## Resource

Dr. Nichola Conlon, molecular biologist, NAD⁺ researcher, and CEO of Nuchido (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), unpacks inflammation, mitochondrial energy, and biological age through a clear, female-first lens. She discusses how NAD⁺ decline intersects with hormones and stress, why over-fasting and all-out training can backfire, and when to prioritize nervous-system safety in seasons like postpartum and perimenopause. Expect practical ways to test what matters, calm hidden inflammation, and switch on your cells' own NAD⁺ production—so longevity feels steady, not extreme.
