After a career in drug development, Dr. Nichola founded Nuchido, driven by her belief that cutting-edge science should not lie hidden. At Nuchido, Dr. Nichola’s work focuses on delivering disruptive innovation in the field of anti-aging, rejuvenation, and healthspan. It has led to the development of Nuchido TIME+ , a dietary supplement clinically proven to boost NAD+ and reverse biological age. Unlike standard precursors such as NMN or NR, Nuchido TIME+ uses a systems-based approach to target the root causes of NAD+ decline.  👉 You can use code BEN20 to save 20% off your first purchase of Nuchido TIME+ here.  Episode Sponsors Timeline :… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/boundless-life-310787/episodes/could-nad-ivs-be-bad-for-you-how-to-boost-nad-naturally-with-dr-nichola-conlon/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/boundless-life-310787/could-nad-ivs-be-bad-for-you-how-to-boost-nad-naturally-with-dr-nichola-conlon.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
