Today, we’re diving into something that goes way beyond skincare, how your skin is actually a powerful window into your overall health and longevity. Most people think of aging as just wrinkles and fine lines, but the reality is that what’s happening on the surface is a direct reflection of what’s going on at the cellular level.

To explore this, I’m joined by Nick Engerer, a longevity scientist and the founder of A Longer Life, where he helps people take a data-driven, strategic approach to optimizing health and aging. Nick’s work is all about cutting through the noise, moving beyond trends and hype to focus on what actually works when it comes to extending healthspan and improving quality of life.

In this episode, we get into why your skin and hair are some of the most revealing biomarkers of aging, how UV exposure accelerates biological aging in ways most people don’t realize, and what you can do to slow that process down. We also tackle one of the biggest challenges in wellness today, decision fatigue. With endless options for supplements, treatments, and interventions, how do you know what’s actually worth your time and money?

Nick’s background is unique, he started as a solar radiation scientist before pivoting into longevity science, bringing a data-driven approach to proactive health. Through A Longer Life, he’s building a framework to help people apply longevity strategies in a practical, sustainable way.

If you want to learn how to take control of your skin health, optimize your longevity, and navigate the overwhelming world of wellness with confidence, this episode is for you.
