Inside Aesthetics Dr Nichola Conlon - 'What is ageing?’ #212
Episode 212 hosts Dr Nichola Conlon a Molecular Biologist from Newcastle, UK.
Nichola is an academic scientist with a particular interest in how and why we age. She's the founder of Nuchido, a company who's mission is to help bring affordable anti-aging strategies to the public domain.
When we started the IA podcast back in 2019, some of our older episodes covered wellness topics that looked at the relationship between looking good & feeling good. But we didn't address aging itself or the evolving field of what many now refer to as 'regenerative medicine'.
Research being conducted here is becoming more and more profound - with some scientists now confident that aging can not only be slowed but even reversed. What will come of this new emerging field we don't know yet, but it's likely to be especially relevant for aesthetic clinics who until now have only had the tools to 'camouflage' the external signs of aging.
We discuss:
- Nichola's background and training
- What regenerative medicine is
- How we age and why evolution is against us
- What happens to our DNA as the body ages
- The role of inflammation in aging and disease
- How to measure aging
- What external factors affect aging
- The evidence that aging can be slowed and even reversed
- The role of NAD+
- How to take NAD+ and ensure that it's bioavailable
- The anti-aging role of other medicines including metformin
- How to measure your biological age (and not your chronological age)
- Biohacking your aging by modifying your lifestyle including intermittent fasting
