What are the top questions women are Googling about menopause? In this episode, I'm breaking down the six most searched questions about menopause and sharing the science, the myths, and the practical solutions that actually help. Because menopause isn't just something you type into a search bar, it's something you live through and you deserve more than generic answers. We cover: The very first signs and symptoms women notice when menopause begins The average age menopause starts and what influences it The most common (and surprising) symptoms no one tells you about How long menopause actually lasts and why the answer isn't simple Hormone therapy: is it safe, who should consider it, and what the research says Blog article: https://hackmyage.com/most-common-and-uncommon-menopause-symptoms/ Podcast Uncommon Symptoms and Perimenopause Stages: https://youtu.be/o7UZcD79rN8?si=by8XD7rU4sHJ0V-J Give thanks to our sponsors: Try Vitali skincare. 20% off with code ZORA here Get Primeadine spermidine by Oxford Healthspan. 15% discount with code ZORA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Is NAD really the fountain of youth, or just another overhyped supplement trend? From energy boosts to wrinkle reduction, the excitement is everywhere, but the truth is a lot more complex. In this episode, I sit down with biomedical engineer Courtney Van Bussum to cut through the noise. Courtney brings deep expertise in cellular and longevity science,, giving her a unique perspective on both the research and the real-world clinical applications. We cover: What NAD actually is and why it's essential for energy, longevity, and healthy aging. How to know if your NAD levels are low and whether it even matters. The biggest myths and misconceptions about NAD supplements. NAD changes in pre- versus post-menopause. Why precursors like NR and NMN may backfire if deeper pathways aren't addressed. Free and low-cost ways to preserve and recycle NAD naturally. What you need to know about the molecule 1-MNA (and why it may be more important than NAD itself). Courtney Van Bussum is the COO and co-founder of Longevity Launch Labs, an innovation incubator accelerating breakthrough products and companies in cellular and longevity medicine. With a background in biomedical engineering and early experience as a strategy consultant working with both Fortune 500s and startups, Courtney brings a rare blend of scientific insight and operational execution. Before launching Longevity Launch Labs, she helped modernize operations at the Boulder Longevity Institute—one of the country's leading functional and regenerative medicine clinics. Courtney's mission is to help build parallel systems that make healthcare smarter, more proactive, and more personal—especially in the rapidly evolving world of cellular health.
