LONGEVITY with Nathalie Niddam

My guest this week is Ariel Garten, Co-Founder and CEO of Muse. In this episode, Ariel and I discuss the new version of Muse. It is wearable technology using a brain-sensing headband that provides real-time biofeedback to help you meditate, focus, recover, and sleep. Muse is what you get when you mix meditation with neuroscience. Struggle with meditation? Have a monkey mind? Always think you are doing meditation wrong? Muse can literally hear when your mind is wondering or focused and helps you get back or stay on track. Losing focus during the middle of your workday? A quick session with muse can reset your focus by bringing your body and mind back into a flow state. Are you unable to fall asleep, stay asleep or insomnia keeping you awake all night? Muse is your "digital sleeping pill", where it is able to sense when you are starting to come out of sleep and gently guides you back. It has the same sleep quality technology used in sleep labs, so it's no wonder why labs are using Muse to track and support their sleep patients.

My guest this week is Dr. Scott of Troscriptions. In this episode, Dr. Scott and I discuss methylene blue, nicotine, CBD and of course Troscriptions products as a whole. Methylene Blue is one of the most powerful mitochondrial optimizers, boosting energy levels, enhancing memory, improving focus, protecting the brain, and even works as an anti-infectious aid. Dr. Scott dispels some of the myths going around about methylene blue and why they are bogus. We touch on dosing and why his products are designed with a particular type of delivery method making them highly absorbable and more bioavailable. The applications for methylene blue might surprise you. For instance, it's just as effective for improving focus as it is anti-infectious. There are different ways to use methylene blue depending on your goals. Are you wanting to improve focus? Calm down at the end of the day, or need something to get you back on track post viral infection? Methylene blue can help! Are there contraindications? Sure. We discuss who should not take methylene blue. We also discuss side effects for particular subsets of people. If you have been following the methylene blue chatter this is one you will find very helpful to fill in the gaps of what you may or may not know already!

My guest this week is Dr. Lauc of GlycanAge! In this episode, Dr. Lauc and I discuss the GlycanAge test. This test can help you understand aging due to lifestyle. This test can also help you determine if you may be developing disease. Not a lot of people know about or pay attention to glycans but it turns out they are very involved in your projected longevity. How do I live longer? How do I improve longevity? The GlycanAge test can help. Learn how glycans work in the body and why glycans are important. Glycans are greatly affected by a persons lifestyle choices. If you eat well, get enough sleep, move your body regularly, and have healthy ways of dealing with stress, your GlycanAge is probably 20 years younger than your biological age! Hormones also effect GlycanAge. Dr. Lauc talks about hormone studies in men and women where their GlycanAge was drastically effected depending on how defecient or normal their hormone levels were. Finally, we discuss how a persons GlycanAge might affect their risk for severe COVID symptoms. Learn more about GlycanAge here at and use code NAT for 15% off.
