The NAD+ episode
This episode is on a topic I’m getting asked about constantly. Well, that’s true for all the episodes really but this is an especially hot topic it seems. Especially with all my peri-experiencing friends. Let’s chat NAD+.
We’re not saying it’s magic, but NAD+ might be the closest thing.This one’s for anyone trying to feel sharp, sleep better, and look glowier from the inside out. So you know I love it.
Let’s get into it.

Sensitivity and supplements
00:42 — Is it the weight of the world or is it the weather? We talk mindset, peptides, and estrogen face cream.
The telepathy tapes and neurodivergent gifts
04:33 — I’m obsessed with this podcast. We chat and unpack nonverbal communication, lightworkers, and how it reframes what’s happening.
NAD+ 101: the youth molecule
05:31 — Why NAD+ is crucial for energy, aging, and mitochondria—and why your levels are likely plummeting if you’re in perimenopause. PS. If you’re in peri, give this episode a listen.
So you think you need NAD+
08:44 — Dull skin, brain fog, slow recovery: the story of my current life. NAD+ tells your cells how to behave. So when it dips, everything goes with it.
The stack
11:16 — NMN, NR, CoQ10, and resveratrol. We get granular. What to take, how much, and why each of these supplements work better together. Plus: Maggie’s methylation tip.
The format chat
15:01 — Pills? Injections? IVs? We break down the pros, cons, cost, and timing of each method, including how to make it work for your budget. This stuff ain’t cheap!
How to boost NAD+ naturally
17:45 — Cold plunges, circadian rhythm, HIIT, and intermittent fasting, we get into it all. And cover the practical NAD+ support plan I like best.
SubQ vs IV
18:59 — I make the case for subcutaneous injections: slower than IV, but way cheaper, more stable, and still super bioavailable.
The dream protocol
22:16 — If you’re only doing one thing, I tell you which. If you’re stacking, we map the ideal plan: supplements, sub-Q, and monthly IV.
Rapid fire
24:32 — Enchiladas, fennel, and light.
