NAD+ and why it runs out - the 2026 evidence
NAD+ is the coenzyme that drives energy production in every cell — and it declines by approximately 50% between your 30s and your 50s. Clinical naturopath Cassandra Hilton covers the four mechanisms driving this decline, what the 2026 research shows about oral NMN, NR and IV NAD+ infusions, and why diet and lifestyle remain the non-negotiable foundation.
The longevity consultation - what to expect and how to prepare
A naturopathic longevity consultation covers biological age, genetics, comprehensive biomarkers, hormonal status and personalised protocol design — all in a clinical framework you will not find in a standard GP visit. Clinical naturopath Cassandra Hilton explains what happens in a longevity consultation, what The Longevity Blueprint includes and how to prepare.
Your biological age is not your birthday.
Chronological age is how old you are. Biological age is how old your cells are — and the two are often significantly different. Epigenetic clocks now make biological age measurable, and the gap between the numbers is where the most meaningful longevity work happens. Here's what the research says and what you can do about it.
Skin DNA and Holistic Ageing
The skin is directly exposed to many environmental factors and therefore provides an attractive mechanism for studying environmentally induced epigenetic factors associated with human ageing.
