NAD, Senolytics, Stem Cells: The Longevity Stack That Might Actually Move the Needle with Dan Pardi of Qualia
Episode Description
Modern longevity culture can make "the perfect protocol" feel like the answer—especially when you're a busy mom who wants more energy now and a longer healthspan.
Dan Pardi from Qualia (code: BRITTANY) breaks down what's changed in longevity science over the last 25 years—and why "healthspan" (feeling strong, clear, and capable for longer) matters more than simply living longer.
We get into the real trade-offs of fasting, protein, and vitality, plus a clear explanation of what stem cells actually do, why they decline with age, and how "stem cell wellness" differs from clinic-based stem cell therapy.
