Demystifying NAD+ and Longevity Claims| Empowering Midlife Wellness

We’ve all heard the advice: squeeze a stress ball to strengthen your grip and improve longevity. But the truth is, there’s much more to the story. In this video, I break down what grip strength really tells us about our health — and why it’s not just about your hands. Good grip strength reflects muscle mass, neuromuscular function, and independence as we age. That means the real path forward isn’t squeezing something on the couch — it’s building whole-body strength, eating nutrient-dense foods, getting quality sleep, and creating sustainable habits. I’ll share: ✔️ Why grip strength is linked to longevity ✔️ How muscle mass, not gadgets, drives better outcomes ✔️ The role of nutrition, exercise, and recovery in healthy aging ✔️ Practical ways to strengthen your body for long-term health Longevity isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about doing the fundamentals properly — and consistently. Join me as we go beyond the stress ball and into the bigger picture of living well for the long run.

You’ve probably heard NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) called the “miracle molecule” for anti-aging — but how much of that is science, and how much is hype? In this video, I break down: 🔍 What NAD actually does in the body ⏳ How NAD levels change as we age 💊 The truth about supplements like NMN and NR 📊 What the latest research really says about energy, skin health, metabolism, and longevity. There are so many bold promises out there, and I know it’s easy to get confused. My goal is to cut through the noise and share what the science really shows — so you can make informed, evidence-based choices about your midlife wellness.

I’m not paid by SleepMe, and I have no association with them — but I have to share this with you because it has truly changed my sleep. The Chilipad by SleepMe is a temperature-adjustable mattress topper that lets you set your side of the bed — or both sides — just the way you like it, all from an app on your phone. Each side can be warmer or cooler, so you and your partner can both be comfortable without compromising. If you struggle with night sweats, overheating, or restless nights during menopause, this is a game-changer. Since I started using it: My deep sleep improved My total sleep improved My REM sleep improved And I wake up feeling refreshed instead of drenched in sweat In this video, I’ll even walk you through how to set it up — from one totally non-technical person to another. If I can do it, you can too. You’ve got to check it out. Stopping night sweats and sleeping at your perfect temperature can change everything. 💡 Want more tips on better sleep?

Your hormones don’t all “vanish” at the same time when you reach menopause — and in this video, I’m walking you through exactly what I see happen for most women, starting in their 30s or 40s. I’ll explain: 🔹 Estradiol – how it rises and falls during the menstrual cycle, from its lowest levels (50–100 pg/ml) to its peak during ovulation (300+ pg/ml). 🔹 Progesterone – why it’s only produced after ovulation and why it’s usually the first hormone to drop. 🔹 Testosterone – the small but meaningful increase around ovulation and how it changes over time. We’ll look at what these fluctuations mean in perimenopause and the usual order in which they fade — so you can better understand your body and your symptoms. These shifts can start earlier than many women realize, and they don’t happen all at once. By understanding the timing and pattern, you can make more informed choices about your health — whether that’s tracking your cycles, supporting hormone balance, or preparing for the changes ahead. If you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or simply want to be proactive about your midlife health, I invite you to subscribe and join me for more conversations about women’s hormones, wellness, and aging well. 💻 Interested in booking an appointment?

There’s so much judgment swirling around weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide. I hear it all the time — “Why don’t they just eat better?” “Why not exercise more?” But here’s the truth: most people who turn to these medications have already tried — many, many times — and felt like failures when nothing worked. These medications aren’t shortcuts. They’re tools — science-backed, life-saving tools — for people who are struggling with obesity, a condition that carries serious health risks. If we had a safe and effective way to treat any other chronic disease, wouldn’t we use it without shame? The key is using them wisely — as part of a comprehensive, medically supervised program that focuses on real, sustainable health changes. That’s exactly what we do at Complete Midlife Wellness Center through our Holistic Medical Weight Optimization Program. So let’s stop judging others for choosing a path that works for them. Let’s offer support, compassion, and a little more understanding.

Women who are ready to carve out space for joy, rest, and deeper connection — not just with others, but with themselves. You don’t need to come with a friend. You don’t need to know anyone ahead of time. You just have to be open to saying yes — and we’ll take care of the rest. This isn’t just a vacation. It’s a reset. A chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember what happiness feels like — in a place that’s safe, beautiful, and full of possibility. 🌿 Retreat Details 📅 November 12–16, 2025 📍 Papagayo Golden Palms Beachfront Resort & Spa, Guanacaste, Costa Rica 📄 Download the full retreat brochure https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OHSZ_peJBPiLgbWasAPTZ4CxOUnFim4m/view?usp=sharing 🔗 Program + Registration Info: http://bit.ly/4lKF79g Questions?

This is my real, unfiltered mid-facelift journey — before, during, and after — with the gifted Dr. Fred Aguilar. As a physician myself, I’ve always believed in transparency, especially when it comes to choices that affect how we feel in our own skin. For me, this wasn’t about looking younger — it was about alignment. About having my outer appearance reflect the energy, clarity, and confidence I’ve reclaimed in midlife. In this video, I take you through the full mid-facelift experience — from the decision-making process, to the operating room, and through recovery. Dr. Aguilar is a true artist. With over 35 years of experience and triple board certifications, he brings not only surgical excellence but also a deep respect for natural beauty and subtlety. Whether you’re curious about facelift surgery or simply navigating your own evolution in midlife, I hope my story offers both clarity and encouragement. Thank you for being here. MEET DR.
