#60 Not a Peptide, Still a Powerhouse: The Real Story on NAD+

2026-10-0126:29

One in eight adults report feeling exhausted almost every day for months at a time — and for women 18-44, it's closer to one in five. That's the jumping-off point for this episode, where Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Brickie tackle a molecule that shows up on nearly every peptide company's menu, even though it isn't technically a peptide at all: NAD+.

Dr. Kylie Burton and Jessica Brickie tell the story of Mary Kay Ash: 25 years in corporate sales, passed over for a promotion in favor of a man she'd personally trained, and once awarded a fisherman's flashlight as a prize for being one of the company's top performers. At 45, newly widowed just a month before launch, and against the advice of her own lawyer and accountant, she...
