=========================================

Are we chasing younger looks while overlooking what it really takes to age well?


On this episode of All About You, Dr Shauna Watts sits down with facial cosmetic surgeon Dr. Daria Hamrah to question what the booming longevity industry is actually delivering.


After nearly two decades in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Daria Hamrah began looking beyond visible signs of ageing to understand the biological processes underneath. His research led him to a bigger question: are we becoming better at treating the appearance of ageing while overlooking the factors that influence our long-term health?


Together, they examine the science behind NAD+ infusions, longevity peptides, exosomes and other treatments gaining attention on social media.


IN THIS EPISODE

• The anti-ageing paradox: Why treating visible signs of ageing is not the same as addressing the underlying biology.

• NAD+ infusions: What we know about NAD+, cellular energy and DNA repair, and where the evidence for anti-ageing benefits remains limited.

• Longevity peptides: The difference between established medicines and experimental products with limited human evidence.

• Exosomes and emerging treatments: Why promising mechanisms are not the same as demonstrated clinical benefits.

• GLP-1 medications and weight loss: The importance of medical supervision, nutrition and protecting lean body mass.

• Facial ageing after weight loss: How changes in facial volume and skin laxity can affect appearance.

• Muscle and healthy ageing: Why resistance training and adequate protein intake matter for maintaining muscle.

• The four foundations of longevity: Sleep, movement, nutrition and stress management.


THREE QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE TRYING A LONGEVITY TREATMENT


1. What specific problem is this treatment intended to address?


2. Is there evidence of meaningful benefits in humans, rather than only laboratory or animal research?


3. How will we know whether it is actually working?
