#248 Maila Reeves | The Truth About NAD+, Peptides, and Longevity - What Actually Works

What if your body starts warning you long before real symptoms appear? In this episode, Claudia sits down with Mila Reeves to unpack what real health ownership looks like - from reading your body’s early signals to understanding NAD+, peptides, supplement quality, diagnostics, hormones, energy, and the dangerous gap between good science and good marketing. Maila shares her personal path into longevity, why she believes prevention is no longer optional, how NAD+ moved from addiction clinics into the mainstream longevity world, what most people misunderstand about delivery methods, why quality control in supplements matters far more than most consumers realize, and how to think more clearly about peptides, personalization, and aging well. This is a practical conversation on how to stay sharp, energized, and resilient for longer - without falling for hype.
