For the next two months, I lived like a woman possessed.
I flew to a longevity conference in Boston. I paid $3,200 for access to a closed research symposium at a San Diego biotech firm. I cold-emailed researchers at the Buck Institute. I read everything David Sinclair had ever published.
And what I found made me furious.
The entire "treat your fatigue" industrial complex — the GPs, the hormone clinics, the sleep coaches, the IV lounges — is built on a single omission.
They address the symptoms. They never address the cause.
The cause is this: 95% of the fatigue, brain fog, sleep disruption, and accelerated aging that women experience after 40 traces back to one root — collapsing NAD+ levels.
