Why women age differently, with Dr Andrew Salzman

Season 30, Ep. 8

Is there a difference in how men and women age? Dr Andrew Salzman joins Liz to reveal whether we age differently to men biologically, and if it is possible to get our younger hair, skin and vitality back in later life.


In this episode, brought to you in partnership with Wonderfeel Biosciences, Andrew shares what is really happening inside our bodies with age, plus why this process hits women differently.


Liz and Andrew also discuss why increasing NAD levels is a midlife must for our cognition, hair and skin, sexual health, and our hormones.
