The Rise of NMN Supplements in the Longevity Movement

As the wellness industry continues to evolve, longevity has emerged as one of its most influential themes. While collagen once dominated the anti-aging supplement space, NAD⁺-boosting compounds—particularly NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide)—are quickly taking center stage for their role in cellular health and energy production. Among the growing number of NMN-based supplements, Wonderfeel Youngr NMN has gained attention for its science-driven formulation and medical oversight. The supplement was developed by a Harvard-trained physician with nearly three decades of experience in NAD⁺ research and cellular aging, positioning it as a more rigorously engineered option in a crowded market. Each daily serving of Wonderfeel Youngr NMN delivers 900 mg of NMN, supported by a blend of research-backed ingredients designed to promote cellular resilience and overall wellness. These include ergothioneine, a potent antioxidant that protects against oxidative stress; resveratrol, known for its benefits to cardiovascular and brain health; hydroxytyrosol, which supports metabolic and heart health; and vitamin D3, an essential nutrient for immune function and cellular regeneration. According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Kristina Collins, NMN serves as a precursor to NAD⁺, a molecule critical for mitochondrial function and cellular repair. “As NAD⁺ levels decline with age, replenishing them can help support energy production, reduce oxidative stress, and slow cellular damage,” she explains. Dr. Azza Halim, a multi-specialist physician with expertise in longevity medicine, adds that maintaining NAD⁺ levels may also support healthy glucose and lipid metabolism—offering benefits similar to those associated with GLP-1–based therapies. She emphasizes that formulation and delivery method matter, noting that IV NAD⁺ therapy may be beneficial for acute fatigue and recovery, while oral NMN supplements are better suited for daily, long-term support. Experts generally agree that NMN levels naturally decline after age 40, making supplementation more relevant for adults seeking proactive support for healthy aging. However, dermatologists caution that younger individuals, pregnant or breastfeeding patients, and those managing chronic health conditions should consult a healthcare provider before beginning NMN supplementation. As interest in longevity science continues to grow, NMN supplements represent a promising tool for individuals focused on maintaining energy, cognitive function, and long-term cellular health—when used thoughtfully and under medical guidance.

The Future of Trans Wellness Is in Telemedicine

“…It’s about damn time that somebody took care of us and focused on us.” by Jennifer Hussein The healthcare industry has been rife with homophobia and transphobia since its inception, and unfortunately, little has changed. According to a survey by the Center for American Progress, 14 percent of LGBTQ+ people have had a doctor or medical professional show visible discomfort due to their identity, while 8 percent have experienced harsh or abusive language, and 7 percent have experienced unwanted physical contact during a medical exam or consultation. Due to this treatment, CAP notes that 25 percent of LGBTQ people who faced discrimination in healthcare postponed or avoided treatment afterward, creating a blatantly hostile and unwelcoming environment that seemed to show little to no effort to change. Then the coronavirus pandemic kicked into full gear, causing all of us to lock away in our homes for the sake of our health, regardless of our gender or sexual identities. The results were less time spent in an actual medical office, and more occurrences of meeting with our healthcare providers via Zoom or Skype, leading to the boom of what we now know as telemedical healthcare. That’s when A.G. Breitenstein decided to take matters into her own hands and create Folx, one of the budding telemedical centers founded by the LGBTQ+ community for the LGBTQ+ community.
