NAD and Sermorelin for Mental Clarity, Recovery, and Anti-Aging | #192
Anti-aging protocols usually come from a doctor's office. This one comes from a self-made entrepreneur who swears by weekly NAD and Sermorelin injections instead.
Mara Dorne is a self-made entrepreneur who built her sales organization from scratch after losing everything in the 2008 financial crisis, eventually becoming the second person in her company's history to surpass a billion dollars in career sales. She describes the realization that turned her first year in sales from six months of no income into six figures, her approach to leading over 1,500 agents through servant leadership, and her biohacking routine, which includes weekly NAD injections for mental clarity, Sermorelin paired with resistance training, glutathione, microneedling, and cryotherapy. She also discusses treating anxiety as a functional trait rather than a limitation, and her view that actively working against aging is a legitimate choice, not vanity.
She and Dr. Joy Kong, the Stem Cell Queen, also get into diversifying a male-dominated industry and staying steady when gossip and criticism show up.
It's a conversation about resilience, biology, and refusing to accept defaults, in your bank account, your industry, or your own aging.
