Hey Friends,
It’s been a long time, nearly 2.5 years since I started this newsletter, and I want to introduce myself to my 2,340 readers.
So, hi again! I’m Dr. Nina Patrick, the author of Nina’s Notes, a weekly health & science newsletter and podcast.
My journey into longevity and health science started during my PhD, where I studied epigenetics, the code that sits on top of our DNA.
Epigenetics controls which genes are turned on or off, and epigenetics is influenced by our environment.
I also explored the neurotoxicity of MDMA (ecstasy) in the rat brain, which was my first real dive into how substances impact longevity and neurobiology.
After my PhD, I worked in biotech startups in Silicon Valley, then launched my own at-home diagnostics company in Berlin, helping people track health biomarkers through urine tests.
I also run Longevity Wednesdays, a Lisbon-based community for professionals in longevity, where we host events on everything from panels on which longevity supplement we should take, to building the investment case for women’s health.
Through this work, I’ve become fascinated by the intersection of longevity, wellness, and psychedelics.
And over time, I’ve developed my Six Pillars of Longevity.
These are the foundations I live by, and today, I want to share them with you.
Listen here.
