LONGEVITY with Nathalie Niddam

📍 Good news! My original Instagram is back! Please follow my original account at https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ and also my backup account at https://www.instagram.com/longevitywithnat/.

Today, I’m joined by Dan Pardi, a pioneering researcher who has dedicated years to understanding sleep, performance, and—the real focus of today’s conversation—the science of human energy. Dan unpacks how modern life is quietly draining our brain’s battery, and why brain energy, not just the march of time, could be the hidden driver of longevity.

We dive into why short “exercise snacks” can outperform marathon workouts for keeping your brain sharp, how chronic stress and relentless screen time undermine cognitive performance, and the surprising reasons creatine is fast becoming a game-changer for brain health, not just muscle building.

Today, I’m joined by Dr. Jill Crista, a pioneering voice in environmental medicine and a relentless detective when it comes to chronic, mysterious illness. In our conversation, Dr. Crista reveals how she uncovered the hidden world of mold and mycotoxins—not just as respiratory irritants, but as stealthy drivers of fatigue, brain fog, hormone disruption, and accelerated aging. She shares her early experiences working with “non-responders” in Lyme disease, and how uncovering toxic mold exposures transformed her entire understanding of whole-body health.

Dr. Bill Lawrence Episode

Today, I’m mixing things up with a special episode that takes you on a tour through some of the most compelling moments from the past quarter. Rather than a typical interview or solo deep dive, I’ve curated standout clips from episodes that lit a fire under important longevity conversations and resonated deeply with both me and the team.
We’ll cover the markers that could signal your body’s terrain is welcoming to cancer, practical strategies for calming an agitated nervous system when mast cell issues show up (especially with age), and the truths about Lyme disease that most people—maybe even your doctor—completely miss. You’ll also hear expert advice on EMF protection that separates real solutions from the noise, and gather insights on long COVID that go way beyond the headlines and arm you with things you can actually do.
Whether you’re here to pick up new tips for optimizing your health or just looking for that nudge of inspiration to dig deeper into your own wellness journey, this longevity mix has something for you.
Follow my NEW Instagram @longevitywithnat and my existing Instagram @nathalieniddam (that’s back…for now).
