Leah Vairo (FilterBaby): Is Your Tap Water Aging Your Skin? Chlorine, Hard Water & NAD⁺ Depletion
What if the reason your skin barrier keeps breaking down has nothing to do with your products, and everything to do with the water coming out of your tap? In this episode, Leah Vairo, Chief Brand Officer at FilterBaby, joins us to reveal how chlorine, hard water minerals, and hidden contaminants in your shower or sink accelerate oxidative stress, disrupt the microbiome, and drain your skin’s NAD⁺ reserves. We dive deep on how unfiltered water weakens keratinocyte activity, fuels irritation and redness, and speeds up visible aging. even if you’re using the best skincare. You’ll discover why most shower filters don’t actually work, the lab data showing filtered water improves hydration and wound healing.

This is Why Your NAD+ Routine Isn’t Reaching Your Skin + The Fix
There’s a point where even the best skincare starts to feel like it’s not doing enough. Serums stack up, results slow down. What no one tells you is that this might not be a product issue, it might be an energy issue. Specifically, cellular energy. NAD+. You’ll learn why NAD+ declines with age, how that leads to slower healing, collagen breakdown, and pigmentation, and why traditional skincare can’t keep up. We explain the science behind topical NAD+ delivery, how it compares to IVs and supplements, and why your body doesn't prioritize skin when it’s low on resources. We also break down the best NAD+ precursors (NMN vs NR vs niacinamide), how to track your NAD+ status, and which ingredients actually raise NAD+ levels in skin, not just systemically. You’ll discover how to combine fasting, HIIT, and smart supplementation to build an energy-optimized skincare routine that works from the inside out.
