Series 1: 3. Can a drip make me younger?

Stacey joins an 'NAD+ and prosecco' party in the Cotswolds to get the lowdown on Hollywood’s new fountain of youth - something she admits to being personally intrigued by, as she wants to live forever!\n\nPopularised by celebrities like the Kardashians and Gwyneth Paltrow, this IV drip treatment is now administered by private doctors across the UK. But as she explores further, she finds that the hype may be getting far ahead of the science, as even one private doctor admits that there is currently no solid scientific evidence supporting the claims.\n\nStacey traces the digital meme back to MIT professor Leonard Guarente, a key figure in the longevity movement, and uncovers some research on NAD+ that may be more promising if you want to stay forever young. Closer to home, Stacey meets celebrity Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, who believes you shouldn't trust everything sold on socials after she bought black market skinny jabs and only just lived to tell the tale. It’s a shocking reminder of the importance of consulting your doctor and only buying medication from a legitimate provider before deciding whether to follow any trend.
