Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide

who somehow are just not able to clear it as well as other patients.

And it's also something that depletes NAD+, right? And these people get really, really sick.

And I test everybody for metals.

I test for a whole like 10 or 12, including cadmium, mercury, lead, arsenic, gadolinium, thallium.

Yes, there are.

And...

One part of the biology I really wanted to talk about was NAD.

Because NAD is very interesting.

Some people.

Oh, it was a NAD video I saw on TikTok and it was a lady speaking on NAD and like how you shouldn't do it.

And to me, I was like, I feel like you can't speak on these things until you do your own research of both sides.

Right.

We'd have no idea where our numbers are at, right? We don't know, you know, our vitamin D profile, our vitamin B status, how's our, you know, triglycerides, whatever it is, get the data.

And, you know, I do it through DNA, gut and blood, but if you can only get one, then get one, you know what I mean? Just find out where you are as a baseline, because a lot of people are just getting to the journey and we start supplementing anything that's hot right now, right? You know, NAD is huge right now.

There's resveratrol, there's so many of these supplement industries, and you can't just jump there.

If you're not taking care of the basics, a lot of these are going to do nothing for

You just never know.

I mean, you don't want to find out a patient has cancer and you put them on NAD, you put them on MOTC, you put them on testameterline, and all of a sudden now you have this cancer growth.

And if you just done lab work before, you might have found something off somewhere.

um to do something with it's not it's rare i don't make anyone scared and you get cancer you have to if i just do blood work i'm gonna know but i just want people to have an idea like maybe a little energy is because your testosterone is low nicole your testosterone is low you got on it it's not because i was 14 and that's pretty low um that's terrible and so i think that's it i want i want people to do the other side of it so what i do see happening over the next five years is more actually health coaches more people doing this rather than just me And it's going to be a revolution in healthcare.

So we appreciate you guys, but let me just pull up the school platform really quick so we can, we can chat about some of these questions that people have.

So the, the first question is, which I think is a good one to go through, is going to be about NAD, biofermented NAD.

Yeah, that's a very good question.

I'm surprised people haven't asked that one before.

Where our manufacturer makes it, but I don't know any other manufacturer here in the U.S. that makes it.

I don't see it very often on a lot of sites.

And, you know, people ask, well, what the difference between bio-fermented NAD is and normal NAD? Yeah.

And it's just the way that it's cultured, essentially.

Yes.

Serves as a precursor for compounds involved in cellular energy metabolism, particularly NAD.

And we love NAD.

And NADP.

That's the magic word.

NAD.

We do love NAD.

The energy, the sustained energy from that is pretty amazing.

You ever tried something called C-Max or C-Lank?

Oh, you know what? I also am taking a nasal spray for NAD+.

You take NAD nasally? Yeah.

Fuck.

I just took my

I want to spend our last few minutes on something I feel strongly about because it's relevant to basically everything else you'll hear about longevity online.

We are in a moment where the loudest voices in the longevity conversation are talking about peptides NAD plus precursors, rapamycin protocols, cold plunges, continuous glucose monitors on people without diabetes, and an ever expanding supplement stack with a new molecule every few months.

Some of that research is genuinely interesting, and some of it may eventually prove clinically meaningful with more data.

But, and I'll be upfront that I don't have a specific citable survey in front of me for this exact claim, my read of the physicians actually practicing in this space and the pattern I see in the peer-reviewed literature is that resistance training and adequate protein intake have a far larger and more consistently replicated effect on health span than almost any of the trendier interventions currently getting the headlines.
