NAD+ has become the longevity industry's favorite molecule, sold as as a supplement and as a four-hour IV that promises sharper thinking, more energy, and slower aging. But a new 2026 paper complicates the very story it was built on. In this episode, Jeff breaks down what NAD+ actually is, what the human trials really show, and why the gap between a $40 oral supplement and a $1,200 IV drip matters more than the marketing admits. You'll learn about: What NAD+ does in the body and why it got tied to aging The new research questioning whether NAD+ truly declines with age Oral NR and NMN versus IV infusions, and what the evidence supports The risks rarely mentioned, including the cancer question Why the saline, B vitamins, and forced rest may explain how good people feel This episode is for anyone weighing NAD+, longevity supplements, or an IV drip, and who wants to tell real science from wellness hype first.

How CD38, PARP, and Leaky Gut Are Destroying Your NAD Levels | Dr. Andrew Salzman Your NAD is being drained by two hidden enzymes, your gut may be the starting point of every aging process in your body, and creatine does something to your mitochondria that has nothing to do with muscle. This episode rewrites what you thought you knew about longevity, anti-aging biology, and how your body actually produces and delivers energy at the cellular level. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Explore all of Wonderfeel's products at: getwonderfeel.com/dave They are gifting a complimentary 7-day Youngr™ supply (mini pouch) with every order across any of their products.

Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Andrew Salzman, a physician, inventor, and biomedical entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience in drug discovery and development. An alumnus of Harvard Medical School, Yale University, and Columbia University, Dr. Salzman has authored more than 170 scientific publications and holds 50 patents. He invented the original clinical-stage PARP-1 inhibitor, leading to the world's first clinical treatment for raising NAD levels and fighting cancers caused by the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Genentech licensed his breakthrough technology for $600 million. His research into gastrointestinal microbiota, autoimmune disease, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial ATP production now forms the foundation of how millions of patients get treated worldwide. Dr. Salzman names the two biggest NAD drains in your body, CD38 and PARP, and explains why taking NMN or NR alone is like filling a bathtub with the drain wide open. He breaks down the formulation science behind pairing NAD precursors with CD38 blockers like hydroxytyrosol alongside PARP-reducing antioxidants like ergothioneine, and delivers a paradigm-shifting explanation of creatine as an energy distribution network inside your cells. Rather than a simple muscle supplement, creatine acts as a high-speed ATP shuttle that carries energy from your mitochondria to the precise location and moment your brain, gut, and heart need it most. You'll Learn: Why NAD declines with age and which two enzymes are primarily responsible for draining it How CD38 rises with inflammation rather than NAD levels, and what that means for your supplement strategy Why creatine is one of the most underrated anti-aging and brain optimization supplements available How creatine functions as a spatial and temporal energy delivery network for your brain, gut, and heart Why the gut may be the origin point of the entire aging process and how that cascade unfolds decade by decade How leaky gut drives systemic inflammation, crashes NAD, and accelerates biological aging throughout the body What controls tight junction integrity and how ATP, butyrate, creatine, and fasting all play a role Why most creatine supplements fail to absorb properly and what to look for in a high-quality source How to rebuild your microbiome in three to four weeks through diet alone, without antibiotics Why walking immediately after a meal may be doing more harm than good to your gut lining Thank you to our sponsors! - Screenfit | Get your at-home eye training program for 40% off using code DAVE at https://www.screenfit.com/dave. - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - Pique | Go to Piquelife.com/dave for 20% off. - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

“What if the exhaustion, brain fog, low libido, and metabolic changes women experience in midlife are actually rooted in a deeper cellular energy crisis?” In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with Dr. Andrew Salzman — physician, inventor, biochemical engineer, and Chief Scientific Officer of Wonderfeel — to unpack the powerful connection between NAD, mitochondrial health, inflammation, ovarian aging, gut integrity, nitric oxide, and the dramatic energy shifts women experience during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Salzman explains why menopause represents a major biological inflection point for women and how declining NAD levels may be contributing to fatigue, brain fog, poor recovery, metabolic dysfunction, sleep issues, reduced stress resilience, cardiovascular changes, and shifts in sexual health. Together, they explore the evolutionary role of menopause, why ovarian senescence accelerates aging pathways, how inflammation and the enzyme CD38 rapidly deplete NAD stores, and why the gut microbiome may be one of the biggest drivers of inflammation and energy decline in modern women. They also dive into nitric oxide production, cardiovascular health, the brain's dependence on NAD for sleep and cognitive function, and why ingredients like NMN and creatine are gaining attention for supporting healthy aging and resilience in midlife. If you've ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I don't feel like myself anymore,” this conversation will help connect the dots between your symptoms, your mitochondria, and your long-term vitality. ANDREW SALZMAN Dr. Andrew Salzman is a physician, inventor, biochemical engineer, and the Chief Scientific Officer of Wonderfeel. With more than 30 years of experience in drug discovery and development, over 170 scientific publications, and more than 50 patents, Dr. Salzman has spent decades studying aging biology, inflammation, cellular resilience, nitric oxide signaling, and mitochondrial health IN THIS EPISODE Why menopause is a major biological inflection point for women How declining NAD levels impact energy, metabolism, sleep, and brain function Why CD38 accelerates inflammation and NAD depletion during aging The surprising connection between gut health, inflammation, and menopause symptoms How estrogen decline contributes to leaky gut and systemic inflammation Why nitric oxide is essential for circulation, libido, cardiovascular health, and cognition The role of NAD in circadian rhythm, sleep quality, and stress resilience Why NMN and creatine are gaining attention for healthy aging and vitality QUOTES“Menopause will happen, but the question is: how do we maintain vibrancy and resilience through it?” “NAD is the common currency that drives energy throughout the body.” “The gut is the foundational driver of inflammation as we age.” “Without NADPH, you don't have nitric oxide production.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Subscribe and Save $15 on Wonderfeel Youngr™ NMN: https://tidd.ly/4rPnckS Use code ENERGIZED and get 30% off on your first BATCH order https://hellobatch.com/ENERGIZED Order my newest book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Wonderfeel Website Wonderfeel Instagram Wonderfeel YouTube RELATED EPISODES 741: Estrogen, Gut Health, Mitochondria, and Cardiovascular Health: What Changes In Perimenopause with Dr. Siobhan Mitchel 691: The Fertility Crisis No One Talks About: Why Your Health Today Impacts Future Generations with Dr. Ann Shippy 717: “I Don't Feel Like Myself Anymore”: The Mental & Emotional Reality of Perimenopause 743: Why Your Heart Risk Changes in Menopause (And What You Can Do About It) with Dr. Jayne Morgan

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/nadplus In this fascinating episode, Dr. Nichola Conlon, molecular biologist and founder of Nuchido, breaks down what NAD actually is, what it does inside your cells, and why most popular strategies for boosting it, including NAD IVs, patches, and high-dose NR or NMN, may be fundamentally flawed based on molecular biology. You’ll discover why NAD declines by half every 20 years, why the NAMPT enzyme and not a shortage of raw material is the real bottleneck, and why flooding the body with precursors without fixing the salvage pathway can actually strain your methylation pathways rather than raise NAD. You’ll also explore how inflammation through the cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) enzyme silently drains NAD faster than almost anything else, what a gold standard double-blind placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial on Nuchido TIME+ actually showed, and why NAD sits at the intersection of energy production, cellular repair, sleep, skin health, and biological aging. Dr. Nichola Conlon (BSc, MRes, PhD) specializes in cellular aging. After a career in drug development, Dr. Nichola founded Nuchido, driven by her belief that cutting-edge science should not lie hidden. At Nuchido, Dr. Nichola’s work focuses on delivering disruptive innovation in the field of anti-aging, rejuvenation, and healthspan. It has led to the development of Nuchido TIME+, a dietary supplement clinically proven to boost NAD+ and reverse biological age. Unlike standard precursors such as NMN or NR, Nuchido TIME+ uses a systems-based approach to target the root causes of NAD+ decline.

Welcome to the latest episode of LIFTS, your bite-sized dose of the Latest Industry Fitness Trends and Stories. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal explore one of the most talked-about topics in modern wellness: NAD and the rapid rise of longevity therapies. Joined by Rachele Pojednic, Chief Science Officer at Restore Hyper Wellness, the conversation breaks down what NAD actually is, how it functions within the body, and why it has become such a focal point in energy, recovery, and healthy aging. As wellness clinics, IV therapies, and performance treatments continue to grow in popularity, NAD has emerged as a central molecule in the conversation around optimisation and longevity. However, as interest increases, so too does the gap between consumer awareness, scientific understanding, and real-world application. The discussion explores the biology behind NAD, including its role in cellular energy production, metabolism, and DNA repair, while also examining the different forms of NAD and its precursors, such as NR and NMN. Matthew and Mo share their own experiences with NAD therapies, opening up a broader discussion around delivery methods, perceived benefits, and the difference between anecdotal outcomes and evidence-based practice. As the conversation develops, Rachel highlights the importance of understanding not just the therapy, but the underlying molecule, and why factors such as dosage, delivery method, and cellular transport play a critical role in determining effectiveness. The episode also addresses the wider challenges within the wellness industry, including the speed at which new therapies are being adopted, the influence of biohacking culture, and the growing need for scientific validation and safety data. For operators, this episode provides valuable insight into both the opportunities and responsibilities associated with integrating longevity and wellness services into fitness environments. In this episode, we cover: What NAD is and how it works in the body Why NAD levels decline with age The rise of NAD and wellness clinics The difference between NAD, NR, and NMN Why delivery method and molecule selection matter The gap between wellness hype and scientific evidence Safety considerations, dosage challenges, and unknowns
Send us Fan MailWrinkles, sagging, and pigment are easy targets because we can see them, measure them, and sell treatments for them. But I keep coming back to a more uncomfortable question: are we actually treating aging, or are we only managing the appearance of aging? In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Suzan Obagi, a leader in cosmetic dermatology and cosmetic surgery and Associate Professor in Dermatology and Plastic Surgery from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and former President of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, to follow the smoke back to the fire and talk about what really drives skin aging and recovery.We break down intrinsic aging versus extrinsic aging and why epigenetics, inflammation, and oxidative stress matter as much as lasers and injectables. Dr. Obagi explains what collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans do, why their production peaks early, and why menopause can accelerate collagen decline. We also get honest about hormone replacement therapy: how estrogen affects skin, mood, joints, vessels, brain health, and wound healing, where risks truly live, and why many women are still mismanaged with symptom-only fixes. If you care about healthspan, longevity, menopause skin changes, and better surgical outcomes, this part will shift your perspective.Then we turn practical. You'll hear the simplest high-yield skincare routine we both rely on: cleansing, well-formulated antioxidants morning and night, moisturizers that support barrier function, mineral sunscreen, and retinoids with realistic timelines for results. We also unpack why some medspa “annual” treatment advice keeps people on a treadmill, and we look ahead at where anti-aging medicine may go next, from rapamycin analogs to NMN to the promise and complexity of Yamanaka factors.If this made you rethink your approach to anti-aging skin care, hormone health, or aesthetic medicine, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.Dr. Suzan Obagi links:Instagram: @suzanobagimdWebsite:http://dermatology.pitt.edu/people/suzan-obagi-mdTweet me @realdrhamrahIG @drhamrah
Send us Fan MailAfter the episode from 2 weeks ago where I covered Protein, creatine etc. This week I'm tackling some of today's talked-about/hyped supplements and explain why it's crucial to approach them with a healthy dose of skepticism. Promising to clarify the role of trendy options like NAD, NAD+, and NMN, Can boosting naturally declining NAD levels truly reverse aging? And should you trust wellness gurus who pivot from publishing to selling supplements with scant evidence? With non-human studies forming the backbone of much of the current research, you'll hear why investing in healthy lifestyle habits like exercise and diet might be your best bet. I also call out the pattern of wellness figures capitalizing on fleeting trends, urging you to stay informed and cautious about what's genuinely effective for your health.

Most people think boosting NAD+ is the key to better energy, longevity, and cellular health… but what if that's not the full story?In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I break down a shocking new concern emerging from recent NAD+ research—one that could have serious implications when it comes to cancer risk and uncontrolled cell growth.NAD+ has been widely promoted for anti-aging, metabolism, and mitochondrial function. But here's what most people aren't talking about: increasing NAD+ may also fuel the wrong cells under certain conditions. That's where things get complicated—and potentially dangerous.If you're taking NAD+ boosters, considering NMN or NR supplements, or trying to optimize longevity, you need to understand the full picture—not just the benefits, but the risks.This is not about fear—it's about being informed so you can make smarter, safer decisions for your health.Listen to the full episode to understand: • What the latest NAD+ study actually reveals • How NAD+ impacts both healthy and abnormal cells • Who should be cautious with NAD+ supplementation • What to focus on instead for true, root-cause healthYour health strategy should be based on what actually works long-term—not just what's trending.Listen now and take control of your health with clarity and confidence.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement • Accelerated Methylene Blue® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-methylene-blue-supplement • Accelerated Liver Care® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-liver-care• Accelerated Methylene Blue® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-methylene-blue-supplementNot sure what food to eat and avoid? This guide is for you.⬇️
Most people know NAD+ as a supplement trend. But very few understand what's actually happening inside their skin cells when it runs out or what's stealing it in the first place.By the time you're 45, you've lost half of the molecule that powers virtually every function keeping your skin young. Sadly, it only gets worse from there. The enzyme your skin uses for DNA repair can wipe out up to 90% of what's left after a single afternoon in the sun. This isn't a slow, graceful decline. It's a collapse happening beneath the surface long before the wrinkles appear.In this episode, we will nerd out and break down exactly why NAD+ disappears, who the thieves are, and what the science actually says about getting it back. From the sirtuin-PARP-CD38 trifecta to the zombie cell feedback loop that accelerates the drain with age, this is the most complete picture of NAD+ and skin aging we've put together to date.We also cover the real differences between NMN, NR, and niacin, why the precursor you choose actually matters, and what to stack with it to protect your methylation pathways.Ready to nerd out in this with us?Let's dive in!What's Discussed:(4:00) The number that changes how you think about skin aging.(6:03) What NAD+ actually does and why "rechargeable battery" undersells it.(8:18) The three enzyme families consuming your NAD+ as a substrate.(8:23) Sirtuins: the police of your cells and what they cost you.(9:42) PARPs: the fire brigade and why one sunburn nearly wipes you out.(11:16) CD38: the NAD+ Pac-Man that gets worse with age.(15:10) The five-fold decline: what the 2012 tissue study actually found.(16:15) CD38 and the zombie cell feedback loop driving the decline.(19:39) What the depletion actually looks like in the mirror.(28:04) Why NAD+ decline is reversible & supplementation deep dive.(28:41) NMN: how it works and what the studies actually show.(31:50) NR: the most clinically studied precursor and who it's best for.(33:27) Niacin: the $5 option and why most people can't tolerate it.(38:14) Why timing your NAD+ to your circadian rhythm matters.(38:35) TMG and methylation: what to stack and the two-to-one ratio.Learn more about NAD from our previous podcasts and videos:Previous NAD YouTube Videos:NAD+, Skincare Science + The Future of Skincare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmwYLywwcsA Biohack Your Way to Better Skin - Benefits of NAD Boosting Supplementation for Skincare & Anti-Aging: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIz5MvW7X1M Why Your NAD+ Supplement Isn't Helping Your Skin | The Truth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euIj0eLt4Aw The Science Behind NAD+, Link Between NAD+ Skin Aging, Importance of Precursors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmsUeQklYY0 The NAD+ Protocol That Could Reverse Skin Aging (Doctors Won't Tell You) | Dr. Scott Sherr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYJgVSoj_XM Previous NAD Podcasts:NAD 101: Unlocking The Secrets To Youthful Skin: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nad-101-unlocking-the-secrets-to-youthful-skin/id1552026927?i=1000652231123 The Relationship Between NAD+ and Your Skin, NAD+ Depletion, Bioavailability, Precursors, Sirtuins, and More: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/22-the-relationship-between-nad-and-your-skin/id1552026927?i=1000568088462 The Science Behind NAD+, the Link Between NAD+ and Skin Aging, and the Importance of Precursors: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-science-behind-nad-the-link-between-nad-and/id1552026927?i=1000615122098 Ben Azadi: How NAD+ Helps Reverse Aging + Skin Problems Connected to Deeper Health Issues: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ben-azadi-how-nad-helps-reverse-aging-skin-problems/id1552026927?i=1000662495945 Turn Back the Clock: NAD and Skin Biohacking: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/turn-back-the-clock-nad-and-skin-biohacking/id1552026927?i=1000681105344 Research Studies Mentioned: Age-Associated Changes In Oxidative Stress and NAD+ Metabolism In Human Tissue: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0042357 CD38 Dictates Age-Related NAD Decline and Mitochondrial Dysfunction: https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(16)30225-7 Senescent cells promote tissue NAD+ decline during ageing via the activation of CD38+ macrophages: https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-020-00305-3 Enhanced SIRT1 Activity Mitigates UVB-Induced Senescence in Dermal Fibroblasts: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39401943/ Slc12a8 is a nicotinamide mononucleotide transporter: https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-018-0009-4 The efficacy and safety of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) supplementation in healthy middle-aged adults: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11357-022-00705-1 Nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide facilitate NAD+ synthesis via enterohepatic circulation: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adl5154 Chronic nicotinamide riboside supplementation is well-tolerated and elevates NAD+ in healthy middle-aged and older adults: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-03421-7 Find more from Young Goose:Use code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you're a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://younggoose.comInstagram: @young_goose_skincareHead to younggoose.com/products/youth-body-cream for 20% offBody Cream: Head to younggoose.com/products/youth-body-cream for 20% off

This episode explores what NAD is, why it matters for cellular energy and metabolic function, and why measuring it accurately has historically been so difficult. Guest Jari Närhi explains that NAD is essential for mitochondrial ATP production, DNA repair, inflammation response, and hundreds of metabolic processes, but that low NAD is usually more a consequence of illness, inflammation, or depletion than a root cause on its own. The conversation unpacks the nuance around supplementation, including niacin, NR, NMN, and NAD IVs, while emphasizing that more is not always better and that raising NAD without clear need may not be beneficial. Leigh Ann and Jari also discuss the limits of conventional NAD testing, noting that measuring only NAD+ offers a very incomplete picture compared with looking at multiple NAD forms and their ratios. A major focus of the episode is how NADMED's technology makes it possible for clinical labs to measure several NAD metabolites more reliably and at scale, opening the door for better clinical use and research.

Is your NAD+ supplement actually working against you? Millions of people are taking NMN or NR thinking they're doing something smart for their longevity. And the science behind NAD+ is genuinely extraordinary. But the way most people are supplementing it is incomplete — and there's growing evidence it could be creating downstream harm most people never connect back to their supplement. In this episode I break down the full NAD+ story — the methylation trap, the CD38 drain, why high-dose NMN may be elevating your cardiovascular risk markers, and what an intelligent systems-level approach actually looks like. I co-developed NAD+ Next Gen with Peter Lehrke— and in this episode I walk you through exactly why every ingredient is in the formula. WHAT WE COVER: - The 2023 Nature Cardiovascular Research findings on NMN & ADMA - How high-dose NMN drains your SAM pool and disrupts dopamine, DNA methylation and homocysteine - CD38 — the biggest NAD+ drain in ageing nobody talks about - The bathtub model: precursors, drains, sirtuin efficiency - Why niacinamide may be smarter than high-dose NMN - EGCG, resveratrol, apigenin, quercetin, rutin — the why behind each ingredient - 6 practical takeaways including which blood test to get now KEY LINKS: NAD+ Next Gen → https://aevumlabs.co.nz Rejuvenate Pro → https://shop.lisatamati.com Pushing The Limits community → https://www.lisatamati.com GET YOUR HOMOCYSTEINE TESTED: Optimal: below 7–8 µmol/L Above 10 µmol/L: address your methylation cycle urgently Lisa Tamati is a functional health practitioner, longevity specialist, co-founder of Aevum Labs, host of Pushing The Limits, and former elite ultra-endurance athlete with 25 years and 140+ ultramarathons across the world's most extreme environments.

Most people think feeling tired, foggy, and “off” is just what happens with age.But what if the real issue is that your cells are running on less fuel than they used to?In this episode of the Kwik Brain podcast, I sit down with Dr. Andrew Salzman, Harvard-trained physician, inventor, and biomedical entrepreneur, to unpack what's happening at the cellular level when energy drops and your brain stops feeling sharp.We break down NAD, a molecule involved in hundreds of critical reactions in the body, why it declines as you age, and how inflammation can accelerate that decline. We also talk about NMN, and why your brain is often the first place you feel the effects when cellular energy dips.In this episode, you'll learn: ☑️ What NAD does for energy, cognition, and resilience ☑️ Why NAD drops so significantly by midlife ☑️ How NMN works as a precursor to support NAD production ☑️ The “bathtub” model: why boosting NAD is not just about adding more, but also slowing the drain ☑️ How inflammation can drive NAD depletion through CD38 ☑️ Why better cellular energy can translate into clearer thinking, better memory, and sharper focusIf you've been feeling like your brain isn't firing the way it used to, your energy is unpredictable, or your focus is slipping, this episode will help you understand what's happening underneath the surface and what you can do to support your brain at the level where performance actually starts: your cells.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What if consciousness doesn't come from the brain… but the brain comes from consciousness?In this extraordinary episode of A Life of Greatness, Sarah Grynberg sits down with filmmaker and creator of The Telepathy Tapes, Ky Dickens, to explore one of the most controversial and mind-expanding conversations of our time.Across years of investigation, Ky uncovered a phenomenon reported by families, teachers and scientists around the world: non-speaking individuals with autism who appear to demonstrate telepathy, precognition and profound spiritual insight.Through spelling-to-communicate methods, these individuals describe a shared telepathic space known as “The Hill,” a place of light, connection and protection where they meet, regardless of physical distance.This conversation explores:• Scientific research into telepathy in both humans and animals• The concept of “The Hill” and collective consciousness• Why many non-speakers speak of angels, God and the afterlife• The idea that consciousness may be fundamental, not produced by the brain• What love, not fear, may actually be the core of human existence• The emotional toll on families and the urgent need for supportThis episode challenges materialism expands the boundaries of science and invites us to reconsider what is possible.If even a fraction of this is true, everything changes.This episode of A Life of Greatness is proudly sponsored by Biohack Wanderlust.

80% of all autoimmune diseases occur in women, and no one can explain why. Cancer cells are always present in your body, but it's only when your T cells go into energy deficit that cancer starts overtaking the system. And here's what almost no one is talking about: the mitochondria in your immune cells are the reason MS, chronic fatigue, neurodegeneration, and even cancer progression happen when they happen. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Anurag Singh, MD, PhD immunologist who spent 20 years studying mitochondria and screened 4000 compounds from pomegranates to discover one molecule that changes cellular aging. We break down immunometabolism, the emerging field linking immune health and metabolism, why your T regulatory cells are the CEOs of your immune system, how mitochondrial dysfunction in immune cells triggers autoimmune conditions, and why rejuvenating mitochondria can get your immune system in check to defeat cancer. We also cover NAD+ (and why NMN and NR supplements don't work the way people think), the creatine sweet spot for muscle quality (500mg-1g, not the 5g everyone's taking), why Parkinson's is linked to paraquat, a mitochondrial toxin used in fertilizers and dry cleaning and how AI is fast-tracking the discovery of next-generation molecules for neurodegeneration. This conversation completely shifted how I think about immune health, brain protection, and what's actually driving the diseases we fear most.

Your gray hair, thinning lashes, brain fog, and that low energy feeling after 30 might all trace back to one thing: falling NAD and stressed mitochondria. This episode breaks down what actually happens inside your cells as NAD declines, and what you can do about it using specific compounds from mushrooms, olive oil, and even chocolate. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Subscribe and save $15 on Wonderfeel by going to: https://getwonderfeel.com/product/wonderfeel-youngr-nmn/?utm_source=Dave&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode2Host Dave Asprey sits down with Baran Dilaver, CEO and co-founder of Wonderfeel Biosciences, to unpack the real science behind NAD, mitochondrial energy, and long-term longevity. Baran is an entrepreneur and inventor who previously led multiple start-ups as CEO and COO, collaborated with leading scientists and medical experts, and developed award-winning products. A UC Berkeley economics graduate and former scholarship athlete, he now focuses on translating cutting-edge bioscience into practical tools that enhance people's lives. They break down how NAD powers mitochondria, why your body strategically allocates cellular energy away from peak cognitive performance as you age, and how stress accelerates that decline. You'll hear the differences between niacinamide, NR, and NMN, the FDA confusion around NMN, and why raising NAD is about cellular repair, resilience, and metabolic function, not just “more energy.” The conversation goes deep on hydroxytyrosol, the powerful olive oil polyphenol that acts as a CD38 inhibitor, and ergothioneine, a mushroom-derived antioxidant with its own receptor in the human body that can accumulate in damaged tissues. Baran shares the origin story that pushed him to research ergothioneine, along with anecdotal observations from long-term users reporting improvements in sleep, focus, energy, thicker hair, reduced gray hair, and even eyelash regrowth. You'll also hear Dave's practical take on ketosis, fasting, supplements, and metabolism, why he prefers NAD precursors over IV NAD for most people, how methyl donors affect NAD IV tolerance, and why Wonderfeelbuilt a creatine chocolate bar sweetened with allulose to stay keto-friendly and diabetic-friendly. This is biohacking grounded in mechanism, from mitochondria and neuroplasticity to anti-aging strategy and smarter supplementation. You'll Learn: • What NAD does in the body and why oral NAD itself is not effective • How niacinamide, NR, and NMN compare as NAD precursors • Why mitochondria control energy allocation, cognition, and resilience • How hydroxytyrosol may support NAD longevity through CD38 inhibition • What ergothioneine is, why it comes from mushrooms, and why the body has a receptor for it • What long-term users commonly report: better sleep, clearer thinking, stronger energy, and cosmetic shifts • Why Dave prefers supplements over NAD IVs in most cases • How allulose differs from other sweeteners and why it matters for metabolism • Why creatine supports brain energy and how heat changes absorption strategy Thank you to our sponsors! • MASA Chips | Go to https://www.masachips.com/DAVEASPREY and use code DAVEASPREY for 25% off your first order • Branch Basics | Get 15% off at https://branchbasics.com/DAVE15 with code DAVE15 • Timeline | Go to timeline.com/Dave for 20% off• OneSkin | Try OneSkin at https://www.oneskin.co/DAVE and use code DAVE for 15% off Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Boosting a Natural Molecule (NAD+) Reverses Alzheimer's Brain Damage in New Study University of Oslo & Ullevaal University Hospital (Norway), February 8, 2026 One of the key drivers of brain dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the protein tau. Under normal conditions, tau helps maintain the internal structure of neurons, supporting the transport systems that allow nerve cells to function properly. In Alzheimer's disease, however, tau becomes abnormally modified and begins to clump together. These aggregates interfere with normal cellular transport, damage neurons, and ultimately contribute to memory impairment. Now, an international team of scientists has identified a previously unrecognized way to protect the brain from this degeneration. Their research shows that increasing levels of the naturally occurring molecule NAD⁺ can counteract neurological damage linked to Alzheimer's disease. Previous research has suggested that boosting NAD⁺ using precursor compounds such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can produce beneficial effects in animal models of AD and in early-stage clinical studies. However, the biological processes responsible for these effects have remained poorly understood,” explains first author Alice Ruixue Ai. The new study reveals that NAD⁺ works through a previously unidentified RNA-splicing pathway. This pathway is regulated by a protein called EVA1C, which plays an essential role in the process of RNA splicing. RNA splicing allows a single gene to produce multiple isoforms of a protein, and one isoform may show distinctive effects on the other isoforms. Its dysregulation is one of the most recently acknowledged risk factors for AD.
In this episode, Prof Chapman explains why there is currently no proven treatment that can reliably increase egg numbers or embryo yield in an IVF cycle, despite bold claims about supplements and therapies. He unpacks the limits of current science, addresses popular compounds like NMN, and emphasizes why lifestyle factors, realistic expectations, expert care, and emotional support matter far more than chasing unproven solutions. The discussion also explores what truly separates an excellent IVF clinic from a technically good one, personalized care, honest guidance, and support through repeated setbacks.

NAD has become one of the most talked-about molecules in longevity medicine—showing up in supplements, IV clinics, lab testing, and bold claims about aging and healthspan. But what does the science actually show?In this episode of The Trip Lab, we take a clear, evidence-based look at NAD and use it as a lens to explore the broader field of longevity medicine. We break down what NAD does in the human body, why it's linked to the hallmarks of aging, and why declining NAD is often a signal of cumulative cellular stress rather than a simple deficiency.We also dive into the realities of NAD testing, the limitations of blood-based biomarkers, and what clinical trials of NR and NMN supplementation have—and have not—demonstrated so far. Along the way, we unpack why longevity research is both exciting and vulnerable to overhype, and why translating aging biology into meaningful human outcomes takes time.This episode is for anyone curious about longevity medicine who wants clarity without hype—and a better framework for thinking about promise versus proof.
Carolina Reis Oliveira, PhD and co-founder of OneSkin (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY), exposes why so many "anti-aging" products quietly inflame your skin, accelerate cellular aging, and wreck your barrier — and what a true longevity-first skincare routine looks like instead. We unpack senescent "zombie cells", exosome facials, NAD+ creams, rating apps like EWG and Yuka, and how to choose products that are both clean and clinically effective without overloading your skin. As a mom and longevity nerd, I also ask her how women can simplify their routines without sacrificing results, especially when we're juggling babies, work, and sleep.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are all well. I've been a long time follower and am trying my best to incorporate all the different ways to stay healthy by following the Rain Barrel protocol. When it comes to detoxing, besides exercise and the 7-21 day detox, I dry brush, rebound and now, would like to start invest in a IF sauna. My question is, even though dry brushing and rebounding is only 5-15 mins, do I still need to do it if I get a sauna? I'm trying to save time anywhere I can. Also, regarding IF sauna, which do you prefer? The Thera360? Or Higher Dose IF Sauna Blanket? I've listened to all your podcasts that review them and they both sound great. But is there a "better" one between the two? Thanks in advance for your answer! Kirsty: Hi Stephen, I recently came across some information suggesting that resveratrol might be estrogenic. I was hoping you could clarify whether that's true. I've been taking it alongside NMN, but now I'm a bit concerned it might not be as beneficial as I initially thought. Thanks so much for all you do, I love and trust your information. Kirsty Tricia: Good morning Dr Cabral - I have a problem that I just can't see to conquer and I know if I don't I will never reach my health goals. Every night at 8pm like clockwork I want to eat. It doesn't matter what time I have dinner or what I eat for dinner. I believe it might be a habit but I can't seem to break it. I will use strong willpower for a few months start to lose weight and feel great and then my willpower gives in and I'm back to a snack at 8pm then my health start to spiral. It makes me sad that I can't win this battle. I listen to you everyday and you have helped me SO much. I just can't seem to break this vicious cycle. Do you have any advice? I go to bed early because I get up at 4:00am so I try to eat dinner at 4:30pm. Thank you! Tricia: Hi it is me again. I also do well with routine and I remember on one of your podcast you mentioned you tend to eat the same foods during the week to keep it simple. Do you mind sharing your meal plan for during the week. I need simple and routine. Also, on Monday do you still do a reset day most weeks? Thank you for taking the time to record these podcasts. Amy: I'm interested in getting the food sensitivity test for my 6 year old daughter. Is it something I can use for her (is there an age restriction)? Is it an at home urine test?

The Silent Killer of the Mind: What You Don't Know About Alzheimer's Could Be Hurting You Already What if the path to Alzheimer's doesn't begin in your 70s—but is already unfolding in your 30s, 40s, or even earlier? In this powerful conversation with Dr. Robert Love, we expose one of the most misunderstood, underestimated health threats of our generation—Alzheimer's disease—and what you can do today to not only prevent it, but potentially reverse its early effects. I've had some of the best minds on this show, but Dr. Love stands out. He's not just brilliant—he's a world-class communicator on a mission to bring hope, tools, and clarity to one of the scariest topics out there: losing your mind. Dr. Love pulls back the curtain on the real causes of Alzheimer's—and it's not just genetics. It's inflammation. It's sugar. It's chronic stress. It's poor sleep. He explains how our modern lifestyle is sabotaging our brain health decades before symptoms appear. And here's what hit me hard: your inflammation levels at age 40 are one of the strongest predictors of your Alzheimer's risk at 70. That's not fear—that's a wake-up call. But the best part? We're not powerless. From simple lifestyle shifts to breakthrough supplements like lion's mane and curcumin, Dr. Love shows us the map to protecting the most vital organ we've got—our brain. We also dive into cutting-edge science that isn't just about prevention—it's about reversal. Dr. Love shares promising new treatments and even clinical results from his medical clinic where Alzheimer's symptoms have improved or stabilized through non-drug protocols. He gives us a first-hand account of a patient who went from disoriented and forgetful to alert, clear, and sharp—all within six months. I'm telling you, this isn't science fiction. This is the new frontier of brain health. Beyond the data and science, what really resonated with me was this: so much of what protects the brain is also what builds a better life—quality sleep, exercise, meaningful learning, low stress, good food, and strong relationships. Dr. Love reminds us that joy, curiosity, and purpose aren't just nice-to-haves—they're biological armor for your brain. And if you're young and thinking this episode doesn't apply to you? Think again. The decisions you make today will echo into the quality of your future decades. Key Takeaways: Alzheimer's starts decades before symptoms appear—your 40s matter Inflammation is one of the biggest risk factors for cognitive decline Sleep, gut health, stress, and sugar all have massive impacts on brain aging Supplements like lion's mane, curcumin, and NMN can support neurogenesis Alzheimer's symptoms can be improved or reversed with lifestyle interventions Your lifestyle is not just shaping your body—it's shaping your brain This one is a must-listen. Share it with someone you love. This information can change lives. — Max Out
