Episode notes

NAD is all the rage. Its such a crucial molecule in our body that declines with age. You're probably not sure if you should be taking NAD or a precursor like NMN or NR, and if so, how – do we take supplements, IVs, injectables…? But you may have also heard of the dangerous pathways that some of these molecules take us down that increases the risk for cancer. So is there a better way? Yes!

Molecular biologist Dr. Sandra Kaufmann, who is completely unbiased, clears the confusion and helps us navigate this world of NAD. It gets a little geeky, so break out your pen and paper, and keep the speed on 1x.

We cover:

- NAD basics

- What is NAD vs NAD+ vs NAD- minus

- Different categories of what NAD does

- How NAD controls circadian rhythms

- Is fatigue due to NAD or something else?

- Is it better to optimize our ovaries with NAD or HRT?

- If, how and when to take NAD, NMN, NR and which one is best?

- The best time to take NAD or its precursors
