Why NAD Levels Decline with Age

Did you know that it is believed that we were not evolutionarily programmed to age? That our bodies were made to reproduce and then essentially be depleted of the nutrients needed to stay youthful and feeling our best? Neurohacker is working to help bring new science to daily supplements, providing us with options to stimulate those depleted nutrients and molecules to decrease the speed of aging. 

In this episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast, Amitay, CEO of Young Goose, sits down with Dr. Greg Kelly to discuss Neurohackers new NAD boosting stack, and how the powerhouse molecule of NAD fuels our cells, safeguards our DNA, and is synonymous with aging. 

Listen in and we examine the nuances of NAD’s role in energy production and DNA repair, revealing the intricate network of metabolites and precursors that keep our bodies’ engines running. Learn strategies for personal health and daily rituals that can enhance NAD levels and your overall well-being.
