Our food supply is dramatically less nutrient rich than it has ever been, and it’s taking a toll on our health. A shocking 99 percent of Americans are nutrient deficient, including over 90 percent who are deficient in omega 3 fats and 50 percent who are deficient in magnesium.

In this episode of my Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about the top supplements for longevity, especially NAD, which inhibits inflammation, increases metabolism, and increases insulin sensitivity. We also discuss how to critically evaluate supplement research and much more.
