Episode notes
NAD Is Central To Metabolic Resilience
- NAD is a central regulator of metabolism required for energy, DNA repair, and resilience to stress.
- Boosting NAD maintains cellular resiliency and may slow functional decline during aging.
Avoid NAD-Depleting Stresses
- Avoid chronic stresses that deplete NAD such as excessive alcohol and overnutrition to preserve NAD pools.
- If you expect metabolic stress, consider NR supplementation to support liver NAD and protect tissues.
Electrons, NAD, And Oxidative Defense
- NAD and NADPH pairs shuttle electrons; failures in electron transfer create reactive oxygen species needing NADPH to detoxify.
- Proper NAD(P) metabolism underlies energy, biosynthesis, and antioxidant defenses across tissues.
