NAD is everywhere right now: supplements, injections, podcast topics, longevity clinics. And I’ll be honest, when something gets this trendy, I get skeptical. But NAD is different. This is actually something I’ve been watching closely for nearly 25 years, and the science has finally caught up.

Here’s what most people don’t realize: the exhaustion, the brain fog, the slower recovery you’ve been chalking up to “just getting older”? That’s often your NAD levels in freefall, and it’s happening earlier than you think.

On this episode, I’m breaking down what NAD actually does inside your cells, why most supplements on the market are quietly failing you, and what I looked for when I finally designed my own formula — Gundry MD Elevate NAD+. I spent years waiting to make one until I could develop an NAD supplement that delivered you real results. 

Today, I’ll show you exactly what that means.

On this episode, you’ll learn:  

• What the “second baseman” is, and why it is the most important player in your cellular health (3:09)
• All about the French Paradox and its connection to NAD research (4:32)
• What fasting and strength training have in common that no one talks about (6:15)
• The dirty secret about most NMN supplements on the market (7:35)
• 3 reasons your NAD gets depleted (and what a well-designed formula like Gundry MD Elevate NAD+ actually does about it) (15:25)
• The checklist I use to evaluate any NAD supplement (17:41)
• What age should you actually start thinking about NAD support (12:21)
• What real NAD support looks like in practice (hear my personal story) (10:57)
