Is NAD The Fountain Of Youth?

Today’s podcast guest, Dr. Sandra Kaufmann, is considered a pioneer in true longevity medicine and is an NAD expert. She has spent the last twenty years learning how Not To Age.

She has improved her skin, vision, muscle recovery, and immune system. Interestingly, she shared that even though her physician friends would tease her about her hacks, many would later, in secret, ask for her help with anti-aging.

What is NAD?

NAD stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. It’s a natural molecule found in every cell in your body and is essential for staying alive and healthy.

Think of NAD as a helper molecule that gives your cells the energy they need to work properly.

What does NAD do?

NAD helps with:

Turning food into energy
Repairing damaged cells and DNA
Brain function and memory
Healthy aging
Muscle function
Metabolism

Without enough NAD, your cells can’t produce energy efficiently.

Why do people talk about NAD and aging?

NAD levels naturally decline with age, particularly after age 40. Lower NAD levels may be linked to:

Fatigue
Poor or disrupted sleep
Slower metabolism
Brain fog

Researchers are studying whether boosting NAD might support healthier aging.

How can NAD levels be increased?

Supplements

Common NAD-related supplements include:

NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)
NR (Nicotinamide Riboside)
Vitamin B3 forms like niacin

These are “building blocks” your body may use to make more NAD.

NAD 101

NAD is vital for energy and cell repair, but levels decrease with age, leading to increased interest in supplements and IV therapy.

Research is ongoing, and while some people report benefits, it’s not for everyone. For many healthy adults, NAD-related supplements appear reasonably safe when used appropriately, but you should always discuss with your healthcare provider if you:

Take medications
Have liver disease, cancer, diabetes, or kidney problems
Are pregnant or breastfeeding

Very high doses of certain vitamin B3 products can cause side effects.

If you want to educate yourself about anti-aging, today’s episode is not to be missed!

Vitali

I knew little about copper peptides until I heard Vitali founder Debbi Barber on a podcast. She was talking about the power of copper peptides to help reduce the appearance of scars.

Since I have plenty of scars, I thought I’d give it a try.

I used the GHK-Cu Serum on my scars and my face. Within days, the skin on my face became so much softer! And after a few months of use, my skin felt thicker and smoother.

Bonus that my mastectomy scars also started to lighten!
