We talk about what NAD actually is, why it declines as we age, and how that impacts everything from energy and cognition to skin health and sleep. Baran explains the difference between healthspan and longevity, how to spot low-quality or fake NAD supplements, and why going back to nature - not pharmaceuticals - is key for long-term health. We also cover diet, exercise, sleep, Blue Zones, and simple lifestyle shifts that can help you age better, not just longer. Topics Discussed: → What is NAD and why does it decline as we age? → How do NAD supplements support longevity and healthspan? → What’s the difference between healthspan and longevity? → How can you avoid fake NAD products? → Can boosting NAD levels improve energy, cognition, and skin as you age?
