In this episode, Ben Azadi sits down with a Harvard-trained physician to unpack one of the most important and overlooked molecules in the human body: NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide). NAD controls your energy, metabolism, brain function, muscle strength, and immune health — and it starts declining as early as age 20. By your 50s, you've already lost half of it. The result? Afternoon energy crashes, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, poor sleep, and slower recovery. But here's the truth: this isn't just aging. It's an energy crisis happening inside your cells. Ben breaks down the hidden enzyme CD38 — which actively destroys NAD and increases with age — and explains how inflammation, leaky gut, and poor food choices are quietly accelerating the process. He also reveals why ketosis is a powerful tool for NAD preservation, how intermittent fasting helps restore cellular energy, and why single-ingredient whole foods are the foundation of any real anti-aging strategy. You'll walk away with three simple moves to spare, create, and protect your NAD levels — and understand why fixing your energy at the cellular level is the key to looking and feeling years younger.
