In this episode, Dr Thomas Hemingway will explain the role of NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and how NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell in your body and is crucial to your production of cellular ENERGY as well as important in DNA repair and LONGEVITY.

He will explain in simple terms the important physiologic role of NAD+ and how WE can MAXIMIZE its production and use in our body to have MORE ENERGY as well as improved LONGEVITY with its role with the SIRTUINS.

NAD+ can be increased through healthy FOODS such as natural milk, eggs, proteins from fish, red meat and organs as well well sourced chicken, in addition from green vegetables such as asparagus, lentils, lima beans and mushrooms such as the Crimini mushroom as well as fermented foods such as kimchi and sauerkraut and even in natural whole grains (unblemished by bleach and industrialized processing) and yeast (such as whole grain natural bread from a starter yeast).

Besides OPTIMIZING our INTAKE in our FOOD, we can INCREASE NAD by:

-Moderate regular Exercise
-Adequate Sleep and Circadian Balance (see previous podcast on circadian rhythm)
-Mindful Eating or Intermittent Fasting (Time restricted eating)
-minimizing alcohol use as NAD can get used up in the metabolic breakdown of alcohol in the body.
-moderate, NOT excessive exposure to the sun
-minimizing inflammatory foods such as processed foods or seed oils and refined sugars as NAD is used to "cleanup" after this dirty metabolism of nonnatural foods and gets depleted in the metabolism of processed foods
-may also increase NAD through supplementation

Why NOT have the ENERGY of a 3 year old, you CAN do this through OPTIMIZING your NAD! HAVE A LISTEN!!!
