In this episode of the Wellness That Fits Podcast, we break down the science behind NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), one of the most talked-about molecules in the wellness and anti-aging space.

👉 Take the Why Am I So Tired? Brain & Energy Assessment

You’ve likely seen NAD IV therapy, supplements like NMN and NR, and bold claims about increased energy, brain function, and longevity. But what does the research actually say?

I simplify the science and explain:

• What NAD+ is and why it’s essential for cellular energy (ATP production), brain function, and DNA repair
• Why NAD levels decline with age, stress, inflammation, and poor lifestyle habits
• The difference between NAD vs. its precursors (NMN, NR, NAM, and niacin)
• What human research shows about NAD supplements and metabolic health
• Why NAD IV therapy may not be as effective as marketed
• The critical role of nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management in supporting NAD naturally

You’ll also learn when NAD supplements might help (like low energy despite healthy habits) and when they’re simply a band-aid for deeper issues like burnout, poor sleep, or chronic stress.

If you’re struggling with brain fog, fatigue, or low energy, this episode helps you cut through the noise and focus on what actually works.
