So NR, nicotinamide riboside, it's been shown to boost NAD.

But I think questions remain about, you know, is the decline in NAD that we see with aging, is that just...

correlated or is there causally a connection where if we titrate, if we somehow boost NAD, are we actually like reducing our biological age?

Yeah.

I did an NRIV and it was the weirdest sensation.

I didn't get the, cause I think in the past I'd done an NAD infusion.

And yeah, you get that like whole, that nausea and whatever.

But NR, no, I felt great with the exception of like your face hurts.

What was that about?

It's so odd.

It was so, I mean, it was totally transient.

It went away, but yeah, that's super interesting.

It's amazing.

Well, how do you as a clinician triage your approach to these exogenous molecules?

Like, you know, we don't all have unlimited money to spend.

We don't all have unlimited time.

Not all of us have access to facilities like Next Health.

You know, we don't all live in Los Angeles.

So where do you then begin if you want to start experimenting with these other kinds of molecules?
