Slowing aging , preserving memory, and preserving energy are big topics of concern in medicine and health care. Over the past 10 years research and development has show a special interest in how to modify Sirtuin-1 as a protein for longevity and slowing the disease process. A cofactor of Sirtuin-1 named Nicotinamide Adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is of particular interest. NAD seems to be depleted as we age and thus turning down Sirtuin-1 activity. This means accelerated aging. The study of how to modify NAD is blossoming much thanks to the work of David Sinclair, Phd. And, supplements, dietary modifications , and lifestyle moves are being studies and marketed to modify this pathway. I have been hesitant to jump into this world due the hype; so I brought back an expert in this space Dr. Chris Meletis to help translate the science for practical application. We discuss the different forms of NAD precursors such as Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) and Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) as well discuss things like fasting, ketogenic diets, and exercise.
