Episode description

In this conversation, Buck and Dr. Nicola Conlon delve into the significance of NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) in aging and longevity. Dr. Conlon explains the role of NAD in cellular energy production, its decline with age, and the consequences of this decline on cellular repair and overall health. They discuss the importance of NAD in activating sirtuins, which are crucial for longevity, and explore the limitations of direct NAD infusions. The conversation concludes with insights into NAD precursors like NMN and NR, which can help increase NAD levels in the body.
