In today's episode, we are diving into NAD+ and exploring how it is a critical component for breaking down fuel, such as glucose, and ultimately converting that fuel to ATP. We will explore various factors that deplete NAD+ or decrease the NAD+/NADH ratio as well as 6 proven strategies to increase NAD+ within the body. Lastly, we wrap up the episode with a conversation pertaining to the use of NAD+ therapy for CIRS/Biotoxin illness, specifically Mold Illness. Thanks so much for tuning it!
