    Quotes

    “The overall effects of the NAD is to help the mitochondria. If they’re really in a depleted state, they might actually feel a little more tired; most people feel energized, but it’s hard to know how someone will respond to their first NAD IV.” [20:39]

    “There’s literally a peptide for most everything. There’s a peptide for everything! But they work through cellular signaling.” [28:26]

    “For the average person, what we want to do is refine their body’s ability to make more peptides themselves.” [32:57]
