This episode is loaded with ways to consider slowing down your cellular aging. My special guest is Dr. Charles Brenner, the world's leading expert on NAD metabolism. Dr. Brenner is known for discovering the Nicotinamide Riboside pathway that leads to this special NAD molecule. Dr. Brenner is also the Alfred E Mann Family Foundation Chair of Diabetes & Cancer Metabolism at City of Hope in Los Angeles, California and Chief Scientific Advisor for ChromaDex, which has developed an ingredient called Tru Niagen on the basis his work on Nicotinamide Riboside.

Dr. Brenner is a valued skeptic on overreaching claims about longevity genes and lifespan extension but an advocate for physical and mental activity and what he calls following mom's advice: eat your vegetables, don't smoke or do drugs, etc.
