info_outlineMy guest this week is Craig Koniver, MD
In this episode, Craig Koniver, MD, and I discuss mental health, COVID, and of course his specialty NAD+. NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It is involved in hundreds of cellular processes. NAD+ can be used to slow aging, enhance energy levels, minimize drug withdrawal, and more. It improves our resistance to stress, improves energy metabolism, protects our genome, is neuroprotective, and improves insulin sensitivity.
