| 0:00.0 | Howdy folks! Today is a special episode. Rather than giving you an interview, in this episode, |
| 0:06.0 | I'd like to take a shot at instead giving you guys the full lay of the land on a topic we've |
| 0:11.0 | continually touched on across multiple episodes, which is all things NAD. We've brushed up against |
| 0:17.4 | this topic in many interviews, the most obvious of which being the conversation I had with Dr. |
| 0:22.5 | Davidson Claire. But also others like a prior episode with Dr. Eric Verden, both great episodes |
| 0:29.6 | which you should definitely listen to. Those episodes were, however, conversations, which means |
| 0:34.8 | that in each case, while certainly educational, they weren't necessarily structured to strictly |
| 0:40.3 | be a primer. Today's episode is different. Instead, my goal in this one is to structure it in a way |
| 0:46.7 | as to give you an overview that can lay the framework towards your understanding, the relevance, |
| 0:51.7 | the questions that still need to be answered by the field, and also just my sort of concluding |
| 0:56.6 | thoughts when it's all said and done. Not only on NAD, but also on the so-called NAD boosters, |
| 1:03.5 | which are the NAD precursors, nicotinamide riboside, and nicotinamide mononucleotide. Before we kick |
| 1:09.6 | this thing off, a quick mention about this episode. It's actually been out for almost an entire week. |
| 1:14.9 | Surprised? You shouldn't be. This is one of the new elements of the engine that keeps found my |
| 1:19.8 | fitness not only running, but thriving, by offering a few solid concrete perks for supporting |
| 1:25.7 | members. I am able to keep this podcast free, grow my team, and actually make free found my fitness |
| 1:32.1 | better than ever before. Premium members now get a pretty sweet list of benefits, including |
| 1:36.9 | a members-only early access feed that also gives periodic exclusive content. Free updates on |
| 1:42.5 | genetic reports when they come out. Twice per month, a member's only email summary of some of the |
| 1:47.4 | most interesting research that jumped out at me. This next one is a big one for audio-only listeners, |
| 1:52.6 | a PowerPoint presentation with all the videos on screen graphics. Get the benefits of the video |
| 1:58.3 | without the video. Take my last podcast with Dr. Davidson Claire, for example, 150 slides. |
