So human beings are effectively overeating because we've dissociated going to expend energy to get our food from eating food, right?

And just with a simple plastic charge card, we can acquire thousands of calories for very few dollars and even pay for it next month or much later.

So we have the ability to acquire calories without burning calories

and that's essentially what makes us fat. So there's this whole lifestyle piece

that we want to burn calories and maintain muscle mass and maintain mental activity in order to maintain a you know a healthy

resilient lifestyle. Now where does N NAD come in this?

What's up my friend? I'm health expert Ted Rice and today I have a very special treat for you. I have Dr Charles Brenner who is coming on the show now Charles is a leading figure in metabolism research who discovered the vitamin activity of something

called nicotineamide riboside and the nicotineamide riboside chinese pathway to NAD.

I know that's a lot of word salad right there

in a sciency sounding stuff.

But I initially spoke with Charles over Twitter.

We had a conversation because Charles felt like people were talking

about Resveritrol, about NAD, about nicotineamide riboside, and making unsubstantiated

claims about these supplements and also about longevity in general.

So if you're interested in living longer,

if you want to know what actually has been proven to work

or how long a human being can live.

Some people out there are saying, oh, I want to live until 180 years old.

What does the science show about how long a human can live and how do we keep our health and our function as we live to these older ages? That's what we're going to get into today. Now I'll tell you

NAD has become a hot topic in healthy aging. You may not have heard of it before, but you're going to learn about it today and Charles is here to help you understand NAD and to help shield you from the magical and evidence-free claim.

So we're going to talk about metabolism,

about supplements, and that type of thing.
