0:00.0	Welcome to the Mind Buddy Green podcast. I'm Jason Wachib, founder and co-CEO of My Buddy Green, and your host.
0:07.1	This podcast was made in partnership with WonderFiel. In the longevity space, we're constantly asking these
0:12.3	questions. What really drives aging at the cellular level? What can we do to slow that aging process down?
0:18.0	Or halt it completely? How can we feel vibrant again, no matter our age?
0:21.8	Well, researchers are calling NAD the longevity molecule because of its role in DNA repair,
0:27.2	energy production, immunity, and cognition. Unfortunately, NAD levels decline as we age. The solution,
0:33.1	daily NMN supplementation, which helps boost NAD levels. That's where Wonderfeel younger NMN comes in.
0:40.0	Developed by Dr. Andrew Salzman, this patented formula delivers 900 milligrams of NMN, along with
0:45.4	a blend of powerful antioxidants like risveratrol, ergo-thianinine, and hydroxytyrosol,
0:51.3	specifically chosen to slow NAD breakdown and fight oxidative stress.
0:55.5	If you've been curious about effective ways to age smarter, this is a supplement to look into.

1:20.6	Today's guest, Dr. Andrew Salzman, is one of the leading minds turning that possibility into a reality.
1:25.6	A physician-inventor and biomedical entrepreneur, Dr. Salzman,
1:28.8	has spent for than 30 years on the front lines of drug discovery and development. With degrees from
1:33.2	Harvard, Yale, and Columbia, over 170 published papers, and more than 60 patents to his name,
1:39.1	he's one of the most accomplished figures in the field of cellular therapy and longevity science.
1:44.1	Now as chief medical
