Summary

285: In this episode, I’m joined by Baran Dilaver, cofounder of Wonderfeel Biosciences, to break down one of the most important molecules for aging and longevity: NAD. We talk about what NAD actually is, why it declines as we age, and how that impacts everything from energy and cognition to skin health and sleep. Baran explains the difference between healthspan and longevity, how to spot low-quality or fake NAD supplements, and why going back to nature - not pharmaceuticals - is key for long-term health. We also cover diet, exercise, sleep, Blue Zones, and simple lifestyle shifts that can help you age better, not just longer. Topics Discussed: → What is NAD and why does it decline as we age? → How do NAD supplements support longevity and healthspan? → What’s the difference between healthspan and longevity? → How can you avoid fake NAD products? → Can boosting NAD levels improve energy, cognition, and skin as you age?

0:00.0	NAD is so important, it's so centered in biology, that without it, you'll be dead in 10 seconds.
0:05.5	Wow.
0:06.1	As you start getting older, the NED production starts declining.
0:09.9	That would be like one year the apple orchards might not give as many apples.
0:14.6	And they will be like your organs.
0:16.2	Like maybe your liver is not processed and alcohol that well, so you cannot recover from having, you know,
0:21.2	those two glasses of wine. If boosting NAD turns back the clock in your cells, will people
0:26.4	literally see fewer wrinkles on their skin? Some people say that. The aging spots, older people
0:32.4	have age spots. Yeah. They do report that their age spots are disappearing. All the studies
0:37.1	show that exercise is magical.
0:39.6	It doesn't have to be crazy.
0:41.1	You don't have to be Iron Man, but it's moving around even.
0:44.5	It's a big difference.
0:47.6	Welcome back to the Real Foodology podcast today.
0:49.9	I'm joined by Bron DeLauver, the entrepreneur and innovator behind WonderFiel, a health span-focused
0:55.3	bioscience company advancing the science of healthy aging.
0:58.7	We dive into the critical role of NAD, the molecule that fuels our cellular energy and how its
1:03.3	natural decline with age shapes the difference between simply living longer and expanding
1:08.0	our health span.
1:09.3	Baran breaks down why NAD precursors like NMN matter, how WonderFiel combines NMN with powerful
1:15.9	antioxidants to support DNA repair and cellular resilience and what the research is
1:20.3	showing when it comes to energy, cognition, skin health, inflammation, and more.
