Summary

In this podcast, I’m going to tell you how to slow down aging so you can look younger and live longer. The mitochondria are the body's energy factory. The health and function of your mitochondria directly correlate to aging and longevity.


The Krebs cycle is a process in your body that starts with food and ends with energy. It requires nutrients or cofactors to work properly. NAD is a vital nutrient involved in extracting energy from food to make ATP, and it’s critical for longevity and anti-aging.


NAD prevents muscle loss, especially in cancer patients, and protects against radiation. As we age, NAD decreases. Researchers have found that CD38 depletes NAD, and mice with less CD38 tend to live longer.


Here are 5 compounds that boost NAD to help slow aging:


1. Apigenin

Parsley is the best source, but it’s also found in thyme, oregano, basil, and celery.


2. Anthoxanthin

Consume blueberries and other blue, purple, or red foods such as elderberry, concord grapes, and purple potato.


3. Curcumin

This is found in turmeric.


4. Quercetin

The best source is onion, and the most is found in the outer part. You can also find quercetin in apple skin.


5. Methylene blue

This was the first medical drug ever invented. It seems to be a good inhibitor of CD38, which can help boost NAD.

Today I'm going to talk about how to slow down the aging process.

0:04.4

If you want to look younger, live longer, and have fewer diseases,

0:08.6

then this video is for you.

0:10.3

Now, I know I don't look 75 years old, okay? And it's probably because I'm not 75 years old,

0:15.9

then I'm 59. But what I'm going to show you is based on a huge deep dive into this longevity topic.

0:22.4

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of the mitochondria before, but

0:25.2

the mitochondria is the energy factory. And so you're going to be as healthy or live as long as

0:30.5

your mitochondria is functioning in in good shape.

0:35.0

So without getting into too much biochemistry, if you've taken a biology class, you may remember

0:39.6

there's something called the Krebs cycle.

0:42.4

And the Krebs Cycle is basically a little circle.

0:46.2

It's like an assembly line.

0:47.9

And there's various steps in different chemicals

0:50.6

involved in this little assembly line and it starts with food that

0:54.2

enters this crab cycle and it ends with energy and I think the biggest thing that

0:58.9

was missing when I study the crab cycle was something called cofactors. This Kreip cycle requires nutrients to go from A to B to C.

1:09.1

Because if you're missing a certain nutrient, instead it becomes bottlenecked and things back up and you're not

1:15.5

going to be able to make the energy. And so by this additional understanding of

1:19.7

nutrients related to the crept cycle, we can quickly see that in order to turn glucose or

1:26.2

fat into energy, we need nutrients.

1:30.8

And the reason I'm even bringing this up is that I'm leading up to this one molecule.

1:35.0

It's called NAD. And NAD is involved in extracting energy from food.
