The Role of NAD+ in Aging, Chronic Disease, and Epigenetics with Dr. Nichola Conlon

The Role of NAD+ in Aging, Chronic Disease, and Epigenetics with Dr. Nichola Conlon

Author: Dr. Kara Fitzgerald April 3, 2023 Duration: 1:04:11
One fascinating and incredibly important molecule to pay attention to in the field of healthy longevity is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). It’s literally in every cell and contributes to over 300 different reactions in the body as a coenzyme substrate. Dr. Nichola Conlon, PhD, is an expert on NAD+ and launched Nuchido Laboratories (who sponsors this episode) to rigorously test and develop a NAD+ booster supplement packed with epinutrients. She joins me in this ridiculously interesting conversation where she explains role of NAD+ as a signaling molecule, its relationship with longevity proteins sirtuins, its impact on multiple hallmarks of aging, its relationship to the salvage pathway, NNMT and CD38. And that just touches the surface of all we discuss in today’s talk! I’m thrilled to have her with me and hope you enjoy listening. ~DrKF
