why we feel old (after 35)

{NAME}, Feeling old is almost worse than looking old. In fact, I have a theory that it is the FEELING old that makes us LOOK old. You start moving slower, you are more fear-averse, and next thing you know, you’re looking old too. There’s no "one morning" you wake up looking or feeling older. It’s more like you see a photo of yourself from a decade ago and realize, "Damn. Who is that young guy?" Same thing with feeling older. You’re not going to wake up one day and feel less energized and physically prime than the day before. It happens slowly over time. A lot of what is responsible for this "slowing" feeling is reduced levels of NAD. You’ve heard me talk about it before. It is the essence of energy in our body. It is what allows us to create energy from our food by essentially carrying electrons. Your NAD+ levels are every bit as crucial as your testosterone levels when it comes to aging well and how old you feel. Here’s just a short list of things NAD+ helps with in the human body: - Creating cellular energy.* - Maintaining healthy DNA.* - Detecting and using nutrients efficiently.* - Regulating how cells respond to stress.* - Protecting your cellular health.* And from age 30 onward, the human body’s average NAD+ levels start to plummet: What You Can (And Should) Do About It: Supplementing NAD+ directly has bioavailability issues, because it’s a particularly large molecule that can struggle to cross cell membranes to enter cells where needed. A much better approach is to supplement with ingredients that are particularly easy for your body to readily convert into NAD+, thereby naturally boosting your own NAD+ levels.* These ingredients that your body easily converts to NAD+ are called NAD+ precursors. 3 of the most research-backed NAD+ precursors known to science are: - Niacin - Niacinamide - And NIAGEN® (also known as NR) The hard part is that your body may produce NAD+ most easily with one precursor, while someone else’s body may produce NAD+ most easily with another precursor.  So taking all three NAD+ precursors listed above, along with additional ingredients shown to support the NAD+ production process, is my recommended approach to help stop declining NAD+ levels in its tracks. In fact, a comprehensive approach like this can even increase your NAD+ levels by up to 85% according to a preliminary clinical study.*†That preliminary clinical study ([linked here]( is on a supplement formula called [Qualia NAD+.]( (I’ve talked about some of Qualia’s other products before as well). This is the only formula I know of that contains all three NAD+ precursors I listed earlier, and 11 other crucial compounds that facilitate different aspects of NAD+ production. It is definitely worth a shot if you are over the age of 30. Honeslty, there is only positive upside. This is a temporary link for NAD+ from Qualia and it [cuts the price by up to 50%]( and the Neurohacker team is also giving our community code TDNAD at checkout to get an additional 15% off on top of that. I want to be real, though. Not everyone likes to take supplements. Personally, I rotate my supplements because I want to do as much naturally as possible. So don’t feel that this is the only option (although it is very rooted in science and probably the easiest). Some other ways that you can increase NAD production in the body. - Reducing Carbohydrate intake (ketogenic approach) - Training in a glycogen depleted state (activates AMPK which can increase NAD production) - Fasting (this has been talked about quite a bit on my channel as you’re essentially increasing the available NAD to help repair other systems in the body. - Aerobic HIIT training. This is great because it forces the utilization of NADH, which therefore increases NAD. Try doing 1:1 ratio HIIT for shorter stents like 30 seconds on, then 30 seconds jog (NOT full rest) I also recommend what is called the Norwegian 4x4 method. Highly effective form of HIIT from a longevity perspective. This looks like this: 4 Mins max intensity you can handle, 3 mins recovery repeated 4X. Yes, it’s brutal. But it works. Additionally, sitting in a sauna. The heat shock proteins have powerful effects on NAD liberation. I would also recommend sitting in a hot bath or a hot tub too. Water immersion gets you TOASTY and might even be better than an actual Sauna… kinda crazy, right? The world of "NOT feeling old anymore" research is just starting to get interesting (and pragmatic), I believe we are going to find out a lot of cool things here in the very near future. In the interim, calorie restrict occasionally, train hard occasionally, workout easily often, rest hard, sleep well, take NAD precursors when you can, and drink green tea… oh and hot baths.
