Your NAD is being drained by two hidden enzymes, your gut may be the starting point of every aging process in your body, and creatine does something to your mitochondria that has nothing to do with muscle. This episode rewrites what you thought you knew about longevity, anti-aging biology, and how your body actually produces and delivers energy at the cellular level.
Host Dave Asprey sits down with Professor Andrew Salzman, MD / Chief Medical Officer at Wonderfeel, a physician, inventor, and biomedical entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience in drug discovery and development. An alumnus of Harvard Medical School, Yale University, and Columbia University, Dr. Salzman has authored more than 170 scientific publications and holds 50 patents.
He invented the original clinical-stage PARP-1 inhibitor, leading to the world’s first clinical treatment for raising NAD levels and fighting cancers caused by the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Genentech licensed his breakthrough technology for $600 million. His research into gastrointestinal microbiota, autoimmune disease, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial ATP production now forms the foundation of how millions of patients get treated worldwide.
At the 23 minute mark the professor goes into a great explanation of the gut lining and how key it is to maintaining health.
One gem, not exercising for 20-30 minutes after eating allows for better digestion. Go for your walk after that.
