Episode # 76: How Does NAD Become The Catalyst To Healing Most Health Issues?
My guest this week is Craig Koniver, MD
In this episode, Craig Koniver, MD, and I discuss mental health, COVID, and of course his specialty NAD+. NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It is involved in hundreds of cellular processes. NAD+ can be used to slow aging, enhance energy levels, minimize drug withdrawal, and more. It improves our resistance to stress, improves energy metabolism, protects our genome, is neuroprotective, and improves insulin sensitivity.

Thank you to drinkHRW.com To get the most out of any therapy it is crucial to address the foundations of health. Molecular Hydrogen addresses these foundations through its ability to help to manage reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammation and improve metabolic balance. I drink molecular hydrogen water every morning before anything else and have my clients do the same. Anecdotally we have seen improvements in blood sugar control, pain from arthritis and even cognitive function in a Parkinson’s patient. Ongoing research is demonstrating the many ways that molecular hydrogen can support human health.
