NAD+ The Molecule You're Losing And Why It Changes Everything: #psychiatry #clinicalpearls

In this week's video, Dr. Arwen Podesta explains NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a molecule fundamental to cellular energy production, DNA repair, inflammation, metabolism, cognition, and healthy aging. Dr. Arwen Podesta MD, DFASAM, DFAPA is a triple board certified physician specializing in functional psychiatry, addiction medicine, and forensic psychiatry. 🧠 For clinicians, the discussion explores NAD+ decline with aging and chronic illness, including fatigue, brain fog, impaired concentration, reduced resilience, and cognitive recovery. The science around NAD+ benefits, brain health, longevity, NR, NMN, and different delivery methods is exciting—but the clinical evidence is still developing, and larger randomized trials are needed before NAD+ therapies become standard of care. Dr. Podesta also examines current research involving neurodegenerative disease, depression, chronic inflammation, substance use disorders, and NAD IV therapy.
