Is NAD a Healthy Weight-Loss Alternative to Ozempic?

Written by Jinfiniti Email on . Posted in Exercise and Fitness, Guest Blog, Learn, NAD & NAD Precursors, Nutrition & Food.

NAD+ overcomes insulin resistance without disastrous side effects.

Social media is burning up with images of celebrities who’ve dropped significant tonnage, but are mute about their methods.

This is an odd phenomenon, given the characteristic eagerness of this class to publicly pledge their allegiance to the newest fad, no matter how bizarre that craze might seem to the average person on the street. Yet, at each exhibition of luminary lipid loss, the same word is uttered in hushed whispers: Ozempic.

And we have to wonder, why the muted tones? If Ozempic is a miracle weight-loss drug, shouldn’t we be shouting about it from the rooftops? Turns out there are ample reasons to be wary, and even more reasons to choose a particular safe and effective alternative: the natural coenzyme NAD.

Step 1: Design a catchy ad campaign  

Want to charge $1,200 a month for an injection whose benefits are decidedly short-term, and which puts patients at risk for numerous painful, debilitating side-effects, as well as a dispiriting rebound of the conditions they sought to alleviate in the first place? Then you must, must, must pick a catchy, long-forgotten pop song from the 1970s, whose original lyrics were all about the wondrous state of being in love.

Now you’ve got “Oh-oh-oh-Ozempic!” subliminally telling viewers of ubiquitous pharma commercials that “It’s magic.” Fossils of my era will remember the Scottish band Pilot cautioning listeners, “Never believe it’s not so!” But should we believe the advertising hype around Ozempic? Many sources, including those in the health and fitness sphere outside of Big Pharma, are telling us “No.”  

What is Ozempic and why should I be skeptical?

According to the website Health.com, Ozempic a semaglutide, a “synthetic version of a human hormone called glucagon-like peptide one, or GLP-1.” Humans secrete GLP-1 when food reaches our gut.

It tells our brain that we’re full and tells our pancreas to get off the schneid and produce some insulin, the hormone that signals our cells to open wide and receive blood glucose.

When all works well, GLP-1 ensures that we don’t gorge ourselves and that the vacuoles of our cells widen, taking in glucose to convert to energy. This latter process also lowers our blood glucose levels, sparing us the consequences of diabetically high blood sugar.

People with type II diabetes either don’t produce enough insulin or suffer from extreme insulin resistance, so that while their insulin’s a knockin’, their vacuoles are sayin’ “Don’t come in.” (This is a problem with cell-signaling, one of the many cellular functions that depend heavily on the co-enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD.)

Ozempic is designed to increase insulin production for type II diabetics who have had trouble getting their blood sugar under control with other methods. Ozempic is delivered via twice-monthly injections, at a cost of about $1,200 per month. 

Health.com tells us, “After injection, semaglutide increases insulin production and lowers blood sugar. This causes the stomach to empty more slowly, reduces appetite, and makes people feel full.” So, it should come as no surprise that Ozempic has delivered another sought-after benefit: weight loss.

Is the bonus benefit just a dangerous illusion?

The Ozempic bonus has led overweight people, especially celebrities who can afford the high price tag, to request the drug for weight loss, a use for which the FDA has not approved it.

Yet, doctors seem willing to prescribe Ozempic for off-label use, a practice that is often controversial if not illegal. In fairness to these doctors, we should note that another semaglutide prescription, Wegovy, has FDA approval as a weight-loss drug. But should either of these synthetic hormone drugs be used for this purpose?

This lady in a lab coat says no. And we must listen because she is appropriately dressed. (Also note that she’s an MD, not an actress.)

Thank you, Dr. Annette Bosworth.

A litany of side-effects, some of which are deadly

If you’ve seen an O-O-O-Ozempic commercial, you’ve heard the recitation of side effects, which range from unpleasant to deadly. The mild variety includes:

  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness or vertigo
  • Discomfort and/or skin discoloration around the injection site
  • Increased heart rate
  • Changes in perception of taste
  • Digestive problems, such as belly pain, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, burping, nausea, and vomiting

Ozempic patients have also started reporting hair loss.

 The more serious side effects include:

  • Kidney problems, such as kidney failure
  • Low blood sugar
  • Pancreatitis
  • Gallbladder disease, such as cholecystitis or gallstones
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Allergic reactions

All of these are potentially fatal.

After reading these lists, the reasonable reader might wonder, “At what point do the risks outweigh the possible benefits?” For people who cannot control their diabetes, the disease is eventually fatal.

Other messy consequences include blindness and amputation of extremities. So, a roll of the dice with Ozempic might be in order.

Alternatives to a potentially deadly roll of the dice?

However, most people with type II diabetes can control their sugar through dietary and lifestyle modification. These changes are generally not easy, which is why many so people are open to taking a magic shot, courtesy of our consistently trustworthy friends at Big Pharma.

This mindset, which seems to be the basis for Ozempic’s marketing strategy, has really rankled celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels, who has voiced her concerns about Ozempic to Megyn Kelly (video below) and Bill Maher.

As Ms. Michaels explain, Ozempic treatment is necessarily short. And for many patients, the benefits sunset early, as their weight loss plateaus and the pounds rebound. Unfortunately, the side-effects seem to linger well beyond patients’ use of the drug.

Another reason for concern is the psychological effect Ozempic seems to have on type II diabetics, who should maintain a strict exercise regimen. According to a report from MSN, Ozempic seems to discourage overweight people from working out.

Is NAD+ optimization a better way to manage insulin resistance?

Dr. Jin-Xiong She is a prominent microbiologist who has spent a significant portion of his career studying the relationship between cellular functions and age-related/metabolic diseases, including type II diabetes.

The precursor to type II diabetes is the condition we call insulin resistance, where the cells do not respond to the insulin’s signal.

This forces the pancreas to produce more insulin, eventually exhausting itself. When the body no longer produces its own insulin, a patient must take insulin orally or via injection. For people in a prediabetic state, insulin resistance causes stubborn weight gain, along with ancillary health problems.

Dr. She has studied the role of NAD in cellular functions, and in this short video, he explains four key benefits of NAD as they pertain to normal insulin sensitivity.

Unfortunately, people lose NAD due to age, stress, and lifestyle choices, such as a poor diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, and a sedentary lifestyle.

This can turn insulin sensitivity into insulin resistance. The good news is that replenishing lost NAD can return the system to healthy homeostasis. Replacing lost NAD is tricky, but Dr. She has developed a highly effective supplement he calls  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster.

NAD optimization: a safe, natural path to better health

One of the great benefits of  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster is the increased energy one feels after just a few days of using the product. This can empower an overweight person with insulin resistance or type II diabetes to hit the gym and get the natural health benefits of exercise.

Many people have been able to reverse type II diabetes and return to good health through dietary and lifestyle modifications. Supplementing to achieve NAD optimization makes the process easier, so more patients should be able to improve their health for the long term.

Importantly, NAD is a natural compound, not a synthetic, so there’s no list of horrendous side effects. I’ve written in this column about the numerous health benefits I’ve experienced with  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster. It’s precisely because of those health benefits that I asked Dr. She to make me an affiliate marketer for his company Jinfiniti Precision Medicine.

If you are struggling with insulin resistance or type II diabetes, I urge you to try this amazing product. Ask your doctor which is more likely to help you: the all-natural compound that’s an essential cofactor for virtually every cellular function, or the synthetic hormone with the catchy jingle, a monthly cost equal to your mortgage, and a list of side effects the length of the King James Bible.

O-O-O-I think I know what they’ll say.

Great news: Get started with NAD for only $28!

Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster has never been more cost-effective than now, because Dr. She is offering an introductory, one-month supply for only $28 dollars with a monthly subscription. That’s a savings of 76 percent, and you can cancel the subscription any time, if you’re not thrilled with the results. Just follow this link: Start for $28!

Did NAD+ Cure My Allergies?

Written by Jinfiniti Email on . Posted in Allergies, Guest Blog, Learn, NAD & NAD Precursors.

No more pills and no more sneezes!

At this time last year, I was taking two, sometimes three, all-day Loratadine pills a day, but still sneezing my head off, scratching my itchy eyes out, and gargling warm tea in a futile attempt to clear my throat of phlegm. It’s now been eight days since my last pill, and I am virtually symptom free. The only difference I can point to is … three plus months ago, I began supplementing NAD+.

(For the uninitiated, NAD+ is a naturally occurring compound our cells need to perform virtually every task of being a cell, including energy production, respiration, and reproduction.

When NAD+ is depleted, as happens when we age, experience trauma or persistent stress, or make unhealthy lifestyle choices, our cells cannot perform properly, and we suffer the consequences, including premature aging and metabolic illnesses. Restoring NAD+ to optimum levels can arrest this decline and restore our vitality. 

I’ve written about my NAD+ experience previously on this blog, but the disappearance of my allergic symptoms is a new milestone.)

“Oh,” but you’ll say, “isn’t this the holy season of Lent? And haven’t you taken the pledge for the duration? So, maybe it’s the fact that you’ve eliminated alcohol for more than a week?”

Perhaps, O Prophet of Prohibition, but I’ve gone dry for extended periods in the past, (voluntarily, not court-ordered) and I’ve never observed any change in the horrendous allergies that oppress me 12 months out of the year. This is clearly different.

Where did these allergies come from anyway?

I was not born with allergies. And as a precocious (also obnoxious) youngster, I neither understood them nor had sympathy for children who suffered from them. Allergies struck me as a sign of weakness, and don’t even get me started on asthma, which I totally regarded as a ‘sissy’ illness.

So, it was either poetic justice or divine retribution that in my early teens I developed hay fever. With a vengeance each spring came the hell of itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, congestion, headache, and scratchy throat.

Back in the Jurassic period of my youth, there were no effective OTC allergy treatments, and even the prescription meds were of doubtful efficacy.

I was put on Actifed, which might as well have been a sleeping pill. It wasn’t quite the hammer to the head that Benadryl is today, but it was very nap inducing. And the more I took, so it seemed, the more I needed to have any effect on my symptoms.

Actifed made me feel like I was carrying a piano everywhere I went. During high school, I tried to get off it, especially during the allergy off-season (if such a time exists). But invariably I’d wind up at a house party with a feline in residence, and to avoid anaphylaxis, I’d have to beg tabs of Chlor-Trimeton from similarly afflicted friends.

I started acupuncture when I was about 26, which boosted my overall energy and gave me relief from a range of symptoms, including my nasal allergies. For a brief time, I was able to keep the demons at bay with just homeopathic remedies. But the acupuncture was too expensive to keep up, and the symptoms came clawing back, and I went crawling back to my old friend, Actifed.

Dawn of the ‘Non-Drowsies’

yellow and white red pills on blister pack

In the early 1990s, they came out with Seldane, the first of the ‘non-drowsy’ allergy treatments. I was pretty desperate at that point, so I asked a doctor to prescribe it.

He refused, because he’d heard of cardiac complications, such as ventricular arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, and cardiac death. He recommended continue on Actifed. I went to find a doctor who would prescribe Seldane.  

I didn’t have to take Seldane long, before Claritin became an option, and I got clear. Then the generics were released, and the price plummeted.

Still, the ‘non-drowsy’ meds were really only ‘less drowsy.’ I was stuck between a rock and a hard place, since the allergies, left untreated, also knocked me out. Remember the Cowardly Lion in the field of poppies? “Come to think of it, 20 winks doesn’t sound so bad…. Zzzzzzzzzz.” The spring pollen dumps, those days when I’d come out to find my white Civic under a yellow crust of plant poison, turned me into an itchy-sneezy zombie.

Only within the last couple of years have I realized that, whereas one pill would relieve the nasal symptoms, but leave me wiped out, a second pill would relieve the allergy induced drowsiness enough that I became functional. After I moved to South Carolina, a new environment notorious for allergens everywhere all the time, I reached the point where I was taking as many as three all-day pills a day!

A couple of weeks ago, as I ingested the last Loratadine pill in my cabinet, I figured I’d better get to the pharmacy quickly. I picked up a two-month supply, but when I got home, I didn’t feel the need to open the package. No sneezing. No itching. I felt better than I had the previous year at the same time, after taking a double dose. So, I put the Loratadine tabs in the cabinet, and I haven’t touched them.

Eight days later, I’m wondering, am I finally clean? I can’t remember the last time I went this long without a torturous flareup. I don’t know if it will last. I remind myself that this is only February. It’s not even vaguely pollen season, and when that hits at the end of March, beginning of April, I may go running to my medicine cabinet, deliriously happy to find the pills I’m ignoring now. But, in this moment, it’s quite a relief to be able to abstain.

Apparently, I’m not alone: NAD+ cured Jimmy’s allergies, too!

After hearing my story, my friend Greta put me in touch with her pal, Jimmy, who’s had a similar experience.

At 65 years old, Jimmy was running the customer-facing operations at a high-end steakhouse. Not the kind of position where you’d want sinusitis headaches, watery eyes, and a drippy nose.

But Jimmy had severe allergies, which caused such inflammation and nasal congestion that, even on prescription allergy meds, he was going through a box of tissues a day.

Because Jimmy has atrial fibrillation and high blood pressure, he can’t OTC decongestants, so he was paying a heavy price for drugs of doubtful efficacy. Like me, Jimmy’s allergies had developed over time, getting progressively worse with age, and haunting him year ‘round.

Then, he found NAD+.

After about eight months of NAD+ optimization with  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster from Jinfiniti Precision Medicine, Jimmy reports that his symptoms have eased up considerably. But not just the allergies. His blood pressure has improved as well, and he has more stamina on the job.

That last part is key, since he spends long hours on his feet at the restaurant and claims to cover about six-to-eight walking miles a day.

How does NAD+ treat allergies?

Perhaps the reason science has not developed a cure for allergies is that we still don’t know exactly what causes them. The puzzle seems to involve genetics, environmental triggers, and even human psychology.

What we do know is that allergies are an overreactive response to perceived threats to our health. It’s possible that environmental toxins and/or emotional stress put the immune system under the type of strain that flips the switch on allergy genes, and voila !, we become sniffling, sneezing messes.

The problem sort of boils down to a defect in cell-signaling, a function in which NAD+ plays a vital role. It’s possible that the stressers that trigger allergies also deplete NAD+, or perhaps they deplete NAD+ first, which interferes with immune cell signaling, thereby causing the overreaction we call allergy. If so, it makes sense that replenishing intracellular NAD+ would enable healthy signaling and stifle any tendency for our immune system to overreact.

Scientists are exploring the efficacy of NAD+ supplementation in treating allergies and asthma. While it’s too early to declare victory, the early results are promising.

NAD: The Best Sleep Aid I’ve Ever Encountered

Written by Jinfiniti Email on . Posted in Guest Blog, Learn, NAD & NAD Precursors.

Essential molecule rebuilds your sleep mechanism on the cellular level

For as long as I can remember, I have struggled to get a good night’s sleep.

The problem started after a childhood accident that left me with a nasty case of whiplash and misalignment of my spine. I suffered from stiff necks, and it became exceedingly difficult to get comfortable.

I often woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

As the years progressed, my sleep got progressively worse, because now I had daily concerns that I took to bed each night. I turned them over in my mind, as I tossed and turned in my bed.

So, naturally, I was tired all the time, which too often seemed to be the defining characteristic of my life.

I got through high school on sheer adrenaline and caught a break at college where free time between classes allowed me to sneak an occasional nap.

Studying didn’t come easy; reading was so relaxing, that I’d often fall asleep at the beginning of an assignment.

There wasn’t enough coffee or speed, (readily available at the campus infirmary), to enable me to pull an all-nighter. As a result, my grades were far from stellar, and I graduated thoroughly unready for the working world.

man sitting on bed in morning

Working 9 to 5, as I often did between acting gigs, was torturous. When three o’clock rolled around, I could barely keep my eyes open.

I had to fight to stay awake until I got my second wind. I often waited tables, beginning an evening shift around 4 o’clock, which meant leaving home around 3 pm, which was the height (or depths) of my afternoon slump.

Eventually, I went into teaching, where the workday mercifully ended with a 3 pm dismissal.

I could leave school by 3:30 and either get my much-needed nap or fight the slump and go running…slowly…after a long, slow warmup.

Many an afternoon, I felt like a vampire crawling back to his coffin at dawn.

There were years when I commuted by motorcycle or car, and my heavy lids put me in mortal danger.

You might recall the old Bill Cosby routine about negotiating with himself over how long he could “rest his eyes” while driving.

I mentioned this to a colleague who said he actually did fall asleep driving home one afternoon and awakened just in time to brake, to avoid crashing into a car stopped in front of him.

There were times when lack of sleep had me so stressed out, I’d have horrible nightmares. This pattern made me apprehensive at bedtime, making it even harder to relax and fall asleep.

Of course, the nightmare would come, like a self-fulfilling prophecy, guaranteeing a couple of insomniac hours before I could fall asleep again…often 10 minutes before the alarm went off.

My futile search for a good night’s sleep

I was not cavalier about my sleeping problem. I knew that poor sleep was ruining my health, and I did everything I could to overcome it:

  • Acupuncture
  • Aspirin
  • Tylenol PM
  • Benadryl
  • Chamomile tea
  • Dragon bone
  • Dolomite powder
  • Tryptophan
  • Melatonin
  • Rosebud tea
  • Hot baths
  • Massage
  • Therapy
  • Meditation
  • Calcium, magnesium, and zinc
  • SAMe
  • St. John’s Wort

None of this really worked. Oh, perhaps for a time I might sleep better, then the insomnia would creep back in. Or I’d go out like a light and not be able to wake up in the morning. Or the remedy would work, but a side-effect would force me to give it up.

I even went to a sleep clinic, and they gave me a machine to monitor my sleep. They said to put a clip on my finger and sleep as usual, and the machine would record my oxygen level to determine whether I had apnea.

I put the clip on my finger, and the annoying thing kept me awake all night. No sense getting a C-PAP machine. If I couldn’t sleep with a clothespin on my finger, I wasn’t going to sleep in scuba gear.

thermometer on medical pills

At one point, I wondered if I was clinically depressed, so a doctor prescribed some antidepressants. I took them for a couple of nights, but they left me feeling utterly desolate.

It’s hard to explain the sensation, but it felt like a knife was scraping the flesh from the bones of my soul. I tossed the rest of the pills in the trash.

Ultimately, my strategy for decent sleep became a low-stress schedule, a panoply of supplements, occasional acupuncture and massage, regular but not too strenuous exercise, rosebud tea, afternoon nap, and a near-total ban on red meat.

(And, of course, no sugar, but that was for other reasons.) Over the last several years, since I’ve been working freelance and making my own hours, I could catch some Zs on the back end of a rough night.

If I was wide awake from 3 to 5 am, I could sleep until 9 am. If it took me 10 hours to get seven hours of sleep, so be it. It was high-maintenance sleep hygiene, but at least I could function.

Sleep restored through NAD+

What a difference three months make!

That’s how long I’ve been taking Dr. She’s NAD+ optimization formula,  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster. In that time, my sleep has become deeper and more restorative.

I still wake up once or twice during the night, but I quickly fall back to sleep. Sometimes, I’ve been out so deep, that it takes me a while to come around, but once I do, I have a great deal more energy. In short,  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster is the most effective sleep remedy I’ve ever encountered.

I’ve had such great results from  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster that I asked Dr. She to make me an affiliate marketer for his company, Jinfiniti Precision Medicine. So, here’s my pitch for your best night sleep.

NAD restores essential molecules for cell functions

photo of sleeping man

NAD+ is an essential, natural compound for maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm. When you have sufficient levels of NAD+, your body understands that it’s time to sleep. NAD+ also reduces inflammation, so aches and pains melt away.

You’re more comfortable, relaxed, and ready to sleep. Plus, NAD+ improves cell signaling, thus correcting problems like insulin resistance that can cause blood sugar spikes that disrupt sleep in the middle of the night.

People lose NAD+ with age, stress, exposure to toxins, and poor lifestyle choices. Once your levels fall off, NAD+ is very hard to replenish with just diet and exercise.

Fortunately, when the importance of intracellular NAD+ became apparent, scientists like Dr. Jin-Xiong She set out to discover effective ways to optimize for it.

More than an effective insomnia remedy!

As I alluded to above, NAD+ is an essential cofactor in a wide array of cellular functions, such as energy production, respiration, and cell division.

Without NAD+, our cells struggle to function, which means our tissues, organs, and systems struggle, opening the door to various metabolic and age-related illnesses. I’ve written in this blog about how NAD+ helped me overcome a panoply of symptoms, including:

  • Allergies
  • Brain fog
  • Fatigue
  • Insomnia
  • Muscle strain
  • Inflammation
  • Sciatica
  • Shoulder impingement syndrome

My experience is not unique. I’ve spoken to numerous people, including Dr. She himself, who have overcome age-related aches, pains, and decline. They report greater energy and mental clarity, as well as higher libido and improved sexual performance. But research has also shown that optimizing NAD+ levels can alleviate the symptoms and/or deter the onset of:

  • PTSD
  • Insulin resistance
  • Type II diabetes
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Cancer
  • Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s

Based on what I’ve experienced and read over the last several months, I firmly believe that anyone over 35 should be supplementing to optimize their NAD+ levels.

All NAD+ supplements are not created equal

Unfortunately, NAD+ is hard to supplement, and not all products or methods are equal. Many are, frankly, a waste of time and money.

Dr. She has tested his supplement,  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster, against other products on the market, and has documented that it is far more effective. It’s also super convenient to take, and is reasonably priced for all the benefits it bestows.

Great news: Get started with NAD+ for only $28!

Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster has never been more cost-effective than now, because Dr. She is offering an introductory, one-month supply for only $28 dollars with a monthly subscription. That’s a savings of 76 percent, and you can cancel the subscription any time, if you’re not thrilled with the results. Just follow this link: Start for $28!

If you routinely struggle to get a good night’s sleep, you know how insomnia is undermining your health. Do yourself a tremendous favor and order  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster today. You’ll be very happy you did.

My NAD+ Story: After Three Months, I Feel 30 Years Younger!

Written by Jinfiniti Email on . Posted in Guest Blog, Learn, NAD & NAD Precursors.

cell seen under microscope

Breakthrough formula restores health and vitality on the cellular level

You may not be aware of this, but a revolution in health sciences is happening, because of discoveries surrounding a compound called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, abbreviated as NAD+.

This molecule, as it turns out, is essential for virtually every function of human cells, and not only do we not get enough of it, but aging, stress, and poor lifestyle choices cause a depletion of NAD+ at the cellular level.

NAD+ depletion leads to a wide range of metabolic and age-related disorders, including chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue, cancer, and on and on, seemingly ad infinitum.

The good news is that scientists, most notably Dr. Jin-Xiong She in Augusta, Georgia, have developed effective ways to boost intracellular levels of NAD+, thereby restoring youthful vigor and deterring a slew of adult-onset illnesses.

Now, if you’re thinking this pitch sounds too good to be true, I can hardly blame you. As a fourth grader reading about Ponce de Leon, I had to laugh at the gullible rube who was searching Florida for the Fountain of Youth.

And, as you might have read, I’m appalled by corrupt practices in modern medicine. But when it comes to all-natural methods of improving my health, I’ll try just about anything once. So, three-plus months ago, I started taking Dr. She’s NAD+ supplement, Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster, and am I ever happy I did!

Where did I go wrong?

A little personal background. When I was six, I suffered a nasty whiplash accident that left me with a misaligned spine and a sacrum that was ever-so-slightly out of the socket. My family’s quack doctor said to rest, and I’d been fine.

But I wasn’t fine, and he did nothing to help. As a result, I grew up with atrocious posture and sleeping problems that hampered my growth and left me chronically exhausted.

I was in fairly constant pain, which fluctuated between dull and excruciating, and I had to deal with ever-increasing metabolic health problems, which included a panoply of allergies, tinnitus, “sinus headaches,” a “nervous stomach,” hypoglycemia, and low-level asthma. I was rarely my best self, underperformed at school, lived under constant stress, and simply didn’t have the energy to pursue my life’s goals.

Now, I don’t want to paint a picture of abject misery. I’ve done a lot in my life and have known a great deal of joy and contentment.

And I feel like I’ve earned those moments. I fought for them, exploring every potential avenue to restore my health: chiropractic, Atkins’ diet, cytotoxic four-day rotation diet, nutrient supplementation, meditation, crystals, acupuncture, traditional Chinese herbs, complete abstention from sugar and alcohol, massage therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, and regular exercise.

I poured my meager earnings into expensive treatments that for a time allowed me to feel better before the exhaustion and the pain crept back in.

For the amount of exercise I put in, I should have had a chiseled physique, but I never made the progress others made, and pushing my boundaries resulted in exhaustion, inflammation, and more pain.

Chronic pain/fatigue has been my cross to bear. It’s a lighter cross than many others have endured, and for that I’m grateful.

But it nevertheless has limited my success personally and professionally.

I could recite a litany of times I ended a relationship or made a career change because I was just too tired to move forward.

When I was trying to break in as an actor, a common observation from the agents who interviewed me was, “You need to have more energy.”

As a singer, I never fully developed my voice, because the energy I lacked stunted the development of my vocal instrument.

As a writer, I’ve had a million stories bouncing around in my head that I just haven’t had the time—make that energy—to put down on paper.

So, at age 63, I perceive a huge chasm between my potential, based on an honest assessment of my talent and intelligence, and my accomplishments. Augh, so much spilt milk.

Saved from managed decline by NAD+!

The good news came about four or five months ago when my friend Greta asked if I wanted to do a little marketing writing for a product she was involved with.

At that time, I was feeling every bit of my age. I’d wake up every morning with a song in my heart, but it went something like this:

“Why does everything hurt, hurt, hurt?

Why does everything hurt, hurt, hurt?

Why does every little thing crackle and ping

When I take off my shirt?

It’s a day above dirt,

But why does everything hurt?”

Here’s a brief list of the symptoms I was struggling with:

  • Asthma
  • Allergies
  • Brain fog
  • Lethargy
  • Insomnia
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Swollen feet
  • Inflammation everywhere
  • Sciatica and piriformis syndrome
  • Shoulder impingement syndrome
  • Tinnitus
  • Neck pain
  • Restless leg syndrome and night cramps
  • Afternoon slump a la Rip Van Winkle

I dutifully exercised for an hour each day to keep these symptoms from worsening, but I was clearly managing my decline, not recovering.

So, then Greta introduced me to Dr. Jin-Xiong She, a molecular biologist who had founded Jinfiniti Precision Medicine.

Dr. She has been studying cellular functions relative to age-related diseases for decades.

His studies confirm that there is one essential nutrient that operates as a cofactor in virtually every cellular function, including the production of energy, a compound called NAD+.

People lose NAD+ with age, leading to a decline in our cells’ ability to perform, which opens the door to various maladies. Supplementing NAD+ can restore cellular performance to peak levels, so we build healthier tissues, bones, and organs.

Dr. She also confirmed through his studies that NAD+ is a difficult nutrient to supplement. Because it’s such a large molecule, it does not penetrate the gut barrier, and even if given intravenously, NAD+ is too large to pass through the vacuoles in the cell membranes.

Thus, the way to boost NAD+ levels is to supplement the precursor molecules, the building blocks of NAD+, and let them enter the cells where the organelles in the cell will use them to create NAD+.

Dr. She claims to have developed the most efficacious NAD+ supplement on the market, and after three months of taking it, I have no reason to doubt him.

Dr. She is a very data-driven scientist, so the first thing he wanted to do with me was draw some blood and measure my levels of essential biomarkers.

Not surprisingly, my NAD+ level was that of a mid-70s man.

The way I figure it, constant stress depleted my levels, and even the strict diet and exercise regimen I’ve been on for decades was not enough to replenish this vital nutrient.

I was also deficient in creatine, which could explain the muscle soreness I experienced after exercising, and I had poor biomarkers for inflammation and antioxidant levels.

Armed with this information, I started taking Dr. She’s NAD+ supplement,  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster, along with creatine, anti-inflammatory supplements, and antioxidants.

What three months on  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster has done

I’m now on my third jar of  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster, and as I wrote at the beginning, I feel like I’m back in my mid-30s. Now, my mid-30s might translate to a fit individual’s early 50s, but I’ll take it, because here’s what I’m experiencing:

  • Vastly improved overall energy
  • Deeper sleep
  • Allergies are milder
  • Mental fog gone
  • Better mood
  • Tightness in my trapezius and neck during computer work/piano playing greatly diminished
  • Tenderness in the shoulder greatly diminished
  • Pain/swelling in my feet and lower legs greatly diminished
  • Sciatica and piriformis pain barely noticeable
  • Greater flexibility, greater ability to stretch muscles and hold deep stretches longer
  • Hardly any muscle soreness after exercise
  • Easier, quicker workouts
  • Singing is easier with better airflow, greater range, and more power

This is after only three months. Dr. She says he’s been taking  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster for two years and is still discovering new benefits.

Is NAD+ a real hope for humanity?

In my research, I’ve found that NAD+ optimization is proven or suspected to be beneficial for an incredible number of conditions related to faulty metabolism, genetic mutations, poor neural signaling, and aging, such as:

  • Addiction
  • Age-related macular degeneration
  • Allergies and asthma
  • Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases
  • Autism
  • Cancer
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Depression
  • Female infertility
  • Insomnia
  • Low libido
  • Obesity
  • PTSD
  • Type II diabetes and insulin resistance

Now here’s where I offer my disclaimer. Because of my own experience, the mounting hard scientific evidence, and enthusiastic anecdotal testimony, I am sold on  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster and am excited to share what I know with anyone who could benefit.

So, I asked Dr. She to make me an affiliate marketer for Jinfiniti Precision Medicine.

I think what Dr. She has accomplished is amazing, and the word has to get out to the public. Just thinking about all the unhealthy, suffering people in this country who could benefit and turn their lives around…it makes my head spin.
