NAD+ Therapy is increasingly recognized as a powerful approach for slowing aging and increasing longevity. It is increasingly recognized as a uniquely effective tool for optimal health and wellness. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and its decline has been associated not only with signs of aging and neurodegeneration, but with the development of metabolic diseases and cancers.
Based on our understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of aging, it is becoming clear that aging doesn’t only move in one direction. We all know certain conditions can accelerate aging, but it’s also true that certain interventions can slow or even reverse it. NAD+ may play an important role in doing just that.
At Improving Your Health in Tampa, we take an approach to long-term optimal health that is designed to correct underlying cause(s) of chronic conditions or symptoms. Discover the difference targeted therapy with NAD+ can make in your health as you age.
To take the first step onto your personalized functional medicine journey and see real, sustained results, call our Tampa office at (813) 499-1440 or book online today for in-person or telemedicine options.
The acronym for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, NAD+ is an essential coenzyme in every living cell – converting food into energy and playing a critical role in metabolism, brain function, DNA repair, immune function, and most famously, longevity.
Because NAD+ levels decline with age and that decline has been linked to aging and the neurodegeneration and disease that accompany aging, recent research has focused on NAD+ replacement to slow aging and extend life. Replenishment of NAD+ levels may activate sirtuins – which are proteins linked to longevity and DNA repair - to support cellular regeneration and slow specific aspects of the aging process.
NAD+ isn't a classic "nutrient" like vitamins or minerals, but rather it is a vital coenzyme produced from B-vitamin precursors like niacin found in food.
NAD+ doesn’t have to work alone. Imagine combining NAD+ longevity benefits with other powerful nutrients that can improve body composition, mental clarity, skin health, mood, sleep, and more!
NAD+ Therapy offers specific benefits, including:
It has also shown benefits in addiction recovery, alleviating withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings in individuals with substance abuse disorders.
It is quick-acting – with increased energy levels felt almost immediately. Other benefits include:
NAD+ can be used to treat the following conditions:
Dr. Rubin always begins with a functional evaluation of your body and your individual health profile. An initial health consultation involves examining all aspects of how your body is functioning. Dr. Rubin then works with you to create an individualized medical plan tailored to your health goals.
At Improving Your Health, Dr. Rubin creates personalized plans based on each client’s unique assessment. He recognizes the nuanced differences among his clients, with the understanding that no two treatment plans should ever be the same – because every human being is unique.
Dr. Rubin evaluates issues like whether your symptom(s) could be a side effect of a medication or chronic health condition. Our functional medicine approach means the goal is to understand the root cause of any health-challenging issues you may be experiencing, as opposed to simply treating symptoms. With a holistic approach, we prioritize long-lasting health, not just short-term results.
That’s why a comprehensive medical evaluation is so important.
You and Dr. Rubin will explore the results of your medical history, physical exam and any tests and discuss your options together to arrive at your ideal treatment plan. He will discuss with you whether NAD+ Therapy is a form of treatment that may benefit your particular health concerns.
If our NAD+ Therapy at Improving Your Health is right for your condition, your treatment plan may simply include NAD+ Therapy alone or in combination with other therapies or treatments. From acupuncture to medical weight loss, we have a myriad of therapies that may complement NAD+ Therapy in treating your specific medical condition(s).
That’s why it’s important to work with a functional medicine doctor who seeks to understand the underlying root causes of your health issues. In that way, therapies and treatments like NAD+ Therapy can be fine-tuned to address your specific health needs.
NAD+ Therapy works by delivering the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) directly into your bloodstream through subcutaneous (SubQ) injections for maximum absorption and immediate availability to your cells.
We can discuss how often you should receive NAD+ Therapy as well as other health interventions that are recommended. It will depend on your individual health goals and how your body responds to treatment.
Regular consultations at Improving Your Health to maintain your health are essential, especially if you begin to notice specific health issues, so that your condition can be evaluated, and next steps can be taken in a timely manner.
The effects of Therapy will be impacted by individual differences, overall health and wellness, your age and specific medical conditions. Regular consultations at Improving Your Health to maintain your overall health and longevity are essential, especially if you begin to notice a return of symptoms over time, so that your condition can be evaluated, and next steps can be taken in a timely manner.
Developing methods to increase NAD+ levels has been extensively studied. It can be effectively administered via intramuscular (IM) injections and subcutaneous (SubQ) injections, which like IV therapy bypass the digestive system for better absorption. Both IM and SQ injections avoid side effects that can sometimes occur with higher-dose IV Therapy (like nausea, flushing or chest pressure). Other methods include liposomal oral supplements, sublingual sprays, and inhalation delivery.
Dr. Rubin prefers the use of SubQ injections which can be administered in the privacy and comfort of your home, and that is the delivery method we utilize.
