I went to Dr. Liu for GainsWAVE and the p-shot. I found him to be quite informed, very friendly, and a pleasure to work with.

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a molecule involved in many of the body’s most fundamental biological processes, including cellular energy production, DNA repair, and metabolic regulation.
Contents
A key molecule in cellular energy
NAD+ is a coenzyme present in every cell of the body. It plays an essential role in the biochemical reactions that allow cells to produce energy and maintain normal metabolic function.Within the cell, NAD+ participates in processes such as:
- Mitochondrial energy production
- Cellular metabolism
- DNA repair mechanisms
- Regulation of oxidative stress
How NAD+ decline may influence the body
Cellular Energy Decline
Lower NAD+ levels may reduce the efficiency of mitochondrial energy production.
Metabolic Changes
Cellular metabolism becomes less efficient over time, influencing how the body manages energy.
DNA Repair Efficiency
NAD+ plays a role in cellular repair mechanisms that help maintain cell health.
Neurological Function
Brain cells rely heavily on efficient energy metabolism to support cognitive function.
Supporting cellular function over time
Research into aging biology has increasingly focused on cellular metabolism and mitochondrial function.Because NAD+ plays a central role in these systems, therapies designed to support NAD+ availability have become part of some physician-guided longevity strategies.
Longevity medicine focuses on supporting the biological systems that influence how the body ages.NAD+ therapy may be considered within this broader framework of metabolic and cellular optimization.
Physician-guided NAD+ Therapy
Consultation
Evaluation of symptoms, health history, and overall goals for longevity or performance optimization.
Medical Evaluation
Determining whether NAD+ therapy may be appropriate within a broader care strategy.
Therapy Sessions
NAD+ may be administered through physician-guided treatment protocols.
Monitoring and Adjustment
Treatment frequency and duration may be adjusted based on response and patient goals.
Biological systems NAD+ may influence
Patients often explore NAD+ therapy as part of broader longevity strategies aimed at supporting:
Energy Production
Cellular energy generation and metabolic performance.
Cognitive Clarity
Brain energy metabolism and neurological function.
Recovery Capacity
Cellular repair and recovery processes.
Metabolic Balance
Healthy metabolic signaling and cellular efficiency.
How NAD+ Therapy fits into longevity medicine
NAD+ therapy is rarely used as a standalone solution. Instead, it is often considered alongside other physician-guided longevity strategies.
- Hormone optimization
- Metabolic health support
- Regenerative therapies
- Peptide therapies
