A 27 year old woman went to a longevity clinic in the Bronx, received an NAD drip, and died a few hours later.
Matt Kaeberlein raised it as a tragic story, not a proven mechanism, and I am going to keep it in those terms. The case has not established cause. What it has established is that an industry is selling infusions to healthy young people with very little underneath the pitch.
So I asked him directly whether he has ever had an NAD injection or IV.
No. And he said he would not, because he does not see any value in it.
Sit with who said that. He has spent a career in geroscience and knows this molecule's literature cold.
His closing point is the one almost nobody shares, because there is no money in it. The things that are not sexy and do not get clicks are the things that matter. Nutrition. Sleep. Connection. Exercise. His phrasing was forget everything else.
Pick the one of those four you are worst at and fix it this month. That will outperform any drip you can buy.
