Molecular Science of Longevity: Can You ACTUALLY Live Past 120 Years? | Andrew Salzman

Could a single molecule be the difference between vibrant longevity and early decline? Dr. Andrew Salzman—Harvard-trained physician, scientist, and creator of the first PARP1 inhibitor, Chief Medical Officer of Wonderfeel—joins Dave to reveal the real key to living longer, fighting disease, and maximizing your energy: NAD. This master molecule fuels your mitochondria, DNA repair, and cellular resilience, but here’s the catch—it plummets as you age. That means more fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and higher risks of disease. But what if you could stop the decline and even reverse it? Dr. Salzman breaks down the game-changing science behind NAD, CD38, and cellular repair—and the fastest, most effective ways to optimize your levels for peak performance, health, and longevity. Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about aging, pharmaceuticals vs. supplements, and the radical new approach to living better, longer. What You’ll Learn: • The #1 reason your NAD is disappearing—and how to fix it • Why NAD is the missing link in energy, DNA repair, and disease prevention • The hidden enzyme (CD38) that’s sabotaging your longevity • How to supercharge mitochondria, optimize blood flow, and fight aging at the source • Why the supplement industry has it wrong—and the best way to boost NAD naturally • The shocking truth about the FDA, pharmaceuticals, and the future of anti-aging medicine Resources: Dave Asprey’s New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/ Wonderfeel Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/getwonderfeel/ Wonderfeel Supplement : https://getwonderfeel.com/product/wonderfeel-youngr-nmn/?utm_source=Dave&utm_medium=podcast 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com Dave Asprey’s Website: https://daveasprey.com Dave Asprey’s Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com Chapters: 00:00 Trailer 01:07 Introduction and Episode Overview 02:29 Meet Dr. Andrew Salzman 02:36 From Physician to Researcher 03:39 Pharmaceuticals vs. Nutritionals 04:17 The Role of NAD in Longevity 06:32 Challenges in Longevity Research 12:58 Understanding NAD and PARP 14:34 NAD’s Impact on Health 23:19 Gut Health and Longevity 27:43 Innovations in NAD Supplementation 41:27 Customer Feedback and Product Effectiveness 42:41 Surprising Benefits of NAD for Sexual Health 44:47 NAD and Vascular Health 48:46 NAD’s Role in Aging and Longevity 54:03 NAD and Lifestyle Choices 01:03:02 NAD and Cognitive Function 01:06:18 NAD and Exercise 01:13:42 NAD and Sleep 01:21:54 Final Thoughts on NAD and Longevity Connect with Dave Asprey!
