Optimizing My NAD Stack, My Secret to Live Long and Prosper


Star Date 09.21.25

NAD⁺ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is like the spark plug of life. It fuels energy, repair, and resilience inside every cell. The challenge is that NAD⁺ declines as we age, leaving us with less capacity for energy, recovery, and renewal.

I’ve felt that loss personally — slower recovery, dips in energy, even moments of fog that made me feel older than I wanted to admit. But little by little, through prayer, discipline, and curiosity, I’ve discovered ways to rebuild those reserves.

Here’s my daily stack for full optimization:

  • Intermittent Fasting – Giving my body time to rest from food encourages renewal and naturally boosts NAD⁺.

  • Exercise – Whether it’s tennis, pickleball, or a walk, physical activity switches on the pathways that keep cells young and energized.

  • Prioritize Sleep – Deep rest keeps my circadian rhythm aligned with repair and renewal.

  • Reduce Alcohol – Protecting NAD⁺ by not burning it up on detoxification. I limit myself to a glass or two of red wine or the occasional lite beer. If there’s a weakness here, it’s the margarita — and we happen to have two Mexican restaurants in our small town.

  • Manage Stress – Prayer, meditation, and deep breathing help preserve energy for growth instead of survival.

On top of these habits, I add a supplement stack:

  • NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) tablets – a direct precursor that helps my body build fresh NAD⁺.

  • Trans-Resveratrol – a powerful polyphenol that works synergistically with NMN to activate sirtuins, the enzymes that guard longevity.

Since building this stack into my daily rhythm, I’ve noticed a difference — better recovery after long days, sharper focus, and an energy that feels closer to the younger version of me. For me, this isn’t about vanity. It’s about stewardship: honoring the body God gave me so I can serve others with strength and joy.

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." — Isaiah 40:31
