NAD+ is a coenzyme naturally present in the body. Levels tend to decline with age, particularly under chronic stress, metabolic dysfunction, poor sleep, and systemic inflammation. This decline has led researchers to explore whether supporting NAD+ pathways may influence cellular resilience and aging-related function.

Advanced imaging has transformed modern medicine. MRI, CT scanning, coronary calcium scoring, and body composition analysis now provide extraordinary visibility into the body long before symptoms appear.

Lifespan refers to duration. Healthspan refers to function. It reflects how long the body and mind remain capable, resilient, and independent. Strength. Cognitive clarity. Mobility. Energy. The ability to engage fully in life without significant decline.

“Fine” is one of the most common descriptions patients use when asked about their health. No major complaints. No urgent concerns.

Continuous glucose monitors have moved beyond diabetes care and into the broader health and performance space.

Low energy is often normalized. Busy schedule. Poor sleep. Stress. The assumption is that fatigue is situational and will resolve with time.

High performance is often measured externally. Output. Decision-making. Leadership under pressure. The ability to sustain focus across long days and complex demands.

This month, Dr. Dominique Fradin-Read introduces Epitalon (also spelled Epithalon), a synthetic tetrapeptide that has attracted attention in aging research.

As recently announced in a previous e-blast, on April 15, 2026, the FDA indicated that several peptides would be removed from Category 2
