A picture of a feather with the words `` everything you need to know about nad + therapy '' written on it.

If you’ve been feeling drained, foggy, or like your body just isn’t keeping up the way it used to, you’re not alone. I see it all the time—patients coming in exhausted, struggling with focus, frustrated with slow recovery, and feeling like they’re aging faster than they should.

One of the best tools I’ve found to help restore energy, boost brain function, and support long-term health is NAD+ therapy. It’s quickly become a client favorite, and for good reason. 


What Is NAD+ and Why Does It Matter?


NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that every single cell in your body needs to function. It helps produce energy, repair DNA, reduce inflammation, and protect brain health. But here’s the problem—NAD levels naturally decline with age, stress, poor sleep, and environmental toxins.

When NAD levels are restored, your body starts working the way it’s supposed to again.


How NAD+ Therapy Works

There are two main ways I use NAD+ therapy in my practice—IV infusions and injections. Both are effective, but they serve different needs.


1. NAD+ IV Therapy: The Deep Recharge

This is the most powerful way to restore NAD levels. A high dose is delivered slowly through an IV, allowing your body to absorb it directly into the bloodstream.

What to expect during treatment:

  • The infusion takes 2-4 hours (we go slow to avoid nausea).
  • Some clients feel a slight warming sensation or pressure—totally normal.
  • Many describe feeling clear-headed and energized before they even leave the chair.

Who it’s best for:
I recommend IV therapy for clients who need a
full-body reset—those dealing with chronic fatigue, burnout, brain fog, or recovering from illness, stress, or heavy training.


2. NAD+ Injections: The Quick Boost

For those who can’t commit to long IV sessions or want a maintenance option, NAD+ injections are a great alternative.

What to expect:

  • It’s a simple shot, done in minutes.
  • The effects build gradually over the next few hours to days.
  • Perfect for weekly or biweekly sessions to maintain results after an IV series.

Who it’s best for:
Clients who
need a steady energy boost for busy schedules, travel, or general wellness love this option.


What Results Can You Expect?

I’ve seen NAD+ therapy completely turn things around for my clients. Many notice a boost in energy and mental clarity after just a few sessions, with fewer afternoon crashes and more steady focus throughout the day. Their workouts feel easier to recover from, soreness decreases, and motivation improves, making it easier to stay active. Others describe a noticeable shift in mood, improved memory, and a metabolism that finally feels like it’s working again. Some experience these changes immediately, especially with IV therapy, while for others, the benefits build over time with consistent treatments. Either way, the impact on overall well-being is undeniable.


Let’s Get You Feeling Like Yourself Again

I love seeing my clients regain their energy, clarity, and drive with NAD+ therapy. If you’re ready to feel recharged, sharp, and resilient, let’s talk about creating a treatment plan that fits your goals.
