Mastermind 7: NAD+

In this “NAD+ Summit,” Dr. Seeds delves deeply into the functioning of NAD+ – nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a vital coenzyme found in every living cell that acts as a critical player in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cell signaling – it also plays a huge role in regulating SIRT genes, which can promote healthy aging. With research showing that NAD+ levels decline with age and stress and prompting interest in supplementation, Dr. Seeds reviews NAD+ biology through a redox and mitochondrial lens, with an emphasis on how NAD+ regulation helps to shape immune activity and circadian clock regulation. You’ll gain fresh insight into NAD+ production (including salvage and de novo pathways), how it is used in cells (such as DNA repair and signaling enzymes), and why compartmentalization and “flux” often matter more than a single blood value when determining NAD+ levels.Throughout the 7 lessons, the goal is to help you build a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of NAD+ and how peptide therapies can inform your treatment of patients. The course is designed for clinicians and advanced learners who want to deepen their understanding of NAD+ function and integrate it accurately and responsibly into their practice.

The course is organized as a mechanism-first sequence of didactic lessons, summit-style lectures, and a clinician-focused panel Q&A. It is designed to help learners connect core NAD concepts to evidence-aware clinical reasoning and monitoring over time.
