Everyone wants the secret to living forever. The billionaires chase it with cryo chambers, plasma transfusions, and $2,000/month supplement stacks. But here’s the part they don’t tell you: the core of their “longevity protocol” comes down to one molecule that costs less than dinner. It’s called NAD⁺ — nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide — and it’s the molecule your cells use for almost everything: - Energy production (mitochondria) - DNA repair - Cellular communication - Inflammation control Basically, if your body were a smartphone, NAD⁺ is the battery.And every year after age 25, that battery drains — fast. By your 40s, NAD⁺ levels can be cut in half.That’s when you start feeling the slow creep: less energy, slower recovery, brain fog, weaker skin elasticity. Now here’s the cheat code: Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) — a simple vitamin B3 derivative — is one of the most studied and effective ways to recharge your NAD⁺ levels. Clinical studies show that supplementing 500–1000 mg of NR daily can boost NAD⁺ levels by 40–200% depending on the dose and duration. No needles. No cryotherapy. No billionaire subscription. It’s not immortality — but it is the first affordable, scientifically verified step toward slowing the biological clock. You could think of it as “upgrading your cell’s operating system” — without the monthly $1,000 biohacker tax. If you want to start somewhere cheap, start with NAD⁺.Because longevity isn’t about how long you live — it’s about how long you stay fully alive. 🔬 Studies worth reading - Nature Aging: NR boosts whole blood NAD⁺ up to 2.7x - Elhassan et al. 2019: NR augments aged skeletal muscle NAD⁺ metabolome - Martens et al. 2018: NR safely elevates NAD⁺ in older adults

They say adversity reveals potential. Mine came when I tore my Achilles—and what started as a brutal injury turned into the gateway into the world of peptides. 🎬 “Rule 18, man—you gotta limber up” If you remember Zombieland, there’s that scene: Columbus: You should actually limber up as well. Especially if we're going down that hill. It is very important. Tallahassee: I don't believe in it. You ever see a lion limber up before it takes down a gazelle? I broke Rule 18. I thought I was bulletproof. 🏋️ The Day It Happened: Seven years ago, I was in my prime as a bodybuilder. My joints were rigid, my ligaments unyielding. I walked—and lifted—like a fortress… until I didn’t. I joined a casual soccer game. Fifteen minutes in, I made a sharp cut to the left. In an instant: a sickening pop. Like someone kicked a ball into the back of my leg. I knew immediately something was very wrong. I hobbled off the field, called an Uber, and made my way to the hospital. MRI confirmed a full Achilles tear. Surgery was inevitable. The doc told me recovery would take 12 months. A year of limping. A year of frustration. 🔬 The Study That Changed Everything: As I sat staring at scans and repurposed rehab protocols, I started digging. That’s when I found a compelling animal study: rats whose Achilles tendons were fully severed, healed dramatically faster when treated with BPC-157. - In Gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 accelerates healing of transected rat Achilles tendon, researchers showed that BPC-157 improved biomechanical strength, functional healing (measured via the Achilles functional index), collagen organization, and overall structural integrity vs control animals. PubMed - In another model, BPC-157 accelerated early functional recovery after tendon-to-bone transection, reduced inflammation, and enhanced blood vessel formation (vascular index) compared to controls.

A little backstory… In 2024 I tore my labrum lifting heavy and playing golf. After an MRI, my orthopedic surgeon told me flat-out I’d need surgery. That was supposed to be my only option. Instead of going under the knife, I started digging into research peptides — specifically BPC-157 and TB-500. 👉 What happened next honestly shocked both me and my doctor. Within two months of consistent use, my shoulder had healed to the point where surgery was no longer necessary. Full range of motion. No constant pain. Back to lifting and playing golf. Why This Matters - BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) has been shown in research settings to accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and speed recovery. - TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4 fragment) is linked to faster healing of connective tissue, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. - Together, they created the perfect environment for my body to heal naturally — instead of just masking pain or waiting for surgery. ⚠️ Important note: These are research compounds. Nothing here is medical advice. Consult your doctor yada yada. Key Takeaways 1. Don’t accept “surgery or nothing” as the only path — there are often other science-backed solutions. 2. Recovery doesn’t just mean rest. The right compounds, nutrition, and mindset can dramatically change outcomes. 3. The world of peptides is still underground for most people, but it’s a massive game-changer for those who want to heal faster and perform better.
