Longevity Supplements: What I Take, When I Take It & Why | The Truth About NMN, NAD+, Spermidine & Healthy AgingAre longevity supplements really the key to living longer—or is there something more important?In this episode of The Longevity Lounge, Dr. Cherine breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions in longevity medicine: why the same supplement can produce incredible results for one person and make another feel worse.🔬 Supplements Discussed & Their Potential Benefits:• NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) – Supports NAD+ production, cellular energy, and healthy aging pathways.• NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) – A precursor to NAD+ that may support mitochondrial function, energy production, and cellular resilience.• NAD+ – Essential for energy metabolism, DNA repair, stress adaptation, and cellular communication.• Spermidine – Supports autophagy, the body's natural cellular renewal and cleanup process.• Urolithin A – Supports mitophagy, helping the body remove dysfunctional mitochondria and maintain healthy cellular energy production.⚠️ The key takeaway: Supplements don't work in isolation. Your sleep, nutrition, metabolic health, stress levels, gut health, and overall biology determine how well your body responds.Topics Covered:✅ What supplements I take and why✅ The science behind NAD+, NMN, and NR✅ Autophagy vs. mitophagy explained simply✅ Why longevity supplements work differently for everyone✅ The role of mitochondrial health in aging✅ How sleep, nutrition, exercise, and metabolic health affect supplement outcomes✅ Common mistakes people make with longevity stacks✅ How to build a supplement strategy that actually works🛒 Supplements Mentioned & Practitioner RecommendationsDr. Cherine recommends starting with foundational health before adding advanced longevity supplements.
