NAD Therapy: Boosting Energy, Sleep, and Cellular Health

You may have heard people talking about NAD+ therapy, from athletes to busy professionals to anyone wanting to feel sharper, healthier, and more energized. But what exactly is NAD+, and why is it such a powerful tool for wellness and anti-aging? Let’s talk about it.

What Is NAD?

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It’s essential for converting food into energy, repairing DNA, supporting brain function, and keeping your cells young and resilient.

The challenge? NAD+ levels naturally decline as we age and with lifestyle stress, illness, and even lack of sleep the decline is accelerated. This drop is linked to fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, slower recovery, and visible signs of aging.

NAD+ therapy helps replenish those levels, giving your cells the fuel they need to thrive.

Benefits of NAD Therapy

• Energy & Vitality: Many people notice a natural lift in physical stamina and mental clarity.

• Sharper Focus & Memory: Supports healthy brain function, concentration, and mood.

• Better Sleep: By helping restore balance at a cellular level, NAD+ can improve sleep quality, making it easier to fall and stay asleep.

• Faster Recovery: Athletes and active individuals often use NAD+ to boost endurance and speed up muscle repair.

• Anti-Aging Support: NAD+ plays a direct role in repairing DNA, reducing oxidative stress, and protecting cells from damage—helping slow down the aging process both inside and out. Many clients report feeling, and looking, more vibrant.

• Stronger Resilience: From immune support to stress defense, NAD+ helps your body handle life’s daily demands.

The Process: What to Expect

NAD+ therapy is available in two common forms: IV infusion or IM (intramuscular) injection.

1. Consultation & Plan: You’ll meet with your nurse who will help determine your health, wellness and overall goals to ensure NAD+ is the right approach for you and work with you to create a treatment plan that is tailored to you.

2. Medical Clearance: You will meet with a provider via telehealth to ensure you are safe to have NAD+ therapy. NAD+ therapy is not safe for everyone, so this is an important step to help keep you and your body protected.

3. Treatment Session:

   • IV Infusion: NAD+ is delivered directly into the bloodstream over 1–2 hours for deep, cellular replenishment.IM Injection: A quick shot into the muscle for faster appointments with effective absorption.

4. Titration Phase: In your first few sessions, NAD+ is gradually increased at a safe, steady pace. This helps your body adjust comfortably while rebuilding your levels.

5. Relax & Recharge: Infusions are typically calming, you’ll rest while the drip runs. Injections take just minutes.

   • Possible Symptoms: NAD+ infusions can cause mild symptoms like nausea, stomach discomfort and headache. This can be mitigated by slowing the rate that your infusion is running. Communicate with your nurse about symptoms and your comfort level to ensure you are getting a relaxing experience with great results. 

6. Ongoing Support: After your initial series, you’ll move into maintenance treatments to keep your levels up. 

The Science: Why IV and IM Works Better Than Oral

You might wonder: “Why not just take NAD+ in a pill?”

Here’s the difference:

• Oral NAD+ supplements must go through your digestive system. Much of it is broken down before your body can use it, so the actual absorption is limited.

• IV Infusion delivers NAD+ directly into your bloodstream, bypassing digestion entirely for maximum absorption.

• IM Injections also skip the digestive process and are absorbed quickly into circulation—making them an effective alternative for those who want something quicker than an infusion.

In short, IV and IM therapy give your cells the NAD+ they need right away, in higher concentrations, compared to what oral supplements can achieve.

Consistency Is Key

NAD+ therapy isn’t a “one and done” treatment. Just like hydration, exercise, or healthy eating, consistency matters. Because your body naturally uses up NAD+ every day, staying on a regular treatment schedule helps maintain optimal levels and keep the benefits going strong.

Think of it as recharging your body’s batteries. Once your levels are restored, regular sessions help you feel energized, focused, and balanced on a consistent basis.

Is NAD Therapy Right for You?

If you’re dealing with fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog, or simply want to age gracefully and feel your best, NAD+ therapy may be a great option. With safe, steady titration in the beginning and ongoing consistency, NAD+ helps you fuel your cells for energy, clarity, and long-term vitality.

Here is the bottom line:

NAD+ therapy goes beyond a quick energy boost—it works at the cellular level to support energy, better sleep, anti-aging, recovery, and overall wellness. With the right treatment plan and consistent sessions, it’s a powerful way to help your body and mind function at their best.
