0:00Speaker 0All right. Welcome back to the Peptide of the Week. This is a good 1. This is a good 1. This is probably 1 of the most popular ones,
0:11Speaker 0qualities. All the ladies like this 1 for sure, but it definitely is for men as well. I take it. I love it. I'm talking about NAD
0:30Speaker 1Will T Haws. Hello, my brother. How are you? I'm doing well, man. I'm doing well. This is a
0:39Speaker 0because there's a lot of cool there's a lot of cool stuff that's going on here. Well, I love this. I love doing this with you, bro, because it really just shines our personalities,
0:48Speaker 0bro. I'm just you know, and you're just the, you know, it really shows our personalities well, man. So it's cool. You know, was thinking about this before we started, man, and I
1:06Speaker 0and I get to wear my gym clothes every day, all day. How cool is that? It's awesome. And I don't have to dress like this, but sometimes I like to
1:15Speaker 0look nice and professional, I suppose. I love it. So let's let's let's get into it, man. So what is NAD?
1:27Speaker 1I guess so 1st of all, NAD is a form of is a form of niacin, which is, like, vitamin b 3.
1:50Speaker 1is a precursor to NAD. There are supplements out there that you take that and it converts into NAD, but basically
2:04Speaker 1You can go to medical facilities and get it in like an actual IV drip. You can inject it subcutaneously,
2:48Speaker 0So it's like pure energy. It's not like, you know, shoot up if you're going to, like, drink a coffee or if you're going to take an energy drink or something like that. What I find is it's just steady energy. Yeah. Yeah. It's definitely not like caffeine where it's up and down kind of boost energy. But basically in a in a very complex way, it helps create ATP.
3:48Speaker 1Creatine also, just a funny fact, is a is a ATP basically reuptake agent. So it converts the ADP back into
3:59Speaker 0You've been talking about, you know, peptides for a long time. I've obviously known you in a long time and a lot longer than me. I've dove into it and I love it, but would
4:07Speaker 0you find that 1 of the best benefits is the anti aging? Because it does, it's well known for slowing down aging process. I think like we said because of the DNA
4:23Speaker 0is that's why I get so many questions from at least women is the slowing down of aging process. Better hair, better skin, better nails. Absolutely.
4:32Speaker 1You know, all that stuff. Yeah, I think that that's the big and it actually and it works. I mean, it works, right? These scientists have little different biomarkers and we've done tests in
4:51Speaker 1And it, yes, it works. I know people I mean, goodness, if you go on the internet and you can believe what you want to believe, but I mean,
4:58Speaker 1I know several people who've been taking it who just visibly look a lot younger. Like, it really works and, yeah, that's its kind of primary marketed
5:07Speaker 1marketed ability, but it does a lot of other things that are really cool. But, yeah, that's that is a necessary
5:18Speaker 1You should be taking it age of the plus. Especially people we come in contact with our age. I mean, we're getting older.
5:23Speaker 1But the DNA repair is great, and it's, I compare it to at least from my viewpoint of just some of the reasons why I started fasting, just, you know, the cell repaired,
5:47Speaker 1I think it's gonna do well just because of that, you know, because it's it's it's like a double whammy. You're putting yourself in these hard positions
5:57Speaker 1to put it on. Absolutely. What you just said, right, it's all the same thing, you know, the same things in life. Like, there are tons of lifestyle factors that you can do. I mean, maybe we can get to that, but
6:09Speaker 1I think we'll get to that later. So I don't need to waste my breath. But what else what else does it do?
6:27Speaker 1and just and repair us on a, like, atomic level. And so that's also with the brain. It is going to improve your cognitive health.
6:37Speaker 1They they are doing they are actively using it in studies for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
6:44Speaker 0it showed real promise, and it does. You know? A thought focus I've noticed just in my own taking of the product. You know, I've read a lot about that stuff too.
6:56Speaker 0do notice a focus gets a little bit better. And, man, just because of how you and I, you know, used to party quite a bit when when we were younger, but that has really affected me in my older age just being very forgetful and I I have noticed the difference. I really have. Yeah, I agree. I agree. Me too. I know. I it's it's crazy. I forget simple words like road, you know, or The
7:33Speaker 0Yeah, I think though 1 of the things that I've loved about, you know, peptides, a lot of them, they're not all in this category, but the brain function part is really 1 of my favorite things, man. I mean, the repair of just a lot of these are just amazing, man. So NAD shines when it comes to energy,
7:53Speaker 0Let's let me ask you this, brother. What who would you say would be the right person for this? Who would you think that would should take this? Well,
8:31Speaker 1They won't degrade as much in your and it really helps your immune response. Right? So a bug comes at you or anytime that we get stressed, that is killing that's hurting our immune system. Right? And NAD is just gonna make
8:45Speaker 1And in stay ahead of the curve. Yeah. Absolutely. And inflammation is, I mean, is a problem everywhere from from the inflammation we see to to the inflammation we don't see, and it's really gonna help cut down inflammation everywhere. I mean, if you stop like, puzzles. So if you stop and just sit on that 1 in particular,
9:23Speaker 0everybody. So everybody, because it doesn't matter, like, you know, both of us are healthy, you know, and I try to avoid seed oils at all costs. I left the office a lot yesterday. I was exhausted
9:35Speaker 0Liz had already fed the boys and I stopped at Chipotle and I know they cook seed oils, but guess what? I was tired and it made sense. My point is you can't get away from it, man. We eat them. It is what it is. Mhmm. So a peptide like this is going to help combat that stuff.
9:50Speaker 1Yep. Absolute yeah. Yep. No doubt. Give your I mean, technology is there. Like, guys, technology is there. Let's use it. I'm all in for, like, you know, using it and using things safely. And I guess, finally, it'll actually help your circadian rhythm, right, because it's which is great, which is gonna contribute to you having better sleep patterns, but, guy but but sleep patterns are huge. That's something that I need to do a lot better on. But,
10:28Speaker 1It's not the the number 1 thing I would I would say to take for muscle, but if it is, it's repairing us on a genetic level, right, on a very small level, and that transfers up to everything. And therefore, hey, we're gonna grow back from stress a lot better. And
10:44Speaker 0lifting weights, stressing your muscles out is just our response is to get bigger and stronger. Love it. So then now let's dig into it. Who would you say should take it? Who would you recommend
11:01Speaker 1especially as you're getting as you especially as you're getting older. Right? If you've lived a hard life
11:14Speaker 1how important you're feeling younger 40 should definitely be taking Yeah. Mean, I said don't take it if you're a little child,
11:26Speaker 0Yeah, like like we were talking about off camera the other day. It's just like, I mean, peptides in general, just because they're so beneficial and just so low risk for the most part. Yeah. There that question is pretty easy for most. Who should take it? Pretty much anybody, especially anybody
11:55Speaker 0Is there anybody that you can think of besides, you know, obviously, young kids like you just said? Is there anybody that probably
12:09Speaker 1I don't really I can't tell you. There's no there is no specific population. I mean, I'm
12:16Speaker 1yeah. I don't have a good I don't have a good answer. I don't know. There's nobody that shouldn't be taking it. I know that
12:21Speaker 1some some some be carefuls. Right? It's a if you know what niacin is, niacin is the stuff that's in
12:30Speaker 1I don't know, preworkouts that can make you real flush and tingly. I mean, the real tingle from preworkouts is from the beta alanine, not the niacin, but that's in there.
12:43Speaker 1you'll start to get tingly, a tingly sensation. And if you do too much, it will be overwhelming. How do you know? I've I've done it.
12:52Speaker 1I've done it because I like to experiment with things and go too much with them. Yeah. But, you know, and I slowly worked my way up and, yeah, I did a little too much,
13:11Speaker 1I've been through some weird things in my life, and so I knew just to breathe through it, I'll be fine. But I could see how somebody would have freaked out. But that's easy to avoid. But, like, that's easy to avoid. Right. Right. You just you start low and you just incrementally go up. We'll talk about dosing.
13:29Speaker 0Yeah. I mean, that's a good segue into the dosing. Let's talk about that because, I mean, if gosh, man, that's the 1 question that's a little bit
13:38Speaker 0hard to answer a lot of times pushing on social media channels because I don't know the legalities of dosages, but
13:45Speaker 0everybody wants to know, you know, what, how much do you take? I mean, what what is the proper range? And I know that's gonna really vary specifically on this 1 in particular.
13:59Speaker 1when you go to or if you go to 1 of these, like, medical facility and they do an IV they connect you to a, like, a banana bag and and do an IV drip in you, they're usually giving you 1000 mg.
14:19Speaker 1it'd be great to do it really quick, but if you squeeze the bag and it starts rushing into you, you will feel like fire ants going through your veins. Right. So,
14:34Speaker 1I guess, is generally maybe like a cycle. So so the goal if you're doing this at home,
14:39Speaker 1your goal ought to be doing 1000 mg at a time, however long that takes you. We'll talk about daily dosage, but but you're aiming for, hey, 1000 mg if that takes 2 months. Okay. Great.
14:52Speaker 1Then give your body a little break, maybe a month or 2 break, and then repeat. Now Yep. Daily,
15:47Speaker 1week. Longer than 2 weeks. So if we're saying 5 mg, bump by 5. So maybe 4 to 4 to 5 weeks and you should be at your max dose if that's 25 mg or if that's 50 mg.
16:00Speaker 0Yeah. You know, and then again, it's Like he said, you the protocol that we kinda at least follow and we believe in is run it for 1000 mg and then you can on top of the take and then run another thousand.
16:27Speaker 1You enter there's no problem. I know people who I have a friend who is a girl and she's like, I love the tingle feeling.
16:41Speaker 1quite high, whatever that is to make her, but she likes to feel really tingly when she does her injections.
16:48Speaker 1So it's really based on you and guys, I guess I would just say, hey, you start low and you progress and the goal is to take those
16:59Speaker 1as soon as you can, right? If you're doing it in a medical facility, they'll give it you you could do 1000 mg over an 8 hour period. Right. Yeah, yeah. So there's no need to not
17:10Speaker 0I mean, that really answers it. Yeah. I wouldn't do that if it wasn't, you weren't able to do it. So that lets you know that you can take higher dosage. You can. Yeah. You know what I mean? What would you say? I know that like a lot of people ask this in regards to
17:27Speaker 0There's many that you can run with NAD. I could go on and on for days. It kinda depends on what's your objective and that's the ones that we would want to like
18:11Speaker 1to I mean, L carnitine is a cool thing to stack onto everything. L carnitine essentially just prioritizes
19:06Speaker 0to answer that question because the questions that I get are very simple. I think it's just they don't people don't know what to ask, but what should I take? Well, 1, I don't know yet. 2, I have no idea what your objectives are, what you look like. So, you get the answer based upon your questions. So a better question is like, what are your objectives? What are you trying to accomplish? Because peptides,
19:26Speaker 0very soon everybody in my opinion, I'll speak for myself, everybody will be taking them. The science is amazing
19:32Speaker 0in the next couple years in my opinion. It's really going to start to shine even more than now because the qualities
19:45Speaker 0rad things that these peptides are doing. It's and we're just at the beginning, you know, I think in the next 5 years too,
19:56Speaker 1we, science is here and it's shining. Yep. And R and D is not gonna stop, man. R and D is is is speeding up everywhere.
20:08Speaker 1and it's gonna be and it's fun. I don't know. It's fun to it's fun to witness it, and and it's fun to experiment with it.
20:14Speaker 0Yeah, my, you know, kind of take a turn off into left field, but my wife, you know, she holds my son. Anybody that has seen my youngest son, we call him the tank for a reason. He's huge and my wife is tiny. So she carries this little tank around all day, and as you can imagine, her wrists are killing her.
20:38Speaker 0and she's blown away. It's just radically, radically helped her to where she's never really taken that type of a peptide to heal her. And she's just like blown away by it. It's just amazing. Now, what would a doctor do? What would a doctor do? You'd go to a doctor and he'd probably prescribe you at least ibuprofen 800.
20:54Speaker 0Some would prescribe her, you know, narcotics, man. So we're gonna that's old news. We're moving out of that and we're really getting to true
21:19Speaker 1not the only thing that you should be taking, right? We're not taking these peptides as just as get out of jail free and like drugs to do miracles, right? Yeah. Diet,
21:49Speaker 1which is going to make you look younger. It's gonna help I mean, when we put ourselves through stress, so that's fasting, that's saunas,
22:06Speaker 1you know, your body there's a lot to be said for your body having to warm itself up. So all of those high stress events are actually good for us,
22:14Speaker 1and they make they just so so NAD, they will increase your NAD levels, which is gonna increase your your cellular regeneration and your DNA
22:23Speaker 0Yeah. Favorably. Getting back to like some basics of just life. You know, our lives in the last 15 years, give or take, have been,
22:34Speaker 0the food industry that's just corrupt and the food is poisoned. It's making everybody sick. If we get back to some of the things that,
22:43Speaker 0you know, like Will said, cold plunge. I love it. You feel amazing. I mean, literally taking your shoes off and walking on the grass ground. I'm not kidding you, a few people don't do that, it's amazing. You feel connected,
22:56Speaker 0you really are connecting with the energy standing next to a tree. These are energies that literally help your body thrive. I know that's a little bit in left hip field, but that's true, man. We get back to the basics of
23:19Speaker 0Diet, diet, diet, diet is 90%. When you build a base of your foundation of a good solid diet,
23:26Speaker 0peptides work, exercise works. All these things work because your base is strong. People try to outwork a bad diet and it doesn't work. They don't see results so they quit.
23:41Speaker 1Yes. Get outside. I was raised by a I was my mother was a hippie, and I was raised to be outside and go on hikes. You know that's how I like to disappear.
23:51Speaker 1dude, that that is it's so important. I just always look at us. Look at us. Just think of it. Our bodies are still made as, like, cavemen. Okay? And we are going to work better.
24:32Speaker 0discomfort, discomfort's a key, really. Yeah, put yourself in in hard positions, man. There's if
24:40Speaker 0We are not supposed to be comfortable, so you need to put yourself in uncomfortable positions,
24:48Speaker 0Will, I love you buddy. I will see you soon. I'll be heading into the office, but that's the episode
24:53Speaker 0for this week. We will catch you on next rounds, next week's peptide of the week. Alright. What we got? Have a good day.
