Dr. Fab Mancini: Hi everyone. This is Dr. Fab Mancini, and today we're very excited, because we're on a mission to end chronic disease. And guess what? Today I have Rick Anson, one of the greatest innovators in nutrition, sharing with us the science behind the right ingredients that we put into our body. And Rick one of the things that many people usually coming to me is their obsession about anti aging, Aging Gracefully. But it's not only that they want to look younger. They want to feel younger. Many people right now are in their 40 and they're feeling like 80, yeah, but they're also meeting people that are in their 80 and they're feeling like they're 20. So from your perspective, in the world of science, of ingredients, what are you finding? Are some of the top ingredients that you have figured out can help the body in this anti aging process?

Yeah, I mean fat people all around the world want to live longer and live better, live healthier, right? And so when you look at that, and all the different effects that cause aging, right, these environmental toxins, or the water or the food or the the air that we're breathing, you look at this, and you, you have to look, I at least took a look at internal from within, right, natural, what? What sustains our life? What is, what's the difference? There is a difference between a biological and a chronological age. Right? You could be 75 but you could feel 45 we see it all the time. We see these athletes that are 40, playing like they're 20 and performing at the highest level, there's a difference, and what is, what causes that difference? Why is there that difference? And what are these people doing? And so I took the approach from within, and literally went to the cellular energy. Dr faub, starting at cellular energy, the life force for everyone, every living person, creature on this planet, and it starts with cellular energy, and starts with this ATP that you naturally, your body naturally produces energy, and this vital life source. And you look at that, and there's an ingredient that used to be found in our foods, right? It was a small amount, but it was there, and it helped nourish the cellular energy. But unfortunately, particularly in this country, United States of America, as no one needs to tell you that, Dr faub that we are nutrients are being stripped out of our food is full of preservatives. Our soil has been, you know, there's hardly little any farmland anymore. Their soil doesn't produce these nutrients, therefore the food. So when I looked at anti aging and longer life and the better life, I started with cellular energy, and this source called NAD, a lot of people are hearing now, and certain select athletes and certain select celebrities have had access and knowledge about NAD for a couple years now. Now it's becoming more well known and mainstream. And so you start with cellular energy, that's natural energy for brain function, for mental, physical well being. We took that and then we did studies around it of how you can increase that in your body naturally, and the sources around that, and we've sourced the finest precursors to NAD. So NAD is producing your body, but you have to have a precursor and another ingredient that works in your body to produce that NAD, and that's those precursors were generally found in foods, and now they're almost completely diminished or or gone from our foods. So we've created this amazing product lying around precursors, Nmm, that goes into your body and turns it into cellular energy, NAD, and we've added Dr fab, two other amazing ingredients that have been clinically shown to increase the uptake of the NAD into your body, into your cells, by 50%

Dr. Fab Mancini: Well, you know, one of the things that I Love is the fact that you went to the lowest, most foundational level possible, and that is our cells. And many times, you know, as individuals, right? We don't look at our bodies from a cellular perspective. Now as doctors, especially functional doctors that are holistic, that are natural, that are proactive that are looking for the root cause of the problem. This is all we do in our training. The reason I chose to be a doctor of chiropractic is because we're the leaders in the natural, holistic space. I wanted to play in that space, and for the last 38 years, I have but the problem is that most people don't. At their bodies as cells. They look at their organs or maybe even their systems, right? You look at your cardiovascular system, instead of looking at the heart or your arteries or your veins or something like that, you look at your respiratory system that you may think just your lungs, but there's so much more to the picture when you get down to the cell and then you start thinking about the function of each particular cell. You see our well being is really a component of many things working in Symphony, just like if you were the conductor of a symphony, right? The brain is conducting all of these organs, all of these systems, all of these cells to have a function. That function is critical to the body. The problem is that we dismiss it, because many times we're just trying to survive. We're trying to make it through the day. Look, you know, I have patients Rick that people tell me, you know, fab, you don't understand the level of stress that I'm going through. You don't understand my financial hardship. You don't understand, I'm in a abusive, demeaning relationship with my husband. You don't understand that my children are the worst, and they create so much chaos that I cannot sleep, I cannot be happy, I cannot be at peace any single day. But I'm here to tell you this. You can't control anybody except you. I've often said that you got to nurture your health so you can then be able to support the health of others. And I'm talking to you ladies, because I can tell you that as a woman, many times you think that you are the one that's going to take care of everybody, right? But you got to begin with yourself, and even if you got to wake up an hour before everybody else to nurture you, to work on your physical, emotional and spiritual being, to be able to feed your bank deposit enough things that are good, so then you have enough to give to those that you love, whether it's your work, your relationships, your children, your parents, etc. So Rick, when you start talking about aging and NAD, I mean, right now, a lot of people think you gotta have be a very fancy athlete or professional or CEO to be able to have that. Many people right now are doing NAD primarily through injections. I do see now that capsules have come into the picture, but you put them in a gummy, what were you thinking?

Well, when you look at reaching the masses, when you look at helping millions, 10s of millions of people, obviously that drip IV, that's six, $700 it takes four hours. Is not the solution. Capsules, in general, take three to four hours to even start to have a beneficial effect. Many, most capsules are contained at 50% fillers, so you flush half of that out of your body when you use the restroom. So that's not, that's not the answer, that's not a solution. That is that's basically marketing in many cases. So we looked at a form factor to put this NAD coupled with ginseng. Ginseng has been shown through the National Institute of Health that ginseng can help the absorption, the uptake of NAD into your body, in your cells and throughout your body, by up to 50% and then we added revisit trial, which is an amazing antioxidant, is so many benefits. So when you look at all that you want to add these ingredients to make it work, the most effective, the safest way, and the most convenient way for people, we choose a consumable. We choose a sugar free, vegan gummy that people can eat throughout the day. Children can eat it. Elderly can eat it. Anyone of any age can eat these gummies. They taste amazing. It's so hard to create a vegan and a sugar free gummy that tastes amazing. We've done that, and then you add, actually four we have another ingredient that's a derivative from beets called TMG. So you got Korean ginseng, TMG, revisit troll, and the perfect amount of NAD in your body. So where do you go with that? You put it into a great tasting form factor that everybody can consume on a daily basis, again, from children all the way to my father in law, who's 94 years old, that can eat these and get the absorption quickly in a form factor that makes sense, that you get these beneficial, anti aging, life changing ingredients in the product. Now, Dr Fauci, I talked about NAD having a precursor and goes into the body and has to work and and your cellular level, and that's all the science. And you add these amazing other ingredients, like revisit trauma and ginseng. But here. That's what's most important for everyone to understand. Well, you want to look more youthful because NAD has beauty properties for anti aging, wrinkles, age spot, skin elasticity, even hair and hair growth, hair restoration. Those are amazing benefits. But this put it simply, if you take NAD, and you take it in the form factor like we've created for people with the ginseng, with the revisit trial, that NAD will go into your cells. And think about this, since the first day of your life, you we've been exposed to different toxins, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and the plastic packaging that's associated with almost every food item that we get, those are all contributing pollutants and toxins in our body, NAD basically goes into those cells and can erase those pollutants since the first day of our life. That's why it's such an amazing ingredient, and the amazing product that you can go and erase pollutants, restore your cellular energy, that benefits all of these chronic illnesses, it stops those chronic illnesses. That's why I'm so excited about NAD and the way we've formulated add these ingredients, but it's so important to take it every single day to help cleanse and nourish your cells so you have proper natural energy for the best life, for quality of life, and for all those other benefits you know Dr faub as partners, but innovation promise. We will continue to add ingredients to these, to NAD products, everything to continually give you the best options and the best outcomes for your health and wellness and all your anti aging goals.

Dr. Fab Mancini: Well, you know for you that may be listening right now and you're in this longevity journey. I call it right right now. Longevity is a very big buzz world. The searches on longevity has increased in Google like crazy. And why is that? I believe that it starts by the fact that many people are concerned about how we're aging when you have 90% of the cost of healthcare being chronic disease, right? That is 90% of what we deal with in healthcare. And then on top of that, you got statistics like, by the age of 30, your muscle mass starts shrinking, losing up to 8% per decade, right? 30% by the age of 30, you start shrinking, and then by the age of 40, your collagen production is cut by half. Collagen is essential for your body to function and your joints to function properly. By the age of 50, your risk of serious chronic disease skyrockets. We have to reverse that. You know, I'm about to turn 60 this year, and I'm telling you, my body has regenerated, but I work at it. First of all, I chose a profession that I'm very passionate about. Yes, that is your health. I love chiropractic. I love wellness. I love functional medicine. I love everything that I get to do every single day. Second it has reminded me of what are the right mindsets and behaviors that I need to implement so that way I can live longer and healthier and thirdly, it has exposed me to the science of people like Rick Anson that has spent the last 20 years of his life in the world of nutraceuticals, working with some of the biggest companies in the world to ensure that you're getting the best possible ingredient that is science based that gets the results right right now, there's a lot of hybrid marketing and nutrition, but I want you to know if you're looking for a product that is helping you, NAD is on the top of the list for your anti aging component, and you're going To hear a lot more about it, because it works. Science has proven it. Now it's time for you to make it part of your daily routine. So thank you, Rick for having this time with me, and thank you for watching I hope this gave you a tremendous amount of value, and remember your choice today will determine how healthy you are tomorrow.
