Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, I reached out to my provider at La Chelé in search of some type of energy supplement. Despite trying everything from yoga to supplements, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of low mood, inability to focus, and a ravenous appetite. I was functioning less than optimally, but I couldn’t get back on track to feeling like myself. Was it post-COVID “brain fog” I keep reading about, or just being older? I had my recent physical with my primary physician, and all my bloodwork appeared to be normal. My sleep schedule was off, I was moody, and I didn’t feel like my optimized self.

During a consultation at La Chelé, my provider recommended trying NAD+ shots as a potential remedy. NAD+ supplementation has some clinical data showing that as it declines with age, our bodies do not function at their same peak level. The more I read about it online, I realized that it is the new “it” longevity and energy supplement. Longevity medicine is apparently a hot emerging field at Northwestern Medical and many other big academic centers, where NAD+ is front and center.

NAD+ is a crucial energy enzyme responsible for cellular processes like metabolism, DNA repair, and overall cell health. My provider reviewed my medical history and explained that though supplements are a great start, they must be absorbed by the stomach first and make their way into the body, which can limit the amount of nutrients they can provide. This means despite our best efforts, we can still be low on this essential fuel. Unlike supplements, NAD+ shots deliver the molecule directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the stomach for optimal absorption. In short, NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) helps our cells produce energy and repair damage.

After discussing my goals with a medical provider, I decided to try a month of shots to see if I felt some relief from my symptoms. If I liked it, I would learn how to administer these supplements to myself at home through their prescriptive program. My provider explained that when our levels are correct, we can feel more energized, less tired, and experience less brain fog.

Other benefits extend beyond energy boosts and include:

  • Promised improved sleep patterns.
  • Reduced inflammation.
  • Better appetite regulation.
  • A shield against chronic and metabolic conditions like insulin resistance and weight gain.
  • By maintaining optimal NAD+ levels, our cells can thrive with increased energy, and age-related decay can also be reduced. This, in turn, allows for better repair of DNA, promotes healthy cell growth, and stimulates cell regeneration.

Eager to experience if I would see some relief from symptoms, I scheduled an appointment. Nestled in a cozy chair, I closed my eyes as my provider swiftly administered the shot into my

abdomen. A warm sensation swept over me—an expected reaction, as discussed during my consultation. After monitoring my vitals post-treatment, I felt invigorated, as though my cells had awakened from a deep slumber, replenished with vital nutrients.

Excited to see what this miracle treatment could do for me, I left the office with a new sense of self. In the weeks that followed after a few more supplementation shots, I noticed remarkable changes. My sleep was more restorative, my focus sharper, and my energy levels sustained throughout the day. Hunger pains felt more manageable, and a newfound alertness permeated my being. Opting for NAD+ injections at La Chelé was undoubtedly a transformative choice—I reclaimed my old self and discovered a version that felt even better.
