Combine Creatine With THIS To Fight The Root Cause of Aging | Andrew Salzman : 1474
The Human Upgrade: Biohacking for Longevity & Performance
Aging originates in the gut, where progressive inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction create a permeable barrier that allows bacterial toxins like flagellin to circulate and induce systemic damage. This process depletes NAD, primarily through the upregulation of the enzyme CD38 and PARP activation during DNA repair. To maintain cellular resilience, the body relies on creatine phosphate as a rapid energy shuttle, delivering ATP to high-demand "hotspots" like synaptic junctions and intestinal linings. Dr. Andrew Salzman, a leading expert in bioenergetics and DNA repair, emphasizes that restoring gut integrity requires managing these energetic distribution networks and reducing inflammatory triggers. By optimizing NAD levels and ensuring adequate creatine availability, individuals can potentially mitigate the cumulative damage of aging, preserving tissue function and preventing the irreversible structural collapse of the intestinal barrier.
