Maintaining high levels of NAD in the body is essential for preventing or slowing the decline of cognitive function and overall health during aging.
“If you can maintain, in my judgment, if you can maintain your NAD levels within your brain at a high level, you will forall or slow down the degradation of your of your thinking process, of your mental process.”
Jim Kwik · Mar 2026 · 1 episode · 16K views on this topicProviding the body with glutathione reduces the metabolic demand for ATP production, leading to increased cellular energy levels.
“If I give you glutathione the way it's supposed to be inside your cells, your body doesn't have to produce any more of glutathione. Guess what? It spares the two molecules of ATP.”
Jim Kwik · Feb 2026 · 1 episode · 10K views on this topicElevating NAD levels improves mitochondrial biogenesis and enhances the energy yield of existing mitochondria.
“We have studies that show that when you elevate NAD by with NR, you not only have an increase in mitochondrial biogenesis, you have more mitochondria, but you have a higher yield per mitochondria. It actually creates actual energy without creating more calories.”
Max Lugavere · Jan 2026 · 1 episode · 6K views on this topicMolecular hydrogen, red light, PEMF, and oxygen are among the best tools for enhancing mitochondrial function.
“So that's pretty cool. Now we know how hydrogen is actually helping. So it would be like near the top of the totem pole along with things like red light or PMF or oxygen to enhance your mitochondrial function.”
Ben Greenfield Life · Jan 2026 · 2 episodes · 3K views on this topicModern life often requires the use of targeted supplementation to ensure mitochondrial health because environmental and lifestyle factors have degraded the microbiome compared to previous generations.
“Guys, we have to supplement. It's not even a question anymore. If we want to have a healthy life and a health span, regardless of what happens with, you know, medical ascension and AI tools and health technologies and all these things are great, but at the end of the day, we don't have the microbiom”

Vigorous intensity exercise is one of the most powerful stimulators of mitochondrial biogenesis due to the metabolic stress induced by lactate production.
“vigorous intensity exercise like high-intensity high-intensity interval training I mentioned um it's one of the most powerful stimulators of mitochondrial biogenesis this has to do with the metabolic stress that is induced from vigorous inity exercise the lactate itself again lactate is a signaling ”
FoundMyFitness · Dec 2023 · 2 episodes · 943K views on this topicTraining the mitochondria through Zone 2 exercise is a critical strategy for delaying the deterioration associated with aging.
“it's my belief that this is the most important place to be training your mitochondria and if we understand that mitochondrial function and the deterioration of mitochondrial function is one of the hallmarks of aging then anything we can do to delay that process and enhance mitochondrial function it'”
The Peter Attia Drive · Apr 2021 · 3 episodes · 658K views on this topicCold exposure stimulates mitobiogenesis, which recruits brown fat and improves overall metabolic function.
“When you do ice baths and you're doing them every day, you stimulate what's called mitobiogenesis. You will recruit new brown fat into your body. You will improve your insulin sensitivity. You will fix your metabolism.”
