Explore NAD+ ➜
​Many chronic conditions share a common root: mitochondrial dysfunction. Understanding how NAD fuels cellular repair and energy production can shift how we approach fatigue, recovery, and long-term health.
In the realm of holistic and integrative medicine, NAD IV infusion therapy is emerging as a promising approach to address a variety of chronic conditions, including chronic fatigue, post-COVID syndrome, Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), as well as chronic gut and bowel issues and substance use disorders such as alcoholism. This innovative therapy leverages the power of NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), a vital coenzyme found in every cell of your body, to enhance mitochondrial function and promote overall well-being.

Understanding NAD and Its Role in the Body
NAD is a crucial coenzyme that plays a significant role in cellular energy production. It is involved in redox reactions, which are essential for converting nutrients into energy within the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell. Beyond energy production, NAD is also vital for DNA repair, gene expression, and maintaining the health of our cells. As we age or face chronic health challenges, NAD levels can decline, leading to decreased cellular function and vitality. In theory, the mechanism of getting sick and getting well again is the cycle for NAD production however when we are chronically ill, this mechanism becomes defective and chronically ill patients tend to need replenishment of their NAD stores.

The Benefits of NAD Supplementation
1. Chronic Fatigue: NAD helps boost energy levels by enhancing mitochondrial function, which can be particularly beneficial for those suffering from chronic fatigue. By improving the efficiency of energy production, NAD can help alleviate the persistent tiredness associated with this condition.

2. Post-COVID Syndrome: Many individuals experience lingering symptoms after recovering from COVID-19. NAD's role in cellular repair and immune function can aid in recovery and help restore energy levels, potentially alleviating post-viral fatigue and other symptoms.

3. Lyme Disease: Lyme disease can lead to chronic inflammation and fatigue. NAD's anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to support cellular repair processes can be beneficial in managing these symptoms and promoting recovery.

4. Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV): EBV can cause prolonged fatigue and immune dysfunction. NAD supports the immune system and helps in the repair of damaged cells, which can be crucial in managing the long-term effects of EBV.

5. Chronic Gut and Bowel Issues, prior alcohol/substance use disorder: NAD plays a role in maintaining the integrity of the gut lining and supporting the function of the digestive system. By enhancing cellular repair and reducing inflammation, NAD can contribute to improved gut health.

NAD IV Infusion Therapy at Our Practice
At our medical practice, under the expert care of our Co-Founder and CEO, Kara Dobelis, we offer NAD IV infusion therapy at a much higher dose than typically found in self-concierge IV locations. Kara offers a medically guided treatment designed to maximize the benefits of NAD supplementation and is tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient. The therapy takes about two weeks to complete, ensuring a comprehensive approach to restoring vitality and health. 


If you're ready to explore the benefits of NAD IV infusion therapy, we invite you to contact our office to schedule a 30-minute consultation with our provider. These consultations are billable to insurance, providing an accessible entry point to this transformative therapy. While the cost of the NAD infusions is not billable to insurance, you may use HSA or FSA accounts to cover the expenses.

Take the first step towards revitalizing your health and well-being. Contact us today to schedule your NAD consult and discover how this innovative therapy can support your journey to optimal health.
