0:00.0	What a family welcome to episode 143 of the Genius Life.
0:04.0	What's going on everybody welcome back to another episode of the Genius Life.
0:22.5	I'm your host Max Lugavira Filmmaker, Health & Science here and all, it's the author of
0:25.4	The New York Times best selling book Genius Foods and the Genius Life.
0:29.0	Today's guest is Dr. Charles Brenner, who was a major and I mean major contributor to
0:33.1	the research on nicotinamide adenine denuclearitya, aka NAD.
0:38.1	NAD is essential to life, it's how each of your cells generate energy.
0:42.4	No NAD, no life, it's as simple as that.
0:44.6	To that end he also discovered how a molecule called nicotinamide riboside or NR might boost
0:49.4	NAD for greater well-being.
0:51.2	Dr. Brenner is the chair of the new Department of Diabetes and Cancer Metabolism at the Beckman
0:55.6	Research Institute of the City of Hope National Medical Center and he's the Chief Scientific
1:00.6	Advisor for Chromodex.
1:02.6	In today's episode Dr. Brenner and I discuss what are nucleotides and why it's important
1:07.3	to understand how they work if we want to optimize our health and fend off disease and aging.
1:12.0	We chat through how ATP and ADP work together to drive the cellular machinery that makes
1:17.8	life possible.
1:19.1	Dr. Brenner explains the four forms of NAD and their functions.
1:22.7	We also ask whether supplementing with NAD, which can boost anabolic processes in the
1:27.2	body, puts you at risk for undesirable consequences like perhaps tumor growth.
1:31.7	We discuss metabolic stress, which we all endure and how to counter it.
1:35.6	And then finally we cover what sets the different types of vitamin B3, which includes nicotinic
