Summer may be winding down, but what’s happening inside your body doesn’t change with the calendar. 🍂

Over the last few weeks, we’ve talked about NAD+, NMN, VO₂ max, recovery, and cellular energy.

And there’s a reason these conversations belong together.

Your cells are constantly working behind the scenes—using nutrients, producing energy, responding to activity, and supporting the countless processes your body depends on every day.

That’s why cellular health isn’t just a fitness conversation or an aging conversation.

It’s part of the bigger picture of how we support our bodies throughout life.

This September, we’re going a little deeper into that picture—and connecting what happens inside our cells with how the whole body functions.

💬 What part of cellular health are you most curious about?

We often talk about NAD+ as though it’s something associated only with aging.

But there’s a much bigger story.

NAD+ is already part of what your cells are doing every day. ⚡

It’s a coenzyme involved in cellular metabolism and plays an important role in processes connected to how cells produce and use energy.

Think about everything your body asks of your cells during an ordinary day.

Walking. Thinking. Digesting. Exercising. Recovering. Repairing.

There’s an enormous amount happening behind the scenes.

That’s one reason NAD+ has become such an interesting area of research: scientists are continuing to investigate its role in cellular function and how NAD+ biology changes across the lifespan.

So instead of thinking:
“Why should I care about NAD+ as I get older?”

Maybe the more interesting question is:
“What is NAD+ already doing inside my cells right now?” 🔬

And that’s where this conversation gets really interesting.

We've talked about what happens inside the cell.

Now let's zoom out. 🫁

Your cells also need oxygen to support aerobic energy production.

Getting that oxygen where it needs to go requires several systems to work together.

Your lungs bring oxygen into the body.
Your heart and blood vessels help transport it.
Your muscles extract and use oxygen during activity.

And this is where VO₂ max enters the conversation.

VO₂ max reflects the maximum rate at which your body can take in, transport, and use oxygen during intense exercise.

So while NAD+ and VO₂ max measure or describe very different things, they help us look at wellness from two fascinating perspectives:

🔬 What's happening at the cellular level
🫁 How effectively the whole body performs as a system

Healthy aging isn't about one number.

It's about understanding how all of these systems work together.

Your body is constantly balancing thousands of processes every day.

Electrolytes are one example of how different nutrients work together.

Sodium + potassium

Chloride + calcium

Magnesium + other minerals

Each has a role.

The goal isn’t to find one “perfect” nutrient—it’s to understand how the pieces work together.

Which electrolyte should we dive into next?

If NAD+ is important to our cells, the next question is pretty natural:

Where does it come from? 🔬

Your body has several pathways it can use to make and recycle NAD+.

And one molecule researchers have been especially interested in is NMN — nicotinamide mononucleotide.

NMN is known as an NAD+ precursor, meaning it can be used along the pathway the body uses to produce NAD+.

That's what makes the NMN conversation so interesting.

Researchers aren't simply studying another nutrient in isolation.

They're studying a molecule connected to a much larger system involving NAD+ metabolism, cellular energy, and aging biology.

There are still important questions being studied, especially when it comes to what changes in NAD+ biology mean for human health over time.

But understanding the pathway gives us a much better foundation for understanding why NMN has received so much attention.

NMN → NAD+ → cellular processes

Sometimes understanding the pathway makes the whole conversation a lot easier to follow. 🧬

The more we learn about the human body, the harder it becomes to look at wellness as one isolated thing. 🔄

NAD+ helps us explore what's happening at the cellular level.

NMN helps us understand one pathway the body can use to make NAD+.

VO₂ max gives us a completely different view—how effectively the body can deliver and use oxygen during intense exercise.

Then there are all the everyday things surrounding those systems.
Movement. 🚶
Nutrition. 🥗
Sleep. 🌙
Recovery. 💪
Hydration. 💧

None of them tells the whole story by itself.

And maybe that's one of the most useful lessons in healthy aging:
There isn't one number, molecule, supplement, or habit that defines how well we're aging.

The body is a collection of systems constantly working together.

The more we understand those connections, the better questions we can start asking about our own wellness.

💬 If your body had a dashboard, what would you want to understand better: cellular energy, oxygen efficiency, strength, sleep/recovery, or hydration?

There are so many wellness recommendations online that it's easy to wonder where you should focus first.

That's why I love tools that help make wellness more personal.



The BioAge Assessment is designed to give you a personalized BioAge score and highlight which of the five longevity pathways may benefit from the most support. Rather than guessing, it gives you a better understanding of where you are today so you can make informed decisions about your next steps. It's educational, personalized, and completely free.

💬 If you'd like to take the FREE BioAge Assessment, comment BIOAGE or send me a message, and I'll send it over.

I’ve been learning more about VO₂ max lately, and I have to admit, I used to think it was basically just a fancy fitness score.

It’s actually much more interesting than that.

VO₂ max is a measure of how much oxygen your body can use during intense exercise.

And getting that oxygen where it needs to go is a team effort.

Your lungs bring it in.
Your heart and blood vessels move it around.
Your muscles use it.

So when you look at VO₂ max, you're really getting a glimpse at how several parts of your body work together.

I love learning about things like this because it makes “being healthy” feel a lot less abstract.

Sometimes a number can tell us a pretty interesting story about what’s happening inside our bodies.

Here’s a VO₂ max fact I found pretty fascinating:
It isn't just something athletes pay attention to.

Researchers have found a strong association between cardiorespiratory fitness and longevity.

In other words, people with higher levels of fitness tend to have lower mortality risk than those with very low fitness.

That doesn't mean your VO₂ max number predicts how long you're going to live, there are obviously a lot of factors involved in that story.

But it does make you think differently about fitness.

Maybe being able to walk farther, climb stairs more easily, or keep up with the activities you enjoy isn't just about “being fit.”

Maybe it's also about building a little more capacity for the life you want to live.

And honestly, that's a much more motivating reason to move than chasing a number on a treadmill.

I always thought of cardio as being mostly about the heart and lungs.

Then I learned more about VO₂ max.

Turns out, there's quite a team involved.

Your lungs have to bring oxygen in.
Your heart and blood vessels have to deliver it.
Your muscles have to receive it.
And your cells have to put that oxygen to work.

So VO₂ max isn't really a measurement of just one part of you.

It's more like a snapshot of how well this whole system works together during demanding activity.

I think that's what makes it so interesting.

Our bodies are doing incredibly complicated things every time we take a brisk walk or climb a flight of stairs and most of the time, we don't even think about it.
