I get asked what my routine actually looks like, so here it is. Not as a prescription for what you should do, but as a real example of how one person integrates multiple wellness tools without it becoming a full-time job.
The Foundation
Before I added anything, I had to get the basics to a level where they weren’t actively working against me:
- Sleep: 7 to 8 hours, consistent bedtime, phone out of the bedroom
- Movement: 4 days a week minimum, mix of walking and resistance training
- Food: not perfect, but mostly whole foods and enough protein
NAD+ on top of a broken foundation isn’t very useful. I got the foundation into reasonable shape first, then added therapies on top of it.
GLP-1 (Weekly)
I inject semaglutide once a week, typically Sunday evening. This handles the hunger regulation piece. I’m not fighting my appetite the way I was before. Meals are smaller without effort. That change alone freed up a significant amount of mental energy.
NAD+ (Per Protocol)
I inject NAD+ on a schedule my GobyMeds provider set based on my specific health picture. I’m not going to give you a specific dosing schedule here because that’s something to work out with a provider, not copy from a blog post.
What I’ll say is that the administration is simple and fits into a morning routine without much added time. It becomes unremarkable quickly, the same way GLP-1 did after the first few weeks.
What I Notice When I Miss It
The best test of whether something is working is noticing when you stop. When I’ve gone more than a week without NAD+, the afternoon energy drop is more pronounced and workout recovery is slower. That’s enough signal for me to keep it in the rotation.
What I Don’t Do
I don’t take every supplement that gets recommended. I don’t stack things without understanding why. I don’t chase the latest trend without asking whether it addresses something I’m actually experiencing.
The goal is the smallest number of interventions that produce the result. Right now that’s GLP-1, NAD+, and the basics. That’s enough.
