How NAD+ Boosters Keep My Cells Energized: My Experience
As someone who's passionate about health and wellness, I've been fascinated by the science behind NAD+ and its role in cellular energy and repair. After researching and trying NAD+ precursor supplements like NMN and NR, I wanted to share my experience and key takeaways: NAD+ is like a rechargeable battery for our cells, powering metabolism and repair processes. As we age, our NAD+ levels naturally decline. I've found that supplementing with precursors helps keep my cellular 'batteries' charged. Beyond energy, NAD+ acts as a repair crew for our DNA and helps our cells respond to stress. Since starting supplementation, I've noticed improvements in my energy levels and recovery. A few tips from my routine: • I take NMN in the morning with breakfast • I combine supplementation with regular exercise and a healthy diet • Consistency is key - I take it daily for best results While more research is still needed, NAD+ boosters have become an important part of my wellness regimen. I'm excited to see how the science develops!jean9

Feeling torn about my partner's career aspirations
My partner (32M) and I (30F) have been together for 3 years. He's passionate about fitness and nutrition and wants to become a full-time wellness coach and blogger. He has a kinesiology degree and is very knowledgeable about health topics. I believe he could create great content and help people. The issue is he's passing up good career opportunities to pursue coaching full-time, even though he's only in the early stages of building his online presence. Currently he works as a personal trainer at a gym making around $45k annually, but says he dislikes the corporate environment. The gym offers a paid certification program to become a fitness manager, but he's not interested because his dream is to be self-employed. He wants to focus all his free time on creating content and growing his social media following rather than getting additional certifications. He's convinced his blog and coaching business will take off soon and allow him to quit his job. But I worry he doesn't realize how long it can take to build a successful online business, and how challenging it is to make a stable income. We want to buy a house in the next few years and enjoy more financial freedom. Right now we're in a small apartment and are doing okay, but can't afford many extras. I'm concerned he's limiting our future by not advancing in his current field while he pursues his passion. I fully support his dreams, but I also think it would be wise to move up at work for more stability as he builds his business on the side. How can I discuss this without discouraging him? Am I wrong to think he should consider job advancement over his passion? I want to be supportive but also practical about our goals.jean9

Effective bodyweight exercises for building strength at home?
Hi everyone, I'm looking for some guidance on bodyweight exercises I can do at home on my yoga mat. My main goal is to become more active and incorporate strength training to build and maintain muscle. I do a fair amount of walking already, but want to step it up. I have some light dumbbells, but I'm particularly interested in bodyweight routines. Has anyone here had success improving their physique with just bodyweight exercises? I'd love to hear your experiences. Can you recommend any trustworthy YouTube channels or videos with good bodyweight workouts for building strength and muscle? There are so many options out there, it's hard to know which ones to trust. For reference, I'm a woman in my 30s, around 140 lbs. I try to get enough protein in my diet, but I know I'd need to focus more on nutrition to see real muscle gains. I'm mostly curious if bodyweight exercises alone have the potential to help me add some muscle definition. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice!jean9

Tips for taking minocycline with food or drink? (Trouble swallowing pills)
Hi everyone, I'm having trouble taking my minocycline pills. I tried with just water but got esophagitis. Then I tried applesauce, but read that vitamin C can affect absorption. Next I tried non-dairy yogurt, but saw calcium can bind to it. The yogurt only had 2% calcium, so maybe that's okay? Any other ideas for what I can mix it with? I can't have dairy. I'm halfway through my 2-week course and really want to make sure it's absorbed properly to clear up this infection. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!jean9
