These two compounds are making waves in the world of health and longevity. Let's break it down and see what all the hype is about. The Basics: Our bodies use NMN, or nicotinamide mononucleotide, to create NAD+, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. This compound is found in every cell and is essential for energy metabolism, gene expression, and DNA repair. Plus, NAD+ might help prevent the shortening of telomeres, which could slow down the aging process. As we age, our NAD+ levels decline. Supplementing with NMN might boost these levels, promoting healthy aging and longevity. Lower NAD+ levels have been linked to quicker physical decline and the onset of age-related diseases, like Alzheimer’s. There are other NAD+ precursors like niacin and NR, but NMN is a direct precursor and can enhance our NAD+ levels ...

Low Carb Cheesy Zucchini Bread


2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon powdered seasoning mix of your choice*
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
2 and 1/2 cups shredded cheese of your choice**
1/4 cup melted butter
1 zucchini, shredded

*I use a pre-made mix of my own, that has onion powder, garlic powder, ground sage, and ground rosemary, with a dash of black pepper.

**I use provolone cheese.

Mix together all ingredients except cheese, butter & zucchini until batter is thick and smooth. Place shredded cheese on top of mixture. Drizzle with melted butter. Stir until smooth. Add shredded zucchini and stir until completely incorporated.

Place in a buttered silicone loaf pan and bake at 350 F (175 C) for 30 to 35 minutes.

Cool in pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto a plate or cutting board. Cool completely. Slice and serve. If you slice into 12 pieces, each piece will have approximately 4 carbs.
