At 4Ever Young Scottsdale, we meet women every day who feel like they’re doing everything right—working hard, eating well, trying to get enough sleep—and still waking up exhausted. For many, the issue isn’t a lack of discipline. It’s a lack of energy at the cellular level.

That’s where NAD therapy comes in.

This case study follows the journey of a 31-year-old female patient who arrived at our center struggling with deep fatigue, brain fog, poor digestion, low mood, and dull skin. Through a customized NAD therapy plan, she didn’t just see change—she experienced a full-body reset.

Here’s how her story unfolded, and why NAD might be the missing piece in your own vitality journey.

Meet the Patient: 31, Exhausted, and Ready for Change

When this patient first came to our Scottsdale center, she described herself as “wired but tired.” She was constantly fatigued, yet struggling to fall asleep. Her energy was low, her digestion was inconsistent, and she felt like her skin had lost its glow. But what bothered her most was the mental cloudiness.

She shared:

“I had a hard time focusing. I couldn’t stay present in conversations. I wasn’t myself.”

At just 31 years old, she knew something was off—but nothing she tried seemed to work. That’s when she met Tessa, our wellness specialists, who helped her uncover the deeper issue.

Symptoms at Intake

➤ Chronic fatigue despite 7–8 hours of sleep
➤ Persistent brain fog and lack of mental clarity
➤ Dull, dry skin
➤ Disrupted digestion and bloating
➤ Weight gain and poor metabolism
➤ Restlessness and difficulty relaxing
➤ Low motivation and mood swings

She wasn’t looking for a cosmetic fix. She wanted to feel alive again—focused, energized, and emotionally present.

Clinical Insight: When Energy Loss Goes Beyond Burnout

Tessa quickly recognized that this wasn’t just emotional stress or a bad diet. Her symptoms pointed to something more systemic: mitochondrial dysfunction and depleted NAD levels.

NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that fuels nearly every metabolic process in the body. It plays a crucial role in:

➤ Energy production (ATP synthesis)
➤ DNA repair and cellular longevity
➤ Brain function and neurotransmitter activity
➤ Metabolism and fat oxidation
➤ Immune support and inflammation response

As we age—or experience high stress, poor sleep, environmental toxins, or overtraining—NAD levels decline. This leads to poor cellular performance and the symptoms this patient was experiencing.

Tessa explained:

“She didn’t need a stimulant or a cleanse—she needed cellular restoration. We had to go in at the mitochondrial level and rebuild her energy from the inside out.”

Treatment Plan: A Layered NAD Therapy Approach

Rather than one-size-fits-all, we developed a multi-phase plan that included several modes of NAD delivery.

➤ Daily NAD precursor supplement: To gently increase NAD synthesis at home
➤ Weekly NAD+ injections: A quick, efficient boost to support energy and clarity
➤ Monthly NAD IV therapy: High-dose delivery to deeply restore cellular function
➤ Micronutrient and hydration support: To enhance absorption and mitochondrial support
➤ Lifestyle guidance: Sleep optimization, anti-inflammatory diet, and stress management

This approach allowed us to address both short-term energy and long-term repair.

Real Results: A Patient’s Testimonial

After just a few weeks of therapy, she noticed her brain fog lifting. Over the next few months, her body caught up—and everything changed.

“Since I started NAD, I’ve noticed significant differences. My brain fog is completely gone and I’m able to live my life presently and in the moment. I feel like I’ve unlocked a new level of vitality.”

Watch her share her journey in her own words and see how NAD helped her go from surviving to thriving.

“Working with Tessa has been amazing. She helped me understand what my body needed—and I’ve never felt more supported.”

Today, this patient reports:

➤ Consistent, sustainable energy throughout the day
➤ Restful sleep and easy wake-ups
➤ Clearer skin with a healthy glow
➤ Regular digestion and better nutrient absorption
➤ A metabolism that’s finally responding again
➤ A more balanced, resilient emotional state

This wasn’t just symptom relief. This was a full-body reactivation—from the cellular level up.

Why NAD Is a Game-Changer for Women in Their 30s and Beyond

While NAD therapy is often talked about in the context of anti-aging, it’s just as valuable for younger women—especially those experiencing:

➤ High levels of career or caregiver stress
➤ Burnout from overtraining or under-fueling
➤ Brain fog despite good sleep
➤ Weight that won’t budge despite healthy habits
➤ Skin that looks tired, dull, or inflamed
➤ Cycles of crash dieting or stimulant use
➤ Recovery struggles or plateaued workouts

In many of these cases, the root isn’t willpower—it’s biochemistry. And NAD addresses the biochemistry that traditional solutions often ignore.

How NAD Therapy Works

NAD works by entering your cells and activating metabolic pathways that repair, restore, and energize. Think of it as charging your body’s battery—on a molecular level.

Here’s what it does:

➤ Boosts energy production: By fueling mitochondria, your cells’ power plants
➤ Improves mental clarity: Through neurotransmitter regulation and neural repair
➤ Supports weight loss: By enhancing fat oxidation and metabolism
➤ Stimulates anti-aging pathways: Like sirtuins, which protect DNA and reduce cellular damage
➤ Reduces inflammation: Helping with joint pain, brain fog, and immune resilience
➤ Restores balance: To hormones, sleep cycles, and nervous system responses

Unlike caffeine or quick fixes, NAD doesn’t stimulate—it restores. That’s why patients describe feeling not hyped, but clear and grounded.

FAQs About NAD Therapy

Is NAD therapy safe?
Yes. NAD is a naturally occurring coenzyme. When administered by a licensed medical provider, it is safe and well-tolerated.

How long does it take to see results?
Some patients feel better after their first IV. Most experience noticeable benefits within 2–4 weeks of consistent therapy.

How long do results last?
Benefits can last weeks to months. Many patients choose to continue monthly maintenance doses or take oral precursors in between.

Will it help with weight loss?
It supports fat metabolism, so many patients see improved body composition. It’s not a weight-loss drug, but it enhances the body’s natural ability to burn fat efficiently.

Does NAD therapy hurt?
NAD IVs can be administered slowly to reduce any discomfort. Injections are quick and typically painless.

Can I combine NAD with other treatments?
Absolutely. We often combine NAD with peptides, HRT, vitamin therapy, and medical weight loss for the best overall outcome.
