The Science
of Cellular Health
Research shows NAD+ levels decline significantly with age, correlating with decreased energy, cognitive function, and cellular repair capacity. Preclinical studies demonstrate that restoring NAD+ levels may support cardiovascular health, muscle function, and metabolic improvement. Human trials are underway to confirm these benefits.

Here’s what to expect
Month 1 — Assessment
Mapping Your Biological Age
Comprehensive labs go beyond standard panels to assess metabolic health, inflammation markers, and cellular health indicators. Body composition baseline established. NAD+ therapy begins to restore cellular energy production.
Advanced longevity lab panel
Body composition and baseline metrics
NAD+ peptide therapy initiated
Supplement protocol recommendations
Wellness coaching: Sleep, stress, nutrition foundations
Month 2 — Restoration
Cellular Energy Returns
NAD+ levels are rebuilding. Many patients notice improved mental clarity, better sleep quality, and more sustained energy. Regenerative peptide added (Tier 2) to support recovery and tissue repair. This is the "feeling younger" phase.
NAD+ therapy continues (dose optimization)
Regenerative peptide added (BPC-157, TB-500, or similar)
Elite Energy IV with glutathione (Tier 2)
Wellness coaching: Movement and recovery optimization
Early improvements in energy, sleep, cognition
Month 3 — Optimization
Building Your Longevity Protocol
Lab recheck shows measurable improvements in metabolic markers. Your personalized longevity protocol is established for ongoing optimization. Discussion of advanced strategies: hormone optimization, additional peptides, or biohacking tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NAD+ and why does it matter for aging?

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every cell that's essential for energy production, DNA repair, and cellular health. Research shows NAD+ levels decline by ~50% by middle age, correlating with fatigue, cognitive decline, and aging. Restoring NAD+ through peptide therapy may support mitochondrial function, brain health, and metabolic resilience.

Is there solid science behind longevity treatments?

NAD+ restoration is one of the most researched areas in longevity science, with studies from institutions like Harvard and Washington University. Animal studies show significant benefits for cardiovascular health, muscle function, and cognition. Human trials are ongoing and promising, though we're honest that this field is still evolving. We use evidence-based protocols and track your results.

What results can I realistically expect?

Most patients report improved energy, mental clarity, better sleep, and faster recovery within 4-8 weeks. Some notice improved skin quality and reduced inflammation. We track objective markers (labs, body composition) alongside subjective improvements. Evolve is about optimizing how you age—results compound over time with consistent protocol adherence.

How is Evolve different from just taking supplements?

Oral NAD+ precursors (like NMN or NR supplements) have limited bioavailability. Our peptide-based NAD+ therapy delivers more directly to cells, often producing faster and more noticeable results. We also combine NAD+ with regenerative peptides, IV therapy, and lab monitoring—a comprehensive approach that over-the-counter supplements can't match.

Who is Evolve designed for?
Evolve is ideal for biohackers, high performers, and health-conscious individuals who want to optimize how they age—not just treat symptoms. It's also great for patients already on other Vela programs (Align, Prime) who want to add longevity optimization. If you're curious about peptides, NAD+, and cutting-edge wellness science, Evolve is your program.
