In this episode of The Anti-Social Doctors Podcast, we dig into why body composition testing is suddenly everywhere—from gyms to clinics—and why it’s sparking big opinions online. We share the real patient moments that prompted this conversation, talk about the promises that get made (and why they’re so appealing), and explore what we think patients and clinicians should keep in mind before treating these reports like gospel. We also tease the differences between common testing methods, why “more data” isn’t always better, and the questions we wish were answered before body comp is treated like a routine vital sign. If you’re curious, skeptical, or feeling overwhelmed by health metrics, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we dig into the viral buzz around NAD+ and its precursors and ask the big question: are supplements or IV “drips” actually worth it? We share a real patient story that captures why these promises feel so tempting—especially when you’re anxious, exhausted, or desperate to feel better. We also discuss the surprising gap between what’s commonly claimed online and what’s actually been studied, including what we found when we looked closely at the available research and the red flags that stood out. If you’ve been curious about NAD+ for energy, longevity, recovery, or “inflammation,” this is the nuanced, evidence-focused conversation you’ve been looking for.

CORRECTION: In this episode we discussed the 2022 FDA ban on NMN being sold as a dietary supplement because it had been authorized for investigation as a drug. However, in September 2025, after industry petitions and a lawsuit, the FDA reversed this decision and concluded NMN can be marketed as a supplement after all.
