At the end of the day, the most important thing to us is that our kids are happy and fulfilled. That's what matters to us. We don't care what the conduit is to get there. As a matter of fact, one of our most important parenting strategies is we provide our children with shelter and food on their plate into their adulthood. We don't want them to have to worry about putting a roof over their head and putting food on their plate. That's an easy thing to do.

We provide that, and then here's the deal.

Go out there and find out what you were put on this earth for. Figure out how you're going to create a path to happiness, balance, success and fulfillment.

Welcome to the show.

You know, I don't think it's any secret that I am and have been, for quite some time, a fan of this anti-aging strategy of using NAD to protect the cells and to enhance the health of the mitochondria. There was a form of NAD that was mentioned when I interviewed Tony Robbins, called NAD3. We talked about it, I was intrigued about it. I didn't know anybody that was actually making it.

But that, along with two other ingredients, one called spermidine and one called resveratrol, also came up in that interview and are also kind of like the darlings of the anti-aging industry right now. Spermidine, resveratrol and NAD. Well, what we talked about in that podcast was how there's this very unique new form of NAD called NAD3. It's a licensed NAD ingredient, huge amount of bioavailability. And when combined with spermidine and resveratrol, this is like an unrivaled formula for anybody who wants to enhance aging using NAD and using a very unique bioabsorbable form of it. So this company called Biostack Labs formulated this stuff. It's called NAD Regen. It's not NAD, it's NAD3. So NAD Regen is actually the only formula in the world to use NAD3, which is a licensed ingredient with human trials behind it. But they've combined that with a special form of spermidine along with resveratrol and niacinamide. So all these ingredients put together are like freaking food for the mitochondria and act as very unique, very effective cellular protectants to enhance anti-aging and longevity. It's a pretty unrivaled formula, very unique blend. So again, it's NAD3, but then it's also got spermidine, resveratrol and niacinamide in it. And they're cutting a solid deal. Basically, two bottles of this stuff costs about $134.

And what happens is if you order, they're going to give you another free bottle. So that extra free bottles were $67. Pretty good deal. You go to biostacklabs.com/ben, biostacklabs.com/ben. I do about five days on, two days off, any week where I might happen to get like some kind of NAD patch or NAD IV. I don't take extra NAD, but man, for an oral formula, this one's pretty unrivaled in the industry. Brand new, you can get your hands on it now. So biostacklabs.com forward slash Ben. All right, let's talk ketosis.

When your body churns out ketones, it is a state of metabolic efficiency, mental clarity, improved athletic performance, better metabolic health. The reason for that is that ketones are 28% more efficient at generating energy than sugar alone. That means you can do more with less. And ketones are usually made when your body's pushed to the limits, when it's deprived of carbs, when it's fasted, when it's had a whole, whole bunch of fat, coconut oil and butter and all the things. But you can also, using the magic of science, shift yourself very rapidly into a state of ketosis that you'd normally have to fast for days to get into by supplementing with liquid ketones. You can usually drink ketones to do this. And there's one form of ketone brain fuel called ketone IQ, fittingly enough. And it is literally, quite literally, brain fuel. None of the insulin spikes or caffeine jitters or mid-afternoon energy crashes you get from most energy drinks, you just fuel with ketone IQ, one serving of this stuff, and it shifts you into the state of ketosis that you want.

Again, without being fasted or restricting carbohydrates. So it's almost like you get to have your cake and eat it too.

Or if you're already into ketosis and you want to put the icing on the cake and get even deeper into ketosis, this stuff works fantastically for that too. It's made by HVMN. They created this stuff through a $6 million contract from the US. Department of Defense, deep partnerships with some of the top researchers in the ketone industry. It's a cutting edge drink and you get 20% off. Here's how. Go to hvmn.com and use code BENG20. That gets you 20% off any purchase of ketone IQ. That's an exclusive offer for my listeners only. hvmn.com forward slash Ben G. It's called Ketone IQ by HVMN. A lot of people ask me what CBD I use. There's like a billion different CBDs out there. Kind of like keto things, CBD things.
