Nick HowarthAlcohol has become one of the most misunderstood roadblocks in modern metabolic health. Many people assume that if a drink is “low carb,” it must be harmless—especially if they’re following a low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle. That assumption is wrong.

At the center of this problem sits a molecule most people have never heard of, yet cannot live without—NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).
