- Muscle wasting in cancer and chronic illness is driven by a breakdown in cellular energy production, not just poor appetite or inflammation
- Low levels of NAD+, the molecule that powers your cells' mitochondria, cause muscles to weaken and shrink even when calorie intake is sufficient
- Researchers found that restoring NAD+ with niacin (vitamin B3) helps rebuild muscle mass, improve strength, and stabilize energy metabolism — even during chemotherapy
- Seed oils high in linoleic acid interfere with how your cells make energy and promote chronic inflammation, while replacing them with stable fats like grass fed butter or ghee supports recovery
- Simple strategies such as taking niacinamide, eating nutrient-dense whole foods, reducing stress, and getting regular sunlight help recharge your metabolism and rebuild strength from the inside out

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
