Joe Rogan has often shared his curiosity about health, recovery, and longevity on his podcast, bringing on leading experts and athletes to explore cutting-edge wellness tools. Among those topics, IV therapy and NAD+ have stood out as recurring themes. Listeners have heard him describe his own experiences with IV drips, including times he felt energized after sessions, while also questioning scientists like David Sinclair about whether NAD+ could play a role in slowing the aging process.
In this article, we highlight the exact episodes where NAD+ and IV therapy come up, summarize Rogan’s perspective, and review what current research actually supports so you can separate the hype from the evidence.
Joe Rogan discusses IV therapy and NAD+ with guests such as David Sinclair and Ben Greenfield. The two most cited episodes are #1670 with David Sinclair and #1235 with Ben Greenfield.
#1670 – David Sinclair (June 18, 2021): Rogan asks about injectable NAD and NAD precursors. Community notes place this discussion around the 45 to 50 minute mark.
#1235 – Ben Greenfield (Jan 30, 2019): A wide-ranging conversation on biohacking and recovery, which includes discussion of IV therapy and NAD+.
#1120 – Ben Greenfield (May 22, 2018): Another biohacking episode with references to supplementation and IV recovery.
#1234 – David Sinclair (Jan 29, 2019): Covers aging, sirtuins, and precursors that raise NAD+.
IV NAD+ therapy is an infusion designed to raise NAD+ levels in the body. NAD+ is a molecule critical for cellular energy production and repair.
Human trials show that oral precursors like nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can increase blood NAD+ levels. However, data on IV NAD+ itself is limited to early pharmacokinetic studies.
Current research shows that NAD+ precursors reliably raise NAD+ levels in humans, but clinical outcomes are still unclear. Most strong results come from animal studies or small pilot trials.
Here are some quick facts about NAD+
Oral NAD+ precursors appear well tolerated in clinical trials. Reported side effects are generally mild, such as nausea or flushing. Data on IV NAD+ is still limited, but early studies suggest it may be safe for short-term use. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider before beginning therapy.
IV hydration may help people feel temporarily refreshed, particularly if dehydrated or fatigued. NAD+ infusions are being studied for aging and metabolism, while other medical options like ketamine or Spravato are approved only for specific mental health conditions under supervision. For most people, sleep, nutrition, and exercise remain the most effective long-term strategies for wellness.
