Payam Hakimi describes using NAD and IV nutrition to treat chronic fatigue, anxiety, and depression by addressing hormones and neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. The protocol combines supplements and IV therapy to reduce inflammation and boost energy, sometimes allowing patients to reduce antidepressants.

NAD has been used in our office very successfully with people who have chronic fatigue syndrome, people who have anxiety disorders, depressions. We have been able to decrease a lot of our patients antidepressants and in certain cases even stop their antidepressants, not by NAD alone. And again, I don't want this to be sound like NAD is doing all this job. When we get a patient and look at their physiology, we look at their hormones, we look at their brain physiology, their serotonin, dopamine, gaba, glutamine, we look at all these hormones, including their testosterone, their thyroid, dhea, these are important hormones in the body. So once we figure out where all these numbers are and we figure out exactly what we need to do with the patient, we use a combination of supplements, IV nutrition, that will help out with brain physiology with detoxifying the liver, decreasing inflammation in the body and giving our patients energy. Sometimes having a little bit more energy and having some NAD in the body basically gets a person out of this mood of being tired and sometimes just being tired. A lot of us can sort of feel as if we're depressed, right? So combination of supplements, combination of IV nutrition, nad, along with other IV nutritions, you're gonna see right after this, I'm gonna get another IV and you're gonna see it's going to help. And not in one session, obviously. Again, this is a protocol that we have with our patients.
