NAD+ Therapy · How Many, How Often, How Long · Serving Spruce Creek
NAD+ Therapy for Del Webb Spruce Creek, FL
"How many NAD treatments do I need?" is answered on most clinic pages with "it depends," which is true and useless. Here is the actual shape of it. An initial series of small subcutaneous doses a few times a week over several weeks, at home. A checkpoint at a few weeks where you score your energy, clarity and recovery against where you started. Then one of three things: maintenance dosing at a lower rhythm, a cycle off, or stop because it did not help. No open-ended protocol and no subscription. NAD+ therapy near Del Webb Spruce Creek, FL is directed by a clinician with a biochemistry background and twenty-two years in The Villages, with a medical doctor on site, and the trial record told honestly before you start. Eighteen to twenty-two minutes from the gate, and only for the consultation.
NAD+ protocols are directed by Dr. Christopher Cheshire, MS, AP, LAc, DOM, with a biochemistry background and 22 years in The Villages. Medical oversight by Dr. Thomas Phipps, MD. Meet the providers

The Shape Of A Protocol
Weeks, not sessions. Here is what each stretch is for.
NAD+ works by consistency over weeks, which is why we count the protocol in weeks rather than in chair sessions.
Week one: the set-up and the first doses
One visit for the consultation, the screening and the technique. Then small subcutaneous doses a few times a week at home. Starting small and gradual avoids the flushing that large fast doses cause and lets us see how you tolerate it. Nothing is expected to change yet.
Weeks two to four: the window where energy and clarity show
Where NAD+ is going to do something for you, this is usually when the afternoon collapse arrives later, thinking costs less, and effort stops costing the next day. Not everyone feels it, and that is information too. A phone check-in in this stretch picks up side effects and adjusts the schedule if needed.
The checkpoint
At a few weeks you score energy, clarity and recovery against where you started, in writing, with Dr. Cheshire. A clear change means continue. No change means stop; we do not extend a protocol in the hope that week eight will differ from week four. The trial record is honest that some people do not respond, and so are we.
After the series: maintenance or a cycle off
Responders usually drop to a lower maintenance rhythm, or take a break and restart when the benefit fades. Which is better for you is judged on how long the change holds. Demanding stretches, heavy travel or illness recovery are sometimes a reason to run a short series again. Nothing renews automatically.
What It Is, And What The Trials Show
Why the checkpoint is not optional.
NAD+ is the coenzyme every cell uses to turn food into usable energy and to repair itself, and it declines steadily with age. Replenishing it supports that machinery; it is not a stimulant. The human trials are mostly of oral precursors in older adults: they reliably raise blood NAD+ and are well tolerated over weeks to months, but a 24-week placebo-controlled NMN trial in people over 65 confirmed the rise without improving its primary outcome or physical performance, and a review of ten NMN trials found non-significant performance changes. Injected NAD+ has little controlled data of its own. That is exactly why a protocol here has a checkpoint built in: the trials cannot tell you whether you will respond, and a few weeks of consistent dosing can. Full NAD+ therapy page.
Fatigue is screened first for the causes that are not cellular, with Dr. Phipps, MD, in the building. NAD+ is distinct from peptide therapy, whose repair protocols run on a longer six to twelve week clock; Dr. Cheshire tells you which you need. Both sit inside our functional medicine work.

Cost and Insurance
How much does nad+ therapy cost for Del Webb Spruce Creek patients, and what does insurance cover?

Insurance and Medicare
NAD+ is self pay; we do not bill insurance for it and Medicare does not cover it Source: CMS National Coverage Determination 30.3.3. Acupuncture visits in the same plan are covered by many plans.
No subscription
A series, a checkpoint, a decision. Nothing renews on its own.
The first 20 minute consultation is free and no referral is needed. Call 352-430-2720.

Is This You, Spruce Creek?
Worth a series when:
- Fatigue or fog has persisted despite adequate sleep and unremarkable labs.
- You want to know the shape of the protocol before you start it.
- You would rather run it at home than drive to a chair.
- You want a checkpoint with a stop built in, not a membership.
- You are building a longevity plan and want a foundational piece of it.
Not for everyone. Pregnancy, active cancer treatment and some medical conditions call for caution or a different approach, and unexplained fatigue sometimes needs a physician work-up first. We take a careful history before anything.
