You've got the probiotic, the binder, and the gut protocol, and your skin still isn't budging. This episode explains the step almost everyone skips.
We sat down with Dylan Gemelli, host of The Dylan Gemelli Podcast, to talk about why nervous system regulation has to come before any protocol you run. Dylan shares the origin story behind his work (four-sport athlete, international model, two years in prison, a full rebuild at 30) and the emotional reset that changed how he approaches health. From what NAD actually does inside your cells to why injectable NAD doesn't work long term, to spore-based probiotics and why Cris caps most clients at four supplements, this one reframes what "doing everything right" actually means. If you're running protocol after protocol and nothing is sticking, start here.
In This Episode We Cover
- Why a dysregulated nervous system keeps cortisol and inflammation high enough to stall every gut protocol you run.
- What NAD does inside the cell, and why straight injectable NAD is too large a molecule to get in and work long term.
- Why Dylan picks NMN over NR as a precursor, since NR has to convert to NMN before your body can use it anyway.
- How Dylan took his own NAD from 24 to 72 in two months, and why standard blood panels never check it.
- What makes a spore-based probiotic different, including shelf stability and surviving stomach acid to reach your gut intact.
- Why Cris caps most clients at four or five supplements, and how biofilms and endotoxins drive those "die-off" reactions.
