NAD+ IV Therapy Scottsdale, AZ

NAD+ Treatment in Arizona

At Advanced Wellness and Pain, NAD+ is integrated into our holistic treatment plans to enhance patient well-being and recovery. We have observed that the coenzyme can act as a beneficial adjunct to other therapies, such as ketamine treatment, especially in the realms of mental health and chronic pain management. NAD+ contributes to cellular repair, boosts energy metabolism, and aids in neuroregeneration, which complements the effects of ketamine by promoting overall cellular health and improving treatment outcomes. By carefully incorporating NAD+ into our protocols, we aim to provide a multi-faceted approach to care that addresses the unique needs of each individual.

What is NAD+?

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a crucial coenzyme found in all living cells that plays a vital role in cellular metabolism and energy production. Its functions extend to cellular repair and even neuroprotection, making it an integral component of overall cellular health. As NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, it has garnered attention for its potential benefits in age-related diseases and general well-being.

At Advanced Wellness and Pain, we use NAD+ as a complementary treatment to enhance the efficacy of our existing therapies, such as ketamine. By incorporating NAD+ into our treatment protocols, we aim to provide a multi-dimensional approach to healthcare, optimizing outcomes and offering a more comprehensive solution for our patients.

What Does NAD+ Do?

NAD+ serves multiple functions in the body, making it essential for various cellular processes. Most notably, it plays a critical role in metabolic reactions that convert nutrients into energy. It acts as a cofactor for enzymes that facilitate these chemical reactions, essentially helping to transfer electrons and hydrogen atoms within the cell. Beyond energy production, NAD+ is also instrumental in cellular repair mechanisms. It aids in DNA repair and supports the function of proteins that help combat cellular stress and damage.

In the context of Advanced Wellness and Pain, NAD+ is incorporated into treatment protocols as a complementary therapy. We find that it can enhance the effectiveness of other treatments, particularly ketamine therapy, by supporting cellular health and metabolic function. This multi-faceted approach allows us to better tailor our treatments to individual patient needs, improving both the quality and the longevity of the therapeutic effects.

NAD+ IV Therapy vs. Ketamine IV Therapy

NAD+ IV therapy and ketamine IV therapy are both advanced treatments, but they serve different primary purposes and mechanisms of action. NAD+ IV therapy is largely focused on cellular metabolism, repair, and regeneration. It aims to boost energy levels, speed up recovery, and improve overall cellular health. On the other hand, ketamine IV therapy is primarily used for its psychoactive properties to treat conditions like depression, PTSD, and chronic pain. It works by interacting with NMDA receptors in the brain, offering rapid relief from symptoms and facilitating a window for deeper therapeutic work.

At Advanced Wellness and Pain, we recognize the unique benefits of both NAD+ and ketamine, and often use them in a complementary fashion. While ketamine works on neural pathways to alleviate mental health symptoms or chronic pain, NAD+ supports these efforts by promoting cellular vitality and metabolic function. By integrating the two therapies where appropriate, we aim to provide a well-rounded and more effective treatment strategy tailored to each patient’s specific needs. This enables us to offer a more comprehensive and sustainable path to wellness and recovery.

Dr. James Leathem is a board-certified anesthesiologist and a member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. He was born and raised in Connecticut and graduated from Florida Southern College with a bachelor of science in marketing management with minors in sociology and communications. He obtained his medical degree from Midwestern University’s Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his residency in anesthesiology at Michigan State University and its affiliated McLaren Greater Lansing Hospital.

In 2015, after residency, Dr. Leathem returned to Arizona to practice anesthesiology. He joined Red Mountain Anesthesiologists and worked primarily at Banner Baywood Medical Center in Mesa, performing 100% of his own cases. He was made partner in the group after demonstrating 3 years of anesthesia excellence and administering over 4,000 anesthetics. In 2019, a corporate change occurred and an opportunity presented itself in which he was able to transition out of the hospital to surgery center and clinic-based anesthesia.

Dr. Leathem realizes that the only constant in life is change. In 2020, amidst the global pandemic, his career took a different direction. This change led him to collaborate with Dr. Wong and Dr. Sharma and they founded Advanced Wellness and Pain (AWAP). Their mission is to provide a variety of state-of-the-art procedural services that improve patients’ quality of life and overall physical and mental well-being.

Dr. Leathem believes that we are all a work in progress and that each day, one should strive to make positive changes in their life. He is here to help empower each patient on their journey to be their best self and live their best life.

Dr. Wong grew up in the Bay Area of California. He is married and is raising three daughters. At the early age of 12 years old, he knew he wanted to become a physician. His love of the human spirit, intrigue of human physiology, and compassion for human suffering led him to the path of anesthesiology and pain medicine.

Today, Dr. Wong realizes patients need a holistic biophysical-mental-spiritual care. This philosophy has brought him to the studies of regenerative medicine and infusion therapies. He has firsthandily witnessed the overwhelming success of these therapies for treating chronic pain and depression and the return of patients of “life-functionality.”

“There has never been a time more important than now to advocate for our patients in these difficult times. We owe it to our patients to offer these state-of-the-art treatment modalities that weren’t available before.”
