My intro and plans, advice welcome :)

Hi,
Just wanted to make my first post
I've been reading through the forums for a while and have decided to get my stuff together and do something.
I'm a 48 y/o male, live in Tasmania, no health problems and not on any medications.
Supplement wise, I take vitamin C (~ 5gm/day, primarily because of what I read about Linus Pauling) and I IF by skipping breakfast.
Don't really remember how I first stumbled across NMM/NR/NAD but I definitely fell down the rabbit hole soon after.
I have purchased some items from RBS (and won a couple). This includes lipo Fisetin gel (so I can copy the Mayo Clinic protocol), NAD+ Complete and lipo NR.
I haven't taken anything as yet and this is where I would be interested in what you are all doing, or would recommend.
So, seeing as I haven't been to the doctors in years, I think I should test and track where I am now and then test again to monitor what each particular product/dose does for me.
I've been reading the Longevity blog by Nick Engerer and picked up a few ideas and resources too, and am planning on the following;
- genetic test and report (Self Decode) to see what my dna might highlight.
- blood tests. I'm thinking this one, https://www.i-screen.com.au/tests/endur ... -test-male. Hopefully this will show up anything that needs attention.
- NAD test (Jinfiniti?) Before and after taking NAD+ Complete. Is this even worthwhile though if it only test blood levels of NAD? This doesn't tell you if it is making its way into your organs and muscles though does it? How long is long enough before re-testing? 1 month?
- What is a good test to determine if Fisetin has been worthwhile taking? A high sensitivity CRP test? This is included in the blood test package above, so I could just re-do this part after I re-create the Mayo clinic protocol.
- A glutathione test (possibly this one https://www.naturalhealthgroup.com.au/p ... -oxidised/) as I would like to take either lipo Glutathione or NAC + glycine if my levels are low.
- I'll include a vitamin D3/K2 combo if my levels indicate I need it - will test these after a month or so as well.
So, what are your thoughts? Good, bad, waste of time or $$?
I have also just purchased (but not received) a Platinum LED BioMax light so I can include some red light, PBM in my day - and was wondering how I could evaluate this as well.
TP
