If we ran through a hypothetical day in the life of an individual, could we identify and track the chemical processes as they play out in a way that could benefit our understanding/control of our bodies and minds? For Example: What chemical process am I experiencing when I run my shower directly on my face? It causes some kind of intense energy, uncomfortable, not painful, invigorating, but generally unpleasant. And what chemical surge do I feel when that same water runs on my back, which feels extremely euphoric? It feels good, relaxing, and inspires sympathetic feelings. I believe I might be very interoceptive. Sometimes it seems like I can physically feel chemicals surge from my spinal column and cerebellum. Is that possible? What chemicals and pathways are being re-enforced when my focus fades, and I “zone-out” with no particular thoughts, pleasures or stresses, but a general feeling of sedate mild euphoria? I separate this from meditation because it lacks awareness and intention and happens without agency. It happens more often perhaps when I am bored, tired or stressed. I often feel guilty if I find myself there, but also strongly drawn to submit to it.
Instead of trying NMN as a NAD precursor I decided to experiment with a NAD+ IV. Every 3 weeks I receive 250mg of NAD+. Of all the biohacking activities I have tried this has been hugely impactful on my quality of sleep and experiencing solid energy levels all day. Is there any studies/data on NAD+ or am I experiencing the placebo effect.
