Are diet and lifestyle always sufficient for enhancing nitric oxide? Welcome to another episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast with Dr. Jeffrey Gladden and Dr. Nathan Bryan! Dr. Bryan holds a Biochemistry B.Sc. from the University of Texas and a Ph.D. from Louisiana State University School of Medicine. A former Kirschstein Fellow at Boston University, he joined the University of Texas Health Science Center faculty in 2006. With 20 years in nitric oxide research, he's secured numerous patents. As an entrepreneur, he founded successful companies like HumanN, Inc. and serves as CEO of Bryan Therapeutics, Inc., focused on nitric oxide therapies for heart disease, Alzheimer's, and diabetic wounds. Dr. Bryan is an influential figure in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry. In this episode, they talk about all things nitric oxide and how your body cannot and will not heal or perform without adequate nitric oxide. They also speak about how things like mouthwash, fluoride, and drug therapy such as antacids lead to loss of NO production and how there is a need to supplement nitric oxide due to Western diet and hygienic practices. Why should you stop using mouthwash?
