Join Dr. Nathan Bryan, a leading nitric oxide biochemist, as he reveals the critical role of nitric oxide in cardiovascular health and its link to chronic disease prevention. He discusses how modern habits, like using antiseptic mouthwash, can disrupt the oral microbiome and lower nitric oxide levels. Discover how restoring this foundational molecule can enhance stem cell mobilization and mitochondrial function, potentially reversing conditions like Alzheimer's. With innovative products on the horizon, Dr. Bryan's insights could reshape how we think about health and longevity.

INSIGHT

Nitric Oxide Is A Foundational Molecule

  • Nitric oxide is a naturally produced signaling gas that regulates blood flow, insulin sensitivity, stem cell mobilization, and mitochondrial function.
  • Losing nitric oxide production underlies many chronic diseases and impaired healing, says Dr. Nathan Bryan.
ADVICE

Measure Function, Not Only Standard Labs

  • Use functional measures of endothelial function to evaluate nitric oxide production when possible, since routine labs don't capture it.
  • Consider salivary or endothelial tests and lifestyle factors to assess nitric oxide status clinically.
ADVICE

Recognize Early Clinical Signs

  • Screen patients for early signs of nitric oxide deficiency: erectile dysfunction, rising blood pressure, insulin resistance, exercise intolerance, cognitive decline.
  • Use symptom hierarchy plus functional tests to identify and treat nitric oxide-related disease early.
