Dr. Nathan Bryan earned his undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Austin and his doctoral degree from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in Shreveport where he was the recipient of the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Research. He pursued his post-doctoral training as a Kirschstein Fellow at Boston University School of Medicine in the Whitaker Cardiovascular Institute. After a two year post-doctoral fellowship, in 2006 Dr. Bryan was recruited to join faculty at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston by Ferid Murad, M.D., Ph.D., 1998 Nobel Laureate in Medicine or Physiology. During his nine years at UT, Dr. Bryan focused on drug discovery, screening natural product libraries for active compounds. His research led to over a dozen US and international patents. Notably, he was the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as essential nutrients for cardiovascular health and demonstrated an endocrine function of nitric oxide. He discovered compositions that generate and restore nitric oxide in humans, validated by six clinical trials. In this episode, we cover: - The role of nitric oxide in maintaining cardiovascular and brain health. - How nitric oxide production declines with age and its impact on chronic diseases. - The connection between nitric oxide and diet, highlighting the importance of vegetables. - The surprising link between oral hygiene and nitric oxide levels, and how mouthwash may harm your health. - The influence of nitric oxide on hormone regulation and sexual health. - Myths about nitrates in cured meats and their health effects. - The risks associated with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and their impact on nitric oxide production. - The role of nitric oxide in mitochondrial function and overall energy production. - Dr. Nathan Bryan's actionable tips for enhancing nitric oxide production through diet, lifestyle, and supplementation.

Dr. Nathan Bryan discusses nitric oxide's role in heart and brain health, highlighting its decline with age and the link to diet. He explores the surprising connection between oral hygiene and nitric oxide levels. Topics include nutrient depletion in the standard diet, nitric oxide in mitochondrial function, and controversies surrounding nitrates in food.

Braydon Dymm, MD, is a board-certified neurologist and accomplished physician who specializes in cerebrovascular disease and stroke care. After graduating summa cum laude from the University of Detroit Mercy and earning his medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine, he completed his neurology residency at Michigan Medicine. Dr. Dymm recently finished an advanced fellowship in cerebrovascular neurology at Duke University Hospital. He has made significant research contributions with publications in respected journals like Neurology and Stroke. Currently, Dr. Dymm serves as a neurohospitalist in the Department of Neurology at Charleston Area Medical Center. His passion for advancing stroke care and medical education has established him as an emerging leader in the field. In this episode, we cover: - The differences between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, including causes and symptoms. - The critical of recognizing stroke symptoms quickly using the BFAST mnemonic. - Gender disparities in stroke incidence, with a focus on why women are more affected and have worse outcomes. - The role of high blood pressure and cholesterol in stroke risk and prevention strategies. - The effectiveness of exercise, diet, and stress management in reducing stroke risk. - Advances in stroke treatment, including the transition from TPA to tenecteplase for quicker administration. - The potential for new technologies, like continuous blood pressure monitors, to improve stroke prevention.
