What up family, welcome to episode 130 of The Genius Life.

What's going on everybody, welcome to another episode of The Genius Life.

I'm your host Max Lugovier, filmmaker, health and science journalist, and the author of

The New York Times bestselling book Genius Foods and The Genius Life.

I'm super excited for this episode of the show in which I interview Dr. Nathan Bryan.

Dr. Bryan is one of the world's preeminent experts on nitric oxide, which is a very important

gas that we create in our blood vessels and is also created by bacteria in our mouths

when we masticate or chew.

And it plays a number of important roles in the body.

It is a crucial part of the conversation when discussing cardiovascular health, when

discussing brain health, when discussing sexual health and sexual performance in the

bedroom, y'all.

So over the course of the next hour, this is going to be a mind-blowing conversation.

You're going to discover what nitric oxide is and why it's so important, how we make nitric

oxide in our bodies, why certain people and populations simply aren't making enough of

it.

And I guarantee you you're not going to think about mouthwash or toothpaste the same way

again after listening to this.

What the health consequences are of insufficient nitric oxide production and how we can all restore

nitric oxide production or the very least prevent its decline.

I got to tell you before we get rolling.

This is one of my favorite topics lately.
