Summary

This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Fatty15, and Birch Living. Cardiovascular disease still ranks as the leading cause of death for both men and women. Surprisingly, half of those affected show no symptoms before an event. Low levels of nitric oxide—a molecule that promotes vasodilation and smooth blood flow—could be primarily responsible. By recognizing the signs of deficiency, we can raise our levels and lower our risk. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down for round two with Dr. Nathan Bryan to discuss why nitric oxide is the holy grail of molecules for long-term health. Dr. Bryan shares the four hallmarks of disease, the consequences of antacid overuse, and the correlation between lower nitric oxide and the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Bryan also explains which lifestyle factors can hinder and boost nitric oxide production, how to test your levels, and symptoms that signal a deficiency. Dr. Nathan Bryan is a renowned biomedical researcher known for his groundbreaking work on nitric oxide (NO) biology. Dr. Bryan's research has significantly advanced our understanding of NO's critical roles in cardiovascular health, immune function, and neurobiology. Beyond academia, he advocates for public health, translating his research into practical solutions for improving human health. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Bryan dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): Nitric oxide as the holy grail molecule (00:00:02 / 00:00:02) Four hallmarks of disease (1:01 / 1:01) Antacid medications: lack of research and the consequences of extended use (4:41 / 4:41) Lower nitric oxide and the risk of Alzheimer’s (14:00 / 10:45) Lifestyle habits that contribute to Alzheimer’s and biomarkers to check (17:15 /13:01) What is nitric oxide and its core role in our bodies (27:00 / 23:39) Lifestyle factors that hinder nitric oxide production (33:00 / 28:22) Nitric oxide and high blood pressure (46:00 / 41:04) Filtering water in your home and oral dysbiosis (51:00 / 46:30) Navigating antacid medication usage and tapering off (1:11:00 / 1:06:50) Testing nitric oxide level production (1:15:00 / 1:10:06) The role of stress on our nitric oxide levels (1:29:00 / 1:24:53) Foods that support production and supplementation (1:32:00 / 1:27:10) Final thoughts: (1:44:00 / 1:39:40) Also mentioned in this episode: N1O1.com (get 10% off any of Dr. Bryan’s nitric oxide products with the code DHRU) Bryan Therapeutics EWG Fygg Toothpaste For more on Dr. Bryan, follow him on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and through his website, Right now, get 30% off your Cozy Earth sheets.

0:00.0	Dr Nathan Brian remind our audience why nitric oxide is truly the holy grail when it comes to chronic disease and why we should care about this topic?
0:13.0	Yeah, Nitric Oxide is considered really the Holy Grail because it's involved in everything
0:16.5	we know about the onset and progression of cardiovascular disease, which remains the number one
0:20.6	killer of men and women worldwide.
0:23.0	So the functional loss of nitricoxide,
0:25.7	the loss of nitricoxide in the lining of the blood vessels
0:27.8	precedes the structural changes that we see in
0:30.9	cardiovascular disease by many years, sometimes decades.
0:34.7	So when you lose the ability to make nitric oxide, that sets the stage for the onset and
0:39.4	progression of vascular disease.
0:41.2	And as we know today, there's a vascular component to every disease whether
0:44.1	it's Alzheimer's diabetes autoimmune disease liver disease pulminous disease we have to
0:49.1	maintain the normal structure function of the blood vessels and that's the role of nitricoxide.
0:54.0	You've shared before and it's worth a recap.
0:56.0	There's four hallmarks of disease.
0:58.6	How do those play into our topic today?
1:02.1	Well if you look at any disease and you know medicine is
1:04.0	practiced by specialists right cardiologists only deal with the heart you know pulmonologist
1:08.7	the lungs and you know neurologists in the brain. But whether it's a neurological disease,
1:13.4	whether it's pulmonary disease or a coronary disease or heart disease, there's four common
1:17.3	denominators. It's always low blood flow. We call that hypoxi or
1:20.6	eschemia to that organ, and then there's inflammation, oxidative stress and immune
