In this episode Dr Bryan discusses the two ways our body produces Nitric Oxide via the Nitric Oxide Synthase pathway and the enterosalivary nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide (NO) pathway. Dr Bryan explains how both Nitric Oxide pathways promote vasodilation (the widerning of the arteries) and help with blood pressure regulation.

We discuss how you lose Nitric Oxide production as we age through western medicine, diet, and lifestyle factors. Dr Bryan discusses the dangers of using antiseptic mouthwash on the oral microbiome, the use of antacids and the connection to dementia, heart attacks and stroke and dietary protocols to increase Nitric Oxide production.

This episode is important for anyone who seeks to understand the cause of chronic disease, and for those who seek to optimise their heart and cardiovascular function. You will learn the science of the four hallmarks of chronic inflammation which is leading to heart attacks, stroke and dementia, the science of how Nitric Oxide prevents all chronic disease, and how to naturally increase Nitric Oxide production.

    When I was studying to become a massage therapist, they told us that the pharmaceutical companies that subsidize the medical colleges would remove the $$$ if the colleges taught too many natural methods of healing other than medications.
  • Gotta be honest, any time I hear "every single chronic disease results from X", and X just happens to be that extremely specific thing that the speaker specializes in studying, I involuntarily roll my eyes a bit. So far this week I've heard different specialists say X is visceral fat, vascular inflammation, insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia, sarcopenia, oxalates, free radical metabolites, uric acid, and now nitric oxide. All of these are important I'm sure, but I think becoming an expert in a narrow field also narrows our perspective and inflates our perception of the importance of that one system. Better to listen to lots of different experts and try and put what they're saying in the proper perspective.

    I started keto for a 30 day desperate effort to lose weight. Ingesting that much bacon was amazing but also terrifying and then to learn I have to make sure I am getting 5000 mg of sodium every day… even scarier. It’s 8 years later. I’ve not only lost the weight - brain fog, inflammation and insomnia gone. So is the depression and anxiety. My labs are amazing at 55 (doc is dead wrong about my cholesterol but I’m teaching her. My CAS showed a zero). I’ve also stopped using fluoride toothpaste (I do oil pulling 3-4 times a week and it cleans my mouth and gets rid of toothaches). I also mouth tape at night - teaching my body to nose breathe again. I only need to exercise now to burn off EXCESS energy - not to burn calories. For anyone who thinks - like I did/ that giving up carbs is hard - it’s not. After the first 10 days you will not crave anything. Leptin is a life changing hormone that far too few of us get to experience. Imagine enjoying food more than ever and never thinking about it. Also imagine eating just what you need and no more. Every day. Most meals. That’s Leptin.
  • I love this guy! The fact that he didn't mask and didn't take the jab. Just awesome!
  • Retired mechanical engineer. Working for a consulting firm in Madison WI. A client had us design a computer operated NO2 gas device. I design or rather package a working prototype into a ambulance and helicopter manual device. Never heard why it was important.

    Thanks for getting an expert who does not dumb down his knowledge nor sell his wares.
  • @natali4009
    As a small child in the 60’s My father insisted that I ingest a fluoride tablet every day. I now have weak teeth and Hashimoto’s disease . I grew up in Perth Australia where the level of fluoride in the drinking water is just under the borderline of what is considered unsafe. My father is on medication for cholesterol and blood thinning. He has been diagnosed with Alzheimers
  • ⁠I’ve reached a state of extreme frustration and helplessness… watching all these YouTubers taking their turn interviewing doctors like this… like they’re on a book tour (this one actually HAS written a book)… it’s all an industry… and nothing but. Looking to flog their wears… it’s gotten to the stage where EVERYTHING one eats or drinks will make you sick and shorten your life. Truth is… best to escape the confusion and helplessness simply by eating whole foods… organic if possible (and non gmo) saturate the body with water… avoid pollutants … sugar… alcohol… smoking… stress… just listen to the old wives tales… “everything in moderation” …
  • @LightZone9
    An absolutely fascinating video that, once watched made me feel both smarter and dumber at the same time. This is going to be a "watch twice" video for sure.
  • 5:50 it's not all about money. They call us "the useless mouths to feed". The Georgia Guidestones monument wasn't just a bad joke.
  • I hate rants mostly but here’s one anyway. I mean this to be respectful criticism…I love this podcast and of course I’m always open to the possibility of learning to improve my overall health. This is my purpose for watching. Nathan Bryan has vast knowledge of NO no doubt. And the NO concern has been growing now for over 10 years or so. However, Bryan is yet another Specialist with books, supplements, and a YT presence in the health space/field of NO and proclaims to offer a product that restores this in our bodies. Please forgive me if I’m coming across as cynical here but I have become very weary of this ever growing trend in the health space. I’m not saying NO isn’t a key to better health but I do feel there are better ways to improve human health than simply offering up yet another patented product to battle the real problem out there which are the huge companies that have great reach and influence over the lion’s share of food-like substances, and everyday products that contribute to a vast majority of human health outcomes. I feel a large group of physicians and other experts can make a much more meaningful impact on this problem when partnered with legislators. Let’s call big food and big pharma and big agriculture out. Otherwise this discussion will be memory holed like too many others. ✌🏻

    I am 80 years old and in excellent health. I appreciate learning more about nitric oxide from this doctor, but I have to say that as for Listerine, for at least 50 of my 80 years I have gargled and washed out my mouth with a mixture of water and classic clove based Listerine, 4:1. Lately I may not do it every day, but I found it immediately helps with sore throat, and for colds it seems they last a couple of days instead of a couple of weeks. For stomach acid problems, I use a little Activa yogurt (yes it has sugar) and Benefiber in drinks several times a week. For heart issues, Instead of statins I would love to hear someone discuss red yeast rice and nattokinase. I love mild exercise, and SUN!
  • @colemant6845
    Great Interview. Interviewer obviously did her homework causing very focused/detailed answers from the Dr.. Well Done.Perfect. Thanks
  • @VolkyHaus
    Remember all this happens because the high sugar, lubricating oils and grains consumption.
  • This might explain why I had a massive heart attack when I was 26. I had been taking antacids since I was a teenager. My personal physician was confused as to why I had a heart attack, because my cholesterol level and blood pressure was normal. He was aware of my acid reflux, so he had me tested for a hiatal hernia and sure enough, that’s what I had. I have no heart issues in my family. Three brothers have never had any heart issues.
  • I ate lots of dark green leaf vegetables and gave myself kidney stones and chronic inflammation and pain. It tore up my life.
  • Meat n fat has been healing my gut. I also take bovine organ capsules, like heart, kidney, lung, intestine
  • Dr McMillan at Vejon Health said that humming increases NO in the airway. So I encourage people to hum their favorite song. Take your blood pressure, hum your favorite song, and repeat your blood pressure. Mine lowers... although I don't have a high blood pressure to begin with, it will drop a few numbers. I should have waited until the video was over because I see that you did bring it up around the 55 min mark. You so smart!

    I've watched numerous interviews with Dr Bryan on the topic of nitric oxide and this interview is by far the best yet. Bravo. I hope his message gets out. This could very well be one of the most critical pieces to understand for our health, especially concerning fluoride and mouthwash as well as antacids. Getting your oral microbiome, gut, diet, and exercise in check to restore nitric oxide functionality is crucial for health. Thank you, and thank you Dr Bryan for this wealth of information.
