This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Fatty15, and Birch Living.\n\nCardiovascular 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\u2014a molecule that promotes vasodilation and smooth blood flow\u2014could be primarily responsible. By recognizing the signs of deficiency, we can raise our levels and lower our risk.\n\nToday 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\u2019s 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.\n\nDr. 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.\n\xa0\nIn this episode, Dhru and Dr. Bryan dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version):\n\nNitric oxide as the holy grail molecule (00:00:02 / 00:00:02)\n\nFour hallmarks of disease (1:01 / 1:01)\xa0\n\nAntacid medications: lack of research and the consequences of extended use (4:41 / 4:41)\n\nLower nitric oxide and the risk of Alzheimer\u2019s (14:00 / 10:45)\n\nLifestyle habits that contribute to Alzheimer\u2019s and biomarkers to check (17:15 /13:01)\n\nWhat is nitric oxide and its core role in our bodies (27:00\xa0 / 23:39)\n\nLifestyle factors that hinder nitric oxide production (33:00 / 28:22)\xa0\n\nNitric oxide and high blood pressure (46:00 / 41:04)\xa0\n\nFiltering water in your home and oral dysbiosis (51:00 / 46:30)\n\nNavigating antacid medication usage and tapering off (1:11:00 / 1:06:50)\n\nTesting nitric oxide level production (1:15:00 / 1:10:06)\n\nThe role of stress on our nitric oxide levels (1:29:00 / 1:24:53)\n\nFoods that support production and supplementation (1:32:00 / 1:27:10)\n\nFinal thoughts: (1:44:00 / 1:39:40)\xa0\n\n\nAlso mentioned in this episode:\n\n\nN1O1.com (get 10% off any of Dr. Bryan\u2019s nitric oxide products with the code DHRU)\xa0\n\nBryan Therapeutics\n\nEWG\n\nFygg Toothpaste\xa0\n\n\nFor more on Dr. Bryan, follow him on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and through his website,\xa0\n\xa0\nRight now, get 30% off your Cozy Earth sheets.
