## Resource

Most people think that to improve their health or performance, all they need to do is start working out, change their diet, or try intermittent fasting. But what if you are missing the crucial molecular foundation needed to make those habits actually work? In this episode, Dr. Nathan S Bryan, Founder of Bryan Therapeutics, will discuss why Nitric Oxide (NO) is the "upstream signaling molecule" your body desperately needs. When you exercise or fast, nitric oxide is what actually tells your mitochondria to replicate and rebuild. Without it, you are only getting a fraction of the results from your hard work. What you’ll take away: • Why you naturally lose 50% of your Nitric Oxide production by age 40 • How everyday oral hygiene habits like mouthwash and toothpaste destroy NO production • Why nasal breathing can boost your NO levels by 15x compared to mouth breathing • The truth behind sports supplements and beet powders (marketing hype vs. real science) • The surprising link between NO deficiency and cognitive decline Tune in to the full episode to learn exactly what you can do to restore your cellular respiration, and why Nitric Oxide is the baseline for all other biohacking.
