Summary

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Doc Jen and Doctor Dom, both Doctors of Physical Therapy welcome Doctor Nathan Bryan, an expert in nitric oxide biochemistry. Doctor Bryan explains how nitric oxide, a short-lived signaling molecule, is essential for cardiovascular health, brain function, immune defense, and longevity. He discusses how modern lifestyle habits, including poor diet, sedentary behavior, fluoride toothpaste, and antiseptic mouthwash, deplete nitric oxide production. Doctor Bryan also shares practical health tips to restore levels, including exercise, nasal breathing, dietary changes, and his scientifically developed nitric oxide-based supplements, highlighting their potential to combat chronic diseases like Alzheimer's, diabetes, and heart disease.
