Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death for both men and women. One major factor may be low levels of nitric oxide, a molecule that promotes vasodilation and smooth blood flow. By recognizing the signs of deficiency, we can raise our levels and lower our risk. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Nathan Bryan, a Nitric Oxide Scientist, inventor, and author, as we to explore the importance of nitric oxide for our long-term health. Dr. Bryan discusses the four key characteristics of disease, the effects of excessive antacid use, and the link between reduced nitric oxide levels and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s. He also shares insights into lifestyle factors that can either diminish or enhance nitric oxide production, how to assess your levels, and symptoms that may indicate a deficiency. Dr. Nathan Bryan is a distinguished biomedical researcher recognized for his pioneering work on nitric oxide biology. His research has greatly contributed to our understanding of nitric oxide's vital functions in cardiovascular health, immune response, and neurobiology. Beyond his academic contributions, he is dedicated to promoting public health by translating his findings into practical health solutions.

We focus on the water we drink, but the water you shower with matters too—your skin absorbs more than you think, which is why I use the Weddell Water Duo Shower Filter, the only NSF-certified option that targets chlorine, PFAS, and hard-water buildup. It’s one of the easiest healthy-home swaps—use code WELLNSTRONG to try it.
