This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Maui Nui.


Each year, nearly 700,000 lives are lost to cardiovascular disease—and half of those individuals had no warning signs before their event. One major contributing factor? Low levels of nitric oxide, a vital molecule that supports healthy blood flow and keeps blood vessels flexible. The good news is that lifestyle changes—like diet, exercise, and proper supplementation—can naturally boost nitric oxide levels, helping to reduce your risk and support long-term heart health.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we’re revisiting one of our most talked-about moments with Dr. Nathan Bryan, all about why nitric oxide is the most underrated molecule for both short- and long-term health. Dhru and Dr. Bryan explore the connection between low nitric oxide levels and major conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, Alzheimer’s, sexual dysfunction, and metabolic decline. They also dive into the biggest blockers of nitric oxide production, the top foods and lifestyle choices to naturally boost it, signs of deficiency, and so much more.


Dr. Nathan Bryan is a leading expert in molecular medicine and nitric oxide research, with over 20 years of groundbreaking work and dozens of global patents. He’s the founder of Nitric Oxide Innovations, a company developing nitric oxide-based therapies to improve health worldwide.


In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Bryan dive into:

  • What happens in the body when we don’t produce enough nitric oxide (1:17)

  • The link between nitric oxide and heart health (3:30)
