In this episode, we take a closer look at mouthwash and why it may not be as harmless as it seems. We explore how antibacterial mouthwash can interfere with nitric oxide production, a key molecule for blood flow, blood pressure, endurance, strength training, and overall performance.

We also discuss the links between reduced nitric oxide, poorer training adaptations, higher blood pressure, and long-term metabolic health. An episode for anyone interested in understanding how small daily habits can have a surprisingly big impact on health and performance.
