As the original founder of NeoGenis (creators of the Neo40 lozenges and nitric oxide indicator test strips), Dr. Bryan holds multiple patents in nitric oxide biochemistry. In this episode, he shares the latest science on how nitric oxide influences cardiovascular health, blood pressure, brain function, exercise performance, sexual health, and metabolic regulation. He also discusses practical strategies for naturally boosting nitric oxide levels through diet, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation.

This conversation is essential listening for any practitioner working with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cognitive decline, erectile dysfunction, or chronic fatigue.
