Did you know that a tiny molecule could have a monumental impact on your health and well-being? Nitric oxide (NO) might be the unsung hero in your body, influencing everything from blood flow and exercise performance to disease prevention and recovery.But what makes this molecule so powerful?

 

In this episode of the Peak Human Labs Podcast, Dr. Sanjeev Goel speaks with Dr. Nathan Bryan, a leading expert in nitric oxide physiology. They explore NO's crucial role in human health, including its impact on blood flow, circulation, and oxygen delivery. Dr. Bryan explains the two primary pathways of NO production: enzymatic synthesis from L-arginine and dietary nitrates converted by oral bacteria. They also discuss how diet, oral health, and medications like proton pump inhibitors influence NO levels. Additionally, Dr. Bryan introduces innovative NO supplementation strategies, highlighting their potential benefits for cardiovascular health and disease prevention.

 

Tune in to discover how this remarkable molecule could be the key to enhancing your health.
