Did you know your daily habits could be destroying your nitric oxide levels without you even realizing it?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Bryan, a world-renowned expert in nitric oxide research, to explore how this tiny molecule controls blood flow, supports brain function, and plays a key role in Alzheimer’s prevention.

We uncover shocking truths about mouthwash, fluoride, and antacids and how they may be blocking your body’s ability to produce nitric oxide, leading to cognitive decline and aging.


Dr. Bryan also shares the most effective strategies for naturally boosting nitric oxide levels and how this knowledge reshapes medicine, from heart disease to Alzheimer’s treatments.
