#068 Nitric Oxide Masterclass: What Every Functional Medicine Provider Needs to Know with Dr. Nathan S. Bryan

Written by Jamie Santa Cruz | Sep 4, 2024 6:00:00 AM

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Nathan S. Bryan, a leading expert in nitric oxide biochemistry.

In this episode, we delve into nitric oxide’s essential role in health, aging, and disease prevention. Dr. Bryan takes us from his early days as a biochemistry student at the University of Texas to his innovative research at LSU School of Medicine, inspired by the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of nitric oxide.

We explore why nitric oxide is crucial for cardiovascular health and how Dr. Bryan’s research has led to new therapies. He discusses developing a nitric oxide delivery system that mimics the body’s natural production. This breakthrough approach has shown significant potential for patients with resistant hypertension and other challenging conditions.

Dr. Bryan also explains Functional Nitric Oxide Nutrition, emphasizing how plant-based, balanced diets can boost nitric oxide levels and improve overall health.

Learn about the dual pathways through which the body produces nitric oxide and the critical role of the oral microbiome. Dr. Bryan shares how everyday products like mouthwash can disrupt nitric oxide production and lead to health issues. We also discuss the connection between oral health, water quality, and chronic conditions, along with the impact of topsoil degradation on food’s nutritional value.

Dr. Bryan offers practical insights for functional medicine practitioners on how to enhance nitric oxide production in their patients. For more on his research and educational content, tune in to this informative episode.
