Introduction

This video features an interview with Dr. Nathan Bryan, a biochemist specializing in nitric oxide (NO). The conversation explores the crucial role of NO in human health, its connection to various diseases (including Alzheimer's), and strategies to optimize NO levels naturally. The overarching purpose is to educate viewers about the often-overlooked importance of NO and empower them to improve their health.

Key Takeaways

• Nitric Oxide Deficiency: A decline in nitric oxide (NO) production is a primary factor in age-related chronic diseases like erectile dysfunction, high blood pressure, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. This decline begins around age 30.
• Symptoms & Diseases: Symptoms of NO deficiency include erectile dysfunction, high blood pressure, and exercise intolerance. Many chronic diseases are linked to low NO levels.
• Oral Microbiome's Role: The oral microbiome plays a crucial role in NO production. Using mouthwash and fluoridated toothpaste disrupts this microbiome, negatively impacting NO levels and potentially increasing blood pressure.
• Improving NO Levels: To improve NO levels, avoid sugar, high-glycemic foods, mouthwash, and fluoridated toothpaste. Maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, get sunlight exposure, and consider nasal breathing and humming.
• The Future of Medicine: Dr. Bryan believes that future medicine will heavily rely on understanding and optimizing nitric oxide production to treat and prevent various diseases.

According to the transcript, several objective measures exist to determine vascular age and endothelial function. These include:

• Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT): Measured via ultrasound to assess the thickness of the carotid arteries. This is compared to a database of age-matched individuals.
• Flow-mediated dilation (FMD): Another measure of endothelial function, also compared against a database of other patients.
• Markers from GlycanAge: This technology uses specific markers to define a biological age for an individual.
• Histone modification and DNA methylation profiles: These analyses provide additional insights into biological age.

The transcript does not provide further detail on the specific methodologies used in these measurements.
