Dr Nathan Bryan | Nitric Oxide: The Most Important Molecule Produced, Insulin Resistance Can Happen When You Become Nitric Oxide Deficient KKP: 484

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Nathan Bryan. He is an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry. Specifically, Dr. Bryan was the first to describe nitrite and nitrate as indispensable nutrients required for optimal cardiovascular health. He was the first to demonstrate and discover an endocrine function of nitric oxide via the formation of S-nitrosoglutathione and inorganic nitrite. In this episode, Dr. Bryan takes a massive deep dive into nitric oxide; it is the essential molecule produced in every mammal. Without nitric oxide, you can become immunocompromised, develop high blood pressure, and lose memory, among other health problems. Luckily, Dr. Bryan explains precisely what you need to do to improve your nitric oxide production and what you need to stop doing so you don’t get in the way of your body’s ability to produce nitric oxide. Tune in as we chat about nitrates in vegetables, the importance of nose breathing, and how nitric oxide can prevent problems with Covid. 4 Secrets to Mastering Keto Masterclass.

[03:15] Nitric Oxide: The Most Important Molecule Produced In Every Mammal Nitric oxide is one of the most important molecules produced in all mammals. Nitric oxide is a signaling molecule that helps cell-to-cell communication. Once nitric oxide is produced, it activates several target receptors and starts this signaling cascade. Nitric oxide is how red blood cells deliver oxygen to individual cells of the body. When you become nitric oxide deficient, there are a lot of things that go wrong: You become immunocompromised You develop high blood pressure You develop sexual dysfunction You lose your memory You get vascular dementia You become exercise intolerant [04:35] Insulin Resistance Can Happen When You Become Nitric Oxide Deficient When you become nitric oxide deficient, it can lead to insulin resistance. When we consume carbs, there's an increase in blood sugar, our body has to dispose of that, and it does that through insulin secretion by the pancreas. Insulin tells the cell to clear glucose from the body. Without nitric oxide being produced, the terminal step of glucose uptake doesn’t happen. If you can’t make nitric oxide, you become insulin resistant. [05:50] Ditch Your Mouthwash and Antacids To Improve Nitric Oxide Production Stop doing the things that disrupt nitric oxide production and start doing the things that promote nitric oxide production. What disrupts nitric oxide production? You are not getting enough nitrate in your diet You are using mouthwash and antiseptic rinses You are using antacids As Dr. Bryan says, it’s better to have bad breath than a heart attack. [11:20] The Connection Between Nitric Oxide, Blood Pressure, and Cardiovascular Disease Nitric oxide is the primary vasodilation in the lining of the blood vessel. When nitric oxide is produced, it opens up the lumen of the blood vessel. Basically, nitric oxide is what controls and regulates blood pressure. People who get on blood pressure medication typically don’t respond with better blood pressure because it does not affect their nitric oxide production. We can treat cardiovascular disease by increasing our ability to produce nitric oxide. [19:50] Nasal Breathing Will Improve Your Nitric Oxide Production and Lower Blood Pressure We are designed to breathe through the nose and eat with the mouth. When we breathe through our nose, it tells our nitric oxide synthase enzyme to make nitric oxide. Through nose breathing, you improve oxygen uptake and lower blood pressure. If you breathe through your mouth, you bypass the nitric oxide production pathway. [22:40] Why It Can Be Challenging To Tell How Many Nitrates You Are Getting From Vegetables The amount of nitrates you get from food will depend on which vegetable you're eating, where they're grown, and whether they're conventionally grown or organically grown. There are few nitrates in animal proteins. Organic foods have ten times fewer nitrates than conventionally grown foods. Make sure to eat vegetables that don’t have herbicides or pesticides. Try and add nitrogen-based fertilizers to your vegetables. [32:20] Increase Nitric Oxide With Some of Dr. Bryan’s Products Like N101 and N.O.Beetz In 20 years of being in the nitric oxide field, Dr. Bryan has developed some safe and effective technology. Diet and lifestyle are the best ways to produce nitric oxide. However, his products can also help. N1O1 Nitric Oxide Lozenges: https://n1o1.com/product/n1o1-nitric-oxide-lozenges/ Use the code ketokamp for 10% off plus free shipping. Nitric oxide lozenges support the body’s natural nitric oxide production and provide a source of N.O. as it dissolves in the mouth. N.O.Beetz: https://no2u.com/product/n-o-beetz/ Use the code ketokamp for 10% off plus free shipping. N.O.Beetz has the power to produce more nitric oxide than raw beets alone. [45:30] Nitric Oxide Will Help Prevent The Covid Virus From Replicating People who get sick and die from Covid can’t make nitric oxide. You're not mobilizing an immune response if you can't make nitric oxide. Giving a patient nitric oxide will prevent the virus from replicating. Also, it will avoid micro-clots. We depend on our ability to make nitric oxide to keep us healthy. AND MUCH MORE!
