How Low Nitric Oxide Drives Heart Disease, Poor Sexual Health, and Chronic Inflammation with Nathan S. Bryan, Ph.D.

This episode is brought to you by Birch Mattress by Helix and InsideTracker. Each year, approximately 700,000 lives are lost to cardiovascular disease. Shockingly, half of these individuals experience no prior symptoms before an event. Low levels of nitric oxide—a molecule that promotes vasodilation and smooth blood flow—could be largely responsible, and by recognizing the signs of deficiency, we can take steps to raise our levels and lower our risk. Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Nathan Bryan to talk about why nitric oxide is the single most underrated molecule when it comes to our short- and long-term health. Dr. Bryan is an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry. He’s been involved in nitric oxide research for the past 20 years, and his many seminal discoveries have resulted in dozens of US and international patents. Dr. Bryan's discoveries have led to product and technology innovations that have improved patient care worldwide. He is the founder of Nitric Oxide Innovations, LLC, a privately held, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that is actively engaged in the discovery and development of nitric oxide-based therapies.
