When we think about long-term health and longevity, nitric oxide production probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But today’s guest explains why this crucial molecule plays a key role in our bodies—and the tell-tale signs of low production that can ultimately contribute to chronic disease.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Nathan Bryan to explore why nitric oxide is the holy grail of molecules for long-term health—and the top lifestyle factors that can make or break its production. Dr. Bryan ranks the biggest disruptors of nitric oxide, including alcohol, poor sleep, a sedentary lifestyle, ultra-processed foods, and chronic stress, and dives into the latest research on how they impact your body. He also breaks down the critical role nitric oxide plays in disease prevention, from chronic illness to Alzheimer’s. If you’re looking for a masterclass on how to boost nitric oxide production and what habits you need to tweak, this episode is a must-listen.

Dr. Nathan Bryan is a renowned biomedical researcher known for his groundbreaking work on nitric oxide (NO) biology. Dr. Bryan's research has significantly advanced our understanding of NO's critical roles in cardiovascular health, immune function, and neurobiology. Beyond academia, he advocates for public health, translating his research into practical solutions for improving human health. His new book is The Secret of Nitric Oxide.
