2. The Secret of Nitric Oxide (w/ Dr. Nathan Bryan)
The Science and Spirituality of Healing
- Personal Story:
- Dr. Bryan shares the tragic loss of his son, emphasizing faith as essential for enduring hardship and for his work in molecular medicine.
— Dr. Nathan Bryan [40:00] - “You have to have a relationship with the creator. You have to have a conversation with the creator.”
— Dr. Nathan Bryan [41:22]
- Dr. Bryan shares the tragic loss of his son, emphasizing faith as essential for enduring hardship and for his work in molecular medicine.
What is Nitric Oxide & Why It Matters
- Function:
- A gas naturally produced by the body, acts as a vasodilator—“opens up blood vessels” for better oxygen and nutrient delivery [44:59].
- Regulates stem cell mobilization, mitochondria function, telomere longevity, glucose uptake, and systemic repair [45:46].
- Deficiency Symptoms:
- Erectile dysfunction, high blood pressure, metabolic disease, exercise intolerance, cognitive impairment [51:55].
Lifestyle and Dietary Influences
- What Depletes Nitric Oxide:
- Sugar and simple carbohydrates, especially high glycemic foods
- “Sugar and glucose is sticky… locks down enzymes.”
— Dr. Nathan Bryan [48:48] - Mouthwashes/toothpaste containing antiseptics or fluoride (kills beneficial bacteria)
- Fluoridated water (widespread in US)
- Overuse of antibiotics
Restoring and Supplementing Nitric Oxide
- Diet & Lifestyle:
- Stop what disrupts nitric oxide (sugar, mouthwash, antibiotics); start habits that restore it (nutrition, avoiding fluoride, exercise) [57:20]
- Local honey for allergies (personal anecdote) [50:25]
- Innovations:
- Dr. Bryan developed an oral tablet (N101) that delivers nitric oxide directly [53:34].
- Topical nitric oxide supports wound healing (esp. for diabetic ulcers and chronic wounds) [61:22].
Microbiome and Systemic Health
- “We’re more bacteria than we are human. Bacterial cells outnumber human cells 10 to 1.”
— Dr. Nathan Bryan [59:21] - “There’s a microbiome, there’s a dysbiosis associated with every human disease.”
— Dr. Nathan Bryan [60:11]
Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
-
“Thank God for COVID-19. Man, it opened up a whole lot of people’s intrigue… wait, is everything we’ve been told true or false?”
—Dr. Brian Ardis [07:36] -
“I tell people to take it [natural anti-parasitic] orally and put it topically for people with skin conditions. You should see the testimonials.”
—Dr. Brian Ardis [27:49] -
“If scientific community can figure out how to replace missing nitric oxide in the body, it will change the world and the landscape of medicine.”
—Dr. Nathan Bryan [43:03] (quoting Nobel laureate Lou Ignarro) -
“Glucose is glue... it sticks to proteins, it sticks to enzymes, and when you lock an enzyme in a conformational state, it can’t do its job.”
—Dr. Nathan Bryan [48:48] -
“We destroy the microbiome... you destroy the ecology, you’re gonna get sick.”
—Dr. Nathan Bryan [59:26] -
“I, Dr. Brian Artist, have more faith in what God designed than what man is designing in a lab 24/7.”
—Dr. Brian Ardis [29:42]
