E245 The Hidden Key to Energy, Longevity, and Healing
Introducing Dr. Nathan S. Bryan, a pioneer in the field of nitric oxide biology. He holds a PhD in molecular/cellular physiology, has spent over 25 years researching nitric oxide (NO) and its role in human health, and is the founder of technologies and therapies centered on NO. Today we dive deep into what nitric oxide is, why it matters for cardiovascular, brain, immune and metabolic health, how it declines with age or lifestyle, and actionable steps to restore or optimize it.What you’ll learnWhat exactly nitric oxide is and why some call it “the miracle molecule.”The two main pathways by which our bodies produce nitric oxide — the enzyme (NOS) pathway and the dietary nitrate→nitrite pathway — and what disrupts them. Why nitric oxide production declines (age, oxidative stress, lifestyle, oral microbiome, stomach acid, etc.) and what that means for disease risk.How nitric oxide influences key health systems: blood flow and vascular health, brain/cognitive function, immune defense, mitochondrial health, stem-cell mobilization and more. Practical strategies: diet, lifestyle, caution with things that disrupt NO (mouthwash, antacids, etc.), and supplementation/technologies that can support it. Cutting-edge and future directions: regenerative medicine, wound healing, topical NO, etc. Visit the website https://n1o1.com/take the quiz https://7primalwounds.com/Follow https://www.instagram.com/skytalkdoc Subscribe on iTunes | https://apple.co/31qiCQ9Stitcher | https://bit.ly/37tUVdFSpotify | https://spoti.fi/2IQ50HGiHeartRadio | https://ihr.fm/3o927BSGoogle Play Music | https://bit.ly/3kga5qFSSmtEw3UwFIH2YnegmiL

E226 Accountability back into the mix
In this episode, we dig into what it really means to reconnect—with ourselves and with others. We talk about how recognizing those not-so-great emotions is actually the first step to growing, and why understanding the “why” behind what we do can totally change the game.We also get into how our current money system and all the techy stuff have kinda pulled us away from personal connections. Remember bartering? Turns out, it’s not just old-school—it’s a cool way to bring accountability and appreciation back into the mix.And let’s not forget how important nonverbal communication is—sometimes it’s not about the words at all. We touch on how isolation messes with our heads and why those “New Year, New Me” resolutions might not be as helpful as we think.It’s all about being real, finding your people, and navigating this wild, modern world with a little more heart.Follow https://www.instagram.com/skytalkdoc on InstagramSubscribe to Be You Find HappyiTunes | https://apple.co/31qiCQ9Stitcher | https://bit.ly/37tUVdFSpotify | https://spoti.fi/2IQ50HGiHeartRadio | https://ihr.fm/3o927BSGoogle Play Music | https://bit.ly/3kga5qF
