Send us a textDr. Nathan 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.This technology is now validated in six published clinical trials. He is also a successful entrepreneur who has commercialized his nitric oxide technology through the formation of N1o1 (formerly Pneuma Nitric Oxide), whose products can be found on N1o1.com, and Amazon.Dr. Nathan Bryan has been involved in nitric oxide research for the past 18 years and has made many seminal discoveries in the field. These discoveries and findings have transformed the development of safe and effective functional bioactive natural products in the treatment and prevention of human disease and may provide the basis for new preventive or therapeutic strategies in many chronic diseases.Dr. Bryan has published a number of highly cited papers and books, including his latest book The Secret of Nitric Oxide—Bringing The Science To LifeFind Dr. Bryan at-https://n1o1.com/Amazon- The Secret of Nitric Oxide—Bringing The Science To LifeYT- Dr Nathan Bryan Nitric OxideFB- N1o1 by Pneuma Nitric OxideIG- N1o1 LifeFind Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

Send us a textIn this Fusion Hack Nikki breaks down how to stay socially present while staying locked-in during prep—without turning food into a stress point or making every event feel like a sacrifice. The episode starts with a practical way to identify where you are in your prep journey so your strategy matches your current phase, not an unrealistic standard. From there, Nikki focuses on a core lever most competitors overlook: communication—with yourself, with your coach, and with the people around you.A major theme is changing your perspective and language around food. Nikki explains how the words you use (“I can't,” “I'm not allowed,” “I'm missing out”) quietly shape your identity and adherence. When you shift that language, you shift your behavior. The conversation gets tactical: how to make clean, confident adjustments at restaurants, how to think outside the box at social events, and how to reduce friction by simply asking for what you need—because most of the time, accommodations are easier than you think.Nikki emphasizes decoupling food from fun so your social life isn't dependent on going off-plan. The result is a calmer, more sustainable prep experience—rooted in clarity, intention, and respecting the importance of what you're doing.Nikki Lagorio's philosophy is rooted in the belief that movement is medicine and that true empowerment begins with the body. Her background is remarkably diverse, reflecting her lifelong commitment to physical excellence. Nikki excelled in collegiate club soccer, qualified for state championships in the 800m in track and field, competed as a CrossFit athlete, and became a 53kg USA Olympic Weightlifter, all before earning her IFBB Pro Bikini status. Her purpose was further shaped during nearly a decade in education as a high school teacher and coach, where witnessing her students achieve their goals sparked a deep passion for cultivating self-belief and growth. Today, Nikki channels her educational and athletic expertise into coaching individuals to build a powerful, enduring relationship with themselves through movement and mindful living. She specializes in integrating high-performance athletics with behavioral health, guiding others to develop mental fortitude and unlock their innate capabilities.

Send us a textA quiet glow at midnight can echo through your biology like a shout. We dig into new research showing that even modest night light is tied to higher risks of heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, and coronary disease—and we connect the dots to circadian rhythm, metabolism, and the choices we make at home every evening. This isn't fearmongering; it's a roadmap for reclaiming sleep, stabilizing blood pressure, and improving insulin sensitivity with tools you already have.We break down how light at night elevates stress hormones, flattens the nocturnal blood pressure dip, and disrupts the cellular repair that should dominate while you sleep. We also unpack a striking analysis of more than 130,000 adults with insomnia: chronic melatonin users were significantly more likely to be hospitalized for heart failure and faced higher all-cause mortality compared with matched non-users. The signal is associative, but the magnitude invites caution and a rethink. Instead of flooding the brain with a nightly dose, we focus on rebuilding your own melatonin through light timing: bright and blue by day, warm and dim by night, and truly dark for sleep.You'll leave with a simple, science-backed plan. Step outside for morning light to anchor your clock. Two hours before bed, step down brightness and remove blue wavelengths—aim for about one lux, roughly a moonlit room. Use warm 2700K bulbs, dimmers, and screen night modes from sunset to sunrise. Align meals with daylight, avoid late-night snacking, and give your nervous system a real off switch. Small changes to photons can nudge hormones, vessels, and mitochondria in the right direction within weeks.If this conversation sparks an “aha,” share it with a friend who struggles with sleep, hit follow for more science-backed self-care, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Send us a textNikki Lagorio pulls back the curtain on what competitive growth actually costs—and what it gives you when you stop chasing validation and start building identity. The episode begins with a look at Nikki's posing work and the standards she holds herself to, then quickly deepens as she shares the moment panic attacks entered the picture and forced a hard truth: you can only ignore real life and buried emotions for so long before your body demands honesty. From there, the conversation becomes a practical guide to showing up as your authentic self—especially when you're used to performing, people-pleasing, or measuring your worth by outcomes.Nikki breaks down “the work of the work”: the unglamorous reps that build confidence, integrity, and self-trust in the off-season when no one is clapping. She explores the self-improvement paradox—does confidence come before action, or does action create confidence?—and reframes success as consistency under pressure, not motivation. A major theme is shifting from comparison to community: being proud of the women around you, competing with them instead of against them, and recognizing that your personal best can matter more than winning. We end with the questions that separate contenders from performers: are you chasing achievement or approval, and did you truly do everything in your power to make yourself proud? Because in the end, the climb is the fun part—and the real win is who you become on the way up.Nikki Lagorio's philosophy is rooted in the belief that movement is medicine and that true empowerment begins with the body.

She also introduces a more sustainable approach to growth: finding “stepping stones” instead of fixating on one massive end goal—so you can build momentum without burning out.From there, the conversation expands into how The Litman Theory applies beyond one area of life, offering a lens for personal accountability, decision-making, and the ripple effects of everyday choices. The episode closes with a grounded discussion on mindset and communication—especially why it can be hard to compromise with other viewpoints, and how self-awareness plays a role in staying open, calm, and intentional as you grow.Kerryne Henich is an accomplished IFBB Bikini Professional, Olympian, and dedicated Fitbody Fusion Coach. Her competition journey began in 2008 in the Figure division, but after transitioning to Bikini in 2011, she earned her pro card at the 2015 NPC Jr National Championships and qualified for the Olympia in 2018.

Send us a textReal estate developer Gary Brooks spent decades building some of Oklahoma City's most ambitious projects. But after years of chronic stress, heart surgery, and a family cancer diagnosis, he reached a breaking point. When he finally stepped away, he realized something unsettling: success had masked how unhealthy he had become.In this episode, Dr. Kevin White sits down with Gary to trace how that personal wake-up call turned into a larger sense of responsibility. Gary shares how learning to track sleep, stress, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk reshaped the way he understood health, and why “normal” lab work had quietly failed to tell the full story. As his own health improved, the question shifted outward: what happens when you realize your friends, your workforce, and your city may be heading down the same path?That realization became the catalyst for the Healthy City by 2040 summit. Gary explains why the event is not about trends or quick fixes, but about creating a credible starting point for prevention, personal agency, and long-term health at scale. The conversation explores why Oklahoma City's health rankings matter, how mental health and environment shape physical outcomes, and why empowering people with better tools may be the most meaningful intervention of all.If you've ever felt worn down beneath outward success, or wondered how personal change can ripple outward into something that serves others, this episode offers a grounded reminder: transformation often begins when one person decides not to accept the status quo anymore.Learn more about the Healthy City by 2040 initiative and the upcoming summit at www.healthycityinitiative.com and follow along on Instagram at @healthycityinitiative.If you enjoyed this episode, follow The Daily Apple and leave a review.

The best-seller herbal supplements we're covering today are yohimbe & horny goat weed. They placed #30 and 31 on the list we're using for this sequence of episodes. These two are marketed & sought-after as “male aphrodisiacs”, “testosterone boosters”, and even “herbal Viagra”. While it's true that each can “help” with some forms and manifestations of erectile dysfunction, in the short term or “in the moment”, they cannot correct the underlying issues… and might even make them worse.They're also quite potent, energetically speaking: heating, drying, and tonifying to a high degree. These qualities are primarily derived from potent constituents such as yohimbine and icariin. Each herb also possesses a multitude of other constituents apart from those more famous ones, which means its actions are diverse and in some cases self-contradictory.There's also a very serious problem in the supplement market for these herbs, which is that these products are frequently contaminated or adulterated. Many cases of ‘herbal' supplements for ED have been found to contain pharmaceutical drugs. In other words, that “herbal Viagra” was actually just… Viagra. Of the two of these herbs, Epimedium is significantly safer – but to be honest, we don't advise people to work with either of these plants. Other methods of addressing the issue at hand are more successful and more permanent, starting with herbal work to improve circulation and emotional steadiness. That's perhaps not as exciting as “herbal Cialis”, but it's safer and more realistic!CLICK HERE FOR FULL SHOW NOTES & REFERENCESIt's worth emphasizing that the majority of cases of erectile dysfunction, and several other types of sexual dysfunction or performance issues, are attributable to circulatory issues rather than hormonal imbalances. If you're looking for herbs to help with this trouble, and to address circulatory, blood, and heart health more broadly, then our course Cardiovascular Health is for you!Like all our offerings, this online video course comes with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, lifetime access to current & future course material, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more.If you have a moment, it would help us a lot if you could subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

AJP-Heart and Circulatory Physiology has been championing women's health research for many years, and in 2021 launched a special call for papers, which later became a standing collection in the journal, that has amassed over 100 peer reviewed publications focused on women's cardiovascular health. In 2024 the American Physiological Society launched the Women's Health Research Initiative aimed at addressing critical scientific gaps underlying health conditions that uniquely impact women. In this episode, Dr. Jason Carter (Baylor College) interviews authors Jenna Stone (McMaster University), Dr. Maureen McDonald (McMaster University), and Dr. Kerrie Moreau (University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus) about their recent Review article published as part of the Women's Health Research Initiative. Stone et al. discuss how traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors have been historically misidentified in females, the importance of certain metrics such as arterial stiffness and vascular endothelial function, and how early risk indicators are impacted during premenopausal period, pregnancy, and menopause.

Send us a textIn this Fusion Hack, Allyson Spungin and Drew Brannon break down the truth behind junk volume—one of the most misunderstood concepts in resistance training. They explain how proper volume is built through intentional working sets, why warm-ups, feeders, and back-off sets are not counted as true volume, and how progressive overload should be tracked over time without ego-driven weight jumps.This episode clarifies how volume must be individualized based on athlete experience, biofeedback, readiness, and training phase, while dispelling the myth that weight must increase every week to see progress. You'll also learn how accessory work supports growth, when higher-rep volume is appropriate, and how to manage rest intervals to maximize performance and recovery.Allyson Spungin is the Director of Training, Programming, and Educational Development for Fitbody Fusion and a Master Trainer with more than a decade of hands-on experience.

In this solo episode, Dr. Mike breaks down everything you need to know about blood pressure, why it's so commonly misunderstood, how to measure it correctly, and what optimal numbers really look like. He explains why 120/80 isn't ideal for everyone, why blood pressure variability can be more dangerous than steady high readings, and how sleep, stress, and undiagnosed sleep apnea quietly drive hypertension. The episode walks through a clear, practical framework for managing blood pressure using lifestyle interventions first, followed by supplements, and medications only when necessary.

Is Ubiquinol the Missing Nutrient for Lifelong Heart Health?In this eye-opening episode of Wellness by Designs, Dr Ross Walker, a renowned cardiologist with 25 years dedicated to preventative medicine, challenges the conventional approach to heart disease, statins and cholesterol management. Central to the discussion is ubiquinol, the active form of CoQ10, essential for mitochondrial energy production and a powerful antioxidant. Dr Walker explains how our natural production of ubiquinol begins declining around age 30 and drops sharply by 50, contributing to fatigue and reduced cardiovascular resilience.Dr Walker explores why many patients with “normal” cholesterol still develop significant coronary artery disease, arguing that coronary calcium scoring offers a far superior risk assessment tool than standard cholesterol tests. Dr Walker also addresses statin-associated muscle symptoms, recommending 150 mg of ubiquinol daily for statin users, citing research showing a 50% reduction in muscle problems, and up to 300 mg for those with heart failure to support cardiac function and endothelial health.From mitochondrial health to protection against oxidative stress, this episode highlights why ubiquinol may be a cornerstone in maintaining cardiovascular wellness and why a more personalised, evidence-based approach is needed to truly prevent heart disease.Connect with Dr Walker: Home - Dr Ross Walker Shownotes and references are available on the Designs for Health website Register as a Designs for Health Practitioner and discover quality practitioner- only supplements at www.designsforhealth.com.au Follow us on SocialsInstagram: DesignsforhealthausFacebook: Designsforhealthaus DISCLAIMER: The Information provided in the Wellness by Designs podcast is for educational purposes only; the information presented is not intended to be used as medical advice; please seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional if what you have heard here today raises questions or concerns relating to your healthShownotes and references are available on the Designs for Health websiteRegister as a Designs for Health Practitioner and discover quality practitioner- only supplements at www.designsforhealth.com.au Follow us on Socials Instagram: Designsforhealthaus Facebook: Designsforhealthaus DISCLAIMER: The Information provided in the Wellness by Designs podcast is for educational purposes only; the information presented is not intended to be used as medical advice; please seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional if what you have heard here today raises questions or concerns relating to your health

Send us a textIn this Fusion Hack, Dove Putterman breaks down one of the most misunderstood areas of physique development: the difference between training your abs and building a truly flat, tight, pressure-controlled core. Dove dives straight into the purpose of LPF (Low Pressure Fitness) — originally designed to help the body recover from the internal trauma of childbirth, and now used to optimize pressure management for athletes of all levels. Dove explains why you can have a low body-fat percentage yet still struggle with a protruding midsection, how LPF activates the transverse abdominis, and why so many athletes confuse “ab training” with actual core function. She breaks down common misconceptions about crunch variations, compounded ab work, and why your core is working in every workout, whether you realize it or not.Dr. Dove Putterman is a wife and a proud mother of FIVE amazing children! Seven years after giving birth to triplets, she stepped on stage for the first time and went on to earn her Wellness IFBB Pro card at the Natural Canadian Pro Qualifier. Struggling with core control issues after pregnancy, she discovered Low Pressure Fitness through the bodybuilding community which not only transformed her physique and remedied her lower back pain, but also inspired her to become a coach working with athletes from amateur competitors to Olympians and helping them master core control for posing, training and stability not to mention developing that hourglass shape on stage!https://www.instagram.com/drdove_ifbbprohttps://www.fitbodyfusion.com/pages/online-competition-coachingWelcome to FitBody Lifestyle the podcast hosted by Jami and Greg DeBernard!

I am honored to have Dr. Tom Dayspring join me again today for another AMA session. He and I have done eight podcasts before, and this is a continuation of our last Ask Me Anything episode.  Dr Dayspring is an esteemed expert on internal medicine and clinical lipidology. He is likely one of the most influential worldwide lipid experts, so I am thrilled to have him back with me to dive into various topics related to listener questions, including the impact of hormone replacement therapy on lipid changes, methods of administration, and why bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is preferable for managing both menopausal symptoms and lipid health. We discuss medications, including PCSK9 inhibitors and GLP-1s, as well as intermittent fasting, lipids, and cardiovascular disease risk. We also examine how heart disease develops gradually, over time, the impact of stress and lifestyle, and Dr. Dayspring shares the labs he recommends beyond traditional lipids, ApoB, and LpA. In our discussion, Dr. Dayspring noted that he was not in a position to speak about GLP-1 therapies or microdosing. Since I received many questions from listeners on those topics, I will host a future solo AMA to address some of their concerns.

I have Andie Crosby with me again for the second part of a two-part series on why cardiovascular health is the number one longevity lever for women.  Today, in Part 2, we explore how a healthy endothelial glycocalyx matrix helps your body produce more nitric oxide, which supports energy, sexual vitality, and even skin radiance. We also explain what could damage your ability to produce nitric oxide naturally. If you have not yet done so, please listen to Part 1 first, to learn about the endothelial glycocalyx matrix before listening to Part 2. How to Support Nitric Oxide Production Maintain a healthy glycocalyx through diet, exercise, and lifestyle Test your nitric oxide levels to know if you are deficient Supplement strategically if your levels are low  Exercise regularly to increase nitric oxide during activity and improve recovery afterward Bio: Andie Crosby Andie Crosby is a seasoned business leader and passionate advocate for health and longevity.  After decades leading marketing and brand development for companies like Nike, Apple, and Procter & Gamble, her focus shifted in her 40s when she experienced firsthand the impact of hormonal changes, inflammation, and the power of nutrition to transform health.  A simple elimination diet revealed how profoundly food and lifestyle impacted her well-being, sparking a deep curiosity about health and healing.  This led her to The Institute for Functional Medicine, where she became the first Chief Marketing Officer.  Over ten years, Andie built IFM's marketing and partnerships teams, driving a 13-fold increase in practitioner education and advancing personalized, systems-based care.  Today, as President of Calroy Health Sciences, Andie leads innovation in cardiovascular and joint health.  Her mission is to raise awareness of the vascular system's foundational role - not only in disease prevention but also in longevity, brain health, and performance.
