Your fluoride toothpaste and antiseptic mouthwash may be sabotaging your cardiovascular health and canceling out the benefits of your daily workout. In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Bryan to uncover how nitric oxide deficiency drives high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, insulin resistance, and even Alzheimer's disease. Nathan explains why 50% of men on Viagra don't respond with better erections, how mouthwash kills the bacteria your body needs to produce nitric oxide, and why heavy metals scavenge this critical molecule before it can reach your blood vessels.  We explore practical solutions such as using nitric oxide lozenges, reducing exposure to harmful substances, and supporting the oral microbiome to restore your body's natural production.   "Without nitric oxide, your body cannot heal. It's not going to get adequate blood flow, you're going to experience runaway inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune dysfunction." ~ Nathan Bryan   In This Episode: - Nitric oxide and its importance for our health - Nitric oxide and erectile dysfunction - Exercise and bacteria for nitric oxide production - Oral microbiome and dangers in your mouthwash - Signs and consequences of low nitric oxide - Age-related decline in nitric oxide production - Heavy metals and toxins that scavenge nitric oxide - How to restore nitric oxide - Nitric oxide lozenges and skin care solutions - The beet product myth debunked - High blood pressure medication limitations - Who needs nitric oxide supplementation?   Products & Resources Mentioned: N1O1 Nitric Oxide Lozenges: Available at https://n101.com  N1O1 Nitric Oxide Skincare Serum: Perfect for youthful skin maintenance at https://n101.com  Puori Grass Fed Whey Protein: Use code WENDY at http://Puori.com/wendy for 32% off, plus a free shaker with a subscription.

High blood pressure is one of the most common and treatable risk factors for cognitive decline, and researchers are still working to understand exactly how it affects the brain. A preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine, published in Neuron, suggests hypertension may trigger early gene expression changes in the brain, affecting neurons, blood vessels, and white matter before there's any measurable rise in blood pressure.Dr. Costantino Iadecola, the study's senior author, is a neurologist and the director of the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute at Weill Cornell Medicine. His research examines how brain blood vessels support cognition and what happens when that system is disrupted by vascular risk factors like hypertension.In this interview with Being Patient's Mark Niu, Iadecola explains that in a controlled mouse model, researchers saw changes in blood vessels within days of triggering hypertension. He notes that high blood pressure is part of a broader process that can quietly affect multiple organs, including the brain, before obvious symptoms appear. He also discusses why controlling blood pressure dramatically reduces stroke risk but may not lower dementia risk as much as hoped, suggesting prevention may need to start earlier and be more individualized. For now, he emphasizes improving diet, staying active, and taking medication when appropriate to manage blood pressure. If you loved listening to this Live Talk, visit our website to find more of our Alzheimer's coverage and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient: Twitter:   / being_patient_  Instagram:   / beingpatientvoices  Facebook:   / beingpatientalzheimers  LinkedIn:   / being-patient  Being Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet for news and reporting about brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Study : https://www.mdpi.com/2887154A new study has linked plastic use with high blood pressure. Microplastics are tiny fragments of plastic less than 5 mm in size, they're in the water we drink , the air we breathe and the food we eat. One study followed 8 healthy individuals who agreed to limit their consumption of plastic bottled beverages and only drink tap water instead. Their blood pressure measurement were taken before and after and the results were eye opening.

High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for deaths globally. But what if your blood pressure numbers were only part of that story? In this episode, we're joined by leading cardiologist Dr Sanjay Gupta, who explains why blood pressure is not a disease, but often a scream for help. Together with ZOE's Chief Scientist, Professor Sarah Berry, he explores when blood pressure is a harmless response to stress, food, or movement, and when it signals real, long-term damage. You'll learn why blood pressure targets aren't universal, why worrying can make things worse, and why quality of life matters as much as numbers. This episode also breaks down what you can do to lower your blood pressure. Not quick fixes. Not pills. But everyday lifestyle changes that address the root cause. If your blood pressure is your body sending a message, what might it be asking you to change? Unwrap the truth about your food

A recent report in the medical journal Open Heart done by The Irish Longitudinal Study on Aging at Trinity College Dublin, showed that the majority of over-50s with high blood pressure in Ireland are not having their condition adequately managed.To discuss the importance of this, Ciara is joined by Assistant Adjuvant Professor in Public Health and Primary Care at Trinity College Dublin and Kildare GP, Dr Brendan O'Shea.

Nearly half of U.S. adults have undiagnosed hypertension, which increases risks for stroke, heart attack, and early brain impairment due to reduced oxygen and nutrient delivery to neural tissue Early hypertension triggers rapid cellular damage, including endothelial aging, neuronal energy loss, myelin disruption, and blood-brain barrier leakage, all of which accelerate inflammation and cognitive decline even before symptoms appear Long-term high blood pressure leads to changes such as white matter hyperintensities, microbleeds, and brain volume loss. These findings are strongly linked to slower processing, stroke risk, and dementia Dementia risk rises with midlife hypertension, and older adults with high blood pressure show accelerated brain aging; regular monitoring beginning around age 40 helps reduce long-term cognitive decline Treatment can reverse some early damage, while lifestyle strategies such as diet changes, exercise, and better sleep significantly lower blood pressure and help protect long-term brain health

Text us a comment or question!If you've ever been told, “Your cholesterol looks normal - nothing to worry about,” this episode could save your life. Because the uncomfortable truth is this: a huge percentage of heart attacks happen to people who were told their numbers were “fine.” No warning signs. No symptoms. Just a moment that changes everything. In this episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, Kevin English sits down with world-class preventive cardiologist Dr. John Osborne to unpack why traditional cholesterol tests often miss the real danger - and what men and women over 50 need to know if they want to stay strong, active, and fully engaged in life. Dr. Osborne is one of fewer than 50 physicians in the U.S. triple board-certified in cardiology, hypertension, and lipidology. He's Harvard-trained, nationally recognized, and has personally interpreted 25,000+ advanced heart scans, proving that heart disease is not random—it's predictable, preventable, and often reversible. This is a must-listen episode if you're over 50, feel “pretty healthy,” and want to make sure you're not unknowingly sitting on a ticking time bomb. In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why “normal” cholesterol numbers can still hide serious heart diseaseThe critical difference between cholesterol levels and arterial plaqueWhy stress tests and basic blood work often miss early heart diseaseWhat Dr. Osborne calls the “cardiac colonoscopy” - and why it mattersHow heart disease quietly develops 20–30 years before a heart attackWhy fit, active adults over 50 can still be at riskWhat proactive, prevention-first heart care actually looks likeThe steps you can take now to protect your health, longevity, and legacy If your goal is to lose fat, build muscle, stay energetic, and participate fully in life for decades to come, your heart health matters more than ever. This conversation challenges outdated assumptions, empowers you with better questions to ask your doctor, and gives you clarity on what *real* prevention looks like - without fear-mongering or hype. If you're too young to feel this old - and too smart to rely on outdated advice - this episode is for you.

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. Dr. Mike covers exercise, weight loss, sodium and potassium balance, magnesium, breathing techniques, sauna use, sleep optimization, and evidence-based supplements like olive leaf extract, beetroot, citrulline, and nattokinase. He also explains when medication is appropriate, why ARBs are often preferred, and which drugs can interfere with exercise performance.

Unmasking Hidden Sugars in 'Healthy' Drinks: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, examines the surprising amounts of sugar found in commonly perceived 'healthy' drinks. She discusses how beverages like energy drinks, fruit smoothies, and chai lattes can exceed the daily recommended sugar intake, based on a study by Ben's Natural Health. Leyla warns that even health-focused products and homemade drinks can contain high sugar levels, which can impact weight, blood sugar levels, and overall health. She emphasizes the importance of being an 'ingredient sleuth' and making informed choices. 

Storms on the Sun can cause all kinds of problems. They can knock out satellites and black out power grids. They can interfere with GPS and disrupt some radio broadcasts. They can even have an impact on human health. Solar storms happen when the Sun’s magnetic field gets tangled up. Lines of magnetic force can snap, then reconnect. That produces outbursts of radiation and charged particles. When the particles hit Earth, they’re funneled toward the surface by our planet’s own magnetic field. And that’s what causes the problems. Among the health concerns, particles and radiation can penetrate deeper into the atmosphere around the magnetic poles. That zaps anyone who’s flying at high altitudes in those regions. It’s not a fatal dose, but it’s enough to cause concerns. So airlines divert flights to avoid exposing passengers and crew. There’s also evidence that these bouts of “space weather” can boost people’s blood pressure. In one study, researchers in China looked at half a million blood pressure readings taken over six years. And they found a definite jump around the time of solar storms – especially among women and those with hypertension. An American team found similar results among older men. There’s no consensus about how space weather might cause blood pressure to spike. For now, all we know is that stormy skies on the Sun can cause lots of problems for the people on Earth.

Most people think high blood pressure is just about “bad pipes,” but it's really a whole–body problem driven by inflammation, insulin resistance, and years of eating sugary, processed foods. Hidden problems like sleep apnea, belly fat, toxins, and not getting enough key nutrients slowly damage your blood vessels and raise the risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and memory loss. Instead of simply pushing the numbers down with medication, the Functional Medicine approach looks for the real “why” behind high blood pressure in each person—food choices, sleep, stress, genetics, environment, and more. By rebuilding health with real food and targeted nutrients, better sleep, movement, and stress relief, many of these root causes can be reversed or improved. The message is clear: high blood pressure isn't destiny, and with the right changes, the body often has a powerful ability to heal. In this episode, I speak about, along with Dr. George Papanicolaou and Dr. Cindy Geyer, how high blood pressure is largely driven by inflammation and lifestyle factors, but with some foundational changes it can be reversed. Dr. George Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital. Over time as the healthcare system made it harder for patients to receive personal care, Dr. Papanicolaou decided a change was needed. He began training in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. In 2015, he established Cornerstone Personal Health—a practice dedicated entirely to Functional Medicine. In August 2017, Dr. Papanicolaou joined The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Cindy Geyer received her bachelor of science and her doctor of medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed residency in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y. and is triple board certified in internal medicine, integrative medicine and lifestyle medicine.

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women nationwide, yet during midlife—the crucial time for prevention—many women fall out of regular medical care.Host Dr. Rachel Pope is joined by Dr. Lisa Larkin, an internal medicine and women's health expert and founder of Ms. Medicine. They discuss why women's cardiovascular risk spikes around menopause and what you can do about it now.The Midlife Risk SpikeDr. Larkin highlights a failure in the healthcare system: women aged 40 to 60 often receive the least medical care, right when prevention is most critical.The perimenopausal transition causes rapid and significant metabolic changes: Cholesterol rises and HDL protection declines. Development of insulin resistance. Increase in visceral fat (the "risky fat" around organs), which is a marker for cardiovascular disease.Standard risk tools often underestimate risk in women because they don't account for sex-specific factors like adverse pregnancy outcomes (preeclampsia, gestational diabetes). Women are also often allowed to run higher blood pressures, missing opportunities for early intervention.Management & The "Missed Boat" QuestionDr. Larkin stresses that Body Composition is more important than BMI, as most women gain risky visceral fat during this time. She recommends tracking body composition annually.For women in their mid-60s who ask if they've missed the boat on prevention or Hormone Therapy (HT): Assessment is Key: Dr. Larkin performs a highly individualized assessment, often utilizing a Coronary Calcium Score to check for established plaque. If Risk is Low: A patient with perfect health metrics and a Calcium Score of zero may still be a candidate for HT to treat symptoms and support bone health. If Risk is High: The priority is to aggressively fix every single risk factor (hypertension, elevated lipids) before considering hormones, as established plaque may carry more risk with estrogen.Dr. Larkin emphasizes that women must be their best advocates because the healthcare system is currently failing to provide the comprehensive care needed during this pivotal stage of life.

EP. 237 - Grab my FREE GUIDE: Assess Your Metabolic Health Today I'm covering one of my favorite topics: high blood pressure. I've yet to meet a case I couldn't help significantly course correct with lifestyle changes and a solid, integrative approach to care. This truly is not a drug deficiency problem. High blood pressure is a lifestyle issue, plain and simple, and a brand-new study from October 2025 drives that point home beautifully. In this episode, I'm breaking down that research, which looked at millions of people and found that almost every case of heart disease, stroke, or heart failure had at least one non-optimal risk factor in play. We'll talk about what those risk factors are, what they mean for you, and most importantly, what you can do about them.  Topics Discussed: → What are the main causes of high blood pressure? → Can you lower blood pressure naturally without medication? → How does lifestyle affect cardiovascular health? → What are non-optimal risk factors for heart disease? → What is the naturopathic approach to hypertension?

High blood pressure—often called the "silent killer"—affects one in three adults, yet many don't even know they have it. In this episode of The Science of Self-Healing, we explore whether it's truly possible to bring blood pressure down naturally—and the answer might surprise you. Join us as we uncover the root causes of hypertension and discuss proven, bioregulatory ways to restore balance. You'll learn how nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and targeted herbal and nutrient support all play vital roles in regulating blood pressure. From the DASH and Mediterranean diets to nitric oxide, CoQ10, and forest bathing, this episode connects the dots between daily habits and cardiovascular health. Discover how small, consistent changes—what you eat, how you move, how you rest, and how you connect—can profoundly influence heart health. It's time to rethink blood pressure management and rediscover your body's natural ability to self-heal.

Have you ever tried to make a big change, but then struggled without guidance or support? That was Dawn's case, a past client of mine. In this episode, I'm sharing with you her story. Dawn is a full-time nurse with a family of five. She had tried to go vegan on her own previously but stopped soon afterwards when she began feeling hungry and often weak. Then a year later, she met me and we began working together.   The result? Through coaching, she began to experience more energy, and felt healthier and stronger in her body. She felt more emotionally happy and is now able to stay confidently plant-powered, even as her family continues a regular diet.

Text us a comment or question!What if the secret to slowing - or even reversing - the effects of aging was already inside your body? In this fascinating conversation, Coach Kevin sits down with Dr. Nathan Bryan, world-renowned molecular scientist, nitric oxide researcher, and biotech entrepreneur, to uncover the molecule that could be the key to lasting energy, vitality, and longevity. Nitric oxide (NO) is often called the body's master signaling molecule - it regulates blood flow, oxygen delivery, metabolism, and even sexual health. But here's the kicker: production of this critical molecule drops by as much as 50% by the time we reach our 40s and 50 - leading to fatigue, brain fog, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, and accelerated aging. Dr. Bryan breaks down why nitric oxide levels decline, the lifestyle habits that sabotage your body's ability to make it, and simple science-backed strategies to restore production naturally - so you can feel decades younger from the inside out. If you care about optimal health, performance, and aging well… this episode is a must-listen. In This Episode, You'll Learn:What nitric oxide is - and why it's essential for every system in your bodyThe four major signs you might be nitric oxide deficientHow common habits like mouthwash, fluoride, and antacids destroy nitric oxide productionThe role of nitric oxide in sexual performance, heart health, and brain function Why “beet supplements” might not be doing what you think they areThe simple daily practices that naturally boost nitric oxide (including one most people overlook)How nitric oxide could revolutionize medicine, aging, and human performance Resources & LinksConnect with Dr. Nathan Bryan: https://www.n1o1.comFollow Dr. Bryan on Instagram: @drnathansbryanCheck out Dr. Bryan's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DrNathanSBryanNitricOxideGrab his book: The Secret of Nitric Oxide: Bringing the Science to Life - https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Nitric-Oxide-Bringing-Science-Life/dp/1899694307/ Want to Build a Lean, Strong, Vital Body After 50?Join Coach Kevin and the team at The Silver Edge for personalized nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle coaching designed to help you look and feel your best at any age.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the critical health impacts of visceral fat, which is the hidden fat around the organs, and its role in accelerating heart aging. Drawing from recent research conducted by the Medical Research Council and published in the European Heart Journal, she explains how visceral fat differs from subcutaneous fat and its association with inflammation, heart diseases, and premature aging. The episode also highlights the importance of exercise, diet, particularly low-carb intake, and hormone replacement therapy in managing visceral fat and reducing health risks. Leyla also shares practical dietary advice and underscores the significance of focusing on fat distribution over total body weight for better health outcomes.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers breaks down 12 key warning signs that may reveal a vitamin D deficiency. You'll hear how low levels of this critical nutrient affect mood, immune balance, pain sensitivity, and even sex hormone production.   You'll also learn how vitamin D deficiency can trigger issues like daytime fatigue, frequent illness, allergies, muscle weakness, and even higher blood pressure. These insights will help you connect symptoms you may not have linked back to vitamin D.   Finally, you'll discover why optimizing vitamin D isn't just about supplements—it's also about cofactors like magnesium, vitamin A, zinc, and K2. Dr. Jockers explains how to test, track, and support your levels so your body can truly thrive.     In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Vitamin D Deficiency 03:39 12 Shocking Signs of Vitamin D Deficiency 05:06 Greater Pain Sensitivity and Case Study 06:17 Depression, Mood Disorders, and Daytime Sleepiness 07:37 Frequent Illness and Immune System Support 08:32 Muscle Weakness and Bone Health 09:09 Low Sex Drive and High Blood Pressure 12:49 Learning Disorders and Optimal Vitamin D Levels 14:08 Vitamin D Sources and Supplementation 17:01 Advanced Vitamin D Absorption Tips 19:22 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   If you want to burn belly fat…boost your energy levels…balance blood sugar…or relieve swelling in your legs or feet… Then you need to check out PureHealth Research immediately.   This company makes some amazing health-boosting supplements that are manufactured right here in America.   They only use natural, non-GMO ingredients that are backed by the latest science and proven to work.   And right now, you can save 35% on all of their products with this special subscriber-only offer.

In this episode, we review the newly published 2025 ACC/AHA hypertension guidelines. Key Concepts Instead of the Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE) from 2013, the 2025 hypertension guidelines recommend a new risk equation called PREVENT, which incorporates new risk factors and does not include race as part of the risk calculation. The guidelines recommend starting two antihypertensive medications for initial therapy in stage II hypertension and one antihypertensive medication for stage I hypertension. The guidelines no longer recommend specific first-line therapies for black patients. Instead, all patients without compelling indications should be initiated on a thiazide, ACE inhibitor, ARB, or dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker regardless of race/ethnicity. All patients should have a blood pressure goal of < 130/80 mmHg. Some patients may consider a more stringent goal of < 120/80 if they have diabetes or are at a higher risk of future ASCVD events.

Insulin resistance triggers everything from Alzheimer's to erectile dysfunction. Dr. Benjamin Bikman examines the metabolic crisis shared by 50% of America.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1201What We Discuss with Dr. Benjamin Bikman:Half of US adults have insulin resistance without knowing it. It's the upstream driver of most chronic diseases — from high blood pressure to erectile dysfunction to Alzheimer's — not just diabetes.Medical focus on blood glucose misses the real problem. Insulin levels are rarely tested, yet elevated insulin drives disease years before blood sugar becomes abnormal.Fat cell size matters more than total fat. East Asians develop insulin resistance with less weight gain because they have fewer, larger fat cells versus more, smaller ones in Europeans.Insulin resistance causes brain starvation. When neurons can't access glucose due to insulin resistance, cognition declines — which is why some in the medical community refer to Alzheimer's as "type 3 diabetes."Type 2 diabetes is reversible through carb restriction. In one study, 11 newly diagnosed patients reversed their diabetes in 90 days by eating unlimited protein and fat, just limiting carbs.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
