Episode #111: Nobel Prize Super Molecule, “NO”: Better Performance, Brain, Skin, Aging & Sex
My guest this week is Dr. Nathan S. Bryan.
In this episode, Dr. Bryan and I discuss nitric oxide and nitric oxide supplementation, including the new lozenges and topical line. Dr. Bryan is not only part of the brains behind Berkley Life (we all LOVE!), but also NO2U. As an expert studying NO for so long, he is a go-to resource for any questions. We start out explaining the foundations: What is nitric oxide, what are the functions in the body, why do we need optimal levels and why are nitric oxide levels so low in humans. Then we move into how diet and lifestyle affect nitric oxide levels, and of course, how to increase nitric oxide levels naturally. If you want to stack on nutraceuticals, he answers how much you should take, when to take it, and in what forms. And that’s just the surface of what we covered! Dr. Bryan shares about their fascinating research in long-haulers, prevention, clinical trials, post-surgery recovery, and upcoming pharmaceutical approvals. And stay to the end when we talk about skin repair and bringing on the youthful glow in a new cosmetic category they have brought to the market.

Berkeley Life is dedicated to supporting healthy nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide is a vital molecule made naturally in the body, responsible for vasodilation and circulation. As we age we produce less, resulting in diminished blood flow. Berkeley Life supplements provide a dietary nitrate that the body converts into nitric oxide. This helps to maintain healthy circulation, delivering nutrients where they need to go. Nitric oxide also has topical impacts. Berkeley Life's new topical nitric oxide serum combines vitamin C and nitrite to create nitric oxide gas directly on the skin delivering oxygen and nutrients.
