We're programmed to want to take a pill to overcome everything. And that pill, nitric oxide, is very important, but it's not a silver bullet. It's not going to overcome all your bad habits. But what it is going to do, it's going to correct a lot of the things that your bad habits are leading to a deficiency of.
Kim.
Happily or unhappily mated. You know, one of my biggest challenges in life is maintaining balance, right? Because I've been so focused on you know, discovery and research and leaving a lasting legacy and making innovations and doing things in the scientific and medical community that many people said couldn't be done. And so my problem is there's always a deficiency.
You know, I've got young kids I spend a lot of time away from, And, you know, I'm happily mated, but there's deficiencies, right? Because, again, my challenge is always maintaining balance, work, home life, kind of maintaining, you know, my spiritual, my, you know, it's mental, it's physical, and it's spiritual health.
I'm trying to do better at that now, but you know, you can't, there's always sacrifice, right? And we just have to pick our sacrifices and, you know, so I've got to choose to do better.
Well, I mean, obviously I'm here to educate in formal nitric oxide. You know, this latest book, The Secret of Nitric Oxide, Bringing the Science to Life, really chronicles both my kind of journey through science and medicine as you revealed kind of my early years and kind of what motivated me to go in this space.
But I think more importantly, it tells the story of nitric oxide, what it is, what led to a Nobel Prize for its discovery, what you can do to prevent the loss of this molecule. So you can go to nathansbook.com or you can get it anywhere books are sold, Amazon, Barnes & Noble.
I've got a YouTube channel, Dr. Nathan S. Bryan Nitric Oxide, where we provide education, information, latest scientific information on nitric oxide. You can find me on social media, Instagram, Dr. Nathan S. Bryan. And then for those who want to follow our product journey and, you know, bringing forth safe and effective product technology, that's N101.com.
So it's the letter N, the number one, letter O, number one.com. But, you know, we make products that release nitric oxide.
Thank you so much. Pleasure being with you.
Well, I think it's, you know, it's certainly moderate alcohol consumption has some cytoprotective, cardioprotective properties. And so what happens is when you have moderate alcohol consumption, and we're talking maybe one or two drinks every couple of days, right? What that does is it's called alcohol or ethanol preconditioning. And this has been studied for 30 or 40 years.
And the observation was that people who drink moderate alcohol, if they have a heart attack, the heart is a little bit protected from injury from someone who hasn't consumed alcohol. It's ethanol preconditioning. So it's upregulating an enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase, which is an enzyme that's responsible for metabolizing and prolonging nitric oxide activity. So there's a clear connection.
However, the problem with overdoing alcohol consumption, you get portal hypertension, you get liver disease, and it destroys nitric oxide production, leads to inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune dysfunction. I think what we're finding is, and the other thing people ask me all the time too, what about drinking alcohol and affecting the oral microbiome? Because we know alcohol-based mouthwash
Kill it. But I tell people, at least when I drink a scotch, I'm not holding in my mouth for 30 or 60 seconds and swishing it around. So the alcohol in spirits in wine doesn't have a resident time long enough in the oral cavity to disrupt the microbiome.
You know, if we're talking about moderate consumption and not over consumption, again, and this is not my opinion, it's based on published science. But I think it's somewhere in the middle. It's probably a D. I'll give it a D. Can you give it a D?
It's not extremely beneficial. I mean, there are other ways that lead to cytoprotection, cardioprotection that are probably more health-promoting than alcohol consumption. But it's certainly not an F.
Well, we've known, we've learned over the past 40 years in this entire science of nitric oxide over 200,000 scientific papers published in the scientific and medical literature. So nitric oxide controls important things like blood pressure, sexual function, cognitive function. It controls inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune dysfunction, the hallmarks of chronic disease.
It's involved in insulin signaling and glucose uptake. So we know today that the functional loss of nitric oxide inside the human body is the earliest event in the onset progression of most, I think probably all, age-related chronic disease. So if you're doing things that are disrupting nitric oxide production, that sets the stage for rapid acceleration, onset and progression of chronic disease.
If we can maintain optimal nitric oxide production, both the basic science and the clinical science tells us that we can prevent or delay onset of age-related disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, vascular dementia, Alzheimer's. Everything we know about chronic disease revolves around poor blood flow, inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune dysfunction. And nitric oxide corrects all four.
You know, smoking with all the data, all the warning signs, even on the cigarette packages themselves, yet people still smoke. And I get it. It's an addiction. They know it's bad for them, but they get pleasure out of it. But smoking is absolute at the bottom. It's probably the worst thing you could do.
