• The Power of Nitric Oxide: A Deep Dive with Dr. Nathan Bryan

  In this enlightening episode, I’m joined by Dr. Nathan Bryan to discuss the multifaceted role of nitric oxide in human health. Dr. Bryan, a pioneering scientist in nitric oxide research, offers an in-depth exploration of its function as a crucial signalling molecule, its impact on cardiovascular health, and its potential therapeutic applications for various diseases. Through this conversation, the importance of dietary choices, the dangers of common health misconceptions, and the power of simple lifestyle changes come to light. What You'll Learn: Origins and Discovery: Learn about the groundbreaking discovery of nitric oxide as a signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system, a discovery that earned its pioneers a Nobel Prize. Physiological Roles: Understand how nitric oxide functions as a neurotransmitter and its significance in long-term memory and nerve communication. Connection to Diet: Discover the vital relationship between dietary nitrates, nitric oxide production, and the importance of a healthy microbiome. Impact of Lifestyle Choices: Explore how lifestyle choices, like diet and oral hygiene practices, can profoundly affect nitric oxide production and overall health. Current and Future Research: Gain insight into Dr. Bryan’s ongoing research into nitric oxide-based therapies for diseases like Alzheimer's and cardiovascular issues. Key Takeaways: Diet and Health: Consuming a diet rich in green leafy vegetables can optimise nitric oxide production, supporting cardiovascular and immune health. Oral Hygiene: Antiseptic mouthwashes and fluoride toothpaste can disrupt the oral microbiome, negatively impacting nitric oxide production and raising blood pressure. The Microbiome's Role: A diverse and healthy microbiome supports nitric oxide production, critical for numerous bodily functions. Therapeutic Potential: Nitric oxide has the potential to revolutionise treatments for diseases like heart disease and Alzheimer’s. Holistic Health Approaches: Combining dietary changes, careful oral care, and appropriate supplements with conventional medical treatments can significantly enhance health outcomes.

• Mojo Monday - Changing the Narrative Around Self Care With Carly Taylor

  We often think of self-care as something we do when we’re running on empty — a quick break, a bath, a quiet night in. But true self-care isn’t about temporary relief. It’s about consistent habits that keep our minds and bodies strong enough to face life as it comes. In this episode, Carly explores why self-care isn’t meant to be easy or glamorous — it’s a practice that takes work, awareness, and commitment. From movement and nutrition to connection and sleep, she reframes self-care as maintenance rather than indulgence, and as one of the most powerful tools for resilience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
