| 0:00.0 | Today on the root cause medicine podcast. |
| 0:02.7 | Our brain and our body need us to have optimized blood flow as we age. |
| 0:07.6 | And nitric oxide is the key to doing that. |
| 0:10.9 | If we're not paying attention to those nitric oxide levels, especially as we get past 40, |
| 0:16.3 | we're inviting a lot of problems. |
| 0:18.4 | And I see a lot of people trying to do a lot of really valuable, |
| 0:24.0 | important things for their health as they age. But if we're not thinking about and including |
| 0:29.4 | this piece of things, we're going to have limitations on how much benefit those other |
| 0:34.8 | interventions are going to have. Hello, hello. My name is Dr. Carrie Jones, |
| 0:39.4 | and today I am so excited to bring to you my good friend, Dr. Nicole Burkins. She is a clinical |
| 0:45.7 | psychologist and board certified clinical nutritionist who's going to talk to us all about nitric |
| 0:51.3 | oxide, which you may think is kind of a boring topic. And it gets a lot of research |
| 0:55.2 | when it comes to cardiovascular disease, your blood vessels, arteries, heart disease. But what got |
| 1:00.6 | my interest was that she told me that they were working on a pilot study where they took |
| 1:06.1 | nitric oxide products that come from food and found that it was greatly improving sexual response and sexual health. |
| 1:13.6 | If you think about it, when it comes to blood flow to certain areas, it has to be healthy. |
| 1:19.6 | Otherwise, those certain areas aren't going to get the blood flow that they need. |
| 1:23.6 | Now, we seem to know this pretty well in men and when it comes to their sexual |
| 1:28.3 | health, but we hadn't evaluated this very much when we looked at women. And so when I talked to |
| 1:33.7 | Nicole, I thought you have to come on the podcast. Not only do we have to discuss the importance |
| 1:37.9 | of nitric oxide through our whole cardiovascular system, considering heart disease is the number one |
| 1:43.3 | killer of humans, but I also want to come on and talk about sexual health and how improving our arterial system, our cardiovascular system, gives us a big benefit in those areas. |
