0:00.0	The worst thing we can do is inhibit stomach acid production, but yet everybody's on an
0:04.1	acid. There's over 200 million prescriptions written for antacids every year, and now you don't
0:08.1	even have to have a prescription. You can go to the Walgreens or corner drugstore and get
0:11.3	Pylosec-Previsid nexium. And these drugs are deadly. People who have been on what's called
0:16.9	proton pump inhibitors. It's a special class of in acids. People have been on this
0:20.8	for three to five years if you just look at outcomes. 40% higher incidence of heart attack, stroke,
0:25.6	and Alzheimer's. Well, because now we know mechanistically that when you do this, you completely
0:29.9	shut down nitric oxide production. You inhibit the enzyme in the lining of the blood vessels,
0:34.2	and you inhibit this production of nitric oxide we get from swallowing our saliva.
0:37.8	What if I was to tell you that there might be one molecule that is connected to all disease,
0:43.1	from cardiovascular disease to metabolic disease like diabetes, all the way to cognitive
0:47.9	diseases like dementia? What if it all has to do with low levels of nitric oxide? By the age of 40, 50% of your nitric oxide
0:56.6	has declined. And by 60, it's 85%. And here's a kicker. You can't just take any nitric oxide
1:02.0	supplement or eat foods that create nitric oxide in the body, like beets, for example. The truth is
1:08.0	there's two steps in the body that have to do with your mouth and your
1:11.8	stomach that actually matter. And Dr. Nathan Bryan comes on the show to talk about how important
1:18.5	nitric oxide is to our overall health. He has dedicated his career into understanding this one
1:24.2	molecule that if we're able to hone it in and elevate those levels in our body,
1:28.2	we might even just be living longer. Could it be that nitric oxide is the ultimate biohack? Dr. Brian
1:33.7	has led groundbreaking research and innovation in medical science behind nitric oxide. And this show is
1:39.8	going to blow your mind after you're going to want to find the fastest way to elevate nitric oxide
1:44.7	levels in your body.
