Could your daily habits be the hidden cause of memory loss? Many people believe cognitive decline is strictly genetic, yet emerging research suggests a different story. This episode explores how Nitric Oxide acts as a master signaling molecule for brain Health. First, we examine the vascular roots of dementia and why some researchers now call it Type 3 Diabetes. Because blood flow is essential, maintaining high levels of Nitric Oxide is critical for delivering oxygen to the brain.

Furthermore, we discuss how common products like antiseptic mouthwash and fluoride may actually inhibit your natural production. We also dive into the surprising link between chronic antacid use and a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Fortunately, simple Lifestyle changes can help restore these vital levels. For example, nasal breathing and specific dietary shifts can significantly boost your Nitric Oxide naturally. Although these ideas may challenge your current beliefs, being curious is the first step toward prevention. Join us as we investigate the root causes of chronic disease and the science of Longevity.

Our Guest: Dr. Nathan S. Bryan

Dr. Nathan S. Bryan is an international leader in molecular medicine and the “billion-dollar scientist” behind the nitric oxide revolution. With over 25 years in the field and 100+ peer-reviewed articles, he was recruited to the University of Texas by a Nobel Laureate to decode the biochemistry of human longevity.

As an entrepreneur and inventor with dozens of patents, Dr. Bryan has moved beyond the lab to build clinical-stage therapies for Heart Disease, Alzheimer’s, and chronic wounds. Today, he serves as the CEO of Bryan Therapeutics, where he continues to bridge the gap between complex biochemistry and life-changing consumer products.

Jennifer Fink Podcaster

After helping care for her grandmother who had vascular dementia, Jennifer realized her Mother was showing signs of early onset Alzheimer’s. After the death of her father in 2017 Jennifer went searching for answers to many of the common questions and Alzheimer’s caregiver faces. Being a busy entrepreneur Jennifer realized that a podcast would be the easiest way to learn more about caregiving while completing other tasks.

Sadly, in late 2017 she only found one and it didn’t quite address what she was looking for, so she did the next best thing, and started her own. The Fading Memories podcast is now in it’s fourth year and despite the death of her Mom in March 2020, Jennifer is still talking to caregivers and still learning how to be an excellent caregiver. On the podcast she discusses caregiving, brain health, self-care and how to age well.
