I've had stubborn high blood pressure for 30+ years, I'm 68, 6'1, 170lb. I was on Atenolol for 20+ years. I now play at lot of pickleball and found if I play like over 3hr my BP would drop to like 70/45 so my doc switched me to HCTZ which gave me headache and ringing ears. So I quit HCTZ, I'm now on Ashwagandha root powder (1/4 teaspoon) in 1/2 cup beet juice 2/day. My numbers seem to be holding steady at 135/80. I'm so excited that it's working.

Just like to add that your gut health is extremely important to your overall health. When your gut microbiome and gut health are in a dysbiotic state, you will not break down nutrition for metabolic health adequately. It's important that your gut and oral microbiome health is in a state of high digestibility. If you have hyper intestinal permeability your body will be in a chronic inflammatory state, and the energy to repair and heal will be less as your body will be constantly fighting mild to moderate infections either from biotoxins or environmental toxins. Also, your liver is highly nutrient-dependent and in order to create or break down metabolic molecules for repair and healing .. your liver will need specific nutrients. Health is many things.. all of what she says, but importantly understanding that the foods you choose to put in your body are directly correlated to gut microbiome and the future person you want to become. Health can be a choice for MOST of us. If you want to create Nitric Oxide nuture the cells in your body adequately. I am an RDH, Bs, Certified Functional Nutritional Medicine Practitioner, and BCTN.

Hey my lady, most doctors are in offices or sophisticated settings when doing these talks, I love where you are

I’m already doing most of these things and I can affirm that with each one of these things I’m feeling better at 55 than I did at 45. I’m adding the humming and pray it gets even better

[digitalnomadmarketing]

Good information, but I would just like to clarify for anyone looking for the humming note of 130 Hz. It is actually C3 (130.8 Hz). That is one octave below middle C (261.6 Hz). Middle C on the piano is named C4. "C1" as mentioned in the video is the lowest C note on the piano (32.7 Hz).

I love humming & believe it can heal.
Humming at different octaves vibrates different areas of the body.
Happy healing thyself!😊
Laughter, strong laughing oxygenated your body, how wonderful!
When I go to the city, people often comment on my smiling. Most people in cities don't smile much. It's important to smile & complement others. You just might make their day or save a life.😊

Beautiful, clear, steady presentation. Well done!

Excellent video - Thanks. The only item I would disagree with is Arginine supplementation. Dr Bryan explains that shortage of Arginine is not the problem, but the conversion of Arginine. In fact, over supplementation can be an issue (according to papers he discusses). Not sure where he stands on Citrulline supplementation. He recommends stopping, statins, Fluoride in toothpaste etc. stop mouth washes and avoid anti-acid products. All these inhibit the production of NO.

Thank you Dr. for essential info for free!! To extract that from most Dr's is near impossible!

[johnpaulsecond]

Cal Esselstyn (Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease) is big on Nitric Oxide and endothelial integrity via nutrition and backs up exactly what you are saying; it is refreshing to hear a physician such as yourself articulate the wholistic way to optimise NO; thank you so much

Great Presentation!

One way to boost NO production that is often overlooked is to eat 'purple foods' - foods that contain anthocyanins. I call them 'purple foods', but they can be purple, red, magenta, or even black. Examples are blueberries, beets, black rice and hibiscus tea. With beets you get both nitrates & anthocyanins. There's also a lot of oxalate in beets so I would avoid things like beet juice and freeze dried beet chips. I passed a kidney stone after eating a few packs of beet chips over the course of a couple of weeks.

Wow you didn't miss a beat! Not a single stutter or pause well done. All these years doctors have been telling me to avoid nitrates so I did and I developed afib Now I'm learning I actually need nitrates for vascular health. Thank you for this video.

[rezamirshafiei]

Thank you for your time to speak about NO.

[spocksdaughter]

Do not miss the stunning graphic rich ...transcript like visual images. Truely best for how I understand and learn!

[dwaynemcallister]

Thank you Dr. Van Dyken, I appreciate your work and that you care enough to share your knowledge for our benefit!

[Magickmoon]

Excellent news. I've had sinus conjestion constantly for decades along with 2 operations to remove polyps, then had a heart attack, I can now see the relationship between the two, thank you for the information.

[bencefarkas]

Wow, didn't expect that, that was a real comprehensive summary of No. I sure check out your other videos!
