In this monologue, the speaker explains how nitric oxide (NO) is a critical molecule for microcirculation, especially to the brain, and how optimal NO levels can address all three forms of dementia, support heart and immune function, and enhance sexual health. The nasal mucosa naturally produces NO, which helps filter, humidify, and pressurize the ~30 pounds of air we inhale daily, providing antibacterial protection and acting as an antidiuretic. The speaker cites expert Nathan Bryan to underscore the therapeutic potential of NO. They highlight that about half the population mouth‑breathes (66 % at night), and switching to nasal breathing can raise NO production and increase oxygenation by roughly 20 %. The talk connects breathing mode to oral microbiome health, blood pressure, cognition, healing, metabolism, and sexual function, urging listeners to adopt nasal breathing to preserve and boost NO levels.

Nitric oxide helps increase microcirculation. The hardest place to send blood flow is to the brain, especially the neocortex, cuz we're working against gravity. Nathan Bryan talks about this quite a bit, and one of the things that he says is basically all 3 forms of dementia can be addressed by establishing healthy nitric oxide levels. It's great for heart health, for brain health, but it's also very important for immune health because nitric oxide is anti-pathogenic and antibacterial. And that makes sense that our nasal Mucosa is lined with nitric oxide because it's interacting with the outside world. We breathe about 30 pounds of air every day. And so if we're consuming that much air on a daily basis, we wanna make sure it's filtering through and going through the right stages of filtration before it enters into the lungs. And of course, our mouth is the dirtiest part of our body. Our nose, it does the opposite. It cleanses and purifies the air before it goes into the lungs. And it pressurizes the air, temperature regulates the air, moisture regulates the air. Nasal breathing acts as an antidiuretic, so it prevents dehydration as well. And it helps us structure the air before it goes into the lungs, increasing oxygenation by 20%. So something as simple as switching from mouth breathing, which about 50% of the population does, 66% at night, to nasal breathing will increase nitric oxide levels. And the thing that gets most people's attention is nitric oxide is very important for sexual health. So the way we breathe and the state of our oral microbiome plays a huge role in our sexual health, our blood pressure, our cognitive health, healing, repair, regeneration, and metabolic function as well. So we want to make sure we're doing whatever we can to preserve nitric oxide levels and enhance them as best as we can.
