I found that Citruline was better than Arginine: with the A, I would get swimmy-headed if I over ingested it. With the Citrulline, I just pour it in my tea, and don't bother measuring.
Arginine should be taken off that, body produces enough and too much can harm the body in many ways!
@@GlueTubberMaybe so, but there's got to be a reason that Arginine was listed. 🤓
@@StringSurfer7listen to dr Bryan about the NO and arginine. He had a great explanation. Dont supplement with it. It can do more harm than good.
@@carolyn6001 Thanks.
...Another video free of any annoying, senselsess background music. CONGRATULATIONS!...
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
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 once took Citrulline (1200mg twice a day), but my Urea blood level went through the roof. So you might wanna check that before supplementing it long term. Since then, I converted back to supplementing Arginine only (1500mg per day) - Urea level is back to normal.
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.😊
Love this! ✨
❤every time I start humming , I start giggling and end up laughing. Childhood memories I guess. Good stuff
i think it also stimulates the vegas nerve
@@jackyleblanc6460vagus
My college roommate scolded me for smiling on the NY subway. 🤦♀️😁😆🤷♀️
I told a coworker about the Nasal Humming. He reacted like I was nuts. Some people just don't get it. 😂 Loved your tutorial. Please give us more. 🥁
They're narrow minded and ignorant
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.
I do the same things as you, except that I ride my bicycle up on the Mt. Tam instead of playing pickleball. I have read one of the most important things is to not use any fluoridated toothpaste, and never use mouthwash. Unfortunately around here the MMWD adds fluoride to our water, so I don't drink tap water here-haven't for the last 40 years or more. I don't even use fluoridated water to brush my teeth. I read that fluoride kills the bacteria in the mouth that goes down to the stomach to create nitric oxide, and that using fluoride is the very worst thing that anyone can do to their body. Worse than smoking or living in the city by far.

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.
She explains that Arginine supplementation is not effective because it gets metabolized in the liver.
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
Yes, however I do not remember Esselstyn talking about taking supplements of L-Arginine and L-Citrulline for the downstream effect to increase NO in the blood. And Esselstyn is even more strict with avoiding flouride, to use a water filter that removes even the low level flouride in water from the faucet.
Humming is explained in detail in yoga sutras and that too thousands of years back. It's called Brahmari pranayam.
amazing how humans stumble across healing techniques and just notice that they feel better without knowing the science. so cool
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.
I read similar articles concerning beets and oxalates. One way to counter it is by taking vitamin C with your nitrate foods. I use a lemon in my beet, Arugula, spinach, radish smoothie. I’ve done this for ten years with no problems. Some of us are more sensitive to oxalates than others.
I don't understand how that would work since vitamin C also increases blood oxalate levels. Citrate from lemon could mitigate effects of oxalates, though. Lemon or no, I would not drink smoothies made out of beets, spinach or chard. Arugula is relatively low in soluble oxalates. Stones are no fun and can wreck kidney function over time. @@captainadams7569
A urologist said to eat something with calcium with the oxylate. That way the oxylate bonds with the calcium in you gut and never enters your bloodstream. Putting cheese on your spinach salad will do it.
Drink lemon water to counter oxalate s...beets are rich in NITRATES...your bacteria converts that into nitrates and NO
Then it's best to stay away from them and do as the video sùggested
Doc. Enjoyed the video. The easiest way to boost NO is to tape your mouth closed when sleeping. 8 hours of NO production. And tons of other benefits. Do a video on that. Tom Buividas DPM.
According to all of that, I'm a Nitric Oxide factory. Might help explain why I have the cardio of someone in their 30s when I'm 63. Good breathing techniques are something everyone should learn.
The content and articulation in your videos is unparalleled ! Thank you so much ! 🙏
Glad you think so, thank you!
Whole heartedly agree, 💯% .... I came here to say the exact same thing. And thanks, of course. 😀 Definitely got my subscription.
Yes, excellent presentation. A well organized, info-packed 12-minute video.
@@outofthedoldrumsnice backyard!
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.
You mean, she didn’t miss a beet!
Also please take magnesium glyxinate and potassium chloride then stop drinking RO WATER ❤❤❤
Very Informative! THANK YOU!
Excellent video! Very informative. Thank you!
wonderful program with good information

Thanks Doc - you strike a perfect balance between overview and deep dive.
Wonderful useful information! Thank you so much!
Very good video & teaching. Thank you !!
So cool! Thank you!
This is a superb presentation! Also some informative comments from your viewers!
Thank you for sharing you knowledge with us 🙏
Thank you Dr. for essential info for free!! To extract that from most Dr's is near impossible!
She is EPIC!!!!!!!! her research is impeccable
Dr Nathan Bryan, considered the foremost authority on Nitric Oxide, says that not only are cured meats not harmful but they are actually "curative." He discusses this nitrate/nitrite chemistry in his interview with Max Lugavere: "Nitric Oxide the Holy Grail of inflammation and Disease."
Very good explanation
Excellent video.
Thanks a bunch Doc for this video. It was truly enlightening. I’ll get down to doing at least half of these ASAP
Excellent presentation ❤❤❤
A first-class presentation!
Fantastic information
Taking magnesium will help with kidney stones my dad died when he stopped taking his magnesium supplements. He had to get a kidney stone removed and then was septic afterwards.He was 88 so he was vulnerable. I was after him for monthes to get back on his magnesium but he would not listen. His doctor prescribed it to him for kidney stones. You can get it at any health food store.l also wanted to let people know that swishing your beet juice around in your mouth for 30 seconds will produce enough bacteria to convert it to NO in your body.
Thank you for this content.
Aloha. Thank you for the succinct and proactive advice regarding nitric oxide and vascular health. This is direct and refreshing.
So young and so turned on to health god bless you 🙏
Do not miss the stunning graphic rich ...transcript like visual images. Truely best for how I understand and learn!
You provided an amazing discussion. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Aloha. Thank you for helping people. 🙏🏻
Excellent insight into conversion of Citrilline and it bypassing!
It's Citrulline she recommended not Citrilline.
You are truly amazing. Thanks for making us healthier. Be well.
Thank you Dr for very good information.
Thanks for the info
It's very valuable information.

Pure gold 🙏
You're very good. Thank you.
Great lecture❤
I appreciated this information packed video! Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your excellent work in this & other aspects of maintaining good health naturally. I also appreciate the wonderful explanatory simulations that drive the message home. I have been teaching humming breath regularly to my patients for several years & they swear by its marvelous effects on improving their sleep; never knew about the NO connection!
Great presentation! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. Your video will change my health routine and activities forever. Extremly helpful info on things we have been neglecting or not aware of. A required viewing for all health-conscious people. These techniques or habits involve the nose and parts of the body for proper breathing and movement.
This is fabulous
Thankyou so very much! God Bless you!
Your video so easy to understand
You give great explanation and animation to support your video. Thank you!
So nice of you, thank you!
Good informations ,Thank you.
NO is so important! Thanks so much!
You bet!
Absolutely Excellent information Thanks Regards passing Through U.
Well presented...!
Thank you 🙂
Too good Thankyou
Scientific and rational analysis covering various aspects of nitric oxide and it's positive impact on human beings.❤🎉
The effects of infrared light is intriguing in its relationship with NO. What effect does an infrared sauna have in generating NO?
Great video
Yay! You're back! Your mention of L-Citrulline lead me down quite a fascinating rabbit hole about Dr. Ignarro's discovery that lead to a Nobel Prize. Amazing! Your videos are ultimately valuable, and so well made! Thank you!
Thanks for sending me down this rabbit hole in advance! lol
How about just take nitric oxide?
@@danpan001doesn’t work that way
@@danpan001 Nitric Oxide apparently has a very short half-life of just a few seconds. L-Argenine apparently gets converted to nitric oxide and has a longer half-life but still short in comparison to L-Citrulline, which, when used with a strong antioxidant, apparently gets convertrd to L-Arginine, in the body, and has an hours long half-life. So, after going down that research rabbit hole, I've chosen a combination of a couple grams L-Arginine, a couple grams L-Citrulline, and Amalaki (Indian Gooseberry) for my antioxidant. It seems to have an observable positive affect.
You are the greatest.
Thank you!
Very good information & advice..My walking is limited.. On Beta blockers, & warfarin due to past Dvt.. Have bradycardia. These ideas will hopefully help improve my circulation. Thankyou sweetie. 🙂
Appericate this delivery of helpful information. Thank you for NO music. 😊
Was that a pun? NO - Nitric Oxide,
@@TheHaratashi In my opinion, that’s why people shouldn’t use initials. They can mean different things.
Love your video..trait to the point is the way go
