Most Replayed Moment: Mouthwash REVERSES The Benefits Of Exercise! Dr Nathan Bryan

In this episode, the speakers delve into ways to enhance oral microbiome health by focusing on what should not be done. The conversation begins with a warning against fluoride, underscoring studies that suggest its neurotoxic effects, such as lowering IQ and impairing thyroid function. The host encourages listeners to switch to non-fluorinated toothpaste while highlighting the importance of tongue scraping, which has been shown to support a diverse oral microbiome and overall oral health.

Further, they discuss the relationship between nitric oxide and overall health, explaining that using mouthwash can negate the cardioprotective benefits of exercise by killing beneficial oral bacteria crucial for nitric oxide production. They note that maintaining optimal hormone levels, particularly testosterone and estrogen, also plays a role in the production of nitric oxide, which is vital for cardiovascular health.

Diet plays a significant role; the speakers suggest avoiding sugar and high-glycemic foods, as these can bind to enzymes necessary for nitric oxide production, leading to various health issues. They propose a balanced diet low in carbs, rich in high-quality fats, and good protein, emphasizing that rather than consuming large amounts of beets, which may not provide the desired benefit due to nutrient depletion, one should focus on proper dietary choices and practices. Overall, the episode combines insights on dental hygiene with broader themes of nutrition and cardiovascular health.
