On episode 707 of the 40+ Fitness podcast, we're diving into the fascinating world of nitric oxide—one of the most important, yet often overlooked, molecules for human health. Host Coach Allan sits down with Dr. Nathan Bryan, a renowned biomedical scientist and author of The Secret of Nitric Oxide: Bringing the Science to Life, to uncover what nitric oxide is, why it's vital for cardiovascular health, energy, blood pressure regulation, and even sexual wellness, especially as we age.
Dr. Bryan shares groundbreaking insights from his decades of research, revealing how our bodies naturally produce nitric oxide, why production can decline after 40, and the real reasons why common supplements and leafy greens might not be giving you the boost you need. Plus, he breaks down the critical role of diet, oral health, and lifestyle habits in optimizing your body’s nitric oxide production.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
