LAS VEGAS, Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --On Friday Dec. 13, 2019, Dr. Nathan S. Bryan is the first to speak about the correlation between low nitric oxide levels and mental illness at the 27th Annual World Congress. With over 3,000 of his peers, Dr. Bryan will take center stage, speaking about the history, effects, causes and findings on nitric oxide, especially as it relates to mental health and neurological conditions.

Dr. Bryan has spent the past 20 years researching nitric oxide. His many seminal discoveries in the field of nitric oxide has led to dozens of issued U.S. and International Patents. He has published hundreds of peer-reviewed studies on nitric oxide and is considered an international expert on nitric oxide biochemistry and physiology.

Over 44 million American adults have a mental health condition. Since the release of the first State of Mental Health in America report (2015), there has only been a slight decrease in the number of adults who have a mental health condition (from 18.19% to 18.07%).

It is becoming increasingly clear that most if not all diseases are characterized or associated with perturbations in nitric oxide production/signaling. Loss of nitric oxide production is associated and even causal for most if not all chronic human diseases, including neurological disease. Therefore, restoring nitric oxide production may be one of the single most important therapeutic strategies for any health care practitioner. Therapeutics or strategies designed to restore normal nitric oxide homeostasis will have broad application and utility in human health and profoundly affect the health of our aging population. However, finding product technology, either drug therapy or nutritional and supplementation, is confusing and often fraught with products that do not work. Health care practitioners can no longer ignore nitric oxide in their patients. Patients cannot and will not heal without first restoring the production of nitric oxide. Development of nitric oxide-based therapeutics is and will continue to be a major focus of biotech, pharmaceutical and nutritional companies. Education of the public and health care practitioners is essential since nitric oxide is absolutely necessary for patient health and for healing the human body.

"Every dysfunctional or diseased tissue or organ in every human disease has a common denominator and that commonality is loss of regulation of blood flow to that tissue or organ due to the loss of nitric oxide production. This includes diseases such as Alzheimer's, ADHD, depression, erectile dysfunction, diabetes, heart disease. If you cannot get oxygen and nutrients to individual cells, these cells cannot perform and as a consequence they fail. In order to rescue these cells and make individual organs work better, we must first focus on restoring the production of nitric oxide. Without this, every other therapy will eventually fail. This is the missing link in treatment of every major health problem worldwide," says Dr. Bryan.

The 27th Annual World Congress delivers world-class education focused on integrative health: through the most recently emerging clinical research, newly discovered therapies, and future scientific advances. Considered to be the largest event in Anti-Aging Medicine, each year's conference features a combination of unique programming, a diverse audience, and a collaborative learning environment. With an agenda specifically engineered to maximize clinical education and sessions, and an Exhibit Hall featuring hundreds of companies spotlighting the latest products, devices, and services in the field, the World Congress allows attendees to learn the newest, most innovative protocols & practicesall of which can immediately be integrated into patient care. The event attracts thousands of healthcare practitioners and professionals from across the globe to redefine mission and transform the field of modern medicine through top-tier education: with the ultimate goal of enhancing and enriching the entire landscape of health.

Question: You usually write about legal concerns, but I would like your opinion on a medical issue. I am getting older but still feel like I am in relatively good health. Every now and then when I see my doctor, I might ask about achy knees or tell him that I am more tired than usual. He usually responds by saying that it is to be expected as we age or, worse yet, he tries to give me a prescription! I know things are changing in the medical world and I wish my doctor would take a more proactive approach to keeping me healthy rather than writing me a prescription to treat aches or pain. Am I unrealistic to think that I can age better if I have access to the right medical advice?

Answer: As a senior advocate, I am open to addressing all types of senior concerns and healthy aging is at the top of my list of interests. Thank you for the question! You are right to be dissatisfied if your doctor responds that aches and fatigue should be expected as we age. There are literally daily advances being made in the anti-aging field and gaining access to the best and most researched wellness practices is essential for all of us if we want to stay healthy for as long as possible. I believe we can all agree that spending our last 10 or 20 years chronically ill before dying is an expensive nightmare we should all strive to avoid.

Over the past 25 years, leading scientists and clinicians have been researching and developing ways to personalize medicine based on a patients specific needs. Research shows the critical influence that diet, nutrition, lifestyle choices and environmental toxins have on the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimers and cancer. Anti-aging or functional medicine doctors recognize the importance of establishing a patient-empowered health care system centered on prevention, early intervention of disease and optimal wellness throughout life rather than focusing on post-diagnosis, pharmaceutical-based care later in life when chronic illnesses may have already gained a foothold.

The Institute of Functional Medicine is a global organization seeking to advance Functional Medicine by partnering with academic medical centers, hospitals, universities, technology companies and our everyday doctors. You can find a list of functional practitioners at their website: IMF.org. David Sinclair, Ph.D., a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, has been researching aging for more than 20 years and recently released a book, Lifespan: Why We Age and Why We Dont Have To. Sinclair proposes that aging is a disease and, as such, is treatable and preventable. Also, self-proclaimed biohacker, Dave Asprey, recently released Superhuman: The Bulletproof Plan to Age Backward and Maybe Even Live Forever. Aspreys book is an easier read on the topic of anti-aging but, both books pave the way toward a new way to view aging.

We are right to question our doctors advice if we feel it is not addressing the problem and only treating symptoms. Our health is our greatest asset just ask anyone who is no longer healthy! Keep researching, reading, learning and be open to the possibility that through exercise, correct nutrition and personalized medicine it may be possible to stay healthy much longer.

For the first time, we are starting to see research that targets aging as a health condition in and of itself. Finding ways to regulate those "longevity gene" pathways referenced by Lipman above (specifically the mTOR, AMPK, and sirtuins) is central to scientists' work in identifying lifestyle habits, nutritional compounds, and future drugs that could slow and even treat (yes, treat) aging.*

As Sinclair views it, aging is most definitely a disease, and the FDA classifying it as such will help the field move forward even faster, allowing for more research and development of drugs to target processes thatlead to age-related disease. "The definition of a disease is that over time you lose function, you become decrepit, disabled, and eventually, if it's a bad disease, you die from it," says Sinclair. "That sounds a lot like aging, right? If you go to the medical dictionary, the only difference between aging and a disease is that a disease affects less than half the populationand that 50% cutoff is completely arbitrary."

How likely is that to happen? In 2018, the World Health Organization classified aging as a disease and added it to the International Classifications of Diseases system. And right now, scientists at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine are examining the anti-aging effects of metformin in the Targeting Aging With Metformin (TAME) study. If researchers can show significant benefits of metformin in delaying problems such as cancer, dementia, stroke, and heart attacks, the FDA may consider classifying aging as a treatable condition.

But why study metformin? This widely prescribed diabetes drug, derived from compounds in the French lilac plant, has been noted for its benefits beyond diabetesand Sinclair predicts it will be the first drug prescribed specifically to treat aging. Turns out, "metformin had a protective effect against cancer, heart disease, and frailty in patients taking the drug for long-term diabetes treatment," says Sinclair. "Which sounds a lot like a molecule that can slow aging." Animal studies have also confirmed that metformin can improve life span, and, more importantly, health span in mice. And, in a first-of-its-kind study in humans published in September 2019, researchers were actually able to take 2.5 years off participants' biological clock using a combination of metformin, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and growth hormone.

Experts believe metformin may activate similar pathways as caloric restriction to stimulate autophagyor cellular cleaning. This cellular upkeep is believed to be a key factor in extending health span. "It's a relatively safe AMPK pathway activator, and that's thought to mimic the effects of fasting and exercising," says Sinclair, who takes metformin daily as part of his healthy aging regimen.
