   Vitalism, Labs and the Art of Listening: A Deepo Dive with Dr. Brad Rachman (Part 1)

   In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Brad Rachman to explore his remarkable journey from a personal autoimmune crisis to decades of work in functional medicine and laboratory medicine, including his time with Genova Diagnostics. We talk about the early days of functional medicine, how the field has evolved, and how clinicians can choose tests that actually matter instead of drowning in data. Brad shares his origin story with ankylosing spondylitis and how it shaped his entire clinical philosophy. We get into high‑value markers like complement C3/C4, MMP‑9, TGF‑β1, GGT, oxidized LDL, and CD4/CD8 ratios, as well as the role of stealth pathogens such as EBV, Coxsackie, and Chlamydia pneumoniae. We also break down practical approaches to assessing dysglycemia using tools like HOMA and C‑peptide, and how to build a testing strategy that gives clarity instead of overwhelm. We also dive into clinical models and practice design—everything from volume‑based care versus engagement‑based care, to creating a patient roadmap, to using AI for long‑term 10‑year risk analysis. Brad shares his therapeutic priorities around diet, lifestyle, and pro‑resolving mediators, and we spend time on the philosophy of vitalism: trusting and stewarding the body’s innate ability to self‑regulate. If you’re a clinician, you’ll walk away with practical insights on which tests are truly actionable, how to communicate with patients during symptom flares, when to prioritize lifestyle over supplements, and how to design care that restores long‑term vitality and resilience.

   Optimizing Nitric Oxide Production: Clinical Insights from Dr. Nathan Bryan (Part 2)

   In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Bryan, one of the world’s leading researchers in nitric oxide physiology and a pioneer who has reshaped how clinicians think about vascular health, metabolism, and the oral microbiome. Dr. Bryan began his career as a drug discovery chemist, but his work quickly revealed a deeper truth: our ability to generate nitric oxide depends heavily on dietary inputs, oral bacteria, and lifestyle patterns—not just pharmaceuticals. His research uncovered the essential role of the oral microbiome in converting dietary nitrates and nitrites into bioactive nitric oxide, influencing everything from blood pressure to mitochondrial efficiency to immune resilience. We dig into his groundbreaking contributions, including his founding of Neogenis and the development of the original Neo40 lozenges and nitric oxide indicator test strips, which helped bring NO science into everyday clinical practice. Dr. Bryan also shares how his research has evolved, what most clinicians still misunderstand about nitric oxide biology, and how he’s now advancing the field through his new company, n1o1.com (http://n1o1.com), where he’s translating cutting‑edge nitric oxide science into next‑generation clinical and consumer solutions designed to restore NO production more effectively than ever. If you’re interested in cardiovascular health, performance, metabolism, or the intersection of the oral microbiome and systemic physiology, this conversation will change the way you think about nitric oxide.

   038r | Guest Series: Vitalism, Labs, and the Art of Listening: A Deep Dive with Dr. Brad Rachman

   Host Dr. Steve Nosworthy interviews Dr. Brad Rachman about his journey from a personal autoimmune crisis to decades in functional medicine and laboratory medicine, including his work with Genova Diagnostics. They discuss the history and evolution of functional medicine, how to choose meaningful tests, and how labs can both help and overwhelm clinicians. Topics include Dr. Rockman’s origin story with ankylosing spondylitis, high-value lab markers (complement C3/C4, MMP‑9, TGF‑β1, GGT, oxidized LDL, CD4/CD8), stealth pathogens (EBV, Coxsackie, Chlamydia pneumoniae), dysglycemia assessment (HOMA, C‑peptide), and practical testing strategy versus data overload. The conversation also covers clinical models and practice design (volume vs engagement), creating a patient roadmap and 10‑year risk analysis using AI, therapeutic priorities (diet, lifestyle, pro‑resolving mediators), and the philosophy of vitalism — trusting and stewarding the body’s innate ability to self‑regulate. Listeners can expect practical takeaways on which tests are most actionable, how to communicate with patients about symptom flares, when to prioritize lifestyle over supplements, and how to design care that restores long‑term vitality and resilience.
