Nitric Oxide & Healthy Aging: Cathy Eason on the Aging Well Podcast

In a new episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Berkeley Life’s Chief Science Officer Cathy Eason joins Dr. Jeff Armstrong to discuss why Nitric Oxide may be the key to aging with energy, clarity, and vitality.

Cathy calls it the “vitality molecule” - because it’s not just about adding years to life, but adding life to your years.

Why It Matters

Starting around age 40, our ability to make Nitric Oxide naturally declines—sometimes by as much as 50%. That shift may show up in ways many people chalk up to “normal aging”:

• Afternoon fatigue or brain fog

• Rising blood pressure

• Cold hands and feet

• Low libido

• Slower recovery and wound healing

But as Cathy points out, common doesn’t mean normal.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

In this conversation, Cathy Easton and Dr. Jeff Armstrong:

• Why Nitric Oxide impacts blood flow, energy, and even mitochondrial health

• How diet, breathwork, and lifestyle choices help restore NO levels

• The surprising connection between Nitric Oxide, oral health, and menopause

• Why simple saliva test strips can reveal if your levels are low

This is just a glimpse of what Cathy covers. From the science to simple steps you can take, the full episode dives much deeper.
