Most people think low nitric oxide means “take more arginine” or “drink beet juice.”
But when you’re insulin resistant, the problem isn’t too little nitric oxide — it’s too much, at the wrong time.
In this short, you’ll see how a tiny pressure-sensitive gate on your red blood cells (Piezo1) gets stuck open when insulin stays high all day… and how that constant calcium leak drives nitric oxide from “vascular hero” to peroxynitrite-making troublemaker.
If your circulation feels off — cold hands, stiff vessels, high pressure, poor recovery — this is a missing piece almost nobody talks about.
