The Secret Power of Nitrates: Boost Endurance, Exercise Performance and Lower Blood Pressure | Cyrus Khabmatta

What if eating the right vegetables could make exercise feel easier while simultaneously lowering your blood pressure?

In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, host Chuck Carroll is joined by metabolic health expert Cyrus Khambatta of Evolution Health to break down the science behind nitrate-rich vegetables and how they dramatically improve blood flow, oxygen delivery, endurance, and recovery.

You'll learn how nitrates convert into nitric oxide, why foods like beets, arugula, spinach, and celery outperform supplements, and how simple dietary changes can enhance athletic performance — even if you're not an athlete.

We also clear up confusion about nitrates in processed meats, explain why mouthwash can block benefits, and reveal the ideal timing and amounts for maximum results.

In this episode, you'll discover:
• How nitrates lower blood pressure naturally
• Why nitric oxide improves endurance & oxygen efficiency
• The best nitrate-rich vegetables to eat daily
• How nitrates support mitochondria & cellular energy
• When and how much to eat for exercise performance
• Why nitrates from vegetables ≠ nitrates from deli meats
