Mitochondrial Health Part 2: Why Antioxidants, Plant Diversity & Nitric Oxide Matter with Dr. Cyrus Khambatta | Ep.166
Episode 166
Tuesday, 7 April, 2026
What role do antioxidants, nitric oxide, and plant diversity play in optimizing your health? In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, guest host Kylie Buckner, RN, sits down with her husband, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, to continue their deep dive into mitochondrial health and plant-based nutrition. Together, they explore how antioxidant-rich foods, polyphenols, and nitrate-dense vegetables directly support energy production, cardiovascular health, and long-term wellness. As a plant-based family raising a daughter together—alongside two rescue cats from their time living in Costa Rica—Kylie and Cyrus bring both clinical expertise and real-life application to this conversation. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why fruit is not the enemy and how it supports metabolic health • The critical role of antioxidants and polyphenols in reducing oxidative stress • How eating a diverse range of plant foods strengthens cellular function • Why nitrate-rich vegetables (like spinach, beets, and celery) support nitric oxide production • How nitric oxide improves blood flow, exercise performance, and recovery • Simple ways to incorporate these foods into your daily routine 🔗 Links & Resources Cyrus Khambatta, PhD & Kylie Buckner, RN Website: https://www.evolution-health.co National Health Association https://www.healthscience.org
