   High Blood Pressure, Functionally Speaking

   Today we are talking about blood pressure! A condition that almost half of American adults have and about 46% of adults don’t even know they have it. And only 21% of Americans have it under control. Listen is as we discuss how a Functional Medicine provider will assess for the root cause of hypertension. Also, how do I monitor my blood pressure? How do I pick a monitor? How do I know if the cuff fits my arm? I provide some helpful advice on how to pick a monitor or what to do if I can't afford one. We also discuss some lifestyle modifications to help improve our blood pressure! Remember... Functional medicine (getting to the root cause) is a choice, YOUR choice. So listen in today and learn about the interconnectedness of Functional Medicine, and how to help providers use the root-cause approach to your chronic disease.

   The Interconnectedness of our Body Systems

   If the diet of fried chicken, fast food, and ice cream every night is your reason for your cholesterol medication, high blood pressure pill, your diabetes injection (that now helps you with your obesity), - why are we not changing the one thing that could make you better? Why are we throwing out the idea of a healthy diet because we think it tastes terrible? Why are we not giving it a try to see if we feel better? If we think better, if we are moving better? If our health numbers are moving in the right direction? Functional medicine (and lifestyle medicine) is a choice. So listen in today and learn about the interconnectedness of Functional Medicine, and how to help providers use the root-cause approach to your chronic disease.
