Podcast Episode Sixty-One: Managing High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is most commonly managed by medicine, and while medicine can be helpful, it’s most important to get to the root of why your blood pressure is high.

In today’s episode, we’re chatting about how doctors often prescribe medicine for high blood pressure without getting to the root of the problem, as well as common reasons you may have it, and ways to help regulate it.

Paying attention to your nutrition and getting regular exercise is the key. Acupuncture can also be a huge help in not only lowering blood pressure, but addressing the adjacent problems that are causing it in the first place.

What’s in this episode:

  • Why it can be difficult to get to the cause of high blood pressure
  • Common reasons for high blood pressure
  • Ways to help bring your blood pressure down
  • The benefits of acupuncture for blood pressure levels
