What Causes High Blood Pressure And How To Fix It

This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Athletic Greens.
High blood pressure—medically known as hypertension—affects about
30 percent of adults. Left neglected, it can severely damage your
quality of life and set the stage for heart disease, kidney
complications, or a stroke. Conventional medicine typically treats
hypertension with medications that are generally effective in
reducing the risk of these complications. These medications
frequently come with unintended side effects, however. The good
news is the right foods and nutrients can dramatically lower blood
pressure without the high costs and side effects of
medications.  In today’s episode of my series I’m calling
Health Bites, I discuss the driving forces of hypertension and the
Functional Medicine approach to treating it. This episode is
