In today’s episode of Extend, we’re tackling a crucial health issue: high blood pressure. Often called the "silent killer," high blood pressure increases your risk for heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, and more. But what if you could prevent these risks before they escalate?
I’ll break down why measuring your blood pressure at home is far more effective than relying on a single doctor’s visit. You’ll also learn about the SPRINT trial and why keeping your blood pressure at 120/70 can significantly improve long-term health.
We’ll explore practical steps to manage high blood pressure, including improving your sleep, reducing stress, optimizing metabolic health, and incorporating strength training. Plus, I’ll discuss how new medications and emerging technologies like continuous blood pressure monitoring are transforming care.
This episode is all about prevention and early intervention—two key elements to living a longer, healthier life. If you’ve been ignoring your blood pressure, now’s the time to take control. Tune in!
I Also Discuss:
Understanding High Blood Pressure As A Silent Killer
The Importance Of At-home Blood Pressure Monitoring
How The Sprint Trial Revolutionized Blood Pressure Management
Effective Lifestyle Changes To Control High Blood Pressure
