High Blood Pressure is a life-threatening condition that must be managed but it doesn't mean your life is over. Once your doctor says you have this incurable chronic disease that is silently attacking the organs of your body, and after dealing with your fears, I want you to ask questions.  Like, can it be cured?  How will it affect my life?  Do I now have to eat tasteless foods?  Do I have to take medications for the rest of my life?

Then your doctor will prescribe a medication that will be appropriate for your body type, more than likely your doctor will tell you to monitor your blood pressure, probably daily to start. 

But I also want you to be awa

Hello, you’re listening to High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle Podcast with Donna Williams.  Microbiome is not a word I was familiar with or even knew, but if you have not been diagnosed with any health issues or you’re not experiencing any illness you might not be aware of these organisms that is critical in fighting off diseases.  You should also know that within the gut microbiome there are both helpful and potentially harmful microbiota that coexist peacefully in a healthy person. 

Certain diets, or the use of antibiotics or other bacteria destroying medications, can upset the balance, which can impair the microbiome’s functions, opening up the body to disease.

And most importantly I understand the connection between the mind, body, gut, and soul, that’s why we include and recommend natural supplements, embrace integrative holistic practices to help individuals heal from their chronic conditions.

So today we are going to talk about the trillions of microorganisms living in your gut; and hopefully give you a better perspective, on the number of cells that makes up the body itself.

Today’s podcast topic is on Human Being Microbiome And Gut Health Connection!

• Gut Microbiome:   If your gut is burdened with unhealthy foods and digestion is impacted, then illness may arise.
• Gut Health, Human BodyMicrobiome And The Control Of Your Health
• Some Colorful Foods That Build And Heal: Health promoting colorful foods come in rich colors of blue, green, purple, red, yellow, orange and even white and brown.
• Probiotic and Prebiotic Foods for a Healthy Gut.
• Good Mood Foods

Hello, you’re listening to High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle Podcast with Donna Williams.  In today's fast-paced world, many people find it difficult to set aside time for themselves. With never-ending to-do lists, work deadlines, and family responsibilities, it's no wonder that self-care often takes a back seat. However, neglecting to prioritize your health and well-being can lead to burnout, stress, and even physical health problems. 

How about deciding today to choose a specific day to start or prioritize your self-care and make note of how it is contributing to your overall health.

I’m Donna Williams, Certified Holistic Health Coach, owner and creator of info-on-high-blood-pressure.com a website that’s all about the healing of high blood pressure using therapeutic natural treatments to achieve your unique body’s ideal blood pressure numbers.

Within my women of color and diagnosed HBP community we achieve wellness through my alternative restorative therapeutic programs that will help you in taking mini steps that encourages and reinforce healthy living, awakens you to the powerful and natural healings within your body, and how we can bring it to life in all areas of your life.

Let’s gets started on today’s episode. Today’s episode is on Why Prioritizing Self-Care is Non-Negotiable And How It Contributes To Your Overall Health!

We are constantly bombarded by what’s expected of us, how we should look, the things to say, what we’re wearing and so much more. Solitude can be your freedom to seek and get to know what you believe and know to be your truth. Help you to become a better partner, friend, daughter, son, father and mother. 

When you’re alone you get a break from the concept of yourself that people have placed upon you. You get the chance to go over your own thoughts and feelings.

It is the start of your awareness that leads to the need for your own self-care.

Sundays are the eve of a blank canvas -- a brand new week -- and paying extra attention to your well-being, so you walk into a new week well is a great practice to adopt. So, how can you fit some self-care into your Sundays?

This can fluctuate week by week, but the ultimate purpose is to feel rejuvenated --

Hello, you’re listening to High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle Podcast with Donna Williams.  Being busy and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can take time and effort. It's easy to get overwhelmed by all the tasks we have to handle each day, leaving little time for ourselves. But it is possible to stay on track even during busy weeks if you have a plan in place. Let's look at some tips and tricks to help you stay healthy while keeping up with your hectic schedule. 

I’m Donna Williams, Certified Holistic Health Coach, owner and creator of info-on-high-blood-pressure.com a website that’s all about the healing of high blood pressure using therapeutic natural treatments to achieve your unique body’s ideal blood pressure numbers.

Within my community I help individuals find their alternative restorative therapeutic programs that helps them take mini steps that encourages and reinforce healthy living, awakens them to the powerful and natural healings within their bodies, how we can bring it to life and make the mind set become a habit with benefits.

Today’s Topic Is on How to Prioritize Wellness with a Busy Schedule!

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to take a break? 

A break can look like many things, but in this scenario, I'm thinking about something you can engage in and be present in the moment. Often, we turn on Netflix and say we are taking a break -- but this really does us no favors in terms of stress management. So if you can't remember the last time you made time to be present and engage in something you enjoy that has absolutely no way to be productive, take this as encouragement. 

Just starting this simple way to me is a great start on how you can prioritize wellness with a busy schedule!

What gets your creative juices flowing or helps you to unwind? This may look like reading, writing, or painting. Or maybe you've always wanted to try tennis, frisbee golf, climbing or music. These things can have many benefits to our nervous system and health, often acting as a reset. 

Sprinkling in these breaks into our busy schedules can help with stress management and overall happiness levels. What are you excited about trying next?

How about a braindump! I

To not get sucked into whatever newest meal plan is trending. I want you to know it is essential to put more emphasis on some simple rules to live by. Following a framework for wellness allows us to feel secure in our choices and know that we are standing on a firm foundation that won't be shaken when the next trendy diet comes along.

Today’s Topic Is on How to Ditch the Diet And Find True Wellness!

But before we can get started on dealing with the wellness we truly crave; we have to deal with our Fear and Ego. They have a strong hold on our mind whether we want to acknowledge them or not.

It is said fear and ego are man’s greatest enemy.  Fear is behind sickness, poor relationships, and failures.  If you are experiencing fear, understand this, you get rid of it by facing it. Face the thing you fear, and fear will leave you. Make up your mind right now that you are absolutely going to eliminate fear from your life. 

Now, that doesn’t mean it is not going to come into your mind. It will but when it does, kick it right out. 

Fear is a thought in your mind that you are afraid of.  Imagine that for a moment…. at times we fear our very own thought.

Most fears have no reality and at times our ego has a hand in it.  No

Hi there and welcome, you’re listening to High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle Podcast with Donna Williams. Is your current routine for starting your day serving you well? As we awake in the mornings our minds start going over the day’s schedule, and what we have to do so that we can excel in our careers. So, it is inevitable that we get caught up in the day-to-day aspects of life and so we jam-pack our schedule full of things to do. And what even happens within our mind is that we may even be worried that we'll fall behind if we take a break, causing us to work even harder.

Hey there, you’re listening to High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle Podcast with Donna Williams.  Do you know happiness is a state of mind? 

You have this power to create that state of mind today. Our true self comes from being totally involved in doing what we absolutely love.  And when we combine it with recognizing your magnificence and that you are truly unique in every way.

Let us discover today or let us start the journey on using the power we have within us to create that state of mind.

 Hi again, I’m Donna Williams, owner and creator of info-on-high-blood-pressure.com, am a certified holistic health coach who uses a holistic and an integrative approach to both diet and lifestyle changes to improve your health.  I work with individuals that are seriously investing in themselves with the goals that reaches into each area of their lives with specific doable steps in achieving quality healthy lifestyle as they age graciously. 

I firmly believe changes don't typically stick because we try to do too much at once and without a detailed plan of action. 

Are you ready for this? Are you ready to wholeheartedly do this journey of creating your happiness and recognizing your magnificence? 

Today’s episode is Creating Your Happiness and Recognizing Your Magnificence.

Your happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have. It depends solely upon what or how you think. Lots of individuals look for it as something outside of themselves. Its not there and will never be there. For the most part, I am sure you understand that.

Most of us have lots of foolish ideas about who we are and many rigid rules about how life ought to be lived.  If you have lived with people who were very unhappy, or angry all the time, then you have learned a lot of negative things.

Beliefs like this create a frustrating life. I also know that you are doing the very best at this present moment.

The fact that you started this journey of creating a whole new way of living means that you are ready to make a new positive change in your life.

But lets learn more about what happiness truly is?
