In this solo episode of The Natural Heart Doctor Show, I take on one of the most common questions I hear: what do you actually do about high blood pressure? My answer starts by reframing the reading itself. A high number is a sign that something deeper is going on, and one factor that too often gets missed is nitric oxide, a gas your body makes that signals the muscle in your artery walls to relax. When those vessels open, blood moves more easily and pressure eases. Nitric oxide also works as a natural anticoagulant, which is part of why it matters so much for circulation. Then I walk through where nitric oxide actually comes from. Food nitrates in beets, arugula, and leafy greens meet the bacteria in a healthy mouth, turn into nitrite, and convert into nitric oxide with the help of stomach acid. That pathway explains two things people rarely connect: antiseptic mouthwash and acid-blocking drugs can quietly work against you. I also cover the amino-acid route, with L-arginine, L-citrulline, and L-taurine feeding nitric oxide synthase, the role of UVA sunlight on your skin, and why I always come back to the same rule: test, don't guess. - - - - - Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC Websites: https://drjackwolfson.com/; https://naturalheartdoctor.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjackwolfson Ready to move past the confusion and fear of typical heart health approaches?

In this conversation with Patti Wartella-Simab on Coffee with Patti, I share how I went from mainstream cardiologist to the Natural Heart Doctor. I talk about my father's illness, the moment a young chiropractor helped me see health differently, and why I have come to believe the body is built to be well when we take away what harms it and add back what it needs. I keep returning to one simple idea: too much bad stuff, not enough good stuff. From there we get into the everyday basics I care about most: spending real time outside, morning and daytime light, better sleep, more seafood and whole foods, and lowering the chronic stress that quietly wears on the heart. I also explain why I put "Think Well" alongside "Eat Well" and "Live Well," and why, for me, finding your happy is part of healing. None of this is medical advice, and it is not about stopping anything on your own. It is an invitation to ask better questions about the root cause and to work with someone who will teach, not just prescribe. - - - - - About the Guest: Patti Wartella-Simab is the host of Coffee with Patti, a conversational interview podcast built around honest, personal stories told over a cup of coffee.

Find OptoPressure, the supplement combination Dr. Wolfson mentions, at: https://shop.naturalheartdoctor.com/p...There is no single blood pressure number that is right for every older adult, and chasing 120 over 80 no matter what can do more harm than good.

Your LDL can drop dramatically on a statin, and that impressive-looking number still will not tell you whether it actually lowered your chance of a heart attack or fixed what is damaging your arteries. This video shares his SAFE statin audit, a four-step framework for evaluating a statin prescription before you commit to it for life. He explains why absolute risk reduction matters far more than the relative risk numbers most patients are shown, and walks through a real patient case where statin-related brain fog resolved after the medication was paused. - - - - - 🔍 In this video, you will learn: ✅ Why a dramatic LDL drop does not guarantee your heart attack risk actually fell ✅ The four step SAFE statin audit you can use before agreeing to a prescription ✅ Why absolute risk reduction matters more than the relative risk numbers doctors quote ✅ What the Cholesterol Treatment Trialists data really shows about statin benefit ✅ Why muscle pain, brain fog, or blood sugar changes deserve investigation, not dismissal ✅ The four questions to bring to your next doctor's appointment ✅ Why lowering LDL is not the same as treating the root cause of heart disease - - - - - If you have ever been told your LDL looks great, but you still do not feel like yourself, or you are wondering what your doctor isn't showing you about your statin, this is a must-watch video. - - - - - 💡: https://shop.naturalheartdoctor.com/p...
