The Real Causes of High Blood Pressure (It’s Not Just Salt)EP 27

Описание: Most people are told that high blood pressure is caused by eating too much salt. But blood pressure is actually controlled by a complex interaction between hormones, minerals, the nervous system, and metabolic health.

In this episode of the Connected Health Podcast, we take a deeper look at the real causes of high blood pressure from a functional and holistic medicine perspective. You’ll learn how the body regulates blood pressure through the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), why minerals like potassium, sodium, and magnesium are essential for healthy blood pressure, and how chronic stress, inflammation, dehydration, and metabolic issues like insulin resistance can contribute to hypertension.

We also discuss low blood pressure, which can cause symptoms like dizziness, weakness, fatigue, and POTS-like symptoms, and why electrolyte balance and adrenal health play an important role.

Finally, we cover practical lifestyle strategies to support healthy blood pressure naturally through nutrition, mineral balance, nervous system regulation, and metabolic health.
