The Blood Pressure Paradox: Why Lowering Your Numbers Could Be Dangerous
About this episode
In today's episode we're uncovering the "Blood Pressure Paradox" and why the modern medical push for ever-lower targets may actually be doing more harm than good.
We explore how shifting guidelines have turned nearly half of all American adults into "hypertensive" patients overnight, often based on variable or incorrect measurements.
You will learn why high blood pressure may actually be a vital compensatory response to maintain blood flow to the brain and kidneys rather than a primary disease.
We also dive into the hidden risks of over-medication, including increased mortality, falls, and kidney injury,.
