1155. Pulse Points: Understanding High Blood Pressure

Martin Clinic recently sent an important email to its customers about high blood pressure. Dr. Martin breaks down that email in today’s episode and gives a teaching on what causes high blood pressure. For most of us, we’ve been led to believe the common misconception that salt intake is the primary cause of high blood pressure. Dr. Martin says that’s false. Dehydration and a high-carb diet are more likely the main culprits. Join Dr. Martin as he explains why lowering your insulin levels is a much better approach to reducing high blood pressure than it is to take medication.
