Hypertension—commonly known as high blood pressure—is often referred to as the “silent killer” for good reason. It typically develops without noticeable symptoms but significantly raises your risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, vision loss, and cognitive decline. While conventional medicine often focuses on medications to bring numbers down, Functional Medicine asks why your blood pressure is elevated in the first place—and what we can do to correct it at its source.

In my practice, I work with clients to uncover the root causes behind high blood pressure and create an individualized plan that supports cardiovascular health from the inside out. Whether you're newly diagnosed or looking to reduce your reliance on medication, we create a plan that fits your biology, lifestyle, and goals.

How I Help Clients with Hypertension:

⦿ Advanced Functional Lab Testing

We go beyond basic blood pressure readings to evaluate the factors influencing your cardiovascular system, including:

• Inflammation and oxidative stress markers

• Blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity

• Kidney function and fluid balance

• Nutrient deficiencies (especially magnesium, potassium, and CoQ10)

• Hormonal imbalances and adrenal function

• Cardiovascular risk markers like homocysteine and lipoprotein(a)

⦿ Nervous System & Stress Response Support

Chronic stress is a major driver of hypertension. I use techniques such as:

• Breathwork and vagal toning

• BrainTap neurorelaxation therapy

• Sleep optimization strategies

• Adaptogenic support for adrenal balance

⦿ Therapeutic Nutrition for Vascular Health

Your food is medicine. We create a personalized nutrition plan that:

• Prioritizes whole foods rich in potassium, magnesium, fiber, and antioxidants

• Reduces inflammation and supports healthy endothelial function

• Stabilizes blood sugar and reduces insulin resistance

• Encourages healthy weight management if needed

⦿ Detox & Inflammation Reduction

Where appropriate, we incorporate supportive therapies like:

• Red light therapy to reduce inflammation

• Sauna sessions for detox and cardiovascular conditioning

• Gentle detox protocols to lower the body’s toxic burden

⦿ Collaboration & Integration

Hypertension is not just a number on a cuff—it’s your body communicating that something’s out of balance. At GainingHealth.net, I help you listen, respond, and restore. Through this personalized and root-cause approach, you can gain control of your blood pressure naturally and feel confident in your heart health journey.
