Welcome to Uncovering the Hidden Causes of High Blood Pressure: Beyond the Basics, where we dive deep into the intricate and often overlooked contributors to hypertension. While traditional discussions often focus on diet and stress, our podcast explores the lesser-known factors that can significantly impact blood pressure levels. Join us as we investigate intriguing topics such as the calcium shell effect, where calcium builds up in arteries affecting elasticity, and how nutrient deficiencies can hinder bodily functions. 

We'll also discuss the influence of toxic metals, the impact of liver and kidney congestion, and the roles thyroid dysregulation and hormonal imbalances play in this condition. Whether you’re personally affected by hypertension or eager to learn more, prepare to uncover these hidden causes and gain insights to better manage your health.
