About this listen

Are you tired of living with high blood pressure and feeling like it has taken over your life? It's time to take control, and fix the problem, once and for all.

Living with high blood pressure is a daunting task. It feels like you're always walking a tightrope, constantly worrying about the risks of complications and struggling to find the right medications and lifestyle changes that work for you.

If you feel like your condition is limiting your ability to enjoy the things you love—leaving you feeling frustrated, trapped, and uncertain about the future—you are not alone.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of adults in the United States, or 116 million, have hypertension. Of that figure, only about one in four adults have their condition under control.

Why is this alarming? Because in addition to being known as a silent killer, hypertension is also a silent thief that steals away your peace of mind, leaving you wondering if you will still be able to live a “normal life.”

But there is hope.

With the right tools, knowledge, and support, you can take control of your blood pressure and live the life you deserve.

That's where this book comes in.

Written by a trusted pharmacist, this book offers a unique perspective on hypertension management. You can trust that the information provided is reliable and evidence-based, yet it is presented in a way that is accessible and easy to understand.

Here’s a fraction of what you’ll discover:

  • The different types of medications that can manage your hypertension…and how they might interact with foods, supplements, or other drugs you're taking
  • The heart of the matter when it comes to the causes of hypertension—find out what specific factors might be putting you at risk so you can avoid them
  • Why it's important for pregnant women or women in their 40s to be on alert for high blood pressure (plus tips to stay healthy)
  • The underlying medical conditions that can cause your blood pressure to spike…so you can find the right approach to manage your health better
  • Easy-to-apply diet modifications and additions—eat healthy for a happy heart
  • 10 questions you need to ask your healthcare provider (when it comes to blood pressure medications, it’s really better to be safe than sorry)
  • How to conquer your fitness fears—feel confident as you move toward a healthier heart and a happier you!
  • How to effectively monitor your blood pressure at home…so you can keep track of your progress and create a personalized treatment plan with your healthcare provider
  • 15 tips to improve your sleep… plus proven strategies to literally reduce pressure
  • What you need to do before going all out dietary supplements—and the vitamin you should avoid at all costs if you're taking blood thinners
  • And much more.

Hypertension is sneaky…it creeps up on millions of people worldwide, with many being unaware of its presence until it's too late. Its effects can be devastating, leading to a domino effect of health complications.

Say goodbye to the fear of complications, the frustration of finding the right medications, and the uncertainty of not knowing where to turn for help.

Living with high blood pressure can be overwhelming which then also causes your blood pressure to increase so it's a vicious cycle. I was quite surprised at how much this author truly understood about the constant worrying I was having and the stress that comes with high blood pressure. Millions of people live with high blood pressure but it's a small percentage that are actually able to get it under control. I've been living with hypertension for a few years now and I have tried a few changes here and there but would get frustrated when I didn't see immediate changes and gave up. So my partner suggested that I needed to educate myself better about my diagnosis and said they were concerned for me if I didn't learn how to get things under control.

There are many ways to help reduce your high blood pressure such as exercising, eating right, learning how to reduce my stress, and ensuring I get enough sleep. So when I listened to chapter 3 which covers various medications I was very intrigued to listen to what meds I could look at to help me with a quicker approach of trying to get my symptoms under control faster so that I would feel more intrigued to work on the other areas such as exercise and changing my diet. This book is written by a pharmacist so hearing about the different medications made me feel more at ease since it was coming from an expert.

The author reviews what meds are reliable and other meds that have negative side effects and therefore should be avoided. Also, I had no idea that while taking specific meds, there are negative interactions when eating certain foods with the med. I feel like with this book I am more empowered to be able to make a plan as far as what steps I am going to do first, what steps I am willing to commit to, and how I can gain support from my partner to ensure I stay on track with my changes.

I think this book would be great for either the person who lives with high blood pressure or anyone in a relationship with someone who has high blood pressure so they are more educated and can be more supportive.
