Understanding Hypertension: The Silent Killer

A cardiologist reveals his natural method for lowering blood pressure and treating hypertension.

Dr. Steve Lome joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.

Key points discussed include:

Hypertension epidemic: The rising rates of hypertension are highlighted, with an emphasis on the fact that individuals have more control over their blood pressure than they may realize.

Blood pressure guidelines: Dr. Lome explains the American Heart Association's guidelines for normal blood pressure, which is defined as less than 120/80 mmHg, and discusses the implications of readings above this threshold.

Lifestyle vs. genetics: The conversation emphasizes that while genetics can play a role in hypertension, lifestyle choices, particularly diet, have a far more significant impact. Dr. Lome shares his personal journey of weight loss and how dietary changes can reverse hypertension.

Dietary recommendations: The discussion includes the importance of a whole food plant-based diet, the dangers of ultra-processed foods, and the high sodium content in common foods like chicken. Dr. Lome stresses the need to eliminate animal-based foods and processed foods to improve blood pressure.

Individual variability: The interview touches on the concept of individual variability in health outcomes, noting that while some may tolerate unhealthy foods, this does not mean they are beneficial for overall health.
