Lower Your Blood Pressure Naturally By Raising Nitric Oxide

In this solo episode of The Natural Heart Doctor Show, I take on one of the most common questions I hear: what do you actually do about high blood pressure? My answer starts by reframing the reading itself. A high number is a sign that something deeper is going on, and one factor that too often gets missed is nitric oxide, a gas your body makes that signals the muscle in your artery walls to relax. When those vessels open, blood moves more easily and pressure eases. Nitric oxide also works as a natural anticoagulant, which is part of why it matters so much for circulation.Then I walk through where nitric oxide actually comes from. Food nitrates in beets, arugula, and leafy greens meet the bacteria in a healthy mouth, turn into nitrite, and convert into nitric oxide with the help of stomach acid. That pathway explains two things people rarely connect: antiseptic mouthwash and acid-blocking drugs can quietly work against you. I also cover the amino-acid route, with L-arginine, L-citrulline, and L-taurine feeding nitric oxide synthase, the role of UVA sunlight on your skin, and why I always come back to the same rule: test, don't guess.- - - - -Jack Wolfson, DO, FACCWebsites: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drjackwolfson.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://naturalheartdoctor.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjackwolfson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ready to move past the confusion and fear of typical heart health approaches? Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠naturalheartdoctor.com/discovery⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to schedule your free discovery call and start your journey toward a 100-year heart with real, evidence-based answers.- - - - -PODCAST Thank you for listening. Please subscribe and share. This podcast is produced by DrTalks.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drtalks.com/podcast-service/
