Have you seen the new 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and wondered if you should follow them? You may have seen talk about them on the news and social media, and don't know quite what to believe. The slogan of eating more ‘real foods' sounds good though, and the New Pyramid diagram seems to show that all foods - including butter, steak, whole milk and cheese – would be fine to eat and that we don't really need to worry about the amounts eaten. But DO we need to worry? And what about the recommendations about protein and nutritional adequacy issues in vegan and vegetarian diets?   Let's talk about this. In this episode, we'll take a deeper dive into the New Dietary Guidelines for Americans and look at 3 more KEY things you need to know about them, to inform your own health. We'll touch on protein, what the Guidelines say about vegan and vegetarian diets, and what has been found through research.

Forceful abdominal exhalations activate a brainstem circuit that tightens blood vessels and raises blood pressure, even in the absence of stress or exercise Slow, calm breathing quiets the nervous system signals that drive blood pressure higher, making it a powerful daily tool for regulation Long-term high blood pressure reduces blood flow to your brain and shrinks regions responsible for memory, focus, and decision-making Blood pressure control depends on cumulative daily habits, not single readings, which explains why short-term fixes often fail Practicing nasal, slow, and passive breathing once or twice daily helps lower blood pressure by calming the systems that control it at the source

In this episode, Dr. Jockers shares the top seven foods to help clear arterial plaque, lower blood pressure, and reduce heart disease risk.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Jack Wolfson, board-certified cardiologist and founder of Natural Heart Doctor, to challenge everything you think you know about heart disease. You'll discover why the "100-year heart" isn't a myth but a design principle. They unpack how true health is built through eat well, live well, think well — and why testing, not guessing, changes everything.   You'll learn why lowering cholesterol or blood pressure with medication isn't the same as addressing root causes. Dr. Wolfson explains the real role of inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic health, and advanced biomarkers in cardiovascular risk. They also discuss fasting, nutrient-dense ancestral nutrition, and why seafood and organ meats play a powerful role in heart longevity.   You'll also explore overlooked drivers of heart disease, including sleep quality, sunlight exposure, mold toxicity, oral health, nervous system alignment, and mental well-being. The conversation reveals how purpose, community, and emotional resilience directly impact cardiovascular outcomes.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken begin with a medical success story with a new cancer vaccine, the importance of a strong immune system, and how we are inadvertently aging ourselves faster. Next, Doug and Dr. Ken address an increase in life expectancy, a study showing night owls have a higher risk of heart disease than early birds, and the state of public health (specifically where we're at with measles outbreaks. Moving on, Dr. Ken breaks down how weight-loss drugs are being shown to have a positive effect on heart-health when helping with weight loss. Continuing on with the discussion on heart-health and optimal cardiovascular awareness, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss what the numbers of blood pressure mean and why spikes happen at various times. Then, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions with a strong focus on the MIT Smart Pill, a biodegradable antenna that transmits a wireless signal from the stomach to confirm medication has been swallowed. Designed to improve adherence for high-risk patients, the pill uses zinc and cellulose materials to safely dissolve within a week, leaving only a tiny, non-biodegradable RFID chip that is naturally excreted. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Stephen and Jonathan delve into various health topics, focusing on the implications of statin use, the importance of understanding blood test results, and the challenges of navigating healthcare systems. They discuss the role of diet, particularly the carnivore diet, in managing health conditions, and the significance of supplements. The conversation also touches on the complexities of blood pressure management, dietary guidelines in hospitals, and the potential risks associated with high-fat consumption. Overall, the discussion emphasises a holistic approach to health, advocating for understanding root causes rather than relying solely on medications.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Health Conversations01:20 The Statins Debate and Misreported Studies04:32 Polypharmacy and Root Cause Analysis09:28 Understanding Blood Test Results11:54 Experiences with Healthcare Systems15:24 Dietary Guidelines and Hospital Food17:54 Interpreting Blood Metrics19:12 The Role of Supplements in Health20:12 Blood Pressure and Health Indicators22:09 Managing High Blood Pressure27:00 Fat Adaptation and Gallbladder Health29:57 Water Fasting and Dietary Discipline30:52 Constipation and Dietary Adjustments34:23 Postprandial Insulin Response36:58 Carnivore Diet and Polycythemia41:42 Fat Consumption and Diabetes Risk45:51 Potassium Iodide Supplementation

Send a textDr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to talk about what the Super Bowl can teach us about medicine. The doctor discusses on how players get two weeks off to prepare (and heal) for the Super Bowl. He then relates this to a growing trend in investigational medicine where pharmaceutical companies are searching for longer-term medications for blood pressure and other conditions that only need to be taken once a month or less. The hope is that this "time off" from taking medicines will allow for better outcomes. Dr. Koren describes a specific investigational study looking at a potential monthly blood pressure medication and explains that the relaxed schedule may take the pressure off patients who take these medications.Be a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research.Have a question for Dr. Koren?

Commentary by Dr.  Jian'an Wang.

Heart health is brain health. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and blood sugar don't just affect your heart—they can also increase stroke risk and impact memory and long-term brain function.In this episode of Baptist Health Talk, host Sandra Peebles speaks with Dr. Marcus St. John, interventional cardiologist, and Dr. Nestor Beltre, neurologist and movement disorder specialist, about how shared risk factors connect heart disease and cognitive health. They explain why keeping blood pressure in a healthy range may lower the risk of cognitive impairment, why exercise is truly “fertilizer for the brain,” and how the Mediterranean lifestyle supports both heart and brain health.The doctors also address common misconceptions about supplements and explain how stress and depression can mimic memory problems—often mistaken for early dementia. Learn practical, evidence-based steps you can take today to protect both your heart and your brain.Host:Sandra PeeblesAward-Winning JournalistGuests:Marcus St. John, M.D.Interventional CardiologistBaptist Health Miami Cardiac & Vascular InstituteNestor Beltre, M.D.Neurologist and Movement Disorders SpecialistBaptist Health Miami Neuroscience Institute

Commentary by Dr.  Chhabi Satpathy.

High blood pressure remains a significant health concern. Nearly half of U.S. adults – 46.7% -- have hypertension. In Kansas, the number of adults diagnosed with high blood pressure is 34.7%. This troubling health trend prompted Kansas State University and K-State Extension to develop and offer a free program to help residents better understand and manage their blood pressure. The program, Hypertension Awareness and Prevention, has turned into a multi-part community health effort. The coordinator of the program, Stephanie Gutierrez, says home monitoring plays a key role in the success of the program. Sound Living is a weekly public affairs program addressing issues related to families and consumers. It is hosted by Jeff Wichman. Each episode shares the expertise of K-State specialists in fields such as child nutrition, food safety, adult development and aging, youth development, family resource management, physical fitness and more. Send comments, questions or requests for copies of past programs to ksrenews@ksu.edu. K‑State Research and Extension is a short name for the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, a program designed to generate and distribute useful knowledge for the well‑being of Kansans. Supported by county, state, federal and private funds, the program has county Extension offices, experiment fields, area Extension offices and regional research centers statewide. Its headquarters is on the K‑State campus in Manhattan.

Regular energy drink use pushes your heart and blood vessels into a constant stress state that medications and fitness can't override while stimulants remain in your system Severe blood pressure spikes and dangerous heart rhythm events have occurred in people drinking energy drinks who appeared healthy and had no prior heart disease Energy drinks stack caffeine with other stimulants and added sugar, creating a combined strain that overwhelms normal cardiovascular control mechanisms Low cellular energy drives the urge to rely on stimulants, but energy drinks mask the problem rather than restoring real energy production Removing energy drinks and rebuilding cellular energy through food, movement, and daily structure helps your heart regain stability and lowers real cardiovascular risk

What if eating the right vegetables could make exercise feel easier while simultaneously lowering your blood pressure? In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, host Chuck Carroll is joined by metabolic health expert Cyrus Khambatta of Evolution Health to break down the science behind nitrate-rich vegetables and how they dramatically improve blood flow, oxygen delivery, endurance, and recovery. You'll learn how nitrates convert into nitric oxide, why foods like beets, arugula, spinach, and celery outperform supplements, and how simple dietary changes can enhance athletic performance — even if you're not an athlete. We also clear up confusion about nitrates in processed meats, explain why mouthwash can block benefits, and reveal the ideal timing and amounts for maximum results. In this episode, you'll discover: • How nitrates lower blood pressure naturally • Why nitric oxide improves endurance & oxygen efficiency • The best nitrate-rich vegetables to eat daily • How nitrates support mitochondria & cellular energy • When and how much to eat for exercise performance • Why nitrates from vegetables ≠ nitrates from deli meats

Why Are We Still Not Regulating?The world has become objectively overwhelming, and many of us have started accepting high stress as a permanent fact of life. Kent and Caanan explore why we continue to run the same old scripts in a dysregulating environment and why prioritizing your nervous system is no longer a luxury, but a necessity for survival.From a vulnerable look back at their "growth phase" in 2016 to navigating the heavy toll of global news, this episode breaks down how to identify what truly drains your energy. Whether you are dealing with personal upheaval or the weight of the world, learn why prioritizing regulation and having the discernment to say "no" to things that upset your nervous system is the smartest move you can make for your well-being. CHAPTERS:(00:00) Why are we still not regulating?(00:49) Mind Share: Looking back at 2016 and the "Chapter 5" version of us(03:34) The universal struggle of a rough landscape(06:10) Carrying the world's problems on top of personal trauma(09:03) Lessons from 2016: The "Blood Pressure in the Car" era(12:45) When "good" things on paper are actually dysregulating(16:53) Energy Tracking: Green, Yellow, and Red activities(20:27) Worth the Time: The Traitors (TV series) and ACLU "Know Your Rights" literature KEY TAKEAWAYS:Regulation is Key: Your nervous system regulation is worth paying attention to all the time, regardless of how "productive" or "good" an activity seems on paper.Permission to Pivot: You have permission to stop doing things that are dysregulating, even if you've already committed to them or they are considered "growth-oriented."The "Everything" Table: Habits, diet, exercise, and the media you consume should all be evaluated by how they leave you feeling—either freer and more authentic or depleted and heavy. RESOURCES MENTIONED:Energy Tracking Worksheet: https://novacationrequired.com/store/worksheet-bundleACLU Know Your Rights: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rightsStrengths and Personality Assessments: https://novacationrequired.com/services SUPPORT NO VACATION REQUIRED:If this episode helped you find a moment of peace or a new way to look at your stress, please leave a review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

High blood pressure isn’t a disease—it’s a signal. In this episode of The Ask Dr. Ernst Show, Dr. Ernst explains why the 120/80 standard is misleading, why blood pressure rises in response to internal stress and resistance, and shares the four most effective ways to lower blood pressure at home naturally. You’ll learn how fasting rapidly reduces pressure, how nitric oxide restores healthy blood vessel function, why magnesium is essential for vascular relaxation, and how kidney stress silently drives hypertension—all from a root-cause, functional perspective designed to restore true heart health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Chris responds to a listener's thoughtful question: “Do we really need to check blood pressure on every adult patient?” What starts as a question about workflow becomes a much bigger conversation about how optometrists spend their time, what really changes patient outcomes, and how to break the habit of checking boxes just for compliance. We unpack: The clinical and administrative context behind routine BP checks Why MIPS might not apply to your practice—and what that means The opportunity cost of low-yield testing How to rethink what “comprehensive” really means in your exam The case for reclaiming time to do more of what matters Bottom line: If it doesn't change how you care for the patient, maybe it doesn't belong in the exam.

This week, we conclude our 4-part series on the #1 killer by talking about how to prevent Cardiovascular Disease.  In this episode, you'll find out:—Why Dr. Prather says that preventing Cardiovascular Disease should be a top priority of every office providing holistic care, being responsible for one-out-of-every-three deaths.—How proper diagnostics are the key to preventing Cardiovascular deaths.  And why you should seek diagnostics from a Structure-Function Care perspective.—When you should start being screened for Cardiovascular Disease.  And why Dr. Prather is finding that it is earlier than recommended.—How there was an 85% improvement in outcomes and 60% reduction in costs when Blue Cross/Blue Shield HMO did a trial that featured Structure-Function Care as the primary health care model.  —Why Dr. Prather gets better patient results from External CounterPulsation (ECP) Therapy than what the ECP researchers are seeing.—The reason Dr. Prather says that the bodies of those who are triathletes and marathon runners are "a wreck".  —Why Dr. Prather says how deep you breathe indicates how long you will live.  And why some patients complain that Dr. Prather breathes too heavy!  —How it is harder to pump blood through fat than through muscle.  And how obesity impacts Cardiovascular Disease.—The greater importance of fat percentage, not just weight, when it comes to a healthy and sustainable weight loss.  —The importance of inflammation as the true cause of Cardiovascular Disease, not Cholesterol, in Dr. Prather's view.  And how doctors are often surprised when Dr. Prather helps patients to no longer require Blood Pressure medication.  http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com*Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community:https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcastOriginal air date:  12-27-2025

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the renaming of fatty liver disease to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (M-A-S-L-D) to reduce stigma and improve diagnosis. Dr. Mary Ella's efforts at the University of Chicago Medicine highlight how this change aids in better patient identification and treatment. Leyla emphasizes lifestyle changes like a low-carb diet to manage and reverse the disease. The episode also covers the prevalence of fake extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on the market, ways to identify authentic olive oil, and the importance of choosing quality over mass-produced options.

In this solo episode, Dr. Mike breaks down everything you need to know about blood pressure, why it's so commonly misunderstood, how to measure it correctly, and what optimal numbers really look like. He explains why 120/80 isn't ideal for everyone, why blood pressure variability can be more dangerous than steady high readings, and how sleep, stress, and undiagnosed sleep apnea quietly drive hypertension. The episode walks through a clear, practical framework for managing blood pressure using lifestyle interventions first, followed by supplements, and medications only when necessary.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis and Max delve into the complexities of hemorrhagic shock, discussing its classifications, the importance of understanding compensated versus uncompensated shock, and the vital signs that indicate a patient's condition. They explore resuscitation strategies, emphasizing the need for careful assessment and decision-making in trauma care. Special considerations for different populations, including children, pregnant women, and the elderly, are also highlighted, providing valuable insights for medical professionals in emergency situations.TakeawaysUnderstanding the progression of hemorrhagic shock is crucial.Compensated shock allows the body to maintain organ perfusion despite blood loss.Classifications of shock help in assessing the severity of blood loss.Vital signs are key indicators in evaluating a patient's condition.Resuscitation decisions should be based on multiple data points, not just one.Children have different vital sign norms and require special attention.Pregnant women can compensate for blood loss better than non-pregnant individuals.Elderly patients may not tolerate shock as well due to comorbidities.Communication with EMS about blood loss at the scene is vital.Continuous reassessment of the patient is essential in trauma care.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Hemorrhagic Shock02:57 Understanding the Classes of Hemorrhagic Shock05:51 Compensated vs. Uncompensated Shock08:40 The Importance of Blood Loss Assessment11:57 Physiological Responses to Blood Loss14:47 Evaluating Shock: Key Indicators17:57 Tachycardia and Its Implications20:51 Blood Pressure and Compensation Mechanisms23:42 Understanding Pulse Pressure Dynamics36:01 Understanding the Four Gears of Compensation39:23 Assessing Orthostasis in Trauma Patients43:53 The Importance of Urine Output in Trauma46:42 Mental Status Changes in Trauma Patients49:38 Classifying Shock: From Compensated to Decompensated01:00:19 The Transition from Class Two to Class Three Shock01:10:19 Class Four Shock: The Final Stage of Decompensation01:12:14 Assessing Hemorrhage Control and Decision Making01:19:54 Understanding Classifications of Shock01:31:42 Special Considerations for Pediatric and Elderly PatientsFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠

Exploring the Benefits and Science of CBD and Canna Mimetics with Expert Maggie Frank, the national educator for CV Sciences, makers of PlusCBD Oil. She has a deep-dive into the latest updates on CBD (cannabidiol) products, their benefits, and distinctions from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Frank explains the endocannabinoid system and how phytocannabinoids like CBD can help achieve homeostasis in the body, aiding in stress management, inflammation, and gut health. They discuss the nuances of different cannabis plants, the current landscape of CBD research, and the misconceptions around THC use. Additionally, Maggie introduces some innovative CV Sciences products, including those that do not contain CBD but offer similar benefits through canna mimetics—natural compounds that mimic the effects of cannabinoids. Among these products are a focus-enhancing gummy and a metabolic support formulation called ReShape. They also touch upon upcoming legislation and how it impacts the hemp industry. The discussion highlights the broad-spectrum potential of CBD and related compounds in promoting overall health and addressing various conditions.

We had a lot of fun recording this episode because he's as intensely nerdy about salt as we are about birth and motherhood.We question how salt ended up cast as the villain and what that fear has quietly done inside us, especially when studies and headlines ignored context like water and overall diet. We open up the tension between the mineral-rich salt and spring water humans adapted to and the stripped, “dead” versions most people are leaning on today.

High blood pressure is common, quiet, and massively influenced by how we live, which means most of us have a lot more control than we think. Morgan, Jess, and Brooke break down what actually drives healthy blood pressure, why hydration and potassium matter more than people realize, how movement fits in (without overcomplicating it), and why stress and sleep can push your numbers around more than salty food ever will.

How can one tree be said to bless, protect, seduce… and curse?In this episode, I'm joined by herbalist and writer Ruthie Kølle for a deep dive into one of my all-time favorite plants: hawthorn (Crataegus spp.). Together, we explore hawthorn's rich folklore, its potent heart-centered gifts, and the magic woven into its thorns, blossoms, and berries. Drawing from her Celtic heritage, Ruthie shares how hawthorn is not just a medicine, but a living bridge to old-world traditions and ancestral ways of healing.Ruthie brought us her recipe for Anam Cara Heart Opening Cordial, a delightful blend of hawthorn and other rose-family plants. I love how this recipe can be so easily adapted to reflect the region you live in! You can download a beautifully illustrated recipe card here. By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Three different body systems that benefit from hawthorn's gifts► What makes hawthorn so nourishing and protective, both for the ecosystem and for the human body► Why most people could benefit from working with hawthorn on a daily basis► Five different ways to include hawthorn in food► Why hawthorn is called the "trysting tree" in Irish lore—and what that has to do with the putrid smell of its flowers► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Ruthie Kølle lives in a cabin situated on the northern hem of her family's 9th generation farm, which occupies unceded Lenape land. She is deeply rooted to her place there and has apprenticed herself to reconnecting to her own Celtic ancestral ways, weaving them into the stories of the land where she is currently planted. It's her passion to reconnect with and integrate these traditional and ritual methods of healing into our modern lives.Ruthie has been studying folk and clinical herbalism since 2012, has been practicing intuitive bodywork since 2005, and creating ceramic art for 30 years.This conversation is so full of wonder, story, and heartfelt herbal wisdom.
