Pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels

For years, my blood pressure readings at routine checkups came back higher than I expected, even though I train hard, sleep well, and pay close attention to recovery. I wasn't hypertensive, but those numbers never matched how I actually felt — and the rushed way they were taken didn't inspire confidence. After all, when a measurement happens over a sweater, with no rest period, and within seconds of walking through the door, it's hard to trust the result. That disconnect is what led me to today's guest, Craig Cooper. Craig is the CEO of CardieX, the company behind the Conneqt blood pressure monitor, and he's spent decades in cardiovascular technology — including bringing hospital-grade central blood pressure measurements into clinical trials and specialist practices. His perspective matters because he understands what's happening in the arteries closest to the heart, not just what a quick cuff at the arm can capture. When I started using Conneqt at home, things finally made sense. My central blood pressure — the pressure that actually reflects what the heart and major vessels are experiencing — was lower and healthier than my brachial readings suggested. The numbers aligned with my calcium scan, my fitness level, and how I feel day to day. It showed me that the "elevated" arm readings weren't a sign of a problem; they were a sign of poor measurement. From there, Craig and I zoom out into the bigger question: what does it look like to take ownership of your cardiovascular health without disappearing into gadget culture or depending on outdated tools in the medical system? His view is refreshingly grounded: better data helps, but only when it sits on top of simple habits — moving more, building strength, managing stress, and paying attention to long-term trends instead of one-off numbers. This episode isn't about turning yourself into a cardiologist. It's about getting a clearer picture of what your blood pressure actually represents, why the right measurement matters, and how a small shift in awareness can keep you ahead of problems instead of reacting once they've already shown up. About Craig Cooper: Craig Cooper, CEO of CardieX, the company behind the Conneqt blood pressure monitor and a longtime health-tech entrepreneur. He focuses on bringing clinical-grade cardiovascular monitoring—like central blood pressure and arterial stiffness tracking—to everyday consumers. His mission is simple: make advanced heart-health insights accessible at home. Website: conneqthealth.com Learn more:

Some fluctuations in blood pressure during preganncy are expected, but hypertensive disorders are one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide. This includes chronic or gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, HELLP, and eclampsia. High blood pressure during pregnancy can place significant stress on your heart and kidneys leading to heart and kidney disease and stroke. It also increases the risk of preterm birth, placental abruption, and cesarean. Plus, it can reduce blood flow to the placenta and limit the oxygen and nutrients available to your baby. Most pregnancy-related conditions resolve after birth, but the risk from hypertensive disorders does not end there. Mothers can develop dangerous symptoms in the days and weeks after birth, even if their blood pressure was normal throughout pregnancy. Recognizing warning signs and seeking medical attention right away can be life-saving.

Let's talk about sunlight as medicine. Sunlight isn't just about vitamin D. It's a biological signal that regulates over 200 genes, resets your circadian rhythm, and influences everything from blood sugar to blood pressure. In this episode, you'll discover why 40% of U.S. adults are vitamin D deficient and how it's connected to rising rates of metabolic disease, sleep disorders, and mood disruption. I'll explain how morning light exposure resets cortisol, melatonin, and insulin sensitivity, which is the science behind why you feel better on bright days. We'll dive into the vitamin D hormone system and how just 10-15 minutes of sunlight activates healing pathways your body was designed to use. Sunlight is free, daily medicine, and you don't need permission from your doctor to start using it. Looking to schedule a consultation with Dr. E?

This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor dive into the latest U.S. blood pressure guidelines—and reveal why nearly half of all Americans face risks that can no longer be ignored. Early intervention and smart lifestyle changes are at the heart of these new recommendations.Why is high blood pressure such a hidden danger? What do the new “elevated” and “stage one” categories mean for real people? How do doctors decide when it's time for medication versus lifestyle changes? And how does blood pressure connect to kidneys, strokes, and even dementia? Dr. Cooper unpacks the science, gives practical advice, and shares why home monitoring is now a crucial part of medical care.In this conversation-dense episode, the team breaks old myths and empowers listeners to take charge—so that “keeping an eye” on blood pressure becomes active prevention, not passive worry.Key Takeaways:New guidelines lower the bar for concern—120 over 80 is now “caution,” and 130 over 80 is “hypertension.” Early action matters.Untreated high blood pressure can lead to irreversible organ damage, strokes, kidney disease, and cognitive decline.Doctors now have a better toolkit: updated cutoffs, risk “calculators” that include zip code, and clearer protocols for who needs medication right away.Lifestyle changes (fruit, vegetables, less sodium, more movement, quality sleep, stress management, and alcohol moderation) are the first line for many—especially in the “elevated” category.Metabolic syndrome often includes high blood pressure; medicines like GLP-1s and metformin may help regulate pressure as well as metabolism.Accurate home blood pressure monitoring is strongly recommended, with validated cuff meters (not wrist models).Dr. Cooper shares actionable tips:Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables daily for potassium—bananas, spinach, potatoes, kiwis all help.Get a “validated” cuff monitor and check morning/evening, resting, following best practices.Ask your doctor about the new guidelines and risk calculators (found at the American Heart Association website).Notable Quote:“Home readings are very valuable. I really encourage people to look at the Validate BP site, find a good meter, and keep a log. Catching high blood pressure early and treating it aggressively can have profound impacts on your future health.”— Dr. Emily CooperResources from the episode:Fat Science is your source for understanding why blood pressure—and metabolic health—matter more than ever.

The air inside and outside your home often contains invisible pollutants, including fine particles and gases from traffic, industry, and household items, which accumulate in the spaces where you spend the most time Fine particulate matter (PM2.5), in particular, which is about 30 times smaller than a human hair, penetrates deeply into your lungs and bloodstream, where it contributes to cardiovascular strain and disease A large, randomized crossover trial published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that using HEPA air filters indoors significantly lowered PM2.5 exposure and reduced systolic blood pressure Research links long-term air pollution to many serious health risks beyond heart disease, including respiratory illnesses, lung cancer, impaired childhood development, heightened infection rates, and neurological conditions Aside from installing HEPA filtration systems at home, other strategies to reduce your exposure to air pollutants include switching to nontoxic household products, ventilating wisely, filtering water, and reducing outdoor exposure on polluted days
We know it sounds like click bait… T.J. thought the same thing too when Amy brought up a new study that makes this claim! And yet, when you hear why and how you should spend your next 20 minutes, it will make perfect sense with a scientific study out of the UK to back it up. The answer is free to anyone and available just about everywhere and we encourage everyone to give it a try. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Frequent standing breaks improve heart health. Research shows it reduced blood pressure by 2 to 3 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) in postmenopausal women within 12 weeks Prolonged sitting increases cancer risk significantly. Every additional two hours of daily sitting raises overall cancer risk by 6%, with longest sitters facing 56% higher cancer mortality Movement quality matters more than total sitting time. Breaking up sitting with frequent stands provides better health benefits than simply reducing total daily sitting hours Sedentary behavior triggers harmful biological changes. Sitting decreases muscle activity by 90%, slows metabolism to 1 calorie per minute, and promotes inflammation and insulin resistance Simple interventions can reduce health risks. Standing 10 minutes hourly, walking 30 minutes daily, and aiming for 10,000 steps significantly counteracts sedentary lifestyle dangers
Spirulina, a blue-green algae once used by ancient cultures as food, has been proven in modern research to significantly lower blood pressure Consuming at least 3 grams of spirulina daily for eight to 12 weeks reduces both systolic and diastolic pressure, with whole spirulina working better than extracts People over 50, those who are overweight, and adults already dealing with high blood pressure experience the strongest benefits from regular spirulina use Spirulina works by improving blood vessel flexibility, boosting nitric oxide production, and protecting arteries from oxidative stress and inflammation Safe and natural, spirulina is generally well tolerated, but it should be avoided if you're allergic to seafood or iodine, pregnant, or nursing
