As nurse practitioners, we often see a condition that flies under the radar but has important implications for diagnosis and treatment: secondary hypertension. While high blood pressure is common, readings that don't fit the typical profile should make us pause. In today's episode, I'll walk you through the red flags that signal secondary hypertension and use real clinical scenarios to address practical workup strategies. Tune in to discover when to suspect secondary hypertension, and learn how early recognition and timely diagnosis of underlying causes can lead to better patient outcomes and more effective hypertension management.

Fewer than 10 percent of people with hypertension had their blood sugar under control & fewer than 66 percent of diabetics had metabolic disorder under control in 2019-21.
Hypertension is a "silent killer", impacting 37% of all adults and over 50% of Senior Citizens—often presenting no symptoms while causing damage to the body. In this episode, you'll find out:—The 5 levels of Hypertension and why Diastolic is "the most important number" in your blood pressure measurement. And how Dr. Prather finds that 70% of all high blood pressure is caused by the Kidneys.—The reason that Black Americans are more prone to High Blood Pressure, affecting over 70% of all Black Senior Citizens. And how Dr. Prather has found that Arginine gets "really good results" and "great changes" for Black patients.—Why Dr. Prather says you will "never get hypertension under control" if there is a Heavy Metal toxicity in the body. And the Hair Analysis Dr. Prather uses to diagnose a patient's level of heavy metals. —The effectiveness of Vitamin C in reducing blood pressure. And why anti-Cholesterol Statin Drugs can actually cause or contribute to Hypertension.—How most prescription heart medications LOWER your CoQ10, which is actually one of the most important things for the healing of the heart. And the kind of salt you should be eating that will actually heal your Kidneys.—Why Acupuncture is helpful for Hypertension, both temporarily and over the long-term. And why Chiropractic adjustments help high blood pressure by making "a strong change in the nervous system".—The effectiveness of Herbals in bringing blood pressure down. And how Holistic Integration uses Electrodermal Screening (EDS) to determine which supplement will work best on a patient instead of just guessing.—How Dr. Prather "always sees a difference" in reducing the amount of medication a hypertension patient needs and can actually eliminate their need for prescription drugs "most of the time".—The DASH Diet that helps High Blood Pressure by increasing Fiber and taking stress off of the kidneys. And the External CounterPulsation (ECP) Therapy that provides 5-years of marathon training for the heart in just 7 weeks.—The details of our next free Holistic Heart seminar with Dr. Prather on Wednesday, July 30th at 6:30 p.m. And how those who attend will receive our Autonomic Nervous System Test that measures your heart function, nervous system, and circulatory system for just $49–normally a $195 value.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
How can we better understand the developmental nature of cardiovascular disease across the life course and improve the health of people who experience chronic early life stress? In this episode Dr. Nathaniel Jenkins (University of Iowa) interviews lead author Dr. Annemarie Wentzel (North-West University, South African Medical Research Council Unit for Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease) and expert Dr. Romain Harmancey (The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston) about the study by Wentzel et al. which found that stress, expressed as a cumulative allostatic load score, impacted the microvasculature, macrovasculature, and central cardiac structure and function on a preclinical level in otherwise healthy emerging adults. The authors also found that the composite allostatic load score was particularly accurate in predicting masked hypertension and pre-diabetes in their study population. The composite allostatic load score incorporates multiple physiological biomarker systems and can offer clinicians an additional tool to use in addressing root causes of chronic stress.

It is with deep reverence and gratitude that we share Angela's birth stories with you. Midwife Angela shares her powerful journey through three profoundly different births. Her story begins with the premature birth of her first son, Colton, at just 26 weeks following an antepartum haemorrhage and preterm premature rupture of membranes. Angela recounts the emotional and clinical intensity of undergoing a caesarean, navigating the heartbreak of NICU life and the following devastating decision to say goodbye to her baby boy after 22 days on life support. She shares how her midwifery brain helped her to slow down, appreciate the birth experience at the time and also helped her advocate for the information and support she needed as her family had to say goodbye to their baby. Angela then opens up about the grief that followed the loss of her baby boy, an early miscarriage melting into that same grief, and then the conception of her next baby—whose birth would take place just 13 months later, putting her in a 'high-risk' category for VBAC. Despite pressure to have a repeat caesarean, Angela advocated for herself with the support of a trusted midwife and birthed her baby vaginally, powerfully after an artificial rupture of membranes.Her third and final birth was fast and intense, an induction with breaking of waters following reduced movements and increasing blood pressure. This labour was just 50 minutes from the first contraction to holding her baby! Again, with the support of her midwife, Angela experienced a powerful, swift vaginal birth after caesarean.With heartfelt wisdom, vulnerability and remarkable strength, Angela reflects on how her midwifery experience shaped her own birth experiences and also how her personal experiences of birth have shaped her practice as a midwife.Please join us on our journey to bringing you all kinds of VBAC stories from across the country from here on in by subscribing and following us on social media, @australianvbacstories on Instagram and Australian VBAC Stories on Facebook.

Send us a textOn this episode of the CMAJ Podcast, hosts Dr. Mojola Omole and Dr. Blair Bigham speak with two authors of the latest “Hypertension Canada guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in adults in primary care”The discussion reflects a shared urgency: despite past successes, Canada's hypertension control rates are declining. The new guidelines aim to reverse this trend by simplifying diagnosis and treatment for frontline clinicians.Dr. Rémi Goupil, a nephrologist and clinician researcher at Sacré-Cœur Hospital in Montreal, and Dr. Greg Hundemer, a nephrologist and clinician scientist at The Ottawa Hospital, explain that the updated guideline is deliberately designed for primary care providers. They highlight key shifts: lowering the diagnostic threshold for hypertension to ≥ 130/80 mm Hg, simplifying blood pressure targets, and emphasizing accurate, standardized measurement techniques both in clinic and at home. The guidelines were created with input from a majority-primary care committee—including family physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and patient partners—to ensure clinical applicability.Together, the panel outlines a streamlined nine-step treatment algorithm, emphasizing combination therapy as first-line pharmacologic management. They explain the evidence supporting ARB–thiazide combinations, discuss cost considerations for drug selection, and address adherence challenges. They also explore red flags for secondary hypertension and how the algorithm supports—but does not replace—clinical judgment.For physicians, this guideline offers a clear and practical roadmap: measure blood pressure correctly, aim for systolic pressure below 130 mm Hg, and use the simplified treatment sequence to improve adherence and outcomes. Designed to be easy to implement, the new approach aims to empower primary care providers to act with confidence.Join us as we explore medical solutions that address the urgent need to change healthcare.

Contributor: Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: How do we risk-stratify chest-pain patients? One option is the HEART score This score predicts a patient's 6-week risk of a major adverse cardiac event. Ex. Cath procedure, CABG, PCI, death H stands for History Ask 1) Was the patient diaphoretic? 2) Did they have nausea and/or vomiting? 3) Did the pain radiate down the right or left arm? 4) Was it exertional? Yes to one = one point. Two or more = two points. E stands for EKG One point for left ventricular hypertrophy, t-wave inversions, new bundle-branch blocks. No points for first degree AV block, benign early repolarization, or QT-prolongation Two points for ST-depression A stands for Age >65 gets two points 45-64 gets one point R stands for Risk factors Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity, family history, smoking, previous MI, previous CABG, stroke, peripheral arterial disease 1-2 risk factors get 1 point More than two risk factors gets two points T stands for Troponin 1-3x upper limit of normal gets one point >3x upper limit of normal gets two points This gives you a score between zero and ten 0-3 points, patients have a ~2% chance of an adverse event These patients likely go home 4-6 points, patients have a ~20% chance of an adverse event These patients get admitted or expedited outpatient stress test/echo 7-10 points, patients have a ~60% chance of an adverse event Admit and call cardiology. These patients likely get catheterized References Backus BE, Six AJ, Kelder JC, Bosschaert MA, Mast EG, Mosterd A, Veldkamp RF, Wardeh AJ, Tio R, Braam R, Monnink SH, van Tooren R, Mast TP, van den Akker F, Cramer MJ, Poldervaart JM, Hoes AW, Doevendans PA.

Practitioners often find rejuvenation in exploring new techniques or revisiting familiar practices in a new light. Utilizing FSM, medical practitioners have noted a renewed sense of purpose, especially when faced with chaotic and stressful situations. Clinical Observations and Case Studies Understanding Vestibular Injuries Vestibular injuries, often undiagnosed by conventional means, can profoundly impact patients' lives. A notable case highlighted the importance of a thorough history and vestibular screening for patients with anxiety and reading comprehension issues. Uncovering such connections can dramatically shift a patient's trajectory, improving their self-esteem and functional capabilities. Practical Steps: - Utilize a tuning fork for auditory assessments. - Perform comprehensive examinations to identify vestibular injuries. - Consider peripheral issues, such as reading comprehension and head trauma, that might suggest vestibular involvement. Integration into Treatment Protocols FSM's strengths lie in its adaptability across various conditions and symptoms. Common issues such as dizziness and balance problems, often resulting from exposure to substances or injuries, can be mitigated by targeting specific frequencies. Adjusting these for midbrain and cerebellum support can aid in patient recovery. Key Frequencies: - Use 40 and 44 Hz to relax neck muscles and alleviate anxiety. - Apply concussion protocols in combination with vestibular injury screens. Managing Chronic Conditions Some chronic conditions, like Raynaud's phenomenon and granulomatous diseases, may pose treatment challenges. FSM can aid by addressing both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system imbalances, targeting arterial function, and reducing inflammation. Strategies for Practitioners: - For Raynaud's phenomenon, focus on enhancing arterial vitality while minimizing sympathetic stimulation. - Address the complexities of conditions like Wegener's granulomatosis by understanding the interplay between vascular inflammation and organ systems. Enhancing Practitioner Skills To optimize the benefits of FSM, practitioners are encouraged to deepen their understanding through continuous education. Hands-on workshops and patient practicums can significantly enhance skills, allowing medical professionals to implement advanced protocols confidently. Integrating FSM into medical practice not only expands treatment possibilities but also transforms patient outcomes. By embracing new methodologies and maintaining a patient-centric approach, practitioners can offer hope and healing where traditional methods have fallen short. Stay informed, remain curious, and continue to explore the transformative power of frequency-specific microcurrent in patient care.
Selon l'OMS, 1,28 milliard de personnes dans le monde âgées de 30 à 79 ans sont atteintes d'hypertension. Les deux tiers d'entre elles vivent dans des pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire. Cette pathologie chronique correspond à une pression trop élevée dans les vaisseaux sanguins. Cette maladie peut être asymptomatique, ce qui explique que 46% des adultes atteints d'hypertension l'ignorent. Comment se passe le dépistage ? Comment assure-t-on le suivi de la maladie ? Quelles peuvent en être les manifestations et les complications ?

This week, Dr. Prather talks about how Aerobic Exercise and External CounterPulsation (ECP) Therapy are treatments that benefit every patient and all types of Cardiovascular Disease. In this episode, you'll find out:—Why Dr. Prather calls ECP Therapy and Aerobic Exercise "the panacea for Cardiovascular Disease".—The amount of Aerobic Exercise each person needs to prevent or reverse Cardiovascular Disease. (And why everyone reading this probably does not measure up!)—The story of how ECP Therapy was designed by Harvard decades ago to do Aerobic Exercise for patients who couldn't even walk across the room without losing their breath. Plus, how long-distance runners are using ECP to help set new records. —How Dr. Prather called the FDA to ask if it would be OK for him to offer ECP Therapy to his patients and was actually encouraged by them to do this therapy in his office.—The "amazing" safety record of ECP Therapy that has NEVER had a single injury reported in decades of use.—The screening Dr. Prather does on patients prior to ECP Therapy for potential contraindications to ensure patient safety.—Why Cardiologists refer for ECP Therapy after everything else has been tried. And how everyone who has been referred to Dr. Prather for it has lived.—The conditions that benefit from ECP Therapy, including: Angina, Congestive Heart Failure, Atherosclerosis, Hypertension, Kidney Disease, Restless Leg Syndrome, Diabetes, Cognitive Brain Function, and Erectile Dysfunction. —How Natalie and John came to see Dr. Prather without an appointment after leaving two different hospitals. And how Dr. Prather was able to provide John relief from pain that very first day.—The details about Dr. Prather's upcoming free educational seminar, "Diabetes Decoded: A Holistic Look At Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes" on Wednesday, June 25th at 6:30 p.m.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
A review of the carbohydrate insulin model of obesity and the related proposal that low carbohydrate diets are superior to traditional low fat diets. I begin with a discussion of the theory behind the carbohydrate insulin model, and then assess its plausibility using relevant evidence from rodent studies, dietary studies, ahd controlled feeding experiments. I argue that the scientific evidence does not support the alleged benefits of low carb diets for weight loss in otherwise healthy adults.

Send us a message with this link, we would love to hear from you. Standard message rates may apply.Insulin resistance often precedes diabetes by 5-10 years and serves as an early warning sign of potential damage to your cardiovascular system and other organs. We explore this common condition, its risk factors, and how simple lifestyle changes can reverse it before more serious health problems develop.• Insulin resistance occurs when muscles, liver, and fat cells fail to respond to normal levels of insulin• The pancreas compensates by producing more insulin, eventually leading to beta cell failure• Clinical signs include dark skin patches in body folds (acanthosis nigricans), elevated triglycerides, and increased waist circumference• One in three Americans have prediabetes, with many also experiencing insulin resistance• Risk factors include central obesity, sedentary lifestyle, family history, PCOS, and certain racial/ethnic backgrounds• Sleep disturbances, chronic stress, and fatty liver disease are emerging factors linked to insulin resistance• A 5-7% weight reduction improves insulin sensitivity by over 50%• Regular physical activity (150+ minutes weekly) helps glucose enter cells more efficiently• Diet modifications focusing on whole foods, limiting refined sugars, and following Mediterranean or DASH patterns show significant benefits• "The movement is the medicine, the food is the medicine" when addressing insulin resistanceSupport the showSubscribe to Our Newsletter!

The white-coat effect is a measure of blood pressure change from before to during the visit in office/clinic when the blood pressure is recorded by a physician or nurse; this was first described in 1983 by Mancia et al, and was initially thought to represent a benign process. But it was unclear what this actually meant for pregnancy. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has been used in pregnancy for about 20 years now. Use of this monitoring option has revealed a subgroup of patients who have persistently high blood pressure (BP) in the presence of health care providers, but a normal ambulatory or self-measured BP. This phenomenon has been termed “White Coat Hypertension” (WCH). In 2013, The International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP) published the revised classification for hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, that included WCH, not previously included. The ISSHP guidelines also emphasize that a diagnosis of white coat hypertension in pregnancy should only be considered before 20 weeks of gestation. We now know that WCH, outside of pregnancy, is not an entirely benign process. The role of metabolic risk factors in patients with white-coat hypertension was first outlined in 2000 by Kario and Pickering. When metabolic risk factors are present in association with white-coat hypertension, the increased risk of target organ damage is determined not only by the blood pressure characteristics but also by the metabolic abnormalities. Recognizing the potential risks of white coat hypertension was also published in a commentary in 2016 out of the European Society of Cardiology. That article's title was, “White-coat hypertension: not so innocent”. But what is the latest data on WCH in pregnancy? Is WCH linked to poor obstetrical outcomes? Does WHC need medication therapy? We have data from 2024 to help us. Listen in for details.

In this episode, we discuss the diagnosis and treatment of resistant hypertension, including a newer endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) called aprocitentan (Tryvio®). Key Concepts The diagnosis of true resistant hypertension is based on requiring more than 3 antihypertensives (ACE inhibitor or ARB + calcium channel blocker + diuretic) to achieve goal BP, ruling out inaccurate BP readings, and ensuring patient adherence to their antihypertensive therapy. Non-pharmacologic therapy (especially dietary sodium restriction), medication adherence, and lifestyle changes are critical to the treatment of resistant hypertension. The preferred 4th line option for most patients with resistant hypertension is spironolactone. After adding spironolactone, additional therapies are based on expert opinion and patient-specific factors. These additional therapies may include beta blockers, alpha-2 agonists, alpha-1 blockers, hydralazine, minoxidil, and aprocitentan. References Carey RM, Calhoun DA, Bakris GL, et al.

Today, I've got a fantastic guest with me—Mark Young, the brilliant mind behind the book "Radical Generosity." In this episode, Mark and I dive deep into a topic that's affecting so many of us: hypertension. You know, high blood pressure isn't just something that happens out of the blue. Mark breaks it down for us, explaining how it's often a symptom of deeper issues like a poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress. These are things we can tackle head-on! We chat about the importance of cutting down on sugar—because, let's face it, sugar is a sneaky little devil that wreaks havoc on our health. Mark also shares some insights on isometric exercises, which are a game-changer for anyone looking to improve their health without spending hours in the gym. And here's something cool: Mark introduces us to the Zona device, a nifty tool for managing blood pressure. But it's not just about the gadgets and exercises. Mark emphasizes the power of generosity and how it plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. It's all about giving and receiving, folks! This episode is packed with practical strategies to help you achieve metabolic health and manage hypertension beyond just popping pills. So, tune in, take notes, and let's get on the path to better health together. Remember, small changes can lead to big results. Keep being awesome, and I'll catch you on the next episode!

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker answers questions submitted by EBB Pro Members—each exploring a different facet of evidence-based maternity care. First, she explores the latest evidence on early induction for gestational hypertension, including findings from the WILL trial and other recent studies. What are the real risks and benefits of inducing labor at 37 or 38 weeks for gestational hypertension? And how should families weigh these decisions with their providers? Next, Dr. Dekker shares new insights into the effectiveness of acupuncture and acupressure for labor pain, anxiety, and Cesarean recovery. From systematic reviews to randomized trials, the data is growing! Finally, she looks into the evidence on interpregnancy intervals. What does the research say about the risks associated with short or long gaps between pregnancies? And how might this information apply to those who are pregnant again after a five-year or more break?

Hypertension isn’t a snapshot—it’s a movie, and most of us are missing the plot. Technology can outpace tradition when it’s patient-first, not doctor-first. This conversation will break new ground by flipping the hypertension narrative from a dry medical topic to a human behavior puzzle—cracking why we ignore what kills us and how tech can jolt us awake. Unlike other podcasts where Dr. Shah might recite Hilo’s specs or his CV, here he’ll wrestle with the messy realities of healthcare inertia, his own career gamble, and the psychology of change. The fresh angles—his pivot story, the unseen patient barriers, the next wearable frontier—will spark revelations Jay hasn’t unpacked elsewhere.
