High Blood Pressure & Cardiac Health
Lower blood pressure naturally by improving vascular health, stress response, and metabolic efficiency
A Metabolic Approach to Blood Pressure
High blood pressure (hypertension) is not a standalone condition — it's a symptom of underlying metabolic dysfunction. At Duluth Metabolic, we address the root causes: insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, poor vascular function, elevated cortisol, and mineral imbalances.
Rather than simply masking symptoms with medication, we restore metabolic balance through targeted nutrition, stress management, exercise therapy, and lifestyle optimization. Many of our clients achieve significant blood pressure reductions or eliminate medication needs entirely under physician supervision.
Understanding Metabolic Hypertension
Blood pressure elevation occurs when your cardiovascular system is under chronic stress. Insulin resistance causes sodium retention and vascular stiffening. Chronic inflammation damages arterial walls. Elevated cortisol from stress keeps your nervous system in overdrive. Mineral imbalances (low potassium, magnesium) disrupt fluid regulation.
Conventional treatment focuses on blood pressure numbers. We focus on restoring the metabolic systems that regulate those numbers naturally.
Our Treatment Approach
- Comprehensive biomarker testing including lipids, insulin, and inflammatory markers
- 24-hour blood pressure monitoring for accurate assessment
- Personalized nutrition to reduce sodium, increase potassium/magnesium
- Insulin sensitivity protocols to improve vascular function
- Stress management and nervous system regulation
- Exercise prescriptions for cardiovascular conditioning
- Sleep optimization to support blood pressure recovery
- Weight management when applicable
- Coordination with your physician for medication adjustments
Expected Outcomes
Most clients experience measurable blood pressure improvements within 4-8 weeks. Average reductions of 10-20 mmHg systolic and 5-10 mmHg diastolic are common with consistent protocol adherence.
Beyond the numbers, you'll notice improved energy, better sleep, reduced anxiety, enhanced mental clarity, and overall cardiovascular resilience. This approach doesn't just lower blood pressure — it restores metabolic health comprehensively.
