Ever wonder why “normal” blood pressure keeps getting lower? Each drop expands the market — turning healthy people into lifelong customers.
~1940: 100 + your age (165/90 normal for a 65 yr old)
~1970: 160/90
~2000: 140/90
~2026: Must be under 120/80, or you’re “hypertensive”
The Profit Incentive…
• Global antihypertensive market: ~$27 billion in 2025
• Lower thresholds = millions more “diagnosed” = more scripts & revenue
• Most drugs only mask symptoms (stiff arteries, inflammation, stress) while creating side effects that often require…more drugs
Common Medication Side Effects…
• Chronic cough (ACE inhibitors)
• Electrolyte imbalances, low potassium/sodium (diuretics)
• Dizziness, fatigue, headaches
• Dehydration, muscle cramps, gout flares
• Insomnia, depression, vivid nightmares
• Slow/erratic heart rate, breathing issues
• Erectile dysfunction, libido loss
• Fainting spells, orthostatic hypotension
• Kidney strain, rare but serious angioedema
• In frail elderly: overly low BP linked to HIGHER mortality risk
Natural Ways to Optimize BP (Address Root Causes)…
• Eat whole, nutrient-dense foods — prioritize animal-based proteins, organs, eggs, dairy
• Eliminate seed oils, ultra-processed foods & excess sugar
• Boost potassium & magnesium (mineral-rich salt, leafy greens, avocados, supplement 4,700mg potassium & 600+mg magnesium glycinate if needed)
• Manage stress (breathwork, nature, sleep hygiene)
• Strength training + consistent movement
• Prioritize quality sleep & circadian rhythm
• Increase Nitric Oxide thru food & supplements.
Key nuance: In adults 80+, higher BP often correlates with better survival. Aggressive lowering can be harmful.
Question the ever-lowering numbers. Your health — not Pharma’s bottom line — should come first.
