Lower Your Blood Pressure Naturally By Raising Nitric Oxide

<p>In this solo episode of <strong>The Natural Heart Doctor Show</strong>, I take on one of the most common questions I hear: what do you actually do about high blood pressure? My answer starts by reframing the reading itself. A high number is a sign that something deeper is going on, and one factor that too often gets missed is nitric oxide, a gas your body makes that signals the muscle in your artery walls to relax. When those vessels open, blood moves more easily and pressure eases. Nitric oxide also works as a natural anticoagulant, which is part of why it matters so much for circulation.</p><p><br>Then I walk through where nitric oxide actually comes from. Food nitrates in beets, arugula, and leafy greens meet the bacteria in a healthy mouth, turn into nitrite, and convert into nitric oxide with the help of stomach acid. That pathway explains two things people rarely connect: antiseptic mouthwash and acid-blocking drugs can quietly work against you. I also cover the amino-acid route, with L-arginine, L-citrulline, and L-taurine feeding nitric oxide synthase, the role of UVA sunlight on your skin, and why I always come back to the same rule: test, don&#39;t guess.</p><p>- - - - -</p><p><strong>Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC</strong></p><p><strong>Websites:</strong> <a href="https://drjackwolfson.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drjackwolfson.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><strong>;</strong> <a href="https://naturalheartdoctor.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://naturalheartdoctor.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><strong>LinkedIn:</strong> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjackwolfson" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjackwolfson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Ready to move past the confusion and fear of typical heart health approaches? </p><p>Visit <a href="https://naturalheartdoctor.com/discovery/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<strong>naturalheartdoctor.com/discovery</strong>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> to schedule your <strong>free discovery call</strong> and start your journey toward a 100-year heart with real, evidence-based answers.</p><p>- - - - -</p><p><strong>PODCAST</strong> </p><p>Thank you for listening. </p><p>Please subscribe and share. </p><p>This podcast is produced by DrTalks.com </p><p><a href="https://drtalks.com/podcast-service/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer
