My Blood Pressure Hit 157/91 — Here’s Exactly How I Fixed It | Dr. Natasha Meadows
<p>Dr. Natasha Meadows (affectionately known as Dr. Tasha) is a board-certified internal medicine physician with more than 23 years of clinical practice and the author of Blood Pressure Peace — the number one new release in high blood pressure, heart disease, and heart health on Amazon.</p><p><br></p><p>After seeing her own blood pressure climb to 157/91, she used the same evidence-based principles she teaches her patients to bring it down to 116/68 and keep it there. That experience transformed how she practices medicine and inspired her mission to have the deeper conversations most doctors wish they had more time for — about prevention, lifestyle, healthy aging, and helping adults stop putting themselves last.</p><p><br></p><p>In this practical and eye-opening conversation, Dr. Natasha shares:</p><p>• How her grandmother’s stroke and her mother’s fear shaped her path</p><p>• The personal wake-up call when her own blood pressure rose</p><p>• The biggest misconceptions about high blood pressure</p><p>• Why “just lower salt” is incomplete advice (the potassium ratio matters)</p><p>• The multifactorial reality of blood pressure as we age</p><p>• How chronic stress quietly raises blood pressure</p><p>• Simple tools for the sandwich generation and anyone putting themselves last</p><p><br></p><p>If you’re in your 20s (or beyond) starting to think about long-term health, family history, or simply wanting practical prevention tools before problems start, this episode offers clear, doctor-backed wisdom.</p><p><br></p><p>Timestamps below ⬇️</p><p><br></p><p>#DrNatashaMeadows #BloodPressurePeace #HeartHealth #Prevention #ConversationsWithSekani</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Natasha Meadows </strong></p><p>Website:<a href="https://drtashahealth.com/">https://drtashahealth.com/</a> </p><p>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/natasha-meadows-08174a33/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/natasha-meadows-08174a33/</a> </p><p><br></p><p>If conversations with Sekani sparks something in you, do well to share to someone who you think might need this.
