How to Reverse Hypertension — What Actually Works (Doctor Explains)

If you have been told that high blood pressure is just a "plumbing problem" caused by too much fluid and salt, you have been lied to. In this video, Dr. Jessica Reynolds reveals why diuretics and ACE inhibitors are often just "band-aids" that fail to fix the root cause: Structural Arterial Damage. We break down the microscopic protective layer inside your arteries that most doctors ignore and the specific protocol to repair it. PLUS: Dr. Jessica Reynolds reveals the "Insulin-Kidney Lock"—the biological mechanism that forces your body to hoard sodium even when you are on a low-salt diet. In this video, you will discover: The "Teflon" Layer: What the Glycocalyx is, why high blood sugar strips it away, and how to rebuild it with seaweed and polyphenols. The Calcification Cure: Why calcium deposits in your arteries make them rigid and how Vitamin K2 acts as a "traffic cop" to move calcium back into your bones. The "Shear Stress" Secret: How specific isometric handgrip exercises stimulate your endothelium to release Nitric Oxide naturally. The Insulin Reset: Why 16:8 time-restricted eating is the only way to unlock your kidneys and flush out excess sodium.

Scientific References & Research The following peer-reviewed journals and studies support the findings regarding endothelial health, arterial stiffness, and insulin resistance discussed in this video: 1. The Glycocalyx & Hypertension Journal: Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology Study: The endothelial glycocalyx: a potential barrier between health and vascular disease Key Finding: Damage to the endothelial glycocalyx reduces nitric oxide bioavailability and promotes vascular inflammation, a precursor to hypertension and atherosclerosis. 2. Vitamin K2 & Arterial Calcification Journal: Thrombosis and Haemostasis Study: Proper Calcium Use: Vitamin K2 as a Promoter of Bone and Cardiovascular Health Key Finding: Vitamin K2 activates Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), which inhibits vascular calcification, thereby reducing arterial stiffness and pulse pressure. 3. Isometric Handgrip Training Journal: Journal of Hypertension Study: Isometric handgrip as a tool for blood pressure management: a meta-analysis Key Finding: Isometric handgrip training significantly lowers resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure, likely due to improved endothelial function and modulation of the autonomic nervous system. 4. Insulin & Sodium Retention Journal: Diabetologia Study: Insulin's impact on renal sodium transport and blood pressure in health and disease Key Finding: Hyperinsulinemia directly stimulates sodium reabsorption in the kidney tubules, leading to volume expansion and hypertension independent of salt intake.Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @elderscompanion10
