590. Blood Pressure Lies You've Been Told-And the Thyroid Link No One Mentions

Why does blood pressure become such a problem for so many of us (especially during perimenopause and menopause) and what if the entire medical system has been looking at it backwards? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mark Young to unravel the truth about hypertension, why it’s rarely the root issue, and how it’s actually a downstream signal from deeper, fixable problems in the body. We dive into the misconceptions that keep people stuck on lifelong medications, what’s truly happening inside your arteries, and why estrogen loss hits women’s cardiovascular health harder than almost anything else. I also explore an unexpected (and shockingly simple) biohack that’s been quietly transforming blood pressure for years without pills, supplements, or side effects—and yes, the story of how it changed my dad’s health is wild. If you've ever wondered whether your blood pressure “diagnosis” is actually your body asking for help upstream, this conversation will absolutely change the way you think.
