  • Bringing Down the Numbers – The Herbal/Nutritional Treatment of Hypercholesterolemia and Hypertension

Speaker: David Winston, RH (AHG) Heart diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in the industrialized world and two major risk factors for myocardial infarctions and stroke are hypertension and unhealthy blood lipids.  The rise in blood pressure and LDL/VLDL cholesterol are treated primarily with medication in the US.  While medication can “bring down the numbers”, it doesn’t always effectively deal with the underlying causes (obesity, metabolic syndrome, lack of exercise, poor diet, chronic stress, smoking, etc). In this class, we discuss herbal/nutritional/dietary interventions that not only help improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels but also help inhibit elevated blood sugar, inflammation, insulin resistance, stress, nutrient deficiencies and sleep issues that promote cardiovascular and other chronic degenerative diseases.
