Your Doctor Never Asked WHY Your Blood Pressure Is High

Did you know there are over 300 reasons your blood pressure could be high? And most doctors never look for a single one? Dr. Saunders breaks down why "essential hypertension" is a diagnosis that means nobody looked hard enough, and what's really driving your numbers up.

Plus, Dr. Saunders answers viewer questions on a variety of health topics including blood sugar, fasting, insulin resistance, and more.

In this episode, Dr. Saunders covers:

• Why blood pressure is supposed to go up and down — and why that's healthy
• The real reason high blood pressure medications can damage your kidneys and brain
• How insulin resistance silently drives blood pressure higher
• Why fasting normalized blood pressure in 100% of study participants
• What nitric oxide does and why you may not be making enough
• The dawn effect — why blood sugar rises overnight even when you don't eat
• When blood pressure medication IS the right call
