Blood Pressure: Signal of Metabolic Dysfunction | Episode 38

In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we reveal the often-overlooked connection between high blood pressure and insulin resistance. While hypertension is typically treated as a standalone condition, research shows that 50-75% of people with primary hypertension also have insulin resistance—even without diabetes.

Learn how insulin affects more than just blood sugar, playing critical roles in sodium retention, blood vessel constriction, and inflammation—creating a “triple whammy” that drives blood pressure up. Discover why early metabolic dysfunction often shows up first as hypertension, and how this may be a vital warning sign of deeper issues.

🎧 Tune in to find out how improving insulin sensitivity through diet, movement, stress management, and proper testing can help naturally lower blood pressure and restore metabolic balance.
