This session is designed for doctors\ , nutritionists\, and healthcare professionals who want to go beyond sympt omatic blood pressure control and uncover root causes such as insulin resi stance\, inflammation\, stress physiology\, vascular dysfunction\, and nut rient imbalances—so they can manage hypertension more effectively and de liver long-term\, root-cause-driven outcomes. 🎤 Speaker: Dr.Anish Musa MBBS\,MS\,IFMCP Understanding Hypertension: Beyond Just Blood Pressure Hyp ertension is not just a cardiovascular condition — it is a complex metab olic\, inflammatory\, and vascular dysfunction that reflects deeper imbala nces in the body\, including insulin regulation\, stress physiology\, endo thelial health\, kidney function\, and hormonal balance. Modern lifestyle factors — including processed diets\, high sodium–low potassium intake \, chronic stress\, poor sleep\, sedentary behavior\, gut imbalances\, and micronutrient deficiencies — disrupt vascular tone and metabolic functi on\, leading to persistently elevated blood pressure. Hypertension often d evelops silently over years and may present with: • Headaches or heavine ss in the head • Fatigue and low energy • Dizziness or palpitations • Poor sleep quality • Weight gain or metabolic dysfunction • Increa sed cardiovascular risk In the Functional Medicine approach\, we look beyo nd blood pressure readings and medications to uncover the root causes driv ing hypertension. Key areas include: ✅ Insulin resistance & metabolic dy sfunction — Elevated insulin and poor glucose control contribute to vasc ular stiffness and increased BP ✅ Endothelial dysfunction — Impaired n itric oxide production affects vascular relaxation and blood flow ✅ Chro nic inflammation — Low-grade inflammation damages [...] DTSTAMP:20260604T021108Z LOCATION:Online on Zoom SUMMARY:Functional Medicine Approach to Hypertension END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
