About this listen
Are you tired of living with high blood pressure and feeling like it has taken over your life? It's time to take control, and fix the problem, once and for all.
Living with high blood pressure is a daunting task. It feels like you're always walking a tightrope, constantly worrying about the risks of complications and struggling to find the right medications and lifestyle changes that work for you.
If you feel like your condition is limiting your ability to enjoy the things you love—leaving you feeling frustrated, trapped, and uncertain about the future—you are not alone.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of adults in the United States, or 116 million, have hypertension. Of that figure, only about one in four adults have their condition under control.
Why is this alarming? Because in addition to being known as a silent killer, hypertension is also a silent thief that steals away your peace of mind, leaving you wondering if you will still be able to live a “normal life.”
But there is hope.
With the right tools, knowledge, and support, you can take control of your blood pressure and live the life you deserve.
That's where this book comes in.
Written by a trusted pharmacist, this book offers a unique perspective on hypertension management. You can trust that the information provided is reliable and evidence-based, yet it is presented in a way that is accessible and easy to understand.
Here’s a fraction of what you’ll discover:
- The different types of medications that can manage your hypertension…and how they might interact with foods, supplements, or other drugs you're taking
- The heart of the matter when it comes to the causes of hypertension—find out what specific factors might be putting you at risk so you can avoid them
- Why it's important for pregnant women or women in their 40s to be on alert for high blood pressure (plus tips to stay healthy)
- The underlying medical conditions that can cause your blood pressure to spike…so you can find the right approach to manage your health better
- Easy-to-apply diet modifications and additions—eat healthy for a happy heart
- 10 questions you need to ask your healthcare provider (when it comes to blood pressure medications, it’s really better to be safe than sorry)
- How to conquer your fitness fears—feel confident as you move toward a healthier heart and a happier you!
- How to effectively monitor your blood pressure at home…so you can keep track of your progress and create a personalized treatment plan with your healthcare provider
- 15 tips to improve your sleep… plus proven strategies to literally reduce pressure
- What you need to do before going all out dietary supplements—and the vitamin you should avoid at all costs if you're taking blood thinners
- And much more.
Hypertension is sneaky…it creeps up on millions of people worldwide, with many being unaware of its presence until it's too late. Its effects can be devastating, leading to a domino effect of health complications.
Say goodbye to the fear of complications, the frustration of finding the right medications, and the uncertainty of not knowing where to turn for help.

Life saver!
High blood pressure can be a silent danger, and as I've personally experienced, it's crucial to be proactive in understanding and managing it. Chapter 2, "What Puts You at Risk for High Blood Pressure?" hit home for me. It discusses various risk factors, and it was an eye-opener to recognize that some of these applied to my lifestyle. It prompted me to make immediate changes in my daily routines, from reducing salt intake to engaging in regular physical activity. Sullivan's explanations are simple and easy to follow, making them accessible for anyone, even if you're not well-versed in medical jargon. Pam Hurley's narration of this book was excellent,
