Bonus Episode: Treating High Blood Pressure at the UltraWellness Center

This special bonus episode features Dr. Cindy Geyer from the UltraWellness Center, diving into how functional medicine approaches high blood pressure — and why treating the root cause means looking far beyond salt and stress.

In this conversation, Dr. Geyer walks through the case of a woman with longstanding “white coat” hypertension, family history of cognitive decline, and no clear answers from conventional care. By investigating deeper factors like sleep quality, metabolic health, stress hormones, genetics, and gut function, Dr. Geyer shows how a systems-based approach can improve blood pressure, energy, and long-term brain health — often without medication.

You’ll learn:
• Why blood pressure medications don’t address the real problem
• How stress, sleep apnea, and insulin resistance all contribute to hypertension
• Why women are often misdiagnosed or overlooked when it comes to vascular risk
• How gut health and food sensitivities can directly affect blood pressure
• What functional medicine labs reveal that standard workups miss

This is part of a limited bonus series spotlighting the work of the UltraWellness Center team, with new episodes dropping monthly on select Fridays.
