The Ultimate Guide to Understanding Your Blood Pressure

The official guidelines from the US and Europe disagree on the very definition of hypertension, leaving millions of people confused and asking a simple question: "What is right for me?"

This is not another generic guide about "eating less salt." This is a definitive, "under the hood" look at your cardiovascular system, written by a cardiovascular physiologist with 20+ years of R&D experience. I cut through the clickbait, deconstruct the studies (like the famous SPRINT trial), and translate the complex science of hemodynamics into actionable, evidence-based insights.

My mission is to be the second opinion that should have been your first, empowering you to move from being a passive patient to an informed, confident partner in your own health.

In this 48-page guide, you will learn:

• Why Your Arm is Lying to Your Heart: The surprising difference between the pressure on the cuff and the true pressure on your vital organs.
• The Three "Levers" of Blood Pressure: Understand the real drivers—Flow, Resistance, and Compliance—and how your body (and medication) controls them.
• The "Goalpost War": A clear, side-by-side comparison of the conflicting US (AHA) and European (ESC) guidelines, so you can understand the debate.
• The Real Story Behind the Evidence: A critical look at the statistics (NNT vs. ARR) to understand the true odds that a medication will help you.
• The Path to Personalization: A framework for using lifestyle, self-monitoring (N-of-1), and even AI to find what actually works for your body.
