High Blood Pressure

As we age, our bodies undergo numerous changes, and one of the most significant yet often overlooked is the increase in blood pressure. High blood pressure, or hypertension, occurs when the force of blood against your artery walls is consistently too high. This condition can strain your heart and lead to serious health issues, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.

How Does It Work?

What does root cause medicine involve for treating high blood pressure? Expand icon
Root cause medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying factors that contribute to high blood pressure, rather than solely treating the symptoms. This approach includes assessing lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, stress management, and sleep quality, as well as evaluating genetic factors and hormonal imbalances. By understanding and correcting these root causes, we aim to achieve sustainable blood pressure control and improve overall cardiovascular health.
How quickly can I expect to see results from root cause treatment for high blood pressure? Expand icon
The timeline for improvement can vary based on individual factors, including the severity of hypertension and adherence to recommended lifestyle changes. Many patients may begin to notice positive changes within a few weeks to a few months, such as lower blood pressure readings and improved energy levels. However, achieving lasting results often requires ongoing commitment and regular follow-up to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
Can root cause medicine eliminate the need for high blood pressure medication? Expand icon
Root cause medicine aims to reduce or eliminate the need for medication by addressing underlying issues. Many people successfully lower their blood pressure enough to decrease their medication dosage or stop taking it altogether.

Patient Testimonials

“Best doctors ever! If you are looking for solutions to health problems or interested in preventative measures. This is the place to go. Dr. Torres and his staff are THE best. They are caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and attentive. Try them out you won’t be disappointed!”

“Although I am a new patient of the Institute for Functional Health, I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to seek them out and chose them to help attain my goal to be in the best optimal health possible at the age of 55. After some lab work and consultation, they had a plan for me to start this journey and explained how we would tackle this process. Eric Salinas was extremely knowledgeable as was the rest of the team led by Dr. Torres. I am excited to get started and see results knowing that Eric Salinas is there to back me up with any questions I may have during this journey.”

“I feel like I get much better care at the Institute for Functional Health than from my regular doctors. Much better. Dr.Salinas seems to actually care about me and my health. He is very knowledgeable and welcomes emails with my questions. He set me up with a personal contact with one of the trainers when I had difficulty with some of the exercises on the app. I am regaining my health day by day.”

“Dr. Torres has worked hard to help me reach my health goals. Only one major one left, but resounding success with all the rest. He listens and has good insight in how to get our bodies to respond.”
