This informative book explains how blood-pressure works, why a person might have high blood pressure, and explains how to reduce it with diet, exercise, and sometimes medication. Book also covers nutritional supplements that can be of help.

I may be one of the few, however following Stephens' advice and losing 70 lbs during this pandemic I am using D-ribose, L Carnitine Qunol and added ash wa ganda myself to the mix and am completely off ALL blood Preasure meds!

I really liked the first half of this book - it is written by a doctor and I learned a lot from this book - particularly about insulin resistance, which I knew next to nothing about before reading this book. The second half was only so-so (as with many books like this) - but I am glad I read this book and it was an easy read. The things I didn't like was he recommends a lot of supplementation for his 8 week plan, where I prefer to eat towards health, rather then take pills towards health. Also uses a lot of soy and the meal plans in the back were basically miserable - that alone would talk me out of using his plan.
