Understanding Root Causes of High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure isn’t just about salt intake – it often signals deeper imbalances. At Sayana Medical, we investigate multiple factors that can affect blood pressure:

  • Inflammation and oxidative stress
  • Blood vessel elasticity and function
  • Hormone and mineral balance
  • Gut health and microbiome
  • Sleep quality and stress response
  • Environmental toxin exposure

Beyond Medication

While medications can help manage blood pressure, our functional medicine approach seeks to identify and address the underlying factors that cause hypertension, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for long-term medication.

Our Comprehensive Approach

Our multi-faceted treatment approach includes:

  • Advanced cardiovascular testing
  • Personalized nutrition protocols
  • Stress management techniques
  • Sleep optimization
  • Exercise programming
  • Lifestyle modifications
