#17 - Blood Pressure, Body Fat, and Sodium

Feb 15, 2022

I'm going to explain the interaction between blood pressure, body fat, and sodium by explaining the all important RAAS (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system). Understanding this system can help you optimize blood pressure, heart, and overall vascular health. We'll discuss the following:

• Understanding how RAAS works
• How body fat interacts with RAAS
• Why sodium is not the root cause of high blood pressure
• The connection between insulin resistance and RAAS
• Lifestyle measures to effectively reduce blood pressure
