You’re missing a couple biggies: vitamin D and vitamin K2
D binds the VDR (vitamin D receptor) and K2 binds the SXR (steroid xenobiotic receptor)
We are profoundly deficient in D, which builds up (if we EVER have enough, which almost no one does) in our fat and K2 must be consumed daily
They are both lipophilic or fat-loving
With enough D and K2 and some minerals such as Mg, also largely missing in the typical American diet, high blood pressure would be largely eliminated.
Only no one seems to know this. Maybe because there is no big money in it and because this is not a patentable solution.
Care to elaborate or that answer? does it affect it higher? to what degree etc?
okay……how do they impact blood pressure? Too much testosterone and pressure goes up? What is too much? If testosterone levels have fallen in the natural aging process does that lead to hypertension? At what level? Is there a hypertension value to using HRT to bring testosterone levels back up to a more ideal level?
Come on. Your answer is akin to when someone asks you if you have the time and all you answer is, “yes.”
The good doctor’s answers seem to get worse with time. Restoration of hormones, utilizing bioidentical hormones at appropriate dosages, are more likely to help normalize blood pressure over time than they are to exacerbate hypertension.
I’m taking Bicalutamide pills and Zoldex injections for prostate cancer…it would be nice to know how they affect my blood pressure since I’m also taking Lisinopril and Atenolol for blood pressure management.
I’d have to agree with the last two commenters the the essential question is still unanswered. We meed to be made more aware of what the effects on blood pressure specific hormones have on maled and females and how their responses may differ. male or female hormones have on men and women and how they differ in their responses. These questions are unanswered.
The Dr.’s answer is severely lacking in detail, to the point of making it essentially worthless. The purpose of this column is to inform and help people. This type of answer does neither. A sixth grader could have written an answer like this one, and quite frankly, if I had given an answer like this to an essay question when I was in high school it would have been met with a great big red “D” from the teacher.
Thank you Holdmah…….we agree completely!
My pressure is very high. been in the hosp 3times inone yr.. can’t get it under control.. Will an endocrinoligist, be able to find out if it is hormones or thyroid causing it..
I stopped taking HRT (livial) and my blood pressure went crazy, the doctors told me it was hereditary and old age, I am 60, they tried 3 different pills to get it under control, no results and the side effects of this pills were driving me crazy, I went to the ER once too. I went back to HRT and my blood pressure is in control now, no doubt the hormones have to do with it. Now do I have to worry for the side effects on the HRT?
