Your Blood Pressure Isn’t Broken — It’s Trying to Save You

This week we’re talking about how your body is brilliantly designed by God 🙌🏼 — and yes, that includes your blood pressure.

Let’s be clear upfront:
We’re talking about chronic high blood pressure, not the temporary spikes you might get from stress, anxiety, dehydration, caffeine, alcohol, pain, or a rough night’s sleep.
Those are normal, short-term responses your body uses to protect and adapt in the moment.
What we’re addressing here is long-term elevated blood pressure, the kind that gets you labeled “hypertensive” and put on meds, often for life. 💊

High Blood Pressure Isn’t the Problem — It’s the Response

Have you ever asked why your blood pressure is high? Is it really random or genetic? Or is your body doing exactly what it was designed to do? 🤔

Your organs need oxygen and nutrients to survive. If your arteries are narrowed or inflamed (thanks to a junk food lifestyle), your body raises pressure to keep blood flowing. That’s not dysfunction — that’s intelligence. 💡

Your body isn’t broken. It’s not attacking you.
It’s ADAPTING. 💪🏼

👩🏻‍⚕️“You’ll be on blood pressure meds forever…”

Ever heard that one? 🙄 Maybe you’ve even believed it. But let’s pause.
Has your doctor ever explained what’s actually causing your high blood pressure?

It’s probably not your age.
It’s probably not your genetics.
And there's no way I’d believe it’s just bad luck. ❌

So what’s causing it?

• Refined table salt (stripped of minerals)

• Seed oils (canola, soybean, corn)

• Processed sugar and flour

• Soda and ultra-processed foods

• Chronic stress, poor sleep

• Medications that strain organs

These are the real culprits.
When arteries are damaged, nitric oxide drops. Walls get stiff and sticky. Plaque clogs the flow. So the body raises pressure to save you, not harm you.

💊 What Blood Pressure Meds Really Do

Here’s the part no one wants to talk about:

Blood pressure meds lower the number, but they don’t fix the cause.

In fact:

• They can reduce blood flow to vital organs

• Make your heart work harder

• Increase the risk of heart failure 📈

And what makes this even worse is that these meds are often prescribed after one rushed, anxious office visit. That’s called “white coat hypertension,” and it’s real. 😟
Your blood pressure may read high in that moment, but one test shouldn’t equal a lifetime diagnosis.

Let’s use common sense.
One reading ≠ your entire health story.

🌱 Real People Are Healing Naturally

Yes, people have reversed high blood pressure through natural, biblical lifestyle changes.

No fads. No gimmicks. Just stewardship.

✅ Ditch table salt for mineral-rich sea salt
✅ Avoid seed oils — use coconut, olive oil, or tallow
✅ Cut processed sugar, flour, and anything not found in nature
✅ Eat real, whole foods from the earth 🍳🥩🥑
✅ Walk 1–2 hours daily outside 🚶‍♀️☀️
✅ Deep breathing + stress reduction
✅ 24-hour fasts once a week (with wisdom — consult someone knowledgeable first)
✅ Simplify meals (many people feel great eating only 1-2 meals/day)
✅ Drink water — no soda, nothing sparkling, no stimulants 💧

⚠️ A Necessary Warning

This isn’t medical advice. And if you’re on medication, obviously don’t quit cold turkey.
Instead, start healing your body, then talk with a practitioner who supports root-cause wellness. As your body strengthens, your need for medication may naturally disappear.

Fix the cause first.
Let the symptom fade.

💥 Final Word: Your Body Isn’t Broken

You are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14)
God didn’t mess up your blood pressure system.
He designed your body to survive, adapt, and heal.

Your blood pressure is a warning light, not a betrayal.

Honor the body God gave you.
Return to His design.
Healing is possible for you.

You are not your diagnosis — you’re a child of God who He wants to see thrive. Start living like it. 🕊️
