Comprehensive lifestyle modification and blood pressure control

Lifestyle recommendations for the prevention and treatment of hypertension include weight loss, reduced sodium intake, increased physical activity, limited alcohol intake, and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet. The 18-month results of the Prospective Registry Evaluating Myocardial Infarction: Events and Recovery (PREMIER) randomized clinical trial showed that individuals with prehypertension and stage 1 hypertension can make and sustain many of these lifestyle changes over the long term, thereby reducing their risk of cardiovascular disease.

McLarson MD

McLarson, MD is a physician-scientist, having both an MD and PhD. He is as practical as a physician, but enjoys theorizing and number-crunching as a scientist. As a pre-med undergrad, he was awarded the Dr. Pepper Murray scholarship (yes, he actually met a live Dr. Pepper) that required he take a few business-oriented courses, which opened up a whole new world to the previously narrow-minded science nerd. Outside of work and family life, he enjoys discussing and learning more about human potential, personal finance, health economics, and musing about ways to keep money away from insurance companies, bankers, lawyers, politicians, and inefficiencies in American healthcare.
