Episode description
- About 1 in 5 adults with high blood pressure already has kidney damage, even if they feel completely fine
- High blood pressure silently destroys kidney function by narrowing blood vessels and trapping toxins in your body
- Older adults with high blood pressure are three times more likely to develop chronic kidney disease, yet most aren't screened early
- Cutting all salt is not the solution — what matters most is improving your sodium-to-potassium ratio by eating whole, unprocessed foods
- Simple daily habits like breathing exercises, vitamin D optimization, and short walks help lower blood pressure and protect your kidneys long term
