Lower blood pressure naturally with brain-based training

I have been working with a 92-year old client for the past five months.  While he is one of the healthiest seniors I've met, his blood pressure on the right side has been notably high this past week.   First of all, if your doctor isn't taking your blood pressure on both sides, FIRE HIM/HER IMMEDIATELY.  Second of all, if your personal trainer doesn't know holistic ways to lower blood pressure, fire him/her immediately.

As a Z-Health Brain Practitioner, I've studied the brainstem which controls autonomic processes such as blood pressure.  As a certified and practicing Z-Health Practitioner, I implement drills that activate the brainstem, resulting in lowered blood pressure, without medication.   In this client's case, I active right cortex to lower right blood pressure. 

Today's measurements are a perfect example.   

Starting blood pressure measurements:

Right:  138/89.  Considered high by medical professionals.

Left:   128/78. Considered borderline high by medical professionals. 

Ending:  After one hour of brain-based training, blood pressure measurements: his numbers were perfect!

Right:  111/74.  Within normal limits, perfect without medication

Left:    114/70.   Within normal limits, perfect without medication.  

As you can see, there is quite a difference between the right and left side at the beginning of the session.  If my client went to his doctor, and they took his blood pressure on the right side, he would be diagnosed as hypertensive and been prescribed high blood pressure medication.

IF they measured his left side, he would be borderline and perhaps given blood pressure medication.  Either way, this man does NOT need to be on blood pressure medication; he needs to be active!

Without any medication, this older guy, over age 90, lowered his blood pressure through brain-based exercises.  I activated his right cortex to lower right side autonomics.  But since he leans right, I also focus on left frontal lobe activation drills.  

Today was a perfect combination of vision, vestibular and proprioceptive drills to activate both the right and left cortex which results in lower autonomic measurements like blood pressure.  The take-home message is ditch your medications and start moving with a trainer who activates the muscles and senses of the brain for better output.  

Brain-based training is the future of fitness.   I am educated and trained to active the muscles and senses involved in balance and optimized performance.  Move better.  See better. Balance better.  

It's real. 

7th Annual Citrus Heights Senior Health Fair

Each year for the past seven years, the folks at the Sunrise Parks and Recreation District have hosted the annual Citrus Heights Senior Health Fair.  Each year the program gets better.  This year, the event is on Thurday May 15 from 9am-1pm.  Vendors will be there and there will be educational workshops and senior fitness assessments.  All of this is free to the public!

I will be presenting my dynamic, educational Fall Prevention 101 workshop from 10a-11a.  No registration is required; just show up ready to learn!  I will discuss aging, balance and how to reduce the risk of an accidental fall.  You will feel empowered to take control of how you're aging after attending this workshop.

I will also be offering Senior Fitness Tests to measure functional fitness components associated with fall risk. I will measure your lower body strength, lower body flexibility and dynamic or moving balance.  You will need to sign up to reserve your spot for an assessment.  I will be doing these senior fitness tests from 11:30a-12:30p. 

For those who may be interested, I may offer a quick balance assessment using the short-form Fullerton Advanced Balance scale.  This is a 4-item test that gives me a quick assessment of the sensory systems involved in balance.   I'll do those from 12:30-1pm.

1 in 3 people over 65 and 1 out of 2 people over 80 falls each year.  That's an estimate.  I think it's an underestimate.  It's also estimated that over half of all falls can be prevented through education, exercise and early detection.  Get involved in your wellness!  Come learn what may be causing you to fall.  Learn evidence-based exercises that have been demonstrated to improve balance! 

Come to the 7th Annual Citrus Heights Senior Health Fair!
