Hi Bernadette,

Hi B,
Thanks so much for the info.
I just thought about it, as I am writing this response to you, since I was about 32 years whenever I checked my cholesterol it’s always been high and my B/P is was always been normal 90/60, 100/70 and so on. I remember clearly the first time I felt the pain behind my neck area so I as a colleague to take my B/P and it was 130/100. That was scary for me. My B/P was never elevated. I also remember I had just started menopause.
Ever since then I noticed my B/P been normal or abnormal at times.
I will watch the videos and check into the device.Thanks again

Hey ,
What you can do in the meanwhile might depend on the root cause. Do you know your current blood pressure? If it is on the low side without changing the dose of your medication, you could discuss lowering the medication with your GP.
Magnesium is not in your supplement stack might help you to lower blood pressure as well. A magnesium deficiency can also contribute to higher blood pressure levels.
Making sure you have enough nutrients to support thyroid function can be something you could focus on as well. The library has a great document for that right here.
Assessing stress levels can also be a game changer. Think big on this topic! Work pressure, and emotional stress from relationships, friends or families are only part of that. Think also about other stuff like loneliness (yes, also if you are in a relationship!), spiritual fulfilment, resentment, sadness, setting the bar high for yourself (or others), shame, blame… all these things are examples you could consider.
If insulin resistance is at play, lowering blood sugar can help. Smoothies can be a great source of nutrients, however, they can be a source of fast digestible sugars. Feeling fatigued after drinking a smoothy can be a sign that your body doesn’t deal well with the amount of sugar in them.
The tingling sensation in your fingers can be caused by slow thyroid, insulin resistance and anemia. The low hemoglobin is an anemia usually caused by an iron deficiency. But a B12, folate and B6 deficiency can also cause another type of anemia.
If you consume enough iron, you might want to try the hydrochloric acid dosage challenge. I have attached the protocol below. Stomach acid is needed for iron absorption, but it heavily influences the amount of B12 absorption as well.[Hydrochloric acid supplement recommended dosage challenge (1).pdf]
