so why would your systolic pressure be

higher than your diastolic well there’s

a condition for that called isolated

systolic hypertension normally the blood

pressure is 120 over 80

that top number is the systolic which is

the measurement of the contraction of

the heart and the diastolic which is the

relaxation phase so this condition is

defined as the top number systolic going

above 130 but sometimes you see it

actually really high like 160 or 180

this is the most common type of

hypertension over the age of 65 reported

by the Mayo Clinic the question is what

causes this well if you do Google

researches you’ll see that it could be

anemia hyperthyroid diabetes but you

won’t find high cortisol unless you dig

into other references like this book

right here

which is the simple collection of

medical illustrations volume 4 endocrine

system page 86 and this is under the

section of a condition where you have

high cortisol I’m going to read this to

you

cortisol may be responsible for the

moderate hypertension which is

characteristically more of the systolic

type first gradually becoming diastolic

now this information is very difficult

to find if you just do a general search

on high systolic blood pressure but if

you type in high cortisol and blood

pressure then you get a lot more

information but but you have to know the

link between the two before you even

knew to research it so what’s up with

this high cortisol well first of all it

causes significant sodium retention and

it also creates significant potassium

suppression anytime you suppress

potassium you can start getting a high

blood pressure just from that alone and

you can also affect the sympathetic

nervous system which is part of the

nervous system that controls this this

is sympathetic

this is parasympathetic that’s another

potential relationship there but also

high cortisol will cause suppression of

nitric oxide nitric oxide is a natural

thing that our cells produce as a

vasodilator

to relax the blood vessels to reduce

blood pressure yeah so cortisol

suppresses that now in addition to that

you can also consume certain foods that

are high in nitric oxide like beets

garlic meat and dark leafy green

vegetables so here are a few things you

can try start taking more vitamin D and

I’m talking about at least 20,000 I use

a vitamin D of course when you take that

much you also want to take 200

micrograms of vitamin k2 you always want

to take those together but here’s the

thing vitamin D is one of the most

magical things to reduce blood pressure

and the relationship between vitamin D

and high cortisol is this anytime you

see people with high core so you usually

always see them with a vitamin D

deficiency and when you actually take

vitamin D you can actually help to lower

cortisol so that is the relationship

there and I think the reason for that is

that vitamin D is not really a vitamin

it’s a hormone that acts like cortisol

in the body just to a certain extent it

gets rid of inflammation it’s really

helpful in autoimmune conditions but

it’s definitely helpful in hypertension

the other thing that I would recommend

is start taking potassium and start

consuming more leafy greens to get more

potassium and nitric oxide I think that

alone might greatly help you alright go
