What is hypertension management?

Hypertension describes persistent high blood pressure levels. When the force of your blood against your arteries remains high for too long, it can cause permanent vessel damage and increase your risk for heart disease and other cardiovascular disorders.

The DNA Diet Club offers hypertension management services to lower your blood pressure levels and keep them healthy. The providers use results from DNA genetic testing and gut biome testing to identify what may be contributing to your high blood pressure levels.

How is DNA and gut biome testing used in hypertension management?

Your gut biome contains trillions of microorganisms that support your digestion and overall health. These microorganisms include bacteria, parasites, fungi, and viruses which live in your gut, intestines, and other parts of your body.

Having too much or too little of certain microorganisms can increase your risk for chronic pain and disease. Gut imbalances contribute to hypertension because the foods you eat can disrupt the balance of the biome, which can increase your blood pressure.

The DNA Diet Club providers offer gut biome testing to evaluate your gut function. They also provide genetic testing to assess your DNA, which influences the makeup of your gut biome.

The providers customize a diet plan program to restore balance in the microorganisms levels in your gut.

What is included in the hypertension management services?

  • 1 DNA test kit
  • 1 gut biome test kit
  • 1 45-minute medical consultation
