Hormones and Blood Pressure: A Simple Triangle for Understanding Your Numbers , with Joel Polley

Most of us only think about our hormones or blood pressure when a number on a chart goes wrong. If you have ever felt confused or anxious about your numbers, this conversation on hormone balance and blood pressure is for you.

Joel Polley shares his Blood Pressure Triangle, three areas to look at when your body feels out of balance, plus small daily habits and a way to keep going when progress slows.

About the GuestJoel Polley is a nurse and naturopath who focuses on the causes behind chronic health concerns. He created the Blood Pressure Triangle and a free online quiz.

Key Takeaways

-

The triangle has three corners: stress and cortisol, lifestyle habits, and blood sugar.

-

Treat any single number as a snapshot, not the whole story.

-

Start small: water, a 10-minute walk, enough sleep and screens off before bed.

-

Ask what might be behind a number, and bring those questions to your own clinician.

-

Focus on daily inputs, not outputs, and choose changes you can sustain.
