Take control of your high blood pressure and your health

Are you living with high blood pressure?

Maybe you’re:

  • Worried that your blood pressure is creeping up and you’re facing higher cardiovascular risk.

  • Tired of relying on medications (or the side-effects) without getting to the root cause.

  • Frustrated by diets, workouts or “quick fixes” that haven’t moved the needle.

  • Ready for a clear, evidence-based path to meaningful change.

You’re not alone! And you do have a better option. At the Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute (RLMI), we believe in treating high blood pressure as a modifiable lifestyle condition, not just a number to “manage”.

Why high blood pressure matters

Outline of a heart with a heartbeat line inside, and a warning triangle with an exclamation mark in front of the heart.

High blood pressure (aka hypertension) silently increases stress on your heart, arteries and organs, leading to an elevated risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease and more. Traditional approaches often rely on medications alone and may not address the underlying diet, lifestyle or metabolic drivers.

But what if you could not only lower you blood pressure numbers, but go beyond that and actuall restore your health, energy and resilience?

Our simple, science-backed solution:

A very-low-fat, whole-food plant-based diet (WFPB), without calorie-counting, or portion control!

Research shows that adopting a WFPB diet can significantly reduce blood pressure in just weeks. Our 15-Day Jumpstart program is designed for people just like you who want real results — and fast.

Did you know…

  • A plant-forward diet can naturally help lower blood pressure.

  • Nitrate-rich food such as dark leafy greens can actually help relax blood vessels.
