                                    <description><![CDATA[When treating high blood pressure, how low should you aim? Is a systolic blood pressure below 120 really better than 130, especially as you get older?
 
In Episode 21 of Beyond Conventional Medical Thinking, Dr. Samuel Mann examines current hypertension treatment guidelines and the research behind recommended blood pressure targets. While guidelines often encourage aggressive blood pressure control, Dr. Mann questions whether the modest benefits of lower targets outweigh the potential risks of additional medication.
 
Drawing on major clinical trials, including the SPRINT and ACCORD studies, Dr. Mann discusses how age, medication side effects, and differences in blood pressure measurement can influence treatment decisions. He also explains why blood pressure readings taken at home may provide a more accurate picture than those taken during a doctor's appointment.

<p>Although Dr. Samuel Mann is a hypertension specialist rather than a psychiatrist, decades of treating patients with high blood pressure have shown him that anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other conditions frequently overlap with cardiovascular health.</p>
<p>Welcome to Beyond Conventional Medical Thinking, a podcast with Dr. Samuel Mann, a physician, researcher, and author. </p>
<p>His latest book, Hidden Within Us offers a pioneering new understanding of the relationship between emotions and health, one rarely considered by physicians, patients, and research psychologists. </p>

<p>In this episode, Dr. Mann explains why he sometimes recommends an unexpected treatment that isn't commonly discussed in standard anxiety guidelines. He discusses the science behind adrenaline, why certain beta blockers may help reduce physical symptoms of anxiety, which ones he prefers (and avoids), and why this approach can produce results much sooner than many traditional anxiety medications.</p>
<p>If you've struggled with chronic anxiety despite conventional treatment, this episode offers a perspective you may not have heard before.</p>

<p>Welcome to my podcast, Beyond Conventional Medicine. 
Please subscribe to my channel so you don't miss an episode.

My latest book, Hidden Within Us: A Radical New Understanding of the Mind-Body Connection offers a pioneering understanding of the relationship between emotions and health, one rarely considered by physicians, patients, and research psychologists.
 
Nearly all mind-body research and publications focus on the emotional distress we consciously experience, with limited results in terms of understanding and treating medical illnesses. Hidden Within Us brings attention instead to the burden of emotions kept from our conscious awareness by repression.

Conventional Medical Thinking. In this podcast, I will present treatment strategies that very few doctors and patients are aware of and that are relevant to many common yet often inadequately treated medical conditions, hypertension, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine, ADHD, and others. I've learned these strategies from decades of clinical experience at Wow Cornell Medical College. These strategies are safe, they make sense medically and physiologically, and yet they're almost completely overlooked in medical practice and in medical literature. To learn more, I invite you to subscribe to my new podcast series. Thanks.</p>
