Course Description

This is a self-led 8 week course designed to help adults lower their blood pressure. This course goes way beyond 'eat less salt and lose weight'. It will help you understand the many facets of food that can significantly lower your blood pressure whether or not you are on blood pressure lowering medication.

The 'textbook' for this course is Blood Pressure Down- The 10-Step Plan To Lower Your Blood Pressure In 4 Weeks Without Prescription Drugs, by Janet Bond Brill PhD,RD,LDN.

Each week reviews a unique lifestyle therapy. You will learn how to embrace each lifestyle change by reading, watching a video lecture, taking a review quiz, and best of all, watching 'how to' videos!

The 'how to' videos include cooking demonstrations featuring Chef Mark Ferrante and Registered Dietitian Georgia Boley. Whether it is soy, greens, beans, or chocolate, together we will show you how to prepare delicious blood-pressure lowering foods. All recipes will be provided!

To monitor your improved blood pressure progress through the course, a registered nurse will demonstrate how to take your blood pressure properly and accurately from home.

To further help lower your blood pressure, there are video demonstrations using biofeedback measuring devices and guided imagery with health coach Amy Steel.

Last but not least- this course includes basic deep breathing and yoga demonstrations presented by certified yoga instructors Michele Fritz and Evelyn Ferrante.

If you strongly desire to use food as your medicine instead of prescriptions, this is a course for you.

Don't like the need to buy a book. I bought a video course cause I prefer visual content rather than reading. If i wanted to read I would have bought a book... ;-(

By Stefanie Harbeson on 5/1/2022

The info is excellent! Very informative, and presented in an easy to understand format that also includes scientific backing. My only critique is that the music on the last few sections (breathing demo and wrap-up) detracted from the content—the music volume is louder than the speaker. Other than that one super minor detail, this course was perfect!

Georgia is very professional and very generous on her answers to questions what is super important for me I would definitively recommend this course for my friends that have BP issues Thanks a lot

I think that this course is great and very helpful with lots of information that one suffering from high blood pressure can put into practice and lower their pressure. At the moment I am using your information from the course with good results.

By Lilly Matthys-Good on 2/4/2017

I know everything that you have talked about. I wanted a higher level of information, which is what I thought the course would be based on the intro I watched. Too simple.
