Doctor & Dietitian: Are You Being Diagnosed OR Labeled?
In episode 18 of The Get Better, Not Older Show, Dr. Rob Jones and RD Shannon Jones discuss the critical difference between being diagnosed and labeled in healthcare.

High Blood Pressure: Hidden Causes & Practical Steps To Avoid It
In this episode, Dr. Rob Jones and Shannon Jones, RD, reveal two overlooked causes of high blood pressure: low nitric oxide and high uric acid. Instead of relying on medication that only lowers blood pressure slightly, they explain how to fix the root causes with simple, natural changes.Low nitric oxide is a major factor in hypertension because it helps blood vessels relax. When nitric oxide levels are too low, arteries stay constricted, increasing blood pressure. Several common habits destroy nitric oxide production. Mouthwash kills the good oral bacteria needed for nitric oxide release. Fluoride toothpaste disrupts...
