In this episode of Better Outside the Box Healthcare, Dr. Rock (Dr. Matthew Kettman, MD) tackles the “silent killer”. High blood pressure. You’ll learn what hypertension really is, why it’s so dangerous even when you feel fine, and how it can lead to serious health issues like heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and more.

The conversation covers the most common causes and risk factors for high blood pressure, including lifestyle habits, genetics, and even common mistakes people make when checking their numbers. Dr. Rock shares practical, proven strategies for lowering blood pressure naturally before turning to medication. He also explains when medication is necessary, what types are commonly prescribed, and how even small changes can dramatically reduce your risk.

Plus, Dr. Rock shares a bit about his life as a musician and invites you to check out his original music video, “The Burn.” Whether you’re managing high blood pressure or just want to stay healthy, this episode is packed with actionable advice and real-world insights to help you take control of your health.
