🩸 HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE CAN DAMAGE THE ARTERIES THAT KEEP YOU WALKING. 👟

September is Peripheral Artery Disease Awareness Month — and there’s an important connection you should know.

Over time, high blood pressure can damage your arteries, increasing your risk for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) a condition that reduces blood flow to your legs and feet.

And when your legs and feet don’t get the blood flow they need, wounds may not heal, tissue can become damaged, and in severe cases, a limb can be at risk.

That’s why Dr. Gary P. Jones created KEEP LOUISIANA WALKING to raise awareness, encourage early detection and treatment, and help prevent avoidable amputations.

❤️ Protecting your arteries starts with knowing and managing your risk factors.

If high blood pressure is one of yours, Louisiana LifeLink can help by remotely monitoring your blood pressure and keeping those readings connected to your healthcare team between office visits.

Stay connected. Protect your arteries. Keep Louisiana Walking. 👟

🥗 CAN WHAT’S ON YOUR PLATE HELP LOWER YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE?

This morning on ON POINT TALK, Dr. Gary Jones joined Carlette Christmas to talk about the DASH Diet — and how everyday food choices can make a real difference in managing high blood pressure. ❤️

And we’re not just talking salads- this can include APPLE PIE! 🥧

But making changes is only half the story.

DASH helps you make the changes.
Louisiana LifeLink helps us TRACK the changes.

With LACVT’s Remote Patient Monitoring program, your healthcare team can follow your blood pressure between office visits.

🩺 High blood pressure? Don’t just HOPE it’s getting better. KNOW your numbers.

🚨 WE NEED THE INTERNET TO SETTLE THIS. 🚨

Apparently there is more than ONE way to ask a patient…

🩺 “Did you check your blood pressure?”

Jason, our Nurse Practitioner, was given four emotions:

😡 MAD
😁 HAPPY
😏 FLIRTY
🥺 CONCERNED

And y’all…

Nobody was prepared for FLIRTY JASON.😭😂

There was a voice.

There was a look.

THERE WAS PURRING. 🐱💀

We have questions.

👇 WATCH THE VIDEO AND REPORT TO THE COMMENTS IMMEDIATELY.

Which Jason are you answering?

😡 MAD JASON
😁 HAPPY JASON
😏 FLIRTY JASON
🥺 CONCERNED JASON

And believe it or not, there IS an actual reason Jason wants to know if you checked your blood pressure. 😂

❤️ Louisiana LifeLink is our Remote Patient Monitoring program at Louisiana Cardiovascular & Thoracic Institute—helping eligible patients monitor their blood pressure from home while our healthcare team keeps an eye on their readings between office visits.

So yes…

Jason really DOES want you to check your blood pressure.

We just can't promise which version of Jason you're going to get. 😏🐱😂

NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT BUSINESS:

We need a FIFTH emotion.

👇 DROP IT IN THE COMMENTS.

Make it ridiculous.

Make it uncomfortable.

Make Jason regret agreeing to this video. 💀

If we find one good enough…

🎥 WE’RE MAKING HIM DO ROUND TWO.

And TAG somebody who needs Jason to ask them:

“Did you check your blood pressure?” 👀

P.S. Jason…

we're still going to need an explanation for the purring. 🐱😂

❤️ SUPPORT HEALTHY BLOOD PRESSURE—NATURALLY

Nutrition can play an important role in supporting healthy blood pressure alongside your prescribed treatment plan.

Magnesium helps support normal blood vessel, muscle, nerve and heart function, while nitric oxide helps blood vessels relax and widen to support healthy circulation.

Food should always be the foundation. But for some patients, a magnesium and/or nitric-oxide-supporting supplement may also be appropriate.

Not every supplement is created equal. The right choice can depend on your medications, kidney function, blood pressure and individual needs. ( this does not replace your current medication)

Need help choosing?
Visit Dr. Gary Jones's Fullscript dispensary for professional-grade supplements or give a call for guidance.
