I spent 20 years in ICU and emergency medicine watching the same patients come back with the same blood pressure numbers despite being on three, four, five medications. The system was managing output. Nobody was fixing input.

That question led me out of the hospital and into naturopathic practice, where I developed the BP Triangle Method — a root-cause framework that maps blood pressure to three drivers: vascular tone, cortisol load, and blood sugar regulation. Most people have one corner that's loudest. Find it, fix the input, and the numbers move.

Today I teach this through BraveWorks RN (bpquiz.com) to an audience of 403,000+ across TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. My content reaches adults 45–75 who are tired of the pill-for-every-problem approach and want to understand what's actually driving their blood pressure.

I can speak to:

• Why blood pressure stays high despite medication (and what to look at instead)

• The three root-cause corners most doctors never check

• Plant-based protocols for the 60+ crowd that actually move the needle

• What 20 years in the ICU taught me about blood pressure that the system won't say

• Building a health education business from clinical expertise and social media

I bring clinical credibility with kitchen-table accessibility. Your audience will leave with something they can do today, not just information to file away.
