Integrative Co-Prescribing with Anti-Hypertensive Medications with Tracee Blythe

Wellness by Designs - Practitioner Podcast

Did you know that one in four Australians could be silently battling hypertension without even realizing it? In this compelling episode, we dive deep with experienced naturopath Tracee Blythe into the often-overlooked relationship between blood pressure, diabetes, and the transformative potential of integrative medicine approaches.

With nearly two decades of clinical expertise, Tracee unveils the concerning statistics behind Australia's hypertension crisis while offering fellow naturopaths a fresh perspective on co-prescribing strategies that bridge conventional and natural medicine. You'll discover how commonly prescribed anti-hypertensive medications can deplete essential nutrients in your patients—and how targeted natural interventions can effectively address these imbalances.

This episode delivers practice-changing insights on:

• Evidence-based natural interventions, including garlic and omega-3 supplements that rival pharmaceutical outcomes
• How to confidently integrate complementary approaches alongside conventional treatments
• Patient-centred strategies for home monitoring that dramatically improve clinical outcomes
• The critical nutritional considerations often missed in conventional treatment plans
• Practical frameworks for co-prescribing that enhance your clinical effectiveness

Whether you're supporting patients with established hypertension or focusing on preventative care, this conversation offers actionable protocols that expand your clinical toolkit. The scientific evidence is clear: lifestyle and nutritional interventions can produce results comparable to medications—knowledge that empowers your practice and transforms patient outcomes.
