BP Coach Approach

Boehringer-Ingelheim has started a campaign for hypertension awareness.  They approached Don Shula and I and asked for our help getting this important message out, and we were glad to help.  Their mission is to alert people about the seriousness of hypertension and high blood pressure. 

I am one of 65 million Americans living with high blood pressure.  I’ve always been a high stress person. When I was managing, I didn’t try to hide it. Every gameday people could see my stress levels rise. After coming home worn out one too many times, I decided to talk to my doctor. After telling me I had hypertension, he explained that I had to change my diet, exercise more and take my medication daily. When it came to my hypertension, my doctor became my coach and he taught me how to stay in the game longer. I want all Americans with high blood pressure to talk to their doctors and find the best plan for them to get 24 hour blood pressure protection. 

It all starts with making sure you go get a checkup with your doctor.  I’m not a doctor, so I’m not here to talk about medicine, but you have to get a regular checkup.  What I'm here to talk about is high blood pressure and the importance of Americans talking to their doctors about this serious condition. Your doctor can be your coach to managing your condition and improving your health.

It is very important to get 24-hour protection against sudden rises and falls in your blood pressure.  To get more information about 24-hour protection, talk to your doctor, or visit www.bpcoachapproach.com.
