Take Control of Your
Blood Pressure Management
I imagine you’re here because you’ve got high blood pressure and you are either on or considering treatment options? But you want to know what your options really are - what do medications really do (and which is best!) and whether lifestyle changes really can work. Maybe you know someone who’s had a heart attack or stroke and seen how devastating this can be - you want to do what you can to stop this happening to you!
You want to make truly informed decisions.
You’ve read the information leaflets and want to know more but your doctor simply doesn’t have the time to let you fully understand your options.
Introducing…
Second Opinion: Hypertension
In this course I, Dr Matthew Roycroft, a dual certified consultant physician in the NHS, will give you the knowledge so you can be your own second opinion! I’ll expose the information normally reserved for healthcare professionals! So instead of being told “you must go on treatment” you’ll understand how the risk changes as blood pressure changes and just how well (or not) different options for managing blood pressure work.
You’ll come away able to say “I want to treat my high blood pressure at this point and in this way”
The truth is there isn’t a red line that blood pressure suddenly crosses, it’s not like 139 or 140 are magically different, so I’m not just going to give you a simple overview like you’ve probably seen from loads of other websites, you’ll come away actually understanding WHY things happen so that you can take control back and be empowered to make your own decisions about your treatment decisions.
When you enrol you’ll get instant lifetime access to an 11 module online course where we’ll explore diagnosis, monitoring, stages of hypertension, causes and consequences before moving on to assess your personalised risk and how that can be modified in different ways. As well as getting a great understanding of initial drug options you’ll also learn about non-medication options and how these can be combined together and the evidence behind all of this!
You’ll come away feeling more confident in the decisions you make about your health - 100% guaranteed or your money back!

You’ve seen the NHS doesn’t have the time to provide the consultation length you want to discuss your healthcare needs in the depth you want to go into. You could go private but an hour exploring in detail with a consultant is going to be hundreds of pounds.
People tell me I should be charging £hundreds for the depth and quality of the information in this course (imagine what a private consultation would cost for this long!!!) but I want as many people as possible to be able to really understand the management options for their high blood pressure so they can be empowered to make choices about their own health that are right for them!
Meet Dr Matthew Roycroft
Hello!
I’m Dr Matthew Roycroft, a dual certified consultant physician working in the NHS with a Masters in Higher Education.
I know that everyone is different - they’ve got different values, thoughts, concerns, ideas and things that are important to them. I’m passionate about helping people better understand their health conditions so that they can make decisions around their own health that are truly informed and right for them.
Bonus 1: Blood Pressure Diary
You might have heard of ‘white coat hypertension’ - when blood pressure readings done at your GPs read much higher than at home - but you might not have heard of the opposite, ‘masked hypertension’ when blood pressure is lower at the GPs. Having accurate measurements are a cornerstone of treatment decisions and whilst there are a few ways to do this (which we’ll explore in the course) one of the simplest is measuring your own blood pressure at home.
If you’re monitoring your blood pressure at home then you need a way of recording it and so when you enrol you’ll get a free blood pressure diary to either print out yourself or to copy along with simple guidance on how to use it.
Bonus 2: Exercise and diet
You know that exercise is good for you right? What you might not know though is that not all exercise is created equal when it comes to blood pressure control - one form of exercise is significantly better at lowering blood pressure than others and it’s not what you think!
You may have heard about salt reduction too but how good is it really? But what about potassium, sugar, fat and more?
In this bonus section we’ll explore diet and exercise and what the simplest changes are that make the biggest difference at lowering your blood pressure.
Bonus 3: Alternative options
Like many of my patients you may have wondered about alternative treatment options - acupuncture, dietary supplements like beetroot or cherry juice. But do they actually reduce blood pressure? And if they do what’s the reduction in stroke or heart attack risk from this?
In this free bonus section we’ll explore exactly this!
And so…
