Killing America isn’t a health book — it’s a warning shot.
Every day, over 2,300 Americans die from high blood pressure-related episodes, including heart attacks and strokes, and most never saw it coming. We’re not talking about the old and frail. We’re talking about you. Your brother. Your mom. Your best friend.
Killing America doesn’t pull punches as Jason Hamond explores his struggle with High Blood Pressure and weight gain. He explains how he reversed it. And now he’s blowing the whistle on the #1 Health crisis in America.
Jason drags you into this national crisis as he rips the curtain back on the Hypertension epidemic that’s quietly killing nearly a million Americans every year. At the same time, the food industry feeds it, Big Pharma profits from it, and doctors barely mention it.
Inside, you’ll read about Jason's 8-year journey to figure out what was driving his blood pressure sky high. The moments leading up to his 50th birthday, which led to the 2 months that brought his blood pressure back to normal, tanked his Cholesterol, stabilized his glucose, and changed the trajectory of his Health and life forever.
Through that journey, he discusses:
The ugly truth about what’s really driving your blood pressure sky high.
The blueprint for reversing it naturally — without meds or fluff
Real talk on food, exercise, weight gain, movement, and mindset
The lies we’re sold — and the tools to break free
Killing America isn’t gentle. It's not sugar-coated. It's a fight for your life — and the lives of millions of Americans who are on that same death march.
Read it and Act, because silence is killing us. And it’s time to scream back.
In the 1970s, the Obesity rate was around 13%. Approximately 16% of people dealt with high blood pressure. So what happened? The prevailing commentary is simple genetics, but is it?
Since then, Hypertension has exploded to 48%. The Obesity rate in America is approximately 44%, but that's not all.
6.7 million people over the age of 20 live with heart failure.
On Average, 850,000 Americans die from a heart attack or stroke every year.
1 in 7 children/adolescents have elevated or high blood pressure.
Heart Attack and stroke are the number 1 killers in America, besides accidental death.
Nearly 7 million people have died from a heart attack or stroke in the US over the last decade
1 person dies from events related to High Blood pressure every 30 seconds in the US.
This is not a problem; this is an epidemic. And it shouldn't concern you, it should make you Mad.
Not only have millions of people lost their lives to this epidemic, but millions more are living with disabilities as a result of heart attacks or strokes. Leaving loved ones, spouses, children, grandchildren, and friends either mourning the loss of someone they love or are now caretaking someone afflicted by this insidious problem.
The worst part is that 80% of these statistics are entirely preventable. This isn't a genetic problem. This is a cultural problem that needs to be addressed and changed now.
For 8 years, I was on this death march, living with Hypertension and struggling to get it under control. I was at the end of my rope. I knew a heart attack was on the horizon. That is until a conversation on a park bench and a discovery soon after not only reversed my condition in two months but also astonished my doctor, completely changed the direction of my Health as I learned how to lower my blood pressure naturally and in the process changed how I view the food industry, modern healthcare, and what we can do to stop this madness.

Jason Hamond is a business veteran, health reformer, and unapologetic truth-teller with over 22 years of experience in product development, marketing, sales, and operations. Throughout his career, he’s led teams, grown companies, and built brands across the retail and manufacturing landscape. But his most important project wasn’t in a boardroom—it was in his own bloodstream.
After nearly a decade of living with high blood pressure, Jason found himself facing a choice: keep following the standard playbook and hope for the best… or tear it up and write a new one. He chose the latter. What followed was a two-month experiment in discipline, lifestyle shifts, and honest self-assessment that not only reversed his Hypertension but changed the trajectory of his life. That change held—not for weeks or months, but has continued for 2 years.
Killing America: Surviving the Blood Pressure Epidemic is Jason’s unfiltered account of those events, what’s killing us, and what we can do about it. More than a memoir, it’s a megaphone—calling out a broken system, exposing common myths, and empowering readers to challenge the status quo. With a sharp eye and straight-talking style, Jason holds up the mirror and dares us to look closer.
When he’s not lifting heavy weights, walking laps, or digging through research studies, Jason is building The Hack Sheet, a bold new media platform aimed at disrupting complacency in health, culture, politics, and tech.
He lives in Mankato, Minnesota with his wife, where they also run a family-owned retail store, have 4 chilidren, and 1 grandchild.
