Why Poor Blood Flow is Killing You And How EECP Fixes It with Jack Clifford #181

Author: Sarah Dawkins - Root Cause Healing, Adaptations & Natural Holistic Health Coach July 9, 2026 Duration: 32:37

In today's episode, host Sarah Dawkins sits down with retired US Coast Guard E9 and author Jack Clifford to expose one of the most powerful, underutilized medical devices on the planet: EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation).


After being told he needed an emergency triple bypass for severe arterial blockages, Jack took his health into his own hands. Now, with over 600 personal hours logged on an EECP machine, he has successfully grown an entire network of new micro-vasculature to bypass his own blockages.


Timestamp of key information

02:32 — The Emergency DiagnosisJack shares how his symptoms started during a run, then becoming short of breath when walking.

04:27 — The "Chili Pad" Catalyst. Jack shares how a Christmas gift meant to cool his bed triggered excruciating chest pain at 4:00 AM, forcing him to rush to the ER and revealing the severity of his cardiovascular condition.

07:02 — The Danger of "Pump Head". Jack explains his hesitation toward a bypass, highlighting a phenomenon known as "pump head".

11:41 — 100% Arterial Blockage. A heart catheterization showed that Jack's arteries were up to 100% blocked and diffuse throughout, meaning there was nothing the doctors could even place a stent into.

14:19 — How EECP Actually Works. Jack discusses how pressurized cuffs on the calves, thighs, and hips inflate sequentially between heartbeats to push blood back up to the heart and brain.

15:21 — Rebuilding the Vascular System. Jack explains that by forcing blood through the body multiplies capillaries and arterioles, to naturally grow a biological bypass around his 100% blocked arteries.

16:09 — Surprising Full-Body Side Effects. Beyond heart health, Jack and Sarah recap how the massive influx of oxygenated blood successfully reversed his erectile dysfunction, resolved pre-diabetic neuropathy, sharpened his eyesight and cleared up chronic brain fog.

27:15 — Reversing Stroke Pain in 13 Days. Jack shares a powerful testimonial of a friend's father who traveled to try the machine after a stroke left him with chronic right-sided pain, leaving 13 days later completely pain-free.

29:37 — Jack’s #1 Health Tip. When asked for advice for those suffering from angina or coronary insufficiency, Jack emphasizes the importance of tuning out daily digital noise and learning to truly listen to your body’s early warning signs before they become a medical emergency.

Tune in to discover why the doctor isn't always right, and why there is always hope.

Jack's Bio

Jack Clifford is a retired U.S. Coast Guard E-9 with 21 years of active duty service and the author of EECP: The Most Underutilized Therapy in Medicine.

After being told he needed an emergency triple bypass due to severe coronary artery blockages, he discovered Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) and spent the following years researching its science, clinical history, and global use.

He has personally used EECP for more than 600 hours. His mission is to help patients and clinicians understand the role circulation plays across multiple systems of the body — and to ensure no patient is told their options have run out before they've heard about EECP.
