I’m 61 and recently began to have problems with my blood pressure, with my readings being as high as 160/100 but averaging around 156/95. I historically don’t have a history of high blood pressure, but it does run in my family. Before putting me on medication, the doctor suggested that I try and make some lifestyle changes, which I was more than happy to do instead of taking pills. I altered my diet…cut out the cakes and pastries, (which was hard as I’m a cake monster) pretty much stopped eating anything that came in a packet (processed food) and cut right down on my salt intake. Things I introduced - oatmeal for breakfast, with nuts, fruits, and ground flaxseeds, introduced salads, homemade vegetable based smoothies, and home cooked meals into my diet (I’ve not had any takeaway food now for two months). I also take a fish-oil capsule every day. Lastly, I got active, aiming for 7000 steps per day. It was difficult at first, but now 2 months later, I’m doing it with ease. My most recent BP readings are now averaging around 127/83. Still not optimal but for 2 months into my journey I’m happy - this is now my new lifestyle and I’m confident I’ll get it down further. This stuff works, you just have to be prepared to make the changes…..oh and as a bonus, I’ve lost a little bit of weight too. Update to my comment: 1 month after I wrote this comment my average BP is now at 119/78 - I have my review in 3 weeks time, where the doctor was going to discuss putting me on BP medication. It could just be that I may be able to escape the pills for now……

Such great news 🙏🏽🙏🏽

i started in the early 80's by cutting all synthetics and processed food. then i cut all added sugar of any kind. then i cut bovine dairy. i eliminated all kinds of serious problems i had. by late 80's i was doing triathlons, marathons, and bicycle racing. for the past 20yrs, i have turned my house to an orchard / garden and produce over 90% of what i eat. i get exercise gardening and still never get sick. as for beets, you are eating the wrong type. i grow a very large variety that is very sweet when steamed and are very tender and tasty all by itself. these are huge, one will fill your hand. spinach also has varieties that are nice. as for garlic, try aged garlic. i grow my own and age my own. aged garlic (7ys) does not smell. i eat it every day, it is almost like candy. as for ginger, i also grow my own in the greenhouse. it is wonderful. i also brew ginger ale. best thing to do for your blood pressure, stress and general well being is go garden and grow great things. save money, clear your mind, improve your health, get physical activity without the cost and boredom, and get closer to nature. it will improve your life in every way 🙂

I realize this is an old video, but I have to say after having a stroke due to high blood pressure a year ago you have always been my best help. I have gone from doctor to doctor, realizing they have nothing to offer as far as rehabilitation and recovery. If a pill won’t work, they have no other answers. I get shunned by every doctor because I refuse to take a bunch of medication. I’m 70 years old and have never had a prescription drug until this blood pressure medication. I hate the way it makes me feel I hate the way it causes me to swell up and retain water and hate the depression. I’ve been afraid to exercise because of the blood pressure due to the precautions that you give but now I feel I have a good idea how to do it. You have always given me hope and this video in the world was connected to have been the most helpful since my stroke a year ago November. Thank you Dr. story I just love you.!

I used to have very high blood pressure and went on medication. Back during COVID, since I wasn't going out to lunch, I started going outside for a few minutes a day. That was pretty boring so I'd listen to a KZread video and walk around the block. Pretty soon I was going on longer walks and listening to podcasts. Now I'm getting 15k-30k steps a day and listening to audio books. I always hated exercise (except for paintball I'd do with friends on the weekends when I was in my 20s) but walking in nature while lost in the world of a novel is fun and effortless. I also have been doing intermittent fasting (OMAD), no alcohol, and low carb during the week but going out for drinks and a restaurant meal on Fridays and enjoying reasonable carbs on the weekends. I've lost 80+ pounds, dropped one heart prescription and about to drop the other. My waist has gone from 44 to 36 and hopefully will continue to drop another 2-4 inches.

Food is medicine. Walking and breathing are free. Knowing this information, priceless. Thank you so much Dr. Story.

My doctor’s practice is on the third floor … I’m terrified of elevators so I take the stairs. This increases my blood pressure. Knowing this my doctor takes two readings…the beginning of the exam and the end of the exam. It’s always back to normal on the second reading👍. Perhaps more doctors should do two readings during a physical exam.🤓👍

Im also hypertensive, I’m from the philippines btw. We have history in the family. My bp is in the hypertensive side like 140/90 up- highest is 170/100 To reverse the pressure to normal i do the following. 1. Tapping my finger tips all of them. 2. Deep breathing 3. Eat avocado, oatmeal/glass of pineapple juice, green tea sometimes works 4. Decreased fatty foods 5. Increasing green foods, avoiding sugar 6. Some exercise TM, walking, biking no heavy liftings for me. House chores is good also 7. Stress free life style 8. Avoid commenting from social media. 9. Smile and relax the body 10. being calm in most annoying day. Hope it helps.

Here’s my experience: Been on blood pressure medication for decades (GP and cardiologists on autopilot & I was ignorant). A year ago I changed my lifestyle. More exercise, started intermittent fasting 16-8, usually no more than 2 meals a day, sometimes 1 (‘OMAD’). Drastically lowered my intake of carbs and sugar (keto-ish but not religiously keto). Avoiding processed foods and focus on real food. Took care of my vitamin D (I’m in the 60 - 80 ng/ml range now; I think the mountain of recent scientific data convincingly shows that 50 ng/ml is the minimum for optimal health for most). Some other supplements like the ones you mention. I halved / skipped my meds without consulting my GP (I once suggested we reduce and see what happens, but he didn’t want to ‘change a winning team’), I did not get on the scale or checked my blood pressure for a year. When I checked recently, I lost 9,5 kg, my blood pressure readings are now normal (around 20 points down compared to one year ago - and that without the bulk of the meds, mind you), my BMI went down from 29 to 26.3 (fine for my age). I keep learning and vids like yours help me fine tune. To anybody who is skeptical: Lifestyle trumps meds big time and it’s never too late to improve your health and fitness. I’m an old fart and I managed it pretty well. Adam, you’re telling a true story. Thanks for that!

Not going to lie, this is the most informative video I ever watched. And I am avid KZreadr. Thank you for sharing this wonderful information and keeping everybody who will take your advice healthy.

Thank you Doc Story. My blood pressure was 165/95 this morning when I started to search for solution on KZread then I finally came across Doc Story's video. At that time, I was feeling very upset with my heart bitting fast fast. But when I patiently watched his video and take some note, at the end of his video I got relief from all ald feeling I was experiencing. I thank God now even as am typing, I know that my BP has come down a little bit from where it was b4 this time although I am not with the BP machine right now with me but I can feel the differece. Praise God, Doc, you are good.

So many things I could say about my BP, but one MAIN thing that everyone should be aware of that happened to me at the Dr.'s office, I knew my BP was around 130/85, I take garlic supplements and monitor it twice a day, In June for semi-annual check up nurses assist, first got a reading of my systolic being 164 (don't even remember diastolic), I told her I knew that was wrong, took it again and 155, still told her that wasn't right. When my Dr. came in she took my BP manually, which most Dr.'s are hesitant to do and got my normal reading of 132/84. NOW think of the person who doesn't have a BP machine at home and had normal BP, but got a much higher reading at the Dr. they would've been giving a script for meds they don't need at all !! Just imagine how many people are taking BP meds not needed !!

The fantastic Article I enjoyed it for 45 minutes. I'm 80 years old. I've had high Blood Pressure for 35 years. My father died on his 49th birthday. 5 in my brothers, I've already died. And one sister, because they wouldn't go to the doctor I've had 5 bypasses put in a 92. And I currently have 19 steps. I've been with the same cardiologist here in Boise Idaho. Since 1990 five, he has not explained. The things to me like you just didn't last 45 minutes. I appreciate your time and I'll be working towards some of these goals. I am across country truck driver. I still try to run a 130 and 40000 miles a year.

I had a heart attack at 40yrs old. A widow maker! No prior BP or cholesterol red flags, but it is common in our family to suffer a cardiac event around this age. An aunt I never got to know passed at 39 of a massive heart attack. I'm still stuck taking 5 prescriptions a day. I've cut my carbs and protein in half, upped my veggie intake and lost 40lbs. It's also important to be cautious of how many calories you drink per day. I would drink 3 coffees a day full of creamer. A lot of creamers contain vegetable oil and it seemed so unnecessary. Our ancestors didn't chug oil all day. Get back to the old, healthy way of putting good calories back into your diet. This made so much sense after recording my diet for 1 month. I dare you to be honest with yourself. God Bless.

Thank you for a very encouraging guide on lowering blood pressure. One important lesson I have derived from this is, TO KEEP DOING THE SIX THINGS WITHOUT STOPPING. MAKE IT PART OF MY LIFE.

What I like about this presentation - it doesn’t start with “what’s up guys” - not a looong time talking about how great he is - thirdly, no heavy sell about a wonder product solution which you can buy for $19.99 a month - finally, and most importantly, good advice which should not be hard to put into practice. Thanks Doc.

I was diagnosed with over 200 in blood pressure back in July, after many hours of research and watching youtube, I started intermittent fasting than added keto to it. I started to walk a little every day and have lost 9 kilos since. I hope to get off the medication to a more natural way of controlling my blood pressure this year. You have really helped me and inspire me to do this. Thank you.

I love, love, love beets. If you get them, scrub them, wrap in foil and bake them in the oven. When soft, let them cool, peel them a little and slice them up - they are sweet as candy. If I don't have time to fuss around, I always keep a glass jar of sliced pickled beets in the refrigerator.

Just on #2 but I just want to say that I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and CHF (no symptoms) but low ejection fraction one year ago. I walk one mile briskly with the dog or 30 minutes on the treadmill every other day. I used to do 5 days a week but I have bad knees (got gel injection) and the ortho dr said only every other day. I’m on medication for BP and ejection fraction. Both have improved a lot. I also changed my diet. I have a healthy cereal (bran flakes with fruit) for breakfast. Tuna usually for lunch with veggies and fruit, and I cook Mediterranean recipes for dinner. I immediately threw out salt and butter. I use olive oil and salt free seasonings. I can eat out or at someone’s house and still be good. I feel great and, even though I didn’t need to, I lost a few pounds. I check my BP in the morning and evening everyday 1-2 hrs after taking the pill. I feel great and I had my second echo in November and the ejection fraction went from 30-35% to 50-55%! I’m having another echo done in one month. I’m hoping to get some more good ideas from you. So far I’m enjoying your videos and I have subscribed. Thank you so much. My big problem more is I love to have a small dessert after dinner so I’m probably eating too much sugar so I have to work on that. Thank you! I look forward to more videos from you.

Doc, I followed your suggestion on 5 minutes of deep breathing with one modification: Deep Anulom Vilom Pranayama for ten minutes. I confirm my readings before and after were: Before: 169/87 After: 107/65 I am very certain about the efficacy of this method. Very grateful Doc🙏🙏🙏

This was an amazing video - thank you so much - you covered so many of the issues that I am sure really make a difference. I had already started the walking and the diet to some extent but the mental issues as you say is "the biggy". You have really inspired me - so thank you a thousand times.

Thanks doc! My systolic bp is consistently 20 points higher at the dr office than at home. However, even at home it was too high (runs in family). I am on 3 BP meds no matter what diet I eat or exercise. It actually did best on 100% plant based, now back to Mediterranean. My bp is around 120 / 80 on average and I have no side effects from the meds. My weight is normal and so are all blood values. I envy folks who can do this without meds, but I am equally grateful for medical science to get me in a great physical place together with diet, exercise and breathing exercises / working on mental health.

Which bp meds is best for a 55 yr black female I'm in good heath excersise all the time but my sleep in not great and it effects my bp because I get anxiety from not sleeping

You've been an absolutely brilliant doctor. I shall keep this video and follow your advice. God bless you.

You are spot on. Thank you for sharing. Reducing stress helped me. I used journaling and making pictures of the life I wanted. I also combined ginger, garlic, and other roots to make a all-day drink by boiling and reheating added water as I consumed it all day. It lowered my blood pressure. I adapted life to cardio 3-5 days at least 30 mins. on rowing machine, bike, treadmill, or swimming. Finally, moved to one meal, eat anything, food consumption, including soda on some days. Justified exercise by the steam sauna afterwards. Lost 10 pounds in 2 months and have kept it off for 4 months. Workouts have weight training too, to keep muscle mass. Now moving to the next tier to improve agility and endurance more to restart the next phase of lowering weight and blood pressure. Once again, thank you for sharing your insights. Very inspiring indeed!

Thank you so much for guiding me in the right direction. My BP was 181/84 when I started watching the video. I chewed a piece of garlic and started the breathing exercise as I listened to you. By the end of the video my pressure dropped to 155/77. I'm still working on it. Thanks and God bless.

Wonder about peopleunder financial stress? Difficult to change this. Some people practice stoicism to deal with stress.

Dr Story, thank you so much. I had been doing my best to seek natural help for my high blood pressure and started took some supplements but since April..it was not going down consistently. Today this morning and afternoon...I seriously went thru and took notes. This morning when I was saw your you tube ..my pressure were consistently like 157 to 160 over 100 to 90. I realized I had been trying to hard to do box breathing and it wasn't working for me. Today I used your breathing method and Boi! My active pressure were like 127 to 130 over 85 to 80 but I gotta try most of your methods and let you know in 8 to 12 weeks times! Thank you

Great knowledge explicitly put together, thanks Dr.

THANKS for the information, I have enjoyed the programme, Bless you,

So nice of you

This advice is very practicable and easy to follow ❤

I watched this video on TV, had to get my phone to make a comment. I appreciate this video. I’m going to truly do the breathing and I’m going to increase my mobility! I have a fantastic diet and I take the supplements, but I throw in bad sweets; done with sweets starting now! I have been under overwhelming stress for almost a year this March. I turned 69 on 1/4 and I want to live a longer life like my Mom who will be 93 this month. Got to learn not to let stress be in control of my health. Thank you so much! ❤

I found this presentation very informative. I have chronic high BP. I love this.

Thank you so much for such a detailed information. Extremely helpful. God bless you.

Great video, this summarizes and goes into some depth on a variety of BP hacks that are efficacious for a lot of people. I try to put all 6 of these into practice, adding beets to my diet is just the latest. In my case I think I need to lower stress because the past 18 months have been stressful to say the least. I might try reading the Carnegie book or some other things for emotional relief.

Really love your videos. For the information and humor. Thank you.

Love this so much! Thank you so much Dr. Adam!

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. My bp was significantly high three days ago. So i will go back to walking which I've stopped for some months now. You've inspired me to take care of my health again. Thanks again.

Thank you 🙏 For taking your time and giving us all this good info 👍

Great stuff. I'm on BP medication, not because i'm hypertensive, but because of my stress and each time i went for BP check up my BP will be high but when i'm at home everything was ok, so the doctor put me on medication.

Excellent advice Doc, I’ve been on medication for over 20 years, retired 5 months ago & started regular exercise & eat properly, reduced stress level too since I’m not working.
