My blood pressure was horrible and I was on BP meds for 25 years. July 20, 2022 I gave up sugars, bad carbs, seed oils, processed food. Within a month I was able to toss all meds!!! My BP has run 116/65 (69 pulse) ever since. I was amazed. My weight dropped 30 lbs in a year. I am now 115 lbs at 5’ 5”. I am 76.5 years

In Europe blood pressure readings are never taken at the Dr's office because it does not reflect your true blood pressure. Just commuting to the drs office and thinking about what will happen elevates BP. Instead, in Europe you take your own blood pressure readings at home when you are in a relaxed state.

I do believe that you opened my eyes, as to my problems! I’ve been carnivore for the last 3 months, and have gotten rid of the water in my feet & legs! I started this diet to get rid of gout in my feet! I haven’t had another gout attack since! I also lost 25 lbs, and 6 inches off my waist! For a 77 year old man, that’s 100% disabled, and stuck in an electrical recliner, I think it’s remarkable improvement! Unfortunately, I’m fighting my wife, because she believes I’m killing my self! I’m pretty determined on my goals, and gout is a great motivator, so I’m sticking with this diet, especially for the holidays! Thanks for the enlightenment. Happy birthday 🎂🎊🎈🎉🎁

Happy birthday Dr Boz. Thank you for all that you do educating people on keto and getting healthy. I’ve been bingeing watching your teaching and following your advice from how to lower carbs, changing lifestyle, to how to do intermittent fasting for the past three months. Even though I wasn’t doing really strict keto, just cutting down carbs, sugars, seeds oil and increased exercise. I managed to lose some weight and lowered my A1c back in the normal ranges. I’m happy that my family is also joining me in lowering carbs and intermittent fasting. Yes, we all got dark pink on the ketone strips too. Keep doing what you’re doing. Keto on.
My new primary Doctor was concerned about my blood pressure 150/77 and considered keeping me in the hospital overnight. I said "give me a few minutes and check again. I took four deep breaths and relaxed, the result was 138/75 He gave me a thumbs up and let me leave. The nurse asked me if I thought about a beach in Hawaii. "no" I was thinking about a Japanese message.

Sorry but something mad like this is not a good diet!
This is my first visit to your site. I've subscribed. I recently developed isolated systolic hypertension. My doctor and I have agreed to increase my Losartan from 75 mg to 100 mg and I'm agreeing to take metformin since my blood glucose suddenly went out of control and my diet and non prescription supplements weren't enough. In recent years I've become very interested in the biochemistry of health extension, life extension, and age reversal. My doctor thinks I'm nuts for taking over 100 different supplements a day but all of them are molecules I've researched and watch their development. I get a med check every 3 months. I'm a 75 year old male. Supplements have made the muscles in my limbs large and strong without any exercise. My senses are still fine and acutely sensitive. My mind is very active having a vast number of interests that keep me busy every day. I have what I found out is a sigma personality and don't mind living alone since my sister passed away 6 years ago. I never get lonely. Aldosterone secreted by the adrenal cortex controls the sodium potassium ratio. Losartan causes the excretion of potassium and so is combined as a potassium salt. Several years ago my sister tested low for sodium. She had other problems such as sleeping. One day someone got her to try cannabis as an extract heated in butter. It seemed to work so I decided to find out why. It stimulates the production of dopamine. She had been treated with serotonin and serotonin reuptake inhibitors and they didn't work. Wrong neurotransmitter. So I researched humans synthesis of dopamine. Phenylalanine and essential amino acid sold commercially as Aspertame the sweetener in diet soda is normally catilized to tyrosine with the hormone phenylalanine hydroxylase. There are over 100 variants of PKU where this hormone is anywhere from not sufficiently effective to absent. Tyrosine is converted to L-Dopa which is converted to dopamine. So I went to a health food store and bought tyrosine and it worked. So caffeine free diet soda increases dopamine and PCO2. BTW, there's a polyphenol in the rinds of lemons and limes that will reduce blood glucose by up to 11 percent.You'd need a microplane zester to scrape it off. It's not sold so far so you have to DIY.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Boz! I appreciate you. I had 8 vials of blood taken last week. All of the results came back better than they have been in years. I am having some stomach issues with burning when I eat, so my doctor took me off Metforman and a pain pill. Now, I'm waiting for an upper GI appointment. I've lost 30 pounds since September, too. I've tried for 30 years to lose weight with no prior luck. I'm doing Keto and continuous glucose monitoring.

Great video doc but there is information missing … the most crucial …. Potassium and needed 4700mg a day, we get nowhere near that and salt can’t operate and do its job without it Also magnesium and vitamin d3 thats what helped me

I told her that is because I experience anxiety before comming in to the "clinic" I asked her to retake it in 10 minutes. She left the room and came back in with a machine that reads 3 readings in a row and they take the average. It was fine. That was with her doing it IMMEDIATELY after taking it the first time, not even waiting. The nurses are worse than the so called "Dr's" who "practice" medicine. Sickening.

I experience white coat syndrome. My doctor told me to take a few minutes to think about relaxing on a beach. I thought about a serene mountain setting instead, but it worked! Then she told me that I would need meds, as I could not practice relaxation like that all the time at home or at work. I had explained that there were some extraneous circumstances for several months, family events that are stressful. She insists that those issues were irrelevant. She insists that I need meds at my age. Not yet.

I had a terrible reaction to calcium channel blockers. I have no thyroid or parathyroid due to cancer. (As a result, even taking daily calcium supplements I am still regarded as hypocalcemic.) Shortly after my dr precribed calcium channel blockers entire body locked up on several occasions, I was completely unable to move, even to use a phone. It was also very painful like a full-body cramp. I could hardly breathe, I thought I was dying. It happened on a train when I was with my toddler and luckily passengers alerted the driver who got the ambulance. The paramedics told me it was a "panic attack". When it happened a few days later at home, my husband told me "it's just a panic attack" - I was literally lying on the floor asking him to call help for help. After a few such episodes my doctor changed my prescription to coversyl. I have recently discovered dietary info like this and am aiming to reduce my med intake.

I have heard from a dr who well, went to med school also, and he explained how your BP top number should be 100 + your age. The heart ages as you do. Expecting a 62 year old like me to have the BP of a teenager is insane. He also quoted from a study that showed that those with high BO and really high BP, well, they lived longer on average than those who took meds, abs all of the BP meds damage the kidneys which regulate the blood pressure. I had an uncle who had a BP of 250 over 150 when I was 21. His Dr told him That was normal for him. He lives to be in his 80’s but not until the old dr passed away and a new dr put him on meds that killed his kidneys. I am 62, and I have had high BP since my teens. It runs in my family. I now have kidney disease due to the meds given me. But here is the huge kicker. Not a single DR even looked for the CAUSE of my high BP. They just shoved pills down my throat and said see you in 6 months. So I am putting it lightly when I say I do not trust today’s DR’s.

I've been Paleo for years and exercise 6 X week. He also told me when the bottom number stays too high then you will need some help, but pulse pressure is also important and shouldn't be over 100.

Happy birthday! I was sooo good on low carb and BP controlled with meds. Then I've been off really bad eating carbs. My BP shot up to 200/98 had some kind of spell. Went to ER and had all kinds of test. No answers. Everything was normal. Trying my best to be low carb again. Stress doesn't help. I'm soon to be 68 yr old woman with high cholesterol. Wish me luck!

Your insights shed light on often overlooked contributors, helping us take a holistic approach to managing blood pressure. This valuable information opens up a broader conversation about health and lifestyle choices. Thank you for bringing awareness to these lesser-known aspects that play a significant role in our blood pressure levels!
Happy Birthday, Dr. Boz! Wishing you a great year ahead. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Normal pressure: 100/60
I remember a documentary 10 years ago saying that animal fat was “encasing our cells in fat” and that’s why we can’t process sugars (carbs) properly and if we became vegan it would fix everything. My daughter became vegan and gained 50lbs and now has PCOS. The vegans arguing really pisses me off now. Thanks for this video it was enlightening ❤.
FYI I have discovered with my Florida Medical Pot License that the pot actually brings blood pressure down to normal for the day with just one joint. Edibles will do the same. My prescription blood pressure medicine never did the trick.
Happy birthday, Annette! You're a true blessing!🎉🎉

Thats too high, take important steps to get it lower.
How about potassium and magnesium supplements?
It’s ridiculous how the medical profession, no doubt influenced by pharmaceutical companies, who finance the studies, keeps lowering the number of what they consider hypertension. Our BP goes up as we age as a protective mechanism. How many grandpas are falling due to BP meds. Everyone now has high BP and take meds. One study doesn’t confirm their argument. If they were truthful they would say everyone should quit carbs instead of popping a pill.

Sorry, but this is just a fairy tale people use to soothe themselves and avoid the lifestyle changes needed to improve their health. Take the meds to get your BP down fast. But then do the work of improving sleep, stress management, low-carb diet (with lots of leafy greens), and exercise to get yourself off the meds. I’m 74 and my BP is 104/65. No meds. You think my doctor is disappointed?

Age 72. Took my BP at 0730 this morning, at rest an hour after finishing breakfast. Reading: 99/75, normal for me. My "upper" number tends to swing between 90 and 115. I generally feel no ill effects unless the "upper" number drops into the 80s, which happens on occasion, thankfully not often. Complicating the matter, I'm on Propranolol, normally taken to lower BP. In my case, it is an effective migraine preventative. Not perfect, but used in combination with food-trigger avoidance I tend to get no more than two, maybe three, attacks in a sixth-month period. Over the years I've reduced Propranolol dosage from 60mg twice a day to what it is now: 40mg once a day three days a week + 20mg once a day four days a week. Thus far this reporting period I've not had a single migraine! I've tried several times to further reduce dosage to 20mg once per day every day of the week. This proved to be a step too far, sad to say. How much Propranolol does or doesn't reduce my BP, I've no idea. It being effective at what it is prescribed for and me not noticing any ill effects at my "normal" BP (with rare exceptions), I'm not thinking to abandon it. Oh yeah, Happy B-day!

My BP was 110/70 all the time until I hit 42. My doctor said it was "right on time" with my family history. I'm glad he didn't try to guilt me over it, since I'd always eaten healthy and exercised and was not overweight, did not smoke, etc. If you are very interested in this subject, look up the studies done on identical twins raised apart; they are very interesting!

Depending on where the salt is mined from the ground or from the sea it has sodium and different minerals. Table salt is processed and has additives. Unprocessed salt sticks together, processed salt comes in little balls. Your nerves system uses sodium and other parts of your body. Your kidneys flush excess sodium or recycles it back into your bloodstream as needed.
This is so true! My blood pressure returned to normal when I lowered my blood sugar and started the keto diet. What about Berberine for those who really have a problem?
Natural salt is very healthy for you. It's bleached and processed salt that is bad since it will irritate the vein walls.
I’m 62 and weighed an average of 185+ pounds for few years. Due to BP of 135+ over 85+, I was on Irbesartan 300 mg and 50mg Metoprolol for infrequent AFib. About 2 months ago, I had a TIA that scared the crap out of me. I was prescribed Eliquis and Atorvastin to prevent future strokes. I drastically changed my diet and cut out my carbs, sugared drinks, and snacks. I’ve lost at least 15 lbs. and my BP dropped as low as 95/55 during rest. My Irbesartan was reduced to 75mg and Metoprolol reduced to 25mg because my pulse dropped in the 50s from the 70s. My BP now averages about 105/65.

Beta Blockers also lower your HDL (not good). Not sure it works for all. Been keto for 7 years (lost 45 pounds, many other benefits), low blood sugar for 7 years and blood pressure has never corrected, I am now on meds for it.
Potassium is not emphasized enough. We have seen studies draw strange correlations with arrhythmias and the ketogenic diet. I believe this is due to low potassium intake over years in conjunction with the pro inflammatory effects of aldosterone. We know that aldosterone exerts a negative effect on the vascular system and increases inflammation. I have started using a potassium salt substitute and this has improved my BP and resting HR.

The VA has never checked my blood sugar that I know of. For the past 9 months I've been diagnosed with low potassium I take Amolodopine as well as Losartan.

Potassium is in vegetables and fruits mostly. By going carnivore you are depriving yourself of nutrients your body evolved on for millennia (unless you are of Inuits or Eskimos and alike ancestry). I eat a generally balanced diet, full of carbs, but also eat greens and fruits (more carbs) and my BP is low and even had a little higher potassium level a few years ago. I always had a lower BP. Blood glucose control is also great.

Salt is a factor in raising BP, but not the salt in your diet so much. The reason that lowering blood glucose also lowers BP is that glucose causes an insulin response, and insulin makes the kidneys HOLD ON TO THE SALT THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE. Then to maintain pH via "homeostasis" your body also holds onto water which elevates BP. But that's not all - with high blood glucose your cells become numb to insulin trying to load them up with more glucose as they are "full" so your pancreas secretes more insulin try to force the glucose out of your blood as it is toxic to blood vessels and organs - this leads to INSULIN RESISTANCE as your insulin is not working and you are on the road to diabetes - your glucose and insulin go higher and higher and you kidneys hold on to more salt and your BP increases more - a vicious cycle. And if that is not bad enough, the high serum insulin traps your fat in your adipose tissue and tells your lean tissue to burn glucose and not fat, and so you have not "water water everywhere and not a drop to drink" but "energy (fat) energy everywhere and not a bite to eat." Fat is to be used for energy, it is not for looks. When your blood glucose is high then your insulin is high and you cannot burn your fat for energy and you crave carbs and are hungry for carbs - the reason a ketogenic diet works is that YOU ARE NOT HUNGRY as you are when you eat carbs. Bottom line, as this video tells you, keep your serum glucose down which will lower insulin which will lower your BP.
sardines is magical.. my blood pressure go down
I enjoy your content and the overall message to lower blood glucose but I fear you are venturing into unknown territory when you attempt to comment on "so called" scientific studies. This Sprint study had 10,000 participants. 9,635 did not die of any cause over a three year period. Does that suggest we should be worried about anything we do? What do we know about the population of the participants? Were they on the standard American diet? Where they overweight? Where did they live, which is relevant to how much Vitamin D they had access to. Did they take supplements? Were they on any other medication? What were their ages, and so on? Was blood pressure the only variable because if it was not, then I fear the study is worthless. The conclusion also states that "significantly higher rates of some adverse events were observed in the intensive-treatment group". That doesn't sound good!
I have secondary hypertension. Can you speak of that. My blood pressure doesn't respond to meds .
Thank you for showing the link between glucose and hypertension.

As I understand it the actual cause of hypertension is not the increased blood sugar itself but the increased Insulin. If your blood sugar goes from 5 mg/dl to say 7 mg/dl that is about an extra 70 mg total in your whole blood circulation that's enough to draw in an extra say 1ml of fluid hardly significant.Insulin can increase blood pressure via several mechanisms: increased renal sodium reabsorption, activation of the sympathetic nervous system, alteration of transmembrane ion transport, and hypertrophy of resistance vessels. It also inhibits the action of Nitrous Oxide. So yes if you lower your blood sugar BP goes down but it is because you are lowering insulin not glucose. Young type I diabetics with high glucose and low insulin do not typically get hypertension.

I am 43, being hypertension patient at least since 2010 and figured out that I am T2D since 2021 that I am apparently sometime before. last March, I started Keto with no previous knowlege, no one helped even when I sought a professional help found none. I only used the internet, google and youtube. my last A1C is 5.3 and I don't take any Hypertension medication now, as during the journy I experienced a sudden drop of my hypertention. I didn't expected that but it seems that losing weight and healthy food led of fixing my blood pressure which was not in my target list that I didn't expected and was not prepared for ! otherwise I would have monitored my BP to avoid the drop I experienced !! be prepared to get rid of your medication once you lose +/- 15 Kg of your weight "it depends on your current weight". the good news is that, those +/-15 Kg are usually the most easy kilos to lose, they are mostly water !!,.. once you stop carbs, and decrease the amount of salt intake in a day to less than 1g, walk to not less than an hour or two if not daily at least every other day. you will be someone else in 45 up to 60 days. but keep on monitoring your BP and blood sugar as well as consult your doctors very often as the change will be very quick and immediate.

My Question is How was the blood pressure measured? I have been to the dentist and they take the pressure on my wrist. Way high - Then I go to my GP and it's done with a manual unit (air pump by the nurse) and it reads normal. Then I take it at home with an automated machine and it reads low. DO NOT tell me it's White Coat syndrome! Then there is the numbers - everyone I speak with has a different number! With my GP it's never low enough (hence the conspiracy theory!) So as a group of doctors can you please please make up a number and stick to it? Or do we keep Practicing because we don't know! 120/80 has been the norm for many years, now it has to be lower. 2 years from now it will change again. This smells of the great OAT MEAL fiasco where it was a good idea for a while and then changed because it didn't work out. Another question - how low is too low? I know too low means your dead also!

I think 140/90 is it okay for someone in their fifties. I truly believe the people pushing the drugs run the numbers down for their own benefit and that medication is not good for our kidneys I've been taking blood pressure medication since my early forties am I ran 5 Mi a day up until I was about 38 years old which happened to be in 2008 when I lost everything I ever owned and I just quit doing everything. Anyways, I'm 53 years old now and I sure do want to get back to working out and I would love to come off the blood pressure meds when I do I'm not going to ask the doctor either. I see a different doctor every time I go and one told me I needed cholesterol medication the other said I didn't so I quit taking it. The doctor got mouthy with me while I was in the office. that was a mistake! I let them know real clear that I control what does or does it go in my body can I really don't give a rat's ass what they think about it. I truly don't think high blood cholesterol is as big a deal as people make it out to be but if I'm wrong and I die then it's on me. We've got people are smoking three packs of cigarettes a day and no one's bitching at them. Hell, they get five extra breaks a day at work! I walked outside of work the other day and the boss man asked me what I was doing okay I told him I was taking a fresh air brake! The moronic things that people think are normal in this world really pissed me off why should someone to smokes get more breaks than someone that doesn't? That is so insane can I have for one and not dealing with it. Anyways, everything we take does more damage than good I think it's all horseshit!
Doc, isn't the problem a combination of fat and sugar. They don't mix well. High fat high carb diet causes the high blood sugar. I've found that keto/carnivore works and also fruitarian (low fat raw vegan). Both independently have taken my BP down well below 120/80.
Happy Birthday, Dr. Boz! Another great teaching!
My temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure have been low for decades, but with very high blood oxygen. In my early 60s my blood pressure became too low. Adding salt to my nutrition brought it up into the normal range. I've been going for walks after eating meals as long as I can remember. The athlete Stan Efferding explains that this moves sugar from blood into the big muscles in the legs, hips, and lower torso, where it belongs. Building muscle and using muscle improve storage of carbohydrates safely out of the bloodstream.
Dr Boz, thank you for making these kind of videos. You explain everything so well - how it works, and how to help the body is so wonderful.
We share the same birthday. 😂 Thank you for today. I have a BP Cuff that sends my pressure over a cellphone signal to my doctor's office. It's been up and down but still, running high and she's prescribed medication of which I have been reluctant to take. I take too many pills already. I'm still not sure about taking the BP medication but I have a bit more information to consider as I make the decision. Happy Birthday 🎂 to you and Patrick. AA or WiLdTiger

I wouldn't wish beta blockers on my worst enemy! I was on them for a stretch of time (YEARS). I felt like crap 24/7! My heart rate stayed too low all the time. My heart rate in the 50s.

I too had a horrible time on beta blockers. My MD tried 2 types. My heart rate went below 50. I couldn’t climb stairs or go shopping. I was afraid to sleep at night in case my HR dropped so low, it would stop all together. Fortunately a cardiologist set me right on appropriate medication and gave me dietary advice but unfortunately not keto.
Question: my blood pressure changes depending on the time of day, stressors, physical activity. At these times my blood pressure is often well over 130/80, yet when fully relaxed my pressure drops to under 120/80. My doc this past year reduced my Lisinopril to 10 mg when I started tamsulosin. I'm a 70 yr-old male. What/how is my blood pressure (qualitatively)? Good or bad?
I've been keto for years and have fatty liver and high blood pressure. I didn't monitor so maybe I wasnt in ketosis. And drink a lot of coffee with cream to replace snacks. So, if you don't do keto right, you will be me...
usually they say 120/80, but I'm content with anything under 140/90, at least before watching all of this video. My doctor gave me, all of those meds or combinations at different times. Finally, I took my health into my own hands, ate Keto to Carnivore, went back. Doctor says, "you're blood pressure is fine, I guess the meds are working" I answered, "I didn't take the meds". He said, with a puzzled face, "Oh". I explained that I ate low carb (I couldn't shock him more to say I eat Carnivore. Doctor's answer, "well, keep doing what you're doing". I'm 66 now, no meds, Carnivore 3 years, 15+ years keto before that.
Make sure you are using the correct cuff size. This does make a difference in your pressure.
