![Blood pressure-how to measure, manage, and treat high blood pressure [AMA 48 sneak peek]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3T9gIkAXI2c/mqdefault.jpg)
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
Fantastic. I dropped carbs down to
120/809
Wow. That's really amazing .that's were I really need the help I was like 200 /90 for long time now I am 145/83 still working on it
The health blood pressure is 120/80
116/65 is much better
The absolute worst thing for blood pressure is a TOXIC cardiologist that works in a toxic system the only goal in self preservation .
Well said!
120 /80
The kidney doc says my daughter can eat almost anything and take insulin.
Cardiologists favorite word, "statin" 😅
Carnivore, carnivore, carnivore...❤
This is the first time that I have ever heard a connection between blood pressure and blood sugar. I’m retired and have been dealing with high blood pressure for 45 years.
Every type 1 diabetic I've ever met knows this correlation.
My blood pressure has been high for quite some time ….like 170/103 high. I finally agreed to go on medication but only at the lost dose available. In one month of no carbs, my BP is around 115/77. Weaning off the medication now.
Good job
Thank you
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.
DIARY log of blood pressure at home different times of day and need to be seated for at least 10 min with feet on floor
and arm supported at heart level, no talking
Exactly 👍, America is a scam because of Health Insurance and Pharmaceutical companies. It’s getting harder and harder to find or afford a private/independent family doctor who is NOT part of a hospital or corporate medical group. Today, you probably get better healthcare treatment outside the USA compared to 30-40 years ago before Government intervention!
Ty ,I learned from the comments too.
Mine goes up at doctors and is normal at home
There was a time when doctors didnt consider medication unless you were consistently 140 over 90.
Skip to 18:24 where she finally gets on topic.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Much Appreciated
Thank you! All these TH-camrs think you have all this extra time to listen to them babble.
👍🏿
I tell everyone!! I was a 140/90 my whole life until i did a72 hr sardine fast and stopped eating so frequently, that's it. I wasnt eating a lot or poorly but now my bp is normal. No one ever told me the connection but everyone needs to know
You only ate sardines for 3 days?
Sorry but something mad like this is not a good diet!
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.
I had high BP for years. I was on 2 meds. I went keto, increased my salt, and now have normal BP with no meds.
Increased your salt?
Yes, sodium is critical to health. A low sodium diet is not good for the heart.
@@finagill ah, OK, now it makes sense, thanks! I could never do low sodium because I love salt....use either sea or himalayan...but I do have high bp and am told I use too much salt.
Just found you, I feel so much better to hear you say The Keto Diet. I have been told twice by my doctor to get off the Keto Diet. I have white coat syndrome. Also I always have to ask for the right size cuff. I have a blood test every year with a clean bill of health. My blood pressure has been good and bad. Good at home not so good in the office. I thank you for all your great valuable information. Happy Birthday 🎂
Finally....A real Doctor...who continues to grow and learn.
much appreciated.
Have a great day tomorrow!
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 🎂🎊🎈🎉🎁
great job! I'm really struggling with the water in my legs and feet. Can I ask how long it took to for you to see results in losing the water? I also spend my nights in a recliner and hate that thing. Are you working toward being able to get out of yours as well?
Great job!! You might out live her 😁👍🏽😉
I’ve been carnivore for 100 days, but the water disappeared pretty quickly. Stay the course, everything gets better! Boring 🥱, but better! The weight loss was a bonus! Good luck 👍🏻🍀!
Please continue with your carnivore diet, you are on the right track !
Great news! Hopefully she is seeing the visible improvements already? When you get your next bloodwork results, that should cinch the deal & bring her on board the Keto/Carnivore Diet!
Have her watch some of the Carnivore Doctors videos showing the blood work improvements!
Keep up the Good Work!
Happy birthday! Mine was yesterday
47 years old ketogenic diet for over two years. Lost 145 pounds, then put on 25 without changing a thing! Just got your MCT capsules delivered looking forward to taking them.
What a lovely lady and super relatable. I really needed to hear her well put message. Thank you Dr Boz.
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.
So glad to hear you talk about Blood sugar and high blood pressure!
I struggle with HP for years, when I started Keto 4 years ago, was able to come off BP meds!
I fell off Keto wagon during holidays and BP went up, family thought I had lost my mind when I said carbs cause my BP to go up!!
Thank you for all your support!
carbs give my daughter major anxiety...
😮I eat less than 20 carbs and my pressure is better controlled on my meds but still is high at Dr - I take it at home, and it's usually good and if it's high er I can usually figure out why,lack of sleep or stress worry,and I address it
It's not an accident that almost 100% of diabetic patients have high BP coming along.
When we speak of one the other is also there. ;-)
Got high blood pressure other stuff and don't ever worry about it
Yes, me too. So true
Another great teaching Dr Boz - Happy 52nd birthday tomorrow and I hope you feel better soon! I appreciate all you do to teach on a regular basis!
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.
Followup; blood pressure and glucose levels were quickly brought under control.
Dr. Boz, thank you for sharing your video. Coverage is remarkable. Tips are valuable & helpful.
Happy birthday, Annette! You're a true blessing!🎉🎉
Happy Birthday, Dr. Boz! Wishing you a great year ahead. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Normal pressure: 100/60
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.
I feel very grateful of knowing this connection today! It makes much sense!
Happy Birthday, I'm senior T2D near Tampa, trying to improve my A1C lab results. Enjoy your Tuesday lectures.
Happy Birthday, Dr Boz! Had my 56 th on the 18th! Thanks for this video...I have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure...and when my glucose is high so is my blood pressure! I have started a Omad keto lifestyle and it's really helping alot...plus I exercise every day.
Omad and keto works!
What is Omad?
@@user-id3gx2ye7o One meal a day
What kind of name is shoopman ?
If you married me you could have my last name.
Much enjoyed this video on BP. Thank you Dr. Bosworth .
Happy belated birthday! ❣ Thank you for this very good explanation of blood pressure.
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 just don't trust the medical studies. I don't know what to do.
I agree that blood pressure should go up as you age, but 250/150 is crazy high and can cause organ damage. You say your kidneys are shot due to the meds, but its due to the high blood pressure.
I was also told that, but I have other problems that cause sudden spikes to 240/120, so I am on 3 meds. The cardiologist told me that sudden spikes are far more dangerous than consistently high pressure. When my BP is "normal", I am so dizzy I can't do anything. 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. Pulse pressure is the difference between the 2 numbers.
I'm 60 and take no meds and mines always right at 120 over 80. I eat all sorts of things and think the body has to have a good salt to survive
Have you tried eating a grapefruit a day? That is suppose to regulate BP.
White coat effect... *MY* doctor absolutely DID step out of her office for about 5-10m specifically to allow me to do some relaxation and settle down and it totally worked! BP went down a huge amount to the 'normal' levels I see at home. So awesome when a doctor _gets it_ and works with and for the patient. Kudos to the doctors at One Medical in San Francisco!
Same thing with me! I have "White Coat" syndrome also. My BP always has to be taken twice at the doctor's office .
White coat effects me also , just being in a doctors office
I experience anxiety before going to the white coat to get my inhaler refilled each year. Last appt BP was high. 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.
@@joanntebo2835 Please look into the book Natural Cures They Don't Want you To Know by Kevin Trudeau. You will learn so much and what a farce BP readings are.
Undiagnosed sleep apnea was my problem. Upon using a cpap went right to normal. Sleep studies are SOOOOO IMPORTANT
Doctor Boz, thank you for what you do. This is very helpful information.
Happy Birthday, Dr. Boz! Another great teaching!
Thank you Dr Boz. I’m on it. This has hit me hard and I’m going to do this by lowering my blood soar today. Happy birthday 🎂🎁🎉 xxxxx ❤❤❤
Happy birthday ! …first time I’ve heard you speak, very helpful and informative
Happy Birthday to you. Thank you for sharing this information. Hope the cold didn't last long.
Two things natural to lower blood pressure. Magnesium. Also an hibiscus tea.
Not true .
Beetroot juice & ground almonds
@@venice1115 beetroot,.. definitely.
I am taking both and also B3 as a form of Nicinemide, That is giving me so much energy.
Plus celery.
Such an eye-opening video! Understanding that there are factors beyond just salt that impact blood pressure is crucial. 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!
Dr Boz you are a star, thank you for this. The truth is at 18 minutes and 18 seconds of this presentation, in case you don't have time for it all. What Dr Boz says in those few minutes is hugely important for western world health.
Voiding (urinating) before you take your blood pressure can decrease your BP as much as 20 points. Feet flat on the ground,
At the doctor's office, you are on the table, legs dangling and arm low and that's how they take it, even the dr.
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.

It's good to give blood, especially men and intermittent fasting as it gets rid of tired old blood.Boosts cells,muscles,organs...boost immune system

Ginger capsules about 10 to 15 minutes b4 you eat - betcha that will settle your tummy. Take it with at least 6 oz of WARM water. My grandma was a big fan of ginger root.
Happy birthday Dr Boz! ❤ God bless you!! I’ve learned so much with your channel and books!
So glad I’ve found you 🎉🎉
First time listen. Thank you. I have the heart stiffness that you discussed in last question (non-relaxing heart muscle) already diagnosed and confirmed for a few years, but have had very low blood pressure for my entire life. Would this contradict your causal explanation? Only recently (last year) started developing high blood pressure. I’m 66. (In Cape Town, South Africa).
This is my first time on your channel. Thank you for showing diagrams while explaining. For a layperson it is just so complicated to understand when being told. I've just subscribed and want to learn more. I have so many questions.
Happy Birthday Dr. Boz from a fellow Nov 29er! Blood pressure has been my nemesis since my mid thirties - been trying so hard to fix with this with keto diet and exercise, because every time I visit a standard american doctor it's nothing but an ongoing argument with them.
White coat syndrome is a real thing!
Not to mention they still push "Heart healthy" grains like it's 1990. Grains are the the ones to reduce or just drop. Sometimes I think they are trying to keep people sick with bad diets.
A grapefruit a day will take care of it. Grapefruits help regulate blood pressure!!!
@@georgeshepherd3381Yes, that is a real thing. When you visit the doctor, pressure should be taken at the beginning of the visit and at the end….. nine times out of ten, the second time they take it, it will be lower
The worry over the visit itself will be non existent by that time, therefore: a lower reading
I’ve been on blood pressure medication for many years since I was a teen.
Recently started keto and within weeks had to stop all BP med.
Will never eat carbs again .
Carnivore now so feeling very very good.
It's not "carbs". It's processed trash. I'm on a whole foods plant base diet eating almost 660g of carbohydrates per day that come packaged with around 80g of fiber. My BP is alway low 90s over low 60s.
@@jameslittle5214 for some of us who are very insulin resistant, keeping all carbs below 20, sometimes below 10/day is what is needed. Each person is different, we each have to find what works for us.
Very explained thanks
@@jameslittle5214James, I'm curious how old are you, and what part of the world did your ancestors traditionally live?
@@michaelgreen3036 45. Mostly European(English, Scottish, French, German, Dutch) with some Native American(great grandparent on one side, and great-great-great on the other). English line coming to America as early as 1600s. Most of the rest in late 1800s. My paternal grandmother's family fled Germany during WWI about 10 years before she was born.
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
Thank you for making this video!!! GREAT information!
I sure wish your youtube channel counted towards Continuing Education.
I love your subject matter and delivery!!
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?
Same with asthma inhalers while they are spraying our atmosphere with barium, strontium and aluminum in what is known as geoengineering. Chemtrails. People get sick from the fall out of these toxic heavy metals. Then they can say it is the fake virus.
I 've been experimented on myself to reduce BP by eating food with high potassium, 3000-4500mg per pay, take Magnesium 340mg per day, drink apple cider vinegar before breakbast and bed times, take multi-VitB and as well as Vit. B1- 300mg/day, VIT.K2-180mg with 3000 IU Vit.D3. Also drink cucurmin golden milk with black pepper before bed. Drink lemon & ginger & garlic shot in the morning before breakfast and 1 cod liver oil & 1500mg Krill oil. I amd gradually reducing my intake of statin and arthritic medications. I do gentle exercise 15- 20 minutes in the morning ,walk my dog for 30 minutes after lunch and do Yoga for 15-20 minutes before bed. I am feeling much better now and hope to improve my health . I'm 73 y.o.
@@chickenlittle829 Probably 😂
yeah thats to get you on statens, and any meds with suffix pril at the end has venom in them !throw away all your pharmacuticle meds, been poisening us with meds for years
Much love and appreciation for this presentation. Thank you.
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.
Happy Birthday Dr Boz. Have a great trip around the sun!
Finally someone who makes sense! Have been trained in artery/heart disease/diet since I was age four. My numbers are always in the best lower range..
Your studies/info and diet advice are excellent, great referral to my fiance (or anyone 😊) who had stroke/heart/blood pressure challenges.
The biggest challenge is getting people to budge, change their diet/taste buds "likes" for the better without sacrifing taste.
Happy birthday! You look incredibly youthful and you obviously practice what you preach. Thank you for sharing very beneficial information.
Thank you doctor! Your effort is greatly appreciated.
I have a friend who had high blood pressure, I switched her from SAD to carnivore and increased her salt Redmonds salt. Weight is coming off and blood pressure is back to normal
What is salt about.. In food or on own. Why as salt not recommend by medicl
120 over 70
I don't understand that bit about salt..brand n how to take it
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.
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.
U are great. Everything you talk about is explained excellently. Thank you
Happy belated Birthday, Dr. Boz.
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!
Have you gotten rid of wifi in your home? Wifi radiation causes migranes and so do the LED lights. I have NONE of it in my home. Computer is hardwired using an ethernet cord and I have corded land lines. An emergency flip phone for in my car. (burner phone) and have had no microwave for over 20 years. You would be amazed at how good your body feels.
Dr. Ken Berry showed me that I have secondary HBP.
Chronic Pain causes the adrenal gland to raise the blood pressure.
Happy Birthday Dr Boz!🎉
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.
My husband lives off of bad carbs and sugar. His blood pressure numbers are always great! Annoying for me who has always had high blood pressure.
Genetics are very important, but our society is bent on denying that fact. Every adult on both sides of my family has high BP, and the thin, calm ones have it just as much as the heavy nervous ones! 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!
My husband was the same way, his bp is still fine but we just found out he has very high blood sugar, he’s in his early 60’s so it took him awhile…tell your husband it may catch up to him one day !
Happy Birthday! We have the same birthday! 🎉 What are these MCT capsules I keep seeing people mention on here? Do you have a website with supplements or something I’ve missed? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I genuinely appreciate it and I need as much education on this topic as possible! I’m a Registered Nurse, but I work from home, I’m not a traditional nurse as most people think of nurses, since I’m in the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain industry. I desperately need to get my blood pressure and blood sugar levels down! I’ll be 44 tomorrow and I’m hoping it’s not too late to reverse some of the damage my unhealthy lifestyle has caused. I feel so stupid, knowing I know better, but I’ve neglected myself and taken care of everyone else. I just recently quit smoking cigarettes too. Better late than never, I guess? But I’m still so disappointed in myself for the choices I’ve made since my 20’s… all of these health issues could have been prevented in my case, for the most part anyway. Does anyone else beat themselves up over preventable diseases they’ve brought upon themselves? I know it doesn’t help or change anything, but I just can’t help but to blame myself because I absolutely knew better. Now I’ve gotten myself into quite a mess with my health status & taking 6 Rx medications. 🤦🏼♀️😞
Don’t bet yourself up! Today is the first day of the rest of your life! Keto on and good luck
MCT is part of the fat from coconut oil. It’s used to increase ketone in the body. Usually people call it MCT oil.
Hi! Is never too late to start!! Just do it and within no time you will start dropping those RX! Congrats on starting a healthy lifestyle!
Get yourself a friend to act as a coach! You can do this !
This is absolutely true as I found it out when I started to cut back on all carbohydrates. I was amazingly surprised when I saw my stubbornly high blood pressure dropped from 140 to less than 120! I didn't really follow any keto diet but just reduced my intake of carbohydrates.
Just came across your Channel and I just love it Thankyou 🙌🏾❤
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.

I’ve had high blood pressure since my early 30s. Always worked out and maintained a healthy weight. Every time I go on keto it drops drastically within a day or 2. I always assumed it was because it drys me out. This video opened my eyes a lot more, going to stick with keto from now on.
Carbs and sugar causes high blood pressure not salt.
@@nataliegist2014 Nonsense.
@@JeffC-fq1be Go back to 1990 and believe your "heart healthy" grains pyramid diet should being pushed.
Dr. Boz, Wow, I watched the whole video and found it super informative, relative, and helpful. My BP is averaging 140's/80's and sometimes higher. This information you provided is very helpful for me to partner with my cardiologist and be a plan to have as little meds as possible but goal is to reduce blood pressure. Thank you so much for your video. Greg and my Cat Emma.
Try eating a grapefruit a day. That is suppose to help regulate BP.
No way, never grapefruit if you are on meds!! Interacts with drugs, bad reactions!!
@@francafran6565 Get off meds. That is the point! I was once on 4 different meds. Off of all of them. I'm almost 66 no meds. Great health. I have 3 autoimmune disorders and treat all homeopathically and have been in remission for over 20 years!!!
@@francafran6565would you rather be on meds or eat a grapefruit...thats the point
My morning sugar level is always 77 to 97, and I have been on high blood medication for 25 years. How low does my sugar level need to be, to have normal blood pressure? Doctor, are you 100% sure that lowering blood sugar is affecting blood pressure? Are there any studies?
I have secondary hypertension.
Can you speak of that.
My blood pressure doesn't respond to meds .
Happy Birthday! TYVM Hope you feel better soon. Just a little reminder you probably already know, zinc and lysine sometimes help with cold sores. Ginger is another good one. I do not have added salt but it is in a lot of food and I am small 110 so far-need to lose a little more. Salt is a great preservative and necessary. Thanks again.
My mom was plagued with frequent cold sores for years. She started taking lysine supplement and never had a cold sore again.
for years my blood pressure was 140 over 90 ish ,,doc freeked and tried to put me on meds,, i refused ..last month i was diagnosed with diabetes and once again doc tried giving meds
Try Cayenne Pepper Olive Oil Apple Cider Vinegar you can find it on TH-cam Doctor Mandell,,it's done wonders for me,,I'm 70
The numbers for blood pressure allowed can be higher with age anyway. A few years ago they said numbers should be lower than they were previously.
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.
Norvasc is evil. Years ago I nearly died on it. I couldn't even get a lawyer to see my medical records showing malpractice due to that calcium channel blocker. Worst bp drug ever.
Any luck? You go carnivore?
@@theancientsam No not immediately. At the time my Dr just changed my blood pressure meds to another kind which did not have the same bad side effect for a hypoparathyroid person like me and I've been on them for quite a while. However, just this year I have been learning more about carni and have been trying out keto and fasting. This is because I really want to ditch blood pressure & cholesterol meds. Tired of Drs pushing meds 🙄
Dr. Bos would you please discuss the Rice diet and work of Dr. Walter Kempner who successfully treated malignant hypertension, kidney disease, and obesity with a diet of rice, fruit, and table sugar? I would really enjoy and appreciate your insights because his diet worked as you may already know based on his published papers.
I am a 79 y.o. Disabled homeless Veteran. Ran my last marathon at the age of 65. I have been diagnosed with hbp by the VA since about my2010. Just about a year ago they started prescribing meds. I have been a carnivore since Jan. 7, 2023. I was in the hospital in September because of a mini stroke; they checked my blood sugar level; it was in the "great" range. 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. My BP yesterday A.M. was 128/77 and P.M. was 147/77.
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.
Hopefully you don’t use mouth wash. If so do some research on the damage it does to your health
Are these studies not run by big pharma who year on year keep lowering the bp safety so they can get more of us on there toxic chemical pills which lower bp artificially .pills only mask the problem which is why you start on one pill then dose increase then another pill and then another.
Happy Birthday Dr. Boz!
Remarkable! Such a wonderful video! Thank you for caring. 💜
It’s sugar and seed oils ;) learned it from dr berg
My blood pressure is 185/110 I have lower my sugar and carbs significantly but still very high.
Thats too high, take important steps to get it lower.
Hi Dr. Boz, I have been taking blood pressure medications in my 20’s and now I’m 59-60, nothing seems to control it with less meds. Your thoughts on that.
Happy birthday Dr. Boz
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?
130 isn't bad. 140 is pre hypertension, 150+ is hypertension.
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!
Good luck.Keep moving ,that’s the most important thing.Cheers.
Do fasting for 16 hours and eating for 8 hours you then should be able to fix both hypertension as well as cholesterol. Good luck.
What is the medical called Metopolol and what does it do? I take 1/2 of25 mg.
Thank you! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, always struggled with high blood pressure, one time I did fasting and noticed my blood pressure went down considerably, nowadays I keep the sweets away, and drink my apple cedar vinegar in the evening, it helps lowering glucose levels in the blood.
Are you talking about high blood sugar or high blood pressure?
blood pressure@@BestLifeMD
Best to use applecider vinegar is with avocado or EVOO oil in the salad and not before bedtime. Acid on empty stomach don't do it.
@BestLifeMD, she is advising that glucose levels could be the cause of the high blood pressure.
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.
how do we lower aldosterone?
@@LemonLimes99 adequate potassium and sodium intake
What Potassium substitute ? Thanks.
@@mjmc I buy NuSalt or any of the other potassium salt substitutes myself.
Any one else in love with Dr. Boz❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the determination. Thank you, Doc.
What causes white coat effects my blood pressure is usually high with doctor. 170/110
My blood pressure this morning was 114 /75 im 52 years old on carnivore diet
Happy Birthday Dr. Boz.
120/80 has been said to be normal BP...
Unfortunately, I have chronic pain, which increases with movement throughout the day. This increases my BP.
I've been taking lisinopril to help it stay lower, but nothing decreases BP when pain is exacerbated. I'm diabetic, but I do eat keto. Glucose levels have been much lower & closer to WNL.
I hope your illness healed quickly & were finally able to celebrate your birthday. Hope this year is happy & healthy.🎉
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 ❤.
Is the damage to arteries irreversible? Or can you heal keeping your glucose low and BP in control? I've had slightly high blood pressure most of my adult life, just getting it under control through weight loss (keto and fasting) in the last few years.
My BP was 140 over 40 for years,Iot my weight down( (85 pounds), now with lifestyle change, no overeating quit smoking and drinking , and now its past time 120 over 30, I Wish you were my doctor. Thanks for your inputs. Im on a statin called atorvastatin and bp meds called metoperol and lycinapril amalodapine combo, what can I do to improve more Doctor? Best regards , Amy
Happy Birthday Dr. B
