A dozen + cardiologist over 25 years overlooked the cause of my hypertension, despite 2 of my symptoms which are the markers. Low potassium and medically resistant high blood pressure. 5 minutes with an internist who looked at the 8 meds I was taking and zeroed in on the low potassium. My adrenal glands were producing to much aldosterone. He weaned me off all the other meds and put me Spironolactone. Hypertension gone, under control for the last 22 years.
@@tanyabrice2065About 10% of the population has this, but it's worth a blood test to see if you're one of them. It's life changing when you find a cause and treatment.

@rjpoetry3319 my Internist Dr. Found it, my Nephrologist manages it. 2 symptoms of it are chronically low Potassium (even when taking prescribed Potassium supplements) medically resistant high BP (taking multiple BP Meds but still have high BP) Spironolactone is the med I take to control the BP. It's a slow acting med and can take weeks-months to show an improvement. It has to be monitored closely and doses increased in small amounts. Take to much and your BP can drop very low.

Were you ever involved in an accident that resulted in whiplash? If so, then you could have cervical instability which causes problems with the vagus nerve which then leads to many autoimmune issues including dysautonomia and gut related issues that can cause all the issues you are having except for the ones you were born with.

Today is Aug 14 2024. I really want to thank you! With all my heart! I could of died of a heart attack because the doctors here in canada don't want to start with these simple vitamins and minerals. Just want to push the high blood pressure pills. I have been taking these supplements for 3 days and my BP has gone from 150/105 to and it would even be higher at times now it's 129/88. I'm sure these numbers will improve even more as soon at tomorrow. Aug 15th 2024
Most docs in the west, I'm not sure about eastern countries, like to always push anything from big pharma. Rather than give us cause of the root of our problems which mainly is our diet, they just whip out the script pad! Canada isn't the only country where the health care system is letting us down in a lot of ways!
Hi Dr. Berg, Thank you so much for your knowledge and inspiration. I am currently on a prolonged fast (13 day’s and counting). I feel so much healthier and clear in my head. Also lost a lot of weight, wich makes me so happy. Feeling really proud, selfconfident and intelligent . After fasting i’m switching to the Keto diet, wich is really new to me. So excited! If i had known decades ago about this diet, i had switched a long time ago. My head is full of recipes and other plans. For example: i started to grow my own herbs and veggies. Planning to store them in winter time. And plans to grow veggies in the winter. Also switched completely to organic food, wich i order direct at local farms. So now i get a whole cow, chickens etc. Also the fish is caught in the wild. Looking forward to eat these delicious foods!! I’m planning to give my garden a mediterranean inspiration. So i want to get a fig tree, and eat some fresh figs. I’ve noticed that the figs are a bit high in fructose but have a good dose of potassium amongst other minerals etc. So my question is: does this fruit (fresh) fit in a Keto diet? Much love, Miranda. (From the Netherlands)
Well done to look after yourself If you are fasting just to loose weight no other health issues that's fine, but if you really want to excel about your health, don't get busy adding more problems in your life in search for fresh veggies. Just have a look in to carnivore diet, simple life.(Dr Anthony chaffee)
Dr. Berg, I have asked for this topic repeatedly. Please talk about open pores on the face, what is their treatment, and also talk about milia under the eyes, and also talk about soft pimples on the face, what is their treatment.
This makes sense. I have high blood pressure for years. In 2011 I went to see a doctor because of it. I craved doritos and constantly ate it. The doctor told me no more doritos for you. I made a drastic change in the food I ate. Two weeks later after losing 5 pound there was improvement. Now I take potassium with my high blood pressure medicine, because of my other doctor. I also take magnesium. I will get the zinc and take it. Thank you!
00:00 🩺 Zinc deficiency is a significant but often overlooked cause of hypertension. 00:57 🗺 Southern states in the US, which have higher rates of hypertension and strokes, also exhibit zinc deficiency in their soils. 02:06 💊 Sodium reduction alone may not alleviate hypertension; zinc deficiency can exacerbate the problem. 03:29 🍽 Medications like ACE inhibitors and diuretics commonly used for hypertension can deplete zinc levels. 04:08 🍔 Zinc plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including nitric oxide production, antioxidant synthesis, and leptin regulation. 04:35 🚫 Factors contributing to zinc deficiency include poor soil quality, dietary habits, and impaired absorption.
Hypertension can also be from distress. Distress from a sickness. Gastrointestinal issues can raise your BP, blood glucose and increase your A1C. It happened to me. Three months of Gastrointestinal misery. Everything is normal now.
Hello, Dr. Berg. Can do a video for low blood pressure? My wife has always had low blood pressure and her Doctor has always said you need more sodium. It would be great to know the reason and solution. Thank you. Love your knowledge and your kindness to help people with solutions other than pills.
Isn't a low blood pressure a good thing? I heard most of the top athletes have slightly lower pressure than whats considered normal for an average healthy person.
We love a king who has staff who reads ours comments and listens. My potassium was normal when they recently tried to put me on blood pressure medication. But I do live in the south, I don’t eat meat only chicken and turkey and I don’t eat fish. I will try to find a zinc supplement And get in shape. I refuse to take all these pills from Bug pharma rather than get to the root issue of our problems. Thank you so so much.
Curious to know your vitamin B6 levels ? Chicken is a protien besides pork that elevates your b6 the most. Not in a good way either. If you don't mind, why don't you eat Red meat? Are you also on Keto too?
I've been testing my blood pressure almost daily for a couple decades with a home tester and I've always been 120/80. I'm in my mid 40's and work outside almost every day so I probably get more sun than I need. Over the last year or so I've started incorporating more nuts (pecan, walnut, cashew) regularly into my diet hoping to get more magnesium and my bp has dropped to 110/80 or less. Snacking on these and jerky I also tend to eat quite a bit less at meal time and have lost 10lb or so over the last six months.
Many health boffins recommend pumpkin seeds as a source for extra zink. Also good for males with prostrate problems. Also with consuming certain nuts and flaxseed powder or oil.
Note that this is not limited to Copper. Dr. Berg always recommends adding "ALL trace minerals" and taking them on and off when treating just one trace mineral deficiency. So for example, if you have a boron deficiency you should take extra doses of Boron x2-3 its DV + an all-encompassing Trace Mineral Complex daily for two weeks, then get off for the next two weeks, and take it again for another two weeks etc.
Correct, but not in ALL cases like an active infection. During an active infection you can literally take upwards of 250mg of zinc per day because your body is using it to fight the infection. During COVID I was recommending 250MG of zinc citrate, 2700mg NAC, and 20mg Zyrtec daily and 90% of people felt better within 3 days and tested negative within 7 days. This was a 5 day protocol and works every time regardless of underlying medical issues. There is a reason this combo works, but too much to explain here....BTW, I've trained in functional medicine for over a decade with nearly 30 years in healthcare.
Good video. While a lot less people likely have hypotension, low blood pressure, id like to see a video on this as well. It definitely has its risks as well
I remember Zn supplements being given to patients during the hospitalizations during the Covid 19 year of 2020, 2021. When the loss of sense of smell was the first symptom of of getting Covid!
Good stuff.. actually teaching ppl the right way.. Instead of most doctors just trying give you a bandaid instead of actually fixing the problem and fixing it the right way
How did you find out about having too much aldosterone? I am a young stroke survivor. My blood pressure was too high! I have to take spirolactone for my Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome again. Thanks for the reminder! My pressure was high again today.
I had just turned 46 and I’m menopausal, dealing with the list of my husband; I went for my physical abd my dr was adamant about prescribing me meds for the high blood pressure. I told him that I usually fast and will walk more. Especially every day, walking with my teen daughter to school. He literally told me to get used to taking meds because as we age, everyone will need meds. That turned me TF off. I went to get my vitamin d and iron prescription, which I rather purchase myself, there was a prescription for 5mg of hbd meds. I refuse to take it!!! I bought a blood pressure monitor cup, monitor my sodium intake( it’s LITERALLY IN EVERYTHING) and walk and drink water, as well as my vitamin regimen and this has helped a ton. I clearly see that these doctors, ignore, gaslight and talk to patients in a very condescending manner. They’re not to be trusted!!!
Thank you those dr. Get something in there head and you can go fu. You take there pills it effects something else they won't tell you. Best thing for me is fasting walking eating right. Throw away the pills.
Thank you Dr. Berg! Being a boxing/personal trainer and as well as nutrition coach, you’ve been one of my main go-to channels to help me stay on top of my overall nutrition awareness and as well sharing facts and not scare-tactics.
I was diagnosed with hypertension due to hypothyroidism and insulin resistance. Endocrinologist took me off of bp pill and put me on Inositol. Now my bp stays regular, and lowers my blood sugar also. Two for one
I've had hypertension for years, doctors only found out recently after I was suffering from insomnia, anxiety, and palpitations. I'm 48 and thought I was going through peri menopausal symptoms. My readings were stupidly high, sometimes 246/174 without any symptoms - no chest pain, dizziness, blurred vision, etc. I went on a diet and ate salad, vegetables, juiced beetroot, carrots, apples, and celery. Ate fruit. Cut down on processed foods to very minimal amounts. And used himalyian pink salt. I'd take supplements, cod liver oil, magnesium, ashwagandha to try and chill me out. It made no difference to my readings - I kept a blood pressure diary for a week and ended up hospitalised with hypertension urgency. Physically, there's nothing wrong with me, my blood work is fine, I'm not diabetic, ECG- showed anxiety, chest x ray clear, except I have awful anxiety. I'm now on two lots of blood pressure medication. My readings have actually come down to a decent level for me and pulse is fine.
I think that high blood pressure is very dangerous and this is beyond dispute, but pressure surges are also a problem because they probably lead to micro-strokes.
Last couple of years from your TH-cam posting on the benefits of Keto seemed attractive. Of course in the end it's my responsibility to accept your advice or not. I believe Keto diet was detrimental to my Blood Pressure and gratefully I found "Plant Based diet" an excellent substitute and now happily BP has been dramatically reduced to a very healthy level and I feel so much better.
High blood pressure runs deep in my family. I'm on Amlodipine/Valsa, which is 320MG. That didn't bring it, so they added Chlorthalidone. Now my blood pressure is back at 120/80.
It’s because some people have the MTHFR gene. You Can’t methylate B vitamins and other amino acids so you will be anxious and have high blood pressure. You have a protein in your body called homocysteine. when you can’t methylate that protein it becomes high in your blood, and constrict your blood vessels. You can take SAMe supplement for your anxiety. The methylated B vitamins, lower homocystine In essence curing your high blood pressure. You never had a problem with your heart or blood vessels. You just can’t methylate B vitamins. You need to supplement with L-Methionine, that will help immensely lower your anxiety level. It also helps clean your liver out. Also Nattokinase is a big game changer, but do not take it with blood thinners. Also look into L-arginine
Oxford University research done about 17 years ago has found those that walked or exercised after midday up to before night time reduced their blood pressure in the morning compared to those that workout in the mornings that reduced not theit blood pressure mornings when it's at highest in most people.
My last GP changed the prescription (medicines only) after realising the given medicines not working as expected. And Added Vitamin C with Zinc for better performance.
My blood pressure is crazy it goes up and down. This just recently started happening. I'm trying to do everything naturally, but I'm not sure what's going on with me.
I've taking anti-acids and antibiotics for months. Because I had severe bacterial infection from my teeth that I had to endure for months. What zinc supplements should I buy to increase zinc? And how much?
@rses916 One of the 2 predictors of hyperaldosteronism is medically resistant high BP. Your primary can order a simple blood test and a nephrologist can treat it. My sisters (2) also have it. One of the sisters cardiologist when told it seemed to run in the family, threw his hands up and said "whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm a cardiologist, you need to see a nephrologist about stuff like that"
Fantastic video! The author does an excellent job of highlighting a crucial but often overlooked cause of hypertension. Clear, informative, and eye-opening. Well done!
I'm curious how coffee (caffeine) affects high blood pressure. My BP went abnormally high one day, and it seemed caffeine made it much worse. I've cut it out for 2 weeks, and I haven't felt off anymore but BP still averages around 130.
100% WORKS. After 12+ hours of traveling, my grandmas blood pressure was 180/90. Did the breathing with her for 5 minutes- new pressure 140/70...!!!!! To say i was completely shocked is an understatement. [Used a manual blood pressure monitor, so I'm sure of the differences]
Thank you very much for the information, Dr. Berg. I would like to ask you a question and I would appreciate it if you could answer it. Some doctors say that when you are on a ketogenic diet, the liver gets very tired when it converts fat into sugar. Is there any truth to this claim or is it just a rumor.
Unfortunately, my HBP is uncommon. When my BP is normal by medical standards, it's high for me. My doctors had me on vitamin D and potassium. The D didn't do anything and the potassium made me very dizzy and caused vertigo. I'm on an extremely low dose of lisinopril. That seems to be helping.
Caffeine. My dentist detected my high BP, and sent me to an oral surgeon for some extractions. My BP spiked after taking the stairs to the 3rd floor for the surgery, but my BP was raging, so needed a medical doctor to clear me for the procedure. The M.D. asked very few general questions and then wrote a prescription for BP meds. I will not take those killers, but instead, quit caffeine. I drink a pot of coffee in the morning, and the caffeine was really screwing with me, I guess. My pressure is much closer to normal after a few weeks of decaf, and I will never see that "doctor" again.
I tried fasting, keto, walking and my BP was still high. So I went to the doctor and was put on medication. The first stuff I was put on just gave me a horrible headache and didn't lower my BP at all.
Dr. Berg, I've watched almost all of your videos about PCOS and insulin resistence. I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 17, and my menstrual cycles have always been irregular. After watching your videos, I suspected insulin resistance might be the cause of my PCOS. I stopped using birth control pills for cycle regulation and adopted a keto diet. After 1-2 months on keto, I took a HOMA IR test, which showed that my insulin levels were already in the normal range indicated by dark green color. So insulin resistence seemed not to be what was causing my PCOS. However, interestingly, during the initial phase of the keto diet, I experienced regular cycles for the first time ever, despite not being insulin resistant. However, after the third month, my cycles became irregular again despite maintaining the keto diet. I am lean (52 kg, 166 cm) and exhibit all PCOS symptoms except weight gain. I have always been sedentary and consumed a lot of bread and dairy, particularly dairy since childhood. Cutting out dairy during the keto diet did not sustain the regular cycles. My blood tests revealed high anti-Mullerian hormone levels, but FSH, LH, and dehydrotestosterone were within normal ranges. Given my situation, do you have any advice or guidence on how i can manage my PCOS. Thank you very much for your amazing channel and for sharing your expertise with others.
A lean female may have PCOS. Clinical diagnosis is more important than lab values. With the initiation of ketogenic diet Insulin level is expected to fall. Probably you were Insulin Resistant before starting ketogenic Diet. Ketogenic Diet regularised your cycle initially. This is a proof that dietary change helped you much. Be persistent with ketogenic diet and try to lower your tension. Nothing is gained overnight. Consult an Endocrinologist. Anyway what is your actual Insulin level?
Yesterday I participated in a medical research study at age 66 and my BP was 109/60. The testers were very impressed lol. But I have always craved and eaten salted pepitas which are Mexican origin roasted pumpkin seeds. Guess it helped! Who knew?!
Dr Berg I started taking garlic oil and oregano oil supplements on your request for a healthy body and to my surprise my blood pressure that was elevated has gone down to a normal range. What could be the reason for that great news and I'm feeling better also. I really didn't expect such positive results so fast in less than a week it went down and has stayed that way. Once again thank you Dr Berg 🙏🏼. Patiently waiting for your response...

In checking your bp, make sure you have both feet on the ground, your arm is extended with palm out and your lower arm is resting on a table and not dangling down, you are not talking, have had time to rest, you have not had any caffeine within an hour, and they are applying the bp directly on your skin for a better reading.
You shld consider asking Dr. for a referral to a Cardiologist. You want to find out the cause, rule out other serious issues, & make sure you are taking the correct type of med. Also weight gain, smoking, drinking, birth control, & genetics can cause HBP. That’s what usually happens, you get it out of nowhere. It’s called the “Silent Killer” many have 0 symptoms, and do not take the diagnosis seriously. I know from life experience. My mom had high blood pressure. She was not taking her meds. She was getting warning signs of headaches. Pain is the body’s warning system. She would go to the ER. The DR’s would not let her leave, until her BP was stable. I am sure they warned her. Her visits were became more frequent. I was living on my own & was not witnessing what going prior to her ER visits. One day my younger brother called me described my mom in distress I immediately knew it was a stroke. I was correct. Her blood vessels in her brain could no longer take the pressure & ruptured, It caused bleeding on her brain, & that is serious w/ many complications. She was 47. There are also strokes that are caused by blood clots, if an individual goes to the hospital immediately, there are meds that can dissolve the clot/clots. The HBP was passed to me. I was diagnosed at a young age. I did not smoke. I was not overweight. I was told by a neurologist who said that he could tell by the blood vessels in my eyes “I can tell that you had it for a long time.” I was only 21. I went to the library checked out books, educated myself. I found a Internal Medicine Dr. on my 1st visit she changed my BPM & told me that my potassium was low. The Doctor is correct. I still needed more answers. It took me 20+ years of persistence to find out I was born with a genetic condition MHTFR and it causes high homocysteine levels. I also seen a Cardiologist, had a full thorough exam that included stress test, imaging, ekg’s, labs, ultrasounds, & heart monitoring. It was scary and overwhelming. My Cardiologist said, “your heart is fine, you only have anxiety. The anxiety is a symptom of MHTFR. I have a specialist a Hematologist, because it is considered a blood mutation. I received a gene from each parent at birth. Hopefully this information can help someone else.
YOU ARE CORRECT DOCTOR BERG 👍👍👍. My friend is going through this right now. It shows in her nails. She can't smell or taste food that well, always adding salt. She is probably deficient in other vitamins and minerals too.👍👍
6 years ago was told i have high blood pressure... been on pill since... still have issues once in while.. I was told to reduce my red meat way back then and i have ever since also cut the addition of salt to foods. i think i will add more red meat and more shrimp/oysters...

If so, then you could have cervical instability which causes problems with the vagus nerve which then leads to many autoimmune issues including dysautonomia and gut related issues that can cause all the issues you are having except for the ones you were born with.

🙏Dr Berg! Thanks.
In the pandemic time those who were infected lost their smell and taste. To overcome this problem doctors suggested Zincovit tablets.
lost my smell from coke not zink
In the ER when covid 1st came out the patients got a zinc tablet and ivermectin. Then the doctors stopped prescribing it. I worked in the er for 30 years but left the nursing profession after the covid/Corona virus nonsense.

Today is Aug 14 2024. I really want to thank you! With all my heart! I could of died of a heart attack because the doctors here in canada don't want to start with these simple vitamins and minerals. Just want to push the high blood pressure pills. I have been taking these supplements for 3 days and my BP has gone from 150/105 to and it would even be higher at times now it's 129/88. I'm sure these numbers will improve even more as soon at tomorrow. Aug 15th 2024
Most docs in the west, I'm not sure about eastern countries, like to always push anything from big pharma. Rather than give us cause of the root of our problems which mainly is our diet, they just whip out the script pad! Canada isn't the only country where the health care system is letting us down in a lot of ways!
Thanks doc...sitting at my breakfast counter having a coffee and just had the best medical consultation regarding HTN ever.
First thing you should do is quit drinking coffee. Caffeine causes blood vessels to contract and become narrower and make BP go up.
Hi Dr. Berg,
Thank you so much for your knowledge and inspiration. I am currently on a prolonged fast (13 day’s and counting). I feel so much healthier and clear in my head. Also lost a lot of weight, wich makes me so happy. Feeling really proud, selfconfident and intelligent .
After fasting i’m switching to the Keto diet, wich is really new to me. So excited! If i had known decades ago about this diet, i had switched a long time ago. My head is full of recipes and other plans. For example: i started to grow my own herbs and veggies. Planning to store them in winter time. And plans to grow veggies in the winter. Also switched completely to organic food, wich i order direct at local farms. So now i get a whole cow, chickens etc. Also the fish is caught in the wild. Looking forward to eat these delicious foods!!
I’m planning to give my garden a mediterranean inspiration. So i want to get a fig tree, and eat some fresh figs. I’ve noticed that the figs are a bit high in fructose but have a good dose of potassium amongst other minerals etc. So my question is: does this fruit (fresh) fit in a Keto diet?
Much love,
Miranda. (From the Netherlands)
Well done to look after yourself
If you are fasting just to loose weight no other health issues that's fine, but if you really want to excel about your health, don't get busy adding more problems in your life in search for fresh veggies.
Just have a look in to carnivore diet, simple life.(Dr Anthony chaffee)

Dr. Berg, I have asked for this topic repeatedly. Please talk about open pores on the face, what is their treatment, and also talk about milia under the eyes, and also talk about soft pimples on the face, what is their treatment.
Dr. Berg please talk about people who asked multiple questions in an obnoxious way!
Zinc! NOT Doritos.
Got it.
🤭
Damn eh
😂 Please be serious
100, wtf he talking bout
😂
Doritos my favorite ❤
This makes sense. I have high blood pressure for years. In 2011 I went to see a doctor because of it. I craved doritos and constantly ate it. The doctor told me no more doritos for you. I made a drastic change in the food I ate. Two weeks later after losing 5 pound there was improvement. Now I take potassium with my high blood pressure medicine, because of my other doctor. I also take magnesium. I will get the zinc and take it. Thank you!

Ty. First place i look for is a recapl lol
Dr. Berg missed one thing. You lose zinc through sweat. That might explain why the sunbelt states suffer this deficiency more.

Distress from a sickness. Gastrointestinal issues can raise your BP, blood glucose and increase your A1C.
It happened to me. Three months of Gastrointestinal misery. Everything is normal now.

Hello, Dr. Berg. Can do a video for low blood pressure? My wife has always had low blood pressure and her Doctor has always said you need more sodium. It would be great to know the reason and solution. Thank you. Love your knowledge and your kindness to help people with solutions other than pills.
Isn't a low blood pressure a good thing? I heard most of the top athletes have slightly lower pressure than whats considered normal for an average healthy person.
Too low is bad because blood doesnt get to the vital organs and brain. So heart has to work harder and becomes over stressed.

Eat the red meat. No legitimate reason not to.

I've been testing my blood pressure almost daily for a couple decades with a home tester and I've always been 120/80. I'm in my mid 40's and work outside almost every day so I probably get more sun than I need. Over the last year or so I've started incorporating more nuts (pecan, walnut, cashew) regularly into my diet hoping to get more magnesium and my bp has dropped to 110/80 or less. Snacking on these and jerky I also tend to eat quite a bit less at meal time and have lost 10lb or so over the last six months.
Why do you check your blood pressure almost daily when it's optimal?
@@RoughChopTom I visit my parents daily as I work next door and they have a tester. I check blood sugar once a month as well 😂

Also, if you go the supplement route make sure to balance zinc with adequate copper intake
You need a very small amount of copper.
Always remember if you take a zinc supplement that it container some copper or too much zinc will deplete copper.
🎉😂 1:52 p😢o 1:52 plo😢o
Note that this is not limited to Copper. Dr. Berg always recommends adding "ALL trace minerals" and taking them on and off when treating just one trace mineral deficiency. So for example, if you have a boron deficiency you should take extra doses of Boron x2-3 its DV + an all-encompassing Trace Mineral Complex daily for two weeks, then get off for the next two weeks, and take it again for another two weeks etc.
Got any lids for that container?!
Correct, but not in ALL cases like an active infection. During an active infection you can literally take upwards of 250mg of zinc per day because your body is using it to fight the infection. During COVID I was recommending 250MG of zinc citrate, 2700mg NAC, and 20mg Zyrtec daily and 90% of people felt better within 3 days and tested negative within 7 days. This was a 5 day protocol and works every time regardless of underlying medical issues. There is a reason this combo works, but too much to explain here....BTW, I've trained in functional medicine for over a decade with nearly 30 years in healthcare.

I had just turned 46 and I’m menopausal, dealing with the list of my husband; I went for my physical abd my dr was adamant about prescribing me meds for the high blood pressure. I told him that I usually fast and will walk more. Especially every day, walking with my teen daughter to school. He literally told me to get used to taking meds because as we age, everyone will need meds. That turned me TF off. I went to get my vitamin d and iron prescription, which I rather purchase myself, there was a prescription for 5mg of hbd meds. I refuse to take it!!!
I bought a blood pressure monitor cup, monitor my sodium intake( it’s LITERALLY IN EVERYTHING) and walk and drink water, as well as my vitamin regimen and this has helped a ton. I clearly see that these doctors, ignore, gaslight and talk to patients in a very condescending manner. They’re not to be trusted!!!
Thank you those dr. Get something in there head and you can go fu. You take there pills it effects something else they won't tell you. Best thing for me is fasting walking eating right. Throw away the pills.

I've had hypertension for years, doctors only found out recently after I was suffering from insomnia, anxiety, and palpitations. I'm 48 and thought I was going through peri menopausal symptoms. My readings were stupidly high, sometimes 246/174 without any symptoms - no chest pain, dizziness, blurred vision, etc. I went on a diet and ate salad, vegetables, juiced beetroot, carrots, apples, and celery. Ate fruit. Cut down on processed foods to very minimal amounts. And used himalyian pink salt. I'd take supplements, cod liver oil, magnesium, ashwagandha to try and chill me out. It made no difference to my readings - I kept a blood pressure diary for a week and ended up hospitalised with hypertension urgency. Physically, there's nothing wrong with me, my blood work is fine, I'm not diabetic, ECG- showed anxiety, chest x ray clear, except I have awful anxiety. I'm now on two lots of blood pressure medication. My readings have actually come down to a decent level for me and pulse is fine.
Beet root powder is Amazing!!!! Helps me....
How much you take ? And in what form ?
I think that high blood pressure is very dangerous and this is beyond dispute, but pressure surges are also a problem because they probably lead to micro-strokes.
Which zinc:
Zinc sulfate,zinc picolinate, zinc citrate, zinc acetate, zinc glycerate, and zinc monomethionine.
Zinc Citrate seems to be easier on your stomach.
Talk about caffeine causing increase in BP.
Thanks for this. So helpful. What's the best zinc supplement to take?
Last couple of years from your TH-cam posting on the benefits of Keto seemed attractive. Of course in the end it's my responsibility to accept your advice or not. I believe Keto diet was detrimental to my Blood Pressure and gratefully I found "Plant Based diet" an excellent substitute and now happily BP has been dramatically reduced to a very healthy level and I feel so much better.
Are you aware of the book 4 Blood Types, Eat Right for Your Type? It's an interesting concept.
And thanks Dr. Berg for your enlightening videos.
Interesting, in Turkey they drink salter yogurt drink during summer...called ayran.
High blood pressure runs deep in my family.
I'm on Amlodipine/Valsa, which is 320MG. That didn't bring it, so they added Chlorthalidone.
Now my blood pressure is back at 120/80.
It's not hereditary. Stopping eating the same junk as your family.
It’s because some people have the MTHFR gene. You Can’t methylate B vitamins and other amino acids so you will be anxious and have high blood pressure. You have a protein in your body called homocysteine. when you can’t methylate that protein it becomes high in your blood, and constrict your blood vessels. You can take SAMe supplement for your anxiety. The methylated B vitamins, lower homocystine In essence curing your high blood pressure. You never had a problem with your heart or blood vessels. You just can’t methylate B vitamins. You need to supplement with L-Methionine, that will help immensely lower your anxiety level. It also helps clean your liver out. Also Nattokinase is a big game changer, but do not take it with blood thinners. Also look into L-arginine
You Sir, said here something way more important than Berg’s original message in this video. You are absolutely correct.
Oxford University research done about 17 years ago has found those that walked or exercised after midday up to before night time reduced their blood pressure in the morning compared to those that workout in the mornings that reduced not theit blood pressure mornings when it's at highest in most people.
Adding a zinc supplement just makes sense..great for skin, nails, hair..for men..prostate..I take extra zinc, every day.
When people get dehydrated it's not due to lack of water it's due to lack of salt.
Salt has been demonized thus problems persist.
Sole water for cellular hydration
Your BP goes down when you take salt? How often do you have to do that?
@@Bambina336look up Barbara O'Neill Celtic sea salt videos. I couldn't find Celtic sea salt, so I use pink Himalayan salt.
@@Bambina336 I remember Dr. Albert Snow saying to put a half teaspoon of Celtic Sea salt in a tall glass of water and sip it throughout the day.

My last GP changed the prescription (medicines only) after realising the given medicines not working as expected.
And Added Vitamin C with Zinc for better performance.
My blood pressure is crazy it goes up and down. This just recently started happening. I'm trying to do everything naturally, but I'm not sure what's going on with me.
Doing HiiT for 16 minutes 3 days a week brought my BP down after 1 month.
I've taking anti-acids and antibiotics for months. Because I had severe bacterial infection from my teeth that I had to endure for months. What zinc supplements should I buy to increase zinc? And how much?

Check your aldosterone level
@rses916 One of the 2 predictors of hyperaldosteronism is medically resistant high BP.
Your primary can order a simple blood test and a nephrologist can treat it. My sisters (2) also have it. One of the sisters cardiologist when told it seemed to run in the family, threw his hands up and said "whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm a cardiologist, you need to see a nephrologist about stuff like that"

I'm curious how coffee (caffeine) affects high blood pressure. My BP went abnormally high one day, and it seemed caffeine made it much worse. I've cut it out for 2 weeks, and I haven't felt off anymore but BP still averages around 130.
100% WORKS. After 12+ hours of traveling, my grandmas blood pressure was 180/90. Did the breathing with her for 5 minutes- new pressure 140/70...!!!!! To say i was completely shocked is an understatement. [Used a manual blood pressure monitor, so I'm sure of the differences]
Zinc deficiency can also cause hypertension,interesting information thank you
Thank you I can't say this enough!
❤🙏 Thanks alot dr Berg 🙏. It's absolutely amazing for my dad
Appreciate your message, very glad it helps!
Thank you very much for the information, Dr. Berg. I would like to ask you a question and I would appreciate it if you could answer it. Some doctors say that when you are on a ketogenic diet, the liver gets very tired when it converts fat into sugar. Is there any truth to this claim or is it just a rumor.
Unfortunately, my HBP is uncommon. When my BP is normal by medical standards, it's high for me. My doctors had me on vitamin D and potassium. The D didn't do anything and the potassium made me very dizzy and caused vertigo. I'm on an extremely low dose of lisinopril. That seems to be helping.
I just started lisinopril 2.5 is that the lowest dose?makes me bit lightheaded
Caffeine.
My dentist detected my high BP, and sent me to an oral surgeon for some extractions.
My BP spiked after taking the stairs to the 3rd floor for the surgery, but my BP was raging, so needed a medical doctor to clear me for the procedure.
The M.D. asked very few general questions and then wrote a prescription for BP meds.
I will not take those killers, but instead, quit caffeine. I drink a pot of coffee in the morning, and the caffeine was really screwing with me, I guess.
My pressure is much closer to normal after a few weeks of decaf, and I will never see that "doctor" again.
Oral problems are more likely to give you a heart attack than high cholesterol and ldl. Another good reason to cut out sugars from your diet.
Is there any sure fire way to test if you have a zinc deficiency?
Wow! Never knew this. Thank you!!!!!!!
I tried fasting, keto, walking and my BP was still high. So I went to the doctor and was put on medication. The first stuff I was put on just gave me a horrible headache and didn't lower my BP at all.
Dr. Berg, I've watched almost all of your videos about PCOS and insulin resistence. I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 17, and my menstrual cycles have always been irregular. After watching your videos, I suspected insulin resistance might be the cause of my PCOS. I stopped using birth control pills for cycle regulation and adopted a keto diet. After 1-2 months on keto, I took a HOMA IR test, which showed that my insulin levels were already in the normal range indicated by dark green color. So insulin resistence seemed not to be what was causing my PCOS.
However, interestingly, during the initial phase of the keto diet, I experienced regular cycles for the first time ever, despite not being insulin resistant. However, after the third month, my cycles became irregular again despite maintaining the keto diet. I am lean (52 kg, 166 cm) and exhibit all PCOS symptoms except weight gain. I have always been sedentary and consumed a lot of bread and dairy, particularly dairy since childhood. Cutting out dairy during the keto diet did not sustain the regular cycles.
My blood tests revealed high anti-Mullerian hormone levels, but FSH, LH, and dehydrotestosterone were within normal ranges.
Given my situation, do you have any advice or guidence on how i can manage my PCOS.
Thank you very much for your amazing channel and for sharing your expertise with others.
A lean female may have PCOS. Clinical diagnosis is more important than lab values. With the initiation of ketogenic diet Insulin level is expected to fall. Probably you were Insulin Resistant before starting ketogenic Diet. Ketogenic Diet regularised your cycle initially. This is a proof that dietary change helped you much. Be persistent with ketogenic diet and try to lower your tension. Nothing is gained overnight. Consult an Endocrinologist. Anyway what is your actual Insulin level?

I never had HBP but now at 38 i got it out of nowhere. I'm very shocked cos I never had any issues with my health.
In checking your bp, make sure you have both feet on the ground, your arm is extended with palm out and your lower arm is resting on a table and not dangling down, you are not talking, have had time to rest, you have not had any caffeine within an hour, and they are applying the bp directly on your skin for a better reading.
Are you vaccinated with c19 vaccine
for me it was alcohol and now (too much) sugar - cut it out and I'm fine
You shld consider asking Dr. for a referral to a Cardiologist. You want to find out the cause, rule out other serious issues, & make sure you are taking the correct type of med. Also weight gain, smoking, drinking, birth control, & genetics can cause HBP. That’s what usually happens, you get it out of nowhere. It’s called the “Silent Killer” many have 0 symptoms, and do not take the diagnosis seriously.
I know from life experience. My mom had high blood pressure. She was not taking her meds. She was getting warning signs of headaches. Pain is the body’s warning system. She would go to the ER. The DR’s would not let her leave, until her BP was stable. I am sure they warned her. Her visits were became more frequent. I was living on my own & was not witnessing what going prior to her ER visits. One day my younger brother called me described my mom in distress I immediately knew it was a stroke. I was correct. Her blood vessels in her brain could no longer take the pressure & ruptured, It caused bleeding on her brain, & that is serious w/ many complications. She was 47. There are also strokes that are caused by blood clots, if an individual goes to the hospital immediately, there are meds that can dissolve the clot/clots. The HBP was passed to me. I was diagnosed at a young age. I did not smoke. I was not overweight. I was told by a neurologist who said that he could tell by the blood vessels in my eyes “I can tell that you had it for a long time.” I was only 21. I went to the library checked out books, educated myself. I found a Internal Medicine Dr. on my 1st visit she changed my BPM & told me that my potassium was low. The Doctor is correct. I still needed more answers. It took me 20+ years of persistence to find out I was born with a genetic condition MHTFR and it causes high homocysteine levels. I also seen a Cardiologist, had a full thorough exam that included stress test, imaging, ekg’s, labs, ultrasounds, & heart monitoring. It was scary and overwhelming. My Cardiologist said, “your heart is fine, you only have anxiety. The anxiety is a symptom of MHTFR. I have a specialist a Hematologist, because it is considered a blood mutation. I received a gene from each parent at birth. Hopefully this information can help someone else.
