Not a doctor, but as a Yoga teacher with a baseline understanding of nutrition, I've helped many of my students lower their blood pressure. -Mg glycinate + citrate 800mg -increase potassium ( leafy greens) - switch from tabel salt to himalayan salt. - 15000+ steps of daily walking - mastering Humming Breathing 10 minute season (3-5 times a day)
Finally a doctor that treats blood pressure numbers with some logic. Not everyone is the ssme so 120/80 BL is a bit stupid to use as a perfect BL number. For some people 130/80 might be perfect due to their parameters
My blood pressure went down when I went low carb. I eat pasture raised beef, wild salmon as well as chicken. I also eat huge salad bowls with low oxalate greens like arugula. Arugula has the most nitric oxide concentration which relaxes blood vessels. Never underestimate the power of food and if are a guy it will make you hard down there
that's interesting my BP went from round 120/80 with omnivore diet, but now that i'm closer to vegetarian/vegan it's 85/62. My heart rate also decreased from 82 bpm to 61 bpm... no joke.
@minhnguyen-lk2ym I did vegan for a year, and my bp actually went up pretty bad for a bit. Probably too much carbs. If I'm doing it right, and eat a bit lower of a carb diet, it seems better. Just my experience. I eat a well rounded omnivore diet with lots of lean meats and veggies. Cutting out a lot of grains and sugars seemed to help
Be aware that once you have brain vessel occlusion such as carotid artery blockage, lowering pressure risks syncope and falls. This is as dangerous as stroke, sometimes more. Managing HBP in an 85 year old is an art.
Peter, you should create some material on sitosterolemia, which was mentioned in a Wall Street Journal article this weekend. The article tells the story of a fit 60 something man who discovered that his calcium score was over 2000 and was recommended a diet high in nuts and olive oil. Later, he learned he had sitosterolemia, a condition that worsens calcification and arthritis because the body cannot properly process foods like nuts and olive oil. Interestingly, his cardiologist was totally unaware of this condition exists.
This explains why when I lived in Germany my doctor was somewhat reluctant to continue my bp medication… my reading was 135/85. But it seems back in n the us, doctors will prescribe even at 122/82!
My father, deceased now for 20 years was a cardiologist. Back when he was practicing he never put anyone on BP meds until their BP was at least 140/90. As the guest here states, in most of the world except the U.S., 140/90 is the standard where meds are considered. Why isn't this so in the U.S.? Because as stated to me many times, and not just by my father, medical practice in this country has become a business first industry. The pharmaceutical companies are in charge, so don't be surprised if the BP standards for medications drop even lower. I'm not putting the medical community in our country down, half of my family followed in my father's footsteps, I chose not to. But here's an interesting quote to end with, it's a joke actually that a first year U.S. medical student will hear on his first day of class, "a patient cured, is a customer lost." To be fair, I left a doctor who had me on BP meds for 3 years for a BP of 132/88. My new doctor, who is excellent took me off the meds 3 years ago. My BP has been around 128/85, no meds. Choose your doctors wisely and make sure the line of communication is open, not one sided.
@@stevesorensen9648 how did you go off medication ? It would really be nice if you could write in brief . Thanks . I have recently started my medication for high BP but I want to be off it soon .
@@stevesorensen9648 yes that’s my thought as well. I’ve found over the years that I need to advocate for myself as a patient. Doctors always go for the quick easy (medicine) solution vs having the more difficult discussion of lifestyle changes.
Incredible insights! It reminds me of what I learned in Health and Beauty Mastery by Dr. Julian Bannett. That book reveals hidden truths about the industry that completely reshaped how I think about health and wellness.
How is "blood pressure" calculated? Is it the average for the day, the highest number during a day, etc.? My pressure averages 140/85 in the morning, 130/80 resting the in the afternoon, and 120/75 at bedtime. And after exercise is can be lower. So what is my blood pressure in terms of needing intervention?
If you look on youtube for "peter attia how to measure blood pressure" hes done a couple of videos on how to measure it properly. The short version is to sit doing completely nothing for 5 mins, then take a blood pressure measurement. Then wait 3-5 mins and do another measurement. Then one more time. So you'll have 3 measurements, then you average them and thats your actual blood pressure reading
@@Ed-iu1di But the method described by jameli395 is exactly how the SPRINT Trial measured BP, using a properly sized upper arm cuff. From the SPRINT Trial came the new, lower US guidelines. Time of day, etc didn't become part of the new guidelines and wasn't part of the trial as far as I know. There are many who view the SPRINT Trial as having important flaws. And it becomes a real-world problem because clinic workflows do not support the SPRINT method of measuring BP. I think the nephrologist is "right enough". Get to a healthy weight through good nutrition and exercise. Most elevated BP will respond.
@@jamesli395 I have watched that video, but it is kind of pointless for me. Sure, that is a good way to measure, but it doesn't address massive fluctuations during the day/between days. For example, I'm fairly active and I also have an unusually low resting(
It's almost like someone somewhere wants everyone to be on medication because you know, money. So that relatively healthy person with slightly high BP should probably be on medication for that. Diet is too hard and medication is covered mostly by insurance. Go on lad, take the pills and cover that co-pay. We'll handle the rest.
Don't forget if you have low iron this could cause problems with your BP......low hemoglobin.....forces your heart to pump harder to get oxygen to your organs......
So what would Dr Attia suggest as “treatment” for a fit, active male, having metabolic labs within a healthy range who has had elevated BPs since early 20s and is now 50. Taking an anti hypertensives since mid 20s. I regularly check his BP which has been solid 1- teens to 120s/70s. I would love to see this guy come off the meds. ??
...because they don't. Also, you can damage your muscles bones and joints with too much stress if the stress exceeds the recovery. And that happens a LOT. However... the kidneys and brain unquestionably do not adapt to stress like that
my BP went from 120/80 (normal) --> to 85/62 (low but I feel healthy) ... honestly this is so easy, just eat a whole-food plant based diet. I didnt even intend for this to happen, it was just a side-effect of the diet. Also plants either have zero or negligible sodium and high potassium.
@@lindac6147 it doesn't make much sense to me how broccoli, carrots, legumes, fruits... all of which are high in potassium and zero in sodium can increase blood pressure though. are you sure you are eating whole natural foods?
That's an unhealthy low number. While high blood pressure is bad, it doesn't mean the lower the better. Your body has healthy ranges for most things. If your BP is too low... like yours... you're not getting good profusion to your extremities and organs. That pressure gives you a MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) under 70... not good. You're actually bordering on numbers we look for when watching for someone in danger of going into shock. My first guess is that you're dehydrated, but honestly, you need to see a doctor about those numbers
Advice given includes diet and exercise. My interpretation is as follows: Weight management. Movement… 10.000 steps a day walking. Eat carefully… vegetables, meat, fruits. We don’t need a gym membership. We need to move, and the local pathways are free to us.
This doc’s concern about BP meds for folks at 135/85 is very vague and never clearly stated. Just that it would mean too many prescriptions. That’s a public policy objection. Not a medical one. He doesn’t seem to truly appreciate Peter’s goal of aiming to live to 100.
I don't know anyone who is willing to tackle high blood pressure with lifestyle. Everyone chooses pills. Everyone I know! Take a pill, problem solved (I don’t think so) and we are ready for the next unhealthy snack.
Usually from dehydration... Otherwise, you need to see your doctor to find out what's going on. As far as what's bad about low blood pressure? Poor tissue perfusion. That's to your extremities and your organs. Your body has a healthy range. With BP, "the lower the better" is NOT the answer
No tips in this video. Other than drug intervention cannot be recommended below 140/90, but lifestyle intervention like lower sodium, more exercise and healthier diet, would be appropriate.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to properly read eGFR if you are using creatine? Just learned recently that it will falsely make that number appear lower
Yes... there are a couple of ways to measure GFR. If you're taking creatine, the standard way will give you a reduced number from your actual GFR. Find out if the lab can do the cystatin method
I beg to differ as they clearly stated reducing metabolic syndrome is the preferred path vs putting the majority of the population on hypertensives. Unfortunately, that requires exercise and excess fat loss.
@@bob-ss4wxI get your point, but if you’re looking for a recommendation to consume more garlic or apple cider vinegar then you’re simply watching the wrong content creator.
A very animated conversation without any real tips, outside of diet, reducing salt and exercise. Let me pause and look up what GFR is. Why do I continue to watch these videos?
When doctors are obsessed to treat blood pressure from 135 to lower to 120 he is too much influenced from pharma industry. Not reasonable to treat patient in that manner. I assume peter attila is too obsessed in that manner.
Think maybe attributing Kidney disease to high BP is the wrong way round. If the kidneys are not functioning correctly due to say fructose or alcohol damage then they will not be able to manage water and mineral content effectively. This would then lead to high BP. Discuss.
The high intake of red meat is gonna increase ApoB so in the long term is probably gonna increase your risk of cardiovascular disease in comparison to a regular diet without an excessive amount of carbs but less saturated fat.
You don't need to rest more red meat.. you actually don't ever have to eat red meat in most cases. Just good variety of sources of protein is sufficient and low to no simple sugars and simple carbs. But Americans eat 60% of their calories from simple sugars and processed carbs and don't exercise. That is the foundational issue
@@bob-ss4wxnope you can eat an incomplete protein with a meal like black beans... As long as you are eating a variety of proteins throughout the week.. our bodies are smarter than our data charts. If you have black beans for dinner on Monday and have salmon and chickpeas on Tuesday and continue to have variety throughout the week it's fine. If you only eat chickpeas and hummus you might have a problem
I've been running different scenarios in calculators and for U-prevent reducing SBP from 120 to 110 reduced my 10 year risk by 1.5% which is the same as Ezetimibe, and Ezetimibe+110sbp was better than 5mg Rosuvastatin. Peter, if its truly linear and that is what the risk calculators give for risk reduction, why are you pushing for very low APOB but not very low SBP?
Dr. Attia, you see the problems with higher blood pressure, etc. and yet you so prioritize muscle mass. But, if someone fasts and gets very lean, he will probably have much less muscle mass, but much better blood pressure, and more. It seems this may be well worth less mass, and as long as you are still strength training hard, it seems like your muscle will still not be a serious problem. Is it really worth sacrificing so much in leanness, blood pressure, etc. to go from very sufficient muscle to huge muscle, if your concern is longevity and quality of life? Women have way less strength and muscle, yet live longer. In a marginal benefit-marginal cost careful analysis, it seems like you overvalue muscle mass.
It's tough to get "huge muscles." You have to consistently exercise for many years with progressive overload just to "look like you lift." It's not something you can get accidentally. Women live longer due to the protective effects of estrogen. They also benefit tremendously from higher muscle mass, as shown in multiple studies. However, muscle mass is less of a goal in itself but rather a proxy for the stress caused to the metabolic systems and bones that in turn, forces our body to adapt.
This podcast is so bad it's not even worth your time commenting! I wish I knew the doctor's name so perhaps I could go listen to what he actually wants to say
A study found that watching TH-cam videos on blood pressure increases the blood pressure by 20 points.

I love this show.
In Germany they recently want to redefine high BL as being 120/70.
My problem with this is that association is not a causation...
My blood pressure fluctuates a lot. I have no idea what that means.
Find some nephrologist or endocrinologist to test for secondary hypertension, especially for aldosteronism...

High BP is an indication of clogged arteries/ CVD/ metabolic syndrome.
Diet and exercise can cause and resolve this.
Cocoa Flavanol supplementation can be effective.

No one is going from sufficient to over muscled. Especially with the demographics that watch these videos.
It's tough to get "huge muscles." You have to consistently exercise for many years with progressive overload just to "look like you lift." It's not something you can get accidentally.
Women live longer due to the protective effects of estrogen. They also benefit tremendously from higher muscle mass, as shown in multiple studies. However, muscle mass is less of a goal in itself but rather a proxy for the stress caused to the metabolic systems and bones that in turn, forces our body to adapt.
Remember, the lower the medical industry lower your NORMAL blood pressure the more drugs they can prescribe.
