    Medications have also side effects, I treated my blood pressure with nutrition and exercise including sauna and this worked for me beautifully. There is a reason why the blood pressure is high, you have to find out why the blood pressure is high, just to take pills for high blood pressure will not solve the underlying cause.

    Had an outpatient surgery recently. After the anaesthetic wore off, they gave me a cup of coffee to help me come back to life. Then, ten minutes later, before discharging me, they took my BP, which was an astronomic 180 (systolic, of course). When I took it three hours later at home it was 135. Goes to show how variable the measurement is and how subject to external influences.

    Having been a vascular ultrasound tech. I would strongly advise taking blood pressure from both arms at least when you first start seeing a patient. A patient may have arterial occlusion in one arm which will give a false lower number. Good point on the size of the cuff bigger the arm wider the cuff.

    Increasing your potassium intake while reducing sodium is VERY effective in combination with weight loss, and exercise. I'm 72 years old, 6'0" and weighed 211 lbs. with a BP around 140-145 / 80-85. I dropped 31 lbs. with intermittent fasting over 5 months and have kept it off for about 7 months staying at 179-180 lbs. My BP is now around 115-120 / 60-65 with a home measurement.

    Dr Baron, Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, time and experience as a Dr. I have High Blood Pressure since leaving the Marine Corps in 1994. Naturally I understand why. Drop in physical fitness, food intake, wrong diet led to High Blood Pressure. Since then I’ve been diagnosed with DM along with many other disabilities due to my service in the Marine Corps. Which was over 21 years. I’ve now been doing the things that I think is helping me. Losing weight, eating right, no fast foods, the right carbohydrates, sodium, protein, fiber and reduced sugar levels. Over the past two years I’ve lost 20 pounds to my current weight of 176-177. But I’m still concerned. But thanks for letting us know what to do.

    Great presentation! From my experience the measuring of blood pressure at doctors offices are not done correctly. When I took my mother to her doctor's office, she would be nervous about her weight and other things, and the first thing the nurse would do is stand her on the scale and take her blood pressure. After doing the normal procedures I asked the nurse to let my mother sit for a few moments and breathe slowly and take her blood pressure again. It was significantly lower. Definitely, the procedures should be changed at doctors offices. The very highest and best to all.

    I have been on BP meds since i had a heart attack back in 1994. I have recently added a new Cardiologist who asked me to start tracking my BP at home using my own Omron monitor which takes my BP three successive times and gives me the average of the three. I have taken the log of my results to my Cardio but he never seems to be overly concerned about the numbers or pay much attention to them. I never knew i should do my test in the morning before i take my meds! I always test it in AM but i take my BP meds BEFORE I test myself. I will change that now but im aggravated about it because i do have heart disease and also type 2 diabetes and always worry about my BP as i age...now 81.After 15 years of daily blood sugar testing I'm going to stop that and just do my A1c which is currently 6.4% with 2 500mG of Metformin daily. Excellent video. Thank you.

All of the lists were so clear and helpful to the audience members including me to, again, process the information.

      I am astonished at the fact that some doctors are not aware of this knowledge.
      My mom is over seventy years old and her doctor insists that her b/p should be 120/80. He wants to add more meds to the four meds that she takes to lower her b/p. She has CHF and kidney problems, so why does he wants her b/p to be the same as it was when she was in her twenties?
      I can not believe what he is thinking, but I will not allow it. It seems like common sense should kick in at some point.

    Changing to a macrobiotic/vegan/raw vegan/fruitarian diet, I have reduced my blood pressure to normal range of 120/80. No more than 1000mg of sodium daily. I’m an 59 and take no medications. My parents took high blood pressure medications for 40 years. They ate the Standard American Diet and were not overweight. My father smoked 1 cigarette a day after dinner. My mother did not smoke. I was a caregiver to them until their deaths. I decided to CHANGE my diet rather than face decades of medication.

      I tried the diet you're on for 2 years and ended up with brain fog, no energy, high blood pressure and dental issues. I changed to a wild meat low carb, high fat carnivore diet, eliminated my gum disease and reduced my blood pressure from 170/95 to 115/75. I eat plenty of salt and I feel amazing. Sharp mental focus, plenty of energy, I'm never hungry so only eat 1 or 2 meals a day and I find it really easy to stay lean. We're all different.

    • @rozchristopherson648

      Sportys Business I was a caregiver to parents and a grandmother for 20 years.
      Both my parents and my grandparents on both sides suffered from high blood pressure. All of them died from some form of heart disease (strokes, heart attacks, valve replacement). One grandfather passed from emphysema. All, except one grandfather and one great-grandfather who died in their 50s, took high blood pressure medications from about age 40. None of them were overweight. My father smoked one cigarette a day after dinner. They lived to ages 78-92, debilitated by heart disease and medications. They all had one thing in common. The Standard American Diet. Animal products at every meal.
      Eventually, eating animal products will catch up with you.
      I’m 59 and stopped 5 years ago consuming animal flesh. Then gave up dairy. You sound like you are younger than I am. You may “feel” better now. But if you continue to consume animal products, which have a cumulative effect, you will eventually have some illnesses that are the direct or indirect result of consuming animal products. You will inevitable end up taking prescriptions for these illnesses and maybe even need bypass surgery, etc.
      Trust me, it’s not worth it. By the time you see the full effects of consuming animal products, it will be too late for dietary changes to have much of an impact.
      There are ways to eat a vegan diet and still be healthy, have energy, etc.
      Think of the long term consequences of a carnivore diet. It won’t be good for you as time goes on.

    I've had high blood pressure and very high potassium for a few years now, I have to soak my vegetables for hours before boiling them in tons of water, this leaches out the potassium, I have to avoid veggies I really like such as avocado, beetroot etc and I can never eat beans, dates, dried fruits etc because of the very high potassium. I came across this video and got hooked on this presentation and then bang, right at the end Dr Baron mentions the connection between ACE inhibitors and high potassium. This is truly remarkable, the connection has never been made by different doctors I've seen over the years. Of course this does not necessarily mean my BP drugs are the cause of my high potassium but it's certainly a high possibility, one which I will look into. Perhaps I'll ask to swap my BP drugs for another one and see if my potassium goes down. Very interesting presentation and thank you Dr Baron.

      I'm CKD too and potassium is way too high, however I've repeatedly refused to take the B/P meds my Dr. prescribed. I still have too high potassium because my kidneys are damaged & not able to flush out excess potassium. It's kidney damage that causes high potassium & phosphates, not the meds for high b/p. I wish it was that simple. Yes, I've given up my favorite Avocados & lots of other foods I love.
