The keto diet kills prematurely the reason why is they switch to saturated fat. Fatty acids are the root cause of insulin resistant cells fatty liver obesity and overweight heart attack and stroke. Dairy in moderation is ok vitamin K2 rich cheese like Harvatti and Gouda , most people can't metabolize milk properly after the age of 3. The Mediterranean diet is not a low carb diet at all, the best diets in the world for longevity are plant based, the Hunza people of north Pakistan various tribes of PNG and Northern Tanzanian tribe of Hadzabe have the best health outcomes in the world they all eat a diet high in carbs. The keto diet has been debunked many times

My dad had chest pain and “weird feeling” and his cardiologist said he is fine, that they will do a stress test “eventually,” well that eventually he wouldn’t schedule until a year later almost, and my dad passed away the day before he was supposed to have it. The Cardio had prescribed him viagra the whole time. He died after taking one. Later on we find out the cardiologist knew something was wrong well ahead of time but didn’t do anything. They said “well maybe your dad knew something was wrong too and just chose not to do anything .the gaslighting on top of the worst thing to ever happen to me…. This industry is terrible. Thank you for helping people! 💚💚

View: dandelion roots/leaves tea for kidney/liver. Hibiscus tea for BP, but people have to be VERY careful with hibiscus. Pure is too much for me. I have to use blend or only a half to a third of a tea bag a day of the pure tea. I would NEVER use both a Rx and hibiscus tea together. That would bring BP too low. I am no kind of healthcare provider, but I did teach nurses and pre-med majors. Cinnamon and hibiscus are the only 2 herbs/spices I personally find dangerously strong. I have not tried most. I lose weight readily when having cinnamon to lower blood sugar. Thus, I must limit sugar AND limit cinnamon AND monitor for weight loss. Right now I am dehydrated, so that is already lowering BP. I have to rehydrate. People need to study nutrition and not give up and fall back on a child's diet.

I'm an ex-nurse and am chronic asthmatic, though I have a varied sports history and was very fit when younger (I'm 67). I first became suspicious about sugar and inflammation about ten years ago and began researching various papers on the subject. I was amazed at how pervasive the problem is. I found your video incredibly informative, even though I was already a convert to low-carb! I particularly appreciated the science and tech detail!

Thank you so much for producing this video. Now I think I might be able to go to sleep at night. I have low blood pressure and take a medication to bring it up to normal. Three months ago I went to a doctor for a prescription for the BP meds. I am 73 and on oxygen 24/7 as a result of being at Ground Zero the week of 9/11. He scared the hell out of me and persuaded me to take another pill to keep me from having a heart attack. I didn't want to go on the other pill. The 2nd pill caused me to have peripheral neuropothy in my left calf within days. After 10 days I went to the ER thinking I might have a blood clot. After two sets of ultra sound: no clot. Then I did some research and discovered there was no guarantee I would not have a heart attack will on the second med. Also the problem with the leg is a well known side effect. I know longer have pain in the leg but the left side of my left calf is still numb. An associate of his suggested I had Sciatica and it was not the medication. I don't understand why a nurse could not have done this simple test. Before 9/11 I was in good shape, not overweight or diabetic. When I was young I was a long distance runner. I have two C-Scans a year on my chest. They always show calcification on the outside of the arteries. A decade ago I had heart catheterization which was normal. I am so angry with doctors that spend 10 minutes with and say: "You just need to take this pill."

Doctors get paid to hand out Meds. You probably just need to change your diet. Avoid the junk and stick with the tried and true. Whole foods, mostly fruits and vegetables. A poor diet is the leading cause of heart attacks.

It will. At each point to be measured if you're reasonably healthy. I'd be expecting results not very misleading. Maybe if your arteries are clogged, ankle's areas will be most affected, then results will be more alarming, measured at your nervous state, but if you're healthy, blood pressure should be everywhere raised proportionally. Or I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong taking Dr. Brewer wants you to relax. To achieve relaxed state before and during test I've watched my favorite video

Look at one of the largest cholesterol studies ever done, which was in South Korea. They showed that having too LOW cholesterol correlates to a lot more deaths vs even having 300 cholesterol. It is like a hockey stick as you go below 130 or so total cholesterol. 200 to 250 was like a mild bunny slope by comparison. If you have low triglycerides and high HDL, that is a very good indicator

11:05 - “If your numbers are good, congratulations. You might [my emphasis on MIGHT] have some good, healthy arteries. However: I don’t recommend just sitting on it - pun intended. ABI is good for finding severe problems. Not so much for subtle problems. And, people that have heart attacks just have only subtle problems. So we have other options to detect subtle plaque problems.” Okay, are you listening carefully? That was the obligatory ‘lawyerly’ disclaimer, and qualification, followed by admitting this test doesn’t really tell you if you aren’t likely to have a heart attack, you assume so at your own risk. It only potentially reveals that you may have a more serious problem that should prompt immediate action. So think carefully when you watch a video like this. Don’t assume that if your numbers are ‘good’, for example, that you’re in the clear. Listen carefully for the disclaimer and qualifications which are often part of presentations like this.

1) You need to rest lying down for at least *10* minutes before beginning and between each reading. Even in a doctor’s office, patients are technically supposed to rest in a chair for 15 minutes before having their blood pressure checked. 2) Measuring the correct Ankle Brachial Pressure Index is supposedly notoriously difficult even for practitioners. Additionally, different organizations interpret the results differently. Because of this, I took multiple blood pressure readings waiting 8-12 minutes between each reading and measuring 2 times for each arm and 4 times for each ankle. 3) Due to varying blood pressure readings and the disagreement over interpretation, what I did was calculate my range from low to high by dividing: A. Highest ankle / highest arm B. Lowest ankle / lowest arm C. Highest ankle / lowest arm D. Lowest ankle / highest arm 4) As long as the lowest and highest readings are within suggested ranges, hopefully things are okay. That being said, in my case, I have minor symptoms yet I still fall within normal range, so take the results with a grain of salt and report even the most minor of symptoms to your doctor, since apparently most patients don’t report their symptoms. 5) If a perfectly accurate measurement was possible, then a normal ratio would be at least 1.0, but that doesn’t account for inspiration (inhalation) during the respiratory phase, hence why a lower value is acceptable to a point. 6) For more information on the topic of accurate measurement and interpretation, search for the paper _Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI): An update for practitioners_

I have yet to be a doctor’s office where BP is measured correctly. The nurse takes your weight, marches you to the room, fires questions at while putting on the arm band, says “just a sec” and takes your BP. While you sit on the exam table with your feet dangling, no back support and your arm sticking out. Then the doc comes in, says your BP is still high, let’s change your dose. Be smart, buy a BP monitor, measure at home and take the monitor to the doc on your next visit.

@@ssa8479 Exactly right. I NEVER EVER get good numbers at doctors' offices. I keep a detailed chart of my home BP readings, and I do four readings on two different machines each time - two on each arm. The numbers are substantially better at home. I take spreadsheet including the averages for the last 100 to 150 readings for my appointments and make sure Doctor reviews it with me and makes it part of my medical records. Going just by the doctor office readings, they would pump you up with cocktail of several different meds that you may not even truly need. Although so far I have not been able to convince them to reduce my meds because of calcified arteries, but unless my home numbers are way wrong, I think Docs numbers are largely inflated.

Yes, there is a method called the **Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)**, which can give an indication of peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition often caused by atherosclerosis (arterial plaque buildup). While it's not a direct measurement of arterial plaque, it helps assess blood flow and can indicate blockages or narrowing in the arteries. Here’s how the ABI test works: 1. **Measure blood pressure in both arms**: This provides a baseline brachial pressure. 2. **Measure blood pressure at both ankles**: Using a Doppler device or a standard blood pressure cuff. The ABI is calculated by dividing the systolic blood pressure at the ankle by the systolic blood pressure in the arm. - **Normal ABI**: 1.0 to 1.4 (normal blood flow). - **ABI between 0.9 and 1.0**: Borderline, might suggest some arterial narrowing. - **ABI less than 0.9**: Suggests peripheral artery disease, indicating a higher risk of atherosclerosis. While the ABI test is a useful screening tool for PAD, it is not typically done with a regular home blood pressure monitor, as it often requires a Doppler ultrasound device for accurate ankle readings. However, some advanced home devices may help with the process, but they need proper technique and equipment for reliable results. It’s always a good idea to have such tests confirmed and interpreted by a healthcare professional.

A trip to the ER and and an hour later I was on the operating table with a Saddle P.E. that the surgeon said was the largest and most massive amount of blood clots in my lungs that he'd ever seen in his career. Sucked them out and I fell great again. Back home a month later, I had a Heart Cath. done and was given a clean bill of health. Two weeks later, a N.P. said that I had 2 blockages, a 90% in my RCA and 20% in the LAD (widowmaker artery). No mention was ever made about stents saying that the arteries were very small. I'm awaiting yet another Cardiologist visit in December. I've had Angina for about a year and DVTs for the last 4 years, starting with my right leg and then the left about a year later in 2021.

Measurements with this new device include central blood pressure, augmentation pressure , central pulse pressure, brachial blood pressure and also subendocardio measurements . i think this can really be beneficial as you can track vascular biomarkers.What are your thoughts?

Not all heart attacks are caused by blocked arteries. You can have a heart attack from covid for instance. “There are two main types of heart attack. Type I heart attacks are where plaque on the inner wall of the artery ruptures and releases cholesterol and other substances into the bloodstream. This can then form a blood clot and block the artery. In type II heart attacks the heart does not receive as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs, but there is not a complete blockage of an artery. Other causes of heart attacks include: torn blood vessels blood vessel spasms drug misuse hypoxia, lack of oxygen in the blood Type 2 heart attacks are more common with COVID-19,” she says. “This heart attack can be caused by increased stress on the heart, such as a fast heartbeat, low blood oxygen levels or anemia, because the heart muscle isn't getting enough oxygen delivered in the blood in order do this extra work.”

@@andrewrivera4029 carnivore is one of the most unhealthy long-term diets you can do. You may loose weight and may help with diabetes but you put yourself at risk for some health conditions like several types of cancers and heart disease. There are nutrients you need that you can’t get from meat. A lot of people on the diet tend to eat more red meat than they should. Anyone who does carnivore diet should not be giving any kind of health advice

Dr. Ford Brewer, firstly, thank you for educating us on this. How often should this be self-checked?, daily, weekly, monthly? Is the 5 minutes of rest per limb required before testing the BP? Thank you.

I wasn't 107 over 69 since I was 20 years old and 110 pounds. I guess I have always been high around 120 over 80. It now is over 130 over 85/90. It's really high when I first wake up; however, I took my home cuff and compared it to the one at the doctors office. It was 10 off for both numbers. Today, I was 123 over 85 at the doctors.

The cuff has to be placed at the same hight as the heart. While Doctor Brewer was lying on the sofa measuring his blood pressure, his feet and his ankles were higher than his arms and his heart because the sofa was too short for him. Was that the right position for measuring blood pressure?

I measure my arm regularly and its 120-130 over 80-90 most of the time so pretty okay. Idk if I'm placing the band correctly but my ankles give me a reading of 220 systolic pressure and 148 diastolic pressure, which seems extremely bad but I workout regularly, eat healthy, and I don't have any symtoms of Peripheral artery disease, so am I not measuring correctly? My bloodwork and heart CT of a this year were perfect btw

So it's highest ankle systolic (top number of BP reading) divided by highest arm systolic number? And then you can also divide the other ankle systolic number by the other arm systolic.. I had to look in the transcript to get this clear...it would be worth going over this piece of information more than once, or more slowly, as it's clearly important to be sure you're doing the right calculation. Thanks for this informative video.

I would say that the majority of people do know how to avoid heart attacks but knowingly and willingly will not do the simple things that it takes to avoid them. Take a couple of months to change your diet to a healthy one and stick to it for at least 8 weeks so your taste preferences change. Add exercise (some resistance and some cardio) at least three days per week. Slowly adjust your caloric intake until you reach a healthy weight range, say a BMI of 21 to 23 (depending on your muscle mass). Then adjust calorie intake to maintain that weight. Takes barely any time investment once you get past the food adjustment and calorie logging but tools like cronometer (even the free version is fantastic) make it a cake walk. But people, as clearly proven just by looking around, are too lazy and lack discipline and just want a pill as a solution so they can continue with a hedonic way of eating and laying around

There’s a lot of truth to that. But current experience with the GLP-1s has provided massive evidence that this eating behavior is hormone-driven.
