Started keto this January. Had to take 3 bp pills daily but "forgot" to take them a couple of days in a row a couple of times but measured on a regular basis. Bp is in the 120s /80s most of the time, and even lower when I'm relaxed and not running around. Also, I lost 40 Ibs so far. How do I tell my doc that I don't need the pills anymore🤔??? Thank you so much Dr. Berry, you are my hero❤️

I had to switch Doctors to find one who understands Keto/Carnivore diets, I'm down 100lbs so far. When I follow the diet closely my diabetes goes away and my BP lowers to a normal range. When I cheat around the holidays, blood glucose and BP go back up. I use Real salt and just salt to taste. Remember you pay them for a service the Doctors don't pay me to see them, and thats how I treat them. Politely.

I am 67 years old and was diagnosed with Hypertension (BP = 179/130). Doctor wanted me to start meds, I said I needed to do some research. I came across your videos on youtube and started watching them. I started Keto / Carnivore 4 weeks ago, went from eating 3-4 meals per day (high sugar, high carb) to only eating 1 to 2 meals day (sated by the red meat, bacon, eggs, salmon). I also eliminated all processed foods, pizza, sweets, soda, alcohol, grains, fruits (except for blueberries). I had my BP checked this morning because I was feeling dizzy. BP was 117/74!!! I had it checked again, 120/77!!! My BP has not been this low since I was in college (1973) running Track and Cross Country. This convinced me that my problem was just as you stated, I've been killing myself slowly with my high sugar, high carb diet for 60 years! I was also experiencing tingling in my feet (pre-diabetes) and enlarged prostate. The tingling is almost gone in my right foot and my prostate must be shrinking as my urine stream is stronger. This is all on the level, no BS. I've always felt that the western diet is to blame for most of our illnesses. Thanks for showing me a new way to eat and salvage my health. I've also been active most of my life, either running 3-5 miles per day or cycling 20 miles per day. Obviously that wasn't enough. You're a smart guy, thank you for sharing your research and knowledge.

Cardiologist's protocol to take blood pressure: 1. Take a.m. BP at the same time each day before eating breakfast or drinking coffee, with empty bladder, sitting, feet flat on the floor. Use left arm, rested on a stable surface. Rest for a couple of minutes after placing cuff on arm before activating monitor. 2. Take p.m. BP in essentially the same manner, but at least two hours after eating. 3. Record your readings to share with your doctor, especially if you are prone to white coat syndrome at the doctor's office.

Great advice Dr Berry! My mother truly believed in the low salt, low cholesterol, low fat dogma that was the 1950s, 60s and 70s. She raised me not to cook with salt or add salt to my foods. Nothing said about sugar or other carbs and I was the poster child then of the overweight carb addicted person who just got bigger and bigger as time went on. I did a lot of reading and decided in 2019 to try the keto/low carb diet as a last resort before I was too sick to live anymore. The change was amazing. After packing on weight for 40 years I am still a work in progress but I lost over 130 pounds and am amazed at how good food tastes with salt and without sugar clogging up my life.

#1 way I discovered recently to lower your blood pressure, is to walk every day, two miles or more. Try this: Don’t exercise for two days, then take your blood pressure on the third day. Then walk two miles minimum per day, at a moderate pace, for two days and then take your blood pressure the next day. You’ll see a huge difference. Definitely do the diet thing also, but get out and get some exercise. Get the blood flowing. Of course, follow your doctor‘s instructions on exercise and don’t overdo it.

That’s $10,800 worth of medication. One month into keto, I almost past out one day. Keto way of eating was lowering my pressure and I didn’t know it. Came off the pills. That was two years ago.

THANK YOU, DR.BERRY, FOR ALL YOU DO!!! I'm a 49 year old 290lb. male, who was eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) and on no meds yet. My blood pressure has been creeping up for years, and every time I went for a wellness visit, the doctors would say, " That's natural as you get older." (Essentially, waiting to pass a point so I could be prescribed a pill) a week+ ago, I checked my BP, and it was through the roof 160/103! My family wanted me to go in to get meds. I didn't have a family doctor, so during my search I implemented your lessons : IF, OMAD, keto diet, cut out all sugars and carbs ( minus some veg) and started taking some D3, Magnesium, and Potassium. 1 week later, I'm down 10+ pounds, and my BP has gradually been creeping down (now at 128/92). Your lessons work! In the week I have been implementing these strategies, the hardest part was breaking the habits of old ways of eating. That lasted about 3 days. I experienced headaches during the first 4 days, but I attribute that to going cold turkey on caffeine (was a daily triple shot espresso and Mt Dew drinker). About 4 days in, my inflamation dropped so much that my knees and hands no longer hurt, and it doesn't hurt to squat down anymore! (WHAT?!?!) For anyone who's considering - Just Do It! It's very empowering to be in control of your own health. Again, thanks, Dr. B..... NOw I'm heading over to sign up on your patron page for saving me and the $ I am saving by not buying prescriptions!

The SPRINT study the American Heart Association claims supports the need to keep our blood pressure below 130 systolic (instead of 140) makes my blood pressure go up. The study in no way supports the claim. There are so many problems with the study. The main one is that it draws from a population of older Americans that have health issues but they try to extrapolate the results to all adult Americans. The population they drew the data from does not match the population they are making recommendations for. I taught my students to think carefully about the population of interest in my stats 101 course; the AHA has no excuse for failing at this simple concept. How did they decide to recommend 130 in a study that was testing with a cutoff of 120? It seems they just wanted an excuse to change the recommendations to prescribe more statins. As an interesting aside, they had a below 120 systolic treatment group and a control group they were comparing. The below 120 systolic group did not even achieve the under 120 systolic blood pressure on average even with multiple medications! The conclusion also downplays the increased incidence of liver failure in the treatment group... EDIT: I don't mean to criticize the SPRINT study itself or the researchers that worked on it. I am criticizing the AHA and how they are pretending the study provides more evidence than it does to change blood pressure recommendations. More statins will be needed if you prescribe them to all people above 130 systolic instead of 140. Companies that make statins donate large amounts of money to the AHA. Is the AHA acting in the best interest of the population?

My A1-C is 11.6, triglycerides through the roof, ALT AST very high. I have struggled with eating healthy to control my blood sugar, going through this over and over, eating healthier for a while and then gradually start eating all the bad stuff again, and stop checking my blood sugar because I don't want to see the numbers. I just ignored the problem. Watching your videos has completely changed my outlook and desire to reverse my type 2 diabetes. Discovering KETO through your videos, has opened up a whole new world of foods I actually like eat. I'm looking forward to my 90 day labs to see the improvement. Thanks to you, I got this.

I started to just take half of that amount.

I no longer am able to walk. I went on a carnivore lifestyle with great success however I experienced a rather severe weakening in my back and left hip and leg. I thought it may have been the result of the carnivore flue because it occurred almost immediately. It just hasn't gone away. I don't intend on giving up carnivore buy I'm not a purist. 'only human you know. My latest blood test was that more of a much younger man. My GFR rose from 85 to 100 and I had been stepping off the carnivore wagon from time to time.

Starting in December, my BP started going back up and I am now on three of the original four BP meds. Taking the electrolyte drops plus other potassium, magnesium and get lots of salt.

Electrophysiologist ups the BP meds, won't do an ablation procedure to try to treat the afib, but wants to implant a pacemaker to try to "control" the afib without treating the cause.

I noticed that when I started to drink nothing BUT soda pops my pressure went way way up. You are correct, cut way down on carbs, drink water with ice. If you want to get your pressure down within the next 4 hours and its an emergency you can eat cayenne pepper on your food, about a quarter of a teaspoon which will naturally dielate your blood vessels wide open dropping your pressure and along with that eat a small clove of RAW Garlic which will regulate your pressure into the lower side and keep it there. This is how the Chinese regulate pressure, they say it works far better than any blood pressure meds. So get rid of the carbs, eat cayenne to get 5 hours of lowering your pressure and RAW garlic to keep it down for a longer period and your pressure will be normal. One cause of high pressure is a partial blockage of your arteries around your heart or kidneys or carotid arteries but once you eliminate carbs and sugars those blockages will clear up naturally and you will be good to go ... .. ..

It’s amazing that somebody isn’t afraid to dismiss pharma and offer a natural way to eliminate so many conditions that people have accepted as what to expect as they age!

Good luck. Use liberal salt in the beginning and drink plenty of water between meals.

I would recommend anyone going KETO have food reaction/allergen tests ran. You are changing your food sources. I went many months with digestive and skin-itching issues. Sent in test to Everlywell and found I had a huge reaction to eggs, especially egg whites. Also broccoli. Was taking broccoli sprout supplements too :(. Do it. Worth it. I needlessly suffered for months.

My blood pressure medicine had snake poison in it ! Made feel like I was 30 years older. Keto diet and cold showers every morning works great for me !!!

Lucky for you...the cold showers. I used to do it, but now am 78 years. I am frightened I will keel over in the shower. So I have warm shower then as last thing I run cold water on legs below knee only. But would love to have full body cold. It is such a good feeling afterwards. Just very anxious about it. Also was on 4 meds for blood pressure. Down to one. Yippee....

I find salt satiating. I make a coffee, black, and dump about half a teaspoon into it; I do not stir. As i approach the second half of the cup, it starts tasting better and better. I find I have much less coffee now, about two cups per day, whereas before, I drank several cups a day.

I wasn't one to salt my food much pre-keto. Now 2.5 years in my palate changed so much that I (subjectively) put a TON of salt on my food and often just eat salt by itself. It helps fix thirst, helps get rid of pseudo hunger pangs, and is necessary for life!

I’m a 50 yo man and my blood pressure ranges from 136/80 and 110/66 or variations upon that theme. I believe the dietary advice I have received has been bad and I have no idea whether it’s well intention erroneous advice or nefarious, frankly I don’t care. All I know is that carnivore diet means I am almost at my ideal weight and since I started taking between 3-4 teaspoons of salt a day about a week ago and this morning my bop was 93/53, measured 3 times, by the afternoon it was tending towards 120/75 but I bet when I sat down later tonight it will be around 110/60. Off to see the doctor tomorrow and the conversation is going to revolve around bp meds and statins. Thanks Dr. Berry

50 years old here too. My bp used to be in the prehypertension range. I started Keto, lost 30 pounds and it went down to within the "normal" range. I wouldn't touch statin though. Cholesterol is essential to the human body. It is an essential component for every cell membrane (muscles, joints, organs especially brain).

I get pushback every two years when I go for my medical card for my cdl. It's always about 130 over 80, and they act like I'm ready to stoke out. It's stressful since it's my career. I'm no fitness model, but I'm in decent shape. I'm 6'2" and 195 lbs. It's baffling.

I go(went) through the same BS! They wanted to only give me a 3 month extension and come back for a recheck. I wasn't over, I had just made it. Went keto and never been a problem since.

Tall people tend to have a higher blood pressure. Requires more pressure to push the blood up to your brain. Not so much for a shorter person.

Yeah, the next big crisis will you need a cpap machine. They pulled that nonsense on me, granted I am a big boy but I have no sleep issues. Had to do a sleep lab, the doctor said he wouldn’t have prescribed a cpap for me , but he won’t go against the dot doctor. I’m glad I’m 60 years old and a o/o , so I kinda skirt their rules a bit.

3 months on carnivore diet no sugar no carbs completely controlled my A1C down to normal with no medication. My blood pressure is perfect and I went from very high A1C high blood sugar and high blood pressure down to normal 3 months. This is a perfect lifestyle change.
