Dr. Story's COMPLETE Guide to NATURALLY Lower BLOOD PRESSURE

[@rufdymond]

I’m 61 and recently began to have problems with my blood pressure, with my readings being as high as 160/100 but averaging around 156/95. I historically don’t have a history of high blood pressure, but it does run in my family. Before putting me on medication, the doctor suggested that I try and make some lifestyle changes, which I was more than happy to do instead of taking pills. I altered my diet…cut out the cakes and pastries, (which was hard as I’m a cake monster) pretty much stopped eating anything that came in a packet (processed food) and cut right down on my salt intake. Things I introduced - oatmeal for breakfast, with nuts, fruits, and ground flaxseeds, introduced salads, homemade vegetable based smoothies, and home cooked meals into my diet (I’ve not had any takeaway food now for two months). I also take a fish-oil capsule every day. Lastly, I got active, aiming for 7000 steps per day. It was difficult at first, but now 2 months later, I’m doing it with ease. My most recent BP readings are now averaging around 127/83. Still not optimal but for 2 months into my journey I’m happy - this is now my new lifestyle and I’m confident I’ll get it down further. This stuff works, you just have to be prepared to make the changes…..oh and as a bonus, I’ve lost a little bit of weight too. Update to my comment: 1 month after I wrote this comment my average BP is now at 119/78 - I have my review in 3 weeks time, where the doctor was going to discuss putting me on BP medication. It could just be that I may be able to escape the pills for now……

I discovered something recently. if the batteries are getting weak on your blood pressure machine it can make your blood pressure read high. I just put fresh batteries in mine and it's reading 20mm/hg lower. you'll know when the batteries are getting weak when the pump starts sounding labored and the cuff doesn't inflate as fast as it used to.

I realize this is an old video, but I have to say after having a stroke due to high blood pressure a year ago you have always been my best help. I have gone from doctor to doctor, realizing they have nothing to offer as far as rehabilitation and recovery. If a pill won’t work, they have no other answers. I get shunned by every doctor because I refuse to take a bunch of medication. I’m 70 years old and have never had a prescription drug until this blood pressure medication. I hate the way it makes me feel I hate the way it causes me to swell up and retain water and hate the depression. I’ve been afraid to exercise because of the blood pressure due to the precautions that you give but now I feel I have a good idea how to do it. You have always given me hope and this video in the world was connected to have been the most helpful since my stroke a year ago November. Thank you Dr. story I just love you.!

This video is excellent. At 69 years old I found out that my blood pressure was higher than it should be. This came as a bit of a shock as it used to be low in the past. My cholesterol was also higher than desired. I cut out full fat foods like butter, cheese, full fat yoghurt and milk, ice cream and cakes etc. I did not eat beef or lamb but I cut out pork and processed meats. I significantly reduced the amount of chicken and turkey in my diet. I liked salmon, haddock and tuna so I continued these alongside eating lots of fruits and vegetables, legumes and nuts. I added avocado and reduced my salt intake. I take magnesium, salmon oil, some multivitamin, vitamin d and extra vitamin c supplements. I started brisk walking while listening to audio books as my exercise of choice. I walk for at least thirty minutes (generally a little longer) twice a day, seven days a week. In March 2024 my b.p. averaged 144/88 and it is now is 107/73. My cholesterol has also reduced. I have lost over 19% of my body weight but I am working to put back a little as I am now in the "underweight" category.

I had a heart attack at 40yrs old. A widow maker! No prior BP or cholesterol red flags, but it is common in our family to suffer a cardiac event around this age. An aunt I never got to know passed at 39 of a massive heart attack. I'm still stuck taking 5 prescriptions a day. I've cut my carbs and protein in half, upped my veggie intake and lost 40lbs. It's also important to be cautious of how many calories you drink per day. I would drink 3 coffees a day full of creamer. A lot of creamers contain vegetable oil and it seemed so unnecessary. Our ancestors didn't chug oil all day. Get back to the old, healthy way of putting good calories back into your diet. This made so much sense after recording my diet for 1 month. I dare you to be honest with yourself. God Bless.

[@petervandijk7533]

Here’s my experience: Been on blood pressure medication for decades (GP and cardiologists on autopilot & I was ignorant). A year ago I changed my lifestyle. More exercise, started intermittent fasting 16-8, usually no more than 2 meals a day, sometimes 1 (‘OMAD’). Drastically lowered my intake of carbs and sugar (keto-ish but not religiously keto). Avoiding processed foods and focus on real food. Took care of my vitamin D (I’m in the 60 - 80 ng/ml range now; I think the mountain of recent scientific data convincingly shows that 50 ng/ml is the minimum for optimal health for most). Some other supplements like the ones you mention. I halved / skipped my meds without consulting my GP (I once suggested we reduce and see what happens, but he didn’t want to ‘change a winning team’), I did not get on the scale or checked my blood pressure for a year. When I checked recently, I lost 9,5 kg, my blood pressure readings are now normal (around 20 points down compared to one year ago - and that without the bulk of the meds, mind you), my BMI went down from 29 to 26.3 (fine for my age). I keep learning and vids like yours help me fine tune. To anybody who is skeptical: Lifestyle trumps meds big time and it’s never too late to improve your health and fitness. I’m an old fart and I managed it pretty well. Adam, you’re telling a true story. Thanks for that!

So many things I could say about my BP, but one MAIN thing that everyone should be aware of that happened to me at the Dr.'s office, I knew my BP was around 130/85, I take garlic supplements and monitor it twice a day, In June for semi-annual check up nurses assist, first got a reading of my systolic being 164 (don't even remember diastolic), I told her I knew that was wrong, took it again and 155, still told her that wasn't right. When my Dr. came in she took my BP manually, which most Dr.'s are hesitant to do and got my normal reading of 132/84. NOW think of the person who doesn't have a BP machine at home and had normal BP, but got a much higher reading at the Dr. they would've been giving a script for meds they don't need at all !! Just imagine how many people are taking BP meds not needed !!

​@@Cat-hk4de i brought mine in the 70's when we were stationed in persia. it has been bred by me since then. i grow in humus. you need very high quality soil for this. they need pretty constant moisture. depending on your location and weather, you want as much sun as possible unless it goes much above 85F. i usually plant mine to get afternoon shade unless it is a la nina summer. you need to space them a foot apart. don't fertilize too much. i compost arborist wood-chips which takes 3yrs and i grow wildlife food over the mounds so lots of poo enriches the compost. i also use urine and humanure but that will give you different results depending on your diet. i have been synthetic and animal free since early 80's. here in the states, from time to time, the closest thing i can find to my beets is: Persian Star Beet = Purple Star Beet = Burgundy Beet = Star Beet. also shiraz beets should be close too. shiraz is a city in persia. more available varieties like chioggia, detroit dark red, and avalanche may be the quickest rout. tonda di chioggia is also quite good. all these have some persian star in their parentage. starting a garden is a great thing. just remember. you DO NOT fertilize plants. you build soil. never use synthetics. do not kill bugs, no, not even with organic pest control (unless there are no predators for them like spotted lanternfly). pests have predators. if you spray, you will continue to have pest pressure. if you allow your garden to achieve balance, the predators will keep the pests under control for you. never try to do the work nature can do better. be lazy. expect little food for the first 3yrs. after that you should see improvements if you have done it right. these are some of what i have learned after 50yrs of growing my own food 🙂

I used to have very high blood pressure and went on medication. Back during COVID, since I wasn't going out to lunch, I started going outside for a few minutes a day. That was pretty boring so I'd listen to a KZbin video and walk around the block. Pretty soon I was going on longer walks and listening to podcasts. Now I'm getting 15k-30k steps a day and listening to audio books. I always hated exercise (except for paintball I'd do with friends on the weekends when I was in my 20s) but walking in nature while lost in the world of a novel is fun and effortless. I also have been doing intermittent fasting (OMAD), no alcohol, and low carb during the week but going out for drinks and a restaurant meal on Fridays and enjoying reasonable carbs on the weekends. I've lost 80+ pounds, dropped one heart prescription and about to drop the other. My waist has gone from 44 to 36 and hopefully will continue to drop another 2-4 inches.

Great stuff. I'm on BP medication, not because i'm hypertensive, but because of my stress and each time i went for BP check up my BP will be high but when i'm at home everything was ok, so the doctor put me on medication. I would like to know how can stop these tablets and go natural, with a lot of professional help of course. What should i do?

Excellent overview of many powerful non-medication ways to lower high blood pressure that work for most people. I am an integrative nutrition coach and I just love the way you take a well-rounded approach to various aspects of lifestyle, with practices that are accessible and feasible, without being extreme about diets. Thank you for getting the good news out there!

Walking is my main exercise. I walk six days a week for 30-60 minutes. It's so good for me. I can't explain it but my instinct in my brain has always been towards walking. As if I'm wired to do it.

[@lizbilson6602]

I’m 67 and live in Australia and not even sure how I stumbled on your podcast yesterday but very happy I did! 🤗 I don’t have ‘high’ blood pressure per say but would like it to be a little bit lower and I’m always ‘all in’ when it comes to the natural approach to things. I love your straight forward info without trying to sell your viewers things and without any of the medical jargon that we lay folk don’t even understand most of the time anyway. You have cemented the things I knew about blood pressure and some that I didn’t. For example - I never ever knew that your blood pressure SHOULDN’T be taken on your right arm! Why do doctors always do this? 🤷‍♀️ And just for the record - I ‘power’ walk every second day for 2-2 1/2 hrs around my area ..,, and I absolutely love and eat regularly 4 of the 5 ‘special’ foods that you mention. Unfortunately - I am unable to come to the party with the green tea! 🤣 Thank ‘you’ for helping ‘us’ to stay healthy. I will be watching a lot more of your videos in the future. Might I just add that you have a great speaking voice and you’re easy on the eye which is a bonus …, at least for us female viewers! Happy & healthy days to everyone! 🤗

[@AdamJStoryDC]

@@lizbilson6602 it’s not that it “shouldn’t” but rather you should be consistent and the left arm is closer to the heart and there are less divisions of the artery from the heart. You’ll see in the comments people asking “what if I don’t have a left arm?” Obviously you could use the right arm, but always be consistent for standardizing the exam.

Thanks doc! My systolic bp is consistently 20 points higher at the dr office than at home. However, even at home it was too high (runs in family). I am on 3 BP meds no matter what diet I eat or exercise. It actually did best on 100% plant based, now back to Mediterranean. My bp is around 120 / 80 on average and I have no side effects from the meds. My weight is normal and so are all blood values. I envy folks who can do this without meds, but I am equally grateful for medical science to get me in a great physical place together with diet, exercise and breathing exercises / working on mental health.

As mentioned beets do have quite a strong flavor and it will overpower most other things. I've found that mixing the beets with garlic, bell peppers, spinach, tomatoes, carrots and onions as a base for my meals (beef, chicken, fish) with a little cooking wine (two tablespoons) makes everything so much better. I don't taste the beets at all. I now have them every day. The beets are about 100gm -150 gms per serving. I put these in a food processor to chop them up. I was doing it by hand at first but now chop two days worth every time. Now I always have them waiting in the wings for my next meal. I also eat them with Oat meal. Yeah, you heard that right! :-)

I love, love, love beets. If you get them, scrub them, wrap in foil and bake them in the oven. When soft, let them cool, peel them a little and slice them up - they are sweet as candy. If I don't have time to fuss around, I always keep a glass jar of sliced pickled beets in the refrigerator.

You answered my question! I started taking magnesium regularly and my bp lowered significantly. I was taking it to help me with sleep and leg cramping. Suddenly I had a super low bp episode. My Dr couldn't explain it. I asked both him and pharmacist if magnesium could have lowered it. They both said no. But it is the only change I have made. As a result I have stopped water pills and believe I may need to reduce the other meds as well. Thank you for confirming what I believed.

This is the by far, the best simple explanation I have ever heard. Thank you for simplifying everything. I listened to so many KZbins on breathing that I was sure the next person was going to tell me to blow it out my ears. Lol Chest AND abdomen all at once. Perfect! 68 years old and trying to bring this monster down naturally. Now from listening to your mini lecture, I know how to walk, eat, breathe, what supplements to take (I'm taking them all at the moment) but most of my stress comes from my worrying brain. This will be my biggest challenge. I live in my 'survival' brain, always waiting and on guard for the tiger behind me to attack. I wish so much (from the bottom of my heart) that I could believe in god because it helps so many people...but I don't... so I have to find a way to feel 'safe'. I never feel safe. I'm always waiting for the other ''shoe to drop''. I live in the primitive brain. I need to find that better version of myself that does not worry. Thank you again so much for this wonderful, simple to understand mini lecture. ((hugs)) to you and everyone....

[@usadaily135]

Ms. Karen, I am a year older than you and live alone with no family around and since covid event avoided everybody (not that I had any close friends...) I understand you completeky because I've been there. I resolved this issue by deciding that I would do whatever I can think of to ANTICIPATE bad outcomes such as tripping, slipping/falling in bath/shower, forgetting to close/secure doors, windows, timers for everything, never out after sunset, I am learning to shoot a gun at the shooting range now, etc... basically do whatever I can think of. After that, I decided that if a " shoe drops", I would have done my best and leave it to my reflexes, fast thinking and basically cross that bridge when/if I get there. That is the way I found peace. I am alone but never feel lonely and enjoy life daily: I work on line, enjoy several hobbies, reading, movies, home cooked dishes from all over the world, shopping on line, crosswords, gardening, limit time on phone and social media, I am learning my seventh language, and first and foremost take care of myself from head to toe. Tai chi, yoga, meditation, music... Life is so short: fill it with joy and pleasure not worries and apprehension. I used to love volunteering but stopped since confinement days, I hope this will inspire you. Wishing you inner peace; sincerely. :)

At age 40, put on BP medication. age 51 had a TIA, Age 70 had a major stroke. Came home from hospital and decided I would not be a burden on my kids. Changed to mostly plant based meals, chick peas, nuts and all. Still eat a little chicken, fish, eggs, salmon. Drink normal milk and coffee. Have sushi or Chicken Teriyaki bowl as a treat once a fortnight. Grow 70% of my food. homemade granola with honey. Yearly visits to heart dr at the hospital and in 2023 said he did not want to see me till 2025. Before the stroke, I had ringing in the ears, heart palpitations, mouth ulcers, UTI's constantly. All gone now. Went for an eye test for my drivers license, at 75, and was told, no noticeable deterioration. no new glasses required. Spend most of the day outside, in sunshine, working in the garden. I did have "White coat syndrome" drs know. When they make me sit for 5 minutes, it only frustrates me and makes the BP worse. I take magnesium (1314gr) daily, at night. Take nitrate oxide, till its done, then CoQ10, till its done, then a b complex bottle till its done. Love beetroot, (Grow it) ps you can buy a beet dip now. Make garlic cabbage, or sauerkraut, pickled veges, kombucha. Make a morning shot of minced garlic, ginger, lemon juice, honey, cayenne pepper and warm water. still stuck on 1/2 tsp cayenne. BP is way more under control now. Although I am still trying to kick the sugar addiction. Feeling awesome. loved this information. Thank you.

Just on #2 but I just want to say that I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and CHF (no symptoms) but low ejection fraction one year ago. I walk one mile briskly with the dog or 30 minutes on the treadmill every other day. I used to do 5 days a week but I have bad knees (got gel injection) and the ortho dr said only every other day. I’m on medication for BP and ejection fraction. Both have improved a lot. I also changed my diet. I have a healthy cereal (bran flakes with fruit) for breakfast. Tuna usually for lunch with veggies and fruit, and I cook Mediterranean recipes for dinner. I immediately threw out salt and butter. I use olive oil and salt free seasonings. I can eat out or at someone’s house and still be good. I feel great and, even though I didn’t need to, I lost a few pounds. I check my BP in the morning and evening everyday 1-2 hrs after taking the pill. I feel great and I had my second echo in November and the ejection fraction went from 30-35% to 50-55%! I’m having another echo done in one month. I’m hoping to get some more good ideas from you. So far I’m enjoying your videos and I have subscribed. Thank you so much. My big problem more is I love to have a small dessert after dinner so I’m probably eating too much sugar so I have to work on that. Thank you! I look forward to more videos from you.

Yes the closer it gets time for my next wellness exam, I start obsessing about my BP until my BP is sky high by the time I get to the doctor. However, it's normal to low outside of the doctors office. And oddly enough, my BP never goes up when I go to my gynecologist for that exam. He said it's because I'm mot there to follow up on my BP. So the most invasive, intrusive exam does not run my BP off. But the hello how have you been doing doctor runs my Bp up to 180/100 ( and that with taking an extra 50 mg of Atenolol before I go). That told me something-if 100 mg of a beta blocker isn't enough to stop White coat syndrome, why have I been taking this poison every day for the past 30 years. I started a lifestyle program, HIIT, daily breathing exercises, good nutrition and sleep hygeine. I've weaned myself off the Atenolol and Aldactone.
