    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 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.!

    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!

    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 CZcams 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.

    Dr Story, thank you so much. I had been doing my best to seek natural help for my high blood pressure and started took some supplements but since April..it was not going down consistently. Today this morning and afternoon...I seriously went thru and took notes.
    This morning when I was saw your you tube ..my pressure were consistently like 157 to 160 over 100 to 90. I realized I had been trying to hard to do box breathing and it wasn't working for me. Today I used your breathing method and Boi! My active pressure were like 127 to 130 over 85 to 80 but I gotta try most of your methods and let you know in 8 to 12 weeks times! Thank you

    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 !!

    You are spot on. Thank you for sharing. Reducing stress helped me. I used journaling and making pictures of the life I wanted. I also combined ginger, garlic, and other roots to make a all-day drink by boiling and reheating added water as I consumed it all day. It lowered my blood pressure. I adapted life to cardio 3-5 days at least 30 mins. on rowing machine, bike, treadmill, or swimming. Finally, moved to one meal, eat anything, food consumption, including soda on some days. Justified exercise by the steam sauna afterwards. Lost 10 pounds in 2 months and have kept it off for 4 months. Workouts have weight training too, to keep muscle mass. Now moving to the next tier to improve agility and endurance more to restart the next phase of lowering weight and blood pressure. Once again, thank you for sharing your insights. Very inspiring indeed!

    I'd lost 50 lbs 18 months ago & kept it down for a year, then my hubby had a run in w a powersaw & his hand. He was very blessed & still has everything & use but has a tingle in thumb & right side of index finer. He got depressed & wanted snacks & I fell, eventually back into bad ways.
    Put myself on 1200 cals/day--I am NOT able to get steps in, sometimes only 60/day. My knee hurt but I'm told stay off until swelling & pain are gone before I go to PT.

    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.

    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.

I'm never turning back. This is the way I am going to live for the rest of my life! My blood pressure is normal or a little lower than normal! No more drugs and bad health for me! Thank you once again! I am so glad I came across your youtube channel! I would have to say that the deep breathing was the most important realization for me. Once I accepted that it was definitely working, I was able to make other important lifestyle changes. I have lost around 25 lbs so far. I will lose even more and get down to my ideal weight for my age and body type. I think people who have pre-hypertension or hypertension would really see results if they take the breathing exercises seriously!
