In this week's video I am going to share with you 5 ways you to help bring that high blood pressure down. Give it a watch and make sure to subscribe today: goo.gl/07Nerb

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”.
The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way. I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.
Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and UA-cam sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 UA-cam subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.

Well this worked for me . Bp was 200 over 100. I ate many many many many organic purple grapes and drank nettle seed tea and a month later bp was 120 over 80 . Focussed on the kidneys and it worked .

[@aminachanae]

Thank you I was starting to lose hope 😢

[@roter13]

When you say "focused on kidneys" could you expand on that more?

[@JR-ld1et]

Awesome !!!

I don't smoke, Cook my meal with low salt, watch my weight, as for the exercice it is quite difficult because of some physical limitations, but there are things I will try. My objectives are to reduce as much as possible my medication. Have a good and healthy day. God Bless

Thank you , Dr. for sharing this .🙏🏻

[@bnice8940]

Dear Dr. Blake Shusterman: THANK YOU for sharing such valuable information. At one point, my blood pressure was 210/110. After losing 80 pounds, exercising, eating low sodium (1,500 mg of sodium per day), eating home-cooked meals instead of eating in restaurants and eating junk food at fast food restaurants, my blood pressure is 127/74. My blood sugar is in the normal range and I no longer have to take Metformin. I still continue to take one Perindopril tablet (2.5 mg) per day.

[@jonathansand9828]

Great.

[@greaterishe7197]

Congratulations!

[@bnice8940]

@I'm happy Dear I'm happy: I'm not going to say it' was easy. Changing any behaviour is difficult at first. But, I didn't have any choice. My health was being affected by being morbidly obese. Either continue doing what I was doing by eating, and eating, and MORE eating the wrong foods and facing health challenges along the way. I always keep a variety of unsalted nuts in the house and limit myself to 1 oz. (1 oz. = 35 almonds) when cravings hit. Slow and steady, at weight loss, wins the race! I used to get frustrated when I would lose 1 pound per week, but over a year that is 52 pounds. Weight loss is worth it. Health is wealth!
I hope the New Year brings you good health, peace and happiness.🎆 🎉🎊🎇

[@preethigron817]

I'm 66 & my BP went from 156/98 down to 128/88 in 1 hr & 40 minutes. How? Its winter & all the windows are closed, so I opened them up & breathed in deeply fresh air - lots of trees in our area. So it came down via oxygenation. Based on this, we're going to get a big plant for the living room & one for our master bedroom.

At 61 years old my blood pressure is around 135 over 87 sometimes 140
June 2nd 2023 I left work. 6 weeks later I'm off my blood pressure medication and now my blood pressure around 115 / 72. Of course it fluctuates but for some reason it's now normal, the only thing I can think of is I left work. Retire as soon as you can

[@abbasmohammed3303]

Do you off blood pressure medicine with doctor help or you off it by yourself thanks

61 here, 6'2 & 97kg. My bp has hovered around 140/95ish. I stopped taking bp meds 3 weeks ago. I don't smoke nor drink. Changed my diet, reduced salt and sugar substantially. Go on walks/ aquajog regularly. Eating healthier foods, more fruit and veg. Eating 2 cloves of raw garlic, crushed & cut into small amounts swallowed with water. Adopted Wim Hof breathing techniques over the past 3 weeks and have taken a cold shower every day. Would like to see the bp go down further but shall see.
