    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.

I simply cut out All SUGAR of any kind and I use the Redmond season salt on all my meats. My cardiologist was blown away! I also had a mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation and it has healed itself; just by keeping my blood pressure at normal! I feel better, look better and will never go back.

    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. I love listening to your videos as you explain things where everyone can understand them.

    #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.

If you walk up a small mountain/hill, say, maybe 400 feet of vertical rise, you’ll get a good workout and if you come back in two or three days, you’ll find it gets much easier the second, third and fourth times. Just pace yourself and don’t try go faster than your ability, or keep up with someone faster. Cheers!

    Hello Doc, I have greatly benefited from your advice and I bought your book as well!!! I'm a 73 years young Polio survivor with rather severe post-polio syndrome, especially in my legs. 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. I lost about 40 lbs. down to 167 lbs. while confined to a power wheelchair. SO, THANK YOU!

However when my blood pressure reaches what they think is optimal I feel light-headed and start feel like I'm going to pass out. I have been saying this to them for years. I started to just take half of that amount.

While playing 3-4 times a week a couple hours at a time, my bp was 120 over 70 with a pulse of 55 bpm. After the knees went, even with exercising 5 days a week, my pressure stayed in the 145 over 85 range even with daily meds. I started the Keto diet with intermitten fasting 2 months ago. I've lost 20 pounds and my average bp is now 118 over 65 with a heart rate of 52. I dumped the meds 6 weeks ago when I saw my bp dropping. Oh and btw, I love salt and eat several pinches a day of Himilayan and salt everything but bacon.

    My BP went up to an average of 150/90 for while and the Doc suggested I go on medication. I had been on Keto before the lockdowns started in early 2020 but got lazy and started eating bread again. Anyway, when back to Keto and reduced my BP to an average of 144/90. It's not great maybe but I am glad I stayed off the meds.

    So hard to find a doctor that echos this message. The organizations that set the standards for doctors to follow make it difficult. Seemingly due to structured or special interest. I have looked near and far with no luck as far as in my "network" and align with my insurance provider. Oh, and if you get involved with you own health, I’ve found most "doctors" are put off by your own research. They want a brain dead sheep that just swallows pills they write prescriptions for. Very frustrating! My last visit I was told "stop taking vitamin d3" It was a whopping 82 NGC/mL. You'd thought it was 200 by the doctor's reaction.

      Hmm. That seems sarcastic?
      My audio has lots of decompression noise in it.
