I didn NOT limit my salt when I lowered my long standing hypertension. I DID switch to Himalayan sea salt. I also eliminated/reduced my grains and sugar. Also added bone broth and quit dairy. My maintenance is mainly staying away from gluten and sugar.
I’m doing all of the same thing except I haven’t gotten rid of dairy I honestly feel like I can’t I love sour cream I love yogurt I love eggs I love different kinds of cheeses
The whole no salt argument has been proven to have almost no effect on blood pressure. Going low carb which it seems like you did is the best way to go.
Have your blood work done via a medical doctor. HBP can be caused by stress adrenal gland issues or heart problems etc...... Potassium levels are important as well. Potassium levels high or low directly effect heart function. Know your blood levels b4 you change your diet. Unrefined salt is best but it's still salt. Buy unsalted food and add your own unrefined salt.
As a pharmacist, I also encourage people to consult their doctor. There are many different causes for high blood pressure, and sodium and potassium are important electrolytes to keep in balance within the body for heart, kidney, and many other important body functions. I encourage all of my patients to eat well and live a healthy lifestyle, but sometimes due to certain health conditions and genetic risks, medications have a place also. Suddenly lowering or stopping blood pressure medications without checking with your doctor can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Some medications cause rebound hypertension, have to be adjusted slowly, or can raise potassium, so consulting with your doctor is essential! I just care about the health of others and safe medication use, so thanks again for this post!
Hi Bobby + family. Your videos have been life changing & so inspiring for my boyfriend & I. Ever since discovering your channel back in 2019 we’ve completely flipped our eating habits from what people think is “healthy & nutritious” to what truly is healthy & nutritious. It’s changed our entire physiology in ways we never would have imagined & our bodies won’t even let us go back to sugary sliced bread & cheap processed cooking oils. You’ve actually inspired my boyfriend to go into law. He dreams to “take down Big Corn Syrup” LOL. He basically wants to make the impact you are but at the legal level & improve the way brands & nutrition labels are marketing their products. If you have any advice for him, please let us know! We love you guys! Thank you for changing the world one video at a time.
Thank you so much for this video! My dad had high blood pressure and I have been trying to do research to find the best foods for him because it worries me so much and my mom doesn’t know much about the effects of food to high blood pressure. So I’m trying to help. Thank you Bobby!!
My daughter, Dawn, was diagnosed with Celiac Disease (she was Downs Syndrome & passed 3 years ago). I have, been, using sea salt, Ezekiel bread, & Amy's products for years, but, I still have high blood pressure. Love all your videos about health!
So sorry to hear about your child. As far as your health is concerned, high blood pressure is nothing to fool around with. It’s no secret that I’m not a big Bobby fan. Especially when he gives advice that can actually hurt people. When I read your post, I’m concerned that you believe that Celtic Sea salt if OK if you are hypertensive. In spite of what Bobby may say, it is not! If you are salt sensitive, any salt is bad for you. You can not use food to treat hypertension. If you are not already doing so, please seek professional medical treatment, from a qualified doctor. Take care of yourself! Jay - MD
Yes you can some take longer medication for a long time it harms your inside and we do know doctors only manage the simtems there's no money in curing any one
@@Jay-xw6hr can I ask, if you don’t like Bobby then why are you on here and giving advice? No one is asking for your advice or anyone’s advice per se. Now, Bobby hasn’t said anything that’s “harmful” at all as many people have pointed out in other comments you’ve made. He’s saying what to stay away from when using food as a way to heal. Did he say anywhere in the video not to use medicine or not to see your doctor? He’s only providing information we should all know about regarding what’s in these so called foods we eat and guiding us toward what’s best for us and what to look for? I wouldn’t eat canola oil or peanut oil but yes, I’d eat extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil. With the pandemic, we have see what our medical industry is truly capable of and while there are some awesome doctors out there, there are also some really bad ones who don’t care about their patients. The industry is starting to show its true colors which is why so many people have lost trust in their doctors and in medicine. When side effects are brutal, no one needs to take those meds. Let’s practice healthy eating, walking and enjoying life, and look for the root cause of the issue, not bandaids.
@@Jay-xw6hryou can most certainly use food to lower BP. Don't be on here spreading misinformation in hopes more people will buy your BP drugs! MD does not mean you speak facts..... my MD would disagree with that trash.
Thank you for doing this video. I love to eat soup but I have avoided buying can soups because they have so much sodium in them. It’s good to know there are low sodium soups available. I would love to see more health related videos! Great video! ❤️
Sorry Bobby but Thrive Market isn’t any cheaper than a grocery store. You may find one or two items that are but so are grocery stores in general, something is always cheaper somewhere else. Plus they’re also very limited in items you can purchase. Not worth paying for membership unless you live far away from grocery stores. I can purchase that 4th and Heart ghee at my local store for $9.99 while TM sells it for $11.99.
I actually avoid thrive market bc of politics. I finally made it big last year career wise and financially, then they sent out some stupid newsletter about an ism and demonized good people. That was it for me. I do think it's, Thrive is good place, because there are hard to find items there though at what I think reasonable prices. Plus that are transparent with labels.
@@Mark_Knight "Politics" certain "ism"...the coded language is so insecure, its hilarious Lol. So their newsletter condemning racism and doing better as a community made you so mad? If anything, this is exactly why they are right to take a stand. #BlackLivesMatter
@@cristinachira I am sure he shops everywhere he can find good stuff for good prices. There’s no one go-to store for everything. I like to pull all of them up online and compare prices for the items I need. I don’t mind making 2-3 stops if it means getting my avocado oil or primal kitchen dressings for cheaper. I’m sure Bobby does it that way too.
Hi Bobby, thank you very much for such detailed information on groceries. Six months I watch your videos and keep my blood pressure and pulse under control. My vital signs are normal all the time. Following your information I lost 45 pounds and have more energy. Now I don't take any medication and I don't need a doctor. Great savings and good health! Thank you so much. I wish your family good health and happiness. 🙂🥑🍒🍓
He can't because he tells the truth about food and big food companies won't like what he says and therefore won't sponsor him w/commercials. This is the perfect platform for him :) But I see your point about him deserving more mainstream recognition
Great info. Our 56 yr old dad had massive heart attack. Sister and I studied studied studied some more. The man whod died 3 times for 14 minutes total, drs said would not live if he did would be a vegetable, rallied through prayer power of God, left hospital 3 weeks later under his own power. Hundreds of medical professionals came to see 'the miracle man'. We changed his diet completely. Within 4 yrs he was off half the meds, within 6 yrs no meds. Drs kept taking notes asking us what have you done? Real foods, healthy drinks good minerals. We would empty canned soups through a strainer then add distilled water. Learned how to cook with spices and herbs, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil brownies and baked goods.
Foods to eat to lower your BP beside reducing your salt intake: 1. Potassium rich foods (baked potatoes, pistachios, avocado, Swiss chard raw, prunes, spinach cooked, dried apricots, sweet baked potatoes, banana.....) 2. Magnesium rich foods (cocoa powder, Brazil nuts, pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, spinach boiled, Swiss chard, white beans, black beans, oatmeal...) 3. Calcium rich foods (Yogurt non fat or low fat, soy milk calcium fortified, collard greens cooked, sardines canned with bones, Edamame, tofu...) 4. Soy (tempeh, tofu, Edamame, soy nuts, soy milk..) 5. Dark Chocolate (2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder or one to 2 square of dark chocolate). And the best of the best, deep breathing for 5 minutes will lower your blood pressure like crazy.
I was literally denied a job last week because of high blood pressure, and I found all your other videos about what's good to eat etc. However in the week that has passed, and me being on bp medicine, it has went down quite a bit, but I'm looking forward to this video.
Bobby I think if you are going to make videos about foods that can lower BP you should put/mention a disclaimer at the beginning. I see many comments coming through how people are not taking meds for HBP. Not everyone cam be off meds. I am a nurse and saw too many people who ended up with strokes from not taking their prescribed meds. There are people who are under tbe impression that diet alone can change everything. For some people yes and for others no. If I were you I would mention at the beginning of these types of videos that you are only giving info about foods that can possibly help their situation but everyone should talk to their doctor. Even md sites that give advice about diet say to consult with your own md first

@@smileswyo Rebound hypertension. Excellent point! As an aside, I'm also concerned when he gives advice on diabetes. As you know, medication dosage, including insulin, is based, in part, on diet. A radical change in diet, without adjusting med dosage, can have serious consequences. Jay - MD
As a person who was diagnosed with HBP and type 2 diabetes I am puzzled by the comments here, hypertension and type 2 diabetes can be reversed really quickly... I don't take BP meds nor do I take insulin and no longer am I even considered diabetic per my doc, everything Bobby is promoting is exactly what I did nutritionally plus resistance training and cardio. American's are over medicated, have poor nutritional density in our food and truly sleep deprived. I would also like to add our medical doctors are trained in a curriculum that has medicine attached not food for healing so of course they will promote meds hence the over medicated part...
Prepare fresh food and the little bit of good pink salt you use will not be a problem. Prepared foods are loaded with bad salt and then people add even more.
You have helped me understand what oils to buy. Amy's is my favorite. I have only found low sodium soup .My store only has the lentil soup. The Amy's frozen has no low sodium options in my store.
Bobby, you should look into Dr. James DiNicolantonio’s work showing that low salt diets are actually the opposite of good health. Salt is not the problem for the vast majority of people.
Hi . I m great fan of the info abt various diets and how they affect body .I'm a researcher in immunology and a doctor . I want to request if u can do a series for UK based Aldi and other supermarkets doing the healthy ingredients and packed staples .
Sodium is bad because it holds excess water in blood volume creating pressure on blood vessels. I simply do not buy any packed or canned food with more than 150 mg of sodium per serving! You will find many organic items (even per slice of bread with as high as 350 mg of sodium) with added sugar and salt to compensate for the loss of taste. Indian spice powder, seafood, and dried fish in Chinese markets can have a ridiculous >2000 mg of sodium per serving. In case you have eaten too much sodium-rich food, eat a banana or avocado to let the potassium drain out the excess sodium. Green tea can help drain the excess water out of your body.
Thanks for a great video! Can you do a kidney friendly video? Some folks with kidney disease need to avoid too much potassium, phosphorus and salt. Also, whole grain bread would be something to avoid as it stresses the kidneys.
I love Ezekiel 4:9 products, they don't sell it in our supermarket here in the UK, I normally gets it from the health shop like planet organic or online. Whenever I visited I always try to bring back a few bit n bobs that I can't get in Costco 😁, thanks Bobby 👍
thank you for posting this because although i'm receiving knowledge about "clean" foods. They contain high sodium, especially the frozen foods. Amy's brand and many vegan dishes have huge amounts of sodium in them.
Hi Bobby!😄 Love all your videos! Hoping you could touch on the issue/question of micro plastics in salt and also...the use of tripolyphospate in frozen shrimp and scallops. Thank you!
Thank you so much for doing this. I really also like that you’ve been including diabetes in the videos as well so that I am able to tell what really is good for me at the grocery store and not just keto or Paleo which is not often is good for me as you would hope. Best wishes and a big hug to Rose honey
If refined salt tastes more salty then couldn’t you use less of it than unrefined salt, potentially meaning a nearly comparable spike in blood pressure?
Buy organic chicken and veggies and make your own soup at home. It is how I control sodium, add very little salt to it, but spice it up with pepper, also add parsely, lemon, and EVOO. Add in the veggies you like and some pasta. It is delicious, low sodium, low calorie. I have not had canned soup in years.
Thanks Bobby, we've been waiting for this video from the gate..... We are about the same age and I love how you lace your vids with lyrics.... Many probably don't catch it...
As a truck driver .....truck stops bomb 💣us with foods high on sodium....this was very helpful...👍👍I now Uber to whole foods every city I go to... was hoping to see Chef Rosalinda show us how to do chocolate chip cookies 😁
Very good to talk about things being said! Diet is important ! I would still continue to take meds as per discussion with md. I hope people understand foods are so important but should still talk to md about any other changes. You did not say foods replace meds and I hope people understand this. Thank you for info! Read labels!!
Yes, and I will continue not needing to take any medication by not seeking a Doctors input as they have never helped me heal myself as I have and will continue. I completely agree with reading all labels as well.
You obviously don't do your research on "meds". Meds do NOT help with blood pressure or diabetes. They do nothing but keep you on a vicious never-ending cycle. Blood pressure goes up.... take a pill.... blood pressure artificially goes down.... repeat. It's nothing more than a band-aid. Same with diabetes. You eat... blood sugar goes up.... you take artificial insulin.... blood sugar goes down.... repeat. This does NOT take care of the issue. It actually makes it WORSE. Not only that.... the side affects of these "helpful" medications is what will kill you. Please do your research BEFORE you try and tell people that they need to continue taking their killer meds. 🙄
@@ramonaproctor8499 Not everyon can be without . Cannot say all meds not good. Cannot work for some people just diet. Strokes are one of the biggest killers in tne US. I am a nurse and have had many people have strokes - they stopped taking meds.
@@maril1379 If you don't want to work at it.... then by all means, take the poison that the doctors prescribe. Diet CAN work for EVERYONE if they're willing to work at it. Obviously, you being a nurse means NOTHING. You're as bad (or worse) than the doctors shoving the pills down everyone's throat. Do some real research and then come back and we can discuss further. Until then, talk to the 🤚 because that's how much your opinion is worth 🥴🥱
Hi Flavcity! And Brad! "Amy's'" definitely does their soups right! Love the "Siete" Chips! I love what the Beet chips do to help out with the body's liver! I totally agree with getting the Coconut oil-superfood instead of canola oil which already scares me! 😲I am with Rose🌹 with saying, "Not, not, not, now!" ☝Ezekiel 4:9🍞really does work well in the body as far as breaking up and doing its job! Take care guys!💕☮
Can you make a low mold diet for people with weak immune systems. I don't eat citric acid (the synthetic kind in most boxed foods - it's made from GMO corn and mold) or mushrooms, or anything derived from fungus or mold.
I’m trying to explain your healthy suggestions, especially for better health to my dad and his wife. The problem is my dad doesn’t speak English too good, and his wife doesn’t speak English at all. Do you have any videos in Spanish or any suggestions for other people who make Spanish videos like yours, Especially explaining the chemicals the are dangerous in foods before harvesting or chemicals in animals?
Thank you so much. For your dedication into steering us into healthy eating. I was looking for a video on how to Lower high cholesterol. LDL @161 I've seen a few and and some how aware of what to do but I would love to see 1 of your videos covering this condition. 😉💯❤️
Bobby these are the best videos, no distractions, so informative and to the point. We are low sodium and no sugar in this house. Your videos help so much. Thank you
I am from Pakistan and the salt mine is amazingly beautiful salt is making all kinds of shapes makes it look mesmerizing !! pink salt is the best for sure!:)
Thank you, didn’t realise there was so much difference in salts. I have a good understanding in oils, good top up info. We don’t get the variety in breads here, but will have a good look at them next shopping day. Thank you.
Hi booby me n my son biggest fan of u and 🌹. We love her dyingly.m vegetarian age 48.suffring from high blood pressure and hypertension. Need some more tips for vegetarian

You all should contact Doctor Salami on Instagram salami_healing_herbs. for any cure I just got cured from High Blood Pressure using his herbal med. All thanks to him.
Bobby is a great chef and definitely means well when it comes to his videos. But please consult a doctor when making decision about diet and high blood pressure. Bobby is not a doctor, or a nutritionist. His claims are based on internet research that we all have access to. You do not want to make important medical decisions based on what a you tuber says.
@@fglend73 I was being a little sarcastic. But overall, doctors don't know much more about nutrition than the typical American eating the SAD diet. And we need to take responsibility for ourselves! I've taken nutrition courses -- the worst was at university level which encouraged seed oils, carbohydrates for diabetics and taught nothing about ingredients (the old dogma), but truly learned from the nutritionally educated who teach people to eat the way we were meant to eat, before processed foods. It's opened my eyes and changed my life.
Hi Bobby I absolutely LOVE your channel! Rose is is so stink'n ADORABLE & a great help! ☺️ Question: my husband & I like to make iced coffee at home, what would be a good flavored creamer to use? Currently we use Silk Almondmilk Creamer, others have alot of garbage in it. 😊
I lowered my blood pressure with organic fruits and veggies! Extra virgin olive oil is huge! Off my blood pressure meds!!!
That's AWESOME! Congratulations🎉
Awesome…congratulations! That’s what I’m trying to do and my husband but it’s been a bit tough. Thankfully we have this video to help.
Food is medicine!! Eat Real Food!
@@Pulpswo Exactly! There's no reason to ever be taking pills. No excuses!

Bobby, you should look into Dr. James DiNicolantonio’s work showing that low salt diets are actually the opposite of good health. Salt is not the problem for the vast majority of people.
what does that Dr say the problem is (HBP)?
My Dad removed ALL salt from his diet to lower bp and earned several mini strokes.
I agree. Salt is not the issue for high blood pressure
Stress increases BP too.
Our body needs salt, but only 1 - 1.5 teaspoon in a day.
Hi . I m great fan of the info abt various diets and how they affect body .I'm a researcher in immunology and a doctor . I want to request if u can do a series for UK based Aldi and other supermarkets doing the healthy ingredients and packed staples .
Sodium is bad because it holds excess water in blood volume creating pressure on blood vessels. I simply do not buy any packed or canned food with more than 150 mg of sodium per serving! You will find many organic items (even per slice of bread with as high as 350 mg of sodium) with added sugar and salt to compensate for the loss of taste. Indian spice powder, seafood, and dried fish in Chinese markets can have a ridiculous >2000 mg of sodium per serving. In case you have eaten too much sodium-rich food, eat a banana or avocado to let the potassium drain out the excess sodium. Green tea can help drain the excess water out of your body.
Thanks for a great video! Can you do a kidney friendly video? Some folks with kidney disease need to avoid too much potassium, phosphorus and salt. Also, whole grain bread would be something to avoid as it stresses the kidneys.
I second this request.
Me too, do a video on kidney friendly.
I eat San Luis sourdough bread
It does not have sugar
Team Bobby- I so appreciate all that you do… you are original, intentional & helpful. Thank you sir!
I love Ezekiel 4:9 products, they don't sell it in our supermarket here in the UK, I normally gets it from the health shop like planet organic or online. Whenever I visited I always try to bring back a few bit n bobs that I can't get in Costco 😁, thanks Bobby 👍
That spikes my blood sugar like crazy
I avoid carbs
thank you for posting this because although i'm receiving knowledge about "clean" foods. They contain high sodium, especially the frozen foods. Amy's brand and many vegan dishes have huge amounts of sodium in them.
Hi Bobby!😄 Love all your videos! Hoping you could touch on the issue/question of micro plastics in salt and also...the use of tripolyphospate in frozen shrimp and scallops. Thank you!
Redmond Real Salt (from Utah) from my research has the least micro plastics
Thank you so much for doing this. I really also like that you’ve been including diabetes in the videos as well so that I am able to tell what really is good for me at the grocery store and not just keto or Paleo which is not often is good for me as you would hope. Best wishes and a big hug to Rose honey
Thank you for sharing all this information to keep us healthy! You are a gift to us!
You are always so spot on, but the low Salt thing is outdated.
Yup. Horribly disappointing!
Low Salt is necessary for many people. Thank you Bobby!
@@raggedyann4372 Many people who overeat carb.
@@viennehaake9149 Okay. Ask Dr Jason Fung. Ask Dr. Bret Scher. Go ahead. Do it.
If refined salt tastes more salty then couldn’t you use less of it than unrefined salt, potentially meaning a nearly comparable spike in blood pressure?
How did you know!?!?! Exactly what I needed. Thank you Bobby! 🙏🏼
Buy organic chicken and veggies and make your own soup at home. It is how I control sodium, add very little salt to it, but spice it up with pepper, also add parsely, lemon, and EVOO. Add in the veggies you like and some pasta. It is delicious, low sodium, low calorie. I have not had canned soup in years.
Thanks Bobby, we've been waiting for this video from the gate..... We are about the same age and I love how you lace your vids with lyrics.... Many probably don't catch it...
Love your videos and just used your Bobby app at Costco and loved it. Saved me a lot of time. Thanks 😊
As a truck driver .....truck stops bomb 💣us with foods high on sodium....this was very helpful...👍👍I now Uber to whole foods every city I go to...
was hoping to see Chef Rosalinda show us how to do chocolate chip cookies 😁
Thank you so much
I have high blood pressure and felt lost Now I feel like I have slot more information
Very good to talk about things being said! Diet is important ! I would still continue to take meds as per discussion with md. I hope people understand foods are so important but should still talk to md about any other changes. You did not say foods replace meds and I hope people understand this.
Thank you for info! Read labels!!
Yes, and I will continue not needing to take any medication by not seeking a Doctors input as they have never helped me heal myself as I have and will continue. I completely agree with reading all labels as well.
You obviously don't do your research on "meds". Meds do NOT help with blood pressure or diabetes. They do nothing but keep you on a vicious never-ending cycle. Blood pressure goes up.... take a pill.... blood pressure artificially goes down.... repeat. It's nothing more than a band-aid. Same with diabetes. You eat... blood sugar goes up.... you take artificial insulin.... blood sugar goes down.... repeat. This does NOT take care of the issue. It actually makes it WORSE. Not only that.... the side affects of these "helpful" medications is what will kill you. Please do your research BEFORE you try and tell people that they need to continue taking their killer meds. 🙄
@@ramonaproctor8499 Not everyon can be without . Cannot say all meds not good. Cannot work for some people just diet. Strokes are one of the biggest killers in tne US. I am a nurse and have had many people have strokes - they stopped taking meds.
@@maril1379
If you don't want to work at it.... then by all means, take the poison that the doctors prescribe. Diet CAN work for EVERYONE if they're willing to work at it. Obviously, you being a nurse means NOTHING. You're as bad (or worse) than the doctors shoving the pills down everyone's throat. Do some real research and then come back and we can discuss further. Until then, talk to the 🤚 because that's how much your opinion is worth 🥴🥱
@@ramonaproctor8499I will no longer respond to this . I have more important things to do.
Magnizium and zink=pumpkin seeds.
Fish oil. Use only SEA SALT.
Sunflowers seeds
Cookies with almond flowers.
Rye bread. Dark chocolate.
I have low blood pressure so I like salt raising my BP…and pumpkin seeds have a high amount of Magnesium,..
Hi Flavcity! And Brad! "Amy's'" definitely does their soups right! Love the "Siete" Chips! I love what the Beet chips do to help out with the body's liver! I totally agree with getting the Coconut oil-superfood instead of canola oil which already scares me! 😲I am with Rose🌹 with saying, "Not, not, not, now!" ☝Ezekiel 4:9🍞really does work well in the body as far as breaking up and doing its job! Take care guys!💕☮
Most of what Bobby says is true but not for those on a budget.
I agree 💯💯
I made notes, and will be implementing all of your suggestions. Thanks!
Finally! I was waiting for this!
Can you make a low mold diet for people with weak immune systems. I don't eat citric acid (the synthetic kind in most boxed foods - it's made from GMO corn and mold) or mushrooms, or anything derived from fungus or mold.
I’m trying to explain your healthy suggestions, especially for better health to my dad and his wife. The problem is my dad doesn’t speak English too good, and his wife doesn’t speak English at all. Do you have any videos in Spanish or any suggestions for other people who make Spanish videos like yours, Especially explaining the chemicals the are dangerous in foods before harvesting or chemicals in animals?
Perfect timing
Thank you soooo much for this very helpful video. 👏🏻👍🏻❣️
How about organic grass fed milk, cheese and kefir. Does that affects your blood pressure ?

Great video Bobby, and I love that your camera guy has on a VGK mask :)
Bobby, I may have missed it, but have you done a video on gluten free diet. If not will you consider doing 1?
I love your videos; I’ve been learning a lot. Do you know if is a trivet market in Canada?
I’ve been waiting for this video, thank you’
I went vegan and reversed my hypertension and pre diabetes 🌱✌🏼
Love to see it. keep it going 💪
How was your diet before?
I want ketovore and reversed my hypertension, diabetes, chronic pain from degenerative disc disease, migraine headaches and neuropathy.
Bobby is a great chef and definitely means well when it comes to his videos. But please consult a doctor when making decision about diet and high blood pressure. Bobby is not a doctor, or a nutritionist. His claims are based on internet research that we all have access to. You do not want to make important medical decisions based on what a you tuber says.
Or on what a dimbulb doctor says.
Please check with a doctor before you make changes, as person above said, he is basing his information on the Internet which we all can do.
Omg, most doctors know so little about nutrition. If they do, they learn it on internet too!
@@kathleensmith8969 right. We should just start getting medical advice from you tubers then. Problem solved!
@@fglend73 I was being a little sarcastic. But overall, doctors don't know much more about nutrition than the typical American eating the SAD diet. And we need to take responsibility for ourselves! I've taken nutrition courses -- the worst was at university level which encouraged seed oils, carbohydrates for diabetics and taught nothing about ingredients (the old dogma), but truly learned from the nutritionally educated who teach people to eat the way we were meant to eat, before processed foods. It's opened my eyes and changed my life.
Is there a vlog fir reducing bloating and inflammation?
Hi Bobby I absolutely LOVE your channel! Rose is is so stink'n ADORABLE & a great help! ☺️ Question: my husband & I like to make iced coffee at home, what would be a good flavored creamer to use? Currently we use Silk Almondmilk Creamer, others have alot of garbage in it. 😊
Greatly appreciated!
Thanks Bobby great information...
I wish I could like this video 1,000 times 😀great job and thank you 😀
