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……
That's amazing great job
Thanks for sharing this information Dock. Am going try it.
Thanks for sharing so be ready to go for 90 day's to see a change. Got it thanks again for sharing.
Your blood pressure numbers have never been alarmingly high. Now that you are into healthy living, there are no circumstances under which you should allow yourself to take any blood pressure meds with their many side effects. You got this!
Such great news 🙏🏽🙏🏽
woke up this morning and IM in panic that my BP is 178//115 thats when I stumble on your video and watching it for 8 m ins I got up put my shoes on and started walking for 15 mins.and back and my BP drop 150/98 and comtinued watching you video to the end .You inspired me a lot to do something for long term for my health .I thank you so much for a very very good video you just gave me more years to live..You have a good heart ......God bless you
How is it now? Mine sits around 145/95. But spikes way up to 170/118.
When I started I couldn't walk to the mailbox without puffing..even at 120 pounds, and eating non junky food, watching what I eat, always have..I started to walk my counting powering posts and I got to 7 slowly first week, now after 2 months I fast walk 140 a day..or 6 miles, 11k steps on iPhone...And yes, my 180 over 100 bp came down to under 120 over 80 now when I do it, and it lasts about 10 hours..Sadly I wake up with it high again.
I have the same problem. I'll go for a 3 mile walk and my BP lowers to 138/96 but the next morning it's at 180/110

Finally, a Doc that has holistic mindset
I can honestly say the walking 20 minutes minimum a day worked for me and lower my blood pressure
Food is medicine. Walking and breathing are free. Knowing this information, priceless. Thank you so much Dr. Story.
Glad you enjoyed it
Im also hypertensive, I’m from the philippines btw. We have history in the family. My bp is in the hypertensive side like 140/90 up- highest is 170/100 To reverse the pressure to normal i do the following. 1. Tapping my finger tips all of them. 2. Deep breathing 3. Eat avocado, oatmeal/glass of pineapple juice, green tea sometimes works 4. Decreased fatty foods 5. Increasing green foods, avoiding sugar 6. Some exercise TM, walking, biking no heavy liftings for me. House chores is good also 7. Stress free life style 8. Avoid commenting from social media. 9. Smile and relax the body 10. being calm in most annoying day. Hope it helps.
Am crying here thank you am tired of blood pressure 😪😪😪
Tapping fingers benefits?

Walking is an underrated exercise ,i am very over weight,and i started walking again in late 2021,i started with a short walk around the block 10-15 minutes ,but currently i do about 2.7 miles a day ,well worth doing for physical and mental health.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
V true! My Dad's only way of exercise was to walk walk and more walk. He is healthy at 90 whereas I have problems in my 40s.
Regular walking or fast walking?

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.
Thanks for sharing this! I need to get new batteries.

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 guy is so good because he doesn't have a horse in the diet race, but includes all diet kinds and honors their function. This allows good logic that gets to the roots of therapy regarding food. We'll done for for being pragmatic and objective! Thank you for the clear unbiased advice.
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!
Great story! Congratulations!
@@AdamJStoryDC 🙏
Thank you very much Doc. It has really inspired me. I have been a high BP patient for the last 22 yrs. My last reading Three days ago was 120/70. I don't know exactly what I could have done right because at times goes up to 198/110. I will certainly follow your advice to keep my BP low. Stay well and BLESSED.
@@gracefoya4609 great information
As I was watching this I took my bp - 153/92 before trying the breathing. 126/75 straight after the breathing! I was amazed. Thank you, Adam. From the bottom of my heart ❤️
Ohhh that’s pretty awesome and I have done this with walking and my sugar levels! Lowers drastically! I love this and he is so down to earth.
Isn't that just a temporary effect though Susan?
@@bethphilip3419 I’m still working that out but I imagine it’s something I would need to do daily to get lasting effects. My understanding is that it increases nitric oxide which increases the flexibility of the blood vessels long term.
@@celiastarot can I skip my bp meds somedays and eat raw beetroot on those days
how long did you do the breathing excersise for?
I was diagnosed with over 200 in blood pressure back in July, after many hours of research and watching youtube, I started intermittent fasting than added keto to it. I started to walk a little every day and have lost 9 kilos since. I hope to get off the medication to a more natural way of controlling my blood pressure this year. You have really helped me and inspire me to do this. Thank you.
Cool. Welcome to the cool club.
@@AdamJStoryDC l will try you ideas
Good job. You can do it !
Thank you so much Dr Story. I've followed and enjoyed all your recommendations for some weeks now (Dale Carnegie included!) and there's been some improvement but not enough. I have myocarditis which flared up badly when I had the COVID booster. Could that be the reason? I am 87.
@@mitziandersen1702 hi I ben watching your video I was 250 4 lb now I am to 240 n I ben doing a lot of waking n my blood pressure Ben 130 73
The story about your father passing away was really touching. Your caring and sincerity really comes through. We are extremely lucky to have people like you around.
Well said … I felt truly blessed listening to Dr. Story… a good human.
White coat syndrome is real! You hit that right on the nail. I’ve been telling Doctors for over 25 years and they look at me like I’m nuts. I tell them I can even feel it high just sitting there and sure enough it’s high. Everything you are saying is so true. Thank you so much for going social and sharing so much help. 👊🏼🙏🏻
I have to do 2 or 3 readings at the Dr because it is always high. Sometimes, I get stressed at home when I take it. I need to listen to music or put something on TV to lower it
Same! How do you control it? Any tips? I have a doc appt next week and I’m worried.
@@hollyjohnson87 I usually make them take it twice by the second time the anxiety goes away
I can feel my pulse in my ears when i go to the doctor's office, even my chiro, who is so great and non-judgemental. I always feel like I'm about to be judged for every wrong choice I've ever made in my life, and the results are in the numbers. But at my last chiro visit, I'd actually been having headaches, so the symptoms were worrisome, and then I got a reading in both arms. Hence why I'm here...
Right there with you!!! I am also looking for any tips to less the white coat freak out
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 !!
I am 69 an always had perfect bop readings. However I had pains in my chest with bad headaches and mild nosebleeds. I have a lot of stress at the moment and went to the drs. She took my bp and it was 183/90 very high. I did not receive any medicines and am now concerned, although today it was 137/81. Can you give me some ides what is happening. Thanks mel
@@melindaboucher try natural first since you were not given any meds, garlic or garlic capsules, beetroot powder or just eat beats, but needless to say, I am no Dr.
@@melindaboucherthe number is different from minute to minute... try to stay calm for 20m before taking your blood pressure... Extra virgin olive oil works for sure
@@SmileyApple-xj5mf Do you mean that taking EVOO lowers BP? TYVM.
❤❤❤
My doctor’s practice is on the third floor … I’m terrified of elevators so I take the stairs. This increases my blood pressure. Knowing this my doctor takes two readings…the beginning of the exam and the end of the exam. It’s always back to normal on the second reading👍. Perhaps more doctors should do two readings during a physical exam.🤓👍
Fantastic session. So glad i'm a subscriber !
Thanks infinitely Doctor . U r helping the world.🙏
This is great, I’m on the right track💃🏽

Hi doctor I mon high blood pressure med and the first time I went to the doctor he didn’t believe how high my pressure was he but me on med I had limited excess to internet at the time I didn’t know much now I do have internet and I been watching you ever since. And learning from KZhead and I m improving slowly but I got angry a lot and I will follow your suggestion on writing things down thank you so much for your great show
Thank you so much Dr. Story for taking the time to make this very informative video on lowering your blood pressure. Blessed to have people like you out there. Very well done! Will pass on to my friends and family.
Great information. Thank you.
Brilliant video thank you 🙏❤️
Great video, this summarizes and goes into some depth on a variety of BP hacks that are efficacious for a lot of people. I try to put all 6 of these into practice, adding beets to my diet is just the latest. In my case I think I need to lower stress because the past 18 months have been stressful to say the least. I might try reading the Carnegie book or some other things for emotional relief.

You are so welcome!
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 KZhead 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 Adam, you help many people with your advice.
Great ...thank you so much for that bit of knowledge

The fantastic Article I enjoyed it for 45 minutes. I'm 80 years old. I've had high Blood Pressure for 35 years. My father died on his 49th birthday. 5 in my brothers, I've already died. And one sister, because they wouldn't go to the doctor I've had 5 bypasses put in a 92. And I currently have 19 steps. I've been with the same cardiologist here in Boise Idaho. Since 1990 five, he has not explained. The things to me like you just didn't last 45 minutes. I appreciate your time and I'll be working towards some of these goals. I am across country truck driver.

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.
What a great guy. Thank you i will watch you again.
Thank you for contributing to the well being of so many people
Thanks for the tips in this video. I’m a 61 year old male Trying to always stay in shape. For 10 years trying to keep my blood pressure to normal. It’s in normal range at home but when I go get my checkups at the Dr it always goes higher. I try to do all those things you mentioned in video. But when I go for my checkups the Dr always thinks I have high blood pressure ever time he thinks I’m lying about staying in shape .
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!
Thank you so much. Very informative
Very informative and relevant. Wow
Excellent advice Doc, I’ve been on medication for over 20 years, retired 5 months ago & started regular exercise & eat properly, reduced stress level too since I’m not working. Yes already see results & BP has dropped.. now I’ll follow your others advices, maybe one day I can stop taking those medications..
I started barefoot walking 30 mins, 120 days ago- Earthing/Grounding Many benefits but still working on lowering BP. Already do most of these now.
