I'm 57 and high BP runs in my family. I've been on meds for nearly 20 years now and my numbers are all over the place. In the past when I walked it would come down but then I stopped walking. I lost my 28 year old son in 2020 to cancer and I just went downhill in a spiral. I'm 212 Lbs and our daughter gets married next October, I've been walking on treadmill the past 2 weeks 45 minutes each session and BP has come down. It's time I put my chin up, stand tall, accept a horrible experience I cannot change and get my health taken care of for good.
If I can do it, anyone can. You will!
Wow Thomas we are so sorry to hear of your loss. We are totally behind you. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
🙏❤️🙏❤️, stay strong
I am so sorry for the passing of your son. I too had a loss and the overwhelming grief also took me to a place of weight gain and not stellar health. Sending you support on your journey back to health.
Good for you 👍
TLDR
1. Beets or beet root juice
2. Flax seed (3 tablespoons a day)
THANKS
THANK YOU 😊
🙏🏻
Beet Root Powder works better and longer that drugs
Thanks
I lowered my blood pressure significantly (140/90 to 115/75) by changing my diet. It took 6 months for the complete change. I now drink beet juice every day, oatmeal and fruit every day, ground flaxseeds every day. Lots of greens and veggies. Very little if any animal products. I already exercised regularly so I couldn't change that.
Good call scott. Nice work. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Awesome, Does animal products increase bp?
Believe the beet root juice is very good Scott is Porridge oats good as well ?
Thats funny, I lowered mine in 1 week by eating butter and steak… and No, I’m not joking. Drs will Never tell you that blood pressure is related to blood sugar. High carbs equal high blood pressure!!!
@@dollymadeson3963 lowered mine as well by quitting all sugars and eat meat, veggies and butter
I just came across your channel and I immediately subscribed. I was diagnosed with high BP when I reached Menopause and I was put on meds and I am also a strong believer in alternative therapies. I started juicing Beets and Carrots and I am already starting to see a big drop in my BP numbers. I have Flaxseed Powder in my Kitchen cabinets and I will now take my health seriously. Thank you Docs. for your great video.
Very cool Auntie S. best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Save the pulp and put it in your smoothies add a little juice to that.
@@dessiecoder2116Grea idea
So glad to have doctors that actually promote healthy non drug ways to keep me healthy. It's so hard and so frustrating when your own personal doctor dismisses anything you Present to them other than a drug.
Hi Jean Marie. Yes food is very powerful for sure. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@Judy * I would love to unfortunately I live in an area where There is such a shortage of doctors now. I'm hoping that in 6 months or less I'll be moving to a much more populated area that has more selection of doctors.
I am super happy for watching this video. I've already subscribed and I hope to get more help through it .
Yes, and frustration certainly doesn't help with BP issues; finding my own doctors unhelpful too. So glad to see these two Specialist and I am following their advice.
@@calypso13100Where do you live?
The beet root suggestion is 100% spot on. I started taking it specifically for the nitric oxide and a natural athletic performance boost, and it also had a definitive effect on my blood pressure. I'm typically 120/80 or slightly lower, but on the beet root I'm consistently about 99/60.
That is awesome!
Is that not too low ? What determines it being better? Within range of 120/80 and if it’s lower it’s better but not too low?
Which brand
120/80 is a good BP
99/60 is low... anything under 100 for Systolic is too low
If you are sensitive to oxalate, be careful. Beets are high in oxalic acid.
So grateful I came upon this video, my doctor did absolutely nothing but medication, I scratch my head, nope I’ll check out how I can keep my blood pressure down, and I successfully did it, it takes effort, and a lot of reading, you are in charge of your OWN health is true 🙏🏻
Thanks
congratulations !!! Stay in good health!
Yes we are, and we MUST BE
I've been using flax seeds for about 10 yrs now adding it in all our foods , growing up in Liverpool my mum would always feed us kids beetroots & tell us to drink the juice cos it was good for us ....I still eat lots today but will get back to drinking the juice again ....I appreciate your channel and thank you both kindly 🇨🇦
You are very welcome Patricia. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Zero dairy. Zero fats which are solid at room temperature. Giant spinach salad (water soluble fiber) with an aspirin at lunchtime. Salmon, walnuts, walnut oil, cacoa. You can make an interesting grocery shopping list from the lists of foods for good cholesterol. I did it only to drop the BP and ended up losing 80 lbs without trying. I eat like a pig - all healthy foods. And I eat homemade chocolate every night before bed!
Nice
I appreciate you both for giving advice about natural ways to possibly reduce BP. Typically doctors encourage us to take meds. As I get older (76), I am more and more convinced that most of the healthcare community is only interested in promoting pharmaceuticals. They try to convince us older people that we should be on all kinds of meds. Thank you both for offering self care advice. ❤
We prefer less meds for sure very welcome
True
They’re drug reps
@@TalkingWithDocsThank you both for being so open. It's very rare to hear Medical Drs. Who advocate natural vs. Medications. Very refreshing
1. Beet root juice. 1 cup/day.
2. Flaxseed. 3 tbsp/day.
Nice summary Zee. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Regarding: beet juice. If you carry a water bottle, for a swim, hike, or run, I put in 30% beet juice and 70% water. From my experience, this is just the right ratio to make the water taste good and dilute the taste of beet juice.
Also sometimes I like to put in whole milk. Maybe 25% beet juice and the rest whole or 2% milk. (I avoid skim milk, so don't know about that.)
Wow doctors with nutritional advice. Times are changing.
They sure are Nancy. We have a specific interest in this as so many of our patients have a host of medical problems. Thanks for watching and subscribing
High time .
It's a MIRACLE!!! SO GREAT.
I have been using 3 tablespoons of beet extract along with 3 tablespoons of chopped flaxseed in a Raspberry,blueberry,banana,orange juice,yogurt smoothie for the past three days and have dropped my systolic down approx. 15-20 points and my diastolic down approx. 5-10 points and am now around the 120/80. This is after going on Chlorthalidone a month and a half ago and having to stop it because of extreme joint and muscle pain.. And the meds did not drop my blood pressure down as low. Awesome information guys!
Great to see Doctors giving advice with food intakes and natural therapy.
Thanks to both Doctors.
Very welcome Saranga. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Incorrect. CarboHYDRATE ….
....advice that most of the time does not work because they do not work ALONE, people need to make concessions somewhere, and ....in addition to...... consuming just those foods alone and indulging and neglecting other areas, simply won't give you ANY results.
"you are in charge of your own health" - exactly right. Thanks for reminding me.
Welcome John
In addition to these foods, you can try supplements that have worked for me.... 1. Stop all caffeine. 2. L-arginine 1000mg and fish oil tablets daily. These 3 things lowered my BP from 150 to 130 over 75. I am 65 yrs of age. Hope it helps you too.
Hi Michael. You are certainly correct and these will all be discussses in part 2! Thanks for watching and subscribing
You need to research the side effects of l-arginine. It is not for everyone.
Ok I will...Thank you
I can’t find beet juice in my grocery store, but I have been eating more cooked beets than I used to. I do eat at least 2T of Flax seed every day and love it.
Very nice
Me either. Must be a Whole Foods thing .
Awesome information. I’m a good Ukrainian and make the best Borscht soup. It’s made with red beets and my Baba always said you have to add sour cream to the soup so it’s creamy rather than a dark red soup. So my hubby has high blood pressure so guess what he’s going to eat for supper. Thxs Dr. Z and Dr. W. You both are awesome. ❤️🤗🇨🇦
Yay Mandy! Good luck to your husband. Thanks for watching and subscribing
From my experience, Hibiscus is excellent for helping lower blood pressure safely, and it has been studied and proven to be effective. Also, flaxseed should be ground for optimal benefits. I usually just grind about what I’ll need for a week and store it in the fridge or the freezer.
Yes grind it for sure. And we have reqd that about hibiscus too
Love you guys. So reminiscent of Bob and Brad. Great chemistry and info.
Hi, I'm 59 year old male, I have never had an issue with BP. I exersice regularly, I'm a vegetarian, I don't smoke, or drink alcohol. My BP has alway been in the normal to a bit lower range, with a low pulse. Within the past 4 months, I have noticed being dizzy, a pressure in my head, with ringing in my ears, and a bit out of breath. For the past 4 months, my BP has been as high as 158/90. Thank you. Al
Hi Al. Our blood pressure can increase as we age for a number of reasons. Keep a blood pressure journal and talk to your doctor. Best of luck.
Another informative video!
Of course I have high blood pressure. Everytime I walk into a doctor's office, it's off the charts. And the first thing the doctor will ask is if I use a lot of salt. Ironically I don't. I've never been a big salter and I really don't like things very salty.
Then I learned about white coat syndrome or white coat hypertension. My doctor had me take my blood pressure at home for two weeks and write it down. I took the readings to the doctor, along with my monitor. My readings were normal at home. My reading was again high in the doctor's office, with his monitor and mine.
I was actually off blood pressure medicine for several years but then went to a new doctor. It took me four years of seeing her to have a low to normal blood pressure reading in her office. I was taking two blood pressure medicines but am down to one now.
I appreciate you giving us a couple of alternatives in the form of food that can be incorporated into our diets.
I have no problem with beets as we used to grow them. And there are ways of preparing them so they don't taste like dirt.
I've also been watching another RUclipsr who has been incorporating flaxseed into her diet for it's medicinal purposes. She adds flaxseed to many recipes, especially her oatmeal bakes.
This feels like the easiest assignment you've given us! This is totally doable! And if these two ingredients can help lower blood pressure, I'm totally onboard!
Thanks again for sharing another great video!
You are welcome Vickie. And we have a followuo coming with 18 more foods. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I also usually have higher blood pressure in the doctor's office. I know I have white coat syndrome too. Recently I started deep breathing for a few minutes while waiting for the nurse to take my BP- when she did, it was perfect!
Have you got a m i r for a neurologist to check I would really get that check your brain it's important to talk to your doctor about that
Vickie i have the worst white coat syndrome. Its embarrasing as a man. My bp at home is good with meds. Stress makes a difference too
breathing excersize. Deep inhale and let it all out, all!. 10 times then let them take your BP. It will match where your BP is at home.
I put ground flax in almost everything. Cranberry sauce (low sugar home made), veggie burgers, turnip fries, red lentil patties, etc, etc. unfortunately I love beats but they are not on my diet any more.
I love to watch your videos. They are very informative with a touch of humor which keeps attentions.

Thank you sooo much. I’ve just planted beets in my veggie garden. You can slightly boiled beets and shredded plus add some lemon juice. Delicious. By the way my arteries are perfectly perfect after checking (angiogram ) but I’m working as a RRT and my BP is increasing when I’m working in prolong stress. It’s easy to say to avoid the stress, unfortunately we are not living in a perfect world. Thank you sooo much for sharing this informations.

Thank you to you both. I, as a loyal viewer of yours feel blessed. Docs, you are a blessing to me.
I have a significant family history of high blood pressure, and am trying to be vigilant to keep my BP within healthy parameters, without going on medication. So far so good. Your videos are very helpful and entertaining. Thank you for all you do. Stay happy and well.
Letting people know foods to eat if they don't want to or can't take drugs is amazing!!! We need doctors to not be so negative when people try that before drugs. Surprised that you didn't mention celery. I was under the impression that it was great to lower blood pressure. Maybe it can cause other problems? Anyway, I love knowing this. Thank you!!!
Hi Are you kidding. We do have a follow up video coming with 18 more foods. These two just have the best scientific evidence. Celery does contain phthalides which relax arterial walls leading to lower blood pressure. We are alll about trying lifestyle modification before medication! Thanks for watching and subscribing

Ok now we’re talking Audrey!
FYI, beets are high in oxalates if you are prone to kidney stones and my understanding is that flaxseeds should be ground for better absorption.
FYI - I tried both beet juice and flaxseed, didn't do much. Most important thing is to lose weight if you are not at your optimum weight, and to exercise.
Yes those are both very important
I've tried both also. I broke out in a rash from the flaxseed also. Stopped flaxseed; rash went away. Didn't do anything for my BP. I'm not over weight and I exercise 5 days a week.
Eating flaxseed with steel cut oatmeal, apples, cinnamon, cranberry raisins , walnuts with almond milk, everyday also lowered my cholesterol .😂🎉❤
I used to the same thing about beets, taste like dirt. Growing a garden and trying them again, plain or pickled, I like them. The worst issue, the day after eating quite a bit with dinner, I freaked out after a bowel movement until I remembered what I ate for dinner the night before. Lol
I’ve been putting grounded flaxseed in my oatmeal every morning for close to a month now and I definitely have noticed a difference already. Heard it was also good for lowering cholesterol too.
It sure is P F. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I add flaxseed to cake batter,, don’t eat oatmeal wish I did I would certainly add flax. Good for you.

Love you guys. Just wondering if you could do a session on Parkinson’s. my sister has it and since that diagnosis I’ve realized what little understanding people have of this disease. Thx.
Hi Denise. We can add it to the list and work to get a neurologist to come on our show to help address this very important topic. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs Yeah, that would be great. My mom has Parkinson’s. She’s now 88.
I did the math and I'd have to buy all the beets from 3-4 grocery stores then process them to get enough of the active compounds to influence my blood pressure. Concentrated beet pills after 2 months showed no results.
Hmmm. Especially if the pills didn't work try just eating a normal amount of beets. Worst case is you get the many other benefits of the vegetable. It doesn't work for everyone

Low sodium diet with 2 tablespoons of freshly ground flaxseed daily but systolic holds at 170.
Hi Docs! Thanks for being docs. I have a question. One cup of beet juice a day = up to a 10% decrease in blood pressure. Three tablespoons of flaxseed = up to a 10% decrease of blood pressure. So…would your suggested volume of beet juice, and quantity flaxseed taken together = a 20% decrease in blood pressure?
That is possible yes

You can achieve the same effect of lower blood pressure by taking a potassium supplement like potassium bicarbonate.
It's the potassium in the flaxseed that is lowering the blood pressure.
Hi end the fed. Yes potassium helps lower your blood pressure as it is swapped out for sodium which leads to salt and water loss and subsequent lower pressure. Thanks for watching and subscribing
There’s also the DASH diet emphasizing calcium with low-fat dairy, potassium with bananas, and berries for magnesium. I used this diet to augment exercise and lowering sodium intake as a way to reduce hypertension, and it worked wonderfully. Be sure to check out the DASH diet!

Thanks for the information. It is good to know that for high blood pressure there may be options for some folks to using medication. Fo those who want to avoid meds this along with the other things you mentioned can make a difference. When I was younger for some reason I was never very concerned about the side effects of medication, however being old now, the issue of side effects are a big deal to me. Seems to be the case with a lot more issues than that.

I love beets, but have beeturia. That is, for those who don't know, the effect of drinking beet juice or eating fresh beets. Everything that comes out turns red. If this hasn't happened to you, then you don't have it. My youngest son and I are both afflicted with it. I've read in some literature that it shows up when people are anemic, and that is not the case with either one of us. That being said, I love beets. Either the juice (which does taste like dirt), or steamed beets with balsamic vinegar. Either way, it's an interesting side effect that may panic you, but it doesn't mean anything. It is totally harmless.

Found CT head negative and ECG showed T wave inversion. Dr. Says it’s my new normal and doctor says she is not worried !!
But I am 😢. Am only in my early 40s That’s how I came to this video , gonna try beet juice and flax seeds doc . Thanks . ❤
Wow that seems odd that no one is concerned about those numbers. Maybe a second opinion

Q: I’m 59. At 19, great shape. Ate right. Worked out. Slim and trim. Ran marathons. But still had High BP and lipids. At age 22, had racing heart episodes. Went to several cardiologist and finally one said my Mitral valve prolapsing. Well, issue seemed to resolve itself but throughout my life, once in blue moon get tachycardia. Now 59, getting more PVCs, Tachycardia, short breath, chest pain on exertion. Just completed Holter monitor, Nuclear stress test and echocardiogram. Seeing cardiologist next week for results. But I do have a question doctors: Can LGL Leukemia be also a cause ? I was diagnosed 5 years but tests show had it for 10yrs. There are days sometimes weeks feel good then start get episodes I described.
They are not typically related. Best of luck next week

Thanks, I just rounded up my beet root powder had some an hour ago. Just had flax seeds in my salad today. Growing beets in the garden.

Eat food that nourish me not just taste good to you
Give me beets and I’ll always beat strongly for you
Black seeds are not just a glorious colour , but on the inside you life will truly come alive.
Step away from the sugar it will make you sick
Laughter is life , kinda sweet like honey.
As for stress don’t give it your time , energy or money
Don’t buy things that you don’t really need
Live a life of gratitude , you will see what I mean
Every day when the sun come us , lift your hands and say .thank you for this brand new day.
So tell your body , you and I are one
I need you and you alone, why because you ARE my home.

I use vitamin K-2, vitamin D3, and the minerals, Potassium and Magnesium. It brought my blood pressure right down into the normal range. I take each once a day and it only took a week to work. I hope this might help someone.
