31: Fixing High Blood Pressure with Fasting / Lifestyle


Listen Later

High blood pressure is very common, affecting about half of adults in the United States. Only a small minority of people with high blood pressure have it “under control”. The typical treatment for hypertension / high blood pressure involves medications, which may work but can also have various side effects. Intermittent fasting for high blood pressure often helps, and may even cure it, for reasons I explain in the podcast. Other lifestyle improvements (including nutrition, sleep, stress management, sauna, etc) in combination with fasting give you an even better chance of fixing high blood pressure. Specifically, low-carb / keto often helps by improving insulin sensitivity. When the time comes, work with your doctor to reduce the dose of your blood pressure medication.
