Understanding and Managing Hypertension

High blood pressure, hypertension is not a disease, it's a symptom.

Ninety percent of hypertension is a known cause.

Well, today I'm gonna tell you what the cause

is.

When you start telling people that ninety percent of hypertension

is unknown, you

make the drug companies rich because you turn the person into an ATM for certain

medications. It's very profitable if you don't let people know what the

primary

cause is. Let me show you what the primary cause is.

Okay, so here we have an artery. You have a certain

layer, it's called the endothelial layer of

cells.

That cell layer has these little tiny receptors

for insulin, and insulin triggers something

that causes the artery to relax. When that

receptor becomes damaged, you get high blood pressure,

but the problem

is if you fix insulin resistance, sometimes it doesn't lower the blood

pressure. The question is, why? Because when you damage that receptor, the

receptor won't let insulin in anymore.

Now it's really hard to regulate and relax the blood vessels.

Also, insulin causes too much calcium to

go inside the cells, and this is why they use calcium channel

blockers. The cause is insulin resistance.

That's ignored because, like I said before, ninety percent of

hypertension is unknown cause. That's very interesting,

but let me just give you a little bit more data.

There is normally supposed to be a little protective shield

around that endothelium, that layer.

It's kind of like something on your frying pan that is a non-stick surface.

And when that substance becomes damaged, then we get damage

directly to cells, and then you start having a cascade of

issues where

you get, uh, holes into the area, you get inflammation,

calcium buildup, excess clotting. What's that little protective shield?

The glycocalyx, and that glycocalyx is super vulnerable to

getting damaged from too much glucose or fructose.

And it's kind of weird that a sugar actually destroys sugar,

but it does.

So when the sugar is too high or there's too much starch, you start

getting this rusting out of that layer. It's like acid rain.

It goes in there, it dissolves it very quickly,

and without it, you get a lot of

damage inside that artery, especially hypertension,

and I'm gonna talk

about that. But I first want to talk about some other

things, because insulin

resistance also creates serious deficiencies of other

nutrients, that if you don't fix those, it's gonna take a long

time to get your blood pressure lower.

So I'm gonna recommend a combination of two different things to fix your

hypertension very, very fast: going on a low-carb diet and doing

intermittent fasting, and I'm gonna also put the link down below

of how to do that

correctly. At the same time, we want to get the blood pressure down

very, very

quickly, so there's several things to add to the

low-carb diet.

Number one is vitamin D, but you must take at least

ten to twenty, sometimes thirty thousand IUs of vitamin

D-three

every single day to reestablish this.

Second thing is magnesium. Magnesium glycinate is the

one I recommend. Magnesium helps take the

calcium out of the place where it shouldn't be and

help to balance out the calcium to magnesium

ratios, because what you need to know is calcium causes contraction,

magnesium causes relaxation. Plus, magnesium is gonna help

vitamin D to work. In fact, vitamin D won't work without

magnesium, and magnesium won't work without vitamin

D.

They're both really, really important, especially with hypertension.

Plus, magnesium reduces

cortisol and adrenaline. Magnesium also has

anti-inflammatory properties, and magnesium helps reestablish

that little layer,

that protective glycocalyx. The next nutrient that is

important is potassium, and I would recommend taking a good amount

of

potassium. You can get potassium supplements in a

thousand

milligrams per serving size. But what potassium does is it directly

helps to fix that glycocalyx as well, and

potassium reduces the sodium, and potassium directly lowers blood

pressure because it helps to relax the smooth muscle.

And then the last thing you need to really get the blood pressure down is to

increase your sulfur. Sulfur is going to help reestablish this

protective sugar coating, glycocalyx.

But I wouldn't take it in a supplement. I would get it from food.

One of the best sources of sulfur is grass-fed red meat.

Eggs also are loaded with sulfur, but it's pretty wild

that some people will tell

you that, "Oh, you don't want to have eggs

or red meat for

blood pressure because it has cholesterol," and blah, blah, blah,

when in

fact the red meat and eggs will totally turn this thing

around.

So to fix insulin resistance, we want to avoid too much carbohydrate,

we want

to avoid, of course, sugar, starch, we want to avoid seed oils because

that can create inflammation. Also, make sure when you're doing

this, you do not have, like, the hidden carbohydrates.

So in other words, I would really, uh, keep a food log and monitor your

carbohydrates. You want to keep them really,

really low without cheating for a

period of time. Sometimes it takes some weeks,

and then you're gonna start to see

it come down. I would highly recommend getting a home,

uh, blood

pressure kit so you can test yourself throughout the day and monitor this.

And on a rare occasion, you'll see maybe the bottom numbers start

coming down,

but the top number might not come down.

The top number is primarily a problem with the sympathetic nervous system,

so sometimes you need to focus more on your stress by getting enough sleep,

uh, doing long walks, sometimes to take ashwagandha or maybe

even more magnesium before bed. I've just given you a

really powerful solution for hypertension. You have to try it.
