¤ >>> AND WE ARE BACK.
00:00:05.70\00:00:16.01
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HEART
PRESSURE -- EASY FOR YOU TO
00:00:16.01\00:00:21.12
SAY -- HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.
MY GUESTS ARE DR. DAVID DeROSE.
00:00:21.12\00:00:27.69
NURSE TRUDIE LI.
AND DR. GREG STEINKE.
00:00:27.69\00:00:30.83
>> GOOD JOB. >> PRAISE THE LORD.
00:00:30.83\00:00:32.63
PRAISE THE LORD, AND HOPEFULLY
YOU WERE WITH US DURING THE
00:00:32.63\00:00:35.73
FIRST HOUR, BECAUSE WE TALKED
ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS, AND WE
00:00:35.73\00:00:40.27
ENDED IT TALKING ABOUT OPTIMUM
BEVERAGES, AND HOW SOME OF THESE
00:00:40.27\00:00:44.41
THINGS THAT WE DRINK ARE
REALLY DOING DAMAGE TO OUR BODY.
00:00:44.41\00:00:48.51
AND HOW MAJOR CHANGES IN YOUR
DRINKING HABITS CAN HAVE GREAT
00:00:48.51\00:00:52.78
EFFECTS ON YOUR
BODY AND BLOOD PRESSURE.
00:00:52.78\00:00:55.72
TRUE? >> DEFINITELY.
00:00:55.72\00:00:56.62
>> YEAH. >> YOU
MENTIONED GUZZLING WATER.
00:00:56.62\00:01:02.49
JUST DRINKING ONE GLASS OF WATER
CAN INCREASE YOUR METABOLISM BY
00:01:02.49\00:01:14.00
25%. >> SO WALK ME THROUGH THAT.
00:01:14.00\00:01:15.57
>> BASICALLY YOUR BODY
IS BURNING FAT OFF FASTER.
00:01:15.57\00:01:19.34
>> UH-HUH. >> AFTER
YOU DRINK LIKE TWO CUPS
00:01:19.34\00:01:22.48
OF WATER, BASICALLY. >>
500 CC'S OF WATER, ROUGHLY
00:01:22.48\00:01:31.45
TWO CUPS. YOU ARE
BURNING MORE CALORIES,
00:01:31.45\00:01:34.86
EVEN IF YOU ARE JUST
SITTING WORKING AT YOUR DESK.
00:01:34.86\00:01:37.83
>> RIGHT. IT MAKES
PERFECT SENSE WHEN YOU
00:01:37.83\00:01:41.03
OPEN UP MORE
BLOOD PRESSURE VESSELS.
00:01:41.03\00:01:42.83
YOU HAVE MORE PIPES OPENING
UP BECAUSE THERE IS MORE FLUID
00:01:42.83\00:01:47.57
GOING THROUGH THEM.
AND THEY RAMP UP THEIR
00:01:47.57\00:01:51.27
METABOLISM BECAUSE OF
THAT. >> I DON'T WANT TO BE
00:01:51.27\00:01:58.88
INDELICATE. ONE
THING WATER DOES FOR YOU.
00:01:58.88\00:02:01.15
IT GETS YOU IN AND OUT
OF THE BATHROOM QUICKER.
00:02:01.15\00:02:03.85
[ LAUGHTER ] >> AMEN.
00:02:03.85\00:02:05.49
>> THAT'S INTERESTING YOU
MENTION THAT, BECAUSE ONE OF THE
00:02:05.49\00:02:09.39
PROBLEMS WE HAVE
IS SITTING TOO MUCH.
00:02:09.39\00:02:13.73
ESPECIALLY ON LONG TRIPS.
PEOPLE SAY I DON'T WANT TO DRINK
00:02:13.73\00:02:18.37
WATER, BECAUSE I
DON'T WANT TO STOP.
00:02:18.37\00:02:22.04
YOU NEED TO STOP
MORE. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:02:22.04\00:02:26.44
>> THE BODY IS SO -- SERIOUSLY
WONDERFULLY MADE, AND SO
00:02:26.44\00:02:34.02
INTERCONNECTED. YOU DO
ONE THING HERE, YOU THINK
00:02:34.02\00:02:35.48
YOU ARE DOING THIS, BUT
YOU ARE ALSO DOING THIS.
00:02:35.48\00:02:39.52
FOR GOOD OR TO ILL, BUT THERE
ARE THESE TIGHT CORRECTIONS THAT
00:02:39.52\00:02:45.03
NOTHING IS WASTED.
YOU ARE DRINKING WATER AND
00:02:45.03\00:02:49.00
SPEEDING UP YOUR METABOLISM.
YOU ARE HYDRATING YOUR BODY,
00:02:49.00\00:02:57.47
ELIMINATING SALT AND
RAMPING UP YOUR METABOLISM.
00:02:57.47\00:03:00.78
>> A LOT OF PATIENTS ARE ON
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINES.
00:03:00.78\00:03:10.42
AND THOSE MEDICINES
MAKE YOU LOSE WATER QUICKLY.
00:03:10.42\00:03:13.96
AND MANY PATIENTS ARE, YOU
KNOW,-TOO SLUGGISH IN THE AMOUNT
OF WATER THEY DRINK, AND THEY
00:03:13.96\00:03:23.57
GET DEHYDRATED, AND THAT CAN
BECAUSE YOU TO HAVE LOW BLOOD
00:03:23.57\00:03:27.50
PRESSURES THAT ARE POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS. >> UH-HUH.
00:03:27.50\00:03:30.81
SO DRINKING WATER HAS THIS
LAUNDRY LIST OF BENEFITS THAT
00:03:30.81\00:03:34.74
MAY GO UNNOTICED, BUT YOU ARE
DOING A LOT OF GOOD FOR YOURSELF
00:03:34.74\00:03:38.91
WHEN YOU DO SO. >> DEFINITELY.
00:03:38.91\00:03:41.08
>> LET US GO TO THE
ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM, NUTRITION.
00:03:41.08\00:03:44.65
YOU TALKED ABOUT DRINKING,
AND THE THINGS YOU DRINK.
00:03:44.65\00:03:49.52
WALK ME THROUGH NOW HOW TO EAT
RIGHT TO TRY TO MAINTAIN OPTIMUM
00:03:49.52\00:03:54.56
BLOOD PRESSURE. >> WE
BASICALLY COVERED IN THREE
00:03:54.56\00:04:01.80
SUCCINCT PRINCIPLES, THE FIRST
WOULD BE THAT WE WANT TO EAT
00:04:01.80\00:04:06.31
MORE WHOLE PLANT FOODS. WE
HAVE QUITE A GRAPH THAT SHOWS
00:04:06.31\00:04:10.18
A STUDY OF FOODS THAT
WOULD EITHER INCREASE YOUR BLOOD
00:04:10.18\00:04:14.98
PRESSURE OR
DECREASE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.
00:04:14.98\00:04:16.82
I WAS BLOWN AWAY WITH ONE OF THE
GRAPHICS THAT WENT WAY OUT OF
00:04:16.82\00:04:24.13
THIS RIGHT, THAT WOULD
INCREASE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.
00:04:24.13\00:04:27.13
AND WHAT DO YOU THINK
THAT WAS? >> FRIED FOODS?
00:04:27.13\00:04:33.40
>> FRENCH FOODS, YOU GOT
IT. SO WHOLE PLANT FOODS.
00:04:33.40\00:04:40.38
>> THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF PROPERTIES THAT WE ARE
00:04:40.38\00:04:44.08
DISCOVERING THAT ARE IN FOODS.
THESE POPULAR MEDICATIONS CALLED
00:04:44.08\00:04:52.29
ACE INHIBITORS. THOSE
ARE VERY POPULAR MEDICINES
00:04:52.29\00:04:56.93
TO LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE, AND DID
YOU KNOW THAT THOSE ARE IN FOOD?
00:04:56.93\00:05:02.63
THAT THEY ARE IN A
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FOODS.
00:05:02.63\00:05:05.93
>> IN PLANT
FOODS. >> IN PLANT FOODS.
00:05:05.93\00:05:08.80
ONLY IN PLANT FOODS. >>
GIVE ME IF YOUR MIND CAN
00:05:08.80\00:05:12.54
RECALL, THE NUMBER, THE TOP
THREE OR FOUR THINGS THAT WOULD
00:05:12.54\00:05:17.28
HELP BLOOD PRESSURE
FOOD WISE, NUTRITION WISE.
00:05:17.28\00:05:20.45
>> WE LOOK AT CONSTITUENTS.
THINGS THAT ARE RICH IN ACE
00:05:20.45\00:05:26.79
INHIBITORS.
THINGS RICH IN MAGNESIUM,
00:05:26.79\00:05:32.86
POTASSIUM, AND CALCIUM.
THE LATEST DATA ON THE BEST
00:05:32.86\00:05:37.77
SOURCE OF CALCIUM, WE
LOOK AT IT PER CALORIE.
00:05:37.77\00:05:42.80
ALL OF THE TOP 10
FOODS ARE PLANT FOODS.
00:05:42.80\00:05:47.94
THIS IS THE USDA DATABASE.
SO IF YOU WANT TO RAMP UP THE
00:05:47.94\00:05:54.72
CONSTITUENTS THAT LOWER YOUR
BLOOD PRESSURE, MAGNESIUM, THE
00:05:54.72\00:06:00.46
CALCIUM, POTASSIUM, YOU HAVE TO
DO WHAT TRUDIE SAID, EAT LOTS OF
00:06:00.46\00:06:06.09
WHOLE PLANT FOODS. WE
HAVE A GRAPH IN THERE -- I
00:06:06.09\00:06:10.77
MEAN WAS HUMBLED.
SOMEONE CAME UP TO ME, THEY SAID
00:06:10.77\00:06:15.84
DR. DeROSE, I CAME TO THAT
LECTURE OF YOURS SIX MONTHS AGO,
00:06:15.84\00:06:20.38
IT CHANGED MY WHOLE LIFE.
AND I WAS TEMPTED TO GET A
00:06:20.38\00:06:25.95
LITTLE PROUD. AND THE
LORD HELP DEFLATE THAT,
00:06:25.95\00:06:32.62
BECAUSE THAT PERSON SAID,
DR. DeROSE, IT WAS NOTHING YOU
00:06:32.62\00:06:38.03
SAID. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:06:38.03\00:06:39.16
>> I SAID WHAT WAS IT?
HE SAID IT WAS THAT GRAPH.
00:06:39.16\00:06:42.00
IT SHOWS LESS ANIMAL PRODUCTS,
LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE, LOWER
00:06:42.00\00:06:46.63
DIABETES RATES, THE LESS THE
ANIMAL PRODUCTS, THE LOWER THE
00:06:46.63\00:06:51.27
RATES SO THE VEGANS HAVE THE
LOWEST RATES -- LIKE ONE-FIFTH
00:06:51.27\00:06:56.34
THE LIKELIHOOD OF HAVING
DIABETES AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
00:06:56.34\00:07:00.52
AS THE PERSON ON THE AVERAGE
AMERICAN DIET, IF YOU ARE IN
00:07:00.52\00:07:04.89
BETWEEN, YOU ARE DOING BETTER,
BUT IF YOU WANT TO BE ON THE
00:07:04.89\00:07:09.26
BEST, HANG OUT WITH
TRUDIE AND OUR HUSBAND.
00:07:09.26\00:07:13.19
>> HUM. >> AND
WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE
00:07:13.19\00:07:16.43
PROGRESSIVE, WE'RE REALLY GOING
AFTER A -- A STRATEGY, WHERE
00:07:16.43\00:07:19.80
YOU'RE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS.
YOU'RE GOING AFTER A GOAL AND
00:07:19.80\00:07:24.64
BEING REALISTIC WITH
YOUR LIFE AND SITUATION.
00:07:24.64\00:07:27.18
>> YEAH. >> IF
SOMEONE IS REALLY SICK AND
00:07:27.18\00:07:30.48
HAS MAJOR BLOOD PRESSURE
PROBLEMS, THEY NEED TO BE MORE
00:07:30.48\00:07:34.42
DRASTIC, BUT FOR OTHERS THEY
OFTEN NEED TO TAKE IT ONE STEP
00:07:34.42\00:07:39.59
AT A TIME AND DO
WHAT THEY CAN DO.
00:07:39.59\00:07:42.39
WE TELL PEOPLE THE GOALS
THEY NEED TO AIM FOR IN TERMS OF
00:07:42.39\00:07:47.23
HELPING THEM SEE THE BIG
PICTURE, BUT THEY HAVE TO APPLY
00:07:47.23\00:07:49.86
IT TO THEIR OWN LIVES AND BRING
IT DOWN TO THE DAILY THINGS THAT
00:07:49.86\00:07:54.44
THEY ARE DOING. >> I
WANT TO FOLLOW ALONG THAT
00:07:54.44\00:07:59.17
TRAJECTORY JUST A LITTLE BIT.
BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE
00:07:59.17\00:08:02.14
GOALS THAT THEY CAN
REACH AND NOT GET DISCOURAGED.
00:08:02.14\00:08:06.15
BECAUSE IF THEY GET DISCOURAGED,
THEY ARE GOING TO QUIT.
00:08:06.15\00:08:10.42
>> I WANT TO ASK A
QUESTION WHICH MAY SOUND NOT TOO
00:08:10.42\00:08:16.26
INTELLIGENT. YOU HAVE
A PERSON THAT IS EATING
00:08:16.26\00:08:19.03
A LOT OF RED
MEAT, CHICKEN AND FISH.
00:08:19.03\00:08:22.73
IF YOU WANT TO TELL THEM CUT
THIS OUT AS YOU WORK YOUR WAY TO
00:08:22.73\00:08:29.37
OPTIMUM, WHICH WOULD YOU
HAVE THEM JETTISON FIRST?
00:08:29.37\00:08:34.88
THE RED MEAT, CHICKEN
OR FISH? OR DOES IT MATTER?
00:08:34.88\00:08:39.11
>> WELL, WE HAVE A WORKSHEET.
WE'RE HAVING PEOPLE SET THEIR
00:08:39.11\00:08:43.02
OWN GOALS. WE
SUGGEST A GOAL AT THE END OF
00:08:43.02\00:08:46.45
CHAPTER 5, AND WE SAY THIS IS
JUST AN EXAMPLE FOR SOMEONE WHO
00:08:46.45\00:08:51.33
MAY BE ON THE
AVERAGE AMERICAN DIET.
00:08:51.33\00:08:54.56
EVERY WEEK HAVE AT
LEAST THREE MEAT-FREE DAYS.
00:08:54.56\00:08:59.10
AND SOMEONE ELSE MAY SAY, NO,
IT WOULD BE A BIG DEAL JUST TO
00:08:59.10\00:09:03.34
LEAVE OFF THE RED MEAT ONE DAY.
AND TO YOUR QUESTION, THE RED
00:09:03.34\00:09:07.24
MEAT IS THE SINGLE WORST THING.
WE HAVE DATA FROM HARVARD, SAME
00:09:07.24\00:09:14.92
GRAFT, THE MORE RED MEAT,
THE SHORTER YOUR LIFE SPAN.
00:09:14.92\00:09:19.49
>> UH-HUH. >> LESS
RED MEAT, GREAT THING TO
00:09:19.49\00:09:22.59
DO TO HELP YOUR BLOOD
PRESSURE AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
00:09:22.59\00:09:25.19
>> I LIKE THE IDEA OF SELECTING
A NUMBER OF DAYS DURING THE WEEK
00:09:25.19\00:09:29.10
WHERE YOU JUST
CUT IT OUT. >> YEAH.
00:09:29.10\00:09:31.07
>> THAT SEEMS
LIKE A WORKABLE THING.
00:09:31.07\00:09:34.24
>> ANOTHER BIG PROBLEM PEOPLE
HAVE IS EATING OUT TOO MUCH.
00:09:34.24\00:09:37.31
EATING AT RESTAURANTS TOO MUCH.
TOO MUCH FAST-FOOD AND TAKING A
00:09:37.31\00:09:42.14
LOOK AT THAT, AND SAYING THOSE
RESTAURANTS ARE IN IT FOR THE
00:09:42.14\00:09:45.48
BUSINESS AND FOR THE MONEY,
AND THEY ARE TRYING TO PLEASE MY
00:09:45.48\00:09:51.85
PALLET, AND STARTING TO LOOK
AROUND AND SAYING HOW CAN I EAT
00:09:51.85\00:09:55.96
MORE AT HOME? HOW CAN
I GET THAT FIGURED OUT?
00:09:55.96\00:09:59.86
OR IF I HAVE TO EAT OUT AT
RESTAURANTS, HOW CAN I FIND
00:09:59.86\00:10:03.43
BETTER WAYS TO
GET HEALTHIER FOOD?
00:10:03.43\00:10:06.43
THAT'S A BIG DEAL. >>
AND TRUDIE YOU TALKED ABOUT
00:10:06.43\00:10:09.57
THOSE THREE
PRINCIPLES OF NUTRITION.
00:10:09.57\00:10:17.81
HE IS TALKING
ABOUT RESTAURANT FOODS.
00:10:17.81\00:10:18.85
THAT TIES IN WITH THE THIRD ONE.
>> THE THIRD PRINCIPLE IS THAT
00:10:18.85\00:10:20.45
YOU NEED TO LIMIT SODIUM.
BUT IF PRESIDENT TRUMP COULD
00:10:20.45\00:10:25.29
KNOW ABOUT THIS POINT, IT
COULD SAVE THE U.S. BUDGET 10 TO
00:10:25.29\00:10:32.46
$24 BILLION A YEAR IN HEALTHCARE
KOS IF AMERICANS WOULD EAT HALF
00:10:32.46\00:10:36.80
A TEASPOON LESS OF SODIUM.
AND AMERICANS EAT ABOUT A
00:10:36.80\00:10:45.37
TEASPOON AND A HALF NOW.
AND WE'RE ASKING THEM TO CUT IT
00:10:45.37\00:10:49.58
BY A THIRD. AND THEN
WE WOULD SEE LESS HEART
00:10:49.58\00:10:54.28
ATTACKS, FEWER STROKES.
IN THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S., WE
00:10:54.28\00:11:00.86
CALL IT THE STROKE BELT, BECAUSE
STROKES ARE A THIRD MORE COMMON
00:11:00.86\00:11:06.76
THAN THE REST OF THE NATION.
AND IF THEY COULD CUT BACK ON
00:11:06.76\00:11:09.66
THEIR SODIUM, JUST IN THAT
ONE THING, THEY WOULD SEE LESS
00:11:09.66\00:11:14.37
STROKES, LESS
SUFFERING. IT'S A BIG DEAL.
00:11:14.37\00:11:16.77
>> IT IS A BIG DEAL.
WHICH IS WORSE ON THE BODY,
00:11:16.77\00:11:20.54
SODIUM OR SUGAR?
BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH BAD
00:11:20.54\00:11:24.21
ACTORS. >> MOST
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS,
00:11:24.21\00:11:26.85
SUGAR AND SALT HIDE EACH OTHER.
SO IF SOMETHING HAS MORE SUGAR
00:11:26.85\00:11:30.45
IN IT, YOU NEED TO PUT MORE
SALT IN IT TO MAKE IT PALATABLE.
00:11:30.45\00:11:36.86
AND THE FOOD INDUSTRY
KNOWS THIS, SO THEY OFTEN TRACK
00:11:36.86\00:11:41.50
TOGETHER. >> BUT
WE'RE NOT SAYING DON'T
00:11:41.50\00:11:44.43
EAT ANY SALT. WE
KNOW -- ESPECIALLY IF YOU
00:11:44.43\00:11:46.94
HAVE HEART FAILURE, YOU MAY
NOT -- IT MAY NOT BE GOOD FOR
00:11:46.94\00:11:50.54
YOU TO CUT BACK ON YOUR SODIUM.
IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE PERSON.
00:11:50.54\00:11:55.41
MOST PEOPLE OFTEN DO, BUT THERE
ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE ESPECIALLY
00:11:55.41\00:11:58.95
SENSITIVE TO SODIUM. YOU
CAN HAVE A PERSON TRACKING
00:11:58.95\00:12:02.38
ALONG EATING A RELATIVELY NORMAL
SODIUM DIET, AND THEN THEY GO
00:12:02.38\00:12:06.89
OUT FOR THAT ONE MEAL, OR THEY
GO OVER TO A RELATIVES HOUSE FOR
00:12:06.89\00:12:12.73
THANKSGIVING AND THEY EAT THAT
BIG PACKED SODIUM MEAL, AND ALL
00:12:12.73\00:12:16.13
OF A SUDDEN FOR THE NEXT WEEK OR
TWO, THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE IS OUT
00:12:16.13\00:12:20.14
OF CONTOL. THOSE ARE
SALT-SENSITIVE PEOPLE.
00:12:20.14\00:12:22.87
THOSE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE USUALLY
PRONE TO MORE BLOOD PRESSURE
00:12:22.87\00:12:28.98
PROBLEMS. OVERWEIGHT.
00:12:28.98\00:12:31.01
THE AFRICAN AMERICAN POPULATION,
PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY
00:12:31.01\00:12:35.82
CHANGES. CERTAIN
KINDS OF CHARACTERISTICS
00:12:35.82\00:12:38.55
MAKE YOU MORE SENSITIVE
TO SALT. SOMETIMES GENETIC
00:12:38.55\00:12:42.52
CHARACTERISTICS. AND
THESE ARE IMPORTANT FEATURES
00:12:42.52\00:12:46.16
TO THINK ABOUT. >>
AND WE ADDRESS THAT IN THE
00:12:46.16\00:12:49.03
BOOK. WHO NEEDS TO BE CAREFUL.
00:12:49.03\00:12:50.47
WHO IS LIKELY TO
BENEFIT AND WHO IS NOT?
00:12:50.47\00:12:53.17
>> YEAH. YEAH.
00:12:53.17\00:12:54.77
AND AS I'M LISTENING HERE, THIS
IS A VERY COMPREHENSIVE -- THIS
00:12:54.77\00:13:00.94
COVERS JUST ABOUT EVERY QUESTION
THAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY HAVE.
00:13:00.94\00:13:04.28
THIS IS A GOOD WORK --
I WANT TO STOP RIGHT HERE.
00:13:04.28\00:13:07.18
YOU SAID YOU ARE SELF PUBLISHED.
HOW THEN CAN WE GET THIS?
00:13:07.18\00:13:11.12
>> THE SIMPLEST WAY TO
GET THE BOOK IS ON AMAZON.
00:13:11.12\00:13:17.53

VERY WELL SAID GETS
OF PICTURES AND GRAPHS.
00:14:03.00\00:14:07.54
I HATED AVOCADOS. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:14:07.54\00:14:10.08
>> BUT MY WIFE LOVED
AVOCADOS. AND I LOVED MY WIFE.
00:14:10.08\00:14:14.15
SO I -- I FORCED MYSELF TO LEARN
TO LIKE AVOCADOS, BECAUSE SHE
00:14:14.15\00:14:20.32
WOULD SNEAK THEM IN SALADS AND
SUFFICIENT, AND I WAS LIKE THERE
00:14:20.32\00:14:23.86
IS SOMETHING IN
THERE. NOW I LIKE THEM.
00:14:23.86\00:14:28.73
WE EAT THEM -- KIND OF A LOT.
I HAVE HEARD GOOD FAT, BAD FAT,
00:14:28.73\00:14:33.67
THAT KIND OF THING, BUT YOU
NEED TO BE CAREFUL EVEN WITH
00:14:33.67\00:14:39.51
AVOCADOS. >> WHEN
I LOOK AT LAB RESULTS
00:14:39.51\00:14:41.41
FOR PATIENTS, WHEN I LOOK AT
THEIR GOOD CHOLESTEROL, WHICH IS
00:14:41.41\00:14:46.72
THE HDL, AND WHEN IT IS HIGH,
I SAY YOU MUST LIKE AVOCADOS, OR
00:14:46.72\00:14:55.02
WALNUTS OR SEEDS? AND
THEY ARE LIKE HOW DO YOU
00:14:55.02\00:14:57.93
KNOW? BECAUSE IT
HELPS TO KEEP YOUR
00:14:57.93\00:15:03.47
BAD CHOLESTEROL LOW. >>
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO EAT
00:15:03.47\00:15:06.57
GOOD FATS. NOT
TOO MANY, BUT TO EAT A
00:15:06.57\00:15:10.87
PROPER AMOUNT. FAT HAS
9 CALORIES PER GRAM, SO
00:15:10.87\00:15:15.74
IT'S A POTENT CALORIC LOAD.
BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO EAT SOME
00:15:15.74\00:15:20.08
GOOD FATS. WE TALK
ABOUT OMEGA-3 IN THE
00:15:20.08\00:15:24.35
BOOK. DAVID WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?
00:15:24.35\00:15:26.19
I FORGET NOW? [ LAUGHTER ]
00:15:26.19\00:15:28.62
>> COME ON NOW. MOST
PEOPLE WHEN THEY HEAR
00:15:28.62\00:15:32.93
OMEGA-3 -- FISH OIL.
BUT FISH DO NOT MAKE OMEGA-3
00:15:32.93\00:15:40.24
FATS. THE ONLY
WAY OMEGA-3 COME IN
00:15:40.24\00:15:44.97
NATURE IS IN PLANTS.
THE BEST SOURCES IN OUR
00:15:44.97\00:15:48.28
ESTIMATION, WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THE WHOLE NUTRITIONAL PICTURE,
00:15:48.28\00:15:52.51
INCLUDING TOXIN EXPOSURE,
STAY AWAY FROM THE FISH, AND
00:15:52.51\00:15:58.15
EMPHASIZE THOSE PLANT SOURCES.
WALNUTS, CHIA SEEDS, A NUMBER OF
00:15:58.15\00:16:04.76
THINGS ON THAT LIST. >>
BEFORE WE LEAVE THIS AREA, I
00:16:04.76\00:16:08.40
NEED TO PUT IN A PLUG FOR IRMA.
SHE MAKES AN AVOCADO KEY LIME
00:16:08.40\00:16:18.04
PIE. RAW.
00:16:18.04\00:16:18.67
>> WOW. >> REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
00:16:18.67\00:16:20.94
>> HAVE HER BRING
SOME OVER. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:16:20.94\00:16:23.24
>> IT'S EXCELLENT. >>
HIS POINT ABOUT THE FISH IS
00:16:23.24\00:16:27.35
REALLY INTERESTING, BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, WE'RE FINING THAT FISH
00:16:27.35\00:16:30.12
HAVE A LOT OF TOXINS, THE -- THE
FISH BUILD UP A LOT OF TOXINS
00:16:30.12\00:16:36.46
THAT WE HAVE BEEN THROWING
IN THE OCEANS FOR A LONG TIME.
00:16:36.46\00:16:39.63
>> UH-HUH. >> AND
THIS IS WEIGHING IN ON
00:16:39.63\00:16:43.00
CONDITIONS LIKE DIABETES,
HYPERTENSION, I THINK THAT MAY
00:16:43.00\00:16:46.80
BE PART OF THE REASON WHY THAT
GRAPH THAT DAVID TALKED ABOUT
00:16:46.80\00:16:50.81
EARLIER, WHERE WE HAVE THE
NON-VEGETARIANS AND THE PARTIAL,
00:16:50.81\00:16:54.74
AND THE FISH-EATING VEGETARIANS.
YOU WOULD THINK THAT FISH SHOULD
00:16:54.74\00:16:59.88
BE A HEALTHY FOOD, BUT IT'S NOT.
AND I THINK PART OF THAT STORY
00:16:59.88\00:17:05.19
HAS TO DO WITH
MERCURY AND -- >> YEAH.
00:17:05.19\00:17:08.16
YEAH. >> WE
HAVE A SECTION IN THE
00:17:08.16\00:17:10.36
BOOK, AS YOU MIGHT
EXPECT -- [ LAUGHTER ]
00:17:10.36\00:17:13.33
>> NO, REALLY, WE TALKED ABOUT
THAT CHAPTER, AVOIDING TOXINS,
00:17:13.33\00:17:18.43
PRESSERS, WE CALL THEM, THINGS
THAT RAISE BLOOD PRESSURE.
00:17:18.43\00:17:22.67
AMERICASY, LEAD,
ARSENIC. CADMIUM.
00:17:22.67\00:17:26.31
WHERE DO YOU FIND THEM?
WHERE DO YOU AVOID THEM?
00:17:26.31\00:17:29.28
ONE OF THE THINGS TO AVOID,
POLLUTED WATER AND FISH, FISH,
00:17:29.28\00:17:34.95
FISH COMES UP AGAIN AND AGAIN.
>> I LIVE RIGHT BY THE OCEAN
00:17:34.95\00:17:39.42
RIGHT ON THE OREGON COAST, AND
AT FIRST I WAS CHECKING MERCURY
00:17:39.42\00:17:45.33
LEVELS IN MY PATIENTS FAIRLY
OFTEN, BUT I REALIZED ALL I HAD
00:17:45.33\00:17:50.73
TO DO IS ASK PATIENTS HOW
OFTEN THEY WERE EATING FISH.
00:17:50.73\00:17:54.00
AND IF THEY WERE EATING FISH
A LOT, AND I CHECKED THE MERCURY
00:17:54.00\00:17:58.67
LEVEL IT WAS
ALWAYS HIGH. >> WOW.
00:17:58.67\00:18:00.58
DOES IT MATTER, OCEAN
FISH, LAKE FISH, STREAM FISH?
00:18:00.58\00:18:05.95
DOES IT MATTER?
IT'S JUST EVERYWHERE?
00:18:05.95\00:18:09.48
>> IT'S PRETTY PERVASIVE.
I HAD A GUEST THAT LOOKED AT
00:18:09.48\00:18:13.52
THIS, AND COMPARED FISH CAUGHT
IN PRISTINE WATERS, WITH FISH
00:18:13.52\00:18:19.06
CAUGHT IN POLLUTED WATERS,
AND HE FOUND BASICALLY THE TOXIN
00:18:19.06\00:18:23.93
LEVELS IN SOME OF THOSE FISH
WERE WORSE THAN THE ONES IN THE
00:18:23.93\00:18:28.67
POLLUTED WATERS. THE
QUESTION IS HOW COULD THAT
00:18:28.67\00:18:31.41
BE? THE ANSWER
WAS, ACID RAIN, AND
00:18:31.41\00:18:34.41
THE FACT THAT FISH
DON'T STAY IN ONE SPOT.
00:18:34.41\00:18:36.75
[ LAUGHTER ] >> RIGHT.
00:18:36.75\00:18:37.81
RIGHT. BEFORE WE
LEAVE THIS -- AND WE
00:18:37.81\00:18:39.81
HAVE A NICE LITTLE
CONSTELLATION OF QUESTIONS HERE.
00:18:39.81\00:18:43.89
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
MEDICATION AND SUPPLEMENTS.
00:18:43.89\00:18:47.36
BECAUSE -- I HAD
A VERY GOOD FRIEND.
00:18:47.36\00:18:50.89
HIS MOM PASSED, AND ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT -- THAT HE SAYS THE
00:18:50.89\00:18:54.73
DOCTORS TOLD HIM IS THAT
THE YEARS OF BLOOD PRESSURE
00:18:54.73\00:18:57.87
MEDICATION REALLY RUINED HER
KIDNEYS -- OR MAYBE HER LIVER,
00:18:57.87\00:19:02.30
BUT THAT CONTRIBUTED -- SHE
PASSED FAIRLY YOUNG, 72, TO ME
00:19:02.30\00:19:07.98
IS YOUNG. THAT'S NOT THAT OLD.
00:19:07.98\00:19:09.78
>> UH-HUH. >>
BUT HE -- ONE OF THE
00:19:09.78\00:19:13.01
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WAS YEARS
OF MAYBE TAKING BLOOD PRESSURE
00:19:13.01\00:19:17.19
MEDICATION MAYBE
SINCE SHE WAS 20.
00:19:17.19\00:19:19.25
SO 50-PLUS YEARS
OF BP MEDICATION.
00:19:19.25\00:19:23.63
TALK ABOUT THAT. YOU
KNOW, YOU HAVE IT UNDER
00:19:23.63\00:19:26.06
CONTROL, BUT YOU ARE REALLY
DOING OTHER KINDS OF DAMAGE.
00:19:26.06\00:19:29.06
AND THEN I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS AND NATURAL
00:19:29.06\00:19:33.54
KINDS OF THINGS. >>
BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINES GET
00:19:33.54\00:19:40.91
YOUR BLOOD
PRESSURE DOWN BUT AT A COST.
00:19:40.91\00:19:43.14
THERE IS SIDE EFFECTS RELATED
TO DIZZINESS, AND SIDE EFFECTS
00:19:43.14\00:19:48.92
RELATED TO FEELING
FATIGUED, YOU KNOW.
00:19:48.92\00:19:50.69
YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE
MEDICINE WOULD MAKE PEOPLE FEEL
00:19:50.69\00:19:55.46
BETTER, BUT OFTENTIMES
IT MAKES PEOPLE FEEL WORSE.
00:19:55.46\00:20:00.80
>> WOW. >> PEOPLE
FEEL BETTER WITH HIGH
00:20:00.80\00:20:03.80
BLOOD PRESSURE, EVEN THOUGH
THAT IS HURTING THEIR BODY TOO.
00:20:03.80\00:20:06.70
>> UH-HUH. UH-HUH.
00:20:06.70\00:20:08.67
SO WE ADVOCATE WHENEVER POSSIBLE
TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF
00:20:08.67\00:20:12.84
MEDICATIONS USED.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO BE ON
00:20:12.84\00:20:16.78
MEDICINES, AND THERE ARE CERTAIN
PEOPLE THAT NEED REGIMENS THAT
00:20:16.78\00:20:19.85
ARE IMPORTANT, BUT WHATEVER
WE CAN DO TO GET OUR MEDICATION
00:20:19.85\00:20:23.45
NEED DOWN IN AMERICA,
WE'RE DOING A GOOD THING.
00:20:23.45\00:20:25.72
>> OKAY. >> THE
OTHER PART OF THE STORY
00:20:25.72\00:20:28.16
IS THE PEOPLE ON MEDICATIONS,
THE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT SOME 50%
00:20:28.16\00:20:32.06
OF THEM DO NOT HAVE THEIR BLOOD
PRESSURE ADEQUATELY CONTROLLED.
00:20:32.06\00:20:35.76
THEY ARE GETTING THE
WORST OF BOTH WORLDS.
00:20:35.76\00:20:38.83
THEY ARE GETTING THE
SIDE EFFECT FROM THE DRUG.
00:20:38.83\00:20:42.74
IT IS DAMAGING THE KIDNEYS,
HEART AND BRAIN, AND IT DOESN'T
00:20:42.74\00:20:48.04
TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO
FIGURE OUT THAT THAT IS NOT THE
00:20:48.04\00:20:52.41
WAY TO LIVE THE
LONGEST ON THE PLANET.
00:20:52.41\00:20:56.18
>> AND I SUSPECT AFTER A WHILE
THAT IS GOING TO CATCH UP WITH
00:20:56.18\00:20:59.69
YOU. >> YEAH.
00:20:59.69\00:21:00.36
>> IF YOU THINK IT IS UNDER
CONTROL, THERE IS NO INCENTIVE
00:21:00.36\00:21:04.26
TO CHANGE YOUR HABITS. I
CAN STILL EAT THAT PORK CHOP
00:21:04.26\00:21:08.30
OR WHATEVER IS KILLING ME,
BUT YOU STILL WANT TO DO IT.
00:21:08.30\00:21:13.87
WHAT ABOUT NATURAL MEDICATIONS?
HAWTHORN BERRY OR SOME OF THESE
00:21:13.87\00:21:23.91
OTHER THINGS THAT PEOPLE
WILL TAKE TO BRING THEIR BLOOD
00:21:23.91\00:21:27.38
PRESSURE DOWN. >>
YOU HEARD ONE OF GREG'S
00:21:27.38\00:21:35.22
FAVORITE.
TRUDIE TO YOU HAVE ONE?
00:21:35.22\00:21:38.06
>> I AM JUST
BEGUN TO USE MAGNESIUM.
00:21:38.06\00:21:41.96
AND IT IS VERY USEFUL.
THERE ARE A LOT OF HERBS OUT
00:21:41.96\00:21:50.47
THERE, BUT THEY MIGHT CARRY
LEADER THEY ARE NOT PURIFIED OR
00:21:50.47\00:21:55.18
THEY DON'T DEAL WITH THE
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, AND IT IS
00:21:55.18\00:22:05.25
SUBSTITUTING A HERB FOR A PILL.
MAGNESIUM I LIKE, BECAUSE IT
00:22:05.25\00:22:13.09
RELAXES THE BLOOD VESSELS.
SO IF WE DO ABOUT 500 MILLIGRAMS
00:22:13.09\00:22:18.90
A DAY, I HAVE SEEN GOORESULTS.
A LOT OF MY PASH  -- PATIENTS
00:22:18.90\00:22:29.81
SAY DO YOU HAVE AN
ALTERNATIVE? >> IS THAT A PILL?
00:22:29.81\00:22:34.52
>> YOU CAN DO A PILL. BUT
YOU CAN ALSO DO THE LIQUID
00:22:34.52\00:22:40.09
FORM. BUT BE
CAREFUL, BECAUSE IT CAN
00:22:40.09\00:22:42.82
BECAUSE THE RUNS. >>
IT IS A LAXATIVE TOO.
00:22:42.82\00:22:46.73
>> YEAH, MILK OF MAG
KNEE SHA, I GUESS THAT'S --
00:22:46.73\00:22:52.63
>> ONE THAT IS
POPULAR IS CO-ENZYME Q10.
00:22:52.63\00:23:04.55
IT IS A -- JUST A -- YOU
KNOW, A FACTOR IN OUR BODY.
00:23:04.55\00:23:11.02
THAT OUR BODY MAKES, BUT OFTEN
WE'RE DEFICIENT, AND IF WE GET
00:23:11.02\00:23:16.36
ENOUGH IN OUR
BODY, WE ACTUALLY -- OUR
00:23:16.36\00:23:24.40
BLOOD PRESSURE COMES DOWN.
>> IS THIS SOMETHING NATURAL YOU
00:23:24.40\00:23:30.57
CAN EAT TO GET Q-10.
>> IT IS USUALLY JUST THE
00:23:30.57\00:23:36.78
SUPPLEMENT. STATINS
WITH ALSO LOWER LEVELS
00:23:36.78\00:23:41.02
OF CO-ENZYME Q-10.
EXPERTS RECOMMEND A SUPPLIMENT
00:23:41.02\00:23:49.42
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE DRUGS.
>> AND THE AVERAGE PERSON WILL
00:23:49.42\00:23:53.33
BE ON LIKE 400 MILLIGRAMS A DAY.
MAYBE 300 MILLIGRAMS A DAY, BUT
00:23:53.33\00:23:59.67
IT'S NOT WELL ABSORBED, SO THERE
IS A VERSION THAT YOU ONLY NEED
00:23:59.67\00:24:04.97
ABOUT 100 MILLIGRAMS,
BECAUSE IT IS WELL-ABSORBED.
00:24:04.97\00:24:09.78
>> OKAY. ARE YOU
READY TO TAKE SOME
00:24:09.78\00:24:12.51
QUESTIONS? >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:24:12.51\00:24:14.12
>> LET'S GO FOR IT. >> OKAY.
00:24:14.12\00:24:16.45
LET'S SEE WHAT WE HAVE
GOT. DOES THE USE OF NATURAL
00:24:16.45\00:24:22.59
AGRICULTURE METHODS, SUCH AS
GRASS-FED OR RANGE-FREE MEATS
00:24:22.59\00:24:30.23
AFFECT THE IMPACT OF  -- ON
HEALTH ESPECIALLY WITH REGARD
00:24:30.23\00:24:40.04
TO-RED MEAT? >> THT'S A GOOD
QUESTION. EVEN IF YOU ARE USING
00:24:40.04\00:24:45.11
BETTER AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES,
ANIMAL PRODUCTS AND THE
00:24:45.11\00:24:49.22
SATURATED FAT ACTUALLY IS
PART OF WHAT IS DAMAGING OUR
00:24:49.22\00:24:53.52
METABOLISM, IT IS TRUE THAT
FREE-RANGE ANIMALS WILL HAVE
00:24:53.52\00:24:58.59
LOWER FAT CONTEXT,
WHICH IS BENEFICIAL. >> YEAH.
00:24:58.59\00:25:00.80
>> SO MAYBE A BETTER CHOICE
IS TO EAT EVEN LESS OF THAT.
00:25:00.80\00:25:07.37
MEAT PRODUCTS, FLESH FOOD, YOU
HAVE TO COOK, AND WHEN YOU DO
00:25:07.37\00:25:15.11
THAT, YOU CREATE CARCINOGENS,
AND THAT'S WHAT CAUSE CANCER FOR
00:25:15.11\00:25:21.55
COLON CANCER AND A
NUMBER OF 3 OTHER CANCERS.
00:25:21.55\00:25:24.89
SO WHETHER IT'S GRASS-FED OR
RANGE-FED MEAT, YOU STILL HAVE
00:25:24.89\00:25:32.69
TO PUT A FLAME TO IT.
>> IS IT BETTER TO EAT FIVE
00:25:32.69\00:25:37.70
SMALL MEALS A DAY, RATHER
THAN THREE SMALL MEALS A DAY.
00:25:37.70\00:25:43.71
>> OUR BOOK ADDRESSES THAT.
AND SAYS THAT THE SCIENCE IS
00:25:43.71\00:25:47.88
LEANING AGAINST T-- >>
AGAINST THE FIVE MEALS.
00:25:47.88\00:25:54.85
>> YES. INSPREAD
TWO TO THREE MEALS A
00:25:54.85\00:26:00.42
DAY. >> ALL RIGHT.
00:26:00.42\00:26:01.56
SHE IS VEGAN, 50 YEARS OF
AGE, 145 POUNDS, ASKING WHY DO I
00:26:01.56\00:26:09.40
STILL HAVE BP,
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.
00:26:09.40\00:26:13.87
>> THERE IS A NICE SECTION IN
THE BOOK, GOING THROUGH SOME OF
00:26:13.87\00:26:17.57
THE UNDERLYING ISSUES
THAT PEOPLE OFTEN HAVE.
00:26:17.57\00:26:20.28
IF YOUR MOTHER THROUGH ABOUT
28 TO 36 WEEKS GUESS RATION WENT
00:26:20.28\00:26:26.68
THROUGH A LOT OF INORDINATE
STRESS IN SOME WAY, PHYSICAL OR
00:26:26.68\00:26:33.29
EMOTIONAL STRESS, OR, YOU KNOW,
AN ILLNESS, THAT CAN MESS UP THE
00:26:33.29\00:26:36.99
DEVELOPMENT OF THE KIDNEYS
DURING THAT TIME AND -- AND
00:26:36.99\00:26:39.93
CHANGE THE NUMBER OF FILTERING
UNITS WE CALL NEPHRONS THAT ARE
00:26:39.93\00:26:47.27
DROPPED. AND IF
THERE ARE LESS OF THOSE,
00:26:47.27\00:26:50.81
WE KNOW YOU ARE MORE PRONE
TO GETTING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
00:26:50.81\00:26:54.41
EARLY IN YOUR LIFE. IF
YOU ARE A SMALL BABY, THERE
00:26:54.41\00:26:58.38
ARE OTHER FACTORS.
SO SOMETIMES IT CAN BE
00:26:58.38\00:27:03.52
FROM -- BEFORE YOU HAD ANY
INFLUENCE IN YOUR LIFE.-AND YOU
HAD NO REAL INFLUENCE TO
00:27:03.52\00:27:08.52
CHANGE THOSE THINGS FROM THE
PAST, BUT BECAUSE BLOOD PRESSURE
00:27:08.52\00:27:13.26
PROBLEMS ARE SUCH A COMPLEX
ISSUE, YOU CAN STILL DO THINGS
00:27:13.26\00:27:16.23
NOW TO HELP IT
GET BETTER. >> UH-HUH.
00:27:16.23\00:27:19.70
>> EVEN THOUGH -- MAYBE THIS
OCCURRED, YOU KNOW, UNBEKNOWNST
00:27:19.70\00:27:23.77
TO YOU. >> AND
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
00:27:23.77\00:27:26.31
NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS THAT WE
HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, SOME OF
00:27:26.31\00:27:30.81
WHICH, THAT CAN
HELP THOSE PEOPLE.
00:27:30.81\00:27:33.28
NOT EVERYONE CAN JUST WITH
LIFESTYLE HAVE NORMAL BLOOD
00:27:33.28\00:27:37.69
PRESSURE, THEY MAY
NEED TO USE OTHER PRODUCTS.
00:27:37.69\00:27:43.69
WE TALK ABOUT A NUMBER OF
THESE COMPOUNDS THAT CAN AID IN
00:27:43.69\00:27:47.40
LOWERING THE BLOOD PRESSURE.
>> BUT THE HOPE IS, THERE ARE
00:27:47.40\00:27:49.96
NATURAL THINGS YOU CAN DO, AS
OPPOSED TO GETTING ON DRUGS THE
00:27:49.96\00:27:54.14
REST OF YOUR LIFE. >> RIGHT.
00:27:54.14\00:27:56.81
WE'RE TRYING TO
HELP PEOPLE FEEL BETTER.
00:27:56.81\00:28:00.14
>> ALL RIGHT. WHAT
CAN A PERSON DO TO CORRECT
00:28:00.14\00:28:09.92
ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION.
>> THAT'S LITERALLY WHEN YOU
00:28:09.92\00:28:13.39
TAKE THE STRAIGHT POSITION, LIKE
STANDING UP, YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
00:28:13.39\00:28:17.93
DROPS. AND ONE
OF THE MORE COMMON
00:28:17.93\00:28:19.76
THINGS THAT RELATE TO THIS, IS
JUST NOT GETTING HYDRATED WELL
00:28:19.76\00:28:25.67
ENOUGH, AND OFTENTIMES THESE
PEOPLE START WITH HIGH BLOOD
00:28:25.67\00:28:29.24
PRESSURE, AND THEN SOME OF
THE MEDICATION SIDE EFFECTS
00:28:29.24\00:28:33.14
CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PROBLEM.
THE STRATEGY IS SIMILAR TO WHAT
00:28:33.14\00:28:35.48
WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT, THAT
IS DECREASE THE DEPENDANCE ON
00:28:35.48\00:28:41.32
MEDICATION, AND HELP STABILIZE
THE BLOOD PRESSURE SO YOU ARE
00:28:41.32\00:28:43.92
NOT USING MEDICATIONS THAT
SOMETIMES HAVE A MORE FORCIBLE
00:28:43.92\00:28:49.32
EFFECT. >> BUT
SOME PATIENTS HAVE
00:28:49.32\00:28:51.06
PROBLEMS WITH THAT,
BECAUSE OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS --
00:28:51.06\00:28:53.63
>> THAT'S TRUE. >> SO
DEFINITELY THEY NEED TO
00:28:53.63\00:28:56.06
WORK WITH THEIR DOCTOR TO --
TO FIGURE THAT OUT, BECAUSE IT'S
00:28:56.06\00:29:00.57
NOT ALWAYS THAT
SIMPLE. HOPEFULLY IT IS.
00:29:00.57\00:29:03.81
HOPEFULLY IT IS JUST REDUCING
MEDICATION, AND IT GETS BETTER,
00:29:03.81\00:29:07.24
AND OFTEN IT WILL. >>
WHAT DOES THE THIRD NUMBER
00:29:07.24\00:29:12.05
MEAN ON THE
BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR?
00:29:12.05\00:29:14.02
>> IT'S PROBABLY THE
PULSE, THE HEART RATE.
00:29:14.02\00:29:17.02
>> UH-HUH. OKAY.
00:29:17.02\00:29:19.15
ALL RIGHTY. IF YOU
ARE ON MEDS FOR IRREGULAR
00:29:19.15\00:29:24.26
HEARTBEAT, CAN YOU
WORK WITH THIS PROGRAM?
00:29:24.26\00:29:27.86
>> I CAN ANSWER THAT.
SO I'M ASSUMING THAT THE
00:29:27.86\00:29:37.47
IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT
IS ATRIAL FIBULATION.
00:29:37.47\00:29:43.18
OFTEN DOCTORS WILL PUT YOU ON
A BLOOD THINNER, BUT IT DEPENDS.
00:29:43.18\00:29:48.72
AND OFTEN THEY WILL PUT YOU ON
A MEDICINE THAT SLOWS THE HEART
00:29:48.72\00:29:53.12
RATE. IF YOU HAVE
A TENDENCY TO HAVE A
00:29:53.12\00:29:56.69
FAST HEART RATE, AD YOU SLOW
THE HEART RATE, AND IT SLOWS THE
00:29:56.69\00:30:02.00
BLOOD PRESSURE PROBLEMS AS WELL.
THERE ARE PATIENTS WHO HAVE
00:30:02.00\00:30:06.23
ATRIAL FIBULATION WHO DON'T NEED
THE HEART-RATE SLOWING MEDICINE.
00:30:06.23\00:30:11.44
IT IS SLOW BY ITSELF.
FOR SOME PATIENTS AS SOON AS
00:30:11.44\00:30:16.61
THEY START WEANING THE MEDICINE,
THEIR HEART RATE STARTS TO
00:30:16.61\00:30:22.18
RAISE. FOR A LOT
OF PATIENTS GETTING
00:30:22.18\00:30:24.39
OFF OF THE BLOOD THINNER IS
DIFFICULT TO DO, BECAUSE OF THE
00:30:24.39\00:30:29.12
RISK OF STROKE.
ESPECIALLY AS A LADY, AS YOU GET
00:30:29.12\00:30:32.33
INTO YOUR OLDER YEARS, ANY LADY
OVER 65 OFTEN IS OFFERED SOME
00:30:32.33\00:30:38.27
BLOOD-THINNING MEDICINE, BECAUSE
THE RISK OF STROKE STARTS TO GO
00:30:38.27\00:30:43.47
TOO HIGH, BECAUSE THE HEART IS
SHAKING LIKE THIS, AND THE BLOOD
00:30:43.47\00:30:47.64
CLOT BEGINNING TO FORM INSIDE
THAT CHAMBER, AND IF THAT BLOOD
00:30:47.64\00:30:52.61
CLOT IS SITTING THERE, IT
CAN SHOOT OFF INTO THE BRAIN OR
00:30:52.61\00:30:56.08
OTHER PARTS OF
THE BODY ANY TIME.
00:30:56.08\00:30:58.22
IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.
>> AND THE ANSWER TO THE
00:30:58.22\00:31:01.92
QUESTION, AND OF COURSE GREG IS
ADDRESSING IT VERY PRECISELY, IS
00:31:01.92\00:31:07.00
THESE DRUGS HAVE WHAT WE CALL
A NARROW THERAPEUTIC RANGE, AND
00:31:07.00\00:31:12.10
THAT MEANS YOU START ADDING
SUPPLEMENTS OR CHANGING YOUR
00:31:12.10\00:31:17.41
DIET, THAT CAN ACTUALLY EFFECT
THE BLOOD-THINNING PROPERTIES.
00:31:17.41\00:31:22.71
SO DEFINITELY A REASON TO WORK
WITH A PHYSICIAN, BUT NO REASON
00:31:22.71\00:31:27.08
NOT TO DO MANY OF THE THINGS
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT
00:31:27.08\00:31:30.42
THE KEY POINT, IS
WORK WITH YOUR PROVIDER.
00:31:30.42\00:31:33.59
I WILL TELL YOU
PERSONALLY -- I'M GLAD THAT MORE
00:31:33.59\00:31:36.89
PHYSICIANS ARE SEEING THIS, BUT
IN THE OLD DAYS, PEOPLE USED TO
00:31:36.89\00:31:40.16
BE PUT IN THE
HOSPITAL FOR THESE CONDITIONS.
00:31:40.16\00:31:42.86
THEY WOULD PUT B PUT ON A BLOOD
THINNER, AND THEY WERE TOLD, NOW
00:31:42.86\00:31:48.07
JUST EAT LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN
GETTING IN THE HOSPITAL, THIS
00:31:48.07\00:31:51.84
LOUSY DIET WITH NO GREEN
STUFF. AND DON'T EAT ANY GREEN
00:31:51.84\00:31:56.31
VEGETABLES. THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.
00:31:56.31\00:31:58.58
WHAT THINKING PROFESSIONALS
TODAY SAY, IF YOU WANT TO EAT
00:31:58.58\00:32:03.85
MORE GREEN STUFF, THAT'S FINE,
BUT EAT IT CONSISTENTLY SO WE
00:32:03.85\00:32:08.59
CAN ADJUST YOUR BLOOD
THINNER TO THE RIGHT AMOUNT.
00:32:08.59\00:32:12.09
>> SO THE GREEN STUFF
IS THINNING YOUR BLOOD?
00:32:12.09\00:32:14.36
>> IT DOES. IT
GIVES YOU MORE VITAMIN K.
00:32:14.36\00:32:23.24
>> IN THIS STUDY, PEOPLE
WILL SOMETIMES -- THEY HAVE DONE
00:32:23.24\00:32:27.41
STUDIES SHOWING THAT IF A PERSON
TAKES A VITAMIN K SUPPLEMENT
00:32:27.41\00:32:35.42
THAT CAN HELP THE LEVELS
OF THEIR BLOOD THINNING TO
00:32:35.42\00:32:40.02
NORMALIZE A LOT. BUT
WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT
00:32:40.02\00:32:42.66
PEOPLE TO AVOID KALE
AT ALL COSTS, ET CETERA.
00:32:42.66\00:32:50.00
BUT KALE HAS SUCH HIGH LEVELS OF
VITAMIN K IN IT, THAT THEY HAVE
00:32:50.00\00:32:57.87
TO EAT IT CONSISTENTLY.
>> WHAT ABOUT FLAXSEED?
00:32:57.87\00:33:01.68
>> THAT ALSO HELP 
LOWER YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.
00:33:01.68\00:33:07.28
>> YEAH. >> IF THEY
DON'T HAVE FULL BLOWN
00:33:07.28\00:33:11.75
AT IT REAL FIBULATION, THE
MAGNESIUM HAS STABLING FACTORS
00:33:11.75\00:33:20.83
AS WELL. >> HOW MUCH MAGNESIUM?
00:33:20.83\00:33:27.77
>> ABOUT 500 A DAY. >>
AND IF PEOPLE HAVE KIDNEY
00:33:27.77\00:33:35.44
DISEASE WE DON'T RECOMMEND
TAKING MASS -- MAGNESIUM.
00:33:35.44\00:33:46.89
>> AND PART OF THE PROBLEM
IS THAT WE ARE DEFICIENT IN
00:33:46.89\00:33:52.56
MAGNESIUM BECAUSE WE
DON'T EAT ENOUGH IN OUR FOOD.
00:33:52.56\00:33:55.20
WE DON'T EAT ENOUGH OF
THOSE POWERFUL PLANT FOODS.
00:33:55.20\00:33:59.43
IT'S IN THE PLANT FOODS.
SO IF WE EAT A WIDE VARIETY OF
00:33:59.43\00:34:06.54
PLANT FOODS, THE GREENS,
THE LEAFY VEGETABLES, THE BEANS,
00:34:06.54\00:34:14.18
THEN OUR BLOOD
PRESSURE WILL IMPROVE.
00:34:14.18\00:34:16.52
>> AND THOSE COMMONLY PRESCRIBED
BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATIONS, THEY
00:34:16.52\00:34:24.23
ARE DIURETICS. THEY
SAY I'M JUST ON DIVAN.
00:34:24.23\00:34:37.21
THE INTERESTING THING IS, THERE
IS ALSO A DIURETIC ADDED TO THE
00:34:37.21\00:34:41.21
DRUG, AND EVERYONE
KNOWS -- WELL, MANY PATIENTS
00:34:41.21\00:34:45.18
KNOW THAT LOWERS THEIR
POTASSIUM AND MAGNESIUM.
00:34:45.18\00:34:50.15
SO WE'RE TAKING DRUGS THAT MAKE
YOU LOWER YOUR MAGNESIUM AND
00:34:50.15\00:35:00.96
THAT HELPS TO LOWER
YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.
00:35:00.96\00:35:03.83
>> IF YOU ARE A DIABETIC,
YOU ARE ON A DIURETIC, YOU ARE
00:35:03.83\00:35:13.38
ALMOST CERTAINLY
MAGNESIUM DEFICIENT.
00:35:13.38\00:35:16.81
>> SO IF YOU ARE ON THAT FOR
YEARS AND YEARS, YOU ARE DOING
00:35:16.81\00:35:22.28
MAJOR DAMAGE -- >> AND
IT'S GOOD INTENTIONS, AND
00:35:22.28\00:35:25.95
THE MEDICINES HAVE GOOD INTE
00:35:25.95\00:35:32.56
INTE INTENTIONS.
00:35:32.56\00:35:33.73
BUT WHATEVER THEY CAN
DO TO LESSEN THE APPLES.
00:35:33.73\00:35:37.57
IF YOU CAN JUST EVEN TURN
DOWN THE DOSE OF THE MEDICINE.
00:35:37.57\00:35:41.27
THE GOOD EFFECTS ARE HOPEFULLY
GOING TO HAPPEN SOME, AND THEN
00:35:41.27\00:35:44.97
THE BAD EFFECTS WILL BE MUCH
LESS LIKELY -- AND YOU WILL BE
00:35:44.97\00:35:50.05
MUCH LESS LIKELY TO
LOSE MAGNESIUM, ET CETERA.
00:35:50.05\00:35:54.32
>> THERE SEEMS TO BE A
WIDE VARIETY OF BLOOD PRESSURE
00:35:54.32\00:36:04.16
MEDICINES. >> HUGE.
00:36:04.16\00:36:05.13
>> IN THE BOOK WE HAVE A
GRAPHIC, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
00:36:05.13\00:36:08.03
THE ISSUE OF SIDE EFFECTS,
THE WORST-TOLERATED MEDICATIONS,
00:36:08.03\00:36:15.24
ONLY ABOUT ONE IN FOUR PEOPLE
WILL STICK WITH THAT BLOOD
00:36:15.24\00:36:22.48
PRESSURE
MEDICATION FOR ABOUT A YEAR.
00:36:22.48\00:36:29.22
MOST PEOPLE GO BACK TO THEIR
DOCTOR AND SAY, I CAN'T TAKE
00:36:29.22\00:36:34.86
THIS BECAUSE OF
THE SIDE EFFECTS.
00:36:34.86\00:36:37.19
SEXUAL FUNCTION, ENERGY
LEVEL, EXERCISE CAPACITY.
00:36:37.19\00:36:41.83
THEY CAN CAUSE A
COUGH. CHRONIC COUGH.
00:36:41.83\00:36:43.87
THAT'S ONE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS
OF A COMMON CLASS OF DRUGS.
00:36:43.87\00:36:48.17
SO, YEAH, THERE'S ALL OF
THESE PROBLEMS -- BUT WE'RE NOT
00:36:48.17\00:36:51.27
SAYING -- AS I THINK MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE REALLY MADE A
00:36:51.27\00:36:55.98
GOOD POINT OF DON'T JUST WATCH
THIS SHOW AND THROW OUT YOUR
00:36:55.98\00:37:00.42
MEDICINE.
THAT'S NOT THE MESSAGE.
00:37:00.42\00:37:01.85
WORK WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN,
BECAUSE YOU CAN GET INTO
SERIOUS-DANGER ABRUPTLY STOPPING
00:37:01.85\00:37:09.79
MEDICATIONS. >>
AND HOW MANY PEOPLE
00:37:09.79\00:37:11.63
HAVE -- HAVE THIS ISSUE IN
ONE IN THREE AMERICANS HAVE THIS
00:37:11.63\00:37:15.33
PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. >> YEAH.
00:37:15.33\00:37:16.90
>> AND ONCE YOU HIT 55 YEARS
OF AGE, YOU HAVE A 90% CHANCE BY
00:37:16.90\00:37:21.70
THE TIME YOU ARE 80, 85
YEARS OF AGE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE.
00:37:21.70\00:37:26.54
>> ONE IN THREE.
>> THAT'S STAGGERING.
00:37:26.54\00:37:29.54
>> IT IS. >> AND WE TREAT IT SO
00:37:29.54\00:37:37.05
NONCHALANTLY. >> WHEN
CAN YOU TAKE YOUR MEDS
00:37:37.05\00:37:39.82
FOR -- WHEN CAN YOU
TAKE MEDS FOR BLOOD PRESSURE?
00:37:39.82\00:37:44.46
HERS IS 135/85, SOMETIMES
140/90, AND HER DOCTOR PUT HER
00:37:44.46\00:37:52.33
ON MEDICATION. SHE
IS WONDERING AM I BEING
00:37:52.33\00:37:57.04
OVERMEDICATED? >>
NONE OF US WANT TO SIT IN
00:37:57.04\00:37:58.54
JUDGMENT OF HER PEERS.
BUT HERE IS SOMETHING WE DO
00:37:58.54\00:38:02.28
KNOW. WE TALK
ABOUT IT IN THE BOOK.
00:38:02.28\00:38:05.28
WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE DOCTOR'S
OFFICE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE IS
00:38:05.28\00:38:09.52
TYPICALLY MUCH HIGHER
THAN IT IS NORMALLY RUNNING.
00:38:09.52\00:38:12.35
>> YEAH, IT'S
CALLED WHITE COAT SYNDROME.
00:38:12.35\00:38:16.83
HAVE YOU HEARD
ABOUT THIS? [ LAUGHTER ]
00:38:16.83\00:38:19.59
>> THE DOCTOR'S WHITE COAT.
AND WE KNOW THAT BLOOD PRESSURE
00:38:19.59\00:38:26.80
LEVELS GO UP.
PATIENTS ARE LAYING IN BED,
00:38:26.80\00:38:29.44
WAITING FOR A DOCTOR TO COME,
AND WHEN THE DOCTOR WALKS IN THE
00:38:29.44\00:38:34.38
ROOM, GUESS HOW HIGH
THE BLOOD PRESSURE GOES UP?
00:38:34.38\00:38:36.95
ON AVERAGE 15
POINTS. MAYBE 20 POINTS.
00:38:36.95\00:38:40.75
THE BLOOD PRESSURE GOES UP.
SO WE KNOW THE DOCTOR HAS AN
00:38:40.75\00:38:44.12
EFFECT ON OUR STRESS LEVELS.
WE MAY NOT EVEN FEEL IT, BUT IT
00:38:44.12\00:38:49.06
HAPPENS. SO THE
BEST THING TO DO IS TO
00:38:49.06\00:38:50.86
CHECK IT AT HOME.
WRITE DOWN THE VALUES.
00:38:50.86\00:38:53.09
IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH
LIFESTYLE CHANGES, WE RECOMMEND
00:38:53.09\00:38:57.83
THREE TIMES A DAY, WRITE DOWN
YOUR VALUES, AND THEN TRACK IT
00:38:57.83\00:39:05.47
AT HOME. AND YOU
WILL HAVE A MUCH MORE
00:39:05.47\00:39:09.74
ACCURATE READING, COMPARED TO
WHEN YOU GO INTO THESE DOCTOR'S
00:39:09.74\00:39:15.35
-pOFFICE. >> TRUDIE, WHAT WOULD
YOU DO IF THE PATIENT'S 150/100
00:39:15.35\00:39:22.82
IN THE OFFICE, AND THEY BRING
A LOG IN. ARE YOU GOING TO PUT
00:39:22.82\00:39:32.17
THEM ON MEDICINE IN THEY
ARE 130/80. ARE YOU GOING TO PUT
00:39:32.17\00:39:40.04
THEM ON MEDICATION? >>
NO, I WILL GO OVER LIFESTYLE
00:39:40.04\00:39:43.11
ISSUES. AND IF WE CAN WORK WITH
00:39:43.11\00:39:45.95
LIFESTYLE CHANGE,
FINING WHAT IS THE CAUSE?
00:39:45.95\00:39:52.59
>> AND I THINK MOST DOCTORS TOO,
THEY ARE REASONABLE PEOPLE, AND
00:39:52.59\00:39:56.06
IF YOU BRING IN THAT LOG --
BUT IT'S HARD WHEN YOU ARE A
00:39:56.06\00:40:00.60
PHYSICIAN WHEN YOU SEE THOSE
HIGH NUMBERS IN THE OFFICE, SOME
00:40:00.60\00:40:03.87
PEOPLE ARE OVERMEDICATED, BUT
IN ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL, WITHOUT
00:40:03.87\00:40:09.00
HAVING ALL OF THE DATA, WE
DON'T WANT TO SAY YAY OR NAY.
00:40:09.00\00:40:14.51
>> AND THIS WHITE COAT
PHENOMENON, THOSE FOLKS HAVE
00:40:14.51\00:40:19.35
MORE RISK. YOU MAY
NOT HAVE FULL BLOWN
00:40:19.35\00:40:22.25
HYPERTENSION YET, BUT WE KNOW
YOU DO HAVE MORE RISK, AND IT
00:40:22.25\00:40:25.92
DOES NEED TO BE
LOOKED AT SERIOUSLY.
00:40:25.92\00:40:29.09
>> ROSS HAS A QUESTION. CAN
AN 80-YEAR-OLD HAVE THE SAME
00:40:29.09\00:40:34.03
BLOOD PRESSURE AS A 30-YEAR-OLD?
>> I -- I THINK ABSOLUTELY YOU
00:40:34.03\00:40:40.07
CAN. YOU KNOW,
OBVIOUSLY, THE WEAR
00:40:40.07\00:40:42.27
AND TEAR ON THE BODY, MAKES
IT MORE DIFFICULT, BUT YOU CAN.
00:40:42.27\00:40:47.81
YOU CAN REVERSE THINGS.
YOU CAN REVERSE THAT HARDENING
00:40:47.81\00:40:51.65
OF THE ARTERY PROCESS
THAT BEGINS TO OCCUR .
00:40:51.65\00:40:57.15
WE KNOW THIS HAPPENS.
I HAVE SEEN KIDNEY DAMAGE
00:40:57.15\00:41:02.59
REVERSED OCCASIONALLY.
BUT IF YOU HAVE GONE TO A
00:41:02.59\00:41:07.73
IRREVERSIBLE STATE, WHERE
YOU HAVE TOO MUCH DAMAGE TO YOUR
00:41:07.73\00:41:11.13
KIDNEY OR HAVE SIGNIFICANT
HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES THAT
00:41:11.13\00:41:14.27
IS NOT BACKING OFF WITH
LIFESTYLE CHANGE, THEN THERE IS
00:41:14.27\00:41:19.21
A CHANCE YOUR BLOOD
PRESSURE IS GOING TO BE HIGHER.
00:41:19.21\00:41:21.54
BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.
YOU NEED TO TEST THE LIFESTYLE
00:41:21.54\00:41:26.11
CHANGES AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT
YOU HAVE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO
00:41:26.11\00:41:30.65
SEE IF YOU CAN GET IT
BETTER WITHOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
00:41:30.65\00:41:38.63
MEDICINES. >>
THE TIGHTER THE BLOOD
00:41:38.63\00:41:41.56
VESSELS, THE HARDER
YOUR HEART HAS TO WORK.
00:41:41.56\00:41:45.13
BUT LIKE GREG SAID, YOU CAN
OFTEN REVERSE THAT, AND SOME OF
00:41:45.13\00:41:48.80
THE THINGS THAT TRUDIE --
YOU KNOW, YOU WERE POINTING OUT
00:41:48.80\00:41:52.27
EARLIER WITH THE MAGNESIUM,
ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WORKS IS
00:41:52.27\00:41:57.75
THROUGH BLOOD
VESSEL EFFECTS. >> UH-HUH.
00:41:57.75\00:42:02.02
AND I BELIEVE THE BIBLE SAID
THAT MOSES, WHEN HE PASSED AWAY
00:42:02.02\00:42:06.99
HE HAD CLEAR EYES. >>
AND HE WAS 120, RIGHT?
00:42:06.99\00:42:13.66
>> YEAH. YEAH.
00:42:13.66\00:42:15.43
PRETTY GOOD. IS IT
HEALTHY TO TAKE A BABY
00:42:15.43\00:42:20.70
ASPIRIN DAILY IF
STROKE RUNS IN YOUR FAMILY?
00:42:20.70\00:42:23.64
AND WE TOUCHED ON THIS BEFORE,
BUT MAYBE WE'LL HIT IT AGAIN.
00:42:23.64\00:42:27.81
WHAT ABOUT IBUPROFEN. >>
YEAH, THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT
00:42:27.81\00:42:32.15
THINGS. THERE ARE
CERTAIN GUIDELINES ON
00:42:32.15\00:42:34.08
THE USE OF ASPIRIN. AND
FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON THERE
00:42:34.08\00:42:38.09
DOES SEEM TO BE
BENEFITS IN CERTAIN SETTINGS.
00:42:38.09\00:42:44.29
SO IF A DOCTOR HAS PRESCRIBED
A BABY MEDICINE, I WOULDN'T JUST
00:42:44.29\00:42:50.77
STOP THAT. BUT WHEN
IT COMES TO IBUPROFEN
00:42:50.77\00:42:59.44
THAT IS TYPICALLY
PRESCRIBED FOR PAIN.
00:42:59.44\00:43:01.88
>> I HAVE BEEN GETTING
GOOD FEEDBACK ABOUT TUMERIC, 500
00:43:01.88\00:43:12.85
MILLIGRAMS, THREE
TIMES ADAY, HELPS.
00:43:12.85\00:43:14.62
>> AND IT LOWERS BLOOD
PRESSURE RATHER THAN RAISING IT.
00:43:14.62\00:43:18.26
>> TUMERIC IS A LITTLE HARD TO
ABSORB, SO MAYBE TAKE IT WITH A
00:43:18.26\00:43:24.93
LITTLE BIT OF FOOD
HEALTHY FAT WITH A MEAL.
00:43:24.93\00:43:27.07
>> AVOCADO. >> AVOCADO.
00:43:27.07\00:43:30.64
>> AVOCADO
CHEESECAKE. >> THERE YOU GO.
00:43:30.64\00:43:33.81
>> DORIS WANTS TO
KNOW, I HAVE LABI --
00:43:33.81\00:43:39.58
>> IT FLUCTUATES. >> AH.
00:43:39.58\00:43:44.25
WITH HYPOTENSION/HYPERTENSION
AND IT GOES VERY LOW DURING THE
00:43:44.25\00:43:48.82
DAY AND VERY HIGH AT NIGHT.
HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS WITH HIGH
00:43:48.82\00:43:57.23
LAB -- WITH HYPER AND
HYPO? >> YEAH, THAT'S DIFFICULT,
00:43:57.23\00:44:01.77
THERE'S A NUMBER
OF CAUSES OF THAT.
00:44:01.77\00:44:04.11
SOMETIMES IT'S
RELATED TO YOUR FOOD IN TAKE.
00:44:04.11\00:44:07.78
SOMETIMES WHEN PEPLE EAT
A MEAL, THEY SOMETIMES GET A
00:44:07.78\00:44:11.38
PROBLEM WITH THAT. IT
JUST DEPENDS ON THE DETAILS.
00:44:11.38\00:44:17.25
WE DON'T WANT IT GOING TOO
HIGH OR TOO LOW, AND IT CAN BE
00:44:17.25\00:44:22.46
DIFFICULT. BUT THE
DETAILS ARE REALLY WHERE
00:44:22.46\00:44:24.66
THE RUBBER MEETS
THE ROAD ON THAT ONE.
00:44:24.66\00:44:28.53
>> YEAH, MOST PEOPLE WITH
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE HAVE PRIMARY
00:44:28.53\00:44:35.00
HYPERTENSION. IT'S
THERE WITH NO OTHER DISEASE
00:44:35.00\00:44:39.11
STATE. BUT THERE
RER CAUSES WE SPEAK
00:44:39.11\00:44:40.24
ABOUT IN THE BOOK OF -- WE CALL
SECONDARY HYPERTENSION, SOME CAN
00:44:40.24\00:44:45.45
CAUSE THAT. ONE OF
THE CLASSIC ONES IS A
00:44:45.45\00:44:48.65
TUMOR WHERE YOU ACTUALLY
ARE PRODUCING THESE BLOOD
00:44:48.65\00:44:54.06
PRESSURE-RAISING HORMONES, AND
THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS
00:44:54.06\00:44:57.86
TO BE CHECKED. IF YOU
HAVE PROFOUND SWINGS IN
00:44:57.86\00:45:02.83
BLOOD PRESSURE. >> AND
SOME MEDICATIONS ACTUALLY
00:45:02.83\00:45:06.00
CAUSE REBOUND HYPERTENSION,
MEANING THAT AS THE MEDICINE IS
00:45:06.00\00:45:09.27
WEARING OFF, YOU ACTUALLY GO
FROM A LOW BLOOD PRESSURE STATE
00:45:09.27\00:45:15.31
TO A HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE STATE,
SO SOME PEOPLE JUST PROCESS THE
00:45:15.31\00:45:21.02
MEDICINE THEY TAKE QUICKLY.
THE MEDICINE WEARS OFF MORE
00:45:21.02\00:45:25.95
QUICKLY THAN YOU EXPECT, AND
THEN THE BLOOD PRESSURE GOES WAY
00:45:25.95\00:45:28.92
UP. SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE
00:45:28.92\00:45:33.03
DETAILS. >> AND THE
STRATEGY ON THAT ONE,
00:45:33.03\00:45:36.33
YOU MAY NEED TO TAKE
HALF OF THE DRUG TWICE A DAY.
00:45:36.33\00:45:39.37
>> SYLVIA -- WE TALKED
ABOUT THIS BEFORE, BUT MAYBE SHE
00:45:39.37\00:45:43.61
DIDN'T HEAR. WHAT
ARE THE NUMBERS THAT ARE
00:45:43.61\00:45:47.31
CONSIDERED HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?
>> ANYTHING ABOUT 140 TO 150 ON
00:45:47.31\00:45:51.05
THE UPPER NUMBER, AND THEN
OVER 90 ON THE BOTTOM NUMBER.
00:45:51.05\00:45:55.32
>> AND IN THE ELDERLY NOW,
WELL -- 60 YEARS OLD IS THAT
00:45:55.32\00:46:02.42
ELDERLY? >> DEFINITELY NOT.
00:46:02.42\00:46:04.86
[ LAUGHTER ] >> IF
YOU ARE 60 OR OLDER, THE
00:46:04.86\00:46:08.16
NEW RECOMMENDATIONS ARE IF YOU
DON'T HAVE KIDNEY OR DIABETES,
00:46:08.16\00:46:13.47
IT'S OKAY TO ALLOW THE BLOOD
PRESSURE TO GO UP TO 150/90 IN
00:46:13.47\00:46:18.84
THAT SETTING IN TERMS
OF MEDICATION LORDING.
00:46:18.84\00:46:22.48
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
MEDICATION LOWERING.
00:46:22.48\00:46:25.21
WE ALWAYS WANT THE BLOOD
PRESSURE TO BE 110/70, THAT
00:46:25.21\00:46:34.39
WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO USE
00:46:34.39\00:46:37.26
MEDICATION TO PUSH IT
THAT LOW. IT CAN HURT THE EYES.
00:46:37.26\00:46:42.86
IT CAN WRECK YOUR EYES IF YOU
PUSH YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE TOO LOW
00:46:42.86\00:46:48.37
WITH BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE.
SO YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.
00:46:48.37\00:46:51.24
YOU WANT TO LOWER YOUR
BLOOD PRESSURE OUT OF THE MOST
00:46:51.24\00:46:54.68
DANGEROUS RANGE WITH BLOOD
PRESSURE MEDICINES IF THAT IS
00:46:54.68\00:46:58.41
NEEDED. AGAIN,
PREFERABLY WE WANT TO GO
00:46:58.41\00:47:01.22
THE NATURAL ROUTE, WHICH IS THE
-SAFEST. >> AND YOU CAN WRECK
00:47:01.22\00:47:10.39
YOUR EYES IF YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
IS TOO HIGH FOR TOO LONG.
00:47:10.39\00:47:12.69
>> OH, FOR SURE. >>
ONE OF THE INTERESTING
00:47:12.69\00:47:16.93
STUDIES WAS WHAT WE SAW
WITH SUNSHINE AND BLOOD PRESSURE
00:47:16.93\00:47:21.10
LOWERING. DOES
SUNSHINE RAISE YOUR BLOOD
00:47:21.10\00:47:22.40
PRESSURE OR LORD
IT? WHAT DO YOU THINK?
00:47:22.40\00:47:25.14
IT ACTUALLY LOWERS
YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.
00:47:25.14\00:47:28.81
AND FOR A LONG TIME WE THOUGHT
IT WAS RELATED TO THE VITAMIN D.
00:47:28.81\00:47:34.92
AND WE THINK THERE
MAY BE SOME EFFECTS THERE.
00:47:34.92\00:47:37.25
BUT A LOT OF STUDIES ARE NOT
SHOWING THAT THOSE EFFECTS ARE
00:47:37.25\00:47:41.59
VERY -- VERY MUCH. BUT
WE KNOW THAT SUNSHINE LOWERS
00:47:41.59\00:47:45.03
BLOOD PRESSURE, AND WE THINK
THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON IN
00:47:45.03\00:47:47.76
THE SKIN THAT IS PUTTING A
CHEMICAL INTO THE BLOOD PRESSURE
00:47:47.76\00:47:52.57
STREAM THAT IS DILATING THE
ARTERIES AND MAKING THE BLOOD
00:47:52.57\00:47:56.64
PRESSURE GO DOWN. >>
WE'RE DOWN TO THE LAST HALF
00:47:56.64\00:47:59.47
OF THE LAST HALF OF THE
LAST HALF OF THE PROGRAM.
00:47:59.47\00:48:03.81
SO I'M GOING TO ASK FOR
THE READER'S DIGEST VERSION.
00:48:03.81\00:48:07.45
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF WEIGHT
LOSS AND BLOOD PRESSURE IF YOU
00:48:07.45\00:48:11.55
HAVE ONE OF THE
ADRENAL GLANDS REMOVED.
00:48:11.55\00:48:19.59
>> YOU WILL DO JUST
FINE WITH ONE ADRENAL GLAND.
00:48:19.59\00:48:24.63
>> MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS HIGHER
AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE THAN WHEN
00:48:24.63\00:48:28.34
I TAKE IT AT HOME.
WE TOUCHED ON THIS.
00:48:28.34\00:48:30.51
ALSO WHEN IT IS THE BEST
TIME TO TAKE MY BLOOD PRESSURE?
00:48:30.51\00:48:36.58
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO
TAKE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE?
00:48:36.58\00:48:40.98
>> WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE
IT THREE TIMES OF THE DAY, AT
00:48:40.98\00:48:45.99
DIFFERENT TIMES A DAY. BUT
YOU SHOULD BE SITTING DOWN,
00:48:45.99\00:48:50.36
QUIET, CALM FOR ABOUT FIVE
MINUTES, JUST TALKING, NOT JUST
00:48:50.36\00:48:55.03
FINISHED PLAYING BASKETBALL.
>> IT'S A TOTAL CUMULATIVE
00:48:55.03\00:49:00.24
EFFECT OF HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE. IT'S THE TOTAL EFFECT.
00:49:00.24\00:49:02.87
SO YOU WANT TO CHECK IT
THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO SEE WHAT
00:49:02.87\00:49:06.37
IS GOING ON. >> IS
TAKE GARLIC GOOD FOR
00:49:06.37\00:49:10.18
BRINGING DOWN BLOOD PRESSURE?
>> IF YOU ARE USING GARLIC, USE
00:49:10.18\00:49:15.12
IT CONSISTENTLY. IT
HAS BENEFICIAL EFFECTS.
00:49:15.12\00:49:19.12
IT HAS THOSE ACE INHIBITOR C COM
00:49:19.12\00:49:24.63
COMPOUNDS. >>
YEAH, IT WOULD BE A MILD
00:49:24.63\00:49:27.13
EFFECT. >> TRUDIE
SAID SHE SAW PATIENTS
00:49:27.13\00:49:29.96
IN THEIR 50S WITH
NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE.
00:49:29.96\00:49:32.63
BUT LATER ON 80% WILL
HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.
00:49:32.63\00:49:37.34
WILL IT INCREASE
NATURALLY OR IS IT STRESS?
00:49:37.34\00:49:40.81
>> IT JUST DEPENDS,
RIGHT? IT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON.
00:49:40.81\00:49:44.41
YOU CAN HAVE STRESS IN YOUR
80S. ASK AN 80 YEAR OLD, RIGHT?
00:49:44.41\00:49:50.52
BUT A LOT OF TIMES WE'RE
WORRYING ABOUT THIS HARDENING OF
00:49:50.52\00:49:54.52
THE ARTERIES AS WE GET INTO THE
AGE GROUP, AND THAT'S A COMMON
00:49:54.52\00:49:59.83
CAUSE OF THE BLOOD
PRESSURE GOING UP HIGHER.
00:49:59.83\00:50:02.36
>> HEALTHY LIFESTYLE WHATEVER
AGE IS GOING TO HELP YOU.
00:50:02.36\00:50:06.43
>> HOW MUCH
EXERCISE IS ENOUGH EXERCISE?
00:50:06.43\00:50:09.64
DO WE NEED TO GO TO THE
GYM AND SWEAT -- YOU KNOW?
00:50:09.64\00:50:13.68
>> THE QUESTION WE NEED TO ASK
IS HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE
EXERCISE?-AND THAT WOULD BE
00:50:13.68\00:50:19.65
DAILY? >> SO A MINUTE A
DAY IS ENOUGH? [ LAUGHTER ]
00:50:19.65\00:50:22.22
>> THERE'S AMAZING STUDIES THAT
JUST INKREEZING YOUR EXERCISE BY
00:50:22.22\00:50:28.02
30 MINUTES A WEEK WILL DROP
YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE BY ABOUT 7
00:50:28.02\00:50:32.13
POINTS. >>
THAT'S FOUR OR FIVE, SIX
00:50:32.13\00:50:34.03
MINUTES A DAY. >>
EVERYBODY IS DOING AT LEAST
00:50:34.03\00:50:36.60
ONE SIT UP A DAY, RIGHT?
THEY SIT UP IN THE MORNING --
00:50:36.60\00:50:40.97
>> JUST RAMP IT UP. >>
YEAH, EVERYONE IS DOING A
00:50:40.97\00:50:43.61
LITTLE BIT. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:50:43.61\00:50:45.14
>> WE THINK THAT A DAILY IDEA
IS VERY EFFECTIVE BECAUSE OF THE
00:50:45.14\00:50:51.51
HABIT FORMING. AND
IT JUST DOESN'T GET INTO
00:50:51.51\00:50:54.08
YOUR HABIT PATTERN IF YOU
ARE DOING IT A COUPLE OF TIMES A
00:50:54.08\00:50:58.19
WEEK. >> IF YOU
ARE STARTING OUT IN
00:50:58.19\00:51:00.92
YOUR REASONABLE FITNESS, WE
USUALLY START WITH 20 MINUTES.
00:51:00.92\00:51:05.56
WE DID A STUDY SOME YEARS AGO
AND WORKED PEOPLE UP TO ABOUT AN
00:51:05.56\00:51:09.93
HOUR A DAY. >> EXCELLENT.
00:51:09.93\00:51:11.43
I KNEW SOME QUESTIONS
WOULD COME IN ON THIS.
00:51:11.43\00:51:16.24
SWEETENERS, WHAT IS
BETTER, HONEY, STEIA.
00:51:16.24\00:51:19.61
THIS SUGAR THING IS
A BIG DEAL. >> SURE.
00:51:19.61\00:51:22.51
HONEY IS A WEIGHT-GAINING ITEM.
SO HONEY HAS SOME BENEFICIAL
00:51:22.51\00:51:29.92
ANTIOXIDANTS IN IT. YOU
WANT TO OBVIOUSLY USE IT IN
00:51:29.92\00:51:33.05
MODERATION. IF YOU
HAVE A WEIGHT PROBLEM,
00:51:33.05\00:51:34.92
THEN YOU WANT TO LIMIT IT.
IF YOU WANT TO GET YOUR WEIGHT
00:51:34.92\00:51:38.56
DOWN. STEVIA IS
OKAY, BUT YOU JUST
00:51:38.56\00:51:41.06
NEED TO USE IT SPARINGLY,
BECAUSE OVERDOSING ON STEVIA
00:51:41.06\00:51:45.07
WILL HURT YOUR
LIVER. >> GOOD TO KNOW.
00:51:45.07\00:51:48.40
I HEAR SOME TALK ABOUT -- IS
IT COCONUT OIL -- COCONUT PALM
00:51:48.40\00:51:53.81
SUGAR -- OR COCONUT SUGAR?
THERE'S NO MUCH IN THE AIR, GOOD
00:51:53.81\00:51:59.91
NEWS, BAD NEWS, FALSE NEWS
-- >> THE BASICALLY PRINCIPALS
00:51:59.91\00:52:06.09
DON'T CHANGE. EAT THE
WHOLE PLANT FOODS, USE
00:52:06.09\00:52:10.09
THE ADDITIVES LESS.
WHATEVER THE LATEST GREATEST
00:52:10.09\00:52:14.10
THING IS, PROBABLY
ISN'T ALL THAT GREAT.
00:52:14.10\00:52:18.93
[ LAUGHTER ] >> WELL SAID.
00:52:18.93\00:52:20.67
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
AND CONGESTIVE HEART,
00:52:20.67\00:52:24.14
THINKS -- THINKS SHE
SHOULDN'T DRINK WATER.
00:52:24.14\00:52:29.94
>> WITH CONGESTIVE HEART
FAILURE, YOU NEED TO FOLLOW YOUR
00:52:29.94\00:52:34.45
DOCTOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS.
SOME PEOPLE ARE SENSITIVE TO
00:52:34.45\00:52:41.49
THE-WATER IN TAKE. SO, YOU KNOW,
BUT MOST -- IN MY EXPERIENCE
00:52:41.49\00:52:49.26
MOST PATIENTS W WITH --
CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE ARE NOT
DRINKING ANY WATER AT
00:52:49.26\00:52:55.84
ALL. MOST DOCTORS
ARE FINE WITH THEM
00:52:55.84\00:52:59.84
TAKING SIX TO
EIGHT GLASSES A DAY.
00:52:59.84\00:53:02.51
SO TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR
AND SEE, BUT MOST PATIENTS WITH
00:53:02.51\00:53:06.35
HEART FAILURE ARE PROBABLY
NOT DRINKING ENOUGH, ESPECIALLY
00:53:06.35\00:53:11.35
BECAUSE MOST OF
THEM ARE ON DIURETICS.
00:53:11.35\00:53:14.82
>> AND SAME THING WITH
CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE AS WELL.
00:53:14.82\00:53:19.73
>> OKAY. IRIS WANTS
TO KNOW IS TOFU GOOD
00:53:19.73\00:53:23.10
OR BAD FOR SOMEONE
WITH THYROID ISSUES?
00:53:23.10\00:53:26.13
>> I CAN ANSWER THAT.
IF -- IF YOU HAVE ADEQUATE
00:53:26.13\00:53:32.01
IODINE INTAKE,
TOFU SHOULD BE FINE.
00:53:32.01\00:53:36.08
IT'S WHEN YOU GET IODINE
DEFICIENT THAT SOME OF THESE
00:53:36.08\00:53:40.75
FOODS THAT HAVE COMPOUNDS THAT
THEY BECOME -- THEY GET A LITTLE
00:53:40.75\00:53:46.69
MORE SENSITIVE TO IT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
00:53:46.69\00:53:49.72
ANY OF THOSE ISSUES IN PLANT
FOODS IF YOU GET ENOUGH IODINE.
00:53:49.72\00:53:53.83
SO YOU CAN LOOK
INTO THAT. >> ALL RIGHT.
00:53:53.83\00:53:57.70
THIS IS SOMEONE FROM NIGERIA,
WHERE YOU MET YOUR WIFE.
00:53:57.70\00:54:02.17
>> WOW. >> AND
WANTS TO KNOW HOW CAN I
00:54:02.17\00:54:04.87
GET THE BOK IN NIGERIA?
>> WELL, AMAZON -- YOU CAN
00:54:04.87\00:54:10.45
ORDER, I THINK
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
00:54:10.45\00:54:13.01
IT IS ON  KED --
KINDL, SO IT'S AN E-BOOK.
00:54:13.01\00:54:21.99
SO YOU CAN GET IT
THAT WAY. HI, FROM AMERICA.
00:54:21.99\00:54:27.86
>> HOW WAS PORK
FIGURE INTO THIS SITUATION.
00:54:27.86\00:54:30.27
I KNOW WHEN YOU GET HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE THEY TAKE YOU OFF OF
00:54:30.27\00:54:35.77
PORK IMMEDIATELY. >>
YEAH, PORK IS JUST LIKE RED
00:54:35.77\00:54:39.24
MEATS IN ITS
EFFECTS IN THAT REGARD.
00:54:39.24\00:54:43.61
WE DON'T RECOMMEND PORK
TO LOWER YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.
00:54:43.61\00:54:47.32
A LOT OF THE PORK PRODUCTS
HAVE A LOT OF SODIUM, SO THAT IS
00:54:47.32\00:54:52.49
GOING TO RAISE YOUR BLOOD
PRESSURE AND CAUSE PROBLEMS.
00:54:52.49\00:54:55.92
>> JESSICA CLARK. THE
WATERY DRINK NEEDS TO BE
00:54:55.92\00:55:01.63
PURE AND
NON-FLUORIDATED, DO YOU AGREE?
00:55:01.63\00:55:04.67
>> I DEFINITELY
AGREE WITH THE PURE.
00:55:04.67\00:55:09.27
FLUORIDE IS SOMETIMES
FOUND NATURALLY IN WATERS.
00:55:09.27\00:55:12.21
SO IF SOMEONE HAS A NATURAL
SPRING, IF THERE IS FLUORIDE IN
00:55:12.21\00:55:17.21
IT, WE'RE NOT
SAYING THEY CAN'T USE IT.
00:55:17.21\00:55:20.15
BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL OF
THE CLARK FAMILY -- HE HAS
00:55:20.15\00:55:24.02
DEFINITELY GOT A LOT MORE
EXPERTISE WHEN IT COMES TO THE
00:55:24.02\00:55:28.22
DENTAL EFFECTS OF FLUORIDE
-- >> WE'LL HAVE TO SAVE THAT --
00:55:28.22\00:55:31.59
>> YEAH, WE'LL HAVE TO
SAVE THAT FOR WHEN HE IS ON.
00:55:31.59\00:55:34.86
I I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY BLOOD
PRESSURE EFFECTS IN THAT REGARD.
00:55:34.86\00:55:42.10
>> AND PHOSPHATE -- EVIDENTLY
IT'S NOT THE BEST THING, AND
00:55:42.10\00:55:47.61
THAT'S WHERE HIS BURDEN LIES.
IF YOU HAVE LOW HEART RATE AND

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF LOW
BLOOD PRESSURE AT THE PAGE OF
00:56:01.86\00:56:07.50

PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN
00:56:07.50\00:56:09.86
HOLD THEY HAVE LOW BLOOD
PRESSURE IT'S NOT DANGEROUS.
00:56:09.86\00:56:14.00
THE MAIN EFFECTS IS MAYBE
GETTING LIGHT-HEADED WHEN YOU
00:56:14.00\00:56:17.97
STAND UP, AND MAYBE BEING PRONE
TO COLD HANDS AND FEET, BUT I
00:56:17.97\00:56:23.81
WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE THOSE
PROBLEMS THAN STROKE, HEART

ATTACK AND KIDNEY FAILURE.
