This is the most effective treatment that's ever been shown in treating the leading cause of death and disability, which is high blood pressure. It also reduces insulin resistance. It can enhance cognitive capacities, and you also see it affecting things like depression and anxiety. It's called fasting, and there's more. Fasting introduces not just a chance to lose weight, it also mobilizes visceral fat, which is the fat around the belly and the organs, which is giving off inflammatory products that's causing heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and many people are maintaining higher visceral fat than what they should be. So I spent forty years helping people get healthy, and I can tell you that I think you should be fasting every day.

The transcript discusses several intertwined points about the FDA's funding, information sources, and a personal health journey. It states that the FDA gets 47% of its funding from the pharmaceutical industry, and that this information was released only after a rumor claimed 50% of their funding came from big pharma. The speaker notes, “the people that you’re supposed to be making rules and regulations for are the same people that are paying you money,” describing this as a conflict of interest and urging readers to consider the implication of funding influencing regulatory decisions. The speaker then shifts to their personal experience with health issues and the challenge of finding valid information that isn’t paid for by big pharma. They share a statistic attributed to women with similar issues: “85 to ninety percent of the women who experience the same issues that I experience notice changes in their symptoms or alleviation completely from their symptoms simply by changing their diet, namely going gluten free.” Although the speaker says they personally are not inclined to adopt gluten-free changes, they are cutting out refined carbs and sugars from their diet and report progress: “I've been on this diet for two days now, and I already feel a ton different.” This personal anecdote is presented in the context of comparing diet-driven symptom changes to pharmaceutical influence. The speaker mentions ongoing changes to their living space and routines as part of their broader stance. They say, “we're putting up our squat rack again in our home gym,” signaling a strengthening or lifestyle shift. They also report, “we did get some egg laying birds,” suggesting new household activities. Throughout, there is a reiterated sentiment directed at big pharma: “basically saying a big to big pharma,” underscoring their stance against pharmaceutical influence. Finally, the speaker emphasizes the surprising nature of the 47% funding figure and reiterates, “I still can't believe it's 47% of their funding, and they think that's okay.” They invite audience engagement, closing with, “as always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts about all of this down below.”

If someone has a heart attack or stroke-level high blood pressure, paramedics will inject saline, which is 9,000 milligrams of salt in water. For extremely high blood pressure, they might administer two bags, totaling 18,000 milligrams of salt, which lowers blood pressure. The kidneys use sodium potassium pumps to release water. Sodium is another word for salt. When people deprive themselves of salt, the kidneys don't get enough, causing water retention and increased pressure on blood vessels. Many Americans are prescribed diuretics like Lasix to help them urinate. Lasix is patented salt. The speaker claims it's one of the greatest lies in medicine that doctors want people to swallow prescription salt in tablet form instead of consuming it in their food.

High blood pressure is often attributed to age, genetics, or luck, but lifestyle factors are frequently the cause. Current treatments address the symptom of high blood pressure without targeting the root cause. Addressing root causes like excess weight, electrolyte imbalance, and unstable blood sugar can naturally lower blood pressure. Clients have reduced or eliminated their blood pressure medication by losing weight, improving nutrition, increasing movement, and eating real food. Reducing physical stress on the cardiovascular system through these methods can alleviate the need to live in fear of high blood pressure. The body and heart can improve over time when root causes are addressed.

One of the easiest ways to start lowering your blood pressure, to bring it down, to start eating more potassium rich foods. It works by several different mechanisms. First, potassium acts as a natural diuretic. It promotes the excretion of sodium, that's salt in your body, and an excess water through your urine. It helps reduce the volume of blood and it lowers blood pressure. Additionally, potassium helps relax the walls of the blood vessels, promoting better blood flow, reducing strain on the cardiovascular system taking pressure off the heart. By countering the effects of sodium and supporting vascular health, a diet rich in potassium rich foods such as bananas, sweet potatoes, spinach, and avocado, as well as many other vegetables contribute to the regulation of blood pressure and your overall cardiac wellness. So start eating more potassium rich foods, and your body will love you.

To fix high blood pressure, reduce inflammation and oxidative stress by eliminating junk food and adopting a whole foods, plant-rich diet. This diet should be high in potassium, fiber, good fats, calcium, and magnesium, which is crucial for blood pressure regulation. Reduce or eliminate starch and sugar, opting for fruits and vegetables as carbohydrate sources. Consume omega-3 fats and avoid processed and inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy. Prioritize protein and fat for breakfast instead of starch or sugar, avoiding common American breakfast items like cereal and pastries. Incorporate flax seeds for fiber and stay hydrated. Exercise is essential for maintaining normal blood pressure.

The speaker apologizes on behalf of the medical community, stating that people were misled to believe salt caused health problems when sugar was the actual culprit. While reducing salt intake can lower blood pressure, its effect is weak. The speaker advises patients to cut carbohydrates and sugar while increasing fat and salt intake. This approach lowers insulin, which in turn lowers blood pressure more effectively than cutting salt. Lowering blood sugar reduces excess in circulation, aiding blood pressure reduction. Low-salt diets increase insulin resistance and trigger aldosterone, a hormone that retains sodium, raising the risk of heart disease and cancer, and keeping blood pressure high. The speaker emphasizes that salt is essential and should not be demonized.

If you have humans cut back their salt considerably, they become insulin resistant. So take a healthy group of humans, say you need to eat less salt, and they do so. If you measure them a week later while they're adhering to this, they will be significantly more insulin resistant than before they ever cut back their salt. It's one of the ironies of the whole scenario where a physician may be telling a patient with high blood pressure, you need to cut back your salt. And they end up eating less salt, and yet their blood pressure gets worse. It's because the main contributor to high blood pressure is insulin resistance. And by telling them to cut back on their salt, you made them more insulin resistant. And that whole mechanism is because one of insulin's many, many effects is to want the body to hold on to salt and water. And so if you start cutting your salt, all of a sudden, says, well, there's little salt coming in. I need to do what I can to retain whatever salt we do have. And so it starts retaining salt and water more in order to try to offset the lack of salt coming in. And while insulin's going higher and higher, the body's becoming more and more insulin resistant.

Speaker 0 explains that every diet they create blends functional Western medicine with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), leaning slightly toward TCM. They’ve treated thousands of patients, perhaps over 10,000, and find using Chinese medicine–based dietary recommendations to be the most effective for healing. Early in their career they recommended gluten-free diets, including for children in the autistic community, then adopted the GAPS diet, which helped many with gut microbiome issues, neurodegenerative issues, and autoimmune conditions. They later moved toward a Chinese medicine approach, noting that while GAPS is helpful for many, the TCM framework allows for very specific food recommendations tailored to particular conditions. Examples: for liver issues, recommend steamed vegetables and foods rich in glycine like bone broth; green and sour foods tend to aid detoxification, with a little bitterness also beneficial. For cardiovascular issues, bitter foods and red foods are especially helpful, such as tomatoes, hawthorn, or pomegranate. For upper GI digestion, orange foods are preferred, including sweet potatoes and pumpkin; beef can fit into both heart and upper digestion categories. For immune system concerns, white and light yellow foods are emphasized, with chicken soup (yellow broth), ginger tea (yellow), garlic, onion, and miso as yellow immune activators. Pears are recommended for respiratory issues. Hormonal or adrenal concerns benefit from mushrooms, which come in purple, blue, and black hues, suggesting multi-color nourishment. In sum, foods and flavors are used as medicinal tools to treat different conditions. Speaker 1 asks how this culture figured out that colors of foods impact different organs. Speaker 0 responds by describing a long, collaborative learning process: thousands of physicians, extensive testing, and millions of case studies that reveal patterns. They reference a principle their father discusses about determining truth by analyzing overlaps among top financial investors to identify lasting principles, analogizing that researchers found patterns like sour activating the liver and bitter activating bile release and dampness clearance. They emphasize that bitter foods, the most bitter being potent, have predictable effects, and combinations of bitter and sweet yield specific outcomes. Sour foods are linked to probiotic effects; they note that sour prevalence in probiotic foods influences microbial environments. Speaker 1 notes personal experiences with probiotics, pondering why they can’t tolerate probiotics, hinting at SIBO or histamine reactions. Speaker 0 explains a probiotic distinction: soil-based organisms (spore-forming bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis) tend to be less sour and may be better for people with SIBO or histamine sensitivity, though they’re transient and pass through the system, whereas food-based probiotics may have more lasting colonization. They mention that there are products that include soil-based probiotics, sometimes marketed under the term “Spore Biotics.”

Potassium, not magnesium, is claimed to lower blood pressure more effectively than reducing salt intake. Most people only get 50% of their daily potassium needs due to modern food processing. Magnesium is said to be ineffective without adequate potassium. The recommended daily intake is 4,700 milligrams. Sources include coconut water (600mg), avocado (1,000mg), and halibut (916mg per 6oz). Potassium intake should be balanced with magnesium. It is advised to check kidney function and start slowly, especially if taking blood pressure medication. A complete mineral guide is offered.

Salt, particularly Celtic salt, rich in minerals like magnesium, can help with high blood pressure by aiding in hydration at the cellular level. Drinking water with Celtic salt before each glass can prevent excessive urination from water intake. Lifestyle factors like dehydration, mineral deficiencies, vitamin D deficiency, high carb/sugar diet, and inactivity can also contribute to high blood pressure. Genetics may predispose individuals, but lifestyle choices ultimately impact blood pressure levels.

The most important thing is changing our diet because it's full of starch, sugar, refined oils, additives, pesticides, herbicides, emulsifiers, thickeners, additives, and sweeteners, causing inflammation. Gluten is a huge inflammatory food because of the way we change our wheat production. Dwarf wheat has way more gluten proteins, starch, and sugar, so it's more inflammatory. Heirloom gluten foods like farro, triticale, kemet, emmer wheat, einkorn wheat, and zea wheat may be better if you don't have celiac disease and may not cause the same level of inflammation. Dairy creates congestion, digestive issues, allergies, acne, and generalized inflammation. Sugar is a huge factor by its effect on laying down belly fat. Adipocytes, fat cells, produce cytokines, inflammatory molecules that create inflammation.

The main cause of high blood pressure is a deficiency in magnesium, which affects the muscles in our arteries. Arteries have muscles that help pump blood away from the heart, while veins do not. When the heart pumps blood into the arteries, the muscle in the artery constricts and relaxes with the help of magnesium and calcium. If there is not enough magnesium, the muscle cannot relax and stays constricted, leading to increased blood pressure. High blood pressure is not caused by genetics, age, or curses, but rather by a lack of the necessary nutrients.

Omega-three fatty acids: an incredible anti inflammatory that can lower triglycerides, regulate blood pressure, and decrease the risk of heart disease. Magnesium, the most common electrolyte deficiency, helps regulate muscle function, improving blood pressure and heart rhythm, reducing cardiovascular events. Coenzyme ten, a powerful antioxidant essential for heart muscle, reduces oxidative stress, increases blood flow, and decreases the risk of heart disease. These are supplements, not substitutions for a healthy lifestyle, whole foods, a well-rounded diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking.

High blood pressure is often attributed to salt intake, but the real issue may be insulin resistance. Healthy kidneys can process and excrete excess salt, but over 90% of people have some level of insulin resistance. When cells become resistant to insulin, more insulin is required to move blood sugar into cells. This excess insulin causes the kidneys to retain sodium, triggers the fight-or-flight response constricting blood vessels, and blocks nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels. These factors increase blood pressure. Therefore, insulin resistance, not salt, is the primary cause of high blood pressure. To improve blood pressure, focus on metabolic health by prioritizing protein, strength training, walking after meals, and eliminating ultra-processed foods.

Homocysteine is a normal amino acid found in everyone's blood. However, if you have a genetic condition that prevents your body from breaking it down, it can lead to high levels of homocysteine called hyperhomocystinemia. When homocysteine levels rise, it irritates the lining of the arteries, causing them to narrow and increase blood pressure. This doesn't mean there's something wrong with the heart, but often medications are prescribed to treat the heart instead. In the case of Dana White, who had high levels of homocysteine, his arteries relaxed and blood pressure returned to normal after taking a vitamin supplement called trimethylglycine (TMG) that helped break down homocysteine.

To address insulin resistance, it's important to avoid excessive carbohydrates, including sugar and starch, as well as seed oils, which can cause inflammation. Keeping a food log to monitor carbohydrate intake is recommended. Maintaining a consistently low carbohydrate intake over several weeks is crucial. Monitoring blood pressure at home is also advised. If the top blood pressure number doesn't decrease, it may indicate a sympathetic nervous system issue, requiring stress management techniques like sufficient sleep, long walks, ashwagandha, or magnesium before bed. This approach is presented as a solution for hypertension.

Doctor Holland and Fasano at Harvard published a study that shows when humans eat wheat, every human that eats wheat, not just the celiacs, but every human that eats wheat gets tears in the inside lining of the gut every time they're going to disease. There’s a barrier between your bloodstream and your intestines called your gut lining, and your gut lining has microscopic holes in it. Over time, if somebody has intestinal inflammation, large holes open up in your gut lining. Some cells turn over very quickly; the inside lining of the gut has a new lining every three to seven days. So you had toast for breakfast, it heals; you have a sandwich for lunch, it heals; pasta for dinner, it heals; croutons on your salad, it heals; a cookie, but it heals day after week, after month, after year, after year, after year, until one day you don’t heal anymore. When you don’t heal, that’s pathogenic intestinal permeability, and these tears can occur and stay torn when you lose tolerance. You don’t heal anymore, whether you’re two years old, 22, or 72, it just depends on when you cross that threshold as to when this happens, but it happens. What can happen now is undigested food particles such as gluten, casein, toxins, bad bacteria, candida can leak from the intestines into the bloodstream. Your body says those shouldn’t be here. It starts this immune response, and if that isn’t corrected over time, it can start autoimmune disease, and systemic inflammation can affect the joints causing rheumatoid arthritis; it can affect the thyroid causing Hashimoto’s thyroiditis; it can affect the colon causing things like Crohn’s disease or the muscles causing fibromyalgia. So really all autoimmune disease is first caused by leaky gut. It starts in the gut lining. The biggest factors causing this gut reaction are: certain foods, refined grain products; sugar is a big one because sugar feeds candida and yeast in your body, which causes this issue. Genetically modified organisms are wired with pesticides and viruses, which kill off beneficial microbes in the gut, causing leaky gut and autoimmune disease. Also looking at hydrogenated oils; artificial sweeteners are a big one—all of these things contribute to leaky gut. So if you have any inflammatory condition or really any chronic condition, gluten should be at the top of your list in thinking about why, whether it’s an autoimmune disease, digestive disorders, depression, neurologic issues; many of these things are driven through gluten, and by doing an elimination diet you can often see the impact. We’ve seen athletes like Djokovic, who’s actually selling his career by removing inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy and sugar, and seeing him go from near the bottom of the pile of professional tennis players to number one and unbeatable.
