Providing helpful information for people looking to tackle hypertension (high blood pressure). * I am not an expert!

I interviewed Dr. Paul Whelton, a lead member of the 2017 ACC/AHA Guideline Writing Committee for Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Management of High Blood Pressure!

Here are some takeaways:

[Elie Jarrouge, MD @ElieJarrougeMD]

Insulin is one of the hormones known to stimulate salt absorption by the kidneys. Chronic insulin elevation contributes to salt retention, a main cause of hypertension.

The problem is NOT dietary salt. It’s excessive sugar and carbs, keeping insulin high, driving salt retention.

@ElieJarrougeMD 3:1 ratio of potassium to sodium is a great goal

[Tension @Tension_120]

@nothinnfancy @anjupete @maxlugavere Yep, just referring to what individuals can add to their diet to help improve hypertension. Reducing sodium to less than 1500mg/daily can have a very significant impact on your blood pressure as well!

@hubermanlab if your goal is weight loss, does the temperature of your water actually have a significant impact?

@EWardRD @nypost As bad as candy 😂😂

“For the individuals put on aggressive blood pressure therapy, they reduced their risk of mild cognitive impairment” -@maxlugavere on JRE podcast #1870.

A lot of great stuff from this episode. More to come later!

One of the biggest takeaways I had after interviewing Dr. Paul Whelton is that most people do not or do not know how to take their blood pressure from home.

Would love to do a test of this myself. Thinking of a 2-week (15 minutes/day) trial to see the impact on my own blood pressure. Any recommendations on breath training devices?

A calorie is a calorie like a mile is a mile, whether uphill or downhill.

The quality of the mile makes all the difference, as does the source of your calories when dieting.

Sticking to whole foods with a heavy focus on protein and fiber makes fat loss an easy stroll downhill.

@maxlugavere Amazing how quick the cravings go away!
