ARE YOU ON BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION? — DR. ERIC WESTMAN

[Conversations with Dr. Westman: Episode 50]

High blood pressure (aka hypertension) is more common than you’d think. It's not safe to have your blood pressure run high all the time, but unfortunately, some of the most commonly prescribed medications for this come with a long list of negative side-effects -- including higher blood sugar! 🤯

The good thing is, low-carb and keto diets are effective for improving most cases of hypertension. You're probably used to hearing that a high sodium/salt intake is what causes high blood pressure. This is true for some people, but for many others the bigger culprit is carbs! In fact, high blood pressure is included in the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome, a cluster of issues associated with insulin resistance. So if high insulin is the main factor here, what's the solution? Lower the insulin level. And the most effective way to do that is to cut carbs.

Find out more about hypertension and navigating blood pressure medicine on a ketogenic diet in Adapt’s latest Conversations with Dr. Westman.
