In this video, I'll uncover the best natural ways to
lower your blood pressure without medication.
There are enormous amount of people out there suffering from high blood pressure.
Most people go to their doctors, they find out they have high blood pressure, and then
they're put on a medication for eternity basically.
So, what I want to teach you in this video is how to actually lower your blood pressure
without using medications.
Cause here's the deal is there's a lot of natural things that you can do that most people
are completely unaware of that will drastically lower your blood pressure.
So, stick around to the end.
But before we get started, I'm Dr. Zyrowski and welcome to the channel.

And I'm going to help you excel your health and your life.
And at the end of this video, one of the things I'll do is tell you my personal experience
with high blood pressure.
Yes, I've had it myself and of course some different patient stories as well.
So, let's go ahead and dive right into this topic here.
When we look at high blood pressure, there's a lot of people who face this issue as I mentioned.
It's estimated that one in three Americans are suffering from it, which equates to about
70 million people.
This is a big problem for many, many people.
Now the problem is that you end up with is high blood pressure and then like I said,
you go, you get a medication and nobody's ever talking about what you can do to naturally
reverse this problem.
And the other thing too is that when we look at high blood pressure, a lot of people have
a misunderstanding of it because they think that blood pressure should be locked in at
120 over 80.
It shouldn't be low, it shouldn't be high, it should just be 120 over 80 and that's perfect.
The truth is though that's kind of an ideal number, many people will have fluctuating
blood pressure.
Mine always remains higher than that.
It always has.
When I was a child, they used to test me for blood pressure and find out that, oh, he's
got higher blood pressure.
Never like into the point of them wanting me to go see a doctor and get medication,
but they always noted that I had higher blood pressure because the truth is that some people
will come in a little bit higher, some people will be a little bit lower.
There's no research out there that says that you need to be clamped in at a very specific
number.
What most of the research shows is that people will fluctuate a little bit and that's okay
as long as it's within a safe number.
So, let's go ahead and talk about some of the different things that you can do in order
to lower your blood pressure.
Like I said, a lot of people have this issue.
How do we go about implementing the things that you can do naturally in your home in
order to reverse this problem?
Let's go ahead and start with some of the different dietary slash things that you're
eating, drinking, that kind of thing.
Now.
First, we want to talk about caffeine.
Caffeine is a pretty big issue when it comes to blood pressure.
What most people who have blood pressure instability will find is that consuming coffee, consuming
some sort of energy drink will just put your blood pressure through the roof.
A lot of times you'll have different symptoms of it, and when you have these different caffeinated
beverages, then your symptoms start to arise and next thing you know you're having issues.
Now the thing that I find with caffeine is this is that people who are very caffeine
sensitive as in you have the gene, the genetic snip that you have a little bit of a harder
time going and breaking down caffeine in the liver, these particular people have a bigger
problem with it as in they will drink caffeine and it'll just send their blood pressure into
a frenzy.
Now people who are able to process caffeine a little bit faster, they don't have as much
of an issue.
This blue line right here represents those who drink caffeine and they can process it
quickly.
Essentially that caffeine will just die off in their system as in like you'll utilize
it, it'll be gone, it'll be metabolized.
And then when you have those people who are those slower caffeine processors that caffeine
will just keep going in their system and metabolize very slowly and six to 12 hours later they
can still have caffeine going and surging throughout their body.
So, we have to be careful.
I happen to be one of those people who has that caffeine problem.
So, I always have to be careful when it comes to coffee or anything caffeinated.
So, we want to make sure that we restrict caffeine.
If we have high blood pressure, it's something that's very important to do.
Next thing on our list is we have to decrease alcohol.
I'm not going to speak too much on that, but basically, you know, part of living a healthy
lifestyle is not going and drinking a bunch of alcohol.
So, if you're someone who's consuming a lot of alcohol, start removing it from your lifestyle
completely.
If you're someone who has high blood pressure and you're serious about getting it under
control.
Next is diet.
When it comes to diet, it's the same thing.
I'm not going to dive too deep into diet because I do an enormous amount of content on that
and you know what, if you want to learn more, I'll put lots of information surrounding this
topic in the description below here.
Now when it comes to diet, it's very important to make sure you're removing sugar, all the
processed foods, all the junk foods, and the high carb intake because guess who has a lot
of problems with high blood pressure?
Those who have Type II diabetes, those who have insulin resistance.
We want to make sure that we're cleaning up our diet, focusing on a good whole food diet
that's really based in good quality proteins, veggies, and eating low carbohydrates, so
that's very important to do with the diet.
Of course, if you're smoking, it's time to kick that habit.
I know easier said than done, but smoking also contributes in a huge way to people who
are suffering from high blood pressure.
Like I said, if you're serious about this, it's something that you have to do.
A lot of times when I'm working with patients all the time, I know that they will kind of
not necessarily be following my advice.
Kind of following in my advice.
Here's the deal.
If you want to get the job done and lower your blood pressure naturally you have to
follow this advice.
There's no cheating on it.
Next on our list here is talking about exercise.
Exercising on a daily basis is a great way to start lowering your blood pressure.
Research shows time and time again that I'm making exercise habitual, doing it on a daily
basis is very, very good at lowering your blood pressure.
Many people who have high blood pressure issues will find that after going for a jog, a run,
doing some weightlifting, it will decrease their blood pressure for a period of time
and it'll help stabilize it.
So exercising is something that's important.
Sleep is critical.
I mean, sleep is really one of those foundational pillars to all health.
If you're not getting good sleep at night, it's something that you have to focus on mastering.
There's no doubt about it.
In fact, when I was suffering from some high blood pressure issues, sleep was a major issue
for me and I was laying in bed for eight hours a night.
I was thinking to myself, I'm getting great sleep.
I'm in bed all this time.
Truth is, is that with young kids and stress and everything else, I wasn't sleeping at
all.
I was topping out at about four hours of sleep at night, not getting into a deep sleep cycle.
It was a mess.
And as a result amongst many other things, it was causing my blood pressure to go high.
So, sleep is a big deal.
As I mentioned in other videos, if you are not doing so, it's probably a good time to
start tracking your sleep using different sleep trackers out there in order to identify
the quality of sleep, not necessarily the quantity of sleep, but the quality of sleep
that you're having on a daily basis.
Now let's talk about relaxation because stress is a major contributor to those who are suffering
from high blood pressure.
If you want to reverse high blood pressure, you have to be able to manage stress.
This is something that I struggle with from time to time.
Don't we all?
But relaxation is something that we need to implement into our life if we want to reverse
this issue here.
Now, one of the things that I recommend for those who are suffering from a lot of stress,
first of all, I mean avoid the stressful situations at all costs.
Of course, like I said about the smoking, easier said than done, but in the same hand,
if we're serious about our health, we have to start taking this very seriously.
I mean, whether it's an interaction, particular people, or a particular scenario that you
come across on a daily basis, whatever it is that's causing the stress you have to work
on fixing that particular problem.
Another thing that you can do is some different breathing exercises.
Meditation along with breathing exercises are going to be great.
There's something that you can do a type of breathing called box breathing.
This box breathing is pretty simple.
You basically breathe in over a four second period.
You hold your breath for four seconds, breathe out over a four second period, hold your breath
for four seconds and then repeat.
You just keep repeating that cycle.
Do it for about 10 minutes at a time.
You can do it three times a day and even move up to like 20 minutes if that's something
that you need.
Meditate during this time.
Really try to focus in on your overall health and what's really important for you, but also
try to really just forget about those things that are stressing you out, try to dump that
stress because it's a huge thing.
If you want to reverse high blood pressure, you have to make sure that your stress isn't
a factor for you.
And here's the deal too, is that for every single person, it's something different.
For some people it's enormous amounts of stress.
For some people it's bad sleep.
For some people it's nutritional problems.
We'll talk about that in just a moment.
Nutritional problems can also be you have a really bad diet.
I mean it's a little bit different for everybody and some people genetically just have a family
history of having high blood pressure like I do.
And so it's something that everybody deals with in a different way, but the truth is,
is that we have to make sure that we just do everything can to reverse this problem
naturally because once you go the medication route, like I said, we all know how that ends.
Well, it doesn't end.
You just end up on the medication forever and then of course that has other negative
side effects to your overall cardiovascular health.
Now time - time is something that we have to understand here because your high blood
pressure didn't come on overnight and it isn't going to go away overnight.
You can implement all this stuff and it can still take multiple weeks to months to actually
reverse the problem.
It can be reversed, but it can take a while and so we have to be aware of that.
I have some people who will go and they'll try one of these methods or they'll implement
a couple of things and they'll give it a week or two and it didn't work.
And so they get frustrated and want to quit.
But the truth is, is that it can take time and you have to be willing to give it that
time.
Be willing to put in that hard effort.
Anybody I've ever worked with in helping them reverse high, high blood pressure.
It can be a challenge and it can be something that you have to be in for the long term in
order to reverse this problem.
And every person is different.
Some of them are very challenging.
Sometimes it's very challenging to get your blood pressure to reverse and other times
you can do it fairly quick.
Everybody's different.
Understand that.
And if you understand that little concept right there, you'll know that when you start
on this journey that it can take a while and you won't get discouraged when results don't
have happened overnight.
Let's go ahead and talk about some different nutrients you can do.
So, one of the things I like to utilize clinically is something called grape seed extract.
You're going to get this in like a supplement form because here's the deal is we're looking
for all the ways to reverse blood pressure naturally because when we talk about blood
pressure, you have to take it seriously.
It can lead to severe kidney problems, it can lead to stroke, heart attack, neurological
problems like dementia, brain issues.
And it also can lead to just overall decline in your cardiovascular health.
So, we have to make sure that we're taking it seriously.
This is no joke.
And so, when I personally dealt with high blood pressure, I threw everything at it.
I threw everything I had at it because I didn't want to do the medication.
And so, here's some of the things I was doing.
Now, grape seed extract has been shown in the research to not only decrease systolic
but also diastolic blood pressure.
And it has been shown to significantly reduce this, which is really awesome.
So, we want to take this seriously.
Grape seed extract is one of those things that you don't often hear about, but it also
is very powerful and the research actually proves it.
This isn't something that is maybe.
It is actually proven in the research.
Next is olive leaf extract.
These are two of my favorites right here.
That's why they're starred.
Olive leaf extract.
They did this one study.
They took 27 patients.
What they found is those who are on the olive leaf extract had significantly lower blood
pressure than those who were not on it, the placebo group.
And so once again this olive leaf extract here has been shown to work very well.
They're used between about 150 in 300 milligrams on the individuals who are taking this olive
leaf extract.
Now here's some other things.
Like I said, those are two of my favorites.
Here's some other things to take into consideration.
Magnesium is very good.
Magnesium is kind of the great calmer, that mineral that helps calm your nervous system,
that helps calm your musculoskeletal health, everything.
So, magnesium is really great and it's very calming for the nerves, which in turn is going
to help lower your blood pressure.
So, utilizing magnesium, taking Epson salt baths, these are all great ways in order to
go in and lower your blood pressure.
CoQ10 is also powerful.
In general, CoQ10 is powerful for your heart health.
So, if you're someone who's just looking to increase your heart health in all ways, CoQ10
is definitely on the top of your list, and if you're someone who's on some sort of heart
medication, CoQ10 also should be on the top of your list considering a lot of these medications
actually deplete you of this essential nutrient that is imperative for your heart.
And by the way, if you want to learn more about different nutrients that you should
take for your heart health, what I'll do is I'll put a link to a video I did write up
here.
Very powerful stuff.
It actually is lifesaving cause many people suffer from heart issues.
I'll also put it in the description below.
So CoQ10.
Fish oils is another big one.
And then garlic.
A lot of research out there on garlic helping to lower blood pressure.
I mean, typically if I'm working with some of these cases, I'll start with these right
here and then utilize some magnesium.
A lot of times from there, if we're not getting any results, what we'll do is add everything
in.
So sometimes we'll do everything in order to try to get results because getting results
is very important.
As I mentioned, high blood pressure can cause some serious issues for you if it goes unchecked
and you're not able to bring it down.
Now, last thing I want to mention is don't cheat.
Here's one of the things I've noticed about high blood pressure is you can't cheat it.
If you're following a trash diet, if you're not getting good sleep at night, but yet you
just want to go and do the supplements because you figure, this stuff right here is an important.
The silly breathing stuff, we don't need to do that.
Let's just take the supplements.
Let's get out of this whole thing easy.
It won't happen.
I mean at time and time again, I see people try to cheat the system.
It doesn't work.
You really have to throw everything in and a lot of times you know the exercise, the
relaxation, the proper sleep, the diet, those are going to be at your core.
Those are your core things you have to focus on.
But what I like to do is after we focus on the core stuff, we go in and move into this
because it is so imperative that we bring that blood pressure down successfully.
Otherwise you're going to have to use medication.
I'm not saying that the medication is the worst thing in the world and you shouldn't
ever do it.
By all means, if you can't get your blood pressure down, you have to take it seriously.
I know some people who've done all the natural things genetically, their family all has high
blood pressure issues.
They were not able to bring it down so they utilize some of this here with a blood pressure
medication.
But I will tell you, I have seen a lot of success with utilizing this information right
here in order to bring your blood pressure down.
I personally have dealt with high blood pressure.
Same thing, a family thing, but here's the deal.
My big issues were around sleep and my big issues were also around stress.
Sleep and stress were my big issues.
One of the ways that I noticed I started having high blood pressures, I started getting a
lot of tension in the back of my neck and I was also feeling a lot of tension right
up here in my temples.
And so, as a result I just had this pressure buildup and I was like, what is going on?
And then it kind of dawned on me, yeah, this is probably a sign of high blood pressure
- checked my blood pressure.
It was high.
So, I started doing all this stuff.
But like I said, these were the two biggest factors for me.
Sleep, relaxation.
I've worked with a lot of patients where it's more of a dietary issue.
It's like they got Type II diabetes, they got all kinds of stuff going on.
They're doing this stuff right here, drinking five cups of coffee a day.
You start reversing some of that, those issues right there and as a result, the blood pressure
goes down.
So, there's so many different ways that you can look at this and for everybody it's different
like I mentioned from the very beginning of the video.
So, identify which areas you need to work on.
Utilize some of the nutritional supplementation.
I'll put some links in the description below to some different ones that we use.
Especially these ones are a little bit harder to find.
There's different trademark products out there that seem to work better than others we found.
I'll put all that in the description below.
Give this video a thumbs up and share it with your friends.
