There is an epidemic of high blood pressure (hypertension) happening, and it's the one thing you want to control because it can cause heart attacks, strokes, plaque build-up in the arteries (atherosclerosis), among other ailments. Treating high blood pressure's root cause, metabolic syndrome, is key to lowering it and having a complete cardiac examination. So in this video, I will explain why the workup of high blood pressure in most patients is incomplete.

    When I was younger, back in UK, I had purchased a house that required major renovations - taking most of my income and requiring me to get a second job. I worked on the house myself for a long time, and during that time, I barely had money for food - all resources going towards the house. I literally survived on 500 calories a day for years - which I scrounged from work or family. Never felt better. Alert, not bloated and lethargic, full of energy and really quite happy with my lot. Fell in love, got married and moved to the US. Now I had access to food any time I wanted it, in huge amounts - yep, I gained 150 lbs (was 125 and 5’8”). Feel awful most of the time, have diabetes with kidney complications, hypertension, fatty liver, and last year uterine cancer. ALL of these things are caused by my being overweight. Watching this doctors videos, I’m reminded of what I used to know - ultra low calorie / fasting diets actually make us healthy. I am inspired to try and give myself a break and sort out the unhealthy habits I have formed. Wish me luck!
  • Done this for just over 3 weeks. One meal a day, 20 mins exercise, low carb, no processed food. My BP has dropped from ranges of 143/93 to averages of 117/68. I am sleeping a lot better as well as a result. This works people and this doctor is literally God sent.
  • @rkardos4220
    Most Doctors don't seem to look for the root cause of High Blood Pressure other than writing a prescription. Great information
  • @nbk7st6
    I am 72, have HP, on OMAD for a month now, ditched sugar, rice, bread, etc, no processed foods, beet, cucumber, turmeric, apple, etc juice every day. My BP is now 123/70/68. I have watched several videos and took the common ingredients recommended by each doctor or specialist. Thank God for showing me the way. With God, nothing is impossible.
  • I'm 58 and have lost over 90 lbs so far getting rid of processed foods, eating just once a day and intermittent fasting. I feel so well! I'm off my blood pressure meds and my osteoarthritis pain is so much better I'm able to be active again! I'm so thankful for these videos. It's been life changing
  • After only 2 weeks fasting my blood pressure is reduced to 127/62! I'm 82 yrs old and have been on blood pressure medication for over 30 years. I'm going to start weaning myself off this medication. Thank you Doctor.
  • @lopezjo
    I've been following Dr. Jamnadas advice since February. Went from 180/109 to 120/79. Lost total of 30 lbs. Simply cutting out all sugar and carbohydrates. Fasting by eating 1 meal a day and doing 2 day fasts once a week. Goal is to do 3 to 5 day fasts. Thank you Dr., you saved my life.
  • Been on high blood pressure meds 25 years. Went LCHF diet with 20/4 intermittent fasting and in a month I was able to totally drop my Lisinopril and cut my Atenolol prescription in half. I am amazed!!! In nine weeks I lost 12 lbs and am now 130 lbs. Five pounds to go but this type eating will be my lifestyle the rest of my life. I am 75. Thank you Dr. Jamnadas for helping me reverse my high blood pressure.
  • suffering from headaches, bouts of dizziness and chronic pain, kidney pain and stones, itchy skin, hair loss, fat around my belly that won’t go away, heart palpitations, tired all the time crave sugary foods like crazy and Not feeling well can’t enjoy life. Glad I found these videos he gives plenty of information.
  • @peggywebb331
    I wish all doctors were as passionate as this doctor in treating his patients. He is a Gem!!
  • I'm obese, taking medication for hypertension, cholesterol and angina. About two months ago, I was diagnosed as insulin resistant. Since then, I've been watching your videos and have started doing intermittent fasting (20:4) and have lost 15 pounds... Low carb with reduced caloric intake. My blood sugar level has gradually decreased but not yet in optimal levels. The excitement has motivated me to continue. My goal is to reach a BMI in the low 20s, normal glucose levels, reverse insulin resistance and get off the medications I'm currently taking. Thank you Doctor.
  • @ibuprofenPill
    Mine is caused by four things: too much caffeine, stress, sodium and not enough exercise. The stress is by far the toughest to control.
  • @lococholo2857
    Everything about this video is me!!! I'm 46 and have metabolic syndrome.. i.e weight around my waist, have stage 3 fatty liver, high diastolic blood pressure and most likely insulin resistant.. Just recently discovered this information and in 2 weeks of eating no carbs and sugars and processed foods and sticking to a 18 6 eating regimen, have lost 10 kilos and just walking an average of 6 to 10,000 steps a day.. Will start working out a bit more in the gym and maybe eating once a week a couple to 3 times a week as of next week.. I do feel much better in these past 2 weeks of zero sugar and carbs and the biggest thing I gave up drinking was diet coke.. All gone!! Cheers doc!

    you have inspired me Dr.pradip to go back to school and become a heath scientist and save my people. Here in my country most if not all my friends are suffering with those metabolic and chronic diseases that you talk of. I myself was an obese person and people used to describe me as the fat guy. I had already started my journey of understanding my body and nutrition and had lost weight already before i came across you videos. But you have made clear what was not clear before and now am an expert in weight management and understand chronic diseases and how to go about them. The things you guys do for the people no money can buy, because health is the number one precious thing of all worldly things a person can have. I hope and pray to my God to make my dreams come true. My dream doctor is to sensitize people about their health for free of charge as you do. The challenge we have here good education is way expensive but i will struggle to reach my goals, am still utilizing free resources but when i get an affordable program i will enroll. Thanks Dr.Pradip, your voice reaches us here in Uganda.
  • Doctor... Your content is a wealth of information. My hubby has high BP and was prescribed blood thinner right away without finding out if he might be insulin resistance or has kidney issues or has hormonal imbalance issues. Hope you put out more content to help us layman out there. You are a gem!
  • I am glad there is a group of Doctors advocating for good health, and encouraging people to stay healthy. Simple things can save our lives and a pill is not the answer. Stay blessed
  • In 2017 my brother was weighing 330 lbs at a height of 5'10" with a medium bone structure.In 2018 he decided to do something about it but he did not want gastric surgery.He was sent to a nutritionist by his doctor .he was told what are foods he should eat and what foods he needed to eliminate. Also he was told to start exercising.the doctor was surprised that my brother was not diabetic and more surprised that my brother did not have high blood pressure.He was told to get off Sweet and Low which he had been using in his coffee since he was 18 yrs old .He was told to switch to Stevia .Stevia comes from a plant in South America.He made a big decrease in eating bread and tortillas.Also cut back on carbs like rice ,potatoes ,noodles,cookies ,patriesand sodas. About a year or a year and a half later he was down to 214 lbs.He has maintained this weight for 4 yrs.He was taken off his CPAP machine which he used for sleep apnea.I am very proud of my brother for deciding to do something about his weight problem and doing it without getting gastric surgery.
  • @beccafitz22
    Because of Dr. PJ I feel like there is hope…a mustard seed even. I am 5’1” & 194 lbs. I am diabetic, hypertensive, take cholesterol meds, use a CPAP, overweight (fat around my midsection), take depression meds, & have a rare skin disease called Scleredema that’s most likely a secondary disease of diabetes & last but not least I’ve been diagnosed with Restrictive Lung disease because the Scleredema (which is a skin hardening disease) has caused my back skin to harden so much my lungs are restricted from inflating properly. Yet, I still eat badly & struggle to workout. I can only guess I hate myself but, love sugar!?!? It makes me so sad to write this but, maybe tomorrow I will read it & do better. Please pray with me I do better. Have a beautiful life kind people. Blessings from Texas.

    Unbelievable - I've had high blood pressure for 30 years. I was a marathon runner and triathlete for many of those. BMI crept up a little but even when it was at or below 25 I had high BP. Nothing showed up on any test. I have low hdl despite all the exercise I do. My insulin was only tested once in all these years. But, no-one, until now, has indicated that it may be processed foods. I am in the middle of changing my diet to a whole food plant based diet with intermittent fasting. Thank you so much Dr Jamnadas!!!!
  • I am a pilot with a heart pressure reading on my annual medical of 183/112. I feel fine, but my wings are now clipped. I must lower my heart rate and prove to the FAA that one meal a day works. However, I am now restarting the videos by Dr. Pradip. I began two days ago (same as my exam failure),and in those two, days I have already seen a lowering in my blood pressure to 161/98. I need to get myself back on track. The sad thing? I already had lost 90 lbs on my own through calorie counting and excercise. Begain body building and now I am up to 240 LBS. Never the less, with the knowledge I am getting here, I see my mistakes, I see where I didn't monitor what I am eating. So, I am going back and doing it right! I'll keep you all posted on my efforts.
