How I Lowered My Blood Pressure Naturally as a Doctor

How I lowered my blood pressure naturally as a doctor

I am excited to share an update from a video I did last year on how to take your blood pressure at home. When I filmed that video I was met with a big surprise....and I mean big surprise. I was shocked to learn that my blood pressure was much higher than I anticipated.

As a doctor who promotes health and wellness, I knew I had to make some changes to my lifestyle to bring my blood pressure down. I had high blood pressure years ago due to a lot of stress, so I was really motivated to start a new journey to find ways to get my readings within a healthy range.

Watch the video now to see if I succeeded, as I check my blood pressure and share with you all what I did naturally and without medication. There is no shame in using medications to help with your blood pressure, but I do encourage all of you to try and make small changes in your lifestyle to promote healthy changes in your own blood pressure readings.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”. The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way.

I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.

Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and YouTube sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.
