Today I want to share with you the number one cause of hypertension. Hypertension is classified into two different categories.
1. Primary or essential hypertension: About 95% of hypertension cases have an unknown cause. It could be related to a person’s lifestyle, but there is also data that points to having too much insulin (hyperinsulinemia) as being behind this issue. With too much insulin, a person will also have insulin resistance.
2. Secondary hypertension: Typically comes from kidney disease, a tumor, etc.
High insulin could potentially cause hypertension because high insulin stimulates the autonomic nervous system (primarily the sympathetic nervous system). This situation could raise a person’s blood pressure and also cause the arteries to become very stiff. This could lead to hypertension.
A few causes of hypertension 1. Hyperinsulinemia 2. Low potassium 3. Low vitamin D 4. Low magnesium 5. Low vitamin K2
Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting could potentially help a person with hyperinsulinemia and also help support a healthy lifestyle. Intermittent fasting may have a greater impact on lowering insulin, but the combination of Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting seems to work best.

0.24 -> let's talk about the number one cause
of hypertension now hypertension is
5.36 -> classified in two different categories
one is primary or essential hypertension
11.6 -> and then you have secondary hypertension
which mainly comes from a kidney disease
15.36 -> or maybe a tumor etc but the vast majority 95%
of hypertension is called essential or primary
23.76 -> which basically means unknown cause now that
can be related to lifestyle salt smoking alcohol
33.04 -> etc etc but if you dive into research on this
which i'm going to put some links down below
39.2 -> there's a lot of data that points to having too
much insulin as in hyperinsulinemia now with
47.04 -> a hyper insulin state too much insulin you're
always going to have insulin resistance as well
54.32 -> so the fact that you have insulin resistance
will cause the pancreas to make more insulin
59.28 -> and having more insulin will then
cause those receptors to downgrade
64.48 -> and cause insulin resistance so they both feed
on each other now one of the mechanisms of why
70.4 -> high insulin will do this is that when you have
high insulin it stimulates the autonomic nervous
75.44 -> system primarily the sympathetic nervous system
which which has one effect of raising the blood
82 -> pressure the other thing that high amounts
of insulin will do it it'll make the arteries
86 -> very very stiff causing hypertension and of course
the best thing to do which is rarely ever done is
92.48 -> to do a test to see if you have insulin resistance
and high insulin levels while you're fasting
98.64 -> this is the test that should be done homa ir if
you had hypertension and you did this test chances
106.4 -> are you would find that you do have insulin
resistance and high insulin which by the way is
111.52 -> behind type 2 diabetes it is the thing that brews
in the oven for many many years until you develop
117.52 -> pre-diabetes and then actual type 2 diabetes
so this is number one and by the way this is
125.44 -> also behind the metabolic syndrome where you have
high blood pressure high glucose high cholesterol
133.52 -> belly fat now there are several other reasons
why someone's blood pressure might go up as well
138.8 -> low potassium but here's the thing if you have
too much insulin and insulin resistance you're
146.72 -> going to end up with low potassium because because
you need normal functioning insulin to be able to
152.64 -> absorb potassium and the other reason why this is
a common cause is because we need so much of it
161.2 -> dietarily we need 4700 milligrams every single
day instead they're really heavy on the sodium
168.16 -> and very light on the potassium but for a lot of
people they'll just increase their potassium level
173.44 -> they'll supplement it and all of a sudden their
blood pressure comes down so this is a really
178.72 -> common cause too that can be aggravated by this
right here all right number three low vitamin d
187.6 -> levels vitamin d has a very powerful effect over
blood pressure and the vast majority is vitamin d
194.32 -> deficient and a good percentage of them have high
blood pressure will show there's a correlation
200 -> but there's been a lot of studies and i'm going
to put some down below that show that when you
204.48 -> take vitamin d your blood pressure comes down and
i would recommend if you have hypertension to take
211.44 -> at least 20000 IUs maybe even more to help you
with your blood pressure and sometimes it takes
219.76 -> a couple days before you see the results
but you can test yourself before and after
224.88 -> number four low magnesium magnesium is
an electrolyte it works with potassium
231.04 -> you also need vitamin d to help you absorb
magnesium and also magnesium helps you absorb
236.56 -> vitamin d and it just so happens that magnesium
is in the same foods that you would eat with
241.76 -> potassium but magnesium is a relaxer of your blood
vessels and if you don't have enough magnesium
248.32 -> things tend to stay stiff and your pressure will
go up number five low vitamin k2 which you need
256.4 -> with vitamin d3 they work together vitamin k2
helps to keep the calcium out of the arteries
264.4 -> where it should not be and so if you are
deficient in vitamin k2 you could potentially
270.64 -> build up more calcium in the arteries and that
can make things very very stiff and this comes
276.48 -> from fatty foods so if you're in a low-fat
diet you're going to be deficient in vitamin
281.12 -> k2 also if you're on a statin drug which blocks
cholesterol that can inhibit this as well as well
288.24 -> as this right here and also statin drugs increase
your risk of getting this right here so if you're
295.2 -> new to my channel and you're not familiar
with healthy keto and intermittent fasting
300.72 -> i put a link down below for more information
to help you with this right here but what it
306.32 -> can do is help you support a healthy lifestyle
as well as to help you support healthy insulin
312.08 -> levels because you're reducing carbohydrates
and if i were to look at the ketogenic diet
318.64 -> and intimate fasting on what would be a
greater impact on helping you lower insulin
327.2 -> i would go with intermittent fasting but the
combination works even better and one last point
334.8 -> this information is not meant to replace your
medical care don't stop taking medication
340.4 -> unless you check with your doctor first before
you go if you have a question about a product
346.4 -> or you're new to keto and you want to know
how to begin keto or you're on keto and you
352.24 -> need a debug because it's not going as smooth i
have a keto consultant standing by to help you
358.56 -> this is just for the people in the us hopefully in
the future we'll be able to answer everyone's call
363.44 -> but i put the number down below
so you can call and get some help
