I am excited to share this week's video, which continues my new year series of plant-based eating. Today we are going to talk about lowering your blood pressure with a plant-based diet. Did you know that over half of all adults in the United States have hypertension / high blood pressure? That is a shocking fact and why it is so important to make healthy changes to keep that blood pressure in check.
And no, eating a plant-based diet does not mean you have to become a vegetarian or vegan. Watch this video and learn about some easy changes you can make to your eating habits that can lead to some great health benefits.

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.

Question, there is lots of videos pushing Creatine For the elderly however most of us have high blood pressure. Can you have a video and a comment as to your opinion and video on creatine for people over 60 with high blood pressure

The DASH diet recommending low fat dairy and 'vegetable' oils is a joke - and a bad one at that. And, the new 'normal' for BP being lowered again - well, well... Anything to keep the Sick Care system going in the U.S. ...
