A Short Summary of a Very Low Carbohydrate Diet
Addressing High Blood Pressure using a Proven Method
That is a comprehensive systematic approach based on a very low-carbohydrate – less than 50g, (VLC) dietary method. With no refined sugar, no grains and no other high starch foods, like potatoes, which leads to very low carbohydrates, and adding fish like salmon & mackerel.
This is used by several leading doctors including Dr. Pradip Jamnades & Dr. Willian Davis (Author of Wheat Belly and Super Gut). This dietary regimen by naturally reducing carbohydrate intake to below 50g daily, achieving a metabolic state that profoundly impacts cardiovascular health and the gut.
Lowered Blood Pressure: Limiting carbs drastically reduces insulin levels. Lower insulin signals the kidneys to excrete excess sodium and water, which immediately decreases blood volume and pressure on arterial walls. This effect is a primary driver of blood pressure reduction.
Reduced Inflammation & Gut Repair: When the body enters nutritional ketosis, it produces β-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB). BHB is a potent anti-inflammatory molecule that reduces systemic inflammation and helps repair the intestinal barrier by strengthening tight junctions (reducing “leaky gut” and associated inflammation).
Collagen Support: Adding fatty fish like salmon and mackerel provides Omega-3s, which promote blood vessel relaxation (vasodilation), and amino acids to support the structural repair of arterial and gut tissues.
Sustained adherence can lead to significant blood pressure improvement, potentially allowing for the reduction or removal of medication, always under medical supervision.
I also recommend intermittent fasting, either 18/6 or OMAD (one meal a day), for one to 3 days every week, depending on the client’s needs. Autophagy is the body’s clean up method and it has great results.
This is the core of my program, with the deal I mentioned with the money back if the desired result is not achieved within 90 days. It really is that simple.
It is about adopting new habits because your body is currently working to cope with systemic inflammation, every day.
