So good to see a doctor who is slanted toward the prevention of illness in a natural, easy-to-manage way, rather than just prescribing meds. We need a million more like him.

Hydration is important, and my RN wife is always reminding me to drink water after getting up in the morning. Helps keep the heartbeat regular (and the wife happy).

[monalisanail]

Now this is a Doctor with good common sense and sees the importance of truly taking care of the patient.❤️

I am not obese, but I do not have a thyroid. I went into AFib from stress from an auto accident. I discovered 2 tbsp ACV to 8 ounces of water. Then I started taking self package pills of Cayenne pepper with food. It stops AFib within minutes. Lastly, The only thing I take now is L-Arginine 500 mg daily. I haven't had an AFib episode in years!! I am also a regular user of Calm magnesium. Hope this helps someone. No, not a Dr. but I read a lot!

He has given us a very precious bit of advice: 1- improvement of diet 2- improvement of exercise 3- betterment of sleep 4- reduction of weight

Every cardiologist should have a nutritionist on staff/ referral. Jeanne retired RN

Hydration is key in my case. So long as I don't get dehydrated, I don't seem to go into A-Fib.
I exercise and I'm very keen on good nutrition and sleep schedules.
Thanks for reinforcing my beliefs

I gave up all grains, all sugars, and all high carb fruits and vegetables. I walk 8, 000 steps per day. I fast 23 hours a day. I eat protein, a little fat and low carb vegetables. My hypertension is normal now with 1/4 the meds as before, my blood glucose is now completely normal with no meds, and I haven’t had an a-fib episode in months. I take sodium and potassium supplements. My weight: 200->134.

I'm 82 with afib, among other things.. In my case, there's absolutely no doubt that regular exercise keeps the afib at bay and makes life better in general. That said, it still requires constant diligence to maintain the active lifestyle. The best advice I ever heard on the topic is "When you take care of your animal, your animal takes care of you". That is so true, yet so hard to do.

I had afib, I am 60 years old. I increased my exercise and started taking magnesium and the afib is gone. He knows what he's talking about!

[richardhyser]

Stress....STRESS. I have AFIB and it started when we went upside down in a mortgage. Marital problems I could go on and on. Reduce stress.

[geoffb]

I am 82 had ad fib for well over 20 years. Went to the doctor who put me on Wafarin and am now on Xralto, if I remember to take it. I'm still alive, exercise every day and, apart from having one kidney, 2 stents, high blood pressure, I feel perfectly fit. Probably drop dead tomorrow but thems the breaks.

[gorainy]

Thank you for this supportive information.. I notice a huge difference … if I vegetarian and don't drink any alcohol, my arrhythmia is almost gone.

[thomasanderson]

Now Your on the same page as me . I dont want to take a pill for life . I want to change what I need to change in my life style.

[dauntiekay]

I had an afib attack 2 years ago and I figured that I need to lose weight and improve my diet and so I went on a plant based diet with no oil, sugar, meat, or flour and lost 100 pounds. I sleep better and I excerise daily and I am not taking any medications and I have not had any problems with my heart arythmia since and I am 70 years old.

[marcelacorrea]

Dr John Mandrola thank you very much I appreciate your opinion, so wise. Please continue doing videos, how I would like to have a doctor like you.

[andrewtyacke]

I got diagnosed with atrial fibrillation in 2012. Since then I was in hospital at least every six months because of it. In 2017 while in hospital for something else a nurse noticed that I kept my cell phone in a breast pocket and had done so since the advent of smart phones. She told me to stop because she thought it was the cause of the atrial fibrillation.

I listened to her and have never had a problem with it since.

[pattyl]

Dr. Mandrola took care of my mother in the early 2000's. He put a pacemaker in, and has an excellent reputation. Take his advice because he's a great Doc.

[paulheinz]

I have had AFIB for almost 4 years. I have been doing low carb for a little over a year and have lost 60 pounds. I limit drinking and exercise regularly. While I am in it most of the time I have almost no symptoms or discomfort. My condition seems to be getting better as time goes by so anecdotally speaking diet has worked to improve my life. Thanks for what you do Doctor

[samayahabdi]

We need more professionals like this gentleman.
