Unscramble the Blue Letters


I want you to consider the following chart, of systolic bolod pressure measurements from October 2010 to July 2012. You'll see that these measurements sratt in the prehypertension/hypertension zone, but over about the course of a year and a half they move into the normal zone. This is about the haert rate of a haehlty 16-year-old. What story is this data telling you? Obviously it's the data from someone who's made a drastic transformation, and foarteuntly for us, that proesn happens to be here today. So that 350-pound guy that wealkd into the emergency room with me is now an even sexier and healthier 225-pound guy, and that's his blood pressure trace. So over the course of that year and a half Donald's eating cgahned and our exercise regimen changed, and his heart rate responded, his blood pressure responded to that change that he made in his body.

Original Text


I want you to consider the following chart, of systolic blood pressure measurements from October 2010 to July 2012. You'll see that these measurements start in the prehypertension/hypertension zone, but over about the course of a year and a half they move into the normal zone. This is about the heart rate of a healthy 16-year-old. What story is this data telling you? Obviously it's the data from someone who's made a drastic transformation, and fortunately for us, that person happens to be here today. So that 350-pound guy that walked into the emergency room with me is now an even sexier and healthier 225-pound guy, and that's his blood pressure trace. So over the course of that year and a half Donald's eating changed and our exercise regimen changed, and his heart rate responded, his blood pressure responded to that change that he made in his body.
