0:58 Here's your host, Doctor Eldred Taylors. Hello, Good morning is Wednesday morning. I'm doctor Taylor. I am the Harmone Doctor and the Spiritual MD, and today we're going to talk about something that it was surprising to me, but then it wasn't surprising. We're going to talk about some of the stressors that you are dealing with that you don't even know about now. I think in my original explanation. I said that we're going to talk about ten things, but I want you to really get what I'm saying to you, because you know, I keep saying, you know that I always get these stress tests.

1:40 Are these quartos all tests, and almost all of them are abnormal. They're almost all of them are showing that they are under chronic stress. And so I started asking, how could everybody be under stress? And so I kept answering that question, and then I'm like, this stress that you are under, you don't even realize it, and you are contributing to your stress and you don't even realize it. Because there's evolutionary stress. There's things that we were we were made to do that we are not doing and that we have done for thousands and maybe even millions of years. And in the last two three hundred years, we have totally changed how we live. And evolution it doesn't move that fast. And so I told you that the key to longevity is being able to adapt to your environment. And when you can't adapt to your environment or when you have troubling, are you maladapting to your environment.

2:35 That's what we see as symptoms, Symptoms like hormone problem, like weight gain that we can't explain. All of these things are due to stresses that we're not even aware of. So that's what we're going to we're going to talk about today, is because once you become aware of where your stress is coming from, that is when you can change what the outcome is. We always said to my four point thing is you have to identify and try to get rid of the stress. So we're going to identify and try and help you get rid of some of the stressors that you don't even know about. There are happenings to you, and it's not an emotional stress. So let's go to the Slats and the rebel. We just before for our pre show, she was she's about to do the saliva test and she was like, you know, I don't feel bad, but I have, you know, some things that are going on in my body that I can't really control, and I'm trying to figure out why.

3:34 So let's talk about it, all right. So, evolutionary stress the hidden stress you don't feel and you don't recognize. I'll say you feel it because you're feeling it in the symptoms. You're having, the inability to sleep, you're feeling it. You just don't know exactly where it's coming from. And so I'm going to show you this new source of stress that most people don't realize. And to be honest with you, I didn't realize it. But I always talk about you need to go upstream, you know, just don't talk about that. That's want to talk about cortisol because that's driving it, all right? Well, what is driving the cortisol that we don't even know about? That's the question, all right. See, you think you're not under stress, but your body completely disagrees with that assumption because your body is meant to do certain things. So you have to look at it like this, your internal your digestion, your sleep, weight cycle. It does not know exactly what to do.

4:33 It is looking for signals from the outside. It's looking for signals. Okay, when do I wake up, When do I go to sleep? When is it time to eat? When it is is it time to walk around? When is it time to work? It has to have signals so it can prepare your body for what you're about to do. So if you don't provide the signals, your body is confused. And when your body is confused, that's stress. Okay, So you think you're not under stress, but your body completely disagrees because it's used to getting signals that it was getting for four million years or thousands of years, whatever you want to say. It was used to getting certain signals, and when you take away those signals, it is confused. And that hormone confusion that I keep talking about and I want to end hormone confusion. This is another one of those confusions. It confuses the hormones when you don't get the proper signals, right, So we need to look at what signals we're given our body, all right.

5:33 So see we're not talking about emotional stress. When I ask people, are you under stressed? And initially said, I don't know. My life is fine. You know, my kids are fine, this is fine, But I don't know why I can't sleep. I don't know why I have this anxiety. I don't know why I'm gaining weight. I don't know why my hormone seemed to go out of balance. I don't know. See, it's not an emotional stress, is a biological stress that you may not even realize because you're living in an environment that we were not made for. Right, So this is what we're talking about you were built for one environment and you're living in another. So for thousands of years we lived outside. We live in an environment that did not have artificial light, it did not have it. It's just we're in a totally different environment. Okay.

6:23 And this environment has happened over the last one hundred and two hundred years, and you have to think there's always been these changing environments. I mean, so you understand this when we go to places like Africa or whatever, is that there are people who are who are living differently from us and they have different they have different or they have less problems, or they have different problems, okay, because their environment is one that they were built for. But here's what happens. So you know, we learned that, Hey, when agriculture came in, it changed the environment and it changed the way peopleeople live. We talked about the dinosaurs. The environment changed and they weren't able to adapt. So that's what happened. So what we have to do is that if we want to continue to survive, we have to learn what our environment is asking for, what kind of signals is it looking for, and making sure we give the body those signals. All right, So when your environment is off, your body really tries to adapt. But that adaptation is what you call symptoms. Okay, because you're trying to you're trying to get your body to do something that is not designed to do, and that creates stress in the body. And so now that's the upstream that's causing the cortisol to disrupt everything because it takes energy to adapt. So it sucks your energy just trying to adapt to what you're going through a day by day.

7:51 So now when you add on work and family, and I talked about the biology of higher performance, and when I was doing and that podcast, people is talking about, well what if you're not a high performer and you still feel like that, Well, that's what I'm talking about. You have this baseline environmental adaptation stress that you're trying to adapt to, and then when you put on all these other things, that just takes your system down so much more quickly. So at least if there's some behaviors that you could eliminate, or some behaviors that you that you could add to, at least get rid of that baseline unaware stress that we're dealing with. Then at least, now that you're working or you're dealing with kids or whatever, dealing with your finances, and this is tax day, so this is just another stress. But hey, look, if we could eliminate some of those daily, twenty four hour stressors that we're putting our body through, then maybe we could handle these other stresses just a little bit better. And maybe I could stop seeing so many of these abnormal cortisoccurs, and maybe two things maybe you could recover better. Because the second thing we talk about stress is that you have to change how you respond to the stress. So first we have to be aware of the stress. Then we're going to change how you respond to the stress.

9:17 And then when you do that, that will help repair the damage caused by the stress. And then it will also allow you to be able to handle future stress because you've eliminated some of that baseline stress that you're dealing with every day. So does that makes sense? The one we get into it because there's really only three things, Rebel's three things that we could change, and it really encompasses all of the ten and I may get into some of those other ones, but I want to really drive home three things that you could do that could eliminate a lot of this baseline stress. So are you ready, rebel? I am so ready to find this out. All right. So here's one thing. Try not to make big decisions when you first wake up. Okay. Your brain is not fully online when you wake up, but you're living like it is. So let me tell you two problems with that. Is that one when you first when your brain first wakes up, it is trying to figure out are you safe or not? That's the one thing because it's think if you were living outside and again, being in Africa has taught me a lot. If you are being if you are outside and you s left all night, the first thing you want to know that did I wake up? And is it safe? Okay? And so what will happen is your brain starts to think about all of the things that happened the day before.

10:42 You'll start looking at what you need to do and what do I need to do to make sure I'm safe? All that stuff. That's the first thing. That stuff, what we call your reptilian brain, is kind of your subconscious brain. It's always trying to make sure you're safe. So you wake up and it takes about twenty or thirty minutes before your body feels like it's on, it's safe, and then you can still go and start making decisions. All right. So that's why they say wake up and think about something you're grateful for, because your brain is going to tell you all of the things that are wrong. It's going to look and scan everything and try and make sure you're safe. And if you don't understand that, you'll start to go down this road and you hope, did I forget this or other? And then you'll go and try and do. Something I even caught myself today is that when I first woke up, I was doing these slats and I was like, h should I change this?

11:31 Should I change that? And then I stopped. I was like, wait a minute, let me go get my water, let me go do this. And then I came back and I said, ah, these slides are fine. Okay, So you don't want to make you don't want to react first thing in the morning. You need to give yourself time to wake up and let your let your thinking part of the brain actually look at the situation and it can actually evaluate it and not just react. But what do we do. We wake up with an alarm, so that's already startling. So you're already in a fight or flight. So that's like waking up and having a lion roar in front of you. So you're like, automatically, I'm not safe, all right, So what do you do? You go and try and see what happened, what happened during the night.

12:12 So you go and look at your notifications. Look, and so you're doing it, but you're doing it all wrong. You're not giving yourself time to settle yourself down. So you go and see an alarming email, and now your whole day is shot. Now you're in the stress mode. Now we set your whole day. You're in the fight or flight just because you didn't allow your brain to wake up. Okay, So that's why you don't need to wake up and run out of the house and do this and do that. You've got to give yourself timed to get fully online. So just if you can, just man, I know you've heard this, but I wanted to try and bring the physiology into it and the way that it can set your system up and you're not even realizing it. And so again, I know you may have heard some of this, and that's why I said, I want you to see that this is the problem. You always your body is always trying to make sure it is safe, and so if anything disrupts that, it's going to send you into fight or flight. All right, So if you wake up, how do you wake up, rebel?

13:20 I wake up by get up, bay, go brush my teeth and get myself ready in the morning. So you don't look at you. You don't look at any of that. I don't even touch my phone until, to be honest, until I'm at the studio. I pick it up to leave out of the house. But I don't look at the phone. It's not a top priority for me. Yeah, and so you know, I had to get over that. I you know, I have two I get up and I've you know, I try to follow this, but I have to either turn my phone off or turn it down. And I hate that I have this watch on and it beeps me for the notifications. I'm gonna have to get rid of all of my notification just because I don't know. Somehow psychologically they have it where you have to look. You know, that little alarm just makes you look so but that is all that is all disrupting to our ability to be safe, because every time we get that notification, we're like, oh, what is it? Oh what is it? And even if it's good news, that that initial little stress that is disrupting your body's feeling of safety. And so now whenever your body does not feel safe, then a lot of the internal systems, the immune system, the digestive system, it all turns off, and so you can have digestive issues and you don't know what's feeding it, but it maybe your morning routine is feeding your leaky gut is feeding all of these symptoms.

14:46 That's what I'm saying is that this maladaptation is a lot of the symptoms that we are dealing with and we just don't realize where they're coming from. All right, Now, here's the other issue is that people have so much trouble sleeping. Is that part of it is that we are not getting any morning natural light. Your body looks at the signal from the sun to tell it when to wake up and when to fully wake up and when to go to sleep. It has a circadian rhythm. Okay, it needs a signal from the outside to know when to wake up, and it needs a signal from the outside to know when to go to sleep. In the morning light really even going outside and getting the sunlight, because I think the next slide talks about how sunlight is like a thousand times more radiant, are more powerful than indoor light. I have a lot of indoor light on me now because I'm trying to do this podcast.

15:46 But I go outside in the morning. I went outside and actually did some videos this morning, because we are built to go outside, all right, And so I won't tell you another thing about waking up. This is an interesting thing that I learned. Another way your body knows it's safe in the morning is by hearing the birds chirp. Okay, now, let me tell you this is interesting as heck you guys all right, is that the frequency of sound from a bird is magnified in your ear. So that's why when you go outside, the birds seem loud, but they're not. It's just the frequency it's magnified. It's magnified like five or ten times. So you hear the birds chirping, and it tells your subconscious that things are safe. You know why, because birds, if they see a predator, they will stop chirping.

16:36 So that was a signal to the body. If they didn't hear birds, they were not safe. So in the morning, I've started to go on YouTube and put bird chirping sounds because it tells my body I'm safe. So are there any birds chirping around your house? Rep? Rebel? Actually yes they do. They have I call them little road runners. They like running front of a Yeah, they chirp in the morning, and you can tell when the leaves start turning back green. They come back and it's like, oh yeah, yeah. But that is actually a signal that over thousands and maybe millions of years people use. Are your subconscious used as a signals to say everything is safe? And that's the beauty of nature. And that's another thing you learn when you get out of nature is that nature will give you signals. That's how the animals know when a storm is coming and they and they change. They get signals that we don't get. And if you study nature, it gives you signals. Your body is looking for signals and we don't have those signals because most of those signals are outside and we spend a majority of our lives sitting inside. This is why people get spring fever.

17:54 They want to go outside. This is where they feel alive. And we're going to talk about that. See, indoor light is not enough. Your body never gets the signal. You have to go outside. Why do you love going to the beach? Why do you feel alive? Like I said spring fever. You get energy from the sun, the same sun that's giving plants energy and these trees energy. That's the same energy that we need. Our body is built to be out in the sun. That's why your body needs the sun to make vitamin D. Their body is meant to get signals, to get energy, to get substances from the outside. We have to get out of this indoor light and get outside and have to be connected to nature. This is how we have survived, is about being connected, getting signals from from the outside so that our inside knows what to do. Right. Your body was built to move all day and we sit all day.

19:04 If you look at the physics of our body, we are a walking machine. We can walk for long distances. And here's the evolutionary part of this. Remember we used to be hunters and galleys, and the way we were able to hunt is that most animals they have this fast titch switch, fast twitch muscles, and they get ext they can run real fast, but they get an exhausted real quickly because they can't cool themselves. So anyway, to make a long story short, we can walk for long distances and that is how we were able to do because we could just keep walking the animals or we get tired and then you could go and hunt them. All right, So we were built to move all day.

19:45 Movement not only just gets you from one place to another. Movement gives the body signals, okay, it actually grows the brain. So as you move and you see different things, you are walking on different terrains, you feel the wind, you feel the temperature, your brain has to calculate all of that and it has to figure out how do I warm yourself, So that actually builds your brain. When you are when you are under in the same environment all the time, your brain just kind of goes to sleep. And so you were built to move. You were built to be outside. You were built. You were not built to sit all day. There is actually a study that says if you're sitting for more than forty five minutes, it is more cardiovascular damaging than smoking. Okay, because when you're sitting, what happens is blood and all these toxins and everything. They accumulate down in your ankles and your feet.

20:51 That's why you get blood clots if you sit too long, because everything is stagnant. Okay, So all of the things that your body should be getting rid of, of the blood circulating and all these things, it becomes stagnant, so you become reabsorbed. But you look at people who sit all day their legs well, and after a while it starts to be discolored in their ankles because they have so much stagnation there. Because we were built to move, I say, once you become immobile, that is the beginning of your declient because all types of benefits you get from just walking and not sitting. So, Rebel, you were talking about, you come in, you're inside, you are sitting all day. We've got to change that, all right, Rebel, We've got the every forty five minutes, you need to have an alarm and you just need to stand up and walk around. You can still work even while you're doing this podcast. Forty five minutes. We need to stand up, okay, because we so at forty five minutes, I want you to do it. We need to stand up, okay, because that is and this is another thing. If you go to the gym and work out for an hour, and then you go and sit all day. You've just eliminated everything you did in the gym. Okay, that's how that's how we have now adapted. We think going to the gym for for you know, two hours is going to uh continue to make us healthy or decrease our stress. No, not sitting all day is the way to do it.

22:17 And what do we do. I mean, we sit in front of these screens and we and you know we're electronics. Right, electronics exactly, and we have and there's there's a study that says the further you get away from your natural habitat, the sicker you're going to get. Okay, So you just think about the people who live in the urban cities, they're going to have more issues than people live out in nature and the open land. Okay. So that is the thing. We have to get back to what we were designed to do. And I'm just I'm not saying you get rid of all the technology and stuff. You need to know what this is doing to you and you need to be able to change your view about what I'll tell you another thing, us sitting so close to a screen, the problem is is that it strains our eyes that we have to be able to focus like that. We were built to look out at the horizon. That's when your eyes can rest when you're looking off at a distance. And we spend our days but two feet from a screen and we're looking at it all the time, and it strains our eyes because it has to contract to do that. If you go out and look at the sky at night, that is let your eyes relax. And when your eyes relax, here's another thing. When you go outside and you see the beauty of nature, what that does. That novelty makes you feel alive. And when we went to Africa and saw things we've never seen before, that is what makes

23:51 you feel alive. The novelty and going outside. Nothing outside stays the same. The trees don't stay the same. Go out in my garden, and the plants they are never the same. They've they're either growing or they're dying. And we need to understand everything changes and we have to understand how to adapt to that change. All right, So your body was not built to move all day. Go outside, go outside, walk around, you know, stand up. If you can't go outside, you can you can say you need a bathroom break every forty five minutes, and you only need about four or five minutes of standing up to eliminate forty five minutes of sitting down. All right, so let's see what the next one movement is not exercise, It is input to your brain and to your body.

24:42 You're exactly right. So here's here's why you want to go outside. Just think about when you walk on a sandy beach, it is uneven. You know what. We are not meant to walk on flat surfaces. We are meant to walk on uneven surfaces. You know why because it tells the brain. It makes the brain work. It makes the brain have to coordinate to keep your balance. You have to be able to know where your feet are. One of the reasons why we took a ballroom dancing is because knowing where your feet are without looking at it is something that you lose as you get older. That's why you see a lot of these older people taking ballroom dancing because it actually makes the brain work.

25:22 Because if you don't make the brain work, it starts to fall asleep and you start to fall into patterns that are in your subconscious brain. And so you do the same thing over and over and over again. The more you're exposed to novelty, the more alive you feel, and the more your body has to work to try to adapt. Because you stay in one environment, but you live and actually exist in another environment, your body never gets a chance to adapt to that. And so you go outside and you do it. I never understood why people wanted to hike. I never understood it, But now I understand. Is that one you're walking on uneven surfaces, you're outside, you're in the sun. Let me tell you something else. When we were in afternoon, we tracked the gorillas and we climbed up ten thousand feet. That took us four hours. And I told you I will never do it again. But I am so glad I did it because we never felt more alive. And the other thing, going outside, this is so exactly me going outside and being under a tree. Under the trees, they emit a chemical that actually boosts your immune system. It's just amazing how nature and us because we are a part of nature.

26:46 You got okay, So nature and we and nature have a symbiotic relationship. And when we disassociate ourselves from nature, it causes stress, It causes stress. We are so far away from nature. And I'm telling you is that when we went after it was so amazing. We would when we would wake up, you would see hundreds of people walking. They're just steady walking, okay, walking to their jobs, walking to their markets, walking, walking, walking. And you know what, it starts at sun up and then it finishes at sundown. So they, I mean, they work with the nature. They don't have a lot of artificial likes. So when the sun goes down, hey, things are over. If you don't go in the neighborhoods, hey, it's things are over at night.

27:36 So you have to understand is that being outside, seeing the novelty of nature, walking on uneven surfaces, seeing how everything changes, how the horizon changes, how the sky changes. All of those things keep you from going into the default network, where if you are not focused on something like that, you begin to go into the self rumination. You start to second guess yourself. You start to think about all the things you haven't done, You start to think, you start to regret all the things you used to do. You start to be worried about the things that might happen. But you go outside and you let the wind hit your face, and you let the sun hit your face, and you go out and you look at the You can't do all of those things where you're self sabotaging yourself or yourself you know, you're beating yourself up because you're so you're so connected to nature, you're so you're feeling the back and forth. Your brain is working, everything's working, so you can't fall into those rumination patterns that you're used to doing. All right. So that's what we're talking about, is how you can be unaware of your stress, so I know where it's time for a break. And remember everybody, if you've been sitting for forty five minutes, at forty five minutes to, we're going to stand up and walk around and we're going to do something. Because this is how you change your stress response is by getting rid of some of these unknown stresses that you're doing. All right, and this is springtime, it's time for you to go outside.

29:07 After this, I want you to go outside and get some vitamin D, walk around. Also, take your shoes off, because here's here's the deal. You're supposed your body needs to your feet need to feel the ground, okay, and when you're wearing rubber shoes. You need to feel the ground. You actually get energy from the ground. It's a whole. It's called grounding. Some of you guys may have heard this, and so this is not fluff. We're talking about an ageless blueprint. These are the blueprints that we need to rediscover and we need to start following some of these blueprints. All right, all right, so let's stop and let's go and break.

29:47 We are going to a quick break, So stay with us as we explore the Agelens blueprint right here on W FOURHC Radio and Talk for TV.

Once again, let's join doctor Taylor for more insights and research on the ancient secret to better health and a better life in modern times. Here's your host, doctor Aldred Taylor.

30:58 All Right, a tailor, and we're back, and we're talking about some of the stresses that you may not know about but are easily correctable. They don't cost to dam You don't have to spend two three four thousand dollars doing this. You don't have to You don't have to do any of that, all right. All you need to do is to understand how your body works and the environment that we're in and the environment that we're designed for, and then try and see if we can't incorporate the two. All right, So do we have any questions or rebel. Yes, let's see. Okay, First one, how do we know what signals to send to the body? And when do we send these signals?

31:39 So we have to send it? You know what this is? This is a going to be a series and this is this is something that I want to even have like as a little course, is how can we change the signals that our body is getting. Let me just let me tell you one thing for one, signal one is when and how you eat. Okay, so the signal the body is ready for carbohydrates in the morning. So if you eat carbohydrates in the morning, your body is going to metabolize those better. So that's when it's looking for it. So it needs a signal. That's the signal. All right, it's time to eat. You're getting ready for work, so let's get some carbsing, so it's going to use those more for energy and not use them as much for fact. All right. So let's say another thing. If you eat more slowly to your food thirty times, why do you do that? Why did your grandmother tell you that? Well, there is an inzine in your mouth. That that's the that's the only way you can really get digestion started.

32:42 And once you swallow too quickly, that digestive enzyme gets eaten up by the stomach and so you get this incomplete digestion in your stomach. And so now that leads to the bloating and all those things. So that's what we're talking about. Signals. It needs a signal on how you're eating, when you're eating, so now your body is prepared for what it's supposed to do. So you talking about that. Let you know, I told you there's ten signals and we're just only talking about three. So here's what I'll do, is that I was planning on doing this in like two or three sections, because you're right, it's hard to grasp all of this at one time. So the first signal is wait before you make a decision.

33:24 Let your brain get online, all right, and then that's going to help you to make decisions about what to eat or whatever. The next thing is trying to go outside, all right, Just go outside and breathe from outside there. Don't just get this circulate there, listen to the birds so that your body will know that it's safe. Just take those two signals, okay, And let me tell you. I wake up. I wake up before the sun gets up. I wake up at four o'clock usually, but I have a sun lamp right here, and so I turn that on. And that's not like going outside, but it's better than nothing, all right. So another question, that's next question. What does stress look like to most people? Well, it looks that it looks like insomnia, it looks like anxiety, it looks like weight gain, it looks like hormone problems. See, this is what I'm talking about going upstream.

34:15 All of these problems that I'm talking about with hormones, anxiety, boot swings, annovulation, infertility, all of those symptoms are really from stress. And that's what I've been talking about, the stress connection. But now what I'm talking about is how do we disconnect from the stress. Okay, and we've got to change how we live. Okay, So what does stress look like in those symptoms that we're talking about. Okay, that's what stress is looking like because we're not adapting to it, or we're trying to adapt to it. But it takes time for that adaptation. And that's why I'm saying, if you can go and try and get back in your natural environment, try and break that cycle every once in a while, that's going to help you with those those symptoms. My daughter is is sick. I told her, you need to go outside. You all to go outside to breathe that air. You get into vitamin D, it's going to make you better. We've got to get out of these and we know in our homes we're circulating toxic air coming from our carpets. It is coming from those events you need to get outside and get some fresh air. All right.

35:20 So another question, it's stressed different for different people. Yeah, you know, I always say it's how you respond to the stress. Okay, is different people respond to stress. I'll give you an example. Okay, I hate roller coasters. They stress me out. I don't like that feeling. Okay. Now, my kids they love it. Okay, they love that feeling, so yes, to me, it is stressful for them. It's exciting. It's a novelty. I get the novelty by going and traveling all that. That's my novelty. Are going outside right now? You know, I'm really into My wife is really into putting flowers in the backyard and all that. That's a novelty.

36:01 My yard looks different every day, all right. So, yes, stress is different for different people, and you relieve stress differently for different people. But these underlying stresses about not getting outside and sitting, those are really universal. Okay. So those are universal, now, And what's the problem is universally most people don't realize it. That's the real problem. So that's what I'm trying to do, is to make you aware of it, all right. So let me get through these and then I know at forty five minutes, you know, you know the signal, right, rebel, yes, so And you know, as we get older, everybody's worried about your brain, but we're not giving it what it needs. And that's what I'm talking about, those signals. You got to make your brain work. That's why you know we talked about you need to play chess, you need to learn something different, but going outside your body is seeing something different every day.

36:52 So that's what we're talking about, is that if you want your brain to work, you have to make it work. You have to make it work consistently. And when you are just following subconscious program patterns, your brain does not have to work. Okay. That's how you keep something. You know, if it doesn't work, it atrophies, okay, and it actually if you don't walk and through some of these things, stress actually shrinks your brain physically. You'll see people with Alzheimer's and dementia, dementia, their brain is smaller. Okay, So what you want to do is you kind to keep it working. It's just like any other muscle. If you don't use your legs, they will atrophy. If you don't lose your use your arms, they will atrophy. You've got to make your brain work both emotionally and intellectually, but also physically. So every so these movements, they are supporting your brain health. So don't just think of it as exercise.

37:47 I'm trying to build muscle. No, you're trying to build your whole body to be able to understand and adapt the environment that they're in. Okay, all right, so we've got three big ones. Okay, the wake up mismatch. Don't let your brain react to something before it's fully online, all right, So don't immediately answer that email. Don't even look at it. If you do look at it. I want you to catch yourself, just like I caught myself this morning wanting wanting to change the slides around, and I said, wait a minute, wait a minute, okay, let me go get my water, let me go do whatever I need to do, let me come back, and all of a sudden, the slides were finn And that's what I'm talking about. When you wake up and you start to ruminate and all these things, you have to wait, okay, because just think you get up and worried about a lot of things, and you know what, by the end of the day. Somehow, some way they all worked out.

38:43 So you need to realize in the morning that those things that are coming up and seem so difficult and so pressing and so anxiety provoking. Just think you got through yesterday. You probably were thinking those other those same things yesterday and you got through it. Okay, So just let your brain get online before you start to worry about things. All right, light mismatch if you want to. If you're dealing with insomnia, you know what. It starts in the morning, so your body needs to get that signal to wake up, and then it knows what time it is to go to sleep, and then it's the movement mismatch. Okay, we have stopped. We have got to stop sitting all day. Okay, we've got what four more minutes before everybody's going to stand up. And if you've been if this is two weeks from now and you're sitting here or you're in your car listening to this, I don't want you to stand up while you're in your car, but hey, once you get out of that car, I want you to get up and walk around for five minutes. Okay, we think that it's just on long trips. Okay, it's I'm going, you know, to Europe. I need to.

39:44 Then we worry about it then, But just think about how you're sitting every single day. It doesn't matter that you wear your compression stocks socks on a seven hour trip to Europe. What matters is what you're doing every single day. That's that constant stress. I see. And those quarters are curved, right, so we have got to start moving. See. You don't feel stressed until your body can't adapt anymore. See, so if you have a symptom, that means that your body has been stressed for a while, and that's what those quarters are curge, so they show chronic stress. All right, So you don't feel stressed until your body can't adapt anymore. And everybody's surprised that their cortas all is low and not happen. All right, But the problem is you have been under stress for so long you have fatigued your adrenal gland. So now your quarter's all is low. So here's what happens now. Things that weren't stressful are stressful because your stress response has been so beat down and so used up. You can't respond to those additional stressors because those everyday stressors are already too much for you to handle. So now, and that's what happened to me when I was doing OBE. At first, I could get up in the middle of the night and do all of these things. But then you can't do that forever.

41:04 You can't do it forever. And that's the issue. I couldn't do it. I had beaten my system down so much. Now the things that used to come easy to me didn't. That's what we were talking about the physiology of high performance. But everyone is a high performer, everyone in this in the US, in my environment, everyone is a high performer because you have to have high performance, high performance just to be able to deal with these biological stressors that we have put ourselves into. All right. So you are not stressed emotionally or you may be a stress You may be stressed emotionally, you are stressed biologically. And that's what I want you to understand, is that how can we get rid of these underlying stressors that we're dealing with?

41:53 All right? So first you have to be aware, and that's one of the reasons why we have this heart rate variability APT, so that you can see those stressors because every time you are under stress or sympathetic nervous system is increased and your pair of sympathetic nervous system is suppressed. So remember fight or flight, our rest and digest. Your body is looking for signals when can I rest and digest? And if you don't give it those signals, it's going to stay in fight or flight, all right, So that is the that's the issue. So that is where the harmone confusion starts. So I keep wanting to go upstream, and that's the upstream part of this is this environmental mismatch, all right. So I don't know what happened here. Your body is not broken. It's responding to the wrong environment, right, is that your body is responding to the wrong environment because our environment that we have created for ourselves, it's very easy, it's very comfortable. We have everything. We have AI doing everything for us. Now, that is not what we have been built for. Now if AI allows us to go outside, because this is what it's doing for me, and this is what I'm learning about artificial and intelligence. If you can get it to do some of the work that you'd be sitting down to do and you can go outside, that's how you use ai. All right, hey, it's forty five isn't it forty five minutes? Because I know the timer says

43:25 forty five minutes? Should we standing close enough? Okay? Well, I know I've been seeing for forty five minutes because I sat down before we started. So I'm going to stand up. See if I can steal yeah. Okay, So I'm standing up now, you guys, I like to practice what I preach, So let me turn my lights on so it shows me a little bit better. All right, all right, so hey, I tried to practice what I preached. Okay, so I'm standing up. It's been forty five minutes. I'm gonna move my legs around a little bit, make sure because you know, I'll tell you one thing. Your calf muscle is like your second heart, that half muscle right there. That's how your body gets gets blood back up to your heart. And that's why sitting down is a problem.

44:07 So you need to walk around so that your calf muscle contracts and that's what gets the blood back up to your heart. All right, So I told you your body is built for movement. It is. It is depending upon movement in order to function correctly. Right, So that's the importance of it. And so I don't need you to understand the physiology of it. I just need you to do it. And if you do it, you know the physiology will work. Okay. So you don't need to understand it, you don't need to remember it. You just need to do it. Okay, wake up, give yourself some time, have a morning routine. I listen to some music, I move my body, I meditate. I do all of that before I make any decisions. Okay, So that's one thing.

44:51 Give yourself time to wake up. If it's a if it's possible, go outside as early as possible. Get some sunlight, and if you can stay out there, stay out there for a while and just notice nature. Just take a minute and actually look at your environment. Okay, just look at it, and that will calm you down. That'll get you to stop having these recurring thoughts. People talk talk about intrusive thoughts. When you are outside, it takes away those intrusive thoughts. So that's why you go outside. That's why you look at the horizon, that's why you look up at the stars. All right, that's what you want to do. So this is all about ending hormone confusion is that you need to understand where this confusion is coming from. It's coming from our environment. It's coming from the fact that we don't test hormones correctly. I'm going to sit down for a minute for this. It comes from all of that. I remember, I told you us two issues. We're testing hormones incorrectly, and we're looking at the wrong hormones. We're worried about estrogen and testosterol, and nobody's talking our quarters off. And that's what we're talking about.

46:03 That's what that is. My mission is to end this confusion. Let us not just wonder. You know, in case, where is this weight game coming from. Well, I'm going to tell you it's more than likely from these hidden stressors. And when we do her test, we're going to get to see it. And that makes you more aware, and then that gives you more of a of a catalyst to actually try to change it, because once you see it, like, oh, I didn't know it was really doing that to me. That's the cause of that symptom is some of the things that I'm doing every day. So again, I know you can't change your whole life in a day or after listening to one podcast. But I think this is something that everybody needs to understand. Once you understand it, that's when you can change it. All right, So we're having more questions. We got about two minutes and then I'm gonna go stand up outside for a little while again, So we have.

46:58 Any questions, Yes, next question, where do we leave off? What things can be done to ready the mind so we won't continue to wake continue the wake stress. Okay, this is I'll tell you what I do. I get up, you like, go to the bathroom. I listen to Lovely Day by by Bill Withers, and I do a little exercise where I move every joint that gets me started. I listen to that, and that tells my man, I'm going to have a lovely day. Sometimes I get up and I put on the birds chirping because I get up at four o'clock and the real birds don't chirp until you know, two hours later. So just figure out a morning routine that occupies your man for at least thirty minutes. Then that makes that self deprecating, intrusive thoughts go away because you have a morning routine, and you want the morning routine to tell you that you're safe.

47:53 Do songs that make you happy. Okay, you know, do the song Bye Bye for real. I'm okay, because you hear things like that and your brain it takes that signal, Oh you're happy. Okay, all right, well let me start to do happy things. Okay, let me start to make you feel happy. You have to tell your brain what is going on outside. And if you tell your brain the world is awful, it's going to say, okay, well then I got to adapt to that. If you say the world is wonderful and everything nature's brut That's why it's so important to have that Gratitude Journal and all of that stuff, is that you have to give your brain a signal what's going on out there, okay, and you need to give it safety signals, not stress signal.

48:39 All right, that's the end of hormone confusion. And and then next thing, we're going to talk about heart rate variability. How that will help you to identify those daily stressors and then you can you can see it, then you can change it. All right, I know, I know, we went over Okay, all right, so we'll see you next week and we'll go from there. Thanks for joining doctor, Taylor Today.
