Here's your host, doctor Eldred Taylor's.
15
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.000
Hello, good morning. It is Wednesday, so that means it
16
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:09.599
is time for the Ageless Blueprint. And I am doctor Taylor,
17
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:14.560
the hormone Doctor and the spiritual MD. And today we
18
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.519
are going to talk about I was so glad we
19
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:18.840
had these two episodes with our guests, and I actually
20
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.480
will have a guest next week also, And let me
21
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:26.239
just change this. I have a guest next week also,
22
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:31.120
But today we're going to continue our battle against harmone confusion.
23
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.120
So today we're going to try and break up. We're
24
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.439
going to bust the myths that I think are propagating
25
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.599
hormone confusion. And I hear them all the time when
26
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.879
I'm on the social media, the questions I know they
27
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.640
have been influenced by these myths. So there's ten big
28
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.200
myths that I want to kind of eliminate, and I
29
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.359
want you, whoever's listening, whoever's going to listen, to study
30
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.359
these myths, remember them, and maybe you can help someone
31
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.120
else who has hormone confusion, and you can help to
32
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.400
bust these myths so that we can get the truth
33
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:11.199
out about hormones, so that we can end this confusion,
34
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.960
because I'm telling you it's bad. Okay, I see it
35
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.919
all the time in my office while I'm on social media,
36
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.360
the direct messages that I get, they're all trying to
37
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:26.120
understand and figure out what is going on with their
38
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.560
hormones because they know something that's shifted. So today we're
39
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.560
going to try and bust those ten myths. And we're
40
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.240
going to start here with our slides, and we're going
41
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:36.840
to go through it, and I want you to really
42
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:38.840
like even if you have to take a picture of
43
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:40.680
the slats, I don't know what you need to do,
44
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.639
but I really want to put this in your brain
45
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.879
because what I know is is that people need to
46
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.080
hear things four or five, six, seven, eight different times.
47
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.639
When they've heard something for ten years or twenty years
48
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.879
or thirty years, you can't just say it once in
49
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:00.159
order to rewire the brain. That's what I'm learning. To
50
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.919
hear it over and over again. And so I've done
51
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.000
this probably four or five times. And every time I talk,
52
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.840
I talk about these myths. So the ten myths that
53
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.120
keep harmone confusion alive. And this is what I want
54
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.719
you to remember. I had a patient come in and
55
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.879
she said, wrong test, wrong hormones. I'm like, okay, that
56
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.759
is the message. The reason why you're confused is because
57
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.960
they've been doing the wrong test, and so therefore you
58
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.719
have been getting the wrong hormones and therefore you have
59
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:29.000
been getting an outcome that you don't want. And that's
60
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.639
the key, all right. So if you don't do the
61
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.240
right test, you don't see the patterns that I see
62
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.960
is that I see disrupted cortisol all the time. I
63
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.639
see progesterone estrogen imbalance all the time, but when you
64
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:43.639
look in the bloods you don't see any of that.
65
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.400
It all looks normal. And I know you've been told
66
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.719
over and over again your blood tests look normal. And
67
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.800
that's because in the blood the hormones are normal like
68
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.360
they're supposed to be, but in your tissue they can
69
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.840
be out of balance. So remember, if you get the
70
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.159
wrong test, you will get the wrong answer, and you
71
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.759
will get the wrong treatment. Okay, and sometimes the wrong
72
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.800
treatment doesn't show up when you initially start the hormones,
73
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:14.199
but as time goes on, your body starts to realize, hey,
74
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.920
I'm out of balance, and then other things start to happen.
75
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.480
So that's what you need to remember. Even though you
76
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:24.160
may get an initial boost from testosterone or estrogen, over
77
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.639
time women will say, oh yeah, after five or six months,
78
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.759
I gained twenty pounds and then I started having chin
79
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.360
hair and I started losing my hair. That is the
80
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.519
build up of the hormone. Even though you didn't change
81
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.480
the dose, it can build up. So anyway, let's get
82
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:44.519
started so you do not have fifteen problems. I have
83
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.920
a white board and I list all of these symptoms
84
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.519
that women come in with and even men, and all
85
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.920
of them boil down to two things. Wrong test, wrong hormones.
86
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.720
There's all balls down to that. So you don't have
87
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.959
fifteen problems. People come in and have anxiety. I see
88
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.199
all the time with iron infusions because they're having heavy cycles,
89
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:08.600
weight issues, lolabido, they have depression. If you saw our
90
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.040
videos with our guests, they all had the same story.
91
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.439
The two people totally different backgrounds, totally different and didn't
92
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.319
know each other. They have the exact same story. And
93
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.480
I hear the same story. I've been hearing the same
94
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.199
story in my office for twenty five years. And the
95
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.800
story started with my wife. She had all of these symptoms.
96
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.279
I was doing the wrong test. And look, I will
97
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.160
tell you that we didn't even draw blood because we
98
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.000
knew it wasn't going to tell us anything. So the
99
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.360
fifteen problems, it started with my wife, and so therefore
100
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.240
we had to learn something, we had to figure something out.
101
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:48.079
And so that's what I'm saying. You don't have fifteen problems.
102
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.839
You have two problems. Wrong test, wrong harmones. That is
103
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.439
always the answer. That's the end of the confusion. Why
104
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.800
am I confused? Oh? I got the wrong test. That's
105
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.360
why I got the wrong harmones. That's why I got
106
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.040
twenty pounds weight gain. That's why my chin hair is
107
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.040
coming in and my hair on my head is falling out.
108
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:11.879
I have been re laying on the wrong test. And
109
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.480
this is another core mistake. Women are talked to focus
110
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.720
on certain hormones while most critical ones are completely ignored.
111
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.920
So there's been a big explosion of these women on
112
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.079
estrogen and testosterone pellets. As a company that's been pushing
113
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:29.800
it and pushing it, and they've done a good job
114
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.759
because I see them all the time. And I won't
115
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:35.600
say all the time, but there are a majority of
116
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.120
women that after a certain point the hormones built up.
117
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.240
They say I gained twenty pounds, my hair fell out.
118
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.000
I just had two paces the other day when we
119
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.160
were in the office said the exact same thing. So
120
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.040
I was talking to someone and I said, you know,
121
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:53.399
this is what happens when you have too much estrogen,
122
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.399
and she said everything you said. I have gained the
123
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.439
twenty pounds. I can't get it off. I'm intermittent fasting,
124
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.240
cannot diet and exercise your way past the harmone problem.
125
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.600
And so estrogen is we'll talk about it, but estrogen
126
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:09.759
store is fat. So the key thing is you can't
127
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.199
focus on estrogen and testosterone. What we really need to
128
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:18.360
focus on is progesterone, cortisol. How stress is affecting everything.
129
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.720
That's why we wrote those two books. One is are
130
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.360
your hertmones making you sick? And the other one is
131
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:28.399
the Stress Connection because stress physiology, it influences everything. So
132
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.800
that's what we have to be concerned about. I will
133
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.360
tell you if you walk into my office and you
134
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:35.680
have all of these symptoms, we are going to do
135
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.000
the right test and then we get the right answers
136
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.480
and it's easy to see the pattern. All right, So
137
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.480
we're going to change our focus, stop focusing on esrogen
138
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.079
and testosterone, and I want you to understand what progesterone
139
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.959
and cortisol can do for you. Right, So what is
140
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.519
the right if? And I know I hear it all
141
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:58.720
the time. People tell me, oh, my blood value said this,
142
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:01.959
and I tell them it means absolutely nothing because it's
143
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.959
the wrong test. If you are pre mental pozzal Okay,
144
00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.040
if you haven't gone through mental pulse yet, if you
145
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.639
look in the blood, it's going to always look like
146
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:13.879
it's in the normal rangey if your post mental puzzle.
147
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.279
Because the blood only sees what's coming from the ovary,
148
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:20.639
it doesn't see where estrogen is coming from. If you
149
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.279
use a cream or a peel, it doesn't see it. Okay.
150
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.560
So the right test is saliva hormone testing, because hormones
151
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.120
act in the tissue, not just in blood. Saliva catches
152
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.679
what is biologically active at the salular level. So right
153
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.600
hormones are progesterone and cortisol. The hormones most commonly overlooked
154
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.120
are most commonly responsible for the full symptom picture. So
155
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.279
the hormones that we are ignoring are the hormones that
156
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.399
are causing the problem. And that's what we've been focusing
157
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.279
on for twenty to twenty five years, and we know
158
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.000
that is the right solution to end hormone confusion. And
159
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:59.600
that's why we're so passionate and adamant about getting this
160
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.600
out because this is a problem for women and for men.
161
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.159
So the right pattern you balance over isolation. You're not
162
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.360
worried about what the blood level is, is what is
163
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:15.080
the balance in the tissue. That's where the action is.
164
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:19.080
It's not in the blood. Okay, So now we know
165
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.840
the reason why we've had the problem is that we've
166
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.679
done the wrong tests. Therefore we've gotten the wrong hartmones
167
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.919
that therefore we have gotten the outcome that we don't desire,
168
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:34.360
that you don't desire. So let me tell you why
169
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:37.120
why people keep doing the same thing and thinking something
170
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:40.360
different is going to happen. Okay, because myth number one,
171
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:44.399
menopause means you have no esergen. I hear it all
172
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:48.080
over the social media. Oh esrogen, this estrogen that you
173
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.120
have low estrogen. You have low esergen coming from your ovary.
174
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.720
But I'm going to show you there's another place where
175
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.840
you can get esergen. It's in the fat tissue, all right.
176
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.200
Estrogen is also fluctuating. So now estrogen does fluctuate, all right,
177
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.480
especially in perimenopause, because sometimes you ovulate, sometimes you don't.
178
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.320
And the key is is that in perimenopause, when you
179
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.600
don't ovulate, you really have too much estrogen in perimenopause,
180
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.519
not too little. Okay, So that's what you need to understand.
181
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:21.919
And you don't know that if you don't do the
182
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.039
right test. If you do the right test, you will
183
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:29.120
see that low estrogen is not your issue. It will
184
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:32.919
show up in the saliva test. All right. Myth number two.
185
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:36.159
You think that blood testing tells you the full story.
186
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.879
Everybody tells me, Okay, I'm getting my routine labs done.
187
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.639
I got a full panel, they did my estrogen progesterone
188
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:47.360
and everything looks fine. They're doing the wrong test. Okay,
189
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.600
they're doing the wrong tests. Okay, your labs are normal.
190
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:55.320
Blood test measures circulating hormone levels, not what hormones are
191
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:58.879
actually doing inside your tissue. So you get this lab
192
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:02.279
test that says everything normal, and everything is normal in
193
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.360
your blood. The doctor's not lying to you. It looks
194
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.879
normal in the blood, all right. But you know you
195
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.519
still can't sleep, you know you're gaining weight, you know
196
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:15.759
you still feel anxious, you know you're losing focus, and
197
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.519
you know you're emotionally unstable. And this is just the
198
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.360
beginning of the symptoms that we're talking about. So that
199
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.759
is the frustration. And I will tell you that's frustration
200
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:30.039
both ways. That's frustration from the doctors because they want
201
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.480
to help you, but they are not getting the information
202
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:36.159
so they can help you. You're frustrated because you're expecting
203
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.759
the doctor to help you, and you feel like you're
204
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:42.360
not being heard because you are. You keep telling the
205
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.639
doctor you still have all these symptoms. And then what
206
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.240
happens is you do trial and error. You start guessing
207
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.960
because the information in the blood work doesn't tell you anything,
208
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.240
so you start giving esergen. They can say they gained
209
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.600
twenty pounds. You look in the blood, they say, well,
210
00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.399
it couldn't be because your estrogen level is not elevated. Well,
211
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:03.200
it's all in the tissue. That is the confusion. Okay,
212
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.639
So I'm telling you doctors are confused. How do I
213
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.879
know because I hear from doctors and they hear this
214
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:11.600
and they say, I have never heard this before. And
215
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:15.080
let me tell you, your doctor is not lying because I
216
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.000
had never heard of this. After I finished my residency
217
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.000
in obg y N at Emory University, I was taught
218
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.639
these same myths that esrogen, that menopauseis is an esergen
219
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.759
deficiency condition. I was taught that. But that was thirty
220
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:34.240
five years ago. Okay, that was thirty five years ago.
221
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.480
And I'm not telling you that I'm I'm teaching some
222
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.960
new discovery. This is basic physiology that has been around
223
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.600
for thousands of years. That's why we're talking call it
224
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:48.279
an ageless blueprint because this is basic physiology, all right,
225
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.200
So let's see this is nothing number three and this
226
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.320
is I really want to drive this home because women
227
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.480
are getting testosterone and they're told that it's going to
228
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.480
give them energy, and it might do that for the
229
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.000
first month or two, but then eventually testosterone is going
230
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:08.720
to do what it does. It's going to start masculinizing it.
231
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.799
That means making you grow hair where you don't want
232
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.559
it and losing hair where you do want it. Okay.
233
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:16.879
It can also give you acne. It can make you
234
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.879
become aggressive if it's too hot, So women are exhausted.
235
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:24.440
Chronic fatigue driven by nervous system overloads is not a
236
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:29.279
testosterone deficiency. This is over here to the right. These
237
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.039
are your kidneys, and there's this thing called then adrenal gland.
238
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:35.360
That means it's above the renal gland the kidney. But anyway,
239
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.399
it is what produces cortisol in a daily rhythm. And
