Season 2

Why are so many women exhausted during and after menopause—and is testosterone really the answer? Dr. Eldred Taylor examines a 2026 international study of thousands of women showing physical and mental exhaustion as a major menopausal complaint. He explores cortisol, stress, brain fog, sleep, progesterone, testosterone therapy, pellets, hair loss, and why measuring hormone patterns may provide greater clarity than treating symptoms alone.

Here's your host, doctor Eldred Tables.

15
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.120
All Right, Hello, good morning everybody. It's Wednesday, and that

16
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.640
means it's nine o'clock in Atlanta, Georgia, and that means

17
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.719
it's time for as its Blueprint. And I am doctor Taylor,

18
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.719
the hormone doctor and also the spiritual MD. And today

19
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.680
we're going to try and tackle some more hormone confusion.

20
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.799
You know, I can't help it. I somehow I get

21
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:30.719
these notices from this Facebook group about biodonnical harmones, and

22
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:35.120
I see so much confusion there. It just it just

23
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.120
aggravates me so much that there's so much confusion. And

24
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.000
I'm here to try and end hormone confusion. And I

25
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.079
just saw a study that looked at and we're going

26
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.200
to talk about that today, a study that looked at

27
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.400
over seven thousand women in twenty different countries, and they

28
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.760
were looking at the difference between the women who had

29
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.640
problems pre mental puzzle and then postminal puzzle. And what

30
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.000
you go to see is that there's a big difference.

31
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.079
And what I think might be surprising, at least it

32
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.360
was surprising to me, is what was the number one

33
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.520
What was the number one symptom that people reported that

34
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.719
bothered them the most. So what we're gonna do. We're

35
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:18.159
gonna get into these slats, and please, I want you

36
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.520
to ask questions, and I may, you know, I may

37
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:22.639
try to engage you a little bit because I want

38
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.039
to see how many women have actually experienced this. Okay,

39
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.159
so listen closely and see if you see yourself any

40
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.240
of this. So all right, they saw women who were

41
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.319
postmonopausal they had fifty two percent more symptoms. But here's

42
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.039
the thing, there's no real measurements. They knew they had symptoms.

43
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.039
So that's why I say, you know, everybody goes by symptoms,

44
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.159
and what I want to talk about is how do

45
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.759
you go and measure these things so that you don't

46
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.120
have to wait for a symptom. Because by the time

47
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.319
you have a symptom, things have been have been brewing

48
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.280
for a long time, so the symptom is usually the

49
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.639
end result. So what you would like to do is

50
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.599
to find out what is brewing underneath stop it then,

51
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.919
and then you don't. It's much harder to stop whatever's

52
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.599
going on after the symptom has already occurred. So what

53
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.199
you want to do is be able to measure it

54
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.840
and figure out things before. So let's look at that.

55
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.120
So the number is real. So they what they did,

56
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.400
they did a survey and they saw that fifty two

57
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:26.719
percent higher. So seven point three women compared to four

58
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.159
point eight perimental pausal. They were a lot. They had

59
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.159
a lot more symptoms than they did pre mental puzzle.

60
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.199
Now I will tell you premnal pausel women have symptoms too.

61
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.319
I just did a TikTok video about PMDD pre minstrel

62
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:45.560
dysphoric disorder, a severe PMS, and it's gotten so many views.

63
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:49.360
And so these hormone issues are affecting the young and

64
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.240
the not so young, I don't want to say old,

65
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.039
the young and the not so old. So this is

66
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:55.919
a real issue. And that's why I'm on here all

67
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.240
the time trying to clear up this confusion because you

68
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.919
don't see this type of confusion in men's health. You

69
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.199
don't see this type of confusion about heart surgery. You

70
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.080
just don't. So why is it like this? And I

71
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.240
think it's because of the lack of proper measurement. Right

72
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.079
now here, here's the surprising thing. You would think women

73
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:23.680
would come in because of irregular bleeding or lolabido or

74
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:28.240
gaining weight. No, the number one problem was exhaustion. That's

75
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.319
what that was. The number one complaint of these postmintal

76
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.199
palls of women women is physical and mental exhaustion. And

77
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.199
you know, you look over here it says exhaustion also

78
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:43.959
included lower performance, impaired memory or concentration, and forgetfulness. And

79
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.120
you know I've been talking about that about the high

80
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.759
performing women are just women. That that's what happens, they

81
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.319
lose their ability to perform like they used to. And

82
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.720
that's that's really what I hear more than anything is exhaustion,

83
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:01.199
brain fog. That's usually the first thing. So now the

84
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:07.399
other issues were irritability, depressive mood, and anxiety. Now, if

85
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.600
you guys have been listening to me, you know that

86
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.199
if your postmonopology of a depressive mood and anxiety, a

87
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.680
lot of times that's due to the lack of progesterone,

88
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:22.959
because progesterone is an anti depressive, anti anxiety hormone. So

89
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:27.279
if you really understand what these hormones do, you can

90
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.680
as a as a patient, as a layperson. If you

91
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.839
understand what these hormones do, you can accept or reject

92
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.959
any advice that you might give because you know what

93
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.399
these hormones do. And that's what I'm trying to get across.

94
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.199
Teach you how these what these hormones do, and how

95
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.279
they work together. All right, So I love in the

96
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:51.120
chat if you say, hey, look, yeah that's me. I'm

97
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.839
totally exhausted and you know, so let's let's let's have

98
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:56.839
a little dialogue here, all right. So let's go to

99
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.680
the next line. So, what did they measure See, this

100
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.879
was just about reporting symptoms. Okay, that's all it was.

101
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.519
Nothing was measured. They looked at menopause stage by self report,

102
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.600
they looked at demographics and co founders. So that's what

103
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.800
that's is What I think causes the problems is that

104
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:21.079
everybody's most doctors are basing their treatment just on symptoms,

105
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.560
no other measurements at all. So if you only go

106
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.279
by symptoms, different women can have different symptoms but have

107
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.279
the same problem. And that's why you need some type

108
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.360
of testing to figure out. Is it a relationship between

109
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.480
esergen progester and that's a problem. Is it Aquardi doll problem?

110
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.879
Is it really a testosterone problem? What is it? So

111
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.879
that's why I'm saying you have fifty two percent more symptoms.

112
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.720
We know they have more symptoms, but we really don't

113
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.199
have a clear answer about what's going on right next,

114
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:56.000
Like all right, so this is kind of this is

115
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.720
kind of a joke, but anyway, because women come in

116
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.560
people and I've seen this and I've heard it over

117
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:05.959
and over again, and I'm wondering, why are so many

118
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.360
people on testosterone? Why are so many women on testosterone?

119
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.319
What is going on? When I was training. We never

120
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:16.879
gave women testosterone. Now all of a sudden, everybody needs testosterone,

121
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.399
and the reason why is that these women are coming

122
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:23.959
in exhausted. They're given testosterone and they're not being it's

123
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.480
not being measured properly, and therefore you get side effects,

124
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.600
and one of them is losing your hair, and that

125
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.279
is like a badge of honor for women, is that

126
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.800
you don't want to lose their hair. So a lot

127
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.079
of people are given testosterone because they're told that it

128
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.639
gives them energy, because because the complaint is exhaustion, But

129
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:51.879
that's not necessarily what is going on. So hey, Rebel,

130
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.839
if they're hav any questions, you can let them come

131
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:58.120
in or show them up on the chat, and I'll

132
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:02.120
try and answer them as we go, because I hope

133
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.000
there's some people on here who've been told they had

134
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:08.839
test need a testosterone, or took testosterone and find out

135
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.360
that it's not doing exactly what they wanted it to do.

136
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.079
All right, So if the number one symptom in perimenopause

137
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.759
is exhaustion, then that's what we need to talk about.

138
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.839
What is causing this exhaustion? Yet almost eight thousand women

139
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.040
in twenty countries and this was done just recently in

140
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.959
twenty twenty six. All right, So here's how it works.

141
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.279
A patient comes in, they say, I'm exhausted. Doctor does

142
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.720
the blood test. Usually the blood test you're going to

143
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.240
get is they're going to look at your blood count.

144
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:42.879
They may look at your thyroid and then they look

145
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:46.200
at your female hormones and they add testosterone in there

146
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.759
and they see the testosterone is low, so they prescribe testosterone.

147
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:54.399
And you're going to see when I show some of

148
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:59.159
the scientific studies that testosterone is not what you need

149
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:03.000
if you are exact right, because see testostrone gives you

150
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.919
a temporary energy boost. That's what you're asking for, is

151
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.919
you want more energy. It is not a fix for exhaustion.

152
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.919
And it's just not all right. Testosterone is not It

153
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:18.919
is a male hormone, all right. So it masculinizes you. Okay,

154
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.200
what happens in men. Men as they get older, they

155
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:25.759
lose their hair as you can see, and it makes

156
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:27.960
them grow hair where they don't want it. So I

157
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.679
tell women, it makes you lose hair where you want it,

158
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.799
and it makes you get hair where you don't want it.

159
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.440
All right, So testosterone will give you a temporary boost,

160
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.799
but as you'll see, it's not the fix for exhaustion.

161
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.679
And when you don't match the right hormone with the

162
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:49.159
right deficiency, more than likely you're going to start getting

163
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.879
some type of side effects. All right, Yeah, I told you,

164
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:55.879
I told you. I get these notices from the Facebook groups.

165
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:57.559
I want to just read some of these so you

166
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.399
can see how much confusion is out there. If has

167
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.559
anybody out there who has some of these symptoms. So

168
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.639
I am hearing a lot of negative side effects from pellets.

169
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.519
And I don't know if you know about pellets, but

170
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:14.120
that's been a trend here lately, and they're giving estrogen

171
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.519
and testosterone pellets to women. And pellets are these little

172
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.399
things that look like, I don't know, smaller than a bullet,

173
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:24.159
and you put them underneath the skin and they slowly

174
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.039
release hartmones over the course of time, so they're released

175
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:33.200
underneath the skin into the sub subcutaneous fact tissue. And

176
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.399
you remember that hormones are fat soluble, so that's why

177
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.000
you can put them under the skin and the fat

178
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:42.279
and they'll actually dissolve and actually go into your system

179
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.440
and you get effects from it. So that's what a

180
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.600
pellet is So a girlfriend of mine just got her

181
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.159
second set inserted and her testosterone the sky high. So

182
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.279
I don't know why they inserted a second set, but

183
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.799
they said after this they would retest her, and I

184
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:59.279
hope you just so. Now again they're going to test her,

185
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.799
but they're going to test in the blood, and it

186
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.720
will show it when you are overdosed a person, but

187
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:07.559
it's not going to show you when they are in

188
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.720
the right balance because, as you know, blood just tells

189
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.840
you what's circulating. And the only reason why that hormone

190
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:18.240
from the pellet gets into the blood is after the

191
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.879
tissue is saturated, all right, So I want you to

192
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:23.000
hear that. So by the time it's in the blood,

193
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.279
by the time the blood level increases, then usually the

194
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.320
tissue is saturated, all right. That means that it's so

195
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:31.559
high in the tissue that it goes back into the blood.

196
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.879
Right now, this is another lady just got her my

197
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.440
lab results back from a third pellet. I get testopteron

198
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.679
the estra and the pellet and take progesterone by peel

199
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.440
every night. Let me tell you another problem with that

200
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.159
is that you do the pellet so that somebody doesn't

201
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.360
have to do that, doesn't have to remember anything for

202
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:51.360
three months. Every three months they get the pellets only

203
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:53.519
four times a year. Do you have to worry about,

204
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.559
you know, replacing your hormones. But here's the here's the

205
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:02.759
unusual thing that is to increase compliance. But you still

206
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:05.159
have to remember to take your progesterone pill every night,

207
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.200
so that is more likely you're going to it's more

208
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.799
likely you're still going to forget the progesterone pill. And

209
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.919
that's very important in order to balance the estrogen that's

210
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.159
in the pellet. So that's another problem. Now, some people

211
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:23.960
do progesterone pellets. I actually do that. But yeah, it's

212
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.799
it's it's a problem. So it really doesn't make any

213
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.440
sense to I see the questions up and I'm gonna

214
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.159
stop it. In a minute, we'll go through them. Okay,

215
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.600
all right, So has anyone else had these types of levels?

216
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:38.000
And how did they feel? And that's why I'm saying,

217
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:42.039
they're asking they're asking other people, not the doctors. No,

218
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.759
they're asking other women who are having the same issues.

219
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:47.360
All right, So, well, she wanted to prescribe medicine for

220
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:51.279
the acne. The medicine is a testosterone blocker. Doesn't make

221
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:53.679
sense to pay for testosterone pellets and then take an

222
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:57.919
oral medicine to block it. So, you know, I tell

223
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.919
people when I give you something that you need, what

224
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.320
will happen is is that a lot of things will

225
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.399
get better. You know, you give somebody you treat their quarters,

226
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:09.320
or you treat their progesterone, whatever, and they get better

227
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.799
quickly because it's exactly what the body needs. When you

228
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.879
give something they don't need, then you start to have problems.

229
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.159
And you may be giving biodmical testosterone, but you begin

230
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:23.519
having problems because you're overdosing the person, okay, and so

231
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.600
now they have to make get something to block the

232
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.240
testosterone you just gave them. So unfortunately, most doctors have

233
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.240
not studied menopause in twenty five years and it's not

234
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:36.720
taught in medical schools. So right now they're only six percent.

235
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:40.200
And I think I've done a video. I actually did

236
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.440
a podcast on this study. It said it really was

237
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.240
nine percent. Only nine percent of doctors felt like they

238
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.519
understood menopause and could and could treat patients, and women

239
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.080
keep going back to the doctors when they aren't up

240
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.679
on up to date on BHRT. Women need to be

241
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:58.080
their own advocates, and that's my issue. I want you

242
00:13:58.200 --> 00:13:59.799
to be your own advocate. That's why I'm on here

243
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:02.360
trying to teach you guys all right now, think long

244
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.879
and hard, getting and I'm not saying anything about these

245
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:08.840
particular pellets. This is a face after one year of pellets.

246
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:12.039
I didn't even have acne as a teenager. So acne,

247
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:16.440
hair growth, hair loss. That's what you get with long

248
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.679
term use of testosterone, especially if it's not monitored properly.

249
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:23.720
And how do you monitor it with saliva tests? You

250
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.159
guys should know that by now. Let me I'll answer

251
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:29.600
a question, which can you show the question again? How

252
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.600
do you notice the symptoms? Well, this is how I

253
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.279
say it is that if you are not functioning like

254
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.360
you used to or like you think you should, that's

255
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:42.000
the exhaustion that we're talking about. And usually by the

256
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:46.799
time you're imperimentopause forty fifty, that is the time where

257
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.320
you have all these other stressors. Okay, Usually children are

258
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.240
growing up, maybe ready to go to college, your parents

259
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:56.879
are aging, so you got those issues. You might be

260
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.559
having financial issues or relationship issues, so all of those

261
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.840
things happen around perimental pause, and that is more likely

262
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.000
to be a problem with cortisol than it has to

263
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.960
do with testosterone at all. Right, so how do you

264
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.960
notice the symptoms? Again, you need to compare yourself to

265
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.399
and usually the decline comes after a stressor or after

266
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.320
several stressors. So if you've been through a lot, the

267
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:27.279
stresses have gone away, but you still feel exhausted, I'm

268
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:29.279
going to show you what's happening there. All right. We

269
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:31.799
had another question. If you put them over on the side,

270
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.120
I can I can keep up with them and see

271
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.000
here we go. All right, so I see them over here. Now,

272
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:41.120
life gives you physical and mental exhaustion. How can you

273
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:44.639
tell the difference between daily overdue and anything else? What

274
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:46.600
I would tell you that the problem is how you

275
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.480
can tell. The problem is that if the stressor is

276
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.440
over and you still feel like that, Because when you're

277
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.080
going through the stress, your body a lot of times

278
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.759
will step up to the challenge. But then after it's over,

279
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:00.720
your body has to recover and a lot of times

280
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.639
you'll get this exhaustion. And I'll show you. I'll show

281
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.000
you how it looks on the saliva test. All right, Uh,

282
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:09.200
does testarone make you lose your hair. Yes, and I'm

283
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:10.960
gonna show you why it makes you lose your hair.

284
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.919
Does your body naturally make testosterone after menopause, Yes, it

285
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.360
does because you're adrenal gland, which sits on top of

286
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:23.679
your kidney, it can actually make testosterone, and it makes testosterone.

287
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.919
It really makes testosterone on even scale. You don't at menopause,

288
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.120
you don't lose testosterone. You lose some that comes from

289
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:34.320
the ovary, but you still have a backup the adrenal gland.

290
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.120
And women only need a small amount of testosterone. And

291
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:43.039
actually it's very hard to measure testosterone in women in

292
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:47.480
saliva are in blood because there's such a small amount.

293
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:51.200
It's hard, very hard to even measure testosterone in women,

294
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:54.159
especially in the blood. So a lot of times everybody

295
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.440
looks like they're low. And I'm gonna I'll show you,

296
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.759
all right. So now I want to make sure you

297
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:01.039
understand that this is not me saying this. I'm not

298
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:05.759
anti testosterone, I'm not anti pelots, I'm not anything. I'm

299
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:09.880
just trying to understand the science and help you understand

300
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:12.559
it so you can make better decisions. And you're not

301
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:16.960
on these Facebook groups asking other women the information that

302
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.920
you should already know, all right. So the Global Census

303
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.720
position statement on the use of testosterone therapy and women.

304
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:27.000
So this is a global consensus. Remember that study looked

305
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.720
at people from twenty countries, so they're talking about this

306
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.960
is their this is their recommendation, all right, So let's

307
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.319
look at this. Can you remove that so we can

308
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.160
talk about So testosterone therapy and women is not indicated

309
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.240
for fatig r low mood, no proven benefit for cognition

310
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:50.680
or weight, no blood level diagnosis, no blood level diagnosis,

311
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:53.200
androgen deficiency. So that's why I want to tell you.

312
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:55.960
So even a blood level, it doesn't tell you if

313
00:17:55.960 --> 00:18:00.359
there is an actual deficiency. Levels cannot identify sexual function.

314
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:06.440
Judge responds clinically to this is a hyposexual desire and

315
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.119
test only to avoid super physiologic levels. And that's what

316
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:13.039
I'm telling you. The only time you're going to see

317
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:16.599
it in the blood is when the hormone is super

318
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:20.359
ugh physiologic. That means it's above the normal range. That's

319
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:22.319
the only time you're going to see it in the blood.

320
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.519
So if you give a woman enough testoson so you

321
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.720
can see her blood level rise, it almost is tell

322
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:32.000
it at least this this study is saying, hey, you're

323
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.279
seeing that because she has a super physiologic level. All right,

324
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.880
And so hormones are like this, too little hormone is

325
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.519
a problem and too much harmone is a problem. So

326
00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:44.920
that's why you want to test accurately so that you

327
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.759
can get in the sweet spot of the of the

328
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.319
level of the hormone for the tissue. All right, now,

329
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:54.559
this is what I want to get to. Cortisol is

330
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:58.359
what mobilizes glucose so you have energy during the day. Okay,

331
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:03.119
So in that study, nobody even mentioned cortisol. Nobody talked

332
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:08.200
about cortisol. And most people think when they are fatigued

333
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.720
or when they're anxious, they think their cortisol is high. Right,

334
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:13.480
But that's not the issue. And I will show you

335
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:18.000
that when you are feeling exhausted and you're and you're anxious,

336
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:21.000
and you're you're like, oh, I'm so stressed, most of

337
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:24.039
the time your cortisol is not high. Because when you're

338
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:27.279
stressed and your cortisol is working correctly, you will have

339
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.480
enough energy or glucose to handle the stress. It won't

340
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:35.039
seem overwhelming. But if you so, if there's a problem

341
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:38.119
with cortisol. It's usually not that it's too high. Now,

342
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:42.279
what happens is you're you're handling the stress and it's

343
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:44.720
high for a long time, and now by the time

344
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.559
you're exhausted, the cortisol curve is decompensated. All right, Now,

345
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.440
cortisol is your energy, and I want to get that across.

346
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.880
And there's ways to measure cortisol. And if you measure

347
00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:00.039
it and then you identify because usually cortisol is the

348
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:04.799
initiating problem. Because when you are low in cortisol, your

349
00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:09.240
low energy, and when you're low in energy, your brain

350
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:13.759
starts to it starts to distribute energy in a very

351
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:17.559
conservative way. Your body is always trying to conserve energy.

352
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:21.839
So what turns off first, Your reproductive system usually turns

353
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:25.319
off first because that takes a lot of energy. And

354
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:28.559
then the well number one is your brain. Your brain

355
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:32.000
takes twenty percent of the energy. So the brain fog

356
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:34.920
is that your brain does not have enough energy to

357
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:37.440
make the connection so that you can remember things and

358
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:40.839
so that you can understand things. So that's why a

359
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:43.039
lot of people have brain fog. It's due to that,

360
00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:46.400
all right. Next lab, so your doctor tested the blood

361
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:52.039
solow testosterone. Never tested the cortisol. That's the issue. They

362
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.839
never tested the cortisol. And people don't even mention cortisol

363
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:58.799
when we're talking about exhaustion. I see pacis who come in.

364
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.160
They're fair to level is low, and I talked to

365
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:05.559
them and I say, Okay, your fair to may be low.

366
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:08.759
There may be an iron problem, but let's look at cortisol.

367
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:10.880
And I will tell you nine times out of ten

368
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:14.440
it's a quartisol problem. It may be an iron problem,

369
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:17.640
but it's also a quarterisoll problem. I see men who

370
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:20.319
are on testos throne, they've been on testops from for

371
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:24.400
a long time. What happens is you usually get diminishing returns.

372
00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:26.519
So I'll see a guy he's been on the four

373
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.799
three or four years. He's exhausted. Well, men have stress too,

374
00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:34.839
they can have cortisol issues also, all right, and I

375
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:37.960
did this before that this is not a rare pattern.

376
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:40.960
This is not rare. So this is how you test

377
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:46.960
cortisol in the saliva. They collect their saliva over the

378
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.480
course of the day four times during the day, when

379
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.839
they wake up, around lunchtime, around dinner time, and right

380
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.759
before they go to sleep. This is how normal quarters

381
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:57.599
all curve should look. Let's let me go back here.

382
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:00.319
This is how normal quartas all curve should look. And

383
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:02.960
you can do this all through saliva. These are the

384
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:05.039
four points. This is how it should look. You should

385
00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:07.559
wake up in the morning, have a lot of energy

386
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.279
that should dissipate over the course of the day. You

387
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:13.119
eat lunch, you get a little bit more energy. This

388
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:15.880
is dinner. Now it's time to go to sleep. You

389
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:18.119
have a nice, restless sleep, and you come around and

390
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:20.839
you do it all over again the next day. That's

391
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:25.720
how cortisol works. So if you don't wake up with energy,

392
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:28.400
if you don't go to sleep at night, or you

393
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:30.000
have trouble going to sleep, or you wake up at

394
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.440
two or three o'clock in the morning, that is more

395
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:36.559
of a cortisolt issue than it is a testosterone issue.

396
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.319
It can also be a progesterone issue because progesterone helps

397
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.440
to calm you. It slows the brain down, all right,

398
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:46.720
So that's what we're testing. So look at this. These

399
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:50.640
are this is not like a few of my patients.

400
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:54.240
These are the test results I get almost every day.

401
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:57.359
Is that? So, now, this is how remember the curve

402
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:00.640
that we just showed you it's really mimicking this. So

403
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:03.799
this is normal. Wake up in the morning, the energy

404
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.240
goes down. This is lunch center. That's how it should look.

405
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.839
This black line right here, and rebel, can they see

406
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:16.200
my cursor? No? Okay, So let's look at the upper

407
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:19.720
So we're looking at the upper left. So the green

408
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:23.640
area is normal. Okay, The yellow area above that is

409
00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:27.799
borderline high. The area above that is high. All right,

410
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:31.720
So red is high, yellow is a borderline high, Green

411
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:36.279
is normal, light, blue is low normal, and really in

412
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:39.039
the blue, you're really wiped out. Okay, So let's look

413
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.319
at the lady on the upper left. You see that

414
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:45.160
black line, how it's almost flat at the bottom. That's

415
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:49.359
really what you would call burnout. She has no energy. Okay.

416
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.160
Her energy should be up in the green, and now

417
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:55.319
she has no energy. What happens is everything is more

418
00:23:55.319 --> 00:24:00.640
difficult because her brain doesn't work. She feels different. She

419
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.480
doesn't understand why she can't sleep, why she's so tired.

420
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:06.880
She may sleep and wakes up still tired. And I'll

421
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:08.880
tell you all of these women if you talk to them,

422
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:10.720
and the reason why I do the test is that

423
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:14.119
they've had multiple stressors. It's all of these forty fifty

424
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:16.680
year old women who are dealing with all of those

425
00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:19.680
problems from both sides of their family, the children and

426
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:23.240
their parents. And that's what that's the life we live now.

427
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:28.680
And this is so common, but so few people understand it,

428
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:32.000
so few doctors actually use it. And so let's look

429
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.160
at the middle one. You see this the black line.

430
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:38.279
Look at the one on the upper right, same issue.

431
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:41.440
It's abnormal. It doesn't have a normal curve. And if

432
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:43.640
you look at that black line, you see at night

433
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:46.440
when she should be asleep, it's up in the red area.

434
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:48.720
That's the one on the upper right. And see the

435
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:51.200
black line is up in the red all evening. So

436
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:54.240
she's going to have a difficult time falling asleep, or

437
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:56.039
she may wake up at two or three o'clock in

438
00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:58.599
the morning and not understand why. So let's look at

439
00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:02.240
the bottom at the bottom left, same thing. The middle

440
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:04.880
is just a disrupted curve. And then one on the

441
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:08.759
bottom left. That's another burnout. Okay, this person's going to

442
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:12.480
be tired all day long. Okay, does the body have

443
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.839
a natural rhythm that keeps this in order? Yes, this

444
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:18.559
is the natural rhythm all right. Now, I will tell

445
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:21.519
you if you want to have a natural rhythm, you've

446
00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:26.079
got to Your rhythm is based on sunlight. So if

447
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.440
you want to have a natural rhythm, you need to

448
00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:31.920
be exposed to the sun in the morning because when

449
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:35.279
you see that sunlight, it turns on a clock in

450
00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:38.880
your head that fourteen hours later you should be sleepy.

451
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:41.119
All right. That's what this curve. This is a fourteen

452
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:46.200
hour curve. You know, fourteen hour curve. You know, in

453
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:49.319
the right season, all right. And the reason why you

454
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:52.440
go to California, if you're in the East Coast and

455
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.000
you go to California, if the first two or three

456
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:58.599
days or four days, you're going to wake up at

457
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:02.559
four o'clock in the morning California time, because your clock

458
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:05.359
is set on Eastern time. Now, if you stay out

459
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:09.319
in California long enough, your body will adjust to the

460
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:14.720
sunlight time in California, and after five, six, seven days,

461
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:17.920
you'll start to acclimate because now it's seeing the sun

462
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.519
at a different time. So that's how your body keeps score,

463
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:24.759
all right, that's how that works. So you need to

464
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:27.640
get you need to get morning sunlight so that you

465
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:31.440
can have a normal rhythm, all right. If you're always

466
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:34.599
under artificial light. You don't see the sunlight. Your body

467
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:37.599
has a difficult time figuring out what time of day

468
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:40.400
is it, day is it? And what should happen at

469
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:43.440
certain times of the day, because there's times in this

470
00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:46.319
clock that's the best time to eat, the best time

471
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:49.319
to sleep. So, yes, your body has a natural rhythm.

472
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:54.480
It's called chronobiology. It's biology based on time. So there's

473
00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:57.160
certain times that it's best for your body to eat,

474
00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:00.279
it's best for your body to rest, and so on

475
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:03.319
and so forth. All right, so you see that this

476
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:05.480
is not a rare pattern. And that's why I'm trying

477
00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:08.720
to get get the women and men to talk to

478
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:11.279
their doctor about it. The reason why I started doing

479
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:14.400
saliva testing because a patient asked me a question, and

480
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:17.480
you need to ask a question, Hey, have you heard

481
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:20.920
about quortosol? I'm hearing the quartosol mobilizes glucose, that that

482
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:24.359
be a problem with my exhaustion. And if enough women

483
00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:27.720
are patients go in and start asking the doctor, they

484
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:31.279
the doctor is more as more incentive to go and

485
00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:33.400
learn about it. And he may want to go learn

486
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:36.799
about it because he wants to dispute what you're saying

487
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:39.000
and that's what I wanted to do when the patient

488
00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:42.319
told me about progesteron and saliva testing. Then I studied it,

489
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:45.480
and I'm like, oh my gosh, she's right. And twenty

490
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.000
five years later, I'm still trying to I'm still going

491
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:51.000
with that. Okay, what if you used to what if

492
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:54.680
you are used to being awake longer than being asleep?

493
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:58.039
What if you're used to being awake now again, you

494
00:27:58.079 --> 00:28:01.720
can change your circadian rhythm. That's what that's called. Just

495
00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:04.960
like if you move out to California, you will actually

496
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:10.440
make to that if you have moved to stress California. Okay,

497
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:15.039
so if you are chronically stressed, your body will adjust

498
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.640
to that time period. Okay, so if you if you

499
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:21.359
adjust your body to stay awake, you know, all day

500
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:24.440
and not go to sleep, then your body will eventually

501
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:26.880
adjust to that. I'll tell you one way that your

502
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:31.319
body adjusts is that women who have children, when they

503
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:36.000
are infants or babies, their nighttime cortisol goes up. That's

504
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:38.960
why women can hear the baby, you know, make a

505
00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:42.039
sound two rooms away, and the husband can't hear a

506
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:45.720
thing because it's kind of a maternal instinct that you

507
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:47.920
don't want to have a deep sleep at night. So

508
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.559
your cortisol curve will go up. Now a lot of times,

509
00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:54.000
especially if women have had a child that may have

510
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:58.240
had SIDS or was in the ICU, and they're hyper vigilant,

511
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:01.680
then the cortosol will raise, so they hear every little sound,

512
00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:04.680
so they have a real problem going to sleep. And

513
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:08.799
even after the baby has matured and everything's fine, they

514
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:10.920
may still find that it's hard for them to stay

515
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:14.839
asleep at night because they have this hypervigilant cortisol. So

516
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.079
that's why I'm telling you cortisol is so important. And

517
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:21.079
I really believe that those fifty two percent of women

518
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:26.559
who had a higher score than primanopozzo, that cortisol was

519
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.119
their problem. Now, the study said always due to fluctuating

520
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:35.119
estrogen and progesterone, and that's that's correct. Also, however, the

521
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:38.400
missing piece is the cortisol. And that's what we found

522
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:40.240
out when we wrote a book, Are Your Hormones Making

523
00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:42.440
You Sick? We wrote that first, and then two or

524
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:45.559
three years later we understood that stress was really the

525
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.720
culprit okay, and so we wrote the book The Stress Connection,

526
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:51.160
And that's where we that's how we do it. Now

527
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:53.839
we start from the top going to the bottom. So

528
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:56.440
the top of the pyramid I think most of the

529
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.920
time is cortisol and then all the other stuff estrogen, usteral, testoster,

530
00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:04.599
all of that. It feeds off of this dysregulation. All right,

531
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:07.279
So it's time for a break. Will come back please.

532
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:09.400
If you have some more questions, that's fine. I've got

a few more slats. We're going to talk to you

534
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.039
exactly how testosterone, what it does do, and what it

535
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:17.400
doesn't do. All right, So we'll see you after the break.

536
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:21.119
We are going to a quick break, so stay with

better health and a better life in modern times. Here's

553
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:29.240
your host, doctor Aldred Taylor.

554
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:32.079
All right, so we're back and we're talking about this

555
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:38.599
study that showed that women have that pre parimanal pauls

556
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:43.160
of women have a lot more symptoms than premenopauls of women.

557
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:47.480
And I think that's pretty obvious. And okay, I'm watching

558
00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:49.599
my podcast as all wife. First, thank you for making

559
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:52.079
this information for free that has been here. My question,

560
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:56.440
when should cortisol testing be considered if you have had

561
00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:59.319
a lot of stress and now you're exhausted and wonder

562
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:01.920
why you can't right, I used to ask people would

563
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:04.720
tell me about all of these things going on in

564
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:06.920
their life. And the reason why I asked that is

565
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:10.000
because it said seventy five to ninety percent of all

566
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:13.599
visits to primary care physicians are for stress related complaints

567
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.400
or disorders. So a long time ago, twenty years ago,

568
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:18.160
I said I'm going to be an expert on stress,

569
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:20.480
because seventy five to ninety percent of the patients are

570
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.960
going to have issues involving that. So that is what

571
00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:26.400
you need to understand. I will tell you that if

572
00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:28.559
you have a pattern like this where you wake up

573
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.279
and you're still tired, and if you've had a series

574
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:33.519
of stressors or one big stressor and you feel like

575
00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:36.559
you haven't recovered, our ask patient, do you feel like

576
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:40.960
this stress changed your health? And almost always they will

577
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:44.119
say yes, they know that something happened and all of

578
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:47.480
a sudden their health deteriorated. But a lot of times

579
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:49.799
we don't have enough time to go that far back

580
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.759
because we're so eager. And I'm not a bashing physicians,

581
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:54.960
this is just how the system is. We're so eager

582
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:57.960
to write a prescription, so we see something, Oh, testosterons,

583
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:01.240
let's give them that without really thinking it through. So

584
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:03.319
I will tell you that if you're asking the question,

585
00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:06.079
you probably need the cortas all tested. And I will

586
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:09.079
tell you in this you know the way the world

587
00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:13.359
is now, everybody's stressed. Everybody's stressed. If you talk to them,

588
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:16.519
everybody's stressed, all right. So I would tell you that

589
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:18.200
if you're feeling like that, you ought to get your

590
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:21.640
quarters all tested, and there are ways to improve this.

591
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:24.920
We do it with IV therapy, we do it with adaptogens.

592
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:27.279
We have a product called Dream of Care Glandular that

593
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:29.640
we do before and afters we see something like this,

594
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:33.759
we treat them and we retreat, we retest them, and

595
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:37.039
we see their improvement not only in their symptoms, but

596
00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:40.799
we see their improvement in their in the measurement also, right,

597
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:45.920
low energy always be blamed on menopause, No, you can be.

598
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:51.480
I've seen abnormal cortisol curves. I've seen abnormal cortisol curves

599
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:56.119
in people as young as sixteen because the stress and

600
00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:59.519
the pressure now on these kids to get to getting

601
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:02.440
the right high school, getting the right college, trying to

602
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:05.920
get a job. So this is not just a menopause thing.

603
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.920
This can be at any age when someone has gone

604
00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:13.039
through a stressor, and it doesn't necessarily have to be

605
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:16.519
an emotional stressor. It can also be a physical stressor,

606
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:20.239
and menopause is a physical stressor. So if you have

607
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:24.000
a lot of emotional stressors and now menopause comes because

608
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:27.119
because it's a stressor, because it is a change, it

609
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:30.679
is a recalibration, it's a transition, and so you have

610
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:34.440
all these emotional stressors. Now menopause hits. That's the straw

611
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:36.920
that breaks the camel's back. So that's why a lot

612
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:40.599
of people blame low energy on menopause. But it's really

613
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:44.639
that change, that physical change along with the emotional stress

614
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:47.519
that seems to be what does it all? Right, So

615
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:51.239
she's on testosterone and she never even needed it. So

616
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:56.000
for a problem, for a problem, the testosterone doesn't even solve.

617
00:34:56.360 --> 00:35:00.239
So she didn't need the testosterone. But she got the

618
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:03.239
testosterone and it didn't solve a problem. And that's why

619
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:07.519
the title of that slide was I'm still exhausted and

620
00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:12.199
now I'm losing my hair. And actually the quote was like, uh,

621
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:15.159
I'm exhausted and now I'm bald, you know. So it

622
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:18.360
really didn't help anything. So somebody was asking how the

623
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:22.440
testosterone that's problems with your hair. Well, there's something called DHT.

624
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:26.079
The testosterone can get converted into and this is the

625
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:29.599
This DHT does a lot of things that people don't

626
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:32.039
want to do, and one is to lose their hair,

627
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:34.360
and that does that in men and in women. The

628
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:37.400
other thing they did, they think DHT may be a

629
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:43.360
part of the contribution to stimulate growth in a prostate cancer.

630
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:45.679
So it may not be the testosterone, or it may

631
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.800
be the conversion of testosterone into DHT. And that's just

632
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:55.960
a long long DHT is abbreviation for something called dihydro testosterone.

633
00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:59.320
So just that's what DHT is, all right. So I

634
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:03.119
think this is a So here's what happens. And we've

635
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:06.480
talked about that. You have exhaustion. The doctor blame's testosterone

636
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:10.760
describes the pellet you get hair loss. It's still exhausted.

637
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:15.039
And the real problem is cortisol. And I keep talking

638
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:19.000
about cortisol. I'm going to talk about cortisol until I'm

639
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:23.039
blue in the face because I think cortisol is the

640
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:26.920
root because of a lot of problems. Is that, you know,

641
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:30.559
stress just it is connected to everything. That's why we

642
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:34.920
name the book the Stress Connection, because it's connected to everything.

643
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:37.960
So doctor, my question is two women with some same

644
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:42.239
symptoms need complete different treatment. This is why I don't

645
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:46.280
believe in social groups exactly. That's what I'm saying. Why

646
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:49.039
are you going to Facebook and see? The problem is

647
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:53.320
I think with the medical education system, you saw that

648
00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:56.639
only six to nine percent of doctors felt like they

649
00:36:56.719 --> 00:37:02.039
understood menopause A. I did a a podcast last week

650
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:07.440
talking about how menopaus and women's hormones have been an

651
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:13.280
issue for centuries. Okay, I mean they were confused about

652
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:15.880
what to do with menopause back ten thousand years ago.

653
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:18.440
They had women in huts. When they would have a

654
00:37:18.519 --> 00:37:21.079
change in their mood, they thought that they were possessed.

655
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.519
So all kinds of things. We've always been confused about hormones,

656
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:27.440
and I'm trying to end that hormone confusion. I'm trying

657
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:29.840
to end it now, and I'm trying to end it

658
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:34.119
so that you can educate your daughters and more people

659
00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:37.199
can understand this than husbands and understand their wives and

660
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:40.199
what they might be going through. I just have a

661
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:44.920
free download as a Man's Guide to Hormones and Women's Hormones,

662
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:48.159
because you need to understand these transitions that women are

663
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:51.639
going through and you need to be supportive. But a

664
00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:54.599
lot of times you don't understand it. You take it personally.

665
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.880
But I want everybody. I want heartmone confusion to end,

666
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:04.480
for for doctors, for the Facebook groups, or men for women,

667
00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:07.719
is that we've got to come to a conclusion. If

668
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:09.960
we can go to the moon, we can go to

669
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:14.920
mars now, you know, but we still have confusion about hormones,

670
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:17.320
thinking testosterone is going to give them energy and not

671
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:20.320
called side effects. If you give the wrong harmony, you're

672
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:22.480
going to get the wrong You're going to get the

673
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:26.360
wrong outcome. And that's with anything. So that's I think,

674
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:29.679
that's okay. So how do you what do you do?

675
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:33.199
And let me just make this clear. You're not going

676
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:36.480
to get the right answer if you're only testing the blood.

677
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:39.679
It's just not And that's why these women are confused.

678
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:43.920
That's why doctors are confused because here's how here's what happens.

679
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:47.320
They look, they think, the doctor thinks it's a hormone problem.

680
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:50.280
They look at the blood and they say, wait, everything

681
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:52.840
is normal, so it can't be hormones. So then they

682
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:55.960
start doing other things. Okay, they send you to the endochronology,

683
00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:59.280
they send you to the rheumatologists, they send you to

684
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:03.760
the psychiatgry because that initial blood work is not telling

685
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:06.440
them what's really happening. So that's why you look in

686
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:09.639
the saliva, because if you just do a morning quartodol,

687
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:12.199
it's not telling you what's going on in the pattern

688
00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:15.719
for the whole day. So you test cortisol in saliva,

689
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:19.280
you test testosterone with saliva, you test estrogen with saliva,

690
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:23.079
you test progesterone. Because they're all fat soluble. That's why

691
00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:25.360
you can put the pellety in in fat and you

692
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:30.480
get an effect because it's easily it's easily extracted in

693
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:34.000
fat tissue. Right, So that's why you have to use

694
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.039
saliva because blood testing is not going to show you

695
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:41.320
the tissue concentration of the blood test's not going to

696
00:39:41.320 --> 00:39:44.280
show you the tissue concentration of any fat soluble harmone.

697
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:46.320
All right, so we get one more. Is there a

698
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:50.360
saliva test from it? It's the same test. Okay, Now

699
00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:52.079
let me tell you what happens in men. They get

700
00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:55.599
overdose with testosterone. When you take too much testosterone, it

701
00:39:56.440 --> 00:40:00.719
starts to have diminishing returns. It's over sat so your

702
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:05.159
body gets desensitized to it. So the same test, we

703
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:08.000
do the same saliva test on men and women. Now

704
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:10.840
with men, we're looking at their estrogen level and their

705
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:14.480
testosterone level, because just like testosterone can get converted to

706
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:18.920
DHT estrogen, I mean, testosterone can get converted into estrogen.

707
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:21.599
So if you have in the fact tation, so if

708
00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:25.239
you have an overweight guy and you give them testosterone,

709
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:27.559
some of that testosterone is going to be converted into

710
00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:30.599
estrogen in the fat tation, So you have to be

711
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:32.119
careful with that and you're not going to see it

712
00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:34.519
in the blood. Okay, So can you tell us more

713
00:40:34.519 --> 00:40:38.280
about DHT related to a prostate issues and what need

714
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:40.000
to be done about that to think Now, let me

715
00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:43.920
be clear about this. Testosterone does not seem to and

716
00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:47.159
this is what urologist says. The last I heard is

717
00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:51.039
that testosterone doesn't cause a cancer, but if you have one,

718
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:54.760
it may stimulate its growth. Right, So that's what you

719
00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:57.159
want to know. If you're on testosterone, I'm telling it's

720
00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:00.480
going to cause cancer, but you do want to make

721
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:03.000
sure you don't have too much because let me tell

722
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:09.360
you is that the prostate is embryologically like a woman's uterus,

723
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:13.519
so it is actually it is actually sensitive to estrogen. Okay,

724
00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:18.360
So it's not really high testosterone. It's really too much

725
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:24.119
estrogen that can stimulate the growth in the prostates. So

726
00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:26.039
you want to look at all of those hormones and

727
00:41:26.159 --> 00:41:28.519
know this is not a men's saliva test or a

728
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:31.400
women's saliva test. You do the same saliva test. Let's

729
00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:33.880
say in third world countries, the concept of saliva testing

730
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:36.760
doesn't really exist. It doesn't exist here. What should I do?

731
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:39.719
I don't trust blood tests because I'm a regular viewer

732
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:43.519
of your podcast. Yeah, I don't know. I think you

733
00:41:44.519 --> 00:41:47.679
were on last week, so I remember. Yet I don't

734
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:50.239
know what to tell you, but you're right, you don't

735
00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:53.519
want to. You can't trust blood tests, Okay. I would

736
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:56.119
tell you that if you weren't going to do anything,

737
00:41:56.320 --> 00:41:58.280
the safest thing that you could do if you're having

738
00:41:58.360 --> 00:42:02.440
issues is you could try to get progesterone over there,

739
00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:05.960
because a lot of these issues are due to progesterone

740
00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:09.880
going down, and hopefully there are some adrenal supplements and

741
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:12.800
the supplements that you use for quartosol of these adaptagens.

742
00:42:13.079 --> 00:42:15.800
Adaptogens are called adaptagens because they help you to better

743
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:20.159
adapt to stress, and those are things like Gensen, rodeolaquartceps.

744
00:42:20.519 --> 00:42:23.559
All of those can help. We actually have this in

745
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:27.320
a combination because the combination products work better than I

746
00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:31.639
think taking a bunch of separate, separate, different supplements. So

747
00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:34.599
that's what I can tell you. But here's what I

748
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:37.519
want you to understand is that if you understand this,

749
00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:41.199
you will know what to accept and what to reject. Okay,

750
00:42:41.320 --> 00:42:43.960
so you'll know that, Hey, look, if I'm peramental pausal,

751
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:47.719
it's not. It doesn't necessarily mean I'm lowering the estrogen.

752
00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:49.920
But I told you that one hundred percent of women

753
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:53.119
will stop ovulating, So one hundred percent of women will

754
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:57.119
the progesterone will go down, and usually the progesterone goes

755
00:42:57.159 --> 00:42:59.079
down more than the estrogen. So now you have an

756
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:02.039
imbalance in how you correct it. Is you try to

757
00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:05.639
take progesterone. Now in the third world country there, if

758
00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:08.360
there's a you may be able to find Chase berries.

759
00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:13.199
Chase berries is a berry that actually increases your progesterone.

760
00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:16.679
So that's something you could use even if you don't

761
00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:20.760
you know, don't have a doctor who'll prescribe it. And

762
00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:23.320
when you're taking something like that, your body kind of

763
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:26.480
is able to self regulate it instead of me giving

764
00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:28.159
you a dose of something, and it may be too

765
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:31.960
high or too low. Chase berries can help with and

766
00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:34.599
you may find it in I know one of the

767
00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:37.519
products is called Bytex and we also have Chase berries

768
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:39.679
in a product we have in Tailor MD formulations called

769
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:42.440
Latex and you know, you can go to all my

770
00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:45.599
links and you can see everything that we offer, so

771
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:48.159
I would encourage you to do that. I also want

772
00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:52.400
to encourage you to subscribe to my YouTube channel, subscribe

773
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:55.920
to the podcast, follow me on TikTok. I told you there,

774
00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:58.599
I was talking about pm d D and got a

775
00:43:58.760 --> 00:44:02.559
crazy response. So these horrormone issues are important. That's why

776
00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:05.320
I'm on here every week. They're important. So tell somebody

777
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:08.119
else about it, send it to them, show on my

778
00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:12.119
YouTube channel. I got so I got so many videos

779
00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:15.000
on there, and it's all just trying to educate you

780
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:17.280
so that you can go into the doctor with confidence.

781
00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:19.880
When I first started this, the first lecture I ever

782
00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:22.760
gave was to lay people was I could make you

783
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:25.199
an honorary gown of collegist. I can make you an

784
00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:28.400
honorary gown of collegist if you understand these harborones, you

785
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:32.159
understand how to test them, and you can help somebody else.

786
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:35.440
Because I hope you're learning enough on here where you

787
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:38.119
can go and help someone else where you can where

788
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:42.039
go on those Facebook groups and say something. Say tell

789
00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:45.360
them you know, tell them about cortosol, tell them about

790
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:48.559
to get I need people to be on those Facebook

791
00:44:48.599 --> 00:44:51.199
groups to help those women, because a lot of these

792
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.559
Facebook groups they won't let a man a man comment,

793
00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:57.480
But this one I get to see some of the

794
00:44:57.920 --> 00:45:00.559
some of the posts, and all of the them are

795
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:04.360
just so confused, and I want, I need somebody to

796
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.480
be the voice of reason on these Facebook groups. And

797
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:09.920
I hope I'm teaching you enough to do that. So

798
00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:13.199
if you're still on here, give a comment that you say, yeah,

799
00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:15.960
I'm going to tell somebody else about this, okay. So

800
00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:18.440
I hope that's what you do if you had questions.

801
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:23.039
Believe me, your friends have questions, your girlfriends, your church members,

802
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:28.119
everybody has questions. And again, I hope that this is

803
00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:33.320
something that Broughton's your horizon. And even though I know

804
00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:36.760
that most of the information that you're going to see

805
00:45:36.760 --> 00:45:40.119
on the Internet is only going to talk about estrogen,

806
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:43.639
and they may talk about testosterone, you're going to hear

807
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:47.719
very little about progesterone and cortisol. And I believe that

808
00:45:47.920 --> 00:45:51.840
is the main cause of the diffusion of the confusion.

809
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:54.559
All right, So hello, doctor Taylor, thank you for making

810
00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:58.480
harmone education free and accessible. Your work is creating global awareness,

811
00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:00.400
and we're grateful to be learning from you. All right,

812
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:03.880
thank you, thank you so much. And again, sometimes I

813
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:06.400
get up here and I'm like, oh, I hope this

814
00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:09.920
is helping somebody, But I'm dedicated to this. I'll keep

815
00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:12.719
showing up. I'll keep showing up as long as there's

816
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:17.159
confusion about hormones. And that seems to not end quickly.

817
00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:20.480
So it's almost time to go. Hey, Reubell, you have

818
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:21.719
any comments before we leave.

819
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:25.199
Wow, so much is packed in here. We have a

820
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:30.280
lot of guys asking about that testosterone issue in men.

821
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:33.840
So I don't mean to scare you. You guys, Okay, I

822
00:46:33.840 --> 00:46:36.000
don't mean to scare you, but I would tell you

823
00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:39.199
that you want to get tested to make sure you're

824
00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:42.960
not converting it into estrogen. So if you're a testosterone

825
00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:44.639
I'm not telling you to stop. I'm not telling you

826
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:47.599
the dangerous or anything. But I will tell you is

827
00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:50.559
that here's what happens. When you do your initial blood test,

828
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:56.800
your testosterone may be legitimately low. However, if you take testosterone,

829
00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:59.320
the blood level is not necessarily going to give you

830
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:01.760
an accurate out. And it's the same way with men

831
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:05.119
as in women. By the time the testosterone level gets

832
00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:08.079
up in the blood. I'm not saying all the time,

833
00:47:08.519 --> 00:47:13.079
but sometimes the saliva will show that you're severely overdosed,

834
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:15.719
and that's why you're not getting the same result from

835
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:18.599
the testosterone. Because what happens is you go, you come

836
00:47:18.639 --> 00:47:20.920
in a year or two later, and you say, hey, Doc,

837
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:23.039
this is not doing for me what it used to.

838
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:26.960
The doctor increases the level and then that doesn't help anything.

839
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:29.920
Now he's more overdosed, and now he's wondering why the

840
00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:34.280
testosterone doesn't work anymore. It's because he's gotten too much.

841
00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:39.000
And I've seen guys their their saliva. I'm sorry, their

842
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:42.760
blood level can be really high and they still have

843
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:46.360
no libido because they've gotten desensitized to it. So I

844
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:47.880
want to be clear about that. I'm not trying to

845
00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:51.239
scare guys off of testosterone, but I'm trying to I

846
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:55.119
am trying to educate you into understanding is that once

847
00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:58.599
once you take testosterone that's not coming from your from

848
00:47:58.599 --> 00:48:02.679
your gonads, then the blood is unreliable. Okay, it'll tell

849
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:06.440
you that your go nance are producing the testoster on

850
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:09.800
the initial visit, but then after that, if you're taking

851
00:48:09.840 --> 00:48:14.400
any kind of exogenous testosterone, then the blood is not reliable,

852
00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:15.840
all right, So I know we got to stop this

853
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:19.039
ten til so I'll see you guys next week. Thank

854
00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:21.079
