00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.840
Here's your host, Doctor Eldrid Taylor.
15
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:08.239
Hello, Hello, and happy Wednesday to everyone. I am doctor Taylor,
16
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:13.319
the hormone Doctor, and I'm also the Spiritual MD, and
17
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:18.239
this is the Ace's Blueprint podcast. So this morning, we're
18
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.599
going to give you five easy lifestyle changes that you
19
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:27.599
can start right now to help you to live longer, Okay,
20
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.920
to help you to be ageless, and to be honest
21
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.439
with you. I'm glad I'm doing this podcast today because
22
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.000
in preparation for it, I started examining some of my
23
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:41.640
habits and what I had, what I used to do,
24
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.439
and what I kind of stopped doing, and I in
25
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.359
my preparation, I was like, Okay, I've got to make
26
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.280
some changes. I've got to add some things because I
27
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.519
always like to practice what I preach. You know, in
28
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:58.040
my office, I don't offer anything to patients that I
29
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.480
haven't done myself or my wife is done. So I
30
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.840
want to be able to share my experience with my
31
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.920
patients and with my listeners and the viewers on my
32
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.039
podcast and whatever I do. So I'm going to give
33
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.479
myself a little self examination. I'll try and be as
34
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.319
honest as possible to tell you, Hey, these are some
35
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.719
things that I definitely do, and I'm going to tell
36
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:24.639
you even just this morning, I had kind of not
37
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.319
done my regular walk. So before this podcast today, I
38
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.960
did a twenty minute walk. One of the reasons why
39
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.000
I hadn't been doing the walks because I used to
40
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.680
walk my dog. When my dog is like fifteen years
41
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.840
old and he can't really make it around a mile
42
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.879
and a half course in my neighborhood. So today. I
43
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.080
kind of snuck out this morning and I did my
44
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.680
walk again. So anyway, you know, those little things add up.
45
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.800
That's what I'm going to talk about today. Your habits
46
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.879
make a difference, and you want to try and establish
47
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.919
good habits, and good habits lead to a either, even
48
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.560
if it's not a longer life, it's a healthier life.
49
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:07.919
It's a healthy, happier life when you have good routines
50
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:12.000
and good habits. Bad habits lead to you know, disease
51
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.680
and illness, and good habits can actually lead to good
52
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.800
health and lead to agelessness. Which this is our goal
53
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.400
is that no matter how long we live, we don't
54
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.479
want to age it as everybody wants to live forever
55
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.639
and nobody wants to grow old. So we want you
56
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.520
to live as long as you can. But we don't
57
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.319
want you to feel old. We don't want you to
58
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.240
think old, we don't want you to act old. All right,
59
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.400
So let's go to the last rebel. We're ready, all right,
60
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.000
so hopefully we're going to be able to move through this.
61
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.000
So this is a book that I would recommend or
62
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.319
get it on audiobook or what it's called the Tilamere Effect.
63
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.680
And we're going to talk about what tilameres are, but
64
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.960
this is straight out of that book, so I want
65
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.120
to give credit where credit is due. I would encourage you,
66
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.800
if this is of interest to you, to purchase this book.
67
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.360
This you actually won a Nobel prize for discovering what
68
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.800
tilomeres are, and we're going to talk about what that is.
69
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:13.240
But five easy lifestyle habits, and they really are easy.
70
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.279
The problem is making a habit out of it. That's
71
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.439
the hard part. So it's not anything that really costs
72
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.279
you a lot of money and not it's not very
73
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.920
time consuming. It's just about having those small habits that
74
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.399
add up over time and they can greatly influence your health.
75
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.360
So five easy lifestyle habits that can keep you young.
76
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.519
Discover how your lifestyle choices impact telomeres. You say, what
77
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.360
the heck is tilaman is. We're going to talk about that.
78
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:43.040
They're the protective caps on your DNA that govern cellular aging.
79
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.160
So you realize that, you know, you're constantly regenerating yourself.
80
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.399
You have a whole new set of sales every seven years.
81
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:56.720
Every seven years, you really have a whole new body. Okay, Now,
82
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.759
certain sales will will divide and they will replicate themselves
83
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.800
quicker than others. The cells in your gut, the cells
84
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.120
in your hair, cells in your nails, those all turn
85
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.720
over in a matter of days. But then there's other
86
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:14.639
cells like in your brain and liver, those take longer
87
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:19.279
to totally replace themselves. So it's very important that your
88
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:24.480
DNA is protected because that is the blueprint to keep
89
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.399
you repairing yourself and regenerating yourself. So if you don't
90
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:33.079
have these little protective caps on the ends of your DNA,
91
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.600
and I think the next lite talks about it's like
92
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.000
the caps on your shoelaces. Is that if you don't
93
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.160
have those shoelaces the caps on it, they just s
94
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.000
frazzle out. You can't stick it through the hole in
95
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.519
your shoes, and it just causes a problem. And that's
96
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.959
the same thing with these caps on your DNA, is
97
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.079
that if they're not there, then the division and the
98
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:59.160
replication process it's just afraid, just like on the ends
99
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.920
of a shoe. All right, So let's see if we
100
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.120
can go to the next slide. All right, think do
101
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.319
I have to go into presenter mode to do this?
102
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.839
Let's see, Uh, I think this is what should I do?
103
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.199
Rebel to get the slice. Can you move the slabs
104
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:18.000
for me? But really, okay, let me let me do
105
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:22.560
it this way. Stop screen share. Then I'm gonna share
106
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:24.680
a screen. I know I can do it this way.
107
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.439
All right. So can we see this? Yeah? Can you
108
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:32.680
see that? Okay? Great, but you can't see me right, Okay,
109
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.519
I can't see myself, so I'm gonna make sure I
110
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:37.399
don't do anything weird while I'm doing this. Okay, So
111
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.839
all right, So what a tailor me is? All right,
112
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.079
and you can and you can see my pointer? Okay, great,
113
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.720
all right, because we had a comment last time and
114
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.360
they said can you please use your pointer? So I'm
115
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:52.759
trying to honor honor those so all right, So what
116
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.000
a tailor is. They're protective caps. They shield genetic material
117
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:02.079
at chromosomes ends. They naturally decrease in lengthted by lifestyle factors. Okay,
118
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.920
so you always want to understand that, yeah, you have DNA,
119
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.639
but your genes are not fixed in stone. You have
120
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.000
this all of this information and your lifestyle and the
121
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.680
different decisions you make, and actually the thoughts that you
122
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.600
think they actually decide which one of those genes get
123
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.160
turned on and turned off. Okay, So they naturally shorten
124
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.959
with age, and because you know, we all age and
125
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.439
we all die, but you can either speed that up
126
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:35.120
or slow it down based on these five lifestyle changes.
127
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.800
Are five lifestyle factors. So cellular aging is like a clock.
128
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.079
Telameres dictate, dictate how sales age and function over time.
129
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.560
So think of tailor imas as the protective tips. They
130
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.360
keep your genetic shoelaces from unraveling. All right, all right,
131
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:55.160
So why telamere health matters. It matters because teela middle
132
00:07:55.240 --> 00:08:00.399
length predicts biological age and overall health. Shorter tilamere are
133
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.720
linked to increased disease risk and faster aging. So if
134
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:06.920
you want to live forever, but you don't want to
135
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.000
grow old, and you don't want to be sick, and
136
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.759
I'll tell you the whole reason why I got into
137
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.839
this type of medicine is that I saw what aging
138
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.360
did to my parents. You know, my dad was a
139
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.600
Baptist minister. He was a vibrant, he had this strong,
140
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.160
bold voice, and the last ten years of his life
141
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:31.839
he had kidney failure, prostate cancer, and it just it
142
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.320
sucked the life out of him for the last ten years.
143
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.279
He died at age sixty nine, My mother had dementia
144
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.600
the last four or five years of her life, and
145
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.360
I saw what that did. So when I saw that,
146
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.720
I was like, I went on this journey to how
147
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.000
can I try and change the trajectory of my life.
148
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.480
And I'm sixty five now I feel like I'm in
149
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:57.480
a better state than my parents were. So hopefully this
150
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.279
will continue and I'm trying my best to keep this up.
151
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.559
So if you can do these changes, you can prevent
152
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.200
heart disease. Short teilomeres are associated with the higher risk
153
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.159
of cardiovascu to the disease. This includes conditions like heart
154
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.879
attacks and strokes. And you know, a lot of times
155
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.759
we're you know, we're surprised by when we have a
156
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.960
stroke or when someone has a stroke or heart attack.
157
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:24.120
But a lot of times now sometimes it's beyond people's control.
158
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.840
But a lot of times it's those small habits that
159
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:30.399
we either did or did not implement in our lives
160
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:34.000
that makes us more susceptible to this. So it also
161
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:38.200
increases your risk of cancer compromise. Tila mare health can
162
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:41.720
increase susceptibility to various types of cancers. This may be
163
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.240
due to genomic instability. So again, when those ends afraid.
164
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:52.000
What happens is the genetic material becomes unstable and it
165
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.279
can become damaged and be influenced by certain chemicals and
166
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.320
things in our environment, what we eat or what we breathe,
167
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:02.080
or what we drink. Shorter tela mill length has been
168
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:06.600
shown to increase cognitive decline. Studies show a link between
169
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.080
shorter telomeres and cognitive issues, which includes elevated risk of
170
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:14.679
dementia and age related memory. And it also has a
171
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:19.200
influence on metabolic disease like diabetes. Reduced telomere length is
172
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:22.679
often deserved in individuals with metabolic syndrome. This raises the
173
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.399
risk of diabetes and other related disorders. So your lifestyle
174
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.480
pulls the trigger. Telamere science shows a daily choices matter
175
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:35.200
more than genetic predisposition for healthy aging. So you know,
176
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:37.879
get out of your mind that, oh, my mother had
177
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.399
this or my father had this, so I'm doomed. I'm
178
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.320
going to get it. No, more than likely you have
179
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.399
the same lifestyle factors that your parents had. Are if
180
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:51.120
you are suffering from the same problems that your parents,
181
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.519
our grandparents are, something that seems to come down the
182
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.559
family line, then more than likely it's just because you're
183
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.200
doing the same things. You're doing the same things that
184
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.639
you saw your parents do and your older siblings do,
185
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:08.360
and so it leads to the same outcome. So don't
186
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.360
think of your genes as being something that you have
187
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:14.720
no control over it. You have almost full control of
188
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:18.720
your genes. Okay, you can control almost everything. So your
189
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:21.720
lifestyle pulls the trigger. Now. While genetics play a role,
190
00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:27.440
lifestyle choices significantly influenced Taylor middlength and promote healthier agent. Right,
191
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:32.279
So it's important to know that you can. You have
192
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:36.759
a big influence on your health and your lifespan. All right.
193
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:40.360
So we wrote a book called The Stress Connection. And
194
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.200
when I wrote the book, when when my wife and
195
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.919
I wrote the book, Uh, the reason why we wrote
196
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.000
it is that we saw a study that said seventy
197
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:51.519
five to ninety percent of all visits to primary care
198
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:55.320
physicians are for stress related complaints or disorders. So at
199
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:58.440
that time, I was like, Wow, if I learn about stress,
200
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.480
I'll be able to help seven ninety percent of my patients. Well,
201
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.799
a recent study has come out and says no, ninety
202
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.080
percent of the issues that patients go to doctors for
203
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.919
is related to stress. And when I used to give
204
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:17.039
a presentation. I had a presentation that said that stress
205
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:21.600
will kill you. And this is this is like the
206
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:24.559
number one thing that you have to manage if you
207
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.679
don't want to age prematurely. Okay, and we see that
208
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.919
in our in our president's you know, Obama, all of
209
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.360
the presidents, they get older as they get further into office.
210
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.720
All right, so stress will aid you. Chronic stress is
211
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:46.080
the leading calls of teelor met damage, accelerated cellular aging
212
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.840
up to a decade. So you can age up to
213
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.960
ten years older if you are under chronic stress. And
214
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:58.720
ninety percent of the population is under stress. All right,
215
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:02.679
So how they stress in individuals consistently show shorter telomeres,
216
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:08.639
So chronic stress damages telomeres. Persistent stress causes inflammation directly
217
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:13.720
attacking attacking tilamere integrity and speeding up cellular aging. And
218
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:17.279
when we talk about chronic stress, sometimes it's a long
219
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:21.960
term stressor now like taking care of an aging parent,
220
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.039
are having a sick child, are being in a highly
221
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.120
stressful job for a long time. But then also what
222
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:33.679
seems to affect teilomeres if you have a series of stressors,
223
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.639
you know, a series of relatives dying. I know, during
224
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.759
a four year period in my life, my sibling who
225
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.279
is next to me, she passed away from breast cancer.
226
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.320
My mother passed away, like four or five of my
227
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.279
aunts and uncles passed away all at the same time.
228
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:56.320
So these cumulative things, they add up. And also you know,
229
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.559
if you've been through a bad divorce or in your
230
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.159
chronic dealing with the X or you know, children, those
231
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:08.000
things add up over time. So you know, my stress
232
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:12.600
relief formula is always, if at all possible, get rid
233
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:15.240
of the stress. Okay, and some of the you know,
234
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.960
some of the stresses is societal and family and all this,
235
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:25.000
But then there's also internal stressors and like food sensitivities,
236
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:31.480
like you know, all types of like hormone imbalances, metabolic syndrome,
237
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:36.799
liver problems, detoxification problems. Those are stressors on the body
238
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.399
that you may not know. This chronic inflammation that we're
239
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:42.480
talking about, well, can we get rid of whatever is
240
00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:45.440
causing the inflammation, Can we get rid of the food
241
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.799
that's causing the inflammation, Can we get rid of the
242
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.559
parasite of the bacteria that's causing the inflammation. So, if
243
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.360
at all possible, get rid of the stress. And then
