Hormone Confusion Is Ancient—Here’s How We End It

For thousands of years, women’s bodies have been interpreted through incomplete theories, cultural beliefs, and fragmented medicine. Dr. Eldred Taylor traces the history of hormone confusion from ancient civilizations to today and explains why understanding the menstrual cycle, ovulation, progesterone, estrogen, stress, and proper testing changes everything. The goal isn’t to fear hormonal transitions—it’s to finally understand them.

0:58 Here's your host, Doctor Eldred Taylor's. Hello, Good morning. I am doctor Taylor, the Harmone Doctor and the Spiritual MD, and this is Wednesday, so it's time for the Ageless Blueprint. Now I'm in a little different setup, you know what I figured out. I'm in my home. I want to kind of connect and not necessarily be the doctor or the authority figure and just kind of, you know, we have some discussions because I want to be a communicator, you know, I don't want to be an educator. Educators can make a lot of things very difficult and hard to understand. So I like to take things that seem to be complex and confusing and try to break them down and communicate them so where anybody can understand it. So that's why I'm in my study. We're going to do a little history lesson today.

1:51 We're talking about how harmone confusion is not a modern thing. It has been around since the beginning of time. You know, there's all of these these archaeological digs and they're finding things out about these ancient civilizations and what they thought and all that, and so it's really it's really interesting how harmone confusion is not something that I just started. This has always been confusion, and primarily it's because men have been trying to understand women and to try and write it down and make sense of it. And that's where the problem is, is that men trying to understand women, and I think that has made it where women have had a hard time trying to understand themselves. So that's what we want to talk about today. So let's get started, all right, Let's go to that first lad, all right, can't you make that? All right? So I'm gonna put my glasses on make sure I can see. Is so harmone confusion? It is ancient, and I believe it's time to end it. And so that's what I'm trying to do, is to end harmone confusion, all right. So this is why I say, you see a man trying to write it down and understand it and anatomy, and that has kind of been the issue, is that men trying to understand women. And I always say, hey, look, I'm a man, I'm obgyn And I know you might say, oh, what does he know? But I tell you I've spent a lot of time trying to understand how the female body works so that I could help women do better, okay,

3:23 feel better and not feel and feel like themselves again. So what we want to do now is try and end that confusion. All right. So now history didn't begin with Rome and Aristotle. You know. One of the most exciting things I've ever done is go to Egypt and you will see that, you know, before the Greeks and the Romans, women were passing down knowledge or whoever. The hieroglyphics they had a lot of symbols about women and their flow and you can see, you know, it's like waters that flow and pregnancy. And back in Egypt, you know, they really they really seemed to honor women because they saw them as being able to create life. Okay, and and so the Egyptian civilization was built on that the ground was was giving them life. And so they worshiped.

4:14 I almost say they worshiped, but they honored anything that gave life. So that was their understanding of women. And see, even back then, you know, the symptoms were real, all right. Uh, they still had mistial cycles, they still probably had pain. There was still issues with infertility. If you weren't able to bear children, you were sometimes looked at its being deficient. Uh you had pregnancies. I'm sure that there was mood changes. That's why they thought that some women were possessed during that time and women were burned at the state thinking they were witches whatever. Uh. There there's energy changes and life transitions. You know, they went through puberty and like all of a sudden, what's going on? You know, and then how do we get pregnant?

4:56 What's what's going on? How do we maintain a pregnancy. So they had to try and figure all of that stuff out. We think it was like, oh, everybody always knew that. No, that's not the case, right, and then every era has an absolute truth. Okay. Back then, all they could do was observe, you know, they observed the stars and how the moon you know, arranged itself. And so what happens is they would observe something, they would match it with the minstral cycle or whatever, and then they would have an explanation and they would you know, say that this is how it is, and then that would be accepted as truth, and then they would have to try to correct it after they found out more information.

5:36 That's what we keep doing, and we've been doing that for over ten thousand years. We uh, you know, we come up with some observation. We like to have cause and effect. Okay, so this happened, that was the cause, this is the effect. And so that's all you had when you didn't have real science. Right. So there are some ancient theories of the female body. And I can't see the top of this, but back in I think this is Aristotle, is that they thought male equal form. Okay, great, thank you Aristotle. All right, so a male equal form or active principle female equal matter. But so they had their thoughts and there, and this is how, especially in ancient Egypt, they thought about female and male energies and whatever, and so women were believed to be colder, and so minstrel blood was interpreted inside that model that they were losing heat, so they weren't as active as males, and so they were kind of looked down upon. Not like the Egyptians who thought that being able to create was something sacred, they thought it was something that needed that the body was correcting itself and also making them less active as men. So that's the beginning of kind of the subjugating women based on the fact that they have minstial cycles, all right. And then in the human this is more of what you would think about agent when they talk when you talk about Chinese medicine, they talk

7:09 about excesses and balances and heat and all of this, and so that was another thought process, all right. So that in some cultures that was what everybody believed, and that's what they thought, and so they based their treatment of women on what they believed. Now and in some societies they thought that excess blood caused illness, and that menstruation was looked like the body restoring balance. So and if you didn't have a cycle, they felt like you were out of balance. And some of that has continued. Women think if and I see this all the time, if they don't have a cycle, they think something is out of balance. They think something needs to be released.

7:50 And so that can be a part of it. But that's not all of the framework. And that's what I'm saying. We would take small parts and then we would look at uh, we would make that and then we would expand it. And so we need to not just look at one thing and think there's a cause and effect with everything. All right. So so before there were controlled experiments, and I also want to say, hey, look, if you have questions, put them in the chat. There's two things I want to do. Is if you had questions from last week, I want you we're going to go over those. But I also I want you to if you have questions, just put them in there. We'll and we will answer those at the at the end. Now, before there were controlled experiments, all you had you observe things. You're like, okay, this happened, and what caused it, and then a lot of it was just coincidence, and then you would make a story, and then that story would be repeated and it will go down from generation to generation, and then all of a sudden it's accepted as being truth. So when you don't have good evidence, you just make up stories.

8:58 And our brain is good at make up stories and trying to look at patterns and trying to look at cause and effect. And again, when you don't have good data, you will make up stories that fit whatever your environment is. Right. So because of that you get all of these different thoughts about menstruation. Okay, some people thought it was dangerous. Okay that, and I think sometimes it's because the mood changes and the women may have gotten upset or whatever, so they thought it was dangerous. Some people thought it was impure. It was impure, and they thought that hey, if you got exposed to minstrel blood, that it could kill crops, and it could bring bad luck and all of these things. So it's all how you observe things.

9:45 And if something coincidental happened around a mistal cycle, then they would say, okay, well then that's what mistial cycles are. And then some thought it was sacred like the Egyptians, and then some thought it was powerful that they had all of these They had all of this extra sensation. They could feel things and predict things. And that's why men have been so have been so intrigued by women and can't understand them because they have intuition, they can sense things. They would talk about how the plants would tell them what is safe and what is not safe, and what would work to help their minstrel cramps and all this, and women could were more connected to nature and how they felt. And so this was one of the reasons why I think men tried to put women to the side or make them lesser than because they saw that they had wisdom and intuition that it was very hard for them to connect to and for women it was just just natural right. And see, this is the other thing. Education was once said the damage of women's fertility. You know, so that's a you know, that's a assumption that just doesn't make sense. And that was that's another way you can say, Okay, this damages her fertility.

11:06 And believe me, the number one thing in ancient times was being able to reproduce, to be able to carry the species on so if it was important, because it was so important to be fertile, then they were like, oh, education, these women are too smart, they are is damaging their fertility. And I won't say, but some of that may be true. And I'm talking about the performance high performing women. Okay, high performing women. They have difficulty ovulating, and so that may have been a cause and effect that these smarter women are. These women with more education, they don't seem to be able to get pregnant as much. And that can be that can be true, but we just need to understand the whole framework around it. All right, all right, so how can old ideas survive? Well, here's how it happens. Okay, you have some thought process in some authority, some man writes down or some whatever they write down in an authority figure. And in our times, the authority figures are you know, the universities and all of these boards and all of the opinion makers. So an authority says something, and a lot of times it's based on tradition or incomplete frameworks. And if you have limited technology to explain it or to you know, discover what is actually going on, and you don't have proper endo chronology and even today, we don't have proper endo chronology. You don't have any

12:38 trials and you don't have a better explanation. So the authority and the tradition rules. So that's how that happens. Now, this is the women's side of the story I talk about. Men try to describe it and women lived it. So in ancient times, they would isolate women. Some would isolate them as because they thought they were dangerous, and the other isolated them because they wanted them to rest and have some privacy. And what happened is is that these women would get together and they would menstrate together, and they would tell stories and they would talk to each other and they would get through it. They would figure out how did one person handle their mistal cycle because remember back then there was no protective pads and tampons and anything, and so they would have their mistroal cycle.

13:33 They would figure out how to correct it, how to figure out how to get rid of the pain. That's what they would do, all right. So that's how women got through it. Men were trying to understand it, and women just survived it, and they lived it and they found remedies and they found some solace because they were together. It was a community. They were all experiencing something together, and we are so society and connected. Is that that helped them get through it all? Right? Now? They may not have known endochronology, but they knew that isolation was harder than connection, that if you do this by yourself, it's much harder than if you do it with other women.

14:18 And women need other women. Okay, it's just it. Women like to talk. Women talk, okay, because women share their feelings. Men try to understand women, okay, and they try to provide a solution. And women feeled each other's emotions and they share their sorrows, and they share their insecurities and men don't do that. And women, because they're comfortable with their emotions, they seem to get along better. Okay, So let's go and see. I used to wonder why everybody was going to these Facebook groups, but now I understand. Okay, this is the new commune. What I'm telling you. There's so many Facebook groups on there with women talking to women about their test results, their symptoms. What are you doing?

15:11 What is this doing? Now? I understand It's like, why are all these people going to Facebook groups? They're going there because evolution wise, that's how you dealt with your minstrel cycle is you talk to other women. And so now I understand that, and that's why I'm trying to recruit women to understand this, so that when they're having their communals, communal meetings, whether it's on Facebook or whether it's in a women's group or whatever, is that they're the ones who are the authority and they're the ones who are giving good information. So now this information gets passed on like it should like it like it really like it really is okay, and not based on observation and cause and effect, but just based on what is all right? Eight ros? Does that make sense to you? Now?

16:03 I understand. I used to talk about why are all these women on Facebook? Why are all these women on Instagram? Why are they on YouTube? Trying to figure this out? That's how that's how women are, That's how they're designed. Does that make sense to you, Ros? It definitely does. Definitely makes a little bit of sense there. But the problem is when they twist it all together, the man's thinking and the women's thinking somehow another we still got handed down. This is supposed to These supposed to's got put in people's heads. And there is no supposed to in this situation? Is that correct? Well, when you say supposed to, how is a missile cycle supposed to happen? There is a pattern or what do you mean?

16:45 What do you mean the things that people tell each other, like, oh, well you know when you hit this age, this is gonna happen, And there's no there's no guarantee that everybody's gonna go through any of this the same exactly. And this is why I'm saying, when you understand the basics, you'll understand why one person can go through their mistal cycles and all this and be totally fine, and another person will have all kinds of problems. And remember, you know my always, my number one cause and effect is stress. Okay, So if you're just going through this and there's no other stressors, usually you can get through this as fine. But most of the time there's other stressors. It's not just your minstral cycle. And see, back then they didn't have all of What they did was they tried to survive, and they tried to help their children survive, and that was it. Okay, So back then there was not a lot of other stressors. You were just dealing with your mistral cycle and then the other thing that would happen when they were off in these huts. They were all that was like in some cultures that that was kind of a vacation because they didn't have to deal with children.

17:53 A lot of times grandma other people in the community was taking care of their children while they were off at the minstral huts, and they rest and they could have they could have a little bit of rest and relaxation, and it wasn't looked upon as something to dread, but it was almost looked upon as something to look forward to because it was a break from all your other problems. So anyway, so let's keep going. Now here's here's the other thing that's really really important. So back then there you didn't have a mistial cycle every month case, so I just think when you're pregnant, you don't have a menstal cycle. And back then everybody was breastfeeding and sometimes they were rest for eeding for two three years. All of that time, you're not having a minstal cycle, so you didn't have to worry about cramps, you didn't have to worry about any of that stuff, all right, So those people would have a mistal cycle maybe two or three times every three to four years. They weren't having a minstal cycle every month. Okay, So in that case, when you're not having a minstal cycle, you don't have to worry as much about balancing estrogen and progesterone and too much estrogen or whatever. You just didn't have that many mistral cycles to worry about, okay, because you were either pregnant. Now, I will tell you, in my aunts and uncles, they were all about two years apart. And when you look at your your aunts and uncles, they were all about two years apart. Why was that. Well, one they got pregnant, they were pregnant for nine months,

19:25 then they breastfeed, breastfed until they were two years old, and then once they stopped breastfeeding, they might get pregnant again because there wasn't any birth control. So you have to think this is a recent problem, because there are a lot of women who just don't get don't want to be pregnant a lot, and most people have one or two babies. When I had eight aunts and uncle, you know, eight aunts and uncles total, so people had a lot more children. And you'll hear that you know, especially in rural areas, people would have twelve thirteen children. We just think they probably our whole lifetime, they may have had thirty mestal cycles, okay, And you have thirty missal cycles, but in two or three years, okay, And so each time that cycle needs to be balanced. And just think, what's the likelihood of three hundred mistal cycles being balanced where you don't get too much estrads or progesterone, or if you just have ten mistal cycles that you got to worry about. And so that's why I think, you know, you have all these issues withindometriosis and all of this because we are women are having so many mistal cycles. So ros uh, I keep calling you ros rebel?

20:40 Does that make sense that That's one of the things I've been saying for a long time is that you know, these people had all these children, you didn't hear about breast cancers and endometriosis and all that. And that may be one reason why your grandmother and mother can't tell you about your mistal cycles and menopause because they just didn't have that many. So what do you think about about that? Well, let's see, I have to wonder what's more stressful having this many children or having this many periods? That's right, that's right. You know, it's just like, Okay, I'm not having periods, so that's not stressing me out, but what about all these kids? But you see what I'm talking about this, We've got a billion dollar industry trying to help women with their menstro cycles. You can see how that wasn't just that just wasn't a big deal prior to having birth control pills and all of those those kinds of things. So anyway, all right, yeah, so today the cycle is interrupted less often. Women are going into a puberty earlier. That's what menarchy is. So instead of starting menarchy at sixteen or seventeen or starting to peers, just these girls are starting their cycles at eight nineteen years old. So there's fewer pregnancies, shorter breastfeeding duration, longer reproductive life span, and more recurring ovulation and menstruation.

22:00 So modern women experience many more mistial cycles across a lifetime. And I just and again more reoccurring ovulation and menstruation. And I've talked before about how fragile, how fragile ovulation is. Okay, so every time we have to hope that conditions are right so you can ovulate, so you can make enough progesterone. Right, So no cycle is mechanically perfect. And these are all the things that I was talking about can cause a problem. You have brain signals, pituitary timing or varying response ovulation, corporses. Stress does not automatically break the cycle, but it can disrupt a sensitive communication system. So you think about having your pregnancies more mistual cycles, more times that stress could interrupt it. Where you don't ovulate, you don't make enough progesterone, you make too much estrogen, things start to grow like fibroids and endometriosis and breast masses. Right, So that's how you want to look at this, is that you do have to pay more attention to this because it's happening more often, So more cycles require better understanding. You don't want to fear your cycle. You want to understand it.

23:10 You want to understand how stress and inconsistent ovulation and poor recovery and missing education can all cause these problems and symptoms get interpreted separately. And that's the problem I see this all the time, is that women are being sent to the endocrinologists, and then they're sent to the rheumatologists because they're saying they have joint pain. And then they get sent to the whoever, the oncologists because they're worried about a breast mass. They get sent to the primary care doct because now they have thyroid issue, and then they go to it's all of this, and so we're separating these things out, and I see women all the time that have been going to four or five different consults or referrals and they come back and they're still confused because all of this is connected. When you treat one symptom at a time, you're going to have a lot of confusion because treating one symptom is going to affect the other. Right, So more cycles require better understanding.

24:09 So we have all these experts out here, but there's less clarity. And that's why I worry about what's on Facebook. I know you're there, but you'll see one says you got to have estrogen, the other says progesterone, the other says testosterones for energy, and then someone says your labs are normal, and then you just get totally confused. You just don't know what to do now. We talk about we talk about these ancient civilizations and while you know, they're so uninformed and how could they think that, Well, you know, if you talk about that, then then they called it dangerous blood. We say your labs are normal, or we'll just say it's just menopause, or you need testosterone, you need esrogen, it's just stress. We minimize, we minimalize it. Okay, we try to come up with a simplistic answer. So hey, that's it, and and don't worry about it, don't try and understand it. Just go with this, all right, and you can call it this. The words have changed, but the confusion has remained, right, So ten thousand years we've been confused. And I used to say, look, we can figure out how to go to the moon, we can figure out how trying to figure out how to go to Mars. Figure all these things out, but we're still confused about women and their hormones. Doesn't make sense, all right, So what we want to do. We want to complete this incomplete framework. We want to narrow down the questions incomplete measurements. We want to make those measurements more complete.

25:36 We don't want to have fragmented treatment because we don't want to continue the confusion, so we want to do better. Now we got about four minutes before the break, so good. So here's here's my primise. Okay, See, I hear women all the time they say, did your mother teach you about this? Well, one, your mother had a different experience. Okay, she may have had more children, she may have not been exposed to the stress that you are exposed to, so she may have a totally different experience, and she doesn't understand exactly what's going on. She only knows her experience. And so the number one thing she wants to talk about is the hygiene, okay, is how do you clean yourself? All this stuff, but doesn't necessarily talk about physiology because she was never taught it. All right, she knew how to get through it, but she never knew how to actually teach it and to prepare her daughter and her granddaughter for what is to come. Pubidy worrying about reproduction, going through menopause. So menopause is treated as something to endure, and that's not how it should be. Symptoms were hidden, normalized, or dismissed, and so what happens is you do this in isolation, and that causes more stress and problems. Okay, because if you understand things, I tell patients my number one goal is get you to understand what's going on with you, because that's fifty percent of the problem is that you don't understand it all right, So that's what we want to do. And I always, and I say this over and over again, if you understand the mistrial cycle, I used to. I gave a lecture said I can

27:07 make you an honorary gynecologist in four slides in five minutes because I explain the menstrual cycle, how estrogen makes tissue grow, how these cysts make estrogen. So if you have polycystic over you're going to make a lot of estrogen. Things will grow, fibroils will grow, indimudual lining will grow, breast masses will grow. You gotta ovulate in order to make this. So you can make progesterone, so you can slow down the growth, earn fat for energy, promote the gestation. And after fourteen days, if you don't get pregnant, you have another mistrial cycle. If you do get pregnant, progesterone keeps going up and up. You stop ovulating for nine months. You breastfeed and that also stops ovulation, and so you don't have a cycle for two or three years. But it's all based on this. It's all based on this balance here between estrogen and progesterone. And that's what we measure with saliva tel Because now we get a complete framework of what is going on. We can do it at certain times of the cycle. We can get more than one sample. We don't have to get you to draw blood, and it tells us what is happening in the tissue, not in the blood. That's the key, all right.

28:17 So if you understand the miser cycle, that's the original blueprint. Okay, that's what they've been trying to understand. Women have lived it, men have been trying to understand it. It's all right here, this is the blueprint, and I can tell you when something goes wrong, what will happen if you have too much of estrogen and not enough for gesterone, things are going to grow. Okay, that is the blueprint. That's what I want people to understand. So what I've done is I've created a course and I'm creating it. I'm putting the workbooks and everything. This is going to be a paid course not going to be expensive because I want people to learn. I want this to be your textbook. The other reason why I did this is have this I'm on clarity course is because women would come to me.

29:03 I would get them to understand. We would do the test, everything would be fine, and then they would go and hear something on YouTube or the internet or whatever, and they would get confused and they would go and do something else, and then after that didn't work, they would come back to me and say, oh my god, it's looking at all this. And so I want to have something that you have that in your head that you know it is not something is not good enough for you to listen to a YouTube. You need to know this. So I'm having greating a course. Why don't I feel like myself anymore? So you can really understand cycles our relation progester on the course of them sleep, stress, recovery, and the proper testing, okay, the proper testing how to interpret it is going to be a comprehensive course because I want you to know this. I want end harmone confusion.

29:53 So this QR code here, you can you can take a picture of it and you can join the way you can go to all of my links, go to school, just tell me. Two things I want to is that this is something I hope you're interested in, and I want some feedback so I can know exactly what questions that you need answered and so we can answer them. I'm also going to put like a chat GPT in there so you can ask it some of these questions. So that's what we're building. I'm serious about ending harmone confusion, So how do we end generational harmone confusion? Women cannot teach their daughters what they never taught themselves. So I also I'm if you've seen some of my previous podcasts, I'm recruiting people who can go to workplaces and churches and women's organization professional groups and teach this. I will you know I'm reaching out, but I also want I would love for women to be talking about this. So that's why I'm trying to get a collection of women coaches that can learn this and can go to work and churches and women's organizations where they may not listen to me because I'm a man. Is that I'm creating a group of people who can go out and teach this and woman to woman because that's how it's more comfortable.

31:13 All right, So that's what I'm trying to do. So what were you never talked? So we're going to go to break and either rebel if we have some questions, let's talk about this, okay, and let's talk about the questions that people may have. Of course, if you have questions about that, that would be great. So let's go to break. I know I'm a little bit over, but I wanted to get through this. All right. We are going to a quick break, So stay with us as we explore the ageless Blueprint right here on W FOURHC Radio and Talk for TV. An ancient secret with a modern twist for better health and vitality.

32:48 Okay, hey, rebel, I see that there are some questions over here on the comments, and I see you have some other ones. Those are probably from last week. Is that correct? Correct? That's covers ones? Okay, So hey, why don't you? Can you put it up? Okay? How does stress affect hormone balance? Oh? I hope you can. Please sign up for my YouTube or subscribe to my YouTube. Is Ageless Blueprint one. I have a lot of things that talk about stress and how it affects harmone balance. It affects it almost completely. We wrote two books. One is all your Hormones making You Sick. The other one is called the Stress Connection, and stress is connected to everything. So when you're stressed, you don't ovulate. When you don't ovulate, you don't make progesterone. So that's how it affects it.

33:31 When you don't make progesterone, you're going to feel out of balance. See, you may have irregular bleeding, you may have fibroids, you may have you know, all the things that you that I've been talking about with harmony imbalance. So yeah, stress is the number one thing you want to try and handle and it can definitely affect your reproductive cycle. Right, So what's the next question. My doctor says, I'm too young for menopauset? Why am I having these symptoms? Again, that is one of those simplistic statements because we're not using the right test. And believe me, saliva test is how we end this confusion. I've been doing it for twenty five years. If we get enough good information, we can make good decisions. But there's so much confusion. I always this is my motto. It's the wrong test, the wrong hormones. We don't understand. We do understand, we just don't implement it. That soluble hormones, you can't look for them in the blood. I'm not telling you saliva is perfect, but it's much better than blood and it can tell you you may not be in menopause. You just may not be having heerious because of stress. And one test you should do is call the FSA, so that will tell you whether or not you're in menopause or not.

34:43 All right, so let's go to the next question, how to know if my wife's symptoms are stress aging or hormone related. Okay, hey, look three things. Okay, you need to do the testing. Okay, if you do the testing, you understand what I'm talking about. Please get your wife, and you need to even come to the course. I actually just created a document called a Man's Gods to a Man's God to Women's Hormones, and so that's also a part of the course, so where he understands and she understands what's going on, and that will settle a lot of conflict that happens based on hormones, because you see this guy is asking, how do I know if my wife's symptoms are due to this or the other? Well, a lot of men are asking that. That's what I asked twenty five years ago. How do I know if these symptoms have something to do with what I'm doing or not doing trying to help my wife being an obgyn.

35:35 So men are very concerned. I'll hear from patient's spouses, thank you for giving me my wife back. And that's why I said, why don't I feel like myself again? And then I'm going to have the second part of the courses, how do I feel like myself again? So we're going to talk about all other things we can do so that you can understand what's going on, you can anticipate what needs to be done, and you don't have to rely on somebody on Facebook or some doctor who may not be as informed as you are right now. Right, So that's that's the goal. All right, we have some more questions, yes. Okay, next question, why do women think there has.

36:16 To be why do women think? Well, because things do change. I talk about cycles, balance and transitions. Okay, your cycle will change. At first, you have no cycles. Then you go through puberty, you have cycles. You start to get into the cycle. That's a transition. When any whenever there's a transition, there can be some rough sailing. So you get these irregular imbalances in your heartmones. So then you go into your reproductive agent. Because you're having so many cycles, you have to make sure that there's balance in each one of those cycles. Okay, so that's you know, so you have to you know, that's a that's a big, a big percentage. You know, you got to make sure all those when you don't have as many cycles, is not as big of a deal. And then menopause is that there is a chance you're going to the non reproductive stage. Those transitions can be bumpy, but if we test right, we can smooth out those bumps through perimenopause and puberty and menopause. So if you have the information and you see whether the imbalance is in those transitions, those changes or transitions don't have to be as turbulent.

37:22 They don't have to be They don't have to affect you as much and affect your relationships, especially your most important relationships. All right, next question, do. All women go through the so called change? All women will stop ovulating, okay, if you live long enough. Okay women, if you live long enough, ovulation will stop. And ovulation means making an egg, so beeing pregnant. But that doesn't mean missile cycles stop. When ovulations stop, that's what happens with perimenopause. You may not ovulate, and so now you have a period, okay, but that doesn't mean that you and just because you have a period doesn't mean that you're fertile or that you're ovulated. All right, So all women will stop ovulating? And this is what a message I'm trying to get across. Estrogen is made by the fat tissue, even during menopause, but you can't see it in the blood. You can, you can't see it in the saliva, all right, So estrogen can still be made. Progesterone is only made when you ovulate. So if one hundred percent of women will stop ovulating, that means one hundred percent of women will stop making significant amounts of progesterone. And they don't have a backup system like estrogen does. So all women will stop ovulating. And I can say all women will start stop making a significant amount of progesterone, but I can't say that about estrogen.

38:39 And that's what you need to understand. Just because you're going through mental or you've gone through menopause and stopped having a cycle, does not mean you don't have any estrogen on board. Right, So next question, we have. Some from the looks like YouTube. Do these tests require special preparation? Hey, if you get the test, the saliva test, look, I would love to show you and if you take the course, I'll show it. You'll be able to interpret it. I will actually give you an interpretation and it's not a diagnosis or anything. I'll just tell you what it shows. What is All's low. That means that forgesterones low. That means that we can talk about different ways you can try and correct it. But yes, they do need some interpretation.

39:20 But I'm gonna tell you the interpretation is not that hard. Okay, there's a ratio between esrage and progesterone. If it's out you can if it's out of range, you can put it back. So believe me, it's not as difficult as guessing or doing trial and error. It's something that anybody can understand. I've been explaining that to patients for twenty five years, and patients go away and they can understand it. So all right, next question, how do. Men fair during a woman's change? Well that's the key. That's why I said you have to have a man's guide to hormones in women, because, believe me, she's at a sensitive stage and what you can say and what you shouldn't say is very important. Okay, so you want to understand you don't want to say certain things, So why are you acting so crazy? No, you need to understand it. You need to help support her.

40:13 So that's why I have included this man's god to hormone replacement, because or not to hormone replacement, a man's god to women's hormones. So they understand these cycles and changes. They need to understand it, and their children and their daughters is understand what's going on with them. So it's very important I think for men to understand this also, and I would love it for the woman to give the man that handout. And it's very extensive, and again I want people to have the information. So this is a good thing for single dads to know they can help their daughters through things that they have really no clue on how.

40:54 To do this exactly or just get them to take the course. I always said that this should be taught in fifth grade health class. We talk about the hygiene, but we really need to talk about what it means. Is you know what it is going to mean in the future. Is that to understand you know, if you decide to not have children, you need to know that, Hey, look, I need to pay special attention to make sure I'm not making too much estrogen and not enough progesterone. I will tell you the incidents of infertility and indometriosis and hormone problems are very consistent with high performing women. Women who haven't had any children are women who are under a lot of stress. They're also going to have issues.

41:41 So all right, I see we got another question from YouTube? Is that right? Oh? Okay, my insulin levels are high and I've heard that hormone therapy may help in some cases cases. Can you explain how hormon therapy could help improve my insulin resistance? Okay, So you may have PCOS and that causes insulin resistance me. So, yes, stress cortisol can cause insular resistance, so we would look at your cortisol. Also, estrogen store is fat Okay, that fat tissue is inflammatory. It can cause insular resistance. So yes, people with PCOS and PCOS is really a progesterone deficiency, they're the ones who can have insulin resistance. Hey, so what you want to do is you want to make sure your cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone are correct or whether it should be. And that's going to decrease the likelihood of you having the insular resistance because it's going to help you to lose weight, it's going to help you to do all kinds of things, and that's going to help with that particular issue. All right, So I know, so you have some more questions from last week. Who's got about four or five more minutes.

42:50 Okay, let's try that piece together. Okay, why such a change for women? What is the change about? Okay? Again, I know, because that's that's what people said. That's the the story that's been passed down. It's the change. It's the change. Yeah, it's a transition, so we call it the change. Again. You're changing from being reproductive to being non reproductive. That's the change. So what happens your hormones change? Okay, you stopped ovulating, that's the change. Stopped ovulating. Puberty, you started ovulating, you started ovulating, you started making progesteroney, then you went through menopaulis, you stopped ovulating. Those are the changes. Ivulation, no ovulation, that is the change. And it's no progesterone now making progesterone. Yes. I always look forward to your sessions every Wednesday. Thank you for everything you to do. Ah, thank you, Zavia. I'm glad. Say tell somebody else, Okay, take the course. I will put you get on the waiting list. Let's go back to the QR code. Okay, this is the QR code. If you want to be on the waiting list for the course, and I would love for you to join school, join my school. That's where we're going to have it. I'm also going to offer it even if you're not a part of the school. Is that because women need to know this and I'm trying to do it in an organized fashion. So that is if you want to course, guys, do this, take the course. I'll send you The Man's Guide to Women's Hormones. And this is I get invitations

44:25 to speak to groups and even if you have a group of ten or fifteen women, almost like a boat tox party, we can have a hormone party and either I will do it by zoom or out. I'm trying to recruit coaches who can do these courses, and a lot of these coaches already will have some kind of stress management. I'm speaking with somebody this afternoon who has a group of women, and I want to talk to her about Hey, look, I want to educate you so you can educate your women, all right, So that's my goal. I'm really trying to spread this message. It's been too long. It's been ten thousand years that we've been dealing with it. This is too long, and I think we can end this harmone confusion if we just take time to understand it.

45:09 All right. So, I don't want to get always on my soapbox, but Zabia, thank you. It's always you know. I do these and I say I'm going to keep doing them because I'm dedicated to it. But it's always good if your comment say keep up the good work, or or you can tell me, hey, doctor Taylor, you're full of it. This is why. So let's talk about this. Get in the comments, ask questions, whatever, all right, anything? So well? Else we got we got two three more minutes. See what can help get to the root cause of things. Proper testing, proper information, proper questions, proper answers. That's what we're talking about, is that, Yes, to get to the root, cause you don't want to go symptom by symptom. You understand the process. That's that's the key. Understand the process and not just oh I can't sleep, where it's my sleeping pill? Oh I can't wake up? Where's my ADDERO? Okay, I don't have any energy where's my testosterone? Why is the testosterone causing me to have chin hair? Some ladies talking about how much acting she had on the testosterone.

46:16 And this is one last thing. Okay, I saw this on Facebook this morning. Okay, I get I signed up for some of these Facebook groups, so I want to hear what you're talking about. So this woman was saying she was shocked that she had an estrogen positive and progesterone positive cancer because she had been on hormone replacement therapy and she felt great the whole time. It was the best thing that ever happened to her, and she couldn't understand why she had a estrogen positive cancer. Well, the reason why is that you didn't have the information. You may have felt great, but you didn't know it was over stimulating or breast mass. Okay, and so I'm not telling you that was the cause, but if you had known what your hormones were, you would have said, look, I need to correct this now. Again, maybe it didn't have any calls at all, but you can't take this hormone therapy without good testing because you don't know what's happening underneath. Just because something makes you feel good does not make it mean does not mean it's the right thing for you. Alcohol, drugs, all these things. They make you feel good, but it's not necessarily. It's also doing some things underneath that you don't see until they become a problem. I think we have one more question. Your social media team is doing amazing as I've conveying your message.

47:31 Thank you for all the hard work and dedication. All right, thank you. I hope you joined my school. I want you to comment in my school. Hey, I had kind of I had kind of taken a little vacation. I didn't do any podcasts for the month of June all this, but I'm back and ready. I'm ready to get information out there. I got a new energy, I got a new background, and like, I'm going to take away all the fake stuff. I'm going to talk to you one on one and get my message across. All right, Hey, rub Well, you got any partnering shots? And next week I'm trying to see I want to get a couple of patients on. One has been with me for twenty years and she's like, I hear all these other women talking about all these problems, and I've been doing salivitests and all this and I don't understand what's going on with them, and then I have another patient who is new to this. I want to try and compare and contrast those people, any last worse before we go.

48:27 I wish I did, but we are out of time. Okay, all right, I'll see you guys next week. All right, and Zabia, thank you. Hey, tell somebody else about my podcast.
