14
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.880
Here's your host, Doctor Eldred Taylor.
15
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.359
Hello and good morning. I am doctor Taylor. I'm the
16
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:10.319
hormone Doctor and the Spiritual MD. And this may be
17
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.040
one of the most important podcasts that I will do
18
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.480
because this is patient education. And the reason why I
19
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.640
think this is so important is I almost every day
20
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.439
I see a patient that comes in and this is
21
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.239
what really sparked me. I told you, you know, usually
22
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:32.840
Monday or Tuesday, I get an inspiration of what I
23
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.799
should talk about on Wednesday. And so I had a
24
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.040
patient on Monday who I had seen two or three
25
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:43.359
years ago, and I had her hormones al corrected and
26
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.280
she was fine. And this is like two years later,
27
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:48.959
and she came back to me and said, doctor, I
28
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.280
need you again. And she said, you know, I was
29
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.159
on progesterone. I was doing FAN and then I started
30
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.840
talking to my friends and my doctors and they kept
31
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:58.760
telling me, oh, you shouldn't be on that because it
32
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.319
can cause cancer. And she got confused and she stopped,
33
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.599
and now she's miserable and I had to re educate her.
34
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.560
So one of the reasons why I started this podcast
35
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.520
and I'm on all the social media is because I
36
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:19.039
need patients to understand their body and not be influenced
37
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:24.319
by anybody, not a doctor, not a friend, not a relative,
38
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.840
no one. That you are the expert on your body
39
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.960
and I can teach you. I did a I used
40
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:32.479
to do a lecture and I'm going to start at
41
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:36.000
again that I can teach you to be an honorary
42
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.719
gynecologist in about five minutes and four slats. Now, I'm
43
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.159
going to take a little bit longer, but I'm going
44
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:47.400
to really educate you on how the female body works.
45
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.599
And the reason why I'm focusing on females is because
46
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.759
they have the most issues, they go through more changes,
47
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.759
They go through puberty, and it's a little different than men.
48
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:03.199
They have their reproductive cycle that's very delicate, has to
49
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.400
be just right in order for that to work correctly,
50
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.280
and then they have menopause. Now I know men may
51
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.680
have andropause, but it's not as significant. And another reason
52
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.960
why is that there was a study that came out
53
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.319
that said only nine percent of doctors felt like that
54
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:22.000
they could manage menopause. Now, one hundred percent of women
55
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:26.000
who live past forty five are going to go through menopause.
56
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:31.080
So how could ninety one percent of doctors not know
57
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.759
how to handle it? And when I talked to doctors,
58
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.639
and I just talked to a doctor yesterday who wants
59
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.199
to work with me, I can see she doesn't understand menopause.
60
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.759
And that's what I have to teach her. And I
61
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.199
want to teach other doctors. And so if I can't
62
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.800
teach the doctors, and I'll tell you this, it's unlearning
63
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.360
is twice as hard as learning and so whatever the
64
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.479
doctors have learned, it's going to take them some time
65
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.439
to unlearn it. It took time for me to learned
66
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.199
what I did and my residency program, so patients haven't
67
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.199
learned some of this stuff. So I think it's easier
68
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.360
to teach you and you can go in armed with
69
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.159
information that you are one hundred percent certain about, so
70
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.959
that you can discern what is true and what is false,
71
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:22.120
and you can do it. Don't think that because I
72
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.519
have a white coat on, or that somebody else who
73
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.639
you think is smarter than you, tells you something that
74
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.160
is true. It's it doesn't have to be. You need
75
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.240
to know enough that you can make decisions about your
76
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.079
health regardless of whatever is out there on the media,
77
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.079
on TikTok, on Instagram. And I've seen some of the
78
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.839
stuff and it angers me. And I told Rebel before
79
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:49.079
I started this, I'm going to try and get through
80
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.000
this without being becoming angry, because it angers me that
81
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:58.439
so many people are out there just talking nonsense. So
82
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.879
they're trying to promot something that they're trying to sell.
83
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.040
So whatever I tell you today is going to come
84
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.480
straight out of the OBGYN textbook. The textbook that was
85
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.519
supposed to teach any physiology, but it really taught me
86
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.319
more pharmacology. So I'm going to just talk about physiology today,
87
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.759
all right, So I have a lot of information to
88
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.000
get through. I'm actually going to going to make sure
89
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:25.600
that this is on YouTube so you can go back
90
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.600
and reference it. It'll be on the AGI's Blueprint podcast
91
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.639
dot com. I'm going to make clips of it and
92
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.399
reels of it because I really want patients to be
93
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:40.600
able to fill in the gap that these doctors don't know.
94
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.600
Only nine percent of doctors feel like they know how
95
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.560
to handle menopause, and I'll question if either those nine
96
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.480
percent understand it. So anyway, let's let's get started with
97
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.000
the slats. I don't want to feel too much, all right.
98
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.480
That's a little bit bit often because the g is
99
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:01.800
down there. But anyway, learning is remembering. So there's a
100
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.480
quote that says, if you want new ideas, read old books,
101
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.439
and so that's that's why I started the Age's Blueprint
102
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.240
because if you really want to know good new information,
103
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:17.319
you need to go back and look at old information. Okay,
104
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.519
because I'm going to tell you, as time goes on,
105
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.480
things get distorted. So the closer you can get to
106
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.680
the original truth, the better off you're going to be.
107
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.560
So I don't I don't. I don't concern myself with
108
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:36.639
new studies because anytime man is making a study, they
109
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.279
can manipulate it to make it say whatever they wanted
110
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.480
to say. So I want to look at the basic, old,
111
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:47.399
foundational information and that is what you can rely on.
112
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.360
And that's what I learned by going to ancient Egypt
113
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:52.040
and I look at all this stuff. Is you want
114
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:56.839
to go back to remember what has already been discovered
115
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.399
and not always looking for the new thing, right, So
116
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:05.920
learning is remembering. Now, here's another big problem is that
117
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:08.720
popular thinking. I'm going to show you what the popular
118
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.360
thinking is on menopause now. But there is a problem
119
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:17.000
with popular thinking because the problem with popular thinking is
120
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.800
is that it does not require you to think at all,
121
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.120
because it's easier to do what other people do and
122
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.600
hope that they thought it out. And that's the problem.
123
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.519
We look at the news, we look at these expert panels,
124
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.720
we look at doctors and we like, oh, I know
125
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.040
they thought it out. Or you look at your friends
126
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.839
and family, Oh they've been through menopause and they did this.
127
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.720
So they know more than I do. But that's not
128
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:47.279
the case. You need to think for yourself. Don't assume
129
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.000
that somebody else has thought it out for you. You
130
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:56.560
need to be the master of your self, of your body.
131
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.120
You need to know your body. You do know your
132
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.120
body better than anybody else. And when somebody tells you
133
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.920
it's just normal or it's just aging, you need to
134
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.959
fight against that and say, no, I know my body.
135
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.199
I don't care what you're telling me. Something is wrong.
136
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.720
Because the doctor is usually telling you that you are
137
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.720
not sick, but you know that you are not well,
138
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.079
and that is the key. You want to be well,
139
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.839
you want to be whole. And I will tell you
140
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.439
in medical training that is not taught. We are taught.
141
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.360
I'll just give you an example. When you are in
142
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.200
medical school, you're primarily in the hospital. So in the hospital,
143
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.240
you're taking care of sick people. You're taking care of
144
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.360
people who need a hysterectomy, you're taking care of people
145
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.000
who need the baby delivery, You're taking care of people
146
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.159
who have abnormal papsmens. You have all of this. But
147
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.320
in the real world, when you're in the office, patients
148
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:57.879
aren't hospital sick. Okay, they have functional problems. They have
149
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.240
things that aren't functioning correctly, but they're not at the
150
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.240
stage of disease. So the popular thinking is to treat
151
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.720
people like they are sick. Okay, So that's why you
152
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.279
get all these drugs and they suggest surgery and all
153
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:17.440
of this. Because we are primarily trained in the hospital,
154
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:19.879
we don't do a lot of office work. So when
155
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:22.399
I got into the office and I saw all of
156
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.840
these problems, I really didn't know what to do. Okay,
157
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:27.840
I'll just be honest with you, and so we just
158
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.759
throw drugs at you because that's what we did for
159
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.840
sick people, all right. So when they say that you're normal,
160
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.720
they're just saying you're not sick. But again, you know
161
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.080
you're not well. So let's go to the next life.
162
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.240
So here's popular thinking. I don't know why this got
163
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.519
off like this where my letters are off, but never man,
164
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.639
this is the information that's important. So here's popular thinking.
165
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.799
You measure hormones in the blood wrong, give estrogen and
166
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.159
testosterone and pellets. I can't tell you how many times
167
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.360
I've heard people talk about I got pellets for estrogen
168
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:08.519
and testosterone. And pellets are not magic. Pellets are just
169
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:12.720
this new thing that people are promoting. Doctors can get
170
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.039
paid for it. The company. There's a company out that
171
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.360
is really promoting this. But there's nothing magic about pellets.
172
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.480
What is magic is balanced, and we want to always
173
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.480
balance hormones. And the only way you can balance hormones,
174
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:29.840
the only way you can balance anything, you have to
175
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:33.600
measure it appropriately. Okay, you can't balance something if you
176
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.080
can't measure it. So they also they give progesterone orally,
177
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.039
which is fine, but here's what doesn't make any sense.
178
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.799
You give pellets because you only have to do that
179
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.440
every three or four months. Okay, you come in, you
180
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.399
get the pellets put in. You don't have to worry
181
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.360
about anything for three or four months. So that increases compliance.
182
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.879
But the problem is most people don't have progesterone pellets.
183
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.000
I can offer those, but they don't have progesterone pellets,
184
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.440
so you have to take the progesterone orally. Still have
185
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:02.960
to rely on you to do something every day. And
186
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.519
I'll just tell you, the more a doctor has to
187
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.799
rely on a patient to do something, the less likely
188
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:10.519
it's going to get done. So a lot of times
189
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.399
these patients they have the pellets, but they don't do
190
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.879
the progesterone orally just because life gets busy and they
191
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.120
don't do it. And now you're dealing with unopposed estrogen,
192
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:23.480
which is always not a good thing, and you'll see why.
193
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:27.200
And then I keep seeing that testosterone is important for energy,
194
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.000
and I will tell you that that is not the case.
195
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.519
And I'm going to try to get to that point too,
196
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.320
is that testosterone is not important in women for energy.
197
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.399
The problem is qurtisol. But most people don't test for
198
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:44.039
cortisol appropriately, so they don't see that that is the
199
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:47.000
real problem. And I can do a whole podcast just
200
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.519
to show you the importance of cortisol and energy and
201
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:53.039
how you correct it. But giving testosterone for energy is
202
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.159
not supported by the literature. I'm just telling you it's not.
203
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.600
All right, So let's start with the first part, thinking
204
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.840
that you can measure hormones in the blood. And this
205
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:09.279
is from SpeI off the textbook on gyn Interchronology and Infertility.
206
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.759
And this is an old book. It was in nineteen
207
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.200
ninety four. But let me tell you, blood and serum
208
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:19.159
has not changed since nineteen ninety four. Okay, so just
209
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:23.320
because this is what thirty years old doesn't mean it's outdated.
210
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:27.120
It's always been like this, Okay, So it's unable to
211
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:31.360
easily distinguish between bound and free estrogen and testosterone. It
212
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.759
has a large normal range, and this is the key
213
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:39.639
provides limited clinically useful information. Okay. So if someone is
214
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:44.360
drawing blood on you, they're not getting any significant clinical information.
215
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:49.039
They're just not And that's why in a gyn residency
216
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.360
that I did at Emory University right down the street
217
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:54.480
from where I am now, we never were taught to
218
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.919
draw blood levels. Never, okay, because it didn't tell you anything.
219
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.440
And I can go into the reasons why it's fat
220
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:06.879
soluble against water soluble. Hertmones are fat soluble, and I'm
221
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.000
going to show you this and why I do saliva testing.
222
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:13.240
It's based on physiology. But if you are having your
223
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.759
heartmones tested by blood, I'm just going to tell you
224
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.120
the doctor is guessing. You're being treated by trial and error,
225
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.120
and they say, I go by symptoms. So if I
226
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:25.000
give you a dose of something, I have to wait
227
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:27.240
and see what kind of symptoms you have before I
228
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.559
change it, And then I have to change it again,
229
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:31.799
see what kind of symptoms you have. Do you know
230
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.679
how much time can pass when you're doing trial and error,
231
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:37.039
and I hear patience all the time. Oh, my doctor
232
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.679
keeps adjusting my dose. If you had good testing, you
233
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.840
wouldn't have to keep adjusting the dose. I hardly ever
234
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.159
have to adjust the dose because I can test it
235
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.840
and see where the imbalance is, and most of the
236
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.120
time I can get it right the first time. So
237
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:55.200
that's the difference. All right. So this is what I
238
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:59.919
want to teach you is what is the minstreal cycle.
239
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.559
The only reason why women have mistral cycles is to
240
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:08.320
get pregnant. Okay, that is for reproduction, and this is
241
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.000
how it works, and I'm going to show you a diagram,
242
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:12.879
but I want you to take a note of this
243
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.679
is that estrogen is dominated the first two weeks of
