00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.840
Here's your host, Doctor Eldrid Taylor.
15
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.040
Hello, Good morning everyone. I am doctor Taylor and I
16
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.719
am the hormone Doctor and the Spiritual MD, and I
17
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.280
want to welcome you to the agelest Flueprint podcast where
18
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:19.920
we try to reconnect body, mind and spirit and that
19
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.159
is our mission here. That's why I call I give
20
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.439
myself the two monikers because we want to first start
21
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:28.879
with the body, because that's what I was trained in
22
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.280
in medicine, you know, in medical school or whatever. And
23
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.680
then we want to talk about the mind, and then
24
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.239
we want to get to the spirit. And today we're
25
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:39.640
going to really talk about that basic you know, that
26
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:43.719
basic foundation, which is hormones. You know, that's my basic foundation.
27
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.959
That's how I got into functional medicine. I started learning
28
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.120
about biodemical hormones. We wrote the book Are your Hormones
29
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:52.519
Making Me Sick? Then we wrote the other book, The
30
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:57.159
Stress Connection. So those two are my foundations. And then
31
00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:59.799
from there, once you get those two, once you get
32
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.719
your body and your man straight, then we can talk
33
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.840
about spiritual things because it takes a higher level of consciousness.
34
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.319
In order to do that, you have to think on
35
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.479
a different level. You have to be able to contemplate,
36
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.599
you have to think about things in the future, and
37
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.360
when you're understress, you're only thinking about yourself in this
38
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.439
very second. So we want to get those two straight.
39
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.400
Then we can hit into the spiritual part of this.
40
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.840
And I have a special announcement. I'm going to save
41
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.719
it to the end, but you know I've always said that, Hey, look,
42
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.360
you know, movements start from the bottom up. Okay, they
43
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.360
don't start from the top down. So if you're thinking
44
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.120
that the American College of Obizu n or any kind
45
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.639
of government or any kind of organized agency is going
46
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.280
to really start a movement that's going to help you,
47
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.919
then you're wrong. So at the end, I'm going to
48
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:51.879
talk about how we're going to start a movement from
49
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.400
the bottom up, where I believe that these concepts can
50
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:59.000
be taught to just regular people, non medical people. Is
51
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.560
very simple. I used to do electrical I can make
52
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.120
your honorary gnecologists and four slats in five minutes. And
53
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.080
so we're going to start creating. This is my vision
54
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.120
that we're going to create an army of lay people, women,
55
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:17.360
men who really understand the truth about hormones and how
56
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.439
to how to use them functionally, how to measure them,
57
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.840
how to test them, how to treat them. And I
58
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.080
really think that this can be done. So I'm going
59
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.199
to talk more about this about the end, but we're
60
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.000
going to start off with hormones at first, because actually
61
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.080
I just came back from the Dominican Republican that went
62
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.759
to a wedding of a friend of mine and we
63
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.479
had some rain there, but nothing like what they're experiencing
64
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.199
in Jamaica, and I know I have a lot of
65
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.400
patients who are originally from Jamaica and have family and
66
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.919
friends there. I actually know people who are there, So
67
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.039
I want to, you know, encourage you all that we
68
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.199
pray for them, we think about them, and if there's
69
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.319
any way we can help them in these relief efforts,
70
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.800
that we think about doing that. So I was just
71
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.919
looking this morning about the devastation in Jamaica and it
72
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.560
is unbelievable and people got stranded there, So I thank
73
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.879
god that that didn't happen to us in the Dominican Republic.
74
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.080
And it was just a little rain. It rained out
75
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.279
the wedding, but it was still beautiful. It was in
76
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:21.160
the in the lobby or in this area. So everything
77
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.920
worked out, Everything worked out great, and I'm I'm thankful
78
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.240
for that. So anyway, so let's get to the lecture.
79
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.480
I mean, let's get to the slides, and we're going
80
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.800
to talk about hormones, all right. So I think that
81
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:37.439
the missing link between mind, body and spirit while people
82
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:41.160
are you know, kind of disconnected, is that there are
83
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.600
hormones are out of And maybe I'm jaded because I'm
84
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.040
an obgyn and this is what I see. But this
85
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.199
is what I've recognized. And even on one of my
86
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:54.720
live calls, somebody was in my courses where we talk
87
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.319
about hormones and we talked about mindset and all that,
88
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.079
and she said, hey, look, there was no way I
89
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:05.160
could talk about mindset and pair of sympathetic and spirituality
90
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.680
until my hormones got straight because somehow she didn't pick
91
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.279
up our prescription or whatever, and she was just totally lost.
92
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.360
She just couldn't you know, couldn't think, she couldn't do anything.
93
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:18.360
So it's very important that we get the hormones right.
94
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:22.639
So how your chemistry shapes your consciousness and why true
95
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:28.639
healing starts with balance, and so the whole universe works
96
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:33.519
off of balance. Okay, there's always these positive and negative forces?
97
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:37.000
Are these? You know? Yin yang? All that the whole
98
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.560
universe is based on balance. And one thing that I
99
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.279
definitely believe has to be in balance for you to
100
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:47.519
move anywhere closer to being and doing what you really
101
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.720
want to be and do, is you have to get
102
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.360
these hormones straight. So this is what we're going to
103
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:55.399
talk about. It is that missing link between man, body,
104
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.000
and spirit. We want to talk about hormones. All right,
105
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:02.120
So hormones is really how your body talks to each other.
106
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.720
You know, the ovary send messages to your uterus, to
107
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.800
your brain, to your breast. Cybod sends messages to every
108
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:14.600
cell in your body. Your cortisol, it regulates glucose. So
109
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:19.279
hermones just really are conductors and tell your body exactly
110
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.600
what to do. So hormones are your body's primary communication
111
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:29.160
network is biochemical language, intricately connecting every cell they act on.
112
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:33.759
They act as vital messages orchestrating all internal processes. So
113
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.399
all of your internal processes are governed by your hormones,
114
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:43.959
and it's also governed by your nervous system, so shaping mind, body,
115
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:49.040
and spirit. Beyond physical regulation, hermones profoundly shape your emotional landscape,
116
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.040
mental clarity, and spiritual awareness. They lay the foundation for
117
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.279
how you experience reality. And this is what I'll tell
118
00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:00.319
you in my office. Number one thing patients complain about
119
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.319
when their hormones are out of whack is mental fault.
120
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.079
Mental clarity is totally gone. They can't focus, they can't think,
121
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.800
They just feel totally out of whack mentally. They say
122
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:16.120
they can't concentrate, they get diagnosis being bipolar. I even
123
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.720
have had patients be diagnosed with dementia and really all
124
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.240
they needed were their hormones balanced. So this is very
125
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:25.759
important and if you don't understand it, you're going to
126
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.360
be diagnosed incorrectly and you're going to be treated incorrectly.
127
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.879
So that's why it's so important to understand hormones. So
128
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.360
when hormones are balanced, they create a clear channel to
129
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:41.120
intuition and peace. This allows you to access your deepest
130
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.879
wisdom and achieve inner harmony. And these are one of
131
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.759
the other laws is that is that your out of
132
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.000
world reflects your inner world. So if your inner world
133
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.759
is chaotic, your out of world is going to be chaotic.
134
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:56.959
And that's why you want to get these internal processes.
135
00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.480
You want to get them in balance so that you're
136
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.120
out of world will be balanced. So, and this is
137
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:06.439
all of the new stuff that I am learning, is
138
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.439
that your reality is created by you, is not really
139
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:15.319
created by the people around you. It's not your mother,
140
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.680
it's not your father, is not your kids, it's not
141
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.360
your boss. Is that you create your reality. And if
142
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:25.720
you can create your inner reality and you balance that,
143
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.519
you're going to be able to think clearly, you're going
144
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.720
to be able to make good decisions so that your
145
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.720
reality can change, because anything that you're experiencing now is
146
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.440
the result of past decisions. So if you want your
147
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.960
reality to change in the future, you have to change
148
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:46.399
your decision making. And you have to have a clear mind,
149
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.919
and you have to use that intuition, and intuition comes
150
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.639
from above, okay, and you have to have a clear
151
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.919
mind even more to receive it. Your mind has to
152
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.279
be peaceful to hear that clear, small voice, that faint
153
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:06.200
small voice that tells you right, left, up, down, all right.
154
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:08.840
And the more I get into this, the more I
155
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:13.279
believe it. All right, the mind body bridge. Okay. When
156
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:17.960
you are under stress, your stress hormones shut down your
157
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:23.279
prefuntal cortex, so you're not able to think. You only react.
158
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.840
You only are going by instinct, and so you're going
159
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:31.600
to react in a in a familiar pattern. Okay. So
160
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.639
that's what we talk about triggers. You know, somebody says
161
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.120
something and it triggers you. That's because you are reacting
162
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:41.519
to something in the past. Something in the past happened
163
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.519
that you don't like, that was uncomfortable for you, or
164
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.399
for that was a difficult situation for you, and then
165
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.799
someone says something that reminds you and you react, you
166
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.240
don't think, and that's you know that happens with the
167
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.360
other relationships talk about when you bring baggage into a relationship.
168
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.279
Somebody says something and it triggers you from something in
169
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.639
the past, and then you react, and then you go
170
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.159
back after your calm and you think you start that
171
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.200
you have to apologize, and you have to hope that
172
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:11.159
they don't take it personally and all of that. But
173
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.000
if you could get yourself out of the stress mode,
174
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:17.559
let your prefrontal cortex, which is the executive part of
175
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.799
your brain, if you're going to let that intervene, then
176
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.679
you can respond instead of reacting. But you have to
177
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:29.039
have a clear man. You have to not be under
178
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:32.960
the influence of stress, because stress makes you only think
179
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.799
of your right now situation. I'm in trouble, I'm in
180
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.120
a danger right now, so you only have time to
181
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.480
react and not to think all right, So it limited.
182
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.720
It limits a creative thinking, problem solving and access to
183
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.279
higher consciousness, so there's no way you can get that intuition.
184
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.720
That's why people get into so much trouble when they
185
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.960
just react to things and they don't take a deep breath.
186
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.440
What I've learned is that before you react, take a
187
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.600
deep breath and just try to think about how to
188
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.639
respond calmly. And I'll tell you that this has made
189
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:14.320
a big difference in my marriage relationship after thirty eight years,
190
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:18.120
I have learned to respond and not react. And if
191
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:21.360
you can do that, you will be surprised at how
192
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:26.000
your relationships will change, how your reality will change, just
193
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:29.679
by doing that, all right. So, survival mode activated chronic
194
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.200
cortisol dominance keeps your nervous system trapped in fight or flight,
195
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:38.440
making genuine presence nearly impossible. So that's why we talk
196
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.240
about you have to be present, all right, because if
197
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.840
you are under fight or flight, it's hard for you
198
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:47.159
to be present. Right now, you're just reacting and the
199
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.480
last thing you're thinking about really is your future, you know,
200
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:52.919
a month from now or a year from now, because
201
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.200
all you have to all you can think about is survival.
202
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.279
Just think about those people in Jamaica. They're not doing
203
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:03.440
any plan are there. They're just trying to survive. How
204
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.759
am I going to eat? Where am I going to sleep?
205
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.159
How am I going to get back to the airport.
206
00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:11.080
There's not going to be in creative I mean, maybe
207
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:14.320
they can creatively figure out a way to get home,
208
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.759
but that's still going to be in the survival mode.
209
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.480
So that's how you gotta think, you and you can
210
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.799
you can think yourself into the survival mode even though
211
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.320
you are not in the survival mode, just by thinking.
212
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:32.000
And that's why you If you can think peaceful thoughts,
213
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:36.600
you can get yourself out of that stress, that stress
214
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:40.240
cycle that you're going through. All right, So balance, restore
215
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:44.480
us the parasympathetic state that is your biological foundation for
216
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:49.759
spiritual wellness, intuition, and deep healing. You can't heal when
217
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:53.519
you're in the stress mode. That's why when that's why
218
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:58.039
I say, hey, most breast cancers begin two years after
219
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:02.120
a stressful event or after there's several stressful events, because
220
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:05.679
your body can't heal, it can't repair itself, it can't
221
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.759
go and find answer sales when you're in the fight
222
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:11.440
or flight state. You have to be in the rest
223
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:18.039
and digest state or repair, regeneration, longevity, all of that
224
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.399
to take place. You have to find a way to
225
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.000
get into that parasympathetic state. And you can do that
226
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.120
internally even though chaos is going on all around you.
227
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.320
All right, now, I will tell you one thing. When
228
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.480
I went into medicine, they said, you know, the key
229
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:38.919
to in medicine is that can you remain calm when
230
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.879
chaos is going on all around you? And that was
231
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.600
something that I learned early on, is how can I
232
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:49.559
stay calm even though people are running around there's c
233
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:52.919
sections to be done and all that, and so that
234
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.840
is how you have to approach life. Can I stay
235
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.679
calm even though chaos is going going on all around me?
236
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.240
So you cannot access your highest self when your body
237
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:06.559
believes you're under threat. Hormonal harmony is the bridge that
238
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.720
allows mind, body and spirit to finally work as one.
239
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.639
So that's that's just what I'm saying. You got to
