A better life with Ageless Blueprint starts now.
16
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.280
Here's your host, Doctor Eldred Taylors.
17
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.359
Hello and good morning. I am doctor Taylor, the hormone
18
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.400
Doctor and the spiritual MD. Thank you so much for
19
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:16.519
joining me this morning, and today we're going to talk about,
20
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.120
you know, being ageless. You know, I've been talking about
21
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.799
hormones and blood tests and saliva test all those and
22
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:28.280
I think that is the core because your hormones control
23
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.680
so much and unless you get your hormone straight, it's
24
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.560
very hard to move to the next step of agelessness.
25
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.719
And you know, we're all about taking care of the body.
26
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.920
We want to take care of the man, and we
27
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.519
want to take care of the spirit. So we try
28
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.799
to incorporate all of that. Because if you're talking about
29
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:52.040
holistic medicine, instead of it being h O L I
30
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.920
S T C I. Hope I spelled that right, we're
31
00:01:54.959 --> 00:02:00.159
talking about holistic who l E. Wanting to be whole
32
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.560
and to behold you got to incorporate all three of
33
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:08.199
those body, mind, and spirit. So today we're going to
34
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.280
take the next step on the body is now that
35
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.080
you have your hermone street. You know, I'm going to
36
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:18.680
assume that you've gone through that part of my school
37
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.879
course and always try and point you toward the school course.
38
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.240
But now we're going to go the next step, and
39
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:29.639
this is talking about epigenetics. How can you reverse how
40
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.280
can you slow down aging or either reverse aging. And
41
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:35.919
the first thing that we have to get across is
42
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:40.039
that a lot of people think that their DNA controls
43
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:43.039
their whole life. It controls when they're how they're going
44
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.560
to live, what kind of diseases they're going to have
45
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.599
when they're going to die, and it's like, hey, it's
46
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.400
just in my DNA, it's just in my genes. That's
47
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.840
just how I am. Well, that is not true. What
48
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.800
is really going on in your DNA? You have all
49
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.919
of this different information and scientists think that you only
50
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.039
use about ten percent of that information and they used
51
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.560
to call the rest of that information jump genes. You know,
52
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.240
it didn't do anything, It just it just set that dormant.
53
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:18.120
Well one thing in nature. Nature is very conservative. It
54
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.719
doesn't just do things for the heck of it. Everything
55
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.080
has a purpose. And just like you and your life
56
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:29.439
has a purpose, your DNA, all of it has a purpose.
57
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.199
We just are now discovering what those purposes are, what
58
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.120
the purpose is, and it's all about epigenetics. There's a
59
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.439
there's a series on Gaia, the Gaia channel, Gaia that's
60
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.319
how I pronounce it, Gaya. That's called inner evolution. And
61
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.319
this is a cell biologist I'll think of his name
62
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.479
in just a minute, but as a cell biologists who
63
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.719
really discovered epigenetics and what epigenetics EPI means above the DNA.
64
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.800
So you look at it like it's a it turns
65
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:07.800
DNA on and off, and there's switches that increase your
66
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.919
aging process, and then there's these switches that can decrease
67
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:16.959
your aging process. And it's primarily governed by something called methylation.
68
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.639
And we're going to get into that when I get
69
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.720
into the slats. And are we okay, rubble Okay, I
70
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.600
said something about this only audio only, Okay, all right,
71
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.720
So when we get into the slats, we're going to
72
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.480
talk about how that's done. But today we're going to
73
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.079
talk about how do you either stop or reverse aging?
74
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.759
And you know, uh, this is this is the thing
75
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:42.759
I am always interested in, how can we test something?
76
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.360
You know, the reason why I got into saliva testing
77
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.360
and harmones is because when I learned about over jun,
78
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.439
we didn't test for hartmones and so I always felt
79
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.720
like we were guessing. It was always trial and error.
80
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.839
So that's how I learned about the saliva testing because
81
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.600
it was a way. It was a way to test
82
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.639
where a person was. You could implement a therapy and
83
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.160
then you could retest to make sure that you had
84
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:14.160
you had corrected that issue. So then when we went
85
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.040
to the stress connection, I learned something that you cannot
86
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.120
manage what you cannot measure. So when people say you
87
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:23.360
should manage your stress better, that's very hard to do
88
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.439
if you don't measure it. So that's why we went
89
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.639
into cortisol testing. You can measure stress byle looking at
90
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:33.319
heart rate variability. So when you're looking at agelessness or
91
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.160
being ageless, I wanted to have a test. And there's
92
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.439
a test called true Diagnostics that can look at how
93
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.399
those switches are being turned on and off and you
94
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.920
can actually see what organ systems are aging prematurely so
95
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.360
that you can take special care to try and correct
96
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:54.360
those problems. And you can see how well or how
97
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.360
poorly you're aging, and then you can take steps to
98
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.199
try and reverse that, and then you can retest and
99
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.920
see that, hey, yes, I have slowed down my aging process.
100
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.000
And most of the time when we think about aging,
101
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.800
we're thinking about how can we live healthier? And that's
102
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.120
what this test does is make sure that if you
103
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.680
see that an organ system is aging you prematurely, that's
104
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.120
likely where you could have some type of disease. So
105
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.720
that if we can find this information out earlier, it's
106
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.279
going to benefit us so much more because the earlier
107
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.519
you find something, the easier it is to correct it.
108
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.600
So let's go to the slides. My dog is giving
109
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.639
me trouble here, So anyway can you reverse aging? What
110
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:45.000
epigenetics and your DNA really say? So? Modern science is
111
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:49.319
challenging our fundamental assumptions about aging. See so what if
112
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.720
your biological clock could be rewound? And that's and believe
113
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.000
it or not, you can do that. Now. This presentation
114
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.480
exploites the cutting edge science of epigenetics and it's profound
115
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.160
implications on extending not just your lifespan, but your health span.
116
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.720
Because there's a song that says everybody wants to live forever,
117
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.759
but no one wants to grow old, and that is
118
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.839
so true. We all want to live forever, but we
119
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.800
don't want to live forever or live longer and be
120
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:21.439
unhealthy and not have vitality and not be productive in
121
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:25.000
society and not be a burden on our children or anyone.
122
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.439
So we all want to live a long time. But
123
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.480
the key is is our health span equal to our lifespan.
124
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.959
So you can live ninety for ninety years, but you
125
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.519
can only if you're only healthy for sixty of those.
126
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.959
Is that really what you want? And so that's what
127
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.680
we're talking about today how can you make sure that
128
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.399
health span a less as long as your lifespan are
129
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.240
as close as possible. So we'll go to the next slab.
130
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.959
So what is epigenetics. Let me make this a little
131
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.639
bit bigger here. What is epigenetics. Well, your genetic code
132
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.600
remains fixed throughout your life, so you're right, you cannot
133
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:06.319
change your genes. But epigenetics turn determines how those genes
134
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.199
are expressed or silence. So think of your DNA as
135
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.680
hardware and epigenetics as your software that controls it. So
136
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.480
you know, your computer has all these programs on here,
137
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.720
and then some of those programs can be viruses, and
138
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.439
you want to make sure that you keep those virus
139
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.759
programs off. And I'm just talking about computer, and so
140
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.879
you want some switches to be turned off, and you
141
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.639
want some switches to be turned on things that are
142
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.039
going to rejuvenate you and repair tissue. You want all
143
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.240
of those switches to be on. But the ones that
144
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:42.240
are causing you to decay quicker, and those are mostly
145
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.879
stress hormones, you want those to be turned off. And
146
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.799
there's ways to do both of those, all right, So
147
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:55.519
four key factors influence your epigenetic expression Number one is nutrition,
148
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.000
what you put in your mouth. You got to think
149
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.960
that the only way your body can really get what
150
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:04.480
it needs to repair itself and to rejuvenate itself is
151
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.679
by the nutrients that you put in your mouth, and
152
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:10.720
that and the ones that are actually digested and absorbed
153
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.879
by your gut. So what you eat and the health
154
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:19.120
of your gut are probably the most important things that
155
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:23.080
you can do to extend your life. It's no doubt
156
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.840
about it that what you eat and what you're exposed
157
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.960
to that is what turns these genes on and off. Now,
158
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.559
I told you stress, and you know I talk about
159
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:38.000
stress all the time, and the stress connection. Stress disrupts everything.
160
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:42.039
It disrupts your epigenetics, it disrupts your genes, a disrupture
161
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.960
every organ system in your body. So that's why we
162
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.200
talk about meditation. That's why I went to this Joe
163
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.799
that spends the advanced course is to understand how meditation
164
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:58.600
influences biology. And it's primarily by turning off those stress
165
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:04.440
epigeneticswitch And that is so, so so important because when
166
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.559
you're under stress, your body is only thinking about the
167
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.480
present moment. It's not thinking about repair, it's not thinking
168
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:17.279
about rejuvenation. It will destroy everything in your body just
169
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.399
to get you through that stress. And if you're under
170
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:25.519
constant stress, that's what deteriorates every organ in, every organ
171
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:29.360
system in your body, especially your immune system, which is
172
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:33.279
there to protect you. And so it suppresses the immune system.
173
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.039
But the body is thinking that the immune system is
174
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.840
trying to protect you from an illness that's a year
175
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.559
or two from now. But if you're in the stress mode,
176
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.120
you're only thinking about getting out of the stress at
177
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:49.039
that second or that minute. And so therefore all of
178
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:52.879
the long term repair switches get turned off and the
179
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:57.799
short term switches get turned on, and that is how
180
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:02.759
disease happens. And then sleep quality rest enables cellular repair
181
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:06.600
and regeneration. I tell a patient nothing gets better if
182
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.679
you don't sleep, and so that sleep is so important.
183
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.840
That's when these cells called natural killer sales come out
184
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.320
and they look for cancer cells early on. Sleep is
185
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.200
when your body takes in all of the nutrients and
186
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.840
distributes them so that your body can use them in
187
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.840
the proper way. And I will tell you the other
188
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:29.919
thing that's important is nighttime sleep. I tell any patient
189
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.159
who is working the night shift that that is a
190
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.840
detriment to your health because your body needs sleep. When
191
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.399
the sun is down, you are in rhythm with nature
192
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:45.440
and you're supposed to sleep when it's dark outside, and
193
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:50.000
when you don't, it disrupts your chronobiology. And when I
194
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.360
talk about that is your biology based on rhythms. And
195
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.840
so there was a study that because I was in OB,
196
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:02.799
I found this study that OB nurses who work the
197
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:05.279
night shift on a consistent basis for I think it
198
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.919
was for more than ten years, that they had a
199
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.759
much higher increased risk of breast cancer and just by
200
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.120
working on the night shift. And that's been shown in other, uh,
201
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.440
you know, and other professions, not just OB nurses. So
202
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.360
sleep is so important and having sleep at the right
203
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.639
time of day is also important. All right, we'll go
204
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:26.519
to the next one. I think I control it. Yeah,
205
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:29.320
So I like this test called a true age test,
206
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:33.840
and how it works. It tests for DNA methylation patterns
207
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:38.320
that it's a and you've you've heard of mt HR.
208
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:42.200
It's it's when you can't methilate properly, and so that
209
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:45.919
can increase your risk of disease and that can increase aging.
210
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:49.519
So this looks at DNA methylation patterns. That's why people
211
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:54.600
take methylated folic acid to try and control methylation. So
212
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.200
this is specific chemical markers that accumulate on your DNA
213
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:02.559
to precisely as your biological age at a cellular level.
214
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.720
So this advanced testing technology emerged from decades of research
215
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:11.279
at top institutions including Harvard, Stanford, and UCLA. And that's
216
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.799
what I'm talking about. You want to be able to
217
00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:16.200
test like what you know. I used to speak for
218
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:23.600
this anti aging medic but too anti aging medicine organizations,
219
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:28.519
And I never understood how you know, because a lot
220
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.159
of times you would you would have these protocols and
221
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:34.240
they put you on everything under the sun, and you're
222
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:39.399
paying ten fifteen, twenty thirty thousand dollars to quote unquote
223
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.440
do anti aging. Well, I don't think that's in the
224
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:47.240
realm of most people's budget. And so that's why I
225
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:50.360
love this test. The test is like three ninety nine,
226
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.519
but it gives you great information. I'll show you so anyway,
227
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:57.840
what you'll learn is biological and chronicological age, how old
228
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:00.759
your sales actually are compared to your account under age.
229
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.120
And because again you can be sixty and you can
230
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.759
have the biological age of fifty, or you can be
231
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:10.679
fifty and has a biological age of someone who's seventy,
232
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.279
And that's what you want to avoid. System specific aging.
233
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.480
Which organ systems are aging faster than others? Is it
234
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.679
your gut? Is it your immune system? So now we
235
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:24.840
can target those systems that are aging you faster. And
236
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:27.559
the way the body works is that if one system
237
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:32.399
ages faster, it starts to deteriorate the other system. And
238
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:35.600
if you have a major system, like your cardiovascular system,
239
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.919
it doesn't matter that the other systems are working well. Specifically,
