14
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.840
Here's your host, Doctor Eldred Taylor.
15
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.799
Hello, Hello, good morning, Happy Wednesday to everybody. I am
16
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.519
doctor Eldred Taylor, and I am the hormone Doctor. And
17
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.879
I am also the Spiritual MD, because I believe that
18
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:23.239
there is an unbreakable connection between spirit and body. Spirit, body,
19
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.200
mind and spirit, those are intimately connected. And so that's
20
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.920
kind of my persona is that, Yes, I'm the hormone
21
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.400
doctor because I was originally trained in Objuyn, but I'm
22
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.599
also the spiritual MD. I was raised by a Baptist
23
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.519
minister and that led me to believe in certain things
24
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.159
when I was younger. But as as a scripture that
25
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.879
I love to talk about is First Corinthians thirteenth chapter.
26
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.000
Is when I was child, I spake like a child,
27
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.400
But when I became a man, I put away childish things.
28
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.400
And so I want to look at religion and spirituality
29
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:03.000
and science. I don't believe that there is a disconnect
30
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.560
between those two. I believe they're intimately connected. But anyway,
31
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:14.199
when I talk about longevity, long jevity is connected to
32
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:19.159
spirituality because you need to think about is this the
33
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.159
only thing in life? Or is there more to it?
34
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.199
And you have to think of yourself. I like to
35
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.439
think of myself as my soul, as a being, an
36
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.360
eternal being. But we also want to this body that
37
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.800
we are living in. We want that to function as
38
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.599
well as we can so that we can carry out
39
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.000
our what I call our spiritual purpose. Why are we here?
40
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.800
And in order to carry that out, we need to
41
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.400
take care of our bodies and we need to be
42
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:52.680
able to preserve our vitality and our functionality for as
43
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:58.319
long as possible. So anyway, now when it comes to longevity,
44
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.120
I'm always about measurement. Okay, I have this motto that
45
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:05.879
you cannot manage what you cannot measure, and that started
46
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.560
from obgyn is that we never measured hormones because in
47
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.479
the blood, and if you looked at any of my
48
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.199
other podcasts or anything that I've been on, I talk
49
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.439
about how the blood is useless for looking at hormones.
50
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.599
And so it was difficult to manage women's hormones or
51
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.240
male hormones by looking at blood because I didn't have
52
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.479
a good measurement. So when I found out about saliva testing,
53
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.479
I'm like, wow, I can manage hormones now. I can
54
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:35.199
help people manage their hormones now because now we have
55
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.439
a good measurement. And then and that's that came from
56
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.439
the book Are your Hormones Making You Sick? That my
57
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.879
wife and I wrote. So then I became interested in stress.
58
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.400
People talk about you need to manage your stress better. Well,
59
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.439
how can I manage my stress if I can't measure it?
60
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.800
So then I learned about cortisol testing and heart rate
61
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.240
variability and things like that and you could wow, you
62
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.199
can measure stress. You can measure the impact of stress
63
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.719
with longevity. I'm like, well, we need to be able
64
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.719
to measure it. Is am I doing something that is
65
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.840
going to increase my longevity or increase my lifespan, or
66
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.599
more importantly, increase my health span? How can I measure that?
67
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.519
So believe me. For the last six seven, eight months,
68
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.199
I have been trying to figure out how we can
69
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:24.120
measure longevity. And I've got all kinds of gadgets and things,
70
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.000
and I've tried a lot of things. And so what
71
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.199
we're going to talk about today is what are these
72
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.000
measurement tools that you can use to try and track
73
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.240
and measure the progress of your longevity. Because I've talked
74
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.079
about a lot of things that you can do just lifestyle,
75
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.279
and we're going to talk about that again today. So
76
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.079
the last two podcasts we were talking about lifestyle changes.
77
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.680
We even started a thirty day challenge, and I hope
78
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:53.839
that you join us with that if you go to
79
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.399
our school group or if you subscribe to my substack.
80
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:02.959
I tried to keep a running like blog about it.
81
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.600
I walk every morning and I try and give you
82
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.959
a video and I kind of talk about what I'm
83
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.279
thinking about that day. But I want to encourage you
84
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.639
because they said even if you change, if you made
85
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.240
some choices for only four days, you could change your biology.
86
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:20.319
So I'm talking about what could you do if you
87
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.759
changed it for thirty days and it became a real habit.
88
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.399
And then you want to be able to measure that,
89
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.959
And we know what the Apple Watch. You can measure
90
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.040
your steps and there's a lot of good information you
91
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.120
can do by wearing this Apple Watch. So that's a
92
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.240
that's a gadget, and I'm sure the android watches do
93
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:42.279
the same. All these all these watches can collect a
94
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.959
certain amount of data. So that's one thing that we
95
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:46.680
can we can use. But then there's a lot of
96
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.160
other things that I've come across, and we're going to
97
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.720
talk about some of those things today. Some of them
98
00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.240
are I don't know what you call expensive, but most
99
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.240
of them are less than four hundred bucks. But if
100
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.839
you are serious about this, and I think it's a
101
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.720
great motivator. Once you can measure something and you can
102
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.759
see the impact that your choices make on your biology,
103
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.120
and you can see it almost in real time, I
104
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.439
think that makes a big difference. So I'm gonna stop
105
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.800
talking and we're gonna go to the slides. Okay, all right,
106
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.360
so I gotta make this a little bit bigger so
107
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.560
I can see it, all right, So next level longevity.
108
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:23.800
So again this is a cut above, and I always
109
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.199
look at it like this, is that it's almost imperative
110
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.399
that you figure out your hormones first, because hormones has
111
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.680
such an effect on everything. And so then we talk
112
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:38.240
about other parameters like the GI system and inflammation and
113
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.360
all those kind of things. So we want to get
114
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.199
all of that straight. Then we go into this next
115
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.079
level longevity, all right, is that we can be more
116
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:51.279
specific and more personalized. So in this next level longevity,
117
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:56.560
there's epigenetics, there's peptads, and then there's these biohacking devices.
118
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.240
And you know, sometimes biohacking has a has a little
119
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.279
bit of a negative connotation because we think about these
120
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:07.000
pumped up guys in the gym taking testosterone and all
121
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.680
of this stuff. I'm not really talking about that. I'm
122
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:15.560
talking about really measurement biohacking, where we are measuring what
123
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:20.000
our lifestyle decisions are doing to our biology and we
124
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.800
try and make some changes. And I'm not talking about
125
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.319
these extreme changes that you might be thinking about. So
126
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:32.199
that's my idea of biohacking is really measuring, not trying
127
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:36.560
to have this superhuman physiology. Okay, So moving beyond basic
128
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.560
habits to precision longengevity protocols that measure, optimize, and accelerate
129
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:45.360
your aging reversal journey, because again, I think it's very
130
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.839
motivating when you can do something and then you're like,
131
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.879
oh wow, that actually changed. Like I told you, sleep
132
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.319
is my issue. So I measured that with great precision precision,
133
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.800
and I try different things and when I see something works,
134
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.800
I stay with it, all right. So from habits to
135
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:08.480
precision longevity. So again lifestyle is the foundation. Traditional longevity.
136
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:12.079
Habits protect tilomeres, and I hope by now you everybody
137
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.600
knows what tilomeres are if you don't. Look at my
138
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.920
last two podcasts, and we talk about this book The
139
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.560
telomere Effect, which I would suggest that you read or
140
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.079
at least get a summary of, and how you how
141
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.000
these little things at the end of your chromosomes can
142
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.839
determine your longevity or how long you live, or how
143
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.519
many DNA duplications that you have in those cells. So anyway,
144
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.919
traditional longevity habits protect tilomeres and maintain cellular health throughout
145
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:46.879
through diet, exercise, and stress management. While essential, they're just
146
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:48.879
the starting point. So that's what we've been talking about.
147
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.559
Those last two is about eating nine inflammatory foods and
148
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:57.039
you know, trying to move every day. I re initiated
149
00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:00.879
my morning walks uh. And then we talk about stress management,
150
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.720
which is the number one thing in sleep. So all
151
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.039
of those things we've already talked about. Now we want
152
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:10.159
to talk about advanced testing. Next level longevity requires precise
153
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:14.360
measurement through epigenetic testing and cognitive assessments. Those are the
154
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:17.080
first two things we're going to talk about. Data reveals
155
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:20.799
your unique aging patterns and intervention opportunities. Then we want
156
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.879
to look at precision tools, cutting edge devices and peptads
157
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:29.240
provide targeted interventions based on your biological data. So let
158
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.440
me believe me. There are hundreds of peptads out there.
159
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.840
There are new ones being discovered every day, and it's
160
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:40.240
almost impossible to say which one does someone need without
161
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:44.360
some baseline information, and epigenetic testing can do that. We
162
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.679
can do it with other measures, but we want to
163
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:51.559
base these peptad protocols on your particular needs. The ACES
164
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:57.679
Blueprint upgrade transforms guesswork into measurable results. So my initial
165
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:02.080
concept from about the ACES blue Print is that you
166
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.279
have a personal blueprint that can actually make you ageless.
167
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:10.200
And what I mean by that is that at any age,
168
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:14.519
you can be productive and be vital. You know, have
169
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:20.399
be able to execute your purpose, whether you're forty, fifty, sixty,
170
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:25.440
seventy eighty ninety. And it's possible because I've seen it.
171
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.440
I've met people who are in their eighties and nineties
172
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:32.320
and they are full of life. And that's what I
173
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:35.240
want for you, And I think it's possible and it
174
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.759
doesn't take you know, you don't have to be born
175
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.799
into it. You don't have to have this genetic predisposition
176
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.840
to live to one hundred. You just have to change
177
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.720
what you do, and what you think and what you feel.
178
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:52.440
Those are the three things, all right. So epigenetic testing.
179
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.960
There's this company called Troo Diagnostics. I'm sure there's some
180
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.159
other companies, but this is the one that I know.
181
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.840
In the longevity course, I took that this is what
182
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:04.759
they recommend it. But epigenetic testing revolutionizes longevity by measuring
183
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:09.039
your biological age rather than your chronological age, So how
184
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.679
old is your biology and not just how old does
185
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.840
it say on the calendar. And again, we've all seen
186
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:20.200
people who look sixty and they're forty, and we've seen
187
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.039
people who look forty and they're sixty. You know, So
188
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.200
I'm hoping I want to stay in that category where
189
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.960
I'm sixty five, and I hope people think that I'm younger. Okay,
190
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.440
I want to act younger, I want to feel younger,
191
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.360
I want to be younger. So we're looking at biological age.
192
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:40.440
This advanced analysis examined how your lifestyle and environment have
193
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:44.000
influenced gene expression over time. So it looks at what
194
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:46.679
has happened in the past, and then it gives you
195
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.639
ideas of what you can do in the future to
196
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.879
change that trajectory. Okay, you can change the trajectory of
197
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.919
your biological age. The test identifies which aging pathways are
198
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.559
accelerated or slowed in your unique biology. Looks at your
199
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.320
gas system, your immune system. It looks at least nine
200
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.799
or ten different systems, and you can then focus on, hey,
201
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.120
what is aging me the fastest? And those are the
202
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.600
ones we want to concentrate on and use peptads and
203
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.600
lifestyle and whatever else. We need to try and change
204
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:21.399
that trajectory. All right, This test identify as agent pathways
205
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.840
an accelerated or slowing your unique biology, creating a personalised
206
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:30.320
longevity roadmap. Unlike generic protocols, epigenetic insight reveals whether your
207
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.879
cellular age is younger or older than expected. And that's
208
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.480
the problem I think with conventional medicine is that we
209
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:39.759
have these generic protocols. And I see this all the time,
210
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.159
especially with cancer therapy, is that this protocol you take,
211
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.320
this chemo, you do this radiation, you do this surgery.
212
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:52.720
And protocols are good guidelines, but they shouldn't be the law. Okay,
213
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.559
you are a unique individual and we need to treat
214
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:59.759
you as a unique individual. So older than expected. So
215
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.679
it measures methylation patterns across aging related genes, It compares
216
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:10.159
biological versus chronological age differential, and it identifies interventual priorities
217
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.240
for maximum impact. So what we do with this test,
218
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:16.600
the course that I took in longevity, I have all
219
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.159
of the information uploaded into a my chat GPT, so
220
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:23.480
it's all focused on this. So we get the epigenetic testing,
221
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:27.000
we run it through chat chat GPT, and I say, hey,
222
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:34.240
give me peptads and lifestyle suggestions that will change the
223
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:38.600
trajectory of this epigenetic testing, and it spits it out,
224
00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:42.919
it's personalized. It's a ninety day program and those we're
225
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.360
going to start offering that in the Age of Footprint
226
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:49.759
sometime in October is we're going to have a tiered
227
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:57.519
a tiered construction, a tiered levels where if you want
228
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:01.000
to go further in this, this will be available to you. Right.
229
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:04.360
So this is another one CNS VS brain testing, So
230
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:08.039
it's really central nervous system vital signed brain testing, and
231
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:11.679
this is a great test. It's not very expensive and
232
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:15.360
it lets you know where your central nervous system or
233
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:19.720
your brain function is. Everyone in my age category is
234
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:22.360
worried about dementia and Alzheimer's, So we want to see
235
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.360
where we are and what things can we do to
236
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:30.080
try and change the trajectory of our brain development. Are
237
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:34.080
its deterioration? Where are we So it measures it's a
238
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:38.639
comprehensive assessment of memory, processing, speed, attention, and executive function
239
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:43.679
to establish baseline measurements across key cognitive domains. And I
240
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:45.919
will tell you this is a challenging test. I mean,
241
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.399
it's all about memory and how fast you can react.
242
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:51.639
But it's very helpful. It lets you know where you are.
243
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:54.480
And then there are peptads and lifestyle things that you
