14
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.840
Here's your host, Doctor Eldred Taylor.
15
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:08.079
Hello, Good morning, Good Wednesday to you. I am doctor Taylor,
16
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:13.239
the hormone Doctor and the spiritual MD, and I'm so
17
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.359
happy to be here today. And what I want to
18
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.400
talk about today is that, you know, last week we
19
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.840
talked about how you can increase your TEILOMEWS, which is
20
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:27.079
really talking about how you can increase longevity, how you
21
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:31.760
can stay healthy and happy for a longer period of time.
22
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.000
And because I think that's so important, I want to
23
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.319
just go back over it again because the that's really
24
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.920
what the Ageless Blueprint is all about, is how can
25
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.400
you stay ageless? How can you not succumb to old age?
26
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.599
And I think that's different than you know, just living longer.
27
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.640
We don't want to live longer and be in poor
28
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.120
health for you know, the last ten to fifteen years
29
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.560
of our life. You know, my goal is is that
30
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.719
I stay healthy, productive, a active part of my community,
31
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.960
my family, and I think that's what most people want.
32
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.159
And I just want to help guide you to see
33
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.759
if there are some things you can do to make
34
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.599
that become more of a reality, because what I have
35
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:23.520
learned is that you shape your reality more than your circumstances.
36
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.520
So you have to take an active part in what
37
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.159
your future reality is going to be. And there's steps
38
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.039
you can take. And you know, the way I structured
39
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:37.879
my Acist Blueprint school is that first we start off
40
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.560
with hermones, and hormones are so important. That's why we
41
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.879
wrote the book Are your Hormones Making You Sick? And
42
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.199
then the second book we wrote was The Stress Connection.
43
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.719
And I think that second book is more important than
44
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.439
the first one is that and that's part of the hermones.
45
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.199
So when we look at hormones, we look at female
46
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.919
and male hormones, and we look at cortisol. Because stress,
47
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:04.000
what I've learned is stress disrupts everything. It disrupts your hormones,
48
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.400
it disrupts your gut, it disrupts your brain. So it's
49
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:12.080
so important that I want to do a second podcast
50
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.599
on it. I may do a third or fourth because
51
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.400
ninety percent of the visits to a primary ninety percent
52
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.919
of the time when you go to a doctor, you
53
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.439
are going for a stress related complaint or disorder. And
54
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.479
that's from a study twenty thirty years ago. Now it's
55
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.520
probably ninety five ninety eight percent. So what I want
56
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.800
to do is we can look at what we're going
57
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.879
to do is we're going to look at this telomere
58
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.240
trajectory quiz and I want to go through it so
59
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.400
you can identify the stress. Because the first thing that's
60
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:44.960
important is you want to identify the stress and if
61
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:48.000
at all possible, get rid of the stress. The second
62
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.000
thing is that if you can't get rid of the stress,
63
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.960
change how you respond to the stress. And that's why
64
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.639
I talk so much about meditation because that's one of
65
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.039
the best ways to change how you respond to stress.
66
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.840
And then the third thing is re pair the damage
67
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.520
caused by the stress. So if it's damaged your hardmonal balance,
68
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.960
we want to repair it. If it's damaged your adrenal
69
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.599
gland which makes quartersol, we want to repair it. If
70
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.199
it's damage your gut, we want to repair it. And
71
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.599
then we want to prepare you for future stress. So
72
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.120
for right now, what I want to do is I'm
73
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:21.040
gonna do this screen share and hopefully I can pull
74
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:28.519
up the right thing. Let's see kind of find it here.
75
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.680
This is going to be so easy to find. Listen,
76
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.879
let me pull it up here and then I'll be
77
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:41.439
able to see it. Can you see that ti LaMere effect?
78
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.160
If I share my whole screen, you should be able
79
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:49.360
to do it share entire screen. That's probably the easiest
80
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.160
way for me to do it. All right, now, can
81
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.800
you see it? Can you see it? Rebel? Okay? All right,
82
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.079
So let's start here. So we're going to take this
83
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.279
quiz and I hope you you can score it. Okay,
84
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.120
So you've got to calculate your score from one to four.
85
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.600
Where in a one next to the statements that apply
86
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.319
to you, and zero to the ones that don't apply. So,
87
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.160
are you experiencing severe ongoing job stress? I always say,
88
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.000
don't let a job kill you. This is another big
89
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.759
stressor full time caregiver or a disabled family member. That's
90
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.319
and sometimes we're you know, we're caught in between all
91
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.120
of these. We may have sick children, we may have
92
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.920
a severe job stress, we may be taking care of
93
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.120
elderly parents. So all of these they are cumulative, and
94
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.120
so you may be experiencing one, two, or three of
95
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.519
those and they all add up. All right, Do you
96
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.240
live in a dangerous neighborhood? Do you feel unsafe? And
97
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.680
sometimes people feel unsafe in their own body, you know,
98
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.199
they just have this anxiety, or or if you are
99
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:53.959
in a neighborhood, or if you're in a family where
100
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.160
you don't feel safe, that's all that is all affecting,
101
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.680
All of that is affecting you. Are you experiencing extreme
102
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.040
stress almost every day due to some chronic situation or
103
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:08.519
recent traumatic event. And what I've learned is that you
104
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.360
can make yourself well just by thought, and you can
105
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:14.879
make yourself sick just by thoughts. So even if you're
106
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.279
thinking of an experience that you've had in the past.
107
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.199
That's what we call post traumatic stress. Even if you're
108
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.480
thinking about it, it can become a stress that can
109
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.800
affect your health. All right. So if you score so
110
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.720
this is this is the scoring, all right. So the
111
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.120
higher the score, the better off you are. The lower
112
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.319
you score, so if you score two or more, you're
113
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.759
at high risk. So these are these tilmere points. All right.
114
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.360
So let's go on UH mood disorders. Do you have
115
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:47.480
a diagnosable condition like anxiety or depression? And if you
116
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.920
if you have a diagnosed UH mood disorder like that,
117
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.800
that is going to cause stress also because you're not
118
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.800
going to respond appropriately to a situation. If you're chronically depressed,
119
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:05.680
are or your have chronic anxiety, you over emphasize situations
120
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.839
because of your moot disorder? All right, So how much
121
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.920
social support do you have? Is there someone that can
122
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.360
give you good advice? Is there someone you can count
123
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.000
on to listen to you? Is there someone who shows
124
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.079
you love and affection, because this can all of this
125
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.680
can reverse all of those stressors that we talked about earlier.
126
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.480
Do you have someone you can talk over your problems with?
127
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:31.160
Do you have much as much contact as you would
128
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.680
like with someone who you feel close to. So how
129
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:37.560
you know, how what is your social network? Do you
130
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.120
have a strong social network. If you don't have a
131
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.839
strong social network, get a dog. Your dog will always
132
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.399
love you, you know. So that's why I say is man's
133
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.639
best friend. So you need some kind of social support,
134
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:52.800
whether it's church or community organization, you know, and the
135
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.439
biggest social support is your spouse. And that's why it's
136
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.680
so devastating, especially to men, when their spouse passes away
137
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.480
after they've been married for a long time. They get
138
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:06.680
this severe loneliness and it can lead to an early death.
139
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.199
You know. As I've said before, men need women and
140
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:14.439
women don't necessarily need men to live longer. Okay, if
141
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:18.240
you're a man and you're you're a widow, I would
142
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.079
say that you need to go and try and reconnect
143
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:25.519
with the woman because women are healthy for men. Healthy
144
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.680
women are healthy for men. That's what I should say.
145
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:29.680
Is that a better way to say it? Rebeled that
146
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.000
if you're a healthy woman is good for a healthy man.
147
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:33.960
I believe you don't.
148
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.799
Yeah, you don't want an unhealthy woman. You know that
149
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.080
women can be well let me be quiet, let me
150
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.759
stop talking before I get myself in trouble. All right,
151
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.080
So you want social support. How much physical activity do
152
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.440
you do? So I did not do much physical activity.
153
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.679
You do once or twice a week, about three times
154
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.720
a week are almost daily, you know. And you don't
155
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.080
want to over you don't want to over exercise. Just
156
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.200
some movement. We're going to talk about that. Just some
157
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:05.360
movement will help you, you know. I have. I've started
158
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:08.559
maybe eight nine months ago, going back to the gym
159
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:11.159
because I had a goal that I wanted to keep
160
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:15.000
my body fit. Even though I'm sixty five. I see
161
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.399
these images of these people my age and they're fit.
162
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.960
I see them at the gym, So it encourages me
163
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.080
that you don't have to your body doesn't have to
164
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.960
deteriorate just because you're getting older and you start off slow.
165
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.759
You build yourself up and even just walking doing some
166
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.440
kind of movement, even if sheigong or tai chi, they've
167
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.720
been doing those for thousands and thousands of years, and
168
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:43.080
that is to keep their physical ability, because when you
169
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.080
lose your mobility, you lose a lot of joy in life.
170
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.360
You know. I like to travel, and I see that
171
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.320
when you travel, especially in these foreign countries. When we
172
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.720
went to Egypt, you have to be limbered to go
173
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:01.879
into those caves and to those temples and all that.
174
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.919
You have to be mobile, So you want to do
175
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:09.639
whatever you can to maintain your mobility. All right, sleep patterns,
176
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.720
and that is what I've been working on. And I
177
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.039
always say, you cannot manage what you cannot measure. So
178
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.159
that's why we do cortisol testing and heart rate variability.
179
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.559
We try and measure stress so we can manage it.
180
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:28.240
I measure my sleep patterns and that is very very important. Now,
181
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:30.840
I'll tell you they say you should get six to
182
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.360
eight hours of sleep. My goal is to get more
183
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.919
than six hours, because that's just kind of how I'm built.
184
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.559
If I get six six and a half hours and
185
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:42.399
I look at my sleep monitor and I get enough
186
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.039
rim sleep, ourm sleep, and deep sleep, then I'm happy.
187
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.720
But I am focused on that because I haven't been
188
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.039
good at that in the past. And next week I'm
189
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.279
going to talk about Right now, I'm just talking about
190
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.879
things that you can do and it really doesn't collst
191
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.759
you anything. It's just lifestyle changes. But next week we're
192
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.679
going to go to the next step. We're going to
193
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:04.840
talk about how epigenetics can show you what's aging you.
194
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.919
More quickly, I'm going to do some of I'm going
195
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.120
to show you some of my biohacking monitors that I have,
196
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.720
which I think are very important because I like data.
197
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:19.320
You know. I got interested in harmone replacement, biodonkal hartmone
198
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.879
replacement once I could measure it in saliva, and then
199
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.240
I had data that I could go on that worked.
200
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.919
I started being interested in stress when I learned how
201
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:32.000
to measure saliva. I mean, corta is all in saliva
202
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:35.120
and look at heart rate variability. Now I had data.
203
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.600
When we're going to talk about peptats, I do epigenetic
204
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.960
testing so I can know what peptats to focus on.
205
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.480
All right, So with sleep, there's certain things you can
206
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.759
do to help you with sleep. I talk about some
207
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:52.559
of those in the school Age's Blueprint school. But there's
208
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.879
things you can do to get data. We talk about
209
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.399
r rings. I want to introduce you to something called HUME,
210
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.600
which is which I think is great. I may do
211
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.480
a whole podcast on that, but I think you need
212
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.879
these measurement gadgets because you even if you're talking about longevity.
213
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:12.080
This human biopad that I'm going to talk about. It
214
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.639
helps you to measure longevity day by day so that
215
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.519
you can know what are you doing every day that's
216
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:23.720
either they're increasing or decreasing your longevity. So anyway, so
217
00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:26.679
I measure my sleep. I think that's very important. You
218
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:28.840
want to get six to eight hours of sleep, and
219
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.120
you want to be good quality sleep. You want to
220
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.639
be deep sleep. You want to be rim sleep. That's
221
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:39.159
when you actively dream and your subconscious is open. All right,
222
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.519
what are your nutritional habits? Are you eating good fats
223
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:46.200
like avocados and seaweed and fish that can train contains
224
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.320
omega three oils like salmon. Please stay off of the
225
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.919
sugar sodas. You just don't know how much sugar is
226
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.600
in those sodas. You want to stay off of those
227
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.200
process meat. All of that is bad. Now, I will
228
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:02.960
tell you I am really planting. I don't eat meat anymore.
229
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:06.320
It helps me to maintain my weight. I don't feel
230
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:10.320
sleepy and tired after I eat. I would encourage you
231
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:12.279
don't have to go totally plant based, but try and
232
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:14.320
limit the amount of meat you eat. And if you
233
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:17.200
eat the meat, let it not be processed. Go to
234
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:21.759
your local farmer's market, get grass fed beef without any
235
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:25.440
antibiotics or anything like that. So you want to avoid
236
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:29.720
processed meats at all costs. Now, another thing I want
237
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.759
to tell you, you want to avoid barbecue meats. So
238
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.639
the char that's on that barbecue is really carcinogenic. It
239
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.200
has nitrites in it. And so you know, you want
240
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.279
to cook your meat properly if you're going to eat
241
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.960
the meat. And I know barbecue. I live in the South.
242
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.879
I know it's a big deal. But just be wary
243
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:50.879
of that. You know, if you're going to do it,
