Here's your host, doctor Eldred Tables.
15
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.239
Hello, everybody, Good morning, it is Wednesday. What is this
16
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.280
January the fourteenth. We're almost halfway through January and I
17
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.519
am doctor Taylor, the hormone doctor and the spiritual MD.
18
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:20.200
And I'm excited about today because I want to you know,
19
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.560
from the beginning, I always said I had a lecture.
20
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.680
I said, I want to make you an honorary gun
21
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.599
of collegist so that you can be your own health
22
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.040
advocate and you can make your own decisions about your
23
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.439
own health. And that's been my goal for twenty five
24
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.840
thirty years, every since we wrote that book, All Your
25
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.120
Hormones Making You Sick, and every since I kind of
26
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:46.920
changed my practice into understanding physiology more than I understand pharmacology.
27
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.840
And so I've been on this for twenty five years
28
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.439
and fourteen years I was lecturing and things in for
29
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.799
last five or six years. I really haven't been out
30
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:02.519
talking about this last year, and you may have heard myself.
31
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.840
I just decided that as I got older, I'm going
32
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.800
to do greater things. I'm not going to shrink up
33
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.560
and kind of wither away. So I'm back on the
34
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:16.719
crusade trying to help women understand hormones. And that's why
35
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:21.280
I created Age's Blueprint. And now I am really focusing
36
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.360
on hormone clarity, because I really don't think you can
37
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.840
live an age's life if your hormones are out of balance,
38
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:33.879
especially esogen, progesterone and primarily cortisol. I've been really revisiting
39
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:38.520
stress and how it affects you and how it keeps
40
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.680
you from being ageless. So anyway, so this is what
41
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.599
I'm finding out. I started looking at some of these
42
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.000
Facebook groups that are trying to help women get through menopause,
43
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.120
and what I'm seeing is actually frightening. It's all of
44
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.319
these complex questions that are being put on Facebook and
45
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:02.560
asking comments from people. People are getting twenty thirty forty comments,
46
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.479
and they're all different. They're all talking about this is
47
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.919
what happened to me. And I tried this and this work,
48
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.240
this didn't work, and I'm like, oh my god, why
49
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.159
are people going to Facebook? Well? I know why. It's
50
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.560
because doctors aren't giving them the information that they need
51
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.479
and that they can use to actually make good decisions
52
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.039
about their life. There's so much different information out there.
53
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:26.879
And the reason why I even started doing this is
54
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:30.479
because the patient said, there's so much information out there. Doctor.
55
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.439
I know what you're talking about, but I hear all
56
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.840
of this stuff out there and I get confused. So
57
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.879
I'm going to So I've developed something to try and
58
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.520
help women men. Whoever is a hormone clarity information source.
59
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.319
So I'm going to get to that. But first, let's
60
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:50.080
describe the problem. Describe why we have this problem, and
61
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.719
what I'm trying to do to try and help solve
62
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.560
the problem. All right, So let's go to the slides,
63
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:01.680
all right, the Facebook crowd sourcing heart on crisis. And
64
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.319
I really do think it's a crisis. Is that Why
65
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.199
are women turning to social media? And what's missing in
66
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.680
modern hormone care? And if You've been following me, you
67
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.639
know what I'm going to say is missing. It's proper testing.
68
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.399
You know, there's no problem with blood pressure. There's no
69
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.199
confusion about blood pressure because everybody knows how to take
70
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.839
the blood pressure, what a blood pressure means, reading means.
71
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.639
Nobody has confusion about temperature. You know your temperatures will
72
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.519
be ninety eight point six. You know what tests to use.
73
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.720
It's a thermometer. Either you put it in your mouth
74
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.079
or in some orifice, or you know, have things where
75
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.000
you can put it on your head or they can
76
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.800
feel the skin temperature. But you know what you're measuring,
77
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.120
and you know how to measure it. This is what's missing,
78
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.720
and that's why there's so much confusion. And I just
79
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.839
want to I just want to emphasize how much confusion
80
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.120
there really is out there, all right. So I don't
81
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.199
know if you can read this but I'm going to
82
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.399
try and read it. This says this. I went up
83
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.600
to zero point twenty five to zero point three seven
84
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.920
five on my estra dial patch, and I'm totally bloated,
85
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.600
five pounds heavier in two weeks. And I have major
86
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.560
swelling around my knees that I just noticed the night.
87
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.600
And this kind of bloating a waterweight normal on HRT.
88
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.360
I packed pants on a holiday trip and couldn't fit
89
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:24.920
into them ten days later, and eating less and exercising more,
90
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.560
do I weighed out or go back down to zero
91
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.279
point twenty five? Also, I've gained twenty pounds since starting
92
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.920
HRT September. Why I felt great the first month and
93
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:38.199
then now I'm tired and achy again. Can you believe
94
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.040
all of that is on there? And she thinks somebody,
95
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.639
some lay person is going to help her, you know,
96
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.279
let's look at this. I thought my hyperactive thyroid was
97
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.079
to blame, so I started level with the rocks and
98
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.120
and brought my thyroid numbers to normal and tried the
99
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.680
testosterone palace again, same lack of response. I am using
100
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.720
estrad ile cream. I've heard of estrogen patches and the
101
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:02.120
estratron progesteron testosterone compo P. But because insurance doesn't cover it,
102
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.199
I don't want to lose that rebel. Can you see
103
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.160
what I'm talking about? Even if they came to me
104
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.720
as a patient, it would be hard for me to
105
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:13.519
understand what the heck they're saying.
106
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.120
Yes, that's crazy. I mean that. I think I'm lost,
107
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.120
just inherent all this.
108
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.560
Yeah, she's talking about pillets and creams and this, And
109
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.720
I did a pillet and the insurance and and this
110
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:31.079
is not isolated. This is what I see every day.
111
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.480
And several of these groups I just saw wednesday. I
112
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:35.839
didn't have time to put it up there. But all
113
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.439
of these stuff, you know, asking about dosages of estrogen and.
114
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:46.600
All of these things. Okay, that's because why are you turning?
115
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.800
They can't get they can't get answers anywhere else. And
116
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.240
that's what I'm to show, is that we are the
117
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.879
medical community or what or whoever, the healthcare community. They're
118
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.160
not giving them any answers. Again, I've been talking about
119
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.519
this for twenty five years and nothing has changed. Okay,
120
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:10.120
So these are Facebook pros. This is fear, urgency, and desperation.
121
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.839
Whenever you're in fear, you will not make good decisions,
122
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.120
and that's what I'm trying to That's what I'm trying
123
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:19.279
to help people to avoid.
124
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.639
Is stock cause the stress hormone to go up as well.
125
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:27.240
Yes, I know exactly. So by them doing this, it's
126
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:31.199
just making the situation worse. They're just expressing their fear
127
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.600
and their urgency and desperation. And you cannot get better
128
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.079
when you are in that state of mind. And that's
129
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.920
why when people come to my office, I tell them
130
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:45.800
that the first of my job is to get you
131
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.800
to understand this and why it's happening, and how I
132
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:52.920
might be able to help you to figure all of
133
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:56.839
this out just by doing the proper test. That's what
134
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.680
they're missing. That's why she doesn't know what esrogen toy use.
135
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.759
But she hadn't had the proper test to see if
136
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.120
she actually needs it and how much progesterone she needs
137
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:10.160
to counteract it. So it's the lack of knowledge that
138
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.879
is causing the fear. When you have no knowledge, you
139
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.920
have no power. So you give your power up to Facebook,
140
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.160
up to TikTok, up to the doctors, up to a
141
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.639
mental pause expert, up to me. I don't even want
142
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:27.480
you to give your power up to me. I just
143
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.759
want you to have the knowledge so that you can
144
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:33.559
take your power back. That's my goal. I don't want
145
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.159
you to say that I'm the hormone expert, even though
146
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.799
I try to be. But you need to make your
147
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.360
own decision for your own life. So this is I mean,
148
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.799
it really is sad, and I'm embarrassed that the medical
149
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:51.519
community has caused these people to go to Facebook to
150
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:54.799
try and get an answer because the answer they are
151
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:59.320
getting is not does not feel right to them. And
152
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:02.120
so anyway, let's go, let's keep going. So the pattern
153
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:06.960
this isn't about bad questions, it's about missing structure. So
154
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:10.360
you see that these people have multiple symptoms and they
155
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:13.679
have no shared framework. They don't know how to test,
156
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.399
they don't know how to adjust their dose, they don't
157
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.799
know how pellets and creams and all of these things
158
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.000
work together. Are they good? Are they bad? Do they help?
159
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.960
So they have all of these questions, but there's no
160
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:28.600
framework on how to do it. Okay, and if you
161
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.679
get twenty three comments in that Facebook group, you aregain
162
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:36.840
going to get twenty three different anecdotes. It is showing
163
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:42.960
what helped that particular person, because that particular person is
164
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.480
a certain age, she's a certain weight, she has a
165
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.240
certain environment that she lives in, she has a certain
166
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.519
amount of children and a certain amount of extended family,
167
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.639
and she has a certain job, she has a certain diet,
168
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.440
she has a certain routine, she has a So you see,
169
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.519
I work for that particular person in that particular situation,
170
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.919
in that particular environment, in that particular stage of their life,
171
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.399
in that particular and you don't know what that person does.
172
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:13.039
She have other issues? Does she have loopus or does
173
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.720
she have some other type of hypertension, And that's the
174
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.320
reason why it's causing her hormones to active. Do you
175
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.480
understand what I'm saying is no way you can ask
176
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.080
twenty five different people. You can't ask twenty five different
177
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.200
doctors what to do and they will all tell you
178
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:31.240
something different. That is deep.
179
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.000
I need to realize that we are different, just like fingerprints.
180
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.960
Everybody has a different fingerprint. So if they thought of
181
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:44.159
themselves like that, maybe they would understand we are all different.
182
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:48.519
It's not a cookie cutter environment. One size don't fit all,
183
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:50.440
One size don't fix all.
184
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.480
I know and I don't know. I think sometimes misery
185
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.159
loves company and I'm not I'm trying to make sure
186
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.519
I'm not blaming it, but loves company. All these women
187
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.919
are in misery, and so they get together and they
188
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.919
talk about how confused and how fearful and how frustrated
189
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.159
they are, and at least they know they're not alone.
190
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:15.360
But that's not good enough. It's like, when there is
191
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:19.279
an obvious solution out there, I feel obligated to try
192
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.720
and tell you about it. Okay, so you know there's
193
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.519
no trusted guide, and I'm trying to I'm trying to
194
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.279
build trust in you and allow and hopefully that you'll
195
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.080
allow me to guide you just a little bit. I
196
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.000
don't want to tell you what to do. I just
197
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.519
want to guide you toward the proper information so then
198
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.000
you can decide what to do. All right, So the
199
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:44.440
system is the problem, not the patient. That's what I'm
200
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.559
saying when I said misery loves company. I'm not trying
201
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:49.399
to say you guys just want you know, women just
202
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.279
want to complain. I'm just saying they need some kind
203
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.919
of comfort, you know, and so at least they can
204
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.000
share their experiences they don't feel alone. But that is
205
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:02.360
that is a poor substanceitude for the medical community, not
206
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.120
giving them good information. All right, So why is this
207
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.200
happening now? You know, I did a podcast and did
208
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.799
some TikTok videos on that FDA black box warning. So
209
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:16.120
let me try and explain what that did. So back
210
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.559
in the early two thousands, late nineteen hundreds, nineteen hundreds,
211
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.559
they did a study called the Women's Health Initiative, and
212
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.639
what they wanted to prove is that perman and provera,
213
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.200
that they were helpful in mental pause, they were doing
214
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.159
all this great stuff. So they did this Women's Health Initiative,
215
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.039
and all the pharmaceutical companies said, just wait till this
216
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:39.320
study comes out. It's going to prove everything that we've
217
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:44.120
said about this hormone and about permanent and pervera, everything
218
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:47.000
that we've said, it's going to prove it. So then
219
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.519
the Women's Health Initiative came out and it didn't say that.
220
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:53.960
It started talking about how the provera part was the problem,
221
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.080
and how esrogen and justterone. Well, it was just saying that, hey,
222
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.159
all of those great benefits is not true. There's problems
223
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.879
with harmon replacement. Now again, the problem is there was
224
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.559
no structure. They were given horse urine and there's something
225
00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:11.559
called Bavaria. That wasn't estrogen progesterone. That was the problem.
226
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:13.480
For what they did is they put a black box
227
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.320
warning on it, and it's been on there for like
228
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:19.600
twenty years. So then in the meantime, the pharmaceutical industry
229
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:23.000
and doctors have been trying to disprove the Women's Health Initiative.
230
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.799
They don't like the they didn't like the outcome, so
231
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.240
they tried to disprove it, and they've been doing that
232
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.320
for twenty years. So finally they get somebody to remove
233
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:36.480
the black box warning. But nothing changed. Now there's no
234
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:39.279
new structure, there's no new way of testing, there's no
235
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:42.399
new nothing. They just took the warning off. It's been
236
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:46.440
a problem since its beginning. Harmon replacements really started around
237
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.320
the nineteen sixties. It's always been a problem because we've
238
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:52.320
never had a framework and never had proper testing. So
239
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.759
just removing the black box warning, it just took all
