A better life with Ageless Blueprint starts now.

0:58 Here's your host, doctor Eldred Tables. Hello, everybody, Good morning, it is Wednesday. What is this January the fourteenth. We're almost halfway through January and I am doctor Taylor, the hormone doctor and the spiritual MD. And I'm excited about today because I want to you know, from the beginning, I always said I had a lecture. I said, I want to make you an honorary gun of collegist so that you can be your own health advocate and you can make your own decisions about your own health. And that's been my goal for twenty five thirty years, every since we wrote that book, All Your Hormones Making You Sick, and every since I kind of changed my practice into understanding physiology more than I understand pharmacology.

1:47 And so I've been on this for twenty five years and fourteen years I was lecturing and things in for last five or six years. I really haven't been out talking about this last year, and you may have heard myself. I just decided that as I got older, I'm going to do greater things. I'm not going to shrink up and kind of wither away. So I'm back on the crusade trying to help women understand hormones. And that's why I created Age's Blueprint. And now I am really focusing on hormone clarity, because I really don't think you can live an age's life if your hormones are out of balance, especially esogen, progesterone and primarily cortisol. I've been really revisiting stress and how it affects you and how it keeps you from being ageless. So anyway, so this is what I'm finding out. I started looking at some of these Facebook groups that are trying to help women get through menopause, and what I'm seeing is actually frightening. It's all of these complex questions that are being put on Facebook and asking comments from people. People are getting twenty thirty forty comments, and they're all different. They're all talking about this is what happened to me. And I tried this and this work, this didn't work, and I'm like, oh my god, why are people going to Facebook? Well? I know why. It's because doctors aren't giving them the information that they need

3:17 and that they can use to actually make good decisions about their life. There's so much different information out there. And the reason why I even started doing this is because the patient said, there's so much information out there. Doctor. I know what you're talking about, but I hear all of this stuff out there and I get confused. So I'm going to So I've developed something to try and help women men. Whoever is a hormone clarity information source. So I'm going to get to that. But first, let's describe the problem. Describe why we have this problem, and what I'm trying to do to try and help solve the problem. All right, So let's go to the slides, all right, the Facebook crowd sourcing heart on crisis. And I really do think it's a crisis. Is that Why are women turning to social media? And what's missing in modern hormone care? And if You've been following me, you know what I'm going to say is missing. It's proper testing.

4:16 You know, there's no problem with blood pressure. There's no confusion about blood pressure because everybody knows how to take the blood pressure, what a blood pressure means, reading means. Nobody has confusion about temperature. You know your temperatures will be ninety eight point six. You know what tests to use. It's a thermometer. Either you put it in your mouth or in some orifice, or you know, have things where you can put it on your head or they can feel the skin temperature. But you know what you're measuring, and you know how to measure it. This is what's missing, and that's why there's so much confusion. And I just want to I just want to emphasize how much confusion there really is out there, all right. So I don't know if you can read this but I'm going to try and read it. This says this. I went up to zero point twenty five to zero point three seven five on my estra dial patch, and I'm totally bloated, five pounds heavier in two weeks. And I have major swelling around my knees that I just noticed the night.

5:13 And this kind of bloating a waterweight normal on HRT. I packed pants on a holiday trip and couldn't fit into them ten days later, and eating less and exercising more, do I weighed out or go back down to zero point twenty five? Also, I've gained twenty pounds since starting HRT September. Why I felt great the first month and then now I'm tired and achy again. Can you believe all of that is on there? And she thinks somebody, some lay person is going to help her, you know, let's look at this. I thought my hyperactive thyroid was to blame, so I started level with the rocks and and brought my thyroid numbers to normal and tried the testosterone palace again, same lack of response. I am using estrad ile cream. I've heard of estrogen patches and the estratron progesteron testosterone compo P. But because insurance doesn't cover it, I don't want to lose that rebel. Can you see what I'm talking about? Even if they came to me as a patient, it would be hard for me to understand what the heck they're saying.

6:14 Yes, that's crazy. I mean that. I think I'm lost, just inherent all this. Yeah, she's talking about pillets and creams and this, And I did a pillet and the insurance and and this is not isolated. This is what I see every day. And several of these groups I just saw wednesday. I didn't have time to put it up there. But all of these stuff, you know, asking about dosages of estrogen and. All of these things. Okay, that's because why are you turning? They can't get they can't get answers anywhere else. And that's what I'm to show, is that we are the medical community or what or whoever, the healthcare community. They're not giving them any answers. Again, I've been talking about this for twenty five years and nothing has changed. Okay, So these are Facebook pros. This is fear, urgency, and desperation.

7:10 Whenever you're in fear, you will not make good decisions, and that's what I'm trying to That's what I'm trying to help people to avoid. Is stock cause the stress hormone to go up as well. Yes, I know exactly. So by them doing this, it's just making the situation worse. They're just expressing their fear and their urgency and desperation. And you cannot get better when you are in that state of mind. And that's why when people come to my office, I tell them that the first of my job is to get you to understand this and why it's happening, and how I might be able to help you to figure all of this out just by doing the proper test. That's what they're missing. That's why she doesn't know what esrogen toy use.

8:00 But she hadn't had the proper test to see if she actually needs it and how much progesterone she needs to counteract it. So it's the lack of knowledge that is causing the fear. When you have no knowledge, you have no power. So you give your power up to Facebook, up to TikTok, up to the doctors, up to a mental pause expert, up to me. I don't even want you to give your power up to me. I just want you to have the knowledge so that you can take your power back. That's my goal. I don't want you to say that I'm the hormone expert, even though I try to be. But you need to make your own decision for your own life. So this is I mean, it really is sad, and I'm embarrassed that the medical community has caused these people to go to Facebook to try and get an answer because the answer they are getting is not does not feel right to them. And so anyway, let's go, let's keep going. So the pattern this isn't about bad questions, it's about missing structure. So you see that these people have multiple symptoms and they have no shared framework. They don't know how to test, they don't know how to adjust their dose, they don't know how pellets and creams and all of these things work together. Are they good? Are they bad? Do they help?

9:22 So they have all of these questions, but there's no framework on how to do it. Okay, and if you get twenty three comments in that Facebook group, you aregain going to get twenty three different anecdotes. It is showing what helped that particular person, because that particular person is a certain age, she's a certain weight, she has a certain environment that she lives in, she has a certain amount of children and a certain amount of extended family, and she has a certain job, she has a certain diet, she has a certain routine, she has a So you see, I work for that particular person in that particular situation, in that particular environment, in that particular stage of their life, in that particular and you don't know what that person does.

10:10 She have other issues? Does she have loopus or does she have some other type of hypertension, And that's the reason why it's causing her hormones to active. Do you understand what I'm saying is no way you can ask twenty five different people. You can't ask twenty five different doctors what to do and they will all tell you something different. That is deep. I need to realize that we are different, just like fingerprints. Everybody has a different fingerprint. So if they thought of themselves like that, maybe they would understand we are all different. It's not a cookie cutter environment. One size don't fit all, One size don't fix all.

10:50 I know and I don't know. I think sometimes misery loves company and I'm not I'm trying to make sure I'm not blaming it, but loves company. All these women are in misery, and so they get together and they talk about how confused and how fearful and how frustrated they are, and at least they know they're not alone. But that's not good enough. It's like, when there is an obvious solution out there, I feel obligated to try and tell you about it. Okay, so you know there's no trusted guide, and I'm trying to I'm trying to build trust in you and allow and hopefully that you'll allow me to guide you just a little bit. I don't want to tell you what to do. I just want to guide you toward the proper information so then you can decide what to do. All right, So the system is the problem, not the patient. That's what I'm saying when I said misery loves company. I'm not trying to say you guys just want you know, women just want to complain. I'm just saying they need some kind of comfort, you know, and so at least they can share their experiences they don't feel alone. But that is that is a poor substanceitude for the medical community, not giving them good information. All right, So why is this happening now? You know, I did a podcast and did some TikTok videos on that FDA black box warning. So let me try and explain what that did. So back in the early two thousands, late nineteen hundreds, nineteen hundreds,

12:20 they did a study called the Women's Health Initiative, and what they wanted to prove is that perman and provera, that they were helpful in mental pause, they were doing all this great stuff. So they did this Women's Health Initiative, and all the pharmaceutical companies said, just wait till this study comes out. It's going to prove everything that we've said about this hormone and about permanent and pervera, everything that we've said, it's going to prove it. So then the Women's Health Initiative came out and it didn't say that. It started talking about how the provera part was the problem, and how esrogen and justterone. Well, it was just saying that, hey, all of those great benefits is not true. There's problems with harmon replacement. Now again, the problem is there was no structure. They were given horse urine and there's something called Bavaria. That wasn't estrogen progesterone. That was the problem.

13:11 For what they did is they put a black box warning on it, and it's been on there for like twenty years. So then in the meantime, the pharmaceutical industry and doctors have been trying to disprove the Women's Health Initiative. They don't like the they didn't like the outcome, so they tried to disprove it, and they've been doing that for twenty years. So finally they get somebody to remove the black box warning. But nothing changed. Now there's no new structure, there's no new way of testing, there's no new nothing. They just took the warning off. It's been a problem since its beginning. Harmon replacements really started around the nineteen sixties. It's always been a problem because we've never had a framework and never had proper testing. So just removing the black box warning, it just took all of the restraints off. Now everybody's talking about everything because there's no guard rails all right, So that's the problem with the FDA warning. Now it's a wild wild West.

14:06 Where some people had some kind of restrictions on them. Now they're like, oh, we can talk about esgen, but we can talk about whatever we want. That's the problem, all right. And then there's explosion of these telehealth harmone clinics. There's people where you can get all can get golp ones, you can get viiagara, you can get whatever you want from a harmone clink. So what are they going to what kind of knowledge are they going to give you? They're going to tell you, Yeah, go ahead. They wanting to know when all of this came out, did anybody ask what these things are made of before? Or did they just hear the hype lose weight, lose weight, lose weight. Yeah, you talk about permanent bavaria. Yeah, LP one things, Oh.

14:49 The golp one things. Well, you know, here's what I said, gop ones. I'm not totally against glp ones. Okay. Golp ones are actually high and of bioidentical. There are these small amino answers, so they're made up of things that your body makes. The problem with golp ones is when they're not monitored appropriately, just like harbones, when they're not monitored appropriately, If the golp one is making you lose muscle mass, all weight loss is not good weight loss. If you lose muscle mass, that is a problem that is detrimental to your health. If you lose fat mass, that is not detrimental to your health. So when we do use golp ones, we always insist that they do body composition analysis so that we can see what they are losing. And golp ones to me, are a short term thing to do while you lose the weight and then you can start to implement different things to keep the weight off. Okay, so that's how I look at that, and I know that's kind of off, but since it was the question, I went on and answered it. But that's the thing it's all about. Text. Yeah, do I understand goop wants? What do they do? How long should I be on it? What's the problem not losing muscle?

16:07 If I can lose fat and get my hemoglobein a one C down and then I can maintain the normal diet and do the right things now that I have the weights weight off, I don't think it's a bad thing. But if it's a crutch, then it's a problem, all right. So anyway, so they have all these telehealth harmbone clings where you can get anything online, even hey, you know, I can talk about myself. You got other people on podcasts who are saying different things you have, So it is a lot of information out there. So what I'm trying to do, I'm not trying to convince you to do what I'm telling you to do. I'm trying to teach you how your body works, so that you can figure out if this decision supports my body and how it works, does it cause harm to my body? So, but anyway, social media will fill the gap if you if you go there, if you ask a question, somebody will answer okay, and access increased faster than understanding. So I want to say this. I told you we wrote these books twenty five years ago, and nobody was really talking about this twenty five years ago, and when I was on the lecture circuit, nobody was talking about it.

17:15 Now it is so popular, It's all over the social media, and people have gotten access to this information without understanding it. They're doing blood testing. Hey, I did a whole residency in Obi Juana. We never drew blood because we knew that the blood didn't tell the same thing. So I had to change my whole way of thinking. I had to understand how blood works and how saliba works and all that stuff. A lot of people are jumping into this and they don't know what they're talking about and don't understand hormones and hormone physiology, so they just tell you about their anecdotal experiences. Right. So access without understanding creates panning. So a lot of people think they need more hormones, they need more prescriptions, or they'll say, oh, look I'm more natural. I want to use peptids, and I want to do this, and I want to do that.

18:07 They think that it's more and more and more because they don't understand the root cause of their problem. If you test appropriately and see what the root causes are cortisol, esigen, progesterone, those are the basics. You see that it's not more prescriptions. You need more understanding of what is actually happening. As your body and your heartmones change over time, and that includes men and women, and especially cortisol is going to change over time. As your stress increases and your stress builds up, you're going to have cortisol issues. Unless you live in some type of utopia for all your life, you are going to build up stress and you are going to have to try and increase your resilience and your resistance. All right, So anyway, you don't need more prescriptions.

18:53 You don't need more opinions, and I'm telling you you'll get plenty of them on Facebook, and you can see that you don't need more fear okay, And people are so fearful of things. I'm sorry about the background Norse. People are so fearful, and fear is the opposite of what you want to be feeling. If you're trying to heal and you're trying to get back in balance. Fear keeps you, keeps you isolated, keeps you where you can't grow, you can't change. You don't want to move. You want to stay right where you are. And you got to think confusion allows you not to change. So now you're going to do the same thing that you've always done, or you're going to do what everybody else is doing.

19:40 Because you're so fearful, you don't know how to move individually, so you move with the group. And that's why the Facebook groups feel so comforting. Because you don't have any confidence, then you look for confidence in someone else. If someone on Facebook says something and they say it with a lot of confidence. You think that they're an authority because it helps you because you have you don't have that confidence. So you you're looking for somebody on Facebook to give you some confidence. And I want to give you that confidence through knowledge and not through outsourcing or crowdsourcing your hormone treatment. All right, So information without orientation increases your anxiety.

20:25 So that's that's just the fact. You know, if you have limited information and no context, all of it just jumbles around in your brain and you end up being paralyzed. Okay, you can. You can was paralysis by analysis. You can also get paralysis by overloading information that different, that's different from one another, and it just causes confusion. All right. This is what Facebook groups can't provide. What's missing in crowdsourcing. You're not going to get any in a pattern recognition because all of those anecdotes are going to be different based on those different people. So it's going to be hard to figure out. Oh oh, pellets, they must be good.

21:11 Oh no, but these five or six people said the pellets caused a problem. Oh oh, oh, so creams are what I'm sold to do. But no, this lady she just said she gained twenty pounds using some estrogen does all right, Well then okay, I can't use estrogen. Oh this progesterone. Oh I use the progesterone and this happened. Well, really, they didn't even use progesterone. They were using some synthetic form like norgestimate our matroxy progesterone acetate. They're talking about facebook what progesterone did, and they weren't even on progesterone. So that's why I'm saying, you're not going to get any patterns. You're not going to be able to figure out all this all makes sense because it's all the reports of several different people in several different situations. So you're not going to get longitudinal thinking. Hey, look, this is how this happened. These are the things that contributed to my condition. I'm at this point right now. I know what's going on. I know what I need to change, So now I'm going to think longitudinly. I'm going to think about how I can correct these things so that my life will be different in the future. All right, You're not going to get nervous system regulation because I've told you is that as long as you're in fear, nothing good is going to happen to you. And that's why I always try to explain what is going on, so try and put some context into their life. Hey, look when when you were taking care of your parents for five years, it stressed you out, It wore you out.

22:41 That's why you're anxious and you can't sleep, and that's why you have no energy. Is not because you needed antidepressants. Are a sleeping peeled. This is what happened, and this is how we can correct it. Fifty percent of the work is to get them to have some context of their life so that they don't think that their life is spiraling out of control. This is something that can be understood and can be corrected. And then it's context over anecdotes. That's what I've been saying, is that if I can get you to contextually understand what is going on with you, you will forget all of these antidotes. You don't care how something happened, are helped or didn't help somebody else. It's it's irrelevant to you because you are a unique individual. We need to see what your estrogen progesteron ratio, We need to see what your quarters are curved like curve looks like we need to understand it.

23:35 Understand how that fits into your lifestyle. How has that limited you in the past if you changed, how could it accelerate you in the future. So that's that's what context does. It gives you a framework and that's what is missing. All right now, real quick, we have a question on that curve. Okay, great, does that curve you mentioned change through life? Of course? Okay, so I've done cortisol lectures before, but let me quickly talk about that because I want to do the doctor part of this after the break. So cortisol. Cortisol is your stress hormone, So you have you stress and you have distress, so you stress means that I have daily stress of waking up, eating, going to work, So I need energy. So cortisol mobilizes glucose, so you have energy during the day. So cortisol should be hind in the morning and then it should slowly dissipate and go down at night, so you have most of the energy in the morning. You do all the things you need to do during the day, you get tired, you go to sleep, and you come back and do it the next day. Well, as long as you have normal stress, that's fine, you get this normal curve. But in this society, we don't have normal stress. Most of the time we're stressed out. Twenty four to seven. We're worried about our job, We're worried about our kids, our parents, our finances, what's going on in the world, all of the news, and all of these things. So twenty four to seven and we're up here. We got all of this quartosol going on, and your body is in this fight or flight, but

25:05 you're not fighting or you're not fighting anywhere. So now all of that glucose, what does that do? It gets stored away as fat. Now there's two problems. You can't stay up here forever. After a while, you're adrenal gland gets fatigued. That's what makes quartosof So then that curve starts to start go down. I know you can't see because of this fake background, but anyway, it starts to go down. And what happens is in the morning, instead of having this much energy, you have this much, and at night, instead of having this much energy, you have this much. So during the day you don't have enough, and at night you have too much. So you have trouble sleeping, or you wake up at two or three o'clock in the morning and you are tired when you wake up. So the accumulation of stress over your life alters that curve. That's what I'm trying to tell you.

25:51 So your life experiences will either enhance that curve and make it stay normal, or if you have a lot of stressful life experiences, you're going to initially have a lot of quarters. Also you can try and get through those experiences, but then with time and as that chronic stress increases, you're going to be able to handle it less and less and less, and that just increases your stress more because now the stress that you were able to handle becomes overwhelming and now it just spirals down. So that's how life ends up pressing on you and pressing you down. So I hope that answers the question you can ask if that explained it. But yes, quarts all changes throughout life, and hormones, especially in women, change throughout life through puberty and reproductive stage, perimenopause, menopause. Yes, there's a whole flow to that, and that's what we're going to talk about when you come back. The mentopause education crisis. I did a seminar on this. But the reason why they're going to Facebook is because doctors have not been educated about menopause. That's the reason why they're going to Facebook group. It's not the patient's fault, it's the medical establishment fault is that we have not taught doctors and was still not teaching doctors how to handle menopause.

27:11 I had to teach myself twenty five years ago because the medical establishment didn't do it then and they're not doing it now. So we're going to talk about this when we come back. So let's go to break. We are going to a quick break, So stay with us as we explore the Ageless Blueprint right here on W FOURHC Radio and Talk for TV, an ancient secret with a modern twist for better health and vitality.

28:18 We are back for more of Ageless Blueprint once again. Let's join doctor Taylor for more insights and research on the ancient secret to better health and a better life in modern times. Here's your host, Doctor Eldred Taylor. All right, we're back. This is the ass Booprint. I am doctor Taylor, the hormone doctor and the spiritual MD. And we're talking about outsourcing our crowdsourcing your hormone therapy advice. We're talking about how people are going to social media to get information, to get detailed information about dosages and methods of application like cream. And they're asking just general people that they don't know, and they're taking in their comments and I guess they're using their advice. I'm not exactly sure. So why is that happening? Well, the doctors are missing it too, Okay. Why do patients feel unheard?

29:16 Well because you get ten to fifteen minute visits. Okay, it's no way you can understand. You can you saw that information that they put on Facebook. You can't listen to all of that contemplated, you know, digest it and come up with a way to explain it to the patient in ten or fifteen minutes. The shortest new patient visit I have is thirty minutes. I try to collect a lot of information before they ever come in so that I can start as early as I can helping to explain to them why they are feeling like the way they are. You know, what has happened in their life, where are they, what stage in their life are they and putting it all together for them. But you can't do that in a ten or fifteen minute visit now, even if you had more tan. This is the real problem.

30:05 I did this lecture probably three, four or five months ago. I actually a podcast. I did this because I saw an article that said in California they're trying to force their students and medical students to take a course in menopause because they said only nine percent it was either seven or nine percent of the physicians coming out of medical school and their residency felt like they knew how, they understood and knew how to treat menopausal symptoms. Okay, so that means only that means like ninety one percent of doctors don't have any idea how to treat women going through perimenopaus and menopause. That is why they're going to the Facebook groups. And that's why I'm trying to also educate doctors, to get more of these doctors to understand how they can better manage these patients, because again, for twenty twenty five years, they're doing the same thing, and then when they lifted that FDA black box warning, it just exposed it even more. Now that ninety one percent of people who don't know what they're doing, they're allowed to guess. Now they're allowed to go and listen to somebody else and just do what they're doing and not actually understanding what is going on. So we've got to get doctors to understand mental poults. And the only way I know to tell talking s how to do it is to get patients to go in and demand it.

31:31 That's what the pharmaceutical companies do. They get you to want something and they tell you to go ask your doctor. So I want women and men to understand hormones and saliva testing. That is the key, that is the framework. Once you get the proper information, you can make the proper decisions that is the key. So what we want to do is get enough women, get enough people who are listening to this podcast who sharing my information, so that they get the saliva tests, they get the information, they go to the doctor and said, look, this is what was going on with me. Don't you want to learn more about this? A lot of them will say no, but a few of them will say yes. Somebody like me twenty five years ago said yes to a patient who asked me a question that I did not know the answer to, and I went and started searching the answer and it's led me to this point right here.

32:26 So that's what we're going to talk about, is how can I get that education to the patient, to the client to force the doctors to learn this new method of handling hormone issues. All right, then, So what we want to do is to get these doctors to get out of looking at blood level values and try to interpret them. You can't believe all of the spinning that people do for blood levels to try and act like they're telling them something about their hormone experience. That's why you keep saying, hey, I know there's something wrong, and the doctor keeps telling me my blood tests are normal.

33:08 That's because the blood test is not a reflection of what your hormones are doing. The saliva testing is all right, So that is the key if you can just understand that concept. I don't take my blood pressure with a temperature gauge. It's the wrong test. So you gotta understand that. I don't make harmone decisions using the wrong test. If I use my blood pressure cuff to decide whether or not I need blood pressure medicine, I will make the right decision. If I use the wrong test to check my blood pressure, I'm going to be going to Facebook groups and asking how what do you do about blood pressure? Okay? Does that make sense, rebel? Yes?

33:51 It does. Yeah. Is that if you use the wrong test, you're going to make the wrong decisions. Are you going to go to Facebook and ask them to help you make a decision. I have the right information. You can make the right decision on your own. You don't have to ask the doctor or Facebook or anything. You'll say I understand this, Yes, I need to do this. I understand this. No, I don't need to do that. All right, So then you stop symptom chasing. I hear these doctors say, oh I don't go I don't look at the lab test. I just go by symptoms. The doctor is just saying, hey, I know the blood tests don't show me anything. So all I have left is your symptoms. And I'm telling you is that no you have. We would talk, you, listen to symptoms, you decide what you think might be going on. We would call it a differential diagnosis. Okay, you have all of these different things that could be happening, and you would say, hey, if I test this, it'll rule this out. If I test this, it'll rule this out.

34:46 It's all about having the proper test to tell you what the symptoms are telling you, all right, And so just to say I go by symptoms only is not the medical way to do things. But in menopause we allow that to happen. And I'm telling you women, you can't keep allowing that to happen, all right. And they don't doctors don't have time for education. I'm telling you they're so they're doing these ten or fifteen minute visits, they're they're fighting with insurance companies, they're going back and forth to the hospital. They don't have time for real education and understanding. So a lot of times, it's whatever the drug rep comes in and tells them and this will help your patient's symptoms. They're like, okay, Fan, can I do that in ten or fifteen minutes? Okay, that's what I'll do, right. So that's the problem, and that's why I had to get out of the medical establishment because I knew I couldn't do what I needed to do in a ten or fifteen minute visit and worrying about insurance and all of those kind of things. I just had to get out of that rat race, all right, So how can I help you? So this is what I've done. You heard me talk about my school. Well, over the holidays and everything, I've really been trying to think about how I can get this information out because you know I keep talking about these books that we wrote. Well, I'm learning about chat GPT and I'm learning how I can I learn how I can make a personalized chat EPT that has only my information in there, so you don't get all of these different opinions. So I have

36:16 my all your hormones make you sick in there. I have my stress Connection book in there, and I'm telling you, if you learn that information, you're going to be two hundred steps ahead of most people. So I put it all in there and I'm going to have it's it's free. I'll show you how you how you can get to it, and you can go in there, and you need to ask it questions. Hey, can you explain to me saliva testing? Can you explain to me how thyroid and quarters all works? And you can ask it your questions that you are concerned about, and it will give you some good baseline information. So what I believe is that before you have treatment, before you have protocols, before decisions, you need education. Okay, I hear so many women say, Oh, I knew I shouldn't have had that hysterectomy. I knew I shouldn't have done whatever. I knew I shouldn't have had the chemo therapy.

37:09 I knew I shouldn't have had my breast removed, just something didn't feel right about it. So I'm trying to give you enough knowledge to go with your intuition so that you can make decisions you can you cannot. You won't make irreversible decisions with limited information, because once you make a decision to remove your uterus or your breast, those decisions are irreversible. You can't put the uterus back, you can't bring your fertility back, all of that. So I want to have a place where you can get some information before you make some of those decisions. All right, So patterns over panic. So when you start to see that there's a pattern to all of this, at certain times your life, certain things happen and this is why they happen. And then you'll come you say, Okay, I I know what this is. I know how to correct it.

37:55 I know what's going on. No panic, I know what decisions. I know. This is not an emergency situation. It's just a normal pattern. And you want to have understanding before you take an action, before you make a decision. You want to have some understanding. So let me share my screen and rebel, and I'm just going to show you how you get to the school. Let me see how I share a screen. Hopefully I can do this right hormone clarity, yat Okay, so this is it. So if you go to here, can you see this. Rebel I'm having share a screen? Is this? Can you see me moving around?

38:37 No? I can't see. How do I share my screen here? Then? Okay, so I just got out of it. So let me see Okay, so it's sharing. Now you see me moving around? Is it sharing my screen? Hello, I'm working on there we go, yep, gotcha. Okay, so now you can see it all right. So here's here's where you go school dot Com, Fords lash a'sless and you'll go to an about page and they'll ask you to sign up. It's free. Okay, you can start here. Okay, they'll tell you everything and this is free. It's called a hormone Clarity preview. Okay, And so you click here and these are different prompts that you could ask.

39:18 But let's say, okay, I feel let's do this. I'm gonna copy this one do doo, and then I'm go go to this and it's actually gonna load up in my chat ept. But so let's ask that question. I feel tired but wired. What hormone pattern is associated with? Hopefully it's gonna work here, you guys. It's a very commonsation that it usually points to a stress hormone pattern, not a lack of wheel power motivation. Normally, your stress hormones, especially quartas all adrenaline, rise in the morning to help you wake up and gradually follow This is really answering the question that that patient answered and me asked your members She was like, does your does that curve change with time? So it's explaining exactly what I said, rise in the morning, up, you wake up gradually followings the days go on. That's why I'm telling you. It's really talking like I talk, okay, because I put podcasts in here, I put books in here, So it's really like I'm giving you a free copy of my books, but it's given to you so that you can ask the question that you're concerned about and like whatever, you're kind and then you know at the bottom of you how chat tepdal ask you do you want to know something else?

40:25 Do you want to know something else? So this is this is my alternative to Facebook. This is a place where you can go for free. And I would love for you to join my school group. We have a community here. Let me let me try and go back to school. So we'll go there, uh school, I spelled it wrong, dot com Fords less ageless and then it's also forced slash about so let me show you how you would go in. So this is well I'm an in the back office, but here you, it was like jo you know, join now. It would be free. It would ask you to identify yourself and you be a part of community. Usually two to three times a week I post something and this is how many members we have. Now, i would love for you to be a member. And I'm building this.

41:18 This is a year old and I'm building it. I'm trying to make it as good as possible. And then once I hope that you understand this through the chat GPT, that you understand enough to actually order the saliva test. This is the key to the understanding. This is the key to keep you out of the Facebook group is we do the saliva test. I'll give you a video review of what the saliva test is showing. I'll give you recommendations on how you can correct it and if we need to do it one on one call, we can do that. And then after you get that, we're going to have this Hormone Clarity home base where now that you understand the saliva test, this kind of keeps you grounded. They'll answer other questions if you can ask specific questions about this. Now, this is actually going to be paid, but these two are free, and of course the saliva test has a cost to it, but I just want you to get here and to be a part of the community. I'll answer questions and things there.

42:19 So this is really the culmination of how do I help these people who are going to Facebook groups? So if you know somebody who's at who is concerned about hormones or whatever, tell them to come here. They can get this chat GPT. It's free and it will answer most of your basic questions and it will come in context, in one frame of mind, and not twenty nine different anecdotes trying to give you a framework of you know, of how your hormones actually work. So I think I've stopped sharing my screen? Have I? And I can go back to the slides. Yes, so let's go back to the slides. I think I got one or two more slides maybe, So this is so do you think that could be helpful rebel?

43:08 Most definitely. Yeah. So if whatever you are asking Facebook, now, this is what I'll tell you if you go in there and asking, you know, how should I adjust my estrogen dose? This is for educational purposes only. You don't really need to understand how to adjust your estrogen dose. You just need to know what tests you need to help you decide what estrogen dose you need to be on. All right, So that's the difference. You just need to know the right information. So what harmone clarity actually means. It's not really advice, okay, it's information to help you to make a decision. And don't give it up to the doctor.

43:50 Don't give it up to whoever says they're a hormone expert. Nobody is a hormone expert on you other than you. If you get in tune with your body, and you will become an expert on your body. And women are better at that than men. And I just need to encourage you to continue to stay in tune with your body and add some information to it, knowledge to it. You'd be surprised at how you can take control of your health. All right. So in that ch chat GBT, we want you to learn how hormones actually interact. We want you to understand stress physiology. That's the most important one. Stress is ninety percent of the issue. Ninety percent of visits to primary care physicians are for stress related complaints of disorders. If you can understress and understand understand stress and understand what it is doing to your physiology and understand how you can correct that through mindwork, through through just the just understanding how stress affects you, you would be able to overcome a lot of your problems. So seeing trends over time in that when you do that home base, there's a follow up test that also comes with that, so that once you once you try the recommendations or whatever, we want to prove that those test results got better. Okay, that they got back into the normal range. So we want to see what happens over ten because hormone clarity is not a one time event.

45:21 It is a pattern. Like I said, your life changes, your hormones change. So this is a continual process. So knowing what questions matter, what really matter? Does it matter how you know what dosa you on? Is it appellate? The question is understanding how does this work? How will this affect me down the road? How does cortisol and thyroid and that's how do they all work together. It may seem complicated, but once you do the proper test, it's not nearly as complicated as you might think. All right, we got like one of tomorrow. Harmone changes, life change. That's why we say this is ongoing. As life changes, hormones change. We usually test people's hormones at least twice a year because things change, all right, All everything changes, all right. Clarity is a process, it's not a moment in time. So what is the cost of getting this wrong?

46:14 You make fear driven decisions, You do unnecessary medication changes because you're just doing trial and error. You lose trust in the establishment because they're not giving you good advice. They're removing FDA rules and not giving you some kind of information after that, and then they're telling you after sixty you have to stop. Well, sixty, if I talk about ageless blueprint, sixty is not the end of your life. So what are you doing? So it doesn't matter how old you are. What matters is are your hormones balance? And how do you figure that out is through the proper test. And then you have these long term consequences because you made these fear driven decisions, and now you have regret, and regret is stressful, all right. So a different model is you have calm, daily guidance, education without diagnosis, structure without pressure, support without crowdsourcing. So closing thought, women aren't confused because they're uninformed. They're confused because no one has slowed things down and actually tried to educate them about what is going on in their bodies. So I think our time this perfectly. We got thirty seconds left.

47:20 Any questions, no, we covered them as we went. Okay, all right, good. So I hope this helps somebody. I hope I see you in our ages blueprint community. There we go to ass blueprint podcast dot com if you want to go over this again. But hopefully I'll see a few less Facebook questions and I'll see more questions in our community where we can answer the questions and put it all together for you guys.
