0:59 Here's your those doctor Eldred tables. Okay, good morning. Good morning is Wednesday, and it's a beautiful Wednesday. Here at Atlanta, Georgia. We have a garden and zelias and things in the back, and they're all blooming pretty. It's fifty degrees a little chilli. I always like to go outside and take a nice deep breath of fresh, clean air and look at all of the flowers blooming because it just makes your day start out better. All right. So anyway, today we are still talking about the cost of harmone confusion and the reason why I keep harping on this because I see how big of a problem this is. And I keep getting patients that come into the office and I'm like, Wow, these are all of these high performing women and men, and I see that they're at a place in their life and they're stuck. They want to keep performing at home and at work and relationships and in their leadership positions, but they just can't keep doing it at that pace, and they're wondering what is going on with them, and they're so confused. The doctors are confused. And I tell people I was confused when I finished my residency. I didn't understand hormones like I should. And I found that out when I tried to help my wife when she started having these issues, and I saw what I did didn't work.

2:20 And she is a high performing women women, she's a doctor, we had two kids, and hey, she was losing it. And so that's when we discovered all of this, how to test for hormones, how to look at patterns, what's going on. It's not esrogen, it's cortisol. It's not the lack of estrogen, it's lack of just So that's what we learned all this. It was really from that. And so now this is twenty five, thirty years later, and these women are still having the same issues that my wife was having. And now thirty years later, it's just more of these women. Okay, it's more of them because they've been out in the workplace and been going to you know, college and professional schools. And I will tell you that the doctors who are a part who are coming to learn those women are dealing with the same issues and they're trying to help people and they can't help themselves. My wife was a psychiatrist and she said, hey, look, I'm going in trying to help these people who have these emotional ups and downs and I'm having them, so how in the world can I help them? So I know that these same high performing women are having to say And let me tell you, I'm calling it high performing women. If you're a woman and you are dealing with just life, whether you're a single mom or you sing whatever, and this is me and men too. So I just see it more women, I guess because I'm originally trained as at obgyn, but they are all of these women. And again, if you are a homemaker, I saw this one woman. She's a doing homeschooling. That is

3:52 a high performing woman. Okay, So I don't want you to think you have to have a big time job if you're doing anything and it is demanding and you're being pulled in all different directions, and sometimes in women as they're volunteering too much or they're trying to help too many other people and they need to first help themselves. And that's why when you go on the flight, they say, put the mask on you first, then you help somebody else. And my wife understood that you can't help anybody else, you can't lead anybody else, you can't perform like you want to if you are not helping yourself first. So I want you to see what this is costing you. And that's why I've done three. I may do another one on it. I'm thinking about doing a series. What does it cost you in your marriage? What does it cost you in your performance at work? What does it cost you in your community? You're not able to provide any help in the community, so anyway, so that's what we're talking about the cost of harmone confusion, and I can't believe that thirty years after, twenty five years after we wrote this book, are Your Harmones Making You Sick?

4:58 And the other book, The Stress Connection, that people are still confused and they're getting confusing information. That's the real problem. They're getting it from their physicians. And again I'm not anti doctor, I am a doctor. I'm just saying there's a lot of confusion. And since this FDA has lifted the black box warning, it seems like it's become the wild wild West and anything goes. And so that's what we're trying to prevent. This is a This is an inflection point where women need to understand women and men. You need to understand the effect that hormones and stress has on you and so you can identify it and now you can start doing something about it. So that's enough of my monologue. We're going to go to the slabs real quick, all right, the hidden costs of harmone confusion for high performing women. I'm just going to focus on women right now because I've had I had some cases over the last two three four weeks that just has told me, look, you got to keep talking about this.

5:55 And again I told you that one of my problems is I think if I say something once that everybody in the world has heard it, and so I have to get over that. And that repetition is what changes behavior and transforms people. So here we go. I know you came back to me, but we're gonna get going, all right, So let's look at it. Let's look at the next life so we can go through this kind of systematically here all right, So we're gonna go to the next line. All right. So this is not about symptoms. When I do my TikTok, I list eleven symptoms chin here, fibroids, a hair loss, mood swings, brain fog. But it's not about the symptom. This is about what those symptoms cost you in performance. It's about the relationships that you either lose or you miss out on because you have these symptoms and you don't pursue relationships. And this is about your identity. I know when my wife stopped doing the country and she came home for five years, she felt like she lost her identity. But now she understands she can have multiple identities and she can transform. You change identities all the time where a student. Now you're married, Now you're a mother, now you're a grandmother. You know so, so it's always these changes. So it's if when your hormones are straight, you can focus in on what your true identity is and it's not what the labels are, but it's what your true identity really is. Right, high performing women are paying a hidden price. They keep functioning

7:26 at home, but they know they're not providing everything they could at home. They feel guilty that they're not giving the children the attention or the husband the attention, or they can't keep the house clean, or they can't do all these things, but they keep trying, trying and trying, and they keep producing, they keep producing, but underneath their physiology is all and they know it, and they come in and they say it, and then they think, it's all these different things. We're going to talk about it. But they know that the symptoms are trying to tell them something, but they feel it, and they are desperate to try and find the answers because they don't want to let their children and their husband and their and their employers, or if they're entrepreneurs, they don't want to let their business suffer because they're suffering. So what harm on confusion looks like. These are these symptoms that I'm talking about, you know, fatigue, poor sleep all right, mood shifts, waking up at three o'clock in the morning, you can't go back to sleep, you can't. You can't manage your weight anymore. So it's giving you, you know, self image problems and you have a loss of resilience. That's the key is that. And I'll tell you my story as an obgyn. When I was delivering babies, getting up at three o'clock and going delivery baby, deliver babies. When I was in my thirties, it was exhilarating. I was excited, I'm doing something I'm doing, going to do the C section.

8:50 When I got in my forties. Now, when I was in my thirties, I could get two hours of sleep and go back to the office and do it all over again. It wasn't a big deal. That's what we did internship when I was in my twenties and thirties. So, but then when I got in my forties, that was I couldn't do it anymore. It took me two weeks to recover. If I had to get up in the middle of the night, so you lose your resilience, you don't bounce back, and that's because you're waking up at three o'clock in the morning and your quarter is all this off, so you're fatigued. And we'll talk about that, But those are not the real problem. The real problem is what the symptoms cost over time. That's the problem. If you don't focus on this, if you don't try and identify this and correct it, it's going to cause you real problems over time. And it's compounding effect, the compounding effect of these issues. So what is the hidden cost strained relationships? That is a big one. I've had two or three podcasts and videos about strained relationships, and these happen at certain times, and I'm going to talk about that a little bit later, but I'll tell you there's certain times where hartmones shift. One is postpartum women get postprium depression because the lack of progesterone. We're going to talk about that in perimental Pause. I'll tell you, even when a woman gets pregnant, her emotions are all all over the place, and then as postpartum emotions are all over the place. In perimental polus. There's another shift.

10:15 Emotions are all over the place, even during your reproductive age. Okay, if you're having PMS or PCOS, those are progesterone deficiency problems, and those can cause emotional upheaval, so strained relationships, and whenever you whenever you don't feel good, you're going to blame the person who's closest to you. So it's usually your spouse or whoever's closest to you, and it's your children. That's what was going on with my wife, is that she was fussing at the children for no reason. So you get reduced confidence. You're not as confident in any of your decisions, your health decisions, your decisions. When you're talking about home, what should we do for dinner, that's becomes a big, a big deal. You have stalled performance.

10:58 You want to move forward in or relationships, you want to move forward in your employment or whatever your business is doing. But you're too tired, you're too moody, you can't you can't focus. You have all this emotional volatility, so you may say the wrong thing to the wrong person and it destroys, it destroys an opportunity for you, and then the unnecessary referrals. I get so many people who said they've been to all of these doctors. They've been to the gasterinurologists because they have some you know, gut issues. They go on to the intercrenologists because the ogan didn't answer their questions. They've gone to the hematologists trying to figure out why they're bleeding or why they're iron deficient. Well, it's because they are lack of progesterone.

11:42 So now the esergen causes the indimudual lining or the lining of the units to grow too much. And so now you have heavy bleeding. You don't need to go to a hematologist. You need to understand your hormones. Okay, So all of these referrals, all of these tests is being done until you go to a hematologists. Sometimes it's three hundred bucks to walk in the door, all right, And all the medications you've tried and had side effects from, and now that's caused you to miswork. So it's so many costs. And that's what I'm trying to tell people is that the cost of confusion, of hardmone confusion is enormous, and the cost of clarity it is minuscule. Compared to the cost of confusion. I just want you to think about that, all right. So case example, high performing women came woman came in. This was two three days ago, exhausted, discouraged, and still looking for answers. And she's looking at this podcast.

12:35 I'm not going to save your name, but she's she's from a country in North Africa, and she's lived on three continents. And she said that she's done so much research, and so she went out trying to find somebody who would do a saliva test on her. All right, so let's show this. So here's what she thought. She thought she may have low iron. She was told. Now, this is not just what she was thought. What she was what she thought. This this is what different doctors had told her. They told her, Oh, it's his stress is low iron. Your fare tune is low. Even though your humoglobin is all right, your fair tune is low. So you need some more iron. Well, you know, you're just getting older. This lady was an entrepreneur. She was she and her husband were entrepreneurs. So he said, oh, you're just getting older. Said, oh, you're just doing too much.

13:20 That's your problem. That's why you have all of these symptoms. So she was like, no, that's not the answer. She had done her own research. She said she'd done two or three years of research, and she knew she was supposed to have a saliva test and that I told her. I said, I am so happy you came in because that is telling me that it is possible, that it is possible for a woman to demand something and tell the doctor or whoever the health care provide is that you can't provide this for me, I'm going somewhere else, somewhere else. And that's exactly what she did. Okay. She went to multiple doctors, she asked for saliva testing, and she was either dismissed or redirected. And let me tell you, And what happens is is that doctors are down on what they're not up on. Okay, So if they're not up on saliva testing, more than likely they're going to discourage it because they're not sure if it's and I understand they're not sure if it's valid. They've never heard of it before. Why have not heard of it? When I first found out about this, I was like, I just left my residency five or six years ago. Hey, I wouldn't they have taught me this. If this was important, and that's what doctors think, well, I would have been taught this. Somebody would have come by and said this.

14:31 What let me tell you, Big Farmer is not into this. So they're not sending reps, saliva testing reps to the office. They're not putting saliva testing commercials on TV right because this is while it's more money in trying to help you stop the symptom for twenty four hours than to actually provide the actual information so that you can eliminate the problem, it's much more profitable for the pharmaceutical industry to have you take a peace every day to get rid of the hot flash instead of you fixing the problem that caused the hot flash. So that's what that's what happens. So you just get dismissed, you get this, you get redirected, and the doctor just if he can't answer your question, he wants to send you somewhere else.

15:17 And I actually have told doctors that are like, look, one of the joys of medicine is being able to answer a question that other people can't answer. That you're a source of knowledge for these for these patients. So you're missing out on that just think you could answer so many questions if you would incorporate this, and you out there listening, I want you to start doing. What this lady is said is that if you don't provide this for me, I'm going somewhere else. You vote with your wallet and you vote with your feet. All right, this is the turning point. When women start asking better questions, the old model starts to crack. And let me tell you, twenty five years ago, the only reason why I'm doing salve attesting because a patient walked in the door and ask me about it. So that's how important you are.

16:03 If you go to the right doctor who's willing to learn and willing to listen, you can change that doctor's practiced so you could talk to one. And I'm not telling you to go in and start arguing with doctors, Kate. I'm just saying some doctors will say, wow, that's interesting, tell me more about it, and I have a course for that. So I'm trying to hit this from all angles, you guys, But I will tell you that you are my marching foot soldiers that are going to create this crack in this old model. Okay, it's like marching around the wall seven times, it will eventually crack. It will eventually crack, all right, So what happened She finally got tested and she got tested correctly. Somebody listened and went and got up saliva tests and they were this is what the surprise was for the doctor. She had low progesterone key harmonial and balance that had gone undetected through conventional testing because I was doing blood testing color it was normal local jests. And then she had an abnormal quartosol rhythm, a disrupted stress hormone pattern. What happened is she said, in the morning, she's really anxious, and you know what, a quartasol was really high first thing in the morning, but then it dropped dramatically at noon. So she said, I wake up anxious and then I have no energy for the rest of the day. And then I wake up at two or three o'clock in the morning.

17:24 And so I'm like, this is the perfect this is this is what I see all the time. Now. What the doctor said, Wow, he was surprised. He had never heard of testing for cortisol. Now that's the problem, okay, and that's why you don't get the answer, because this is not something I learned in medical school. This is not something that's in the regular continuing medical education of physicians because that's primarily supported by the pharmaceutical industry. You have to get outside of the box. I have this learning module for doctors is beyond the white coat. We got to get beyond this white coat. I put this white coat on so you can see that I'm a doctor, but I'm way beyond the white coat because the white coat is very constraining. It's conventional medicine is very constraining.

18:14 They don't like for you to think outside the box, all right, So and then the deeper truth appeared. She did not have five separate problems. She had one pattern low progesterone, disrupted cortisol. I will tell you that ninety percent of the issues that you're dealing with are due to two problems. The wrong testing and looking at the wrong hormones in the wrong place. Okay, and we're replacing hormones that don't need to be replaced. There's this fad about giving pellets and giving estrogen and testosterone to pellets to patients, and those are not the hormones we should be concerned about. We should be concerned about progesterone and cortisol, not estrogen and testosterone. So that is the confusion in the more people look at the wrong tests, the more confused you're going to get, and the more confusing solutions are going to be provided because they're not identifying the real problem. I don't know how more clearly I can say that, all right, if you look in the wrong place, you're going to get the wrong answer. So again, you don't have many problems. You have a pattern that is repeatable.

19:27 I see it. I'm telling you, I don't know the last time I've seen a normal saliva test in my office, because most of the time, by the time you come to me, you've been to all of those referrals. If you paid hundreds or thousands of dollars on supplements, you've gone and had weight our gym memberships that you ended up didn't use it because you didn't lose weight, and so you have all of these problems. But really it just comes down to correcting two things tests right, and then you replace the correct hormones. So these are the two most common drivers, no doubt about it. Progesteron and balance and quarters are rhythm disruption. So rebel I don't know if you have any questions yet, but I'm trying to see if this gets across how much if you just look back, If some of these women look back and just think about how much it has cost them, do they see themselves in what I'm talking about. So, I don't know if we have any questions, but I'm trying to make this where you see how much this is costing you.

20:31 They have questions on what type of things do you have to do for this test? Oh, okay, so here's what you do. It's simple. If you decide to do the test, we can have a link or anyway, and well you can go to my links. So here's what next time. I'll bring in saliva kit. It's very simple. It's four little tubes. It's like two ccs. It'll take you three or four minutes to fill up the tube. All right, you make more saliva than you think, so it's four two. You collect your saliva over the course of the day, four times during the day. So if you haven't seen a saliva test result, the quarters are curves, should behind in the morning and low at night, so you have a lot of quotas on in the morning because it's mobilizing glucose so you have energy during the day. So it's how in the morning low at night.

21:19 So we want to see what your curve looks like. Most of the time the curve instead of being high in the morning all low at night, it is low in the morning and high at night. So people are tired during the day because they're not mobilizing enough Blue Coast, and then at night they have trouble sleeping or they wake up at three o'clock in the morning. If you can't go to sleep, it's a progesteral problem. If you can't if you wake up at three o'clock in the morning's usually a quarters all problem. So anyway, you you freeze it overnight, you send it in in two weeks, I get a report back, and I actually go over a video review and tell you exactly what's going on. It'll send you it'll I'll tell you what products you might need, and usually it's only two Adrena care and serene time. We don't hand out ten thousand supplements. You just need one or two supplements. We figured out when we did tailor and de formulations that people aren't going to take Most people aren't going to take ten supplements for a long period of time, but you can if you combine, combine ingredients, you can get a more effective result by using less pills that have a combination of products instead of giving you individual things our combination of ingredients or natural products. So anyway, so that's what you would do. You send that off and then I'll tell you exactly what you need to do. If you would like to have what we call a discovery call or become a patient, you can do that. But really I'm trying to make this available as easy as possible. Now the test costs three ninety five, but if you go to the checkout, you can divide it up over four

22:50 payless interest free. There's a firm there, and then you can actually use kliner or whatever and you can stretch it out over a year with a slight little tintrist payment. So we're trying our best to get this available to you, even though your doctor may not know about it. I am trying to make it available to anybody who wants this so we can end harmone confusion. That is my goal. That's my goal is that we end harmone confusion. Is that people understand that the way to measure harmones is through saliva, and you will not take no for an answer, Okay. And if they don't, if they don't provide it for you, you need to move on. Sooner or later. You're going to get to someone who is willing to help you.

23:35 And if you can't find anybody, you can go to my links, go to the stand store and you can purchase one there. All right, we have another question about that, all right, good, all right. The question is does the saliva change during the day. That's why you get results. Yeah, well, that's why you do. For samples one, that quarters occurve is pretty set. That's why you wake up at the same time every morning. That's why you go to sleep pretty I get sleepy at the same time. That curve is set. It doesn't change, Okay, it can change. Let me tell you how that changes. If you go to California and I'm in the Eastern time zone, I will wake up at four o'clock in the morning. If I wake up at seven o'clock here, if I stay out there longer than my quarters, all curve will change based on that day night cycle. So that takes time to change. Now, do harmones change over time? Yes, So what we do is that those four collections, they pool those and then they look at the total result.

24:32 And we're not looking at the total we're looking at the balance of the estrogen and progestero. So anyway, yeah, so it covers both of them. It covers the change and then also Harmon's change based on where you are in your cycle. So you have to do that at the right time. So it's all about doing it at the right time if you want to get the right answer. And that's what I'm saying is that you have to understand these cycles so that you know when to do the tenent. But still that's not too hard either, all right, So I hope I answer that, have another question, that's fine. We can answer questions and go to the go to the break because I want people. I want people to really understand this so that they have enough information to make a decision. And that's I want it to be a decision that you make, not a decision that I frightened you into or forced you into. But you say, wow, this is me, I understand this, I need to do this, all right. That's what I'm trying to get you is that you have enough information that you are sold on this and you know that this is this is the right answer for you. All right.

25:32 So another question, Yes, the next question, if you drink the night before? How long do you have to wait before you took the test? Or yeah, drinking drinking regular things during today, So I think they want to know if you had alcohol the night before or something. Yeah. Wait, let me tell you the only yeah, the only thing that changes this test is if you drink caffeine on the day of the test, because it's going to artificially raise your CORTERSOL. And that's why I say that, that's why Starbucks is a multimillion or billion dollar company. And you see those long lines in the morning, I tell you that all of those people probably have low morning QUARTERSOLS and they need the caffeine to fill in that energy gap. So you just think, if your energy level is here, and it should be here, the way you fill in that gap is through carbohydrates and caffeine.

26:18 That's why people are drinking cokes in the morning. That's why you have donuts in the morning. You're using those simple carbohydrates to fill up the energy gap. If you fix your quarters, all your cravings go away. I've seen this over and over again, you stop having to fill up the energy gap. So that's why Starbucks works. So alcohol really doesn't cause a problem. The only thing is that you can't have caffeine on the day of the test because we want to see what your baseline quarters all is, so that's the only thing you have to not do based on the test, or if you're taking hormones, I'll give you instructions on how you're supposed to stop those a day or two before the test, so we see what your baseline hormone level is, so then we know what to actually give view and it's a it's not calculated, it's actually based on what your marmoes are doing.

27:05 All right, any other questions because I know we're almost at break and then we'll go to the next half. So we have an aside from caffeine. Is there any fasting before or during this test? No? No, So here's let me tell you exactly what you'll do, all right, So the first thing you wake up and you and I tell people, go ahead and brush your teeth and get all the crud out of your mouth. And so then thirty minutes later you're going to collect that sample and it's just a small tube. I don't have one sitting right here, but it doesn't take long, and you put it in the freezer. You wait approximately four hours later, and you do it again because we want to see what your curve does over the course of the day. So at that point, we don't want you to eat thirty minutes before because we don't want to eat blood in it. So just think if you eat a potato chrip or something and it nikes your gum, you don't even see the blood, it still causes a problem. So now you do another one four hours later. You just don't eat anything thirty minutes before, and another one right before you go to bed, so we see what your curve is doing. So that's all you have to do. Don't eat anything right before just because we don't want any blood in the sample because it miss the sample up. That's all you have to do.

28:10 I've had hundreds and thousands of one hundred of one thousand women that do this test. It's easy to perform. You can do it, it's no problem, and it's going to bring you clarity. And again the test is three ninety five. Just think, I guarantee you you've spent more than three ninety five on supplements over the last two months, and on the medication you might not be taking our copay of going back to the doctor or whatever. So and once you do it, you know what is going on and then you move on from there. All right, So I know it's time for a break, and we have some more questions. I'll answer those because I want you to feel confident about doing this, all right, So let's go to break.

28:52 We are going to a quick break, So stay with us as we explore the ageless Blueprint right here on W four HC Radio and Talk for TV, an ancient secret with a modern twist for better health and vitality.

29:51 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 are back again. Thank you. I'm doctor Taylor. I'm a hormone doctor and the spiritual MD. And right now we're really talking about hormones. But then hey, look the spiritual part comes because I'm telling you it's hard to be spiritual. It's hard to relax, it's hard to pray, it's hard to meditate when your hormones are out of way. Okay, and so it's costing you a deeper connection spiritually or whatever you think. If you think that's whatever higher power you think, I feel like it gives you a it makes it difficult for you to connect to anything greater than yourself. So again, this is a widespread problem, and it's a global problem. I told you this lady who we're talking about, she's she's been here for four years, but she was in Northern Africa, said, I've been on three different continents trying to get my answer. And so that's what I'm telling you. If This is not an American medical system problem. This is a global problem. And since I've been on social media, I begin to understand that.

31:00 And that's why I'm so passionate about this, that this is something that's simple to solve. You just got to understand your body, all right. So do we have any other questions? Yes? Okay, great? A guy wanted to know and he said, he knows you're doing the show for women today, but does this pertain to men? Can men do the slab of testing as well? Yes? Yes, that's why I said today I'm focused on women. But yes, let me tell you a lot of men who are on testosterone and they keep upping their dose. Is not a testosterone problem, it's a quartisol problem. So yours is different from progest on in cortisol, but yours is probably be testosterone in courtisol. And even though I'm talking to women, let me tell you, you need to understand this men, all right. You need you need to understand this. So you so, if you're listening to this and your wife isn't, you gotta be very careful, but you ought to tell her, Hey, I think this guy might help you. Send it to my YouTube channel or tell her to follow me on TikTok. So I think men need to understand this so they don't so they can understand what their wife is going through, so they don't take it personally when they are not feeling intimate or whatever. So yes, it pertains to men because it may be cortisol and you may be on too much testops from and that's why it's not working because they're looking in the wrong place to monitor you. So yes, if men are on hormone replacement, they need to be tested by. If women are on harmone replacement, they need to be tested by some life. And I'm going to

32:30 tell you women, if you are on hormone replacement, especially if you're on estras, you need to be tested properly, okay, because if not, you're playing Russian roulette. I'm just telling you you are, okay, So whether I don't, I don't care how you got on it. If you're on it, you need to be monitored or properly. And that's not in the blood. So I can't be more forceful about that. I'm telling you, Uh, that's just science based, its physiology based. You don't take on a estrogen because it can stimulate growth that's unchecked and unchecked growth is the definition of cancer, pure and simple. All right. So that's why it's so important. I'll tell your men, if you take too much testosterone and you have fat tissue, it'll be aroumatized into estrogen that increases your clotting factors and can increase your risk of heart attack. All right. So I'm just telling you the physiologic based truth. I'm not trying to trying to be a fear mangera. I'm just telling you this is how your body reacts to harmones. All right. Another question, This.

33:33 One's about caffeine. Okay, there's caffeine and lots of things. Are you only talking about coffee or tea when you're talking about caffeine for the day of test or all chocolates or whatever. Yes, yeah, I will tell you to avoid anything that might have caffeine in. It's just for you know, twelve hours. You can't do it, you know. I've had some people say, oh my god, I don't know if I can do it. If somebody says they can't they can't function without cafe, They've got a quarter's all issue, pure and simple. I almost don't even have to do the t It's okay to drink coffee because you like the smell of coffee, or you like the aroma coffee, or maybe it does give you a little bit of a pickup. But if you feel like you can't survive a morning without your caffeine, then you definitely have a quarters all problem. All right?

34:20 So yeah, anyway, so another question, this is great. It was followed up by they don't know what what is what the caffeine is in? That's why the questioning. They know what's in? Yeah, that's the big thing. You're not that, Yeah, that's that's the only thing you got to worry about. Really is coffee. Uh, that's gonna are these diet coats? A lot of times that coakes have caffeine in it. And of course no energy drinks all of that. So just try and eat as clean as possible. Yeah, no energy drinks, no, none of that. All right. So another question, The next question is you said something about freezing it. Do you have to Is it one tube you do you freeze that, you do it again in the same tube or is this different tubes?

35:02 Oh no, it's four different tubes, four different tubes. They're color coded. Let me tell you. It's very simple. And if you go to my stand store that's where I have it, or just go to my links or dm me or whatever. I have a video that tells you how to do it. I have some other videos tell you why you should do saliva testing. And it goes through a little bit of the science of it. It goes step by step. There's instructions in the kit. You almost can't mess this up, Okay, So I don't want you to think that it's just me. Here's what happens. Everybody's used to going and getting their blood drone. They know exactly what's going to happen. They go there to put a tourniqut on somebody with a needle, and they're going to drouble it. They know, they know it. People are worried about the unknown. Oh wow, I don't know if I can do this. I never heard of this before.

35:47 Believe me, we'll walk you through it. It's simple. I've had paces. They know, hey, look it's time for my saliva test. They know it all right, So don't worry. You'll figure it out. And you don't even have to figure it out. There's all types of instructions for you all right, one more question then I'm gonna try and finish the slats. Okay, let's go with this one. Okay, I'm sorry there's a few questions, but we'll go with this one. And ladies and gentlemen, if we have not gotten to your questions, please tune in again. Find doctor Taylor on TikTok and all platforms. YouTube, all of that, hit my social media ex Yes, go ahead. This question is involving going back to the caffeine thing.

36:28 If the caffeine shouldn't be had that day, will it screw up the test? And how do you have to do it over again? If it gets messed up up. You're not going to have to do it over again. I don't want you to have caffeine because it'll artificially raise your cortisol for that day, all right, So that's just reaction to the caffeine. So I just don't want to see that. Then I say, oh, you're fan because you drank coffee, and you're really not fine. You're fan because you drank the coffee. So I don't want you to think that that's a you know, a big deal. Just don't drink coffee that day. I'll make it simple. Don't drink coffee that day, and don't drink a caffeine to tea, and don't drink a energy drink. Just get through that day, and then as soon as you finish that test, you can hype yourself up on coffee as much as you want, all right, So one more question, go ahead, go there.

37:18 What if you're fast until a certain time in the day, Like, not intentionally, but what if you don't eat or have anything other than your morning whatever, It doesn't matter. The only thing you gotta worry about is don't drink any caffeine or don't get exposed to too much caffeine. Other than that, there's no real restriction, all right. So yeah again, Hey, look, if you go and click, it'll have instructions there. So I don't want you to think that this is something that you can screw up easily. It's hard for you to mess this up, it really is. That's the only the only restriction, and even in instruction, that's all it's going to tell you. All right. So I'm gonna finish this real quickly while we got ten minutes, and then if there's some more questions at the end, I'll try go through this quickly because I like the fact that you're asking questions. Thank you. That means that you're really considering this, and that's what I want to happen, all right. So why high performing women get hit so hard because they can function through dysfunction until the cause becomes too high. Women will push themselves, okay, they feel this obligation to other people more than they do to themselves.

38:24 And I see this all the time, you know, is that the women they'll do all these things for their kids and then I tell them, but what about you, And well, no, I'll do that later, and later becomes twenty years later after the kids actually go to college. All right, So this shows up everywhere, going okay, this shows up everywhere. So it shows up at home, like I told you, you know, with my wife fussing at the kids, she's fussing at me. It shows up in your leadership again with my wife, she's like, how can I go to the office and deal with women who have anxiety and depression? And I've got anxiety and depression. It shows up in your marriage again. You don't feel good, You're going to blame You're going to blame your spouse. Every time I feel bad. You're here, so it must be you. So you're going to feel it at work.

39:06 You're going to say things to your coworkers that you probably shouldn't say. You can get up at a presentation and you get anxious or you start to have a hot flash and you get embarrassed and forget your subject, and so on and so forth again. In parenting, all, you know, we see women who feel like they are not providing everything they should for their kids. And some of it may be trying to be super mom, but that's just how women. They want to be there for their family. And when they're not feeling good, they're fatigued. They walk up at three o'clock in the morning, and they still got to get the kids to their practices and to their you know, summers coming up. I gotta get them to camp. We gotta do their homework, all of these things, and you're running almost unempty, and then you lose your confidence. You say, I can't show up at home, I can't show up at work. What is going on with me? I can't? And I have these women who are forty years old old and they've gone through and seen all these docs and it's like, oh my God, I'm gonna have to live the rest of my life like this. If you heard my interview with Quasi, he's this transformational guy who really helped me. Well he's a young guy, but his wife was postpartum. I'm I'm gonna get to that. His wife was postpartum. Okay, these hormonal trans transitions are real. When you're pregnant, you make a lot of progesterone. Progesterone is an antidepressant, anti anxiety harmone.

40:27 So that's why you can be happy and still be fifty sixty pounds heavier because we have this baby. Well, as soon as that placenta is removed, now that anti anxiety and anti depressant harmone, depression harmone is gone. Now almost every woman gets the baby blues. But some women like this person who's twenty six years old, for a year and a half, had been having these issues, all right, and then I convinced him, even though she's twenty six, twenty seven, do the saliva test. She did the saliva tests. We found the pattern low progesterone, disrupted cortisol. We fixed her. Some month later, he asked me, did I drug her? No, we just corrected the pattern. Another person we talked about, very big time executive in a billion dollar company, had a baby, almost incapacitated for a year, corrected her issues, got a promotion to a senior vice president. That's what I'm talking about. If we hadn't gotten this figured out, I don't know what her future would be, all right.

41:29 So that's what I'm talking about. This is important, you guys. So the body responds to physiology, not the labels, not the anxiety, not to burnout, not to just aging. It responds to the physiology. It's going to act like that, okay, all right, So physiology that's how your body responds, all right. So the real problem hard most are not confusing. They are being tested wrong, and they're being ignored, and they're not being taken seriously for what they cause or what the cost is to everyone, not just women. And you got to think you can say what you want. Women are the backbone of the family. Okay, I'm sorry, man, They're the backbone of the family. So when mama's not happy, nobody's happy. And that can not be more true. So here's what we need to do. You need to stop guessing, okay, and you need to start understanding. You need to demand the right test. Okay, women, you have a voice. Okay, you just need to use it, and you need to be confident enough to go in and ask for what you want and if you don't get it, you move on. Okay, you want to find a pattern. If you can't find a doctor, hey, go to my links. We'll send you the kit. I'll send you the results and you'll know exactly what's going on. And that's how you restore your edge. Okay, you can get back to where you were. Now, you may have to change some things. And we're talking about what I'm doing. I'm building an app. Now, this is what I see. Patients who come in, we do this,

43:02 we get them better. But here's what happens. They go back and they do the same things they got them into that situation. Because now they're feeling better, they go back and do the same thing. I'm creating an app called Metabolic, a Metabolic blueprint, and it is a daily coaching guy to change your habits so that the things that we have accomplished they stick. Because what I see is that they'll get better, they go back and then two or three years later we have to start all over again. I don't want that to happen. So I got an app as a daily I'm making where it has everything you need to maintain your edge, all the things you can do to decrease anxiety. I'm impressed with the app. I just got to get it just right to launch it. But I want you to. I want you to follow me, go to my channels, do all this because I'm really I am doing everything. I am learning AI at a at a rapid pace because I want AI to be able to create or to conceptualize what I've been doing for thirty years and package it so that I can I can share it with the world.

44:10 That is my goal. Because AI can change languages, I can do all these things. So I am on a mission to end hard on confusion, and I use this phrase, I'll do it by any means necessary. That is what I'm talking about, you guys. So all right, we got like three minutes left. If there's some more questions, I'll be happy to take those and you know, message me, DM me do whatever you need to do. All right, So any more questions rebel, yes? Okay, So back to the fasting one. Okay, if you fast, does it change in blood since it doesn't change in salva. This is related to a test. Why did they make you fast for blood tests?

44:51 Oh? Because they're looking Oh the reason why they make you fast for blood tests because they're looking at your blood sugar levels. So they wanted to be your baseline level, not because you ate a donut two minutes before. Also, your lipid profile. If you eat a heavy fat meal, your cholesterol is going to be high. You just haven't had time for your body to clear out the cholesterol from the blood. So that's why if so, you gotta you gotta have to understand you guys, when you're looking for different things, you have to do different tests under different conditions. Okay, so yeah, that's important for blood, but it's not important for saliva because I'm not looking at glucose or anything or cholesterol are things that are found in the blood. So so that's that's the that's the issue.

45:32 You just got to know where to look and when to look and all of that. All right. Another question, The next question is if you have any kind of dental work, does that change? Yeah, well, you know what if if you have any bleeding, you got gum issues, peridonal disease, Yes, that can be an issue. We've had a couple of those where they had bleeding of the gums that they really could not uh, they really could not control. There was blood in the sample of those blood in these everything up. So so yeah, so if you have gum disease, it can be an issue. Any other questions, I hope you don't hear that background. North child abduction Amber alert. Sorry folks, that okay, So sorry, it's something I can't control.

46:17 Oh, that's no problems. It's almost done anyway. Sorry folks. If you are in the batonage area, please pay attention to your Amber al alerts. Next question is how long does it take to get the results of the test? Two weeks? Okay, so when you send it in, I should get the results in two weeks. I can see the website so I can see if the test is completed. I can tell you if the test has gotten there you'll get You send it off in a FedEx label. It goes to the lab and the label that sends you has my information on it, so the results come back to me. Then I will send you a video and an email that explains everything, and I send that back to you if you'd like to have a one on one call. You can do that. So so yeah, that's how all of that works. And I know we're over time now, Rebel and a rebel email me and I'll take care of what we were talking about earlier.

47:09 Right, sounds good? All right, okay, all right, see you guys. Thanks for all the questions. I really appreciate it. Thanks for joining doctor Taylor today.
