Here's your host, Doctor Eldred Taylor's.
15
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.599
Hello everyone. I am doctor Taylor. I am the heartmone
16
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.280
doctor and the spiritual MD, and I'm so glad you
17
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.959
joined me here this Wednesday. It's the first Wednesday in
18
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:18.120
February of twenty twenty six, so we can get a
19
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:22.359
brand new start on everything. This is a new year,
20
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.879
it's a new day, so it's a new way to
21
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.359
live and it's a new way to think. And the
22
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.879
reason why I said it's a new way to think
23
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.959
because I, you know, I have to look back and say,
24
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.319
how have I evolved and adapted, you know, over this
25
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.239
thirty year career. So you know, I started as an
26
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.719
objan and somehow, some way, I read a book called
27
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.560
Thinking for a Change and it's by John Maxwell, and
28
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.079
I became a disciple of John Maxwell. He's an excellent speaker.
29
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.879
I actually took his course. I'm a certified John Maxwell speaker.
30
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.560
So I read all of his books. But it started
31
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:03.599
from that book called Thinking for a Change, and it
32
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:07.159
made me start thinking differently about what I do, about
33
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.159
being an obji in and about being you know, a
34
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.280
doctor in general. And it kind of took me away
35
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.879
from thinking like a conventional doctor into thinking like a
36
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:21.520
functional medicine doctor. And what I have determined is that
37
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:23.639
what I'm really trying to get you guys to do
38
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.560
is to think differently, because once you start thinking differently,
39
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.000
you can be independent. You don't need me, you don't
40
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:36.000
need a doctor. You don't need because you are thinking independently.
41
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.800
And it's all about changing the way you think. And
42
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.240
so today we're going to talk about changing how you
43
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:48.800
think about stress and how you think about disease. Because
44
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.919
we in conventional medicine, we wait till the lab values.
45
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.280
The conventional lab values show us that you have a disease.
46
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.280
But what goes on because you know, the day you
47
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:03.199
get diagnosed with diabetes or PCOS or whatever, it wasn't
48
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.719
like you were one hundred percent normal the day before
49
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.960
and then all of a sudden you have a disease. No,
50
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.719
it doesn't happen like that. It is a process, and
51
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.039
what you want to do is you want to interrupt
52
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:18.120
that process. So if you can understand the basic physiology
53
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:22.000
why you get diseases, you can look upstream because I'm
54
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.639
telling you, by the time you get fibroids and by
55
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.520
the time you get any kind of condition, a lot
56
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.879
of stuff has happened upstream. So we want to always
57
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.479
look upstream. You know, we wrote two books. One was
58
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.560
All Your Hormones Making You Sick, because we were worried
59
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.879
about downstream the hormones and fiberants because I'm going to objuyn.
60
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.800
But about two or three years later we figured out
61
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.000
that that wasn't the answer. We wrote the book called
62
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.560
the Stress Connection because it really didn't connect until we
63
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.400
understood stress. So and then I told you I read
64
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.840
a study that said seventy five to ninety percent of
65
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.439
all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related
66
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:03.000
complaints or disorders. So if I am an expert on stress,
67
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.719
and if you're an expert on stress, you will know
68
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.039
the root cause of seventy five to ninety of the
69
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.599
reasons why you go to the doctor. So that's what
70
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.919
we're going to talk about today, is how are we
71
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.560
going to think differently about the diseases or the symptoms
72
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.040
that we have. And we're going to always be looking upstream,
73
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.920
all right, So let's let let's start with the slads
74
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.160
rebel all right? Let me see can we make those
75
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.480
bigger so I can see them all right? Right right here?
76
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.199
All right? So here is this is what I want
77
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:39.879
you to understand. The body wants to live even though
78
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.639
you keep trying to kill it. Okay, it is always
79
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.680
about survival. So let me tell you basically, here's what
80
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.800
the ageless blueprint is. It is all about how can
81
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.000
your body survive and how can it adapt even when
82
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.560
you do things that go against it? Because the human
83
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.639
body is not a machine that rates randomly. It is
84
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:06.639
a biological economy that allocates energy based on perceived return
85
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.240
on investment. So it is always looking at am I
86
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.560
saving up, am I resting and digesting, waiting to be
87
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.600
able to react to a stress. And you got to
88
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.480
understand the nature. They just have acute stressors. Okay, they
89
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.639
don't have stress for long periods of time. And that's
90
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.600
what I've learned by going on safaris. So it's saying
91
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.720
do I allocate energy and saving up energy and protecting
92
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.560
myself and resting, digesting, making sure everything is working fine.
93
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.839
So when a stress does come, I can react to it,
94
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:41.000
or I can respond to it and not just react.
95
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.120
Or am I in survival mode where I just have
96
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.879
to react. I don't have time to think. I don't
97
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.240
have temp to eat and digest. I don't have time
98
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.560
to worry about my immune system causing a problem. You
99
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.759
know two years from now that I might have cancer,
100
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.000
two years from now. I've got to allocate this energy
101
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.959
right here, right now. So what we want to look
102
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.560
at is that how is your body allocating energy? And
103
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.639
I'm going to tell you if you start thinking like that,
104
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.199
you're going to recognize all of these issues that you
105
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.879
have might all be coming from that stress. Are those
106
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.199
multiple stressors? So let's go to the next lab. All right,
107
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.480
So here's how this works. Okay, you cannot fund a
108
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.879
home renovation during a war, so you can't be repairing yourselves.
109
00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.720
So when you're at war, you got things coming at you,
110
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:33.920
you have to dodge things, you have to react quickly.
111
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:38.360
You don't have time to rebuild and restore and take
112
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.639
care of all the things that were damaged. So the
113
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.319
body operates on a strictly finite energy budget. Okay, I
114
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.279
tell people, you only have so much blood, you only
115
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.360
have so much oxygen. It can only you know, you
116
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.079
can't make more all of a sudden, so you have
117
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.879
to figure out where does your energy go. So you
118
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.639
cannot simultaneously fund the long term health projects and immediate
119
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:04.120
defense mechanisms at full capacity. So when the cost of
120
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:09.240
defense rises, the budget for maintenance is slashed. So whenever
121
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.519
you wherever, you interpret a stress. Okay, and we're going
122
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.079
to talk about what stressors are. So it doesn't necessarily
123
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.519
necessarily have to be an emotional stress or a physical stress.
124
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:22.600
It can be all or you know, it can be
125
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:26.360
all of those combined. So whenever your body see stress,
126
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.199
it is going to go into the fight or flight
127
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.040
system because that's all that knows. So let's go to
128
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.480
the next line and I'll show you. All right, So
129
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.319
there is a master switch. Okay, it does not distinguish
130
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.160
lions from emails. So this is what I'm talking about,
131
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.399
is that you go into that survival mode. You use
132
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.279
your primitive brain, so your brain doesn't know the difference
133
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.879
between a lion or a virus. That's what your body
134
00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.480
is made to detect. Okay, we are a part of nature, okay,
135
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:05.480
and all of nature they have to defend themselves against predators. Okay.
136
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.439
And our predators are our environment, what we think, what
137
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.879
we feel, what we're exposed to, the viruses, everything is
138
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:17.279
out that all of nature is like has predators. You know,
139
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.399
we know COVID. That's a predator and we had to
140
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.079
That was a stressor and we needed to be able
141
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:27.319
to have enough energy stored up to fight off COVID.
142
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:32.240
And that's why these diseases, they tend to affect the
143
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.000
people who are most vulnerable. It was children, and it
144
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:38.120
was older people because they did not have enough stored
145
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.039
up energy to fight that off. And what you got
146
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.480
to understand is that we have all kinds of emotional
147
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:47.919
threats that are trying to turn on this alarm system. Okay,
148
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.320
So all the news, the family, all of these things,
149
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.200
these external things are trying to turn that switch on.
150
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.080
And the key is can you keep the switch off
151
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.240
even though the external environment is trying to turn it on?
152
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:10.440
That is the key. And you keep yourself calm even
153
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.600
though everything outside of you is trying to turn on
154
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:17.879
that switch, and you can control it. Okay, But one
155
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.639
you would like to eliminate some of those inputs. Okay,
156
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.440
So I don't look at the news anymore, okay, because
157
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:27.759
anything you look at on the news is trying to
158
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.879
turn that switch on. And once you turn that switch on,
159
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.480
then this whole process starts. And we're going to talk
160
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.840
about that process. So you have to understand your body
161
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:39.919
does not know the difference. See, here's what you have
162
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.840
to understand is that one person can see one experience
163
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:49.080
as stressful and another person can see it as joy
164
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:52.879
and excitement. So it's all about how you interpret it.
165
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:55.039
What do you think about it. I'll tell you we
166
00:09:55.159 --> 00:10:00.159
climb this ten thousand foot mountain to see these gorillas. Now,
167
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.039
I will tell you if I'd have known what it
168
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.200
was going to take, my fight or flight system would
169
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.080
have come on and we'll try to protect me and
170
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.360
told me not to do it. I just didn't know, okay,
171
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:14.840
So but anyway, anyway, it's all how you perceive it.
172
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.000
I talk about I don't like roller coasters, so I
173
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:22.200
perceive roller coasters. My sympathetic nervous system turns on. Okay,
174
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.440
I have fight a flight. I don't want to do it.
175
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.720
I get nervous, I get sweaty. Now my kids they
176
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.639
love it. They interpret it as being joyful and excitement.
177
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.559
So it's all about how you think about things. Okay.
178
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.840
It's about how you think and how you perceive it,
179
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:42.159
because that reptilian brain, the only way it knows what's
180
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.799
happening is about what you think and how you interpret
181
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.960
what you see and what you hear and what you feel,
182
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.600
and so all of that is interpreted whether it's a
183
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.679
stress or whether it's something for you to be happy
184
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.240
about and for you to rest and enjoy. All right,
185
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:00.960
So next lighter. All right, now, when when you interpret
186
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.960
something as being a stress, it is declaring martial law
187
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.080
on your physiology. Your body thinks you have to fight
188
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:12.120
our flight, so it sends everything's to the muscles. So
189
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:17.519
the trigger is this thing called a hYP hypothemalamus land
190
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:21.440
that's in your brain. It's above the reptilian brain, okay,
191
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:23.879
And so what it does when it sees a stress
192
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.240
it turns on adrenaline. Okay. So we all know how
193
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.200
how adrenaline makes us feel. It makes us feel anxious
194
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.200
and nervous, and you know, we can't think straight because
195
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.480
we have all the stuff going on. And so then
196
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:40.360
we get this massive rerouting of energy and resources. It's
197
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:44.080
stripped down. It says, forget everything, we gotta run a fight. Now.
198
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.080
It doesn't matter that you're sitting there with your sick
199
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:50.480
child or in the in the ICU or you know
200
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.919
the nick you or whatever you're dealing with your kid
201
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.960
having problem, It doesn't matter. It thinks that, hey, we
202
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.879
gotta run a fight. So it sends everything to the muscles,
203
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.720
and so everything else gets neglected, all right, So you
204
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:08.919
get this massive redistribution of energy, and it says, forget
205
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.200
about rest and digests, we have to go toward fight
206
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:15.559
or flight. So stress isn't just a feeling in your head.
207
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.279
It is a physiological overrite switch that reroutes your blood
208
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:23.200
flow and metabolism. All right, So your body just says,
209
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.480
forget it. We've got to get out of this situation.
210
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:26.360
Right.
211
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:29.440
So here's number one. It said, Hey, we got to start.
212
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:32.559
We have to start budget cutting. We're spending too much
213
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.600
energy in other places, so we have to we have
214
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.200
to uh, you know, we have to cut some we
215
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:41.559
have to cut some services. So number one, the reproductive
216
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.000
system uses up a lot of energy. So reproduction is
217
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:48.720
one of the most expensive biological processes a body can
218
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:53.039
undertake in a wartime economy. Pregnancy is a high risk liability,
219
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.639
so you gotta you have to understand. Hey, your body
220
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.320
is saying, it's two things. It's saying, look, you don't
221
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:04.039
need to get pregnant right now, So it stops ovulation. Okay,
222
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:06.440
So it says, hey, it's not a time to get pregnant,
223
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.159
We've got to stop ovulation. Well, you know what happens
224
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.559
when you stop ovulation, Then you don't make progesterone. Right,
225
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:17.080
when you don't make progesterone, you have all of these issues.
226
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:22.639
Because esrogen makes things grow. Progesterone helps things to stop
227
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:28.000
growing and to develop normally. All right, So the brain
228
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.639
blocks the signal path to the ovars and the testees.
229
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.960
Production of expensive hormones like progesterone and testosterone is suspended
230
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.679
to conserve liquidity. So it stops testosterone in a man
231
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:42.039
because it says you don't have enough energy to start
232
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:44.840
trying to pursue women and have sex. It takes up
233
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.720
too much energy. So I'm going to lower your testosterone
234
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:51.039
so that your libido goes down, all right, and then
235
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:54.039
in women it stops ovulation. And that's why you have
236
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:57.919
PCOS and all of these issues because PCOS means you
237
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.759
have a lot of cysts that are trying to ogulate,
238
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.759
but the stress is don't do it. And so now
239
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.000
you have all of this esragen. Your esrogen dominant is
