0:59 Here's your host, Doctor Eldrick Taylor. Hello, I'm doctor Taylor and I am the Harmone Doctor and the Spiritual MD. And this is Wednesday, so that means it's time for the Ageist Blueprint podcast. And I'm excited about this one because this kind of helps me to culminate everything that I've been trying to do for the last thirty years. You know, I have been trying to preach this doctrine about harmone clarity and saliva testing and trying to get women to understand their bodies and really trying to help people change the way that they think. You know, when I first started the lecturing, I started talking about one of my core ideas was is that the problem with popular thinking is that it doesn't require you to think at all. It's easier to do what other people do and hope that they thought it out.

1:52 And I believe that that is what we do. We like to do the popular thing, okay, with everything with doctors, with patients, and I especially see it with healthcare and with heart bones especially because that's why I talk about these Facebook groups where people are asking, you know, questions of other people because they don't have clarity about, you know, what they're doing. So if you just follow popular thinking what people are doing on the Facebook and TikTok, and I'm a victim of it because I'm on TikTok trying to do this, you need to be able to think for yourself, and I feel like it takes knowledge and it takes courage in order to think for yourself. So I love this story about the caterpillar because I think it just It just really exemplifies. And I've been telling this story for I don't know how long, because there's a certain type of caterpillar called a processionary caterpillar, and processionary caterpillars the way their instincts are is that they pick a leader and then all of the other processionary caterpillars follow behind the leader. And that's great as long as that leader is doing what the processionary caterpillars are supposed to do well, what a caterpillar processionary caterpillar is supposed to do well. When it's time to eat, they go to the caterpillar restaurant and they eat. When it's time to sleep, they go to the caterpillar hotel and sleep.

3:16 When it's time to play, they go to the caterpillar playground and they play. And that works great as long as the lead caterpillar is doing what caterpillars are supposed to do. The problem comes in if you let an outside influence. If you can push, manipulate, and influence those caterpillars that lead caterpillar to go around and to see the tail caterpillar, it will believe that there's been a recall election or a special election, and there's a new caterpillar leader, so it will start start following that tail caterpillar, thinking that it's the new leader. But what's really happening. They're going around and around in circles, each thinking that the other one is leading and following caterpillar instincts, and it takes a lot of energy in order to get out of that line. Now here's the first thing. You have to recognize that you're in a caterpillar lane. When you're in the caterpillar line, you don't realize that you're following someone who's going nowhere, who is following a different instinct from what you have. Because in medicine, we should be following science and physiology. We shouldn't be following trends our opinions from these so called authorities. We need to be following basic science and physiology. And that's what I decided to do a long time ago. I got out of land. And here's the problem. When you get out of land, everybody else is trying to pull you back into lane. They don't like for someone to be outside examining what's really going on. And so it takes knowledge

4:47 and courage because you have to have enough courage to stand up against these fads of pellets and testosterone and all of that. You have to have enough knowledge and courage to think for yourself. What I did was is I have a hormone clarity bill of rights, okay, is that I feel like a movement has to start from the ground up. That's what the pharmaceutical companies do. They say they they show you a commercial and say, go ask your doctor about this medication. Well, I'm going to show you ten principles that you should have bad by, and that if anyone breaks those principles, if it's something you see on Facebook, if it's something that a doctor tells you, if it doesn't a bad by those ten bill of rights, the rights that you have as a patient to make sure that your hormones are balanced and that you feel normal, then you need to move on to someone else. And I'm hoping that if enough of you go in with these bill of rights. I have the way you can download it where you can have it on your whereas a website, is that you go in armed with these bill of rights, and hopefully the doctors will decide that they need to look at another way of looking at hormones. I'm not trying to attack them and saying something's wrong because I didn't learn this in medical school, so your doctor didn't learn it either.

6:05 But what I'm trying to do is to create enough positive reaction in patience and in clients and people who listen to my podcast, so go to YouTube that there's enough pressure that medicine has to change, all right. So let's go with the slides, rebel. We're going to start with principal number one, all right, the hormone build of rights. You have the right to understand your body. You have the right to decide what will and will not happen to you. I don't want you to give up your rights or someone to someone that doesn't know you as well as you know yourself, all right. So we're going to go through these ten rights, and I want you to really take these and incorporate them into your way of thinking. All right, So let's go to lat number one, right.

6:57 Number one, you have the right to testing that men harm one action, not just blood levels. And I put this number one because I get it just it makes me go crazy when someone says, hey, that the doctor drew my blood and he said everything's normal, and then they're on TikTok, or they're DM and me or there they're in my office telling me this long laundry list of symptoms and they're being told that their hormones are okay. Well no, what they're being told is that their blood level is within the normal range. But they're not telling you where the action is. What's happening there in the cell.

7:38 That's where you look that, that's where the saliva tells you what's going on. The action is inside the cell. So if someone tries to tell you that your hormones are okay based on a blood test, you know that it's your right to demand the proper testing in order to find out what's really going on in your cells, where the action is, where your symptoms are happening, Where that estrogen and progesterone imbalance is causing your brain fog, where it's causing your fibroids, where it's causing your irregular periods, whether it's causing your inability to sleep or stay asleep. You have the right to the proper testing. This testing has been around since nineteen sixty it's just people are unaware.

8:21 So I'm asking you to spread the information, share it with someone else. And let me tell you, there's millions of women out there, there's millions of women on Facebook and all of these places who are trying to figure out how to interpret blood levels and it's almost impossible. It's almost impossible, and that's why there's so much confusion. So right, Number one, you have the right to the proper tests to find out the information that you are asking for. All right, So that's number one. Number two, you have the right and you have the intellect to understand balance over just the deficiency. Okay, we keep trying to say that there is a deficiency. No, the problem is there is an imbalance. One system has overridden another one for one reason or another, and most of the time the reason is stressed. Okay. Stress is what disrupts this whole thing. And that's we're going to get that into another and another slide. But it's easy to understand.

9:28 Estrogen causes things to grow. Progesterone regulates that growth. Anything that esrogen does, progesterone balances it out so that it doesn't overdo anything, so it doesn't overgrow, so it doesn't overstimulate your nervous system. Because progesterone is calming it helps you to sleep, It helps your brain to calm down, It calms down your emotions. It burns fat for energy where estrogen increases are stores fat for energy. And this imbalance is why you gain weight at perimenopause, while you weight when you're under stress. Sometimes you can lose weight, our gain weight, but it's all because the system has been disrupted. And this imbalance, this is usually where people can see it or feel it with the symptoms, is through this estrogen progesteral imbalance, with the fibroids and all that, but a lot of times, and especially with PCOS, it's really happening upstream, which is happening from stress. And again that's going to be in another one of those rights.

10:26 You're going to understand how stress disrupts the whole system. That's something that we had to learn because first we wrote the book all your Harmones Making You Sick. Then we figured out that, hey, look this doesn't work one hundred percent of the time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We added the stress component. Now we're able to help more people because we really understand where this disruption is coming from. It's usually coming from stress, whether it's a physical or emotional stress, and then when you get the symptoms, that becomes an added stress, so you get in this hormone stress loop. Stress causes the hertmones to be disrupted. Then the hertmones cause more stress because you don't understand where the disruption is coming from. I had a patient who was having brain fog and insomnia. She thought she had a brain tumor. What she really had was a high nighttime cortisol and we'll talk about that, and she had an ESTRATRM, progesterone and balance. But the stress of not knowing and understanding, that's just adds the stress. Because understanding this is going to lower your stress. When I see patients in the office and I go through a lot of this, their stress level lowers because now they finally have an explanation as to why they feel like they do. So it's important for you to help me spread this message. Hey, did you know that esragen causes growth and progesterone stabilizes it. So that's what I'm looking for.

11:48 So I'm making this nice and easy. I want you to share it all right right. Number three, you have the right to pattern base an interpretation, not a single number guessing okay, So your heart moones fluctuate from day to night. Cortisols should be hind in the morning and low at night. Cortisol mobilizes glucose for energy. Okay, So cortisol you have to look at on a daily cycle. If a woman is menstruating, you have to do the testing based on a monthly cycle. And then women go through cycles and men do too. Women go through cycles, pubity, reproductive stage, perimenopauls, menopause, hormones are going to change. With all of those, their cortisol's going to change. Now you don't have a monthly cycle. Now when are you're going to test? How do you test? So there's simple, but there is some complexity to it. You just can't draw blood at ten o'clock in the morning and expect to figure out what your hormones are. You have to make sure it's timed right. You have to make sure you have enough samples for cortosol. We take four samples during the day so we can see what your daily energy output is. All right, So harmones change through the day, they changed throughout the month, they changed through the life.

13:03 So you can't just say I went and got my hertmones check and they told me everything was normal. That is just too simplistic and that's just not understanding physiology. And I'm telling you you are intelligent enough to understand this. Okay. There's just ten simple rules. And to be honest with you, just if you knew these first three, you would be way ahead of most clients. Just know that, Hey, I want the right test, I want it done at the right hand, and I want to understand that there's a balance. You just can't tell me what my esergen level is. I need to know what my progesterone level is. I need to know what time of the month you did it, all right, So with Salima testing and you understanding this, you will know this all right, the right number four you have the right to stress hertmone assessment before being labeled deficient. Okay again, I told you the reason why we wrote that book, the stress Connection, because we saw how it is connected to everything your sleep, your mood, your thyroid function. These little glands that these gold lands, I don't think you can see, my cursor, but these gold little glands at drenal glands are right above your kidneys and they produce energy, not testosterone. That's another slab, but I just got to say that we have all these women who are on testosterone saying it's going to boost their energy. They will get a little energy boost at the beginning, but we're going to talk about the long term. That you have the right to understand the

14:34 long term consequences of anything that you do. And there's some long term consequences when you take something that you really don't need, are that you're taking one thing and you should be taking something else, because that's what the real root cause is. And that's what we're going to talk about, this root cause. But anyway, I think everyone if seventy five to ninety percent, and I think it's much more than that of it's to primary care physicians or for stress related complaints and disorders. We need to be looking at their stress level. So we need to be doing saliva cortisols I think on anybody who comes in with the symptom, because seventy five ninety percent of them are due to stress. So we talk about saliva quorters all testing, and I'm going to start introducing heart rate variability. That's a that's a really a daily measurement that you can do heart rate variability. And if you think about fetal heart rate tracings, which I did for ob is that if there's a lot of variability and that fetal heart tracing, if anyone's had kids or seeing the monitors, the more that line wiggles, the better the baby is doing. The flatter that line is, the worse it's doing. You can do the same thing as an adult with heart rate variability. I actually have a website and the pace that I'm going to introduce where you can check your heart rate veriability at any time in any place to see if you're primarily sympathetic or parasmit I used to do it all the time in the office, and then with COVID and all this, and now I

16:05 was finally waiting to have an app or something where people could do it at home, and I've and that's something I'm teasing you, that's that's coming because we're we really got to focus on this, on this stress epidemic, and it's causing a lot of problems, and people are stressed financially and you know, wars and all these things are going on. We really have to help people measure and manage their stress. You cannot manage what you cannot measure. But if you can measure stress through saliva cortisol testing and through heart rate variability, now you can implement some changes where people will be able to better handle the stress and make better decisions. Because see, when you're when you are under stress, the frontal lobe gets turned off, so you really can't even make good decisions. So that's why it's so important before you make a long term health decision like a hysterectomy or some cancer treat you've got to get your stress level right so that your executive function can turn back on so you can make a logical, rational decision and not a decision based on fear.

17:12 And that's what we've got to get. I want to get patients to get over making decisions based on fear, and if you can do that, you're going to make much better long term decisions. I see so many patients in my office saying, I knew I shouldn't have done that. I didn't feel right when I made that decision, but I was afraid, I was anxious, and so I just did what the doctor told me. And that's what I'm saying. Getting in a caterpillar line thinking that someone's leading that really has your best interest in man. And I'm not saying doctors don't have your best interests. They're doing what they have been taught to do. And oncologists is thought to kill cancer and that's their job. They're not worried about the rest of your systems. You know, a cardiologist is worried about your heart. They're not worried about your adrenals and kidneys and all that. You have to look at yourself as a holistic system and understand what can be driving your issues. Right, So if people don't look at you holistic, you have to look at yourself holistically, all right, So right number five, you have the right to education before a prescription. Hormones affect brain, bone, heart, metabolism, and mood, So before you accept prescriptions or art palpitations, or some anti diabetic medication, some antidepressant. You know, we got heart here, twice, bone medication, something for your brain.

18:44 Hey wait a minute, okay, Instead of giving me a prescription for all of these, why don't we back back a little bit, because I heard that cortisol can affect all of that. Why don't we go upstream? Why don't we stop trying to have a medication for each sympom. I want to know why you're giving me that prescription, and could it be something other? Could it be my hartmones? Could it be stress? Because and you need to tell doctor, don't you know that stress is connected to everything and down? They know it, they just haven't heard it verbalized. So maybe you need to go in there and verbalize it. All right, So right number six, you have the right to root cause conversation. I'm going to show you at the end. I have a QR code where I developed this assessment where you can figure out what the root cause is. So if you have fatigue, it's not random.

19:37 It's trying to tell you that some root cause is happening. Okay, So we have a questionnaire. It's like, is it primary primarily a drenal issue? Could it be a gut issue? Okay, because if you have gud issues, you're not going to absorb enough nutrients to create energy. Is it. Primarily a nervous system regulation that I don't have enough sleep? Is that why I'm fatigued? So it can be several different things are it could be a combination. So I created this root cause assessment because a lot of people are they do one of two things. They're either scared to take the first step because they don't know what to do. Are they've overdone it, They've done too much.

20:19 They have ten twelve supplements, they don't know what they're taking, why they're taking it. And believe me, I see this all the time. They come in and often they have a bag full of supplements and I'm like, why are you taking this? Why are you taking that? They and nothing's happening. So they're coming to me because obviously those supplements aren't doing what they wanted them to do. So with the Root Calls Assessment, what we try and do is send you is tell you where most likely those symptoms are coming from upstream and how you can correct it. And most of the things we're almost all of them, are trying to address adrenal function, parmone function. And then we have something called amino restored to help with neurosystemrvous system reset so that you have enough amino answers I'm going to talk about that, so that you can make enough neurotransmitters for your brain to actually transmit a message from one neuron to the other. All right, so you need to know what the root causes. I like to say, hey, look, we have a weed. You can do one or two things.

21:20 You can go out there every week and chop down those weeds, or you can pull it up from the root and you can be done with it. And what happens is is that these medications are constantly trying to chop down one weed after another. Okay, first they got a metabolism problem. First they got a harmone problem. So now the esogen makes them store more fat than they should. So now they got have metabolic syndrome. And then because they don't have enough progesterone, their mood changes. And when their mood changes, now their relationship with their spouse changes. So now they have more stress and now their brain they're starting to react and they're turning the frontal lobe off. And now they don't have enough estrogen progesterone balance to keep the bones right. And then if you don't have enough for gesterone, you can have heart palpitation. Sometimes that's a presenting symptom. So again, a lot of these are upstream, and we keep trying to It's almost like whack a mold.

22:16 You know, you're trying to knock out the symptoms where you can just go take care of the root calls to be done with it, and everybody's happy. The doctor feels good because he's helped the patient. The patient feel good. It feels good because the doctor understood them and actually found the root cause and didn't keep them doing trial and error over and over again trying to find the right combination. Just find the root calls, handle that. Move on from there, all right, right, Number eight, You have the right to retesting and monitoring. Here's what I see often is that the patient gets the gets the initial test, Oh, you have no harmones, okay, because they're looking in the blood, the overary, the over When the over stops working, then the blood is not going to show much or any estrogen because the blood only picks up what is coming from the ovary. However, estrogen is made in the fat tissue, and fat tissue makes estrogen. So you have this loop when you have estrogen dominance, because progesterone goes down, you're going to make more fat. And so what I'm trying to say is is that a lot of times patients get an initial test, Hey, your hormones are low. Then they get dumped all these hormones on them, and because the blood test is not going to show an elevation because the hormones are in the tissue, then a lot of times they just disregard for the testing. They don't test anymore. I'll ask a patient, I'm like, did they show you how your hormones were now balanced in your blood?

23:47 Since you've been taking this for three years and you still tell you're telling me you still have hot flashes? No, he never tested me after that already, he just said my hormones were fine. Did you ever look at So all I'm saying is you have to if you give a hormone that and it's not coming from the ovary, are from the testicles and a man, you have to follow it in saliva. And you're not going to see that dose in the blood until you've overdosed the patient because the only way that hormone is gonna go back out into the blood where it doesn't want to be because it's watery, and it's all because aill in water don't mix. You have to saturate the tissue. So now you've got this patient overdosed on all of these hormones. Now her liver has to try and detoxify it. That's an added stress. So you don't want to do that, And I'll show you. I have an example, I think at the very end where a patient was given an estrogen patch and they told the web, you just don't absorb it. I don't want to. I don't want to spoil it. I got a whole story for that. Okay, all right, what you need to be retested. And if you don't want hormones and they're not retesting you and you can't see that, hey, now my hormones are balanced and you're not having any side effects, then you need to demand the proper tests. You need to demand it because I'm telling you the long term consequences of you being overdosed on hormones is more than just oh my hot flashes came back. That's why I'm telling you you're putting a stress on the system when you are overdosing yourself with hormone that your body has to detoxify itself.

25:20 It has to get rid of those hormones. It has to be metabolized. And so you don't want to overwork your liver. It has enough to do with trying to detoxify the food that we eat and the air that we breathe and the water that we drink, so we don't need to tax our liver more by overdosing the patient. Are you overdosing yourself on hormones because the proper monitoring wasn't done and the monitoring protects balance because things can change. If you lose weight, gain weight, you have a stressful experience, something happens, it can fluct so you need to retest. We retest twice a year or if their symptoms change, and then a lot of times if the symptom change and they've been stable for a while, you know what has happened. They've had some stressful event, They've had someone pass away, they've had something stressful. Okay, kids be worried about kids in college something And I'll ask, okay, you've been fined for two or three years. What happened? They'll usually tell me some type of stressful event. We'll try and calm the nervous system down. I don't really change the dosage because I know as soon as she recovers from the stress, that same pattern is going.

26:29 To come back. So anyway, you need to be retested, You need to be monitored, and you need to be monitored in the correct way, all right, So you have the right to know that normal does not mean optimal. You really have to understand that normal blood labs do not apply when it comes to sex hormones are female or male hormones, because they are all there. They're fat soluble and the blood is water soluble. It's just as simple as that. So you cannot whenever someone tells me, I went to the doctor and they told me my laps were normal one percent of that they did a blood test, okay, and it's never going to show you anything. When your pre menopausal is always going to say your hormones are within the normal range, when your postmenopausal is always going to say your hormones are low. But the only hormone that definitely decreases one and all women is progesterone once they go through menopause, because menopause means that you no longer augulate, and the only hormone that is dependent upon ougulation is progesterone. You have an extra fat facility in your fat tissue. It makes estrogen and estrogen I said, what I really said, You have an extra estrogen facility in your fat tissue. Your fat tissue makes estragen, and estrogen makes more fat tissue. And again, I think it's just that women are giving more fat so they can make estragen and though they're not reproductive anymore even through MENOPAUSESE.

28:03 So that is what's really going on. So you need to understand that those blood normal labs do not mean that you are normal. And you know that. You know you're not feeling normal, You're not feeling optimal. You are not balanced. Okay, you cannot balance hormones looking at blood tests, and you already know that because you've had your blood drum. I don't know how many times, spend a bunch of money, you still have the symptoms and the blood tests keep telling you that it's normal. So I know it's time for a break. We're going to go to write number ten and I'm going to show you how you can get this root cause assessment and how important it is, and I'll see you after the break.

29:57 All right, we're back and because we're back from break and I know people come and go, and I really want you guys to understand this Bill of Rights. We're going to go over it real quick and then we're going to hit number ten. So I again, I want to imprint this into your brain and that when you go into a doctor's office, not to challenge the doctor, not to argue with the doctor, but all you want to do is just go in armed with your own intelligence so that you can filter through what the doctor says. And again, you don't want to argue with the doctor, because this is what I've learned. See, I don't try and convert. I don't try and talk to doctors about this over coffee or whatever. I do it with people who come to me and say I want to learn. Okay.

30:45 So if the doctor doesn't want to learn, then you just need to filter it through and you need to go and find another doctor or get more education, or get more courage or whatever. Okay. So but if the doctor wants to learn, then you can say, hey, look I follow this guy. He has some courses that helps doctors. Because we think more doctors need to know this. So that's why I'm counting on you, counting on you guys to spread this message. And again I'm gonna have links at the YouTube everywhere where you can download this, where you can share it, where you know just the bill of rights, and if you want to share the podcast, I would love that also. So let's go through it. Right. Number one, you have the right to testing that measures hormone action. You have the right to go in and demand saliva testing, and they may not know what the heck you're talking about. And if that's the case, that's fine, but at least they've heard it, and if two, three, four or five more people come in there, they will learn about saliva testing. Okay, it's about you know, demand and supply, supply and demand. All right, we're going to go to another You have the right to understand balance, not just efficiency. That's the gym projuster have to be in balance, and you can't do that with one blood test. Okay.

31:57 Imbalance is not the same as low and just because as you see that the blood test says that the estrogen and progesterone is low in the blood, that has nothing to do with what the estrogen and progesterone balance is in your actual tissue. Right, you have the right to look at patterns and not just based on one isolated blood test, Because your cortisol fluctuation throughout the day, your hormones fluctuate throughout the month, and your hertmones fluctuate throughout different stages in your life. So one single blood draw does not say that your normal are balanced. So right, number four, you have the right to stress hormone the SESSMA before being labeled deficient. Most of the issues that you're dealing with, they start from stress. That's what's disrupting your ovulation and making and making so you can't make as much progesterone to balance out the estrogen every month in your cycle. And the same way with perimenopaus and menopause.

32:55 Most of the time, stress is the governing influencer, and if we don't identify that and correct it, you're going to be in this cycle of hormones and stress hormones and stress. Your hormones are going to get disrupted again because we didn't fix the stress. All right, you have the right to education before prescription. You want to know what that medication is. You want to know what it does, and you want to know, Hey, could some of those medications be avoided if we actually looked at this stress hormone assessment. And that's why we want to do this root cause assessment. So again you can go in armed with enough knowledge and enough courage, again not to argue, but just to be able to not go with popular thinking, to be able to think for yourself and not let someone else think it out for you. So number six, you have the right to a root cause conversation. Can we actually look at can we actually think about where could all this be coming from. You know a lot of times medicine or doctors put labels on people. You have PCOS, you have ADHD, you have chronic fatigue. No, I want to know why why do I have chronic fatigue?

34:10 Why do I have ADHD? Why do I have PCOS? And again, you know PCOS is just an estrage of ajuster on their balance. So we put these names in labels, and patients take these names in labels, and somehow they think that the patient is going to be satisfied just because you named what they have. No, they want you to correct the dysfunction. And so that's why you want to look at the root calls. And that's why I'm really focusing on stress because I don't think that enough healthcare providers understand stress physiology. What does stress do? What does it do to the brain? To KIDNT. If we understand stress physiology and we get that back in balance, man, all of the dominoes that fail because we didn't address stress, When we address it, all those dominoes stand back up again.

35:00 All of those symptoms come back in line. Again, So it's important that we understand, stress, that you understand and the doctors. Okay, right number seven. You have the right to know the difference between progesterone and progestine. All right, I must have skipped this, yes, okay. And then some people say, hey, I did. I was taking progesterone and it made me gain weight and it made me depressed. No, you were taking a progestin. You were taking a synthetic form of progesterone. Progesterone cannot be patented. That's why you can sell progesterone over the counter. You can't sell es going over the counter. Progesterone is totally safe. You can get it over the counter, but if you want to patent it and put it in a bur control piel, you have to change the structure of it. And so when you change the structure, you change the function. And so progestins they can keep you from getting pregnant, and they can help with your bleeding, but they're not going to calm your brain down. They're not going to burn fat for energy, so it doesn't do those things. So you want to know, am I taking progesterone, micronized progesterone or am I taking no orthendron acetate or madroxy progesterone acetate.

36:07 If it doesn't say micronized progesterone or progesterone, you are not taking progesterone and you're not going to get the positive benefits that I'm talking about because it's not the same not the same chemical. Yeah, and we talked about monitoring. I don't know how I missed this one. I'm glad I went back over it because this is important. People think that they're a matroxity. Are they taking depo bavaria or whatever, and they've had a bad experience, and I talk about progesterone and it's oh no, no, that didn't that's not what happened to me. Most of the time, they were taking a progestine, which is not progesterone. Okay, we talked about that. So this is it. You have to you have the right to understand long term consequences. Okay, So let's just take testosterone for energy. Cortisol is what gives you the normal energy flow. It's not testosterone. So why are women getting testosterone? Because they're getting their blood drawn in menopause or any time, and they'll see that the woman's testosterone is lower, very low normal. Well that's very normal. Blood testosterone in a woman is always low. Okay, so if you look at it, you go, oh my gosh, you're a lower and testosterone. Well, do you really think that women that the issue with women's that they don't have enough male harmone? Okay, that's it doesn't now will Does testosterone give you this initial little boost, yes, But long term what happens is, because it's not being measured in the blood, the testosterone builds up. Now you have too much. Now you have acting, your hair starts to at the ind Okay. So for that little boost and

37:39 the energy and whatever, that usually will fade away because you still got the stress issue. You just covered it up with testosterone and that'll work temporarily, all right. So long term that little boost is going to cause a problem. So let me tell you another example that I just talked with the patient yesterday. She had a total hysterect when when she was thirty two years old. At that point in time, they put an estrogen patch on her. In the operating room, they looked in their blood and say, wow, you don't absorb estrogen, so there's no need of us putting this estrogen patch on you. So let's give you your cream. Put the cream on, looked in the blood, they say, hey, we don't see any estrogen. You just don't absorb estrogen. And so for thirty two years she didn't take hormones because the doctor said, you don't absorb hormones.

38:21 You know what happened. Thirty two years later, she's got osterporosis. She's got hot flashes. She's calling me in a panic, like can you help me? Okay, So that's what happens long term, because someone looked in the wrong compartment trying to look for hormones that were in the tissue, and they were looking in the blood. Thirty two years later, the lady has osterporosis. She hasn't been on hormones for thirty two years because she was like, oh, it's usually I don't absorb it. Nobody's going to give me any hormones. I can't take estrogen orally all of these things. Now, it's the other thing that happened, And this is why you have knowledge and courage. She was on next or some type of H two blocker, and an H two blocker means that it blocks the acid in your stomach.

39:07 It's taken for heartburn. Okay, so she's been taking that for fifteen years, she said, maybe even more than fifteen years. Well, on the nextium box it says you shouldn't take it for more than six weeks. Let me tell you why. When you decrease stomach acid, especially as you get older, when you decrease stomach acid, you decrease your ability to digest, break down and digest proteins. Now, your stomach acid naturally goes down after age fifty, Okay, that's why it's harder to absorb things. It's harder to get your nutrients in because you don't have as much stomach acid. So you can get epigastric pain from that, okay, Because if you can't digest your food, it sits in your stomach and your intestines. They don't want undigested food to go down, so the pressure builds up and it goes up. And it's not because you have too much acid. That's what you feel in your esophagus or in your chest. But the real root cause is you don't have enough acid. Okay.

40:03 So whenever she was put on that, she was already didn't have enough acid because she was having epigastric pain, so then they put her on that. Now it's even lower, so now she can't absorb proteins. Well, you also need proteins to build bone, you need proteins to build hair, and you need proteins to build neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are epienepher, neuropenefforin dopamine. All of these neurotransmitters and the acetyl colon that helps you with your memory, with your mood, and with your being able to have recall and speech, all of that is based in neurotransmitters. It's caused by neurotransmitters. And all neurotransmitters are proteins, and you have to break down proteins in your diet so that you can absorb them to make the neurotransmitters. So it has been Nexium are H two blockers or acid blockers. Long term use has been associated with dementia. So it makes sense if I can't make neurotransmitters, my brain can't communicate, so I'm going to increase my risk of dementia. That should have been told the patient when they first put the patient on it fifteen years ago. Don't take this for more than six weeks, and really, what if we had to understood the physiology said, no, you need digestive inzyts. You need to take apple, site or vinegar with your meal, so you increase your acid so you can digest your food, and now the food will go down instead of up.

41:27 So that's what I'm saying. If you can understand basic physiology, and you won't, you won't be seduced by popular thinking. Because these H two blockers were very popular, and here's what happens. I always say, the last thing you want to do is to take a new drug, because a new drug means we just haven't figured out all of the side effects, all of the long term side effects. See nobody's doing a study thirty two years later to see what that decision that doctor made and that patient made thirty two years ago, how it's affecting this person thirty two years later. That doctor's long gone, that hospital might not even be here anymore, but you still are suffering from a decision that was made thirty two years ago.

42:10 That's why I'm saying, you cannot be fearful, you cannot be anxious, because then that turns off this front part of your brain. Okay. Then, so that's why I need you to not be fearful. I need you to just whatever you need to do to understand these rights. I need you to put it on your wall. Don't ever go into a doctor's office without reviewing these rights, okay, because these are important. It can it can cause you, it can prevent a lot of pain downstream. So what I want to show you is I think this if you do put that first one, if you scan that QR code, it is going to take you to a site that is the Harmone Clarity Bill of Rights. Okay, And I'm going to have links at the end of this video that you can download it as actually a I'm going to have a copy of this podcast on that as soon as I get the video. I also I did a single, little one minute video on all of these bill of rights, so you can download the PDF, you look at the video, you can do whatever.

43:17 Now. The second QR code is for that root cause assessment, and that is a series I think it's like twenty questions and it will tell you, hey, what is the major issue? Is it really stress? And if it is stressed, what is the other major issue that is causing. Is it hormone issues, is it gut issues? Is it brain issues? So it really helps you to determine what that root causes. And again I will have the I will have the links at the bottom of the of the video. If you go to YouTube or podcast or whatever. Can you see the links in the chat? Rebel? Can I see? Can I see what the links in the chat?

44:00 Yeah? I put some links in the chat in the comments. You see it, I'll send it. I'll send it to you so that you can We'll link it with the podcast. But do we have it? Do we have any questions? Why do people blindly trust doctors? They are because they are doctors. That's what I'm trying to figure out, Okay, And that's what I'm trying to And again I don't want you, like I said, she said, blindly trust doctors are good at what they are good at. Okay. If you have something that needs to be surgically removed, then you need to go to a surgeon, okay. But if you're looking for harmonents and you're trying to do it on a physiologic basis, you got to go to a functional medicine Okay.

44:41 So we have been taught to We have been taught to trust authority, We really have. We have been taught. And I'll tell you what happens is when you are fearful or anxious, you are looking for someone who seems confident, okay, and that makes you feel better. So you go in and they confidently say you need chemo, you need this, you need that. You're like, okay, okay, I'm scared, so I'm just going to do whatever the doctor says. But if you go in already armed with your own information, it helps you to not blindly trust somebody just because they're speaking confidently. Okay. That's what I see on Facebook groups. Somebody says something confidently and then everybody's, oh, oh she knows what they're doing. No, you need to be guided by what you know and what you feel is right for you. So yeah, I'm trying to give people enough knowledge and courage so that they don't just blindly trust the doctor because he's a doctor.

45:36 And I always tell you, I don't want you to blindly trust me. And that's why I keep doing these podcasts and try to reinforce this information because I know repetition helps, and I'm going to keep repeating this because I see that I've been trying to repeat it for twenty five years it still hasn't stuck. So I'm going to give it one good old college try again and just keep pushing this information out, all right, So, any any other questions. Yes, we're going to group a whole bunch of them together. Okay, why don't people question doctors? Is it a question doctor? Will doctors get upset and with us? Okay? That's yeah, Okay, So I will tell you this. If a doctor doesn't want to be questioned, you really need to see another doctor. I'll tell you that most of the things that I do in my practice is because a patient asked me a question and I didn't know the answer, and so I looked it up, and man, it took me down a whole work. I say, it's one patient changed my life by asking me one question about hey, do you know about progesterone? And I did a whole overjoint residency and I really didn't understand progesterone.

46:48 So if the doctor gets upset and dismisses you that, I don't appreciate that. I've had patients come in and say that I told the doctor I wanted to do this and he got He telled me he can't take care of me anymore. This is what I tell patients. If you feel like the doctor is not open to this, just keep your mouth shut, listen to what they have to say. If it doesn't bad by the bill of rights, just go find another doctor. You don't have to argue with him. You don't have to try and convert him and shove just down his throat. I don't do it. If I can't do it. And I can do seminars and all these things, I can't convert people who don't want to be converted. So you can just listen to that doc and say he may be open to it.

47:29 Let me just ask one of these questions and see if he's interested or does he lean forward, or does he have a scale on his face if he does, and just stop and listen to what they have to say. And you know you're going to run it through your bill of rights and you're gonna say, no, I'm not going to do that. It doesn't fit into my bill of rights. I'm gonna go find another doc. So that's that's my that's my advice to patience is don't try and convert the doctor. Just listen and see if he's aligned with you, and then if not, move on. All right, I think we just about get the time limit right, And. So those of you who we didn't get your questions, I'll give your questions to doctor. Stay tuned for more, yep. And you know you can send me comments through the podcast or whatever and I'll try and answer them there.

48:12 But yes, you'll send me the questions and I'll try and make sure I answer them either the next time or either I'll you know, I'll send you a message. All right. All right, it's time to go.
