0:58 Here's your host, doctor Eldrid Tables. Hello, Good morning, Happy Wednesday for April first, Oh, this is this is April Fool's Day. But I'm not fooling anybody today. But we are going to talk about a subject that is near and dear to my heart. We're going to continue to talk about harmone confusion because it's so rampant and it's such a topic. It's a topic that I understand that you have to repeat it over and over again, you know. My One of my problems is is that I will do a video, I'll I'll do a lecture or whatever, and somehow I believe everybody saw it. I can't, I can't repeat it. And now I'm understanding that when you're trying to get over a concept, you have to repeat it several times, you know. So I try to come up with something different every time.

1:50 But now I understand that sometimes the foundational things you have to repeat it over and over again. And the reason why I think is so important is because I'm starting to look around and look at well to do TikTok and Instagram and Facebook, trying to get this message out, and I see that the confusion is rampant. I mean, it's global. It's not a United States medical system problem. It's not because we have healthcare issues here. Even places that have universal healthcare, they're still confused about hermones. And I've been I've been dealing with harmones for twenty five years. It was confusing to me when I left my residency in OBGYN because I was taught just like physicians are being taught now. So I ended my heartmone confusion twenty five years ago, and it changed my life. If you see those pitches on the introduction of us going to Egypt and all these places, it's because it's because we're living life without this turmoil of our hormones being crazy.

2:50 And it's not because we're taking a bunch of hormones. It's just that we understand it and we can manage our lives around it and do the things that we're supposed to do. So anyway, without further ado, I want you to understand the cost of hormone confusion. And it's not just you, it's also physicians. I just got a message from a physician today and said, yeah, I've been looking at some of your videos, and I get it. Blood testing is not good. It doesn't tell us anything, but they just don't know what the next step is. And that's what I'm trying to do for physicians and trying to do for you guys, that you know what the next step is. If this is not working, what can work? And I think everybody knows that blood testing doesn't work. But anyway, let's start with let's start with the slides, all right, The real cost of hormone confusion is not just about symptoms. It's about everything your life could be. And that's what I'm talking about. You know, my wife and I we are in our sixties, but we are living life, trying to live life to the fullest.

3:49 And I see women who are twenty five and thirty who are dealing with hormones and don't know They don't know what to do, and it's on birth control pills, they're on antidepresses or all these things, and their life is suffering because of it. Because you don't want to put your life on hold because you don't understand what is going on in your body. And I think I can change these slash Yeah, So what are the problems you have? All this unexplained fatigue? Why can't I get myself out of bed? You know? Why am I so so volatile? You know? My kids ask me for something and it just irritates me, and they're not asking for anything demanding. Why do I wake up at three o'clock in the morning. What is going on with my career?

4:31 I probably am not going to get promoted because I can't do the work like I used to do. So you know what can I do? Why can't anybody give me any answers. Why am I asking people on Facebook to explain what is going on with me? Why am I so confused when I leave the doctor's office? Why do I try all these things and they don't work? So that's where all the confusion is. It's very expensive mentally, physically, financially, it's costing you. You in all types of waves. Now, see, most people and even the medical community, they're looking at your symptoms. Okay, so if they see anxiety and mood swings and brain fog, then it's going to be antidepressants or vivance or something like that, because they're only looking at the symptom, trying to get rid of the symptom.

5:23 But the underlying problem is never addressed. So what happens with medications. The longer you're on a medication that's covering up the symptom, the underlying problem is continually worsening because you have not fixed the real problem. This is just the end product. The actual problem is upstream, all right, sleep disruption, difficulty falling asleep, waking up at two or four o'clock. You're going to get ambient, You're going to get trazodome. All of these are just trying to cover up the symptom, and then you get the physical symptoms of unexplained weight gain and persistem fatigue. They'll do your blood count, they say, well, your blood can out looks okay. And then they say, well, we're not sure why you're tired, why are you're gaining weight? So they look at everything.

6:06 Everything looks normal. So then they begin accusing you of sneaking down at the opening up the refrigerator in the middle of the night, and you're not being honest about what you eat and how you're exercising. But those are looking at the symptoms. The weight gain and the persistent fatigue is all a part of this common pattern that we're going to talk about, right, and then we have so many people who feel like this, tired but wired. And I tell you this is an epidemic where people can't hardly get out of bed in the daytime. They push through the day, they finally start to feel somewhat normal around noon. They feel pretty good until about dinner time, and then when they should be winding down and going to sleep, all of a sudden, they're wired. Either they have difficulty going to sleep or they fall asleep and they wake up at two or three o'clock in the morning, and this is and so you get trasodom, you get some kind of vivance or adderall or something that gets you stimulated in the morning. Again, those are symptoms. The problem is really upstream. It's usually stress and cortisol. You have a disrupted cortisol rhythm, So that's what it is.

7:18 Until you fix that quartisol rhythm, you are not going to solve the problem by covering up the symptoms with some type of medication. Then there's a hidden costs that not many people talk about. The symptoms are only the surface. Beneath them. Hormone imbalance quietly affects the parts of life that matter most. So it's not really about the blood work. It's not about the symptoms. It's about how your relationships suffer. There's so many people when your hertmone shift, the relationship shifts, and because they don't understand it, because they're confused, they always are going to blame the person who is closest to them. That if they're irritable, it's the other person making them irritable. If it's lolabido, it's because maybe I don't love you anymore if his mood swings is why is this guy? Why is this person always triggering me?

8:13 Why are they doing this to me? And that creates distance from people you love, That makes it where you feel where women especially, and when they're irritable and they fuss at their kids when it's not necessary, then they end up being depressed and they feel bad about it. And then you get in arguments with your spouse and then afterwards you say, what were we fighting about? How do we go off on this tangent? And what happens is you begin to try and hurt the other person more and more. Because you're being hurt, you want to hurt back. So all of this is triggered because we haven't fixed her the initial problem. So performance declines. It declines at home, it declines in your decisions that you're making.

8:57 It declines in your ability to be able to perform at work so that you can advance in your career. If you're an entrepreneur, I'd like to deal with these high functioning people, these people who are really trying to make a difference in the world and make a difference in their relationships or whatever, and they're stuck because their hertmones are out of balance. They have the desire, and when you can't fulfill that desire or when it takes too much energy to do what you used to do, it becomes very frustrating. And now that's a stress to be on top of the stress that you already had, and then on top of the stress that you have because you can't perform in a way you think you should.

9:37 That's what happened to me is that as an ob at first I could get up in the middle of the night and two or three o'clock in the morning and go and deliver a baby. As I got older, it became more and more taxing on me. And then I used to go out and speak and travel all over the world, and then that became taxing to me, and it really burned me out. So I've lived this experience. I know what happens, all right. Your relationships suffer, your performance to class, and your joy diminishes because you don't have the energy to do anything outside of your obligations. So you just go to work, you push through work, You go home, you eat dinner, you clean up the kitchen, and you go right back and you do it all over again. So your joy, your ability to expand yourself to to have new opportunities and new adventures. You don't have the energy to do it. So your life is on hold all because you have not fixed the upstream problem.

10:32 All right, okay, and it's not the person. Okay, You're not the person. People always say, I just don't feel like myself again, and then we get their heartmon straightened and say, oh, I finally feel like myself again. And so it's not you. You are not the problem. Your physiology is the problem, and it's really not a problem. The physiology is reacting to the situation. And most of the time the situation is that the person is under stress, and that stress biology the changes that your physiology goes through when you are under stress. And again, it doesn't have to be a perceived stress. It can be any type of stress or emotional stressor a physical stressor a just a stressor that you think up in your mind, you being worried about what might happen in the future.

11:25 All of those that stress physiology is causing these changes. If you can fix that stress physiology, then all of these changes will reverse. So you are not failing, You are not weak. You are not imagining it. Your biology is sending you a clear signal and it deserves to be read correctly. So here's what you understand. I want you to stop thinking of symptoms as something that needs to be eliminated. Symptoms are a signal that something is wrong. You just need to know what that signal represents. So if you know being tired and wired as a signal that my quotas are rhythm might be out of balance, then you know I need to test my quota is off.

12:07 If you feel like that a week or two before your cycle, your whole personality changes. You need to understand that your minstrel cycle is out of rhythm. If you have gone through menopause and you know that that is a significant change, you need to see what that change represents or what those symptoms represent. So you need to do a test. So the symptoms are not the end all. The symptoms should lead you to the proper testing. So we take symptoms and then we guess what to do about it. Or that's what I used to do, So that's not the way to do it. Understand the physiology, and it's easy to understand. You can understand it. Physicians can understand it, but they've just been exposed to this alternative way of thinking and they have to think differently.

12:52 And that's what I'm trying to do with physicians also. All Right, See here's the problem, and this is what I was taught. See, you're fine, but you don't feel fan. See what the doctor says is that your blood work looks normal and everything is within normal range, and you are fine. And the doctor really believes that because that's what we've been taught, is that if your labs are in the normal range, then you are fine. No, that just means your labs are in the normal range, And especially with estrogen, progesteral, testosterone, and cortisol, they are looking at blood levels and blood levels don't mean anything. And I'm going to get to that. So that is the problem. If you look in the wrong place, you're going to find the wrong information, and then if you give out that wrong information, it becomes confusing. Or even if you don't give out the information but you don't give the proper information, that still becomes confusing. Because some people don't do the blood tests. They just say, I'm going to base it on your symptoms, and those symptoms can lead you down the wrong direction if you don't do the right tests, all right, so you leave the office with no answers. And this is what I see. I even see people take that lab work throw it to people on Facebook and hope that somebody on Facebook can explain it to them. And to me, that's crazy. How can you How can you go to the doctor, you do lab work and then you leave there and feel like there's no answer. Are you get a referral that you don't need. I see people who have just basic harmonal issues and they're sending them to an endocrinologist. And I'm just going to be honest with you, and indocrinologists is

14:24 not trained in gynecologic indoprenology. It's a whole separate book that we studied in ob Juyanne that the endocrinologists is not familiar with. I'll just tell you that. So going to an endocrinologist is really a referral that you don't need. If you have a diroid issue, if you have diabetes, or you have some other kind of petuitary issues, that's what indocrinologists are for. But basic female physiology, that's for in obi Juane, and it's really for an obi Juan who really understands hormone replacement therapy, all right, So are you get a prescription that masks the symptoms without address the cause? And that's what I've been talking about, And so you're being told you're normal. What you're actually experiencing is fatigue that rest doesn't fix, moods that feel out of your control, sleep that never fully restores you, a body that doesn't respond the way it used to. And the gap between normal labs and how you feel is real, and it is not your fault. It is a part of physiology. It is just a part of how life is and how as you age, your hormones change because you're in different stages of life. So you are fine.

15:32 It's just your physiology doing what it's supposed to do. When you understand it, then you can make the proper corrections. So this is something that I want you to definitely put in your head. Hormones are not confusing. We've made them confusing by not understanding it and doing the wrong test and thinking that's going to end our confusion. If you are confused and then you apply the wrong test or metric to it, it's probably going to enhance your confusion. And that's what I think is happening is that people are being told that blood tests are normal. Their hormones are normal based on a blood test, but it's not. And so they look at that test, they hear the doctors say they're normal, and they've got firebroids and all of those symptoms. Those symptoms are still there, and now they're taking four or five medications, and then they don't like the medications, so then they go and get two hundred dollars worth of supplements. They trial the supplements. You can't believe how many people come in my office with a bag of supplements and tell me about all of the medications that they've been on. And they're still coming into the office. Okay. I had a personal TikTok said that they've been dealing with this for twenty seven years and hasn't found an answer, and it has been confused that whole time. Harmones are not confusing, we have made them confusing. That's the real issue, and we're going to end harmone confusion. This is my big, bodacious goal. This is my part of the IMPS Possible. I want to change how everyone looks at hormones and how where everyone

17:08 can stop being confused. Just like you're not confused about how to take your blood pressure, you're not confused about how to take your temperature. You're not confused about any that you even know how to do a continuous glucose monitor. You put these monitors on your shoulders, so you have all of these ways to test things. And I can't believe that after fifty years, was still confused about hermones. That's ridiculous to me, and so I want you to help end the hormone confusion. The only reason why I'm doing this is because a patient came in and asked me a question. I want you to ask your doctor the same question. Do you know about saliva testing? Did you know that that's the most accurate way to measure hormones? All right, while this keeps happening, hormones aren't confusing. The way we test them are. Conventional medicine often uses testing methods that missed the pattern, context, and timing needed to understand what's really going on. Harmones are misunderstood. That's what I've been talking about. Most medical training focuses on extreme hormonal disorders, not subtle functional imbalances that affects millions of women.

18:10 Daily nuanced hormonal patterns fall through the cracks. That's what we're talking about. They're looking at major diseases when you look at normal labs, just talking about ninety five percent of the population. And the only way you can be called abnormal if you're on two and a half percent of the high side and two and a half percent on the low side. But just think about all of those people who were functioning at a high level and now they're functioning at a mid range level. Well, that feels devastating to them if they've been running on this high level for so long. So now you can see this pattern if you test it right. So standard lab panels measure a single snapshot of hormone levels in the blood at one moment in time with our contacts. This approach misses rhythms, ratios, and sailor responsiveness entirely. That's what I'm saying. You can't see rhythms, you don't see what the cell is doing. So it's it's really useless. And I want to get across is that don't even pay for blood testing labs. That if they're looking at your hormones and they're looking for esragen progesterone and testosterone and testosterone and cortisol is really a waste of your money.

19:14 So it's not even worth Some persons that they paid six hundred dollars for their blood labs and they walked out as confused as they were before. So I want you to have the right information so you can make the right decisions. So normal ranges are misleading. Normal lab ranges are built from population averages, not from what's optimal for you. Being within range doesn't mean you're thriving. That's why I'm talking about that bell shaped curve, is that you could have lived your whole life at that high normal range and now you're at normal or low normal, and that feels like a whole different person to you. You just can't even imagine how you could be this way. Well, it's because of long term stressors doing that. So anyway, that's how that goes. Okay, See, there is a fundam mental flaw in the system. Here's something most doctors won't tell you. But because it's not because they aren't trained to think this way. Okay, because most aren't trained to think this way. This is what is going on. So what blood tests measures standard blood panels capture the amount of hormones circulating your blood stream at a single point and time. So it's just I call it the FedEx truck.

20:23 It's just going around delivering things where it's supposed to deliver it. So counting the number of FedEx trucks does not tell you how many packages got delivered and brought into the house. And the house is the sale, So how many of those packages came into the house? And am I using? And do I have the right balance between estrogen packages and progesterone packages. That's what saliva test tells you is how many how much of the hormone is in the house that I can use it. It's I don't care how many FedEx trucks are rolling around. How much is it that? How much of this can I use? All right? So what they miss entirely is hormone action. How well your cells are actually receiving or responding to the hormone signals is invisible. Is invisible to standard blood tests. You can have normal levels and still have real measurable problems. You just have to measure them in the right way. So a blood test showing normal estro is like measuring how loud your phone speaker is but never checking whether it's actually connected to the call, because you don't you're checking the speaker, but you don't know what's what's speaking on the other end. Is it someone that you that is telling you the truth? Or is it giving you some type of false information?

21:39 Is it? Is it a phone scam? Okay? All right? So and you really don't have ten problems? Okay when when you say okay, fatigue, I got mood issues, poor sleep, I got way changes, I got I got all of these, I got chin hair, my hair is standing. I've got all of the these issues. I can't I can't think. I got brain fogged. Those ten problems are not ten problems. They're usually all calls by two problems. And that's what you have to know. Now, we wrote two books, Are Your Hormones Making You Sick? And The Stress Connection. Now we learned it by we learned it the hard way because we've The first book we wrote was Are your Hormones Making You Sick? And that was about saliva testing and estrogender magesterum balance and all of those things. But then after two or three years we saw that, hey, this doesn't correct everything. And then we started to understand stress, and we heard a lecture saying that seventy five to ninety percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related complaints of disorders. And so that's the case.

22:45 That means seventy five ninety five percent of the time, seventy five to ninety percent of the time, if you look for stress, you're going to find it. And how you look for stress is doing a salivary quartisol level. So we do that on one probably ninety five percent of ninety to ninety five percent of our patients. Because almost everybody is stressed. I don't care if you're twenty and you're stressed about, stressed out about college? Are you're stressed out about are you ever going to get married? Or are you stressed out because am I going to get pregnant? Am I dealing with fertility issues? Am I going to get the right job? Are my parents? Okay? All of these things? You have all of this stuff going on. So that's what you want to try to avoid is thinking that you've got to tackle all ten of these problems. So it really comes down to two patterns and that will explain almost everything. So one is cortisol rhythm disruption. Quarters all should follow a natural daily arc.

23:44 It should be hind in the morning and then it should taper off during the day. It should be low at night. But when this rhythm breaks, you feel wired when you should be winding down, and drained when you should be energized. So chronic stress, poor sleep, and overscheduling are common triggers. And I will tell you that I don't know when the last time that I did a quartisol rhythm tests that it was normal when the patient first came in. And there's ways to treat it where it can where we can fix it and become normal. But I'm telling you, if you have that pattern of tired and wired, if you wake up at two or three o'clock in the morning, you more than likely have a quartisol rhythm disruption. And remember I told you seventy five to ninety percent of all visits to primary care physicians or for stress related complaints of disorders, So I would think that it's a good bet that if you have these issues, or even if you're just showing up at anybody's at anyone's office, it's a good it's likely that this is a problem. And most docs that I know are not doing this. And you can't just do a morning blood drawl of cortisol. You have to do it in saliva, and that's the gold standard. Do it in saliva. You do it at four times in the day, so you can actually see that rhythm. It's a rhythm is at high in the morning and low at night, and you don't want to be the opposite of that.

25:08 And then the other one is that more than likely the issue is low progesterone, not low estrogen. And let me tell you why. Two things. Remember if seventy five to ninety percent of most visits to primary doctors are for stress related complaints of disorders, well that's seventy five to ninety percent if they're a woman and they're still in their reproductive age. Stress causes a decrease in ovulation. A decrease in ovulation means that you don't make progesterone. The only way you make progesterone to balance out estrogen is to ogulate, is to make an egg and cortisol and stress will disrupt ovulation. So that's why you can have irregular cycles. Because fourteen days after a after you ovulate, you should have a mistral cycle, or you should be pregnant.

25:56 If you don't ogulate, your body doesn't know what to do, so you have irregular cycles right now. So if you don't ovulate, you don't make progesterone, so you get all these symptoms because progesterone calms you down, So that's what makes you irritable. You don't have enough progesterone. That's what's causing your weight gain because you don't have enough progesterone because progesterone burns fat for energy where estrogen stores fat. So that's what's going on there now. So ovulation makes progesterone. So seventy five nine percent of people have stress. But now let's talk about menopause. In menopause, what happens is is that you permanently stop ogulating, and one hundred percent of menopausal women will stop ogulating, So that means one hundred percent of women will have a significant decrease or a totally elimination of progesterone almost, so one hundred percent of women have that now with estrogen, even though your menopause or your fat tissue makes estrogen, so in menopause, your progesterone goes away. There's no backup system for progesterone. Now, your estrogen none is coming from the ovary, so in the blood it looks like you have none, But in the saliva it looks at the estrogen. That could be that it is being made in the fact tissue. So now you have a baseline esrogen. You see the progesterone is low. So I will tell you that ninety percent of the patients that I see, they have low progesterone relative to their estrogen. If you fix these two problems, the cost of hormone confusion goes away because both of these can be corrected and corrected pretty easily. All right,

27:28 So all of those ten symptoms, if I can't get anything across to you, hormones are not confusing. The way we test for hormones makes them confusing. It's simple to do this. Quotas are rhythm. You give us a saliva sample. We'll talk about that after the break. And then if you are if you are one to guess what might be causing some of your menopausal symptoms or your perimenopausal symptoms, if you want to just guess, the odds on favorite is that you're lower in progesterone and you can get progesterone over the counter. I can tell you how you can get it. But if you just want to guess and you need some relief while you think this issue out, then put your money on progesterone. All right, it's not an esogen Problemly, I can't tell you how many people you see on Facebook and whatever. So I took this estrogen and I gained twenty pounds because estrogen stores fat and progesterone burns fat for energy. And I'll tell you on TikTok, I got people saying, hey, I started the progesterone, I lost fourteen pounds. That's because progesterone is doing what it's supposed to do, is to burn fat for energy.

28:33 All right, Hey, it's a break time. Let's go to break and we'll be right back.

29:34 We are back for more of ageless Blueprint once again. Let's join doctor Taylor for more insights and research on the ancient secret to better health and a better life in modern times. Here's your host, Doctor Eldred Taylor. All right, we're back and we're talking about the cost of harmone confusion a rebel. I want to play this. I want to play the song. Uh last week, last week I gave you I'll let you listen to a song. And I've been working on this and I've been talking about how I want to get this message across by any means necessary. And so we came up with a song called the harmone Clarity, the end of harmone Confusion.

30:18 It's kind of our our battle hymn of the Republic, our marching our marching song. So I want, I want you to listen. I want you to see this. I actually I had someone make a like a music video, and I'm going to make some other versions with people who are younger and older. This is kind of what we say, Harry Miller, Paul's p c O S type of woman. So can we can you play that rebel. Up? She showed us.

30:58 That internal sign here, ain't nothing new. One minute calls next time climbing the world. This horrimone row the coaster tics in it calls. Doc says, it's natural, this shift, this change. But feeling like a stranger feels so strange. Courts is horizon, progesterons though estrogen loud. Now the symptom shows. Hormone confusion. Now I see the bat and progesterone low. That's what really happened. I flash rise and sleep for gone.

31:38 Our finally know what's going and I like hormone confusion, no illusion and my body talking. This is the solution, not just staging, not just stressed. Now I understand, and. I feel my best friend forgot my keys again, lost my train of thought. This mental fuck a battle hard for They say, just relax, like it's easy to do when your own chemistry is working. On you. But listen up close. There's a true thing.

32:20 Miss Blood tests normal don't mean nothing's on this patterns madam. Are the number show your body's talking. Now you finally know. Way shifting slowly around your waist and energy. I'm moving at a different pace, smooth swings, hidden patience. Then, but this sain't the end. It's where you begin. They check your laugh so you're fine again, But they never looked at the pattern with this, Aliva tells with blood can't see you now you stepping into clarity. Sarah, done this sis design your body's rhythm. God out of line. Restore the balance, reset the flow. Now you're learn it. But you didn't know.

33:22 Nove more confusion. Now there is a solution. Understanding your body is a revolution. Balance restored already found. How you steady back hound novel more confusion, power reclaimed. You learn the system, you change the game the same agent. This is truth. Your body was always talking to you, all right?

34:09 What did you guys think? You can give me a comment or a thumbs up or thumbs down. So I just I just trying to get the message across, is that this is something that's identifiable. It's something that you can be explained. If something can be understood, it's something that can be corrected. It's not a lifelong sentence, it's not something. I had someone coming in. They were forty one, and they were talking about how they've been searching for this, and then I asked, I said, were you concerned that you were going to live the rest of your life like this? And they were like, yes. I had a person. You may have seen the interview I had with Quasi, and that was the deal with his wife. She's twenty six, twenty seven years old. She's like, am I going to be like this for the rest of my life? She was having issues after having a baby, and that's kind of what I see in this video is that these changes having a they change everything and they change your heartmones and you have to get that back in line after that stressor of being pregnant. So, Rebert, what did you think?

35:09 I like the video. I like the song too. It's really catchy and it's it really makes you think about what the song is saying. Yeah, yeah, And you see the roller coaster running around, you see her sweating. That's that's a real hot list that she she has. She's soaked all over, but women, I mean, I hope women relate to it. I mean, that's what that's what I see. And then you know at the end, if you go to my website and you look at the reviews, it talks about how you have to see what the women are saying. They get this saliva test, they understand what's going on, and then they can go on with their life. They know exactly what to do. You know, I've been in practice for twenty thirty years. I have patients that I've seen for twenty years. Okay, and so I even want to talk about the cost for physicians. The physicians are losing patients because they are they are propagating the confusion, and so they end up going to Facebook. They go to doctor after doctor. So if doctors understood it, they would be able to retain their patience, if that's what they're trying to do. So balance matters more than levels. A hormone doesn't have to be deficient by lab standards to be causing a real problem. What matters is how your hormones relate to each other. That's what I'm saying. How many hormone packages do you have in your house? And are they balancing out each other, the rhythm, the ratio, and the response. A small shift in balance can produce enormous changes in how you feel, function and thrive. And that's what we say. Your body is all about balance. You got to think just your pH of your body has

36:40 to be in this really narrow range in order for everything to work correctly. Your body is a fine tune, functional organ in balance matters more than anything. Your body is always trying to restore balance. Your sympathetic and pair of sympathetic nervous system. All they're trying to do is to maintain balance. Homeostasis and anything that you eat or if you don't sleep, whatever, it throws you out of balance and your body sees it as a stress. And so that's what we're trying to do, is to get you to understand how do we measure and restore balance. So the real cost of staying confused is harmone. Confusion isn't a passive state. That's why I did two videos and I might do another video on this, and I'm going to do a video on what is costing physicians and it's all of the they're losing revenue from patients who have left and all of these things and the opportunities they have to treat patients correctly and keep them in their practice long term and not have them going around searching and searching for answers. So there's a diagnostical lay.

37:47 Women are spending the average of several years seeking answers before a hormonal root cause is identified. And here's what happens because they don't know the root CAUs. I just heard a lady I was doing my TikTok live last night. She's having her second hysterect means, I'm sorry, her second myomectomy. So they removed fibroids once and now I think it's three or four years later and they're removing them again. Well, what was the root cause? She was properly progesterone deficient, So if she had known that after the first surgery, she would have taken steps to prevent the second surgery. But because we don't understand it and the doctor didn't explain that to her, now she's doing her second myomectomy. How many hysterectomies could you avoid? How many surgeries could you avoid? How many breast biopsies could you avoid? How many abnormal mammograms could you avoid if you balanced estrogen and progesterone and you realize that, So then you spent all types of money on those copays on those visits, or maybe you had to pay out a pocket, or then you ended up going to some you know, acupuncturists or some other alternative therapy, and so that cost you money, and that may have helped some, but it still didn't fix that up stream problem. So all of this causes delays, and the longer you delay it, the harder it is to correct the problem. Okay, the bigger the fibroid gets the worst, the answer gets whatever. So you don't want to delay it. So there's a real cost, So supplement specialist visits, therapists, treatments that address symptoms without the root cause.

39:21 And then missed opportunities. Hey I told you about you know, we started going to traveling and things. Well, if you're too tired to even think about planning a trip or to enjoy yourself on the trip, all of these life experiences that you've missed, all of the connections that you may have had. And then because of your irritability or your fatigue or your inability to get out of bed and to you know, have some kind of social connection. Then that's costing you joy and it's a real physiological problem. Loneliness affects your physiology. I could do a whole lecture lecture on that. So you want to be a part of a social group, so you get fatigue, brain fog, and emotional depletion. You can't find joy in anything, and people call it depression. Okay, but really it's hormone issues, it's cortisolt issues, it's neurotransmitter issues. We just lump it as depression. But they all have physiologic cost, and when you understand the physiology, then you can decrease the cost.

40:22 So we talked about long term health costs. Chronic inflammation cardiovascial disease is enhanced because when you have too much estrogen and storing fat. What that does. That increase in fat storage is causing insular resistance. Insular resistance causes chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation can lead to cardiovascual disease, and then you have worried about cognitive decline and bone density loss. All of this is due to the lack of clarity about how hormones work and how they affect you. So there's long term health costs. Just like I'm talking about the lady who's having two milemecnomies, whether moving the fibroids and leaving the uterus. That uterus is still under the influence of too much estrogen that's making things grow, so it can grow, indometrosis, firebroids, polyps, breast masses. So all of these cost you long term. So the shift and change instead.

41:17 Stop guessing, Stop cycling through elimination, diets and random supplements and symptom by symptom fixes. Stop accepting your labs are normal as a final answer. Stop working, stop wondering if it's stressed, age or just who you are. You can start understanding, learning how your hormonal system actually works. Starts asking better questions, start connecting your symptoms to the physiologic roots and taking targeted information action based on real understanding. So, yes, you can't understand this, Okay, you can understand it. So the cost of confusion is enormous. I hope I've gotten that across to you. The cost of clarity is minimal. Okay, it doesn't. Can I tell you clarity can be free?

42:02 All right? We have something called a root cause assessment that if you BM me or put in the comment root rot, I'll send you the root cause assessment. Excuse me. The root Cause assessment will ask you questions about your symptoms and it will tell you, okay, this is primarily a female harmone problem, and it will direct you to using progesterone cream. And we have a whole explanation there, why you use it, how you use it, everything is there. Then it can say, okay, no, this is mostly stress related and so there we have a package that has adrena care glange and a serene com and it helps to normalize that curve. Or it may say you have a primary inflammation problem and most inflammation starts with the gut, so we have a gut repair program. It will lead you right to it. And then some people it's a neurotransmitter imbalance. They just don't have enough of the building blocks to balance out their nervous system. So we have something called amino restore that and help with that so you can understand it without anything. You want to know the root cause, so we have something called the root Calls Assessment. You can actually find it in that. All of my links there are again, if you d M me or if you put in a comment and say root or just send me the Root cause assessment, or you can go in that all of my links and my stand store and it's stand s t A N Dot Store s T A S t O r E

43:33 dot Com Forward Slash the Hormone Doctor, and you can go there plus start here. You'll get the Root Calls Assessment, and you'll see all of the other things that we have available for you, a lot of free information and if you want a saliva test, you can purchase that there also. All right, so let's go to the next slide. I think, oh, all right, that is my last slade. All right, so that's what we want to So do we have any questions? So please, hey, go to my you can go to my school. But then I thought I had all my links in there. It's all my links and it's for a slash eb Taylor there is, so go to all my links, all of my social media links, TikTok, Instagram. I do a TikTok live every Saturday and Tuesday night at eight o'clock and it's so interesting hearing the questions. And that's why I know this is a global problem, because we get people from all over the world on those tiktoks, and it's really a problem that I am determined to at least make a dent in it, and so I'll keep talking about it.

44:36 I need you to keep talking about it. If you want to download that video, just say video or you can say root and video. I'll send you both of those. Both of those. I'll look at all of the comments and make sure we take care of those. Do we have any questions, rebel, Yes. One of the first questions we have is where is the salivites of. That's what I was just telling you. Okay, So if you go to all my links and there's something they're called the stand Store, and I think it says the Standstore, Well, look I can show it to you. I think we have time, share my screen. Let me see out here we go. Let me show you the store. That's the Harmone Clarity Anthem if you want to, if you want to look at that, so this is it, I'll show you.

45:28 It's the stand Store, the Hormone Doctor. Can you see this? Yeah? Okay, So there's the there's the address up there, stand Store, the Hormone Doctor, And this is where you would find this root cause assessment. It's totally free. Uh. You can click either one of these. Uh. This is progesterone cream. These are the saliva test. With the saliva test at checkout, you can break up that cost over the course of interest free over the course of four months, so you don't have to pay for it all at once. But look, that's the cost of harmone and I just need you to balance that with the cost of how much it has cost you while you're confused. This is how you can get into our school where we have a lot of information I post in there daily, so I'd love for you to do that. That's free. This is free. This is free. That's free. And then we have some dropdowns or some downloads that you can do, so please go and you can look around. These are all of the things that we have been using for over twenty years. So we know the supplements work and we know that the we know that the test really does what we're talking about. So let me get back to you and stop sharing my screen. All right, So great, all right, so we have another question. But yeah, that's how you can get anything that I'm talking about is right there in that standstore. It's the stand Dot store.

46:49 Dot com Fort Slash the Heart one doctor. So we have another question. We have like a minute and a half left. Okay, do you recommend the supplement for inflammation? Ah? For inflammation, I'll tell you probably the best thing. If you have inflammation, you probably have a gut issue. So we have a supplement called green Mad that has stuff like alo vera. It has asked for Jillius. It has glutamine which helps to prepare repair the gut, especially what we call leaky gut. So you want to repair leaky gut, So we have a supplement called green Man for that. That's in our tailor MD formulations that you hear the commercials for. That's where that's what's going on there, all right, all the stop, all right? So another question we got like what fifty seconds left?

47:37 We have about ish Yeah, how long does it take to perform the celebrity? Oh, you do it over the course of the day. You do it thirty minutes after you wake up, at lunchtime, at dinner time, and right before you go to bed. So we'll see this curve, all right, and we want to see if that curve is normal or not. So it takes what five minutes? Four times during your day and then you send it in and if you get the test, all the instructions are there, and if you go in that stand store and just click on it, you'll get I have like four or five videos on there, one with me explaining the test completely. It takes me like eight minutes. I tell you everything you could know you should know, and then I have some more videos in there explaining why you should use saliva testing instead of blood testing. So just go there. They're even just going to the store as an educational opportunity for you, even if you don't purchase anything. So just go there and understand. I'm all about getting you to understand what is going on and how you can figure it out and how you can correct it. All right, So I think we're done right, Rebel.

48:39 Real quick. The next question is would you start with inflammation or fixing the gut first? Oh, well, they're both one and the same. And this is what I will tell you. Take that root cause assessment and it'll help you decipher it. And so yeah, go there. It'll tell you, hey, it's information, this is what you need to do, or it's cortisol.
