Here's your host, doctor Eldrick Taylor.
15
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:09.000
Hello. Hello, this is another great Wednesday morning, and this
16
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.400
is the time for our age list Blueprint podcast. I
17
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.120
am so happy that you have joined me, and I
18
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:21.519
want to thank anybody who has viewed my my podcast
19
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:23.840
and have shared it with their friends and family. I
20
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:30.439
appreciate it. I hear you know responses that people are watching.
21
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:32.719
You know sometimes you do these you don't know exactly
22
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.040
who's watching you, don't you know if you don't comment,
23
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.040
and I really encourage you to comment, and I will
24
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.359
personally respond. All right, But I am doctor Taylor. I
25
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.640
am the hormone doctor, and I am also the spiritual MD.
26
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.599
And the reason why I called myself those because hey,
27
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:50.959
we wrote two books. We wrote a book called All
28
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.680
Your Hormones, Making You Sick, and so that gave me
29
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.040
the moniker of the hormone doctor because in that we
30
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.799
talk about new ways of testing for hormones, really not
31
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.159
new ways ways it's been around since nineteen sixty. We
32
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.840
talk about saliva testing to really find out what your
33
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.599
hormones are doing. And then about three years later, we
34
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:15.240
wrote a book called The Stress Connection, because we began
35
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:21.840
to understand that stress really disrupts everything. It disrupts every
36
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.599
organ system in your body. And initially we found out
37
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.080
that it disrupted hermones. So even though we measured the
38
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:33.919
hermones correctly, we balanced them correctly, when we weren't including
39
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.280
cortisol and our evaluation, we were in somewhat of a
40
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.080
hit or miss. It would work, you know, seventy five
41
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.240
eighty percent of the time, but then twenty percent of
42
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.800
the time, it wouldn't. And then we began to understand stress.
43
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:52.240
And this was over twenty years ago, and now stress
44
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.199
is a popular subject. A lot of people are talking
45
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.680
about it. A lot of people understand that stress is
46
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.159
really our number one enemy, that stress response, that fight
47
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.439
or flight, that causes a lot of problems when we
48
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.800
don't balance it with something called the parasympathetic nervous system,
49
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.680
which is your rest and digest So twenty years ago
50
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.240
we wrote The Stress Connection, and I really didn't understand
51
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:22.319
a lot about stress stress disconnection. So today, last week
52
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.960
we talked about the first part of the stress connection,
53
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.280
how we measure, and I'm going to review that, but
54
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.120
then we really want to focus on stress disconnection, some
55
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.599
of the things that I have actually learned recently, because
56
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:39.039
now I'm interested in stress disconnection. So let's go to
57
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:41.759
the slides, we'll do a little review, and then we'll
58
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.919
go from there. Okay, all right, so the Stress Connection
59
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:48.599
twenty years later. All right, I told you twenty years
60
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.400
ago we wrote this book. And here's the great thing
61
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.080
about books. When you based on physiology on things that
62
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.319
don't change, things that have stood at the test of time,
63
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:04.599
and that is hormones and stress and just describing the
64
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:09.000
basic physiology how the body works. And that's what our
65
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.439
books are based on. And that's why twenty years later
66
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.759
this book is still relevant. Twenty years later our other book,
67
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.519
Are Your Hormones Making You Sick? It's still relevant. How
68
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.759
do I know it's relevant because I just recently started
69
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.199
on TikTok maybe three four months ago at the most.
70
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.079
And you wouldn't believe the response that I get when
71
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.480
I start talking about how hormones work, and most men
72
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.000
and women don't really understand it. And you know, I
73
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.680
understand that, Hey, you don't have to know how a
74
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.839
car works in order for you to drive the car.
75
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.560
But I'm I'm going to tell you really kind of
76
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.879
need to know what your how your hormones work if
77
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.680
you want to have a smooth ride in your life,
78
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.759
because when your hormones get out of balance, your life
79
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.519
it's very rough and rocky, just like a car that's
80
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.720
out of tune. So the hormonal system and the nervous
81
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:05.319
system is really the backbone of how you're going to
82
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.560
feel throughout your life. If you can get your hormones
83
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.519
right and you can get your nervous system to balance
84
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:15.399
between rest and digest and fight or flight. You'll be
85
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.240
so surprised how much smoother your life can be. And
86
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.160
I'll tell you I know that from personal experience, because
87
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.240
before I understood this and my wife started having hormone issues,
88
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:31.120
it was a rough and rocky road in our life,
89
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.759
all right. But thankfully, thirty years ago a patient came
90
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:37.639
in and asked me a few questions about did I
91
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:42.560
know about biodentical hormones? Did I know about progesterone? And
92
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.439
because they asked that question, it really changed the course
93
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.879
of my life. So, anyway, is the stress connection okay?
94
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.000
How we knew it was real and why we see
95
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:56.439
it more clearly now? So again, this information is ageless,
96
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.079
all right. I don't even have to really update the
97
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.240
books because it's based on basic physiology. And that's why
98
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.360
we call this the ageless blueprint because a lot of
99
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.959
things that would be a good blueprint for our life's
100
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:16.000
ageless people were writing about this six seven, eight thousand
101
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.839
years ago back in Egypt and India. They were having
102
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.199
they were creating all of these blueprints to help us
103
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.279
navigate this life. And we just need to follow some
104
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.600
of these ancient blue blueprints. And anything that tests that
105
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:37.160
that that survives in you know, five ten thousand years.
106
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.879
Those are things that you can you can count on.
107
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:44.120
All right, So anyway, let's let's keep going. So twenty
108
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.160
years ago we wrote this book. Now, at first we
109
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:52.040
began with just realizing that there was a problem, and
110
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.319
then we began to have more clinical observations. We began
111
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.519
to see that some of the statistics that we had
112
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.639
seen about stress, they really were playing out in our
113
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:03.800
clinical practice. And I'm going to talk about that in
114
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.959
just a second. But we just had to realize that
115
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:11.879
something was disrupting our balancing of women's hormones, and we
116
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.319
discovered it was stress. All right. So at first we
117
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.399
started out with the stress connection, and now we're in
118
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:22.600
this evolution of asless blueprint. How do we manage this stress?
119
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.319
How do we measure it? Because you cannot manage what
120
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.680
you cannot measure, So we want to be able to
121
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.079
measure stress, and we want to be able to measure
122
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.279
our stress disconnect. How stressed were we and now how
123
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.920
disconnected are we from that stress? And how are we
124
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:43.040
connected to more of a higher self? All right? All right,
125
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:45.519
So while we wrote the book, so I'm an obi Juayan.
126
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.959
I'm I'm originally trained us in obi juyan and that's
127
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.439
when I started looking at biodonical harmones because the patient
128
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.759
came and asked me. And then it just so happens
129
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.000
that my wife, doctor Ababel Taylor, she's a psychiatrist, and
130
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.920
so we both were seeing women in their forties, fifties,
131
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:06.600
and sixties. And what my wife realized after we discovered this,
132
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.000
she said, Hey, most of my psychiatric patients that I'm
133
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:14.000
diagnosing is bipolar. They're in their forties, fifties, and sixties.
134
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.120
And what is bipolar. Bipolar just means you have this
135
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.560
wild fluctuation of moods, all right, And that's what happens
136
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.839
in menopause. When your hormones are out of balance, it
137
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:24.839
throws your brain out of balance, so you get these
138
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:29.079
wide fluctuations in mood. And then also when your cort
139
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.600
is always either high or low, you can have a
140
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.759
lot of anxiety and depression. And along with not having
141
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.399
enough for gesterone, you can have anxiety and depression. So
142
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.879
she was seeing people in a psychiatric realm that were
143
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.639
they were having these issues, and she was looking at
144
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.440
it in a psychiatric point of view. I was looking
145
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.279
at it in a hormonal point of view, and then
146
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:57.840
we both realized, Hey, this hormone and stress it's creating
147
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.000
that's what's creating our patient base. So we kind of
148
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.879
put those two together and start talking about the stress connection.
149
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:08.960
So that's how we kind of co authored these books.
150
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.440
It's coming from two separate perspectives, but we both were
151
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.799
seeing the same thing. And here's the interesting thing. Stress
152
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.679
can cause your hormones to be out of balance, and
153
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.480
your hormones being out of balance can be a stress,
154
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.279
so they're really entangled. You know. It's one of the
155
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.279
which came first the chicken other egg type scenarios. All right,
156
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:32.399
so let's keep going because I want to make sure
157
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.159
I get to the end, which I didn't get to
158
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.919
last time. All right. So this is the statistic that
159
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:43.039
changed our perspective. This is a study that was done,
160
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.360
I think in two thousand and two. If you look
161
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.879
at this, it's two thousand and two, and this is
162
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.279
what this study showed. It said forty three percent of
163
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.559
all adults suffered stress related adverse health effects. And it
164
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:57.519
also said seventy five to ninety percent of all visits
165
00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:01.240
to primary care physicians are for stress related complaints of disorders.
166
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.200
So let's just stop right there. And this is my mindset.
167
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.919
When I saw that, I'm like, Okay, if stress is
168
00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.480
involved in seventy five to ninety percent of the patients
169
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.039
that walk in my door, if I become a stress expert,
170
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:19.159
I will be able to help more than three fourths
171
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:23.639
of my patients just by understanding stress. What an impact
172
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:26.919
I could make on my patient's lives if I could
173
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.080
understand that the root calls the reason why they're walking
174
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.000
in my door is from some is from some type
175
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:36.720
of stress related complaint of disorder. So that's when I said,
176
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.440
I'm going to be an expert in stress and I'm
177
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:42.080
going to change the world. Now, you know that may
178
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.240
have been a little bit ambitious, but you know now
179
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.840
it's almost possible by having these podcasts and I'm on
180
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:53.360
tea is that maybe I can make a difference, okay,
181
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.519
And they say, if you can just change one percent
182
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:58.840
of the population, it would have a domino effect, and
183
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.399
it would it would change a lot of things. So
184
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.639
if we could just learn how to get out of
185
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.639
that stress mode, we could cure or we could prevent
186
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.039
a lot of illnesses and a lot of visits to
187
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.320
doctor's office. So stress has been linked to all the
188
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.519
leading causes of death, cardiovascular disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, torhrosis,
189
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.799
and suicide. It's all due to stress. So an estimated
190
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:25.919
one million workers are absent each day with stress related complaints.
191
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:28.039
And this is in two thousand and two. Well, this
192
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:30.240
is twenty three years ago. Is when I saw this.
193
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.399
And stress is responsible for more than twenty five billion
194
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.080
work days lost annually because of absenteeism. And you could
195
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:40.879
probably increase all those numbers by twenty thirty percent. And
196
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.080
I think I actually have some of these. But so
197
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.960
when we encountered this research finding, it fundamentally shifted our
198
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.679
understanding of modern healthcare. The vast majority of patient suffering
199
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.000
had a common denominator. It was stress. And if we
200
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.720
become experts in stress, we can help more than seventy
201
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:00.960
five percent of our patients. And I think it's probably
202
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.919
ninety five percent now. So the single insight became the catalyst,
203
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.120
the stress connection and everything that followed. We committed to
204
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:12.039
understanding stress at the deepest level possible. And I'll tell you, hey,
205
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.799
I went to a show to Spenser Advanced Workshop for
206
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:19.200
one week. That's all we talked about is stress and meditation,
207
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:23.240
how to disconnect from stress, and we saw people be healed,
208
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:27.799
we saw people who their biology changed. In a seven
209
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:33.159
day advanced workshop, did thirty five hours of meditation over
210
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:36.480
the course of those seven days, and they did before
211
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:42.679
and after measurements of different health markers, and they saw
212
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:47.679
amazing improvement twenty thirty percent improvement in these health markers
213
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.639
just after one week. And it's been shown that if
214
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:53.559
you can disconnect from stress for a few minutes a
215
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.519
day for four days in a row, it will begin
216
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.000
to change your biology. So that's why stress is connected
217
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:05.039
to every leading cause of death, it's cause suicide. All
218
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.480
of these is our inability to disconnect from this stress connection.
219
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.759
All right, let's go to the next laugh. All right,
220
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:16.080
so I this is kind of where I'm most people
221
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.200
got stuck. So let's talk about the sympathetic and the
222
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.559
pair of sympathetic nervous system. So one is fight to
223
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.799
flight and the other one is rest and digest. And
224
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.039
so being an obi juy in and anybody who's had
225
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.919
a baby, they know that the baby is monitored through
226
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:32.960
a fetal hearts racing. So this is it, and I
227
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.919
looked at these at nauseum for over fifteen years when
228
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.840
I was doing routine ob juy in and this are
229
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.799
these are the contractions that the baby is having. And
230
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.240
so when the baby is under stress, and look at this,
231
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:49.000
this acceleration that means the heartbeat speeds up. The sympathetic
232
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.440
nervous system is in fight or flight because it is
233
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.000
identifying a stress. So what happens is is that the
234
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:59.960
heart rate increases because blood has to flow to their
235
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.919
extremities to get ready to fight or flight. All right,
236
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.720
or fight or flight? Okay, Now you want that to
237
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.720
only happen for a limited amount of time while the
238
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.879
stress is there, and then you want to recover. And
239
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:15.960
the recovery means that you get these irregular heart beats.
