Here's your host, doctor Eldrid Tables.
15
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.480
Hello, Good morning everybody. It's Wednesdays, and it's nine o'clock
16
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:10.040
am on eastern daylight time because we all sprang forward
17
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.519
last weekend. And I am doctor Taylor. I am the
18
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.239
Hartmone Doctor and the Spiritual MD. And this is the
19
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:22.000
Ageless Blueprint podcast and welcome everyone. You know, I've been
20
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:23.840
doing this for a little over a year now, and
21
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.319
you know I do this every Wednesday, and I hope
22
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.159
that people are listening, are you know, are viewing it,
23
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.719
And sometimes you just don't know. And so last night
24
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.799
I was doing my question and answer in my school
25
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.319
group and some people were saying, hey, I just listened
26
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.719
to your podcast. So, you know, the feedback really motivates
27
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.000
me to keep going because sometimes it's lonely here trying
28
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.439
to come up with these podcasts and trying to do
29
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:52.599
all these things. So I welcome your feedback. If you say, hey,
30
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.480
you know, keep it up, you know, or hey, you're
31
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.959
doing a bad job or great job, you need to
32
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:03.079
do this or that. I appreciate the feedback because that
33
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:07.319
gives me motivation to keep going. So h anyway, today,
34
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.400
you know, I'm always about talking about stress and how
35
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.879
stress almost influences everything. You know. We wrote the book
36
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:18.039
The Stress Connection because we came to that realization. Well,
37
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.479
you know, as you stay into something and you focus
38
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.080
on something long enough, you get new ideas and things
39
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.960
get revealed to you and all this. You know, So
40
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.280
a lot of times we talk about the current days
41
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.599
stress and that's a good point. This is a stressful
42
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.680
time here. We've got a war that's going on, We've
43
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.879
got financial upheaval, we have we have all kinds of
44
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:41.919
things going on here. So we think about the stress
45
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.960
right now. But I'll tell you when I went to Ghana,
46
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.439
and I'll talk about that, I felt like some of
47
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.919
the stress that happened in Ghana was in me. Okay.
48
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.919
Is that when I was over there, I could feel
49
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.719
the heaviness of what was going on there. So that
50
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.879
made me and my wife we decided like, look, I
51
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.960
wonder if there's any scientific evidence about the stress suffered
52
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.360
by previous generations, I mean in four or five, six, yer,
53
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.759
does that actually affect how we respond to stress or
54
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.439
how we are wired for stress even right now? Could
55
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.240
it be passed down from generations that stress and agony
56
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.280
or whatever should be pass down. So that's what we're
57
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.159
going to talk about. Is the stress that you're feeling
58
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.360
right now, is it connected to some generational stressors? And
59
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.479
then when I think about it with the medical history,
60
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:39.879
you know, we talk about your family history, you know,
61
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.360
but really what we may need to be talking about
62
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:47.719
is what is your generational history, Okay, whether it's influenced
63
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.560
by race or by where you were in the world
64
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.319
of you know, what part of the country or the
65
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.159
world you were in. Was it a safe place, was
66
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.280
it a not safe place? All of that and be
67
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.159
wired in. And so that's what we're going to look at.
68
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.759
Where is the stress coming from? Is it from today
69
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:11.360
or is it a is it compounded from generations on
70
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.120
down the lane. So that's what we're going to just
71
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.719
talk about today. Where is that stress? Is it my
72
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.800
stress or is it my great great grandfather's stress? Which
73
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.759
which one? Is it? All right, so let's see we
74
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.079
can go to the first slide. You know, man, rebel,
75
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.439
all right, the stress in your body might not even
76
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.399
be yours. What if some of the stress in your
77
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.319
body did not start with you? And that's what I
78
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.920
kind of that was the question that we asked ourselves
79
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:41.279
when we came back from that experience. And that's one
80
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.360
of those doors where that led out of the dungeons
81
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.519
and they got on ships and they went across the
82
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.160
Atlantic ocean. Let transatlantic slave trade started there. And let
83
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.279
me tell you, yes, this is not about slavery. Okay,
84
00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.920
I'm just I'm just telling you that's where I got
85
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.279
the idea. So don't don't get all uncomfortable because I'm
86
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:06.000
talking about something that can make some people uncomfortable. But
87
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:09.000
if we don't, if we don't understand our history, we're
88
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:12.360
bound to repeat it. So this is important, all right,
89
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:17.199
all right, So could the stress experience by previous generations
90
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.160
still influence our biology? And that's what I'm saying that
91
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.480
African Americans not the only people that have been through stress,
92
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.800
all races all everybody has had somewhere in their history
93
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.920
where they have had a stressful tank. So I'm just
94
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.199
talking about general stress. I'm going back in my generation.
95
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.240
But think about your generations, if you're Irish or Italian,
96
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:45.279
are Asian or whatever. Is that any stress that is generational?
97
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:50.120
And some people call it a generational curse. Well it's
98
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.839
not necessarily a curse because that makes it mystical. Really,
99
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.199
it is generational epigenetics, and that's what we're going to
100
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.759
talk about. Generational epigenetics. You have genes and then you
101
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.079
have epigenetics, things that are above the jeans that control
102
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.000
the genes. All right, So that's what happened. Standing in
103
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:11.759
gun We were in these dungeons where the slaves were,
104
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.120
and it was dark and it was only one little
105
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.680
opening where you could see what it was. Two openings,
106
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.199
one where they drop food down and then they would
107
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:24.079
take you to a place where you would go in
108
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.839
this thing called the Door of No Return. And we
109
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.399
stood there just like that, and I'm going to tell
110
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.160
you it was it was moving. I mean, it was
111
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.759
like it was a heaviness that you felt. My wife
112
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.879
and I both felt that. And then as we saw
113
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:44.920
some of the other places and how these people were naked.
114
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.360
They were there for months, sometimes waiting for the ships
115
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:53.279
to come, so they would excrement everything was on the floor.
116
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.439
Then they would throw food down there and you would eat.
117
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:56.920
You would know what you were eating because it was
118
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.480
so dark. So I mean that is that is stress, guys.
119
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.759
And then what you need to have to understand is
120
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:09.240
that out of over sixty million, sixty million slaves that
121
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:13.480
were taken there, that only about twelve million actually made
122
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:17.199
it across. So what I think is that we were
123
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.959
one of the most adaptable people ones who made it here.
124
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.600
So that's how I look at that as being positive.
125
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:29.160
That made the Africans who came here, they were able
126
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:33.560
to survive the transatlantic slave trade being in the bottom
127
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:37.519
of ships. So I am almost proud that I have
128
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:42.519
gotten here because that means that my past generations actually survived,
129
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.399
so but still there's also stress. Here we will talk
130
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:50.079
about some of the closer generational stressors that people can
131
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.879
go through. So't the stress of my ancestors that my
132
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.600
ancestors experience still influenced my biology. So because extreme chain,
133
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:04.959
extreme stress changes the body. When humans experience extreme stress,
134
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.120
their cortisol rises, and sometimes it can be a permanent rewiring.
135
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.600
Your blood pressure regulation ships because you're thinking that you've
136
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.360
got to get blood to your muscles so you can
137
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.920
run or fight. So, no matter what the stress is,
138
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.879
it's always thinking about survival. Inflammation increases because your body
139
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.120
is concerned that hey, maybe in a fight you're going
140
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.319
to get injured. So I have to up this acute
141
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.199
inflammation response, and I have to suppress the long term
142
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:36.360
inflammation response like that stimulates cancer and all or protects
143
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:40.519
you against cancer. And then also metabolism changes if you
144
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.320
were born and this is what we're going to talk about.
145
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.600
You see, if you were born in a area where
146
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.120
there was famine or there was war or whatever, your
147
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.559
metabolism changes. So you want to store energy, you want
148
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.360
to store fat because you don't know where your next
149
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.679
meal will come from. So we're going to see an
150
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.480
example of that. How whatever environmental or stress that your
151
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.840
parents were undergoing during that time, then that is going
152
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:12.279
to influence the child's biology and you need to recognize that.
153
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.279
So because something that's a problem, you can understand that
154
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:17.519
this has not come from me. It's not coming from
155
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:21.080
my present environment. It's coming from a past environment, and
156
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:25.159
I'm just reacting to it like what was happening in
157
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:27.919
that environment. So you see, if you were born like
158
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.639
I was in the nineteen sixties, and if I don't
159
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:34.960
recognize it, I was born with the pattern that was
160
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.879
was okay in the nineteen sixties, but now in twenty
161
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.360
twenty six, I can't keep running that pattern because things
162
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.360
have changed so much. So I can't be prepared for
163
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.600
the nineteen sixties and I had to be prepared for
164
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.919
twenty twenty six. All right, I hope that makes sense
165
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.120
right now. This is not just me, you know, babbling
166
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.879
about something that happened to me, and my answers is
167
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:03.600
not have seen this around the world. Researchers have documented
168
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:08.679
generational stress effects in the Dutch hunger winter famine. It
169
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:12.600
was about forty years the Dutch people were going through
170
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.639
famine and so they studied generations after that, and when
171
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.759
you go through a famine, metabolism changes again. You began
172
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.960
to store fat, So they were more likely to be obese,
173
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.519
they were more likely to have insular resistance, and they
174
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:31.600
were more likely to have cardiovastera disease. Primarily not because
175
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.919
the situation that they were in presently was causing those problems.
176
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.840
They didn't have those particular risk factors, but they still
177
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:44.600
had those generational changes that had stuck. And so even
178
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.440
though they may have been living in an area where
179
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:51.039
there was plenty of food, they still suffered from that
180
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.399
change that happened during that famine. So they also looked
181
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:59.080
at this in families of Holocaust survivors that their stress
182
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:03.840
response was different. Okay, they were more they were more
183
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.679
reactive to the stress. So it changes the way your
184
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.720
quarters are pattern reacts if you were born in a
185
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:15.840
time where there was difficulty. Now, children of mothers of
186
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.919
who were pregnant during ninety eleven, they have a quarters
187
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.639
all are stress imprint. That was a very scary time.
188
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.600
Probably the kids born during COVID they're going to have
189
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.799
residual side effects from that. So we need to be
190
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:34.200
able to understand that, Hey, look, the environment that you
191
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.120
are born in or that you are that you are
192
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.000
exposed to early in life, it puts an imprint on
193
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:44.399
you and you react in a way that would help
194
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.919
you to survive during that situation during that situation, but
195
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.679
it may not help you survive in the present situation.
196
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.879
So the key is understanding and being aware that that
197
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:58.440
is what's going on. All right, So this is how
198
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.000
this gets passed down. Now we know about genetics. Okay,
199
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:06.960
all my mother had this and then her mother had that,
200
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:10.919
and that's not necessarily the case. It's not about what
201
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:15.279
genes you inherited. It's about what genes get turned on
202
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.200
and what genes get turned off. Okay, So that's how
203
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:23.759
you can expand learn more all this because different genes
204
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:27.440
get turned on and get turned off, and they're basically
205
00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:31.159
turned on and turned off by your perception of what
206
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:36.720
is going on. Okay, if you perceive that the situation
207
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:41.279
you're in is dangerous, then survival genes are going to
208
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.559
be turned on. Those are the fight or flight genes.
209
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:50.279
So if your perception is danger stress, I need to
210
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.240
be alert, then that's what is going to happen. Those
211
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.879
genes will get turned on. Her survival genes get turned on.
212
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:02.720
If you are in a situation where things are comfortable,
213
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.519
you're relaxed, everything seems to be finn You see the
214
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.159
world as being safe, you don't see it as being dangerous.
215
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:14.679
Then the pair of sympathetic are the rest and digest
216
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.440
genes come on. Those are the ones that help you
217
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.200
to thrive, to help you to feel good, give you energy.
218
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:25.440
So how you perceive it, your mindset turns on and
219
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:28.639
turns off your genes, your lifestyle. So we're going to
220
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.080
talk about how you turn on and turn off these
221
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:37.320
genes and that epigenetics. It can be It can be
222
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.200
transferred generational too. It can be inherited also. So if
223
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.639
you've turned on that fight or flight gene, three generations back,
224
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:50.320
if you don't recognize it and mentally change your mindset
225
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.320
that hey, look, no things are safe now, I'm not
226
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.759
worried about that. I see that in patients who come
227
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:59.600
in when I ask them how long have they had anxiety,
228
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.080
and they'll say I've had it all my life. I
229
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.440
immediately know that they grew up in a dysfunctional home
230
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:10.440
and they don't know why they're anxious, and they're forty
231
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:14.320
years old, that parents have already passed, already passed away.
232
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:17.480
They're in a relationship, everything's fine, but they still feel
233
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:22.919
their anxiety. It is because their nervous system got wired
234
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:30.039
or anxiety for unpredictability, because usually those homes are unpredictable.
235
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.360
You don't know if you're safe or you don't know
236
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:36.120
if you're in danger. It changes, you know, moment by moment.
237
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.480
So they are wired like that. So you don't want
238
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.960
to pass down genes that are turned on. That's going
239
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.720
to cause a problem in generations to come. And what
