fibroids aren't random fibroids don't just happen fibroids are not bad luck genetics are something your body randomly decides to grow fibroids are estrogen responsive tissue they grow in a hormonal environment where estrogen's growth signal is not being properly balanced that usually means progesterone is missing from the equation…
High performers don’t burn out because they’re weak — they burn out because biology keeps receipts. In this episode, Dr. Taylor reframes burnout as recovery debt, explaining how stress, cortisol rhythm, and recovery capacity quietly erode performance long before collapse. A physiology-first conversation for leaders and physicians who are still…
Hormones aren't about stories, they're about science. 🧬 Are you tired of playing guessing games with your health based on what worked for someone else? Your body is unique. Hormone "advice" from a friend or a forum isn't just misguided—it can be dangerous. More is NOT better, and symptoms alone…
"Let's clear this up: Saliva testing is NOT just for estrogen. 💥 It's a comprehensive look at your hormonal symphony. You need to know the balance—the ratio—between estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA. A single number in isolation is not enough. This is how we see the full picture of your…
Social media made hormones loud. But biology stays quiet. Stories don’t heal cells. Data does. Your body doesn’t care what worked for Susan in a Facebook group. It responds to your rhythm, your balance, your tissue response. Real healing starts when you stop guessing and start testing. Clarity trends. Evidence…
This episode examines the growing crisis of women turning to Facebook groups and social media to crowdsource hormone decisions they aren’t getting clarity on in medical settings. I’ll walk through real examples of fear-driven posts, explain why this is happening in the wake of the FDA black box warning removal…
Blood tests for hormones give you almost no clinically useful information. Here's why: Hormones in the blood are bound to proteins, making them inactive. Saliva testing, on the other hand, measures the free, active hormones your body is actually using. It allows us to track your cortisol rhythm at four…
Tired of guessing what's going on with your hormones? I can help. For 25 years, I've been using saliva tests to uncover the root cause of hormonal imbalances. I'll personally read your test and send you a video response explaining your results and a personalized plan to get you back…
Anemic, exhausted, and spending hundreds on iron infusions? You need to hear this story. ⤵️ I just saw a 38-year-old patient with a hemoglobin of 7 (normal is ~12). She was paying $300-$600 for every iron infusion, yet she was still completely drained. The cause wasn't a mysterious iron problem.…
There's a number every woman should know: 200 to 1. This isn't just a random figure; it's a critical safety marker. Your progesterone levels should be at least 200 times higher than your estrogen. When this ratio is off, you're in a state of "estrogen dominance"—a dangerous condition that can…
I was taught a lie in my medical residency. They told us that all post-menopausal women were estrogen deficient. And that is absolutely, unequivocally wrong. It’s a dangerous simplification that I am on a mission to correct. Here's the truth: After menopause, your ovaries stop making progesterone, but your fat…
You asked what kind of doctor I am. Let me introduce myself. I'm a board-certified OBGYN. I did my undergrad at Vanderbilt and graduated from Emory University. 🎓 But my credentials aren't the reason I'm here. My goal is simple: to educate women. I have information from inside my office…
A reflective, philosophy-driven episode recorded after a physically demanding international journey. This episode reframes aging, marriage, and vitality through lived experience rather than instruction, focusing on endurance, fear, shared challenge after 40 years of marriage, and the quiet regret of postponing life. Ageless Blueprint is broadcast live at Wednesdays 9AM…
A hormone imbalance isn't just about feeling "off"—it can be dangerous. When the delicate balance between progesterone and estrogen is disrupted, it can lead to unchecked tissue growth, potentially causing a mass. The safety standard I look for is a 200 to 1 ratio: your progesterone level should be at…
Let me ask you a question. Would you want your doctor to manage your blood pressure based on symptoms? Of course not. That would mean waiting until you had a stroke to adjust your medication. It's dangerously illogical. So why on earth is this the standard of care for women's…
The "trial and error" approach to hormone therapy is a slow, frustrating journey that I refuse to put my patients through. Why wait months to see if something might work? A saliva test cuts through the noise. It replaces guesswork with data. It replaces months of waiting with immediate, actionable…
Are you really on progesterone? Or have you been given a synthetic imposter? I had a patient who was told she was on progesterone, yet she came to me with all the classic symptoms of a deficiency. It took one simple saliva test to confirm what I suspected: her body…
Mood swings. Weight gain. Irregular cycles. It might be PCOS — or it might be perimenopause. They can look very similar on the outside, but they are not the same condition — and treating the wrong one can delay healing for years. PCOS often begins in the 20s–30s and is…
Because too many women are told they’re “fine” while struggling with anxiety, poor sleep, bloating, and weight gain — never being told that low progesterone could be the reason. I’ve seen it over and over in my practice. That’s why I formulated Harmony Pro — a bio-identical progesterone cream designed…
I saw a 59-year-old woman who spent $1,200 on hormone pellets — and they made her worse. Hair loss. Acne. Facial hair. She was given estrogen and testosterone pellets and told to take progesterone by mouth. After multiple prescription changes, her provider finally stopped everything — and kept her only…
If you’re taking estrogen but still can’t sleep, lose weight, or calm the mood swings — it’s not because HRT “doesn’t work.” It’s because estrogen alone isn’t balance. In perimenopause and menopause, progesterone usually drops first. Estrogen may still be present — especially from body fat and environmental xenoestrogens. Adding…
