Season 2

Why do so many women over 40 hear "Your labs are normal" yet still struggle with brain fog, fatigue, poor sleep, weight gain, and loss of confidence? Dr. Eldred Taylor welcomes Menopause Strategist Jackie Roberts to discuss why hormone confusion often begins with the wrong questions and the wrong testing. Learn how cortisol, progesterone, estrogen, stress physiology, and hormone testing may provide a clearer picture of what's happening during midlife.

Here's your host, doctor Eldred Tables.

15
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:03.520
Hello.

16
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.319
Hello is Wednesday morning, and that means it's time for

17
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:10.040
the Age was Blueprint. And I'm excited about this episode

18
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:15.040
because I'm bringing back a returning guest, this Jackie Roberts,

19
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:16.200
and I just.

20
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.120
Want to I'm gonna give you a brief introduction. I'm

21
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.239
going to tell you why I wanted her to come back.

22
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:23.799
So ms Roberts and now she's a menopause strategist who

23
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.439
texts the executive performance of high achieving women through menopause.

24
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.439
Now she has ASCP certification, which means that she is

25
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.719
a laboratory expert, and that's what we want to talk about,

26
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.680
is testing. And she also brings thirty years of being

27
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.959
in the pharmaceutical industry and now she is helping women

28
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.439
through this midlife change that seems to hit a lot

29
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.760
of women, especially when they're high performing women. And so

30
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.359
that's what we're going to talk about today. So if

31
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.680
you are woman between age forty and sixty sixty five

32
00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:59.920
and you feel like you're not quite where you used

33
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:03.280
to be, but you still want to be as productive

34
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.480
or as productive as possible, then this is the episode

35
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:07.200
that you want to see.

36
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.560
And so now we're going to bring in this Jackie Roberts.

37
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:11.520
Good morning, Good morning.

38
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.960
How are you to daylor all right, all right, good morning.

39
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.800
And we talked a little bit before. But I'm excited

40
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.080
about this because I think it was like two or

41
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.159
three weeks two or three weeks ago you were on

42
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:26.960
and we talked and then we talked afterwards, and you

43
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.879
were interested in what I was introducing, So I kind

44
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.719
of want to know, you know, what has happened between

45
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.319
the last one and the last so then this one,

46
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.120
and kind of how your perspective might have changed.

47
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.879
And I really want to hear your expertise.

48
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.080
Because you have a lab background, and I think the

49
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.120
lab testing one of the important parts in this thing,

50
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.120
in this whole evolution that I'm trying to, you know,

51
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:52.240
get women to go through.

52
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.960
So that's really why what we want to talk about.

53
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.840
And then anyone who's listening for the last twenty minutes,

54
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.360
I'm just going to have questions answer because I know

55
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.080
there's a lot of questions out there and I want

56
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:05.680
to make sure that we answer those questions.

57
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.080
So I'm going to stop talking to miss Roberts. The

58
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:09.360
floor is yours.

59
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:11.680
Thank you. Well, I can tell you I've been so

60
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.879
excited to talk to doctor Taylor in the past you

61
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.960
because perspective is everything when it comes to thinking forward

62
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.639
when we should provide women what they're looking for. I

63
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.159
just saw a blurb yesterday on the news where someone

64
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.919
who was very affluent said, well, I couldn't get the

65
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.759
help needed to figure out what was going on with

66
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.240
my midlife crisis. That means it happens to all women,

67
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.520
and so there's so many women seeking a root cause

68
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.120
as to why they feel the way they do between

69
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.479
forty and sixty five, and it could be outside of

70
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.159
that because create menopause can last up to ten to

71
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.360
twelve years. And I understand that getting to the root

72
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.680
cause comes with making sure not only that we're looking

73
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.039
at the patient's symptoms or a woman's symptoms, but also

74
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:02.520
understanding which laboratory panels order and what type of panel

75
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:04.759
to order. A lot of women go to their yearly

76
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.759
visit and they hear, you know, my labs are normal,

77
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.919
and then what happens? They go they leave after that

78
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.479
fifteen minutes of talking to their physician to then say, well,

79
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.120
how can I feel like crap and I have these

80
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.639
normal labs. Well, it all has to do with having

81
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.439
the correct labs during this timeframe and looking for the

82
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.360
right parameters. So if you've got the brain fog, if

83
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.560
you've got the hot flashes, those are the things you

84
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.000
hear of a lot. But there are, gosh, forty fifty

85
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:36.879
five sometimes symptoms that women are dealing with that could

86
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.759
be related to periodmenopause and menopause. So I say, what

87
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.600
I've done in the past few weeks is just restructure

88
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.040
the way I make sure that I'm helping women where

89
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:47.839
I want to get to the root cause, first by

90
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.639
doing some saliva testing on them, which is possible of

91
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.759
course with my certification, and then sitting with them to

92
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.120
have a strategy on what to do next, because what's

93
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.680
most important is to listen to the woman, understand what

94
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:05.079
the symptomatology is and the laboratory piece that which would

95
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.439
be the correct labs meaning the hormones through saliva testing,

96
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.439
and then give us the clues as to how do

97
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.839
we treat that patient next, or how do we refer

98
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.759
that patient to the healthcare provider so they have was

99
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:21.480
truly needed to get the help needed to understand that

100
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.240
their body can get better. A lot of our physicians

101
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.560
don't even know what to look for when it comes

102
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.920
to menopause for women. I'm here to make sure that

103
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.199
that changes so that women can advocate for themselves to

104
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.199
say this is what you should be looking for. Look

105
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:36.639
for it.

106
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:38.560
So let me ask you this.

107
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:43.000
In your certification for laboratory site, did they ever say

108
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:44.519
anything about as.

109
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.079
Being that soluble hertmone?

110
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.759
No, No, I can tell you they didn't not in

111
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.279
the time period when I was going through, and it

112
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:53.879
was all about doing blood testing because you have to realize,

113
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:58.199
when we're looking at normal everyday labs, we're looking for

114
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:03.680
the absence of disease, not necessarily if that patient cognitively

115
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.399
or physiologically is performing the way they feel they should.

116
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:11.720
So a normal lab could be taken when it comes

117
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.600
in context from people in any age group, all right,

118
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.160
and so then they're putting that forty to sixty five

119
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.920
year old woman in that age group and it may

120
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.920
not match. So saliva testing was not something that we

121
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.480
looked at quite frequently at the time that I was

122
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.560
going through. Of course, I continue to educate myself and

123
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.560
I understand not we have saliva testing, we have urine

124
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.399
testing testing where we can look at hormones as well.

125
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.639
Now, yeah, and again it's all about I keep saying, hey, look,

126
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:42.639
there's nothing wrong with blood testing.

127
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:45.160
It will answer the question.

128
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.480
It will tell you the whole amount of hormone that

129
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.839
you have.

130
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:49.839
No doubt about it.

131
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.920
However, most of that ninety eight percent of that hormone

132
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.519
is bound, and because it's bound, your tissue can't use

133
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.600
it because as long as you're in your car on

134
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.680
the highway which you're circulating around, you can't do much,

135
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.360
So you have to get out of the car and

136
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.000
go to the place where you work. Well, hermones work

137
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.720
in the tissue. That's where they work, that's where they're stored.

138
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.399
So if you want to know what's working and what

139
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.000
the balance is, you got to go to where they work.

140
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.759
All right, now, once it's over with, and you want

141
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.040
to see are your hormones getting metabolized in a safe way,

142
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.920
because you can have metabolism that's detrimental and you can

143
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.560
have metabolism that is beneficial.

144
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.759
And if you want to know that, you go to

145
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:35.360
the urine.

146
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.439
And so I have a problem when I talked about

147
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.639
SALIVI attest it doesn't match blood, it doesn't match urine. No,

148
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.000
because they're different departments, they're different compartments. So that's how

149
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.000
you have to look at it. But you know, Mss Roberts,

150
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.399
I've been trying to do this for twenty years, twenty

151
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.519
five years, and what I've decided is that the only

152
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.720
way I'm gonna get this across is to have people

153
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.480
like you spreading that message because if I go out

154
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:02.519
and talk about it, I'm going to get attacked by

155
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:05.800
all of the forces, but woman to woman, they can't

156
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:06.279
attack you.

157
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:06.920
Okay.

158
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.800
So so just like I presented the information to you,

159
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.720
I want you to present the information. I want other

160
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:17.040
people to present the information because once you see it

161
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:18.040
is very convincing.

162
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.360
I am my own Yes, you're absolutely right. And what

163
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.680
when I started effectually strong wellness, that was exactly what

164
00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.079
I was looking to make sure I did that. I

165
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.079
provided an avenue for women so that they would have

166
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:34.200
someone they could speak to figure it out. So I

167
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.279
remember someone someone asked me one day, they said, well,

168
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.159
what are you going to call yourself your coach? Or

169
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:42.159
this is truly figuring out the strategy for where do

170
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.600
I go next? And that comes with a lot of

171
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.120
having the time to speak to a woman. Healthcare providers

172
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.600
don't always have that amount of time, and that's what's missing.

173
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.799
I'm so glad that you've gone into area functional medicine,

174
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.159
doctor Taylor, where you can spend the time to seek

175
00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:01.200
to understand and actually put the clues to get for women.

176
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.200
But for most of our healthcare providers, they have truly

177
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.720
fifteen to twenty minutes sm max to talk to a patient.

178
00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.399
That's not enough. In the course of a year's time

179
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:13.879
to figure out a puzzle that's been going on for years.

180
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.559
So and you know, to change beliefs and paradigm shifts

181
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.759
and all the four years we've looked in the blood

182
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:23.080
for everything.

183
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.360
You know, I'm going to get my annual blood last.

184
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.639
I'm wanted to get my hand and you know, it's

185
00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:33.120
just we are so fixated that everything can be answered

186
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:36.240
in the blood. But you know, in postal medicine, we

187
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.279
do GID testing, we do food tests, we need to

188
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:42.960
do food sysctivity. We look for moles and parasites and

189
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.879
all those kind of things, and those are things that

190
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:49.519
we were never taught to look for. We would talk

191
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:53.279
to look for the end result the disease. Is it

192
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.679
food causing it? That your gut causing you? So you

193
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.639
know that's that's the problem. And I think that's the

194
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:02.679
problem you have encountered, and I think that's why some

195
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:03.799
people are frustrated.

196
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.039
So what are your thoughts about that?

197
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:10.480
Yes, typically a woman's experience is that she sees several

198
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:15.320
different specialists before someone starts putting together the puzzle. And

199
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.080
we have some amazing specialists out there. I think my

200
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.440
first specialist was a cardio cardio, a cardiovascular doctor, because

201
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.720
I was having heart racing, and so I went to

202
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.000
the doctor and he did an echo cardio echo cardio Grandmammy.

203
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.639
He said, you know, I think your heart is fine,

204
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.200
but something might be going on with your thyroid. After

205
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.799
he got back my blood test. So then that sent

206
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.840
me to my second doctor, who was of course of endocrinologists,

207
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.600
who said, yeah, there's something going on with your thyroy,

208
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:49.240
but there was a root cause to that happening. I

209
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.799
was going into perimenopause. I didn't know that.

210
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:53.799
So by the.

211
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.759
Time I actually figured out what was going on, I

212
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.720
think I had seen probably six specialists by then, if

213
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.399
you could include six or seven, if you include my

214
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:05.840
normal everyday health care providers, like someone you typically see

215
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.440
your internal medicine, you see your obgyn, I'd seen quite

216
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:12.879
a few. And when you think of functional medicine, it's

217
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.600
truly about being able to function in the way that

218
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.919
you should every single day, versus just constantly looking for

219
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.480
the absence of disease. So my experience did lead me

220
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.159
to a functional medicine physician assistant, and I've been with

221
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.480
her a number of years and she has figured out

222
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.639
my puzzle for me. But I can tell you is

223
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.919
when I first was looking for someone and I found

224
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.759
out about her, the first thing someone said, oh, you

225
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.480
don't want to go to that quack line because she

226
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:47.039
was thinking outside of the box. She practiced medicine outside

227
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.039
of the everyday box of what our health care providers

228
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:55.440
learn from. But she was getting results. And because of that,

229
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:57.200
I said, well, okay, let me trust her for a

230
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:59.799
little bit to see if she can get me some results.

231
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.679
I've been getting those same getting the same results now

232
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:06.720
for ten twelve years from her. So that experience is

233
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:10.120
something that typically a woman is faced with each time

234
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.879
she goes for another symptom that comes up. Let's say

235
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.279
her shoulder all of a sudden locks up. Where's it

236
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:19.720
going to send her orthopedic surgeon? Okay? After being referred,

237
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.360
So you end up with all these healthcare providers, but

238
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:25.480
no one's looking at the root cause, because no one's

239
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:29.159
testing for the root cause. They're not thinking that that

240
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:34.480
could be a positive relationship of your shoulder herting or

241
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.639
freezing up on you are the ringing in your ear,

242
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.279
let alone the hot flashes and not being able to

243
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:40.960
sleep at night.

244
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.879
Yeah, so you know from from what you've learned or

245
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.039
what I've may have exposed to you.

246
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.200
What would you say, the root cause of most problems

247
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.720
are most physical problems that people are going through at

248
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.279
that stage, What would you say the what do you

249
00:12:58.360 --> 00:12:59.600
think the root causes.

250
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.399
On who's going through that time period? Think of menopause. Okay,

251
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:06.200
menopause is when your missus stops, But that's not just

252
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:10.320
what's going on. Your hormones are changing, So the root

253
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:14.120
cause is that your hormones are shifting. Plus, we have

254
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:17.799
women in higher stress jobs than they've ever been in before.

255
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.360
So if you were to look at my website Faithfully

256
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.000
Strong Willness, she would see that I'm making sure that

257
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:26.840
executive women understand that I understand what they're going through.

258
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.039
So this large amount of stress is compounded by the

259
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.360
fact that your cortisol is changing as well, along with

260
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:37.039
your estrogen and your progesterone. And when those things are

261
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.759
going up and down, and you've got this compounding relationship

262
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:42.159
of stress for me and gosh, I'm a high performer

263
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.399
at work. Oh forget about the fact I have two

264
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:46.480
young men that I'm raising in my house. Oh I

265
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.080
happen to be African American too. Oh yeah, I've got

266
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.360
a husband, I like to make sure that I'm with him.

267
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.120
I'm working on my marriage less stress level of life

268
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.399
continues to go up while your hormones are changing, which

269
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:02.039
creates more stress on your body physiologically.

270
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:07.679
All right, you're starting to talk like me, miss Robertson's

271
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.960
that's yeah, it was. It was a little pop quiz.

272
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.759
I wanted to see if if you were going to

273
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:17.120
say that stress is probably the cause, because you know,

274
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:19.000
I'll tell you. I'll tell you two or three things

275
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.279
that you won your shoulder hurting well, portosolls the natural

276
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.200
anti inflammatory. If you don't have it, get inflammation. And

277
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:29.120
let me talk about how many women have you seen

278
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:34.519
that perimental pausally, all of a sudden, they eat thyroid medication.

279
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.600
Quite a few, quite a few, and they don't even

280
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.799
understand why that's happening. Like myself, I didn't know why

281
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:44.919
was it that this person who worked out all the

282
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:50.000
time ate correctly still had thyroid issues. And I never

283
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.200
put that together either. So women typically may come with

284
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:57.559
that being. One of the first symptoms that's happening is

285
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:01.039
that they may have a heart breace from the viroid changing.

286
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.159
Because remember our drenals in our glands. They are all

287
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:08.840
affected by this hormone change at the same time, so

288
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:11.600
you can't have one go up and down and another

289
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:14.919
one not be affected. That's why there's a couple of

290
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:19.240
panels that typically women should go through first. That will

291
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:23.000
include thory testing as well to see what's going on

292
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:27.240
with thyroy stimulating hormone. And I can look at women

293
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:31.679
and see this by their symptomatology that there's something going

294
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:33.679
on with their thyroid. To have a close member of

295
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:36.679
my family, I said, there's something going on which your

296
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:40.600
thyroy just by looking at the symptomatology there. But it's

297
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:43.919
so slight that sometimes women don't pick up on that

298
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:47.120
piece and so they don't even know to bring that

299
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:49.399
up with their healthcare provider because they may think, oh,

300
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:51.919
this isn't nothing, it'll go away. But what it does,

301
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:53.960
it compounds and it gets worse over time.

302
00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:00.480
So let me let me propose the idea. Okay, so

303
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.159
let me tell you what estrogen does.

304
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.879
Estrogen increases something called thyroid binding glibrary.

305
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:09.759
So it's mass thyroid all right. So now imperimental pause.

306
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:14.120
Remember estrogen does not necessarily go down. Gesterone goes down

307
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:16.639
because you stop ovulating. So then you have a lot

308
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:20.799
of estrogen that is increasing thorough binding glibrunar and I

309
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:22.879
don't want to get into these two your terms, but anyway,

310
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:24.159
it slows down your thyrol.

311
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.720
Okay, So esrogen slows down your thyrol, so it's not

312
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:29.320
really a primary thyroid problem.

313
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:31.840
It's really an estragen, progesterone and balance problem.

314
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:36.559
And then you have cortisol, and cortisol blocks the conversion

315
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.720
two three HE three is the active PARTAMA. So stress

316
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:44.559
and estrogen will slow down your thyroil. So again, we

317
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.120
fix the cortisol, you fix the estrogen progesterone balance.

318
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:50.559
Now all of a sudden you don't need thyroid medication

319
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.279
for So that's when we really.

320
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.360
Try and get all the way down to the root.

321
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.759
Then you can see how those fifty symptoms can blossom.

322
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:02.360
From two of the three or four root causes.

323
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:05.359
Okay, now I know we have some questions here and

324
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.240
I just want to show well, Okay, good question is

325
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:10.039
going to be addressed after the break, So put your

326
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:12.880
questions in here and we'll we'll answer those.

327
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:15.400
And so that's what I'm talking about.

328
00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:19.279
Ruction is that a lot of times, when you really

329
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:22.640
get down to it, that the way the body works

330
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.920
is very simple. Okay, is always trying to maintain balance,

331
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.640
and I always say the truth is simple and lies

332
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:35.119
are competent. So that's what I'm trying to get with

333
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:39.920
menopause menopause because we've had so much misinformation.

334
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:41.599
It's very confusing.

335
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:43.440
But I want to tell you the way the body

336
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.880
works is very, very simple, and it's very logical.

337
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.680
And so if we start to look at the body

338
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.039
like what.

339
00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:52.960
Logically makes sense during this a lot of times it'll

340
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.400
become clear what's going on. And I always say that

341
00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:58.480
by the time you have the symptom, something's been going

342
00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:01.799
wrong for a long time, right, and so we need

343
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:05.319
to figure out, you know, before you have fifty five symptoms,

344
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:05.960
when you have.

345
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.160
The first one or two, let's try and see what's

346
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.240
going on. So let's see. I'm still can we have

347
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:14.279
more time? So now you also left them.

348
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:16.680
So we've been talking about testing, So let's talk about

349
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:20.519
how the pharmaceutical industry was that period menopause and menopause,

350
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:25.079
and how you being a hormone specialist really didn't help

351
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:27.160
you in your journey. So that that's you know, I

352
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.079
think that's the real interesting point. You were teaching this

353
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.200
based on the pharmaceutical information, and then you went through

354
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:34.799
and you're like, wait a minute, this doesn't work.

355
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:38.880
Yeah. Yes, I did have a time in my career

356
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.720
where I was actually teaching health care providers about hormones

357
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:46.519
and how to utilize hormones in patients. That was one

358
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.640
of my products, and I remember at the time thinking

359
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:52.880
about the amount of resources that I would bring in

360
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.039
for the health care providers to provide to their patients. Well,

361
00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:59.960
we had a study that came out at the UHI study,

362
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.920
and that study came out, it really just wiped out

363
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:08.799
probably half of those prescriptions, like right away, because it

364
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.200
put a black box warning into a product that was

365
00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:16.000
being utilized for patients with a lot of success. But

366
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:20.079
that study told us some things that provided an opportunity

367
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:22.920
to pause, which I think was important. I don't think

368
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.079
it should have wiped out a whole couple of decades

369
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:30.440
of utilization of estrogen patients. That's what I disagreed with personally.

370
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.680
But I can say during that time frame, what started

371
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:36.920
happening for our health for our health care providers who

372
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.240
were getting trained. They were getting trained about estrogen as

373
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:44.000
like it was toxic waste. For instant and it's not.

374
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.640
Now we're having to pay for that as women because

375
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.160
when we go into our health care providers with that

376
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:53.640
black box warning there, that was not going to be

377
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:56.880
something they were going to reckon. So, knowing what I

378
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.240
know about the estrogen that's out there in the marketket

379
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.160
place now versus the one who was in the marketplace before,

380
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.079
we're in a space where our healthcare providers now have

381
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:10.160
the ability to prescribe medication that works for patients. But

382
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:14.680
it's not only about prescribing estrogens. It's about understanding what

383
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.160
else the body needs beside that, because, like doctor Taylor said,

384
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.519
this is a balance of hormones across the body. It's

385
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:24.640
not just estrogen. We got progesterone, we got cortisol, we

386
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.480
got thyroid. We have to look at all of that.

387
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:31.440
So if you think about a pharmaceutical company developing something

388
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:34.400
new in that space, well it didn't come out, it

389
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:36.960
didn't happen, and you must know that it takes over

390
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.119
ten years of time to get a molecule to market.

391
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.279
So what does that mean. There's nothing. There's nothing coming.

392
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:48.000
So that put us in a spot that was detrimental

393
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.240
patients for women, and now you have women, it doesn't

394
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.759
matter what background you're from struggling to be able to

395
00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:59.799
find out what to do or being put on some

396
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.400
thing that may not necessarily be what they need. Because

397
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:05.960
I'll tell you I'm not a proponent for every woman

398
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:10.359
getting estrogen. I am a proponent for every woman figuring

399
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:13.480
out what's going on with their body because they may

400
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:17.279
not need it, okay, but what they do need is

401
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:19.839
to understand the root cause of what's going on by

402
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:24.319
getting the proper testing. And then you're able to get

403
00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:26.839
what you need from your provider because your provider is

404
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.200
a partner with you. With the and this, you're collaborating together,

405
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.960
and with that collaboration you come out with a good

406
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:35.079
impact for the patient.

407
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:39.599
And see, you get down to the real problem right

408
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:46.519
there at again, is that the problem is the testing, Yes.

409
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:47.240
And the black box warning.

410
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:52.400
All of the whis thirty, none of them talked about

411
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:57.759
testing the hormones. All talked about symptoms leading to an

412
00:21:57.799 --> 00:21:59.799
outcome ten or fifteen years later.

413
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.799
Okay, so you have a symptom of estrogen or whatever.

414
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:06.680
And the only reason why we stopped the estrogen is

415
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:09.079
if you had a mammogram that was positive or if

416
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:12.920
you had postmonal puzsal bleeding. That mas absolutely no sense.

417
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:16.359
We don't wait to check somebody's blood pressure after they

418
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:18.240
have a stroke or after you know.

419
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:20.799
So that and.

420
00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:23.640
Now here's the problem with lifting the black box in morning.

421
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:26.279
Now I feel like it's the wild wild West.

422
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:28.519
Yes, it can go out.

423
00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:34.440
Everybody exactly everybody's talking about and nobody talks about testing.

424
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:39.200
Nobody would take cholesterol medicine unless somebody get their lippid panel.

425
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:42.680
Nobody would take blood pressure medicine if no one took

426
00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:46.720
their blood pressure. But women take parmones and no one

427
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:49.920
gives them an accurate understanding of what's going on.

428
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:52.079
That's why they say my laps are normal and I

429
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:57.240
still feel awful. Okay, if you check your blood pressure

430
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:03.039
with a thermometer, Okay, you're going to get a bad reading. Okay,

431
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:05.279
you're not going to get the information that you want.

432
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:09.960
So that's what I'm telling you. I just it's so

433
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:14.440
clear to me. It's just I just don't understand why

434
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:21.640
we while we tolerate this confusion among professionals, among American

435
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.119
college or obiju, I N they'll say you cannot use

436
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:29.720
this for individual farmer minded boyd you can't use blood either,

437
00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.599
you can't use something either. None of that tells you.

438
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:38.000
But in my twenty five years of clinical experience, I

439
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:42.200
have seen some live attest match. But the patient, you know,

440
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:46.359
reports and if I correct it, they report that it works.

441
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:46.960
Just like you said.

442
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:50.079
At the pharmaceupal industry they had and it worked and

443
00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.400
then it got wiped out. So anyway, I know, I

444
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:57.640
start to go too far when I start talking about this.

445
00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:04.920
Now. Yeah, it's just it's just a it's just been

446
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:06.319
a lifelong journey.

447
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:10.759
And now I'm like, Okay, just like your doctor got attacked,

448
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:12.680
the quack and all of that stuff.

449
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:15.759
But if you talk to another woman and you've had

450
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.960
the experience, you've seen what doesn't work and what does work,

451
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.359
nobody can really attack you.

452
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.000
And and and let me tell you, woman to woman

453
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:32.839
communication I believe is faster than the Internet. Okay, women

454
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:36.240
talk to other women, especially about these issues. I see

455
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:39.759
it on Facebook. I see it on everyone. Everybody's talking about.

456
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:44.720
Everybody's confused. There need to be some voices of reason

457
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.599
out there. And that's why I'm trying to recruit people

458
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.000
like you who have an audience women come to and

459
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:54.519
just like I gave you a new tool to help

460
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:57.960
you help women. I'm looking for more people like you

461
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:01.960
who will say, hey, look, I've got this audience. I

462
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:04.559
feel like there's just a few things that if I

463
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.480
could have that I could really help these women. And

464
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.839
I'm hoping this is one of the tools that therapists

465
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:14.759
are even just regular people, because it really is simple

466
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.680
and all you have to do is be exposed to it,

467
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:20.799
and it can you know, it can change your perspective

468
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:23.799
on things. So, I see, we have some questions stacking up.

469
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:26.079
You can take a look at them. Let's let's do

470
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:27.640
about two or three more minutes and then I promise

471
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:29.279
we don't have a break. Then we're going to come

472
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:32.559
back and answer these questions. And if you've gotten more questions, please,

473
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:35.880
you know, uh, put them in the chat and we

474
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:38.759
will get to those. So, you know, maybe the last

475
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:41.519
thing I want to talk about is that you are

476
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:43.799
you are trying to go through this experience that my

477
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:47.079
patients working. So so why don't you tell me, you

478
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:50.240
know what happened you got your SOLVA says kind of

479
00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:53.960
tell kind of tell me, uh, you know, kind of

480
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:56.240
the roadblocks that you've come through, and what you're going

481
00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:59.079
to try and what we're going to try and help

482
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:02.799
you with, and what little symptom did you talk about this? Like, hey,

483
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:05.559
maybe the friend that I might need this testing. Let's

484
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:07.480
see think you said something about your sleeping feel a

485
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:10.319
little bit offer, So why don't you tell why you

486
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:13.559
even said, Hey, I want to do the saliva Okay.

487
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:17.359
Yes, because my practitioner, she's an amazing, amazing she does

488
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:20.160
bloodwork on me every six months because yes, my hyroid

489
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:23.119
is something she has to check on. And I'm also

490
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:27.359
on a testosterone cream. Testosterone cream, do have to get

491
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:30.559
your blood tested every six months? So I will say,

492
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:33.000
what I wanted to understand and know is the experience

493
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:35.799
for women who do the saliva testing. So I asked

494
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:39.000
for the kid myself. But then I understood from that

495
00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:42.480
was how can I provide the root cause for a

496
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.359
client I'm speaking with if they're still not getting the

497
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.960
testing from their health care provider in that fifteen minute visit.

498
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:52.599
So now I provide something called the executive Cognitivitch audit,

499
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.480
where that test kit goes to the patient they can

500
00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:58.640
get their saliva testing done and then they can have

501
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:02.440
an hour of strategy talking fine with me to figure

502
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:05.559
out what's going on with the root cause of their symptoms.

503
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:08.160
So I ordered my test, I got it. I was

504
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:10.880
so excited, and then I realized I needed to make

505
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:13.519
sure I took my hormones at least twelve hours before

506
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:16.400
my saliva testing. So I typically take them too late

507
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:18.720
at night to do that, So now I have to

508
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:21.200
remember to do that. But my kit came within a

509
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:24.279
couple of days. It's very easy. I've got parts of

510
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:26.200
a hero on my desk still it has an ice

511
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:28.599
pack box in it. Back and send it back to

512
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:31.720
the laboratory to have the testing evaluated and looked at,

513
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:34.599
and then a report will come back to me. Of

514
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.400
course that doctor Taylor provides this in his practice as well,

515
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:42.240
and so then the patient can get the insights from

516
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:47.559
someone who understands the testing, understands from listening to them

517
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:53.000
about their symptomatology, and then put the puzzle together to

518
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:55.160
come up with an action plan. That's why I call

519
00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:58.839
myself a strategist. Typically in corporate that's all we think of,

520
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.680
is okay, root cause analysis strategy, Then what do we

521
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:04.319
do next? Word? The tactics to it. The bottom line

522
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.759
is that women feel like crap okay, and no one's

523
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.640
been testing, so now we can. We can provide that

524
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:15.480
for patients, and through the executive cognitive edge on it,

525
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:17.880
we can figure out what's going on is causing the

526
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:20.279
brain fog and all these symptoms that are happening to

527
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:24.160
those high performing women out there, even those running households.

528
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:26.480
Of course, to make sure they get to a space

529
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:28.920
where they feel much better with it they were feeling

530
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:29.519
like yesterday.

531
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:35.000
Yeah, So hey, rebel, right before we go and you

532
00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:37.480
pull up those slads, I'm going to take one minute,

533
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.680
and I want to because I think these slads. Take

534
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:44.119
a minute. Okay, So I think some of the questions

535
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:47.920
you had this long, expensive path in confusion, multiple doctors, normal,

536
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:50.799
that's what you're talking about. You get imaging, you get

537
00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:53.240
still no answer to get MRI and all this kind

538
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:53.720
of stuff.

539
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:57.359
Okay, So I told you all of this, Like you said.

540
00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:00.960
Timing matters, patterns matter, and blood free harmomatters.

541
00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:02.000
So that's the problem.

542
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:06.240
Now, this is the saliva testament somebody's talking about, you know,

543
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:10.119
like cognitive function. Well, your brain uses more energy than

544
00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:13.519
any organ in your body. And this is a quartosol

545
00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:16.759
c quotasole mobilizes glucles, so you have energy during the day.

546
00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:19.720
That green is the normal area. This is this patient

547
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:24.000
this energy. Look at this energy compared to this energy. Okay,

548
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:27.920
are this anti inflammatory compared to this anti inflammatory?

549
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:28.599
All right?

550
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:31.599
And this cortosol. You wrote a book called the stress

551
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:35.559
Connection because it's connected to everything. Your hormones, your joints,

552
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:38.839
is everything. And this is the last slide I want

553
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:41.519
to show you is that this is not rare. This

554
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:45.079
is what I see all the time. Nobody's in this

555
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.200
green area. That's why their brain doesn't work.

556
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:48.759
That's why.

557
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:50.960
So this is the criminal. This is what I said,

558
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:54.200
Stress is the problem. Seventy five to ninety percent of

559
00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:56.839
the time is the root cause. So all of you

560
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:00.440
people who are asking why don't I have enough energy?

561
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:02.799
Braining and all this, this is it. So now we're

562
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:04.319
going to go to a break. I just wanted to

563
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:06.519
see that. So now I think we have a reference

564
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:09.640
point to answer some of these questions. Okay, so you

565
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:14.160
can see how the testing increases our information.

566
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:17.079
From which we can make a good decision. So let's

567
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:19.160
go to break. There is all a question and answer

568
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:20.920
after this. You're putting your questions in there. We're going

569
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:22.160
to get through them as fast as we can.

570
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:25.799
All right, thanks, We are going to a quick break,

571
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:30.000

modern times. Here's your host, doctor Eldred Taylor.

587
00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:38.839
Okay, all right, the truks. Can you see these questions? No?

588
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:41.400
I cannot see them. I see, let's see one see.

589
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:43.480
The first one came up Okay, so here we go.

590
00:31:43.559 --> 00:31:44.359
Yeah, that's it.

591
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:48.440
So how do hormone changes affect focus, memory, confidence and

592
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:51.759
decision making? That's why I wanted to show that slab. Okay,

593
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:55.160
so go ahead. So so, uh, I'll let you answer

594
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:57.240
it and then I'll put in my two yes.

595
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:01.720
So when hormone changes has then you have to keep

596
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:06.799
in mind that it affects your insolent sensitivity, because happening

597
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:10.519
is that your glucose is then changing. When that glucose changes,

598
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:13.759
which sometimes can be up to thirty percent, you're basically

599
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:16.519
starving the sales in your brain for what you need

600
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:18.759
to lead and what you need to do every single day.

601
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:23.319
And because you don't know that's happening, you feel like, gosh,

602
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:25.880
possibly I've heard women say I feel like I've got dementia.

603
00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:29.839
That happened to me. You start blinking in mid sentence.

604
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:32.599
You can be in a presentation that you have provided

605
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:35.720
probably several times over your lifetime and your career, and

606
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:39.079
all of a sudden, cannot remember the next word, or

607
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:41.880
you may not be able to remember a person's actual name.

608
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:45.000
In my case, my mother did have dementia, so it

609
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:48.400
concerned me that was I starting to get dementia as well.

610
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:52.359
That wasn't the case. More hormones needed to be balanced.

611
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:57.160
Once they were balanced, my words came back. Actually put

612
00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:59.599
a video about that on YouTube because I felt like

613
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:02.680
other and needed to understand that they were not alone.

614
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:04.799
Doctor Taylor, what what would you add to that?

615
00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:05.559
Oh?

616
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:09.240
Well, again, that's why I showed those slots you talked

617
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:10.039
about glucose.

618
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:12.720
Quartosole gives you a steady supply.

619
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:14.759
Of glucose during the day, high at night, low in

620
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:17.480
the morning, and you don't have it. One of the

621
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:20.599
first things that the first symptoms is that brain fag.

622
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:24.640
I think it's from the lack of that cortisol. So

623
00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:27.200
how do you how do you how do you self

624
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:29.839
medicate yourself with carbohydrates?

625
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:32.519
A thing? Why is there a line in front of

626
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:37.519
Starbucks every morning? I think because everybody's cortosol is low

627
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:38.119
in the morning.

628
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:42.759
They've made an off of low morning cortisol. Because you

629
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:45.359
if you have a normal supply of cortosol, you shouldn't

630
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:47.559
need three cults or coffee to wake you. You shouldn't

631
00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:51.359
need stulant to wake you up. Okay, you shouldn't. So

632
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:55.640
fixing that stress that quartisol that is the key to

633
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:58.480
your memory. Because you're a high performing woman, you have

634
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:01.519
stressed yourself out for twenty or thirty years. Now your

635
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:05.039
hormones change. That's another stress. That's when it hits. So

636
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.359
we've got to fix the hormones. So we got to

637
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:09.480
fix the stress. Reason why we wrote the book the

638
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:12.440
Stress Connection, after all your heartmones making you sick, because

639
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:15.920
we found out that the stress made our regular treatment

640
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:19.760
in effective because the quarter's always messing it up. So anyway,

641
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.239
all right, so best diet for menopause, I think that's

642
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.000
definitely going to be something sure you help people with.

643
00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:30.159
Yes. Absolutely. Nutrition is a big focus of when I'm

644
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:33.840
talking to women, and I can tell you the best

645
00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:37.239
diet for menopause is number one team. Okay. I've had

646
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:40.920
so many women who start restricting their food because they're

647
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:43.840
gaining the weight in the middle. What you do when

648
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:48.159
you actually restrict your food is you're stressing your body

649
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:51.559
out more, okay, and then you say, okay, well let

650
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:55.079
me exercise more so that I can actually, you know,

651
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:58.199
lose more weight. I was doing one hundred miles road

652
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:01.639
biking a week, and I gained weight during that time.

653
00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:04.000
And every time I train for this charity ride that

654
00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:06.400
I do. I have to do that much mileage on

655
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:08.639
the bike so I can make it through the charity ride.

656
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:11.480
But I can tell you that that adds to the

657
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:14.280
stress I already have in my body. When you over

658
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:19.079
exercise a periodmenopause or menopause or postmenopause body in my case,

659
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:22.880
then what happens is you increase the cortisol. Yes, eat,

660
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:25.280
but eat the right types of food. When it comes

661
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:29.679
to going to the store, the middle aisles, forget about them. Okay,

662
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:32.519
you need protein first, is what you're thinking about for

663
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:35.480
the course of your day. If you're one hundred pounds,

664
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:37.360
you should be getting about one hundred grams of protein.

665
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:39.480
If you're one hundred and fifty pounds, one hundred and

666
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:42.000
fifty grams of protein. I know that sounds like a lot,

667
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:44.760
because what happens is that women start out in a deficit.

668
00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:49.239
They start with coffee first. Delay that coffee for ninety

669
00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:53.880
get some sun on your body, make your natural natural

670
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:58.840
circadian rhythm up first. Then eat some food in the morning. Okay,

671
00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:01.840
start with the good protein source, be it eggs or

672
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:05.039
be it some meat of some of some type. Women asked,

673
00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:08.320
they say, well, should I eat drink my protein shake. Well,

674
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:10.360
a lot of the protein shakes that you get off

675
00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:12.320
the shelf, there's some good ones and some bad ones,

676
00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:14.599
and there's a lot of ingredients in there you probably

677
00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:18.320
should think through very carefully. So the best resource for

678
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:22.920
a protein is actual food because your body apps absolutely

679
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.599
will metabolize that in a way that makes you feel full,

680
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:28.559
Versus a protein shake that will go through you very

681
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:33.039
very quickly and you always start feeling hungry. You're like, well,

682
00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:35.719
I took my protein and at fifty grams of protein

683
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:38.000
in the shape. Can't do that to your liver over

684
00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:39.840
and over and over again. Got to get some real

685
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:44.440
So start a protein source, a clean carbohydrate, and then then.

686
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:44.840
Go from there.

687
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:48.519
Okay, So you know, I see people I going to

688
00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:50.920
the gym, and I see these women and all these

689
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:53.159
glasses and all this stuff, and I see that their

690
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:56.239
body is not changing. And I sit there, I'm like, wow, look,

691
00:36:56.519 --> 00:36:58.320
I wish I could give them a line of test.

692
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:01.480
You get some quote. This gym membership would go a.

693
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:04.239
Lot further, you know, And I'm like, oh, I just

694
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:06.360
wanted to like, hey, take this test. This will help

695
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.760
you out in the anyway, all right now, This is

696
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:10.880
what I want to talk about. Low estrogen fact on

697
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:13.679
the card help. I know that that has been a

698
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:17.519
big subject. This is what I believe estrogen and and

699
00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:21.559
our progesterone by themselves, I don't think affects the heart

700
00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:25.840
as much as estrogen progesterone balance because too much.

701
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:27.599
Estrogen increases cliding factors.

702
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:31.400
Okay, right, So you don't want to say estrogen is

703
00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:35.039
good for the heart, especially even not testing it correctly. Okay,

704
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:37.239
so you know why don't you get why don't when

705
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:39.280
we get blood class when they're on birth control pills.

706
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:43.320
It's the estrogen that increases clouding factors. So I hear

707
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:45.760
all of this stuff about how estrogen helps the heart,

708
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:48.440
but we always got to look at it's not estrogen,

709
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:51.679
it's the balance of estrogen prodes. You can have estrogen

710
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:54.559
all you want, and if your quotas are cur screwed up,

711
00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:58.599
stress kills people. You know, stresses what causes the heart problem.

712
00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:01.840
So I don't look at the er can help the heart.

713
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:04.559
I'm not gonna say the progesterone helps the heart. The

714
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:10.440
balance between ESWERG that protects the heart, It protects everything.

715
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:12.199
Is that balance protects it.

716
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:13.519
So all right.

717
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:15.039
We got ten minutes and we got one, two, three,

718
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:19.360
five questions. So that's you can talk about heart health

719
00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:22.239
if you want, But that's my perspective. I don't like

720
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:25.840
to say one hormone is good and the other hormone

721
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:29.039
is bad. That's progesterone by themselves aren't good or bad.

722
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:31.920
Imbalances bad, balance is good. That's my modjo.

723
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:34.280
Yeah, and a lot of that may be left over

724
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:38.880
as well from the WHI study. So you heard about that.

725
00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:42.039
There is a valid concern because that's what you heard

726
00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:44.320
the news. Doctor Taylor. I think you did a great

727
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:46.519
job actually answering that because it has to be a

728
00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:48.719
balance and you have to make sure you look at

729
00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:52.159
each patient individually exactly.

730
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:55.360
So the next one, I'm struggling to focus. I'm gaining weight,

731
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:57.920
and the hot flashes are affected my daily life. What

732
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:01.159
would be your approach if if you are my patient,

733
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:03.840
talk to you, I tell you I think I understand you,

734
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:09.840
and then I hand you a salivity. Yes, it's like, hey,

735
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:12.800
I understand You're not alone. I've been doing this for

736
00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:14.639
twenty five years. I hear this over and over and

737
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:17.800
over again. Here's the saliva test. Talk about it. It

738
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:20.480
will become clear to you and to me what we

739
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:24.039
need to do. And that's that makes it a partnership,

740
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:27.320
that makes us a joint She understands.

741
00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:29.519
I understand everybody's in agreement.

742
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:33.400
Nobody's getting back on Facebook asking you know, how do

743
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:35.119
you interpret my saliva test?

744
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.239
We got people all over the end of that's talking

745
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:39.119
about blood testing.

746
00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:42.199
So so yeah, that's what I would do, all right, Jack,

747
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:43.920
Miss Robertson, what would you do?

748
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:47.880
Absolutely the same approach. I would say that she just

749
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:50.880
provided fifty percent of what we need by giving us

750
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:54.800
the symptomatology. When you give us symptomatology and then we

751
00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:57.360
have the testing, we put the two together. And that's

752
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:00.159
why I say, there's that our long strategy session. So

753
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:03.239
we do I say, okay, we have that testing. Doctor

754
00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:05.280
Taylor has the testing results as well, and then we

755
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:08.679
look at that and we say, okay, this symptomatology tells

756
00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:11.000
us that this is what's going on, this is what

757
00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:13.840
we're going to change as a result, so then you

758
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.239
can get the outcome that gets to those symptoms to

759
00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:18.239
a point where you can perform again. And that's what

760
00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:18.920
you're looking out.

761
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:22.159
And let me make clear I don't want to disregard

762
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:25.280
blood testing because blood testing can tell you a lot. Okay,

763
00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:28.559
can you know they tell you about liver functioning, kidney functioning.

764
00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:31.800
He can tell you about inflammation with the the reactive protein.

765
00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:35.639
He can tell you about about heart health. We're looking

766
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:40.760
at lipids and life protein, little la and homossisting.

767
00:40:41.239 --> 00:40:44.400
Blood testing is great to answer the right question.

768
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:47.320
Okay, to thyroid, you don't look at thyroid and so

769
00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:50.079
alight because it is not a fact voluble or so

770
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:52.559
you look at thyroid in the blood. So it's just

771
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:55.119
a matter like this rob the saying, which test do

772
00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:58.400
I do based on the symptomatology that you gave me?

773
00:40:58.599 --> 00:40:59.599
Okay, so you do.

774
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:02.199
The blood testing, and you want to do your testing

775
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:04.000
to look at the metabolized especially in.

776
00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:07.679
The cancer patient, Yes, you do that too. But the

777
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:11.519
missing piece that nobody really talks about is that's aliva

778
00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:13.599
testing and measuring stress.

779
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:17.320
You cannot manage what you cannot measure, So to to

780
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:20.239
try and manage stress without being able to measure it

781
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:24.599
through saliva testing or heart rate variability or something is

782
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:25.880
very hard.

783
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:27.400
To manage without that measurement.

784
00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:32.480
So anyway, this woman said, because Esragen eserg replacement therapy

785
00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:36.280
is safe. I think we already answered that question. Is

786
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:38.199
that we don't like at least I don't like to

787
00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:42.719
look at carmos and isolation. So so yeah, so tell

788
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:45.119
me what how would you answer if someone asks you,

789
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:47.400
is es to replacement therapy is safe?

790
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:49.480
What would your answer be? Now?

791
00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:52.280
Okay, First, the question I would ask back to them

792
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:54.960
is what do you get that? Where do you get

793
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:58.199
that information from? Because we still need to understand where

794
00:41:58.239 --> 00:42:01.000
does that come from in someone's eyes, our mind's eye

795
00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:03.679
as to why they're asking that question. A lot of

796
00:42:03.719 --> 00:42:06.400
it is because of the study. And then number two,

797
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:10.519
you have to think through estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, all the

798
00:42:10.559 --> 00:42:13.639
hormones in our body. You were producing so much more

799
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:16.840
of that in your pre mental puzzle years than what

800
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:19.719
you're producing now. So if you were to look at

801
00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:23.400
that on actual blood testing, gosh, that would mean the

802
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:26.320
estrogen that your body produced over years was just not safe.

803
00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:29.039
You have to think through that. But what we're doing

804
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:32.880
is not saying, okay, let's put estrogen in every body.

805
00:42:33.159 --> 00:42:35.559
What we're doing is saying, let's test to find out

806
00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:38.360
where the balance is that's needed. And then when you

807
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:43.239
provide the balance for a patient. Then estrogen is safe. Okay,

808
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:51.079
that's what I would say. That's yep, that isunded.

809
00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:54.679
More and more like me is. But you know what,

810
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:57.280
that is what I'm trying to do, and you know

811
00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:59.519
the other. Okay, so let's let's answer this and then

812
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:02.000
should I have my quartosol level tested?

813
00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:04.960
So what is the all right? So I'll answer that.

814
00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:07.800
You can answer. Okay. Now here's what. Usually when people

815
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:10.000
say that they look at their quartosol.

816
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:13.000
They get a morning seven eight am quartersol in the blood.

817
00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:16.280
Right, So it's a couple of problems wrong with that. One.

818
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:18.920
When you have to get to the lab draw at

819
00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:21.000
eight o'clock in the morning, that means the arm probably

820
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:21.519
woke you up.

821
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:23.360
They're all discobobulated.

822
00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:25.480
You know, you usually sleep till nine, but you had

823
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:28.440
to go to eight, so your quartosol is up. Okay,

824
00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:32.039
So when you actually woke up and during that normal day,

825
00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:33.760
your quartozol might have been down, but you had so

826
00:43:33.840 --> 00:43:36.480
many stress to get there. So now your blood quarters

827
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:38.920
are like, oh, well, your morning portosol's planing. I want

828
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:40.840
to know the quarta's always she woke up. We do

829
00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:44.400
the saliva testing thirty minutes after wake up. So then

830
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:47.079
you're like, Okay, this is why she wakes up and

831
00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:50.119
still feels froggy or whatever. So you want to do

832
00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:52.480
saliva testing because then you can and who wants to

833
00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:54.840
get their blood round four times during the day, You

834
00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:57.159
can take the saliva sample four times during the day.

835
00:43:57.199 --> 00:43:58.880
When you get that curve that I showed you in

836
00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:03.480
those slides quartisol, I think is the best way to

837
00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:05.760
do it, and do it through life, so.

838
00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:08.119
You can answer, you can give me your answer.

839
00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:12.079
I totally believe that to be the case as well,

840
00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:14.519
because when you go to your healthcare provider, you're getting

841
00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:18.400
one moment snapshot in time of what your cortisol is,

842
00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:21.960
and like doctor Taylor said, it changes throughout the course

843
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:24.760
of the day. So to get a clear picture is

844
00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:27.440
better to be able to look at what's going on

845
00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:31.280
with those four time frames. But not only that, then

846
00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:33.760
it provides a clue for us that, oh, you're going

847
00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:36.000
to wake up at night because your cortosol is right

848
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:39.159
here at this certain time of day, And then we

849
00:44:39.239 --> 00:44:41.719
can answer that puzzle for you and say, Okay, you say,

850
00:44:41.760 --> 00:44:44.159
why am I waking up? This is why you're waking

851
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:46.199
up because this is what we see in your hormone

852
00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:49.079
panel and also what we see with your cortisol level.

853
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:52.480
Yeah, I think the last question is what's the biggest

854
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:54.320
misconception we'll have about cortosol.

855
00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:56.480
Can you pull up that the slide that I have

856
00:44:56.559 --> 00:44:59.360
right now, and I'm going to say, here's the biggest misconception.

857
00:44:59.639 --> 00:45:03.159
When people feel like they're stressed, they say, oh, I

858
00:45:03.199 --> 00:45:06.039
know my cortisol is high. No, most of the time

859
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:10.039
your cortisol is low. Cortisol is your adaptation harmone. So

860
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:13.280
it helps you to adapt to changes in your environment

861
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:16.599
externally and internal. So when you don't have enough, you

862
00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:22.360
cannot adapt appropriately. Okay, So now you're stressed because you can't.

863
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:24.280
You don't have the energy to do what you used

864
00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:27.400
to do. So people try and act like cortisol is bad. Oh,

865
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:31.199
it's a steroid. You can't take steroid harmones. You like

866
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:34.800
Miss Robins said, when you were high performing, you had

867
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:38.599
a lot of quartisol. I guarantee you you were up here, okay,

868
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:41.880
and that cortisol made you stress, but you were productive.

869
00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:45.920
But when you're down here, cortasov you're still stressed, but

870
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:48.880
there's not enough cortisol to handle that. There's not enough

871
00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:53.000
glucos being mobilized to your brain and everything. So that

872
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:57.760
is the misconception. I'm doing it. I'm doing a YouTube

873
00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:00.840
video about a book called The Safety is a Cortisol

874
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:05.119
that was written by enyphrenologist in like nineteen fifty or sixty,

875
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:07.440
and he's talking with it. That's that's where I learned

876
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:11.079
this from. Cortisol is not bad. Cortisol is very but

877
00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:14.159
too much cortisol or too little quartisol is bad.

878
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:17.360
And that's with any harmone. Too much estrogen or too

879
00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:20.519
little esergen bad. Too much progesterone or too little present,

880
00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:24.480
too much insulin or too little insulin is bad. Everything

881
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:27.880
is like that. So the misconception is that cortisol is

882
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:31.679
not your enemy. Normal cortisol is what helps you to

883
00:46:31.840 --> 00:46:35.719
adapt to this environment. But if you don't have enough,

884
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:39.840
can adapt to new situations of menopausal too much exercise,

885
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:45.599
it's your adaptation harmone. So anyway, that's my answer to that.

886
00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:50.159
Everything that's the misconception about cortisol is not high cortisol.

887
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:53.519
That's usually the problem is low cortisol that makes you

888
00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:54.239
feel like that.

889
00:46:54.760 --> 00:46:57.119
Yes, the only thing I would add to that is

890
00:46:57.119 --> 00:46:59.880
that what we end up doing as high performing women

891
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.719
that we then self medicated with caffeine, or we end

892
00:47:02.800 --> 00:47:06.000
up trying to over exercise. We keep we start doing

893
00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:10.360
over too much to try to compensate for what's going

894
00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:13.079
on with our cortisol levels, and it only makes us

895
00:47:13.119 --> 00:47:15.960
function just above what we would want to be during

896
00:47:15.960 --> 00:47:17.559
the course of the day, but then it drops us

897
00:47:17.639 --> 00:47:21.639
back down with the crash, be it eating the wrong

898
00:47:21.719 --> 00:47:24.880
foods or having too much caffeine during the course of

899
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:26.920
the day, and by three o'clock you're like, Okay, why

900
00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:29.719
am I jittery after I had my caffeine? I thought

901
00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:32.360
it would be okay. Well, you took a stressed out

902
00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:35.440
body and added caffeine on top of it. It's like

903
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:38.880
taking jet fuel and putting into a race car. Those

904
00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:40.599
two don't go together at all.

905
00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:42.679
And you know, the other thing that I want to

906
00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:46.039
show about that discrepancy and energy is that people feeling

907
00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:49.239
that with caffeine and carbohydrates. Yes, people will come in

908
00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:51.079
and they're trying to lose weight and they say, no,

909
00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:54.880
I crave sweet. I'm like, that's counterintuitive. You're a smart

910
00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:57.760
woman and you're eating carbohydrates and thinking of it, and

911
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:01.559
I tell you, you have crazy. You're searching for energy. If

912
00:48:01.559 --> 00:48:03.559
we can get your quotas all up, your cravings will

913
00:48:03.599 --> 00:48:06.000
go away. Then you're going to be so hey, we're

914
00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:09.079
about to but I want to end this. I know

915
00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:11.840
you have the we have the things grolling. We're going

916
00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:13.800
to put her information in here. But this is what

917
00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:16.559
I want to say. If you're somebody who likes who

918
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:19.559
is like miss Roberts, who would like to carry this information,

919
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:21.079
because let me tell you, you can do it one

920
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:25.239

921
00:48:25.239 --> 00:48:30.079
you a way to have a library of my information

922
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:34.159
to help you learn how to help patience. And that's

923
00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:36.199
what I'm trying to provide for people. You're not learning

924
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:38.719
this on our own. I have information to feed her

925
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:42.360
and everything. And so we're entering too this kind of relationship.

926
00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:44.159
And I'd like to have more people like her. And

927
00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:45.239
you don't have to have.

928
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:48.239
Thirty years of experiencing pharmaceuticals, right.

929
00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:51.840
You just have to be a woman who is going

930
00:48:51.880 --> 00:48:54.800
through this and wants to find the answer and wants

931
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:57.440
to help somebody else. See one, do one, teach one.

932
00:48:57.599 --> 00:49:00.800
