00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.880
Here's your host, Doctor Eldred Taylors.
15
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.079
Hello, Hello, good morning, and I am doctor Taylor. I
16
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.120
am the Spiritual MD, I am the hormone doctor, and
17
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:17.040
I am the creator of the Ageless Blueprint. And if
18
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.519
this is the first time you've been here, welcome, Welcome.
19
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.280
If you have seen this before, as you notice, I
20
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.799
have a new backdrop here. It's all on that side.
21
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.519
And I told you I want to try and improve
22
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.239
this every time. So I got a nice professional backdrop
23
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.000
so that I don't have to worry about blurring something
24
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.280
behind me, because this is kind of my sacred space.
25
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:43.200
This is my extra bedroom. My wife is a night out.
26
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.239
I'm an early bird, so I like to get up
27
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.000
early and get my work done. So I didn't want
28
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:54.159
you to really see what my little sacred space looks like.
29
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.400
So I got this backdrop. But anyway, I hope you
30
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.760
like it. You can comment on it and tell me
31
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:02.959
what you think. But anyway, this is a good episode.
32
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.519
This might be one that I have to say is
33
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.240
eighteen or over because we're going to talk about sex,
34
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.759
and we're going to talk about sex and relationships and
35
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:19.199
why sex can be such a controversial Sometimes it can
36
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.599
cause problems in relationships, and primarily it's because we don't
37
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:28.439
understand the difference between what happens when a person gets
38
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:32.439
to X chromosomes and when a person has an xcent
39
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.000
a Y chromosome. And what I'm trying to say is
40
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:40.280
that men and women approach sex differently, they think about
41
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:46.039
sex differently, and the outcome of conversations about sex end
42
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.680
up being very different, which can cause arguments and breakups.
43
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.000
So I think this is really important. And the reason
44
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.680
why I'm doing this is that a patient, a cancer patient,
45
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.719
asked me, Hey, if I take this progesterone, will it
46
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:06.520
help my libido? And I said, look, it should because
47
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.759
progesterone helps you to relax, and we're going to talk
48
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.479
about that. But I told her, I said, look, men
49
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:17.400
have sex so they can relax, and women have to
50
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.759
be relaxed in order to want to have sex. So
51
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.439
see that's where the problem goes. Where the problem lies
52
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.240
the men. If they have a stressful day, and if
53
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.960
they come home and their wife sees that he's stressed out,
54
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.800
she can say, come on, big boy, you know, let's
55
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.080
go upstairs and let's take care of you. And they
56
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:41.199
have sex. And afterwards he's relaxed. He could fall asleep.
57
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.919
He doesn't care about what happened during that day. The
58
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:51.199
birds are singing, sweeter, the meal tastes better, everything is better. Now.
59
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.560
When a woman is stressed, she can't relax, okay, but
60
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.879
she has to be relaxed in order to want to
61
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.840
have sex. But the problem is men think women are
62
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.599
like them. So a man comes home and his wife,
63
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.120
a wife is complaining about the kids, and how the
64
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:13.039
dinner was burnt, and how the contractor came and messed
65
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.639
up her yard and all these things. And he says,
66
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.600
all right, baby, come on, I'm gonna make you feel better.
67
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.160
He starts rubbing on and she wants to hit him
68
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.279
over the head with a frying pant because she's like,
69
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.839
get away from me. Can't you see I'm stressed. I
70
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.000
don't want to have sex right now. So then he
71
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.519
goes off in poups and he's upset, and now we've
72
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.639
got a problem. Now, I'm going to tell you that
73
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.160
happens more than you think, and I'll tell you it
74
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.519
used to happen to me before I began to understand
75
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.639
my wife and understand women. Now you have to understand
76
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.839
I was in OBGYN for fifteen sixteen years before I
77
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.959
started doing holistic medicine, so all I talked to was women.
78
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.120
So I won't say I know how women think that.
79
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:00.600
No man knows that, but I feel like I've heard
80
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.120
a lot of the complaints from women, and that's the problem.
81
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:08.639
They are not interested in sex when they are stressed.
82
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.839
So let's try and understand this. You know, I'm a
83
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.399
scientist and I'm a spiritual medce. So I'm going to
84
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:18.040
talk about both of those, how science and physiology and
85
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:22.519
hardmones all of that create this system where men and
86
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.360
women look at sex differently. All right, So let's go
87
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.160
to the first lab. So why men want sex when
88
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.000
they're stressed and women don't. I just kind of explained
89
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:32.319
it to you, But we're going to go a little
90
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:37.600
bit deeper. So by understanding the biological foundations of intimate relationships,
91
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:41.279
we can transform how we connect. In this presentation, we're
92
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.120
going to explore the fascinating hormone differences that drive men
93
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.720
and women contrasting responses response to stress, and how these
94
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.560
differences impact desire and intimacy. And this is what I
95
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.000
tell people all the time. Men are men and women
96
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.720
are women, and that's how it's going to be. And
97
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.519
I men, Hey, if you don't like what your wife
98
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.759
is doing, then you're going to have to marry a man.
99
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.480
If you want her to act like you, you're going
100
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.519
to have to marry a man because women are going
101
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.399
to behave like women, all right, because they have certain
102
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.360
innate things that are in them. In order to keep
103
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.480
civilization going. Okay, somebody has to be a nurturer. Somebody
104
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.279
has to be the actor person who goes out and provides.
105
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:31.399
And this is how life is, This is how nature is.
106
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.680
If you look at the animal kingdom, male animals and
107
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:40.439
female animals have different roles. When we went to we
108
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:43.800
went to Africa, kingy in Tanzania like ten or twelve
109
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:48.079
years ago, and the lions the male they are one
110
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.920
of the protectors and the women go out and hunt.
111
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:55.079
So different. You know, different animals may change those roles,
112
00:06:55.439 --> 00:07:01.279
but different sexes in all nature, they have different roles,
113
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.120
all right. So through the next line, I think I
114
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.439
control it all right. So what we're gonna learn today
115
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.240
is a biological difference. Is how stress affects male and
116
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:15.000
female libido differently through hormonal pathways, harmonal interactions, the critical
117
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.800
roles of testosteron, proges and cortisol and sexual desire. And
118
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.160
you know that's all I talk about is how hormones
119
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:26.720
they affect everything and especially cortisol. The stress connection is
120
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:31.040
definitely in play right here. So relationship impact, Why hormonal
121
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.079
misunderstandings create conflict and how to restore the connection because
122
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:39.160
I will tell you know, why do men cheat? Why
123
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.920
do women stay home? And they take care of the
124
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.519
children most of the time, and they can they can
125
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.279
live without a man. Okay, they can live without a man.
126
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:52.480
There you see all these single mothers around who survive
127
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:56.160
and thrive and their kids do well. And men can
128
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.240
do that, but they're not they're not open enough to
129
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.680
do it because both male and females, they have what
130
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:08.000
we call divine masculine and divine feminine quality. So that's
131
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:12.600
why you know, if if a wife dies, a man
132
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.560
can take on the role of a nurturer. It's not
133
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.839
what has been developed in a man, because early on
134
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.399
we tell men this is what men do, and this
135
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.920
is what women do. But men and women have these
136
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:30.160
same what we call divine energies, this active energy which
137
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.879
is male, and then this nurturing, quiet uh energy that
138
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.039
is called the feminine, the divine feminine. So by understanding
139
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.559
these biological differences and these spiritual differences, couples can move
140
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:47.799
from frustration to compassion and develop strategies that work with
141
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.720
and not against their hormonal reality. So if you know,
142
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:55.120
it's all about understanding, I mean, that's what marriage is about,
143
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:59.600
is understanding the person and the differences in that person
144
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:04.440
and how those differences can actually enhance a relationship and
145
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:08.000
not cause conflict. You know the song by John Legend,
146
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:12.240
he's talking about you know, I love your perfect imperfections,
147
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:16.200
and you know he thinks it's an imperfection. The person
148
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.519
is saying, this is just who I am. But you
149
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.440
have to love what you think are the perfect imperfections
150
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.440
in your mate. All right, let's go to this one.
151
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:29.399
All right, So in a male libido understress, Now I
152
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:33.600
showed you like this hormonal pathway. Now, when men are
153
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:38.799
under stress, testosterone doesn't go toward cortisol. Now progesterone does.
154
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:44.799
Cortisol steals progesterone away, and it's a whole chemical form.
155
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:48.639
It's a whole chemical pathway that shows this. But the
156
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.639
funny thing is that when men are understressed, quortisol doesn't
157
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:57.279
there necessarily steal testosterone. But cortisol can cause a problem,
158
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:01.679
but usually it doesn't. But unlike female heart, male testosterone
159
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.759
levels don't immediately drop during short term stress periods. Doing
160
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.320
short term stress periods. Now, if it's long term, testosterone
161
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.279
can drop, and I'll talk about that I think a
162
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:16.559
little bit later. So when you have this testosterone's it's spiritual.
163
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:23.240
It's like fire Okay, men have this energy that's considered
164
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.159
to be active or it's like fire. And again, when
165
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:30.600
you look at these ancient philosophies, they looked at men
166
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:34.919
like the sun and women like the moon because women
167
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:38.480
had these cycles and men were like fire. They wanted
168
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.720
to go out and be active and do something and
169
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:44.480
create something. So how do you put out fire? It
170
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.559
has to go to water, and women are like water.
171
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.639
So let me tell you. You know, I'm gonna get
172
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.919
into some of this because this is called ancient ageless blueprint,
173
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.000
and I went to Egypt to learn these ancient philosophies.
174
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.360
So what they look at that women are like water. Okay,
175
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.639
they cool the fire. And so that's what you got
176
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.200
to think is that men have stress and they want
177
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:12.960
to go and be cooled off with water. And so
178
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.759
that's that's what happened. But the water has to be
179
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.000
steel and calm. You don't want to be cooled off
180
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.960
by our hurricane. Okay, you don't want to be cooled
181
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.440
off by a hurricane. You want the water to be
182
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:29.159
steel and quiet, and a woman has to feel like
183
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:33.360
that in order to accept and cool off the fire. Okay,
184
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.440
that sounds deep, but it's really it's really beautiful, all right.
185
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:41.360
So sexual activity triggers dopamine and oxytocin release, and dopamine
186
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:45.080
is what gives you pleasure, and oxytocin makes you want
187
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:49.600
to be close to someone and that counteracts the corters
188
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.440
all effects. So the man is looking to be cooled off.
189
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.799
He wants to feel some relief, he wants to be
190
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.799
close to you, but he's looking for or sex to
191
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:04.480
bring that closeness, all right. With women, it's the other
192
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:08.360
way around. They have to be close in order to
193
00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:11.799
want to have sex. They have to feel the oxytocin first,
194
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:15.759
they have to feel the dopamine first before they want
195
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:19.600
to have sex. And men they have sex so they
196
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:23.440
can feel the dopamine and they can feel the oxytocin,
197
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:27.559
and so for men it is a psychological escape. And
198
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:31.120
sex provides both mental distractions so they can forget about
199
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:34.200
the problems that they had at work or with you know,
200
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:39.200
with whoever, and the emotional release from stressful situations. So again,
201
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.879
a man can have an awful day and women you
202
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:47.159
know this, and if you allow them to have sex
203
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:51.519
with you, they forget about everything. If you want to
204
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:54.919
stop an argument with a man, just tell them. Come on, baby,
205
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:58.440
I'll make it up to you. Let's go upstairs and
206
00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:02.639
let's see what happens. He just immediately, just thinking about it,
207
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.960
he gets a smile on his face. Because men are
208
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:11.000
very visual. They can imagine, they can imagine, you know,
209
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.360
a sexual scene, and their body will respond to it.
210
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:19.159
If you don't think that your body responds to your thoughts.
211
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:23.559
Ask a man if he thinks about sex, does his
212
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:26.840
body respond in a certain way? And I think you
213
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.919
know what I mean when you're talking about response. And
214
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:34.159
just like a woman, if she's her thoughts will control
215
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:40.240
her physiologic response. Okay, whether she becomes morshed and excited
216
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:44.080
or whatever it can be, by the thought of feeling
217
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:48.120
close to the man, all right, to her, to her spouse,
218
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.240
or to her sexual partner, all right. The female libido understress,
219
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.679
corta is all blocks progesterone. In one of the other videos,
220
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:59.960
I showed you the hormonal pathway how hormones are rich
221
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:04.000
from cholesterol and then it goes down this pathway. But
222
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:08.159
when stress is involved, it takes a left turn and
223
00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:13.519
instead of making progesterone, it makes cortisol. Okay, so now
224
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.279
her progesterone is down. Now, why is that important? Because
225
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:21.559
stress hormones directly inhibited progesterone production, creating this hormonal imbalance.
226
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:27.639
The nervous system shifts because progesterone is a calming, relaxing hormone.
227
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:29.799
That's why when you don't have enough of it the
228
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.519
two weeks before your period, you get anxious and depressed.
229
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.159
So the body enters automatically enters this fight or flight mode,
230
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.759
prioritizing survival over reproduction because it's saying, hey, look, I'm stressed.
231
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.919
I can't be stressed out trying to carry a baby.
232
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:49.559
Because remember, your body doesn't necessarily realize that there's birth
233
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:56.679
control pills and condoms. It thinks that sex is for procreation,
234
00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:01.000
all right, But we look at it due to recreation. Now,
235
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.919
I will tell you maybe as associated with recreation now,
236
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:08.519
before birth control pills. In ancient times or before birth
237
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:11.559
control pills, I mean, sex was very serious because it
238
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.639
could always produce an offspring, so you had to look
239
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:20.480
at it differently. And women look at sex primarily as
