A better life with Ageless Blueprint starts now. Here's your host, Doctor Eldred Taylor.

1:03 Hello, Hello, Hello, this is doctor Taylor and I am the Spiritual MD, and I am also the hormone doctor. Now today I'm going to be more of a hormone doctor because I'm going to talk about something that I've been doing for over thirty years is talking about saliva testing and the difference between saliva and blood testing. Now, I recently got on TikTok and I started talking about this, and I have over ten thousand followers and I've only been on it for like about six weeks, so I know this is a subject that is near and dear to people's hearts. And I had a lot of questions.

1:44 They were asking me, can you explain more. I've never heard about this. My doctor has never told me about this. So I said, I need to do a long version to really a long version video or do a podcast to try and explain this so that people understand it. Here's what I've learned. You know, we wrote the book Are Your Hartmones Making You Sick? And The Stress Connection? Twenty five years ago, and I spent ten years speaking to doctors and speaking to lay people about saliva testing, but that I stopped doing that about ten or ten ten years ago, really because it wore me out, you know, flying to different places, you know, sitting in airports, having canceled flights, all of that. So I stopped. And when my patients came and told me, hey, look, I've been hearing some things on Instagram and TikTok and they're talking about how blood testing works. And I had one patient who tried it and it just messed her all up.

2:47 And she came back and asked me to redo what we had done before. And I asked, why did you why did you stop? Well, I saw these people on Instagram and they were telling them about blood testing and pellets and all this. I decided, Look, I've got to fight fire with fire. I've got to go on social media and try and debunk a lot of these myths and this misinformation. Because I've been doing this for thirty years when it wasn't popular and nobody was really doing yet. But now it's popular and a lot of people have jumped on the bandwagon, and I'm just going to say it like it is. They don't know what they're doing. They don't and there's they're putting out a lot of misinformation and I've got to I've got to go where they are. That's what my patient told me. She says, you've got to get on Instagram and TikTok. And by the popularity that I've gained on TikTok, I know that that patient was right. And again, I do a lot of things because the patient has asked me to do it, and this is one of those things. So I listened to my patient, because when I listen to them, a lot of times they tell me something that I don't know.

3:55 A patient is the one who introduced me to saliva testing and introduced me to bioidentical hormones. So I make it a fact. I make it a practice to listen to my patients. So this is what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to educate you, the public, about the difference in blood and saliva testing, so you can go in and demand the proper testing when you feel like you have a hormone problem. So I'm counting on you to grasp this information and to take it to the doctors or whoever, because I do a live question and answer every Tuesday night at seven o'clock in Ageless Blueprint. And one of my patients who've been with me for a long time, she said, you know, all I know is saliva testing, doct tale. I never even did any testing until I came to you. And she said, I try to tell my other doctors and they keep trying to convince me to stop. They keep trying to tell me that it doesn't it's wrong, and she knows it. I mean, she knows that that's not true. And she said she's just tired of talking to them, And I understand because I've gotten to that point too. But I believe that if enough patients go in and start demanding proper testing, that doctors will have to change their mind. So I'm counting on you. So let's start rebel. All right, I'm just going to be the blunt that your hormone, your blood hormone test is dead wrong. It's just they're just wrong. Okay.

5:28 For decades we've relied on blood tests and measure hormones. At least most docs have now making critical health decisions based on these results. But what if the foundation of hormone testing has been fundamentally flowed all along. Today we'll explore the standard blood hormone tests might be misleading you and what alternatives could transform your health journey. And I'm telling you, you know, to be honest with you, I did an Obgane residency at Emory University here, and we never drew blood to look at blood levels. We never even considered looking at blood levels. And I'll show you why in just a second. So I never drew blood levels for hormones, and all of the residents everybody who trained with me, we just guessed, okay, and here's the guests.

6:16 If your pre mental pausal, if you haven't gone through menopause yet, and you have any type of hormone problem, we are going to give you. We're going to give you birth control pills. And the only the only difference is what type of birth control pill are you going to take? But if you have endometrosis, if you have PMS, you have irregular bleeding, whatever you have, we gave you birth control pills. Now, when your postmental pausal, what we did was we gave you permanent and pervera, which is an estrogen and a type of progestine or type of progesterone. If you still had your uters, we gave you estrogen and progesterone are permanent pervera. If you didn't have your uters, we said, hey, you just need to take estrogen because we thought all women who are postmonal puzzle were estrogen deficient, but we found out that's not true. And if you look at saliva testing, you will know that that's not true.

7:13 So I don't want to get ahead of myself. I'm trying to stay on points so that you can get every detail. But I just want you to know that your blood tests are dead wrong, and I will debate anybody on that fact. Okay, let's go to the next slide. I think I control it all right. Why didn't we draw blood tests when I was a resident? Because the textbook says that blood harmone testing has its limits. The medical literature said serum steroid hormone levels have limited clinical useful information. This isn't a fringe of pendent opinion. It's straight from the medical textbook. There's a textbook called the gyn Endochronology and it was written by A Leon Spiroff, and that's no doubt about it. The gold standard when we're looking at female in indochronology, female hormones, and it says blood testing or serum testing has no clinical value.

8:08 All right, now, practicing physicians know the truth. During my entire Objuan residency, we virtually never drew blood hormone levels. It's not virtual. We never did or diagnosis a treatment monitoring. Why Because experienced physicians understand the limitations. They don't match the symptoms. Have you ever experienced clear hormone symptoms while the blood test results came back normal. This disconnect isn't rare. So just think women. Have you ever gone in to an obguan's office with any kind of complaint and they draw blood tests and they show you a level and say, oh, here's your problem. We have too much estragen and not enough progesterone. It's not done. And if it is done, they come up with excuses why the blood testing and the symptoms don't match. And I think that's the next slide.

8:57 Then you go to that one. Let me see if I can control my slaves, all right, So this is why saliva works better. The LIVA testing measures the free bioactive hormones, the only ones that active actually affect your tissue and create symptoms. So let me explain this. So hormones estrogen, progesterone, testosterone they are, and cortisol they are fat soluble hormones. That means they are made from cholesterol. That's why even though these commercials try and act like cholesterol is bad for you, and it is if it's too high. But cholesterol is important. You make a lot of your brain cells are primarily a lot of fat.

9:40 But also your hormones are made from cholesterol, so they are fat soluble. Your blood is water soluble, and everybody knows that ail and water they don't mix. So what happens is when the hormone comes from the ovary, it gets packaged in something called sex hormone binding glibular I relate sex hormone binding globular like a FedEx truck. So it gets picked up from the FedEx truck. But the blood measures is how much estrogen is in the FedEx truck. Okay, So there's a lot of packages in the FedEx truck, but only a few packages get delivered to the tissue. And let me tell you what the difference is. Okay, So let's say there are a one hundred packages in the FedEx truck. So that's what you see in the blood rolling around all right. Now, only one to two percent of those hardmones actually get delivered to the tissue, all right. So out of that hundred, one to two packages get sent to get delivered to the tissue whatever that is. And what we're measuring is in saliva. So you get packages of estrogen and you should get packages of progesterone to balance each other out. All right. Well, let's just think, let's say three packages get off the FedEx truck, all right, And the normal in the FedEx truck is anywhere from zero to one hundred, and that's considered be normal. All right. So if I know it's a long explanation, but I want you to understand this.

11:05 If three packages or four packages get off the truck, now the amount in the tissue has doubled. It's gone from two to four. But in the fed X truck there's ninety six packages. And so because it's in the normal range, we say, oh, it's fine, you got plenty of You have plenty of packages, all right now. But in the saliva, I get to see, Wow, there's four packages of estrogen and I only have enough progesterone to balance out two of them. It is two of them, all right. Somebody asked a question. We'll get to that. Okay, So now you're out of balance. You've got four estrogen packages and only two progesterone packages. But the FedEx truck look like it's totally fan. So that's the difference. Okay.

11:47 You can't measure what's floating around on the fed X truck. You have to measure how many packages did I get delivered? And if we know the normal range and the balance in the saliva gland. We can extrapolate that out and say, wow, there should be the normal balance in other tissues. That is the difference. Now, let me tell you what happens in menopause, and I'm going to get to that slat. In menopause, there's no estrogen being picked up from the ovary because the ovary is not not producing anything anymore your menopausal However, the fat tissue can take castosterone an angstine dion that comes from your adrenal gland, and it can convert that it's called aromatization into estrogen. So I believe God made it where women could maintain their femininity and really be able to create esrogen through their fat tissue.

12:39 That's why most women have more fat tissue when you're talking about relatively, they have more fat tissue than men because they need that fat tissue because it's an extra production center for estrogen even if the ovary doesn't make it. So now you have to say, well, now if I have esogen coming from the ovary, and then I also have esogen coming from my fat tissue, and you never see the estrogen coming from your fat tissue in the blood because it's in the tissue. Now you have all of this estrogen and you may not have enough for jesteron to balance it out. So that's it. It's a long explanation, but I need to get this across because there's so much misinformation about this. Let's go to the next line. So, now here's what happens when you do a blood test and they don't match your symptoms, so they'll tell you that, oh, hormones changed too much. You've likely heard that harmone levels fluctuate too much to measure accurately.

13:35 This misleading claim ignores a fundamental reality. Everything in your body fluctuates. Blood, sugar, sodium, potassium all changed throughout the day, yet we still test them. So you're amount of sodium and potassium all that, and it's constantly changing. But we know what the range is and the reason why this works in the blood because they're not fat soluble. They are actually water soluble. So these you can measure blood sugar, sodium. They're perfectly fine to measure in the blood. But when they're fat soluble, it goes back to that scenario that I just explained. Because there is a steady state of heartmone in the saliva. Okay, it fluctuates, but then there's an average and the test I use, you collect it four times over the day. They pull it all together and they get an average or a steady state, just like you do with your sodium potassium. But you have to look in another place. You're looking in the wrong place.

14:32 You can't look for fat soluble hertmones and a water soluble medium. You have to go where the hormone is, not where it's traveling around in a fat ex truck. And what's so great about this is that you can do it four times during the day. So now we can look at your quartisol rhythm that should behind the morning and lower at night, and we'll talk about qurtisol. I may have already talked about it, but this is the false narrative that a lot of people are getting. All right, bub Well, I saw some questions pop up. Should I answer those? Now? I would before we get too far away from them. Okay, So I didn't get to read them because it was kind of distracting me from what I was talking about.

15:12 But what were the questions? Okay? The first one, it's it seems like after all the schooling to be a doctor, would produce more than just a guessing game. Yeah you would think that, wouldn't you. But the problem is is that doctors are used to a routine. Okay, now, let me go back again. When I was a resident, You're right, we never drew any blood because we knew it didn't mean anything. The problem now is they're drawing blood. They're acting like they're making decisions based on the blood, but they're not. They're still guessing. And that's what I need. I need people to understand they are still guessing. We have to take the guesswork out of women's health. I will tell you. I did the video on TikTok where in California they're trying to mandate this education about menopause because studies show that only nine percent of the residents leaving obi juane residencies or any kind of medical residency that they are, they're only nine percent of them feel like they know enough to handle menopause. Now, this is something that one hundred percent of women are going to go through if they live long enough, and only nine percent of the people feel like they know what to do.

16:31 And the reason is is that the blood tests don't tell you anything that they're still guessing. And so if you don't want to guess about your health, women, you have to understand this because I can't deal with doctors. Okay, they're too hard hitted, and you can't convert people who don't want to be converted. That's what I've learned a long time ago. And so I'm going to the public. For one reason is that it's easier to learn than it is to unlearned. And these doctors have learned all of these false narratives, and it's hard to get them to unlearn. At least patients have somewhat of a blank slate and they've experienced this. They know that they've gone to the doctor and the doctor has set that blood tests are fine, and they've got fibroids, and they've got indometrios, they got all of these things. Even if you have indimetrial cancer, the blood levels aren't going to show you anything, and we know that that is due to excess estrogen.

17:26 So I hope, I hope, I hope. I answer that they're still guessing because they have no credible data to make a decision from. So you're left to guess because you have inadequate information that's the problem. So was there another question? Oh, yes, we have a few, next one, Okay, from what you are saying, it would mean blood tests are at least forty inaccurate in that is that the case. They're one hundred percent inaccurate. I don't know where you got forty percent from. I think all blood tests, not just these. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no anything like I said, sodium potassium all that this. Those are water soluble, no doubt about it. That is how you measure those. Fat soluble hormones are different. That's why they talk about vitamin K and vitamin E is hard to measure in the blood because they're fat soluble vitamins. Okay, but if you have if you have a water soluble vibe.

18:24 So yeah, I'm not this is your hormone. Blood tests are dead wrong. They are one hundred percent wrong. Cremnal palusy and postmintal palsy. And that's just not me saying. It's the g y n Innerchronology textbook. It is in the textbook, Okay, And I don't know, I don't care how many studies these doctors put out and try and show you that. Yeah, if you elevate the blood level, you're going to get this. I'm going to show you what happens if you follow harmones through blood. That's even worse. Do we have one more question and then I'm gonna I'll move on and I'll answer questions maybe after the break. Okay, we have another one?

19:05 Yeah, we do. If estrogen is store in fat, when you lose weight, does it flood estrogen into the body. No, So think about estrogen, I mean, think about fat being an esergen factory. Okay, So if you lose fat, then you're decreasing the production of your estrogen factory. Because I will tell you, the menopausal women who need estrogen are women who are at their ideal body weight or less because they don't have enough fat tissue to manufacture estrogen on their own. But if you have someone who's ten percent or more over their ideal body weight menopausally, they have enough fat to produce it on their own.

19:46 All right, So yes, if you lose weight, you're going to be less estrogen dominant. The more weight you gain, the more estrogen dominant you possibly could be. So one more. Do we have one more question? We do? Okay? Is the story. After a certain age, the body storing hormones for later, since the body is slowing the production. Say that again, is the body, well, let me tell. You fat after a certain age, the body storing hormones for later since the body is slowing the production. Let me, I think this is kind of what you're asking. Most postmenopausal women are perimenopausal women, and I see this more times than I can even count. They will come in and say, ever since I've gone through menopause, I've gained twenty pounds and I haven't done anything different. I haven't changed how I eat, I haven't changed how I exercise.

20:40 And I tell women point blank, you cannot diet and exercise your way past the hormone problem. What has happened is that menopausally, the fat tissue is making estrogen, but the ovary is the sole source of progesterone. You don't have an extra progesterone factory, so your estrogen goes down. Your estrogen goes down, but your progesterone goes down more. So now you're estrogen dominant, and estrogen stores fat, and progesterone helps you to burn fat for energy. So now you lost the fat burning hormone, but you still have the fat storage harmone. So that's why you start to gain weight around your hips and thighs. If we give you progesterone, it will help you to burn off of that burn off that fat. Or if you're on progesterone during perimenopauism MENO policy, it keeps you from gaining that weight.

21:31 All right, So I think I answer that question. So let me move on because I know we have a break in a little bit. So here here's another common myth that is debunked that when you're in menopauis you have zero estrogen. And that's not true. Contrary to popular belief, women don't stop producing all estrogen after menopaugs. Your body continues making estrogen through other pathways, something blood tests often fail to actually assess. And that's what I'm saying. It's in your fat tissue. Even after cergical removal ovaries, I get patients come in, Oh, I've had a total hysterectomy. There's no way I can have estrogen. Dot No. Even after surgical removal of overas add a, post tissue continues producing estrogen. This critical fact explains why many women still experience estrogen related symptoms despite zero ovarian function. Now progesterone isn't just for pregnancy and uterine health. It supports your brain, your heart, your gut, and your skin. Proper testing helps optimize these benefits for all patients, regardless of reproductive status.

22:29 Remember I told you that, Hey, we used to say, hey, if you don't have a uterus, you don't need progesterone. That's one hundred percent false. Progesterone affects every organ system in your body. So just because you don't have a uterus, you still need progesterone. I tell women, as long as you have two breasts, or even if you have one breast, estrogen affects your breast tissue. And we know that hormones affect your brain. It affects your mood. That's why you get the moodiness, the high flashes, the irritability at menopause. That's why you can't sleep when menopause happens. Because progesterone is a calming hormone. It acts like GABA in the brain, so it helps you to calm down and go to sleep.

23:09 I hear menopaus of women saying that I can't stop my brain from racing. That's because you don't have enough progesterone. And if you look in the blood and all of these cases, there's not going to be any sign of estrogen. Our progesterone will be very very low. And so then what they say is, oh my god, you have no hormones in your body. We have to give you estrogen, progesterone, testosterone because they're measuring what's coming from the ovary and it's not coming from there anymore. It's coming from other places. And I can't tell you how many how many times and paces come in, and I'll tell you what it does pay for doctors who don't know what they're doing. It's a revenue generator for them, That's what it is.

23:52 So now they get you to put you on all three of these hormones and they keep you calming back, and I'm just telling you the God's honest truth. I tell people, I'm at the point now where I'm at the age now at almost sixty five, where I'm at the get off my lawn stage where I will say what I believe in, what I know, and I don't care who doesn't like it, because I am telling the truth and it's not just me, it's from medical literature that other doctors have ignored because they don't want to do the homework. And I'm just going to say it. Okay, I've been in this practice. I've been in this for thirty years, and these people who have jumped on the bandwagon, who have millions of followers on Instagram, I'm not jealous of them.

24:37 I'm just going to fight fire with fire. First Corinthinus, thirteenth chapter says, I don't rejoice in falsehood. I rejoice in the truth. And so I'm going to say this and I don't care who doesn't like it. Okay, I'm sorry. This is something that's very much This is something I've been trying to get across to people for thirty years. And now I'm under stand there's a new generation of doctors, there are new generation of patients who are going through this transitional process of moving out of their reproductive stage into their non reproductive stage, and women, you need to know this information. I'm sorry, I'm going to calm down a little bit because this really this really gets under my skin when I hear these myths. All right, now, get to this right before we so you know what Let's take a break now, because this is something I really want you to understand, is that if you if your if your doctor is put you on hormones because of the blood test and that's how he's going to follow you, you are going to be overdosed. I can guarantee you you will be overdosed. And after the break, I'm going to tell you how I can say that with no you know, without without any reservation. So let's go to the break, and then we're gonna going to get to this.

26:02 We are going to a quick break, So stay with us as we explore the Ageless Blueprint right here on WOHC Radio and Talk for TV, an ancient secret with a modern twist for better health and vitality.

26:58 We are back for more of Agel's blueprint. Once again, Let's join doctor Taylor for more insights and research on the ancient secret to better health and a better life in modern times. Here's your host, doctor Eldred Tayler. All Right, I'm back. I took a little chill peel so that I don't get too emotional when I'm talking about this subject. But I feel like this is my life's work. This is my mission, is to expose saliva testing to the public. All right, So I kin kind of get a little emotional when I start talking about this. So why many patients are overdosed? Well, the standard blood testing model has led to a dangerous pattern of harmone overdosing, particularly with testosterone and estrogen therapies. And here's what happens, all right, So remember I told you that the blood picks up what's coming from the ovary. So anytime you are given estrogen, whether it's a peel, which I hope you're not, because oral estrogen is can increase your risk of cancer. If you're giving a cream, if you're given pellets, if you're given anything Okay, anything that has estrogen or testosterone in it and you rub it on your skin or however, and it's not coming from the ovary, it will not show up in the blood until the tissue has been saturated. Because remember fat soluble hormones like to go into the fat soluble tissue and the fat tissue around the organs. Okay, So if I rub the cream on,

28:31 it's going to stay in the blood for about a second or two, and then it's going to go right into the tissue. Okay, And that happens with estrogen's, testosterone, whatever. Now, the only way you're going to get that blood level to increase is that you have to saturate the tissue first. And now when the tissue is overloaded, then it's going to go into the blood. So by the time your blood level rises okay, because remember they told you have no hormones, it's not going to go up until the tissue is saturated from So if I give you a dose and then I check you in a month or two, and you're going to see that the blood level hasn't hardly budged at all, and then you're going to go to the patient and say, hey, I don't think you absorb in this cream or whatever, because I don't see it in the blood. So they raise the dose, and then they keep raising the dose until they finally see it in the blood. But by that time you're way out of balance. You've gained fifteen twenty pounds, and I think I've I've got an example of that. You've gained fifteen or twenty pounds because estrogen makes you store fat and you're not getting enough progesterone, or you may not be getting in it at all, and so therefore you're gaining weight, so I think, and your sales are already responding while blood levels appear to be unchanged. Then you get this saturation point. Blood levels only rise significantly after your tissues are completely saturated, well past the optimal therapeutic regular therapeutic level. And then what happens with testosterone. You get down regulation. Excessive hormone exposure calls receptor down regulation.

30:02 Your cells become less responsive over time, leading to diminishing benefits despite increasing the doses. So actually the more you give, the less your cells respond to it. It's almost like insulin resistance if you have too much insulin for too long of a time, you get resistance to it, and that leads to diabetes. So your body is very smart. When it sees too much of something, it starts to respond less to it because it is trying to it's trying to balance you. But when you overwhelm it with all these hormones, it can't keep up. And so if you are on hormones and they are telling you that they are monitoring in your blood, they are not monitoring it correctly. And most of the time what they will say is that, oh, these blood tests don't mean anything, we just need to go by symptoms. So then I say, well, then why did you do the blood test? As why did you do the blood test if you were only going to go by my symptoms. I just told you my symptoms and then you could have guessed, because that's what they're doing anyway it is. I did a TikTok video and said blood testing of hormones is a scam.

31:09 It's a scam. Okay, if you can show me a patient who comes in with a hormone problem and their pre mental puzzle and show me that their blood tests show that they're abnormal, I want to see it, because it doesn't happen pre menal pausally. You go in every time, they're going to tell you your test are normal. Postminal pausally, they're always going to tell you have no hormones. It does not mean it makes no sense. It makes no sense, and you guys need to understand that. All right, Next list real experiences. Parah. I'm just saying your name, but I can tell you I hear this probably two times a week. Sarah gained two hundred pounds after starting estrogen therapy, yet her blood tests showed she wasn't absorbing the medication.

31:55 How could this be possible? The estrogen was clearly entering her tissues, just not showing up in the blood. So here's here's what happens. You go in and say that the doctors look at your blood, that your blood test says, hey, you're not gaining weight because of the estrogen. You must be sneaking downstairs in the middle of the night eating when no one is watching. You must you're not exercising like you're telling me. Are you're cheating? And the patient gets offended because she's telling the truth. Why would she lie to you? She'll say, hey, that's why I say you can't die and exercise your way past the hormone problem, and you can't. All right, So that's I can't tell you how many women come in and they tell me that the doctor told me it couldn't be from the estrogen because the blood test isn't showing that your levels are elevated. The testosterone puzzle. I just saw God last week.

32:46 Despite taking high doses of testosterone that pushed his blood levels to the upper range, like over a thousand, he still felt exhausted with lolabido. The problem wasn't insufficient hormone. It was that his tissues were already saturated, while his symptoms had another cause entirely. Now here's what happened with these guys. If you ask somebody who's on testosterone, they've been on it for a year or two, what they will say is that, Hey, when I first started taking this, man, I felt like I could conquer the world. It gave me more energy, I had more libido. I was chasing my wife around the you know, around the house, and I felt so good. And then after six months or eight months, or one year or two years, he says, Matt, keep taking this testosterone, but I really don't get that like I used to. Here's what happened. Doctor gave him testosterone.

33:38 They increased the dose to get the blood level up. They did that over the course of six, eight, ten months, whatever, and they were overdosed. So what happened. You down regulate your receptors where you can keep you can keep increasing that dose to high heaven, and the sales aren't are going to respond. And here's the problem with testosterone. Remember I told you how women could change testosterone into estrogen and their fat tissue that's how they make their estrogen. Well, men can do it too, So if you give too much testosterone and those men have fat tissue, then it will start converting it into estrogen. And I can show you the saliva test of men where that has happened.

34:19 And then we lower the testosterone dose. Estrogen goes down to test their cells become responsive to it again. So it's not about giving them more testosterone. It's about lowering it so that their receptors can recognize it again. So it's the tole opposite of what doctors are doing. Now. Saliva testing isn't something that I created in a lab. Okay, it's not something that only I have done, and I got a little lab downstairs and I mix up saliva. No, the Journal of Clinical Chemistry had a peer reviewed research article. And if you saw my last podcast about vitamin C, peer reviewed article are the gold standard, all right. So peer reviewed research demonstrated that saliva testing provides superior measurement for several hormones compared to serum testing, particularly for assessing bioactive hormone fractions. And there are about thirty or forty studies on saliva testing, and I'll be happy to create a link, and if you're a physician or you want to take it to the physician, this is well documented.

35:28 They have been doing saliva testing since nineteen sixty that's a year I was born. So it's been around for sixty five years, and I've been talking about it for thirty years. This is another article, the comprehensive review, and that's what you look at. So these are review articles. They're looking at all the articles and coming up with a conclusion. The comprehensive reviews concluded that saliva offers an alternative to serum as a diagnostic fluid and is rich in hormones and other markets that accurately reflect the physical logic status. There's multiple scientific reviews, numerous peer reviewed publications have consistently shown that salivary hormone measurements reliably, reliably reflect the bioactive hormone fractions the only ones that matter for symptom management and clinical outcomes. I don't know how you can get more clear than that. Those are the review articles.

36:24 So you can look at all the articles yourself, but these review articles are looking at all the articles and compiling them and saying, what are all these articles proving? And it says the only ones that matter for simptom management and clinical outcomes is saliva its saliva hormone measurements. So you know, somebody wanted to debate, wanted to debate me on TikTok and said, I refuse to do it because this is not debatable. It's not debatable. It's no hey, I think this. You can think whatever you want, you can believe whatever you want, but that doesn't mean it's true and true out ways authority. So that's why I say, I'm not going to debate anybody about this. The authorities are saying that this is true, that blood tests are worthless when you're looking at salivary hormone levels of fat soluble hormones, they're useless. The textbook says it. This says saliva testing is superior. It's not debatable. And you're not arguing.

37:30 You're not arguing against me, you're arguing against science. Okay, So don't don't shoot the messenger. I'm not I'm just telling you what the science says. And this is something your doctor is never ever going to tell you if he's using blood testing, and and the and my patient last night who was on my Question and Answer, said that the other doctors are trying to get her to stop doing the saliva testing. Why why this is? I'll tell you why. Doctors are always down on what they're not up on. So if they're not up on saliva testing, then they automatically tell you not to do it. Just like when I was talking about cancer and vitamin C.

38:14 If they're not up on how vitamin C can help with cancer, then they're going to tell you not to do it. That's why you have to be your own health advocate. You have to take charge of your health. You have to. Okay, So anyway, let's move on. So why won't the doctors do it? It seems so, it seems so elementary. Why won't they do it? Well, here's the reason why. It's because medical legally they're scared. Okay, is what is the standard of care? Because that's what we get judged by. The standard of care, plain and simple simply means what most doctors in your geographic area typically do. So it's really saying, hey, whatever everybody else is doing, no matter if it's doesn't make any sense, no matter if it's non scientific, If most doctors are doing it in your area, it becomes the standard of care.

39:07 So it's not what science proves its best. It's a legal concept, not a scientific one. That's why doctors are afraid. And I have this picture, it's like that caterpillar Liane story that I have is that we follow the leader, even if they're going to lead us off a cliff, and we just do what we have been taught that see one do one teach one is that if I see somebody else doing it, and if I see a lot of doctors drawing blood tests, and oh man, they're making money, they're giving these women hormones and they're coming back and so ah, now that's the standard of care. And now that I'm saying that scientifically it doesn't make sense. It makes other doctors afraid, and you have to have the courage, and you have to have the determination that you're going to find the truth and not take a shortcut and just do what everybody else is doing. So even when practice, when the medical practices are scientifically questionable, they become the norm if enough practitioners follow them. This creates powerful inertia against change regardless of the evidence. It's just like the vitamin C. I have all this evidence that vitamin C works, but the standard of care in oncology is to say it doesn't work, even though it's false.

40:26 Medical practice has changed slowly, often taking seventeen plus years for new evidence to become standard practice. This means many doctors continue using outdated methods long after better alternatives exists. And this is talking about after seventeen years. I've been trying to do this for thirty years, so it takes longer than seventeen years to do some of this stuff. So that I hope I don't sound too frustrated, but I hope you understand why I could be a little bit frustrated when I keep preaching this sermon, and when nobody comes up and gives their life to soliva testing, you know it's almost has to be a almost has to be divine intervention for docs to just look at something that is not the standard of care. And don't let someone lead you off a cliff because they have a title, or because they have a million followers on Instagram or whatever. Just don't be led off of a cliff just because everybody else is doing something. I think I have one more slide, So your health deserves better. Okay, trust your symptoms. If you feel harmonally and balanced despite normal blood tests results, your body is sending you a signal that your testing method isn't capturing your experience. Even though your experience is valid, the test is inadequate. Is nothing wrong with you, It's something wrong with the test.

41:52 So when you go in, don't don't let the doctor tell you it's all in your head or it couldn't be because of what you think it is is telling you, is giving you signals. You just have to be quiet enough and introspective enough to hear what your body is saying, choose better diagnostics. Saliva test and reveals what actually is happening in the tissue level where hormones create their effects. This insight leads to more precise treatment and better outcomes. I will tell you, I don't know if I've ever had a saliva test that hasn't matched a person's symptom. If I look at their female hormones and cortisol, it gives me a clear picture to me and to the patient what is going on with them. And that is so stress relieving for the patient. You know how stressful it is to go into the doctor and you feel awful and they tell you you're fine. How frustrating is that?

42:44 And when they come to me and I say, I see what your problem is. Here it is, here's how we fix it. It gets fixed. I show them to repeat test. The hormones are balance, they feel balanced. It is not a hard concept to understand. So I want you to take action today. Visit the link in the biome, the ASOS blueprint, my school, my school course. You can order saliva testing there. I have something called a Hormone Clarity course that you can take for free. It's free for right now, but it's about to be a subscription and you can you can do that today. What happens is if you order the test through Asles blueprint, I will send you the test kit you have to The prices will be on the link. I'll send you a test kit you'll do. You'll collect the samples, and I'll give you all the instructions. The instructions are in there.

43:37 You'll send it off. Two weeks later we get the results, I will look at your symptoms, We'll look at the saliva testing. I will send you a video review that tells you exactly what the what the saliva test means, what symptoms it's causing, how you can fix it, and then we can talk about doing a retest, or if you would like to go further, we can even do a more or a more intense consultation, or I can lead you to other resources in my school platform. But I am determined. I mean, I may do this lecture once a month until I can get enough people to understand this. I'm going to make this into a YouTube video.

44:19 I'm going to make it into Instagram shorts. I told you, I'm gonna make it into TikTok shorts. I told you I'm fighting fire with fire. When my patients came in and told me that all these people are on Instagram again. I'm not doing it out of jealousy. I'm doing it because I don't want you to do this follow somebody who's leading you off a cliff. Okay, so I'm going to I'm going to stop here. We got like two two, three more minutes left. Do we have any other questions, Rebel. No, they had a comment about when you said how it takes a long time to get things, you know, practice. Wise changed change a practice.

45:00 Yet they said except when it came to that, you know, COVID shot. Hey, because they were going to make money off of it. I tell people health care has nothing to do with health. Health care has to do with money. So don't be fooled when something doesn't make sense, follow the money. Okay. And just like I was talking about last week about vitamin C, the reason why doctors don't talk about vitamin C and cancer care is because there's no drug rep coming by telling them the benefits of vitamin C because they can't patent vitamin C. So they have no interest in anything they can't patent. And so that's why medicine is being led off of a cliff, because it's being led by the pharmaceutical companies is being led by the insurance companies, and that's who we are allowing to lead us.

45:52 I don't take insurance because I'm not going to let insurance dictate what I do for a patient. I'm not going to let them lead me off a cliff. Okay, I'm not going to let the pharmaceutical industry lead me off a cliff. I'm not going to let the standard of care lead me off a cliff. I'm not going to do it just because other doctors in my area are doing it. And so I told you I meant to get off my lawn stage in my life where I used to be quiet about this. I used to say things more nicely and hope I didn't offend anybody. But that time is over. That time is over, and I'm telling you patients that time is over for you guys. It really is. So I am. You know, maybe it's because I know the changes it made in my wife and in my relationships, and I even talk about I'm going to do a lecture on how your hormones affect relationships.

46:44 I did a substack on the increase in divorce in patients over in people over fifty, and I can't tell you how many patients have come in and said, I may not have gotten a divorce if i'd have had my harmone straight during this time when I thought I hated my husband, Maybe I did and hate him so much after all. Maybe it was my hormones. So I think I'm gonna do a I'm gonna do a TikTok video. It may not be your husband. It may be your hormones. So anyway, that's it for today, rebel. It may not be your husband, because I'll tell you my wife used to. I just say, my wife hated me for two weeks out of the month before I understood SALIVI attests. I couldn't understand it. Yeah, it wasn't it wasn't me, it was it was her hormones. And so yeah, so you like that title, rebel.

47:28 I do, I do a lot. Okay, may not be your husband. Okay, that's that's that's what I'll do. I'll do a video on that, all right, So hey, I'll see you guys next week. But please, hey, visit me think take some action. I mean, this information is no good if you don't do something with it. So please go to my school learn about your hormones. Take the Hormone Clarity Course. It's totally free. Come to my question and answers on Tuesday night. It's all in my school platform. So I'll see you next Wednesday.
