Hey, Hello, this is Benita bell Anderson and this is

18
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:09.280
the Ask Good Questions podcast, and boy, are we going

19
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.359
to ask some good questions today. I want to invite

20
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:18.200
my guest, doctor Eldred Taylor, to the proverbial podcast stage.

21
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.480
Hello, Hello, Hello, hello, Hello.

22
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:27.519
We are going to talk about waking brain, fog, advice,

23
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.560
and hormones. So before we get into all this stuff,

24
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.719
let's I would love to have you just say a

25
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.640
little bit about you and tell us, tell us a

26
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:40.680
little bit about your background and who you are.

27
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:45.560
Okay, all right, Well, I am doctor Eldred Taylor. I

28
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.280
was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, by a mother

29
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.120
and a father, and my father was a Baptist minister,

30
00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:03.000
so I grew up in a Christian background. Now, I

31
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.120
went to Vanderbilt University, I studied in blecular biology, and

32
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.599
then I went to Emory to medical school. So I'm

33
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:15.520
half spiritual, I'm half science, and so I've started to

34
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.120
marry those two. But anyway, I trained in obgyn and

35
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.639
practiced ob juyn like everybody else for about seven years

36
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:25.159
until my wife's.

37
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.759
Delivery nurse daughter. I have a daughter. One of my

38
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.439
daughters delivery nurse.

39
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.400
Yeah, so hey, I did that. I got up in

40
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.319
the middle of the night delivering babies. I did all

41
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.960
of that stuff. But what changed my life is that

42
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.039
my wife started having hormone issues and I did what

43
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.120
I was taught in school. You know, you give birth

44
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.159
control pills, you you know, just tell them to, hey,

45
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.039
suck it up, you know whatever, just give them birth

46
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.439
control pills. And I saw that that didn't work, and

47
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:55.319
I was wondering why I didn't work. And I had

48
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.680
a patient that came in that said, doctor Taylor, do

49
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.759
you know anything about natural hormones? And I'm like, nah,

50
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.439
I don't know anything about that, And if I don't

51
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.840
know anything about it, it must not be that important. But

52
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.319
she happened to give me a cassette tape. That's how

53
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.280
long ago it was. It was about twenty five thirty

54
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.759
years ago. Gave me a cassette tape, and I was

55
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:17.840
really too proud to listen to it, but my wife

56
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.520
listened to it and said, I think this guy is

57
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.680
talking about me. The next day I listened to it,

58
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.400
and from then on my life changed. He taught me

59
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.719
what I didn't learn in medical school is how actually

60
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.319
hormones work in a woman. Now, you say that's crazy.

61
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:36.840
How could you go to a residency at Emory and

62
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.000
not learn how hormones work? Well, it's because we are

63
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.759
focused on pharmacology and not physiology. So they told me

64
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:46.759
how to give birth control pills. They told me how

65
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.479
to cut out uteruses. They taught me how to give

66
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:54.919
permanent provera, but no one actually clinically looked at how

67
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:59.599
do you measure and balance hormones? And so I became

68
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.199
very interested in that, and I found out that the

69
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.599
way you mentioned hormones is through saliva, and I'll talk

70
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:08.280
about that in one of those five mistakes. And the

71
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.039
funny thing is, Benita, is that I went through a

72
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.800
four year residency and we never ever, never, ever, ever,

73
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:20.480
never drew blood levels to look at hormones. We just didn't.

74
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:24.040
And the reason why is that the textbook says, and

75
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.560
I have a lecture about this, that looking at hormones

76
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:32.319
in the serum gives you little to no clinical information,

77
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:34.720
so it really doesn't tell you anything. And I can

78
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.319
talk about that a little bit later when I talk

79
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:40.920
about those mistakes. But understanding measuring and balancing hormones through

80
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.000
saliva changed the course of my life, changed the course

81
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.680
of my career. It caused us to write these two books,

82
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.120
Are Your Hormones Making You Sick? And The Stress Connection.

83
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:57.000
And now I was telling you earlier that I went

84
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.920
around the country promoting these books and talking to pay

85
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.839
and lay people, I mean patients and physicians, and that

86
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.120
wore me out after a while, and so now I'm

87
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.839
trying to do this a different way through social media,

88
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.240
through podcasts, And I appreciate the invitation because this is

89
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.800
another opportunity for me not to have to get on

90
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:19.600
a plane and go on the conference and.

91
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.680
Go talk to people because where are you.

92
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.240
I'm in Atlanta, Georgia, in.

93
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:29.000
Atlanta, Georgia, and i am all the way over on

94
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.199
WAHUU because I'm starting to mission here with my husband,

95
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:36.120
but I'm also continuing to do my stuff because you

96
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:37.319
can right.

97
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.879
Exactly, you know. Yeah, my goal was to expand my

98
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.920
information outside of my office in Atlanta. I would have

99
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:47.959
patients come in and say, oh, my sister needs to

100
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.120
hear this, and I'm like, okay, let me figure out

101
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.639
a way where I can reach people and I can

102
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.279
still sit in my house or I can be wherever

103
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.040
and I can still can yeah kind of carry out

104
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.319
My purpose is to try and spread this information.

105
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:07.680
So, so, okay, so you basically covered what you were

106
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:11.040
taught in medical school or what you were not taught

107
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:16.120
about measuring women's So let me just go on to

108
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:23.000
then women are told that weight gain after forty is normal.

109
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.600
That's exactly what I was told and is like, oh,

110
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.560
you're just getting older. Nothing you can do about it.

111
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.079
So why is that narrative misleading?

112
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.920
Okay, so let's start from the beginning. I always like

113
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:40.160
to start with the basics, all right, there, So the

114
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:47.240
basics are women. The lifespan of a woman is greatly

115
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:53.279
influenced by their minstal cycle. Okay, the mistal cycle. Puberty

116
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.560
is when your mistal cycle is trying to regulate itself.

117
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.079
It's trying to get in a rhythm astrogen and progesterone,

118
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.879
and so whenever you're transitioning into one phase of life,

119
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:11.319
there's always turbulent. So here's what happens. Estrogen comes around

120
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.879
every month to regrow tissue so that you can prepare

121
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.000
for a pregnancy. All right, Then you have to ovulate,

122
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.759
and when you ovulate, you make an egg. And then

123
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.959
there's this other little cis color corpus lutium. That's not important,

124
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:30.199
but it makes progesterone. So estrogen causes growth and progesterone

125
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.560
causes development. It helps that tissue to develop normally, and

126
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.800
fourteen days after ovulation, you should either be pregnant or

127
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:41.519
you should have a period. Fourteen days after ovulation, Okay,

128
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:46.759
so now during your reproductive years, estrogen and progesterone have

129
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:51.639
to be in balance. Estrogen causes growth, progesterone causes development. Now,

130
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:57.000
progesterone also is an antidepressant anti anxiety harmone, so if

131
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.560
you don't have enough of that two weeks before your period,

132
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:04.680
you can become anxious and depressed. And also, progesterone helps

133
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.680
you to burn fat for energy, and estrogen makes you

134
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.120
store fat. So the reason why you gain a little weight,

135
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.040
you can't gain a little weight and in the second

136
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.519
half of your cycle is that if there's more estrogen

137
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.000
there than progesterone, you're not burning off that fat as

138
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.800
quickly as it being stored. Now, after forty here's what happens.

139
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.959
You begin to ovulate irregularly. Your eggs that you have

140
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.039
at forty and beyond are the same eggs you had

141
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.840
when you were born, so forty year old eggs don't

142
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.279
ovulate as well as twenty year old eggs. What happens

143
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.919
is you make estrogen and you may or may not ovulate,

144
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.039
And even if you don't ovulate, you don't make enough

145
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.000
progesterone that egg doesn't make as much. So at perimental

146
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.519
pause you ovulate less, but you're trying to ovulate, so

147
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:59.879
you're making more cysts, so you're making more estrogen that

148
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.720
causes you to store fat. You're making less progesterone that's

149
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:08.559
causing you to burn fat. At menopauls, you stop ovulating

150
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.759
all together. But God made it where you still can

151
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.679
make estrogen, and he gives women an extra fat tissue

152
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:20.600
because in fat tissue you can convert andestin diona testosterone

153
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.159
to estrogen. So even though you're post menopausal, even if

154
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.440
you've had a hysterectomy and they remove your ovaries, women

155
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.799
still can make fat tissue, and that fat tissue can

156
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.960
still make estrogen, and then estrogen makes you make more

157
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:38.120
fat tissue. So now you're in this vicious cycle. And yes,

158
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.240
I see women all the time who say, hey, look

159
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.360
I eat like a bird and I do CrossFit nine

160
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.799
days a week, and I don't lose any weight in

161
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:53.799
this vicious cycle. Yep. And this number one mistake that

162
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:58.519
women make is they think that the solution is more estrogen.

163
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.399
They don't really that their problem is that they're already

164
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.679
making estrogen. And the reason why they don't realize that

165
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:10.799
is that the blood only registers what estrogen is coming

166
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:14.919
from the ovary. So now you have stopped ovulating your

167
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:18.960
ovary at menopause, you're overary just stops doing anything. So

168
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.240
it's not measuring the estrogen that is coming from your

169
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.240
fat tissue. Okay, so it looks like in the blood

170
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:28.120
you have no estrogen, and then they give you estrogen

171
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.519
and then you begin to gain weight, and then they say,

172
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.799
I don't understand why, because your estrogen levels are still lower.

173
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:40.039
They're normal. Blood is not a reliable measure of any

174
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.639
female are male hormones? That's let me just cut to

175
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:47.559
the chase. The blood tells you nothing. And if anyone

176
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.600
is following your harmones through the blood, I will debate

177
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.519
them at any time and show them the physiology and

178
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:59.039
the textbook that says that they are not getting good information.

179
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.279
So if if the doctors aren't getting good information, then

180
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:06.120
the patients aren't going to get good information. And so

181
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:08.320
that's why I say, you want to go back to

182
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.159
the basics where it's not my opinion, it's not another

183
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.240
doctor's opinion. It is how hormones work, and it's just

184
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:16.080
plain and simple.

185
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.559
So well, then we hear a lot about cortisol too,

186
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:23.200
because you're talking about. So far, you've talked about estrogen

187
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:31.840
and progesterone, but why is cortisol important?

188
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:34.679
Okay, so let me tell you how I figured that out.

189
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:36.639
I figured it out the hard way. You know, I

190
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:39.639
thought I was a genius by understanding you know, estrogen

191
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.919
and progesterone. But then about twenty twenty five percent of

192
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:46.279
those patients would still say I'm still having trouble sleeping,

193
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.240
or I'm still tired, or I'm still gaining weight. And

194
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:55.279
then we we begin to understand how important cortisol is.

195
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.559
And we actually wrote a book called the Stress Connection.

196
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:02.000
Is that stress is connected every organ in your body.

197
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.000
And what happens is is that your body is made

198
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.840
for sudden stressors like I'm being attacked by a tiger.

199
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.799
Are you know a robber is coming trying to rob me?

200
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.720
And so in that acute stress response, you have one

201
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.039
or two options. You're either going to escape or you're not.

202
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:23.840
If you escape, then once the threat is over, you say,

203
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.960
you know, I dodge that bullet. Are you're going to

204
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:29.759
get caught by the robber and killed? Are you going

205
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.919
to get eaten by the tiger? Either way, the quarter's

206
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.879
all response is short lived. Okay, Now our problem is

207
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.159
we don't have tigers, you know, and hopefully we're not

208
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:45.240
getting robbed. But we are constantly in a stress state.

209
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.639
And that's what I learned in Joe Despenza. We get

210
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:51.879
addicted to the hormones of stress, so we think being

211
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.200
busy or excitement, are having ten things to do, multitasking.

212
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.200
We think all of that is productive, but really is

213
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.240
putting us in a stress state. And then you add

214
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.639
on the stress of a family, the stress of aging parents,

215
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.480
the stress of children and financial issues, going to college,

216
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:15.120
the stress of eating bad foods, are working too late,

217
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:19.240
or whatever. All of those stressors build up, and initially

218
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.519
quartosoll goes up so you have the energy to do

219
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.639
it because quarters are mobilizes glucose, so that you have

220
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:26.919
energy to go through the day. It should be high

221
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.200
in the morning and low at night. But when it's

222
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:34.440
constantly high, you get anxious, your brain gets scattered, you

223
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.480
get the brain fog, and then when you recover or

224
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.440
when the stress is finally over, you usually don't go

225
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:44.200
back to normal. You end up actually burning out where

226
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:48.879
you have no energy. Question for you, Okay, yes, so.

227
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:53.879
Are you saying that? Well, I noticed I was. I

228
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.960
went through a terrible divorce about twenty five years ago.

229
00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.200
A cute stress yep.

230
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.120
So was also when I started to notice I was

231
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:05.559
getting weight and I never had a weight problem before.

232
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:06.960
Are you saying there's a connection.

233
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:12.559
Yeah, that's what we call the books stress Connections. Yeah,

234
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:16.399
you know, I will I talk to patients. And there's

235
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:19.799
a study that says seventy five to ninety percent and

236
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:21.919
this is a study twenty twenty five years ago when

237
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:25.799
I first wrote that book. It says that seventy five

238
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:32.279
to ninety percent of all visits to primary care physicians

239
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:37.240
are for stress related complaints of disorders. So almost everything

240
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:42.879
that a doctor sees a patient complaining of has something

241
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:46.600
to do with stress. And I've actually said that it

242
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.240
takes twenty minutes for me to talk to a patient,

243
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.679
a new patient, for them to tell me what's really

244
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.399
going on with them. And I will tell you another thing.

245
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:59.320
I see patients, especially patients with breast cancer, and I

246
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:03.279
will tell you almost to the person that two years

247
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:08.000
prior to them developing breast cancer, being diagnosed with breast cancer,

248
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:12.240
that they had some significant stressor, or they had a

249
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.720
combination of stressors that happened over the course of two

250
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.360
to three years, and two years later they have some

251
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.480
type of cancer. And just because I see a lot

252
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.399
of women, it's primarily breast cancer. So yeah, stress can

253
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.320
call it. I always say stress can kill you. And

254
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:30.759
and you were talking about I went to Joe de

255
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.840
Spenser and that's that's really what he's talking about, is

256
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.639
getting people out of this stress response and getting them

257
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.519
to quiet their minds so their body can actually heal.

258
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.960
Wow. Well, so then there's another one that I think

259
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.320
people are very confused about, and that's women and testosterone.

260
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.480
Women start needing. Women started.

261
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:56.399
Let me ask you that, does that make Does that

262
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:57.200
make sense to you?

263
00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:58.200
Yeah?

264
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.679
All of a sudden, Yeah, then all the sudden, now

265
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.320
that you're forty five fifty years old, now all of

266
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.559
a sudden, you need testosterone. So here's what's happening. Women

267
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.559
are coming in and they're saying their hormones are out

268
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.080
of way, and people who don't understand what they're doing,

269
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.759
they draw their blood and they'll draw their blood and

270
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.279
they say, oh my god, you're not making any hormones.

271
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.159
You're not making anything. We have to give you everything.

272
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:28.440
Are ovary is not making any hormone. Okay, she's making

273
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.919
hormones in her adrenal glands. She's making hormones in her

274
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:35.440
fat tissue. So what's happening is the patient comes in

275
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:39.120
and say they're fatigued. The reason why they're fatigued is

276
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:43.960
the cortisol. But because they're not measuring chrtisol, they're giving

277
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:49.240
them testosterone for energy. Testosterone is a male hormone. Now,

278
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.840
if a man comes in and says they have lo libido,

279
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:56.559
they have low testosteronal proven otherwise, no doubt about it. Women,

280
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.440
they need their estrogen and progesterone to be in badlence

281
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.279
to have a libido. They need to feel good to

282
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.680
have a libido. You can give a woman testosterone, thinking's

283
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.640
going to raise the libido. In some women it will,

284
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.640
but in most women it's going to cause acne. It's

285
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.400
going to cause their hair to the end. It's going

286
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:18.920
to cause them to grow hair where they don't want it,

287
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.799
and it will also cause them to be aggressive. Okay,

288
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.079
I had a patient who was being seen by another

289
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.039
doc and he kept saying she wasn't absorbing her testosterone.

290
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.039
She came to me because her husband was afraid that

291
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.519
she was going to hurt him. She was so aggressive. Okay.

292
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:40.680
The other thing is she was originally a soprano in

293
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:44.160
her church choir. She had to move to alto, and

294
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.160
they were about to move her to the tenor section

295
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.920
until she finally came to see me. Now, a normal

296
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:54.519
salivary testosterone and a woman should be between like twenty

297
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:55.039
for roo.

298
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.079
So is that what you're saying, I'm going to stop you.

299
00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:58.960
Is that how you're measuring it?

300
00:17:59.000 --> 00:17:59.160
Then?

301
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.960
Is saliva always?

302
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:02.200
Okay?

303
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:03.720
Okay, we're gonna see that.

304
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.200
I would wait much better do that than I poke

305
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:07.519
in my.

306
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.559
Arm with the meal, especially if it doesn't mean anything. Right,

307
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.000
So I drew her saliva level, where normal is like

308
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.680
between nine and forty. Hers was seven thousand, and it

309
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.720
took almost two years for that testosterone level to come down.

310
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:27.480
So yeah, so let's talk about how you measure hormones.

311
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:32.119
You measure hormones in saliva. And this is not something

312
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:35.119
new wave that's been around since nineteen sixty. I was

313
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:38.599
born in nineteen sixty. Okay, so it's been around that long.

314
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:42.200
Now the reason why you measure it in saliva? So

315
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:46.359
how much time we get? But let me tell you,

316
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:51.000
all right, so this all right, So this is the

317
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.400
best way I can describe this. All right. So hormones

318
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:57.559
are made from cholesterol, so they're fat soluble, all right.

319
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:01.640
Your blood is water soluble. You can see it looks watery.

320
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:05.119
So all in water don't mix. So if the hormones

321
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:09.960
were transported around unprotected in the blood, they would they

322
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.319
would precipitate out and they wouldn't go anywhere. Right. So

323
00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:17.440
there's a protein called sex hormone binding glibulin, and I

324
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:21.160
like to I like to say that it's a FedEx truck. Okay,

325
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:24.880
So the hormones are going around in a FedEx truck.

326
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:29.480
The blood is measuring the FedEx trucks and the amount

327
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.519
of hormone in all of the trucks. Okay. Now what

328
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.480
happens is is that you don't care how many FedEx

329
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:40.839
trucks are running around in the city. You only care

330
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.960
about how many packages come to your house. You can

331
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.599
bring it into your house and you can use it. Yeah, exactly,

332
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:50.480
all right. So the saliva gland is one of the

333
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:54.920
places where the hormone is delivered and actually used. The

334
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.119
hormone has to come out of the blood. The blood

335
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:01.680
is like a highway system. It's a transportationation system getting places,

336
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.759
getting things from one place to the other. But the

337
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:08.640
work is done inside the cell, and the hormone can

338
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:10.680
be delivered to the cell and it can stay there

339
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:13.160
for days. I told you that woman who has seven

340
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:15.720
thousand it took two years for what to all go away.

341
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:22.200
So let's say the Fatex truck is delivering five boxes

342
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.119
of estra in a day. Okay, now you only use

343
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.319
two a day, all right, but you keep getting five

344
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:33.839
a day. The blood is only measuring the FedEx trucks.

345
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:37.319
It's not measuring how much harmone is stored away in

346
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:41.960
your cells, affecting your weight, your breast, your brain, all

347
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:46.519
of that. So you want to measure the number of packages. Now,

348
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:51.200
in the saliva, it's fat tissue around the saliva gland.

349
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:54.240
There's one of the places where fat soluble hormones get delivered,

350
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:58.599
and the saliva is an equilibrium with those fat cells.

351
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.079
So if I know what the normal balance is between

352
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:05.079
estrogen and progesterone and the saliva, and I get it

353
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:08.480
to that point, I should be able to assume that

354
00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:10.759
it's at the normal level in the brain and in

355
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:13.359
the breast, and then the uterus and all that and

356
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.680
clinically that has proven to be true, and I've been

357
00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:21.119
doing that for thirty years, and it clinically gives me

358
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:25.200
information that I can actually use, and I can monitor it,

359
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:28.319
and I can know that I'm not overdosing my patient.

360
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:31.920
And I can also look at the estrogen that's coming

361
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:35.519
from all sources, coming from your fat tissue, the estrogen

362
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:38.599
that you may be getting exposed through through creams that

363
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:41.559
your facial creams, estrogen that you may be getting exposed

364
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.319
through through the meat that you eat. So now I

365
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:47.519
get a more comprehensive picture of how much estrogen you're

366
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:51.400
exposed to, and now I can match that with progesterone.

367
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.319
Only about twenty percent of my patients are on estrogen,

368
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:58.720
and those patients are usually thin women who don't have

369
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:01.640
a lot of fat tissue, so they're not creating their

370
00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:04.640
own estrogen. But most women, all I have to do

371
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.480
is see how much estrogen they're making and give them

372
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:10.640
enough for gester on to balance it out, and most,

373
00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:13.400
if not all, of their symptoms go away. The only

374
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.400
time it doesn't is that if cortisol is involved, and

375
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:19.480
then there's ways we can normalize cortisols so that your

376
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:22.200
system is running like it's opposed to.

377
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.440
Wow. Okay, I mean so, I mean, let's let's move

378
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:30.920
on here, because I think yeahest thing that I want

379
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:35.960
people to know is you can measure this accurately. Okay, yes,

380
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:41.519
So what are some common symptoms for a bill that

381
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:46.200
women often overlook or maybe misafter you know, maybe they

382
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:48.799
think it's something else. What what do you think? What

383
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:49.200
do you think?

384
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:53.279
They're usually the number one complaint of women over forty.

385
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.039
The first thing they will notice is that their sleep

386
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.759
gets disrupted. They have trouble falling asleep, or either they

387
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:01.480
wake up at two or three o'clock in the morning

388
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.119
and they can't go back to sleep. So a lot

389
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:06.039
of times they will have suffered with that for a

390
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:09.119
while and just say, Okay, I just can't sleep. But

391
00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:12.920
that is due to lack of progesterone. Progesterone and it

392
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:16.960
can be metabolized into something called alopregnanolone long name, but

393
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:21.359
it acts like gabba, so it calms the brain down. Okay,

394
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:24.880
So if you start to lose progesterone as you get older,

395
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:29.400
then it's difficult for your brain to calm down. Patients

396
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:33.440
will say, I can't turn my brain off. That's usually

397
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.759
the initial sign. Then from that they become fatigued because

398
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:41.960
they're not sleeping, and then because they're in their forties,

399
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:47.759
they begin two things happen. Cortisol seems to naturally do

400
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:51.200
this kind of go down during the day and goes

401
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:54.160
up at night. A lot of times when you have

402
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:56.319
a high nighttime cortisol, that wakes you up at two

403
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:58.559
or three o'clock in the morning. So if you have

404
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:01.640
low progesterone, you have trouble going to sleep, and if

405
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:03.039
you do go to sleep, you can wake up at

406
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:04.599
two or three o'clock in the morning because your quota

407
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:07.680
is al is elevated. And then the third thing is weightgate.

408
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:12.200
So those are the three things that patients think is normal,

409
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.319
but it's really an early sign that they have a

410
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:16.279
hardmone problem.

411
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:21.359
So when when should women? I mean, so we're obviously

412
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:23.720
we're going to have You're going to have your own outlets,

413
00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:26.440
but I'm also going to be letting people know where

414
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:32.559
to find you. But I'm betting that you're going to

415
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:35.640
probably say that the first line of defense then is

416
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:38.640
once you're become aware of this information, is to then

417
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:40.000
go get tested.

418
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:43.319
Exactly and you're going to have. You might have a

419
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:46.880
hard time finding somebody who's going to do saliva testing.

420
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:50.000
There may be some in your area. Again, I spent

421
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:53.519
like ten years going around the country and even to

422
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:58.519
countries like Australia and continents like Australia and speaking about this,

423
00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:01.240
trying to educate doc few docs who are around there.

424
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:05.839
I'm trying to expand my reach because you know, some

425
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:10.480
this needs to be widespread. You know, I can't see everybody.

426
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:13.319
I'm not trying to see everybody, And I just try

427
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:17.599
to educate women about their own physiology because when they

428
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:22.240
start demanding something, that's when doctors listen. If you start

429
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:27.279
demanding salvary testing somehow, if they're a decent dot, they're

430
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.359
going to try and investigate it, and if they investigate it,

431
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.920
they will see the validity of it. So I'm really

432
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:39.000
trying to educate lay people because you know, hopefully doctors

433
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:42.559
will listen to you. But yeah, so, yeah, I think

434
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:43.440
you need to get tested.

435
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:43.599
Now.

436
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:47.359
I'm talking about women over forty, but there's all kinds

437
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:51.279
of problems you can have prior to forty, pms, pcos,

438
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:54.720
irregular bleeding, all of that we just covered up. I

439
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:57.240
was taught to cover it up with birth control pills

440
00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:00.400
and so whatever. If a patient comes in they were

441
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:02.799
less than forty, you got a birth control pil no

442
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:05.200
matter what your problem was. And I used to call

443
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:09.200
that gynecology made simple, is that if they're less than forty,

444
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:11.799
you give them birth control pills. If that doesn't work,

445
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:14.440
you give them an ad apressant. Then if that doesn't work,

446
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.240
you cut out the uterus. And it sounds crazy, but

447
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.359
ask women, isn't that usually the progression of things that

448
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:25.880
happen to them? Yeah?

449
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:27.480
Well, are there?

450
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:29.079
Go ahead?

451
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:32.599
Well I'm just okay, we could be like three or

452
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:36.400
four hours, couldn't we on this? Where I want to

453
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:41.240
go next is are there natural or lifestyle changes that

454
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:44.960
you feel that women can I mean, okay, so let's

455
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.000
say they're going to go get tested, they're going to

456
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:49.920
do slava testing. They're going to start figuring this out

457
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:54.640
by getting some slava testing done. Yeah, what about lifestyle changes?

458
00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:58.720
Can women do something to help with hormonal balance with

459
00:26:58.799 --> 00:26:59.720
lifestyle changes?

460
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.759
Sure? You know, you have to think that probably seventy

461
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.079
five percent of the world, they don't go through all

462
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:12.640
of these changes that women do in industrialized countries Okay.

463
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:16.039
You know why, because they eat what they grow in

464
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:19.160
their background. You know, they're in their backyard, in the

465
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:23.279
ground in their backyard. So they're eating organic. Okay, they're

466
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:29.400
not getting pesticides, and pesticides are can be very potent estrogens. Okay,

467
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.799
so you need to not you need to eat organic

468
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.559
because because most of those pesticides are trying to disrupt

469
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:41.240
the reproductive cycle of the insect, and those same chemicals

470
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:46.039
can disrupt your reproductive cycle. So you want to eat organic.

471
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:51.519
You want to avoid meat if they're not farm raised

472
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:55.559
and no antibiotics. You want to know what they've been fed.

473
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.000
You want to so because there's estrogen in those meats,

474
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.400
they put estrogen in them so that they will grow bigger.

475
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:06.240
So the breast on the chicken will be bigger because

476
00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:09.839
estrogen makes tissue grow, right, So those are the things

477
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:13.559
so you can lose weight because remember fat tissue makes estrogen.

478
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:16.599
The other thing that women need to do is you

479
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:21.200
need to have bio movements. The reason why is that

480
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:25.079
estrogen is excreted through the bow. If you don't have

481
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:28.920
a bowel movement, that estrogen that should have been delivered

482
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:33.079
out of you can get recirculated. And I can tell

483
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:35.359
you this. I see so many women who think it's

484
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:38.599
normal to have a bio movement two to three times

485
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:41.200
a week. You should be having a bower movement two

486
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.440
to three times a day. Okay. So adding more fiber

487
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:49.480
in your diet can help you to decrease your estrogen levels.

488
00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:53.079
And then there's a supplement called Chase berries. We have

489
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:55.480
a product that has it in there, and Chase berries

490
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:59.559
can increase your own natural production of progesterone. So the

491
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:03.400
life else changes you can do is eat organic if

492
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:06.480
you're going to eat meat. And I'm really a I'm

493
00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:08.839
really an advocate for a plant based diet and we

494
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:11.319
can talk about that some other than but I don't

495
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:14.359
want to be a plant based organic snob and acting

496
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:16.960
like that's the only thing you can do. But if

497
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.359
you could, if you could decrease the amount of meat

498
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:23.359
you consume, it would help you. And then like more

499
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:26.759
fiber when you eat fruit, you know, eat the whole

500
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:31.160
peel of the fruit. Probiotics is another one. Probiotics helps

501
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:35.640
you to metabolize estrogen your gut. It needs to metabolize

502
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:39.880
it properly and metabolize it into a safe pathway, so

503
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:43.319
it doesn't increase your risk of cancer or other hormone

504
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:44.359
related problems.

505
00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:49.599
Wow, okay, so let's talk about it. You were mentioning

506
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:52.680
diet a little bit. What about these popular diets like

507
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:58.400
keto or intermittent fasting or do you think they're effective

508
00:29:58.759 --> 00:30:01.119
or harmful for health?

509
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:07.359
You know, what I've been reading information about intermittent fasting

510
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:11.559
is better for men than for women, is that women

511
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.839
really don't benefit from intermittent fasting like men do. And

512
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:17.759
I found that in a lot of weight loss things.

513
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:24.880
Now I've done keto, I've done every diet there demand,

514
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:27.839
and I will tell you what I'm most comfortable with

515
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:30.519
now and what I've been able to maintain the longest

516
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:34.279
is a plant based diet. I've gotten to the point

517
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:39.200
where if I see a piece of steak, it doesn't

518
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.720
I don't long for it, I don't miss it. I

519
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:46.160
really enjoy eating a plant based diet.

520
00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:47.000
Dude.

521
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:49.319
I every once in a while, I'll eat them wild

522
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:53.240
caught salmon because I go to the gym regularly and

523
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:55.839
he kind of fusses at me and making sure I

524
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:59.599
eat enough protein. So I will eat salmon sometimes if

525
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.519
I'm out and there's not a lot of vegetarian choices.

526
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:06.759
I'll eat some type of fish, but I don't eat steak,

527
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:11.079
I don't eat chicken anymore. And it makes me feel good.

528
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:14.359
I don't have any problems with constipation. I don't have

529
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:18.680
to worry about weight gain. My weight stays stable. I

530
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:20.839
feel energetic. You know a lot of times after you

531
00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:23.759
eat meat, you feel sleepy. I can eat and I

532
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:27.279
still have a lot of energy. So that's my personal

533
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:31.359
preference for me. That was that's the easiest to stay on.

534
00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:34.160
But you know, a lot of these other diets that

535
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.440
are so strict it's very hard to stay on it

536
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.799
long term. This kind of gives me some freedom. And

537
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:44.880
uh and and it's just I've been I've probably been

538
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:47.480
plant based for about three years now.

539
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:51.720
Yeah, I mean it's it's more like a lifestyle. Well, okay,

540
00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:53.519
so let's I want to I want to you know,

541
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.720
kind of move into let's let's think about how we

542
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.640
can empower people that are listening to this. Yeah, how

543
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:07.839
can understanding hormones help women reclaim clarity for energy and

544
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:12.240
confidence as they age instead of getting too pressed about it?

545
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:17.519
How can understanding hormones empower people?

546
00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:23.400
Well, because hormones affect everything. I mean, they affect your biology,

547
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:26.960
they affect your mental attitude, and I just try and

548
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.799
get if you know, I tell patients fifty percent of

549
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:33.559
my job is getting you to understand what is going

550
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:37.400
on with you. And once you understand it, then you

551
00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:41.279
can almost intuitively figure out what you need to do.

552
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:46.599
And so so here's the basics. You have to measure

553
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:50.680
estrogen and progesterone in saliva. That's the only way you can.

554
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.000
I won't say it's the only way. That is the

555
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:56.039
best and easiest way for you to measure it. Once

556
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.359
you see something as out of balance, and I can

557
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:03.799
show you the if the estrogen progesterone should be two

558
00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:06.359
hundred times whatever your estrogen is. So if your estrogen

559
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:11.039
is one and your progesterone is one hundred, then you

560
00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:14.319
have to bring that progesterone level up to two hundred

561
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:16.839
for it to be back in balance. It's simple math.

562
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:19.319
I can show the patient and they can see it. Okay,

563
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:21.359
I could get I could get one of my patients

564
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:23.839
on here and they could explain saliva testing to you

565
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:30.359
just like that. And that's the key is women. Men

566
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:33.599
think that you're complicated and you are, but your mistra

567
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:38.000
cycle I can understand. That's the one thing I can

568
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:42.000
understand about a woman is estrogen and progester So this

569
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.559
is how you empower yourself. Either demand that your doctor

570
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:49.039
find out about saliva testing or go to another doctor,

571
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.039
or you can go come to me at My school

572
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:57.039
group is www dot school dot com forward slash ageless,

573
00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:59.319
and there I have a free course and I try

574
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:02.559
and teach women about their hormones and the importance of it.

575
00:34:02.599 --> 00:34:05.920
And that's a free membership. If you want to know

576
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.840
dev deeper, then we can go there, but that's free.

577
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:11.880
So that's my whole goal is to empower women. So

578
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:15.280
they walk into a doctor's office and they know exactly

579
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:18.480
how their body works, and if that doctor tells them

580
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:22.800
something that doesn't coincide with what they know, then they

581
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:26.719
know that they need to find another doctor. And one

582
00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:28.519
reason why I did this is because I would see

583
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:32.199
patients and then I would get them all regulate everything

584
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:34.719
was fine, and because they were feeling good, they said, oh,

585
00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:37.360
I'll go to my regular doctor now, and somehow they

586
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:40.119
would forget what I told them. The regular doctor would

587
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:42.239
put them on some other regimen. Then they would come

588
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:44.920
to me and say, oh, I went to this other doctor.

589
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:47.079
Now I need you to fix me again. And I

590
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:49.079
was like, why did you? I was like, why didn't

591
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:51.679
you leave? And so I said, I'm going to have

592
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:55.400
something online so that they can go back and look

593
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:58.119
at this and say, oh, yeah, that doctor said this,

594
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:01.599
but I know this. I'm going to disregard this because

595
00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:05.559
this is what I know. And so that's my empowerment.

596
00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:10.440
You're yeah, I mean, you're you're preaching to the choir here.

597
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:13.800
As far as I feel like I've done a whole lot,

598
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:16.000
I've got some weight I would like to lose, but

599
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:18.920
I can't. It just doesn't seem no matter what I do,

600
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.280
and I feel like I live. You know, I'm kind

601
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:24.840
of on this plant based thing and exercise and everything.

602
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:30.360
But you know, if if someone is feeling defeated because

603
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:33.000
oh I'm just gonna give up, I'm never going to

604
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:35.159
be able to lose that, or I have brain fog,

605
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:40.599
I think that it's it's almost like they need to

606
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:42.679
have a paradigm shift, don't you think.

607
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:47.960
Yeah, Yeah, And again, you gotta stop feeling like a victim.

608
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:51.480
You've got to take your power back, and you need

609
00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:54.119
to understand your doctor and I tell my patients that

610
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:59.199
your doctor is an advisor. He's not king of your body.

611
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.880
So I tell patients, if I tell you something and

612
00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:05.559
you don't feel good about it, then please don't do it.

613
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:08.840
Either ask me more questions, or just don't do it.

614
00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:10.880
And I would like for you to do the same

615
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:14.639
thing with any doctor that you go to if you

616
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:19.199
don't feel good about it. And I've kind of, you know,

617
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:22.840
going through this Joe dispens and stuff. I have coined

618
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:26.039
myself as a spiritual MD, and I'm like, if your

619
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:29.960
spirit tells you that it's not right, then please don't

620
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:32.960
do it. Don't go against that gut feeling. And women

621
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:36.719
especially have that intuition, and you need to listen to

622
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:40.159
that intuition. Twenty four to seven. And I don't care

623
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:43.159
how many degrees that guy has on his wall. I

624
00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:46.599
don't care how many chairmans of departments he you know,

625
00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:51.280
he can claim if it does not coincide with basic physiology,

626
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:54.960
I don't care who. I don't care what credentials he has.

627
00:36:55.400 --> 00:37:01.840
He's going against physiology and truth trumps authority, Okay, I

628
00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:05.360
don't care how authoritative. If he says he can't take

629
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:07.320
care of you if you don't listen to him, then

630
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:09.599
you say, you're right, you cannot take care of me

631
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:13.039
because I'm not gonna do it just because you said

632
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:14.719
do it right.

633
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:19.519
Well, do you think there's any So let's talk a

634
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:21.480
little bit about some of the myths that might be

635
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:27.159
out there. What about are there any risks with hormone

636
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:29.840
replacement therapy, you know, if that's one of the things

637
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:31.519
that the doctor is telling her to do.

638
00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:37.800
Yeah, hormone replacement that is managed and monitored inappropriately is

639
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:42.519
very dangerous. Okay. I have a lecturer. I have a

640
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:47.599
little video about how this patient doctor kept giving her

641
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:50.960
estrogen and saying she wasn't absorbing it. She came to

642
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:53.679
me or estrum was like five times normal, and I

643
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:56.480
told her because they were looking at a mammogram or something,

644
00:37:56.519 --> 00:37:58.840
saying that her breast was fine, but she kept feeling something.

645
00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:01.280
I was like, with your estrogen that high, you need

646
00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:04.400
to demand that you get an MRI. She got an MRI.

647
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:07.079
She had breast cancer, she had to have a double mestectomy.

648
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:10.760
But this guy was pumping her with estrogen. So yes,

649
00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:15.400
if you don't monitor it and measure it appropriately, it's

650
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:19.519
very dangerous. Okay, But if you measure it, if you

651
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:23.000
monitor it and measure it appropriately, and you maintain that

652
00:38:23.159 --> 00:38:27.679
growth and development balance, then no, I don't believe there's

653
00:38:27.679 --> 00:38:30.920
any side effects from it. Whenever I can put you

654
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:34.960
back into balance, you're gonna better. You're going to benefit

655
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:39.079
from it in more ways than one. Okay, the key

656
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:44.320
to life, the key to health is balanced and estrogen

657
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:47.039
and progesterone need to be in balance, and they need

658
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:50.159
to be in balance in the tissue, not in the blood.

659
00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:54.639
And so yes, so you know, water can be very

660
00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:57.519
dangerous to you if you have too if you have

661
00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:00.920
too much of it. Anything can be danger risk if

662
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:05.719
you don't utilize it properly. So yes, yes, I'm a

663
00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:09.000
big advocate. And I never give estrogen to a patient

664
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:12.559
unless they're saliva says that they're lowering estrogen. And when

665
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:14.840
you do that, you will find out that there's very

666
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:18.079
few people who are lower estrogen. And I can show

667
00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:21.599
you the people. If you show me a woman that

668
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:27.000
is ten percent below her ideal body weight, she doesn't

669
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:31.000
have enough estrogen. Most of these athletes that you see,

670
00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:34.679
these WNBA athletes, they're not having periods because they don't

671
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:37.840
have enough fat tissue for them to have estrogen, and

672
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:41.039
the stress of that sport is turning their ovaries off.

673
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:44.800
So a lot of them are almost they behave They

674
00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:49.760
have the harmon levels of a menopause a woman because

675
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:54.400
they have no fat and the stress of working out

676
00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:57.400
and doing all these things, it ends up telling their

677
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:02.239
ovaries to stop because they don't. Your body says you're

678
00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:04.199
too stressed to have a baby, so we're going to

679
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:06.960
stop you from ovulating. So a lot of these women

680
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:10.559
don't have periods, and uh, you know some of them

681
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:12.719
can have menopausal symptoms because of that.

682
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:18.360
Right well, as she suspected it, as I suspected this

683
00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:25.360
time flew bike. If listeners suspect that they have a

684
00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:28.440
hormone imbalance, or if they you know, like the things

685
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:31.360
that I'm complaining about, like there's some weight I can't

686
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:33.880
get rid of and stuff like that, what's the first

687
00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:36.519
step would where would you tell, you know, we're almost

688
00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:38.840
done and we're going to have to say goodbye. What

689
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:42.159
would you say the first step they should take today.

690
00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:45.880
Is if I'm not trying to suffer remote but the

691
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:49.119
first thing is that to go to the ass Blueprint

692
00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:52.280
Schools school and she's going to tell you that. But

693
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:55.239
the first thing is to get us saliva test. And

694
00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:58.559
I always do that if I before I started because

695
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:00.960
I used GLP ones and my office. But I don't

696
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:04.599
even start them on nails those unless their harmones are balanced.

697
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:07.159
So that is the first step. Get a saliva test.

698
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:09.519
If you can't find somebody to do it, you can

699
00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:13.239
order one through my school group and I'll give you

700
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:15.239
like a video review and tell you, hey, this is

701
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:17.719
what's going on. And you can fix some of those

702
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:21.079
things through supplements. Uh even progesterone you can get over

703
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:23.920
the counter esergen you can't, but most women aren't even

704
00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:26.079
going to need that, So I would tell you the

705
00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:28.280
first thing is to figure out what is going on

706
00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:31.639
with you. Where are you out of balance? And I

707
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:33.880
can help you tell you some things that can get

708
00:41:33.880 --> 00:41:37.119
you back into balance. So that's the first step is

709
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:38.480
do the saliva.

710
00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:43.239
Test and then maybe think about going plant based. As

711
00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:43.639
far as.

712
00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:47.599
Eating going plant based, think about, well, you're not going

713
00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:49.440
to be able to lose weight and gets your unless

714
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:52.400
your hormones trade, so you can't do that. You can

715
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:56.079
start eating more fiber probiotics if you're if you're not

716
00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:58.159
having at least one by movement a day, and I

717
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:00.440
would like for you to have two. You need to

718
00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:03.000
get that going. That'll help you get rid of extra

719
00:42:03.159 --> 00:42:06.639
estrogen too. So there's things you can do even without

720
00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:08.639
the saliva test. I don't want you to think that.

721
00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:11.599
You know, you've got to pay a bunch of money

722
00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:14.039
to do it. And the saliva test is inexpensive. If

723
00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:16.800
you just do an estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, it's one

724
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:20.039
hundred and thirty five dollars. If you add quotasol into it,

725
00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:22.480
it's two seventy five. But we try and tell patients,

726
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:25.960
think of how much money you've spent not knowing what's

727
00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:29.519
going on with you, and this one test can explain

728
00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:34.400
almost everything. So it really is worth it's worth the money.

729
00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:37.800
And if you go and look at my Google reviews,

730
00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:42.679
you'll see is that that's a minuscule price to pay

731
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:46.079
to actually figure out what's going on with them.

732
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:49.960
Well, the name of this episode is weight gain, brain fog,

733
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:56.440
and bad advice. I'd say this is just the opposite.

734
00:42:56.719 --> 00:43:03.519
Let's want. I want people to be way appropriate, be clear,

735
00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:07.960
have clarity, you know, like being a financial advisor. I

736
00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:10.880
know that if I am not, if my brain is

737
00:43:10.920 --> 00:43:16.039
not clear. I'm not making the best decisions financially exactly.

738
00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:19.639
And that's what women. I'll tell you. Women have come

739
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:21.840
to me and said, uh, you know, I may not

740
00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:23.559
have gotten a divorce if I had ha known my

741
00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:25.760
heart moones or the problem. I thought it was my husband,

742
00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:28.360
you know. And I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I've

743
00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:31.119
heard that over. I've heard it more than once. I

744
00:43:31.159 --> 00:43:34.519
mean five, six, seven times. And you know I get

745
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:37.519
I've gotten Christmas cards from husbands and saying thank you

746
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:40.679
for giving me my wife back. I mean, that was

747
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:44.599
my personal experience. Once. Once I understood this and my

748
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:48.559
wife started taking progesterone, I mean, I became a good

749
00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:52.519
husband again. So I lived through that. And you know

750
00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:55.599
I tell patients, you know, I tell people when I

751
00:43:55.719 --> 00:43:58.840
when I talk, is that I got into this for

752
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:03.159
selfish reason. I wanted to stay married to my wife.

753
00:44:03.639 --> 00:44:06.440
And two weeks before her period, she hated me. And

754
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:08.440
then the two weeks after that, I was the best

755
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:10.840
husband in the world and it was driving me crazy,

756
00:44:11.199 --> 00:44:14.159
you know. So and so she got projester and all

757
00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:16.199
of a sudden, I became a great husband, you know,

758
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:20.239
thirty days out of the month, and so I've lived it.

759
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:23.760
I've lived through every stage. I'm almost sixty five, so

760
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:27.400
I've lived through the PMS. I've lived through the reproductive cycle,

761
00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:31.360
the very menopause, the menopause. So I'm just telling I'm

762
00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:33.480
trying to help other women and trying to help the

763
00:44:33.599 --> 00:44:37.599
men who love these women. That how your woman can

764
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:45.239
stay like she's been, you know, forever for everybody exactly exactly.

765
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:50.480
It makes men's lives better and and the women also.

766
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:54.159
So yeah, this I got in this for selfish reasons.

767
00:44:54.199 --> 00:44:56.480
I'm not as altruistic as you might think I am.

768
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:04.320
Well, our time is up. I will have the in
