Across three decades of practice, Dr. Taylor has walked families through ALS, Parkinson’s, dementia, addiction, traumatic brain injury, concussions, and devastating strokes — including the massive stroke that took her own brother. She and Frank go deep on:

• How women are routinely dismissed and “gaslit” in medical settings
• Her own almost-missed endometrial cancer, brushed off as “just stress”
• The emotional cost of telling families the worst news a human can hear
• Why she nearly quit medicine after her mother died in an ICU
• The hidden danger of youth sports concussions and second-impact syndrome
• Near-death experiences, souls, and why she believes something comes after this life
• Prancer the therapy dog: intuitive diagnoses, comforting the paralyzed, and angels in fur
