Here's your host, doctor Eldrick Taylor.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Hello. Hello, this is another great Wednesday morning, and this
is the time for our age list Blueprint podcast. I
am so happy that you have joined me, and I
want to thank anybody who has viewed my my podcast
and have shared it with their friends and family. I

(01:23):
appreciate it. I hear you know responses that people are watching.
You know sometimes you do these you don't know exactly
who's watching you, don't you know if you don't comment,
and I really encourage you to comment, and I will
personally respond. All right, But I am doctor Taylor. I
am the hormone doctor, and I am also the spiritual MD.

(01:45):
And the reason why I called myself those because hey,
we wrote two books. We wrote a book called All
Your Hormones, Making You Sick, and so that gave me
the moniker of the hormone doctor because in that we
talk about new ways of testing for hormones, really not
new ways ways it's been around since nineteen sixty. We
talk about saliva testing to really find out what your

(02:08):
hormones are doing. And then about three years later, we
wrote a book called The Stress Connection, because we began
to understand that stress really disrupts everything. It disrupts every
organ system in your body. And initially we found out
that it disrupted hermones. So even though we measured the

(02:29):
hermones correctly, we balanced them correctly, when we weren't including
cortisol and our evaluation, we were in somewhat of a
hit or miss. It would work, you know, seventy five
eighty percent of the time, but then twenty percent of
the time, it wouldn't. And then we began to understand stress.
And this was over twenty years ago, and now stress

(02:52):
is a popular subject. A lot of people are talking
about it. A lot of people understand that stress is
really our number one enemy, that stress response, that fight
or flight, that causes a lot of problems when we
don't balance it with something called the parasympathetic nervous system,
which is your rest and digest So twenty years ago

(03:13):
we wrote The Stress Connection, and I really didn't understand
a lot about stress stress disconnection. So today, last week
we talked about the first part of the stress connection,
how we measure, and I'm going to review that, but
then we really want to focus on stress disconnection, some
of the things that I have actually learned recently, because

(03:34):
now I'm interested in stress disconnection. So let's go to
the slides, we'll do a little review, and then we'll
go from there. Okay, all right, so the Stress Connection
twenty years later. All right, I told you twenty years
ago we wrote this book. And here's the great thing
about books. When you based on physiology on things that

(03:55):
don't change, things that have stood at the test of time,
and that is hormones and stress and just describing the
basic physiology how the body works. And that's what our
books are based on. And that's why twenty years later
this book is still relevant. Twenty years later our other book,

(04:15):
Are Your Hormones Making You Sick? It's still relevant. How
do I know it's relevant because I just recently started
on TikTok maybe three four months ago at the most.
And you wouldn't believe the response that I get when
I start talking about how hormones work, and most men
and women don't really understand it. And you know, I
understand that, Hey, you don't have to know how a

(04:37):
car works in order for you to drive the car.
But I'm I'm going to tell you really kind of
need to know what your how your hormones work if
you want to have a smooth ride in your life,
because when your hormones get out of balance, your life
it's very rough and rocky, just like a car that's
out of tune. So the hormonal system and the nervous

(05:00):
system is really the backbone of how you're going to
feel throughout your life. If you can get your hormones
right and you can get your nervous system to balance
between rest and digest and fight or flight. You'll be
so surprised how much smoother your life can be. And
I'll tell you I know that from personal experience, because

(05:22):
before I understood this and my wife started having hormone issues,
it was a rough and rocky road in our life,
all right. But thankfully, thirty years ago a patient came
in and asked me a few questions about did I
know about biodentical hormones? Did I know about progesterone? And

(05:43):
because they asked that question, it really changed the course
of my life. So, anyway, is the stress connection okay?
How we knew it was real and why we see
it more clearly now? So again, this information is ageless,
all right. I don't even have to really update the
books because it's based on basic physiology. And that's why

(06:04):
we call this the ageless blueprint because a lot of
things that would be a good blueprint for our life's
ageless people were writing about this six seven, eight thousand
years ago back in Egypt and India. They were having
they were creating all of these blueprints to help us
navigate this life. And we just need to follow some

(06:26):
of these ancient blue blueprints. And anything that tests that
that that survives in you know, five ten thousand years.
Those are things that you can you can count on.
All right, So anyway, let's let's keep going. So twenty
years ago we wrote this book. Now, at first we

(06:48):
began with just realizing that there was a problem, and
then we began to have more clinical observations. We began
to see that some of the statistics that we had
seen about stress, they really were playing out in our
clinical practice. And I'm going to talk about that in
just a second. But we just had to realize that
something was disrupting our balancing of women's hormones, and we

(07:11):
discovered it was stress. All right. So at first we
started out with the stress connection, and now we're in
this evolution of asless blueprint. How do we manage this stress?
How do we measure it? Because you cannot manage what
you cannot measure, So we want to be able to
measure stress, and we want to be able to measure
our stress disconnect. How stressed were we and now how

(07:35):
disconnected are we from that stress? And how are we
connected to more of a higher self? All right? All right,
So while we wrote the book, so I'm an obi Juayan.
I'm I'm originally trained us in obi juyan and that's
when I started looking at biodonical harmones because the patient
came and asked me. And then it just so happens
that my wife, doctor Ababel Taylor, she's a psychiatrist, and

(07:58):
so we both were seeing women in their forties, fifties,
and sixties. And what my wife realized after we discovered this,
she said, Hey, most of my psychiatric patients that I'm
diagnosing is bipolar. They're in their forties, fifties, and sixties.
And what is bipolar. Bipolar just means you have this
wild fluctuation of moods, all right, And that's what happens

(08:20):
in menopause. When your hormones are out of balance, it
throws your brain out of balance, so you get these
wide fluctuations in mood. And then also when your cort
is always either high or low, you can have a
lot of anxiety and depression. And along with not having
enough for gesterone, you can have anxiety and depression. So
she was seeing people in a psychiatric realm that were

(08:43):
they were having these issues, and she was looking at
it in a psychiatric point of view. I was looking
at it in a hormonal point of view, and then
we both realized, Hey, this hormone and stress it's creating
that's what's creating our patient base. So we kind of
put those two together and start talking about the stress connection.

(09:05):
So that's how we kind of co authored these books.
It's coming from two separate perspectives, but we both were
seeing the same thing. And here's the interesting thing. Stress
can cause your hormones to be out of balance, and
your hormones being out of balance can be a stress,
so they're really entangled. You know. It's one of the

(09:26):
which came first the chicken other egg type scenarios. All right,
so let's keep going because I want to make sure
I get to the end, which I didn't get to
last time. All right. So this is the statistic that
changed our perspective. This is a study that was done,
I think in two thousand and two. If you look
at this, it's two thousand and two, and this is

(09:47):
what this study showed. It said forty three percent of
all adults suffered stress related adverse health effects. And it
also said seventy five to ninety percent of all visits
to primary care physicians are for stress related complaints of disorders.
So let's just stop right there. And this is my mindset.
When I saw that, I'm like, Okay, if stress is

(10:08):
involved in seventy five to ninety percent of the patients
that walk in my door, if I become a stress expert,
I will be able to help more than three fourths
of my patients just by understanding stress. What an impact
I could make on my patient's lives if I could
understand that the root calls the reason why they're walking

(10:30):
in my door is from some is from some type
of stress related complaint of disorder. So that's when I said,
I'm going to be an expert in stress and I'm
going to change the world. Now, you know that may
have been a little bit ambitious, but you know now
it's almost possible by having these podcasts and I'm on
tea is that maybe I can make a difference, okay,

(10:53):
And they say, if you can just change one percent
of the population, it would have a domino effect, and
it would it would change a lot of things. So
if we could just learn how to get out of
that stress mode, we could cure or we could prevent
a lot of illnesses and a lot of visits to
doctor's office. So stress has been linked to all the
leading causes of death, cardiovascular disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, torhrosis,

(11:18):
and suicide. It's all due to stress. So an estimated
one million workers are absent each day with stress related complaints.
And this is in two thousand and two. Well, this
is twenty three years ago. Is when I saw this.
And stress is responsible for more than twenty five billion
work days lost annually because of absenteeism. And you could
probably increase all those numbers by twenty thirty percent. And

(11:41):
I think I actually have some of these. But so
when we encountered this research finding, it fundamentally shifted our
understanding of modern healthcare. The vast majority of patient suffering
had a common denominator. It was stress. And if we
become experts in stress, we can help more than seventy
five percent of our patients. And I think it's probably
ninety five percent now. So the single insight became the catalyst,

(12:05):
the stress connection and everything that followed. We committed to
understanding stress at the deepest level possible. And I'll tell you, hey,
I went to a show to Spenser Advanced Workshop for
one week. That's all we talked about is stress and meditation,
how to disconnect from stress, and we saw people be healed,
we saw people who their biology changed. In a seven

(12:27):
day advanced workshop, did thirty five hours of meditation over
the course of those seven days, and they did before
and after measurements of different health markers, and they saw
amazing improvement twenty thirty percent improvement in these health markers
just after one week. And it's been shown that if

(12:50):
you can disconnect from stress for a few minutes a
day for four days in a row, it will begin
to change your biology. So that's why stress is connected
to every leading cause of death, it's cause suicide. All
of these is our inability to disconnect from this stress connection.
All right, let's go to the next laugh. All right,

(13:12):
so I this is kind of where I'm most people
got stuck. So let's talk about the sympathetic and the
pair of sympathetic nervous system. So one is fight to
flight and the other one is rest and digest. And
so being an obi juy in and anybody who's had
a baby, they know that the baby is monitored through
a fetal hearts racing. So this is it, and I

(13:33):
looked at these at nauseum for over fifteen years when
I was doing routine ob juy in and this are
these are the contractions that the baby is having. And
so when the baby is under stress, and look at this,
this acceleration that means the heartbeat speeds up. The sympathetic
nervous system is in fight or flight because it is
identifying a stress. So what happens is is that the

(13:56):
heart rate increases because blood has to flow to their
extremities to get ready to fight or flight. All right,
or fight or flight? Okay, Now you want that to
only happen for a limited amount of time while the
stress is there, and then you want to recover. And
the recovery means that you get these irregular heart beats.
And it doesn't mean that the rhythm is irregular. What

(14:19):
it means is that the space between the heart beats
are getting longer and shorter. And what you have to
think is that when there's a long space between the
heart beats, what happened the heartbeat? Then what is happening
is that your heartbeat is slowing down and the pair
of sympathetic nervous system is coming in and helping you
to recover from just this short term stress, all right.

(14:40):
So every second when you stand up, sit down, turn left, right,
those are stressors on your body because it's having to move.
But then afterwards the pair of sympathetic nervous systems should
come in and help you to recover from that. So
second by second, your heartbeats are changing pair of sympathetic sympathetic,
pair of sympathetic sympathetic. That is called heart rate variability.

(15:00):
And you want your heart rate to vary based on
the certain the circumstances of your environment. So a lot
of heart rate variability is good, just like here. Now,
when you get not much heart rate variability, and instead
of responding to the stress with acceleration, your heartbeat actually
goes down. When you see a stress that is not good.

(15:22):
That means that you're unable to recover from that stressor.
And this baby needs a c section. It needs to
be removed from that environment of being in the womb,
and it needs to come out so that it can
get oxygen and all of these things. So when you
get in this state, you either have to change your
state or you have to remove yourself from that environment,

(15:44):
all right, So that's what we did. As an obe.
Now you can do human heart rate variabilities. There's all
these and I'll show you. There's machines that can do it.
Now there's wearables. I'm going to show you that. But
this is how we used to do it. We'd have
people come in the office. We will put a little
heart monitor on their chest and we would have them
to lay down and relax. And so when you see

(16:06):
long lines, that means there is a long space between
the heartbeats. So that means there's parasympathetic activity so that body.
So the body is reacting to all these little changes.
You got to think about changes in your glucose and
potassium and all of these little changes that have to
take you know, take place almost millisecond to millisecond. So
this is good heart rate variability. So then we ask

(16:29):
the patient to stand up, and now the heartbeat gets
closer together. This is a little different from you saw
the acceleration go up. This is down. So when you
stand up, your heart rate has to increase so that
you get blood flow to your brain because now you're
working against gravity. So you make that adjustment of standing up,
and then afterwards you go back and you start to

(16:49):
see more pair of sympathetic activity. It's a little bit
less because you're standing now, but your body is still
making those adjustments. Now, this is someone who has poor
heart rate, veryble ability. So that means that whatever changes
need to be made, they're not going to be made.
So you're going to eventually have some type of disease
or some connect to some condition because your body is

(17:12):
unable to respond to those changes, so it begins to deteriorate.
A poor heart rate variability score has been shown to
increase mortality by up to twenty five percent. So this
is very important. And these are things that you can change,
all right, when you disconnect, you can change things like this.
So this is another way to measure stress is a

(17:32):
look at cortisol. And now cortisol is your stress hormone.
And cortisol actually is good for you if it's if
it's produced in the right way because you you know,
when you go through the day, you have certain stressors
that you have to deal with your family, your job, whatever.
So cortisol mobilizes glucose so you have energy during the day,

(17:55):
all right, So cortisol should be high in the morning,
so you have a lot of glucose energy to burn
and this is upper into normal. This is a lower
end of normal, and this is the normal range. So
just think you wake up, you should have energies. You
get out of bed, you should be ready to go.
You go to work, take the kids to school, you
get the lunch, and you go to work, you get

(18:15):
the lunch time, you eat a little lunch, it kind
of evens out a little bit. You go home, you
eat dinner, and then your cortosol should go down so
you can rest and you can recover the next day. Now,
this is someone who's burnt out, okay, that they probably
had a lot of stress in their life where their
cortisol was up here for a long period of time,
and you create something called adrenal fatigue because you're adrenal gland,

(18:39):
which is right over your kidney is what makes cortisol.
And when you are distressed for too long, your body
gets burned out. And this is the amount of cortisol
that you're getting during the day. So instead of getting
this much, you have this much. And in order to
fill this gap, a lot of time, you're drinking coffee,
or you're drinking energy drinks, or you're in land in
Starbucks trying to get some caffeine to give you some energy.

(19:03):
And then also you reach for those those simple carbohydrates
like the doughnuts and the danishes, and so these companies
know that a lot of people they don't know they
have a lot of adrenal fatigue, but they know that in
the morning they need to pick me up and a
lot of times this is what we see in our testing.
And I'm going to show you some of those examples. Now,

(19:24):
this is probably this is the precursor to that. Now,
what's supposed to happen is when you have a stressor
you get a little bit more quarters, all the stress
goes away and it goes back to normal, just like
in that feudal heart racing or whatever. But when people
have sustained stress like this, you know, taking care of
sick parents, taking care of a sick child, you know,
for weeks and months and years on end, you start

(19:47):
out like this and eventually you burn out and you
go to this point. All right, So we're going to
try to avoid that. Now, I'm just going to show
you how prevalent this is. I think I showed this
last week. These are nine out of the team, seven
out of the ten last quartisol tests that I've done,
and this is like in a week, you know, maybe

(20:07):
And remember this is the normal range, this green area,
and you see how everyone has abnormal quartasols every last one.
And this one, you see especially, is a little bit
different because it's going up at night. And these people
will tell you that they wake up every night at
two between two and four o'clock in the morning, can't

(20:28):
go back to sleep because their quartosol rhythm is totally off. Now,
this can be someone who works the night shift, or
it can be someone who had a sick baby or
whatever and they were staying up at night and now
this pattern is kind of burnt, burnt into their system.
So this is when I talk about the stress connection.
In seventy five to ninety percent. Now this is what

(20:51):
we're talking about. I see it over and over and
over again. And this is this is not corrected with testosteron.
And I don't even get into that. A lot of
times people are given, especially women, are given testosterone for energy,
but really it's a cortisol issue. It's a cortisol issue.
It's not a testosterone issue. All right, all right, true stress,

(21:13):
the true stress connection. We understood. Stress is something that
broke down the body, elevating cortisol, disrupting sleep, depleting energy,
and accelerating disease process. Now we recognize that stress is
a messenger revealing separation from peace. Purpose and source is
not just biological, it's existential. What we call stress was

(21:34):
really loss of coherence and enter an internal fragmentation that
manifested its symptoms in the body and turbulence in the manner.
So now we have a deeper understanding of all of this.
All right, So let me see I want to yeah,
all right, okay, So we're going to get to that.
All right, all right, So I want to talk about

(21:55):
let me let me go back. Okay, here we were,
all right. So the AGI's blueprint connect from stress mastery
to total transformation. The entire age blueprint was born from
the fundamental insight that mastering stress is the key to
hormone balance, cellular longevity, and holistic transformation. What began as
a stress research evolved into comprehensive framework for optimal human function.

(22:19):
So in our age as Blueprint school, one of the
places we have is mindset mastery is one of the
courses we have, and mindset mastery is really stress mastery
understanding and regulating the stress response through nervous system training
and coherence practices. And I'm going to show you I
love this music headband because that's what taught me how

(22:40):
to regulate my stress response. Hormone optimization, restoring natural hormone
rhythms and balance is stress coherence improves. So I tell
you it's kind of a chicken or egg. Is that
the stress is called the harmone problems are the hormone
problems causing the stress. Now, when you do that, and
I've learned this with Joe Despenza, is that supporting the
bodies innate reginda to capacity through reduced oxidative stress. And

(23:03):
really when you can get into that parasympathetic mode, that's
when your body can heal. That's why it's so important
to try and stay in that state and avoid the
fight or flight state as much as possible. So you
want to have conscious connection, cultivating alignment with purpose, peace
and source as the foundation of lasting vitality. And that's
why I call myself the spiritual MD. Is that when

(23:24):
you can connect with that higher power, whatever and however
you believe, that is what helps you to disconnect. You
have to get out of this bodily experience and you
have to cultivate the right spirit. So that's what we're
talking about with this conscious connection, all right. So I
just want to get to this, all right, Modern tools

(23:46):
for Ancient balance right, tracking, coherence and teaching self manstery.
And I'm going to show you some some of my
results and how I'm actively doing this while I'm teaching you. Okay,
So modern tuols for Ancient it's a muse headband. I
keep talking about this, but it really is going to
help you to rewire your brain to get into that

(24:07):
pair of sympathetic mode, and it teaches you how to meditate.
Most people don't meditate because they don't know if they're
doing it right or not. And it really is no
right or wrong. It's all about practice. You practice meditation
just like I practice medicine. You're always learning, you're always
trying new techniques, you're always trying to improve yourself. So

(24:29):
meditation is not a goal. It's a practice. It's a journey,
all right. So real time brain weigh feedback during meditation,
translating neural activity into immediate guidance with deepening practice and
building coherence, and I'm going to show you some of
my results so you can see this now. Also is
violate photo modulation. And what I want to get to

(24:52):
is that we are energetic beings and I'll have to
do a whole podcast on that about quantum physics and
energetic and and frequencies. But the best way to change
energy is with energy. So that's with sound and with light.
So this vile light photo photo biomodulation. There's a transcranial

(25:14):
and intranasal light therapy supporting brain health, neuroplastics, plasticity, and
cognitive function at the cellular level. And I'll show you
my vio light. And I do this every night and
every morning. So there's two different frequencies. One helps to
calm the brain down, the other one helps to stimulate

(25:35):
the brain. So I do one in the morning, one
in the evening. But this is it. It's just a
little let me see if I can show it to you.
It's a little thing. And you actually put this in
your nose and that may sound a little disgusting, but hey,
the reason why you do that is because the thinnest
part of your skull is right behind your nose. It's
called the kripperform plate. So that's the easiest way for
this light to trans transmit through your skull. So that's

(25:59):
why you do it. When you do it for twenty minutes.
You can do it while you're doing something else, while
you're brushing your teeth or whatever. But that is how
you change the energy of your brain is through light
and through sound. All right, So then we have the
Human Band. This is continuous health monitoring providing insights into sleep, recovery,
nervous system state throughout your daily life. And I'll show

(26:22):
you that and show you some of my results on that,
and then HRV applications. Remember I told you how important
heart rate variability is, to show you how balanced your
sympathetic compare sympathetic nervous system is. And there's all kinds
of tracking. It's on the Apple watches in the Human Band,
and these apps offer objective measurement of the stress resilience

(26:42):
and autonomic nervous system balance. So we can now track
coherence and teach patients to regulate the inner world with
precision that is unimaginable twenty years ago. These technologies transform
abstract concepts like stress reduction into measurable rackable, achievable goals,
turning stress into self mastery. And I'm anxious to show

(27:06):
you my results, to show you how I've done this.
The ancient wisdom of meditation and breath work now has
modern validation and enhancement through technology that provides immediate bio feedback,
accelerating the journey to mastery. And again, meditation has been
around for thousands of years, so there must be something

(27:27):
to it if it has stood the test of time,
and it has been a part of cultures all over
the world. All these cultures that really had no connection
to each other all developed this mean, this practice of meditation,
and that is how they connected with the heavens, with
the with God or the God. So whatever is through meditation,

(27:50):
all right, I think it's time for a break, and
then we're going to talk about So this is This
is me in a meditation session with my Muse headband.
So we'll talk about that, and I'll talk about what
these results mean and how important it is to be
able to monitor this, monitor this, to be able to
see where you are and how you can improve. So

(28:10):
let's go to a break, and then I'm going to
show you how I've used some of these How I've
used some of these devices?

Speaker 2 (28:18):
All right, we are going to a quick break, so
stay with us as we explore the Ageless Blueprint right
here on W FOURHC Radio and Talk for TV. An
ancient secret with a modern twist for better health and vitality.

insights and research on the ancient secret to better health

(29:25):
and a better life in modern times. Here's your host,
doctor Eldred Taylor.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Hello, how are you? And I am back and we're
talking about the stress connection. Twenty years later and this
is my new This is part two and this is
talking about stress disconnection, and so I want to really
show this. So this is me in a meditation session.
All right. I actually turned on the muse and I

(29:54):
had a camera in front of me, and this is
actually a video that I have, I think in my
school group and just talks of about what meditation is
and what it isn't. But this is you put the
mus headband on and you have a app that you run.
All right, now, I want to show you this. See
these little bluebirds here, that means that my brain wave

(30:15):
was in the alpha state, okay, which is the this
is the state where your thoughts are very organized and
where you're in a meditative state where your mind is clear.
And it doesn't mean erasing all your thoughts. It means
acknowledging that you have the thought and then you refocus

(30:36):
yourself back into a meditative state. So all of these
little birdies here means that I was in a meditative state.
Now you see the little star here, that means that
I got distracted. But whenever you determine that, hey, I'm distracted,
and that's a part of meditation is to know oh okay,

(30:57):
I'm not focusing on my breath anymore. And how quickly
can you recover? So these I had ten recoveries here,
and most of the time it's going to happen at
the end. But you see here I was quickly able
to identify that I got distracted and when I was
able to go back into a meditative state. So it's
not about erasing thoughts. It's about not going down the

(31:18):
thought rabbit hole. It's about not having a thought and
then start to imagine the worst outcome, because that's what
the brain automatically does. It has a thought and then
it starts thinking what could possibly go wrong, and so
you have to let that thought just pass by, and
then you have to refocus. Now, I also wanted to

(31:39):
show you if you can make it where it's all
the slats, so I can point this out. Rebel is
that this is looking at cognitive performance, and so this
is telling you how well is your brain working, how
well is your cognition working. And see I had gone
through a dip here. So again not every session is
going to be great, all right, But I had a

(32:00):
problem here. I don't know. I may have sometimes if
I meditate too late in the day, I've already kind
of clubbed my mind with too much stuff. And so
I don't have a good meditation. And I shouldn't say
bad or good. It's just it just was not my
optimal meditation. But you see, I made some changes and
now this day I had optimal cognitive performance. And everybody

(32:21):
is worried about their cognition. I am, I'm sixty five.
I don't want to have a cognitive declinent. This is
how you do it through meditation. You let your brain heal,
you let it rest, you let it recover. So that's
how important it is. And that's the value of this feedback,
all right. So I'm not trying to push you on

(32:41):
this MWS headband. I'm just telling you it's very valuable
information and it will help you learn how to meditate,
all right. And so if you want that, you can
go to choose muse and it should be in my links.
Choose muse mus dot com, forward slash ageless. And if
you don't invest in anything else, if you could just

(33:02):
invest in this and give your body ten minutes a day,
fifteen minutes a day to totally be in that parasympathetic state,
it would change your biology. It will change how you think,
it'll change how you feel, and I am so devoted
to meditation. I will not go a day without it.
If I don't have time in the morning, I will

(33:23):
do it before I go to sleep, because you have
to let that mind rest and let your nervous system rest,
and that lets your body rest, all right. So I
don't think I can say that too, you know, too convincingly,
all right. So I want to show you this other thing.
This is called a human body pod. And can you
show that so that you can see the whole thing, rebel,

(33:45):
And I'll point it out all the ages blueprint. I
still can't see it, all right. So it is a
state of the art wellness chamber providing immersive sensory experience
with deep relaxation. So what it is it is, and
we used to do this in the office. It's a
body composition scale, and we used to have to put
two electrodes on your feet and two electrodes on your arm,

(34:07):
and then it sends a current of electricity through your
body right here, all right. And what that is saying
is that how fast or how slowly does that the
electrical current pass through your body and back? And based
on how fast or how slowly the current goes through
it can tell you how much fat, how much fluid,

(34:27):
how much bone, how much muscle. It can tell you
if it's subcutaneous fat is a visceral fat. So it's
very good information that I used to have to come
to the office in order to get this information, but
now you can actually do it at home. And this
is something called a human wristband, which looks at it
can actually tell you your biological age. And I'm going to

(34:49):
show you all of that because I'm very proud of it,
all right, And so this is something you can do
at home. And then there's something called Hume Connect where
I can actually help monitor you at home that I
can see your results. And it's also has an AI
component to it where it will evaluate your data and
it will give you different suggestions on how to improve

(35:12):
these different markers. So I'm really excited about this. This
is something that I've just been become a part of
and that is also in the links, and I can
show you how to order that and it can be
much less expensive than what you can see on the website.
So if you're interested in that, just leave a comment
and I'll give you information on how you how you

(35:35):
can purchase both of those. But let me show you
my results. All right, so this is my weight. I'm
one hundred and eighty pounds. Actually I'm a little bit less.
This is like two days ago, I think. All right,
so this is my body fat percentage. It's gone down.
And actually I was at the I had been going
to the gym, and I was seeing my fat mass

(35:57):
was going up a little bit and my skeletal mass
was going down. And that's the thing that you want
to avoid. You don't want to lose muscle mass. And
sometimes if you're stressed or you stress your body out
too much, you'll begin to lose muscle and not fat.
And that's also what GOLP one's I think anybody who's
taken who's on a GLP one somehow they need to

(36:18):
have a body composition analysis to make sure they're not
losing muscle. And that's why people would come to the
office to make sure that they were losing fat or
not muscle. And now you can actually do this at
home and you can make changes on a day to
day basis, and that's what I did. So anyway, my
body fat percentage was going down, my lean mass, muscle
mass was going up. Subcutaneous fat went down. See what

(36:41):
was going up? And I had to make some changes.
And I know when I eat simple carbs. I think
I had gone out to brunch and I had some danishes.
That's my kryptonite. I'm going to gain visceral fat. And
you see here I gained the visceral fat, gain some
subcutaneous fat. But hey, I made changes immediately and it
went back down. See, my skeletal muscle went up. I

(37:02):
actually started drinking our Amino Restore shape that you can
find in Tailor and B formulations. I started drinking the
shape twice a day instead of once a day, and
my skeletal muscle mass went up. Because I was working
out harder at the gym. He was pushing me harder,
and so I had to increase my protein and since
I'm mostly vegetarian, I had to increase it through a

(37:24):
P protein shape. All right, Now, this is basil metabolic rate.
That means how much how many calories do I burn
at rest? And as you get more muscle mass, your
basil metabolic rate will go up. Now this is from
the hum band and the body pod. So when they
put the body composition together and then the human band,

(37:47):
which is looking at my heart rate and heart rate
variability and my stress level. My metabolic age at sixty
five is actually fifty six, all right, so my biological
age is almost well, it is nine years younger than
my chronological age, and I want to keep that going,
all right. So this has given you a day by

(38:08):
day way to change the course of your longevity. All right, So, Rebel,
is that cool or not? Yes? I think it is.
That's why I put your picture back up so they
can yeah the results. Yeah, I'm sixty five and I
feel fifty six. I feel even younger than that. So

(38:29):
and let me tell you I didn't just I just
start having access to these tools. Now, Now, I really
started this whole journey of trying to be healthier, you know, thirty. Well, no,
I won't say, I'll say ten or fifteen years ago
that I really tried to pay attention to my health. Now,
I we'll tell you. When COVID came, I gained almost

(38:50):
forty pounds. Instead of being one eighty, I was at
two nineteen. Now, what I did was I was able
to lose twenty pounds by you know, just realizing that
I was gaining weight like crazy, and you know everybody
was stressed during that time. But then I will be
honest with you, I actually took a GLP one to
lose the actual the other twenty pounds and now I

(39:11):
did that about a year and a half ago, and
since then, I haven't been taking any shots for a
year and a half and I've maintained my weight at
oneint eighty all right, So it's possible to do that,
and I use GLP ones as a as kind of
a kickstart, and then hopefully that's going to change your habits.
It made me become more plant based. I started not
drinking wine at night. I hardly ever drink any wine

(39:34):
at all now or alcohol, And really the GLP ones
helped to take a lot of those cravings and tastes away.
So it's this is a thing that you do consistently.
You're not going to change overnight. But if you can
make these small little changes over the course of days
and weeks and months, then you will see that there

(39:55):
is a true result. And again you can see that
things you do from day to day can change the
course of your body composition of your longevity. So every
day counts. You want to start the day off you
want to have a ritual that includes movement, that includes meditation,
that includes taking care of yourself, loving yourself, all right.

(40:19):
You can't love others if you don't love yourself, so
you have to take care of yourself. I have a
morning routine, okay, so and you stay with those routines
and that's how you get long lasting results. All right,
So let's wind down here. So innerbalance, mastering the internal
landscape through coherence and harmony, and that's what meditation does.

(40:41):
It can get that heart brain coherence. And we'll have
to do a podcast on that. But in my school group,
we talk about coherence out of harmony, physical health and vitality,
expressing inner balance. So when you're balanced inside, you look
balance outside. All right. I had to work on myself
inwardly and I think it shows outwardly. So continuous evolution,

(41:05):
ever deepening understanding and practice of optimal living, so you
always want to learn. I was just looking at a
video today and they said, you need to ask a question,
is there any evidence that would change your mind or
change any of your beliefs? And when someone says that
there's nothing that can change my mind, you know that
they have stopped thinking, and they've stopped growing because you

(41:26):
always want to have you always want to be open
to new ideas and new and new ways of doing things.
And so you know, all of these gadgets are new
ways of doing things that I was doing twenty years ago,
and I want to embrace that. And now what I
used to have to do in the office you can
do at home and that and to me, that's great.
All right. So the a this is, this is ageless.

(41:49):
This is the blueprint, Okay. I would love for you
to connect with me and other places. Please subscribe to
my YouTube channel, all right. It helps me and it
helps all the people because the more people who subscribe
to it, it gets pushed out to more people. I am
actually doing a TikTok live at eleven o'clock. I do
it every Wednesday and sometimes I have more than six

(42:11):
or seven thousand people on there trying to learn about
hormones and longevity. So I would love for you to
follow me on TikTok. I have a school group skool
it's called ace Less Blueprint, and in there I have courses.
I have courses on hormone clarity. I have a course
on mindset mastery, I have a course on five Pillars

(42:34):
of Aceless Living. We have another course on introduction to
peptads and glp ones are peptads, and these peptads are
these small little chains chains of amino acids that helps
to stimulate organ systems to repair themselves and to start
functioning normally. All right, So there's all different types of
peptats that are available, and there's an introduction there. We

(42:56):
have a course on the pineal gland. And the panal
land is a little gland in your brain, and that
gland can get calcified by different things in the environment.
But that pineal gland is actually your GPS system. You
have a GPS system for life, just like the birds
have a GPS system to know the fly south in
the winter and they can go to the exact same

(43:19):
place every winter and every summer they go to the
exact same place. How do they navigate that without ways? Okay,
you have a ways in your brain called the pineal gland.
And I have a video there and I'm going to
put it on YouTube. Is about how you how you
can understand your pineal gland and how you can reactivate

(43:40):
your pineal gland. And that is actually your gateway to
higher consciousness, all right. So I don't want to get
too far left for you guys, but that's a part
of me developing my spiritual MD persona. How can I
connectience with spirit? And the pineal gland is that it

(44:03):
is the connection between body, mind and spirit. And nobody
talks about the paneal gland, but every animal has a
pineal gland, all right, So every every animal has this
connection with the electromagnetic field or the quantum field, and

(44:24):
in that area, all things are possible. Okay, It's about
what do you believe. There's a song that they sing
in church. All things are possible. You only have to believe,
all right. And it's about thoughts. Thoughts create reality. So anyway,
I'm getting a little bit I'm getting a little bit
too far off, but that's that's that's the direction we're

(44:47):
going to. It is because a part of relieving stress
is to reconnect with that GPS system so that you're
not stressed, so that your own intuition can help guide
you and help help you to make decisions, and so
you're not stressed about it is that you're confident because
you feel like your intuition is guiding you that gut

(45:10):
feeling you need to pay attention to. All right, So anyway,
are there any questions? You got any questions? Rebel? We
got two or three minutes. But you know I'm okay, great, okay, great, okay?
And how is what I was beneficial because of you know?
This is what I'll tell you. Let's go back to this,
all right. So I'll be honest with when I first

(45:33):
started this, I could not I mean, I had no
idea what to do. I actually took a course that
you can download. It's called Declutter the Man, and it
was a thirty day mindfulness meditation. People have heard of
mindful meditation, and it coaches you, hey, can you go
one minute without being distracted? And then you go to

(45:54):
five minutes, then you go whatever, And then a lot
of times it would take me two or three minutes
to get into this state. So what the muse had been.
What it does is you put that on and you
put your ear plugs in and you will start to
hear birds when your brain has become quiet, and you
have to try different breathing techniques, and there's guided meditation

(46:16):
in there. You try different breathing techniques, you can try
different ways of sitting. Is it better when you lie down?
But how do I get my brain to quiet down?
So this has given you, you know, immediate bio feedback
is what are your brain waves doing? And with anything,
once you become aware of something, then you can begin

(46:37):
to change it. So I became aware of hey, this
is how I have to breathe. This is how I
have to calm my brain down to get into this state.
And you see I can do it almost instantaneously now
and you can't. You couldn't do that before. I mean
I couldn't do that before. So that's the value of it.
It gives you this feedback and it teaches you how

(46:57):
to get into this state. Now. It probably took me,
you know, I did that thirty day course and I
was diligent. I did it every day and so this
is this is the results of two or three months
of practice, all right. But I wouldn't have been able
to do this without getting that feedback to know how
to do it. So that's the that's the value of it,
all right. We have another question. What does it read?

(47:20):
And how often do you Now? I do it every morning.
It's reading. See your brain and your heart they send
out an electromagnetic signal. Okay, so it's reading the signal
just like you get an ECG or they you've seen
these people have these brain wave studies. Well this is
doing it with just this band, and so it is

(47:41):
looking at brain waves. You have these five different brain waves.
You have gamma, beta, alpha, theta, and delta. And alpha
and theta are the two meditation frequencies. So it's measuring
are you in those two frequencies. And when you're in
those frequencies, that's when your body can heal. That's when

(48:03):
you're in that pair of sympathetic state, when your body
is looking at trying to heal itself and to try
and regenerate itself. So that's why I do it every
day so that my body has at least ten to
fifteen minutes of being able to heal. And whenever you
can do it and you can calm your breath down
and you can calm your thoughts down, your body is
going into that healing pair of sympathetic mode. So I

(48:26):
nowhere out of time. Having other questions please come in, okay,
go ahead, questions real quick. Okay.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
They're questioning does it require a subscription and who all
sees these results.

Speaker 3 (48:36):
Oh it's just you. Oh no, it's just you. I'm
showing this to you.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
And I think they're asking, does anybody like is anybody
looking you at your results?

Speaker 3 (48:47):
Can anybody read these results other than no? I mean,
it's not being kept anywhere unless somebody steals your phones
and looks at it and can get in there. But no,
this is something. This is an app on your and
is your app, so yeah, so nobody else is going
to see this. And I don't think I'm paying a subscription.

(49:09):
I think I just had the by the band. I
don't think this is a subscription based app. I made
this so long and I don't know, and I probably
if it is, I probably pay for a year subscription.
But believe me, I think it's worth it. Okay, this
is worth it. It's been worth it for me for sure.
All Right, So I think we gotta go. I'm a
little bit over time, but I'll see you next Wednesday,

(49:31):
and until then, just keep keeping on right, all right,
I'll see you next week.
