Many people feel unwell even when their labs look normal. They fall on the left side of the health bell curve—below optimal but not yet diseased. Medicine calls these states syndromes like chronic fatigue, PCOS, ADHD, metabolic syndrome, or IBS instead of asking why the body is out of balance. The Ageless Blueprint reveals these hidden patterns and helps you move from dysfunction to optimal health—because feeling “normal” isn’t the same as feeling well.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Here's your those, Doctor Eldrid Taylor.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. I am doctor Taylor,
the hard one doctor and the Spiritual MD, and I
want to welcome you here to the Ageless Floprint where
we try to connect ageless wisdom with modern science. And
we're really going to do that today because what I'll
tell you, what I hear over and over again in
(01:25):
my office and on social media is why do my
labs seem normal and I feel so out of balance
or I feel so unwell? And so today we're going
to talk about what a great book that I read.
I've actually read it a couple of times, and it's
called the Myth of Normal. Is that when we say
(01:49):
normal labs, I want you to really understand what normal means.
It doesn't mean optimal, it doesn't mean you feel great,
it doesn't mean that everything's perfect. It just means that
you are normal in this particular society of population. It
is only saying that you fit into this bell shaped curve.
(02:11):
I'm going to talk to you about that. And anybody
who's taking statistics or anything in high school, they know
about the bell shaped curve. So that's what we're talking
about normal. So you have to think if most of
the people in a population are not well, then unwell
becomes normal because that's where the biggest group of people is,
(02:33):
is they're in this state of wellness or health or
sickness or whatever. So all of a sudden, that becomes normal,
and you get judged by that awkward sense of normal,
that unnormal sense, or that unhealthy sense of normal. So
we're going to talk about that because I was trained
in that thought process. You have been conditioned to think
(02:55):
like that, that if I'm like everyone else, then I'm normal.
That's not true. If you're in a society that is
sick and unhealthy and you're like everyone else, that means
you're sick and unhealthy. And that's how these labs are created.
This is how these normal ranges are created. So let's
go to the slade so you can maybe understand this
(03:17):
a little bit better, I hope. All right, So why
do I feel terrible even when your labs are normal? Okay?
Why do you feel terrible even when your labs are normal?
Because normal in medicine and in modern life has stopped
meaning healthy. Your body is trying to tell you something,
but conventional testing keeps missing the signals. And there are
(03:38):
these routine tests that we do we're going to talk about,
and they're routine because they're routine, and these routine tests
they have built up this normal range. And so if
the routine tests aren't telling you what you need to
know so you can take action, then we have to
start looking at some unroutine tests. Because the routine test
(04:00):
aren't telling you what you need to know. So we
need to look at some unroutine tests, so we're going
to get to that also, So let's go to the
next lab. Now I would recommend this book. It's a
little bit technical, but it's a little bit not technical
because it's going to talk about things that you think
are normal that really aren't normal. This is this is
a great book. So in the myth of normal, what
(04:22):
he talks about is sickness has become standard, and even
in medicine, I talk about the standard of care. The
standard of care in medicine is what are most reasonable
physicians doing in your area. So if most reasonable physicians
are doing things that are not good for you, you know,
(04:43):
like if most reasonable physicians are recommending chemo and radiation
for everyone, then that becomes the standard of care, whether
it is the right thing for you or not, but
doctors have to follow that standard of care. So it's
the same way where sickness has become the standard, where
people have in diabetes or high blood pressure are pcos.
(05:06):
It has become the standard because so many people have
these conditions, but that is not normal. That just means
that you are part of a population that has these issues.
So dysfunction looks ordinary. So the doctor Matte calls this
the myth of normal, a world of disregulated. The world
(05:28):
is so disregulated that dysfunction appears ordinary. And here's the problem.
That is how I got trained. So conventional medicine compares
you to an already unwell population perpetuating the cycle. So
most of the time in medical school and in residency,
you were dealing with people who are in the hospital.
(05:48):
So these people are sick enough to be in the hospital.
And that's how we got trained. And so here's how
you have to think. I used to go in my
office every day and I would see the obee patients,
and of course in nine months or so they would
have a baby. But then what would happen is is
that I would have these UYN patients and they would
(06:10):
have fibroids. And so what do we do. Well, we
have to wait until they're sick enough to go to
the hospital for a hysterectomy, are sick enough or have
enough pain to go to the hospital to have a laparoscopy.
So we would see you over and over again in
the office, one year after another one until you were
sick enough to have a problem that we knew how
(06:33):
to treat because we didn't do a whole lot of
office work. We didn't take care of a lot of
non hospital patients, so we don't really know what to do.
We weren't really taught what to do with people who
are trying to be healthy. We just knew how to
trioge people who needed who were sick. So you have
(06:56):
to think about when you go to the emergency room,
they triage you to see who's the sick person. So
in my office, and I didn't realize this until I
got out of this, I was really triaging people. I
was just going through people until I could find someone
who needed surgery or needed some procedure, because that is
how you make money. It's a business. I didn't realize
(07:19):
that's what I was doing, but you get caught up
into it. And so I'm like, I did not get
into medicine just to find the people who needed to
go to the hospital. I got into medicine to make
people healthy or well. And so I had to change
what I was doing in order to accomplish that goal
because what I was taught was not working. And I've
(07:42):
said this before, and the first person who I saw
not working on was my wife. Is that when she
was taking birth control pills and all that stuff, trying
to balance her hormones, and I didn't even thinking of
it as balancing, it was just trying to stop the symptoms.
Well it didn't stop the symptoms. It made the symptoms worse.
So that's when we me and my wife both start
(08:03):
to try to figure out how can we make ourselves better?
And this was some thirty years ago, and so this
is the culmination of that. Okay, so why doctors say
you're normal? The myth inside medicine. Physicians are educated within
the same cultural myth of normal that affects all of us.
So this is, you know, just doctors. They're just looking
(08:24):
at lab numbers to see if they fall into the
normal range. They're not looking up to see what the
patient looks like. Okay, so that's the disconnect. We look
at numbers, we look at X ray's, we look at MRIs,
but we very seldom look up to see the patient
and see who they are and what are they going
(08:44):
through and how it's stress at home and at work
affecting them. We're only looking at these normal these these
normal ranges. So we're looking at the average of sick populations.
Lab ranges reflect average sick populations, not thriving humans living optimally.
Because you got to think most of the people who
are in these studies are are are getting labs wrong.
(09:08):
Most of them are not healthy. Most most of them
are going to the lab because they think something's wrong
with them. And so you're going to get this normal
shifted for the unhealthy people the people who are healthy.
I you know, you see people who are healthy, They're
not going to the getting the blood drong or going
(09:28):
to the doctor or whatever. They are just being healthy.
So if you don't meet diagnostic criteria, you labeled normal.
But normal only means you're not yet disease. That's why
I was saying, I would I would go through the
office and hey, if the patient didn't have something that
I could fix with birth control pills or surgery or antidepressants.
(09:50):
I didn't know what else to do. I didn't know
what to tell them to eat. I didn't know how
to tell them to test if their gut was working.
I didn't know how to tell them to test if
they are hard, loans were balanced. I did not learn
so life of testing while I was in my residency.
I'd learned all of that seven or eight years after
I had been in practice and figured out that a
lot of the stuff that I learned does not work right.
(10:13):
So pathology over potential. This keeps doctors focused on pathology
instead of potential. So we're only looking at what is diseased.
We're not looking at how to make the rest of
you healthy. And I don't I don't want to. I
don't want to condemn one particular, one particular subspecialty. But
(10:37):
this is what I see in oncology is that when
we talk about pathology over potential, is that oncologists are
so great at trying to kill that cancer, to radiate it,
to to chemotherapy it, you know, do whatever it needs
to kill that cancer, but again not looking up to
(10:59):
see how killing the cancer could also be killing the
patient and what I try to do. I'm not saying
you shouldn't do those things, but then you also want
to see the potential of them recovering from all of
that treatment, and how can I keep them from being
from deteriorating while they're doing the treatment. So that's why
(11:20):
we try to offer support to cancer patients with vitamin
SEE and we're telling them about healthy diets and doing
the signatarity tests so we can find things early, so
we can look up and not look down at some
lab numbers or some X ray or some MRI, look
up and see the patient and see who they are
and talk to them, and you will get so much
(11:42):
information if you will just pay attention to the patient.
And I love talking to patients. I love hearing their stories,
and I love trying to make sense out of a
story that they have felt confused about because they keep
getting these normal labs. All right, So what does normal
(12:03):
labs really mean? Normal labs were built to diagnose the disease.
That's what I'm trying to get across to you. Hey,
they were trying to see who is diseased enough that
we have to intervene in a hospital or we have
to intervene with some high tech procedure. Okay, Now, in
(12:23):
order to be diseased, according to your labs, you had
to be two standard deviations outside of the mean. And
I know that's a lot of worse, but I can
guarantee you somewhere in your education you learned about two
standard deviations from the mean in this standard and this
(12:45):
bell shaped curve, So feel awful. Test a fan, so
you can feel terrible and still test a fan according
to conventional standards. All right, you're not yet sick enough.
That's what I told you. We were primarily hospital little focused.
I spent most of my time in the hospital. I
did not spend this is in my residency, in my training,
(13:07):
we do not spend a lot of time in the
office talking to patients who are just living day by day,
trying to get by. They're not sick enough to go
to the hospital, they're not sick enough for some surgery,
they're not sick enough for some high priced medication. So
you just say, hey, you're normal. I don't I'm not
quite sure what's going on with you, but according to
(13:30):
this everything seems fine. Well, here's the problem. I said this.
Often the doctor keeps saying you're not sick, and you
keep telling the doctor you're not well, and both of
you are correct, and that is what causes all of
the friction and confusion and frustration. The doctors are frustrated
with you because you keep coming in saying something's wrong
(13:51):
with you and they can't find anything, and you're frustrated
with them because you keep coming in and you know
something is wrong with you and the doctor can't find anything.
When that happens, that that makes you a perfect person
for me to see because now I know you don't
have a disease, and I'm almost sure you have a
(14:13):
functional problem not a disease. So now they've ruled out
all of the serious conditions, so now I can look
at all right, let's do some different testing. Let's look
at functional testing, not disease testing, and we can see
why you're not functioning like you want to. All right, Okay,
so I'm gonna spend a little time on this one, right,
(14:36):
So this is what I want to show you. When
function declines but not enough for disease, medicine creates these labels.
So this is a bell shaped curve. So these are people,
all right. So what they do is they draw the
blood from all of these people. All right. Now again,
would you say that our society is sick or that
our society is healthy? So you're going if you say
(14:57):
our society is sick, then here where most of the
people are, they're still going to be not quite well, okay,
because you just have to think, let's say one hundred
years ago, when we weren't eating processed foods. We didn't
have all these chemicals in our air and our water,
and people weren't dying of heart attacks back then. They
(15:19):
may have been dying of infection, but they weren't dying
of heart attack. They weren't dying from chronic diseases, all right.
So you have to think that before this curve may
have been over here where there were a lot of
healthy people. So you have to think this is the
healthy part. These are the sick people. These are the
super healthy people. So you got to think that before
normal was over here. So if you were outside of
(15:41):
the normal range, I'm sorry. So if you were outside
of the normal range, hey, you were still doing pretty
good because everybody was over here more healthy. Now, if
you have a sick population, it's going to move over here.
So you're going to think that all of these people
who have normal labs that they're healthy, but they're not
normally sick. So and the only way you can be
(16:03):
qualified as a disease is to go way over here,
all right. So you have to be in this two
and a half percent in order to be on the
low side of sick. And you have to be at
this two and a half percent to be on the
high side that your levels are too high, like hyper
thyroidism would be over here. Hyper thyroidism would be over
(16:25):
here all right. Now to high blood sugar be over here,
to low of a blood sugar be over here. So
that's how that works. Now let's look at this and
I don't know we can focus, but let me see
if this will No, I wanted to see if that
will get bigger. So this is what I want you
to see, is that when things are going right, this
(16:46):
should be where people are at their healthiest. Okay, where
they are functioning well. The majority of people are healthy.
They're not you know, super athletes or anything like the
people over here, and they're all so they're not you know, sick.
But so this is where health should be, all right.
(17:06):
And so if you are over here and you've spent
your life over here on this side, where you've been
either normally healthy or a little bit of a health
you know, fanatic, and these would be like the professional
athletes over here, all right. If you've lived your life
over here and now through poor eating and being stressed
(17:27):
too much and not sleeping, well, now you're over here
and now your gut doesn't work. You know all of
these are okay, great, Yeah, so now your gut doesn't
work all of these, so you are now over here. Well,
just because you're not over here doesn't mean you don't
need some help, or that you're not you know that
(17:47):
you're not well. You are not well. You are not
in the place where you normally are. And and this
is kind of what I wanted to get this in
because I had a sense of clarity today is that
that's what the age's blueprint, I think is about. Because
when I went to Egypt and I saw how advanced
(18:07):
they were, how they could build these temples and all
of this, and I began to realize that, hey, maybe
we are not the most technologically advanced, maybe we are
not the most the healthiest, the greatest civilization that has
ever lived. Is that what I believe is that back
(18:29):
when things were less artificial or process like they were.
I believe that in ancient societies people lived over here, okay,
that they ate well, they understood, they were connected with
the higher power, they they were functioning at a much
higher level. I think that what has happened over time
(18:53):
is that we have lost this ability. We have lost
it because the way we eat, and what our environment is,
the stress we are so now we don't have people
over here at all. We have lost this at all.
And I'm trying to go back and look at what
was happening, what kind of things were happening. And the
reason why I say Age was blueprint is because they
(19:15):
wrote all this down with hieroglyphics. I've been looking at
these videos about these ancient writings, these ancient scripts that
have been found in monasteries in Peru, and they understood
how to maximize human potential. And I think this is
what was happening over here. And we're living over here
(19:36):
and we call it normal, and so we are not
living the lives that we were meant to live. And
that's kind of what happened. That's kind of what has
happened to me from going from sixty three to sixty
four to sixty five. I am trying to rediscover my
human potential, the potential that they wrote about, the potential
(19:57):
that they built, you know, these nesteries up on these
high mountains. She's like, how in the world could they
build that up on this high mountain. I don't know,
but I believe that in the past we had the
ability to do those things, and we still are trying
to figure out what is going on, all right, So
that's that's what Agel's blueprint is about. How can we
(20:19):
how can we understand what we used to have? And
there's another book called Pure Human, and that's what he
talks about, is that we're losing our natural human potential mentally, spiritually, physically.
You know, we were like pro athletes of the mind, body,
and spirit. And that's how these ancient civilizations were able
(20:41):
to build things that we can't build now. How they
were able to know things that we are just now discovering,
quantum physics, all of this neuroplasticity, all of this information
that we're just now discovering. Somehow they knew it and
they put it into practice, and you know, we have
to get over the fact that, hey, if we can't
(21:03):
prove it, if we can't you know, do it through
ten scientific studies, then it can't be true. Well, they
knew it and they used it appropriately, and that's what
we're trying to get back to, all right. So all right,
so let's go to the next line. All right, So
when function declines, so here's what happens when you don't
qualify for a disease, then they start to give you
(21:25):
all of these labels. I did a podcast before about
how a lot of things that we call diseases are
really just labels, they're not really diseases. And this is
one of these. Chronic fatigue syndrome. Well, when you're over
here and you don't have the energy to do what
you used to do over here, that's chronic fatigue, all right,
But there's ways to fix that through different types of testing.
(21:48):
Polycistic ovary syndrome that's really unbalanced hardmones and if you
don't test it correctly, you call it some syndrome ADHD.
That can be an overstimulation of the nervous system. You
can and you can correct that. Metabolic syndrome is saying
that you aren't quite sick enough to be diabetic, but
we don't want to wait till you become diabetic. We
(22:10):
got we have to do other things, and thankfully the
GLP ones are kind of trying to head that off.
Irritable balance syndrome, we call it a syndrome because you're
not sick enough to help. Ulcoter colitis are chrome's disease,
but your gut is not functioning well because maybe you
don't have enough good bacteria, maybe you don't have enough
(22:31):
fiber or whatever. But that's what we want to know,
is the function. We just don't want to name it
and name things now. Bipolar disorder a lot of times
that's imbalance in the sympathetic and the pairasympathetic nervous system,
and it can also be an imbalance in hormones. A
lot of women who go through menopause are diagnosed as bipolar. No,
(22:52):
they really have a hormone imbalance and you have to
test it appropriately in order to figure that out. Fibromyalgia
just means that you hurt all over all, right, that's
all it means. Fibro means fibrous tissue, MyoD means muscle,
and algae means pain. So fibromyalgia is not a disease.
It just says that you hurt all over. You want
(23:12):
to know why, and a lot of that is due
to cortisol, and if you don't have enough cortisol. Cortisols
are anti inflammatory, so now everything feels inflamed but sore,
and so you can have fibromyalga from that, and then
what they call subclinical hypothyroidism, which just means that you're
only looking at TSH and I T three. That's a
whole different lecture. But I just want to show you
(23:34):
that because there's so many people and it's so hard
to get into the disease criteria of this two and
a half percent, that they just come up with all
these syndromes. And this is how the pharmaceutical industry markets themselves.
Just look at the commercials they talk about these different
diseases for me, these different drugs for different syndromes. And
(23:56):
so the pharmaceual industry is not really concerned about out
curing anything. They want to get rid of the symptoms
for twenty four hours. That's the goal. So if they
have these syndromes that no one knows the cure for
and no one understands it, you'll keep getting rid of
the symptoms for twenty four hours. So they love to
(24:17):
create these syndromes. And what happens is a lot of
times they create a drug and then they create a
syndrome to match what they have formulated. So I'm just
giving you the behind the scenes information that really shapes medicine.
All right, So, hey, I know it's almost time for break.
(24:39):
Any questions so far, any questions you have, Rebel, I
hope it's not too disjointed since we since we lost
each other for a while.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Now, everything sounds good aside from basically you're saying people
need to be in touch with their bodies.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah, and don't take no for an answer and don't
take normal lab and just shrug off what's going on
with you? Because yeah, you need to obey your intuition.
If something is telling you that something is not right,
you need to hang on to that idea until it
(25:16):
gets resolved. And again, if you go to the same
type of doctor and they keep running the same tests,
you are going to get the same answers. So if
you're not getting the right answers, you need to look
at how can I test differently? And that's what we're
going to talk about when we come back. What other
tests other than those routine tests that everybody runs, What
(25:38):
other tests are available that might be able to give
you an idea of what is going on while you're
over on this side of this curve here, and how
to get you back over here and not wait until
you get down here. All right, So let's let's go
to break.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
When are going to a quick break, So stay with
us as we explore the Ageless blue Print right here

join doctor Taylor for more insights and research on the
ancient secret to better health and a better life in
(27:01):
modern times. Here's your host, doctor Eldred Tayler.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
All right, you know, I hope some of you guys
see my introduction, but you know, I show all of
these pictures that I took from Egypt, because you know,
it is so amazing what they were able to do,
and they were trying to give us this blueprint. So
all of those hieroglyphics and all of those things, they
(27:26):
were trying to tell you a ageless story. And that's
what really opened my eyes up to is that what
is the mission of aceless blueprint? It's really to follow
those blueprints that have worked through thousands and thousands of
years and not be so focused on some new thing
that we just discovered. What we are really discovering is
(27:48):
a new way to understand this ageless information. So that's
what I'm trying to bring to you is how can
we modernize this information that's been around for five six
thousand years, and how can we get our head around
it in a way that we can understand. Because I
show all those pictures to show all of the things
(28:09):
that they could do, all of those temples and all
the hieroglyphics. I tell you, the hieroglyphics were all over
the place. How could they chisel or however did they
make it where it covered these whole the entire walls
and ceilings and all of the posts, all of them
had these hieroglyphics. How in the world could they get
that done. Well, I think they were on this side
of that curve. That's that's my thought. All right, So
(28:31):
do these model versus the folks of allel disease? Model
waits for disease. It treats symptoms, It focuses on labs
and seeks normal.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
All right.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
The functional medicine problem detects early in balance. It restores function,
not just the absence of disease. You want to restore function.
It studies patterns or our rhythms or cycles, and it
seeks optimal. And you know, sometimes this word optimal is
sometimes is used to talk about people who are like,
(29:04):
you know, pumped up and you know, Arnold Schwarzenegger types people.
But no, optimal just means that everything is functioning like
it's supposed to supposed to and your body is running effortlessly.
All right, right, so what blood tests? Miss? Okay, you
can't look in the blood for everything. Okay, there's some
(29:27):
information you can find out in the blood, but sometimes
you have to look other places. You know. It's almost like,
you know, if you lost your keys and you keep
going back to the same place over and over again
looking for your keys, Well, you've already looked there, and
you know it's not there. So that's how you have
to look at blood tests. Okay, I looked at blood
tests and the abnormalities aren't there, so maybe I should
(29:48):
look at something else. So if I have irritable bileel syndrome,
you can't see gut health in the blood. You need
a comprehensive stool analysis. You have to look. So here's
here's how I used to explain how it would explains this.
If you want to know how the heart is beating,
you have to look at the electrical charges that's coming
(30:09):
out of the heart. If you want to know how
the gut is working, you have to look at what
the gut is producing. So you can take what the
gut is producing and you can see, hey, there's abnormalities
and what the gut is producing. So then that helps
you to understand the function. So you can look at
stool and see if there's bacteria or parasites. Are the
(30:30):
enzymes out of balance there, so you look where the
function is all right. Immune a reactivity. Now, there's some
things you can see about your immune system, like your
white blood count and all that, but you can't access
immune reactivity. You need IgG food sensitivity testing. Because inflammation
(30:52):
is like a major component of aging, and so what
you want to know is you want to make sure
that you are not inflamed. And there are some tests
like see reactor protein in the blood that can tell
you you're inflamed, but what is causing the inflammation? And this
IgG food sensitivity testing is different from the testing that
you may have done where they prick your skin. That
(31:14):
is looking for immediate sensitivities where I eat something and
my face wells and all that. You don't need a
lot of sensitive testing for that. But these delayed sensitivities
are these sensitivities that our indication of a leaky gut
is letting is letting things come through the gut that
shouldn't be there. Things like pieces of broccoli are pieces
(31:36):
of wave protein or dairy, and then you build antibodies
to these, and now these antibodies cause inflammation in your
joints or in your thyroid. Almost every autoimmune disease is
connected to your gut. So that's why I put those
two together. Gut and autoimmune disease usually run together, all right.
(31:57):
And then you also you can't measure your detox test capacity.
You need metabolic detox panels. Now, there's some things you
can see whether or not your liver is disease, like
faty liver or your liver enzymes to elevate it, but
really to see how well you're able to detoxify yourself,
they're actually tests for that, okay, And you can do
(32:20):
things like heavy metal testing all of these that would
would decrease your ability to detoxify yourself and could also
cause inflammation and then horm rhythms. My bread and butter
is that you can't look in the blood to look
at hormones because they're fat soluble. You cannot look in
(32:41):
the water soluble blood. So that is a different test.
If you're looking at your hormones and they keep coming
back normal and you have fibroids, you have heavy bleeding,
you have endometriosis, you have menopause, you have puberty, you
have infertility, you are not going to find any abnormalities
in the blood. And that's across the board. You're just
(33:04):
not They're not there in the saliva. That that's where
you have to look. So again, don't keep going to
the same place looking for your keys, and when your
keys aren't there, you have to rethink you have to say,
where else could I have left my keys? So that's
what you have to do with this testing. You're like, Okay,
there's something wrong with this person and I can't find
(33:25):
it in the blood. Let me talk to them a
little bit more. Let me try and figure out what
might be dysfunctioning, and let me test that function. And
there's all types of functional medicine tests. These are just
the beginning. So and you can spend a lot of
money on this functional medicine testing, and a lot of
places make you do all of this testing. But my
(33:46):
thought is, try and talk to the patient long enough
to try and figure out what tests need to be done.
Only do those tests all right, and fix the major
problem first, And a lot of times when you fix
the major problem, the other problems just follow. Let's go
to the next one. Now, I told you you know,
hormones is my bread and butter. I talk about that
at nauseum. But men and women feel differently when their
(34:09):
hormones are out of balance. Women, what primarily happens is
their progesterone drops because they stop ovulating, they stop making
an egg, and then they The first things that I
usually see a patient comes in they say they can't
sleep well, they have difficulty turning their brains off because
they have anxiety. They keep you know, rehashing the day.
(34:29):
And also they get weight game because progesterone helps you
to burn fat for energy, where estrogen makes you store fat.
And then they both well, let's look at men. Now.
Men are often diagnosed with low testosterone because they look
at the low levels in their blood and the blood
and I can talk about this in men because it
doesn't change due to the mental pause. In the blood,
(34:52):
that's the testosterone you see there is the testosterone that's
coming from the testicles. And a lot of times, especially
in younger men and even an older men, the primary
problem is not the low testosterone. The primary problem is
usually the chronic stress. Because I see a lot of
men who come in and they say, hey, I'm on testosterone.
(35:13):
And when I first started it, I felt great, I
felt all this, and then after a while they kind
of faded away. Well, let me tell you why when
men are under chronic stress, and they've seen this even
with the soldiers on the battlefield, is that when they're
under chronic stress, their testosterone goes down. Because you have
to think the body is always trying to conserve energy.
(35:36):
And if you're under chronic stress and you are trying
to conserve energy, if you're a man, your body is
saying I don't need you to waste a lot of
energy on having sex or chasing after women. We're in
survival mode here, so just you know, cool your horses,
you know, calm the flame a little bit. You can't
waste energy. We are in survival mode. You need that
(35:58):
to run or to fight. So a lot of times
it will be fixed the chronic stress, the low testosterone
goes away. Now. I also want to say is that
if you give testosterone and it's not coming from the ovaries,
you're not going to see it in the blood, but
you can't see it in the saliva. So you need
to monitor these patients. So you need to have you
need to make sure you're being monitored through saliva if
(36:20):
you are taking testosterone, whether you're a man or a woman. Now,
and these problems in both sexes calls mood swings, motivation loss,
especially low testosterone and men will cause them to lose
motivation and chronic stress because they're fatigued. You know, I
just talked to a guy who's a big time executive.
And he's sixty seven now and he's retired and he's fatigued,
(36:45):
and he's like, man, I got to retirement and I'm
too tired to enjoy it well. Being executive, he had
a lot of chronic stress. It's sex drivers down, it's
testosterones down. But I told them, because we did a
quarters our curve, his main problem is his cortisol. So
we're going to fix that and then the testosterone problem
will probably go away. So functional medicine is all about
(37:06):
finding that root cause, going back to the beginning, and
that's what aids US blueprint is about what is the
root blueprint? What is the original blueprint print. Let's try
and follow that and not try and come up with
all of this new fancy, you know things that we
just discovered. So the ass blueprint philosophy, you balance is
(37:27):
over levels. We want to balance estrogen progesterone. We want
to balance the sympathetic impair of sympathetic nervous system. It's
not about looking at raw numbers. True health comes from
harmonious balance, not just hitting numbers. So we just don't
want to get to a disease number for sure. Where
now we're a hospital patient, so function is greater than diagnosis.
(37:50):
We care how your body works, not just what disease
you might have. And that's that's key, is I'm telling you,
that's how I was raised. Do you or do you
not have a disease? Do you or do you not?
Need to go in the in the hospital, in the
emergency room room and in ob we were taught, hey, look,
(38:13):
are you or are you not going to deliver? Are
you or are you not going into labor? Then we
want you to go home. Okay. In the emergency room,
have you been shot? Okay? Have you not? Who's been shot?
Who hasn't been shot? Okay? You go over there, You
go there. So that's what we were taught. We were
just taught this separation. It wasn't that this continuum that hey,
(38:35):
how did they get to their emerging room. It was
something that has been going on for a long time.
Let's get to that issue. Now, you can't do that
in the merging room, but that's what doctors in their
office should be doing. So awareness or avoidance, understanding your
body empowers better choices than fear based medicine. And that's
what we're talking about. Be aware, of what is going
(38:56):
on with you and if something feels out about, if
something feels not right, keep pursuing it until you get
an answer that feels right to you. You will know
what feels right to you. I hear this all the time.
Question on patients who decide to do or not do
chemotherapy and radiation for cancer, is that a lot of
(39:20):
them will say it didn't feel right what the doctor
was telling me. It didn't feel right that they said, hey,
what you eat doesn't have any impact on this treatment,
that vitamin C might hurt you. You know that doing
whatever you are doing, trying to help yourself change your diet.
It didn't feel right when the doctor told me that
(39:41):
that wasn't important. Yes, listen to your intuition, okay, Because
if the doctors are like me, and I don't think
medical education has changed very much. They were brought up
just like I was, They were taught just like I was.
Because in medicine is see one, do one, teach one.
Whatever you saw, you did, and that's what you taught.
(40:02):
And that's why medicine changes at less than a snail's
pace because of that. See one, do one, teach one.
Philosophy it's very hard to break that pattern. So here's
the key insight in a sick culture. Normal isn't the goal.
Vitality is. So you know, I tell you I'm sixty five,
(40:24):
and I see patients who are younger than me, and
I'm like, wow, that's not how it's supposed to be.
You know. I see people at the grocery I know
they're either my age or younger, and I see that
they have lost their vitality, And I feel like the
people in the grocery store. They think it's normal to
(40:47):
have to have one of these little writing things to
go around the grocery store. They think it's because they
see they have all of these chairs out there that
have that are Motorizedly like, okay, that must be normal
when you get to the point, we can't. And so
that's what we have to reframe our mind. We have
to get rid of that myth of normal. Just because
(41:09):
this is a great one I like to use. Okay, constipation.
What's the definition of constipation? Okay, so we all think
constipation is not having a bowt movement. All right, that's
when we start. Now, true constipation is if you have
less than two bow movements. A day. Now most people like,
what in the heck are you talking about? If I
(41:29):
have two bow movements a week, I think I'm doing good. Yes,
that has become normal because we eat so much processed food,
we have such a low fiber diet. People and cultures
who eat from the ground or eat from the earth
and have a lot of fiber, they will have two, three,
four large bow movements a day. All right. I used
(41:50):
to have these statistics where how many grams of poop
you know, and how different we are than other people
because they eat high fiber they eat you know, they
don't eat process foods. So even our definition of constipation
is that medical constipation is having less than one vowel
movement a day. But that's just normal. But that's not optimal.
(42:14):
That's not showing that your gut is functioning properly. What
really should happen is that you shouldn't have food in
your body for more than twenty four hours, and you
should have this reflex called the gastrocolic reflex, so that
if you eat breakfast today, breakfast from yesterday should be
coming out the other end lunch today, Lunch should be
coming out the other end from yesterday. So that's what
(42:36):
I'm talking about. We have been brainwashed into this myth
of normal and allowing sickness to be normal, and I'm
trying to change that and get you to be aware
of that. So in the Ageless Blueprint in the school,
we talk about all of this, you guys, That's why
I'm trying to get you to come to that, so
you can be aware, so you can discover what your
(42:58):
blood work is missing. We do the life of hormone testing,
attract your true hormon rhythms throughout the day so we
can see your quarters occur and we pulled it together
to see how much esogen and progesterone and are they
in balance. We can do gut and immune testing understand
what's really happening in your digestive system. There's there's stool
tests you can do. We can actually send that out
(43:19):
to you and we can go with the results. There's
food sensitivity testing that you can look and see is
my gut leaking and causing me out of immune problem
and then functional detocs about it. And this is just
a few of the things we do. I have all
these gadgets that we can recommend to look at your
This is a human band. It looks at your longevity statistics.
(43:43):
It can tell you what your biological age is. I'm
going to do in my school group, We're going to
have an upper level lesson where we talk about all
these bio hacking devices which allows you to make changes
and see the results almost instantaneously, so you know what's
working for you and you know what's not. So I
have a lot of things that we have planned in
(44:04):
our ages Gluprint School. I would encourage you to join
it now. You can join the community for free. I
give an ageless tip of the day, and usually I'll
post something two or three times a week just to
let you in on some of the things that I'm learning.
We also have a tier where it has these courses
you can take. One is called Harmone Clarity, the other
(44:26):
one is called the Five Pillars of Ages Living. The
other one is called Mindset Master. You get all of
those courses, it's ten bucks a month, and we can
do a question and answer like once a month, but
I also answer questions in that group. Then we're going
to have a higher level group where we're going to
have harmone health coaches, and we're also going to have
(44:47):
kind of a VIP level where we really work together
and try and get you functioning and get you to
where that Ageles blueprint, where we're functioning on that higher level,
on a consistent base. That's what we really want to
try and get back to. So I know we only
have a few minutes left. I don't know, Rebel, if
you have some questions or we have Did we have
(45:09):
any questions? But I hope I'm getting it across that
There the information on how to live better, it's out there.
It's always been there. We just have to remember it.
We have to reclaim it. And I think we can
live on the other side of that fall shaped curve
and we don't have to slowly deteriorate into a disease state.
All right, So any final words, Rebel.
Speaker 5 (45:31):
Well, you had a question about when you eat something
you mentioned You eat breakfast and then breakfast from yesterday
comes out. That's not the way it's supposed to happen, right,
You eat breakfast in a few hours later it comes out?
How it? How was it?
Speaker 4 (45:44):
Actually? No, here's what I'm saying. So the transit tam
from what you eat to having a boid movement should
be around twenty four hours. So it's called like the
transit tank because the longer wayte stays in your body,
the more you are rehabs or up those toxins. So
that's why I'm saying constipation is so bad. So if
you've got these toxins that it's just like leaving your
(46:06):
trash in the house. Eventually it begins to stink, it
begins to attract bugs that you don't want. So that's
that's what we're talking about. You don't want waste products
to be sitting in your gut, you know, for two, three,
four days. So that's what I'm saying. I'm saying, breakfast
from yesterday all of what. I'm not saying you have
(46:26):
diarrhea from yesterday. I'm just saying that your body has
absorbed all the nutrients, and now the waste from yesterday's
breakfast should be coming out, okay, and then the waste
from yesterday's lunch should be coming out somewhere around lunchtime.
And sometimes people have about one or two or three
bob movements at the beginning of the day. But all
I'm saying is is that waste needs to keep moving.
(46:48):
It doesn't need to stay in your gut, all right,
So I hope I cleared that up.
Speaker 5 (46:52):
Yes, thank you?
Speaker 4 (46:53):
Okay, all right, all right, so I know we're over time,
so we'll see you next week.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Here's your those, Doctor Eldrid Taylor.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. I am doctor Taylor,
the hard one doctor and the Spiritual MD, and I
want to welcome you here to the Ageless Floprint where
we try to connect ageless wisdom with modern science. And
we're really going to do that today because what I'll
tell you, what I hear over and over again in
(01:25):
my office and on social media is why do my
labs seem normal and I feel so out of balance
or I feel so unwell? And so today we're going
to talk about what a great book that I read.
I've actually read it a couple of times, and it's
called the Myth of Normal. Is that when we say
(01:49):
normal labs, I want you to really understand what normal means.
It doesn't mean optimal, it doesn't mean you feel great,
it doesn't mean that everything's perfect. It just means that
you are normal in this particular society of population. It
is only saying that you fit into this bell shaped curve.
(02:11):
I'm going to talk to you about that. And anybody
who's taking statistics or anything in high school, they know
about the bell shaped curve. So that's what we're talking
about normal. So you have to think if most of
the people in a population are not well, then unwell
becomes normal because that's where the biggest group of people is,
(02:33):
is they're in this state of wellness or health or
sickness or whatever. So all of a sudden, that becomes normal,
and you get judged by that awkward sense of normal,
that unnormal sense, or that unhealthy sense of normal. So
we're going to talk about that because I was trained
in that thought process. You have been conditioned to think
(02:55):
like that, that if I'm like everyone else, then I'm normal.
That's not true. If you're in a society that is
sick and unhealthy and you're like everyone else, that means
you're sick and unhealthy. And that's how these labs are created.
This is how these normal ranges are created. So let's
go to the slade so you can maybe understand this
(03:17):
a little bit better, I hope. All right, So why
do I feel terrible even when your labs are normal? Okay?
Why do you feel terrible even when your labs are normal?
Because normal in medicine and in modern life has stopped
meaning healthy. Your body is trying to tell you something,
but conventional testing keeps missing the signals. And there are
(03:38):
these routine tests that we do we're going to talk about,
and they're routine because they're routine, and these routine tests
they have built up this normal range. And so if
the routine tests aren't telling you what you need to
know so you can take action, then we have to
start looking at some unroutine tests. Because the routine test
(04:00):
aren't telling you what you need to know. So we
need to look at some unroutine tests, so we're going
to get to that also, So let's go to the
next lab. Now I would recommend this book. It's a
little bit technical, but it's a little bit not technical
because it's going to talk about things that you think
are normal that really aren't normal. This is this is
a great book. So in the myth of normal, what
(04:22):
he talks about is sickness has become standard, and even
in medicine, I talk about the standard of care. The
standard of care in medicine is what are most reasonable
physicians doing in your area. So if most reasonable physicians
are doing things that are not good for you, you know,
(04:43):
like if most reasonable physicians are recommending chemo and radiation
for everyone, then that becomes the standard of care, whether
it is the right thing for you or not, but
doctors have to follow that standard of care. So it's
the same way where sickness has become the standard, where
people have in diabetes or high blood pressure are pcos.
(05:06):
It has become the standard because so many people have
these conditions, but that is not normal. That just means
that you are part of a population that has these issues.
So dysfunction looks ordinary. So the doctor Matte calls this
the myth of normal, a world of disregulated. The world
(05:28):
is so disregulated that dysfunction appears ordinary. And here's the problem.
That is how I got trained. So conventional medicine compares
you to an already unwell population perpetuating the cycle. So
most of the time in medical school and in residency,
you were dealing with people who are in the hospital.
(05:48):
So these people are sick enough to be in the hospital.
And that's how we got trained. And so here's how
you have to think. I used to go in my
office every day and I would see the obee patients,
and of course in nine months or so they would
have a baby. But then what would happen is is
that I would have these UYN patients and they would
(06:10):
have fibroids. And so what do we do. Well, we
have to wait until they're sick enough to go to
the hospital for a hysterectomy, are sick enough or have
enough pain to go to the hospital to have a laparoscopy.
So we would see you over and over again in
the office, one year after another one until you were
sick enough to have a problem that we knew how
(06:33):
to treat because we didn't do a whole lot of
office work. We didn't take care of a lot of
non hospital patients, so we don't really know what to do.
We weren't really taught what to do with people who
are trying to be healthy. We just knew how to
trioge people who needed who were sick. So you have
(06:56):
to think about when you go to the emergency room,
they triage you to see who's the sick person. So
in my office, and I didn't realize this until I
got out of this, I was really triaging people. I
was just going through people until I could find someone
who needed surgery or needed some procedure, because that is
how you make money. It's a business. I didn't realize
(07:19):
that's what I was doing, but you get caught up
into it. And so I'm like, I did not get
into medicine just to find the people who needed to
go to the hospital. I got into medicine to make
people healthy or well. And so I had to change
what I was doing in order to accomplish that goal
because what I was taught was not working. And I've
(07:42):
said this before, and the first person who I saw
not working on was my wife. Is that when she
was taking birth control pills and all that stuff, trying
to balance her hormones, and I didn't even thinking of
it as balancing, it was just trying to stop the symptoms.
Well it didn't stop the symptoms. It made the symptoms worse.
So that's when we me and my wife both start
(08:03):
to try to figure out how can we make ourselves better?
And this was some thirty years ago, and so this
is the culmination of that. Okay, so why doctors say
you're normal? The myth inside medicine. Physicians are educated within
the same cultural myth of normal that affects all of us.
So this is, you know, just doctors. They're just looking
(08:24):
at lab numbers to see if they fall into the
normal range. They're not looking up to see what the
patient looks like. Okay, so that's the disconnect. We look
at numbers, we look at X ray's, we look at MRIs,
but we very seldom look up to see the patient
and see who they are and what are they going
(08:44):
through and how it's stress at home and at work
affecting them. We're only looking at these normal these these
normal ranges. So we're looking at the average of sick populations.
Lab ranges reflect average sick populations, not thriving humans living optimally.
Because you got to think most of the people who
are in these studies are are are getting labs wrong.
(09:08):
Most of them are not healthy. Most most of them
are going to the lab because they think something's wrong
with them. And so you're going to get this normal
shifted for the unhealthy people the people who are healthy.
I you know, you see people who are healthy, They're
not going to the getting the blood drong or going
(09:28):
to the doctor or whatever. They are just being healthy.
So if you don't meet diagnostic criteria, you labeled normal.
But normal only means you're not yet disease. That's why
I was saying, I would I would go through the
office and hey, if the patient didn't have something that
I could fix with birth control pills or surgery or antidepressants.
(09:50):
I didn't know what else to do. I didn't know
what to tell them to eat. I didn't know how
to tell them to test if their gut was working.
I didn't know how to tell them to test if
they are hard, loans were balanced. I did not learn
so life of testing while I was in my residency.
I'd learned all of that seven or eight years after
I had been in practice and figured out that a
lot of the stuff that I learned does not work right.
(10:13):
So pathology over potential. This keeps doctors focused on pathology
instead of potential. So we're only looking at what is diseased.
We're not looking at how to make the rest of
you healthy. And I don't I don't want to. I
don't want to condemn one particular, one particular subspecialty. But
(10:37):
this is what I see in oncology is that when
we talk about pathology over potential, is that oncologists are
so great at trying to kill that cancer, to radiate it,
to to chemotherapy it, you know, do whatever it needs
to kill that cancer, but again not looking up to
(10:59):
see how killing the cancer could also be killing the
patient and what I try to do. I'm not saying
you shouldn't do those things, but then you also want
to see the potential of them recovering from all of
that treatment, and how can I keep them from being
from deteriorating while they're doing the treatment. So that's why
(11:20):
we try to offer support to cancer patients with vitamin
SEE and we're telling them about healthy diets and doing
the signatarity tests so we can find things early, so
we can look up and not look down at some
lab numbers or some X ray or some MRI, look
up and see the patient and see who they are
and talk to them, and you will get so much
(11:42):
information if you will just pay attention to the patient.
And I love talking to patients. I love hearing their stories,
and I love trying to make sense out of a
story that they have felt confused about because they keep
getting these normal labs. All right, So what does normal
(12:03):
labs really mean? Normal labs were built to diagnose the disease.
That's what I'm trying to get across to you. Hey,
they were trying to see who is diseased enough that
we have to intervene in a hospital or we have
to intervene with some high tech procedure. Okay, Now, in
(12:23):
order to be diseased, according to your labs, you had
to be two standard deviations outside of the mean. And
I know that's a lot of worse, but I can
guarantee you somewhere in your education you learned about two
standard deviations from the mean in this standard and this
(12:45):
bell shaped curve, So feel awful. Test a fan, so
you can feel terrible and still test a fan according
to conventional standards. All right, you're not yet sick enough.
That's what I told you. We were primarily hospital little focused.
I spent most of my time in the hospital. I
did not spend this is in my residency, in my training,
(13:07):
we do not spend a lot of time in the
office talking to patients who are just living day by day,
trying to get by. They're not sick enough to go
to the hospital, they're not sick enough for some surgery,
they're not sick enough for some high priced medication. So
you just say, hey, you're normal. I don't I'm not
quite sure what's going on with you, but according to
(13:30):
this everything seems fine. Well, here's the problem. I said this.
Often the doctor keeps saying you're not sick, and you
keep telling the doctor you're not well, and both of
you are correct, and that is what causes all of
the friction and confusion and frustration. The doctors are frustrated
with you because you keep coming in saying something's wrong
(13:51):
with you and they can't find anything, and you're frustrated
with them because you keep coming in and you know
something is wrong with you and the doctor can't find anything.
When that happens, that that makes you a perfect person
for me to see because now I know you don't
have a disease, and I'm almost sure you have a
(14:13):
functional problem not a disease. So now they've ruled out
all of the serious conditions, so now I can look
at all right, let's do some different testing. Let's look
at functional testing, not disease testing, and we can see
why you're not functioning like you want to. All right, Okay,
so I'm gonna spend a little time on this one, right,
(14:36):
So this is what I want to show you. When
function declines but not enough for disease, medicine creates these labels.
So this is a bell shaped curve. So these are people,
all right. So what they do is they draw the
blood from all of these people. All right. Now again,
would you say that our society is sick or that
our society is healthy? So you're going if you say
(14:57):
our society is sick, then here where most of the
people are, they're still going to be not quite well, okay,
because you just have to think, let's say one hundred
years ago, when we weren't eating processed foods. We didn't
have all these chemicals in our air and our water,
and people weren't dying of heart attacks back then. They
(15:19):
may have been dying of infection, but they weren't dying
of heart attack. They weren't dying from chronic diseases, all right.
So you have to think that before this curve may
have been over here where there were a lot of
healthy people. So you have to think this is the
healthy part. These are the sick people. These are the
super healthy people. So you got to think that before
normal was over here. So if you were outside of
(15:41):
the normal range, I'm sorry. So if you were outside
of the normal range, hey, you were still doing pretty
good because everybody was over here more healthy. Now, if
you have a sick population, it's going to move over here.
So you're going to think that all of these people
who have normal labs that they're healthy, but they're not
normally sick. So and the only way you can be
(16:03):
qualified as a disease is to go way over here,
all right. So you have to be in this two
and a half percent in order to be on the
low side of sick. And you have to be at
this two and a half percent to be on the
high side that your levels are too high, like hyper
thyroidism would be over here. Hyper thyroidism would be over
(16:25):
here all right. Now to high blood sugar be over here,
to low of a blood sugar be over here. So
that's how that works. Now let's look at this and
I don't know we can focus, but let me see
if this will No, I wanted to see if that
will get bigger. So this is what I want you
to see, is that when things are going right, this
(16:46):
should be where people are at their healthiest. Okay, where
they are functioning well. The majority of people are healthy.
They're not you know, super athletes or anything like the
people over here, and they're all so they're not you know, sick.
But so this is where health should be, all right.
(17:06):
And so if you are over here and you've spent
your life over here on this side, where you've been
either normally healthy or a little bit of a health
you know, fanatic, and these would be like the professional
athletes over here, all right. If you've lived your life
over here and now through poor eating and being stressed
(17:27):
too much and not sleeping, well, now you're over here
and now your gut doesn't work. You know all of
these are okay, great, Yeah, so now your gut doesn't
work all of these, so you are now over here. Well,
just because you're not over here doesn't mean you don't
need some help, or that you're not you know that
(17:47):
you're not well. You are not well. You are not
in the place where you normally are. And and this
is kind of what I wanted to get this in
because I had a sense of clarity today is that
that's what the age's blueprint, I think is about. Because
when I went to Egypt and I saw how advanced
(18:07):
they were, how they could build these temples and all
of this, and I began to realize that, hey, maybe
we are not the most technologically advanced, maybe we are
not the most the healthiest, the greatest civilization that has
ever lived. Is that what I believe is that back
(18:29):
when things were less artificial or process like they were.
I believe that in ancient societies people lived over here, okay,
that they ate well, they understood, they were connected with
the higher power, they they were functioning at a much
higher level. I think that what has happened over time
(18:53):
is that we have lost this ability. We have lost
it because the way we eat, and what our environment is,
the stress we are so now we don't have people
over here at all. We have lost this at all.
And I'm trying to go back and look at what
was happening, what kind of things were happening. And the
reason why I say Age was blueprint is because they
(19:15):
wrote all this down with hieroglyphics. I've been looking at
these videos about these ancient writings, these ancient scripts that
have been found in monasteries in Peru, and they understood
how to maximize human potential. And I think this is
what was happening over here. And we're living over here
(19:36):
and we call it normal, and so we are not
living the lives that we were meant to live. And
that's kind of what happened. That's kind of what has
happened to me from going from sixty three to sixty
four to sixty five. I am trying to rediscover my
human potential, the potential that they wrote about, the potential
(19:57):
that they built, you know, these nesteries up on these
high mountains. She's like, how in the world could they
build that up on this high mountain. I don't know,
but I believe that in the past we had the
ability to do those things, and we still are trying
to figure out what is going on, all right, So
that's that's what Agel's blueprint is about. How can we
(20:19):
how can we understand what we used to have? And
there's another book called Pure Human, and that's what he
talks about, is that we're losing our natural human potential mentally, spiritually, physically.
You know, we were like pro athletes of the mind, body,
and spirit. And that's how these ancient civilizations were able
(20:41):
to build things that we can't build now. How they
were able to know things that we are just now discovering,
quantum physics, all of this neuroplasticity, all of this information
that we're just now discovering. Somehow they knew it and
they put it into practice, and you know, we have
to get over the fact that, hey, if we can't
(21:03):
prove it, if we can't you know, do it through
ten scientific studies, then it can't be true. Well, they
knew it and they used it appropriately, and that's what
we're trying to get back to, all right. So all right,
so let's go to the next line. All right, So
when function declines, so here's what happens when you don't
qualify for a disease, then they start to give you
(21:25):
all of these labels. I did a podcast before about
how a lot of things that we call diseases are
really just labels, they're not really diseases. And this is
one of these. Chronic fatigue syndrome. Well, when you're over
here and you don't have the energy to do what
you used to do over here, that's chronic fatigue, all right,
But there's ways to fix that through different types of testing.
(21:48):
Polycistic ovary syndrome that's really unbalanced hardmones and if you
don't test it correctly, you call it some syndrome ADHD.
That can be an overstimulation of the nervous system. You
can and you can correct that. Metabolic syndrome is saying
that you aren't quite sick enough to be diabetic, but
we don't want to wait till you become diabetic. We
(22:10):
got we have to do other things, and thankfully the
GLP ones are kind of trying to head that off.
Irritable balance syndrome, we call it a syndrome because you're
not sick enough to help. Ulcoter colitis are chrome's disease,
but your gut is not functioning well because maybe you
don't have enough good bacteria, maybe you don't have enough
(22:31):
fiber or whatever. But that's what we want to know,
is the function. We just don't want to name it
and name things now. Bipolar disorder a lot of times
that's imbalance in the sympathetic and the pairasympathetic nervous system,
and it can also be an imbalance in hormones. A
lot of women who go through menopause are diagnosed as bipolar. No,
(22:52):
they really have a hormone imbalance and you have to
test it appropriately in order to figure that out. Fibromyalgia
just means that you hurt all over all, right, that's
all it means. Fibro means fibrous tissue, MyoD means muscle,
and algae means pain. So fibromyalgia is not a disease.
It just says that you hurt all over. You want
(23:12):
to know why, and a lot of that is due
to cortisol, and if you don't have enough cortisol. Cortisols
are anti inflammatory, so now everything feels inflamed but sore,
and so you can have fibromyalga from that, and then
what they call subclinical hypothyroidism, which just means that you're
only looking at TSH and I T three. That's a
whole different lecture. But I just want to show you
(23:34):
that because there's so many people and it's so hard
to get into the disease criteria of this two and
a half percent, that they just come up with all
these syndromes. And this is how the pharmaceutical industry markets themselves.
Just look at the commercials they talk about these different
diseases for me, these different drugs for different syndromes. And
(23:56):
so the pharmaceual industry is not really concerned about out
curing anything. They want to get rid of the symptoms
for twenty four hours. That's the goal. So if they
have these syndromes that no one knows the cure for
and no one understands it, you'll keep getting rid of
the symptoms for twenty four hours. So they love to
(24:17):
create these syndromes. And what happens is a lot of
times they create a drug and then they create a
syndrome to match what they have formulated. So I'm just
giving you the behind the scenes information that really shapes medicine.
All right, So, hey, I know it's almost time for break.
(24:39):
Any questions so far, any questions you have, Rebel, I
hope it's not too disjointed since we since we lost
each other for a while.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Now, everything sounds good aside from basically you're saying people
need to be in touch with their bodies.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah, and don't take no for an answer and don't
take normal lab and just shrug off what's going on
with you? Because yeah, you need to obey your intuition.
If something is telling you that something is not right,
you need to hang on to that idea until it
(25:16):
gets resolved. And again, if you go to the same
type of doctor and they keep running the same tests,
you are going to get the same answers. So if
you're not getting the right answers, you need to look
at how can I test differently? And that's what we're
going to talk about when we come back. What other
tests other than those routine tests that everybody runs, What
(25:38):
other tests are available that might be able to give
you an idea of what is going on while you're
over on this side of this curve here, and how
to get you back over here and not wait until
you get down here. All right, So let's let's go
to break.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
When are going to a quick break, So stay with

join doctor Taylor for more insights and research on the
ancient secret to better health and a better life in
(27:01):
modern times. Here's your host, doctor Eldred Tayler.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
All right, you know, I hope some of you guys
see my introduction, but you know, I show all of
these pictures that I took from Egypt, because you know,
it is so amazing what they were able to do,
and they were trying to give us this blueprint. So
all of those hieroglyphics and all of those things, they
(27:26):
were trying to tell you a ageless story. And that's
what really opened my eyes up to is that what
is the mission of aceless blueprint? It's really to follow
those blueprints that have worked through thousands and thousands of
years and not be so focused on some new thing
that we just discovered. What we are really discovering is
(27:48):
a new way to understand this ageless information. So that's
what I'm trying to bring to you is how can
we modernize this information that's been around for five six
thousand years, and how can we get our head around
it in a way that we can understand. Because I
show all those pictures to show all of the things
(28:09):
that they could do, all of those temples and all
the hieroglyphics. I tell you, the hieroglyphics were all over
the place. How could they chisel or however did they
make it where it covered these whole the entire walls
and ceilings and all of the posts, all of them
had these hieroglyphics. How in the world could they get
that done. Well, I think they were on this side
of that curve. That's that's my thought. All right, So
(28:31):
do these model versus the folks of allel disease? Model
waits for disease. It treats symptoms, It focuses on labs
and seeks normal.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
All right.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
The functional medicine problem detects early in balance. It restores function,
not just the absence of disease. You want to restore function.
It studies patterns or our rhythms or cycles, and it
seeks optimal. And you know, sometimes this word optimal is
sometimes is used to talk about people who are like,
(29:04):
you know, pumped up and you know, Arnold Schwarzenegger types people.
But no, optimal just means that everything is functioning like
it's supposed to supposed to and your body is running effortlessly.
All right, right, so what blood tests? Miss? Okay, you
can't look in the blood for everything. Okay, there's some
(29:27):
information you can find out in the blood, but sometimes
you have to look other places. You know. It's almost like,
you know, if you lost your keys and you keep
going back to the same place over and over again
looking for your keys, Well, you've already looked there, and
you know it's not there. So that's how you have
to look at blood tests. Okay, I looked at blood
tests and the abnormalities aren't there, so maybe I should
(29:48):
look at something else. So if I have irritable bileel syndrome,
you can't see gut health in the blood. You need
a comprehensive stool analysis. You have to look. So here's
here's how I used to explain how it would explains this.
If you want to know how the heart is beating,
you have to look at the electrical charges that's coming
(30:09):
out of the heart. If you want to know how
the gut is working, you have to look at what
the gut is producing. So you can take what the
gut is producing and you can see, hey, there's abnormalities
and what the gut is producing. So then that helps
you to understand the function. So you can look at
stool and see if there's bacteria or parasites. Are the
(30:30):
enzymes out of balance there, so you look where the
function is all right. Immune a reactivity. Now, there's some
things you can see about your immune system, like your
white blood count and all that, but you can't access
immune reactivity. You need IgG food sensitivity testing. Because inflammation
(30:52):
is like a major component of aging, and so what
you want to know is you want to make sure
that you are not inflamed. And there are some tests
like see reactor protein in the blood that can tell
you you're inflamed, but what is causing the inflammation? And this
IgG food sensitivity testing is different from the testing that
you may have done where they prick your skin. That
(31:14):
is looking for immediate sensitivities where I eat something and
my face wells and all that. You don't need a
lot of sensitive testing for that. But these delayed sensitivities
are these sensitivities that our indication of a leaky gut
is letting is letting things come through the gut that
shouldn't be there. Things like pieces of broccoli are pieces
(31:36):
of wave protein or dairy, and then you build antibodies
to these, and now these antibodies cause inflammation in your
joints or in your thyroid. Almost every autoimmune disease is
connected to your gut. So that's why I put those
two together. Gut and autoimmune disease usually run together, all right.
(31:57):
And then you also you can't measure your detox test capacity.
You need metabolic detox panels. Now, there's some things you
can see whether or not your liver is disease, like
faty liver or your liver enzymes to elevate it, but
really to see how well you're able to detoxify yourself,
they're actually tests for that, okay, And you can do
(32:20):
things like heavy metal testing all of these that would
would decrease your ability to detoxify yourself and could also
cause inflammation and then horm rhythms. My bread and butter
is that you can't look in the blood to look
at hormones because they're fat soluble. You cannot look in
(32:41):
the water soluble blood. So that is a different test.
If you're looking at your hormones and they keep coming
back normal and you have fibroids, you have heavy bleeding,
you have endometriosis, you have menopause, you have puberty, you
have infertility, you are not going to find any abnormalities
in the blood. And that's across the board. You're just
(33:04):
not They're not there in the saliva. That that's where
you have to look. So again, don't keep going to
the same place looking for your keys, and when your
keys aren't there, you have to rethink you have to say,
where else could I have left my keys? So that's
what you have to do with this testing. You're like, Okay,
there's something wrong with this person and I can't find
(33:25):
it in the blood. Let me talk to them a
little bit more. Let me try and figure out what
might be dysfunctioning, and let me test that function. And
there's all types of functional medicine tests. These are just
the beginning. So and you can spend a lot of
money on this functional medicine testing, and a lot of
places make you do all of this testing. But my
(33:46):
thought is, try and talk to the patient long enough
to try and figure out what tests need to be done.
Only do those tests all right, and fix the major
problem first, And a lot of times when you fix
the major problem, the other problems just follow. Let's go
to the next one. Now, I told you you know,
hormones is my bread and butter. I talk about that
at nauseum. But men and women feel differently when their
(34:09):
hormones are out of balance. Women, what primarily happens is
their progesterone drops because they stop ovulating, they stop making
an egg, and then they The first things that I
usually see a patient comes in they say they can't
sleep well, they have difficulty turning their brains off because
they have anxiety. They keep you know, rehashing the day.
(34:29):
And also they get weight game because progesterone helps you
to burn fat for energy, where estrogen makes you store fat.
And then they both well, let's look at men. Now.
Men are often diagnosed with low testosterone because they look
at the low levels in their blood and the blood
and I can talk about this in men because it
doesn't change due to the mental pause. In the blood,
(34:52):
that's the testosterone you see there is the testosterone that's
coming from the testicles. And a lot of times, especially
in younger men and even an older men, the primary
problem is not the low testosterone. The primary problem is
usually the chronic stress. Because I see a lot of
men who come in and they say, hey, I'm on testosterone.
(35:13):
And when I first started it, I felt great, I
felt all this, and then after a while they kind
of faded away. Well, let me tell you why when
men are under chronic stress, and they've seen this even
with the soldiers on the battlefield, is that when they're
under chronic stress, their testosterone goes down. Because you have
to think the body is always trying to conserve energy.
(35:36):
And if you're under chronic stress and you are trying
to conserve energy, if you're a man, your body is
saying I don't need you to waste a lot of
energy on having sex or chasing after women. We're in
survival mode here, so just you know, cool your horses,
you know, calm the flame a little bit. You can't
waste energy. We are in survival mode. You need that
(35:58):
to run or to fight. So a lot of times
it will be fixed the chronic stress, the low testosterone
goes away. Now. I also want to say is that
if you give testosterone and it's not coming from the ovaries,
you're not going to see it in the blood, but
you can't see it in the saliva. So you need
to monitor these patients. So you need to have you
need to make sure you're being monitored through saliva if
(36:20):
you are taking testosterone, whether you're a man or a woman. Now,
and these problems in both sexes calls mood swings, motivation loss,
especially low testosterone and men will cause them to lose
motivation and chronic stress because they're fatigued. You know, I
just talked to a guy who's a big time executive.
And he's sixty seven now and he's retired and he's fatigued,
(36:45):
and he's like, man, I got to retirement and I'm
too tired to enjoy it well. Being executive, he had
a lot of chronic stress. It's sex drivers down, it's
testosterones down. But I told them, because we did a
quarters our curve, his main problem is his cortisol. So
we're going to fix that and then the testosterone problem
will probably go away. So functional medicine is all about
(37:06):
finding that root cause, going back to the beginning, and
that's what aids US blueprint is about what is the
root blueprint? What is the original blueprint print. Let's try
and follow that and not try and come up with
all of this new fancy, you know things that we
just discovered. So the ass blueprint philosophy, you balance is
(37:27):
over levels. We want to balance estrogen progesterone. We want
to balance the sympathetic impair of sympathetic nervous system. It's
not about looking at raw numbers. True health comes from
harmonious balance, not just hitting numbers. So we just don't
want to get to a disease number for sure. Where
now we're a hospital patient, so function is greater than diagnosis.
(37:50):
We care how your body works, not just what disease
you might have. And that's that's key, is I'm telling you,
that's how I was raised. Do you or do you
not have a disease? Do you or do you not?
Need to go in the in the hospital, in the
emergency room room and in ob we were taught, hey, look,
(38:13):
are you or are you not going to deliver? Are
you or are you not going into labor? Then we
want you to go home. Okay. In the emergency room,
have you been shot? Okay? Have you not? Who's been shot?
Who hasn't been shot? Okay? You go over there, You
go there. So that's what we were taught. We were
just taught this separation. It wasn't that this continuum that hey,
(38:35):
how did they get to their emerging room. It was
something that has been going on for a long time.
Let's get to that issue. Now, you can't do that
in the merging room, but that's what doctors in their
office should be doing. So awareness or avoidance, understanding your
body empowers better choices than fear based medicine. And that's
what we're talking about. Be aware, of what is going
(38:56):
on with you and if something feels out about, if
something feels not right, keep pursuing it until you get
an answer that feels right to you. You will know
what feels right to you. I hear this all the time.
Question on patients who decide to do or not do
chemotherapy and radiation for cancer, is that a lot of
(39:20):
them will say it didn't feel right what the doctor
was telling me. It didn't feel right that they said, hey,
what you eat doesn't have any impact on this treatment,
that vitamin C might hurt you. You know that doing
whatever you are doing, trying to help yourself change your diet.
It didn't feel right when the doctor told me that
(39:41):
that wasn't important. Yes, listen to your intuition, okay, Because
if the doctors are like me, and I don't think
medical education has changed very much. They were brought up
just like I was, They were taught just like I was.
Because in medicine is see one, do one, teach one.
Whatever you saw, you did, and that's what you taught.
(40:02):
And that's why medicine changes at less than a snail's
pace because of that. See one, do one, teach one.
Philosophy it's very hard to break that pattern. So here's
the key insight in a sick culture. Normal isn't the goal.
Vitality is. So you know, I tell you I'm sixty five,
(40:24):
and I see patients who are younger than me, and
I'm like, wow, that's not how it's supposed to be.
You know. I see people at the grocery I know
they're either my age or younger, and I see that
they have lost their vitality, And I feel like the
people in the grocery store. They think it's normal to
(40:47):
have to have one of these little writing things to
go around the grocery store. They think it's because they
see they have all of these chairs out there that
have that are Motorizedly like, okay, that must be normal
when you get to the point, we can't. And so
that's what we have to reframe our mind. We have
to get rid of that myth of normal. Just because
(41:09):
this is a great one I like to use. Okay, constipation.
What's the definition of constipation? Okay, so we all think
constipation is not having a bowt movement. All right, that's
when we start. Now, true constipation is if you have
less than two bow movements. A day. Now most people like,
what in the heck are you talking about? If I
(41:29):
have two bow movements a week, I think I'm doing good. Yes,
that has become normal because we eat so much processed food,
we have such a low fiber diet. People and cultures
who eat from the ground or eat from the earth
and have a lot of fiber, they will have two, three,
four large bow movements a day. All right. I used
(41:50):
to have these statistics where how many grams of poop
you know, and how different we are than other people
because they eat high fiber they eat you know, they
don't eat process foods. So even our definition of constipation
is that medical constipation is having less than one vowel
movement a day. But that's just normal. But that's not optimal.
(42:14):
That's not showing that your gut is functioning properly. What
really should happen is that you shouldn't have food in
your body for more than twenty four hours, and you
should have this reflex called the gastrocolic reflex, so that
if you eat breakfast today, breakfast from yesterday should be
coming out the other end lunch today, Lunch should be
coming out the other end from yesterday. So that's what
(42:36):
I'm talking about. We have been brainwashed into this myth
of normal and allowing sickness to be normal, and I'm
trying to change that and get you to be aware
of that. So in the Ageless Blueprint in the school,
we talk about all of this, you guys, That's why
I'm trying to get you to come to that, so
you can be aware, so you can discover what your
(42:58):
blood work is missing. We do the life of hormone testing,
attract your true hormon rhythms throughout the day so we
can see your quarters occur and we pulled it together
to see how much esogen and progesterone and are they
in balance. We can do gut and immune testing understand
what's really happening in your digestive system. There's there's stool
tests you can do. We can actually send that out
(43:19):
to you and we can go with the results. There's
food sensitivity testing that you can look and see is
my gut leaking and causing me out of immune problem
and then functional detocs about it. And this is just
a few of the things we do. I have all
these gadgets that we can recommend to look at your
This is a human band. It looks at your longevity statistics.
(43:43):
It can tell you what your biological age is. I'm
going to do in my school group, We're going to
have an upper level lesson where we talk about all
these bio hacking devices which allows you to make changes
and see the results almost instantaneously, so you know what's
working for you and you know what's not. So I
have a lot of things that we have planned in
(44:04):
our ages Gluprint School. I would encourage you to join
it now. You can join the community for free. I
give an ageless tip of the day, and usually I'll
post something two or three times a week just to
let you in on some of the things that I'm learning.
We also have a tier where it has these courses
you can take. One is called Harmone Clarity, the other
(44:26):
one is called the Five Pillars of Ages Living. The
other one is called Mindset Master. You get all of
those courses, it's ten bucks a month, and we can
do a question and answer like once a month, but
I also answer questions in that group. Then we're going
to have a higher level group where we're going to
have harmone health coaches, and we're also going to have
(44:47):
kind of a VIP level where we really work together
and try and get you functioning and get you to
where that Ageles blueprint, where we're functioning on that higher level,
on a consistent base. That's what we really want to
try and get back to. So I know we only
have a few minutes left. I don't know, Rebel, if
you have some questions or we have Did we have
(45:09):
any questions? But I hope I'm getting it across that
There the information on how to live better, it's out there.
It's always been there. We just have to remember it.
We have to reclaim it. And I think we can
live on the other side of that fall shaped curve
and we don't have to slowly deteriorate into a disease state.
All right, So any final words, Rebel.
Speaker 5 (45:31):
Well, you had a question about when you eat something
you mentioned You eat breakfast and then breakfast from yesterday
comes out. That's not the way it's supposed to happen, right,
You eat breakfast in a few hours later it comes out?
How it? How was it?
Speaker 4 (45:44):
Actually? No, here's what I'm saying. So the transit tam
from what you eat to having a boid movement should
be around twenty four hours. So it's called like the
transit tank because the longer wayte stays in your body,
the more you are rehabs or up those toxins. So
that's why I'm saying constipation is so bad. So if
you've got these toxins that it's just like leaving your
(46:06):
trash in the house. Eventually it begins to stink, it
begins to attract bugs that you don't want. So that's
that's what we're talking about. You don't want waste products
to be sitting in your gut, you know, for two, three,
four days. So that's what I'm saying. I'm saying, breakfast
from yesterday all of what. I'm not saying you have
(46:26):
diarrhea from yesterday. I'm just saying that your body has
absorbed all the nutrients, and now the waste from yesterday's
breakfast should be coming out, okay, and then the waste
from yesterday's lunch should be coming out somewhere around lunchtime.
And sometimes people have about one or two or three
bob movements at the beginning of the day. But all
I'm saying is is that waste needs to keep moving.
(46:48):
It doesn't need to stay in your gut, all right,
So I hope I cleared that up.
Speaker 5 (46:52):
Yes, thank you?
Speaker 4 (46:53):
Okay, all right, all right, so I know we're over time,
so we'll see you next week.
