Welcome to the Ask the Experts Show on W four
CY Radio and Talk for TV, where we bring you
educational information from top local experts in the fields of legal, health,
financial and home improvement. Now sit back and listen to
experts in family law, association, law, hearing laws, business brokers, homecare,
(00:48):
along with many other topics. Now Here are your hosts,
Spevo and Sophia.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Hey, good morning, God, it's a great day. Welcome to
another SCO expert show where we bring you the top
experts in the field of legal, health, financial and home improvement.
This is the first Wednesday of the month and by
introduction to our first expert, this show has become so popular.
(01:19):
We started off as a local Atlanta show, and we
saw the emails that we were receiving and the popularity.
We extended it throughout Georgia and then we still and
I also saw it was changing my life as well,
(01:40):
and we decided to make it a national show. And
now with telemed, things like this can be done. And
then we've taken it even a two steps further. The
next step is we now run this show. We were
corded the every Wednesday at ten o'clock Eastern time. That
(02:06):
is a first for our show. We have not done
that with any of our forty other experts. We do
every month and I'm so proud of it. And now
our expert, doctor Elder Taylor, of the Taylor Medical Group,
is now going to be offering his own podcasts. And
(02:27):
I guess the most important words and I use this
in my search engines is anti aging and functional medicine.
Whereas we started off with just weight loss, and we
have revolved.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
In something so much bigger.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Welcome doctor Elder Taylor.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Hello, Hello Steve, how are you doing?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You have made such a difference. Our show has been
running for fifteen years, doctor Taylor, and you have been.
You have made such a difference on this show. And
I was just telling you right before it went on
the air, the Lord's very important in my life. And
(03:12):
I got to tell you we talked about it because
we're going to talk about your trip. We're going to
talk about anti aging. But you one word that you
said that you learned when you took your trip over
to Egypt's peace. And you know you talk about stress. Well,
guess what, when you have peace in your life, you
(03:33):
get rid of the stress, right.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah, yeah, you know, and you're at peace when you're
in harmony. You know, if you listen to beautiful music
because it's in harmony, you have peace. And why are
they in harmony because all of the instruments are playing
that part perfectly in balance. And so then that leads
(03:57):
to harmony, and then that leads to peace. And when
you have peace, you can really get in touch with
what you're supposed to do and what you're supposed to be,
and then you get passionate you know about it, and
then that makes you want to live longer, and then
that leads to longevity. So I started out saying, I
want to have a longevity practice, But what should I do,
(04:20):
and then you know, I figured out I was already
teaching what needed to be done. Our first book, All
Your Hormones Making You Sick, was talking about balancing hormones,
and what happened is the only way you can balance
something is to measure it. And the problem with what's
going on with hormones is that people aren't measuring it
right because they're measuring it in blood and not in saliva,
(04:43):
so they don't get it balanced. So I learned how
to balance hormones, but then I found like twenty five
percent of them still didn't get the results even though
I balanced them. And then I figured out they were
under stress. So they were in disharmony, whether it was
in disharmony with their family or their job, or or
you can be in disharmony with your spirituality, you know
(05:06):
if because you have to balance the material and the spiritual.
So so anyway, so we were talking about how to
get stress out of your life so you could be
in harmony, and then that led to peace and then peaceless.
So I was like, man, I was already teaching that,
But then I found out that they were teaching that
in ancient Egypt. That's why I call it the a
(05:28):
blueprint you have. If you have balance in harmony, that's
how you have a long, prosperous life. So I had
a patient yesterday it was like, well, what are you
trying to say. I'm trying to say that, hey, that
those two things being in balance and being in harmony,
that leads to peace. That's what everybody wants. And I'm
(05:49):
going to tell you something. Every morning I listened to
in twenty ten BB King, I had this like jam
session it and you know, jazz is all about harmony,
being in harmony. All of these different parts. They're playing
their parts perfectly, but if you separate them out now
(06:10):
they don't sound so great. Put them together, you know
they sound great. So I listen to that every morning
because that tells me about harmony. And I want to
suggest another thing you or listen to. You all to
listen to James Brown and Pavariety sing It's a Man's
World on YouTube. Oh my gosh. That's well, no harmony
(06:33):
and all that, and then it leads to passion. You
are to see the passion how James Brown and pa
Variety sing It's a Man's World. I'm telling you It
gives me chills, bump chill bumps every morning. I listen
to it because it teaches me about passion. Is that's
how you have to live life. You have to have
passion about something. And it used to be that I
(06:57):
was listening to a book. Let me listen to an audiobook.
It says, oh, you should follow your passion. But really,
what happens is when you're really good at something and
you're really doing something that really makes an impact, that's
what gives you the passion. And so you have to
find what you are good at and then you get
passionate about it. And when you're passionate about something, you
(07:18):
want to keep doing it. You want to keep doing
it for all your life. And again, I'm sixty five
and I'm passionate. And I think you guys said I
look younger.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
But you walk the walk doctor Taylor.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
I got to tell you, yeah. Yeah. So but here
here's the other thing, the important thing. When you want
to live longer, you got to keep learning. Okay, so
where do you learn? You go to school. Well, there's
a platform called school and I I was learning something
it's called Reality Creator on this platform and I'm like, man,
(07:51):
this is a great platform because I want my patience.
I want people to know there's a difference between hearing
something and knowing something. And I see that my patients
they do things, but they don't know exactly why they're
doing it, and so sometimes they fall off and then
they have to come back and start all over again.
So I want my patients to know how you're supposed
(08:13):
to measure hormone, all of these things, how you measure stress.
I want you to know it. So I developed or
i'm developing this school platform. It's called and I gave
you the link. It's school dot Com, Forward slash ageless
and on. There. I have my ebook. I created e
(08:33):
books of my two books so you can download them.
I'm giving them to your free because I want you
to have those basics before we start talking about the future.
So I have my ebook Are your Hormones making you Sick? There?
I have my lecture Are your Hormones Making you Sick?
That I've given all around the world, But now I
can sit here and I can show it to you.
(08:54):
And I chopped it up in little pieces because people
don't have the attention span that they use to so
you can look at different parts of it, and then
as we go on, I'm going to add other lectures.
I have a stress Connection lecture and I'm going to
give that e book away. And then I have another
lecture about why your why hormones behave differently in different people,
(09:15):
because one person will say, OH, I took these hormones
and I'm great, and another person says, oh, I took
these hormones and I'm so. Hormones react differently in different people.
I have another lecture about breast cancer. Uh So I
want to continue to have people to learn because that
helps them live longer. So if you don't have something
to learn, I'm going to give you something to learn.
(09:37):
So I'm gonna stop talking. You know, doctor Tenny, what you.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Know what I want people to know about you because
we've seen we get new listeners every day, and you're
going to be starting your own podcast also right you
know what day and time your show is going to be.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I'm talking to your producer right now so we can
get that going. And uh you know what I I
told her, We're going to some may be live and
some may be pre recorded, because I have We started
an organization several years ago called American Functional Medicine Association,
and I had all kinds of guests come in from
(10:14):
all different disciplines, and I want to reintroduce those people
because this was fifteen years ago, and so I want
to reintroduce those people. So we'll have some guests. But
the reason why I'm talking about this school because a
lot of people need to get the basics down and
then we can move forward. So that's kind of my
thought process. Let me give you the basics and then
(10:35):
you'll be prepared to listen to some of the people
on the podcast because I'll tell you what I think
the future is going to be. It used to be
that I used to measure all of these things in
my office. You can measure things like bio impedance analysis
or body composition. But now with technology, you can monitor
all of these things and measure all of these things
(10:56):
with the Apple Watch or with I have a headband
that tells you what all your leaves are. And so
in order to my motto is, you can't manage something
that you can't measure. You can't manage your hormones until
you measure them. You can't manage your stress until you
measure it by measuring your quartasol or measuring your autonomic
(11:19):
nervous system, your fight or flight against your rest and digests.
And you can't manage aging unless you can measure the
components of aging. And you can. You can measure a
lot of those things in your home. I can in
this Ageless Blueprint podcast, I want to talk about different
measuring devices you can have in your home or on
(11:43):
your body or whatever, and it will tell you how
fast you're aging, and it'll tell you how you can
slow it down. I took a test back in October.
It was called True Age Diagnostics. It looked at how
your different organ systems were aging. And I thought I
was perfect, but I wasn't. I saw the things that
(12:03):
I saw the things that I wasn't that we're aging
too fast. And I've made adjustments. And that's probably why
you say while you're saying I look younger, because I
got that test back and I started focusing on the
on the areas that need an improvement and they may
be working. Since you say that I look younger.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Hey, doctor Taylor, I saw an article the other day
that says AI is going to be able to tell
us how.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Long we're going to live. For you believe that. Well this, well,
here's what I will tell you. It will tell you
the trajectory of your aging. And that's what that test
was saying. It was like, look, this is where you are,
and if you stay on this same trajectory, this is
when your systems are going to age out. Well, you
can change that angle. Now you're not gonna you're not
(12:53):
gonna live forever. Your body's not gonna live forever, Okay,
but you can change that angle of aging. And that's
what I'm trying to do. There's there's things to eliminate,
you know, alcohol, uh, you know, stressful jobs, whatever. There's
things you should eliminate, and then there's things you should add.
You know, a lot of times people are it's really
(13:15):
easy that people want to go to the supplement shop
and add twenty supplements. But they don't want to eliminate
the smoking, they don't want to eliminate eating the sweets,
they don't want to they don't want to lose anything.
They just want to keep adding things on. And that's
that's usually not the best balance. Okay, We're always talking
about balance. So you've got to have to eliminate some
(13:38):
some things and you're going to have to you may
have to add some things.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
So talk about eliminating doctor Taylor. Doctor Taylor was one
of the finest ob jid doctors in the Atlanta area,
and you basically put that off side and really got
into longevity and you do functional medicine, and a lot
of people don't know what that is. And as a layman,
(14:05):
doctor doctor Taylor is when your doctor says I don't
know what's wrong with you, you might think you have
a problem. But if you go to doctor Taylor and
you find what they're missing or what's causing the problem, yeah, exactly,
And medicine is what you do now, yeah, oh, no
(14:28):
doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
So in that school class, I have an audio that
it's like fifteen minutes that explains functional medicine. And you're
exactly right. It's whatever the symptom is or whatever it is, is,
what caused it? What was the underlying cause? I have
a patient who has a condition, and I'll tell you,
(14:51):
neurologists they can name things paced with als a pace
with Arkistan's, but they really don't ever tell you how
could that have a originated? What systems weren't working that
brought that? And so That's what we're looking at is
is whatever the condition is, what got out of balance, Okay,
if we can put it back in balance, your body
(15:13):
will just move right along in peace and harmony. So yeah,
that's what functional medicine is is how can we restore
balance and we can create that harmony and peace. And
it's all about measuring, you know, measuring hormones, measuring this,
and with aging, you measure the components that contribute to aging.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
You Since you've been back from your trip and you've
been taking several courses in longevity, have you changed how
you deal in your practice?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Now, let me tell you what probably the biggest changes
is that I'm now really beginning to understand the balance
between the physical and the spiritual. That's the next balance
that I think we have to have is doctors are
really focused on the physical, but we know that with
(16:10):
the placebo effect, you know, where you can take a
sugar peel and cure illness just because they believe that
it's going to do a certain thing. And then I
can give somebody something that I know will cure them.
But if spiritually and emotionally they don't think it's going
to help, it doesn't matter. What I do, it really doesn't.
And so I will tell you that the biggest change
(16:33):
is I've started to introduce that in my practice we
play calming music. Now again, there's a difference between spirituality
and religion. I'm not pushing religion on anybody, but I'm
just telling you there's more to you than what we see.
This is what I learned from my father, is that
(16:55):
the things that you see will pass away, the things
that you don't are forever. Okay. So he would every
Sunday recite First Corinthians, the thirteenth chapter, and it's about love,
and it says, faith, hope, and love are the greatest
of things. Of these is love, and all through that
chapter it talks about everything that's going to pass away
(17:17):
and these few things are going to last forever. So
that's probably the biggest change, because also in longevity, it's
been shown that in order to live longer, people people
who have some type of spiritual connection live longer, not
wow connection, not a religious connection, but some type of
(17:38):
spiritual connection, no doubt about it, they live longer. So
whether your religion is Muslim, but whatever, if you are
actually connected in spirit, you live longer. So that's what
you know, that's probably the biggest change.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
You know, is that I just read an article the
other day that this really surprised that Bible sales are
forty That was great news.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Yeah, that's saying that there's some kind of spiritual awakening coming.
I think people have felt disconnected. I think COVID did
a lot of it did physical damage to us, but
it did spiritual damage to us. It disconnected us and
we and we are spiritually we are all connected. And
(18:26):
when we get disconnected like that, we're still recovering from that.
And that's and in this in this school, uh, it's
a community where we can share information. Because I will
tell you the reason why I changed the way I
practiced is that a patient asked me a question about
biodentical hormones, and I told her I would find out
(18:48):
for her. Most of the information and the things that
I do in my office, it's because a patient asked me.
So I want to hear from people. I want to
know what they want to know, because people they want
what they want. They don't want what they need, Okay,
they want what they want. So I want to know
(19:09):
what you want. And then I'll slip in a little
bit of what you need in between telling you what
you want, Okay, I have to slip that in under the.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Two text messages both the same. How do you measure stress?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
You can measure two ways. That's easy. You can measure
if you heard of heart rate variability, I do it.
I used to do. I do it in the office.
But heart rate variability you can get some of these
devices or rings. There's apps on your watch that look
at heart rate variability and it looks at the balance
(19:44):
between your fight or flight and your rest and digestive
sympathetic and parasympathetic. So you can do that on your own.
The other way you can do it is looking at
cortisol through saliva testing, and that's something you can I
can send to you. You can I did it for
you and your wife's yes, stee is send off a
test and we can get the results and we can
(20:05):
go from there. So those are the two. The heart
rate variability is looking at short term stress and recovery,
so people a lot of athletes look at that to
see if they've recovered so that they can you be
ready for the big game. I'm sure that probably Kansas
City Chiefs and the Eagles are doing that right now,
you know, making sure that they get their best on Sunday.
(20:27):
So that's short term. Long term is looking at cortisol.
So those are the two ways, and with that you
can adjust those stress components and that's that's the gateway
to peace, right there is to be able to balance
that sympathetic and parasympathetic, and the pair of sympathetic, I'll
(20:47):
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
How do you handle uh? And this is a personal question.
So you measure a person's hormones, very important, and you
do it. I think the way you do it with
the saliva is a much better way to measure it. Yeah,
and what do you do with your patients that you
(21:11):
show them where they're lacking at Yeah, but then they're
too lazy to do anything about it.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Well, all of my patients who come to me are motivated,
I mean because I don't take insurance or everything, so
they're they you know, they're putting some money on the table.
So if they're doing that, then they ought at least
take some of my advice. And what I'm asking them
to do is not hard. I'm not asking them to
you know, get stuck twenty times. It's like spitting this
(21:38):
little container you know, it's all I'm asking you to write.
And then what we'll do is there's when you're talking
about female hormones, you're talking about estrogen and progesterone, and
they should be in a two hundred to one ratio.
So if your estra dial is one, your progesterone should
be two hundred. If your estradali is two, it should
be four hundred. And as long as you can see that,
(22:02):
you know, I show patients, I'm like, look here, here
it is. We're going to try and get this up
to two hundred. And here's how you do it. We've
got to If the progester on is low, hey we
got to do that. If your estrogen is high, maybe
we need to bring that down. So it's not hard.
That's why I'm saying this blueprint. This as less blueprint.
It's simple. It's been around the ten thousand years or
(22:24):
how along we've had civilization.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
So he can you look down in the in the
chat line, Annie, where can we get the headband? And
what does it measure?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Well, it's it's the company is called muse in usc
that's what I use, and it measures all of your
brain waves. You have alpha waves data waves, beta waves,
delta waves. And the crazy thing about that is all
of them do different things. Some of them excite you,
(22:58):
some of them calm you down, some of them help
you learn, some of them help you focus. But all
of these bands have this certain harmony that they have
to be in for you to be able to focus.
They have to be in a different harmony for you
be able to sleep. They have to be in a
different harmony for you to be able to do other things.
And what you're really trying to balance is two sides
(23:21):
of your brain. You have a logical size side and
you have a creative side. And that's another indication of balance.
Why is your brain split in two because you have
to balance these two sides of your brain. So I'm
telling you when you look at nature, it's all about balance.
(23:42):
It's all about balance. When I started my garden, these
flowers have a male and a female side to them,
and they have to be in balance. And you have
to the only way you can get the fruit is
that the male and female have to be in balanced.
Then you get the apple or the flour or whatever.
If they're not, you're not going to get any fruit,
(24:04):
Doctor Tayler.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
God I mean, I've got a thousand more questions. Well,
that's what that school is about. You can ask and
there's so many people in the chat line. Tell people,
first of all, how they can reach you.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Yeah, I'm at info at Taylormedicalgroup dot com. Uh, and
then my office is at six seven eight four four
three four thousand. You can call there.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
But I'm really tell medicine too.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Yeah, I do tell the medicine also.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
So but uh, yeah, that's a place where we can
ask questions. And if I don't know the answer, I'll
try and find somebody who knows the answer. And you know,
we'll we'll we'll all learn together. And the more you learn,
the more active your brain is, and the more likely
you are to live a long, prosperous life. Doctor Taylor,
(24:54):
the Lord brought you to this show. Sure you brought
you know. I'm telling you. I took a chance on
you to say, should I do this? I don't know. Well,
I'm going to tell you I appreciate you gave me
a platform for me to even I don't know how
much time we have, but you know something, we're out
of time. But I, in fact, we had so many
(25:17):
more questions.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
This show will be replayed again next week next Wednesday,
and maybe we can talk about maybe lengthening the show
a little bit.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
But hey, doctor Taylor, you're the best I think. Love you, bro,
all right, thank you, love you guys.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
All right, we'll be right back.

Hey, good morning, God, it's a great day. Welcome to
another SCO expert show where we bring you the top
experts in the field of legal, health, financial and home improvement.
This is the first Wednesday of the month and by
introduction to our first expert, this show has become so popular.
(01:19):
We started off as a local Atlanta show, and we
saw the emails that we were receiving and the popularity.
We extended it throughout Georgia and then we still and
I also saw it was changing my life as well,
(01:40):
and we decided to make it a national show. And
now with telemed, things like this can be done. And
then we've taken it even a two steps further. The
next step is we now run this show. We were
corded the every Wednesday at ten o'clock Eastern time. That
(02:06):
is a first for our show. We have not done
that with any of our forty other experts. We do
every month and I'm so proud of it. And now
our expert, doctor Elder Taylor, of the Taylor Medical Group,
is now going to be offering his own podcasts. And
(02:27):
I guess the most important words and I use this
in my search engines is anti aging and functional medicine.
Whereas we started off with just weight loss, and we
have revolved.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
In something so much bigger.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Welcome doctor Elder Taylor.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Hello, Hello Steve, how are you doing?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You have made such a difference. Our show has been
running for fifteen years, doctor Taylor, and you have been.
You have made such a difference on this show. And
I was just telling you right before it went on
the air, the Lord's very important in my life. And
(03:12):
I got to tell you we talked about it because
we're going to talk about your trip. We're going to
talk about anti aging. But you one word that you
said that you learned when you took your trip over
to Egypt's peace. And you know you talk about stress. Well,
guess what, when you have peace in your life, you
(03:33):
get rid of the stress, right.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah, yeah, you know, and you're at peace when you're
in harmony. You know, if you listen to beautiful music
because it's in harmony, you have peace. And why are
they in harmony because all of the instruments are playing
that part perfectly in balance. And so then that leads
(03:57):
to harmony, and then that leads to peace. And when
you have peace, you can really get in touch with
what you're supposed to do and what you're supposed to be,
and then you get passionate you know about it, and
then that makes you want to live longer, and then
that leads to longevity. So I started out saying, I
want to have a longevity practice, But what should I do,
(04:20):
and then you know, I figured out I was already
teaching what needed to be done. Our first book, All
Your Hormones Making You Sick, was talking about balancing hormones,
and what happened is the only way you can balance
something is to measure it. And the problem with what's
going on with hormones is that people aren't measuring it
right because they're measuring it in blood and not in saliva,
(04:43):
so they don't get it balanced. So I learned how
to balance hormones, but then I found like twenty five
percent of them still didn't get the results even though
I balanced them. And then I figured out they were
under stress. So they were in disharmony, whether it was
in disharmony with their family or their job, or or
you can be in disharmony with your spirituality, you know
(05:06):
if because you have to balance the material and the spiritual.
So so anyway, so we were talking about how to
get stress out of your life so you could be
in harmony, and then that led to peace and then peaceless.
So I was like, man, I was already teaching that,
But then I found out that they were teaching that
in ancient Egypt. That's why I call it the a
(05:28):
blueprint you have. If you have balance in harmony, that's
how you have a long, prosperous life. So I had
a patient yesterday it was like, well, what are you
trying to say. I'm trying to say that, hey, that
those two things being in balance and being in harmony,
that leads to peace. That's what everybody wants. And I'm
(05:49):
going to tell you something. Every morning I listened to
in twenty ten BB King, I had this like jam
session it and you know, jazz is all about harmony,
being in harmony. All of these different parts. They're playing
their parts perfectly, but if you separate them out now
(06:10):
they don't sound so great. Put them together, you know
they sound great. So I listen to that every morning
because that tells me about harmony. And I want to
suggest another thing you or listen to. You all to
listen to James Brown and Pavariety sing It's a Man's
World on YouTube. Oh my gosh. That's well, no harmony
(06:33):
and all that, and then it leads to passion. You
are to see the passion how James Brown and pa
Variety sing It's a Man's World. I'm telling you It
gives me chills, bump chill bumps every morning. I listen
to it because it teaches me about passion. Is that's
how you have to live life. You have to have
passion about something. And it used to be that I
(06:57):
was listening to a book. Let me listen to an audiobook.
It says, oh, you should follow your passion. But really,
what happens is when you're really good at something and
you're really doing something that really makes an impact, that's
what gives you the passion. And so you have to
find what you are good at and then you get
passionate about it. And when you're passionate about something, you
(07:18):
want to keep doing it. You want to keep doing
it for all your life. And again, I'm sixty five
and I'm passionate. And I think you guys said I
look younger.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
But you walk the walk doctor Taylor.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
I got to tell you, yeah. Yeah. So but here
here's the other thing, the important thing. When you want
to live longer, you got to keep learning. Okay, so
where do you learn? You go to school. Well, there's
a platform called school and I I was learning something
it's called Reality Creator on this platform and I'm like, man,
(07:51):
this is a great platform because I want my patience.
I want people to know there's a difference between hearing
something and knowing something. And I see that my patients
they do things, but they don't know exactly why they're
doing it, and so sometimes they fall off and then
they have to come back and start all over again.
So I want my patients to know how you're supposed
(08:13):
to measure hormone, all of these things, how you measure stress.
I want you to know it. So I developed or
i'm developing this school platform. It's called and I gave
you the link. It's school dot Com, Forward slash ageless
and on. There. I have my ebook. I created e
(08:33):
books of my two books so you can download them.
I'm giving them to your free because I want you
to have those basics before we start talking about the future.
So I have my ebook Are your Hormones making you Sick? There?
I have my lecture Are your Hormones Making you Sick?
That I've given all around the world, But now I
can sit here and I can show it to you.
(08:54):
And I chopped it up in little pieces because people
don't have the attention span that they use to so
you can look at different parts of it, and then
as we go on, I'm going to add other lectures.
I have a stress Connection lecture and I'm going to
give that e book away. And then I have another
lecture about why your why hormones behave differently in different people,
(09:15):
because one person will say, OH, I took these hormones
and I'm great, and another person says, oh, I took
these hormones and I'm so. Hormones react differently in different people.
I have another lecture about breast cancer. Uh So I
want to continue to have people to learn because that
helps them live longer. So if you don't have something
to learn, I'm going to give you something to learn.
(09:37):
So I'm gonna stop talking. You know, doctor Tenny, what you.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Know what I want people to know about you because
we've seen we get new listeners every day, and you're
going to be starting your own podcast also right you
know what day and time your show is going to be.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I'm talking to your producer right now so we can
get that going. And uh you know what I I
told her, We're going to some may be live and
some may be pre recorded, because I have We started
an organization several years ago called American Functional Medicine Association,
and I had all kinds of guests come in from
(10:14):
all different disciplines, and I want to reintroduce those people
because this was fifteen years ago, and so I want
to reintroduce those people. So we'll have some guests. But
the reason why I'm talking about this school because a
lot of people need to get the basics down and
then we can move forward. So that's kind of my
thought process. Let me give you the basics and then
(10:35):
you'll be prepared to listen to some of the people
on the podcast because I'll tell you what I think
the future is going to be. It used to be
that I used to measure all of these things in
my office. You can measure things like bio impedance analysis
or body composition. But now with technology, you can monitor
all of these things and measure all of these things
(10:56):
with the Apple Watch or with I have a headband
that tells you what all your leaves are. And so
in order to my motto is, you can't manage something
that you can't measure. You can't manage your hormones until
you measure them. You can't manage your stress until you
measure it by measuring your quartasol or measuring your autonomic
(11:19):
nervous system, your fight or flight against your rest and digests.
And you can't manage aging unless you can measure the
components of aging. And you can. You can measure a
lot of those things in your home. I can in
this Ageless Blueprint podcast, I want to talk about different
measuring devices you can have in your home or on
(11:43):
your body or whatever, and it will tell you how
fast you're aging, and it'll tell you how you can
slow it down. I took a test back in October.
It was called True Age Diagnostics. It looked at how
your different organ systems were aging. And I thought I
was perfect, but I wasn't. I saw the things that
(12:03):
I saw the things that I wasn't that we're aging
too fast. And I've made adjustments. And that's probably why
you say while you're saying I look younger, because I
got that test back and I started focusing on the
on the areas that need an improvement and they may
be working. Since you say that I look younger.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Hey, doctor Taylor, I saw an article the other day
that says AI is going to be able to tell
us how.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Long we're going to live. For you believe that. Well this, well,
here's what I will tell you. It will tell you
the trajectory of your aging. And that's what that test
was saying. It was like, look, this is where you are,
and if you stay on this same trajectory, this is
when your systems are going to age out. Well, you
can change that angle. Now you're not gonna you're not
(12:53):
gonna live forever. Your body's not gonna live forever, Okay,
but you can change that angle of aging. And that's
what I'm trying to do. There's there's things to eliminate,
you know, alcohol, uh, you know, stressful jobs, whatever. There's
things you should eliminate, and then there's things you should add.
You know, a lot of times people are it's really
(13:15):
easy that people want to go to the supplement shop
and add twenty supplements. But they don't want to eliminate
the smoking, they don't want to eliminate eating the sweets,
they don't want to they don't want to lose anything.
They just want to keep adding things on. And that's
that's usually not the best balance. Okay, We're always talking
about balance. So you've got to have to eliminate some
(13:38):
some things and you're going to have to you may
have to add some things.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
So talk about eliminating doctor Taylor. Doctor Taylor was one
of the finest ob jid doctors in the Atlanta area,
and you basically put that off side and really got
into longevity and you do functional medicine, and a lot
of people don't know what that is. And as a layman,
(14:05):
doctor doctor Taylor is when your doctor says I don't
know what's wrong with you, you might think you have
a problem. But if you go to doctor Taylor and
you find what they're missing or what's causing the problem, yeah, exactly,
And medicine is what you do now, yeah, oh, no
(14:28):
doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
So in that school class, I have an audio that
it's like fifteen minutes that explains functional medicine. And you're
exactly right. It's whatever the symptom is or whatever it is, is,
what caused it? What was the underlying cause? I have
a patient who has a condition, and I'll tell you,
(14:51):
neurologists they can name things paced with als a pace
with Arkistan's, but they really don't ever tell you how
could that have a originated? What systems weren't working that
brought that? And so That's what we're looking at is
is whatever the condition is, what got out of balance, Okay,
if we can put it back in balance, your body
(15:13):
will just move right along in peace and harmony. So yeah,
that's what functional medicine is is how can we restore
balance and we can create that harmony and peace. And
it's all about measuring, you know, measuring hormones, measuring this,
and with aging, you measure the components that contribute to aging.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
You Since you've been back from your trip and you've
been taking several courses in longevity, have you changed how
you deal in your practice?
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Now, let me tell you what probably the biggest changes
is that I'm now really beginning to understand the balance
between the physical and the spiritual. That's the next balance
that I think we have to have is doctors are
really focused on the physical, but we know that with
(16:10):
the placebo effect, you know, where you can take a
sugar peel and cure illness just because they believe that
it's going to do a certain thing. And then I
can give somebody something that I know will cure them.
But if spiritually and emotionally they don't think it's going
to help, it doesn't matter. What I do, it really doesn't.
And so I will tell you that the biggest change
(16:33):
is I've started to introduce that in my practice we
play calming music. Now again, there's a difference between spirituality
and religion. I'm not pushing religion on anybody, but I'm
just telling you there's more to you than what we see.
This is what I learned from my father, is that
(16:55):
the things that you see will pass away, the things
that you don't are forever. Okay. So he would every
Sunday recite First Corinthians, the thirteenth chapter, and it's about love,
and it says, faith, hope, and love are the greatest
of things. Of these is love, and all through that
chapter it talks about everything that's going to pass away
(17:17):
and these few things are going to last forever. So
that's probably the biggest change, because also in longevity, it's
been shown that in order to live longer, people people
who have some type of spiritual connection live longer, not
wow connection, not a religious connection, but some type of
(17:38):
spiritual connection, no doubt about it, they live longer. So
whether your religion is Muslim, but whatever, if you are
actually connected in spirit, you live longer. So that's what
you know, that's probably the biggest change.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
You know, is that I just read an article the
other day that this really surprised that Bible sales are
forty That was great news.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Yeah, that's saying that there's some kind of spiritual awakening coming.
I think people have felt disconnected. I think COVID did
a lot of it did physical damage to us, but
it did spiritual damage to us. It disconnected us and
we and we are spiritually we are all connected. And
(18:26):
when we get disconnected like that, we're still recovering from that.
And that's and in this in this school, uh, it's
a community where we can share information. Because I will
tell you the reason why I changed the way I
practiced is that a patient asked me a question about
biodentical hormones, and I told her I would find out
(18:48):
for her. Most of the information and the things that
I do in my office, it's because a patient asked me.
So I want to hear from people. I want to
know what they want to know, because people they want
what they want. They don't want what they need, Okay,
they want what they want. So I want to know
(19:09):
what you want. And then I'll slip in a little
bit of what you need in between telling you what
you want, Okay, I have to slip that in under the.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Two text messages both the same. How do you measure stress?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
You can measure two ways. That's easy. You can measure
if you heard of heart rate variability, I do it.
I used to do. I do it in the office.
But heart rate variability you can get some of these
devices or rings. There's apps on your watch that look
at heart rate variability and it looks at the balance
(19:44):
between your fight or flight and your rest and digestive
sympathetic and parasympathetic. So you can do that on your own.
The other way you can do it is looking at
cortisol through saliva testing, and that's something you can I
can send to you. You can I did it for
you and your wife's yes, stee is send off a
test and we can get the results and we can
(20:05):
go from there. So those are the two. The heart
rate variability is looking at short term stress and recovery,
so people a lot of athletes look at that to
see if they've recovered so that they can you be
ready for the big game. I'm sure that probably Kansas
City Chiefs and the Eagles are doing that right now,
you know, making sure that they get their best on Sunday.
(20:27):
So that's short term. Long term is looking at cortisol.
So those are the two ways, and with that you
can adjust those stress components and that's that's the gateway
to peace, right there is to be able to balance
that sympathetic and parasympathetic, and the pair of sympathetic, I'll
(20:47):
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
How do you handle uh? And this is a personal question.
So you measure a person's hormones, very important, and you
do it. I think the way you do it with
the saliva is a much better way to measure it. Yeah,
and what do you do with your patients that you
(21:11):
show them where they're lacking at Yeah, but then they're
too lazy to do anything about it.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Well, all of my patients who come to me are motivated,
I mean because I don't take insurance or everything, so
they're they you know, they're putting some money on the table.
So if they're doing that, then they ought at least
take some of my advice. And what I'm asking them
to do is not hard. I'm not asking them to
you know, get stuck twenty times. It's like spitting this
(21:38):
little container you know, it's all I'm asking you to write.
And then what we'll do is there's when you're talking
about female hormones, you're talking about estrogen and progesterone, and
they should be in a two hundred to one ratio.
So if your estra dial is one, your progesterone should
be two hundred. If your estradali is two, it should
be four hundred. And as long as you can see that,
(22:02):
you know, I show patients, I'm like, look here, here
it is. We're going to try and get this up
to two hundred. And here's how you do it. We've
got to If the progester on is low, hey we
got to do that. If your estrogen is high, maybe
we need to bring that down. So it's not hard.
That's why I'm saying this blueprint. This as less blueprint.
It's simple. It's been around the ten thousand years or
(22:24):
how along we've had civilization.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
So he can you look down in the in the
chat line, Annie, where can we get the headband? And
what does it measure?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Well, it's it's the company is called muse in usc
that's what I use, and it measures all of your
brain waves. You have alpha waves data waves, beta waves,
delta waves. And the crazy thing about that is all
of them do different things. Some of them excite you,
(22:58):
some of them calm you down, some of them help
you learn, some of them help you focus. But all
of these bands have this certain harmony that they have
to be in for you to be able to focus.
They have to be in a different harmony for you
be able to sleep. They have to be in a
different harmony for you to be able to do other things.
And what you're really trying to balance is two sides
(23:21):
of your brain. You have a logical size side and
you have a creative side. And that's another indication of balance.
Why is your brain split in two because you have
to balance these two sides of your brain. So I'm
telling you when you look at nature, it's all about balance.
(23:42):
It's all about balance. When I started my garden, these
flowers have a male and a female side to them,
and they have to be in balance. And you have
to the only way you can get the fruit is
that the male and female have to be in balanced.
Then you get the apple or the flour or whatever.
If they're not, you're not going to get any fruit,
(24:04):
Doctor Tayler.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
God I mean, I've got a thousand more questions. Well,
that's what that school is about. You can ask and
there's so many people in the chat line. Tell people,
first of all, how they can reach you.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Yeah, I'm at info at Taylormedicalgroup dot com. Uh, and
then my office is at six seven eight four four
three four thousand. You can call there.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
But I'm really tell medicine too.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Yeah, I do tell the medicine also.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
So but uh, yeah, that's a place where we can
ask questions. And if I don't know the answer, I'll
try and find somebody who knows the answer. And you know,
we'll we'll we'll all learn together. And the more you learn,
the more active your brain is, and the more likely
you are to live a long, prosperous life. Doctor Taylor,
(24:54):
the Lord brought you to this show. Sure you brought
you know. I'm telling you. I took a chance on
you to say, should I do this? I don't know. Well,
I'm going to tell you I appreciate you gave me
a platform for me to even I don't know how
much time we have, but you know something, we're out
of time. But I, in fact, we had so many
(25:17):
more questions.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
This show will be replayed again next week next Wednesday,
and maybe we can talk about maybe lengthening the show
a little bit.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
But hey, doctor Taylor, you're the best I think. Love you, bro,
all right, thank you, love you guys.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
All right, we'll be right back.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
