Speaker 3 (00:55):
Hey, good morning, Welcome to another at the Expert show.
We're on For the last sixteen years we have brought
you the top experts in the field of legal, health,
financial and home improvement. This is our sixteenth year of
bringing these great experts. But this morning's expert. We do

(01:16):
a live show the first Wednesday of the month at
ten o'clock Eastern time. Doctor Elder Taylor also has his
own show, and I think he does before this show
at nine o'clock Eastern. But I'm going to tell you something.
I've been doing this for a long time. We have
had all types of experts in the health field. This is,

(01:40):
without a doubt, my favorite show to do. It is
the easiest show to do. I have learned so much
from doctor Taylor, and we're going to let you know
how you can also learn things that we've learned about
from doctor Taylor. Doctor Taylor with the Taylor Medical Group.
Good morning, Eldred.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Hey, Hey, how are you doing. Hey, so good to
see you. I heard you a little under the weather
last week and.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
You yeah, yeah, Hey, listen, I gotta tell you. You know,
I'm a very I'm a believer. The Lord's most important
thing to me, and with all my heart, I really
believe Lord brought you to the show. The things that
you have shared with our audience. And what's so amazing

(02:30):
is you started off as nobe gin doctor and look
for you are today. Could you ever have imagined that,
Doctor Taylor.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah, no, not at all. I mean, you know, yeah,
I saw it. I was Obi Joanne, really just doing
what I was taught. Then my wife started having hormone issues.
I got interested in biodelical hormones. We wrote a book
called Are Your Hormones Making You Sick? We wrote another
book called The Stress Connection. And actually I went around
the country in the world just talking about those two

(02:59):
books and all the information in there, and actually got
burnt out. And in twenty sixteen traveling, yeah, all the traveling.
And then in twenty sixteen my sister passed away. Then
you know, COVID hit and so I just stopped doing,
you know, all of this, and to be honest with you,
I felt a little out of touch. And then somehow,

(03:21):
some way you contacted me and asked me if I
wanted to be on this show. And I looked at
my wife and I was like, should I start this again?
Should I start doing this again? And we were kind
of iffy about it, But really I have to I
have to give you credit, and that's why I've stayed
loyal to you. You really got me restarted on the

(03:44):
path of doing what I'd like to do, which is
to educate people about health and all that. So yeah,
I think you made a Lord may have brought you to.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
It's so so much easier than all that traveling.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Too, doesn't text me like it did previously.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
You know, I was just talking to doctor Taylor right
before the show started. We were on seventy maybe even
eighty platforms. YouTube is one of the platforms, and it's
amazing how I'm seeing your numbers go up. In fact,
I sent you a copy of your last show and

(04:24):
it was like something like over five hundred viewers just
on YouTube. And I got to tell you, but you know,
I know you're a teacher, and I know you're a
faithful you're a spiritual person like myself, And I just
want you to know you are touching people out there. Well,

(04:46):
there's so many people, Doctor Taylor that you know, their
doctors tell them there's nothing wrong with them, almost like
it's in your head, you know. And what you do
to get all the stuff that other doctors throw out
or throw their hands up. Yeah, And I just want

(05:07):
to say this, You walk the walk. The things that
you've done, from your gardening, from your yoga to your
trip to Yeah, really walk the walk.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, Yeah, I try to be authentic. You know, I
always in my office, I tell patients I highly have
ever recommended anything in my office that either me or
my wife, Me or my wife haven't done ourselves, because
we want to really experience what the patient's going to experience.
So if it's if we're about to recommend something to
the patient, we want to do it first, so to say, okay,

(05:41):
here are the problems you might have, or just find out, hey,
it doesn't doesn't work, and if it doesn't work for me,
I'm not going to try and promote it to somebody else.
So I do have to walk the walk in order
to teach this because you know, again people people know
if you're just you know, talking hype or if you're
really talking something that you really have, you really believe

(06:02):
in and you believe in it enough to do it yourself.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
What made you you put out a publication Age's Blueprint?
What made you do that? You know?

Speaker 4 (06:12):
And this is what I was talking about. I just
came up with a moment of clarity about ASA's Blueprint.
Is that that concept came up after I went to Egypt.
You know, so I really didn't I don't know why
I picked that name, but when I went to Egypt,
and I like understood what those hieroglyphs were, how they

(06:37):
interpreted them, and I saw the buildings and things that
they created, and this is what this is what I
came up with is that we are not more advanced
than they are. And that became obvious when I went there.
We are not more advancing. Is that What I believe
is that some of the things that they were able
to do, we used to have the ability to do that,

(06:58):
but we've lost it over time. And I think we've
lost it over time based on how stressed we are
about what we eat, you know, how we sleep, all
of those and just how society has conditioned us that
we have lost the ability that those ancient people knew.
And how do I know about it? Because they can
interpret those hieroglyphs. And I started looking at all these things,

(07:20):
about these ancient writings, you know, sandscript, that Dead Sea scrolls,
all of these things. Is that these people knew things
that science is only now trying to explain. And just
because they couldn't explain it doesn't mean they didn't have
that information. And that's what they were trying to do
in these old manuscripts and all that they were trying

(07:41):
to give us an ageless blueprint, and we think that
we're so advanced we don't want to look at that information.
But that information holds the key that we're just now discovering.
So if we could just follow it, it doesn't have
to be proven beyond the child of a doubt. The
proof is is that people have lived this way for
thousands and thousands of years, and this is why we're

(08:03):
here now, is because they knew the blueprint of how
to keep the species going. So that's what aigs's blueprint
is about. Hey, let's look at some of this old
stuff and see if we can't use it, and we
don't have we can circumvent some of this modern technology stuff.
So anyway, so that's kind of my mission statement, let's

(08:23):
look at the old stuff. And there's a statement that
someone said, if you want new ideas, read old books.
So that's what I'm doing. You read old books to
get new ideas.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
I like the way you intertwine your age's blueprint with scripture.
I love that.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah, you know. The other thing you have to understand
is that scripture and the Bible, it has a surface
meaning and then it has a deep meaning, you know,
it has almost a universal meaning meaning. And that's the
other thing that I've learned is that the Bible, and
the Bible was written for the regular person to understand.

(09:06):
But then there were also in ancient times, are you
know earlier times, is that the real meaning were given
only to the initiates. There was something called the initiates,
and the initiates would understand the deeper meaning of all
of the scriptures. Is that, And that's what preachers and
pastors do. They try to give you the deeper meaning

(09:28):
of a scripture. And all of those scriptures have deeper meanings,
more universal meanings. And I believe that's why those deeper meanings.
I think those those go across all religions. Okay, and
we always say, hell, you know, there's Muslims off this,
but if you get down to the deeper meaning, they
almost all point toward the same direction. We've just coded it,

(09:52):
you know, with different religions, but you go underneath the deep,
almost all of them are giving you the same value.
And that's kind of that ageless bootprint. Don't look at
the surface, look at the deep. Go back at the
beginning and see those original documents before King James or
any other person interpreted it. See what the original information says.

(10:18):
And I think that's the key is you have to
go back to the beginning and that's where you find truth.
You don't want it to be filtered through a bunch
of different translations. And you know, we all played that
game where you start out with the message and by
the time it gets around to the other end, it's
you don't even realize what the message is. And that's

(10:40):
what you have to understand when you're talking about scriptures,
is that a lot of the translations are they may
not always capture that deeper meaning. So you always want
to go go there, all right, So anyway, I don't
want to get.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
To I got to tell you, I am so addicted
to the Age's Blueprint. It's like I can't wait to
read your next writing that comes out and tell people,
tell people how they can get your Age's Blueprint.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
Yeah, well, I'm I'm on substack. Actually, the ages blueprint
is really free there. I'm on substack. It's at aces
with substack dot com, courts last as Ageless Bootprint. Also,
I have a school s k O O L group
and it's and you'll see it in all my links.
We was www dot school s k o o L
dot com Forts Last Ageless, and that's a free community

(11:35):
where I give an ACES tip of the day every
morning and I'll usually post some other thing that you know,
I may have been learning of some YouTube video that
I saw, whatever, I'll share it with you. But then
I also have a ten dollars a month part that
with there. There in there there's actually courses. One is
called Hormone Clarity, so do you understand your hormones? Other

(11:57):
one is called the Five Pillars of Ageless Living, and
the other ones called manset mastery just getting your mind
right to understand what I'm talking about is, you know,
there's deeper meanings to almost everything, so you got to
get your mind right to see that. And so that's
ten bucks about. And then I'm developing something where I'm
going to have harmone coaches because my major interest is

(12:22):
in biodonical hormones and measuring hormones through saliva. And I
see that there's so much misinformation out there, and there's
so many people who are calling themselves hormone experts, and
they're calling them hormone coaches, and they're doing it completely wrong.
If they're measuring blood levels, they're doing it wrong. So
I want to have an army of people out there
telling people how to do it correctly. And if I

(12:45):
can get if they can have people on social media
they've just given misinformation, I can try and recruit people
and teach them to write information. So that's one thing
I'm going to do. And then we're going to build
a VIP level where if someone really wants to go
through a real treansformation kind of like what I did
when just even starting this all over, kind of recreating yourself,

(13:05):
I want to have a VIP level where we talk
about the steps you can go through to actually do that.
And even at sixty five, which I am now, is
you can start a whole new career and business or
whatever you want to do. I've always said I'm going
to be the Colonel Sanders of functional medicine where he
started Kentucky for a Chicken when he was sixty five

(13:27):
and it became a big, you know, global success. So
I hope ags blueprint. I won't say I hope, I would.
I plan on Age's blueprint to be like that, is
to be a global movement to try and get people
to understand that they can. They don't want to be normal, Okay,
normal means that you're in a group of sick people.

(13:49):
You want to be healthy, you want to be vital.
You don't want to be in that normal range because
normal in this society means sick. And I don't want
to too much. But my ass Bootprint podcast this morning
was called the Myth of Normal, and it's a book
called it's called Yeah Yes, It's the Myth of Normal.

(14:12):
And what you have to understand about lab work. All
they do is they draw blood on people, and mostly
time is sick people, cause who gets their blood drome
people who feel like they're sick. So they take all
of the blood levels and they put it in a
bell shaped curve and you have to be two standard
deviations from the mean in order for you to be
qualified as having the disease. And that's how we were taught,

(14:34):
is to identify and treat diseases. So if you're not
at the ends of the spectrum and you don't qualify
for a disease, what happens is we call it a
syndrome and give you some medication to cover up the symptom.
Because you have not qualified for a disease. So we
call it chuntic fatigue or irritable bowel syndrome, or we
call it bipolar or ADHD, but really it is is

(14:56):
that you're not sick enough to have a disease, but
you're not functioning correctly. And so what we want to
do is look at We want to do different tests
because the routine tests are going to always say you're
normal if you have a functional problem. So if your
routine test are normal, then you have to do some
non routine tests, you know, like a saliva test, like

(15:17):
a like a food sensitivity test, like looking at the
stool test. You can't look in the blood and think
you're going to defined everything. I gave the analogy on
my podcast. It's like if you've lost your keys, you
don't keep going to the same place over and over
again looking for your keys, because you've already looked there
and you know it's not there, So you have to

(15:38):
look somewhere else. So people go and get the routine
blood work done over and over and over again looking
for something that's not there. Okay, you have to look
somewhere else. You have to look in the gut, look
in the saliva, look at you look at different things
in the blood. You have to look at some non
routine things if you want some non routine answers. So anyway,

(15:59):
that's my thought.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Well, we just got I'm reading these. We just got
four texts basically all asked the same thing. One is
you do telemedicine correct.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
Yeah, yeah, so you can actually yeah, go ahead, go ahead,
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
They're all basically the same, and talk about what health
areas that you work with in your office.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
Well, this is this is what I will tell you.
We wrote the book The Stress Connection because it said
seventy five to ninety percent of all visits to primary
care physicians are for stress related complaints of disorders. So
we deal with issues of stress, which is seventy five
to ninety percent of everybody who comes into the office.

(16:48):
So what's connected to stress everything. That's what we call
it the stress Connection. But this is how we look
at it. One, we try to ask you to get
rid of the stress. So if it's a relationship or
job or whatever, get rid of the stress. Number Two,
try to change how you respond to the stress. And
that's where we talk about meditation and yoga, you're talking

(17:09):
about that. The third thing is try to repair the
damage caused by the stress. That's where we come in,
is that there's all types of damage caused by stress.
Where we're talking about ed or you talk about hormone problems,
you talk about hypertension, you talk about gut problems, most
of them have a root cause of stress. But you

(17:30):
have to repair the damage, you know, piece by piece.
You might have to repair the gut with probiotics and
some other things, repair the hormones by giving you the
hormones that you don't you're not producing. But sometimes the
ultimate problem is that your quarters, our curve is out
of whack, and we also look for that. So when
you say what do we do, we almost handle any

(17:51):
kind of functional medicine problem. If your lab values, if
your routine labs are normal, those are the patients we
like because now I know you don't have a disease,
and you I'm almost sure that you have a functional
medicine problem. So I'm almost sure that I can help you.
Once we know that none of your lamb work is
actually showing that you have a disease, I know you

(18:14):
have a functional problem.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
How come more doctors and you're you are a doctor.
How come more doctors don't understand functional medicine.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
You know? Because this is I think the more a
doctor stays in practice, the more he begins to understand
that a lot of the things that he learned in
medical school don't actually work in the real world. So
I talked about this on my podcast this morning, is
that when we are trained, we are primarily trained in

(18:46):
hospital medicine, and what we are really trained to do
is who needs to go to the hospital and who doesn't.
That was really the goal. And so just think about
ob Joyn in g y N. What I would do
is I come in to do a pelvics them over
and over and over again until either you had an
abnormal paps mirror are your fabroids or your endometriosis was

(19:06):
so bad until we had to do some kind of
surgery or procedure. So you come in year after year
after year, and I say your fan, You find your fan,
and then all of a sudden, when the fabric got
bigger enough, Oh certain, So I was not taught that
when I saw a small problem, Hey tell them about
changing their diet, measure their harmones through saliva, look at
their sorts. No, we were just saying, you fan, your fan,

(19:28):
your fan, your fan. Now we need to do surgery.
You fan, your fan, you find your fan. Now you
have cancer. You fan, your fan, your fan, your your fan.
Now you have diabetes. No, you don't. You don't develop
those from yesterday to today. Those are a process. And
in functional medicine we try to interrupt the process so
you never get to the disease, the surgery or whatever.

(19:51):
So that's the doctors just aren't trained and if you
want to learn it, you have to go outside of
medicine to learn it. You really do. And uh, and
so that's why I'm even trying to develop something called
beyond the white Coat, where I'm teaching physicians. This is
that let's get beyond the white coat, beyond what you
were trained, and let's move into a I'm sorry, we

(20:14):
lost me.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Hey, I want to get I want to get this
question in. This is uh, Charlotte in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Once you know what's the difference between doing a blood
test versus the salive?

Speaker 4 (20:30):
All right, now, hey, I would tell you to go
to my YouTube channel I can tell you all about that.
But here, so let me give you this.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
If you're Charlotte, have you ever gone into the office
and they and you had a harmone problem and they
showed you a blood test that was abnormal. It doesn't happen, Okay.
You can have fabroids, you can have endometrosis, you can
have irregular bleeding, you can have whatever. And your blood
tests if your pre menopause is going to say normal

(20:57):
because it is only looking at what is in the blood,
is not looking at what's in the tissue. Only about
one to two percent of your hormone is actually in
the tissue doing what it's supposed to do. The saliva
gives you a tissue measurement. That's what you want. The
blood is just a highway system taking something from one
place to the other. You want to know what is

(21:18):
going on at the place where the harmone got delivered. So,
to make a long story short, blood doesn't tell you anything.
I did a residency in Obi Juyane and we never
drew blood levels for harmones because we knew they didn't
tell us anything. I didn't learn about saliva testing until
my wife start having hormone problems and I had to
look for another way to find the answer. So I

(21:39):
had to look at a different type of tests, and
saliva is the different type of tests that I've been
using for twenty five years, and I know clinically it
gives me information that I can use and we can
prove it through repeat testing and using biodentical hormones and
all of those things. So that's what we talk about
in the AGS blueprint. In my Hormone Clarity course, I

(22:00):
tell you I can make you an honorary gynecologist and
you can understand everything about your heartmones. Taken that little
simple course.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Well I got here. First of all, just tell everybody
you do have a show every Wednesday at nine o'clock
Eastern time. Yeah, you've got to sign up for the
school www dot school spelled skoo l. How do they

(22:30):
