She shares her personal journey with hormonal issues and emphasizes the importance of understanding the root causes of hormonal imbalances rather than relying solely on birth control as a solution. The discussion covers the effects of birth control on women's health, the significance of functional testing, and the role of nutrition in managing hormonal health. Taylor also highlights the need for personalized care and the impact of mental health and gut health on hormonal balance.

Her mission is to ensure women no longer feel dismissed by conventional medicine and instead have the support they need to thrive.
