Printable Biography of Eldred B. Taylor, M.D.

When all his skills as a physician could not bring relief to his wife after the birth of their second child, Dr. Eldred Taylor began his search for a new understanding of the many factors that impact on the physical health and overall wellbeing of women.

Dr. Taylor was inspired by John Maxwell’s concept that if one spent 15 minutes a day studying a given topic, one could become an expert in 5 years. Determined to find new ways to help his wife and other patients, Dr. Taylor accelerated his commitment to becoming an expert on women’s wellness. He searched for connections every day between hormonal cycles and symptoms with the goal to finding new answers.
