Our Team

Cesar Taylor, M.D.

Dr. Cesar Taylor has practiced anesthesiology for over 20 yrs. He attended Rice University for his undergraduate degree. From there, he went on to receive his medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, TX, and his anesthesiology training at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston , TX. His interests include Highly Reliable Organizations, human factors in medical errors, Life extension, mental health, and human behavior. His views on the state of healthcare and the human condition are shaped by his clinical experience and his seven-year tenure as medical director for his former hospital in Austin TX. The interventions presented by The Phoenix Project are selected based on the strength of evidence and their benefit-risk ratio. A decade ago he transformed his life by shifting from a student of to a practitioner of these interventions. Today he continues to learn and strives to live in practice. Having turned his interests into a passion, his purpose now—the purpose of The Phoenix Project, is to share what he has learned, because everyone deserves to take control of their health and optimize what he has termed their FLOWSPAN. This is something that no outside institution, medication, or supplement can do. This is a goal achieved only through our own actions, thus our mantra: only YOU can change.
