3180: Low Potassium & Spironolactone, Searching for Podcasts, Detox Follow Up, Watery Eye, Root Cause of MCAS, NAC & Thyroid (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Renne: hi dr. cabral! after many years of stubborn acne and not seeing the results from my functional efforts, i reached a point where i was willing to try spironolactone for reducing androgen production. after only 8 days on 50mg, i developed intense right side flank/kidney pain that was also associated with heart flutters. i stopped the meds and everything subsided after 3 or so days. could my low potassium have caused this? any thoughts?   Angie: Thank you for making functional medicine more accessible and affordable to all! I have a few questions…. How do I know what podcast episode to listen to for the answers? I did the two week detox and I still don’t feel well. I didn’t lose any weight, I was hungry the whole time, my stomach still feels bloated and I am still gassy. What now? Also can you tell me what you think of Truvani’s products by the food babe?    Lorie: My right eye waters off and on all day long. Especially in the cold, or when air blows on me. It is not dry eye or a problem with my tear duct being blocked. Is there anything I can do for it? The eye doctors have not been able to help me. This has been going on for at least 15 years. Thank you   Mia: I have been dealing with gut issues for a while and recently developed Mast cell activation syndrome. Could the root cause of MCAS be the gut issues? And, could dealing with that could resolve the MCAS?I keep hearing MCAS is progressive and not curable (and mine is progressively getting worse every few months) and am very scared because the symptoms of MCAS are quite terrible. Is there any suggested testing or tips to dealing with it?   Terri: Hi Dr. Cabral~ Thank you for having the best podcast ANYWHERE and for being so generous with your time and knowledge. I am a 61-year-old woman and have normal, although probably not optimal, thyroid levels. I recently shot up rather suddenly into the 6+ TSH range with really no explanation that I can think of from a dietary or environmental exposure standpoint. My question is… I had a few recent incidences of ingesting an NAC supplement with an inadequate amount of water and the burning in my throat was excruciating and lasted about 15-20 minutes each time. Is it possible that this could have damaged my thyroid and if so, is it reparable? Thanks so much for taking my question!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3180 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3179: Low Dose Ketamine, Avoiding Plastics, Urethritis, Water Filters, Procell & Anti-Aging (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral , what is your opinion on low dose Ketamine? I know you spoke of it briefly a year or so ago but on not daily low dose, and at that time you were still researching between Ketamine and Psilocybin. What have your findings been ? I’m considering trying low dose ketamine for SEVERE Sensory overload, anxiety & now depression because it’s robbing my life . I’ve been working on root cause , doing protocols, detoxes ect and have improved a lot but that just won’t leave and by far the most worst of my symptoms. I tried SSRIs and my body does not like them at all , on Xanax now just to barely function and refuse to go up in dose per my Dr. wanting me to increase dose to help . Hoping your research can help my decision. I’m in CA and I don’t think psilocybin is legal here yet .   Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I try to avoid plastics whenever possible but sometimes they are hard to avoid. What about local honey at the farmers market that comes in a plastic bottle? Or drinking chilled water out of a plastic insulated thermos? I know leaching is terrible when the plastic is heated, but curious if the plastic doesn't get hot if it is just as bad. thanks   Anonymous: I tested positive for an STD called Ureaplasma, which is know to cause PID and infertility. I've taken many rounds of antibiotics and it has not gone away. I am also experiencing mild symptoms of urethritis which this is known to cause. I was wondering if there is any natural treatment for STDs or urethritis. I am also wondering if taking biofilms with the next round of antibiotics could help the antibiotics work better?   Sara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I just read your article on alkalized water and was wondering if there is whole home filter you would recommend. I have a small filter under my house and need to replace it. I looked at the AquaTru under sink filter, which looks great, but is there a good option to have a whole house alkalized filter? Thanks! Sara   Cindy: First , thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge so freely! I’m always looking for safe alternatives for anti-aging/beauty products in lieu of injectables, etc. Are you familiar with Procell? Procell uses microchanning along with a topically applied serum. According to their website “Procell’s Microchannel Delivery Serum contains bone marrow-derived growth factors in a hyaluronic acid suspension. Both of these elements are naturally-occurring in the human body. There are no human, animal, or plant cells, DNA, blood, or any other foreign substances. The product has been used safely and effectively for over a decade.” How does one determine the safety of a product like this? I value your opinion! Is Procell therapy safe? Is microchanneling safe?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3179 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3173: Vinegar & Cancer, Cervical Dystonia, Low Alkaline Phosphatase, Morning Detox Shake, Salt & Arsenic (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Marica: Hello Dr Cabral, Grateful for all that you do. I recently came across a couple of articles wherein they say that vinegar (due to its acidity) can cause cancer because cancer loves sugar and acidity. What is your take on this? I was of the impression that apple cider vinegar was healthy. Should we replace vinegar with lemon? Isn't lemon acidic too? Whenever I feel that I finally got diet figured out I come across something like this.     Pati: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for all that you do! I have learned so much from you on my healing journey. I wanted to ask you if you’ve ever heard of cervical dystonia. A friend was recently diagnosed and her head tilts to the left. She is experiencing a lot of pain from it. Is there any advice you can give. According to Google there is no cure. Thank you, Pati     Alex: Hey dr Cabral. Thank you for all of the information you put out there. I searched for my question but you haven’t gone over it in over 2000 episodes and my podcast player won’t play it. My blood work shows low alp (Alkaline phosphatase). Fortunately other than slightly out of wack testosterone and slightly elevated bp the rest of my blood work is good I just always have low alp.     Debbie: Today I started the 7 day detox ( I could not send notification so I can get daily e mails because it wouldn't let me I have a question....It says to drink the shake at 8:00 am an hour after you get up....well today is my day off & I do not get up that early on my days off as I am up at 5:30 during the week. My job is super physical & my body is tired.So today I drank the first shake at 9:00 as soon as I woke up....(why do you have to be up for an hour before you consume the shake)? I guess I will stay on track & drink the next one at 11:30 & 3 1/2 hours after that.Is this going to mess anything up?     Melissa: I saw recently that Redmond’s real salt tested high for lead and arsenic. I use redmonds salt and their relyte electrolytes. My heavy metals test came back high for arsenic. Could this be a cause? I could it figure out another source of where I would be getting it. It is so frustrating and confusing trying to find brands you can trust as I have always thought Redmonds was great.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3173 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3172: Psoriasis Flare, Long Term Cannabis Use, Bloating & Abdomen Pain, Vegetable Starch Powder, Sleep & Detox, NAD & Fatty15 (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Daniel: Hi there Dr Cabral, first of all want to say I’ve followed you now for close to 5 years. The impact you’ve had on mine and my famly’s life is immeasurable. I am certain we will all lead a longer and healthier life due to you. Thank u. Ok so, I suffer from psoriasis and have now done the CBO protocol 4x’s.I have done it because every summer I tend to eat more cheat meals on vacation and drink more alcoholic beverages which gets me flared back up. After each protocol my results are amazing. This time, though I’d like to really stay committed and realign myself when I get off track. I take gluten dairy Support for cheat meals and 2 probiotics a day. What else would you suggest I do when I have a couple of really bad weeks and start to flare up? Citricidal drop/florafilm/intestinal cleanse? Ty     Anonymous: HI Dr Cabral, I've recently that long term cannabis use causes pre-mature aging of the brain. What can you advise someone do to best heal and recover from such long term use? Also, what are your thoughts on DMSO with regards to this particular modality? Ive heard of stroke patients recovering from using it, so curious what effects it may have. Thanks     Paul: Hi Dr. Cabral, I appreciate you and all that you share. I’ve had gut issues for some time and I’m starting the CBO protocol soon after trying so many things. One thing I can’t figure out is there seems to be a link between having tension in my lower left abdomen (near pelvic bone and feels like a muscle that I can massage) and experiencing gut issues like feeling bloated. I never feel this in my right abdomen. It doesn’t hurt but I can feel it (sometimes smooth and sometimes like bigger balls). What could this be? Thank you!      Jeff: I have purchased the CBO protocol and all the supplements just not sure about adding vegetable starch to my meals. do I want to get vegetable starch powder? Or just cut up the vegetables that provide starch? if you could please get back to me that would be greatly appreciated     Sandra: I’m on my second week of detox. I’m having a tough time trying to sleep at any suggestion. I’ve tried everything that I can think of. Appreciate your time and wonderfulness.     Lindsay: Hi Dr Cabral. I'm thinking of taking TruNiagen's NAD. Is there anything bad about takin NAD? also what is your opinion of Fatty15.

3166: Reducing Food & Environmental Allergies, Heart Medication, Berberine Use, Feeling Sick in the Sun, Lingering Sickness in Kids (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Raquel: Hi, I wanted to know if it's possible to get rid of food and environmental allergies. I cannot tolerate fruits, vegetables, nuts, and nickel-containing products due to these. Even if I cook everything (OAS), I still get an itchy mouth, wheezing, and/or vomiting/diarrhea (especially with eggplant, coconut, and nuts). I did IgE blood and skin testing and was allergic to everything tested. I also tried allergy shots for 5 years. I also have IBS-D and fiber/grains are a major trigger. The one thing that has worked to reduce my symptoms (hives, itchy mouth, asthma, diarrhea) is to eat an elimination diet (no plants), but I am worried about this long term. I am allergic to your HistPro and Sinus Support supplements I assume due to the plants in them. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks so much!     Matthew: My mother saw her doctor and he told her that her heart is not pumping enough blood throughout her body and she needs to see specialist. Now on the allopathic side I know they’re gonna have her take heart medication. I know my experience that heart medication causes so many problems overtime just like other medication cause problems. I wanted to know what can she do for a naturopathic/ functional medicine perspective, or should I say try before she goes into the medication aspect? Because from the sounds of it to me, her EF or ejection fracture is lower than it should be. I may be wrong but that’s what it sounds like to me. I’m hoping you can help thanks     Amy: Should one take a break from berberine need to be stopped after taking it 6 months? It is the only thing that stopped my hot flashes so i don't want to stop.     Maria: Why does the heat of the sun make me feel sick?     Jillian: My 3.5 year old daughter develops a cough that can last a month+ after being sick. This cough wakes her at night, sometimes causing her to vomit from coughing so hard. During these times she will cough after running around also. This happens every few months, with some time in between of no symptoms. It seems like asthma but I am unsure of what to do. How safe are breathing treatments and inhalers for children? Does this mean she requires antibiotics to clear any infection from a lingering sickness? Most importantly, why would this be happening to her? Would removing tonsils help? I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons of treating her with western medicine letting it be and seeing if it stops as she gets older. She’s only had antibiotics once in her life and eats fairly well for a toddler.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3166 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3165: EMF Protection, Thyroid Medication, Melatonin Use, Lifewave X39, Diabetes Insipidus, Red Face, Elevated TPOab (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Dave: Do you recommend the Harmoni pendant for EMF protection? I have seen other people in the natural health space recommend them and I am wondering your thoughts.     Maurna: I have been on thyroid medication for over 25 years. I am 58 and Currently on NP Thyroid. Can I heal my body to the point I would no longer need it? Or has my body shutdown producing hormones due to the fact I have supplemented for so long. Also I have read you should not take melatonin too long because your body will stop producing it. You offer a melatonin supplement so is that false. Thanks for your time and advice. My fiancé and I met later in life and are focusing on health to live our best lives together. We live in WA and are looking forward to when the big 5 lab tests become available.     Kim: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your effort in teaching the world about health and how we can take ownership in healthily living. My Question: What do you know about Lifewave X39? My doctor recommended I try it for my health issues. I have worsening arthritis and other autoimmune issues. Thank you for your feedback!     Heather: Hey Doc! Appreciate you taking the time to answer our questions as always! I have two questions: 1 - Can you talk a bit about Diabetes Insipidus? My 5-year-old cousin just got diagnosed with it and the doctors are saying he has to be on medication the rest of his life for it. Do you know what underlying root causes can cause this? 2. When I do a harder workout, my face gets real red except the area above my upper lip which the skin tone stays the same. I usually have a little bit of redness on my face daily but again, the area above my lip doesn’t go red. So one, what could be the reason for this & two, is it normal for your face to get super red after a hard workout? Thanks again!!   Maria: Is treating an elevated/out of range TPOab part of the thyroid outside the scope of practice of an IHP?     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3165 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3159: Food Sensitivity & Immune System, Gut Health & Kids, Garlic & Onions & Digestion, Fasting & Hypoglycemia (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - on my food sensitivity test call, the coach said that there would be concern if a person didn’t have any immune reactions to food because food is a foreign invader of the body. I see what she’s saying to a certain extent but this was confusing to me because I thought the point of taking the test was to figure out your sensitivities and remove them for a certain period of time then reintroduce them to see if you’re still sensitive…the goal being to remove a negative immune reaction and reduce stress on your body. Maybe I was misunderstanding what she was saying but this just sounded counterintuitive to me. Can you please explain? Could the sensitivities be affecting the IgG part of your immune system in which wouldn’t you want to remove them?     Dylaini: (Pronounced: Delaney) Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for all of the knowledge and information you share. I am an RN hoping to make the jump to IHP soon! My son is 13 months old and he’s already been on antibiotics 3x… once for fever of unknown origin at 50 days old and 2 other for ear infections. I know you and your coaches don’t see kids until three years old. Are there any tips you have for kids under three to rebuild gut Microbiome because of these antibiotics and any suggestions of what to do to instead to avoid them in the future.     Jackie: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for all you do. Your team and the work you do have been life changing for me. I struggle with garlic and onions - they cause me to burp & have gas for 48hours. It also take 3-4 days for me stop stinking (even with daily sauna/cardio)- very unpleasant. I don't eat them unless at family or friends or out of my direct control as a common cooking ingredient. Is there anything I can do to help with digestion. For context did big 5 no food intolerances other than eggs/Brazil nuts - FMD 21, HVM, CBO, CBO FIN, & FMD 7. I also ran allergy tests and nothing came back. I take HCL + digestive enzymes with meals to support digestion. Would love your insights     Hannah: Hi Dr Cabral you’re so amazing, thanks for all you do! I probably have some insulin resistance (years of high carb/ processed diet) GD during pregnancy (failed by 2 pts) tinnitus acquired during third trimester. Since the tinnitus started I have been determined to turn my health around for me and my family! I tried to do a 36 hour water fast and I became tachycardic, BG 44 after 35 hours and had to eat something. I am 4’11” 96lb, Any advice with how to fast while dealing with hypoglycemia?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3159 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3158: EPG Ingredient, Overactive Bladder, Detox & Heavy Metals, Salt Air Recommendation, Low IgG & Food Sensitivity (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral. Recently, I was eating "healthy" ice cream and noticed an ingredient I am unfamiliar with, EPG. Its listed as a modified plant based oil and, upon a bit of research, I got the feeling this is another sneaky fat substitute that we might need to be aware of. Do you have any thoughts on this? Many thanks for everything you do in the health space :)     Jennifer: Thank you for all your help and knowledge. Is there a root cause, or a way to heal an overactive bladder and lost of bladder control?     Diego: Does the 21 day detox plan do away with heavy metals in our bodies? If not, what exactly will it remove?     Yvonne: SaltAir UV – Ultrasonic Air Salinizer - love being in salt air - my skin loves it, psoriasis basically disappears in this environment and better for breathing rather than the dry environment I live in - will this product help or would it be harmful indoors since typically salt air, although good for us, is harmful to our homes and cars due to corrosion, etc.?     Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - I recently took your food sensitivity test and had my coaching call but left with a couple questions still. I had a moderate sensitivity to egg whites and Brazil nuts and low sensitivity to pineapples and almonds. I was having eggs, almonds and Brazil nuts almost every day before the test. The reason I took this test is because my IgG levels have been very low since 2019 (could have always been low but this is when I first tested it). The coach said she couldn’t tell me if my low IgG could be related to these sensitivities. I was hoping you could expand on this and provide some more insight into why this may or may not be correlated. Since they’re both IgG related, I was hoping for a connection to maybe figure out why I have low levels (subclass 1, 2 & 4).

3152: High Blood Sugar, Citric Acid, Annual Pap Screening, Reducing Blood Sugar, Where to Start (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Diana: Hi Dr. Cabral. I started wearing a CGM two weeks ago and my blood glucose levels are constantly elevated above 100. It’s not due to the way I eat; in fact, eating will raise my blood sugar about 20 points, but they’ll then drop to healthy levels after two hours. Following this, my blood sugar will rise again to over 100. I’ve had ME/CFS for almost 30 years and have such an intolerance to exertion that I can’t take a five minute walk without crashing, so I can’t turn to exercise to help manage my blood sugar. What could cause this and what can I do to help bring my blood sugar levels down into a healthier range?     Mindy: Hi! I've been hearing a lot about how citric acid is horrible for you and is often made from mold. I know in other podcasts you've said that not all citric acid is bad and can be made from other things. Is there a way to tell what it's made from? Should we be looking for a non GMO label? Thank you!     Lisa: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do as you have provided me with a tremendous amount of knowledge in my wellness journey. I have a question I have not been able to determine the reason why and best approach. Historically I received an annual Papanicolaou (Pap) test but now informed recommendations have switched to every 3-5 years, depending upon the patient. I have always believed one of the tools to cancer prevention is screening. Do you have any reasoning why it would have been lengthened to every 3-5 years? Is this the best approach to this 'area' of cancer screening or do you have an alternative screening you recommend? I reviewed your podcast archives and unfortunately have not seen something specific to this topic, apologize if you already answered.     Kelsey: hi dr. cabral, i’m noticing i have insulin resistance fairly bad. i wake up with a fasted glucose between 100-110 almost daily. i eat a low carb diet with healthy fats and protein primarily but any time a starch / sugar is involved… it takes hours, sometimes days, to return to my baseline of 100. this is with healthy carbs like potatoes and fruit. some background is i have SIBO (currently on CBO protocol and PCOS w/ high androgens). ive experimented with longer fasts and i can go days without food with my blood sugar only reaching somewhere in the 90’s. i feel very good with no energy issues and i would have no idea i had this issue without deciding to get a CGM one day. can you please tell me the steps you’d take in reducing my blood sugar over time? thank you.     Barbie: Dr Cabral, I desperately need your help. I have been to over 40 doctors and spent thousands of dollars on labs, supplements, medications, etc. and I can't find anyone that can help me get better. my depression and anxiety because of all this is out of control. I can't take anymore. I am to my whit's end.... can and will you PLEASE help me?

3151: SPECT Brain Scans, Itchy Legs, Pitta Imbalance, Pectin & Canning, Elevated Thyroid (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Jennifer: I am wondering what your thoughts are on the SPECT (Brain) Scans that Dr Daniel Amen recommends to clients with brain disorders or concerns, especially if there is a history of head injury?     Lara: Hi Stephen, Hope you can help. When i go to bed at night i am tired and ready to fall asleep, then when i almost fall asleep my legs start to itch very badly. I can go on for hours and it wakes me up everynight, sometimes it goes away for a while but always returnes after a few days or weeks.     Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! i have an ayurvedic-based question. i tend to have a pitta imbalance and recently it's been worse than usual. my body has been hot, especially at night, my tongue has a light yellow coating and i struggled with mild insulin resistance + acne (pcos). i'm currently on the CBO protocol and meditating like my life depends on it to calm the body down. my questions are 1) if i'm already running hot, have i been doing myself a disservice by doing the sauna every single day? and 2) is there anything else you'd recommend right off the bat to rebalance pitta?     Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am getting into preserving my own food and have been learning about the process. I got a canning book and it splits jam recipes into those with added pectin and those without it. It says that pectin is a fiber naturally found in fruits and vegetables, and that adding it to jams reduces cooking time and increases its ability to gel. Since it is naturally found in fruit I didn't think it would be bad to add, but after some research I am getting conflicted information. Please share your thoughts, you are a trusted voice in our household!

3145: Neuromechanical Therapy, Type 1 Diabetes, Daily Supplements, Rheumatoid Arthritis & Ankylosing Spondylitis, Natural Help for Osteoporosis (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Anonymous: Hello. I’m wondering what your thoughts are on neuromechanical therapy, where a therapist guides you through important situations from your life or even before you were born in your mother’s belly and how it’s impacted your body and its responses to stress and such while tapping on certain points or pressing on them, etc. Thank you     Liz: I just received your book & 3 home tests. I’ve had a fibromyalgia and Hashimotos diagnosis since giving birth to my last child at 39.5 years old. This child was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 3 month before her 3rd birthday. I am really excited to begin my journey of taking my health back and healing my body! My question is, after reading the section about Th1 Immune System Dominance, if it’s possible to improve or reverse Hashimotos, can the same happen with T1D? I’ve never heard of anyone reversing this disease. Her grandmother is also T1 and I have always heard there is nothing anyone can do to heal from this, just treat it. I just wanted your take on this particular disease & if you can point me to some more research for T1D & a functional medicine approach if there is one. Thank you!     Al: Dr. Cabral. I don’t have any real health or weight issues and would like to support my body to stay that way. Once a year, I do AIP dietary protocol (just fish, poultry, broth, vegetables, low-glycemic fruits, olive & coconut oil) for a month, but no supplements. Could you please suggest annual supplements that are the most economical for a healthy male in early 40’s. Could herbs like milk thistle, dandelion, NAC (for liver support), oregano, thyme, clove oils (for anti-bacterial/parasitic support) and maybe chlorella (for heavy metal detox) be taken together during that one month of AIP annually? Or would it be better to take some during AIP and others in a different time of a year? I eat and live clean during the whole year, but don’t have funds for any labs. Please advise, thank you.     Jennifer: I have both RA and AS. Is this rare to have 2 rheumatic diseases? Have you treated anyone with both? I’m about to purchase the Big 5 and start that journey. Carnivore worked great… for a while. I eat very clean and exercise. No excess weight, highly muscular     Chris: I was recently diagnosed w/osteoporosis and ortho dr is advising Forteo daily injections. Currently I am considered high risk as I've broken 3 bones in last yr & half. I am looking for other ways at this time than synthetic meds, tryin to find a more natural/holistic way of building back new bones cells. Do you know of any natural ways to do this? All of my labs (calcium, minerals, vit D, thyroid, negative for autoimmune, etc) are all normal. I already eat a clean diet - no fried foods, no fast foods, lots of greens, veggies, protein (both chicken/beef), 24hr urine came back w/high calcium. Im interested in learning of anything new I can potentially do vs injections.

3144: Lynch Syndrome, Chronic Smell, Daily Heart Palpitations, Cramps After Eating, Xanthan Gum (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Loren: I have been learning about all things health and wellness by listening to all the Cabral Pods; reading the info and purchasing devices, tests and vitamins with Equilife. Last year I finished a Nutrition & Healthy Life Certificate with Cornell. Time and money is a little tight at the moment or ai would start the IHP Program ASAP. What specifically would you recommend for someone in early 50s with Lynch Syndrome to have optimal health.     Tony: I have a smell in my nose that won't go away. Smells like body odor, but no one smells it when I ask them. Very annoying and frustrating. What could cause me to smell this all of the time? Pleas help.     Kurt: Hello Dr Cabral. Just want to start by saying I’m a huge fan and have been following you for some time now. You have helped me so much in my health journey. I’ve had a health concern for about two years now with no answers. I’ve seen multiple pcps, gastroenterologists as well as cardiologist and an endoscopy done as well with no answers. It’s been a very frustrating and hard time in my life. I’ve been very disappointed with conventional medicine. My main issue has been daily heart palpitations. All doctors have said that everything is normal and just want me to take beta blockers. I’ve tried these but they seem to make the palpitations worse. Have ran multiple food sensitivity tests, inflammation and minerals and metals test. Worked on the gut, it has helped but still there. Thank you.     Erica: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've noticed that when I eat certain foods (particularly non-organic dairy - i.e. sour cream or ice cream) my body will be sore / tense / tight the next day. It almost seems like my back will cramp up a bit and I'll be stiff. I've tested myself from an IGG standpoint and I'm not super sensitive to dairy (I'm in the green) and they were both gluten-free (I am sensitive to gluten similarly). Do you think there are certain types of chemicals / hormones in conventional dairy I am sensitive to? Also - do you think this is something I could ever fix and is the result of a different underlying issue? Thank you!     Lara: Hi, dr. C! I was looking for your podcasts about xanthan gum, remembering you said it’s not ok to use but then I stumbled upon your low FODMAP infographic which has xanthan gum on it! How so? Why would you put something on it that you say is not ok to use?

3138: Benefits of Black Seed Oil, Detox & Sleep, Reducing Scars, Chewing Ice & Mineral Deficiency, Night Sweats & Perimenopause, Packaging Products (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Mel: Hi. Thanks for all you do and the info you provide. It’s priceless! I’ve learnt so much. My question is about Black seed oil. What are your thoughts on its benefits? I’m constantly searching for natural ways to heal my skin and gut. Thanks again for your help.     Josh: Hello I have been trying to do several things to improve my overall deep sleep. I am on day four of the 7 day Cabral detox, it’s the first time doing this. I am hoping that this can help also with my deep sleep. But I got prescribed some trazodone from my family doctor to help with my sleep. I do not struggle to fall asleep. I wake up occasionally throughout the night. I’m fairly good at getting 8 to 8 1/2 hours of sleep per night, but even with the trazodone, I still only get, one hour of deep sleep. Since I’ve been on the detox, I still take the trazodone, but I only get about 30 minutes of deep sleep. I’m doing the tracking through my I watch ultra. I know it’s not the best tracker, but it gives me a general idea. honestly it feels like I haven’t really been able to get good sleep.     Laurie: Hi Dr. Cabral, First of all, I want to thank you for all the support you provide so many people, I really value and trust your advice. My question is regarding healing from a surgery. I have a surgery which will leave a scar on my neck. Do you recommend anything in particular to help fade this scar, maybe red light therapy and/or other things. thanks so much!     Erin: Are there any studies that link ice chewing with a mineral deficiency or any other sort of deficiency? I have been chronically addicted to chewing ice for almost three years… in this time I’ve had two babies. I’ve always been told “you’re low on iron.” Which was true during my pregnancies (a few points below normal) but since then they have returned to a normal level. I’ve done the iron supplements to no avail. Do I just need to break this bad “habit” or should I look into other underlying causes? What are your thoughts?     Samira: Hi doctor Cabral, What are your favoriete supplements or natural solutions to combat night sweats during perimenopause? I really appreciate you taking time to answer this. Thank you! Samira     Patricia: I was wondering why more supplement companies don’t use glass, aluminum or paper products for packaging. Besides the health benefits, there are massive environmental benefits. Would EquiLife consider making the switch?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3138 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3137: MRI Detox, Body Fever & Fried Foods, Hepatitis A & Detox, Nickel Allergy, Extreme Sensory Sensitivity (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Debby: I have a strong family history of breast cancer (non-BRCA) and dense breasts, so one of my primary annual screenings is an MRI. From what I understand, much of the gadolinium is removed via kidneys and urine. However, there is evidence that it can buildup in brains and bones, and long-term effects are not fully known. I was hoping you had a podcast about how to detox after an MRI, but didn't find anything. Any advice?     Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! i’m on the CBO protocol and ive noticed during flex meals if i have something fried (chips, fries) that i will get a body fever after. my stomach area is hot to the touch and my sleep is interrupted. is this a pitta imbalance or my body rejecting unfamiliar food? needless to say, it’s never worth it.     Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral - I had a look through the archive but only found a podcast about Autoimmune Hepatitis. A friend was recently "diagnosed" with (viral) Hepatitis A and has been dealing with a lot of fatigue and pain from the inflammation. Being a virus the doctor has said he needs to wait it out and told that he should have been vaccinated. Liver enzymes are low and I am wondering what support I can recommend. Standard dietary and lifestyle principles would apply specifically to liver detoxification and would the Dr Cabral Detox be beneficial or add more stress? I have read that it can be transmitted from an unvaccinated person, poor hygiene, contaminated water/food but that most people recover in about 6 months. Could you please share what you would do for someone in your family? Thank you     Sonia: Good morning Dr Cabral, Thank you for all the information you share, it has been really helpful. My question is: what do you recommend for someone with a nickel allergy, she is really overwhelmed since she was diagnosed with that, her food options are really limited. Thanks in advance.     Anonymous: Dr.Cabral please help ! I’m seriously worried about my physical and mental health .I have been suffering from EXTREME sensory sensitivity for a very very long time now 18 years . I’ve seen several holistic drs . I have done your big 5 and work with a coach , I have even tried meds but SSRIs I’ve had bad reactions to . I have used alcohol this whole time just to be able to be or host a social even , have dinner in crowded, place even to attend my kids sports functions .

I’m wondering if there’s anything we can do to strengthen or improve teeth enamel. I’ve noticed in the last few years that my teeth seem to be less thick/ more opaque. Is this a mineral issue? Thank you!     Marianne: Hello doctor Cabral, I’m tracking my cycle with an Oura ring and I experience a significant decrease in heart rate variability (HRV) accompanied by a notable rise in heart rate during my luteal phase. Is this a normal pattern? And if not, could you maybe let me know what could cause this? I’m a 46 year old female, very active, with a healthy weight and normal periods (27-30 days). Thanks so much for your answer. Best, Marianne     Lara: Hi, dr. C! Hope you, your family & Bacci are well.. I’ve listened to you explain what’s in Metavolve and how it works, so my question is, would you recommend it also for people with estrogen dominance, high stress levels, unregulated sleep & poor metabolism (also fibromyalgia) but their main goal is not weight loss? Thank you, you’re the best! Happy healing, everyone!     Maria: What does the research say about erythritol? Is it good or bad for you?     Rita: Dear Dr. Cabral Thank you so much for doing what you do with such passion and commitment!I've been struggling with pain for 3 years, and up till now, I thought I had a tooth problem, but after not finding anything after dental x rays, examinations, I had an MRT scan ( magnetic resonance tomography ) in May. In the last3years, at irregular intervals, sometime twice a month, sometimes only once in every3months, I had massive pain on the left side in my upper jaw area,in the gums+in 1 tooth+severe headache-only once it happened on the right side but the same pain:upper jaw, gums,1tooth,severe headache.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!

I posted a comment about it online & got a lot of heat from someone saying seed oils are not unhealthy... they sent me 30 PubMed research done on people (not animals) also concluding they are not so bad, especially sunflower oil. Their explanation: Heating won't be an issue. Canola, sunflower and rapeseed have some of the highest smoke points (400-450 F), yes they produce polar compounds when overheated, but the lesson there is to simply not overheat them. On a household stove, this really isn't a problem. As for the whole processing thing, doesn't matter either. During the refining process, seed oils are heated to a temp that drives off volatile compounds (steam distillation, it drives off aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, short chain fatty acids), which makes the oils MORE stable. That's why refined oils have higher smoke points and a longer shelf life than their unrefined counterparts. And that temp that the oils are heated to is lower than the temp necessary to oxidize the oil. As for hexane, we've been using since the 30s, and there's no evidence to substantiate any risk/danger to our health when trace amounts are ingested. Refined oils extracted with hexane contain (WAY worse, for a variety of reasons). This is what they said, a registered dietitian, citing 30 PubMed studies and when I wanted to send them your research from your shownotes, I couldn’t find anything on this scale.. could you please link the research you cite so we can actually substantiate why seed oils are unhealthy to cook with and which? Is sunflower oil ok to consume when unheated and organic? Thank you for being amazing!      Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I recently heard that taking laxatives for over a year can cause nerve damage to parts of the GI. I wanted to ask if Magnesium also carries this risk, particularly oxygenated magnesium like Oxypowder or Mag07? Ive been taking Oxygenated Magnesium everyday since 2020 as its helpful and I seem to have some difficulty going without that. I had a hyperparathyroidectomy for hyperparathyroidism in July 2023. I believe my motility or peristalsis was impacted since atleast 2020, as such a disease can take years to manifest. I find that my motility has improved some since, but not enough for me to discontinue the Magnesium. I often times combine 2 capsules Oxypowder with 1 capsule of Equilifes Full Spectrum Magnsium every night. Even with this, I often times do not get complete evac.     Lee: Hi Dr C. Im male an I often times get what feels like hotflashes almost immediately after eating. It feels like the body wants to get rid of whatever I just ate, right away. My Testosterone levels are at over 700 when I had them checked, so I dont think its low T. It seems like a histamine response thats often accompanied my heart burn and upper GI pain and discomfort. I do take quercetin and histapro, but I might only get relief from the hotflashes for short time. When I press against my stomach (right below the sternum) and take deep breaths, I can make my stomach gurgle. Its pretty loud and can do it consistently. Is that normal? Sometimes I get a bit of pain relief doing this, but it may only last a few seconds before the usual discomfort returns. This discomfort is there 24/7. Thanks       Lara: Hi, I noticed you listed Wholetones in your resources page as your Binaural Beats go-to.. I understood that you need to listen to those over headphones for best results but Wholetones offers speakers with prerecorded music in specific frequencies.. could you please explain how it works and if it is better with this speaker or over headphones? Also, can you provide any free binaural beats resources that work? I would think probably not from youtube, but I could be wrong? Thank you for your explanation and help, you’re amazing!     Anonymous: Hello, I’ve always had achy teeth, receding gums & lots of problems. Now it looks like my enamel has “chipped off” on the tops of the teeth, next to the gums - before you could just see some of the roots because of the receding gums but now there’s a lot of it and it’s darker than the rest of the teeth (I eat a lot of blueberries). I don’t remember if you ever said whether electric toothbrushes are ok or not and what would you recommend for this problem?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Joanna: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope this message finds you well and you're enjoying a beautiful summer! I've got two totally unrelated questions that I would love to get your take on: 1. Could you quickly explain what Sjorgren's syndrome is in your words, what could be causing it or what tests would help to find that out and what you would recommend if someone in your family suffered from that? 2. Could you see the drug industry investing more research into things like myostatin-inhibitors again to counteract the risks of muscle loss for people using GLP-1 agonists? Thanks for everything you do! Johann      Michael: Hey Steven, I haven’t messaged in a long time I still have primary Addisons disease and take the regular hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone daily. I’m just after having an emergency shot of hydrocortisone because I have a gastro bug and I want to recover quickly. Have you any tips on this please? Just so tired of being scared to get sick with this illness.     Lisa: Does meat cause cancer specially like prostate cancer or any other cancer? Can you use diet to stop it without treatment? WIll a whole food plant base diet help it? Is it possible to get colon cancer within 2 years of having colonoscopy? Will a ct scan show it or pet scan?     Mindy: Hi! I enjoy listening to your podcast each day and really trust your advice. I was wondering if you've heard of or looked into the Jaspr air filter? It's more expensive than the air doctor and I'm wondering if it is really effective and worth the price. Thanks for all you do!     Pip: Hi Dr Cabral. I’m 35 and have been diagnosed with idiopathic cervical dystonia tremor. I’ve had it on and off for about ten years however this year it has got considerably worse and affects me daily in activities. The neurologist has referred me to another neurologist specialising in dystonia who will inject Botox into my neck muscle to relax it and stop the tremor. This is a three monthly treatment for the rest of my life. Apparently there is no cure but I’d like to think there is SOMETHING natural / alternative I can do to stop or reduce the tremor. I’d love to hear your suggestions? Thank you.

3123: Bile Stone Flush, Calendars & Scheduling, Airport Water, DNS & Bloating, Spicy Food (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, I wanted to ask what your thoughts are on the liver and gallbladder flush solution resulting in the expulsion of soap stones rather than gall stones. There are other doctors on YouTube claiming that you expel the lemon juice and olive oil mixture rather than gall stones. Their argument is that fat plus alkaline solution results in soap. I don't agree with this but I have done 8 flushes over the course of a few years and have not experienced much benefit. I still have quite a few gi issues that I'm still working to resolve. Thanks.     Taras: Hi Dr., Thanks for the great podcasts. I like your idea of switching from todo list towards calendar. What calendar tools, apps, methods are you using Thanks,     Amanda: Hi doctor Cabral, With holiday travel coming up and limited package options at the airports, if you had to choose between water from a plastic bottle or no water at all, which would you prefer? Thanks! Amanda     Anonymous: Hello Dr Cabral. I love the DNS for its nutritional make up and complete vitamins and minerals, but it gives me bloating. I am certain that this is caused by the DNS because if I discontinue it the symptoms go away. My guess is that it is due to the pea protein since I don’t digest legumes well in general. Would you please speak to this and possibly recommend another similar product? I wish I could digest it but the symptoms and discomfort are not worth the gain. Would you ever make a DNS without pea protein, whey perhaps? Thanks     Oliver: Hi Dr Cabral, I have an issue with spicy food. Any time I eat spicy food it causes gut issues and diarrhoea. Any tips on what causing this and how to prevent it? I have searched previous podcasts and can only find questions around spice and acid reflux which is not an issue. I’m also lactose intolerant, not sure if that makes a difference but I know milk helps neutralise spice.     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3123 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3117: Low Pancreatic Elastase, Tetanus, Detox Options, Vitality Tests, High Cholesterol & Berberine (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Ali: Hello Dr.Cabral. Can you please explain low pancreatic elastase on stool test. I have no GI symptoms or diagnosed disease, but out of curiosity ran comprehensive stool analysis, where pancreatic enzymes were low, butyrate producing bacteria were low and a positive h.pylori was found. Can those two be related? What specific food & supplements can I take to increase pancreatic elastase when dealing with h.pylori? Also, what’s your stand on clostridium butyricum as a probiotic supplement to increase butyrate production? Thank you     Patrick: Hey dr hope all is well. I know theres certain things you don’t like to talk about for certain reasons but i was wondering if you could give some information on getting a tetanus shot. Im 50 and know Its been a while since i have had one. Thanks keep up the great work     Lauren: (Product Review) have you heard of the sanctuary holistic wellness detox? Is it a good option for a detox? Is it normal to see parasites? Or is that too extreme of a detox?     Josh: Good Morning, Re-listening to latest mindpump episode with Dr Stephen Cabral 2332 and he mentions 10 vitality tests but only mentions one that I can find (A full body MRI). Looking to see what the complete list of 10 vitality tests are and if there is any content where this is posted to review. Thanks in advance for any info. Regards, Josh     Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a 63 year old female, not overweight, moderate exercise x3/week. High cholesterol runs in my family and mine’s been high since my twenties. I just got my bloods back and total cholesterol is 8.3, HDL 1.5 , LDL6.4, Triglycerides normal. Lipoprotein ratio is 0.89. I have always eaten high carb, lots of sugar. My doctor has insisted on putting me on Statins since an ultrasound of my carotic arteries shows minor very soft plaque, lining within normal limits. I have now cut out sugar and added more fish, meat eggs, Omega 3, magnesium and vitamin D. Now I’m worried that the increased protein especially meat and eggs will raise my cholesterol level further. Would Berberine help for cholesterol? I often have low blood sugar so does that matter?

3116: Stuck in Health Journey, Vagal Schwannoma, Sparkling Water & Bone Density, Burning Sensation, Sciatica Pain (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Molly: Hi doctor Cabral, I'm feeling a bit stuck in my health journey right now. I'm a 45-year old female. After undergoing several tests, I've discovered that I have low levels of DHEA, progesterone, and estrogen, as well as low thyroid function and dysbiosis. I'm struggling to figure out where to begin addressing these issues. It's unclear whether the dysbiosis is causing the hormonal imbalances, or if it's the other way around. Additionally, I'm not sure if stress might be contributing to all of these issues. I feel like I'm going in circles, and I would really appreciate any advice you may have on how to proceed. Thank you so much for your help! Molly     Laurie: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all your knowledge and generosity. You've made a big difference in my life! My question is, I found out I have a vagal schwannoma in my neck right next to the carotid bi-furcation. We have been watching it for 2.5 years with MRI's every 6 months. After slow growth we've decided I should just remove it and move on with my life. We looked into radiation as well, but for some reason, despite all the risks I face with this location being operated on, I'm leaning towards surgery. But I would really love to know what you would advise. Also, should I do the surgery which is scheduled for this summer, how would you suggest I prepare for the surgery and how are there certain things I should have ready to help heal from the surgery? Thank you so much for your advice.     Kristen: Are sparkling waters bad for our bones? I drink about 2 Spindrifts per day (in addition to plenty of plain water, small amounts of coffee in the morning, and tea several times per day). I was diagnosed with osteopenia so I need to be extra cautious. I’ve already made so many changes (including the decrease in coffee- just to name one of MANY). I really enjoy the sparking waters and do not want to take them out unnecessarily, but I worry their higher acidity is bad for my bones. From my understanding, there are not any solid ‘studies’ that show non-cola carbonated waters are linked with low bone density BUT rationally speaking, they probably do. Please tell me I’m wrong though! Thank you!     Zach: Since 2020-20221 (when I got sick) I have been having different sensations take place on my skin. It feels a penny is being heated up and pushed onto my skin making it feel like a burn or cold-water dripping. There are no visual marks on my skin when these take place. The sensation can show up anywhere from my arm, chest, leg, hand etc. and only stays in a spot for seconds. It doesn't hurt but is extremely annoying as this has been going on for a few years now. Do you have any idea what this is? I recently sent my test in as I purchased the big 5 and a consultation with Jenn.     Jessica: My mom has debilitating sciatica pain. She had an injury in her back 30 years ago where she twisted her back and pinched a nerve but the pain is only coming back terrible now … nothing is helping including acupuncture, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments etc. What do you recommend??     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3116 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3110: Parasite Protocol, Blood Flow in Hands, Breathing & Toxins, Period & Caloric Intake, Bicuspid Heart Valve Leakage (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Laurie: Hi Dr. Cabral, First of all, thank you so much for all the information you provide. You’ve already helped me immensely! I saw a tiny tiny white worm in my stool and confirmed this with a stool test by my PCP. I tested positive for parasite or ova. I just ordered your para cleanse but I’m wondering if taking that 1 time will be enough. Should I be doing more? I heard a keto diet is helpful? Anything extra I should do? When should I retest? So surprised I saw this worm because I don’t feel I have any symptoms at the moment, no real bloating, constipation ( as long as I take Mg before bed), diarrhea, some sleep disturbance with waking in the night but since resolving my thyroid that’s improved, also haven’t had food poisoning in 13 yrs. I also eat very well and take garlic tablets.thanks!     Scott: Hello Dr. Cabral, my question is about blood flow. It seems it always happens in the warmer and hot months (in the cold too) but, when I keep my arms down by my side or, at least somewhat lower than my upper body, they get REALLY red. When I push into my skin the color turns natural skin color, than instantly turns red again. I can hold my arms above my head and the color ends up going back to normal. Blood pressure has always been good, I do get flushed in the face at times, but, my hands are always red. Also, the back of my arms (triceps) get red when my arms get warm like when I work out, or, the sun hits it. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you for all you do, you are a mentor sir!!!     Lynn: Hi Dr. Cabral - for the past 5 or 6 months, it feels like when I breath there are toxins in the air, but it doesn't matter where I am - home, work, outside. It's hard to explain, but it's almost like the air is heavy, or I'm breathing in dust spores. At first, I was thinking it was the furnace (like not filtering dust, etc.), but it's not on now, and again, it's not just at my house. Plus, I have a high quality air filter at home and work. When I go to bed, it almost feels somewhat difficult to breathe because of this sensation. I'm at a loss, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for all that you do!     Jackie: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for all that you and your team do you have me greatly. I have run Big 5 --> 21 FMD --> Heavy metal + Estrogen dom --> and now in CBO. Everything has gotten much better with my PMS and general health. The one lingering symptom I have is for 3 days before my menstural cycle my percieved caloric and carb needs go up drastically - I am a bottomless pit :) For context I eat 120-150g of carbs from fruit and veggies + 18ish% bf. I am trying to figure out what my body actually needs because I can't believe that it actually needs double. My blood sugar is usually between 4.7-5.2 in the morning.     Pete: Hi Dr C Thanks for everything you do I really appreciate you and all you have created. My question is about the bicuspid heart valve and the leakage. I have been ‘diagnosed’ as having severe leakage and a valve replacement is needed asap. I have no symptoms what so ever, I’m an in shape active 40yr old, surf and eat really well I listened to a previous house call and you said to follow a Mediterranean diet and foundational protocol level 2 or 3 Is there anything else you could recommend you would do ?

3109: Feta Cheese, OS-01 Peptide & Skincare, Root Cause of High SHBG, Latent Herpes, Chronic Night Waking (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral! I recently rediscovered feta cheese, and I love it , I guess I have some Mediterranean lineage. ;-) What’s your view point on Feta / Greek cheese from grass fed and grass finished sheep’s and goats? Ideally unpasteurized but I would like to hear your opinion on pasteurized as well. Something we can eat on a regular basis? ;-) I hope it’s a yes, lol. Or does it fit better into a flex meal? Thanks for the work you do. Wishing you a fantastic day! :-D     Heather: Hi Dr. Cabral, I purchased the OS-01 Face & OS-1 Eye products based on your recommendation. Upon receipt, I scanned them into the Yuka app, which deciphers product labels & analyzes the health impact of food products & cosmetics. After scanning both items, the Yuka app rates them both as "poor," which surprised me. The app shows that they both include phenoxyethanol, which is used in cosmetics as a preservative to prevent growth of microorganisms. It states that phenoxyethanol has a moderate risk for us since it is a potential endocrine disrupter, is a potential allergen, & can also be an irritant. Can you share your thoughts on this? Also, I read research that states the GHK-Cu peptide is also great for anti-aging. Can you share how the OS-01 peptide & GHK-Cu peptides compare? Thanks!     Angie: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you for all the work you do, I’m forever grateful. My sex hormone binding globulin has been high for years. No doctor can tell me what I can do to lower it. Because of this, my free testosterone has been super low. I’ve had no sex drive for years and overall feel no zest for life. For the last few years- My testosterone has been around 20-25 My SHBG has been around 185-215 My free testosterone has consistently been .1 A functional medicine doc had me take stinging nettle twice a day for 3 months and it didn’t help. My primary doc told me to use zinc and strength train more and the number came down a little bit, but not much. Maybe I just have to continue with the zinc longer? I do quarterly detox’s, did a limited yeast protocol, am active and eat healthy.     Anonymous: I want to start by saying thank you so much for all you do, you really are a blessing to us for all the help you provide! The other day, I heard on your weekend podcast you answer the question of if herpes can be cured, and you said yes. Hearing your response made me very worried and upset that some listeners may not understand the nuance and may misinterpret your answer. While you may get to a point of remission (no symptomatic outbreaks, it is very important to be aware that you still have the herpes virus and are still capable of passing it to others (it is a latent virus so it lives in your body forever). You can still asymptomatically shed viral load, and you are legally (and ethically) required to still disclose this to future intimate partners prior to physical contact.  This is very important to note because there is no reliable way of testing to see if you are shedding viral load asymptomatically or not, and people are entitled to know the risk they are facing, especially since this can be a life changing diagnosis. For example, I caught this from someone who was shedding asymptomatically and didn't know they had it (using a condom), and it really almost ruined my life and severely impacted my mental health. So, in conclusion, whether or not you stop having outbreaks, you still MUST disclose this to any intimate partners     Rana: Hi doctor Cabral, What factors commonly trigger awakenings during the latter half of your sleep cycle. I typically go to bed around 9:30 pm and experience good sleep until 3 or 4 am. However, after that time, I seem to wake up every half hour for the rest of the night. This disrupts my sleep quality, as reflected by the consistently red "restfulness" reading on my Oura ring. It's important to note that I maintain a regular sleep schedule even on weekends, avoid eating close to bedtime (4-5 hours before sleep), and ensure my sleeping environment is dark and cool. I would appreciate any insights you might have on potential causes. Thanks so much, Rana     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3109 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3103: Reverse ED, Chelated Metals, Overdoing Supplements, Behçet's & Root Cause, Preventing Bowel Obstruction (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! me in over the past few weeks…   Michael: Are there ways to reverse ED? I’m 51, very active, weight training, jiu jitsu. Thanks     Lara: Hi! I’ve heard of colloidal silver and it’s benefits but recently I’ve read that chelated silver is more bioavailable than colloidal silver. Is that true and could you elaborate on that please? I’m also always confused about supplements and their forms, what does liposomal mean and why is it better? Also, I’ve heard it’s better to open capsules instead of drinking them down because they’re harder to digest so sometimes you don’t even get the full amount of supplement - it doesn’t get absorbed.. is that true? Should we open them and drink them or eat in applesauce or something? Thank you for your work, I listen to you daily, our favourite source of information..     Stephanie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I had a question about supplements - taking Fatlossity or now metavolve. I currently take multi activated, vitamin or DNS powder, Omega 3s, vitamin D, cal-mag, alkalizing vitamin C powder, probiotic and balanced zinc all equi.life brand. I noticed on the ingredient list for the fatlossity supplements It has about the same amount of magnesium and zinc that I take with the balanced zinc and cal-mag. Am I overdoing it by continuing my regular supplementation protocol and adding the fatlossity supplements? Should I hold off on taking the balanced zinc and cal-mag while on fatlossity? Also, how long do you recommend being on the fatlossity system? I love the way it makes me feel and makes me sleep great. thank you so much for sharing all your wisdom.     Tyler: Hello Dr.Cabral I am trying to convince my partner that it is possible to eliminate auto immune diseases. She has a disease calledbeschits (inflammation of the blood vessels), and I am trying to get her to believe that by addressing the root causes she can rid herself of disease. Wondering if you have any more information for on beschits and ways to treat it. Thanks!     Vanessa: Hi, love your show. Thank you for all your advice. Recently I was in the hospital for bowel obstruction. I eat healthy, workout and drink my water. What can I do for prevention and what workouts would you recommend I do. As I love the gym.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3103 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3102: Recurring Yeast Infection, Contact Lenses & Blue Light, Depression, Supplements & Brain Fog, Cortisol & VO2 Max, Sauna & Breastfeeding (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:      Sarah: I'm dealing with reoccurring yeast infections, despite already completing the CBO protocol. Ive been prescribed by my doctor to take a fluconazole pessary every week for 6 months. I'm unsure where to go from here. Is there any downsides to taking an antifungal for this long? Would it be better to do the CBO protocol again? I feel like nothing is working     Jenna: What are your thoughts on the new technology of contact lenses with built-in blue light blockers in the lens?     Amber: Hey, whenever I take a supplement for anxiety/depression I have always gotten a significant headache and head fog. I would always try and look this up, but I would never find people who struggle with the same symptoms. An example is St. John's wort, ashwagandha, bach remedies, etc. I have also had the same experience with mushroom supplements and horse chestnut. Not sure if these all have the same reason on why I experience these symptoms, but I was wondering if you had an answer. A naturopath suggested to me that it may be because my parasympathetic nervous system has been shut down for so long and it's just waking up with these supplements. I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you!     Melinda: Hi doctor Cabral I've been hearing a lot about the significance of optimal VO2 max, particularly for cardiovascular health, managing insuline, and enhancing mood and sleep. HIIT is often recommended as an effective way to improve VO2 max, but it's also known to increase cortisol levels. I'm in peri-menopause, so I really need to be careful about high cortisol. What do you think about this? Should I still do HIIT regardless, or are there some other ways to improve VO2 max and still keep my cortisol low. Thanks so much for your answer. Kind regards, Melinda     Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - is doing the sauna safe when you’re a breastfeeding mom? I read about toxins entering the breast milk but wasn’t sure if that’s true. Also I was wondering if you should do the “natural Gatorade” with the lime and sea salt before or after coffee in the morning? I was told to do this after taking your heavy metals test but wasn’t sure on timing. Thank you!

3096: Morning Detox Routine, CBO Foods, Chronic Vaginitis, Ashwagandha Warning, Pressure During Period (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Tonja: You mentioned a detox to lose maybe 7 lbs on the what to do first thing in the morning What was that?   Jolie: Hello! I am planning to start the CBO protocol soon- is there a list of foods to avoid, I can only find lists of “allowed” foods. Specifically would like to know which fruit and vegetables to avoid. Also, is coconut yogurt, kimchi, kraut, and other fermented foods allowed? Thank you!   Millie: Hi Dr. Cabral I have a chronic case of what might be vaginitis. Constant itching and irritation. Not sure what is causing it. I’m not sexually active at the present time so I haven’t been infected. This has been going on for about a year and hasn’t gotten any better. My doctor gave me a prescription for the herpes virus. It didn’t work. So do you have any idea with this may be caused from? Thank you for all you do.   Charlotte: Hi Doctor Cabral, The Dutch National Institute for Public Health has cautioned against the use of Ashwagandha. Their research has revealed potential harmful effects on liver function, as well as impacts on thyroid hormone and cortisol levels. This news has me feeling a bit concerned, especially since I've been taking 3-4 capsules daily. What are your thoughts about this? Thanks so much in advance! Charlotte   Erica: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have a question. When I am on my period, I notice I have more pressure / congestion / blockages in my upper right abdomen. It almost feels like it is more blocked up and i feel the “pressure” release as my stomach moves. Why do you think that is and is there anything I can do to assist my body? Thank you.

3095: Fermented Fruits, Reishi Mushrooms, Heavy Metal Detox Concerns, Lowering Testosterone, Phosphatidylserine Use (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Lara: Hi, dr. C, I’m wondering if you’ve heard of fermented fruits that are used in TCM? It’s done by an ancient recipe by the Tang family, they ferment prunes and some other fruits for 30 months and then they contain prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, flavonoids & different essential & nonessential amino acids.. supposedly it’s amazing for our digestive health and subsequently the immune system.. Other than that, I’ve been hearing a lot how we should eat fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi and others daily but I remember hearing from you once that they’re not so good on a daily basis for everyone, can you please explain? Thank you   Scott: Reishi mushrooms! I purchased a supplement from a company i love and it was just reishi mushrooms. I took one around 7pm and by bedtime felt nice and sleepy. However at 11:45 pm i woke up suddenly and felt Like i had slept all night and it had only been 2 hours! Plus my heart felt as if it was pounding. I had a handful of almonds to calm it down, fell back asleep until 4:30. This time i woke up and felt like i was almost in a haze. It was strange but i did notice i felt less sore and stiff waking which was great. So I am a little scared of taking this again but i am also curious as to why this happened. Would you stick with it? Just wanting a little feedback…i appreciate your time and as always, your excellent content.   Lauren: Hello, I’m reaching out because I’m interested in a heavy metal detox, but I have seen Dr. Pompa say detoxing with Chlorella and cilantro can be dangerous and ineffective because the binders are too weak to move the metals out of the body, and they are actually redistributed/reabsorbed throughout the body. He recommends something called DMSA which requires a prescription I think, and I’m not sure what the risks might be with that. Have you seen these claims? Can you respond? I believe your heavy metal detox has helped many people, but I don’t know what to make of these conflicting opinions, and I’m afraid to do the wrong thing and end up worse off than I am now. Thank you!   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! how can i lower testosterone/ reduce androgen production naturally? if you had to suggest 3 to 4 things to incorporate, what would they be? i’m already taking berberine, saw palmetto & myo-inositol drinking spearmint tea and eliminated gluten/dairy/sugar. PCOS is stubborn and my main symptom is cystic acne.   Elizabeth: Hi, Dr. Cabral, Started day 1 of my heavy metal detox. Hoping for great results! I've heard that a person cannot take phosphophatydlserine for extended periods of time. I used to get a brand that was made from bovine, but I notice that there is now a product made with sunflower. What is the difference and can I take it for an extended period of time? I definitely notice a difference in recall when I take this supplement. Also, I'm considering an hBot chamber. Does a less expensive chamber give the same amount of oxygen and benefits as a more expensive chamber? I liken it to cars. All of them have four wheels and can get you from one point to another, whether a Kia or a BMS, but one is better quality/more luxury. Is a chamber the same?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3095 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3089: Water Ionization, Micro Needling for Hair Loss, Listening to Podcasts at 2X, High Hematocrit & Hemoglobin, Supplement Timing (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral! It’s Kelly, an IHP L2 & lover of ALL things health, wealth & wellness. I would love to hear your POV, evidence based of course, on ( maybe don’t say the product name - totally up to your digression) Enagic K8 water ionization system. Which creates more hydrogen rich water & to my understanding is more bioavailable to the body, acting almost like an adaptogenic, being a small enough molecule to penetrate the cell walls & even pass the blood brain barrier. I am always curious & have been incorporating with my clients wellness plans. As water, like food, movement and all the layers in the ‘DESTRESS’ protocol are important. I do however want to practice with integrity & I am chasing your wisdom . Would you consider it for a product review in the future? If so reach out   Holly: Hi Dr. C! I have Alopecia Areata (40yr old women) and have tried all your hair loss protocols (including massively reducing stressors) alas nothing is working! I’ve resisted the steroid creams the doctor prescribed so far but running out of options. My question is about your thoughts on micro needling? And also thoughts on hyaluronic acid serum? (Or other recommendations). Thanks Holly   Oliver: Hi Stephen, Are there any benefits or negatives to listening to podcasts/audiobooks at a fast speed? I listen to most podcasts at 2x speed which is great to consume lots of info quickly but my mum thinks its bad for you so wondered if there is any effect on the brain?   Tessi: Hi Dr! I have addisons disease and noticed my blood work shows really high levels of hemocrit and hemoglobin on my blood work. Is this normally associated with having an adrenal issue or could it be something more? Any ways to lower it naturally?   Josh: Hi Dr. Cabral - thank you for all you do to educate us. I take a number of vitamins & minerals daily, many of which are taken at the same time. I'm curious if there are any vitamins/minerals that should not be taken together and if there are any that are best taken on an empty stomach. I understand fat soluble should be taken with healthy fats, but aside from that, I'm unaware of any considerations. Thank you!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3089 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3088: Celery Juice Detox, Histamine Intolerance, Sleep Quality & Menstrual Cycle, Joint Swelling, Winter Tea (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Amber: Hey, I am about to begin the 21 day detox and i was wondering your thoughts on celery juice during the detox. I drink celery juice daily, because has been thee only thing to help me have a bowel movement. I am working myself up to the CBO protocol, believing that will help my issue, but until then I drink celery juice.   Kristen: Hey Dr. Cabral! Thanks for your work! I’m suspicious about histamine intolerance but am not interested in following a low histamine diet unless I know for sure. The symptoms of histamine intolerance overlap with symptoms of other concerns. It’s hard to figure out where to start but adding unnecessary food restrictions is not my cup of tea. DAO deficiency- is that tested via blood? What do you recommend for testing types and protocols? Are there at home tests? Thanks so much!   Marina: Hi Dr Cabral I’ve noticed that my sleep quality differs throughout the cycle. Day 1 - my sleep is incredible! And stays that way till about half way point. Second half is pretty bad insomnia and even if I sleep, the quality isn’t great. My lifestyle does not change. There is nothing that I do differently. I assume it is affected by hormones? Extra magnesium, red glasses etc does not help. What can I do to support sleep in the second half of the cycle? Thank you   Suzi: I'm a 60 y old woman(120 lb) who had swelling knees,wrists and thumbs for the last 28 years.It started after pregnancy. Dx RA Seronegative. Took Humera shots twice a month for a few years and it worked great. I've been on my health journey for the last 4 years. Jan 2023 found out I'm sensitive to gluten.I've been on gluten free diet since then. No longer taking humera shots since last Oct. Even though my symptoms improved, still get swelling on knees weekly to a lesser degree. Per xray joints are normal. I'm on last month of CBO protocol. Leaky gut issues have improved. I track my sleep on Oura, no issues there; yearly blood test is perfect, including tyroid. Inflammation marker 4.5, minerals are good. Metals: Mercury at 0.077, Alumium 0.4. Just did regular detox. What am I missing?   Patrick: Hey doc huge fan. i wanted to know if you ever heard of Jason’s winter tea for cancer.

3085: Best Fix for Leaky Gut & LPS (Step-by-Step Proven Protocol) (WW)

It’s important to heal and seal the gut wall to prevent bacteria and toxins from entering the bloodstream, which can trigger an immune system reaction and inflammation.   One concerning issue when your gut becomes more permeable is the presence of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). These bacterial toxins can cause serious health problems (and are the underlying root cause of many diseases) as they enter the bloodstream.   To combat this, I want to walk you through the step-by-step protocol we’ve used successfully for years with tens of thousands of clients to ensure proper balanced gut health.   Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3085, where I share the step-by-step proven protocol to fix leaky gut and reduce LPS.

3082: Healthy Pillow Options, Testing Schedule, Oura Ring Tracking, Probiotics & Antibiotics, Sunflower Seeds & Sunflower Butter (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Lara: Hi, dr. C! I’m wondering about the right pillows for optimal health, good sleep & no pain. Currently I’ve had neck, shoulder and back pain for more than half a year.. there must be multiple reasons (can you tell me more about what you think they are?) but I’m guessing my pillow isn’t helping.. it’s old & made out of memory foam which I remember you once said is a toxic material.. I’m from Europe so probably your brand suggestions wouldn’t help but maybe you could talk about which pillow materials are healthy options and does the shape of the pillow matter? Anything & everything about pillows, please! Thank you for all you do! You’re my favourite source of information!   Annie: Hi Dr Cabral I did the Big 5 tests several years ago now (3 years) but I am having trouble losing weight and am seeing some hormone shifts. Would you recommend retesting all big 5 tests every so often or are there certain ones that you suggest more regularly?/What type schedule to you recommend for testing?For reference: 41 year old female Acne on my chin, Brain fog, trouble losing the last 5-10 lbs I am thinking I have larger estrogen dominance, slightly Hypothyroid, confirmed MTHFR Thank you! Annie    Anonymous: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I’ve just listened to the episode where you were talking about how you use your Apple watch and you said Oura is not good for tracking activity AT ALL.. can you please explain what you mean by that? I only have an Oura ring and don’t want to wear a watch so obviously I use my Oura for also tracking my activity like steps and heart rate when I go on walks, it detects when I do housework or dance for example and asks me if that was what I was doing so it tracks it as an activity.. I don’t mind if it’s not AS accurate as some other devices but would like to understand why you said it’s not good AT ALL.. thanks   Kristen: What are the best (research backed) probiotics for women after a short bout of antibiotics? Also, what about the women working through gut issues in the absence of antibiotics (assuming they are doing many other of the ‘things’ to help heal their gut)- which probiotics are best? This is if they do not have the funds to get a GI map test or functional tests. Do you recommend brands and strains? I would love to have a resource to refer to on this topic. Feels like the Wild West! Thank you!   Sharon: You mentioned that sunflower oil had a high omega 6-3 ratio. Do you recommend avoiding sunflower seeds and sunflower seed butter too? Thanks.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3082 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3081: Protocol After Detox, Menstrual Cycle & Energy, Food Sensitivity Tests, Detoxing Mycophenolic Acid, Thoracic Pain & Tightness (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Maggie: I’m on the last week of the 21 Day Detox and feel amazing. Do you recommend I do another protocol of yours?   Maya: Hello doctor Cabral, I'm a 45-year-old woman with a lot of goals I want to achieve. However, my monthly cycle appears to hinder my progress. During the initial two weeks post period, I feel enthusiastic, energetic, clear-minded, and ready to conquer the world. But, a few days after ovulation, I experience a decline in energy. My workouts become more draining, my thoughts turn negative, and I struggle to stay on track with my goals. I know that this is likely due to hormonal fluctuations, but I would love to maintain consistent energy levels throughout my cycle. Are there any supplements or strategies I could implement to sustain this energy? It's worth noting that I lead a healthy, active lifestyle and am very mindful of my cycle. Thanks so much for your answer, you're the best! Maya   Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for your podcast, I’ve been learning a lot from it. I’m a dietitian and I’m having a really hard time understanding the food sensitivity tests that functional medicine practitioners use (listened to recent episode on that). This is a test that dietitians generally do not use. From my understanding, these tests reflect a normal ‘reaction’ to the foods that we have recently and regularly eat. When they remove these foods during the elimination phase and retest, it only makes sense that the IgG response to these foods is lower, since it hasn’t recently been eaten. When these clients come to me with these results, I rarely pay attention to the results, but rather focus on ‘cleaning up’ their diets, lifestyle, etc. Would love to hear your thoughts on my view!   Jack: I completeled a mycotoxin test I have high mycophenolic acid how can I detox it out of system where did it come from please help   Erin: Thoracic pain/tightness…I grew up playing sports and then played competitive golf through college. I remember at the beginning of every round my upper back was always sooo tight and it felt like a really deep tightness. So much so it interfered with my swing but after 3-4 holes it started to loosen. Fast forward to now and it seems my thoracic area is constantly tight and if I do weights or like yesterday, a lot of raking, that area is so sore and tight today. What is causing this and what can i do? Sometimes i feel it constricts my breathing when it gets so tight after heavy weights or physical activity involving my upper body.     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3081 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3075: Coffee & PCOS, Food Combining & Sensitivities, Eating Charred Foods, Low AMH & Virus, Deep Sleep & Bedtime, Protein & Detox (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! there is SO much conflicting information regarding coffee and PCOS. as someone who struggles with high androgen/testosterone production, should i not be drinking any caffeine? does caffeine really increase androgen hormones? i drink 1 cup of organic, mold free coffee per day. ive justified not giving it up due to how much joy it brings me. thanks!   Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral, I get horrible gas when I eat energy balls that I make made of bobs red mill gluten free oats, nut butter, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds and honey. I recently did the big 5 and none of these came up as a sensitivity. Why am I having gas with this and should I cut these out of my diet? I eat all of these separate at times and don't have the gas, but for whatever reason have it with all of them combined. Thanks   Calista: Hi Doctor Cabral, Is it unhealthy to consume burnt pizza crust? Whenever I visit a great pizza place, the crust often has a lot o charred spots on the bottom and edges. I know that the dose makes the poisin, and it's not like I eat pizza every day, maybe once or twice a month, but still - I want to keep that rain barrel as empty as possible ;) Thanks so much for your answer! Much love, Calista   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! Long time listener. I’m 39 with AMH of .03. I’ve completed your functional medicine detox, eat all organic, avoid seed oils, exercise appropriately, ect. I’ve also done testing that revealed candida overgrowth and some chemicals that were overwhelming my immune system. I’ve since cleared the candida, stopped wearing nail polish and started sauna regularly. I also use all clean products and have never taken birth control nor did I participate in any experimental therapy during the pandemic. I had one natural c-vid infection in March of 2022 and after that went 90 days without a cycle! Is it possible that virus damaged my ovaries? What else specifically can I do to naturally increase my AMH/ward off early menopause? Have you heard of ovarian PRP injections being successful?   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I’ve been tracking my sleep with Oura and lately I’ve been trying to go to bed earlier than my whole life.. Since starting to learn from you I can no longer keep shutting my eyes that sleeping earlier is important for health.. but the thing is that I get 90+ minutes of deep sleep when I go to sleep at 2am or later on off days and whenever I manage to go earlier (around midnight is where I’m currently at), I don’t get enough deep sleep! Even less than an hour sometimes! Could it be that my body is used to my rhythm (hormones?) so it’s difficult for me to get into the deep sleep phase earlier than it’s used to? I’m really wondering what the cause could be.. please help me figure it out, thanks.. you’re the best!   Sam: Hi Doctor Cabral, I was just listening to a podcast with a registered dietitian who claimed that having a healthy liver and detoxifying it requires consuming animal protein.. That sounded false to me, but I wanted to check what you think about it? Thanks in advance for your answer!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3075 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3074: Stopping SSRIs, Crossinology Brain Integration, European Shipping, Puberty-Related Gynecomastia, Natural Skin Care Products, Thick Phlegm (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Susanne: Hi, I have been taking SSRIs for several years now and want to stop taking them. Since I started with them, I have taken better choices for my health, and now only eat raw home-made food, exercise regularly, prioritize sleep and take nutritional supplements. I want to try to have a child in a few years, and have read that SSRIs can affect the fetus negatively and that there is a risk of developing heart defects in the fetus. My GP thinks it's ok to take the medications, but I have my doubts when I read the research myself. Is it possible to stop using SSRIs without impairing the quality of life? If so, how can I do it? I will do it in collaboration with my doctor. Thank you! Best regards, Susanne   Tiana: Hi, always appreciate the insightful discussions you bring to light. Lately, I've been delving into the fascinating topic of Crossinology brain integration. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this approach. Thank you for sharing your valuable insights on the podcast!   Lara: Hi, dr. C. As I’m slowly moving through the IHP course, I’m wondering how I will be able to to this as my job if I’m based in Europe. EquiLife doesn’t ship to my country and even if I ship it to UK or Italy and try to get it from there (additional cost), the shipping from the US is so expensive. Now, I know you don’t charge more for shipping & try to reduce the cost as much as possible, but still, are there any plans for the future to help your IHPs in Europe implement your protocols into their practices? Maybe a European based EquiLife company manufacturing products here? Or a distributor here in Europe? Otherwise they are twice the price for us & I cannot afford them even to help myself with my health problems but so far I haven’t found equivalent products here. Thank you   Chamel: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to start by thanking you for all the work you do in changing lives and truly helping people get to the root causes of their health problems. My question is about puberty-related gynecomastia. I understand the aromatase effect, elevated estrogen, estradiol, elevated testosterone, and elevated prolactin, as well as the underlying health issues and medications like steroids that can cause this issue. However, I am focused on gynecomastia caused by puberty. My question to you is, have you seen breast tissue in men shrink without taking raloxifene or tamoxifen? If so, how was this achieved with hormone balancing? Additionally, what are your thoughts about cryotherapy and cold exposure for potential treatment, as well as fasting and autophagy to shrink glandular tissue?   Jessica: I was wondering if L’Bri natural skin care products are a good brand to use?   Ellie: Hi Doctor Cabral, I frequently experience a sensation of thick phlegm in the back of my throat and upper chest. Occasionally, when I bend over or lie down, I feel pressure in my upper chest. Sometimes, this pressure coincides with a perceived increase in heart rate. I'm a 46-year- old female with a history of childhood bronchitis. However, I don't suspect this is the current issue because I have no breathing difficulties. Do you have any idea what it could be? Thanks so much for all your help!

3068: PEA & Histamine Intolerance, Recurring UTIs & Yeast Infections, Staph Infection & Antibiotics, Post Exertional Malaise, Toddler Bowel Movements (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Ales: Dr. Cabral, what do you think of Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) as a natural help with severe histamine intolerance? If everything else fails, would you recommend this compound to help with mast cells a and supress their excessive production of histamine? Is it even natural suplement like compound or a drug? Please help me understand. Thank you   Sarah: I've had reoccurring UTIs and always have to take antibiotics to clear it despite knowing how destructive they can be. This has led to reoccurring yeast infections. I'm about to start the CBO protocol for the yeast, how do I tackle the UTIs? I've tried ALL the natural remedies (dmannose, uva ursi, oregano, probiotics etc) and still suffering and feel my only resort is antibiotics which I want to avoid, as I'm now dealing with yeast overgrowth too. Thank you!!   Sarah: My boyfriend has a staph infection that is showing up as rash/pimples all over his body. Dermatologists are telling him the only option is antibiotics. He also has done lab testing and is showing an overgrowth of candida krusei. Trying to avoid antibiotic use as much as possible especially when he has an overgrowth of candida. He is about to start the CBO protocol. Is there anything that can be done for staph naturally/preventing it, other than washing with ACV, tea trea, coconut oil as we've tried that.   Jim: Hello Dr. C! I can't thank you enough for all of the hard work you put into these podcasts. I binge listen to them when I travel. I've searched but can't find anything on Post Exertional Malaise. I've been dealing with a variety of health issues from Hashimoto's to, most recently, toxic mold poisoning. I'm currently doing your mold protocol and am having some really bad flare-ups that are very similar to ones I've been experiencing for a few years. To describe what happens, it's as if I am a battery powered robot and my battery go dead. I can literally feel my body shut off, like my battery has been drained. I've had "the virus" twice so I looked into Long Covid and ran across PEM. I checked all the boxes for the symptoms but how can I verify it is this and not the mold?   Amanda: Hello! Just wondering what to do for a 3 year old with very inconsistent bowel movements/pellets. Tried high dose vitamin C/magnesium citrate, oxypowder, higher fiber diet, castor oil packs at night, energy work, osteopath, Epsom salt baths, prunes, pears etc. Diet is on point, only choline and ghee butter trigger bowel movements, but if I stop these then it gets irregular. Any advice on supplements/tinctures or foods that can support bile flow? Any advice on how to correct these bowel issues for a toddler, or where to start?

3067: Organic Corn, Vitamin D & B Injections, Topical Thyroid Hormone Cream, Alopecia Areata & Mold, Detox Reactions (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Lara: Hi, dr C. :) If something contains either ORGANIC corn starch, ORGANIC corn flour or ORGANIC corn meal (“polenta”), or just ORGANIC corn in general, would you eat it and if so how regularly? Are there benefits to eating corn (if it’s organic)? And secondly, why do some people experience menstrual cramps and some don’t? And also why do some people have cramps/pain even when ovulation occurs? Thank you for all your help and support you provide us daily, you’re amazing..   Tiana: Hello! I've been thoroughly enjoying your podcast—it's been incredibly insightful and uplifting. I'm thrilled to share that after completing a 21-day detox, I'm amazed by the results and the comprehensive explanations of my lab results during my recent appointment. I’ve become curious about some health-related topics, namely vitamin D and B injections, peptide injection therapy, and chelation therapy. While I understand these might not be services you offer and I don’t necessarily need, I would love to hear your insights on these subjects purely out of personal interest. Your perspective always brings such clarity and depth to discussions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!   Sheila: Dear Dr Cabral What is your opinion of topical thyroid hormone cream designed to provide superior flexibility, absorption, and utilization of T2 for thyroid patients. Is this cream better than taking the pills or supplements? Thanks very much   Kortney: Hi! First of all, I am so thankful for all of the information you give to the community! I have spent hundreds of dollars on labs and supplements to get healthy. I had mold exposure in an apartment I was living in 2 years ago. I lived there for 2 years and was also pregnant and breastfeeding in the mold. My baby and I both had identical symptoms(rashes, congestion, etc). We finally got it tested and it came back positive for black mold. We moved out immediately. I was never told I needed to detox so I just moved out and went on with my life. Well, now I have been having unexplained Alopecia areata, I get sick all the time, anxiety, etc. I had RA markers on my labs as well as high cortisol and TGF Beta 1. Where should I start with getting well again?   Kortney:  Hi! I am currently doing the Dr. Cabral detox. After day 1 I woke up the next morning nauseous and had a migraine. I ate some canned beans after a couple hours and felt better so I continued the detox following the days 3-7. Should I have stopped the detox? Or was that a sign everything was moving through my body? I was unsure of what to do. I am trying to detox from mold exposure and had RA markers and high TGF Beta 1 on my last labs.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3067 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3061: Semaglutide & MCAS, Stellate Ganglion Block, PEMF & Increased Stress, CREST & EMFs, Reoccurring Stye (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jack: Dr Cabral you are the man! Extremely intelligent and respected. It’s an honor to ask I have MCAS and high blood sugar eating very healthy and working out plant based no fats. Pancreas is not producing insulin. Can you speak more about semaglutide on how it could help MCAS. Also French lilacs main ingredient in metformin. I’ve tried Berberine 500mg ten capsules a day and it just doesn’t work. Any suggestions for any herbs? Semaglutide or metformin. Thank you I feel stuck I know the blood sugar is directly connect to MCAS.   Justin: What are your thoughts on using the stellate ganglion block as an alternative for prescription medication?   Jim: Hi Dr. Cabral. I hope you and your family are doing well. I'd love your thoughts on a weird thing I've observed when using a PEMF mat and my Oura ring. I've used two different PEMF mats (Higher Dose and Therasage) at night and have noticed that my Stress level on my Oura ring goes up while sitting on it. I'm only using the heat function without PEMF. Why is this happening and would it negatively affect my sleep? Thanks so much!   Mike: Hi Dr Cabral, I've worked with you and your team members over the past two yrs on my journey to heal CREST, I'm grateful for everything you do. I am doing a protocol you built for me at the end of last yr, I'm actually almost done the CBO protocol and looking forward to doing my retesting. Although I generally feel great, I am still suffering from CREST symptoms. Reason I'm writing in is because I'm curious if EMF exposure could be a primary cause of my symptoms. Ive read that EMF's can cause calcification (which I suffer from badly), and when I think back to when my CREST symptoms started, it was around the time I started using a cell phone in my teenage yrs. Also how can I limit EMF exposure while WFH without disrupting WIFI for work?   Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral , My husband gets reoccurring stye. He is then put on a combination of oral pills called cephalexin and an ointment called erythromycin. It gets better then randomly comes back several weeks later. Is there something else he can do to stop this cycle? Please advise. Your content and advice has been life changing for me, I am so grateful.

3060: Contact Lenses, Low Oxalate Diet, Too Much Vitamin K, Increase REM Sleep, CBO & Hives (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hi, I’m wondering about what to be careful with when purchasing contact lenses. I read in The Rain Barrel Effect that the solution for contacts contains some heavy metals, is that already the solution they come in? I buy the daily ones because they’re the softest & my eyes are already so damaged from them, that I can hardly stand them (so I only wear them on very special occasions, maybe once a month). Could you also explain why that happens? Do you have any brand recommendations for daily contacts? What about eye sight surgery? Is that something you would recommend? I know quite a few people who had it done and are very happy with the results, but it still seems quite scary to me, although I know this technology has evolved significantly in the past 20 years. Thank you for your advice   Jackie: Hi Dr Cabral thanks for everything you and your team do - it is life changing. I am doing Cbo protocol after heavy metals. I have high oxalate according to big 5 and reduced kidney function according to gp, how long does it take for a low oxalate diet to clinically lower oxalic acid in your experience? Working on the root cause but trying to reduce symptoms along the way.   Anonymous: What are the dangers and/or side effects of taking too much Vitamin K? And what's the upper limit with dosing?   Jamie (male): Thank you for all you and your team do. An amazing example of the power of why, entrepreneurship and the health industry! Is there anyway to bring forward REM sleep? Seems it doesn’t really matter what time I get to sleep (easier said than done with young kids) REM seems at its best 5:30-7:30am. Issue is I get up at 5:15am. Any suggestions as I couldn’t specifically find bringing forward REM sleep in the back catalogue… thank you   Sheila: Hello, I’m on week 3 of CBO protocol. I just started week 3 and I started getting hives on my legs. One ingredient is bromelain in the Candida supplement. Bromelain is a “red” on my IGg food sensitivity test. Is there another product I could use instead of this one? Please advise. Thank you for your time.

3054: Semen & Prostate Health, CBO Protocol & Seasonal Allergies, Hair Serum, Superpatch Research, Drinking Colloidal Silver (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, Not sure if you want to air this type of question. I practice semen retention due to personal convictions and beliefs. I intend to keep practicing this perhaps for the rest of my life, but I am concerned about my prostate health. I've read that such practices are not good for the prostate long term. What are your thoughts on this and how do you recommend I protect my prostate? I see you offer an Prostate Support supplement. Do you think it would be beneficial for my specific concern? I definitely more of an ectomorph type (5'8" and I hover around 130lbs to 125lbs) if that matters. Thanks!   Erin: Hello! I have completed the CBO protocol and am about to start the gut sealer. It is high allergy season and I am still having so much sneezing, itchy eyes and allergy symptoms. I am bummed because I had hoped this would be a lot better since doing the protocol. What would you suggest next? Thank you so much!   Anonymous: Hi, dr. Cabral, hope all is well with you and your family. I’m wondering about this hair serum, it’s supposed to combat breakage, thinning, bald spots, flakiness & shedding. it contains Parsley Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Linseed Oil, Coffee Seed Oil, Argan Kernel Oil, Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Sweet Almond Oil, Lavender Oil, Ginger Root Extract, Olive Fruit Oil, Panax Ginseng Extract, Polygonum Multiflorum Extract, Cocoa Seed Extract, Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, Rosemary Leaf Oil… and you are supposed to massage it into the scalp 3x a week, leave overnight and rinse after shampooing… Do you think it works? Thank you for your help     Anonymous:  Hi,listened to your answer on The Superpatch&went on their website for research studies on VTT - haptic vibrotactile trigger technology.Apparently most of the patches are registered as wellness products,but the REM patch (for better sleep) & the Freedom patch (for less pain), which have the most research done on, are now supposedly medical products.I don’t know if the research was funded by the company itself to obtain desired results but I listen to you daily&you always say how much you love research, so maybe you could read the ones linked on their page&let us know on a Friday Review?The patches are talked about on every corner now so I would love to hear your opinion on the research behind them. Even if it is a bandage approach, better than pharmaceuticals,no? Also, they claim long time wear of the patches (the Liberty patch) improves homeostasis (equilibrium) in the body. Wearing them daily may improve the body’s response to stressors, mitigate pain, improve sleep overall, etc. because it supposedly “rewires or reprograms your brain”. I’m really eager to hear your take on the research they have on their website and what you think about the technology behind them. Thank you for your time and work you put into these podcasts, they are amazing and so are you!   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral, hope you & your family are well.. My friend recently told me she makes her own colloidal silver & uses it for all sorts of things like cleaning, cooking with it & the whole family even drinks it-instead of water! It’s helped her tremendously when she had the pneumonia so since then the whole family is on it.. the naturopath she bought the device from has been drinking it for 12 years and hasn’t been sick during.. it’s approximately 10ppm like the Sovereign Silver brand.This is very interesting to me & I know you like colloidal silver for certain protocols, but would you recommend using it instead of drinking water & such? I’m really interested in your opinion on colloidal silver & all the benefits & any potential dangers.. thanks so much, your voice is in our house daily    Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3054 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3053: Chronic Cold & Congestion, Fever Blisters & Virus, Lipedema, Hormones & Gut Health, Meridian Testing (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Lauren: Hi there! I have had a cold for almost 2 months now. I’m a breastfeeding mom 4 months postpartum. So I know I can’t take a lot of things and my sleep recovery isn’t the best. I thought I was over it but still had mucus congestion. Constantly blowing my nose & the mucus would be bright yellow. I’ve been taking a lot of immunity supplements, teas, and doing sauna every so often. Just yesterday I randomly started loosing my voice and now have a very sore throat. Any advice? Thanks!   Kristen: Dr. Cabral, A few months ago I had a fever blister break out on the left side of my face. Even now after the blister has fully healed, I can still feel tingling on the left side of my face, near my left ear, similar to when an outbreak is about to occur but no new blister has emerged. I also currently have a cold and only the left side of my face feels “sick” - only my left ear hurts, only the left side of my throat hurts. I also have been dealing with double vision issues for years, and a recent CT scan showed inflammation of the muscles in my left eye. Could all of this be related to the virus that causes fever blisters since it’s all only on the one side of my face that I had the blister? If it is viral, how can I get rid of the virus for good? I am willing to try anything!   Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral- thank you so much for your open source naturopathy podcast! I have lipedema, and while research on the condition is slim, it is being suggested that women with lipedema can try taking 600-1200mg guaifenisin (more commonly known as Mucinex) two times per day because it apparaently helps to break down of the adipose tissue associated with lipedema, which is otherwise diet and exercise resistent. I take no other medications, but I started taking 600mg twice per day because the double dose made me dizzy. I am wary of taking a pharmaceutical drug that has side effects including kidney stones. Can you provide any information on the mechanism in which a mucus thinning medication would break down stubborn fat?   Shelly: Helllo. Wanted to ask about deficiencies in sex hormones and poor gut health. I lost my period when put on birth control (BC) at age 17 and it doesn’t come back unless on BC but I stopped BC over 6 years ago. My estrogen and progesterone has been super low and I have had lots of stomach issues like bloating and constipation along with weight gain. Every time I seem to resolve my gut it always comes back. No one has told me that I need to fix my hormones first. I’m now on BHRT and feel better with more energy and hoping with balanced hormones my gut will start to repair itself.   Emma: Hello Dr. Cabral, thank you for being my #1 reference with all things holistic & natural health. I listen every day & was able to uncover underlying health dis-eases stemming from your teachings on this podcast! :) What are your thoughts on meridian testing? What about German New Medicine? Do you believe either have validity ? I've been working with a consultant for 2 months but don't feel a difference yet.

3047: Rebalance Body & Prostate, EBV & Allergens, Cryotherapy vs Cold Plunge, Olives & Detox, Glucose Tolerance Test, Retinol Exposure (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Nishan: It is extremely rare to find a genuine healer in this day and age. I am still trying to filter through the massive amounts of lies and deception regarding the prostate. Our food and water supply is saturated with chemicals and hormone disruptors. What can I take that will neutralize and eliminate all the crap in my body and rebalance my hormones ? Is there something that will shrink the prostate and crush the multi million dollar industry that's making money off of this illness that is plaguing men ?   Anonymous: I have listened to all your podcasts on both allergies and EBV/viruses. I am in the recovery phase from getting EBV in Dec 2023 (27 yo F, had 104+°F fever for 14+ days). I follow all your protocols and have been trying best to support my recovery. However, the allergens here have been hitting me very severely since getting EBV and causing alot of inflammation. I want to try sublingual allergy drops but want to know your advice for when it would be best to start them in relation to my recovery? Could I start them now, or would it be too much for my immune system to handle? If not, what would be a good indication from my body for when I might be ready to start them? I deeply appreciate all you do for this community   Anonymous: Good morning! Could you please do a podcast going over the differences between cryotherapy vs cold plunges and the unique benefits of each (and who each method might benefit or contraindications)? For example, I notice that cryo makes me feel very relaxed during and afterwards and helps alot with my stress and inflammation - however, cold plunges are a huge stressor on my nervous system and make my stress hormones increase (which I don't feel from cryo). Even though they are both cold therapies, there appear to be differences in how they affect the body, since one provides me benefit whereas the other does not (for me personally). Could you please explain this?   Kimberly: Hello Dr. Cabral, Am I allowed to include black, green and greek olives in my first 21 days? (minus the first 2 liquid diet days of each week) of course. I look forward to beginning my 21 day detox this coming Monday. Thank you, Kimberly   Tin: I am 15 weeks pregnant and I am taking my time to learn more about prenatal and maternity health. I’m curious what are your thoughts about Oral Glucose Tolerance Test? It usually contains 75g of sugar in the solution and taken after fasting. I’m a bit concerned about this much sugar plus the colorings added to that. My OB said this is required to test for gestational diabetes but heard that test can come out false and inaccurate. My FBS and HbA1c are all good, I take supplements and workout, so I think I have low risk. What are other alternatives for this that has less risk to my body? Thank you again for all that you do.   Senna: Hi doctor Cabral, I live in Europe and the European Unition has new rules for retinol usage. They have set a maximum concentration of 0.3% for facial products and 0.05% for body products, in order to mitigate potential health risks associated with excessive retinol exposure. Do you know why they did this, and what these health risks are. I love using my 1% retinol serum and am pretty alarmed by this.

3046: Contraceptive Comparison, Strep Throat Help, Low Blood Cell Count, Chronic Digestive & Bladder Issues, Statins & Heart Health (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    May: Dr. Cabral, I highly trust and appreciate your opinion. Can you please share your opinion on contraceptives and explain the difference, drawbacks, short and long term side effects, risks and effectiveness. I am deciding between pills, copper IUD, hormonal IUD. What’s the best option? Thank you   Al: Hello Doctor Cabral, what do you suggest for strep throat? Almost every year I suffer from it and I’ve red about Biocidin throat spray, nastrium tincture, gargling colloidal silver. Are there any effective alternatives to antibiotics, which I don’t want to take? Can you share a specific strep throat protocol that you would use if you had such bacterial infection. Thank you very much for your expertise, it means a lot.   Jo: My recent blood work shows low red and white blood cell counts ( just below the green normal levels). Should I be concerned? All other blood markers were within the normal limits. Iron levels are normal. I am 60 years old. Also, I have had a fissured tongue for as long as I can remember, not painful, and no known allergies. Any idea what this could mean?   Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral! I recently started listening to your podcast because I have been dealing with digestive and bladder issues for over 5 years. I am a 37 year old female. I eat well and exercise regularly. My digestive symptoms recently worsened and I began having left abdominal pain on the inferior margin of my ribs. A CT scan was negative. H. Pylori breath, stool and culture with upper endoscopy were all negative. An upper endoscopy revealed gastric myoplasia on biopsy. I also have on and off bladder irritation. It feels like I have to urinate and I don’t. I feel like this is all related. I listened to your podcast on ulcers and began doing twice a day cabbage juice and doing an antihistamine diet. My symptoms stabilized a bit but have not resolved. Please advise on what to do. Thank you!   Greg: Dear Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your effort to promote a more holistic approach to living. I am a U.S. Foreign Service Officer in a U.S. Embassy overseas and find health management a bit more challenging, including taking advantage of the testing options, etc. available to those in the US. I recently started statins and a few days later listened to episode #2958 (Medications and Drugs that Drain Your Energy). I was particularly moved by your discussion on how statins can reduce mitochondrial health in the heart (just the heart?). For those that have hereditary reasons to stay on statins, what can we do, beyond lifestyle (food/exercise), to mitigate/promote/preserve mitochondrial health of the heart (and body generally) that may be affected by statins?

3040: DNS vs Daily Multi-Vitamin, UTIs & Hormones, Mandibular Tori, AM Fasting & Blood Sugar (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Dionna: Hi, Dr. Cabral. After completing the Big 5, my coach advised that I was absent of Vitamin B's, I needed Balanced Zinc, Magnesium, Omega 3's, 5,000 iu's of Vitamin D, and a Thyroid Support (for 3 months). I am currently using the DNS each morning & it was my understanding that would cover my B's and Zinc. I get the DNS and all the remaining necessary supplements on a monthly subscription with Equilife, plus Digestive Enzymes. Because I need two jars of the DNS to get through a month, I'm wondering what benefits I lose if I switch to the Daily Activated Multi-Vitamin. Do you recommend one over the other, or are they the same? Also, do I really need a Collagen supplement if I'm using either one of those products? As always, I appreciate you so much and all that you do! Dionna   Jennifer: Hi Dr Cabral! I’ve listened to all your podcasts on UTI and am wondering what your thoughts are on UTIs in relation to hormones? Could low estrogen be a cause of recurring UTI. I’m asking especially since d mannose, GSE and Vitamin C seem to not be working? I had 9 UTIs in 2022 and then zero for an entire 9 month stretch during pregnancy. Wondering what can be done if indeed it’s a hormone issue. I had my levels tested pre-pregnancy through equilife and my progesterone was low, but estrogen seemed fine. I’ve had UTI issues ever since I can remember. But only in recent years has it gotten this frequent! Any insight helps!!Thank you!!   Nathalie: I allowed for moderate v**c of my first three children. Other than your heavy metal detox protocol, what other protocols do you recommend for me to give them so I can offset any potential future effects they will have from having been v**c as toddlers? Thank you   Lynda: Hi Dr Cabral, As you are a fountain of knowledge on all subjects, I was wondering if you have any thoughts on the possibility of reversing mandibular tori. I was recently told I have them at a dentist appointment, and now I'm obsessed with getting rid of them as I suspect they have made my teeth progressively crooked. Do you think proteolytic enzymes could reduce them? Any other thoughts? You're the best. :)   Abby: Hi Dr. Cabral, I workout in the morning before my 12 hr fast is up. Since working out raises my blood sugar, am I technically breaking my fast? And If so, is holding off on eating until the 12 hr mark still benefiting me if my fast is broken with raised blood sugar? Also am I preserving muscle in a fasted state?

Check out today's questions:    Lindsey: hi dr. cabral - i have had what seems to be kidney pain for years. i only get relief when my spouse does really deep tissue massages on my lower back. after, my stomach makes gurgling noises and it ends up being gas. ive gone 1 time to a gastro for this and they said it’s not my kidneys but inflamed intestines appearing as kidney pain. can you please point me in the right way ?   Katherine: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all u do! You are my "benchmark" in the health world. Wondering what you would recommend a member of your family if this happened to them. Summer 2022 I had a really bad kidney stone that landed me in the hospital. I passed it. Since then I had about 4 more instances of kidney stones (but not as severe-was able to take some meds to ease the pain until it passed). Recently I went for a CT Scan and it showed my left Ureter dilated. The Urologist suggested another CT scan with dye or a to putna camera in and see if something is there causing a blockage or a tumor. Curious what I can do to be more proactive.   Tina: Love your show :) what is the best alternative to a mammogram? Thermal imaging anything you can recommend please I do not want to go for a mammogram. I’ve read other women with mast cell activation having breast cancer. Also, really trying hard to get rid of mast cell activation. Is cancer is a sign of mast cell activation ? Alma powder will it help mast cell activation? Alma powder better then berberine? Been researching alternatives to semaglutitde with myself having insulin resistance type 1 diabetes I am full plant based no fat no sugar no salt Please need help   Olivea: Dr. Cabral, The information you provide is wonderful. I just listened to your podcast 'why not fast until lunch' I have never been a huge proponent of fasting for myself simply because of my schedule. Curious what you would recommend for my schedule in regards to fasting and overall health - I try to eat dinner around 6:30/7pm each night. I wake up at 4:45 for the gym - I typically eat an apple on my way to the gym (I go to CrossFit) - my workout is an hour (starting at 5:15am) and then I have 1 egg + some egg whites around 7am, I then make myself a smoothie with water, fruit, and almond milk and take it to work with me and it usually takes me a few hours to drink it. I guess more of what I am asking is - someone who has morning workouts - what do you recommend for fasting?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3039 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3035: Should You Supplement with Vitamin D3 During the Summer? (Short Quiz) (TWT)

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that’s hard to obtain through food alone; the best source is sunlight.   Unfortunately, most people don’t live in a place where they can maintain a tan year-round to keep their vitamin D levels optimal.

3033: Restore Menstrual Cycle, Benefits of Chlorella, Glucose Spike with Activity, Beta-Ecdysterone, Reduce TSH Naturally (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you and your team for everything you do, it has made a big difference in my life/my clients. I recently completely 21 day detox and am currently doing heavy metals - Estrogen balance for 60 days (wrapping up in 2 weeks) --> moving into CBO. Following destress protocol daily sauna, restorative workouts, meditation, breath work etc. I have missed my menstrual cycle twice since starting the protocols. I did feel like I was pmsing (Cramps/emotions) but no cycle, I did lose weight with FM21, but have been lighter/leaner without amenorrhea), I have bumped up carbs/healthy fats and put on 3 lbs since missing the first cycle to guard against this. I am wondering what else I can do to restore my cycle.   Katie: Hello Dr. Cabral! Big fan here! So thankful to be able to learn something new from you on a daily basis. Just curious your thoughts on Chlorella and if you take them. Just started 2 weeks ago and looking forward to achieving all the benefits it has to offer. Also been taking creatine and have seen some fat weight gain but do the same things and weight train 3xweek/cardio 2-3xweek. I've heard different things like you may gain weight from it. Any help is appreciated! Thanks for your time!   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral. ive noticed i have a decent spike in glucose on my CGM with activity (weight lifting) and sauna. does the benefit of resistance training and detoxing from the sauna outweigh the cortisol spike? thank you.   Greg: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have heard you talk about Turkestrone on a previous podcast. Are you familiar with beta-ecdysterone? If so, what are your thoughts on it and would you recommend it over other natural forms of steroids. Thank you   Safeen: I've greatly benefited from your podcast. I'm 42-year-old male with no history of chronic illnesses. I discovered about a year ago that my TSH levels are significantly elevated, (above 20 or 30 !), though my T3 and T4 levels are nearly normal. one of my symptom is diffiuclty getting back to sleep at night, and feeling sleepy while reading otherwise, I don't experience severe hypothyroidism symptoms. Despite taking prescribed Levothyroxine, my TSH still remains above normal. My doctor suggested inconsistency in taking the medication or improper storage as possible reasons. I'm curious if there are natural methods to reduce TSH. Also, how does high TSH affect hair transplant outcomes? Unfortunately, I don't have access to integrative health practitioners in my area. Thanks for your guidance.    Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3033 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3032: Kawasaki & Tinnitus, EBV & Fatigue, Protocols & Retesting, Skin Cancer Surgery, FM Detox vs. Heavy Metal Detox (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Vikki: My son had kawasaki disease at 5yo. In hospital for week, got 2 IVIG treatments & high doses aspirin. Heart always looked good. Hes 16 & has been dealing w mild hearing loss& tinnitus, what can he do to lessen ringing or reverse? Assuming it was caused by the disease. Covid made it worse (no shot). Dizzy when it’s at its worst. Avoids loud places, like movie theatre/church. Tried hearing aids but says didn’t help. Healthy otherwise. Also what do you know about Kawasaki& future complications? TY   Fiona: I have used your products to correct my autoimmune issues, thank you so much for helping me. My daughter is fighting a EBV infection and is so exhausted every day. She has just had an IV vitamin C treatment. She also has Enterococus Avium detected in stool. Bifidobacterium bifidium and breve, Lactobacillus plantarum, casei and acidophlis have low readings. What is the best protocol for her to follow please   Jay: Hi Dr. Cabral I want to thank you and your team for all the work you do - it has been life changing for both me and my clients. I ran the big 5 did FM 21 detox, HMD, Ultimate sleep, Estrogen detox, and in the CBO protocol. I am wondering if you could tell me when I could retest to see improvement (looking to concieve - want to make sure everything is optimized). For reference I had low DHEA, high cortisol, estrogen dominance, + mercury, + aluminum candida, and oxalic acid.   Patricia: Dear Dr. Cabral, thank you for all the information and knowledge you share, it has really made a difference in my life. This question is related to my father, he is 84 years old and recently diagnosed with skin cancer on different areas on his face,we believe it was caused to sun exposure and or chemicals due to his job when younger as a Petroleum Engineer working in the field. He has molds in his face and his back, some of those cancerous. One was recently removed from his tear duct cancerous. He is scheduled to have surgery soon for all the others found. Is there any recommendation you can give me on things that he can do before and after the procedure related to diet and supplements that can help him heal faster and prevent recurrencies? I value so much your opinion. Thank you so much   Fernanda: I bought an EquiLife heavy metal detox kit for me and my husband and I just did your regular detox course online. Now I am wondering how these 2 compare. We don't want to lose weight as we are overall healthy already. We have completed three 5-day fasts using another product (Prolon) recently. How does a 5-day fast compare to EquiLife 7 day detox as far as removing toxins go? Will the removal of toxins in a 5-day water only or Prolon fast be compromised because there may not be enough amino acids to aid the phase 2 detox pathways? Should I do the regular detox before the heavy metal one? Please feel free to email me directly if that is not a question that you would like to answer on the podcast. FYI: I am also currently an IHP1 student and I bought 8 of the books you recommended so far.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3032 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3026: Consistent Mucus, Heavy Metals & Hormone Therapy, Perfect Aminos, Stinging in Mouth, Adrenal Fatigue & High Cortisol (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Annie: For the last 3 years, I have had consistent mucus in my throat. Sometimes it gets worse after eating fat like avocado and nut butter. The mucus is always clear if I spit it out. I thought it was acid reflux, but I am not sure why it would be affected by fats. Thank you for your help in advance!   Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am 33 & survived breast cancer last year, 6 months post partum. I had a lumpectomy, radiation and now hormonal therapy, which has been recommended for 10 years due to my age. Should I be concerned about heavy metals in this monthly injection? Doing the 21 day detox and curious of other pointers you may have that could be helpful while dealing with this long term. I’ve also struggled to lose weight in all this despite a very clean diet and exercising 5 days per week. My A1C is now 6.2 when it was normal prior to medication. Looking for guidance on how to further manage my blood sugar. I was interested in fatlossity but my Dr said “it has too many ingredients” and advised me against taking this. Can you speak a bit about fatlossity? Thank you! P.s. I’ve enrolled in IHP :)   Lynette: What do you know/think of the Perfect Amino products created by Dr. David Minkoff (bodyhealth.com)? I've heard him speak on several podcasts and am curious about his Perfect Amino products. Is there validity to them? Worth trying? Just curious about your thoughts and insights. Thanks so much for all the info and knowledge you share!   Lucy: Hi there, my niece (25yrs, very healthy and body aware) has had an on and off stinging and fuzzy feeling in her mouth since August. She has bloods done, mouth swabs, seen dentists, Dr's. They all say nothing is wrong it is her imagination. She says it is so unpleasant when it happens and needs to find a solution? Is there a podcast relating to this please? I can't find one in the search option. Which tests would you recommend? Thank you.   Robert: I did Big 5 and have adrenal fatigue/very high cortisol. I have been fasting recently (skipping breakfast daily or doing 24 hour with only DNS powder). i have lost weight doing this and had several other benefits. Though I noticed if i don't have breakfast, and I am doing a stressful activity at work (i.e. public speaking), i shake and feel faint. i don't get this if i have breakfast. Further, my white blood cells and neutrophils were low on a few recent blood tests. Despite getting benefits from fasting, should i not do it as often due to side effects like feeling faint/shaking & low WBC/neutrophils which i heard can be caused by stress or fasting? Would it be better if i start my fast after dinner rather than skip breakfast, or should i stop fasts until i reduce stress levels?

3025: Egg Sensitivity, Fruit & Bloating, Healthy Pregnancy Suggestions, Low White Blood Cells, Ox Bile & Stomach Acid, Calcifediol vs. Cholecalciferol (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Al: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have a question about food sensitivity. If my food intolerance test show high reactivity to chicken eggs (whites in red field), can I safely eat other eggs like quail eggs, duck eggs etc? I particularly like quail eggs and there are some good nutrition informations about them. What do you think? My second questuion is about fruits after meals. I am aware from your podcasts that fruit isnt good to combine with solid meals. In my case, it causes bloating if eaten after a meal as a desert, but only if its fresh fruit. If the fruit is eaten dried as a dessert, there is no issue whatsoever. Why is that, it doesnt make sense to me? I dont drink much fluids after meals and my OAT is clear of candida by the way. Thank you.   Jacqueline: Hi Dr Cabral Thank you for everything you and your team do. 2 questions regarding pregnancy. I am just finishing fmd 21, heavy metal and cbo protocols. My husband and I are going to start trying at what point should one stop use of sauna and flying on airplanes. Any other health habits or products other trn herbs that should be postponed to post breast feeding?   Rickardo: Hi Stephen Cabral. on my recent blood tests with my GP over the last few years, i have had low white blood cells neutrophils. My doctor has no idea why this is casued, but said it is best we just monitor it. Do you have any suggestions as to how i can raise my levels and become healthy again? thanks so much !   Karen: Hi there Dr. Cabral and team - so grateful for all you guys are doing!!! I recently listened to a podcast from someone who seems very knowledgeable about gut health say that ox bile shouldn't be taken with meals because it DECREASES stomach acid. Could you weight in on this   Karen: Just wanted to see if you had any thoughts on the pros and cons of CALCIFEDIOL vs. CHOLECALCIFEROL versions of vitamin D supplements?

3019: Perfect Amino, CBO Results, Sauna & Heat Sensitivity, Ginger & Bloating, Sriracha & Salt (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Alyssa: Hi Dr. Cabral, Have you hear of the supplement Perfect Amino by Body Health and if so what is your opinion? They claim it has all of the essential amino acids and is a 90% absorption rate within 30 mins of taking them, unlike other protein powders that are mostly converted to sugar. Also says it won't break a fast as it is only 2 calories. Thanks   Seth: Hey Doc, I was just listening to the podcast that you asked for help to make it easier for people to find the info they're looking for. Manychat and other chat bots might be a great start. Or create a section in your app that does this? Anyway my question for you is: I've done the cbo 2 times in a row because I tested high in yeast and bacteria. The peculiar thing is that both times I did the cbo, week 4 of the 2nd month was when i had the most relief. Then I gradually get worse and back to where I started. I'm 98% dairy and gluten free, I eat low inflammatory 90%. Don't drink alcohol, rarely do sweets. Lift heavy weights, sleep at leat 7.5 hrs. Maybe it's a parasite(s)? Either way I believe something in the supplements for month 2 helped more than others...thanks broski   Stacy: Hi Dr. Cabral. I really enjoy listening to your podcasts! My question is, can an infrared sauna blanket cause issues in people who are sensitive to heat? I don’t really know if I’m sensitive to heat, but I do have thyroid disease. I started using my infrared, sauna blanket, eight months ago and within a few weeks my left shoulder started hurting really bad and my left hand went numb, this happened until I stopped using my sauna. I gave it a couple month break and then I started it back up at lowest temp for only 15 min each time. Within 2 weeks it started happening again. Any ideas why?   Dionna: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I am about to go into month 3 of the CBO Protocol next week. I still have some bloating with my smoothie, lunch and dinner. I'm not eating anything that was on my food sensitivity list, but I have noticed that ginger is in some of the Equilife supplements I'm taking, and ginger was a food sensitivity. Is some amount of bloating after meals normal, or could the ginger be an issue? I'm so worried about going through all of this and my gut not being fully healed when done. My gut was in pretty bad shape for years with what I now know was yeast and bacteria overgrowth. Does the CBO protocol ever NOT heal the gut when done correctly? Do some people have to do it twice? Thank you for helping the world to be a better place! Dionna   Lara: Hi, dr. C :) I’m wondering about sriracha.. is it healthy, do you use it? How about salt.. iodized is considered unhealthy, why? Which is best? We live at the top of the Adriatic sea which basically means it’s a huge bay between Slovenia & Italy so I don’t think the sea here is super clean, but everyone swears our sea salt is the best.. and that Himalayan salt is coloured, how can we know which one is best? ..and how about black salt? Vegans use it to make chickpea omelettes taste more like eggs but is that a healthy salt? WebMD says it has antioxidants & lots of minerals, but we trust you the most.. Thank you for clearing all of that up for us.. you’re absolutely amazing, I listen to you every day!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3019 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3018: Apple Cider Vinegar, Premature Ovarian Failure, Skin Care Recommendation, Chronic Canker Sores, Synthroid & Pregnancy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Selena: What are your thoughts on apple cider vinagre, do you recommend to take it on a daily basis?   Holly: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you so much for all the information you share for free - it really is life changing. I started listening to your podcast a couple of months ago and I heard you explaining most diseases are curable except maybe cancer. I understand you can't give medical advice but I value your opinion and I'd really appreciate your thoughts on my situation. I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure also known as early menopause at age 30 with a FSH of 125 and a AMH of 0.2. I endured 6 years of infertility and finally had my miracle baby via IVF, egg donation and reproductive immunological therapy last year. Have you experienced Premature Ovarian Failure being cured? Would it be possible to restart ovulation and conceive naturally? If so what would you recommend for my next steps?   Dawn: Dear Doctor Cabral. Thank you so much for everything you do I enjoy watching you every day. I read your book. I use the daily nutritional support. I did your cleanse. everything you do is so helpful to us all. Thank you so much. I recently cleaned out all my cosmetic and skin care. Because I know of the dangers of everything we buy out there. I found a company called toupe and co. I really think you should check them out. Their ingredients are amazing and us women do like choices. And they are very good ones. Let us know what you think i'm sure you will approve.   Alie: Hi Dr. Cabral, Your podcast is amazing, I've learned so much from you and I really appreciate all that you do. I'm reaching out because I have been dealing with chronic canker sores for the last 3 months. I have always gotten them here and there, but for the last 3 months I have had 4-8 in my mouth at the same time, at all times. I have eliminated citrus and acidic foods from my diet and nothing seems to be working. Do you have any idea what else might be causing these? I also struggle with migraines, digestive issues, and hemorrhoids so I'm not sure if these things could all be connected? In the past I've been told to see a Rheumatologist as well, I never got to it so I wanted to know if you think that's worth while? Thank you so much!   Nicolette: Hi! i have been listening to your podcast for years, and it has truly changed my life and perspective on health! I have been diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism by my endocrinologist. Before starting a family, he has made it a point that with my TSH level fluctuating between 2.5-4.5 that once I’m pregnant, I would need to begin synthryoid. I obviously want to do what’s best for the baby, but also don’t want to take unnecessary medication. What are your thoughts on this? Is this a known or common practice? Are there other options to do while pregnant with a compromised thyroid? Thank you so much!     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3018 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Anonymous: Hi I found organic olives (after years of not eating them bc of shady ingredients) &wondering if these are ok?They’re organic green olives & organic Kalamata olives in water, non-iodized sea salt, organic wine vinegar, organic extra virgin olive oil, organic oregano, organic basil. We tend to eat a lot of them in the evening with dinner (or after dinner), is that a bad time to eat a lot of olives?How many would you recommend, considering we do put olive oil or pumpkin seed oil on our plate as well? Is dinner not the right meal to eat olives considering there’s fat? &food combining with olives? In one of your handouts they’re in the PROTEIN section, so they shouldn’t be combined with fats and carbs..? In the other handout they’re in the FAT section.. please explain The Olive Mystery, ty   Adriana: Hi Dr. Cabral I did my best research I could regarding my question. Hoping you can expand on the topic. In episode 2487, you touch on the subject of drinking mushroom coffee while pregnant. You don’t recommend it because mushrooms are “immune modulators“. Why do immune modulators Negatively impact pregnancy? Also, is it safe to drink mushroom coffee while trying to get pregnant? My mushroom coffee contains lions mane, chaga & reishi. Thank you!!   Diane: Hi Dr. Cabral I’ve been listening to your podcast since 2018. It’s definitely been a positive influence on my life. I have a question about TSH test. I’m 66 years old female. Both test were taking while fasting. I did a finger-stick at 4:30 AM and then I did a blood draw at 8:30 AM, both were done in about a three week span. The fingerstick said my TSH was five the blood drawn said my TSH was 2.42. I did not get my T4 T3. Can you explain why the huge difference. With the blood drawn be more accurate thanks. Diane   Justin: I have struggled with candida since I was 25 I’m not 41 I have been checked by a doctor and she just put me on dyfucan it killed them like your said in podcast but they came back my sugar cravings are mainly at night. I got sleep apnea at 36 I know have type 2 diabetes from I believe my diet and my stress. I have lowered my a1c from 10.5 to 6.5 by eating cleaner I've dropped my blood sugars to 140s but Iâ€'m trying to completely reverse it and Iâ'm so confused on what path to go on with the candida and the type 2 eating clean and detoxing I workout everyday and I have lost weight but it's very slow when I took metformin I dropped weight fast but got off of it as I had neuropathy from it I really want coaching and some help to master this healing I appreciate anything information you can give   Selena: Can genital herpes be completely cured?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3012 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3011: Non-Invasive Screening Technology, RBE Translations, Guanidinoacetic Acid, Conceiving After CBO, Root Cause of Insomnia (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral Have you heard of ANESA,a non-invasive screening analyser that determines 131 health parameters & allows estimating the state of organs & body systems, identifying signs of pathologies & health threats. It uses 5 microprocessors (2 on the neck, 2 in the underarms & 1 in the bellybutton. It calculates hemodynamic, biochemical & immunological parameters.The naturopaths I go to use it & they work with different oils with the process of thermoregulation in the body & how it tells us a lot of what’s going on inside.Their 2 research studies have been awarded last year at the 7th international congress on Naturopathic medicine in Paris,their names are Irma & Igor Ogorevc from Slovenia, if you are familiar with them?They use rapeseed oil in some of the oil mixes, what do you think?   Lara: Hi, again :) I wanted to add their oil ingredients are grown at their own facilities in Serbia & they have control over the origins of the seeds and they put their oils under analysis.. just wanted to ask what you think about the use of the rapeseed oil.. Secondly, I am trying to recommend The Rain-barrel effect to people but it hasn’t been translated to Slovenian yet! Any idea on how to help make that happen? Unfortunately a lot of people here don’t speak English that well to read books in it, but I feel like it’s a must-read for everyone who is interested in being healthy.. please help and thank you for all you do, you truly are an amazing soul!   Anthony: Hi Doc, second time writing in. Last time you helped answer some questions I had regarding the ecdysteroids - Turkesterone and Laxogenin. Really appreciate the deep dive you gave with the follow on episode too! I'm a big proponent of creatine and would like to know what you think of Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) is it safe and beneficial or too early to tell? Always grateful for your advice. Anthony   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - Love episode 2945 - on Metals. I did the big 5 came back with candida and heavy metals. Ran the 21 day FM, HMD & now in CBO as prep for pregnancy. 2 questions - How soon after the CBO would it be safe to start trying (detox while pregnant no advised) & how soon could we retest heavy metals to be sure levels are appropriate post detox - what is the expected drop-off in levels (I was high in aluminum & mercury).   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, been working on the root cause of my insomnia (10 years + after a TBI) after Big 5 . About 3/4 through 21 day FM detox --> HM Detox --> CBO and have been running the ultimate sleep protocol during + destress protocol. My resources are tapped at this point, so I can't retest stress/mood/met, so I would like your opinion at what point should I expect my high cortisol to be down enough so I can come off the sleep protocol and sleep well? How long can someone run adrenal soothe for safely?     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3011 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

3005: Itchy Throat & Avocados, Toxic Shock Syndrome, Factor V, Flu-Like Symptoms, Selenium Side Effects (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Roman: Howdy Dr. Cabral! When I eat avocados, I get an itchy throat. I typically just eat half an avocado. Is this an avocado allergy? I remember experiencing something similar after eating bananas, this hasn't happened in a long time though. Do I keep eating avocados? I mainly eat them because of all their health benefits and because they are delicious. What else might this reaction in my throat tell me? Thank you!   Heather: Hi there! Thanks as always for taking the time to answer our questions! Can you tell me a little bit about Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)? I searched the podcast archives and couldn't find any episodes on the topic. My cousin got it from using tampons and I was wondering what could be done naturally for TSS and if she could use non-toxic tampons in the future. Thanks again!   Jaclyn: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm an IHP & am so fortunate to have been taught by you. I love being able to share your podcasts/knowledge with friends family & clients, you have really changed my life in so many ways. Thank you! Personally, I wanted to write in & ask if you have any feedback regarding FACTOR V. I was diagnosed after my Mom's diagnosis (she had pulmonary embolisms after a long elective surgery) but she went two pregnancies, c-sections and other surgeries without knowing until this happened in her 50's. Now I am family planning & my OBGYN said i will need to take a baby aspirin daily while pregnant or heprin injections. This is very scary to me considering I do not take any medications, any information on this condition and especially alternative supplements would be greatly appreciated!   Anonymous: Hi, dr. C I had the flu in January and I was feeling run down for 3 weeks later still (I have fibromyalgia so everything seems to last longer for me, is it to do with mitochondria and ATP?), last 3 months I also have tinnitus & it's getting worse, can you help me with that, please? Now I had flu-like symptoms again for 1 day and sore throat & coughing up mucus for a week. Yesterday I went to sleep earlier because my body just felt so tired & I slept for almost 12h! Oura says it was 11h 48min & although there's 3h 18min of REM, there's only 1h 36min of deep sleep & a lot of it at the end, so if I slept a normal 8h, it would be much less. Usually I almost never get 90min of deep sleep. Why am I getting so little deep sleep & how to make it better? Thank you for your help   Marica: Hello Dr Cabral, Could you talk a little about selenium supplementation and its possible side effects? I was about to start taking some selenium supplements to help with my TED and I just read somewhere that it can cause skin cancer.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - Thank you and your wonderful team for all that you do to help our community. It truly is amazing and I never miss a podcast. To celebrate your 2000th episode, your wife joined you and shared some of her favorite skin care products and it was so great to get her perspective in addition to yours. Any chance she can make a reappearance and give us an update since, like you, she may have new favorites and other recommendations of what has worked best for her? Thank you!   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral - I recently had foot surgery that resulted in a small metal (titanium) plate that is now permanent. Are there any risks or precautions I should be aware of or protocols that you would recommend? Thank you for all that you do!   Rocco: Hi Dr Cabral, love your work and especially your chocolate DNS! I recently did the Big 5 labs (not all through Equilife as i am from Australia, and the costs unfortunately increase significantly due to shipping and taxes). I did my stool test through a naturopath in Australia, and one of the key findings was "very low PH" level. do you know why this would be and what i can do about it? The consistency of my stool sample was soft, elastase low; and butyrate and total SCFA were both high. The naturopath spoke to me about the reasons of my findings, but didn't seem to cover much off on my low ph. Should i be doing something to change this? Most of the other labs i did showed symptoms of high stress, so not sure if this has contributed to the very low ph in my stool sample. Thank you!   Amina: Why do I have very bad breath and I can't smell my own breath. When I was younger I always had bad breath. I brush, floss and even tongue scrap. Iv tryed everything. what can it be?   Lara: Hi, dr. C! I'm wondering about cornstarch and other starches in products.. we mostly find things with those starches in them in gluten free products.. even in CREAM OF TARTAR based baking powder.. oh, is cream of tartar (potassium bitartrate or potassium hydrogen tartrate) ok to use instead of other baking powders? Why is it so bad to consume cornstarch? Why is tapioca starch bad? And why potato starch? Is it only because they're probably GMO in USA? Because that is probably not the same for Europe, right? Here we're supposed to have better regulations when it comes to corn.. I think, heh.. It would be helpful to know how to explain this in length to friends and family here..

2998: Root Cause of PICA, Plans for Ayubowan, Pain When Eating, Taking Zinc & Magnesium, Detox After Cleaning (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Cara: I am a holistic nutritionist and I have a 12 year old client who started eating paper 5 years ago. I wanted to see what are the underlying causes of this which I believe is called PICA. She seems like she is on the autism spectrum so I am running a heavy metal test in her blood right now and would like to run a HTMA too. Anything else that you would suggest?   Isabella: Dear Dr. Cabral I don't mean to sound ungrateful but I as an Ayubowan member I was wondering if you could give an update on the plans for Ayubowan. I remember something about monthly Q & A with you, masterclasses with celebrity chef, mental health and binural beats expert etc. I have been a member from the start, but I seem to have missed the masterclasses. Can I find them somewhere so I can see or listen to them now? Thank you so much for a great podcast and products :-)   Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral. I am sometimes experiencing pain when eating. It feels like air is trapped in my throat and I get pain in my chest and back. When really bad I feel the pain even in my arms. I remember I was about 10 years old the first time I experienced this. I ate cold pancakes and enjoyed them so much that I forgot to chew the food enough. I do often experience this pain when eating something I really like but I am very attentive to chew my food now. Due to surgery I had to swallow a lot of pills and I got so much pain in my back, chest and arms that I just couldn't stand it. The pain stayed for about 30 minutes and was awful. I think it is esophagus spasm but I am not sure. Again, I feel like air og something is too big and trapped in my throat and gives so much back pain.   Lara: Hi, dr. C.. hope youâ're well and your family as well (Bacci included).. I've heard many times but not sure if this is true.. do Zinc and Magnesium absorb better if taken together? And if I take them after dinner along with an Omega3 oil is it ok to take Ashwaganda at the same time? Which supplements can be taken together and which apart? Thank you for your help and knowledge, lots of love to everyone and happy healing   Jennifer: Hi Dr Cabral, 2 questions...I clean an office building as a living. My shift are anywhere from 4-8 hours. I don't want to use Bluetooth headphones but I know it's not great to have my phone on my person either. Could you tell me the LEAST toxic way to listen to music & podcasts while working, that won't disturb others working around me? My boss has been very generous letting me use a non toxic cleaner of my choice, but there are still a few areas in the building where I am asked to use their toxic cleaners. Is there any way to detox my lungs at the end of a shift to protect myself from any product I might inhale? I already always use gloves when using these products to protect my skin.

2997: Detox Foot Bath, May-Thurner Syndrome, Finding New Research, Mastic Gum For Bloating, Sleep During Pregnancy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, Have you ever heard of a detox foot bath? My dad is doing them at health center here, where he soaks his feet for 30 mins in a copper basin. They add salt and electrodes to the water. After 30 mins the water is a nasty brownish color which must be the toxins being pulled from the body. Is this legit? And how does this work? Thanks   Grethen: Any information on what causes this or a natural treatment for Mayâ Thurner syndrome.   Stephanie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I had a question about how you find all new and recent research studies. I am a registered nurse looking into getting into nurse research and focus in functional medicine. I have been following you for years and have learned so much from your wisdom. Almost every podcast it seems you have a new and very recent research study (esp on Friday review shows) and wondering if you look up new studies every day or if you have some system or alerts you use that notifies you of new research studies that might interest you? If so, what are the major research databases do you use? Thank you for your passion in this field, you have taught me so much and can’t wait to start IHP in the future.   Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, I would like to thank you and your team for everything you and your team,. Jan/24 did the big 5 to figure out the root cause of Psoriasis, Bloating/gas and prep pre-pregnancy. We flagged: - Mercury/aluminum, Candida Overgrowth, High Oxalic Acid High Cortisol, Low DHEA I ran the 21 detox (psoriasis 95% gone, Auto immune markers gone bloodwork) I started Heavy Metal detox/IC & estrogen balance/ultimate sleep --> full CBO + daily sauna/destress protocol. Questions: Is there any downside to adding mastic gum for gas/bloating to the CBO protocol (I cannot stool test international)? How can we support sleep during pregnancy/breastfeeding . I have not slept this well s since my TBI 12 years and missed the melatonin for 2 nights and really felt it - Thanks in advance     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2997 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2992: Becoming “Anti-Fragile” May Hold the Key to Happiness & Personal Growth (MM)

Have you ever found yourself close to giving up?   I think we probably all have, but the problem is that shying away from obstacles that are presented in front of you on your journey towards your goals limits your ability to grow and blossom.   We must begin to stop and realize that these obstacles are what shape us and help us on our path to success and greater happiness.   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2992 I want to go over why becoming “anti-fragile” may hold the key to happiness & personal growth.

2991: Bile Acid Malabsorption, Plant-Based Diet & Oxalates, Protocols During Vacation, Root Cause of Pigmented Purpura Dermatosis, Pregnancy Glucose Test (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Cindy: I have battled diarrhea for several years, and despite all kinds of stool testing and various diagnosis, I finally diagnosed myself with bile acid malabsorption. I have the classic symptoms. They put me on medication for it, and it is controlling the diarrhea, but I am wondering if I will have to take medication the rest of my life or is there a cure?   Melissa: I trying to adopt a more plant based diet but am concerned about lectins and oxalates. I reading a lot about how they are damaging and consuming a lot of them on a plant based diet can have bad health effects. Can you advise if this is a real issue and how to handle, or if this something not to worry about?   Dionna: Hey, Dr. Cabral. First, a sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do. After a year and a half of being so sick, your Big 5, plus the gut health lab have changed my life! I am in month 2 of the CBO Protocol. We leave for Barbados on March 29th. I will still be about a week or two from finishing the Protocol, and will not have started the Gut Finisher yet. How can I go on vacation, be able to eat, and NOT reverse all the work I've done to get better. Also, I am not a big drinker at all, but on rare occasion, I like to enjoy a cocktail. Is that even a possibility while on the protocol? I want to enjoy vacation but more importantly, not mess up everything I've worked so hard for. Thank you! You are an Earth Angel! REVISED from just a few hours ago. I just wanted to clarify that I will be staying at an All Inclusive Resort while in Barbados. I'm not sure what my food options will look like, which is the basis for my original question. Thank you   Taliitha (tah-leh-thuh, like Tabitha, she/her): Thank you for having this forum to ask questions, and for consistently sharing your knowledge. I have pigmented purpura dermatosis, biopsy confirmed, that comes and goes over most of my body. If you are not familiar, it is a type of capillaritis. Do you have any thoughts on root cause or management? For over 6 months, and currently I am taking rutin and vitamin C in the form of equilife alkalizing vitamin C (based on a research article suggesting this would be helpful), no noticeable effects. Did minerals & metals, organic acids, food sensitivity labs. I am taking DNS, DFVB, B complex, magnesium, adrenal soothe, omega-3, and non-equilife zinc/elderberry gummies, histpro and digestive enzyme. Quarterly detoxes for 1 year with a 21-day, heavy metal detox, just started the CBO protocol.   Tin: I am 15 weeks pregnant and I am taking my time to learn more about prenatal and maternity health. I’m curious what are your thoughts about Oral Glucose Tolerance Test? It usually contains 75g of sugar in the solution and taken after fasting. I’m a bit concerned about this much sugar plus the colorings added to that. My OB said this is required to test for gestational diabetes but heard that test can come out false and inaccurate. My FBS and HbA1c are all good, I take supplements and workout, so I think I have low risk. What are other alternatives for this that has less risk to my body?

2990: BPA Warning, 3 Meals & Snacks Timing, Baking Paper & Silicone, HPA Axis Dysfunction & Stress, Best Time to Break a Fast (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Hannah: Hi its me again. I have one more question. I am a competitive equestrian, so i make sure my protective gear is as good as you can get. I noticed however on my helmet it has a PROP 65 warning containing BPA, could i be absorbing this? Thanks again, you are awesome   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. I was wondering, when you say we should eat 3 meals a day, does that include snacks ? And is it fine to just do 3 meals with no snacks if that works for your lifestyle? I am always told that i should be eating more than 3 meals, but i feel better off 3 big meals rather than 4 smaller ones as it causes me to binge for no known reason. Is that fine? Thanks   Lara: Hi! I looked into parchment/baking paper.. we use a non-bleached organic one and it says it’'s from forest trees but has a coating of silicone made from sand.. you once answered my question about using silicone moulds for baking and that it isn’t a problem so I’m guessing it’s ok on baking paper as well? Just checking, hehe.. thank you for all you do, love your work and this podcast, you’re amazing!   Dan: Hello Dr C How do I fix my HPA axis disfunction, which often leads to severe episodes of fatigue after intense physical or mental stressors. Thanks Dan!   Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, First I want to thank you for freely sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. It has truly changed the course of my life. In your Fatlossity course you said it is best to eat between the hours of 10-2. I get up at 4:30am for F45. How long is too long for me to wait to eat after waking without putting my body in a stressful state? Especially after a hard workout?

2984: Postpartum Bowel Movements, Fecal Test & Hemorrhoids, Painful Periods, Parasites in Stool, R-CPD, Low Thyroid & Binge Eating (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral I have always had very regular digestion and eat a healthy Whole Foods plant-based vegan diet. However, after having my baby nine months ago, everything changed. I went through natural childbirth and the babies head size was in the 99th percentile I had some pelvic floor issues after delivery And part of that was bleeding after bowel movements. The therapist attributed it to structural changes in pelvic floor. I have worked on pelvic floor exercises to remedy this, but currently the only thing that prevents me from bleeding when having bowel movements is drinking one “smooth move” tea per night, which features the herb Senna. I understand that you should never take laxatives on a daily basis, but this is the only thing that helps! Is senna ok?   Kenzie: I saw you recommended fecal immunotherapy test. If you sometimes have blood from hemmorhoids would that show in test/ effect results? Thank you   Anonymous: Hi, dr. C., I’m tracking my cycle with Oura.My follicular phase is usually between 17-21 days long,my luteal phase is around 10 days. What does that mean? My periods are not strong but they start with spotting a few days before the actual VERY PAINFUL first day of my period. The cramps/pain come in 3 or 4 intervals that last around 2h each, usually only on that first day but lately even on the second day once or twice. The pain is excruciating & unbearable, but I don’t take any pharmaceuticals. I use supplements, not sure about their bioavailability. I have fibromyalgia & I see with Oura that I get a lot of REM sleep but not 90min of deep sleep (usually between 1h or 75min, rarely 85). My stress levels are also very high throughout most of the day. Testing is not an option, please help   Anonymous: Hi ! I started taking parasite protocol last month and 2 weeks later , i began seeing white specks(that look like sesame seeds), and black flat hard shells(the size of a small bean) in my stool. I have been seeing so may of them since as well as a lot of mucus in the stool, and I am wondering if you have any insight on what kinds of parasite or parasite eggs these could be? If these are eggs and not fully grown parasites, would that mean I got the parasitic infection recently? I haven't seen any grown worms yet. Also, what can I do so I never get parasites again? It is so traumatic.   Lindsay: Hi Dr Cabral. I have self diagnosed myself with (R-CPD). I have all the symptoms. Mainly I can burp and get very gassy in my stomach because of it. I have no pain like other thank god. In my research the only thing I've found people do for relief is botox on their throat. Is there any functional medicine practices to help with the extended stomach issue from this?   Hannah: Hi Dr.Cabral. I would first off like to thankyou for all of the information you provide on these podcasts, it has changed my life in so many ways for the better. Im 17 and have been listening for 2 years now every since i started getting sick, i have had amenorrhea for two years that was followed by losing 17 kg unexpectedly in 6 months and alot of other issues with my gut even eating over 3000 calories a day (but whole food) . However the issue i have now is my thyroid keeps getting lower (currently at 3.74) and i cannot stop binge eating after a TBI in a horse riding accident and have gained 5+ kg in 1 month and it keeps going up. I cant afford lab tests (i live in australia) as i have looked into it and it just isnt possible, do you have any other recommendations?

2983: Hemiplegic Migraines, Headaches & Periods, Biological Dentists, Reaction to B Vitamins, AirPods & EMFs (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Kristina: My seven year old son had a strange episode at school that mimicked a stroke. The school nurse called and described my son's situation to me. His right leg, right arm and right side of his face were heavy and hard to move. He was unable to articulate what was going on. Ended up in ER where he had a CT scan. We followed up with an EEG a couple days later. All came back normal and they are guessing he had a hemipalegic migraine because everything resolved with no residual side effects. I'm curious what you know about these types of migraines and how to not experience any again.   Renta: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for your help. I’m a 38 year old woman who is healthy. I eat well, keep toxic products out of my home and lift weights 2-3 times per week. I’ve been dealing with this problem for over 2 years now and I don’t know what else to do. I have not had any c**id vX and had c**id in October 2021. During that week that I was sick I had my period. The main symptom I had was really extreme headaches. I don’t know if it’s linked to c**id but since then almost every period begins with a headache that can last 1-3 days. It is localised pain that I can pinpoint at the base of my head on the left side. It radiates up my head over my forehead and down into my eye socket. I also need to urinate frequently when this happens. Sometimes it might happen the week before my period.   Maria: It is very difficult to find a Biological dentist in Mass, can you provide a list?   Drew: Dr Cabral, Two years ago I ran the starter kit and started on the daily nutritional support shake in the morning and added in the B complex in the afternoon per the coaches recommendation. After a while I noticed that taking the B complex in the afternoon would make me feel like I had drank too much coffee and I would be on edge. I stopped taking the B complex and continued the DNS in the mornings. After about 6 to 9 months (not really sure of the exact time frame) I began to get the same feeling after my morning smoothie with the DNS. Wanting to stay on a multivitamin I went to a new company multi and got that same feeling; like I drank too much coffee. I am assuming that this feeling has something to do with the B vitamins. Can you help me understand what may be going on?   Erin: Hello Dr. Cabral, can you speak to EMF protectors for AirPods? I know the most ideal option is to use traditional headphones, but for those unwilling to forego wireless is this a legitimate option? More specifically, would love a product review on the Bodywell brand. Thanks!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2983 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2979: Stay Out of the Sun if You’re On These Medications (Serious Side Effects) (TWT)

Getting out in the sunshine is important for our health…   It can help with maintaining vitamin D levels but also works to improve mood, immunity, and regulate our circadian rhythm.   However, it's important to be aware that certain medications can increase sensitivity to sunlight, potentially leading to sunburns, rashes, and skin sensitivities.   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2979, I want to go over what medications can make you more prone to photosensitivity so you can be prepared.

2977: Slow Gut Motility, Severe GERD Relief, Preventing Parasites, Electric Blankets, Berberine & Muscle Protein Synthesis (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Sally: Hi doctor Cabral, what are your to tips for treating slow gut motility? My meals digest super slowly, even if I leave 4-5 hours between them, and it causes uncomfortable bloating. Thanks so much for your answer, really appreciate it!   Anonmous: Hi Dr Cabral, it seems that I am having a severe form of gerd. For about 3 years Ive had a persistent gnawing , sometimes burning pain around my sternum area so bad that i believe my vagus nerve has become inflamed. I occasionally get brain zap sensations akin to ssri withdraw, which may be due to vague nerve inflammation, but not sure. Anyway, it seems im finding relief for the first time using US based gaviscon. Im switching to UK based as US has aluminum, but the relief has been incredible. The UK ingredients are sodium alginate and pottasium hydrogen carbonate. What do you think of this medication for long term? I have tried many other natural solutions including healthy belly but it seems that this medication is giving life altering relief so far. Thanks   Nana: Hi Dr. Cabral and team! I recently realized i have parasites and i am taking plant paradox protocol. So scared they will come back. Whats the best way to prevent another parasitic infection? Also, i am sensitive to lectins but heard fermentation reduces lectin content. If i make fermented milk with A1 milk instead of A2 milk, would it still have lectins? Finding conflicting information online.   Elsa: What are your thoughts on heated/electric blankets? I get cold easily and use it nearly every night to help me fall asleep. I also have anxiety and the heat helps calm me in anxious moments. The blanket I use is low EMF and turns off after 2 hours but I still can’t help but worry that this may have long term risks if using every night. Would love your feedback, thanks!   Jamie: Dr. Cabral. Love your work. Changed my life! Also loving HPH. On a recent podcast you indicated that you are supplementing with Berberine and mentioned all of the benefits. My question is, is there any concern with Berberine suppressing muscle protein synthesis when taken on a regular basis?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2977 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2976: GHK Copper Peptide Patches, RhoGAM Shot, Prep for Child’s Surgery, Migraines & Deficiencies, Cleanse Comparisons (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Jami: Dr. Cabral, I look forward to your podcasts daily, and the functional medicine research that you provide. I am a registered dietitian and have clients asking about GHK copper peptide patches. There is a company called "Livewave" that sells small patches, and claims to use phototherapy and accupuncture within the patches, to trap infrared energy when placed on the body. I suspect just an MLM to be researched with discernment but have you discussed this at some point? I know you talk some of red light and infrared therapies, but can you tell me what is the most researched phototherapy, and whether or not to your knowledge, these patches would even have logic behind them? Thank you so much for your help.   Alexia Hi Dr. Cabral! Been working with your team a few months now and just want to thank you all for helping me get back to normal after my ectopic pregnancy and balancing my hormones. I wanted to ask your thoughts on the Rhogam shot they are telling me I will have to get in my future pregnancies because of my blood type being Negative and my husband positive. I am not wanting to do this and have been really stressed about it. Any advice? Other options? I understand this is not medical advice. Thanks again so much!!   Brittany: My 7 year old son is going to have heart surgery to repair an advanced ASD. How would you prepare your child for surgery - diet, supplements, etc and same for post op. Thank you sooo much for everything you do.   Daniel: I experience nearly daily migraines and have actively engaged with your practice, attentively listening to all of your podcasts. I've undergone numerous tests and focused on rectifying specific deficiencies. However, the challenge I face is that no matter which supplements I attempt, my migraine symptoms worsen. This issue extends beyond just supplements; it includes foods, and pharmaceuticals as well, even those prescribed for migraine prevention (BP, Triptans, etc), which I try to avoid. My primary concern revolves around addressing these deficiencies while working within my limitations. I've restricted my dietary choices based on histamine content and sensitivities, so I'm seeking guidance on how to manage deficiencies effectively when any sort of intake increases the pain.   Ryan: I was wondering if you could answer some questions about your Detox protocol and intestinal cleanse compared to another brand that a friend recommended to me, ZenCleanz. Do you know anything about their products and how are they different and/or similar to what you offer? I follow Mind Pump and trust the information they put out and the work you are doing. Just looking for clarification on the detox space as I've never done one before. Is there more than one way to skin a cat in terms of products and protocols or does your product to something more than say ZenCleanz products do? I'm just confused and want to get a product that's safe, effective and reasonably priced as there's a lot of over priced nonsense in the health space these days.

2970: Healing from Vaginal Delivery, Insect Repellent Clothing, Non-Smelling Stool, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Dry Skin & Lung Infections (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Anonymous: Hi Dr.Cabral, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer listener questions every week! A little over a year ago I had a vaginal delivery with forceps. At my six week checkup I was not completely healed and asked to come back another two weeks later. This went on until I was six months postpartum, every time having silver nitrate applied to the scar tissue. At six months postpartum it was finally suggested I have a procedure done where I would go under anesthesia and have the doctor remove all the granulation tissue. My question to you is there anything I could I have done to help my body heal better and avoid that situation? I already take the DNS, zinc, D, omega and probiotic. Thanks again for all you do.   Justin: What are your thoughts on permethrin and insectashield clothing. What are the best natural mosquito and tick repellents? I’ve heard geranium oil can repel ticks. Is that something you’re familiar with?   Anonymous: I wanted to ask what it might mean when you bowel movements have no or little smell. After doing some research, it seems it could be due to lack of bacteria due to anitbiotics, I do not take those and havent for many years. I did the CBO protocol (first month only) a few months ago, but thats about it. If it helps, I have been diagnosed with dyspepsia. I also have what feels like a strange inflammatory (sometimes w/ burning) painful pressure in my sternum area everyday, and its very discomforting, with the feeling of fullness and cramping on my right abdomen in my liver area (ive done 7 liver flushes before). I that I take 2 caps of mag07 nightly and full spectrum mag as well. I seem to get a lot of mucous coming up my throat thruout the day, even if I havent eaten in a while. Thanks.   Laura: Hi, dr, Cabral.. hope you and your family are well.. I’m interested in pumpkin seed oil.. is it a healthy option? Not for cooking, but in my country we always use it for salads, it has an amazing aroma and taste and it’s considered very healthy here, lots of people make their own, it’s a whole thing around here ;) But now I’m not sure how healthy it is because you never mention it.. I only heard it once on your podcast about how to add 3.23 extra years to your life, ep. 2482 - it was part of that research.. Please talk more about it if you can.. I am also interested in the difference between sunflower seeds, sunbutter & sunflower oil.. the latter is unhealthy, but the other two are healthy, right? Could you please explain why? Thank you so much for all your hard work..   Erin: Lung question! I was diagnosed with asthma and allergies at the age of one…and still to this day have sinusitis and all kinds of sinus problems depending on the time of year. The asthma had thankfully gotten significantly better. But I recently was listening to someone talk about the connection between dry skin and the lungs in Chinese medicine. This really got me thinking as i have been suffering with dry skin for awhile. He mentioned if you had lung conditions, even way back as a child, you could still have infection left in your lungs. How would one go about getting rid of these old infections ? I am currently on the CBo protocol (not sure if this helps in anyway). Hope this made sense but it really made me think and feel sure this is something i am dealing with   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2970 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2969: Never Dreaming, Teenage Acne, Short Follicular Phase, Sauna & High Blood Sugar, Tendonitis & Muscle Strain (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! What are the possible reasons for a person never dreaming while sleeping? Have you ever seen or heard of this? Could it be a nervous system issue? Maybe a result of some kind of trauma? This person would insist there has never been any sort of trauma. Maybe it’s not an issue at all and there’s just a portion of the population who don’t dream? I find it very strange as I dream every night very vividly. Looking forward to hearing your experience with this! Thanks!   Katie: Hi Dr Cabral, Could you please help with some advice for my teen sons acne. After seeing a Naturopath he has been off sugar, dairy and processed foods for 4 months with not too much change. He currently takes zinc and a probiotic and does clay masks.The only option he has been given from his gp is 3 to 6 months of antibiotics and Accutane which we want to avoid due to side effects and long term damage. As well as the pimples he already has alot of scarring and he is only 14. Thankyou for your time we appreciate it :)   Lindsay: I’d love to hear your thoughts on a shortened follicular phase. This is something I have been struggling with for the last 7-8 years. I wear an Oura ring and can clearly tell when I ovulate based on temperature change, vaginal discharge, and mittelschmerz. I typically bleed for 5 days at the beginning of my cycle and ovulate around day 10, resulting in a 24 day cycle. My luteal phase is always 13-14 days in length. In November I ovulated on day 7! I couldn’t believe it, I bled for 5 days, ovulated on day 7, and then had a 14-day luteal phase for a 21-day cycle. No history of birth control or health struggles to speak of, and not on any medication. No obvious hormonal issues: clear skin, healthy blood sugar levels, healthy weight, sleep well, and exercise regularly. 39 years old.   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! a question about sauna - is it still beneficial for someone who experiences elevation in blood sugar during / after a session? thank you.   Aaron: I've noticed that I'm more prone to tendonitis and muscle strain as I get older. I try to lift weights 2 to 4 times a week when I'm not injured. I'm interested to hear your thoughts as a physical trainer on how to increase muscle and strength without overstressing tendons. I'm especially interested to hear how you balance the workout advice with the DESTRESS protocol and supplementation. I try to eat whole food, try to exercise whole body workout daily, trying to reduce stress (big problem for me), I'm working on reducing toxins, worst sleep (my biggest problem I'm working on), very vata/anxious, can't take DNS because I'm sensitive to B6, but I do maintain my methylation, vit D, and magnesium, healthier now than I have been.

2963: Future Technology, Lowering Blood Pressure, Reducing Hemangioma, ZeroAcre Oil, Supporting Children’s Immune System (CHC)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Liam: Hello, I know you always stay up to date on the latest health tech so I am curious how far away you think we are from having a technology that would constantly monitor our bodies and give us the information that the Big 5 labs do but provide it every day. I understand this is speculative but you of all people would have a good guess as to how long it will take to get to that point. Thanks!   Kavita: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have a BIG question for you. A couple of years back I was asked to start taking blood pressure medication as my blood pressure was high. Please don't ask me if I have a record of my diastolic/systolic numbers because I don't. I did not want to get on any medication and went a different route as with a lot of things I do in my life :) That is why I am a dedicated listener/ follower of your podcast. I don't trust conventional medicine and love to hear it every time you say it on the podcast!! It just reaffirms my belief. So as far as dealing with my BP I started cutting down on processed food and also started adding less salt to my food. I use Himalayan Pink salt/ Redmond Salt/ Celtic sea salt in rotation. My husband and I also do intermittent fasting and don't eat aft   Leila: Hello, I had a CT done of my abdomen a couple months ago and everything was fine but they mentioned a hemangioma. I have known about this already and had a follow up MRI years ago and they said that was what it was. I read the report and it said 10cm and I’m pretty sure, without seeing my papers, that it was smaller back then. I am going to follow up with my primary, but do you have any suggestions on things I can do to support this? Thank you!   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! is there any chance you could do a product review on ZeroAcre oil? a lot of high profile restaurants are switching to this ‘fry-safe’ oil and moving away from seed oils. i’m curious to know as id like to be able to go to places like CAVA and get a salad without inflammatory oils. thanks!   Erin: Hello! So grateful for your help...I know you can't do medical diagnostics or anything like that but I know you have younger kids and was curious what you would do. Within the past 6 months my 7 year old got hand, foot and mouth then a month or so later drank water in the ocean on accident when it was very warm and later found out it had high bacterial levels and she ended up getting an awful stomach bug/virus. Then had flu had a week where she was well then caught strep throat. All this to ask...what can I do going forward. Her immune system is run down but I am just trying to figure an overall plan to get her back strong and a solid immune system.

2962: Postpartum & Bradycardia, Vaping & Breast Milk, Cancer & Family Support, No Sweating During Workout (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Charlye: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 28 yr old female, I'm fit with a muscular body type. I recently had my first baby, she was delivered via c-section at 33 weeks due to fetal distress. 5 days postpartum I was re-admitted to the hospital for high blood pressure with low heart rate. I have always had great blood pressure and I tested negative for preeclampsia. After EKGs and an Ecmo, It was determined I had bradycardia and a Wenckebach block, due to high vagal tone. I've always had a low resting heart, rate 50-60s awake, 40s while sleeping. I also struggle with intense general anxiety and had a stressful pregnancy. I'm curious about the biophysical relationship between the vagal nerve, my bradyarrhythmia, my anxiety, and my pre-term birth and how to approach healing and balancing my body. Thanks!   Kathryn: I am currently breastfeeding my toddler and I just haven’t been able to quit vaping. I stopped while I was pregnant but picked up the habit again due to stress about 7 months postpartum. I have stopped for a few weeks here and there but my partner vapes and I always end up vaping again. The nicotine level is the lowest you can get. I’m mostly worried about the heavy metals getting into my breast milk. Is it best to stop breastfeeding if I can’t quit vaping? How much harm am I doing to my child? I wish I had more support from my partner to quit but he assures me it’s harmless. I feel like the worst mother ever.   Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral I just want to say thank you for taking so much time to answer questions and be here for us all ! I just found out my mother has breast cancer . My grandmother and aunt had it as well . We don’t know the stage as of yet . What do you suggest we do for now to help her body get strong enough to fight this . I’m terrified and can’t think of it without crying as I have health issues myself and trying so hard to just keep my head above water for my kids . My mom is my grandmas care taker and it’s just a very scary situation. Also do you suggest BRACA testing for me and possibly removal of my tissue ? I need to have a breast explant so I’m thinking do it then . So much to consider in all of this . Thanks so much for your guidance.   Melissa: Question about not sweating during workouts. I am hydrated, I do LMNT water 30 minutes prior and 32 ounces water during. All I drink is water and always has electrolytes in it I just don't sweat easy. I heard on the latest genius life podcast (episode 364 at the 56ish minute mark) that sometimes you can have a cell that holds on and will not release so I'm wondering if you've heard of that and if there's a way to detox so that I can't start sweating easily? I can't sweat if I get an asana or workoutside in the heat. Just not during workouts. And I want to detox.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2962 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2956: Super Patches & Alzheimer's, African Black Soap, Other Ways to Empty Rain Barrel, Mushrooms & Chiari Malformation (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Laura: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I already asked you on IG, could you please do a review of the Super Patches? The founder Jay Dhaliwal had a mother with alzheimers & that’s why he funded research for these patches, to help people in another way without using pharmaceuticals.. there are many YT videos on it, demonstrations of a lateral and dynamic stability tests (I’ve seen it done live on volunteers from the audience as well).. the patches are supposed to work by VTT (vibrotactile trigger technology) and use nothing to absorb into your skin.. the information travels to your brain through your nerves and after using them for a while, your brain gets used to better responding to stress for example or mitigate chronic pain (depending on the patch).. could you please try them out & review them?Thank you    Lara: Hi, again :) I would also like to ask about this soap/shampoo bar that we are using.. It’s called the African black soap and the ingredients are Potassium Shea Butterate, Potassium Cocoate, Potassium Palmate, Aqua, Glycerin and that’s it.. are those ingredients ok for everyday use? My partner started to use it on his hair even though he has dandruff and his hair falls out a lot, we also use it to wash hands & shower with it.. We feel that You are the most trustworthy person in the world, that’s why we only want your opinion on products.. so please try the patches out and do a review and also help us choose the right soap :) Thank you so much for all you do..Love and health to all..   Jacquie: Hi Dr. Cabral, Did the big 5, and just finished up your 21 day FMD and heavy metal everything is better :) Psoarisis, sleep, energy, mood. THANK YOU! I have been sweating in a hot bath or infrared daily and feel this has been really important for my "rain barrel". Other than reducing toxins coming in (working on it), while pre-natal, pregnant and breastfeeding, how can we reduce our toxic load? I am worried that 2 3 years of not emptying the barrel will really detract from my new normal.   Christy: Hello! My son is 15 and diagnosed with chiari malformation. I own a mushroom store and believe in the mushrooms as medicine. He is an extreme athlete and learning about chiari I said absolutely no surgery. So I proceeded to ask him to try a lions mane extract I would make. Not using the standard extraction recipe I made a batch and the results have been amazing. The syrinx cysts were gone within 3 days, he had clear speech for the first time ever ( it would vary) the headaches gone, the bloody noses rarely happen compared to weekly before, The vomiting on a regular basis gone. Now Im not the Mom that ever let my child focus on pain and sickness so many of these symptoms we just passed off as nothing. Is there a way to get this tested? This is my formula and would like more study   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2956 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2955: Monoclonal Gammopathy, Hiatal Hernia in Children, Carbon 60 Antioxidant, Beau's Lines in Nails, Water Fast Advice (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Bri: Hello, I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy) a condition in which an atypical protein is found in the blood and you have a increased risk of having cancer in the future. If this were you, what would you do? Or what path would you start looking down?   Alicia: A holistic chiropractor informed us that our 6 year old son has a hiatal hernia. His symptom is a cough at night after he’s been asleep about an hour that eventually progresses to him throwing up. After that he’s able to return to sleep. This used to happen a few times a year and now it’s just been once so far this winter. Please explain what a hiatal hernia is, if it’s common in children, and how we can help him.   HC: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do for your community. I appreciate your selflessness and committment to inform us on real truths of healing!! Do you any knowledge on antioxidant Carbon 60? I have been looking at product (Carbon360) and would appreaciate your feedback. THank you again for all you do!!!!   Heather: Hey doc! Thanks as always for taking the time to answer our questions. Could you talk more in-depth about Beau's lines (the horizontal dents in nails that make them look warp-liked)? I listened to your podcasts on nails and you briefly mentioned these lines mean digestive-based issues. I've gone through the CBO Protocol & Gut Finisher, did a Food Sensitivity test & confirmed I only have a moderate sensitivity to rye & miso. The Beau's lines weren't something I noticed until recently when they started appearing on my fingernails but now I realize I've had them on my toenails for quite some time, otherwise, I would have brought it up to my health coach at the time I was working through the CBO. Thanks again!   Sienna: Hi doctor Cabral, I (47F) would love to do a 3-day water fast for health benefits, but without messing up my hormones and losing muscle. What would be the best way to approach this? Thanks so much for your answer!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Sarah: Hi Cabral! I'm 27 female, I've been suffering with UTIs and yeast infections for a few years now (as well as low hormones estrogen, prog, test + high cortisol), acne since 20. Previous hormone test also showed heavy metals and liver not detoxing properly. On research I've seen candida and parasites go hand in hand? And that there is an order to cleansing/healing. I don't have the funds to do multiple tests, I've already tried a bunch of things (dmannose, garlic, oregano oil, caprylic acid, sugar elimination ETC) - still dealing with issues, want to heal for good. Where do I start/what do I tackle first? I'm taking a biofilm disruptor + probiotics, planning on trying antimicrobal herbs again and maybe start doing castor oil packs and coffee enemas. Unsure how to do parasite cleanse? Thanks!   Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral I can't thank you enough for the rain barrel effect, it has changed my life. I am wondering what your exact protocol for removal Mercury dental fillings. For context I ran the big 5 as I have candida and a very sensitive gut, and psoarisis. I wanted to know the root cause before starting to try and get pregnant. I came back high on mercury, and aluminum. Running 3 week functional medicine d e tox and then heavy metal detox. I am coordinating with a iaomt dentist, what else would you do knowing that I would like to get pregnant in the future.   Nicole: If my son becomes a patient of yours, can you cure his EoE?   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! have you heard of mucous membrane pemphigoid? i am asking on behalf of my dad who has been struggling with swollen lips, lesions on the inner bottom lip and extreme sensitivity to anything citric/acidic based. he was referred to a specialty dermatologist by our amazing biological dentist. any additional info, things to do/avoid would be awesome. thank you.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2949 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2948: Fasting & Chemo, Goat Whey Protein, Proper Ratio of Vitamin A to Vitamin D, Recommendations for Complicated Cases, Tinnitus & Detox (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Brooke: I recently listened to your podcast on fasting & chemotherapy, I got diagnosed with breast cancer and started chemotherapy. Trying to implement fasting along with it, read some studies on the benefits of it reducing side effects. Could you explain more on how it helps and how I should go about fasting during treatment? Is there other ways I can support my body during treatment?   Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, what are your thoughts on Goat Whey Protein? I don’t do well with dairy or meat, so its difficult for me to maintain bulk when strength training. The brand Im looking at (Mt Capra) is quite pricey so would like to get your opinion on such products firstly. Thanks   Thomas: Thanks for all your work. It has been a valuable resource for me in my health journey. I've tested positive for candida and bacterial overgrowth and I'm doing the CBO protocol followed by the Mold Protocol to detox from mold exposure in a previous home. I've successfully alleviated all of the nutritional deficiencies I developed during years of dysbiosis. However, I'm unclear on one question and I haven't been able to find a satisfactory answer. What is the proper ratio of vitamin A to vitamin D? I'm hoping to restore my digestive health to the point that I will be able to acquire most of my micronutrients from my diet but in the meantime I'm currently supplementing both A and D.   Morgan: I'm said to be an extremely complicated case. I'm 27 and have chronic EBV, lyme antibodies, fibromyalgia, SIBO, a persistent returning jaw cavitation despite having gotten successful surgery. I have issues with proper detoxing despite having done it for months. I have some high heavy metals, and am looking into parasites. Tested my apartment for mold and found it to be higher than the average, trying to get out within the next couple months but i do infrared sauna 4-7 times a well, support digestion with bitters, do cold therapy, have the best air purifer in my room, walk daily, drink green/veggie/fruit juices, etc. My kidneys are the weakest, and constipation despite magnesium intake. I clear out my nose with nasal spray, but I still struggle. What do you recommend?   Joesph: Hey doc big fan. One of my family members just finished cancer treatment (chemo) and has tinnitus in both ears. I was thinking he should do the heavy metal detox just wanted to know what you think thanks for all you do.     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2948 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2942: Skincare Supplements, Hemoptysis, Nabothian Cyst, Children’s Health, Detox Respiratory System (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…     Elise: Hi Dr Stephen Cabral, firstly - huge thanks for turning my life around with your protocols since 2018. Forever grateful. My question is, I recently saw an advertisement for a skin supplement called Activated You, and it said consuming collagen internally is basically useless, and that what we really need to consumer are other things in their skin care supplement and in particular: Lysine, L-Arginine, and L-Proline. What are your thoughts on this? Do you include these in any of your products? I take the DNS powder daily. Thanks, Elise   Javier: Good Morning Doc! Hope all is well with you , family and business! Question for you…recently I’ve went from sauna to 55 degree cold dip…and I’ve been coughing up blood… they found a small infection in my lower left lung…Antibiotics cleared it out…so a day before the follow up appt I dipped again and coughed up even more after a 30 min sauna and 50 degree dip… After several blood cultures and lung function test showed clear they decided to do a bronchoscopy which looked clear but she’s waiting on results on fluid biopsy tests… My pulmonary doctor is pretty sure it’s hymoptysis but wants to rule everything out… just wanted to see your thoughts on this and if you’ve e heard of any other cases like mines. I’ve done it for a year very frequently with no issues…same method…hop from sauna   Pati: Hi Dr Cabral, I recently has a transvaginal ultrasound and the findings were that everything was normal. My doctor mentioned things looked good. But on the results also found Cervix: Nabothian cyst. Have you had any experience with client who have had these before and if so are they any suggestions of how to eliminate them? Sorry if this is TMI! Thank you for all you do!   Paty: Hello Dr Cabral,I have questions about my son’s health.Vegetarian,10 yrs old,he doesn’t like (vegetables,fruits,eggs,milk,smoothies) but he loves cheese so he will only eat salads with cheese and dressing and he likes sweets.His hands gets so dry and itchy,Dr said eczema gave me a cream when it flares.Also the skin on his back is having areas of discoloration.He tends to be anxious,ocd,eye tics, nose bleeds constantly and is stuffy,ENT Dr wants to do a procedure for enlarged turbinates and cauterize but it has been done many times. His iron tends to be low.Currently he takes cod liver oil,children multivitamin with iron,folate with B12,calcium gummies with D3 and comfort shen for anxiety. What tests and protocols would you recommend for him, should he do the ENT procedure? Thanks    Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I do weekly coffee enemas, and sometimes more when I feel it’s needed. Although I have seen great benefit in many ways from this schedule, I’ve had an IHP tell me that they can strip away too many minerals along with the toxins. I listen to several natural health practitioners I trust who do them every single day. I intend to ask them how their mineral levels are personally since every day seems excessive. Some of them will do a mineral rich implant enema of wheat grass, chlorophyll, liquid mineral supplements, potassium, or herbal blends after the coffee, and some don’t do anything. I always replenish through the day by drinking electrolytes, fruit/veggie blend, bone broth, or veggie juices. What are your thoughts on any of these mineral rich implants? Thanks!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2942 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2941: CT Scan & Cancer Risk, Is Meditation Working, Omega-3 & Oxidative Stress, Histamine Response & Detox (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Melissa: I've had 6 CTs in my life (abdomen at age 23; neck, abdomen, and head at age 30; and spine and head at age 36). I calculated my total additional cancer risk based on some research and calculators to be somewhere between 1-2%. This feels like a huge risk to me, and I'm terrified that it's one I cannot do anything about, as I understand it's just chance that my cells may not repair themselves or die - and then that's that. How risky is it really to have this many CTs already, and what can I actually do (if anything) to prevent radiation-induced cancer down the road? How much control do we really have in cancer prevention (of any cancer type) from this source? Thanks so much!   Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral - You've helped me so much. My question is on meditation. I am trying to work on my chronic stress and started meditation about three months ago. I don't feel any changes from it. I read a book, read articles, tried mantra meditation, tried guided meditation, tried different styles, and tried doing it on my own. I started with 15 minute meditations twice daily but after two months of not feeling anything reduced it to 10 minutes first thing in the morning. Questions since I don't feel any changes: 1- Does this mean I'm doing it wrong? 2- Even if I don't feel any different can I assume it's still making changes in my brain? 3- Are there some people who have to fix other things before they feel changes from meditation? Does meditation not help some?   Anita: Dear Dr Cabral, thank you for all of the knowledge you share with your community. I value and appreciate you. I just came across the Jay Feldman Wellness podcast. In podcast #106;he shares studies stating omega 3’s lead to oxidative stress. I’m wondering if you have read the studies he refers to, and am interested in your feedback on this subject. He did not say low quality omega-3‘s, and he cited many studies. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Anita   Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’ve been doing a seasonal detox for a few years now, and I learn something new and am able to pin point new things EVERY time! The last few times I’ve noticed while on the detox, basically every night I have some type of histamine response during/after dinner. It doesn’t happen during or after lunch, just dinner. I’ve used DNS daily for years so no problem there. I assume there’s something in one of the detox supplements that’s causing a histamine response? My ears, pointer fingers, knees, and toes all turn red hot and a little puffy/tight feeling. Thoughts? I usually just plow through and continue taking the supplements since the reaction doesn’t last long. Hoping the benefits are outweighing the risks, but I’m not so sure. I always appreciate your opinion   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2941 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2935: Vitamin D From Cholecalciferol, Poison Ivy, Food Allergies in Kids, H Pylori & Betaine HCL, Methylene Blue Review (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Melissa: I have been told that vitamin d from cholecalciferol is toxic and a possible carcinogen. That it can also be bad for cholesterol and other things. Can you elaborate on this? I can only use vegan supplements due to a mammal allergy (Alpha-Gal) and, the vitamin d I use is made from this. Am I using this when I should not be?   Rhonda: Hey, Doc! I'm a big fan of your show and relatively new to living a more holistic lifestyle. Your show has been an amazing resource for me. We moved recently and our new yard has several patches of poison ivy. I am extremely sensitive to the oil. One small point of contact and I swear the ivy rash is all over my body in the blink of an eye. What do you recommend to treat the rash? And what do you think would be the safest method for eliminating any growth around the yard? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!   Deanna: Dr.Cabral, Thanks for sharing your knowledge everyday with your podcasts and more! At the time of writing this my son is a little over one year. He suffers from severe food allergies to peanut, tree nut, sesame, and egg. We’re going to start an oral immune therapy this spring to hopefully overcome these. I want to make sure we’re doing everything we can to help my son have the best outcome. Are there any tests you recommend, and how young can we start testing and treatments? For background, my son was breastfed for four months and born vaginally. Thank you again!   Julia: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been researching this for a bit and can't find a clear answer to this question. I heard you say on a podcast that we shouldn't take Betaine HCL if we have H Pylori and I am trying to figure out why. If someone has H pylori and low stomach acid but no ulcers or reflux, what would be contra-indicative in taking Betaine HCL? I know h. pylori doesn't like an environment too acidic and secretes substances to raise the PH in the stomach, wouldn't it help to counteract this action? Thank you   Cassandra: Hello Dr. Cabral! Back in 2021, you did a product review on methylene blue. Do you still take? Would you be willing to do a full case study podcast on its benefits and risks? I'm most interested in understanding the impact on the gut microbiome, healing of mitochondria (leading to increased production of ATP), and how it improves cognitive function. Also, are there any risks to daily consumption?

2934: Forbidden Foods, Cold Exposure & Kids, Coffee & Detox, IV Antibiotics & Gut Health, Data Privacy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Lindsey: I would love your thoughts this. I do not want to make any foods forbidden, or label good/bad, etc. I understand how that can create psychologic issues and cravings. I do want to educate about ingredients and make her aware of how food makes her feel or how it psychologically affects and fuels her body. It may nourish her body or soul. My dilemma - I have always had an issue with the "everything in moderation" theory - because I cannot get past the info I have learned about food additives, dyes, chemicals, pesticides, etc in food, drinks and water. They are actual poisons banned in other countries and when studies are actually done, some even found to be contributing factors to many diseases. How do I reconcile this where do you draw the lines without psyc damage in the real world?   Lindsey: Hello Dr Cabral - I'd love your thoughts on a discussion about cold. I know this could be several podcasts on its own, but wondering about the potential risks or benefits of cold exposure for kids specifically. We all know about cold plunges for adults and other countries that do similar things even for kids. I believe I saw an article of a kindergarten class in Norway running through the snow barefoot with barely underclothes on. What's the line of this being good for the bodily systems vs. the traditional wisdom of keeping a chill off the neck/lymph for fear of getting sick?

Not everyone is a believer yet in incorporating intermittent fasting into their daily routine-   Some say they have tried it and had little to no success…   But I believe that the majority of people who it’s not working for may not be doing it right, which either does not provide them with the results they want or can cause unwanted and unexpected health side effects in the long term.   So today on #CabralConcept 2931, I want to go over the big weight loss intermittent fasting mistake and what you can do instead.

2928: Pancreatic IPMN Cysts, CBO & Birth Control, Banza Rice, Mouthwash Alternatives, Daily Melatonin, Melatonin & Pregnancy (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Lisa: Hello Again Dr. Cabral, In addition to having a Mega-stomach & colon along with LIMO, which seems to reoccur, I have IPMN branch cysts on my pancreas which have not changed in the last 6 months so will be monitored annually. I am not sure if this has attributed to my conditions, but I do take a digestive enzyme along with HCL with each meal. I am not sure if I am taking enough, but I take what I can afford. My GI doctors have been stumped by my conditions, but did offer antibiotics for my LIMO, which I am considering because my insurance will cover it and I am out of money. What would you do if you had these conditions?   Anonymous: Hello! I am currently taking the pill form of birth control. I plan to come off of the birth control in about 6 months. I plan to test my hormones at that point to start rebalancing. I also would like to do the Cbo protocol due to excessive gas and bloating I’ve experienced for several years now. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to do the Cbo protocol while still on the birth control or should I wait until I have come off of it. I know the birth control can have negative affects on my gut so I don’t want to slow my gut healing by doing it while still on the birth control. thank you.   Lindsay: Hello,I loved today's episode on rice. I eat a lot of Banza. It's a chickpea rice. what are your thoughts on that? https://www.eatbanza.com/products/chickpea-rice-garlic-olive-oil   Luis: Hi Dr. Cabral, Do you have any thoughts on Monoatomic Gold? How about Colloidal Silver as a daily mouth wash? Thanks   Jessica: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you for all you do to empower so many people! My question is on melatonin. I know you’ve done many episodes on melatonin and are generally a proponent of its usage in moderate amounts. I typically take 2-3 mg per night. But there are a lot of people in the health space who do not think taking melatonin is a good idea. I hear them usually say something about it being a hormone and not wanting to introduce external hormones to the body if you can help it. But I’ve always found their rationale to be vague. I know you’ve done so much research on melatonin. Could you articulate the “steel man” argument for why taking 1-5mg of melatonin every night may not be a good idea?   Jessica: One more question on melatonin - Would you advise someone stop taking melatonin when they become pregnant? That seems to be the conventional wisdom because there is little research on it. But, in theory, it seems like melatonin could be useful for calming the mother’s central nervous system, improving sleep, providing antioxidants, etc. — all of which would be favorable to the baby.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2928 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2927: Date Seed Coffee, Acid Reflux & Spicy Foods, Gut Health After Surgery, Detox After Virus, Abdomen Distention (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Lara: Hi, dr. C, hope you and your family are well.. I saw some recipes for date seed coffee.. is it healthy to grind date seeds and make “coffee” out of them? Secondly, I was checking your resources and haven’t found what you recommend for baking powder.. which are the acceptable ingredients? Which ones should we watch out for? Also, which ingredients to make a blend of gluten free flour? They usually contain xantan gum and tapioca starch or flour.. is cassava flour ok? What else? It would be so helpful if you did a list of foods and ingredients that are ok/not ok.. Thank you for being such an amazing encyclopaedia of information.. you are an amazing soul..   Samantha: Hi doctor Cabral, I love eating very spicy food, but sometimes it can leave my esophagus and throat feeling raw and irritated for days. And now I'm worried about a claim I heard that eating too much spicy food can increase the risk of stomach cancer due to the acid reflux. What are your about this? Thanks so much, I really appreciate you   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently had hernia surgery where they repaired 4 hernias in my abdomen and placed a mesh panel from my sternum down to my bellybutton to prevent future hernias. I was under general anesthesia for three hours and was on pain medication including Advil for two weeks. After surgery I’m having extreme stomach and intestinal pain after I eat. It is not tied to any specific food that I eat and it does not happen at every meal. I am wondering if the Advil or other pain medication could have affected my gut and what you suggest to heal. I completed the full CBO protocol right before surgery and did not have this pain before. Any information or advice that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.   Marica: Hi Dr Cabral, Can you please come up with a C-vid VX Detox? I am almost 100% sure that the vx is what caused my Graves disease. Thanks so much! Regards,   Lisa: Dear Dr. Cabral, Thank you for generously sharing your expertise! You have helped me immensely on my journey back from chronic fatigue & pain! I find myself at 60 years old with a "Mega-stomach" and "Mega-colon", I'm assuming from constipation that I was unaware of due to daily bowel movements. Though I weigh about 113 pounds at 5'-2" I look as if I am 6 months pregnant. This distention is not from bloat, but is a "permanent" distention. Or is it? I never feel full which is frustrating. I also have LIMO (Lower Intestinal Microbial Overgrowth) which tends to make me constipated, though I am able to manage this with supplements. I've done all of the relevant Equilife protocols and detoxes, but can't afford the CBO Protocol again. Please share what you can.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2927 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jeffrey: Hello from one of your grateful students, I searched the podcast for info on a product called Transfer Factor, but found no results. I have a potential client who's recovering from chemo / Pancreatic tumor and is taking the product to support immunity. (from Web MD: A transfer factor is a chemical that is taken from a human or animal that has already developed protection (immunity) against a certain disease.) Would love to hear your thoughts on it, also compared to the Immunity Protocol. Thanks!   Zach: Yo, doc C. What’s good homie!? I have two questions. First question: did moose Cabral have a middle name? Second question: what is your favorite cookie or cookies if you have more than 1? P.s- you are the man! Thank you for continuously dropping gems of knowledge for all to hear and learn. Keep up the great work! Much appreciated   Angie: My daughter is going on a missions trip to Peru in March. It is suggested that she take typhoid and malaria pills before departure. I would rather not do this. What would a natural recommendation be?   Lauren: Hello! I have lymph nodes in my neck and by my collar bone that have been noticeable for over a year now. When I’ve been to my primary care doctor she just said it’s normal when your body is fighting an infection. But this has been forever! They don’t seem to be getting bigger but they also aren’t going away. I am also very puffy. I can’t do anything to get the puffiness to go away. I did take your inflammation test and I was off the charts with inflammation. I also did the food sensitivity test and the only thing slightly sensitive was sesame, brazil nuts and vanilla. i’ve stayed away from those and nothing has changed. My doctors have also told me I have very low blood pressure. I’m not sure if any of this is related. Any suggestions? Thanks!   Marisa: Are there any dietary changes or supplements I can implement to help reduce inflammation in my child that has an auto inflammatory condition (PFAPA). Could this be related to his impulsivity/ADHD?   Katarzyna: Hej, My name’s Katarzyna and i want to Lose some weight. Can you help me?

I do not want to do the antibiotic protocol that they have for 15 months with three high-powered antibiotics a day as I know that will wreck the immune system. The bacteria in my lungs has grown the past 3 years. I work part-time M 69 years old and take a low dose of Lisinopril for blood pressure as well. I am 165 lb and in 5 ft 10. I work part-time in my own gardening business but get tired and wear out faster than what I would like.   Ify: Hello Dr. Cabral. Thank you for everything you do. I wish I had submitted this question when I first found you but I'm okay with the wait. I have had hyperthyroidism for a number of years now and I have had scans confirming it is caused by graves disease. After being on Tapazole for 2 years and a bit I was advised to take radioactive iodine but decided that wasn't for me and ended up taking herbal teas to mitigate my symptoms. I had decided I wasn't damaging my liver anymore and got off my drugs. Since then my symptoms have been non-existent, resting hear rate averaging 80-90 BPM, no sweating or shaking or any expected symptoms. My new endo says I'm still hyper with THS at   Katie: Hello Dr.Cabral Katie here! Big fan! I watch you every morning with my DNS nutritional support shake and coffee :) I am so grateful to have found you and have learned so much from you! Thank you for sharing your raw knowledge and not being afraid to go against the grain. I work as a Clinical Nutritionist at a Bariatric center. I don't agree with everything we do but see great results from the surgery. We are told to have patients do all sugar free items and I have seen the research recently that it can cause weight gain. I morally fight with it as I don't care to give that advise but alot of the patients are highly addicted to sugar. I do suggest they get checked for bacteria overgrowth if they seem to crave all the time. Any advice is appreciated!   David: Hi Dr Cabral from New Zealand, have been enjoying your podcast for a few years now and have a question regarding my 8 year old son who is having trouble with swollen and sore lymph nodes in his neck and sometimes groin. We've seen multiple doctors and specialists over the last 8months and done blood tests. They have suggested only pain relief, anti histamines and nasal spray. He is a otherwise healthy, active and out going kid but the constant pain he is in is extremely frustrating as a parent. Do you have any suggestions that he might try? Many Thanks,   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2920 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2914: Blue Zones Evidence, Large Pores, Baking Ingredients & Tools, Conflicting Views on Anti-Aging, Body Changes & Weather (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Paul: Hi Dr. Cabral, Love your show and your ability to stay measured in polarizing times. I know you are evidence based and I’m wondering if you’ve looked deeper into the blue zones you reference. The book (now Netflix series) is largely anecdotal and cherry picked data and certainly cannot be referenced as scientific fact. The takeaway from the blue zones is lifestyle. Movement, culture, limiting processed foods, etc and that is what needs to be focused on. Interested in your thoughts and thank you!   Elizabeth: Hi, Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for taking my question! Over the past two to three months, one LARGE pore on my cheek appeared out of nowhere (that seems to not be blocked), one more that has recently appeared under my eye but isn't quite as drastic as the one on my cheek, and now one on my chin. I find it odd that these insanely large pores suddenly appeared with no other larger pores about them. Please help! Over the past month, I recently started using Trentinoin and I'm hoping that it'll help, but it hasn't seemed to make a difference so far. Again, these pores don't seem to be blocked. What might you suggest? I would appreciate any thoughts you may have. Just FYI, I searched your podcasts because I wanted a quicker answer :) but to no avail. :)   Lara: Hi, dr. C! Hope you and your family are well.. I’m wondering about baking.. what are ok ingredients of baking powder? Is it ok to use just baking soda instead (sodium bicarbonate)? All cream of tartar baking powders I found have cornstarch in them.. And also, are silicone moulds ok to use? Or what are best for baking cakes, muffins, etc.. even nonstick if you line it with parchment paper? Thank you for your recommendations, enjoy your week   Cynthia: Hi Doctor Cabral, I've noticed a surge in health influencers advocating for the anti-aging benefits of protein and weightlifting, recommending a minimum of 1.2 to 1.6 grams of animal-based protein per kilogram of body weight. They also encourage resistance training over extensive cardio. However, I'm intrigued by the growing number of anti-aging scientists turning to veganism and reducing their protein intake. This conflicting information has left me puzzled, and I'd appreciate your insights on this matter. Thank you for all your wonderful work. I deeply value your expertise and guidance, and I'm grateful to have you as a trusted resource.   Crystal: Why does the body react to weather, such as changes in weather, rain, snow, humidity/barometric changes day to night?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2914 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Shelly: Hello. Could you explain the difference between the citricidal and biocidin that you use in your practice? And which one could be best used if experiencing SIBO and mold? Thank you.   Paris: You are the best Dr Cabral you are my idol I listen to all your videos. A tiny bump that will not go away like a hemorrhoid does it have to be surgically removed or will anything shrink natural it for good and dissolve it? It’s been there for three years. It doesn’t hurt but I know it’s there and i just want it to heal. I’ve tried ozonated olive oil aloe Vera - sugar. Red light therapy ozone therapy. But nothing works What is the most powerful way to restore healing for dad who was a drummer? What does it mean when you are hypersensitive to smells? I know you stated you can smell the smells too and you are extremely healthy. Does it mean the liver is truly toxic or can it mean I’m healthy bc I can smell it ?   Cynthia: Doctor Cabral I had one side of thyroid removed 5 years ago at 57 years old. The reason.. I had a nodule which was benign however it was growing. It was monitored over 3 years before removed. I was immediately put on Thyroid meds. I never had thyroid problems or blood tests showing any concern before the partial removal. Doctors didn’t wait to test they just put me on meds. They say it’s lifetime. I am currently on 137 mg of Synthroid or generic. Can I try to go off meds ? Is it dangerous ?

2907: Dent in Leg, Work Badges & EMFs, Detox Heavy Metals, GLP & Dysautonomia, ALA For Blood Glucose (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jilian: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a strange question regarding my leg. I have a dent in my upper right quad that runs horizontally. It seems as if my quad muscle somehow split, however I have no clue why or how. I saw a doctor who said it’s not fatty tissue but appears to be my muscle. The dent is pretty noticeable but not painful. I noticed it sometime after having my first child but it either went away or was not as significant. But since having my second child it’s come back and more prominent. For reference I’m currently 10 months postpartum with my second and weight 125lbs (nearly pre pregnancy weight). My hormones according to a regular doctor test said everything looks fine, although I know in the past I’ve been told I have PCOS. Not sure what’s causing this dent.   Leila: Hi Dr. Cabral! I work as a nurse in the hospital and our hospital is implementing new badges that track us throughout the hospital. Our badges clip to our shirt and hang over our chest and it makes me wonder if we should be doing something to protect ourselves. Thanks!   Dacia: My aluminum number is 43 nickel 5.9 and cadmium is high too …I’ve been tested by a doctor and have been doing chelations Thru an IV for a year ….I’m completely broke because I have spent over $10K on these treatments…I need a protocol I can do at home …I have a red light therapy machine and a doctor grade ionic foot bath at home …very interested in what i can do with products to take internally …my quality of life is about a 3 out of a ten …very fatigued and flared up from Rheumatoid arthritis (or the heavy metals ) please help !!!! Thank you !!!!!   Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral , I just finished listening to your podcast on glp meds . It scared me because I’m on them , Not for weight loss but for dysautonomia. My blood sugar was all over the place even with a Perfect diet , your detoxes , protocols , big 5 , working with a coach ect .. I did have improvements but still did not have much energy, stamina and alway dizzy as well as fight or flight. My functional Med Dr. Suggested Ozempic & then Mounjaro.

2906: Throat Congestion, Non-Toxic Clothing, Coming Off Effexor, Environmental Allergies & DNS (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Stacy: For about 3 months now my throat feels like someone’s foot is on my neck, every time I eat or drink anything even drinking water cause this sensation. It started first with feeling nasal congestion when I ate laying down. But for over 1 month I was congested and I took many over the counter drugs and nothing helped. I went to an ENT and now symptoms are much better. However, my throat and head flared up and sometimes my ears feel congestion . I have some regurgitation but very little to no mucus. I don’t think it’s what I’m eating since I have been on an anti-inflammatory diet since Sept 1. The sensation starts when I feel hungry or after I eat or drink. I’ve tried protonix, omeprazole and H2 blockers was on it for about 6 weeks and felt even more pressure in my head.    Marcia: Hi Dr Cabral, Could you please talk about what material of clothing is non-toxic and safest to wear? And would it be possible to list the worst offenders, that way I'll know which materials to absolutely avoid? Also, do you have any favorite non-toxic clothing brands? Thank you so much! Big fan of your content. Your book "The Rain Barrel Effect" should be required reading for everyone. It was such an eye opener for me.   Katie: Hi Dr Cabral, I recently have come off the anti anxiety pill effexor .35mg (been off it for about 3 months now) and I am finding I cannot wake up in the morning for the life of me. I set 12 alarms and still cannot get up, and it’s really messing with my life. I also never feel refreshed when I finally do end up waking up. I didn’t have this issue while being on that pill and am really struggling. Thanks for your help !   Erin: DNS question: i use this every morning as my breakfast. I have struggled over the years (and specifically more in the fall and i know it’s the environmental allergies in my area this time year)….struggle with high heart rate at night, extremely bloated stomach/gassy, and overall just feeling awful in the middle of the night. I ran out of my protein powder for over a week and this went away. As soon as i started it again, back these symptoms came. I have tested this multiple times now to comfirm. Is this the b vitamins? What is happening here…it is driving me crazy and i am desperate to figure out what is happening   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2906 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2900: Nightmares & Melatonin, CNS & Basal Body Temperature, Testing for Parasites, Goat’s Milk & Eczema, Omega-3 & Calanus Finmarchicus (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jenna: I experience vivid nightmares when taking melatonin. Why is that and is there any way to avoid it?   Grace: Hi Dr.Cabral, I am 25-year old female I have been taking my basal temperature every morning through Natural Cycles as a natural form of birth control. My temperature is always fluctuating between mid-96 to mid-97 degrees. I learned in level 1 this could be a sign of CNS. I don’t believe to have other symptoms of CNS. What tests would you recommend running as well as what symptoms to look for?   Katy: Hi Dr. Cabral - so appreciative of all you do and share! I heard you mention testing for parasites with the stool test, but am wondering are there other ways you can or should test to find them elsewhere in the body? I'm working on figuring out the root cause of my symptoms and am wondering if parasite could be a cause even though it showed up negative in a stool test (done with a separate functional medicine doctor). Also could parasites cause bloating if they are elsewhere (not in the gut) from the body? I have a lot of symptoms but serious bloating being one of them. Lastly, if I am unable to confirm with tests and just do the parasite protocol, would I assume I had parasites if I start to feel some of my symptoms improve? Thank you!   Elizabeth: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently heard an episode where you answered a question about eczema from swimming in hot tubs. That has been my experience my whole life, whether it’s brominated, chlorinated, or salt pools. I’ve always been a swimmer but had to give it up in my twenties when I finally realized my eczema was getting worse every swim season and would then take a few months to heal, just in time for the new swim season to start. Since quitting swimming I have fully healed, but recently I started drinking goats milk after being mostly dairy free for over 10 years and I got a horrible eczema reaction. My question is this: I read everywhere that goats milk heals eczema, but why do you think it is making mine worse? Could the culprit be my liver & will I ever be able to eat dairy? Thank you!!   Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral. What are your thoughts on omega 3 oil from Calanus finmarchicus? I’ve found a product which I am curious to hear your thoughts on. Two pills contains the following: SDA 75 mg, EPA 73 mg, DHA 53 mg, Total omega 3 230 mg, Policosanol 263 mg, Ketolinic acid 29 mg, Astaxanthin 1700 ug and Vitamin D3 10ug. Could this be an alternative to "regular" omega 3 oil supplement? Thank you so much for you time and thoughts on this.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2900 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2899: Dry Skin & Non-Toxic Moisturizers, Antiaging Skincare, Antibiotics & Vaginal Microbiome, Caffeine Anhydrous, Cupping Therapy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Taran: Hi Dr. Cabral! You are amazing and I truly appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge with the world. I was diagnosed with ichthyosis vulgaris when I was born. I have had very dry skin since birth. It was a lot worse when I was younger. It is much better, however would still be classified as very dry for a normal person. I have to regularly apply moisturizers on my entire body at least 2x daily. Thanks to your recommendation , I discovered my moisturizer was toxic (7 on ewg skin deep) I have 2 questions: 1. Can I do anything from the inside to heal my skin in the long run rather than relying on moisturizers? 2. What is the best for applying topically on skin? Oils? Moisturizers?   Aleisha: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you so much for everything you do and your generosity and energy in this world. I know you don’t like to discuss specific brands on the podcast however I was wondering what your thoughts are on the ‘recovery’ formula from the ‘Osmosis Skincare’ Wellneas range. It says it can rebuild the fat pads lost with aging, I am 33 however due to a pretty intense health journey I have lost much of the volume in my fat pads and feel I look as if have aged dramatically and am considering giving this a go. The main basis of it is that it contains omegas 3,6,7 &9 from sea buckthorn fruit, oil & pulp and some macadamia oil. It is a very expensive product and the claim is that it takes 3 bottles to see changes and 7 bottles for best results. Is there an alternative to this you recommend?   Anouk: Hi there, Thanks for all the information you give out so generously. in July I tested pos. for ( ureaplasma, gardnerella, and candida alb) I took one round of doxy 7 days and a few months later I caught strep and re-tested for everything I still had the Urea +candida but I took clarithromycin for the strep. Of course all of these antibiotics were screwing up my vaginal microbiome.. I since have had a pap that came back HPV pos. ( LSIL) not sure if it the the stress of all of this but for the past few weeks i've had unbearable lower tailbone butt bone / pelvic floor aching and leg cramping, I can feel my vaginal muscles are almost in a permanent kegel and it's very hard to relax down there. Regardless of the pain i'd really like to do what I can to eradicate ALL of these things!   Glenn: What is the difference between caffeine and caffeine anhydrous as found in pre workout drinks and how bad is thus compound for the body. I’ve found info online on preworkouts and energy drinks but they all seem to revolve around the sugars/ artificial sweeteners in them rather than the other compounds. I enjoy taking these daily and found one that’s pretty clean and devoid of sugars so are these really that bad long term? Thank you   Noel: What is you opinion on cupping therapy? I am not talking about wet cupping but just regular cupping. I am a 67 year old female and like 50 lbs overweight so probably have metabolic syndrome so may be prone to heart issues, stroke. But I am most concerned about my kidneys. A few years back I was diagnosed with kidney failure, GFR was 11! Now it is over 60 for the last several years. I understand if there is toxic removal it would get removed through my kidneys ( and liver) and don’t want to overtax my kidneys. I am very active otherwise and don’t have any aches and pain anywhere. Would also love to minimize my cellulite.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2899 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

How much salt should I consume while recovering from adrenal fatigue? I understand it’s individual, however, can you give some general guidelines? For an example, how much salt did you consume to each meal when you had full-blown Addison's disease? I have listen to your podcast about salt. You recommend salt to taste, I appreciate that tips, but if I do so, it’s like there is no limit for me and I end up over-eating salt. I get puffy in the face, stiff muscles and feeling discomfort overall. Right now I’m eating a teaspoon to each meal. My body tolerates this amount okay. But I could easy eat 1 tablespoon each meal to satisfy my salt-cravings. However then I get the “salt over-eating” symptoms. Salt gives me so much energy! Have a great day!   Kelsey: Hello! I have tried many types of diets to help my constipation throughout the years- low fiber, high fiber, paleo, AIP. I have it when I’m just eating normal unhealthy foods and when my diet is super clean. I take magnesium daily. What else could I do to help this? What could be root cause? The only time I haven’t had this issue was when I was in France. I had bowel movements very regularly.   Jenna: If you had to choose 1 or 2 supplements to take that can help quiet fearful recurring thoughts what would that be? I really need help quieting my amygdala   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. What do you think about the Japanese detox patches? There’s a company called Bandoo that sells these foot patches that are supposed to pull toxins out of your body through the soles of your feet at night.. the patch could be very dark after the first night but then after 10 or so, it could be clear already.. could you please look into it if it really does any good? Thank you for your help, happy healing to everyone   Aleksandra: Dear teacher, can you please demystify it once for ever - oatmeal or no oatmeal? I know from the course that you are not necessarily against it, but m curious why some biohackers are againt it. Ptytic acid and glucose spike.... So client on weight loss should stay away from it i guess. But id like to hear more of your explanation to meke some kind of conclusion on it.

2892: Animal Protein & Liver Health, Bromelain & Hives, Sauna & Low Sodium & Potassium, Ear Pain, Melatonin & Fasting (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Stefanie: I am happy to have come so far with my health journey with your help, podcast and all the information you kindly give out to us, a big thank you! I have been able to control my psoriasis and overall skin problems. I've done a few detox, and the cbo protocol which helped me tremendously but I still see some signs of liver problems. I don't eat meat for the most part, but when I do specially meat from another country I notice my one psoriasis skin spot will start to flare and I do feel somewhat my liver swollen. I have been checked out before on sonograms and liver seems to be 'healthy', although I can cut animal protein. I wanted to know what test to perform or how can I fix this once and for all? I am certain its the animal protein, as soon as I eat it I feel the flare the next day.   Sheila: Hello,I’m on week 3 of CBO protocol. I just started week 3 and I started getting hives on my legs. One ingredient is bromelain in the Candida supplement. Bromelain is a “red” on my IGg food sensitivity test. Is there another product I could use instead of this one? Please advise. Thank you for your time. Sheila   Erica: If I have a 2 high 2 low pattern on my HTMA test, would you recommend infrared sauna 4-5x a week? I have high levels of mold in my body and I’d like to start working on detoxing it out, but it seems like my sodium and potassium and both quite low and I’m wondering if it’s a good idea. With that being said, if I did sauna that much a week, how much sodium / potassium might you recommend I take daily to replenish? Thank you!   Brittany: Hi Stephen, A few months back, I had strep and simultaneously coronavirus NL63. (Yay to school germs coming home from my kindergartner) during this diagnosis I went to the hospital because not only did I have bad congestion, but my ears were in so much pain I couldn’t even try to sleep. They treated me with meds for strep and ibuprofen for ear pain. The ear pain has improved since but 3 months later my ears still hurt on a daily basis, not excruciating, but enough to bother me during the day. I went to a ENT and he said it’s my TMJ. I’ve had TMJ and never had ear pain from it, it’s interesting that my ear pain only started when I had bad congestion from strep and the virus. My hearing test came back fine. Any clue why it could be that my ears still hurt? I’m desperate for help!    Daniel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Big fan of your show and thanks for all you do. I recently ordered your melatonin, I noticed that it includes Apple Juice, Red Currant, and Stevia. As someone who intermittently fasts multiple times a week, I'm wondering if taking Equilife Melatonin is breaking my fast due to these incredients? Thanks!

2886: Reactive Hypoglycemia, Postbiotic Supplements, Type 1 Von Willebrand's, THC-Infused Drinks, Longer Periods (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm an IHP2 OG, and loving how it expanded my practice to support others. Thank you for making that possible. I have a client who gets severe dizziness, brain fog and fatigue the day after she eats any sugar, starchy veggies, sugar, almonds to name a just a few. She can't even have the DNS. We did OAT, PCP extensive blood work, hormones and HTMA. No gut based issues on OAT and she does not experience any gut based symptoms. Her Insulin was 2.3 which was on the lower end and she has VERY high ferritin (250). Since working together she is starting to feel good in other areas, but this is one that lingers. I realize we do not treat, cure or diagnose - but I thought possible reactive hypoglycemia? I could not find any root causes for this and wanted to know your thoughts.   Laura: Hi Dr Cabral! I know you have shared your thoughts on fecal transplants before, but I could not find anything on Postbiotic Supplement. I realize you can't say the name, so basically the freeze dried feces supplement. I have a client who had another practitioner recommend this to her (She does not even experience any digestive destress). If someone had severe gut based issues, or auto immune like Ulcerative colitis or crohns and they still suffer after trying many things, do you think there is a time and place for this? Thank you!   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, my wife has lived with Type 1 Von Willebrands her whole life and has been given the traditional western medicine approach to manage it. I am curious if you have ever encountered this and what recommendations you would have, especially when it comes to pregnancy/child birth. That is not too far down the road for us and would like to have some basic knowledge from a functional medicine standpoint. Thank you!   Ria: Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC infused drinks are popping up everywhere. Are they safe? I worry about the unknowns of how these products are manufactured, plus the reported health issues and reactions. Thanks for all you do!   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! my cycle the last 6 months has been longer than usual (about 35-40 days) before it restarts. i only bleed for 3-4 days which is normal for me but days 25-35, i’m holding a lot of water, sweating at night, etc. i’m waiting to purchase the stress mood & metabolism test until im done with the CBO protocol -there anything i can do about this in the meantime?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Gabrielle: Hi Stephen! I am currently enrolled in your IHP1 and IHP2 certification course. I am LOVING it! I have a request for a HouseCall Podcast topic please. I have been on oral contraceptive birth control for 7 years now. I know I need to get off of it and soon, before my wellbeing takes any more of a hit. What do you recommend in terms of herbal supplements and naturopathic protocols to ease my body back into it's natural rythmn once I stop taking the pills? Last year I took a 9 month break from birth control and did not have my normal cycle return, I also experienced hormonal acne in this transition period as well. I consider myself a very healthy person and I integrate naturopathic healing into my life. You may already have an episode on this topic, so if I am missing that- I apologize!   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I’m wondering if active dry yeast is an ok ingredient to use for baking? And why not or why it is? Also, do you think nutritional yeast is ok if you’re from Europe or is it not healthy to consume it everywhere? (If it’s got MSG in Europe too, you think?) Thank you so much for your work, happy healing everyone.   Joyce: I have a frozen big toe on my left foot. Can you give me some causes?   Jessica: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been experiencing headaches and neck aches regularly, at their worst upon waking up every morning. the neurologist gave me migraine pills, the ENT did a balloon sinoplasty in my early 20’s, but the issue persists. Ive tried regular massages, and I’ve been seeing a chiropractor for the last year or so. while seems to help, it is not a resolution to my pain and discomfort. I’m so tired of nobody knowing what’s going on. Any idea why my occipital region is giving me so much grief? I’d be so grateful to get to the root of the issue. Thank you so much for your insight   Audrey: Hi Dr Cabral, Can you please do a Friday review on the Life Wave X39 patch? It’s a patch you wear on the back one your neck that uses your body heat to activate light to regenerate your stem cells. the scientific research behind it seems to be very credible, however I trust your opinion above all others.

2879: Berkey Vs. AquaTru, Tapioca Starch Substitute, Recover from Group B Strep, Animal Protein & Nutrient Absorption, Increase Vitamin D Levels, Protein Shake (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I noticed on your resource page you do not have the Berky water filter listed anymore. Instead you have the Aqua True listed. Why is that? It seems like the Berky is a better choice because it is stainless steal and vs. the Aqua Tru that has a plastic carafe which would lead to leaching. Thanks so much for all you do!   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. In baking recipes there’s often tapioca starch or cornstarch.. same with gluten free flours.. If I wanted to substitute those in recipes (or make my own gluten free flour in a healthier way), what would be good substit utes? Are arrowroot powder and cassava flour good, healthier options? As per my (Google) research, they are not interchangeable - don’t have the same effect.. do you have any suggestions? What does your family usually use in baking? Thank you and happy healing, everyone..    Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral- is it possible to heal group B strep? If so, what are the ways to do this? Thank you!   Desiree: I’ve been told that our bodies more efficiently absorb animal nutrients and protein; and these nutritionists have references and studies to support this. Of course all of these people agree on getting your animal products from grass fed/finished, non gmo, no hormones, pasture raised farms. People also discuss anti-nutrients in vegetables (which I know can be greatly reduced with cooking). They urge people to use animal fats to cook with due to the low chance of oxidation and that saturated fats have been unfairly demonized. With meat being one of the most nutrient dense foods one can eat when properly sourced. I suppose my question is, is there validity to a diet that is more meat/animal centered? Also what are your thoughts on absorption and anti-nutrients in vegetables vs meat.   Steve: I have chronically low vitamin D levels. I also have crohns disease which contributes to the low D along with low iron, b-12 and some other lab red flags. I have very high inflammation labels from both CRP and fecal calprotectin tests. I had been taking 10,000 i.u.'s of D for a long time and my D level on my most recent test was 23. I also live in arizona and get quite a bit of sun. I have started taking 25,000 i.u's a day of D (along with K2) to see if that will be enough to get my D level up. I really hate to go much higher than that, but I might have to. I am starting to believe that I will never get my inflammation markers down if I dont get my D up     Desiree: I was wondering if you could do a product review on fairlife nutrition plan 30g protein shake. I also have a question about milk and dairy. I know you have an entire podcast on how it’s essential to cut out dairy from cows but I’m hoping as long as you get high quality dairy if that makes a difference? I’m a bit of a milk fiend and cutting it out of my diet fills me with sadness. Thank you for everything you do! I just read your book and it’s truly eye opening and I’m recommending it to everyone I know.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2879 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2872: Proper Way to Brew Tea, Calcium & Pregnancy, Sensitivity to Herbs, Teeth Grinding, Urolithin A, Absorbing Supplements Without Gallbladder (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Anonymous: Hi, dr. C I’m interested in how to brew herbal teas properly. How long for each herb, and also can they be steeped for longer or even twice or three times? Or do they keep their medicinal properties only the first time and after they are just flavouring the water? What temperatures for each herb? What about cold steeping? Anything and everything about how to properly make herbal tea to reap maximum benefits. Thank you so much, have a great week   Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral Do you recommend calcium Supplementation in pregnancy for a woman who does not consume dairy, or recommend it at all ? What are your overall thoughts with calcium in pregnancy? Many thanks Joanna   Nana: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks for your ongoing support. I did the CBO protocol but couldnt get through the candida month. I got extremely inflammed because i am sensitive to herbs (due to salicylate sensitivity). I tried titrating but nothing worked. Even like a sprinkle of herb gets my gut super inflammed in my gut. I instead focused on the CBO diet, probiotics, and daily multivitamin but i just feel even more sensitive to herbs lately. i am currently taking l glutamine to seal my gut and even though it helps, i think all the inflammation from when i accidentally have salicylates throws me off and makes it hard to seal my gut. So far I have tried glycine to help me detox better but it hasnt helped much. i tried the cabral detox as well but it got me super inflammed. any guidance?   Ryan: First of all, thanks for all that you do in sharing all of your years of knowledge and wisdom with all of us to help expedite our health journeys. I have two questions, first, I have a six year old daughter, she is always happy, does great in school and eats fairly well but when it comes to her sleep she tosses and turns and grinds her teeth constantly all night long, do you have any thoughts or ideas on any deficiencies or toxicities that would cause this or any other suggestions? My second question is what are your thoughts on urolithin A? I see a lot of promising claims but I was wondering if you have any experience. Where it would rank in the hierarchy of supplements? If everything else is dialed would it be worth taking? Maybe take it a month or two a year? Thanks again!   Katie: Hi Dr Cabral, Could you please give me some advice on how best to absorb fat soluble vitamins without a gallbladder. Also how can I optimise my digestion as I think I have low stomach acid and low digestive enzymes as I'm very bloated all the time.

2871: Herbs for Prostate, Electrical Muscle Stimulation Preventing Dandruff, DIM & Prostate, Vegan Omega 3 Oil (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Ed: Hi Dr Cabral, For those of us males over 40 years of age, who have prostate enlargement, apart from saw palmetto, do you recommend or know of any Chinese medicine or Chinese herbs that help treat this condition better than saw palmetto or western medicine? Is it possible to shrink the prostate back to normal size with these herbs, in combination with a healthy diet of whole based foods? Thank you for your guidance in advance. Ed PS. Is it true that Red Maca root reduces prostate size, as it did in rats, in one study   Greg: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all that you do. I listen to your podcasts daily and I have learned so much. What are your thoughts on Electrical Muscle Stimulation? Where they use electrodes to contract muscles at a rapid rate to get the effects of a longer workout in minutes. I would love to hear your insight on if you think this is beneficial and would recommend it. Thank you Greg   Ed: Dear Dr Cabral, Thanks for the great information and help you are providing people out there. I have been dealing with dandruff since childhood and now I’m in my 40’s and still struggle with it. Both my mother and brother don’t have dandruff, but my father and grand mother on my mother’s side also struggled with it. Does that mean its genetic? Though using Head and Shoulders shampoo helps, I hate using it because of the vast chemicals it has. I get build up on my scalp, if I don’t use some kind of anti-dandruff shampoo. I have tried to limit sugars and processed foods, but dandruff and build up still occurs, though at a slower rate. Are there vitamins/minerals to help prevent dandruff from re-occurring or is it genetic? Thank you for your time and help. Ed   Ed: Hi Dr Cabral, I came across your great and helpful information from mind-pump podcasts. Thank you. Does DIM power help reduce prostate size, like Saw Palmetto? My elderly mother has osteoporosis, is it true that Maca root helps with this condition as well? Thanks in advance. Ed   Lara: Hi, dr. C! I have a question about vegan Omega3 oil.. It contains 609mg EPA and 1158mg of DHA and 157mg of DPA.. is that a good ratio for a vegan Omega oil? We were checking the ratio of EQUILIFE’s (non-vegan) and there’s more EPA than DHA.. but they also contain sunflower oil? How come?

2865: Best Foods to Eat, Bumps in Eyelids, Multiple Exposure Allergic Reaction, Chronic Throat Pain, Dyshidrotic Eczema (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Marina: Hi Dr Cabral, There is so much confusing information out there about the foods to eat. Eat meat, don’t eat meat it causes health issues, eat more plants, don’t eat plants they are trying to kill you! I listen to vegetarian community and they make good arguments, I listen to carnivores and they make good arguments. What do we do?! Is golden middle the best? Some say the more variety of foods the better, others say there is no evidence. All you need is meat and fermented foods. Please share your thoughts.   Tonya: Hi Dr. Cabral. A few months ago my eye was swollen and then it was like I had a bump that moved in my upper eyelid and then it turned to a bruise and disappeared. A couple weeks later my other eye did this. And then again only this time it never bruised and the bump never went away and now I have 3 bumps in my left eyelid. They do not hurt at all. What could this possibly be from and how can I get rid of it? It has been a couple months now. Thank you   Page: Dear Dr. Cabral, My husband just experienced a severe allergic reaction to a fire ant bit that sent him into anaphylactic shock. While we were in the ER, I kept wondering if there was an underlying cause spurred this response. He has been bit before and never reacted in this way. We were told that subsequent bites/stings could lead to a more intense reaction. Is there anything we can do to reduce the body’s response outside of carrying the epipen and being equipped with Benadryl? Thank you for your guidance.   Kavita: I just want to share that I am obsessed with your research and knowledge and listen to your podcasts. My daughter is 22 and she has been suffering from pain in her throat for the past 5-6 months. The doctors are unable to diagnose the issue. She has already been on antibiotics twice, and the pain goes away for a while but comes right back The ENT specialist told her that her tonsils might be inflamed and gave her antibiotics last month, which took care of the issue for a bit, but her pain is back again!!! She is so frustrated. She had asthma as a child and takes her maintenance medication for it daily, singular (5mg), and is on Allegra for her allergies. I am wondering whether these can be stopped as she has not had any episodes of asthma for a while. Any help will be appreciated.   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! As an IHP2 it is very hard dealing with our own personal health issues and feeling like there are no answers. I have been getting a blister like rash on different fingers for the last year. There was a few month gap where it did not happen. I cannot pinpoint a trigger. I did the CBO last year as an attempt to resolve it. I have researched and it could possibly be Dyshidrotic Eczema but I also get nerve pain with it. I also have HSVII and wondering if this is just moving throughout my body. I cannot afford lab work right now. I have done a HM detox + parasite detox + CBO and I do FM detoxes. I have done the entire virus protocol more than once, prior to having this rash. My main concern is what damage is this doing to my body if it is viral? What would you do to resolve?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2865 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2864: Help For Sleep, Grounding Bed Sheets, Exercise with PCOS, Blue-Light Filter For TV, Mammogram vs. Sonogram (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Marina: Hi Dr Cabral, I’m after some help for my sleep. I fall asleep easily around 9-9:30 but wake up 2-3am unable to fall asleep. I do know that my cortisol is super high all day. I have cut back on intense exercise, 1 espresso a day around 10am, meditation 15-20 min a day, breathing 5-10 min a day. I’m not noticing positive effects. I’m stuck in sympathetic mode. Any tips? Thank you   Meghan: Hey Dr C, firstly sharing in total gratitude for you, your passion, dedication and genuine care for your community. Thank you for all you do. My question today that I couldn’t find when searched was about grounding bed sheets. Grounding is a hot topic but in modern lifestyle it’s always easy to spend time barefoot in the grass each day and it makes sense to me to be able to be grounded for the duration of sleep to advance healing (so long as they are a low emf product of course). There are different types some you plug in and others you don’t. Wanted to get your thoughts on whether there is any real science behind grounding bed sheets? I have also seen the grounding mats for office use that may be helpful as well. Thanks again. Keep on shining your light.   Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral. Could you please detail what is the best workout for women with PCOS and the best time of the day to exercise to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce cortisol, inflammation and testosterone? I am 29 and have lean PCOS. I heard that I should avoid exercise that increases my cortisol, for example, HIIT/Crossfit/anything that increases my heart rate too much. My PCP also recommended I stop lifting heavy weights, she said this could increase my testosterone. Could I keep lifting heavy just as long as I slow down and give myself enough time to keep my heart rate low and steady? I don’t want to give up my “gains”! I don’t need crazy exercise classes, but I don’t want to restrict myself to only do yoga, walking, or very light weight training. Please help! Thank you!   Carol Ann: Thank you for helping us with your podcasts. I have learned so much. I would like your advice as to which blue light blocking filters for TV to buy. They are widely available now, even on Amazon, but I need help sorting through which really helps, for their value. I am working on improving sleep with blue light blocking, as blue light can prevent melatonin from being produced. Thank you   Carol Ann: Hi Dr C, Thank you for teaching me health care info with your podcasts. You have made a real impact. I have a breast cancer screening question. For many years, mammograms were recommended, where radiation is used to make an image to screen for breast tumors. Now, there's a movement to use sonograms to screen the breasts instead. This seems like a safer plan, but I can't find any studies comparing these options. One company that uses this is HerScan. Is this reasonable or a bad plan?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2864 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2858: IV Iron Infusions, Seasoning Cast Iron Pan, EMFs in Bedroom, Regular Colonics, Fasting & Kidney Health (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Julia: Hi Dr Cabral, I looked into past podcast episodes and couldn't find the information I was looking for. What is your opinion on IV iron infusions using Ferric carboxymaltose? My iron and ferritin levels have been low for years and my doctor recommended it to me. Thank you   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I hope you and your family are doing well.. My question is about seasoning the cast iron pan.. we found lots of videos on HOW to do it (they differ but all in all I guess you need to bake the oil into it many times in the oven) but which oil to use? Some say flaxseed, because of its polymerisation properties, others say of course not flax because it becomes toxic when heated.. some say olive oil, others are strongly against it.. so we need your help! ;) You are our favourite source of information! How would you do it? And please don’t say lard, because I’m plant-based.. If you could explain the whole procedure that you think is best, that would be a bonus :) Thank you so much, and a great day to everyone !   Anonymous: Hello I have a question about EMFs in the bedroom… We live in a house with different flats… the main wifi router in in the staircase, underneath our bedroom and it’s for all tenants… we also have a built in fridge on the other side of the bedroom wall… how can we protect our bedroom from these EMFs? Also, there’s a cupboard for food storage touching the fridge from the side… is that also bad for the food that’s inside that cupboard? Thank you   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral, thanks for all you do! i get colonics monthly and just wanted to get your opinion on the frequency. is that okay/safe to do?   Autumn: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I hope you can help. Is time restricted feeding beneficial in slowing progression of chronic kidney disease? I & two of my 3 children have just recently tested positive for the non-sex linked Alport syndrome. I already practice the IF 16:8 protocol, but wonder if a weekly 24-hour fast might be beneficial. I've listened to your podcasts on kidney health. Good stuff! My most recent labs (UA and blood) have come back clean for the first time since I was 12. (no protein, blood, leukocytes). For the last 2 years I've been practicing whole food nutrition, intermittent fasting, 3 days of strength training & 2 days of HIIT. My body's responding well. I'm curious how IF factors in. *FYI 137 pound female. 5' 7".

2857: Hungry After Breakfast, Best Time to Eat Fruit, Pelvic Pain Root Cause, Walking After Eating, Natural Alternatives for Narcolepsy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous:  Hi, dr. C. I live in Europe so it’s difficult to get your DNS powder because of expensive shipping.. so my smoothies are full of berries, apples, bananas, avocado, steamed/cooked veggies (peas, broccoli, carrot, etc.) and herbs and spices.. I don’t add any extra protein powders, hopefully the veggies, especially peas provide enough? But lately I’ve been more into oatmeal with blueberries & raspberries, a mashed banana, some bee pollen and a steamed apple.. sometimes some papaya gets in there too.. then I add A LOT of hemp seeds, probably at least 3 heaping tablespoons of it - is that too much & is it enough in terms of protein intake? I have a huge bowl of it, mostly it’s the fruit and hempseeds with just a little bit of oatmeal.. But I don’t think that breakfast keeps me full for long (neither does the smoothie) and after I get hungry, it’s so fast that I start shaking & need to eat something straight away.. I even got hot flashes and dizzy two weeks ago instead of just getting hungry.. What am I doing wrong and how would you correct it? I guess it also has something to do with me not eating breakfast soon after I wake up? I drink a litre of lemon water (is that too much ?) and then do some tinctures so it takes me a while before I get to eat breakfast.. Thank you so much for your help, have a great day   Anonymous: Hello… I’ve been listening to your podcasts and wondering, what is the best way to eat fruit and when? I find it a bit confusing… Should it be before anything else or does that spike your blood sugar? If protein should be a part of every meal, but fruit eaten on its own… doesn’t make sense? In a smoothie it can be mixed with everything else, but what if you just enjoy eating a lot of fruit on its own? What time of the day, when, considering other meals, etc..? Thank you   Alexandra: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm an IHP Level 2 and very grateful for all the work you've done and the information you've provided. I've had a lot of equilife lab testing done. I've come back high in heavy metals - mercury (0.110) and aluminum (0.79). I've gone through a heavy metal detox and am actively continuing to detox through sauna and Epsom salt baths. My concern is that I'm a 28 y.o. female and have very bad pelvic pain that used to occur only before menstruation. It now occurs at other times of the month and has become quite limiting. I've been referred to a GYN surgeon who would like me to have exploratory surgery to address possible endometriosis. I know there must be another natural way to address the root cause of this. I prefer to avoid surgery. I would love any recommendations you have.   Colleen: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. Every time you do, it helps me in some way no matter the subject, and I'm sure the same is true for many others as well. I had a question about walking after a meal. If someone has weak digestion, would it be better to walk after eating or to rest and let the blood flow to the stomach? I'd think it'd be best to rest, but everywhere I turn, it seems the advice is that the best thing to do is walk after a meal to help with digestion. If so, how long should someone wait after a meal to go for a walk without getting out of the relaxed PNS state. (On ep. 1639 you mentioned 10-20 mins after a meal, just checking if that still applies if you have very weak digestion). Thank you again, hope this makes sense.   Ali: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am currently in the process of becoming IHP level 1 & 2 certified and am so grateful for all the resources and education you provide through these courses. After learning about all the conditions and disorders we are able to help with diet, nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle changes, I was wondering if you have done any research on Narcolepsy and natural alternatives that could help. I am 25 years old and was diagnosed with Narcolepsy when I was 20. I am on the highest dosage of stimulants you can be just to get through the day feeling 'normal'. I am terrified of the long term effects this will have myself and others with Narcolepsy. Thanks in advance for even answering this question, have a wonderful rest of your week!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2857 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2851: Supplementing with T2, Calcium Carbonate Safety, Borax as Biofilm Disruptor, Rapid Heart Rate & Alcohol, Bladderwrack (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Kim: Long time client of your IHPs. I have done a ton of work and made overall improvements in my health. However i work with a functional medical doctor to manage my hashimotos. Diagnosed age 14 currently 48. Been on your thyroid support protocol. What are your thoughts on adding t2? I'm currently on a combination of 137 Tirosent and 5mcg cytomel. I'm a non converter of t4 to t3 (high reverse t3 always). Did stress protocols etc work on sleeping which helps. Ironically my dr has never heard of supplementing with t2!!   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a question regarding Calcium Carbonate. I heard in podcast 1177 that you do not recommend this form of Calcium, yet I noticed that it's in the Alkalizing Vitamin C powder. Can you please elaborate on whether it is safe to take it in this supplement or not? Thanks   Kristin: Hi, Thank you for all of your education! I know there is a lot of information out there. I appreciate how your natural health recommendations are backed by evidence for their safety and effectiveness! I am hearing about ingesting Borax in small dosages mixed with water as a method of rebalancing toxicities including boron mineral deficiency, supporting with Candida bacterial overgrowth and heavy metal detoxing amongst others. My understanding is it also acts as a biofilm disruptor. Are you familiar with this practice and what are your thoughts about the safety and effectiveness of this practice? Is there a place for borax in a rebalancing protocol? Thank you!   Inga: Thank you Dr. Cabral for all your help and knowledge. I listen to your podcast all the time! So I have been having a more rapid heart rate when I drink alcohol. It started a year ago and would happen when I had a stronger drink or later in the night. Now it’s happening every time I have a drink no matter the time or the percent of alcohol.. I have usually a drink or two on the weekends. I have currently stopped drinking. I’m fairly healthy, I work out 5 days a week. I eat lots of vegetables and good protein. I try to not eat a lot of sugar and have a cup of coffee a day .. both of my grand mothers had pacemaker so the rapid heart rate scares me .. any thoughts you have on this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your knowledge and kindness   Scott: Hello Dr. Cabral! I had a question about bladderwrack. I first heard about it on the 'Survivorman' show when he was in surviving in Alaska. It was said that it had many nutrients and protein in it. I was wondering if you had any knowledge of it and or experience in any of the internships you were in? I see that there are some supplements online. I tend to be a google-skeptic when reading about these supplements, the good, and their side effects. Could too much bladderwrack overload you with heavy metals since it comes from the sea? I trust your knowledge and experience above all. Thanks for all that you do…Ayubowan!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2851 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2850: Dysautonomia & Spinal Issues, Recurring Vaginal Yeast Infections, Stevia & Fertility Concerns, Hypothyroidism to Hyperthyroidism, Waking up Hungry (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Stacy: Hi Dr. Cabral I hope you are having a Blessed day . I have dysautonomia/POTS . I did the Big 5 and other labs over year and half ago . Worked with a coach , did several protocols ect . I. Have improved some but the sensory overload/ SEVERE Anxiety is still there . It’s even stopped me from attending church and social events. I feel as though I’ll have a seizure due to the over stimulation. I’ve exhausted all avenues besides SSRIs and my spinal issues from an ATV accident where I landed on head & neck . I have lots of issues with it but terrified to have my neck adjusted due to strokes that can occur . Do you think the dysautonomia could be from my cervical spine ? I’m at a loss of what to do besides possible surgery or SSRIs and I really don’t want to do either but I’ve been suffering long   Annalize: I'm a healthy 47-year-old woman 6.0 ft tall 165 lb. I've struggled with recurrent vaginal yeast infections since high school, trying various treatments. I worked with a Clinical Nutritionist, adopting a paleo diet, my Candida tests were negative, and the infections persisted. I completed the Functional Medicine Detox and CBO protocol. My daily routine includes Fruit and Vegetable blend and Daily Nutritional Support, along with a healthy diet and lifestyle choices. We've been married 23 years, no STDs, 3 children. I'm open to any recommended tests or changes to my routine, as this ongoing issue is becoming increasingly frustrating. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!   Lindsay: Hello, Does stevia cause fertility problems? An influencer recently posted something along the lines of tribes used to use it as birth control?!   Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope you are doing well and having a great day. Two years ago my blood work showed I had Hashimoto and hypothyroidism. I listen to your podcasts, I took your course about Thyroid, I implemented now foods to my diet, did heavy metal detox, made some changes and have been doing all the right things. My TSH numbers went lower over time, then fell into a healthy range, but my last labs showed my TSH being very low, it went down to 0.3. Does that mean that I went from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism? Also my anty-TPO are ok (very low) but I have still elevated anty-TG. What does that indicate now? Do I still have Hashimoto or is it Graves now? Thank you in advanced for clarifying that for me. You always are a big help!   Conny: Hi Doctor Cabral, Thanks so much for all the wonderful work you're doing. You've truly changed my life with all the great health information. I have a question about waking up hungry at 4am. I think it might be low blood sugar, because I do circadian fasting and my last meal is around 3 or 4pm. Is there anything I can take before bed to stabilize my blood sugar without breaking my fast? Thanks so much!

2844: Low Dose Cialis, Lymphatic Drainage Technique, Fasting & Nose Sores, Patulous Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, Healthy Hormone Levels (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. What are your thoughts on recommendations for men to take low doses of Cialis daily? I'm seeing it recommended in the health and fitness sphere by different people in the know including Dr Andrew Huberman, Dr Rena Malek, Jay Ferruggia etc. There are claims of it helping with overall physical fitness/performance, heart health etc. Any drawbacks or is it something you definitely do not recommend.   Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - I wanted to ask if you can provide the correct technique to use for lymphatic drainage using a dry brush on your body and a gua sha tool on your face and neck. Many people on YouTube say different things regarding technique and I’m not sure what to follow. I know in the Rain Barrel Effect it says to lead the strokes for dry brushing to your heart but a video I found from a certified Lymphodema physical therapist said to direct strokes to your lymph nodes (such as toward your arm pits) as opposed to just the heart. What are your thoughts? I just want to be sure I’m doing it as effectively as possible. Any tips for gua sha for face and neck would be great as well. Also, is using the dry brush safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding? Thank you so much!   Elizabeth: Hi, Dr. Cabral! I have suffered from dry nose sores for years (literally years!). There have been a couple of times when I had staph infection so bad in my nose that it felt like somebody had punched me! The ONLY time that the sores went away was when I had covid (plus a few weeks after). Because they went away when I had covid, I thought it had something to do with immunity. HOWEVER, I am happy to report that ever since I have been fasting for at least 12 hours/day (and nearly immediately since I have started fasting), the nose sores are COMPLETELY gone. After YEARS of struggling day-in-and-day-out, they are now GONE! Can you please explain why fasting has had such a positive effect? I can't tell you how grateful I am to not have to deal with the discomfort anymore.   Dana: Hi Dr. Cabral, I asked in the Facebook group for resources on Patulous Eustachian tube dysfunction and it looks like you’ve never done a podcast on it before. I’ve been dealing with this most of my life and am curious if you have any information and insight on it. I know it can be triggered by exercise and weight loss, both of which I’ve experienced. I have learned to deal with it but it is inconvenient so I wanted to ask about it. Thanks!   Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabal, I first want to say thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge. It has really helped me on my health journey and I have gained valuable knowledge from your podcasts. My question is regrading estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. What are the true healthy level ranges in females and males? I feel like you spoke about this before but for the life of me cannot find that podcast. I appreciate your help.

2843: Chemical Odor in Breath, Preventing Group B Strep, Liver Enzymes Post Detox, Intestinal Pain & Tongue Health (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I love the supplements from equilife and have several of them. They are great and there arent many other brands I would trust over it. I do have a concern regarding the DFV & DNS Shake supplements. I've noticed that the day after taking them, I get a strange and off putting chemical odor in my breath, urine and stools. It's more pronounced in the DNS shake, and seems to become more noticeable if taken on consecutive days. I would like to participate in the 7 day detoxes, but have paused those due to this issue. What do you think could be going on? The only other thing I can add is that I seem to have chronic upper abdominal discomfort that seems to line up with gastritis or delayed emptying symptoms. Thanks   Ally: I’m currently pregnant and expected due date is 12/12. I have a history of being GBS positive at delivery and my OB would not allow me to do a vaginal swab at delivery. All of my babies have been breech, hence requiring a c-section. I’m anticipating another, repeat c-section since my OB won’t let me try a vbac after three c-sections. My question is there anything I can do to help be preventative of GBS when tested? I was GBS negative at 13 weeks and they retest around 32-36 weeks. Thank you.   Gail: Hi Dr. Cabral- I listen to your podcasts daily and appreciate all you do to graciously help so many. My question is this: I did the 7-day detox and had fabulous results with diminished bloating, mental clarity, and quality sleep. If I felt this great after the 7-day, I cannot wait to see what the 21-day will bring. I'm reluctant, and scared to go forward though because my liver enymes were normal pre-detox, but my AST and ALT QUADRUPLED post detox (drawn 2-3 months post) and took 8 months to return to normal. My PCP was so concerned that she ordered an ultrasound, then a CT scan with contrast of my liver which was completely normal. Dr. Cabral why do you think this happened, and can I safely do a 21-day? Thanks a million!!    Colleen: Hi Dr. Cabral! Seemingly out of the blue I’ve gotten very sick. It started with severe constipation & then the only thing coming out were clots of blood followed by pain in my intestines. I’ve started the Intestinal Cleanse which is helping a lot. But looking at my tongue is concerning me as well. I have a Pitta/Vata body type but my tongue has a white/yellow coating that won’t go away, a deep crack down the middle, red dots all over, & a metallic taste in my mouth. I’ve no energy & am barely eating due to nausea. I listened to your pod on what your tongue says about your health & will be doing a 7 Day Liver Detox & the CBO Protocol. Is there anything I’m missing? I’m running the Complete Stress lab to hopefully get more answers. I appreciate all that you do for this community.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2843 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2837: Collagen & Building Muscle, Serotonin & Gut Health, Stress & Fasted Workout, How to Avoid Repopulating Candida, Digesting Protein, Rash Around Eyes (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Robin: Hey doctor Cabral! I hope you're having an amazing day! A quick question: does collagen also help build your muscles, or is it purely for the bone/skin tissue? Thank you!   Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, How would you advise someone who is experiencing what seems like serotonin issues due to gut problems like IBS or SIBO? I'm have a chronic gut issue that with symptoms that range from gastritis, IBS or SIBO. I'm experiencing symptoms akin to SSRI withdrawals that include brain zaps. At times, it can also feel as if I'm in an elevator or having a sudden feeling of "dropping" in my brain. It feels more like syncope issues or something similar to serotonin syndrome. I dont believe this is an ear issue as I have done the epley maneuver and it doesnt quite line up with vertigo issues. I have done the CBO 1st month protocol twice, Adrenal Sooth, Full Spectrum Mag. and Healthy Belly. I find that certain foods like beans can make it much worse. I havent done stool tests yet.   Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I do a 12 hr fast every night starting at 6pm. I would like to do a 14hr fast. However, I get up every morning at 4:30am to workout at F45, this is the only time of day I can work out. Will I be putting my body under more stress by holding off on eating until 8am? If I test my blood sugar after working out and it’s elevated, does it matter at that point if I hold off on eating? Thanks so much!   Karen: I was able to treat a Candida infection using a combination of your CBO protocol, homemade kefir and other fermented foods, and a low sugar diet. I want to do whatever I can to avoid repopulation with Candida and recently read about opening 1 capsule of saccromyces boulardii into a jar of no-sugar added juice, allowing it to ferment for 36 hours and then ingesting 1 ounce, two-three times a day (the theory being that you get a much higher population of the s. boulardii than you would just by taking it in capsule form). This definitely results in a juice that has a slight taste of alcohol. My question is whether you think the benefits of this high population of s. boulardii offset the potential downsides of ingesting sugar and alcohol from 2-3 ounces of this juice each day?   Karen: Thanks so much for being such a trusted resource for the questions of so many people - it is SO appreciated! Some genetic testing suggests that I may not be able to properly digest protein. To help with this, I take digestive enzymes with meals containing protein. However, my biggest protein meal of the day is a smoothie I make using bone broth, collagen powder, and hydrolyzed beef powder. Is there a benefit to taking digestive enzymes with my protein-based smoothie as well?   Anonymous: Thank you for all you do :) My friends 6 year old daughter has developed some kind of pink/red rash around her eyes over the last 12-18 months. They did the OAT test around the time it started, but it did not indicate candida or any other gut imbalances. However, do suspect its related to the gut due to occasional constipation/tummy upset and the link to skin. The issue never really goes away but it does get more red/aggravated in the heat and when she is active. Another FM doctor thought it might be eczema? Have tried creams but no permanent relief. Doesn't itch her or bother her. Have also tried cortisone which seems to help slightly... any thoughts?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2837 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2836: Overall Dryness, Foam in Urine, Weight Loss & Stress, Supplements & Multi-Vitamin, Protein Powder & Iron (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Carl: Thank you for the tremendous service that you provide, Dr Cabral. I have been dealing with an overall dry body. Dry palms, feet, face, etc. When I urinate it is always high volume. No matter how much I drink, my urine is borderline dark yellow. I'm dealing with a long term Candida issue. I did the big five a year ago and my T4 was fine, T3 was low. My body is buzzing all the time and feels stressed to the max. .. A certified mess. I have tried the thyroid and both adrenal supplements. I currently take DNS, greens powder and Omega3. Any thoughts would be appreciated.   Roman: Hey Dr. Cabral! I listened to your "What your pee says about your health" podcast. There was no mention of "foamy or bubbles" in pee. I've had this issue for a long time. It doesn't happen with every pee but most pees will bubbles (sometimes more, sometimes less). I mentioned this to my Doctor who shrugged it off as "probably something you ate". I did protein-strip tests but they were negative. I'm a generally healthy 39 year old male with a healthy diet and lifestyle. I did test positive for candida overgrowth in my gut. Could this have anything to do with my issue? If not, what could it be? PS: I will be starting a your limited yeast protocol in a few weeks. Thanks so much for answering my question :   Cindy: Hi doctor Cabral, I eat very healthy diet and exercise 6 days a week (weight lifting and walking). I also do 16:8 fast every day. I have noticed that my weight is increasing, especially around the abdomen. I checked my hormones, and found out that my thyroid is on a low side and my estrogen and progesterone too. I’m 47, so I feel that’s normal. My cortisol is slightly increased too. I really want to lose some weight, especially around the middle. What would you suggest? How do I find out what’s stressing my body? How do I know of it’s the fast or something else? Thanks so much for you answer - I really appreciate your help.   Mirella: Hi doctor Cabral, generally speaking - do you need to take on extra vitamins and minerals if you are already using a multivitamin that contains RDA of all the main micronutrients that you need? Thank you kindly for your answer   Marina: Hi Dr Cabral, Every time I include Protein Powder into my daily routine, whether it is Whey or Vegan, my iron saturation always goes up too much to around 50%, if I exclude it for a month or so, it drops back to 25-30%. Why could it be? I understand that Vegan might have this effect due to vegan iron sources etc, but not sure why Whey WPI would have the same affect?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2836 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2830: Balancing Physically Demanding Job, Low IgG and IgM, Reaction to Chlorella, Dysfunctional Ileocecal Valve, Liver & Gallbladder Flush & Ileocecal Valve (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   John: Hello! Thank you so much for all the great teaching and helpful and healing information I’ve been listening for a couple years now and find your approach very balanced and inspiring! I am 37 years old 6’2 and weigh around 213lbs. I work my own business doing drywal work and wear a Fitbit that says I am usually doing around 20k steps a day. I just started the fatlossity program and I’m excited to see what it can do! I am wondering with such a physical labor job what is the balance to working out and resting? And what kind of macros such as protein grams should be my goal? According to my RenPho scale my body fat is 29%! BMR 1815, BMI 26.9, muscle mass 140lbs and has been for some consistent time. How do I loose the body fat and gain muscle while working so hard every day   Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral, my IgG and IgM are low. Are there common reasons for this? I recently did your minerals & metals test and it said I have elevated levels of aluminum (.51) and mercury (.01). Could this be contributing? Does being pregnant affect the minerals results of this test at all? Also, I have mild Scoliosis and was wondering if you knew of any internal side effects that are common for people who deal with this condition? Could this be contributing to the low immune system issue? I am also wondering if there is anything I can do to excrete excess estrogen while pregnant or breastfeeding? I got melasma with my last pregnancy and breastfed for 21 months…my melasma has gotten progressively worse. I know there’s not a lot you can do to detox when pregnant. Thanks!   Hannah: Hi, Dr. Cabral! You’re truly a life saver. With more space in the description, I’d go on to say more but you and your team truly saved my life and I’m forever grateful….here’s my question- I’ve tried your heavy metal detox but I always have reactions to the large amount of chlorella. I can have some in the DFVB but the heavy metal detox sets me over the edge. All of your protocols are absolutely amazing but sadly I need a replacement for a heavy metal detox that doesn’t use chlorella, or at least smaller amounts. Does the Coseva Advanced TRS work as well as advertised? If you don’t recommend that one, is there any others you would suggest? Thank you so much!   Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, what would you recommend for a dysfunctional ileocecal valve? I seem to have occasional pain or pressure on my lower right quadrant. Ileocecal release maneuvers and heated castor oil packs (which i use with dmso cream) seems to help relieve pain there,. I have been diagnosed with dyspepsia by my GI, and I seem to have SIBO-like symptoms. I have tried the CBO protocol but I still seem quite a bit of stomach pain and difficulties, especially if I eat the wrong foods. I should mention that I had a Parathyroidectomy about 2 months ago if thats relevant. Is there anything you can suggest or would this require some surgery? Thanks   Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, I wrote in yesterday regarding a dysfunctional ileocecal valve with pain and possible sibo/gi issues caused by it. I had forgotten to ask if a Liver & Gallbladder flush would be advisable if the valve is impeding bowel flow. It would seem to me that such an issue could also hamper the elimination of gallstones. I have done 8 over the course about 4 years but I still have poor elimination. The last elimination didnt yield that many gallstones. Can you please advise? I also take chlorophyll pills & peppermint oil. Also, one last question - I sometimes take enteric coated proteolytic enzymes as I've heard that such ileocecal valve issues can be caused by scar tissue. I'm not sure that its helping and I sometimes notice pills in my stool especially when its watery   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2830 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2829: Protocols For COPD, Help for Weight Loss, Intermittent Fasting & Metabolism, Detox for Shot, Cause of Tinnitus, AHCC Supplements & HPV (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Pati: Hi Dr. Cabral, my name is Pati. My grandmother has been diagnosed with COPD and it’s been affecting her memory. She is a life long smoker (40+years), and we were able to get her to quit about two years ago. Her breathing is terrible and it breaks my heart. I know that this condition can’t be reversed but are there any protocols I can do with her to help her body heal from all those years of smoking?   Valerie: TYSM for all you do. I have been an avid listener and participant for about 2 years now and have learned so much! So far I have healed myself of RA and diabetes with your information and IHP help. My biggest challenge is weight loss which I still have not been able to conquer. I know you hear people say they've done everything and it didn't work but I really mean it. This includes the fatlossity plan as well as the Faster Way to fat loss. I lost a few pounds on fatlossity but began to gain it back as I added the carbs. I went back to FWFL afterward and actually gained weight trying to get all the macros in that they recommend. I walk 8-10k steps per day, do the FW workouts daily which include 3 days of strength training. I measure/account for every bite. I am so frustrated. Help!   Melissa: Hi doctor Cabral! I love your podcast and have learned so much from you. Thank you very much for all that you do. I have a quick question: dies intermittent fasting slow down your metabolism? I’ve worked my way up to 16:8 and wondering if I should keep doing this every day, or vary in order to keep my metabolism from slowing down. Just to give you some background info: I’m a 45 year old female, healthy and active. Do have subclinical hypothyroidism, but without any major symptoms. Thanks so much in advance for your help!   Ana: Hello, I'd like to know if there is a based spike detox from the shot?   Laura: Can certain medications or supplements cause tinnitus   Iys: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently got a pap smear and tested positive for HPV. It’s really been stressing me out and i’m trying to clear it as soon as possible. What are your thoughts on using AHCC (Active hexose correlated compound) supplements to help? I’m open to any other suggestions, I just want it gone.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Lara: Hi! I’ve been wondering, are coconut aminos healthy? How about black salt (kala namak)? And black garlic? Thank you   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been working on healing my body for the past year and i have noticed major improvements. I am a vata-pitta body type and i realized that most of my issues were due to low HCL and lectin sensitivity leading to poor digestion and poor assimilation of nutrients which led me to have immune system imbalances, as well as impaired detoxification. I have been working on healing my gut with CBO protocol and finisher and improving my digestion however i am still struggling with detoxification. I am really sensitive to herbs and other salicylates and so far i haven't found anything thay helps. I have worked on getting in more phase 1 and phase 2 detox nutrients. I also tried glycine to improve glycination pathway but it has made me super depressed and fatigued. What can i do?   Lindsey: hi dr. cabral - can a metabolism that has suffered from binge eating disorder (a lot of extreme sugar spikes and periods of normal consumption) heal? can insulin response ever return to normal if it is resistant now?   Katy: I have been working with a FM Dr for the past 5 months and have not seen improvements. I have had extreme bloating that is minor in the morning and worsens throughout the day, regardless of what I eat. I have type 1/2 daily BMs. I have fatigue, low mood, headaches, mild acne, brain fog. Occasional dry skin on eye lids/swollen eye lids. Occasional rashes that are hot / itchy and that last about 20 min and show on my feet, hands, elbows, ears, nose. Stool/hair test results had shown dysbiosis/bacteria overgrowth w/ pathogenic bacteria (Hafnia Alvei), maldigestion, & higher fecal fats. Slightly higher mercury, lower chromium/iodine. Have tried elimination diet, low-FODMAP, & supplements that haven't helped. Hoping you can help determine best next steps on testing / areas to focus on. Thanks!   Kerri: Hi Dr Cabral, I was recently browsing your CBD products. I have psoriasis and have been told stress affects it which I believe is true. Would CBD oil help with stress? Thanks soo much love your podcast!   Duanne: Can you explain what someone should do if they have eczema inflammation on parts of the body?

2822: Fish & PFAs, Fulvic Acid & Parasite Cleanse, Root Cause of Hand, Foot & Mouth, T2 & Hashimoto’s, Kidney Flush & Children, Trouble Falling Sleep (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Kelsey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast as it has helped me turn my health and mindset around completely, so thank you for all you do! I recently saw some information that scares me and would like your opinion. Wild-caught fish are a huge part of my diet, and I eat a piece of wild-caught salmon every day. What scares me is that I just came across several articles talking about how most fish, including wild-caught fish, contain extremely toxic levels of PFAs, or “forever chemicals” that cause all sorts of health issues and that these chemicals stay in your body forever. This is extremely disheartening to me as fish are a main staple of my diet and I’m trying to get the health benefits from them. Does this make it not worth it to eat the fish?   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. I was wondering what you think of fulvic acid. I've been seeing it all over facebook as a parasite cleanse. One of the forms is a foot soak. And little worms are said to come out. Does Equilife have a parasite cleanse? Thanks   Erika: I tried searching to see if you had talked about this but nothing came up…hand, foot and mouth disease. I did a google search but was hoping for more info on this viral virus. It’s always going around it seems and my kids have never caught it…until now. Is there an underlying dormant virus one carries with this or not necessarily? Just wanting to understand it better. Thanks so much as always for what you do.   Kim: Thoughts on the supplement T2 for those of us suffering with Hashimotos? I was diagnosed at age 14 (now 48). I'm sensitive to medication and my doses change frequently. I'm currently on 137 mcg tirosent and 2.5 mcg cytomel. Feeling hypo so looking into T2 since my labs are ok and i. Range but I feel swollen and like garbage a few months of the year. I follow my health coach protocol and been doing so for several years. I do all the things.   Anonymous: Hello. I was wondering how would you flush the kidneys for a child after completing the CBO protocol? Thank you so much   Maria: Hello Dr. Cabral, I cannot fall asleep anymore, I have to take sleeping pills. Why is it that I don’t have the sleep drive anymore and what is going on and what I can do for more natural way to sleep.

2816: Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fever & Racing Heart, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, Supplements & Aging, Visible Veins (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Shelley: Hi Dr. Cabral. I love you and your work. Thank you. My question is about my daughter who was diagnosed with JRA at the age of 13. She has been on various meds and is currently on Humira to control her symptoms. She has had a positive ANA test and a Centromere B ab of 1.4 which is high. Her doctor is concerned about CREST among other things. She also has had Myastenia Gravis. All serious auto immune diseases. She tries to be gluten free and careful with her diet but as an 18 year old going to college, I am concerned. What advice might you have to get control of this auto immune nightmare? Thank you for all you do.   Lindsey: hi dr. cabral! thank you for this podcast and all of your knowledge. i have 2 questions for you — 1.i run a body fever most nights. i notice it significantly when i lay down to go to sleep and my partner says i'm literally radiating heat. i suspect my body is trying to fight off something - what do you suggest as a first step in finding the root cause?2. my heart races/gets faster after meals (whether it be healthy or unhealthy food). can you help?thank you Tiffany: Ive listened to your podcast for 10 yrs & am grateful for your passion your knowledge & helping people. Question: An older friend of mine had to have emergency surgery to remove a non cancerous infected mass from her bowl & has been on a constant antibiotic drip for 2 wks. The I.V. was just removed & she is home w/a drainage bag still attached outside of her body to help rid the infection. When I found this out, I immediately ordered for her the Clean Gut Pros, Saccharomysis Boulardii & a 7 day detox. I was also able to talk her into The Big 5, to get the root cause. She then mentioned she also has Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. I tried to research your podcasts for info on this with no luck. Lab results will soon reveal but want any advice on CML to be in your podcasts. Much appreciated! Mandy: Hi doctor Cabral, I’ve been following your work, and listening to your podcast for years, and it has truly changed by health for better, so I’m eternally grateful. I have a question about my parents: they are both in their mid-70s and I want to keep them as healthy as possible. What are some essential supplements that they should definitely be using? They are not on anything now. They both eat pretty healthy and walk around 20K steps a day. Thanks so much for your advice! Erika: Breast question (I have a dr appointment next week and i know it will be weeks until you get to this but that’s okay, would love your opinion)….we did a lot of hiking in the mountains 2 weeks ago and i had a backpack on. After the 5th day, at the end of the day i noticed one breast on the underside looked bruised or like the veins were widened and very visible. I’ve never had this before…. The blue color will be very light in the morning but after exercising it’s back darker again. And only on the underside of the boob.Any idea what is happening?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2816 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2815: Hot Car vs. Sauna, Low Leptin Levels, Hyperparathyroidism, Easing Parkinson’s Symptoms, R-CPD (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Carol: Can staying in a hot car get similar benefits to sauna? Hot cars are common. Saunas are not. Since it's summer, cars get hot. Can I get similar benefits to sauna by staying in a hot car? How would I modify the temperature in the car?   Alicja: Hi Dr.Cabral, I hope you are doing well. I have question about Leptin hormone. I'm 40yo, BMI 18. I recently put on 15 lbs (I was underweight before) I noticed it is very difficult for me to get full. When I'm done eating my meals, I keep going back to kitchen for more food, because I still feel hungry. Sometimes it feels like I need to eat half of my kitchen to finally satisfy my hunger. I recently run some lab tests. They showed that my leptin levels are out of range, very very low. How can I balance my leptin levels? I'm happy with my current weight and don't want to put on any more lbs. My diet is very clean and I'm very active physically. I hope you have some advice for me. Thank you in advance for all your help.   Jennifer: I searched your podcasts for hyperparathyroidism. Didn't find any. For 12-13 years now my PTH has been 225-370. My serum calcium is low-low normal and my Vitamin D is 40-70. Hx insomina, worsening severe chronic constipation and brain fog/memory, vision that is more blurry but eye dr says it isn't changing, fatigue. Hx Stage III Lobular Breast Cancer (Dx in 3/2012) and 1 month after my bilateral hysterectomy and complete hysterectomy (so 5/2012) my PTH actually dropped to 81. However, 3-6 months later it was quite elevated again. Has your program helped anyone in my situation?? I've been to so many doctors, homeopaths, herbalists and no changes. Need help! Thank you for your time!!   Karen: My mother is 74 and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s around 2.5 years ago. She is still fully capable of moving around (albeit with some pain from Parkinson’s and Rheumatoid Arthritis) and she started seeing a trainer around 9 months ago who has really helped her. What other things can we try to help minimise the onset of Parkinson’s symptoms both physically (the shakes combined with Arthitis) and mentally (eg anxiety and depression)?   Terra: Hi, Dr. Cabral! Thank you for everything you do. My question is about R-CPD. I was wondering if you've heard of it? Basically I cannot burp. The only way to relieve the pressure is to stick my hand down my throat and press down on my sphincter. It causes tremendous discomfort and I think contributes to issues digesting and absorbing nutrients. I brought this up to a health coach and they seemed to dismiss this, but after filtering through all my issues, this seems to be the root cause. As of now the only treatment I know of is for a doctor to inject botox to paralyze the sphincter so you can retrain the muscle. So, my question is, what do you think is the best way to go about this? Is there alternative solutions? Or is the botox the best and safest way? Thanks!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2815 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2809: Resonant Frequency Therapy, Morning Routine for Kids, What Tests to Start With, Dog Allergy (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Brittany: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was curious to get your thoughts on resonant frequency therapy and it’s effectiveness or lack thereof on treating physical ailments, depression, and more specifically cancer. I believe this is the same technology as a Rife Machine so that would be the basis of my question regarding cancer. Also, is the technology behind binaural beats similar or is that unrelated? Thank you so much!   Nicolas: Hi Dr Cabral, Nicolas, from France! I have been an avid listener of your podcast for 3 years. Almost listened to all 2500+ podcasts, and it transformed my life. My wife and I will become parents of twins in a couple months, and we would like them to start in Life with as many good health habits as possible. How would you implement your main takeaways (morning routine, smoothie for breakfast, daily supplementation, etc.) with toddlers and kids? For example, may I wake up my kids in the morning, have them brush their teeth, drink a glass of water, do some oil pulling then some light stretch, and finally start up the day with one of your smoothie recipe? Thank you so much for helping the world with your advice and products. I wish the very best to you and your family.   Melissa: Hello Dr.Cabral. My daughter is a recent graduate of yours (obviously a true believer) I’m writing to ask questions before ordering tests I was diagnosed with SIBO 11/2022. Did antibiotic twice nov then March 2023. Bf that had issues weight gain bloating was told it was menopause. When asked can I have vitamins n and minerals as well as hormone levels. Was told by my dr they didn’t do that. Let me be honest I am a smoker…… So bf I order any testing I felt I should make you aware Your response would be greatly appreciated. So I have a better idea of where to begin. Thank you   Lindsay: Hello. I recently adopted a dog. I love her but she makes me itchy and I get little bumps that look like bug bites. I think it’s from her saliva.

2808: Lead & Pregnancy, GABA Receptor & Gut Health, Exfoliative Cheilitis, Vaginal Cones, Detox Without Weight Loss (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Desire: Hi Stephen Cabral! I notice in California some supplements have a warning label saying that the product could contain lead. I am hoping to become pregnant within the next year, and I am concerned about the birth defects that can be caused by lead exposure. Thank you.   Laurie: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do. I appreciate your podcast and look forward to it. I have done the CBO protocol and I’m currently doing the mold protocol. I am sensitive to anything that affects the GABA receptor and when I take the daily detox supplement my REM sleep is less than 30 minutes. I never did the CBO finisher because of the same reason/. Do you have any suggestions for sealing the gut or another detox supplement that would not affect the GABA receptor.   Salar: Hey Dr cabral im 17 years old currently living in canada about 9 months ago i took antibiotics and ever since then i developed this rare skin condition called exfoliative cheilitis. Now ive went on curezone forums people have healed it through diet, supplements etc. but im just scared that what if none of this works for me. Any advice on how i can cure this condition? Also for some reason taking biocidin and applying it on the lips kinda improved the condition   Carol: As a woman rather than as a health care professional, I recommend vaginal weighted cones. They are like a weighted tampon, but plastic. They make kegel exercises more effective, similar to how dumbbell weights help with biceps curls.  The same exercise builds more muscle. Using weighted vaginal cones with kegel exercizes can solve urine leakage issues, common after birth or in older patients.  They are cheaper and healthier than surgery or depends.  (Nobody died from vaginal cone issues like occasionally happens with surgery, for example.) Sir, can you weigh in on the health value of this?  How about brand preferences?   How do you get this cheaply? Does Medicare pay or is there a coupon?   Tips for use? Podcast please for all these questions.  Thank you    Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I want to ask about the detox program. Im 5’3” in height and I’m about 100 pounds. I’m underweight and I’ve always had a hard time gaining weight. I’ve done the detox once before but it made me lose even more weight. Is there a way for me to detox in such a way that I won’t lose weight but will still be able to reach autophagy? Your reply is very much appreciated.

2802: Wireless Headphones, Double Vision, Peyronie's, Candida & Digestive Issues, Understanding HRV (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. I appreciate all that you're doing. But ts making a difference in so many people's lives. Like really huge differences. My question has to do with Bluetooth air buds or wireless headphones. I know you harp on the dangers of using airbuds due to EMFs that may pass through brain, but is the dangers still present if someone uses only one side while leaving the other bud in the case? That's what I've been doing since you talked about it, thinking it'll minimise the risk cause I didn't just wanna throw them out but if you say that's also harmful, I would now. Keep up great work.   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been dealing with some double vision issues for a few years now. My recent MRI shows no obvious link. My ophthalmologist is blaming hormones/thyroid even though my numbers haven’t changed in years. I did notice that when I consistently used CBD/THC in microdose, the double vision would almost resolve. Currently I am pregnant so I can’t use this. The double vision is not pregnancy related and happens when I am and am not pregnant. Do you have any ideas on what could be the cause for the double vision? Or what could help this symptom in the meantime? Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge and caring enough to spread it!!   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, Not sure this is something you would want to broadcast, but I wanted to ask if there's anything you can recommend for peyronie's, or curvature due to fibrosis due to an injury. I've been taking Serrapeptase off and on, but it doesnt seem to help. My Urologist prescribed me a medication that increases blood flow, but I would rather explore options outside of pharmaceuticals. Thanks   Mina: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am curious to hear more about the relation between Candida overgrowth and digestive issues. I've always had digestive issues - heavy bloating and pain after eating, and noticed you mentioning that it could be related to a Candida overgrowth. I always test positive for Candida (albicans), have so for years, but my gynaecologist has always said that this is very common and most people have it. Thank you so much!   Amy: Hi dr! My hrv (Oura ring). Is in the 150’s to 200’s. Do you think this is a problem and what do you attribute this to. If it goes women to the 9 0’s is that a good thing or bad..so confused.

2801: Sunflower Oil, Cyst on Kidney, Colloidal Silver & Skincare, Cast Iron Pans, Glutamine & Anxiety (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. Hope all is well. Question just to clear up something for me rather than I remain confused. I'm about to purchase Fatlossity for a loved one and I'm not disputing the fact that it works but I just checked ingredients and I'm seeing sunflower oil listed. Isn't that also a much maligned seed oil? Why would it be in product or is it absolutely necessary? Or do you guys formulate it in a way to minimise the usual fallouts from using it? Keep up great work.   Deonna: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for your amazing work. I just started your program this year and have seen wonderful results. My question today is in regard to my husband. He has a simple cyst on his kidney. The it is not interfering with anything right now; however the troubling part to us is that it is huge, about the size of a football. He retires next summer and we are thinking of having it drained while he is still on insurance. I know some complications can occur by either leaving it if it continues to enlarge or possibly infection on draining, etc. I know you can’t give medical advice, but if this was you, are there any things you might try before opting for surgery. Thank you!   Lidia: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for the abundance of knowledge that you share on a daily basis. I am super grateful to have found your podcast. I wanted to know your thoughts on the use of Colloidal Silver (topical use) on face as a toner, just as part of a simple every day skin care routine. There are also mixed thoughts online on it’s oral use, such as adding some to your drinking water to treat a cold or other symptoms. Thank you in advance.   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I’m wondering how to actually use an iron cast pan? I’ve listened to your podcast about pots and pans and figured it’s the safest one for pancakes and such? But how to properly use it if you don’t want to really cook with oil? It seems impossible.. Also, are old enamel glazed pots ok? Thank you so much !   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I am trying to get more protein in my diet, as well as heal my leaky gut. I have been using glutamine and protein powder lots more than usual. Both to help heal my gut and get more protein in my diet, but have discovered since adding these in that the glutamine in the protein powder and glutamine powder I take is giving me anxiety and panic attacks. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Or is glutamine just a product that doesn't work well for some people and are there alternatives I can use?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2801 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2795: High Fasting Glucose, Fasting & High Blood Sugar, Supporting Liver Detox, Eating while Traveling, Broken Capillaries (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! i started tracking my blood sugar because i wanted to see if coffee was knocking me out of a fasted state. turns out my fasting glucose levels are elevated (consistently 100-110 upon waking and after prolonged fasts). i won’t go into everything i already do health - wise but i am very active, have no energy issues and eat well. i run a little anxious, high cortisol, etc. i have normal insulin and A1C levels. would the stress, mood and metabolism test be your go to here?   Kelsi: hi again dr. cabral! i know you have a million podcasts on blood sugar but i didn’t find any on myparticular question. what’re your thoughts on longer fasts for someone who consistently has slightly elevated blood sugar levels (100-105)? even after 24-36 hour fasts my blood sugar will remain around 100. curious on whether or not fasting would be helpful in this situation. lastly, is if possible for someone’s ‘normal’ blood sugar to just be higher than the standard?   Nana: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks to your content and your team’s support, i have been able to resolve a lot of my pre existing conditions and i am currently now doing the cbo finisher after completing the cbo protocol to heal my gut. However, one thing i havent been able to resolve over the years is my liver detox capabilities. I have trouble detoxing food chemicals like salicylates and even though taking the daily activated multivitamin helps, i am still unable to eat high salicylate foods. I can’t even get through the equilife detox even when i try to titrate. My salicylate bucket fills really fast and i get super inflammed all over again. How can i support my liver to detox better? Should i minimize fat like ghee and red meat? What can i do to finally heal?   Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for a great podcast and products. My husband is from Italy and when we gp there to visit family we are typically there for a minimum of 7 days. This means my mother in laws amazing pasta dishes lunch and dinner. What should I do in order to keep weight off? I bring my nutribullet so that I can make a smoothie with the DNS in it. But my mother in law is amazing in the kitchen and it is not well seen to day no to her food or even to eat very little food as there is often more dishes and they are amazing :-) I bring the digestive support but what else should I do? Even if I eat a smaller portion of the pasta and the eggplant lasagna etc. I am quite sure I will gain weight as this has happend each year so far. Thank for you advice in advance.   Nicole: Have any natural recommendations for broken capillaries on the face? Feel like I have tried it all except laser at this point.

2794: Laxative Dependency, Cooking with Oil, Wild Teasel, Celsius Energy Drink, Parathyroid Gland Removal (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, can you advise on how best to recover from stimulant laxative dependencies, or just dependencies on laxatives in general, even if someone is eating right? thanks   Lara: Hi, dr. C.. I’m trying not to cook with oil at all and add it in the end (olive, and even a bit of coconut oil to kitchari for example).. but all recipes start with oil in the pan.. then adding onions or spices.. am I not getting the same out of spices if I just put them in a bit of water instead of oil? I really feel like cooking with oil isn’t as healthy as adding it in the end on a plate when foods not piping hot anymore.. Also, so far haven’t found a good alternative to nonstick pans yet.. listened to your shows on the subject.. we bought a cast iron pan but how to use it properly ? Especially if I don’t want to use oil to cook on it? Thank you so much   Lara: Hi, me again.. :) Have you ever talked about wild teasel and it’s tincture? Here in Europe it’s used to combat borelia bacteria (Lyme disease, especially if it was never diagnosed but the bacteria has been in the body for years wreaking havoc).. I know most of your products are based on herbs.. what do you think about using wild teasel for getting rid of borelia? Thank you, you are amazing and I am so grateful to have found you.. Oh, almost forgot.. found out about borelia at a bioresonance full body diagnostics.. I asked her in the end how my candida, parasites and heavy metals were, not telling her I was doing your protocols from October until now.. she said that strangely, none of those are a problem (considering other people have them higher).. so, thank you for developing them!   Danyelle: Hi Stephen! I would just like to say you are very inspiring and your transparency definitely sets you apart from a lot of people in this industry. I was curious about your thoughts on Celsius energy drink. I am aware of the artificial sweetener Sucralose in it but, what are your thoughts regarding the message they have. They say the green tea with EGCG, ginger, and guarantee seeds turn on thermogenesis and boosts metabolic rate. I usually drink it while I am still faster before my workout and wanted to hear your thoughts (I am 23 years old so I have been able to get away with it this far). I bet a lot of people are curious because Celsius has been a huge rise in the fitness industry and know a lot of people that consume it under the same circumstances. Thanks! (:   Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, Would you know if are there any known determents to having a single parathyroid gland removed due to an adenoma? The other 3 should be able compensate for the loss of 1 so there should be no harm from the available literature I've read.Thanks   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2794 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2788: Ureaplasma, Manufacturing Supplements, Post-Menopause Supplements, Peanut Butter & Aflatoxins (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Justin: Hi, my girlfriend has been having vaginal pain for a few months and was recently diagnosed with Ureaplasma. She thought it was BV or a uti and took your advice for treating these with boric acid and acidophilus which seemed to help but definitely only temporarily. She took tests for bv/uti back negative for both. Doctors want to prescribe antibiotics for Ureaplasma and for some reason believe strongly that natural remedies won’t work for this. Do you have experience working with this and what is the rate of success you’ve seen with natural treatment? What treatment? Do any of your tests cover Ureaplasma?   Aaron: Hello Dr. Cabral! Can you explain some of the behind the scenes for how vitamins and minerals are made? We just read "Fateful Harvest" which explains how toxic waste is repurposed as fertilizer because it's unregulated, and thought about supplements also being unmonitored by the FDA. Where do methylated B vitamins, zinc, magnesium, etc come from? How do you ensure that there isn't also lead, arsenic, cadmium, berylium, etc when you have these companies manufacture your supplements? I appreciate the efforts you take to help us with health and look forward to more info!   Anonymous: I recently found out I’m officially post menopausal but it’s interesting I’ve had no symptoms other than no periods since last august. My GYN said since I’m so focused on avoiding hormone disrupters and endocrine inhibitors that could be part of it. Since having a stroke from birth control in 2004 I’ve been on a journey to eliminate them from my foods, household goods and personal care and beauty products which was why I was thrilled to see Beautycounter on your resources website page. I love their deodorant, make up, personal care and skincare! Do you have any other recommendations for a 45 year old post menopause for supplements and aging healthily? Thank you dr. Cabral   Suzan: Hi doctor Cabral, I am a big fan of organic peanut butter and eat it 3-4 times a week. However, a friend recently told me that almost 100% of peanut butter contains aflatoxin, a carcinogen produced by mold. This news has me a bit worried, so I wanted to reach out to you to see if you have any insights. You are the health expert that I trust the most, so wanted to run this by you before I freak out :) Thanks so much!

I have SIBO and am doing the CBO protocol and will be doing the "killing" phase for the 90 days followed by the 90 day "repair" phase. During both of these phases do we need to remove dairy, gluten & alcohol completely? I have a celebratory event in the later part of the year and was hoping to enjoy 1-2 cocktails, but unsure if this will ruin the entire protocol. Any advice?   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! thank you i’m advance. ive struggled with mild cystic acne for many years, however, lately ive been getting a couple that somehow turn infected. they get incredibly swollen, have to be lanced and the culture comes back positive for staph infection. i avoid antibiotics at all costs but with staph (as ive listened to every podcast), you’ve stated this is one occasion that it’s necessary…so i do. of course, i take S. bouldarii while on them. i’m just looking for confirmation that i’m on the right path. this is my plan. 21 day detox. CBO protocol / finisher heavy metal detox ive also ordered the stress mood and metabolism test to see my hormone levels. also, am i right to take the antibiotic if i have staph in the future?   Julia: Hi Dr Cabral! Just asking because i have been attempting to take an at home hormone blood test that was purchased from another company- before i discovered you. I want to do the test however i have an iud and have no menstruation in order to track where I'm at in my cycle. I started taking ovulation tests to check my LH in attempt to track my cycle but find it is not consistent. Do your blood tests require tracking cycle? Also any tips on finally testing my self! This stemmed from low libido. Im 34 yr old and feel like Im 70   Stacey: Hello Dr. Cabral I hope you are having such a beautiful and blessed day . I have a question on DNRS brain retraining . What’s your opinion on this way of healing ? I recently bought the program and going to start once summer vacation is over with . It’s 60 minutes a day dedication for at least 6 months so I’m a little intimidated but I’ve seen so many healing testimonies on it .

2781: Safety of Sweeteners, SIBO Protocol, Histamine Intolerance, Root Cause of Pericarditis, Multi-Vitamin with Iodine, Black Garlic (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Natalie: I am interested to know Dr Cabral’s thoughts on the safety of sweeteners like Stevia and Monk Fruit? Monk fruit especially is increasingly showing up in food and supplements and it’s very difficult to find information online about it.   Stacey: Hello, I was recently diagnosed with SIBO and I am wondering what protocol you recommend. I am also breastfeeding Thank you Stacey   Hannah: My question is relating to an ongoing histamine intolerance. I’ve done the 21 day detox, CBO, 2 months CBO finisher, heavy metal & mold detoxes, two more 7 day liver detoxes, and the parasite protocol. Each protocol was helpful but the parasite protocol (I completed 8-wks) is where I saw the most help with my histamine intolerance. It is significantly better than before that protocol in particular, but I can only handle small amounts of high histamine or histamine liberating foods. I get muscle twitches, sour stomach after eating highly acidic fruits such as oranges/berries, my right foot feels weak/like I’m limping, my right ankle swells up especially with beer, and I get stuck burps/trapped air in between and during meals. I also have a persistent scalloped tongue. Any advice?   Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral, I am an IHP Level 2 and RN and appreciate all the work you do and the course you made. I'm slowly chipping away on protocols as it seems I have symptoms of everything. That being said I have a history of recurrent incessant pericarditis resulting in a Pericardiectomy in 2021. My surgeon said this should have gotten rid of the pain - it has prevented me from being hospitalized again but I do still experience pain when stressed and sometimes around the heart when taking deep breaths. Additionally I struggle with a lot of jaw /neck pain. I'm looking for any advice or expertise around addressing pericarditis at the root cause as I know that these symptoms are probably still related to the pericarditis that was only addressed by surgery and not at the root.   Rozita: Dear Dr.Cabral,I’ll try to be short. Diagnosed w/ Hashimoto’s 3 weeks ago.Tsh,Ft4,Ft3- normal,TPO -900.Also,thyroid nodules diagnosed in2004. I am taking Se,Zn,D3, Mg,Turmeric,VitB complex,Vit A,VitE, and a Multivitamin for seniors, that has Iodine 150mcg.Question: should I continue to take the Multivitamin w/ the included Iodine? Thank you very much for the answer. You are the Best! I live by Your videos and recommendations. Kind regards! Rozita 73 yr,   Anonymous: Hi!

2780: Spermadine, Long-Term Melatonin Use, Ascorbic Acid & Acid Reflux, Natural Ecdysteroids & Hormones, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Kim: Thoughts on spermadine?   Erin: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thanks for all of your insight! Thoughts on long term melatonin use affecting your body's ability to produce the hormone naturally?   Jessica: When it comes to ascorbic acid and acid reflex, safe to take? How does this work out? I would love to understand more.   Anthony: Hi Doc, a huge thank you for the time and effort you invest into guiding us listeners in simple adaptations we can make to lead longer and cleaner lives. I'm closing in on 40 years of age and I've been an avid gym goer for 20+ years. Typically with weight training 4 days a week and a 20 minute walk everyday, having always struggled to gain weight, I was looking to put on some muscle mass and tried turkesterone and laxogenin together starting at half the recommended dose of each. After 6 weeks I noticed I was reaching personal best strength and as a result had gained almost 4lbs, sleep quality was better too. Unfortunately I broke out in quite bad acne on my back. Could these products effect hormones? I was under the impression natural ecdysteroids don't impact hormone levels. Thanks.   Luke: I’m wondering if there is anything that I can remedy from an underlying perspective for Ramsay hunt syndrome. I know antivirals do work but they don not stop the constant ringing in the ears. Any help would be appreciated. Love what you’re doing!

Leaky gut syndrome refers to the increased permeability of your intestinal wall.    When your intestines become more permeable it can lead to a wide variety of issues.    One of the concerning factors when your gut becomes more permeable is the presence of Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which are bacterial toxins that can lead to health problems if they enter the bloodstream.   So on today's #CabralConcept 2776, I'll discuss the 11 signs you may have leaky gut syndrome and go over what steps you can take toward healing.

2775: What We Think About We Bring About (MM)

Our predominant focus in life often determines the outcomes we experience.    Research has revealed that our reticular activating system amplifies what we spend the most time concentrating on.    Unfortunately, without conscious effort, many of our emotionally charged thoughts tend to be negative.    However, with some minor adjustments, we can reshape our perspective and create positive change.    Tune in to today's #CabralConcept 2775 to explore how the concept of "what we think about, we bring about" can be harnessed to create your dream life - Enjoy the show, and let me know what you thought!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2775 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2774: Prioritizing Supplements, Probiotics, Fermented Multi-Vitamins, Ectopic Heartbeat & Devices, Reversing Thyroid Nodules, Liposomal vs Methylated Vitamins (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Cindy: I have used your Daily Level 3 protocal for a few years now, but I only use half of the multi vitamin (due to cost) because I share it with my teenage son. I do purchase additional omega 3 so that I get 2 grams daily and use 1 capsule of your B complex daily. I love your magnesium drink, healthy gut support, collagen, and thyroid support. I would like to use the mitochondrial and hormone support too! My genes do have 2 copies of the MTHFR gene mutation and I am postmenopausal. Oh, and I use about 20,000 I.U. of your Vit. D daily inorder to keep my level above 50. I can't take every supplement I would like, but how do I prioritize? If I took the full dose of all of these, would I get too much or waist vitamins?   Cindy: Do you think a microbiom could get "use to" a probiotic and therefore not work as well? A few years ago when I started taking your probiotic, it immediately helped be to have a BM daily. That doesn't happen anymore. 2 BM weekly is now the norm again. Amy ideas besides adding Magnesium citrate? (which I have started doing) Thanks for all you do   Barjan: Dr. Cabral, Thank you very much for the service that you offer to help people all around the world. It’s truly incredible! I have lot of trust in your knowledge, so I would like to ask about natural multivitamins made by process of saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation. I had an IgG food intolerance test done several years ago when I visited the US, where there was low reactivity (yellow) to bakers and brewers yeast and high reactivity (red) to Candida albicans. Do you think that fermented multivitamins can cause some inflammation for me in the long run, even though the yeast is no longer living in the final product? There are no functional medicine supplements available where I live, the only alternative is one US based organic fermented multivitamin. Please advise, thank you. Bajran   Marina: Hi Dr Cabral, Since ectopic beats are caused by electrical disturbances in the heart, is it same to use touch therapy devices such as Apollo etc   Jessica: Hello, There is quite a lot of videos on thyroid health but I am specifically wanting to know about reversing Thyroid nodules. Tests show that my thyroid is functioning fine however I have 5 nodules that have been tested. They are benign. How can I reverse or eliminate my nodules? I am already on a GF and dairy free diet. I don't drink or smoke. I certainly need to exercise more and I have looked at supplementation: selenium, Vit D and Iodine. Very much appreciated! Jessica   Joey: Hello Dr.Cabral. Can you please explain the difference between liposomal vs methylated vitamins? Some manufacturers claim that liposomal technology is superior to all other, because of its way to get inside cells. Is liposomal delivery truly superior. Please explain how it works.

2773: Brown Spots on Skin, Xanthelasma, ACV & Lightheaded, Next Steps & Big 5 Labs, Biotin (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Joesph: Hi dr cabral im asking this question for a family member. She had a small growth on her leg that looked like a wart when she went to the doctor they put acid on it to remove it but she ended up getting a blister the size of a dime when that healed it’s now a brown spot is there anything to make the brown spot go away thank you   Jackie: xanthelasma. What is it? Can I get rid of it on my eyelid? Also how to prevent it. And is it true it's a sign of heart disease? Sorry for multiple questions. Very nervous when Google is involved. Looking for root caused, and protocol on how to reverse or prevent safely. Already asked on group messages, referred back to you.   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I started incorporating apple cider vinegar while drinking my 1L of lemon water and between protocol supplements and the probiotic in the mornings.. It’s before I consume any food since the (currently parasite) protocol supplements and probiotic have to be taken on an empty stomach.. After I drink ACV or even when I use fire cider (since it’s predominantly ACV) I usually get really lightheaded, have a weird feeling around the eyes (slight headache even) and slightly itchy cheeks and sometimes also a weird feeling in the stomach (heavy, some blunt pressure or even slight pain).. What could be the reason for it? What am I doing wrong? If you could please explain how it work a little bit so I could understand it a bit more and change something.. thank you so much!   Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral Sorry for the long message, but wanted to include the details. I’m 32 year old male. Have been sick for a decade now. Have homozygous COMT and het MTHFR. Have elevated fungal markers on my OAT and never have any of the beneficial bacteria (lactobacillus and bifido) on my gut tests. Told I Have CIRS. Tried the cbo earlier this year followed by 1 month of the cbo finisher without results, but I was under a lot of stress while doing it ( floating bms, burpy after eating, dry skin, shakey without starch and meat meals, hair falling out, low T3, high SHBG on labs). Wondering what you suggest should be my next approach. Was going to run the big 5 plus the gut a parasite test and work with one of your coaches, but would like your opinion on things. Thanks   Heather: Would love to ask u about biotin - I recently came off it for a week or two and I needed to go back on - the body tingling was terrible and I started to feel anxiety bad and my circulation seems to be off as well . Is it possible biotin could balance a person ? Would a dr order a b7 test ??   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2773 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2771: Foods & Supplements that Protect Brain Health & BDNF As You Age (TT)

If you're interested in enhancing your brain health and preventing cognitive decline, boosting your brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is one of the most effective strategies.   As we age, our brains can deteriorate, and the neurons responsible for transmitting chemical messages start to break down. Fortunately, there are methods to not only halt this decline but also reverse it.   Today, on #CabralConcept 2771, I want to go over the foods and supplements that protect brain health and BDNF as you age, so you can begin to incorporate them into your daily diet and reap the benefits.

There are pros and cons to everything.   When it comes to a low-carb diet, many individuals may choose it to enhance weight loss, digestion, skin health, and mental clarity.   However, in clinical practice, we have observed how low-carb diets can impact hormone levels, affect thyroid function, and decrease neurotransmitter production.   Join me in today's episode of #CabralConcept 2770, where I discuss how long-term low-carb diets can lead to depression and what you can do instead.

2767: Consistent Acne, Campylobacteriosis, Post Surgery Care, Bioresonance Devices, Walking & All-Cause Mortality (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Emily: I am in my 20s and have struggled with acne for over 10 years now. It has always been deep, red, painful, consistent blemishes. I have consistently seen two separate naturopathic doctors/chiropractors during this time as well. We have looked at hormones, food sensitivities, even emotional based healing. You name it - I’ve tried it. Skincare included. Yet my acne and skin congestion has continued to settle in & worsen, now with scars as well. I now use gentle/minimal skincare. It affects my every day life. It’s hard to have hope that it will ever hear. Do you have any suggestions what I should do? I am planning to begin my first detox program soon, which is one thing I have never done before. I am excited to add regular detoxing to my health journey.   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! i have a bit of a complex question. in 2013 i got very sick with campylobacteriosis. ten years later my rain barrel is starting to show overflowing symptoms via the skin. ive read that the migrating motor complex can be damaged with this type of infection by targeting the vinculin protein, thus, causing digestive issues. i’m curious if your detox, CBO protocol + finisher is the best route here and if adding 1 day a week of dry fasting could boost healing? thank you so much.   Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, I've written in before regarding hyperparathyroidism/hypercalcemia. It was advised that I may have excess adrenal stress. Since then, they found a adenoma in my upper left parathyroid gland. By the time you read this, I would have likely had it removed but have a few questions. What can you advise as far as post-operative care besides what the doctors usually recommend ( I would rather not take tums or calcium carbonate)? What sort of complications can I expect having 1 of the glands out? Lastly, what do you think could have caused this and what can be done to prevent another from forming? The only other thing I can add is that I was working 3rd shift (I returned to day shift a year ago) while being on a keto diet during the time I started getting my symptoms. Thanks   Bindi: Hi Dr Cabral! I’m an IHP with you and so grateful for all that you offer to the community!! I have a question on wellness tech - what are your thoughts on Bioresonance devices like Healy? And any bio tracking wearable recommendations specifically for women? I’m an IHP specializing in women’s hormonal health and would love to see more wearables with research/data on women’s bodies, the menstrual cycle, and doesn’t make her her vitals look like she’s dying when pregnant with the oura ring haha. What are your fave bio tracking wearables and any ones you’ve heard of that are excellent for women?   Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, Why do studies show that just walking can reduce all cause mortality and dementia? Why not running or biking or weight lifting?

2766: Help for Sleep, Incomplete Bowel Movements, Joint Pain, Earthing Benefits, Small Changes, Dizziness & Ear Popping (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Cindy: I love Fatlossity PM for the best sleep, but I often get jittery with caffeine so I have only used the AM short term. I don't get the same effect with your Sleep Support supplement (melatonin tends to awaken me after only a few hours). I do benefit from the amino acid L-trypophine, on occasion. Since Fatlossity PM cannot be purchased separately, do you have any suggestions for improving sleep or which supplement is likely to help me? My sleep has improved over the last 6 years from learning from you, but I often still wake up after 5 or 6 hours of sleep to go to the bathroom. I am post-menopasusal, but I do take estrogen replacement- which has helped. But, Once my brain starts thinking, sadly sleep is usually over!   Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral. 39 year old male here. My issue is related to “Incomplete Bowel Movement” and I have been experiencing this issue for at least 10 years and I’m unsure what I should do about it. Basically, I have a normal bowel movement but it sometimes feels like not everything came out. So then I use an anal douche and every single time there is more poop coming out with the water. This happens with every single bowel movement. I’m a “fitness guy” with a healthy diet and lots of fiber. Thank you!   Joy: Thanks for all you do Dr Cabral! (Q #1 of higher importance) I’m a 30y/o F & would consider myself to be decently healthy & aware of my body. I however experience awful joint pain & weakness. It tends to hold me back from enjoying an active lifestyle. It’s literally every joint from my neck to my ankles. My brother was born with a disease -Osteogenesis Imperfecta but has the more mild type 1. It affects the production of collagen. I don’t think I have OI also. Curious what would you recommend me take/do to help my joint pain. Q#2 I recently read of the “earthing” concept, which is supposed to have a range of health benefits. It involves the natural electricity of the earth, here is a link for more info. I’m skeptical, but would like to know what u think! https://groundingofficial.com/   Jade: Hey there. I’ve been invested in my health for some time now and have been doing my best to encourage people around me to be healthier versions of themselves. However, I have one aunt in her late 50s whose diet isn’t necessarily the best. She drinks Diet Coke mostly every day, eats out regularly and doesn’t exercise. She also has an extremely stressful job which doesn’t help. It‘s always been difficult to encourage her to change her eating habits, but she was just diagnosed with carpal tunnel. I told her I would do my best to get information on small changes she can make to better her condition and overall life. Is there anything she can do or take that may not be drastic? I would recommend your detox and less processed foods and drinks of course, but that’s too extreme for her.   Erica: Hi Dr. Cabral! I wanted to ask you your thoughts on what could be the root of my symptoms. I’ve had dizziness for about 3-4 years now and it’s very consistent almost every day. However, it hasn’t gotten worse it’s stayed very consistent over this time. It seems to be worse around the time of my period and also when under stress. In addition, I have a lot of popping in both of my ears and sometimes my ears feel itchy and almost like my eustachian tubes have to release pressure. I went to the ENT who said I might have Eustachian tube dysfunction but ruled out any fluid in my ears or other issues. I also tried the maneuver for crystals in my ears which didn’t seem to have an effect either. Any thoughts on things I could try? Dizziness got worse when I took antibiotics 3/4 years ago.

2760: Metformin, Eating Fruit, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Blood Test for RA, Daily Cruciferous Veggies (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Stacey: Hi Dr. Cabral , I hope you are having a wonderful day ! I have a quick question for ya . What Is your opinion on Metformin? My functional medicine Dr. / endocrinologist prescribed it to me to help with insulin resistance & some of my dysautonomia symptoms like sensory sensitivity ect .. I’ve been reading the book lifespan from Dr. David Sinclair and he brings up Amazing things Metformin is used for and in some counties you don’t even need a prescription for it ect … I found it to be very interesting and I’m considering trying it but still nervous . Have you dug deep in the metformin rabbit hole ? What’s your opinion? Thanks for everything.   Ryan: Hello Dr. Cabral , I want you to know I’m learning so much from you and I’m extremely thankful! I have a question for you on your opinion of medical Mediums approach to healing with all that fruit ? Im learning a lot from you and have done several protocols as well as detoxing and Fatlosity. I still have issues with a fatty liver , hypothyroidism, hormonal imbalances ect … Some have been sharing their healing through medical Mediums protocols & detoxes even through your group page .. I bought his books and a lot makes sense, yet eating all of that fruit being pre diabetic sits hard with me .,… even though he claims it will reverse all these conditions. I’m confusing myself with all the different books I read , pos casts ect .. I have done your big 5 labs   Robert: Hi Dr Cabral. I have found your podcasts incredibly valuable, so thank you so much for all you do, it is very much appreciated. I recently went to Acupuncture and did a Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer Handheld Health Detector Analyzer which showed i have a moderate level of Rheumatoid Arthritis coefficient. I don't have the symptoms of RA, but my acupuncturist believes i might be pre-RA. I have very high anxiety as shown on a OAT, so am working on reducing that and have ordered the CBO protocol. I would be interested in hearing your story of how you recovered. Did you have joint pain with your RA or did you just have pre-RA? were you on medication too before you healed naturally? Any other advise for me to not go from pre-RA to RA? Thank you again!   Robert: Sorry Dr cabral, me again. Just a follow up from question….. as you haven’t had RA for a long time now, does it still show up in your blood test (I.e. elevated ESR), or does your blood test show no signs of the disease? Thanks again   Amanda: Hello Dr. I am 34 y.o dentist vata type. I suffer from many floaters, tinnea versica, white spots on nails, and a left ear that always pounds/heart beat audible. I have a weird tingling between should blades right after eating. If I eat cruciferous veggies daily @ 1 serving, my palms and soles turn bright YELLOW, and turned yellow while pregnant 2 years ago. Milk thistles and liver herbs also cause tingling in my back. Tried the DNS for 4 months (and 21 day detox) but it didn't help the yellowing. I Did your liver flush once and passed hundreds of stones. Why would one turn yellow after crucifers? Are they not good for me?or Do you think phase I , II or 2.5 detox is impaired? If you could provide any explanation about the yellowing and/or solutions and root causes for my symptoms?

2759: Alzheimer’s Detection, Belly Fat, Scar Tissue & Detox, Redox Signaling Molecules, Mouth Ulcers, Thyroid Testing (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Salman: Hello! Thank you for your post on Alzheimer early detection. Can you please share the info on where I can do the Alzheimer early detection blood test that you referred to?    Sabrina: Hi doctor Cabral. Does having more fat on your belly also mean that you have more visceral fat? I’m lean, working out regularly and eat a very clean plant-based diet, but still have a lot of belly fat. I know this is due to my slightly slower thyroid and lower female hormones (I’m 45), but I’m still concerned about this. Thanks so much for your answer!   Summer: I have a history of endometriosis, many ruptured ovarian cysts, two ectopic pregnancies, lots of internal bleeding & peritonitis. Fortunately I found natural health & reversed many of my dis-eases including PCOS, but not before destroying my chances for natural pregnancy. Each case involved internal bleeding & inflammation leaving painful adhesions throughout my abdominal cavity. A lot have been removed during other gynecological surgeries, but I know they left a couple on my liver. I do castor oil, manual manipulation on my liver & digestive tract hoping to break them up.I know proteolytic enzymes are key & I did get some & intend to work at it from that angle as well. Will adhesions on the liver affect detox efficiency?Will all that scar tissue jam up the lymphatic system in general?Thx!   Susy: Hi Dr Cabral, I've heard you can take redox signaling molecules as a supplement. What is your opinion on that? Is it true? Does it have side affects? Or does it really speed up healing process in the body?   Deonna: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for all you do! I am following you and have found much help and hope on my health journey. My question today concerns my 32 year old son. He is getting painful mouth ulcers and his palms and feet get spots. All he has been able to come up with is mouth, hand and foot disease. However, this happens every few months. What would your you suggest?   Ann: Hi Dr Cabral- THANK YOU for doing so much to help so many :) I have been on Synthroid for over 30 years. I would like to work on getting to the root cause of why my thyroid is low. I understand that running free T4 and T3 is important , besides TSH, but can I run these while on Synthroid and get accurate information? How do I go about understanding the root cause without going off the medication first?

2753: Pickling Lime & Eggs, Calcium Supplements & Breast Cancer, Early Onset Osteoporosis, Terahertz Wand, Metabolism & Unfiltered Water (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Summer: Hi doc! I would love your thoughts on calcium hydroxide or pickling lime, mainly for preserving eggs. Hens naturally slow way down in egg production in the winter so I’m looking for ways to preserve our excess farm eggs during the summer to have in the winter. Preserving the raw eggs in pickling lime is one option and I’m just not sure whether it’s a good idea or not! Basically you submerge clean, raw, unwashed, day old eggs or freshly layed eggs in a solution of 1 oz lime to 1 quart water in jars or buckets. They are supposed to be good for up to a year and can be used just like a fresh egg. Just a bit skeptical of calcium hydroxide. Thanks for everything!   Patti: Hi, hope all is well. Any connection with calcium supplements & breast cancer? Thank you   Lacey: Diagnosed with early onset osteoporosis. Was only told I need to go on a pill and that still wouldn’t fix it. What are lifestyle tips and steps to take to change this diagnosis??   Noreen: Hello Dr Cabral! Thank you for your commitment to health and well being, and for being such a great educator and practitioner. Have enjoyed your podcast for many years. Question - I have not seen you address or review the Terahertz Healing Wand or Blower. I heard about it earlier this year via the Budwig Center, which I follow, and then recently from a distributor. Gather it has been in the states for a few years and coming into use in alternative health care practices. Should your interest and time permit, would love to hear what you think in a future podcast. God’s best to you and yours!   Anonymous: Good Morning Dr. Cabral! I recently had a small leak in my waterline (underground in my front yard) that was going one for around 3 months. During this time, I also noticed that the water coming out of my faucets was slightly cloudy and sometimes had a very subtle bad smell (like rotten eggs). I just had the leak identified and repaired, and the water is much clearer and odorless now. I always filter all drinking/cooking water through my Berkey filter, but while the leak was ongoing I was still exposed to certain unfiltered water (i.e. dishwasher, shower, sink, brushing teeth). My main question: is it possible that something leached into the water supply that could have affected my metabolism? During this time, my metabolism slowed a crazy amount (even though same exercise/diet)    Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2753 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2752: Psoriasis & Food Allergy Test, Root Cause For Moles, BCAAs, Dental Work & PTFE, Garlic & Bacteria (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Kerri: Hi Dr Cabral, love your podcast! I am curious. I have psoriasis and I am wondering if I should do a food allergy test. How accurate are the tests and what test would you recommend if not the food allergy? Thank you soo much!   Bryana: Hi Dr. Cabral. I was wondering if there was any science/reason behind moles and why people get some or get many. I feel like as I’ve gotten older I’ve gotten more and more and wish there was a way to get rid of them. Besides sun exposure is there a cause or deficiency of some sort? And are there any ways to get rid of them? Thanks so much for all you do.   Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral! 2 questions here: 1. I listened to your podcast on branch chain amino acids found in food. I wanted your opinion on supplementing with it. I know EquiLife does not carry them so was just curious why. 2. I’ve been hearing lots of conflicting evidence that taking collagen does not work. Can you explain how collagen actually benefits the body? Thanks so much!   Alicja: Hi Dr.Cabral, I have a question related to my teeth. I pulled out teeth that had root canals done and now I have zirconia implants instead. For the first implant my dentist used cement to attached the crown and I stopped sleeping for a month after that. For the second implant - to avoid cement, he used a screw and plumbers tape. My sleep stayed good, but I started getting daily headaches. I googled plumbers tape and it turns out it's "teflon tape" made from PTFE! (my mind was blown!) My headaches went away after 2 weeks, but I can't make peace with the teflon tape. Do you think it's safe to have it as long as there is no high heat? I like using infrared sauna a few times per week (heats up to 145F) At what temp. does PTFE releases harmful chemicals? Should I replace the tape with cement?   Alicja: Hi again, my second question is about garlic. Raw garlic is one of the remedies I use when I get sick. Despite lower appetite and eating very little during sickness, I usually get more bloating and lot's of white coating on my tongue. Garlic is called "natural antibiotic" because it can kill bacteria and other pathogens, but it also is reach in prebiotic, right? So it means it can feed bacteria. Which one is it then? Does garlic feed bacteria, or kills them? Thank you for all your amazing work!

2750: Do You Know Your Chronotype? (Find Your Ideal Sleep Time) (TT)

There are some people who tend to glamorize getting as little sleep as possible…   They claim to be both early birds and night owls.   And while there may be a genetic disposition for people to gravitate towards either waking early or going to bed later, it is important that you continue to get 7-9 hours of sleep per night.   So today I want to go over how you can work with nature and your diurnal rhythm to ensure you are getting the sleep you need.   Join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2750 to uncover what the 4 chronotypes are to help you find your ideal sleep time - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2750 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2746: Leaky Gut & Food Sensitivities, IgG Testing, Blood Parasites, Alzheimer’s Early Detection, Meal Timing (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral, does a leaky gut cause food sensitivities or do food sensitivities cause a leaky gut? Thanks!   Julia: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for doing this show and for your honest answers and reviews. I know you offer the IgG food sensitivity testing as part of the Big 5 Labs and I would like to understand your rationale for it as scientifically it has been shown to have very poor value. Multiple studies have now demonstrated that IgG testing cannot be equated to sensitivity in individuals but could rather be linked to exposure to said food or even tolerance. I know there are alternatives looking at changes in blood cells size and structure such as ALCAT and MRT. What are your opinions on those tests and why do you choose to test with IgG?Thank you!   Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! Wondering if the parasite stool test or any of the tests will detect blood parasites? If not, how can blood parasites be detected and dealt with? Will the parasite protocol wipe out blood parasites as well as digestive parasites? Thanks for everything you do! I love learning from you everyday!   Salman: Hello! Thank you for your post on Alzheimer early detection. Can you please share the info on where I can do the Alzheimer early detection blood test that you referred to?   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! how crucial is spacing meals out 3 1/2 to 4hrs if you’re already doing a long fasting window (18 hrs daily)? just want to make sure i’m getting enough calories in on a daily basis. i stay pretty hungry as i’m very active. thanks!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Kelsi: hi dr. cabral - you are the best there is and i appreciate you so much. quick question about cortisol / blood sugar and coffee. if consuming coffee after water in the morning on an empty stomach, would adding homemade nut milk prevent cortisol and blood sugar from rising VS. completely black? i know it’s ideal to drink coffee with food but just curious about this when traveling and waking early. thanks!   Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral Would love to hear your list on what foods to avoid during pregnancy? Thankyou   Missy: Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us, Dr. Cabral! What are your thoughts on drinking alkaline water? How much? Best times of day to drink or not drink alkaline water? We have a XXXXX system for our drinking water but sometimes wonder if it was a good investment or not. We live in the country so we naturally have well water. Would the well water be better or the alkaline water?   Stephanie: Hi Stephen, I had a relatively healthy pregnancy (my only pregnancy) in 2019. At week 36, my docs suspected I would have preeclampsia (as my blood pressure was rising and I had protein in my urine). They induced me but I wouldn't dilate passed 7cm. Therefore, they performed a c-section and sent me home 2 days later. I was not feeling right at home, so I checked my blood pressure and it was 183/118. I was readmitted into the hospital for post-eclampsia. After going through this terrifying experience I am very hesitant to conceive again. Do you have any suggestions/recommendations how on best to avoid blood pressure issues during pregnancy?   Gabriel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Big fan of the show! Thank you for taking the time to answer my question below. For a few years, my dad has been living with a pretty severe case of labyrinthitis/vestibular nerve damage, to the point where if he turns his head in a sudden motion, the floor under him moves causing him to lose balance. Needless to say, this affects him in his every day life but also with things he likes to do, like playing tennis and golf. The doctors who have seen him have prescribed antibiotics in different dosages, but these don't seem to help. He's been told the nerve damage is simply too severe to remedy the situation. I refuse to believe there is no solution for this and would love to offer some treatment or solution. Any help or recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Monika: I'm (43) diabetic. HbA1c 6.3. How can I get rid of this situation ? Everyday I walk 10,000 steps, Weight training 2 days/week. Eating low carb. But failed. Please help me out. I'm from India. Thank you.   Julia: Hi Stephen Cabral Team, My name is Julia and I am a 35 year old woman living and working in Nairobi, Kenya. I am kindly requesting that you respond to my message. In 2021, I was infected with and recovered from the virus. Soon after this I was diagnosed with severe GERD. I think there was a connection. I have had 2 colonoscopies and 3 opinions with no success. All I get is the same prescription of Nexium or Pantocid. Currently only eating boiled food, no spices in an attempt to stop the reflux (base of throat) and nausea. I’ve spend all my money to get help. I’m not giving up but I am feeling like I’m running out of options. I’m only 35 and this disease has changed my life :(. I hate taking PPIs but after a few days it’s the only form of relief. I beg you, kindly, please help me.   Cheryl: Hello Dr. Cabral, Do you have a diabetic meal plan protocol similar to the CBO sensitive stomach protocol?   Jeffrey: Hello Dr Cabral, one of your IHP2/HPH Students here. I recently learned about a sometimes fatal condition called Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome / Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, (SJS/TEN) and how those with a weakened immune system are at higher risk, especially when introduced to new medications like sulfa antibiotics and others for seizures, gout or mental illness. I searched your podcast to learn more and was surprised to find no results, so here I am to ask what you can share about the condition from a root cause and IHP perspective. Thanks.   Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. Thank you for all you do. It's really appreciated. Two questions. When you say avoid eating fruit alongside meals, does that also apply to those that are technically fruit but often considered vegetable? Eg. Avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, melongene etc. Question 2: Does one still need to supplement with let's say magnesium if they're consuming a lot of pumpkin & Chía seeds, bananas, veggies daily? Same with vitamin C if I eat a lot of fruit? Thank you.

2738: Detoxing Sulphur, Prenatal Supplements, Titanium Sensitivity, Night Waking, Raynaud’s Syndrome (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Lorena: I was listening to your show on the problem with fermented foods and you mentioned some people having issues with detoxifying sulphur due to genetics. I’ve personally seen this with my clients where they get anxiety and foul smelling gas after consuming anything that is high in sulphur including glutathione. And no, this is not a bacterial or Candida issue because these are individuals that have done the CBO protocol. So what would be your recommendation? Not consuming any crucíferos veg or any supplements that are sulphur based? Thank you in advance for your reply!   Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral What are your thoughts on food based prenatal supplements vs normal prenatal supplements containing the methylated forms of nutrients? Would you recommend a food based prenatal as a suitable source or best to stick to something such as the Daily nutritional support? I do read that food based is more bioavaliable but i do wonder if some may require more then this? Many thanks   Summer: Hi doc!My brother has a titanium plate on his collar bone.He’s concerned that he is sensitive to titanium & that it could be causing unnecessary stress to his body. He’s thinking of having it removed, but he’s also not crazy about being bombarded with what comes along with surgical procedures.So is there a way to tell for sure if his body is suffering ill effects from this plate? Is there some kind of test to run for titanium?He’s done the minerals/metals test & done the heavy metal detox.What should he be looking out for as far as side effects from a titanium sensitivity, & if he is in fact sensitive to it, what can be done?Would it be best to have it removed & then rebuild his gut after the surgery? Would like to know for sure before opting for surgery which is always a last resort   Sue: Hi doctor Cabral, I really hope you can help me out with the following: I have no problems falling asleep (around 10pm), but I keep waking up at least 4/5 times between 3am and my wake-up time (6am). I try to do everything right: my last meal is at 6pm, I stay off the phone, wear blue light blocking glasses, do not drink alcohol, my room is cold and dark .. I just don’t know what to do about it and you are my last hope! Just to give you some additional details: I’m a 45-year-old female, plant-based, lift weights and walk 6 days a week, regular cycles, do intermittent fasting 12-16 hours a day. Please let me know if you have any tips or tricks, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks so much for all you do, Sue   MaryAnn: Hello, do you recommend anything for Raynaud’s syndrome? My brother has severe sleep apnea and Raynaud’s syndrome and so far the doctors have done nothing but tell us it’s not occurring because he looks so fit and healthy even though his hands look horrid as if they’re always constricted and he can’t sleep due to the pain.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Linda: Hello! I can’t run due to injuries. I use a stationary bike for cardio. How can I do a V02Max test with the stationary bike? Thank you!   Jen: I am getting Dyshidrosis on my hands and it seems to be spreading. What are some root causes of this and where should I start in treating this?   Sandra: Hello doctor Cabral, I'm a 45 yo woman, and lately I have been waking up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night. What could be the cause, and what can I do about it? I'm a 45 year old woman, with a healthy (plant-based) lifestyle. regular strength training and regular menstruation. Thanks so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it   Tom: Hi Doctor Cabral. My son is 26 and suffers with severe OCD to the point where it is debilitating and affects his relationship with his girlfriend hugely. He is always interrogating her asking “what did you mean by that comment” at the most insignificant things and I can see it’s killing both him and her because he can’t help it. He’s had these OCD traits since he was a young boy but they seemed to worsen significantly after the covid vaccine where he began to develop health anxiety too. He is also covered in tattoos, smokes and vapes daily (was thinking maybe heavy metals may relate?) I’m trying to convince him that lifestyle has an impact on neurotransmitters and mental health but he won’t listen. Is there any info on lifestyle / diet and OCD? Thanks so much!   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. I sincerely appreciate all the work you do in supporting others through information about natural intervention. I wanted to ask about Herpes outbreaks. I have listened to your podcast #760 several times. You speak about how to treat cold sores topically and I wondered if you could advise on treating herpes sores on genital areas topically. I have read a lot about Lemon Balm. Do you have any advice on what can be used to ease sores?

2731: Prescription Alternative, Nails & Inflammation, Increasing Vegetables, Disordered Eating & Detox, Ureaplasma (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Naran: Hi. First of all, you have been inspiring and motivating to me. My health has never been in good shape. This question is actually for my mom. She is 76 years old and been going through high blood pressure, high cholesterol and asthma. She is taking so many medications prescribed by her doctor and her health is just one side effect after another. Is there any alternative to taking her medication? Any supplements that will help? And if there are supplements that will help, can she discontinue her prescription?   Carl: Hi Dr Cabral, I've noticed recently that I'm losing the connective tissue or calking around my fingernails. The skin is brittle and rubs off. This has caused inflammation and soreness, making every task difficult. I had to have the nail on my middle finger removed because the knuckle was inflamed which made the nail grow awkwardly. Other fingers look like they are following suit. Any help would be appreciated.   Gianna: Hi there, I have 2 questions: 1) How do you recommend increasing produce intake with a client who is adamant that they do not like vegetables and seem unwilling to try to incorporate more. I do not want them to have to depend on spending a lot of money on powders and supplements. 2) I was wondering if you recommend any of the detox/cleanse/elimination diet regimen for a client with bloating and digestive issues (and potential food sensitivities) if they are recovering from an eating disorder and struggling to increase caloric intake. Thank you! Gianna   Jordyn: Hi there, I have had a long history of chronic yeast infections and BV cycle. I recently tested positive for Ureaplasma and prescribed 21 days of doxycycline. From what I’ve read this is a tough bacteria to get rid of due to no cell wall. I havnt seen any podcasts on Ureaplasma and I will probably be done the course of antibiotics once you get to this question but any suggestions if a relapse is to occur, I hate having to take antibiotics.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2731 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

I’m listening to the podcast about insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes and I’m confused about the information that the problem is mixing carbohydrates with fats.. Is this only with processed oils or every fat? Because obviously we’re supposed to have carbs, protein AND FAT at every meal, right? Sorry, just trying to make sure..

2724: Laser Hair Removal, Fiber Intake, Turmeric & Joint Pain, Ozone & Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy, Breast Implants, TGF Beta 1 (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Cyn: Hello doctor Cabral! What are your thoughts on laser hair removal? Is it safe? thank you! Cyn   Greg: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for all that you do. I am a student of all that you teach and I greatly appreciate all the time and effort you put in to doing the research and sharing your knowledge. My question is regarding fiber intake. I maintain a healthy diet and track my meals daily. I have noticed that my daily fiber intake is 50-60g due to all the vegetables and other healthy foods that I consume. Is this too much? I understand that everything is based on bio-individuality but do you recommend a specific range for daily fiber intake? Thanks again for all that you do!    Leslie: As I get older, certain joints bother me after strength training, walking, etc. Not anything that stopping me from doing it, but definitely tell a difference some days. Are turmeric shots good for joint pain and recovery or would a supplement be more affective?   Andrea: Thank you for your podcast, so grateful for you! What is your opinion on ozone therapy and hydrogen peroxide therapy in regards to curing cancer. Thank you!!!   Anonymous: Hello! I got saline implants 10 years ago because I had extremely uneven breasts. I have learned about breast implant Illness and don’t know if I really have that but am just worried about toxic load on my body. I really don’t want to get them out because the unevenness is noticeable in shirts and bathing suits. Are there tests to check if it is negatively impacting my health or things to do to make sure it’s not? Thank you   Kate: Hi Dr Cabral, Recently, I got some blood work back and it showed a very high TGF Beta 1 number. I pointed this out to my doc who seemed nonchalant. This can’t be good. I googled and have mostly seen complex academic papers that are hard to understand.

2719: Don’t Do This When Planning Your Goals (MM)

Worrying is praying for what you don’t want…   This is one of my favorite quotes by Dr. Bruce Lipton and it is so powerful in helping us understand one key concept.   What we focus on in life is what becomes our life.   Whether or not you believe in the law of attraction it is important to understand that from a scientific perspective, we are all vibrational beings and the more we continue to tune into something, the more it shows up in our life.    So on today’s #CabralConcept 2719, I want to go over how being in a constant state of worry or anxiety is only perpetuating the cycle and how you can stop it and begin to focus on what you do want in your life - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2719 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2718: Tracking Digestion, Anxiety Medication, Sauna & Replenishing Minerals, Sleeping Temperature, Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am almost done with the CBO protocol and i am so grateful to you and your team for all the support and resources you offer. I have been tracking my elimination to assess how my digestion is doing. However, it is a but tricky for me because i sometimes can not tell what causes reactions. If i have a healthy elimination today, and an imbalanced one the next day, how do i know when i ate the food that cause the imbalance? How long does it take for the food to go through the digestive tract and become eliminated? I have been finding varied answers online.   Victoria: Recently I’ve had a lot of anxiety that appears to be mental, but also lack of sleep / my period makes it worse. I’ve started having panic attacks when I’m in environments where I feel “unsafe” due to chronic and persistent vertigo I’d have for 4-5 years now (had full vestibular testing, MRI, cut out food sensitivities, tried low histamine diet, no avail). I eat all organic and very healthy. Tried your CBO, I take your supplements, etc. It’s gotten to the point where I am thinking about considering anti anxiety medication, because otherwise I feel so stressed when even leaving my house. (I have very high cortisol) Do you think it could work if I tried the medication, used it to reset my nervous system, and then weaned off of it? I had lyme, mold in past and potentially a PTSD event   Erica: If I have a 2 high 2 low pattern on my HTMA test, would you recommend infrared sauna 4-5x a week? I have high levels of mold in my body and I’d like to start working on detoxing it out, but it seems like my sodium and potassium and both quite low and I’m wondering if it’s a good idea. With that being said, if I did sauna that much a week, how much sodium / potassium might you recommend I take daily to replenish? Thank you!   Marianne: Hello doctor Cabral, Thank so much for your time and allowing us to ask these questions. I have one about sleep: I usually feel a bit cold when I go to sleep, so I wear socks and use thick covers. However, I often wake up in the middle of the night, because I’m feeling too hot. So I’m really not sure how to deal with this. I can’t fall asleep if I’m too cold, but I keep waking up if I’m too hot. What would be your advice? Thanks so much! Marianne   Gillian: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am a 41 tear old woman and I've just found out i have Hydradenitis Supprativa. I want to avoid antibiotics, injections, hormones, etc. I'm currently beginning an elimination diet. Any other suggestions or products i can use would ve much appreciated.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Erica: Thoughts on Nu salt (potassium chloride) and the Bryan Johnson blueprint diet? Was thinking of following the Bryan Johnson Blueprint diet and I noticed he hardly uses salt, but nu salt instead. What are your thoughts on his diet as an whole and nu salt?   Anonymous: Hello Dr Cabral ! My husband (23) has been experiencing erectile dysfunction symptoms. we had his testosterone tested (385 ng/L) although it wasn’t below range his doctor mentioned it seemed to be on the lower end. He got a viagra generic on a however there really was not a noticeable difference. We had a follow up with his MD said he wouldn’t be able to do anything about it or refer us due to his testosterone level being within range. He has seeked therapy as recommended by his MD for the chance it “psychological” but it’s been 7 months and there has been no improvement. I’m concerned it’s due to something a lot more serious or an arterial insufficiency due to his slight high LDL cholesterol . Anything we can do with lab work that may help us figure this out? Thank you for your work!   Irma: Hi, Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all that you do to help us improve our health.!!! We just moved out of our home due to mold. We will have it cleaned up and are ordering your mold urine test. My question is do you think it’s safe to move back into this house after mold remediation? We do own our home but we are worried it may not be completely removed or that it may return. We have experienced some of the symptoms you mentioned before regarding mold exposure. Also what do you suggest in the meantime to cleanse or detox our bodies of this mold exposure? One of the molds found is stachybotrys and from what we hear it’s very toxic. Our bedroom had a high level. Thank you for your help!   Erin: Breakfast! I know you’ve mentioned the daily nutritional shake with some fruit in it is a great way to start the day and I have tried this for awhile but it just doesn’t seem to stay with me or give me the energy I need until lunch versus if I have some sprouted toast, couple eggs and some local pastured bacon. Any thoughts on this…should I just stick with the shakes and power through or is the toast/bacon/eggs ok?   Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral Thankyou for your continuation of educating and spreading so much knowledge to others. I am a fellow IHP 2. I wondered if you could share with me, if you know the benefits of the feets up stool used in yoga, where you place your head in the feets up stool and your legs are elevated and you can do various movements with your legs?

2711: Air Fryer, Shingles, Skin Moles, Low Thyroid, High Reverse T3 (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Madyson: Hi! very very simple question. What are your thoughts on the usage of an air fryer?   Julie: Dr. Cabral, Would you please give me your opinion on the shingles vacc? I'm 55 and have been encouraged to get it but am a bit hesitant. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! Julie   Kate: Hi, Love the podcast! I have a question about skin moles. I would like to understand what is the underlying root of why some people develop more moles as they get older or from the sun and why others do not. For example, my husband and I are both similar ages, spend about the same amount of time in the sun (mostly without sunscreen unless mid-day for extended periods), and have the same diet (very little to no seed oils or refined sugar). Yet, I have developed many moles and he very little. Why does my body produce this situation when others do not? Thanks for the information!   Tamara: I’m a 35 year old female who had radioactive iodine treatment for Graves Disease at 17, became hypothyroid, & have taken Synthroid since. In 2017, I began taking T3 medication in addition to Synthroid. My labs looked good until a year ago, when I begun to show a suppressed TSH (0.01-0.04 mU/L), a low/normal T4 (12 pmol/L) & borderline low T3 (2.5 pmol/L). After coming off of T3 medication, my TSH rose to 0.4 mU/L, but my T4 and T3 have not changed. What could cause all three values to stay low? If I can get my T3 and T4 into the optimal range, does my TSH matter? I ran the stress, mood & metabolism lab in Sept and my T3, T4 & TSH were within range at the time. I did, however, have high cortisol throughout the day. I've since done the FM detox, heavy metal detox & mold protocol. Thank you!!   Melanie: What is the cause of low/normal Free T3 but high Reverse T3 on a woman that has Hashimotos and is on thyroid medication? TSH is under 2 so it's normal.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2711 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2710: Appendix & Obstruction, Tapioca Starch Substitute, Armpit Odor, Gingival Fibromatosis, Benfotiamine (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Kari: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for all that you do! You're much loved. I recently landed in the ER with a ruptured appendix. Apparently, I had an obstruction (fecalith) that led to the inflammation and ultimate rupture. I'm 51, so this isn't common in my age group, and I eat incredibly clean. I literally follow the same diet you recommend and don't even do the cheat meals. I worked for four years to recover my gut, so this is heartbreaking in a lot of ways. My question is what could have caused the obstruction? From what I've read, it normally happens to those that eat more of a western diet and don't get enough fiber. I'm not constipated, eat plenty of fiber and honestly don't know what more I could have done. Thank you!!   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I listened to your podcast where you said tapioca starch is difficult to digest.. what would be a good substitute for it in recipes? Also, do you have a good substitute for nutritional yeast in recipes? Thank you so much and happy healing to everyone!   Sam: Dr. Cabral thank you so much for all that you do. Your work has helped so many people. I even tell my naturopathic doctor about things I learn on your podcasts. I have a very strange question. One of my armpits omits a very strong onion-y odor when I sweat. Until more recently, my body never produced much sweat in general. Now when I sweat, my right armpit will have a slight body odor, but my left will have a pungent onion odor. I have tried baking soda and antibacterial soaps, but the smell always returns. Do you have any recommendations to help what I assume is a bacteria or yeast imbalance in the affected armpit? (There are no other localized symptoms besides the smell, although I have had systemic issues with Candida, mold, and heavy metals in the past)   Anonymous: Hello! My question is about gingival fibromatosis. I'm not sure if that is what I am experiencing but after some googling I think it might be. I have always had a gummy smile and when I was in my late teen years I had surgery to fix it, where I was told that I had excess bone on my teeth and that gum grows over bone. So, they had to scrap off the excess bone for my gums to recede. This worked great and I was told as long as I floss and keep up on my oral health I wouldn't have anymore issues. However, now 8 years later I am starting to have a gummy smile again. I did some more research and it says this can be caused by hormonal imbalances, I do have PCOS so that makes sense. I am currently working with an IHP for my PCOS but I was wondering if you had any suggestions for my gummy smile.   Justin: What are your thoughts on Benfotiamine? I’ve never heard you talk about it, but have heard other functional medicine clinicians say it’s the one of the few beneficial synthetic vitamins. Also, I’ve heard that the reason B vitamins are yellow is because they are synthesized from sewer sludge, is this something you’ve heard of?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2710 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2708: Your Genetics Are Not Your Destiny (TT)

I was told I would never get better-   During my late teens and for most of my 20’s I had doctor after doctor tell me that I would only be able to manage the “dis-eases” that I had using a handful of daily medications to cover up the symptoms…   Luckily I chose not to listen to those doctors and continued to seek other opinions from natural health practitioners as to how I could fully heal.   With their help along with meeting my mentor, Dr. Peet, and reading thousands of books I finally figured out how to heal. I no longer have any diagnosed diseases and live a life of energy and optimal health.   Plus, I just got back my latest biological age test results, and my rate of aging is one of the lowest on record (.77 years for every 1 year alive). This is proof that even with “bad genetics” and a history of dis-ease you can overcome it all and thrive!   I invite you to join me today’s #CabralConcept 2708 where I share with you some of the amazing information I’ve learned that I believe will help you understand why your genetics are not your destiny - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!    - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2708 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

We can’t control everything that happens to us in life…   But we can control how we react and what lens we choose to view things through.   Many people go through life thinking they have no control over their circumstances, but in reality, our subconscious mind is reinforcing our worldview based on what we are giving our attention to.   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2705 I want to discuss why you need to be careful about what you are looking for in life so you can create the best future for you - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2705 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2704: Large Fibroids, Inflamed Toenail, Help for Hives, Sauna & UTI, SAAT (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Kate: What to do for very large 9cm & 8cm fibroids?   Sidney: Hi doctor Cabral, I have a thick, deformed toenail and the skin around it often gets inflamed, and hurts a lot. I read that the only thing that helps is removing the nail altogether, but I would rather keep it. Is there any way to make it healthy again, or to stop it hurting as much? Thanks so much for you answer! Best, Sidney   Kristin: I've been suffering from hives for a year. They started with what I thought was a spider bite on my scalp. A few weeks later I started getting itchy red hives all over my body. I have seen my general practitioner, dermatologist and allergist. I did a ton of bloodwork and they couldn't find any underlying issues or allergies. Prednisone cleared it up, but came right back when stopped. Zyrtec (at first 4 a day, now just 1 a day) cleared up the body hives, but heat and tight clothing bring them back. The itchy bumps on my scalp have never gone away. I have tried apple cider vinegar, avocado oil, coconut oil. I changed bedding, shampoos, etc. I don't know what else to do. Do you have any advice?   Eric: Hi Dr. Cabral. I’m a 64-year-old male that has struggled for many years with urinary tract problems (urinary tract stricture as a child that was surgically treated, recurring bouts of urinary tract irritation from various substances and stress, but never any indication of a UTI). Over the past several months I’ve been doing infrared sauna sessions 2X per week, which seems to make my urinary tract problems worse. I use a binder before each sauna session. Two questions: (1) Can a sauna session trigger a large jump in toxins being processed through the kidneys/urinary tract, including oxalate dumping (I’m high in oxalates on the OAT test)? (2) How would you suggest one treat irritation symptoms (raw feeling) in the urethra/bladder area? Thanks!   Jessi: I’ve searched the podcasts and can't find that you have ever spoken about the SAAT procedure specifically used for Alpha gal reactions. I've read several testimonials that it has greatly benefited people dealing with this frustrating affliction. Thank you for all your free resources and I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion on this subject.    Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2704 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2703: Essential Tremors, Polyester in Clothing, Coffee & Blood Sugar, Microbiome Pill, Toddler Gut Health, Citrus Pectin (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Marie: Hi Dr. Cabral -Thank you for the knowledge you share with your community. I've started listening to your podcasts a few months ago and feel like I'm finally on track with resolving autoimmune and gut issues. My question is on behalf of my 81-year old mother. She has essential tremors in her head/neck and hands. She experienced these around 20 years ago and they seemed to subside for 10-15 years and have resurfaced over the past few years. She used to be a vibrant and active person but over the past few years, the tremors have kept her from many activities. I was wondering if CBD gummies or other products might be helpful for her. She did experience a minor stroke in May 2022, but from what I understand, CBD gummies should have no adverse effects. Thank you for all your help!   Claudia: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcasts. They've been helping me so much in my journey to health. My question is about Polyester in clothing. I have been slowly switching over to 100% organic cotton and linen. I've noticed that the Equilife T-shirts are now a Polyester blend. I thought that Polyester releases toxins (even if it is recycled Polyester), especially when submitted to heat like the dryer or sweating. Could you please share your thoughts on this. Thank you so much for all your hard work that you put into these podcasts.   Nancy: Hi Dr Cabral I am enrolled in Level 1 and just completed the module on stress and blood sugar and I want to make sure that I understand - does black coffee causes blood blood sugar increase Thank you Nancy   Gemma: I read just today that the FDA has approved a pill for the microbiome (first time approval) called SER-109. I am curious to get your opinion on this and whether it is potentially effective for SIBO-C. I have been experiencing recurring SIBO-C despite all the probiotics and good eating habits and various testing to understand my body but somehow this smithii gut bacteria thing keeps coming back so im wondering if this is a suitable option for me. I am not a fan of antibiotics and not sure if this product is working in that manner. Please explain in English for me what this is doing.   Nicole: I’ve always had poor gut health. I’ve done labs and I am completing the protocols to finally get that taken care of. But, there is a good chance that I passed poor gut health down to my son (who is 15 months old). He has an egg sensitivity (he gets a rash and throws up when he eats eggs). He also has Eczema. He has received all of his vaccines in order to attend day care. He also had numerous rounds of antibiotics for ear infections prior to getting tubes. I gave him a probiotic with each round of antibiotics. And I only feed him organic, grass fed cow’s milk and organic, non-gmo, home cooked whole foods. Until I can run lab tests when he is 4 years old to address specifics, what else can I do for him in the mean time?   Marlyse: What are your thoughts about galactin 3 and the use of modified Citrus pectin?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2703 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2697: Bentonite Clay & Slow Gut, Low Cortisol & Fatigue, Retaining Information, Yohimbine HCL, Weight Gain & Gallbladder, Cancer Risk (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, Would you recommend Bentonite Clay for someone with slow gut motility/chronic constipation/gut cramping? Would it be fine to take Mimosa Pudica seeds with such conditions? I would be somewhat concerned about possible impactions. Thanks   Jennifer: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love all of the information you provide and trust and appreciate your guidance! I am a 48-year-old female with pretty regular cycles still. I recently had the Dutch hormone test and it showed that I have high estrogen and low progesterone and cortisol. I sleep well. I average 8-9 hours a night, with 1.5 hours deep sleep and 2 hours of REM. But I am tired throughout the day, and I always feel like I am in fight or flight. I started taking your progesterone support supplement, and I was taking adrenal soothe to help reduce my RHR - it averages around 80 even when sleeping. It was helping to lower my RHR, but I am concerned about my low cortisol levels and fatigue. Would adrenal soothe still be okay, and what about the adrenal energy support? Any feedback is appreciated.   Nana: Hi Dr. Cabral, I really admire your continuous pursuit of knowledge and sense of wonder. I was wondering, how are you able to retain information from all the books and articles you read long term?   Dani: Hi Dr Cabral, what’s your opinion on Yohimbine HCL for fat loss/ fatburner? Is it effective and safe? And if so , can you recommend a brand you trust? Thanks!   Ryan: In 2018 I had my gall bladder removed and my base weight shot from 185 to 205. I have found it extremely hard to rid myself of excess fat. I have done some intense programs that have had only minor & short term success. As soon as my protocols stop I return to my original composition. My PCM suggested markers of metabolic disorder, but my blood panels don’t show anything abnormal (such as thyroid issues). I am definitionally a kapha body type and can’t seem to make any progress. I’m told “ah, that’s just aging,” but I must believe I can still improve. Are there links to weight gain and gall bladder removal that can be mitigated? I’m a 32 year old, 5’9” male. I run semi-regularly and lift weights 4-6x per week and under the supervision trainers.   Suzanne: Hi doctor Cabral, I've been listening to a podcast, in which an MD was talking about different health risks of women who have never had children. He was specifically talking about a higher risk of breast cancer., etc. I'm in my mid forties and chose not to have kids, so I'm curious to hear your opinion about this. Is it true? And if so, what are the things that we can do in order to reduce these health risks?

2696: Trigeminal Neuralgia, Hemifacial Spasm, Cellulitis & Mosquitos, External Abscess, Nasal Irritation (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Diane: I was wondering if there is anything I can do for Trigeminal neuralgia?   Diane: How do you get rid of hemi facial spasm?   Talitha: Thank you for putting your podcast out there. It's led me to explore some new approaches to ongoing issues, and some of those new approaches are already working for me. My question: what would you suggest to prevent, or lessen the chances of getting cellulitis from a mosquito bite? Last summer, I started having a bigger reaction to mosquito bites, especially on my upper legs when bit through my clothing. I got large, red and hot circles 3-6 inches in diameter. Twice last year, those bites resulted in cellulitis requiring antibiotics. There are some aggressive mosquitos, and I use a number of ways to keep them away including yard treatments, environmental repellants and a lemon eucalyptus bug spray, but I get some bites anyway. I did the detox and will quarterly. Any other suggestions?   Matthew: Hi, I have asked a question concerning HIV last time. This time, I'd like to ask what I can do about an external anal abscess that came after I contracted syphilis. I don't know how long I had had the infection for because at the time I didn't have insurance and my physician (NP) told me he couldn't do any of my labs unless I paid up front, and at the time I didn't have the money. Once I found out after my insurance started, he did my regular labs, and stated my immune system continues to fight the HIV I contracted around 11/2021. He referred me to ID which was the same one for the HIV that he referred me too, which I don't have a good relationship with because they just want to push medications. MY NP listens to me and told me to go to health department which I was given PCN injections.   Elsa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been suffering from allergies and congestion for a long time now. I’ve been listening to your podcast for a while and have recently purchased the CBO protocol (for round two) and the mold protocol and am starting those now. With allergy medication I can usually get my sneezing and runny nose under control but I can never seem to get my congestion under control. I have tried GSE spray, Nasacort spray, and neti pot with citricidal drops and all of them irritate my nose like crazy- I sneeze a ton and my nose gets really inflamed and congested. I get really discouraged because I want to breathe through my nose and clear out any yeast or bacterial overgrowth there but can’t put anything in my nose without it getting irritated. Why do you think this is? Any advice?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2696 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2690: Bloodwork for Colon Cancer, RAIR, Fish Oil, Hypercalcemia & Dyspepsia, Shower After Exercise, Wood vs. Gas Fire (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Kelsie: Hi! Another question. Is there anything that will show up in bloodwork to indicate colon cancer?   Rosie: 38 y/o vata F, history of UC. 2012: colectomy and jpouch surgeries. Never felt well after. 2020: found the root of my issues was surgery done wrong. 2021-2023: 3 surgeries to redo the jpouch Feb 2023: ileostomy reconnection and now I cannot empty to use the bathroom. A mild stricture of scar tissue was found at the rectum and pelvic floor dysfunction including an absent RAIR(rectoanal inhibitory reflex). I literally don't feel the need to go to the bathroom and when I try to go I can't. Prune juice is getting me through the day. I started pelvic PT but curious how else to support healing, specifically reestablishing the RAIR. I also have lingering nerve damage on my abdomen from surgery 8 months ago. Could the 2 issues be connected? Im taking omega 3, d, NeuroRenew, magnesium and red light   Rocco: Hi Stephen! I take fish oil but my girlfriend keeps telling me to stop as it is not good for me as it is a polyunsaturated fat. Would love to hear your thoughts on this? Note I buy a high quality product that is from wild caught fish   Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, I've been diagnosed with hypercalcemia and dyspepsia by my GI. My latest blood work came back with calcium and glucose levels at over 11. I'm not finding any podcasts on this topic, so wanted to ask what you can recommend. I have an appointment with endocrinologist next month for this. I do take quite of magnesium including oxypowder (Oxygen based magnesium), full spectrum mag and mag glycinate powder, both from equilife, and calm mag. powder, all on a daily basis. I'm also currently taking vitamin K2 complex (mk7 and mk4). Despite all of this, I still find myself constipated on a daily basis with much stomach discomfort. I have also recently developed pain in my upper right gi, which I suspect could be gall bladder issues. Coffee enemas dont seem to help much. Thanks!   Brandy: When I exercise and don’t shower immediately, are the toxins in my sweat reabsorbed through my skin?   Erica: I tried searching through the podcasts but couldn't find one on this, so if you answered this before, sorry for the repetition! Anyways, I am currently planning some projects for my backyard and wanted to get a fire pit, and I see two main options: a wood fire pit or a gas fire pit. A gas fire pit seems more convenient for me, but I wanted to ask if you think this would have health ramifications. For example, I heard that indoor gas stoves have links to health issues, but then again the fire pit would be outdoors (more ventilation) and only used occasionally, so I just wanted to get your opinion on this.

2689: “Toxic” Vegetables, Malabsorption, Helping Others, Water Filtration Systems, IgG Testing, Blood in Stool (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Matt: Hello, I’ve been seeing/hearing a lot lately about how vegetables are bad for you because of certain defensive toxins they produce to protect against being eating. I see this a lot coming from the carnivore community. I was wondering if there is any validity to the claim that vegetables are “toxic”?   Nana: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks to you and your team, I am finally healing after years of chronic inflammation! I am currently on the CBO protocol and the diet has has helped curb some of the symptoms I had been having. However, I am still struggling with scalloped tongue, and thin hair and slow growing nails. I have been eating alot of fruits veggies, oils, and some meat, as well as daily smoothies but I don't see any changes. I am wondering if it is malabsorption of some kind, but I am not sure what next steps to take and I am not currently able to do any functional medicine tests. Any advice? Also, for someone prone to pitta imbalances, is it okay to eat histamine releasing foods like citrus if they are avoiding histamine rich foods like avocado and smoked meats?   Nana: Hi again, I had a question about how to support a loved one with an illness who isn't open to trying non-conventional medicine approaches, and isn't ready to change their diet. How do you help them get better when they aren't ready to do what it takes to get there?   Anonymous: Good morning! Could you recommend a couple of whole-house water filtration systems? They're a big investment so I would want to make sure I get the right one that actually does what it's supposed to do. Also, is it necessary to have both a water filtration and softener system (for health) or will just the filter do? Btw appreciate all that you do!    Paul: Hi Dr. Cabral, I appreciate all your work and I have a question about food sensitivity testing. There are multiple research papers indicating these tests do more harm than good due to multiple factors and can turn people off of eating healthy, nutritious foods simply because of an IgG antibody that was present at the time of the test. How do you coach IHPs to coach patients on results from these types of standard IgG tests? Thank you! Paul   Kelsie: Hi dr Cabral! I have had some constipation for a year or two. Recently I have had harder to pass stool and blood in stool. Would you recommend a colonoscopy in this situation?     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2689 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2683: Liver Flush & Colonic, Huperzine A, Cranial Facial Release, Root Cause of Styes, Enlarged Tonsils, Nattokinase, Serrapeptase, and Lumbrokinase (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, I was looking at your steps for doing the liver/gallbladder flush and had a few questions. You reference Andres Moritz on that protocol, but you don't include the step mentioning a colonic both before and after the flush. Maritz says that this is critical step to prevent toxemia and does not even recommend the protocol if one does not do the colonic at least once (the one after the protocol being most important). I was wondering why this step is omitted in the process you posted, and if you think it's necessary? Also, what are your thoughts on a home colonic kit? Should coffee be added to the colonic or should it just be distilled water? thanks   Kim: Could you do an ask Cabral on HuperzineA. Tim Ferris is talking a lot about it for rem sleep, etc. I would like to know your thoughts on the pros, cons and dosing. Cheers,   Tim: Hi Dr. Cabral, are you familiar with Cranial Facial release? I have always felt complete stuffiness and imbalance in my head and feel like I'm always clogged up. I also suffer from hemiplegic migraines. I recently heard of this cranial facial release and wanted to get your thoughts and insight. Thank you!   Eugenia: Hi Dr. Cabral, love your podcast, thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us. My question is regarding my 10 year old son who keeps getting styes/chalazions in his eyes. They are usually big and noticeable and they take a long time to heal and finally go away, but then another one appears. We treat them with warm compresses, but I'm wondering if he could have any deficiencies on vitamins/minerals or what's the reason they appear in first place. Could it be just stress from school? Thank you!   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for sharing your knowledge! I've had a similar health journey to you and struggled since I was a kid. Strep/pneumonia/endless sinus infections and was prescribed too many antibiotics. I've been on a healing path for a few years and with the help from your team I've seen great changes. Completed DCD, CBO, HMD, etc. I've gotten to a healthy weight and my seasonal allergies are pretty much gone. The one thing that hasn't changed is my tonsils are still very enlarged but not painful. I've listened and implemented your suggestions from other podcasts and know you helped your daughter with this too. I'm in my thirties now and my question is will I ever be able to shrink them since they've been swollen pretty much my whole life? Thanks for your input   Steven: Hi Doc. Can you go over the differences between nattokinase, serrapeptase, and lumbrokinase, regarding effects? Lumbrokinase seems to be much more powerful than the others, (specifically fibrinolytic) while the others are getting all of the attention. Why? Is serrapeptase better at removing biofilms/alleviation of pain? Where does one excel, where the others fail, or are less effective?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2683 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2682: Toned Triceps, Ningxia Red, Crohn's Support, DIM & HRT, Hearing Aids, Breathing & Stress (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Ciro: Hi Dr. Cabral.Thank you for all the knowledge that you share.I have a question about weight training. I'm a 45 years old male; weight 194 lbs. and 5ft 11. I have a fairly robust looking body/torso with good muscle percentage in general, but my arms look very lean in comparison to the rest of my body. My biceps get toned fairly easily but my triceps just won’t get toned. I don’t take any supplements with regards to muscle gain, but I do weight training (using YBELL training or CrossFit inspired exercises) 2 times a week and soccer once a week. I go to a gym now but have the YBELL’s at home as well. What would you recommend I look into? Which specific exercises do you recommend me doing so the arms will be more toned and specifically the triceps and shoulders?   Julia: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was wondering what your thoughts are on young livings Ningxia Red. They claim that “antioxidant drink is clinically shown to increase physical energy levels, improve sleep patterns, and reduce daily stress. It’s packed with powerful antioxidants to help against oxidative stress, support normal cellular function, and promote healthy energy levels.” Some people I know swear by it and drink it daily and it anted to know if it’s a good product. I searched the archive and couldn’t find anything on it. Maybe you can do a product review? Thanks!   Natalia: Hi Stephen - I’ve been listening to your podcasts for a couple months now and they have helped me so much and I’m implementing things as I go. I feel fantastic so far on a 14 hour fast etc, but I would love to know how I can help my partner who has Chrons - he had the bag for a year, he had the surgery - the bag was removed - but they anticipate he will have more surgery - I would love to avoid that - his diet recommendations are so different to what I know as ‘right’ for most people his diet recommended white bread, white rice, no vege skins etc. would you recommend he do a full lab test? He works hard all day - but he gets tired - I would just love to help go feel as energetic as I feel now - pls direct me to how I can help him - thanks   Samantha: Hello, I listen to the podcast all the time and it has helped me so much. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. My question is I have been told to stop taking DIM if I’m taking HRT. I only use the oestrogen gel as I have a Mirena coil fitted for progesterone. Please can you tell me if this is correct? Also please can you comment on hearing aids with blue tooth are they safe? Much appreciated. Samantha   Anonymous: Thank you for all you do! I've done a lot of work on my health (multiple DCD, CBO, HMD, take daily supplements, etc.). One thing I'm working on is getting into the parasympathetic more and lowering my slightly elevated heart rate. I've listened to podcasts on this subject and your interview with Patrick McKeown on how important breathing is. It seems every time I focus on my breath I feel more stressed. I've tried different breathing techniques, yoga and I make sure I'm not over oxygenating. It just seems to raise my heart rate and I haven't seen the relaxing benefits. Even when I try not to manipulate my breath and just move my focus to it, I feel the stress response. Any suggestions?

2678: Acid Blockers Rob You of These Essential Nutrients (TWT)

Acid reflux, like all things, has an underlying root cause…   Many people, however, have been told that the only remedy is to use an acid blocker, but unfortunately, this is just a band-aid approach applied by a sick-care medical system…   Acid is very important to our overall digestion as it helps to break down food and kill bacteria, parasites, and other things we don’t want to enter our body…   Without it, it’s like giving all sorts of “gut bugs” an open door to your digestive tract…   Additionally, if we are low on stomach acid our bodies are not able to properly process and extract nutrients that we need to function properly.   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2678, I want to go over the top nutrient deficiencies you might have if you are on an acid-based blocker - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2678 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2676: Hyperthyroidism, CREST, Vaginal Itching, Micro Current Point Stimulation, Pre-Surgery Preparation (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, I seem to be suffering from hyperthyroidism. I noticed you have courses on the thyroid, but most seem to be focused on hypo, rather than hyper. I have constipation just about every day where my bowels feel constricted along with what feels like vagus nerve irritation (electrical bangs going up the neck into the head) and occasional cloudiness in my urine 2 of my blood tests came back as over 11 MG/DL for calcium. My GI doctor has now referred me to an endocronologist, but I would rarther not take meds or have my parathyroid removed if it comes to that. Is there anything you can recommend to me? I should mentioned that I'm in my late 30's. and prolific seamoss eater. I'm taking your Fell spectrum mag. and vitamin k2 mk4+mk7, but only finding minor relief. Thanks   Mike: HI Dr. Cabral, Appreciate all that you do, your podcast & book started me on my healing journey back in November of 2022 and I hope to never look back. I've done testing through Equiilife and some work with your IHP's, as well as my local naturopathic doctor. I'm a 32 yr old, and I've had CREST for a little over a decade. I understand everyone has their own root cause, and Im working as hard as I can to uncover and fix my imbalances. However, I'm writing to see if you have had any success in working with clients who were able to completely overcome their symptoms of CREST/Schleroderma. I've yet to hear any success stories, and its a a condition that is never talked about. Would love to hear a podcast or just get some insight into what worked with your clients that had this dis-ease.   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I have been on a journey to find answers to vaginal and vulvar itch for years. I went the route of gynecology- they said I have lichen stenosis- told to take hormones.I didn’t really want to do that so I tried Chinese medicine there I tried yin care and some other supplements. Itch continues. I then went to a natural path and got estriol and some cortisol balancing. I used hydration ovals. This didn’t work. Throughout this 5 year journey, I did over the counter yeast treatments when I couldn’t cope for a couple of days or months of relief. Then I started protocols with your testing and health coach. Organic acids test pointed to elevated levels to suspect yeast. I did detox - Limited yeast/sensitive gut foods. Midway into probiotics symptoms are back. Now what? I need help!!   Nurse Coach Robbins: Thank you for all of the information that you provide the community, YOU are making a difference and are so appreciated! I would like to know your opinion on micro current point stimulation on acupuncture sites for overall pain relief, increasing vagal tone, and increasing heart rate variability.With appreciation for your guidance   Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral. Thank you so much this great podcast that you do. I have decided to get a mini tummy tuck/Mini Abdominoplasty with some liposuction above the umbilicus. I will not have my abdominal muscles tightened as the issue is more the hanging lower stomach and access fat in that area. What would you recommend me doing prior to the surgery and after? Surgery will take place mid-September this year. I did the 21-day detox in January and plan to do either a 7 days or 14 days detox before July. I have been told to stop taking my Cod Liver Oil 3 weeks before surgery. If a family member of your chose to do what I’ve chosen to do what would you recommend them doing? Thank you so much for your time I truly appreciate it.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2676 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2675: Uterine Fibroids, Lichen Planopilaris, Topical Retinol, Dutch Test, Serrapeptase, Silica Dust (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Buffie: Hi. I have been diagnosed with a uterine fibroid (10mm by 7 mm). I am a 51 year old woman and am approaching menopause. Is there any certain test or lab you recommend that I complete? I'm not sure where to start with this. Also, do you have any dietary recommendations? I eat mostly a plant-based diet, but do have chicken or beef on occasion (I don't like fish at all). I only recently found you on YouTube and have been listening/watching your show as much as possible.   J.M.: Hi Dr. Cabral! Firstly, thank you for everything that you do - your podcast has helped me so much and I always recommend my fmaily and friends listen to you to get their queries on their health answered. I have experienced very mild hair loss that I noticed after a very stressful time in my life, my trichologist advised I had telogen effluvium however it was combined with redness, scaling and itchy symptoms. my dermatologist suggested some creams/ointments/shampoos etc to try first. Eventually (this being approximately 2 years ago) symptoms went away and I assumed it was a bout of inflammation due to stress. Now it has returned so I decided to go through with the biopsy and it showed i have Lichen Planopilaris. Can you shed light on how i can manage this condition and prevent hair loss   Jasmine: Hi Dr. Cabral! First of all, thank you so much for all the free knowledge you provide to the world. I feel so empowered to take on health issues autonomously because of you and the information and trustworthy products you provide. My question is about topical retinol skincare products. These can be OTC or prescribed by a derm, which would namely be Tretinoin. I have seen so many people have incredible results with retinol/vit-a derivatives. It almost seems too good to be true. What are the side effects, if any? Is it safe to use? Thank you!   Emma: Hi Dr Cabral Thank you so much for everything you do! My question is regarding the DUTCH hormone test. I have heard you say that you don't use it, and that it isn't as reliable as the saliva test, which I completely understand and respect. However I hear many functional medicine practitioners and doctors who do use it say why they love it, and the main reason being that they can see which pathways certain estrogens are going down (2OH, 4OH, 16OH) Eg- they may see that E1 and E2 are going down the 4OH pathway (being associated with DNA damage and breast cancer) and methylation. Isn't there benefit of knowing that information to then dive deeper into why that's happening as opposed to the saliva test which doesn't show that information? Thank You!   David: Good morning, I’d like to get some info on using Serrapeptase for reducing high blood pressure. Thank you.   Chris: Hi doctor Cabral. Absolutely love anything you are doing for the world. I just have a question regarding silica dust. I work in construction and although I do everything I can to prevent inhaling the dust, it is extremely hard to keep myself from breathing in some dust every day. I know how deadly silicosis can be and was wondering if there were ways that I could help rid the body of any built up silica dust in my lungs? I was also wondering if there was a lab/test that would indicate if I had high levels of silica in my body?

2669: Next Steps, Pinguecula, Bromine Rash, Gluten & Dairy, Swollen After Exercise (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Anonymous: Hello… I’ve done the FM detox, followed by CBO and now on my 3rd month of CBO finisher… I have fibromyalgia and thought that my symptoms would subside but they didn’t… I also still have arthritis pain in my fingers, and all other chronic pain that moves around in my body without any logic to it… I also still have a white coating on my tongue and vaginal thrush, sometimes it gets very itchy and smelly, I guess it depends on what time in the month it is depending on my period… I was following the protocols and diet (I eat quite healthy anyway)… Do you have any suggestions? Why am I not feeling better after? What to do now?   Kayla: Hi, I was wondering if you’ve ever helped anyone with Pinguecula. I’ve seen the eye doctor and they said there is nothing to get rid of it, just to wear glasses and use eye drops. I eat paleo, am on a prenatal, magnesium, probiotic, omegas, and workout regularly. I’m trying to heal menstrual problems right now, but other than that I am healthy. Any advice would be awesome! Thank you!   Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was hoping you could help me with this reaction my daughter is having every time she gets into a hot tub treated with bromine. Her skin breaks out in a rash that is similar to eczema. It is extremely painful, and itchy, and is all over her torso, back, arms, and legs. The rash persists for 4 to 6 weeks at a time, depending on the severity. This reaction only happens in hot tubs treated with bromine, not as much with chlorine. Have you ever seen this before? Would you recommend us do the heavy metals test, and maybe the stress and mood test for her thyroid? What else? Thank you in advance for answering this question.   Hope: I recently got diagnosed with hypothyroidism and osteoporosis. I took Prilosec for over 20 yrs. I hear from different MD’s that gluten and dairy is a NO. My questions are: 1…is fermented milk ok?Like Kefir, yogurt? 2…is gluten di to the new GMO wheat? Are ancient grains ok to consume? 3..I also hear No to rice potatoes, oatmeal, and coconut oil. I consume these products regularly. Please, help me with this frustrating and confusing subject. Thanks.   Erin: This happens to me when i have been active a lot the day before…I wake up feeling puffy and swollen. I know I’ve consumed plenty of electrolytes that day before so what would Cause this? What can I do to prevent this? I really appreciate the input!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2669 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2668: Sodium to Potassium Ratio, Frank's Ear, Fish Oil vs Cod Liver Oil, PTFE, Fingernail Moons, Toxic Chocolate (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Erin: Hi Dr Cabral, I have extreme salt cravings part of which are due to adrenal issues and the other thing. I just enjoy the flavor profile I have always preferred highly salted food. I had been experiencing swollen eyelids in the morning and then I heard it often times it’s not about how much sodium you intake but instead your sodium to potassium ratio. I started taking potassium in the form of cream of tartar mix into my magnesium sweet drink before bed, and it seems to be working as a swelling has reduced. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the sodium potassium ratio, and whether you can balance that are really need to reduce salt intake?   Burg: Hey Doc, love your work. After a routine visit to the doctor, he noticed a crease in both earlobes and said that it might corollate to heart issues. It's called “Frank's Ear". I am 58 and overweight. I have noticed a loss of connective tissue (loose wrinkly skin) over the past few years. Any thoughts would be appreciated.   Marina: Hi Dr Cabral, I’d like to know the benefits of fish oil vs cod liver oil. Cod liver oil has vit a and d however you say that EPA to DHA of 2:1 is best, cod liver oil doesn’t seem to meet this. When should we pick one over the other? Or supplement with both? Thank you   Anonymous: Hi, dr. Cabral.. My boyfriend bought these expensive pans from Hexclad because “even Gordon Ramsey uses them” and they are advertised as non-toxic.. I wrote an email to them and they said that of course they use PTFE to make them non-stick and that US FDA certified it for use in many applications including medical implants and cookware.. After listening to your podcasts I believe it’s still toxic to our bodies, but not sure if you’ve used the name PTFE.. Can you please tell us your opinion on it?   Lara: Hello, dr. Cabral.. I went to an Ayurvedic doctor who said I was a pitta by looking at my fingers and nails.. I’m wondering about two things that he said: - the moons on the fingernails shouldn’t be visible- if they are, there’s a problem with corresponding organs - chocolate, even raw cacao is poison, because there is a scarcity of it in the world and it would have to be extremely expensive if it was natural.. in his opinion it is all made in a lab.. Could you please give your opinion on both? Thank you so much and happy healing to everyone!    Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2668 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2662: Zinc to Copper Ratio, Detox Meal Timing, Painful Stool, Sleeping with Mouth Open, Macular Atrophy, Preventive Eating (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Whitney: Hi Dr. Cabral, My question is regarding my zinc to copper ratios. On the HTMA test my zinc was wildly off the charts at 335, and copper was at 1.5. Zn/ Cu ratio is 223.33. I double tested to be sure I got a good sample and it’s legit. I also then tested my blood serum levels and they were in normal range (zinc 87 / copper 103). Any idea what is going on and if/how I should take copper alone and avoid zinc ? I do have these white hairs coming in that are very course which is strange for my genetics (I’m 35 year old female, brunette). I’m also a little hypothyroid, cold hands and feet. The most obvious culprit to me is that I wear mineral (zinc based) sunscreen daily (I work outside). All the sunscreens I use claim to be non nano zinc but maybe they are still absorbing? Thanks SO much!!!!   Joyce: Hi! I am waiting to receive my 21 day detox kit and my question is about the hours I should be "eating" on days 3-7. I get up usually around 8am so my first shake will be at 9am, lunch at 12:30pm, 2nd shake at 4pm and dinner at 7:30pm. The problem is that 7:30pm is too late for me to eat. Is it possible to modify these times so that I am not eating dinner at 7:30? Can I interchange the 4pm shake with the 7:30pm dinner? Please help before I get started on this program. I am looking forward to feeling better! Thank you, Joyce   Kelsie: Hi Dr Cabral. Recently I have had some constipation with very large stool. It ends up causing bleeding and is very painful to pass. I’ve tried upping fiber and it doesn’t help. Any tips?   Jillian: My question is regarding my almost 2.5 yr old daughter. On and off since birth she has slept with her mouth open. This has gotten worse to where she sleeps with it open almost always for about 6 months now. She snores which interrupts her sleep and during the day seems to keep her mouth open while playing/running. Her voice is also a bit nasally. Despite this she does not get sick often but when she does get a cold the extreme mucus seems to last a month or more. Her doctor recommended she take Zyrtec nightly to see if it’s an allergy issue and also recommended us for a sleep study. The Zyrtec does seem to help with the night snoring and coughing. My question is 1) are there long term affects of taking Zyrtec regularly? And 2) do you rec removing tonsils/adenoids? What do you rec for this?   Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral thank you so much for all that you do. My 15 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with macular atrophy. The doctors are suggesting that it is genetic and there is nothing that can be done to improve her condition. Also there is a possibility that her eyesight could continue to decline and she could go blind. I wanted to see what supplements you recommend that help with her eyesight. Thank you!   Alan: I have a problem that I constantly eat preventively so I never feel hungry because I’m afraid of painful hunger pains. As a child there was little food at home and I received NYC public school free lunch which has small portions or not editable leaving me hungry First, I would like the ability to eat only every 3 hours Second, do others have this issue?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2662 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2661: Silica Dust, Dinnerware, Oura Ring Settings, Gut Health & Fibroadenoma, Chest Vibrations, Fluoroquinolone Toxicity (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Chris: Hi doctor Cabral. Absolutely love anything you are doing for the world. I just have a question regarding silica dust. I work in construction and although I do everything I can to prevent inhaling the dust, it is extremely hard to keep myself from breathing in some dust every day. I know how deadly silicosis can be and was wondering if there were ways that I could help rid the body of any built up silica dust in my lungs? I was also wondering if there was a lab/test that would indicate if I had high levels of silica in my body? Thanks for everything you do Chris   Tamara: HI DR. Cabral Can you tell me is it safe to eat off of Cornell brand plates and bowls? Thanks for all you do!   Amy: Hello Dr. Carbral! I have a Oura ring, but I feel like I'm not using it to its full capability. Where is the best place to find info on healthy parameters (HR, HRV, sleep time, etc)? Thanks!   Anonymous: Hi doc! Been gung ho on natural health for about 5 yrs. Threw in 100% with you about a year ago after binging your podcast for a year. Been through many of your protocols with little progress with my gut, still100% committed to the protocols & living a healthy lifestyle. I struggle a lot with stress anxiety & low mood. I had a 6in fibroadenoma removed from my left breast in 2014 & lately I feel like it’s coming back. Large lump on the back of my left shoulder for 10 yrs. Also within the last year I’ve grown a mobile grape sized lump on the back of C6. Gut lymph dumping grounds perhaps? Been working so hard following everything to the T, so why is my gut not healing & what’s with all these lumps especially if the body regenerates within a year? Stress? I get so frustrated & scared. Thanks!   Nicole: Hi! I've suffered from a strange vibration in my chest that comes with each heartbeat. It started a few months ago & initially only in the evenings. Now I'm having it most of the day except while lying down & resting. More recently I've also developed some random come & go twitches in my leg, eye lid, arm & vibrations that come & go in my ankle and hip. I've seen doctors, run tests of all sorts including HTMA & all look fairly good. I've been to a cardiologist who after doing testing diagnosed me with mild mitrial valve prolapse, mild regurgitation & mild mitrial valve thickening. He says he's not concerned & I shouldn't be having these symptoms from it. My thoughts are possibly my nerves have become sensitive due to recent stresses & maybe dysautonomia? What are your thoughts on this?   Aly: Hi Dr. Cabral, is it possible to heal from Fluoroquinolone toxicity, or is this something that can permanently damage mitochondria and therefore something that has to be managed for the rest of my life? I was disabled by Cipro for 6 months, and I can now walk short distances. I still have tendon and ligament damage in my neck, elbows, knees and Achilles. I'll do anything to heal--hot and cold therapy, supplements, morning sunlight, diet changes, and more.

2658: Heavy Metals Linked to Brain Aging, Alzheimer’s & Learning Disabilities (WW)

Many people believe that aging itself is a “dis-ease.”   But what we need to understand is that as we age every other “dis-ease” of the body and brain becomes accelerated due to our bodies inability to maintain equilibrium as it did when we were younger.   Overtime our rain barrel fills up with things like heavy metals and this shows up as a diagnosable “dis-ease” when we get older.   So today I want to share with you a research study that provides insight as to how heavy metals affect the body and brain and what you can do to avoid them.   Join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2658 where we are going to go over how heavy metals are linked to brain aging, Alzheimer’s & learning disabilities- Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!    - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2658 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2655: Making Small Changes, Panuveitis, Bad Acne, Liver Support, Unsweetened DNS (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Brandy: Hi! I have recently become a huge fan and I am thinking about becoming certified in your program. My question is about my father. He had a severe reaction to the yellow fever vacc several years ago and it caused brain swelling that took doctors months to figure out. He then was put on high levels of steroids, which then lead to Diabetes. Knowing what I know now, I think he has parasites (from all of his crazy travel places), h-pylori, Candida, SIBO all while getting sick constantly and taking forever to get over it. He won’t change his diet but has recently made some changes in taking Omega 3’s, CQ10 and NAC (this is huge progress) What would be a low hanging fruit (other than diet) that I could make him a believer in functional medicine that could spark some changes in him moving forward. I am sure taking the Big 5 would be the best place to start, however, I need to start very small. I am hoping for a suggestion for a supplement or something to that nature that people tend to see noticeable improvements from. Something like Zinc Picolinate or something that may help with blood sugar, blood pressure, mitochondrial function etc. Again, thank you in advance.   Demetria: Hi, I have been dx with PanUvitis. The doc says my vessels in my eye are leaking ingredients, so I have blurry vision. This started showing up about 4 years ago. Have you dealt with this type of issue? The doc says I have a autoimmune issue that is causing this, but is unable to give me answers to what it is, even after boold work.   Heather: Hi Doctor Cabral, Thanks as always for all you do! I’m a little confused about my acne situation. I used to have really bad acne as a teenager, went on birth control for it which cleared it up, then got off birth control two years ago and my skin was clear for about nine months. I started getting a little acne here and there, mostly bumps and blackheads around my chin and jawline, on my right side of my face specifically, that turned into under the skin zits. I then did the 7-day detox followed by the CBO Protocol and heavy metal detox while incorporating Equi.Life hormone supplements. After all that, now my chin and jaw acne is now on the left side of my face instead of the right side. I feel a bit helpless, would love some help here :)   Sarah: I recently got results from a hormone test - estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are all very low. Cortisol is through the roof all day long. Liver isn't detoxifying as it should, which is suspected why I'm not able to produce enough hormones. Any tips on how to support my liver? I weight train 5x a week and am active. Eat a wide variety of whole foods and fibre daily, hit my macros. No alcohol or smoking. I've supplemented with lglutamine for years, tried milk thistle etc but remained the same. Main symptoms - acne, hair loss, lethargic and low energy, brain fog   Whit: Would you /have you ever considered making an unsweetened DNS powder ? I love making a smoothie with the DNS and berries but it is just way sweet for me if I add any fruit at all to the DNS even if the lowest sugar berries. Would love to be able to sweeten the smoothie with whole fruit alone. I tried adding things like cranberry and pomegranate powder to give it more tart flavor to offset the sweet and also tried adding salt but it’s still too sweet for me. Maybe I’m the only weird one with this issue ?

2654: Growing Pains, Tongue Issues, Joint Replacement & Heavy Metals, Statins, Long Haulers, Meal Delivery, Longevity Supplements (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Matt: My Daughter, age 8 has a history of always having aches and pains growing up - leg pain, knee pain, has had transient synovitis in her hip x 2 - often times has to sit down or rest when every other child is playing and running around without an issue - every test she has ever had done as been negative - multiple lymes tests, spine XRAY,, femur/tibia XRAY, blood work multiple times. She recently came up low on Vit D with a level of 21.0 ng/ml (currently supplementing) - all aches and pains attributed to growing pains since no cause was found (she has always been tallest in her class - 90 % and up in height generally). since October of 2022 she has been sick off/on - pattern of congestion, followed by headache/looking pale and then fever that lasts 2-3 days. Where do you suggest we start??   Kim: I've been looking at the things you have on pintrest and I have to tell you personally I think the tongue is a forgotten part of the body! I have alot of problems with my tongue, burning, painful bumps, discoloration and the only answer I get is a very expensive prescription for "magic mouthwash" there has to be a reason why this has been happening to me most of my life (I'm 59) I'm hoping you might have some answers PLEASE   Jeanie: are there any podcasts on joint replacement and heavy metals are there any podcasts on the risk of taking statins (specifically) I have listened to all the podcasts on lowering cholesterol. I need something on the negative affects of statins if available   Weylin: Hey Dr. Cabral, any recommendations on individuals struggling with long-covid? Any specific supplements we should be taking?   Nicole: Hi:) Thank you so much for all you do to help people. I am 44 years old and for the 1st time, feel like I am learning on how to make sensible, healthier choices for myself and family. Are there any meal delivery services you suggest for dinner a few nights a week? Thank you   Erin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm so grateful for you and your team. The amazing work you do to transform our world into a better, brighter place is so inspirational and has lit a fire in me too to do the same! Thank you for being and spreading your light!  I'd love to hear your thoughts regarding using products from the longevity line specificially inflammasoothe, cell boost, daily vision and daily hair support within a specific supplement budget. In your opinion is it best to do 1/2 of the dosage every day of all products or do one month "on" taking 2 of the supplements at full dosage and then one month "off" and switching to 2 different supplements? (Rotating between the supplements at a lesser dose) I feel I can use the benefits of all of them. Interested in your thoughts and advice.

2648: Vitamin D Controversy, Breastfeeding & AutoImmune, Candida Overgrowth Symptoms, Mediator Release Test, Overwhelmed by Results (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Lindsey: Hello Dr. Cabral, I would love to pick your brain on a controversial Vitamin D question. I have always followed the integrative/holistic/naturopathic view on Vitamin D and the idea that low levels can be part of the chain reaction of root cause issues for many dis-eases of the body. However, I recently listened to a XXXXX podcast episode with XXXX about Vitamin D levels and supplementation that made a lot of sense even though it contradicts everything every respected Integrative doctor has ever thought about vitamin D. If you are familiar with his explanation, I’d love to hear your thoughts. If not, it’s a suggested conversation topic for a future episode vastly different than the other vit d podcasts in the past.   Lindsey: Hello again Dr. Cabral - one more question to have a conversation about. I am breastfeeding and I wonder about future autoimmune issues for my baby. If I comprehend the autoimmune theory correctly, when the gut is leaky, proteins cross the lining and the body sees them as invaders creating an autoimmune response that expresses in the weak part of your individual body. This is very simplified. Since babies are born with permeable guts, can proteins go through my milk to do this. I am specifically worried because I have MODY or Type 1.5 diabetes. Since dairy in babes can cause type 1 diabetes, if I eat dairy will that do the same through my milk for the baby? What about allergen introduction? They suggest to do the big 9 within the first year. If one is a trigger, will it create AI?   Caitlin: I will try to keep this short: How do I know if I am suffering from candida overgrowth or just have a lot of the common symptoms of it for different reasons? I have severe eczema/dermatitis on my hands. I have suffered from this for years, on and off. I am working in a restaurant again, which has worsened it, but I know that my poor gut health in the past has played a role and steroid withdrawal. have for the last year and a half took major steps to improving my health Basically, I have the skin issues, I have yeast infections sort of often, and now I am experiencing dry scalp. Could this just be a few things happening at once and because it’s winter? (I live in New York). I’m sorry for the lengthy message and understand if you can’t answer on the podcast. Thank you for all you do.   Ales: Hello Dr. Cabral. I am an Integrative Health Practitioner L2, and I have question regarding food sensitivity testing. There seems to be newer version of testing called MRT (Mediator Release Test), which unlike IgG (testing for only type III sensitivity), is testing for type IV sensitivity. They claim that when the T-cells identity a food as harmful, they release mediators such as cytokines, histamines, and prostaglandins, causing inflammatory symptoms. Since MRT apparently measures the release of mediators from WBC and these mediators are proinflammatory chemicals, which leads to chain immune reaction, wouldn't it a much more accurate way to test for food sensitivities? Thank you for your thoughts..   Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - I've been working with a local functional medicine doctor and I found out I have 2 MTHFR gene mutations, high estrogen (testosterone and progesterone look good), high cortisol, APOE3/E4, low dopamine, high oxidative stress, AA/EPA is high, low MCHC, a marker for celiac disease, strep in my gut (no parasites) and my IgG and IgM are both very low. My FM dr is telling me to find an immunologist. I'm thankful to have all of this information but I'm feeling overwhelmed. I wanted to reach out for any specific advice you can provide with this info (nutritionally, testing, exercise, etc). Are there certain foods I shouldn't eat with MTHFR gene mutation or high estrogen?

Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hi Doc! Asking for a 36 year old male. He ran the big 5 last year. I’m not sure on the particulars of his results, but I know he has done the detox CBO. Chronic back pain, a reverse curve in his neck shown in chiropractic X-rays. Chronic high blood pressure. Healthy weight, exercises diligently, healthy whole food plant based diet, fairly decent sleep, regular corrective chiropractic care. We recently pieced together that he has systematic vein problems. Temporal Arteritis (self diagnosed), Vericose veins, hemorrhoids, and Varicocele of the scrotum. What would cause this and how can we support his venous/circulatory system? He’s been dealing with the varicocele since teen years. Left temple vein pain came a couple of years ago as a result of excessive Wim Hoff breathing. Thanks so much!!   Anonymous: Hi dr cabral, I wanted to ask you about your thoughts on raspberry leaf tea to reduce painful period cramps. I have painful periods and I’ve heard that raspberry leaf tea can help ease the pain. Do you have any studies that you can share regarding this? I’d really like to get your insight on how I can reduce period pain. Thank you.   Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m an IHP2 and I have a friend who has a daughter who has suffered for over 2 years. I have not worked with them yet. However I think this case needs more expertise. She frequently gets lockjaw and it’s also osteomyelitis of the jaw, jaw infection, scar tissue from two surgeries, jaw bone deterioration. She’s also a bit auto immune. We’ve seen 4 different naturopaths, 15 different doctors, holistic and regular, mental therapists, all kinds of different western and eastern type of doctors. It’s really tough because everyone really doesn’t know. They are doing myofunctional + oral posture work currently. She has gone from being vibrant and happy to hurting and shy.   Ana:  Hi Doc! What are your thoughts on onions and garlic? I'm aware that they're not CBO approved but if someone doesn't have any candida or bacterial overgrowth or any other digestive issues, do you think they should be avoided?According to Ayurveda, onion is tamasic (makes people irritable, agitated and aggressive) in nature and garlic to be rajasic (energy-draining, disturbed sleep and drained energy) in nature. As per Ayurveda, both these ingredients produce excessive heat in the body. However, these vegetables are highly recommended in Naturopathy because raw, crushed garlic has potent therapeutic benefits and red onion for example has loads of antioxidants including quercetin. How often do you consume those foods if you don't mind me asking? Once a week or more regularly?    Lindsey: Hello Dr. Cabral, I know you will have an answer to this question. I have asked 3 naturopaths, my midwife and pelvic floor therapist and none have ever done this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I had a c-section last October and wanted to use proteolytic enzymes to work on the scar tissue in my body. Any issues you see? Can I do it while breastfeeding? Recommended dose? Also, what would you use to strengthen (or make more elastic) the tissue in my uterus, so that I may have less issues in that area if I want to have another baby via VBAC? Thank you for your insight.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2647 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2641: Food Sensitivity & Detox, Sleep Setting Measurements, Physique Competitions, Teeth Whitening, Detox From Mold & Overgrowth, Boiled Water & Aluminum (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Daisy: I’d love to try the detox program but it contains foods I have severe reactions to (not sure if anything is sourced from corn bc that is debilitating for weeks it so), rice causes intense fatigue I can’t even keep my eyes open, pea protein irritates my knees and gut, etc. how can I heal myself when the treatment would hurt intensely?   Luanna: Hello Dr. Cabral! I hope you are doing well, and thank you for all you continue to give to the community you created! I would like to know if you have an opinion on the new Sleep Staging Beta setting on the Oura ring. Do you know what it measures and why it is different than the original settings? My deep deep and REM numbers in Beta are less than they are in the original setting. Do you have new ideal deep sleep and REM numbers for us with the Beta? Thank you Luanne   Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, What is the harm that could result in doing a bikini/physique competition? I’ve heard it could destroy your metabolism and cause other issues. Are there any benefits to doing one?   Becky: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted your opinion on the teeth whitening system by Primal Life Organics that uses red/blue LED light to whiten teeth. They claim it will not damage the enamel and will strengthen teeth as well as whiten them. They use Hydroxyapatite, PAP, olive oil, bentonite clay and essential oils. Thanks   Mallory: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been detoxing from mold and fungal overgrowth for that was misdiagnosed as a child and, needless to say, it has been quite the journey. So far my journey has included herx-types reactions with even just the smallest dose of a binder or anti-fungal. Do you have recommendations on how to limit herx reactions? I went to a friend's house the other evening and she made a meal with a good deal of tapioca starch, is it possible that this acted as a binder in my body? I seemed to detox very heavily for three days after. Also wanted to ask if you've heard of DNRS, Annie Hopper's neuroplasticity program? Have you seen chronically ill patients benefit from a program like this? Thank you so much for all you do and for your dedication to helping people get well!   Lidia: Hello, I drink approximately 4-5L of water a day. I enjoy hot water much more than cold and/or room temperature water. Therefore, I tend to boil the majority of my water intake in a stainless steel kettle. Can this much boiled water contribute to the amount of aluminum found in my Hair & Mineral test?

2640: Fasting & Stress, Swallowing Pills, Overexercising, Weightlifting & Intestinal Permeability, Micro-dosing Psilocybin (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Christine: Dear Dr. Cabral, Thank you! As my interest in holistic health has grown, I have listened to many podcasts and yours has moved into my favorite spot. You give valuable information and I trust your intentions and integrity. Very inspiring! I did your stress and hormones test, and was able to talk to an IHP. One thing that stood out is that my cortisol levels are high and I should likely avoid intermittent fasting as it is a stress on my body. I am almost 54 years old and still in perimenopause. However, there is a lot of family history of cancer and other disease, I don’t want to miss out on the benefits of autophagy. Is it possible to fast and counteract that stress with supplements such as ashwaganda or anything else?   Christine: Dr. Cabral, this is my second question submitted today so I understand if you can’t answer it. I wondered if you’ve ever been able to help people with a phobia to swallowing pills. I am embarrassed to say that I am 54 years old and still need to have food to swallow my vitamins. Imagine my horror when I went to the oral surgeon iand before the procedure could be done, they handed me a huge pill to swallow. They all searched in their lunch.bags for crackers or something, and in the end, I just chewed the pill (yuck) and swallowed it. So many people have tried to help and love to show off when they can swallow a handful of pills at once. I just can’t get over this phobia.   Diane: My husband and I are 47 years old. We workout 7 days a week. Everyday we run 2-4 miles, then do a 15 minute rowing interval workout, then do strength training, and then go in the sauna for 20 minutes. Although at times we feel like this intense exercise may be doing more harm than good, we also don’t want to short change ourselves and not do everything possible to stay fit and in shape. Are we being less effective by doing as much as we are doing?   Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I heard recently on a bodybuilding podcast that heavy weightlifting sessions can result in systemic inflammation throughout the body and increased intestinal permeability, and therefore anything you ingest at this time might make its way into the bloodstream. The conclusion was that anything you regularly consume during or immediately after a heavy workout might result in the body forming intolerances to that substance. Is there any validity in these claims? I’m conscious that the things I ingest around workouts (glutamine, fruit, WPI) are staple supplements and foods for me, and I don’t want to form intolerance! PS I suffer from intestinal permeability and IBS so this is a particular concern for me. Thanks!   Ryan: First, I would like to thank you for taking the time to provide our community with The Cabral Concept, it's such a wonderful free resource on all things health. Your podcast has helped me in my personal journey as well as helped me learn and be better able to pass on my knowledge to friends and family. My questions have to do with microdosing psilocybin, brain health and neurogenesis. What is your take on it and do you have any strong objections to it, besides the legality? If you were to microdose, would you suggest taking any additional supplements to help, such as the Stamets Stack (psiloybin, lions mane and niacin) or any supplements to support any depleted nutrients?

2634: Issues with Mold, Where to Start, H. pylori Reoccurrence, Psoriasis, Costochondritis, Clean Skincare (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Joey: Hi, in your experience when clients have issues due to mold how long does it take once they move out of the moldy environment to start feeling better.   Holly: Hey! I’ve been listening to your podcasts they’re amazing. I listen between clients when I’m walking etc. I’ve been on a mission for so long because my body is inflamed I know I have sibo leaky gut and candida. I have numerous allergies sinus infections etc. in fact I have that much I’m just wondering would you recommend anything in a particular order like detox first ? Just because I think I’d benefit from that all it’s hard to chose.   Erica: What causes reoccurring H Pylori infections? I got rid of mine about 3 years ago following your protocol and I appear to be positive again. Thanks in advance!   Kerri: Hi I love your podcast listen almost everyday. I’m on a strict carnivore diet for psoriasis that I’ve been on for 2 months now. I just quit using betamethasone after using it for many months. I’ve only cheated on my diet one weekend each month with dairy free sugar free ice cream. Why am I not seeing improvement yet? Is it TSW or maybe the little cheats I did are slowing progress? Thank you soo much for all your do.   Kate: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’m 52 years old female, pretty healthy and fit. I eat low carb diet, take nutritional support daily, workout at least 4-5 times a week, do intermittent fasting 16-8. However, this so the second time I get very sharp pain in my chest exactly in the middle of my chest. It lasts for weeks. The first time I had this I got scared that I might have a heart attack. I went to the doctor, did all the tests but they didn’t find anything (fortunately). Seems like I was healthy. Now several years later I have the same thing. I was searching up the internet, and I found the name costochondritis which seems to match all the symptoms I have. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again. I was also wondering if my exercises could’ve caused that.I do Pure Barre mainly   Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral. I was so excited to see that Beautycounter was on your website under resources.

2633: Protocol Results, Dizziness, EOE, Green Tea vs. Green Tea Extract, Soy and Sunflower Lecithin, Blepharitis & Tinea Versicolor (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hello I’m sure you’ve had clients before who have not got the results from the detox and CBO they expected. I just finished with CBO and have been taking the CBO finisher for 10 days now.. but I got a yeast infection in the vaginal area (I think I’ve had it for a looong time now) and in the last month of the CBO it just got a lot worse. The smell is very pungent and overwhelming and there’s a lot of itching in the area. On some days it gets worse and I get UTI pain. It’s very frustrating because I thought I would be feeling a lot better but overall it’s all still the same.. Skin rashes, fibromyalgia symptoms, RA, anxiety, chronic pain, bloating, etc.. What would you recommend? Thank you so much, I trust your advice over anything!   Erica: Hi Dr. Cabral I wanted your advice on an issue I've been having for 5 years now. I have this dizziness that is constantly there (rocking on a boat) and gets worse under stress. I'm seeing a ND currently that tried increasing my potassium, but didn't help. I also checked out my upper cervical spine and that's fine. My ENT suspects it has something to do with my central nervous system based on her tests. Knowing that info, what would you do? I did all the big 5 labs, and I have SIBO, h pylori, 2 high 2 low minerals, high cortisol, DHEA, testosterone, estrogen dominance, high mold, viral issues. Also had chronic lyme in the past. I feel like I keep cycling with doing this functional medicine work to no avail. I've improved a lot but the dizziness hasn't gotten better. Would love your thoughts   Kim: Is there a podcast that discusses EOE (Eosinophilic esophagitis)? Is there a podcast that discusses the difference between green tea and green tea extract? Green tea extract and possible liver damage?   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I’ve been noticing either soy or sunflower lecithin in lots of products.. are these to stay away from or are they ok? And is the sunflower lecithin better than soy for someone with imbalanced hormones and doesn’t consume soy otherwise for that reason?   Heather: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you, as always, for taking the time to answer our questions :). I did the CBO Protocol, followed by the Finisher and Heavy Metal Detox, and was hoping this would get rid of my blepharitis and tinea versicolor. Although I got many great results, I still have issues with blepharitis and tinea. Do you know why that is/what else can I do to get rid of them both? I've battled with them for a very long time.

2627: Conventional vs. Natural Health, Out of Breath, Food Sickness Traveling, European Supplement Brands, Vegan Cheese (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Lisa: Hi. I live in RI and do not know why I have not heard about you from any of my Dr's. I think you can open the minds of all my doctors and solve this Mystery Illness I have had for 16 yrs. (Many tests with no answers) As I'm reading TheRain Barrel Effect( thanks for the free book), WHY are Dr's not helping to Navigate Dis-ease by your findings? I'm suffering in pain, can't work and all I get are prescription to pick up. I found you by doing my own research. I lost 16 + years because of pain & mobility issues that started at age 36. I'm 52 on Medicare and can't afford much but I did buy because I believe you can be "The Cause" of my Better Life. Navigating wellness is a game changer specially when aging adds to it.   Ana: Hi Dr C! I'm a 29 year old Vata, IHP level 1 and 2 certified. I've done all protocols, I take level 3 supplements every day. I eat 95% plant-based with approx 60g protein daily. BMI 22, 10k steps every day with resistance training 4x a week. I don't do any cardio apart from walking. I've noticed that I run out of breath very quickly when I'm going up the stairs, walk quickly or walk uphill. Are there any root causes that you can think of? Is there anything I can do to improve this? I'm so young to be running out of breath like that lol. I used to have asthma as a child but that's about it. Never had asthma again and no chest infections.   Ana: I really enjoy your podcast, thank you! I’m a naturopathic doctor and it’s common to see various patients saying that all of their issues started after getting food poisoning in Mexico. I will soon be going to Mexico and I’ll be staying in an all inclusive hotel so I’m quite nervous about encountering a stomach bug, especially after all the work I’ve done into optimising my gut health. Do you have any tips? What food choices should I go for and any supplements you’d recommend? Thank you!   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. hope you & your family are well.. I have a favour to ask.. I would like to suggest for you to make a Friday review of some European supplement brands that you think are quality enough to recommend.. So far I’ve found two brands: Viridian and TerraNova that seem clean but I’m not sure about the dosages recommendations, the right versions of certain vitamins/minerals, etc. Some of us here over seas are really struggling which brands to trust.. and since I trust your knowledge and expertise, I would really appreciate your help on this.. I’ve ordered EQUILIFE supplements 3x now but the cost of shipping is just too much (I know it’s not your fault), it also doesn’t ship to my country or any surrounding ones so it’s always a hassle to get it here as well.. thank you so much   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral! I have a question about vegan cheese.. is there any that isn’t just bad for you? And all the recipes to make your own at home contain nutritional yeast.. as far as I understood you, nutritional yeast is not good for us, right? So, what’s the best, healthiest option in your opinion (which I value the most ;) ) Thank you for all you do for the world, people and our healthy future !   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2627 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2626: Virus & Depression, Antibiotics & CBO Protocol, HBOT, ALT Levels, Trimethylaminuria (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    David: Hi Dr Cabral. You already helped me a lot so I’m so grateful. I almost totally healed myself and got rid of all symptoms thanks to you. I have hashimotos . Theb I was hit by the new virus (Covid) and got into the hospital. Since then depression and anxiety are debilitating.. The problem is I just got a new job and I need to work every day. I know it’s not the solution but I’m thinking on taking an antidepressant to be able to work. I love this job and my family needs money. What do you think about virus and symptoms like I mentioned? What should I do? Should I try antidepressant? I am so weak I’m afraid losing this job. Thank you David   Stacey: Hi Dr. Cabral , I want you to know how much I’m learning and enjoying your book,Pod Casts and FB group ! Thank you so much . I have a quick question. I’m going to be having a surgery for Breast Explant and hernia mesh removal in about 5 months . I was told by my coach that I need to do the CBO after the Parasite cleanse.. problem is I will be doing all of this to then have major surgery as well as be on a good amount of Antibiotics for a while . Should I wait until after surgery and antibiotics to then start CBO and CBO finisher ? I don’t want to have to buy the protocol again and do it all over again . I’m already spending a lot of money on this surgery so I need to scrape my Pennie’s . What is your best opinion on the matter ? Thank you & God Bless   Gordon: Hello Dr Cabral, curious on your thoughts on HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy). I searched podcasts and only found one on HBOT and autism. I’ve read it can be beneficial for TBI (traumatic brain injury) and possibly good for vision issues. I’ve had several concussions and now experience what I call optical migraines. I get double vision, loss of vision, lightheaded/ dizzy at random times. Can be frequent. I’m thinking this could be related to the concussion. Could HBOT help this? Also curious on your thoughts on HBOT and cancer. I’ve seen mixed reviews on this. Possibly can it slow the progression of cancer and/or help with enhancing treatments. Thank you for answering what you can and thanks for all you do. Gordon   Kelsey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m on month 2 of the CBO protocol for Hydrogen SIBO. I had my annual physical last week with bloodwork and see that I have elevated ALT levels (42). Prior to this I had no issues. Is this a normal reaction from using the protein shake & CBO protocol? I’m searching your podcast but haven’t found anything on this specifically. Thank you! Kelsey   Catrina: Hello Stephen. I heard your podcast on body odor #2372. I was wondering if you have ever worked with someone with Trimethylaminuria? It’s also called the fish odor disorder . If you could give some insight on this disorder i would greatly appreciate it!

2620: Hives, Vitamin B6, Ayurvedic Diagnostics, Reoccurring Cancer, High Oxalate Foods (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Toni: My son, who is 36 years old is having severe hives and woke up today with a swollen face and lips. He went to the doctor and they gave him a steroid shot and hydroxyzine. They of course did not try to get the the root of the problem. These break outs have been going on with increased severity for three weeks. The rash seems to be deep, starting out as dots and becoming one huge whelp. He did discover that the laundry soap, containing lavender was a major irritant but even after eliminating this, the hives continue to get worse. Thank you in advance for answering this question!   Lori: Hello, I came across your podcast on liver detoxification and found it really enlightening. I located the detox you sell on your website and noticed the high level of vit b-6, which is common in so many supplements. I struggle to understand this phenomenon. The recommended daily amount is between 1-3 mg yet every supplement contains 50mg or more. In Europe the upper limit is 30mg and there have been cases of toxicity reported at low levels. I’d love more information on the consumption of this particular vitamin, as I know it is really important. Thank you!   Summer: Hi Doc! I really like the ayurvedic "diagnostics" =) podcasts! I have found that when I search these charts online that they are all different... Would you be willing to post examples of the most accurate charts you've seen from your experience? I saw there is a chart on the tongue podcast page, but I would love a tongue chart that links up symptoms to visible signs on the tongue, a facial diagnostic chart, and a fingernail chart. Hoping to get some clarity! Thanks for all you do! Summer   Karen: I have a friend that keeps getting cancer, how can I help her get rid of it for good. She is done with chemo and radiation, they are no longer working. Thank you   Stacey: Hi Dr. Cabral I have a quick question on your opinion of high Oxalate foods .. I feel I may have an allergy to them so I bought the book Toxic Superfoods by Sally K. Norton and it’s making a lot of sense . I also have to stay away from high histamine foods do to MCAS. My ability to eat an assortment of food is becoming smaller and smaller . I have ran the big 5 and removed the allergy foods but I’m sensitive to other foods that did not show up on the allergy test . I love your DNS shake and drink it every morning but I’ve been noticing I’m still very bloated every day . Im confused on what my body can even tolerate now . The big 5 did not show Candida issues . Should I try removing all high Oxalate foods for a period of time in your opinion ? Thanks so much !   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2620 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2619: Long Haulers, Pain in Temple, Safe Cookware, Supporting Healthy Sleep, Adult ADHD (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Amber: Hello, I’m looking for information on the COVID 19 long hauler issue. I’m experiencing some symptoms and wanted to figure out how your program works   Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all that you do and share with everyone searching for answers! Several years ago my brother was doing Wim Hof exercises and heard a pop in his left temple followed by sharp and pressure type pain in that area for days to weeks. He was told by a chiropractor that it is a sinus issue. We are skeptical of this because there are no sinuses near the temple area… since then, he has had similar episodes but no popping sound. He feels like there is pressure in the vein that runs across the temple. He ends up with that same sharp pressurized pain every time and takes weeks to heal. The pain is worsened by any exertion, singing, raising his voice, bending over, breathing exercises, etc. Any ideas what this could be? He lives a healthy plant based lifestyle. Thanks!!   Cathy: I have listened to your podcast on toxic cookware and safe cookware. I am still not entirely clear on guidance for popular items like Staub, which you did not mention specifically. Staub is an enamel coated cast item and I have reached out to the Company who claims they have tested for their interior being lead/cadmium free. Should I be concerned with the outside testing positive for either of those? Lots of online "experts" claiming this can rub off on the interior when pans are stored/washed. Thoughts on safety and regular use?   Jillian: Hi Dr. Cabral, my hobby unfortunately has unhealthy hours that I don't have much control over. I live in Colombia and salsa dance frequently, implementing a particular style of dance that gets my heart rate up substantially (sometimes as much as a HIIT work out in a single song). Events never start earlier than 9pm. Knowing that I can't change these hours, what are the best practices/supplements/habits I can do to support my adrenals, health and sleep quality? I already sleep with a mask & earplugs, eat WFPB and do not consume alcohol or caffeine. Thank you for everything you do!!   Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've been listening to all of your podcasts in which you address ADD/ADHD and I'm wondering if there is a reason why, when addressing this topic, you and others seem to only talk about kids dealing with it and not adults. Do most kids outgrow it or something? The reason I'm listening to the podcasts on this topic is because I have a couple of adult friends who have told me that they majorly struggle with ADD/ADHD and I'm trying to help them gain some knowledge. I appreciate your insight! Thanks for all that you do!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2619 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2613: Rain Barrel Size, Diastasis Recti Repair, “Natural Flavors”, Breakfast Ideas, Air Filter (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Allison: Hi Dr Cabral, I am so thankful for you and your team. You guys have changed the trajectory of me and my family's life forever and I am so very grateful. My question is about a friend. Do some people have smaller rain barrels than others? My friends have a set of identical twins. One twin was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 7 years old. The family went on the Specific Carbohydrate diet and changed their lifestyle, but the other twin ended up with a Crohn's diagnosis at 13. You often talk about how you got sick at 17 and how that is young. I feel like 7 is so young. They were born by c-section and had a handful of rounds of antibiotics, but not a crazy amount. So I'm just wondering how someone's rain barrel fills up at such a young age. Thank you for your thoughts and for everything!   Anonymous: Hi, I am in my mid 40’s and have worked with your practitioners on reducing inflammation and candida. I am currently at a healthy weight and exercise regularly. I’ve had 5 children and have been left with mild diastasis recti and excess skin on my stomach. I’ve worked with a specialist to heal my core and it did help, but didn’t heal the DR completely. I’ve consulted with a plastic surgeon who has recommended a diastasis repair with a mini tummy tuck. I know you can’t give medical advice, but can you give me your thoughts on this surgery and any long term affects this may cause.   Joyce: I really love these podcasts (Thank you). Can you give me information on "natural flavors"? I have heard it is only "msg" in disguise. It contains multiple biohazards, and chemical compounds. It has slipped under the radar and allowed into lots of foods (even health foods) that are advertised as safe. Can you give me the science and finally a straight answer on this. I can only find research from the FDA and I definitely don't trust them. Is it really hidden msg. I won't eat anything with natural flavors or any other "flavors" until I get the truth. Thanks!!   Tracy: Thoroughly enjoying your podcast episodes. Do you have recommendations on what to eat to break a fast? Thank you! BTW, already left a review as requested. :-)   B: Hi Dr Cabral, I always appreciate your honest reviews. Can you please review the air filter PuraClenz? It claims to have scientific evidence that it destroys mold spores in the air but I don’t want to purchase something like this if it doesn’t really work.

2612: Sauna & EMF, Coffee Enema, H-pylori & SIBO, Fasting & Exercise, Semaglutide (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to your podcast daily and learn so much from you. I keep working on improving my health and see results. I'm going to put an infrared sauna to my house in a couple of months. It will be placed next to my office room and want to ask you if there is anything I could do or purchase to block EMFs from the sauna. Would Soma Vedic be helpful? Or maybe there are other things I'm not aware of? Thank you for all you do, you are such a big help and inspiration in my health rebuilding journey.   Alicja: Hi again :) I also have a question about coffee enema. What is your opinion about adding once capsule of clean gut probiotic to my coffee right before doing coffee enema? Would that be beneficial? I haven't tried this yet, but I'm very tempted. I take probiotics often, but my last stool test showed I don't have any Lactobacillius in my gut. Maybe trying to add it through coffee enema would be more effective? Thank you again. I appreciate your help so much.   Nadine: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks for the wealth of information you provide. I have suffered with severe gas and bloating for more than a decade. In January, 2022 I did an endoscopy which revealed I had H-pylori. After about 4 weeks of “heavy” antibiotics treatment I did a stool test which showed the H-pylori was gone but I was still very bloated and gasy. I then did a breath test and I tested positive for SIBO. I did another 2 weeks of antibiotics but I still suffer from bloating, gas and indigestion. I have not retested for SIBO as yet as my next appointment with my GI doctor is in March, 2023. I am always extremely tired, lots of fatigue, brain fog and generally feel like crap! Of note, I had thyroid cancer and my entire thyroid was removed in 2012. What do you recommend I do now?   Ann: Thank you so much for all you do Dr. Cabral. The guidance you give is truly life changing!! I have a question about some conflicting information and wonder if it just depends on my bioindividuality. I've read not to do heavy exercise (i.e. running) on an empty stomach, because it will spike cortisol, but also have seen that its better to wait to eat until 1 hour after a heavy workout for fat burning. I always start my day with a shake and I am more of a Vata or Pitta body type. I am currently in weight loss mode but also wonder if this advice changes when I go to weight maintenance. Just want to do what is healthiest for my body and longevity. Thank you again- you are truly changing so many lives:)   Anonymous: Hey Dr. Cabral , I hope you are having a beautiful day ! I have a quick question for you . What is your opinion on using a semaglutide for weight loss even though I’m not diabetic ? My Endocrinologist who is also a functional medicine Dr. Prescribed me Rybelsus in pill form to help aid my weight loss and insulin resistance. I have done the fatlosity program to a T. I’m afraid to try the semaglutide .. it seems it’s the new fad weight loss pill or shot and I’m very weary of that . What is your opinion on the subject? I’m about 60 lbs overweight and it’s extremely depressing . I eat pretty clean , work out & hardly drink any alcohol . I have done the big 5 and thyroid & hormones showed all normal .I’m Confused   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2612 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2606: Root Cause Without Testing, Mycoplasma Pneumonia, Detox & High Blood Sugar, Dementia & Detox, Sermorelin (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Carolyn: Hi, I stumbled across this show last week while searching the podcast app for podcasts about my problem. I feel like I found a treasure trove and am busily binge-listening to see what I can learn. My question is, how can I diagnose and address the root causes of my health issues if I live in a country where I can’t buy Equilife testing kits or find functional medicine practitioners? I live in China. I can test blood nutrient and hormone levels in a local hospital, but that’s about it. My symptoms include poor sleep quality (waking up at night), bloating after meals, chronic loose stools (no matter what I eat), susceptibility to yeast infections, difficulty losing fat (despite an active lifestyle and 95% whole-food diet), and chilblains on my hands. What should I do?   Vanessa: I am very thankful for the support and education you provide to so many. You are truly a blessing. My question is about Mycoplasma Pneumonia. I tested high for this infection over a year ago and have been on a few natural supplements to help lower it, biocidin being one of them. My numbers went down but it never went away. I have been working on healing from Autoimmune, Hashimotos, Mercury Toxicity and working on drainage, detoxing, balance deficiencies, ect. After coming off my supplements for a few months because I felt so good, the Mycoplasma pneu. increased quickly. Then, I started itching, coughing anytime I would laugh, and increased inflammation again. I could believe how quick it happened. I just finished the Organic Acids Test to check my gut as well. What would you suggest?   Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently tried your 7 day detox. I was wearing a continuous blood glucose monitor and found that the daily shake kept my blood sugar elevated (120s-130s) 2-3 hrs post morning and afternoon shake. I'd like to try for a longer detox, but this level made me uncomfortable. Any thoughts on ingredients in the shake that might have spiked this? My blood sugar is usually good at getting back to the high 80s - mid 90s 2 hours post meals/shakes. Thanks for the help!   Linda: Hello, My friend has been diagnosed with advanced dementia. Would having her detox and follow the how to’s in your book “The Rain Barrel Effect” reverse her condition? Also, her son-in-law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has a tumor. Is there any hope for these two beloved people??   Caitlin: I have listened to your podcast about HGH and the one on ways to increase HGH naturally. I’m curious your opinion on Semorlin as it is supposed to help the pituitary gland make HGH and not actually be a replacement of HGH. I am currently taking semorline injections and although I have researched it, I would love to hear your take on the supplement. Thanks you so much!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2606 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2605: Tooth Implant, Rebuilding After Surgery, Bowel Blockage, Sweating on One Side, Hair Loss on Legs, Progesterone Resistance (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Victoria: Hello Dr Cabral I want to thank you for the wonderful vitamins - I’m about to get a tooth implant Do you think holistic is the best ? What do you suggest ?   Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral - I’ve followed you for many years now, and need your advice. I am a healthy, 37 year old female who practices your foundational protocol along with quarterly detoxes. I had a routine laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis, and two days later was admitted to the hospital with septic shock due to Strep A in my uterine lining (found during surgery and biopsied) which turned systemic. Very long story short, I’m dealing with a whole host of issues in the ICU. This is very rare, and I’m on many different intense antibiotics and have developed an illeus in my colon. You won’t see this until I’m released from hospital, but I’m wondering where to start to rebuild my system and repopulate my gut and build a healthy immune system. Any advice is appreciated!   Chelsea: Hello! I have a recurring blockage in my bowel on the lower right side (as in, my actual right side, not the right side if you were looking at me, so ascending colon I believe?). It comes and goes depending on the week. I’ve done many quarterly detoxes, intestinal cleanses, gall bladder cleanse, CBO twice, and it seems to keep coming back. I’ve worked with my health coach but am still struggling to understand why. I could still be eliminating daily, but it seems something is stuck and causes some bloating, pain, etc. Do you know what could be causing this? Sometimes I think it may be when I eat too much fat but overall my diet, supplementation, and hydration is healthy and stable. Thank you!   Anonymous: Dr. Cabral, I have an odd observation I was wondering if you could explain. When I sit in the sauna after lifting weights, the left side of body body sweats considerably more than the right side, being most notable on my arms. Is there something to this or am I just simply a left-handed sweater (if such a thing exists)? Thanks again for the time and continuing to stimulate my curiosity.   Pam: Hi Dr Cabral! A big thank you for all the valuable information you share. I've learned so much from listening to your podcast. My question is the following: My husband (60 yrs old) has lost the hair on his legs from the knee down. This area is also red. He doesn't mention any other symptoms (like pain or itching). He tells me the doctor told him that it's nothing to be worried about and that this sometimes happens as we age. My feeling is that his body is trying to tell him something. What do you think could possibly be causing this? Thank you so much!   Laurie: Can you discuss progesterone resistance? I am menopausal, estrogen dominant and had a partial hysterectomy. Bio identical progesterone of any kind makes my symptoms worse and disrupts my sleep. Most supplements to boost progesterone are for pre menopausal. Also, I was born with one kidney so I only have one adrenal gland.

2599: Fertility Questions, Sauna & TTC, Stopping Birth Control, Dizziness, High Liver Enzymes (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Deborah: Hello, love you podcasts. I've been listening for years; you're a wealth of knowledge. I have fertility related questions. I have Hashimoto's and have had many early miscarriages. I do have have 4 children, with healthy and easy pregnancies, once established. 1. Is there any supp or Rx that would help with implantation in the case of autoimmune conditions? 2. Do you recommend to forgo coffee when TTC (I drink 1 cup organic in AM)? 3. This one is a little weird but just want your thought: Will taking my daily proteolytic enzymes effect sperm when TTC, and should I only do it early in cycle? Thanks so much for your insight!   Eric: I have a question re infrared sauna. I know it's very healing, but when TTC, should I refrain from it and also should my wife, or could she do it only the first half of her cycle before ovulation? Thanks so much for your dedication to all things wellness.   Cori: Hello! Love your podcast, so informative and I feel like I’m learning and growing so much just from listening! Life changing information here. I have been on birth control (nexplanon/arm implant) for 8 years now due to heavy periods and needing iron infusions because they are so heavy for 6-7 days. I went off of it for about a year and gained 30 pounds around stomach and thighs and upper arms :( I try hard to lose it but it doesn’t budge, and I and ended up with extremely low ferritin levels, so my dr put me back on it. I want to come off birth control due to what I now know about it, but where do I start? Thank you for all you do!   Erica: Hi Dr. Cabral! I wanted to ask you your thoughts on what could be the root of my symptoms. I’ve had dizziness for about 3-4 years now and it’s very consistent almost every day. However, it hasn’t gotten worse it’s stayed very consistent over this time. It seems to be worse around the time of my period and also when under stress. In addition, I have a lot of popping in both of my ears and sometimes my ears feel itchy and almost like my eustachian tubes have to release pressure. I went to the ENT who said I might have Eustachian tube dysfunction but ruled out any fluid in my ears or other issues. I also tried the maneuver for crystals in my ears which didn’t seem to have an effect either. Any thoughts on things I could try? Dizziness got worse when I took antibiotics 3/4 years ago. Thank you   Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently had some blood tests on 11/29/22 and my AST was 126 and my ALT 218. They ran iron, Hepetitis, all negative. Ultrasound of my liver only showed small amount of fatty liver. I retested on 1/10/23 and now my AST is 149 and ALT is 244. I have taken Kratom for my Levoscoliosis but only sparingly 2-4 tablets once in a while when my back is really bad because I dont want to have to take pharma pills to manage my back pain. She had me stay off the Kratom before I retested. I don't drink much nor do any drugs. I do vape nicotine and in September I had a copper IUD implanted so I wonder if any of these might be the culprit or what could be causing my enzymes to be this high and what I can do to bring them back down.

Check out today's questions:    Ryan: Hi Dr Cabral, I love your podcast , and your equilife products too! My question is for father . He has ESRD because of untreated hypertension. His BP was 284/165 his last trip to ER. He gets dialysis. He eat relatively good for a 65 year old. He eats lots of fruit and veggies. He likes beef , chicken an pork. He's not overweight, small belly. Sorry just wanted you to have as much info to make possible suggestions. Every since he started dialysis and years before , his uncontrolled BP in return gave him ckd, an now ESRD . He feels so wiped-out afterwards and gets cramps in back legs and feet. Maybe something revitalizing a little and replenishing him? And maybe electrolyte products or shakes of your line. Love the podcast . So incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon your podcast !   Kenzie: My boyfriend is getting his deviated septum fixed. They want him on antibiotics because it’s a surgery. Any tips for supporting the gut during? Any thoughts on this surgery?   Shannon: Hi Dr. Cabral, my 12-year-old son has been suffering from post-concussive syndrome since May 2022. He has had daily pounding headaches, accompanied sometimes by nausea, dizziness, difficulty concentrating etc. I had to withdraw him from school and his mood is very low and he cries a lot which is not normal for him. My heart is breaking as I don’t know how to help him. We’ve seen the chiropractor, Osteopath, function Medicine practitioner, naturopath had acupuncture, cranial sacral therapy, massage and tried so many different things such as essential oils, food eliminations, high dose Omega 3, magnesium, homeopathic remedies. His sleep is poor and he is not himself in so many ways. I feel like this nightmare will never end. What am I missing? Please give me hope that this will get better.   Leora: My 22 month old son has been diagnosed with Severe Congenital Neutropenia with a mutation of the ELANE gene. We are currently investigating whether it is cyclic or not. Is there anything natural I can do to boost his neutrophils level? Moreover, he has chronic ear infections. Every time he has a virus he gets an ear infection. Of course the doctors always want him on antibiotics but I have found that onion juice works well to clear up the ear infection. However, is there anything I can do to prevent the ear infection occuring in the first place? His doctor believes it is caused by a fluid buildup that doesn't release due to the architecture of his ear.   Kenzie: Hello! Any tips for cutting down emf when living in apartment? I can’t shut off my wifi. And obviously I live next to above and under other apartments.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2598 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2592: Low Copper, Low Body Temperature, Amalgam Filling Dangers, BHRT Cautions, Tonsil & Adenoid Removal (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Anonymous: What are the signs and symptoms of low copper?   Anonymous: Hey doc, love the show and all you do! On a few different episodes, I've heard you use some form of the phrase "if you didn't have it as a kid" to indicate that some toxicity or imbalance occurred at some point during the course of life to cause a symptom. My question is regarding low body temperature, which I've heard you say is a sign of a sluggish metabolism. My body temperature has actually always been between 97-97.5 degrees, even as a baby, so I was wondering if you knew of anything that could cause this from birth? (As opposed to something that was triggered by lifestyle, environmental exposure, etc. since this abnormality was present from birth)   Hailey: Hi, I have been gradually making changes with guidance of the rain barrel effect, and am scheduled with a SAFE dentist to have one amalgam filling removed next month, however, after seeing my brother in law (who is a dentist), I am having some paused based on this information he shared with me regarding the discrediting and license provoking of Hal Huggins. My brother in law claims you would have to have 3x the amount of teeth in your mouth all covered in amalgam to experience the effects of any mercury leakage. Of course I would ideally still have it removed as I still don't want this material in my body, but given I am in the middle of PA school and it is quite expensive, postponing is appealing to me. Just wondering if you have any clarifying advice to offer? Thank you!   Pamela: Hi Dr Cabral! I really enjoy your podcast and want to thank you for all the wonderful information I’ve learned from you. My question is about bio identical hormone replacement therapy. I’m a post menopausal woman (57 yrs old) and recently started to see a ND to optimize my health. On my intake form, the ND saw that when I menstruated, I had painful periods and heavy bleeding. I also had many years of fertility issues.The ND also mentioned to me that BHRT would help to protect against breast cancer and it would also allow me to have a deeper better sleep. I presently am able to fall asleep no problem but often wake at around 4-4:30 am and have difficulty going back to sleep. I’m unsure about taking BHRT and would appreciate any information you can provide. Thank you again!   Eric: When I was younger my parents got my tonsils and agnoids removed because I was snoring a large amount. Are there any long term effects to that? Anything I can do to help it?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2592 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2591: Stress & Digestive Issues, Spinach & Kidney Stones, Child Awake at Night, High Alkaline Phosphate Levels, Loss of Smell (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral, I perhaps have the stump Cabral of the day. (I know this will be 12+ weeks until answered and that’s ok) A little context for me (chronic constipation, leaky gut, and bacterial overgrowth, tons of gas and bloating) I did the FM detox followed by the CBO Protocol with Mastic Gum (because of C.Diff) and the Citricidal Drops followed by the CBO finisher. (I followed it all to a tee) It helped some but definitely did not fix the issues. 5 1/2 years of this now. I’ve been working with your team and they’ve been very helpful, but I think everyone is out of answers of what to do next. I know it is stressed based (been doing sauna, relaxation exercises, bineural beats, etc) Where do I go from here? P.S. perhaps ileocecal valve dysfunction? Thank you! Gary   Maria: Is it true that kale and spinach cause kidneys stones.   Alexandra: Hi, first I’d like to say thank you. I’ve worked with one of your health coaches and the results are truly amazing. I am writing to you today at our daughter. Our 2.5 year old had split nights (up for 2-3 hours and just can’t sleep. Mostly calm) at around 18 months old and lasted almost 8 weeks straight. We thought it was a sleep pressure thing and did all the things to try to fix it, but in the end we had to just ride it out and we think it was developmental. The split nights have now started back up. My husband and I both work and with having a 5 month old, split nights with our 2.5 year old are extremely exhausting. She had the flu and we did have to give her Motrin to keep her comfortable. I usually let her ride out the fevers, but she was miserable. Anyway, looking for help ! Thanks   Geoff: Hi Dr. Cabral! Have you had any experience with high alkaline phosphate levels? My levels have been above the normal range (as high as 156, currently 135) since May of 2022. I'm 44, active, and in good shape, 5'10" 152 lbs. I'm sure I'm leaving out vital background info, sorry! I started TRT (cypionate injections after about 10 years of taking Clomid) around the same time as the high readings of the alkaline phosphate. Would that have anything to do with it? My PCP sent me to have an ultrasound that looked at my kidneys, liver, and gall bladder which came back normal. His suggestion is to keep an eye on it, but I'd prefer to take action if there is anything I can do. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you for all you do! You are a real beacon of light for all of us!   Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm a Registered Dietitian currently going through your IHP Levels 1 and 2. It's been a great learning experience so far and I am very thankful. I had the virus back in November 2020 (the OG virus) and my main symptom was loss of smell along with a severe headache between my eyes and above my nose. Over the past 2+ years, my smell has slowly returned but is not nearly the same as it was prior to losing it. Most people I know had a return of smell after a few weeks. I'm not too sure why I have it so severe. Do you have any    Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2591 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2585: Low Testosterone, HES & Steroids, Cystic Acne, Sauna & Calories, Hydrogen Water, Neem (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Joesph: Hey dr. I’ve been a huge fan for about 4 years now and I’m feeling great I take the dns and the dfvb everyday. I’m 50 years old and very active I play sports a few days a week and hit the gym a few days a week I had my testosterone checked a couple months ago thinking it might be too high since I’m so active and always feel pretty’ good. When I got my results back it was the complete opposite it was very low only a 40 my health coach thought I need to work on lowering my stress so put me on adrenal sooth Is there any other steps I should be taking and when should I test again. Thanks so much for all you are doing   Wendy: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was diagnosed with HES (hypereosiniphilic Syndrome) in early 2021. My body produces too many white blood cells and attacks my skin and organs. It's a rare autoimmune disease that I'm told there is no cure. My skin is my main issue and I have been on many meds and antihistamines. Steroids was the double edged sword that was the worst as it helped with my hives/itch but gave me cataracts, thinning hair and weight gain. I finally tapered down to zero steroids and one immune suppressant that seemed to work until my joints started to hurt me so bad I felt like I was a lot older than 55. So I tapered off those and am now only on my vitamins, and healthy eating. My rash is coming back and nights are becoming sleepless again. Please advise with any advice. Thank you!   Jessica: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all the content that you put out. I have learned so much and am so grateful for everything to do to help the community!My question is about cyclic acne specifically on my back. I have heard that your gut health is directly linked to your skin. I have run a few 7 day detoxes and noticed it it improves when I run the detox. I also have noticed that the acne only shows up in the winter when I am exposed to less sun (I live in Colorado). When I have a tan and more sun exposure it almost completely disappears. I am taking about 2000 IUs of vitamin D in capsule form/day, have recently quit drink alcohol and have been working towards healing my gut. I was hoping you might have some insight on what is going on and how I can heal this issue. Thank you.   Chelsea: Hi Dr. Cabral! Question about infrared saunas. Whenever I use my sauna bag, my Oura ring detects a workout and calorie burn of 200 cals or so. Is this real? If so what exactly is happening here and is it the same stimulus as a workout and why? Second question unrelated - what’s your take on hydrogen water? And when you travel, is there a portable filter you use, or do you buy spring water?   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been listening to the podcast for years and it transformed my life. I realized that I am a vata-pitta dosha and that I had a candida and bacterial imbalance that has led to leaky gut, digestive discomfort, sensitivity to foods and environmnent, skin issues, hair loss. I started taking neem tea two months ago to help with the bacterial imbalance and it has been super helpful. I would love to purchase the CBO protocol but I won't be able to afford it anytime soon. Do you think the neem will be enough to get me to heal, in combination with diet, meditation and sleep? If not what else would you recommend in the meantime...until i am able to purchase the CBO protocol.

2584: Alcohol & Nitric Oxide, CBD Gummies & Fasting, Bowel Movements, CBO Protocol Sensitivities, Protein & Calorie Consumption (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. You spoke about the ills of using mouthwash and the possible fallout with increased risk of hypertension and reduced nitric oxide production. As someone who regularly trains, I'm wondering if occasional alcohol drinking and using regular toothpaste may have similar affect on one's nitric oxide production given they may also destroy bacteria in mouth. Can you clear that up please and/or list other factors that can limit NOS production. Also, should one refrain from using L-arginine products? Thank you.   Chelsea: Two questions about CBD calming gummies. If I have 2-3 before bed, does this break my fast or affect my blood sugar? I stop eating by 6pm. Second, can I have CBD oil/gummies on the detox? Is this considered a supplement, or should it be removed during the detox?   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have a question about elimination. I only have a bowel movement once a day, in the morning. I have done CBO protocol, detoxes, etc. and my body feels pretty balanced. I eat normally (smoothie morning, 2x meals a day after that, healthy organic etc). I'd like to eliminate 2x a day as I get a bit bloated throughout the day but can never seem to - despite healthy eating, supplementation, high water intake, etc. Is this normal or unhealthy? Is there anything i can do to promote a second bowel movement during the latter half of the day? I think i'm a pitta/vata, if that helps give any context. Very active and healthy, good sleep, little to no dairy in my diet. last question unrelated! What's your take on the new oura ring beta sleep staging? my staging is super different!   Erica: Hi Dr. Cabral! I had a question on the CBO protocol. About a year ago I tried taking it and month one appeared to help me, but I think the second month was potentially too strong for my body to handle. I had a lot of anxiety, increased sensitivity to foods, etc. At that point in time I stopped taking it, but I’m starting to realize it might have just been a herx reaction and I might have been on the right path (my candida levels just came back high on blood work). What would you recommend for someone that is very sensitive to taking things to approach this protocol? I think I have issues with histamines / mast cells so that might add to it. Always appreciate your podcast and your time answering these questions. - Erica   Greg: Hi Dr. Cabral, My question is regarding protein and calorie consumption. I exercise 5 days per week and am pretty active. I usually consume approximately 2,000 calories and 170-200g of protein daily. My breakfast each morning is a protein shake that contains the following - Collagen powder, Truvani Vanilla Protein, BeWell Vanilla Protein (Beef Isolate), Organic Cacao Powder, Maca, Lion's Mane, Ashwagandha, Flax Seeds, Organic Kale, Dairy-free Unsweetened Coconut Yogurt (So-Delicious brand), Turmeric, Organic Cinnamon, Baruka Nuts, and Nuttzo Tahini seed butter.

2578: Digestive Enzymes, Ethical Research, Micro-Current Facial Devices, PMDD, Supplements & Fasting, Moisturizer (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Zoe: Hello, I am a newly graduated pharmacist with a passion for lifestyle medicine. I am also a nutrition coach for friends, family, and members of my church. I have several patients that ask for help with IBD symptoms. I was hoping you could do a review of which digestive enzymes are used to help patients experiencing diarrhea verses constipation? Are these products similar? Any Amazon brands that you might recommend? Thanks in advance, huge fan of your functional medicine podcasts. I'm hoping to have a future career in function medicine as well.    Jenna: Hey Dr. Cabral! Thank you for everything you do and for creating a truly helpful and transparent health and wellness community. My question is more of a career oriented one. I am graduating this upcoming summer and would like to pursue a career in research. I want to work for a place that conducts ethical and objective studies and was wondering if you had any insight into places with these values? I was thinking labs at Universities around the area would be my best bet. I know you may not be able to answer this question, but any information you can provide would be helpful in my job search. Thanks so much!   Simone: Hi Doctor Cabral, what are your thoughts on the at-home microcurrent facial devices? They allegedly improve and build the facial muscles, lift, and tighten the skin, as well as smooth the lines. Do you think this is true and do you feel that these results are long-lasting? Thanks so much in advance for your answer!   A.W: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for the work you do. I really appreciate your insights and am hoping you can help me. I suffer from PMDD. It's hard to describe the severity of the symptoms I experience every month, especially on the mental side - bone-crushing sadness with weeping spells, hopelessness, feelings of worthlessness and overwhelm, I relive all my worst regrets, extreme sensitivity, erratic thoughts, heightened anxiety and jumpiness, inability to concentrate...I could keep going. Suffice it to say it disrupts my life and has damaged relationships. Do you have any insights into this condition? I also wondered your thoughts on the supplement "Jublilance." Thank you.   Lisa: Hi doctor Cabral. I hope you’re doing wonderful! I have a question about supplements and fasting. I always eat an early dinner (5pm at the latest) and fast for about 16 hours after. I’ve noticed that I wake up at 4am every night, and I feel it’s due to low blood sugar. The best solution would be to eat something before bed, but I don’t want to break my fast, which I mainly do for my gut health and autophagy. Are there any ways to keep my blood sugar stable throughout the night, without breaking the fast? With certain supplements that do not affect the fast? Thanks so much in advance for your answer, you are amazing! Lisa   Jason: I use oil of Olay on my face every day after I get out of the shower. Is there a better, safer alternative? My skin tends to be dry, and I also like the fact to provide some sun protection of 15 spf.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2578 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2577: Children’s Development, High Cortisol & Fasting, Tourette's, Muscle Fascia Knots, Mushroom Supplement Side Effects, One Day CBO Protocol (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to thank you first. You are helping me so much in my healing journey. I recently repeated some tests and they show I no longer have hypothyroidism and Hashimoto and also I am no longer pre-diabetic! Thank you so much for all the wisdom you share. Today my question is about my daughter. She is 3.5 years old. When she was younger, she liked to apply pressure on her belly when she experienced belly discomfort. She developed quite the technique for that and I think accidentally she discovered pleasure somewhere else. Her "belly pushes" became different and when I ask her where does it feel good, she says it feels good in her vagina. I'm a bit shocked, because she is only 3.5 yo. Is this normal? Is there something I should do about it? If I even can do anything about it.)   Rocco: Hi Stephen Cabral, thank you so much for your valuable podcasts. I recently did some lab testing in Australia and to no surprise to me (as I have anxiety) I have high cortisol. I want to do your 7 day detox. Am I ok to still do the two fasting days? Or should I go straight to days 3-7 Thanks !   Megan: Can Tourettes be maintained or "cured" through functional medicine practices? I am working with a functional med doctor now for both of my kids but not seeing results.. Do you have suggestions?   Erin: I recently had surgery and had this before surgery too, but now it seems just even more—-muscle facia knots, big ones!! What is the underlying cause of this…i have one in my right lat area that is awful   Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral - I took a blended mushroom supplement and had some really strange side effects (nightmares, irrational thoughts, etc). I'm hoping you can explain what happened here and whether there's a way for me to take a mushroom supplement again. Here's some additional context. I have EBV reactivation and my naturopath gave me a 10+ mushroom supplement to strengthen my immune system. Over the course of the next 8 months, I started getting nightmares and irrational thoughts. For example, I had strong urges to steal things, to drive off the road, or to have outbursts in large company meetings. It was gradual and it wasn't until 8 months that I thought it might be associated to the mushrooms. I stopped taking them and the nightmares and irrational thoughts went away. Can you explain?   Rickardo: Hi Stephen! Love your work and thanks for helping so many people get better. I note on one of your podcasts you spoke about a 1 day detox (short version of the 7 day detox that we can do weekly). I have found this very useful. Do you have a similar 1 day or shorter CBO protocol? I’m planning on doing the full CBO protocol soon as I have candida overgrowth as shown on organic acid test, and if it works, is there something I can do afterwards to ensure my candida overgrowth doesn’t come back (I.e. use citricidal drops just on a weekend, or perhaps even for a week every 3 months, etc.). Basically I’m after any ideas for a very mini cbo protocol for maintenance after a full cbo has been completed to ensure it never returns Thanks   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2577 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2571: Idiopathic Heel Pain, Maintaining Protocol Results, Natural Lubricant, Beta Sleep Stages, Electrolyte Supplements, Anxiety after Virus, Children & Omega-3 (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jack: Hi Dr Cabral, I was hoping you could recommend where to start when you feel like you're at the end. I have idiopathic bilateral heel pain that means I can't stand for more than 10 minutes without being in agony. Every scan and test I've had has come back healthy/normal, other than hormones which I have since optimised to no effect. I've had over 300 appointments across the world with every possible type of practitioner in conventional medicine and included 14 surgeries. It has culminated in what my surgeon believes is a world's first surgery, as well as tibial nerve removal, also to no effect. I am scheduled for amputation but I do not believe I've covered much of the holistic world. Where can I go from here? Many thanks, any help is sincerely appreciated. Jack    Ali: Hi Dr! In Nov of 2021 I started working with an IHP for chronic migraines, elevated fasting glucose, weight gain and getting up 2x night to urinate. She had me do 3 week detox, CBO, mold and heavy metals detox. During the CBO protocol I lost the excess weight and finally started getting less migraines, my sugar started to stabilize. Now, 1 year later my weight is up, my fasting sugar is above 100 getting headaches and I’m still getting up 2x at night to urinate. I follow a 90/10 rule with diet, yoga 3xweek, walk 3 miles everyday, meditate. I take DNS, mg, c, b complex, omega, zinc daily. What am I missing?   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral What is the best natural or clean ingredient lube? I’ve heard of coconut oil. Do you recommend this or any other brands/ingredients? Also curious to get your take on the new Oura beta staging. I’m seeing drastic differences of 2 or more hours for my deep sleep, for example. Curious if you have a take on any of the research they’ve released and why this looks so different from my past results.   Luann: Hello Dr. Cabral! You recommend natural Gatorade (sea salt and lemon / lime juice in water) to replenish electrolytes. Do you recommend an additional electrolyte supplement for athletes or do you instead recommend they drink additional servings of natural Gatorade? What should we look for and what should we avoid if looking for a “premade” electrolyte supplement (such as Nuun, ConcenTrace, LMNT, or Re-Lyte)? Do you have any recommendations? Thank you!   Christina: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I got covid in April 2022. It was very mild and I recovered within 3 days. Then I started experiencing general anxiety and panic attacks. It’s been 8 months of hell. If I had to do some tests which would be the most important ones? Is there anytime I can do in the meantime while waiting for the tests and results to help. Thanks so much   Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I tried giving your liquid omega 3 to my 15 month old and she absolutely would not take it. I mixed it in smoothie, oatmeal, other foods etc and it totally changes the taste of food. Any advice on how I can get her to take it?

2570: Allergy Induced Asthma, Cutting Out Gluten & Dairy, Bananas & Candida, MCAS with Antimicrobials & Probiotics (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Amy: Thank you for all you do! My son has extreme allergy induced asthma. I’ve ordered the Allergy Protocol and Sinus Support however he cannot swallow pills. I tried mixing in some apple juice but it tasted really terrible and he couldn’t drink it (he never complains about medicine/supplements). How can I get these supplements in him? Thanks   Anonymous: Hi Dr, I have candida and bacterial imbalance and I am purchasing the CBO protocol. I know that I can get better but the biggest hurdle in my health journey is that I can't seem to stick to cutting out gluten and dairy permanently. I have had a sort of food addiction since I was a kid and cutting out sugar in my teens helped a bit. Gluten and dairy(lectins in general) give me extreme fatigue, depression, inflammation but even knowing this I cant seem to cut them out permanently. I know it is just a habit that I gotta break but nothing I have tried the past 20 years has worked. I feel so weak.I keep going through cycles of cutting it out for like 6 months and then I see a cookie while shopping and I am back to the same patterns. I need to get healthier I need more control. What can I do? Could you also please explain to me the link between gut bugs and hair loss. Also, how does one avoid getting candida or sibo again when eating soluble fiber, healthy sugar like fruits etc Thanks!   Anonymous: Hi! I was wondering: why are bananas on the sensitive gut guide. Would they not cause an issue for someone with candida? A bit confused about what foods are okay while treating candida. Lots of contadictory info online lol. Thanks in advance!   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral I wanted to know if it was possible to trigger histamine intolerance/MCAS when taking antimicrobials and probiotics at the same time? I’ve tested positive for gut dysbiosis, low secretory IGA, high zonulin and 6 different types of mycotoxins. Low b-vitamins and low minerals. No candida, no h pylori and no heavy metals toxicity.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2570 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2564: Tourette's Syndrome, Chronic Cough, Hair Loss, Lowering A1C & Blood Glucose (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Zach: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was officially diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome at age 20, but have had it, if I recall correctly, probably since I was six years old. If there's one thing I've learned about TS, it's that we don't know much about it, but I am a firm believer that the foods we eat can change our chemistry for the better. I talked to some friends who also have TS and believe in a more wholistic approach to medicine, as well. They made me aware that Red40 food dye is a major trigger of their tics and this was common amongst the TS community. In your experience, are there any other foods that might increase severity of tics that I should avoid, and is there a lab test you would recommend for sorting out how I can best live with this neurological disorder in a way that doesn't involve pills?   Renata: Hi Dr Cabral I’m wondering if you can help me. My son is five and since last September 2021 he keeps getting coughs every 4 to 5 weeks. It starts off as spasmodic and then gradually becomes looser. The coughs eased off in May and then started up again in October. I’m wondering could it be allergy related. He was on antibiotics at birth for 24 hours but breastfed exclusively for seven months. He suffered from reflux and had a lot of digestive discomfort. Once he was on Ion the digestive problems seemed to resolve, however, I’m wondering is this now manifesting through the respiratory system? I live in Ireland so testing is not great here. Thank you.   Julia: Hello, Been losing mass amount of hair since the end of 2020. DHEA-s have been high for a very long time. Have stabilize Testosterone numbers since. Currently suffering from high cortisol and low b vitamins and low ferratin despite supplementing with iron. Additionally, Copper levels are very high despite supplementing higher amounts of Zinc. Recently did a heavy metal detox - copper slightly lowered but not much. CRP marker was at an 8 and has since change to a 2. Any tests i should run ? how can i get my hair back to normal   Rupa: Hello! My dad is 78 years old and he is healthy and active but he can’t get his A1C level down from 6.2 and his fasting blood glucose is 108. He is vegetarian and walks everyday and practices IF each day at least 13-14 hours.

2563: Home Water Filtration, Laser Skin Resurfacing, High Starch Diet, Reactions to Weather, No Thyroid (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Amber: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am very grateful for you and your team and all that you have created/done for this community. I am 46 years old and definitely feel better than I did in my 30's thanks to you! We are looking to install a whole home water filtration system for our house. I have looked at several of them but when I reach out for information, they all boast that the other companies are far less superior and I am having a hard time sifting through the non-sense. My ultimate goal is to have a system that removes all the nastiness, including fluroride, chlorine, etc. so we can drink/shower safely in any of the faucets/showers throughout our home. Are you familiar with the Vitasalus PureMaster V-700 FluorideMaster Combo and if so, would you recommend it? If not, what would you put on your home?   Laddy: Hello Dr. Stephen Cabral! I want to thank you so much for what you are doing I’m have learned so much from you and I absolutely adore your YouTube channel and podcast! God bless you! I would like to know what you think of laser skin resurfacing Treatment such as halo or opus plasma and BBL/IPL light therapy treatments for anti-aging? I would also like to know what you think of medical grade skin care or do you believe in keeping your skin care line all natural?   Carla: Thank you for your informative podcasts. They are so helpful. My boyfriend is very committed to the McDougal high starch diet. I am a little concerned for the health and sustainability of this plan. What are your thoughts on this plan?   Crystal: Hello. I have waited a long time to ask this question. I have noticed my body is very sensitive to weather changes in humidity, pressures, storms, and or snow. An abrupt change from clear skies to a cloudy incoming storm will cause immense pain in my stomach that radiates outward to my ribs effecting my breathing. It also cause gurgling in my stomach, nausea, burping, and I get pale etc…I’m not sure if this is triggering my vagus nerve or if it’s a vasovagal attack, or possible abdominal migraine. This has been happening a couple years now. It has got somewhat better. I have done a lot of work with your team. I guess I would like your insight into this, and how the weather could be contributing/cause. I am embarrassed to even ask. Thank you so much for a starting point/ root cause.   Lynn: Hi Dr. Cabral: Thank you for these house call podcasts. I really enjoy them and look forward to listening every week. I wondered if you have any suggestions for someone who is living without a thyroid gland. I had mine removed 40 years ago due to cancer. They also removed the parathyroid. I take natural thyroid (armour) as a replacement. My levels are stable and within "normal" range. However, I wonder if there is things that I can do to nutritionally to improve uptake or things I should avoid that would inhibit uptake. Appreciate all you do and I look forward to hearing the answer to my question in 12 weeks or so.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2563 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2557: Tahini & Seed Cycling, Natural Menstrual Cycle, Postnatal Glucose Intolerance, Cellulitis, Non Hormonal Contraception, Remove Mycotoxins (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Mariana: Thank you and your team for all that you do! What are your thoughts on tahini? I have quite a bit on days 14-28 of my cycle as I do seed cycling but I believe it’s made from TOASTED sesame seeds? Does this mean that it’s not actually as healthy as portrayed? Thank you!   Kelsey: Hello Doctor, I am 27 year old female. I recently went off TRT and I have a hypothyroid condition. I have had a history of past anorexia nervosa. I am now doing much better in that regard, I am about 130lbs 5’2 and 24ish %body fat. I am a very active individual and have always been health conscious. My diet is almost 100% Whole Foods and I have been on fertility treatment the majority of this year and have been unsuccessful. I have never had a child and have gone for many years with missing periods (no PCOS). In 2020 I went on birth control because I had regained my cycles naturally and was trying to boost hormones to conceive eventually. My question for you is this: how can i regain my natural cycles without medical assistance for each one, and what should my steps be forward from here?   Amanda: Hello! I am 34 years old,105 lbs, 5'1. During my pregnancy, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes- 1.5 years post partum the glucose intolerance is still here. My body type is Vata. Fasting glucose and insulin is normal/low, but the post prandial blood sugar after 55G+ carbs takes 3-4 hours to return to baseline and spikes quiet high and the spike is delayed. I went low to no carb for 5 years due to chronic bloating many years ago. It helped for a few months and then did not help but I continued. Blood sugar is worse during luteal-menstrual. My diet is very clean, balanced organic. PP sugar worse when im low carb. No family hx of Diabetes. I also work as a dentist - could heavy metal exposure could cause glucose issues? Have you seen this? Do you think there is hope to get better?   Maria: Hello Dr. Cabral. Thank you so much for being awesome. I have a question about cellulitis. My 75 year old mom recently had a bout with cellulitis. I wanted to ask you what can you tell me about cellulitis, how can we prevent it from happening again. I did search your past podcast but didn't find what I was looking for.   Gemma: Please can you do a podcast on non hormonal contraception. Or whatever deception methods you consider safe. I am about to get my coil removed it is a progesterone one. I have ductal hyperplasia and I do not want yearly mammograms I just want to get to the underlying root causes and I believe that I should not using any hormones. Thanks   Lisa: How do you get rid of mycotoxins -Ochratoxin I took a mold test and this was a little high 8.83 Are there supplements I can take ? I have been doing IR sauna with binders for 2 years 3-4 times a day but obviously the this is not enough    Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2557 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2556: Atypical Linear Scarring, Scalloped Tongue, Mega Dose Vitamin Therapy, Clean SkinCare Products, Fasting & Supplements (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: A family member had surgery and a ct scan was done a few days after and the finding was this “Mild right apical linear scarring/atelectasis”. Is this something that will go away or can be corrected? She is a bit worried and alarmed at the finding. Thanks so much   Holly:  I have listened to your previous podcast talking about a scalloped tongue being digestive system dysfunction related and not the teeth marks on the tongue. My tongue gets very definitive teeth marks on it, even the mark from the edge of my Invisalign tray, especially after sleeping. The insides of my cheeks also have lines that line up along my occlusal plane more pronounced after sleeping. I used to grind my teeth horribly but it has reduced significantly after Invisalign working on my uneven bite and figuring out I have adrenal fatigue and working on stress. I do have adrenal fatigue according to taking the htma, dizziness on standing if I don’t get in extra sodium, I’m prone to anxiety. Now taking adrenal soothe, dns, magnesium, i definitely feel better but my tongue still looks off   Patti: Hi Dr. Cabral: Hoping you are well. I really value your opinion. I know you are not into mega dose vitamin therapy. What are your thoughts on it for breast cancer treatment (B17, C, amino acid, ozone & ultraviolet light)? Also, thoughts on baicalin & vitamin E for breast cancer? Appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for everything that you do for the community. I was just on your website and went under your personal resources and I noticed that you have partnered up with BeautyCounter! I’ve been hearing so many amazing things about this company and how they are actually working with legislation to get laws passed to get safer and cleaner products into the hands of everyone. What I especially love about BeautyCounter is that all of their products are EWG verified. Which is a very big deal to me. They have so many amazing products that I want to try but I’m not quite sure where to start. I want to start replacing the “not so healthy”products I’ve been using and replace them with cleaner options. What beautycounter products do you think I should start with first?   Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, with so much talk about fasting one thing I hear surprisingly little about is the impact of reducing your window for taking supplements (vitamins/minerals/antioxidants). I do a daily 12-14hr fast and occasional 16-18hr fast and always wonder whether I should be taking supplements outside of my eating window? Are there downsides to reducing your window for taking supplements? If so what would you recommend taking? I’ve recently started taking an organic greens powder upon waking as I heard this also assists with detox.

2550: Mouth Itching, Prevent Weight Loss During Detox, Calm the Mind Pre-Bed, Coffee Storage, Alopecia Areata, Adding Clean Protein (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Natasha: Hi Dr Cabral! Thanks for being here. I have been dealing with itching on the roof of the mouth (which then triggers the ear) for 10 months now. I thought it may be linked to food & histamines, however, haven't been able to make any consistent correlations w any one food. For background, I believe I've had it intermittently since childhood, but never as severe or consistent until 12/2021. No known illness at that time, but I did get a lot of mosquito bites on a trip in Dec. Ever since I got home, it has been daily-weekly. Labs in March showed elevated EBV markers so maybe they triggered the EBV? I then did a restore phase & itching went away for 5 wks. in May. Got Cvid in June & itching came back in July. It is way worse at night & often wakes me up. Any idea what this may be? Viral?   Amanda: Hi Dr. Stephen Cabral, I love your podcasts and book. You are a wealth of knowledge and have a good heart. I am on day 8 of the 21 day detox. I am doing it for heavy metal detox and to improve PCOS symptoms. I’ve lost 10 pounds. I’m 5’5” and 114 pounds now and people have been commenting that I look to thin What do you suggest I do? Can I add oats, nuts, fruits, more avocados & olive oil to my diet during the detox? I am adding berries, flax seed and chia seeds to my morning smoothies. I don’t want to waste away time. Will the liver detox still be effective? I also don’t have a huge appetite and am very active. I don’t like the feeling of being too full. I stop eating at 6:30pm. Would appreciate your help!   Stefanie: Hi, Dr. Cabral.First things first a BIG THANK YOU for all the free information you relay to your listeners. I have been able to figure out many diseases and repair my body. My question is: Ever since I can remember from childhood I've always had thoughts in my head, not bad ones at all. But I'm always thinking about something, could be music or if someone is talking to me I listen but I' always thinking about randomness. I open my eyes in the morning boom! I have a song in my head, and then its all day. Before going to sleep is a constant issue because I cant fall sleep easily. I don't have any problems focusing when I need to or learning . I've tried parasympathetic bedtime routines but I forget to do it to be honest. What can I do to calm my mind not only at pm time but all day? Thank you   Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, What is the best place to store coffee (as bags with coffee beans) I heard you once saying fridge is not good because mold can grow there. How about freezer? I put my coffee to my freezer - if I buy bigger batch. Is this safe or is this a risk for mold too? Is regular pantry shelve better than a freezer? Thanks again for all you do!   Ashley: I have a 20mo old who has a sudden onset of Alopecia Areata at 18mo old. No fam history. It started small on top of her head& has grown to 1 large section(size of a large orange).The podcasts on Alopecia mainly focus on adults. Is there a different testing/protocol you recommend for younger kids? We went dairy and gluten free when she was 3mo old & have slowly been reintroducing them over the last 6mo(she is still nursing). Her cradle cap & some eczema returned so we are going to go back to complete DF/GF. We have a healthy/happy family life. Swim lessons was the only stress she endured at 18mo. Her Dr offered to prescribe low dose naltrexone & steroid creams but I’m weary to give her anything or apply anything foreign. In order, which tests should we get for her? Thank you so much!   Patrick: Hey doc. hope all is well. I’m asking this question for my son he is about to be 17 and has been hitting the gym hard for the past year he’s 5/9 and weighs 150 he’s very toned and in good shape but really wants more mass. What would be the best way for him to get enough protein and do it without having to eat so much bad food or massive amounts of food. He already takes your dns shake everyday but is there any healthy protein shakes or mass builders you would recommend.

2549: AMPS, Peri-Menopause Belly Fat, Salicylates & Deficiencies, Fever & Antibiotics, C-Section & Ulcers (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Crystal: Hello! My question for you is about my 13 year old daughter. She has had trouble with her body for 3 years now. She used to be a flexible, active, normal kid. In 12/2018 she got very sick with something similar to mono. Fever, lots of mouth sores for about a week, and then super tired for over a month then constant cold sores for 5 months. 01/2020 she started having constant lower back pain and her back seems to be locked up. She can't even reach her knees. She has seen lots of doctors with almost no answers. She was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. But it is not what is causing her problems. She did the big 5 but there weren't any obvious answers. We are now looking at an AMPS diagnosis. Can you give any direction on healing/fixing AMPS? Thanks for all you do!   Samantha: Hi doctor Cabral! Is (peri) menopause belly something we can get rid of, or is it just something we’ll have to live with for the rest of our lives? I’m a very healthy and active, in late 40s and noticing that my belly fat is increasing more and more. I wear CGM, have normal sugar, fast for 16 hours daily and lift weights 5 times a week.. still nothing helps. I don’t have to measure my female hormones to know that they are declining, because that’s inevitable with age. I would love to hear your thoughts about this. Thanks a million!   Anonymous: I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the knowledge you share this us! It has truly changed my life. A few weeks ago, i was down to like 5 foods. I reacted to everything including multivitamins, L- glutamine, herbs, even the DNS shake. I was starting to lose hope until I realized that most of my issues with salicylates and histamines could be partly due to nutrient deficiencies. I started taking the equilife multivitamin pills and that same day, I was able to have a smoothie with all the herbs, veggies and fruits that I had missed so much because I couldn't have salicylates! I can now also use L-glutamine without getting depressive symptoms, so I am using it to heal my gut lining which is really damaged. Feel hopeful once again! Thank you so much for everything!   Angela: My twin boys & I all came down with a flu. We are going on 8 days now with fevers around 101-103 degrees on average (t got as high as maybe 105/106 w/1 child). I took them to see the doctor who knows that antibiotics are a last resort for us. The doctor was ok with waiting until this Saturday (7 days into the symptoms), so when we were still spiking a fever on Saturday I bit the bullet & had us start on antibiotics. The doctor says that anything over 100.4 is considered a fever high enough for antibiotics. I thought I heard you say that for your kids you don't really do much until they hit above 104 degrees. Is that right? Also now that we are on the antibiotics what can we do afterwards to help our gut? I was in the middle of my last month of CBO. Do you suggest I start over?   Megan: Hi! I’ve been struggling after the birth of my second son. It was my second C-section in 14 months and my body was wrecked. I have a vaginal yeast infection I can not get rid of as well as stomach ulcers from taking too much ibprophen and Tylenol… I’m at a loss on what to do and if I should continue taking Pepcid two times a day. I’ve been drinking aloe water that I juice. How do I go about this and what’s going on?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2549 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2543: Cow’s Milk, Decaf Coffee, Artichoke Extract, Collagen & Bone Broth, COA (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Megan: Hi, I’ve been wrestling with the way we eat now with how people have eaten for years. Why do we now survive on milked nuts and oats instead of regular milk? Why do we use powders and substitutions instead of homemade cheese and bread and butter? I just don’t understand how for so many years that was a staple food and now all of a sudden we’re all allergic and we’re all avoiding it (including my 5 year old son whose allergic to diary) As a family we’re reading little house on the prairie where they talk about having milk and cheese and butter and it seems like our eating now is so different and complicated … I guess that’s a long winded question for why? Why is it so different now even if I get raw milk from a good farm my son gets sick or homemade sourdough bread.   Kristen: I drink Purity brand coffee per your recommendation. I see they have a decaf option that is "decaffeinated with a chemical-free natural water process that removes 99.9% of caffeine and retains high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Do you recommend this decaf option? Thanks!   Rebecca: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been hearing a lot about artichoke extract for estrogen dominance recently. I have been taking DIM for quite a while and the one time I tried to go off of it I started breaking out again (breakouts = my main symptom). After over 10 years of trial and error, DIM seems to be the thing that has the most positive effect on my symptoms. I know i'm still missing a piece of the puzzle and I plan to do more lab testing when i'm able, but I live in New York. I was wondering if you could compare/contrast a bit about the differences between DIM & Artichoke extract and when you would recommend/avoid either of them. Also since my body is so reliant on DIM I was wondering what this tells me/what I can do? I eat well, exercise, get 8 hours of sleep, & don't drink or smoke.Thank you!   Josh: Is it ok to mix collagen and bone broth with daily nutritional support. Thanks   Natasha: Hi Dr Cabral, thanks so much for doing all that you do! As an IHP, I tell all my clients to beware of any products that won’t disclose their COAs. Unfortunately I’m in a tough spot with wanting to recommend the DNS, Vit C, etc, but not being able to see the COAs. If you test for all of this, why can it not be disclosed and any plans to do so in the near future?

2542: Cholesterol & Pregnancy, Kidney Stones, CADASIL, Fasting & HRV, Egg Freezing (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Jessica: When I don’t understand something I turn to Dr. Cabral! Thank you for being a trusting person to learn and seek information. My question is.. Is there a correlation to a rise in cholesterol and pregnancy? I haven’t seen this asked before on the ask Cabral episodes… I recently got a lipid panel done and was completely shocked to see that my cholesterol went from 172 in April to 283 in October. I am 26 weeks pregnant with my third baby.   Brianna: Hi! I've been listening to your podcast for months now and I've learned so many helpful things not only for myself but for my family as well. I'm so incredibly grateful for the work you and your team do. A little background, I'm 25 and have had large kidney stones made up of calcium that have required surgery twice in the past 6 years and I just found out I have stones again. (Yay me) This time around, I was told I have medullary sponge kidneys which I've done some research about and the most I can find to help prevent the stones is to lower sodium intake. I already don't eat meat or dairy, drink 80-100oz of water a day and tend to stay away from processed foods as much as possible. Is there anything else that would be helpful? Maybe a calcium supplement? Thank you so much!   Heather: Hi Dr. Cabral! Can you please tell me what you know about CADASIL? I’ve looked in your podcast archives and couldn’t find anything about it. It runs in my best friend’s family (her mom, aunt, and uncle all had it and passed away from it), and now my friend started experiencing stroke-like symptoms and was admitted to the hospital where they said she had a stroke in her sleep. She’s only 26 years old. Appreciate any insight/advise you can give me on this. Thanks so much for all you do. -Heather   Stephanie: Hi doctor Cabral, I absolutely love your podcast and had a quick question: they say that fasting can be stressful for your body- especially if you’re a pre-menopausal woman. However, I’ve noticed that during a longer fast (20-24 hrs), my night-time HRV and deep sleep both double, which I thing means that I’m recovering and not stressing my body. Do you agree, or am I looking at this the wrong way? Thanks so much for your answer!   Whitney: Hello! I am a 35 y/o female and having a hard time making the decision to have a child/children or not. Fertility is likely not an issue for me but I have yet to get lab work to confirm. As my age is getting closer to the cutoff for child bearing my anxiety over this continues to increase, so I wanted to freeze my eggs to stop the clock on the decision. So my question to you is: 1) Is it better to freeze my eggs asap because of my age, or do you think I can hold off still and improve the quality of my eggs by diet/lifestyle inventions to freeze better quality eggs in the future ? And 2) What are your thoughts on egg freezing and IVF in general / might I be undervaluing the importance of getting pregnant naturally? I understand this is a nuanced convo & appreciate your thoughts!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2542 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

While you can set a resolution at any time, I know many of us look for a fresh start and create new goals each January…   One thing I caution you on, however, is that I’ve seen many people set goals to serve a specific mission or help a person or group while in the long run doing harm to themselves…   While this may seem noble in the beginning, the resentment and possible physical or mental harm that sets in ultimately does not serve anyone…   On today’s #CabralConcept 2537, I’d like to go over how not to hurt yourself while helping others, so you can make the most of all this year has to offer - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2537 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2536: Sauna & Breast Implants, Meningococcal Meningitis, Adenomyosis, Acne & Staphylococcus, Chronic Headaches (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jessica: Thank you for all you do! I have learned so much about healing myself though your podcast and running your tests as well as doing the functional medicine detox and the heavy metal detox! For my question… I know the benefits of infrared sauna. I have also heard that for women with breast implants it can cause those heavy metals to leak out of them. I was hoping that you could shed some light on this and advise if women with implants should in fact use an infrared sauna? Thank you so much!   Anonymous: Dr. Cabral, I am curious if you have any experience with long term effects of meningococcal meningitis. I had it when I was an infant and, from what I was told, it was very severe. I am now 28 and struggle with very poor gut motility and overall circulation, causing unbearable constipation/trapped gas and a multitude of of problems in cold weather with my hands and feet. I don't know if there is any connection between these problems and my illness as an infant, but it is really the only major trauma event that could have caused something. I exercise daily, get good sleep, and eat extremely clean. I've tried cutting out nearly every type of food to see if there was a culprit on my plate, but to no avail. I've seen every doctor, ran FM more labs than I can afford, and am still left confused.   Danica: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was recently diagnosed with adenomyosis. I can't find much in your past podcasts about it, so I was hoping you could talk a little about ideas for natural remedies. The main treatments are hysterectomy and uterine artery embolization, neither of which I want to do. I appreciate you!   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, last 2 years I’ve had painful cystic acne on my upper back, many UTIs, & earlier this year I got impetigo around my mouth at the same time as I was battling hand food mouth. also get athletes foot in winter. Because of these issues, I’ve been thinking I maybe have a staphylococcus bacteria problem as this seems to be what many functional medicine drs believe can cause cystic acne. Candida metabolic vitamins test didn’t seem to show elevated bacterial markers, but showed my vitamin C level at zero. Other labs showed CRP is at 16. I’m 34 & eat well, but stressed with small kids. In 2021, my cortisol was flatlined low all day. My TSH is borderline hyper. Question: 1) what are your thoughts? 2) what type of lab test can I run to specifically check for a staph infection?   Shannon: Hi Dr. Cabral, I appreciate your time and insight and have enjoyed learning so much from you on these podcasts. My twelve year old son has been having chronic headaches for at least 5 months now. In addition, he had alopecia post C in 2020 (his hair has mostly grown back now however his upper eyelashes are still missing), plus allergies to dust, mold, cats, dogs, grass, and some trees. He is congested with very poor sense of smell all the time. I am beginning to think his headaches are due to sinusitis and possibly that his eyelashes aren’t growing back because of the constant inflammation in his eyes. I would appreciate any advice as to how to help him. I have him on Quercitin , Vit. C and nettle tea already.

2535: Vertical Heterophoria, Emotional Eating, Collagen & Cartilage, Antiphospholipid Syndrome, Severe Acne, Reduce Sweating (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Tiffany: Good morning Dr. Cabral. Your information and detox have helped me so much over the past year and I am on a mission to do the best for myself and family that I can. I was diagnosed with vertical heterophoria or BVD several years ago. I get terrible anxiety usually while driving and I had a panic attack while going over an extremely high bridge and now I am very anxious whenever I have to drive over bridges. I am usually a very bold person and would not really consider myself anxious, except in these circumstances. Any advice you could give for dealing with this condition? I could not find this topic covered in the podcasts. I do work in front of a computer for 8-10 hours a day but do try to disconnect as soon as I can each evening. Thanks so much for all your great insight.    Natalia: Hi Dr. Cabral, could you do a podcast on emotional eating? Thanks a lot   Patrick: Hey doc hope all is well. About 6 months ago I tore some cartilage in my elbow ,it only bothers me now if I over do it at the gym doing certain exercise’s then it will bother me for a few days. A lot of the things I read said it won’t heal itself because there’s not enough blood flow there ,what do you think. I just started taking your collagen powder so I will be done it by the time you read this ,how soon does it usually take to see some results thanks so much   Michael: Hello Dr.Cabral, I had DVT about 1 1/2 years ago. Went to a hematologist and was told I had APS ( Antiphospholipid Syndrome) a blood clotting disorder. I was told it falls under autoimmune disease. I was told blood thinners (Xarelto 20 mg)would be long term. My question can I reverse this so I don’t have to be on blood thinners the rest of my life. 55 years of age eat very healthy exercise 4 to 5 days a week not over wait. Sincerely Michael   Rachel: Hello Mr. Cabral. I listen to your podcast on my morning drive and the wealth of information has helped me and my family so much. I’ve not quite figured this one out yet. My son at 14 started getting severe acne from what seems like an over production of oil. Nothing worked except for Accutane (I didn’t know any better) but a year later, it’s starting to come back just not severe. He’s now 17. My daughter who is 21 started getting the same kind of acne a year and a half ago and nothing is helping her either. What can be causing this? My heart hurts for them. She’s in College and it’s affecting every aspect of her life. Could this be hereditary? I have not ran any labs because money is an issue. Anything else I could do to help them that’s inexpensive? Thanks   Janet: Why do i sweat sooo much? Im on medication to help but still haven’t noticed any change. I am on antidepressants and anti anxiety medication which is none to increase my sweating but even when i wasnt on them i sweat alot more than normal. Any natural recommendations to help me please!!!!

2529: DMSO & MMS, Safe Pool Water, Acne & Proteolytic Enzymes, Combining Protocols, Donating Plasma, Laxative Everyday (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Luis: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering what your thoughts are on DMSO and MMS (Miracle Mineral Supplement), particularly when it comes to taking them for the elimination of things like SIBO, for example, but also for any other purpose? Thanks   Melissa: What is the safest water system for an inground pool ?   Patrick: Hey doc hope all is well. Huge fan here. I know you did allot of podcasts on proteolytic enzymes but I’m not sure if you mentioned if it would be good to take for acne. I believe you say acne is a result of dirty blood and this enzyme cleans blood so thought this might work good. Thank you for everything you do   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I’m finally on my first FM detox, day 4 & I already feel a bit better, can’t wait to see the results after 21 days! And then straight into CBO.. and CBO finisher afterwards.. I wanted to ask when during CBO would be a good time to start with the Heavy Metal Detox, Mold protocol and Ultimate Sleep Help Protocol? Should I wait until the end of CBO or even the Finisher? And when would you recommend my next detox then..? It wouldn’t have to be another 21 days, right? After all these protocols my body should be much less toxic? vI would also like to ask if you could do an episode about how to properly brew different teas to get the most benefits.. I’m mostly interested in herbal teas and ginger tea, but I think information about all teas would be beneficial.. Thank you   Tonya: Hello Dr Cabral! I have 2 quick questions for you please and thank you! 1. What are the long term effects of donating plasma? 2. Is it okay for people to use exlax every day? (I've seen several moms say their kids with encopresis use ex lax daily and they also say it's safe because it comes from the senna plant.) I also have 2 things you could look into for a review if you'd like, one is the K8 machine (to filter water) ans the other is emf blocking stickers for iPhone and airpods by Waveblock.

2528: Low Progesterone, CBO Protocol & Biofilms, L-Glutamine & Anxiety, Vata Dosha & Veggies, Painless Ulcerative Colitis, Raynaud's (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Marie: Hi Dr. Cabral. Just want to start by saying thank you for offering the lab services/coaching. Brief history – I was chronically undereating (unknowingly) and hitting the gym 5-6x a week. Exhaustion set in late 2019 but I attributed it to work stress. When NYC went into lockdown in early 2020, I thought ‘great! A 2-week vacation!’ But as the weeks piled on so did the pounds. When losing the weight by cutting calories and increasing workouts didn’t work, I joined a nutrition coaching service which focuses on fueling your body not starving it. After a year and a half, I was still struggling to lose, and they recommended bloodwork. I had had the full thyroid panel in the middle of the 18 months and the numbers were fine, so I ran the equilife hormone test and found out I have low prog   Jackie: My question is this. Is the CBO protocol good to disrupt established and tough biofilms? Or is this protocol better for someone who would be using this protocol as a first round against SIBO? Has it ever been used with success on SIBO patients who had tough biofilms to break down? Finally, is there a reason why EDTA is not included in the biofilm buster formula?   Anonymous: Hi. I am so grateful to you and your team for all the information you share. You are truly changing so many people's lives for the better! I had a question about l-glutamine. I have MCAS and i have been taking l glutamine to seal my gut and thus calm down my immune system. However, it has given me anxiety, depression and fatigue. Is this a glutamate issue? What can do to prevent the side effects? Also, I was wondering how long it took for you to resolve your food sensitivities and be able to have lectins again?   Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, I know that you recommend 7-9 cups of fruits & veggies per day, with more coming from veggies. I get about 6 cups of fruits & 3-4 cups of veggies on a good day, sometimes even less. The problem is that I'm a vata dosha & veggies aren't very conducive for gaining or even maintaining weight. Veggies are filling but a very low calorie food. If I eat 5-6 cups of veggies per day then I don't have the appetite to eat other higher calorie foods that will help me increase weight. It gets even hard when I'm trying to build muscle. Is it possible that vatas need less veggies than other doshas or is that just wishful thinking? If not then do you have any suggestions for gaining/maintaining weight while getting my 5-6 cups of veggies? Thank you, really appreciate you & all you do!   Anonymous: Hello, Dr. Cabral, my question is regarding a case of painless ulcerative colitis. When I was first diagnosed with this "disease" I was experiencing all of the standard symptoms: urgency, bloody stool, fatigue etc. My initial flare was brought under control & has remained dormant since. Recently, however, I completed a few of your labs including the Gut Bacteria & Parasite Test. It revealed very high inflammatory markers. I found this troubling since I wasn't showing any symptoms. Fast forward a few months, I completed the CBO protocol & went in for a colonoscopy. My doctor said that I had severe inflammation and needed to go on a biologic. I'm distraught, as I'm still symptom free. My question: How will I know if I am truly well if I can have severe inflammation and no symptoms? What now?   Pamela: I have been suffering from reynauds for years and I’m done . Can you tell me what best to do?? Supplements etc.     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2528 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2522: Collagen Support Dose, CT Scans, Cancer Therapies, Hormone Balancing, Joint Pain & Weakness, Geographic Tongue (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Whit: Hello! Really appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions. My question is regarding dosage for the equilife advanced collagen support. I know the directions are 1 scoop a day, but would there be any added benefit to doing more, say 2 or 3 scoops a day? Also I hear about certain amino acids that are important for assimilating collagen into the body- do you think it would be advisable to take amino acids with it ? (I’m currently loving Ben Greenfield’s Kion aminos) Thanks a bunch! You are the best!   Linsey: Dr. Cabral, I’m a big admirer of yours and can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the knowledge you share. I have a question about how to best repair DNA damage that’s been done from 2 past head CT’s and a dental CT. I already try to live a low toxin lifestyle when it comes to food and products but I feel like I should be doing more to irradiate damage possibly done by these CT scans. I’m very concerned with the cancer risks that could be associated for these scans. Thanks so much for your input!   Danielle: Dear Dr. Cabral, I have a family member who was diagnosed with stage 3 uterine cancer that reached the lymph nodes. I am attempting to search for an IHP that has experience working with cancer patients on the integrativehealthpractitioner.org website but that level on information is hard to find. Do you have any recommendations of an IHP/naturopathic/functional medicine physician with experience working with cancer patients? If you don't know of anyone specific, can you recommend how to go about the search? Would like to find someone who can work alongside her oncologist and primary doctor. Any kind of assistance would be helpful. Thanks!   Sal: Can I please get some tips on improving my hormones. I have had a dutch test and my estrogen progesterone and testosterone were at perimenopausal values. I am in my late 20s. I train regularly and have a fairly good diet. Thank you.   Grace: Hello, my name is Grace. I have been going through a lot of health problems the past year. I started getting muscle weakness and fatigue last year. I had a fever, but was not sick. The weakness was getting worse. My periods were also irregular. In May of this year, I went through a really stressful period of working 40 hours a week and doing a Masters program.Then, I had an edible, and my periods stopped altogether for a couple months. During that time, my hands started hurting, body stiff, and it felt like I was getting arthritis. I started talking with a functional medicine practitioner, and we did a hair mineral analysis and a hormone test. My progesterone was low, and my mineral levels were off and my Lyme test came back positive. I was won Is there anything else I should do?   Bri: Hello, my husband has Geographic tongue, he was diagnosed in his early teen years. It annoys him regularity and is impacted by spicy or sour foods. Is there anything that can be done to help?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2522 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2521: Red Light for Kids, Parkinson’s, Albumin & Testosterone, Sorbitol Intolerance, Damage from Alcohol, Candida & Mold (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Bec: Hey Stephen! I have a 5 week old little girl and I was wondering if it is safe to use my Joovv red light panel on her to reset her circadian rhythm and help her build her melatonin? If so what time of day would be best and for how long? And if not, what age would it be safe for her to start using it?   Angela: My mother is 83 years old and suffering from Parkenson's. She is on Levo/Cabidopa, Aspirin, Calcium, Vit D3 (but only 2000 iu). She weighs about 135 lbs so I believe she needs more Vit D3. She is also on iron and Modafinil. I believe the Modafinil is to help with her daytime sleepiness. She struggles with drinking enough water and gets constipated (probably from the iron too) and frequent UTIs as well. She fell for the 2nd time and broke her hip again so she is wheel chair bound, and movement is very minimal. All in all she is a hot mess and it's really hard to watch her decline this way. What would you suggest for someone that age and at that level of fragility?   Ryan: Hello Doc, Wanted to see if you could briefly explain the connection or potential of albumin binding to testosterone and lowering the free levels of test in the body. My albumin has chronically been about a 5 or 5.1. My total testosterone has always been high, but my free doesn’t seem optimal. I’m 31 and just looking to see what I can do naturally. I’m an IHP 2 so I understand the basics of increasing testosterone naturally. But wanted to hear your thoughts on albumin and testosterone connection, how can we lower albumin levels to a better range. Lower protein? Lower sodium? Any genetic issues I should look into? Liver or kidney? Etc. Thanks!   Emily: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am wondering if you could share your thoughts on sorbitol intolerance, how to test for it, and how to treat it? I have been diagnosed with IBS in the past (which was an unhelpful diagnosis at best) and have recently been wondering if I may snuggle with sorbitol intolerance as well, which I have not been tested for. My thinking about this stems from the intense gas, bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort I have been struggling with daily lately. These symptoms are not new for me, however, I have noticed they are more intense and frequent lately, and am wondering if this is connected to my increased sorbitol consumption over the summer from stone fruits (peaches, plums, nectarines…). Thank you for your work! I am saving up now to take Levels 1&2 IHP:)   Sara: Hi there, I love your podcast - thank you for your work! Does fasting help the clean up of damage from chronic alcohol abuse on the body and brain? Thank you! Sara   Linden: Hi there! I would love any help I can get for lowering Candida while living in mold.

2515: Vedicinals 9, Middle of the Night Pain, Formula Recommendation, Granuloma Annulare, Fast Heart Rate, Psoriasis & Fissures (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Brad: Have you heard anything about vedicinals9 in terms of treating long covid or prevention altogether? My family and I have had covid 5 or more times since March of 2020 even though we try and keep our immune system on the up and up. I’m beginning to wonder if the effects of having covid are becoming more taxing on my body as time goes by. I’ve read good reports on vedicinals9 and would like to gather your thoughts. Thank you and look forward to hearing from you, Brad   Joesph: Hey doc hope all is well. I’m 48 and a very active person I hit the gym a few days a week and play hockey a few days a week. I’d like to know why whenever I have a pulled or strained muscle or if I just over did it at the gym the pain seems to bother me most in the middle of the night. Thanks   Michelle: Dear Dr. Cabral, I am a lactation consultant and RN working in a hospital/clinic setting. I encourage breastfeeding as much as I can and consider it the best start for babies, when possible. But not every woman makes enough milk, even with all the efforts! Various reasons such as infertility, PCOS, diabetes, obesity can affect milk production. I often have women that really don’t want to feed formula, but their baby needs supplementation. Is there a formula you would recommend, or do you have any suggestions as to what to look for in an infant formula? I appreciate any input you have! Thank you!   Eva: What is the cause of granuloma annulare? How do you get rid of it?   Gina: Hi Dr Cabral! I am looking for advice regarding fast heart rate that seems to mimic POTS- it'll go up to 130+ about 10 mins after eating a meal especially lunch + especially going from sitting to standing. Sometimes just by walking outside or going up and down a few stairs. My RHR is in the 60s and overnight goes into the 50s. Seen a cardiologist, all clear. HTMA showed high calcium, electrolytes under 4. Cortisol/hormones test; cortisol AM high (18) but the rest of the day + night cortisol normal. Progesterone high, estrogen + other hormones normal + ratios all normal. Added mag, natural Gatorade, multi, C, D, zinc, plan to start adrenal soothe but worried bc of the 3 normal cortisol readings. Wondering what you think I should do next and if you think adrenal soothe is ok? Ty so much!!   Kayla: Hi Dr.Cabral, I just want to start off by saying thank you for all that you do, your podcasts give me hope everyday! So I’ve done two labs (starter kit) and have been working with one of your IHP coaches (she’s great!) I’ve done the 7 day detox & I am now on the parasite protocol it’s my second week: here’s my question I suffer from psoriasis and have occasional (couple times a day) anal itching & fissures, doctors keep telling me it’s related to psoriasis the itching, and the fissure due to constipation which I am not. I can’t shake off my negative thoughts that it’s something worse, and every time I look down there I can’t see anything but some fissures and a bit of swelling. Is this really related to Candida and parasites? My Candida levels on my lab results weren’t that high ..   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2515 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2514: High Blood Sugar, CalZbone, Chalazion Cysts, Hair Loss & T3 Medication, Glucose Revolution (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Rob:  Hi Doc, me again. Sorry forgot to ask about my blood sugar. I've been wearing a CGM for almost 2 months now and I was shocked how I was basically pre-diabetic. Fasting glucose was about 120 and it could spike all the way up to 180 after eating my prep meal which could involve something like lentils, sweet potato and peas + olive oil. I have gone to a completely starch free diet where I'm eating plenty of cruciferous veg, pulses. 20g+ protein in every meal and healthy fats. No fruits, grains or starches such as sweet potato. I do have a cheat meal per week and anytime I try to add a starch, my blood glucose spikes again. Am I supposed to be on a starch free diet forever? Why is my fasting glucose still around over 100 when I'm not eating any starches? This is so confusing. Bearing in mind that I already get my 10k steps and I'm generally moving after my meals (washing dishes). Please help, I'm so lost.   Anonymous: Hello, I'm 38 years old and my Dexa Scan came back with upsetting results. I have -2.0 T score in my spine which is significantly decreased from 2 years ago. I am wondering if you know anything about CalZbone (Cissus quadrangularis) supplement or IMD supplements (which have an Oseto product containing this). I am worried about putting things into my body if I don't know about any potential side effects, especially long term. At the same time i'm working on my nutririon, i'm working with an endocrinologist for on my hormones and thyroid (which have been a mess for years), i'm also working on increasing the amount of calcium in my diet and making sure I have adequate Vitamin D and K. Any feedback about CalZbone, or about suggestions to make sure I can reverse this bone loss would be wonderful. Also, your amazing and use many of your supplements daily including DNS, Adrenal Soothe and Thyroid Support. Thank you for all you do!   Casey: Hello I tried to submit a question and it keeps rejecting my submission so I was hoping I could send it here! Thank you so much for anything you can do to help. Here is my question: Hi there! Do you have any recommendations for chalazion cysts in the eye? My poor mama keeps getting them and they’re doing repeat surgeries monthly and putting her on antibiotics each time and just say it’s part of life now which has to be bs. I’m going to sign her up to be a client with you but hoping there was something she can do in the meantime! Thank you for all you do!   Mary: After reading and listening to all of your info on hair loss, trying to get to the root cause of mine (all over scalp thinning). In your experience, is it possible to experience hair loss after adding T3 medication (low, at 5 mg)? It does say it's a potential side-effect. I was already on NP thyroid 90 mg. with TSH of 2.3, FT3 of 2.7, FT4 of .9, TPO 11, TGA   Fiona: Good morning! I would love for you to review the book Glucose Revolution by Jessie Inchauspé . It’s a very easy to read book and it would be great to hear your thoughts on the author’s approach to reducing glycaemic variability.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2514 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2508: Anti EMR Paint, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Perthes Disease, Castor Oil & Sauna, High Estrogen (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Lorena: What are your thoughts on Anti EMR paint? Would you say it’s legit at blocking emf?   Bridgette: Hi Stephen Cabral, I am a student of yours taking the integrative health practitioner course. I can't thank you enough for all of the work you have done and continue to do. I thank God for you. I am thoroughly enjoying this course and am in awe with how much prep work you have done for us all. I can't thank you enough! I am physically feeling the best I have felt in years! I have a question regarding Maslow's hierarchy of needs. For the basic physiological needs, you mention sex being one of them and I was wondering if you would elaborate on this. Please forgive me as this isn't exactly a health question but I would really love some deeper clarity if possible, as I have struggled for years with knowing how exactly I want to relate to sex and intimacy. I am 32 years old and have been so disconnected from intimacy and sex, I seem to always be asking myself if this is whats healthiest for me. I don't know what the answer is. Can you please explain why sex is one of the basic physiological needs? Of course it's needed for pro-creation, but is it actually needed and necessary to be a balanced healthy happy being, climbing the pyramid to self-actualization? I would really love to hear your thoughts. Like I mentioned above, I have been confused about this for years. Thanks!   Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all you do, I have learned so much from you. I have a friend who’s son has just been diagnosed with pethres disease. I can’t find anything on this and I wondered what your thoughts were on it and what you would do if your daughter had it? I appreciate you, thank you.   Sara: Hey Dr. Cabral what do you think about using castor oil while you’re in the sauna for additional detox support combined with heat?   Tamara: What do you think for a post menopausal women taking strontium? My doctor recommended it after my bone density test came back borderline for osteoporosis. I am now taking calmag and DNS shake everyday along with this product. Wondering what you thought about this product and vs your bone supplement. Thanks for everything you do.   Rob: Hi Doc! I hope you can help me as I've been feeling very confused lately. I've ran all of my labs and I've done all protocols: 21 day detox, CBO, heavy metal, take my DNS, omega 3, vitamin D, mag-cal, zinc etc every day. I'm 32 year old Vata/Pitta, eat mostly plant-based with approx 60g of protein everyday. All organic. My labs show high estrogen and Adrenal phase 3 (burnout). I have a corporate job so I'm not surprised about the burnout and I've been making some lifestyle changes such as quitting strength training for now and just doing yoga and 10k steps and 1h meditation everyday. So I'm working hard to elevate those cortisol levels again but I'm confused about the high estrogen. I probably eat soy twice a week from tofu but that's pretty much eat and I'm not really exposed to any xenoestrogens since everything at home is natural. No oestrogen-based red meat either...

2507: Severe Food Allergies, Natural Flavors in DNS, Yoni Pearls, REM Sleep, Deviated Septum, Sole Water (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Alyssa: My daughter (2 years old) has developed severe food allergies to peas, lentils, green beans and most recently sesame and chickpeas. We had to use her epi pen for sesame and chickpeas about 4 months ago and these were foods she had previously without any reaction. Fortunately we had her EpiPen for the previous known allergies so we were able to address the multi systemic reaction to the sesame and chickpeas. We have been working with her pediatrician, an allergist, and also a local ND and have incorporated D3, fish oil and acacia powder into her diet along with her probiotics (variety, sometimes I give her the ones I get from you) and a multivitamin. She had eczema as a baby so I put her on a gluten and dairy free diet and the skin issues seem to clear up. Not wanting to restrict a toddler‘s diet too much, we incorporated the dairy and gluten back in. I strive for Whole-based foods, fruits and vegetables, but she can be a very picky eater and most of the gluten and dairy free items such as the cheese she used to eat has chickpea or pea protein in it. What else can I do for my 2-year-old to make sure we never have to use the epi pen again? Any tests or protocols okay for her age to find out what’s happening w/ her immune system? She is 25lbs.   Natasha: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all the incredible work you do! As a former patient of yours, and now student in IHP2, I’m a big fan of your work and mission. As I will soon be working with clients as an IHP and recommending protocols, I would love to be able to recommend the DNS. However, I recently purchased it to use myself after years of being away from it, and am surprised at the “other ingredients.” I am curious to learn why natural flavors are included (versus pure extracts for flavor) and what those consist of, as well as sugar and salt? I’m surprised they are included at all, but They don’t even say coconut sugar, Himalayan salt, or one of the other “clean versions” of these ingredients. These are all ingredients I tell my clients to watch out for so I know there would be questions involved if I recommend a product that includes them, and would love to have more insight to help explain that. Thank you in advance, looking forward to hearing back!   Anonymous: Hi, hope you’re well… What do you think about yoni pearls? Thank you, have a great week ahead!   Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I’ve been tracking my sleep for the last 18 months with an OURA ring. My deep sleep is quite good however I appear to get very little REM sleep (typically 15-45min). Apart from sleep timing, are you aware of any supplements or practices which affect amount of REM sleep you get? Thanks!   Ryan: Hey Doc. I have gone through IHP 1-2, done all of the protocols for improved health that equi life has to offer besides the mold. My question is in regards to deviated septum’s and wanted to get your latest take since I know you deal with it as well. I believe I was born with mine. Obviously I focus on gut health and lowering histamine. That does reduce some inflammation. But even at my best, my left nostril just cannot oxygenate very well. I have a cone beam scan that shows the reduced airways which I got done to check on my oral health. I do not want surgery but really want a better option than what I got. What’s frustrating is when I do cardio, such as HIIT sprints. My recovery is so much fast if I pull a part my nostrils in between sets. That alone does make me consider surgery to widen it. Because of the major difference I feel when I peel my nostrils out. This must have a dramatic impact on stress in my body if I can’t breath well naturally. Is there a directory for finding holistic ENTs or something of the sort?   Natalie: What do you think about sole water and are there benefits to drinking a tsp of it in your water daily?     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2507 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2501: Extreme Sensory Sensitivity, Gut Issues Starting Point, Periodic Fever Syndrome, Histamine & Salicylate Intolerance, High 2HIB, Shikimate Pathway (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Stacey: Hello Dr. Cabral I first want to say how much I’m enjoying your podcasts and learning so much . I have a lot of bad symptoms due to POTS/ dysautonomia that was diagnosed 4 years ago but I have been suffering for 16 years with lots of other symptoms and by far my worst symptom is extreme sensory sensitivity… the smallest things like running into a friend at the grocery store and saying high gives me a seizure type feeling.. I feel as if my eyes will roll behind my head and I get super hot and loose the ability to say certain words .. it’s absolutely horrible and has robbed my life . I’m in the process of doing the big 5 and praying it will help .. in the mean time what are your top supplements you recommend to calm the nervous system down ? I feel like I’m a hermit unable to go to movies , ball games , dinner parties ect … family & friends don’t understand what I’m going through at all and it’s extremely depressing . Thanks for all your help .   Priya: Hi Dr. C! Love your show. I was wondering if you have multiple issues, ie. H. Pylori, Gut Bacteria, Heavy metals, candida etc. which issue/program do you start with first? Would you start with detoxing heavy metals first?   Tory: Hi Dr. Cabral! About a year ago my daughter(4) was unofficially diagnosed with periodic fever syndrome by an infectious disease doctor. She was experiencing very frequent fevers up to a week long, every month or more. Since seeing a functional chiropractor and my own extensive research the fevers have mostly subsided with vitamin C, D3+k2 and vitamin A supplementation daily. Her tonsils were/still are quite large. I’m curious if there is more I should be doing to support her immune system/shrink her tonsils. (She has never been v) (we also opted to not remove the tonsils)   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for all the knowledge you share with us! You are truly a blessing! I have struggled with histamine and salicylate intolerance for a while now. I am mostly okay when i avoid my trigger foods but I want to fully heal. I can't currently afford lab testing, so i have had to do a lot of guessing to figure out what is going on with me. I took out all the foods i am sensitive too and i have improved my lifestyle to offer my body more rest and reduce toxicities. I recently started taking XXXXX, a probiotic formulated for people with histamine intolerance, and i have had a lot of digestive discomfort taking it, as well as fatigue and skin rashes. I then used activated charcoal since i suspected i was dealing with die off and that helped a bit but not much. Similarly, i have had negative reactions to other supplements. Methylated bvitamins and methyl folate for histamine intolerance made me depressed and gave me severe fatigue. L-glutamine also made me really depressed. Omega 3 supplements made my histamine intolerance worse. Multivitamins with herbs trigger my salicylate sensitivity. I am really struggling to figure out how I can give my body the nutrients it needs(The only veggies i can currently eat are cabbage) Any advice :) ?   Jen: Hi, I just did a lab test that showed my industrial toxicant level of 2-hydroxybutyric acid (2HIB) was extremely high (off the charts!). What could this be caused by if not from groundwater and what would you suggest to clear this from my system? I feel like the level is so high it can’t possibly be solely from water I’m showering with since we never drink tap, ever! My husband and I are currently starting a 7 day cabral detox followed by CBO and CBO finisher as both our levels of arabinose were quite high. I’m doing all this testing to further investigate what’s causing me to constantly feel nauseous and have mild stomach aches almost daily. Thank you for your input. I absolutely love your podcast and listen to them daily on my drive to work. I’ve enrolled in IHP level 1 and can’t wait to complete it so I can get into the meat in level 2!   Emily: Hi Dr. Cabral! Could you explain the shikimate pathway and how it’s affected by glyphosate. Thank you!

2500: Vitamin A Toxicity, Intermittent Amnesia, Eczema & Dermatitis, Salt Water Flush, Digestive Concerns & CBO Protocol (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Margie: Hi Dr. Cabral! My questions are about Vit A toxicity. In April I started using a retinol cream at night then developed dry lips that eventually became cracked, bleeding, and painful in July! I also experienced general dryness in my mouth, eyes, and bowels. After listening to your podcast about what your lips tell about your health, I realized that it was the retinol cream & stopped using it immediately. My Vit A history includes 3 treatments of Accutane. It makes sense that adding retinol to my night time routine finally “tipped that scale”, overloading my liver. I’ve done 2 CBO protocols & several detoxes since 2018. Before I realized that the cream was the source of my problems, I did a 7-day detox & noticed that my lips worsened esp. during the 2 days of fasting. I stopped using the DNS powder, all supplements that listed Vit A on the label & stopped eating foods known to have high levels of Vit A. After several weeks, my symptoms improved. I heard you mention in a podcast that you were going to talk about a low Vitamin A diet but haven’t been able to find anything on that topic. What would a low Vitamin A diet consist of? Once my lips are completely healed, would it be safe to resume DNS, supplements, & foods with Vit A? Thanks a bunch!   Paula: Hello and thank you for all that you do Dr Cabral! My 77 yr old mother has had intermittent amnesia episodes for over 13 years now, occurring on average 3 to 4 times per year. She has had extensive testing with no definitive outcome. Tests & scans looking at epilepsy, blood supply to the brain & heart were normal. There have been no head traumas that she is aware of in the past. I have recently started looking into it further myself and have come across a condition called Global Transient Amnesia which describes her symptoms almost exactly. When having an "episode" as she calls them, she loses short term memory for about 1/2 an hour and has no idea what she was doing at the time, nor what has happened in her recent past. She is still able to perform normal functions and is alert and very aware that the episode is happening but is just unable to recall anything from days/weeks prior for about 25 minutes or so which is distressing for her. Her memory returns gradually over that time and is then often very tired afterward. I am wondering if there could be an underlying issue that could be causing this and if you recommend any functional testing? She has been taking Ginkgo Biloba and liquid magnesium on and off for years without any notable differences. Thanks so much in advance.   Dani: Hi Dr cabral, grateful for your work and would love to hear your thoughts. A few months ago I had my first eczema and dermatitis flare up since 2019 when I healed my gut and rebalanced my body with my naturopath. The dermatitis is on my face, either seborrheic or perioral. I have used native and no pong deodorants for years but they irritated and inflamed the eczema on my armpits, it was very painful so I didn't apply anything all winter (based in Aus). My first though was gut-skin connection so I've been using a gut powder. Also ran the big 5 (just have one more test to do). Have already received my intolerance test back as it felt urgent to me but everything was fine on it (not one intolerance?!) I finished the 21 day detox last week. Still some dermatitis on my face, and I just tried some Bicarb free no pong Deodorant and a few hours later a rash and itching started. So now I'm wondering what other causes should I be looking at for this skin flare up. I'm sure I'll get some more answers from my big 5 but I was hoping it would have been something as simple as the food intolerance which I've experienced in the past. I do have some hormonal issues which were the main reason for my big 5 but wasn't sure if that could be a link to my eczema. Thanks again, appreciate you!   Luis: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to get your thoughts on the Salt Water Flush. I believe this is also a ayurvedic practice, but I could be wrong. It involves drinking about a pint of warm to hot water, with about 2 table spoons of salt (pink or sea salt). After some time, it will purge the contents of the intestines until the water eventually comes out clear. The only downside I know of is that it may cause electrolyte imbalances, but replenishing those isn't a problem for me. I have done this many times over the past few years, but wanted your opinion on this procedure as well. Thanks for all you do!   Nikki: Hi Dr. Cabral, -I’m 55 yo female, mainly vata with some kapha, exercising 6 days weekly, 5’6” 112 lbs. -I’ve done the 21 day detox and the 7 day detox 3 times this past year. I’ve also done the Big 5 Labs and neurotransmitter test. I have candida and yeast overgrowth along with several food sensitivities (probably from leaky gut). I’ve done the CBO protocol with citricidal drops, noticing digestive improvement only while on the citricidal drops. Each time I introduced new foods I had gas, bloating and loose stools throughout the remainder of the CBO protocol so I didn’t keep eating them. -I then did the 3 day stool test (no h-Pylori or parasites), spoke with one of your health coaches and did the Limited Yeast protocol with the citricidal drops but continued to have the bloating, gas and loose stools after introducing new foods so, I'm still not eating anything off the sensitive gut guide except for once or twice a week when I try a new food. I take Healthy Belly 3 x daily and Healthy Gut Support each morning along with digestive enzymes when I try new foods. -I’ve done the Para Protocol, Intestinal Cleanse and Heavy Metal Detox. -My hormones are still not aligned although I’ve taken the Equilife estrogen and progesterone supplements-presumable my digestion isn’t able to absorb the nutrients from the supplements. I also tried seed cycling but my digestive problems worsened. -I have restless leg which is somewhat helpful with magnesium cream. I take cal/mag at dinner and full spectrum magnesium at bedtime. I drink 2 DNS shakes daily. -I also have the antiphospholipid syndrome and take fish oils which has kept my platelets in range. -My right thumb is constantly swollen and in pain. -My stomach acid was slightly low so I’ve been taking 3 Betaine HCL daily but haven’t noticed any improvement in digestion. -My allergies (of 52 yrs) are better since eliminating dairy in January and I’m not on meds any longer, just Quercitin 3 x daily. -My health coach says to do another round of the CBO protocol and that should help so I’ll be doing that again and will just be finishing when you get this. I’m concerned I will still feel the same and won’t be able to introduce foods I can actually continue eating without problems. -Please let me know if you have any thoughts you think may help.     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2500 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Last week I went over a new research article that detailed certain ways in which you can extend your life expectancy by over 3 years…   I truly believe that if the study was longer, that number could be increased by 8-10 years.   Today I wanted to focus in on one part of the study that I find to be crucial.   In the stressful world we live in, we have to find ways to reduce our fight or flight reaction, lower cortisol levels, and calm the nervous system.   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2497 I want to go over the relaxation response and how you can easily incorporate this into your daily routine in just 10-20 minutes - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2497 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

It has been estimated that over 50% of the world's population have low vitamin D levels…   I am not surprised by this figure as we consistently see insufficient vitamin D levels on new client labs every day.   Vitamin D is a critical component in almost all important functions in the body and low levels can manifest with a variety of symptoms.   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2496 I want to go over what the symptoms of low vitamin D are, ways you can increase your levels, and which Vitamin D foods are best - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2496 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2495: How to Overcome Uncertainty & Go After Your Dreams (MM)

We all have the potential to be, do, and have all that we want in this life…   We may start out with big dreams and goals, however, the voice in our head begins to quiet over time and we start to settle for smaller dreams.   Fear and uncertainty take hold and we forgo taking the next steps toward our goals because we are unsure how or if it’s going to work out.   But on today’s #CabralConcept 2495 I want to share with you the path you can take to develop confidence in yourself and how to overcome uncertainty & go after your dreams - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2495 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2494: Sugar vs Non-Caloric Sweeteners, Dealing with Multiple Symptoms, Pancreatic Insufficiency, SSRIs & Mental Health, High AG Ratio (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a quick question on sugar vs non-caloric sweeteners such as xylitol, erythritol and mannitol. I mostly eat a very healthy Mediterranean diet however sweets are my guilty pleasure! I try not too eat too much sugar and avoid artificial sweeteners at all cost, so lately I've been buying some ice cream and chocolate sweetened with xylitol and erythritol assuming this would be 'better for me', but deep down I'm wondering whether a bit of sugar would actually be better than these additives. I've listened to your podcasts on natural non-nutritive sweeteners but never heard you directly compare them to sugar and say which would be a healthier choice. For context I'm fit and healthy with good insulin sensitivity but have suffered from IBS-D in the past. Thanks!   Luke: I have been through quite a lot, from going to the gym 6 days a week, eating relatively balanced, happy and healthy individual to one day January 2nd 2021, massive panic attack I thought i was going to die. 2 weeks later, Fibromyalgia symptoms, then Chronic Fatigue, then burning sensations all over my body, then balance issues, then brain fog got so bad I didn't even recognize who I was. I ended up with 30 plus chronic symptoms.  I found functional medicine and I have healed 20 of the 30 symptoms I was experiencing but some still remain. I am a strong believer that EBV was the main cause for all of this. My remaining symptoms are (new symptom) very warm sensation, feels like someone poured warm milk down the left side of my leg, calf mainly but also my arm and sometimes my head. ER said these warm sensations are nothing to worry about and go home. Ectopic beats, could this be EBV or the parasite, I did a 6 month parasite protocol Still have Blastocystis hominis. But because I got 80% better, was it really ever the parasite as a lot of people I spoke to said it is super bad. But I could never get rid of it with taking very targeted supplements like everything in your parasite protocol and also a 10 day course of a compounded anti parasitic antibiotic.  I feel my heart beat generally all over my body, very heavy at times especially when I do something active, I think the main issue is that I can feel it. I've been through 2 cardioligist and they say everything is normal and fine and benign ectopics. This is the main issue I want to get rid of.  Still fatigue and bodily sensations remain too.  I WAS 80 percent better, but now about 50% better.  Surely after 12 months of clean eating, protocols left right and centre, targeted supplements to go along with my results, I would be feeling the needle move forward and not backwards.  What am I missing here? Thank you Dr Cabral   Joy: Hello Dr Cabral, my question/concern is related to pancreatic insufficiency. After years of being treated for CBO then SIBO, plus ongoing treatment for past trauma and still no improvement, actually feeling worse with more bloating and gas my gastroenterologist did more stool testing. The results showed pancreatic insufficiency. I am told the only way to treat this is by taking the prescription digestive enzymes. I was also told just take the enzymes and I’ll be fine, that I should be able to eat what I want. I have been taking the enzymes for over a month now and still experiencing bloating and gas, although much better than before taking them. Are taking the enzymes the only answer? There must be other things I can do I support my system? Thank you for your help! Thank you for all you do!   Joan: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m addicted to your podcasts. :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us for free!! My question: I know you said something to the effect that anything that’s wrong with the body can be fixed or reversed, but does that pertain to mental issues as well? I’m 57 and have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I’ve been taking SSRIs for 30 years. I’m worried that there will be poor long-term side effects. I’m also afraid to wean off them because I’ve tried that and it wasn’t pretty. Thank you for your help! Joan   Thomas: What would you do about a high AG ratio? My Albumin has been high for two years in a row, and this year my globalin level got closer to the bottom of the range triggering a high A/G ratio. I do the quarterly Dr. Cabral detox and typically add in the blueberries and sweet potatoes day 3 since I’m apt to losing weight.

2493: DFVB Flavor, Uveitis, Inducing Period, Adolescent Sports Nutrition, Posterior Vitreous Detachment, NMN & Resveratrol (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Heather: Hi, me again! I also had a quick question about the natural flavors listed on the ingredient list for the Daily Fruit and Vegetable powder. What is it? I was under the impression that natural flavors are just another word for artificial flavors but I doubt you would put that in any of your products. Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions!   Amal: Hi Dr Cabral, I've been diagnosed with an inflammatory eye condition called Uveitis in my left eye. Doctors have not looked into what's causing it but I think it is autoimmune. I also seem to have something called lipedema. Everytime I try to detox my body, it will accelerate the inflammation in my eye, causing further damage to the eye. I tried to take iodine and it would help my eye but cause me to rapid fat gain everywhere. I then tried N acetyl cysteine and the same rapid weight gain but it would lower inflammation in the eye and clear my vision. Then I tried chlorella and spirulina and I would feel coolness in my eyes in 10 mins and it would clear my floaters, inflammation and improve vision. However I will gain a lot of body fat within 2 days of taking the chlorella & spirulina. I came across gynostemma herbal tea and I started losing weight within days but my eye would start hurting and I could also feel weakness in my right eye. I'm not sure what to do. I cant lose the weight without hurting my eye and I can't detox my liver or the rest of my body without gaining weight. My hair has become damaged and dry and I have developed a lot of cellulite on my legs and excess fat around my ankles and everywhere else. I am trying to work on gut health Any advice would be helpful.    Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I would love to get your opinion about inducing period with prescription drugs. I lost my periods a while ago, but I'm only 38 so probably too early to be menopausal. 4 years ago I was pregnant and then was breastfeeding my baby for a while. It's been about 2 years since I stopped breastfeeding, but my cycles don't want to return. After having my baby I developed gut issues. Later I also found out I have hypothyroidism and Hashimoto. I've been addressing both. Overall I feel now much better and stronger comparing to where I was a year ago (thanks to moving to a new house and thanks to your protocols. I've done para pro and currently I'm in the muddle of CBO protocol) I should mention that I am underweight (BMI: 16.2) Since I've been feeling better recently, do you think I could now "induce" my period with a medication? Or do you think I should still wait longer until my body decides it's time. I'm not sure if it's good for me to be that long without cycles. I often hear from other women that once first period is induced, next ones come on their own. I tried Vitex in the past but stopped because I didn't feel well taking it. Thank you so much for your answer. I'm forever thankful for all your help.    Paula: Can you do a podcast on adolescent sports medicine or adolescent sports nutrition? Thanks.   Lynn: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’ve enjoyed your podcast for years now, thank you for such great content. Recently I was diagnosed with posterior vitreous detachment by my optometrist. What would you suggest? Thank you so much Lynn    Zak: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been looking at taking NMN together with Trans Resveratrol however am concerned about any implications these 2 supplements may have on Hashimotos which I have. I have read a pubmed study suggesting that TSH may increase and that NMN is an antagonist to thyroid hormones? I would love to take NMN for all the benefits mentioned in your previous podcast however have reservations. Are you a able to shed some light on the effects NMN may have on the thyroid in particular Hashimotos? Thanks so much for all your insightful material. Zak   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2493 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Did you know that 1 out of 5 women are experiencing symptoms of functionally low thyroid?   Conventional medicine will tell us that anyone between the range of .5-5 is considered healthy and would not be regarded as having low thyroid or Hashimoto’s.   But in reality, the optimal range is .5-2 and those who are outside of this range might be experiencing symptoms that occur with a functionally low thyroid.   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2490 I want to see if you have any of these hypothyroidism symptoms + the low thyroid signs to look out for so you can determine if you might be experiencing functionally low thyroid - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2490 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2487: Kidney Tumor, Lecithin, Chemical Peels, Mushrooms & Pregnancy, Sinus Trouble, CBO Protocol & Biofilms, Earth Soil Probiotic Strains, Akkermansia Muciniphila (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Donna: Hi Dr Cabral! I was recently diagnosed with a renal AML of 1.3cms and focal nodular neoplasm on my liver was noticed on my ultrasound. I need to now do an MRI to further investigate. I can’t find any archived podcasts on these issues. Some background info: I was on “Yas” birth control pill for 8 years from 14-22 years old, and in the last 2 years I took antibiotics 8 times for UTIs. I’m someone who normally NEVER takes medication. I eat well, don’t drink or smoke, but I’ve undergone a lot of stress since becoming a mom 4 years ago and feel like it’s been since that time that my health has started to deteriorate as I try to juggle motherhood with running my own growing business. I’ll be running the big 5 labs in 2 weeks, as I’m convinced they will shed more light on my health. Any input from you would help! Will these tumors ever go away in your experience? Thank you so much, I value your consideration and time!   Maria: Hi Dr Cabral! I would love to hear your thoughts on lecithin as a supplement. Do you recommend it? If so, how does it support the body and what benefits are there? I've heard it connected to cognitive functions, nerves, skin, cholesterol etc. Could it be helpful for someone who has signs of dementia? What about when there's loss of sensitivity, tingling and numbness in lower parts of the legs and feet? Or is there anyone is particular that is at risk of being low in lecithin? Many many thanks for all you do, your podcast is like my encyclopedia on all health related matters.   Jesseca: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for all of the education you share. I’ve learned so much from you and am so grateful to have resources like yours to empower myself and my family to live happy, healthy lives. I have two separate questions that I asked in the Facebook support group, and they don’t appear to have been answered before: 1) What is your opinion on chemical peels and products like retinol as part of a regular skin care routine? As I understand it, both make your skin very sensitive to the sun (requiring very diligent SPF application), which raises some red flags for me. What do you think? 2) What is your opinion on using mushrooms like lions mane, chaga, and cordyceps while pregnant? I’m planning on getting pregnant in the next year and am thinking about how to replace my morning coffee. When I’ve decided to give up caffeine in the past, I found mushrooms like this (e.g. FourSigmatic’s functional creamer) to work really well as an alternative. I know you recommend reducing herbs while pregnant. Would mushrooms like this fall in the same category? Thank you! Jesseca   Tina: You are amazing, and thanks for all you do! My 13-year-old son was just diagnosed with severe swelling in his sinuses, a deviated septum, and sinus polyps. I have him on daily omegas, daily activated mullti, periodic balanced zinc, daily probiotic, 3 HistPro 2 X per day, and I just ordered the alkalizing vitamin c (all Equilife products). I was forced to start him on Flonase, but I also have him on the nutribiotic GSE nasal spray. They want to do surgery, but they agreed to see if his nose improved after three months on the Flonase. So, three questions: 1-How much alkalizing vitamin c should he take? 2- Is it fine to keep him on all of these other things, and for how long? 3-Is there anything else I could be doing before this follow-up visit to help him so that his nose improves and they don't want to push us into the surgery? He's just over 100 pounds and very fit and active. He has all of the seasonal allergies and allergies to peanuts, tree-nuts, and sesame. I know it will take a while for you to answer, and I did ask on Facebook as well, but I know this will be an ongoing issue, so I wanted to get your opinion since I really value it.   Jackie: My practitioner has recommended the Candida and Bacterial Optimizer (CBO) protocol. He is not an expert on Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, however. He has noted that my good bacteria diversity is really low. I have been on antibiotics and antimicrobials for 10 months to combat my SIBO. So far, no luck. My hydrogen level remains elevated. My question is this. Is this particular protocol good to disrupt established and tough biofilms? Or is this protocol better for someone who would be using this protocol as a first round against SIBO? Has it ever been used with success on SIBO patients who had tough biofilms to break down? Finally, is there a reason why EDTA is not included in the biofilm buster formula?   Ales: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have a question regarding earth probiotic strains like B.coagulus, B.clausii, B.subtilis. Lately, I have seen many products of these particular strains being used, especially in combination with botanicals and biofilm removers to help with SIBO. Is there any real evidence regarding soil based probiotics or you aren't convinced of their efficacy? With SIBO or in general?   Ales: Hello Dr. Cabral, in my last question I forgot to add that I work in a functional medicine clinic, where we analyse gut microbiom. We see very often low counts of akkermansia muciniphila, which is critical for healthy gut barrier. Soil based probiotics are suppose to indirectly increase akkermansia. Do you see any valuable evidence of that?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2487 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Check out today's questions:    Eilise: Hello Dr. Cabral, My 9 year old daughter has suffered greatly most of her life from chronic stomach pains, switching between constipation and diarrhea. She has Hyper mobility in her arms and hips, has cold hands, often feels itchy without there being any visible rash. Has very bad eyesight, thin, brittle, slow growing hair and can’t gain weight. She is 40th percentile in height and 2 percentile in weight. I’ve been on a wait list to see a geneticist for possible ehlers-Danlos syndrome. It seems very likely that she has ehlers-Danlos and possibly some accompanying issues. We eat organic and gluten free, grass fed beef, Ive tried giving her liver capsules, omega 3’s, cod liver oil, digestive enzymes, and even c60 to try and help get her as much nutrients as possible but she goes through periods of time where her stomach hurts so much she can’t take them. I desperately need help to figure out what I am missing to relieve her pain and help her be able to improve her digestion and absorption of food so she can heal. Do you have recommendations for how to manage the symptoms of ehlers Danlos to improve her quality of life? Thank you for all the work you’ve done to help people in need. Looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Eilise    Anna: Hello Dr. Cabral, I´ve just read your book and I thought it was very interesting and eyeopening. My son is 20 years old, we live in Holland, and he was born pre-mature and dismature. He´s had an eatingproblem the first 3 years and a lot of ear infections. He now wears hearing aids. I also recognised myself in your comments that you felt you never got answers at the several hospitals. My son, first discovered when he was four years old, has also numerous calcifications in his muscles. He is fairly healthy, can do sports, but it does trouble him and the calfifications in his feet are often inflamed if he does too much. Up to now, they only take blood tests, urine tests and occasional photo's. They haven´t seen a simmilar case in Holland and I find it difficult they can tell me so little. Can these calsifications be auto-immune related? Do you have any idea what could cause them? Thank you for now for all I´ve learned up to this point.   Carl: I have a sluggish (low) metabolism. Every morning I wake up feeling shaky. My morning blood sugar can be anywhere between 85-115. My morning blood pressure is 150's/100's. As the day goes on, it gets better. Every time I try to go on a diet and cut out the crap (mostly carbs) I feel shaky all day and the blood pressure stays elevated all day. even though blood sugar is fine. I realize this is most likely a Cortisol issue. I do have Candida issues/through lab testing. How can I get enough good carbs to lose weight, yet keep my metabolism up, BP low and keep Cortisol normal? Thanks, Carl   Tiffany: Hello Dr. Cabral. I am a daily listener to your podcast as I try to incorporate what I can into better healthy lifestyle for me and my family. We really appreciate it. My son is 16 and we started noticing that one of his hands shakes. I was distracted by it the other day as he was talking to me so it is noticeable. He is a healthy strong guy (6ft tall). Does pole vaulting and lifts and cardio. Not anxious or really stressed. Eats fairly good. He does not eat a lot of sugar or sweets. Can you give me some ideas to look at to help him with this? I’m not sure where to start for him. It has been going on for several months but seems to be getting more noticeable. Thanks so much   Joesph: I’ll try to make the long story as short as possible: my wife has well controlled diabetes, however in the past five years she has developed complete numbness in her feet, calves, and it has now spread to her hands. Additionally, she has nearly constant muscle fasciculations, with occasional painful cramping. We know it’s demyelination but no one knows why it’s occurring. She has had every test available and everything shows she is the picture of health (aside from diabetes). She has had tests for tropical disease, other exotic diseases, genetic testing, you name it she had the test. She’s even been to the Cleveland Clinic multiple times. Recently she had a spinal tap which also showed nothing wrong; however, it did show 3 oligoclonal bands found in both the cerebral spinal fluid and the serum. Analysis of this was basically “something autoimmune”. On a side note, her spleen occassionaly swells so much you can see it pushing against her skin. We are at our wits end, and she has said that she’s not doing anything else, she’s been through enough. Can you help us try to find the right path to heal her?   Jade: Hi. Dr Cabral. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. Truly a blessing! I am 57 years old. I have fibromyalgia, IBS, silent reflux and Gilbert’s syndrome. I suffer daily with chronic fatigue, severe stomache issues (everything I eat hurts my stomache…gas, bloating, cramping, and loose stools) anxiety, whole body pain and trouble sleeping. Oh, and my cholesterol is high. I’ve also had EBV in the past. I’m always in fight or flight mode. I worked full time for 30 years in a very stressful workplace and I’ve always felt drained. I have gone though a lot of emotional trauma in the last few months. Which has made everything worse. I do eat very clean and healthy. No processed junk at all. Everything’s organic. I pray and meditate daily. I walk when I’m not in a flare up and I do yoga. CBD oil seems to help but I’m not sure if that will cause more problems with the Gilbert’s so I’ve stopped it until I know if it’s ok to continue with it. What do you suggest for me? I can’t afford your 1 on 1 consultations but I will do whatever else you recommend. Thank you to you and your team for all that you do!!!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2486 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2480: Gilbert’s Syndrome, Vertical Heterophoria, Adrenal Hyperplasia, Types of Belly Bloating, Cows Milk vs. Oat Milk (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jade: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all that you do for all of us. You’re a true blessing! I have Gilbert’s Syndrome and fibromyalgia. I have horrible stomache issues and all over body pain. I use CBD oil for sleeping and for the body pain. Am I putting more strain on my liver with the CBD oil? Am I causing more damage? I also drink fermented drinks and eat fermented foods. Is this good for Gilbert’s? My bilirubin has been 1.8 for the last 2 years.I’ve gone though a lot of stress and emotional grief. I’m thinking this caused my bilirubin to be higher then before which was around 1.3. Thank you for your time. Blessings!   Tiffany: Hello Dr. Cabral I was diagnosed with vertical heterophoria a couple of years ago. Even with corrective lenses it still affects me when I drive on the freeway and the dizziness makes me feel very anxious. It has only gotten worse over the years. What can I do if anything to find the root cause of this or at least relieve my symptoms. It has gotten so bad that sometimes I have to just pull over for a few minutes because of the anxiety. Thanks so much for all the great information. I listen daily!   Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been listening to your podcasts for 2 years. Thank you for you for sharing your vast amount of knowledge with your community. My question is regarding my 7 year old son. After a long journey we have finally been diagnosed with Non Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia which has put his body into early puberty. For this he has been put on Hydrocortisone. After 3 months of taking hydrocortisone his hormone levels are finally dropping. This was great news except for the fact after my request to check his A1C verified he is prediabetic. Now I am at a loss. Do you have any tips for me or know of any good resources? My goal will be to focus on his nutrition as much as possible, as that is something we can control. I often think of you and your journey back to health. I know how intimidating this feels to me I can only imagine how you felt. Thank you for your time and knowledge.   Jamie: Hi Dr Cabral, I was wondering if there is a difference between stomach bloat and lower belly bloat (under belly button) bloat. I sometimes find that while my upper stomach seems not bloated, I have severe bloat in my lower belly, even first thing in the morning. This bloat doesn’t budge with ginger and other natural remedies (or even may still be there after defacation) What are the differences and what may cause lower belly bloat vs upper belly bloat?   Holly: Hi Dr. C, hope you're well? I have one daily vice - coffee! Yes it's organic and the second is a swiss water processed decaf :) HOWEVER I'm a latte drinker and do not enjoy the taste of any of the nut milks in coffee. My go to has been Oat milk however it contains veg oils that i know are not good. My question is, would i be better off with cows milk vs. oat milk with oils? Which is the lesser of two evils?

2479: Biofilm Explained, Palate Expanders, Dairy Allergy, Iodine & Hashimoto’s, Serrapeptase, Hirsutism (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Tara: Hello, My name is Tara and I’ve had stomach issues my whole life. Everyone said it was just a stress stomach. Within the last 6 weeks I was introduce to a natural path doctor who has brought this stomach issue of mine to a head. She believes I have Biofilm. I have tried researching this and cannot find many people speaking about it. My doctor and I have started a plan on how to tackle it but curious if Dr Cabral has dived into this as well? I have been eating great and taking top of the line suppliments and test I am still deficient in all B’s, D, C , folate, etc. I resonate with so many of these podcasts and yet I have not heard anything on this issue of biofilm. I am just curious if Dr Cabral has any insight on this topic. Thank you   Meagan: Hello Dr. CABRAL! I think I may have heard you mention palate expanders on one of your episodes discussing mouth breathing. Can you expand on that a bit? I'm debating getting one for my 7 year old daughter but want to weigh the pros and cons. Thank you!!   Bailey: I have a 12 month old who has a dairy allergy. I completely avoided dairy & gluten when I was breastfeeding her due to colic and digestive issues. I started her on raw goats milk after nursing, she wasn't a fan.. so she drinks raw cows milk. I plan to switch to nut milk / only water once she is getting more calories and fat from food. One day we ran out of milk, so I gave her some store bought whole milk (temporarily), she developed digestive pain, and hives shortly after. The hives have lasted almost a week now, I know dairy takes a long time to leave the system. I feel like I did everything right with her. She was born vaginally, is unvaccinated, she has never been on antibiotics, she took a probiotic with her breastmilk the whole year she breastfed, dairy wasn't introduced to her till 12 months, we live in the country without a ton of environmental toxins, yet she has this allergy. I myself have always been sensitive to dairy, so my guess is genetics. My question is, what is the bottom line.. what is the ROOT cause of so many childhood food allergies? & Why do we "out-grow" them? This is becoming such a norm.   Jessica: Hi Doctor Cabral! Thank you for being a source of well-studied information on all things health and wellness. I have been looking into the iodine controversy and whether or not iodine is beneficial or harmful for thyroid patients, specifically Hashimoto's. There is research on how going on a low-iodine food diet along with no supplemental iodine in any form with support the thyroid in healing from Hashimoto's. I have heard strong views from both sides, and I am hoping to get your view on the topic and how you would approach this subject in the helping of a family member.   Kasia: Hi Dr. Cabral, Hope this email finds you well. I watched your video about Serrapeptase enzyme. Thank you so much for the detailed informative and useful information. I have silicone breast implants. I have purchased the Serrapeptase product for my chronic nose sinus, but I am concerned it might deteriorate the capsule that naturally form around the a breast implants. I’ve read on line it eats non-living living tissues; including scar tissue and maybe capsule. Others note, it should be fine to use for someone with breast implants. Do you know if taking the enzyme Serrapeptase, can be taken by someone with breast implants? Do you know of women with breast implants, who have been taking it? What’s their feedback? For the past 3-4 weeks, I have been taking a daily therapautic dose of about 120,000SPU. I have noticed my breast fat has slightly reduced. I don't know if it's because of the Serrapeptase, or the intermittend fasting I have started at the same time. I appreciate your input, and advise.   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I was wondering what can be the cause (and possible solution) for hirsutism, particularly if blood sugar levels are well managed, my periods are regular and I am not overweight. In the past I used the birth control pill for 7 years. I got off, had my two kids, had a chin hair here and there, but now, 2.5 years later after having my second child, I have a full-blown highly undesired situation happening on my chin and around a little the nipples. It’s been at least a year and it’s only getting worse. I’ve used a CGM for several months for the sake of research and investigation, and my blood sugar levels appear very well managed. I don’t drink alcohol or coffee, nor do I smoke. I have no known health conditions. But I’m stressed and don’t sleep super well. When I tested a cycle mapping of my hormones (Dutch test), my testosterone, estrogen and progesterone levels were fine BUT my adrenal glands might just hate me. Both free cortisol and cortisone were VERY low (possible due to a prolonged period of stress) while Etiocholanolone & Androsterone were both super high. I have no cysts on my ovaries and my periods are quite regular so I don’t feel like it would be PCOS either. Please please please… help a sister out! Thank you for all that you do.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2479 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2477: How Heavy Metals Affect Your Digestion, Gut & Auto-Immune Issues (TT)

Heavy metal toxicity can be the root cause for a variety of gut-based and auto-immune issues…   Unfortunately, our drinking water can be a primary source for contamination, but heavy metals such as aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury can be accumulated from a wide variety of common foods, products, and environmental factors…   Once exposed, heavy metals can wreak havoc on our gut health and create inflammation that leads to a whole host of issues, which only later get diagnosed as a dis-ease…   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2477 I want to share with you how heavy metals affect your digestion, gut & auto-immune issues and how you can reduce your exposure to them - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2477 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2474: How to Care Less About What Other People Think (MM)

2473: Bone Marrow Donations, Seed Cycling, Monkey Pox, Hashimoto’s & Iodine, Sipping Drinks & Digestion, Yoga Poses & Pounding Heart (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Janice: Dear Dr Cabral I’m very proud and honoured to be a part of the IHP2M community. What you have contributed to the world is amazing and I aspire to help many like you do. I would like to ask about your input about Bone Marrow Donations. Searches did not seem to come up. I understand there are 2 methods of donation, the traditional method is collection from pelvic bone under GA and takes about 40min. The other option is Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) where the donor will be given Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) injections over 5 days leading up to the donations to increase stem cells in the body. Blood is collecting from one arm and passed through a machine that extracts the blood stem cells and returns all remaining blood through the other arm. This takes 5-7hours. May I have your thoughts on this. Is there any major impact to the donors health? I would really like to know what is your take on this from a health perspective! Thank you!   Chelsea: Hello Dr. Cabral! When seed cycling, can I to eat tahini + sunflower seeds during the pumpkin/flax phase? Or will this offset the benefits due opposing hormonal effects of the seeds? I eat a lot of tahini in sauces and as a source of fat and find it hard to plan meals without it   Maria: Hello Dr. Thank you so much for all that you do. You are so awesome and I am enjoying listening to all your podcast. I had a question about the monkey pox. What can someone do to give themselves the best immune system for if and when you were to get the monkey pox   Samantha: I love your DNS powder! However I just realized that it contains iodine and I have hashimotos. Would you consider making a version without iodine for all of your customers that also have thyroid complications?? Thank you   Amy: Hi Dr Cabral. Love the podcast and appreciate your wealth of knowledge. My question is one I've wondered about for many years. I tend to sip on drinks for a couple of hours. By drinks, it could be a protein shake, coffee with a bit of heavy cream, coffee with protein added, etc. More than just a glass of water. Am I doing a disservice to my digestion by doing this? Would it be better to consume beverages like this within 30 or so minutes? Thanks for the help :   Hayley: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I’ve recently tried starting yoga but I really struggle with any downward poses. I feel like so much pressure builds up in my head and neck, and my heart beat seems to pound in my head. Is this normal, and any suggestions for improving?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2473 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2472: Ox Bile, Children’s V Shot, Endometriosis Pain, Skin Petechiae, Best Nutrition to Maintain Muscle, Hormonal Imbalances (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Maria: Hello and thank you for all you do. I'm really enjoying listening to all your podcasts and have gotten really good at searching for things. I wanted to know if you can recommend a brand of ox bile. I looked and looked and can't find a brand that you would recommend. And I'm sorry if it's there but I can't find it. Can you give me a recommendation.   Maria: Hi Dr. Cabral, I first want to say that I love your podcast and its been a huge inspiration for me to move from conventional medicine to integrative medicine which is my true calling. I would love to here more about your ideas on V shot for children and what parents should be considering as far as benefits and risks. Again, such a fantastic resource for everyone, Thanks!   Lauren: Hello! I'm wondering what your thoughts are around endometriosis. I had laparoscopic surgery about a year ago and although my periods are not excruciating anymore, they are still painful (meaning I am still relying on pain killers and needing time off work), despite the endometriosis being removed. My gynaecologist's solution is to go on the birth control pill or IUD but that doesn't sit right with me. Why would I still be in pain if the cause of the pain has been removed? Every practitioner has a different view on the reason but despite doing it all (acupuncture, chiro, naturopath, mayan massage, chinese medicine, pelvic physiotherapist...etc), I am yet to find anything that truly helps my symptoms. I am feeling very hopeless and find it hard to trust even holistic practitioners as they have mostly just recommended supplements with a 'see what sticks' mentality - leaving me frustrated and out of pocket hundreds of $$! I suppose I'd like to know what the root cause of endo is and how can start my journey of truly healing myself? Thank you in advance!    Brittany: Hi Dr. Cabral! Can you talk a little about skin petechiae? I have a few small red dots (not close together) on my stomach that my doctor has more or less said not to worry about. They’ve been there for a few years (I noticed them after birthing my second child but that doesn’t mean they weren’t present beforehand) and haven’t changed. I’m not really concerned but I do feel like it’s a reflection of something internally. Any thoughts?   Stormy: I have always worked out five days a week and I walk 20,000 steps on the weekends. I am 48 years old and I have done the 16/8 for three weeks. Started losing when I increased my protein and decreased my carbs (during 3rd week). I lost three pounds. I do not want to lose more then 10 pounds. I weigh 143 and I am 5'2. I have always been blessed with muscles. My calorie intake is 1600-2000 a day. I had bloating issues and they are gone. I want to remain healthy, what do you suggest would be the best eating plan? I also do not want to mess with my hormones or muscle mass.   Danika: Hi Doc, been learning from you for a few years now. I’m 29 years old (prob 30 by the time you read this). When I was 9 years old I first put on a little weight to have what you call “cortisol belly,” skinny arms and legs, just that hormonal pudge. Chronic pain in my low back & left hip set in at age 11. Depression, fatigue, anxiety all through school years. Was active playing water sports (I’m sure 10 years of daily chlorine did not help my thyroid) but was always tired. My menstrual periods have always been INTENSE with such bad cramping that I’m out of service from 3-6 days a month, sometimes 10! I’ve been on my healing journey for about 4 years now. I have improved. I’m currently detoxing aluminum that I saw on your HTMA lab I took, I had the 4 high pattern. I also took a salivary hormone lab and my cortisol throughout the day was extremely low, and my Estrogen 3 (estriol) was high. I’m also having a lot of anxiety. I’ve hit a point where my own body is confusing me! I’m fatigued and feel exhausted w/ my body barely producing any cortisol, yet still having panic attacks that sometimes feel like heart attacks. My body is tired, my periods wreck me, I seem to catch every sinus infection going around, & this extra layer of body fat is so hard to get rid of. Help!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2472 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2468: Tell-Tale Signs of a Weak Immune System (TWT)

Building a strong immune system has been the hot topic of conversation for the last few years…   Both conventional medicine and naturopathic medicine agree that there are numerous signs and symptoms that your immune system is struggling.   The difference is that conventional medicine doesn’t believe that these symptoms each have their own underlying root cause and by looking at the imbalances in the body we can begin to address these concerns (and actually heal the body).   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2468 I want to go over the tell-tale signs of a weak immune system, so you can understand what these symptoms mean and get to the root cause – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2468 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2466: Children’s Height, High HDL Cholesterol, Heavy Metals & Shrapnel, Menstrual Cycle & Vomiting, RBE Book in UK, Mediterranean Diet Portions (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Liz: Good morning, I have a son who is one of the shortest in his class. He is 8 years old and has always been small for his age as well as a bit slow to hit a growth spurt. He takes a daily gummy vitamin and is active in jiu jitsu. He appears healthy and to be a good weight for his size but I'd like to know if there are any supplements that will help him maximize height growth. I'm sure some is due to genetics but Id like to focus on any nutritional needs I can if there is anything that comes to mind. Genetically, his paternal grandpa was under 5 feet tall. I was small like him as a child then grew in junior high to be tall for a woman and I have a tall dad. In addition, this son had 5 rounds of antibiotics in one year due to multiple ear infections which may also affect growth. However, even before the ear infections he was progressing slowly in height but not weight. Thank you for your time and I'm off to leave a 5 star review!   Katie: I just got my recently blood work back and my HDL was 109. My LDL, triglycerides we’re all In range. I thought I heard you once say that high HDL is not good either. My LDL was 98 and triglycerides was 118. With the high HDL my “total cholesterol came in with a high value of 227. Should I try and lower my HDL?   Sarah: Hello! I'm reaching out for a veteran. I'm curious about heavy metal detox in someone who has shrapnel still inside their body. Is it a bad idea to do a heavy metal detox while shrapnel is still present? Is it better to just support liver detox pathways? What is the best way to go about dealing with ongoing immune responses from these metals like redness, irritation, food sensitivity, brain fog, etc? Will these metals eventually cause infertility? This will be a lifelong issue so I'm trying to figure out the best way to mitigate or lessen any more damage.   Lisa: Hi Dr Cabral My 15 yr old daughter vomits at the beginning of her period, our doctor says this is normal but it doesn’t feel very normal to me. I’m not sure if any of this is relevant but she has allergies to dust & grass, has eczema, HAD asthma as a small child & is always tired, she is having her tonsils & adenoids out next week after 14 years of having issues with them & has never been able to breath out of her right nostril. TIA Lisa   Kerryann: Hi - Firstly i want to say i love, love, love your podcasts they are totally changing my life. I've just started to change my normal fasting routing (16/8) or (OMAD) to your 12/14 hour one and i'm loving it so much more. I'm in the UK - is it at all possible to get a copy of your book? the website does not give me an option to put my UK address in? I would also love to know more about becoming a IHP   Jeremar: I've recently discovered your podcast and been listening to it on regular now. My question is I'm interested in the Mediterranean diet but I'm unsure of foods and portion size and if there's a percentage of intake for each food group. I also work night shift which throws me off on eating times. Could you do a show these topics. Thanks for your help and for your shows.

2465: Embedded Infections, Surgery Complications & Gut Health, Acid Reflux While Sleeping, Linear Morphea, Glucose Revolution, Melatonin “Extra” Ingredients (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Jennifer: Hi Dr Cabral, love your work! Two questions for you. I have been experience chronic pain and other symptoms in my vaginal/bladder area. I have taken lots of rounds of antibiotics with no relief. First question, from research there are a couple doctors treating what they call embedded infections, where the bacteria is not detectable on a culture because it has embedded itself in the bladder wall-they treat this with years of antibiotics. What are your thoughts on that? Second question, I do always culture strep b in my bladder-despite taking several rounds that “should” have treated it. I’m sure it’s colonized in my bladder and not just a contaminated catch-because it always cultures it and by this point I’ve perfected the clean mid stream catch. I have ordered the stool sample test and waiting on that now. What I’m wondering is will be CBO protocol address the strep b in my bladder and vaginal area, and will it help with yeast or bacteria overgrowth in my vagina. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!   Eric: Hello Dr Cabral, I have a question regarding my mother in law. She had the sleeve weight loss procedure, now years later from complications she is having her entire stomach cut out leaving her with around 5%. Her gut health is HORRIFIC, my question is can she do a CBO or parasite protocol with 5% of a stomach? She will have an extremely restricted diet in quantity, obviously, but also in what she can eat. Thanks so much for all you do!   Morgan: Hey Dr Cabral, I am having a Re occurring issue when sleeping where I fall asleep and wake up 1-2 hours later automatically with intense acid reflux and can’t get through the feeling and back to sleep. What do you recommend on getting through this or eliminating certain foods or adding certain ones. Thank you! Morgan   Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for your incredible work, I felt so alone on my health journey before I found your story. I was wondering if you've ever worked with someone with linear morphoea - I have morphoea en coup de sabre diagnosed by a dermatologist when I was around 14. He gave me topical steroids and it lightened up the area and seemed to make it more narrow, and it's been years since I've used the cream. I was wondering if you've ever seen it completely reversed? I've been working to heal my gut the last 2 years, I've done the CBO and Parasite Protocols, I was just wondering if there's anything else I should be looking into? I was a C section baby and was prescribed antibiotics for many years for sinus infections every winter (fellow east coaster). I also took ibuprofen every day of second grade for headaches. I believe my triggering events in 2016 were an infection and the terminal diagnosis of my mother with liver cirrhosis. It was a painful and very stressful 5 more years before she passed away. I have been working very hard to heal and appreciate any advice you have!   Jenna: Have you read the book called Glucose Revolution yet? It's pretty new and the author Jesse Inchauspe has been interviewed on dozens of health podcasts. I'm reading the book now and find it fascinating and was wondering if you would consider doing a book review on it.   Anonymous: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I was checking the ingredients of your liquid melatonin and am confused.. If I saw these ingredients in a supplement here in a pharmacy I would choose not to take it.. It contains xantham gum which you said is not good? I’m not sure about potassium sorbate..? I usually stay away from products with citric acid..? And is this a natural organic stevia extract?

2459: Athlete's Foot, Spastic Colitis, Chronic Stomach Issues, Telogen Phase Hair Loss, EBV (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Ben: Hi Doc! I get "athlete's foot" on my left pinky toe from time to time. It's always in the same place on the same foot only. Only recently did I start to think that it may actually be some form of candida. Can you get candida on your toes? What is the fastest way to make it go away? Thanks for all you do. I'm inspired by your work ethic. Ben   Anonymous: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I have a friend with “chronic” spastic colitis and I’ve been trying to look it up and learn about it (even asked Michelle to help me find podcasts about it but with no luck) but haven’t found anything about it on the podcast.. How does it differ from ulcerative colitis? Is it similar to Chron’s? I know these are just names for a bunch of symptoms, but I would really like to learn about it from a source I trust (YOU!) and have all the information if my friend ever gets on board not to trust doctors who have been telling him his whole life that it’s chronic and putting him on drugs like Buscopan, etc., and he decides to listen and do something about it.. So, please, could you do a show about it or talk about it when you answer this? What are the causes and what to do about it? Possibly without having to test (because I’m sure he won’t want to).. Thank you so much, you’re the best!   Drake: Hi dr Cabral. I’ve had ongoing stomach problems for years that have come back and gone away. I’ve done the cbo protocol twice, as well as tried every diet you can think of. Things tend to get better for a while, and then come back. Currently what I am experiencing is a lot of gas, discomfort, and loose stools, and it seems to happen no matter what I eat. The worst and most difficult thing is actually my sleep. When my stomach problems and gas come back, it really disrupts my sleep, leading me to wake up 3-6 times per night to pee. I wake up with a really strong need to pee, but then pee very little. I am a 25 year old male, and have had this nocturnia type issue intermittently since 16. It seems to be related to my stomach issues, do you think that could be the case, and if I had 1000$ to spend on labs, which ones should I run?   Kathy: I have been dealing with Telogen phase hair loss for over 2 yrs. Can you suggest anything? I have tried multiple topical treatments, supplements, diet, relaxation techniques etc.i very much believe it is stress related as well as diet. My scalp itches, using nizoral shampoos etc to no avail! I did listen to your podcast and working on getting 60 grams of protein/day Thank you in advance! Kathy   Luke: Hi Dr Cabral, You are truly amazing. Your guidance and knowledge in this world is so undervalued, so thank you for being you. I have been through quite a lot, from going to the gym 6 days a week, eating relatively balanced, happy and healthy individual to one day January 2nd 2021, massive panic attack I thought i was going to die. Went to the ER they said panic attack. 2 weeks later, Fibromyalgia symptoms, then Chronic Fatigue, then burning sensations all over my body, then balance issues, then brain fog got so bad I didn't even recognize who I was. I ended up with 30 plus chronic symptoms. This all lasted for months, bedridden at times. I found functional medicine, had high copper, blastocystis hominis parasite, overgrowth of streptococcus, and a high HVA / VMA Ratio in my OAT test. I have healed 20 of the 30 symptoms I was experiencing but some still remain. I am a strong believer that EBV was the main cause for all of this but the only tests in Australia that the doctors can do just says whether or not it's active. No markers etc. What are your thoughts on this? My reamaining symptoms are (new symptom) very warm sensation, feels like someone poured warm milk down the left side of my leg, calf mainly but also my arm and sometimes my head.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2459 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2458: Overall Health, Elimination Diet, COMT & MTHFR, High Estrogen, Reoccurring UTIs (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Barbara: What is the best product to purchase to start getting healthy overall?   Nan: Hi Dr.Cabral, Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions! I have been using elimination diets to figure out what was causing my digestive and hormonal issues. I realized that i am very sensitive to lectins and salicylates. I do not want to stay on an elimination diet for too long to the detriment of my nutrition but have been unable to find good multivitamin and minerals and the Equilife ones do not ship to my country. I am therefore trying to diversify my diet however i can. I can now eat lectins foods that have been soaked and pressure cooked. I can also have a few histamine foods when i intermittent fast. However, i have been unable to reintroduce salicylates. I have been doing epsom salt baths and once in a while i can have a medium salicylate food but only like once a week. I have tested and I do not have any underlying digestive issues like SIBO or bacterial imbalance. What can i do to be able to reintroduce salicylates? Your episode on salicylates was incredibly insightful but i am unsure what to do after the low salicylate diet. How long do i have to stay on it? Ps: my mother has always had salicylate issues so maybe there is a genetic component behind my issue processing/detoxing salicylates? Looking forward to your input! Thank you so much!   Danny: Hi Dr. Carbral! I'm a 4th yr medical student and aspiring functional medicine doctor, I have learned so much from your podcast and love tuning in everyday! In short: I have 4 homozygous polymorphisms of COMT, for which (if I'm not mistaken) I should supplement hydroxy B12 and avoid methyl B12 & methyl folate. I also have a heterozygous polymorphism of MTHFR (C677T) for which I should take methyl B12 & methyl folate. It seems like what is therapeutic for one problem is toxic for the other and vice versa. Hence my question, what should I do? Will supplementing with both hydroxy and methyl B12 'counteract' each other like 2 horses running in opposite directions? I also recently did your organic acids test and had a follow up call with Caitlin, which was really helpful! On my OAT, my quinolinic/serotonin ratio was high (9.0), and we concluded that this was due to low serotonin (.08) as my quinolinic level was .72. I know MTHFR is involved in the synthesis of serotonin (via tryptophan), could the lower serotonin level be due to this MTHFR mutation? I know this is pretty detailed stuff but I'm hope there are other ppl out there with both COMT and MTHFR polymorphisms who have had similar questions. Really appreciate you taking time to do these house calls and for the awesome podcast! Best, Danny   Lorena: Working with a male client that is a Pitta and is 32. Saliva test showed normal DHEA, progesterone & testosterone as well as adrenal phase 3. However, his estrogen was significantly high. It’s not from adipose tissue because he’s quite fit. Pretty much plant-based (all organic) with the occasional grass-fed beef, no exposure to xenoestrogens as all cleaning products as well as personal products are 100% natural. Eats a lot of cruciferous veg everyday (this should have helped with estrogen detoxification). He does eat organic tofu twice a week so I wonder whether it would be that? I read somewhere that dietary intake wouldn’t raise estrogen levels so much… I’m just so confused right now. He is prone to hair loss so not sure whether there's a conversion issue from testosterone to estrogen.   Vic: Hi Dr Cabral, First of all, love your work. I have had reoccurring UTIs for about 1.5 years. I have completed the CBO protocol, finisher and 2 x 7 day detoxes starting about a year ago which has helped with a lot of issues that I had found relief from no where else, so a big thank you for that. However I still have had to do your UTI protocol nearly constantly. I have relief when on the protocol but symptoms a few days after stopping. I was wondering if there were any long term detrimental effects of doing this protocol constantly or having this issue for so long? I have tried all the basic lifestyle tips and listened to your previous UTI podcasts but can’t seem to find a story quite like mine. I don’t take antibiotics anymore and have had countless confirmed culture tests that show an infection. Unfortunately I’m on a tight budget at the moment so most testing and treatment I cannot afford at this time, so any general advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2458 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2452: V Reactions, Thick Mucus, Binders, MRSA, Wim Hoff Method, Grape Seed vs Grapefruit Seed Extract (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Courtney: Hi there! One of my closest friends had a pretty immediate strong reaction to the Johnson and Johnson (shall not be named) virus v. He sweats profusely as if he’d dumped a bucket of water over his head. Since the v, vitiligo has kicked in (which he had no history of) and he continues to lose pigmentation on his face and arms. Any known connection? Advice for how to intervene? Thanks so much, from a long time patient of your practice!   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for all your help! I listen to you every day and have learned so much! I had a septoplasty done a few years back and about 4 months after I started getting a glue like mucus in my nose and down my throat. It is so thick that’s sometimes I can’t get it out of my throat unless I gargle water and forcefully hack it up. It is there pretty much 24/7 but sometimes worse in the AM. It will wake me up. It almost feels like I’m drowning. I have done your 21day detox, CBO and CBO finisher. I’m waiting on my food sensitivity test results now. I’ve tried 2-3 drops of GSE in my sinus rinse but it burned REALLY bad. It that normal for GSE? The ENT doc keeps telling me that everything looks fine and I have acid reflux but I feel it in my nose too.   Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all that you do. I have a question about the Binder Enterosgel. Read that it helps bind histamines as well as aluminum etc. Have you heard of this product? And what are your thoughts . I know you have done podcasts on Binders before and I have used the Quicksilver product with charcoal/zeolite . I’m just not sure that’s the right binder for me because I deal with histamine intolerance? Is There a better binder for someone with histamine issues? Thanks!   Mary: My husband was diagnosed with MRSA. He went to an infectious disease doctor after a dermatologist suggested he be on an antibiotic for the rest of his life. The infectious disease doctor gave him Bactriban for flares but also said I probably already have it because he has it. Asked if there was anything we could do to permanently get rid of it and he said no. Wondering if there is a lab I could run or supplements I could take?   Kevin: Will you do a podcast with your thoughts on the Wim Hoff Method? Specifically his 30 deep breath exercises and cold water therapy? I love your show and trust your research and insight!

2451: Red Face, Reducing Estrogen, Increasing HRV, Painful Periods, POTS (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Tommy: Hi Dr C you incredible human being. I’m a level 2 IHP. For years Iv been battling self diagnosed lupus, my face goes embarrassingly red. Iv been working on this and have it more under control than ever. But since the summer has come, Iv really noticed how bad heat affects it. I thought it was just food such as histamines and sensitivity. I know heat can trigger histamines. Iv run the OAT and I’m high on 3 yeast markers including oxalates. By time this gets read out I should be some way through the CBO protocol, however I have done this before, but I didn’t stick to the meal plan. Iv also purchased DAO and Iv tried many supplements including quercitin. I know there still so much more info you would need but do you have anything you can suggest.   Ann: Due to my increased risk of breast cancer Im on a medicine to eliminate estrogen in my body ( I have also had my ovaries removed). The 5 year limit to take the medicine is nearing, so Im wondering what I can do, from your perspective, to reduce estrogen in my body? I know that maintaining a healthy body weight is important but do you have any other thoughts? Thank you so much!   Marina: Hi Dr Cabral, My baseline HRV has dropped from 50-60 to 30-35 ever since i got the covid v :( September last year. I have had severe insomnia for sometime after the v, however this has resolved after couple of months, HRV has never recovered. I have taken rest days, zone 2 training, cold showers, medtation, nothing works. Lab results look good. I am 37, workout 4-5 times a week. No alcohol, don't smoke. Eat clean/organic. What can I do to bring it back up to where it used to be? Appreciate your help.   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast. Thank you for everything that you do. I want to ask if there's a way to remove painful periods? I was born with two uteruses and I have extremely painful periods on the first day and sometimes the second. I'm in pain as if I was being stabbed in my uterus 1000 times. Ever since I got my period when I was 13 years old, I've been taking at least one advil a month to relieve myself of the period pain. And when I turned 23 I started to develop itchy scalp, vaginal itch, and itchy ears. Listening to your podcast helped me discover the OATS and CBO protocol. I've taken CBO twice and the itch has reduced but not completely gone. Vaginal itch is still there a bit as well as the ears and scalp. My OATS came back better after two CBOs but I feel that I'm still not getting better because I still take an advil once a month due to my painful period. I know that my stomach got weaker because i take advil once a month. And i want to figure out how I can get rid of the pain. I recently bought Inflamma Soothe in the hopes to getting a fast acting relief during my painful period. Another thing I want to mention is that I was also born with 1 kidney and I want to ask if its safe to take a lot of supplements? I feel quite lost right now. Thank you in advance.   Stacey: Hello , I’m loving the book and podcasts so much ! I have POTS / dysautonomia and inappropriate sinus tachycardia, SVT , Raynauds, hashimotos and Extreme sensory stimulation sensitivities .. like it has ruined my life ! I’m looking for a place to start but don’t have all the funds to order the big 5 . Also I’m interested if Dr. Cabral has seen LDN helping any of these issues as a friend has had great success with it . I’m very sensitive to medication and even herbal medicine.. so it scares me to try to much .. I am on Xanax for the POTS and hydroxychoriquin for my autoimmune issues . I’m truly scared I will die early and if I do live long it will be a long slow death with zero quality of life . I have been to holistic Drs and after spending thousands of dollars nothing helped . I’m so scared and need serious direction . I heard Dr. Cabral May start taking on clients again ? How do we get on that list ? Thank you so much Warmly , Stacey      Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2451 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2445: Loose Anagen Syndrome, Yellow Teeth, Burning Mouth Syndrome, Inositol & Testosterone, Immune Protocol for Kids, Accutane & ED (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Callie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am looking for answers for my 3 year old daughter who was diagnosed with Loose Anagen Syndrome. Ever since she was a baby, she loses massive amounts of hair every February. I am not sure what it is about the month of February (we live in Wisconsin so it’s winter during that time) but that is the exact time it occurs every year. The past couple of years her hair has grown back well after she loses so much every February, but this year it is not growing back as well. The hair that she does have is extremely thin and fine, gets tangled easily, and falls out easily. Any ideas of possible root causes for this condition? What can I do to help her with this? Thanks!   Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral. I have two kids - both of them eat very well both have different levels of yellowish teeth. My daughters is very mildly yellow but my sons is more yellow brown. They eat very well - have grown up vegetarian/vegan- But my son was also diagnosed with Crohn’s last year. Maybe that has something to do with things? Not sure. we’ve always gone to a holistic dentist he thinks that 30s are very healthy but I don’t believe they should be this discolored. If you have any ideas would love to know. Thank you so much again for your time   Michelle: I recently came upon your podcast and have to say how much I enjoy learning from you. I am hoping you may be able to help. My mother has had burning mouth syndrome for over 9 years. She has been to almost every type of dr/dentist/specialist under the sun and no one has been able to figure out the cause or come up with any protocol to give her any relief. She also was diagnosed with Parkinson's later the same year as the burning mouth. Do you have any insight into this disease and how it can be better managed? It's been 9 years of continuous pain and the lack of enjoyment of anything she eats and drinks is taking a toll. Thank you.   Kelsey: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’m wondering if you could shed some light on why taking an inositol supplement was so successful in lowering my testosterone. After starting an inositol supplement daily and it being the only notable change in my lifestyle, my testosterone went from way higher than normal for a woman my age (27yrs) (5.3) to within normal range (3.6). These levels were taken on the same day of my cycle so it seems that it really is a true reflection of the success of inositol. I know inositol is meant to help with blood sugar regulation, but was not expecting it to be so helpful in lowering my testosterone levels. Thanks!   Heather: Hello Dr. Cabral!! At the time I am writing this I hope you are enjoying summer with your family! A couple of your older podcasts on children’s immune health have been circulating (858,956) and questions have been asked of the Facebook group about where to find the supplements you had recommended in the shows now that the FDA no longer allows you to link them. My question is, are you still doing the same immune protocols for your girls as you did years ago? How can we find out what the products are that you use for your kids? All of us parents out there who love and trust your advice would be so grateful to get the info! Blessings to you for the light you are in this world!   Anonymous: Hello, 'm asking this question for a 24 year old fairly healthy, muscular young man. He took Accutane (isotretoin) for acne , about 5 months now and now is experiencing some impotence (erectile dysfunction)-- this started about 3 months ago. I've read some case reports about this medicine possibly cause this side effects and people are saying that it is a LONG term side effect ( and irreversible). Is this true? Or is there hope we can rebalance / cleanse the body of the toxins from this medication? THANKS so much for your help and mission. I'm a huge fan of the podcast and have recently tried intermittent fasting and starting to feel the wonderful benefits. :)   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2445 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2444: PCOS & Rebalancing the Body, Vitamin D Deficiency, Digestive Enzymes & Pregnancy, Zinc & Mouth Sores, Lyme Disease in Children, Carnivore Diet (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Alaa: My lab showes that i have Multiple small follicles in bilateral ovaries arrange randomly my gyne ruled it as PCOS i have amenorrhea since more than one year i only got it twice my period was always regular my whole life i have tested all my hormones and everything was in the normal range the dr informed me only estogen was normal low , although i have amenorrhea, excess hair , oily skin some days i feel fatigued, some days im super good , some days i cannt move a pen and things starts falling sometimes healthy bowel movements sometimes severe constipation the dr didn’t find any thing wrong in any lab tests and ultrasound, insulin is super good and fasting glucose is always between 70~88 , what i can do about that ? Im super active person because of my work and i excercise usually 4-5 times a week weight training and my cardio is 20 min *5 times a week .. i used to do low carb HIIT AND INTERMITTENT FASTING But I stopped them cause I feel my body cant handle it anymore. My main concern is why sometimes im feeling super good and sometimes im feeling like super zero energy where i stay in bed all day long and going to the toilet seems very hard is it related to alot of exhaustion cause im on 1400 kcal diet as a female but some days im super active and fine i cant find anything since i did all the MRI ULTRASOUND LAB TESTS THAT I XOULD DO AND EVERYTHING IS FINE   Maria: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've written in about this issue before and am just looking for any last insights you might have into my vitamin D deficiency. Last time you suggested a vit D lamp, but I didn't end up going that route since summer was just around the corner. My vitamin D has hovered around 30 for the past year. I've had it checked 5 or so times now. I've listened to your Vitamin D podcast many times and I'm doing literally every single thing you suggest. I was taking 10,000 IU Vit D at lunch w/ a meal containing fat, I take extra K2 with it, I also use the DNS powder daily. After 3-4 months of doing that, I was able to get my number up to 39 (highest I've ever had). In early May I backed down to 4000 IU b/c I took a couple vacations to the beach and also it's summer now, and I'm outside getting sun exposure daily for at least 20-30 minutes (more than an hour on the weekends). So I just retested and my Vit D dropped to 22, even with all this sun exposure! What might be preventing my body from absorbing Vit D? And what are your thoughts on continuing 10000 IU long term since it doesn't seem to results in dangerously high vit D blood levels for me   Anonymous: Hello! Big fan of the show, thanks for all you do in the world of wellness and for helping so many people! I am curious what your thoughts are on taking Digestive Enzymes during pregnancy. I know women should minimize their supplement intake as much as possible when pregnant (avoiding herbal therapies, avoiding mega doses of vitamins, etc.), but was curious if these are safe to keep using during pregnancy. Thanks again for all you do!   Marlen: Hello! I have a question regarding zinc. Whenever I take it I develop mouth sores and skin lesions stop healing properly. I think I am deificient in copper since I have early hair greying (I am only 27), lowered white blood cells and a history with recurrent iron deficiency anemia. I would like to take balanced zinc (for balancing copper) but cant tolerate zinc (same thing happens when taking a mutltivitamin). I also have lots of food intolerances and gut imbalances (I am currently doing the CBO protocol) but still struggling since everything seems to be upsetting my system. Any suggestions/insights? Thank you for everything you do!!   Jamie: Hi! My question is about Lyme disease in children. My daughter is 6 years old and we believe she has Lyme disease. She is being tested now. Is there a test you suggest and protocol to help her if she has it? Thank you!!   Darren: Good day. What are your thoughts on Dr XXXX (@carnivoremd2.0) saying to avoid seeds, roots, stems, vegetables because they're harmful to human body in favour for meat, organ meat, fruit, honey and white rice occasionally?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2444 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2438: Tolerating Thyroid Supplements, APOe4 & Alzheimer’s Risk, Skin Issues with Foot, Kidney Problems, Book For Children (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, About 9 months ago I started working with your wonderful team at Equilife to rebalance my body & get healthy again. I took the big 5 labs and worked with an Equilife health coach. She came up with a plan which I followed diligently. It consisted of the 7-day detox, CBO, CBO finisher, mold, heavy metal detox and an intestinal cleanse at 3 separate times during the plan. At the end of all that I even did the 21-day detox to help clean out any toxins that the protocols didn't catch. Unfortunately, I am still in a hypothyroid state due to Hashimotos. I understand that some people will need medication or some kind of glandular support even after rebalancing the body due to the destruction of the thyroid tissue. The problem is that I can't seem to tolerate thyroid medications or even natural glandular products. When I take these I get symptoms such as severe insomnia, heart palpitations, anxiety etc. even at the smallest of doses, Just like symptoms of being overmedicated. I've done lots of research over the years and one of the thyroid books that I have says that low cortisol can prevent the thyroid hormones from entering the cell. According to my SMM test, my cortisol results were fine. A few years ago I was on cortisol medication which enabled me to tolerate the medication but it didn’t help my symptoms. The same thing happened while taking adrenal cortex. My question is if you ever had a patient that couldn’t tolerate medications/glandulars & if so how would you remedy this? FYI I have been in a hypothyroid state for 30 years now. I live a very healthy lifestyle with an antioxidant rich diet, exercise & manage stress. I am planning on retaking the big 5 labs again to see if the protocols worked & if there is anything that is preventing me from getting well. I had to retype this question & shorten it once the text field prevented me from typing any more words, apparently I still have to submit 2 questions. I apologize for the length of this question as I tried to make it as short as possible without leaving out important details. I’ve spent all my time, energy & finances in trying to get well & I’m not sure where to go from here. I am very grateful for you & your team and thank you so much for your help!   Carrie: I understand my APOe4 is 2/4. What does that mean for me? I was told I have a 50% chance of acquiring Alzheimer’s. Thank you.   Sandra: My almost 6yr old son has had a cut under his big toe (where toe meets foot) and sometimes it looks irritated and other times it dries out - the cut runs from end to end of his toe..at one point it was on both big toes and now only one. I have tried fully drying it out with a hair dryer during the winter, also applying teat tree oil/ointment.. but this one cut is always there. Do you have any advice on what it can be and how to heal it?   Tonya: Hi there! I am pretty confident that you and your team can help my aunt get on the right track with her health but I thought I'd write in so my cousins can here it for themselves... now I am going to be very vague because I don't know many details but I do know that's ok as far as you just pointing her in the right direction... my aunt has kidney issues. She currently does dialysis 3 times a week and has been for quite some time. One time she told me she is only allowed to drink 8oz of water a day. And my dad has told me she has not urinated in years. I would love so much for her to not have to spend the rest of her life like this. Where can we start? Thank you so much for all your knowledge and care. (I plan to join IHP and have just started reading your book! )   Tara: Hi there! I love your podcast and have gotten so much out of it. Thank you for all you do. I’m currently reading your book, The Rain Barrel Effect, for the second time. It’s SUCH an informative read, stuff I wish I learned earlier in life. I homeschool my three young boys and would LOVE to utilize your book in our homeschool program. It may be a bit advanced for them, but I can adjust it to their level. I was wondering if you ever thought of writing a book geared more towards our younger generation? Or do you have an recommendations of books I can incorporate into our day. Thank you so much!

2437: Probiotics & SIBO, Hormonal Migraines, Severe Allergies & Asthma, Menopause Recommendations, High AM Blood Sugar (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Marilyn: In listening to your podcast about healing and sealing Leaky gut/SIBO, what is the name of the Lactobacillus strain that you suggest to start with? I can't quite understand what you said. I have been diagnosed with Leaky gut and possible SIBO but my functional doctor is wanting me to start with Probiotics and I get upper stomach pain from them.   Sandra: hi Dr. Cabral, love your work and I just finished the limited yeast protocol for high candida that came up on my big 5. I reintroduced all foods except for eggs. My migraines did not stop, and I want them gone – it makes me so hopeful that you say they do have a cure. My rain barrel must have filled up back in 2008 when painful migraines and hair loss/thinning started, and both have continued since. I am just fully looking into it after finding your work. For the last 6 years the migraines are mostly only in the nerves behind the eyes (eyes are healthy, no changes over time either) and mainly around the same time as my period, lasting 2-3 days. For 2 cycles, during the protocols, the migraine came a week after my period, that was the only change. I am working with a health coach and now focusing on heavy metal detox – mercury levels at 0.132. What else should I focus on? I think they are hormonal... and wonder if hair thinning can also be tied to hormones.   Emily: Hi Dr. Stephen, I really appreciate your guidance and advice. My just turned 8 year old son has been critically ill many times. He has severe brittle asthma, severe mucus plugging (has required high flow oxygen many times) and is highly allergic to many things, including being anaphylactic to antibiotics. I had a healthy pregnancy & he was born just after his due date, all natural birth & breast fed till he was over 12 months old. His siblings have no allergies or lung issues. He is currently undergoing allergy injections (2 injections every 4 weeks) for his rye grass, dust mites, moulds, and olive tree pollen allergies, we are 18months into this treatment which is set to continue for 3years. So far we have had no noticeable improvement from the injections. We have a farm in the South East of South Australia. He enjoys being active outside with his siblings and friends when he can. I am searching for help and advice. I am searching for answers as to why this is happening & what can be done to really help his lungs to strengthen & heal. I am struggling to get answers as to what is causing it all, from his specialists. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Kindest regards, Emily   Adele: Hello I am a 65 year old female, 5'2", 104, very active (walk, light weigh lifting (3-5 pounds), cycle classes, other gym classes. I suffer from daily chronic migraines. It is debilitating many days. After trying numerous preventive drugs - I now take "Memantine"(as of 3 months ago) which is for dementia patients - it is working fairly well right now.. Side effects are dizziness, low energy, head buzzing, etc. I plan to begin HRT again soon. should I? Other options for post menapausal issues? I have had 2 annual infusions of RECLAST past 2 summers. Osteoperosis same after that. They want me to take a 3rd infusion. Other issues are: severe osteoperosis, macular degeneration, neck and back pains. Supplements: (organic?) Vitamin D3 10,000IU, Calcium, Vitamin K, Magnesium, Fish Oil, I eat a fairly healthy diet - I ordered the 21 day Detox, food sensitivity test, Complete minerals and metals test. Any other recommendations? What is too much Vitamin D?   Alicja: Dr. Cabral, I need your wisdom again. I started checking my blood sugar and noticed it is always high. My glucose level first thing in the morning is always above 100 (between 105-115) I can't get it below 100, no matter how long I go without food. After eating it's between 130-180 depending what I ate. I listened to your older podcast and applied all 3 things you talked about. I eat 3 meals per day (3-4 house apart) I tried fasted jogging in the morning and I typically do intermittent fasting. glucose level is always above 100. I also noticed that if I go over 3h without food, the glucose level often rises up comparing to what was 2-3 h after meal. Do you think it's because not eating is too much stress on my body? I'm not typical candidate for diabetes. I'm tall and skinny, vata body type. I'm underweight (BMI below 16) I'm not sure if I have to give up carbs? Also does all that mean I'm insulin resistant? Or that I don't produce enough insulin? Thank you again for your help. Your big fan.

2431: Airport Security Scans, Periampullary Diverticula, SNPs Guidance, Hemochromatosis & Metal Detox, Adrenal Soothe in AM, FXTAS (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Lisa: Hi Dr Cabral! I am starting to travel a lot for my job, and I am wondering if I should be concerned about going through the XRay machines at airport security several times a year? I am also curious if you think the check in using Clear (where they scan your retinas) are safe. I was considering signing up, but I wanted to get your thoughts first. Thanks!   Ashley: Hello Dr. Cabral! I have been listening to your podcast and following your protocols since I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called undifferentiated connective tissue disease in 2018. I am currently doing the CBO protocol after completing a 7 day detox. I feel so much better and down about 7 pounds! I am about a week and a half in to the CBO protocol. My only issue is that I am experiencing constipation, loose stools, and afternoon fatigue. Also having so muscle pain at night that feels like “growing pains”. I was recently diagnosed with periampullary diverticulum of the gallbladder, and was told by my GI specialist that this might be why I have a hard time digesting seeds and nuts and probiotics would help. From personal experience I have struggled to find a decent probiotic that worked for me. I don’t know much about this diagnosis. In February 2022 I did a candida test which was negative. I also did an igG 184 food panel and had lots of sensitivities which indicated leaky gut. In May 2022 I completed a SIBO test which was also negative. I’m just wondering if anyone had any experience with periampullary diverticulum of the gallbladder and if I should continue to follow the sensitive food guide as is when I know I don’t have SIBO or candida overgrowths? Thank you!   Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've listened to your methylation podcasts & know I have issues bc of genetic testing. The problem is, the SNPs I have showing red aren't the ones you mentioned in your podcast. I read that I should avoid methyl Bs because of having COMT/TXNRD2 A4251G TT risk alleles combined with COMT V158M AA risk alleles & COMT H62H TT risk alleles (all three are red for me) because this means I have trouble breaking down dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine and estrogen: "It has been clinically observed that the body may have trouble tolerating methyl donors (folate, B12, methionine, betaine, choline) with a COMT V158M + and a VDR Taq + status.” Also said with lower COMT activity to avoid supplements w/ catechol structure - quercetin, EGC/G, and luteolin (which you said help methylation). My B6 is low (0.96) but B12 looks okay (1.2) and I was advised to take your Activated B complex, but I'm nervous about the methyl Bs after reading above. My brother also has low B6 and vit C and has seizures if he ever misses doses of Keppra. My question is whether you know anything about these other SNPs, if you advise supplementing with B6 only, or if I can somehow get more genetics guidance through your practice?   Carol: Thank you so much for helping me with the main Dr Cabral detox and the heavy metal detox. I feel better. My question is about treating hematochromosis, where some people build up excess iron in the body, especially the liver Normal treatment is frequent blood donation. My question is, is the metal detox going to help this? How about the regular detox? Thanks Carol   Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope you are doing well. My question is about Adrenal Sooth suplement. I learned from your podcasts that the best is to take it at night, or at lunch and then again after dinner. My highest stress is always in the morning and first half a day. Is it ok to take Adrenal Sooth with breakfast? Or would that slow me down too much and made me feel a bit sluggish during the busiest time of my days. Big THANK YOU for your amazing work.   Cathy: Hi Dr Cabral, I am so happy to have found you several weeks ago. I work with a wonderful Holistic Chiropractor and she is following you as well, she has me on a parasite cleanse and I did a liver cleanse beforehand in January. My question has to do with a friend who has Fragile X-Associated Tremor Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS.) Apparently, she is a "carrier" of the gene and has an adult son with autism who has the RNA gene. I looked on your recent podcasts to research but didn't find anything. Thank you in advance for any info you might share and I look forward to working with you and your staff in the future.

2430: Home-Made Tinctures, Adrenal Soothe vs. Adrenal Energy Support, Crohn's Journey, Gut Health & Alcohol, Sarcoidosis, Weight Loss Without Thyroid (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Ryan: First off, thanks again for all that you do in providing great content, services and products to our community. I have a question in terms of tinctures. I am currently growing shiitake and lion’s mane mushrooms on logs in my yard along with harvesting wild oyster and turkey tail mushrooms. After eating ample mushrooms I will have a lot extra and am thinking of making a dual extract tincture with all 4 mushroom types to take advantage of the medicinal properties. My question is if you end up with a 30% alcohol tincture and take a dropper per day does the alcohol consumed counteract the benefits of the mushrooms? Can kids consume tinctures? Thanks again.   Alicja: Dear Dr. Cabral, Could you please explain the difference between Adrenal Soothe and Adrenal Energy Support (EquiLife supplements) Which circumstances would a be better fit for adrenal soothe and when adrenal energy support is better. Thank you so much.   Keith: Dr. Cabral, I'm 61 years old, I've lived with Crohn's since my early teens and despite numerous doctors, psychiatrists, tests my disease went undiagnosed. I suffered through many episodes of depression, apathy, anxiety and general malaise. At 46 my disease flared and I was misdiagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, being treated for UC for 3.5 years with multiple flare-ups, hospitalizations, prednisone cycles, etc. After a severe flare-up I ended up in the Emergency Room at the University of Chicago, by God's grace Dr. David Rubin was on call and took over my case. Two days later after multiple tests, I was told my colon was ready to rupture in 4 spots(1in each segment), 5 days later surgery to remove 98% of my large intestine. 6 months later after a sigmoidscopy, I endured a 10.5 hr. surgery due to the significant scar tissue and inflammation. I live with a permanent Ileostomy. I've been on an 11 year journey to understand and develop a lifestyle to adapt to this handicap and have yet to be exposed to a comprehensive article, podcast, etc to better understand this condition. Your podcasts have enlightened me on so many subjects and would ask if you might able to address this on one of your podcasts? Sincerely Keith   Ryan: Thanks again for all that you do and hope you are having a great day. For my question, once you take the time and put in the effort to get your gut rebalanced how sensitive is it to becoming imbalanced and what can you do to help maintain? More specifically, on a week long vacation I can have a few alcoholic drinks daily, would this or could this mess things up? Is there anything that can be done during the vacation to help reduce the risk? Daily foundational protocol, healthy gut support, probiotics, immune support…? Have you heard of ZBiotics? It is a pre-alcohol probiotic that breaks down acetaldehyde, would this help? Once again I know the best answer is to abstain from daily alcoholic drinks but just wondering how to reduce the potential damage. Thanks again.   Kevin: Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with sarcoidosis. Are there protocols or perhaps labs whose result(s) would provide a path beyond medications?...or is conventional medicine my only option? Thanks, Kevin   Katherine: I had a thyroid storm in 1984, and my thyroid was radiated. I have been on Synthroid for 38 years. i was diagnosed with Graves in 1984. I am 60 years old. 5'3 135 pounds. I have struggled with my weight for all of these years. How do I stoke my metabolism without a T-3 or T-4 gland?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2430 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Where most people go wrong is that they overestimate the amount of work in order to make improvements in any area of their health…   What really matters is what you are doing on a daily basis because these daily actions accumulate over time…   Science shows us that a majority of the cells in our body are turning over every 90 days…   If you can commit to making small changes in your daily habits, you can make a dramatic turnaround in any area of your life (especially your health) within 12 weeks’ time…   So, on today’s #CabralConcept 2425 I’d like to share with you why healing is inevitable- Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2425 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2424: Adrenal Soothe in AM, Herbs & Miscarriage, Pars Planitis, Healing from Mold, Fibromyalgia, AquaPure (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope you are doing well. My question is about Adrenal Soothe suplement. I learned from your podcasts that the best is to take it at night, or at lunch and then again after dinner. My highest stress is always in the morning and first half a day. Is it ok to take Adrenal Sooth with breakfast? Or would that slow me down too much and made me feel a bit sluggish during the busiest time of my days. Big THANK YOU for your amazing work.   Anonymous: Are there any herbs, supplements, etc. that you know of that definitively cause miscarriages? (Not simply herbs/supplements that are recommended to not use during pregnancy out of caution, but herbs/supplements that have an extremely high correlation and possible causation with miscarriages specifically)   Angela: My 22 y.o. daughter was diagnosed with Pars Planitis when she was 10, which is a disease of the eye that is characterized by inflammation of the narrowed area between the colored part of the eye and the choroid. This may lead to blurred vision; dark, floating spots; and progressive vision loss. As the condition advances, cataracts, retinal detachment, or macular edema may develop". She has been seeing one of the best doctors for this at Emory Chilldren's Hospital in ATL. She gets steroid injections and or a cryo procedures done once/twice a year. Her doctor had always predicted that she would grow out of this in her early 20s, but that is not happening. Her doctor is now recommending that she start taking either Humira or methotrexate (which is what I am taking). I was diagnosed with RA in 2004 and she was tested for that recently as well, but found that she does not have RA. I have been following you for several months now. I have done the 21 day detox, ran the big 5 labs plus the stool test, had my 2 hr consultation last month with one of your IHPs and working through all of my protocols now. The last thing I want is for her is to get on these meds which I am trying desperately to get off of . Just wondering if you have any knowledge of this and what you recommend?   Mallory: Hi Dr. Cabral! I thought of one more question to ask you after writing in last week! I’ve done your mold protocol & felt better fairly quickly! I do however still see biofilm in my stool every day after slowly detoxing for about a year now. Could what appears to be biofilm in my stool, actually be the result of something else, such as a supplement? Are you able to say if this is my body still detoxing? I’ve been getting what I believe are Herx - type reactions about once a month. I am wondering if this is more than likely because of detoxing too quickly, or if i am just catching more colds because my immune system is down. I use gi detox, which I realize is charcoal based. As I heal, could my body become less sensitive to charcoal / binders in general? Can you tell me if it is possible to heal from mold toxicity (Ochatroxin A, specifically) without any binders at all? Can Citricidal help? Lastly, I was diagnosed with hoshimotos shortly after I got my mold labs back. Have you seen individuals get rid of hoshimotos by detoxing from mold? So sorry for all the questions, I understand you cannot give medical advice :) I unfortunately have not yet been able to get in touch with any other professionals that are as experienced as you in my specific dis-eases! :)   Jenna: I am writing on behalf of my Mom who has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and it's mainly concentrated to her leg muscles. They are constantly achey, especially at night and hurt even more when she lays down on them. It's like the nerves are sensitive to any pressure. She has done 2 labs through EquiLife- an HTMA and an Omega 3. The HTMA showed Calcium & Magnesium through the roof, and elevated mercury (she has amalgams but won't get them out). The Omega 3 test was normal (she supplements). What would be your next step in this scenario?   Steven: Hey Doc! What are your thoughts on AquaPure? Apparently it uses regular tap water and a small amount of salt to create a “powerful” cleaning solution that removes pesticides, bacteria, and other contaminants. It claims to get rid of more than 99% of pesticides but no sure if this is legit!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2424 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2423: Scleroderma, Breastfeeding, Flex Meals & Fasting Planning, Colon Cleanse, Group A Strep, Help for Type 2 Diabetes (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Dr. Cabral, I searched your podcasts and only found a couple short snippets on the topic of scleroderma. I am awaiting a visit with a rheumatologist, but in the mean time would like your perspective on this. I have had Reynauds symptoms for 10 years and the past 8 years have had chronic constipation and bloating, with several areas of scar tissue being seen in CT scans and xrays, but scleroderma was not brought to my attention until recently, when an OT connected the dots learning about my Reynauds symptoms. Obviously, this would be the type of scleroderma that impacts the internal organs, and not the skin. I lost my grandmother to scleroderma at a very early age, so it is present in my family and the "gene" associated with the disease is prominent in my family, manifesting as MS, diabetes, and colitis. I have done your CBO protocol after completing the stool and heavy metals test, with very little to no success. Without giving me medical advice, can you give me some advice? (Hopefully you find the humor in that). If a scleroderma diagnosis is positive, how would you recommend approaching it without Big Pharma in my pocket (and bloodstream)? Thank you so much for your thoughts.   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - Please know that your whole community of faithful listeners is beyond grateful for what you and your team do every single day! My question is for my daugher and breastfeeding. She has an infant and is planning to nurse for the first 12 months, if possible. Realizing you cannot provide medical advice, etc., I'm curious about what you and your wife chose to do when it was time to wean your two daughters. She also follows your protocols (including your prenatal protocol) and is gluten and dairy free. She doesn't want to introduce cows milk dairy as is traditionally recommended by pediatricians. Did you transition your daughters to goats milk or another alternative like almond milk after nursing? Thanks for all you do!!   Shaun: I listen to your intermittent fasting podcast and I am really interested in the flex meal once a week with 24hr fasting 1-2X a wk with 2-4 cups of greens/salads/day. Any written plans on this where I can glance at instead of trying to figure out what to eat daily and cal. My macros? I like to get my meals set for the week since I have kids and I’m a firefighter, not a lot of time in morning to always create my meals…   Ashley: Hey! I love listening to your podcast, you mentioned In this episode that you recommended a certain colon cleanse.. and that it was not your brand, I don’t see it anywhere on show notes. Could you tell me the brand?   Nikki:  Hi Dr. Cabral. I have a question about something rarely talked about. Can you talk about group A strep? I recently had a severe kind of vaginosis that was so itchy and painful I could hardly walk or sleep. I tried boric acid with no help and it lasted for 2 weeks before I finally went into the doctors. They ran every test you could and all came up negative except for group A strep! The doctor said its very unusual to see in adults but nonetheless less said I needed antibiotics. I was so desperate I had to. Things were progressively getting worse and I was developing sores down there. Simultaneously I ended up with major hemeroid, sore throat, headache, and a huge sore on my mouth that won't get better even with my tea tree oil! Anyways my 4 yr old daughter caught it from me I think somehow and is now suffering similar issues down there without the pain. Again I think I need to do antibiotics as I cannot figure out how to recover this on my own as it is not typical vaginitis. Can you talk a little about what this is, how could me and my daughter have gotten it, if its possible to get rid of without antibiotics, and if I should have my husband tested as a carrier? I'm wondering if I picked it up from him . Anyway thanks so much for all you do! God bless!   Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to ask you how did you fix your type 2 diabetes? My last blood work showed Hemoglobin A1C at 5.9, which is a little too high. I recently bought glucometer and my fasting glucose is around 105. For the last few days since I started measuring, my glucose level doesn't want to go lower than 105 (even when I'm before bed or before meal). I want to reverse it and I would love to hear how you fixed your sugar imbalances. (btw I'm underweight ( BMI below 16), with hypothyroidism and gut issues that I'm currently addressing) Also I would like to get CGM and was wondering if this device would survive hot yoga workouts (high humidity, 105F and LOTS of sweat) Thank you so much for your answers and all your wonderful work.

2417: Sodium & Dry Skin, BCAAs, Weight & Aromatase Inhibitor, Keloid Scars, Virus & Nerve Pain, Encopresis & MiraLAX (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all you do and for your amazing podcasts, you are a wealth of knowledge and I trust your word before anyone else!! My question is about sodium. I get really dry skin mostly on my face when I have a very small amount of salt. Is this a gut issue like candida or yeast overgrowth, why would this be happening so much later in life? I'm a male, 43 years of age and I'm in pretty good health overall. I never had an issue with salt when I was younger, but now my nose, cheeks and sometimes hands get really really dry. I predominantly have salt only on the weekends, and whether its celtic or himalayan and maybe a cheat meal from a restaurant, it just seems to overloaded my body. I always keep up with my water throughout the day so I am hydrated as well. Any help with this is greatly appreciated, keep up the fantastic work!!!   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral thank you for all you do and for putting out these podcasts daily. They're highly informative and I'm learning new things everyday!! My question is about bcaa's. I know you've talked about them before but I was just wondering if when working out or lifting weights, a person can have 3-5 grams in water during the session to keep the body anabolic and not tap into muscle as a fuel source? Ive heard that the leucine in bcaa's, if your having it every 3-4 hours throughout the day (especially if your not having any fish or meat with your meal) will basically flip an internal switch to keep you in a anabolic state so you don't slip into catabolism and you can keep building muscle. I know we are supposed to have half our body weight in protein a day, so would this go against that and up your protein intake too much? Thank you again for all you do!   Kelsey: I’m wondering the best approach to managing weight gain and inflammation and overall feeling better while taking an aromatase inhibitor.   Luciana: Dr. Cabral, I have a severe case of keloid scars. I have done multiple surgeries to remove them, but it keeps coming back. My last surgery was 2 years ago to remove two very large scars from my back and shoulder. After the surgery we followed up with radiation, compression, and steroid shots. I’ve been battling this since I was in 4th grade and have tried everything modern medicine has to offer. Yesterday I went to my doctor to get more steroid shots and he said I can’t get them anymore because the skin is too thin. The scar is getting wider because of the tension in the shoulder. I’ve asked Naturopathic doctors before, but they didn’t know how to help me. I’ve been following your work for the last few months and I’m getting ready to start the 21 day detox this weekend. Modern medicine claims that keloid scars are genetic, even though I’m the only one in my family who has it. I’ve always asked why I’ve only start developing them after age 10. Have you threated any patients with the same condition? What would your recommendation be? Should I setup an online consultation with you so we can further discuss the matter? Thank you for your time, Luciana   Alexis: Hello Dr Cabral, I’m in IHP2 and grateful for all you do. I was on the mend from Covid and 2 days later I woke with full body severe nerve pain. Then full body numbness & no longer able to walk. Diagnosed as Transverse Myelitis and positive for HHV6 and MOG. As a child I had JRA and EBV (then was fine!) and later had issues arise as an adult like: shingles, rashes, vertigo, food sensitivities. I worked with someone to get rid of Cdiff and Giardia. I’ve sealed and healed my gut a ton. But I must still have a higher viral load and/or other remaining issues, and this current virus attacked my nerves? What is the root?! I believe I can heal and I will! Any guidance on steps… greatly appreciated in this time of need, thank you   Tonya: Hello. My son has encopresis. He was diagnosed when he was 3 and now he is 10. For years the doctors said Miralax was the answer. Last year I decided enough was enough and quit the miralax. I hired a nutritionist and we did a food sensitivities test. Turns out he is allergic to dairy, gluten, soy, egg whites, peanuts, & tilapia. I searched your podcasts and found 1 other where you also suggested other testing so next we will do the stool test and so on. However, Ive also heard you mention a 5 day intestinal cleanse. And I was wondering if we could do this? Would this also work as a "Miralax"? Currently we are doing aloe vera juice and magnesium as well as a major diet change (that has been going great)!

2416: DFVB & Vitamin C, Methylmalonic Acidemia, Receding Gums, Mold Removal, Iron Dysregulation, Histamine Intolerance & Doshas (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    B: Hi Dr Cabral - I take the Daily Fruit and Vegetable Blend, and I see it contains Camu Camu amongst other fruits which is high in Vitamin C. I didn't see vitamin information on the Supplement Facts, and I was curious what would you estimate the DFV to provide as far as Vitamin C. Would you estimate it's more than 100% of the daily recommended intake? Thanks for a great product.   Tina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for everything you do! You are a blessing to all of us and are greatly appreciated!!!….. So, my son is 7 years old and was diagnosed with Methylmalonic Acidemia on his newborn screening. His body can not properly break down protein. And he will have to be more of a vegetarian. But the problem is that he has always been a super picky and doesn’t like vegetables. Since he started eating solids the doctors told me to feed him what he will eat. (With his condition he can’t go a day without eating or he can go into a metabolic crisis). I have tried almost everything to get him to eat vegetables and he wants nothing to do with it. What can I do to get him to eat healthier? The doctors say that it’s a stage that some kids go through and he will grow out of it. Thank you again!!!   Noelle: Hello! Thank you for all you do – I am learning so much from your podcast in the short time since I discovered it, and am very grateful for the wisdom and resources that you provide. My question is regardinga recently discovered receding gum line on several teeth. I am 25 and do not have a history of dental  issues (I had a root canal in high school, but that’s about it), though I do have chronic pain and a number of other random problems that I have been working through for a decade now. It was a bit of an alarming discovery, and I have been scouring the Internet attempting to discern how I might have caused this. What would be your primary recommendations to keep this from getting worse/improve it if that is at all possible?   Mallory: Hi Dr Cabral! I submitted a question a couple of months ago about mold/fungus in my sinuses, and your answer helped me so much! Thank you! I had a couple of follow-up questions. I've struggled with mold / fungal / bacteria overgrowth since I was a child (I had 4 sinus surgeries & was on almost constant antibiotics from the age of 4 to 12). I am 28 years old and am just now getting treatment for the root cause. Ochatroxin A was at 25 when last tested in Feb. Are you able to help me have an idea as to how long I may be detoxing for? I would love to start a family soon but I am currently seeing biofilm in my stool & urine every day, and have been for almost a year. I have pain in my lungs and anxiety while detoxing. I was strict with my diet for 2 months, but as I begin to introduce more foods, I feel pretty poor. My husband and I moved out of our 110 year old home that had visible mold to a 10 year old house. We did get the new house mold tested, and they assured us the house was mold free. We have since found small amounts of mold in the pantry and kitchen. We also brought some things over from the old house that could had mold spores in them, such as clothing. Should we get rid of that clothing? Are small amounts of mold spores okay if we have a good air purifier?   Amy: I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Root Cause Protocol (iron disregulation caused by copper/magnesium/ceruloplasmin imbalance) and if you've read the book. Thanks!   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am really interested in Ayurveda and I was wondering if there is histamine intolerance is connected to the Pitta dosha(based on the physical body type). If so, why are dry and astrigent foods usually recommended for pitta imbalance such as beans not recommended when you have histamine intolerance. I understand that these food lists should not be taken at face value and there is a lot more complexity to Ayurveda in general so I would love your input on it.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2416 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2411: Success Always Starts in the Morning (MM)

It is my opinion that there is nothing more important than how you start your day…   And one of the biggest trends right now in the biohacking space is the morning routine and how the right one can lead to success.   It’s no secret that some of the most successful people have a strict regimen when they wake up, but what many don’t realize is that it is not what their morning routine is comprised of, but instead merely the fact that they have one (more on this to come)…   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2411 I’d like to share with you my personal morning routine and why I feel success always starts in the morning .. – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2411 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2410: Bump on Lip, Birth Control & Weight Gain, Right-Side Pain, Store Bought vs. Fresh Milled Flour, Leaky Gut as a Child, Mosquito Bites (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Melissa: Please help me my daughter is 29 vegan eats healthy and take supplements. for a year and a half now in the very middle of her lip it feels like a knot and it certain times it swells up Hué Mongus had a bops recently they didn’t biopsy right where it’s at they biopsy next to it because the surgeon said whatever is in that is in the same area and it showed nothing can you please give us an idea how we can get her lip to go down? They had recommended Pepcid and antihistamines which she’s done so many and nothing ever worked they also recommend to do the same thing again and add prednisone that because of her past eczema which was recently healed and her past acne were really really too scared to go with prednisone any suggestions please please please thank you   Lisa: Hi! I love your podcast and appreciate you answering our questions! I came off the birth control pill 6 months ago and since I have stopped it, I am now up 9 pounds. Is this normal post birth control pill? Is there anything else I should be doing? Not sure if this is just water retention or bloating and will go away as my body gets used to not relying on birth control. Any insight would be helpful!   Sharon: Hi Dr Cabral, my daughter keeps getting a pain on her right side, just below the rib cage on her back. it’s been going on for a while now. Her bilirubin is high and her skin has a yellow tint. She’s thinking it could be her gallbladder. What are your thoughts on this? Is there anything she can do or a supplement she can take? She did a 7 day detox a few weeks ago. (However, this has been happening before the detox) Thanks for your help & all that you do.   Sharon: You’ve done a lot of research on wheat & gluten. I’m wondering, In those studies, did you also find out if they were eating the wheat/gluten from the store bought flours or if they were eating freshly milled flour from the wheat berry? You have to know that the flours in the store have been stripped of all their nutrients & fiber then “enriched” with 4 or 5 synthetic vitamins. Diseases became way more prevalent when they started doing this to flour. Freshly milled, has a ton of nutrients and fiber. Only missing a few nutrients to make it a “complete” food. It’s very Biblical as well. I’m curious to know if their studies were on the store flour, fresh milled flour, or both, independent from one another. Please help   Anonymous: Hi! Firstly thank you for all your wisdom over the years. You have helped me so much on my health journey. I have been thinking about my rain barrel and tracking the progression of my health issues over the years. As a child I had asthma, weak immune system, very lackluster and thin hair, and a lot of allergies to dust, pollen etc. As a teenager I ate a lot of sugar and developed insulin resistance. I still had allergies, but also got bronchitis, alopecia areata. In my 20s, i started getting skin issues, brainfog, water retention in face, androgenetic alopecia, and a lot of food allergies to lectins, salicylates and histamine foods. I have performed tests and i have insulin but no parasites, candida or sibo. However, i have leaky gut which i am trying to heal. Creating a timeline has me wondering, is it possible to have leaky gut or histamine intolerance as a child? Also do you have any thoughts on this progression (no medical advice ofcourse, just interested in your perspective).   Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral -What makes some people more susceptible to mosquito bites than others? Is it blood type, diet, etc.? When outside in the summer and fall I consistently get multiple mosquito bites (and sometimes they swell) when others I'm with with do not. I do have your recommended bug repellant, Herbal Armor, but I haven't been using it everytime I go outside. I'm just curious why I seem to be extra susceptible and also looking for your recommendation to stop the itch.

2409: Enlarged Tonsils, Breast Cancer, High Ferritin, PCOS & Supplements, Weight Loss & Hormones (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Ashley: Hello! My 7 year old son has very enlarged tonsils. He does have allergies and currently takes monolucast every night. I remember you talking about your daughter having enlarged tonsils and you did a protocol and it helped reduce them. He doesn't snore eveynight but sometimes he does. I don't want to have his removed and was hoping you could share what you did for your daughter and I could possibly try it on him. Thank you for your help and truly appreciate all your help.   Patti: Hi Dr. Cabral Wishing you well. I have listened to all of your podcast referencing breast cancer & many on cancer. I have had breast cancer twice in the same breast. I completed approximately 18 gene tests & none of them were found. I don't eat red meat, dairy or saturated fats & stopped eating eggs which I did not eat often. I do eat pasture raised organic chicken & turkey & wild caught sockeye salmon. Is there any research that they can contribute to an increase in cancer? Thank you as always!!   Jennifer: Hello Dr. Cabral! Thank you for taking the time to try to help me. I'm a huge fan and an avid listener! My naturopath ran bloodwork on my first visit with her and discovered my iron was high (169 with iron saturation at 56, TIBC was 304 and UIBC was 135). She did not check ferritin at the time, but everything else she tested was in the normal range. She had me take Alpha Lipoic Acid for a month and retested me 4 months later. I got "the virus" 2 months before the retest. At the retest, she tested ferritin (just regular ferritin, not saturation or any other measure). This time, my TIBC and UIBC were in the low range at 226 and 106, respectively. My iron went down to 120 and my iron saturation went down to 53. My ferritin was 247. My naturopath wanted me to take Alpha Lipoic Acid again to lower the ferritin, but I wonder about that, as my iron is fine now and my TIBC and UIBC are low. She wants to retest and if my ferritin is still high, start having me get my blood drawn to lower it. I personally wonder if the high ferritin is due to inflammation from the virus or if there's another missing piece here. I'm hoping you can steer me in the right direction of what to test for or any other ideas. Thank you so much for all you do!   Anouk: Hi there, I've been listening to your podcast which has been very eye opening. I have a few questions concerning my PCOS. On 6/18/21 I had a panel done. FSH: 10.3 pg/ml PROGESTERONE: 34 FREE TESTOSTERONE: 116 DHEA, ETRADIOL, T3, FREE T4 , LH, TPO ANTIBODIES, TSH , CORTISOL: ( all in normal range). I started taking all of the supplements below and re-tested on 1/20/22 and my levels were: PROGESTERONE: 13 FREE TESTOSTERONE: 58 DHEA: 2.1 and everything else was in normal range. Since my first lab on 6/18/2020 I have been taking these daily: MYO-INOSITOL, NAC, CURCUMIN, QUERCETIN, OMEGA 3, G.I PROBIOTIC At what point can I stop taking these supplements? I am a 27 year old female I exercise almost daily height 5' 8’' weight 125 My periods have gone from 67 day cycles to 35 days cycles and lasts around 3 days. My skin has cleared up and I know longer experience frequent panic attacks! ( My periods are still extremely painful) I am hoping to not be dependent on these but definitely don't want to risk having my previous symptoms return.

2403: Functional Dyspepsia, Stomach Burning, SIDS, NAD+ IV Therapy, Allergens & Sinus Issues, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Cristi: What do we know in natural health about "functional dyspepsia?" I just had an upper endoscopy to diagnose the cause of a burning sensation in my stomach just under my right ribcage usually right after eating/while eating that seems to respond to an amount of food rather than any particular food. Before this, the gastro had me do a stool test that was negative for H. Pylori. They took biopsies during the upper endo, but the doctor says he doesn't expect to find anything. He said he saw irritation in the stomach lining and it was probably caused by "functional dyspepsia" which was an imbalance of acid in the stomach. He said the causes of this could be different things, including stress (which I admittedly have a lot of, but I do what I can to control it) and that otherwise, causes were unknown, but that I could just take Pepsid! How long? Oh, maybe forever...Needless to say, I'm not doing that. SO, if all I know is that the acid is "imbalanced," how do I balance it? My diet, exercise, and supplement regimen are all along the lines of what you advise, so none of the other causes of this "disfunction" (NSAID use, fried/unhealthy fat foods, alcohol excess) make sense. Thank you!   Cristi: This is an add-on to my previous question about "functional dyspepsia." Another strange detail: I can "feel" the spot in my stomach that burns after eating during certain abdominal exercises. It's not pain, but I can feel it almost like it's an internal healing injury while doing the exercise.   Jillian: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a question regarding research on SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). I recently heard that Australian researchers had found a blood marker that could indicate the potential for SIDS. They noticed a significantly lower enzyme level of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) which impacts an infants ability to wake out of a deep sleep in the infants who died from SIDS. I've also read that high levels alpha fetoprotein in mothers can be another indicator for potential SIDS. Lastly, I've read that infants that died from SIDS also had higher levels of serotonin. With your knowledge, do any of these reasons seem connected? Are there things that a mother can do before and while pregnant to help her infant have a decreased risk based on this research. I know the alpha fetoprotein is an issue of the liver. Are there ways that mothers can support their livers better during pregnancy? Thank you for all that you do! Jillian   Janet: Greetings! Would you recommend IV NAD+? Single injection or a series of six? Thank you for spreading your knowledge. I wish everyone would listen.   Anonymous: Hello Doc! Thank you for your endless & genuine care for the health of everybody! I know there is no diagnosis, treating or curing any disease in your practice, but, a few months ago I had floors/carpet ripped up in my house which I'm sure put a BUNCH of allergens in the air. I work in a steel shop that has pollutants and irritants as well. The ear, nose, & throat doctor sent me for a CT scan and my nasal cavities are full of puss, hindering my smell/taste. I can breathe clear for the most part, but, I blow my nose all the time, sometimes sneeze 4 or 5 times in a row and from the inflammation it's all water. I'm getting nasal drip all day and I'm sure when I'm sleeping too, which I believe, will lead to bacteria in my gut. I was given 2 weeks of antibiotics which helped a little to clear it up and get the smell/taste back. Now its going away again. I don't want the shots they recommended putting more antibiotics in me, seeing as I'm working majorly on my health, and that would be a set back for sure. Do you have experience in your practice with sinus problems this bad in people? am I too far gone to just take a Mold lab- test, and do a mold protocol, would this help any? The treatment they want to do is way too costly. Thank you so much again and I ALWAYS trust your knowledge!!   Julia: Hi, my husband diagnosed with hashimoto's thyroiditis, can you tell me please what you know about? And what we can do about ?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2403 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2402: Donating Blood, High Progesterone, Oral Health Issues, Low Alcohol Tolerance, Burping When Hungry, High Anxiety (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Simon: Hello and thank you Dr Cabral. As someone who is 'obsessed' with optimizing my health and performance, I've always wondered how I should view donating blood and plasma. Putting aside the great benefit to others, could you explain what the immediate and medium-term impacts on the body of donating blood, in terms of overall health, mental and physical performance? Thanks!   Laura: What could be the reason of a 30 year old woman on phase 3 of adrenal dysfunction (adrenal fatigue) with normal levels of estrogen but high progesterone on a saliva test? Pg/E2 ratio, testosterone and DHEA all good. Never seen high progesterone before so not sure what we should be looking at here.   Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been having issues on and off for a few months with my oral health. I have tiny bumps on the end of my tongue that makes it constantly feel raw. My saliva always feels thick and it seems like food gets stuck before it even starts to go down my throat. My throat feels sore most days, like there is a lump when I try and swallow. My gums occasionally bleed when I floss as well. This all started a few months ago with not much different to my routine and I’m not sure where all this is coming in from. I feel like it has really affected my ability to eat and am looking for an idea of what this could be caused by. Thanks!   Lisa: Hi Dr Cabral! I have a hard time with alcohol. With 1 glass of wine I feel quite buzzed and I’m curious as to why? Is it a histamine intolerance or am I missing and enzyme? Liver clogged? Can I test for this and is there anything I can do or take to handle alcohol a bit better? I simply would like to be able to enjoy 2 glasses when I eat out without feeling too tipsy. Appreciate all your knowledge you share on these wonderful podcasts!   Kelsey: I have a client that burps when she is hungry. She doesn't burp after eating or have acid reflux. Would burping when hungry signal anything? Thanks!   Tiffany: I am 46 years old and my anxiety is getting worse and affecting my daily life. I feel weak all the time and get surges of adrenaline at strange times. I get anxiety really badly when driving. I need an appointment with a functional medicine practitioner. I live in FL but would be willing to do telemedicine. I don’t know who to reach out to, but I am starting to get desperate. How can I schedule an appointment?

2396: Right Side Symptoms, Nicotine & Depression, Deli Meat, Lemon Juice, Dominant Nostril, Glycogen Stores (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Erin: Right sided issues only: so after my second child I started having weird symptoms/issues and all are right side only. Like the arch of my right foot, super tight right hip flexor, right shoulder rain and even my sinuses feel worse on the right side. Why is it ALL on the right side only?! I am working with an intergrative practitioner but just wanted your opinion. I have done an HTMA so far and did have some low minerals. Thanks so much!   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. Quick question about tobacco/nicotine use and it’s relation to depression. I have been using tobacco pouches for 10 years now. Every time I try to quit I find myself in deep depression. My first attempt at quitting resulted in a prescription for SSRI (Prozac 10mg) which I remain on to this day. What are the effects of tobacco and nicotine on the brain and is it possible to quit after this many years? Are there any supplements that would help in this process? Thank you so much for all you do.   Lindsay: Hi Dr Cabral. I have read many opinions that deli meat (processed meat) is bad for you. But, I love sliced turkey. Is it still bad if it's hormone free, nitrate free, and antibiotic free? What are the reasons it is still unhealthy ?   Anonymous: Hi Doc, I'm so grateful for you and your teams work. You are my biggest inspiration and a person I look up to! My question of the day: My local store has a super convenient solution for lemon juice. The product is organic pressed lemon juice. It's stored in a small dark green bottle. Ingredients are 100% organic lemon juice. What's your opinion about a product like this? Have a good day!    Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all that you do, I am very grateful that you take the time to answer all of our questions. For as long as I can remember I have only been able to breath through one nostril at a time. Most of the air comes in and out through the dominant nostril, while only very little goes through the other one. For the longest time I thought I had a deviated septum or some other issue. I did some research on this and found out about something called the nasal cycle. Apparently its a normal process that was discovered by Dr. Richard Kayser in 1895. It seems like about 70-80% of adults experience a regular nasal cycle in which one will do 75% of the breathing from the dominant nostril and 25% from the other one. The dominant nostril switches about every 90 minutes via tissue that is in the upper part of the nostril which swells up or shrinks. There are lots of reasons stated for why this natural phenomena occurs but in order to keep this shorter I won't list all the reasons. I've asked lots of people about this and its pretty much a split on whether they experience this or not. I would love to hear your opinion and thoughts on all this. Thank you very much for your time!   Hunter: Hi Dr. Cabral, I would first like to say thank you for all you do and your vast and ever-growing knowledge in the health world. I first found you on Ben Pakulski's podcast in 2018 and it changed my life. I recently graduated the Level 1 IHP course and owe you endless gratitude for giving people like myself a chance to learn more about health, forge a new career path and importantly, spread the message of health to my family and many others. You are an inspiration and my mentor sir. I'm a 43 year old male that works out 4 to 5 days a week, I get in my 10,000 steps, a smoothie in the morning, a salad at lunch and sardines/salmon and broccoli for my post workout meal. Job hours are 6am-4pm and I workout 4:30pm to about 5pm. My question is; What should I do as far as restoring my glycogen stores? I have been trying to stay away from rice due to the arsenic that's in it. Should I stick with sweet potatoes instead? I get to bed no later than 8:30pm and I'm done eating my postworkout meal no later than 6:15pm. Should I do solid foods earlier in the day and just have another smoothie postworkout and some sweet potatoes for carbs since it's pre-digested already? Again, thank you dearly for how much you've helped me!! P.s. You/Pakulski should do another podcast to talk new health data!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2396 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2395: Morton's Neuroma, Constipation in Kids, Afternoon Energy, Hypospadias, Joint Pain & Hypermobility, NMN Recommendation (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Larissa: I have had a Morton's Neuroma in my foot for about 7 years. I have tried alcohol injections, accupuncture and cryo surgery, all giving some relief but ultimately the pain comes back. My podiatrist is now recommending decompress surgery, and I am sceptical that will work. Can you address a more natural remedy that will get rid of it? I have tried ALL of the pads, spacers, shoes, etc that attempt to alleviate it, I am looking for it to be gone. Thank you!   Emily: Hello! Thanks for all your work at helping people become a healthier self and healthier world! My daughter is about to turn 3. She has been having “pellets” or harder balls for bowel movement. She drinks plenty of water and I feed her as healthy as I can. (Fruits,vegetables, no “packaged” things, And I even eliminated dairy.) She takes multivitamin, vitamin d, probiotic, and fish oil everyday. She wasn’t a premature birth, vaginal birth, and was breastfed for 15 months. She has a little belly but I always thought it her age. (you know how little ones look a little bloated before they stretch?) she doesn’t complain of pain and she’s a good eater. Do you think I should change something or do something differently? Thanks I appreciate it, emily and hazel   Jennifer: Thank you Dr. Cabral for all of your free education! My husband and I recently stopped drinking coffee and any caffeine to prepare for your 7 day detox. My husband was drinking upwards around 8-12 cups of coffee every day. Now he is drinking none and feeling good despite being extremely tired. He has no energy by late afternoon and feels like sleeping after work for several hours. I’m wondering if his adrenal system needs some sort of supplement to aide in functionality. Thank you for your time!!   Christina: Hello. My son was born with a Hypospadias and just had surgery to fix it. I’m trying to get pregnant and would like to avoid my next son having this same issue. Is there a specific vitamin I’m missing? I appreciate your time.   Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I currently have a goal to be able to complete a 5K. I have a history of significant joint pain-especially when running. I am also hypermobile. I have significantly decreased my rain barrel thanks to my IHP1 knowledge (going onto level 2!) and healing which has helped my joint pain, but I have had joint pain with running for many, many years now--could this be related solely to my hypermobility? Currently I do 10K steps and have completed some body weight exercise and light weight exercises-but have struggled with doing "too much too fast" and have felt worse and am back to just walking for exercise. I know healing is non-linear. By the time you get this message, I will have completed my HMD and will be completing my Stress Mood and Metabolism testing after. What would you suggest for appropriately working toward my strength training + 5k goal knowing I have struggled with hypermobility? Is there a best type of supplement for me as far as collagen? Have you had other clients successfully work through joint pain related to hypermobility-or are there other reasons for this I may not be aware of? (I have completed multiple FMDs, Para Support Protocol, CBO, and am underway with CBO finisher!). Thank you so much, as always, for your knowledge and direction!   Richard: Which NMN do you recommend and take?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2395 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2389: Children’s Orthodontics, Rest after Eating, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Histamine Gene, Supplements & ACV, CBO & Nutrition (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Deanna: I am currently weighing my options for correcting my 5-year old daughter’s cross bite - our holistic dentist recommends an ALF appliance while the orthodontist we consulted with speaks very highly of a Hang Expanser. I didn’t realize until recently just how much asymmetry in the mouth/jaw can really effect overall wellness. I want to make sure that I make the best choice for her long-term health. Do you have any insight into the world of orthodontics/myofacial therapy that could help me better make that decision? Maybe you have seen clients in your practice with one or both of these appliance? Any materials/book recommendations that you have found insightful on this subject? Thank you so much!   Patty: Most health practitioners say that after eating one should not lay down, but too take a short walk or some type of light exercise. I know that the digestion process goes to processing a meal after eating and we feel sleepy. Most animals sleep after eating. Shouldn’t we honor our body signals and rest for a short time after eating, so that our body’s can concentrate on the processing of the food?   Erin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which I believe was caused by my chronic Lyme disease. My question is, is this something I can get into remission like my Lyme? I’m most worried about this affecting me and a future child in pregnancy. Thank you so much!!   Anette: Hi Dr. Cabral, long term podcast listener and ayubowan member. Love all your podcast and the information you share. I have two questions, In your book and on previous podcasts , you’ve mentioned that you have specific gene mutations that cause certain issues like histamine overproduction. How can I find out if I have certain mutations? Is there a genetic test I can run? You seem to know so much about how your genes effect you and how to control them so they won’t express themselves. I know this information would help me tremendously as well. Also what are some supplements you would recommend for killing/getting rid of unwanted bacteria in the body? Are cat’s claw and oil of oregano effective? If so what are the dosages you recommend for adults.   Jen: Hi Dr C! I recently started drinking a glass of water w/ apple cider vinegar before I drink my morning smoothie. I've heard it helps with the blood sugar spikes to drink this prior to meals. I've been taking my morning supplements with my glass of water/ACV. Is there an issues you see in combining my supplements with the ACV? Thank you!   Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I would like to do the CBO protocol but I know the food list is very restricted. I am training for races except for a few months out of the year then I start training for the next race season. On long rides I like to take hummas, cliff block chews, picky bars etc for nutrition which is obviously not on the food list. How can I do the CBO protocol while keeping up my nutrition on long runs/rides? You are truly brilliant and I appreciate all that you do.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2389 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2388: Constipation, Air Pollution, Natural Deodorant, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Vitamin D & A Absorption, Hashimoto’s (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Seth: Love your podcast. And love how you explain things. So many questions I could ask, but I'll start with these 2. First, I've dealt with slow parastoltic movement or just plain constipation for ever. I've tried it all. Nothing works. I eat tons of fiber, and I focus more on insoluble. But tell me if I'm wrong. Second question. I see you wearing a smart watch. Is the emf levels different on that one? I've always opted for no wearable and wired headphones etc. Thanks Doc!   Catherine: Hi Dr. Cabral! My family and I live in a city with very high pollution. We live near an industrial area and there are frequently odours. Some days are fine, it's dependant on wind direction. Due to finances, we don't have the option to move in the near term, however I do hope to move somewhere with better air quality eventually. I have bought Coway air filters for our home, but am nervous about regularly breathing in the air from outside. How large of an issue do you think this is? Should moving be our top priority even if it's not great financially? Are there any other ways to protect our family (especially our kids)?   Megan: Hello! I listen to your podcast everyday. You are inspiring and so knowledgeable. I really appreciate you sharing everything you’ve learned about health and wellness throughout the years. Can I ask your opinion about the best natural deodorant for women? I switched to a non-aluminum based deodorant and my armpits get a rash when I use it. (Little red bumps). Should I keep using it in hopes my skin will adjust? Thank you   Alicia: Hi! First of all, thank you for helping me change my life. I did a detox, food sensitvity, and CBO thus far. I’ve had hidradenitis suppurativa since I was 8 years old and chronic yeast infections forever. It seems to be the worst around my cycle. I stopped my birth control and doxycycline for HS to do this protocol and a hadn’t had an outbreak until a week after completion. I have a yeast infection and five flares. An archived podcast mentioned the Gut & parasite lab. I need to know what I should run next to find my root cause because I don’t want to do antibiotics again! I’m desperate to get rid of these flare ups after losing 60 lbs this last year I want to wear tanks and shorts so I’m hoping to figure something out before it gets too bad. Please help.   Meghan: Hey Dr C, just a question about Vitamin D and Vitamin A. What do you say to people who promote not to take any more 2000 IU of vitamin D because it interferes with the absorption and utilisation of Vitamin A? Thanks for all you do   Tara: Hello, I am 37 years old and just been diagnosed with hashimotos auto immune disorder and I am lost. I’m waiting to a food allergy test but I’m Canada everything takes forever. I already know I have a gluten allergy due to how it makes me feel and my doctor just put my on Synthroid and I’m taking iodine drops, vitamin D, magnesium and omega - all good quietly. Is there any other immediate steps you would recommend?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2388 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2382: High Sleeping Heart Rate, Mercury Level Testing, Balancing Cortisol, Detox Your Lungs from Mold Damage, Fox-Fordyce Disease, Celebrity Diets (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Ryan: Dr. Cabral, I started wearing a fitness tracking watch about a year ago and have noticed a very common trend in heart rate throughout the day. According to my device, my daily resting heart rate low point occurs around 1-3pm after my afternoon walk, as opposed to during sleep, where most people claim your lowest heart rate occurs. I feel very rested upon waking, and tend to get very good sleep, bot in quality and quantity. For some context, I am 27, workout in the mornings, work a job that some days requires non-stop moving and other days based at a desk, I don't eat within 2-3 hours of going to bed, and my RHR hits 39-42 bpm in the afternoon, while usually hovering around 50-60 throughout the night. I am aware of the potential accuracy issues, but the repeating trend has me curious if this is an indicator of anything I could improve. Thank you for all you do and for keeping me constantly curious and wanting to learn and improve!   Julia: You and your team are incredible. Thank you for your dedication. I had a hair tissue test done right before removing my mercury dental fillings and other heavy metals came up such as tin and nickel but mercury was low! My holistic dentist said that it might have been because the mercury is trapped and can't get out from the body and hence not showing up in the hair. Is this possible?   Synthia: How would you go about someone that has high cortisol in the AM but low cortisol in the afternoon, evening and before bed? I already wake up earlier than everyone else to get my morning routine in and actually start my day relaxed before my toddler wakes up.   Carly: Hi Dr. Cabral! So much gratitude for your team and all that you do to empower us to reclaim our health and move forward on our journey towards healing! My parents recently had a series of unfortunate events happen following a major error made by a roofer when getting their roof replaced. Long story short, they had a lot of water damage in their ceilings and walls and have to get everything replaced to avoid mold damage. Their house has become unlivable. Despite our pleas, my father is insistent on staying and sleeping in the house; going down with the ship. I am worried about all the insulation and fiberglass he could be inhaling and would appreciate any suggestions on how to help him detox his lungs. Thank you so much!   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am such a huge fan of your podcast and it has honestly really changed my life. I now try to share it along with your book with everyone I know because it truly is a blessing. Thank you for all you and your team do! So, about seven years ago, I (25 yr Female) got this rash in my armpit and my dermatologist diagnosed it as a rare skin condition called Fox-fordyce disease. She told me there was no real cure but prescribed me some creams that I tried with no success. I have been learning a lot about Ayurveda these past few years and what it has taught me is that almost all conditions are reversible with the right approach and with time. Do you know of any remedy to this condition or at least a way to reduce it? I would really appreciate your insight. I would also love to hear your thoughts on healing post inflammatory hyper pigmentation on darker skin tones. I have some dark pigmentation on my legs from insect bites when I was a child that have never really lightened. Numerous doctors have told me that they cant prescribe the usual creams for this condition because they are not effective on darker complexions and could actually make the hyperpigmentation worse. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this. Thank you!   Dani: Hey, Dr Cabral. Quick question. A celebrity (Lori Harvey) was being praised for her figure and many women asked what's her secret. She responded that she trains twice a day (plates is one of the workouts) and ate 1200 calories a day for 21 days. This she said aided her to lose 15 lbs and get the figure she wanted. Her comments received backlash. So the question is, is what she did safe for her or something that one should not have done?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2382 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2381: Consecutive Detoxes, Q-tip Safety, Vaginal Candida, Necrobiosis Lipoidica, Vitiligo Cause, Thrombosed Hemorrhoids (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Alison: Hi Dr Cabral, thanks for all you do. I appreciate the effort you put into these podcasts. Here are my questions… Does anyone ever need to complete consecutive detoxes (like 2 rounds of the CBO) to fully recover? I’ve heard some detox experts claim that it takes 2 years to fully & safely detox heavy metals. I saw that your heavy metal detox program is around 6 weeks long. I’m not really sure what my question is, but is the 2 year program a fraud? Or can you explain why the time frame is so large between detox programs? Thanks again!!   Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, Hope your day is going well. I just want to know if using a Q-tip to clean your ears is a healthy habit. I do this after every time I take a shower. Some say it's good and others say it's not good because our ears don't need to be cleaned since our earwax serves a purpose, plus when using a Q-tip you can push the earwax in further and also potentially damage your eardrum. Do our ears need to be cleaned regularly? If so how? I would love to hear your thoughts on this. As always, thank you very much and have a good one! BTW, I tried searching for this & other topics on your podcast page but for some reason it brings up thousands of podcasts even though most of them don't talk about the topic being searched for. Last time this occurred I tried clearing my cache & cookies but this time it didn't help so I wonder if there is anything I can do to fix this and I apologize if you have covered this topic before.   Jessica: Hi does your candida gut protocol help w vaginal candida also?   Lindsey: Hello Dr. Cabral. As always, thank you for your time and knowledge. I am wondering what your thoughts are on Necrobiosis Lipoidica and if you have any tips to make changes to affect the root cause. It seems to also be related to granulomatous panniculitis and lipodermatosclerosis if those are inter-related. Any ideas to heal damage done by any of these?   Dana: Hello, my daughter and I have vitiligo, my father has it too but very little and seems like it's almost disappeared through the years, is there any causes of it or its hereditary and can't be fixed that's what the conventional doctors say, what is your take on that issue? Thank you so much, enjoying the podcast a lot!   Michele: Hi Dr. Cabral! You are the absolute best. I listen to you daily. I have a question about thrombosed hemorrhoids that I cannot seem to find any information on and my Dr. has been of no help whatsoever. I am a 41 year old female, 122 pounds, 3 vaginal births, and have been on a mission to get my health where it needs to be after years of mystery symptoms. A year ago randomly I got a thrombosed hemorrhoid after never having had hemorrhoids before in my life. The weirdest part was it was not the result of any kind of bathroom straining it literally just appeared one day and led me on a journey through hell for 6 weeks. I have been hemorrhoid free for a year and last week low and behold another one appears again with no straining. I have run my hair minerals test, candida, metabolic and vitamins test, have been working with an IHP and am on week 4 of the CBO protocol. I have been on a high fiber plant based diet, tons of water and walking, take the CBO supps, magnesium, and have added in some hemorrhoid support supps from Amazon because I am desperate. I am at a loss for why I would be getting these. Is this a weak vein issue? from having kids? just hormones and me getting older? I am living in absolute fear of this being a constant problem.

2375: Belly Fat, Coffee & H Pylori, Heavy Night Sweats, Niacin, SVT Symptoms, Diet vs. Exercise (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Eve: Hi Dr Cabral. Thanks for answering my question. I have always struggled with belly fat. The rest of me is thin but I have lower belly fat and love handles. No matter what I do I can’t get rid of it. I eat incredibly well, alternate between strength and cardio training daily and fast for approx 16 hours every day. I definitely do not overeat, perhaps sometimes under eat when I am having busy days. My only thought is that it could be hormonal (I’ve just taken out my IUD that I have had in for 6 years) or something to do with stress levels? Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated as I have been trying to find an answer since I was about 10 years old.   Angie: Hi Dr Cabral. I have had HPylori and am healing gastritis due to that. I used to drink one cup of coffee in the morning, but haven’t done that in over two years. I started drinking bio coffee which ingredients are: Instant Arabica coffee powder, non dairy creamer (glucose syrup from tapioca starch and vegetable fat from palm kernel), oligosaccharide (from chicory root) and wheatgrass powder. It’s suppose to be alkaline and it’s the only “coffee” that doesn’t hurt my throat and stomach. I actually feel better throughout the day if I drink it. Ideally, it would be best if I never drank coffee or processed foods, but I am curious to hear your review of the product.   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a fairly new follower but want to thank you for all that you do. I listen to your podcast every day and enjoy learning about the wide range of topics that you talk about. My question is on behalf of my partner. He is an extremely heavy sweater at night, to the point where I feel like I need to wash the sheets every day. He is 29 years old, vata body type. He is not over weight but is working on implementing less red meat and more vegetables into his diet. He has a pretty active job but does weight work outs 2-3 times a week and runs a few times a week as well. The one thing he does enjoy is beer, and drinks around 3-4 daily. Other then that, he is a pretty healthy guy. I have tried to look for what could cause sweating at night but mostly find information on menopausal women. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for things to look into or tests to run to start trying to figure out the cause of his heavy nighttime sweating. Thank you so much.   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I had a question about niacin. Growing up my mom had told me that getting too much niacin, specially as a female, was not good for your health. However, if I take the DNS powder and activated vitamin B complex each day I would be consuming well over the recommended daily intake of niacin. My mom doesn't specifically remember why she thought too much niacin was bad, so I figured I'd ask you. In my research I did find that pregnant women need to be careful with niacin intake, but couldn't find any information on any health risks for non-pregnant individuals. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you.   Stacey: Hello Dr. Cabral You have become a beacon of light & hope to me. I have been suffering for 15 years with extremely strange symptoms. My first symptom was SVT on my daughters 1st BDay my HR was 240 when the ambulance arrived and took about 10 min of baring down to get it under control or they would have to shock me . This continued until my catheter ablation to my heart a year after in 2007 . Soon after new symptoms popped up .. numbness in my chin , left leg , weakness in legs , brain fog and the very worse is and was the sensory overload. I have not been able to go to a movie , family gathering , b day party , any event without alcohol to calm my nervous system down . If I don’t drink ( and it’s shameful & no I’m not an alcoholic) I will actually throw up from the sensory overload and a feeling of what I’d think a seizure feels like comes me . It’s unbearable to say the least . ( p.s. zero family history of this) MS has been ruled out , my Drs have not been able to diagnose me with anything except SVT , Raynauds, MCAS & now POTS / dysautonomia in 2018 . These last 4 years have been my absolute worst ! I’m afraid I’m going to die . I’m now on xanax and plaquniel. Do you think your program can help? I have breast implants since 2006 , hernia mesh and amalgams.   Megan: Hi Stephen I have two questions for you: 1. to what extent does diet outweigh exercise i.e. if I only ate super clean and my exercise regime consisted of a light walk and gently yoga every day, would I lose muscle tone or would I retain light tone? 2. in your opinion what should a typical eating day be like for a vegetarian?

2374: Mittelschmerz, Probiotics & Mood, Semen Retention, Detox Nausea, Insulin & Fasting, Glyphosate Ban (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Sierra: Hello Dr Cabral, And thank you so much for everything. You have been such an amazing mentor to my husband and I and we are loving the IHP course, can’t wait for level 2! I had my first child two years ago (2019) with no complications during pregnancy. The only “complication” that I can say is that for a few hours after giving birth I couldn’t urinate on my own, which led to a catheter insertion to empty my bladder. I’m not sure if this can be related but I’ve been having this excruciating pain every month for two years, about 14days or so after my period (which made me believe it could be Mittelschmerz) that basically Inhibits me from living a normal life for 2-3 days. I can’t walk and if I do I’m hunched over holding my left lower abdomen (where my ovary is) due to a constant dull inflamed pain. Any how, I have been to the ER countless amount of times, have had blood work, seen multiple specialist, and I have been left with the same depressing answers “everything’s normal” or “you’re probably stressed because you are a new mom”… It’s been two years and the only options they are giving me is birth control (which I tried for 6 months and it didn’t help) or exploratory surgery. What would you recommend or what could be the reasons to why I’m having this on going pain? Thanks again   Alicja (Ah-leets-yah): Hi Dr.Cabral, Thank you for all your amazing work! I hope you can help me with my gut question: I've been dealing with gut issues for a while. I took probiotics daily and it wasn't until I found your podcast and learned that with people like me, probiotics may make things worse. I stopped taking probiotics and I noticed less bloating, however my mood dropped down significantly. I understand the gut-brain connection and I know I need to heal my gut to feel mentally happy too. Taking probiotics daily helped me stay happy and positive, but I noticed big shift in mood when I don't take them. I feel depressed. I'm currently on Para Support protocol (next will be CBO) Any advice for me during my protocols. Should I suck it up for a bit and still avoid probiotics for a while. Or should I start taking probiotics again and along with Para Support? Maybe just s.boulardii? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you again for all you do.   Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. I don't know if a trigger warning is needed prior to this question but is semen retention something that's actually beneficial for men? That is going days, weeks, even months with intentionally minimising ejaculating usually done by either abstention, stopping (intercourse or self pleasure) before the point of ejaculation, or learning how to climax without ejaculating. While I'm seeing many anecdotal benefits I understand some in ayurveda say that's Prajnyaparadha (unhealthy suppression). I know you usually have a more balanced approach. Will appreciate your take on this.   Malissa: Day two very Nauseous. Took the day off, Just did a dry brush, Epsom bath and drank water mixed with sea salt and lemons (Supposed to be a natural Gatorade). I did sweat so that’s good. Unfortunately. Suggestions for Nausea?   Francesca: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am a type 1 diabetic, female and 24 y/o. When I was 20 y/o, I started restrictive eating and my weight dropped significantly over the course of a year, as did my estrogen levels (below the charts). At that point, I was put on HRT and given doses of estradiol, and progesterone. I also began ED recovery. 3 years later, I have put on 50 pounds while still needing to eat very restrictive, my metabolism is very low, and most concerningly, I am experiencing blood sugars above 500 every day (very low carb diet!). My question is, What EXACTLY breaks a fast? I believe the HRT/ ED recovery has caused insulin resistance, and causes me to take insulin even when in a fasted state. is the insulin itself breaking a fast? There are a lot of studies that interchange the action of eating w/ the action of insulin secretion, but because I am a diabetic, one does not automatically follow the other. I just began taking Triphala, and noticed it has lowered blood glucose. But again, is this a fix to lowering insulin needs, or is this essentially processing the same as insulin, and furthering fat deposits? Your past podcasts on fasting suggests a lot of things that cause a glucose spike will break a fast, but does not truly define if its the insulin causing the fast break.

2368: Hemorrhoids & Candida, Orange Toenails, Endomorph Fat Burner, CNS Fatigue, Detox Help, Children’s Immunity (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Brittany: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all that you do and the information you provide, it has been incredibly helpful in my healing journey. Wondering if there is any connection between hemorrhoids and candida or other gut bacterial overgrowth? Especially in women who have had a history with antibiotics from an early age, 10+ years of birth control pill use, and poor (refined carbohydrate/sugar) diet? I’m learning that poor liver function doesn’t allow for proper filtration for various bodily functions and it dawned on me that there might be a connection between the two. Thanks for any insight or knowledge on this. Thanks!   Nikki: Would you have any ideas on why my toenails have a strong amber/orange tint to them? (I take DNS/vit D/vit C/cell boost/daily hair/magnesium/adrenal soothe/thyroid support) Thanks   Rob: Hi Dr Stephen j heard your interview in Hay Ferrugia podcast and was wondering where j can get more informed and info on managing and advice on my endomorph body soma type in order to break metabolic and hormone issues to turn myself into a more of a fat burner Cheers   Damian: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you for everything you do. I am 25 years old and live in the UK. I recently lost my dad and have suffered from central nervous system fatigue for over a year and a half. I have my diet dialled in - vegetables, healthy fats, fish etc, only walk as more causes greater fatigue and heart palpates and body shaking, I use a sauna daily and practise calming rituals like meditation. However I feel like my body is broken and do not know what else I can do. Doctors don’t seem to want to help me and I am struggling to live my life. Thank you, Damian   Shannon: Hi Dr Cabral. I’m starting week 2 of my 21 day detox. I’m struggling with the food list, as a lot of the foods listed are inflammatory causing (beans,lentils,hummus, asparagus,celery,garlic,shallot/onion,beets,snow peas,mushrooms,Brussels sprouts,artichoke,cauliflower, etc). I’m really confused how this detox is supposed to help people who have gut issues? Before starting the detox I had been following the FODMAP diet, eliminating all foods that cause inflammation. I felt relief and improvements, but also needed to go deeper with my healing. Now I’m incorporating all those foods back into my diet. My stomach is more bloated, gassy and I’m experiencing diarrhea. I thought perhaps the diarrhea was part of the detox? My sleep only improved on the 2 fasted days during the 1st week of detox. I’m still fatigued, not feeling any gut relief or losing weight. I’m not currently taking any supplements, only the shakes and detox pills. I’ve done your Candida/Metabolic, Minerals/Metals, Omega-3/Inflammation tests but I’m waiting for my results. I thought I’d get a jump start on detoxing and was planning on starting the CBO protocol after. I’m starting to question if I should stop this detox? Please share your thoughts and if this is normal? Thank you so much.   Maria: Hello and thank you for all that you do. I am really enjoying listening to your podcast and I'm also a member at equal life. I can really use some help with supporting my children's health. I have two girls who just turned six and seven. And they are constantly getting sick of something. It seems like every 3 weeks or so they have something new. Whether it's a cough, a cold, the stomach flu and so on. It's very frustrating. I feel like I do all the right things which is give them vitamins, make sure they're drinking enough water, make sure they're eating healthy food, getting outside, being active. But unfortunately they still get sick very frequently. Can you give me any recommendations as to what things I can do and should be doing for them and anything that you would suggest that I would add additionally.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2368 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2367: Pregnancy Over 40, Pituitary Cyst, Smoothie with Meals, Gut Healing Post Cancer, Lung Damage, Nose Odor (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for providing such great information in an easy to understand way. What are your thought on a woman getting pregnant at 42 years old? Is there anything a woman at this age should be sure to do, eat or take if pregnant or trying to get pregnant at this age? Is it too big a toll on the body at this age? Thank you for any advice and information you can provide.   Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral. Thank you once again for all the information you provide. Just listening to the mindpump podcast you mentioned. You mention cyst on the pituitary gland. Could you speak more about this; the consequense and what can be done to remove it or make its consequences less.\ Thanks you for any help and suggestion you share   Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. Hope all is well with and the family. I know you say to avoid liquids with meals unless it's like a hot ginger tea or something. Given the protein and caloric content some consider as “meals”. Just asking is it okay to have a smoothie at the same time with a solid breakfast or lunch or hould we separate the time we have that. Even if post workout etc. Thanks for all you do.   Lynette: Hi Dr Cabral I am recovering from breast cancer and am at the stage where I need to heal my gut issues. Do you have any gut healing tips WITHOUT the use of zinc and glutamine etc. These 2 supplements (along with excess copper, iron, protein and B1 and B2) are not recommended to cancer survivors. I love your podcasts, thank you for all you do. Regards Lynette (Australia)   Anonymous: Hello! I'm a relatively new listener and love listening to your podcasts and learning ways to heal myself and my loved ones, Thank you! My mom had lung cancer 6 years ago and has radiation damage to her lungs and COPD. She has had CAT scans every 6 months for the last six years and her most recent one showed an increase in fluid. Her oncologist put in an order to have the fluid drained and said there is nothing she can do on her own to help the fluid drain on it's own. She has been drinking Muellin Tea daily for the last 3 years or so. Is there anything else she can do or take to help the lung from retaining this fluid and/or repair the radiation damage? I searched the podcasts but could not find anything besides Muellin. I understand, no medical diagnosis or cures just would like to know what you would do for your family/patients. I also have another question. Should someone that showed high markers of Candida stay clear of red yeast rice for help with cholesterol? And is that the case for other forms of yeast as well? Thank you for all you do.   Tammy: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you so much for the research and knowledge you bring to the world! I am a 50 year old heathy female. My only issue is a have a n oder that my husband says comes from my nose. I don't think i can smell or taste like normal. I do sinus cleanses every day. I have tried your sinus support but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this and is there a natural way to help with this? Thank you so much!

2361: Dry Fasting, Rifaximin, Burning Hands & Feet, Nighttime Urination, Lectin Sensitivity, Antibiotic Overload (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, I would really appreciate it if you would provide your thoughts on dry fasting. I tried to search for previous shows where you spoke of this but couldn't find one where you spoke of dry fasting in detail, it's pros, cons and if there is ever a time where it should be used. Some say its dangerous and should never be done and others think it has its uses. I have a lot of cysts/lipomas (not sure which one) all over my body and a podcast I was listening to said drying fasting might work to get rid of them because when the body is dehydrated it will look for dysfunctional cells, tissues etc. to dissolve and extract water from. What do you think about all this? Thank you for answering my question, hope you are having a great day!   Gail: Hi Dr. C! Thank you so much for all that you offer to us humans seeking to learn and find health and balance in our lives. I am currently going through the program to become certified as an IHP level 1 and then level 2 health coach to add to my work as an acupuncturist and I'm so excited to have finally found the knowledge I have been looking for. I am curious to hear your thoughts about Rifaximin to treat SIBO. My friend was diagnosed by her ND with SIBO and Rifaximin is part of her protocol to treat it. Thank you for your wisdom on this and so many other health-related topics!   Michael: Hi Dr Cabral, what could cause burning/pin sensations in the hands and fit ? Tested negative on h pylori and candida. Tested positive for mold toxicity and possible sibo.   Michael: Hi Dr Cabral, what would cause someone to wake up about every 2 hours at night to frequently urinate?   Anonymous: Hi there! Thank you for all the great work that you do! It has made a huge impact on my life. I have been working on improving my gut health for almost 4 months now and I have noticed some improvements. I realized that i am extremely sensitive to lectins. I have always been but i never knew they had a name. So what i'm wondering is, can i still use oils from lectin-heavy nuts or seeds on my skin? Things like sunflower or chia seed oil? I am also trying to resolve a histamine issue that I have which came as a result of my leaky gut. So while i have eliminated high histaminr foods for a while, i am noy sure if i can still use them topically e.g with avocado hair masks. I look forward to your insights!   Jade: Hello, I have recently come out of having 4 months of antibiotics in hospital, plus have also come off my contraception; the hormone coil.

2360: BPA-Free Blender, Chest Pressure, Ghee & Trans-Fat, IHP Practice, Breakfast Ideas, Intestinal Pain & Supplements (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Richard: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have recently been looking for a new blender and it seems like much to my surprise, all the descent premium or high end blenders have a plastic jar. After some time of doing research I had decided on purchasing the ninja but then found out that the jar of this particular blender is plastic. This is really concerning to me because it's something that I use everyday and I don't want to be ingesting chemicals from the plastic. I know a lot of these blenders claim that the plastic is BPA free but from what I understand, when BPA is not used they use other chemicals that are just as bad if not worse than BPAs. I also mix in hot water for my morning smoothies to warm them up a bit since I use a lot of frozen fruits so that would make things more problematic. I also use hot water to clean the blender since sometimes there are stains I need to remove. Is this a legitimate concern or am I missing something here? I would love to hear your thoughts on this and some potential alternatives. Thank you for all your help, it is much appreciated!   Kristen: Hello! I’ve learned and been helped so much through you! After a “virus” my chest feels so much pressure, I went to a cardio dr and all checks out. I do have MTHFR I read that “ Homozygous variants, and some heterozygotes, may see a decrease in the metabolic pathway that converts folate and folic acid (vitamin Bs) into active forms. There can be a build up of homocysteine (amino acid) which has been linked to cardiovascular issues. ” I’m trying to turn over every leaf to get to the bottom of the random pressure when I lay down. Is It possible they are related or is there a connection with either one of these issues. I’ve done 5 protocols in over a year with significant improvement! To which I’m soo grateful to you and your staff!   Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. I see un ayurveda, they extol the benefits of ghee. I use it but recently started looking at the nutrition facts label and all the grass fed New Zealand based ghee brands I have seen say they contain some trans fat. Is pure grass-fed ghee of transfat concern? ? If ghee has trans-fat, why is ghee called healthy? Or is it a misperception given New Zealand is often touted as favoured by nature when making milk, with a climate, soils, and plentiful water that generate an ideal environment for growing healthy grass and New Zealand livestock access open pasture year-round, meaning space to roam and follow their natural affinity outdoors. Care to make us understand? Thank you   Lori: Hi, I am considering enrolling in your certification program. I am wondering, however, how to utilize it to practice legally in IL and many other states where it seems only an RD or CNS are allowed to make nutritional recommendations to clients. Thank you! ~Lori   Hazel: Im at a loss for breakfast I have high oxalates, a latex alergy and spontaneous uticaria/ dermatographia. I am following your mediteranean diet Many thanks. I listen to all your podcasts   Cody: Hi Dr. Cabral - I get acid reflux, mild diarrhea, and intestinal pain on my left side when I eat mildly spicy or citrus foods. I was curious if I had H Pylori, and I did a stool test and upper endoscopy which both came back negative. I also did an organic acid test which showed high levels of yeast. Before I start the CBO protocol, I decided to try some supplements targeted towards H Pylori just in case due to my symptoms. I've been taking Manuka honey, 1/2 cup cabbage juice, and L. Reuteri. I was fine for 2 weeks, but I'm now starting to get intestinal pain on my left side. I was planning to add mastic gum, but I've put that on hold now. Would you recommend stopping the H Pylori supplements and starting the CBO protocol? Compared to the CBO protocol, I've taken much less potent antimicrobials/antifungals in the past which started out fine but then gradually gave me intestinal pain. This is what led me to trying a treatment targeted towards H Pylori, which testing says I don't have, in the hope that it would allow me to tolerate the CBO protocol better, but I'm already having pain which I suspect is from the strength of the Manuka honey. In addition, zinc supplements give me intestinal pain, but I also take DGL licorice which is fine. Thank you for your time and advice.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2360 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2354: Supermarket Disorder, Reacted vs. Elemental, Histamines & Hormones, Coke Zero vs. Wine, Antibiotics & Gut Protection, Sleep Paralysis (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Sierra: Hi Dr. Cabral! For awhile now I have been experiencing dizziness and light headedness when walking around inside certain stores, however once I leave the store I feel better. I’ve read about it being a vestibular disorder and this condition being recognized as “supermarket disorder” or “visual vestibular mismatch”. Although it affects me the most when I’m inside stores, it also affects me when I play certain video games as well, or when I’m around a lot of people. This affects me 50% or more of the time. My question is, do you have any recommendations that may be able to help subdue the affects of this condition? Thank you!   Kelsey: Hello! I am wondering if you can clarify the difference between a "Reacted" supplement versus an "Elemental." I work at a place that sells practitioner grade supplements and my boss asked me if I knew the answer to that. I did not, but I thought of someone who would be better able to clarify! :) You, of course! Thank you for your help!   Anonymous: Is it possible for an overload of histamine to affect female hormones and cause estrogen dominance as a secondary effect? I am asking because we recently had "oakpocalypse" here in Houston (tree pollen above 12,000, which was double the previous all-time high record), and I was having symptoms of high histamine, but I also started having some symptoms of estrogen dominance (no other life or dietary changes in that time period other than the extreme allergen exposure) - when I googled this quickly, I found some articles off the bat that suggested histamine could increase estrogen, so I wanted to hear your expertise and any recommendations for what someone should do if this happens (other than your standard allergy advice ex. Vit. C, quercetin, bromelain, preventing allergens from entering home, Nettie pot, etc.)   Karim: What would you say is worse, Coke Zero or glass of wine? Hahaha. Sorry if it sounds silly but I’m just interested in your point of view.   Marnie: Hi Dr Cabral-I will be having an Inspire implant placed for sleep apnea. I will be having antibiotics perioperatively and postoperative. What must I do to protect my microbiome? Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. You are a Godsend!    Jordan: Hey Cabral! This is kind of an odd question. I have been having extremely frequent sleep paralysis and muscle numbness ever since I got covid. I know I am not alone in this as I know someone else that has been going through this as well. I have seen that there is now new research seeing a correlation between the two. I’m just wondering if you have any suggestions regarding sleep paralysis.

2353: Fine Lines & Wrinkles, EMS Training, PMS Symptoms, How Much Cardio, What To Do Next, Graves’ Disease vs Hashimoto’s (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hi. Thanks so much for taking our questions on your show. I love hearing other people get their answers and learning while I listen. I heard on a previous show that fine lines or wrinkles around the mouth area is not a result of aging but from other causes. I am only 47 and have recently (within the last two years) noticed a significant increase in vertical lines around both my upper and lower lips. Is this from nutrient deficiencies or something else? I did the big 5 labs, have been working with an Equilife IHP, and have been using your products now for 8 months. I was hoping the increased nutrition plus protocols I've completed (21 day detox, CBO, parasites, heavy metal) would have helped but the lines just keep getting more noticeable. Is there any way to get these to go away or can I only hope to keep them from getting worse? Thank you so much for your help!   Wendy: Hi Dr Stephen, can i ask if EMS training is beneficial for weight loss, especially for people over 45 years old? Doing lots of high intensity activities may not be suitable for people aged 45 and above.   Paloma: Thank you so much and your team for all your hard work every single day! I was wondering whether some PMS symptoms are normal or does it always indicate hormonal imbalances?   Paloma: Me again! I once asked you whether you thought cardio was necessary if I got my 10k steps every day + 4x a week resistance training with bands & free weights and you said it wasn't. I'm a 25 year old Vata so I don't like doing a lot of cardio because I lose muscle very easily. You've been speaking a lot about cardio recently so I'm wondering whether your answer would be different now? I don't have a lot of free time so to implement some jogging or biking would mean taking out 1 or 2 days of resistance training…   Tina: First off thank you and your team for all you do. I am a 53 years old. I did the big 5, the gut and bacteria test, and mold test. I am 12 weeks into my protocol working with an IHP level 2. I have done the 14 day functional detox. I am 8 weeks into the CBO protocol. I just finished the intestinal cleanse. I did a parasite cleanse and liver flush. My morning cortisol is very low and my evening cortisol is very high. Thyroid was a little high. I’ve been taking supplements to support my hormones and I have been doing the deep sleep protocol because I was experiencing really bad insomnia. I still continue to wake up at least four times a night. I’m very thirsty, I wake up startled, I wake up starving , and of course then I have to go to the bathroom because I have been drinking. I’ve been doing the deep sleep protocol, I’ve been wearing blue blockers before bed. I recently bought a lief device because my HRV is very very low. On average my number is 16. I also still have very bad Reynards. My fingertips go numb and purple. I also have this scab in my nose that clears up but then comes back quickly. TPOab is 32. Which is very very low. Any other suggestions on what I could be doing? Is my rain barrel that full? Do I need to keep doing functional detoxes? Could it be lyme? Thank you !!   Ryan: Hey doc Cabral. Wanted to ask a question regarding Graves’ disease vs hashimotos. When testing thyroid antibodies, i recently heard Amy myers say TSH receptor antibodies is more telling of graves and the thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin markers are more telling for hashi’s I wanted your thoughts on this, as I am testing these markers every few months in conjunction with near daily red light therapy exposure to thyroid. I did see a reduction in TPO antibodies from about 158 in November last year to 45 this past February. So it is cool to think that it may be lowered due to that exposure. I am a previous Graves patient. But will be looking to get the TSH receptor antibody test next time. Have you seen red light therapy work for these issues? Have you ever noticed any difference in testing those anti body markers for different patients? If TPO is lowering is that a sign that inflammation as a whole for the thyroid is lowering?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2353 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

We all have stories that we tell ourselves…   Whether we learned them as children or developed them through life experiences as an adult, these stories shape who we are today.   While most of these stories have allowed us to get to where we are today, it is important to note that oftentimes they hold us back from reaching the goals we have set for ourselves.   The good news is that YOU are the one telling the story which means YOU can change it!   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2348 I want to share with you how to recognize the stories that are holding you back and what you can do to move forward – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2348 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2347: Omega 3 Capsules vs. Liquid, Reticuloendothelial System, Chilblains, CBO Protocol & Sleep, Low Elastase, Plant Based Protein Powders (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Anonymous: I wrote in on FB and your support email and was referred to ask here. Can you tell me why the Omega 3 capsules and liquid has different EPA/DHA ratios and the liquid has added DPA. What would be the reason a person would select one option or the other besides not wanting a capsule or liquid?   Rani: I have searched the podcast archives and haven't found anything on this topic so I was wondering if you could touch on it. Could you explain the reticuloendothelial system (RES)? Specifically the iron recycling system. I see many practitioners talk about the iron recycling system & how supplementing with iron is unnecessary and possibly dangerous. I would love to get your explanation on this topic. Thank you as I value your knowledge and wisdom.   Samantha: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your time. 10 years ago I had what I thought was painful dermatitis/eczema on my hands, but looks like Chilblains. 2 years ago, my family and I found out we had mold toxicity and are still working through protocol with a functional practitioner (my suspicion is years ago, chilblains was my first symptom from an overactive immune response due to the unknown ongoing mold exposure). Do you have any insight on what root cause(s) is for chilblains and if it’s related to histamine and what can be done to heal from the disease, not just manage it. Thank you, Samantha   Alicja (Ah-leets-yah): Hi Dr. Cabral, My question today is about protocols and sleep. I started CBO protocol and my sleep got worse. Every day when I took CBO supplements I woke up between 3:00-3:30 am. When I'm up at this time - there is no chance for me to go back to sleep. I took a break from the supplements and my sleep went back to normal. I'm not sure what that means. Meantime I got my stool test results that detected one protozoa (Entamoeba coli) so I decided to do parasite protocol. The same thing happened. I started taking supplements (Para Support) and I started waking up between 3:00-3:30am. What do you think is happening? Any thoughts how to work around that? I need my sleep for proper healing. As always I appreciate your help and thank you greatly!   Alicja (Ah-leets-yah):One more question: My test results also showed I have very low levels of pancreatic enzyme: elastase. (It should be more than 200 ug/mL and I only have 28) I take digestive enzymes with every meal. Is there anything else I could do? Do you think HCL would be better for me? Or should I take HCL together with digestive enzymes? Is low elastase reversible or most likely I'm gonna be stuck with low numbers for the rest of my life and rely on digestive enzymes for the rest of my life too? I would love to hear your thoughts. I trust your knowledge very much. Thank you for you your amazing work.   Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’d love to hear your thoughts on plant based protein powders. I don’t know if I can use actual company names or not, but I’ve used Genuine Health and Sun Warrior over the last few years and I notice that I CAN tolerated plant based protein in a powder but CANNOT tolerate most plant proteins in whole food form. Looks like both companies are calling their products fermented which also raises a couple of questions. I know you suggest cutting anything fermented if you have gut dysbiosis, but how could any of those ‘good healthy’ fermented bacteria survive the processing required to make these powders? So is it necessary to cut these powders with gut dysbiosis? Is the purpose of the fermentation in these cases meant to purely break down the plant into a more digestible form rather than trying to use it to repopulate the gut with good fermented bacteria as you would do with homemade ferments like sauerkraut? I can understand that it might help break down the plant, but I don’t see how any good bacteria would ever survive that processing. Thanks so much, and have a great day!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2347 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2346: Constipation & Intestinal Cleanse, CBO Protocol & Constipation, Itching & Hives, Polycythemia Vera, Anxiety Rash, High B12 Levels (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Zoe: Hi there! Just listened your episode “how to cure constipation” as I am constipated right now. You mentioned that you would recommend an international cleanse. I didn’t see the brand in the show notes. Could you please tell me which brand you recommend for that? Also I have already purchased the 21 day detox. Should I do a intensional cleanse first and then detox? Or is it okay to just start with the detox? I am getting my hormonal birth control out on the 22nd so I was planning on starting the detox on the day of removal or next day.   Anonymous: Dr. Cabral, by the time you answer this, I will have completed the CBO protocol and likely be continuing through the CBO Finisher. I am currently beginning month 3 of the CBO and have a need for more improvements in my constipation/trapped gas symptoms. I have been very diligent, and followed the protocol exactly as recommended. I tried the intestinal cleanse on week 6 and experienced the constipation and lack of motility in over two years, and I took the binder and 4 capsules 3x per day for 5 days with only one bowel movement. If this protocol does not provide any improvements, where do I go from here? What testing do you recommend? (I did the HMTA and Stool Test leading into the CBO). Thank you!!   Samantha: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all that you do! I would love your insight. I'm a 30-year-old woman from New York. I recently had surgery on my right side Bartholin gland. I had an allergic reaction to either the anesthesia or intravenous antibiotics they gave me during the procedure. I'm seeing an allergist in a few weeks to figure that out. I had dermatitis that spread all over my torso, chest, arms, and back; it was pretty severe. A dermatologist prescribed me a ten-day taper protocol of Prednisone (which was really intense!). At the time of writing this, I'm done with the Prednisone and the bumps from the allergic reaction are gone, but I'm still SO itchy and I'm breaking out in hives. The itching feels like it's coming from the inside out if that makes sense. Actually scratching the area doesn't provide relief. I've been diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome and I'm listening to your previous podcasts about it now. I've also been taking allergy medication and eating a low histamine diet. This combination provides very slight relief. I feel hopeless and want to feel like myself again. Thank you for any guidance that you may have. With Gratitude, Samantha   Stefanie: Hi Dr. Cabral, You are truly amazing! I love all that you do and am so appreciated for finding equi.life and these podcasts! You are a blessing I have had hypothyroidism and addison's disease for 5 years. Recently my doctor discovered that I also have Polythemia Vera. In your experience have you seen all of these diseases to be related? I'm trying to find the right direction on how to naturally lower my red blood cell count without having to take blood medication to lower this. Have you worked with patients with polythemia vera? I would love any advice on where to begin healing this blood disorder.   Cassie: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you for all you do for everyone here. It’s appreciate by so many of us! I have this “anxiety rash” is what my doctor labeled it as, but it happens with any heightened emotion, happy or sad and when I’m nervous. It starts on my neck and moves to my chest and when it’s really bad it goes to my arms. Splotches on my face can appear too and my cheeks are always sort of red anyways. Sometimes a trigger is as simple as a customer at work complimenting me, and I feel it happening, which I don’t really understand. Or being excited about something. Not all the time, but sometimes it can feel like a rush of adrenaline. It’s come to the point where I feel uncomfortable in my own skin and I’ve hidden it for years by not wearing shirts or anything that goes below my collar bones or people always ask what’s wrong. I’m getting married this summer and it makes me nervous I’m going to be a red mess because I know I’ll feeling all the emotions that day. Doctors have just thrown anxiety meds at me, and that is not what I’m looking for. I am a very active person, exercise a lot and eat pretty healthy, I have noticed the healthier I eat the better it is but I can’t figure out triggers with food. Any advice is so greatly appreciated! Thank you, Cassie   Marleen: My bloodwork showed high B12 but I don't supplement how is this possible?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2346 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2340: POTS, High Ammonia, Lectins & Gut Health, Continuing Detox, No Eyebrows, Fuzzy Teeth (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Khadijah: Hi! I have a few questions about POTS. Basically, last year my doctor prescribed me four different birth controls within five months since I was getting side effects, and these hormonal changes triggered PCOS. I broke out I. Terrible acne and my hair started falling out s my dermatologist prescribed spirolactone. When I was on this medication I was passing out, had terrible joint pain, and fainting. I was bed ridden for weeks my side effects were so bad. I went off out it realizing it was the medication, but it also caused lasting side effects including reactive hypoglycemia and POTs. I’ve changed my diet from vegan to keto and that’s helped with the hypoglycemia, but my heart is still super irregular and I’ll start sweating, getting incredibly anxious and have a very fast or very low heart rate. Also I just feel so tired and my hands and feet get cold and numb. How do I heal this? I want to exercise and go out without feeling awful, and drink alcohol and coffee without feeling like a may have a heart attack.   Alicja (Ah-leets-yah): Hi Dr. Cabral My question today is about ammonia levels. I run Candida, Metabolic and Vitamins Test and it showed I have a very high levels on Ammonia Excess (Orotic) I believe that also that high ammonia contributes to my bed sleep at night. How can I get rid of that ammonia? I once red that taking L-ornithine helps. What are your thoughts on that? Thank you so much for your answer. I appreciate your help and wish you and wonderful day.   Gregg: Hi Dr. Cabral - love the pod and the help you motivation you provide daily! Question: what are your thoughts on lectins and their effect on gut health? Others in the healthcare space have suggested that foods like beans, bell peppers and tomatoes can contribute to leaky gut due to their lectins creating microscopic tears in the intestinal wall. Are these valid concerns? Is there research to back this up? thanks again! gregg in seattle.   Komal: Hi I did my 21 day detox. Can I keep doing another round or is there a limit   Bridget: My friends 12 year old son was born with no eyebrows. He does have a few hairs that are blonde but you can't really see them unless you look hard. He has brown hair otherwise. Do you know what could cause this? As he gets older, the kids at school get meaner. He does have allergies to peanuts, animals and is a bit overweight. Other than that he seems like a healthy kid. Thanks so much for all of your hard work helping the community.   Summer: Hi doc! I’m over halfway through the CBO protocol now, and I’m noticing a huge increase in plaque and calculus build up on my teeth. Ever since I cleaned up my diet about 5 or 6 years ago, I noticed I would barely build up any plaque and never built up calculus. I couldn’t believe how clean my teeth always felt and always got comments from the my dentist and hygienist. But now all of a sudden after starting this protocol, I always have ‘fuzzy’ teeth and it drives me crazy! I was a dental assistant for 7 years and still work in the dental field. Do you think perhaps this could be a vitamin or mineral imbalance? I’m wondering if I’m getting too much of something. I take 1-2 scoops of DNS daily alongside my other supplements that I’ve always taken. The only supplements that have changed would be adding DNS, switching to EquiLife alkalizing vitamin c, omega 3, and daily thyroid support. I also started taking Hyland’s bio plasma 12 cell salts religiously. I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

2339: Addison’s & Diet, Kids and Supplements, Ectopic Heartbeats, Thyroid Antibodies, Recurring UTI’s & Antibiotics, CBO Protocol & Eating Baked Goods (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Michael: Hi Stephen, hope you are keeping well. I’m an Addison’s disease patient since July 2021 after a long few months trying to get a diagnosis - brain fog, weight loss, anxiety and panic attacks, adrenal crisis and OCD. I’m hearing a lot about different diets for autoimmune diseases and wondering your thoughts on cutting out gluten sugar and dairy to help. Currently taking hydro and fludrocortisone daily. Also in terms of vitamins what should I be taking daily just need some help getting my life back on track. Also I’ve had covid twice which def didn’t help with addisons. Recently came across your podcast on adrenal fatigue and heard you have addisons as well. The thought of being on these heavy meds for life is kind of scary. I had all the symptoms you had and would love your opinion. Thanks Michael   Rachel: Hi there, Just wondering if you could do a podcast on your recommendations for children and supplements. I'd like to find out if it's necessary to provide children with Multivitamins and/or what supplements you suggest they take in conjunction with a balanced diet. Thank you.   Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral. I have a question about my ectopic heartbeats. I've been battling chronic fatigue, stress, and gut issues for a few yrs now after having tragedy after tragedy in my family happen. Anyway I did do the oat test and HTMA as well as food sensitivity test and have a plan going forward to heal and seal my gut. However one very mysterious symptom I've been having ( out of a few actually) is that I get ectopic heartbeats all the time! Not just a few but hundreds a day. I did a heart ultrasound as well as 24 hr heart monitor and they found nearly 2500 pvc and pacs in a 24 hour period. These tend to happen during early morning and in the late afternoon into the evenings. They have gone away for weeks at a time entirely only to return once again for weeks- months. My cardiologist says they are benign and that its just anxiety. Wjat are your thoughts. I don't feel like I'm an anxious person although I do know with my ongoing health challenges and emotional stresses in the past this could have played a role to some degree. My thyroid panel is optimal at 30mg armour thyroid no no more antibodies present. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.   Sarah: Is it possible to completely get rid of thyroid antibodies? Mine has hovered around 300 for years and deciding if damage is done and should just go on thyroid med instead of chasing full reversal! Thankful for people like you putting in the time to help the world!   Courtney: Hello! Your story resonated with me as my 5 year old daughter has been on a daily 6ml antibiotic the last 2 years for recurring UTI’s due to holding and reflux to the kidneys. Doctors believe she will grow out of it. I’m very concerned that the daily nitrofurantoin is ruining her gut flora and what this will mean for her future health. Even with the daily antibiotic she will have a UTI once every 3 months and will be on a full 10 day course of another antibiotic (keflex or Bactrum). She will be starting biofeedback when she is 6 (October). We give her a daily probiotic: Jarrow YumYum dophilius. What more can we do to help her break this cycle, get her off a daily antibiotic and get her gut health back? Thank you so much! Courtney   Rita: Hi! I’ve attempted the CBO protocol twice but can never seem to follow through properly all the way to 12 weeks. The problem is that I own a bakery and am always tasting our products for quality a few times a month, especially when we’re creating new flavors. My bakery business truly brings me and my customers joy and fulfillment, so quitting that is currently not an option. I’ve taken the food sensitivity test and am highly sensitive to gluten, dairy and eggs. I don’t need to have entire servings of our pastries but I’m wondering if this will affect the effectiveness of the CBO protocol during and after the process. I know I desperately need to rebalance my gut but don’t know how to balance this with my livelihood. Please help! Thank you so much.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2339 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

For years now we have known that Glyphosate is harmful to our health, yet it continues to be the largest and most widely used pesticide…    In 2015, Glyphosate was deemed a “probably carcinogen,” yet pushback from major corporations, media marketing tactics, and financial incentives have skewed the perception of this pesticide and enabled its continued use.   Today, I want to share with you some of the research on glyphosate and its link to “probably causing” cancer, as well as give you some tips on how to avoid it in your foods…   Join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2335 where we will be talking about what Glyphosate is, why it’s still being used and how to avoid it – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!   - - -   For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2335 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2334: How to ReDiscover You (MM)

As a child, we have thoughts and ideas about who we want to be and what we want to do in the world…   As we grow older, however, this path begins to diverge as we become more aware of the world around us and seek the approval of others…   So how do we get back to where we are meant to be?   How do we discover who we are and what we really want out of life?   On today’s #CabralConcept 2334 I’d like to share with you some questions to ask yourself that will help open your mind to possibilities and help you rediscover the path that you are meant to be on.

2333: Squinting Eye, Staying True, Deuterium Depletion, Hormonal Acne, Where to Start, Low T3 Syndrome (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral! Hope you are having a great day. The issue I have is a bit weird, but basically whenever I smile my left eye looks like it gets smaller. It looks just like I am squinting with my left eye only. The bigger my smile is the more pronounced the squint becomes. It has been like this for about the last 10 years or so. I didn't even know this was occurring until I saw it in pictures. All my pictures within the last 10 years are like this and it's terrible, because people sometimes think I'm drunk and if my smile is really big then it looks like my eye is completely shut which ruins the pictures. The chiropractor that I was seeing several years ago said that my face was crooked and he was literally adjusting my face, pressing on my face around my nose and orbital area. Is my face being crooked a possibility? I should also say that I have Hashimotos and other imbalances which I am currently working on. Could this be a reason? Thank you so much for doing this and all your help, you are much appreciated!!   Gemma: Hey Dr Cabral, I'm a long time listener of your podcast, I think the work you do is amazing. I think the sooner functional health becomes a mainstream approach the sooner people will be healthier and happier for most of their lives. I'm truly inspired by IHPs and it is my mission to become one. My question is, how can we your listeners help to improve an outsiders view to the integrative health approach? For example another pharmacist, probably relevant that he's my ex, dismissed me as 'adopting homeopathy'. It's a shame that the vast majority of people miss out on this treatment because our NHS doesn't really acknowledge it, yet. Can I be of help? A second avenue of thought; have any researchers approached you so they perform studies on your data (obviously with patient permission and personal information redacted) ? I would love to studies more commonplace so as to get the support needed for IHP to become more mainstream. All the best from our home to yours Gemma   Tiffany: Dr. Cabral, This is the first time I have submitted a question because your podcasts are such a wealth and thorough collection of information. I appreciate your authentic, generous and informed opinions, greatly. However, I have not been able to find any info. on deuterium or deuterium depletion. Is this a real thing or a scam, in your opinion. Thank you kindly!   Lorena: Hi Doc! I'm 25 and I've been having real issues with my skin. I get a lot of spots around my cheek before ovulation and it's weird how much it calms down after ovulation. I ran the OAT & Stress, Sleep & Hormones test. Funnily enough, no candida or bacteria and I thought I had estrogen dominance but no! Pg/E2 Ratio of 204! Testosterone & DHEA was also balanced. The only thing that was off was my cortisol (low throughout the day and high at night). But why is the acne calming down after ovulation if my hormones are fine? So confused right now. Hopefully you can shed some light to see if there is anything that I'm missing.   Christine: Hello - I am really enjoying your podcast! My daughter introduced me to it . My question is - where do I begin?? I don’t have a lot of money or I would order all the supplements , detoxes and the labs—- however money is an issue. So where do I start if I want to get healthy? Thank yo   Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral… I suffer from low T3 syndrome (self diagnosed), often compared to hypothyroidism as it has all the same symptoms, which I have. I have suffered from this for nearly a decade and haven’t been able to get support or confirmed prognosis from any doctor, only that my levels are “mostly” normal, which they are not as I have low T3 levels. I’m at my breaking point and want to feel better in my own skin. I enjoy working out, being active, and I eat healthy, but I’m getting burnt out killing myself with exercise and continuously having to lower my caloric intake with little to no results, or really, just to maintain my weight. What can I do to get my levels normal so I can enjoy life and overall just feel good daily?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2333 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2332: Deuterium Depleted Water, Seasonal Eating, Surgery Recovery, Hernia Surgery, Crohn’s, Stress & Gut Health, Positive ANA (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Ales: Hello Dr.Cabral, I have lot of trust in your discretion, and thus I have two questions I hope you can answer. 1. Lately I have been reading about deuterium depleted water and its benefits on our mitochondria. Is there any valid evidence on deuterium depleted water? 2. Speaking about mitochondria what's your take on eating only local, seasonal food, which logically is the way to go, and all cultures in past always ate this way. My question here is whether eating non-seasonal food affect mitochondrial health due to the energy (electrons) that is stored within all plant foods. Since all organisms react to circadian rhythms and seasonal changes, isn't it confusing and metabolically deranging for our bodies to consume let's say fruits in mid of a winter? If food is information for our mitochondria, then we should really avoid non-seasonal foods altogether. Please help me understand whether the body would prefer (which is very logical to me) to get nutrients & energy only from foods that it expects during cold months (maybe some root crops, but not fruits), while expecting and processing much differently fruits during summer months? Thank you   Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I am having open surgery soon for an inguinal hernia. I know you've recommended a couple of times before to use the Daily Foundational Protocol (minus Omega 3) leading up to and after surgery and the Healthy Gut Support and Clean Gut Probiotic afterwards to improve health and reduce the impacts of antibiotics. If I wanted to 'go the extra mile' to promote wound healing; recover from a general anesthetic; and reduce the impact of antibiotics, is there anything else you would recommend? Would collagen assist with wound healing? How long should I wait before taking anti-inflammatory foods/supplements (knowing that many thin the blood)? Thanks!   Simon: Hi again - another quick question regarding inguinal hernia surgery: my surgeon is adamant that a mesh is the best surgical approach, however I have serious concerns with a plastic mesh being left inside my body to slowly dissolve. Assuming I go ahead with the mesh, what would you suggest as a long-term approach to reducing the toxic load my body takes on from the mesh? (assuming it takes a couple of years to dissolve)? Thanks!   Nicole: Hi Dr Cabral. Im so glad I found you and your wealth of knowledge. I have a question and also need some encouragement. I have been sick with chronic fatigue and major gut issues for 4 yrs when I first became pregnant. I recently met with one of your health coaches and discussed my results for my hair tissue analysis, OATs and food sensitivity test. We decided on a path that was right for me based off the results which include a few supplements and doing the CBO protocol based off of probably sibo and candida . However since that meeting my naturalpath and I have found that I am likely also suffering from crohns. The super sad part is so is my 3 yr old. :( my question is this, is there anything in addition to the cbo and citrocidal drops with the sensitive gut guide I and my 3 yr old should do? I do not have any food sensitivity besides dairy. I also need more encouragement that this crohns can be fully healed/ reversed! Thank you dr Cabral   Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral. I have another question. My ANA recently went positive with no direct corilation to any direct "dis-ease" and I've developed progressively worse eye pain/dryness that drops do not fix. I've also get extremely bloating and painful abdomen everywhere as soon as I lay down to nap or go to bed. I KNOW my gut is a wreck. I eat soooo clean. Everything organic, lots of veggies, and I follow your daily nutritional support and greens each morning in a smoothie. I do intermittent fasting and the only thing I can think of that needs major work is my stress....we r in the middle of a move and its been challenging. I guess my question is what the heck am I missing? Food sensitivities are all negative besides dairy. I also have low thyroid...I've brought down my antibody levels there from 600 to under 15 and lowered my medication! So at least there is one win! Lol any help is greatly appreciated   Mrs. Rosen: what can do about low thyroid? anti bodies against thyroid?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2332 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2326: Redundant Colon, Hormones & Hair Loss, Diabetes & Diet, Bach Flower Remedies, Electrolytes & Anxiety, Active EMF Protection (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Ashley: I have a redundant or tortuous colon, as well as chronic constipation. I’ve done candida cleanses, treated leaky guy, but now also have hormone and thyroid issues. Any suggestions on how to deal with a physical issue?   Rachel: Hi Dr. Cabral- I have listened to all your hair episodes. I have been having hair fall for the last few years and am young and trying to get to the root cause like you say. I have higher estrogen and test (plus DHT). I have normal TSH but my T4 and Free T4 are low. I am wondering if you might be able to review all the correct ranges for thyroid and hormones if you don't mind. I have pieced together most of the elements but would love a holistic review. Would you be so kind to do this? I know I am not alone on this and it is so hard to get to the bottom of it all. Thank you so much for all you do! Rachel   Zoe: Hello, I was wondering if you could do a podcast for health care personel about reversing diabetes with dietary interventions. Maybe in regards to intermittent fasting, correct diet changes. How to avoid hypoglycemia in patients. Specifically I am a pharmacist looking to become a functional medicine pharmacist. I see many diabetic patients I want to try IF with but I do not want to run the risks of hypoglycemia. Thanks so much!! Zoe   Alyssa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to get your thoughts on Bach Flower Remedies. Do you feel they “work”?   Ryan: Hello Dr Cabral! Hope this finds you well. My question is supplementing certain electrolytes and getting panic, anxiety and a general out of body type sensation. Basically what seems to be happening to me is sometimes when I take some sea salt in mountain valley spring water I get these symptoms. This has been happening on and off for two years. I have changed salts but it doesn’t seem to be the salt, it’s me. It has happened the last few days while trying a new salt out. I won’t name the company that makes it but it contains sodium chloride (1000mg), potassium chloride (200mg) and magnesium Malate (60mg). These are pretty good forms to my knowledge. But once again has happened with other products. And sometimes even equi life. It’s usually when I’m drinking something though. What could this be from? I did neurotransmitter testing last year, everything was normal beside very high cortisol. My electrolytes were fairly balanced in a hair tissue test as well.

2325: Inositol & Hypoglycemia, Insecticide Detox, Humic Extract, Inositol Review, Amenorrhea & Bioidentical Estrogen, Low TSH (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Jenna: I just listened to your podcast explaining Inositol for blood sugar balance and improving insulin sensitivity. I don't have PCOS symptoms, but I do believe I am insulin resistant. However, I trend towards bouts of hypoglycemia once I get that blood sugar crash which happens frequently. I wanted to know if Inositol (or even the EquiLife blood gluco support) would be more beneficial or more harmful for someone dealing with hypoglycemia?   Emily: Hi dr Cabral! I lived in a place for a few years that sprayed insecticides frequently indoors. I now worry about what that could do to my health. Any suggestions on detoxing any harmful effects or anything I should test for?   Jenn: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for all you do. I am a huge fan of doing your seven day detox every quarter and have had great results. I was wondering what your thoughts are on Humic extract if you have worked with it and whether or not you find it helpful for gut health. Thank you so much.   Sean: What product for inositol do you recommend?   Stephanie: Hey Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for committing to taking the time to answer our questions. I'm a Vata 26 year old body type and I've had amenorrhea for over 3y since coming off birth control. I'm IHP L2, ran the big 5 labs, did all the protocols over a year ago, progesterone support, all that jaz. My symptoms have dramatically improved and the only issue I'm having is the lack of period. Went to top endocronologists, ran MRI, scans and everything is normal. An an IHP I know all of my hormones are low including estrogen. Took DHEA for 12 weeks as well, progesterone & estrogen support but nothing. It looks like it's an issue with the hypothalamus/pituitary itself whereby my LH is not high enough for me to ovulate thus functional hypothalamic amenorrhea. Eating plenty of calories, and have gained weight since to reach a BMI of 22 but nothing yet. Since I'm not in a rush to get pregnant, the endo recommended to just wait and see what happens but suggested taking a very very small dose of bioidentical estrogen to support bones in the meantime. What are your thoughts? I obviously don't want to take them but I'm concerned about my bones.   Stephanie: Me again! I forgot to mention that my TSH continues to go down which is very weird. I'm fully aware of the root causes as an IHP 2 and it's definitely not heavy metals, fluoride, lack of minerals, etc. It started at 2.3 and now is up to 3.3. Do you think this could due to the hypothalamic amenorrhea?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2325 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2319: Detox Follow-up, Probiotics & Weight Loss, Bloating When Laying Down, Wireless Headphone Dangers, Bile Color, Rusty Water Filter (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Patti: Thank you Dr. Cabral for all you do. My husband started doing the 7 day quarterly detoxes, DNS & Equilife supplements about 9 months. He can feel the inflammation decrease after the detox. He had symptoms of gall bladder issues & had medical tests @ 2 years ago & every thing was fine. When the 3 months is nearing to an end & his next detox is approaching, he gets those symptoms again. Should he do the CBO protocol or a lab? If so, which one. Thank you   Marion: I like to know what is the BEST probiotics brand product to take to lose the most weight.   Mariah: Thank you and your team for everything that you do to make the world a healthier one! Every time I lay down, I get a lot of bloating, very hard distension. Then when I get up, I feel pain on my upper abdomen which takes a few hours to subside again. But these two symptoms happen every time I lay down and get up. Nothing showed up in endoscopy. My Osteopath says I have mild hyper-mobility and she thinks that is a contributing factor to my bloating. Any suggestions?   Leah: Hi Dr Cabral, I try to live an overall healthy lifestyle. I eat, exercise, sleep, meditate etc in the most optimal way that I can. The problem is, I love my wireless headphones which I know isn't great. Especially the number of hours I wear them per day. While I know the radiation is bad, the convenience is so beneficial. Are there any tips that help with minimizing the effects or potential damages? Thanks so much!   Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral! A few weeks ago my daughter and I got a stomach bug. It was a few hours of vomiting and then just no appetite and rest for about 3 days. Some stomach cramping during recovery. However, Im curious about the vomit. After the emptying of food in my stomach, the bile that came out was a browner color. My daughters bile was regular color green/yellow. I know you can't give medical advice, but if you had no other stomach pains, acid reflux or anything, would you be worried about the bile being brown? When I looked this up it said it could be blood, or blocked intestine. The problem is going to even an FMD, would require multiple visits and getting to a GI MD. Im an IHP 2 and I have not been to an FMD in almost 3 years. Just curious what you would do in this situation. Thank you, Dr. Cabral!   Cara: Hi Again! I've owned a popular stainless steel gravity filter for 5 years. However, for the 2nd time Ive noticed rust in the bottom chamber. They say that if it comes off with 50/50 vinegar/water wash, it is just mineral build up. It didn't come off after this process. I noticed that the stainless steel spout had some rust in it too. I'm wondering if this is why I had a metallic taste in my mouth doing my last FM detox. Maybe coincidence. What would you be concerned of if you knew you and your daughters (mine is 6) had been drinking water that was coming in contact with potential rust? Thank you! Trying not to lose my mind with this situation... Also have you finished reviewing another water filtration option?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2319 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2318: Hormonal Acne, Sinus Cleanse, Eosinophilic Esophagitis, Testicular Pain, Burning Tongue, High Oxalates (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Devin: I’m 34 years old, never been on birth control but started it 3 years ago per a dermatologist advising this was the only way to combat cystic hormonal acne. I didn’t want to be on it, but low and behold..it works. I’ve tried weening myself off of it 3 times and the breakouts are unbearable, so I inevitably go back on it. I saw my PCP last month and asked if there was anything else I could try, to which she advised there was not, but that on the bright side “menopause shouldn’t be too far away so [I] won’t have to stay on birth control forever”. I know there’s a root cause here somewhere, I just don’t know where to start. I don’t understand how the hormones in birth control kill the inflammation, and how nothing else will help? I had never had thyroid issues until about a year after I started using it - and now I’m taking active steps to heal my body. So, where can I start with finding the root cause here? And will I be able to find it while I’m taking the hormonal birth control or will I need to stop taking it before doing any testing? Or do I really have to stay on birth control until I hit menopause? Please help!   Erin: Sinus question: my allergist said I have calcification from dried mucus in my sinuses and the only way to get it out is the “roto-rooter” surgery where they put you under and clean all the sinuses out. Seems like there has to be another way to get it out...any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!   Holli: My 15 year old son was diagnosed with EoE eosinophils of the esophagus. We can’t afford lab testing. What do you recommend after the 7 day detox?   Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral, I had a question regarding testicular pain due to pelvic floor dysfunction. I am currently working with a PT to resolve this. The pelvic floor issues have also contributed to chronic constipation and leaky gut. Until my pelvic floor issues are resolved, what do you think I could do to lessen pain? (ice and cold showers on the area tend to work) Thank you! Gary   Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have burning tongue issues that have been greatly lessened by taking B-12. (have tried both methylcobalamin and adenosyl hydroxy with similar results). It is now non-existent most of the time but randomly comes on at points during the day. All spices and even salt aggravate it, so I avoid those. Redmon's REAL salt is the only salt the doesn't both it. I have gut issues I'm working to resolve (chronic constipation, leaky gut, etc), which is probably why I have a B-12 deficiency. Any advise other than B-12 to fix the burning tongue or is simply once the gut is fixed it will be fixed? Thank you!   Pamela: Hi Dr Cabral! I really enjoy your podcast and appreciate all the knowledge you share! My question is about oxalates. My diet is mostly plant based and recent tests have come back showing high oxalates. Is there a protocol that would help to decrease the oxalates?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2318 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

I have an exercise physiology background so I'm fairly well versed in western medicine, but am new to the functional medicine side of life. I'm a 25-year-old PT student that's been lifting consistently for several years and was diagnosed with narcolepsy 3 years ago. According to my sleep study, I average ~40 awakenings per hour (without medication) and get about 3-5 hours of interrupted sleep per night. The medication I take (GHB), pushes that average to about 4-6 hours (with potentially less interruptions). I've run different labs before and all my numbers have come back perfectly healthy. You answered a question on narcolepsy before and I've taken some supplementation but still experience issues.Do you have any other recommendations for compensating for the perpetual sleep deprivation? I feel like there's no way to overcome this hurdle in terms of physical and cognitive performance, and feel like I can only operate at 70% for both at best. Thanks!   Maria: Hi I just want to let you know I'm a big fan. And I'm just loving all the podcast. I was wondering if natural antibiotics like for example oregano also kill the good bacteria in our gut. I read this somewhere and I was wondering if that was the case.   Kelsey: Hi dr Cabral! Do you have any advice for making sure your kids stay healthy at friends and family members houses? My husbands parents will feed them McDonalds. And at sleep overs they eat pizza and drink pop. How do you deal with this? Or do you just make sure they are healthy at home?   Laura: My son is suffering from black and mold exposure. He has bad headaches every day and insomnia. How do I help him get rid of his headaches?   Nicholas: Hi Dr. Cabral I wrote to you last summer about my wife with schizophrenia and how SBI protects seemed to help with her psychosis. Well since then I have become an IHP level 2 and have recently retook the HTMA. On the original HTMA we did about a year ago my wife showed up very low on chromium, iron, and Manganese. Well on the most recent HTMA her chromium levels tripled to being really high, her iron levels doubled to being elevated, and her manganese levels came way up. We have been doing coffee enemas and infrared saunas along with alot of your detoxification protocols the past year. I know Dr Lawrence Wilson talks alot about these levels rising on a development program and I am assuming this is a good sign that the toxic forms of these minerals are coming out of the body. For example I know that there is hexane chromium 3 which is toxic and then there is chromium 6 which is the essential form. From what I have read toxic forms of chromium, manganese, and iron all can contribute to schizophrenia. Do you have any experience with this? Is this indeed a good sign these toxins are finally leaving the body? BTW we drink filtered water from the Berkey so I know the water isn't contributing to the high levels as we have both taken this test twice the past year without these elevations   Moxie: 1st, thank you for all that you do for this community. About 5 years ago I developed asthma, I went to a pulmonologist who put me on steroid inhaler & a rescue inhaler. When I asked how to fix this so I don’t have to depend on my inhalers he told me some people just develop asthma later in life and that I would likely use these forever. I’m gonna go out onto a limb and say you and I both agree, there is more to the story than that. After doing the big 5, I found a handful of foods that I should be reducing, which I have. I have been amazed at my bodies response to the reduction and elimination of some foods. I no longer have chronic sinusitis or a constant allergy like nose drip, I feel better, and have tons more energy, I’ve even seen a reduction is some of my psoriasis. I’ve added in some vitamins and minerals from EquiLife as well as the DNS daily. Other than my asthma, I feel worlds better. My asthma bothers me most at night or in the early morning, sometimes when I laugh hard, or when I’m exercising. It’s been a little worse lately, I know my Dr will just increase my dosage, so I haven’t gone to see him. I am just starting a Limited Yeast Protocol to help reset my gut health. My question is, what else can I do to try to reduce my asthma… or was my pulmonologist right?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2312 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2311: Ketoacidosis, Filtered vs. Spring Water, COPD, New Clients, Hypnic Jerk, Children’s Health (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Patti: Is ketoacidosis something people should worry about when doing keto diets? I'm not a proponent of keto diets and know the dangers of consuming so much fat and little carbohydrates but I was wondering if the acidity that builds up from ketones is also another reason as to why keto diets are so detrimental?   Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I know you've spoken about both filtered and spring water many times on your podcast. I'm debating: Berkee filter or Local Spring Water Delivery. What should be considered when debating, and would one be more beneficial than the other? A friend who does spring water said that filtered water takes out the electrolytes, do you have any insight on this?   Susan: I was just diagnosed with mild COPD and given Spiriva for maintenance. What can I do naturally to stop the progression of the disease and help with my lung capacity? Thank you so much   Betsy: Hello, Is Dr. Cabral taking new clients himself? I'm very interested in booking an appointment with him directly. Best, Betsy   Lauren: Hello Dr. C! Thank you for all that you do. I was on birth control pill for 15 or so years, finally got off to try for a family. I had 56 day cycles for months. About 3-4 months post pill I developed insomnia along with other issues such as acne, weight gain. I took your Hormones Accelerator and focused on reducing resistance training, did your FM detox, decreased high estrogen foods and have got my cycle back down to 36 days. My sleep was *really* bad for 2-3 months. It is getting better, but I keep having this weird twitch when I fall asleep. I looked it up and it possibly called a Hypnic Jerk. They get so bad that they will completely wake me up. They are reduced when I leave the bed and sleep on the couch. I have become at peace knowing that I will survive another day if I don't get great sleep. There are stressors in my life right now and I am working on techniques to de-stress. For a while I thought it was related to weight training (even in the AM) but that theory is inconsistent with the jerking episodes. I am wondering your thoughts on what could be causing this hypnic jerk. Thank you for all that you do. PS currently doing heavy metal detox.   Maria: Thank you for all you do. I have several questions regarding my children. I don't like giving pain medicine but sometimes it's needed. Can you recommend a pain medicine. Also my daughter has underarm body odor and has had it since she was 2. Can there be a root cause for this? Last question my daughter's are 6 & 7 and are constantly sick with a cold a cough a stomach flu. It feels like it's always something. Should I be concerned? Or is this just part of building their immune system.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2311 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2305: Parapsoriasis, Alcohol Tolerance, Essential Thrombocythemia, Coughing After Eating, Baking Soda Benefits, Cortisone Shots (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jessica: Hi! I'm a 31 yo female. Overall healthy. I developed a rash when I was about 19 that has been biopsied multiple times. Initial few showed generalized inflammation but nothing specific. The most recent was concerning for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The physician I saw still decided to label it "parapsoriasis," because "he didn't want to put lymphoma in my chart." Labs have always normal and show no blood involvement. Treatment options are topical steroids (which keep it at bay but have never cleared it completely) and light therapy (which I never had time to commit to 3x per week with work, so I try to get sunlight on my trunk as often as possible). There's not much data I can find from a FM perspective - maybe some data to show clustering of cases which could indicate an environmental trigger. Any suggestions on what the root cause of this could be and options for FM treatments?   Douglas: Hi there! Love all the knowledge you share and I have learned so much from the labs and your podcasts. Thank you for the noble mission you are on. Your life’s work is truly inspiring. For the last eight months I have been taking your DNS and Crisp Apple Green supplements. Both are outstanding. So I have a brain injury, 6-7 concussion in my life, low elastase with my pancreas, am 6’5” and 230 pounds. Based on the labs, Ive done a mold detox and cleanse protocol and am feeling like I have more energy. Currently am doing the Healing Gut protocol. For the longest time (20 years) I have been a light weight when drinking any kind of alcohol. I drink maybe a glass of wine or cocktail once a month at most. I instantly feel sleepy when I have a glass. I cant even drink a whole glass sometime as i have the sensation its after midnight and I should be asleep. I do not intend to want to drink more should I fix this, I just want to know in case there is something unhealthy with my body such as missing a key enzyme. What are your thoughts? Thanks! Douglas   Angie: Hello Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all you do, you are truly inspiring! I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism after the birth of my son (the same day I gave birth). I had a miscarriage 3 1/2 years later and was diagnosed with essential thrombocythemia. It's an uncommon disorder with no cure according to my hematologist. I do not have the JAK2 gene mutation but I do have a “less severe” gene mutation that somehow became activated. I did not always have these disorders and was curious if you could make any recommendations on how I can bring my body back into balance for these conditions. I’ve been seeing a naturopath since I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I recently asked her about leaky gut and if there were tests we could run but she wasn’t interested in running tests (told me to do a low fodmap diet instead). I’m meeting with a Functional doctor next week and hopefully she will be more open to running tests. In the past I had a food sensitivity test and I’m sensitive to a huge list of foods (top foods are wheat and eggs). I had a hormone test a few years back as well and my progesterone is low and my testosterone is barely registering. Lately I’ve been very bloated and gassy even when following the low fodmap food list. Thanks so much!! Angie   Thomas: Hey Dr Cabral! I’ve been listening to your podcasts for about 4 years and share as much of this knowledge as I can remember with others. My wife in particular has experienced more balanced hormones and a better sense of awareness all from your teachings. You are the a saviour and we can’t thank you enough. One mystery that I can’t seem to pinpoint is her coughing after eating (any meal, spicy, sweet, or salty). Even if it’s just cooked vegetables with no oil and very light seasoning. Could eating really cause coughing or do you think it’s just a very broad food allergy?   Justin: I’ve been taking 1 teaspoon of baking soda mixed in 4 to 5 ounces of water almost nightly for the past year. I had heard it keeps you from having to get up frequently to urinate, which has been an issue for me. I also heard that it was good for your kidneys. Sometimes it seems like it helped with frequent urination, and other times not. However I recently heard that frequent consumption of baking soda can neutralize stomach acids, causing a host of problems. What are the benefits of baking soda, and what would be the best dosage for the average person?   Patti: Thank you for significantly helping both myself & my son to live a better life & your team for being so responsive, & helpful. I just listened to the podcast where you answered a question on a hip replacement. What are your thoughts on cortizone shots for pain? Also, antibiotics are recommended for dental work after a joint replacement. What are alternatives?

2304: Deep Sleep, Infrared vs. Dry Sauna, Night Waking, Onion Smell, Elevated DHEA, Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Nicole: Hi Dr. C! I have an Oura ring and get quite a lot of deep sleep, far above the average. Most nights I get over 3 hours of deep and it averages about 40% + of my sleep. I get normal amounts of rem, but was curious why I would get so much deep sleep. I am active and go to sleep around 9:30 most nights. Is there any negative reasons as to why my body would need so much deep sleep, or is it just more of a good thing? Thank you!!   Alicja: Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast and your wisdom, my question is about sauna. If you could have sauna in your house, would you choose infrared sauna or regular dry sauna? I'm asking because I just bought a house and will make some changes to it. I want to add a sauna and I'm not sure if IFR sauna would be better than regular dry sauna. Thanks in advance for your answer.   Tina: It’s 4 AM and I’m wide awake! I went to bed around 9:30 PM and between then and now I literally woke up about 8 different times. I 53 years old and I did the big five labs plus the gut and parasite test. My hormones are low, I did the 14 day functional detox, a liver and gallbladder flush, and currently I am five weeks into the CBO protocol. I’m also six weeks into the protocol that my IHP level two gave me to follow. I’m doing adrenal soothe, adrenal energy, DHEA, The deep sleep protocol, magnesium, etc., I’m following my protocols and I’m having very little to no relief. I did two different parasite cleanses. I did the mold test and I have zero mold in my body. I don’t know what’s going on with me. I just need to sleep! I am unplugging two hours before sleep. I’m doing deep breathing and meditation almost daily. I’m doing theta healing with a health practitioner to calm my sympathetic nervous system because my cortisol levels are all messed up. My cortisol is at its high right before I go to sleep at night and in the morning it’s very low.I’m lost at this point and I don’t know what to do. Of course I will keep going with my protocols and after 12 weeks I’m supposed to test my hormones again to see where my levels are. I just don’t understand why I wake up at least 10 times a night.   Amy: After having C VIRUS 8 months ago, I noticed my underarm odor got a very strong "onion" smell. Previously, I had very light, to no, body odor. I haven't changed anything in my diet (I don't eat a ton of onions or garlic) or supplements. What could be causing this? I'm a healthy, 38 yr old female. Thanks!   Jo: Hello Dr. Cabral, My 12 year old daughter recently had blood test done and showed her DHEA elevated. It was 200 above their normal range and her prolactin was 2 above average range. She also has a noticeable mustache and hair on the upper and lower parts of her back (thin but noticeable). She started her cycle at 9 and still has irregular cycles. Curious as to what you would recommend for this. Can not get into an endocrinologist until July. Thank you.   Briana: Hi Dr. Cabral! I searched the podcast archive for fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and found no results on the topic. Very interested to hear your thoughts/opinion on the procedure. Specifically in regards to how it may (or may not) benefit individuals with autism spectrum disorder. Thank you!!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2304 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2298: Night Shift Eating, Gene Mutations, Daylight Savings vs. Biology, Athlete Extra Needs, Nocturnal Convulsions, Cow’s Milk for Kids (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Stephanie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am a night shift nurse and I am having a tough time with timing my meals/food during the nights i’m working. I am trying be as healthy as I can working night shift (7p-7a). I know the number one best thing for me to do for my health would be to switch to day shift but unfortunately with the staffing shortage at the hospital I am unable to switch as of now and need to stay on nights. I work 3 nights of 12hr shifts a week. Would you be able to recommend the best meal timing for the nights i’m working? I have listened to your podcasts about meal timing for a normal sleep cycle with being awake during the day which I follow on my days off! :) Thank you so much! -Stephanie, a fellow New Englander   Anita: Thank you for your podcasts and all you do to promote health and wellness. I appreciate you. I am not able to tolerate any of supplements or even the detox protocol. I do ok for one or two days and then I am terribly sick and cannot even tolerate hardly any foods. I have CYP2C19-2 copies of variant. Overall functional effect- no enzyme function (drugs less effective, increased chance side effects, and unable to clear from liver- blood thinners, PPIs, anti fungals, anti seizure drugs, SSRI'S, and TCAs. I also have SLCO1B1- one copy. Predicted decreased function. Overall functional effect- Decreased protein function. One copy of Hemochromatosis HFE variant also, may not increase risk. My question is: is there an enzyme I can take something I can do to reverse the effects of these genes? Thank you so much!   Erica: How does daylight savings time affect our biological processes and rhythms?   Erica: Would you ever consider doing an episode that sums up all the recommendations that you would make specifically for professional athletes and how this differs from the average client? For example, through trial and error I feel that my body tends to need more vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium; I've also found ashwaganda to help, as well as higher protein, and I also tend to feel best after around 9 hours of sleep even though my genotype is kapha-pitta (for reference, I'm a professional boxer so there's around 2.5-3 hours of training and about another 1 of walking every day, so it's high demand). I'm a newbie to the podcast but I wanted to thank you because it's already become a constant part of my routine to listen to every morning, which is really comforting and helpful so I really appreciate you putting all the time and effort into doing these episodes and connecting with your audience. Also, I was wondering if you've heard of the hypnotherapist Marisa Peer? You give so many great recommendations, and after listening to a few of your Motivation Monday podcasts (which are some of my favorite), I thought her YouTube videos on mindset and taking control of inner narrative might be something you (or other members of the audience) might enjoy so I wanted to pay it forward :)   Terry: My wife thinks I have nocturnal convulsions. She said I have the symptoms as described by Dr. Google. I searched to see if you have ever discussed nocturnal convulsions on your podcast and did find any hits. If that is what I have, what can be done? I have run the big 5 labs and I have a good idea of my mineral deficiencies that I am working on improving. The symptoms seems to have gotten worse since I have been walking 10,000+ steps per day.   Jamie: Thank you again for everything that you do and your help to help us all be a little better every day. Really appreciate you and your team. We have a bit of a quandary at home as we have a toddler aged just over 2.5 years and a new baby around 16 weeks old. Whilst my wife and i do not have any dairy in the house (i've largely fixed my gut and know i have a sensitivity and she is very much on baord and will do big 5 later this year). EVery medical practicioner is pushing dairy, her nursery has dairy every day. She is exposed to some and we are ok with it as we control what we can at home but there is a worry about her receiving enough calcium for her growth. What specifically would you suggest food / drink wise if you were to cut dairy completely to ensure your kids had enough calcium when growing? Also as an extra add on question does this change as they get older...?thank you again   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2298 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2297: HSV2, Muscle Knots, Water Softener, Low WBC, High Calcium, Smell Like Foods (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral! I do the Daily Foundational Protocol Level 2 & immunity protocol. I do have the HSVII. However, I had the C-virus in January. I was sick for half a day, major head pain and then tired but mostly recovered by the next day. 1 week after I lost taste/smell for 5 days. A week after that, I started getting a herpes like rash on one of my fingers. It took a few days to heal. A week later, it resurfaced. I kept an infrared light on it consistently and it healed in a couple days. A week later, it resurfaced. What do I do? I have heard that HSV2 can hide behind heavy metals/Parasite, but I've done the HM & Parasite protocols. Help me out :) Thank you so much!   Erin: Muscle knots...i always seem to have them in my lower neck/shoulder area, especially on my right side. Weight workouts make them even worse. What’s the reason for this and what can I do to correct this? Thanks so very much.   Ernestine: Hello, Is there a home water softener system that you recommend?   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, i have written in before for low wbc.. a quick summary.. i am an anxious perso & an over thinker. A very hard trait to disconnect from for me but i am working on it. I take adrenal soothe, magnesium in the morning, vit d vit c , DNS shake.. in suggestion to my question before you had question i had asked about my low wbc you suggested it could be oxidative stress, which made total sense to me & still does.. but I just recently had some blood work done, the dr was helping me try to dig a little deeper as to why this might be happening as its always on my mind. It turns out i tested positive or its showing up in my bloodwork for EBV &cytomegalovirus. Honestly im shocked & pretty disheartened. I had my cbc drawn and it had actually went up a little & i thought maybe i was doing something right & the same draw as the virus results it had gone significantly down. Im quite frankly scared this is going to lead me down a sad path and i dont know my next move. My cortisol was also high & she said im in adrenal burnout. I listened to a previous podcast of yours (episode 760) i guess I'm wondering if there is anything else i can do or whats your best suggestion for me. Really just feeling kind of helpless. Appreciate any direction from the bottom of my heart, thank you.   Steven: Hi! If calcium levels are high in the blood, would you assume that they would appear higher than magnesium in a hair tissue test? And if they're low in the blood, would they appear lower than magnesium? Or is the calcium tested in the hair tissue test different to the one in serum?   Susan: Hi- I’m a psychotherapist who works with many women with chronic gastrointestinal issues due to severe eating disorders and long-term restrictive behaviors around food. When trying to introduce fish for instance- they wake up smelling like fish and it seems to seep from their pores. Other “re feeding” and re introducing “fear foods” leads to chronic bloating, pain, gas, constipation and diarrhea. Due to the behavioral triggering aspect, these clients cannot do any kind of fasting or elimination protocol. And supplements can increase symptoms. Most gastro and even ED dietitians and naturopaths don’t seem to have any lasting answers for healing. I really feel for these clients and want to be able to offer suggestions that might actually help. They are often so frustrated and hopeless- and the symptoms can lead to isolation which leaves them at risk for relapse. Any info and help you have would be much appreciated!

2291: Rebalance Hormones, Pancreatitis, Vitiligo, Sandbox Safety, Root Cause Help, Bloating & Enemas (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Nina: Hello Dr. Cabral, first I’d just like to thank you for everything that you do and share with this community. You have helped so many people with your knowledge and passion to help others. I’m a 36 year old female, and I have recently recovered from Candida overgrowth, blastocystis, vitamin/mineral deficiencies, a few other gut issues. I recently took a saliva based hormone test and has very low levels of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. My DHEAS were on the very low end of normal and my cortisol levels were in the normal range. Could this be a case of my body still recovering/catching up? What do you recommend to rebalance my hormones? Thank you again for all that you do!   Lori: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am currently enrolled in your IHP 2 program (just certified in Level 1) - I recently was discussing one of your podcasts with a ND re: Covid & the gut, & she mentioned she is seeing alot of Pancreatitis in patients after Covid also. Wondering if this is something you have encountered, & if you can speak on this topic in one of your podcasts. Please advise ~ Sincerely, Lori    Kathrin: Dear Dr.Cabral I have Vitilligo and there is no cure . It really depress me . Do you have any suggestions .I try to be Gluten , no Dairy ,Eggs and low carb low fat . But nothing help .Only direct Sun exposure in the Summer. I feel helpless. Thanks for your time   Jillian: Hi Dr. Cabral, This may seem random but, I’m wondering if you have any knowledge on sandbox health safety for children. I’ve been debating on getting one for my toddler and have heard some people mention they can be unsanitary and harbor parasites. We would keep it covered when not in use. Also I’ve heard some people use diatomaceous earth but have also heard it could be harmful? What are your thoughts?   Barbie: Hello. I am in desperate need for Dr. Cabral to help me! He seems so knowledgeable and so nice. I have spent thousands of dollars on trying to get better and figure out what the “cause” is to my health issues and NOBODY, not even the naturopaths I have seen can find it. My prayer to God is to PLEASE, can I somehow talk to Dr. Cabral? Can he PLEASE help me?   Summer: Hey Doc! I have gut disbiosis, possibly SIBO, and leaky gut, have gotten rid of HPylori, and now mid CBO protocol. I have been doing coffee enemas on and off for a few years with a clean organic coffee. Larry I try to do a round once a week for the extra liver support. I always feel great after, but more often than not, a few hours to half a day later, I’ll experience terrible bloating. It feels like a huge gas bubble or something that won’t move. I usually end up doing another enema to move it through. I usually do two rounds of about 6-8 cups distilled water then about 4 cups of coffee. I started using less water thinking I was just using too much and not being able to move it all back out, but it’s still causing problems most times. Any idea what might be causing the bloating and discomfort?

2290: Slow Bowel Movements, Mold Toxicity, Natural Thyroid Rebalancing, Chronic Dizziness, Longevity Supplements (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Maria: Hi and thank you so much for everything you do and all your time. My question is this. Back in October of 2020 I had my gallbladder removed. Prior to having my gallbladder removed I had amazing bowel movements sorry for the tmi. I also never had a uti. I'm 46 by the way. After I had my gallbladder removed I started to experience that my bowel movements were starting to slow down. Then I had my first UTI in December of 2020. Then I started to develop adult acne little white pimples all over my face my neck my scalp even my ears. Then my bowel movement started to slow down even more. And I got another UTI in April of 2021. My bowel movements continue to slow down. I try to eat ery healthy I eat healthier than most people. And am very intentional with my health. And I try to do all the right things and take all the right supplements. But I am consistently seeing that my constipation has gotten worse. And my acne has gotten worse. And I have gotten another UTI recently in the month of february. Most recently I also noticed that I get full faster and I fell like I'm so stuffed I also have more gas and burping. What would you recommend.   Rebekah: Hello Dr. Cabral. I am 39 years old and over the past year I have been having a cluster of symptoms. GERD, headache, vertigo, off balance, fatigue, muscle spasms, numbness and tingling in my hands, feet, tongue, lips. I had an MRI that showed non-specific white matter changes and was referred to a neurologist. An EMG was done but I have not gotten results. I am not a fan of the neurologist I was referred to and am looking for a more holistic approach to my symptoms. I suspected I was having mold toxicity. We have moved out of our home and into a brand new house but my symptoms have not gone away. I changed my diet by eliminating dairy, gluten and going organic.I did have vitamin b12 checked and it was normal. I am currently on your CBO protocol. Any advice on things I should be testing for or foods to eliminate? This is very frustrating and I wish I could feel normal again and get to the bottom of this. I am so glad I found your podcast and thank you for all that you do.   Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, First I quickly want to say that I love your podcast and wish I discovered it sooner. Trying to catch up with all older episodes since I learn so much from you. Thank you for all you do. My question is about thyroid. I recently found out I have hypothyroidism and Hashimoto. I'm against taking hormones. How can I rebalance my thyroid naturally? I have a naturopathic doctor who mentioned to me LDN (low dose naltrexone) that for some people can reverse autoimmune conditions. Any thoughts on LDN? Is it worth trying or would you recommend other, more natural approach? (I'm also dealing with GI issues I'm addressing and I read that LDN may also be helpful to my gut issues)   Gordon: Hello Dr Cabral, my issue is what seems to be a chronic problem with lightheadedness/dizziness. Has been going on for a year plus, happens every day now, sometimes several times a day. I’ve had MRI’s, thorough eye exams (thought to be related to ocular migraines) and ear exams - all testing returned within “normal” limits. I am in my early 70’s, take no medications, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy diet. Typically have a low heart rate and low blood pressure. Any ideas as to cause, next steps? Any help is appreciated. Thanks for all you do!   Adam: Dr. Cabral, Many thanks for all that you do. You have truly been a blessing! My questions are related to anti-aging and Equilife's new Longevity Line, which I am very excited about! What is your current anti-aging supplement protocol? Do you take cell boost and inflamma soothe? If so what dosage? Are there any other anti-aging supplements that you use outside of equilife? On episode 1507 you mention that you have been taking nicotinamide riboside (NR) for three years but it was not included in cell boost. Instead nicotinamide mononucleutide (NMN) was included. Do you prefer NMN over NR? Longtime client, Adam   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2290 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family)

2284: Virus & Heart Rate, Naturally Detox Metals, Inhaled Herbs, Stubborn Metabolism, Chronic Runny Nose, Stomach Gurgling (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jennifer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I got "the virus" in March 2021 and again in January 2022. I am a healthy 44 woman. For some reason each time the virus affected my heart rate. It gives me the feeling like my heart is beating very fast and makes me feel anxious or gives me a feeling like I drank too much coffee (when I only drink 1 cup a day). Last year I had my heart checked and everything was normal. It went away after I received the v last year but I really don't want to get a b shot this year. Any other ways to stop my heart from beating so fast? My vitamin A and C levels are low, B levels are high. Blood pressure is sometimes low but usually around 100 over 70. Thank you for your help. I love listening to your podcasts.   Allen: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have done the HTMA lab in the past. I did have some aluminum levels and vitamin deficiencies  in my hair samples. I have since taken supplements to fix those vitamin deficiencies.  I recognize now that I should have done a heavy metals detox right away, however I was in the middle of trying to conceive and did not wish to interrupt that and I know it's not safe to do while trying to conceive. So I never completed a heavy metals detox. I eat a balanced diet, I'm a healthy weight,  I complete a few liver detoxes each year, I workout 4-5 days a week with a mix of sauna, weights, and cardio, I use the sauna sometimes as well. I was wondering, aren't I naturally detoxing heavy metals and other toxins from my body very regularly while sweating and eating foods that support the natural detox process? I know that the supplements in the heavy metal detox assist with the detoxification process, but I'm wondering how much I am naturally able to detox on my own simply by living a healthy lifestyle. I know the research supports that the supplements that come with the heavy metal detox work. Are there other ways to remove heavy metal toxins? Thank you for answering my questions!   Kelly: Hello Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for your podcast and book. You are a true blessing to people like myself seeking optimum wellness and disease prevention! I am a relatively healthy 35 year old female with a have a strange question- My husband and I had Cin October. Prior to our infection with C, I had suffered for about three years with unexplained shortness of breath. I tried endlessly to get to the bottom of what was causing this sudden onset shortness of breath. I did diaphragm exercises, I took iron supplements, I increase my aerobic exercise, I tried adaptogens and stress relieving herbs like lavender, I did counseling and meditation… The shortness of breath came out of the blue in my early 30s and magically disappeared when I fully recovered from C (which took about two week). The only explanation I have is that while I had C I would inhale steam with essential oils like Teatree oil and grapefruit seed extract and another germ fighting blend. I’m curious about your thoughts on whether my long term shortness of breath could have been attributed to some bacteria or fungus in my lungs that was inadvertently wiped out as I treated my C symptoms with gentle steam inhalation with essential oils. I am baffled at how this chronic condition could vanish!   Oren: Hi, I'm a 20 years old female. I can't remember a time in my life when I wasn't chubby. I'm not immensely overweight, I weigh about 70kg at 1.71m. I've done strict keto for months, combined with omad/intermittent fasting a few times a week, and I also train BJJ 4 times a week. Now starting carnivore. I eat about 1300-1700 calories a day, depending on my hunger. My body won't respond to any of that except for helping with bloating. Measurements and compositions stayed the same for a year of trying these things and I don't really know what to do anymore. I took the body ype quite, and my answers were almost dispersed equally between the different body types, with a small favor for the Vatta and Pitta types, except for the fact that I gain weight easily and can't seem to lose it from my thighs and belly no matter what I do. I'm kinda desperate so I'd love some help, thank you :)   Anonymous: Hi dr. Cabral! Hope you are doing well and hope you can help point me in the direction TO get well :)! I experience chronic runny nose upon waking in the morning or after laying down for a long period of time. It stops running a couple hours after being awake and sometimes comes back in the evening. I also have extreme sugar (mainly chocolate) cravings, nocturia, mood swings, acne (mainly around jaw/chin) and foul gas (no bloating). My candida metabolic vitamins test showed no microbial overgrowth, below the mean for all neurotransmitter metabolites and slightly elevated orotic acid. If I have no bacterial overgrowth where is the gas coming from? And why won't my nose stop running (lol)! Do I need to run additional FM labs to figure this out? Thank you in advance for all your advice & recommendations!!!   Summer: Hey Doc! On day 14 of a 21 day detox and day 14 of CBO as well. 32 year old female hypothyroidism and gut disbiosis confirmed with testing.I have actually lost some stubborn lbs that I haven’t been able to budge in years so grateful for that! I’m concerned that it’s because I’m starving… been eating clean for 5-6 years. I can’t tolerate any of the plant proteins so have had to add salmon and a little wild game into my lunches. I used to survive on mainly fats especially nuts and eggs. I’m really struggling to get over 1,000 calories and hit my macros. Really missing my hearty breakfast. Worried about causing further damage to my thyroid and adrenals. I seem to now be intolerant of my normal exercise as well. Exercise in the morning is out of the question. My stomach is ALWAYS gurgling (not hunger pains) just noisy. Terrible gas and bloating for the last 9 days. I think that may be due to all the extra veggies I’ve added. I cook everything to help digestion, I use Canadian bitters before meals, chewing everything to a liquid, gut massage, and ginger and peppermint teas. Is my digestion actually getting worse? Should I just power through?That’s what I’m doing, but would like to hear your thoughts even if it’s 7 weeks out! Support group had some suggestions but not satisfactory. thx!

2283: Burning Mouth Syndrome, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver, Sebaceous Filaments, Antibiotic Story, CBD & Pregnancy , Fasting & Belly Fat (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Shirleyta: I have suffered for BMS for 1.5 years.. what should I do, Doctor? What kind of specific Doctor do I need . Thank you for your kind attention.   Fiona: Scans show fatty liver but I don't consume any alcohol, my diet is organic and plant-based with no processed foods. How is this possible?   Anonymous: Hi there! Firstly, thank you for all the knowledge and wisdom you share! I have been working on healing my gut for about 3 months now. I have noticed some changes like more energy, less cravings, better sleep. However, I am still really struggling with my skin. My skin periodically gets this sort of rash that looks like sebaceous filaments and water retention. I know sebaceous filaments are natural but they are not always this prominent. Are there foods that cause this? Also, I have noticed that i have a sensitivity to lectins and a lot of the protein sources on the Dr. Cabral detox are a bit high in lectins(beans, legumes, chia seeds). I listened to your podcast on eliminating them for a while if one is sensitive and then reintroducing them later on. How can I modify the detox so that I still get enough protein while also avoiding lectins? Thank you so much in advance!   Moriah: I was just listening to your podcast and you said something word for word what I said to myself a year ago… “I won’t take antibiotics unless I’m dying” Last year, antibiotics caused me to catch a c diff infection and I’ve never been so sick, the antibiotics they gave me to cure the c diff, didn’t even work and I got a second infection, I literally felt like I could have died. A local naturopath finally helped me heal my gut and repair my issues. Just wanted to say thank you for speaking out about the danger of unnecessary use of antibiotics   Lisa: Is it ok to use cbd oil while pregnant? I have been using cbd oil for 2-3 years to help me sleep at night and I can’t sleep well without it. Thoughts on taking it during pregnancy ?   Anonymous: Hi. I have been listening to your podcast for a while and it has really been helping a lot with my health issues. In numerous podcast episodes, you have mentioned that keto and long intermittent fasting isn't good for female hormones. I have extreme insulin resistance and I have had it for years. I have tried keto with vegetables for about 3 weeks now along with intermittent fasting of 16 hours in order to try to reduce my insulin resistance, hair loss at temples, and skin rash. However, i seem to be gaining more weight around the belly even though I have not been consuming any carbs other than low glycemic vegetables. What could be causing this? I thought that belly fat especially love handles were caused by high insulin? Also, what method would you suggest for healing extreme insulin resistance for a female?

2277: Prostate Cancer, Occipital Neuralgia, Low HDL, Healing EBV, Coffee Enemas & Caffeine, Exercise as Stressor (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Afaf: Greetings, Could you kindly answer an inquiry for my dad who was diagnosed with a prostate cancer? He is 78 years old, 5’10 and weighs 150 lbs. The conclusion of the biopsy shows: - Right prostatic biopsy: adenocarcinoma prostatic grade 4 of ISUP, Score of Gleason at 8 (4+4), infiltrating 80% of the examined sample - Left prostatic biopsy: foyer of 2mm of an adenocarcinoma prostatic grade 4 of ISUP, Score of Gleason at 8 (4+4) The test results from the CT scan showed no other organ is damaged along with his bones. His doctor advised to start radio therapy and hormone-therapy. My inquiry is related to the Prostate Support supplementation as I would like to know if it is compatible with the treatment he is about to start. Can he take the supplements while he is ongoing treatment? Otherwise, should these supplements be taken prior to the start of treatment or after? When and what is the best timeframe to take these? Many thanks for your precious advice. Siomara: Hi Dr. Cabral I am a 47 year old female. I’ve had sleeping issues for years now. I use to take the generic brand of ambien and that didn’t make my sleeping issue any better. Every night when I put my head on my pillow the back of my head and neck hurts to the point where I can’t sleep. My head feels restless, if that even makes sense. I saw a neurologist and she said I have occipital neuralgia and she poked me with a needle to block the nerve on the back of my head, It didn’t work for me. I also went to a pain management doctor and he told me it was stress and prescribed noretriptilyne to relax me at night, that didn’t work either. I stopped taking every medication given to me for this problem and I just bare the pain. I’ve also purchased every pillow imaginable for the head and neck and nothing seems to work. I’ve changed my lifestyle by eating healthy for the past two years. I am gluten free and eat clean. I’ve eliminated processed foods and sugar from my diet. I was thinking of going to a chiropractor. Please let me know what you think. I am always so tired because I do not get any sleep. Thanks in advance for your help! Amy: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all that you do. My husband has had consistently low HDL levels (often in the low 30 mg/dl) despite being of normal weight and without other known risk factors. His father (deceased from a heart attack) and his sister have also both had consistently low HDL (although both were/are overweight). The doctor would advise him to exercise more, which is ironic since my husband runs quite a bit. Having said that my questions are : In an otherwise healthy individual is low HDL something to be concerned about? If it is something of concern, other than increasing exercise might there be some natural ways of raising HDL levels despite a possible genetic connection? Thank you for all you do.  Summer: Hi doc! Question regarding EBV. I’m 32 & had mono around age 15. My health tanked after that until about 5 years ago. My white blood cell count, absolute neutrophils, & absolute monocytes are all low. EBV early antigen D AB (IGG) is 29.4 u/mL, EBV viral capsid AG (VCA) AB (IGG) is 297 U/mL, & EBV nuclear AG (EBNA) AB (IGG) is 191 U/mL. I’m told all the EBV levels are high & that these labs point to chronic active EBV. I’ve been working diligently for at least 5 years on my health. I’ve overcome PCOS, PMD, endometriosis, H Pylori, depression, arthritis, migraines, exercise intolerance, regained energy & drive, but still having gut & thyroid issues. I’ve been overdosed on Bioidentical T3 for a number of years & have recently weaned off & my thyroid has improved dramatically. By the time you answer this I’ll be about half done with the CBO protocol. I guess I’m wondering how do I know that the EBV is causing my residual health issues? Should I have addressed the EBV first instead of the gut? I’ve already been doing most of the things listed in ep. 760 so curious why my levels would still show a problem with EBV. I’ve worked so hard & feel like I just can’t quite get all the way there. I’m struggling with the right order to attack these remaining problems. Thanks so much! Chelsea: Hi Dr. Cabral - question about coffee enemas. Does caffeine get absorbed into the bloodstream when doing a coffee enema? Or can they be done later in the day without caffeine affecting sleep? Isabella: Where does exercise fit in when you’re under extreme mental & emotional stress and not getting enough sleep (4-6 hrs) and still have to manage a household with kids and a spouse? I try to eat well, at least 5-7 cups of veggies per day, lean proteins, supplement with Daily Foundation Protocol 2 plus Zinc. I usually do HIIT classes but worry that it may just be adding more stress to my current situation.

2276: Biocidin, Chemical Sprays, Fast Heart Rate, Fatlossity for Weight Loss, Child Grey Hairs, HRV Readings (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Michael: Hi Dr Cabral, what could be the reason I can only handle 1 drop of biocidin? I've been taking biocidin for 7 months. I can take other supplements at full dose daily like NAC 600mg, ALA 600mg and Liposomal Glutathione 500mg. I have tested positive for mold toxicity and h pylori. What can I do to be able to take higher dosages ?   Kelsey: Hi! Looking to build a house. How do you feel about living near farming? There are corn crops on the edge of the property we are looking at. Worried about potential harmful effects from them spraying with chemicals. Thoughts? Thank you   Gina: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you so much for all of the helpful information you share, you've been a huge help with a lot of things I've been struggling with. My question is ; Since I was young (elementary school) I've dealt with a fast heart rate/palpitations/lightheadedness intermittently that have become more frequent lately. I'm 33 otherwise healthy, eat clean, no meds, no alcohol, very health conscious. Cardiologist "diagnosed" a "short pr interval" based off EKG that he says may *or may not* suggest I have an extra accessory passageway. Anyway, the episodes are hard to determine triggers for; they seem to be more likely to happen during my cycle and during ovulation. Also highly likely during season changes. Never been on birth control, gave birth 3 years ago and I'd say they have become more frequent since then. Also had a fibroadenoma prior to pregnancy that disappeared and never came back after pregnancy. Not sure if that indicates I'm no longer estrogen dominant? Did the hair test recently and found my sodium and potassium both low, potassium a lot higher than sodium, calcium a lot higher than magnesium so am going to work on that. I take vitamin D3, multi, vitamin C and zinc as well. Any other direction you can help point me in would be appreciated!! Thank you very much!   Penny: I know to consult my physician but… I’m 370 pounds & I I do have Hypothyroid & taking meds for it but I’d really like to start Fatlossity & wanted to know if I could get started & for how long can one stay one it. Thank you for any help or advice with this. Thank you.   Aisha: Hi, hope you’re having a great day. My daughter is turning 4 soon and she has about 8 grey hairs on the top of her head. I’ve read this might be a copper deficiency issue. What should I be looking into? Some background: She tends to struggle with mild eczema and can sometimes get constipated. Also, slightly unrelated to the hair but who knows, her belly is slightly big and can get bloated after certain meals. Sorry to throw so much at you at once. Truly appreciate your help and guidance.   Alyssa: Hi Dr Cabral! I have a question about HRV. I got an Apple Watch for my 37th birthday. I noticed my HRV is very low. It averages 30’s but it sometimes as low as 15. I have pretty well controlled RA and hashimotos. Other than that, I’m pretty healthy and workout 5x a week, eat a very clean diet and have done a few of your protocols (dns, cbo and lots of supplements to fix imbalances found on big 5). I’ve listened to past podcasts on it, but I’m worried since I already do most of the suggestions for raising it and it’s still so low. Am I more unhealthy than I think?!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2276 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family)

2274: What’s the Upper Limit on Daily Protein Consumption? (TT)

Protein is one of those topics that is often hotly debated due to it’s big pros and cons… The problem is that like most areas of nutrition there is no one size fits all answer, which is why whenever you make an argument for the proper amount of protein consumption per day you are always going to be incorrect for many people… The one exception to that is understanding that for overall health and longevity there is an upper limit that should be considered (at least in the long run)… On today’s #CabralConcept 2274 I will present all sides of the argument and allow you to decide on what your upper limit on daily protein consumption should be - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2274 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2270: Swollen Lymph Node, New Longevity Line, Fatty Liver, Mold in Sinuses, Chronic Dry Eye Syndrome, Fish Oil Burps (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Kayla: Hi, I am working with an integrative practitioner right now. I have had a sharp pain in my lower left stomach, which she said it was a swollen lymph node. My candida antibodies came back extremely high, so I am currently taking antifungal herbs, as well as a probiotic and it my pain and symptoms seem to be getting worse. Do you think there are other underlying problems contributing to this pain? Or why do you think there is such a sharp pain in the lower left abdomen? Thank you so much!   Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I am a long-time, dedicated podcast listener and am so appreciative of the information and insights you share. I am excited to now be a Ayubowan Member and look forward to receiving on going lab tests and coaching calls along with it. I follow the foundational protocol level 2 daily and also take your immune support products. My question has to do with the new longevity line of products that I am also excited to try. Because some of them include some of the supplements I'm already taking daily, how can I determine whether I should continue with my current supplements in addition to the longevity products? I have been reluctant to order the ones I'm most interested in trying because I am unsure. Much thanks to you and your amazing team!   Hans: how to rid the body of a fatty liver   Mally: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for all you do, your podcasts and Equilife products have been SUCH a blessing for me and my family! I have ran a stool & organic acids test test through my local functional doctor, and have completed a 6 month bacteria overgrowth protocol through him. I recently tested for incredibly high levels of Ochratoxin A and started on your mold protocol. (His protocol called from some intense binders, so I did not feel comfortable taking those while my body is already herxing.) I appreciate how your mold protocol has less side effects. My question is, is your protocol able to address mold that has colonized in the sinuses and/or organs? My chronic sinusitis started when I was a kid and I am wondering what the proper expectation should be are far as recovery time. I have seen decent amounts of biofilm in my stool for about 6 months now. Also, is there any bloodwork I should be monitoring while I am detoxing so heavily?   Crystal: Hi Dr. Cabral! Because of my PCOS, I now have chronic dry eye syndrome. I have listened to all of your podcasts on dry eye that I could find and nothing seems to help. The only thing that has seemed to help the constant burning are Restasis eye drops that my eye doctor prescribed me. The dry eye suddenly started in Feb. 2020 out of nowhere and ever since, my eyes are really red and a large, visible, red vein has formed in my right eye. My eye doctor told me it will never go away, but I just don't want to believe that. My eyes have always been my best feature and I hate having red eyes all of the time and this giant red vein. What can I do to stop my dry eye and can I ever get rid of the red vein? Sorry my question is so long, but I so appreciate you taking your time out to answer my question and I value your work and advice so much. Thank you Dr. Cabral, you are my biggest inspiration!   Michael: Hi Dr Cabral what would cause someone to burp omega 3 capsules? I've tried many functional medicine brands but I keep burping them. I have low stomach acid, tested positive for h pylori and I probably have sibo as well.

2269: V Schedule, Antibiotic Eye Drops, H Pylori Dangers, Gilbert’s Syndrome, Allergy Induced Asthma, Freeze Dried Fruit, Neem (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Summer: Hi doc! Thank you so much for the time and effort that you put in to serving your fellow man. I’ve learned so much from you and share your podcast every chance I get! Long story short, I learned about natural health a little too late in life. After years of imbalance, infertility, dis-ease, and irreversible surgery, my husband and I are hoping to adopt an infant and I’ve recently learned that it is not our decision whether or not the child is fully vaccinated according to the standard vac schedule. It is the state’s decision until the child is 6 months old when the paperwork has all gone through. So basically I will be forced to take the baby to every ‘well child’ appointment and hand them over to a well meaning, but ignorant hospital employee for all of the neurotoxins mandated by the gov. After learning this I initially decided that I can’t be a party to that. I’ve wrestled with this for months and decided that any poor child in the system would at least be better off with us where we can try to mitigate the damage immediately and give them a healthy full life to the best of our ability. So I’m wondering what is the best way to physically prepare the baby for each visit and how to detox from these unnecessary tox injections? Thanks again! Summer   Summer: Hi Doc! In the case of adoption, since the majority of infants in the system are born addicted to drugs and alcohol, and within hours are bombarded with vacs and antibiotics, what is the best approach to help their poor little bodies find balance and healing for the first time in their young life? Also, if the birth mother has some kind of infection like an STI, would you recommend allowing the use of antibiotics especially in the eyes or can some kind of a modified natural anti-v protocol be used if all parties are in agreement? Thanks! Summer   Even: Is H pylori bad for you if left untreated? I don’t have any symptoms but tested for it on stool test so I don’t want to spend all this money to treat if it doesn’t matter. Thank you!   Kenzie: Hi dr Cabral! I have Gilbert’s syndrome and typically have no symptoms from it. I am a wine sales rep and do love wine so sometimes my job requires to drink a little. I try to limit it but when I do drink I am pretty hungover. How do I support my liver when I do? I’ve heard milk thistle is bad for Gilbert’s   Amy: Thank you for all of work & sharing this information Dr Cabral! My son is 7.5 years old and has suffered from allergy induced asthma for the last 6 years. We thought he was doing much better, then last October he was hospitalized for 3 days due to an asthma attack. Less than 3 months later he ended up with pneumonia and not to mention all the viruses he’s had between. Of course the allergist wants him on Flovent 2 times a day, Albuterol, allergy shots & daily Zyrtec but this just doesn’t feel right. We’ve done a food sensitivity and removed those items including dairy & gluten. We met with a holistic nutritionists that did a stool test & learned he has gut dysbosis & a presence of H . Ployri. He is currently on a supplement regimen to help those issues but still doesn’t seem to be improving. We have an air doctor, water filter, only use natural cleaning products & hygiene products. We eat organic & only local grass fed meat. We have removed all the toxic burdens that we know of and are at a loss of how to help him heal. I appreciate any feedback for next steps. Thank you!   Greg: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love fruit and sometimes I enjoy the crunchiness and convenience of freeze dried fruit. No additives, fruit is the only ingredient. What are your thoughts? How does it compare it to frozen or fresh   Anonymous: I want to first off thank you for all that you do! Providing valuable information for free is very altruistic and appreciated by all of your listeners. I have a few quick questions: -Do you have any recommendations for seasonal allergy support for dogs? My dog gets hot spots for a cluster of weeks 1-3 times a year and I want to be able to help support his gut health/suspected histamine response during those times. -What are your thoughts on the ayurvedic herb, Neem? I am a kapha-pitta (pretty even split) and it was recommended to me by a practitioner and has helped me greatly especially when pitta is aggravated. I was just curious as to your thoughts on it. -What are your thoughts on vegan meat alternatives (for example, Sweet Earth Benevolent Bacon)? Are there any good brands you know of that you would recommend for eating occasionally instead of having the actual processed meat? Sorry if that was too many questions for one submittal, and thank you for your guidance!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!    - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2269 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family)

2266: The “Fat Adapted” Myth Explained (WW)

Today I want to share with you why all of this talk about becoming fat adapted is largely marketing speak…   The human body has three main energy systems and burning body fat as a fuel is the predominant one that we are always using.   The reason I state this is that you do not get to choose what energy system you are going to tap into, it is chosen for you based on the stress placed on your body.   This is why it's important to understand the foundations of human physiology so if your goal is to burn more body fat you truly understand how to do so.   Check out today's Cabral Concept #2266 to hear me debunk and explain the “become fat adapted” myth - enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/2266 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

2263: Eat Clean While Traveling, Neon Yellow Urine, Lung Recovery, Enzyme Discomfort, Mitochondrial Disease, Estrogen & Aging (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Bryan: Hi Dr Cabral. Just want to start by thanking you for everything you do for me and so many people. You (and Julia) have helped me uncover a couple of root causes to some of my dis-eases and I’m feeling much better overall. I travel quite a bit for work, sometimes have to stay in hotels, and just find myself in situations where I can’t really cook and it might take a lot of effort to find something healthy. I always take my DNS powder and shaker bottle with me everywhere for the morning and sometimes afternoon shake. Do you have any recommendations for eating clean lunches and dinners while on the road or somewhere where it’s difficult to cook? Thank you so much.   Anonymous: Dr. Cabral, I recently ran the heavy metals and minerals test and it was recommended that I start on a multi vitamin for some subtle mineral deficiencies. I am using the equilife multi and have noticed my urine taking on a neon yellow color. I am well hydrated, and my urine very rarely goes past a very pale yellow, mostly clear. Is this a sign that there are vitamins that are not being absorbed or possibly that I am getting too much of certain vitamins and simply offloading the excess? Thanks for all you do!   Lesley: Hi Last year I was admitted to hospital with Covid pneumonitis and had oxygen for 12 days. I was hypoxic on admission but not noticeably breathless(silent hypoxia). I have been on a good nutrition plan since hospital discharge and taking zinc, vit c and vit d. I have just had a 12 week follow up X-ray which shows resolving Covid pneumonitis. I feel quite well but worried about the recovery of my lungs. My blood saturation is good 99%. Please can you give me any advice on what I can do to improve my lung recovery. Many thanks   Diana: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for everything you do and your daily podcasts! I have a question about digestive enzymes. Is there such a thing as being allergic to digestive enzymes? My son has Alopecia Areata, never had any stomach issues like bloating and vomiting, but he does when he takes digestive enzymes, he has tried 3 different and they all had the following enzymes in comment: Protease, amylase, lipase. Any idea of what could be the reason for bloating and vomiting after taking digestive enzymes? It also triggered a flareup. I want to do the CBO protocol, but I am afraid of him losing more hair because of the biofilm distributor and die off symptoms. He is 15 years old and it’s been very hard.   Michelle: I have a family member who was just diagnosed with mitochondrial disease? Can you recommend an ayurvedic/ functional medicine approach?Labs or tests that she should have run? Any insights would be appreciated--love your podcast!   Lorena: We all know how estrogen dominance and weight gain in the mid section are related. But this is interesting because there have been studies (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5460681/) that show how the risk of diabetes was reduced by 62% in women currently using HRT (hormone replacement therapy with estradiol included) compared to women who had never had HRT. One resource suggested that loss of estradiol, the primary human estrogen, from either natural or surgical menopause causes an abrupt reduction in metabolic rate, a tendency to increased fat around the middle, increased problems with cholesterol and triglycerides, and increased progression to metabolic syndrome. So which one is it? Does it cause weight gain or not? I'm confused now and I only trust your advice haha… Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/2263 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2262: Glyphosate & Oils, Vitamin E, Inflammation & Allergies, Exercise vs. Stress, Baking Soda Baths (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Bob: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have a fun hypothetical for you. What do you think the health of America would look like 1, 5, and 10 years down the road if you could snap your fingers and eliminate Glyphosate and replace the highly inflammatory oils most Americans cook with and consume with healthy oils? Say everyone carried on with their same diet and lifestyle, just those two things instantly changed. Love the podcast - keep up the good work!   Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral! recently did a genetic test and found I have genotype GSTP1 rs1695(A;G). This has been associated with possible harmful effects of supplemental vitamin E. I take the Daily Nutritional Support powder daily and I'm wondering if I should have a concern with the vitamin E in that formula? Should vitamin E supplementation be avoided completely? Thank you for your insight and all you do!   Anette: Hi Dr. Cabral. First of all, Thanks for all that you do! And the information you share with us. I don’t want to make this long and take up your time, so here are my two questions. My first question, how do I reduce inflammation in my body which is probably the cause of my seasonal allergies? Is adrenal fatigue a cause of inflammation? I did the OAT and metals test, results did not show any major concerns. My second question, I’m experiencing dry cough and mucus after the virus. It’s been about 3 weeks now. What can I do to get rid of these symptoms?   Isabella: Where does exercise fit in when you’re under extreme mental & emotional stress and not getting enough sleep (4-6 hrs) and still have to manage a household with kids and a spouse? I try to eat well, at least 5-7 cups of veggies per day, lean proteins, supplement with Daily Foundation Protocol 2 plus Zinc. I usually do HIIT classes but worry that it may just be adding more stress to my current situation.   Diane: Hi Dr. Cabral and thank you for all you do in your unending efforts in getting us all on track to total wellness. I recently read of a bath ‘recipe’ of 2 cups of Epsom salts, 1 box of baking soda, and one bottle of peroxide in the bath water to help aid in restoring the body’s PH Balance. I’ve watched your Podcasts on epson salt baths along with optional essential oils such as lavender, have read the Rain Barrel Effect, an excellent book, but had wondered your opinion on if this combination has any wellness benefit or if I’m just wasting products. . Thank you for you for any information you can give.

2256: Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome, Fillers in Supplements, Smelly Body Odor, Intracranaian Increased Hypertension, Cavernoma, Sickle Cell (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Tennea: Hi Dr Cabral, I’m currently doing your IHP training. I wanted to know if you have any advice on the condition called Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) I had an accident 4 years ago leaving me “permanently disabled” in my left arm, hand, and shoulder after breaking my elbow (terrible triad). And I ended up with this nerve chronic pain CRPS. I also developed a anaphylactic reaction to seafood last year (I LOVE seafood), I believe it’s related to the CRPS. I would be eternally great full for your advice or thoughts on this. Warm regards Teena Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I’m hoping you could talk about the “extra” ingredients in supplements.. like different fillers, additives, preservatives..? Which ones should we be careful about, which different names do they use for the same crappy substance, for example, citric acid is in lots of them, also lactic acid, etc. What kind of a capsule (vegan) should it be and so on? Would love to buy extra clean supplements but sometimes it’s really difficult to get them, especially with the crazy prices.. Thank you! Happy healing, everyone!   Rachel: Body odour. I sometimes find that I have very very strong body odour in my armpits. It's not the "normal" BO smell. It is pungent but more like a strong gasoline smell. When it happens it's almost as if I can't wash it off. Showering and washing my armpits helps lessen it, but the smell is still there. Any idea what the cause could be or how to rectify it? Thank you! Debra: I have mast cell disease,, hereditary alpha tryptaemia syndrome, and Intracranaian increased hypertension which causes debilitating migraines. I have done your detox and despite the debilitating migraines getting worse I stuck it out. I did the hair migraine erase test and I had to stop all supplements recommended for now. I was reacting to everything. Especially the shakes high in vitamin A. Do you have experience in IIH aka pseudo tumor? Would love to work together further. I'm a huge fan and desperate to heal.thanks, Debra Nick: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have two questions for you — one, i recently had a snowboarding accident where i hit my head and got a CT scan and MRI which showed a Cavernoma in the back upper outer edge of my head. Do you have any natural remedies advice for controlling / improving it? i’ve had no symptoms and it was found incidentally. (i’m 25 years old) my second question is — they told me i will need to monitor it probably 1-2 times a year with contrast and no contrast MRI. Should i be concerned with the gadolinium metal that’s used to contrast the MRI? if so, would you have any alternative suggestions (i.e. recommending no contrast) or any detox solutions you’d recommend if you think it’s necessary? thank you! Karen: Hi Dr. Cabral - I recently found your practice and I love what you do. My question is - my son joined the navy and had extensive blood work done. He discovered that he has a high percentage of sickle cell trait. He was 1% from the navy's limit. Are there health issues associated with a higher percentage of this trait? Thank you so much!

2255: Missing REM Sleep, Night Itching, Food Cravings, Catechols in Coffee, Hot Bath Issues (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Chelsea: Hi Dr. Cabral! Two quick questions - I’m a healthy and active 30yo female and have a high running body temperature. My friends and my partner often comments that my skin is always hot to the touch almost like I have a fever but it’s my baseline, especially in the evening and overnight. I sweat easily and am a true pitta. Do you know why I might run so hot? I have stripped back most inflammatory foods after doing my lab testing and am in good health overall, and don’t have hot flashes or anything I’m just curious why I’m warmer than anyone I know! Second - my Oura ring shows me that I get almost all of my REM sleep between 6am -8am. Is this normal? This means any time I have to get up early I miss out on most of my rem, when when I try to go to bed earlier. I’d estimate most nights I’m fully asleep before 11 and always practice good sleep hygiene to maximise my deep and rem cycles. Is this normal/is there anything I can do to get more rem before 6am? Thank you! Chelsea   Jill: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you 100 times over for changing my life. Question I go to bed around 11 but around 2-3 am I start itching uncontrollably until I wake up. All over really but then specifically in one spot on the inside of my thigh. It keeps me up all night. I have read It’s because of body temperature change, moisture etc I also have severe dry mouth upon waking? Is this simply dehydration? . I have an air purifier in my room and i drink water? Does this mean i need more? I try to slow down water before bed to avoid waking up to urinate. What am i missing or what Would you suggest? What exactly is going on? Thank you again, Jill   Anonymous: Hi! I am such a huge fan of the podcast! It has truly taught me a lot. I have been learning a lot about ayurveda lately, but something that still confuses me is the ayurvedic season. In my country, we only have only rainy and sunny seasons, not the 4 seasons. I was wondering how that translates ayurvedically to the dosha seasons. I would like to tailor my diet to the season but I'm a bit unclear on how to do that. Also, my birth constitution is predominantly vata(50%) and the rest is pitta and kapha respectively. I understand that I need more grounding carbs, and wholesome oils and fats in my diet. Especially because I tend to have dry skin and dull low density hair. However, whenever I increase them, I gain a lot of weight especially in my face and belly. I assume it's insulin issues. I have tried detoxing and fasting but I still have a lot of food cravings. And it's not for refined carbs, it's for healthy foods like sweet potatoes and also fats like avocados . When I finish a meal, I feel physically full but mentally unsatisfied. I can't seem to stop eating even though I know that I've had enough. The feeling is so strong. I also can't seem to stop thinking about food even when I'm not eating. It's overwhelming. I would love your insight on this. Thank you for all you do!   Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral. I hope this will be an interesting one for you to answer. Couple years ago before I knew what a proper functional medicine gut/stool test was I did one that gave me a list of foods to avoid and superfoods to maximize based on my microbiome. Avoid list foods were bell peppers, paprika, tomato and the reason given was because my gut had pepper and paprika mild mottle virus and tomato mosaic virus. Another food on the avoid list was coffee and the reason given was because the catechols in coffee can be unfavorable to my gut. What are coffee catechols? Is any of this real? Can the viruses be eradicated? I don't drink coffee but I want to try a coffee enema so will I be compromising my gut as the test suggests? Thanks for the guidance!   Marleena: Hi! Thank you so much for what you do! I’m a Vata 32 years old currently working through adrenal fatigue with your team. I’ve been trying to maximise my self-care so I started implementing hot Epsom salt baths 2x a week before dinner. My readiness in the Oura ring is not as great the morning after the days I do the bath as it looks like my heart rate is a little higher throughout the night. Any idea why these baths might be affecting me like that? I only stay for 10 min.   Brenda: Hi & thank you Dr Cabral for all your knowledge.

2249: Cold Weather Dangers, Pancreatic Insufficiency, Melatonin Safety, Good vs. Bad Yeast, Mushrooms & Candida Overgrowth, Chiari Malformation (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Justin: Hi Dr. Cabral, Does cold weather make you sick? My mother is paranoid about her body being cold even when she is inside, and being out in the cold weather she is even more paranoid. She is convinced cold weather will make her sick. I’ve looked this up and could not find anything on it. Thanks   Fay: I’m curious… Dr. Cabral you cured yourself of all your diseases. Drs tell me mine is not reversible. I have Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI).. my pancreas is not producing the enzymes I need to digest my fats, proteins and carbs. I have done your labs and your protocols. However, I am going to have this continued bacterial overgrowth because of the EPI. I am taking XXXX enzymes with all meals. My pancreas is fine, not enlarged. My liver is fine..I still have my gallbladder. I have no surgeries or diseases. I’ve done all the bloodwork, endoscopy  etc. I am fine except for the EPI. My Dr said I was drinking more alcohol than I should have on a daily basis. It’s been a few years now that I only have few drinks on weekends. I know I should have none.. I’ve tried that with no change. My question is can I heal my pancreas so that it makes the enzymes I need? Otherwise there’s no point in doing anything more to get rid of the excess bacteria I have.. it’ll just keep coming back. I suffer with bloating and burping. XXXX enzymes helps but I really don’t want to take these pills the rest of my life if I don’t have to. Thanks for any insight with this.   Kenny: Hi Dr. Cabral, a friend sent me an article saying that there’s health risks to taking melatonin. I take it at least 5 nights a week and I know in the past you’ve spoken very highly on melatonin and it’s safety. Here is a link to the article. It’s CNN, so I am very skeptical already. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thx! https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/01/health/melatonin-overuse-wellness/index.html   Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast and have learned so much from it! I've had candida overgrowth and other gut issues that I have been working on. I've done a couple of protocols for candida and parasites in the past (not yours) but still experience lot's of bloating. I take probiotics daily. One of the probiotics I take has S.boulardi in it. I know it's a good yeast, but it still yeast. My question: can Saccharomyces boulardii make candida worse? I also had to take antibiotic recently (Xifaxan), so I want to bring good bacteria to my gut now. Will I benefit from s.boulardi, or can it make my candida worse? (I just purchased Complete Candida, Matabolic and Vitamins test from you and will retest for candida to see where I stand now, I'm curious about the "good fungi" and candida interaction)   Alicja: Hi again Dr. Cabral, I also would love to ask you about the medicianal mushrooms and candida overgrowth? Chaga, Reishi, Lion's Mane, Turkey Tail, Cordyceps etc. Can they be good for a person with gut imbalances and candida overgrowth? Or will they make my condition worse? Thank you so much for your answers. Lot's of gratitude and love towards you and your family.   Elizabeth: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all of your wonderful wisdom - I have been a faithful follower for many years. My daughter was diagnosed with a Chiari-1 malformation at age 2 (about 4 years ago) after a fall that required a CT scan due to persistent concussive symptoms. We had an MRI one year ago that showed interval development of a syrinx. Because of the higher probability that it may cause irreversible paresthesias and/or chronic pain, we decided to have decompression surgery in attempt to reduce the pressure in her spinal cord. She has had a follow-up MRI in the past 6 months which has not shown much improvement in the size of the syrinx. Wanting to avoid surgery again, I am curious as to whether you have any recommendations (not cures, diagnoses or treatments) to improve her symptoms. We are currently in PT due to her low muscle tone and poor coordination. I also give her a high quality multivitamin, Vitamin D3/K2, and omega daily. How would you treat this if it were your daughter? Thank you again!

2248: Burp 24/7, Psychology Degree, Breast Implants Pros/Cons, Glucose Creeping Up, Heavy Metals & Autism/ASD, Broken Sleep Cycles (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jovita: Hey Dr. Cabral, I would like to know if you can help me with my stomach problem. I get bloated a lot and burp 24/7 to a point where I can’t sleep at night. My doctor said I had a chronic constipation and bacteria in my gut and I also have heart burn. And I have been having this problem for 2 years and the medicine doesn’t help. Is there anything you have that I can buy to help ? Jenna: Hey Dr. Cabral! I really appreciate this community you’ve built. It has helped me overcome health complications I didn’t think I’d ever heal and restored my faith in the power of my own body and mind. My question is a little different. I am thinking of going back to school to get my masters in psychology because I love the field, but don’t know what career I want to pursue with it. I was wondering if functional medicine companies like yours had a psychologist on staff working with the team and the clients. I would love to work with people who are determined to improve their health in all areas. I’ve thought maybe sports psychology would align the best with working on both the physical and mental aspects of health, but thought I’d ask if there are any opportunities for psychologists on functional medicine teams. Thanks for all your help! Gillian: Hey there Dr. Cabral! I want to thank you first for sharing all your wisdom with all of us. You have an amazing heart for people and touch more people than you will ever know. My question is about breast implants. I got silicone implants 15 years ago and after reading and learning about natural and functional medicine, I think I may have made a big health mistake. While I love the way it makes me look and feel, I do not want to sacrifice my health. I’m in my late 30’s and healthy. Should I have them removed for health reasons and if so, are there any heathy alternatives? Thank you so very much! Nancy: Hello Dr Cabral, I am a 57 yr old female with history of Hashimotos Thyroiditis, sleep apnea and I had a heart attack 5 yrs ago with one stent placed. I am on Pravastatin 20mg and zedia 20mg. I have recently gained about 30lbs over covid period due to lack of exercise. I am vegan and gluten free. My cholesterol has crept back up to 190 and my glucose is at pre-diabetic level (over one point) I have gained most of my weight in my middle region and my cortisol is also elevated. My oxidative stress and inflammation markers are low. I sleep well and I meditate and do breath practices. I can't tolerate stronger statins due to side effects. I know exercise will help and am getting back on the wagon. What else can I do to reverse all of this. Thank you. Desire: Hi, is heavy metal intoxication related to Autism/ASD? Is there any treatment recommended if they are related to reducing the effects of heavy metals e.g diet, vitamin or natural therapies? Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral. I’ve been listening to to show for several years now and it has truly changed my life. Thank you. I’ve searched for this question but have not found it on the archives. Is broken 8-9 hrs of sleep still considered getting a full 8 hrs sleep? My 6 month old still wakes up once a night, so for instance I will get 6 hrs of straight sleep then another 2-3 hrs after I feed her and she goes back down   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2248 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family)

2242: Protein Consumption, Chronic Constipation, Unknown Dis-Ease, Eating Disorder & Low Thyroid, Lost Period, Bumps on Eyelid (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Hannah: I have a lot of confusion around protein consumption, especially when building muscle. Do you have a rule of thumb of how much protein is needed? When working with a nutritionist online, at one point she had me at 112 g, my body weight was around 140. This number was super hard to hit if I was not down in protein bars and shakes. Protein bars and protein shakes do not agree with my stomach at all. After finding you, I’m doing the detox and running some labs to work on my gut health. I would really like to get protein from natural sources. Can you help with how much protein do you think is needed?   Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have severe gut issues and I am working with a functional Dr. We have determined I have leaky gut and bacterial imbalances in the gut. I also suffer from chronic constipation. We are trying to address these things currently. I also did a food sensitivity test for IGG and had very few problems there. However, I have massive bloating and cramping in the colon with EVERY meal no matter what food I eat. I tried the pulse test for IGE and found no increase in pulse, but I am getting horrible reactions every time I eat anything. Any advice? (I know stress is making things worse and I am very stressed currently, but this seems a bit extreme to be only stress) Thank you! Gary   Mallory: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am 27 years old & have been sick since I was a toddler. I had 4 sinus surgeries by the time I was 11 and was on an insane amount of medication & antibiotics as a child (so much so that it stained my adult teeth). Ever since I've had extreme gut issues, anxiety, & more recently I've developed POTS & other auto immune issues. A year ago I learned about candida, pathogens, parasites, mold, etc. I started on my own parasite cleanse which resulted in an instant crawling sensation all over my body. I had an intense herxheimer reaction & even tested positive for the flu. Since then, I have found a local functional doctor who has ran several functional tests & currently has me on a protocol similar to yours for my immune system and detox. He believes this is the root to the vast majority of my issues. The problem today is that it's been a year and I still see visible pathogens & film-like in every single one of my bowel movements. I still feel this crawling sensation, although not at all as intense as it was a year ago. My question is: is it possible that I can feel the pathogens moving as they are being pulled out of my body? Have you seen patients who took this long to detox? Any advice is much appreciated! It currently feels like I'm still so far from being well.   Zita: Hi, What about illnesses like eating compulsive disorders or Bulimia? Can they provoke adrenal insufficiency or hypothyroidism? Kind regards, Zita   Catherine: Hi Stephen. I’ve been lifting for 8 years. I was a swimmer growing up. In college I went from 140-105 lbs in three years by running and eating a paleo diet. I was about 6% body fat. I gained 20 lbs by eating 2700 of a paleo diet calories in 2017. I started intuitive eating. Mid 2020, I randomly started to gain weight. I tried cutting my calories and I started binge eating as a result. I gained 50# in 8 months. I was getting debilitating migraines with aura 2019-2020. I haven’t had a period since 2018. I started cutting with a coach in March of 2021. We reversed to 2300 calories and went down from there. I lost 12 lbs and plateaued in July. We tried going lower. I went down to 1200 calories (still paleo) and still did not lose weight. I believe my hormones are messed up and the binge eating is coming back. My digestion sucks and I have to take linzess. I don’t know what to do at this point. I am sitting at 5’5” 156-158 lbs, 25/26% body fat based on Dexa. I still have no period. My mood and my energy are all over the place. I take progesterone but it doesn’t do anything. Any tips on where to go from here? I want to get back to 140#.   Cassandra: Hi Dr. Cabral, Since probably November, I've started noticing tiny bumps on my eyelid. They have only appeared on the top lid of my right eye. It's not like a stye that I've seen people get on the main surface of the eyelid; they show up below the lash line, like where the two lids meet when you blink.

2241: Blood Type Diet, Black Pepper Absorption, Immune Imbalances, Supplements & Fat Loss, Teas & Fasting, PCOS Weight Loss (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Christina: Hi Dr. Cabral. What do you think about eating for your blood type? I’ve been reading the book “Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type” and find it particularly interesting. Any comments or thoughts on this?   Ryan: Hello, I have been wondering if you know anything about the approximate ratio of black pepper to turmeric is needed to get the benefits of the bioperine? I don't want to get too much into the micro here but also would like to know practically if a tiny grind from the shaker is enough or if larger amounts are needed? Thanks in advance.   Cindy: Dr Cabral, I listened to Episode 760 on killing viruses. It talks about the need to ramp up your immune system, however, I have an autoimmune thyroid,(Hashimotos) and was told to avoid things that ramp up my immune system, because the immune system has already gone rogue, and it could cause the body to attack itself even more. For instance, I read to avoid echinacea and Holy Basil. Can you clear this up because I certainly would like to support immune system without causing issues with my autoimmunity. I listen all the time, so thanks for your help on this issue. Cindy   Liz: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for putting so much time and effort into your podcasts; it’s clear that you have a drive and a need to help people help themselves! I’ve learned a lot over the past couple of years. My question is, what do you think of fucoxanthin supplements to aid in fat loss? I haven’t been able to find a lot of information on it, but what I have seen seems promising. It’s hard to find though, and I question the quality of the supplements I have been able to find. Is fucoxanthin legit? And if so how do I find a source I can trust? Thank you!   Bob: Hi Dr. Cabral. Love the podcast and your unbias approach to everything you cover. I know you have a lot of content on Intermittent Fasting so I apologize if my question has already been addressed, but I'm wondering what breaks a fast when doing Intermittent Fasting? I'll start my morning w/ some organic non-caffeinated herbal tea (typically some Roasted Dandelion Root or Rose Hips & Hibiscus by Traditional Medicinals, or Lemon Ginger plus Probiotics by Bigelow). Would that break my fast? Also curious about supplements. Would taking a supplement pill first thing in the morning or right before bed break a fast?   Crystal: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am 25 and have struggled with my weight my entire life. When I was in high school, I got very slim but then gained over 100 pounds between ages 19-20. I was then diagnosed at 20 with PCOS which has resulted in chronic dry eye syndrome and hypothyroidism. I went vegan shortly after I was diagnosed for ethical and health reasons. I was able to lose the majority of the weight, but in the past year have put a lot back on. Even with listening to your previous podcasts on PCOS, doing slow weighted workouts and steady cardio with balanced, high-protein meals, the weight does not want to shed. I'm at a loss for what to do and was wondering if you could recommend a certain diet/protocol? I want to mention that because I'm vegan and aiming to eat higher protein meals, I often use faux meats to meet my macro goals. I sway towards cleaner products, but many have PUFAs, which I know you say causes inflammation. Could this be a reason I'm not losing weight? Do I have to give these up to reach my goals? What are some better protein sources for vegans besides beans, tofu, and tempeh? Thank you so much! I so value your work and expertise, and am so grateful for your podcast and deep care for peoples' health!

2239: Are 5-Minute “Mini-Workouts” the Future of Exercise? (TT)

2235: Transplant Surgery, Epilepsy, Candida & High TSH, Swollen Tonsil, Hemophilia, Fucoxanthin Supplement (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Tina: Hi it’s me again! LOL. My husband is 48 years old and was born with congenital heart disease. 12 years ago he had a heart transplant. For the most part he is very very healthy from what his transplant team tells him. He recently also did the big five, we are waiting for the results to get back, but my question is because he is taking so many drugs, especially his immunosuppressants, heart rejection medicine, is he still able to take all of the supplements his IHP level two practitioner will recommend? I’m wondering what your thoughts are on someone like him. Can he reverse everything just like someone who has not had a heart transplant? Should he consult his transplant team before taking anything? Just curious what your thoughts are on someone like him Who is anatomy is not the norm. Thank you so so much for all you do!   Kelly: Do you have expertise in working with epilepsy? My teenage son starting having seizures at 16-he is stable on medication- he is 19 I want to get him off meds and find root cause -if you can help - i will fill out paperwork for a wellness appointment kindly kelly    Anonymous: A part from the usual low thyroid symptoms, is there any link between candida and high TSH? And if so, why would that be? A part from the potential malabsorption of iodine and selenium of course.   Angie: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your guidance through my families healing journey. I have a question regarding my 11 year old daughter. She has an enlarged tonsil on the left side of her throat (my left when I look in her throat). Our general practitioner doctor noticed it after a bout of antibiotics due to strep when she was a kindergartner, so we went to see a specialist and he said to just “watch it.” She now sees a naturopathic doctor and tested positive for HPylori and SIBO, which she has done treatment for and eradicated. She currently takes your DNS, DFVB, Vitamin D and Omega 3. Her tonsil is still the same size it was when she was 5 and nothing seems to get it to settle down. Do you have any suggestions?   Soussi: Thks a lot i got ur page from a friend of mine .i get hemophilia A One year now.i m 46 years old and this hemophilia not heriditaire i get some scanners but no reasons .i take no médecine now i have only médecine in case of hémorragy.the facteur 8 Is on déficit it was 0 the first tme but now 5.

2234: Cortisol vs. Norepinephrine, Pain Under Ribcage, Psoriasis Review, Hangovers, Hypothyroidism & Hashimoto’s, Bacteria in Water (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Lorena: Hello! You are truly incredible, I love your work. My question is regarding the adrenals. I am a 25 Vata and currently on stage 5 of adrenal fatigue (ongoing resistance). My tsh is functionally low and so are all my sex hormones (including estrogen). I'm working my way the destress protocol but I just get confused whenever I hear you say "the body is under stress and so it will produce more cortisol". Looking at thyroid for example, I know thyroid is reduced in higher levels of cortisol but in someone that is not producing enough cortisol because the adrenals are exhausted, this doesn't apply right? I guess my question is "can someone be on the fight or flight, if they are on the later stages of adrenal fatigue?". I would assume that since little cortisol is being produced, the body is not stressed and therefore not in the fight or flight?   Stefanie: Hi, before my question I wanted to thank you for and your team for all that do everyday. Now to my question, I am 34 yrs old and had my gallbladder removed a few years ago and from time to time I feel similar pain but to a lower level on my right side right under my ribcage. I was told that sometimes I can have stone residue on that duct between my liver and my now removed gallbladder. I have gotten sonogram, mri and nothing comes up. My cbc showed for sometime to have high cholesterol but I managed to bring that down. Currently I do macros with 50 g of fat a day and definitely seen a change in my overall health but I still have this pain. I do strength training 4 times a week and cardio twice a week, 8k steps a day. I also drink a gallon of water a day. I take omega 3, vitamin d, zinc, magnesium, and a multivitamin. How much fat should be consuming and what kind of fats ? I normally eat organic chicken breast, organic ground turkey breast, top round beef (which has lower fat), almonds, evoo cold pressed, avocado, oats, powder peanut butter, cage free eggs, some coffee cream and that's mainly what my fat sources are overall. I rarely eat processed foods, thank you.   Yasmin: Would you do a podcast on psoriasis please. How can we cure it? Without having to omit absolutely everything from our diet (which is what I see people do). Is it curable? Have you treated patients with skin problems like this.   Anonymous: Hi dr Cabral! I am a wine sales rep and so I have to drink for my job. I love wine but I get hungover off of one glass. Are there ways to support the body during drinking? I only drink a few glasses a week max but I want to make sure I’m staying healthy. Also any tips for preventing the hangover? Thanks!   Alison: RE: Hypothryroidism and Hashimotos Is it possible to reverse these two? I see a Dr. at Vanderbilt Univ. Medical Ctr. and he tells me it is not even a possibility.   Tina: Thank you for everything you do. I recently did the big five and I am working with a level two practitioner and I am so excited about my journey to wellness. I have a reverse osmosis under the sink water system. I read somewhere that the holding tank under my sink can cause the water to get moldy. So I went ahead and purchased a test kit that I took at home and sent off to the lab and the results came back telling me the below …. I’m not quite sure what to make of this. Is this water harmful to drink? From what I understand all water, from an RO system and even a Berkey will have some type of bacteria in it. The only pure water is distilled. Thank you!!! Total HPC Bacteria 580000 CFU/100ml SLR. Health Effects: Heterotrophic (carbon-consuming) bacteria include a wide range of relatively harmless microorganisms that are commonly present in natural water sources. While HPC is indeed an indicator of overall bacterial presence in your water, it is not a good indicator of health risk since many of these bacteria are not pathogenic, or likely to affect your health. On the other hand, coliform and e.coli bacteria, are well known indicators of pathogenic health risk. Common Sources: Heterotrophs are microorganisms that require organic carbon to grow and reproduce.

2232: How to Still Boost Metabolism While Losing Weight (TT)

Typically when you go on a calorie-cutting diet to lose weight your metabolism inevitably begins to slow down after 6-12 weeks of consistent dieting…   This has been shown to occur over and over in the research, yet it is still the most common way people approach the topic (even the “experts”)…   The problem is once you’ve slowed your metabolism you need to cut even more calories in order to continue losing weight - eventually you have to eat so little that it’s nearly impossible for anyone to maintain these types of diets…   This is also why the failure rate is near 100% on traditional weight-loss diets…   The good news is there is an alternative and it works so well it’s actually been shown to improve your metabolism…   But don’t take my word for it, on today’s #CabralConcept 2232 I will present the research and simple plan you can follow to still boost your metabolism while losing weight - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2232 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2228: Dosha Diet, Improving HRV, Anxiety Attacks, Acid Reflux, Fasting with Hypothyroidism (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Laura: Hi! I am such a huge fan of the podcast and it has really made a huge impact on my life. I recently completed the dosha test and found out that I'm Vata: 55 Pitta: 32 Kapha: 13. It took me by surprise because I have always thought that I'm a Vata-Kapha. So considering my constitution, I was wondering if I should just follow a tridoshic diet because most vata foods aggravate my kapha and i end up gaining weight and also my pitta resulting in inflammation. The only issue is I tend to have vitamin and mineral deficiencies so things like eggs and nuts and seeds help out with that. How can I get the nutrients I need through whole food without aggravating my secondary doshas? Also, I seem to gain more weight in my upper body(arms, waist, back, chest) but not my lower body. I have tried resistance training with emphasis on the lower body but I can never seem to gain any weight there. And when I lose weight, my pitta shoulders are very clearly broader than my lower body. It is like my upper body is all pitta and kapha and my lower body is all vata. I want to gain more weight in my lower body to achieve a bit more balance. How can I get my body to be more symmetrical. through exercise or diet ? ps: I am a 25 year old female   Becky: Thank you so much for what you. It is truly amazing. I just listened to the episode on "How Your Habits Form Your Future" and I loved it. I'm an IHP L2 Vata mid twenties. You spoke about the importance of cardio and how it benefits your HRV. I do strength training 4x a week and 10k steps daily. I don't really have time to add more cardio on top and I don't want to lose weight. I'm already 90% vegan with the occasional wild salmon so this makes me very prone to catabolism. I take DNS, mag, balanced zinc, omega 3, vitamin d, C, etc. I do however track my HRV with my Oura ring and would love to improve it (currently around 60) so I'm happy to compromise and add cardio if that will improve my HRV. What are your thoughts? Should I perhaps replace my 10k steps with some cardio? And how long should cardio be?   Lisa: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for answering my question. My partner is in his early 40’s, healthy but doesn’t exercise much. The past couple of years he started having quite bad anxiety. When anxiety attacks happen, it takes over his whole body and he can’t sleep. This will usually last 1-2days, the following 2 days the anxiety goes away, he feels extremely tired, nauseous, hyperactive, hiccups a lot, generally has unsettled stomach and disturbed sleep. He started seeing a therapist and is seeing some progress. However is there anything else we could do to support his body better from a nutritional/medicinal point of view? We tried magnesium for better sleep but he gets upset stomach even with smaller doses. We tried adrenal soothe it didn’t seem to work either in terms of keeping him calm (although he didn’t take it regularly). Really appreciate your advice! Lisa   Terry: I have recently started your 21 day detox. My question is I also take Nexium for acid reflex. What is your advice for weaning myself off of this over the counter medication to start.   Amy: I'm a L2 IHP and I'm a little bit confused when it comes to tackling fasting with hyperthyroid clients. If someone is overweight but has low thyroid should they do the 2 days of fasting in the detox? I would assume yes but then isn't fasting detrimental for the thyroid? What about long-term? They are obviously working on the thyroid but should they do 14-16h fasts overnight? And should they workout before or after breakfast? The answer would be yes to someone on a weight loss plan but I think the answer would be no if someone has a low thyroid? Please help with those 3 questions!

2227: Tudca, Flat Stomach, Facial Peel, Radio Active Iodine, Bumps on Tongue, Need More Oxygen (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jen: I haven't heard you talk about the supplement Tudca yet. What is your opinion?   Alana: Hello doctor Cabral, I’ve been listening to your podcast for a few years now, and it’s one of the constants in my life, so I really wanted to thank you for that. It takes a lot of time and work to record these every single day, and please know that we notice that and appreciate it greatly. I wanted to ask your opinion about something I’ve been struggling with for a while: fat and cellulite on my belly. I’ve never had a flat stomach, but it had gotten worse throughout the years. I’m 43 now, have low female hormones, low thyroid and some gut issues. I’m working on all of those things with a naturopath and have done CBO protocol too. I do 30 minutes or strength training and take long walks, 5-6 days of the week. I’m not overweight and have muscle definition both in my upper and lower body, but my belly just keeps growing it seems. Is there anything you would advise for me to do to get rid of the belly fat and cellulite? I’m already taking supplements, prioritise sleep and relaxation and eat to help my hormone balance and hypothyroidism. Anything you could do to help would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance! Alana   Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I've been a loyal listener for several years and can't thank you enough for all that you and your team do for this community. It's truly life changing! I see a dermatologist at least annually to check for moles and early skin cancer spots from years of sun damage in my teens and twenties before I knew better. I've had several removed from my face and chest and because more seem to appear as time goes on. Is there a natural "facial peel" you would recommend that may help with these proactively? I know you've talked about a combination of green clay and ACV. I do have sensitive skin with redness. I think a facial peel may be the way to go for me, but am concerned about going to an esthetician due to the chemicals involved, but I'd like to give the skin on my face a fresh start, if that's even possible. I'd love to know your thoughts about this. Thank you.   Gina: Thank you for doing what you do and helping others! I am happy to have found your podcast! When I was 19 I was advised by my endocrinologist to take a radio active iodine pill to deplete my thyroid. My thyroid was hyper now hypo because of the treatment. Is there anything I can do to treat it other than being on Synthroid long term since I have nothing to work with anymore since it is no longer there? Thank you!   Moez: Hi Dr. Cabral. I hope you are doing well and have an amazing day. I have been seen these bumps or pimples I am not quite sure what to call them. They just look like a raised tissue or a pimple at the end of my tongue where my throat is. I have never felt anything from them whatsoever. No issues at all. However, they’ve been there for a while now 4 or 5 years or so. It could be more. As far as I remember it’s about 5 years when I first seen them. I wonder what they are and what to do about it. There’s about 4 of them two on each side. Sometimes they look big sometimes they look pretty small and not as inflamed I am assuming. I am 29 years old Male, pretty I exercise regularly 4-5 times weight lifting. I eat pretty clean mostly organic, grass feed, pasture raised etc. don’t have any issues. I used to smoke before for about 10 years then quit 4 years in now. I Don’t drink never have never will either. Take my vitamins regularly.   Moez: Hi again Dr. Cabral. I also have a breathing issue sometimes. It feels like I am struggling for air, I try to inhale and I just can’t get that oxygen that my body needs. In some cases no matter how many times I try to relax myself and inhale I just can’t get that oxygen. The air will go down through my throat but I don’t feel like I got the Oxygen I need. So I just stop thinking about it and in about a minute or less I’ll just breath normal and have that oxygen. I also sometimes have to move my body and be in a certain position to be able to breath and get oxygen. I had this issue since I was a little kid. I am also more of a mouth breather and sometimes sleep with my mouth open and droll as well. The issue feels worsen when I don’t eat very clean like cheat day or over eat on a meal. However, even when I am eating the cleanest it is still there but it feels a lot better. It gets better when I fast but not completely gone tho. Even when I did the 4 days fast i still felt it. I am 29 years old. 5’7 245lb. I am in a weight loss journey still. I was 365lb two years ago. I still got a way to go but taking it slowly and healthy. Side note I do plan on running the big fives pretty soon, I am just not sure if they would help with these issues, As I am feeling pretty amazing otherwise.

2222: 5 Signs You Need to Take a Break (Before You Burn Out) (MM)

In this world, it seems difficult to find the middle ground and instead, the two prevailing philosophies are to either go all out in life 24/7 or look for the easiest way out whenever possible.   At least in the west, the constant grinding and pushing yourself to the limit has most certainly won out as the dominant culture.    The problem is every person regardless of how strong their constitution is will eventually burn out with this mentality.   That's why on today's Cabral Concept 2222 I'll be sharing the five signs you need to take a break before you burn out. - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2222 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2221: Bubbles from Stool, Oat Milk, Migraines from Cold, Adverse Reaction, Amalgam Removal Protocol, White Tongue Coating (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Ryan:Is it a sign of something wrong if I'm having air bubbles arise from the toilet water after my stool drops in? I don't have any issues with bloating or passing gas in general. When I occasionally do fart, there's no foul smell. I've run the OAT which showed no elevation or issues in my microbial markers, although I'm curious if having air/gas in my stools is something I should be investigating further? I appreciate any input!   Sarah: I've been buying this gluten free oat milk in the UK that is organic from a brand that is known for doing everything "all natural". The ingredients in this oat milk are: Gluten free oats (14%), sunflower oil and water. I emailed them to ask whether this sunflower oil was heated and they said the following "they only use cold pressed sunflower oil in the product but that the product itself has to be heated for the safety and shelf life of the drink. This is done at very high temperatures for a short period of time. " Now, I'm skeptical about this. I know that heating sunflower oil is not good for the body, or is this ok given that it's a very short time?   Evan: Noticing I get migraines when the weather gets cold. Any suggestions?   Courtney: Hi there! One of my closest friends had a pretty immediate strong reaction to the (shall not be named) virus shot. He sweat profusely as if he’d dumped a bucket of water over his head. Since the shot, vitiligo has kicked in (which he had no history of) and he continues to lose pigmentation on his face and arms. Any known connection? Advice for how to intervene? Thanks so much, from a long time patient of your practice!   Renata: Hello Dr. Cabral , first I wanna thank you for all you do for people, all your time and effort to help as many people as possible. I found you on MindPump podcast and since then I am listening and learning so much! Thank you! Here is my question, I am doing the 21 day detox (on day 11 now) everything is going great .love it so much. My sleeping got so much better. I am learning to drink more water and wanna keep the meal schedule. After this detox I was gonna do your CBO protocol but I am having dental procedure in March and I feel that it would would be waste of time and money to do the CBO protocol. They will remove some if my amalgam fillings and extract one tooth and put me on antibiotics. What would be the best approach before, during and after? I did the mineral test and candida, metabolic, mineral test December. I have some deficiencies (B12, C) I think it is from tooth infection I have going.and some bacteria overgrowth, I think. I don’t have any issues really, but my body is probably fighting hard. I am 44y old. 25%fat. 148lbs. (Not sure if that helps;)) Exercise (resistance training) almost daily and have job where I move all the time. So I am quite active. I do infrared sauna (higher doze) almost daily. Thank you so much Renata   Karim: If the stool test and OAT do not show yeast/candida and oral health is on point (tongue scraping/floss/oil pulling), what would another reason be for white coated tongue?

2220: Stomach Bleeding, Sea Moss, Mold Levels, HCL & H. Pylori, Osteopenia, Hooked Shaped Rash (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Anonymous: If you or a family member were diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus and put on omeprazole at a very high dose to stop stomach bleeds but has since caused incredible iron deficiency where you have to have it intravenously supplemented, what would you do?   Sarah:  Hi Dr Cabral! Happy New Year to you and your family, I’m incredibly grateful to have found you and your wealth of information that you provide for the improved health of our world. As an ICU nurse of 10 years I am so incredibly grateful to be in your IHP course and learning other more pure and healthful ways to care for people by keeping them out of the hospital and hopefully heading off chronic illness and disease. My question is what are your thoughts about sea moss as a dietary supplement? As long as it is of course very cleanly and purely grown and harvested? It’s said to have a myriad of benefits including vitamins and minerals as well as appetite suppression and GI regulation, but I have been wondering about your thoughts on it for awhile. Thanks so much and have a wonderful day!   Angie: I recently ran the Mold lab with Great Plaines - MycoTox report with my naturopathic doctor and it showed elevated levels of Aspergillus Ochratoxin A at level 15.87. I had a consultation with her and she didn’t think my levels were high enough to do a mold protocol. Back story, I have struggled with bloating, constipation and a rash on the back of my head for years that started after living with my mother in laws house who did have mold. I have eradicated parasites and HPylori, but I still don’t feel well. If I stay on a strict Candida diet I feel better, but I had vinegarette the other day and the rash on my head intensified. I don’t want to just manage my symptoms, but get to the root of the problem. I say all this because I’d like to do your mold protocol to get the fungus back in control, but with my levels do you suggest I do that? I am currently doing the CBO finisher.   Michael: Hi Dr Cabral, I had a question regarding HCL. I keep hearing not to take HCL when you have a h pylori infection. But about if someone has h pylori and sibo?   Yasmin: I am a 57 year old female and have recently been experiencing lower back pain and decided to get some tests.done. I was diagnosed with osteopenia. Was prescribed 50,000 iu of vitamin d and some calcium, zinc and magnesium supplements. My question is, is there any treatment that I can follow that will reverse the osteopenia? And any other advice you can give me. My grandmother had osteoporosis and my mother was borderline. Thank you so much . Have been listening to your podcasts which I came across recently. Jasmin   Shane: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have experienced the last 3 years a discomfort / slight pain on the right side of my head, neck / shoulder mostly feel it behind my right ear and top of head especially when i wake up along with my right hand feeling cold and stiff when I wake up. I also have a 4 inch hook shaped rash on the right side of my neck recently right behind my ear. After being diagnosed with a fatty liver and gallstones. I have done multiple liver and gallbladder flushes and have got out thousands of stones which has improved my symptoms and health immensely! Also have done the big 5 labs and have Candida Overgrowth, SIBO, but interesting I didn't have any food sensitivities which I was curious can you have a leaky gut and not have any food sensitivities? I also ordered the stool test recently so will be doing that as well to see if I have any other imbalances. Also starting the CBO Protocol in the next month so I was just curious do you think this could be my vagus nerve being overactive due to the imbalance in my body causing my right side of my head, neck and shoulders to have discomfort and pain? I workout 6 times a week, eat a balanced plant based diet, take supplements, get chiropractor and acupuncture care so just curious what else to do? Thank You for all you do!

Mold is one of the top 5 stealth pathogens that affect people’s health without them even realizing it’s at the root cause of their dis-ease…   Mold spores are mainly invisible to the naked eye and it’s usually only uncovered after removing ventilation, drywall, or looking at the top mold causing foods…   It’s one of the reasons why I like to bring attention to the topic and share real-world, case studies like today’s #CabralConcept 2218 on mold toxicity and how it often shows up as low mood, low energy, and high levels of inflammation - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2218 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2217: Is This Why Most People Are Unwell & Unhappy? (WW)

While we may be able to keep people alive longer thanks to medical technology we are certainly not improving people's quality of life.   This means that people are being diagnosed with diseases at younger and younger ages every year and most people are on a cocktail of medications by the time they reach their 50s.   So for essentially half of an adult's life they will be medicated for a chronic condition that could most likely have been mitigated by implementing certain lifestyle factors that no one ever shared with them.   That’s why and today’s #CabralConcept 2217 I’d like to share with you what the research shows for why most people are unwell and unhappy - hopefully you get some knowledge out of the show and share with anyone you believe it could help!    - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2217 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2216: The Brain Fog & Gut Connection (TWT)

As an Integrative Health Practitioner it's interesting to see how a person's digestive system influences so many aspects of their health…   Although it may not seem obvious at first the gut and digestion actually affect the brain (and entire body) even though they are two separate entities…   And on today’s #CabralConcept 2216, based on the latest research-backed up by clinical practice, I'd like to share with you how brain fog and the gut connection are linked - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2216 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2214: Low WBCs, High Heart Rate at Night, Food Symptoms, Light Headed Bend Over, Libido Booster, Losing Hair, Intracranial Hypertension (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I am looking to improve my immune defenses against a 'certain virus' and am concerned that my white blood cell count is sub-optimal (4,000/ul) despite my otherwise good health. I suspect this may be a hangover from having VERY low WBC levels after contracting dengue fever 5 years ago. Is increasing my WBC something I should be exploring and what can I do to get my count up?   Lorena: Thank you so much for all you do for your community! Not sure if you remember but I asked here a few weeks ago regarding my elevated heart rate at night according to my Oura ring and that I started to experience a lot of neurological symptoms (similar to MCAS) such as anxiety, heart palpitations and pseudoseizures at the same time. You mentioned that I should check my cortisol levels at night (which I did and was slightly elevated in the PM and low in the AM). I'm a Vata level 1 and 2 IHP so I literally ran all of the labs that you can imagine as I was very confused as to what was going on. Hormones, heavy metals, stool, OAT, neurotransmitters + more. Everything was fine except some candida/mould overgrowth as well as elevated toxic metals. I started the CBO again (last one was over a year ago) + heavy metal detox + 21 day detox all at the same time lol. Anyways, I haven't felt any neurological symptoms after just a couple of days of starting these protocols. I can't figure out how this would have happened. Surely 2 days worth of protocols is not enough to stop these symptoms (very happy though). Any idea why?   Lorena: Hi Doc, me again! I forgot to mention that I also ran a precision allergy test by Precision Point Diagnostics because they test IgE, IgG, IgG4 and complement (C3d) from blood serum. It's much more expensive so not very affordable for a lot of people. Anyways, a lot of things came up and I also eliminated the ones in the red section of my IgE and IgG (vanilla, banana & more) at the same time that I started all the protocols. A lot of them showed in the IgE section and these were foods that I was consuming on a daily basis when I was having all of those symptoms. Do you think it might have been the removal of these foods that caused the relief of symptoms so quickly? If so, it's crazy how consuming foods you're sensitive to from an IgE and IgG perspective can do to you! I always thought this wasn't a big deal but it clearly is.    Nina: Hi doctor Cabral, I get very lightheaded every time I bend down to pick up something. Do you know why this is happening? I do have a low blood pressure, so maybe that could have something to do with it, but I really want to know if there's anything else that could be causing it. I also always feel cold, especially in my extremities. Just to give you some background, I'm a 44 year old female, no kids, vegan and pretty active. Thanks so much for your answer, I really appreciate your help! Nina   Farrel: Hello, Dr Cabral. I trust you and your family are in great health. Listening to older episodes and about two years ago on a House call segment you were asked about Tongkat Ali and it's use for athletes and men in their 30's. You went on to say there's a product your team will be launching around September 2020 called Libido Booster. I purchase from the site and I've never seen it. Has the launch been put on hold or it won't be released? Keep up great work.   Andjela: Hello Dr!! Thanks for your information! Love following you on Instagram. I had covid (delta) in October 2021, and now 3 months later experiencing hair loss. So are many of my relatives who all had it at the same time. Any suggestions on remedies?   Danielle: Hello Dr. Cabral,Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in functional medicine. I’ve read your book twice and have no doubt I’ll read it again. I listen to this podcast daily and am awaiting the arrival of the minerals and metals test. My question is related to IIH. (I understand the medical advice disclaimer) Are there any natural ways to reduce pressure in the head? I do not want a LP. How else can I reduce excess fluid? I do take L-Lysine and well as a long list of other supplements daily. I’m also taking Goduchi and Triphala as herbal support and am on 2 pharmaceuticals as well, which Id love to come off of, safely, of course. Thanks so much for your time.

2213: Health Coach Career, POTS & Histamines, Chronic Cough, Nauseous After Workout, Viral Symptoms, Night Sweats & Sugar (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Savanna: Thanks dr cabral for sharing your message! My question today has to do with studying functional medicine. Because I am a young mom I don't really have the time or resources to go to school to become a functional medicine dr. I'm wondering where you would suggest to start if that is ultimately my goal. I've looked into IHP a little bit and also the institute of integrative nutrition. I want something I can be certified in that I can help people and they'll take me seriously. I hope one day to get a higher education but for now what would you suggest would be a good place to start that would take less than 4 years to see results and be able to work with? Hope that makes senses thanks again!   Thien: Over the years from your podcast, I’ve learned the importance of omega 3s. I have high triglycerides and I also have POTS. I’ve noticed a connection of being light headed anytime I take a fish oil supplement . I’m not sure if it thins the blood or causes your blood pressure to become lower but I seem to not be able to tolerate any brand (adult or kids dosage ). Is this common? I know every doctor will throw omega 3s or statins as a means to lower cholesterol but it isn’t working for me . What can I do to lower triglycerides that don’t involve a supplement (I’ve tried most without success ; bergamot , Guggul , RYE)? I exercise , eat clean, and sleep well. I’m also premenopausal, so I don’t know if this is a reason for my sudden high triglycerides . Thank you so much! In good health   Jessica: Hi! I’m writing in about my 5 year old son who has a chronic cough. This is something that has been going on since he was very young. I'd love to hear what your thoughts are on "neurological chronic cough", to see if this is a possibility of what is going on with him and what your recommendations would be from a natural / Ayurvedic perspective. Thank you!   Tina: My sweet cousin is a long hauler. Months later she still has no taste and smell. Is this symptom not going away because of her rain barrel maybe being full? Is there anything she can do to get it back? Thank you so much!!   Kenzie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’m not sure if you can answer this or have any ideas but I have gotten no answers from my doctors. I have noticed I get nauseous after workouts. Not immediately after but later on or even days after. I was nauseous a ton last year, stopped working out for a few months and it went away. Back to working out and it’s back. It almost feels like vertigo nausea. It’s all in the head. I feel fine during the workout and all I am doing is light weights and walking. Any ideas or things I should test for? I am positive for h pylori. Thank you.   Mariana: Why do I get night sweats when I eat sugar?

2207: Exercise Exhaustion, Wellness Retreats, Intestinal Scar Tissue, Chocolate Cysts, Earthing Sheets, Walking Was Enough (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Solina: Hi Dr. Cabral! Female in my late 20s. I grew up running (and love it) and I’ve had to stop because of horomone (low progesterone) and adrenal issues. I’ve worked with a IHP health coach, following a protocol of adrenal soothe, lower impact workouts (resistance, weights, walking) but I really miss running. For context, I like semi-long distance at 5-8 miles, but whenever I run (even 2-3 miles) I get exhausted. Any suggestions on how I can get back to running at least 1-2x per week? It also helps me lose weight much more seamlessly than strength. Thank you!!   Tina: Hello and thank you for everything you do for us! This year I would love to go to a wellness, retreat center somewhere in the United States that incorporates pretty much everything that you believe. Do you know of a place or can you recommend a place to go to that can assist me in my health journey? Also have you ever considered hosting a retreat, wellness week or weekend? If you did I definitely would attend. Thank you so much!   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have struggled many years with chronic constipation, trapped gas, and bloating. I have seen several "specialists" and received CT scans, x-rays, colonoscopies, etc. only to have them shrug their shoulders. During the imaging, doctors noticed several areas that appeared to be scar tissue and always asked if I had "been shot" or had abdominal surgery, neither of which I have. Dietary intervention has helped with additional post prandial symptoms, but the symptoms prevail nonetheless. My question is with regard to abdominal adhesions, or scar tissue, without having had surgery. I understand this is common following intra abdominal procedures, but am curious as to how it could develop on its own. Is it possibly a result of spending years being constantly bloated and distended? For some context, I am 27, workout daily, and seem to manage stress well through my day-to-day. I am currently awaiting results from the Complete Gut Bacteria & Parasite test. Also, I have been seeing a physical therapist for over a year that specializes in visceral manipulation and lymphatic flow and they are certain the scar tissue is the culprit. Their treatments have helped but not entirely resolved issues. Sorry for the lengthy question, and I truly appreciate and value your response.   Pauline: Hello Dr Cabral, I had severe endometriosis before and had surgery to remove them including 2 big chocolate cysts and a whole lot of adhesions in my pelvic region. Now, I even lost one tube and it looks like my other ovary is stucked to my uterus. It may be due to endo again or scar tissues from 2 surgeries. My other ovary has chocolate cyst again - found out after my 2nd ivf procedure....which failed. I came across serrapeptase as a supplement to clear blocked tubes. I am wondering if this can help with adhesions and chocolate cycts too? Age is catching up on me and I can't wait to be a mother. Have been trying for a few years without avail. I am looking forward to your reply. Hopeful, Pauline     Sam: Hi doctor Cabral,What do you think about earthing sheets? I live in a big city and can’t really go barefoot on a daily - or even a weekly base, so sleeping on one of those sheets sounds like a great solution. Before investing in it, I wanted to hear your opinion because I trust your judgement and knowledge greatly. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts about it! Thank you! Sam   Sylvia: Hi doctor Cabral, First of all, thank you for this incredible podcast. I’m learning so much about my health, it’s incredible! Secondly, I wanted to tell you that one positive thing that these difficult past two years have brought me, is that I have more time to walk. My average step count for the last year has been whopping 19500, which is incredible(!!). I haven’t lost a huge amount of weight, but I feel amazing and am in the best shape of my life. Now that we are getting back to the normal schedules, I won’t be able to walk as much, so I’m a bit concerned that I’m going to gain weight and not feel as great. What do you think? How bad will it be to get back to my normal 10K? And how many steps should I try to take in order to keep my great results from the past two years? Thank you! You are amazing!

2206: Febrile Seizures, Missing Vitamins, Uric Acid, Shoe Lift, Titanium Dioxide, Maintaining Vegan Lifestyle (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral- First I would like to thank you for everything you do. You have educated me so much and changed my life for the better. I have a three year old daughter who was diagnosed with febrile seizures at the age of two. If she catches a virus or infection at school (very common) and gets a fever to spike quickly she can have a febrile seizure. Fevers as low as 101 can cause these. While terrifying when they are happening we have been told around 5% of children have this condition and they typically go away around age 5 or 6 and is nothing to be worried about. The pediatrician and neurologist have told us this. When these fevers occur we spend one to two days constantly giving her Tylenol and motrin to bring the fever down. We are constantly testing the temperature and if it gets above 99, it causes us great anxiety that a seizure is coming. I am looking for what the root causes could be here to try and prevent them from occurring and how to possibly bring the fever down without constantly pumping her with drugs. Basically if this was your daughter what would you do? Based on what I have learned from you there has to be a root cause here and some type of action we can take.   Victoria: Hi Dr Cabral. I tend to eats lots of raw nuts like Almonds and seeds I’m very active and it doesn’t makes me fats I eat very healthy No sugar takes al the vitamins from your practice But I’m wondering if Therese is something I’m missing Thank you   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to get your thoughts on how to effectively identify the root cause and reduce high uric acid. I had a Uric acid level of over 10 and made some lifestyle changes including losing 50lbs, reducing alcohol intake and taking tart cherry extract to reduce it. I was only able to reduce it to 9.6 so my doctor put me on Allopurinol as he said since I have had a gout attack (one time) it should test below 6 to avoid future attacks. He told me that sometimes the medication is the only thing that can keep this to below 6 due to genetic disposition. I wanted to get your thoughts on how to reduce this naturally and/or ID what is causing this. What would you do if you were faced with this situation? I don't want to be on this medication for the rest of my life and I figured there had to be something naturally I could do or at least try. Thanks!   Trevor: Dr Cabral sir, My name is Trevor and I am one of your IHP students currently healing my body. I was just told I need to put in a lift in my shoe due to hip displacement and believed to be the length of my legs. I did fracture my growth plate in my ankle when I was 17, and I am now 32. Is there anyway for my body to heal back to normal and not need the lift? Thank you very much   Sage: Hi doctor Cabral, I am very health conscious and try to eat clean and organic food most of the time. To my horror, I discovered that the supplement that I’ve been using for a few months contained Titanium Dioxide, which is apparently unsafe and can cause cancer. Do you know if this is correct? It’s said to be accumulating in the body tissues and I really want to get it out of my body ASAP. What would be the best way to do this? Thanks so much for your help! Love your podcast, keep up the amazing work! Sage   Molly: Hi doctor Cabral, I have an important question for you: I have been a vegan for about 10 years now, and I'll be honest - I'm doing it more for health benefits, rather than the ethical/environmental ones. Lately, I've been thinking about maybe adding fish and or eggs tp my diet, in order to boost the omega 3', choline, B12 protein and other nutrients naturally, rather than using the supplements. It's really difficult to make this decision though, as being vegan has become a bit of an identity for me and I've built a business and some great relationships because of it. I’m afraid of losing that if I’m no longer considered “vegan”. In your professional opinion, what would you advise? Staying fully vegan or adding eggs/fish once a week. I know it's a difficult question, but my health is very important to me and there are few people I trust more than you when it comes to the health advice. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and I'm grateful for you and all you do!

2200: CARP, High Secretory IgA, Stubborn Vitamin D Levels, Peeling Lips, Detox Nausea, Australian Labs (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Nycole: Hi Dr Cabral, I love the podcast and your positive energy, thank you for all your work!I have spots on my skin called CARP, confluent and reticulated papillomatosis. I have had them for 3 years, wondering where it comes from and what to do about it. I eat a mostly paleo diet and recently strictly gluten free due to celiac. Thanks! Rebecca: I’m looking for information on an elevated secretory IGa, my results were >6000 Anti-Gliiadin IgA was >500 Occult blood 77 I had a gi map test completed by a different company and I don’t feel like they understood the results. I’m concerned about celiac and will start removing gluten from my diet. And get a FOBT from PCP. Just looking for more insight on the elevated IgAs Thank You so very much, I have spent a small fortune and don’t feel like I got the best support or answers to my labs. The health coach said she had never seen such high IgA,s before As well I’m enrolled in the IHP 1&2 program, just signed up 2 weeks ago. Maria: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have a question in regards to vitamin D levels. I have had my levels tested 4 times over the last 9 months. I can’t get my levels to budge from 30-35. I was supplementing with 5000 IU of the EquiLife drops and then bumped up to 10000 IU two months before my last test, but to no avail. I have listened to your podcast on the cofactors for vitamin D absorption many times. I use the DNS powder daily, so I’m getting all the other vitamins and minerals you mention in that podcast that are required for absorption. I had been taking my vitamin D at breakfast with my morning smoothie which contains 1-2 tablespoons of seeds. I just started taking it at lunch time instead and also started supplementing with additional K2 (MK7) at that time as well. I live in the Midwest, so sunlight vitamin D is really only possible from June-September. Not sure what else I can do to get my levels up. I am on month 1 of the CBO finisher, after completion of CBO protocol. I’m sure poor gut absorption has had something to do with it? Any other advice on how to get my levels up or why my levels haven’t budged at all?! Do you have a favorite vitamin D light that you recommend? Karen: Dear Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your podcast and the easy way you get the information out about having good health. I am 62 and in the best health of my life thanks to many changes I have made. 10 years ago, I switched to a gluten free diet, the change it made in how I felt was amazing. Since then, I have been devouring books on health, and continuing to modify my diet and exercise. I am now dairy free, (a recent change) and eat very little sugar products. At 62 I am back to the weight I was when I graduated from high school! My question for you is about a condition I have on my lower lip, it has been there for about 25 years in varying degrees, and is called Actinic Cheilitis. It is a continual sloughing of skin cells on my lower lip, sometimes it is mildly painful, and is worse in the winter months. My dermatologist gave me a cream to treat it, a strong pharmaceutical that actually works by destroying the skin. I went through 1 round of this and couldn’t tolerate the cream. The pain and ugliness on my lip was awful and I experienced body aches, headaches and couldn’t sleep, a condition that is a rare side effect of this cream. As this is considered a pre-cancerous condition, I need to do something. I appreciate any suggestions you have. Dawn: I started the 7 day detox and after the 3rd shake, I felt nauseous? Is this normal? Should I continue on? Bettina: Hi Stephen thank you for your podcast, i only recently started listening to you. I got your rRain Barrel book and the 14 day detox. would love to have the tests done however with the $ exchange and taxes it get really expensive. can you suggest any labs in Brisbane or Gold Coast that you would recommend. looking forward to hearing from you. sincerely Bettina Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/2200 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2199: Zinc & Magnesium Stack, Thrombosis, Tartar Build Up, Toxic Cooking Pans, Stubborn Gut Issues (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Yasmin: 1. I was listening to your podcast about zinc.. I take a supplement of a combined version which includes calcium/magnesium and zinc. Would that be a good supplement to take? Samantha: I developed what I thought were varicose veins in my upper thighs and behind my knees. I was so blown away because I am not overweight or pregnant or elderly or sitting or standing for long periods of time. I just heard that one of the symptoms of covid is thrombosis. I am wondering if these sometimes painful itchy veins could be thrombosis and how I could treat them naturally? Marcie: Hi Dr Cabral! Bless you for sharing vital health information with the world! My question: i am 55 and in good health. I supplement daily with zinc, copper, C D quercetin, b complex, A and magnesium. About 7 weeks ago I started having a cycle of cluster headaches. I started on verapamil daily and plan to wean off now that the headaches have stopped. These come every 2-3 years. I feel like I heard you make a side comment in one of your house call questions about tartar on teeth, but I’ve searched and haven’t come up with anything. Can you share what might be the cause of tartar buildup. I’m not sure what had changed but over the last couple of months I seem to quickly get tartar build up after brushing w my electric tooth brush and also cleaning with a dental tool. My curiosity is about the root cause which I thought I heard you say something about a lack of cod liver oil in the diet. My dentist is always amazed at how healthy my mouth is and how little cleaning needs to be done! I’ve also heard something about K2 in relation to this issue. Thank you for your time! Tiffany: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently purchased new pans (Caraway. I came across an article shortly after stating that the pans tested positive for 20 metals. Any advice? https://tamararubin.com/2021/08/caraway-cookware-without-the-chemicals-tested-positive-for-20-metals-including-lead-mercury-cobalt-antimony-when-tested-with-xrf-technology/ Lorena: What are you thoughts on pickled Japanese ginger? I love having these with my meals in Japanese restaurants so I want to make sure that they are healthy haha. Absolutely love your podcast! Rachel: Hello! I have been dealing with leaky gut and food sensitivities for a long time after clearing sibo. I have removed gluten, had a stool test, dutch test, and micronutrients test but things are not getting better with treatment. We are looking into food sensitivities more, but I had a test done two years ago and am afraid there's another underlying issue. What would you do next? Thanks for everything you do.

2193: Bladder Control, Decreased Bile, PCOS & Weight Gain, Protein Digestion, Thin Stools, NP Thyroid Pros & Cons (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Tina:What are your thoughts on surgical mesh for bladder control? and is there an healthy alternative ? Ao curious what the root cause is for the sudden urination? Thank you so much!!!!   Jenna: I was dealing with decreased bile production, or a blockage of the bile ducts I'm not really sure, and wasn't feeling well for about a week. It was obvious that my body was not digesting fats due to the low bile as I had pale or yellow colored stool. During this time although I didn't feel great, my bloating which I have been trying to solve the mystery of for the last 15 years just magically disappeared. It was completely gone. I didn't change my diet at all. To me, this experience showed me that the root cause of my bloating is a digestive process malfunction rather than SIBO, Candida, etc. Could it be that the act of breaking down fats in my system is what causes the bloating? And when i did not have the bile to properly digest the fats, this meant the bloating did not occur? The reason I ask is because I fixed the bile issue and the bloating is back!   Amanda: Hi Dr Cabral! I am a 29 year old female who has been diagnosed with PCOS since the age of 18. Initially doctors would always tell me the same thing, lose weight and get on birth control. I've the past 11 years my body has always been in a constant battle with weight gain and loss. I have symptoms which include stubborn facial hair, belly fat, and darker pigmentation under my arms etc. In 2019 I went dairy and gluten free which has helped tremendously with my inflammation however on special occasions I have some and pay for it as my menstrual cycle is delayed. I have very low sex drive if nothing at all and I want that to change for myself and my partner. I have already done a 21 day Detox. Am doing fatlossity currently. Just wanted some advice on how to help with this facial hair, darker skin and low sex drive. ( I take t quench and estrogen balance and haven't noticed a difference) Doctor has taken blood and I do not have diabetes or hashimotos yet. Any advice is appreciated and thank you for all that you do!   Karen: Can't thank you enough for always being a go-to resource for accurate information. It is so appreciated! I am trying to increase my daily protein intake by combining bone broth and a hydrolyzed whey powder into my daily smoothie. Would taking a proteolytic enzyme help me to better digest these proteins or is the fact that they are being ingested in a liquid form already make their proteins more available for absorption? I don't want to waste money on proteolytic enzymes if they aren't necessary. Any other recommendations for increasing protein absorption?   Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral I have tested positive for h pylori and mold toxicity. I noticed a few months ago that I'm not forming stools normally. The stools are short and thin. What could cause this? What supplements could someone take to help with this?   Lina: What is your thoughts on taking NP thyroid long-term?

2192: Antibodies, Stubborn Weight Gain, Barking Dry Cough, Night Time Peeing, Step B Positive, Advanced Illness (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Nicole: Hi Doctor C! I am very curious about antibodies. This is obviously a hot topic now, but as you know, antibodies are residual from any virus. My question is how and why some people have antibodies for x amount of time and others have them for more or less. Now that there is a common way for people to blood test this, I find it so interesting that a year later I still have antibodies and some of my friends test negative that had the same thing as me. I take a lot of supplements, eat a lot of colors and prioritize my sleep and sweat - do you think these things can at all contribute to the lifespan of antibodies? Or is there any fun science you could share about this topic? Your podcast is my favorite, thank you in advance!   Lauren: First I want to say that your dedicated work is a God send! For the past 2 yrs. I’ve dealt the symptoms of thyroid problems. I’m undiagnosed- regardless of how many conventional “specialists” I’ve seen, they say my labs are “normal”, acknowledge my symptoms, and send me on my way without help. My problem: 30 pounds of weight gain in 1.5 years that I CANNOT lose no matter what I try/do. I’m extremely conscientious about the quality of food supplements I put into my body (no fillers, dyes, organic, non gmo, etc). I recently (the past 5 months) have been taking magnesium, zinc, pre/probiotic as suggested in a previous podcast. This has helped some with energy but not weight loss. Other symptoms: BRAIN FOG, occasional debilitating mental motivation to do anything, STRESS, hair loss, no energy, wired but tired at night (taking magnesium and zinc at night helps now), etc…. If there were only two EquiLife tests that should I take to figure out what’s going on with me, which would be the first and second? Also for women, what is the best time of the month and day to give specimens for the hormone test to optimize the results? Also, what are some critical vit./min. to heal/reboot my system? Thank you and God bless!   Josh: Hi Dr Cabral! My 6 year old son got covid 7 weeks ago. He had one day of fever and seemed better, but he has this dry cough since then. It sounds like a bark and gets worse when he runs. We have tried many things both natural and conventional, and nothing is helping. Because we did not know he had covid, he was put under anesthesia for a dental procedure and I worry that made things worse for him. What can I do to help him heal. Thank you for all that you do!   Shane: Hi Dr Cabral  I’m curious what would make me go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times a night. I eat very healthy well balanced planted based diet with all my macros and micros. I also exercise every morning and have 2 to 3 bowel movements a day. I get plenty of water and stop eating and drinking before 7pm and go to bed by 10 and wake up around 6am. I’m getting some good sleep just not great since I’m getting up to much. I have done my big 5 labs and have Candida Overgrowth and SIBO. So wondering if this is what is causes me to get up 2 to 3 times a night to urinate since my body is not balanced yet? Also it’s strange because my right hand usually feels colder than my left just another random symptom I’m trying to get to the bottom of. I will be doing the 21 day detox and CBO Protocol next month so hoping this will help me balance my body and have a better night sleep where I can sleep thru the night. Just curious your thoughts on this matter. Thanks so much! Appreciate all you do! Shane   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have a hypothetical situation that I hope I never encounter, but if I do, I'm hoping to be armed with your best advice! As someone who has completed the CBO protocol in the past and is now planning another pregnancy, I'm concerned what would happen if I tested positive on the 3rd trimester Strep B test. As I'm sure you're aware, this is a routine check done on all pregnant women to make sure they don't have Strep B bacteria prior to childbirth, since it can cause serious complications to newborns. Everything I read says antibiotics are the treatment for this. As someone who has had SIBO and Candida in the past and has already completed the CBO protocol, what would the best course of action be if I find myself in this situation? It may be one of those situations where antibiotics are a necessity to protect the baby, however, what can I do to help protect my gut during this time? I searched and searched your podcast archives and couldn't find this question, so hopefully I'm not making you answer a question you already have in the past!   Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you so much for all you do for the community and sharing your wisdom with the world. I’m completing my studies for IHP level 1 and Level 2 at this time and I also work as an Occupational Therapist in the hospital setting. Over the years, I have seen more and more chronic illness (a big reason why I’m studying IHP!) that is so debilitating to patients…which leads me to my question... Is there ever a time you feel like an illness is too advanced for rebalancing the body through an integrative health model? Do you feel like there is ever a point of little to no return to homeostasis? Thank you again— you are a gem to all you serve!

We’re all predisposed to something… The question is what auto-immune issue are your genetics most likely susceptible to if your body becomes imbalanced?    To be honest though, regardless of how you answer above, it is, for the most part, meaningless if you keep your body healthy and balanced…   And one of the ways that we know people become susceptible to auto-immune issues is through an imbalanced microbiome (unhealthy intestinal bacteria)…    And as you may have guessed already, much of that bacteria is affected by what we eat and consume…   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2188, I’d like to share some new research on autoimmune dis-eases and the diet connection discovery - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2188 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2187: How to Make It Happen Faster (Goal Manifestation) (MM)

One of the most amazing parts of goal manifestation is how much we are the determining factor in the outcome of the timeline.   By that, I mean that it is we who ultimately decide how quickly we will achieve something based on our preconceived notions of how long it should take.   Sometimes this is based on reality, but more often it is simply enabling cultural norms to dictate how fast we can make our goals happen.   For more information on how to make your goals come to life faster check out today's #CabralConcept 2187 - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2187 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2186: Yeast & BV Infections, MUD WTR, Addison’s Disease, Throat Locks Up, Tension Headaches, Marijuana & Pupil Dilation (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Krystina: For as long as I can remember, I get recurring yeast infections and BV. I generally flip-flop between the two. I know it is a common problem for many women. I am assuming I have candida overgrowth, but what can I actually do to solve this? In addition, I am currently pregnant and having to treat a yeast infection now every 2-3 weeks. My doctor says to just keep treating it, but it is having a dramatic effect on my life. Keep in mind that I will be breastfeeding in a month or so. Jeffrey:Hello Dr. Steve, I'm grateful for you generosity and the expansion you create in the world! Could you please add a review of the coffee alternative product called MUD/WTR? I'm curious as to your professional and personal evaluation. With gratitude, Jeffrey Becky: Are you the NP that reversed your Addison’s disease? Did you have primary or secondary and how did you do it? Do you have protocols or recommendations to support the body for primary adrenal insufficiency? Alex: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am super thankful for your continued work and service to the world. My question is regarding swallowing pills. I have this mental block where whenever I try to swallow a pill, my throat just locks up and I swallow the water but the pill will stay there in my mouth. Any tips, advice, or resources for moving past this? I was able to swallow -meds- a few months ago since it was so tiny. Thank you for your time and presence. Michael: Can h pylori and gastritis cause Tension headaches? Lara: Good day! I'm obsessed with your podcast, I listen to it every day. I wanted to understand how marijuana is known to dilate the pupils. Wouldn't it be the other way around? I thought marijuana would activate the parasympathetic state and we know that dilation of pupils is related to the sympathetic state which doesn't make a lot of sense!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/2186 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2185: Specific Diets, Maltodextrin, Relieving Histamines, HRV Down, Mastic Gum Dosing, Chlorella Chelating Power (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Dianna: Hello, I am a Pitta/Vata. There was no female celebrity as an example. I am 65 and trying to lose the last 30lbs. I usually follow low carb (meat) due to having gluten intolerance, grain intolerance. I have difficulty trying to fast. Do you recommend a specific diet? thanks. Andrea: I hope you're having a great day! My question is about maltodextrin. There are great functional medicine brands out there but I've noticed that sometimes supplements contain maltodextrin when using an extract of something (i.e. ginger root extract). What are your thoughts of maltodextrin in these situations? Maria: Hey Dr. Cabral! After 10 months of chronic hives (No other histamine symptoms. I was diagnosed with autoimmune based hives), I did the Big 5 and after consulting with 1 of your health coaches, I started CBO protocol, citricidal drops, thyroid support, adrenal sooth, vit D3, and Omega 3s. I'm on my last week of the CBO and will start the CBO finisher immediately after for 3 months. During this time I've seen improvement in my hives (98% gone), I've been able to get off of all my pharmaceuticals except for 1 biologic injection that I still get bi-weekly. I've been following the Sensitive Gut Guide, but also sticking to a low histamine diet (which unfortunately eliminates a lot of the foods on the SGG). My question is if you think I can truly heal myself from this or if I'll always live with this issue, and I'll just have to learn to manage it through strict lifestyle and diet like I have the last 3 months? Even though I've been doing better, I'm terrified to stray from the SGG or low histamine diet for fear that the hives may return. I'd love to be able to enjoy a cheat meal or even high histamine foods on the SGG. Any thoughts or words of hope?! How long did it take you to fully heal all your histamine based issues? Rosie: Hi Dr Cabral! I’ve been loving your podcast. Honestly, there’s nothing like it out there. Question: My HRV has fallen dramatically the last 3 months. I track it with Oura. It used to be around 70 and now it has been consistently on the 30-40s. Mental stress has not changed and I actually stopped working out so hard. Just sticking to 10k daily steps plus some band resistance training. However I’ve ran a HTMA and OAT and heavy metals and yeast showed up. This was not present when I ran this a year ago after I completed CBO. But I guess I caused myself yeast overgrowth again Do you think this can cause HRV to go down? Heart rate has also been elevated during sleep too! Very weird. Basically my readiness has been terrible the past 3 months. Lewis: Please is pure mastic gum taken before meals or after meals Breanna: In your heavy metal detox protocol you use chlorella to bind the heavy metals. In a different course I am currently taking, I am being taught that if someone has silver fillings you want to stay away from chlorella because it will pull it out of the mouth. Have you heard of this? Would you suggest other binders if this is the case?

2179: Froggy Throat, Keep Weight on During Detox, Stretch Marks, Asthma Eye Twitching, Asthma, Swollen Ankle (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Dianne: I have, what I call, an occasional froggy throat. No amount of attempting to clear my throat nor coughing helps. I live alone and don't realize I don't have much of a voice until I get on the phone or go shopping, which doesn't help in determining if it is strictly morning or night. Thanks for any suggestion you have, Allie: Hello! Thank you so much for answering my question. I’ve struggled with gaining weight my whole life. During pregnancy I’m able to pack on a good 40 lbs but then I loose it all quickly and then some. Currently weighing in at 94 lbs and I’m 5’8”. Do you have any ideas as to what I might try in order to gain more weight while keeping a healthy diet? Also, I’d love to try the 7 or 14 day detox but am concerned with losing more weight. Do you have any suggestions in doing the detox for someone with my concern? Thank you so much for taking the time to help! Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral I have a question regarding stretch marks & hyperpigmentation. What are your thoughts on getting rid of stretch marks. And getting rid of hyperpigmentation from neck and knees, will micro needling/derma rolling help get rid of hyperpigmentation and stretch marks, or is laser the only option for good results? Thanks Erin: Hello! I love these podcasts; they are so so helpful. I’ve been wandering...Is there a root cause to asthma? Thank you! Susan: Hi! I’m 50 yo female who takes generally good care of myself. My right eye has been twitching several times a day for at least the last seven weeks. I don’t have any other symptoms and a recent eye exam (just prior to the twitching) was healthy. I take magnesium and other anti inflammatory supplements. I have struggled with monthly hormonal headaches- and often have neck tightness/pain particularly the muscle between my shoulder and neck. I also tend to clench my teeth at night but not significantly enough to cause jaw pain or tooth issues. Could I have somehow injured or stressed the muscles in my face/eyes? I do use blue light glasses and have cut down screen time but the twitch remains!! I do yoga and exercise moderately most days and get enough sleep and do not have high levels of stress. So what gives with this twitch!! Thanks so much in advance!! Noelle: 3 years ago I woke up in the middle of the night and wasn’t able to walk. I wasn’t able to put any pressure on my ankle. I saw multiple doctors whoeither said my x-rays showed nothing or said I just don’t remember injuring myself. Twitches even put my ankle in excruciating pain. I wore a boot for three months and after three months I could barely put enough pressure on my ankle to be able to walk.3 yrs later the pain is gone but comes &goes every 3months but the swelling is still there and looks like I have a cankle. since then about every 3-6 months the swelling and joint pain to other joints. It next went to my knee and I woke up again in the middle of the night and couldn’t put pressure on my knee. Then 3 months later it went to my wrist and then my elbow then my upper back/shoulders/spine. These joints all have flare ups and days where I can’t sit up because my back hurts so bad:The worst one is my wrist where doing nothing hurts or getting dressed hurts or pulling a blanket over myself in bed hurts. I’ve been tested for rheumatoid arthritis,Lyme disease but both are neg. I’ve done detoxes and diet changes and I’ve noticed no difference. I’ve seen a functional dr,allergist, and still no answers.Wanted to see if you’ve heard of anything likethis or have suggestions?

2178: Ashwagandha & Thyroid, Crusty Eyes, Low Norepinephrine, Extended Period, What to Tackle First, Gallbladder Flush (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Andrea: I’ve heard that Ashwagandha can have a negative effect on the thyroid, leading to hypothyroidism, if taken for too long. Is this an herb that should be pulsed, or is this information untrue? Anonymous: Any advice for crusty eyes? Feels like it's a little sticky when I wake up. Never had this before! Cara: You are incredible, thank you so much for showing up every day for our community! I'm an IHP L2 female graduate (Vata/25 year old) and recently did a bunch of tests (saliva hormones test, stool test, food sensitivity, hair tissue test & neurotransmitters test due to feeling very wired, with muscle spasms, and anxious. Gut is great but the following showed up: Stage 5 adrenal fatigue, very low potassium, elevations in mercury, arsenic and other metals and apparently my serotonin is on the higher end (not out of range), low norepinephrine and low epinephrine (the ratio between them is high though so confused?). My question is: What can I do to fix my norepinephrine and epinephrine? Also, do you think the l-theanine from my daily matcha is causing the high serotonin? Should I stop? Anna: I am generally fit and healthy 35 y.o. woman, with long history of being vegetarian, who experienced 3 miscarriages (2 out of 3 was partial molar pregnancy). After all tests, supplemnetary plan, my period got completely crazy (it used to be every 30 days) and now I am bleeding for a month, it started on 10 day of my cycle. I have taken progresteron and excatyl to stop bleeding. Going on acupuncture. Nothing helps. Victoria: Hi Dr. Cabral. Looking forward to this response & hearing your mastery! Thank you for you time. My question is - what order should I heal the below issues? I have a lot of different issues going on. Long-term lyme (still currently positive for IGM and IGG w western blot) - never took antibiotics. High mold - very high in Aspergillus mycotoxins (Ochratoxin A & Gliotoxin) Ochratoxin levels - 21.19 MG/dl (normal range Dar: Have you ever done the andreas moritz liver and gall bladder flush? Wondering what your thoughts are on it. I've done it a few times. It ends with olive oil and grapefruit juice and having Epsom salt water to flush stones out.

2172: Passing Gas, Glutamine Issues, Fructose Malabsorption, Still Bloated, Elevated B12, Anxious Vata Type (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Anonymous: Hello doctor, I’d be grateful if you would provide your thoughts about my digestive concern. I pass gas often. Sometimes several times within an hour. It’s odorless. It’ll begin a couple hours after lunch and continue through the night. I pass a lot of gas in the mornings before having to go number 2. After that i won’t have excessive gas until after lunch again. I never feel bloated. I’m not gassy when fasting, it’s only after eating whole food meals. I drink a smoothie for breakfast. Lunch and dinner follows your weight maintenance plan from ihp. I eat plant based for 80% of my whole food meals. I take two digestive enzymes with each meal and I use extra enzymes when I eat beans. Thanks in advance for your response. Angie: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for your work and dedication to help people all over the world get well and feel alive again. I have done the detox, parasite protocol and am now doing the CBO protocol and am currently undergoing testing for mold toxicity through my local naturopathic doctor. I have two questions: 1). I will be doing the CBO Finisher after the CBO protocol. My body does not react well to glutamine and it gives me unexplained anxiety. I can take the FM detox levels, but not the 5G in the Healthy Gut Support. Why is that? Because of this, what dosage do you recommend me titrate until I can handle the 5G? 2). If I have high levels of mold and will likely need to repeat or lengthen my treatment, what do you recommend? Should I repeat month 1 and 2 again or continue only certain supplements until I get my levels down? Jen: I am curious why I urinate so much more after a smoothie, than just plain water. Whenever I have a smoothie, I am running to pee multiple times within the following 1-2 hours. I don't have this with water. Thank you! Emma: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have struggled for years with constipation, gas and bloating. I have tried everything in the book and the foods I have the hardest time digesting are vegetables and fruits. I struggle because I know how healthy they are for the gut and everything, but they just make me more constipated and bloated. What do you recommend? Lorena: I take the DNS everyday and recently have done a blood test in which serum vitamin B12 and serum folate were elevated. Does this means there's a deficiency or that I'm taking too much vitamin B? Lorena: I also forgot to ask that I recently did a hair tissue test that showed high magnesium (low potassium) & high zinc (copper normal). I take 400mg of magnesium citrate and 100mg of mag glycinate before bed and the balanced zinc every morning. As an anxious Vata, my body does well with magnesium. But now I’m not sure what to do. Should I stop taking magnesium and zinc?

2171: Missing Period, Childhood Trauma, Environmental Allergies, Sour Taste, Brown Spots, Regrow Hair (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have had amenorrhea for quite a long time. It first started when I lost a large amount of weight for a bodybuilding competition. This was 10 years ago. Over the years I was put on birth control to help try and regulate the period and "bring it on" however I didn't like the way that made me feel and I knew that was only putting a bandaid on the problem and not fixing the real issue. I have tried MANY different things to no avail. Fast forward to present day. In the last 2 years my period has started to return! My doctor says this is a great sign. Maybe my body is becoming more balanced? However it still is irregular. I've gotten it about 4-5 times a year the past two years, it lasts just a few days. The very hard part is I will experience pms symptoms for 3-4 weeks! Irritability, extreme bloating, extreme nipple and breast discomfort. Truly severe symptoms. It even affects me mentally as well as physically. I know you often talk about estrogen dominance but in my case, my estrogen, including estradiol and those other female hormones, are extremely low. What do you do in this case? How can I rebalance these hormones and ease these symptoms? There is a lot of information out there and it all can be so overwhelming, like there's so much I need to do. Please help! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’m a daily podcast listener and I want to thank you for all your helpful wisdom you share. I’ve had medical issues that I was born with that has caused me to have chronic pain and multiple surgeries throughout childhood and all the way to being an adult now. I recognize as an adult that those procedures and how I was treated was at times necessary and that the doctors were only trying to help. However, lately I’ve taken a look at what happened through a child’s perspective and can see how scary, invalidating and traumatic those experiences were. How do I move on from medical trauma? How do I get help with moving through this when the same people I look to for help are the same people that trigger these feelings in the first place? My body feels constantly stuck in SNS dominance despite following all the health protocols, and I know this issue is holding me back from being well. I’ve tried working with different therapists, hypnotherapist and a life coach. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Erin: Hoping you have some advice... I keep getting sinus infections and constantly have allergy issues and in the winter often get bronchitis. I’ve done allergy testing and have bad environmental allergies. I’ve been doing a lot of gut healing over the past few years yet I am still having these issues. Starting to feel defeated...any ideas or advice? If it does help/matter, most family members on my moms side have allergy issues as well. Thanks so much for all you do. Kathy: Dear Doctor Cabral, thank you for helping so many people. You are amazing! My daughter (who is in her 20's) wants to know why something has been happening for the last few years, and I did do a podcast archive search, but nothing came up, so I would love to know if you have seen this before: The first bite of any type of food that she eats after not eating for a couple of hours (especially first thing in the morning) tastes very sour and causes her cheeks to pucker. The food is not necessarily a sour food, so it seems a little unusual. Water is the only thing that will not do this. She's in great shape and takes good care of her health. Thank you so much, I really appreciate you. :) Tina: I have a few brown spots on my face that my dermatologist is calling melasma. Is there a way to get rid of it naturally without using all the bleach and chemical creams he’s recommending? He told me melasma comes from the sun and from heat. So now I’m afraid to go for a walk during the day with the sun out and also I have been avoiding the infrared sauna because he said the heat can cause more of it. Are the spots caused by liver toxicity? Hormone in balance? How can I get rid of them? Thank you so much! Lola: Hi! I have learnt so much from the show and it truly is a blessing! I am a 24year old vata-pitta female with kapha vikruti and I have had alopecia since I was 16. I had always had extremely fine and thin hair so getting alopecia really affected my mental health. It started out as small bald patches on the sides on my head and one in the back, but then over the years, I got thinning at the temples, a receding hairline and thinning at the part of my hair and the crown. I have tried everything but haven't really found a solution. I have recently adopted a pitta pacifying diet, but I'm not sure if it's helping. I am now losing tiny hairs that almost look like vellus hairs and I'm not sure why. I think the hair that regrows falls out after a few weeks. Please.provide some insight into what the issue could be. Also, I have tested my thyroid and it is normal.

2165: Eye Bulging, Allergy to Herbs, Quality Meats, Candida Testing Confusion, Female Muscle Building, Vacuum Blenders (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Emma: Hello Dr. Cabral, My mother has been diagnosed with Grave’s and Thyroid Eye Disease. Her symptoms include proptosis in one eye, very low TSH and normal T4 & T3. Although all of her antibodies have shown very low or zero, even after repeat testing. Is there a specific imbalances or deficiencies you commonly see paired with low TSH ? What could be causing the proptosis if she doesn’t have any antibodies? Could Candida be at play? What are your top recommendations for Grave’s/Thyroid Eye Disease? So grateful for your support. Thank you! Anonymous: If someone is sensitive or allergic to wormwood and/black walnut, what product or ingredients would you recommend instead to be able to do both a parasite protocol and a CBO protocol? It seems like omitting the microbial balance and parapro would not achieve the best results, but I can’t tolerate either of these. Even using the smallest doses and titration, I get severe stomach pain when using these supplements. I have learned so much from your podcast. Thank you for all you do! Michelle: I'm always on a quest to source the best possible animal proteins I can find. Recently I went on a search for turkey, specifically turkey slices like deli meat. I know better than to buy any grocery store deli meats so I tried searching for local pasture raised turkeys but couldn't find anything except a whole bird. Then I referenced The Cornucopia Institutes Organic Poultry Scorecard which gave me one option I could find in the stores with a 4-bird rating but on further research of that company I found they only have a special Holiday bird that qualifies for the GAP step 5 rating and all their other birds are only GAP step 3, which means outdoor access, not pasture raised. Very frustrating and I've come to the conclusion that I'll probably need to buy a whole bird and cook it myself. What I am wondering though is even with the local pasture raised farms it's normal to supplement with an organic / non-gmo feed that is a grain product. I do not eat grains due to my autoimmune history. If I'm eating animal protein that had some grain feed during it's life span does that affect me? To quote Michael Pollan "You are what you eat eats.” Melania: Yeast showed up in the stool test but not in the OAT. How is this even possible? Tina: I am a 52 year old female who loves doing bodybuilding shows every couple of years. I eat a very healthy macro-based diet with Whole Foods play on for the most part I am very healthy. I just ordered the big five and I’m excited to test my hormones. Curious how I can put on more muscle without taking steroids? How can I increase my testosterone levels naturally? Is there something I could be eating or taking to help me put on more muscle since I do strength train five days a week moderately heavy but I feel like I’m not putting any new muscle on. Thank you for everything! I think you’re amazing and I appreciate you and your team so so much. Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I know you are a big fan of high-powered blenders for smoothies and I was wondering what your thoughts were on 'vacuum'/pressurized blenders, which remove air before blending, supposedly reducing oxidation. I have to make my smoothie 2+hr before I drink it every morning so the potential to reduce oxidation is appealing, but I'd love to hear whether you think they are worth the extra money and have any recommendations?

2164: Elevated Heart Rate at Night, High Potassium, Insulin & Fat Burning, Child Diarrhea, Losing Voice, Chicken Pox (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Lorena: Hi there! I’m a 28 year old Vata and IHP Level 1 and 2 certified. Recently, I’ve been noticing that my Oura ring has constantly been telling me that my heart rate has been elevated at night. My HRV as a result is much lower than usual. I haven’t got one night of a normal heart rate and it’s been in “red” in the Oura app (56-62 bpm. At the same time that this started happening, I started to feel some weird neurological symptoms similar to those in MCAS (intense anxiety especially after eating, heart palpitations, brain fog & more). I’ve also suddenly started to experience bloating and gas after whole food meals (not smoothies). I’ve never had digestive issues before and did the CBO a year ago for skin issues solely. Trying to figure out how to lower this heart rate at night. I’ve even lowered stressed massively (at work & stopped working out intensively). Any idea what could be going on? I take a good amount of magnesium before bed too and sometimes even melatonin. Waiting on stool test results because I want to rule out parasites & h pylori. But if the latter is negative, what else should I look at? Melanie: I always hear you talk about people with high blood pressure needing more potassium in their diet. They would therefore not have to worry too much about sodium. However, my dad has high blood pressure and a few weeks ago ended in the hospital as his potassium levels were very very elevated and it was life threatening. He has high blood pressure, diabetes type 2 etc… I was wondering how this can be possible? I thought everyone with high blood pressure usually had low potassium levels! Btw this event happened the day after he took the laxative to do a colonoscopy so not sure if this is relevant. Anonymous: Hi Stephen, I have a question about insulin. In the health world currently, there is A LOT of talk about blood sugar and insulin in regards to losing weight. I am regularly reading that insulin must be kept low because insulin halts fat oxidation. Therefore is insulin is up you can't burn fat. However, there is an abundance of research that shows that under isocaloric conditions, there is little to no difference between LCHF and HCLF diets. I knw you yourself are familiar with the rice, fruit, and fruit juice diet reearch which was basically all carbs and yet insulin sensitivity was improved and weight loss occured. Surely this would suggest energy balance is the overriding important factor in weight loss. If "fat can't be burned when insulin is present or high" how can such studies be explained? Would love your insight here. Thank you. Amber: Hello Dr.Cabral. First I just want to say thank you so much for all you do and give. I’m currently getting my level 1 and I truly look forward to learning from you everyday. Ok so in regards to my question… My 7 year old son got covid about 3 weeks ago now. He got hit in the form of mostly diarrhea for two days. I’m only giving that piece of info because the current problem has only happened since having said virus. (In all his 7 years he has been sick about 4 other times.) He’s been hit with the current problem about 3 times in the last two weeks. He’ll be eating and his stomach will start to hurt really bad. One, was on Thanksgiving which I thought ok maybe all the different foods being combined. Then it happened again today two different times after eating something he always eats. Didn’t hit him as hard but still came. His stomach does seem to settle once I give him this ginger drink. My mom intuition tells me something isn’t right and I need to catch it before it develops into something worse. I have some ideas on where to start but I’d love your thoughts first. Greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much. Ewa: hello, my son Isak18 can't seem to get his full voice back after he caught a cold early fall, which happened around the same time last year. Its Really bad especially in the morning when he has to cough, clearing the pflem and scratchyness out. The ENT took a pict of inflamed vocal cords, lots of pflem and gave him antibiotics and steroids. He felt all better for a week before it came back again. He is working outside around damp leaves quite a bit but doesn't have any other mold-symptoms... Since he was a little puppy his colds always got to his lungs and airways. What do you think doc, whats going on? Much appreciation your way! Ewa and Isak Malinda: Ive read in medical studies of children who contract the chicken pox virus are less likely to contract shingles later in life, which is so much worse. If this is true what is the best way for them to catch the chicken pox now that so many children are vaccinated against it? What can parents do to avoid their child from contracting painful shingles later in life? As well as naturally boosting myself?

2158: Complicated Cases, High Sulfur, Cold Hands & Feet, Sexual Fetishes, Your Body Type, Regulating Cortisol (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Victoria: Hi Dr. Cabral, Someone I know has been in the hospital with double pneumonia and tuberculosis. The antibiotics weren't helping for awhile so they had to put her in an induced coma for a week and on a ventilator to keep her alive. Eventually, she left the hospital but then her ankles started hurting. After review by doctors, they found something called "mycobacterium haemophilum" that could be possibly infecting / eating away at her bone. They only had one very unfortunate solution for this to prevent it spreading to the rest of her body. I have a few questions. I know you are not supposed to give medical advice -- so I won't be asking for medical advice. If she would look to help to fix this dis - ease in her body naturally, what do you think the best solutions would be to start? I am trying to get some kind of a Naturopathic doctor to start working with her. Looking for any possible guidance though you may have. Wondering if this happened because of all the antibiotics she was pumped (7+ kinds) to keep the other infections at bay imbalanced her microbiome and body dramatically. She has also had an autoimmune disease for most of her life in which she has been on a strong steroid for (15+ years). Thank you so much for your input.. really appreciate your time on this. Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral Could you please explain how someone can have an issue with sulphur detoxification and why they get symptoms with foods high in sulphur? What is the underlying cause of this? How do you go about Correcting this? Does this have a correlation with sibo? Plus what is hydrogen sulfide bacteria and how does occur? Many thanks for your help Charonne: Hi doctor Cabral, I hope you're doing great! I was wondering if you could maybe give me some advice on the following: I (42 y.o. F) always have cold hands and feet - especially during the winter. In those cold months, my fingers will often swell up and look inflamed from the cold. I know that it has to do with my low thyroid and a very low blood pressure. I'm working on this with my health practitioner, but it’s going slowly, so I would really love to know if you know of any great natural remedies to get and keep my hands and feet warm. Thanks so much in advance for your answer, and for everything you do! Especially for creating the CBO protocol! I’m almost finished with it, and my digestion has never been better! :) Charonne Anonymous: Hi Doc, Thanks for everything! (I know this is a family show so I will try to phrase my question in the right way. Choose the best alternative for your preferences.) Alternative 1. Are there any underlying root cause to sexual fetish’m? Alternative 2. Are there any underlying root cause to why some people have a “fruitful desire” in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing, part of the body, etc? TIA! Elizabeth: How do you know what your exact body type is? As well as what is better to do to lose weight carb cycling or macroing? I've put on 40lbs , 54 yrs metabolism is shot :( Laura: Hello! I'm a 27 year old Vata. My at-home saliva test showed low cortisol in the AM and higher than optimal at night. I know this is adrenal fatigue and I've listened to all of your shows on this. I feel exhausted in the morning but still anxious so I chose not to go for adrenal energy support. I already do the daily foundational protocol level 3 with magnesium before bed and zinc at dinner time. I've done the CBO & CBO finisher and do my seasonal detoxes as well. Any recommendations for raising my cortisol levels in the morning naturally? I already bought the light box but not sure what else to do as I really feel very tired in the morning (and caffeine worsens my anxiety). Sleep is good, 7-7.30h of sleep every night with 90 mins of REM and 2h of Deep.

2157: Elevated Cortisol, Lower Heat Sauna, Pomegranate Juice, B Vitamins Dosing, Enzymes & Breast Implants, Yawning & Exercise (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Maria: Hey! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer our community’s questions :) I’m a Vata body type 29 year old woman currently working on healing my adrenal fatigue. I have elevated levels of cortisol in the PM and low cortisol in the AM. Unfortunately, I don’t do very well with adrenal soothe due to histamines. I’ve tried it several times but it just doesn’t agree with me. Any other alternative that you recommend? I can’t take adrenal support in the morning because I already suffer from anxiety (funny given that my AM cortisol is low). Sleep is good, I track it with my Oura ring and take magnesium, DNS, omega 3, daily probiotic & vitamin D everyday. Maria: Sorry me again! I forgot to mention that I decided to take a break from heavy lifting and just stick to 10k steps every day and Workout 3x a week with resistance bands only. BMI 21 & 15% body fat percentage. I was doing a lot of sauna but I read that it might not be the best right now as it can be a stressor to my body. What are your thoughts? My workouts are not as intense so I don’t really sweat. Sauna is the only option I have…After running the hormones test with your team, all of my hormones are also on the lower side (including estrogen). So I don’t want to push my body too hard. Jenna: Do you think that drinking pomegranate juice has more benefits or more downsides? I know drinking any juice without the fiber of the fruit will spike blood sugar, but I also know pomegranate is great for antioxidants. Would you recommend drinking this? (maybe in small amounts?) Darren: Hey Dr Cabral. Wishing you, your family and Equi Life team all the best in the new year. By the time you get this it'd likely be finished but this question is for future reference. I got the Equi Life Activated B Complex, Activated Multivitamin and DNS recently. I looked at the daily value percentages and was wondering if it was possible to take 1 capsule instead of 2 suggested for the B Complex and 2 instead of 4 capsules suggested for the activated multivitamin. I'm trying to stay healthy and do what's right while still keeping budget but I'd do what's right if I actually have to do the suggested number. Also with regard to the DNS, is there any reason why it has added sugar in the ingredients? Is it for a particular reason or merely for taste? Christina: Are infrared sauna and proteolytic enzymes (taken on an empty stomach) safe when you have breast implants? Thank you for the wonderful information provided in your podcasts. Christina: When I exercise or do a physical activity requiring more oxygen, I have to yawn to bring in the oxygen that I need. Otherwise, I feel like I am not getting enough oxygen. Is this normal? Thank you for all your help and advice.

2151: Regression, Skin Barnacles, Zinc Misinformation, Ghee Benefits, Child Over Weight, Glutamine Dosage (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Abigail: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm an IHP, and I have a client with Down syndrome (18 yr old female) who is starting to experience symptoms of acute regression. We have done lab testing and are working on correcting her "root cause" imbalances, but I was wondering if you could point me toward any resources (podcasts, websites, etc) to further my education in this area since I don't know much about acute regression and how to help "reverse" it naturally. All of the information I've found so far is from more of a conventional perspective, so any of your insight would be very helpful! Adrianne: Hey Doc! Thanks for showing up everyday to make the world a healthier place. My sister in law was told by her dermatologist that she has barnacles. She showed me one next to her eye. Google calls it Seb-k and says the cause is unknown. I am thinking maybe a deficiency or toxicity. Can you shed any light on the subject? Thanks! Laura: I would like to ask two questions.1- I have recently purchased your Daily Nutritional Support. On the list of ingredients is Zinc Picolinate. According to some studies it has been found that this form of Zinc may cause liver damage. Do you believe this to be true? If so are you considering changing to another form of Zinc? 2- I have read your book The Rain Barrel Effect. I enjoyed it and am very interested in helping a family member with MS. Have you found that going through your cleanses has helped reverse the symptoms of MS and or cured anyone from this condition? Thank you for your time. Laura Darren:Good day Dr Cabral. Is there any truth to ghee is used in ayurveda as the first thing in the morning on an empty stomach as doing this will lower cholesterol levels, aid in unblocking "clogged" arteries (by preventing endothelial cells) and getting a daily supply of omega 3s and vitamin E? Or is that overstating its properties? I know it's a saturated fat but are there any concerns with using it or who should avoid it if any? Thanks for your help Concerned Mother: Dear Dr. Cabral, I've been listening to your show for a while now and am working with one of your health coaches. I'm very happy seeing some changes in my own health. I know my son needs help too and I'm hoping you can tell us the best way to begin. He is 9 years old and was adopted as an infant. We know his birth mother smoked regularly during the pregnancy. He had a regular delivery but was not breast fed. He's had a few rounds of antibiotics over the years for rashes that turned into infections. He is overweight (none of the other members of our family are so I wonder if genetics play a role in that) and has recently developed asthma. He has always had a runny nose and gets rashes and hives regularly. He has learning disabilities and when he was younger he needed occupational therapy for eating and walking. He is still lagging in physical skills and coordination and will stuff his mouth full and not chew his food well no matter how much coaching we offer. I sometimes think his sense of fullness may not be functioning well. Every time I go to the doctor for any of these issues I end up feeling blamed for his weight but they don't offer any really helpful advice. Where would you recommend we start in helping him rebalance his body? Thank you so much for all your help! Simon: Hi Dr Cabral – I am wondering if there are any downsides to taking L-glutamine long term? I have been taking it consistently for the last 5 or so years, ranging from a steady 5mg per day, to larger less-frequent doses (10-15mg) on strength training days only. As someone who both exercises frequently and has been trying to heal ongoing IBS/gut permeability issues, glutamine seems like a great dual-benefit supplement but I just want to check there aren’t any long-term downsides. Thanks!

2150: Abstaining, Asthma, Zeolite, Jovi Patch, Detox After V, Bump on Chest (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Farren: Good day Dr Cabral. I know you won't get this in November but like 8 weeks from now sometime in late December, early January (Happy New year BTW) but what are your thoughts on drives like "No Nut November"? In line with with what you teach on mindset and motivational Mondays, I believe you'd lean toward avoiding porn given what it can do your brain but are there benefits to not ejaculating or abstaining over a given period? One elder while growing up said its always good to keep the "blood flowing" there even if you don't climax while I see so-called experts saying you should often cause of benefits ranging from better sleep to prostrate health. I read somewhere in ayurveda where they said different doshas should have different requirements. Hope this didn't come across too crass. Do you have thoughts on this? Erin: Asthma! What is the root cause of asthma? I have been told magnesium deficiency but would love to hear your input. Thanks so much I really do love listening to your podcasts. Deanna: hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering what you think about certain alternative detox methods - in particular, would you recommend zeolite, and if so, what form? And also I have been hearing about chlorine dioxide which seems quite controversial. I rely on your opinion about these things. I also did order your detox protocol, so I will be trying that as well. I feel it is so important right now to be detoxifying. Thank you for your help! Deanna Jenna: Are you familiar with the Jovi Patch? I'm seeing good feedback about it in regards to helping with menstrual cramps. Apparently it's a patch that you put over your uterus and it "works to pick up the message your body is sending out, rerouting it and absorbing it like a sponge using nanocapacitors." I'm a tiny bit skeptical on how this works and if it's safe and wanted your perspective before I try it. Sheba: Hello, I was asked about ways to detox the the vaccine. Do you have any suggestions? I want to share this information as unbias as possible and I will represent IHP to the best of my abilities. Please let me know if you have any advice or suggestions on this matter. Best, Sheba Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am 27 years old, resistance train 5-6 days a week, and have a very good body composition. Since high school, I have had a large bump under my right nipple that has not gone away. I got a sonogram in college that did not show any cancer or tumor, and it seems closer to the description of gyno, but only on one side. Overtraining during high school and college impacted my hormones, of which I am still trying to fully recover from. The bump was noticeable before I began rigorously training for athletics, but I am sure the hormone damage did not help in it subsiding. My question is as to whether or not you would recommend looking into your DHEA supplement, or if I am too young to begin something like that. My life now is fairly stressful, but manageable, I am an engineer, lift weights (as previously mentioned), walk at least 10,000 steps a day, eat very healthy, and also struggle with digestive issues (story for another day). Any recommendations you have are greatly appreciated and thank you so much for what you do. We, the listeners, are forever in debt. Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2150 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family)

2144: Macro Balancing in Shake, Dried Fruit, Human Design Systems, Bad Fats, Fasting & Muscle Gain, Accelerated Heart Rate with Meals (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) This podcast is my favourite thing of the day.. I listen to it while preparing my lemon water and smoothie in the morning :) Which brings me to my question(/-s).. I usually make a huge smoothie with everything you can think of (frozen berries, leafy greens, protein powder and then lots of herbs and spices, mushroom powders, ginger & turmeric root, etc. It comes out pretty big so I started freezing half of it for the days I don’t have the time to make it.. does freezing & then defrosting destroy all the good benefits of all these ingredients which are blended together? My second question about it is, even though I eat quite a big bowl of it, I still feel quite hungry and shaky after it.. like I don’t have energy in my muscles to do any real movement or exercise.. that feeling sometimes stays with me for most of the day or until I eat something solid (which usually makes me feel bloated or uncomfortable in the stomach).. is this weird, considering I do use healthy fats and proteins and carbs in the smoothie (and it’s a really big amount of it)? Thank you so much for your answers and everything you do.. much love to you, your family and everyone in this community.. Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) One more smoothie related question: I usually eat an apple after my smoothie.. is that ok or should I eat an apple before the smoothie? And how much time before or after? I usually also have some DRIED berries every day (blueberries, cranberries, goji berries, etc.) I remember you’ve said dried fruit isn’t the best, but I’m not sure why.. is it the same for dried berries? Thank you so much.. again :) Anonymous: Hi, dr. Cabral! I’ve been a listener for a year and a half now and enjoy all the different types of shows you do. Since you are really into Ayurveda and spirituality of sorts, I was wondering if you have heard of Human Design yet? It is a holistic self-knowledge system combining astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah and Vedic philosophy. It would be really interesting if you would do an episode about it or maybe even an interview with an expert on it.. I’ve only heard about it last Christmas but since then met lots of people that found great help in knowing themselves better through it, alleviating conditioning by society and overall starting to accept themselves better because of understanding oneself. Including me. Hope you find it interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. I got excited when I saw CNN with the news headline "Eating fat can lower stroke risk, study says, as long as it's the right kind" https://edition.cnn.com/2021/11/09/health/fat-stroke-risk-wellness/index.html but got disappointed as the article went on. The American Heart Association director & senior scientist went on to promote liquid vegetable oils corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, which are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, and monosaturated like canola oil. How does one tell their family, coworkers, clients and friends to stay away from those plant based oils when the AHA, of all people, are promoting them? Darren: Hey Dr. Cabral. I've been wondering, do you still maintain your weekly fast since you've embarked on the muscle gaining journey or do you put it on hold to attain that current goal? Also have you noticed any drastic pros or drawbacks since you began? Keep up great work. Anonymous: What's the reason for accelerated heart rate after meals? No change in diet. All the same. I've started experiencing heart palpitations and accelerated heart rate and sometimes even twitches after my meals. Even with smoothies. It happens the moment I put something in my stomach. Really weird.

2143: Highly Sensitive Person, Travel Bloating, Heightened Anxiety, Daytime Sleep Schedule, Leg Cramps, Myelodysplastic Syndromes (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Anonymous: Hi Doc! Words cannot describe how grateful I'm that I found you a few years ago. You have helped me in so many ways, and still are! I have a question about HSP's or Highly Sensitive Person’s. I'm one if them, however, I'm not balanced YET in my mind and body. So my question would be, is there an underlying physical root cause behind the reason people become HSP's? Is it something that will go away after rebalancing the body and mind? I don't talk for others HSP's, but at least in my self, I can se patterns of Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Is there a connection between HSP's and ASD? I would love to hear your viewpoint of this specific topic. Anonymous: Hi Doc, I'm an IHP level 1 & 2 certified. I did all labs and all protocols accordingly and maintain a healthy routine based on the destress protocol. I was doing very well until I travelled to South America and started experiencing a lot of anxiety. The anxiety is worse after I eat, especially breakfast. I'm not sure what happened. The breakfast didn't change as I took all of the ingredients from home (except oats which I bought local GF oats) and my supplement protocol remained the same. I even stopped all supplements to see if that would change anything but anxiety, especially heart palpitations is still very much present and as I said, get's very bad after meals. I didn't have this before travelling and I'm not experiencing any digestive issues whatsoever. No bloating, gas, pain, nothing. It's just this shortness of breath, heart palpitations that is driving me insane. I've been eating the same breakfast for ages (banana, DNS, GF oats, nuts/seeds) with no issues but maybe I've developed an allergy to one of those suddenly? If it isn't a food allergy what could it be? I also get it after lunch (not as bad) as breakfast though. Dinner is less but still present. Anonymous: Hi Doc, me again. Forgot to mention that when this anxiety started, I've been having a lot of random body twitches and been very sensitive to external sounds. Funnily enough, it get's better when I'm around people and having a conversation so basically whenever I'm distracted. It get's really bad when I'm by myself (for example, when I'm on my laptop) and focused on something. Would you say that this could be a symptom of the anxiety? Have you ever come across someone having these twitches from anxiety? Or could this be something more serious? Anthony: Hi Dr Cabral, I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank you for doing what you do, so thank you! Onto my question but first a little background. I’m a new RN and just accepted a job working from 7p - 7a, 3 days per week (the days I work every week will vary). I’m married with two children and suspect I’ll be on a day schedule during my days off. Besides ensuring good sleep hygiene and optimal nutrition what are some actions I can take to ensure proper sleep and switch between days and nights? For instance, when trying to sleep after working nights should I use your sleep supplements before bed even though it’ll be around 8:30am? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration of my question. Cheers! Anthony Gemma: Hi. Each time I have done a detox at a health retreat, I get excruciatingly painful cramps in my hamstrings and sometimes in my lower back too. Nothing seems to help them - unless it’s paracetamol which I had to resort to once just to get some sleep! I’m wondering what might be causing the cramping? And how I can avoid for my first Dr Cabral detox, which I’m starting soon? And - if they do come back - any suggestions you may have for treating the pain? Many thanks! Lisa: Hello! Love your podcast and everything you do for the community. My father who is in late 50s has been diagnosed with MDS.

2140: The 3 Main Reasons You Stop Losing Weight (WW)

Many people have been led to believe that losing weight needs to be a struggle and you have to give up so much in order to achieve your goals…   The problem is if you end up choosing a program that is built around deprivation and short-term success you will always struggle in the long term…   That’s why in my practice I teach people to find the underlying root cause keeping you from having a faster metabolism where you naturally begin to burn more calories and lose more weight (fat)….   So on today’s #CabralConcept 2140 I’d like to share with you the 3 main reasons you stop losing weight and how to kickstart it - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2140 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2137: Synthetic vs “Natural” Vitamins, Curcumin, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Burning Mouth Syndrome, Food Pairing, Folliculitis Fix (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Francisco: Hello Dr. Cabral! I hope you had a lovely day so far. My question is related to multivitamins. I've heard so much controversy on this specific topic and there are so many individuals that state that multivitamins made from whole foods are the only multi vitamins that really work. That is why they're more expensive because they're the only ones that the body truly absorbs. This means that I've been taking a synthetic form of vitamins for years! For example, ascorbic acid for vitamin C, methylcobalamin as B12, etc. Apparently these are all synthetic so not absorbed and I should look for a whole food vitamin instead. What are your thoughts? Victor: I was listening to a house call and you mentioned how you don’t recommend straight curcumin on a daily basis. I’ve been taking 500mg of curcumin with bioperine as part of my daily foundational protocol on top of DNS, omega-3pm, vitamin D, magnesium, vit C, zinc etc. I don’t have inflammation but I just take it to optimise my health. What are your thoughts? Lindsey: Hello Dr. Cabral. I hope you are having an amazing day. Your podcast archive is always where I turn to when a friend is dealing with anything health related. I was surprised recently when I couldn't find a podcast talking about Guillain-Barré syndrome. Can you shed any light on this and possible ways to heal the root cause? You are much appreciated! Don: Recently, my tongue began burning throughout the day as if it is being continually scalded by boiling water. I have been told that Burning Mouth Syndrome may go away on its own in 3-5 years. Are there any other options which could give a quicker resolution? Thank you for the podcast and all you do to help others. Alina: I’m going to join all the others in thanking your for the work you do for the health community and for my own education! I have been struggling with SIBO for a few years and finally now on the CBO protocol. I recently have learned about food combining and food layering. I have listened to all your podcasts on it but still have a few specific questions. Are nut butters or protein bars with nut butters easier to digest than nuts in whole form? What protein will food combine well with oatmeal, quinoa, or rice? I see only carbohydrates and proteins pair well with vegetables (and carbohydrates with fats/oils as well). I love oatmeal but have heard it’s important to have protein in each meal. I’m unsure how to do this with proper food combining. Also, should salads with a protein (like fish or eggs) not have dressing on it since protein does not pair with oils? What combines well with hemp hearts? Thanks I’m advance! P.S. I would ask your support team but I don’t see an option unless you have Facebook? Mary: I never used to have scalp issues and about 3 years ago I began to get really bad folliculitis. I've tried antibiotics, I've cut out sugar, gluten, dairy and meat and still have terrible bouts of folliculitis that results in huge pus filled welts that are painful and itchy. Not sure what is causing it or why.

2136: Le Creuset, Improper Dosha Diagnosis, TRS Is Not a Detox, Drooping Eyelids Ptosis, Late Night Workout Meal, Neuron Anatomy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Katie: Hey Dr. Cabral! I know you've reviewed cookware before and I was wondering your thoughts on Le Creuset. They're not "nontoxic" but the stoneware and cast iron seems to be made of good materials. What do you think, and how can we know if pots/pans are made of high-quality, trustworthy materials? Gemma: Hi Dr Cabral. Thanks so much for the wealth of information you provide - it has empowered me to make significant positive changes in my health. I have been told by two different Ayurvedic doctors that I am tridoshic. My own personal take on it (with full awareness that this may not be accurate!) is that I have a vata mind, a pitta voice and heart and a kapha body. Is this possible? And do you have any specific tips for tridoshics to stay in balance? Many thanks. Christine: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for everything you do to help the whole world reach their health goals. I have learned so much about myself in terms of my own health and I am so excited to try your 21 day detox. I do have a question regarding the efficacy (and safety) of a heavy metal detox system called TRS detox spray. I did use this a few years ago in myself (for 6 months) and was thinking of trying it on my 5 year old son who is on the spectrum, but I’d love to hear your opinion first! Thanks so much! Marie: Hi Doc! I am always so relieved to have this option of consulting such an amazing expert as yourself. My question is about my eyelids. One of my eyes (left side) sits lower than the other one and is more downturned. I have begun to notice that this increases a lot after a night of drinking alcohol. On those days I can even feel the difference in my eye and the asymmetry is very visible as well. Having researched a little I see that this may be called ptosis and was wondering what the reason might be and what I could do about it? Drinking less alcohol is obviously an option but I am concerned that this may be an indication of something more serious. Thank you for your help! Marie Mary: I am addicted to your podcast! YOU are awesome. Thank you for all that you do. I have swim team Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:20-9:20pm (only time we can get pool time). I don't know what to do regarding post w.o. nutrition and sleep. I get home around 10:30pm. That's quite late to eat and still get to bed at a decent hour if i'm waiting 2-3 hours after i eat to go to bed for ease of digestion and good sleep. Is it best not to eat and go to sleep at a decent hour or is it best to eat some soup or broth (something easy to digest)? Is there something i can consume and go to bed about an hour later? I considered a smoothie but i put both fruits and veggies in my smoothie for taste purposes and that probably has too much sugar in it before bed? Please advise. Thank you! Dhanvi: Respected sir I am Dhanvi and I am 15 years old I love your podcast now I want to ask you some doubts 1. If due the stimulus an electrical impulse is created how can something like electricity travel from one neuron to thousand neuron without any loss of energy just with the help of chemicals called neurotransmitter 2.I actually know how sensory receptor in the ear creates an impulse but not sure how it carries the information when someone teaches someone something 3. We studied control and coordination chapter this year but despite this I am still not able to understand how an organ like brain can do amazing process called thinking how does it think !

2130: Slow Healing Cuts, Poor Poop Tests, Menstrual Cycle Eating, Subglottic Hemangiomas, Fall Allergies, Gut Healing Protocol Timing (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Nicolo: I have noticed that my cuts take a long time to heal. Not the clotting part but just seems to take a lokng time to be fully healed. Summer: Hi Dr Cabral! I recently found your podcast and have been bingeing episodes, they are such a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for what you do! I had a baby in July of 2020, an emergency c section after being in labor for almost 3 days. Ever since birth I feel like my body is holding onto a lot of inflammation. I know a c section is a major surgery so it would take a while to heal, but now being 15 months postpartum I am getting very discouraged I will never look the way I did before again. I am already gluten and dairy free - and did a poop test with X Company and have cut out those foods as well (most cruciferous vegetables/nuts/beans etc). I am at a loss as to what could be going on. I workout fairly regularly, drink lots of water and eat relatively healthy. Could this be parasite or mold related? Or is my body holding on to weight because I am still breastfeeding? How do I go about figuring out how to get back to my body pre baby? Thank you for the advice! - Summer Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral What foods do you recommended to eat during a women's cycle at each phase, luteal, follicular, ovulation and menstruation? I am not referring to seed cycling but just general foods. As I have listened to your seed cycling podcast, but could not find any of other foods. Thank you so much Audrey: Hi Dr Cabral. My 2 month old daughter has a sub glottic hemangioma that was blocking 60% of her airway. The dermatologist and ENT have her on Propanolol and want her to be on it for the next 6 months. I hate the thought of my young daughter being on heart medication. Eventually these stop growing when she is 1 year old but since it’s in her airway, we can’t take any chances. Is there an alternative treatment I could be giving her? I am nursing her as well, so anything I could be taking to help her? Thank you so much Kristen: Hello! For the first time my almost five year old has had a fall allergy this year. He has a cough from something. He also has an allergy to egg and wheat. He has never been in antibiotics, was breastfed, and fights off viruses quickly when he does get sick. His dad has seasonal allergies and a few food sensitivities, so there is a genetic predisposition. What can I do for him that will help him get out of following down the same road? I know any type of strict detox is unrealistic for a young child. Thank you. Morgan: Hi! Love your recent podcasts on gut health. I have been struggling with gut health issues for years and trying to figure it out with conventional medicine only, which has failed me unfortunately. What do I do if I tested and I have parasites, SIBO, candida overgrowth and H. pylori? Where does one even start when you have ALL these things?! Please let me know, I am so lost on where to begin!

2129: Mouth Breather, Sensitive Gut Guide, Women’s Body Fat %, Natural Arrhythmia Fix, Shrunk Kidney, Seed Intake (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Holly: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for being such an inspiration and source of knowledge; you've transformed my health and now helping me transform my families too! My youngest son aged 3.5 often sleeps with his mouth open (breathing through it rather than his nose) I've heard you mention this isnt good and wondered 1. Why? 2. How I can make him a nose breather (if that's possible)? I also hear him grinding his teeth often in his sleep, is that something to worry about? Thanks again, Holly x Anonymous: Hi Dr. C! Thanks again for all you do. I am doing the CBO and following it to a T. I did have a question as some of the food listed on your sensitive gut guide are "not approved" when it comes to removing or limiting traditional FODMAPs. For example asparagus, broccoli, beans, beets, watermelon, and squash. What is the difference in your plan vs that? I know you have a method to your madness but just curious on your variations. Are those foods not actually fermentable in our guts? Also as we reintroduce new foods down the road, what symptoms should we look for? Would they just be digestive disturbances since this is a gut protocol or would they mimic food sensitivity symptoms? Thanks again!! Andrea: Hi! Thank you so much for answering my question! What is the minimum fat percentage you’d recommend for a woman? It seems like a very low fat percentage can sometimes cause hormonal dysfunction. Would you say 15% maybe? Catherine: Can integrative medicine help people who suffer from arrhythmia? Dar: I'm 39 years old and had low ferritin around 4. My specialist had a CT scan done and he noticed that one of my kidneys had shrunk quite a bit and believes only the one kidney is functioning but doing well. Is there anything I can do to try to regrow the shrunk kidney (most likely the MD said from a sports injury or since birth) I had told him I took a number of hits in physical sports growing up. Also what do you recommend for supplementing the remaining kidney with. Maureen: Dear Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your amazing podcast. I look forward to it every day and have learned so many tips to improve my health. My question has to do with eating seeds. Every day, I put 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds and 2 Tablespoons of Flax Seeds in the Daily Nutritional Shake. I blend this all up to make it easier to digest. I often eat Hemps Seeds later in the day for additional protein as well as pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds on my salad. Do you think this is too many seeds to eat in one day? Might I develop an allergy to them or is it hard on the digestive system to eat this many seeds?

2127: Case Study: Brain Fog, Fatigue, Low Mood, Rashes & Acne (CS)

It may sound strange, but one of the first places (if not the very first place) you should look for the root cause of why you have brain fog, fatigue, low mood, skin rashes, or acne is actually in the gut…   That’s because your gut is either helping you stay healthy by extracting life-giving nutrients, or it’s causing your body to become inflamed through dysbiosis and increased intestinal permeability…   It’s also not as complicated as it may seem…   And that’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 2127 I’d like to share with you an actual case study where we get to the bottom of those exact health issues and how we helped this client to rebalance their underlying root cause issues - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2127 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2123: Aging Weight Loss, Food Based Vitamin C, Vitamin D3 Controversy, Stop Hormone Supplementation, V Detox, Early Menstruation (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Nadia: Dear Doctor Cabral, thank you so much for all you do to help the community and for your very interesting podcast! I would like to ask if you could indicate me in which direction we could look regarding my dad's health. He is 62 years old, 5feet7 and weighs now less then 125 pounds. He has always been thin (even though he eats 3 times more then the rest of the family) but muscular. But now he really has just skin on his bones even though he still eats a lot (and healthy). He goes to the bathroom at least once a day, sometimes after every meal, which is very good. And his blood work came back normal. He's been trying to gain weight for years but he just gets more and more skinnier and is pretty preoccupied. He is very active all day, always working around the house, in the garden, loves hiking and biking. A Nutritionist told him years ago that it will be impossible for him to gain weight and that it's much easier for overweight people to lose weight. Do you have any advice on how my dad could get to a normal weight again or what we should look at? Thanks so much for your time and help, Have a great day, Nadia Erin: Vitamin c help!! Ok so i was told only to take food based vitamin c but all the other is synthetic and depletes copper....so can you please clear this up for me. I really appreciate it!! Ryan: Hello! I have seen recently a somewhat controversial opinion on D3 supplementation and would like your opinion. Usually, I'd gloss over something like this, but considering the high reputation of the source in the functional/integrative space, I thought I'd get your highly valued opinion. Quote… "D3 is not what they measure in a vitamin D test. They measure 25D. The problem is, they should be measuring 1,25D, and better yet, the ratio between the two. Supplementing D3 will raise your 25D levels which shuts down your vitamin D receptors and innate immune system function. Supplementing D3 above what we naturally get in food will massively increase calcium absorption. In a hard-drinking water world, that causes hypercalcemia, magnesium and K2 deficiency.” Jamie: Hi Dr Cabral thank you for all you do. I have been listening for a very long time. I’ll try to keep this short as I did try to search if you have talked about this before but couldn’t find anything. I currently see a Dr who claims to be an integrative doctor local to me. I’m 33 year old female. I weigh around 130#. My symptoms have been thinning hair, nail fungus, zero libido, zero energy and pms 2 weeks prior to menstruating, (this has been for many years) increase of stress the past two years due to my job. . He did lab work and my thyroid levels are low, and vitamin d was low. He also told me that I should take Progesterone 100mg qhs for the pms symptoms / low energy. Long story short I’m taking t3/t4 15mcg daily (along with fish oil, vitamin d, b complex, magnesium from EquiLife) I had more lab work done recently and my IGF-1 is 208 (says it should be 280) and he is recommending Sermorelin therapy. I googled it and it sounds fantastic. All the things I need (energy, libido etc) but my question is being only 33 (no kids) is going to harm me in the long run taking these hormones? I know you can’t tell me to stop, I just need advice on really what this Sermorelin therapy is and if it is going to hurt me in the long run taking progesterone “forever”. Thank you Leah: Big thanks to you and the team for all the information you put out! If you must get the vaccine, and it is not your preference to do so, can you detox from it? And if so, how? Thanks! Andrea: My 9 year old daughter started menstruating this month. She is already taking a daily multivitamin, what other supplement would you advise her growing body would need to better support her during this stage?

2122: Artificial Sweeteners, Pulmonary Ventricular Contraction, Anti-Virals, BPC-157, Dark Spot on Skin (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Ryan: I know you're not a big fan of artificial sweeteners, but from what I've been able to find in the research, there seems to be many meta-analyses and RCTs, in humans, showing that there is no negative effect on bodyweight, glycemic variability or the microbiome, or that there is actually beneficial effects on bodyweight. Studies that show otherwise either seem to be in animals, or providing extremely large doses that would not be realistic for everyday life, or both. Is this a case of the science not being caught up to clinical practice and current times? Or is there definitive research showing the negative effects of artificial sweeteners in humans, in realistic doses? Would love if to hear your valued opinion on this. Thanks for all that you do! Marianne: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your show. My husband was diagnosed with PVC or Pulmonary Ventricular Contraction. He is on the medication Metoprolol to regulate his heartbeat. He's trying to reduce his stress at work and reduce his alcohol consumption. He drinks about 2 cups of coffee per day. Is there anything else he can do or take to help regulate the heartbeat without medication? Anonymous: Huge fan of the podcast, I listen everyday! One topic I've never heard discussed is the use of anti-viral medications. I've heard a lot about antibiotics and the bad effects they can have on our guts, but I've never heard about anti-virals. The reason I ask, my 3 yr old has been taking low dose acyclovir daily for the past year to prevent frequently recurring cold sores. We think they picked this up from an extended family member or daycare, since nobody else in our family has ever had a cold sore. A year ago they were getting them about every other week. When one would show up, we'd immediately start acyclovir to knock it out quickly, but when we'd stop, another one would pop up a week or so later. We've also tried low arginine high lysine diet, which didn't seem to make much of a difference. I asked our pediatrician about taking a lysine supplement, but they didn't feel comfortable with that b/c of age. The low dose daily has worked really well for us, but now I'm concerned it may be causing other problems. Since early July, I've noticed hives about every other day on my child. They're mostly on the legs and torso, not huge, and they don't seem too bothersome, but I'm wondering if long term use of acyclovir could've caused this, thoughts? And any thoughts on daily lysine use? Tony: Hi Dr C, I can’t find anything on your podcasts about amino acid BPC-157. Have asked your support team they said to ask here. Carpenter since a young boy, now in my 60s, used a lot of pressure on my knees for my job property developing, floor tiling etc, at one point (in my 50s) it was so bad I couldn’t get up off the floor; lucky enough found a fantastic acupuncturist which made it a lot better. Unfortunately can’t find him anymore. Job slowed down but knee pain got a lot worse, struggled to walk on my right knee, even considered knee replacement, prefer to avoid GPs, hospitals etc and go down an alternative route. My daughter had me on a decent turmeric/curcumin, MSM, Proteolytic Enzymes and arnica oil, until she found BPC-157. After a few days of this I could walk. The only thing that bothers her is that it is synthetic. So we gave it a couple of weeks then stopped. Knee has been overall good since apart from an odd day here and there but to go from barely walking to what feels normal is more than expected. My mood has also improved maybe because I can walk! Previously felt as though the bones or ligaments in my knee were rubbing together and there was no fluid. Normal weight, 5’9 don’t do any strenuous exercise, other than my job and walking. Thank you Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, My dad has had a dark spot (almost black and the size of a small mole) on the very right corner edge of his lower lip for the past year or so which has not changed. He has no desire to go to GP (had a few wrongful family experiences of being told something awful by a GP and it turning out to be wrong, so don’t want to be looped into any fear mongering or pharmaceuticals). He is fine otherwise, in 60s, generally in good health apart from some stressful phases, eats a balanced diet, does love wine but never smoked/taken meds. I’m thinking maybe Angiokeratoma / vitamin deficiency or possibly hormone related. I’ve looked at the natural topical remedies that may help but wondered what may be best and whether topical iodine could be a solution? P.s. are you familiar with Indiumease?

2116: Sebaceous Cysts, Dysfunctional Gallbladder, Gluten-free Grains, Eye Pterygium, Carbs & Weight Gain, Klinefelter Syndrome (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Jody: Hi Dr. Cabral. I was hoping you could give me some information on sebaceous cysts...what are they, where do they come from and what happens when they get infected? I have searched your podcasts and don't believe I have heard you mention them before. I had one on my shoulder apparently for a while, where it just seemed to be a small bump. It became infected and painful and my doctor put me on antibiotics. After a few weeks to a month it was much better and has actually disappeared. I have several now on my labia where they too became very irritated and painful. My OBGYN prescribed me a cream that did not make it any better so eventually put me on antibiotics again. That helped a little but not like it did with the outcome of the one on my shoulder. I have a cluster of them on both sides of my labia and they still sometimes become irritated. My OBGYN did say I could have them cut out but that seems very painful due to the fact where they are located. I would love to hear any thoughts or advise you have regarding this. Thanks so much for your time and for all you do. I really enjoy listening to your podcasts every day. Angie: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently overcame HPylori and am working on my digestion. I am doing your parasite protocol. started taking your DNS powder and will do the CBO protocol soon. When I took the DNS powder it resulted in pain under my right rib cage, so I lowered my dosage to half a scoop, which helped. My questions is, how do I heal a dysfunctional gallbladder so I don’t have to get it removed? I also have low stomach acid and gastritis, what are your recommendations to heal those? Kirsten: I am on day 1 of the 7 day detox. Regarding days 3-7 vegan/paleo meals what are the thoughts regarding including gluten free grains like quinoa, rice and oats. Also what about raw nuts - walnuts, almonds, cashews? Lastly what about seeds? I have been going through everything and thought it said no grains and the program itself is nut free, I am presuming because the allergen potential, but i can't find specific discussion on these. Thank you Nic: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’ve developed a pterigium on my eye and I wonder if there is anything I can do to make it go away or stop growing? I’m terrified of the thought of surgery down the road. Also, why would I have developed it in the first place? Thank you! Nic Stacey: Hi, I have binge listened to your episodes this week. Carb cycling is a lot of interest to me. I tend to work out daily, so tend to keeps my carbs at the higher end. Is that impacting my weight loss? I’d love to know can you be doing too much. I walk 10,000 steps daily and do a 40-50 min workout each day. Thanks Ryan: Hello, I have a question regarding a friend with Klinefelter syndrome and osteopenia. If you were to take lab tests out of the equation, these 2 conditions I'm sure immediately bring to mind some interventions and practices you would like to prioritise to improve health and balance in the body. I was wondering if you had some ground level go-to advice based on the presence of these 2 conditions?

2115: Detox Protocols Order, Vasomotor Rhinitis, Tight Jaw, Chronic Pelvic Pain, Diverticulitis, Taking Herbs on Fast (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Andrea: I had a question for you based on the health plan you provided me back on 4/7. after completing my metals test. Before I could follow-out this plan of detoxes/metals detox, I had lots of abnormal symptoms begin so I had to see my functional medicine doctor. She performed multiple additional tests and long story short, I was recently diagnosed with SIBO, colon bacteria overgrowth, +e-coli, low sIgA, chronic UTIs, and inflammation/elevated CRP. So in addition to the supplements I normally take, I am now also taking the supplements/herbs (attached) for 3 months. Then the plan would be to complete a general detox and metals detox. The problem is we are trying to get pregnant as soon as we are able to (after this 3 month SIBO treatment plan). So in order to also complete a detox and metals detox, I was curious if I'd be able to complete Dr Calbral's general and metals detox while I am taking the attached supplements? Or must I wait til I'm done with these before starting the detoxes? I noticed the metals detox is 6 weeks and wasn't sure if there is a shorter version of this too? Thanks! Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral! What can you share about vasomotor rhinitis? My allergy doctor believes I have it as my normal allergy symptoms have gotten so much better after many protocols, but I still suffer from one odd symptom - the feeling that my nostrils are inflamed and small, making it hard to get air in through my nose. I frequently end up taking sharp sniffs to get enough air through my nose. There are no other symptoms of this aside from occasional throat (and then chest) pain from being so tense trying to get air in. What can I do to overcome this naturally? Thanks for all you do! Jessi: Hi. Thank you for all that you do, Im new to the podcast, I had one issue (im not 100% sure you answered already i tried to look it up on past podcast, but wasn't able to find anything. My question is of 2 1.) I think every night or a lot of nights I wake up with a tight jaw, I once woke up at 3am and i noticed I had my jaw Clenched, not sure why or if its even a health issue, or mental. 2.) Ever since i can remember I've always only had one nostril working. some times it switches, mostly is my right nostril that gets stuffed or can't breath through it. If you can shed some light on this id appreciate it. Maggie: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am a huge fan of your podcasts and try to follow your advice as much as I can. I have struggled with chronic pelvic pain and inflammation in my lower abdomen for about 9 years. I have had ultrasounds, a CT scan, a cystoscopy, physical therapy, botox injections, antidepressants, was put back on birth control in case it was endometriosis, you name it, I have done it. The pain/inflammation started while I was on a course of metronidazole. Ever since then, I have had recurring yeast infections, white coating on the tongue, depression/anxiety worsened, brain fog and just overall feeling more fatigued and feeling like my immune system isn't as strong as it was pre-pain. After listening to your podcasts I thought it made sense that candida would be the culprit so I am currently on week 5 of the CBO protocol. I have noticed a change in my brain fog, yeast infections, and overall mood, but have had no changes to the constant dull ache and inflammation in my lower abdomen. Do you think that this could possibly be caused by something else? The pain is worse if I worked out recently or tends to be worse at night. I stopped smoking weed as that would make the pain worse, maybe from the change in blood pressure, not sure? Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you so much! James: Hi Doctor Cabral I been diocese diverticulitis and had acute attacked many times over the past 15 years. I have been told to get the operation. I take antibiotics when this happens and know that is also not good for me. However it now is two years since my last attack. I am 65 years old and concerned I may need the operation in later years. How can I prevent it from happening and can I cure it with diet ? I take your supplements especially probiotics. What would you recommend? Trying to avoid an operation and trying to cure it. Alex: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am so thankful for all of the content and energy that you have pushed out for everyone. My question is on shilajit. When you take shilajit, does it break a fast. Thanks again.

2109: Chilazens, Thyroid Protocol Order, Vitamin Ratios, Vegan Protein Gut Problems, Sugar Binging, Male Breast Growth (Gynecomastia) (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Lindsey: hello Dr Cabral. Thank you for all you do. For the last year I have gotten many chilazens on both eyes. At this current moment I have 3 on one eye one on the other. I do the hot compresses every day with no effect. After seeing many doctors one finally diagnosed me with ocular rosacea. Unfortunately the only suggestion was three weeks or more of antibiotics. My question is what is the underlying cause of ocular rosacea, or chilazens in general. The doctor said the oil is stuck in the gland, but I want to know why it keeps happening. Also any recommendations? Thank you! Shari: Hi doctor Cabral, I hope you’re having a great day! I was wondering if you could help me with following: I’ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, SIBO and dysbiosis. I want to start treating them naturally, however I’m wondering which came first - the thyroid problems or gut problems. I feel that one probably caused the other. What are your thoughts about it? And which one should be treated first? Thank you SO much for your podcast and everything that you do! And just FYI - I’ve just purchased the CBO protocol and I have a feeling that it will help me on my way to perfect health :) Shari Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral Hoping you can help. I have completed the full CBO and while on the CBO I was taking Vitamin C crystals for histamine ( I took this type of vitamin C as better for oxolates) towards the end of the CBO I started getting alot of reflux burping etc. I am now on the heal and seal. I have found Vitamin C and anything with citrus like lemons etc causes tingling in my face and hands and now down to feet. I am assuming this is due to low b12 and low iron from low stomach acid. Is it possible Vitaminc C straight ascorbic acid can cause low stomach acid or even push down b12? As I retested my HTMA towards the end of the CBO and my cobolt was down to 0. Before CBO was normal. On heal and seal now and I still have bloating plus tingling and reflux, I have started taking hcl and removed any foods causing me reflux. My main question is, I am concerned I now have a return of SIBO due to low stomach acid, I am a bit concerned of doing the GSE drops again as it's citrus and have done GSE already like 3 times now over a few years, and concerned my stomach lining has eroded Would he clean gut probiotic be enough to help with any remaining SIBO if there is any? Or you can only remove SIBO with GSE, GI balance and clean gut all together? Many thanks for your help much appreciated :) Maria: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’ve been reading a lot about the benefits of plant protein and have been trying to convert myself over to eating less animal protein. My ultimate goal would be maybe 5 animal protein meals a week, instead of the 14 I currently eat. My problem is that I’m having a hard time adjusting to the fiber intake of beans, chickpeas, etc. After eating a meal with 1 cup of black beans or chickpeas, I have horrible gas and bloating. I’ve done the food sensitivity test and no legumes showed up as sensitivities, so I’m guessing this reaction is all due to fiber. How do you suggest I make this conversion? How long should it take for my body to get used to this amount of fiber? Side note, I have awful histamine issues that I’m currently addressing, so I stay away from tofu because of the high histamine level. Currently on week 2 of CBO protocol. Bec: Can you please give me insight into my eating pattern. Largely I am an extremely healthy eater. Green juices (largely veg), balanced meals (protein, fats, Veg) take Foundational supplements, exercise, 3L water & mid week fasting days & don’t take medications. Have done Cabral 21 day detox, Cabral intestinal cleanse (12 months ago) & Liver Cleanse. But I need to understand the psychology of my; 1. Binge eating on sugar. The desire for sugar generally occurs after a healthy meal-but if I sample sugar it turns into a binge ( uncontrollable). I am unable to have a small portion. I don’t understand the physiology/chemistry of my body that I am so overwhelmed with sugar. 2. When Im with a social group and a platter is presented ( cheese, Quince, Crackers). I eat uncontrollably even if I am satiated prior OR a meal is provided after. I try to analyse whether it is nervous energy/do something with hands-but feel Im a confident person and shouldn’t need to obsessively/anxiously snack. 3. Drink Fast-again in social scenarios I drink quickly. I replace some alcoholic beverages with sparkling water to offset the speed and therefore the amount I drink. I also used to be a social smoker-so wonder whether this eating/bingeing behaviour is some mild neurosis. Pls help me understand & overcome. Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a devoted listener and I'm going through IHP level 1 right now and loving it. I researched my question, but couldn't find an answer. Hoping you can help. My husband was recently diagnosed with gynecomastia. He is 6' 1" and 165lbs. Eats a healthy, well balanced diet of mostly organic food and is on a good daily regiment of supplements. He has had the minerals and metals test run about 6 months ago and the hormone test run about a year ago. Both pointed towards his body being under a lot of stress...electrolytes depleted, cortisol high at lunch and too low in the evening, and his DHEA and Testosterone were low (testosterone was 68), estradiol was normal. We implemented the protocols given at the time by his practitioner, including taking DHEA for 12 weeks. The things he is working on are his sedentary lifestyle (he works from home as a computer tech and his low energy makes it hard for him to get up and get moving as much as he would like) and he typically has a drink or 2 most evenings. He's decided to cut back on his coffee and alcohol intake. We are wondering what else we can do to help this problem? Is it an estrogen dominance problem? And if so, could he try Estrogen Balance or a DIM supplement?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Stefanie: Hi doc! Thank you for all of your incredible knowledge! I don’t drink often, probably 2 glasses of wine every two weeks or so. I was thinking of taking some EquiLife FM detox on those nights. Do you think this would be of any benefit at all? If so, is it best to take them before or after drinking? Any other supplement recommendations? Bee: Hi Dr Cabral, I am interested to know your thoughts on clothing and footwear that are made from recycled materials such as plastic bags, plastic bottles, nylon and the like in terms of toxicity/off-gassing etc. There seems to be an increase in 'sustainable' and 'eco' clothing I am seeing around ranging from sportswear and leggings to outer wear and shoes. Are they safe and low-tox to wear in your opinion or would they contribute to ones total toxic load? Love your work! Anonymous: Hi, i am a 17 year old female and have been struggling with insomnia from childhood, i tried different methods for getting rid of it - breath work, reading … ect It works for some time and then i get used to is and back to square one. I heard in one of your podcasts that magnesium supplement and melatonin can work. What are the different and how much and which one should i take? Anonymous: Hi,Dr Cabral. I have a question regarding certain dark areas on my body, my neck, knees and hips (when sitting) are much darker than the rest of my body, what are the reason for this and what are your suggestions on how can to cure this? Thanks in advance Stephanie: Would you say that a sauna puts you in a sympathetic nervous system state? I’m a 23 year old vata with tons of anxiety and cortisol levels through the roof. I have stopped working out for now because it was very high intensity which has only worsen the situation. I will return to working out at some point but while I rebuild my body, I’m sticking to 10k steps daily. I’m trying to find another way to sweat but no sure if a sauna is good for me right now. What are your thoughts? Andrea: Hi! Thank you so much for answering my question! What is the minimum fat percentage you’d recommend for a woman? It seems like a very low fat percentage can sometimes cause hormonal dysfunction. Would you say 15% maybe?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2108 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family)

By now I hope you have heard about all of the health, metabolism, and longevity benefits of omega-3s…   Not only do they help combat high levels of inflammatory omega-6s that show up in processed foods, vegetable oils, non-wild fish, and non-pastured meats, but they act on almost every health system in your body (including your hormones & mood)…   The problem is that most people think they are not eating that many high omega-6 foods and that getting in enough omega-3s while allowing the dis-ease state of the body to manifest - which is why inflammation is referred to as the “silent killer…”   So to be on the lookout for a lack of Omega-3s in your diet I wanted to share with you the major signs of omega-3 deficiency on today’s #CabralConcept 2104 - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2104 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2102: DNS vs DMV, Hypoglycemia, Prostatitis/CPPS, Water Enhancers, Bone Mass, Catching a Parasite (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Samantha: Hi Dr Cabral, I had the big 5 ran and found out I have an extreme sensitivity to vanilla. I also found out I need to stick to a low oxalate diet. :( Would you suggest I take the daily activated multi-vitamin instead of drinking the dns shake since I can't have vanilla or cocoa because it's high oxalate? If so, what would you suggest for a substitute on protein powder? Thank you once again for bringing awareness to so many health concerns. Because of you I was able to bring my TSH number down on my own using Adrenal Soothe and Thyroid Support! :) Jen: I wanted to put in a request for you to do an entire show on the root causes of hypoglycemia. There is a lot of talk surrounding high blood sugar, but my problem is low blood sugar and it really disrupts my life. I know this isn't a simple answer, so I would love to hear a full episode on the topic if you would be willing :) Jason: Hello Dr Cabral, first of all I’d like to thank you for all the content! I really appreciate it :) I’ve been suffering with chronic non bacterial prostatitis / CPPS for the last couple of years. Typical symptoms include: Frequent / urgent urination, Poor urine flow and hesitancy, At times painful urination with a milky/cloudy discharge, Lower abdomen pain, Testicular pain and Perineum pain. The urinary symptoms are present 24/7, however the pains will come and go, my last flare up was really really painful. I have been prescribed many different antibiotics over the years, my doctors use to say I had epididymitis, however it kept coming back year after year. I was finally referred to urology and they said it was non bacterial prostatitis, I couldn’t take flomax due to side effects. I’ve had a CT scan which came back normal and an ultrasound scan of the testicles which came back normal. STD tests all clear. I have regular blood tests and my neautrophil count is slightly low, my doctors have assured me it is nothing to worry about. I have a peanut and nut allergy so I avoid these foods at all costs. I workout 3/4 times per week and use the traditional sauna 4+ times per week. Any advice would be much appreciated. Matt: a friend recently recommended Stur Water Enhancers, it contains Stevia but also contains natural fruit flavor, concentrated white grape juice, citric acid...however it is zero calories but contains 1g carb. will this break my fast for weight loss? Angela: Aloha Dr. Cabral, I don't need to waste precious air-time proclaiming you are a worshipped in my house as a demi-god kahuna. So instead I will pose a question about bone loss. I use a "smart" scale which now says I lost 0.4 lbs. of bone mass over the last 2 months. I am now in the "inadequate" zone of bone mass and it has me concerned. The only thing different I've been doing in the last 2 months is perhaps eating less meat and not as much resistance training. What do you think about the accuracy of these "smart" scales', especially reading one's bone mass, fat and muscle composition? Are there any dietary changes or supplements I should take to increase bone mass? Of note, I'm a 51 y.o. perimenopausal woman trying to prevent old folk problems! I eat a plant-based diet with fish 1x/wk. I am waiting for my Big 5 Lab results to come back as well. Will those results shed light on my bone health? As always, mahalo for all your knowledge. Angela Chris: Hi Doctor Cabral! First I'd like to thank you for being a huge part of who I am today. Your teachings have improved my life in so many ways. My question is about parasites. I had a parasite and took the parasite protocol (Para Support Protocol) by EquiLife and all my parasite symptoms went away. Since one of (if not the only) bad things about eating organic produce is the higher chance of of ingesting parasites. I've seen several videos of people putting organic produce under a microscope and seeing worms inside things like berries. I know there are ways to wash the outside of produce but what do we do about the parasites inside? I'm worried I'll just keep getting them no matter how many parasite protocols I do.

2101: H Pylori Fix, Teeth Hypoplasia, Bragg’s ACV, Face Turns Red, Parasites, Child Food Allergies (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Caroline: I have worked with a functional practitioner for a year and a half to heal my H pylori infection. To treat Hpylori, I used biocidin, bio-HPF and triple probiotics for two months. Now I take bio-HPF and probiotics daily and have no symptoms, however, if I stop bio-HPF, the symptoms come back within two days. I feel amazing on the herbals, but feel extremely defeated that I still have the infection. I am now interested in antibiotics but I am scared of the long term side effects. Do you ever feel like cases are in need of antibiotics or is there is deeper reason I am not fully treating H pylori? I take HCL with my meals to help digestion and have no stomach pain but is it better to avoid these while treating H pylori? Lisa: Dr. Cabral- Thanks for sharing so much great information!! My question is about my granddaughter, 3 years old, who has been diagnosed with enamel hypoplasia (soft enamel). By the time you read this she will have undergone surgery to put crowns on several of her teeth due to widespread decay. Her pediatric dentist says it is due to my daughter having had some some of fever during the pregnancy at the same time the baby's teeth were forming and that there is nothing that can be done for it. The dentist said my granddaughter will always have soft enamel and will probably end up with lots of crowns or implants, possibly false teeth. My daughter is beside herself because she feels it is her fault. She provides good dental care, lots of tooth brushing, limited sugar and processed foods, and no fruit juice. I'm in school for nutritional therapy and even though I've learned a great deal, I'm not sure how to help my granddaughter. She is a picky eater, which might be due to her teeth being uncomfortable - we don't know. Please help me understand what might be done from this point on to help her have the best outcome possible. Thank you! Lisa N Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. We appreciate all you do. May seem like a trivial question and I'm not putting you on spot to promote any brand but when you highlight the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar you typically talk about Bragg's. Would like to know if other brands like Vermont Village, Heinz, Dynamic are also good to use given they're USDA organic, GMP, non GMO and contain the "Mother" too. Thank you Luann: Hello Dr. Cabral! I hope all is well with you today! Do you have any insight into why my face gets very red when I exercise compared to the rest of my body? This has happened even when I was a little kid, and even when I was young and in very good shape running track and cross country. It also happens to my son who is and has always been very athletic. Thank you! Lu Brooke: Hello. My son is almost three. About 6 months ago he had giardia. We gave him what was prescribed and he cleared up. Since then, however, whenever he gets over tired or off schedule for a day, the next day he has diarrhea. We had him retested and he tested negative for giardia but positive for leukocytes in his stool. Do you have any thoughts on what it may be or what the best protocol to help his little guys would be? Thanks so much for your time! Krystle: Hi Dr. Cabral, My question is a bit threefold, so thank you in advance for your review and guidance! I delivered identical twin boys at 33.5 weeks, resulting in a 23 day NICU stay. One of my twins was required to be on a CPAP for lung support. This twin is constantly contracting rsv - the first time needing hospitalization for oxygen support. I’ve been told asthma may be inevitable, so I would like to strengthen his lungs, immunity and try to prevent further complications down the line. My other son is frequently battling eczema - both who are now 2, have been diagnosed with a minimal stove too egg allergy and have been advised they will grow out of it. I have noticed that by removing dairy and gluten, the eczema clears up. Wondering if there are any connections between both twins symptoms or if they are requiring separate treatments. I appreciate your suggestions!

2095: Bumps on Arms, Low Estrogen, Addison’s & Pregnancy, Osteoporosis, Lock Jaw, Ganglion Cysts (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Nicolo: I finished the 21 day detox and feel great. the one issue that i thought would be relieved by the detox was bumps/pimples on back of upper arms and shoulders. i am 44 year old male 6'-1" 200 pounds. Lorena: Hi Dr Cabral! I'd love to get your view on the following: For young women that don't have their periods whether it is due to primary or secondary amenorrhea, are chronic levels of low estrogen an issue? Estrogen levels of 211 pmol/L for example. I've read that: 1. Not having a period is strongly correlated with below normal bone density. 2. Heart function - low estrogen is associated with a increased risk of heart disease as estrogen helps with the formation of hormones like nitric oxide and so keeps levels of vasoconstrictors low. 3. Increased risk neurodegenerative diseases as estrogen is highly protective of brain cells because the cells called microglia are turned off by estrogen and progesterone thus reducing inflammation in the brain. Do you agree on the above? Tessi: I am a 36 year old, and have addison's disease and hypothyroidism. I recently suffered a Missed Miscarriage (silent miscarriage) after being 8 weeks pregnant. Is this common for people who have autoimmune issues? I read that it this type of miscarriage only happens to 3-5% of females...I really want to try to get pregnant again but scared this may happen again.... Currently I'm waiting to get my big 5 lab results back so I can start my healing journey. Lorena: Hi, it's me again :) If the risk for osteoporisis, heart disease and brain diseases are increased on a woman with amenorrhea what would you advice be other than getting the period back? At this point, I give up on getting my period back. It's been years without it since I came off birth control and never got it. I've gone to the best endocronologists and gyneocologists in Germany and they can't figure out why I can't get my period back. All of my hormones are normal according to them. Maybe a little on the lower side when it comes to E2, LH and testosterone but that's about it. I even ran the saliva test with your team and they said that my estrogen, DHEA and progesterone were a little low but nothing crazy out of range for me not to have my period. I did all of your protocols (CBO, CBO finisher, heavy metal detox & more). Foundational protocol level 3 with extra vitamin D & magnesium. One endocrinologist suspects hypothalamic amenorrhea but tbh I doubt it. I'm a 25 year old vata (bmi 20.1. & 14% body fat.,10k steps per day & 30 mins of strength training 4 times a week. Eat 90% plant-based with plenty of protein, carbs and fat approx 2000 calories). Maybe body fat is a little low? I'm doing everything right and I just want my period back. Leandro: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for answering so many questions. I find the answers very helpful and I have learned so much. My question is regarding waking up in the morning with a locked jaw. My wife, for years wakes up most mornings with a locked jaw. You can actually hear her jaw pop, like when you crack your knuckles, when she tries to open it most mornings. Sometimes she says it's stuck for a little bit before she can open it. She has been to a chiropractor and seen other doctors and dentists, but most doctors/dentists recommends she gets a shot of botox to help address it, which she doesn't want to do. Is there anything you could recommend to address this? She has PCOS, but otherwise is a very healthy woman. Thank you. Aubree: My question is, is there an underlying issue that goes along with ganglion cysts? I’ve had two. The first went away on its own and the 2nd one I’ve had for a couple of years. Any help you can give without getting it lanced?Thanks!

2094: Herpes Flare Ups, Supplement Dosing, EMF Sensitivity, Toenail Fungus, Back Acne, Collagen on CBO (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Anonymous: I have HSV-1 (genital) and used to have a flare up once a year, then when I developed a Candida problem it has been 3-4 times a year. After getting the covid vaccine, I am now having outbreaks every 2-4 weeks. For the last 6 months I have completely changed my diet to mostly meat and veggies to keep the right ratio of lysine/arginine in my body. I drink acv with gse and cayenne daily. I run three times a week, get enough sleep, take a multivitamin, etc. I cannot figure out what else this increase in outbreaks is from without linking it to when I got vaccinated. I have a stressful job but have had that stress for years so that is not something recent. I feel like I am starting to become depressed with how often I am going through these outbreaks. Do you have any other recommendations or have you heard of the vaccine being linked to more frequent outbreaks at all? I love your podcast and appreciate any advice you have. Shelly: Hi Doc! Thrilled to have this resource to guide my health. Thank you for your selflessness. I am hoping you can help me with the supplements I am taking. I feel I am double-dipping and not taking them at correct times but it's easiest to take them after I break my fast with a smoothie. I am a 44-yr-old female, 5’5”, 130 lbs, very healthy lifestyle. I strength train 3 days/week, HIIT 2 days, rest 2 days. My workouts are 30 min/day. I start my day with a smoothie: almond milk, DNS & lots of fruits and veggies. I am almost 100% DF and GF. I get 7½-9 ½ hrs sleep/night and fall asleep within 2 min. I fast from 7:30pm-11:30am most days & do one 24-hour fast/mo. I was diagnosed with RA 3 years ago and changed my nutrition immediately. I found out 2 yrs ago that I have a hole in my heart that I was probably born with. 14 years ago I began getting 1 ocular migraine every 2 years. Weird. I haven’t had one in 2-3 years now. I take Pure Curcumin 500 with Biopterin & Vitamin D3 5,000, Nordic Omega 330 EPA/220 HHA, St. Joseph's Aspirin 81m, Magnesium Oxide 500 mg Zinc 15+by Kal, Equilife mushroom pills. What are your thoughts on my situation? Am I taking too much or not enough of something? Thank you so much. Deanna: hi Dr. Cabral, I had some recent blood work done and it came back with low ferritin and low white blood count. My herbalist said to get a covid antibody test which may account for the low white blood cells. That test was negative. I am wondering what other causes might be? In addition, I also have had a lot of random bruising which seems to have mysteriously started since my partner received his vaccine. I have not taken it myself. On a side note, you have answered my question about fever blisters in the past. I have determined that I would get them any time I was in the vicinity of a cell tower. I started researching EMF sensitivity and found that glutathione and NAC are both helpful for mitigating the effects of EMFs. I have not had one fever blister since taking these two supplements. Coincidence? thank you for you podcast! Deanna Ryan: I've been suffering from severe toenail fungus for well over a year. I've done OAT + mycotoxin combo testing and both showed perfect results. Low/normal yeast, fungal, and mold levels. I've been following a healthy diet & lifestyle for years, have done the CBO protocol in full, and continued to follow the diet template in that protocol for the past 1 year since completing it. I've tried foot soaks, topical creams, ointments, essential oils, and literally dozens of proposed toenail fungus remedies and can't beat this thing. I've done extensive ozone (rectal + topical), h202 therapy, IV vitamin C, nail fungus laser removal, and more. Nothing has worked to eliminate the toenail fungus. I don't have any other symptoms or fungal issues anywhere in/on my body (that I know of). I am at the point of trying oral itraconazole or terbinafine. I have been reluctant up until this point due to potential side effects, but I feel I have exhausted virtually all-natural health options and they do have a high success rate. I'm not looking for any medical advice, simply your personal opinion on oral anti-fungal drugs and what you would do in this situation (hypothetically speaking of course). Lily: Hi Dr.Cabral, Do you have any advice regarding back acne in male adults? My husband has been experiencing a lot of acne all over his back, shoulders, and chest. Some are very deep, and some are blackheads. We have tried soaps for sensitive skins and also acne body washes and spray that contains salicylic acid. Could it be something in his diet? I tried to search your podcast but could not find anything on this specific subject. Thank you so much for your time and your wonderful podcast! Chelsea: Hi Dr. Cabral! Fellow Bostonian living down under in Australia. Sharing your podcast far and wide down here! Thanks for all you do - you're truly amazing at what you do, and so generous to share such in-depth knowledge with the community! I just started the limited yeast protocol after reviewing my labs with your team. Leading up to now I've often used a high quality flavourless collagen protein/beef gelatin powder made of bovine hides (see below for link) as I'm mostly plant based but struggle to digest plant proteins. Would this disrupt the CBO/limited yeast protocol or hinder my results? I often put in smoothies as I like that it's tasteless which I like, but don't want to compromise my results. I take the daily nutritional support separately in a little shake with water as I like the fresh unflavoured taste of fresh fruit and veg in a smoothie. Also just curious why things like nuts, seeds, red meat, and bone broth aren't allowed during limited yeast protocol as I wouldn't have associated them with high yeast! Thanks again for all you do and for the time you spend sharing with the community!

2088: Mewing, Teenage Anxiety, Stress & Progesterone, Persistent Psoriasis, Nighttime Hypoglycemia, Iodine & Hashimoto’s (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. Hope all is well with you and family. I read James Nestor's Breathing book on your recommendation and after hearing him on your show. What are your thoughts on "mewing" as recommended in the book. If it's something you believe has benefits (or drawbacks) is it possible for you to discuss it further? Thank you Anonymous: Hi dr cabral, thank you infinitely for all you do and your passion for sharing your knowledge with us.. i love listening to the podcast. My question is for my daughter who is 18. She is in college and is busy. She enjoys exercising and is on the cheer team so lots of tumbling and is active but she suffers from anxiety. Some days worse than others, especially these days. I too have it. I take the adrenal soothe. Would that be something that she could take as well ? Any other suggestions ? Thanks so much again - take care Nicole: Hi Dr Cabral! First off, thank you for all of the time and effort you put in…it is GREATLY appreciated! I have been struggling with severe cramping, bloating and back pain about 7 days before my period starts. I’ve also had lab work done over the years and it has shown that my progesterone typically peaks within a high range during first half of luteal phase but then drops off “earlier than desired” (a quote from my RE). My question is, could my low progesterone be solely due to high cortisol (which I already know is one of my issues) or could it be caused by insufficient egg quality/premature ovarian failure? Is there any way to know for sure? Can the two be related? Any other advice on how to increase egg quality would be greatly appreciated! Carrie-Ann: Thank you a million times over for all that you do for this world. 12 months ago I did the big 5 labs and in the last 12 months I have done the 21 detox, CBO protocol with finisher and citrocidal drops, intestinal cleanse, heavy metal detox, 7 day detox, another 3 weeks of citrocidal drops (as symptoms hadn’t cleared) and I continue to take your DNS, DFVB, magnesium, zinc, probiotic, vitamin C and D, fish and fish oil daily. I am IHP level 2 certified and also I have been a chiropractor for the last 20 years. I’ve lived a natural healthy lifestyle for the last 15-20 years. After having my first baby 10 years ago I developed psoriasis and now also have high grade cervical dysplasia. Since starting your protocols I’ve had some great things change. My two fungal toenails are almost all grown out normal and I’ve had 2 plantar warts on the soles of my feet for years and they are both gone. I’m thrilled about both these changes as it really lets me know things are improving internally. Although I have seen no change in my psoriasis and I still have high grade cervical dysplasia (confirmed 2 weeks ago with biopsy and colposcopy). So finally to my question, what more can I do? I have no other symptoms. Digestion is great, I sleep well, my stress levels are low and I love my life. Lilly:  Hi doctor Cabral, After you talked about your experience with a CGM, I started wearing one and am learning so much about my diet. Thank you for that great tip! I’ve noticed that my sugar drops extremely low a few times a night and I usually wake up when that happens. I think I know what’s causing it: I eat a very early dinner and fast until breakfast. And I know that in order to prevent the nighttime dips, it would be good to eat something before sleep, but I really don’t want to break my (clean) fast. Is there anything you could recommend to prevent the nighttime hypoglycemia, without using food? Thanks so much! Lilly Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, First off I want to say thank you for all that you do. Your passion for helping people is truly remarkable and it is much appreciated! My question is regarding the use of iodine with autoimmune diseases, particularly Hashimotos. I have done a lot of research on this and listened to some of the top autoimmune specialists and most of them seem to agree that taking iodine, whether from foods or supplements, can do more harm than good. Their argument is that an autoimmune condition is basically and overactive immune system and Iodine can also increase the activity of the immune system, which in turn increases the autoimmunity. They claim there are numerous research papers in scientific literature that shows when Hashimotos patients are given iodine, their autoimmune condition can flare up. I would love to hear you thoughts on this and whether or not you recommend iodine for your patients that have Hashimotos. Thank you so much!!

2087: Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Ingrown Toenail, Battling Mold, Swollen Eyes, Low Oxalates & Stones, Toddler Eczema (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Leanne: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a question regarding FASD, Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder. What advice can you give for a 9yr old boy affected by FASD? Symptoms are vast but include sleep issues, mood and behavioral problems, learning difficulties, ADD type behaviors although we've had an assessment for autism and add and there was no diagnosis given. Any input you have will be gratefully received! Thanks. Josh: Hey I have been having an issue with an ingrown toenail. I've had a round of antibiotics and a podiatrist trimmed the nail and didn't do the full procedure. Going back for a checkup on Sept 21. I think the nail is getting infected again, I've been soaking it in epson salt and treating it with neosporin. I've just recently learned of your podcast and was wondering what could I treat my toe with instead of neosporin, didn't realize that it was an antibiotic. Thanks! Tammi: Dr Cabral, Thank you for all the information you provide on your show. I have been listening to your show for quite some time and often though man this guy discusses mold lot. I realize that mold can be a huge issue but coming from the West Coast with our dry heat there’s never really an issue. I also have lived in Japan but we had dehumidifiers in each room so still mold and mildew were never an issue. Fast forward to a few weeks ago (the beginning of August) my husband, our 13 month old and I moved to Boston. Now I’m blown away and get that mold is a crazy real thing here, that I just don’t know how to manage. For example, I bought a watermelon less than a week later when my husband went to cut it there was mold underneath the watermelon. Our bathroom is constantly mildewy despite the dehumidifier being right outside the door. Our water bottles need to be scrubbed weekly even if they only contain water… I have asked several people we have met about the humidity, how they manage it in there homes and I really just don’t get any response other than yea it’s an issue. Could you please explain to someone who just does not know how to manage the humidity here, what do I need to be doing to manage it and to keep our family safe? Thank you Feeling ridiculous and lost Chad: Hello Dr. Cabral, love everything you do. For the past 6 months I have been miserable in my own home with near crippling allergies. When I wake up in the morning my eyes are swollen and itchy, I sneeze about 20 times and my head feels like it’s underwater. The worst part is that my sinuses are swollen shut so breathing my nose is next to impossible. I’m almost positive the allergen is in my house ie. mold, dust mites, or some other indoor allergen. What would your advice be for the first step to solving this so that I can get my life back to normal. Thank you very much, Chad Samantha: Hi Dr Cabral, After running my big 5 labs it was recommended I stick to a low oxalate diet. I have read this will help with kidney stones although I haven't had any as of yet, I'm 43, but my question is if it has any connection to help with tonsil stones? I am currently starting the CBO protocol with my mom and hoping it will cure the chronic tonsil stones but if it hasn't I'm hoping to find another answer. I have listened to all previous podcasts on tonsil stones and have followed all advice regarding gargles etc BUT maybe the CBO will get me there as I know it's a biggie. I just wonder if eating low oxalate could help as well?? Thank you so much Dr Cabral. You truly are amazing. June: Hello, I have been a long timer follower, dedicated to the detox protocol and beyond. With all the podcasts available and the search engine supplied, i am unable to find a podcast that would support my dilemma. My son who has a two year old is suffering from excema and has been prescribed multiple doses of steroids “GULP” (against my counsel) is now reaching out to me for help. What podcast would be best to send to him regarding this issue. As much as I try, I cannot find out the 100’s of podcasts one that speaks to this directly. Thank you, thank you, thank you Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2087 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family)

2081: Ganglion Cyst, Vitamin D Lamp, Bacterial Vaginosis, Calming Supplements, Chilblains, No Period (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Cassandra: Hi Dr. Cabral, Since about December I've noticed a ganglion cyst on my wrist. It goes away occasionally but eventually comes back. I asked a physician about it and they said it could be drained but still could come back eventually. The only other solution they suggested is to remove it surgically but only as a last resort if it becomes very painful. Do you know of any natural ways to get rid of this. It's not super painful in daily life but quite uncomfortable if I'm holding a plank for example.  Thanks! Karen: Hi Dr. Cabral! I remember you discussing the Sperti lamp for vitamin D absorption and was wondering if you had been able to test out the lamp? If so, what was your consensus? Super-interested in hearing your thoughts! Alyssa: Hi Dr Cabral! I have bacterial vaginosis on and off for months on end.. i really don’t want to have to take antibiotics as I have a liver and GI disease and autoimmune issues I’m working through with nutrition and holistic modalities. I know antibiotics will really set me back… I know you can’t prescribe, just wondering, do you have any natural suggestions to remedy BV? Thank you immensely! Angele: Hello, I am looking for a natural supplement to keep me calm. I become very nervous when I have to see the doctor and cause my BP to go extremely high.Thanks in advance. Stacey: Hi Dr Cabral! My name is Stacey, I'm 29 and an Australian listener. We have just had our winter and during that time I noticed the ends of my toes were getting really itchy, red and swollen, it was such an uncomfortable feeling. I was told I have chillblains and that there isn't really a cure then to just keep your feet warm at all times. I must say that has helped so much. But I wonder if this is a response to something else? I have never had this issue before I tried to search up the issue on your podcasts but couldn't find any resources. Thanks so much for your help. Stacey Sarah: Hi! Love your podcast! I’d love for you to review the book called “No period, now what” by Lisa Sanflippo.

2080: Toxic Laxatives, Virus Depression, Reactive Hypoglycemia, Mom Baby Gut Issues, Immune Reaction Individuality, Detox After Shot (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Vabona: Hi! I recently found out that miralax has ingredients in it that are found in antifreeze. Said ingredients are said to cause many problems including neuropsychiatric and kidney problems. I have miralax to my son for a while from my drs recommendations. I’m terrified of all the damage I have done. What can I do to help my 5 year old detox that is safe. Thank you Dana: I had a moderate case of covid a month ago and feel depressed ever since. I am 48 and perimenopausal and am wondering if covid causes any vitamin/mineral deficiencies or hormonal changes that may contribute to depression? Prior to getting covid I was taking vit d, c, b complex, magnesium and occasional zinc as well as methylfolate for mthfr def. (one copy). I am prone to seasonal affective disorder but always feel great in summer so this is unusual for me. Thank you! Love your podcast! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thanks for taking the time to answer so many questions. I have a question about non-diabetic reactive hypoglycemia. I searched old episodes & found a brief explanation on episode 218 but I think my question is more specific. I have not been officially diagnosed. No matter the amount of carbs I eat or don't eat, my blood sugar drops an hour after I eat a meal to sub 70. At times sub 60. But then 2-3 hours later it spikes. During the day the spike is generally 100-120 but after dinner its 120-150. Fasting BS is below 70-90. I dip into sub 60 during the nights a lot. My sugars are relatively low most of the day until my dinner meal & that is when I get 120-150. It still goes back under 100 before bed. I am wearing a CGM to try to see if I can identify the issue & so far no luck. Like I mentioned the same meal can cause little to no drop/spike & then the next time I have it it does. I have heard that Reactive Hypoglycemia is a precursor to diabetes so I would really like to fix the underlying root cause before that becomes an issue. I eat whole foods 95% of the time, I intermittent fast 12-14hours. I work out 2 cardio 3 strength per week. I try to walk at least 30 minutes each day. Drink lots of water. Thanks for your help! Megan: Hi Dr. Cabral, I absolutely love your podcast!! I’ve learned so much and implemented many of your suggestions while healing my body. My question is about my 18 month old son. I now know that when I was pregnant I had Candida, SIBO, and parasites. I’m worried I have passed these conditions on to my baby. I nursed him for 16 months and during that time I unknowingly detoxed some of the Candida. I believe the toxins got into my breastmilk, as my baby had really bad eczema during this time and has had a hard time eating solids as well. I feel awful. I’m concerned about gut issues developing as he gets older. How can I help my baby get as healthy as possible moving forward? Thank you so so much for your passion & sharing your wisdom! Maria: Hi Dr! I have been curious about this for some time. Both my parents have received the AZ vacc, and their reactions were entirely different. My father felt absolutely normal the following days whereas my mother had severe fever, chills, headache for about 24hr. Would this be due to bio individuality or have something to do with the strength/over reactivity of their immune system, if so, is there a favourable response? Thanid: I had the jab and l regret it. How do l detox it from my body.

2074: ACV Hype, Low Sperm Pill, Weed & Immunity, Arthritis Relief, Low REM, High Electrolytes on Lab (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Simon: Hi Dr Cabral. What do you think about the hype surrounding apple cider vinegar and especially taking it before/during a meal to aid digestion? Is this a good thing to do daily (I would assume with the largest or highest protein meal). Which people and meals would this be most beneficial for? Javan: Can any over the counter pills help husband with low sperm count or mobility Maggie: Is smoking weed bad for your immune system? It helps me to de-stress after work and turn my brain off of work-mode and I have noticed that it helps me fall asleep but I worry that it’s disrupting the quality of sleep I’m getting. I currently smoke every day and have read some contradicting things about it either being great for you or suppressing your immune system. Penelope: hi Dr Cabral, I am writing on behalf of my mom. She is in her 70s and has arthritis and is constantly in a lot of body pain. She does get relief from acupuncture that was advised by her doctor if she goes once a week. However, this isnt always possible and sometimes goes a few weeks without it (and recently longer). So I was wondering if there is anything else she can do at home that is long lasting to relieve the pain? Thank you for all that you do. Chelsea: Hi Dr. Cabral! Question from down in Australia! I got an Oura ring after hearing some of your podcasts on REM sleep and am loving it. I’m noticing that I’m getting 2-3.5 hours of deep sleep, but not much REM sleep (ie 45 mins to an hour and it’s usually between 5 and 7am). Is that normal? I have good sleep hygiene but my Oura ring is telling me my REM is low. Is it ok to have REM lower if deep sleep is higher? Based on my charts I’m getting lots of good deep sleep from 10pm - 1am. If I’ve tried all the pointers in your past podcasts about REM sleep but am not seeing an improvement, is it possible I just get less REM than most? Thanks for all you do to share helpful information on holistic health! I learn from you every day and share your work often! Alyssa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was hoping to get some further clarification on my htma lab. I went over it with my health coach during big 5 labs, and I didn’t fully understand the explanation as to why I am dumping large amounts into my hair! My calcium was 271, my magnesium was 44, my sodium was 356 and Potassium was 5. I also tested high in aluminum at 5.32. I’m 36 with controlled RA due to your protocols (thank you!), live a healthy lifestyle, eat well and exercise. I started getting debilitating migraines in February after my second Vacc and histamine reactions to a lot of foods. Because of this I had to quit working full time as an RN in May. Otherwise I’d say I’m pretty healthy and feeling better since running your labs and putting in work on protocols. Do you mind further explaining why I would be dumping so large volumes of certain minerals into my hair? Thank you!

2073: Earbud Radiation, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Adult Cereal, PVC Clay Toxicity, Breaking Up Walks, Strategic Napping (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Rhea: Hi Dr. Cabral - Can you please provide a point of view on Waveblock's radiation deflectors for Bluetooth earbuds? While it deflects radiation from the ear/brain, could that be absorbed elsewhere in the process of deflection? I would love to know if you think this is a safe solution. THANK YOU! MORE INFO ON WAVEBLOCK: Maelys: Hello Doctor. I discovered your podcast few months ago and I listen to you every morning on my way to work. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge. I have hidradenitis suppurativa, it is « genetics » as my sisters, mom and her mom also suffer from it. Do you have any advices? Have you help any client to put it in remission? I have been very ill for the last year and a half. I am literally feeling half alive… I found a great GP that diagnosed candida overgrowth (Candida albicans) currently treating it with nilstat I am wondering if those 2 conditions could be linked? Therefore HS won’t’ be genetics but a symptom of candida overgrowth that is transmitted by the mother’s vagina canal at birth? Thank you Leandro:Hi Dr. Cabral. I enjoy listening to your podcast and have learned a lot from them. I wanted to ask if you ever tried Magic Spoon cereal and would you recommend it? It's supposed to be a healthy alternative to traditional cereal. https://magicspoon.com/ Thanks, Leandro Danielle: Hi Dr. Stephen Cabral, Big fan of yours! I was recently diagnosed with Hashimotos Hypothyroidism and have been detoxifying my environment. For the past 2 years I have been working with Polymer Clay as a hobby. I recently looked into what this "non-toxic" clay was made out of and it is man-made from a plastic, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) base. Would you advise staying away from this material as someone with an autoimmune disease? Thank you! Hilary: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a new listener and am a huge fan, currently working through the backlog of podcasts. I have a question regarding daily activity. Like many these days, I work from home and am currently finishing my Bachelors Of Science in Health and Wellness (then plan to move on to the IHP courses!). I am 44 years old, had my last baby at 38 and have never been someone who has had trouble with my weight. I am a kapha body type, very curvy and gain weight evenly everywhere when I put weight on. I never lost the “baby weight” from having my last child and have put on about 15 extra since then. Completely due to a sedentary desk job at home, combined with being tethered to the computer after work to work on my degree. Needless to say, I have a very hard time getting my 10,000 steps as it seems there are simply just not enough hours in the day between work, school and commutes back and forth to pickup/ drop off of kids. Do you have any recommendations for how I can get my 10,000 steps in, if they’re broken up in chunks are they still effective? I follow a 14/10 to 16/8 intermittent fasting schedule 7 days per week and since hearing your podcast, do not eat after 6pm on any given day. I am very careful of my caloric intake, keeping my total calories right about 1500. Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am a big fan and super enjoy your podcast. It has really sparked an interest in the field of natural medicine and health and I hope to be enrolled in your ihp program in the next year :) I have a question around napping. I have a newer job where I am up before 5:30 and working by 6:30. After 8-9 hours of working and being stimulated by tons of people and things to do I feel like I absolutely have to lay down. I take great naps between 20-30mins and feel refreshed, mind cleared and like I can continue on with my evening normally. I can get overwhelmed and stressed with work, take adrenal soothe daily (3-4 capsules) and was wondering if this is normal, and why I need extra sleep at 3pm after early and eventful workdays. I go to bed 9:30-10:30 every night, sleep well, and am a pitta-kapha body type and 27 years old if that adds anything. I have listened to your show on napping and wanted to hear any additional thoughts. Thank you!

Check out today's questions:  Elizabeth: Hi!! Can you please explain how an imbalanced microbiome can lead to acne please? I know about food sensitivities causing inflammation and therefore skin issues. But assuming that there aren’t any food sensitivities, how can a dysbiosis lead to acne? Does it increase sebum production? Thank you so much. Karim: Hi Doc! I'm obsessed with your podcast by the way. It's the best podcast in the world. It really is, so take a moment to appreciate that. What a wealth of knowledge you have. Oh my gosh! So, I'm trying to establish what the best time to wake up is. I'd love to wake up at 5 or 6 but I try to get a little more sleep because I'm a Vata body type so I tend to wake up at 7am. I saw that cortisol starts to rise at 6am but then according to Ayurveda we need to wake up during the Vata hour which is 4am and 5:30. Not in the Kapha hour which is 6am to 10am. A little confused about this because it doesn't align with the natural cortisol levels. I would have assumed that the Vata time would be when cortisol begins to rise (6am)? Sophia: Hi there doc! I’ve been binging your podcast for about 4 months now and am loving it as a part of my morning routine. You’re such a great part of my life and I truly thank you for all that you do. Keep up your fantastic work! I have a somewhat contentious question regarding research studies - what is your opinion on getting “open access” to all research? I appreciate that with your Friday podcasts, you are able to give a simplified analysis of these long and highly esoteric studies to laypeople like me, but you’ve inspired me to do my own research now. Do you have any advice for obtaining “research study literacy”? Which research libraries do you use for your Friday reviews? I notice it’s mostly pubmed, but do you use Springer or do you have a membership with SSRN? I know some people have access to their university libraries, but I do think those expire. How do you check to make sure your studies aren’t contaminated with monetary agendas from certain sponsors? Do you only read ones that are free access? Do you think it’s worth it to become a member to certain libraries that are doing good and necessary research? If so, which ones do you like? Any thoughts would be great. Sorry for the tirade of questions, and thanks again. Much love, from Sophia Katlynn: Hello Dr. Cabral, I am 30 years old and had my first child naturally Aug 2020. Prior to pregnancy I was slightly overweight but not showing symptoms of toxic overload etc. I competed in powerlifting, practiced yoga, hiked mountains, and worked as a full time firefighter. Since having my baby I have had nothing but inflammation symptoms in my body. I have adjusted my diet back to an anti-inflammatory plan and am following your guidance as far as reducing the amount of meat I eat daily/increasing veg(also finding more quality sources of food). I recently did a 14 day detox with good results. I finally dropped below 180#for the first time since pregnancy. My goal weight and competition weight is 150-155. I am short statured at 5’3” but typically maintain 150 at 20% BF or so. This is the weight/body comp I feel the strongest and healthiest. I am being diligent about my diet and exercise and balancing my stressful job with relaxation to limit my stress response. My feeling is that something with pregnancy has completely thrown me off. I believe it was that tipping point of my rain barrel but I am diligently reducing my toxic load. My question finally, is- what advice do you have regarding remineralization/ nutritional support for a woman after pregnancy given some of my info? Anonymous: Dr. Cabral, I’m writing out of a place of desperation. I feel like my body is literally breaking down, but realize that I cannot give in to that mindset; that will not serve me. My health is negatively affecting my daily functioning. I need direction on what to do, explore, & next steps. I’ve learned a great deal from you, & for that am grateful. I struggle with symptoms of fatigue & sleep issues, urticaria & skin issues, cysts, digestive issues, hx of rheumatoid arthritis & allergies, inflammation, weight issues, cold hands & feet, brain fog & memory issues, mild fibroids, struggle with word recall, imbalanced cortisol, etc. There are recent concerns about blood pressure & cholesterol. My heart rate is usually elevated, between 100-150ish. Even when I wake up, it’s in the 100’s. I’ve been to many doctors & specialists. I started my holistic health journey by running labs with your team & then found an integrative provider to support me locally. I’ve done thermography, which revealed lymph congestion, inflammation & my immune system is chronically activated. I've completed mold & CBO protocols. Next thoughts are to explore metals/biodentist, hidden infections & lyme. What else should I be looking at? I respect your opinion and perspective. Thank you for your patience. Andrea: Hey Doc! I'm a 23 year old female Vata. My breakfast for almost two years was always wild blueberries, GF oats, oat milk, DNS powder and a tsp of mct oil or another healthy fat. Recently, I have replaced the blueberries with banana and 2 teaspoons of organic matcha. And to be honest, I'm obsessed I love it! I just feel a little bad because I know that having wild blueberries everyday is important for the antioxidants and anti-carcinogenic benefits. Did I make a bad decision? I've read that 1 tsp of matcha has 17 times more antioxidants than blueberries. So maybe I'm fine? Do you think switching back to blueberries is vital or I'm I getting the same benefits with the banana and organic matcha?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2067 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family)

2066: No Saliva, Interstitial Cystitis, Immediate Gas, Reading HRV, Low HRV, Dyspareunia/Vaginal Atrophy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Whitney: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have had a strange condition for several years that no one and no doctor can solve. In 2017, I had breast implants placed due to breast abnormalities from breast feeding. Three months after surgery, I stopped producing my own saliva. ENT placed me on pilocarpine to initiate saliva production. Fast forward two years, I moved into a house with black mold. The environment in my mouth/nose became extremely sticky and glue - like. The only relief I get from this is taking an anti fungal lozenge, clomitrazole. I am taking an astonishing 600 lozenges a month that are coupled with the 200 pilocarpine pills a month. *side note* was also exposed to heavy metals (unknown type) in 2018. ANY info on this or ways I could improve would be greatly appreciated. It’s getting worse, and the needs for these prescriptions are becoming increasingly alarming and monetarily taxing. submitted earlier,  I also had an explant/ capsulectomy this past March 2021 due to concerns that my breast implants were causing my lack of saliva and sticky glue like issues. It has not eased and possibly gotten worse. I’m also blowing my nose up to 100 times a day with black debri coming out. Was on itraconazole in 2020 for six months due to possible systemic fungal infection. Just trying to give you as many facts as possible so you can help me figure out this miserable and horrible puzzle. Thank you so much, Dr Cabral!!!! Christina: Hi there. I have suffered with interstitial cystitis since 2018. I am a 31 year old woman who is a school teacher and mother of 2. I am hoping you can answer what good supplements are great for IC also what is the root cause? Thank you! Anonymous: When someone has bad smelling flatulence almost immediately (within 5-10 mins) after eating processed foods (bakery sweets for example), what could be going on for it to occur so fast? Karim: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you for showing up everyday for your community. You are extraordinary. I recently bought an Oura ring and I'm trying to understand it as much as I can. The main reason that I bought it was to track my sleep and HRV. I wear a fitbit at the same time and the sleep data in my fitbit is very different to the oura ring (fitbit always says less deep & rem sleep funnily enough) so not sure which one to trust. I'm guessing the oura ring? haha My second question is about HRV. And yes, I did listen to conversations with Dr Cabral on this topic but I'm just having a hard time understanding where to look at. Since the HRV is based on the previous night, whenever I see a lower HRV, what day do I need to look at? Would it be the factors (lack of sleep, poor diet, stress, etc) on the previous day? Sorry, I know my question is a little confusing and I hope it makes sense. I just want to know what period I need to look at when trying to identify why my HRV was lower than usual. This will allow me to work on it better by figuring out what specific factor caused this decrease. Karim: Sorry I forgot to ask you in my previous question if a lower HRV is always a bad thing? Is it true that when your HRV drops, it indicates that one branch of your autonomic nervous system (ANS) is becoming more dominant, either your rest-and-digest or fight-or-flight side? So actually, if my PNS increases, my HRV will drop and so it's actually a good thing right? If that's the case, I'm confused as to why everyone is focusing on increasing HRV… Anonymous: What can help with dyspareunia - a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, due to menopause. My wife had a hysterectomy years ago. She is using a prescription product- Intrarosa Prasterone , but this gives her headaches and other negative symptoms.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2066 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family)

2063: Overcome Leptin Resistance to Burn More Fat (WW)

One of the biggest issues that anyone looking to lose weight and burn more body fat needs to overcome is hormonal imbalances…   We’ve been taught for too long that it’s simply calories in versus calories out, but if that were the case then why is it that when you alleviate a person’s hormonal or metabolic imbalance they go on to lose weight effortlessly at the same caloric intake that was once causing them to gain weight?    There are levels to the wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging game and once you master the basics it’s important to take a deeper dive into what may really be holding you or someone you know back from achieving their goals…   That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 2063 I’d like to share with you how to overcome leptin resistance to burn more fat - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2063 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2060: Long-Term Viral Issues, Minimum Age for Coaching, Dry Mouth, Magnesium Sulphate, Die Off, Missing Menstrual Cycle (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Lorena: Hi Doc! I'm a 23 year old and it's been 3 weeks since I got the virus and my hair started falling dramatically. I was very healthy prior getting it: DNS, omega 3, zinc, vitamin D, magnesium, collagen, vitamin C and probiotic every day. Even added NAC, quercetin and reishi mushroom to my daily supplement protocol. Exercised 4-5x a week, eat an organic and 90% plant-based diet. I'm very diligent with my protein and always make sure there is about 20-30g of protein in each meal. I was very surprised on how hard the virus hit me, I thought that it wouldn't affect me much due to being so young and healthy... Anyways my questions are: 1. Why do you think my hair is falling so much after the virus? I'm taking around 50mg of zinc everyday 2. I still have a lot of mucus stuck on my chest and I keep coughing. I thought this should have been gone by now. Any advice? 3. My taste and smell are not back yet, any advice? 4. My fitness is still far from what is used to be. Is this normal Melanie:What's the reason as to why your health coaching team only work with children above 3? BTW your work is amazing, I recommend this podcast to everyone! Aleita: I am suffering from chronic dry mouth. I’ve had trouble with it within this last year. I thought maybe doing the cleanse would help. But I am on my second week and still no relief. What podcast would help me gain some information? Yeysebell: Hi, your podcast is so amazing. Thank you So here it is. Back in country (Cuba) pharmacist prepare a remedy for the body to clear impurities and other agents that cause a reaction on people’s health. It’s magnesium sulphate at 33% (it is diluted in water) I would love to know why it works. I had one time like cystic acne that happened over night literally. Woke up one day with huge pimples everywhere. After taking that, which it was an entire littler (taking like a shot every morning) everything cleared in 15 days. Not just that, I also had te glow of a baby and that Qi. I looked much younger than what I was (I was only like 17 at that time). My brother who used to have a extrema reaction to insects bites and other allergens, wasn’t ever again so allergic after taking it as well. He is now 33 and even the biggest cut heals super fast. A little more, it’s used to treat preeclampsia as well there. Thank you so much in advance Michael: Hi Dr Cabral, how can someone reduce die off symptoms when using biocidin to kill mold, candida and h pylori? Estefania: Hello, My name is Estefania Ramirez, I am 38 years young. I was born in Mexico, but I currently live in Spain. I began intermittent fasting in mid 2017. I began with 12 hours, now I do 15 hours. I fast, but do not have a low caloric diet. My ingest is mainly plant based and seafood, I try to avoid meat. Also, I do eat other sources, besides vegetable, CHOs. I do avoid simple sugars. In mid 2018 my menstrual cycle began to disappear. I am currently in hormone replacement therapy. I do not have any other side effects, only amenorrhea. My lab tests have always been normal. I had hypothiroidism when I was 14/15 years young. After taking levothyroxine for a 3 years, my physician cleared me off the medication. Even when I'm under medical supervision, I would love to hear the opinion of Dr. Cabral.

2059: Eating Cupcakes, Sunglasses Harming You, Eye Drops, DHEA Supplementing, Belly Fat Show, Honey Water (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Priya: Please I want to eat cupcakes. Can we have desserts on our cheat meals for the CBo 3 month plan? Darren: Hey Dr. Cabral. Is there any truth to the theory that sunglasses are harmful because they tell your eyes you're 'not in the sun' - but your skin IS - preventing your body from protecting itself? Some are saying it's best avoid because they also disrupt circadian rhythm and enrich unscrupulous companies. In your experience, do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you for all you do Blake: First off, your work in the functional medicine realm is so impressive. With all the research and knowledge you present to us, the passion is truly contagious. I'm in my mid 30s and since beginning of high school, I've had more noticeable vessels in my eyes. The insecurities that came with it have been with me for that time as well. I don't leave the house without putting drops in my eyes because I can't handle someome thinking I'm on drugs. In my 20s I went to all the doctors and specialists of traditional medicine to have them tell me it's dry eyes. I don't have allergies and I've done many diets to see how that would affect them. I just live my life now as it's just who I am. Is there something I'm missing that can improve my red eyes? And am I doing any long term damage by using drops every day? Thank you for all that you do. Kind regards. Kristin: Hi Dr. cabral! I completed the stress and metabolism labs and my cortisol came back high and my DHEA came back on the low end, 3.5 (2-23 are the normal range as you know). While it wasn't recommended that I take DHEA by my health coach, I feel as though I have all of the major symptoms especially low libido, difficulty losing weight, and brain fog. I'm 28yo and on Loloestrin birth control which affects hormones. Is it safe to supplement with the Equilife DHEA? If so, how long should I do so for? Senna: Hi doctor Cabral! I would love it if you could do a full show on different kinds of belly fat (hormonal belly, stress belly, etc) and the best ways to get rid of it. Thanks so much in advance! Senna Jen: I am a Vata body type that struggles with hypoglycemia. I have belly fat around my belly button that I can never seem to get rid of. I am starting to suspect that the constant ups and downs of my blood sugar are putting stress on my body and causing the accumulation of this fat. I've heard you say that for hypoglycemia, one can take a tablespoon of honey upon waking. Do you think this would help cut the cortisol in the morning and help with the fat accumulation problem? Trying to brainstorm how to solve this.

2053: Supplement Timing, Iron Absorption, Hernia Healing Options, Gassy Stomach When Sleeping, Vata-Kapha, Dizzy Upon Standing with Heat (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Sara: Hi! I was just wondering about when the optimal time of day is to take your capsules/supplements. I was wondering if taking them at night before bed might contribute to your GI system being too active similar to eating late, or if taking them in the morning might stimulate the system as well and maybe interrupt a fast. Thank you so much for your time and consideration, I recently discovered you through Sahara Rose’s podcast and I feel incredibly grateful for all your hard work and expertise that you share with us. Have a great day! Maria: Long time listener to the show (in fact I haven’t missed an episode for nearly two years!) my question is, having low iron levels, I supplement with iron bisglycinate and am curious as to whether this form or iron is heme or non-heme or neither. And whether then pairing this with vitamin C will help with absorption. I have read somewhere that vitamin C only helps the absorption of non-heme iron, curios for your thoughts! Thanks Tracy: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you so much for all you do. I no longer listen to music on my way to and from work because I don’t want to miss a show. My question today is this: I’ve recently been diagnosed with a Ventral Hernia. I have had two children and I’m over 40. I know that my lack of exercise after having kids has most likely contributed to this. I also have diastasis recti which I’m currently working on healing. So the question is, Can you heal a hernia naturally. I live a toxin free life and would rather not having a permanent staple in my body. Thank you again Amanda: Hello, What does it mean or is it a sign of that my stomach gets very, very gassy when I lay down to go to sleep, and when I wake up in the morning. The rest of the day I feel normal. It doesn't make a difference when or what I eat. It is a consistent symptom every night, and most mornings. Meagan: Hi Dr. Stephen Cabral. I am a long-time listener of your podcast and follower on Instagram. The information you put out is invaluable! Recernly, I have been diving into ayurvedic medicine and trying to discover my dosha body type. I listened to your first few podcast episodes about this topic and was trying to use your celebrity pictures as an example, but the one body type combination that I think I am —Vata-Kapha female—did not have an example on the show notes page of that episode. I was wondering if you could explain in more detail the difference between the Vata-Pitta dosha and the Vata-Kapha dosha body type. I think I am one of these but can't figure out which one. Thank you! Sara: Thank you for all the years of education and content! I do sauna and hot yoga and I find myself getting pretty dizzy after (when I stand up). If happens even after a hot bath. I’ve done this heat therapy for years and it’s always happened. I read it might be caused by low blood pressure (which I am on the lower side). Wondering if you’ve heard about this - is it common? Anything I can do besides take extra time before I get up?

2052: Ayurveda & Dairy, Pain in Abdomen, Colonoscopy Gut Protocol, Food Thickeners, Filshie Clips (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Paloma: Why does Ayurveda advocate advocate dairy? I know it was raw & organic but isn’t the protein the protein an issue? Victoria: Hi Cabral ! I had a lot of pain on my lower right abdomen. Basically right under my rib cage / the bottom of my rib cage. I went and got a CT scan (to make sure it wasn't appendicitis) and they said it was pelvic congestion syndrome. To give some further background, they found a 3cm ovarian cyst as well, which, I've been reading, might be a contributing factor. I also got a ultrasound to confirm it wasn't gallstones. I currently am dealing with treating chronic lyme and mold toxicity in my body. I have high levels of aspergillus. Any recommendations for the pelvic congestion syndrome, knowing all that I have said? I have been taking your foundational supplement protocol level 3, adrenal soothe & the cowden protocol for lyme. Appreciate your response. Thank you! Natalie: Could you please recommend a protocol for gut health following a colonoscopy? Thank you- Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, no question this time; I just wanted to take the opportunity to let you know how grateful I am for the work you do and the opportunity to have my questions (of which I have many!) answered in person on my favorite podcast! Your knowledge and protocols have been instrumental in optimizing my health. Until next time - Ayubowan! Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral! :) Hope you’re well and your family and loved ones also.. My question today is about starches used for thicken food, for example corn, potato, tapioca starch.. which one would you recommend to use and why? Should we stay away from any of them?  I try not to use anything with corn, just in case.. but are potato and tapioca better or not? Thanks so much for being so amazing! Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral. I was wondering if you had any advice on Filshie Clamps. I had my tubal ligation done with them in 2017. I have had a few symptoms that I have been able to narrow down to my time for ovulation and menstruation, that I had not had prior to 2017. During ovulation my lower back around my lower back, hips, and knees ache pretty badly. Very painful periods. I have had an influx of course hair on my neck, chin, upper lip. I’ll spare the listeners the small details. That is the jist of it though. Do you think it’s related to the filshie clamps? Also—ovulation and menstruation seem to cause anxiety in me. What do you recommend for that? Thank you so much for your time.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Maria: Hope your day is well! I absolutely love your podcast haven’t missed a single episode for over a year! One of my favourite shows is your Friday review, and was lately wondering as to where you find these interesting new research papers. Being a doctor, Is it something you are able to get access to, or is the everyday person also able to subscribe and look at the papers as well? I would be sure there many papers not just on health/wellness, so how do you navigate this field of research? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks heaps Ingrid: Hi, I have been suffering from IC for 3.5 years. I have altered my diet, take desert harvest and many other supplements. Could serrapeptase help me? Thank you Patty: I am your biggest cheerleading. Please never stop what you are doing!. My optomologist said I have dry eyes. They tear up often after working on computer, reading etc. He recommended using eye drops to prevent dry eyes. I bought them at my organic store & it felt worse after I used them. My eyes actually felt swollen. Any recommendations? Are drops the answer? Never wore glasses until I got older. I am 58. I had a detached retina @ 2 yrs ago. They said it was due to age & my other eye looks like it could have the same issue in the future. Thank you as always. Anonymous: Hello, I would like to know your opinion about shedding spike proteins that we’ve been hearing a lot about.. is there any research on this? Or is it just a myth? Also, could you do another virus update show.. I don’t know how it is for you guys in USA but here in Europe they’re talking about the 4th wave and closing things down again.. I realise you’re gonna get this much later than I’m writing it, but still.. a virus update show would be helpful after all this time, if you can.. please and thank you and have a great day! Sarren: Good day Dr. Cabral. On your episode 1976, July 4th, there was a question that accidentally slipped past you. You believed you answered 6 but actually answered 5. I'm interested in your response. The question was: "Is Aphantasia something that can be cured or is it something you have to live with? For listeners, it’s basically not being able to picture something in one’s mind or visualise mental pictures. When told to visualise (like in your motivation and mindset Mondays or during meditation) I always assumed they meant figuratively or something. I did not know people actually see clear pictures in their mind or imagine clearly like they do in TV or film. Just wanna know if there’s a root cause or it’s normal some people are just unable to do so. Thank you. Have a great day.” Anna: As an overall healthy 27 year old (I've been experiencing some random symptoms, but no diagnosis or specific concerns from any bloodwork or exams), when is it a concern to bruise easily or have multiple, small bruises on arms and legs without remembering a cause? My PCP has said that as long as they're not huge and purple, it's not a concern. Thank you!

2045: Hypersomnia, Mothball Smell, Smell Gasoline, Overnight Work Schedule, H Pylori, Improve Circulation (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Tahlia: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for providing such a truly life changing resource! I'm hoping you can help point me in the right direction, I looked through previous podcasts and I don't believe you've ever spoken about idiopathic hypersomnia before. I had to laugh when I asked my sleep specialist who'd just diagnosed me with it what it meant and he said 'excessive daytime sleepiness with no known cause'. He was sure the other specialists I had been referred to would find an underlying chronic condition that would explain this and my other chronic fatigue symptoms but nobody did. Over the years I've managed to improve my symptoms and come off all medications (including modafinil which was specifically prescribed for the hypersomnia, to keep me alert during the day) and I've come a long way but I haven't seen any further improvement for quite some time. I'll never stop learning and growing but my symptoms currently have far too big an impact on how I spend my time and I was wondering if you might have come across this disorder before or have any information to share about it? A huge thank you in advance for taking time out of your life to answer this and all the other questions you get asked! Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral! Thank you for answering our questions in your HouseCalls every weekend and for providing the IHP health coaching courses! You have positively changed my life. What causes a person to smell like mothballs? I encountered a man at the grocery store who overwhelmingly smelled like mothballs. I could smell him from 15 feet away. I also noticed one of my older relatives smelled like mothballs when they talked to me at the end of the evening after they had been quietly watching tv and not talking or opening their mouth for an hour.nnI think both people had mothball breath. Is there also mothball body odor and does it have a different cause? Thank you! Anonymous Eve: Hello  I had COVID in February 2021, I had it very very bad after 4 days I lost my sense of smell and taste. Very strange experience. I counted and on my 29th day I started to smell little and taste little but would still be off every other day. Now we are in July 2021 and since July 12th Everything I mean everything I smell is either gasoline, nail polish remover or bleach like. When I step outside to take a breath of fresh air in its like nail polish remover, fresh grass being cut outside is a potent polish remover smell. I can not eat garlic, onions or ginger without vomiting because it tastes like bleach. Cucumbers, spinach, green beans, I can write a list of almost all the veggies and fruits that taste and smell like bleach for me. Toothpaste I have switched to 4 different kinds and it's the worst of it all, makes me nauseous of it all. Even water, I can smell my water now when I shower or wash dishes. I feel like I'm washing my dishes with gasoline like toxic smell water. What do you recommend or believe would help? It's hard to find with to eat and keep my health and nutrition up. I'm 32, female healthy. Thank you Angela: Dear Dr. Cabral, You mention the importance of eating/sleeping with the sun to help with digestion and sleep. However, what do people in Alaska do when the have endless daylight or minimal daylight periods? What about people who work graveyard shifts? Another example of altered schedule is in Europe they tend to eat dinner and sleep much later than Americans. I know many European countries take an afternoon siesta, could that be their secret? They seem much healthier than Americans in general. Mahalo, Angela Evan: How long does H pylori normally take to get rid of when treating naturally? Is it ok to have some gluten and alcohol during treatment? Also do you typically look for h pylori numbers to be low or be zero? Gabriel: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was enjoying your podcast with Organic Olivia when a comment about circulation sparked this question. I am a 25 year old woman who eats clean and exercises a few times a week (though it could be more consistent). In the past few years I've noticed issues with my circulation. For example, lifting an arm away from my body for more than 10 seconds is uncomfortable and if I sit in a certain position for a while my leg will start to tingle. Whenever I get my blood pressure tested the dr comments that it is low but 'healthy' (100/62, 99/61, 90/50 etc.). I have brain fog daily and was diagnosed with ADD a few years back but have had attention issues since I was a child. I do not take ADD medication as the side effects aren't worth it for me.

2039: mRNA Affecting DNA, Viral Transmission, Confluent and Reticulated Papillomatosis, Sauna Timing, Hot Hands & Feet, Ketamine (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral! I listened to your podcast regarding new evidence showing that RNA segments can be written back into DNA and influence its sequencing. I’ve heard some suggest concerns over the Covid 19 v delivery method, via mRNA, affecting one’s DNA. Thoughts? Thanks in advance! Learning so much from your podcasts! Tim: Dr. Cabral, We appreciate your show and teachings. Regarding the current unmentionable virus, we have read that viruses can stay alive on different surfaces for varying amounts of time. My wife is a germaphobe/over-thinker, and to be cautious, we have either been wiping down everything that we bring into our house or letting it sit for a few days before using it. However, we have read that getting sick from surface contact is not as likely to happen as from airborne exposure. Would you recommend wiping/quarantining items, or is the risk simply too low to not make the effort worthwhile? I am hoping to stop and have her feel comfortable. Thank you! Michaela: Hi, I love your podcast! Thank you for answering people's questions, its awesome. 2 years ago while pregnant with my second child I started getting greyish brownish spots on my torso, neck, and a few on my arms. The dermatologist diagnosed it as CARP, confluent and reticulated papillomatosis. There really isn't much information about this online. I won't take antibiotics for this, I am curious if you have any idea where this is stemming from (liver, kidneys?) and how to treat it from a functional medicine perspective. Could it be from magnesium overdose? I never took more than 400mg a day. I am a healthy 30 year old female, used to have insulin resistance but now eat a mostly paleo / low carb type of diet. (I am now pregnant with our third, and don't mind waiting until done nursing this next one to heal this if it wouldn't be safe now! I'm assuming it wouldn't be.) Ryan: First, I would like to say thank you for all that you do for the community, I know you have helped thousands of people including myself become happier healthier beings. As far as questions, I have a couple of random rapid fire questions, when I do 24 hour fasts weekly or the beginning of the quarterly detox I notice my eyes get very dry until I eat, is this normal or am I missing something? I have been doing weekly 24 hour fasts and quarterly detoxes for a couple of years and it happens every time. During my 24 hour fasts I only consume water, usually with lemon or lime and salt and tea. Next, for using an IR sauna I know you suggest 40 minutes, would you or could you lower this time and maintain benefits if it was directly after a workout, either cardio or weight lifting since your internal temperature is already elevated? When I get into the sauna cold it takes 15 minutes to start sweating, if I go immediately following a workout I’m sweating the moment I step in, I’m just trying to optimize my time. Thanks again and have a wonderful rest of your weekend! Julie: Hey Dr C. I'm an IHP and am a little stumped with an issue one of my clients is having. She is 25 and just started month 2 of the CBO protocol after having completed the food sensitivity test, minerals & metals & OAT test. (She also did the 21-day detox). She’s feeling amazing with an incredible boost in energy levels, clearer skin & far less anxiety. She hasn’t felt this good in many years! We have a long way to go but it’s very positive. One of the things that hasn’t improved yet are the frequent bouts of really hot hands & feet which she has suffered with since she was a little girl. I’ve looked for this in your podcasts but can’t seem to find any info. Have you seen this before? So grateful for any ideas or help. Mary: I've been hearing about Ketamine infusions for treatment resistant depression and PTSD. Do you have any thoughts on this or do you recommend this type of treatment? It was legalized in the US in 2019, I believe. Thanks for all your help today and always!

2038: Fasting for Vatas, 1 Day Reset, Low Blood Pressure & Salt, C section, Blood Clots & Pregnancy, Immunoglobulins & Mood (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Simon: Hi Dr Cabral,I’ve listened to all your podcasts on fasting and detoxing and now do a daily 12-14hr fast and an (almost weekly) 1 day reset fast. I am curious though: as a Vata-Pita who is a bit too stressed and getting a bit less rest than I’d like to (though otherwise healthy), is a day’s fasting putting my body under more stress than I should be? Also, rather than getting the ‘mental clarity’ many speak of with fasting I tend to get brain fog and lethargy; aside from being inconvenient is this a concern and is there anything i can do to counter it without impacting the detox and autophagy benefits? Thirdly, I’d love to hear your thoughts on going lunch-to-lunch instead of dinner-to-dinner? I find skipping dinner easier and figure it means I’m not breaking my fast with a big meal close to bed and also benefit from a nights sleep on a very empty stomach. Thanks so much! Simon: Hi again, I have a couple more questions about the 1 day reset: would taking a typical ‘liver detox’ supplement (milk thistle, dandelion, schisandra, etc) during the 1-day reset assist with liver detoxification? Also, is it ok to swap out some shakes with bone broth? Or even lemon/salt water if I’m not hungry? So many other questions but I’ll leave it at that! Thank you for giving so much time and energy to the community! Lindsay: Hello. In today’s podcast (7/11) you mentioned if you have low blood pressure you are unlikely able to drink as much water as you need without salt. Can you elaborate on that? I have low blood pressure and have a hard time drinking water. Wondering if there is a correlation. Meghan: Hi Dr C, I have been going back through previous shows and there seems to be a fair few that mention C Sections and after care with scar tissue and what not but I couldn’t seem to find any that look at how to prep the body before having a C Section to help support both the Mum and baby? Also did you have any tips/thoughts about exposing the baby with the mothers bacteria to try and help support the babies microbiome that it will be missing not coming through the vaginal bacteria and anything else that a Mum can do in preparation of a C section birth? Thanks so much. Meghan: Hey Dr C, following on from my previous question about prepping for a C section. Is there anything in particular that I can do to reduce my chances of developing any post surgery blood clots? Thanks Nick: Hi Dr. Cabral! Love the podcast. I'm writing to you seeking help for my wife. She has a long history of mental illness(schizophrenia, psychosis, catatonia). She spent 3 weeks at the phsyciatric hospital last winter. Spent 6 months in phychosis without any help from medications. She started working with a functional medicine doctor last summer that ran a stool test and she suspected a parasite. She prescribed alinia and put her on sbi protect immunoglobins and within a couple days started coming out of psychosis. Over the last few months she started having another setback after trying to stop the sbi protect immunoglobins. Started getting brain on fire feeling and alot of head fullness and and pressure. We ran the big 5 and confirmed she has some elevated candida, aluminum, and tpo antibodies close to 500. She is currently on the parasite protocol. and then the limited yeast and heavy metal detox. She is about to undergo a lumbar puncture to test for nmdr receptor encephalitis. It's been a slow long process and would really appreciate any more wisdom you could give us on this issue.

2032: Vaginal Discharge, Hydrogen Water, Greek Yogurt, Diet Tonic Water, Sores on Lip & Penis, Teenage Health Issues (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Anonymous: Hi doctor Cabral, I have a bit of an embarrassing question and I feel very uncomfortable discussing this with the people I know, so really hoping you can help me. How can you tell the difference between brown vaginal discharge (old blood) and a runny stool on your hygienic pad? I have some bowel issues, so sometimes when I pass gas, a little bit stool comes out and ends up on my pad. And when I wear tight pants and sit all day, the pad can move, so the stool ends up a bit higher – where your vaginal discharge usually is. I want to be mindful of brown discharge too, because I have some hormonal problems. Anyway, I really feel super embarrassed about asking this question, so I hope you don’t mind answering. Thanks so much in advance for your answer, I really appreciate it. Mark: Hi doctor Cabral, What are your thoughts on hydrogen-rich water? Are the health claims around it true? And do you think a hydrogen water maker would be a good investment for one’s health? Thank you in advance for your advice! Mark Michelle: Hi! I know you recommend being dairy free. I am for the most part. I really like Greek yogurt and seem to tolerate it well. What are your opinions on yogurt? Tim: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast and love your products. Thank you for all of your time and effort, I appreciate it. My question is does diet tonic water have any negative effects on the body? I like to drink one in my shaker cup in the morning mixed with lemon. I just like the taste and a change from regular water. Is this ok or is it not good for me? Simon: Hi Dr C! For about two years I’ve been getting red swollen sores on my lip and penis (always in the same place) that a bacterial test has shown to be overgrowth of staphylococcus. They typically flare up at the same time and usually when I get a cold or am run-down. Can you recommend anything to rid myself of this overgrowth permanently (or reduce the frequency and magnitude of outbreaks? I tried using antibacterial wash consistently for a fortnight but that doesn’t seem to have done the job. I’d love your thoughts. Anonymous: Hi dr cabral, many many thanks for all you do! I have a question about my 18 yr old daughter. She has a little history, at around 14 she started restricting her diet for her sport. Thats the short version. During that tine she started her period. Very heavy periods. It lead to anemia, an iron transfusion & followed by a blood transfusion. She now is sadly on a bc pill. she still has irregular periods, cramps.. i took her for her yearly chec up at her regular doctor and her non fasting cholesterol came back high. She is a very active girl. Competitive cheerleader, tumbling, loves running & working out and honestly eats pretty healthy. She also suffers from anxiety.. Are there supplements that can help.

2031: Nail Fungus, Full Day Fasts, Reduce Testosterone in Women, White Spot on Skin, Strong Gas, Neck Cracking (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Kate: Can you talk about nail fungus? I have it on all nails in one hand only for two years and nothing has worked. Ive tried anti fungals, and various oils and home remedies. Lorena: Hello! I am a 25 year old healthy woman, I healed myself from a wide range of health issues by following your protocols so thank you very much for that! I continue my journey with the daily foundational protocol L3 & eat a predominantly plant-based diet with some good quality animal protein twice a week. I eat 3 meals a day and exercise 5x a week. I usually do 12-14h fast on a daily basis (sometimes 17h accidentally on weekends when I sleep in) but I was thinking of implementing the 24h fast that I know you do on Mondays myself haha! I don't want to lose more weight but I would do it for health reasons. Do you think it is a bad idea given that I'm a woman and it might be taking it too far? Or do you think that 24h once a week is fine? I wouldn't exercise on that day and would work from home relaxed. I'm a Vata body type so don't want to take it too far with my nervous system but I really want to get those autophagy benefits. Darren: Hey, Dr Cabral. I appreciate all you do for the community. You may likely receive this either during or after the Olympic games but I've a question with regard to the controversy surrounding two young athletes. Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi both 18 years old from Namibia are among the fastest in the world over 400m in world even at that age. However even though both of them were born female and grew up as such, the international governing bodies are saying be they must take drugs to reduce their naturally-occurring testosterone if they want to compete in women's 400m mean because their naturally occurring testosterone is considered too high. They must medically limit that level to less than 5 nmol/L, double the normal female range of below 2 nmol/L. The question here is whether taking medication to reduce natural testosterone is healthy and is there an ayurvedic or natural health means to do so for other women or female athletes who may find themselves sin that situation. Thank you. Kathy: I am a 65 year old female with a white circle in middle of back about 4 inches in width and white spots under arm encompassing armpit. Looks like pigment issues but also where I have rubbed for years when I run 25 miles a week. Could It be from rubbing or something else going on. Anonymous: Hi dr cabral.. thank you for all you do! No one wants to ask this question for sure but maybe i will help someone else too. In short i seem to have for the last couple years my stomach seems to have a hard time digesting? Strong gas. No pretty way to say it. Sometimes it CAN be after your regular culprits like brocoli or kale etc .. but it seems un normal. Would a probiotic help or make it worse or can it help? I tried the healthy gut support hoping it would help and Even the dns seems to contribute to it.. Something tells me i skipped a step there but im honestly feeling a little stressed/anxious about committing and getting through the cbo protocol.. i just want to feel like my best self please help! all the best :) Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’ve had neck pain off an on for years. What makes your neck pop and crack some days but not others? I don’t typically notice it on days when I don’t hurt. Do you have an recommendations for a way to support my neck while I sleep since most of my neck pain starts over night and I notice it when I wake.

2025: BioFilm in Bowel Movements, Sinus Headaches, Lumen Device, Skip the Cardio?, Visible Pulse, CBO Lookalikes (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Kenneth: Really enjoyed your podcast with mindpump. I've had some really bad stomach issues that have lessened since going to a more high fat, high protein diet and smaller, but more meals. I've had more success lately, but your approach has struck a chord with me. My question is in regards to the 'bio-film' that comes out with bowel movements as a gel like substance. Do I need to get rid of it? Is it a bad thing? Thanks! Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral! I wake up almost every morning with a sinus headache. I’ve had difficulty breathing through my nose for years. I purchased a high quality air filter (one you recommended), and no longer let our dogs sleep in the bedroom with us. I take an allergy pill every day but don’t feel like they have much affect on me anymore and I do a saline rinse nearly every morning and night to help clear some congestion but it only works temporarily. Any suggestions? Thanks! Paula: Hi Doc! Have you heard of Lumen? Not sure if it just marketing or if its actually worth it. It measures your metabolism by measuring the CO2 concentration using a breath maneuver, which is performed by inhaling a fixed volume of air through the Lumen device (dynamic to each individual), holding it for 10 seconds, and exhaling fully. So they basically recommend exhaling every morning which then helps you identify things like what the best workout for that day is, how many carbs to eat to avoid fat storage, etc. Jennifer: Hi!! Thank you so much for showing up every weekend to share your incredible knowledge with us. I am a 23 year old woman, I've done several of your protocols and just maintain it now with some DNS, omega 3, probiotic, vitamin D, C, digestive enzymes & magnesium every day. I eat a predominantly paleo plant-based diet with the occasional fish here and there. I do 45 minute sessions of lower body strength training Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Tuesdays is upper body TRX with some body weight circuits like high knees, skipping, etc and Saturday is Upper body strength training with sprints. I therefore feel like I'm always performing anaerobic exercises and not sure if I should implement some sort of aerobic exercise? I am super fit and I do more than 10k steps every day and I feel great but not sure if I should do aerobic for health-based reasons. I just don't really have the time to add another workout day and I also enjoy the 2 days of rest per week. Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral! For years I have noticed a lot of tension in the right side of my neck. When I lay down at night, I notice that it seems like I have a second pulse that is not my carotid artery but it beats loud and if look at my neck in the mirror I can see it pulsing. I don't notice this however when I stand and look in the mirror. Is this something to be concerned with, or fairly normal? Thanks! Marika: Hi! I have a very hard treatable candida biofilm (probably multi species - I also have streps and sibo) visible in my mouth and probably throughout my whole body since I feel both rashes and chest pain when consuming the slightest of even complex carbs like wild rise and sweet potato. I’ve spent 20000 dollars on diets and protocols - tried similar to CBO program including biofilm breakers with practitioners. It doesn’t resolve - if I eat too little carbs my body and Candida gets in defense mode and if I put in just a little all symptoms are back - what level of carbs shall I eat and what else to do? Also have insulin resistance and helicobacter etc. Plus toxicity - trying to get all out on continuous protocols.

2024: Best Form of Chromium, Caffeine on Empty Stomach, Balance Out Smoking, Bad Gas, Diastases Recti Fix, Antibiotic Balancing (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Ryan: I have 2 questions about supplementing chromium for blood glucose regulation. First, are the effects of supplementing chromium acute? Or if I were to stop, would there still be a lingering effect due to increased stores in my body? If acute, how long would that last? One meal? Two? One day? Secondly, would you use a picolinate version, or a GTF version? Or something else? Carolyn: Hello Dr. Cabral. I just wanted to tell you I love your podcast and I just finished reading your book. I am 35 and have PCOS and believe I am a kapha body type. I typically try to fast for 14 hours overnight to help with my insulin resistance. However, I work twice a week and leave my house very early on those days. On my way to work I like to drink my coffee (I do add collagen powder to it). I know this breaks my fast, but I have been reading that consuming caffeine on an empty stomach should be avoided. Can this be impacting my weight loss or causing any other negative impact? Alex: Hello doctor Cabral, I'm really hoping you can help me with the following. My 74 old father won't stop smoking. He's been doing it since he was 18 and trust me, we tried everything you can imagine tp get to stop but of no avail. The only win we had is that got him down to 3 cigarettes a day, but that's all that he is willing to give us. He has high blood pressure and high cholesterol, but other than that no major health issues. I would really like to know if there's anything he can do to reduce the damage that those cigarettes are creating. I love my dad and I want to keep him healthy and alive as long as possible. Are there any supplements, foods, natural therapies or anything else that we can get him to do in order to lessen the damage a little bit. Thank you so much in advance. Your opinion and knowledge mean the world to me. Best, Alex Cynthia: Hi doctor Cabral, How would you treat someone who has GI issues (smelly gas & bloating) caused by dysbiosis? I did a stool test which showed no candida or bacterial overgrowth, but lowered amounts of beneficial, residential flora. Thanks, Cynthia Tracy: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for your podcasts. They are both inspiring and educational. My question is about diastasis recti. I believe this is why I have a bulge on my stomach that doesn’t go away with diet. I am a mother of 2 (the youngest is 3). How would you recommend to heal this issue. Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral! If someone absolutely has to take antibiotics, what do you recommend they do (afterwards or in parallel) so their gut health is not ruined?Thanks so much!

2018: Mucus in Stool, Throat Tonsil Stones, Ayahuasca, Feeling Old, Decrease in Hemoglobin, Heavy Metal Detox Foods, Auto-Immune Fixes (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Anonymous: Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions! I love tuning in to your podcast every day to learn from you. During the summer community detox in June, my stool had a LONG (5-6" I would estimate) whitish-yellow mucousy strand in it. This was upon waking on day 3. I would love to know what you think caused this or what it could be. Anyhow, I'm happy it's OUT! Thank you in advance! Jamie:Hi Dr. Cabral, you have been a gift for me! I have learned so much from you and have applied many changes to my life and am so grateful. Thank you. My question is about “throat stones”. No one likes to talk about them, and I’m hoping you can shed some light on what they are, and how to prevent them. Thank you!! Mary: I’ve recently been hearing and learning about Ayahuasca plant medicine as a miracle type cure for things such as addiction, trauma, depression and anxiety. I would love to hear your thoughts on this and these types of retreats in places like Costa Rica. David: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've been living in bad times for 5 years now. Non of the doctors here in Hungary were able to figure out what's wrong so they sent me to a psychiatrist who gave me a bunch of antidepressants. My symptomps are: extreme fatigue, brain fog, low mood, difficult concentrating, poor memory. They say it is severe depression... well, it is not. I always knew these symptoms are caused by something so I started to read books. My mother in law works in a LAB so I had her checked my anti TPO and anti TG and I figured out I have Hashimoto's. With your diet I lowered my TSH from 3.9 to 1.5 which is awsome, but I still feel weak and fatigued. Lots of symptomps passed though. Difficult to fall asleep, I am tired when I wake up, deep sleep is usually 9 minutes O.o I avoid gluten, dairy, corn, suger, coffee. I eat tons of veggies and fruits, smoothies, I reduced my fat intake and take B6 so my blood pressure lowered from 170/110 to 120/80. I think I am healing but I am fed up living in a 90year old sick man's body (I am 30) Anyways, you are awsome and you have ANSWERS for everything. Others always said, it was all in my head :( No it is not... Something is causing it. You are a blessing to the world, thank you for everything, I hope one day I find what's causing it! Thomas: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m in the process of completing my level two IHP certification, and I absolutely love the program! I recently completed a 7 day functional medicine detox. I routinely donate blood on a quarterly basis, and I have done this for approximately three years. I have never had an issue with hemoglobin levels, and 13.0 is required for men to give blood. However, one week following completion of my most recent detox, I went to donate blood, and my hemoglobin was 11.6. Therefore, I was unable to donate blood that day. My question is this - can completing a 7 day detox cause a significant decrease in hemoglobin levels? Additionally, besides red meat and eggs, what foods would you recommend as healthy sources of dietary iron? Thank you for all you do! Tom Dora: Heavy metal detox smoothy (safe or not) Hi Dr. Cabral, I have hashimoto’s and all the endocronologists says it cant be cured and once my thyroid is destroyed i can get hormone pills... I Heard about celery juice and Heavy metal detox smoothie (wild blue berries, barely grass juice powder, banana, orange, cilantro, dulse /sea weed/, spirulina) The question is. Can it be harmful? They say it leads out Heavy metals out of your Body. But what if it grabs Heavy metals and drops it somewhere else? In my brain, liver, thyroid etc. Is it a safe way to get rid of Heavy metals? I think it could help with curing Hashimoto Thank you for everything you do!!! With your help and Podcasts many of my family members cured their diseases completly. It is my turn now. Doctors say Hashimoto is not curable, i dont believe them.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/2018 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2017: Viral Protocols, CBD Tolerance & Dosing, Balancing Doshas, Redox Product, Ammonium Alum, Energy Drink at Breakfast (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Michael: Hi dr Cabral do you recommend any lab test or supplement protocol for someone dealing with post Covid syndrome? I have mold, candida and h pylori as well. Thomas: Hey Dr. Cabral, I have been taking CBD (yours when available) for about four years now, mostly every morning. I noticed all of the beneficial effects early on. Now, I don't notice a difference when I forget to take it, meaning I stay calm and balanced in a parasympathetic state. Is there a point at which one can reduce dosage during non-stressful times, or is this one of those supplements that has a long-term effect and should be taken everyday? Thanks, you are the goat. Danica: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’m wondering what your advice is for vata- kapha dosha. I myself am about 2/3 vata, 1/3 kapha, and I find a lot of the advice to be contradictory between these two. Often, if you just went smack dab in between the two, it would look like advice for pitta, which I have almost none of. I understand that you treat the imbalance from which dosha the symptom is arising, but I mean more for general daily advice such as food, exercise, sleep, etc. Thank you so much!! Tracy:  Hi Dr Cabral. Have you heard of a product called ASEA. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I’ve seen a question in the support group on Facebook about the crystal deodorants where only one ingredient is Ammonium Alum.. is that a safe ingredient or should we stay away from it? Thanks so much and have a great day, everyone! Molly: Hi I was wondering if "Hi-Ball" Energy (zero cal) seltzers AND/OR "regular" seltzer water breaks a fast? Thanks I have really enjoyed your podcast so far, I just started listening last week!

2011: Best Way to Lose Belly Fat, Plantar Fibromitosis, Alcohol-Free Drink, Probiotics for Antibiotics, Mercury in Fish, Cancer Screening Tests (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Chantal: Dear doctor Cabral, What is the best way to lose belly fat? I’m an active 38-year-old female, no kids, healthy weight, working out regularly, meditate, do not smoke or drink, eat whole food plant-based diet..I'm pretty much perfect, haha ;) I have muscle definition all over my body, but there’s a layer of fat over my stomach that I just can’t get rid of it. I do have some digestive issues, so when I'm bloated my belly looks huge and it makes me very self conscious. Any advice you have would be much appreciated. Thanks so much! Chantal Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I’ve tried to find it on previous episodes but with no luck, so I’m writing in on behalf of my friend.. he’s got plantar fibromitosis and he’s sometimes in a lot of pain and has been advised surgery, but doesn’t want it.. could you explain this condition a bit more, why does it occur and what would you recommend? Thank you so much for everything you do, you are absolutely amazing! Have a great day, everyone! Jamie: Hi Dr Cabral, another quick question after thanking you again for all you & your awesome team do. I have been part of the community now for over 3 years & it has changed my life & will subsequently change my children’s lives (maybe even my teams lives once they are sick of hearing my changed diet etc!) Massive heartfelt thank you. This year I decided that to get serious & finish my internal health journey (regular strength exercise next!) so to do another CBO heavy metal & mould protocols I didn’t need the distraction of alcohol so decided to make 2021 alcohol free (almost 6 months in so covid has made this easy :-) ) as a result I needed the occasional go to drink for a celebration and stumbled across Freestar.co . It seems awesome & tastes incredible (if you like beer) but I wondered what are potential downsides of it and ingredients & therefore what’s a reasonable intake. I mean I think I might make this a permanent social drink preference in the future… ingredients below - thank you!!! ingredients are all natural & highest quality include: Purified Water, Malted Barley (Gluten Free), Perle Hops & blend of other natural ingredients. 10 parts per million of gluten in the finished product & to be officially gluten free you need under 20ppm. 0% alcohol in process and product. MacKenzie: Hi I am getting surgery and am worried about taking antibiotics. If you have to take them what are the best things to take/ do to reduce the damage it does to your gut. Simon: Hello, I am wondering if you eat raw fish, specifically raw tuna or salmon. If you do eat raw fish, how often do you eat it, how many ounces, and specifically what type of tuna or salmon do you recommend for the best health benefits and the least amount of mercury/other toxins? Thanks Jamie: i Dr Cabral, much shorter thank you this time but again thank you for absolutely everything you and your amazing team do. If we wanted to check periodically that there were no tumours benign or not or anything like that growing anywhere in our bodies should we be doing a periodic five year CT scans or what other tests along with the standard functional medicine tests for our general health should we be doing that would likely pick something up? I’m not worried but I have too many friends or colleagues who suddenly found a tumour and it was a bit late. MacKenzie: Can you cure H Pylori without a total diet change? I have a lot of events going on and cannot do a cleanse but I would like to try to kill the H pylori with the suggestions you made on foods to include and supplements.

2010: Low T, Healthy Conception, Secretory IgA, Multi-Vitamin Differences, Die-Off Issues (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Ruth: Hi Dr Cabral, my daughter introduced me to your podcasts and I am so glad she did. I listened to podcast 1173 on “why you need to boost your low T naturally”. I have been getting the pelleted HRT for a few years now and the day I listened to this podcast I had just gotten pelleted again. I think it will be my last one after listening to your podcast. Because I have had a total hysterectomy two years ago, I thought the pelleting would give my body what it no longer can do by itself.  I also had very low libido and drive at the time I started them.  I am an obese, 67-year-old female and have gained about 20 pounds since the hysterectomy.  Would you recommend I stay off the HRT pelleting and try the supplements you mentioned in your podcast? Vitamin D Magnesium full spectrum Zinc picolinate I already have high cholesterol and you mentioned that HRT could lead to even raise it more!? I am currently on phase III of the cell core detox program.  I do have chronic stress because I am in pain from a scope of my right knee a few years ago where the surgeon cut away some cartilage and said I need a total knee replacement because of arthritis.  I am hoping to correct my nutrition and give my knee the right environment to heal itself. Is this possible? The following is in my HRT pellet: t-pellet 100 mg x 2 estradiol 12.5 mg I also take NP thyroid 90 mg 1am and ½ noon FreeTe  1 capsule daily after 1 ½ months after pellet insertion  (I understand this is to draw out the extra testosterone and make it last longer) Iodine 12.5 mg 1 daily DIM one daily ADK 1 daily Thank you for any insight you can give me! Luke: Hi Dr. Cabral. Sorry for the controversial question but I need some guidance. My wife and I have just found out that she is pregnant after a very long journey in trying to conceive. During this time we have done lots of research and decided not to vaccinate or have any unnecessary medical intervention during the pregnancy and beyond. My wife and I would like to know what else we should consider doing to make sure that our baby has the best start to life. We both take the level 3 daily protocol, have done all major protocols from equilibrium nutrition in preparation to having our baby, we follow your recommended diet, we exercise and have removed all toxins from the home among other things. I believe that this is enough for us to give our baby the best start to life but is there anything else that we should consider? We know that we are up for some push back from friends and family for our decisions but we just want to make sure that we are doing what is best for our baby. Thanks in advance for your guidance with this. Sally: Hi doctor Cabral, I was wondering if you could explain what Secretory IgA is. After suffering with digestive issues (bloating, gas, etc) for a few years, I did a stool test, and my Secretory IgA came back very low. My doctor tried to explain what it is and what I can do, but I did not really understand it. I've been listening to your podcast for years, therefore I know that you have the amazing ability to explain difficult medical terms and make them more digestible (pun intended!), so I would be very grateful if you could tell me more about it. In particular, what lowers Secretory IgA and what I can do to fix it? Thank you very much! Sally David: There are multivitamins that have an AM and PM formula, or are taken separately. One reason is to control certain vitamin and mineral ratios. This is based on science that says that there are different nutrients that compete against or inhibit the absorption of other nutrients. Examples I found online were: Iron can have a negative effect on zinc absorption; Folate can mask the symptoms of B12 deficiency; Vitamin A interferes with absorption of vitamin K; and aim to take calcium and magnesium supplements at least 2 hours apart. Is this something that should be considered when evaluating a multivitamin? Does the dosage and formulation of DNS control for nutrients that compete or inhibit absorption of other nutrients? Thanks so much. Michael: Why would someone get sicker and develop new symptoms by killing pathogens? I have mold toxicity (Chaetomium), some candida and high h. pylori.

2004: Everyday Toxins, Yellow Palms, Bacteria in Saliva, Fluid Intake, Silent Reflux, Cow’s Milk Dilemma (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    MacKenzie: I don’t have a lot of money but am trying to eliminate toxins from my life. Other than food and skincare/ makeup what are the most important things? It gets hard to afford EMF blockers, organic sheets, mattress, etc. it starts to add up. Andrea: Hi Dr Cabral. I wanted to ask about yellow palms. I have had very yellow tinged hands for many years and have researched many different potential causes such as Carotenaemia or Jaundice. I do consume a lot of orange vegetables in my diet but am unsure if this is really the answer. I just wanted to get your perspective on what could cause the yellowness and if there is something more serious going on to look out for? Thank you very much Kenzie: Do I need to worry about reinfecting myself with h pylori by kissing my boyfriend during treatment ? Rita: Hi, During the Detox, can I increase fluid intake, as per my weight? or just stick to the 20oz as you suggest? Can a diabetic do this? Thanks Meghan: Hey Dr C! Thanks for everything you do! I am  Currently pregnant with my second baby and My first suffered from quite a bit of silent reflux and was quite fussy and a terrible sleeper. I am Wondering what I can do during my pregnancy to reduce the chances of this next baby having reflux? I believe you have previously mentioned a strain of probiotic which I think was reuteri To help with reflux? If so I see this is in the daily probiotic support by Equi Life would this be enough to help if taken through out pregnancy and breast feeding? Can you share some tips on what I can proactively do to help give me the best shot at having a healthy and reflux free baby please? Thanks so much In advance Pedro: Hi Dr Cabral! First and foremost, thank you very much for dedicating so much of your time to help people all around the world. I know you probably get a lot of these messages so you might be used to it but truly take a moment to acknowledge yourself! You’ve changed lives! Anyways, my question is regarding dairy. I know that you prefer organic raw milk but you’re still not a huge fan of it given the size of the protein. How come in Ayurveda they had so much dairy? I know that in their times it would have been raw but isn’t it still inflammatory?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/2004 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

2003: Vanishing Tumor, POTS Healing, Gag Reflex, Long-Standing Lyme Protocol, Gallbladder Cleanse Mystery, Fulvic & Humic Acid Benefits (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Andres: Hi I have a benign brain tumor located neear the small brain and vision nerve. Doctors country remove it. Is it possible to not make it grow? Or completely vanish it ?Kind regards, Andres Anabel: Hello, I hope you’re well. My name is Anabel, I’m 26 and I’ve been officially diagnosed with POTS for about a year and a half now. I was a very healthy child growing up but when I was 14, I received the HPV vaccine and my body has never been the same. When I was 24, I became increasingly more fatigued, I felt my heart was going to come out of my chest and caffeine and alcohol made me land in the ER with a resting heart rate of 180bpm. I’d like to know how to get rid of POTS once and for all. I’d just like to go hiking and dancing with out feeling like I’m going to pass out and I’d like to stop feeling like a burden and nuisance. I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to help. Jess: I struggle with having a bad gag reflex, which has affected my life in numerous ways such as taking pills, getting x rays at the dentist, and also getting a Strep test has always been absolutely impossible for me. I can't even tongue scrape because I immediately gag when the scraper goes towards the back half of my tongue. I also want to be able to take all the supplements I'd like, but I can only deal with so many pills in one day because of this. I'm just curious if you have any thoughts as to why someone's reflex may be more sensitive than others. Victoria: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you in advance for your time — my question is on mainly Lyme Disease. I’m someone who has confirmed Lyme (western blot I believe), haven’t yet taken antibiotics. I definitely have the symptoms - neurological dizziness, anxiety, etc. I believe I’ve had it for at least 3 years now undiagnosed. My question would be, how would you treat the symptoms of someone with Lyme disease that has had it for years? Would you alter your tick based protocol in any way? Just wondering, as that episode seemed to be more of an immediate response to a recent tick bite. Victoria: Hey Cabral, I’ve been thinking of doing a gallbladder cleanse as I’ve been experiencing pain on my right side that radiates to my back. I’ve read that could be gallstones. I’ve done one of the gallbladder flushes before and had about 120+ stones come out. The problem is I’ve been reading that these may not be gallstones and may just be the olive oil and lemon combination instead. Have you read research on this? And do you believe that they are gallstones? Megan:Hey Dr Cabral, thanks so much for your wealth of information. As a certified health coach for 7 years, you've helped me expand my knowledge and I'm now taking the IHP level 1 course to dive deeper. Love learning it all! Was curious if you could touch of fulvic and humic acid. I searched the podcast to only see 1 show. I've been hearing of them lots lately with regards to their anti-viral activity, nutrient uptake and microbiome boosting ability. Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks again for all you do!

1997: Acrylamides, Fruit Combining, Lose 10 lbs, Slurred Speech, Baby Eczema, Dental Detox & Pregnancy Detox Protocols (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Maria: Forever grateful for your knowledge ! I recently heard that baking potato (starchy foods) causes the formation of a harmful substance‘ acrylamide’, which can be carcinogenic. Apparently it is from the chemical reaction of certain sugars and the amino acid asparagine from high temp cooking. Furthermore, if you eat Baked potato it is recommended to not eat the skin, or just better to steam or boil. I’ve never heard of this before so was wondering of if you have ! Thank you Simon: Hi Dr Cabral! You've mentioned many times that fruit does not digest well with other food groups; but that it can be the best way to get carbs after a workout. Is it ok to combine whole fruit (I don't have the opportunity to blend) with my post workout shake (plain WPI, BCAAs and 14oz water)? I assume as the shake is dissolved the typical food combining rules don't apply? I also wonder if it is ok to consume fruit with that much water? As an asside, would you recommend any particular common fruit over others post workout if my goals are muscle gain and recovery? Thanks so much! Meredith: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for all your help and support! I listen to your podcast religiously. I need help with the quarantine 10. I gained this weight last year during the stress of the pandemic. I cannot get it off no matter what I try- I have done two of your detox's, the CBO protocol, a mold protocol, the finisher, and intestinal cleanse. I have tried exercise and eating habits that always worked for me in the past, and nothing works. I even have worked with a hormone doctor who has me on natural thyroid, progesterone, and testosterone. I may have slight insulin resistance as well. Any advice on where to go next is greatly appreciated, thank you so much! Ally: Hi Dr. Cabral- absolutely love the podcast and I've learned so much from you already. I'm writing in about my mom (63 years old) - starting about 3 years ago, she started slurring her words and it's gotten increasingly worse ever since. She takes medication for her thyroid (hypo) and blood pressure and also has type 2 diabetes. We're unable to trace it to anything specific and her doctor doesn't seem to care or ask questions. Is it possible that it's a side effect of the medication or could it be something more serious (stroke?). I tried researching on my own since I'm not able to go to doctors appointments with her and I wasn't able to find anything helpful. Looking for advice on what sort of underlying root cause imbalance would lead to consistent slurred speech. Thank you! Simon: Hi again Dr Cabral, I have a very different question this time. Our healthy six month old has been suffering recently with very bad eczema. I have struggled to isolate a cause given he is 100% breastfed, natural water birth and no antibiotics, occasional natural soap in bath. I did have some eczema though when I was young. We have been using mineral oil (which I understand isn’t great) for fear that natural food oils may cause future allergies in a baby, and last time he got so bad we used steroid cream. I feel stuck as most natural treatments seem either inappropriate for a baby (with ingredients I worry may be too harsh for his skin); and the ways of isolating the cause (food, gut permeability, stress) don’t seem applicable to a breastfed baby. Can you please provide any thoughts on how we can address the underlying cause of this issue and treat the next flare up if we need to? Would probiotics be advisable in a 6 month old? Thank you so much! Pia: Dear Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for everything you are doing for the health and wellness of the world. I just did a detox, I am on my first month of the CBO protocol and will do an intestinal cleanse as well as the heavy metal detox and the CBO finisher. A big thanks to your team as well for getting me on the right path after breastfeeding for 20 months and being depleted. First question: my partner and I would like to start trying for a second baby as quickly as possible - is this already possible during the CBO finisher? Second question: before falling pregnant again I would like to get some dental work done, which is not necessary from a medicine standpoint but from a visual standpoint and it's very important to me. It would include pulling 4 healthy teeth (to create more space in my mouth) and therefore undergoing surgery. Is there an ideal timeframe during all my protocols to undergo this procedere? And how can I support my teeth and bones to heal and restore after the surgery? All the best from Germany! By the way: yesterday I finally started my IHP certification and cannot wait to change the view of health care together with you and all other IHPs.

1996: Flushed Skin & Ears, White Tongue, Bicuspid Aortic Valve, Wireless Hearing Device, epigastric pain, High Mercury (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Hunter: Hi Doc l!! I've been following you for over two years now (starting with the Cabral detox) and I'm grateful for the knowledge and products you and your team provides. My question: I was diagnosed with vasodilation or vasomotor in 2017. I'm 42 male year old but it really started about 2005. I used to drink a considerable amount of alcohol then, but I've made a huge lifestyle since. Blood pressure is always good, I eat 80% healthy and alcohol is close to none now. My ears are always red and sometimes out of nowhere one ear in one spot will get red and hot and then it spreads to the rest of the ear. If I rub them that could also trigger it. A decade ago is when the redness showed up more on my face, especially if I have a little anxiety. Face and ears are flushed, blood feels like it's boiling, hands, arms and upper body also. I'm always warm. If I work out in the morning I'll get flushed but my ears won't stay hot after, just red and then they cool down, but in the evening when I workout that's when they stay red. In the summer I have to have the air on in my car because the heat is ten times worse for me. My chiropractor says it could be hormonal, or is it in the gut, or nervous system? I trust your knowledge, any help with this is appreciated. Keep up the fantastic work. Analise: Hi Dr. Cabral! I know you’ve spoken numerous times in regards to hormonal acne, but I wanted to write in for help with possibly identifying my underlying cause, or at least pointing me in the right direction. I have suffered from hormonal cystic acne since the age of 12, I only break out on my cheeks, but primarily on MY left cheek. I currently am on spironolactone 100mg and birth control to help control it but still have breakthrough acne. A couple of years ago I got off my medications and started breaking out severely underneath my jawline and then on my cheeks. I waited for a year to see if it would clear up and it didn’t. I plan to get off my medications again at the end of this year and would like to help treat the underlying cause now. Some other symptoms I have that could be related is constant bloating from the time I wake up, I also have a layer of white on my tongue that I have to continuously scrape off and am unsure what that is all about. I do have a gluten, egg, dairy, and almond sensitivity. Otherwise, my labs are all within range with the exception of my T3 uptake being 21.00 (below low normal). My skin was best when I was vegan, but felt I was nutrient deficient and living with brain fog. How can I treat the underlying cause of my acne? Thank you for all you do! Ryan: Hi Dr. Cabral! This may be out of your scope of practice but I was wondering if you have any advice for Bicuspid Aortic Valve. I am 30 and had my heart checked out due to anxiety and they found that two of the valves of my aorta are fused together from birth. This is causing leakage because the valve can’t close all the way as well as stress to my aorta. I’m so grateful I got checked out because I guess only 1% of the population has this and it isn’t something you feel unless it gets really bad. Any advice on how to keep the leakage to a minimum and limit the aorta from getting any larger? Any supplements or foods that would be great or even things to avoid? Thank you for your time! Fred: Hello Dr. Cabral! I just listened to your Friday review about wireless headphones, which scared me because I have a wireless hearing device in both my ears all day. My audiologist says that the technology of wireless hearing devices is the "new trend" and that all hearing aids are now being made this way, so I'm having a hard time finding ones that are not wireless. But I've been worried about the exact thing you talked about - could my wireless hearing device be harmful to my brain? It's frustrating that so many doctors don't care or know the science of EMFs and it's even more scary that this huge industry is subjecting people to something which may take decades before they see the link to diseases. I don't want my hearing aid to be the next cigarette smoking health risk! I'd love to know your suggestion on what I should do regarding hearing devices. Thank you! Kristen: Hello Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all of your knowledge. I am 28yo and have been dealing with gnawing and dull epigastric pain that causes nausea for a few years. This occurs at night, especially after a drink or two of alcohol or carbonated beverages. I used to take ibuprofen quite often for 4 years due to tension headaches but haven't taken it in 5 years. I drink 2-3 cups of coffee daily. I felt like I had every symptom of H pylori but I did your stool test and it was negative, it just showed low bacteria counts. I have been taking a probiotic daily with no help. What do you recommend I do to ease this gnawing feeling? Lew: The results of the hair lab test I took through Equilibrium and ARL showed a high level of mercury- .324. Is that a worrisome level and if so what would you suggest I do about it? I do have numerous metal fillings that contain Mercury but would prefer a more conservative approach than removal of all tooth fillings. Thank you.

So often conventional medicine compartmentalizes our imbalances and can’t see the whole picture-   For instance, when we are feeling chronically anxious, sad, lower mood, depressed, or any number of other feelings, doctors mainly look to pharmaceutical drugs to “add more” to your body/brain…   The problem is that a number of imbalances including stress, gut dysbiosis, and nutrient deficiencies can easily lead to a lack of feel-good neurotransmitters…    That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 1992 I’d like to share with you how natural remedies like intermittent fasting can improve your mood neurotransmitters and get you feeling better in a healthier way - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments below! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1992 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

Each one of us has the ability to summon a part of our mind that would enable us to overcome any obstacle that stands in our way…   The problem is that we’ve been conditioned since childhood to believe that we have limits on our talents, genetics, smarts, charisma, energy, or hundreds of other factors that make up who we are…   That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept I’d like to introduce you to the concept of overcoming your inner Frankenstein while awakening your innate Einstein (John Assaraf Reference) - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1991 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1990: Mold Anti-Microbials, Calcium for Pregnancy, GAPS Diet, Low Cortisol, How Long to Take Supplements, Greasy Hair (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Michael: If someone has mold toxicity (Chaetomium) do they need to use anti fungal herbs or antimicrobial herbs? My exposure was in 2017. I get confused some people say yes and some people say no. Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral I have a question regarding children's formula.  What are your thoughts and recommendations for baby formula if unable to breast feed. What formula do you recommend? I don't consume dairy myself but I don't want to deprive my baby when the time comes, as I know they need calcium? How can they best get calcium through diet also?  Also during pregnancy, if mum doesn't consume diary, what are your suggestions for calcium consumption for mum during pregnancy? Many thanks and appreciate your help as always Joanna Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral What are your thoughts on the GAPS diet. This is not for myself however would love to hear your idea on the topic while also educating myself? Many thanks Joanna Carl: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have had gut related issues for some time... Candida overgrowth etc. My morning Cortisol is on the low end, which leaves me feeling shaky upon waking. It feels as though blood sugar is low, but is fine. When I get up from sitting, I feel almost an adrenaline rush where my muscles feel weak and shaky. My blood pressures rises to the 160/115 range. When I sit back down, the BP eventually goes to the 140/85 range. Irene: How do you know what supplements to keep taking forever or what ones to take for a period and then stop? How long should you take these? I take a bunch of supplements and sometimes feel like I can't keep up with the cost of taking them all forever. For reference I take a b-complex, turmeric w/ peprin (depression/migraine), NAC (for skin OCD picking habit), fish oil (depression), Gaia Adrenal Support (stress/depression), Magnesium glycinate (migraine), CoQ10 (migraine), Quercetin (trying just one bottle for allergy season)… Lorena: Hi Doc! Thank you so much for taking the time to answering our questions :) I have two questions: 1. Any advise for greasy hair? I've tried doing everything. Several 21 day detoxes, CBO protocol, changing shower filter, shampoos, all natural remedies. Everything. Not sure what to do at this point. 2. I found an omega-3 supplement that looks really good quality. It has been tested for heavy metals and purity and it says that it has 600mg DHA and 300 EPA. Why would you still stay that the fish oil you sell is better? If it is because it's higher in EPA and if so, why should we prefer those higher in EPA than DHA?

1989: Mononucleosis, HRV Spike, Inoculations, Heart Murmur, Aortic Ventricular Tachycardia, Vitamin D Absorption (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Julie: Hi Dr Cabral, my daughter (18) was diagnosed with Mono just before basketball playoffs in 2020. To help her with her energy levels during that time she was given a b12 injection before each game. Within a month or so she developed severe acne after never having skin issues of any kind so we feel certain it is injection related. Do you have any suggestions for clearing this type of acne. It is severe and beginning to scar her face. Thank you for your help! Julie Thomas: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently completed the 21 day detox, and I am also in the process of achieving level one and level two IHP certification. I truly enjoy your passion and ability to teach all the material in an effective, engaging, and enjoyable way!  I wear an Oura ring to track sleep and other variables such as HRV. On day two of the 21 day detox, I noticed an obvious and significant increase in my HRV that lasted for the entirety of the 21 day period. Following the completion of the detox, I noticed my HRV settled back into my normal/pre-detox levels. The magnitude of the HRV change was roughly 20ms. My question is - To which component of the detox would you attribute the favorable increase in heart rate variability? I assume it’s one or more of the ingredients in either the FM or AYU detox, but I would really appreciate any insight you can offer. Would it be recommended to use a supplement to increase HRV on a regular basis, or is it just better to focus on a holistic approach to maximize PNS activation? Thank you! Tom Savita: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm very grateful for you and your podcast! I was wondering, what are your thoughts on the COVID-19 Vaccine. Thank you. Savita Victoria: Hi Cabral! I just learned that my 5 year old niece has a heart murmur. Do you have any recommendations she should follow for this? Currently and also growing up in effort to eventually grow out of it ? Thank you! Bethany: Hi Dr. Cabral - love your podcast and appreciate what you do for all of us. I have a question regarding my 17 year old daughter. She has recently been diagnosed with Aortic Ventricular Tachycardia and arrhythmia. My question is... can this be caused by Hashimoto's, which she has also recently been diagnosed with - her thyroid antibodies are off the chart. Additionally, any words or advice you can give regarding treatment for this to help ease our anxiety would be appreciated. It's obviously scary for us parents when anything health related is happening with our children. Thank you! Aaron: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with these podcasts. Would you discuss the difference between Vitamin D3 absorption and utilization? I have listened to a TON of your podcasts, and relistened to all the Vit D topics. You mention needing cofactors like Vit K, Mg, etc. I use 2 scoops of DNS in almond milk each morning with my 6 drops Vit D3, take Histpro, B-complex, and 1Mg at lunch, and balanced zinc with Mg at dinner. My Vit D levels with PCP won't go much above 33. (I had gone from 5 drops to 7 with no change, so settled in on roughly 35units/lbs.) I have heard others say oil based capsules are better than drops for accurate dosing. Do you recommend drops because there is some level of sublingual capillary absorption? If so, do I need to take the DNS a couple hours before Vit D so the cofactors are already in my system, ready to work? Are the cofactors primarily for absorption of Vit D into the body, or primarily for conversion of Vit D for use in the body? This question is getting long, and I hope you understand what I'm asking. Thanks again for getting deep on bio-regulatory medicine!

1985: What Should Be the Biggest Meal of the Day (TWT)

1983: Forbidden Seeds, Inferior Omega-3 Supplements, Low Heart Rate at Night, Autoimmune Hepatitis, More Smoothies Gone Wild, Too Much Water? (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Melanie: First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to answer our questions. I’ve been doing seed cycling for a while now, so I do the pumpkin and flax seed in the follicular phase and then the sunflower & sesame in the luteal. Does that mean I can’t eat those seeds at other times? I love pumpkin and sesame and I would love to have them more often. Could I for example have pumpkin seeds in the luteal phase? I hope my question makes sense! Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral Thank you for sharing your knowledge I really appreciate listening to your podcasts and getting more knowledge every day. I've come across this product called OMEGA 3 from Nordfolk and I would love to know your thoughts. The oil is made of the zooplankton Calanus finmarchicus. The is EPA / DHA / SDA is bound in wax esters. When taking two capsuls a person gets: SDA 79mg, EPA 68mg, DHA 58mg, Total OMEGA 3 221 mg, ketolic acid 30 mg, Sterol (Brassicasterol etc.) 11 mg, Astaxanthin 1000 μg and D3 5 μg. What are your thoughts and could I take these instead of Nordic Naturals cod liver oil? I would love to use only your products but not livng in the US unfortunately my country puts huge taxes, I know this is out of your hands just mentioning it to say why I ask for alternatives :-) Thank you for your time. Best regards, Bettina Lyndsey: Hi Dr Cabral I’m wondering if you can answer this question. Both my husband and I have apple watches and wear them to bed and get our sleep data from this. My resting heart rate goes down to 58-63 but my husbands resting heart rate is from 38-57. He often gets notifications in the morning that his heart rate went under 40. Is this ok?? I’m quite worried about it. Even during the middle of the day his resting heart rate during the day gets down to 47. I’m 36 and he is 34. He is a teacher and is quite a I’ve all day. Thanks for your help. Jenna: Can you please talk about autoimmune hepatitis in the liver? What are the root causes of this and also what are the solutions you can think of? Prescribing immunosuppressants is what the doctors want to do for this, but I know there has to be another way. Thank you! Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I like putting all things I can into my smoothie, so I blend berries with different types of lettuce and herbs, add some seeds like chia and sunflower or pumpkin & linseed (depending on seed cycling), sometimes walnuts, hemp protein, etc.. I like using a lot of cinnamon, turmeric powder (with a bit of black pepper), ginger root in it as well, but I was wondering, how much of each is too much? Because I put A LOT! And too much of a good thing isn’t necessarily better, right? Lara Shelly: Hi Dr. Cabral! I listen to your podcast every morning & you are like part of our family now. I am wondering about water consumption. I drink half my body weight in ounces per day but was wondering if water combined with other ingredients counts. I make a daily smoothie with almond milk, powders, fruits & veggies. Usually I need to add water because of the thickness. Does that water count & how much water is too much water for a 44-year-old, 5’5”, 130-pound woman? Thank you so much for your ongoing support.

1982: How Long Long to Take Supplements, Detox on Anti-Depressants, CBO Protocol vs. Fecal Transplant, Low Bile Symptoms, Hidden Yeast Issues, Incense (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Anon: For how long should we be taking foundational supplements like omegas after the initial 4 months time frame? What about b vitamins and adrenal soothe or Daily Fruit 7 Vegetable Blend as well. Anon: Is the FM Detox on SSRI’s not recommended? If not, what can we do moving forward? Anon: CBO protocol and a fecal transplant? Any benefit doing both? Anon: What would be the consequences of lack of bile production? Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm writing in with 2 questions: 1. I received my Food Sensitivity test and was surprised to see that green tea, mushrooms, and a few other foods I have been incorporating more recently showed up. I had taken the test a few years back, and none of these foods showed up for me. My coach did mention that some foods eaten frequently may show up, and I'm wondering the science behind this - is this a truly inflammatory response to these foods? I did find some research dispelling IgG testing (e.g. AAAAI) noting the presence of IgG is likely a normal response of the immune system to exposure to food. Wondering your perspective on this. 2. I also recently completed the Big 5 and have completed a 14-Day Detox, Parasite Protocol, and on to the Heavy Metal Detox amongst other supplements recommended to balance out my hormones, thyroid, and gut dysbiosis. Though there were no parasites detected, I have had an anal itch for the past 8 months, and have had very low libido along with recurring UTI and yeast infection-like symptoms. Have tested negative for 2 parasite tests, UTI tests, and STI tests as well. Wondering if you have any guidance on what this might be. Thank you! Paula: Hi doc! Hope you and your family are great!

1976: Hunger Bloating, Where to Start, Aphantasia, Overrated Smoothies, Menopause & Estrogen Levels, Children Growing Pains (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Lyndsey: Hi there, my background is I’m 36 yr old female, have history of long term antibiotic use mainly for UTI’s. I also have coeliac disease and was diagnosed at age 19. I’m on the path to getting well and am working with an IHP here is Australia. I have done the starter lab tests, am just waiting for the results of these. I’ve started the CBO protocol and will have been doing it for 1 week tomorrow. My question is that for as long as I can remember if I let myself get really hungry I get nasty bloating and wind pain which then gets worse when I eat something. Why is this? It doesn’t seem to happen if I do t let myself get really hungry. My 14 year old daughter gets the exact same thing. I’d love to know what causes this. Thanks so much Uchi: At 45, I’ve had all of these conditions : PCOS, Hashimoto’s, High Blood Pressure, Colon Cancer, insomnia, skin allergies, constant diarrhea, leaky gut syndrome and anxiety. Have gone to hundreds of doctors, including 2 fx med but my symptoms continue. I want to advocate for my own health and take it into my own hands. Feeling overwhelmed: I don’t know where to start... address what issue first: Autoinmunity? Gut health? Inflammation? Would love to get some light on where to start and focus first. Sarah: Good day Dr. Cabral. Is Aphantasia something that can be cured or is it something you have to live with? For listeners, it's basically not being able to picture something in one's mind or visualise mental pictures. When told to visualise (like in your motivation and mindset Mondays or during meditation) I always assumed they meant figuratively or something. I did not know people actually see clear pictures in their mind or imagine clearly like they do in TV or film. Just wanna know if there's a root cause or it's normal some people are just unable to do so. Thank you. Have a great day Sarren: Me again. I've noticed some pushback in health spheres from some doctors that smoothies are overrated. I enjoy them but they're saying blended fruit and vegetables aren't nutritionally equivalent to the same fruit or veggie left whole even though some properties remain present, blending breaks down insoluble fiber. There's also talk of natural sugars are released from within the cell walls of the fruit and become “free sugars”. Is there any truth to what they're saying or are they just bumping their gums? Keep up great work Rhonda: Hi doctor Cabral,  I just started listening to your podcast and just can’t get enough of the amazing health information you have made available. Thank you so much!  I have a question I’m hoping you can answer: I’ve been reading a lot about menopause and am a bit spooked about what happens to your body when you lose estrogen. Therefore, I was wondering if there’s anything we can do to delay menopause as far as the lifestyle is concerned?  Also, one of my friends is in early menopause (she’s only 44). Is there anything she could do to reverse it?  Thanks again for everything you do!  Rhonda Mandy: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a question about my daughter. She is 5 and multiple times each week she is waking up in the night crying with painful legs and feet. Can you offer any advice? Thanks, Mand Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1976 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1975: High Cobalt Metals, Tired After Lunch, Hip Pain, Too Much in Smoothie, Swollen Ankles & Calves (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Sheila: I have elevated levels of Cobalt (0.068) past the blue range on the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. Can you please explain what could cause this (I don't eat a lot of meat), I do take the EquiLife B Complex once a day. Any other causes for elevation? Is there a concern with this level and if so what can I do to bring it down? John: Hi Dr. Cabral - I’m having an issue with fatigue and lightheadedness following lunch. I do 2 shakes and 2 meals each day. I don’t have an issue with breakfast which is essentially an oatmeal shake. There’s no protein powder in the shake. I get fatigued following my first whole food meal which is lunch. The next meal at supper causes no issues even if it’s the exact same meal that I had at lunch. I don’t believe the time of day makes a difference because if I go the entire day without eating and only have supper, I get the issue at supper. The common pattern appears to be the first whole food meal of the day. Do you have thoughts on why this could be happening and possible solutions? Some additional information on me: I believe I have mild POTS based on my symptoms of lightheadedness when I get up, etc. I took an Organic Acids test which showed unbalanced gut flora and yeast overgrowth. I am on day 14 of the CBO protocol, but this issue started long before that. I’ve tried Ginger tea which upsets my stomach. I’ve also tried HCL which causes severe burning in my digestive system the next morning. Do I perhaps need to add more food or protein to my first shake to “fire up” my digestion for the day? Thank you for your time. Suzy: Are you familiar with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome? This is what I believe I have. I experience a burning sensation in my butt, outer hip and down my IT band. Sometimes it's more of a dull ache. It's especially painful when I lay down and put pressure on those areas. I go to physical therapy but it only helps temporarily and really would like to solve the issue long term. Do you have any insight? Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I like putting all things I can into my smoothie, so I blend berries with different types of lettuce and herbs, add some seeds like chia and sunflower or pumpkin & linseed (depending on seed cycling), sometimes walnuts, hemp protein, etc.. I like using a lot of cinnamon, turmeric powder (with a bit of black pepper), ginger root in it as well, but I was wondering, how much of each is too much? Because I put A LOT! And too much of a good thing isn’t necessarily better, right? The second part of my question is about the seed cycling.. can I still use other seeds like chia no matter on the time of the month? And how much of the seeds for seed cycling can we use daily? Because I use a lot of sesame (I live in a country where we use Tahini with or in EVERYTHING, lol) Thank you for everything you do, listening to this podcast is a part of my morning routine every day and on days I cannot listen to it, I have withdrawal syndrome.. a little joke there to brighten up your already amazing day (although not far from the truth).. please keep it up, you’re helping so many people.. keep being this amazing! Lots of love for you and your family and everyone listening, Happy healing, Lara Brynn: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for everything you do! I love your podcast and have learned so much from you! I wanted to write in and ask you what your thoughts are on some of the health issues I am having and have been trying to figure out for the past few years. At the beginning of the day, I am not swollen or inflamed at all. However, throughout the day, my legs (especially ankles and calves) will get swollen and tight. They don’t get as swollen if I’m able to elevate them throughout the day but I have a desk job so it’s hard to elevate them. I workout 5-6 times a week. I’m 25, 134 lbs and 5’8”. It also seems like I have bad circulation since my fingers/feet will stay cold or hot, lips will turn purple when I’m cold, etc. I’m not sure if my circulation is correlated with my swelling or if it’s not related? I also have bad scoliosis - could this play a factor into my circulation and swelling? Sorry this is long, but I would really appreciate any help! I’m doing your parasite cleanse right now and will be doing the mold and heavy metal one after to see if those help. I also had a call with one of your health coaches and they suggested I do the food sensitivity test and the candida metabolic and vitamins test. Thank you so much I’m advance!

1969: Menstrual Weight Gain, Sustainable Fishing, Extended Fasting, COA, Heat Sensitive, Anti-Aging Drugs (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you so much for all the time you put in to help everyone. I really appreciate it and I have learned so much from you. My question is:- I have histamine intolerance and I’m certain that I have a leaky gut as I have a lot of food sensitivities. I only get this during hay fever season. This is my second year of controlling it through diet and not pharmaceuticals. I am keeping a very detailed food diary with symptoms and I am also tracking my weight daily. I would like to know what your thoughts are on looking at weight when trying to work out food sensitivities. Also during menstruation is it natural to gain any weight at all? Just so I can factor this in when I am tracking. I do not have any history of eating disorders and I wish I could afford labs, maybe one day. Thank you so much. Sarah Kevin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering if you have had the chance to view the documentary: “Seaspiracy?” If so, what are your thoughts on the ability to actually accomplish sustainable fishing, along with the true quality of the fish we are consuming? As stated in the documentary, wild and organic fish are not truly reflective of those labels. Thank you!! Ericka: Hello, Love your podcast. Learning a lot! I wanted to ask. I follow Ayurevdic lifestyle and I wanted to ask a question. I eat two meals a day. My work day starts at 6am. My first meal is usually around 5am. Lunch between 11 and 12. I do not eat dinner, never been a nigh eater, but around 3, I will have a smoothie. I want to try fasting from lunch to breakfast giving me a 17 hour fast. I am predominantly Pitta, can throw me off? Ericka Nicolette: Hi Dr. Cabral, First, thank you for all your guidance and expertise over the years! I have been working so hard to remove as many toxins as possible and get myself to the healthiest spot. I love your resources page to help with this transition. I recently purchased a Berkey, and received feedback saying that's not the best option since they are not third party certified. Also, with Equilife, I've transitioned all my supplements over to them, but am worried why they don't share their COA. I think the transparency would really help ease peoples minds. Can you provide guidance around these two things? As always, thank you!!! Sophia: Hi Dr. Cabral! Is there a root cause for how people react to temperature? "Cold weather people vs hot weather people" is an idea that's thrown around sometimes, and I'm wondering if there's a way to CONTROL my preferences. I have seasonal depression in the summer, and it usually starts because the heat makes me lethargic, uncomfortable, and I feel claustrophobic. It's like I lose 3 months of my life, and I want to know if there's something I can do to control my anguish in hot weather. I've tried hot yoga, I take cold showers, exercise, drink lots of water and am on an SSRI, but if there's another way of controlling this annual downfall, I'd love to hear what you have to say. It's almost as debilitating as allergies.Thank you for any thoughts! Alyssa: Hi dr Cabral, Fellow Bostonian here! I’m curious if you have heard of David Sinclair’s research out of Harvard university on anti aging using metformin and various supplements to reverse aging. If so, what are your thoughts on his research and his personal anti aging protocols he uses. What do you personally use. Thanks in advance!

1968: Burn Fat as Fuel, Eyes Tearing, Heart Palpitations, UTI, Achilles Injury, Itchy Stomach After Eating (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Paula: Thank you so much for your incredible work. I’m an IHP level 2 btw so I did learn a lot about exercise. However, I was reading Awaken The Giant Within by Tony Robbins and I’m not sure I agree with the section where he talks about exercise. He says that anaerobic exercise burns glycogen as the main source of fuel while causing the body to store fat but aerobic however burns fat as fuel. He talks about the problem of people pushing themselves beyond their heart rates in an anaerobic state and that this is dangerous because the body shunts blood from critical organs because it needs that immediate demand for blood and so these organs lose a large amount of oxygen. According to him “wind sprints create an immediate oxygen deficit in the cells and begin to train your metabolism to burn glycogen/sugar but the fat continues. Apparently the key is to burn fat and not sugar. Very confused now as I thought workouts such as tabatas were very effective to burn fat! Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, what makes eyes (or an eye) teary in sunlight? My left eye seems to almost always tear at the outer corner when in the sun. Sometimes it won’t stop. My eyes seem to be a little sensitive, nothing I haven’t been able to deal with but for example when I looked out the window the other day I suddenly had a blurry and dizzy feeling to the point I couldn’t see anything and turned round and then a few seconds later was fine. I’m not great with fluorescent lights either. There’s a chance I could possibly be anaemic so whether it’s related I’m not sure, or dry eye (I supplement enough including primrose oil and Seabuckthorn oil). Cannot really recall how long I’ve had this happening. If I wear sunglasses it seems to be ok but I think it was Chervin (Cymbiotika founder) that said our eyes should be exposed to sunlight at least for a bit of time. Thank you for all you do. Vera: Hello doctor Cabral, I’ve noticed that from time to time I get heart palpitations at the same time when I feel bloated. It actually often happens just before I burp or pass gas. Do you think it is connected? And what can be the cause of it, and the best remedy? Thank you in advance for your answer! Best,Vera Lyndsey: Hi Dr Cabral I’ve been on long term antibiotics for approximately 9 years ever since getting married. I have coeliac disease and from listening to your podcasts, I’ve found a IHP here in Australia to work with as I’m sure I have some terrible gut problems. I’ll be starting the CBO protocol soon (am waiting for my starter lab results) but I had been taking an antibiotic called macrodantin after having sex to avoid a UTI. I’ve purchased your UTI protocol with the idea that while I’m working to correct my health I could possibly use this in place of the antibiotic. The last thing I want to do is be on antibiotics while I’m trying to get getter. Does this sound like a good plan to you? Previous to the regular antibiotics I had a UTI at least once per month so have been taking antibiotics for my entire married life 16 years! I have listened to your podcasts about UTI’s but I’m not sure any of them directly relate to my issue. Any insight would be great thanks Kelly: I am a 52 year old female weighing 190 5'5. A recent MRI has shown marrow edema underlying the calcaneal attachment of the distal Achilles tendon. I am an active person currently trying to lose 45 lb and don't like taking ibuprofen. Is there any natural protocols (supplement, essential oil, massage technique or exercise) I could try to relieve the edema or assist this bone marrow issue.Any suggestions is appreciated. Thank you so very much! Kelly Sophia: Hi Dr. Cabral! For many years I've had this weird itchiness around my lower abdomen - right under the belly button and across my gut - usually a couple minutes after I eat. This sensation is usually also accompanied by bloating and just general discomfort in my body. I always chocked it up to my body dysmorphia, but I'm wondering now if it could be epidermal inflammation from the food I'm eating.

Whether you’re religious, or not, there are some major life lessons in the Bible that could help all of us to become better human beings…   But did you know that not all of the original books of the Bible were included?

1962: Hormonal Acne, Allergy vs. Sensitivity, 2 Meals a Day Drawback, Continuous Glucose Monitor, Parasites Before Candida, Uranium in Water (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Hailey: Hi Dr Cabral, I have been a listener for years! My question is that I have struggled with acne forever an mostly what I would say is hormonal, cuz it was more around my mouth and chin. I have brought the amounts of active sites down a lot by diet and supplements to lower my cortisol levels. (It’s always a work in progress). I live in the Midwest and i have a indoor job. But for that first time in forever I took a beach vacation, and in prepping, I did go to a tanning bed prior to vacation. I noticed that while using the tanning bed and all the time on vaca where I was getting a lot of sunlight (wearing non nano sun block) my skin was beautiful. Since I’ve come back to the Midwest my skin has blemishes and is breaking out again. What would you suggest I could do to help? The only other time my skin was very clear was when I was pregnant and then nursing. I do take DNS, 4000 IU vit D, B complete, omega 3, probiotic, adrenal soothe, magnesium and ashwaganda tea. Thank you for all you do for us, I share your podcasts and book with others often! Gosia: hi Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for such a great insight on so many topics. I have learnt from you a lot, I am a nutritional therapist and also use your advise in my practice. I listened once to your podcast where you were mentioning that you have never seen food intolerance to blueberries however I have to admit that on the test I did (IgA from blood sample) it came up together with broccoli and cabbage - seems like great things to eat. I actually eat them despite without any symptoms - do you think it would be worth taking them off? Another question which comes to my mind: when I did the test I was very much overloaded with Candida so the test was showing reaction to oregano and coconut - do you think this could have been because Candida reacts to this products? Another question I wanted to ask on Candida is - does it have any connection with high lactic acid on organic acid test (despite arabinose)? Thanks a lot for your help. Regards, Gosia Simone: Hi Doctor Cabral, I would be super grateful if you could give me some advice on the following: I do IF and therefore I eat 2 meals a day. In order to get my calories and nutrients in, I make them super large. Healthy of course, but large :) What I'm noticing is that I get extremely bloated after these meals. I had my gut tested, and I have no yeast overgrowth, parasites or anything similar. That's why I wanted to ask you if you think my bloat is result of my large meals, or if I should get more testing (for food intolerances f.e.). And if it is large meals, how should I deal with it to avoid the bloat? Thank you in advance for your answer and hope you have a wonderful day! Simone Michelle: Dear Dr. Cabral, How do you feel about continuous glucose meters? Do you think it would be a good idea to weare one for a few weeks to figure out what raises your blood sugar and try keeping it balanced? I feel that blood sugar is supposed to go up and down and that monitoring is absolete, but I trust you more than anyone else when it comes to natural health advice, so I would love to hear what you think about it. Kindest regards. Michelle Sam: If someone is interested in doing both the CBO and parasite protocols, does it matter which one is done first? Nancy: I have been following Dr. Cabral’s podcast on Heavy Metals Poisoning but couldn’t find anything wrt to detox for uranium from well water. Is there a podcast or specialist you can refer me to for a TeleMed consultation. Thanks in advance for your help.

1961: Collagen Drawbacks, Microwave Food Warning, Smartwatch EMFs, Trachea Issues, HCL Burning, Dairy Testing (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Suzanne: Hi Dr Cabral.. I’m very interested in a very good collagen supplement but have read that it’s not good for someone who has had breast cancer in the past, so this makes me apprehensive. Can you please provide your thoughts on this? Thank you Suzanne Maria: Hi Dr! The book I’m currently reading says to it is best to avoid microwaving starchy foods as the high heat turns starch into ‘advanced glycation end products’, which can build up in the body and damage organs. I don’t often use the microwave but I know many people do, so was wondering if you have heard of this. Thanks! Paula: Hi! What are your thoughts on fitbits or Apple Watches due to EMFs? I wear it to track my steps and sleep :) Troy: Hi Dr. Cabral, You recently joined us on our “podcast” show and we are grateful for everyone minute spent with you. Your work is life changing. Thank you for everything you do. Question: My wife has had trouble breathing over the last few years and was diagnosed with idiopathic subglottic tracheal stenosis. We are looking for naturopathic ways to treat the issue and prevent breathing problems from reoccurring. My wife has had surgery to go in a laser out the damaged scar tissue blocking the trachea and his being recommended for another surgery that will include chemo. With being a family that strongly believes in naturopathic healing, we are in need of help for other options. Thank you for your consideration in helping us build a better plan. Troy Kenzie: I have heartburn pretty often. I tried the HCL betaine with pepsin as I suspected I had low stomach acid. I took one capsule and experienced a lot of discomfort in my chest in nausea. Does this mean I don’t have low stomach acid? What should be my next steps to figuring out why I get heartburn? John: Hi Dr. Cabral - I did the food sensitivity test provided by EquiLife and scored High for all foods in the Dairy group besides Sheep's Yogurt and Beta-Lactogobulin which were Low. I don't notice bloating with Whey, but I scored High on that as well. Considering this, do you think I can use Ghee? Would I have to wait until I have a food sensitivity test where the levels aren't High for all dairy foods?

1955: Morning Cortisol Spike, Restless Leg, Face Blushing, Prostatitis, Gut Detoxing Herbs, Breakfast Food Combinations (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Kristen: Hi there - I LOVE your content, you’re doing great things. I am a female in my late 20s and have had hormone issues for awhile. I got tested and have high estriol and low progesterone (estrogen dominance), but also have a huge cortisol spike in the morning (above normal). I am looking to lose weight and love to workout out in the morning first thing (fasted) but was wondering if you recommend eating something. If yes, what would you recommend given I’m looking to lose weight? Honey, a piece of fruit, celery juice? Any other suggestions? Thank you so much! Ann: Aloha, I am writing in regards to my 75 year old father. He has an over production of red blood cells, he’s taking Jakafi for his blood. He has restless leg, and his psi count wAs high but after taking the medication (Jakafi) his count has gone down. Thank you for your time! Sent from the heart, Ann Anonymous: I experience facial blushing in social situations where I feel uncomfortable or when the attention is on me and then knowing my face is turning red makes it even worse because then I worry that people are going to notice it and/or say something. It's a bad cycle. I know it's a fight or flight response that's happening but my question is what can I do about it as a long term fix, and also is there anything I can do in that moment when I feel it coming on, to send a signal to my body that it's safe and doesn't need to be in flight or fight? Alexandro: Doctor Cabral,I’m a 46 year old male. I suffer from what I believe to be chronic issues, from prostatitis, to an immune system one. I’ve recently changed my diet to an 85% or so fruits and vegetables. Symptoms are: the typical prostatitis symptoms, extreme body aches when dealing with a virus infection, constant fatigue, seasonal allergies, post nasal drip, chronic back pain (herniated discs). I’m interested in consulting with you to try to recover my happiness back. I must add that most of these issues have accompanied me since I was a teenager. John: Hi Dr. Cabral - I believe you mentioned before that for stubborn cases on the CBO protocol, you may use Citricidal drops and/or GI Balance. Can I include these during the CBO protocol to further maximize the impact of the CBO protocol, or is there harm in including these without knowing if they're truly needed? I am planning to use Citricidal drops during month 1 and GI balance during month 2 along with the normal CBO supplements. If I use GI balance in month 2, do I need to take it with a different meal than when I'm taking L. Acidophilus? Thank you for your time. John: Hi Dr. Cabral - If I’d like to do a DNS/fruit smoothie along with oatmeal for breakfast, is it better to consume the DNS/fruit smoothie first since it has fruits, or should I have oatmeal first? And when my digestion gets better, do you think it’s okay to put the DNS powder and fruits into my oatmeal since they’re all somewhat “mushy” / blended foods? Thank you for your time.

1954: Treadmill Desk, Broccoli Sprouts, Breathing Troubles, Watery Mouth, My Daily Routine, Thalassemia Minor (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Victor: Would you recommend an under desk treadmill? I spend so many hours sitting down because of work and was thinking setting out my office in a way that I could walk in the treadmill while working. And no, this is not a replacement to my workouts or outdoor walking. It’s just that sometimes I find it hard to get my 10k steps daily. I feel like I get a lot in the morning (walk to the gym and back) but that’s around 7k steps. Then sometimes I don’t have time to leave the house for another walk because I’m super busy with work... hence was thinking the under desk treadmill! Thomas: Hey Dr. Cabral, thank you for the endless wisdom and the many years you’ve added onto my life. I wanted to ask you about broccoli sprouts. I know they are full of sulforafane, so I grow my own in a jar, and put a dense handful into my morning smoothies. Do you grow and/ or use them? Sometimes they smell pungent so it’s hard to tell if it’s the beneficial sulforafane or something bad like mold. I try to err on the safe side so wanted to see what your pros/cons would be. Thanks! Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm wondering your advice for someone who has done gut healing but still experiences allergy symptoms. I've worked with your team for about 3 years now and have done CBO once + a second short round, 2 mold protocols (and testing for mold in house - none), a heavy metal detox, rebalanced hormones + cortisol levels, and supplements to adjust other imbalances that came up, plus took out food sensitivities. I ran the big 5 again a year ago and things were much improved, so I know it's working to some extent. I no longer experience hay fever symptoms like Post nasal drip, itchy eyes, runny nose, etc. However I do still experience asthma/allergy symptoms in the form of sinus headaches/migraines, and breathing troubles. The breathing troubles are not just standard asthma attacks, but what I can best describe as "sniffing for air" - a sensation I'm not getting enough air in (easily) through the nose, so it's as if I gasp for air through the nostrils. Often my throat & tongue muscles feel tense as well. I'm currently on Cingular and Xyzal, plus HistPro and other allergies teas & tinctures, but can't seem to totally kick my allergies. What recommend next steps would you take if you were in my shoes? Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral! Wondering if you can provide an explanation for feeling a watery mouth/ slightly nauseous sensation during late nights or early mornings. I notice if I stay up late (no alcohol), or wake up early (before 7am sometimes!), I get this uncomfortable feeling paired with fatigue. Eating seems to help it so I wonder if it's related to blood sugar? So curious your thoughts! Thanks for your help always :) Erica: Hey Cabral! I'm not sure if you have answered this question before.. I couldn't find it online.. but I was wondering what your daily eating + supplement routine looks like. What times you eat breakfast, lunch, dinner.. possibly a juice.. what your go to eating routine looks like.. i..e breakfast = smoothie + oatmeal, lunch = vegetables + lean protein.. foods you eat most commonly, etc. of course I know everyone's body is different.. and reacts / responds to things differently.. but it would be cool if you maybe made an episode on this ! Thanks! Kelsey: Any tips for living with thalassemia minor?

1948: Kidney Health, Chronic Yeast Infections, Muscle Pain After Exercise, Zeolite, Zinc & Cramping, Biofilm Dissolving Drops (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Suayda: Hi, Dr. Cabral appreciate all you do. I’ll try to make this concise. I experienced tubulointerstitial nephritis with uveitis in January 2021. My kidneys failed suddenly. The prognosis is good in that my renal function will return. I went from 15% function to 42% currently. However, the rate of improvement has started to slow down recently. I have been more active, eating much better and also using herbs/supplements. My questions are: - could this be caused by toxicity of some kind? Ie mold, heavy metals or parasites? Maybe all the above? My apartment here and the UK in general has a lot of mold. My furniture is also older and most likely has lots of VOCs. I feel like my environment is making me sick and preventing healing. - Are any of the following herbs harmful? I’ve tried to research abundantly and have felt improvement with the following either daily or a few times a week: chanca piedra, he shou wu, dandelion extract, ginko biloba extract - Same question for these supplements: phosphatydil choline, ashwagandha (for my adrenals), magnesium, vitamin d (last test showed I’m at 69) - Lastly, is there anything else I can do to restore and strengthen my kidneys and prevent this from happening again.  Kristina: Hi Dr.Cabral, I have a question about chronic yeast infections and candida. After doing lots of research I think I have candida overgrowth - as well as getting thrush (x1 a month) I also have fatigue, brain fog, spots on face and sometimes a little on neck and chest. Other symptoms are toe fungus and also my hair has been shredding. It has been so frustrating as the medical doctors have no answers for me! I have listened to your previous podcasts on candida and thrush and I know you mention Boric acid. I was wondering if the Candida and Bacterial Optimizer Protocol is what I should get? Should I use the Boric Acid as well alongside the protocol or will the protocol tackle it all at the same time and help me get rid of candida for good? Thank you so much!! I really appreciate all your advice. Tina: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks so much for everything that you do! I was wondering if you can advise on the best foods, supplements or herbs to take to prevent muscle pain after exercise and to optimise results. My partner always gets sore muscles and I was wondering if there is anything he can to prevent that. I heard magnesium is beneficial but any advice would be much appreciated. Best things to consume before and after exercise? Thank you! John: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have an issue with zinc supplementation. Zinc gives me abdominal cramping and mild diarrhea. I've experienced it across multiple brands and multiple forms of zinc, including the zinc in Healthy Gut Support. I am going to start the CBO protocol soon, and I noticed month three has a notable amount of zinc in the Healthy Belly supplement, and I'm concerned I won't be able to take it. Even when I take zinc with a meal, I notice the symptoms to some degree, so I avoid supplements with zinc all together. Do you have a recommendation on how I can accommodate Healthy Belly in the CBO protocol and Healthy Gut Support later on? Also, can you please share why you think I may have such a strong reaction to supplements that contain zinc? I saw an article tying it stomach acid issues which I believe I have. I tried HCL, but it causes abdominal pain and burning. Also, citrus foods give me acid reflux. Do these issues and my inability to tolerate zinc have anything in common? Thanks for your time, and the products you've created. They've improved my health, and I'll be a customer for life. Lorena: Hey Doc! What are your thoughts on Zeolite? I’ve been hearing incredible things about it! Melissa: We have a Berkey water filtration system and my son brings gallon glass bottle to fill for his apartment. I recently saw Berkey sells Biofilm drops which are formulated to store and maintain water for up to five years. I was curious if you had any thoughts about using this to store water? They also claim the drops extend the time-frame between cleanings when added to the upper chamber. I am still working through your Podcasts (have for several years) and love learning from you! I could not find a Podcast about the Berkey Biofilm drops and asked in the support group on Facebook with no luck! Thank you for all you do and all your inspiration.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1948 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1947: Heart Health, PEMF Hertz, Weak Legs, Multiple Sclerosis, Baked Potato Dangers, High Iodine Diets (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jen: Hi Dr. C! Do you have any knowledge or history working with patients with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (ARVD)? I'm wondering if you have any advice on natural ways to support the body. Thank you for all you do! Karen: Hi there Dr. Cabral and thank you for all you do! I have listened to your previous podcast on PEMF mats and appreciated the information. I don't fully understand how PEMF works but recently read that 10-15 gauss is required to stimulate adenosine receptors to reduce inflammation. The Healthy Line website for the PEMF mat you recommend states that their PEMF operates at 7.8 hertz but makes no mention of gauss. Can you explain the difference and help me to better understand what I should be looking for in a PEMF mat? Thanks a ton! Kathy: Dear Dr. Cabral, I've run the big 5 labs and done all the protocols with Equilife to address my imbalances, so I feel really great thanks to you! I have a recent concern I cannot solve. I've danced flamenco for a couple years now and we always do intense footwork, but only recently I find that all my leg muscles feel extremely weak after only 5 minutes of work, to the point where I'm in significant pain - it's like I have no muscle strength or energy in them - and the next day I'm super sore. Up until a few months ago, I never had this weakness, pain or soreness. I do the foundational protocol level 3, and also take the cal-mag 2 - 4 caps per day (based on my HTMA results). I've tried adding creatine but with no change. Can you point me toward what can be causing this? Is it possibly a mitochondrial issue or perhaps metabolic? Thank you and I appreciate you so much! -Kathy Pip: Hi Dr Cabral, Would love your thoughts on my questions about Multiple Sclerosis. I’ve had a search on your podcasts page but didn’t find exactly what I was after. I know that you believe that all (well most!) diseases can be prevented, so what would you say to someone who was showing multiple symptoms of MS but hadn’t been formally diagnosed yet, but the possibility of it had been mentioned. There’s obviously no cure for MS so what would you suggest if this was one of your family members in this situation? Thanks so much, I appreciate your thoughts! Maria: Forever grateful for your knowledge ! I recently heard that baking potato (starchy foods) causes the formation of a harmful substance‘ acrylamide’, which can be carcinogenic. Apparently it is from the chemical reaction of certain sugars and the amino acid asparagine from high temp cooking. Furthermore, if you eat Baked potato it is recommended to not eat the skin, or just better to steam or boil. I’ve never heard of this before so was wondering of if you have ! Thank you Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral, Thanks so much for providing us all with such great information. I constantly recommend your podcast, You are a superstar! I have bradycardia. My Heart rate is consistently around 55... and drops below 50 during sleep. I’m awaiting my thyroid panel blood results. I am certain that I am hypothyroid, my TSH was 3.65 and I’ve just convinced my doc to run further tests. I have had mixed information about iodine, I have listened to podcasts suggesting supplementing with iodine but after reading Dr Christiansons book ‘the thyroid reset’, he explains that there is too much iodine in the diet.. and I do feel less fatigued after reducing it. I just wondered what your thoughts were on this and also is there anything I can do to bring my heart rate up to a normal range?

1941: Inflammatory Reactions, Pancreas & Heart Issues, FloraFilm & Egg Sensitivity, Eliminating Eggs, Timing AM Supplements, Oils & Oxidation (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Kimberly: Hi Dr Cabral. I am a devoted listener and your protocols and FM detoxes have improved my quality of life so much. My question is, I took the J & J vaccine. My reactions were normal ( fever, chills, nausea, headache,etc). I did experience severe headaches a few weeks after receiving the jab, so my PCP referred me to ER to get CT, contrast MRI to rule out blood clots. I was fortunate not have the rare blood clot, but the MRI showed that I have an Olfactory Groove Meningioma. I never had headaches before, and I had an MRI a few years earlier to rule out pituitary tumor as a cause of my low thyroid. I have 2 questions: 1. Is it possible my immune response to the vaccine triggered the tumor to push against my nerves causing these severe headaches? 2. Would something like florafilm help keep this tumor from growing. I know I have to defer to my neurologist and her team but curious of any natural treatments for this type of brain tumor. Carmen: Hello Dr.Cabral, After a visit to the ER due to severe dehydration from a stomach flu, I was sent home with the CT results of my pancreas classified as normal. After getting home and reading the findings of the CT, the statement "extensive fatty replacement of the pancreatic parenchyma", left me a little worried. It does not sound " normal". I am 42 years old, 5'6, 130 lb, I eat fairly healthy, don't smoke or drink, but do have high cholesterol (350 total). Any thoughts? Thank you for all you do, it truly makes a difference in my everyday life Joy: Hello Dr Cabral, my question is related to the heavy metal detox supplements. It was recommended by my HC that I do the heavy metal detox based on results of the minerals and metals test. I noticed the Florafilm (in the protocol) has an ingredient from egg whites (lysozyme). When I did your food sensitivity test it showed a sensitivity to eggs. Should I avoid the Florafilm supplement because of my egg sensitivity? On a side note, if I click on just the Florafilm supplement in equi.life, that’s not included with the protocol, it lists different ingredients including no lysozyme. That confused me. Are there 2 Florafilm supplements? Thank you! Maria: Thank you for your time! My question is, i have eliminated eggs for over 6 months due to having a severe iGg reaction on my food sensitivity test. However, I had not continued with the CBO protocol due to being underweight and my health coach believed it is more important to get my body to a healthy stage as long as my digestion is okay. As I had not done the CBO protocol, I was wondering if I am able to introduce eggs to my diet as my immune system has had a long time without being exposed to the egg protein, or would it still be best to avoid eggs? This also includes a few other foods like chia seeds and cows dairy. Nicolette: Hi Dr. Stephen, first off, THANK YOU. I have gone through all your Thyroid podcasts, and feel I have a pretty strong understanding on how to heal my Hashimotos. I still work with an endocrinologist as I have been on Synthroid for 15 years. (I am 27). I started on it at a very young age. I am on an extremely high dose and have been really working to heal myself with multiple of your test, and protocols (metals and CBO). I stick to a very clean diet, workout regularly, and have really reduced my stress levels. I told my endocrinologist that since my numbers (T4, T3, TPO, reverse t3) are looking good, I would really like to start to decrease my dosage of synthroid to begin to get off of it. He said since I am still not feeling me best (weight gain, alway puffy, wake up groggy, cold hands/feet) that my body needed a change so he lowered my synthroid, but added Liothyronine. He said if I do well on this and continue to, we can work to move off them? 2 questions, being on these two medication I’m not suppose to have calcium and iron until 4 hours after. That really effects my morning smoothie with your supplements since some of them contain those. What are your thoughts on those two medications being used together and when should I consume my morning smoothie? THANK YOU! Maria: Hi Dr Cabral, forever appreciative for your knowledge! I have a quick question, I understand that heating oils is not a good idea due to oxidation, however I just read in the book I’m currently reading, that each time an oil is reheated, it breaks down and it’s chemical structure becomes more destabilised. I am unsure if that just includes oils used for deep frying, or also oils such as avocado oil when reheating leftovers? Thank you!

1940: Restore Energy, Magnesium & Fasting, HRV & Fasting, Stress & Caffeine, Doctor’s Note, Post-Partum Nutrient Deficiency (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jamie: First and foremost, a thousand thank yous and it still wouldn't be enough for you and of course your team. After having COVID quite mildly it does seem that i have some symptoms that are taking a bit longer to get over and i would love to understand what is going on a little better if possible. So it is to do with energy levels. I would jump on the peloton beforehand and then walk to work feeling energised. Nowadays if i do that i will feel tired by 2pm and when i use a lot of energy i will get a small fuzziness in my head and light burning in my nose. What is causing this and what might one do through functional medicine, supplements diet etc... to help maybe address this and restore the energy levels to the previous position? Thank you again as i couldn't see a specific answer in your podcasts addressing this and i followed your immunity protocol as soon as i tested positive and for a while afters (even had a call with Julia but was too early to ask her the above!). Again i cannot express how grateful i am for all you have studied and all you have done to make functional medicine mainstream again and accessible to all. It has changed my life for sure and i really enjoy being able to pay little bits forward whenever i can. Keep well. Isabelle: Hello doctor Cabral, I love your podcast, especially the weekend edition! I was wondering if you could maybe help me out with the following: I do 16:8 IF every day. My last meal is around 4 or 5pm and during my fasting window I only drink water. My sleep has not been great, therefore I want to start using magnesium and other supplements before bed. However, the purpose of my fast is to get as much authopaghy as possible, so I don't want to get too many calories in or increase my blood glucose or any other hormones. Do you think that magnesium would interfere with my fast? And what other supplements do not affect the clean, water fast? Thank you for answering our questions, you ar amazing! Isabelle Denise: Hi dr Cabral, I hope you are well and healthy! I think you're probably the only person that could clear this up for me, so here's my issue: they say that prolonged fasting stresses out the body and can lead to hormone imbalance - especially when it comes to women. I'm a 43 year old woman and I love fasting. When I do a long, 24-hour fast my HRV goes up, deep sleep doubles, hart rate and tepmerature goes down and I reach the best recovery score on my Oura ring - much better than when I eat regularly. But I am afraid that it will mess up my hormones. So can I trust that if my recovery index is okay, my hormones will be okay too and not go haywire? Or are these totally different systems that don't influence eachother? I can't wait to hear what your thoughts are on this. Thanks a million for this, and everything else you've done for our community! You're THE BEST! Denise Eliana: I am 24 years old and very healthy, eating a diet of whole foods and exercising often. I frequently have achey, sometimes sharp, muscular pain in my upper back and neck. It’s definitely worse with stress and I have wondered if it’s worse on the days I drink coffee. My chiropractor said exercise (I strength train a lot) and caffeine both make the body more acidic which could lead to this pain. Could you shed some light on this and how to lessen the pain? I do drink less caffeine now and many days I have chai instead of coffee... however, I still experience the pain most days. Janice: Hi Stephen, I have listened to your podcasts for quite a while now, thank you for what you do. My question is, if my employer makes covid vaccines mandatory, would I be able to get a note from your office excusing me from the vaccine? I am 62, in good health, love my job and I don't want to lose it, but I will not get the vaccine. I have been working from home since March 2020, I do not come in physical contact with others. Things could change and they could order us back into the office, and that is my concern. Thank you for your time. Rebecca: Hi Dr Cabral, I’m 11 months post partum and my hair is starting to get very, very dry to the point it’s snapping off all around the front and is constantly frizzy and matted, I’ve never seen it like this before. I’m still breastfeeding, so I know I can’t do many protocols in terms of detox but just wondering what you would recommend to help with this in the mean time? Also noticed my babies hair is doing the same thing? I’m guessing it’s some form of malabsorption of proper nutrients/vitamins etc thyroid or stress? Also just for a bit of background I did an OAT 2 weeks before I found out I was pregnant and it came back with high clostridia (not diff), two mold markers, quino acid high and lactic acid etc just to give you a rough idea of the pattern. Tanks for your time, Bec :) Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1940 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

1934: High DHEA, Garlic Sensitivity, Exercise vs. Sauna Sweat, DHEA/Cortisol Imbalance, Ashwagandha and Hashimotos (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Ellen: I have been told but a few naturopaths that my DHEA is high, ranging from low 200’s to 390. I am a 60 yo post menopausal women who experiences fatigue, lack of energy and regular insomnia. My primary Dr doesn’t seemed concerned provides little direction. Can you shed light on DHEA’s importance and how to lower? My cortisol is also high. I d not feel stressed. Karen: Hello Dr. Cabral and thank you in advance for helping me with this problem! I'm a 48 year-old, healthy woman who has experienced flushing, brain fog, and profuse sweating on my eyelids and under my eyes whenever I consume garlic. Sometimes, even the smell of garlic can cause the onset of these symptoms. Unfortunately, this sensitivity has become much worse as I have gotten older. These symptoms will last for several hours and are quite uncomfortable but can be lessened slightly by drinking large quantities of water and/or by chewing mint gum. It certainly makes sense to me that this is an allicin sensitivity, but my symptoms seem so odd in comparison to other food sensitivity based symptoms. Do you have any insight into what might be going on and/or if there is anything additional I can do to offset the symptoms if I happen to accidentally ingest garlic? I am in the habit of asking restaurant staff if certain dishes contain garlic, but oftentimes they either do not know or incorrectly state that there is no garlic in the recipe (and sometimes there is not enough garlic in a recipe for my taste buds to detect it but there is still enough for my body to respond negatively). Thank you!!! Sarah: I understand the benefits of infrared sauna multiple times a week. Right now I’m only able to go once a week. However, I do workout 5x a week, a mix of strength & hiit, and sweat a lot. So my question is, does sweating during cardio provide the same benefit as the detoxification benefits of the sauna? Ana: Hey Doc! I'm a certified L1 & L2 IHP and I love it so much. I always go back to the materials and I feel like I will be doing so forever. There is so much content! My question is: One of my client's saliva hormonal test came back with lower than normal cortisol at the four different times in the day but quite high DHEA.Some estrogen dominance too but testosterone was ok. I'm usually used to high DHEA when cortisol is high but not high DHEA when cortisol is low. Is this common? Why would this happen? Roberta: I have hashimoto, I keep reading, should not take ashwagandha if you have hashimoto. Is this true? Thank you Roberta 56 with terrible hot flashes due to post menopause,brainfog,anxiety and panic attacks.

1933: Sun vs. Supplementing Vitamin D, Stale Spices, Radiation Side Effects, Surgery Scarring, Vitamin A vs. D, Avocado Seed Benefits HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Karen: Hi there Dr. Cabral and thank you for being the one resource I trust for non-biased answers to my health-related questions. I am a fair-skinned, healthy, 48 year-old woman. Recent gene testing shows that I might be prone to Vitamin D deficiencies and historically, I struggle to keep my 25-OH Vitamin D levels above 20 ng/mL in the wintertime and 40 ng/mL in the summertime unless I am supplementing with vitamin D3. I prefer to get D3 from the sun when weather permits but am very torn between the positives of sun exposure and the negatives of skin damage, and it seems as if health practitioners have wildly conflicting opinions. Currently, I use the app 'D Minder' to tell me when I can get vitamin D from the sun (based on my geographical location and the time of year) and I lay out in the sun in a two-piece swimsuit for a total of 20-30 minutes on those days (usually 3-5 days a week). Am I risking unnecessary sun damage with this approach and is there anything I can do to offset the damage such as red-light therapy, serums containing sea buckthorn and other healthy oils, eating a healthy whole-foods diet, or even the use of Fernblock (Polypodium - fern leaf extract) which I am considering taking prior to sun exposure? Very much looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Maria: I have read lots to do with the importance of avoiding rancid/oxidised oils, however was wondering if this is also the case with spices. Would there be any harm (despite loss in flavour and potency) in consuming stale spices? Such as many cardamom pod seeds I have found are more of a tan brown colour than black. Just wondering if It’s better to throw them or fine to use them. Thank you so much for your help! Chelsea: Hello Dr Cabral, This question is regarding cumulative radiation exposure and is there any way to mitigate it. In the last 17 years I have had 7 CAT scans. Two of the head (sinus issues) and five of the abdominal (kidney stones) area. It’s been seven years since my last CAT scan. In the past two years I have had five xrays of my hips, two xrays of my chest and one of my shoulder. Most recent X-ray was March 2021. I am scheduled for a mammogram in May 2021. The breast center will not provide ultrasound if mammogram is not done (I did do thermography and need further evaluation). Mouth X-rays at dentist as well in Feb 2021. I’m 44 and terrified at of all the cumulative damage that this radiation may have/has done to my body and want to know...is there anything I can do about it? Thank you for all that you do, all that you share and the empathy you resonate. With gratitude, faithful listener since May 2016, Chelsea Gordon: Hello Dr Cabral, appreciate all you do! I have suffered from lower abdominal discomfort on and off since my time in the Vietnam War. I was treated for an intestinal infection. The acute pain went away. Years later I had surgery for an inguinal hernia. The pain (cramping, tenderness, some bloating and gas) came back, and continues on a regular basis now, affecting my sleep. Many drs thought these symptoms were related to the surgery - adhesions or possible that it affected the nerves. I was put on Gabapentin which did not help. Any thoughts on relation to the hernia or am I still experiencing issues related to the intestinal infection I had so many years ago? Thanks! Darren: Good day to you Dr Cabral and your family. I checked the search bar before asking this question but maybe I did a poor job in doing so. If possible, can you briefly touch on or probably consider doing a future show on the best time to take different supplements, vitamins and minerals so as to avoid any conflict, adverse interaction and optimal absorption possible. For instance, I understand Vitamin A can decrease Vitamin D intake. Also, if that's the case, won't the minerals and vitamins in multivitamins inhibit each other? As always, keep up great work Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I have a question about the avocado seed (pit) powder as a supplement. It’s supposed to strengthen the immune system and supposedly it’s also anti inflammatory and a powerful antioxidant.. I’ve got a recommendation for it for fibromyalgia but I don’t trust anything until I check in with you first haha..

1927: Low HgA1c, Optimize Performance, Speed Up Metabolism, One-Sided Swelling, High Blood Sugar, Yeasty Smell (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Jen: We always hear about Hemoglobin A1C being too high and that being a concern, but I'd like to understand if Hemoglobin A1C can be considered too low. If so, what would cause that/ what can be done for it? I learned in IHP that ideal range is 4-5.6, but my number is 3.6 on my lab test. I struggle with hypoglycemia symptoms, could that be related? Karima: Hi Doc! Love love love your content, you're doing an incredible job! I am a 23 year old healthy woman that is trying to optimise my health as much as possible. I've done several of your protocols (parasites, detox, cbo, cbo finisher), exercise regularly, sleep well, meditate, eat well, take the DNS, omega 3, zinc, magnesium, vitamin D, CBD oil, B complex and digestive enzymes on a daily basis. I'm diving deeper and deeper into biohacking because I want to optimise my performance at work (I'm an entrepreneur) and just started taking Coenzyme Q10 on top of my other supplements. Also started adding a tsp of mct oil to my daily smoothies. My questions are: 1. Do you think there will be a detrimental effect of taking coenzyme Q10 if I'm just 23? Could my body develop a dependency to it? 2. Any other supplements that you have seen in your experience that are great for boosting mental performance (creativity, focus & efficiency)? Tab: Hi! First off, thanks for all you do! I’ll be joining the IHP school in the fall and have already started directing people I love in your direction for their health & wellness needs. My question is about metabolism. I’ve heard someone say recently that to speed up metabolism is actually not good for longevity due to it being accelerated cell division. They equated accelerated cell division to early aging/death. Their point was to eat things that are more nutritionally dense so that our body uses it better. Long story short, I’m just conflicted on the issue of metabolism and want to be able to coach my clients with the truth. Thanks again and God bless! Jacquie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope you're having a good day! I'm an IHP and I'm writing on behalf on my 27 yr old client. He has completed the big 5 and we've been working the process (modified CBO, HM detox, 21 DCD). He's lost over 20 pounds and feels generally healthier. The only issues remaining are the swelling on the whole right side of his body and sometimes pain in his lower right abdomen. My question is why the swelling just on one side? I could see if he had an injury to a specific area that could cause swelling, but it just seems odd to be the whole right side of his body. He does have one kidney that is quite smaller than the other, but all the conventional medicine tests and the big 5 lab results came back saying his kidneys are healthy/functioning normally. Any ideas of where to look next? Thank you for all that you do! Lina: Hello, Been listening to your podcast for a few years now, and it has completely changed my life!  My fasted sugar is between 110 and 120, not the Big 5, or 21 day detox ( not even during it), Fatlossity, or other types of yearly cleanses helped me find the cause/solution for that number; the only time I managed to keep it under 100 was while doing keto for 6 months/counting macros.  Your podcast educates me enough to know I don't want to do that as my long term lifestyle choice.  I'm trying to eat a mostly plan based, gluten free, fiber fueled diet. I exercise 3 times a week and go beyond 12,000 steps daily, have my last meal at least 3 hrs before bed, take berberine and sleep well, ... so apparently I'm doing all the right things for the past 3 years and nothing seems to help me lower that number. I also struggle with weight loss.  My endocrinologist said nothing could be done right now, but to wait a few years until I actually did become diabetic and then I could get a prescription that could help me manage it.  I don't want to follow that advice. I want to continue trying to find the root cause and stop it from becoming diabetes, since it runs in my family. I don't know where to look next.  thank you for giving us this space. Sarah: I’ve noticed that when I eat a lot of processed foods & sugar, not only do I get the immediate bloating and puffiness the next day, but when I keep that up for several consecutive days, the areas around my genitals, anus and left armpit gets itchy and I get little bumps which might be hives. My affected armpit gets a distinct yeasty smell and stops emitting regular body odor. I’m aware this has something to do with Candida overgrowth, but can you tell me why I get itchy in those specific areas? It’s like my tell tale sign that I’ve overdone it and need to get back on track with healthy eating. I just want to understand why this happens. Thank you!

1926: Sluggish Bowels, Low HRV, Toxicity Test, Skin Tags, Mystery Fatigue, Low Amino Acids (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Nate: Hi Dr. Cabral, I just completed the intestinal cleanse during my CBO protocol, and despite using up to 5 capsules each time by day 2, and doing the whole cleanse for 5 days as per the instructions and plenty of hydration and exercise, I never had more than one bowel movement a day (which is what I was having before the cleanse). The only change was that stools were darker because of the black powder. This response does not seem normal - what can explain it? Does this means I technically did not cleanse the die-off enough? Should I have continued for more days? Any help is much appreciated! Thank you for all you do! Nate Janie: Hello Dr. Cabral, I’m writing in because I am concerned about my HRV. I started wearing a Fitbit a year ago because I was interested in the cardiovascular tracking technology as I have a family history of strokes & cardiovascular problems. I am a 49 year old women, always remained active throughout my life & never struggled with weight gain or fluctuations. I exercise regularly (I powerwalk around 5 miles a day, my steps are often between 15-20k on my tracker), I eat exceptionally well (tons of veggies in my diet), I drink a little coffee and wine but nothing excessive, I have a good home life with low stress but my HRV is in a range between 14-20 & usually on the lower side. Everything that I read says I am way lower than optimal but I do all of the things that it says to do to optimize? I am concerned bc I have read that this can be a warning sign of strokes. Should I talk to a doctor about screening tests or is there anything you would suggest I do to improve my HRV? MacKenzie: Will the environmental toxicity test show if my saline breast implants are causing me to be sick? If so what do I look for on the test to show me that? Sam: What causes skin tags and are there any natural ways to get rid of them? It seems like I get a couple new ones each year. They are very small but can be annoying. Kelsey: I have gilberts syndrome so it’s hard to tell what my fatigue is coming from. I don’t love the idea of having silicone in my body but have extremely uneven breasts so I am scared to get them removed. Are there any tests to test for silicone? Will the environmental toxicity test show me anything? Kenzie: My OAT showed I am deficient in amino acids. What would you suggest? Saw that amino acids or bcaas can cause cancer Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1926 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

1920: Cholecalciferol, Cavities, Anti-Viral Mushroom, Near Death Experience, Stuttering, Black Mold (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Kazz: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you so much for sharing with us all your health knowledge, it is so appreciated! I have a question regarding vitamin D3 and the ingredient you use, specifically cholecalciferol. I searched on your podcasts for information regarding this and couldn't find.. I have heard, and my own follow-up research results show, that this ingredient is also used in rat poison and there seem to be some adverse effects from it in humans where they have similar symptoms as rats when poisoned by this. I'm sure you have some information on this and I'd love to hear more about it from your perspective, maybe even a whole podcast on it if you feel there is much info and people would benefit from hearing it. There is not too much discussion on this online that I can see and maybe your balanced perspective on cholecalciferol would benefit people when they are researching it. I'd love a juicy discussion about it from you if it is worthy of one, and why you think it is a good thing for us to take when it is an ingredient in rat poison. I do understand that most of us are deficient in vit d and supplementing benefits us, but why cholecalciferol when it seems to be used in rat poison? And then, what about the symptoms some people experience when taking it? Jenna: Hey Dr. Cabral! You and your team have helped me so much over the past 4 years with digestive distress and acne troubles, and I am so greatful for all that you do! I was wondering if you had any podcasts that go into depth on cavities? I went to the dentist in December and had to get 5 cavities filled, and I feel like I already have another one 4 months later. I eat well, limit my coffee intake to 2 cups a day maximum (yes I know I can still do better here), and exercise daily. I breathe through my nose normally, but in times of stress (my day job gets very stressful) and during hard workouts, I breathe through my mouth. Could this cause cavity formations? I never used to get cavities as a child, and got my first one at 18 years old. I’d love to get your take! Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral! I'm wondering if you have any new research or updated information about the AHCC supplement? Almost a year ago on one of your Friday Review podcasts, you had briefly mentioned this supplement and specifically related it to HPV but said that you couldn't say much more about it. I recently had an abnormal pap test with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance with a positive test for other HR-HPV (not 16 or 18). This is the reason I have been interested in the research on AHCC. My next question is do you know of a good, high quality AHCC supplement that I could purchase? Thank you for everything you do and sharing your knowledge. I listen to your podcast pretty much everyday! I look forward to your response. Thanks again! Stephanie Victor: After a near death accident in 1994, I have not aged one day. Peopke can't believe when they see pictures of 30 years ago and even my primary doctor has said so. Can you explain? Hayley: Hi Dr Cabral, hoping you can offer some suggestions. Stuttering in children... I have an 8 year old son who has suffered with stuttering off and on over the years however had gotten worse and has been very persistent over the past 2 or so years now. He’s been seeing a speech therapist for a while now who offers techniques but it’s not really helping. A couple years ago we did the gut rebuilding protocol and a food sensitivity test. Nothing had seemed to shift it although I have read that increasing B1 and some amino acids may help. He regularly has DNS, we are mostly plant based and gf. I give additional zinc, c, b12 and iron when I suspect these are on the low side. Being in Australia I can no longer afford postage and the cost of further testing, do you know of anything else we could try? Thanks so much Meredith: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am so grateful for your work and it’s helped me so much. My questions is about my 7 year old son- from age 3-4.5 we lived in a home with black mold- I have tested positive and have been working the CBO and mold protocol myself. My son sneezes constantly, especially in the am- also struggles with paying attention in school and listening/complying with us. I am sure we have gotten out of the mold house, and I’ve had our current house tested. He tested allergic to mold and dust at the doctor, but I’ve not done a urine test for him. I want to help him and get rid of his symptoms. Assuming he does have mold, is there a kid protocol that is safe? Thanks so much- your advice is greatly appreciated!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1920 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1919: Oil Digestive Issues, Constant Swallowing, Allergy Shots, Yeast Protocol While Pregnant, Varicose Veins & Circulation (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Ryan: Dr Cabral, I have had GI issues with taking supplemental oils (primarily CLA and, most of all, fish oil). Is there any way to circumvent this? Background: though I’ve always struggled with fish oil, I have had my gal bladder removed fairly recently. My digestion did not take a tut. For the worst, though the surgeon prepared me and warned me for such. I basically haven’t noticed it being gone and have been on high fat diets with no issues, but I still figured the whole “not having a gall bladder” was pertinent info for you. Lee-anne: Hi Dr Cabral, I wanted to tap into your knowledge about something that Iv noticed in myself. I have a feeling of fullness in my throat, like I always need to swallow. There isn't anything visible to note and I can't think of anything that makes it worse or better and there doesn't seem to be a time of day that affects it either. Do you have any ideas? Thank you again for your time and your work, I really appreciate all that you do. Pam: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been getting immunotherapy shots for my seasonal allergies for 2 years. My allergy doctor feels that they are the only way to reduce my medication intake and build immunity against my highest allergens. As I listen to your podcasts and lean about toxins, I am wondering if I am just adding toxins to my body with every shot. I received results from the mycotoxin testing with high markers in the multiple mold species category. I am currently finishing the CBO protocol and will be starting the mold protocol along with the CBO finisher. Do the benefits of immunotherapy outweigh the risks? Is it possible that my allergy to mold will be eliminated by the mold protocol? (I'm not really clear on how they are connected) Thanks so much for your time! I have learned so much from you and look forward to future podcasts! Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral! Do you know of any safe and effective ways to treat yeast overgrowth while pregnant?  Haley: Hi Dr. Cabral! My questions today are about varicose veins and general circulation. I was wondering what the actual imbalance(s) were that would cause varicose/spider veins and general circulation issues like I seem to be happening. Also, do you have any recommendations on supplements, protocols, devices, or services (acupuncture, massage, etc.) that could help with varicose veins? Last question. The muscles in my lower legs/ankles are used a lot throughout the day, and my calves run pretty tight; is it possible for tight muscles (especially in the lower leg) to compress my veins to the point of poor circulation and being one, if not the cause, for my varicose veins? Some background: I’m 31 and a professional dancer/teacher. Between work and spending time in nature with my dogs, I average 15-20,000 steps a day. Most of my work comes from tap dancing which involves a lot of downward force and lower-leg-muscle usage. I average 12-15 hours of tap dancing per week. I’ve noticed the varicose veins (and some spider veins) on my lower legs getting more prominent. I do experience some fatigue and heat in my lower legs when on my feet for an extended time. My fingers and toes usually run pretty cold, but they are also “clammy” a lot of the time, even when my body is warm. Thank you!

1913: PMS Flu, Citrus Sensitivity, Chronic Eczema, Hormone Eczema, Natural Skin Tag Remedy, Carrageenan Warning (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Deanna: Hello - thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us all! I always look forward to your daily podcasts. Over the past 6+ months the week prior to my cycle I get flu-like symptoms. My bones ache and I am tired all the time. I'll sometimes even run a low-grade fever. I was tested for COVID several times to rule that out. What else could be causing this? My functional medicine doctor has me running a DUTCH test and also put me on DIM. I'm just curious to get another viewpoint. Thank you again! Kelly: Good Day Dr. Cabral!!! Hope all is well in your world and sending some Sunshine from down under. :) I recently had a IGg Sensitivity test come back and grapefruit, lemons, limes and most citrus along with many others showed up. With regards to whole food electrolytes, lemons and limes (in water) are out of the equation for now, would you recommend sparkling mineral water (which tends to make me bloat and burp) as an alternative or would you recommend something else. Same with the cirtricidal drops during the CBO protocol, would you leave these out during the protocol or does the benefit outweigh the sensitivity. THANKS A MILLION FOR BEING YOU.. One of a kind and grateful to have a human like you to inspire us . Kelly: Hello there, Quick moment to stop and say thanks!! ….. Now into my question. I've been working through the process of chronic eczema. bloating and all that jazz. I gone through the CBO Protocol, which saw some success( aside from horrible die off symptoms throughout), however shortly after the Protocol had a server staph infection that persisted for months and went on antibiotics. At present my skin in mostly clear, bloating after ever meal has continued ect. I have one stubborn spot above my upper lip under my nose that doesn't seem to clam down and I was wondering if it could be a sign of something else. Do you give credibility to facial mapping and perhaps is it being a sign of an issue somewhere else in the body, for example the heart/spleen. If so would you recommended diving deeper into healing or testing the function of those organs. Many thanks as always Have a wonderful day ;P I'm trying to complete the OAT test, however logistics, covid and weather have made is hard to get the sample there in time. I will wait for spring and try to send my test again. Kelly: Hello Dr. Carbal, Hope you a well and happy where you might be at this present moment. My question is about eczema flare up before my period. The week before i begin bleeding my skin tends to worsen, flares up and increased itch. Could it be possible that progesterone levels become to high, causing this flare up and is there a case where female can experience progesterone dominance instead of estragon dominance. Not sure if it works the same way, still learning this in the IHP course. How would one approach high progesterone with regards to lifestyle and supplementation. Of course I do not expect a diagnosis or treatment plan, merely your advice if you were a female in my shoes :P Jokes Have a wonderful Day Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you for taking these questions, the podcast is super helpful and I really appreciate the work you're doing. I have a growing number of skin tags, moles and seborrheic keratosis. Im 37, female and wondered what is going on with this? Iv seen a dermatologist who assured me there's nothing to worry about but I want to understand what the cause is. Thank you Valeria: I see you have no podcast on kappa carageenan and agar agar, 2 ingredients highly used in the vegan/vegetarian world that's of growing pace. I ask because both ingredients have conflicting answers within the research world. Is it fine for us to cook and eat with?

1912: Adult Pimples, Poor Children’s Diet, Failing Memory, Low Thyroid During Pregnancy, EMF Detector, Indigestion Causes (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for sharing your knowledge and being the light that you are. I have a question about pimples. I often get them on my thighs and very occasionally 1 or 2 on my belly and face. I'm a 40 year old female, vata type, healthy weight, feel well, sleep well. Any thoughts? Leanne: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm new to the show after a chance finding and now half way through The Rain Barrel Effect, I know it's going to benefit the whole family so thank you for the work that you're doing! I want to ask a question about my 4 year old daughter. Born overdue by emergency c section, she's had a tough time from the start. Took a long long time for her to breastfeed properly, multiple food allergies when weaning, did not sleep well for the 1st 2 years and now has frequent night wakings, she still has like a cradle cap crust on her scalp which I assume is yeast related, her diet is terrible as she has a genuine aversion to try anything that's not beige, its a struggle. We're also waiting to see a geneticist as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome has been mentioned. Can you give any wisdom on any of the above?! Jeremy: Hi!! I absolutely llhave loved your podcasts! I am worried about my motber and father, both have just turbed 60.. My dad has been eating preservatives and packaged foods for a long time and see.s to think he is unbreakable.. I've finally motivated him and put him on a personal meal plan. He is dominantly Kapha, He is actually taking gym classes now and working out very hard, my question is.. can it be too hard for his heart to handle right now considering he has severe gout and constant inflammation (going down since on the plan) And I want to know what are the best tests to check he is not in danger of a heart attack and also knowing what I can do about it right now. Secondly, my mother. She's always tried to be healthy, she is actually in a state where she struggles to lose weight with any plan I give her as her metabolosm adapted to her extremely restricted and over exercising diet plans She is a person who see's extreme emotion of stress quite often and will not budge with listening on stress management strategies, and with that in mind.. I'm also worried about her heart health.. her memoty in the last 5/10 years has become more and more forgetfu.. I've been begging her to take Omega 3's she also suffers with chronic heart burn.. Meghan: Hey Dr Cabral, I have a tendency for low thyroid and have recently fallen pregnant. I believe I heard it correct that you are not an advocate for people taking thyroid support while pregnant? Would you just encourage thyroid lifestyle improvements like your thyroid smoothie daily and all the things you talk about in the health results accelerator to try and maintain good thyroid health without actually supplementing? Are there risks if I was to supplement with something similar to your daily thyroid support? Thanks for always being an incredible resource and for everything you put out into the world. You are spectacular! Sacha: Hi there! I love your show and had a question about EMF's. I recently moved to Austin Texas and looking to buy an apt close to an "inactive" power plant. I want to protect myself/family from EMF's and was wondering if there is a specific EMF detector device or services you recommend? as well as any products to use in the home to protect ourselves. I know of the defender shield and to turn off wifi/airplane mode etc but I'm interested in specific home product recommendations. Thank you again for all of your help !! Jim: Hi Dr. Cabral - I had COVID in November 2020. Now, several months later (starting in Feb 2021), I'm having GI issues. It feels like indigestion and mild stomach pain that comes and goes. My primary doc put me on Pepsid but I want to address the root cause. What could be causing this and how can I heal my gut issues? In terms of diet, I'm on a primarily plant-based diet and have been for nearly a decade. I don't eat meat. I occasionally eat salmon, eggs and dairy (couple times per week). My main protein sources are legumes and soy. I tend to like acidic foods like coffee, citrus and tomato based foods. In fact, coffee seems to trigger this indigestion so I'm down to one cup per day (from two). I've been making a point of trying to eat a salad or smoothie each day and I'm making more of an effort to eat fermented foods. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

1906: Cat’s Claw, Atypical Hyperplasia, Candida Parapsilosis, Is Exercise Is Overrated, Sex Effects Hormones, Mucusless Diet (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Monique: Hi Dr. Cabral, I discovered you after listening to a podcast where Melissa Ambrosini interviewed you and it’s changed my life so much. So thank you for all that you do! I have a question about a Herb Tea I found in a store called Cat’s Claw (Uncaria Tomentosa). On the back of the packet it states:  “Cat’s Claw is an immune stimulant, rich in proanthocyandin, a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger. This combined with it’s white blood cell increasing effect, makes it effective in the treatment of cancer. It cleanses the intestinal tract, assisting with Crohn’s disease, arthritis, hemorrhoids, parasites, leaky bowel syndrome, ulcers, gastritis, allergic disorders, diverticulitis and other gastro-in-test I also disorders. Also helpful for chemotherapy recovery.” It states to simmer 1 teaspoon in 1 cup of water for 10 minutes , take 3 times a day.  I’m wondering if you have heard of it and if so what your views are? Thanks for your time! Kelly: Hello Dr. Cabral. I was diagnosed with atypia hyperplasia in one of my breast 8 months ago. I had the area surgical removed and no cancer was detected. I am now taking Tamoxifen (20 mg) daily to reduce the risk of breast cancer. I am working with a Naturopath who works specifically with people who have cancer or who are at risk of cancer. He has me on a protocol that includes 20 mg of Melatonin. I had to work up to that amount over a period of a few weeks but now I am fine with it. My question though is I have noticed my morning blood sugar level is higher than what my levels typically are. I used to wake with a blood glucose level between 75 and 85. Now it is typically between 95 and 105. I eat a mostly paleo diet, exercise 6 days week, and keep myself very hydrated. So my question is, can that much melatonin have an impact on my blood sugar levels? Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral! I recently took the 3-day stool test. My results came back with a 1+ level of Candida Parapsilosis. Is this treated the same way that other types of Candida are treated? I'd love to hear from you regarding what causes this and how to treat it. Thank you SO much for your time and expertise - we're all getting a little smarter because of you. Laura Tom: Hi Dr Cabral, first of all, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the community! So, everyone knows that they must exercise and that there are a lot of benefits for it. But why SHOULD you exercise? If you're healthy, happy, weight is good, you're fit... why should exercise still be a must? Christina: Hi doctor Cabral! I hope you’re doing great! There’s this weird health question that’s been on my mind, and I figured that if anyone would know the answer, it would be you. So, I’m a 40 yo female and have been celibate for over 4 years. When I was in a relationship, my periods were normal and regular. After my relationship ended, not so much anymore. One month they are 29 days, the other 42, and so on. Can it be that the fact that I’m not having sex anymore is influencing my hormones and making my periods irregular? I know it’s a weird question, but I have a gut feeling that could be it. I’m super curious to hear your thoughts about it. Thanks a million! Christina Dar: Hi love the show big fan. Have a two part question. Do you know anyone that's gone on a mucusless diet based on Arnold Ehret's results and if so how did they feel? The guy ate leafy greens and fruits exclusively and was able to hike up mountains while fasting, walk 56 hours consecutively and bike I believe something like 1000 kilometers at one time which for a non athlete is mind blowing. Also how long do you think it would take the average person to clean their bowels on a juice fast I'm on day 8 and surprisingly had a bowel movement. Ate the sad diet up until the last few years. Now going more plant based. Thanks!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1906 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1905: Wild Yam Progesterone, Peanut Allergy, Chronic Hives, Fasting Back-Fired, Betaine & Methylation, Sugar & the Gut (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Megan: Hi Dr C, love your work! I’m writing in to try and better understand in your own experience wild yam and the benefits to someone with low progesterone. There seems to be a lot of warnings out there about using it but keen to better understand from a research perspective how it actually helps to boost progesterone when it seems to be the common understanding that it doesn’t actually appear to be able to convert the diosgenin outside of a lab. Are there any issues with this raising estrogen and dhea further for people with elevated levels of those. Could this be beneficial for fertility to help supercharge the cervical mucous and potentially increase chance of the embryo ‘sticking’. Keen to hear why you are now using it in one of your new products and when to use it. If so can the wild yam cream be just as affective? Thanks so much Chelsea: My 6 month old son has been diagnosed with a peanut allergy. I’ve listened to your previous podcasts where you recommend running an organic acid test and a stool test to see if there is any candida / leaky gut. I’m wondering if this allergy could have anything to do with heavy metals (potentially from vaccines) and if i should run a test for that? Also I just found out that our home has mold, so we are moving right away to hopefully solve that problem. Do you have protocols for babies this young? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all you do. Alida: Hi Stephen, I've been struggling with chronic hives for almost a year and nobody can help me find the root cause of it to make it stop. All the doctors do is give me pills and creams to cover up what is going on. They aren't helping anyway. To give you a little background, I'm a 42 year old female, overweight, had a full hysterectomy 4 years ago, have had acid reflux since I was 20 and been taking omprazole for 22 years, 2 years ago they found a tumor on my pituitary gland which is causing adrenal insufficiency (I'm on 5mg of Prednisone for this) and I have sleep apnea. Among all these, the hives is definitely the worst to deal with. Of course I still want to make everything better, but the constant hives and itching is extremely bothersome. I've tried a couple different diets with no success. I'm hoping you are able to help please. Marty: I’ve been doing the intermittent fasting for 4 weeks, 16/8. I've gained 4 pounds. Help! Sam: Hi, Dr. Cabral! I’m wondering if you know anything about Betaine (trimethylglycine)supplementation and methylation. I read about it in a MTHFR group I’m in but haven’t found much info on it. My second question is regarding high blood pressure and hormones. What is the connection, if any? I have had issues with anxiety and high blood pressure despite being thin and eating clean since having my son two years ago.I have not had my hormones tested but recently did Organic Acids and HTMA tests and it was recommended that I test hormones as well. Thanks so much! Lily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering if there’s a connection between high blood glucose and the gut health? Does one influence the other? I’m asking because I’ve been wearing CGM for a few weeks and it shows that a lot of foods that I’m currently eating are raising my blood sugar - way above the normal. I also have a history of gut issues (imbalanced gut flora), so I was wondering if there’s connection between the two. Thanks so much in advance for your answer, I appreciate you and all that you do!

1899: Cold Drinks, Surgery & Yeast Overgrowth, Konjac Noodles, Low WBC, Boosting Natural Immunity, Sneezing & Food Sensitivities (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Lisa: We have been trying to have a second baby for 4 years and haven’t been successful so i started to see an acupuncturist. She told me that drinking cold shakes is not good for my body since it takes a lot of energy to digest and it can cause cold uterus. I have been drinking your shakes daily because it has an abundance of nutrients. What is your thoughts on this? Should I stop drinking the shakes ? can drinking shakes really cause Infertility? Samantha: My question is about oral surgery and supplements/protocols. I am about to start the CBO protocol followed by a heavy metals detox per my lab results. My IHP also recommended many supplements that I just began taking. I have to be put under general anesthesia to remove all 4 wisdom teeth soon. Will pausing the protocol and supplements for the week of the surgery make it less effective at eliminating the yeast overgrowth? Also, what are your thoughts on continuing the DNS and additional supplements (cal-mag, balanced zinc, Vit c, etc) while taking pain medication? Paula: Hi Doc! What’s your opinion on konjac noodles? Apparently is made out of Japanese Konjac yam and it’s extremely low in kcal... Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to the podcast & enjoy following along on instagram. Thank you for all of your time, energy, sincere passion & knowledge. You are giving so much hope.. my question ill try to sum it up.. ive had low wbc for like 5 years or so now or so i have found out. My dr. Also keeps mentioning high cholesterol but not due to diet? I try to lead a health lifestyle however I am on the anxious side, always have been. I enjoy running & do other workouts. I also try to be conscious of eating healthy however fall under perfection for sure ! My primary dr was concerned sent me to a hematologist. i dont notice any symptoms of it so i dont think such as getting sick more often or not healing .. The hematologist says it could be benign ethnic neutropenia. Or he mentioned another benign cause that he says he sees often. im concerned im overlooking something. I just started taking the DNS & the healthy gut support. I do take birth control unfortunately, something im not proud of. What advice (or hope) can you give ? How can I be sure Im nutritionally/supplementally (is that even word?) doing all i can? :) thanks a million times dr cabral, take care - Deanna: hi Dr. Cabral, I am wondering what your thoughts are on protecting yourself if you decide to get the vaccine. It goes against what I believe, but feel I may not have a choice if I want to continue my work or travel. Holding off as long as I can. I am a yoga teacher who works with older adults and may need it for work. I take your recommended protocol - vitamin D, zinc, quercetin, etc. Also, I feel increasingly alienated from my friends, family and colleagues due to my resistance against getting the vaccine. Every time someone shouts a hurray, I got my vaccine, it is hard not to cringe. People are starting to act like I am losing my mind for my beliefs. Please help.

1898: Vatas & Raw Foods, Indoor Air Quality, Reflux with Meals, Differences Between Doctors, Supplement Labels, Squiggly Things in Urine (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Lynn: If I am a Vata should I be limiting my raw food, for instance salads (my favorite food) and eat mostly cooked foods? Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a question on internal air quality. The floor of my office building is about to be refurbished including new carpets, paint and furniture. Being a multi-storey office building without openable windows, I was already concerned about the indoor air quality, however this will no doubt make things much worse. Apart from spending as little time indoors as possible, is there any thing else I can do to minimise the health impacts (such as supplements or practices)? Many thanks! Sarah: Dear Dr. Cabral, After my stool test showed bacterial overgrowth, I am on week 3 of the CBO with the citricidal drops, and started having heart burn for the first time. I never had this before - my main symptoms before were severe bloating and gas, but not heart burn. Now, for the last two weeks I've had this reflux either before a meal or after. I've been following the CBO protocol diet strictly, with the enzymes. Can you help me understand why this new symptom has developed - is it normal for this to happen on the CBO, is it die-off, or is it related to stomach acid? Will it get better after more weeks or do you recommend I do anything specific to address it? Thank you for all your help. Bob: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have been listening to you for about a year and enjoy the daily information that you have been given. I look forward to listening each day and appreciate your passion to help bring us the truth and best for us and our families I live in Vietnam currently (an American working as an ex-pat) I want to find someone over here I can work with. I have looked up Functional medicine doctors and Aryvaic Doctors and Doctors of naturopathy but I still get a little confused on the difference and which one is the best to work with. I don't have any big issues that I am aware of and my overall health is ok but needs to lose a little weight. My goal is to improve my health and live longer and be able to live life to the fullest with plenty of energy and loof and feel great. Based on listing to you would recommend starting with some tests and agree but what type of doctor or doctors should I be reaching out to help in my goals Afra: Hi Dr. Cabral, Listen to you regularly and I hear you all the time say there is no pressure to you the equil.LIfe brands but you if you don't we should be looking out or making sure that what we purchase has no something or make sure it has plenty of something else in that brand. Do you have this information relating to this all in one place that I can use as a reference when deciding to purchase as I live overseas and and hard to get in-country and I want to check locally but ensure it is doing the job. I do understand that your products are better and as I make trips to the US I can try to stock up as well. Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I wrote in earlier this year about having squiggly things in my urine and you answered it for a male related to the prostate but I am actually a 30 year old female and so curious what these are a reflection of. Given the unusual nature of them It is difficult to try and research when I don’t know what it even is. Can you give any insight as to why I would be getting white squiggle things in my urine that look more structured than just discharge as they are very clearly little squiggles. Thanks!

1892: Nausea During Pregnancy, Cold Sores, Wearable Technology, Sun Allergy, Sauna & Binders, Rosemary & Mold Detox (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral, What do you suggest to help with nausea during pregnancy? Is there something you should be doing pre conception to prevent or reduce nausea while pregnant? Also is there a link to histamine intolerance and nausea during pregnancy? And if so what can be done for this? As I am someone who already has histmaine intolerance and am currently doing all I can to heal my gut etc. Am I more likely to have nausea during pregnancy for this reason? Many thanks  Joanna Anonymous: I can't explain to you how beneficial it is to have a resource where I can ask questions and know that I'll receive a thorough, accurate, and unbiased opinion. Thank you (and your staff) so much for providing this! In the last 6 months, I've had two outbreaks of cold sores that appeared in the same location on my upper lip. It has been approximately 4 months since the last episode but the skin on this area of my lip continues to feel rough and often sloughs and peels. Additionally, I sometimes wake up in the morning with this part of my lip looking and feeling slightly swollen. I am an otherwise healthy 48-year old woman who eats a primarily whole foods diet, exercises regularly, and feels great. It just seems odd to me that this is happening and I'd love to figure out a solution. Thanks SO much! Ryan: How do you see health coaching in the future? And the future of PCPs? With the exponential rate of growth of technology, I can only imagine devices like the Oura ring, and CGMs, will quickly advance to be able to measure all sorts of physiological functions, toxicities and deficiencies. Combine that with advancements in the internet and the "internet of things" that is coming with 5G and is only going to continue to expand... do you foresee the possibilty of a simple wearable or implant being able to monitor hormones, vitamins, minerals, metals, etc and immediately act on that data by automatically ordering what you need, or even providing relief itself? Where does the doctor or the health practitioner become irrelevant in some aspects? Ryan: I have a friend who breaks out in a rash from sunlight exposure. I couldn't find anything from searching past podcasts. She says all she has found to prevent it is covering up in sunblock. It hasn't always been the case, but has been for a significant portion of her life. Could it be a histamine issue? Look forward to your input. Cheers. Lynn: When doing a sauna, what supplemental support do you recommend, i.e. binders, electrolytes, Vit. C? Also, are there still benefits if one doesn’t sweat very much. Marco: Hey Doc! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer our community's questions, really appreciate it! Is there a reason as to why you use the product perimine in your mold detox protocol rather than just regular Omega-3s? I saw that the primine product is basically perilla seed extract and this is one of the richest sources of ALA based on my research. Given that ALA is an omega-3 fatty acid, I was just curious why you included this instead of the Equi.life Omega-3?

I recently started seeing a biological dentist and he did a cone beam scan after we discussed my health and found I have 4 cavitations where my wisdom teeth would have been- I never had wisdom teeth and he said this is where the follicles were that didn’t develop for whatever reason (usually nutrient deficiencies as a child). My mouth is otherwise very healthy. I’m scheduled to have the procedure to clean them out and begin to heal my bone on 6/15. I’m currently on week 6 of the CBO protocol and I’m going right into the mold protocol after as I presently have SIBO and Mold Toxicity. I’m wondering if it would be better to schedule it before the mold protocol or keep it set to after I’m finished everything? I know you can’t give medical advice but I’m asking for your professional opinion for what you’d do. Any insight is greatly appreciated! Thank you! Ben: Hi Dr Cabral, Huge fan, I listen daily for years now. Thanks for all you do. I have a question. I've repeatedly noticed if I drink any kind of herbal tea, including ginger and peppermint in the daytime, I sleep poorly that night. I will wake up in the middle of the night and be up for an hour or two. None of these teas have caffeine at all. I’ve also noticed the same thing when I take more than 5000 IU of Vitamin D. Have you heard of herbal tea or too much vitamin D keeping people awake? I'm especially curious about the non-caffeine herbal tea. It's so confusing. Many thanks! Ben Patrick: Hey dr cabal hope all is well . I’m thinking of switching gyms for now since all the saunas are closed still ,the gym I’m thinking of joining has a stand up red light therapy booth I heard your podcast a few weeks ago saying your all for red light therapy but could standing in a booth be to much. Thanks and keep up the great work. Terri: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have followed your work for over 5 years and am currently studying to receive my IHP level 2. There are no words to express my gratitude for the impact you've made in my life! I recently ran the hormone and stress test. My estrogen, progesterone, and DHEA levels were all in the low range but my testosterone was higher (49). I'm 49 yrs. old, relatively fit, close to ideal body weight, have good energy and overall health. I just started supplementing with Vitex. I would like to add DHEA but am concerned about the high level of testosterone. Why would my testosterone be high when all other hormones are low? Thank you in advance for your time! Terri Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral Dealing (struggling) with CIU for 6 months now, cannot accept "idiopathic" as an answer...there has to be a root! Delayed Pressure Hives, Exercise Induced Hives, random hives even while sleeping, also flushing of one ear and cheek, and angioedema (eyelids). All bloodwork looks great: hemogram good, all allergy IGE absent, normal results for: WBC, differential, AST, Thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin antibody, ALT, Alkaline Phosphatase, C-reactive protein, Sed Rate, No Heb B or C, Magnesium, no lyme, etc. I normally eat a healthy diet but lots of the foods are high histamine (tomatoes, avocados), so I even tried a low histamine diet (torture) for a few weeks with zero impact. I asked my doc if there would be any gut issues that I may need to resolve but she did not think so. I added camu powder, B vitamins, D3, and a low histamine probiotic to my diet a few days ago to see if there are any benefits, we shall see! I would be so grateful for any ideas you may have! This is impacting my quality of life and I am nervous to go to work now b/c it is so embarrassing. Thank you so much for all the good that you do in the world, and all the help that you provide people! Sarah Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. I discovered your podcasts through an online nutrition and fitness program that I joined which you happen to be on the board of. I am having great success with my fat loss, energy level, and sleep. Your daily podcasts have been a part of my morning routine and self care for at least 5 months now, so thank you for being so great. Sometimes, I have to admit, you are a little above my head with some of the terminology and science, but for the most part I have learned so much information that has helped me make even better health choices for myself and my family. I recently purchased some supplements from your website in order to reach the minimum amount required to receive a free lab. I was so excited to begin investing in labs because that is something I haven't done before. I just want to be as healthy as possible at this point in my life. I was so disappointed to receive an email informing me that you do not ship to my state. What is the reason for this and do you foresee this ever changing?

1885: Omegas & Kids, Menopausal Imbalances, Personality Disorder, MARCoNS, Autism Prognosis (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral, I’m a big fan. Thank you for all you do. My daughter is 6 and seems to find it difficult to articulate what she needs to say and even though we constantly correct her, she often pronounces words wrong. I do not see that any of her peers have the same problem. I thought giving her DHA may help, I just struggle to give it to her as she dislikes the taste, even the lemon one. I even tried to sneak it in apple juice but I got found out. What are your thoughts on DHA and would you have any other suggestions on what we could do to improve things? I really appreciate your time, thank you very much. Sarah Cass: Hi Dr C, i cant thank you enough for all you do, teach and be......WE are all truly blessed A very deep heart felt Thank you. .....Could you please recommend what advise you would offer to a 51 year old menopausal women. No cycle for 2 years. Has had high levels of deep emotional stress for 2 years. Is coming out the other side. Thank goodness!! Suffered chronic fatigue in past from high levels of stress/loss/trauma and over training / under eating scenarios when younger. Anyway been suffering with gut issues bloating gas etc, for long time. Completed Oat / HTMA / food Sensitivity and omega 3 .....High on candida / bacteria markers / Succinic...HIgh aluminium and mercury Very High cal / mag / sodium and low potassium chromium and selenium and phosphorus and very low iron. A slow metaboliser. Completed heavy metal detox , 2 x parasite protocols (one advanced) and CBO with limited finisher as felt very bloated on the healthy gut support. Retested and candida reduced but still high bacterial markers. Also still showing parasites present. (Blastocytes and now cryptosporidium) Take FP level 3, B's, Zinc, A.soothe, Calm, Cal-Mag, Alk Vit C. Still suffers constipation, slow bowel movement, fatigue, bloated, gut better but not great, Clean diet, exercise, meditation, etc, daily.  Anonymous: I was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder which I know is not your specialty but I was wondering if you had any advice on the subject. I am already working with a therapist and things like that but would like to know if you have any supplement or lifestyle recommendations that might be helpful in addition to what I'm already doing. Thank you so much. Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've got a question about MARCoNS. I've had three positive tests in the past two years. I've tried different treatments and I haven't found something yet that has helped me eradicate it yet. I just saw a new functional medicine doctor recently about this - she suggested that I try using a nebulizer to inhale a solution of diluted hydrogen peroxide, saline and iodine - she said it can help rid the body of MRSA so it was likely to help with MARCoNS. Do you have any thoughts on this treatment she's suggesting? And...do you happen to know of something that actually works to help the body heal from this? Thank you so much for your time and care!

1884: IUD Removal, Detox Myth, Constipation Struggle, Toxic Sweat, Sunlight Allergy, Glutamine Dosing, Decaf Coffee Safety (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Samantha: Hello, and thank you for all you do, I'm excited to thank you for these answers on spotify!  I'm an active health concious 30 year old mother of 3. Currently on week 3 of CBO protocol after taking OAT (mild bacterial imbalances). My last 2 pregnancies I've had prematurely ruptured membranes and been on bed rest...therefore, I've been on the pill then an IUD for the last 6 years. My IUD is due to be removed in September of 2021...my 3 questions are these:  -What are the top things I can do to support my body and hormones for the IUD removal?  -any idea what could cause pre ruptured membranes and how I could avoid it next time? (My docs had no idea)  -lastly, I also hope to go off the 50mg of sertraline I've been taking the last 3 years after the CBO finisher....how can I support my mood during that weaning process? (I've searched and listened to podcasts on these topics) Thanks in advanve! Lexi: I have been researching on detoxing for weeks now. There is so much information on both sides. Some say yes, some say you don’t need it. Much of my research has found that we don’t need to detox because our organs naturally excrete our bodies of toxins. If you would please give me a non-biased explanation of detoxing, I would appreciate that. Please help me to understand why and if detoxing is truly needed or if it a fad. Missey: Hi Dr Cabral, I’ve benefitted for years from your information and supplements. So thank you!  I’m hoping you can help with my constant struggle with constipation. I’ve tried so many things such as intestinal cleanses, oxy powder, magnesium, enemas, lemon water etc. I’ve also removed dairy from my diet. Constipation has always been an issue, but it seems to be getting worse as I age. GI docs all day the same thing: drink water, add fiber and exercise, all of which I already do.  I was wondering if you had any thoughts/advice for me and specifically what are your thoughts on Colon Hydrotherapy? Jenna: I heard someone say that the toxins that your body sweats out during a workout are just re-absorbed back into the skin if you don't immediately shower afterward. Do you think this is true? Bevinda: Hi Dr Cabral! I have two questions that I hope you don't mind answering: Have you ever heard of allergy to sunlight? Is it safe to take 5g of glutamine on a daily basis? Andrea: Hi Dr Cabral, what are your thoughts on organic decaff coffee?

1878: Fat Limit, Canker Sores, High Testosterone In Women, Celtic Sea Salt, Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, Histamine Barrel (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Ryan: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been using olive oil as my main fat source for a few months now and from what I can tell it’s been going great. I am a 30 year old competitive bodybuilder currently in my off season so my calories are high. I am 6’ and currently weigh 230. I track my macros every day and usually end up with around 4500 calories. My fat intake is higher than most bodybuilders do which is around 150 grams a day. My carbs are usually around 450 and protein is around 275. My friend and roommate just died at 26 of what looks like a heart attack and he was a big body builder as well. This has opened my eyes a lot and I want to do things as healthy as I can. My body seems to be handling the quantity of olive oil but I just want to be sure. If I had to guess it is around 10 table spoons spread out the day. Thank you for your time and I love this podcast! Stephanie: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am writing in about my 12-year-old son who frequently gets canker sores. I have listened to some of your past podcasts regarding canker sores and am still unsure of what to do with him. His dr has had him on 30mg of zinc and b6 daily for the past couple years bc of pyrolles disorder. I also supplement him with 2000mg of d3 daily and b12 every other day. About 2x a week I have him taking 500 mg of L-lysine and he’s still getting the canker sores. We did the OAT test and parasite test a year ago and everything looked good. Wondering what you would suggest trying next! Thanks Marlene: Hey Doc! What would your recommendations be for someone with high testosterone (no PCOS)? Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I have started drinking a large glass of water with 1/4 tsp celtic sea salt as soon as I wake up in the morning however haven't been including lemon juice for a number of reasons (including logistics and not wanting to break my fast as I don't have my shake for a few hours later to meet my 13hr fast). Is is beneficial having celtic sea salt on its own or by missing the potassium in lemon juice will I be upsetting my electrolyte balance longer term?  Maegan: Hi, Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all you do. I have learned so much and plan on continuing my education through your classes.  My question is about my 7 year old son. His gastroenterologist thinks that he might have Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. All I have found on this is that there is no known cause.  What do you know? Are there labs that I could run for him? I can’t believe it accept that there isn’t a cause or some sort of treatment for it. Thank you. Robert: Hey Dr, absolutely LOVE your work. I am trying to work on my histamine issues in various different ways. Staying away from foods high in histamines, taking my DNS, balanced zinc, Omega, vitamin D and B complex every day. I've done numerous detoxes and the CBO + the CBO finisher, etc. I've done the parasite protocol as well as the heavy metal detox. It doesn't seem like it's getting better which is very frustrating. I still react massively! I can't even have a little piece of dark chocolate or avocado without breaking out or scratching myself all night. My questions are:  1. I know you had massive histamine issues as when you were younger, how long did it take you to heal?  2. Does exercise increase histamines? Every time I workout I get more itchiness on my skin!  3. I am 23 now, when I was younger I didn't have any histamine issue whatsoever. How come I suddenly got it?

1877: Irregular Period, Child GERD, Fever Blisters, Hypopituitarism, Swollen Lymph Nodes, Hypnagogic Light Therapy, Khorasan Flour (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jo: Hello and thank you for all you do to promote health and wellness, your knowledge is greatly appreciated! My question is for my 15-year-old daughter, she has irregular, heavy periods, sometimes as often as every two weeks. On the day before and /or the first few days of her period she is in so much pain due to stomach aches and cramps, sometimes she feels like she is going to throw up, she has to miss school or soccer. My fear if we go to her regular doctor they will put her on birth control. I know birth control and hormones are not a good option especially because she is so young. I am looking for a healthier option because I hate to see her in pain. Thank you for your expertise! Anneke: Hi Stephen! Hi from Australia! My question is in relation to my 8yo son. Since the age of around 3 he has had what I would have called 'reflux' but upon doing some research it seems to be more like 'GERD' but I can't be sure. He regurgitates small amounts of food about 4-5 times a day, I haven't been able to pinpoint any particular food that causes it. He says tomatoes give him a sore tummy so we avoid those but there's nothing else that stands out. Behaviourally he is my most intense child out of 3, I do wonder if this relates to these possible gut health issues.  I took him to our family GP a few times about the vomiting and his answer was always 'he will grow out of it'. But being 8yo now I feel its time to really do some proper investigation and find the cause.  What should I do diet-wise to try and alleviate his symptoms or what kind of testing should I be chasing? Would I seek out a naturopath, nutritionist or an integrative GP (all the integrative GPs in my area have closed their books or have year long wait lists adding to my frustration).  Its getting to the point where he will vomit in class and swallow it down for fear of embarrassment. His breath smells and he's becoming self conscious about it.  Any advice is hugely appreciated.  Best, Anneke Deanna: hi, Thank you for your very informative podcast! I have a question. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been getting fever blisters on a constant basis. I have not been ill other than a few mild colds, and usually only get them when I have a fever or if I am out in prolonged hot sun. Neither of those are the case for me. I have tried using lysine, which has helped in the past, but it is not helping. I am wondering if this could be a symptom of EMF exposure? It seems like one clears up, and then a few days later I have another one. Thank you for any help you can provide! Lorena: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you so much for dedicating your time to help others, greatly appreciated! Is it possible to heal hypopituitarism caused by surgery? Ashley: I have had swollen lymph nodes in my groin area since I was a child. They’re not painful or red looking but they are larger than normal and move around easily. What is causing this? How can I fix it? Bonnie: I'm not sure I can say specific names on questions- butI just purchased a (Lucia NO3) Light source- can you tell me your intake on the light thereapy systems available- I just love it and am looking forward to using it personally and possibly sharing with friends. It is a hypnagogic light experience - it has one halogen center ring and 4 LED around it. You lay under it with your eyes closed while the light goes through a programed sequence of flickering. I personally feel bliss and sleep like a baby at night following. Maria: Hi Dr Cabral, I was looking for a good sourdough bread, and found one made from khorasan flour. From my internet searching, it is a type of ‘ancient grain wheat’ also called kamut.  As I have heard lots of the problems with wheat/gluten is from modern day wheat, Would this be something to give a try? forever grateful for you work!

1871: Male Yeast Infection, Immune Reactions, TRS Detox, Smelly Sweat, Breathing Debate, Alternating Nostrils, Dry Brush Stroke Pattern (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral!  I've been following you for many years (nice seeing you on YouTube now!). Appreciate your heart in doing what you can to help others heal...Since Nov. 2020 our 12 yo son has had burning issues when he pees (and more recently he has had some mild cramping in his bladder area). UTI tests have come back negative.  Our DO tested for yeast on the end of his penis so we have been treating that with Sovereign Silver Gel (that has shown some improvement).  Yeast was detected in his urine (though we later realized it might have been cross contaminated). We put him on Dyflucan for 20 days (the first med he's been on in 10 years) as his DO said herbals wouldn't be effective in that area. He eats VERY healthy (SF/DF/GF/organic/etc. + 24-32oz water).   Unfortunately, not a whole lot has changed with the burning/cramping.  His OAT test a few years ago showed that he had yeast overgrowth and high oxalates....We did do the kids CBO protocol at the time but unfortunately weren't able to finish with the sealer or find the right probiotic for him (he had a reaction).  Any thoughts? Have you seen any similar cases? Is there a factor that I possibly haven't even considered? Appreciate any insight you may have from your years of experience! THANK YOU!   Josie: Hi Dr Cabral. I got the Covid vaccine a little over a month ago and have been struggling with dizziness, weakness in my legs and arms, to tingling sensation as well as burning feeling in my back and muscle spasms. I am really scared that the vaccine has triggered an autoimmune reaction. I have Hashimotos and had been pretty stable before due to diet and working with a naturopath to find underlying cause. I did not get the second vaccine, and don’t plan to. Is there anything I can do to recover from this? Im really scared that I did permanente damage. Thanks so much for any guidance.   Georgina: Hi Dr Cabral! I have been listening to your podcast every day, read your book and am going to enrol in IHP soon. Thank you for everything you do, you are truly amazing and a gift from God! You are the only opinion I trust so I would like to know your thoughts on TRS if you have heard of it. If not what are your thoughts on water based nano zeolites or zeolite in general for removing heavy metals.  All the best, Georgina   Emily: Hi Dr Cabral.  I really admire and appreciate you sharing your rich knowledge. You have taught me so much and as a result, my life and the members of my family lives have dramatically improved and for that I am truly grateful.  I am wondering if you have an idea of why my 3 year old daughter smells like craft glue after she sleeps? She does sweat alot while she sleeps and I believe it is her sweat that is smelling that way. She does complain of stomach pains after eating gluten. She also got eczema during the summer holidays after getting out of our eating routine and having alot more icey poles and baby chinos (cows milk) more regularly. We are now getting back into our regular routine again and getting my daughters eating habits back in order (cutting down on dairy, sugar). I am thinking she is sensitive to gluten because she chooses not to eat much of it and when she does she complains of a sore stomach, around the small intestines.  She has suffered from thrush in the past.  I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to improve my daughter's health in regards to this unusual smell. Thank you kindly!  Kind regards. Emily   Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. I appreciate the info you and your guests bring to us. However, I don't know if somewhere along the way I got confused but with regard to the topic of breathing, it seems like the specialists Dr. Belisa, Patrick McKeown, Brian MacKenzie & James Nestor all have different views on topic. If that's the case and I'm not actually confused, I get that's normal. I would just like to know, aside the breathing exercises they recommend, what exactly is the ideal way to breathe in your everyday, normal life. I believe you recommend exhales longer than inhales and nasal breaths. But should it be deep or shallow as some recommend or is there ever need for mouth exhalations outside of heavy activity etc? Hope my question isn't all over place. Thank you.   Darren: Hey, Dr. Cabral. Darren again. On the same topic of breathing, I read the reason many are always breathing more heavily from one nostril than the other is natural part of our "nasal cycle", so that each nostril operates effectively. In order to open one side of your nose and close the other, your body inflates tissue with blood in the same way that a man gets an erection, except, in your nose. Increased blood flow causes congestion in one nostril for about 3 to 6 hours before switching to the other side. The process also gives each side of your nose a break, since a constant stream of heavily flowing air can dry it out and kill off the small hairs that protect you from foreign contaminants. Is there any truth to this at all? Thank you   Darren: Dr. Cabral. Final question. You listed the importance of dry brushing in your book. I'm a tad embarrassed to say I find the diagram a bit confusing. And there's conflicting views on techniques where some say brush toward heart, others say toward lymph nodes & extremities. To quell all that, is it possible for you to do a video demonstrating exactly how drybrushing should be performed? I think I will put doing it on hold out of fear I may be doing more harm than good. As always, thank you.

1870: Pregnancy Detox, Children's Dermatitis, Cycle Symptoms, Mycophenolic Acid, High Pulse Rate, Moldy Food Warning (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Savanna: Hi dr cabral, have a question about cholestasis. I was diagnosed with my first pregnancy and induced early. I am pregnant again and am hoping I will not have it again. I can't find much information about how to prevent or treat without drugs. I did 3 of your liver detoxes last year and I'm hoping that will make a difference this pregnancy. Any suggestions you have to maintain a healthy liver during pregnancy? I have heard about maybe taking activated charcoal. Any tips or resources for more info would be great, Thank you   Christine: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’m loving this world of information you’ve created and I’m truly grateful for it! I have a question about my 11 yo daughter. She seems to have a bit of contact dermatitis around her mouth. It looks like small patches of itchy tiny red bumps on the sides of her nose and the corners of her mouth. We’re careful not to use Steroid creams and want a more natural way to help clear it up. Any insight would be great. Thank you for all you do!   Patti: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you so much in advance for answering my three questions! I’m a 35 year old woman, and I eat a vegetarian diet.  1. get very tired before I get my period, and am wondering if you have any thoughts on how to combat this! I also get breast pain.  2. I get headaches very frequently. Sometimes I will just feel what I call kind of a background headache where it’s not horrible, but I feel like it’s on the brink of getting bad. Sometimes the base of my skull on the right and left side will feel tender. Do you think it could be a tension related headache? Or is there something I should do or look for to figure out what it could be?  3. I have always been a night owl. Sometimes it seems the more I fight it the harder it makes my life. I’m an artist and work for myself. Is there a problem with going to bed at 3am and waking up at 11am? I don’t want to cause my body unnecessary stress, but sometimes I think this is just the way I am and should accept it and not be too hard on myself.  Thank you for all the help you can give.   Tee: You are brilliant amazing and incredible Dr Cabral Can Mycophenolic Acid come through an cord blood umbilical stem cell Iv? After I did this Iv I developed mast cell activation. Can you please do a podcast on mycophelic acid ? I am done to 4 organic foods due to reacting with histamine and mast cell, brain fog, limbic system sense of smell has heightened and fatigue. Please any help   Ryan: Hi Dr. Cabral, I donated blood through the American Red Cross on December 2nd and before taking my blood they checked my pulse and my blood pressure. My pulse was in the low 90’s and blood pressure was 140/70. After knowing these numbers I started taking garlic and quercetin to help lower my blood pressure. I recently donated again on the 29th of January and my blood pressure went down to 118/72 which is awesome, but my pulse was in the mid 90’s. Why would my pulse stay high when my blood pressure dropped so much? I thought there was a correlation between the two. How can i lower my resting heart rate? Also I’m a competitive bodybuilder so I eat clean and weight train 5-6 times a week. Thank you for donating your valuable time to help so many people.   Simon: Hello Dr C! Thanks as always for your wisdom. I was wondering if there were any health downsides to eating slightly spoiled or mouldy food, such as browned fruit or bread where you remove the mould? There is so much written these days about the effect of mould toxins (in both food and the environment) and I was wondering whether the same thing applied to fresh food that is 'past its prime’?

1864: Nightshift Schedule, Lichen Planus, Streptococcus, Fat Loss without Exercise, Hormone Replacement Therapy, Male Hair Loss (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Selina: Hey there Dr. Cabral! So I’m just a few days shy of finishing the 21 day detox and just have a question for ya. I work straight nights as a nurse, so my schedule is not consistent. For example, I work a few nights, then have 1 off and then work 2 and have 4 off. My body hasn’t known what a normal schedule is in 17 years because of my night shift work. Wondering for the next time I detox...what is the best way to use the detox to get the maximum benefit with a schedule like mine? (Meaning- Timing of shakes and meals day to day). Oh, and also I 100% lost my taste and smell from covid 6 months ago and have very faintly got them back. I was so hopeful the detox would help with it, but it hasn’t. I stay fit through strength training and distance running and have lived a vegan lifestyle for almost 10 years now. I consider myself an overall very healthy person, so I don’t get it! Any suggestions?! Kind regards, Selina Shelley: Hi Dr. Cabral, can you give insight about oral Lychen Planus I have low glutathione levels and high oxalate. I’m using liposomal glutathione, quercetin,probiotic, l- glutamine avoiding high oxalate foods, (which incidentally glutathione made severe leg pains that I thought was fibromyalgia go away) I have a lot of recent food sensitivities that make me feel poisoned, wheeze, right eye will swell and become red, brain fog, gi issues. I can’t put my finger on what is wrong, I know since childhood I’m allergic to mold and dust mites. Helen: Hi Doc! What are your thoughts on streptococcus? I've seen great probiotics out there with mainly small intestinal strains (lactobacillius) but I see streptococcus in almost all of them. Do you think we shouldn't buy those that contain streptococcus or is it still beneficial? I'd love to buy your products but taxes are too high here in the UK so I try to find similar ones so I'm trying my best. Thanks! Emma: Hello Dr. Cabral, I started listening to your podcasts about a month ago and love them. I am writing to you today for guidance on fat loss and tendentious. A year ago, I was diagnosed with posterior tibial tendentious in my left foot due to overuse (I ran 3 marathons in a year). Over the last year, I have tried PT and injections but nothing is working. I have gained 10 pounds over the last year, and I am a petite 5'2'' women, so the weight gain is noticeable and annoying. Do you have any recommendations for losing fat with little to no exercise (specifically around the mid section). I purchased your 14 day detox protocol and am hoping that jump starts the fat loss. Any tips would be much appreciated as I want my pants to fit again. :) Thank you for all that you do!  Emma Stefanie: Good morning Dr! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions, we all appreciate them a lot! I know you've answered a lot of questions when it comes to hormone replacement therapy but I wanted to ask you specifically your opinion on it. Do you think that after a woman reaches menopause there is only so much that she can do through the "destress protocol" and so hormone replacement therapy is sometimes necessary? Or do you think that you can always fix it naturally and there is never the need of it? Colin: Hey Doc. Hopefully by now Im a repeat question asker on the podcast, sent you one a few weeks back about weight lifting and inflammation. Your podcast 1817 about male hormones today got me thinking about something else.  Ive currently been taking finasteride for hair loss and for the most part it seems to have staved off further thinning, As a guy in my 30s, this is the last thing I'm going to give up without a fight.  What are your opinions on an extended use of a drug like finasteride (5a reductase inhibitor) that's basically stopping the body from converting testosterone into a virtually useless and damaging hormone in adult men(dht). Ive heard of some upcoming topical anti-androgens coming to market that would potentially be even more localized to the scalp and would inflict less systemic effects like an oral drug. Thoughts on any of this?  Im torn on natural remedies to hair loss because by and large they have been proven to give little to no effect on hair loss. In fact, why would we consult nature on a natural process trying to destroy our hair?! I do think, however, that there may be some natural assistance we can provide our bodies to deal with extended use of a drug like finasteride. In any case, love to hear your thoughts thanks so much for putting out your content.

1863: Catabolic Foods, Perianal Abscess, Hormonal Imbalances, Social Pressure, Supplementing Your Diet, Wild vs. Organic Blueberries (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Erica: Hi Dr. Cabral! Quick question — you always mention how on a vegan based diet, some people become too catabolic. What exactly does that mean? And how would someone know when that is that case? And lastly, is that unhealthy? Thank you! Shruti: My son is suffering from Crohn’s with perianal abscess. It triggered after food poisoning during our visit to India . I want to know which tests to order and what can he do to improve his gut health and being his flare in remission. Anonymous: Dr Cabral - thank you for helping us take control of our health. Just want to understand something - I am a 51 year old woman (Australian). in 2016 I did labs and recorded a high testosterone (288.0* H pmol/l) again in 2020 I recorded a high measure for testosterone (51 pg/ml). Due to other medical issues taking priority it has never really be disclosed to me why I record such high testosterone. Ive googled - which suggests PCOS - however I don’t have any of the systems of PCOS. My voice is huskier, get possibly 5 chin hairs, and I do think my face structure is more masculine. I experienced early menopause 42 (y.o). Prior to that I had off the charts high libido, now I have very low. I eat a good diet, exercise frequently, practise mindfulness, but did go through a period with high stress, fatigue, smoked and abused Ventolin (2015-2019). Just want to understand. 1. why I record high testosterone, is it of concern?  2. do I need to rebalance hormones?  3. how do I get my libido back?  Equilibrium Labs 2020 hormones- Estrodial 0.6pg/ml - Progestrone 21pg/ml- PG/E2 35L - DHEAS 5.5 ng/ml  Leyla: Hi Dr Cabral! How would you go about navigating social situations and maintaining friendships while on your health journey? It can be so hard to change what you eat when you still want to be social so it would be interesting to see your perspective. Deborah: Hi Stephen I am new to listening to you this January 2021 and you are amazing. I feel I am pretty heathy. I eat eat heathy foods mostly veggies and some fish and chicken sometimes red meat I also take some supplement however I feel if I listen to enough podcasts I would be taking a a ton of supplements what do you recommend to do. Ryan: If you had to choose between conventional wild blueberries, and non-wild organic blueberries, which would you choose?

1857: Long-Term Lyme, Yellow Nails, No Joy in Life, Supplement Review, Child Parasite, Refrigerating Seeds, Archived Podcasts (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Victoria: Hi Cabral! Thank you in advance for your time — my question is on mainly Lyme Disease. I’m someone who has confirmed Lyme (western blot I believe), haven’t yet taken antibiotics. I definitely have the symptoms - neurological dizziness, anxiety, etc. I believe I’ve had it for at least 3 years now undiagnosed. My question would be, how would you treat the symptoms of someone with Lyme disease that has had it for years? Would you alter your tick based protocol in any way? Just wondering, as that episode seemed to be more of an immediate response to a recent tick bite. Thanks again! Andreas: I’ve have had an issue with very thick, yellow toenails on my right foot for 20+ yrs. Scrapings revealed it is yeast. My father also had this issue on his right foot only. I have Hashimotos, D and B12 def, skin issues on face and can’t seem to get rid of the toenail issue. Why only on right foot? Also, any insight on geographic tongue? Shea: Hello Dr.Cabral, Thanks for everything you do! Im writing in in regards to my husband. Hes 28 years old and has been having terrible night sweats off and on for a long time. Its so bad sometimes he can't even sleep, because the minute he falls asleep he starts sweating. Ive tried so many things to help him... I just don't know what to do. Background info that could be helpful. He usually only sleeps around 7 hours a night, eats well (we don't do any refined sugar, carbs, soy or processed foods). He was in the military and it was both mentally and physically stressful on his body, not to mention a large volume of vaccines. He's also had trouble feeling joy lately, hes never been depressed..but I can see him struggling somedays.  Thanks, Shea Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your show and appreciate all you do for our community. I learn so much in every show and I trust and value your opinion. I was wondering if you have heard of the Bepic products and what your thoughts are on those. They are supposed to help with energy, mental clarity, digestion and sleep. Could taking these potentially cause more harm than good in the long run? I'm curious what your thoughts are as you are one of the few people who I fully trust when it comes to health and wellness. Thank you for always being your authentic self and for all you do! Emily: Hi there, I am at a point of desperation. my 5 year old and myself have some weird parasite. We were diagnosed with pin worms but never tested and the medicine seemed to work a little but not completely. My son recently was diagnosed with bells palsey and I can't see out of one of my eyes doctor's don't believe me. Can someone please help us! Lorena: Hi Dr Cabral! Absolutely love love your podcast! I activate all of my seeds by soaking them in filtered water overnight with a pinch of Himalayan salt and then roast them in the oven. I then store them in the fridge as this what it is recommended to do after activating. Do you think storing in the fridge is a bad idea due to mould growing? Or is this not an issue? Thanks! Carlo: Is there an easy way to listen to very old podcasts? I can find the podcast I want to listen to, but then go into an endless loop. There is no "Play" button on the relevant podcast. And clicking on "listen in iTunes" takes me to the latest 10, and then click to add 10 more, etc. Is there an EASY "play this podcast now" button? Thanks.

1856: Multi vs. DNS, Vata Weight Gain, Creatine & Cold Sores, Blood Type Diet, Starch & Weight Gain, Peripheral Neuropathy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Nancy: Hello Dr. Cabral! My family and friends have been changing their diet and lifestyle through everything I share from your amazing podcast and book. We're planning another group detox soon and wondering if we can use the activated multivitamin instead of the DNS because the DNS flavors were not a hit for us. Other than adding our own hemp protein, are we mostly just missing the glutathione? Thank you for everything you do! -Nancy KP: Is it possible to be a Vata dosha but still gain weight fairly easily? I’m super tall, very small frame and was always in a healthy weight range but quite over fat. By switching to a whole food plant based diet I was able to lose the weight and get down to the correct body fat percentage, but I find that if I eat to full satiety of even these whole plant foods the scale and body fat will start to climb if I’m not careful. I’ve been listening to your podcasts about dosha’s and was curious as to if you can fit the physical description of one but be more metabolically like a kapha (like I think I am). If so, should I be eating to support my vata, or kapha, or do I just choose which one is my current goal? Karen: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm 48 years old and have noticed that over the years I tend to get cold sores more frequently than I used to even though I eat a much healthier diet than I did when I was younger and am much better at managing stress than I used to be as well.  This may be coincidental but it seems like anytime I supplement with creatine I end up with a cold sore. Nothing I have found online would suggest that creatine can increase the incidence of cold sores but am interested in hearing any insight you might have.  I have listened to your other podcasts related to cold sores but didn't hear anything related specifically to supplements that might trigger them in some people.  Thanks for being such a great resource - it is incredibly appreciated. Georgina: Hi Dr Cabral!  I am about to enroll in the IHP program, super excited!  I’m interested in your thoughts on the blood type diet?  Thank you so much for all that you do, you’re awesome. Georgina Leslie: Thanks for your show..Q: I've been using Fatlossity, and find if I take the evening dose with dinner, it keeps me awake. How can I manage that?  I've done a 21-day, then a 14-day and now 2) 7-day detoxs over the lockdowns since last March. I sleep great during the detoxes.  I would like to lose another 20 lbs.  I also use DNS, Adrenal soothe, and magnesium. I find it difficult to stay on such a restricted diet, so I add back in the blueberries and a sweet potato at lunch. And I no longer lose weight.  If I don't eat the sweet potato, I feel strong food compulsions around mid-afternoon and I am often unable to make it until dinner without snacking.  Fruit snacks sometimes put me into a tailspin where I am more hungry and want to start grazing through the pantry.  I have started to use hypnotherapy to help.. and lost some weight. I would like to use that second dose of Nighttime Fatlossity and still be able to sleep well.  Thanks for your ideas. Leslie Diane: Hi Dr. Cabral I listen to your podcast everyday for the past 3 years and have joined IHP, its is PRICELESS !! Thank you. My question is I have a friend in his late 50s treated with oxaliplatin Chemo for stage 3 colon cancer. He has been off chemo for at least 1.5 years but suffers severe debilitating peripheral neuropathy in his lower extremities. His Physicians say there is nothing they can do. Do you have any suggestions, would a detox help or is this a done deal.

1850: Evening Primrose Oil, Workout Inflammation, Krill Oil, Trigeminal Neuralgia, No Sugar Alcohol? (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Marie: Hi Doc, I posted the below in the support group, and was told to ideally ask you directly for the specifics. Thanks in advance!!"Is anyone able to solve this mystery for me? I am looking to start taking evening primrose oil for hormone balance and was unsure of when to take it. From what I’ve seen on here Dr Cabral suggests taking it in the luteal/second phase of your menstrual cycle, which I‘ve also seen recommended by Alissa Vitti and Jolene Brighten.  However there are also a ton of articles recommending that women who are trying to conceive should only take it during the follicular/first phase of the cycle, as there may otherwise be complications in early pregnancy.  While I am not trying to conceive currently, I am still a little confused due to the mixed messages.”Marie Colin: hey doc, I just finished watching your review of the latest food guidelines on 1-12 and a great video as always. All the conversation of inflammation and alcohol etc has got me thinking. For those of us that are pursuing hypertrophy training or weight training in general, we are essentially pursuing a constant cycle of inflammation/recovery. While this can be argued as "good inflammation" to a degree, versus some of the other worse ways we can inflict inflammation on ourselves, what would some long term risks of a typical pursuit of physique/muscle growth be? Im speaking as someone who has weight trained and "eaten to grow" for 10+ years now, and Im in my 30s with a great BMI and body comp. I dont anticipate stopping any time soon. Outside of the novel risks of acute injury etc, what sort of long term risks do you think we bring about from pursuing a "muscle growth" oriented fitness style and almost perpetual inflammation in our muscles. As I have said in my comments to your youtube videos, I find you to be an excellent voice to bridge the gap between natural and conventional medicine. I wish more conventional medicine doctors were like you. Keep up the fantastic work. Candace: Hi Dr. C! Question on Krill oil... I recently heard that taking krill oil during my cycle, on the days where I may be experiencing PMS, could help alleviate symptoms. What are your thoughts on this? And if recommended, can I combine this with the Omega 3 supp (from you) that I already take. Thanks! You’re amazing! Yvonne: I heard a podcast in which you mentioned you use a PEMF mat. I also have a Swiss Bionics iMRS PEMF mat but think it caused my trigeminal neuralgia - is that possible? After about 2 weeks of using the mat I felt euphoric but shortly after that, that feeling stopped and then I had my first severe episode of trigeminal neuralgia. I stopped using the mat and have tried to use off and on but the neuralgia returns. I assume whatever the mat does is too much for my brain/nervous system - your thoughts? Jen: Hi, Dr. Cabral! First of all, thank you. I know that your protocols and readily-available information has both improved my quality of life now and increased the longevity and quality of my future years. As I listed to Podcast 1803 and your recommendations for alcohol consumption & conversation around sugar, I have a question: What about all the wines being marketed as lower sugar, cleaner, etc.? There is FitWine and a few friends in the fitness industry haven gotten into that MLM Scout & Cellar wine. I'm not on board with either--would rather enjoy a really good glass of wine than a bottle of something claiming to be healthy--but I'd like to hear the science behind it and your opinion on "cleaner" wine. (Organic touch point would be awesome, too.)

1849: Green Stool, Virus Deaths, Not Hungry, Nasal Polyps, High Oxalates, No Taste or Smell (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Anonymous: Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to answer our questions! It means so much to get answers to health questions from a trusted source. On occasion, I've noticed my stool is a light green color. When this happens, it typically lasts for a few days before returning to a more normal, darker color. I'm trying to trace the source to dietary reasons and not sure if increased fats and/or improperly digesting fats could be the cause. Please let me know what you think could be the potential causes for lighter colored stool and if you have any recommendations. Thank you, Dr. Cabral. Valeria: Hi Dr. Cabral, my question is about covid-19 and the rising numbers/deaths here in the United States. I know there are a lot of factors that cause the wide spread of covid, but I want to know what you think is the REAL reason why there are so many deaths in the US compared to other countries. My grandfather has been in the hospital with covid and pneumonia for nearly a week now. Do you think covid deaths are a result of many people not wearing masks/not social distancing in public places, people's individual immune systems not being able to fight the virus, or is it the hospital conditions, such as low staffed and over packed hospitals, not enough supplies, lack of individual care and attention to detail to the individual's needs?  Just by hearing what my grandpa is going through at the hospital he's at, I think it is the latter. Both of my grandpa and grandma actually got covid, but my grandma recovered fine and didn't have extreme symptoms. They both followed the rules and wore their masks, but at their age (80s) maybe it was inevitable. Thank you for reading and thank you for all the work and research you're doing. Kate: I try to eat intuitively, and only eat when truly hungry. I am a pitta body type (but with a very small frame) and once I learned to stop emotionally eating my weight just fell off and now I’m at the lowest end of a healthy weight for my height. My question for you is this: I’ve listened to all your podcasts about meal timing/IF and have tried to make changes but simply don’t get hungry early in the morning. I eat dinner at 5:00-5:30 pm, and don’t get hungry usually until around 11-12 am. I obviously don’t want to get too catabolic though, so is it ok to continue to just eat in the mornings when truly hungry or should I force myself to eat even when not? Meghan: Hi Doctor Cabral, asking for a friend who Suffers from severe nasal polyps, he was told that he likely breathed in a spore through the environment that started it. He can no longer breathe at all through his nose, has lost his sense of taste and even had surgery which fixed the problem for 6 months and then they grew back. Could this be mould in his home? And do you believe he can fully heal from this? What would you recommend? His quality of life has really diminished and would love to help him find relief. Thanks so much for your ongoing commitment to this work it doesn’t go unnoticed. Anonymous: Hey Dr C, I have been experiencing some white squiggly things in my urine. Not sure what to even look for when trying to look up previous podcasts. I had an OAT done and it showed high oxalates could this be related to that? Could it be a build up of what kidney stones are made from? What should I do? Interested to know what could be causing this too Many thanks Heidi: Hi dr Cabral! I had covid about 9 weeks ago and still haven’t recovered my taste or smell. Do you have any recommendations for me? I’ve been taking all my b vitamins, zinc, vitamin c, vitamin d etc, but nothing has come back.

1843: Probiotics & Candida, Rancid Smell, Lump in Throat, Pressure in Stomach, Anti-Aging Formulas, Pulsatile Tinnitus, Pharmaceutical Cocktail (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Dustin: Is the daily probiotic support contraindicated for someone with a slight candida overgrowth? I just got my Big 5 labs and it showed a minor candida overgrowth. Part of my wellness plan is the Limited Yeast Protocol and it will be a few months before I begin that, therefore, I was curious if I need to discontinue my Daily Probiotic Support in the meantime since it will be a little while before I do the Limited Yeast Protocol. Thanks for all you do! Becky: Hi Dr. Cabral I have a question. I contracted COVID-19 back in July 2020. I wasn’t very sick just achy and had flu like symptoms but my smell and taste disappeared. I thought I was starting to get it back when all of a sudden I started smelling and tasting horrible things. Everything started to smell like rancid Thai food and now as it is January 2nd it’s not any better. Only sweet things taste like anything and everything smells awful. Do you have any suggestions on how to get my olfactory nerves to rebuild faster? Thank you!! Angela: Dr. CabralLove your show and the work you do to help the community! I’m generally a listener curious in all the different medical dilemmas you discuss on your show, however I now find myself in search of answers. I recently had a dental implant and the following day from the surgery I woke up with the feeling of a lump in my throat that has persisted for over two months now. The only time I don’t fee the lump sensation is when I’m eating and drinking and when I’m asleep. I saw an ENT who diagnosed me with Globus sensation in which we are trying to rule out silent acid reflux first and then moving on to other possibilities of what may be causing this. In the mean time I’m looking for solutions to help minimize the feeling of the lump. There is no pain and does not present any issues when eating and drinking but it is so annoying. Any ideas of some non toxic remedies? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!Angela Ashley: I want to thank you for all your research you do to help everyone you can going through dis-ease in their body. I suffer with pain and pressure in my stomach. Recently I had a barium swallow done to make sure that my surgery from 2007 to repair a hiatal hernia done was still holding up. They noticed that I have a lot of air trapped in my upper left colon. I have completed the food sensitivity test and cut out the foods I was sensitive to. I have Celiac, acid reflux, dairy free, no eggs, no vanilla, or pineapple. I was wondering what your recommendation would be to help with this. I have listen to your podcast on the different test to take and wanted to know which test to start with. Looking forward to working with you and healing my dis-ease. Dustin: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am a long time listener and wanted to ask about a hint you gave back in 2019 where you eluded to an anti-aging supplement formula you were working on and you stated it would be coming out around February the following year (2020). You were very excited about it and eluded to some of the ingredients, which I was excited about. I waited all year with peak anticipation :) and nothing came. Is this still in the works? Justin: I was wanting information specifically on pulsatile tinnitus, and if regular tinnitus frequently accompanies that or not. I do have both and I’m not sure if they’re the major culprits to my insomnia or theirs other underlying issues. I understand that pulsatile tinnitus could be a symptom of cardiovascular issues. I do have a heart murmur, does that coincide with pulsatile tinnitus some how? Hannah: Greetings Dr. Cabral! My dad is 62 years old, has been battling Congestive Heart Failure, and is sadly pumped full of pharmaceuticals to deal with everything. He had 2 mitral clips inserted this past October, and is now being evaluated to hopefully be put on the list for a total heart transplant. It's so tough and sad to watch him go through this, and I wish he didn't have to struggle so much. Would working with a skilled Naturopathic Doctor be possible, even with his condition and dozens of medications? What would you do in this situation? Thank you so much for shining your light!!

1842: Persistent Nausea, Underactive Thyroid, Gluten-Free Diet, Local Fruit, Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm writing on behalf of my sister in law. During almost the entire duration of her pregnancy with my nephew she experienced extreme hyperemesis gravidarum. It was so severe that she had a mid-line IV of metoclopramide for a month because she couldn't even keep water down. Vitamin B6 was eventually suggested to her and that helped more than anything else. She wants another child but her experience with that pregnancy was so terrible that she, understandably, does not want to risk going through it again. The question is, what might the underlying causes be and, if dealt with, can she have confidence that she wouldn't have the same issue again? Her doctor told her that she's basically allergic to pregnancy hormones but our hope is you might have some better insight for us. Thank you so much in advance. I wrote into you 2 years ago about my fibroadenomas and shortly thereafter I ran the big 5 labs. My mind was blown by how your answer to my question on the Cabral House Calls lined up completely with my lab results! It's clear that you have invaluable knowledge and I can't express how grateful I am to you for sharing that with me and so many others. My whole family has decided to run the big 5 labs and I can hardly wait to see the healing that it brings! Thank you! Raquel: Hi Dr Cabral, I had my thyroid levels tested and it showed that it's underactive. After supplementing naturally (no synthetic hormone) for over 9 months, many of my symptoms improved except this intense muscle weakness. For instance, although i exercise often, when I do long-holds during yoga my legs shake so much that I can no longer breath properly unless I stop. What could help with this? I also feel it when I stretch after a run or during body-weight exercises. Thank you. Cory: I am currently seeing a functional medicine doctor for candida, and leaky gut. She wants me to stay away from all gluten right now. I have been staying away from gluten for 6+ months now with the occasional cheat. What are your thoughts on this? I’ve heard if you take something out of your diet your body is more sensitive to it when you add it back in. Darrel: Good day Dr. Cabral. You regularly recommend 7-9 servings of fruit on your show, I was wondering if fruits that aren't native or relatively known in North America are included in this. In the Caribbean, we've things like Pommecytheres (June plums), Pomerac (malay apples), padoo, cashews, custard apples, cashews, balata, chennete etc. Would they also have similar nutritional profile and antioxidant qualities or should we too seek out importing blueberries and other fruit that aren't necessarily native to us? Keep up the great work. Kate: Hey Dr. Cabral! Hoping you can help me out. I’ve been WFPB for the last 9 months. I have lost over 50 lbs, and am now in my healthy weight range. I eat to full satiety, but still am 25% body fat and would like to decrease that percentage a few points. I have felt extremely well until very recently. I have lost my period and believe I’m suffering from other symptoms of hypothalamic amenorrhea such as feeling cold, fatigued, sleep disturbances, frequent urination etc. I am confused on how this can be happening when I am eating 2500+ calories every day, only working out lightly 2-3 times a week and still am a “higher” body fat than traditional HA sufferers.

1836: Fish Pollution, High Mold Lab, Protein & Collagen Combining, Hip Replacement, Fiber Pros & Cons, mRNA Concerns (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral,I’ve been following a plant based pescatarian diet. I also love eating vegan meals of non gmo/organic tofu and legumes. I recently did your Big 5 tests and my food sensitivities came back that I’m sensitive to soy and many beans. I’m basically left with black beans and pinto beans. I’m currently following the CBO protocol (1 month in) and feeling great! I will try re-introducing those foods in the coming weeks. I’ve been eating WAY more fish now. My question is...is it safe to eat fish everyday for lunch & dinner? I eat only wild caught and low mercury fish. sockeye salmon, cod, haddock, shrimp, mussels, mackerel. I know fish has many health benefits plus it’s delicious. I also feel my best following a plant based pescatarian diet. But our oceans are still very polluted so I wonder if it’s possible to eat TOO much fish in a week. I would love your thoughts.Thank you! Mike: Hi Dr Cabral is it possible to have high levels of mold toxicity for 3 years and just now have symptoms? It’s been 3 years since I left the moldy house. I took the mycotoxin test from Great Plains and Chaetoglobosin A was at 107 when it should be under 10. I started developing symptoms on September 18 and have been getting worse. Karen: Hello Doctor Cabral and thank you for being a most-trusted and consistent resource in a time when fads and contradiction are so prevalent and so hard to decipher.My question is related to combining whey protein powder with collagen powder. I recently heard a popular health podcaster say that these two proteins should not be combined, but he didn't take time to explain his viewpoint.After a hard workout I like to combine these two protein sources.Is there some sort of problem with the uptake of amino acids when these two protein sources are combined or is there something else I am misunderstanding?Thanks SO very much! Heather: Dear Dr. Cabral,I am new to your program and functional medicine and I have embraced it whole heartedly. I am a 44 year old who will be having a double hip replacement. I have changed my diet and detoxed, used acupuncture, chiropractic care, physical therapy and medication. However, none of these have helped and I am barely able to walk and need the surgery to function.My question is: what are the possible causes for needing this surgery so young and is there a likelihood that I would need replacement surgery for other areas ; like my knees? Anonymous: Let me start off with a big thanks to you Dr. Cabral and everyone working with you. What you all have created is such a gift to anyone and everyone who is interested in taking charge of their health.I am a 48 year old woman who exercises regularly, eats healthfully, and works hard to manage my health. I do not have any medical problems but nearly every evening I suffer for several hours with excessive gas.I recently developed what I believe is lactose-intolerance and though the gas has decreased since giving up dairy, it is still a nightly problem. Ironically, the rare evenings when I don't experience this problem are days when I have NOT eaten particularly healthy.The only thing I can equate this to is fiber intake. Most days I consume quite a bit of fiber as part of a healthy eating plan. When I do not eat healthfully, I consume very little fiber and this seems to result in less gas.I don't really want to decrease my fiber consumption as I feel like it is a beneficial prebiotic for healthy bacteria. Am I mistaken?And, what can I do to decrease the gas?Thank you SO much for helping me with what feels like a very embarrassing problem. Stacey: What are your thoughts on the Covid19 vaccine? I am a healthcare worker and am apprehensive to get the vaccine. My main concern is about the mRNA attaching to or replicating any cancer cells that could be in the body. Could mRNA cause abnormal cells to reproduce, or could this technology actually help in our fight against cancer?

1835: Mold & Blood Sugar, Salt & Cellulite, Ginger, Alcohol in Toothpaste, PCOS & Mood, Baruka Nuts (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Mike: Hi, Dr Cabral can mold toxicity cause Pre-diabetes or type two diabetes? Lorena: Is it true that salt increases cellulite due to water retention? I’m referring to good quality salt such as himalayan and Celtic salt but people tend to say that I go a little overboard with it in my meals haha! I’ve been noticing some cellulite indeed and I eat very clean mostly plant-based foods and exercise daily. I also do daily Ayurvedic self massages and have done a few of your functional medicine detoxes. Any advice? Maria: Hello! Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and new year :)I would like to ask for your opinion on ‘Getiana Lutea root’ and ‘Zingiber Officinale root’ as a digestive support supplement. This was recommended by my naturopath but have never heard you speak of these before. I was told one must be careful with taking digestive enzymes with Sibo and that these would be safe to use. Thank you so very much. Maria Maria: Hi again, I also have a one other questions. I purchased an organic toothpaste and realised it contains ‘organic ethanol’. Would this be okay in toothpaste? It is the second ingredient after Aloe Vera so I am assuming there is a decent quantity of it inside. Appreciate your help!! Adonis: Hi Dr. Cabral, what binders can someone take for Chaetomium? It was really high on my Mycotox test. It was 108 when it should be less then 10. I really can’t find information on this type of mold and how to get it out of my system. Dan: Dear Dr Cabral, long term listener and big fan reporting in. My girlfriend is having issues losing weight. She was diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance and has recently been having panic attacks and depression. She also has persistently high CRP, around 10. She turned pescatarian a few years back and has started to exercise more but she is still finding it difficult to lose weight. I suspect she has raised cortisol levels and a hormonal imbalance which are likely contributing to her inflammation and poor metabolism. Her thyroid levels were normal, around 1.5 TSH. Have you any advice where to start, do you think your fatlossity plan will work with these root conditions or do you think there needs to be some preparatory work to see the maximum results? From your number 1 fan Dan. Lauren: Can you do a review on Baruka nuts? I’m also interested in your thoughts on their trail mix which has a mix of the fruit and nuts.

There's an old tired cliche that goes like this, "The only way you can fail, is if you give up..." Although, I'm not a big fan of cliches there is a certain truth to this saying. However, the truth lies more in the fact that there are only so many variables and possibilities you can try before becoming successful and reaching your goal. The issue is that most people go about trying to achieve their goals and dreams all wrong... In today's Cabral Concept podcast I explain what the right ways are to make success inevitable and finally come out on top!

1829: Lingering Respiratory Issues, Strange Taste, Swollen Lymph Nodes, Wine Rash, Throat Spray, Tongue Blisters (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Cindy: I am recovering from covid . It’s been about 6 wks. I am have lingering respiratory issues. Trouble getting my energy back. Would you have any suggestions . I take vit D zincImmune boosters. Protein shakes. I’ve read that Covid can leave information in the body what’s your thoughts? Christine: Hi Dr. Cabral. For the past month or two, I have been occasionally tasting a strange taste in my mouth. The best way I can describe it is almost like baking soda. It’s not overwhelming and it comes and goes. Water could taste strange but everything else tastes normal. I take some daily supplements (magnesium glycinate, mega food blood builder, evening primrose, vitamin d, and a vegan omega 3). I am a 38 yo plant based vegan who works out 4 days a week. I haven’t had Bloodwork done in over a year but last work up showed low iron and d. I do suffer from health anxiety so something like this could cause me into a spiral of self diagnosis. Any insight would be so appreciated! Jenna: I have had a swollen or shotty lymph node on the side of my neck since I was a child (so about the last 20 years). I developed another one on my neck about 4 years ago that also hasn't gone back to its normal size. I can feel them under my finger and they move around if I push on them. My PCP says this is completely normal & nothing to worry about. Can you tell me why a lymph node would stay enlarged like this for 20 years? Is there anything specific I should be doing to get this to go away or do you think it's permanent? Meghan: Hi Dr Cabral, I have tried searching but couldn't find any shows previously on this topic, I have a friend who when he drinks too much he gets a severe skin rash on his face, throat and then body and becomes quite unwell. It seems to be exasperated with wines/champagne. Do you think it is likely that it is a preservative in alcohol that causes this and is it an indication of something else going on in the body or just an allergic reaction to this preservative? Is there anything he can do to minimize the reaction if he does want to drink at social events? Many thanks Megan: Hi Dr Cabral, My 14 month old (who is here today thanks to your protocols!!) is having a hard time since starting day care. He is suffering with respiratory issues including multiple bouts of tonsillitis which were really severe we (much to my heartache) had to put him on antibiotics twice to get him better but obviously you know first hand the impacts of antibiotics in the longer term and on gut health. I currently have him on your children's immune protocol at a reduced dosage as per his body weight (20 pounds), investigating mould in our house, removed gluten & dairy, have him on a probiotic and omega 3, I had tried to book in to see one of your health coaches for an immunity call but they said they weren't able to assist because of his age. I understand and respect you cannot give recommendations specifically over a podcast but I don't want to just wait until next time and face antibiotics again so my question is if this was one of your girls what would you do to support them to get to the root of why its happening while he is so little and in the mean time treat it naturally if it reappears? Is there a throat spray/protocol for a child this young? I would really love some support and don't know where to turn. Thank you so much in advance would love to hear your thoughts. Megan: Hi Dr Cabral, I know you have done a tongue analysis episode but It wasn't quite enough information for what I was looking for. I have scalloping of the tongue and little blister like bubbles at the back of my tongue. From what I can understand the scalloping represents malabsorption, I am currently taking a digestive enzyme with my meals and taking a Healthy Gut Support substitute and probiotic. What else can I do to help support my body? In regards to the little blisters i think that represents the intestines, I did do the intestinal cleanse protocol which well and truly cleaned me out but the bumps are still there and wondering what else I can do because my body is obviously inflamed and showing this through my tongue.

Check out today's questions:  Shelly: Hello, Dr. Cabral Thank you for all you are doing In your journey of health and wellness. I have a long history of asthma and allergies as child, fibromyalgia and central sensitization as adult. This past year Having food reactions that cause tingling in arms, legs, metallic taste in mouth, Ibs, stomach pain, brain fog and fatigue. It’s been long road but long story short In My labs show glutathione is low and Oxalate is high. I’m not sure if low glutathione is because of Oxalate toxicity and I’m having crazy food And environmental reactions because glutathione is low and I can’t get rid of toxins from food? Is the gut primary problem? Difficult to figure out root cause. Trina: Hi Dr. Cabral, First, I just wanted to say thank you for going above and beyond with your team to help our community, it is very much appreciated! My question is about cultivated food, mainly meat from the stem cells of animals. I was wondering what you thought about it's potential safety, health benefits, and whether you agree with those in the industry that it could be a way of providing sustainable food as well as helping the environment.ThanksTrina Cody: Hi Dr. Cabral - thank you so much for all that you do for all of us. I look forward to listening to your podcast every day.  It is my understanding that you can only absorb 3 supplements at one time. I like to take my supplements with breakfast. I often add in powdered forms of collagen, mushrooms, barley grass, acerola, etc. My question is are the powders considered food or supplements. I'm not sure if I'm overwhelming my system if I take a couple powders with 3 supplements (pills).  My second question is - do you have any experience with Asea and Renu28? The people that sell it claim it "cures" just about everything from seizures to blindness, but it all just sounds too good to be true. Thank you again! Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral!!  In the future, I may be mandated to take the new vaccine at my work. What can I do before and after to keep me safe!!!! Love all you do!!!! Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral! I’m a big fan and can’t stop recommending your podcast to EVERYONE.  My friend is really suffering with eye inflammation and is currently on a 6 week course of steroid type eye drops. Are there any natural remedies that could help to reduce the eye inflammation? She is very worried and feels vulnerable when she has issues with her sight which seems to be quite often.  Thank you so much and Happy new year! Joe: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've been a huge fan of you since finding your podcast a year ago. You've been a lifesaver in my household. I was curious if you've read the recent studies showing that LED lighting damages the retina. I know that past studies showed that LED light disrupts sleep and the circadian rhythm, but my wife has macular degeneration and we are extra worried with these new findings because we live in California, and our state has forced out incandescent bulbs completely. Companies out of state are also not allowed to ship these bulbs to California anymore. I'm sure I can find a way to get bulbs if I visit another state, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on this new research if perhaps you decide to review it on one of your Friday episodes. Thank you for everything you do - we are so grateful for you! -Joe Mo: Hi Dr Cabral, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year (assuming you get this in January). I was wondering if you had heard of the Niacin Flush Sauna Protocol? I found some research on it where it was a 30 day sauna protocol with Niacin and the dosage would increase from 500mg to 5000mg by the 30th day. I started it a few days ago and literally after the first session I noticed a red bump on my arm popped out and I think its just the toxins being pushed out. Another thing I wanted to see if you had any insight on would be dandruff from this protocol. I noticed the day after my scalp got really itchy and dry and its getting worse and worse. I put sesame seed oil for now but I wanted to see if these were related. Looking forward to your insight.Thanks again as always, wishing you and your family the happiest healthiest safest holiday season and new year to come. 2020 has been an amazing year and you were a big part of it for me and my family! Regards, Mo Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1828 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

1824: Why Having Too Little Stomach Acid Is Hurting You (TWT)

We typically think of having too much stomach acid as the biggest problem people are dealing with, but in reality that is just not the case…   Many people are dealing with acid reflux, bloating, gas, constipation, or other digestive issues and one of the major contributors is actually a lack of stomach acid (especially as we age)…   Although that may not make sense at first glance, today on #CabralConcept 1824 I’d like to explain why having too little stomach acid is hurting you - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1824 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1822: Flaxseed Warning, Mold Probiotic, Osteopathic Medicine, Adrenal Gland Extracts, Pimple Diet, REM vs Deep Sleep, Early Waking, Optimize Muscle & Health (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Elizabeth:  Hi Dr Cabral, a food product I purchased (Flaxseed, Sunflower, Pumpkin, Sesame Seeds & Goji Berries Mix) was recently recalled in November due to containing hazardous chemicals. Upon a google search, I found flaxseed warnings about cyanide danger. It later emerged, the recall was actually due to FSA warning there was an issue throughout Europe relating to a pesticide called Ethylene oxide being found in batches of organic sesame seeds coming from India. I am surprised about the flaxseed cyanide connection but also surprised about the pesticide use on organic farming. I haven't been using either flaxseed or sesame seed since but I enjoy both and would like to enjoy both again. Are these seeds best to avoid for now, as I'm now confused what can be trusted? Thank you and appreciate all you do Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral, which probiotic do you recommend for mold toxicity? The mold toxicity has impacted my digestive system. I feel like I’m not breaking down my food properly and I’m more constipated. Anonymous: Hi Doc! I’m all into your concept of using the kind of medicine that will help your client the most. I’m fascinated of the Osteopathic medicine philosophy. A.T Still was the founder of the Osteopathic Medicine and he was a very interesting man. I think osteopathy has the same philosophy as functional medicine, Ayurveda etc. What do you think about osteopathy and do you think it’s possible to combine it with IHP? I’m reading “toward a psychology of being- maslow” at the moment. When I read about the self-actualization person I always think about you. You have transformed me to a better human being. Thanks for everything. Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. I have been working on overcoming HPA Axis dysfunction and have been without a cycle post birth control for 2 years. My naturopathic practitioner put me on FEMRebalance by Vitanica and Adrenal Response Non Glandular by Innate. After getting hormone blood-work done and finding out I have very low hormones all together I went to an endocrinologist. They told me to stop taking those supplements and to "avoid ALL adrenal gland extracts - because these contain active hormone that tell your pituitary gland not to make ACTH and leads to atrophy of the adrenal gland cortex. Avoid licorice root because it inhibits an enzyme in the kidney that breaks down cortisol to cortisone." How can this be true and so many natural doctors recommend these things. Where is the disconnect? I am not asking for medical advice but in your experience who is right? Thanks again! Anonymous: Hi Dr CabralI am 16 and have been dealing with pimples for the last 5 years now. I don’t have severe acne, but i have a few pimples scattered around my entire face (a few on my forehead, cheeks and chin area), it gets worse on some days and sometimes its not that much, but there are always some pimples, and my face is never completely pimple clear. I’ve tried a lot of spot treatments and home remedies, but it doesn’t take all my pimples away completely. What should i do? I know thats its not severe, but i just want a complete clear and smooth skin. I also have blemishes, so even when there are not that much pimples on my face i still have the blemishes that are permanently there, some are even there for years! I don’t follow any specific diet, but I’m trying to restrict sugar, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference to my skin. Please help, i would sincerely appreciate any advice.Thank you. Ryan: Hello, I'm regularly getting close to 3 hours of deep sleep according to my Oura ring which as you can imagine I'm pretty happy about. However my REM sleep seems to struggle, never really getting close to that 2 hour mark and more often maxing out at 90 mins or so. I know both stages have different restorative functions but can extra deep sleep make up for a lack of REM sleep in your experience or opinion?Also, as is often cited, deep sleep typically occurs from 10pm-2am. My current bed time is around 11:45pm, and yet I'm still crushing it on the deep sleep. Not really a question, just an interesting observation I guess. FYI I take Mg Glycinate, Glycine and fish oil as my evening supplements. Kristin: Hi Dr. Cabral, Your podcasts have been so informative and I have learned so much about my health. I have been having issues with my sleep the past few months. I had the Thyroid Adrenal Hormone test done a few months ago and my cortisol was high in the morning and at night, and lower during the day. I also had very high estrogen and low progesterone. Working with my IHP I have been taking the Estrogen Balance and Progestomend, as well as Adrenal Soothe, Cal Mag, B-Complex, Zinc and other supplements. The Progestomend seems to bother my stomach so I’ve been taking a bit of a lower dose than recommended. In addition I have been using the Sleep Support. I fall asleep at night very easily with no problem between 10:00pm and 11:00pm, however I always wake up between 3:30 and 4:30 am and cannot go back to sleep unless I take some melatonin, which leaves me feeling groggy the next morning if I take it at that time. Any suggestions? I’m working on completely cutting our caffeine as well, but never have it after about 2:00pm or so anyway. Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated. I also have the Oura Ring and never meet my REM goal. Thanks so much for all you do! Anonymous: Hey Dr. Cabral, thank you for all that you do. You’ve helped me out soo much from an overall health standpoint.Im a 25 year old male.Sleep 8+ hours a day. Eat 50% carbs 25% proteins25% fats. Train 3-5x a week in the gym and track my HRV and do practically everything to optimize my health.I’m Considering starting a career in bodybuilding, but I also want to preserve my health and focus on longevity. My question: How would you optimize building muscle while keeping your health optimal as well aside from what I’m already doing?

1821: Raw Oysters, Aspergillus, Low B-Vitamins, Feeling Apathetic, Permanent Toxicity? (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Michelle: Dear Dr. Cabral, I would love to ask your help in solving my mystery. This summer I completed the CBO protocol with citricidal and then 3 months of the finisher. I ended in July and was feeling amazing, with very healthy stool every day. Then in August I went on a camping trip and on the last night I had significant diarrhea that lasted almost 3 days. I could not trace back to what could have caused it, except we did eat a batch of raw oysters the day before. Ever since those 3 days, my stool has been hard and pebbled and constipated for the last couple months (sorry for the TMI - I miss my healthy stools!). I don't have any other symptoms, but after all the hard work of the CBO, I'm wondering if maybe I got parasites or bacteria from the oysters. I cannot afford a stool test right now, but would you suggest I do the parasite protocol, and if so, should I take citricidal with it just in case? And is there any harm in doing this after all the gut healing work from the CBO/finisher? Thank you SO much. You have been my life and health saver and I'm so grateful for you! -Michelle Nicole: Please do another podcast on mold! There is so much to know. I have listened to all your previous podcast. How does our body rid itself of mold, whats the process going on, She is waiting to do the mold protocol because she is currently on the CBO. I think we found and removed the source but her symptoms are getting worse now that we are home and inside all the time with the pandemic. Will she show these symptoms until the mold protocol is completed because her body can't rid of it? She had high levels of aspergillus and aspergilus. Does the mold just continue to add up in her system? Shouldn't we see improvement if we removed the source?I truly appreciate your genius knowledge insight and all you do for others! Mike: Hi Dr Cabral, can mold toxicity or heavy metal toxicity cause a deficiency in B vitamins? I took a organic acids test and I was low on pretty much all my B vitamins. I had no overgrowth of candida or SIBO. I took a mold toxicity test and Chaetoglobosin A was at 107 so I’m currently on the mold toxicity protocol. Do you believe by doing the mold toxicity protocol I should be able to introduce the vitamins again? When I try to take the b vitamins I get anxiety and shortness of breath. Jessica: Hi, Dr. Cabral. Years back you inspired me to truly heal and set on the journey of assisting others to heal as well. I was full of passion and had a dream that I was working towards everyday- to become a health practitioner that has a thriving business helping others. Since the virus hit, I can’t help but to struggle with navigating where I should go from here... where WE should go from here. I feel rather apathetic and often wonder what’s the point of moving forward with my dreams at all when nothing makes sense anymore. I know none of us have the answer, but what advice do you have to move forward in this world that has completely shifted from what it once was? Thank you and blessings, Jess Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to know are the symptoms from mold toxicity or heavy metals toxicity permanent? Or can they disappear by taking care of the root cause?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1821 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

1815: Insatiable Itching, Health Coaching Investment, Chronic Pain, Low Vitamin D, Extremely Fidgety, Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am one of your IHPs and unfortunately it always seems like it's more difficult when we're addressing our own health concerns.  In May my father passed away and this was onto of many other stressors. At that time I developed a quarter size rash on both my hips. It took a couple weeks to go away but then an insatiable itching took it's place. This has been going on for 7 months now. If I have a compromised gut due to stress, I have no other symptoms so Im not sure if thats a place to start investigating. The itching usually happens twice a day. I have done a 7 day FM detox during this time and no improvement. I also had a colonic 2 weeks ago and there was no candida or parasites. Please point me in the right direction. I cannot afford my own personal health coach at this time... I'm a newly single mom and trying to figure it all out in the most precarious of times. Thank you Dr. Cabral for all you do!! Mike: Hello. Wondering what the investment is to work with Stephen Cabral and how his waiting list is? Thank you Mike Kica: Hello Dr. Cabral, My husband has been suffering from chronic pain for the last 7 years. He’s about 53 years of age now. It started with a bad cold he got from our son and since then he’s never been the same.  He’s had all sorts of test done, seen neurologist, taken antidepressants. By the western medics standers he’s a health man.  On top of all this , physical activity makes him feel worse. The only thing he can do is walk. So he doesn’t have a way of releasing his stress by sweating it off. He also has mild sleep apnea.  He recently told me he never feels good. It’s very sad. He’s a very bright man!  Before we make the financial commitment, as I’m sure your services are not covered by insurance, I was wondering if you can help him. Do you have any cases like this?  I also, would like to understand better your approach. Is it nutrition and vitamins?  He’s tried cleanings and detox but it has not made a difference on his pain at all.  Looking forward to hearing back from you.Best, Kica Flossie: Since the first time I heard you on Allison Melody's podcast Food Heals, I have been hooked to your podcasts. Your story is extremely inspiring and you have a wealth of knowledge. Your story inspired me to write my book "Village Vibes" on my story on reversing an autoimmune disease.  I am looking to raise up my low Vitamin D levels of 18 that was recently tested to the recommended 50 -70. What are your recommendations especially because I have a history of HTN. Thank you Flossie Carla: Hey Dr Cabral, thank you so much for everything that you do. Well all truly appreciate your dedication to help others. My question is regarding my husband, he’s 30 (pitta body type) and EXTREMELY fidgety. I’ve never met anyone as fidgety as he is and it is extremely irritating not only for the people around him but for himself as well. He has done various 21 day functional medicine detox and has just finished month 3 of the CBO finisher after completing the CBO. He takes the daily foundational protocol level 3 every single day with the additional of balanced zinc, full spectrum magnesium and adrenal soothe. His nutrition is based on your recommendations and he exercises more days than not. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks! Arthur: I believe I've been suffering from mercury poisoning, from my 12 amalgam fillings, most of my life. I mean suffering. I've recently had half of them safely removed (SMART) and the rest soon. Mercury in my blood was at 11, but I feel there is a lot of mercury in my cells and it has started affecting my organs and especially my brain. I need a detox program. I'm a little worried about doing it wrong.  So, where should I start?

1814: Immediate Bowel Movements, Xylitol, Vaccine Decisions, Essiac Tea Drawback, Flax Seed Absorption (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Susan: Hi Dr. Cabral- thanks so much for sharing your natural health expertise with all of us. I especially appreciate your focus on the important things in life-family, helping others, health, vitality and purpose. My 80 year old mother has been slowing losing weight. After eating she needs to have a bowel movement right away. This has made her not want to eat as much and she is avoiding socializing more and more. She does have a few alcoholic drinks each day. Could this be the cause or something else? Thank you. Ryan: thoughts on xylitol to benefit the oral bacterial environment and overall oral health? Kirstin: Hi Dr. CabralI work in health care and have the option to receive the mRNA vaccination from Pfizer that is finishing trials now (likely before January 1). My masters is in public health so I am torn about receiving a vaccination that has No peer reviewed literature and is still technically “exploratory”. I believe in vaccinations but this one is so rushed, has no peer review, has a relatively small sample on a global scale, and an MRNA vaccination has never been approved by the FDA (not that I really even trust the FDA).  I was hoping you could help me decide to get the vaccination or not it should be available to me through my work in the next few weeks. Any input would be hugely helpful.Ps- I just finished my IHPL1 (yay) and working on L2You are awesome and I trust your expertise over anyone’s.  Thanks a million, happy holidays Kirstin Patricia: Hi, just listened to podcast 1764. In reference to Essiac tea, I had read in healthline, to avoid using if you had breast cancer. May stimulate growth of breast cancer cells. Is this true? Thank you Diane: Hi Dr Cabral Ive been listening to your podcast for about 2 years and have read the Rain Barrel Effect. Your podcast are the highlight of my day and your book has been life changing.My question is about consuming Flax seed. I am in my 60’s and have lived my life constipated and rarely having a bowel movement. 7 years ago i started consuming 2-3 heaping (utensil) teaspoons of freshly ground organic flaxseed right before i consume my meals. Even before my DNS shake. This has changed my life. I have regular bowel movements, NOT diarrhea. I cant believe how good i feel and realize how awful i felt. My question is would taking this amount of flax with meals and supplements prevent my body from absorbing nutrients from food and supplements.  I praying the answer Is I can continue as I do, I dont think I can live without my Flax..and I’m so proud of my BM’s LOL. thanks Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1814 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

1808: Vegan Carnitine, Low Pancreatic Enzymes, Anemia Mediterranea, Man Fuel Diet, Overcoming Food Sensitivities, Selenium Overload (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Freddy: In general, not looking for specific advice, do you recommend plant based or vegan dieters supplement with choline and/or carnitine? Both tend to be lacking in plant foods but there are studies that show too much choline and carnitine can lead to the toxic compound TMAO. You always have such a balanced perspective on things so your thoughts on this subject are much appreciated.  All the best, Freddy Tommy: If someone is low on elastase in a stool test, what should do the person be doing to improve it?  Unsure if digestion problems is from low pancreatic enzymes or SIBO related. Bettina: Dear Dr Stephen Cabral As always thank you for all the work that you do and for sharing all your knowledge.  My husband is Italian, and he has something called anemia mediterranea. I understand that it is not exactly Beta-thalassemia nor is it Alpha-thalassemia. Have you heard of anemia mediterranea before and is there anything you suggest for people with this? Anything for him to be careful of or to make sure to do?  I have tried searching through you podcasts but only found two podcasts on thalassemia but nothing on anemia Mediterranean.  I wish you all the best,Bettina Scott: Hi Dr Cabral, Thanks for all of the information you supply and the work you and your team do.  I came across your Man Fuel Diet, is this something you would still recommend or would you make any adjustments to this from when it was first created?  Thanks Hailey: Hi Dr Cabral, first of all thank you so much for all your knowledge and willingness to help others. You’ve taught me a lot and Because of you I no longer struggle with asthma, allergies, and I have reversed my diagnosed PCOS. My life changed because of your book only for the better! My question is: Could it be possible that a food that is anti viral/antibacterial or very detoxing can cause an inflammitory response to show up on the IgG food sensitivity test (For exam a food that is causing a release of toxins via die off.) My second question is can you explain why our food sensitivities can change and how often most people should then rerun a food sensitivity test? Once again thank you, Hailey Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. Even though I mostly download and listen to your podcast while I am driving, I commend you on the YouTube initiative. By time you read this we'll be well within the new year, so best wishes to you, your family and staff. My question has to do with Brazil nuts. Is it true that if you eat more than 3 or so per day you're highly susceptible to selenium poisoning? I enjoy them but I've never seen any warning on any package. On that note, are there other nuts, seeds, herbs or supplements that you can list off the top of your head, that we should be wary of the upper daily limit? Like those we may use daily. Prosper!

1807: Vitamin D/K2, Moldy Sweat, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ganoderma Mushroom, Ayurvedic Herb, Hirschsprung's Disease (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Ryan: With regards to D3 supplementation and vitamin K2, how important is it to get K2 if you're supplementing D3? If I'm taking 5000IU of D3 daily, but am not getting K2 from supps or eating organ meats or grass-fed butter etc... do you think that could be an issue? Does taking magnesium and eating a well-rounded diet offset this potential issue? With the food sources of K2 being what they are, surely hardly anyone is getting much K2. What are the work arounds or other factors involved here? Or should I just make sure to get a K2 supp? Mike: Hi Dr. Cabral how often should someone use a infrared sauna for mold toxicity or heavy metal toxicity? Thank you. Sara: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you so much for all your amazing content and giving us the opportunity to learn so much and so deeply about the body and mind!  I am today writing for a friend. I tried finding podcast about this (when looking for health-answers I always first go to your podcast), but without luck. My question is regarding rematoid arthritis and which underlying imbalances to focus on the heal or at least minimize the pain, stiffness and swollen joints?  She is not yet diagnosed, but as I am a nurse, it seems like that's what it is. Never the less it's definite that she has inflammation and a lot of pain and being swollen in the joints and the high pain also seem to come in waves. I've guided her to make changes in the diet and with lifestyle to increase gut health and lower inflammation and she also tried MSN, Glycogen, Collagen, Magnesium to help the joint-health.  But anyway, I would like to know more on how to address and guide her to a more balanced life if this actually is reumatoid arthritis?  Thank you so much for your help and guidance! Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral, you amazing soul :) I heard of some benefits of using the mushroom ganoderma but I always have to check it up with you, hehe.. you are my go-to on all things health.. so please explain more about it if you can.. I have fibromyalgia, but I’m sure information could also help others..  Thank you so much for everything you do, much love to you, your family and everyone trying to heal. Carolyn: Hello Dr. Cabral, My son and I were patients of yours a few years back and you were very helpful!!!  I am hoping you can help once again! I just found out I am positive homozygous APOE, and I am terrified, as my mother has dementia. You have mentioned the benefits of Ashwaganda, but I have read where it is not recommend for people with autoimmune issues. (I have Hashimotos, and Sjogrens.) Should I still take it?  Thank you, and God Bless!  Carolyn Cory: Hi Dr Cabral, my 4 week old is currently being tested for hirschsprung's disease. While we wait for test results and maybe surgery, the surgeon has prescribed 4 bowel irrigation’s a day. It seems excessive and I worry that she’ll lose muscle tone and become dependent on the irrigation to have a bowel movement. Are there natural ways to manage hirschsprung's disease? Thank you.

We shouldn’t be surprised by now, but this just happened.   The USDA hired a group of doctors and scientists to provide them with new guidelines for the food pyramid for the next 5 years…   The goal was to see if edits could be made to the current food pyramid that would further improve people’s health…   Well after the experts presented their recommendations the USDA almost completely overlooked them and held back on what could have been very helpful to hundreds of millions of people…   Luckily, I was able to find out what the recommendations were and on today’s #CabralConcept 1803 I’d like to recap the outrage over the new dietary guidelines and share what they were meant to be - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1803 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1801: Post Virus Syndrome, Bile Malabsorption, Knee Injury, Protocol Timing, Readiness Scores, Mold & Potatoes (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    James: Hey Doc. Hope all is wellI was wondering how to ask a question for the podcast?I really would like to know the realistic aftermath of Covid-19 — I keep reading and researching post Covid syndrome and I can’t shake a lot of the crazy things I am seeing and hearing — my 6 year hold had Covid as we speak — he is generally healthy with no conditions and is asymptomatic — however he is on a highly inflammable diet and I’m not sure he get gets any real vitamins or minerals on a consistent basisThis is very concerning for me and should be for a lot of people.The question is, is this more fear mongering by the media and our govt to ensure our reliance on a vaccine? Or is this really legit research? It’s stating that it can effect even “healthy” individuals who never actually show symptoms of the viru.Doc, your the only one I trust and I’d like your feedback on this!Thanks for all you do. Bettina: Hi Stephen Cabral. Thank you so much for your work, really appreciate it.I have a friend (38 years old) who suffers from what I believe in English is called "gallbladder acid bile malabsorption or gallbladder malabsorption". The doctors say that there isn't much to do expect some medicine but so far my friend isn't taking anything because she is concerned with sideeffects.What would you recommend that I suggest her to look at in order to hopefully help her. She cannot afford your products unfortunately due to the taxes that DK puts on, but I hope you can suggest something that she can find here in Europe which will help her.Thank you so much for your time and your help. Shiela: I have a re-occurring knee injury on one side that flares up with physical activity such as jumping, dancing, hiking, and squatting. I've had an MRI and there's nothing structurally wrong with it, just seems to be inflammation causing pain. What do you recommend to treat it naturally? I was thinking of doing high dose Omega3 to see if it helps. What else can I do? I've had this problem for over 3 years now. Mike: Hi Dr. Cabral, How long should I wait to do the heavy metal protocol after finishing the mold toxicity protocol? Ryan: If you had a low readiness score on your Oura ring would you recommend skipping the cold shower that day due to potential extra stress on the body? I'm only talking 2-3 mins here, and in the shower, not long cold soak. Jenny: Hi dr Cabral, I’ve listened to your podcasts on 1148/ 1103 on mold protocol and diet and I didn’t hear anything about potato’s/ sweet potato’s or starchy food (whether to avoid them, limit them or what while on the mold protocol . Can you help with this. I just want to make sure I’m doing this right! Lol.

1800: Skin Breakouts, Add Muscle, IFR Sauna EMFs, Tempeh, PANDAS, Yoni Egg (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Chris: I have candida in the gut, throat and tongue as well as skin breakouts. Currently follow a vegan diet, no grains, just fruits and vegetables. When I go on a juice fast for 3 -4 days, while doing enemas, skin always clears up. When I reintroduce foods, breakouts come back. This leads me to believe that maybe I have low stomach acid, thus the reason I thrive when juicing, I am not able to fully digest the food. I know you've mentioned HCL supplements and Digestive enzymes help. Will the HCL actually increase stomach acid long term, even after I stop taking the supplements or will they only help while taking the supplements? And, will digestive enzymes become a crutch and my body could become dependent on them? Mo: Hey Dr. Cabral, what are your thoughts on trying to add muscle with a low carb, high protein, semi high fat diet? I have not tried to gain muscle in almost a decade so I'm very novice and Ive been hearing and reading that a high protein, high carb diet is the best for gaining muscle (also easiest). Any tips? I feel like I'm in your shoes when you first started, I'm looking to go from 180lbs, 6'3 to 195 - 200lbs, naturally. I'm not in a rush either. The last time I did this was when I was 19-21 and unfortunately I went the anabolic route and got up to 255lbs but thats not the type of body I want this time. I know it will take a much longer time now. I also know you will say to listen to your TT episodes which I certainly have but I will again, however, any additional off the top of your mind advice would be greatly appreciated!As always, love your work and everything you do for the community.Cheers Kathryn: I know you recommend Infrared Saunas as a means of detoxification. Are there any concerns with EMF? Imogen: If one is avoiding fermented foods while healing the gut (as recommended by my health coach) would this include Tempeh that is COOKED? Or apple cider vinegar that is added to a broth? I might be entirely incorrect but was thinking perhaps the bacteria would have been killed in the heating/cooking process... (or maybe not...) you would be the best person to ask! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge Berna: Good Afternoon,Our pediatrician, albeit without formal diagnosis, treating our 6 yo son for PANDAS. We are also exploring homeopathic treatment options for our child. Do you work with any PANDAS patients?Thank you,Berna Samantha: Dear Dr Cabral,Thank you not only for your willingness to share your knowledge but also for your genuine passion to want to help people. You're a rare example to our youth that it's possible to attain success by working hard, following your passion, and conducting business the right way as opposed to one driven by greed.I took your advice and ran the big 5. I discovered things within these labs that have been causing my health issues for the past 10 years! I HIGHLY recommend to anyone listening to lose the skepticism or debate and run the labs! It's expensive but will save you so much money in the long run....pay now or pay later for "sick care." It's the best investment you will ever make.Now to my question. My pelvic floor therapist recommended a yoni egg for a tight pelvic floor which could be leading to chronic hip and back pain. She says I hold tension there like some hold tension in their shoulders. I debated a long time before submitting this question but I really wanted to see if you had any insight.Thank you so much in advance!

1794: Germ vs. Terrain Theory, Phytoestrogens, Newborn/Toddler Labs, Washing Salads, Enzyme Diarrhea, Ear Candling, Cupcakes (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Ryan: I was hoping you could shed some light on viruses and antibodies. I guess this kind of gets into the germ vs. terrain theory and are viruses really the bad guys they are made out to be. How does one reconcile that a child at just 7 days old has been shown to have something near 100 million viruses in its stool, but does not have the ability to produce antibodies yet, and yet will be completely fine? Stella: Hi Dr Cabral! Hope you're having a lovely day, thank you for showing up every weekend :) I've been doing a significant amount of research on phytoestrogens and I'm quite confused because I've hear you talk in the past how these increase estrogen levels. However, even though there is research on that, there is also research on phytoestrogens actually also being antiestrogenic. So it looks like phytoestrogens have been shown to have both estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects. Which one is it? Chelsea: Hi Dr. Cabral. I was wondering what labs you would run on a newborn just to make sure everything looks good and that the baby is healthy. My son is now 2 and 1/2 months old and just developed some eczema/ or maybe possible food allergy? I would like to get to the root cause of this. What labs would you recommend? As always, thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge. Karla: How would you recommend washing salads in South America if tap water is not an option? Is it better not to wash it? I’m not sure how to wash salads or veggies with something that is not running water… Anonymous: Is there a specific reason why someone might experience diarrhea and upset stomach when taking digestive enzymes? Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral:)I’ve recently learned of ear candles and I’m wondering what is your opinion on them? And also, if you would recommend using them, how often?Thank you so much for being our go-to person for everything health-related.. means so much! Have a lovely day everyone and happy healing!

1793: Candida Diet Plan, Subclinical Hypothyroidism, Inherited Trauma, Grouping Supplements, Myers Briggs Personality, B-12 vs. B-Complex (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  MacKenzie: Suffering with candida and am planning on doing your protocol with some supplements from my functional med doctor. What is the diet you recommend? I couldn't find a podcast that went into detail with this. Gaby: Hello I am a 44 year old female who lives in Perth Western AustraliaFor the past few years, my blood test results have shown a positive thyroid antibodies :a TSH reading of 4.68 in 2019, 4.22 in 2020, similar reading recent blood test last week . Subclinical hypothyroidism antithyroid peroxidase reading 226 IU/ml. My GP has told me I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, but its not too significant tot commence thyroxine, although he feels that I will have to in the future.Im wondering if this can be corrected naturally. Eg supplements, dietary adjustment etc. I have been taking Thompson’s kelp supplement for the past 3 months. I'm not sure if this has been beneficial.Regards Gaby Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral,I appreciate your podcast so much. It has been instrumental in helping me, especially the mindset and motivation mondays, as I suffer from anxiety and depression.I am 35, vegan (recently tested, no deficiencies), COM-T met/met, with chronicle sinusitis since I was young. I also have alopecia areata, eczema, have been in several car accidents and have had to process the death of both of my parents in the last decade. Recently I have started intranasal corticosteroids, which do help but I know this is not a sustainable situation. I am also having a really hard time emotionally since stopping depo provera, so I got prescribed Busiprone and Hydroxyz. I also listened to your podcasts on seed cycling and started a month ago. My question is, what is the best way to undo mental and physical trauma in your body? I have thought about acupuncture and Rolfing especially. I can’t help but feel that my body is responding to the trauma I have experienced. Also I would like to know your opinion in inherited trauma, as my mother was a survivor of abuse and my father survived the dustbowl, imprisonment and many other traumatic life events. Thanks for all you do! Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral:)I’ve listened to your podcasts about the perfect breakfast and heard on so many episodes what you do for your first meal (smoothie & sometimes oatmeal) but I don’t have the time to make the smoothie in the morning because I work for the family I live with and when they come downstairs my work starts but before that I don’t want to wake them up with sounds of the blender, hehe.. so after my lemon water I just eat mono meals of fruit until lunch which is usually quite late (sometimes later than 3pm) which makes me feel quite run down considering I’m predominantly a vata.. and also my gut isn’t ok yet, so I probably shouldn’t consume that much fruit. Any suggestions on what and how I should eat? Also, when to take which supplements, with meals or away from them, which can go together and which should be taken apart from each other? I’ve heard Ester C should be consumed on its own but with a meal that doesn’t contain fruit, Magnesium should also be taken on its own one hour before bedtime, but now I’ve heard it should be taken together with Zinc for better absorption.. when to take vitamin D during the day? All this contradicting information is so confusing so your help means A LOT!! Thank you so much & never change because you’re a light at the end of the tunnel Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral.Have you ever heard about the myer briggs personality type test?If so what’s your opinion about it?And if you have completed it, maybe you could reveal your result ;-)!Thanks for everything doc! David: Why is vitamin B12 so widely recommended by doctors and health practitioners, but not a B Complex? Is it because B12 deficiency is so much more severe than deficiencies in B3, B5, B6, etc.?

1787: Cracks on Tongue, Bone Broth for Gut, Arabinose, Organic Clothing, Postpartum Depression, Goldenseal, Swollen Legs (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Mike: Hi Dr Cabral, I wanted to know what causes a crack tongue and how I could treat it naturally to remove the cracks from the tongue? Is it a lack of drinking water? Mike:Hi Dr Cabral, I wanted to know if I could use bone broth powder to seal up the leaky gut? I am allergic to glutamine. I get headaches, joint pain and accelerated heartbeat. Mackenzie: Any info on having high levels of arabinose? No other yeast showed high Tobias: Dear Dr. Cabral, My name is Tobias, I've been following your Instagram for a while now and continue to find it really inspiring!I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts on the relevance of toxins in conventional clothing as I am trying to figure this out for myself at the moment.On one hand you read about toxins, including the dye itself, remaining in the fabric even after many washes and tiny amounts being able to absorb through the skin or being inhaled as dust particles. On the other hand many people in the holistic health field appear to wear mostly non-organic brands.Assuming the items have been washed before first wear: Is the impact on the body so tiny as to be completely irrelevant even long term - meaning that when only considering personal health (environment etc. aside), it does not make any difference which clothes you wear?Including underwear & socks?What about the sometimes even visible rubbing off of denim dye even after washing?What about absorbing toxins from shoes when sweating?Your thoughts are much appreciated,Tobias Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral. This question is regarding postpartum depression. Neither me or my family has issues with this and this question is really out of curiosity. I have started reading Gabby Bernstein's books which are predominantly self-help books and am really enjoying them. After writing 7 self-help books, she opened about suffering severe postpartum depression and I really admire her courage to speak about it. It's crazy to me how someone so spiritually centered can go through something like that. After doing some research, it looks like a biochemical issue more than anything so I would love to know if you have ever come across that and what your views are. Is there usually any underlying root cause to this or does it really vary? Thank you so much! Rachelle: Hi, I have a friend who takes a goldenseal tincture from a local ginseng farm proactively to help boost her immune system. She swears it’s also helped her her menstural cycles. Can you discuss the benefits of goldenseal and tell more about it? Samantha: I have become a recent fan of your work, and love everything that I am learning! You are a wealth of knowledge. My question is: After the end of my day, my legs are swollen to where I can see a pretty big indention from my socks and pants, especially noticeable more toward the ankle. There are times in which my legs seem achy due to the swollenness, maybe. Do you have any recommendations for me? Thank you so much for your knowledge and I look forward to hearing from you.

1786: Bladderwrack, Dead Probiotics, Nightmare Relief, Filling Breakfast, Parotid Tumor, Saved My Life (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. I used the search feature and found nothing hence this question. Do you ever use bladderwrack in your practice? If so, what is it used for, the benefits etc? Mike: Hi Dr Cabral, is it possible for probiotic supplements to contain dead bacteria or mold? I took a probiotic supplement and it made me very sick within 3 weeks of taking it. I’m practically having all the symptoms mold toxicity. Chronic fatigue, muscle weakness, muscle twitching, joint pain, brain fog, red eyes and shortness of breath, constipation and other symptoms. What test should I run and what supplements or protocol should I take? Carrie-Ann: Hello Dr CabralI absolutely love all that you do. You are making an enormous difference on this planet. Thank you so very much for this.I am starting the IHP program in 2021 and I’m so excited. Right now I’m on day 11 of my first 21 day detox. For the last 5 nights I haven’t had a nightmare (which previously I have had the same reoccurring nightmare every night at the same time - 40 minutes after I fall asleep, for the last few years). I know this is related to the detox as I’ve changed nothing else in my life at this moment. My question for you is why is this happening? Thank you again. Patti: Hi Dr Cabral! I just started listening to your podcasts and they have really helped motivate me to start caring about my health again. I have four questions.1. I am very lazy about eating breakfast. I’m a vegetarian (I eat eggs and cheese) and am always hungry! A smoothie doesn’t do it for very long. What is the best breakfast to keep me full?2. My mom passed away from pancreatic cancer. Anything I can do to prevent this cancer?3. My sister just discovered a parotid tumor that she will eventually have removed. Do you have any information to share on parotid tumors?4. Wondering how your labs differ from labs that would be done at a “regular” doctor. They take so much more blood during those tests which is a big fear of mine. Why are yours different? And does using less blood make them less effective?Thank you! Drea: I wanted you you know that you and your team saved my life. I was preparing to whither away and die. Your words "I know everyone can get better" spoken through your podcast changed everything for me because I believed you and two years ago today, I ordered the Big 5.

1780: Alkalizing Drink, Fats & Insulin, CBO & Mold Protocols, Neck Gaiters, Daily Binders, Sauna Suits, Eating Well When Traveling (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Ryan: Have heard recently from Ben Greenfield, Dr. Mercola, Dave Asprey, Robert Slovak (the water guy) about the potential health benefits of baking soda and/or potassium bicarbonate.It has been mentioned to work in a similar fashion to alkaline phosphatase for help with gut permeability and longevity.Thoughts on the daily consumption of a little bit of aluminium free baking soda or potassium bicarb? Ryan: There is an argument against saturated fats for their purported role in developing insulin resistance. Certainly there can be a temporary state of insulin resistance upon the ingestion of saturated fats and I'm mostly aware of how and why this happens, however there seems to be some that say this isn't necessarily a bad thing and should be differentiated from the chronic insulin resistance present in metabolic syndrome. However, my mind seems to think that regularly invoking a state of temporary insulin resistance is kind of like just being chronically insulin resistant if you know what I mean.I've read this temporary state of insulin resistance can actually be used to improve satiety and help with weight loss.Would love your thoughts on this physiologic response to saturated fats. Mke: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering if it’s OK to do that CBO finisher with the mold toxicity protocol at the same time? Mike: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to know if you recommend using binders daily to remove mold, heavy metals and other materials? Paul: In the study you mention neck gaiters causing water droplets to break up into smaller particles making gaiters more likely to infect others. Why would a gaiter cause a break up of water droplets any more than any other mask? Cotton masks and surgical masks couldn't do the same thing? Patrick: Hey dr Cabral absolutely love the work your doing and enjoy listening to all of your podcast multiple times. I’ve been using the sauna at my gym a few days a week for the last 2 years and love it but for the past 6 months the saunas are closed due to the virus do you know if sauna suits are a good way to help sweat out toxins or would epson salt baths be a healthier option. Keep up the good work you and your team are the best Andrew: Hello Dr.Cabral, First off I want to say thank you for your work and paying forward everything you’ve learned, studied, and experienced in your life. For the benefit of myself and others, could you tell your story and explain how you kept your health routine and eating in check while you were recovering and traveling around the world during your studies. I think this would be an interesting topic and could help a lot of us structure ourselves through this busy life!

1779: Agar, High Iron - Low Ferritin, Constipated Child, Nighttime Breathing, Probiotic & Mold, Cookbook Coming, Virus Toxicity (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Heydie: Hi Dr. Cabral!!!You are such a blessing. No other podcast comes close to the comprehensive education you provide. Thank you for your dedication, selflessness and diligence you provide to transform our lives!! YOU ARE THE GOAT INDEED!!!I would like your feedback on following items:*Is agar safe as an additive? I purchased an organic cococut yogurt that has this ingredient.*I have Ferritan level of 30, hair is falling out over 4 years, I have run TIBC, iron level is high as I genetically am prone to storing iron (Hemochromotosis). I just started Innate iron from your site but fear this will increae iron level which would increase oxidative stress.I walk daily 10,000 plus steps, do yoga, eat organic, have cold-water fish 3-4 x weekly, eat losts of veggies, and my starches include brown rice or japanese/purple potatoes.I am 5'6, small frame, weight 120 lbs.After 12-13 hours overnight fast, I take following products formulated by Equil.life: DNS shake am, magnesium, thyroid mineral supplements, fish oil, cal-mag.Appreciate suggestions of next steps to increase Ferritan level without increasing my iron level.THANKS FOR YOUR INSIGHT!!! Melissa: I hope this message finds you and your family well. I am writing in again about my toddler, Bob. The kid with seemingly determined eczema/gut/food issues. After running Big5+stool (praise be!) we've got a lot to work on! I have a few questions though. We are working on balancing deficiencies first, so we've got some time to wait for your teachings. 1) We use a very diluted topical steroid on him every day. Besides taking it slow when we start the protocols - when he flares/detoxes through his skin, do we increase the topicals? Or would that be counter-productive? Would you stay the course with them, start to wean at some point, or just cold turkey throw them out? I have a lot of fear here, his skin was unlivable before, even with elimination diet. 2) What are your feelings on occasional miralax? He leans towards constipation very easily, and this works best with least dermal reaction. 3) I'm wondering if it is common to be reactive to even just supplements? We haven't even started a protocol yet and he's already inflamed. Not enough to increase topicals though because we just keep backing off them and slowly going back up. At what point do we go ahead and just jump into a protocol? Thank you!!! For the protocols and the hope. Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral. Thanks so much for all you do. If your daughters regularly woke up in the middle of the night struggling with breathing issues, is there any natural remedies (that are effective)that you would use before reaching for the inhaler and dialling 911?Also are breathing issues/asthma a sign of a vitamin or mineral deficiency?Thank you, I would really appreciate your thoughts!Sarah Mike: Hi Dr Cabral, I wanted to know if it’s a good idea to take probiotics if you have mold toxicity? I remember you saying to stay away from fermented food when having mold issues. Nicole: Can you please make a cookbook!!!! I am doing the CBO with my 6 yr old and it is very stressful and overwhelming! I do not consider her a picky eater and we have been eating healthy for years now but the 1st 21 days is difficult having to pack breakfast and lunch for school. I think your wife would be a good resource and would love to hear more about things she makes for your kids . I never had facebook but joined just to get recipes from your support group but there is not alot for kids and not so much on the 1st 21 days. I really enjoy reading a cookbook with my kids and looking at pictures instead of looking at my phone or the internet for recipes. You could incorporate recipes with your veggie blend, DNS powder and have an adult and kid section with different protocol chapters:) I will be the first buyer of your book! Thank you for your knowledge you so graciously share everyday! Andrew: Hey Dr. Cabral! I am a newly graduated chiropractor in New York City and I have been looking to practice natural medicine here. You’re podcast is my favorite! And I will probably take your IHP training soon!The news showed me that New York and other states may have mandatory covid-19 vaccines for all citizens without exemptions. I see no way out of it if this happens and I was wondering what natural protocols you recommend or any advice if People have to get it no matter what. All I can think of is Glutathione.

1773: Essential Tremor, FODMAPS & Adaptogens, Stabilized Rice Bran, CBO & Weight Loss Benefits, Herbal Water, Parasite Protocol or Test, Kid’s Rash (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Lisa: Hi StephenMy mother suffers with an Essential Tremor. It affects her hands and arms, making it difficult to eat and drink. Her mother also had this and her head would shake later in life. I am concerned that this may be something that I also acquire as it appears to be an hereditary trait. I have also noticed my hand shake when taking a glass of water or lifting a fork, but so far it has just been on a few isolated occasions and not a regular basis. I therefore wanted to ask if there was anything I could do to reduce my chances of developing a tremor like my mother and grandmother. I exercise frequently and try to eat a balanced diet. I am a healthy (slim) weight and on no medications. Any tips/advice would be much appreciated.Lisa Gabe: Hi Dr. Cabral, I had a question to day about fodmaps. I know mushrooms are not allowed when following a low fodmap diet, but what about adaptogen powders. Typically I put lions mane in my smoothie or coffee. I also use reishi sometimes as well. Would these be ok to use on a low fodmap diet or should I stay away from them as well. Karen: First off, a quick but heartfelt thanks to you and your team for all the work you do to educate and improve the health of those around you. It is a huge undertaking to commit to these daily podcasts, but your community really benefits from them!!!My question is about stabilized rice bran. I have heard there are great benefits to supplementing with it. However, I have concerns since I've heard it is the outer shell of the rice (also called the 'bran') which accumulates the most arsenic (which is why white rice tends to have less arsenic since the bran has been stripped away).Am I misunderstanding this concept? Do you have any insight into the health benefits of stabilized rice bran verses the risks?Thanks SO much!!! Gabe: Hello Dr. Cabral, I hope you're doing well as these winter days really start to set in. My question pertains to the CBO protocol. I ran my organic acids test and was recommended to complete the CBO protocol based off my results. However, I am very underweight and was wondering if I can still gain back good weight on the CBO protocol. I know in the first few weeks the list of food that are allowed to be eaten is slightly restricive. Do you think it would be more beneficial to work on my weight first and then do the CBO protocol, or can I kill two birds with one stone in this case. I value your opinion and appreciate your help! Also, by the time you're seeing this it'll probably be close to Christmas, so merry Christmas as well, and again thank you! Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral:)Your podcasts are an amazing start of the day for me, you’re such a bright star in a very dark night.. I’m sure a lot of people think this way.. thank you so much for doing what you’re doing..Today my question is about cold brewing tea.. I thought it was ok because I read about it but now a nutritionist told me I’m basically just making flavoured water and that the essential oils in herbs that are healing cannot get out of the herbs soaking in cold water.. do you have some knowledge about this? I’m sure some Ayurvedic knowledge..? :Which can be cold brewed then and which not? And how to prepare tea, I also heard not everything can be put into boiled water..?Thanks you so much and I wish everyone happy healing:) Lorena: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you very much for taking the time to answer these questions. What would your suggestion be if someone goes through the CBO Protocol & CBO Finisher but then 3 months later gets food poisoning from a bad piece of sashimi? Would you say doing the parasite protocol directly if testing is not an option financially? Mo: Hi Dr Cabral! Its Mo here. I'm reaching out in regards to my daughter again. Today is Nov 8th and about 2 days ago she developed this red spot that sort of looks like eczema in both her arm pits. Her left side is a lot more prominent than the right. She's only with me a couple days of the week and while with me she does not eat or touch any dairy, gluten or processed foods, however, unfortunately while with her mom she gets cheese, milk, yogurt, crackers. I have always had lots of skin issues (prior to doing your protocols) and so I'm worried since she has my genes she could develop the same issues. What would you recommend we do? While with me I give her your Omega 3, DNS, kids D3. Should I get her tested for food sensitivities?Thanks as always, my whole family loves you and all that you do for everyone in the community!Cheers, Mo.

1772: White Hair Patches, Amino Acid Testing, Wake Up Too Early, Gluten DNA Testing, Pseudo Seed Cycling, Low Hemoglobin (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Matt: G’day Dr Cabral,You provided some fantastic insight into my question from episode 1731 regarding Psoriasis. However I wondered if you had further insight into the white spots that I also mentioned in my question that don’t appear to be psoriasis. These white patches have developed in places where I have had scars and even a birth mark. The hair on these patches have turned white. These patches are mainly on my shin area and the back of my calves. What do you think this skin condition could be? Is it something I need to treat from the inside or topically? and do you think I will gain the pigment back in my skin with the right treatment?Thanks so much for your ongoing support, effort and advice.Cheers Matt Freddy: Dear Dr. Cabral,First of all, thank you for all the help you provide for the Equilife community. There are countless people that have benefited profoundly from the work you do, myself included.I am interested to hear your opinion on the usefulness of amino acid blood testing. Through common functional medicine testing we learn about our body's vitamins, minerals, hormones, neurotransmitters, and fatty acid profiles, however it doesn't seem like a common practice to test for amino acid levels. Have you used amino acid testing in your practice? If so, for which types of clients? Also, is testing one's amino acid levels a good baseline test most people would benefit from doing? Your thoughts and insights are much appreciated.All the best,Freddy Cindy: How do I change my wake up time? Or should I even try?My body naturally wants to go to sleep between 8 - 9 PM (at least during this season), but I usually stay moving until 9 so that I won't fall asleep too early. My alarm is set for 4:40 AM but I never make it until then. This morning I woke up at 2. I feel rested but annoyed! Based upon my Oura ring, I only get deep sleep in the first part of the night. I have noticed that if I get close to 90 minutes of deep, I won't be able to fall back asleep (even if I use my Apollo, sleep cycle). My REM is usually good (around 90 min. or a bit more), deep often low (around 60 minutes), but lately I am RED, not good, on the amount of sleep because my body won't stay asleep. Again, I feel rested when I wake up, but later in the evening, I cannot sit down to watch TV because I will fall asleep. Should I just be happy that I sleep well for the first 5 or 6 hours? If I stay up later, it doesn't change the time my body wants to wake up, well, it may push it back a little, but it is still too early.I have ran your Big 5 (cortisol normal curve). I have been testing my Blood sugar, and yes, every morning it is elevated (106 to 143, usually between 106-110).Any suggestions? Cindy: My 1st Food sensitivity test had most grains as a problem area, especially wheat, gliadin, and wheat gluten. After CBO protocol and a couple years of healthy eating, I still feel gluten is a big caution area for me. However, on my 2nd food sensitivity test, all grains are in the green, except those mentioned above, but they are only in the low range. My Smart DNA test revealed that I would not digest gluten well; this won't change since it is DNA, right? I do feel that when I eat gluten (with my "choice" meal, now and then or with sour dough bread on occasion), my digestion slows way down. I will need to focus on elimination for a couple of days, or it won't happen. I'm a bit confused on why this IgG test shows gluten as not a big problem. Are these 2 test, Smart DNA and IgG food sensitivity test reporting on different items related to Gluten?Thank you for all you do. I love the changes you are making! Carly: I practice seed cycling for hormone balance (1 Tablespoon of each: Flaxseed & Pumpkin during the First Part of my cycle and then switch to Sesame & Sunflower for the Second Set, or rest of my cycle). It has been very helpful!However, I don't like Flaxseed (grinding, etc) and Sesame seeds are a little higher (2nd green color) on the IgG Food Sensitivity Test.Question: If I only eat 1 seed from each category (Pumpkin and then Sunflower), do you think it would still have the balancing effect on my hormones?I appreciate all of your shared wisdom.Isn't it beautiful how your "Mess became your Message!” Joanna: Hi Dr CabralWhat may be the cause of ongoing low blood pressure? Mine sits around 100/60 sometimes systolic in the 90s? Do you have any suggestions of how to increase blood pressure and causes?Also I have had low heamagloin for a few years now around 114, I have had microscopic blood in urine and stool both have been investigated with specialists, iron was also ok, and have checked b12 folate all normal. However my next step would be looking into red blood cell morphology/cytology. Could you please share some brief insight this, and direct me to any relevant podcasts you have done on this before? Or share any other thoughts about low heamagloin?I am an IHP so am working on gut and hormonal healingI do get a bit dizzy only on occasions, fatigue is ok most of the time, usually I feel quite energised. Periods are not heavyThankyou so much Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1772 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

1766: Follicular Hyperkeratosis, Overactive Bladder, Buffalo Mozzarella, Low HDL, Sluggish Bile, Raw Milk Dairy (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Noah: Hey doc! Love all your videos, super grateful to learn from a great doctor! My question is, for maybe 10-12 years, I have had rough red pimples you can say on my arms,chest,back and legs. I think it’s called follicular hyperkeratosis? What can I do that for that? No doctor even my functional medicine doctor doesn’t know how to treat it(effectively get rid of it). I currently don’t eat wheat,diary,eggs,soy and fish except salmon. I do deal with a lot of food allergies and allergies in general. Thanks! Gail: Hi, for years I've been waking up at night many times - between 3 on good days and sometimes 5 or 6 on bad days - to go to the bathroom.I used to wake up many times during the night thinking that I needed to pee, but most of the time my bladder was far from being full...I started to take a Medication for overactive bladder a few weeks ago, and since then I still wake up many times during the night, but now my bladder is always full, which means I really need to pee 3 to 5 times per night.I've tried to limit any fluid intake after 5 pm but it did not change anything...I take a sleep supplementation as well as Magnesium; I meditate, do yoga and am otherwise healthy and fit...Do you have any clue what could help me? I haven't had a straight night of sleep for years now and of course, when I wake up at 4 or 5 am, it's getting harder and harder to go back to sleep...Thank you SO MUCH in advance for any help you could provide! Gail. Paula: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to ask you questions! I was wondering if you consider dairy products from the animal buffalo as harmful as those from the cow? I know that if even someone doesn’t show a sensitivity to cow’s milk on an igG food sensitivity test, you still don’t recommend it for many other reasons. Does this apply to buffalo mozzarella as well for example? Anonymous: What would cause a decrease in HDL levels? Last year my HDL was 48, I was hoping to increase this and started taking your Omega supplements in February. I eat pretty healthy, but have room for improvement: fish once a week, flax, chia, olive oil and nuts. I had my cholesterol tested recently and my HDL is now 38! It’s gone in the opposite direction. My HDL/LDL ratio is good, I am just curious why my HDL would decrease and suggestions on how to increase it.Thanks! Judy: I was told I have sluggish bile causing poor breakdown of fats. What are some things I can do to support my gall bladder? Kirsty: Hi Stephen, I know you have spoken about the ill effects of consuming dairy products, but I was wondering what your view is on raw milk dairy? I don't consume milk myself but I have been reading that it's a good source of enzymes (lipase) and also Butyrate which is necessary for cell rebuilding in the colon? I follow your protocols and love all your nutritional information so thought I'd get your thoughts on this. :) So much thanks!

1765: Shampoo Picks, Skin Infections, ACTAIR Immunotherapy, Food Reactions, Collagen vs. Bone Broth Protein Differences (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Brandon: What are your favorite men’s soaps and shampoos? Looking for recommendations on regular shampoo and dandruff shampoo. Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral- thx for all the work you do! I’m about 10 years in on my health journey. I found you 1.5 years ago and now I’m making some progress. I’m currently working with a level 2 IHP, have done the food sensitivity lab, the spit test lab, a 14 day detox, the CBO plus the finisher, and the mold protocol. I’m still getting yeast infections (I’ve already listened to all your past yeast infection podcasts) and they come at the same time in my cycle and it seems hormone related. The other issue I’m still fighting is bacterial infections on the tip of my nose and sometimes inside my nose. I’ve had maybe 20-30 over the past 4 years. They clear up w neosporin. So far, every doc that I’ve asked can’t figure either of these 2 issues out, for long term success. I’m on all your supplements and the DNS daily. I’m healthy, active and great besides these two annoying reoccurring issues. The nose infections are definitely linked to sinus stuff that I’ve worked on through the years- All linked to Candida and sinus infections etc. thx for the help! Kazz: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all the difference you are making in the natural health field, sharing your knowledge and being accessible to everyone who has a question, I appreciate it so much as so many do! My question today is regarding chronic eczema and supposed extreme allergy to dust mite and the treatment of ACTAIR immunotherapy. My daughter's bf who is 25yo has spent his life suffering with extreme allergic reactions; rhinitis, eczema and the occasional bouts of asthma. He has had plenty of courses of antibiotics over the years, but in recent years not so much, however recently he has had such a bad case of eczema that the scratching extended to staph. His dr prescribed antibiotics and when one course wasn't it enough, 2, 3... now onto his 4 consecutive course of antibiotics. He has had an allergy test, tested positive to dust mites and has been in consultation with specialist to possibly begin ACTAIR immunotherapy for dust mite allergy which is a 3 year desensitising process, and does come with side affects. I'm wondering if you know much about this therapy. I feel he could get great results using EquiLife products, a hair mineral analysis etc. He is concerned that there is no proof that would work. Would love to hear your comments :)) thank you so much. Kelly: i Dr Cabral, my 8 year old son completed the children’s cbo this summer. He did have an anaphylactic reaction to a scallop in the middle of it where we had to stop for a few days, but for the most part we followed it well. I had been sharing my cbo finisher with him, although not religiously. He seemed to have been doing better. Belly aches, head aches seemed better, acid reflux is gone, arm pit eczema gone. But, the last 5 days he has been getting random hives all over his body, and itching throughout the day, all over, but especially at night when he’s trying to fall asleep. The only way he’s been able to fall asleep is with a little bit of Benedryl and wet wraps. He also has blotchy red spots around his mouth area. He had terrible eczema when he was 3mo-3 years, but it has mostly been gone since then. Now, it seems like it’s coming back. We did the food sensitivity test as well as scratch testing, and try to stay away from those. He hasn’t been eating anything “new” that I’m aware of, so I don’t understand what’s happening. He is very sensitive to gluten, dairy, sugar, and many foods and did have a lot of dairy at a friends house just before this started. Any ideas on what’s happening and how to help him heal would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!! Michael: Hi Dr Cabral, what is the difference between collagen protein and bone broth protein?

1759: Collagen Deficiency, Soaking Seeds & Nuts, Whole House Air Filter, Medical Procedure Cleanse, Dairy-Free Probiotic (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Kelsey: Collagen deficiencies run in my family. The females get really saggy skin, especially all over the legs and I’ve noticed my upper eyes are having the first signs of drooping. I take collagen supplements but I just read something about collagen not being absorbed unless taken with silica. Is this true? Can you recommend any anti-aging tips for better collagen production or just general anti-aging recommendations? Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral:)My question is regarding soaking nuts & seeds.. there are so many contradictory information out there, I’m really confused..Some say everything should be soaked to minimise the phytic acid and encime inhibitors, others that some nuts and seeds don’t have to be (cashews, Brazil nuts, pistachios, pine nuts, smaller seeds like sesame, chia, linseed, hemp seeds..)..Which info is correct and why?Then you read that it should be soaked in a water with a little salt in it, but a nutritionist I asked said that binds the minerals in them and takes it out of the nuts so it’s not recommended..?Then there are so many different information on how long to soak which nuts/seeds/grains/legumes.. how long is best for which?Then, some say to soak in a refrigerator, others not to..How about roasting them after? Does that take away any of the nutrients?Or just leaving them soaked and probably refrigerated so they don’t go bad?Basically I’m interested in all information about this topic but don’t know where to find it because everyone says different stuff..Also, is it bad to eat lots of these..?Thank you so much, as always, you are a lifesaver! Lots of love to everyone healing out there.. Katharina: I wanted to first thank you for all your teaching! I am almost finished with IHP Level 2 and have learned so much! I am an RN in a busy Boston hospital and it has been quite a year. I am using the knowledge gained in IHP for my family and beginning a small practice helping others get their health back!What I haven't heard throughout (And with so many podcasts I have probably just missed it) is about air filters. I am currently working my way through the whole podcast list and have searched for air filters and listened to those. I know you recommend a couple of freestanding ones, but what about just putting HEPA filters on your forced hot air system for the house? My husband asked me when I told him I wanted to buy an IQ Air and I was a bit stumped at why IQ air is better... He sort of just lets me do whatever crazy health stuff I want, but I want a solid answer to stand behind here! Can I just put a filter on the heat/air conditioning system I have now and filter the whole house at once? Ivana: Hi Dr Cabral,Two years ago at age 22, I was diagnosed with Crohn's and had to have 5cm of my small intestine removed due to a stricture. I am fully in remission, no medications, sticking to the kind of lifestyle you promote and doing great. I did the CBO protocol and I'm now on the CBO finisher, I cannot thank you enough for creating something like this protocol, it did wonders for me and I can't believe something so simple made such a huge difference! Although I feel great now, I know that at some point in a year or two I will need to do a colonoscopy or an MR enterography to check on my intestines. As you probably now, when preparing for such a procedure, they give you a bunch of aggressive laxatives that are artificially flavoured and full of additives. How harmful is this in terms of wiping out the good bacteria in the intestines? Would there be any alternative way of cleaning your intestines, for instance, drinking just liquids and shakes for two days and then taking some more natural laxatives? Would it be useful to do the CBO protocol after the procedure?Thank you for all the work you do, the fact that the information you share and your 3 months protocol helped me more than 7 years of doctors' appointments says it all. All the best! Brianna: Hello,So, my doctor recommended me to go on the Candida diet and I noticed there’s a Candida & Bacterial Optimizer (CBO) protocol and I definitely want to try this due to the fact I’m having a hard time coming up with meals to eat, however, I did notice one of the probiotics does have milk in it and I have been vegan / plant based for almost 5 years now and don’t have dairy so is there any way I could get this protocol without the probiotic that’s on there that has milk? I am currently taking a probiotic from my doctor and the strains are the same minus 2 strains.

1758: Hypo-Thyroid, Salivary Gland Stones, Baby Sleep Schedule, 5 Fat Burning Factors, Terrahydrite for Gut (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Ryan: Hello Dr. Cabral, really enjoying the new Thursday guest podcasts! Thanks for all that you do! My question is in regards to people with graves disease who have had radioactive iodine ablation. (Thanks to you I understand the workings of the HPA and HPT axis, and triggers/solutions for autoimmune conditions within the framework of our lifestyle habits and epi-genetics)My question is simply this, in your clinical experience have had clients regain normal thyroid function after having their thyroid ablated without needing thyroid medication? When I had this procedure a few years ago I was told I would be on thyroid medication forever since the ablation apparently induces a permanent hypo-thyroid state. I have been on nature throid for a while and am doing well, but wanted to see if a protocol (12-16 weeks?) with the daily thyroid support and potentially an additional thyroid glandular could help heal my thyroid and allow me to wean of nature throid? I understand that this could work for typical hypo-thyroid or hashimotos clients but could this work for those who had radio-active iodine ablation? My goal is to eventually be off thyroid medication for good, and use supplements as the stressors of life see fit! Thanks! Rie: Hi. Thank you so much for all you do to help people. I have completed all the tests except for the food sensitivity test and have completed all the protocols as indicated by my health coaches. I follow your daily regimens as well. For the past three years, I have been getting salivary gland infections. My MD prescribes antibiotics each year and these take care of it after the ten days of treatment. I do not go to the doctor until they are so bad that I cry whenever I try to eat. These salivary gland stones/infections are very painful and I hate to have to take antibiotics. I ha e noticed that they occur in either August or September. This year I made it until October. I take the alkalizing vitamin C and the Hist Pro, but I did miss some days on the Hist Pro. I figure they are allergy related since they occur at the same time of year generally. My doctor isn’t very familiar with them and thinks I should see an ENT for possible surgery. I have searched all the podcasts and only found information on tonsil stones. Mine seem to be in the glands under my tongue, but the lymph gland on the left side of my neck enlarges first each time. Please help me! Inga: Dear Dr.CabralI have another question about my baby .. he’s currently 16 months old and has never slept through the night. He wakes up 5-10 times a night! My pediatrician just said that’s what happens with breast fed babies . I find that hard to believe. He wakes up crying and wants to be fed he won’t take a bottle or pacifier. He co sleeps with my husband and I .. I have tried a sound machines, diffusing lavender, foods high in magnesium, and taking out gluten/ dairy from his diet. We tried getting him to sleep in his own crib hoping that would help and he cried hard for 5 nights each night in his crib .. I really don’t know what to do .. thank for any advice you can give me I really appreciate you and value your opinion. Inga Daise: You talked about the importance of hormonal balance to burn fat as one of the 5 factors to burn fat. But you did not explain how to do that. Could you please explain the solution to this problem. How to balance your hormones? Are you saying fatlosity is the answer to this problem? Meghan: Hello Dr Cabral, I have had incredible transformations through your protocols, now have an Integrative Health Baby, am an IHP 1 and currently enrolled in IHP 2 and will be one of your supporters for life.My question is regarding the product called Ion Gut Health which was created by Dr Zach Bush. The main ingredient is Terrahydrite® Tests showed it restores cellular tight cell junction integrity. ION*Gut Health supports the body’s production of beneficial enzymes through redox signaling (cellular communication) and promoting lysine production. Are you aware of this product and in terms of healing leaky gut and what are your thoughts about it? I know you are supportive of the ingredients within the healthy gut support product but keen to hear whether you have come across Terrahydrite in your research.

1752: Energy Boosting Herbs, Exercise Modulation, Chaste Tree, Weak Hair & Nails, Topical Steroid Withdrawal, Heat Rash (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Simon: Hello and thank you Dr Cabral! We are expecting our second baby in late November and I am preparing for six-plus months of reduced and interrupted sleep with additional stress. I'm wondering what your best recommendations are for preparing for, and dealing with, this taxing time? My main concerns are impacts on energy and focus (at work, exercising, and being a good father), as well as general health and not reversing my last 12 months healing from chronic IBS-D. I've listened to all your podcasts on adaptogens and figure a maintenance dose of stress-reliving supplements like Adrenal Sooth, swapping with or adding energy-boosting supplements like Adrenal Energy Support on days when I need more energy and focus at work? What do you think of Korean and American ginseng for energy also?Are there any supplements or practices that benefit sleep when you know it will be frequently interrupted?Many thanks! Simon: Hello Dr Cabral, Simon here again! As above I am preparing for a period of reduced sleep and increased stress when our second baby arrives. I normally like to train frequently (mix of weights, calisthenics, yoga and cardio) and do want to keep fit over this period, however I am cautious not to impact my overall health and energy by adding additional stress to on my body and waring myself out. How would you approach exercise over this period? I am a Vata/Pita body type. Samantha: Hi Dr Cabral!Do you ever use Chaste tree in your practice for pms symptoms and/or to help stimulate progesterone in someone with estrogen dominance?Thank you so much! I just completed the big 5 labs and am working with one of your health coaches. :) Thank you again for all you do. I have learned so much through your podcasts and wouldn't be where I am today without you. Jessica: Hey Dr. Cabral, thanks for all you do! I am a healthy 36 year old female. For the past few years I have had two issues that I have tried to fix with a healthy diet and a decent amount of supplements that I take daily with no help. Firstly, I have horizontal ridges in my nails that are worst/deepest/sometimes only in my thumbs (which can get uncomfortable almost painful at times). Secondly, I lose a lot of hair, like a ton when I get out of the shower. Not sure if these items are related but they are both very frustrating. I workout every day (running or HIIT), I am vegan and gluten free, not really stressed, I've taken a food sensitivity test, and I take a bunch of vitamins daily. Any idea what could be causing this to happen? Thanks so much. Marissa: Hi Dr. Cabral. I’m hoping you can do a podcast or provide some advice on “red skin syndrome” aka topical steroid withdrawal. I’ve been withdrawing from corticosteroids for about 5 months now and am more than ready to be healed completely. Do you have any advice how I can speed up the process? Chris: Hi Dr Cabral,I have a perplexing situation that I hope you can shed some light on. This summer, my husband who has no known allergies, went for a run outside and after coming home and starting the cool down process, he broke out in hives all over his body, from head to toe. His face swelled up as well as his tongue (although no trouble breathing) and became super itchy on certain parts of his body. He took Bendadryl and a Pepcid AC (as prescribed by his sister, a nurse) and the reaction slowly went away over about a period of an hour or so. This happened twice during the heat. We assumed it was heat rash or he swiped against a bush and had a reaction to it, but then it just happened again in mid-October in Chicago on a very cool day. The only common denominator we can think of is that the night before he drank some beers and then went for a run the next day, however this would be odd to have a reaction when he's had beers several times throughout his adult life and then exercised the following day with no issues. He is 40 yrs old, in great shape with no known medical issues besides psorasis {for which he takes a monthly injection :(}. What could be causing this strange reaction? Thank you.

1751: Childhood Itch, Scalp Dry, Head Lice, Child vs. Adult Dosage, It May Not Be Lyme, Trimethylaminuria (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Carrie- Ann: Hello,You are a true inspiration. Thank you for changing this world one person at a time.I’ve been a wellness Chiropractor for almost 20 years now and I listen to your podcasts daily. I’m going to start your IHP program in 2021.My question is about my 9 year old daughter. She has been suffering from an itchy vagina for almost 12 months now and 2 months ago started also having an itchy anus too. She’s seen a very thorough naturopath who worked on healing her gut, parasites, homeopathic and more. None of this helped. We’ve changed to organic cotton underwear, use all natural laundry detergents and soaps, she has a very clean, organic diet with almost no dairy, gluten or soy. She takes probiotics, multivitamin and vitamin D and C daily. We’ve also tried some conventional treatments like canesten cream and over the counter worming tablets.A very quick history is my daughter was born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia and had surgery on day one of life. She was tube fed for 4 months (breastmilk) and on many drugs. After the age of 4 months she has never had another drug in her body and has never taken any antibiotics.Thank you so much for you knowledge and help. It’s so appreciated. Marc: Hi is there a test you can perform to see what may be causing my scalp to be dry and having excessive hair fall? Mo: Hope you’re doing well! My question today is about head lice. My daughter is 3 and her preschool told me that a child in her class has had head lice 2X now in the past 30 days. They stay away from school and come back when it’s gone but it keeps reoccurring. I’m concerned it'll spread to my daughter and I want to prepare myself in case anything happens. What would you recommend for kids if this happens? Thank you as always! Lorena: Hey Dr Cabral! Thank you so much for all of the knowledge that you share with all of us! My son is 12 and started doing the CBO for children. However, when I read the instructions it said that it’s recommended for children under 100lbs. He’s actually 110lbs (50kg) (his BMI is healthy). He’s very fit, eats very healthy, does a lot of sports, etc. Just wondering if maybe I made the wrong decision and he should have gone for the adult CBO? Thanks! Bryan: Hey doc! Love the videos, I want to ask your opinion on Lyme disease. My doctors told me I have fibromyalgia but I didn’t really believe it since I’m a 18 year old male who has had chronic migraines, stomach pains and fatigue for years and now so many symptoms one being crazy dizziness. So I went to see a functional medicine doctor and he told me he thinks it’s Lyme disease. He’s currently treating me with only herbs since he think antibiotics will do harm than good for me. What’s your approach to healing Lyme? Do I need to take antibiotics to fully recover? Thanks! Samantha: Hi Dr Cabral,If the activated B complex causes body odor unlike I have ever experienced and I'm absolutely sure it's this vitamin after lots of trial and error....would you recommend continuing to take it as this could be a sign of it doing its job detoxing the body? I read Choline has been associated with a fishy body odor, but only in individuals with a rare metabolic disorder known as trimethylaminuria. I wouldn't call the body odor smell fishy though. Just more pungent than ever before. :/Thank you oh so much! I tried to find the answer myself but feeling a little confused and wanted to ask the expert! :) Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1751 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

1745: Vitamin D & Tanning, Detox After Surgery, Boiling Out Toxins, Prolactinoma, Morning Erections Missing, Constant Diarrhea (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Marco: Hi there! You usually say that if an individual is getting a tan, then it means it is not necessary to supplement with vitamin D. Let's say I go overseas and I get really really tan and dark after 7 days, once I come back home (winter), the tan still lasts for around a month or two. Does this mean that I don't need to supplement with vitamin D for as long as I have the tan? I hope my question makes sense! Gabe: Hi Dr.Cabral, I was curious what your thoughts are on detoxing after surgery. I just got all four of my wisdom teeth out, and although I didn’t want to take it, I was in so much pain that I did end up taking the prescribed vicodin for a few days. I want to keep my body healthy, I’ve been taking healthy belly everyday since my tooth removal, and am looking to do my scheduled detox a week after my surgery (when I have no my pain and can eat normal foods). Do you think I’m on the right tract, do you have any additional recommendations to get my body back on track. I am also going to be traveling home for thanksgiving and want to be ready. Thanks!! Georgi: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you so much for your podcast. It truly has helped my family and I so much! At the moment, I’m buying bottled spring water, I know it’s not the best but I can’t afford a high quality filter right now. My question is, should I fill my kettle with tap water or bottled water? Is it ok to use tap, given that the water is boiled before it is consumed? My second question is, what about soups? Can I also use tap water or should I be using bottled spring water? Thank you so much! Erica: Hello!! Like everyone else always says... THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you share with us!I am a 36 yr old female with a 2 and 4 year old. I was diagnosed with elevated prolactin back in 2007 When I was lactating for no apparent reason. Did an mri with nothing amiss. I never really addressed the issue prior to children. Never had an issue getting pregnant til after my first and my period didn’t come back. I did another mri after my first child and it showed a 3 mm prolactinoma. I was then put on cabergoline and within 2 months was pregnant with my second and discontinued cabergoline. Anyway, fast forward and I had to go back on cabergoline to get my period back after my second child. I was on the medication for 1 year 3 months then had another mri and the prolactinoma is gone. I chose to be removed off the medication. I have been off for 3 months now and my prolactin is back elevated again.... only to 57 this time. Do you have any recommendations to keep the prolactinoma day bay and level out my prolactin? I desperately do not want to go back on cabergoline.I completed the big 5 a few months ago... but that was when I was on the medication so I feel like it didn’t give a good outlook on where my body stands naturally when it comes to my hormones Dexter: Hello Dr Cabral. My question is a tad sensitive but I wanna know if it's any cause for worry. Recently, over a pst fortnight or so, I realised I am not having natural nocturnal/morning erections upon waking up. I don't know if it's because I am always waking up outside REM cycle or another issue but is this a cause for concern? I am a fit, lean early 30's male, who uses Equilibrium supplements or those you recommend, eats healthily plus use muscle supplements to naturally aid testosterone production like Maca, ashwagandha, muira puama, l citrulline, arginine, tongkat Ali. So far there's no issue when I'm with my fiancée, just wanna know. Thanks for all that you do. Kati: Hi Dr. Cabral,Thanks for this opportunity, I really appreciate your input!We welcomed a 3 year old foster child into our family who has constant diarrhoea or very loose stool. We are in the process of getting him off gluten right now, he is almost completely dairy and sugar free. Only the meals at day care are out of our control. Also, we know that his development has been compromised during pregnancy and while living with his parents which might explain digestive malfunction.He gets a daily multi, probiotics and bentolite clay and as much fresh veggies as we can sneak in. Fruit seems to worsen his problem.Is there anything that you would recommend?Thank you so very much, I am excited to hear your advice!Kati Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1745 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1744: Down Syndrome Virus, Parasitic Infections, High Potassium, Become a Doctor vs. a Health Coach, Get Hired, Virus Protocol (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Korindi: My 15 year old daughter who has Down Syndrome was recently diagnosed with Hashimotos Encephalitis. She has had some major mental behavior changes. Before the world shut down she was a happy high functioning freshman and was even on the cheer squad. I have fought hard for a diagnosis knowing this was not DS related and something more was going on. Is there one test that you recommend more than the other to order for her? Also what supplements are best to lower the inflammation on her brain. I have an appointment for a endocrinologist and a rheumatologist. Is there anything else you would recommend? I need my daughter back. TIA Paula: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a level 2 student and am really enjoying all the material. I travel to Brazil quite often because my family lives over there and I'm getting a bit concerned about getting infected with parasites or H. pylori... I have a few questions that I hope you don't mind answering:1. When eating out over there, I'm pretty sure they make ice out of tap water and not mineral water. Should I be worried or does the freezing process kill parasites/H.pylori?2. How would I know if I get infected with H. pylori/parasites? Would I experience some sort of diarrhoea/stomach pain or not necessarily?3. Any tips to reduce my risk of getting infected? Any supplements?Thank you so much! Mo: Hi Dr Cabral! Hope all is well. Today I have a question about my fathers blood work. His monocytes came back at a 0.4, Eosinophils at 0.2 and Basophils at 0.0, Neutrophils 2.2, Lymphocytes 1.6. He's 56, did the 21 day Dr Cabral Detox, Heavy Metal Detox, Intestinal Cleanse 2x, and is finishing up the CBO right now. He will also be doing the Mold Protocol soon after. Hes taking all EQ brand: Adrenal soothe at night and Adrenal Energy in the morning, Omega 3, D3, Full Spectrum Magnesium,Balanced Zinc,FullSpec C. Hes slowly coming off hormone therapy so he'll be taking natural supplements to boost his test levels. His diet is exactly what you recommend. Hes lost 20KG since starting these protocols (he had a terrible diet before) and he feels great. Also, his Potassium level is 5.3. I'm just hoping for some insight as to whether these numbers are okay being this low/high or if he should do anything about it. Thank you as always, you are the best! Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral!I’m in my middle 20’s and I have a goal in mind to become a Functional Medicine doctor.I live in Europe so my only option is to going for the MD degree.I need your help with the details to put my mind at ease.How does it work with residency if you already know you want to practice functional medicine / integrative medicine?First it will be 5-6 years in med school, but what happens after that? Could I study FM after that and then open my practice or should I pick up a conventional residency first? And if, which one is most in line with FM?Sorry if the question isn’t that clear but I hope you get the point.You could answer the question in the way that if you where in my shoes, how would you be doing it if you know all what you know today (which is a lot, lol).I hope that you, your team and family has a wonderful day.God bless you! Olivia: Hello,I was wondering if you could let me know what courses/certifications I would need to complete in order to be considered as a potential candidate to be one of Dr Cabral's coaches? I have a very similar story (health derailed by long-term antibiotic use as a teenager, followed by long-term SSRI use). I've been on a personal journey of discovery for 25 years and have learned a great deal. Although I am a qualified personal trainer and yoga instructor, my knowledge includes aspects of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and I am passionate about biochemistry, in particular endocrinology. I would very much appreciate some guidance on how best to optimise my knowledge, so that I can serve others under the leadership of a physician such as Dr Cabral. Healing myself and helping others understand their bodies in order to optimise health is my calling.Thank you in advance for your time.Best wishes, Olivia Erin: Hi Dr Cabral! I’m a longtime fan of yours. I learn so much from you and my family knows of you as “my mentor” :). I went to see if your virus protocol is available but saw it was taken down. Ugh!! I can’t take the censoring anymore :/ are you making this available through email ? Thanks for all you do!

1738: Allergy Medication, Cooking Method Benefits, Craniosacral Therapy, Children’s Supplements, Zero Sex Drive (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Mat: Hello Dr. Cabral,Thank you for all the information you make available for free! For the past decade I have had dry patches of skin on my eyelids or arms during the winter. Usually this clears up by spring. This year it did not and only got worse during the summer, leading to a general allergies diagnosis and then an eczema diagnosis. After two rounds of topical and oral steroids I decided to try and find a root cause / actual cure rather than just treating symptoms. I tried Whole30 as a rudimentary food elimination diet, but didn't see any improvement, actually just further outbreak. A friend referred me to your podcast and I just completed the Parasite Protocol and I am in day 5 of the CBO Protocol now. I've cut out all histamine foods on the list as well after listening to one of your other podcast episodes on skin issues. I have been taking Claritin for the past 7 years due to being allergic to our dog and dust and dander. We no longer have our pup, but I've continued to take Claritin. I've listened to the 3 podcasts you have that mention Claritin, but I did not hear anything specific to Claritin itself. If you were in my shoes would you stop taking the Claritin? I'm reading through the Rain Barrel Effect and wondering if this is contributing to my rain barrel. Thank you! Meghan: Hi Dr Cabral,I wanted to say thank you for all that you do, you are such an inspiring mentor and creating real change and giving us all hope which is invaluable. My question today is around grains and inflammation. I understand that grains can be inflammatory however I would like to better understand why. When I eat grains in consecutive days I get an arthritic pain in my right shoulder and within a few days of going off grains it goes away. I have recently finished the CBO Protocol and currently on the heal and seal protocol but would like to know how can I get my body to a point to tolerate grains without inflammation? Why does this happen? Thank you Anton: Hi Dr Cabral!I’m a long time listener and follower of yours.I have listened to all of your podcast, I’m a IHP student, and I also used the search page on your website, but I couldn’t find the answer.Does in which way you cook your food affect nutrition values and digestion? Take an potato as an example, what’s the different between a steamed, grilled in oven or cooked in water potato?Keep up the great work, you are the GOAT!I hope you know what that means, it’s a compliment ;-)! Anton: Hi again Dr Cabral.Last question for today!I have a history of concussions and for me Craniosacral Therapy work by an Osteopath has been terrific for changing my fight and flight into calmness and peacefulness.I couldn’t find that you have talked about it before, I would love to hear your opinion about it.I will continue doing it no matter what you have to say about it though ;-)!Thanks again, you are the GOAT ;-)! Mo: Hi Dr. Cabral, its Mo again! Today I am reaching out in regards to my daughter. She is 3 years old and I wanted some advice on a children's multivitamin, probiotics and Omega 3. I usually give her MetaKids Multi Soft Chew by Metagenics, and a small amount of the Omega 3 supplement from EQ and I also give her the Genestra Brands children's Probiotics. Are these okay for her? Please recommend anything you think she should take, brands, supplements, anything. I wish EQ had more children products (hopefully soon?).As always, thank you for your time, efforts, advice, knowledge, and everything you do for the world.ps. some mornings she sits with me watches your new videos! Cheers Mo Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. I’m a male in the middle 20’s. I know I have gut issues and candida overgrowth, I have ordered the CBO protocol and the CBO finisher, and I will soon start it. I don’t diagnose myself, it’s not allowed on the Cabral concept, but I have literally zero sex drive. My scrotum is literally hanging down to the floor and it feels like my body is 100 years old in that area. Could candida overgrowth affect this situation or are there other things I should rebalance in my body? This has been hard emotionally for me because I had this issue many years. It’s not that fun to have no interest in dating when you are in your 20’s but I try to stay positive, one day it will get better. Thanks Stephen you are my hero.

1737: Chlorinated Pools, Shaky Muscles, Open Detox Pathways, Weak Bladder, Headaches, Salad Dressing Stability, PUFAs (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jen: Dr. Cabral, firstly I want to thank you for providing a place where you share your wealth of knowledge so that we can learn from you, understand the science and make the best choices to become our best selves.I have been listening to you for a couple of months now, found you through FASTer Way and met you at our conference last December. I did some labs myself and am taking steps to find the root cause of my symptoms and get better. My question today, however, is about one of my kids. I have a 16 year old son who is a competitive swimmer and easily spends 15 – 20 hours a week in a chlorinated pool. He is very fit, very little body fat, eats fairly healthy (although we are working to improve that – a 16 yr old athlete eats a lot!). I know that chlorine is not good for us and can disrupt our hormones. I read that as a halogen, chlorine, fluorine and bromine are similar enough to iodine that they can be absorbed by the thyroid instead of iodine and displace the iodine. Spending this much time in the water, what is the best course of action to take? Should we put him on the Daily Thyroid Balance, will this be enough to help? Should we test Thyroid levels first, are there foods he can eat to help minimize the effect of all this extra chlorine, any other protocols to consider? Jenna; I'm currently in the IHP program and loving it! Question about exercise: I myself have been an avid yogi my whole life and so I find myself doing an hour vinyasa class a 2-3 times a week so my first question is whether that would be considered a workout day in your eyes or if you think more is needed, especially since my body is very accustomed to yoga. The other thing I wanted your opinion on is barre, if you are familiar with this workout (mainly women do it) as it's micro movements of the muscles instead of full range, and also very high rep/ low weight during the arms section of the class. The instructors encourage shaking of the muscles as a sign that we're fatiguing the muscles to their limit, and is explained as a good thing. Thoughts? Cindy: Dr. Cabral, I am “the Cindy” from Cabral Concept 1339 (Oct 6, 2019). You said that using DNP Level 2 or 3 - for 4 months would raise one’s levels to normal. Well, I believed you… and I still do bc I also took your recommendation to test. It has taken 4 years, but I did it! I have completed EN CBO, EN heavy metal detox, EN Mold Detox, and several EN 7 day detoxes. Fatigue with brain fog and migraines have been real problems for me. But I rarely have it now. I’ve used EN DN Protocol, level 2, sometimes level 3, consistently for over a year (since moving back to the U.S.), and on and off for about 2 years… and I feel blessed! And finally, I ran the big 5! On Nov 3rd, I will get the results. My guess is … probably still some mold - since I seem very sensitive in that area… and hormones! I still sneeze a lot (histamine issue) if I don’t take zyrtec. And I will always need to focus on detox pathways since I am MTHFR positive with 70% decreased enzyme activity. Thyroid ultrasound shows my thyroid is small/flat… but I believe it still works because my thyroid medication has decreased. I do have a question related to the SMART DNA test I ran through EN. With methylation (MTHFR) and Liver Detoxification (COMT), the lab states “2 and 16 Urinary Oestrogen Metabolites.” ?????? Cindy: I do have a question related to the  DNA test I ran through EN. With methylation (MTHFR) and Liver Detoxification (COMT), the lab states “2 and 16 Urinary Oestrogen Metabolites.” What does this mean? I have such a weak bladder (always getting up at least 1X during the night), great urgency sporadically during the day, especially when I am doing EN 7 day Detox. Is this related? Any ideas on what causes my weak bladder? About 20 years ago, I had a bladder volume test; that was normal.Again, thank you for all you do to help people learn.I want listeners to know that you create your health each day with every choice. So many health stories are sad, but there are also lots of wins out there! You may share any of my lab data or use any of it with research. Cindy: Another question… I am probably pitta-vata in body structure. But after 2 years of poor sleep, reduced exercise, increased stress, and 4 years of living in a moldy house… I accumulated 7 prescription medications, brain fog, fatigue, and 25 extra pounds. I have taken thyroid medication for over 20 years, but never felt any symptoms until my 40s. After 4 years of learning and focusing on real health, I feel great! I used Fatlosity for 5 months, lost a few pounds, gained it back, lost it again, kept it off… and then seemed stuck. I eat healthy & live a healthy lifestyle. I have energy to exercise and don’t crash afterwards! I believe my weight struggle is hormonal now, so the big 5 labs will give me direction in that. I still have 10-15 pounds to lose. I still have pain in the bottom and top of my feet, at times and recently headaches have started again. These headaches occurred while I was slowly losing fat. Many times, while having a headache, I would use a coffee enema and yes, my HA would go away. Is it possible that these HA were caused by toxins in my fat being released? Any thoughts are much appreciated! Blessings & Aloha! Dr. Cabral, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I hope soon there will be a place for "Cabral's Good News"-a place for healing stories. Anton: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for the amazing work you are doing, you have impacted my life for the greater.A short question today,Is it okay to mix olive oil and lemon juice in the morning in a little dark glass bottle, and than eat it for lunch?What I mean is if the lemon juice will increase the oxidation if the olive oil?Have a great day! Jody: Hello Dr. Cabral, I like to come to you for the latest health and wellness information. I have recently come across many disturbing articles/podcasts discussing the issue of lipofuscin and the use of PUFAs and omega 3 fish oil (specifically DHA) these articles state that these fatty acids are toxic and most of use are supplementing if not mega dosing. Please give us your feedback here thank you!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1737 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

1731: Vitamin Deficiencies, Increase Stomach Acid, Copper Deficiency, Stressful Workout Programs, Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Matt: Hi Dr Cabral.We just think you're 'the man' in our house. Your no BS approach to delivering education and knowledge has made such a massive impact on our lives - thank you. I have had trouble with psoriasis in the past. It has reduced over the years to only behind my ears. In recent times I have developed various white patches on my legs mainly. The hair on these patches have also turned white. These patches seem to be in places where I have had old scars, previous psoriasis and even a birth mark. I recently received results from a hair tissue analysis (in Australia) which showed extensive food intolerances and vitamin deficiencies such as A, K and E. Could you please give me some insight into what this might be caused from? My wife and I are planning to complete some of your protocols. Thank you for your continued drive and passion. Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral! I’ve listened to pretty much all of your podcasts including those where you talk about low stomach acid. You’ve spoken about all the causes of low stomach acid and how to help with it such as digestive enzymes and ginger tea. What about actually increasing stomach acid directly? Is it possible to do this naturally? Micy: Hello Dr. Cabral, is it possible to get histamine toxicity from a probiotic supplement? Example 100 Billion CFU. Lou: Dear Dr Cabral,I love your show, thank you for putting your word out there!I am a member of my local Weston A Price Foundation Chapter and attended a workshop where one of the speakers (Morley Robbins - AKA Magnesium Man) shared his research on minerals. In a nutshell he claims that humans have excess unbound iron and are severely copper deficient - that serum iron measures the empty iron transporters giving us a false reading. He asserts most have chronic magnesium deficiencies. His research showed that Retinol deficiencies cause abnormal metabolism of iron - that excess unbound iron and stored Vit D create destructive hydroxyl radicals among other negative interactions!All that to say -- he states that lack of ceruloplasmin, the protein that transports copper, is a vital part of human health - and most often the culprit in MS, Auto Immune Disease, Fatigue, Depression, Anxiety, Hormone Imbalances etc...In layman's terms, he says our livers are toxic with excess iron and cannot make enough ceruloplasmin to transport bio-available copper causing MOST chronic disease. This is a tall order! I've heard most of your podcasts and this is an area you don't speak of and since you are my go-to source of wellness information I would love to hear your thoughts.Thank you very much. Tina: Hi Dr Cabral! I am currently on the end of the CBO protocol, and have found it has helped a lot with my digestive issues/bloating, however I still seem to have bloating in my lower stomach. Over the past 6-8 months I have also seemed to put on around 25-30lbs despite eating healthy and exercising. I am in my 20s too. I was doing some research into hypothyroidism and feel as though I may be experiencing it (I did do a hormone test with your clinic, but my hormone numbers didn't ring any major alarm bells). My main symptoms are loss of period for 2-3 years, weight gain, very swollen lympth nodes in neck, water retention/puffy face, fatigue, dry skin on my face (my skin is normally oily), very sensitive to the cold but sweat easy, loss of motivation and sadness. My minerals test with your clinic showed I had low selenium as well. My question is, if I am looking to lose weight, is something such as your Fatlossity diet and workout plan going to be safe for me to do? I do very well with structure and find the manual you wrote for Fatlossity very extensive which I love. I am worried however that I may "stress" my body too much (however my cortisol levels came back OK on my test). I have struggled with controlling my sugar lately as well and feel like i'm not living in my own body. M: Hello, I was diagnosed with SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction) during my first day pregnancy — as far as I understand it means by body produces too much relaxin causing the symphysis in my pubic bone to become too loose. It caused me a lot of hip/pelvis/sciatic nerve problems that resolved after I delivered. I am into my second pregnancy and have been doing daily yoga and stretches as I’ve been directed but I was wondering if there is something more I can be doing? Thanks in advance!

1730: Dermatitis, B-Vitamins & Anxiety, Polymyalgia Rhuematica, Bioresonance Scans, Yeast Overgrowth (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Michael: Hello Dr. Cabral, why does my dermatitis get worse when I eat dairy, gluten or grains? If I do consume those foods I also get dandruff, joint pain, muscle aches, anxiety and brain fog? What should I do to resolve this? Thank you. Michael: Hello Dr. Cabral, what would be the cause of b vitamins causing me to get shortness of breath and anxiety? Luke: Hi, Dr. Cabral!I'm writing on behalf of my mom. She's 65 years old, 115 lbs, 5'1. She was diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rhumatica (PMR) about 9 years ago after a few very stressful incidents, (and a very high-stress life in general). She took Prednisone for SIX YEARS, starting on 15mg and eventually tapering down to 2mg. Then she transitioned to low-dose Naltrexone for 2 years, and is now off medication entirely. The severe body pain went away, but her blood pressure is now extremely high, sometimes 180/60. We've been measuring it over the course of several months with little change. She also suffers from a lot of bone loss. We did the 21 day detox, but it's honestly very hard to get her take in enough nutrition. No junk food, but very little nutrition in her diet and almost no exercise. I'd really love to get her blood pressure down and then help her apply the parts of the DESTRESS protocol that she's ready for, but as you know, it's very hard to get family to listen to you when it comes to their health...ESPECIALLY with exercise! What would you recommend? Michael: Hello Dr Cabral, I was taking a probiotic supplement of 100 billion bfu. Within days I started To feel itchy skin, dry eyes, constipation nausea, anxiety and many more symptoms. It’s been a week since I stopped taking the supplement and I’m still symptomatic do you know what would be the cause ? Melissa: Hello,I wondering what your thoughts were on energetic testing as a tool for finding root causes? Certainly functional testing reveals a lot, but I've seen several people uncover dis-ease with things like applied kinesiology aka muscle testing, bioresonance scans, Zyto scans, frequency testing etc, that even functional lab work has missed. Can you explain how those work and if they are at odds with functional testing or complementary to it? Thank you! Ron: Hi I am a 59-year-old male I have been chronically ill for 30 years.I have been everywhere tried just about everything. Recently had a swack of tests done by integrated Medicine Dr and I have been diagnosed with leaky gut, Leaky Brain, and Autoimmune issues.I have also been unsuccessful in trying to follow doctor's instructions for the last 8 months mostly on a mold protocol. I recently was trying to purchase Mega spore probiotics and was told By an integrated pharmacist that she would need to see me first . She did not give me the probiotics but wanted to work on some stuff first. On my recent visit when I told her I had to take crazy amounts of Biotin to survive my liver would even ache she replied I think you have a fungal infection. So we are not just talking yeast in the intestinal tract we are talking yeast switching to fungus and penetrating the intestinal wall and spreading through the whole Body. I have heard Dr Cabral talk about fixing the Gut I would be interested in hearing if he knows how to fix this or if he knows someone who could help me. Please get back to me ASAP as I am desperate. If you are looking for a challenge it has arrived.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1730 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

1724: Eye Twitching, Probiotic Histamine Reactions & Die Off, Quail Eggs, 21-Day Elimination Diet, Applied Kinesiology & Muscle Testing (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Krystal: Hello Dr. Cabral! I’m experiencing some eye twitching. It started a few months ago during quarantine and lasted at least 3 months. It happened everyday and ALL day! Super annoying to say the least. It finally went away randomly but now I’m getting it again. It doesn’t last as long but it happens at random times of the day. I drink your shake every morning and just started your adrenal soothe and estrogen supplement (started both of these products after the eye twitching). Hope you can help! Thanks! Michael: Hello I have a question I’ve been using probiotics for over a year to help with my digestive system. A month ago I took caprylic acid 600 mg for seven days and I started to experience die off symptoms. A week later I try to introduce probiotics again but it seems like I had a histamine reaction. Do you believe the caprylic acid has something to do with it? Can probiotics cause histamine reactions or Candida overgrowth? Paula: Hi Dr Cabral! What are your views in quail eggs? Do you think people will usually react less quail eggs compared to chicken eggs? Are they generally less reactive or is it the same thing? Alice: Absolutely loving all of your work. You are so knowledgable. What an inspiration. My question is: For those that are moving to the CBO straight from the 21 day detox, do we need to start counting the days from zero again? In order words, would we have to wait another 21 days to start eating the grains for example? Or could we count the 21 days in the detox as part of the CBO too? This would mean that by the end of the detox, I could reintroduce eggs after one week? Kels: I am wondering if you have had any experience with applied kinesiology/muscle testing? I searched for it in podcasts and nothing showed up. I recently got a job in this chiropracter's office that also does a lot of muscle testing to figure out what is wrong with people. I will be doing my own research on the side but I really respect your opinion on health topics so wanted to ask you yours regarding this reflex therapy.

1723: Roll on Neck, Blood Sugar & Insulin, Sink Water Filter, Magnesium Causes Poor Sleep, Pumfu, Estrogen & Nausea, IQAir (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Cynthia: Hi Dr Cabral, have been a long time listener, and have been sharing as many podcasts with loved ones as possible, really appreciate your work.My 24 year old son has a roll on the back on his head, which is on his scalp that has been there since junior high. It did seem to start when he started to gain weight. He is currently about 80-100lbs overweight. He is starting the 21 day detox and open to working on his health and well-being. Although I don’t think it’s a medical issue, it has been causing insecurity, and taking a toll on his confidence. Also, with having a large amount of weight to lose, could he have a slow metabolism? Should he be concerned about hormones, and what would be causing this extra roll of skin? Other than the detox, what steps should he prepare for? Dawn: Hi Dr Cabral!Thank you so much for all of your information. I’m a huge fan of yours! I have a question about a Blood sugar and a A1C. I recently did the Mood, Stress, and Metabolism lab and it revealed that I have high cortisol throughout the day. My estrogen and progesterone are also low(although I am only 32 years old). I have a blood glucose monitor at home, which I often check throughout the day. It shows that my fasted blood level is generally high (between 90-100), even though I eat a very healthy diet with no processed carbs or sugar. I started getting frustrated with these results because I know that there is not much else I can do as far as cleaning up my diet since it is already very clean, unprocessed(and low starchy carb). I came to the conclusion that my blood sugar is high because of my cortisol. However, the lab test results also showed that my hemoglobin A1C was only 4.2, and my insulin was 3.6, which are both within range. I’m confused as to why my blood sugar constantly tests so high (even when fasted), but my hemoglobin and insulin tested normal on my lab. Should I still be concerned about what the blood glucose monitor is telling me? Thank you so much for you insight, and sending lots of love and support from New York City! Jessi: What is the best at home water filter to install under your sink? or for the entire home? I know clean water is so important and I don't think our fridge filter is cutting it.What is the best home sauna? a pre-fab model similar that could be hooked up to a regular outlet?Thank you for ALL you do and the truth you share. We need more people like you. Joey: Hello Dr.Cabral, I have a question about magnesium supplementation. I have never had any signs of magnesium deficiency (cramps, high BP, high sugar, headaches) and my daily magnesium intake according to Cronometer is about 600mg.Yet, hearing the positive effects of magnesium left & right, I tried to supplement daily with about 200mg on top of my dietary intake. I’ve tried Mg citrate, Mg glycinate as well as your full spectrum Mg. Every time, regardless of magnesium form, after several days, I’ve always developed sleeping troubles (waking in the middle of the night, not being able to go back to deep sleep). After discontinuing the Mg supplement, my sleep would always return to normal. How come magnesium supplements (only 200mg daily) has the opposite effect on me regarding sleep, than what is suppose to have? Did you experience that with any of your patients? Adrianne: Hi Dr Cabral! I trust your judgement. Please tell us what you think of Pumfu. It's like tofu but the only ingredients are pumpkin seeds and water. It's obviously processed but I'm loving the ingredients list. Any thougts? Sharon: Hi , My daughter Anna is following a 12week protocol from Erica for estrogen imbalance and cortisol imbalance due to the test results she had. Anna thinks the Estrogen Balance supplements are causing nausea. She has been taking them for 3 weeks now. Is this normal? Should she just continue with the supplements and see if it stops?Thanks so much,Sharon Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral,I was curious if you are still pleased with your IQAir filter and if you would continue to recommend getting one. I am in the market for a new one to clean the air and also curious how well the IQAir does with smelly odors such as streamed broccoli :) Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1723 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Joey: Hello Dr.Cabral, I have a question about magnesium supplementation.

How come magnesium supplements (only 200mg daily) has the opposite effect on me regarding sleep, than what is suppose to have? Did you experience that with any of your patients? Kari: Hi Dr. Cabral,I live in the Central Valley of CA. We have been called the bread-basket of the world but are also known at the #1 worst region for particle pollution in the United States, according to the American Lung Association. I know you won't read this question for at least another 6 weeks, but my home is currently surrounded by the Creek Fire.My family is under an evacuation warning and this wildfire has burned 250,000 acres of our backyard. It is raining ash and the air quality is horrible. I was wondering what you could recommend to stay healthy during these difficult times. The air quality is usually bad here, but now it's on another level and is bothering people without underlying respiratory issues. My husband is a first responder and works 16-hour shifts outdoors. Is there anything he can do to protect himself and his lungs while working in such a toxic environment?Some of my families symptoms include burning eyes, congestion, shortness of breath, headache, and general fatigue. Thank you for any information or products you may recommend!!! The only recommendations we've received is to "stay inside". We could use all the help we can get to stay healthy living here in the valley.Thank you for being you!-Kari Mo: Hey Dr Cabral!It’s Mo again lol, my question today is about the estrogen balance product you have.Do you ever recommend that for men to use and if so, on what occasions?As always thank you so much for your time and knowledge! Greatly appreciate it! Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral,Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I really really appreciate all you do and you have helped me to learn so much.Both my daughters suffer with croup every year during the winter here in the Uk. Their breathing gets so bad that we have to call for an ambulance and then they are normally given dexamethasone.They take a multivitamin, dha and probiotic daily. Should I increase vitamin c or other vitamin during periods of illness and if so what dosages do you recommend for a 2 and 5 year old? Also does dexamethosone have any side effects or do my children need to take any extra vitamins/probiotics after having it?Thank you so much Sarah Ron: Hi I have been chronicly ii for 30 years,I am 59 year old male have been to clinics all over and different treatments. I have come to the conclusion I have a deep fungus infection in blood and organs,I have heard there is no cure for that only management,I would like not to believe that and would like your opinion if you are looking for a challenging case it has just arrived. Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral:)I’m wondering what you think about face mapping - do the “spots” or redness (sometimes even something resembling a rash?) depending on where on the face it always shows really tell you what is most wrong with you inside? Like, which organs are having the most trouble working properly etc.? I’ve seen it on social media several times now and I’m wondering if there’s any significance there..Thank you and lots of love to you, your family and all your listeners.. happy healing everyone! :) Paula: Hi Dr Cabral. I am a level 2 IHP student and am absolutely loving it. I love how it’s not only ‘teaching’ but you also share a lot of personal things and it gives the course so much “life”. I’m not sure that makes a lot of sense but hopefully it does haha! Anyways, I was wondering if you could share a little bit of your experience formulating products for Equilibrium. I am interested in doing something very similar and would love if you could shed some light on this topic. Given your background in biochemistry, I’m sure you already had good knowledge in terms of what ingredients to use but what about the specific amounts of each vitamin/herb/mineral? Is this something you did by yourself or did you get help from a chemist? I want to learn from the BEST so this is why I’m asking you. I just want something that will help me get started.

1716: Isometric Exercises, Refrigerator Water Filter, Referrals, Tonsil Stones, Detox Prep, Periods & Eczema/Rosacea Connection (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Patrick: Hey Dr. Cabral huge fan love your podcast and all the work that your doing. I Go to the gym about 3 days a week and hit the weights for about 30 minutes . I never heard you mention anything about isometric exercises can you go over some of the pros and cons. I’m just looking to switch up doing the same thing all the time and maybe get more toned and increase strength. Thanks again for all you do. Cynthia: Hello! I've been hearing quite a bit about water filtration. I have a water filter built into my refrigerator, and was wondering if you have a recommendation for the type of filter I should purchase, or if the standard filter is sufficient in providing clean drinking water? Liz: I am currently in the midst of my 2nd round of the 7 day detox and love it (maybe not the first 2 days....) I am a graduate of IIN, trainer and currently work for Beautycounter which I'm sure you are familiar with - our high standard for clean living which goes hand in hand with yours. With that said, I am wondering if you have a referral program for the detox program. I recently have referred 12 people for the 7 day detox so I have to ask as I know many other companies that do have this. I love the products (I've also tried Fatlossity and love listening to Dr. Cabral's podcasts.). Please let me know if this is something you offer.Thanks. - Liz Melanie: Hi, Dr. Cabral. Thank you for helping me and my family transform how we feed and take care of our bodies. I subscribe to numerous wonderful supplements on EquilibriumNutrition.com.Can you please help me with the rarely discussed and horrible "Tonsil Stones?" I know you don't have your tonsils so you probably do not have any experience with these. I however, still have mine and struggle to stay on top of expressing these from the back of my mouth. Is there anything that can help control their formation? Serena: Hello doctor Cabral,I'm about to have my first colonic ever and I really want to make the best out of it - I want to flush away as much yeast/bacteria/parasites/toxins as possible. Do you have any tips on foods and supplements to use prior to the procedure, in order to get this waste moving and maximise the detox?Also, is there anything else that advise would advise on doing prior and after colonics as far as the diet/exercise/lifestyle is concerned?Thanks in advance for your help and answers!Serena Anna: Hi Dr Cabral! Have you ever seen a correlation between periods and eczema/rosacea? I've noticed that I get the worse flare-ups at the exact time every month. Is this even possible?

1710: Detox Info, Knuckles Inflamed, Solar Time Calculator Diet, CBO Options, Oil Pulling & Dehydration, Hormone-Free Birth Control (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Andrea: Hey there! I heard you speak on Christine Hasslers podcast. I was wondering if you have more info on detoxing, specifically, the basics like you spoke about on her podcast.Thank you. Michelle:Hi Dr. Cabral!Thank you so much for everything you do to change people's lives. You have definitely made mine better since discovering you and your practice!The knuckle on my pinkies (moreso my left pinky than my right) is inflamed and has progressively gotten larger over the past couple years. I'm only 35, am in good shape, I have done 3 of your detoxes, and am on the last month of the CBO protocol. I notice my knuckles feel tighter and larger when I eat simple carbohydrates, but even on the detoxes and CBO protocols I don't see the knuckles getting smaller.My paternal grandmother had rheumatoid arthritis and her fingers ended up going in many different directions. Is there any way to stop the trend of my knuckles enlarging, and even more importantly, can I reverse it?Thanks again for everything and I look forward to your answer!Sincerely,Michelle Yvonne: Do you know anything about Sun Sync Nutrition and the Solar Time Calculator diet - work with your body's natural rhythms dictated by solar time to experience profound physical, mental, and spiritual health? I would like to know more about this - what it is, how it works, etc - can't seem to find out any more information unless you pay for it. Andrew: Dear Dr. Cabral,I’ll make this as short as possible. For those who are under extreme financial hardship and can’t run labs and also can’t afford protocols at this time, what do you suggest to help those who are most likely suffering from some type of gut imbalance? I’ve heard you say it doesn’t go away on it’s own. Is the CBO protocol the only option for correcting this ? Likewise, is there any methods of correcting hormonal imbalances other than lowering stress without the ability to purchase correcting supplements or protocols? Basically what can we do at home to help in these areas for people with very limited funds even if it’s for a temporary period of time till they are more financially stable? Im a huge fan of your work but it’s been extremely frustrating not being able to purchase things I’m sure can help me. This is why I try to absorb all the information you provide us and so thankful for that.Sincerely,Andrew Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral, I’m a big fan and I’m making my way through all your educational podcasts, I have learned so much. Thank you so much for what you do.I have recently added oil pulling to my morning routine but when I wake up I feel very dehydrated and I want to drink a lot of water. Would drinking water in the morning before oil pulling move the bacteria build up from the mouth back into the body? What are your thoughts?Thank you. Chelsea: Hi Dr Cabral,I have been in search of a hormonal free birth control, and found a product called Phexxi. It contains lactic acid (1.8%), citric acid (1%), and potassium bitartrate (0.4%) that is inserted vaginally before sex. I wanted to see what your thoughts are on it and if you thought those ingredients are safe. Thanks for all your knowledge. Love love your podcast Ryan: Hello Dr. Cabral I hope this question finds you well. Possible solutions for early morning calf cramps? In the later stages of my sleep my calf’s have been cramping up. I have been taking cal-mag before bed and was wondering if it could be a magnesium or hydration issue? Thanks! Ryan: Hello again, I wanted to ask one more question. What are your thoughts on the use of using psychedelics for healing remedies? I have heard you speak on the subject once but more or so wanted to know if the use of LSD, being synthetic, is less optimal than the use of an organic magic mushroom for example. Would you still consider LSD or acid as having potentially healing properties?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1710 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1709: Severe Eczema, Sun Salutations, Rashes on Arms, Emotional Period Symptoms, Laser Hair Removal, Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Sam: Hi Dr Cabral! I suffer from severe eczema and have listened to all of the episodes where you’ve mentioned it. You say that usually it’s caused by a food sensitivity but I have done an igG food sensitivity test and have eliminated all of the foods that I was sensitive to and even though I saw a minor improvement, I continue to get rashes all over my body. Is it ONLY caused by food sensitivities or could it also be because of some sort of gut issue such as candida overgrowth? Thank you so much. Aaron: I have heard you talk about doing sun salutations. Internet searches show variations of the sun salutation, and I was wondering if you have links, recommendations, or your own books or videos demonstrating proper technique for this movement. Your podcast on sun salutations has a graphic, but without a description of how to form the different poses, when to breath, etc., I am a little confused.If your source also has a good book or video for how to practice kundalini yoga I would greatly appreciate that too!You've mentioned you listen to binaural beats and I would really like to know more. Internet searches for binaural beats produce random new age psychadelic videos and sounds, but these don't specify what frequencies you are hearing, which ear you are hearing them in, or why those beats were chosen. Where do you get your binaural beats, why did you choose them, and what frequencies do you recommend for different stages of healing?Sorry for the long questions. I appreciate your efforts and all you and your team do. Nick:Hi guys , we are leading a plant based primarily and feel as though we are adhering to a healthy lifestyle. my wife Is experiencing bad eczema on her arms . She has not experienced this befor in her life even when she was lead a far un healthy lifestyle and diet.Really hoping for some advice and tying to work out what is the root cause of this , so that we can adjust something to make it better for her.. Susannah:Hi doctor Cabral,I have a quick question: about a week before my period I start feeling a bit more 'emotional' and 'down'. My mood and energy are very low, and it seems like doing anything becomes just a bit more difficult. I know that this is more or less normal and has to do with hormone levels dropping fast. I try getting more movement and sunlight in this period, but are there any natural remedies or supplements that you can recommend to take during this week, in order to make these simptoms less severe?Thanks so much in advance for your answer! Kristy: Hello Stephen, I just want to thank you for your podcast and sharing your wealth of knowledge with us all! Im not sure if this question has been asked before (I did try and search) but is Laser hair removal safe? Thank you so much :) Darcy: I have a severe flare up of eczema on occasion probably due to stress as my diet is pretty good most of the time. The only person I know who gets it worse is a cousin who had to be on prednisone a few times due to how bad the breakouts were. My question is he has used one or two drops of 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide in a glass of distilled water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for 3 or 4 days and it has cleared his breakout up. Is this safe? Have you heard of this for? What are the pros and cons? I googled it and saw things like stroke and seizures come up from oxygen bubbles being created in the blood I think? I am assuming that would be a large amount of pure HP. It works for him so I wanted to try it.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1709 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

1703: Trichotillomania, HRT for Men, Methotrexate for RA, Fasted Blood Sugar, Wine on CBO Protocol, Thomas Rau, Float Tanks & Float Therapy (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Kayla: My 9 year old son has been anxious and possibly dealing with depression post covid 19. I have noticed that he has started to pull out his hair (Trichotillomania), I was wondering if you can recommend any natural supplements for anti-depressants for anxiety, depression, and adhd? Thank you.  Dar: Hey Dr. Cabral. Hope all is all well with you and your family. I am well aware there's no silver bullet and aging is an inevitable natural process but for men 40+ is there anything they can take to maintain/increase muscle mass, fitness gains, sex drive, performance without resorting to HRT? Maybe it's vanity but I knew what I was capable of naturally, the physique and performances are slowly regressing. I am an otherwise healthy person, I use your supps, follow your men's guide to fitness and they're really good and I'm forever grateful but I see some of my peers on HRT who look better than and claim they're performing better than they were in their 20's. I don't want to go that far because I don't know future side effects. Are there any at all? Anyway, keep up great work. Nicole: Can you start the CBO protocol while taking methotrexate for RA? My mom takes SQ injection 1x per week. She has never tested positive for RA markers but has been sick for couple years now and no doctors could find the answers so they say she has the s/s of RA. Her s/s are severe joint pain and swelling in right wrist, fatigue, frequent diarrhea, brain fog, acne, random rashes/skin issues that come and go, anxiety/depression, body aches and just never feels good. She used to have horrible allergies/sinus infections almost year round that have improved since she changed her diet. She tries to eat paleo but does cheat and feels sick when she does. She mainly cheats on sweats because she craves sugar. This all started after 2 unexpected tragic losses in her life followed by a clostridium difficile infection. She received antibiotics for this and many for prior sinus infections. She is retired on fixed income and can't afford testing but hoping she can start a protocol. Where would you start? Doctor also has her on magnesium citrate should she continue this during protocal.Thank you for sharing your gift with others! Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral,I notice when I wake up in the morning, my blood sugar often ranges from 83-110 which I heard is not optimal. I know you mentioned 16+hour fasts are not right for everyone. I am a 37yo female, lean, mostly vata / pitta, who has low progesterone. When I tested with your team, my A1C was right at the borderline around 5.6. Do you recommend fasting until my blood sugar goes below 80 or breaking the fast even when my blood sugar is elevated? Lorena: I’m so frustrated Dr Cabral! I did the CBO Protocol after finding some yeast in the OAT and after completing it, I did another OAT 3 weeks later to check that it was gone. The OAT results were even worse! It showed more yeast and now even Clostridia markers that I didn’t have before! How is that even possible? When I finished the CBO I went to Greece and yes, was having one glass of wine every night and a lot of Greek salads which as you probably know, involves a lot of onion. I don’t know if that was the issue or what happened but I was very strict when following the CBO. What do I do now? Do I do it again? I really cannot believe this… Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :)Thank you for this podcast, it is so informative & amazing, helps so much and also we can learn a lot about health and healthy living.. I cannot go a day without it!My question today is about Swiss biological medicine and dr. Thomas Rau.. I finally started working with a nutritionist who is a certified Paracelsus health practitioner and she uses his protocols and knowledge.. are you familiar with his work considering he is one of the leading biological medicine people in Europe? I would love to know your opinion on his work and protocols (which can be similar to what you preach) and maybe you could invite him to be on your podcast on a Thursday talks with Cabral? :)Thank you for all your answers and hard work, love to all,Lara Darren: Hey, good day Dr. Cabral. What are your thoughts on float tanks/float therapy and sensory deprivation tanks? Are the supposed benefits real or not? Keep up great work   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1703 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1702: One Day Stool Test, Liquid BMs, Mast cell Activation, Chronic IBS-D, Myasthenia Gravis, Abdominal Pain (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Haley: This is my favorite podcast and love starting my days learning from you, thank you! For your product review, I would love your thoughts on the BiomeFX lab. My doctor wants me to do this lab, and I would love a second opinion. I had a parasitic infection a few years ago and most recently, candida overgrowth (but no detected parasites one year ago). I haven't done any labs in a year, and I think I may still have candida overgrowth and would like to know if I also have parasites/mold toxicity. Thank you for your input since you're truly an expert!Link to lab recommended by naturopath: https://microbiomelabs.com/home/products/biomefx/?gclid=CjwKCAjw4rf6BRAvEiwAn2Q76rUMGdGLWsVkKLG-3UMEZsumpfbOOposiy48CVX3I--OQcvucYHFkhoCEGMQAvD_BwE Mo: Hey Dr Cabral, Mo here again! My question today has to do with bowel movements. I did the 21 day detox, the parasite protocol and the intestinal cleanse. Doing the CBO as well with GSE drops. I’ve been noticing that the past couple weeks instead of my normal 2-3 bowel movements which were all solid and formed properly, I’m getting only one bowel movement (first one) that is formed and normal. The other 1-2 after are either liquid or very small bits. I haven’t changed anything in my meals. I literally eat the same meals everyday, breakfast lunch and dinner everyday is the same. Smoothie (purple crush), Mediterranean lunch and dinner. Any ideas what this might be for? I don’t ever bloat, no pains, no cravings (I force myself to do cheat meals lol).Thank you as always for what you do, greatly appreciate your time and assistance!-biggest fan Mo Josh: Hi dr Cabral. Thank you for all your wisdom. After my tick bite (rmsf) in 2015 I still find myself having symptoms. I took a genetic test and it said I have mthfr with mast cell activation and my body is poor at getting rid of histamine. How can I calm mast cells down and keep histamine at bay. Thank you Simon: Hello Dr Cabral! I have been following the protocols of the Rain Barrel Effect for 6+ months now and am finally starting to see some improvement in my chronic IBS-D and overall health. One thing that I have really been struggling with however is finishing dinner a few hours before bed, due to work hours, family schedules, social norms, and trying to go to bed earlier. I typically finish 1.5hr before bed and try not to eat too much (which is difficult for me) or eat hard to digest foods (often out of my control). I was wondering if there were any protocols to 'increase digestion' speed or mitigate the negative effects of eating close to bedtime? Some which occurred to me were digestive enzymes (or natural substitutes like ginger or bitters) or apple cider vinegar before the meal. What would you suggest? Thank you once again! Kristin: do you have any details on Myasthenia Gravis conditions Jasmine: Hello Dr. Cabral, I first want to say thank you so much for all of the knowledge you share via your podcast and in The RBE. I am reaching out to ask about which type of test would you recommend in diagnosing a gut based issue. I am unsure if I should get a colonoscopy, ultrasound, or something else.Since the summer of 2018, I have been dealing with on and off again constipation, diarrhea, bloating and abdominal pain. It gets in the way of everyday normal activities, like teaching and being out somewhere (concert, gym, etc). I have gone to several doctors, including GI specialists, who in most part have ignored my issues. Recently, I have been having severe constipation and will not have a bowel movement for 3-4 days, and will only have one after I drink senna tea. Besides this issue, I am a healthy 29 year old female who works out four times a week, is within an optimal BMI range, sleeps 7-8 hours a night (some nights are more difficult than others to stay asleep), drinks almond milk, and eats organic/ grass-fed when I can. After receiving a diagnosis, I would like to work one-on-one with you to solve this issue and become healthy again.    Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1702 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

1696: Full Body Workouts, Accuracy of Smart Watches, Fasting Blood Sugar, Vitamin K Missing, Hearing Declining, Peeing at Night (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Mo:Hi Dr Cabral, Mo here again. Thank you in advance, as always, for taking the time to read and answer my questions. You are truly a wealth of knowledge.My question today is about the podcasts you have done on training. I have heard you say that you should stick to a workout program for 4-6 weeks before changing it so that your body can grow and adapt as you go. Based on that I wanted to clarify if I got this part right. If I am doing full body routines 3x a week would that mean that I do the same workouts? What I mean by this is if I am doing Deadlifts 2x a week, would I do the same style deadlift each time or change the style? Hope this makes sense. I am asking this in regards to every muscle group so if you could give an example that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again! Mo: Hey Dr. Cabral, Mo again, sorry it seems I am taking over all the time with my questions haha.This question is in regards to smart watches (specifically Apple Watch). How accurate do you think they are in calculating calories burned and steps and what not. Would you say they are reliable in that sense? If not, which brand would you say is the most reliable for calculating calories burned.Thanks again for your time and help! Judy: Dr. Cabral,I notice when I wake up in the morning, my blood sugar often ranges from 83-110 which I heard is not optimal. I know you mentioned 16+hour fasts are not right for everyone. I am a 37yo female, lean, mostly vata / pitta, who has low progesterone. When I tested with your team, my A1C was right at the borderline around 5.6. Do you recommend fasting until my blood sugar goes below 80 or breaking the fast even when my blood sugar is elevated? Samantha: Dr Cabral,Thank you for all you do. I have been switching over all of my supplements to Equilibrium Nutrition and had a quick question about your Vitamin D drops. Did you leave out vitamin k assuming it would be taken with the DNS shake? I know you always have a reason for everything and I look forward to my shake every single morning. I just wanted to make sure I shouldn't add more k for absorption??Thank you so much,Samantha Mo: Hi Dr Cabral, this question is for my father. He was told that his hearing is declining (he's 55) and was told he should get a hearing piece or else "your brain will get lazy and weak and your hearing will just keep getting worse" - his otolaryngologist told him.He has done the 21 day Dr Cabral Detox, the heavy metal detox, the intestinal cleanse, he's on the CBO and after that he will be doing the Mold Protocol. I was reading the book you recommended - You are the Placebo -Dr Joe Dispenza and started thinking that he can get his hearing back. I wanted your opinion on this and also see if you have any recommendations. My father does not listen to music on head phones or anything like that, he's a Vatta Pitta Kapha. Any advice is much appreciate as always, thank you for all you do! Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I have been listening to your podcasts (the 500s episodes) where you speak about on coming disease and different signs. I noticed one of them was waking up and peeing at night. I do that and always have for as long as I can remember. I'm always thirsty and drink water right up to bed and also when I wake up to pee I will drink more water. Do you think I should stop drinking before bed? I've done 4 of your 7 day detoxs, intestinal cleanse, CBO, gut finisher, parasite protocol and eat the same meals you do, feel better and better everyday. I guess the only thing I need to do is to run labs to see if there is an issue. If thats correct please let me know which labs and also any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

1695: Increase Calories, Camel’s Milk, Maintaining Muscle, Triphala, Frozen Berries & Hepatitis A, Magnesium Threonate (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Mo: Hi Dr Cabral, Mo here again. I just wanted to start off by telling you that I do not think you have any clue how much of an impact you have made in my immediate family & the world. You are one of my idols and I am so grateful for having been introduced to you. Thank you for all you do, it is truly needed in the world, especially these days!In regards to my question, this is something that has been confusing me for nearly a decade and no-one has been able to give me a proper answer. I have used multiple smart watches to calculate my BMR and have counted my macros numerous times of my life and cant seem to understand how this works for my body. I am 6'3, 185-190lbs, typically around a 4-8% B/F, Pitta-Vatta, do 3 days a week full body interval training, 2 days light cardio. I average about 3800 calories burned on light days and 4500 on full body training days however I cant seem to eat more than 2500 calories unless I do a cheat/flex meal. How is it that my body can burn more calories nearly every single day of the week than it takes in and I am not catabolic? I feel absolutely amazing (especially since following a lot of your protocols and daily routines). I'm not trying to put on muscle or get any bigger, but just curious what your thoughts are. Thank you thank you thank you! Imogen: Hi there!Thank you for everything you do! I am currently reading your book and am learning so much.What is your opinion on camels milk? I searched it up on your podcast but there were no results. Would it be similar to goats milk or would you avoid it like cows dairy. (I have never tried it though so not sure what it taste like) James: Hi Mentor Cabral. I have messaged you a few times during my bodybuilding bulk and cut. Thanks for your previous advice. I am currently in my cutting phase and my question is........... Once I come out of my cutting phase, I obviously want to retain all the muscle I have built for as long as possible, basically the remainder of my life. My predicament though, is that I do not want to constantly worry about if I have consumed 0.8-1g of protein per lb of body weight, and I don't want to worry about eating at a maintenance everyday. Will my body adjust to this new found muscle, and will I retain my muscle naturally just through regular strength training and just eating intuitively? Or, will I still have to make sure I am eating at a maintenance and getting lots of protein? I'll be around 200lbs at the end of my cut so It's quite a lot of protein and calories I need to be at maintenance, and I would rather just eat how I feel like. Obviously I know I cannot starve myself, or eat 30g of protein and expect to retain my muscle I have built up this year, but I just wondered if you had any tips on how to retain my muscle without being so anal about my calories and macronutrient ratios? Sam: Hi Dr Cabral, I take the daily foundational protocol level 3 but have also added some triphala. Do you think it's a bad idea to take triphala everyday? Bettina: Dear Stephen CabralThank you for your great podcast and for sharing all your knowledge, I truly appreciate it.I have a question regarding smoothies with frozen berries. The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration advice that all frozen berries are cooked at high heat for one minute before consuming. This is because of a possible link between Hepatitis A and smoothies with frozen berries. I drink smoothies everyday with frozen berries so I would love to know what your thoughts are on this?Best regards Bettina Larissa: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm an IHP and am so grateful for all of your guidance and everything you you do for the community! I have a couple questions: 1. What are your thoughts on Taurine. Do you feel this is something that Vegans should supplement with after fine tuning foundational things first using data from the Big Five Labs? 2. What are your thoughts on Magnesium Threonate compared to other forms of Magnesium. Many people feel this is an exceptional form for people with Anxiety & Depression because it can more easily cross the blood brain barrier.

1691: The Often Overlooked Mind, Mood & Health Disorder (Pyroluria) (TWT)

Although I’m not an advocate of labeling people with a “disease” diagnosis, it does help in the sense to understand what your imbalances are…   And, if you view this as what it is (an imbalance) then you can begin to look at the natural modalities for healing your body…   This is also the case for those suffering from low mood, concentration, or other health disorders that don’t always have an easy diagnosis…   For more details on one of the most overlooked dis-eases in both children & adults check out today’s #CabralConcept 1691 - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1691 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1689: Lichen Planus, Low Immunoglobulins SIgA, Herb Sensitivity, Inflammatory Diet, IBS-C, Missing Period (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    IS: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m a daily listener of your podcast and often search some information for any health topic. I tried to find an episode about Lichen Planus skin disease but didn’t find anything. My grandmama has this autoimmune disease and I would love to know more about the reasons and mechanisms of the disease. Where should I start when thinking any advices for my grandma? She has suffered from skin and gut issues for her whole life and now she is 88 years old. Thank you for advance! Tracy: Hello!Thank you for all you do to help others on a daily basis. I gain so much knowledge through you. You give so much hope to me on my health journey. Could you please tell me what I can do to improve low immunoglobulins A (my level is 40) & E (level Paula: Hi Dr Cabral. How can someone do the CBO protocol, the CBO finisher and still be sensitive to numerous herbs? I thought this was going to be resolved once I rebalanced my microbiome but I continue to react to things like Saffron, licorice, cumin and a bunch of other teas and spices! Do you think it takes more than 6 months to fully heal the gut and have a healthy microbiome? Maybe if I continue taking the daily probiotic for a few more months it will improve? What are your thoughts? Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral, I’m a big fan. Thanks for what you do. I am looking for some advice for my husband. He suffers with issues down the right side of his body. He has tendinitis in his right leg, he has a blind spot in his right eye, a hernia on his lower abdomen and a lump on the right side of his lower back. Is this a liver issue? Would cutting out inflammatory foods such as gluten, dairy, sugar, soy, eggs help? He also gets heart cramping from time to time. He has seen numerous doctors and is always told to go back if things get worse as he is managing but he is in pain everyday and is quite miserable. Do you have any other suggestions? Many thanks. Julia: Hi I have suffered from IBS (mainly IBS-C) for over 10 years. I have been through a number of diets-GF, DF, FODMAP etc. but will admit its been difficult to stick with it and also then everything I ate just ended up not making me feel good even "healthy" foods.I have done the 7 day cabral detox and have felt amazing afterward so would like to continue and learn more. I also think hormonal testing I would greatly benefit from. Andrea: After doing the big 5, I had some minor yeast overgrowth, mineral imbalances, very little mercury and some hormonal issues. Nothing too "out of whack" I would say a part from hormones. I am 23, and currently a level 1 IHP student thus follow all of your nutrition, supplementation and exercise recommendations. I haven't ovulated for almost a year now (no signs of my period) after stopping the pill. My estrogen was extremely low (0.5) and so was progesterone (21). The rest was in control including cortisol, DHEA, testosterone, etc. I couldn't test during a specific day in my cycle because I don't get my periods so that was a bit annoying of course. Given that I've followed all your health coach's recommendations (Laura) such as CBO Protocol, CBO finisher, Adrenal soothe at night, DNS, etc would you think that at this point it looks like I have to go the conventional path? I know that you don't give medical advice but I'd love to know your point of view. Do you think I should try hormonal therapy temporarily to force my period? Or should I wait a few more months? Even though I'm still far away of becoming a mother, I do worry about fertility. Not only that but I also get very worried as I know that the period is a sign of health...

1688: Nasolabial Lines, Weird Detox Symptoms, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Toddler Stress, Low Platelet Count (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Darra: Hey good day Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you and your family. I read the rain barrel effect and listen to this podcast regularly and live a healthy life. However, I have hyperpigmentation at nasolabial (laugh lines), chin and between eyebrows. Dunno if it's due to sun exposure or what (I live in Caribbean) or something. Anyway, tried various recommendations from supplements to massages and an esthician and skincare expert recommended ambi cream (2% hydroquinone) on the affected areas to remove them. I am usually vs these products but I hate how they look. Do the benefits outweigh the potential risks (if any) using these products? Oh, also what are your thoughts on the (UN)WELL series on Netflix, provided you've seen it. Thank you. Have a blessed on Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you. Is it normal to have diarrhea or water stool on third day of 3 day fast/detox? I used the AM/FM detox but not the Daily Nutrional Support. Consumed no protein but took vitamin b, c, d, alpha lipoic acid, NAC, zinc, dandelion root, black walnut, spirulina, pau d' arco, ginger tea, nettle from the supplements I already have. Some from you, others from other naturopath suppliers. Just want to know if this is normal, body removing waste or a cause for concern. Thank you and keep up good work Dawn: Hi,My 25 year old daughter was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome 3 years again. Do you have any experience with this Symdrome?Thank you,Dawn Melissa: Hello again Doctor Cabral! If you recall, I wrote in recently about my toddler, Bob. GI and eczema issues since birth - lots of testing (functional and conventional) but still no real answers. It was SO exciting to hear you talk of him! It restored my hope! Thank you again for your ongoing investment - you are truly an angel walking among us.We are saving up for the labs you recommended, and should have enough by the semi-annual sale in October! It can’t come soon enough.In the meantime, I know the WHY/HOW doesn’t necessarily matter..but it’s a topic that has always weighed on my mind a lot. I truly believe that stress is what took my Bob’s health from him. While I was pregnant I was under tremendous, unchecked, rampant stress. You always hear that pregnant ladies need to take it easy and not get worked up..I didn’t think it mattered. I did nothing to ease my stress. Just pushed through - constantly stressed and angry. It’s what keeps coming back to me when I ponder his “why”. You talk of stress as a very real cause of health problems, and it’s reduction as essential to healing.How though..? How do you reduce the stress of a toddler? How do you discipline without stressing? Tiptoeing around trying not to upset him isn’t the answer either, right? Thank you!! Mars: Hi Dr. Stephen Cabral,Your programs have been always informative and fun to listen to. Thank you for the knowledge you share. They are truly helpful.I have three questions here. They are:(1) Will autophagy induce platelet or red blood cell reduction?(2) Will nutrient deficiency or constant caloric deficit induce platelet or red blood cell reduction?(3) Is it fine to do IF (16:8) every day as long as the caloric intake is sufficient?I've been doing IF for around a year. By the end of last year, I happen to learn that my platelet count drops below normal range (at around 80000.) Fortunately, after a clinic visit, the doctor told me that the related blood index are all fine. And I don't have bleeding symptom. Since then, I changed my IF protocol to 16:8, which should be less intense I think. But in the recent health check, my platelet count remains the same. So I'm wondering if it is because I exclude rice (contains folate & iron) from my food plan and remain a 200-caloric deficit at the same time? Or it's simply not good to do IF every day because autophagy has such kind of negative effect?Thank you for reviewing my long questions above. Hopefully I may hear your response on your show.All the best,Mars   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1688 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

If you are to get well, lose weight, and live longer stronger, you must begin to take back control of your own health...

1682: Feng Shui Sleeping, Plastics & Estrogen, Sugar Sensitivity, Fixed Retainers, Zinc Bisglycinate chelate vs. Picolinate, Calming Supplements (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Darrel: Hey Dr. Cabral. Pleasant day. I came across an Indian yogi and later found what he said supported by Feng Shui with regard to sleeping directions. They say if we live in Northern Hemisphere (it's opposite if you live in Southern hemisphere) and sleep facing North, the magnetic pull of the direction attracts iron, which gets accumulated in the brain. This is the reason why many people complain of getting a headache when they wake up. Sleeping with your head pointing North can also disrupt your blood circulation and lead to disturbed sleep. It can also increase disorders such as insomnia etc. Any truth to this in ayurveda or any of the teachings you've come across? Steven: What are your thoughts on sea moss? I feel like its becoming mainstream now! Farah: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm a level 1 IHP student and in the supplement protocol module, you showed us the little zip bags to carry supplements on the go. However, I assume these are made out of plastic right? Wouldn't that be an issue for women because of the potential hormonal issues that plastic can cause? Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral,I hope this message finds you healthy and well. My question is in regards to blood sugar regulation. I have listened to your podcast regarding glucose monitors and optimal blood sugar levels. I have been tracking my glucose for quite some time and I am never optimal. I eat a whole foods diet with an once a week sweet treat made with natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Any healthy carb like whole fruits, Japanese yams, brown rice, etc. spike my blood sugar very high and never allows it to go below 80 unless I severely restrict these carbs. I am a lean athletic build and have worked with your team in the past for adrenal resistance, hormone and thyroid issues. What steps do you recommend to address this issue? Paual: Hi Dr Cabral. I used braces for 2 years and after that they put fixed retainers on my bottom teeth to prevent further movement. I went to a holistic dentist in London to remove this after learning about heavy metal toxicity during IHP Level 1 but they told me that it wasn't made out of mercury and it was just stainless steel. They said that there are no issues with that and if I removed them there was a high risk of my teeth moving again. I'm not sure what to do now... do you think stainless steel is an issue? Thank you so much for your time! Steven: Hey Dr Cabral! Love your podcast. Tuning in every single morning :) My question is: Why does the gut support powder contain zinc bisglycinate chelate and not picolinate? Is one better than the other or are both great for the intestinal mucosa? Thank you! Simon: Hello and thank you Dr Cabral,I am giving a short presentation at a conference in November and don't want to be a stuttering, forgetful mess. Apart from general good health, deep breathing and presentation techniques, I am wondering what supplements you might recommend to increase mental clarity whilst maintaining calm. I'm concerned some nootropics may achieve mental performance at the expense of calm and calming supplements may dampen my mental sharpness. Any thoughts? Many of my contemporaries swear by beta-blockers in these situations; would these be ok for limited use?

1681: Low T4, Black Tongue Coating, Sea Moss Review, Reactive Herbs, Lower Triglycerides (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Lala: Hi Dr Cabral, I hope you are doing great. I cannot thank you enough for all of these Q&A's that you do. You truly are a superhero! I had my thyroid checked 6 months ago and my TSH and T3 were great but my free T4 was on the lower end. My doctor asked me to retest 3 months later to check if T4 would go up. I recently retested again and nothing has changed. My TSH and T3 are great but my free T4 continues to be low. I don't understand what is going on! I am on my early 20s, exercise regularly, eat a predominantly plant-based diet (mostly organic) take zinc picolinate, full spectrum magnesium, activated multi vitamin, b complex and omega 3 fish oil. I have noticed though that when I don't take my supplements, I do feel tired that day but a part from that no other symptoms. My gut is healthy I believe because I did the candida and bacterial optimizer protocol last year. Any idea what the root cause could be? Would this be something to worry about? I can get very paranoid with these things sometimes and I worry a little bit too much… Mario: Every time I take the daily probiotic by equilibrium my tongue gets a black coating. It’s so weird! From my research it indicates a vata-based imbalance but it’s odd that I only get it when I take the probiotic... do you think that it might be because it’s rebalancing my gut microbiome so it’s like a “die-off” effect? Mario: Hi Dr Cabral. Sorry, I forgot to say in the last question that I didn't get a black coating on the tongue with the Clean Probiotic only the Daily Probiotic. Maybe this information might make a difference in identifying the reason haha! Sarah: What are your thoughts on seamoss? Fiona: Hi Dr Cabral, I hope you and your family are doing good during these difficult times! So, you always say that a lot of people with increased intestinal permeability tend to have a lot of igG food sensitivities. However, this is a reaction to the protein right? What about all of those people that react to a lot of herbs? This wouldn't be a reaction to the protein would it? Thank you so much, Fiona. Tessa: Hi Dr. Cabral-What is the most effective way to help lower triglycerides? I have recently adopted a mostly plant based diet a couple months ago and have lost 10lb. I am still significantly overweight but working on it with diet and exercise and had my gallbladder removed last year for gallstones. My recent bloodwork showed my total cholesterol at 148 with slightly elevated triglycerides. Thanks for your help, I have learned so much from your podcast!

1677: Yes, “Meat Glue” Is Lurking in Your Favorite Foods (TWT)

What is "meat glue" and how did it get to be that it's now being used in thousands of food products? The truth is that meat glue (transglutaminase) doesn't even need to appear on the food label of some of your (or children's) favorite foods... And, to make matters worse restaurants don't need to declare when they've added it to the foods you have ordered...

The word "enlightened" gets thrown around a lot without much context as to what it really means... Some people see it as positive while others think it is a bit too "new age..." To date, the best real-world formula I've seen as to how to get to true enlightenment is through Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs...

1675: Homeopathy, Algae Oil, Ayurvedic Teachings, Neurofeedback Benefits, Protein Dosing (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Derek: Hi Dr Cabral. I am a registered holistic nutritionist and have been listening to your podcast for over 2 years now and it is very informative and inspiring! I am just wondering if you use homeopathic medicine at all in your practice and what your thoughts are on it? I have wanted to learn a little more about it but am having a hard time finding some good resources on homeopathy . Looking forward to hearing back and thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge! Jenna: I am curious on your thoughts on using algae or algae oil supplements for Omega 3s vs using fish oil supplements. What are the pros & cons of each? To my understanding, the fish get their Omega 3s from the algae originally, so it makes sense to go straight to the source instead of the "middle man" but fish oil still seems to be more widely recommended instead of algae. What do you think? Aaron: Dr. Cabral, thanks for sharing so much in your podcasts. I am interested in ayurveda and wonder if you would consider incorporating more ayurvedic terms and analysis in your podcasts. I was reading a translation of the Sushruta Samhita before I discovered you, and am now enjoying Dr. Vasant Lad's Ayurveda textbooks. You've recommended some other ayurvedic books that are on my list, and eventually I'll make it to the Caraka Samhita, but it's a LOT of "alternate" terms to take in! When you answer house calls and give the highlights before referring to a previous podcast, the repetition really helps me with tying things together and remembering them. Adding ayurveda would be a very sweet cherry on top! Would you also consider Dr. Lad's pulse analysis with your topics? It's very complex and your expertise is appreciated, as always! Best regards for you, your family, and your great team! Mary: Hello,I have been a listener of the podcasts. Thank you for all of the information you share. I recently went to see a functional medicine doctor. I am the mother of 3 boys under age 6 and experiencing brain fog, short attention span, difficulty with memory, anxiety, increased irritability etc. All of my labs came back within normal range. I did a Brain Core brain mapping test and it showed low beta waves (75% dysregulated). The other brain waves were only 'off' by 5-20%. I am considering doing neurofeedback sessions with the doctor. He also suggested supplements, and a good diet to support brain health.Everything sounded reasonable etc, but considering the time and money aspects I wanted to hear Dr. Cabral's take on neurofeedback. I searched the podcasts, but nothing popped up in the search bar. Do you think neurofeedback has benefits? Thanks for your help! Mo: Hi Dr. Cabral,I can't begin to tell you how amazing your teachings have been for me and my family. Absolutely amazing and life changing. You are a gift to us all!My question is about protein intake.I know you have spoken about this many, many, many times but I am not sure if you have mentioned anything for someone that is very active. I am a pitta-vatta (based on answering your questions from episode 900-907-914), 6'3, 31yr/0, 190lbs, 7-9% BF. Prior to your teachings I trained heavy and intense 4-5x a week but since I found you and your book and listened to nearly 800 episodes so far (I listen to about 4-8 episodes a day lol). I now train full body heavy interval/tri-set/EMOM/ usually 1-2x, 1x medium to light training, and 1-2x just light easy cardio per week. I feel great now, not as burnt out as I used to feel before your teachings.My question is, do I still need to do about half my body weight in protein or would you look at doing more? I don't get hungry after eating for usually 3 hours. I do your famous purple shake every morning and have calculated my macros to be around 110g of protein, 220g of carbs, 90g of fat on average with 2 flex meals per week which I fast the next day.Thank you again for all you do, the world needs more Dr Cabrals! All the best, Mo.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1675 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1674: Skin Rashes Due to Food, Deep Sleep Differences, Weighted Blanket, Better Veggie Wash, Alkaline Electric Diet, Stomach Pain, Eczema & Congestion Link (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Stephanie: I started getting skin rashes and acne every time I ate gluten, nuts or eggs. I removed that and then I started reacting to a bunch of different foods too such as seeds, dairy, numerous vegetables, avocados, coconut and herbs and the list goes on. I did an organic acid test which showed some yeast but not a massive overgrowth which was odd considering all of my symptoms. I then proceeded with the CBO protocol and have just finished it today. Hoping that I could finally start eating foods again, it looks like I’m still reacting to everything. At this point I am so hopeless because I was also taking zinc and glutamine during those 12 weeks to seal the gut wall. I continue getting the acne and skin rashes with a bunch of foods and I don’t know what is going on. My HTMA showed some mercury but nothing too extreme either. Please help. Samantha: Hi Dr Cabral,Can you explain why Fatlossity PM helps me more with getting to sleep than the Deep Sleep Protocol? I've had sleep issues for awhile. I do take Vyvanse which is an adhd stimulant and I know that makes sleep a challenge for many but Fatlossity PM has been a game changer for me. I'm wondering if it's ok to continue long term and what ingredient is in Fatlossity that's not in the Deep Sleep Protocol which could be making a difference? Thank you so much. You're amazing. Sincerely, Samantha Annie: Hello! I am looking at purchasing a weighted blanket. We have a non-toxic mattress and organic bedding, so I'd like to get a weighted blanket that is also non-toxic/etc. Do you have one to recommend? Thanks! LAL: Hi, dr. Cabral,me again, hehe :)I hope you don’t mind me having so many questions, but I feel you are an amazing & a very trustworthy source of information.. listening to your podcasts & asking you questions here makes me feel like I’m learning A LOT every day & getting real answers helps with anxiety about all the contradicting information in today’s world.. so thank you again!I listened to your answer on juicing watermelon rinds if they’re not organic and I have a follow up question:You said to soak all produce in a solution of apple cider vinegar & water instead of in sodium bicarbonate in water.. could you please explain why a bit more in depth? What is the difference between the two? Why is one better than the other? And is it important what kind of vinegar?People here mostly use alcoholic vinegar for cleaning.. is that ok or not for soaking produce?And also how much would you use and for how long would you soak?Thanks for your help & have an amazing day, everyone! :) Tonia: I'd like to know your opinion on the Alkaline Electric/Vegan lifestyle and if there is anything to the African Bio Mineral Balance. Nicole: Hi Doctor Cabral, I am so glad your podcast was recommended to me by one of your listeners. Wish I would have found you years ago so I wouldn't need to be asking these questions. My daughter is 6 and has had stomach pain for about 2 years now. It is mostly around her belly button and when asked what it feels like she says " it feels like puke". Headaches seem to be correlated at times also. Doctors kept saying it was anxiety and told me the xray showed constipation. She has soft normal looking BM everyday. GI doctor just wanted to give her medication. I recently did a food sensitivity test that found high reactions to eggs, dariy( which she ate every day). Since changing the diet I would say she is 90% better. We started your parasite protocol on July 28th. I plan to buy your gut support protocol after completing the parasite cleanse. Is this what you would do? I know you recommend the Vitamins acid test and stool test for gut problems but I can't afford them right now. What else might help? I thought maybe enzymes to help breakdown things her gut cannot? We have made progress but I really want her at 100% and to never hear her say her stomach hurts.Thank you so much for all I have learned so far! Inga: Dear Doctor Cabral,I recently found your podcast and have fallen in love with it ! Your teachings are clear and very helpful.I know your are not a pediatrician, but my one year old son has been diagnosed with eczema. He also has a stuffy nose all the time .. I was wondering if there is any link in the two? Is there anything you would suggest for him? He is still breast feeding but also eat solid foods . Little sugar !Thank you for all your help and I appreciate you and your time !Inga Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1674 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > View all Functional Medicine lab tests (View all Functional Medicine lab tests you can do right at home for you and your family!)

1668: Acne & Gut Issues, Cushings Cortisol Imbalance, Celery vs. Cucumber Juicing, Ataxia Telangiectasia, Barley Grass, Protein Requirement, Eczema & Female Cycle (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Kristin: Good afternoon. I am at a loss and need some help. In brief, I am 38 year old mother of three. After giving birth to my third child I starting having adult acne and some serious gut issues. I tried going to my primary doctor with no luck, then I went to two holistic doctors that made me feel better temporarily, but the cost of the supplements started to get outrages. I felt like every time I went there was a new supplement I needed to take. At one point I was taking 20 different supplements a day! Now to today, I feel like I can barely eat, everything hurts my stomach and my acne is back on and I have new hair growing in places is should not as a woman. I went to my primary once again and she ran blood saying everything is fine when clearly it is not. I am so frustrated and would love some answers. My dream would to be on the best plan, but I know I can not afford it. What would you recommend? Thank you. Lillian: I have a high cortisol after the challenge with dexomethorphan. But barely over the minimum range. But my symptoms of insomnia and anxiety and thirst etc match Cushings. Do you have any podcasts on Cushings? Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :)Hope you’re having a great day!I listened to your podcast on celery juice a couple of times now and I have some questions.. I’m a daily celery juice drinker (usually 1litre or 32oz. half an hour after 1litre of lemon-ginger water) but have recently found out all the soaking, washing, prepping & juicing celery is causing me some anxiety because it takes up a lot of time, not to mention cleaning the juicer afterwards.. and because I also cannot buy organic celery - it being so expensive here, I think I want to start juicing cucumbers instead.. could you tell us if cucumbers are anywhere close to celery in healing compounds? Or is hydration the only benefit?Do they also need to be organic? They’re not on the dirty 12 list.. I don’t peel them, just soak them in sodium bicarbonate.. is that good for soaking produce? I only ever heard you mention apple cider vinegar for that purpose, but I always use s. b.So basically, do you think we can get the same benefits with juicing cucumbers as with celery?Medical Medium says it’s the next best thing if you cannot stand celery (which I have no trouble with) but do celery even if you cannot get organic because the benefits outweigh the negative effects of pesticides.. would you agree?Thank you for all you do.. Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral..This time I am writing on behalf of my friends.. their 5 year old daughter has a rare genetic disease called Ataxia-telangiectasia, have you heard of it?Is there anything they could do to help their little girl have the best life she can have considering her condition?Is there anything that can be done when it comes to these genetic diseases?Is healthy nutrition something they could do? Are there foods she shouldn’t consume? And supplements?Her mother doesn’t trust alternative medicine, but I hope I can help her father to some information on what to do..Thank you, these podcasts are absolutely amazing, have a lovely day with your loved ones.. and happy healing to all your listeners:) Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :)Hope you & everyone around you are well..I have a question regarding barley grass juice powder: Medical Medium says it should be in every day heavy metal detox smoothie along with wild blueberries, spirulina, dulse & cilantro because all together are really good at taking heavy metals out of the body.. but it’s essential it’s a JUICE powder not just barley grass powder.. what is your opinion on that? Why is barley grass juice powder good? Could you please explain this in depth..Thank you so much and have an amazing day, everyone Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral!First off, I want to say I'm a huge fan of your podcast and really appreciate everything you teach us. I was wondering about the "right" amount of protein intake. I'm 5'2, 107-8 lbs, and I weight train 2-3x a week, run once a week, and do dance cardio 2x a week. How much protein should I be consuming? I'm trying to build muscle through weight training and used to lift 4-5x a week, but I've lessened the amount since being home because of the quarantine. I want to build a bit of muscle or at least maintain, and I'm seeing all types of articles on the internet. What's the optimal amount of protein per pound I should be consuming?Thanks Lisa Lorena: I know eczema is caused by gut issues but can it also be related to hormones? I’ve realised that my eczema is worse at certain times of my period cycle!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1668 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1667: Child in Puberty, Bone Loss, Hydroxy Virus Drug, Need a Boost, Collagen Peptides, Keto Backfired (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Lauren: Dr Cabral,Please help! My 4 & 1/2 year old daughter has just recently developed body odour, some darker hairgrowth on her top lip & legs, a random long hair in the middle of her forehead, and she now has perioral eczema. I am concerned the hair growth may be signs of early hormonal changes, although I should mention she is half maltese, so unsure how much genetics plays a part in the hair growth.Before all this she had a rough chicken skin since a baby, and almost constant bloating, both of which have cleared up since completing the childrens parasite protocol, CBO with mastic gum and is almost finished the heal and seal. Now this eczema on her face makes me think I may need to do some testing on her gut.Previous to these protocols she tested high IgG for egg and moderately to another 16 foods. I have not retested these as yet. She eats very well, lots of wholefoods, almost completely organic, gluten free and the only dairy we have is butter.I am looking for advice on where to go from here, as I am very worried about what is going on in her little body. I am an IHP and student naturopath, but never imagined I'd be practicing on my own children already, and this makes me nervous as they are such precious little souls! Would love your thoughts. Paula: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for what you do and I love listening to the Cabral Concept first thing when I wake up. I don’t miss one episode! My dad is 73 and has recently done a scan which showed a significant loss in bone density. He cannot walk more than 20m because he feels a lot of pain. I hate seeing him like this and the doctor said that there’s nothing he can do but take very strong painkillers. I know that there isn’t really anything he can do because the bone mass is gone but is there anything that he can at least to reduce the pain? Natalie: What exactly is hydroxychloroquine and is it safe? If it is effective at preventing the virus, what are the possible downsides? Will it be an effective solution to the pandemic long-term? Patrick: Hi Dr. Cabral hope all is well. I’m 46 and feel like I’m in the best shape and best health since finding your podcast a few years ago. My question is about speed and endurance I play competitive hockey 2 days a week but feel like I’m losing that extra boost of speed and energy when I need it . I do go to the gym 3 days a week for about 30 min of strength training upper and lower body so I don’t feel it’s a strength issue. I’m hoping to keep playing sports and be competitive for a long time . Thank you for all you do Ken: Hey Dr. Stephen Cabral. What are your thoughts on frozen collagen peptides? Being a supplement junkie I recently purchased frozen collagen peptides having an amount of 9000 mg each pill with 3000 mg L-Glutathione, also. I know collagen are great for the body as well as glutathione but what are your thoughts particularly on collagen peptides and L-glutathione forms? Thank you for all the value you provide. Dan: Hi Dr. Cabral. About two years ago I started a very strict regiment where I was doing a ketogenic diet, daily intermittent fasting and daily steady state cardio. This initially had me feeling the best I’ve ever felt in my life both mentally and physically. Unfortunately the results were short lived and after about a 8 months I started experiencing significant digestive issues, loss of sex drive, as well as depression and anxiety. This coupled with some stressful life events had me feeling like I just didn’t have any gas in the tank. I had my testosterone level checked and it was very low at 198. I began seeing a functional medicine doctor who found I was in phase 3 HPA axis dysfunction with very low DHEA levels, I had SIBO, and a magnesium and potassium deficiencies. I’ve heard you say that this is a very predictable way in which the body breaks down on a ketogenic diet. After following my doctors supplementation regiment for about 5 months, going back to a normal diet and reducing exercise I feel so much better and my symptoms have for the most part resolved. What I can’t get back to is the feeling of vitality I initially felt on the ketogenic diet. Do you have any insight into why this made me feel so good and how I can get that feeling back.

1664: How to Drop the Quarantine 15 or 20 (WW)

The last 5-6 months have been one of staying in more, sometimes moving less, and for many eating a bit more than we’ve been used to...

1661: Polycystic Kidney Disease, Missing Period, Compulsive Eating, Change Body Type, Coconut Oil Conundrum (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Bridget: Could you please speak about polycystic kidney disease - PKD? Is it possible to help these people remove the cysts naturally? When you speak about kidney disease does polycystic kidney disease fall under that same umbrella? For example, people with this disease need to be extremely careful with detoxing/cleanses? Could you please explain why that is? Mariela: Hi Dr Cabral. I am 21 years old and have a healthy weight because I exercise regularly (a combination of HIT, Yoga, Light cardio, etc). I was on the contraceptive pill for 5 years and got off it cold turkey last November (2019). It reached May and I still didn’t get my period back. I did the organic acid test, HTMA, and thyroid and adrenal hormone test. Afterwards I did the 21 DCD, followed by the CBO protocol. I’ve also incorporated many vitamins and minerals as advised by one of your health coaches. B complex, balanced zinc, full spectrum magnesium, adrenal soothe, DNS, etc. I eat 9 cups of organic vegetables & fruits per day, a good amount of carbs from my morning oats and I don’t even have cheat meals anymore. I do everything perfectly. My period hasn’t come back yet and I don’t know what else to do. Your health coach told me I had very low progesterone and low estrogen as well. My cortisol levels were ok. Can you please help me get my period back? I will be going now the CBO finisher but I’m still sensitive to seeds so I can’t implement seed cycling yet. I’m very worried that It’s been so many months without my period. Thank you so much. Krissy: Hey Dr Cabral, firstly want to say thank you for sharing your incredible wealth of knowledge with the world and for allowing me to think outside my “naturopathy box”.I have multiple autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances and several other health issues. I’m working with a friend who is an IHP level 2, and have done a 21 day detox, am currently doing parasite protocol and intestinal cleanse, and will be starting CBO protocol in Sept.The issue I’m writing to you about, however, is my binge eating disorder and addiction to food. I have the knowledge of how and what to eat. The problem is the I still have the compulsion to eat sugary foods, carbs and takeaway. I get through 2 weeks of eating really well and then I lose control.I’ve already listened to your podcasts on breaking habits, I’ve identified my triggers and avoid them when I can, and also replace the actions with healthier ones. But sometimes there is no trigger. I can be eating really well, no stress, feeling great and all of a sudden I’ll get the compulsion to eat something I shouldn’t. I use all my training to remain on track with my eating, such as mindfulness, meditation, distraction but can’t get past this. It’s the biggest blockage to my getting well. Any ideas? Help! Thanks in advance. Anonymous: Hi dr Cabral :)Here is my question: would love to know what our thoughts.Can you change your body type? I assume no, however I had eating disorders/OCD for many years since I was 13 so my body never fully developed. I am 18 now, and slowly getting to a healthy body weight. When trying to figure out my body type, many of the questions I don’t know if I answer truthfully for me at the moment, or me back when I was 12-13?Such as, I have a small frame at the moment, small wrists, weak digestion, often anxious, can get irritable and can’t miss a meal. However this never used to be the case from what I can remember: was very easily going, had strong legs, wider hips than my friends, easily miss a meal so wouldn’t effect me at all.So... would that mean my body type has changed..? As I would like to determine what lifestyle and foods would be best for me. Thank you! Love love your work. (Unfortunately I cant afford any labs/products especially with $Aud conversion rate and shipping but I am saving up!)Anonymous Dianne: Hi Stephen,Thanks for your informative podcast sessions. I love them. You have helped a friend of mine after I asked your advice. She has ordered one of your labs. Please stay safe over there.My question is about coconut oil. A friend has a heart condition together with lupus and he is recovering from hepatitis which he obtained through a blood transfusion. His cardiologist has forbidden him from having any coconut product. I have always had coconut oil, cream, milk, flour, sugar and was taught it was a healthy alternative. His Dr has said that coconut products makes your cholesterol sticky therefore causing a chance of blocking. Can you enlighten me please as to whether coconut products are good for youRegards and thank you.Dianne Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1661 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1660: C-Section, Progesterone Cream, Whole Body Pain, Cleanse Timing, Gut Mood Connection (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Cody: Hi Dr Cabral. Do you have any tips on recovering from a c-section? My wife is scheduled for her 3rd and we’re looking to minimize the negative effects of the antibiotics. Sandra: Dear doctor Cabral,I’ve been a regular listener for many years and my health has clearly changed for the better because I’ve implemented so much of your incredible advice. Therefore I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are really making a huge difference out here.I wanted to ask your opinion on the following: I’m a 43 year old, healthy female and recently I did a hormone test which showed that all my hormones are on a very low side. They are in a good balance relative to eachother (no estrogen dominance), but still very low. That makes sense, because my periods are coming about once every 2 months. My naturopathic doctor mentioned using progesterone cream and natural hormone replacement, but I feel that I’m too young for that. Therefore I wanted to ask for some advice on lifestyle changes to help me get the hormones up.I eat whole food plant-based diet, work out regularly (weights and walking), do 16:8 IF, meditate. No thyroid problems (checked that), and I use B and D vitamins, zinc and omega 3’s to supplement my plant-based diet. I do have some gut issues, which I’m currently working on (parasites).Any advice would be MUCH appreciated!Thanks again for everything that you do!Sandra Jen: I am not sure if this is the right spot to share our story. Here it goes. My 45 year old husband has been dealing with chronic pain in the feet. It began 12 years ago and has slowly progressed into more widespread pain. We have spent thousands of dollars to find the reason to no avail. It seems like most doctors are brushing it off. He has seen a rheumatologist, pain specialist and neurologist. He has had a gamut of tests done all of which were normal. He just underwent an autonomic test which was normal. He had a CT scan of the brain which showed areas of demyelination but we were told this is normal for his age. His pain has now progressed to his hands and basically his whole body. We have no answers. He sits with three pillows under his butt. He has a neck pillow and wears gloves on his hands.We don’t know what to do.Jen Haley: I truly appreciate your passion for educating the world through your podcast - thank YOU!! I recently found you and have been loving your podcast. As a new customer, I completed a 14-day detox and have started the CBO protocol. After I complete the CBO protocol, is it important to do an intestinal cleanse before starting the CBO finisher? I have regular bowel movements (extremely rare constipation) on a daily basis so please let me know your thoughts about the necessity of an intestinal cleanse after the CBO protocol and before the CBO finisher. If it's not necessary, I'd rather invest in other products, such as continuing the CBO finisher for longer than 30 days. On that topic, is 30, 60, or 90 days on the CBO finisher recommended for optimal results? Thank you for your time and honesty!! Jess: Greetings Stephen, I am a new listener and was hoping to get your insight on my rather laundry list of symptoms. It all began about 2 years ago when I started getting frequent headaches (behind my eyes, tension, top of head, and full blown migraine) and occurrences of nausea. My TSH came back high and have since been put on levothyroxine which I think has helped the headaches. What has not died down is frequent occurrences of 1) nausea or 2) a feeling of acid in the back of my throat or stomach (not the feeling of heartburn in the chest). I may feel fine for a week or two and then all of a sudden get these nauseous feelings or the feeling of acid in my throat/belly multiple times a day for days to weeks. These symptoms seem to occur randomly but are sometimes worse at night and prevent me from sleeping. At times I think its due to anxiety in that I am anxious to go somewhere for fear of these symptoms happening. However, frequently these symptoms occur when nothing stressful going on. I have cut out major sources of gluten and that has seemed to help some, but overall these symptoms have persisted. I am wondering if you think this could be really bad anxiety or could be instances of IBS, h pylori, sibo, parasite, or anything else.

1657: The Importance of Prebiotics & When Not to Use Them (WW)

Apparently we've moved on in the media from the importance of probiotics and now the wind is blowing towards prebiotics! All kidding aside, both probiotics and prebiotics have always been important, but for very different reasons... This is especially the case with prebiotics since they will cause gas, bloating, and GI issues for those that aren't ready for them... But when it comes to having a well-balanced, functioning gut eventually we all need to increase our prebiotic load through our diet...And that's exactly what we're going to discuss on today's #CabralConcept 1657 on the importance of prebiotics and also when not to use them - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1657 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

Over 20 years ago I was introduced to Integrative Health and Functional Medicine lab testing and the course of my life changed forever...

Many years later, I'm doing my best to make good on this promise...

1654: Kambo Frog Secretions, MSG Side Effects, UK Supplement, Parasites on Stool Test, Teenage Birth Control (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Anonymous: What are your thoughts on using Kambo (amazonian frog secretions) for helping heal, detox, and strengthen the body, mind, and spirit? Darrel: Hey Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you, your family and those attached to Equilibrium. My question has to do with the recent pushback to those saying MSG is unhealthy. Seeing a lot of people saying that's not the case and it's gotten a bad rap due to racism, xenophobia etc. I'm still going to avoid it but it's an uphill task given my family and friends cook with it and when I attempt to convince them they cite articles like below or so-called experts like popular doctors appearing on cable network news refuting said ill effects. Is MSG really really as bad and no good for our bodies or are we overstating it's side effects? Anyway do keep up great work. LAL: Hi, dr. Cabral :)Thank you for your previous replies, but now I have some follow up questions :)I was asking about XXXXX  supplements and if you could please review their products and you said no.. but right now I’m listening to podcast no. 1569 where someone asked about some mouth products and you said you would put them on your list to look at and also that you’re making a recommendation list.. how do you decide which ones to look at and which ones not? The problem is that I’m from Europe and we don’t get all the products you guys get there or if we could, the shipping is just so expensive.. that’s why I was asking about Viridian, they’re based in UK & also we get their products in my country.. and I think they’re high quality but would really love to hear your opinion on their products because I highly appreciate you and your knowledge on these things.. thank you for your reply either way and for all you do, you’re helping us so much! Have a great end of the week, everyone! Lily: Dear doctor Cabral, As you are my favorite doctor to listen to, I wanted to ask you for a second opinion. My naturopathic doctor recently did a very extensive stool test. We did it because I’ve been having pretty bad bloating and gas issues after eating pretty much any meal - for years.The results came back negative for the main suspects: yeast overgrowth, h-pylori, leaky gut, and so on. She did find very high values for blastocystis and dientamoeba fragilis species. And also very low values for the main resident flora colonies.Do you think that my gut issues and low numbers of good bacteria are connected to those two parasites or should I do more research, like food insensitivity?And which products from your Equilibrium line would you recommend to treat those two issues?Thanks so much in advance! Karim: Hi. My daughter is 19 and she has her period with the help of hormone replacement therapy (both estrogen and progesterone).She didn’t start her puberty I was worried so wen she turned 15 I took her to doctors. They referred her to specialists so they put her on these pills which I’m not keen on long-term. She was also born with only 1 ovary.Do you think there is hope for her to come off hormonal therapy and get her period naturally? I don’t know what else to do...Also, if she does the complete hormonal test, would she have to come off hormonal therapy in order to get accurate results?

1653: B-Vitamin Side Effects, Zinc Dosage, Irregular Cycle, Burping Causes Dizziness, Teenage Weight Gain, Dynamic Neural Retraining System (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jenna: I cannot believe the crazy side effects I get from a B Complex! I experience racing & irrational thoughts, insomnia, anxiety, irritability, dizziness, and even a tingling sensation in my brain. It contains methyl B12 and methylfolate- which I thought was supposed to be easier for the body to assimilate, but there has to be something going on where my body can't handle the B vitamins. Additionally, my urine is bright yellow when taking them, but I understand this to be normal. I am deficient in B12 as shown on my OAT test, so I'd love your recommendation of what to supplement with and also why this could be occurring. Thank you! Ambrit: After doing a HTMA test, I was advised by one of your health coaches to take zinc picolinate. I am currently doing the CBO finisher and the healthy gut support contains 15mg of zinc. Should I stop taking the picolinate in the meantime? I know that taking too much zinc can be dangerous… Priscilla: Hello Dr. Cabral!Thank you so so much for all that you do for our health community! You have changed my life!I’ve dealt with an autoimmune disease for many many years now. I have Hashimotos. I’ve seen so many specialists for my condition trying to feel better. Since I’ve started listening to your podcasts, my heath has much improved. I’ve done your CBO protocal and many of your detoxes.I am 39 years old and my husband and I want to get pregnant. I’m in the process of seeing a fertility specialists to get my ovarian function and hormone levels tested. I think I’m premenopausal. I’ve started getting hot flashes the last year or so and my menstrual cycle has been irregular. What can I do to improve my chances of getting pregnant and help with my fertility?Truly appreciate you! Beth: Hello. Thanks for all your amazing work, I am a newly qualified health coach and I am so thankful every day for the knowledge you share because it really helps me with my clients.My question is: I get very light-headed when gas comes up. It probably happens a couple of times a day but sometimes I have to hold on to something to steady myself. What do you think this could be caused by and why does it happen when I burp? I'm 43, above-average fitness, 140lbs really healthy diet etc. I know I have always naturally had low-blood pressure (don't know what it is currently) and v low HR (often goes down to below 40 if I'm sitting working). Are these low markers anything to worry about? Michael: Greetings,I have a 16 year old active/athletic son that has been struggling with his weight for several years. He is a 3 sport varsity athlete, works out constantly and has difficulty shedding weight. I am guessing that he has some sort of hormone imbalance. Is this something that you could help us with? If you could let me know, I would appreciate it.Thank You,Mike Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral & everyone :)I’m wondering what your thoughts are on The Dynamic Neural Retraining System? It is supposed to be a natural, drug-free, neuroplasticity-based program that can assist in relieving symptoms associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Lyme Disease, Food Sensitivities, Anxiety, Chronic Pain, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and many other conditions which are related to a chronic stress response and limbic system impairment. It supposedly directly targets brain function and a maladapted stress response, not chasing symptoms, but teaching people how to change the function and structure of their brain. They say when you rewire the limbic system, you move your body from a state of survival to a state of growth and repair where true healing can take place.I’ve been listening to your podcasts for months now and really trust your judgment and scientific approach so I hope you can shed some light on this and if it is something to look into for someone with one or more of this conditions?Thank you so much and have an amazing day, everyone.

1647: Warts on Elbow, Eosinophilic Rhinitis, Chlorella vs. Spirulina, Dog Allergy, Coconut Water, Stool Testing (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Patrick: Hi dr Cabral love all the work your doing . I’m felling the best in my life since finding your podcast about 3 years ago . I’ve listened to all your podcast and some multiple times so I hate to ask a question I know you’ve answered more than once but nothing seems to work .my done is 14 and has had warts on his elbow for as long as I can remember whenever they burn or freeze them off they come back and the doctors make it like it’s normal and no big deal but obviously something isn’t right he also had really bad athletes feet when he was younger but that seemed to go away. Thanks for everything. Your the best Joy:Hello Dr Cabral. My concern is a constant runny nose especially when outside. I have this year round no matter the weather but it is worse with exercise and in cold weather. It’s annoying and embarrassing to constantly have to carry a tissue with me. I avoid the foods that I am highly sensitive to (based on results from the food sensitivity test) and have done the CBO protocol (based on test results from the stool test and organic acids test). I take daily thyroid medication for Hashimotos. I had surgery for a deviated septum last year and the dr suggested a cryotherapy procedure hoping that would fix my problem. The runny nose was better for a couple of months then back to the way it’s been for as long as I can remember. Very disappointing to say the least. Any suggestions as to what my next step might be? Or just learn to live with it? Love listening to your podcasts. I am always learning. Thank you for all you do! Joy LAL: Hi, dr. Cabral :)I have a question regarding chlorella versus spirulina.. Medical Medium says chlorella is messy because it takes heavy metals and drops them elsewhere in the body, so spirulina is better because it takes them out the body all the way.. and you’re supposed to make a smoothie with it, having all these ingredients together for a Heavy metal detox smoothie: spirulina, cilantro, barley grass JUICE powder (it has to be juice powder apparently, can you explain the difference please?), wild blueberries and Atlantic dulse.. what do you think about this smoothie? Is it really helping with taking the heavy metals out because of the combination of these 5 ingredients?The second question will be another on the watermelon.. it’s supposed to be a great liver cleansing food.. I eat it every day for breakfast..But I also eat the seeds? Is that ok? Apparently they have protein (like all seeds do) but how is that when it comes to food combining?Thank you so much!Everyone, have a lovely day and happy healing! :) Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral! First off I want to say that I have healed so much from working with your health coaches (Julia specifically) and doing your protocols. I've healed my gut and worked on my hormones, but I just can't seem to kick my allergies. During quarantine I got a puppy and I appear to be allergic to his saliva - I get itchy & sometimes hives after touching/playing with him, especially if he licks me. I do feel like with all the work I've been doing my allergies in general have gotten better but I don't know why they're not relieved much more given all the work I've done (I still have to use anti- histamine & cingular daily). Main question is: do you see dog allergies as something a person can heal from? I took the big 5 in June & am now on a hormone protocol to get my cortisol levels & thyroid back to normal. Aside from that, where do I go from here to ease my allergies? LAL: Hi, dr. Cabral :)I’m interested in coconut water.. do you recommend drinking it? Why? Does it have a lot of benefits?We have different ones in our stores and all say they’re only coconut water from coconuts, no added sugar, not from concentrate.. but they taste so different, do you know why?All of them are pasteurised.. what does that mean? Is it bad, does it take away the nutrients?Thank you so much, have an amazing day! Cleo: Hi Dr Cabral,If I test positive for COVID-19 antibodies, what is the risk of me contracting the virus again and would it be contagious? I'm asking because I've tested positive for the antibodies and would like to visit my dad but he is considered extremely vulnerable. I don't live in the same country as him and would have to travel internationally so I'm afraid of contracting the virus on the trip and then passing it to him. Thank you so much. Jenna: I'm currently 2 weeks into the CBO protocol, by the time you read this I'll probably be on week 6-8. I did the OAT test through Equilibrium, but I did a stool test through another company. There were no parasite detected but after hearing you explain that a 3 day stool test is best for parasites, I realized the 1 day test I did may not have been sufficient and I'm feeling a bit paranoid that I don't know for sure if I have a parasite. My question is that if I want to test for parasites using the 3 day test Equilibrium offers, can I do this test in the middle of the CBO or will it skew the results? Is it better to wait until the CBO is completed to test? I want as much accuracy as possible.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1647 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1646: Daily AntiMicrobials, Sick Child Testing, Heart Operation, Never Have a Fever, Pityriasis Versicolor, Pesticide Juicing (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Fay: Hello Dr. Cabral, I recently finished the ParaSupport protocol and it worked!!! Biocidin drops are amazing! I ordered another bottle to have on hand. However, I wonder if it is ok to take them on a daily basis to maintain good gut function. If yes, how many drops and what time of day? Thank you for all your knowledge, your voice to me each morning is a breath of fresh air. You’re one public figure I wholeheartedly trust!! Have an awesome day and be safe!! Patrick: Hi dr Cabral huge fan . My son is 14 and he had a brain tumor removed 3 years ago, I was wondering what would be a good test for him to see how his health really is , he is doing good now but I worry a lot, plus what would be good for him to do after he gets an mri . Thank you for everything you do and keep up the great work Jade: hello hope all is well i'm a massive fan of your work and a follower from the UK . I would like some help and advise If it would be possible . My dad was taken in to hospital with a perforated colan (diverticlitis ) he is out now now and on antibiotics x3 . he also had heart operation last year . Is there anything you can recommend does, takes or eats to help with this heal ? thank you in advance . Also i have just finished your detox course and loved it can not wait to get your detox if availbe in UK best wishes jade Jessica: Dr. Cabral. My body never runs a fever. The last time I remember having a temperature when sick was over 12 years ago. I am currently 34 and sick often. I currently have strep throat and feel terrible, but... no fever. I had the flu with positive test 2x last year and my body temp was always in the 97 range. Is this a variation of normal or is my immune system struggling? Thanks! Lindsay: Hope you are all well and safe! Please can you advise some treatments for Pityriasis versicolor and how it can be avoided? Thank you LAL: Hi, you amazing soul! ;)I have a question about watermelon.. I eat it every day when it’s in season but it’s not organic.. last year I juiced the rinds, because of different reasons: first, the juice is amazing and very hydrating, second it’s supposed to be good because of chlorophyll (and other things) is that true? This year I only eat the watermelon and throw away the rinds because I’m scared of the pesticides.. How bad would it be (the rinds) to juice it if you soak it in sodium bicarbonate and then also wash it thoroughly with soap and a sponge? Is sodium bicarbonate the best thing to remove pesticides? Mind that I’m from Europe so apparently the dirty dozen list doesn’t exactly apply for us here - it’s supposed to be different, do you know anything about how to get a similar list for Europe?Thank you so much for all your answers and all the information in your podcasts! It’s amazing!

I used to believe that I would eventually reach a state where my mind and thinking would be “Zen” every waking moment...

1640: BCAAs, Medical Medium, No Protein Diet, Nystagmus, Liquid Porridge, Cold Therapies (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Kelsey: People always say they’re doing fasted cardio while drinking pre workout. That’s not considered fasting though is it? And do you recommend BCAAS for any of your clients? LAL: Hi, Dr. Cabral:)I’m wondering about what your take on some of the Medical Medium information is.. I know you’ve said that he’s really smart and well-read and I’ve listened to your podcast about celery juice.. what about him saying we should be grazing throughout the day for our adrenals? I know you say we should switch to 3 meals per day.. why the difference? And also his adrenal snacks.. should always be potassium, sodium & glucose (for example dates, celery sticks and apples together as a snack).. that’s poor food combining isn’t it?What is your opinion on coconut aminos instead of soy sauce..?He doesn’t believe oxalates or lectins are a problem, or nightshades.. or he doesn’t believe in testing anything either.. but I’ve been listening to your podcasts and they make so much sense & I’m learning sooo much!His followers also consume a lot of fruit daily which I do too.. but it doesn’t fit into 3meals per day lifestyle, when is best to incorporate fruits and how? As monomeals, to avoid bloating? I’m so confused, I also don’t want to get a fructose intolerance.. please help :)Thank you again for all you do, you’re a lifesaver! Lots of love to you, your family, your amazing team & all the listeners who want to heal and/or help others LAL: .. hi, me again.. ;)I’m sorry, I forgot to ask:Medical Medium also says not to eat protein or fats, at least not until dinner or avoid them all together.. I used to eat like that but now I at least add them in the afternoon or evening, but I’ve gained weight (fat) around the belly and started overeating a lot.. could you please explain more about that and what to do?I’m predominantly a Vata..Thank you again! Have an amazing day, everyone! :) NIck:I have nystagmus..acquired last 5 years and suffer from celeberum ataxia. Can you recommend diet to assist and maybe what not to eat...or anything else Marian: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for answering our questions. You always say how important it is to have liquid before lunch thus a smoothie for breakfast. However, you’re not against a little bit of porridge on the side in winter especially the vata body type. How come? Porridge is not liquid so I imagine it does take a while to digest? Can you please explain how porridge would be an exception to the rule “liquid before lunch”? Alyssa: Hi Stephen,I love listening to your podcasts, so informative and trusted sources to gain amazing information about my health and wellness so I am equips today be my own health advocate!I am interested in hearing your take on cold showers, cold plunges and the overall benefits you feel come from these types of therapies. I have hypothyroidism TSH 2.24, T3 2.8, T4 .78, Cortisol level is low 2.67.I have given myself a 30 day cold shower protocol working my way up to 7-8 minutes as my goal and I have been feeling great but some feedback would indicate that the stress of the cold could increase stress on my mind/body which may not be great especially for someone with thyroid issues.MY take is that I am teaching my mind/body how to stay calm when stress is induced To build my tolerance to stress...so I am wondering what is your take on this especially when thyroid issues are a factor. Can you explain overall benefits of cold therapies and why does it seem to not have any great studies to back findings?! Is it all just a mental game? Sorry throwing a lot out there but I am so intrigued and want to k ow your thoughts.

1639: Stop Losing Weight, Post-Meal Walk, Sick Child, Polyp Production, Thick Mucus (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Denise: I just finished reading 'The Rain Barrel Effect'. I couldn't put it down. So good! I am 51 years old and I have been on a wellness journey for over 15 years now so I do follow a lot of the principles in the book. I have been struggling with gut disbiosis for a long time. My most recent attempt to correct this was through Viome (microbiome stool testing). I am not seeing the results I was hoping for.My main issues right now are hormonal and digestive issues. I recently had a colonoscopy and was very surprised to find out I have diverticulosis in my entire colon. I have been following a very strict all organic, mostly plant based with high fiber for over 15 years so this puzzles me.I have looked into your tests and detox protocols. My thought was to do a 21 day detox to start. I do have some concerns with the shakes. I tend to not like the taste of protein shakes. Would you happen to have samples of your shakes that could be tried before committing to the 21 day protocol? I currently weigh 130 pounds and feel really good at 125. I would like to do the 21 day detox for detox purposes, but don't want to lose 15 pounds. Can this be done without losing that much?Thanks, Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I was hoping you could dive a bit deeper into why you recommend taking a walk after a meal, but recommend against standing whilst eating? Wouldn't this be practically the same thing, or is the walk not suppose to be straight after the meal? Melissa: DR CABRAL! Your life is transforming lives, everyday. So our son Bob. He is 2.5. Timeline layout for better speed reading! BIRTH-Huge! 11 lbs (no gestational diabetes)-Failed glucose test-Jaundice-Poor sleeper, constant spit up . 6 MO:-Lesion on cheek. Ped says “eczema, use hydrocortisone”-Went away, came back worse. 1 YR:-Every food causing reaction-Lesions everywhere: itch/ooze/bleed-Hire nutritionist, start testing-Weaned-Falls off growth charts -HOSPITAL. Severe blockage, symptom: diarrhea. Endoscopy normal. Skin clears with empty bowel.-Begin amino acid formula-Sees GI, dermatology, allergy, dietician -Answers? Miralax & steroids forever, Epipen. -Seasonal allergies non stop. NOW-Tolerating more foods, still not many -Using “Aron Remedy” daily. Compound of betamethasone/mupirocin in lotion-Unvaccinated-Potty trained but still diaper rash -Inconsistent stools even within same movement-Asthma begins-Snores-Every morning congested-NEWEST LABS SHOW ELEVATED ANTI-TPO (19)-Await pediatric endocrinology - soonest appt 6 months What do you make of my little buddy? He has an older sister with no health conditions. Just kind of killing time for him to be older/bigger. Thank you, for everything. Melissa Leah: Hello and thank you in advance for answering my question! I would like to know why do bodies produce polyps? I seem to be a super producer of them. I have had surgery to remove them from my nasal cavity so I can breathe easier, I have had 9 removed from my colon(pre-cancerous), and I was recently told that I have one growing on my cervix. Also, what are your thoughts on the surgical removal of polyps? I’ve been told that I need to do a yearly colonoscopy to remove any more that have grown (I’m 35 years old). Is there a way to shrink and get rid of polyps without surgically removing them? Katie: I ran the organic acids test last October of 2019 and everything came back great. Since then I have started having thick mucus in the back of my throat/mid esophagus along with stuffy nose congestion alternating with runny nose and slight left ear pain. I feel exhausted and completely run down. My primary care doctor ran CBC/thyroid/metabolic panel and that was fine as well. My primary care doctor that it could be acid reflux and I tried Prilosec for a few days but no change. I feel like my throat is inflamed and Having difficulty swallowing some foods.

1633: Bean Protocol Diet, Stress & Candida, Fruit Combining, Protein Negatives, Extreme Bloating (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for the wealth of knowledge you generously share. My question is regarding the Bean Protocol! Are you familiar with this diet? The most important point is that recycled bile becomes toxic in our bodies. She believes it needs to be cleared out using soluble fiber (beans in particular). Karen suggests her clients eat beans at least three times a day -in the absence of fat- so that the soluble fiber will bind to the dirty bile and carry it out. Virtually any health issue could be reversed with food alone. No supplements advised, as they spike adrenaline. Though I love beans, 3 x per day without fat for 1 1/2 hrs. after, limits my diet. At this time, I am doing the CBO protocol but am concerned that I'm not cleaning out bile anymore! I'm also concerned that if I eat soluble fiber with my fats, I won't absorb the nutrients in the fat. Would you share your thoughts? Karen also believes that fruit of any kind, or even stevia, cause an adrenaline rush that damages your adrenals. I am enjoying eating berries now but wanted to ask if you think it's safe for someone with adrenal fatigue? Many brilliant people in wellness, but it's difficult to choose a path with so much variation in theory. Please advise! With gratitude! Summer Haley: Thank you for sharing such great information on your podcast! I was diagnosed with candida overgrowth last fall after facing immense stress (mom unexpectedly passed away the same week I started my MBA while working full-time). I recently completed my MBA & feeling much less stressed. I was on fluconazole and feeling much better but recently came off it and notice signs of candida again, especially in my fingers and pinky nail even though my stress levels are lower. I typically walk over 10 miles each day (2 walks/day). Could this be causing extra stress on my body and contributing to candida? Am I overdoing it? Thank you in advance! LAL: Hi, I have some questions about food combining:- is it ok to mix sweet and acidic foods in a smoothie? Like banana and strawberries or banana & pineapple..? I know they shouldn’t be eaten together but is it different if they’re blended?- with what can tomatoes be eaten? On some charts they’re an acidic fruit, on others a vegetable..?- with what can nuts be eaten? Or should they be eaten on their own? And seeds? Should we soak them first?- what about legumes? Thank you so much, your podcasts are so informative & you are amazing! Jeannie: Hello Dr. Cabral. I know you have many times talked about how much protein someone should be getting and I am listening to all those different podcasts and thank you for that. ...but I am still trying to figure out more specifically the Information for myself. I am a 45 years old woman and I weigh probably around 115. I am a very active vata type person who likes to be moving and exercising a lot. I eat a very clean diet and eat lots of organic fruits and vegetables mainly, but I guess getting lots of protein too. I tracked my food intake for several weeks and notice my macronutrients Is an average of 27-30% protein with a about 120-125 grams of protein a day. From what I am listening to in your podcasts is that too much? Can too much protein be a negative thing for someone who is active. I don’t have any side effects that I know of but just wondering. Thanks! Allison: Thank you so much for being you. Over the last 1.5 years I have been using your products. I have done the big five and done several protocols. Including candida, mold, heavy metal, and modified candida. I unfortunately still have extreme bloating. I look like I am pregnant. I wake up feeling like I have to burp. When I eat carbs or fruit I get automatically bloated. If I eat meat and greens I am ok. Please help. I want to eat fruit and other carbs and not get swollen. What should I do? Other then that I feel great. I have come so far in my health thanks to you. I am externally grateful.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1633 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1632: Desiccated Liver, Chronic Infections, BRCA Gene, Muscle Not Fat, Porridge Okay, Which Probiotic to Use (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral , I have leaned so much through your podcasts . Thank you . What are your thoughts on organ meats , specifically supplements like desiccated beef liver capsules, helping with histamine “intolerance”. Have your heard of this before? I guess the liver and kidneys have DAO? Thank you Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral,I have a history of chronic bacterial and viral infections which manifests primarily as chronic UTIs and herpes infections, as well as digestive issues. I already eat a sugar free, gluten free Whole Foods diet and I work with a naturopathic doctor. Each time I get infection she is able to help me clear it using homeopathic remedies, herbs and silver. But after a month or two a new infection is back again. I feel like the missing link could be nutritional imbalances-such as vitamins and minerals that are missing from my diet. I am sensitive to supplements though so I use spirulina as my vitamin. I would like to get your thoughts on nutritional balancing to help chronic infections. Also what is your opinion of ozone and HBOC for this? Genia: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am a level one IHP student. I am loving the course and I’m already bringing my knowledge to the forefront. Thank you for your inspiration. My question is regarding flax seeds and flax oil in relation to women with history of cancer in their family and the carry the BRCA Gene and maintaining healthy breasts and body in general. There are different opinions about flax - and even though it seems really simple to obliterate flax out of the diet completely I would like to understand all the misconceptions out there and know the truth behind flax. Some authorities claim its hugely beneficial fir its Lignans and fiber and some say it increases estrogen which can be harmful. Thank you very much. With gratitude Genia Gabe: Hello, I was curious about weight gain. I know the majority of your podcasts are on weight loss; but, what about health and weight gain. I am currently under weight and looking for the best/ most healthy way to put on good weight (i.e. muscle not fat). I was hoping you could help! Thank you in advance! LAL: Hi, dr. Cabral :)Thank you for answering my previous questions, this helps so much!I’m wondering about GMO produce, what’s the difference between it and hybridisation? Are seedless fruits GMO? Which produce is usually GMO? How can we as consumers know which produce is GMO? Thank you & I wish the best start of autumn for you and your family :) Laura: Hey Dr Cabral! I always have a large glass of warm water, squeezed lime and pinch of sea salt when I wake up (learned it from you). I then have some GF organic porridge with some vanilla DNS mixed into it and wild blueberries. It's absolutely delicious but my question is: I add the berries in the beginning so it basically boils together with the oats and melts completely. Is this a bad idea? Am I still getting the antioxidants and fibre from it? Patrick: Hey dr Cabral I’m a huge fan and appreciate all that you do , my question is for my wife she’s had ms for about ten years now and is on to much medicine to even list but I’m sure you know what conventional medicine has her on, we have done some of your tests and she is working with Laura. by The time you read this she will be finishing the cbo protocol I wanted to know if she should just stay on the clean gut everyday since we don’t have the money to keep testing every few months or would it be better to just do the cbo protocol once a year. I’m sure the medicine they have her on is destroying her stomach. She has been on your level 2 protocol for the past year.

1627: Quieting the Monkey Mind (MM)

A couple of thousand years ago an analogy was created that perfectly summarized our human mind... The Buddha, after deep contemplation in solitude, realized that our minds are filled with thoughts that simply jump like a monkey from one branch to another without ever stopping... However, the goal, if we want to keep our sanity and live with peace in our lives, is to be able to stop the jumping... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1627 I'd like to share with you how to begin quieting the "monkey mind" to live with more contentment and peace in your life - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1627 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1626: Wine Drinking, CBO Finisher, Feels Like Choking, Feet Are Cold, Yeast Under Control, Is Cassava Safe, Kidney Issues, Myomin (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Marina: Hi Dr Cabral. I will be finishing the CBO protocol soon and I am a bit scared of integrating the foods that are not in the sensitive guide on a daily basis. Should I be scared about having too much of other foods such as cauliflower, watermelon, mushrooms and any other food that is not listed? I really don’t want to live my life scared about all of these great vegetables/fruits. I am the typical person that can get very paranoid and think that my candida will come back. What are your thoughts on that? Also, I’m not a big drinker but I go out for dinner occasionally and I do enjoy ordering a bottle of wine with my partner. Should I still limit 1 glass of wine per week for the rest of my life to avoid getting yeast overgrowth again? Everything feels so restricted please help! Susan: Hello Dr Cabral, thank you so much for all that you do. You are truly a blessing in our lives. My question is: Why is it that we have to wait until we finish the Candida and bacterial overgrowth protocol before starting the gut rebuilding protocol? Is it because it is virtually impossible to rebuild our gut wall until all the pathogens are eradicated? Katie: I did the organic acids test and hair/tissue mineral analysis test last October 2019. My organic acids test came back great and my minerals test came back with some low minerals but overall great. Recently I have started to get allergy like symptoms and acid reflux which is worse at night to the point I can't sleep and feel like I'm chocking. Do you have a recommended test? I was gonna try the apple cider vinegar too. How many times per day is that recommended. Don: Hi Dr.Cabral, what is the reason my feet are cold even in the summer, when rest of my body is warm? Thanks.Love your book and podcast. Lindsey: Hello Dr Cabral - as always thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I recently ran the big 5 labs and found out that I have quite a bit of yeast and bacterial overgrowth - and leaky gut because of that. I also had high cortisol and with all of the combination of my results was told I am in a constant fight-or-flight mode and have adrenal fatigue. My food sensitivity looked pretty good at first glance, except it was explained that my immune system has been stressed for so long that it has lowered my reactivity to foods so my sensitivities are not showing on the test. I do not have any symptoms of leaky gut, adrenal fatigue, yeast or cortisol, except maybe some brain fog. My digestion is great, no bloating or gas even. I actually thought I had my stress under control and I even took the test during quarantine when my stress was quite low.I am currently parasite cleansing then on to CBO and other supplements from my recommended personalized plan.SO - my question is - if I feel so good and I didn't have any signs of these problems, how will I know when my yeast, cortisol and gut is fixed, or that I am not in fight-or-flight mode? I am now cautious about fasting, and timing of exercise. Also when can I re-test my food sensitivities to get an accurate result? Nancy: Hello Dr. Cabral, I recently tried the Siete brand cassava wraps thanks to you! I love all of your food brand suggestions. My dad is planning on starting the cbo protocol when summer ends and we were wondering if he can eat cassava? We don't see it on the sensitive gut guide but it seems to be gluten-free. Thank you! Mio: Hi Dr Cabral, I am asking this for a friend of mine. I think you would be the only person who may have some insight or idea of what to do for her. She’s 29y/o, quite healthy, has positive outlook on life and in great shape. When she was 14 she took half a bottle of ibuprofen and ended up having the Dr at the hospital give her charcoal to get it out and save her. A year and half later after she was fine and had no issues her kidney started failing. They found she needed a kidney transplant later on. Since then she’s been doing Hemo dialysis 3x a week at the hospital and has (can’t write whole name because I don’t know) FSGS kidney condition. She also has O negative blood. She got a kidney transplant in 2012 but within 48 hours it failed. They don’t know why. She’s doing fine now but I myself have had many issues (severe colitis and other skin issues) that I managed to fix with your advice and thought maybe you had something or knew of something she could do. I know you’re not able to prescribe or give advice but have you seen this before? Have you had experience with people in the same situation? I was hoping I could share it with her. I know it’ll take 12 or more weeks to hear back but that’s okay, I listen to every episode so I’ll be waiting to hear back, no rush! Thank you!

1625: Phlegm & Reflux, No Ovaries, Gut Protocols, Amla Oil for Hair, Ectopic Beats, Melasma (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Katie: In October 2019 I ran the organic acids and hair/tissues mineral analysis test. My organic acid test looked great with a couple recommendations. Recently, I have been experiencing bloating, gas and phlegm in the middle of my esophagus giving me a feeling of shortness of breathe. My primary care doctor thought it could be undetected acid reflux?What would u suggest given I did the above test 8 months ago ? Run more test? Or do a protocol?Katie Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have listened to your podcast for a long time and I am forever grateful for manifesting health in my life. I struggle to find a direct answers guiding those of us who have had complete hysterectomies - both ovaries have been removed. I had this procedures at 40. I struggle with weight gain, low energy, no libido and concentration/mood issues. My doctor slapped an Estradiol patch on my bottom the day of my surgery, which I've continued to this day. She said, tongue in cheek, if I want to stay married I'd never go without. I'll be 50 this year. What unique considerations must people in our shoes consider due to having no ovaries? What about pellet therapy recommendations? What about Estradiol patch? I want to pursue natural methods. I'm not sure if I'm harming my body and what options I should consider as I feel my hormones are not right and I'm really struggling. :-( Lorena: I'm planning to do the CBO protocol because I have a lot of digestive issues. However, I can't afford to do testing so how do I know if I should do the parasite protocol before the CBO protocol and whether I need to add the GSE drops as well? Just wondering if there are any specific symptoms that might help me choose the right path to take... So my question is basically: How do I know if I need to add the GSE drops and/or the parasite protocol before the CBO protocol? Marni: Hi Dr. Cabral! Have you heard of amla oil for healthy hair and hair growth? It seems to be based in Ayurveda and Indian gooseberry is the main active component. I searched your previous episodes on hair and didn't hear you mention it, so I was wondering if it's effective or safe. Thank you! Pip: Hi Dr Cabral,I had a holter Monitor fitted for ectopic beats last week and the results have come back saying that during the night the monitor recorded that I had Periods of Mobitz 2 second degree heart block. I’m 31 years old and consider myself fairly healthy. This has come as a shock to me. Do you have any knowledge or ideas in regards to this? Thank you! (I will be seeing a cardiologist when I can get an appt) Katharina: Hello! I am a long time listener and am working through IHP level 1 now. I am learning so much and am very excited to begin to help others with their health! I have healed some of my own gut and stress issues, but I have one that I don’t know what to do about.Over the last year or two, I developed melasma on my face and I am not sure why. Is there anything I can do to help it from the inside? My dermatologist wants to laser it to remove it. It’s not really all that bad, but if I could make it better in a more non invasive way, I would. Thank you for all your knowledge and I look forward to your answer.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1625 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

The topic of "methylation" has been a topic of debate now for about 20 years... However, science is now getting better every year due to the improvements in what we know about out SNPs/genetics...

1619: Metabolic Rate, Look Pregnant After Meals, High TSH, Low EMF Sauna, Fenugreek Oil, Breast Augmentation, OCD & Hormones (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Staci: Have you heard of the device Lumen? If so, what is your opinion on it? I am in good shape, eat well, do not need to lose weight but feel I’m not getting the most out of my food/exercise. I follow an intermittent fasting/carb cycling eating plan but thinking it might be too limiting for my workout schedule and 112, 5’6” build. I’m researching the Lumen device to see if this would help me better learn to intuitively eat by teaching me my Metabolic readings. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Ken: Dear Dr. Cabral, I'm a 79 year old man, still very active and feel quite healthy. I always had some distension after most meals, but for the last two years my abdomen feels consistently distended - I look like I'm 3 months pregnant! Is it safe for me to take probiotics to see if it helps? All the fad media keeps trying to sell probiotics as a magic pill for bloating. But I remember you said something like if you have gut issues, you wouldn't want to take probiotics until you fix those issues. Thank you for your help to clarify this. My wife and I love listening to your podcast! Molly: Dear Dr. Cabral, I completed the CBO protocol and finisher this March, and have been taking the foundational protocol supplements for almost one year now. My TSH for the last 25 years has been around 3.5, which I only learned through you that this is very high. For the last 6 months I've taken EN's thyroid support, but when I recently did EN's thyroid-adrenal test, my TSH is now higher at 4.3 (with all other hormones tested in this lab being normal, including cortisol). I'm really confused because I don't know what is causing my thyroid issue if I've tested everything (including iron and ferritin), and everything else is normal. I personally feel great and the only symptoms I have are scaling skin on my shins and mild hair loss. Is there anything I'm missing? I would rather get to the root cause instead of taking glandulars. Also, how long could someone like me be on the thyroid support capsules? How would I know it's working or not? Thank for any guidance you can share - I appreciate you so much! - Molly Greg: Hi! Thank you for EVERYTHING you do.I am looking to purchase a 15w max infrared sauna for my home. (To go in the "office" it is more important!) Please let me know which one you recomend as some are not "healthy" and I want to make sure I am doing more harm than good! Semi on a budget.Thank you!! Pam: Hello Dr. Cabral, I read that fenugreek oil is used in ayurveda along with a breast massage to help women with sagging or smaller breasts. Is this a safe oil for me to use in this way, considering I'm 49 and don't have estrogen dominance, since it has phytoestrogens? And would you consider consuming fenugreek seeds safe for the same issue? Thank you! You are my health guru and I value your opinion greatly! Michael: I am local to Boston. Do you do take in-house appointments? Tayla: Hello,I am currently looking to get my breast implants removed. I have done DCD and protocols etc and tests but still seem to not regain optimal health.I am in the process of consulting with surgeons and one has recommended fat transfer - they liposuction fat from different sites like thighs and “clean the fat” and then place it into your natural breast tissue..Does Dr Cabral have any opinions on this ?Some people have said they are fine (recovery is brutal) and others have said that they have lumpy breast tissue now which makes doing a breast check complicated.And I’m unsure as it has only been in Australia for about 12 years now but it was recommended as apparently I will have a concave chest wall until my ribs pop back out in maybe 6-12months.. and I won’t look “as deformed”I’m thinking it’s okay because it’s my own body fat ?But at the same time, toxins accumulate in your fat ..?But if it is washed would it be safe ?Thank you for all that you do :) Savanna: Dr Cabral- I found your work a year ago and my health has improved so much. Physically I am feeling so much better(My fibromyalgia, migraines , UTIs have almost completely gone away!!) thank you! However, mentally I still struggle(I have been battling OCD for over ten years). I have taken the organic acids, food sensitivity & heavy metals test and done the detox and those protocols. I notice my ocd gets worse around the week before I begin my menstrual cycle. My question is should I take the hormone lab or the neurotransmitter test?(if I can only do one). Second question is : my ocd and depression were quite terrible during my first pregnancy and I am hoping to get pregnant soon.

1618: Histamine Food Reactions, Fruit Sugar, Ulcers in Mouth, Chlorine Dioxide, Tendonitis, Fibro Healing (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Nellie: Dear Dr. Cabral, Can you help clarify a question about histamines and allergies? When I eat anchovies, I feel some tingling on my lips, but no other symptoms. Is this a possible allergy to this food? Or is it a normal reaction from anchovies having higher histamines? I'm trying to understand the difference between an allergy and being sensitive to histamines. From your previous podcasts, I'm pretty sure I don't have histamine symptoms. Overall, I score a 9 on your toxic burden quiz, which I know is because you've changed my life for the best! Thank you! Jeannei: Hello Dr. Cabral,Thank you for all of your research, knowledge and the support you give. My question is about sugar. I consider myself a clean eater and eat a lot of fruits and veggies every day. I hear so much about eliminating sugar from your diet and how important that is. I do not eat the typical sugary foods but does this sugar elimination include the natural sugar from fruits and veggies? I normally eat about 5 servings of fruit and 6 servings of veggies a day. Also on the same note I often eat protein bars as a snack and wonder if it’s better to look for ones low in sugar but have sugar alcohols or if it’s better to go for the natural sugar ones (probably again from fruit) rather than ones with sugar alcohols. Thank you for your help. Sandra: Hi Doc! I have noticed that whenever I exercise I am more prone to getting canker sores/ulcers in my mouth as well as feeling pretty fatigued overall. It seems like I am depleting myself of something but I'm not sure what? What would your take be! Thanks Sandra Giovanna: Hello Dr Cabral, I am wondering if you are familiar with chlorine dioxide also known as the “miracle mineral solution”? I heard an interview from Dr Kalcker regarding this as a treatment for many different things. One being parasites. Any thoughts? Thanks kindly! Giovanna Lara: Hi, dr Cabral :)First of all I would like to thank you for all you do, I finally have hope I'll be able to heal and one day be disease and pain free.. but today I'm asking a question for a friend who has recently developed tendinitis.. I tried to help her with your podcast and searched for it, but haven't found any, so I wrote to your team and found out you haven't done a podcast on tendinitis so far.. Would you be so kind and tell us more about it and what you would do if you had it or someone in your family or friends.. I really want to help her, because doctors are just giving her painkillers and I'm worried that will only cause more problems in the long run :( Thank you so much,Lara Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral, me again :) I'm taking a B-complex, Ester-C, Zinc, L-lysine, D3, Magnesium and Omega3s because I have fibromyalgia and I'm really trying to heal.. I have no money (currently unable to work) for the tests or your protocols, I would love to do your detox protocol but cannot afford it and also you don't ship to Slovenia :/ I eat healthy plant-based and do celery juice and another green juice, also lemon water in the morning but I'm worried I'm missing something.. All of my supplements are from XXXX, do you know the company? Is it trustworthy? I looked at their ingredients and it looks good, but I'm no expert.. so I'm worried if I get enough of everything in me? They suggested I could swap out the B Complex, Vitamin D3, Zinc Complex for the Essential Vegan Multi. Could you please review it so I know if the ingredients are good and the amount of them suffices..thank you so much! Your help means so much to me/us!Have an amazing day, Lara   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1618 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1612: Urine Therapy, Healthy Hair, Whitening Oil in Retainers, Breastfeeding Detox, Hypocortisolism, High Cholesterol (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    illian: Hi Dr. Cabral, love your show and LOVE!! your archive, I've been able to find a podcast on nearly every health question I've had. One subject I couldn't find anything on, however, is the practice of urine therapy (AKA shivambu). Since urine therapy has its origins in ayrurveda, I was wondering if you studied it in your travels. A friend of mine (cardiac nurse turned natural health advocate) healed herself of kidney cancer and believes urine therapy played a role in her recovery. She mentioned that urine's primary ingredient, urea, is also used synthetically in skin creams, that urokinase is used in medicine as an anticoagulant, and that urine contains all sorts of nutrients and even trace amounts of DMT. Out of curiosity, I watched a documentary called Urine Aid and even attended a small urine therapy conference. Unfortunately, it's been difficult for me to find a balanced view on the subject. People seem to either regard urine as a panacea or be too disgusted by the practice even consider its potential. Personally, I've only been brave enough to use my urine as a leave-in conditioner on my hair after washing it (with great results, by the way!). Thanks so much for addressing this taboo and potentially "woo-woo" topic! - Jillian Desiree: Hello, What food are best for growing strong healthy hair?Hair is made of protein so would increasing protein intake by 10g be helpful for hair growth? Eggs have a lot of vitamins that are good for hair. Is it possible to develop a food sensitivity to a eggs by eating them 4-5 times per week? I have no current sensitivity and no leaky gut. Dan: Hi, thanks for all you do! You've recommended oil pulling with coconut oil to help whiten teeth. I wear retainers at night and I'm wondering if I can put coconut oil in them to whiten my teeth overnight. Have you heard of this? Can you think of any negative consequences of doing this?Thanks in advance,Dan Nicole: Hi,I’m really keen to do a detox/ start a new nutrition plan but I’m breastfeeding atm so I’m not sure what is the best approach or if I need to make any changes to the generic detox plans on your website. What do you recommend? Thanks! Tim: Hi Dr Cabral! I am a devout listener of yours and admire the work that you do. I have heard many times over podcasts about your own health history. I am in the same boat as you regarding Addison’s, POTS, hypocortisolism, etc. I have tried searching through the search bars to see if I can find out how you were able to reverse your POTS and get off of hydrocortisone? My dr has be on florinef for low aldosterone and low blood pressure and just started me on 5mg of HC. I dont like the idea of steroids. I have tried your adrenal energy 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. I have done a adrenal saliva test but I feel as though it barely gets me through the day. My POTS symptoms have recently come back. I hate to increase florinef because I am already on .2 (most ppl are on .1mg). I have done a heavy metals test, organic acids, mycotoxins, and the saliva labs; is there anything else I am missing? The fatigue and pots symptoms Are becoming almost debilitating. Thank you so much! Hopefully by the time you answer this, I would have found a solution, but I would still love to hear what you have done! Thank you and God Bless! Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral! I listen to all of your amazing podcasts, in addition to my IHP training, and I don't fully understand the underlying causes of high cholesterol. After doing the big 5 labs tests, completing the CBO protocol and finisher, following the diet and supplements (including thyroid support and omega-3) for almost a year now, I feel the best I've ever felt in my life - and I thank you for all of that! But my latest blood work still shows high cholesterol, same as the year before (actually the total went up slightly, the HDL went down slightly) and I just can't figure this mystery out. The irony is that with your teachings, I have been helping so many people get well and feel amazing and transform their health, and yet I find many people of all ages also have high cholesterol. I feel so bad having it myself and not knowing how to dig deeper into understanding why they have it too. You mentioned you've seen people's numbers change, and I was wondering if you can do a course or podcast series on the root causes of this, as it is so common. I appreciate you so much - you are the best teacher I have every had and I would love your help in solving this.

1611: Vagus Nerve Spasms, Doomed to Be Ill, Kapha Diet, CIRS Reactions, L-Carnitine (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Carly: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have been suffering from a strange symptom for about 8 years now that as a nutritionist (and IHP) have not been able to get to the root cause of. I often have spasms in what feels like either my vagus nerve or my diaphragm. It is usually just one jolt-like spasm that comes on suddenly and out of nowhere, and sometimes take my breath away. It leaves me feeling slightly panicked, as it is hard to determine if it is a heart palpitation or a muscular spasm as I've described. Any ideas about what this could be? Thank you so much in advance. Yvonne: As we age, are we doomed to get illnesses or is there some way that we can maintain/improve our immunity to be as stronger as we were when we were younger? Yvonne: Do you have a recommended diet of foods to eat/not eat for a pitta Kapha who has had diabetes 2, was able to reverse with keto diet but now has trouble keeping blood sugar levels down when going off keto Beth: Hi Dr. Cabral!I have been treating Lyme disease, Bartonella, Babesia, and CIRS for around 8 years now (some have been treated longer than others depending on when I was diagnosed). I am an otherwise healthy individual in my mid 20’s. I have heard you mention on your show that chronic Lyme symptoms are often the result of residual imbalances rather than there still being an active infection. I would like to believe that this is the case but find that I still have very strong herxheimer reactions when I start new treatment protocols or change my dosage (I am currently treating with herbal tinctures and homeopathics but took antibiotics for about 3 years). My doctor says that this means that I still have active infections but is there reason for me to believe otherwise even with the intense herxheimer reactions? Looking forward to your response! Warmly,Beth Heather: Hi Dr. Cabral,I am curious to hear your thoughts on L-Carnitine. I hear it is good for weight loss but have also read some information about it that makes me wonder if it is safe to take. I have a very slow metabolism and despite regular exercise and a reasonable diet, my weight will not budge. I am trying to find things that will help me to finally get the weight off. I really value your perspective and would love to know what you think. Many thanks!

1605: Astrology, Hypothyroidism, Mushroom AHCC, Metastatic Cancer, Methylcobalamin, Low EMF Sauna (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Dani: Hey Dr. Cabral. Good day. Being a skeptic, I enjoyed how you put across how we're all energy and all that in mindset Mondays. I did further reading and have a better understanding now. I am however, still a skeptic with regard to astrology and how it impacts us. Don't know if it's exactly in your field but I'd still like to get your personal thoughts on it or if it's woo-woo and is really negligible. Keep up great work. Gloria: I want to heal my hypothyroidism and help with anti-aging things nutrients or so. Thanks Gloria Madison: I was wondering if you have any experience with the mushroom AHCC. I know there is a lot of clinical research about it’s effect on cancer as well as autoimmune related conditions. I didn’t come across anything in your podcasts (surprisingly), So I’m just curious what your opinion is on this. Thanks for all you do!! Jenni: Hi, I'm sending an inquiry regarding my father in law. He has a history of metastatic cancer, and cardio-pulmonary conditions like congestive heart failure. He's 86 years old and on a myriad of medications to address symptoms, including a diuretic. He's consistently in pain, and experiencing side effects from the medications. He wants a different option. I'm wondering if this is the type of patient you could help and if so what you'd recommend as a next step. Thank you in advance! Jenni Chris: Hey Dr. Cabral! I have been taking the activated multivitamin and have noticed since taking it I get a big jittery feeling and become very anxious. I can only tolerate 1 pill at most and through research I realized that the methylated b vitamins are most likely the cause because I have the comt homozygous gene defect. What are your recommendations for someone who wants to get all their daily nutrients but cannot tolerate Methylcobalamin? Thanks! Luann: Hello Dr. Cabral, What is the status of your low-emf sauna development? I would like to buy a sauna, but am worried about EMFs. Thank you!

1604: GcMAF & Colostrum, CoQ10, Probiotic Types, Nutritional Yeast, Zucchini on Detox, Low Back Pain, Lemon Water & Fasting, Glute Exercises (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Lindsey: Thank you for all you do Dr. Cabral - your depth of knowledge on all things wellness and your passion for helping others are both amazing. I have become addicted to your podcast and learning from you. I did search for other podcasts about this, but did not find anything. I am interested to see if you are familiar with Carbon60 and what your feelings are about it. Thanks in advance Yvonne: What is GcMAF and is it in colostrum? Is this a good product to take daily? I have heard that this should be taken with Vitamin D3 and K2. Paula: Hi Dr Cabral. My OAT showed I was a little low on CoQ10 (6.6). I’ve heard that it’s very important in order to burn fat (not sure if this is true though). I don’t remember Laura (health coach) advising me to supplement on it as she focused in other areas such as yeast overgrowth/low vit C, etc. What are your thoughts? Should I supplement on CoQ10? Marlena: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a few questions. I hope you don't mind answering but I only trust you!1. I am in the middle of the CBO protocol and even though I'd love to do the CBO finisher, shipping to the UK is expensive and so can't afford it. I know that it would be ideally the best choice but can I substitute it with another good probiotic and maybe take some glutamine and aloe vera on the side?2. Is taking a 50 billion probiotic with 10 different strains safe after getting rid of bacterial/yeast overgrowth?3. After working on sealing the gut wall, a part from continuing with the probiotic, do you encourage adding probiotic foods on top of that i.e. kefir. Or can you take too much of probiotics?4. What are your thoughts on rotating between probiotics in order to get exposed to as many strains as possible? Lydia: Hi Dr Cabral. Love your podcast and all the products I've used from Equilibrium! I'm thinking about my summer detox and wondering if nutritional yeast is allowed. Thank you for all you do Lydia: Hi Dr Cabral. I was also wondering why certain vegetable like zucchini and squash aren't included on the detox guide. Thanks so much! James: Hi Dr, I'm 25 years old but just the other day my back went and I had terrible pain in the lumbar region of the back. It was a pretty bad pain and It was even painful to walk. It decreased over the following days but It came out of nowhere and I know that something is wrong to be having this osteoarthritis type pain at my young age. Is there any way of fixing this, I guess just mobility and strengthening work? I just don't want this to get worse as I age because if its this bad when I'm 25 I can only imagine how bad it will be when I grow into an old man. Tom: Does water with squeezed lime and a pinch of Himalayan salt break my fast? I usually have it after fasting for 11h and then I have my breakfast after 12h. I’m not sure if I’m actually fasting 12h because of the lime… Maria: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you so much for all of the amazing content you provide. It is truly top quality information. I live in Colombia and I don’t know anyone in the US that could ship me the CBO protocol. I’m sure I have yeast overgrowth and I really wanted to do your protocol. What is the alternative for those that don’t have access to Equilibrium Nutrition’s products? Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have to thank you so much for your book "A Man's Guide to Muscle and Strength," which I love! As a more-vata-body-type woman, I finally have healthy muscle on my body and I feel so much better! I was wondering if you might share your top 3 favorite gluteus maximus exercises that shape and tone the butt, so maybe I can do a few more of those this summer. You are absolutely the best teacher and I am truly grateful to have found you! Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1604 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1598: Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, Vit C Absorption, Tums Alternatives, Interstitial Cystitis, Herxheimer Reactions, Anti-Fungals, MMS Devices, Hernias (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Cody: Thank you for all that you do. I love your podcast.I have multiple chemical sensitivities. If I'm exposed to any chemicals I get severe brain fog, numbness, abdominal pain, seizures, etc. I've seen many doctors over the years, but no one has been able to help. Do you have any suggestions on how I can heal myself from this? I eat primarily vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds and do not take any medications. Cody: I've heard that you do not absorb vitamin c if you consume it with sugar. Does this mean if I eat oranges, kiwis, etc that I will not absorb the vitamin c? Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral!I hope you are safe and doing well. I have a question for my husband. When he occasionally takes naps after eating he wakes up with an upset stomach. He used to get this more often and would take a Tums. He thinks its normal because after having a ginger candy (healthier alternative to Tum’s), it goes away. It’s still happening and I want to find out what the under lying cause is. My husband is very lean and semi-active. He eats gluten (daily bread and cereal) and seldomly has dairy. A few years ago, he had a kidney stone due to high oxalates so he doesn’t eat spinach and limits other high oxalate foods. If he doesn’t want to test, what are some things he can do to figure this out? Clare: I suffer from chronic migraines, interstitial cystitis, arthritis and fibromyalgia. I am only 22 and just in constant pain and looking for a solution. Tammy: Hi , Stephen I am doing treatments for lyme and mold and feel I don’t detox well. I am very sensitive and herx with all the treatments. I think finding out I had mold recently is a key puzzle but I feel something isn’t clearing out the toxins and I feel pretty bad. any suggestion on what to get checked ? I have done so many labs that I think I could probably say yep I have done it check. I have my own personal pharmacy and supplement store at home I feel . Also some doctors say you will feel worse before you feel better and other doctors say you shouldn’t feel worse and if you do you should stop the protocol or treatment . What’s your belief ? Thanks Aaron: Hello! I've been really enjoying listening to the Cabral Concept podcast. After listening to episode #796 on candida, I did have a question: I believe I have some amount of candida myself evidenced by Tenea Versicolor skin rash, brain fog, depression, etc., and I want to try to take anti-fungal herbs like oregano, capryllic acid, etc, to kill the yeast. But I'm afraid that if I start taking them, the candida will develop a resistance to them over time, especially since maybe once a week I indulge in a desert like cake, or pizza or something that feeds candida. Do I need to have these cheat meals less often before I start taking herbal anti-fungals, or are the anti-fungals so strong that the candida won't develop a resistance even if I do have these cheat meals? Thank you! Aaron Anonymous: Hey, I'm one of your wellness practice's private clients (love Laura!) and the reason I remain anonymous is because I work for Allergan and they manufacture this product. I wanted to know your thoughts on the safety of CoolTone. It's rather new, but it's an MMS device similar to Emsculpt. What are your thoughts? Thanks! Malinda: What is the root cause of hernias? Is it a nutritional deficiency? I’ve searched your podcasts and have not seen this issue talked about. After my husband had a inguinal hernia, it seems everyone we talk to has had a hernia or multiple hernias, something I would like to avoid for my husband. Our bodies can’t possibly be that flawed. What can he do nutrition wise to keep intestinal tissue strong to prevent future hernias and what can he do to heal the tissue that was surgically worked on?

1597: Skin Flare, Abortion Questions, Esophageal Cancer, Popcorn Okay, Candida Rash, Teenagers on Pill, Fibromyalgia (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Nayeli: Hello Dr,I am 29 years old and have lived on topical steroids for eczema. In the last 4 years I've had sudden various health issues, gut issues, H. Pylori, severe urticaria, severe allergies to foods, sever spread of eczema, skin rashes on my entire body, and around the eyes. Severe swelling around my eye glands and nodes around my neck. Many rounds of antibiotics for about 4 years. After some research, I figured it might be the long term use of topical steroids. Are you familiar with topical steroid withdrawal? Do you work with patients with going through this? I am 4 weeks without steroids and my skin is flaring really bad. I would really like to start healing my body from the inside out. I don't know what else to do or who to go to for help. Thank you for your time! Ana: I was wondering if you could give us your opinion on the potential side effects of abortion considering both medical and surgical ways. I found out that I’m pregnant and even though I’d hate to undergo such drastic procedure I really don’t have another option at the moment. Is medical better than surgical? I’m in the middle of the CBO protocol (due to yeast overgrowth) and I’d hate for all of the work that I’ve done so far in healing my gut to go to waste... I really don’t know what to do. Please help. Dana: I have read the Rain Barrel Effect and my husband and I have both done the 7 day detox earlier this year. My husband was recently diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. He is currently doing the standard chemo/radiation treatments. My question is would there be any benefit to him doing any of the functional lab test or would he need to wait until he is finished with the cancer treatments. Molly: Hi, I'm beginning the sensitive gut protocol in a couple of days, along with the supplements. A couple of quick questions: Is popcorn allowed? I use organic corn in coconut oil, typically. And what about red wine occasionally? I've had the organic acids test already and the hair test. I was told on my coaching call that I don't have yeast - but that this protocol would still optimize health. Great podcast. Super helpful. Thanks! Sophie: Hi there, My name is Sophie, I’ve had a rash that has appeared every now and then on my face, usually around the outer crease of my eyes, and cheeks. I initially thought it may be related to Candida as I was constantly getting thrush. So I did the Cabral Candida protocol. It was fantastic, it’s been over a year and a half and I haven’t had thrush since. But the rash keeps coming back.I tried adrenal soothe and no results there. I noticed that it flared up when I was “warmer” and drank coffee or consumed alcohol, usually wine. I see myself as more of a pita dosha and when I over heat the rash flares. However, I quit coffee and the rash kept coming back. I am thinking it could either be a parasite reaction or something related to stress and my adrenals. We are planning to get pregnant this year and I want to clean up as much as possible. But I am also conscious of my finances. When I look at the test kits, I am overwhelmed by which one to choose. I know I am not estrogen dominant, but I haven’t done cortisol and adrenal tests. What lab testing would you recommend? As I can see there are two hormonal testing labs? I don’t really understand the difference. Can you please advise the best course of action for me!? Much love, Sophie Amanda: My 18yo daughter’s first two days of her period have become so unbearable she wants to get on the pill. I know it’s not natural and not a great choice in the short term (I’m afraid it will exacerbate her anxiety and depression) as well as have long term effects. She’s active and healthy, eats pretty well for a teen, doesn’t drink coffee or eat a lot of sugar. Over the last 3 months her cramps have gotten worse and she feels nauseated, has even thrown up a few times. I’d love to hear what you recommend. Thank you in advance!! Shima: Hey there, just wondering about your CBO protocol. It's 90 days, I'm wondering about the diet. Is it 90 days with absolutely no coffee or alcohol?( just trying to plan when I'll be most able to stick to the diet) is there a diet protocol that even comes with it? Thanks a lot Jade: Hi Stephen, I have recently come across your podcasts on Ayurveda and determining your Dosha type. Do you offer assistance in determining individual dosha types as I’d love some help determining mine. Thanks so much, Jade LAL: Hi, dr. Cabral :) Let me start by saying how thankful I am to have found your podcasts and I am also very grateful that people like you exist, who dedicate their lives to helping others.. You are an amazing soul and I wish you and your loved ones all the best, just as you wish that to everyone in the world and help us get there.. thank you so much! I hope to be where you are now in life at some point because my greatest wish is to help others.. but to get there I need to heal first, which brings me to my question(s) (this is going to be a long one, so brace yourself ;) )I’ve been listening to your podcasts religiously for the past two months going back to October’s podcasts already & I just wanna keep going, there’s so much information there.. I want to start listening from the beginning but I'm having trouble finding the first podcasts.. I tried different keywords in the search button but somehow it shows so many that I cannot scroll to no. 1.. Could you give me any pointers in how to use the search button to get to podcasts 1, 2 3, etc.? ..continued in the next question LAL: Hi, dr. Cabral, here's my question regarding healing..I’m 32 years old and I’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia only last year after fighting debilitating symptoms & pain since I can remember.. in the last few years there were more and more of them and the old ones were just getting worse.. found Medical Medium last year and started drinking celery juice on an empty stomach every day which has helped me with a lot of symptoms (cannot be just the placebo effect).. then in July I incorporated other MM info which was basically going healthy vegan (no vegan processed food), no no-foods on his no-food list, no overt fats, etc.I’ve noticed such a change in my health that I just kept going, stricter and stricter and feeling better and better.. but haven’t been able to fix my overeating problem which I’ve had for a long time.. so now I feel this is really slowing my healing process and I have no idea how to fix it.. is it also because of all the restriction? LAL: Dear dr. Cabral, I have so many questions, even after listening to approximately 500 of your podcasts.. I'm currently unemployed due to my fibromyalgia so I cannot afford any tests.. all of my money that I try to save goes for supplements.. could you recommend any for my condition? I currently take a daily probiotic from Viridian, also their B complex, Zinc, D3, Ester C, L-lysine and Magnesium.. anything else that could help me heal? Could you please check out their brand & see if their ingredients are good and the dosages as well? What else do you recommend for fibro?I also cannot afford to buy organic, so I soak everything in sodium bicarbonate and then wash it under tap water.. is that the best option?I already eat a healthy vegan diet, basically only fruits and veggies, 1litre lemon-honey-ginger water in the morning, then 1litre celery juice, then half a melon, then 1/2litre of green veggie juice, then a huge 1,5litresmoothie (berries, banana, green juice pulp, spirulina, ashwagandha, cloves, cinnamon, ginger), an adrenal snack of 2 apples, a few celery sticks &dates, dinner is usually a huge salad containing at least 30 different ingredients (counting the herbs&spices).. tried to stay away from fat mostly and not sure if I get enough protein by eating this way..TY LAL: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I have some more questions.. Following Medical Medium protocols I avoided overt fats, basically, I didn't eat anything with fats for days straight.. even 14 days.. only fruits and veggies.. is that detrimental for my health? I have fibromyalgia and MM says that you can detoxify the liver by not adding any fats for a while so it can clean out toxins and helps fighting viruses like EBV which supposedly causes fibromyalgia.. what is your opinion on all that?Now I started adding fats in the evening (is that bad?) because D3 vitamin and curcumin don't absorb well without fat.. so, olives and seeds and nuts, but I read so much about it having to be soaked and sprouted (seeds and nuts) or roasted.. which is best and why? Is it ok if I soak walnuts for example and then roast them for 10min? Also, I'm sure I eat too many nuts per day now, I have walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, brazil nuts and hazelnuts.. how much is too much? Are they all healthy and have different vitamins and minerals?Thank you so much and happy healing to everyone!

1592: Why You Can’t Compare Yourself to Others (MM)

1591: C60 Supplement, Bronchiecstasis, Plant Based Collagen, Thyroid Symptoms, Itchy Hives (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Duane: Hello, I'm surprised Dr Cabral hasn't talked about C60 yet? Or has he? I've searched his podcasts, and haven't seen it listed… Duane Liz: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a long-time listener and often refer my family and friends to your website and podcast. I'm writing on behalf of my 78-year-old father who has two severe conditions: bronchiectasis and peripheral neuropathy. My father has been on antibiotics off and on for years for the recurrent chest infections and excess mucus that come with bronchiecstasis and make it difficult for him to breathe. He has also had surgery three times (most recently April of 2020) over three years to remove excess mucus from his lungs. Antibiotics don't seem to work anymore. How do we get to the root cause of this? My father has had peripheral neuropathy in his feet and calves for many years. He is not a type I or type II diabetic. He has tried many remedies over the years - foot massage, changing diet, some tool at a chiropractor's office, etc. and hasn't seen relief. What do you advise?Thank you in advance! Freddy: Dear Dr. Cabral,Like many others that write to you, I am extremely grateful for all that you do. Your sincerity is palpable and commitment to helping others is inspiring. I have recommended "The Cabral Concept," the Rain  barrel Effect, and Equilibrium Nutrition products to friends and family.  1. Are there any plant-based alternatives to collagen and bone broth? I am looking for the training and longevity benefits that come from these products but in a plant-based form. Any ideas or suggestions on this are much appreciated.  2. How can you maximize your Omega-3 absorption while taking supplements? Should you take the supplements on an empty stomach? With food? Early vs late in the day? All at once or should you split your daily dose into 2 or.3 times a day? Any herbs, foods, macros that help your body absorb them better? Omega 3s are so important and I want to make sure I am taking them correctly. After being on my current regimen for at least 6 months before I do Omega-3 testing.  All the best, Freddy Karey: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for taking my question today. I’m a Cabral Concept groupie as I like to call myself. Thank you for educating us who are eager to learn everyday. My question is in regards to the HPT axis. I was recently tested for my thyroid stimulating hormone and T4. My TSH was high (over 7) and my T4 was normal (1.09). My question is, since this appears to be an issue with the pituitary gland, does that mean that the hypothalamus and pituitary gland are not functioning properly? Also does it mean that my thyroid itself is fine. I listened to all your thyroid podcasts and I just need some detailed clarification on where exactly the problem lies in order to properly treat it. In addition, if I understand it correctly, it seems as though my pituitary gland (or the thermostat so to speak) is giving the wrong signal to the thyroid (since my t4 is normal). Yes, I am very symptomatic (hair dry and falling out, tired, racing heartbeat, etc). My symptoms are mixed between typical thyroid and adrenal problems. Please explain until I am able to get more thorough labs done. Thanks so much! Jenna: Hi Dr. Cabral- I love your work and have been learning so much from you. I wanted to ask about my friend who has been dealing with intracranial hypertension causing severe headaches & dizziness. She also has been dealing with itchy hives on the skin. She went to a bunch of conventional medical doctors including a neurologist that put her on diuretics. My friend finally realized it may be due to Breast Implant Illness and she got them explanted. The symptoms I mentioned have not gone away though and it's been a couple of months since the surgery. Is it possible it hasn't been long enough for her body to detox and/or she should be doing specific detox methods following the explant? Or-- does Functional Medicine offer any other insight into potential root causes for intracranial hypertension, since it's possible it's being caused by something unrelated? I know there has to be a better solution than just taking drugs to mask the symptoms. Any specific labs she should run, etc.?

1590: Pelvic Floor Prolapse, Strep Bacteria, Late Night Eating, Ammonium Chloride, High Cholesterol, Constantly Dizzy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Sandra: Hi Doc! Thanks for your amazing podcast. I have a question relating to lifting weights as a female, which I love to do at the gym and like to lift heavy. I have however heard many horror stories about how lifting heavy for women can cause the cervix & pelvic floor to loosen and even lead to things such as prolapse later down the line. I know that lifting weights is said to have to many health benefits, but is it really true that there is a weakening and loosening of that area? Both for my health as well as my sense of confidence with my partner I would want to avoid this at all costs. If it is the case, what would you recommend - only lifting light weights or doing kegel exercises to counteract? Many thanks in advance! Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral,I recently had a comprehensive stool analysis done and it shows Alpha hemolytic strep, enterobacter cloacae complex, and no growth on lactobacillus, as well as candida and many microscopic yeasts. I want to get rid of aLL the bad stuff. Is it ok to have any amount of alpha hemolytic strep? What is the best way to get rid of it, particularly the strep? Thanks for your help. Lucy: Hi! I was wondering - what would you suggest for someone who HAS to train first thing in the morning? What should you eat (cardio vs strength) how do you make it work? Is it different to men and women? And what about late nights also? Say you finish at 9pm and need to sleep by 10pm - is it worth eating? For example (using myself) - I train strength/cardio early in the morning, spend the day at work/uni and then train BJJ in the evening. For athletes should they follow 3 meals a day and how to make that work for this? Thankyou!! Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, Do you know if ammonium chloride found in salty liquorice (Dutch/ Scandinavian 'Salmiakki') is bad for you? I am particularly interested in any impacts on gut health. Thanks! Carri: I’ve just completed your IHP Level 1 program and am moving on to Level 2. I love all that your are teaching me to heal myself and others. I’m a very healthy 58 year old female who retired 3 years ago from a very stressful career. I’m now repurposing my life with a focus on wellness. Thanks to you I’ve learned and am implementing the DeStress Protocol for myself and my husband. We are both at our perfect weight and feel amazing. That’s the good news! My issue is that my cholesterol numbers remain high because of genetics (Total of 332; 245 LDL, 75 HDL, 59 Triglycerides). I have a 0 calcium score, clear carotid arteries, perfect EKG, etc yet my cardiologist (who is a great doctor) insists on statins every year! My Dad died of heart disease and my mother had quad bypass surgery. What can I do to maintain my healthy heart for life without statins? Thank you for sharing your wisdom.  Added: I was able to collect about my high Cholesterol: ApoE is 3/3; My Cabral Labs show Omega 3 is 5.5 with ratio 7.6; Calcium is 120/Magnesium is 5; Other blood work shows good Thyroid numbers and a homosystene of 7. Alix: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am so grateful to have discovered you and your endless wealth of knowledge, thank you for caring and giving all that you do. I have this friend, who is 22 years old, and has come to me with all of these symptoms and imbalances she can't seem to figure out, nor can her doctors give her a solution, except to go see a neurologist. She says she is tired all of the time and never has any energy. She is constantly dizzy (she also drinks a lot of water), has brain fog, and headaches. She started to try to exercise and cant seem to keep her energy up long enough to finish a workout, she normally would have been perfectly okay doing. She used to be on anxiety medication, but is now only taking Vyvanse and Sprintec. She has also gained a lot of weight the last few years and say she has tried to change her diet (although i don't know to what extent) and nothing helped. Also, she has frequent memory loss and after eating her stomach always hurts. I know this is a lot, but if you have any advice on how to help her feel better in any way, id be so grateful. I have seen her when she was healthy and much happier and I so badly want to help her feel that way again!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1590 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1584: Enzyme Reliance, Degenerative Spine, Free Course, Bone Disease, Vaccines, Vaginal Imbalances, Healthy Weight Cut (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Anthony: Been taking EN's Digestive Enzyme for almost a year now daily. I understand that the body can become reliant and produce less of its own enzymes because of exogenous enzymes. Given that I did the CBO and have a clean OAT in the re-test, with the occasional reflux/burping -- what are the best ways to wean off so I don't have to rely on them? Currently taking 1 every meal and would prefer to not carry them around and be "dependent." Thank you Dr. Cabral! Deb: What approach can be made to calm low back nerve pain? I have a S1-S2 that is degenerating and can press the nerves in the lower back against my spine. Western medicine wants to do back surgery that had a 60% chance of 80% or more relief. This is not an option for me. I still exercise and try to eat right. But at night have nerve pain that can have a dull spasm running up and down my legs which will wake me from a sound sleep. Need your thoughts Salil: Do you have any free courses? Jimmy: Hi Dr Cabral, I had a CT scan on my spine (not because of any real pain, it's a long story but basically I had one) and it came back that I had a minor wedge fracture of the C6 and C7 spine.The Doctor said this could be from degenerative bone disease. Every now an then I will get a shooting pain in my neck and its very painful, but it happens very infrequently. I just wondered if there is anything I could do to combat this, apparently it's normal as we get older that the spine can start to decay, I wonder if it's my posture of diet that's making it worse though? I am only in my twenties so not old. Any tips on how to heal or combat this? Thanks Dr.Cabral Donna: Dr. Cabral, I appreciate you being a voice to educate thousands of people so that they can make informed decision to improve their overall health and to stay healthy.I've been watching The Truth About Vaccines. Could you do a future podcast to give us the understanding between being immunized or vaccinated? Also, some insight into the ingredients in vaccines and how they can play a role in our health. Finally, can you teach us how to detox our bodies from any harmful substances that may be injected into us from vaccines whether we receive them by choice or by forced mandates. Grateful to hear your knowledge on this topic. Sincerely, DC Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do. I have three very embarrassing symptoms that have been bothering me off and on for years. I don’t know if they’re related. The first is a bad smell coming from my vaginal area. I try to follow all recommended advice (breathable fabrics, loose fitting clothes, etc.) but it starts almost immediately after showering and won’t go away. I also have extremely smelly gas. It will last for a few days to a week. It usually comes back every few weeks. I haven’t been able to connect it back with a particular food.Lastly, I have a lot of pain/itchiness around my anus. I have switched to gentle soap, using a bidet and hypo-allergenic toilet paper. It usually bothers me the most after I wipe with toilet paper but will also irritate me at night.I look forward to any insight you may have! James: Hi Dr Cabral, I asked a question a while back about healthy bulking and your answer really helped. Vata body type here so had to be a bit more diligent when deciding how to bulk, anyway, it's going well. I'll be transitioning into a cut in a few months when I reached my desired pre-cut weight goal, and my question was simply a reverse of my old one: How can I cut effectively and efficiently? There's not too much information out there on how to cut, mainly only how to bulk so I wondered if you could point me in the right direction on how I should cut for best results, obviously I want to lose mainly fat and very little muscle. I've heard just go on a slight calorie deficit? Is it that simple? I should mainly be reducing carbs right? Any tips?

1583: EGD & GERD, MODY Diabetes, Skin Issues, AST & ALT ratios, Myopia Nearsightedness (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Stephanie: Hello I am in the IHP level 2 and currently trying to help my mother with her gut issues. She has been on Omeprazole for years and treated conventionally a couple times with antibiotics for hpylori that was diagnosed by EGD. A subsequent breath test (which I know Dr Cabral is not a fan off for good reason) showed she was negative after treatment. She also has a hiatal hernia. Last year when I found this program I convinced her to come off of her Omeprazole but she suffer with it daily, some days better than others. Last October she started the CBO protocol however mid month 2 she went on a trip to Italy and did not finish her protocol. She then started eating bad again and taking her Omeprazole. She has since then completed two 7 day DCD plans and drinks a smoothie every morning with DNS, collagen and takes vitamin D omega 3 and some zinc and magnesium . She has the fatlossity program however is thinking that may be correlating with her intensifying reflux symptoms so she is cycling of it currently and going to see how the reflux goes for a few days to see if that is exacerbating her symptoms. She drinks hot lemon water and ACV every morning and in efforts to not take her Omeprazole she is currently taking an essential oil to help with episodes of reflux. They only help to a small degree. I have searched the podcast for weeks listening to all the shows I can find on reflux and hiatal hernias but can’t seem to get enough info. My questions are: What can be done for a hiatal hernia? Is surgery the only option and if she doesn’t have surgery will she ever get rid of the reflux?Should she continue the CBO protocol by picking up where she left off last October? Doors she need to do a new protocol? Should she do the heal and seal? If so when? I really tried to search for all the answers and maybe I’m missing it somewhere can you at least answer the questions above specific to her I would surely appreciate it. She is trying so hard but the burn in her esophagus is hard to ignore and she Is worried she will never find relief Lindsey: Hello Dr. Cabral, I hope I am not repeating a question, I did look through your archives for a few different varieties of this topic, but did not find anything.I would like to see what you know about MODY diabetes. I have yet to get an official diagnosis, but my mom and I both have the same issues. She is working on getting a genetic test to find out for sure. My insurance required doctor suggests putting me on Metformin even though I explain it is not supposed to work for this type of diabetes. We are not diabetic "enough" (yet) for a regular endo to be interested in (and I'm not interested in the only tool they seem to have in their toolbox), I have tried many naturopathic and functional medicine detoxes, cleanses, therapies and protocols. I do feel better about my quest towards general health, but am no closer to figuring out the specific dis-ease and dysfunction affecting my blood sugar. I also know that a lifetime of even mild MODY and pre-diabetic levels of blood sugar can be catastrophic in the long run. I am 36 now and need to figure this out before more damage is done. My A1C ranges from 6.0 to 6.3 for years, but I feel it may be going downhill. I have been trying many types of diets, eating patterns (fasting, etc) and supplements to experiment with their effect, but it is very difficult to get a good gauge on what works when it would take years to isolate one specific variable to try every three months and request an A1C test. No one, even the specialists (endos) have much info on this aside from what pills work on it and which don't - and the ones that are supposed to work are the really bad ones that they don't like to prescribe anyways. Help, I don't want that to be my eventual only option!! Do you have any experience with MODY, or a direction to point me in?Thank you so much for your time. Suzanne: Hi Dr Cabral. Your amazing! Could you please consider doing a 'what your face is saying about you podcast?' (I know a lot of skin issues are gut based but I'm sure there is more detail to delve into on this topic.) Thank you! Karyn: Hello, My 4 year old son recently did a blood test. The Dr noticed his aspartate transaminase (AST)/ alanine transaminase (ALT) ratios were out. My son's levels were AST 30: ALT 13. The Dr said the levels should be equal and that this signifies mitochondrial dysfunction. She said he may need more Vitamin B6 but other than that no recommendations were given. My son cannot swallow capsules so we are a little lost on how to go forward with this advice. I would like to pick your brain and ask if you could please let me know what would be going on in a 4 year olds body that would result in this abnormality? Is there a way to get his levels back to normal? If so, please share. And also, if this is a sign of mitochondrial dysfunction would you please give me some advice on how to support his mitochondria in the future? You're advice would be greatly appreciated. I have been listening to you for a year now and hold your opinion in high regard. Thank you Anthony: Dr. Cabral! What are your thoughts on those with high myopia and nearsightedness? I have -7.50 and -9.00 respectively with some astigmatism. The severe myopia I've had began when I was 5 with too much near screen use. I take Lutein and Zeathenaxin currently and Omega 3's. Beside's that, is there anything else that should or could be done? Can severe myopia actually be reversed if one has worn glasses their whole life?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1583 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

You may already have an idea that sugar isn't necessarily that good for your health, weight, or longevity... But if that's the case why are we so drawn to it? Why do we often crave it?

Being able to effectively communicate is one of the most important skills you could ever acquire... Without it people often don’t know where you stand on a particular issue or they may not be able to adequately share how they feel with you...

1577: Vitamin K2, Can't Eat Anything, Gardasil injection, Carbon 60, Amorphous Urate Crystals, Best Essential Oils, Weak Grip (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Ales: Hello Dr. Cabral, I am an avid listener of your podcast and a IHP L2 practitioner from the Philippines. My question is regarding vitamin K2 in your products. It states on the label that the DNS contain about 40mcg of MK7 per serving, but on the label of the Daily Activated Multivitamin, it states only total vitamin K (62mcg of K1 and K2 combined). So what is the exact amount of K2 per serving in the Daily Multi? Why not use higher amount of K2, which seems to have tremendous health benefits without the possible interaction with blood clotting medications unlike K1? Thank you Justin: I have recently found out that all of the "healthy" foods I've been eating are loaded with oxalates, which are very toxic to the body. This would make sense, since the healthier a try to be with my diet, the worse i feel. From my understanding high oxalates in the body can cause kidney issues, gout, fibromyalgia, fatigue, brain fog, and numerous other problems. Looking at a diet thats low in oxalates; dairy, white rice, mushrooms, certain fruits and veggies, it seems that you would be more prone to candida and yeast. And candida and yeast in-turn also cause oxalate build up in the body. This seems very self defeating and discouraging. The more i study fictional health it seems that everything you eat is bad for you. I don't know what to do anymore. Im mostly vata with a little pitta. I do have high oxalates according to the organic acids test i ran through you, along with candida/GI bacteria. Also my family has a history of gout and kidney stones, which i haven't experienced yet. However I'm having some type of Kidney issues with constant urge, low pressure, and dripping when done, waking up 2 to 4 times a night to relieve myself. Also i have lots of joint, muscle/tendon pain. Is their some type of vata/low oxalate/candia protocol i should be on? Where do i start? its depressing to think i may be limited to just 2 or 3 different foods and water for the next year or longer just to get feeling better. Renessa: Hello Dr. Cabral, I am a big fan and long time listener of your podcast. I had a question I was hoping you could answer, either via email or on one of your podcast episodes! Its about the Gardisel injection for women. Do you know much about this? What is you opinion? I have heard that there are a lot of side effects so I am quite skeptical but feel pressured by doctors to get it. I am currently 25 years of age.Thankyou, would love to hear your thoughts. Renessa Robert: Hi I would be interested to know your opinion of Carbon 60, is it a super antioxidant as some claim or is it best avoided? Best wishes Robert. Emily: Hi Dr. Cabral! I appreciate all the effort you put into making functional medicine knowledge accessible to the common person. My question is regarding cloudy urine. Very often when I eat (but not all the time) my urine is cloudy after. When I am in the fasting state of the detox or just haven’t eaten for a while, my urine is no longer cloudy and is clear again. The urine was examined under a microscope and the only abnormality found was a lot of amorphous urate crystals. Do you have any advice on what the source of this could be? I’m concerned for my kidneys and don’t know how to go about this, since all doctors have said it was not a big deal. Thank you!! Fiona: Hi Dr Cabral. What type of things should we be looking out for when sourcing a high quality essential oil? Is it important to choose "organic" essential oils? What is the impact if you don't use an organic oil e.g. would you risk inhaling pesticides? Also, lots of brands market oils as "natural and pure" however one would think all essential oils be natural and pure? Is this just marketing? Do you support ingesting essential oils that have been highlighted as safe for consumption by the supplier? Thank you. I appreciate what you do and your trusted advice! Emmanuel: Hi Dr. Cabral. I'm an advent listener to your podcast & content. Very passionate about health & wellness. Been a personal trainer for over 14 years. Decided as of last Friday to join IHP. Elated about that decision! Reason being b/c I've had this sense of urgency to help people on a Holistic level. Personal training along didn't satisfy that urge. I'm blessed to stumble across your content through another podcast I've listened to. Being an athlete my entire life it's always been easy to workout & stay lean. But as you know your exterior of your body is a small indicator of true health. I'm having major health complications at this point in my life. Being 35 is feeling as if i'm 75 right now! Issues are, Shaking & trembling in body. Extreme weakness everywhere. Loss of muscle. Pain in joints, especially right knee. Grip is real bad in the morning. Horrible balance! Walking down the stairs is nearly impossible. Cant' squat down or run. You mentioned in your Facebook live video for the IHP group yesterday that some of my symptoms are possibly electrolyte deficiencies but I wouldn't know unless i test. I believe it to be one of the following MS, LEAKY GUT or some form of Neurological issues. Thank you for everything you have done & have a blessed day!

1576: Indoor Cycling Bike, Severe Dandruff, End of My Rope, Retrovirus Deactivation, Candida Cleanse, Kennedy's Disease, Facial Cleansing Regimen, Hard to Inhale (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Melissa:Hi there - I am wanting to buy an upright bike and saw that Dr. Cabral links to the PYHIGH indoor cycling bike in a couple of his podcasts as the bike he recommends. I wanted to ask why he recommends this one in particular before making the purchase. This is the link to the one he linked to in the previous podcast notes:  Thank you! Jordan: Hi dr Cabral first off I’ve been listening to your podcast for a year now and I want to thank you for all the amazing information you give. I’ve been dealing with signs of Candida overgrowth for quite some time now but everything has gotten drastically bad recently. I was on your 7 day detox but after day 5 I developed a dry rash patch on my eye and servere dandruff. Not sure if that was any effort to the detox or if you think it could be? I have always had quite dry skin and dandruff however I have now developed eczema like rashes on my eye lids of both eyes, dandruff, severe acne on my back (however I don’t get acne normally), I have had on going yeast infections for years, slight white coating on my tongue. I feel as if this all points to signs of yeast overgrowth . I ordered the CBO protocol a couple months ago to hopefully tackle my yeast infections. But I’m curious to know if this is the right route to go ? I’m a university student in Canada so lab tests are quite pricey to order unfortunately. I also was wondering if it is possible for candida overgrowth can get so severe it affects organs or the blood? Thanks for all your help! Jennifer: Hello, I am someone who is at the end of my rope. I have seen 2 functional /Chinese acupuncturist with no help with my digestive issues. I can't began to tell the amount of money wasted on visits and supplements with no help. I have Lupus and I was tested for Candida and SIBO which both were positive. I have done elimination diets which suck and don't wont work. Also I even took a allergy test for foods. I eat healthy and what I am suppose to eat but I am a worrier and I do stress and I'm anxious about. So I'm sure that contributes to my issues as well. All these supplements with garlic, tuermic, ginger give me heartburn which yes I suffer from that, bloating,constipation. I AM BEGGIN FOR THE RIGNT HELP. PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE, HELP ME Sinead: Hi. I don't know if you have ever talked about retrovirus? I'm looking for more easily assimilated info on them. My son had art testing and retrovirus showed up. My question is...is it possible to completely delete retrovirus from the body and HOW? Or is just there always going to remain there to be activated/deactivated ? Thanks so much Lolly: Hi there, from some of the podcasts I’ve come to the conclusion I may have a parasite or Candida overgrowth. One of the podcasts directed me to the parasite cleanse, however I don’t see it anywhere. Is this now the functional detox cleanse? Thank You Barry: Hello, I recently found out I have Kennedy's Disease - Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) & was wondering if there is anything you can recommend as it seems there is no cure or treatments currently available. I have been suffering with the symptoms for nearly 20 years & would love your insight. Kind regards, Barry Jason: Hey dr Cabral. Just wondering if you have any suggestions on an all natural daily facial cleansing regimen. Or if you could talk about your own daily regimen in that regard. Thank you so much you’re doing amazing work Darren: Hey, pleasant day Dr Cabral. Hope all is well with you, your wife, daughters and those attached to Equilibrium Nutrition. I recall a podcast you had with Dr. Belisa with regard to proper breathing technique. If I am not mistaken I believe you recommend a 5 second inhale and a longer exhale. Despite my best efforts I can not make the 5 second inhale. It has to be really forced and I get overwhelmed. Most I get is around 3.5 second on inhale. The exhalation is no issue. Is this a problem that can affect me or am I overthinking it? Does everyone have different lung capacity so some fill up quicker or something? If not, any advice with regard to this will be most appreciated. I tried the single nostril breathing too and dunno if that's helping. I'm a vata pitta type, fit. As always keep up great work.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1576 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1573: The Real Numbers Behind “the Virus” Don't Lie (WW)

By now I think we can all agree that no one is saying that the virus isn't a real thing or something we should just forget about... However, what is now not-so-quietly bubbling to the surface are the media lies, deceit, and number forgery that big business and government hope you never find out about... The truth is sometimes scarier than fiction and the fact that media conglomerates can twist facts and statistics and get away with it is alarming... That's why along with dozens (soon to be hundreds) of my colleagues we are dispelling the myths and simply sharing an unbiased look at what is really happening behind the fear spreading... To find out the real numbers behind the virus tune in to today's #CabralConcept 1573 and after tuning in please let me know what you thought and if you have any questions! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1573 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1570: Catecholamine Support, COPD, Chlorine Filter, PANS Symptoms, Traveling Pain (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral,i am interested in your thoughts on a good chatecolamine support supplement? I've considered Procite I have experienced fatigue, apathy, lack of focus, poor memory, decreased libido, and exhaustive depression. Would love to know your thoughts and what you would recommend.Thank you so much! Cheryl: Hi Dr. Cabral, my husband (53 yrs old) has had rheumatoid arthritis for nearly 25 years and has also had sjogrens syndrome for many years. He has recently been diagnosed with COPD even though he has never smoked or even been around second hand smoke. His doctors are baffled. Could the COPD be related to the RA and/or sjogrens? Is it possible to reverse the symptoms of the COPD? Hoping to have him start working on the RA etc asap. Thank you for all you do!! Leslie: Dear Dr. Cabral, I have been on your 21 day detox and I am just finishing and going on to do the fatlossity program. The reasons are varied.. a lot of general toxicity complaints and I am experiencing a lot of relief from the detox and plan to do the quarterly detoxes in the future. Perhaps even a 14 day detox after 8 or 12 weeks of Fatlossity. I have one question. The thing that is difficult to get away from here is chlorine in the water. We live on a spring water system, which has many benefits, but it must be treated as it has been tested to have e-coli. My partner puts chlorine bleach in it every 12 weeks or so.Since we have lived here.. I have seen my face get puffy and a lot of sagging and aging happening very rapidly. I have always been a low starch eater and eat lots of greens and vegetables and no processed foods.. but still suffering toxicity. Thankful for the detox, seeing lots of benefits, but just concerned about the water we bath in, cook with and drink. Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral! Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy! Thank you so much for still doing your podcast during this pandemic. I truly appreciate it! My question is in regards to my son who has PANS. It appears that "killing" anything in his body just flares him up so bad. Dispite doing the child's protocol numerous times, adding liver support, adrenal supports, DNS and other wonderful supplements from you, I'm struggling to get my son back to baseline.Our local doctor suggest I try Sovereign Silver with him. I get conflicting information in regards to silver. Some say they would never give it to their child (especially one with poor genetics) because you can't detox the silver.I know you use it in your mold protocol. I imagine that if you use it in your protocols, then it is safe. Why is there conflicting information about Silver?Thank you so much, Long time listener- Lisa Ella: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for all you do, you’ve given so many people hope again. I’ll try to keep this short. I’m a 44 year old woman. I did the big 5 last year late spring. Started the modified CBO protocol last September, because of a lot of summer travel. Cut out gluten, dairy and eggs since then. I started to develop pain on the right side of my abdomen/waist area. I had an ultrasound that showed nothing, then I had a cat scan that showed some benign cysts on my liver, but showed nothing that could be the cause of the pain (insurance only paid for testing of upper abdomen even though I experienced pain in the lower abdomen too. It seems like the pain travels and sometimes my right lower back hurts, sometimes my right waist area, sometimes it seems to come from my gut, sometimes it’s near my ribcage, sometimes some of the above combined . My doctor has no idea what it could be and taking more tests is out of the question right now since we hardly have an income now because of the corona virus. I know you always say that there’s always someone out there going through the same thing as you. Have you ever heard of anything like this? I’m afraid to work out, because I don’t want to make it worse. I’m afraid to go to my doctor, because of the corona virus. I don’t want to go from doctor to doctor in these scary times. Also my tongue still has this coating on it and I still have nail ridges and hair loss (genetic), a lot of waking up at night. I still do the daily foundational protocol level 1 at the moment. I’m doing the immune boosting protocol on top of it. Thank you so much for your time and for listening!

1569: Vinegar on CBO, Rheumatic Fever, High Oxalates, Clean Toothpaste, Standard Process, Mangosteen Powder, Onychomycosis (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Donna: Hello Dr. Cabral Team,I just had a consultation call with Erica and already sent an email of questions; I didn't want to over do it but I have just a few more. I'm about to start the CBO protocol and wanted to know if it is allowed to wash my greens in vinegar water if rinsed well? Also, is it okay to add pure cocoa powder to the morning nutritional support shake during the protocol?Respectfully, Donna C Monique: Hello, when I was 16, I was diagnosed with rheumatic fever- which enlarged my heart. However, my heart eventually went back to size. Fast forward to my early 30's where I was diagnosed with RA. I tried a lot of natural remedies including raw vegan but eventually it got so bad that I was hospitalized. Therefore, I saw a conventional doctor and have been on traditional RA meds since. Fast forward again to my 40s, a little after a year of having my first child, I was diagnosed with PH/PAH. I was told I have a lot of connective tissue that leans heavily on RA but I do have the RNP gene that connects Lupus to PH. With PH - in addition to pills, I have an IV drug that pumps into my heart 24/7. My question is, considering PH is a terminal condition that "doesn't have a cure" and it only affects 10% of people in the world, how can your program assist me?Thank you! Leah: I am a student of the IHP course. I am nearly done with level 1 and looking forward to level 2! I am a 42 yo mother of six with a history of EBV and early Hashimotos, which I healed through functional medicine testing and protocols. I continue to make gains in rebalancing my body one step at a time. My question for today (although I have so many!) is about oxalates. How do you manage high oxalate levels? Both my son and I have high oxalates as shown on our OATs. Are green supplement drinks a contributor to high oxalates levels, such as the fruit and vegetable blend or others? (I have used Newsun green drink in the past before I knew about Equilibrium Nutrition). Another son (17 yo), who has not had an OATs yet, and has small amounts of blood in the urine with no protein or other imbalances detected. Would the fruit and vegetable blend be ok for his kidneys, even if his oxalates are high? I have been told to compensate for high oxalate levels by avoiding high oxalate foods or to take calcium citrate when eating these foods, but I would rather rebalance without limiting so many foods or trying to sneak calcium citrate into everyone’s food who won’t swallow capsules, especially for an indefinite length of time. What can I do to improve the body’s ability to handle oxalates and in general lessen the stress on the kidneys? Bettina: Dear Stephen Cabral Thank you once again for great podcasts, love them :-)I just heard an old podcast of your (540), and you mention toothpaste and mouthwash.I was wondering if you have tried toothpowder from Primal Life Organics. If not, I hope that you will try it and give your opinion on it sometime in the future :-) Another brand for Oral care is Living Libations I would love to hear your opinion on these products as well. I thank you so much in advance :-)Best regards,Bettina Lynn: I work with people that will only use Standard Process supplements. How does the DNS and Standard Process compare? The argument is that Standard Process is food and you are not taking anything extra that you may not need. Thanks Paula: What are your thoughts on mangosteen powder? I’ve heard it’s an amazing superfood with numerous benefits! Michael: I definitely have onychomycosis and maybe even some slight tinea cruris, most likely from getting dressed from my infected nails. Could you please direct me where to regain my health? Much Thanks.

1566: The 21 Most Common Causes of Inflammation (WW)

While I do agree that inflammation plays an enormous role in the majority of dis-eases it is never a root causal factor... The reason for this is that inflammation is a natural response from the body when something has gone wrong or needs to be attended to by the immune system... Therefore, instead of treating the inflammation alone, we need to be asking the questions as to "why it's there in the first place..."

1565: 7 Signs of Weakened Immunity + Th1 vs Th2 Imbalances (TWT)

Of course with the current state of the world we live in, focusing on our immunity should be a top priority... However, the common misnomer seems to be that we need to "boost" our immunity when in reality what we need to do is balance the immune system to ensure it can perform as nature intended...

1564: The 7 Life-Changers I’ve Learned During Lockdown (MM)

1563: Yogurt & Inflammation, Fluid Behind Ears, Enzymes for Viruses, Fire Cider Acidity, Oregano Tips, Marine Collagen, Zero Mojo (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Carole: Hi Dr. Cabral, My name is Carole. I was wondering about Greek Yogurt and inflammation. What do you think about consuming it and its effects? Linsey: Hi, Dr. Cabral! I searched your podcast but didn’t find much on this subject and I’m wondering if you could help me. The last 4 times I’ve been to the doctor they tell me I have clear fluid behind my ears. Each time they act like it’s no big deal but I’m concerned that it always seems to be there. I do get a fuzzy feeling in them every once in awhile and can also sometimes feel fluid moving around when I tilt my head. What could be causing this and how can I get rid of it? Thanks! John: Dr Cabral, I posted the below to the forum, and was suggested to ask you directly. Could you please let me know your thoughts? Many respected publications (NIH and NEJM) have describes how that inhibiting Protease may be key for overcoming viruses, including viruses use the body’s protease to replicate itself. I take the Daily Digestive and Daily Fruits and Vegetables blend - both have a lot of added Protease. Does taking supplements with added Protease increase risk of infected virus patients? I’ve also read that Catalese is important for fighting viruses, and this is not an included enzyme in daily digestive. Protease inhibitor drugs that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat HIV include (some of them being used by doctors to treat coronavirus):atazanavir (Reyataz) darunavir (Prezista) fosamprenavir (Lexiva) indinavir (Crixivan) lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra) nelfinavir (Viracept) ritonavir (Norvir) saquinavir (Invirase) tipranavir (Aptivus) atazanavir/cobicistat (Evotaz) darunavir/cobicistat (Prezcobix) G: Hello, I heard that you recommended Fire Cider. I have read that taking it as a “shot” can be harmful to the lining of your esophagus. What is your stance on this? Judy: Do you have suggestions on how to use oil of oregano. I tried using in water but the burn was so painful. It is STRONG! Jane: I read that marine collagen peptide is the best for your skin. I see that Equilibrium’s Advanced Collagen Support is derived from chicken (not fish). Interested to know if there is a difference. Jody: Hi Dr Cabral, First, love you, love your show. You are changing lives. Thank you! Ive had long bouts of low energy, zero drive, lack of interest in socializing, a feeling inside like "I cant do it" for as long as i can remember. I rarely show up and when i do, i quit due to the stress of it all. Ive played around with supplements my whole life -- thinking I had low dopamine i have tried using GABA, l theonine and tyrosine and each made me exhausted. Sam-E sent me on a 2 day mental and emotional trip of gloom and doom. Finally I did the big 5 + stool test and see my dopamine is HIGH (h-pylori/candida/fungus positive) (high TSH) Ive played all of your dopamine podcasts but you haven't spoken of having HIGH dopamine with all the symptoms of LOW dopamine. Could you talk about this please? Id LOVE some clarity on the sam-e experience. I cannot find articles anywhere that discuss what may have caused such a reaction. iv'e waited decades for this answer, whats another 6 weeks? You are the only one doing this and I appreciate YOU!!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1563 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1562: Pseudotumor Cerebri, Silver Uses, Histamines in Fish, Magnesium Stearate, Hashimoto's & Fasting (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Cheryl: Dr. Cabral, I have a 23 year old daughter with Pseudotumor cerebri. She has been on a diuretic for the past 8 months. What we have researched online it seems that the only constant is being overweight and of child bearing age. When this was originally diagnosed she was having vision problems and had to have a spinal tap to remove fluid to ease the pressure. Is there anything you can recommend? Or is weight loss the best course of action? She is probably about 5'8" and weighs between 170 to 180. She had loss some weight after she was first diagnosed and was able to get off the diuretic for about 2 months. Since then she has put some of the weight back on and is now back on the diuretic. We worry about long terms effect of the diuretic. Thank you in advance for your help. We love your podcast and I just ordered your big 5 lab tests and can't wait to take them.Thanks Cheryl Michelle: You talk about the use of silver. I was specifically interested in the silver nasal spray, however I always do my own research and feel concerned over Mayo Clinics opinion of silver - that it isn't safe and also that it colors the skin and can build up in the body over time and even cause kidney damage. Can you elaborate on where you get your research compared to Mayo Clinic? Why the difference in opinion? Simon: Hi Stephen,Are tinned sardines a healthy protein option (a few times a week)? I only eat wild caught and I have heard of others speak of sardines as one of the healthiest proteins (high Omega-3 with low heavy metals) however I know you have said in the past that eating tinned food is not ideal. What is the main concerned with tinned? BPA? Histamines? I am trying to reduce meat and increase fish whilst eating as healthy as possible but price and preparation time is an issue with most non-farmed fish. I am a very active ’hard gainer’ who is recovering (thanks to you!) from long-term IBS issues. On balance would you recommend eating tinned sardines on a regular basis as a convenient, healthy protein? Thank you! Shane: Hi Dr. Cabral Love your book and podcast appreciate everything you do! I have one quick question I noticed in your supplements I see there is Magnesium Stearate in your products. I have heard that magnesium stearate is not good for the liver. Just wanted to see if you can help me understand better so I can make a better decision. Thanks so much!! Sandra: Is that true IF (intermittent fasting) is not a good idea to do for someone dealing with Hashimoto?Thanks   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1562 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

It’s hard to imagine for many people that when you are trying to get in peak shape and condition you should worry about your recovery at all...

1559: The New Dawn to Dusk Diet Plan Unveiled (WW)

New breakthroughs in the nutrition and diet field are very far and few between... Most current diets and plans are simply variations on what has been preached for decades (or thousands of years in Ayurveda!) - and there's nothing wrong with that...  So, it's rare for me to say that some recent early research may just yield a new form of Intermittent Fasting that has some real potential...

1558: Important Must Know Viral Updates (TWT)

I've been getting a lot of questions as to why I haven't been doing my weekly virus update videos... The reason is that what I have to say (although based on statistics & facts) runs so far contrary to the media that it may be misconstrued without more context... Plus, over the past 3 weeks, I have been censored by YouTube & Instagram, so essentially only 1% of my audience are shown my posts anyway...

1556: Shungite, Frenectomies, Blood Type Talk, Oxidized Smoothies, Overactive Immune System, Teflon Pans (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Bettina: Hi Stephen CabralThank you for your great podcasts, they are great.I am looking into EMF and come across Shungite stones https://www.emfprotectionforhome.com/does-shungite-really-protect-against-emf-radiation/ What are your thoughts, do they work?Best regards,Bettina Lillian: Hey Dr. C!I submitted this question on the support group page but I’m interested to hear what you have to say about it as well. What are your thoughts on frenectomies? My dentist said I have a tongue tie and could benefit from the procedure. He said it’s potentially the cause for some of my “mystery headaches” and neck tension. Thoughts? I’d just love to hear your input on this procedure in general.Thanks!Lillian Rodney: I am B+ blood type and I am on a 2 week cleanse, I did a 1 week cleanse before and I really like to eat Chick Peas but according to my blood type the book “eat right by your blood type” does not recommend to eat these. Can you explain why this is a problem and recommend a substitute if necessary. Simon: Hi Stephen. Does blending smoothies containing lots of fresh fruit and vegetable (with a Nutri-Bullet in my case) a few of hours before I drink them reduce the nutritional value and/or increase oxidation (note i do keep them refrigerated)? I have also heard that cut fruit and vegetables quickly lose their ‘nutritional value’. What is your take on this? Thanks! Yvonne: I've been told that, since I have autoimmune, my immune system is overactive and shouldn't be taking anything that is considered an immune booster such as vitamin C and zinc as that will make it worse. If this is true, how do I know which things boost the immune system and what things can I take to calm/balance the immune system so I can then take vitamin C? Michelle: I just watched Dark Waters and wanted to know if you have any information on using Teflon pans now. Are they safe? I also wondered your thoughts on water filtration. I know you've mentioned reverse osmosis, but do you recommend that we test our water first? I also heard that reverse osmosis is good for some things, but not all. How come your toxic test does not look for PFOA? What other cooking products do we need to be concerned about?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1556 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1555: Daily Planner, Smoking & Vaping, Sleep Schedule, Iliostomy, Granuloma Anulare (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Deb: Can you tell me the daily planner you use. I listened to a podcast talking about your travel essentials, but left the site before clicking g on the planner. Darren: Hey, Dr. Cabral. Wishing both you and the family well. Also fellow listeners and those who work with you. I know this may be answered in 2 months and I've no idea what the future will be like with relation to the coronavirus by the time you answer this but I'm telling my friend that smoking cigarettes, vaping and alcohol consumption can make you more susceptible to contracting it and suffering more. They do not believe me because they're young and actually physically fit (go figure). I don't want it to be an "I told you so" moment but they'd be more apt to believe hearing it from an actual expert like yourself who has tons of research under their belt. There is also a debate for smoking marijuana instead but I recommended using CBD. Honestly I'm not sure if that wasa good recommendation, can you provide any info if you haven't already in the past 8 weeks on said topic? Thank you and keep up great work! Darren: Hey, Dr. Cabral. The same Darren again. I've issues with sleep. I did your recommendations from previous podcasts and I have no difficulty falling asleep but I tend to wake up up around 3 or so after getting 5 hours. Trying to get back to sleep is difficult. I've no known stress, do melatonin, magnesium, I meditate, I'm fit vata pitta type. Before your podcast, I would be okay with it and go about my day thinking that was ample rest but I don't know if thinking I must get 8 hours has increased anxiety ata subconscious level. My job is emergency related and we respond to calls/rescues at any hour of the night but that's like twice a week when I work night shifts. Can the nights I'm home be affected by that? Again keep up great work. Jill: Hello. My mom had an iliostomy, therefore she has no large intestine or colon. Would the strains in the Clean Gut Probiotic, and then later, the Daily Probiotic both be safe for someone in this situation? She did the big5 labs and was recommended to take these two probiotics in her protocols. She’s just nervous to end up with SIBO or some other unwanted gut problem if these aren’t meant for a person in her situation. Thank you for all you’ve done to help our family! Jill Rebecca:Hello. I was wondering where your products are manufactured? Thanks Pam: wondering if there a cure fore tinnitus Dianne: Hi Stephen and crew,I really enjoy listening to your podcasts when I travel 3.5 hrs to visit my daughter every 2 weeks. Thank you for your knowledge that you share with us all.I have a friend who is 61 year old female and she is suffering from Granuloma Anulare. She has been told so many different things and is totally confused with what to believe. It is now moving onto her face. The GA started on her hands and arms at least 2.5 years ago.

1552: This Ages Your Brain 10 Years Faster (WW)

I think in the health & fitness industry we sometimes make too big a deal about recommending people lose weight to achieve a certain aesthetic... It's certainly a big goal for many people (especially earlier in life), but it misses a much larger picture of a person's overall health & well-being... The fact of the matter is that every point your BMI (and body fat %) goes up beyond the normal range can ultimately affect your brain & body's capacity to stave off disease later in life...

1549: IBS-D, Recurring UTIs, Morning Phlegm, Ovulation Imbalances, Daily Detox Herbs, Chronic Pain Solved, Audible Book (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Simon: *Hi and thanks again Dr Cabral! I am wondering how to best avoid contracting a gut parasite/virus/bacteria whilst travelling. I have a history of IBS-D and parasite infections (multiple blasto infections, giardia) and will have just finished a parasite, intestinal, CBO and finisher protocols before travelling to Bali in June. I am desperate not to reverse all my hard work and healing, and also to stop my family catching something. What are all the things I should take before/during/after my trip to protect my gut and avoid contracting something? I am willing to go the extra mile and would love a detailed protocol. Ayubowan! -Simon Kirsty: Hi Stephen, thank you for everything, you a wealth of knowledge and I continually look to your podcasts for advice! Just a question about recurring UTI's - I've had success with your uTI protocol in the past and manged to avoid antibiotic use. I don't have any digestive issues and no other symptoms. I'm repeating the OATS test to see if any changes from last year. Can UTI's recur though because of biofilm in your bladder? I'm just wondering if so, what's the best way to remove these? Would this show up in the OATs? Much thanks. :) Erin: I know you have had both your tonsils and adenoids out I believe, and while I have managed my phlegm significantly I still end up spitting up small chunky bits of phlegm occasionally. They do happen more often in the morning, and less chronic. I am a Level 2 IHP, and have done all your protocols, and they have helped tremendously especially my gut and skin issues which is why I did your IHP course. I wonder if because I don't have my tonsils or adenoids that this is just how my body is going take care of it. I don't eat the major foods that cause phlegm, especially the common food sensitivity or allergen foods especially dairy, gluten, peanuts, and mindful of the other ones like soy when I need to be flexible for travel or going out with friends. What is your professional opinion on this? Meg: Wondering if there is a specific Podcast educating on natural ways to balance hormones after ovulation. PMDD with major depression, mental illness after ovulation until period. Erin: Hello, love your show and thank you for all that you do! I was wondering if it's safe to take milk thistle and/or liver detoxing herbs and teas daily such as dandelion and burdock to support the liver and detoxification? Thanks! Lori: Is the rain barrel book available by podcast at all? Sue: Hi Dr Cabral I wrote in awhile ago about chronic hip pain and you suggested I see a Chiropractor regarding impingement in the vertebrae in my spine. Podcast 1478. She sent me for x rays, 3 Region spine/pelvis, and she will be able to fix most of it but there is degenerative change in the joints. Osteopenic and spondylitic changes . I am going to do the 21 day functional detox but is there a supplement I can take to heal the bone. Thankyou so much for suggesting I see a Chiropractor. I never would have thought to do that. Her treatments are amazing. Appreciate you. You're incredible with your knowledge Regards Sue Isabel: Wondering if any word yet on Dr Cabral's book,The Rain Barrel Effect being available on audio format. I would love to give it as audible gifts for those friends who never seem to have time to read but they will listen as they multitask.. Please, please it's too good a book to not have it on Audible   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1549 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1548: Adenomyosis, Astigmatism, Microwave Substitute, Reduce Body Hair, RBE Audio Book, Breast Implant Illness, Structured Water (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Missey: Hi, I'm a 43 year old mom to 6 (5 biological). My GYN said I'm in peri menopause with symptoms of weight gain, low libido, cystic acne on my chin, moodiness/emotional, depressed, high anxiety at times, difficulty staying asleep, hair thinning. My periods are regular, every 23-25 days. They start as spotting, then get really heavy. Per ultrasound, I've been diagnosed with adenomyosis, which creates painful periods. She ran my hormone levels via bloodwork and said they are : Testosterone 22.36 ng/dL, TSH 1.66 uIU/mL, Progesterone 18.9 ng/mL. I've had cortisol and testosterone tested via salvia too and those results were: Cortisol 2.7 ng/mL, Testosterone 18 pg/mL. I've recently had two episodes of severe rashes under my arms requiring oral steroids and steroid cream. Over the past few years, I will have random rashes/hives, but recently it has gotten more frequent and severe. Maybe a separate issue, I've always dealt with constipation. My chiropractor recommended Standard Process Intestinal Cleanse and I've been taking 2 pills/night for the past decade as it's the only thing that would keep me regular. I recently started Faster Way to Fat Loss with Amanda Tress and am eating better than I ever have, but my constipation is now worse even with the Intestinal Cleanse. I exercise 4-5 days a week, stay active, only drink coffee or water, eat whole foods (mostly dairy and gluten free now), and get plenty of fiber (I log my food) and yet, I'm still dealing with constipation and bloating (I look like I'm pregnant by the evening). Could this be a hormone issue and GI issue or the same issue giving me all of these symptoms? And what would you recommend I do at this point because there seems to be SO much going on. I truly feel like I'm all over the place and doctors will just say this is normal at this phase of life and keep eating healthy and exercising. I'm really at a loss. Any help would be very appreciated.Missey Aaron: What experience do you have with correcting vision? I have worn glasses for over 30 years and have a minor astigmatism. I've been debating on LASIK, and recently came across a few people claiming they can correct vision naturally with longer lasting success. They are using a version of Bates' method of focusing on objects just beyond clarity and using slightly off prescription glasses. It sounds too good to be true, but then so does all the successes of naturopathy. What diet, supplement, exercise, etc do you recommend for improving vision? I searched podcasts for "correcting nearsightedness," "LASIK," "healing vision," and "eyes." All I found was a house call about omega 3 before LASIK, and nothing specific to naturally improving vision. I appreciate all you do, keep up the good fight! Shikha : Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for sharing your knowledge, I have learned a lot by listening to your podcasts. I am looking for a microwave substitute. What are your views on oven toaster and portable mini ovens such as hot logic and other. Do they have any adverse effect on health? Thanks Ann: Is there some thing that can be done to reduce body hair for men. Particularly back hair? Is there anything that can prevent excessive hair at puberty. Kimberly: Will the Rain Barrell Effect come out in Audio form any time soon? Pauline: Dear Dr Cabral, I have recently learned of you and your amazing work, and have already listened to many of your podcasts. They are so encouraging and helpful.1. I wondered if you are familiar with BII (Breast Implant Illness) and what your thoughts are on this. I have had implants for 17 year and only recently began to wonder and start to research if they are perhaps contributing to my now growing listen of ailments and health issues over the last few years. What I have read and discovered is terrifying to say the least. 2. I also struggled with infertility for many years, and had 10 years fertility treatment, which included 16 IVF's, plus many other fertility treatments which required the artificial stimulation of my egg production, and suppression of my own menstrual cycle monthly through daily injections. Perhaps at least 25 cycles in total. I have subsequently been blessed with two adopted sons, but wondered if these many fertility treatments could be a contributing factor to my declining health? I also went into early menopause at about 43 years old and am on HRT. I am 55 years old, in reasonably good health and shape, and follow a healthy eating lifestyle. Over the last 14 years I have developed food sensitivities / allergies, particularly to benzoates, msg and tartrazine which I cannot consume. Debilitating headaches, recurring sinus headeaches and infections, and over the last three years severe fatigue, low energy, impaired ability to concentrate or focus, inability to get a good nights sleep. This seems to be getting worse each month. I recently had blood tests for iron, Vit b12 and my thyroid which the GP tells me are all normal. I have had many antibiotics and cortisone over the years for these 'sinus infections' and headaches which I'm sure have damaged my gut too.The GP's recommendation is that I go on an SSRI, I'm not at all convinced. I would so welcome your thoughts and guidance. Thank you for sharing your own journey and wealth of knowledge with the world, you have given me hope that I too can heal and transform. Dustin: Hi Dr. Cabral. I want to start by saying thank you for all you do. I have been a long time listener and have learned so much. My question is about water. I have heard you say and have read a lot how squeezing lemon in water and adding natural sea salt can make the water more alkaline and gives it a charge. My question is: Is the water alkaline at that point or does the body make it alkaline as it goes through our system? Secondly, what are your thoughts about "structured water"? There are devices/home filters that you can by for your home that filter the water but mimic nature through native (natural) EMFs (minerals, angles, etc.) that supposedly restructure the water as nature does and brings it back to life. Have you looked at these much? I know natural spring water is the best way to go but the closest spring to me is over 2 hours away and my worry about getting water from a natural spring in the midwest is all the runoff of pesticides that has traveled through the soil and has contaminated all the water supply. I am wondering if structured water is the answer. I would love to hear your thoughts on these two things. Thanks again!

I love studying how successful people got that way in any area of their life...

1542: Zinc Nausea, Mimosa Pudica, Topical Iodine, Ionic Foot Baths, Far Infrared Sauna Sweating, Grand Mal Seizure, Plastic Surgery Effects, Body Type Suggestions, Night Time Urination (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Noel: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm a huge fan of all you teach and share - thank you!!! I've collected 5 brief questions below, and I totally understand if you cannot address them all. : )1) Zinc -- Are there any forms of zinc that do not cause nausea? Or that cause less nausea than others? Some people avoid it, even with food due to the association. 2) Mimosa Pudica seed -- What does this bind or “scrub” exactly?You’ve mentioned MPS, but I don’t believe I heard you say what it is scrubbing or removing. 3) What are your thoughts about using topical iodine for skin manifestations, such as basal cell carcinoma or even NOT BSC?Is clear iodine just as effective, like for the face? How about frankincense oil for a similar purpose? 4) Ionic foot baths -- do you find these helpful for heavy metal detox? 5) Far Infra-red Sauna -- Does one need to sweat for these to support heavy metal detox? Is it still beneficial to use FIR if one is not using enough heat or time to sweat? Thank you! I'm so grateful for all you share!: ) Noel COD: Hi Dr. Cabral, a few years back I had a grand Mal seizure (5 minutes long around noon the day after a night out) for the first time at the age of 22, and ended up having 3 in the space of 3 months total, all the same as the first type. No history of it in my family, MRI and eeg test we're clear, and saw 2 separate neurologists who put my seizure trigger down to alochol+ a night out, as that was the only common denominator, so they diagnosed me with epilepsy, put me on keppra 2x a day which I've been on for almost 3 years. I've had more intense nights out before and after any seizure and this has never happened. Having been on meds almost 3 years now, I saw a nautropath who mentioned that alochol and a night out is not enough to make it happen. I wanted to know your opinion, as of recent I've been thinking of coming off the meds, and question if I should even be on this medicine or if I even have epilepsy? (Before any action I will discuss with my neurologist but Im intrigued to know your thoughts) Lin: Hi Dr Cabral, I felt Quite well before I got 1/2 a cc of Restalyne injected into a small wrinkle in my nasal l. fold by a plastic surgeon 7 months ago. After the injection I immediately got a mild case of hives and felt a tingling/ hives sensation all over the skin in my body. My knees also feel swollen too. They crack when I bend. ( I’ve never experienced this). Should I continue to work on gut inflammation which I have a little leaky gut (but no h pylori or parasites) or look at inflammation labs? What do you recommend? Selina: Hi Doctor Cabral, I loved your series of podcasts about Ayurveda last year and I was wondering if you could maybe do a podcast about most common 'mixed' Ayurveda body types? For example, I'm kapha/vata: I'm pear-shaped and it's hard for me to lose weight. But on the other hand, my joints are prominent, wrists and ankles are super thin, my skin dry/rough and I'm always cold. So I'm very confused how to eat, work out, etc. as these two body types often get totally different lifestyle advice. Can't wait to hear your thoughts about this. Thank you so much in advance! Selina Darren: Hey Dr Cabral. Hope all is well with you and your family. If I remember correctly, you recommend limiting liquid consumption at night to facilitate uninterrupted sleep. However, when I meet the daily water consumption requirements before 7 pm, and go to bed, I still get up at least twice to go urinate. And it's a lot. Is it because even though you limit water there's still fluid there carrying out the necessary processes and eliminating waste? Or is there potentially something wrong? I'm a male in early 30's, fit vata pitta type. Or is the size of one's bladder a factor here? As always keep up great work   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1542 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1541: Painful Cysts, Infradian Rhythm, Periods Too Far Apart, Inflamed Organs, Sensitive Hearing/ Misophonia (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jill: Hi, Dr. Cabral! I am so grateful to have found you and your invaluable resources! I stopped taking hormonal birth control approx 18 mos ago after using it for 10 yrs. Cycle returned normally, but within 2 mos, I began having breakouts on my face and back which have gotten worse. I have consistent painful cysts just under my cheek bones and generally clogged pores on my forehead/chin, too. Sometimes slight improvement for a few days just after my period, but fairly relentless. Never had breakouts before starting/while taking BC. Also have a day or two of slight headache/brain fog/low mood usually just before my period, I think. Other than lowered confidence and libido due to acne, I feel good/balanced mentally and physically.About me...I am 33, 5'3/consistent 113lbs, I think pitta/vatta body type. Have always had a serious appetite/fast metabolism and struggle to make it between meals w/o a snack. Never snack after dinner and do a 12hr overnight fast. Typically 2 bowel movements/day and no digestive issues as long as I pay attention to food combining/timing. I do a fasted CrossFit workout 3-4 days/week at 5:00 am and yoga 1-2 days/week. Barely get 7 hrs of sleep Su-R (due to work/workout schedule, working to improve!) and get 7-8.5 hrs F-Sa. Recently swapped from coffee to matcha. Try to avoid dairy, gluten, refined sugar, soy, and unhealthy oils M-F with a few cheats on the weekend. Rarely drink aIcohol. I have a daily smoothie w/DNS and supplement with omega-3, bone broth, and a berries/greens probiotic/digestive enzyme blend. I took Vit C and Zinc for a period and it may have helped, but skin may have worsened since starting the probiotic. Not 100% sure! I practice good facial hygeine with a fairly clean salicylic acid-based acne treatment kit. I am way overdue for PCP, OBGYN, & dentist visits, so I will schedule these. I am also planning my first 21-day detox w/in the next 2 mos. If it doesn't solve the problem, what should I do next? I would love to hear your ideal recommendation, and also a more budget conscious alternative. Thank you so much!Jill Cynthia: I’m a 41 yo female and I’ve been reading Alisa Vitti’s new book about female hormones. In this book she suggests that women should eat, work out and basically plan their whole life not according to the 24-hour circadian rhythm, but a 28-day infradian rhythm. This means changing the way you eat, exercise work, social interactions, etc. almost every week. I really love working out and intermittent fasting every day, but she says this is basically destroying my hormones.. What do you think about that? Thanks a million for your answer! C. Carolina: Dear doctor Cabral, I’m a fit, happy and healthy 43 year old woman. My only heath problem is that my periods are super far apart. I get one every 40-50 days.I work out (moderate-pace resistance training and walk 15.000 steps) 6 days a week and I do 16:8 intermittent fasting for about 5-6 days as well. I eat super healthy, organic and mostly vegan food.I really feel and look amazing, people always think I’m in my early 30s :) But I’ve read that this way of life might be the reason my period is all messed up.I really don’t want to give up training because it’s not super intense and I don’t want to lose my muscle mass as I’m getting older.And according to my Oura ring, I sleep and have much higher HRV when I’m fasting.So what would you suggest for me to change in order regulate my female hormones? I would really like to still keep my workouts and IF fasting, just because I feel so good doing them. But in the end, I’ve been listening to your podcast for 3 years now, I trust you fully and I will follow your advise, whatever it is.Thanks for all you do! Much love, Carolina Corrie: Hello, For almost 8 years I’ve been experiencing various symptoms that affect all systems in my body. Multiple food intolerances, medication intolerances that cause me to feel either dizzy, heart races, headaches, hand tremors, abdominal bloating and gas, pelvic pain, blood in stool, hypoglycemia( pre diabetic A1C 5.7), constipation, reflux and heart burn, fatigue, achy muscles, bad breath, constant urination, TMJ discomfort. I’ve seen over 50 doctors, from specialists to holistic care, emergency room physicians etc. I have been diagnosed with SIBO, endometriosis, colitis and fructose malabsorption but non of the treatments have resolved any of the above symptoms. I’ve had functional medicines labs/test which only shows fat in my stool, low vitamin d and b, and a bacteria in my urine that shows I do not break down carbohydrates. At one point I have eliminated the foods that caused symptoms but then I not only lost 50lbs I was not keeping on any weight from the foods I was able to tolerate. Now I’ve gained all my weight back and more and I am intolerant to almost all foods and even feel dizzy drinking water. I can’t eat any fruit because I get dizzy, sweet potatoes oats pasta quinoa drop my sugar. Bread makes my heart race. I have to eat every 2 hours. My muscles shake after exercise Sometimes my heart rate does not increase with exercise. My heart rate can be 58 at rest. Ive had multiple test done MRI pancreas,brain, EKG, EMG, EEG, CT scans of abdomen and pelvis, glucose intolerance test which dropped my sugar to 52 after an hour, ultrasound of abdominal organs, urine test, nuclear med scans to see if I have a dumping syndrome or gallbladder problems, cytograms , etc all test negative. I went to NYU Dysautonomia center and tested negative for those test. I’m told I’m a medical mystery. To stop seeing doctors and practice tai chi. That it’s all related to anxiety so to see a therapist. Psycho somatic. I had a body scan that’s used for people in NASA and it shows I have a parasite, bladder issues, intestinal problems. Can you please help? Corrie Ryan: I have a friend with really sensitive hearing and things like chewing and other background noises can really aggravate her. She says it is misophonia, which seems to fit the symptoms, but from a FM perspective is obviously just a name. Any insight into potential imbalances or root causes for misophonia?

1537: Noble Prize Winning Stem Cell Discovery May Add 20 Years to Your Life (TWT)

I've always maintained that the only reason people would want to live a longer life is if they could still maintain their health, body, and mind... I personally believe this as well, since quality of life means so much in terms of your enjoyment of living... It's also why I believe so much in the power of Natural Medicine which helps to rebalance the underlying root causes of what ails so many people...

1536: Talent Is Overrated - Here's What You Need to Succeed (MM)

While it's nice to be talented at something, even talent only goes so far as to whether or not you will succeed at something... Some of the most talented people in a sport, profession, or life skill never amounted to the potential they had inside... This is why I believe that talent is overrated and I'd like to share with you what I believe you need to succeed in any area of life...

1535: Cosmetic Surgery, Reward Bars, Ammonia Smelling Salts, Blending Fruit & Vegetables, Many Smoothie Questions (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Dar: Hey Dr. Cabral. What are your thoughts on the trend of women booking post pregnancy makeovers from cosmetic surgeons while still in early stages of pregnancy? Shouldn't they explore options of safe exercise, healthy nutrition and try working to get their so-called ideal body or is it really a non-issue and it's okay many are now going that route to get the "celeb" body weeks after giving birth? My friend is considering to do it and I really want to tell her try other options but the procedure and results are so appealing for them and I am not sure of longterm or potential health risk to properly caution her. BTW, have a great day. Donna: Daer Dr. Cabral Team, Is it possible to add the protein bars to the rewards program? It would be an awesome treat (reward).Respectfully, Donna C Jane: Hi Dr. Cabral I was wondering what your approach would be to try to shrink a benign Schwannoma tumor, and if you have any knowledge to regain damage nerves caused by it. I have one that was discovered last year but was told it has been there for around 30 years.Because of the size and the fear of damaging more nerves the surgeon at Brigham and women’s was only able removed part of the tumor. The remaining part is about 4cm by 5cm located at L5 to S2. With no feelings/numbness on the left side of it and down the left leg. Currently I am trying acupuncture once a month and just purchased a infrared sauna and I’ve been doing 21 to 28 day detoxes 2X a year for the past 10 years. Any thoughts would be appreciated.Thanks for all you do! Rachel: Hi! What do you think of ammonia smelling salts that are used for power lifting athletes?I see lots of research in it being safe, but I wanted to know what Stephen Cabral’s perspective on this topic is.Thanks! Carmen: Is it true that blending vegetables and fruits leads to a massive loss of both nutrients and fibre given the oxidation? Simon: Hello Dr Stephen 'Smoothie King' Cabral! How about a smoothie masterclass'? I have made smothies my go breakfast but I have so many questions, even after listening to all the related podcasts and your book. I am a hard gainer (Vata/Pita) with a large apetite and health goals of: lean muscle gain, longevity and healing my gut (I am half way through your CBO gut protocols). My questions are:I need to add quite a bit of fat (coconut cream, avocado, eggs, nuts or MCT oil) or carbs/fibre (banana, cauliflower, oats) or protien (eggs) to my shakes to make them satiating and get me through to lunch (2-3hr+). Does adding too much fat/fibre/protein make them harder to digest and reduce the benefits of having a smoothie, or is this still optimal as long as it is all blended?Are there downsides (for digestion) to putting too many different ingredients in a smoothie? Any food combinations to avoid ? Or does blending make this all ok? At present I have 8-15 ingredients, including: coconut milk, fruit: 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup blueberries + strawberries; vegies/fiber: cooked cauliflower, raw spinach; protein: 2 eggs, collagen protien and/or hemp protien; fats: coconut cream or MCT oil, avocado, almonds or coconut flesh; spices: cinnamon, ginger, turmeric! And even cooked rice or cold porrige when I need to fuel an endurance workout. Too much? Should I stick to larger amounts of fewer ingredients or is a diverse mix ok?If i am already well hydrated (12+oz water upon waking and ongoing through day) do I need to add so much extra water to my smoothie? Are there benefits to diluting my smoothie beyond hydration and weight loss (filling up on water)?Why sip the shake over an hour? If I am hungry can I just drink it at a normal pace (10mins)?Does the normal '3hr+ between meals' apply if it is a blended smoothie (in my case a substantial one) and is this from the end of drinking if you sip over an hour?Thanks so much!-Simon   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1535 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1534: Viagra, Tofu & Phytoestrogens, High Carb Diets, Reintroducing Carbs, Oral Biofilms, Nasolabial Lines (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Dean: Hi Dr Cabral, what are your thoughts on Viagra? Will it affect the stomach or hormones over the short term? I am working on the underlying issue but until then do you think it is ok to use without too many negative side effects on the stomach or hormones? I am not worried about my heart Valeria: Hi dr.cabral, I read in your book that I suggest only 1-2 servings of tofu a week due to the phytoestrogens. However, do you have a recommended limit to vital wheat gluten a week given its used as a popular high protein alternative to meat? Even if one isnt gluten intolerant. Ryan: Do you know of the old Rice-Fruit diet experiment, and other such high carb, low fat diet studies on diabetes and insulin sensitivity? Seems to turn conventional wisdom on its head when it comes to blood sugar control. More carbs and less fat seems to enhance insulin sensitivity. Thoughts on dietary fat vs. carbs for insulin resistance/sensitivity? Samantha: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all that you do! I had amazing success with the first phase of your Fatlossity system, I felt energized, lost 2 pounds every  week, had even energy and finally overcame my sugar addiction with ease. However, during the second phase when I added berries into my smoothie my sugar cravings came back with vengeance. I'm sad to say that I gained some weight back due to mindless eating and giving into my cravings. My stress levels are low (I'm a yoga and meditation instructor and am taking two months off to travel soon so my mind and heart feel happy).Does this happen when reintroducing fruit or starches after a hiatus? And what should my next move be, to resume phase one or two of Fatlossity? Perhaps a Detox instead? I feel defeated and would love any advice. Thank you, Samantha Jim: I was wondering if the FloraFilm on Equilibrium nutrition can be taken to remove bio films from bacteria in the mouth. Specifically for bacterial periodontal disease to remove high risk pathogens. Could the capsules be opened and swished orally during oil pulling? What suggestions do you have to remove the bacteria aside from antibiotics? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Dani: Hey Dr. Cabral. Great show as always. I'm not certain if this is exactly in your filed of expertise but is there any way to remove or minimise nasolabial lines and discolourations in a safe, non surgical way? Since listening your program I avoid using facial products with parabens, dyes, red 3,green,yellow,blue,titanium dioxide etc because of the potential rain barrel overflow. Is there any help you can recommend for anti-aging for those in mid 30's or is it something we must accept? As always keep up great work   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1534 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1528: Genetic Issue, Ear Infections, Gut Protocols, Short-Term Carnivore Diet, H1 & H2 Receptors (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Lucas: Dear dr. Cabral,First of all I’d like to thank you for your daily podcast. They’ve been educating, teaching and changing me in my everyday life. Moreover, your mission of spreading knowledge about health and well-being helped me to change everyday being, and of my family and friends.I am not the one the ask for help (I’ve been blessed with good health) But this is a special circumstance, for my dear friend. I live in Amsterdam and have been blessed to part of a very warm, ambitious, intelligent, fun loving group of friends.Since December 2019 one of my best girlfriends have been diagnosed with Ehlers danlos type 4 (vascular). Apparently it has been running in her family. Her mother got paralyzed passed away and her uncle passed away as well.I’ve done your 21 day detox last August of 2019. I’m a ex-Prof athlete, and especially since then I believe in the healing power of your body and the teaching of Ayurveda and it’s healing methods.Could you please help me by helping out explain the nature of this disease and how to possibly solve it.I and my social circle appreciate everything you do. Everyday is a pleasure. Thank you!Much love, Lucas Joelle: Hi dr Cabral,I have questions about babies 1 yr up.My daughter who is 1 constantly gets ear infections, you spoke of garlic oil and and drops from herb pharm that you put in your daughters ears, is this for all ages? Also you have been speaking of red meat and how we should only eat it once a week does this go for children as well? The nurses and drs here are saying babies/children should be eating meat once a day every day. I’m torn between listening to them and myself and feeling guilty when I reduce her meat intake... what do you think?Thanks! Kelly: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for the knowledge you provide. I have done your CBO protocol twice without cheating during both and I still test positive to candida and my symptoms are still the same. I used the GSE drops and GI balance and it still hasn't fixed it yet. I obviously don't want to do a third CBO because as the saying goes doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. I only had low levels of heavy metals and wasn't told anything about mold from my tests. What would you recommend me doing now? Kelly: Hi Dr Cabral, I know you don't recommend doing the carnivore diet for a long period and I agree with you but do you think that it could help over short periods to help get rid of candida, especially after doing two CBO protocol? Also, would it be good as an extreme elimination diet if I am sensitive to oxalates and lectins? John: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you in advance for your help. I was taking a steroidal nasal spray for my dust mite allergy that was helping a lot. I must have histamine intolerance or mast cell activation because I also have never been able to push myself too hard in the gym without my nose running crazy for 3 days. After about a month on the nasal spray, I started getting bad anxiety out of nowhere. I believe that the nasal spray has done something to my H3 receptor causing the anxiety, what do you think may have happened or what could be causing the anxiety? I have ordered your Histpro but I am not that hopeful of it helping even though it i natural because antihistamines do help stop my nose from running if I go too hard at the gym but don't stop the anxiety.

1527: Asherman’s Syndrome, Polyethylene Glycol Solution, Fish Body Odor, Low Growth in Child, No Diagnosis from Lab Work (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Makenzie: Hello!My name is Makenzie, I have been listening to the Cabral Concept for years and have learned so much! I am not sure if I am asking this question on the right platform but I don’t have Facebook so therefore can’t be a part of that private group. I had my third baby a year and a half ago and hemorrhaged pretty badly after and had to have a d & c to retrieve a piece of my placenta that was left behind after the birth. Fast forward a year and a half and I still haven’t gotten my period back, but I have cyclic pains as if they were a period. I have tentatively been diagnosed with Ashermans ‘a Syndrome but it hasn’t been confirmed through a hysteroscopy. My doctor wants me to go on estrogen supplements for two months and then go on for a hysteroscopy, but I am wondering if there is another way. I recently started taking systemic enzymes in hopes that it would clean up the scar tissue that may have built up. I have been reading that there are some aruveydic herbs that might help. I am just wondering if anyone in your office has any experience with anything like this.Thank you!! K: Hello Stephen,What is your opinion on children taking polyethylene glycol solution (PEG)? My child was diagnosed with a bowel obstruction and an enlarged large intestine. She has been recommended to take PEG daily for the next 6 months to help reduce the size of her colon.Since an initial intestinal cleanse, mega dosing PEG, her bowel motions are now very loose and multiple times a day. She has completed the parasite and CBO products before. She has a very high fibre diet, mostly cooked and puréed vegetables, legumes, chicken, fruit and nuts & seeds.What would your advice be for treatment and prevention of future bowel obstructions? And also what is your advise regarding her loose stools.Thanks Leslie: I was working with Julia and she said I should ask you, Dr Cabral. I don’t methylate my Bs, according to a DNA test. I have mold toxicity and did the Equilibirum mold protocol retook the mold test, and unfortunately, my mold count went up, so I may have been around new mold or possibly just having problems getting it out of my system.It was suggested I sweat more and also take a B Complex. When I take it, my body odor smells terrible after a few days. I used Dr Google to figure this out, but only came up with a smell for some people of “fish”. My armpits don’t smell like fish..I’m talking terrible and I’m a woman. So, I stopped taking it, stopped smelling bad, and tried it again a few weeks later and voila…not showered smell is back. So I stopped taking it. Any thoughts?I take the daily foundational shake mix, omega, probiotic, green drink and don't have that smell. Stephanie: I have a question regarding my 11 year old son. We recently found out that he has low IGF-1 and growth hormone serum. My MD is more holistic and has pulled lots of blood work to test thyroid, celiac, blood sugar, zinc copper ratio and more and all other results are normal . We have seen an endocrinologist who wants to do a growth hormone stimulation test and potentially start growth hormone injections. I don't love the idea of this, wanting to know your take. Can he increase his IGF-1 and growth hormone naturally or might injections be necessary? Could there be a "root cause" we should be looking into as to why his numbers are low? Wanted to add that I heard your podcast about increasing IGF-1 by fasting and let you know that he does fast one Sunday a month religiously already. Thanks so much! Pam: I just received some lab results back however I don't quite understand them and I'm not sure what to do next for a correct diagnosis. I have been dealing with a lot of joint pain for approximately 6 months I spoke to a physician at Dr. On Demand due to the fact my pcp doesn't take things seriously unless you are dying I believe. My insurance covers Dr. On Demand completely so I had them order the blood work. My results show a positive speckled ana titer test , I would attach it but it doesn't appear that I can through this process. I hope you can help me!!!Thank you!!!Pam   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1527 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

When it comes to recommending the perfect diet for someone there's a lot of gray space that can be misunderstood (and misrepresented)...

1521: Schwannoma Tumor, Missing Cycle, Ayurvedic Wisdom, Hay Fever, Detox Break Outs, Dental Pain Relief, Precocious Puberty (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Ane: Hi Dr. Cabral I was wondering what your approach would be to try to shrink a benign Schwannoma tumor, and if you have any knowledge on how to regain damaged nerves caused by it. Ainara: I am 21 and I took the combined contraceptive pill for 6 years and came off 3 months ago. I still haven’t had my period, my hormone test results are OK but estrogen (150) and T4 (11.5) are low. Alba: As an Ayurvedic practitioner, you haven’t spoken about the different doshas, the aggravating foods, eating seasonally, etc. What are your thoughts on this? I’ve tried but find it restrictive. Karim: I have really bad hay fever in summer and really want to fix this. Would the Dr Cabral Detox be the answer? I workout regularly to gain muscle and I’m scared that the detox will make me lose weight. Any tips will be appreciated. Thanks! Roya: I started the 21-day detox on February 8, 2020, in hopes to restart my health and help pinpoint the cause of my hives, brain fog, and extreme fatigue. A background on my health: I went from not seeing a doctor to seeing doctors two to three times a month. In 2016, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism and what the doctors believed to be cold urticaria causing my hives. The hives were uncontrollable in the cold and I was introduced to allergists who recommended using Xolair shots. In 2017, I started xolair shots to help with the hives. Instead the shots made my hives worse. So we stopped after a few months. In the warm weather I noticed I was breaking out in hives. This was brought to the attention of my doctors since they had diagnosed me with cold urticaria. Now I have become a medical mystery for my doctors as to what is causing my hives. I have been tested for lupus, mast cell disease, and a few other auto immune diseases, which all resulted as negative. Fast forward today: I started the 21-day detox on February 8, 2020, and immediately noticed I was breaking out in hives after consuming the shake and the capsules. I’m on day three, and it’s not gotten any easier. As a matter of fact, I’m very tired, cannot focus, and groggy.My question is: Do I continue this detox? Despite it causing me to breakout in hives, wake up fatigued, groggy, and weak. Leslie: Hello Dr. Cabral, I had a question regarding pain killer alternatives for post wisdom teeth extractions. Back in 2016, I had a severe allergic reaction to Ibuprofen, and shortly after, I also had an allergic reaction to Tylenol. I've been holding back on getting my wisdom teeth extracted because I fear the pain that will come after. However, my lower wisdom teeth are impacted, and I need to get them out sooner than later. I went back to your podcast (438) on natural pain killers and was wondering if you recommend one over the other for my case? Side note/question: Before 2016, I didn't have any allergies to foods/medicines. However, during 2016 I was in my last year of college and was under a lot of stress. Also, I didn't have a healthy sleeping schedule and diet. Shortly after my allergic reactions to Ibuprofen, I did an allergy scratch test and almonds showed up, which was shocking because I remember eating almonds throughout my life without any reactions. Is it possible my allergic reactions were caused by stress and poor diet, and is there a way to reverse them? Kerry: Hello Doctor, My question is related to a female child who is showing signs of precocious puberty at age 7. The child is very large in comparison to peers, she has parents who are both 6 foot but the child is showing signs of being very tall when height is plotted in growth charts. She holds a little extra body weight but would not be classified overweight, her height and weight are in proportion.She has completed your parasite, CBO protocols and has an excellent clean diet. Has coeliac disease, and some anxiety. What would be the next steps to slow the progress into puberty?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1521 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1518: 10 Steps to Reverse Aging & Grow Younger (by Deepak Chopra) (TT)

I love giving credit where credit is due and Deepak Chopra was a big influence on me when I was quite young... He got me to see that medicine is far more than popping pills and masking symptoms... He subtlely introduced me to Ayurveda and the wisdom held with balancing the body in tune with its natural state...

1517: The Difference Between a Virus, Cold & Allergy Symptoms (WW)

People are worried right now about viruses (and rightly so), but what if your symptoms aren't viral-based? It's important to be able to tell the difference between a cold and virus since the symptoms, although similar, do have marked differences... And with allergy season coming into full swing we need to also be able to ensure we're not confusing cold or viral signs with allergies... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1517 I'd like to break down the differences between a virus, cold and allergy symptoms - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1517 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1516: If Your Lips Could Talk (what they'd say about your health) (TWT)

In Natural Medicine we've been taught that the external skin, eyes, teeth, and even lips of the face can tell you a lot about a person's health and well-being... Having said that, you can use these facial symptoms as a starting point for looking deeper into the body as to what may be going wrong internally...

1514: Water Machines, Whole Body Vibration, No Estrogen, Dog Digestive Issues, Testing vs. Food Symptoms, Clear Urine, Optic Neuritis, Meal Planning, Blood Sugar Spikes, Grains & Legumes & The Gut (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Ryan: Thoughts on the Kangen water machine please? :) Jamie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was wondering what your thoughts on Whole Body Vibration machines are. I have one that oscillates in a triangle pattern (up and down on each side - one side up while the other side is down and vice versa). I know you don't have much time on the housecalls but would you consider doing a podcast on these machines and how they can possibly fit in the DESTRESS protocol? Thanks as always! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, my friend was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that is hormone positive. She did chemo & hormone therapy and has since eliminated all estrogen production in her body. She is 39 years old and just had a hysterectomy and will have her estrogen eliminated for the rest of her life. As an IHP in training I know that all hormones are there for a reason and I'm wondering as her friend how can I help guide her to be healthy for the rest of her life without estrogen? Any tips? Any books you can recommend on this? Thanks! Anonymous:Hi Dr. Cabral, I know you mentioned that eventually you will be developing a pet line of products. My dog is having some digestive issues & skin issues that I think could be leaky gut and/or gut dysbiosis. My question to you is if you have any recommendations on companies to buy from or books to read or mentors to follow to learn about how to holistically restore my dog's health? Thanks as always for all you do! You truly are a great human being!! Paula: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for helping us in our health journey! My stool test results were ok but leaky gut was not tested and I also have high igA. I have horrible eczema, acne and major food sensitivities so I am in the process of healing leaky gut through diet and supplementation as I’m pretty sure I have it. I have eliminated all common allergies from my diet but I continue to have eczema and acne. I cannot afford an IgG test so my question is: Can I heal my gut by just eliminating gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, nuts and grains? Or do I have to do an IgG test to eliminate those foods that I may also be sensitive to? Ryan: I always took my urine being somewhat clear to mean I'm well hydrated, but I've heard you say it could mean losing electrolytes? Does gulping water make it go straight through you? How/why? Christy: I am a 42 female and was diagnosed with MS in 2006. I recently went to the eye doctor and said I had Optic neuritis which I had a year ago, but now it’s worse. Not sure what to do. Thanks Paula: Hi Dr Cabral. Should meals be divided equally in protein/carbs/fat and do I need to eat protein at every meal to build muscle? Thank you so much for what you do, you truly are amazing! Laura: I've heard that it is better to eat carbs (including fruits) later in the day and having a protein based breakfast to avoid blood sugar spikes. Why do you recommend eating fruits/oats for breakfast? Laura: Hi Dr Cabral! I’m in the process of healing leaky gut and I was wondering what your thoughts are on grains/legumes right now? I’m also sensitive to hemp hearts now so any protein substitutes for meals?

1513: Woo Woo Medicine, Enzymes & Stomach Acid, Protein for Muscle, Multiple Protocols, Not Thirsty (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Aaron: My wife's friend was in a motorcycle accident and has spinal cord damage that left her paralyzed. I'm looking for any naturopathic, ayurvedic, or "woo-woo" modalities that have evidence based practice for nerve repair. Several searches on your podcasts have come up with no results (the closest being to run tests to discover cause of Huntingtons). I've seen video of Chinese practitioners eliminating a tumor while being viewed with ultrasound, and heard of similar miracles that seem to be faith based. I'm a little more "practical" but open to possibilty. Mantras? Herbs? Laser therapy? ANY info appreciated! Desiree: Hello again, I've read that salivary amylase becomes inactive in stomach acid and also that part of the reason the pancreas releases bicarbonate into the duodenum is to create the correct pH environment for the enzymes to function. I know it takes a little while for stomach acid to actually saturate the food so the amylase can remain active in the stomach for 30 minutes or so. Are there enzymes that can function in stomach acid? When taking a digestive enzyme supplement, do these all become inactive when saturated with stomach acid? 2nd question:I've heard on a podcast that freeze dried probiotics become reactivated by absorbing the moisture around them and that if you take them with a meal that they can end up absorbing bile or stomach acid that is present for digesting food which ends up killing the bacteria. Is this accurate? If so, can you explain why the CBO is still effective even though all the probiotics are taken with a meal? Dimitri: Hey Dr.Cabral, thank you for the constant inspiration and sharing of your knowledge with the world. I am a 21 year old college student currently IHP level 1 certified and working on level 2 along with my NASM certification. As you did in your early 20’s, I have aspirations to build my physique as big and strong as I can for the next few years. If you could give suggestions on the most optimal way to do so that would be great. I just watched your podcast with Ben Pakulski and feel like I could use a more definitive or specific answer to 1) protein intake for optimal muscle growth but also not too far. 2)training frequency. 3) how to optimize gut function when taking in higher amounts of calories and more specifically protein.Again, thank you so much Dr. Cabral Samantha: Dear Dr Cabral, I have been listening to your podcasts for about 3 hours per day lately and driving my husband nuts lol. I have been to more doctors than you possibly could imagine, spent more money than you possibly could imagine and have had more tests run than yes, even you could possibly imagine. :) While I have yet to solve my issues I just know for a fact that these protocols are where I am going to finally heal and feel like myself again. I am 41 years old and from the outside seem to others to be a very healthy, fit and active person. What most don't realize is I'm hanging on by a teeny tiny thread. My initial diagnosis was chronic fatigue syndrome post pregnancy. I was given Prozac to help with my "post partum depression." I didn't feel depressed. I felt tired! My journey since then has been a long one since my son will be 12 this month but here's what I know. Currently I'm being treated for Thyroid Issues (tsh and conversion problems), Low Testosterone, Low Vitamin D, I also take spirolactone for hair loss and edema. I take vyvanse for adhd. It helps me to "get out of bed." I realize this is so wrong but it's my band aid and my crutch for now. All the Medicine I'm taking for each problem isn't working. I'm more anxious than ever, I have horrific foggy brain and am running off of nervous energy. I also have: Poor circulation, Low Progesterone, Gluten intolerance, H Pylori, parasites, Leaky Gut, alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation, hemorrhoids, bloated stomach. I can go from looking like I have washboard abs to 9 months pregnant instantly, I have a sugar addiction and thus yeast candida. I cannot sleep at night and need to take Xanax to sleep otherwise I can't sleep at all. I am the type that loves to go all out, no pain no gain. I am balancing that with things like restorative yoga, breathing exercises and acupuncture. There's not a doubt in my mind that I need to order every single protocol you have. I already ordered the 21 day detox. Can you give your recommendation to people out there who need all of them? Is it best to start with the detox (7, 14, or 21?)? Then move onto which protocol? I am not concerned with the supplement cost so anything you can recommend would be greatly appreciated.Thank you so much for what you do. You truly are healing the world.Sincerely,Samantha Rachael:Hi Dr. Cabral. This is a 2 part question. I’ve been trying to drink more water, currently I drink a cup or 2 a day. I’m very rarely thirsty, I don’t drink a lot of other drinks either but I do have a cup of soda almost everyday. The first question is how can I drink more water when I never feel thirsty? Sometimes the thought of forcing myself to drink makes me gag. The other question is, every time I increase my water, even by a cup, I get splitting migraines. This happens if I drink the soda with increased water so I don’t think it is coffee/sugar withdrawal. Why does this keep happening to me? I feel as though I will never get passed drink 1 or 2 cups of water day + a soda.

1510: Main Causes for Women’s Hair Loss (WW)

On a previous podcast, I went over all the possible reasons for both men's and women's hair loss and who is most susceptible... However, when it comes to women and hair loss there are some unique attributes that don't apply to men as much, and believe it or not, are far more reversible...

1509: 9 Physical Signs of Vitamin Deficiencies (TWT)

With all of the discussion of boosting immunity right now, it is interesting to see how one of the first signs of the body's immune system becoming potentially lowered is a lack of taste or smell...

1507: Pregnancy & EMFs, Scalar Energy, Pelvic Floor Congestion, Nicotinamide Riboside, Tongkat Ali, Water Fast, Cyst Formation (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Luke: Hi Dr. Cabral. Could you please answer my questions below. Q1. Are EMFs while flying something to be concerned with particularly while pregnant? If so what can be done to mitigate these issues? Q2. What are your thoughts on Scalar energy? There is a product called Blushield that claims that they use this technology to reduce EMFs by producing a stronger frequency for a person’s body to resonate with instead of the EMFs. Are you familiar with this technology? If so what are your thoughts? Also if you haven’t heard of blushield could you please do a product review one day? Thanks in advance and have a great day, Luke. Kim: Hi Dr Cabral. Love listening to your podcast and have learned so much. I was recently diagnosed with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome from an MRI done to find out why my hip was hurting. I have asked for help on the group support page and did a search on the podcast you have done and have not found very much info on this topic. Can this be something that can be fixed through natural treatments or will I need some sort of surgery to address this condition? Thank you for your time. Suzanna: Dear dr. Cabral, I really wanted to know your opinion about the supplementation with nicotinamide riboside for mitochondrial health. I’ve been reading some great scientific research about it and was wondering if you have used it or come across the scientific evidence supporting the health benefits? I really trust your opinion and would like to know if you would recommend it before I start using them, also because the supplements containing nicotinamide riboside are not the cheapest ones around :) Thanks so much for your answer! Sasha: Hello dr. Cabral! First of all, thanks for All your amazing work and your effort to release a great and helpful podcast episode every day. I can’t even imagine how much work and dedication this takes, and I want to let you know that we all notice and appreciate it greatly. Secondly, I wanted to ask you if you’ve ever done a 3 day water fast? Apparently, 3 days without food is when the authophagy really kicks in and starts cleaning out the old, defective cells. Is this true? And if it is, how would you go about this? How would you prepare for it, what would be your advice on activity during these 3 days and how would you break it? What type and how much food would you eat the day after? Would this affect (female) hormones and what way? Sorry, it’s a lot of questions, but if anyone could answer them it would be you! Thank you for this answer and everything that you do! Farrel: Hey Dr Cabral. Are there any health benefits from tongkat Ali or longjack? Like for a mid 30's athlete. I also wanna know if there are benefits, would one be able to use it during 7 day detox. Thank you Dan: I am a 44yr old male, overall healthy. Multiple simple cysts on liver and one on kidney that seem to be growing. Question to you is: - What causes these cysts formations? - What can I do to shrink/eliminate them? As always, you are a blessing for all of us!

1506: Gallstones, Joe Dispenza, Extended Fast, Fasting & Glucose, Rice & Arsenic, 15-Year Old (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Megan: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a friend who says she has a lot of gallstones and I tried to find a past podcast on this but couldn’t find any ways to treat them naturally, would you be able to offer some light on this topic, and if it is possible to get rid of them naturally? Thank you for everything you do. Ryan: What are your thoughts on Joe Dispenza's work and meditations? Do you practice anything similar in terms of connecting to the quantum field? Have you seen some of these spontaneous healings that seemingly take place during some of his retreats in your own experience with clients? From what I can understand, if you can truly feel the feeling of your healthy future self, the autonomic nervous system can't tell tell the difference and begins to respond as if you were healthy. Super interesting stuff. Ryan: When it comes to extended fasts, I see 2 schools of thought. One which I have learnt through your teachings is that you should be fasting on a day you don't have a lot to do, a relaxed, chilled out day. I have often seen the opposite recommendation too, where it is recommended to stay busy with your day such that you're not thinking about it too much and the time flies. I know one can be busy and still relaxed, but probably not for most people. Would it be best perhaps for beginners to stay busy, and once you find fasting easier you try to focus on a more relaxed day? Emily: Dr. Cabral did a post cast with the Faster Way and a friend and I are debating about something he said as it was a bit contradictory. We bought the glucose meter to see if our morning coffee broke our fast (as he suggested), and he gave two responses to testing and results while fasting. 1. If your blood sugar stays under 100, 30 mins after drinking coffee then you're still in a fasted state. 2. If your glucose readings before and after coffee are different (spiked) then you are no longer in your fast. The question is if your blood sugar spikes with coffee 10-20 points but youre still under 100 are you still in your fast?? I am a coach with the faster way to fat loss and this has confused quite a few of us that listened to the podcast. Just hoping for some clarification. Many thanks!! Ashley: Hi, I am currently on day 3 of your detox and I am on the road to healing hashimotos. I also literally just finished reading your book. Thank you for your work and giving back to the world in a meaningful way. I hope to do the same. I am wondering why rice is the protein of choice in the detox nutritional shake when the understanding is that rice is high in arsenic? I have been avoiding rice like the plague other then some black rice on occasion. It came down to trusting you, faith, and I have also exhausted every avenue with no long term improvement so here I am on the detox protocol. I am really hoping this approach helps me with the hashimotos and gut health. If you have additional suggestions that would be wonderful. :) I appreciate you and how you share your knowledge. Thank you and have a wonderful day! Ashley Tiffany: I’m sure you get these emails all the time, but I need your help for my 15 year old nephew. I listen to your podcast and thought you could help. He is all of a sudden experiencing pain in chest and stomach and weakness in legs (he can’t walk down the hall sometimes at school without support from the wall), and fatigue. They have gone to hospital and all tests come back clear. They love in TN. We just do not know where to go next. Could you possibly give us some direction? My nephew is usually fun and outgoing, but doctors just keep telling us nothing is wrong. Thank you.

1504: Overcoming Fatigue, Brain Fog & Low Mood (TT)

Yesterday we spoke about the 3 telltale signs of fatigue and today we will build off of that in order to learn how to heal... The biggest problem I see in a person’s recovery process is that they are not looking at the body as a whole interconnected system... Instead, they are trying to “treat” individual acute symptoms without regard for healing at the deeper foundational levels... (Note: This is why someone will often symptomatically improve for a short period of time before relapsing like I did for many years.) So on today’s #CabralConcept 1504 I’d like to share with you how to truly overcome fatigue, brain fog, and low mood - Enjoy the show and leave a comment as to what you thought! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1504 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1500: MTHFR & Detoxing, Proteinuria, Adrenal vs. Thyroid Testing, Eyes Stinging, Crohn's & Colitis & Detoxing, Eating Healthy While Traveling (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral I read a post on the fb detox group regarding the 21 day detox. This persons concern was after the 21 day detox it released heavy metals which seeped into the blood stream, and as this person detox pathways were not functioning due to MTHFR, this person stated feeling a whole lot worse and affecting the thyroid. My question is what would you suggest for someone who has this sort of reaction after a detox? And dealing with detox pathways Many thanks Natalie: Hi Dr. Cabral: Thank you for all you do to help people. My spouse seems to have proteinuria. He has been seen by a nephrologist who confirms that there seems to no explanation for the protein found in his urine, so he suspects benign microscopic changes to the kidney may be causing this. That is on the one hand a relief, but on the other frustrating because until about a year or two ago, he NEVER had foam or bubbles in his urine so he KNOWS there something is not "normal" in his body. Ironically, since we were cleared by the nephrologist we commenced your detox and the bubbles in his urine have actually increased. We are frustrated, confused and feeling rather hopeless. If you could help us figure out where to go from here we would be so grateful. My spouse is a 37 year old male, plays hockey twice a week, has never smoked in his life and eats a clean plant based diet. He has also been doing TCM acupuncture and teas to strengthen his kidneys but the bubbles in the urine persist. Thank you in advance for your compassion and determination to help people like my spouse who wants to help themselves but are at a loss now as to how. Joanna: Hey there Dr Cabral My question is what is the difference with the adrenal hormone and adrenal thyroid hormone lab compared to the dutch test? The dutch test i believe looks at different forms of estrogen and different pathways etc i hear its a little more extensive what are your thoughts? Many thanks Joanna Jamie: Belated Happy New Year and thank you again for all you do - may 2020 be another amazing year for you and the Team. Quick question, recently (around new years eve) i started waking up and my eyes would be mildly stinging each morning, there is a little dried build up around them but not much when i wake up. It takes about an hour for my eyes to stop the symptoms in the morning but it is making it morning difficult to wake up early in the morning. I definitely had a cheat meal too many over christmas and wonder if this is the result. I started the 3 week detox on 5th Jan so am 1 week in now. Oura ring telling me sleep is generally good this last week but symptoms are still there. I have 2 more weeks to go on detox so excited by that but thought i would reach out as the sore eyes are frustrating my morning routine! thanks again for all you do and best wishes to you and your family. Julie: I have been recommended this detox by a friend. I have Crohn’s / Colitis and wondered if it is suitable? I currently have infusions and take azathioprine tablets for treatment. Is it ok to do the detox while on these medications? Also which would you suggest? Thanks Julie Judy: Hello. I recently heard on a podcast that you were at a convention in Vegas. I frequently have conferences in Vegas along the strip, and I was curious where and what did you eat to stay healthy during this time where people are surrounded by lots of unhealthy options?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Traci: Is there a scientific reason as to why we should start the fatlossity System and use for 21 days prior to detox? Thanks so much! Jackie: Hi- On episode 498 anonymous asked about little red dots on her arms. Dr. Cabral referred anonymous to episode 464 where MariEllen asks about raised bumps on her legs. I feel like these might be two different things. Is there any other episode where Dr. Cabral talks specifically about flat dots on the arms? Or, could you give some information about the cause and possible remedy of smooth, red dots on the backs of the arms that have been there for years? Thanks for all of your work!!! -Jackie Carol: I heard on the podcast that dr Cabral has suffered from Addison’s disease, as I do. He alludes to his terrible illness at 17, but does not go into any detail about what it is, and I am very interested to know if he was able to cure it, and also if the detox would be right for me. Thank you Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabal. I recently got a semen analysis as my wife and I have been having a hard time trying to conceive. My results came back good but this is from a western medicine stand point. Could you please let me know what the ideal ranges would be from a functional medicine perspective? The areas they reported on were semen volume, sperm concentration, motility and morphology. Also can you please discuss some natural ways in which I can improve on my results. For context I have completed the big 5 labs along with the recommendations. I have continued on with the level 2 daily protocol with healthy eating and exercise most days. Thank you. Sabrina: Hi! I’ve been binge listening to the podcasts for a month or so and learning so much. My family and I are nearing the end of the h-pylori protocol that was outlined in one of the podcasts. My mother has been dealing with candida issues for 30 years and has tried many diets and supplements with no lasting results. She is very interesting in doing Doctor Cabral’s Candida protocol, but her concern is that she seems to have a sensitivity to Oregano and Olive Leaf. When we did the h-pylori protocol with the essential oils, she had muscle and joint pain for over a month until she removed the Oregano oil from her routine. Her concern is that she doesn’t want to spend all of that money on the candida protocol only to have a reaction to the oregano in the blends. Do you have any suggestion for how she should proceed? Thank you so much for your help! Sabrina Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral! What do you think about the treatment Miradry to reduce underarm sweating? I know sweating is good for detoxification but Id rather go to the sauna than soak through my shirts every day. Thank you so much!

1496: Forgotten Factors That Affect the Thyroid (WW)

One of the reasons why I talk about thyroid health so much is that it affects almost a billion people worldwide… However, most of the time a low thyroid goes undiagnosed because although a healthcare practitioner can see all the signs and symptoms of a sluggish metabolism, the patient’s “lab values are still within range.” The problem is that most of these low (or high) thyroid health issues can be resolved quite quickly when you know what to look for and how to rebalance the body… That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 1496 I’d like to share with you the forgotten factors that affect the thyroid and how to correct them - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1496 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

A lot of people think that those that get the most done are tremendously optimistic and excited about their goals… However, what some people don’t realize is that what often motivates people is the fear of regret… They worry that their life is passing them by before they have had a chance to see, be, do, and accomplish those things they desire in life… So on today’s #CabralConcept 1494 I’d like to share with you some wisdom by Jordan Peterson as to why you must stop putting off what you know you need to do - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1494 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1493: Biotin & Thyroid, Numb Hands, Muscle Spasms, Best Snacks, Extreme Fatigue, Vitamin D Absorption (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Lisa: Hi I have some questions in regards to I’m taking the Candida control one with it has biotin in it but I also want to be sure that by it and does not affect thyroid negatively because I have had hypothyroid I’m trying to fix that with glandular desiccated thyroid and I don’t want to affect my thyroid negatively I was wondering if you have heard the claims a biotin and interferes with thyroid Cassandra: Hello there, I just had a question regarding numbness in my hands. I often (almost every night) wake up from my hands being completely numb and have to shake them out to get blood flow back. Just wondering if I should take a certain test, or who to go see about this and if it’s something to be worried about. Could it possibly be a deficiency? Or a blood flow problem? Not sure what to do and need some guidance.Thank you for taking the time to review my concern, hope to hear back from you soon.Sincerely Cassandra. Tyler: Hi Dr. Cabral I have been having some muscle spasms in my chest and triceps for several weeks now. I went to the doctor and all they did was prescribe anti inflammatory medicine that didn’t solve the issue. The severity of the spasms tend to fluctuate but I can’t seem to find the root cause. I eat a clean plant based diet very little gluten but I do consume some dairy, meat fish and eggs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, tyler Dar: Wonder what the best thing to snack on late at night is if you are super hungry. If you could give multiple options that would be great. Sometimes I have an early dinner then need to eat something. Yours truly from this Vata/Ectomorph Catherine: Hello, My name is Catherine, I am 35, I am a third grade teacher and a mom of three (school age kiddos). I have been struggling with extreme fatigue on a regular basis since August. Through a blood work test I was told I have Hypothyroidism in May and started taking meds in January. Even though I am taking meds I still experience fatigue on a daily basis, I have met with my doctor and it doesn't seem to help. A few other symptoms I have are rib pain, sore throat (for three weeks straight), dizziness, and occasional increased heart rate. Additionally, I was diagnosed with asthma when I was in college, so about 15 years ago, for that I only use a rescue inhaler I don't take any medicine on a daily basis for that. I am reaching out to see if there is anything I can change from my end, how to get to the root cause of these struggles because it is starting to effect me in my job and family life. Desiree: Hello Dr. Cabral. Thanks for all you do. I am deeply grateful to you. Finding your podcast a few years ago was the catalyst that allowed me to completely change my life for the better. What affects vitamin d absorption? I have been taking EN vitamin d for 2-2.5 years at 4000 IU per day (I weigh 130lbs). About 6 months ago I took the TAH lab and level was 33. I was advised to take 6,000 IU per day, which I have been doing since. I just recently had blood work done through my PCP and my levels were at 25. I'm curious why my levels dropped even though I increased the dosage? Seems like an absorption issue. My doctor recommend I take 10,000 IU for three months and then we are going to re-test. I am overall very healthy. I do the quarterly detox (have completed 5 now), I did the CBO + heal and seal a year ago, I take DNS, DFVB, omega 3, vitamin d, probiotic, and full spectrum vitamin c daily. I follow the weight maintenance meal plan from IHP. I live in sunny Arizona but I don't get very much sun exposure. I only get 6 hours a sleep per night, so I supplement with melatonin most nights (one dropper of the brand you recommend).Thanks in advance for your insight.

1492: ACV Reaction, OCD Causes, Thyroid Imbalance, Stickler Syndrome, Tired During Day, Oils in Diet, Shower After Sweating (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  K: Hi Dr Cabral, I have been taking the apple cider vinegar drink you recommend in the fatlossity program twice a day. I dilute it about 16 oz of water. I have noticed that my gums are little swollen and they bleed when I brush and floss since adding this drink into my daily routine. Do you have any advice on how I can adapt this drink so that it doesn’t cause this reaction? Helena: Hi Dr. Cabral, in one of the previous shows you mentioned that OCD could be caused by a hormone/chemical imbalance in your body. What are your thoughts on the causes of hypochondria? Do you think that the root cause is also due to chemical imbalances in the body? I’ve been suffering for such a long time and would love to find a way to deal with it once and for all. For me, it’s triggered mostly by reading about it. For example, I had HPV virus, and although it’s been cleared (had it checked twice now), I still think that they might have missed something and when I see an article about someone having it or dying from it, I’m anxious for days and seek reassurance from people around me and Dr. Google (which actually scares me even more). I would love to hear your thoughts about what might be causing it. Thanks in advance for your help. Helena Anne-Marie: Hi! I have recently been diagnosed with stickler syndrome which is a connective tissue disorder. I have high myopia, mild sensorineural hearing loss, swelling in my wrist and ankle joints. I have also had my gall bladder removed almost 20 years ago, had Graves' disease and now have Hashimoto's and am currently breastfeeding my third child (my older two have also been diagnosed with stickler and eldest with autism as well.) We have been following a plant based diet for over a year now and seen a good improvement in overall health. My children are currently doing the CBO protocol. When I've finished breastfeeding, what detoxes am I able to do without a gall bladder? Is there any way of strengthening the connective tissue in the body for both me and my kids to minimise the likelihood of precocious arthritis? In these circumstances how much is osteoarthritis luck of the genetic lottery and how much can be minimised by lifestyle factors? Thanks! Patty:Hi doctor Cabral! Loving your show! A quick: question: what are your tips on getting through a busy day on little to no sleep? Those days when you just can’t take a nap and have to power through. Thank you in advance for your answer Yvonne: Dr Esselstyn recommends no oil in the diet - says it causes cardiovascular disease. Your thoughts? I find it hard to eliminate as some food just isn't satisfying without some avocado or olive oil. Marie: Hi Doc! What is your verdict on sweat belts around the midsection to increase overall sweat and increase the loss of water weight around the midsection?Also: when it comes to exercise and saunas in general, is there a certain time frame within which you should shower to avoid toxins that were sweated out to be reabsorbed?

1489: Do You Feel Swollen, Puffy, Inflamed, or Hold Water? (WW)

Did you know that holding excess water weight and feeling puffy has less to do with eating carbs and more to do with your hormones? The health and fitness industry loves to blame certain macros as the enemy, but the truth is that dropping your carbs too low actually makes this situation much much worse… In time, this type of hormonal health knowledge will become mainstream, but I want to make sure you don’t have to wait the 5-10 years for the media to catch on… That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 1489 I’d like to share with you the truth behind why you feel swollen, puffy, inflamed, or you’re holding water weight - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1489 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1488: Decrease Bloating, Burping & Gas (TWT)

Stomach acid is often given a bad reputation due to the fact that many people end up with symptoms of acid reflux… However, decreasing stomach acid is one of the worst things that you can do for your overall long-term health… Not only does it allow a free pass to bacteria and parasites directly into your body, but it prohibits you from being able to break down and absorb nutrients from your food... On today’s #CabralConcept 1488 I’d like to discuss the importance of stomach acid and how to decrease bloating, burping, and gas – Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1488 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1486: Oligodendroglioma, Healthy Gut, Hot Bath Before Bed, Shake After Sauna, Genital Worts, Prostate Cancer, Coughing Up Phlegm, Chickpea Pasta (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Jamie: One of my Team has been diagnosed with a Mass Lesion in the Left Occipito-Temporal Area of my brain - a Oligodendroglioma - Grade 2. Having seen specialists in the field he has been advised that removal would be too dangerous/complex given its depth. It has now been 6 months and seems to be growing very slowly. It causing him to have daily partial seizires (black dot flickering in the eye) and the occasional Complex-partial seizure (eyes glaze over and lips smacking 30 seconds -90 seconds) and very rare General Tonic-Clonic Seizure. He is only 30 years old, generally very fit and healthy and has just had a baby boy so has a amazing time ahead of him now. Is there anything you would recommend that might help reduce the size of the tumour as i fear one day it may just grow and push on the wrong part of the brain... If you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated as an operation at the moment with modern accepted tech is too risky to consider.thank you so much for all your time and help. Jamie: Is it ok to have the healthy gut support each morning as part of my morning routine? I love the taste and need water first thing so it is a really nice wake up drink as i make the morning smoothie… I have run the big 5 and had a good coaching call but forgot to ask. Completed the CBO protocol last year too so all is pretty good at moment as well as continuing a quarterly detox. Thank you again for all your help. Jamie: When do you recommend taking a hot shower and when a cold shower? So many people swear by dunking themselves into a very cold bath in the morning to put a spring in their step - is this ok or is it too shocking to the system? Your thoughts on when cold vs hot showers / baths in general much appreciated. Thank you again for everything you do. Simon: Hi again Dr Cabral! I am interested in sauna use for autophagy/general health benefits and muscle recovery after weight training and am wondering if you could provide some more detailed advice. I currently do weight training, followed by a post-workout shake right before hitting the sauna (20-25min @ 75*c). I have heard some people say that you should avoid antioxidants after a sauna or even after exercise as they reduce the 'good stressors' on the body. Can you advise:a) should I include antioxidants in my post-workout shake;b) if I should have my shake between weights and sauna or at the end of the sauna;c) Are there any other supplements II should take to enhance the effects of the sauna (Note: I also consume lots of water with electrolytes in the sauna); andd) is stretching in the sauna a good idea?I am Vata-Pita in generally good health (asside from IBS which I'm working on) looking to optimise my health and longevity. Thanks so much! Kevin: Hi Doctor Cabral,I've been a huge fan of your show for almost 2 years now. I have purchased your book and learned a lot from it. I'm sending your this message hoping that you could guide me. My girlfriend was diagnosed 2 years ago with the human papillomavirus (HPV). She got treated for the second time by her conventional medecine doctor who removed the genital warts. She just received an email mentioning that the treatment didn't work and the virus is still present. She was told that she has to wait another 6 months to get a new test.We are considering having kids in a near future but when the question was asked to her doctor, he simply said that we it wouldn't be a good idea without providing any further explanation.Is there anything she can do to get rid of the virus?Does the HPV affect pregnancy?Am I at risk as well ?Any help/recommendation would be much appreciated.Thank you very much for your work. Shane: Hi Dr. Cabral, I had prostate cancer 7 years ago and had radical prostatectomy to remove my prostate. A little over a year ago, my PSA numbers started to rise. I have been seeing a naturopath doctor to get my PSA and candida under control, but both have continued to get worse. I am now on your CBO protocol (first week). I don't feel like returning to my current naturopath. My question is what would you suggest I do? I have been on a lot of supplements like Apricot seeds and Essiac tea, other teas, as well as many other supplements. I am on a strictly vegetarian diet, no dairy, no eggs. I have been using your daily foundation too. My numbers were holding stable but now they are doubling. Can you help? Thank you Dar: Feel great thanks for all you do. Take supplements as well, but over the last couple of months had been coughing up phlegm on and off without any other symptoms don't have dairy, much sugar or wheat. Gracias. Not eating anything unusual or that I'm allergic too either. Darcy: Are wondernoodles(gluten free) or chickpea based pasta okay to eat what are your thoughts?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1486 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1485: Stomach Pain, Permanent Retainer, Firm Skin, Healthier Candy Option, Asparagus & Cancer, Dairy Allergies (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  James: Hi,I’m currently dealing with stomach pains, loose stool, unable to lose weight (not overweight but trying to drop a couple pounds). If taken a stool test through Genova Labs and got the data showing a bunch of different imbalances and potential issues.Is there anyway you could analyze that data and give direction? Currently frustrated with my progress and not feeling good.Thank you, James Michelle: I have a question that I can not seem to find any information on. I have a permanent retainer that needs to has a broken bracket. I have 3 choices 1. remove 2. have another permanent put in place or 3. invisalign retainer that I would wear at night. I would like to keep my teeth in place therefore considering option 2 and 3. What direction hve you given patients on this? Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral,Thank you so much for all that you do for your clients and the community. I started following your podcasts last April, read your book, and did my first detox in June. Fast forward to today, I have never missed a podcast, am down 30+ lbs and lowered my cholesterol by 85 points. I feel terrific, have tons of energy and my life has changed so much for the better, all thanks to you. I will forever be one of your biggest cheerleaders and continue to brag about you!!I use the DNS powder in my daily smoothie and follow some of your favorite recipes and have rarely gone a day without one in more than 6 months. I have been adding a scoop of the Advanced Collagen Support for the past couple of months. The other day I came across an ad for Beverly Hills MD. I know you don't discredit other companies' products, but do you know anything about this one or the ingredients it contains? It claims to "help smooth, tighten, and firm skin from the inside out." In addition to containing collagen, it states it contains Saw Palmetto and Hyaluronic Acid. Do you know what those are and what they do? I'm hesitant to try products from the internet and at this point I mainly only trust you and the Equilibrium Nutrition products. I'm just a little curious about these.Thank you,Jenny Les: Hello Dr. Stephan Cabral, I had a question regarding type 1 diabetes. My boyfriend has type 1 diabetes and every time his blow sugar is low he will reach for cookies or candy. I know that there must be a healthier option to help him. I've searched online and found that many recommend soda which is definitely something I don't consider healthy.Hoping you can help with suggesting healthier options.Thank you so much! Huge fan and truly appreciate what you do! Jamie: What is the truth about asparagus and it being a catalyst for transporting cancerous cells or free radicals around the body? I presume if someone has been diagnosed with Cancer of any sort they should not eat Asparagus if this is true. What is your understanding and clarification much appreciated! thank you so so much for all you do, I have almost finished listening to the entire back catalogue of podcasts about 100 to go! Really appreciate your work and thank you again for helping change my life and approach to health - i am in turn trying to pay forward the limited knowledge i now have too. thank you. Jamie: Thank you again for everything you do an dall the hard work your team puts in . Apologies as i know this question has come up indifferent guises before but i couldn't really find an all encompassing answer. We have a 6 month old daughter and she has had a skin alergy test which came up negative for everything (good news). Having listened to the podcsat for some time i hear you on the dairy and having cut out dairy from my diet i now feel a million times better. When i do now eat dairy i can feel a reaction but i can live with it and occasionally for a cheat meal its worth the trade off.My question is should we really be stopping our daughter from having any dairy even so young because surely it must have some benefits otherwise why have humans used it for so long? If we switch her to all non dairy product so young is she likely to have worse reactions when she is older? Also so many say the calcium content is not as high in the diary alternatives and the side of the packs (crude level i compared dairy milk to the nut milks) and this seems to corroborate this observation - can you shed light on what does provide enough calcium for children from birth up to adulthood and how you have treated dairy or dairy alternatives for your children from birth until now?thank you again so much.

1479: Canola Oil & Margarine, Cracking Joints, Gelatin in Supplements, Turmeric vs. Curcumin, Infrared Sauna Blanket, Tuberculosis, Starchy Dinner (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Haven: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’ve been a long time listener and have successfully shared much of what you have taught me to many of my friends and family. Last year, my 50 year old mom, who has struggled with her weight for most of her adult life, became a listener as well. She successfully completed the CBO protocol and did a handful of 14-day Doctor Cabral Detoxes. She could feel that it was helping, but didn’t manage to lose more than 5lbs. This year, she is now on a weight loss program, called Optivia, where you eat 5 “fuelings” a day and one “lean and green” meal a day. I am very proud of her accomplishments, but worry about the long term health effects. The diet’s “fuelings” are all highly processed foods and the nutritional label lists many unidentifiable chemicals. Plus many of the “lean and green” recipes include processed meats, dairy and gluten and classify canola oil and margarine as “healthy fats”. I’m having a hard time finding the words to explain to her the damage she could potentially be causing her body, and wondered if you had any words of wisdom I could borrow? Many thanks! Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral My question is i tend to get a cracking noise likea bubbly noise in between my joints mainly knees when i exercise? Do you know what may cause this?Is it a matter of building my strength and training up. I have only started training up again in the last month, prior to that i had a few months off and was just walking mainly. I take your dns and collagen everyday Kind regards Joanna :) Les: Hi Dr. Stephan Cabral,I had a question about the type of gelatin you use in your products. Due to my religion, I do not consume pork and I noticed that your omega 3 contains gelatin. Thank you! Ryan: What are your thoughts on the benefits of turmeric vs. curcumin supplementation? I've read curcumin has troubles with bio-availability and that combining with black pepper, and/or certain water soluble or fat soluble forms, plus antioxidants can help... but the jury still seems to be out. How much have you experimented with different forms clinically and what's your experience? Do different forms work better for different things? Particularly interested in blood sugar benefits. Any new research you're aware of regarding turmeric/curcumin? Cheers. Grace: Hi Dr.Cabral, I have a question for you about a product I am considering buying. I asked this question in the support group page, and others also were interested in hearing your opinion. You have spoken about the benefits of infrared saunas before, but I am curious if you have seen or heard about the infrared sauna ‘blankets’? I am interested because they are much more cost effective and more portable than traditional saunas. The brand I am personally looking into is called Higher Dose. Do you know if these sauna blankets produce the same level of benefits to regular infrared saunas?On a similar note, I am a yoga teacher where I both practice and teach in a heated room, and I sweat A LOT. I am curious if this also produces the same benefit as an infared sauna session? Is it worth using an infared sauna if I regularly sweat in a heated room? Thanks in advance for your insight, and thank you for everything you do. Your work has significantly impacted my life and health! DB: What are the natural remedies for turberculosis. Can you cure it without the use of powerful medications. Dar: Lately I have been loving this black bean, yam, and spinach wrap for dinner with a little garlic caesar dressing from costco, however my wife mentioned that is probably too heavy on the starch, what do you think and what would you use instead of the beans if that's the case? How does too much starch affect digestion I have heard it is not good.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1479 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1478: Chronic Pain in Hips, Dry Lips, PAN/PANDAS, Foot Cramps, Urine Test Strips, IF & Hypothyroidism (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Sue: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm wondering if you can help me. I'm 62 and have chronic pain in my hips and down my thighs. I'm also now getting spasms down my right thigh. I find it hard to walk especially after sitting down. I'm cleaning in a resort which takes it's toll also. I'm foam rolling and taking zinc and vitamin c, magnesium mixed with B vitamins, iodine, Vitamin D liguid and B12. Nothing seems to be helping. I have developed thin crepey skin hich tears easily and big red blotches appear when I knock myself. I have a oval type circle which looks like a bruise and is itchy which I've had for years and fungus in two of my nails. I also get corns on the bottom of my feet occassionally which my podiatrist said comes with the skin getting thin around the bone with aging. My osteopath recommends I get the Mora technique done. do you know this therapy? And is it any good. I would like to have tests done with you but can only afford one thing at a time. Hope you can help. You are absolutely amazing with your knowledge and thank you for sharing with the world Regards Sue Sue: Hi Stephen it’s Sue again. Referring to my other email about my chronic hip pain. I also have a very raspy tongue and dry lips but plenty of saliva. My naturopath thinks it’s low thyroid hence why I’m on iodine but it’s not helping Thanks again Canna: Dr.Cabral, There’s nothing worse than watching your child suffer.My kid has PANS/PANDAS... he’s 100% fine when he’s not sick... and that seem to happen only when he’s not at school. He’s on your CBO protocol for children from few months now. He still catches infections from other people very easily and flares up! We are fighting this monster from 9 months! Please give me hope that he will get better! I will do anything in this world to cure him! Please help us! Vancity: I feel pretty healthy no issues on the blood tests. Diet is good and exercise. For some reason in the winter cold at night especially I have been experiencing the worst foot cramps to the point I woke up shouting in pain a few times. It happened in previous years but not as much or as harsh as this year. Can you please give me any tips. I try to keep my socks on during the winters but they still cramp up even when slightly cold I guess. I take a good multi and magnesium since I've read a magnesium deficiency can cause this issue. Thanks. Aaron:  have been getting ads for Bloom test strips. It's a urinalysis test that you scan with an app on your phone. It tests for several specific markers including some heavy metals and cortisol. I hope to be able to afford your tests at some point, which look more comprehensive and get professionally analyzed. In the mean time, would you be able to review this product and speak to it's reliability? I'm curious if the results correlate to hair tissue mineral analysis and saliva that you test. Emily: I was diagnosed with PCOS about 2 years ago after coming off of birth control for 8 years. I started doing intermittent fasting about 10 months ago when I heard it was great for insulin resistance (although i’m unsure my PCOS is from insulin resistance). I recently had annual blood work done prior to wanting to do a 28 day detox and I was found to be hypothyroid (TSH 5.9, normal T4 and no antibodies). Could this be secondary to IF OR connected to an underlying condition also causing my PCOS? Wondering if both conditions could be tied to adrenal fatigue. Working on my emotional stress with herbals and breathing. Working on my physical stress by eating more nutritious foods and not IF Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1478 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1472: Breatharian, Hemosidren & Melasma, Thyroid & Pregnancy, High Protein Diets, Viruses During Pregnancy (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Dar: I am of south asian decent and find it interesting that some of the stories my dad has told me about religious (I think they are called yogis in india) who lived by the village he grew up in, regularly only used to eat food once or twice a month due to religious reasons. How is this possible and what are your views on that? It does not sound like that could be healthy. Courtney: Hello I’ve been dealing with melasma and hemosidren and I also have breast implant scars. I was wondering if you know the causes of the hemosidren and melasma? Also I was wondering if you knew natural ways to get rid of them??Thanks!! Cass: Hi Doctor Cabral,  Im a IHP level 2 Student and have a few questions. I have ran the big 5 in Australia. I have had stage 6 adrenal exhaustion and hypothyroid for at least 10 years. I also have a history of hyperthyroid as it switches between the two. No thyroid antibodies. Low sex hormones all round with a little higher oestrogen not high. Low DHEA of 2.1, TSH 4.57. I've done 4x EN detox, CBO, Parasite Cleanse. Take DNS, natural calm, zinc, B vit, melatonin, Thyroid support, adrenal soothe, adrenal energy, daily pro biotic, digestive enzymes and oestrogen balance 1/3 cap in my luteal phase.  My cycle is between 26 to 38 days. I am 5.7 145 pounds, exercise every other day and have a active job and lifestyle. Super clean eater and only eat wild caught fish and organic fruit and veg. I have lots of time for myself and practice lots of self care. I know that my mindset is what holds me back due programming from my parents and not believing I'm enough but I'm really working on it.  First question, should I be doing the FM detox when my body adrenals are exhausted? second question, I have been doing the 21 days weight loss diet and have not lost any wight at all. I put on a 6 pounds in two weeks when on holidays in October and have not lost it since. Should I have doing a weight loss diet if my thyroid is already under functioning?  I am hoping to fall pregnant ASAP as I'm 36 and time is not on my side. I have been following all your protocols for over 18 months I look forward to hearing your recommendations.  Jacquie: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for the knowledge you share on your podcast, it has truly been life changing. I have a question regarding my brother. He tried a high protein diet and was feeling ill. Turns out that one of his kidneys is very small (they think he was born that way). Looks like he has only one good functioning kidney and the high protein diet was too much on his body. He is off the high protein diet, is now more open to a balanced diet and is already feeling better. My question is what can he do (other than the daily foundational support) to further support his body now knowing this? Would you recommend normal protein diet or one that is lower in protein? He is 26 yrs old and otherwise seems healthy. Thank you again for all that you do. Courtney: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all that you do. I recently found out that I’m pregnant and I’m so thankful for all of your information. I was wondering if L-Lysine is safe to take during pregnancy. I have herpes and I’m wanting to do everything I can not to pass it along to my baby. My doctor recommended that I take valtrex during my last trimester of pregnancy to prevent the baby from getting it. What are your thoughts on this? Is there a more holistic approach? Thank you for all your help.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1472 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1471: Small Red Bumps, Ganglion Cyst, High Homocysteine, Dry Skin Patches, Breast Cancer, Herxheimer Reaction (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  John: Hi Dr. Cabral! I occasionally get small red bumps near the last joint on my fingers (often close to the bed of the nail). They don’t hurt but can sometimes itch. I suspect that these could be from a food intolerance, although i haven’t pinned down any food that may be causing them. I’m wondering if you’ve come across this before, and if you have any answers for what may be causing this, as I’ve gotten these on and off for most of my life. Thank you! Lucy: Hi Dr. Cabral! My stepmom is suffering from a ganglion cyst on her palm. It’s not bad yet but she’s had surgery to remove them before and they keep coming back. I did a search on your podcast and didn’t see anything so would love to see if there are natural remedies for treating and preventing ganglion cysts! Thanks for all that you do! Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, First I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being someone I can trust to help me sift through all of the information out there on health, fitness, longevity and wellness. You're the best! A few years ago I started seeing a functional medicine practitioner. She tested my homocysteine levels which came back at a whopping 87! I am an otherwise very healthy 50 year old woman. I have tried various protocols to get my homocysteine levels down, and have been successful supplementing with very high doses of methylated folate, B12, TMG, etc. However, I am extremely sensitive to these methyl donors and become extremely agitated, angry, and anxious, so although the homocysteine drops to a 12 I am absolutely miserable. So I've stopped taking methylated Bs and the levels rise back up to the mid 40's. Is there any protocol you recommend to those of us with MTHFR SNPs who are struggling with hyperhomocysteinemia? Thanks so much for all you do. With gratitude, Lisa Anna: Hello Dr Cabral, I'm wondering if you can give me some advice regarding my daughter Florentine. She has a patch of dry/red skin (the dryness and the redness fluctuates) at the base of her neck. Also a small dry/pink patch on her arm. She has had these patches since she was about 2 months old and she is now 7 months. She is unaware of them. I saw a naturopath and have since eliminated dairy from my diet. This Friday will be a month without dairy and I don't think there has been any change. How long should I give it to be sure that dairy is/isn't causing the skin irritation?Kindest regards, Anna Janine: Hi Dr. Cabral, A few weeks ago I sent in a question for you about a recent cancer diagnosis. It is my second breast cancer diagnosis in eight years. I am extremely healthy and was really perplexed about why I was getting sick again. I thought maybe from having meat in my diet, and stress?.....Since then I had genetic testing done and I tested positive for the BRCA2 gene mutation. So I think my question has been answered!

1465: Ginseng, Genetic Testing, Starving While Fasting, Jazzercise Comeback, Grocery Shopping Tips, Perfect Post Workout Carb Source (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Dar: What are your thoughts as using a ginsing based tea or supplement for extra energy? Gracias. Jon: Hi Dr Quick question, I’m wanting to do the genetic test but it’s unavailable, are you going to be doing them again? If not, what would you recommend.Thanks for all your knowledge.Jon from Aus Vivian: Hello, I just listened to the faster way to fat loss pod cast and you were so interesting. I did the faster way over the summer and while it was good I still didn’t see the results I was hoping for. I just had a bunch of blood work done and wanted to know if you do any consulting. I’d love to have you take a look at the results of my bloodwork and let me know what you think. Basically I’m 45 and I’ve been steadily gaining weight over the past year. I’m not overweight but if I continue on this path I will be overweight soon.I workout 3-5 days a week with a combination of strength training and running/ walking and some yoga. I eat a whole food diet but I do enjoy wine when I eat out once a week or so and I do have a sweet tooth but it’s minimal. I drink one cup of coffee per day with a tablespoon of cream. According to my doctor all of my numbers are in the normal range some low end but still with in normal limits. I’m so frustrated with my weight I’m not sure what to do.I do the intermittent fasting but after hearing you speak I’m wondering if that is helping or possibly hurting me. I try to do the 16/8 but it’s very hard for me. I find myself starving after 13 or 14 hr fast. Anyway, would love to get your feedback if you do that. Thanks, Vivian Kristin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to your podcast often while working and enjoy all the great info. on healthcare, etc. I have learned so much and my husband and I are looking forward to doing the 21 day detox in January! I have a little beef I gotta get off my chest...just kidding :-) I did want to mention though, after listening to episode 741 of the podcasts, that Jazzercise is a great workout! I'm 35 and I have tried many different types of exercise and I have found that so much of what is out there is just way to difficult to sustain for more than a few months, and I want something I can do for many seasons of life. I tried Jazzercise since I was always drawn to dance aerobics and have ended up loving it. Each 55 min. class includes 20-30 mins. of cardio, some stretching, and weight training. You can also adjust your level of difficulty by how much "umph" you put into your moves and how heavy of weights you use. The ladies in there are in great shape and are strong. I realized how well this was working for me when I decided to go running one day, without any training, just to mix it up. I ran 1 1/2 miles, faster than I had ever ran. I think I could have run further but it was in the dead of summer and the heat was a lot. I could tell that my cardio endurance has reached a new level. Anyway, I just wanted to mention this since you like knowing what's out there and getting information about all types of diets and exercise. Maybe you could give Jazzercise a second glance. Who knows, you may even recommend it to someone! Thanks and Merry Christmas! Kami: Hi Dr.Cabral! Thanks for everything you do. I’ve spent a lot of money on supplements and a local naturopathic doctor, including a blood and hormone test. I have some gut dysbiosis and severe estrogen dominance symptoms. I am also a college student and have found myself in a lot of credit card debt. I’ve finally had to crack down and make a tight budget. I try to eat mostly blant-based, dairy free, and gluten free - however, my healing fluctuates because I don’t always stick to these guidelines 100 percent. I’m currently taking your multi-vitamins, probiotics and omega 3’s, some digestive enzymes, ester-c, DIM, evening primrose oil, and some herbs to support the liver and menstruation. I have some supplements to tide me over for a while, but I’m wondering when I run out, what to do? My monthly budget for supplements will probably be 20 dollars. Would some lower quality vitamins do anything, or do I need to just try to be very mindful of my diet to get all my nutrients? Also I was wondering if you have any tips with groceries. I try to get organic when I can, but some things I have to pick and choose. My grocery store also has gluten-free oats, and organic oats in the bulk section, but not gluten-free organic. Is it better to go with gluten-free, or just get the organic? Any tips you would have for staying healthy on a budget would be much appreciated.Thanks! Simon: Hi Dr Cabral I have some questions on perfecting my Post Workout Shakes. I am a fit vata-pita wanting to put on lean muscle mass and increase overall health and longevity. 1) what would you recommend as a healthy (powdered) carb to use in a post workout mix for muscle recovery and weight gain? I have previously used maltodextrin (but stopped because it is basically sugar) then waxy maize starch (which seemed good but is corn-based) then transitioned away from carbs altogether after getting into the whole low/no-carb ‘craze’. Now having listened to your podcasts I understand a reasonable amount of carbs before/after workouts may benefit my gains and health. You recommend a fruit smoothie however I need a pre-mixed powder (which I’m happy to formulate myself in bulk). At present my (non-carb) mix consist of: grass-fed whey; collagen peptides (for gut health); BCAAs; glutamine; spirulina (antioxidants) and stevia. I care more about results that flavour! Any recommendations for a healthy powdered carb addition? I was thinking maybe powdered organic fruit but what are your thoughts on waxy maize starch or Palatinose as options? 2) How important is it to include antioxidants straight after an intense workout? I have heard some say antioxidants can actually dampen some of the positive (stressors?) of working out?

1464: Vegetable Oils, Using Greens Powder on Detox, Stool Strain, Allergy Induced Asthma, Diaphragm Breathing, Healthy Processed Food (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Nancy: Hello Dr. Cabral! I've been learning so much from your podcast and book, and have a question about vegetable oils. In my nutrition class at college, my teacher explained how polyunsaturated vegetable oils like canola oil have been processed and are often already oxidized to form damaging free radicals, or at the very least would form them when heated during cooking. We joke that perhaps a bottle of canola oil is like a bottle of free radicals. However, a lot of heart health research studies say that using "polyunsaturated vegetable oils like canola oil" reduce heart disease risk. When I learned about omega-3s, I understood that they are beneficial and anti-inflammatory, and perhaps canola originally had O3 in it, but by its chemical nature of many double bonds, doesn't that mean the processing and heating would create free radicals, so how can heart associations say it's healthy? They even sponsor canola oil on the bottle! Can you help clarify - shouldn't everyone avoid canola oil and similar vegetable oils? Thank you for sharing your incredible wisdom with the world! Wanda: Hello! I am about to start my first 7 day detox and I was wondering if it would be ok to include 1 scoop of the fruit/veg powder with each drink? I do NOT want to lose any weight during the week and thought it might be a good idea? Reem: Dear Dr. Cabral, I hope you are doing well. I’ve been having a hard time passing out stool and suffering from bloating for more than a year now. I stopped getting the urge of wanting to pass out stool and when I decide to go I strain a lot. It’s been a year since the stool came out as bulk...currently when I strain it comes out as small soft blobs. Because of straining, I got a minor stomach hernia and hemorrhoid. I did endocsocpy, colonoscopy, stool test and blood test and all turned out to be fine. When I told the doctor that I’m on a low carb diet he suspected that I’m not having enough fiber. So, they gave me some natural fiber to eat and it does improve passing out stool a little.I’m so tired of all this. I feel down and I noticed that I started to be less social.I wanted to know you opinion on my case and if there are any further tests that can be done for example food sensitivity or any other test. Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have a question about asthma. I am 24 years old and have had "allergy induced asthma" for nearly 8 years. I have been working on my gut for about two years - done CBO & finisher, taken the food sensitivity test, stool test, OAT, am now taking GI balance for 2 months per my practitioner. I've also tested HTMA & am addressing those imbalances with supplements, and I just sent in my Thyroid, Adrenal Hormone this December. My allergy symptoms like sore throat, sneezing, etc, have gotten dramatically better, but the asthma persists on (as does a recurring eczema patch, and I know they are related). I do acupuncture, nasal drains, take all my supplements, eat a clean diet (no dairy, gluten, processed sugar), and do things daily to reduce stress. But I still feel stuck! I've been on Zyrtec & Cingulair for 8 years - I even tried going off my Zyrtec recently and while my allergies were fine, I had to go back on because of trouble breathing after a few weeks. It seems to start first in my nose, the best I can describe it is like I am sniffing to get more air in. Then eventually my throat starts to hurt and I am breathing in through my mouth, trying to get deep breathes in there. It's just uncomfortable, more than anything, and I can't seem to get to the underlying cause. My immediate question for you is: Where is the next place to look? What could be the cause given all that I've already done? Second, I'd love to see you do one or two episodes diving DEEP on asthma. Thanks as always! Katie James: Hey mentor, I have a question regarding breath. I feel like throughout the day I do not breath properly, I often times unconsciously hold my breath, and when i do breath, I do not breath into my diaphragm. For a long time I have had real issues to get a "full" breath and when I breath it feels as if my breath is getting stuck in my throat/top of chest, like I have some form of blocking there, making it hard to breath deeply. I have had this for a long time, and sometimes I have to make myself yawn to get a full breath, whether I'm breathing through my mouth or nose it seems the only way to get a full breath is to yawn. When I meditate i feel the same issue and I have the urge to yawn lots of times when i am breathing during mediation. I wonder if you had any idea on why it may be that I feel some sort of blocking there, or am a unable to get a full breath without yawning. Possibly some emotional trauma type blockage, maybe a physical tightening of the chest/throat due to some inflammation, I'm pretty puzzled.Any thoughts would be great, thank you... James! James: Hi Doc, my question is about these processed food products I see sold at the supermarket. Do they hold any real benefit, or are most of the vitamins and minerals lost in the processing process? I guess there must be many factors that play a role such as what company is making the products, what product it is etc. but for example, coconut water, dark chocolate, dried fruit - can these be good for me? When Im drinking a cartoned coconut water am I really getting the electrolytes which would be present in its natural form etc. Thank you doctor, James Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1464 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1462: Could You Be Suffering From Copper Toxicity Side Effects (TT)

Although the mineral copper is vitally important to many aspects of our health, it has become way too common to see this in excess on a person’s lab results...

1458: Corneal Erosions, B12 to Folate Ratio, Detox & Periods, Anti-Aging BioHacking, GMP Certified (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral! I love your podcast and appreciate all you do to share your knowledge and the gift of wellness. I have had chronic dry eyes for the last 12 years. Before I realized what was going on I’d wake and have extreme pain and watering in my eyes. Turns out I was having corneal erosions (corneal tears). As per my eye doctor, I quit wearing contact lenses and began using OTC tears as well as an ointment in my eyes at bedtime. I have done this for years. Corneal specialist said my cells were like a bumpy road rather than smooth and would get caught on the eyelids and tear. I have also had the inside of my (upper) eyelids abraded with silver nitrate 3-4 times. I have also been using Restasis for the last few months. Eyes are still dry, I still use ointment at night but I would love to get to the root of the problem and not have this constant worry that I’ll wake up with a painful tear. Thank you in advance!!! Jan: I notice my DNS shake has 250 mcg of methyl B12 and 400 Mcg of methyl folate. Other supplements I've taken have a higher ratio of b12 to folate...like 1000 Mcg b12 to 400 Mcg folate. Can you please explain your reasoning behind the lower b12/folate ratio in the DNS shake? (PS - I would love to hear a podcast just on the DNS shake itself, and how and why Dr. Cabral used specific ingredients and specific amounts when formulating it. It helps me to "visualize" what the shake is doing for my body - seriously! ) Andrea: Hi Dr Cabral. I went off the pill 5 years ago and got regular periods straight away, however, I have been struggling with missing periods the last 2 years getting it around once every 4 months. I have been working with my Naturopath, running tests and have been working to bring my thyroid number down from a 6 to currently a 3 amongst other lifestyle changes. I did get my period back in August on day 3 of my 7 day Cabral detox. Today (Dec) I started another 7 day detox and it is back on day 1! Could the timing be slightly coincidental or are the herbs in the detox tablets helping bring this on? Any insights into how I might achieve these same results when not completing a detox? Many Thanks. Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently listed to a podcast on longevity featuring Dr. David Sinclair, Harvard professor and author of Lifespan. He spoke on Metformin, Resveratrol, and NAD booster how these are essential for longevity. I know you have referenced Resveratrol several times in your podcasts, but I searched and could not locate any specific podcasts. What is your take on each of these and is a Resveratrol supplement something that is safe to take and if so how many mg? Thanks so much for all you do! Melody: Hi Dr. Cabral! I love your podcast and everything you teach - you've been a lifesaver for me and my family. However, my PCP is a skeptic with supplements and puts doubts in my mind all the time. So I wanted to ask you about the Equilibrium Nutrition supplements - when you say they are third party tested, where can we find that information on the website or product description? I see the GMP certification - but from what I've read, all supplements need to be GMP certified in order to be FDA approved, is that correct? So by "third party testing" do you mean you use NSF as your third party tester? I'll feel better being able to explain this to my doc and friends if I know more about this. Thank you for being one of the best humans on the planet - I'm so grateful for you!

1457: Broken Metabolism, Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, Viruses, Fever Food Protocol, C Curve in Spine, High Vitamin D Levels (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Cheryl: Hi Dr. Cabral, I know I have had alot of stress. In 2015 while trying to lose weight, clean diet and exercising very hard nothing worked. ONe day while working out I crashed. I broke out in a cold sweat and had no energy. I lanaded in the emergency room. then the following 2 months I worked up "everything" and everything was normal-LOL. through my reading I found I had adrenal fatigue. I went on various supplements and changed my diet to mostly vegetables and meats and fats. No gluten, no sugar, no dairy and no processed foods. After about 3 months I started losing weight effortlessly. I had to eat about every 2 to 3 hours to keep my weightloss to no more than 2 pounds a week. I did not exercise. After I loss about 75 pounds The stress started to return and I gained 50 pounds. That was 2 years ago. Now I want to do it properly. I just did a 14 day detox lost 15 pounds. I am now walking 10 to 15k steps a day. What should I do next? thanks, Megan: Hi Dr. C, apologies in advance for the long and personal question, but I know there are many women out there like me with similar issues regarding Hypothalamic Amenorrhea and I'm hoping your take on my situation will benefit all of us. I am 26, 130 lbs at 5ft8, and I haven't gotten my period in 1.5 years since going off the pill (which I was on for about 9 years after having only one natural period at age 13, followed by irregular periods). I was also dieting at a very young age (low carb in particular), so I know this likely wrecked havoc on my pituitary... However, I have never had a full blown ED, but I was nonetheless always very conscious of my eating and exercise habits. During the first 8 months or so of going off the pill, I was also living in a city while working 2-3 jobs so I was very stressed out but it felt like I had energy (thanks, cortisol!).I did the big 5 labs back in October 2018 which informed me all my hormones were practically 0, but my thyroid was fine though, and I was on the brink of adrenal burnout along with markers of candida, which could also explain the high cortisol. I did the CBO protocol and took DHEA along with the other baseline supplements she suggested, and while my digestion has slowly progressed, by period was still nowhere to be seen. Over the last 6 months, I have completely turned my life around, left the city and my stressful jobs, went traveling and enjoying my life, and came back to have my OBGYN run my labs in October 2019. My hormones looked MUCH better, all normal according to my doc, with Estradiol 52 pg/mL, Progesterone 0.17 ng/ml, LH 13.3 IU/L, FSH 6.7 IU/L, DHEA 4.7 ng/ml, TSH 2.29 uIU/mL, Free Test. 0.23 ng/dL and Total Test. 33 ng/dL.... All this to say, my period is still missing and I am at a loss of what to do. I am a health coach myself, thus well versed in the importance of a healthy diet, eliminating stress, and low level exercise in cases of HA. I eat an abundant plantbased diet with occasional fish, I don't do any high-impact exercise or cardio beyond walking and yoga, and I do not feel stressed. In fact, I feel pretty amazing all around-- my hair, skin, nails, digestion, sleep schedule, energy are all the best they've been in a long time, and yet my 5th vital sign is missing! The only other option I've researched is the concept of forcing-feeding yourself 2500+ cals/day at any cost, no food restrictions (junk food, pancakes, pasta...), and eliminating all forms of exercise aside from stretching for 6+ weeks to "inform your body it isn't in danger"... but I find it hard to believe that I must be unhealthy in order to gain my period back. I'm also unsure whether doing a DCD would be helpful or harmful at this point. I am very lost, and would love your insight. Thank you for ALL that you do, each and every day, many thanks! - Megan Molly: Hello, I have listened to Dr. Cabral for some time now. We have also done some food sensitivity testing through you guys for my daughter. Today, I am inquiring about myself. I currently have a shingles outbreak (I had my first one in January of 2019 and treated it with anti-viral meds). I have had several this year since the first one, always in the same spot on my back/side. I also became infected with genital herpes through and unfortunate and unforeseen incident 3 years ago. I had listened to one of Dr. Cabrals podcast awhile back about how it could be possible to get rid of the herpes virus for good. I'm not sure if both of these viruses could be nailed with one protocol, but either way I am looking for some guidance on how to go about this. With both of these viruses active in my body, I am not well a lot of the time. I have a herpes breakout at least once a month lasting anywhere from 3-7 days and is very painful. My nutrition is very anti-inflammatory. I do take his daily nutrition support everyday. Looking forward to having hearing back and having some hope for my future. Thank you Molly Dar: "To eat when your sick is to feed your sickness" hippocrates. I have read many places that it is actually good to fast while sick is this true based on your experiences and do you recommend this course of action? Ellen: Hi, I'd love your thoughts on the "C" curve in the neck. My daughter (14) has zero curve. Some chiropractors want to be very aggressive about treating it with traction and pulleys and some seem to think it's just a structural variance and it's fine. My daughter is overall healthy but she does have a neurological condition called misophonia which is a real burden for her. I'd love any thoughts you have on either condition. Thanks! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thanks for all you do and the great services you provide. I wanted to get your thoughts on Vitamin D level. Recently my blood work came back with a vitamin D (25-OH) level of 92 ng/ml. I know you recommend a level between 50-70, going to 80s being the highest. Although the normal range from my Lab results is 30-100, I’m afraid my level of 92 too high base on your ideal range. About a year ago I switch to taking 2 drops of your vitamin D drop, should I decrease my dose? My level used to be super low and since I don’t get much sun exposure, I supplement everyday. I know most people are deficient in vitamin D and I was surprised to see my level increased drastically from the previous year’s lab results. Am I at risk for any health issue with this elevated level? Best regards.

1455: The Undiagnosed Symptoms of Heavy Metal Toxicity (TT)

One of the issues I see with the way conventional medicine views health is that they are an either all or nothing modality... They believe "health is the absence of the disease," but as you and I know this leaves a lot of people dealing with chronic health issues for life... This is exactly the case with heavy metal exposure and their potentially horrific effect on the body, mind & nervous system...

1451: Natural Antibacterials, Muscular Dystrophy, Anus Itch, ADD Lab Testing, Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, Viral Outbreaks, Low Heart Rate (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, Can you please tell me what you would recommend for natural antibiotics for my 8 yr old daughter? We working to correct gut issues that we believe have stemmed from too many antibiotics and a previously poor diet. I don’t feel that giving her 9ml 4x a day of clindamycin will help improve her immune system or digestive health. I’ve ordered your labs and we’re in the process of completing them.To make a long story short, my daughter got something lodged in the bottom of her foot. We went to her PCP and then to an ortho doctor, who removed the object. My daughter continued to have pain and normal mobility decreased. We went to another ortho doc, but no one could pinpoint why my daughter was having pain and limping. We went to a pediatric ortho doc who confirmed that there was a foreign body still in her foot. We just had surgery and things went well. IV antibiotics & anesthesia were used during surgery. We were informed that if infection was found, we would be sent home with an additional antibiotic to treat. According to the doctor, there was no real indication of infection, only a small amount of fluid around the object, so I believe the clindamycin is preventative. She’ll be in a splint for about 2 weeks. I can somewhat understand using antibiotics during the surgery, but don’t feel good giving my daughter this amount of prescription antibiotics. What natural antibiotics or supports would you use for your daughters if in a similar situation? Thank you in advance for your wisdom and compassion. Mary: Dear Dr. Cabral, I am writing on behalf of my husband who has recently been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy at age 72. The doctors have told him it's genetic and may run in the family, but I recently met one of your IHP graduates who told us about your Rain Barrel Effect book and is helping us change our diets as a starting point. Together we are trying to understand what triggered the onset at this late age. We've learned about the functional medicine tests, but are overwhelmed with the cost. Can you share any of your experience with this disease and what you've seen to be the most common root causes? Thank you for being such a wonderful human being and for sharing your wisdom of healing with the world! Chris: Hi Dr Cabral team! Love your show and your work and hope you can help me! I am a 42 year old male with healthy diet & habits apart from high stress levels for quite a few years. About two years ago my anus started itching. It would come and go a few times but then got more persistent.It has now been going on for two years and after two separate visits to the GP, the diagnose was chronic pruritus ani. The only remedy suggested was use of steroids in the form of Advantan fatty ointment.I am not sure the diagnosis is right as the skin around the anus get's red, scaly and agitated when taking a hot shower. Unfortunately the only sense of relief is to scrub what seems to be skin cells from the area but then I think that worsens the eczema. While the steroids do remove the itching and inflammation, symptoms return a week or so later and the cycle repeats itself.I really don't want to apply more steroids but now my condition is worsening and I am feeling very frustrated. Any ideas on how I can test my way to what this is? I have also undergone the CBO protocol as well as the gut rebuilding protocol with no result. I also get mild psoriasis in my ear canal and it has been around for about the same time period, perhaps this is related? I have also been diagnosed with mild benign prostatic hyperplasia which I am told is not related but gives you a better overview of my overall health. Any ideas and suggestions appreciated! Chris Mark: Dear Dr. Cabral I’m a keen follower of your overall work and actively listen to most of your podcasts. I’m based in London. Born and raised in south india. Married to my wife (who is also South Indian), and two children aged 8 and 12. (I share this given your own history in the sub continent) While I’ve had my own complexities with life in general, relative to mental and physical health, relationships and family, I would like to focus here entirely upon my son who is 12 years old. He was diagnosed with ADD (not hyperactive, if anything, very mild) a few years ago, and has been on medication (non stimulant) since. Straterra to begin with, and recently changed to Guanfacine.His symptoms I would say extend to beyond ADD related, has a non standard pencil grip, used to suffer with bruxism when little, lots of foods make him queasy and food is generally a struggle (exacerbated when he was on straterra, which I think may have been a side effect), has a history of swallowing glue/ blue tac in large quantities, has a tendency to drop things / spill drinks , is afraid of the dark and won’t sleep on his own after all these years of trying. Sport is not one of this main strengths, in fact on a school trip to Italy his form teacher mentioned that he was always tired/ lagging the group on most tours to places of interest. On a more general note, last but not least, he is very low on self confidence, not the first to voice his opinion, and won’t be the first to approach someone/ make conversation.As a parent it makes me really sad when I think about what life has in store for him. Many of these symptoms sound like my own childhood. I’ve spent some time researching his condition a number of books/podcasts on ADD, including one by Dr Gabor Mate. Arguably some of his condition could be influenced by poor parenting/ arguments at home and there is no doubt is a large part. I would really like to explore “fixing” his problems and dream that he enjoys a normal childhood, grows to be a confident young man, becomes popular in school once again with lots of friends. Would greatly appreciate any advice you have to offer. I know food/nutrition would play a large part of what you would recommend. I also hope to wean him off his medication having read how it doesn’t do a great deal of food for the longer term. Considering we live in the UK I also wonder what restrictions there are in terms of remote testing that would be allowed to ship to you in case protocols/tests form a part of the recommendation. I also wonder if the rest of the family(including myself) should also consider to be a part of the testing and we should all get tested as a family.Thank you in advance. And once again, thank you for all you do. Megan: Hi Dr. C, apologies in advance for the long and personal question, but I know there are many women out there like me with similar issues regarding Hypothalamic Amenorrhea and I'm hoping your take on my situation will benefit all of us. I am 26, 130 lbs at 5ft8, and I haven't gotten my period in 1.5 years since going off the pill (which I was on for about 9 years after having only one natural period at age 13, followed by irregular periods). I was also dieting at a very young age (low carb in particular), so I know this likely wrecked havoc on my pituitary... However, I have never had a full blown ED, but I was nonetheless always very conscious of my eating and exercise habits. During the first 8 months or so of going off the pill, I was also living in a city while working 2-3 jobs so I was very stressed out but it felt like I had energy (thanks, cortisol!).I did the big 5 labs back in October 2018 which informed me all my hormones were practically 0, but my thyroid was fine though, and I was on the brink of adrenal burnout along with markers of candida, which could also explain the high cortisol. I did the CBO protocol and took DHEA along with the other baseline supplements she suggested, and while my digestion has slowly progressed, by period was still nowhere to be seen. Over the last 6 months, I have completely turned my life around, left the city and my stressful jobs, went traveling and enjoying my life, and came back to have my OBGYN run my labs in October 2019. My hormones looked MUCH better, all normal according to my doc, with Estradiol 52 pg/mL, Progesterone 0.17 ng/ml, LH 13.3 IU/L, FSH 6.7 IU/L, DHEA 4.7 ng/ml, TSH 2.29 uIU/mL, Free Test. 0.23 ng/dL and Total Test. 33 ng/dL....All this to say, my period is still missing and I am at a loss of what to do. I am a health coach myself, thus well versed in the importance of a healthy diet, eliminating stress, and low level exercise in cases of HA. I eat an abundant plantbased diet with occasional fish, I don't do any high-impact exercise or cardio beyond walking and yoga, and I do not feel stressed. In fact, I feel pretty amazing all around-- my hair, skin, nails, digestion, sleep schedule, energy are all the best they've been in a long time, and yet my 5th vital sign is missing! The only other option I've researched is the concept of forcing-feeding yourself 2500+ cals/day at any cost, no food restrictions (junk food, pancakes, pasta...), and eliminating all forms of exercise aside from stretching for 6+ weeks to "inform your body it isn't in danger"... but I find it hard to believe that I must be unhealthy in order to gain my period back. I'm also unsure whether doing a DCD would be helpful or harmful at this point. I am very lost, and would love your insight. Thank you for ALL that you do, each and every day, many thanks! - Megan Molly: Hello, I have listened to Dr. Cabral for some time now. We have also done some food sensitivity testing through you guys for my daughter. Today, I am inquiring about myself. I currently have a shingles outbreak (I had my first one in January of 2019 and treated it with anti-viral meds). I have had several this year since the first one, always in the same spot on my back/side. I also became infected with genital herpes through and unfortunate and unforeseen incident 3 years ago. I had listened to one of Dr. Cabrals podcast awhile back about how it could be possible to get rid of the herpes virus for good. I'm not sure if both of these viruses could be nailed with one protocol, but either way I am looking for some guidance on how to go about this. With both of these viruses active in my body, I am not well a lot of the time. I have a herpes breakout at least once a month lasting anywhere from 3-7 days and is very painful. My nutrition is very anti-inflammatory. I do take his daily nutrition support everyday. Looking forward to having hearing back and having some hope for my future. Thank you Molly Jon: Hi Doc, Jon from Aus here. I have a question about the Oura ring, I have one and notice my resting heart rate is on average 40 but goes around 38-39 also. Is this good or a concern? How does it affect blood circulation? Im predominately vata with pitta body type. Also can you explain heart rate variability, and when Rem,Non Rem, deep and light sleep(what they are and is there a "healthy" order of these types of sleep? Meaning are you in and out of all these cycles all through the night or is it supposed to be in order? I have heard you only dream at the end of your nights sleep or is that not true? hope that makes sense LOL second question (couldn't help myself sorry)I want to check my Blood Glucose levels. I bought a glucometer and check before each meal. I have a super metabolism and need 3 main meals a day plus 2-3 fruit snacks to keep me going. What should ideal glucose levels represent? I eat moderately healthy, some processed, and minimal meat. Exampl: I eat oats for breakkie at 6am and im starving by 8;30-9am. Cheers for any help, you are a great mentor #livinglegend!!!love your IHP 1-2 course also!! See you in Sydney!

1450: Ayurvedic Food Questions, Abnormal Menstrual Cycle, CBD/THC Blend, Best Juice Fast, Sleep Issues, Lyme Testing, Vitiligo (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Justin: I was wondering if you could recommend any type or brand of Triphala. Also, I know you are against using dairy in the diet, however I’ve read from numerous sources that milk, cheese, and yogurt are important in balancing the vata dosha. Lastly, I’ve read that drops of sesame oil in the ear can help resolve tinnitus, what are your thoughts on this? Thanks, love the podcast. I’ve learned so much! Anne: Hi Dr. Stephen! I recently listened to Kelli Tennant's podcast where you were a guest and I have to say - wow! The knowledge that you have acquired is admirable and I am very curious to know more. I am seeking help in the sleep department as I have been experiencing a significant period of insomnia, as well as abnormal/cessation of menstrual cycle. I live in LA, do you see patients here? If not, do you have a list of trusted like-minded practitioners like yourself in Los Angeles/CA? Thank you! Cara: Hi Dr Cabral! Fortunately, I have little stash of your CBD products while we patiently wait for yours to be available again.I recently wanted to try a brand of CBD plus THC tincture that a friend was trying because straight CBD still wasn't quite helping me go to sleep. Ive been doing all the other protocols and supplements for sleep.I came upon a brand that sounds great, they post their lab/pesticide reports right on their product pages. They don't make that 24:1 CBD THC blend anymore but they claim they have the strongest CBD oil. Its 750 mg per a 15 mil bottle. However they use non gmo soy lecithin and upon questioning they say that increases the bioavailability. It's tested for residual pesticides and solvents. They say that's why people say there's is so much more potent because its more bioavailable. Since you're the master at bioavailability, what are your thoughts on this? In gratitude, Cara Dar: Hope you are having a great day. My question is regarding a 2 day fast - can you briefly go over the pros and cons of a water fast vs a juice fast. Which juice is the best to fast with in your opinion and for a water fast is it better to use lemon honey water or plain water. I am planning on doing the 7 day cabral detox in January. Thanks for all you do p.s. if I am asking too many questions through ask cabral let me know and I will cut down but it will be difficult since your answers are way too informative and it almost feels like having a conversation with a friend.  Melissa: Thanks for all of your insights, I love continuing to learn and improve my health and the health of my family. I have 2 opposite sleep issues. My son has Lyme disease. He was diagnosed over 10 years ago. He has done lots of different treatments throughout the years and is feeling good except for his chronic insomnia! Also my daughter deals with chronic fatigue, is tired all the time and sleeps a lot. If only they could share their sleep hours:) Appreciate any recommendations! Chanel: Hi, What is the best method of testing for lyme? From my understanding, the blood test may not be the most accurate. I’ve heard Dr. Cabral mention that he has completed teachings/seminars on lyme and am wondering if those are yet available. Thank you for all you do. Your information is life-changing. DB: Sensitive subject. Son has vitiligo on half of his two fingers and two small spots on the middle of his back. His tests for vitamin b, d, and autoimmune issues(that his pediatrician said are often associated with vitiligo) have come back negative. I heard you on a podcast briefly mention that hydrogen peroxide could potentially help. We give him nutrasea omega 3, smarty pants multivitamin and elderberry. What steps would you take if this was your 4 year old child as obviously this could affect his mental health later on and is worrisome as a parent? Are there better supplements I could get him. I'll do anything for them. Many thanks for your input. Malinda: I’ve been searching for the answer to what is the root cause of CRADLE CAP. Like you, I have a need to know the underlining issues that causes dis-ease in the body. There has to be a reason that some babies get cradle cap while other do not. All I see online and in my baby books is "there's no known reason, it just clears up on its own." My first child had it when he was a baby and after about a year it cleared up on its own. Now my 8 month old has it. I’ve decided this time around I want to really understand what is going on in my babies body. I am using Babyganics cleansing oil which contains oils like sesame seed and almond as well as calendula and black cumin to name a few ingredients, in addition to giving her 30C of Boiron Calcarea Carbonica a day, which is the homeopathic recommendation. Im noticing her scalp flaking more and it looks like it’s going away by using these products. However, I really want to know what has caused CRADLE CAP to happen in the first place because even though Im using these products and the issue seems to be resloving, is her body still in dis-ease even after the cradle cap has cleared up? Does her gut need more probiotics? Should I do a rotation diet? Am I eating something that is causing it, since she is breastfeeding? Someone on your facebook group page suggested that not washing your baby right after birth keeps it away, however I had all natural home-births and didn’t bath my babies for at least a week if not more. Also was suggested that a correction of balance of the skin flora/gut flora would locate its root cause. I want her body/ gut to be as healthy as it can be going forward. I'm curious as to what is REALLY causing it. If you have time, I also would like to know what is the root cause of hernias? I’ve searched your podcast but non address the root cause. After my husband had a inguinal hernia, it seems everyone we talk to has had a hernia or multiple hernias, which I want to avoid for my husband. Our bodies can’t possibly be that flawed. You rock, thank you for helping so many people! You’re a real life superhero. Anthony: Hi Dr. Cabral. IHP student here. My dad has premature ventricular contractions his whole life but it's ramping up in his 50s, to a debilitating point where it would happen every minute of every hour for HOURS until he takes Atenolol & Estazolam. Then it would slowly subside and the skipping & palpitations would be manageable. This would happen at grocery stores at checkout, non-stressful conversations, and sometimes throughout the night. His physician / cardiologist switched him to Metropolol & Clonazepan. Which exacerbated the condition and it's still affecting him now. I think that taking 10 years of benzos caused a dependency that can't make him switch from Estazolam? What is your take on this situation for short term immediate relief & long term root causes?

1447: How to Lower Cortisol & Stress Naturally (WW)

There are a lot of people talking about how inflammation is the underlying factor in many diseases in the body... And although this is completely true, we often forget what caused the inflammation in the first place... One of the inflammatory root causal issues is cortisol (your body's stress hormone) which can cause free radical damage, dysregulate the immune system, and cause blood sugar fluctuations...

Each one of us is on a unique path faced with specific challenges we must overcome while doing our best to live a happy, healthy life... That’s not necessarily a bad thing and I believe it’s time we begin to view life not as a set of individual hardships, but rather “phases” we are in that will determine our next level of life based on how well we complete this one...

1444: Boils, ASMR, Local Candida Infections, Clean Out Diverticula, Strep Acne, OCD Imbalances (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Jean: hello, can you please talk to us about boils. my son has had boils all over his body but mostly on his buttock for the last 3 years (off and on) is there anything in Functional Medicine, Ayurvedic or naturopathy to stop them from happening. background 16 year old, male, fit, strong, enjoys life but has everyday stresses of school, diet is 80% organic diet mostly 60% vegetarian 10% organic meat but does have a high dose of 30% junk food (chips, soft drink, dairy, fried food, white bread). sleeps 8 hours a night. thanks for your time Jean. Mina:  What are your thoughts on ASMR as a means to switch on the parasympathetic nervous system? I've received tingling sensations in my scalp by watching ASMR videos and I'm fascinated as to why this happens. Any idea? Check out a ASMR soap-carving or tapping video. *mindblown* Mimi: Dear Dr. Cabral, I'm curious about the length of time for healing after the CBO protocol. I had candida/bacterial overgrowth on the OAT test, no parasites on the stool test, and mild sensitivities on the IGG test. I'm almost done with the CBO protocol + citricidal and have followed it with the sensitive gut/elimination diet very strictly. I'm still following the elimination diet just to be safe. My gut feels good, but I had 3 symptoms when I started that I thought were related to the gut overgrowth, and they persist daily: (1) itchy eczema on my ears (2) anal itching and (3) a white tongue (not a coating, just more white than pink). Based on the HTMA + omega-3 test, I'm also supplementing with all EN products to rebalance mineral deficiencies and omega-3. I was hoping these 3 symptoms would have started to subside as I'm almost done with the CBO, but they haven't eased, so my question is, do you see these kinds of symptoms go away during the protocol, or more after the 3 months of heal + seal? Thank you for everything you do - you have saved my health and my life and I am eternally grateful for you! Manny: Hello Dr. Cabral! I love your podcast and all that you do. I'm a 52 year old male and have had diverticulosis with diverticulitis for the last 5 years. I listened to episode 827 and have ordered the 3 gut tests (OAT, IGG, stool). In that episode you mentioned an "autoimmune/paleo" diet but didn't go into specifics. I understand that when I get the tests back, I will likely go on the CBO protocol with the sensitive gut guide - is this guide the same as the "autoimmune/paleo" diet you mentioned? If so, should I go ahead and start the sensitive gut guide while I wait for the tests? And one more part to my question - in your experience, do the pockets of diverticula actually heal or will they always be there? Thank you, with the deepest gratitude and appreciation for you!! Lauren: Hi Dr Cabral, do you have a protocol for strep/acne.... thanks Cole: Hi Dr. Cabral!! I love your podcasts & books, my question is regarding OCD. I have had it since I was in high school, maybe around 14 or 15 years old. I am now 23. It's not the kind of OCD where I need everything to be straight or clean (though I do like being clean) but rather I have to always "check" everything so that I'm not missing anything. Whenever I leave my house I HAVE to go over a "checklist" in my head of some things I might need or be missing. I've noticed it has to do more with my own possessions, for example, I only start doing these lists once I have stayed in an apartment for a few months. If I don't do this I will continue to go through each room in my head when I'm out with my friends, etc. It makes me feel "complete" when I do this, if I don't do it, I feel off. It has definitely taken up a lot of time in my life and often times I have to re-go over what I may be missing because I can't focus on the list in my head. I was wondering what advice you can give me for this, or even lab tests that would be best for me. I am generally a healthy individual. I don't take any meds, exercise regularly, eat a plant based diet, don't get sick often, Use natural based products, occasionally meditate in the sauna, etc. It's extremely embarrassing for me, the only person who - somewhat- knows is my boyfriend who has to sometimes wait while I go over my checklist in my head before we head out the door.

1443: Pesticide Exposure, Migraine Triggers, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Mucus in Stool, Cataracts, Sugar vs. Fat (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Olga: Chronic hayfever and long standing exposure to pesticides, DDT, welding fumes etc. what is the connection and how to normalise the immune system response? Would detox be appropriate? Thanks! Olga Daniel: First off, thank you for your service. You have made huge and positive impact in many lives and I continue to additionally spread your name and messages around. You give us all hope, which we do not get in the medical community. I am a 44 year old white male. I have been struggling with daily migraines the last 10 years (pain scale 7-10). Anything I tried as a preventative only made things worse, besides Propanolol. I take 120mg once per day. BP 115/77. Any and all things triggered or caused the migraine to increase in intensity. As you did, I performed a lot of research on my own and learned ways to manage and heal myself based on food/product eliminations. I worked the last two years with a local ND, but your history and experience brings it to a whole other level of knowledge. My testosterone levels were always under 300, so I thought I would try TRT therapy. Out of all things, that just about eliminated my migraines and allowed me to have the ability to take supplements without triggering a migraine. Gradually, I will work to get off TRT, which I have only been on for 18 weeks (1 injection every 3 weeks - 300mg of Testosterone Cypionate). I switched to your practice (under J. Hayes), I now know how deficient I was in vitamins, minerals, and how my body wasn't absorbing much of anything. She put me on a good path. My question to you is, two years ago I went for an abdominal ultrasound due to stomach pain (ended up being gastritis) and 2 - 1x1cm 'hepatic' cysts on my liver were found and a 1- 3mm polyp in my gallbladder (no issues with gallbladder). I usually go for scans every 6 months. Last one (before starting your regimen) on 9/16/2019 now shows they are 2cm on my liver and a 3rd found (left, caudate lobe, right lobe), and polyp (gallbladder) is now 4mm, and now also 1cm cyst was found on my left kidney. If you wouldn't mind explaining how these cysts form, steps to take, etc. Both, Serrapeptase and Nattokinase trigger a migraine for me within an hour. I know both can work miracles, if I could only handle it. MD do not seem concerned, but then again, they do not care much about our health (in my opinion). It will be interesting to see how things go on my next scan, now that fulfilling these deficiencies.For your Notes: (Julia/You have me on the following)Nutritional Supplements:Daily nutritional support shake: Start with ¼ scoop and increase as able with a goal of 2 scoops daily (on-going)GI balance:take 1 with each meal for 2 weeks and try to increase to 2 if able (complete 2 bottles)Daily digestive: 1 with each whole food meal (on- going)Liquid Vitamin D: 6 drops at breakfast (on-going)Omega 3 support: 1 with lunch1 with dinner (on-going)Full Spectrum Magnesium: 1 with lunch 2 with dinner (use for at least 3 months then reassess)Adrenal Soothe: 1-2 with lunch 1-2 with dinner (use for at least 3 months then reassess)Alkalizing Vitamin C: Start with ¼ of a scoop in the morning with the goal of a full scoop (for 3 months then reassess)Zinc Piccolinate: 1 at dinner (use for at least 3 months then reassess)*Iron Response Complete: 1-2 30 min before breakfast pending iron blood test. You are a true blessing to all of us! Daniel Patty: Dr. Cabral, I am a huge fan of your podcast. With all the podcasts I've listened to, I've never heard you talk about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I'm wondering if you have treated anyone with this condition and if so, what you used and how much? My daughter has this condition, along with POTS, Mast Cell Activation Disorder and Celiac Disease. She tries to eat pretty clean and has been gluten-free for a year now. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on this! Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm wondering what the reasons for seeing mucus in your stool might be. For years I've dealt with it on and off - I always just chalked it up to allergies and/or IBS. I've done all the gut testing and have done the CBO protocol, heal & seal, mold protocol, and am now on an abridged CBO that my integrative health practitioner put me on - all that to say, I'm doing the gut work! But I do still occasionally see those mucus-y stools. Any insight on why that might be, and what causes them? Tara: I am a 56 yr old female no major health issues all my life and just now diagnosed with cataracts I’ve never been dependent on eye glasses a have some that I would were for seeing at the movies, theater or driving unfamiliar places at night and just started wearing readers a couple years ago however since the cataracts I really don’t need readers I’ve read that cold pressed haxane free castor can help /reverse cataracts but I’m hesitant to try ( I don’t want to cause more damage ) I’m currently on day 6 of detox I’m searching for a solution other than IOL /surgery I’d like to know if trying castor oil drops is ok or any other recommendations James: Hi Doc, I once heard somebody talk about how unhealthy fats like the various vegetable oils, canola oils etc. were the WORST thing for your body as you can't utilise them at all. Before this i was always under the impression that sugar was the WORST thing for your body, but apparently we can at least use utilise that. I guess this is a bit of a subjective question as it depends on your specific health deficiencies and imbalances when determining what is the WORST food/product for you. But if you was to say on a whole what the worse thing is, or the worst 3 things are, for the MAJORITY of humans - what would they be? IF you cant answer this question because it's too "person-specific" then can you answer me this question - Added sugar vs. Unhealthy oils - what is worse for you and why? Even if you do answer the first, could you also answer the second, I'm quite interested in the Sugar vs. Oils debate.

1440: Burn Fat as Fuel While You Sleep (Factor 5) (WW)

It's not talked about often, but one of the forgotten factors of people that stay naturally lean is that they're able to tap into fat as a fuel source while they sleep... The reason this is important is that if you stop eating a few hours before bed and then you're in bed for 7-9 hours, you have 10-12+ hours where your glucose levels should be normalized and fat should be the primary fuel... However, in people with dysfunctional metabolisms glucose stays elevated due to cortisol, poor sleep patterns, and other "overnight imbalances," which then, in turn, leads to stubborn weight gain....

1439: 3 Forgotten Fasting Truths from Ayurvedic Medicine (TWT)

Long before there was ever all any hype around Intermittent Fasting, Ayurvedic Medicine had already written the book on it... And that's a really important point to make since they've had over 5,000 years of testing to perfect the art & science of fasting... By now we all should know that we need to incorporate some type of intermittent fasting into our day, but the questions as to how long, what hours of the day, and for who largely remain unanswered...

1438: Use the Tim Ferris Fear Setting Formula to Eliminate Worry & Anxiety (MM)

One of the quotes that woke me up the most in life was this: “We often suffer more in imagination than we do in reality.” When I stopped to think about this I realized I’m the one that typically makes a bigger deal out of a situation in my mind than it actually was in life itself... This is why using a “fear setting formula” like the one Tim Ferris spoke about at his TedX Talk can be really powerful... And on today’s #CabralConcept 1438 I’d like to take you through this exact formula on how you can eliminate worry and anxiety around decision making - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1438 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

1437: Shoulder Blade Pain, Caffeine Metabolism, Community Recommendations, Weaker Tolerance, Mouth Breathing, Echinacea Cycling (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm a long time listener for the last 3 years and I'm always sharing your podcasts to help others. I truly appreciate how you do daily podcasts because it helps keep me motivated on my way into work each morning.VERY BRIEF history: Kapha body type/ Struggle BIG TIME to lose any weight Done 2 of your 14 day detoxes completed the CBO protocol I'm 100% plantbased and do not cheat because I need to lose 40 lbs. and I know my body is still not healthy, but I do hope one day I can have a cheat meal. I have done most all labs through you. Adrenals and thyroid look good, but I still take your thyroid supplement. A little Estrogen Dominance and I do take your DIM. HTMA did show high aluminum. I'm ordering your heavy metal protocol today. The 2 labs left for me to take is the Toxicity lab and the Mold Toxicity lab. Both of my kids did your mold toxicity lab and both came back high for molds. We are starting them on your protocol over Christmas break. I have a infrared sauna and do 40 mins a day/5 days a week. I do not exercise enough, but do enjoy hot yoga twice a week. Honestly, I am feeling much better than I ever have in the past, even though I still know I have to have more toxicity because I can't lose weight. Besides the struggle to lose weight, I have severe shoulder blade pains. My Biomedical doctor put me on LDN and other anti-inflammatory supplements, but the pain is still there. I have eliminated every type of food that can cause inflammation: lectins, high oxalates, nightshades, and all the other foods. Question: When I do a 14 hour fast, the pain is much worse. Do you have idea as to why fasting makes my pain worse? Should I just stick with a 12 hour fast even though I'm the kapha body type? I already take your full spectrum magnesium and MANY other supplements from equilibrium.Thank you so much! Lisa Noel: Hi Dr. Cabral,In recent years I don't feel any effects of caffeine. I can drink a lot or a little or none, and I don't notice any effects. Currently I enjoy a cup of coffee and a cup of green tea a day. I'm curious about why I don't feel the effects of caffeine. Could it be I'm a fast metabolizer? Or could it possibly be a a clue related to other symptoms related to my current health? In 2015 I was diagnosed with CIRS (AKA Alzheimer's Type 3 according to Dr. Dale Bredesen). I turned around many of my inflammatory markers and symptoms with diet and lifestyle and mold avoidance. I'm curious b/c I heard you mention this low or no reaction to caffeine in one of your Alzheimer's podcasts. I have a few remaining symptoms, and I'm hoping your trainings and protocols can help me clear them all up. I'm so energized and uplifted by all that you do and share. Thank you for helping "tough nut, odd duck" cases like me!!! (Currently in week 2 of 21 Day Detox and eagerly awaiting 3 test results - OAT, Stool & HTMA - and coaching call) Lissette: When can we start a Dr Cabral Healthy mind, body ,soul book reviews. Is would allow us to share knowledge of the different cookbooks with healthy recipes, scientific investigations that are done around food , medicines etc. Also when will you organize a retreat ,convention etc to meet just ideas Thank you Jessi: Hello! Love love your show. My husband and I were wondering that ever since we have been more concious eaters and cut out gluten/dairy etc, we are more "sensitive". Like even if we cheat a little, we blow up w gas, acne, get an array of bad side effects. Meanwhile our friends/siblings who are no where near as healthy in terms of what they eat, can seem to eat whatever they want! They are also a bit overweight but seem to have no sensitivies. Is there a correlation? Do you get more sensitive as you clean out your body? Is it that once you are more "clean" you feel the bad food more than before when you may have built up a resistance to it? It almost doesn't seem fair that us "healthy eaters" are the sensitive ones and the overweight and unhealthy friends say " seeee look at you, what is the point you are eating healthy and not your body can't handel anything" ----- frustrating...... Please clarify. Thank you! Anthony: What are your thoughts Dr. Cabral on mouth breathing and health advocates who say to use tape over their mouths while you sleep?"Breathing through our mouth versus our nose can contribute to poor sleep, dry mouth, high blood pressure, migraines and more. When we breathe through our nose, we’re able to activate our parasympathetic nervous system. This means we’re more calm, relaxed, and ready for bed.” Jay: Hello,My daughter and I both have celiac disease,my daughter is 5 and when she starts to get sick I’ve always given her Echinacea for the first 3 days,The herb causes immune stimulating effects,I’ve always seen results in her recovery when I give her Echinacea. Should I stop giving it to her,will it cause long term problems?Do you recommend anything else as a alternative.

1436: Sjogren's Syndrome, Children's Protocols, Inclusion-Body Myositis, Mammogram Safety, DEXA Scan (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Annette: Hello. I was recently told I have Sjogren's syndrome. I have low iron as well which is being treated by a hemotologist. I was told I have to start, and have for one day so far, meds. Plaquenil. I really would rather not do that, or at least only 1 pill per day instead of 2 because the rear side effect is retana / eye issues. I have not found a good site to explain in detail the foods I should be eating, they just say root vegetables, etc. I have found a couple of receipes, but you know of more, of a food plan I would appreciate it. Nicole: Hi There, Do you work with children, my son who is nearly 5 has major gut issues, SIBO I suspect from many antibiotics when he was a baby. He is getting fussier, and fussier and will barely eat anything. Im at a loss how to help him now. Do you have a program for kids that does not involve tablets.ThanksNicole Jennifer: My father was just diagnosed with IBM-Inclusion Body myositis. His muscles are already beginning to atrophy, he has lost grip in his hands and cannot use utensils or open doors, he has trouble swallowing, and has begun falling. His doctor simply told him to exercise and that was the only course of treatment. I am petrified by the progression of this disease and the toll it is taking on my father who I love greatly. I would appreciate any direction you could give me to assist him. Thank you! Genia: Hi Dr. Cabral. I'm a student of IHP and you are very much a part of my day with my IHP studies, videos of you teaching and podcasts. Thank you for being the master teacher that I highly respect and can relate to. You are a blessing to the world. I am so grateful to be your student. I had some health hiccups and doing my diligence with healing and feeling awesome. Because I have the brace gene and had a malignant cyst on my left ovary I am guided to screen always although I do not go for mammograms. I don't want to express a gene with extra radiation. I do ultra sounds, thermographs and MRIs, and lots of holistic self care. Please explain your views on mammograms for breast screening. With gratitude and love, Genia Daira: Hello Dr. Cabral,First and foremost, thank you for all that you do. Your podcast is my favorite and always my #1 listen at the beginning of the day. I am wondering how do you feel about the accuracy and importance of DEXA scans in terms of tracking body composition. I’m finding the lean mass fluctuations on a weekly basis, which I believe is primarily water weight. Correct me if I’m wrong. I’m trying to lose body fat (total 10lb) and while I’m eating healthy and working out 6 times a week I’m finding the body fat going up and lean mass going down. Should I stick with DEXA scans or really just pay attention on how I feel and look.

1433: Cortisol’s Direct Effect on Belly Fat Weight Gain (Factor 4) (WW)

Cortisol isn't just one of your main fight or flight hormones, it's also a major player when it comes to weight gain... The reason for this is that cortisol begins to systematically raise blood sugar under stress... Typically this would be a good thing if you needed it in an emergency, but the problem is most of our modern-day stress is more chronic than acute in nature...

1430: Food Re-Testing, 3 Digestion At-Home Labs, Hormonal Sleep Issues, Sugar & Prostate Problems, Healing Journey, Thyroid Removed (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Alex: Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for your work. The info and protocols you share have literally given me my life back. I listened to your podcast on lectins and need some clarity. The Organic Acids test confirmed some yeast and bacteria overgrowth, and I am currently on month two of the CBO protocol. I did not have any parasites, hpylori or clostridia. I do not want to eat poultry/meat for welfare standard issues, and seafood is not very appetizing to eat (except wild salmon). Thankfully I am not allergic to eggs, so this has been my main source of protein. I noticed the vegan proteins on the sensitive gut guide are mainly legumes. Hemp hearts are great but leave me very hungry in between meals. I have been trying lentils and chickpeas, but still have painful and explosive gas which goes away when I eliminate legumes. I did not have any IGG sensitivities to legumes, but have avoided them for years due to symptoms. Should I rerun the food sensitivity and eat legumes the day before the test? Also, once I complete the CBO protocol would it be possible to digest these vegan legumes? I heard from another source that it's because there is not the bacteria present to breakdown the legumes, but adding certain strains of bacteria can help with digestion. I am wondering if the CBO probiotics will repopulate the gut with these bacteria. Should I try again, is there anything I can do to add these vegan proteins back into my diet or am I just to avoid them for life and occasionally eat poultry/meat to keep protein intake at a decent level? Thanks again Chanel: Dear Dr. Cabral, I am a new listener and have loved every minute. I appreciate your analytical, but practical and caring approach. I also appreciate how you put yourself in the listener’s shoes. Every day, I try to learn more about the microbiome and natural health by reading, listening to podcasts, docuseries, etc. I am writing in to obtain your perspective and guidance. My family and I are on a health journey. We’ve made a lot of changes over the last 1 ½-2 years. I’ve suffered with some health conditions and have made many diet & lifestyle changes in order to improve my health. I still have some things to work on and my goal is to include as many natural/holistic methods as possible in order to regain my health and may write in about my health challenges at a later date. My husband is in the process of making changes too. Most importantly, our three daughters (ages 5, 8 and 12) have been the catalysts for our diet & lifestyle shifts. I am writing in about our girls, primarily my middle daughter. I apologize in advance for the length of this email but will try to condense everything. I’ve been able to look back in hindsight and realize some of the things that brought us to this point. In 2017-2018, we incorporated a lot of wheat in our diet. I thought that was the healthier thing to do so we traded white bread and pasta, etc. for wheat. This, along with an overall less than nutritiously dense diet, regular antibiotic prescriptions, hectic lifestyle, etc. more than likely, contributed to the decline of their gut and digestive health. Our children began to experience many health and digestive issues. Not long after this “wheat swap”, my oldest daughter began to randomly break out in hives. My youngest was diagnosed with GERD and then my middle was diagnosed with GERD along with other conditions. My middle daughter also experienced continuous reflux, stomach pain, bloating, nausea, headaches…you name it! These things heightened last spring; traditional medicine, doctors and specialists were not able to help us and may have set us back with acid blockers. This was a very hard time for our family and for me as a mother as I watched my children suffer. My middle daughter had a feeling of malaise, had low energy and was just not herself. She was also having moments of getting hot/flushed, with rapid heartbeat, headache, stomachache, dizziness, etc. We saw a naturopathic doctor in the spring 2019 and she was very helpful at the time. I also ordered a Diagnostic Solutions GI Map stool test from another practitioner for my middle daughter and the results showed high opportunistic bacteria, extremely low Sec IgA and low normal/”good” bacteria. We were put on a protocol and after treatment, things improved, but my younger two daughters take Miralax to prevent constipation. We removed gluten and dairy and embraced a whole-food, plant-based diet, incorporating organic, grass-fed & finished meats, etc. basically removed most candy & sugar, improved hydration and sleep, as well as slowed down our lifestyle. I thought that we were done with health issues, but my younger two daughters were diagnosed with lichen sclerosis (after many doctor & specialist visits) during the summer of 2019. We recently began seeing another holistic practitioner. She’s been helpful and we’ve incorporated supportive supplements to provide key nutrients that their bodies were missing, as well as some natural based prevention methods. This practitioner uses a Zyto energy scan. I’m skeptical of the scan and don’t fully understand it, but felt it had low risk and low cost so it was worth a try. My daughters and myself had the scan done and the results showed many different types of viruses (to include lyme and co-infections), bacteria, fungi, metals, parasites, microbes, mold, dysbiosis, etc. for all of us. However, my middle daughter is starting to experience some of the same symptoms as last spring, but to a lesser degree. I am very concerned to say the least. I feel that gut & digestive repair is a big piece to this puzzle. She’s had many other symptoms too, such as skin rashes, peeling and itching, an ulcer on her gum, and most recently, we’ve been referred to the children’s orthopedic department for unexplained ankle pain and knee pain that significantly impacts her mobility and to neurology for tingling on the bottom of her feet. I realize that this a lot of information, but I wanted to give you some background on my children. Another MRI was ordered, along with some labs. I’ve ordered your OAT for all of my girls, along with your stool, mold and toxicity tests for my middle daughter. We want to be through and comprehensive in our approach. We don’t want to return to this place of ill-health ever again. I know you can only give advice, but if this were you & your daughters, what would you do? We are desperate to rebalance the body and restore health to my child. We live in a rural community and there are not many practitioners that explore and practice natural-based medicine, along with comprehensive testing. Needless to say, our lives have been disrupted and we’re looking to find a place of peace. I realize you won’t be able to answer this immediately, but wanted your direct feedback.Concerning my middle daughter: *What else could/should we be evaluating or exploring-tests or labs? *What do we do in the meantime while we wait on test results? *Do some of these symptoms sound like an issue with the vagal nerve or gastroparesis? *What are your thoughts on the energy/Zyto Scan? *How would I know if we actually have all of the microbes, infections, bacteria and viruses, etc. reported from the energy scan and the best protocol to treat these things? Where do we start? Please help. Any guidance and/or direction is appreciated. Thank you for your time. ~Chanel Anthony: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m a big fan and have been listening to you since you were interviewed by the MindPump crew. My wife is in her mid-40’s. She normally has difficulty sleeping however it has gotten worse over the past 6 months. Typically, it lasts around a week and is right before she gets her period. We both believe it is hormonal , common, but not normal. I searched previous podcasts and didn’t find anything. Hoping you can shed some light on the possible etiologies and point is in the right direction. Keep up the great work and thank you for all of the knowledge that you share. Happy Holidays! Anthony Rose: Does too much sugar in older mans diet effect his prostrate levels?? Anonymous: Dr. Cabral, I am writing to let you know that I would love to have you record a follow up to podcast #1306:Mystery Illness Solved:Client Case Study (TWT). My story is similar to your complicated client in that I was diagnosed with a Myeloproliferative cancer in January 2018. I have primary myelofibrosis with a component of Polycythemia Vera (needing an occasional phlebotomy due to hematocrit >45). I also have a history of Hashimotos Thyroiditis (currently on watch and wait) and reflux diagnosed a few years before. I have never had any other health problems in my life andI have been fairly active and healthy. November 2017 when my abnormal bloodwork was found I started an Anti-inflammatory diet and was ultimately able to bring my TPO antibodies from 150 to 70 and heal my reflux. Unfortunately as I continued trying for the next year to heal myself I was not able to improve my blood work with the myelofibrosis. In November 2018 I began working with a Functional Medicine practitioner and he found that I had high levels of mycotoxins, mercury, gut dysbiosis, and parasites. For the next year we worked to resolve and eradicate everything we found with the necessary protocols. I have been dry brushing, juicing, sauna sessions, coffee enemas, DCD, intermittent fasting, weekly 24 hour fast, supplementing, and on a anti-inflammatory diet. I even enrolled in IHP level 1 and 2 in January 2019 in order to further my education. I was trained in conventional medicine as a Physician Assistant and now I feel I could never practice the same way again due to what I have learned in experiencing this health journey. I feel better than I ever have in the past 20 years, the problem is, is that the Myelofibrosis continues to progress and we are at a point where my oncologist is suggesting I need to start on low dose chemotherapy. SO....I would love to hear what you found with your client and how you approached it and your results. I am so thankful for finding you and your wonderful community. Your positive demeanor and messages inspires me in my journey. Thank you for all you do. Rose: Hi, I had my thyroid removed over 25 years ago {goiter growth} I"m on thyroid med.

1429: Parasite Drugs, Detox Sweet Success, Histamine Reducer, Eye Supplement, Tocotrienols, MS Improvements (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Simon: Hi Stephen. Thanks so much for the amazing service you provide to us all! I discovered you a couple of months ago and have been binge-listening and reading you book ever since. My wife and I have blastocystis and my wife also has dientaboeba. Whilst I am doing the parasite protocol and others, my wife is doing two courses of Paromomycin (as she has a limited amount of time and wants the most effective result). Putting aside the question of whether she is making the right decision (I would prefer she avoided antibiotics), I am hoping to add to minimise the negative effects whilst maxamizing the effectiveness of her treatment. I was wondering: a) whether the a biofilm disruptor would assist with treating blasto with antibiotics, and if so should she take before or during treatment? b) would the CBO protocol approach to probiotics be appropriate after antibiotics? I.e populate with saccharomyces boulardii before/during/one month after; then acidophilus bifidus; then a broad spectrum? Note she wont do the CBO protocol as we will be trying for a baby shortly after the antibiotics. I am also feeding us a diet rich in antiparasitics (clove, cinnamon, garlic, pumpkin seeds) and have suggested she do the 7-14 day detox before treatment. I'd love your thoughts on the above and any related issues. Thanks so much and ayubowan! Cheryl: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am on week 2 day 3 of your 21 detox. I have lost 12 pounds to date- simply amazing!!! I waited too long between meals (4 hours). 2 times I noticed a sweet taste in my teeth just before my meal. Once I eat it goes away. What is the reason for the sweet taste??? Just note my brain fog melted away, I have had a surge of energy since week one day 3. So I have been very active not excercising but cleaning and moving-I surpassed my 10k steps on the detox!!!!. I am looking forward to taking your courses and my future lab tests. Much gratitude on my journey towards wellness.Cheryl Ryan: Hello Dr. Cabral, thanks for taking the time to answer questions! I have listened to many of your podcasts regarding histamines. To keep things short, I just wanted to know the difference between taking a supplement like Histpro and a supplement containing diamine oxidase? I realize rebalancing the gut, removing any overgrowth, etc is working more towards figuring out the root cause. But my question is for relief in the short term while you are healing. I realize the Histpro has multiple good componenets like quercetin, vitamin C, etc. Just wanted to know what would be stronger or more beneficial in short term, of course assuming you are eating a lower histamine diet and the whole lifestyle approach. Thanks, Ryan Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral! After 23 years of wearing contacts, I'm going in for Lasik in January. It took me a long time to come to this decision, but now the technology is amazing and we have an exceptional doctor here in So Cal. Prior to the procedure, they have you take an eye supplement as well as a fish oil. I asked the amounts of DHA/EPA/Omega 3's required and the reply was that their supplement has "DHA Omega-3 at least 800mg and total Omega-3’s 2000mg." It looks like EN's fish oil surpasses that requirement with a total of 2.6g of total Omegas. Do you have an eye supplement that you would recommend with the lutein and zeaxanthin? Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral, Did you catch Ben Greenfields interview of Dr. Tan and his research on Vitamin E? He claims that tocopherols are toxic and that tocotrienols are the form of Vitamin E that is most beneficial? It was a very interesting podcast and I'm Curious your thoughts on this. Thank you! Maurice: Hello Dr. Cabral, I'm 29 and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis approximately one year ago. I decided to decline conventional treatment after being inspired by my brother Kevin, who is also an IHP 1&2. Since, I've conducted quite some research and have nearly perfected my diet, consisting of very low amount of saturated fat and processed foods, a regular Omega 3 intake, and mainly plant based meals (except for one weekly cheat meal). I work out regularly, do the sauna, and get my daily D3. I listen to your podcast regularly and find your advice very beneficial! I'm currently on the 7-Day Detox and am doing the CBO protocol right after Thanksgiving. I do plan on having the labs done, BUT the way my bank account is set up...Overall I feel good, but am deathly scared to relapse again and the thought of deteriorating. Do you have any additional lifestyle/diet suggestions? Also, is Iherrmitte's Sign (the brief, intense tingling sensations shooting down my spine when I tilt my head) reversible? Lastly, I recently heard of the angioplasty aka liberation therapy for the Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) treatment, which has been shown to provide drastic improvements to MS patients. What is your knowledge and take on it?Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and your continuous inspiration! Very respectfully, Maurice   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1429 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1423: Bariatric Surgery, Detox Trial & Error, Nerve Impingement, Pinworms, Dizzy Spells, Silicone Baking Mats (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Jamie: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for all you do! I would like to ask you about how to be healthy after bariatric surgery. I had the gastric sleeve on March 1st 2019 and found your podcast later that same month. Had I found you earlier I likely would NOT have had the surgery. However, I believe things happen for a reason so maybe this is my path. Now, my question is I can't eat as much at one serving and so I get hungry faster/need more meals throughout the day and I am also worried I'm not getting enough nutrition. I am starting the 21 detox then I will go into the CBO protocol and finally heal & seal. I have been drinking the DNS smoothie every morning for about 4 months. What advice can you give me & others like me to be very healthy after bariatric surgery. Thanks! Sahsa: Hello Dr. Cabral, thank you for the wisdom you share with the community everyday. I know that I need to start detoxes, but there is something in the daily nutritional support shakes that is exacerbating headaches. I’ve tried it on 2 separate occasions 4 months apart, and both times my headaches began. It makes me nervous to use it or any of the detox pills. I’m able to use some of your other products like the balanced zinc and sinus support without any issues. How would you suggest doing a detox without the shakes or the detox capsules? Thanks for all you do. Laura: I am a healthy, active 31 year old female recently diagnosed with a schwannoma or neurofibroma tumor, 3cm big, under my right collar bone near my brachial plexus, likely nerve C6 or C7. Surgery to have it removed is Dec 2. I’ve had shoulder/arm pain in certain yoga postures for the past year and could never figure out where it was coming from until a failed lymph node biopsy pointed the doctors in the right direction. For the past year, I’ve easily tolerated the minimal nerve pain, but ever since the biopsy a month ago, I’ve been in moderate pain and haven’t been able to do yoga. I’m very worried about permanent nerve damage from this - since they aggressively poked a nerve that they thought was a lymph node. Is that possible? Is there anything you can recommend that will help? Seeing as how you will likely see this after my Dec 2 surgery, do you have any tips on recovery from nerve surgery? Not being able to do yoga (I practice Bikram yoga daily) brings my anxiety and depression back in full swing. Thank you for all you do!! Nicole: Hello, I have a question I didn’t want to ask on the Facebook group as my daughter would be so horrified if anyone knew. So I have a 15 year old daughter who for most of her life has really struggled with pinworms . We can seem to get a handle on them. We use the combantrin and do the second and even have done third doses. They seem to come back. Yes we have done all the things, washing, nails short, washed bedding everyday even for a week. Clean room top to bottom.. all the things.What can we do for her? I don’t love putting all this medication into her . Please keep in mind asking her to eat super clean or zero sugar is prob not going to happen, again she’s a teen . But any ideas ??? Thank you Nicole Rachaell: The past 8 months or so I’ve been getting dizzy for what seems like only seconds at a time but it comes and goes all day long. It feels like everything stops and I’m going to pass out then it passes until the next time. My dr thinks it’s anxiety and isn’t concerned since I’ve never actually passed out. I’m only 28, female, and want to find a solution to this because it’s extremely hard to go about my day feeling like this. Where do I even start? Shae: Are silicone baking mats safe? I have been using Unbleached parchment paper but want to cut down on trash. I also don’t want to go back to cooking on foil or plain metal baking sheets.

1422: Skin Bronzer, Stomach Noises, Mystery Skin Rash, HCL Challenge, Chronic Back Pain, Rash on Anus (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  James: Hi Dr. Cabral I wondered if there was any way you recommend to tan the skin naturally!? Unfortunately I come from a country (UK) where it is very very rarely sunny so its not really possible to get this from the sun. Possibly even some diet tips to improve glowingness (probably not a word I know) of the skin? Any tips much appreciated, thank you :) James B: Hi doc I wonder if you could break down stomach noises that I used to hear all the time from my own stomach, and that I always hear from other peoples. What I've found is that when i am eating healthy foods that I can digest properly I almost never get any noises, as soon as I eat or drink a food i cannot tolerate very well, i hear noises from my stomach, these are like gurgling noises. Is it that the foods cannot be digested properly and are fermenting in my gut, which causes something to be released and that's the noise we hear? (just riffing here). In any case, why do some foods not make noise but other foods do, and if we hear noises coming from our bellies can we assume anything, such as: "this food is not agreeing with me" OR "i have possibly aten too much today" etc. Be keen to know your thoughts. Thank you so much mentor Cabral, James Cara: Hi, I'm one of your IHP students having completed Level 1 and working on Level 2. I have a friend who has had a tremendous amount of mystery pain and rashes over 2 months. - She has a 3 year old born via emergency cesarean - DHEA was 900 before 2nd pregnancy; amenorrhea for 3 years, history of over exercising, but stopped to get pregnant with 2nd child - Healthy pregnancy, but right before delivery got hand foot and mouth virus - Emergency cesarean right after HFM virus - Nursing - 1 month postpartum; sinus congestion, sore throat, severe joint pain, couldn't lift arms, pain was worse in the mornings and evenings, MD ran bloodwork and showed EBV and thought she was having mono. - Started to get better, started running again and then got rash on legs, very swollen ankles, MD now says its HSP and may be what caused the 2 month long illness. The rash is so bad some spots are open wounds and the MD wants her on heavy dose steroids for a week - At the beginning of all of this I recommended; Dr Cabral Foundation Level 2, plus folate (nursing), Vitamin D (at least 4,000 IUs, extra Vitamin C, yoga, no running, epsom salt baths, meditation. -She is open to running labs; recommended OAT, FST, Stool test, however she cannot do any detox protocols - I looked into HSP and it looks like its a form of vasculitis and that appears to be autoimmune based to me - She eats all organic, well-sourced meats/fish, very fit- Rash continued to get worse especially if she "over did" anything and she decided to take the steroids, knowing its'a "bandaid" but she was literally crawling around on her hands and knees to take care of her toddler and baby. This is obviously a complex case because she's a nursing mom and will probably nurse until the baby is 2-3 years. Thank you for your additional insight in this case! (Dr Cabral Detox group and IHP groups didn't really want to touch on this case... I can see why). Erin: Hi Dr. Cabral, Is there a reliable test to measure your level of stomach acid, other than doing a supplemental HCL challenge? I suspect that I have very low stomach acid, but HCL supplementation is contraindicated for me. I tried searching through previous podcasts and couldn't find one that discussed a test for low stomach acid (perhaps I overlooked it?). I take digestive enzymes to give my digestion a boost, but I think improving stomach acid is the key to a lot of my issues. I am beyond grateful to you for your tireless work and dedication in getting out the message of true health and healing! Christine: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 43 yr old woman dealing with some chronic pain that I find concerning. Some background: growing up I had chronic back pain on and off until my mid 30's, temporarily helped with chiropractic adjustments. I then did a food sensitivity test and removed those foods that triggered inflammation and sealed my gut with your protocol. I had no pain at all for 2.5 yrs when in May 2019 I went for a 3 mi run and have had horrible pain ever since in my back, neck and right shoulder. I have seen a chiropractor and used the Mackenzie method (back extension and neck retraction) to help alleviate pain, only for it to come back one month later. I have very healthy habits including a clean diet, active lifestyle, etc. In March of 2019 my brother was diagnosed with MS (SAD diet, poor lifestyle choices, etc I'm sure helped triggered this) and my sister has had back issues too. I know that I have poor detoxication pathways and do things to rectify this, my omegas are 3:1 and any inflammatory markers have come back with in functional medicine range. I also did an OATS test in the spring and found that I have klebsiella (as well as HPV), and high cortisol. We talk about how low-grade chronic inflammation can have devastating effects on the body and this leaves me worried. I am trying to find the source-is it mechanical, virus/bacteria acting up, or bit of both? I'm in constant pain, grouchy and feel fatigued most of the time even though I go to bed by 9pm or earlier ( I do wake 1-2x during night). I have worked very hard on lowering my cortisol levels and although I havent retested, feel that it is under control. It may help to know that I am almost done breastfeeding my baby, which i'm sure contributes to neck/back pain, but I can't help but think something else is going on since I have cut out any running/strength training and only walk, yoga/pilates and recovery work since May. Any advice is deeply appreciated. Thank you!! Sarah: Hey Dr. Cabral! Thank you SO MUCH for all that you do! You're like a soul brother to me and I'm so glad I've found you. I've run the big 5 done, found out I had candida among many other imbalances in my body. I've done the CBO protocol now as well as supplementation and other protocols based on lab results and recommendations. I still have however, a rash of some kind around my anus that is pink and pretty itchy and I can't figure out why, what it is, or what's causing it. I've already invested a lot into lab tests so I'd rather not retest again if possible (I'm wondering if this is still a sign of candida?), but I don't know so I'm wondering if you have any idea on what this might be and/or what to do about it? I've tried putting melaleuca, lavender, sesame oil, coconut oil, etc. on it and nothing seems to help. The only time I've noticed it gets a little better is when I do your FM detox, but even then it does not go away. I used to have a spot similar to this at the back of my neck/scalp that is gone now after the work I've done detoxing, cleaning my diet and rebalancing my body, but this seems to be the last thing I cannot figure out how to get rid of. I'd love to try getting pregnant soon but I want to make sure I've done what I can and need to do in my own body before I go into that next season of life. And one last thing! I developed what appears to be a cyst on my inner thigh over a year ago and it has not gone away. Do you have any recommendations on what to do for eliminating cysts?

1418: The Pros & Cons of Protein Consumption (TWT)

In my opinion debates about whether protein requirements should be .8g/kg vs 1g/kg are not really moving this industry forward... What we need to be talking about is general needs for the majority of people and where they should be sourcing their protein... And, another topic that should be brought up more often is the chronic protein deficiency (or surplus) in a diet versus a once and awhile occurrence... This is why on today’s #CabralConcept 1418 I’d like to share with you an unbiased look at the pros and cons of protein as well as how much you really need - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1418 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1416: How to Lose Weight, Liposomal Vitamin C, Vagina Thrush, Male Circumcision, Diabetes Insipidus, Vitamin & Minerals for Muscle (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Naama: Hi, I am interested in getting help with losing weight, overall energy and reaching my goals! Much appreciated, Naama Marie: Hello! Do you believe that liposomal vitamin c is more beneficial than „regular“ vit c? If so, do you have any brand recommendations? Greetings from the UK! Jordan: Hi dr Cabral thank you for your podcasts I love listening to them! I wanted to ask you a question that no doctor has been able to help me with. I have had vagina thrush for longer than I can remember. The symptoms come and go same with being positive on any tests. I even tested positive for candida glabrata at one point. I did take quite a lot of antibiotics at one point for strep throat when I was around 17. I am now 22 and have taken every possible candida prescription out there for this. I haven’t taken any antibiotics for over a year now and refuse to go to a M.D. as they just seem to prescribe more items that won’t work. I came off birth control 2 years ago and live a pretty healthy lifestyle. I don’t take any other medication and am generally healthy otherwise- although I did have a thyroid that was slightly slow according to my naturopathic doctor. Last time we checked he did say my numbers were better due to eating and taking vitamins to balance that out. We have not been able to solve my thrush condition tho and nothing has been able to solve it. Please please please let me know if you have any suggestions, natural remedies, or what to buy! Thank you so much in advance! Darren:Hey Dr. Cabral. How is the family doing? Hope they're okay. I'm having a debate amongst a group of friends about male circumcision. We all know female circumcision is an atrocity unfortunately carried out in some parts of the world and I was also saying that cutting a male's foreskin hampers him later in in life. This is a friendly debate but I said I'll ask someone who I believe would give a honest view without taking sides. That's you. Are there pros & cons to male circumcision? If you had a male child would you recommend it or would let them make the decision on their own later? Please keep up good work. Gayle: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do, YOU are very appreciated by so many! I am a new listener to your podcast and I have learned a great deal from you already. My husband and I both purchased your 7-day detox but have not yet completed it. We plan to do this together to add to our success. My question is regarding Diabletes Insipidus. I was diagnosed with this in 2002 after having my 5th child and take an ADH (Desmopressin Acetate) to manage it. I am a long distance runner, yoga instructor and love to lift weights in the gym. Would having this ailment have anything to do with also having Raynauds? Any advice for "growing out of" DI and/or how to control Raynauds when I work out(especially in the winter) would be greatly appreciated. Warmly, Gayle James B: Hi Dr Cabral, can you please tell me (and thousands of others) what the "lesser known" vitamins and minerals that are essential for muscle growth. I am currently on a weight gain plan trying to build muscle and I know I can eat all the protein and calories in the world but if i'm not getting the correct minerals and nutrients i'm sure it will be much harder to build muscle? I have heard the B complex vitamins are really important to build muscle (I have purchased a bottle from you before!) And I have also heard green veggies are really important for muscle (not sure why). But i'm just wondering what else I should be taking into account other than just protein, carbs & calories when trying to build muscle. Thanks again..

Check out today's questions:  Noel: Hi Dr. Cabral I'd love to hear more about Mimosa Pudica seed. After using it for over 10 months, my girth has decreased. Wow. I think it's binding or "scrubbing" biofilm or "mucoid plagues" like crazy. Would love to hear more of your thoughts about this as a part of detox. fyi - I've order a few tests from Equilibrium Nutrition and will begin your 21 Day Detox very soon. I've also just begun the IHP certification program. I'm feeling so energized by all that you offer and share. Erick: I have been trying to remedy my vertical nail ridges, mainly on my left hand, mainly on my ring and pinky finger, with deep ridges. I have been doing the DCD protocols for over a year now and they still haven't lessened. I have done CBO, heavy metal, intestinal cleanse, at least 6 months of healthy gut support, parasite cleanse and eat clean. I also take addl B vitamins, D, Magnesium, C, and probiotic-all Equilibrium products. As you can tell, I am a fan of your information and all has worked very well for me. Just trying to get to the bottom of why the body isn't absorbing nutrients. I am a vata-pitta body type. Thank you for having the mindset you do on all! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I haven't heard you talk much about Men's prostate. As a younger man, in my 30's, I'm a bit concerned with the health of my prostate. Ever since I can remember it has taken me a longer than normal to begin urinating when I'm at the toilet while others seem to be able just fire away the second they unzip their pants. Also, it oftentimes feels like I don't entirely empty my bladder and I find myself getting up in the middle of the night to pee pretty regularly. I'm a pretty healthy individual. I'm on your daily foundational protocol and regularly do moderate exercise. I've had Chlamydia in the past which I took care of through antibiotics but still to this day I can sometimes feel a slight burning sensation when I urinate. It's very hard for me to feel fully rested and rejuvenated as I feel like my immune system is always a bit compromised. I also believe that I may have ringworm or some type of fungal infection of the skin which also has caused me to experience itchy anus. Overall I just feel like something in my body isn't right. Either mold, candida, virus, or some type of low grade infection that I can't seem to get rid of. I've done the parasite cleanse and 21 day detox. What would you recommend for next steps in getting well? Thank you so much for all that you do. Hollie: Hi Dr Stephen Cabral , Thanks for taking the time to answer this question. I really love the podcasts. I’m 37 , have had one child 4 years ago , I’ve never had weight issues , even after having my daughter I bounced back within 6 months . In the last year the weight has been piling on - particularly around my mid section. I eat a plant based diet / exercise as often as I can - walking at least 10,000 steps a day , plus a bit of interval training when I can. My daughter and I are an active family. I’ve noticed cellulite on the front of my legs , shocked as I’ve never had cellulite before. My skin appears to have lost elasticity on my legs. My hormones seem fine - from a recent blood test , my cycle regular now after having my daughter . Sleep isn’t great , digestive issues like bloating occurs daily. I’m heavy now than when I was 9 months pregnant. I’ve been under enormous stress for almost 2 years , but things have gotten better recently.Any insight would be helpful - thank you Hollie John: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm interested in becoming a functional medicine doctor, but I'm having a tough time deciding between naturopathic and osteopathic schools. Could you speak about the pros and cons of both, and which do you recommend to people looking to open a functional medicine practice? James: Hey Dr Cabral! Just wanted to get your opinion on something I was thinking about today. It seems clear to me that ancient civilisations, traditions and medicines were in many ways far more advanced than we are today, and without all the wonderful technology we have. Relating it back to health - hippocrates once said all disease begins in the gut, something we seem to be discovering only now. In Ayurveda, mint is known to be cooling to the body, and I recently heard that in some studies, peppermint tricked the nerves of the liver into thinking it was cold and induced hepatothermic abilities. I’m just curious to hear your opinion on why and how they knew so much, so long ago. Particularly with your expertise in Ayurveda - was this stuff just trial and error? I find it hard to understand how they had all this knowledge without the testing capabilities we have today. I guess that’s a million $ question hey, I just wondered your opinion as someone I highly respect!

1412: How to Turn Up Your Metabolism In 5 Steps (Thermogenesis) (WW)

We have some big plans to unveil this coming January, but before we do I'd like to teach you 5 factors that you've most likely never been told when it comes to losing weight and burning body fat...

1409: Radio-Active Iodine, Autism Gut Health Connection, Show Notes Complaint, Citric Acid, Cystic Fibrosis, Foods When Feeling Sick, Abdominal Discomfort With Eating (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Ryan: Whats up Dr. Cabral, I really think what you are sharing with the world is great. I have been listening to so many of your podcasts recently, and am so grateful I found them. I will just ask my question outright. Are there, or could there potentially be options for patients who received Radio-Active Iodine therapy to reverse the damage done to the thyroid? Somewhat similar to you, by the time I was in my late teens I was completely burning out and after a long bout of Mono at 18 I was later diagnosed with Graves Disease (not until I was 23, but I am certain this was the case after I was diagnosed with EBV). Anyhow I had done so much guess work and boughten so many supplements to help my heath all through my late teens and early twenties. Unfortunately I did not understand what it meant to truly live a healthy holistic lifestyle till about the age 25 to 26 right after I got the radiation done. Ever since I have been fully entrenched in functional medicine/holistic learning, but also struggling with unlearning all the harmful lifestyle choices that lead to me developing Graves. I am awaiting my Hair and mineral test results, and will be doing some of the other labs in the upcoming month or so, but am waiting to see if any promotions are run in a few weeks for the holidays. Are there supplements I can take for possible scarring and tissue damage done? Could it make any sense to see stem cell availability to rejuvenate the gland? I am on 1 grain of Nature Throid but my Naturopath seems to think it is fine to only test my total T4 and T3, which are low bottom range. My hands are still cold, I have low energy, and I do not feel adequate. I have always done my own testing even before having this Naturopath, because no doctors would test what I found to be beneficial through my own research. Conventional Medicine had me on Levothyroxine early on which was not helpful, and through my own testing I found my RT3 to always be extremely elevated. My Naturopath seems to think that this is because my albumin is elevated, with low globulin, and elevated creatinine. Basically having left kidney atrophy she thinks I just have to manage it through lifestyle forever, and deal with the problem. It is frustrating because I have order the 4 Iron labs, ZRT 4 point saliva testing, both Vitamin D tests, B12, and many other beneficial labs, yet she only looks at lab ranges and no optimality. I have been reading non stop any and all book recommendations I get from people like you or Paul Chek for instance. I am currently reading Dr. Jensons guide to Better Bowel Care. And it is awesome information, I cannot wait to run my organic acids test. I am just sick of every doctor I have not being open or willing to constant learning themselves. Or telling me they wont run this or that, or that you need to come in and pay $100 to get your refill of Nature throid and talk about how its going. Finding the ability to test these root causal problems through functional medicine lab testing will I believe change my life. I think about my health non stop, and have since I was young. Cannot wait to find more out about my health, and I am thankful for all that I have been forced to learn over the years, as I believe it will shape my future. I am looking forward to eventually becoming an IHP! Thanks! Kerry: Hi Dr Cabral, Thanks for answering my question today. I have learnt so much from your podcast- thank you for your commitment with sharing your knowledge. I have recently completed your IHP lvl 1 & 2 - the course was amazing! I’m using the information to heal those in my community and also my family with amazing results.I have a child on the Autism spectrum we have done so much work with her over the past 3 years to heal her sensitive system and can proudly say she’s developing along side her peers and thriving in life- but still has some healing to do. We have done your parasite protocol which was amazing and saw one of her last autisms - persistent stimming, disappear, almost over night. We then started your Children’s CBO protocol and almost from the beginning saw massive flare ups of autistic behaviours such as OCD, fears, stimming, rigidity, poor communication, toe walking and anxiety - to the level they were 12 months ago, prior to a massive amount of healing. While I know that this type of flair up can happen when healing, and I’m ok with it and will soldier on with the protocol, I’d really like to know why this happens. I love to hear what you have to say on this matter as I plan on specialising in this area of health - helping families and children with Autism. I feel having a justification for the flairs will help parents persist with healing protocols and understanding that this is “normal”. Regression can be really difficult for a parent to deal with especially when they have had some relief of symptoms - I have spent the day trolling the internet for some answers but have come up with nothing so I hope you might be able to shed some light on this. Many many thanks! Alan: Why do you call the Show Notes and Resources section - "Show notes" as there are none? Joanna: Hi Dr. Cabral what i am concerning about is Daily Fruit & Vegetable Blend contains a lot of berries and citric acid - Is this ok? DB:  Can you recommend tips or diet and lifestyle for a teenager dealing with cystic fibrosis. Van City: When feeling sick on occasion what do you recommend eating I don't eat as much wheat anymore but my go to is toast? Joanna: Hi dr cabral I have been having this ongoing upper left abdominal discomfort for almost 1 year now. Where the stomach is and now radiates to the upper left back. I have had multiple tests, endoscopy was all clear, abdominal ultrasound did not show any gallstones, blood test early this year to check pancreatic enzymes was normal, i take hcl and enzymes with every meal. It gets worse after a meal, sometimes when stress or after exercise but mainly after meals. I just can't pin point what it is. Iv tried everything. When im relaxed or only eating shakes for eg i dont get any feeling. For eg when i did the 21 day detox the 2 fasting days i had no upper sensation but the day i introduced food it came back and was worse like a stitch in the upper left stomach. Its a tough one do you have any insight if this could possibly be pancreatitis as the pain radiates to the upper left back? How could you naturally treat pancreatitisMany thanks joanna   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1409 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1408: Spicy Food Reflux, Fluid Retention Cyst, RBE Audio, Cortisol & Weight Training, Blood Sugar Fluctuations, Skin Itching (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Darcy: I love eating very spicy foods on a daily basis and drinking lemon water often, and for a cheat meal once in awhile I will have pizza or pasta with marinara sauce. The other day I think this way of eating collectively led to my issue of waking up at 3am with severe chest pain. Every deep breath or movement seemed to make it worse. My wife has had acid reflux many times before and coached me through it I had an antacid and a glass of cows milk(which so many people say help so much and it worked for me) I ended up sleeping in almost a sitting up positing because laying down intensified the pain. I am 37 and it was the first time I've had this what can I do to make this my last? Why does tomato sauce affect so many people negatively especially as we age such as myself this never happened in my youth and I eat so clean now. Raw tomatoes eaten or put in smoothies cause no issue but the sauce from tomatoes cause reflux or heartburn please explain why. It took about 3 says to fully recover. Thanks for all you do. Neeks: Hey Dr. Cabral. I have a small bump at my upper inner lip. I believe it was caused via an allergic reaction to a lipstick brand or something. I visited my ENT and he diagnosed it as a retention cyst. He recommends surgery to remove it. He says sometimes one can bite it off but mine is in an awkward position to do so. It doesn't hurt or anything but I would like it to go away. Is there any means aside surgery for someone to get rid of it? My brother says to try high doses vitamin C and NAC but he's no doctor and I would like to receive advice from someone who's qualified like yourself. As always keep up great work. Noel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Do you have any plans to offer The Rain Barrel Effect via audio??? I just listened to episode 560 about speed reading, in which you also mention auditory learning and audio books. Thank you for sharing your tips. AND for mentioning audio learning. I started consuming audio books when I had debilitating brain fog from chronic biotoxin exposure and chronic stress. And I hear so many people with chronic illness say they have trouble concentrating and retaining healing information via text. Now that I'm way better, I STILL love audio books! I must be an auditory learner. Plus it's so convenient to listen to books via audio while walking, driving or doing household chores. Thank you for so many informative podcasts, and for empowering people to empower people! An audio version of your book would be an amazing addition. : ) Jimmy: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for everything you do. After getting tested, I have discovered that I have very high cortisol levels which is leading to anxiety. After doing some research and also experience in the fitness industry I came to the conclusion that it was best to stop weight training and exercising until I get my Cortisol levels back in a normal range. Do you think this was the right move or do you think I can still train? If not, when can I start training again in your opinion? Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral I would love to know more about diabetes. My dad has type 2 and gets tired often what causes people with diabetes to be tired? His blood sugars do fluctuate sometimes they are good other times they are a little high. His diet isnt too bad no sweets or sugars, he gets out and walks. Could you please refer me to any other podcasts you have and if you can just explain briefly what causes the fluctuations in blood suagrs and why they can get tired and even urinate more frequently especially at night? Thankyou so much joanna Nalini: Hi Dr Cabral, live your podcast listen to it all night when I can’t sleep due to my skin itching all night Iv done your detox and big 5 test I had to go see my doctor because my leg had a bump that everyone thought turned into staph he looked at all my skin with excema everywhere and suggested I do Bio Photonic therapy do you know anything about it.

1402: Healthy Gut Alternative, Adding More Healthy Calories, Candida & Mold Program, Tattoo Detoxing, Ankylosing Spondylitis (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Bec: Hi Dr Cabral,Firstly I just want to say thank you for absolutely everything that you do to help others. You are amazing and I love your positive and high vibe approach to health and nutrition! My question is… I’ve already done the CBO and am about to repeat it in order to fully remove the candida and bacteria. I tried the heal and seal for 2 months but unfortunately was getting a histamine reaction and so had to stop. Is there another product I can take to help seal up the gut wall? I’m taking 5g of l glutamine and am already on extra zinc. I was hoping there might be another product I could use that would have all the necessary ingredients rather than trying to source them all separately. Thank you so much Bec: Hi again Dr C, Just have another question. As I mentioned I’m going to do the CBO again shortly (doing parasite cleanse first). I’m very underweight and know from my OATS test (I did the big 5 tests) that I have high oxalates. I also seem to react to lectins and high FODMAP foods- so a very leaky gut all round! I’m worried that by following the sensitive gut diet strictly for 3 weeks, then it is likely I will lose even more weight. I tried upping my starchy carbs last time but unfortunately that caused a lot more bloating. Do you have any advice? Thank you so much Gina: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am extremely grateful for all of the knowledge you share and you have given me the tools to ensure that my family lives much healthier lives. I know that you have spoken about Lyme before and won't have time to explain all of it in a podcast, but I am desperate for help. I would love to have some kind of protocol to follow for not only getting rid of any co-infections, but truly healing from the aftermath. You said that healing the aftermath can be done in as little as a few months time, and this information would be invaluable to me as I am barely functioning and react to most foods and supplements. I believe I have already gotten rid of any co-infections since viruses, bacteria, and pathogens don't show up on my GI Effects stool test. I was also exposed to mold and am wondering which order to detox in. Mold test was pretty low (ochratoxin A 18.09 ng/g creatinine / Myocophenolic Acid 7.59 / Citrinin Rya: Hi Dr Cabral! I just listened to podcast 436. One of the topics in this podcast is the dangers of tattoo ink. I have a large color tattoo on my arm, and ever since I got it done 2.5 years ago, my health has drastically declined. I have done a heavy metals test, which showed only slightly heightened lead, and nothing else noteworthy. I would LOVE to do the Dr Cabral Detox, but my head feels like it is blowing up any time I ingest stevia leaf, even the organic, pure kind. What alternatives can I use and what else can I do? I read that tattoo ink can also dye our lymph nodes. How can I detox as much of it out of my body, detox my lymph nodes and everything else that needs to be done? I tried bentonite clay masks on the tattoo for months with no results. I have been using milk thistle, dandelion root, l-glutamine, and NAC for a few years and my health seems to get worse every month. I also go to the sauna, exercise, and don’t eat any processed foods.Thank you for your support and knowledge that you share! Mike: Dr. Cabral. I first want to thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Your generosity is boundless. Have you ever covered ankylosing spondylitis in a podcast? I searched, but did not have any luck. My 25 year son has been "diagnosed" with it. I would love to hear your viewpoint on this dis-ease. What tests would you recommend to discover the possible underlying causes. Is there a specific dietary restrictions or supplements that would be beneficial? Thank you so much! You are THE MAN!

1401: Mystery Conception, Stevia-Free, Detox & Missing Cycle, Glutamine Gut Dosage, IgG Food Intolerances (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Nicolle: Hi Dr C, Thanks so much for all you do. You truly have changed my life! I’m looking to have a bit of a mystery solved. I’ve spent since April of this year healing my body, first with the 3 week detox followed by the CBO protocol as I tested positive for candida. During the last week of the CBO I found out I was pregnant! Wonderful news, but very surprising. I’ve been off contraception for 2 years managing my cycle naturally through tracking, very successfully. I have a relatively normal cycle give or take a day or 2. Now the mystery- my conception date happened on the last day of my period. Normally the a safe zone I would have thought? I know the CBO can throw out your cycle but can it throw your cycle out that much? Clearly all of my healing turned me into a fertility machine which I feel very grateful for but would love to know how. :D Thanks again for all you do!! Nicolle Emma: Hey there Dr Cabral, First of all, let me just say that I am extremely grateful for your podcasts and everything you do. The gift of health knowledge that you have given to all of us is priceless for not only ourselves, but our children and loved ones. A few questions: 1) What do you think of the product Advanced TRS (toxin removal system) to remove heavy metals and of zeolites in general? TRS is a nanoparticle zeolite that crosses the BBB. Any safety concerns for adults and children? I have read some regarding aluminum content and I believe that since metals are estrogenic, using the full dose for 6 months caused me to have estrogen dominance. I took a heavy metals test after that and there was nothing concerning reported. Do I even need zeolites anymore in this case? I was using them to help heal my many chronic illnesses and with biofilms. Since I react to egg (I saw that Florafilm has an ingredient derived from egg), I wasn’t sure if I would be able to tolerate that. 2) My kids LOVE your new bars. Thank you SO MUCH for not putting stevia in them! I react severely to stevia which makes many “health products” unavailable to me. Would you consider making more stevia-free products such as the daily shake? I would also love to see some stevia free electrolyte powder! Thank you for everything that you do. Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral I have a question regarding breast health.This year so far iv done a 21 day detox the cbo, then after i went and did a 9 day panchakarma detox, since then my hormones went a little out of balance and lost my period for 1 month and is since always a bit late but starting to regulate. However my question is these changes my body is going through with these protocols has shifted my hormones, i did test for high testosterone high eostrogen and low prog earlier in the year, but my recent breast ultrasound show fibroadenomas and cyst.What is your advice for breast health and how to prevent breast cancer? What causes fibroadenomas Plus when rebounding is it best to wear a bra or not? Thankyou so much regards joanna Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for all the knowledge you provide. I see that there is only 4g of L- Glutamine in the Healthy Gut Support. Can I ask why you decided on 4g when the majority of studies that concluded a positive result from its supplementation were using above 25g on average? Lauren: Hi, recently found out i'm sensitive to salicylates and I know I have many other auto immune conditions. How do you heal your self with healthy nutritional foods, plant based supplements and herbs if you cant tolerate them. IGE is 780 and high Eosinophils. I was having your shake everyday but I cant even have this.... currently tying to treat via therapy. being allergic to healthy food!

1395: Chronic "Idiopathic" Urticaria, Weekly vs. Binge Drinking, Orthostatic Hypotension, Smart Device EMFs, My Future BioMetric Wearable Technology (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Jacqueline: My 8 year old daughter is struggling with some mast cell issues. We’ve been to multiple Drs and can’t get a solid diagnosis. They diagnosed her with hyperpermeable skin and then another Dr diagnosed her with chronic idiopathic urticaria. Right now I have her on Zyrtec which has helped her to be able to eat more foods without getting itchy and also helped with her constipation. The weird symptom is if she spends a lot of time outside in the sun the next time she eats she will get itchy dry arms. It doesn’t last too long, I just put anti itch cream on and that seems to help. I’m trying to heal her but every functional test I’ve done on her, stool, OAT, and mold, have come up with issues, Bacterial overgrowth, Candida overgrowth, c diff, h pylori, blastocysts, mold toxicity, and food sensitivities. She is so sensitive to almost every supplement we’ve tried. How do I help her heal if she is so reactive? Also, how do I keep the faith that she will be better one day when we keep having set backs? Dar: Now I don't drink alcohol very often but when I do it's usually a special ocassion like a wedding or birthday party every couple of months where we probably tend to have 5 or more drinks in the night. I guess that's considered binge drinking. How had is it if it's only a few times a year. Rya: Hi there Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all that you do. After suffering for decades, I found your podcasts and have a new sense of hope.I am unfortunately, worse than ever after seeing an Functional Doctor and naturopath and I’m scared.I am a 34 year old woman... Long story short, I was on PPIs for 20 years (finally weaned this year!) 2 years ago I developed extreme vertigo, vestibular neuronitis, daily migraines and head pressure, ear itchiness, leakage, and fullness, Orthostatic hypotension, Histamine intolerance, and more. I figured out it was gluten and dairy giving me the symptoms and promptly gave them up. ALL symptoms vanished! 6 months later, the symptoms returned despite being off of gluten and dairy and I lost oral tolerance to new foods each month until I was down to only tolerating a few. I have had a GI Effects test, heavy metals, Viome, food intolerances, mold, etc. Everything comes back with very little clues and all of my doctors are at a loss. No parasites, no signs of leaky gut (confirmed by both an FMD & naturopath), no metal toxicity... some IgG intolerances (way smaller list than what I actually tolerate)... I do apparently have adrenal insufficiency and estrogen dominance, but I don’t tolerate any adrenal supplements and so far DIM / bioidentical progesterone isn’t helping.I live on a very humid & moldy island that I can’t leave for over a year, but my symptoms started WELL BEFORE we moved here and my mold test showed almost nothing. I also don’t tolerate glutathione! I only eat 100% clean, organic, non processed local food. I never “cheat” because even a tiny bit sends me into the symptom frenzy. I’ve been healing my gut and supporting my detox organs for over a year. I cook and freeze food immediately to lower histamine. DAO / anti histamine supplements don’t help much. The only exercise I tolerate now is light weights and yoga. I go to the sauna 5 days a week and meditate daily. I’m currently doing a modified version of the CBO protocol because I can’t tolerate many of the ingredients. I support my vagus nerve. Please help! I am 98 lbs and I have no idea what to do. I’ve turned from an ambitious, active, social person into a sickly, broke hermit and I fear I will never recover! I’ve spend countless time, money, and effort healing and my debilitating symptoms continue to worsen. FMDs etc just keep putting me on “standard protocols” that work for 99% of people, but I’m the 1% that needs something very customized. The worst part is that I still have NO IDEA what is causing all of these symptoms after I eat basically anything at all. All I know is that it’s connected to food and I get every single one of those (head centered) symptoms after eating. I actually don’t have GI symptoms except GERD.Side note: my younger sister developed celiacs around the same time and has very similar symptoms when consuming gluten. My mother also developed similar symptoms after going on a cruise and starting perimenopause. It must be partly epigenetics? Thank you SO MUCH!! Penelope: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all you do - I listen to your show every day and you have become my go-to for any health and lifestyle related questions. I have one of the first Apple watches created (the one without a direct cellular connecting, but has wifi and Bluetooth) and Ive become nervous about wearing it for fear that it is harming me in some way. Was hoping you could help me determine whether this fear holds weight or not. I would love to wear the watch for all the tracking benefits. Can you speak to the pros and cons of wearing these smart watch devices? Thank you so much and have a great day!

1394: Herbs to Raise Estrogen, Atherosclerosis, Blair Upper Cervical Treatment, Stomach Problems, Rapid Weight Loss (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Barbara: Dear Dr.Cabral, I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis at 26 after losing my period at the age of 14 or 15 due to an eating disorder. I broke my hip last year, and have been trying to get my period ever since, in hopes of gaining back some bone density. Is there any other way I can strength my bones if I don't get my menses back? I am on red clover extract and full spectrum cbd, for I heard it helps bone remodeling, but I am afraid it is not enough. Any advice? Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've got a question regarding my mom this time. She has been recently diagnosed with atherosclerosis (they think in part it is caused by some left breast radiation she had 20+ years ago as part of her breast cancer treatment plan). I did a search for this but can't find any past podcasts by you on this topic. Anyways, her doc wants to put her on a low dose statin. I've been reading about a plant based diet and how it can slow or possibly even reverse this diagnosis. I'd love to gather your thoughts on this topic and see how to guide her to learn the root cause of this....perhaps it is the radiation! Her cholesterol levels are "within range" but apparently they aren't all that great for a woman her age (62). Thanks in advance for everything and I look forward to hearing you discuss this dis-ease! Anthony: What are your thoughts on Blair Upper Cervical practice? I've read that people whose atlas (C1) is shifted, their nervous sysem is compromised because their brain stem and vital arteries are impaired. Once their atlas is in adjustment, rapid health recoveries can happen. I saw Dr Thomas Forest for 3D cone beam scans and took many measurements and tests recently. Some very fascinating stories here! I was dubious until I heard the stories and met other individuals who've experienced rapid shifts in health. Jan: Dear Dr. Cabral and Team, I will make it short: I like your approach, your podcast, you work! I have a question for you as expert in the field of ketogenic dieting and health issues since the doctors I am consulting have a very traditional approach. - I am male, was always lean, 40 years from Germany- I have gastritis for long time already most likely coming from bile flowing back into the stomach (Gastroscopies always showed little "red" stomach lining, rarely some erosions). Reason unkown. Was on PPIs for a long time. - I changed my diet to ketogenic which I am on now for 2 years. I stopped PPIs and also tried to add HCI (and sometimes ox bile) if i had a protein and fat rich meal since I sometimes feel sick if I ate too much fat and/or protein in one meal. Feel much better in regards to digestion now. The new gastroscopy shows no improvement eventually even a worsening of the problem. - the doctor now says: "stop eating high fat (-diet) with lots of salt / sodium / potassium etc" and switch back to low fat food and many small meals and use PPIs again (probably forever). Now I am very sad and lost: On the one hand I feel much better being in ketosis in regards to general health and feeling on the other hand my stomach problems does not seem to change or even gets worse. Any idea or advice would be appreciated! Best Regards Jan Tom: Hi, I am 19 years old and over the last 3 months I’ve been so busy and have found it hard to eat. I rarely feel hungry anymore and have lost about 15-20 pounds. I rarely have daily bowel movements anymore and appear very thin now. I used to love going to the gym and I hate it now. I would love to hear your suggestions/ opinion to rebalance and gain some weight back healthy. Thank you dr. Cabral.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1394 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1389: What to Do When No One Understands (MM)

Living in a world where everyone does as instructed, swallows the same pills, and recites the same information can be challenging... Especially if you’re one of the few “outliers” that tends to question social norms, and some of the things your teachers, doctors, or the media preach to you...

1388: Knee Crunching, Healthy Vacation Spots, Monolaurin, Swollen Eyes, Iridology Efficacy, Bee Propolis (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Tatyana: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 37 years old female and use to be very athletic (doing bootcamp almost daily). I recently had to quit because I noticed a crunching noise when I would walk up the stairs. I do have some knee pain as well. Xrays showed nothing but I was told I may have caused a mild case of arthritis due to the intense work outs. I am devastated! I am too young to have arthritis, I am now taking up yoga. Can I get rid of arthritis? Is yoga okay? Any recommendations to get rid of the pain? I do not want to start taking medications. Help! Thank you DB: Once a year we try to go for a vacation as a family to places like Mexico, Las vegas, etc, and I feel like that could be money better spent elsewhere as I feel like those trips take a toll on our health after all the terrible eating and drinking. My question is can you recommend a vacation spot where you can have fun and be healthy ? I looked up some health retreats and they were much too expensive. Thanks. Appreciate all you do. Chris: Hi dr Cabral, I was wondering your thoughts on monolaurin as a microbial and antiviral solution? I have Klebsiella, HPV and Candida Albican and would like to know if that is a good recommendation? If so, at what dosage, length of protocol and any particular brand? Thank you for all of your good work, you are appreciated more than you’ll ever know. Adrianne: Dr. Cabral, I have a mystery that google can't seem to answer. When I cry, it causes me to suffer for 24-48 hours. This has always been the case since I was a young child. The symptoms are as follows: Immediate symptoms: *Puffy swollen eyelids that appear to be filled with liquid and sagging over my eyes *The bags under my eyes also completely fill up with liquid *my sinuses swell, and I get the sniffles Delayed and long-lasting symptoms: *Headache in the bones of my face and the sides of my head *Tension in my neck and shoulders *Severe brain fog, can hardly drive or think straight *My eyes become sensitive to sunlight and screens *Even after my sinuses clear up, the eye-lids and bags under my eyes are still bulging *The next day feels like a hangover but without the alcohol, and it lasts ALL day. Even after I let go, forgive, and make peace with what triggered the crying, my spirit recovers but my body does not. The crying basically disfigures my face and I don't know how to get the fluid out. I don't know how to make the pain in my head stop.Some remedies I use with limited success are: Hot Shower Natural Sinus Buster nasal spray tea bags on my eyes Coffee compress on my face Cold packs on my face Jumping Jacks I have to do all these things in order to clean myself up enough to got to work. When I get there everyone asks what happened to your face? It's so embarrassing and I would like to be able to enjoy a good cleansing cry without the repercussions. Do you have some ideas as to what could cause such a longlasting reaction to crying? Thank you for the dedication you have to educating regular people like myself. Annette: Hi Dr. Cabral! kudos for all of your great work and wonderful information you share with your audience every single day. I have done the hair tissue mineral analysis and OAT tests and am on my way to getting better, thank you for that! My question today is more of a petition and see if you would kindly dedicate an episode to iridology. During my first visit to a naturopathic doctor, he read my iris and I was in shock as to how much information he had access to from my past and family conditions I hadn't even told him about, just by looking at my eyes! Ever since that first visit I have followed his indications and have noticed my green eyes turn even greener (I am a vegan and eat a lot of greens as well as drink liquid chlorophyll on his advice), he even says that if I keep doing his indications I'll live to 109, lol. Joke aside, doing a search I found episode 597 in which you briefly said you believe in it, but I am intrigued to hear an episode dedicated to this practice which I find fascinating, only if you agree. Thank you in advance for your consideration and many blessings to you and your team. Erin: Hi Dr. Cabral. I've read that bee propolis has anti fungal, antibacterial and antiflammatory properties and can be a great natural remedy for the common cold. Would love to hear your thoughts on bee propolis.

1387: Health Certification, Hormone Balancing, Documentary Review, Estrogenic Foods, Nursing Supplements (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Kelly: Hello Cabral Team,Hope all is well with you ! I'm Just wondering if you take on any mentors or accept students into to integrative learning programs who are not practitioners. Listening to your podcast are fuelling my fire/passion for proactive and preventative health. I love all the facets of being human, mind body and soul but also the interactions within every living thing on this earth. I am often overwhelmed on where to begin, being pulled into many directions because well everything is so diverse. In hopes to create a solid foundation, with someone whose ethos I can jive with and have come to respect in great awww. I thought maybe I could start here, put it out there and see if you offer any training or mentorships programs…. or maybe point out a good place to dig my first step into the ground and gain some traction to transform my inner passion into out outside world.Keep on being brilliant and humble! your open mindedness, depth of knowledge and emotional intelligence and that simple love of sharing with others is something special... One of a GREAT kind in my eyes... But ehhh that only my perspective.Shine On Kelly Genia: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am a level 1 student and enjoying your IHP Study Program immensely. You are so thorough. Love the details. Spending a lot of time on Module 4 because the whole hormone, female, nervous system - HORMONES - all speaks to me. I had adrenal fatigue and thank gd did the work to feel better via great nutrition and pacing myself with a yoga practice - kundalini that gave me a calm ritual to practice while I was gaining my strength back. I have so much to share but fast forward... in 2017 I went forty obgyn pap smear and found a cyst on left ovary.... treatments, surgery and I'm BRCA 1. Very onto of my game and doing the work. Thank gd over and over again i'm feeling great and moving on... teach yoga, healing and now have more info to share and teach. I want to do the detox and tests. I am writing here because I need more specific guidance. I don't think your IHP team on FB are comfortable to answer my questions. Waiting for support to work with. Should I do the Thyroid Adrenal Hormone test and 21 day detox? I eat pretty clean and juice and smoothie daily. Love your protocols. I do need more guidance, though to keep clean and toxic free and maintain my health. Thank you so much. I love being your student. Forever grateful to you, your vision and team of shining lights. xo Darrel: Hey Dr Cabral. I watched the docu film "The Game Changers" recently and it espoused the virtues of a plant based vegan diet over a meat based one. I know you went over most of this several times on your podcast and I'm most grateful for that. However, I don't know if there was an agenda but they were pretty convincing in their arguments that a vegan lifestyle has no drawbacks in strength, endurance and actually boosts sexual performance (erections) & testosterone levels. Can you say if all this is true and if it's recommended for a vata body type to go vegan plant based? Is it true the Meat industry paid athletes, film industry and doctors to advertize their products and tried to present their own dubious research that meat is best and plant based diet is weaker? As always keep up great work. Christian: Good evening Doctor Cabral. "The Game Chanhers" documentary just debuted on Netflix and it refuted a lot of myths I believed. But you're my go-to source to confirm these things. Growing up we heard soy increases estrogen levels in men but they claim soy merely has phytoestrogens, compounds that look like estrogens but can actually have the opposite effect, blocking some of our bodies' estrogen receptors and preventing real dietary sources of estrogen from taking hold. They went on saying the foods that contain estrogen are really chicken, eggs, dairy which can have a significant impact on our hormone level. Is there any truth to all this or is there some very convincing agenda? For example could I do soy protein shakes now without worrying about testosterone? Sorry for long question. Thanks for everything, great show! Malinda: I just had my second baby, she’s 7 months now and I’m 37 years old. I noticed in the past month my skin has gotten very dry and scaly. I was anemic while I was pregnant and took iron supplements, which I currently am taking now. Also my thyroid was just shy of the lowest normal range, which my midwife said wasn’t low enough to be a concern. I take Vit C, Zinc, Calm magnesium, liquid Folvic minerals, chlorella and algae DHA . My iron supplement (NaturesPlus Hema-Plex, Sustained Release - 85 mg Elemental Iron, 30 Vegetarian Tablets) has many other vitamins and minerals as well as several B- Vitamins. Would one of your B-Complex supplements help my dry skin?I adding the DHA and extra flax and chia seeds in my diet, still dry skin. I added liquid Iodine that helped a little but still dry. My question is which of your supplements can I get right now that would help support dry skin for someone who’s body is stressed out from the demands of nursing 24/7 and interrupted sleep? Also, would a LAB test be recommend, which one would be the best as doing all of them is a bit too much for my wallet? Are you still running a lab sale? PS. I’m a regular podcast listener and if its in your scope of knowledge it would be great to include any variations to your answers and topics discussed for Pregnant and Breastfeeding mamas since our bodies and hormones are different then non pregnant women and I'll be breastfeeding for the next year and a half, that's a lot of podcast!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1387 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1381 Menstrual Cycle Fasting, Fibrocystic Breasts, Child CBD Dosage, Inflammation in Sinuses, CRP Testing (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Cindy: I’m hoping to begin easing into a 24-hour fast/ one day reset diet once or twice a month. I’ve been doing the 12-hour overnight fasting for a couple weeks now and feeling calmer, but I’m hoping to add in extra autophagy benefit from an at least monthly 24 hour fast/one day reset. I’m a nursing mom so can’t do the quarterly detox yet. I’m wondering if Dr. Cabral has recommendations on the timing of the 24-hour fast as it relates to a woman’s fertility cycle? No artificial hormones here, and my cycles are pretty regular with a shorter luteal phase since I’m still returning to full fertility after my last pregnancy.I think I remember Dr. Cabral saying that progesterone is a precursor to cortisol, which I think I have chronically high levels of (working on it!). But I’ve also seen research showing that fasting can interrupt the hormones that tip off follicle stimulation preceding ovulation, so the estrogen-dominant part of the cycle might not be best either. I’ve ordered the OAT and HTMA and will complete those this week probably.Any help would be appreciated. Sonja: Hi Dr. Cabral,First of all I'd like to thank you for being a great teacher, for founding the IHP Institute, and sharing your knowledge! I have come very far health wise, I'm very grateful for my health, but I'm stuck with one issue, being fibrocystic breasts.I'll list the labs and protocols I've done, to give an overview what I've tried yet. I ran the big 5 labs in November 2018, completed CBO protocol, gut rebuilding protocol, and parasite protocol (right now doing the advanced parasite protocol). Have done 21 day detox, 2x 7 day detox and 14 day detox in 2019. Mostly dairy and gluten free (right now following the sensitive gut guide), have worked on stress reduction, and feeling great stress wise. Weaned off AED and progesterone cream, and my current supplement regimen is: CBD, DNS, DFVB, vitamin C, B- Complex, Omega 3, Magnesium, collagen, probiotics, vitamin D, astaxanthin, estrogen balance and adrenal energy. Will soon wean down the adrenal energy, since cortisol levels were nearly perfect, when I ran a TAH in August. Thyroid function was great, progesterone was perfect, however estrogen was high. I have used DIM, evening primrose oil, Chasteberry, and vitamin E for hormone balance before, over an extended period of time, but weaned the supplements down about 6-10 months ago.When I started the estrogen balance again, I was quite sure the FB would subside as well, but it got worse. Fibrocystic and painful, almost immediately after ovulation, and during the entire luteal phase. I wondered, if molecular iodine could be the answer to this issue. However discussing in IHP, I got the recommendation to rather try a systemic enzyme, serrapeptase or nattokinase. We saw there's also research on it, but didn't find much regarding dosage. Have you tried any of these for this specific issue, and would you have some insight regarding timespan and dosage? Or would your recommendation be entirely different? Thank you so much! Nikki: Hi my name is Nikki and I have a 2 year old daughter who we are looking to get her started on CBD oil. I noticed that your site was sold out, I was wondering if it would be coming back or if it is still the situation that Dr. Cabral can not sell it at this time. I was also wondering if you provide proper dosing for CBD oil in kids. I would be interested in setting up a consult with Dr. Cabral to see my two year old, if that is possible. She is a child who is diagnosed with syndrome, she has been on a ventilator for the last year. She also has gut motility issues, seizures (which are controlled with meds) and low tone. Any help I can get would be so much appreciated.Thank You in advance, Nikki Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral,Thank you for all that you do. I finally found my North Star with health once I discovered the rain barrel effect.I’m 30 years old. I’ve been on L2 foundational protocol for a while. I’ve never done any FM lab tests but definitely suspect gut issues as I’ve dealt with constipation/IBS my entire life and grew up on bagel bites and fruit roll ups.Question: on my bloodwork I had elevated bilirubin. Doctor calls it Gilbert’s syndrome. Sometimes the whites of my eyes can be a bit yellow. I don’t want to be like Gilbert. Please help.Second question: I have a mild case of tinnitus. I used to play in bands a lot when I was younger and probably damaged my hearing pretty badly. I feel like I always want to pop my ears. Every time I make the yawning gesture I can hear the popping in my ears. I feel like I’m experiencing some hearing loss as well. Almost feels like inflammation in my sinuses or ear canals.I’m going to either test with the OAT/HTMA or just jump right into the cbo protocol.Any advice is much appreciated! Judy: Do you offer or plan to offer a C-reactive protein (CRP) with coaching? My medical provider doesn’t offer it.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1381 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1380: Fish Allergy, Longest Fast, NAC Timing, Liver Cleansing, Runny Nose at Night (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Dar: Used to have a ton of serious allergies as a kid outgrew them all almost except being allergic to salmon and tilapia. Also if I have too much dairy or wheat/gluten I get congested but I try to limit them these days.Do you know why you would be allergic to one type of fish but not another? I can have all the spicy tuna rolls I want and I fell good. It has always seemed odd to me if I ever have salmon my eyes start to swell a little and my throat is itchy and possibly swells a little as well. Thanks for all your advice appreciate all of it! Stay blessed. D: What has been your longest dry and/or wet fast?I personally have tried two day juice and water fasts and felt great after, however I tried a 36 hour dry fast once and three days later suffered from bells palsy luckily was able to recover 100 percent pretty quickly thankfully. Some people have permanent issues. After that experience I tell everyone I can to never dry fast, I got caught up into the hype after the juice and water fasts something that is easy to do in this say and age after watching a youtube video or reading a blog about how great something is for someone else. Erin: I have read that you should take supplemental NAC away from meals because the cysteine competes with other proteins for uptake and is thus not as well absorbed when taken with food. However, taking NAC without food causes acid reflux for me. I typically do not get acid reflux otherwise. Is there anything specific about NAC that would cause acid reflux? Is it true that NAC should be taken away from foods for best effect? Laura: Hi, I have hashimotos, chronic ebv, anemia, allergies, dairy, egg and gluten intolerances, etc. I’ve been getting acupuncture lately and they keep saying I have a liver deficiency. I want to do your liver cleanse. Is that the same thing as the 7 day detox? I also listen and love the podcast. Thanks! Laura Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral I wake up nearly night about 4am with sneezing and running nose/sinues not sure why this is. I dont go to sleep with a runny nose.I do have high histamines but havent had any high histamine foods recently. The oat test did show high oxalates and salicylates not sure if this is contributing? Any thoughts? My oat also did not show any mold markers but i have had mold where i live.

1376: Use the M.E.N.D. Program for Reversing Dis-ease (TWT)

I came across some research just about 2 years ago that simplified a lot of how we view aging & dis-ease... It very succinctly went through a 25-point checklist on what you need to be looking at and adding in or removing from your healthy lifestyle... And, this program actually has clinical research data behind it to prove the results of reversing dis-eases like Alzheimer's and other health-related dis-eases...

1374: CBC Bloodwork, Alpha Galactose Reaction, Stomach Cramping, GERD Absorption Issues, Enzyme Timing, Winter Smoothies, Low Gastrin Levels, Snack Before Cardio? (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Carolyn: I have two questions. First, what test do you suggest to evaluate cell function (at the cellular level)? And secondly, what protocol do you suggest for an otherwise healthy 23 year old male bitten by the lone star tick and now ‘allergic’ to all hooved animal products due to alpha galactose reaction. Thank you very much for your dedication to everyone’s wellness. We listeners are all grateful. Gabe: Hi Dr. Cabral, for the past couple of weeks I’ve been having major midday stomaching cramping. I ran a hair tissue test and found out I was deficient in pepsin and Enterokinase. I was wondering if you think that could be the cause of my discomfort and if you had any suggestions to balance the issue. Jennifer: Hi, eating disorder for 15 years, bulimia specifically, working on recovery last couple years. Question is regarding GERD because of the stomach acid from throwing up. I have to take medicine everyday to control it, I’m concerned about it messing up my ability to absorb vitamins/minerals. I’ve tried not taking it for a couple days, and it’s too painful. Thoughts? Tim: How long do digestive enzymes last? The bottle says to take them 15 minutes before, but what if a meal lasts longer than the duration of its effects in the stomach? Should I take 1 mid-meal as well? Kim: I started following Dr. Cabrals protocol in late summer. I am not one to mind having a fruit smoothie for breakfast w/ frozen fruits and vegetable. However, now /w the changing of the seasons; my body just does not want a cold smoothie for breakfast! It craves hot things like oatmeal, rice porridge, squashes, potatoes, etc. Do you have any options for breakfast or how to make the DNS into something more geared towards the changing of the seasons? Right now, I am having to just mix mine in a shaker bottle and sip it throughout the day or down it as a mid afternoon snack. Melissa: Hi Dr Cabral, I am about to start your CBO protocol to work on my SIBO. My specialist has tested me on the cause of my SIBO and as a result I have discovered I have gastroparesis and low gastrin levels. My concern is after I complete the protocol my SIBO could come back! I was unable to get any support from my specialist about what to do to remain SIBO free. They have only suggested to take a drug (for life) to pump my stomach faster and I was told 'there is nothing you can do for gastrin'. I have discovered your treatments and advice and am hopeful you would have some natural advice to help stay SIBO free. Thank you advance for any assistance you can give! Melissa Marie: Hi Doc! I have some specific questions regarding fasted weight training. On weekends I have gotten into the habit of training in the morning and am quite enjoying fasted workouts. My goals are fat loss esp around the midsection (would not classify myself as generally overweight however) and muscle gain in the lower body (glutes, legs). My fasted weekend training consists of weightlifting for the lower body followed by 20 min of light cardio. I am not hungry during these workouts but would like your feedback on whether I am sabotaging my results this way. Should I eat before training? Should I have a quick snack before the cardio (or not do the cardio at all that day?) Or is it fine to just eat after?

1373: Nose Bleeds, Ear Ringing, Collagen Types, SIBO, Male Ejaculation, Lump in Throat, Titrate (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Margie: Hey Dr Cabral Thank you so much for all the work you do to educate us on wellness! I have learned so much from you. My son gets nose bleeds. Without bumping husband nose or any kind of trauma his nose will start bleeding. It usually stops after some pressure in around 5 minutes or so. There are times it will bleed a few times a day.There are times that it won’t bleed for a month and then it will bleed weekly.Is there anything I can do to support his body and little nose to heal and come back to balance. Thanks in advance. Aracely: i would like more information , about a ringing problem in my ears , they give me rx for inflammation , and I would like to know more in lose weight. Bev: I purchase your collagen. I was wondering if it has ALL types of collagen included in it? I was told that a good collagen has to have all types included. I am sure it probably does but I am just making sure Thanks Bev Gemma: Dear Dr Cabral, i have 2 interlinked questions. First, i have very high methane SIBO but hydrogen was in range. My baseline was 24 (too high to even start) but after 3hrs my test showed 68 whichi believe is pretty high. I have been taking atrantil but it hasnt done much so far. The test indicated that its likely LIBO rather than SIBO. Is there a difference in treatments for these conditions? I was thinking to do the Cabral detox for the LIBO but also the CBO program but I am confused in what order to do them. Also, with christmas coming it - it will be hard to stick to a 3 month program if its rigid - does the CBO program allow for an occasional alcoholic drink and a number of christmas dinners (various events leading up to christmas which all seem to involve food)? Troy: What are your thoughts on male ejaculation in relation to vitality energy and health? I've heard that retention of semen (seed) is important, but when I restrict myself I tend to beat myself up over it when it's obviously hard to be celibate.Would love to hear your thoughts! Please include this in IHP :) Heather: Hi Dr. Cabral,Thank you so much for the work you do. I recently completed your 21-day detox and feel great! I am continuing on my journey to health and excited about where it will take me. I am writing on behalf of a friend of mine who has struggled with alcoholism and now has cirrhosis of the liver. I’m not sure how far along it is. In addition to that, she now has a lump in her throat and the doctors are not sure what it is although they have suggested it may be cancer.Is there any guidance you can provide from a functional medicine perspective regarding treating cirrhosis of the liver? Is there any way to reverse the damage that is already done. Thank you!! Rani: Hi Dr. Steven Cabral, I have a quick question for you. I have tried the intestinal cleanse after completing the CBO protocol and got some abdominal pain on day two that lead to diaherra. Of course, I stopped the protocol. Then I tried it later this summer and got the abdominal pain within a day. My husband ended up doing the protocol and had no problem. Why do you think I have a reaction? And is there an alternative method to do an intestinal cleanse, since this one doesn't work for me? I know the coffee enemia only cleanses a small part of our colon. Is this maybe my only option for now? Thank you, fellow IHP student.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1373 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1367: Wim Hof Breathing, Vitamin A Toxicity, Gut Problems Solution, Hip Impingement, Clean Water at Work, Auto-Immune Thyroid Testing, Bone Broth Bowel Issues (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Toniy: What are your thoughts on Wim Hof breathing? Wim Hof climbed Mt. Everet in shorts, ran marathons in Arctic Cricles / Sahara Desert, and did 2 hours in a full ice bath. The craziest part is, he's not an anomaly he's trained people around the world to do the same with some simple breathwork. While I know you don't like spiking sympathetic nervous system for vata prone people, there are reports of autoimmune conditions being suppressed or reversed through breath work and controlling their RESPONSE to cold exposure and their nervous system. If I'm vata, but can be super present with ice baths and the like, can Wim Hof Breathing & Cold be good for me? Allison: What are your thoughts on those who've had exposure to vitamin A toxicity from synthetic retinoids i.e. Accutane, and are now possibly more susceptible to vitamin A causing issues in the future? Some propose to NEVER take vitamin A again from any supplement. Lisbeth: Hi. We're from Norway. We have a daughter 23 years who has been ill from SIBO and Candida for three years. We are totally worn out. We have tried so many things. We don't know the real root cause. My daughter has sibo test which shows 13 in methane. Zero in hydrogen. She has chronic candida in the vagina. White blister in mouth. Chronic constipation. Extreme bloating after every meal. Joint pain and headache. she also has to pee all the time. Fatigue. Panic attack. We have tried lowfoodmap, lowcarb diet, fecal transplant, soilbased probiotic etc. Nothing helps And I'm so exhausted from trying to understand all this diet I read on the internet. They are difficult to follow because all are in English and many thing is explained so different from the Norwegian food / recipe / wight We have thousands of supplements here at home. We spent $ 30,000 last 3 years trying to treat our daughters gut. How can you help us? My greatest wish in the world had been to come somewhere where someone showed us how to eat. How to cook. What supplements to take. And I wish we could stay in a place / hospital for a month until we had learned what we needed. As a mother, I am totally worn out. Best regards Lisbeth  Casey: What are some ways to heal hip impingement? Taylor: Hi Dr Cabral! I was wondering if you ever reviewed any on the go water filters such as Gopro or life straw ? I am constantly refilling my water bottle at work with our water filter here; however, I don't think it is very good and often I have to remind our facilities to get maintenance on it. I am worried I am drinking contaminated water. I recently got OAT test results back and it shows alot of mold markers elevated as well as bacteria/cdif so I am trying to investigate if I am being exposed to any mold whether home/work. I also did HTMA and had some elevated plastic so I really want to avoid plastic water bottles. If you could let me know if you had any recommendations to make sure work water is safe that would be great!! Thanks Dave: Hello, love your podcast. My niece has thyroid problems and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Traditional medicine is not working. Can you recommend any lab tests to get started with your program? Thank You! Dave Karen: Hiya, Thank you for all that you do. I have recently started my son on the Children's CBO protocol. I have noticed on the days where I made a bone broth and added it to soups it affected his digestion. For example there would be floating oil on top of the water the next day, however his stools still sink, however they are sometimes more mustard in colour. It took me a while to realize this but it is definitely the bone broth. This is deeply concerning to me. My partner believes my son had this reaction because we rarely eat meat and even then, never meat fat and he is unaccustomed to digesting it.I rather, am worried it is something more sinister like issues with this bile and / or liver. Would you please be able to shed some light on issues digesting fat? Or once the candida is gone, will he be able to process fats better? I am unsure of the connection between candida and fats if there are any. Thank you so much for your response in advance. :)   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1367 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1366: Your Stomach Has Eyes, Evening Workout Repercussions, Sports Hernia Recovery, Eczema on Fingers, Lithium Orotate, Mixing CBO with Other Supplements (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Hindy: My name is Hindy and I am an avid follower of yours and listen to your podcasts weekly. Your podcasts provide me with a wealth of information, pertaining to one’s health and wellbeing. As such, I am always looking forward to your next podcast.I grew up in Brooklyn, New York and I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa as an early adolescent. Since February of 2015 I have been in and out of treatment weight restoring in treatment and upon return home relapsing and losing weight. Inpatient treatment provides medical and psychiatric stabilization, limits destructive behaviors and addresses any underlying issues that may be causing the eating disorder. Throughout the day, I participated in skill-based therapeutic groups aimed to replace my maladaptive behaviors. I processed my thoughts, feelings and any matters that were came up for me individually or as a community. Additionally, I met (individually) with a therapist three times a week, psychiatrist five times a week and dietitian twice a week.In nutrition, I was given a structured meal plan to abide by six times a day. I was taught the philosophy that “All foods fit.” I can eat what I want in as long as it’s in moderation. For instance, if I eat a cookie that’s ok as long as my entire intake for the days is not only cookies. I was also taught all foods are equal/your stomach doesn’t have eyes, so whether I eat an apple or a piece of cake my body will break it down the same way and it won’t know the difference. Yet, functional medicine demonstrates the healing power of food. Functional Medicine has informed me of the benefits of eating a non-processed whole foods diet and the consequences and diseases that arise when eating the standard American diet. All these messages from Eating Disorder Clinicians and Functional Medicine Practitioners have left me feeling confused and divided. Unfortunately, science is bias many of the times leaving me with no concrete evidence in who to trust. In addition, the diet industry is a 60-billion-dollar industry thriving by selling various messages to the population. As I navigate my recovery, I vacillate from side to side unsure whom to believe. I am plagued by the confusion of not knowing whom to listen too. The voices in my head inundate me with food messages relentlessly, sometime convincing me to believe E.D. clinicians and sometimes persuading me to trust F.M. practitioners. I know your podcast is not a direction but a platform for information about health. Nevertheless, I would like more insight on the outlook of eating disorders through a functional medicine perspective. Hindy Marie: Hi Dr Cabral! Thanks in advance for your consistently amazing advice!I am 26 years old and having lots of trouble with my sleep, and have noticed a correlation between going to the gym in the evening and sleeping badly. Unfortunately, due to my schedule I am only able to go between the hours of 5pm - approx 7pm and while I tend to fall asleep quite well (I am exhausted by always sleeping so badly), I wake up around 5am and cannot fall back asleep. It feels like even before this I did not get any true deep sleep and I will lie in bed feeling tired but wired. While my sleep isn't great on non-gym days, it is a lot better. Could you explain the biology behind this?It used to be even worse when I wasn't hydrating enough during my workout, which I have now adjusted. I have found that taking ashwaghanda has actually worsened the sleep issue surprisingly. I know magnesium helps with sleep, however I am a bit scared of taking it these days as even taking 240mg (glycinate or citrate) regularly causes symptoms such as headache, nausea and dizzyness, pale skin and diarrhea (could this be because I need to take more calcium along with it?!).Appreciate the advice on what I could do to help alleviate the issue! Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral,My husband and I love your show! I had surgery about 6 years ago to repair a sports hernia. It's never really felt the same since. I feel a tightness and sometimes strange/sharp pain down there after I do core work. My doctor never mentioned to me that I needed to do any physical therapy. What exercises and stretches would be the most important for me to regain strength in my abs/core. Are there any that I should avoid? Also, I'm hoping to get pregnant within the next year. Will this surgery create any issues as my stomach area expands over time during the pregnancy? I've had doctors tell me not to worry about that but was curious if you agree or had any additional thoughts on that. Really appreciate your insights. Melissa Jaimi: Hi there, Hoping you can help. I have suffered from eczema on my hands on and off for years. It has come back in the last 6 months since, predominately on my ring fingers and pinkies. I ran a food intolerance test with naturopath (hair sample) and a lot of foods came back as intolerances, such as chicken, avocado, capsicum, chilli, garlic, onion, pork, some dairy, lots of grains, mandarins, and more! So I cut all of those foods including gluten and dairy out for 3 months, but still experienced flare ups. I also got skin needling done a few months ago and got a histamine reaction on my face that lasted a couple of days. I also did magnesium hot and cold pools this week, and experienced what I think (from research) was cold urticaria. It only lasted an hour, but I had welts/hives all over my body. I have also been told that maybe I have low methylation, and I was put on zinc picolinate and methyl folate, but I am still suffering from this eczema. My question is - is there some kind of LAB I can run to get to the bottom of this, and work our what my issues are? These are my only health concerns as I feel pretty healthy otherwise! I am also wanting to purchase your 7 day detox too. Any kind of guidance would be appreciated. Thank you, Elise: Hi Dr Cabral, Firstly, thanks so much for all you do! I loved IHP Level 1 and am loving working through Level 2 now. I am so grateful to have the blueprint for vibrant health, and my own health gets better & better everyday in every way on your wellness plan. Quick question: thoughts on Lithium Orotate? Is it in any of the Equilibrium Nutrition products? The author of "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" sings its praises, says most people are deficient in it, that it used to be more prevalent in our foods and no longer is (soil deficiencies etc). Apparently it is powerful, safe and inexpensive. As someone on your wellness plan, I am interested in your thoughts on adding in a Lithium Orotate supplement. Thank you, Elise Erin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 34-year old female currently on an herbal antimicrobial CBO protocol (trying to combat bacterial and fungal overgrowth). I recently had bloodwork done by my general practitioner, and the results showed severe vitamin D and zinc deficiencies. Should I wait to complete the herbal antimicrobial CBO protocol before taking vitamin D and/or zinc supplements? In other words, will the herbal antimicrobials have any impact on the absorption of these supplements? Thanks for all of the great work you do!

1360: Frequent Morning Bowel Movements, Detox Support, Menopause & Libido, Why Am I Hungry, Naval Oil, Gilbert’s Syndrome Tips (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Keri: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm a newer listener and have really been appreciating the wisdom and information you share on your podcast. I'm hoping you'll be able to give insight into my now year long struggle with digestive issues. About a year ago, I started having multiple bowel movements each morning. Which sounds great, except that when I do have to go, it's urgent. Which means that I have developed anxiety to be anywhere there is not a bathroom in between 6 and 11 am (morning commutes anywhere are a nightmare!). When I go, it seems to be a complete bowel movement, but within 30-45 minutes, I'll have to go again. Initially, it was normal stools, then turned to diarrhea & also yellowish stools at times and also undigested food in stools. I have also had chronic mild & transient pain under my right rib----In fact, sometimes I notice the pain less, but will notice the entire right side of my body from shoulder to hip is cinched up. Functional medicine testing resulted in me doing an herbal protocol for SIBO, and taking loads of supplements for nutritional deficiencies---my largest being ALA, then B vitamins, Iron & Vitamin D. Calcium blood levels were a little elevated. The nutritional supplements have greatly helped with my energy, and SIBO levels are normal, but I am back to being housebound between 6 & 11 am, and sometimes later. I also often still have undigested food and small amounts of mucus in stools. GI doctor seemed to think I have gall/pancreas issues as I don't digest fats well, but pancreatic lipase level was only slightly low. He prescribed Questran for Bile Acid Diarrhea, which has done nothing and is hard to choke down and I'd rather use a natural approach. Dietary changes I have tried are AIP (which was okay, but I have trouble digesting fibers) GAPS which made me significantly worse and have a flare that almost led to an ER visit (I suspect because of the fats, and LOW FODMAP which leads to very mild improvements. Appreciate your guidance, whatever it may be--realizing you can not give medical advice. Even if it's just to tell me to order more tests or research a supplement, I'm grateful Lisa: Hi Stephen - I would love to get your thoughts on egg freezing apologises but it is rather urgent as I need to make a call to start the first week of October. I’m super sensitive to medication and wondering how my body would go with the hormones and general anesthetic? I’m currently completing Level 2 IHP and even had a reaction to the FM detox on Day 2 and not being able to stomach the shake. Really appreciate your guidance Many thanks Lisa Cindy: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do. I am a long time listener. :)I am a perimenopausal woman, 46 years old, with hypothyroidism for 25 years, but I only started feeling symptoms at around age 40 (also the time I lived in a moldy house!). I have had issues with hot flashes, on and off, since about 40 as well. For the past few months I have NOT had any hot flashes, while I am taking a dropper full of Chaste tree berry daily. I avoid gluten and cow dairy. Tested: gluten issue, both genetically & with food sensitivity. A lack of energy has been my main issue since 2016, but I am feeling more & more like my self, full of life. One issue though... my libido is so low. I want to have the same level as my husband, but I am lacking much in this area. I've been doing the "Fake it until you make it" for too long now. I want the same vitality that my husband has! I want it for him; I want it for me. But, I also want it naturally! Please tell me how. Best regards, Trying to keep up with XXXXX. Cindy: Hi Dr. Cabral, It's me again. :) I have practiced intermittent fasting (12 to 18 hours) for over a year. I completed several Cabral Detox Protocol and a 2 week Detox Protocol. Also, I have completed a Cabral CBO Protocol,just finished a Heavy Metal Detox and will be starting the Mold Detox Protocol today. About two weeks ago, I started drinking a smoothie with DNS daily (with 1 cup organic blueberries, 1/2 teaspoon ashwagandha, 8 oz. almond milk, and a scoop of ice). Then, about 5 hours I would eat a large salad with 1/2 avocado, olive oil, and nuts/seeds. About 5 hours later, I would eat a variety of things for dinner. After about 1 week, I started getting really hungry within a couple hours after eating. So then I added in about a cup of nuts (a few of each: brazil, macadamias, walnut, pecan, & almond) to breakfast. I seem to crave protein. I cannot seem to get enough. I have not gained weight, but I really should start focusing on losing 20 pounds of fat! I believe you, "A healthy body will NOT store fat."So, I have focused on health, and I am healthier because of it....but I am not a lean machine, as my husband. Please tell me, why am I so hungry? Even when I eat well, I feel soooooo hungry! It is easier NOT to eat because once I get over one hungry feeling, the hard part is over. With eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner... I really am hungry in between meals.... yet I am eating quality meals. This morning I woke up, a few minutes before my alarm, to a growling stomach! Should I start monitoring my blood sugar? Trying to understand, Hungry Cindy Yvonne: Hi Dr. Cabral! Is putting oils in your navel a real Ayurvedic remedy or is this just a social media craze? I’ve never heard you mention it. BTW, I loved the IHP L1 & L2 certification. I appreciate your time, knowledge and passion you share daily. Laima: Hello, my nephew who is 15 years old has Gilbert’s syndrome. What would you suggest to do in this case? Many thanks!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1360 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1359: Food Allergies vs Intolerances, Labial Adhesion, Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion, Celiac Reversible, Caffeine Heart Palpitations, Creatine Loading (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  James: Hello Dr Cabral, I have a question regarding food intolerances. Can you explain how we get these, are we both born with these and also develop them later in life or are we only born with food ALLERGIES, and intolerances are all later developed? Also can we cure all intolerances or is it possible we may have some intolerances for life? Please explain in as much detail as possible if the science is out there. :) Thanks so much for your continued support -  James Michelle: My 2 year old daughter (turning 3 in late Nov) has a labial adhesion. This was found after we brought her in for "stomach" pain, which x-rays showed was severe constipation (even though she had been having BMs). The pediatrician's recommendation for resolving the adhesion was prescription estrogen cream to be applied to the adhesion twice daily (Premarin for 7-10 days). Since the x-ray confirmed the pain was caused by constipation, and not a bladder issue, I am NOT comfortable applying estrogen cream to my toddler, especially since hers is only connecting the middle third of her labia! Do you know of labial adhesions fixing themselves over time? Would you feel comfortable applying an estrogen cream to one of your young daughters? Thank you, and in particular, for your dedication to helping normal folks like me understand more naturopathic ways of approaching "medicine" via your podcast!! Carole: Hi Dr. Cabral -- I'm a big fan of yours and have been a dedicated listener of your podcast for a while. I look forward to waking up and listening to your words of wisdom daily. Thank you so much for for the information you provide. I was hoping to see if you have any natural suggestions/recommendations to help a person diagnosed with Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO). Thank you! I really appreciate everything you teach! I wish there were more people in the world like you. :) Kelly: My 5yo was diagnosed celiac at 4. I realize this is not supposed to be a reversible disease. I do know that it is an autoimmune condition and since other autoimmune are potentially reversible why is this different? Jess: Hi Dr. Cabral! For the past 5 years or so I have had an intolerance to caffeine. I started drinking coffee in high school and continued until I was about 23/24. Out of the blue I began to have heart palpitations and trouble breathing. It almost felt like a panic attack that would last days after drinking a single cup of coffee. It got so bad that I ended up going to the ER where they determined I have an arrhythmia that worsens when I drink caffeine. Now at age 28 I avoid it at all costs in order to not have the symptoms. The cardiologist I went to did not have any answers as to why this started happening so suddenly and basically told me to stop drinking coffee. Is there a way to find out why this happened? I would love to have the occasional cup of coffee again! I am also currently doing the CBO protocol for SIBO and H.pylori. Thanks for all that you do! Darrel: Hey Dr. Cabral. During the phase of training where I would do a creatine overload is it okay to add creatine to regular water, Himalayan sea salt & lime drink first thing in the morning? Or is it okay to add anything else to that drink eg collagen, glutamine, citrulline etc? Or should it be just those 3 ingredients (lime, salt, water) with option of daily vegetable powder?

1353: MTHFR Supplements, Detox Symptoms, Goldfish Memory, Sensitive Gut Foods, Blue Blocking Glasses Tint, Osteoporosis Risks (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Bryana: Hello Dr. Cabral,I wanted to ask about the MTHFR gene. I have 2 copies of the C677T mutation, my husband has two copies of the A1298C mutation and our kids have one copy of each. I know for the C mutation of the gene that we need to supplement with extra b vitamins, methylated folate, extra zinc, magnesium and vitamin C. My question for you is, what "protocol" should I follow for the A gene mutation? Thanks so much for enabling all of us with the power of knowledge! Bryana Kate: Hello. I have recently completed the 7 day detox. I have a question about the unusual symptoms I am now experiencing once completed. During the detox I felt fine, apart from the normal detox reactions - fatigued, headaches, racing heart etc. But towards the very end of the detox and especially on the day after I completed it, I have been experiencing tingling in my hands and feet as well as all over my face. I have stomach cramps as well and extreme anxiety. I feel as though I have adrenaline pumping through my veins. Would I possibly still be experiencing detox symptoms? Is this ‘normal’ as a reaction to completing the detox? I’m a little confused and I was feeling great but seem to have something else going on in my body/mind etc. thank you for your help. Lucy: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a question about memory! I have an absolutely terrible memory, short term and long term. There are huge chunks of my life I can't recall and I'm only 30. My best friends will talk about people we knew and hung out with in high school and I can't remember any of them. My college friends nicknamed me "goldfish", and then I forgot why they gave me that nickname. I have to write notes for myself and set multiple reminder alarms just to get through the day...I've done the CBO Protocol twice now and the Dr. Cabral Detox. I'd love to know possible root causes, what tests would be best, or even protocols I can jump into to figure this out. Thanks so much, love the podcast! Jacquelyn: Hi, do you still have the sauna and are at the Berkeley st location? Thank you. Marie: Hi Dr Cabral. I was wondering whether you are familiar with the brand XXXXX and were able recommend their products (which include things like Ormus Gold, Shilajit, cbd etc.). They are quite an investment so I would love to hear your opinion before purchasing. Many thanks !! Be: Hey from South Australia! I wonder, how exactly did you test the foods on the ‘sensitive gut guide’ to determine, ‘yes, this doesn’t feed Candida/agitate the gut’. I understand if you don’t want to disclose this for business reasons. I listen to your podcast all the time! And it has really contributed to my experience throughout my Nutritional Medicine degree! So thank you! Nikki: Hi All Do blue light blocking glasses have to be tinted? There are so many brands that sell them now, How do you know that are legitimate? Reece: I am 55 years old in great shape, eat well, exercise cardo and weight bearing, follow you, and have read your book. I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and still can't believe it. What I'd like to ask is - can you speak to this on one of your podcasts? i tried to find a way to search on your podcast page, but didn't see a way to do that. I'd like to know what the root cause is or what can cause this and if I can reverse what I am being told?I did have some tests run and they want me in 6 months to have a Collagan cross-linked N-Teleopeptide test again (NT-x), U it was high at 51 and according to the bone specialist this is high, indicating there is bone loss and possible medication in my future? Which I do not want to do... EVER!Hoping there is something I can do now, to change it, if anything?

1352: Mushrooms & Yeast, Safe Cholesterol Levels, Shortness of Breath, Leaky Gut Symptoms, Hands Itchy, Eggs & Viruses, Inflamed from Workout (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Karin: Hello Dr Cabral, I listen to your podcasts every day and never stop learning something new. I was diagnosed with candida overgrowth and I really want to know, is there any truth behind the dietary recommendation to avoid the consumption of yeasts and mushrooms (not medicinal)? And if so, why? As a biologist I'm really interested in the mechanism behind it.Thank you so much!Karin. Carolyn: How can I lower my LDL to below 50. Would my liver be producing too much LDL for some reason other than from my diet?? I am 64 year old female diagnosed with coronary heart disease which runs in my family. Father died at age 66 and one brother has had heart bypass surgery. My total cholesterol is 176, HDL 72, Triglycerides 69 and LDL 88. I am on statin 40 mg. for 1.5 years. I have always exercised and still do, 4 days a week. 3 cardio and one strength class per week for 60 minutes each. I eat fresh fruit and vegetables and lowfat yogurt, egg beaters, oats and grains, some dark chocolate and salmon or cod. Occasionally eat shrimp. I take vitamin supplements and also was diagnosed with osteopenia 10 yrs ago and took extra calcium as recommended by doctors for past 10 year which I am afraid contributed to my heart disease. Now I get my calcium from food sources and small amount in multi vitamin. Heart disease was diagnosed with chemical stress test which I requested because of family history as I have no symptoms of heart disease. My calcium score test 10 years ago was zero and now it is 56 - my diet and exercise has been the same other than I am older and started taking calcium supplements. Also have had a stressful life during that time frame but now I have gotten my stress under control. Never had high blood pressure ever. Jada: Hi Dr.Cabral, Thanks for all of the wonderful information you make available for people! I’m a 37 year old woman who isn’t overweight, pre-diabetic, smoker or drinker who has been experiencing heart disease symptoms. I get extremely short of breath by doing nothing to the point of feeling as if I’m suffocating and will prevent me from sleeping, chest pressure that can cause me to dry heave and will last for days/weeks at a time, heavy arms, weakness, being woken from sleep not breathing, sometimes SVT episodes, hair loss, tachycardia, fatigue, brain fog, inability to retain info and recall words, hormonal issues with possible endometriosis now, Hashimotos but thyroid is stable. These symptoms mildly started in 2012 after a stressful event but cardiac symptoms worsened in 2017 out of nowhere. My EKGs are now borderline and I’ve had one abnormal EKG after I was given Albuterol which showed Ischemia and mild T-wave depression. I’ve been to 9+ cardiologists, NDs and a couple functional medicine doctors that don’t know what is wrong and they all tell me my heart is fine. I’ve had stress test, Stress MRI, echos, holter monitors(showed PACs,PVC and occasional SVT) but everything looks “fine.” I’ve really lost my quality of life and while some days my symptoms calm down, I have many days where I can barely move because I’m so shortness of breath with such a tight chest! This is terrifying! I’ve had one doctor tell me this could be related to stealth infections or mycotoxins. Your expertise is much appreciated! Lauren: Dear Doctor Cabral, I’ve been listening to your podcasts for about 4 months, I love everything you do, its amazing how one person can be such a wealth of knowledge in so many different areas of expertise. I’m female, 31, 68kg, no children, BMI fine. I’ve been working with a local practitioner to help heal from a variety of dis-eases and more in discovered alone the way. I use to suffer with seasonal allergies (hay fever, pollen (Adelaide high pollen rate), animals, grass etc ever since I can remember). I now suffer constantly all year around from chronic itchy eyes (TRIED EVERYTHING), it’s very debilitating as I wake myself up from itchy my eyes in my sleep therefore I never feel well rested. I use to live in Dubai, where my allergies didn’t flare up but suffered regular ear infections as I was a flight attendant. My IGE is through the roof; 780 H and my eosinophils has been really high for a while now too. I have had asthma, eczema since I was a baby and suffered on and off with anxiety/depression since I was 16 (on/off meds). About 23, I was diagnosed with PCOS/celiac dis-ease and discovered had I H-pylori, which I took a millions AB’s for. I recently got tested for MTHFR, which I tested positive for homozygous C677T and tested positive parasites Blasto (AB’s didn’t kill). I discovered some mould (killed with vinegar) in my home and also have a hypoallergenic dog. My symptoms and trying to treat are: chronic itchy eyes (TRIED EVERYTHING), acne (since I can remember), headaches, emotional, eczema/dry skin, high eosinophils, candida, parasites, brain fog, parasites. Past conventional treatment for acne: 2 courses of Roaccutane, Doxycycline, steroid injections, hormone blockers, even got a job a skin clinic, hoping I would heal. Working with my local practitioner and bicom therapy; we are addressing the parasites, possible candida and healing of the gut, with hope all of the other symptom will decrease. I eat relatively healthy, gluten free, dairy free, exercise/sweat 4-5 times per week, drink plenty of water, fast minimum 12 hours per day. Have a good sleep hygiene however never get a good night sleep. I would say I’m pitta/vata dosha type. Due to supplements, I’ve got my homo from 10.1 down to 4.4, b12 has increased, folate has increased, vit d has increased. I have really dry flaky skin on scalp/face and dry eyes but acne! I have tried low histamine diet (all vary depending where you source it) however it conflicts with the MTHFR diet and Ayurveda diet. I use your daily nutritional shake, do I require the additional supplements on top? I have read your amazing book RBE, use your daily nutritional shake, currently doing your allergy protocol and about to start your 21 day detox and parasite protocol. I would love to do the big five, especially the OAT test but as you know all these supplements and labs are very expensive. I know you have done podcasts before on a variety of the above topics however as you know not one size fits all and I don’t think anyone out there has the exact health history as myself. I am doing everything I can within my financial means to help my recovery back to equilibrium. I’m really hoping you can help me, thanks for your time. Karyn: Hello, whenever I walk for exercise I find that my hands start to swell and feel uncomfortable and dry. I also get a little itchy on the inner parts of my thighs. I've read this could be a result of low sodium? I am otherwise fit (more so a lean vata bodytype), I eat whole foods and exercise often. I've noticed this happens mainly when I walk very faced paced and isn't affected by what I wear. Any suggestions on how I can stop this from happening as its quite uncomfortable. Thank you so much in advance! Reka: Hello Stephen, Can you please shed some light. Everyone is raving on about celery juice curing digestive disorders and disease because the of the medical medium. He also claims that eggs and butter (organic grass feed doesn’t matter)cause disease over time is there truth to this, if so can you please explain? Thank you for everything you do! Cameron: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm a huge fan of all that you do, and listen to your podcast religiously. I especially love your training Thursday episodes, as I also enjoy weight training. I'm a 5' 9", 71kg predominantly Vata body type, and I'd like to gain a little size, without harming my health otherwise. In recent years I have suffered the symptoms of Menieres disease, however between your fantastic podcast and my local naturopath's help, I feel like I can say I've finally got on top of it, touch wood. The only problem is, I sometimes feel increased symptoms, mainly ear fullness and slight hearing loss in my right ear, within a day or so after workouts with heavy compound lifts, especially squats and deadlifts. I'm concerned the heavy lifts may be too taxing on my CNS and that may be the cause. What do you think? I'd love to know your thoughts on the connection between the CNS and weightlifting. I know my diet and sleep have room for improvement if I'm honest.

1350: New Research: 2-Part Anti-Aging Protocol (TT)

One day people will stop believing the myth that their body is naturally supposed to break down, be in pain, and run out of energy as they age... Those statements above couldn’t be further from the truth and I could show you thousands of side by side comparisons of people in their 60s, 70, and 80s (even 90s) that are living a vibrant, energetic life versus their counterparts... Yes, good quality, sleep, and stress are all factors, but science is beginning to discover other factors that play a role in reversing the aging process...

1347: Your Emotions Are Getting In the Way Of Your Happiness (MM)

One of the hardest things to see with your own eyes is that many of us live our lives based on how we're feeling at that moment... This means that if for some reason we have reason to be happy, we're happy. Or, if we have a reason to be sad, we're sad... It seems out of our control? The problem with this is that if you're always living by your emotions of the moment you'll never be able to live the life you seek...

1346: High Cortisol Fat, Organ Meat Amounts, Age Related Tests , Cancer Prevention Tips (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Leah: Hi Dr. Cabral. An overall background about me. I live and breath a healthy lifestyle (and love it - no deprivation here;)). I exercise daily, always walking... living off a clean, mostly plant-based, no highly processed foods + organic diet (well-balanced macros + micros), dry brush, tongue scrape... the works. I'm not tooting my own horn but rather give you a general picture of my lifestyle. One thing I can honestly agree is that my stress levels and anxiety are my biggest battle. About a year ago I have been finding myself at this burnout state. Feeling nauseous, weak (in bed) and fluelike symptoms, which happened about once or twice every other month (give or take). After reading your book (the rain barrel effect) It all made sense to me how I got to this state over a long period of time, even though everything else was right, the toxins (stress) just overflowed. My question is this:I did the FM detox, and while I see many amazing results from family and friends who did it with me, I didn't see or feel major changes. I didn't go down on the scale or react in any way. I try to implement meditation and overall calming rituals to balance my stress levels. I haven't been in this burnout mode for a while, but then sure enough... this week I find myself back in this cycle (this time I also experienced indigestion issues).What other steps can you suggest (lab test + lifestyle changes, or supplements) that I should implement?Also, side note: While It isn't my main concern; I have been struggling with the last 5-10 lbs. Eating clean (not too much but definitely enough/ full) and moving around (16,000 steps daily average and strength training 4-5x /week) Would this stubborn fat be related to the stress and anxiety? Thanks again for the amazing messages and knowledge you share with us all. You have impacted my life in ways you can't imagine. I really appreciate the time and effort you give. All the best, Leah. Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am starting to incorporate organ meat into my diet and was wondering if there is a limit to how much I should eat? It is all grass fed and finished and comes from a local farmer. Also I have been listening to a podcast with a doctor who eats carnivore and he eats his meat raw. I have since looked into this and have seen many people online who do this. I am not considering this but out of interest, what are your thoughts on eating meat (organ, muscle etc) raw? As always thank you for your response. Melissa: Hello I am so thrilled to have found you earlier this year! I am binge listening to your Podcast and have heard you talk about genetic testing. I was wondering if you continue to recommend testing and which brand you recommend? Seems like I remember something about teleomere testing! I love learning from you and would love to know half of what you have learned! Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thanks for all the amazing information you share with us daily, for free. I listen to your podcasts to and from work everyday and it's made my commute seem "worth it." Question about genetic predispositions. My mother has battled (and won) 2 breast cancer battles. She is BRCA1+ as are my sister and I. I chose preventative, risk reducing surgery to lower my breast cancer risk which I feel really great about especially because my sister just finished her breast cancer battle. We also have a 54% risk of ovarian cancer with this mutation. I know you said we can change or maybe turn on/off our genetic predispositions. I'm currently 37 and am not ready to start a family. My gynecological oncologist is pushing fallopian tube/ovary removal to lower my risk of this awful cancer (known well as the silent killer) but I'm not ready. What are your thoughts and advice you have on this topic if this was, say your sister or daughter in this position? I appreciate everything you do and are trying to do! I hope to join the IHP level 1 one day as I love learning.

1345: Seeing Lights, Light Headedness, Women vs. Men Fasting, My Dog’s Diet, Blepharitis, Seborrheic Keratosis (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral! Yesterday (August 31) about 45 minutes after a hard workout at 10:30am; dead lift holds, overhead holds, kettlebell swings, assault bike, I got home and I had wavy lights in my peripheral vision. It freaked me out and this had happened to me a couple of months ago and I remembered a nurse friend said it was likely low blood sugar. I ate some mango and about 20 minutes later it went away. I had a DNS smoothie with blueberries and avocado about an hour before my workout and by the time I was done working out, I had half a gallon of water. This has happened 3 times in the last 4 years, each time was after a work out. I'm super healthy, I don't drink alcohol. I do the Dr Cabral Foundation Level 1 plus cal/mag, 3,000mg of Alkalized vitamin c, lysine, Vitamin D, CBD. I eat wild salmon twice a week and sardines 3 times a week, so I only occasionally take EN fish oil. I started to google search this but stopped because things like mini-strokes came up. All of my recent bloodwork was all where it should be according to your podcast guidance and I just had an eye exam and other than my life long near-sightedness, my eye health is perfectly healthy. Does this sound like low blood sugar? If so, why would it be the case if I ate breakfast and worked out at 10:30, plus had 32 oz of water? I do not want to go to a doctor because it'll be at least an MRI ordered. Im in your IHP Level 2 right now. Thank you for ALL you do! Cara: Follow up: I received a reply from our Dr Cabral Support Group from an optometrist and she said that what I experienced could be a visual aura. She said most visual auras precede a migraine or headache but a good amount of people never get the headache and just experience the aura. I never had a headache or a migraine after any of these occurrences. Then my next question, why would I be getting these aura migraines? Gabriela: Hi Dr. Cabral First I love your podcasts, very informative. Now for my question do you believe women should fast differently than men, are you familiar whith Dr. Beth who is all about women's health. She believes women should have snacks during the fast because of our hormones. Would really love to hear what you have to say about this. Thank you! Luke: Hi Dr. Cabral. Would you be able to tell me what you typically feed your dog. As with humans, diet for pets seems to be a topic that has many differing opinions. What does your dog's diet look like (types of foods and amount), and do you give him any supplements? I know you would have done your research on this and I appreciate your response. Thank you. Richelle: Hi Dr, Cabral,I’ve done your 7 day detox and am currently using the deep sleep protocol. I love using the support group and Michelle advised me to ask you my specific question. I have Blepharitis and my doctor currently has me using tea tree oil wipes which has helped. She says it will never be cured but by doing this it will keep it under control. Because of this, I rarely wear any makeup. I also suspect that I have a parasite issue and plan on doing that protocol in October after my trip to Jamaica.I also have been diagnosed with Afib and aflutter and had open heart surgery as a baby back in 1960. I’m currently on a blood thinner,Eliquis, and take diltiazem for high blood pressure. I’m taking magnesium and only half the recommendation for the blood thinner. At my request, my doctor is gradually lowering my blood pressure medicine as I don’t want to be on any meds. I’ve lost 11 pounds recently, retired from teaching after 36 years and need to lose more weight as I know it will help lower blood pressure. Please give me your expert advice regarding my issues.Thanks for your time Natasha: Hi SC I was wondering if there was a way to stop or get rid of seborrheic keratosis other than freezing them off. As i get older I seem to be getting more and more and im becoming self conscious to wear a bikini in summer they are over my back and stomach and chest and dont look that great. Would appreciate any advice.

1341: An 8-Step Guide to Mindful Eating (TWT)

I find today’s topic a strange one to give tips on, but nonetheless it’s one of the most important things you could improve... The reason is that without proper assimilation of food, the healthy choices you make become less important...

1340: This Is More Helpful Than a To-Do List (MM)

What could be better for productivity than a to-do list? Well... the truth is that “to-do lists” only work if you keep yourself accountable for completing them. And, the only way to actually check off everything you have on your to-do list is to make the time to get it all done. But, where do you find that time?

1339: Arnold Ehret, DNA Results, Length of Time to Heal, Balancing Thyroid, Bartonella, Leaky Gut Dis-Eases (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Dar: Hi sorry you may need the entire podcast for these questions lol. 1. Thoughts on Arnold Ehret you must have read his books 2. Had bells palsy awhile back about 5 months ago once in awhile when I'm tired I have a weird eye twitch that I only had since then but all my other symptoms subsided after 2 weeks, crooked smile ect. What do you recommend? I take b12, magnesium, thyroid support, omega, and zinc. Fruits and veggies powder. 3. I feel pretty good but want optimal energy what do you suggest for that? I workout regularly. Just want to feel optimal. Once in awhile I feel tired and once in awhile optimal energy but want that to be consistent. Cindy:  Dr. Cabral, I have had and still have many questions, but I don't usually stop to write them down. Last week in speaking with my husband I said, "Dr. Cabral has been my greatest mentor." He knows me well as he said, "Maybe you should tell him." So truly Dr. Cabral, I started listening to you in early 2017, I have read your book, and on my health passion endeavor, you have been my greatest mentor. Thank you.In 2018, I completed the food sensitivity test and the DNA testing. During the consultation, you briefly questioned why I did these tests first. I already knew it would not have been your path of tests to complete, but I feel very passionate to help my family. I know you can only help those who want to live a healthy life style. Meaning, if my DNA has indicators that could help my Dad and sisters, I wanted that information (and got it). I could not ask all the questions during our consultation, because as we went through it, my heart broke for my Mom, who passed away from Fatty Liver Disease in 2009 at the age of 67. I felt as though everything on the DNA test could have been my Mom's test. I know it was not, but I definitely had some emotions to work through. So, I think you should consider giving the report to the client a day or so before the consultation. That would have benefited me, for sure. OK... I am APOE2/E3 …. does this give any indication on one's Ayurvedic body type?  I am some combination of Pita / Vatta, but I am curious if there is any correlation between the two. Thank you for all you do. Cindy: Dr. Cabral, Again, I have read your book, shared many of your shared wisdoms with my 4th grade students, and listen to your podcast daily. Thank you for taking your hardship and building a beautiful story that blesses others. I do have a request... on the House Calls, even if you have covered the information, could you please, please, please …. give a summarized answer (and give the episode one could go back to)? Question: How long do you think it would take for an average person's labs, lets say the big 5, to come back normal, all within range, if the person did your CBO protocol, Heavy Metal Detox, Mold Protocol, 4 Detox Protocols a year, Level 2 or 3 Daily Protocol, and lived a healthy lifestyle? Cindy: Dr. Cabral, I am still in search of my Root Cause. As a "health detective," I think it was gluten pushing my rain barrel throughout childhood. As a child I would always get tonsillitis once or twice a year. They were removed at 18, and a few years later I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. I started medication (levothyroxine) and had virtually no symptoms for 20 years.  At that point, everything went wrong, but I was pushing my body (working on my educational dissertation) too hard, with little sleep. For four years during this time, I also lived in and worked in a Mold house (now my daughter also has issues, but not my husband or son). Within a 2 year period, I started taking 5 different medications.  Upon finishing my educational goals in mid 2016, I knew I needed to focus on my sleep patterns and health.  In 2017 I stopped all medications besides the thyroid medication and a daily allergy pill (which I have tried eliminating those as well). Two days without the allergy pill, I am a sneezing mess (yes, histamine issues). There was a cost in stopped the medications: I crashed. But, I got up! Slowly. I did NOT want to cover symptoms; I now want to feel, so I know. Exercise is important, but it could sure take my energy for a day or two. I am feeling much better, but I still don't know my root cause. I don't want the energy crash to happen. If I eat gluten, a small one still happens, but not like before. What I know: My body does not digest Gluten (DNA). Food Sensitives: wheat, gliadin, dairy (slow metabolizer of caffeine... so it can make me feel anxious with too much) Thyroid antibodies: Present, but both in the 30s (only tested after removed gluten and dairy, mostly) Big Helps for me: 2016 Sleep focus of at least 7 hours (but I don't get much Deep Sleep, according to my Oura ring) 2017 Removal of Gluten and Dairy 2017 Adding about 6 mg of Iodine Daily (now I can go longer without it, but then I would crash with 1 day of skipping it) 2018 Added liothyronine (T3 drug …. due to High Reverse T3 = 29…) 2018 Daily Coffee Enemas for 12 weeks: I felt completely renewed after 10 weeks. Now, I use weekly. 2018 I could run without crashing, if I would ground (literally, putting my body on the grass for several minutes) after a short sprint. 2019 Red Light Therapy with Platinum LED Bio 900 mixed bulbs and a full body I-Vibration Pro Plate. I know your Magnesium, Zinc, mentholated Vit B, and Vit C - continue to help me (and I will always supplement these); but the items above, I know, I felt the push towards health. My question: How do I get to my root cause? How do I know, so I don't repeat the same mistake? I don't know if I will ever get off the thyroid medications, and if my thyroid is damaged (working to get an ultra sound), I am ok with taking medications. But the truth is, I think my thyroid is coming back to life! My medication dosing is crazy now. After taking 175 mcg of levothyroxine for a decade, I know take 88 mcg; but, it keeps changing. I am doing a lot, working towards, no... living healthy. I want others having this similar struggle to have that list of "big helps for me" - maybe it can help them too. Again, My question: How do I get to my root cause? How do I know, so I don't repeat the same mistake?  Thank you. Aloha & Blessing to you. Cindy: Dr. Cabral, What would cause pain in the bottom of the feet and behind the knees, specifically behind the knees when in bed? When I first started taking the Citricidal drops, the knee pain started. It doesn't happen often any more. However, the bottom of my feet hurt when I start walking. The tops will sometimes get terrible cramps (I use Essential oils on it), but it can be painful. I have had the pain in the bottom of my feet for years. But, when I see each of my sisters (5 girls) get up from a seated position and start walking, I notice the struggle in each of us! I've read about Bartonella, both causing pain in the bottom of the feet and hurting one's thyroid. What do you think? Thank you again for all you do. Aloha & Blessings to you. :) Sonny: Have you or your team ever come across someone suffering from Type I - Diabetes, Celiac Disease, Testicular Cancer, and finally Multiple Sclerosis, 2 Auto- Immune Disease?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1339 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1338: SIBO Lab, Cosmetic Procedures, H. Pylori Protocol, Detox Enemas, “Hashis,” ASD & Anxiety, Best Whey Protein (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Virupa: Hi, Im a 26 year old female from the UK. I recently discovered Dr Cabral’s podcasts and the rainbarrel effect through Melissa Ambrosini and I’m so grateful for all your wonderful work! I’ve just completed my first year of foundation training as a doctor and I’m fascinated by functional medicine, Holistic medicine and alternative medicine as they really are the answer to many chronic illnesses.  I was diagnosed with IBS a few years ago. I’ve been suffering from terrible bloating/gas/belching and chronic constipation for a few years. I also suffer from chronic anxiety and insomnia, and PCOS. I keep my stress levels under control by exercising regularly, doing plenty of yoga and meditation. Diet wise I eat plenty of vegetables, healthy carbohydrates and eggs. I’ve recently eliminated diary and gluten. Given my GI symptoms above could I have Candida/bacterial overgrowth? I haven’t really used antibiotics, birth control, Advil or consume alcohol in excess however I feel it could be a possibility given my symptoms? I was wondering how sensitive and specific the organic acids tests is for diagnosing SIBO? I was also wondering what else the organic acids test could tell me about my health given the symptoms/conditions I have listed above? Kind regards, Dr Virupa Tanisha: Hey Dr. Cabral. Are there any real serious drawbacks from someone doing cosmetic procedures whether it be minor aesthetic stuff like Botox & face lifts or plastic surgery where fat is removed and body is contoured. I know I am wrong & selfish here but I've worked hard & ate right for my body for years while some of my friends were being sloppy even when I encouraged them to train. A couple got procedures and it admittedly looks great, now the others are exploring that option and I can't honestly tell them to chose the exercise/diet option instead because procedures are more appealing. Forgive me, but is there any info you have that I can give them or is this the way of the future and we should accept it? Even one told me her husband did penis enhancement procedure. It's crazy in my opinion. Sigh. Anyway, love your show, I'm trying to put friends on it. Sigrid: Hi there, i was diagnosed with H-Pylori. I would like to clear it out using a more natural method instead of going the antibiotic route (as i have tried it before and didn't last more then a 1.5 days). Can you please tell me which products i need to purchase to start on Dr. Cabrals program for H-pylori. Jody: Hello! I’m working with Dr X doing the X Program (I believe he has taken your courses and has turned me on to your podcast). I’m entering the 5th week of program which is 1st week of detox. (2 week X detox)Do you feel using enemas are safe? I have trouble moving bowels and frequently use enemas. I’m especially concerned during detox phase and don’t want to miss a day of elimination.  Big fan- thanks for what you do! Jody Richie: Hi, I have been diagnosed with Hashis in March. TSH 40. My dr thinks I was hypo for some time. I'm on 150 mg syntroid per day. Is there any benefit to prolonged water fasting to cleanse my system. I'm currently 60 pounds overweight. Would a 10, 20, 30 day water fast, followed by AIP diet help? Could it possible cure my symptons? I continue to suffer from Brain Fog, mood fluctuations, letargy. Recently my scalp has become irritated. Thank you. Richie Kerry: Hi Dr,  Would you ever use adrenal “Adrenal Soothe” support for a 5 year old child who has ASD and high anxiety?  If not what would you suggest to support with high stress. We are already looking at underlying issues and doing your parasite protocol and will follow up with CBO after. The main goal I have is to reduce stimming as it is impacting my child’s schooling. Thanks Kerry Darrel: Hey Dr. Cabral. Quick question. In your early podcast days and your Guide to muscle and Strength book you would've recommended whey protein. Has that stance changed since then or is it still safe to use? Even though it's cow based does it go through a different process (like ghee) to not be considered harmful like dairy? If that's the case, what types you suggest? Keep up good work   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1338 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1336: Health & Longevity Shocker: 23,153 Study Participants Are Not Wrong (TT)

I don't know about you, but sometimes it seems like the health industry tries to "force" things to work... Meaning, they will selectively cherry-pick the few studies that back up their point, or exclaim how much it has made a difference in their personal life...

1332: Goat vs. Cow Dairy, White Dots on Skin, Isagenix Breakdown, Weight Fluctuations, Lithium Orotate, Maqui Berries (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Valerie: Hi dr.cabral i know you've done podcasts on this before but im having trouble finding the one im thinking of. I know you disagree with the intake of dairy due to its inflammation properties but where do u stand on lactose free milk/yogurt or goat diary? Is it less or as safe as nut alternative? John: I have white dots all over my arms, I have gotten more and more with age. They look like loss of pigmentations, I also have a lot of freckles too. Is there some sort of deficiency that causes this or is this just ageing Sarah: Hi Dr. Stephen, First off, thank you very much for sharing so much of your knowledge through your podcast. I by no means claim to be a health guru, but your podcast has helped me make some significant changes in my diet and lifestyle and they have proven to work. So, thank you!  I wanted to reach out and ask about your daily nutritional shake. I started using your products about six months ago and I make a daily, breakfast smoothie with the daily nutritional support shake in either flavor, along with your collagen and magnesium as well. However, I have a family who is very into supplements and are representatives of the Isagenix brand. I used these products for about six years before stumbling upon your podcast (and others) and realized that I can do better and be cleaner in my diet. My family hasn’t been able to accept the fact that I’m no longer using the Isagenix products and nearly every time we meet with them they preach to me how “this new shake your taking does not give you the minerals and vitamins that you need.” Can you speak to this at all? I do feel Supplementing is important, but it would be helpful to get some professional insight on how I am in fact getting what I need through your Equilibrium products. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!! Sue: Hi Dr Cabral,  I am at a loss! I feel like I have zero will power and fell that I must be the stupidest person on the planet. I have loads of knowledge of health and wellness and have had massive health gains over the past few years. My family and community see me as their health and wellness go to but I fear that I’m just a fraud.  I have lost about 30 kg through completing food elimination diets, I have even completed 2 x 21 day detoxes. I gain weight very quickly after I complete a protocol. I usually gain at least 3kg (7 pounds) in the first week that I return to regular eating after this I feel deflated and I start over eating. I do so well when I’m on protocol but a few weeks after I’m done start binge eating and over eating. Once I start over eating it is like I have an insatiable hunger - I could literally eat all day and never feel satisfied.  I think it’s a mental thing because a few times I’ve even eat gluten during a binge and caused great pain to myself because I have celiac disease.  The past year I have lost and gained the same 10kg 4 times. I don’t know what is wrong with me, why I’m so weak, why I gain so quickly and what I can do. Do you have any suggestions for why I can’t break this vicious cycle? Lisa: Looking for you opinion on Lithium orotate. How and when to use it? Brand and dosage to take. Thank you! Darren: Hey Dr Cabral. You regularly recommend Blueberries in smoothie for breakfast. I'm from Caribbean so we import them frozen. I was wondering if maqui berries are also as effective, better or worse to use as a substitute given the powdered version is available to us. As always keep up great work.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1332 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1331: Food Sensitivity Causes, Longer Fasts, Firefighter Detox, Grumbling Stomach, Too Much Water After Waking (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  James: Hi everyooneee (Dr Cabral voice) :D but actually Hi doc, because this question today is for you. I wanted to hear your thoughts on food sensitivities, my understanding is that they are usually caused by undigested food particles breaching the tight junctions in the gut lining then the body having an immune response to that specific food because it’s now in the blood stream – then when we eat that food again the body still has that same immune response and starts attacking itself, causing food intolerance symptoms? Firstly can you confirm if I am correct with that, and if so do you think it’s possible to cure food intolerances then by sealing up the tight junctions and taking care of any fungus/bacteria overgrowth - or will your body still have an immune response to these specific foods? If you could dive deep(ish) into how food intolerances are created, how symptoms arise and the mechanism behind curing them I would be super interested to learn! If you have time Thanks again - James Richie: Dr Cabral, I listen to your podcast all the time. I have recently become interested in extended water fasting and the benefits of autophagy. 5 , 10, 30 day fasts.I was diagnosed with Hashimitos in March. I'm taking 125 mg synthetic T4. I'm 50 pounds overweight and suffering brain fog and mood swings. Do you think a prolonged water fast of 30 days could reset my metabolism and cleanse my gut? Or do you think it could be dangerous and damage my already stressed adrenal system? I'd appreciate if you could consider this topic for your podcast.Cheers, Richie  Alpha: Hey Dr. Cabral. I really enjoy your show and try to put as many people as possible on to it. I'm a firefighter and sometimes despite out best efforts we get exposed to smoke, fumes, dust etc. All the years the recommendation after a major call where that happens is to drink some milk. The seniors claim it helps trap and remove contaminants. Is there any possible truth to this or is it an old wives tale not rooted in science? Also what recommendations you have for firefighters, victims or those in similar circumstances who may have been exposed to smoke/contaminants etc? Would an active lifestyle help combat risks? As always keep up great work. Madison: Hi Dr. Cabral! Big fan of your podcast & all that you stand for. I am 22 years old and have a question regarding the correlation between cortisol and intermittent fasting. I am very active workout out 5-6x/week and prefer to fast 7pm-9am. However, I find that, for example, if I wake up at 5:30am to workout, when I return home to get ready, around 7-7:30am, my stomach is grumbling/expressing hunger, but I don't physically feel hungry. With stress in my job/commute to the city, could these stomach/intestinal noises be a sign of high cortisol? Thanks!! Ruth: I started doing Amanda’s program and your detox. I drank 30 oz upon waking and then the 20oz shake. I was feeling nauseous and had to stop. So my point: what should i do from here. I didn’t think feeling nauseous was normal, which is why i discontinued the detox shake/pills. Is this something that indicates something else is going on? Should i try again in a week? I have three boys: 9, 6 and 4 that i homeschool and my 4 year old has severe medical issues that i am sole caregiver for. My youngest son has had a lot of medical issues since hes been born to say the least which is why i started my health journey becUse i need to be around to take care of him. But i am in shape and been working out since last oct, and have been eating healthy, whole foods according to the faster way june: no gluten or dairy. I just wanted to give all details so you could advise best on how i should proceed. I will be honest that im scared to try again but maybe it was just the perfect storm of a day with mensuration, but i have a lot on my shoulders in life to be responsible for and being unavailable to my kids, especially my youngest, is not an option.

1328: 11 Healthy Snack Options + What To Watch Out For (WW)

After last weeks podcast on how to swap out unhealthy food options for much better choices, I wanted to follow up with a show dedicated just to snack foods… Snacking can be an effective way to boost energy levels, stabilize blood sugar, or make it through a long layover until your next meal, but there are also a lot of places you can go wrong in terms of making smart choices... Too many snack foods are loaded with processed flour, artificial flavors, and blood sugar spiking ingredients disguised as “healthy low-calorie snack packs…” However, these types of snacks will only set you further back from achieving your wellness, weight loss, or anti-aging goals…That’s why on today’s Cabral Concept 1328 I’d like to share with you 11 healthy snack food options plus what to watch out for – Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1328 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1326: This Is What Happens When You Complain & Make Excuses for Too Long (MM)

While I do believe in the power of venting and having someone you can confide in and share your struggles with there comes a point where complaining does more harm than good... It’s at this point that you begin holding yourself back from the bigger picture life has for you...

1325: Uncontrollable Ticks, High Cortisol or Hyperthyroidism, Prostaglandins, Corn Sensitivity, Dental Myofunctional Therapy, Healthy Weight Gain (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Megan: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for everything you do, you have helped me immensely! Keep up the good work. My question is about a guy I have recently started dating - he is 26 and seems to have little uncontrollable ticks or Tourette's like symptoms, is there something You can suggest to help him? His diet is not the best at the moment. I am currently studying your IHP certification and would love to know if this is something I can help people with when I am certified. Thanks again Christina: Hi, I am a 27 year old women with many symptoms of hyperthyroidism. I have been struggling with changes in my body weight and have recently lost about 8 pounds in a month due to stress. I have had insomnia for the last 4 years and am often extremely tired during the day and feel wired at night. I have a very active metabolism and can have up to 6 bowel movements in a day. The symptoms seem to be much more intense when I am pmsing and ovulating. I have frequent mood swings that can shift dramatically within an hour. I have never been clinically diagnosed but feel pretty confident that I have hyperthyroidism because it also runs in my family and would like to complete a lab test analysis. Which lab test(s) would you recommend? Thank you,  Christina Sharell: Hi doctor,  Can you please enlight me/us about the link with prostaglandins and your period.For 5 days AFTER my period I always get diarrheaI have seen this with might have something to do with a chemical called prostaglandins Is there anything I can do ??Back ground. 40 years old, healthy, normal flow period, 5 day period, 20 day cycle for years. No pain, no head aches. Thanks.  Becca: Good Evening! I am interested in a detox for my 5 year old son. He is currently 85lbs and we eat/live a relatively healthy life style. My husband and I are average and athletic and my daughter (age 4) also has a healthy weight! The pediatrician tells me that I should not be concerned with his weight until he is 10 years old, but I am having a hard time with that. He complains of his legs hurting all the time. We recently (past 2 years) discovered from our chiropractor that he has a sensitivity to corn and sugar. When consumed, his leg pain increases and most of all his behavior does a complete 180. He get very angry and irritable and nothing I do can stop it. My chiropractor mentioned that it could have something to do with his weight as well! We cut it out as much as possible but it is in EVERYTHING! A friend of mine suggested the detox and then the gut sealer for him! I am having a difficult time finding the info! Could you, please, point me in the right direction so that I can get my baby healthy and happy?Thanks so much, Becca Hunter: Hey Dr. Cabral, Love your work and how you are providing valuable information on a daily basis. I work in the dental field and I enjoy applying your podcasts to my field. One of the latest trends in dentistry is myofunctional therapy, which includes correcting the air pathway by training the muscles in the mouth and face. After hearing a myofuntional speaker give a presentation last week, practicing doctors claim that such therapy aids in ADHD / behavioral treatment, posture correction, sleep apnea, longevity and much more. I would encourage you and your audience to take a look at the research in order to develop your own opinion on interdisciplinary dentistry. My question to you would be how has dentistry / orthodontics fit into your wellness view for young children and adults? This myofunctional discipline is focused on healthy occlusal forces in the mouth and improved airway to aid in proper sleep. James: Hi Dr Cabral. I am definitely a vata/ectomorph body type, have been all my life. 6’ 3, 165lbs, skinny ankles, wrists, can eat whatever I want without gaining weight etc. I have decided I want to gain some weight – mainly muscle. I have the training and nutrition plan to do this, but this means I will be overeating somewhere between 3000-5000 calories a day, most likely eating more protein than I need and overall not living in balance, unfortunately for a HARD gainer this is what I need to achieve my goal. I know you will probably advise against this for overall health but I am at a point where I feel this is what I need at this time, I am just looking for some tips about what I can do to maintain my health (particularly gut health), while still eating very high calories/working out hard. Should I use enzymes to help with digestion? Use the DNS powder to make sure I’m getting enough fruit/veg? Meditate to help with the stress my body will be under? I have already been through your parasite and CBO protocol and would hate to wreck my gut again in pursuit of this goal. Any tips would be massively appreciated, thanks for your help doc – James   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1325 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1324: Sinus Headaches, Foul-Smelling Gas, Sharp Pain in Head, Stressed to Max, 9 Amalgam Removals, Wake Up Stiff (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Judy: I'm hoping you can help me! I suffer from chronic headaches - one per month that last for 48 hours. They usually occur around the same time each month. They used to be more spread out - maybe 2-3 per year. I was diagnosed years ago with sinus headaches - had an MRI done which did not show any signs of anything sinus related. Then the Dr said migraines and to avoid red wine, cheese, etc. That didn't help. I've been seeing a chiropractor and get massages regularly thinking it may be spine or muscle tension. But they keep occurring. I have had two babies in the last 3 years so I know nursing has made my posture terrible - along with sitting at a desk working for the last 16+ years! I even went to a neurologist 2 months ago and that was a joke! I listen to your podcasts and really love the information you provide to your listeners. I'm hoping you can help me! Daniela: Hi, First, I'd like to say I am so grateful that we have you! Thanks for all you do. I did the starter kit lab tests about one year ago or so. I had high levels of mercury and aluminum and the organic acids test showed no clear signs of candida or bacteria (but the health coach did say there were some backup markers indicating possible yeast or bacteria). So I did the Equilibrium Nutrition Heavy Metal Detox in October 2018, followed by the Intestinal Cleanse and Clean Gut Probiotic. I noticed that pretty soon after I started the HMD, I started having foul-smelling gas, which was very rare for me. It has been about 10 months or so and I find that I still have foul-smelling gas quite often. Any ideas what could be causing this?  Thanks! Savana: Hi dr. Cabral. I Love the podcasts, I listen to them almost every single day! Question for you...I’ve been getting these weird head pains. Out of nowhere ,a very sharp pain and pressure will hit like a lightning bolt. I do get headaches and migraines as well but these pains only come one at a time and are quite painful. I get them probably 5-10 times a day. I havnt had a head injury so I’m not sure what could be causing this...any thoughts? Thanks Anonymous: LONG Question warning: I stopped birth control April 2018, after 10 years consecutively taking it, and went from May - December without a cycle and in December had 2 barely noteworthy cycles. I haven't had one since. Overall symptoms below, both before stopping the pill and after. I have been traditionally allergy tested (skin prick) and am allergic to basically everything outdoors (trees, grass, weeds, pollen). I have been since birth. Plus beef, pork, dairy, mold, mildew.  I was retested last year and have developed new allergies to pineapple (biggest reaction), peaches, goat, cabbage, squash, cantelope, and rice but only mildly. I got tested because for the last 6 years before that avocado killed my guts. These new allergies do not react respiratorily, they just make my guts feel like they are twisting in knots for HOURS. It doesn't move along quickly in either direction. It just sits and hurts. I didn't test for this but now almonds, walnuts, and quinoa are doing the same thing. But not 100% of the time I eat them. It's so hard to do an elimination diet when it constantly changes.  My regular annual blood work shows that my cholesterol and other numbers seem to be improving with my regular exercise and whole food nutrition diet. I did have super low Vitamin D-OH Total (results were 25) and was on a weekly 50,000IU for 1 month and now take 1,000 IU per day. My Phospahte as phosperous was high but just on the top of the recommended range 4.6. TSH is around 1-1.5 between the last two years. MCV this year was 99. Sodium 142. Creatinine 0.93. A/G Ratio 2.1. ALT 26. Iron 186. B12 733. Fasting glucose 79. Calcium 10.2 Magnesium 2.2. Albumin 5.1. I emailed my bloodwork to your support email.  I am almost positive I have either thyroid and/or adrenal issues, leaky gut or something, but I can't afford to test right now. What can I do? Symptoms:  Insomnia fall asleep ok, but wake up a lot Restless all the time at night discomfort  Fatigue, I feel heavy eyed all the time even if my brain won't shut offBrain fog Memory problems Low sex drive (problem for at least 10 years)Hair falling out, breaking, brittle eyebrows thinning dry skin/dry hairRinging in ears Hands and feet always cold Lack of excitement, I don't even have hobbies anymoreInability to lose weight in lower body. Like I look skeletal in the chest and my upper body but my legs are very heavy tree trunk looking still. The mass/weight will not budge.  Look at food and gain weight, eat one bad meal and gain weight even thought I eat well the rest of the week.  Abdomen bloat under muscle, not much fat to pinch but I can see a distension.  Dry skin cracking around mouth/lipsAmenorrhea Mood irregularities  Can’t handle any stress it sets me off, the smallest things literally enrage me Dizzy upon standing from a crouchFood cravings/binges Sugar crash even if only a little (I don't eat sugar anymore so maybe I am just sensitive now? But I can't even enjoy a treat without a wicked crash)Tmj  Varicose veins in lower half Bunion Anxiety / pounding hard but not fast, but I can see and feel it in my neck Allergies Sleepiness even awake mentally Jessica: Hello Dr. Cabral. I wanted to start off by saying that I am so excited to be a part of your IHP level 1 and 2 training programs. Before i ask my question(s) let me start with a brief background of my current challenge. I have been on the fence for quite some time now. I have 9 amalgam fillings. I want to take them out before having my second child but am afraid to disturb them preconception. My now almost 5 years thankfully is fine . I breastfeed for 2.5 years and I am afraid that as these amalgams fade they will continue to leach and I am afraid of conceiving again with them in. I am worried for both mine and future baby's health. Keeping them or removing them preconception. Ihave received varied opinions from Natropaths, Functional medicine doctors (that I trust) and my dentist who happens to also be a biological dentist office. I am a researcher and I have done a lot of research and couldn't come up with any compelling evidence that shows no harm to baby if amalgams are taken out before conception, however know how unhealthy it is to keep them in. I also listened to your Cabral Concept on Amalgam Fillings.  I now consider you one of my go-to sources and would so appreciate your guidance. Thanks again for all of your great work. You and your work are a true gift! Jessica Kerry: Hi Dr Cabral,  I wake many times durning the night feeling stiff and uncomfortable, I usually roll to my other side or to my back and get back to sleep quickly only to wake again later. I also wake most mornings with a dull headache. What could be causing this?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1324 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1322: The NASA Study on Air Pollutants & How to Remove Them Naturally (TT)

Every once in awhile the government decides to look at natural ways to reduce pollution and "detoxify" the world we live in... This was just the case with the NASA Clean Air Study that looked at the top plants for removing harmful invisible gases and other toxins from the air we breathe inside our homes and offices... Like most studies, the actual research can seem confusing at first glance, which is why I wanted to take all that data and break it down in a very actionable way...

1320: The Truth Behind How Much Sleep You Need Per Night (Kids too) (TWT)

1318: Zeolite Spray, PCOS Revisited, Small Polyp, Best Natural Birth Control, Children’s Heavy Metal, Black Walnut Hulls Substitute (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Carey:I’m hoping you can share your opinion on advanced Zeolite spray for detoxing. Thanks! Shivani: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a question for your podcast please.I am 25 with pcos and endometriosis, i’ve been taking berberine for the past 9 months but I have heard it isn’t advisable to take it long term. I am scared to stop because it is supposed to be antimicrobial so i’m scared i will develop breakouts if i stop? I hardly get the flu ie once in the last 3 years!Whilst this is convenient, does it mean my immune system is on overdrive from low level inflammation?  Lastly whenever I take calcium d glucarate i notice a correlation with under eye bags - do you know the connection? Please help! You are seriously the best and I am forever grateful for the efforts you go to for others!  Kind regards,  Shivani Jackie: Dear Dr Cabral,  I wanted to say Hello and a big thank you for your wonderful podcasts and your resource of information available. I’m currently reading , The Rain Barrel Effect and finding it super informative and can't put in down. I needed some advice on a Uterine polyp,  I very recently had a check up with my gynaecologist and she discovered a small polyp (around 5 millimetres). I was concerned if this may cause a problem for my health and fertility down the track? Im 35 and would like to have a family in the next couple of years.  I try to live a clean lifestyle, I don’t drink, eat a plant based diet, try to avoid process foods, exercise regularly, steer away as much as possible from chemical use in my home and on my body, I’ve never taken the pill and are not on any medication. I have a regular cycle each month. What would be the underlying cause of this issue? A possible hormonal in-balance?  I'm not currently able to get testing through your clinch as I’m based in Germany. But what would be my next step in terms of treatment, or supplements if needed. Many Thanks Jackie Kerry: Hello Doctor, Can a child (aged 5) complete the Heavy Metal Detox? Is there a lesser dose they should have of each supplement? If the protocol is not suitable for children how would you go about helping a child detox heavy metals?Looking forward to hearing your response. Thanks Dr Cabral!Regards Kerry Neeks: Hey, Dr Cabral. Great show as always. Just wondering in your medical experience what would you say is the best form of birth control for a woman. I understand each has its pros & cons and many can alter hormones and what not. Out of the available options can you say which one or two in your opinion is effective and has the least health drawbacks. Thank you. Looking forward to your response Tori: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am very allergic to nuts (I go into anaphylaxis upon ingestion), but I suspect I have SIBO or Candida overgrowth. Would love to take your SIBO/Candida protocol, but noticed it uses black walnut hull. Are there any alternatives to the protocol? Or anything I can replace the black walnut hull products with? Hoping there is another supplement I can use to remove the SIBO/Candida.  Thanks so much for your help and for everything you do!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1318 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1317: Psychedelic Mushrooms, Barrett’s Esophagus, Pyrrole Test, Pear Shaped, Heavy Legs, Pus Filled Bumps, Aging Aches & Pains, Muscle Pump Supplements (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Elise: Hello dr Cabral! I recently discovered this podcast and I absolutely love it! The past few months I’ve been hearing more and more about people doing psychedelic mushrooms and having positive mental/spiritual effects. I have always been very sceptic to everything that effects my brain and that is out of my control, but it peaked my interest. I know they have been commonly used in rituals in many ancient cultures, especially in South America. I just wanted to get your thoughts on the matter. Do you think that it could have a positive effect? (of course it has to be organically grown and from a good source). What are the potential side effects? Thank you in advance! Rosie: Hi Dr Stephen Cabral,I am Rosie, from south -Africa-I am currently studying your IHP course level 1,2 but have a situation with my husband regarding GERD, Barrett’s esophagus and acid reflux PPI.My husband swallowed a camera and got his results back that he has Barrett’s and his dad has this done 7 months ago and had the same results. His dad had an operation done and I am trying to get my husband to not “just cut out” as the recovery is weeks of a liquid diet ect and you can never vomit again if ill... my husband is 34 and weighs 117kg he needs to lose weight, he struggles badly with leaky gut specially feels the effects of gluten with bloating and I am sure he has a bacteria overgrowth. I am putting him on your meal plan for weight loss to loose the weight first.Please could you guide us into the right direction.Do you know of Labs that can be done in South Africa? Our exchange rate is very bad and would love to run labsThanks so much, Kind regards Rosie Samantha: Hi Stephen, I love your podcasts, thank you for providing so much amazing insightful information. The rain barrel effect in one of my Favourite reads. I think it should be in every library world wide !My question is - what do you think of the Pyrrole test ? Is it important ? What sort of conditions can it pick up ? I have had anxiety and depression /mood swings for many many years. Going back to my teenage years , which was over 20 years ago. A friend suggested it might be worth me having the Pyrrole test. Thank you and can't wait to hear your thoughts Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral! What advice do you have for individuals with lipedema? I struggled to lose weight in my heavy thighs/bottom half for decades- eating extremely cleanly, starving myself, severely restricting calories, and eventually resorting to bulimia because of my extreme pear shaped body. Then, I discovered there is a condition called lipedema that makes it impossible to lose fat in these regions. Apparently, the only reliable "treatment" is liposuction. Please help! Kristen: Hi Dr Cabral. Reading your book and listening to your podcasts has really helped me understand a lot of my health dis-eases. One problem that I have been facing is heavy legs. It all started after an intense SIBO & parasite protocol and I believe my detox pathways were not well supported. I began to gain weight after a stressful time. That winter I had horrible depression, fatigue (only 2,000 a day) really cold, and could hardly climb stairs. My thought is that my lymphatic system started to get clogged. I have brain fog and developing varicose veins, but i also have all sorts of gut infections and mold toxicity. Someone told me it could be from hormone imbalances (have that too) or else from the mold. My thyroid is optimal now from medication, but still have the heavy legs. what could it be from, and what could i do? Thanks! Matt: Hi Dr.Cabral, I'm writing in for about my friend's condition. He's not into alternative medicine and a holistic approach to health yet so I was hoping you could shed light on a starting point for his illness. He has pus filled bumps on the back of his head. Some as large as a nickel and they don't seem to come to head like an average face pimple. From a far it looks like he's balding with little patches all over his head but really they are these pus filled bumps. He is currently taking accutane with results on body and face acne but not for his head condition. Any thoughts on what might be causing this or what tests should be done to find the root cause Lawson: Hey Dr. Cabral. This is the best podcast ever. Quick question. Many of my peers, coworkers, family, online strangers tend to complain about knee and back pains when they're approaching the age of 30. Some were never involved in sport or got injured. They just feel pain. Is that part of the so-called aging process? I am 34 years old suffered injuries from sport, but I am currently without any pain or joint issue. Is there anything I can do from your expertise to avoid the niggling pains they're going through or is it inevitable? Is there anything I can recommend to them to alleviate their plight? Keep up great work Darron: Hey Dr. Cabral. Are there any drawbacks from using the supplements l arginine, l-citrulline and beta alanine for training purposes? Also are there benefits to using them for persons who don't train but are otherwise active like my dad who's 61. Keep up great work Doc   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1317 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1313: How to Decide What Form of Medicine Is Best for You (TWT)

We live in a world right now where “might makes right” and that there can be only 1 best form of anything... That means you’re told you should narrow your focus to only 1 interest or modality and accept it as the winner... What happens in this common scenario is that you miss out on the benefits of every other area... And you typically don’t get the results you’re looking for (especially when it comes to healing and weight loss) since you most likely don’t “fit nicely into one box...” That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 1313 I want to share with you the best form of medicine - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1313 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Susanne:Hi! The last year I have been getting tons of Cherry Angiomas appearing on my skin. I have no idea what the root cause might be. What makes them appear? What is the root cause? I am not pregnant or on birth control. If you had them, or they started appearing on your skin, Dr. Cabral, what would you do yourself to prevent getting more of them? Jennette: Hello, I finished the CBO protocol at the end of May but then I developed these small dry red patches under my eyes and on my right eye lid. I have been applying colloidal silver ointment which helps to clear it up but if I stop, it just comes back. it gets dry and flaky and someone was saying that it is eczema. I've never had this before and wondered what could be causing it? Valeria: Based off your podcasts on the emf vibrations impacting human vibration which can cause illness like cancer whats your take on fat loss ultrasonic devices? Tina: I am a personal trainer (who also thinks like a functional medicine practitioner!) and am working with a client who was recently diagnosed with sarcoidosis. Her health provider helped her link the root cause to exposure to bat or/and chicken manure. What are the essential next steps for this client? And if steroids are recommended, is this the best answer? Morgan: hi! what would you recommend for someone who has liver and colon cancer? Just wasn't sure which products to start with. thanks! Mishan: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm so grateful to you for everything you do - you have changed my life for the best and I cannot thank you enough. My question is this - my aunt has rheumatoid arthritis and has been on steroids and biological meds for 30 years now. She does not want my help from IHP training, and instead she's considering stem cell treatment since she heard it "eliminates inflammation." I've understood that stem cells act more like anti-inflammatory substances in the body and do not address root causes. Can you speak about how stem cells work for RA - do they eliminate the root cause of the autoimmunity or are they still a bandaid approach? Thank you!! Kim: Hello Dr. Cabral, my name is Kim and I am 52 and have had Juvenile Type 1 Diabetes for 36 years. I have worn a insulin pump for the past 15 years. My last A1C was 6.1 and I fluctuates on my A1C between 5.7 to 6.3. I have been Keto for a year and half now and feel it has really helped with my blood sugars. I do IF daily for about 14-16 hours and eat 2 meals a day. I eat very clean with an occasional cheat meal or dessert for birthdays or holidays. I also belong to a gym and work out 3-4 days a week. My question is you don't recommend the keto diet and you encourage 3 meals a day and the first meal of the day being a smoothie. How does a diabetic adapt to that way of eating without needing added insulin? I keep my carbs below 50grams a day . I have food sensitivities to dairy and eggs and shell fish. I am also post menopausal and have digestive issues. I am not overweight I am 5'6 and weight 140 wear a size 6 in clothes. But I don't feel 100%. I wake up stiff and achy and actually dread going to bed because i do not sleep well and toss and turn all night do to aches and pains. Would love to hear you do an episode or 2 on Type 1 diabetes. Raj: Dear All,  I am keen undertaking the IHP training course offered by Dr Stephen Cabral and also would like to take the Big '5' Lab test. I love to workout and play football, go running, carry-out yoga and hit work outs regularly. I am from an Asian-Indian background, my father has Type 2 diabetes (is not too overweight but is heavy around the stomach) and mother is marginally obese but has never been diagnosed with anything. I would like to avoid this in the future. Before I go ahead, can you please tell me how I can prepare for tests and which tests I may need to improve my fitness and health. Although I am not a severe case but I do have mild symptoms of anxiety and depression (currently lowering medication off Sertraline). I have also taken live bacteria, to try and combat any bad bacteria. Diet has now changed to plain rice, carrot juice, loads of veg and salad and fish. However too much salad causes diarrhoea. I would really like to get better and help myself, so one day I can help others. I hope you can help me.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1311 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1310: Encopresis, Food Mixing Examples, Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia, Oxidative Stress Herbs, Alcohol & Heart Rate, Nano Hydroxyapatite, Antibiotic Induced Gut Issues (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Justin: This is a question for the podcast, or feel free to email me back.  So i have a friend with an 11 year old boy.  He's been struggling with encopresis since he first started potty training.  His mother has taken him to many Doctors and specialists, and yet know one has really helped him.  My thought is bacterial overgrowth and poor diet, but what are your suggestions on this.  I would love to help this kid and see him gain more self confidence as he gets closer to junior high and high school. Allison: Hi Dr Cabral, I’ve learned so much from your podcasts and through the Rain Barrel Effect- I wanted to dive deeper on Food Combining and what foods you would suggest go well together and an example of what that would look like in a typical day? Looking forward to learning more! Thank you! Allison Uju: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m a huge fan of your podcast and grateful for your dedication to your work. I know you’ve covered alopecia in previous house calls but I don’t think I’ve heard a podcast covering scarring forms of alopecia, specifically. I’m a Nigerian woman in my mid-20s with a form of scarring alopecia called CCCA (Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia). It progresses very slowly, so I’m not quite sure when it started but I’ve had it for at least 8 years. Another symptom I have other than hair loss is an occasional sharp, piercing pain when I touch parts of my scalp. The cause of CCCA isn’t really known but it’s thought to be auto-immune: my body is attacking my hair follicles and replacing it with scar tissue. In my case specifically, I think CCCA may have been sparked by scalp burns I got from a chemical hair straightener when I was younger.I’ve been to dermatologists, gotten a scalp biopsy, but haven’t been offered much help. I know the already scarred-over follicles are done for, but I need advice regarding how to completely halt the progression of the alopecia. It progresses so slowly that I can’t tell if it’s active or not right now, but I don’t want to take any chances. I don’t live in a country that Equilibrium Nutrition delivers products to. Regardless, I'm curious what kinds of functional medicine tests you would recommend? And what protocols you would recommend if testing can’t be done?Thank you. Rachel: Good evening, My name is Rachel.For a few years now I have religiously used Dr. Cabrals detox and put many friends and family members on it as well. I am looking to ask Dr. Cabral a few questions about an natural all vegan product composed of five herbs that has proven to reduce oxidative stress by 40% in 30 days and up to 70% all together. I have asked many physicians about this product as I work in the medical field but really feel Dr.Cabrals insight would be unmatched. I wouldn't need much time at all I would just like to send him an informational video in order to get his opinion on this product as I don't want to take it if he does not agree.  Thank you so much in advance. Anonymous: Hi Doctor Cabral. Sometimes the day after I drink alcohol I feel my heart beating a little harder and faster. I particularly notice it when I am sitting or laying still. It can also be irregular sometimes but not often. I know that my body is reacting to the alcohol in someway but I’d like to know what the reaction is and is it something to be concerned with? Thank you. Sarah: I just found out about nano hydroxyapatite, what is Dr Cabral’s view on it?  This is what I could find out. It is a product used for remineralization. NASA discovered and used it in the early 1970s to remineralize astronaughts bones after extended time in space. A Japanese company bought the patent and has been manufacturing it in toothpaste and oral products ever since. The best points: it has no known toxicity and can be safely swallowed by children. Even better, in several studies it outperformed fluoride. Only known issues with it is it can have rare toxicity or allergy issues when taken as an internal supplement. But this is rare and not associated with oral use. Nano hydroxyapatite has been the Japanese gold standard for oral remineralization and care for over 30 plus years.  I haven't tried it yet but I’m interested to try it if it’s considered safe. My teeth are not really ok with 100% natural toothpaste unfortunately. I currently use the one with fluoride but in a natural base and would love to use something better. Jim: Hi Dr. Cabral, My name is Jim, and I recently discovered you, your clinic, and podcast after watching your presentation in the Retrovirus Summit. I have been to a few functional medicine practitioners in the past 6 years with little luck, and listening to your methods for helping people with various health problems really resonated with me. You have a different approach than most practitioners and are not focused on one single diet, which is really refreshing. You really do help the individual and are not tied to a one size fits all model. Thank you for this. I would appreciate any feedback you can provide for me based on the following timeline and my symptoms. I hope this formatted list makes it easy for you to get thru all the information.Age 11 - bad case of food poisoning (2 weeks)Age 13 - Developed acne, blackheads, etc.Did a course of AccutaneHorrible side effects. Ended up with very dry skin and symptoms of RosaceaAge 13-26 - Stayed pretty much acne free during this time, but still had the Rosacea and dry skin. Always anxious, nervous stomach, low confidence, and skin issues occurred during this time.Age 27 - Diagnosed with Testicular Cancer Surgery to remove tumor After remission I had my wisdom teeth removed, then had to go back because a bone fragment was left behind.3 Months after remission my Acne returned. I was devastated. The cancer, the issue with my wisdom teeth, and the return of my acne was really a cycle of multiple traumas that created a perfect storm of issues.Lots of tests and lots of money spent on alternative methods OAT test in 2013 shows high bad bacteria and deficiencies in good bacteria and minerals. I've done multiple food sensitivity panels, stool tests, and recently a SIBO test (came back negative).Did an Upper Endoscopy and it showed I had esophagitis and gastritis, both not chronic.Underweight - I am 5'-10" and 125 lbs. My most recent functional medicine practitioner had me on Low Carb, and I went down to 120 lbs. I seem to only put on weight when I eat enough carbs. Lots of food sensitivities I recently did muscle testing, and it showed that my thyroid was the weakest, and that I have a fungal issue. I have left that facility due to the inconsistent feedback I was receiving. They did not believe in lab testing. I am a very analytical person, and I like/need to see numbers and trends to know if my health is going in the right direction. Otherwise you are just taking someone's WORD for it. Hard to trust in that situation. I have started to develop more skin issues recently as well. I feel like I have had a bacterial issue since I had the food poisoning and the rain barrel has been filling up ever since. Symptom overview: Acne, Eczema, Sebb Derm, Rosacea Tinnitus Food Sensitivities Brain Fog Fear, Anxiety Low Libido Low Self-Esteem due to skin and weight Suspected low stomach acid; Did the baking soda test and did not burp; Tried 3 straight mornings I am looking to get updated on all my testing and start from a fresh baseline. What would be the best order to do the testing, if I am unable to afford all of them at once? If one of your recommendations is the Dr. Cabral Detox, then how do I keep from losing weight during the detox. Thanks for your time Dr. Cabral and for all the help and hope you give to people like me that are looking for alternative methods to find the root cause of our heath problems.

1307: This Single Vitamin Extends Life & Boosts Immunity (WW)

Although I'm a big proponent of nutritional supplements they are typically used incorrectly: • Too low a dose is used so there is no clinical benefit • Higher dosages than necessary are taken for too long • The wrong form of a vitamin or mineral is used so the absorption is poor • Symptoms alone are not the best indicator of toxicity or deficiency However, all of these issues stated above are easily correctable... And, when you do take the right dosage of high-quality nutritional supplements the results are astounding! So on today's #CabralConcept 1307 I'm going to share an example with you of a single vitamin that has been clinically proven to extend life and boost immunity - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1307 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1306: Mystery Illness Solved: Client Case Study (TWT)

I never want to seem like I am not grateful or amazed by conventional medicine... But the truth is that the scope in which they practice is severely limited... Again, this is not any doctor’s fault, but rather the time they have allotted for each patient and the system that they’ve been taught to work within... The problem is that countless patients each year suffer due to a failed system that is uninterested at looking at root causes... This means that people are being diagnosed with “diseases” that very well may have correctable imbalances that would add years to their life and life to their years...

1304: Hodgkins Lymphoma, Stomach Issues for Life, Marijuana for Healing, Emotional Flushing, Hormone Testing, Massive Bloating Issues (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Sue: Hi Stephen, I live on the Sunshine Coast in QLD Australia and have been following your podcasts for awhile now since Melissa and Nick had you on her show etc. You are amazing and I will do your course in the future but at the present my 24 year old daughter is going through a journey with Stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma. She was diagnosed in 2016 when she was 21 and started ABVD chemotherapy. She completed 2 rounds and her PET scan showed it had reduced 75%. She then decided to heal naturally. She did that for 18 months with a naturopath and did vitamin c infusions, hyperthermia, colonics,coffee enemas, juices, supplements etc. After 18 months it had increased and she had to have a rod put in her hip down her thigh prior to chemo as the cancer had eroded a chunk out of her femur. She did 4 cycles of ICE chemo and had her stem cells taken for a transplant in the future. She went into complete metabolic remission but relapsed 3 weeks later so they ditched the idea of using her own cells and chemo and she went on Brentuximab immunotherapy. Did 6 cycles of that. It started reducing but then increased so is currently on Pembrolizumab which showed it was reducing but the latest scan showed a slight increase in the node in her neck and while her body was stable in the last scan there is now one tiny lesion back in her spine. They are talking radiation for her neck but with no guarantee that it wont come back. I think we need to find out why her body isn't healing with your help if possible. We have limited funds so maybe we could start like you did with your healing and start with a couple of tests first with your recommendations. I hope this gets to you. I wasn't sure if this is the correct way to contact you. Have a great day Kind regards Sue James: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and trying to help as many people as you can. I was recommended to you by a friend who had bad anxiety and after doing your detox and CBO protocols, you have changed her life.I apologize for the long store but here is a quick background on me. I have had stomach issues throughout my life which spiked about 5 years ago after a night out drinking too much. After 9 months of seeing doctors, losing 26kg (57 pounds) due to everything I ate made me sick, and barely being able to leave the house, I was told I had helicobacter pylori and a retrovirus by a naturopath. He was able to fix me within 3 months and I haven't had many stomach issues since then, except for some strange food sensitivities. About 1 and 1/2 years ago I was on a plane and had a panic attack out of nowhere, I'm not afraid of flying so this was strange for me. Even after a few days the anxiety remained and made it hard for me to go to work and get on a bus (because it reminded me of a plane). I am an equity research analyst so I like to research things. I started to try and work out what I had introduced into my life that may have caused the anxiety to come on, as the only time I had experienced anxiety before was from taking something I shouldn't have (drugs) or too much pre-workout. I realized that the only thing I had changed was I had introduced Dymista 125/50, a steroidal nasal spray, due to being highly allergic to dust mites. I then started to research the correlation of this an anxiety and found a few forums with hundreds of people having the same issues as I was. I then started to focus on studies and came across a few that found that steroidal nasal sprays can cause the deregulation of Cortisol production and the HPA axis. Then after researching high cortisol levels, I found that many of the symptoms of high cortisol, I had. I went to the doctor to get tested and of course, it came back in a safe range as it was a blood test and only once during the day, not capturing my circadian rhythm. However, my blood sugar was very high and she was concerned I was getting diabetes. I wasn't surprised by this as I thought that the Cortisol/Insulin correlation would be causing this, do you agree? Furthermore, I am unable to eat any sugar (including fruit) because it makes my anxiety much worse. I additionally can't have coffee and cocoa anymore because it increases my anxiety but not instantly like I have experienced before if I had too much caffeine or pre-workout but 30 min to 1 hour later. Is this because they are raising my already high cortisol levels? I decided I needed to get my cortisol properly tested so I did the DUTCH test, which as I expected showed I had extremely high cortisol levels, with my other hormones generally in the normal range. Before being recommended to you, I had seen many naturopaths and specialists that have given me many different supplements to try and help my anxiety and lower my cortisol but nothing has helped. I also have noticed that the 4 times I have supplemented with vitamin B it has increased my anxiety. Due to this, I thought maybe I had MTHFR so the last naturopath tried methylated vitamin B and folic acid but this only made me worse after about a week.  After listening to your podcasts, helping my friend, and hearing that you had similar issues yourself, I trusted you would know how to help me. Due to a shortage of money and already doing the DUTCH test, I decided to start with the 21-day detox, which I had to stop after 1.5 weeks because my anxiety got a lot worse, which I assume was caused again by the vitamin B in the shakes. I was fine for the first week but after that, the anxiety came on a lot stronger, which is what has happened the other times I have had vitamin B. I have now just started the CBO program as this is what helps fix my friend with her anxiety and I thought maybe my anxiety is being caused by all my previous stomach issues in the past, although my stomach hasn't gotten worse since my anxiety started. However, I know that your stomach plays an important role in the production of neurotransmitters. I am also taking your Adrenal Sooth and CBD oil, although the CBD oil hasn't seemed to help which I was surprised by after researching it. I feel like the Adrenal sooth is helping a little but I have only been on it for 3 weeks and I know that it will take time to lower my cortisol. My question is, if the anxiety doesn't subside after finishing the CBO and gut healing, what should be my next steps as I feel like I would have done everything possible and using your right supplements and protocols? Also is it possible for you to give an explanation of what you think maybe wrong with me and what is causing the anxiety and high cortisol? Amy: Is marijuana okay to be used while healing? We live in a state where it is legal so I see a lot of people who use it.  Anxiety seems to be the number one reason my clients use it. Is this allowed or does it stop the healing process? Luann: Hello, Dr. Cabral! I am a 51 year old woman who has been experiencing hot flashes for 4 years. I have followed the recommendations in your hot flash podcast 968. In the past 6 months, I have completed the 21-day detox, the parasite protocol, the CBO protocol / CBO finisher, the heavy metal detox, and deep sleep protocol. I have been following the DESTRESS protocol and trying to reduce the stress in my life. I take the Daily Foundational Protocol Level 3, thyroid support, estrogen balance, adrenal soothe, magnesium, zinc, CBD oil, B complex, vitamin C, and vitamin D. The frequency and intensity of my hot flashes have greatly reduced, but still occur approximately 4 times / day. I notice my hot flashes often coincide with an emotional response such when I feel embarrassed, shame, worried, or made a mistake. They decrease when I am taking better care of myself, having a lower stress day, and when I am on vacation. Could you please explain in this HouseCall or in a future podcast why hot flashes occur. What are the physiological mechanisms in the body that bring them about? What are the deficiencies and toxicities that lead to hot flashes? Do histamines have anything to do with hot flashes / flushing? Why did you have hot flashes / flushing when you were sick at 17? My 15 year old son heavily blushes whenever he is embarrassed. His blushing began when he was 13 and started to go through puberty. Is blushing like this the same as hot flashes? What do you recommend I do to help my son reduce or get rid of his blushing? Also, do you have any additional recommendations for me? Thank you! Jody: Hi there, I’m from Australia an am looking at starting somewhere with the Stephen Cabral tests or wellness plan. Just deciding on best first step for me based on my budget and what to prioritise first.  I currently take a natural thyroid extract 97.5mg and have been taking thyroid medication for around 8yrs. I’m also taking DHEA, and Indoplex (for estrogen balancing) along with other vitamins etc. I try and eat gluten and dairy free but can still have suffer from stomach issues so I am keen to try the food sensitivity test to get some clarity on what foods to stop eating. Could you maybe recommend a good starting point for me on a lower budget? Or am I better off saving until I can afford the “Big 5” tests which saiid amazing. Also my doctor says I won’t be able to stop taking thyroid medication ever - is this true? Thanks so much for your time,Kind regards,Jodie Harmony: Hi Stephen, Firstly I would LOVE to thank you for everything that you are doing, I listen to your podcast most days and have learnt so much from you :)  I do however, have a question (or story) for you and feel like you may be my last hope of finding any resolution.I suffer with IBS-C and bloating + (abdominal distention) daily. It feel that it has become more problematic and prevelant post kids (I have twins who just turned 7yrs old).I am extremely frustrated as I have tried every diet under the sun (except histamine which is next step). I have followed FODMAP for quite some time with minimal relief. I have seen naturopaths, nutritionist, doctors, gastroenterologist, dieticians and have just finished a 21 day Panchakarma with my Ayurvedic doctor. I was very disheartend with my Panchakarma detox results - I literally felt no difference, my bloating was constant the whole time and I was still getting consitpated (having to take coloxyl & movicol) ... until a little relief from the 5 days of enemas. I have low Agni and was undergoing the Panchakarma for a Vata imbalance, although the reason for going was to discuss my IBS. I have a Vata-Pitta Prikruti. I guess I was even more so disapointed because I have done a lot of study in Ayurveda and believed in this system, it was my last hope. (Plus I actually put on 1.5kg doing it!!!).Post Panchakarma I was talking with my naturopath friend who suggested my bloating may be because of Histamine intolerance which made sense to me as I have always associated my more server bloating with my hormonal cycle, in particular at ovulation and then again when i menstruate. She suggested I tried the anti histamine diet however I feel that It will just be one more diet I restrict myself on with little changes or will not be able to stick to it long term.My background:Physically fit, I train 5 days per week (it was 6 but cut it down or will just do yoga or pilates on the 6th day). My training consists of running, Muay thai boxing, 9 rounds, Pilates, Yoga, Spin, Body weight exercises & light weights.I am a registered Nurse but have cut my shifts down to 1x week as I teach multiple Yoga & pilates classes per week as well as run workshops & retreats. I also run a small business (activewear label). I feel that I should be 2kg lighter then what I am considering the exercise and clean diet. I put on 1.5kg from the Panchakarma!!! so know im probabaly 3.5kg over weight, I know that doesnt sound like much but I am only 162 cm, now weighing 59kg and for me that is uncomfortable (I feel that i retain fluid) & then I get the bloating daily on top of all that. It has been messing with my mind as there is sooooo much conflicting information out there and I feel that i have tried it all with out any sustainable success. All the 'diets' contradict each other and limit really healthy foods (for some).I am sooooooo confused!!!! PLEASE HELP ME. I want to live my life without having to worry about packing spare cloths for when the boating kicks in and I can not fit in to my pants or top at the end of the day... I actually have stopped going out in the evenings. I want to get back to a confortable weight for me and a flat tummy, minus thge occassional mood swings too. Thank you :)   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1304 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1303: DIM Supplement, Candibactin AR, Best Degree, Leukocyte Disorders, Cyst Prevention, POIS Sex Symptoms (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Janice: Would you please give the benefits of taking the dim supplement on one of your podcasts? Tyson: Hello, What do you know about Candibactin AR? I’m about 2/3 of the way through the CBO protocol in hopes of getting rid of acne on my face, chest and back. Up to this point I’ve had reduced acne on my face, but not as much progress with my chest or back. A family friend of mine just told me her daughter took Candibactin AR to help her with acne and she got great results - is this something I could start taking during my CBO protocol? Or should I wait till it’s done? Or should I skip trying this supplement all together? Thank you! Tyson Erica: Hey Dr. Cabral! I actually have a career question for you today. I am recently out of college, and just finished up your IHP level 1 and level 2 courses. They were fantastic. After seeing what you've done, I have to say I'd like to continue down a similar path. So I have a few questions about what your opinion is for different doctorate degrees. Financially speaking, an MD seems like a safer path, as I can always diverge back into a functional practice, but it seems to be longer - around 5-8 years. I would have to take out loans for this, so it seems like a "financially" safer way. But the thing is -- I am definitely most interested in helping / healing others in a natural way. And I'm not sure if it's worth it to commit that much time going down the MD path when I could keep my focus on what I want my true expertise to be. The thing about becoming an ND is though, the salary might be much lower out of school, it could be harder to pay off debt, and I've heard you mention before that ND school isn't the same as it has always been from an educational standpoint. So basically, my question is, if you had to do this all over again.. what path would you choose? Where do you think one could receive the BEST education for learning to heal others from a foundational standpoint? Does it involve leaving the US altogether? Which countries seem to be the most advanced in these methodologies? Being able to take insurance is another "safe" side of this, but I've also heard you mention that you choose not to be insured anyways so you can practice the way you'd like to practice. Thanks so so much in advance! Looking forward to hearing your response! Elizabeth: Hello Doc, I'm one of your IHP students and I feel beyond grateful to be part of your community. I have a client with Leukocyte Disorders, every 2-3 months he wakes up at night with fever above 103° and no other symptoms except for extreme fatigue. When that happens, his conventional Docs treat him with cortisone and Tylenol. He's doing the 21 days DCD protocol, eating healthy + meditation everyday. He is 25 y.o. He has also a history of Cytomegalovirus and Mononucleosis (looks like his immune system is quite weakened) I really would love to help him, besides Adrenal lab testing (that i've already recommended) do you have any suggestion? Thank you for your time and everything you do to empower people with knowledge. The world needs more Dr Cabral! :) Bernice: Hi Dr. Cabral,  I recently had to have a 12 cm ovarian cyst removed surgically. The OBGYN was recommending to take birth control after the surgery to help prevent future cysts from growing. Are there any holistic/naturopathic remedies to help with preventing future cyst issues? Thank you! Steve: Hi Dr. Cabral,What can you tell me about POIS? Though I have a host of issues, one that is particularly concerning as of late is when my wife and I have sex, I experience fatigue, extreme back pain, racing heart, flu-like symptoms, and brain fog for up to a week afterwards. Could this be POIS or something else? I have already ordered your Big 5 lab tests, so I’m hoping some of the results can bring some clarity to my situation.

1300: The Exact Times to Drink Water During the Day (WW)

We’ve all heard the advice that you need to be drinking 8 glasses of water per day, but what does this really mean anyway? Should a 100 lb person be drinking the same amount as a 200 lb person? And, can you just consume all 8 glasses at once? Or, do you need to be drinking each glass at a specific time during the day for better absorption? Clearly, this general outdated advice that everyone should consume 8 glasses of water per day needs to be updated… So on today’s #CabralConcept 1300 I will be sharing with you the exact times to drink water during the day (and how much) - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1300 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1299: How to Finally Heal Your Digestion (CBO Protocol Specifics) (TWT)

I made a promise many years ago that if I ever figured out how to get well I would share it with the world... About 15 years ago I started to make good on that promise and I haven't stopped since...

This means if you have bloating, gas, acid reflux, cramping, weak digestion, constipation, loose stool, or any number of other issues pertaining to the gut we can help you (and we've been fortunate to have helped thousands of people just like you)...

1298: The 7 Steps That Make Up Every Successful Morning Routine (MM)

I personally don't think that morning routines get enough credit for the success that they create (or don't create) in people's lives...

1297: Systemic Enzymes, GERD, Mononucleosis, Body Transformation, Saccromyces Boulardii, Hot Flushes, Oily Skin (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Nicole: Hey Dr Cabral,I have to start with saying thank you for putting all of your work out into the world, you're doing great work and I'm loving IHP level 1 & 2! My question today is about systemic enzymes. My partner has had a lot of surgery in the past and was asking about them, I'd love to know your thoughts on them. How they work, if you believe they are effective and maybe other alternatives if you think there are any. Many thanks from New Zealand Rudy: Hello Dr Cabral. My brother has been dealing with GERD/acid reflux for most of his life. He is 31 years old and about 100lbs over weight. when he was in his early 20’s he had ulcers in his throat that were caused by his acid reflux. They were successfully treated by a Gi specialist with nexium and diet change. The diet change basically lasted for as long as it took to heal the ulcers then he went back to his old ways. Recently he has told me he is quite sure he has them again. I’m encouraging him get a scope and make sure it’s not anything more serious but to then to go a natural route and to change his diet. he is a chef at a restaurant that doesn’t serve the healthiest food and this also makes it hard for him to not eat all the time. He also has late hours,high stress,out of the norm meal times and the lifestyle of a chef which involves a good amount of drinking after work. What, if anything, can he do to heal these naturally along with a diet change? He’s convinced he can’t heal them without a Rx but if there was Anything along with diet change that you think would would work I believe he would be willing to try it. Thanks for doing what you do, you’ve changed my life I hope you can help change my brother’s. Judy: What is your protocol for someone with mononucleosis Hunter: Hey team, I am beginning my wellness journey after find Dr. Cabral through the apple podcast app and getting a copy of the Rain Barrel Effect. Love the content! My symptoms are aligning up with thyroid and adrenal issues, but we will see what the labs say! I purchased a daily protocol level 3 because it is a protocol I have been looking for for years. I also plan on purchasing the big 5 labs, and a detox package at the end of the week. With this being my first detoxification, I am inclined to purchase the 21-day detox to start fresh, however, I am already a relatively skinny guy and a hard gainer at 6'5 ~205 pounds and ~ 20% body fat. I am worried that losing upwards of 15 pounds, I would look too skinny and look like a bobblehead. My end goal is to lessen my overall body fat with detoxification, or elimination diet (~15%), find total mind-body balance with the lab testing and build enough muscle mass to remain in a 210-220 weight range. I have no desire to be in bodybuilding physique, however, a strong, clean, athletic build is what I am after. My fear is dropping down to 190 and not being able to recover to a higher mass size that I am after with a vegetable-based diet, but I have also never tried. At 23, with my hormones balancing out, the additional weight could be added in muscle mass within a few months of resistance training. Why? - In the past, I have found that people treated me with higher regards, relationships were easier, and a rise in overall confidence when I am in this stature. Currently, at an out of shape 205, I don't feel the same connections with others. Hard to explain, but easy to see and feel. I am a former college athlete and believe my athletic performance peaked around my sophomore year with size, strength, and skill. As a pitcher, my velocity was the highest it had ever been. I then began to notice a decline even though the intensity remained relatively the same. Over two seasons my velocity fell from career-high numbers around 88-90mph to well below 80 mph my senior year. Still relatively healthy, no major surgeries or procedures, just tendonitis, and inflammation occurred. I am working with a physical therapist to work on my muscle imbalances at the moment, but I have to imagine the toxicity in my mind and body played a significant role in my performance decline. My sophomore year, hard work seemed fun, I looked forward to difficult tasks and completing them. I was in uncharted territory for myself because I had never felt like that before. Where now, they seem more of a burden and the drive is not as present as it used to be, and I want to correct that. I have realistic expectations that this shift will require some hard work and drive, but part of me imagines that I will be more inclined to do so when my body is in balance. Issues of anxiety, depression, low mood and lack of ambition have begun to spike over the past few years in ways they have never done so before. I have always felt like I had low testosterone for my age, and after listening to a few podcast shows and hearing all of the many ways this could have happened, I am now inclined to take back my body and begin living well again.  With this being my first detox, should I complete a 21-day detox or begin to complete 7-day detoxes on quarterly bases all while making lifestyle changes to reduce stress?  Thanks for the content and supplementation. I look forward to working with your team through my wellness journey Karen: Hello, I have recently completed a food intolerance test which showed a mild intolerance to yeast. Would this include an intolerance to Saccromyces Boulardii? Thank you for all your knowledge sharing and wisdom. Your podcasts have changed my outlook on life and health. Thank you Shae: Hi Dr Cabral, I absolutely love listening to your podcast, you are a gifted presenter and make understanding information really easy! My question is about menopause. I want to know how to re-balance my body to stop hot flushes and night sweats. I am a healthy woman in my early 50's, with no stress other than menopause and have been having flushes for 7 years. Soy oestrogen supplements help the flushes but at the cost of digestive upset, so I stopped them. Vitex helps all other menopause symptoms like dryness and I have no anxiety/depression, but have put about 10 pounds with no change in diet. I do intermittent fasting and now have no morning appetite and have noticed my metabolism has also slowed. I am not sure really what to do as the night sweats can be extreme, waking me up all night. One final strange thing, is I always get a big flush upon waking, day or night, even though I have just been sleeping and relaxed. All the literature I have read says its from hormone withdrawal, and I know in Japan for example they don't suffer from flushes, but what can a western women do without resorting to bio-identical hormones, which I feel are still HRT! Thank you in advance, I appreciate you! Jay: Hi Dr Cabral, Since coming off the contraceptive pill 2.5 years ago, my face has become very, especially around the nose, it also looks like I have oil coming out from my nostrils which I find very weird. This had made me feel self conscious. I haven't managed to get the cause with naturopaths, apparently my hormones now all look normal. I do drink 1 cup of coffee a day, do you think this contributes? I have completed your 7 day detox twice and candida and bacterial overgrowth protocol as I have had abdominal bloating. Overall I'm fairly healthy, any ideas on how to reduce oiliness in the skin or what could be causing it. Thanks for all the work you do and your time!

1296: Andrographis Paniculata, Mental Health, Upset Stomach, Swollen Tonsils, Brain Tumor, Baby Food Sensitivities, Doxycycline (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Lisa: I am looking for help on how to use andrographis paniculata? I was given a cutting at a local plant exchange & I understand it is also known as Indian Echinacea. I am excited to have it and I am looking to understand how it is used for medicine. Is it used in tea, is it dried out and ingested as a herb? It says it is bitter on some research I have done. It apparently is good for bites & stings too. Dr Stephen Cabral what would you suggest for dosage & use? Thank you gor your feedback Fiona: Hi there, I need some advice on where to get started with supplements and testing. Brief background. Im a 32 year old female and i live in Australia. I am about 165cm tall and about 59/62kgs. I dont have any health issues that I know of however I do suffer from anxiety, depression and OCD. I dont take anything for it and am highly functioning, I study full time as well as working full time. I study in the field of nutrition so I am knowledgeable and look after myself well, eating well 90% of the time and excerise (walking) 6 times per week. I suffer from quite extreme bloating, most obvious around the time of my menstrual cycle. My main concerns /problem areas are my mental state and gut health, which I understand are connected. I would prefer not to be medicated for my anixiety, OCD, depression. I am not at risk of harm to myself or others however it does weigh me down on a daily basis and I would like to try all avenues to get on top of it. What testing / supplements would you recommend I begin with?I appreciate your help.  Miren: Hi, I just completed the 21-Day Detox Diet. Although I did see some improvements, I feel like there are still many underlying root causes that still need to be addressed. Specifically, I do believe that I have issues with my cortisol levels, adrenals, thyroid, and bloating. Even on the detox, I was still experiencing bloating, gas and upset stomach after eating the approved foods.  I am having problems deciding which lab to purchase, the Thyroid+Adrenal or OAT +Food Sensitivity test, as I can only afford one lab at this time. I still have weight to lose that is not responsive to diet and exercise. However, I don't know if I should address my gut issues first? My concern is that If I choose to address my adrenals and thyroid first, then I will not see the best benefit because my gut issues will continue to cause the inflammation and bloating? Do I have that wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I do want to get better, but only have limited funds at this time (even with the new payment plans) **For reference, I am a 41 yr old female, 5'2 and 134lbs. I work out with weights 4 days a week, 2 HIIT sessions, 2 days a week jogging for 30 min. I have been on a low carb/keto diet for over 3 years. My body used to naturally sit at 120-123lbs without much effort, prior to me experiencing these weight and gut issues for the past 2 1/2 years. I started to have gut issues around 13 yrs old. I have also had ovarian cysts, ulcers, shingles in my early thirties, and also lost my period for 18 months after trying to diet down for a fitness competition ( I was able to get my period back after having to take progesterone from my doctor). I am really looking forward to your response and finally feeling like myself again! Thanks so much, Christinna: dear stephen  thanks for being my all time idol, mentor , king haha . i just LOVE how you go about.  i have a friend and her son has pfapa syndrome, he has been on antibiotic and one time steroid and gets sick 2 times a week , with his CRP numbers very high, tonsils swollen, sore body, spots on the tounge and now they are going to remove the tonsils, they say that the kids in 75 % of thus kind og auto immune gets better after removing them. i just wunder ,why? what is the underlying rootcause ? i have told her to do the CBO, childeren , and all in one, omega.is there anything else i am missing or should let her do? i really hope u can help,  kind regard christinna Sara: Hello Stephen Cabral, First of all I wanna thank you for all the work you do, for spreading all your knowledge and helping to so many people with your practice and your podcast. I am contacting you because my fiance´s dad had a brain tumor last year. After some treatment with chemotherapy and the latest laser systems that they have, here, in Sweden , the tumor run away. We are so glad and happy that it went well and now we are working in the recovery part. The thing is that the recovery is being really slow , is hard to see the steps and keep the motivation for him and also the rest of the family. Nonetheless, he did some improvements with physical theraphy, where he use to go ones per week and also my fiancé helps him to exercise ones per week or twice per week. However, the memory , the confusion and the disorientation is really hard to improve. He has no control of the time in the day, neither de day in the weeks. If we say that we have to meet in 2h , he may call you back after 15min and say that he is already at the place , thinking that is already the time. Latelly it has been going a little bit worse again and I wanted to ask you if there is any alternative medicine that can help him? And also if you could give us some tips to improve the recovery process?  He has always been eating vegetarian and he hasn´t drink alcohol in the last 7 years.However must say that, even though I know that sugar is really bad for this type of situations, I have seen him eating candy or some other type of refined sugar. He also eats dairy. Thank you very much for all your help :)Best,Sara Victoria: Hello, I hope this message finds you well. I came across your podcast and felt like you may be able to help me with my current health situation. Our 10 month baby has been exclusively breastfed and has severe eczema on her face, chest and legs. This started when she was 3 months old. I have cut pretty much everything out of my diet - gluten, dairy, eggs, grains, soy, nuts, nightshades, refined sugar - to the point I'm only eating a handful of vegetables and some fruits. I'm aware this is not sustainable for me or her. We also had to take a break from giving her solids because she would flare after everything we've given her (green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, squash). We are both on probiotics and seeing only minimal improvement from that. I had to take antibiotics and ibuprofen after delivery due to a lot of complications so I know my gut is compromised and I'm on a healing journey with that. However, it's been months and we aren't getting much better. I feel like we still react to certain foods including meat (chicken, beef bone broth). Which tests would you recommend to get started on figuring out my gut and do you have any suggestions on how to proceed from here? I was thinking food sensitivity test, but since I'm only eating a few things, I feel like those would automatically show up on the test. Are there any tests you'd recommend for our baby?  I would love any recommendations/suggestions you may have.Thank you for your time,Victoria Josh: Hey dr Cabral. Thanks for all you do. I have a question. In 2015 I was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain spotted fever. I took 2 rounds of doxycycline and was told I either got over it or I didn’t. Since then I have had several health problems. High cholesterol high insulin extreme fatigue. I have made some life changes over the 4 years. Have done 2 21 day detox have done your deep sleep protocol and have done the omega test the thyroid adrenal hormone and the heavy metal test. I have followed the recommendations on them and though have seen some improvements I still have those days where I can’t function Just feel run down. It’s hard to explain but it feels like my immune system is always fighting and it wears me down. Have sinus issues but other than that I’m lost. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Also tested for Lyme and co infections and came back negative.

1292: Auto-Immune, Allergies, Asthma, Acid Reflux or Bloating? (Start Here) (TWT)

One of my favorite things to see is when medical research finally catches up to what natural medicine has known to be true for years...

1291: The Secret to Life No One Has Ever Shared With You (MM)

The magic behind manifestation is working every day of your life whether you believe in or not... However, my analytical mind has a hard time letting go of the reality that I see all around me, which is why I try to break down "metaphysics" into principles, steps and actions we can all understand and put into practice... The problem is that most of us have never heard of the true reality behind what we see in this 3D world and that is why I'd like to make one specific principle very clear...

1290: Anti-Aging Specialist, Bright Yellow Urine, Desmoid Tumor, Lipedema, IV Infusions, Fecal Transplants, Blackhead Removal (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Darren: Hey Dr. Cabral. Great show as always. I listened Joe Rogan's podcast interview with Dr. David Sinclair and anti-aging specialist. He says he uses NMN, Resveratol, NAD, fasting, Metformin, Sauna, cryotherapy, running, avoids meat protein. I know you espouse similar ideals with some of those recommendations, however, with regard to Metformin, would you say it's safe to use while adopting the lifestyle you recommend in the Rain Barrel Effect and on your show? Are their any major drawbacks? As always keep up great work. Dani: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am a recent listener of your show. My Elder brother put me on to it. I learnt so much and have adopted some of your recommendations. I have a concern and wonder if it's normal. I know I shouldn't, but my on go lifestyle has me drinking alkalinised bottled water. My urine is sometimes a bright yellow or bright green colour. Even on days I don't take vitamin B. If I consume other water, it's normal clear or light yellow tinge. I'm wondering if the Alkaline water has a negative effect or is it a serious cause for concern. Aside that I'm a female, vata body type, fit, exercise regularly in mid 20's, drink 6-8 glasses of water daily. Keep up great work. Sarah: This has never been addressed. I had a desmoid tumor removed last year from my right abdominal rectus muscle. I exercise twice a day but can’t seem to lose the tummy tire, where before I always had a totally flat stomach. I eat very healthy. Kelly: Hello Dr. Cabral, Could you please talk about lipedema? I have had a disproportionately larger lower half since puberty which has caused me to cycle through extreme diets and eating disorders in an attempt to get rid of this weight. I have corrected estrogen dominance and been on a long term targeted insulin resistance diet but have not experienced weight loss (despite moderate caloric restriction and whole food clean eating). Now I am beginning to suspect that I have lipedema and feel rather hopeless. What interventions would you recommend in people with lipedema? Beside dry brushing, rebounding, and drinking lots of water, what are other important factors in a healthy lymph system? Thank you! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! What are your thoughts on NAD iv treatments (for overall Anti Aging, Anxiety, Depression, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc) And what are your thoughts on just iv vitamin therapy in general? There are many places popping up that offer various vitamin packages through iv (ie. "Meyer's Cocktail," Glutathione, B Vitamins, Vitamin C, etc). How do you feel they compare to just taking good quality supplements orally? I would think that for people who are super depleted with serious gut issues, iV therapy could be helpful short term while also going through a gut healing program. Are there any contraindications you think people should watch out for? Any time my husband gets Glutathione in his iV for example, he feels super horrible and run down. It's so bad that he has to go home and stay in bed for the rest of the day. I also have concerns that the customer may not always be aware of what form is being administered (ie. is it a Methylated form of Folate and not Folic Acid). Thanks so much for all you do! Amanda: Hi Dr Cabral, I was wondering what you think of fecal transplants to treat gut dysbiosis? Thanks, Amanda Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral, Do you know of any ways to get rid of blackheads? I don’t really struggle with acne any more, but I have had blackheads on my nose for as long as I can remember. I have tried many charcoal/clay masks and nothing seems to work. Thanks!

1289: Asthma Reaction, Longevity Diet, Postprandial Glucose Levels, Binge Eating Triggers, Herbal Flatulence, Tube Ligation, Children & Mold (HouseCalls)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Karyn: Hello, after receiving my OAT results earlier this year I have commenced the CBO Protocol. All is going well and i am into my 6th week,  however, I have noticed my asthma has become particularly bad during this time and I am having to take my cortico-steriod inhaler almost every second day.  I believe inhaling my cortico-steriod contributed to the growth of candida in the first place. Will the CBO work if I'm still taking this medication? And why do you think the CBO Protocol has affected my asthma in this way? I only developed asthma 6 years ago after moving to another city (in subtropical Australia) and getting cats for pets. I found out I was allergic to cats and found a new home for them last year. Is there something I'm missing if I've removed the allergy (cats) from my life but I'm still getting asthma flare ups on this CBO protocol? Should I cease the protocol until I've got my asthma under control? Thank you for you advice in advance, your podcasts have changed my life for the better and I love learning everyday from you. Anne: I just read The Longevity Diet by Valter Longo and he shares similar views to yours on diet and longevity. One difference I see is that he recommends a 5 day fast, and that autophagy begins on day 3. I have also read other articles that say that autophagy begins after day 3. Curios to your thoughts on why you recommend adding regular food on day 3 of your detox and how your method compares to the fasting mimicking diet he recommends.Just a note that I have afib and are doing everything I can to avoid chemicals or ablation. I have completely changed my diet to vegan plant based, take supplements (magnesium, taurine, omega3, D3 and am planning to take more). So far went from 3-4 incidents a week to 1 a week. I thought fasting or detox might take it to the next level. Thank you for all you do! Your podcasts have been very educational. Katie: Hi Dr Cabral, I’ve been listening to your podcasts (love it!) regarding blood sugar and know you are in agreement with other functional docs regarding fasting blood sugar and the range being good between 75 and 95. My blood sugar has been a bit high in the AM and have implemented your adrenal soothe and added carbs and now I’m in the 80s usually! So it seems to have been an adrenal issue? Anyway,now I am wondering how my after meal BS sugar is looking. I know you would like to see the fasting range two hours after but what about an hour after? I have recently read and article, written by someone I respect, that the goal is to not have your BS spike above 125 but is this possible with carbs? When I have a cheat meal I find that it goes into the 160s. And often it doesn’t come down to ideal range after two hours. This is the main reason I have stayed away from carbs and your OAT showed that I have done too much of this. The only other issue revealed was Candida overgrowth and I have not started the protocol yet. Id love you to weigh in! I am Vata type all the way if that help Carrie: I have been binge eating for about 10 years now on and off. I feel like I’m so bored in life and constantly need to be ‘doing’. This binge eating is only thing that ‘calms me down’. I have seen many natural health practitioners about this but the binge eating is still there. Do you have any suggestions Anonymous: I have a question about bloating, bad gas and peri-rectal dermatitis that started after finishing your CBO protocol (with citracidal drops) and starting the heavy metal detox. I performed the OAT, HTMA, and food sensitivities test before starting any of the protocols. I was told overall things look pretty good. OA had "mild" CBO and low vit C, HTMA high aluminum, Food sensitives only cranberries and candida as high reactors. Had a couple of moderate reactors that I rarely eat. I use the daily nutrition support shake along with several other of the equilibrium products (vit C, vit b, digestive enzymes, etc) but use a different greens powder b/c of the cranberry, just to give some background. I did the CBO protocol followed by the heavy metal detox per recommendations. After starting the heavy metal detox I started having extreme flatulence and bloating that would results in a perirectal dermatitis. What's going on? Don't get me wrong, I would occasionally have some gas before but never to this extent and these additional other problems. Magaly: Hello Dr. Cabral. I’m pregnant with my third child right now and considering Tube ligation as a form of permanent contraception. I’ve been on the pill for a very long time and after listening to your podcasts no longer feel it is the healthiest thing for me to do. (Side note: since I did decide to come off the pill I became pregnant as a result )I want to know what your view point is and how it might affect or change my overall heath, as well as any better suggestions as a form of contraceptives.Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. Greg: Hi Dr. Cabral, Apologies for the long post. I'm desperate and in tears writing this and pray I can get your help. My 5 year old daughter has been having headaches, anxiety and sleep problems for about 2 years. We recently did an OAT, Food Panel and MycoTox test. Results show she is allergic to eggs and cashews, low on Vit C, all other gut function and markers normal. The mycoTox test was off the charts for Aspergillus, specifically Ochratoxin A at a 29.48, Gliotoxin levels in red as well at 950.27 and Aflatoxin-M1 at   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1289 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1283: Women vs. Men Training & Nutrition, Hot Flashes, Binge Eating, Fungal Overgrowth, Scleroderma (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Zoe: Hi dr. Cabral, I’m very curious about your opinion on the differences in workout and nutrition strategies between men and women. Do you think men and women need to work out significantly differently? And if so - what do you feel works best for each? And I would love to know what you think about macronutrient intake. Do you think men and women need the same ratio of fats, carbs and protein or is there difference in how our body utilizes it and how we burn it? I appreciate your opinion so much, and can’t wait to hear your thoughts about this! Thanks s million! Zoe. Caitie: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all that you do, listening to your podcast and reading the rain barrel effect has impacted my life greatly for the better! I’m writing you about My 55 year old mother. She seems to be starting menopause. She goes from freezing cold to a hot flash with lightheadedness seemingly randomly. The hotflashes seem to be worsened by stress. The hotflashes are almost unbearable and keep her up most nights. Her last period was over 90 days ago. She started black cohosh with no help. She’s been talking ashwaganda for 6 months and that has help substainally with brain fog and mood balance until as of Recent. Do you have any recommendations as to what types of things might help her symptoms during this time? Or do you think that this could be something other than menopause contributing to this? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Anonymous: Hello Doctor Cabral, I was hoping you could address binge eating disorder in a more objective way in terms of explaining why it happens in certain people and if this is a brain-based evolutionary response or the result of an overall imbalance in the body. I have completed the 21-day detox, the CBO protocol, and several 7 day detoxes. During all protocols, I felt amazing during the first couple weeks as I modeled the 3 meals a day habit and daily 12 hour fast, but then I began to develop an intense desire for foods not on the lists during the 2-3rd weeks. This was not like a typical craving for sugary, starchy, or processed foods, but almost a primal desire to binge on any kind of food (nuts, nut butters, hommus). This has never happened to me before these protocols, but after reading about binge eating disorder, it lead me to question if the food restrictions in the detox or CBO protocol can unintentionally trigger binge eating in some people that have this genetic tendency. I know you operate under the idea that this lifestyle "allows" you to eat healthy foods rather than "restrict" unhealthy ones, and you don't believe in counting calories or complete restriction with the use of flex meals. However, for me on all occasions, this behavior was very immediate and was not something I felt like I could change my mindset about or talk myself out of, for it felt like my brain was convincing me that it was a survival necessity to binge. Chris: Hello, So I'm a 20 year old male and have been suffering with what I think is some type of fungal overgrowth in my intestines for a couple years. I was diagnosed with Lyme disease when I was 17, and I took a month of doxycline, two months of monocycle, and two months of tindamax. Ever since I took the minocycline I have felt completely out of it. It feels like I am living in a dream. I have terrible fatigue, ZERO libido, joint pain, and many food intolerances that I never had before in life. I have tried every candida diet, enzyme, and herbal supplement possible, and am beginning to lose hope. Nothing is giving me any relief at all. I took a neurotransmitter test and both my serotonin and dopamine are off the charts low. Also, I noticed that my symptoms get much worse when I eat fermented foods like milk kefir. I was wondering if you think that you would be able to help my condition. Thank you, Chris Amelie: Hi Dr Cabral -Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge.35 year-old female here. I was recently diagnosed with localized scleroderma in the hands (mostly) and feet.I ran a comprehensive blood panel test (thyroid, blood, electrolytes, DHEA, minerals etc) everything came normal except a very low total T3 (60 over a 76-181 ng/dL range) and a very high PTH (84 over a 14-64pg/mL range).I have had Raynauld (resulting from scleroderma) for 18 years and didn't know the actual underlying issue (at least seeing the symptoms over the last 6 years) was scleroderma.So basically, calcinosis of the connective tissue.I have very tight swollen and painful fingers. My hands become numb and tingling with a burning (like fire) feeling when I sleep. Excrutiatingly painful.Not sure if it is the side effects of formation of calcium crystals in my hands.After lots of reading, I started supplementing with D3/K2. Also, I am trying to eliminate as much greens and bets and other oxalate-forming foods since Is suspect they aggravate my condition.Any thought? Recommendations on what to do or start from? Note: the cause has been linked to extreme endurance sports (running, cycling, triathlons) for the last 19 years that affected my thyroids, and two bouts of anorexia 18 and 15 years ago (with 12 years of amenorrhea).Thank you so much for anything you can help with.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1283 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1282: Skin Elasticity, Red Meat Recommendation, Whiplash, Dermatographia, Plant Based Meat, DNRS Training, Daily Fasting (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Isabelle: Thanks so much for your extraordinary work Dr. Cabral. I've been having hormone and adrenal issues for a decade that became at times debilitating around age 27. Since that time I began making radical changes in my diet and taking high-quality supplements. I have maintained a very healthy all organic diet for 5 years now, supplementing for adrenal, gut and thyroid health for the past 3 years. Starting from ovulation until a few days before my menstrual cycle my energy levels plummet and starting from a few days before my cycle, like clockwork, I lose water weight and have insomnia plus way more energy. I know that my estrogen levels are normal but dominant. I'm 32 years old and I've started noticing a rapid loss in the collagen in my skin and an increase in cellulite all over my legs as well as sagging skin under my chin and neck. The skin all over my body is aging stunningly fast which is strange considering how young I am and how well I take care of myself. What would cause such rapid aging of skin elasticity? Christinna: Hi Stephen.I am such a huge fan of everything you do and I have also had a 3 mounth program with one of ur health coaches. I am a vatta and at the time my energi and Iron was low, i did all of the test, the thyroid adrenal hormoner and hair and tissue. So as she looked at the test, She suggest twise a week red meat. My quistions is, why? I am mostly vegan and all the pp. Around me. Says that meat is bad, i hang out with many vegans and I fell like such a bad person. I also want my girl to be vegan, yet my husband will not be vegan and I am just so torn and upset. I read all books on health, one half says i will harm my health if i dont eat a little meat and I don't want to harm me, but even more my daugther. I am upset, because i dont want to support the meat industri. It is hurtig my marrige and I just want my girl to at least be able to know whats going on with the animals, but she is only 2.Please share some light. Kind regrad Christinna Rick: Best podcast I’ve heard. Thank you so much for the info you share. My question: What can I do to speed up recovery of my whiplash?? My neck has been stiff and painful for over 8 MONTHS NOW!! It has affected my life in many many ways and while I’ve had slow minor improvement- I am still suffering. (Hit a pole trying to swerve around a car that abruptly stopped while) I’m afraid I might be dealing with this the rest of my life... I’ve tried acupuncture, many rounds of PT, Orthopedic, no help from GP, Neurology at MGH, mri and xrays show as “normal”. I’ve tried light exercises, heavy exercise, weights, cardio, rest... just can’t shake it!! Thanks so much for your help. I will be scheduling an appt in the near future with your team for other reasons as well. Michael: I am 35 and I am struggling with dermatagraphia. It started 1.5 years ago after coming through a stressful time. I also got sick a couple weeks prior to first sign of issue. It noticeably spread, starting in my legs and over 10 days spreading over whole body. When it reached my face it flushed my face for a couple days so that I could not rest it even on a pillow. I have tried many things. Detox programs, 10 day juice fast, leaky gut protocol, a month of keto followed by a 7 day water fast. Nothing seems to help or make it worse. I have tried to identify certain foods that help or make it worse and can’t. I have no other issues and am otherwise healthy. Have not had any medication or even so much as an aspirin since I got sick before the issue started 1.5 years ago. Doctors just want to give me anti histamines, which I won’t take. It is much better now than at its worse point, but still anytime I get a scratch or bump my skin itches at a 20 on a scale from 1 to 10 and gets red. There is no swelling, just red and intense itching. It also only lasts for a short time. Starting about 20 sec from stimulation, intense itch red skin and then subsides within a minute or two if I leave it alone. Stress does make it worse, I feel like I am throwing darts at a dart board, need guidance. Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral!  First off, thanks for all you do!  Second, I’m curious regarding your thoughts about the plant-based meat substitute. Would this be suitable to eat as I’m transitioning to more of a plant-based diet? If not, what plant-based meat substitutes would you recommend?  Additionally, how would you suggest I go about switching to a plant-based diet? I’ve been eating Paleo off and on for the past few years, but I feel like I’m having a hard time digesting meat now. Thanks so much! Cath: Hi dr Cabral, What are your views or experience with either DNRS training? Specifically for someone with chronic health conditions (ibs/fatigue/hormonal imbalances/ candida/sibo) who has done all the necessary lifestyle and diet changes plus protocols for a number of years (including a page perfect de stress protocol) with recurring relapses.  Thank you ! Carey: Hi Dr Cabral, I’m in the IHP program and loving it! Thanks for what you do.I am a woman with Hashimotos who is managing it well with diet, exercise, self care, basically practicing the destress protocol daily.. I practice a daily 12 hour fast, occasionally pushing it to 13 or 14 hours. I’ve listened to all of your podcasts about fasting and ketosis… Is it best to practice a daily fast, sometimes intermittent fasting and pushing the time a little further, bring predominantly plants based, along with high quality proteins and fats, with Hashimotos? Is there a time you feel is too long for a woman with Hashimotos to fast? Just looking for some guidance on fasting, intermittent fasting, how it could affect a woman with Hashimotos… Thanks very much!

1280: Heavy Metal Toxicity Is Real & Overlooked (TT)

When I was first trying to get my health back I had never even heard of heavy metals... Like most people, I was skeptical and thought this was just some made-up "toxicity" that natural health practitioners talked about to scare people...

1279: The 7 Signs You’ve Become Too Catabolic (Rapid Aging) (WW)

As we age we tend towards becoming more catabolic, which is a nice way of saying our body begins to breakdown faster than it rebuilds... This leads to rapid aging and it starts to show from the inside out... The good news is that you can absolutely slow down this catabolic effect in the body by ensuring you have enough "raw material" to create an anabolic balancing counter effect...

1277: How to Overcome the 3 Great Ironies of Life (MM)

When we are young we have plenty of time and (hopefully) our health, but no money (or wisdom) to capitalize on it…    When we become an adult we have very little time as we begin to accumulate some wealth as our health begins to decline…   When we are old we have time and hopefully, money saved, but we no longer have our health…   This is how the 3 great ironies of life typically work for most people -the trouble is that you want to be able to enjoy all 3 at the same time in life…   I believe we can improve greatly upon this old adage and on today’s #CabralConcept 1277 I’d like to show you how - Enjoy the show!   - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1277 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1276: Scalp Sebum, MCV & MCH Levels, Burned Out, Choosing Internships, Medical Gut Issues (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Kari: Hi Dr.Stephen Cabral and thank you for taking the time to answer my question today. I’m a 27 yo female living in Brisbane. Within the past year or so I have had about 3 outbreaks of scalp issues. I have had consistent patches of dandruff over this year or so that when scratched too hard often bring blood to the surface and have a burning sensation (similar reaction to when I had full body psoriasis in 2013/14) Although on these 3 occasions I have had what I believe to be sebum build up on the crown of my head. It’s waxy and I cannot get rid of it for days at a time. After blow drying my hair or air drying it’s a very noticeable build up from crown to about 2 inches down my hair. I have tried tea tree oil shampoos, prescription shampoo (clobex clobetasol propionate 500micrograms/mL), head and shoulders and Selsun Gold. It goes away after a week yet returned within 2 weeks on these 3 overall occasions.  Throughout all of this I have not tried to change my diet although I eat 70/30 clean and healthy but don’t hold myself back when I want a treat or junk food. I was diagnosed with Celiac in 2012 and I believe my gut is in fine condition, but I have never tried a cleanse.  Do you think this sebum build up is gut related? Do you have any advice for how I can get rid of the sebum waxy build up and dandruff forever? Thank you!!! Katie: I recently got some blood work done and my MCV and MCH were slightly elevated so I ran my B12 and folic acid test as well which came back normal. Should I be concerned?  Savannah: Good morning! Thanks for your wonderful podcast!  The past 10 years I have slowly been acquiring new symptoms. First started with fatigue (spent hours sleeping during the day)  Then came painful body aches  Now I have migraines & every few days some chest pains(my chest has been X-rayed & no heart problems) Eczema also. Chronic UTIs Chronic strep throat (getting my tonsils out soon)  Constipation.  Irregular mens cycle  I am so tired and often in pain. I suffer from anxiety, depression & OCD. I always feel “on edge” & moody(not my personality). I have a lot of symptoms and don’t know where to start. I can’t afford hundreds of dollars worth of lab tests. If I could choose one which should I take? Thank you, hope I can find a place to start- feeling overwhelmed! Sinjin: Good morning Dr. Cabral, I am looking to further my education upon completion of IHP L2. I have lots of books lined up to read that are all geared towards the 7 branches of IHP, but seeking for hands on experience working under someone through either an internship or finding a mentor that can teach in person. In your opinion, off the top of your head, who/what/where would be your best recommendation for IHP’s to go and experience once becoming certified? I would love to be able to say I am mostly interested in just one healing method covered, but I truly enjoy them all. From personally putting to practice what the natural hygienists have taught, to learning how to read FM labs. I haven’t dove much into Hypnosis other than I have been listening to Psycho-Cybernetics while I sleep to see what happens. I would love to visit outside the US or HI to intern and learn but, I don’t know where to start! If you don’t mind could you give a few recommendations to myself and others out there seeking more experience as well as cultural submersion that will give us more skills to serve others. Thank you! Last time I wrote in was in the 500 episode, congrats on breaking the 1k! Lots of inspiration and guidance you and the team have provided along the way! Gracias! Claudio:  appreciate all of the knowledge you share, and it’s great that you offer it free to the public. I recently completed the CBO protocol and I’m doing the CBO finisher now from equilibrium nutrition. This has completely healed my severe case of psoriasis, and has improved my digestion! However, my question is for my Father. He had a colonoscopy about 5 years ago. His doctor removed some polyps and found he had diverticulitis in his colon. Since then, he has tried to stay on a low fiber diet, avoid anything with seeds, and tried to avoid high lectin foods. For the past couple months he has been trying to eat healthier and incorporate more veggies into his diet. He recently completed the 21 day Dr. Cabral detox and felt great. However, he was constipated during the last week of the detox. He was eating a lot of dark leafy greens during this time. He decided to cut out the greens, in hopes of resolving his constipation issue. He continued a diet full of veggies, legumes, fish, poultry, and fruit smoothies (with berries).  Upon completing the detox, he started the foundational protocol level 2, along with the activated b complex from equilibrium nutrition. The doctor said he could still have diverticulitis throughout his intestines. His mother had the same issue. He has suffered from constipation on and off throughout his life. Do you have any advice for his recovery? Also, do you think leaky gut and diverticulitis are related? Once his final surgery is complete, would starting the CBO protocol and sealing up his gut wall help to get rid of the diverticulitis and prevent perforation formation in the future? Any advice would help. I tried searching for diverticulitis on your podcast and found a brief mention on a house call. Thank you so much!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1276 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1275: Mucous Discharge, Social Anxiety, Full Rain Barrel, Psoriatic Arthritis, Elderly Medication (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Elena: Hello Dr. Cabral! I am so grateful for all the work you and your team does! I am a colon hydrotherapist and listen to your podcasts daily and happily share your name and podcast with my clients.  2 questions. My period has become very mucousy, no other symptoms, regular cycle, no discomfort, just all mucous mixed with blood. It has been going on over a year, should I be concerned? ( I’m 31, no kids, has never been on birth control) Second question- I am currently on day 11th of Dr.Cabral detox, absolutely love it, I lost 8 pounds already, my skin has cleared up, feeling energized, just suffering without my chocolate:) I noticed the whites of my eyes are getting yellow, that happened before when I was doing 7-14 day juice fasts or master cleanse, what could that be? In the past the issue would go away once I get off the cleanse. Many blessing! Elijah: Hello, I was wondering if Dr. Cabral is taking in any more clients? I'm 19 years old and started debilitating social anxiety when I was in my junior year of high school, along with newly manifested tremors (mostly head area, that seem to get worse the more I am experiencing heightened emotions, especially anxiety.) I was just wondering if Dr. Cabral could help me in any way? I ended up dropping out of school my junior year and finishing online. I have also yet to get a job or go to school to pursue my naturopathic degree (kind of my dream lol) because I just cant seem to function. My life seems to be on hold for the past 3-4 years now, trying to find answers. My MD has been NO help, he just prescribed Xanax which I hate taking, due to feeling like an emotionless zombie. His labs which showed that my "stress hormone" (whatever that means) was within normal range just ended up making him and my parents assume it's all in my head. I need help finding answers, I'm tired of doing it all alone. Please let me know if and when he is accepting new clients. Cath: Hi there and thank you for everything. I’ll aim to keep this short. I love the rain barrel effect and everything you teach. I’ve done all your lab tests and protocols, and my nutrition and lifestyle are dialled in. However even prior to readying the book, I was already doing all that stuff. After I over taxed my body in the past, I know the reasons I got Ill with fatigue/digestion/amenhorrea etc. I researched the PNS and Ayurveda and trained in health coaching and have been implementing all I’ve learned for four years. So I do the nutrition and supplements alongside the lifestyle and mindset. I sleep well and early, and I just don’t give up the hope of getting better. I journal, meditate, cultivate love and friendships, pursue purpose in life and I also rest - more than I wish I had to with three children age 7 9 and 12 who I would love to enjoy more. But despite all of this I just haven’t been able to heal in four years and still crash, even though I’m careful with exercise , mostly walking and yoga (I’m Vata) with a couple of gentle strength sessions from your starter program. I know the reasons I got ill, and I’m doing everything I can to fix them. What am I missing? I’m careful with the language I use with myself around this as am aware of the power of the subconscious but I really just be missing a trick. Aside from recavitating all my teeth which I can’t afford I can’t think of what else to do. I’m about a year into your protocols/detoxes/CBO etc after my big huge results and just don’t know where to go from here. I’m already working with your coaches having worked with many other coaches in the past. Sorry- this ended up being long! Brooke: I have had psoriatic arthritis for 2 years I’m 68 years old. I take remicade infusions every 8 weeks and methotrexate, 3 pills every 2 weeks. This is all working great but I’d love to go off all this if possible. I don’t eat any grains, milk products, or sugar. I take turmeric with black pepper daily and eat mainly organic. Any suggestions??? Sue: Hi dr Cabral! My dad is 71 yo and he just got diagnosed with high blood pressure and irregular heart rhythm. His doctor prescribed some heavy medications to prevent blood clotting/stroke and basically said there was nothing else he could do about it because it’s hereditary, plus he was getting older. But I don’t buy it! I know you always say there’s always an underlying cause of all diseases, which should be treated rather than only dealing with the symptoms. So what would you advise to do about this? And do you have any suggestions what I could do to prevent this happening to me in the future? Thanks in advance for your help and thank you SO much for this podcast and all your incredible health advice. You are a treasure!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1275 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1269: Estrogen Seeds, Low Hemoglobin, Lichen Sclerosis, Gallbladder Sludge, Mag Stearate, Cellulite & Gut Health, St. John's Wort, Vitamin A PreNatal (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Shikha: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have listened to your podcast on seed cycling. I wanted to know if seed cycling helps for low estrogen levels? I did my hormonal test recently and my progesterone levels,estrogen, cortisol and androgen levels were either low or lower end of the range. Is there a natural way to balance this. I get regular menstural cycle. I have hasimotos with hypothyroidism and I am currently on levothyroxine. I also have parasites, Sibo, candida and heavy metals, therefore I have started your 21 days detox, after which I will do parasite protocol, CBO protocol and heavy metal detox. Majority of my diet includes organic plant based food. Any recommendation on hormonal balance will be helpful. Darrell: Hey! Good day Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you and your family. I am writing with regard to your response to my previous question on episode 1212 where I said I'm a regular voluntary blood donor but recently my blood count has been hovering around 13.5 which the nurse say is lower than normal for males. You believed it was the RDW (red cell distribution width) I was referring to when it was actually the hemoglobin (Hgb) level I was talking about. I am not sure if they're the same thing or not, nevertheless what can cause it to be at that rate in a an active 34 year old male weighing around 155, 5’6 height, vata pitta body type, fit, no known issues. Is there anything that can be causing the low count? Is it really a cause for concern? A random nurse recommended taking liquid chlorophyll. Do you agree with using it or any other product or lifestyle tip? Anyway, keep up great work as always. Brandy: Hello Doc- first if all thank you for all the information you share! I’m a 35 year old female, fairly overweight (can’t lose weight), had a terrible diet for most of my life, and have had a whole lot of symptoms that have brought me to the doctor the last couple years... I was otherwise healthy before having my too children. One problem I’m mostly concerned with is my diagnosis of Lichen Sclerosis. I want to find the root cause but do not know where to start. I do not have any other autoimmune conditions but I do have anxiety and lots and lots of random symptoms that are telling me my body isn’t happy. But medical doctors say I’m otherwise healthy. Would you have any knowledge on this condition? What would your advice be for me to get to the root? Niki: I have gallbladder pain for a month and they want me to get surgery any way to get sludge out naturally and not get the surgery? What are the risks of declining the surgery Julia: Hello! Dr. Cabral, you are amazing! I love your podcasts and use some of your supplements like candida and clean gut protocols. Why do you still use the fillers in your supplements, like magnesium stearate? Brands like Pure discontinued it a long time ago. Thanks! Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral,  I had written in a while back asking how to get rid of cellulite on the front/back of my legs and gluts and you said that it was a toxicity issue. I had since been working on eradicating this issue. I have done the 21 day detox twice and I just finished the candida cleanse. Ive also been working out a lot and eating right and I still cant see the difference. I feel so frustrated with trying to figure out what the toxins are that are causing this issue. I recently also bought your intestinal cleanse and have used that a few times. Is there anything I can do to figure this out? Thanks so much!  Jen Kayla: What are your thoughts on St. John’s wort? Catherine: Hi, I was looking at purchasing the prenatal vitamin that you have on your site. I noticed that it has Vitamin A. Is that safe during pregnancy?

1268: Dry Scalp, How to Pursue a Health Career, Antibiotic Gut Issues, CBO Cheat Meals, Fructan Confusion, Pre-Pregnancy Detox, Stress-Based Hives (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Nikki: My husband has had dry scalp since his teen years and continues to do so into his thirties. He has been treated by conventional doctors for this with antibiotics/steroids with little effect. For the past 11 years it’s only been him who has struggled with this. As of last year, I have started to have dry scalp as well as our children. We try to eat healthy. We do eat out every other month and consume some white flour. We live on a small farm but are surrounded by conventional fields/farmers. Where should I start in healing my family? We recently ran the big five lab tests on my daughter and hope to get the rest of the family tested as well. Thank you! Anonymous: Hello Cabral Team, I am an undergraduate student looking to pursue a naturopathic or functional medicine health career. I have always had a passion for health and wellness, but last summer, through exposure to your podcast and products, I turned my attention towards natural remedies including detoxification, nutrition, and lifestyle changes to address chronic illness rather than through the use of pharmaceuticals. I am very interested in helping others discover this lifestyle and change their lives as I did; however, I am confused about how to pursue this path as many of my professors and advisors at school are unaware of functional medicine and the jobs it includes. Could you talk a little bit about your path in pursuing your degree, how you chose a medical school, any internships, opportunities, or jobs that lead you there and solidified your decision to attend medical school? Is it better to pursue another degree such as nursing or physician's assistant studies and build a job as a holistic practitioner around that or is it recommended to go to naturopathic/functional medical school? Ingrid: Hi Dr. Cabral, We made a video version of this email that I'm including the link to here which is better to see his skin clearly: https://youtu.be/h4PeKh-O0SQ My husband and I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He is a very healthy man of 34 who has never had alcohol, smoked cigarettes, has eaten a vegan diet for the last 3 years, and exercises regularly. Both he and I got a lot of mosquito and bug bites in the summer last year. In October, he realized that a small bump (he figured an insect bite) on his arm had not gone away. Thinking then that it was a wart instead, we put a salicylic acid patch on it. This burned a hole in his skin, which turned into a dime-sized open sore, oozing yellow watery liquid. Dermatologists nearby weren't available until January, so we went to the PCP office instead. The nurse practitioner determined it was impetigo (no tests, just visually) and gave him a topical antibiotic (Miuprocin) to put on it for a few days.This made the spot on his arm worse. The sore widened to be a strip of bumpy, oozing skin about 2 inches wide. We went back to the PCP, saw another NP who determined that the antibiotic must not have been strong enough, and prescribed him an oral antibiotic, Bactrim. Within a few days of the treatment with Bactrim his whole body exploded in hives, bumps and rashes. The original area on his forearm did not improve at all. It was very challenging, he couldn't sleep at all due to the itch and was extremely uncomfortable for the next few weeks. Total misery. We finally met the dermatologist in Jan. She said he likely never had a bacterial infection, that the original bump was probably an ingrown hair, but now he had developed severe eczema due to his response to the antibiotics. When asked why this happened, she basically shrugged and said "sometimes a person develops eczema", and informed us that this is now something we need to just "manage" for life. She gave him a tapered dose of oral Prednisone for a few weeks, and advised the use of hydrocortizone and triamcinolone steroid creams for some of the worst areas. This took his symptoms and level of discomfort from 100% to about 20%, but he never got completely better, some areas of the skin like the nipples were still very inflamed, itchy and scaly. After being off the prednisone, some symptoms elsewere re-emerged slightly, and the derm said this was normal after coming off of steroids. For the areas like the nipples that never got better she prescribed Protopic (a non-steroidal immune suppressant). Despite her assurances, this cream has been linked to development of lymphomas and so we never used it. From mid-March to the beginning of April his skin health really took a nose-dive. The sores and rashes came back at full steam and he's as uncomfortable as he was after the antibiotic. We began seeing an Integrative doctor in our area who had him take the OAT and a blood IgE and IgG food sensitivity test. The doc said that according to those tests, he has a number of food sensitivities and an extremely high level of d-Arabinose in his urine, which indicate a Candida overgrowth. She felt this candida overgrowth is the reason for his skin reacting this way after the antibiotic. She has him on Diflucan and Nystatin, as well as Borage Oil, Vitamin C, Quercetin and Nettles, Vitamin D3, Magnesium, Zinc, L-Glutamine, and a B Complex. We have also removed all his trigger foods from the sensitivity test and are following a paired-down anti-Candida diet (basically we've removed fruits and are eating mostly vegetables, some brown rice, mung beans and lots of nuts and seeds). We are now almost at the end of week 4 of the treatment and are concerned that his itch and other symptoms have not significantly improved. He is still incredibly itchy at night and while the scabs of his sores have fallen off, the skin underneath is raw and red and doesn't seem to be healing at a normal pace. Last weekend, some of the spots that we thought were looking somewhat better began oozing clear serum again, but have now dried up again. It's hard to say if his skin is healing, it doesn't look better, it just looks different? My question is, are we pursuing the wrong course here? We really thought the integrative doc had the answer when she said he had a candida overgrowth. But even she seems surprised at the lack of progress. We are feeling like no one really has a handle on what is actually happening to him.Thank you,Ingrid Cherie: Hello. A few questions. Can you have cheat meals on the CBO protocol, and if so, when can they begin? I am asking because foods are slowly re-introduced and I did not know if a cheat meal with foods not on the Gut guide list would negate all the benefits. Also can you have CBD oil on the protocol? And lastly, when should I take vitamin c and zinc during the protocol? Can I take them with the CBO pills? Cassandra: Hi Dr Cabral  I've completed the CBO protocol and stuck to it 100% however I've ran an organic acid test and have high bacterial and yest markers. I'm confused why you approve of legumes and beans on the CBO when they are high in fructans and they feed yest and bacteria. I understand they are easy to digest foods but still all naturopaths I have spoken to say to stay clear of them. I'm really disappointed that I'm going to need to do another round. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Many thanks Yvonne: I am just listening to your podcast with Dr Gerry Curatola and think I probably have several issues related to what you're talking about - teeth removed, root canals and mercury fillings and have health issues.  My concern is that the detailed information about what is required to return health sounds extremely expensive and only available for the rich. I live in Canada and am on a retirement budget so I either wouldn't have the funds required or if I did I would then be destitute.  So does that mean for someone on a retirement budget good health will not be available? Ashlee: Hi Dr Cabral. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for almost a year and would love some guidance. We have completed the 21 Day detox, have both been doing the daily protocol level 2 for 5 months and I have been taking the prenatal package as well. We both just competed the Big 5 labs and are now doing the heavy metal protocol and will do the parasite cleanse and CBO by the time you read this. I am also seed cycling and we are taking vitamin d, adrenal soothe, cal-mag, zinc, DHEA, digestive enzymes and vitamin c as recommended by our health coach. Most of these were recommend for up to 12 weeks. We eat organic as best we can and follow a similar diet to the DCD with the inclusion of carbs. We have also detoxed the house from everything we have control over too. We are hoping that by the time you read this I will be pregnant but if not I am asking where can we go from here? We want to have a natural birth and feel like we have done everything possible to help the process. Is there anything else we can do? Or what do you suggest our next step be? Thank you so much in advance for your response and we appreciate you taking the time to help us. Ashlee. Judy: Help! I am breaking out in random hives for over 2 weeks. I thought maybe it was something I ate but when I eliminated certain things from my diet, it is still happening. I get tingly itchiness and anything that rubs against my body, I get welts on my skin. I am not sure if it is a delayed response to food or some other allergen.I have been highly stressed for over 6 months. I am taking 2 capsules of adrenal soothe every night and I plan to take your TAH test again next month. I have also experienced eye floaters recently and my acupuncturist says I have a chi and blood deficiency (my last cycle ran for 25 days which isn’t normal for me). Also my tongue swells and my skin is tender to touch when I have cheat meals which sadly are happening more than Once a week. What can I do to get well again? My friend recently took the MRT food sensitivity test and it has a lot more foods on it than the one you are currently using. I prefer to go with your coaches and health plan but I wonder what your thoughts are on a more comprehensive list of foods from this competitor’s test. Sorry for the long questions but I did want to say that although I am dealing with these issues, I have come so far in my health journey based on your recommendations and health coaches and look forward to continued improvement.

1262: Blastocystis, Chlorophyll vs. Chlorella, Alzheimer’s Regression, Backwards Exercise Sets, Crohn’s Diet (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Alana: Hello :) I had the parasite blastocystis and have done your protocol 2 times without success and want to move onto the cbo protocol. Anyhow I am in Bali and have friends use this product to kill parasites here named Ozonides which has active oxygen and apparently kills candida yeast etc too... the herbal oil listed ingredients include - wormwood, mugwort, black cumin, clove, walnut, marjoram, olive and ricinus. I have just started taking this and my question Is how long do I need to  take this for and how log should I wait until I start the cbo protocol? Could this product Ben successful in treated that too? I wanted to ask as I know yo heighten the importance of doing a long protocol which is why yours is 12 weeks and I also have yours :) and have heard great things! I was just hoping to kill the parasite first. What would you reccomend? Thank you! Sinjin: Good morning Dr. Cabral,  I am looking to further my education upon completion of IHP L2. I have lots of books lined up to read that are all geared towards the 7 branches of IHP, but seeking for hands on experience working under someone through either an internship or finding a mentor that can teach in person. In your opinion, off the top of your head, who/what/where would be your best recommendation for IHP’s to go and experience once becoming certified? I would love to be able to say I am mostly interested in just one healing method covered, but I truly enjoy them all. From personally putting to practice what the natural hygienists have taught, to learning how to read FM labs. I haven’t dove much into Hypnosis other than I have been listening to Psycho-Cybernetics while I sleep to see what happens. I would love to visit outside the US or HI to intern and learn but, I don’t know where to start! If you don’t mind could you give a few recommendations to myself and others out there seeking more experience as well as cultural submersion that will give us more skills to serve others. Thank you!  Last time I wrote in was in the 500 episode, congrats on breaking the 1k! Lots of inspiration and guidance you and the team have provided along the way! Gracias! Derrel: Hey Dr. Cabral. Good show. Would you say if chlorophyll is a superfood/supplement or is it overrated? Is it similar to chlorella? Do you recommend it in your practise? If so, can you say what are the benefits and who should use it? Keep up good work. Karen: Good afternoon, Dr. Cabral, My husband is a recent fan of your methods for good living! I am currently listening to your podcast regarding Alzheimer's issues and concerns. My father is unfortunately in the throws of the disease and has recently read your book. He's already very thin and having trouble putting all of the pieces together in how to implement your strategies. For example, he's basically stopped eating a regular diet thinking that it will help empty his rain barrel more quickly. That being said, I am trying to figure out what to recommend to my mother, his caregiver, as to what steps she might take in helping him to reach his wellness goals in stopping or reversing the effects of his Alzheimers. My mother is a tough sale on anything outside of current medical practices or their family doctor. My dad is on heart medication that he's been taking for quite some time. He intermittently ceases taking his medications due to stomach upset and irregularity in his digestive tracts and processes. As a Vietnam Veteran, we aren't sure what he might have been exposed to as far as chemical agents during that time or how any of that may have contributed to his current condition. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is how best to help my parents who have already been dealing with conventional medicine with little results. There is also a lot of confusion for my dad in how best to implement your recommendations towards better health without losing more weight or memory function. I know that you are very busy with all that you do to help others with their health. Any recommendations you could share would be most appreciated. I thank you very, very much for your work and your time and look forward to hearing from you soon.  God bless, be well and take care! Karen :) Todd: Dr. Cabral - Hope this message finds you well. Quick question: In you weightlifting book for men you sometimes list the reps backwards (i.e., 8-5) for 4 sets. I couldn’t find the explanation anywhere in the book so I thought I’d reach out. Is this a pyramid stacking where I should add weight each set and do fewer reps as the weight gets heavier? Thanks for the feedback. All the best, Todd Leah: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering if you can help me with my client. I would love to hear your feedback/input. She has been dealing with Crohn's for 19 years. Been through all sorts of medications and diets, lately tried SCD (specific carb diet). Shes having ongoing flair ups and just recently had surgery. They removed the scar tissue and Crohns and said it's like a restart. She came to me as the last hope and really wants a fresh start. Unfourtauntly she doesn't have the money at the moment to spend on any tests and wants to see her options until then. What foods to avoid etc. Obviously, without any 'evidence' on paper, it's stressful for me to have the 'right' answers.

1261: Keto & Your Kidneys, Coffee Crash, Fruitarian Diet, Ma Huang, Blood Pressure Medication, MRT Food Test, Copaiba Oil (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jan: Hello Dr. Cabral, I am a big fan of your thoughts, stories and your podcast over several years now. Within the last years I adopted several of your suggestions regarding nutrition, movement and general life style behaviour. Today I have a question about a kidney issue. I know that you are an experienced functional expert but you also have experience in sports and training. I am going to the gym 3-4 times per week doing weight training. I do not exaggerate it with weights and length of training but usually use the weights until muscle failure (max training time is 30-45 minutes). I gained some (not much though) muscle mass despite being - and always was - very slim. I eat low diet for many years now always trying to play around with the macros. I know you are not a big fan of staying in ketosis too long - I am usually in ketosis for 1-3 weeks and eat a little more carb after that period of time - usually staying below 100g per day. My protein is 70 percent animal based - around 0,8-1,0 g/kg in sum per day. I do not take protein or creatine supplements. Now the question: During a routine check the creatinine values were 1.30 mg/dl (blood) which is higher than normal. The doctor now suggested to stop my training (or switching to mainly cardio) and lower the protein intake. SInce you are also a sport expert, I hope that you can tell me that slightly higher values are normal when doing strengths training? Does keto / low carb interfere with it and might be worsen the kidney situation (the doctor also suggested to eat more carbs and fiber)? By the way, the blood values for cystatine c were 0.65 mg/dl (normal), eGFR (Creatinine) 75 and eGFR (Cystatine) 125 - no protein in the urine. I am happy to hear your thoughts about it. Keep up your very good work! Jan Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, long time listener here, thank you for all your valuable information and teachings. I'm currently working with your practitioners and doing the CBO protocol, among other things, to get my health back. However, I still struggle with energy and focus in the mornings, as well as waking up. I like coffee, I like caffeine and the buzz and energy (mentally and physically pick me up). However, every time I drink it I seem to get cold. My body just feels cold, and I get cold hands and feet. Also, I seem to crash a couple of hours afterwards. I've even tried your cbd coffee, and still experience the same symptoms, however some of my anxiety is slightly mitigated. I don't seem to do well with any Teas, black or green/matcha, because of my oxalate sensitivity and/or histamine and DAO sensitivity. Do you have any recommendations of an alternative to coffee and tea that I could use to get a pick me up in the mornings? or on a busy work-day. I do like the caffeine buzz and possibly dopamine hit. Also, why do I get so cold? is there anyway to mitigate these coffee side effects? Erica: What's your perspective on the fruitarian diet as a healing strategy? I've heard of many people healing various digestive issues / chronic issues through it. Curious about your perspective! Thanks so much Natalie: Hi Doctor Cabral you have influenced my medical career thank you! Do you think the herb ma-Huang (ephedra) is safe to use in a tea for weight loss? I can’t find any safety information on pub med or related searches. Please help! Thank you Keiko:Hi Dr. Cabral,  My husband is on Lisinopril (ACE inhibitor/Blood Pressure Medication) for about 10 years except for a few years during the time he didnt need it. His blood pressure tends to get high although he doesn’t have any other conditions and overall healthy. He eats well, not perfect, but much better than most Americans. His exercise is on and off, it’s not consistent. He’s pretty stressed at work. The last few years, he says that he’s been having mild anxierties and lack of motivation or socialization. He started to take bacopa monieri and Ashwaghanda and he says he feels like he’s back to normal. My question is can the blood pressure medication be one of the causes of his anxiety? Also, other than regular exercise, stress relief modality like meditation (which he doesn’t want to do) or healthy eating, what can he do to get off the medication? Thank you so much for your work! Judy: Can you please share your thoughts on how your food sensitivity testing compares to MRT food sensitivity testing? Is one more accurate than the other? Jen: Hi Dr. C, I'm wondering if you've heard about the debate going on about copaiba essential oil having the same benefits and working better than CBD. There have been claims that copaiba is more powerful, requires much smaller dosages, is more cost effective and works directly on the CB2 receptors (vs CBD indirectly on CB1 and CB2). I'd love to know your thoughts about copaiba vs CBD. Do you think this is an apples to apples comparison? What are your thoughts on ingesting copaiba? Thanks for your insight on this topic!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1261 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1259: This Form of Exercise is Proven to Keep the Weight Off (TT)

While there are tens of thousands of studies completed each year very few of them last for more than a few months... The reason is that they are costly, the study participants drop off, and the data the study is looking for can often be gathered within months - not years... However, whenever longer-term research has been completed I very much enjoy diving into that data to see what can be summated... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1259 I can't wait to share with you the longer-term study done on which form of exercise (and how much) has been proven to keep the weight off - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1259 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1257: The Fatal Flaw of Conventional Medicine (TWT)

I would be amazing if one form of medicine encompassed everything we needed in life to get well, lose weight, and slow the aging process... But I think we all know by now that simply isn't the case... And, when it comes to Conventional versus Functional Medicine there is a huge foundational difference that separates the two... The trick is knowing when to use which and when to watch out for the "bandaid approach" of conventional medicine...

1255: Children's Candida Protocol, Kid's Supplement Dosages, Cuts & Scrapes, Restless Legs, Crohn's Relief, Kid's Headaches, Natural Ligament Repair (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Karyn: Hello, I'm so glad to have come across your work. Before I did I had seen many naturopaths and medical doctors about my sons stools, which have never been normal - and it's clear his body cannot digest foods properly. After numerous tests we discovered he has a candida and various other bacterial overgrowth. Due to my sons age - he's just turned 3 - I have been extremely cautious about following the advice of naturopaths regarding herbal remedies to treat his candida. So far we have tried with diet alone and a couple of drops of Biocidin each day. That was until I found your protocol. We bought it and then realised he is too young to start on it. Do you have any recommendations for helping children with candida overgrowth younger than 4? Is it a concern that he will be living with this overgrowth for another year until he can commence the protocol? Also, could you explain a little more on how the Flora Film works? I believe it is very similar to Biocidin in that they are both biofilm disruptors. Thank you in advance for your guidance. Judy: Hi there! Can you please share how you recommend treating cuts and scrapes for your kiddos (and the occasional clumsy adults) to minimize scarring and preventing infection? Also, I grew up using hydrogen peroxide to prevent infection. Is it bad to use for cleaning cuts? Katie: Starting in my 20's I would notice when I got tired and I was sitting my legs would " Jump" involuntarily. Once it started it would continue till I either went to bed or got up and walked around but walking was only temporary because once I would sit back down it would start again. As I have gotten old and get tired earlier, The legs start jumping earlier each night. Usually between 8:00-9:00 when I'm watching TV. Is there something I can do? Is it neurological? My body might be tired but I'm not always ready to go to sleep. Ivana: Dear Dr. Cabral, I'm a 23 years old female who was diagnosed with Crohn's disease last year. When I was 16, I started experiencing various symptoms such as migraines, weight loss, bloating, extreme thirst, irregular bowel movements, bloating and stomach pain. I also lost my period and was diagnosed with Raynaud's syndrome. Typically, my doctors could't figure out what was wrong because all of my blood work was more or less okay. I knew something was wrong so I cut out gluten and diary completely, focused on healthy foods, and I started exercising regularly. I experienced significant improvements and I managed to gain bit of weight and get my period back on my own, refusing to take hormonal therapy. However, problems persisted and I was pretty sure I have Crohn's before my doctors could confirm it. They found out from an MRI that the damage was already done, and I had a small stenosis in the terminal ileum. This is why I experienced constant bloating and didn't have much appetite. The disease was not active, but the damage it has done was causing me problems. In December 2018, I had a surgery to remove this part of the small intestine (around 5 centimetres). Now I am determined to live without taking usual medications they prescribe. I am not on therapy and I'm waiting for a colonoscopy, which will determine whether there is any sign of active disease. All of my blood work (conventional tests) is okay, besides my liver enzymes (ALT and sometimes the others), lipase, amylase and cholesterol being consistenly elevated over the past three years. Liver enzymes are not very high, so my doctors say it's probably nothing, but I'm again afraid they don't pay attention to anything that is just slightly off. I eat very healthy, absolutely no processed food, variety of organic fruits and vegetables often coming from my grandparents, no gluten and diary, exercising 5 times a week. I used to be very stressed while studying, but I took the past six months off to focus on my health, educate myself a bit more and get stronger after the surgery, so I would say I'm much more relaxed now than I used to be. I'm taking omega 3, vsl probiotic, curcumin and boswellia to fight inflammation (my doctor even acknowledged this could be more helpful than Pentasa). Could you think of a reason why enzymes would be elevated and do you have a suggestion of what I could ask my doctors to run, to make sure everything is okay? Symptoms that I still have are irregular periods and thirst that doesn't go away no matter how much water I drink. I've been tested for different types of diabetes, but all came back negative. Could this be a sign of something connected to the liver or pancreas? I'm based in Croatia so I cannot do any testing, but I hope to move to Belgium soon. If I manage to run some test with you, what would you recommend I do first? Is there anything else I could do or take in the meantime to support my body and balance it? Thank you for your time and everyday efforts, I am beyond grateful to have access to so much knowledge you share, it's truly priceless! Best, Ivana Cassidy: Hi Dr. Cabral! Can you talk about what supplements (and dosing) you give your kids daily and what you give them (and dose) when they are sick? Would you consider doing a podcast on kids health? I would love to learn more about how to support my 5 year old's health from a prevention stand point. Can kids use all of your supplements the same as adults? I saw on your site there is a section for kids but unsure the doses they can have and which supplements they should take daily and how much. Also, my 5 year old is having internment headaches (she fell when she was 2 and had a CAT scan and was cleared and just this past year had a MRI and was clear), anything you would recommend as far as testing for her and/or supplements? So appreciate everything you do! Thank you for changing the world! :) Cassidy: Hello. Can my five year old daughter have the daily nutritional support shake powder, magnesium, omegas and probiotics you sell? If so, can you tell me what dose of each she can have? Thank you! Luke: Hi Dr.Cabral. Thanks very much for answering my previous question on your daily house call. I suffered a severe knee injury thee years ago where I snapped my ACL, MCL and had meniscus tearing. I rehabilitated this without surgery and have since returned to sport. Just recently I have twisted my knee again and due to the lack of stability without an ACL I have again sustained damage to my meniscus. I don't want surgery but this looks like the only option now for me to return to sports. I have 2 questions. 1. Is there anything else that you know of that can heal my ACL without surgery or any other natural remedies I could try? 2. If surgery is the only option what should I do before and after this to help my body through it as I am trying my best to do things as naturally as possible.

1254: Strange Sensation, Kidney Cyst, Pyrolle Disorder, Undermethylator, Histamine Intolerance, Coffee on Detox, PFAPA "Auto-Inflammatory Disease" (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral Im currently week 10 of the cbo protocol and also completed the detox prior to the cbo. I have been having this strange sensation usually after i eat majority of the time where my stomach bugles out, its like my stomach on the upper left side is bloated almost, its not painful just strange sensation like something isnt right (this has been ongoing prior to starting the cbo). Im studying IHP and learnt it could possibly be the LES isnt closing properly, or low hcl. Since starting the cbo i also have been getting pain that is in my upper left side sometimes right and below my neck mid back all upper. Could this be related? Would you have any idea what this could be? I had a abdo ultrasound, gallbladder was fine but showed a small cyst in my kidney and liver? Many thanks joanna Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral I have just been diagnosed with a simple cyst on my liver and one on my kidney. I am week 10 of the cbo and completed the detox prior. Do you know what could possibly cause these cysts and how i can treat them naturally?? Could it be a build up of toxins not been excreted? What causes cyst to develop in the body? I did come off the oral contraceptive pill in aug 2018 and since then have been very depleted in minerals and found out i was very acidic and was getting stomach cramps etc. I heard a acidic body could cause these also. What are your thoughts? Many thanks for taking your time to answer these questions greatly appreciated. Joanna Joanna: Hi Dr cabral Thankyou for taking the time to answer all these questions. I have been diagnosed with high pyrolls disorder about 1 year ago, which means i dont absord zinc or b6 well. I take both b6 and zinc.I take about 50mg of zinc before bed and also whats in the DNS, and i take b6 as part of your activated b vitamins. My question is; im currently week 10 of the cbo and working on gut healing and absorption however im still not absorbing zinc, i have white spots on my nails and they just don't disappear. What can i do to better absorb zinc. I take zinc picolinate (brand is NOW from iherb? ) many thanks Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral I have been told i am a undermethylater and was prescribed NAC and Sam-e for serotonin production. My question is, is the supplement sam-e neccessary, i have started adrenal soothe recently however as i have histamine issues i get bad hayfever and sinus so is difficult to take due to ashwahganda causing histmaine intolerance. Can you heal from undermethylation is this something i will always have to live with ? I found sam-e dosent do much for me however im sure its doing something. Thanks cabral :) Joanna: Hi Dr cabral I just wanted to know how you healed your histamine intolerance? Over the years what did you do? I have a histamine intolerance and cant eat high histamine foods or take adrenal soothe cause of the ashwahganda makes me react.Im completing the cbo but have reintroduced alot of fruits like bananna and pinapple etc which is causing me alot of hayfever sinus etc I think this could be a big underlying roor cause for alot of my issues How can i slowly treat this so i can one day tolerate more histamine foods and have less allergys Ps. I do have ashma since i was little and have always suffered allergys etc thankyou Magda: Hello - I am going to start the 7 day detox program this Friday morning, May 10. I see that a cup of herbal tea is optional. Is it optional to have a cup of coffee in the morning upon waking? Or not recommended during this detox program? Thank you, Magda Kate: Hello Dr Cabral My 9 year old son has been unwell for years on and off. An immunologist is pretty sure he has PFAPA an autoinflammatory disease. Do you have any treatment options for this? Thanks.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1254 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1249: How to Control Your 3 States of Mind (MM)

The reason why people do not achieve the life they want has nothing to do with the body or intellect or any other genetic factor... Most people have shortcomings in life and come from imperfect backgrounds...

1248: Supplements Without Dieting, Teenager Protein Limit, "Healthy" Processed Meats, Bed-Ridden, CBO on Birth Control, 2nd Opinion on Sinuses (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Anonymous: Hi, I was wondering whether there is any point in purchasing the DCD or candida & bacteria overgrowth protocol if you are not willing to follow the nutritional guidelines? I have been following a clean diet according to many of your recommendations since doing the DCD earlier this year. Unfortunately this has now slowly spiraled me back into former patterns of disordered eating. I previously had a clinically diagnosed eating disorder which I recovered from, but whenever I try to follow any sort of nutritional guidelines I end up back in that very negative place, even if my intentions were wellness based. I have therefore decided that this is not the path for me. I still want to do what I can for my health and therefore wonder if there are health benefits when only taking the supplements of the above protocols or whether it is not really worth the financial investment when not following the diet as well? Many thanks for all of the work that you do!! Krista: Hi Dr. Cabral, Quick question for you : how much protein do you recommend pre-teen and teenage boys get on a daily basis? Specifically I’m trying to figure out for my 11 & 14 year old boys (who are on the leaner end weighing 55 and 75 pounds respectively). Just wanting to make sure they are getting enough but also not too much…! Thanks so much for all you do! Larissa:Hi Dr. Cabral! What are your personal thoughts on the "healthier" alternatives to the standard "processed meats?" I know you've mentioned that the Mayo clinic found that Processed meats are definitely carcinogenic. What about Sausages and Hot Dogs made from organic / pasture-raised animal meat without the added Sodium Nitrate and those brands that say "no added sugar?" Thank you for all you do! :) Ari:hi I have depression and anxiety & am 21 years old. I am super low mood ( have been since I was 5 years old) and cannot get out of bed without adderal etc. I have been getting recurring sinus infections for at least the past 10 years, took birth control for 2 years, and have taken anti-biotics more times than I can count. I am going to do a DCD, and CBO protocol. Should i be doing anything else on the hormone front regarding the past birth control use? Nora: Hi, I get really bad periods and have depression & anxiety. Birth control pills are the only thing that have sucessfully gotten my period under control. I really want to take care of my gut as well as improve my liver function. Can I do the CBO protocol while on hormonal birth control pills? If I am taking hormonal birth control, how can I seal my leaky gut? Beth: Hello. I am an avid listener to your podcast and have been truly inspired by your knowledge. Thank you so much for all you give. I understand that this may not be answered for up to 12 weeks but I am desperate for an answer to some of my husband's health problems. I think I know that you're going to tell us to get him do all the tests, but being in England and having everything shipped over through you guys will cost. I will try to find a functional doctor near me over here but I don't feel like I can trust anyone but you! My other intuition tells me that he needs to see an Ayurveda Dr but Ayurveda is so unknown over here that it will be really difficult to find someone to help him. His problems are as follows: cold-induced urticaria, blocked sinuses; resulting in terrible headaches occasionally, blocked Eustachian tubes so he can hear constant clicking in his ears and now he has lost his sense of taste which came about after a recent tummy bug. We cut out meat and dairy (95%) from our diet last September and he has been to see a kinesiologist and so now he was told that his body doesn't like, pork, dairy, alcohol, sugar, chocolate, caffeine, prawns so he has cut out all of those. He used to drink a medium amount (probably about 2-3 beers and 2 glasses of red wine) every night and has cut back to almost zero since Christmas. It seems to have made no difference. On the odd occasion he has had a few beers (like twice since Christmas) he has ended up with such a bad headache the next day, accross the forehead, we presume linked to sinuses. He was told by his kinesiologist that all his organs are fine, liver is working well (which I was surprised about considering the amount he has drunk over the years!), strong digestion, no candida/sibo etc. He hasn't been to a regular Dr for about a year now because they told him it would 'probably just clear up'. Anitbiotics didn't work for him. I am worried that his sinusitis is never going to clear up (he has had it for 3-4 years) and now I am worried his sense of taste won't come back. Do you think they are blocked permanently (ie the damage has been done)? Lastly, he has taken your Sinus Support (3 per day for 2 months) and it hasn't done anything (yet?). We have completed Deepak Chopra's Ayurveda quiz and he is a Pitta (81) Vata (69) Kapha (50). He works really hard manually and usually 6 days per week, I know he needs to rest more ...but he is a Pitta!! Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer. I look forward to hearing any response.Kind regards, Beth   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1248 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1247: Eggs & Bacon, Lions Mane, Anti TG vs. TPO, The Real CBO, Detox Before CBO, Metal Fillings, Milk Thistle, Tongue Spots & Coating (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jordan: Hi Dr Cabral. I am a collegiate athlete and so typically I train for 3 hours a day (2 hrs of sport, 1 hr of weight room stuff). How can I make sure I am getting enough calories in? I'd even like to build muscle if possible. I know you aren't a fan of eggs and bacon first thing in the morning but taking a protein shake and a bowl of oatmeal only fills me up for around two hours. Should I start taking more protein shakes (although i get gas and bloating with whey)? I know there is some healthy plant based mass gainer shakes that use plant protein, gluten free oats, and organic maltodextrin, maybe i should try those? anyways, I would appreciate any advice. Thanks! Christina: Dr Stephen Cabral, you are such an inspiration and I have gained so much knowledge from your book “The Rain Barrel Effect” and from listening to your podcasts.I came across a mushroom called Lions Mane. It had some supporting research on the positive impacts it has with Dementia and depression. My question is: have you read or heard about Lions Mane, and what your thoughts are on the effects of this mushroom. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Katy: Hi Dr Cabral! I recently became a nurse practitioner and have started with IFM certification program, yay!! I have a question regarding my own labs. My TSH is 3.1 FT3 is 2.2 FT4 1.1 RT3 is 10 TPO 17 ANTI-TG 928 I restested 4 weeks later and numbers were pretty much the same. I realize my thyroid is sluggish. I however have NO signs of hypothyroid except a little bit of stubborn lower body fat. I am 30 years old, have no medical history, I'm very active and eat a paleo diet 90% of the time. I somewhat acknowledge that I may feel better with a little thyroid hormone but Im not ready to start that at this time. My REAL question is ..... I don't understand why my anti-tg is so elevated but TPO is not.... I am working to lower this to the best of my current knowledge. Can you explain why we seem to focus more on TPO and I don't hear as much about anti-tg and wouldn't both be elevated? Anonymous: Hello Dr Cabral, I have been listening to this podcast for some time now and I appreciate all the information you share. Thank you! I have been suffering with pain, throbbing pain at the rectum that can last for hours, making it difficult to sit; following bowel movements for approximately 5 years now. A bit of background is 5 years ago I had an procedure to correct a anal fistula and I have never been the same since both physically or mentally. The procedure was excruciating and tortuous. I have since seen many doctors to seek help for my consistent pain. I’ve had many treatments to help with pain including Botox, steroid creams, estrogen creams, hemerriod creams, opioids and I have also eliminated certain foods that I noticed caused more pain such as almonds - I’m not sure why consumption of almonds affect me in this way, they don’t change my bowl motion just the pain. I don’t suffer constipation and sometimes have lose stool but the consistency of my stool has no correlation to the pain, it is the passing motion that results in the pain. I am able to manage life since removing almonds which is amazing considering all the other interventions I’ve had that didn’t give me any results, but I would love to be pain free. I will not have surgery again as I was in such a bad place after the initial surgery where I saw no hope for my life due to the immense pain I was in. Do you have any idea what is wrong with me and what I might be able to try? I’ve tried candida cleanses, gut protocols, elimination diets, I do FM detoxes regularly, eat a clean diet, had a stool test that showed strep and low ecoli and low diversity of probiotics and I’m doing protocol to address this now. I’m really at a loss and I’m hopeful that you might be able to suggest something to try. Thank you and kindest regards. Susana:For someone dealing with candida, do you suggest doing a detox first and then the candida protocol or the other way around? Winter: Hi. I am a 55 year old female who is wanting to detoxify the metals in my body. I am showing signs of autoimmune disease but otherwise healthy. I would like to start with the 7 day detox program however I have metal fillings. Could the 7 day still help or do the fillings nullify the process? Thank you. Anonymous:Hi Dr. Cabral, I am at a loss. After going off birth control (that I was on for 10 years) due to experiencing anxiety and chin breakouts, my hormonal acne has never been worse. I take milk thistle and a B complex as well as eat a very clean, whole food vegan diet. After doing research, i am doing everything right, but I am still experiencing terrible cystic acne. What can I do to help balance my hormones naturally? Thank you. Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral and team! I'm really struggling with inflammation. I have done the 21 day detox, CBO, gut rebuilding protocols and my tongue still has red painful spots and a weird pattern that is white. My OAT did show some yeast overgrowth, but for some reason my body is struggling to rid it. I got desperate and even tried months of a strong antifungal pharmaceutical with the keto diet. My tongue did not improve. My biomedical doctor thinks I need to give LDN a try to help decrease inflammation. I've done multiple labs, including your adrenal/ thyroid, OAT, IgG food sensitivity, stool, HTMA, and I also do a lab called NutEval. Shockingly my labs look good besides a little Estrogen dominance (taking Estrogen Dominance), little yeast overgrowth, aluminium in my HTMA, and low omega 3s. I do notice improvements with taking 2000mg of omega 3s and CBD oil twice a day, so I feel like that is sign I need to focus on anti inflammatories. I know you can't give medical advice and I know you don't do pharmaceuticals, but could you share your opinion on LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone).

1245:The Deadly Form of Belly Fat & How to Remove It (TT)

Believe it, or not, not every form of body fat is created equal... There's actually a form of belly fat that accumulates mostly in the belly area that can create ALL the major causes of early mortality... The problem is in "diagnosing" this type of fat and figuring out how to shrink since it lies so deep in the body...

1244: The Real Truth About Fat Loss & Gain (WW)

On one of last week's podcasts, I mentioned something that triggered an avalanche of questions and comments... The topic was based on how humans do not increase the number of fat cells as an adult - even when they gain weight... So that then led to how is it that people continue to gain weight and increase fat?

1243: The “Anti-Nutrient” Mineral Blocking Myth (TWT)

Sometimes in today's culture, we hear a snip-it of research or news and we run with it as if it were the whole truth... The problem is that as you begin to unravel most media-driven fads we start to see that there are holes in the theory and that the story gets much deeper... This is absolutely the case when it comes to phytates and phytic acid in certain foods, which is why I want to do a deep dive into the falsities surrounding this topic...

1241: Dosha Mindset, Starting Detox, Natural Blood Thinner, Best Berry, Maintaining Gut Health, Vasectomy Revisited, Ulcerative Colitis, Amino Acid Supplement (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Anton: Hi Dr. Cabral.If you only knew how much you have affected my life in a positive way you would be proud of yourself ;-)! I have listened to every episode of The Cabral Concept and I'm a IHP L1 & L2 student of yours :-)!Because I'm a client of your private concierge practice I could access to the Dosha breakdown. I have to say that I was a little bit surprised about my score.Not in a bad way I just thought that my dominant body type/dosha type was Vata, but it was Pitta.You have spoken about that the body type and mind can differ. You for an example have said that your mindset is 99% Pitta. But Pitta isn't you dominant quality in your physical body constitution.I don't know if this question make senses but do you have any tips or ideas how a person can find out their"Dosha- Mindset"?I understand that self awareness is a big one here, but I think this is really interesting and I would love to hear your view on this type of question. Susan: Hi I wanted to know if you recommend the detox as a starting point for everyone, regardless of what health issues they're dealing with. I was diagnosed several years ago with Lyme disease and candida and my major symptoms now are chronic fatigue, brain fog and trouble staying asleep at night. Also, I'm 54 years old and going through menopause. I could lose around 5 pounds but I wouldn't want to lose much more than that. If I should start with the detox, would you suggest the 7, 14 or 21 days? Thank you Susan Mark:Hi Dr. Cabral, I have listened to hundreds of your podcasts and have learned so much from you. I appreciate the fact that you portion your time out in the endeavor of passing on the wealth of health knowledge you have gained over the decades to ensure more people can be helped. I can't thank you enough.I would like to ask you a question about a health issue my wife is having. First, some background: She is 71 years old, has had chronic back pain for 40 years and her pain has gotten the worse it has ever been this past year. Opioids no longer provide more than 5-10% of pain relief. She had an intrathecal pump implanted in her back a month ago. She is getting some better pain relief from the Prialt in the pump and has hopes that as the dosage of the Prialt is slowly raised, that she will get even more pain relief--enough to actually allow her to lead a more productive life and work on other health issues (gut) that have needed attention for years. Getting closer to the question: She had neck fusion surgery in 2010 that required her to be in the hospital for weeks. She was in a hospital bed for two weeks with no walking at all due to the intense post surgical pain. At the end of the two weeks, she had a Pulmonary Embolism that required a 14" blood clot be removed from her pulmonary artery. She was given a 5% chance of living through the emergency surgery and she beat the odds. She had no history of blood clots--we feel that she developed the clot from being bedridden for two weeks. She was put on Coumadin by her PCP and has continued to take it to this day. We have asked multiple conventional doctors if she needs to continue taking the blood thinner for life, and they never really answer the question. We assume they don't want to assume liability if she were told she could discontinue blood thinning medication but then formed another clot.. Here's the question: I'm not going to ask you if she could stop taking Coumadin. What I would like to ask you is if you have ever had this type of question come up with a past patient of yours, and if so, were you able to help your patient decide whether or not to stop taking a blood thinner, and what types of considerations did you discuss to make the decision? Any feedback would be most helpful. Thank you again for taking my question, and thank you for being the giving person that you are. Josh: What is more beneficial for a holistic diet approach, blueberries or cranberries? Therese: Hi,Just finished the candida and sibo protocol. Feeling much better! Going forward what supplements should I take to best support my digestive system. Thanks! Best,Therese Nick: H Dr Cabral,you have become the foundation for my health and wellness and I use you as a mentor to help me make the right choicesI have had 4 kids now and we have decided that that's enough, so I was looking into vasectomy's or natural options I listened to your house call 848 pod cast where it was touched on. What Iv taken from that is that although the procedure is 95% safe (1 in 2000 people have failure ) there are small failure risks with the procedure. Still you don't really want to be having operations if there's natural ways to do the same thing. you alluded to this in his pod cast, but didn't actually say what they were? just that any natural alternatives vs a physical operation would be better than having a vasectomy. I just hoped that he or you might be able to provide some info or a link on what the Natural alternatives are?Regards Nick Amanda: Cabral Team, I have really enjoyed listening to the podcast and hearing about the great work you all do. I am a 25 years old, female and was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at 18. I have been taking my prescribed dose of 4.8G Lialda Mesalamine daily my entire diagnosis. I’m hoping to be pointed in the right direction. My most recent blood work shows elevated levels of bilirubin in my liver and am concerned that my rain barrel is almost full. Many thanks, Amanda. Jay: Hi Dr Cabral. I am a professional athlete and I am wondering what you think about taking Essential Amino Acids for building muscle?

1240: Gastroparalysis, Fluoride Acne, Antipsychotics, Mouth Ache, Coming Off Birth Control (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Valeria: Hi dr cabral I believe I have gastroparalysis. For about 2 years my hunger has been abnormal as it used to be. Especially after I have cheat days I can end up having no hinger for 3 days at one point lasted weeks and when I do feel hungry its something super small. Are there anyways to bring back my normal hunger? If tried fasting and also doesn't work. Jess: Thank you for all you do! Can you talk about the flouride acne connection. I and many others I have found online have great skin while abroad and horrible skin the second I am back in the states. We are also the only country that has high levels of flouridated water....How can we avoid flouride and therefore help get clear skin? Is there something I can put in bathwater to help decrease flouride if i dont have ability for filter? Darren: Hey Dr Cabral. Good show as always. Really admirable how the shoe's is consistently of the highest quality and you never seem to run out of topics to educate the masses on. My question is with regard to your personal view on prescription medication. Are medications for psychological disorders over prescribed in your opinion? Is the American population too reliant on them or are doctors too eager to give them out? Can antipsychotics cause brain damage or whatever side effects? What would be your first line of attack before giving someone who has perceived mental issues drugs or your recommendation for someone who wishes to come off them in a safe way? There are many who argue thelat their body can't produce serotonin etc so that's why prozac and other pharmaceuticals come in handy. Surely there are other means before going down that path, right? I am not personally suffering from any issue and I am aware you cannot legally claim to treat, cure any disease but I'd like to know your Modus operandi and views on topic as I believe it makes for healthy debate. Keep up great work. Daniel: I’ve been studying your teachings for a little over a year now. When I first discovered your podcast my average weekend was spent lying in bed with zero motivation to do anything. I had no desire to see friends, tend to the house chores are even visit my family. This of course was a recent addition to the life long chronic allergy battle I fought through. Today I look over my lab work and see the pollen build up on the sidewalks of Houston and remember what my life used to be like before I found you. 3 protocols and lots of nutrition later I'm now living the life is always dreamed of having. I wanted to thank you for that first. By the time this airs I should be wrapping up L2 IHP and I'm going to take all this gratitude I have for you and use it to help as many others as I possibly can. Man-to-Man -you're my hero.My Q: After breaking a water fast, the very moment that food enters my mouth, the roof of my mouth aches with extreme tenderness. It has always done this no matter what I break the fast with. Recently discovered it happened to my mother also during the fasting part of the Detox and even found another member in the group who experienced the same. Unfortunately these are the only three people in my life who I can relate to other than ONE other I had found on a massive Google search years ago, still with no explanation. The symptom does reside on its own in anywhere from 3-24hrs. Would love your thoughts Dr. C Stephanie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’m going to be getting off my birth control in the next couple months. I am 26 years old I am currently taking the contraceptive pill and have been on the same one since I was 18 years old.

1238: The Problem with Training for Your Body Type (TT)

If following a unique diet based on your body makes sense why wouldn't we hold the same philosophy around exercise... The truth is that bodies come in various shapes and sizes and we've been taught for thousands of years through Ayurvedic Medicine that each "Dosha" requires a specific set of movements in order to keep it healthy and balanced... And the inverse is also true - which is why I felt compelled to share today how many people are exercising incorrectly based on their individuality...

1236: The Molecule that Creates Inflammation and Aging in Your Body & Brain (TWT)

One of the reasons why we begin to age faster and our bodies start to break down is because of a decreased ability to deal with inflammation... But, always keep in mind that inflammation is never a root cause disease in the body, and therefore, we have to look deeper as to what may be causing the inflammation in the first place… Turn into today’s #CabralConcept 1236 to discover the molecule that creates inflammation and aging in the body & brain – Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1236 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1235: How to Become the Creator of Your Life (MM)

One of the problems I see that holds people back from achieving all their hopes and dreams is a lack of belief in themselves... They’ve essentially given up before they’ve even gotten started...

1234: YouTuber, Smoothie Food Combining, Vitamin E Considerations, Egg Allergy, Androgenetic Alopecia, Afrin Addiction (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Ian: can you address a specific youtube channel called “james…? he talks about killing viruses but has conflicting views and i would love if you could go check out some of the things he says about detoxing and getting rid of viruses and give your opinion on it! Laura: I just listened to your podcast on food combining - wow! Thank you! I now realize that fruits are best eaten alone. With that being said, I drink a smoothie every morning with organic fruit, greens powder, ginger, lemon and fresh greens (kale, spinach). Should I be removing those fresh greens from my fruit smoothie? I see that fruits and vegetables digest at different rates, and it can cause fermentation. Thank you! Christi: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thanks so much for taking the time to care. I'm really curious what your take would be on some new research on vitamin E featured on Ben Greenfield's podcast titled "Why your vitamin E supplement" I don't know if you listen to his podcast or if you would be willing to do so and provide your opinion on a Friday review or something. Thanks! Patrick: Hey dr Cabral Doing better than ever since finding you podcast almost a year ago I’ve listened to almost all of you podcast and did hear similar ones to mine. Like I mentioned before I’m 5/7 down 40 pounds now 165 since taking some of your advice Like 12 hour fast and sauna about 3 days a week for 20 min, my question is about eggs I’ve been eating eggs 2 to 3 days a week my entire life with no trouble at all, for the past two and a half months I can’t eat eggs any more . About a hour after I eat them I’ll get a stomach ache that last about 3 or 4 hours. I did stop eating them for a month and once I Decided to have them again I had the same exact pain again so I skipped another month and same result , nothing else bothers me at all and I haven’t been on any type of medication In the pass few years for anything so I’m not sure what changed in the pass few months. love you dns both flavors and keep up the amazing work . Thank you Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral! I am a 31-year-old female that has diffused hair loss. It runs in my family as both of my parents and my two siblings have it (androgenetic alopecia). I was wondering if there is a possibility for me to halt and reverse my hair loss even though it is genetic (hair loss started 3 years ago). I currently do have some thyroid and hormonal imbalances that I am working to balance and think this may have triggered early onset alopecia for me. I am on the 21-day DCD at the moment and trying to figure out my next steps for it. Didn't know if your clients have had positive results in regrowing their hair and wanted your thoughts on it. Thanks much! Pam: I love your podcast and mission! My question is about “getting off” Afrin nasal spray. My situation a bit unique because I probably won’t be ready to stop for a few months. My airway is impinged by my lower jaw, as seen on a cone beam x-ray. In my teens I had 4 teeth pulled for braces and over the next 4 decades bone and structure shifting narrowed my palette and pulled my lower jaw toward my neck.A few years ago, when breathing due to stuffiness lasted months and I had not had the x-ray done yet, I resorted to using nasal spray. Finally, at a holistic dentist’s office they were able to see what was going on -- and they have seen it plenty of times in people who had the teeth pulled for orthodontic work! Lucky for me, I’ve been able to utilize their cutting edge knowledge by using an “appliance” to expand my uppers, creating the space that was taken away. That step is completed and now I will wear braces for maybe a year to move the teeth forward.Sometime during this movement, my jaw will be moving forward, taking the pressure off the airway. When this happens I will stop the spray. (I’d love to stop now but have tried many times so decided to wait until I know the airway is open). One key is to avoid inflammation in my neck as much as possible.Do you have any tips for helping my body get off this spray? I have the Sinus Support, Nutribiotic Nasal Spray Plus, and Nutribiotic throat spray. I have been taking the Sinus Support even though I’m using the spray, should I continue?I can’t thank you enough for answering these House Call questions and sharing the vast amount of knowledge you’ve gained.

1233: Postpartum Thyroiditis, Viral Protocol, Ayurvedic HCl Formula, Health Coaching Standards, Fungal Testing, Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Kayla: I’ve become an avid listener the past couple of months as I have recently taken a renewed natural approach to my health. I appreciate your wealth of knowledge that you so graciously share with the world! I am 4 months post partum and am going through quite a roller coaster of thyroid issues. I was diagnosed hypothyroid during my pregnancy with a small node that was detected. The node has since shrunk in size but my thyroid problems have persisted. I have been diagnosed with postpartum thyroiditis, with a thyroid that went hyper and now is extremely hypo. My endo is sending me biweekly for blood work to constantly update my synthroid dosage. I am getting frustrated by the traditional medicine approach to thyroid management as it is seriously effecting my breast milk supply. My goal is to excusivly breastfeed my daughter, but have had to supplement with formula as a result of the thyroid issues. I want to resolve this in the most wholistic way so I can give my daughter the best nutrition. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Gio: I started one of your protocols: Here's the backstory and my question involving it (Thank you in advance!): My friend is a big fan of your podcast and recently came across episode 760 and shared you and it with me. I am living with herpes and have done a multitude of natural remedies and probably some "snake-oil saleman" like remedies in the last few years. I've had anal warts completely disappear but one came back after a few years recently following a lot of stressful exertion and time in my life. I've been doing everything I can to rid myself of this pesky virus for good, as I believe there must be a way. I have not taken antibiotics in over 15 years (I'm currently 32 5'11" & 165 lbs), have a 95% clean diet, and have fought every sickness with whole foods. As a bird's eye view of my diet, I eat for mostly pitta, mostly vegan (lots and lots of dark leafy greens), and eat the highest quality grassfed/grassfinished ground beef & pasture raised chicken. I rarely eat processed food, exercise regularly but stress and lack of sleep wear my immune system down rather quickly. When I read up & and listened in on your Episode 760, I felt I finally found missing pieces to the puzzle in attempting to rid myself of this virus. My curiosity had wondered that maybe my immune system has never stopped fighting the virus and therefore my get exhausted more quickly as I age. Well, one week ago Friday (March 22, 2019), I was helping my roommate overcome a fever and sickness, and I believe I may have caught a bug from him, as I began to get a scratchy throat. Then that Sunday the 24th with a limited budget, I began the ACV+Cayenne+GSE water 3xdaily and the lysine+vitamin 1000mg each 3x daily, and I believe the wart shrank considerably. What is strange is that I've been extremely congested this last week and blowing a lot of green mucus (recognizing there's an infection). I was wondering if this could be die off system of the bacteria causing the infection and might be a natural culling process of the virus if in fact it's been residing within the bacteria? I'm going to continue with your regiment up to 2 weeks while saving to get the rest of your recommedations in April. Could you provide any feedback for the congestion/sickness I'm experiencing; is the congestion/infection potential/usual of he die off process for herpes?  Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I hope my details are helpful rather than laborsome to read. Blessings and loving gratitude for all you and your teams do,Gio Nancy: Hi Dr. Cabral,I was wondering if there is a specific ayurvedic herbal formula that helps to rev up HCL production. I have become intolerant of HCL (per Zyto scan and symptoms that I had noticed recently after supplementing for decades due to achlorhydria.Thank you very much,Nancy Lee: Hi Stephen!I'm a woman in my mid 20's with a background in Nutritional science. I'm considering taking the IHP program but wondering how much is covered in terms of business/marketing. Many of my health coach peers have taken other certifications that left them feeling like they didn't know where to start, or how to find and reach out to new clients with email lists etc. Does the program provide you with a website such as IIN and IAWP? I'm also wondering if it's accredited by ICHWC or NANP, which seem to be the gold standard in holistic health coaching certifications. I believe the regulations for holistic practitioners will be stricter over time, so it would be reassuring for many to have that quality guarantee.Thank you Maria: Hello, I was wondering what you would recommend as far as far as tests and tx for my husband. He has skin issues that come and go, looks like a fungus, they are round lesions that appear. They itch and burn. Also has fungal issues with his toenails. Thank you for any help you can offer. Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - can you tell me if you have ever had a client with Membranous Nephrotic Syndrome. Since this is an autoimmune disease I would assume we would focus on the gut - maybe an OAT? What else would you suggest for getting to root cause and putting this in remission?

1229: Why Imbalanced Blood Sugar Causes Inflammation & Aging (TWT)

I think a lot of the time many of us believe that just because we are not diagnosed with diabetes that our blood sugar is under control… However, like any imbalance in the body, there are always varying degrees of severity… And just because you do not have a diagnosed “dis-ease” does not mean that your body is functioning at optimal capacity - and therefore that does come with side effects… So over the next two days starting with today’s #CabralConcept 1229 I want to share with you why your imbalanced blood sugar causes inflammation and aging in a profound way – Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1229 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1227: Cracked Heels & Dry Feet, Sun Skin Sensitivity, Type A Depletion, High-Grade HPV Virus, Children Supplement Review, Travel Supplements (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Vanessa: Thank you for all of the information you put out, quick and to the point. So my issue is that the palms of my hands and bottom of my feet are severely dry and cracked. It gets to where my heels crack so bad that my heel splits apart and hurts. My finger tips do the same thing. Although my primary says its just dry skin I feel as though there is something deeper, an imbalance. Quick history, I was diagnosed with MS and am on Ocrevus. I take a multi, mag citrate, Omega-3 and EPA, probiotics, gabapentin, I use Great Lakes collagen everyday and drink more coffee than I should. I do wash my hands (regular soap, NOT antibacterial) a lot since I am cooking and cleaning constantly (Stay-at-home mom :) ) and use lotion as often as possible but nothing lasts. I do have a moderate amount of stress with a soldier for a husband (lots of training and deployments). Could the dry and cracked palms and heels be connected with an imbalance? If so, what should I do and what testing category would this fall under on your site? Thanks so much and keep serving those in need of healing! Emily: Hi Dr. Cabral, First, I just want to say thank you! I love listening to your podcast and appreciate all of the knowledge you share. I’m curious what your thoughts are on heat/sun rash and sun sensitivity. I’m 32, Caucasian, female and have always been okay in the sun up until about 5 years ago. Now when I am in the sun, I tend to develop a rash on my hands and feet. My face also becomes extremely sensitive. When exposed to the sun I tend to breakout and will develop multiple (12-15) tiny pustule pimples all over my chin and cheeks and they feel very irritated. I do suffer from acne in general, it’s under control for the most part with food and lifestyle changes but the moment my skin sees sun, it flares up and becomes so irritated. This is with clean sunscreen as well. I am pretty fare skinned and I know my Irish grandmother is sensitive to the sun as well, but why now? I never used to have this issue and was always fine with sunscreen. Could it be a detox issue? Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you In advance for your help!!! Brennan: Hi Dr. Cabral- First off thank you so much for all you do and your endless information and education. I am continually impressed by your knowledge and passion for health and living our best lives! I am considering your integrative health practitioner courses to add to my nursing degree. A quick bit of background. I consider myself to be a pretty healthy individual. I am a 34 year old female. I am 5'1 and weigh 103 lbs. I am very active and have been my whole life. I am a former collegiate soccer player and since college I have gotten into crossfit, I love to push myself and it hasnt been until about a year ago when I started to have strange symptoms that I realized I needed to take a step back and incorporate more balance into my life... i've since added yoga weekly, the sauna 4-6 days a week, treadmill workouts, hitt classes, meditation, and have even done some acupuncture.nI have never considered myself an anxious person and have always been a great sleeper until the last 6 months. I have been waking up in the middle of the night most nights and it takes me at least an hour or 2 to get back to sleep. For the last 3 months I have had a strange feeling in my head, almost a light headed feeling, hard to focus, memory lapsing, and pretty bad fatigue. I haven't had 1 day in 3 months that I have been free of these symptoms. I just completed your 21 day detox and although I feel better my symptoms are still present. just maybe not as extreme. I am so confused as to what to do next... Ive had lots of thoughts. Maybe its lack of sound sleep. Maybe it has something to do with mold (although I dont know where I would have been exposed), maybe bacterial and yeast overgrowth in the gut, maybe hormonal... the list goes on :) I would love any and all suggestions you have for me! Thank you so much.Brennan Erin: Hi, has Dr Cabral ever successfully treated anyone with high grade HPV Virus? Thankyou Sarah: What are your thoughts on Juice Plus vitamins and supplements for kids? My kids won’t drink smoothies at 2, but will chew the gummy vitamins from Juice Plus. I feel like it’s a good choice until I can get them to drink a smoothie and add your supplements appropriate for their age. Would love to know your thoughts. Thank you for all you do! Erica: My husband and I will be traveling in Argentina and Brazil at the end of the year. My question is twofold: What can we do in the days and weeks leading up to the trip to travel and arrive there in the best health possible? What are some supplements, vitamins, etc that would be most essential to bring to keep ourselves healthy while traveling for 6 weeks? (Space is an issue with packing) Thank you so much for sharing so much helpful information.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1227 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1226: Dupuytren's Contracture, Rheumatic Fever, Morning Bloat, Non-Toxic Lotion, Low Estrogen in Women (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Rosemary: Asking for help for all who have (what supplements etc.,) for Dupuytren's Contracture (this from the internet) is a common problem that develops most frequently after age 40. It is more common in men than women, though both can be affected. It is usually hereditary occurring in people of European and Western Asian ancestry. It is unusual in Oriental or African-Americans. Dupuytren's usually starts as a painless nodule in the palm. It can progress to fibrous cords extending into the fingers, most commonly ring and little. These bands can cause contracture of the fingers. It can progress slowly or rapidly. The flexor tendons are not affected. Kerry: Hi DR Cabral, What you you advise to support a 8 yr old how has had rheumatic fever and now has been prescribed daily antibiotics till their 21st birthday. Your advice is so appreciated Jason: I’m wondering what you recommend as a sun screen that’s not toxic to the body. I’m looking for something you can use multiple times a day with summer coming up.. thank you Aston: Hi Dr. Cabral, I know you like to like to talk about doing things that support the body’s natural detox process. Even with a good diet of mainly plant based foods with some fish and good exercise of Pilates and yoga, I still will wake up sometimes very bloated/puffy. I have been into using jade rollers, dry brushing and foam rolling to help out my lymphatic system and it does seem to help a bit. I was wondering if there was a way to prevent the puffiness and what your thoughts are on these “trendy” tools. Thanks! Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’ve heard all your podcasts focused on estrogen dominance and your recommendations, but I was wondering if you could talk about low estrogen in women (who are too young to be going through menopause). Do you see this a lot in your practice? I’ve had extensive hormone testing done (both convention endocrinologist and integrative practioners) and my estrogen levels are consistently low, even when considering the e:progesterone ratio. I know you can’t make specific recommendations for me, but I was hoping you could spend some time discussing why this happens to some young women and what your suggestions are. What are the negative symptoms of low estrogen? How to balance these hormones? I think this would be really great for a lot of us struggling to find answers about our hormones when there is so much information out there is about pacifying too high of estrogen... but sometimes its the opposite issue! If you search up seed cycling for examples, so many articles and testimonials are about how it was aimed to cure their estrogen dominance and regulate their cycle. I know you mentioned that seed cycling could also help menopausal women with low estrogen, and that most women can benefit from it, but if you have any more to say on the topic (low estrogen in young women) I think there’s a lot of us who would love to hear your insights. side note: all other markers (cortisol, pituitary mri, FHS, thyroid) came back totally well and good. Haven’t had a period in 2 years, not on BC, on ultra sounds a lot of follicles present so I have been left with the “mild PCOS” diagnosis and very little options other than ‘not to worry’ because i will be able to have kids some day and that ‘there’s always the pill’ if I’m that concerned about mensturating regularly (which is definitely not an option for me ha). I have been really struggling with my health the past two years, so much so I had to take time off from college (academics are so important to me so this was a really big blow) and has had a huge impact on my mental and emotional help. I have been treated for parasites, eat a super healthy diet, and am currently following you CBO protocol. Without getting into EVERYthing I have tried and done (much like your journey, its been a wild ride), I guess I’m wondering if this hormonal imbalance really could all be related to stress and my emotional state (despite stress hormones being in normal range) that have resulted from all my gut and digestive issues. Thanks so much for all the information you share with us, I love learning as much as I possibly can to get to the bottom of this, and the podcast is so full of value, its truly amazing how much you offer free of charge. Thank you. best, Katie!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1226 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1223: What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About Low Thyroid & Metabolism (WW)

I honestly don’t believe conventional medicine wants to do anyone harm, but unfortunately, that doesn’t mean harm isn’t done... For example, in the case of low thyroid, tens of millions of people are medicated unnecessarily... Their symptoms and thyroid imbalances are crying out for help as to WHY there are imbalances in the first place... Those symptoms do not need to be medicated - They need answers as to why they’ve surfaced in the first place and what was the root cause... So on today’s #CabralConcept 1223 I’d like to cover what your doctor isn’t telling you about low thyroid & metabolism health imbalances - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1223 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

A lot of times we brush off our symptoms of low energy, brain fog, and other nagging health issues... We simply chalk them up to aging, stress, poor sleep, etc., but that simply isn't the case for most people...

1220: Baby Food Sensitivities, Herpes Testing, Boosting Immunity, Always Hungry, Belly Pain, Diabetics & Insulin Regulation, Chronic Back Pain (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Sarina: Hello there. Im in Adelaide Australia. I have a 8 month old baby who was born naturally, never had antibiotics or any vaccinations, fully breastfed yet she has food sensitivities and allergies. We have found she is sensitive to salicylates and bananas and allergic to cow and goat milk and im not sure about eggs or peanuts but too scared to give them. How can this have happened? What do you think can be done to help reverse this? She has been on gut infant pro probiotics and only recently started with just thrive spore probiotics. She is also on cod liver oil. Still being breastfed and on a very low salicylate diet. I am healing my gut with L glutamine, glycine and emu oil. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also she did have eczema too but this has all gone from the changes we have made but her food sensitivities have not changed. Thanks Kierian: is it possible to test for herpes virus after its gone dormant? Patrick: Hi dr Cabral still doing great since you answered my last question . I’m still getting in about 3 podcast a day and enjoy everyone of them, my question is about the mumps i live in Philadelphia and my nephew goes to temple college where right now there are 90 cases of the mumps . I wanted to know anout any information you know of that could be helpful to him so he doesn’t catch it and what someone can do if they do get it . Thanks so much you are the best. Jessica: Hi Dr. Cabral, love Your podcast and listen everyday! I feel like I have always had a faster metabolism and I’m hungry every few hours. I will eat dinner around 6 or so and try to go to bed around 9. However I’m always hungry right before bed and if that’s the case I can’t fall asleep or I wake up in the middle of the night starving. I’ve always just had a bowl of cereal, lately healthier cereal and unsweetened almond milk. I know it’s not healthy to eat right before bed but is this normal? Is there anything you would suggest that’s healthier than cereal? Thank you again! James: Hi Doc! I have multiple food intolerances and when I eat certain foods I get a pain in the side of my stomach, mostly on the left side of the belly button and occainsially on the right. It is like a dull lingering pain although before I cut out gluten and dairy it was a lot worse, i actually went to the hospital once because of the pain. My freind gets the exact same pain too and I was wondering if you knew the mechanics behind it as in what is happening specifically that me and my freind get a pain in the exact same place? Is it a specific organ that is being enflammed or is it the yeast/bacteria feeding in that position or something else? Just curious as to why it’s in the exact same place (slightly above the belly button about and inch or two to the left) all the time for me, my freind and others I have spoken to. Thanks a lot Doc!! Love the info x Karina: Hi, Dr. Cabral! My husband is a Type 1 diabetic. I was wondering what your overall approach was to managing Type 1 diabetes? His doctors have always told him to eat “normally” and to just pump insulin for however many carbohydrates he eats. When he gets a low blood sugar, I have organic date bars and bananas on hand (better than the processed bars and candy he used to use for lows).  Jeanette: Hi There, I wish to firstly thank you for the amazing podcasts you provide each and every day. I would like to ask your thoughts and possible research into hyperbaric therapy for chronic pain? And in particular back pain which has been ongoing for 8 years.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1220 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1219: Women's Hormones, PKD Causes, Constipation Enemas, Gut Testing vs. CBO Protocol, Best Fat to Fry In, Coffee/Tea Reaction (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Catherine: Dear Dr Cabral. Firstly thanks for everything - I've learned so much from you. After my system crashed four years ago you are my last port of call and I'm currently on your CBO protocol and have done the HTMA and food sensitivity and calls with your coach. My next one is the thyroid adrenal hormone and I've signed up for your practice. The stakes for me, as everyone, are very high as I have three children I want to be full of life for. You give me hope because you say if there is one person in your situation who has recovered then you can too. I fully believe this and have never ever given up hope. The issue is I have never seen anyone recover in my situation and many other practitioners have told me it is too late for me, so I am hoping that you can provide hope as I have refused to believe them and keep ploughing on. Im a 42 year old mum of three. I got amenhorrea in my early 20s while marathon training and was told by a gynaecologist that it was fine and would just save my eggs for later (I know, I'm learning not to be angry with this). I spent my 20s on and off the pill with the odd natural period and then my 30s doing IVF. This on top of years and years of antibiotics. After i had my third child i still never got my cycle. I pushed myself to the max doing a part time masters and then endurance training and then my body finally gave up. That was four years ago and I was put on thyroxine and bio identical hormones (oestrogen gel, testosterone cream and progesterone and dhea /7 keto) - mostly to protect my bones as i had already developed osteopenia - in my genes, but i allowed it to express by living a catabolic lifestyle. I trained as a yoga teacher and a health coach and have done everything in the destress protocol for the past four years and continue to do so. I've tried putting on weight but that hasn't worked. I have not done any endurance training for years and do all the vata exercise you discuss - walking, gentle swims and yoga and light resistance training a couple of times a week if i have the energy. My nutrition is pretty perfect, meditteranean based and i use your dns. I keep my mind set positive but it is hard as i go through phases of feeling awful. But I've finally come off the hormones and am writing to you to ask you this: Have you seen anyone at the age of 42, with my training, and amenhorrea history spanning nearly 20 years (with the pill and ivfs sprinkled throughout) ever regain their cycle??? Not one person or practitioner has been able to tell me that this is possible in their clinical history with so very many years of amenhorrea and ivfs. I know I have really damaged my body and over taxed it for twenty years and while I will be doing the thyroid adrenal hormone test anyway and working with your practice, I would just really like to know if you have seen this exact situation before? I know much younger women recover from amenhorrea but I've not seen anyone my age. Would it be better to just accept it and live my best life without chasing that ideal? Jason: Hi, have been a loyal 2 year listener and love your show. Have done a 14 day detox, feel great and love the Rain Barell Book. I have a nervous question though. my Son, an active 14 year old has just been initiallty diagnosed with paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia. I believe in getting to the root of causes but all the doctors talk about is drugs.. are you familiar with this? it looks like it targets a bunch of different areas of brain and nerves. But i'd really appreciate your thoughts and where to start. thanks so much and love all your work. Jason Taylor: Hey Dr. Cabral, thank you for your previous answer my naturopath and I have found a regimen of b vitamins and magnesium that has more or less eliminated the wired and tired feeling. My question today is regarding coffee enemas. I did them daily for several months when my liver was very swollen. my liver has since recovered (not swollen, but sometimes still tender). I was recently advised to stop the enemas after abdominal pain made me go to the family doctor - not Er or anything like that. The first doctor didn’t seem phased by my mention of the enemas but the second doctor was adamantly against it. To wrap it up, I decided to stop and it does seem that I had started to do more harm than good with them - mood problems improved and my need for cbd and turmeric seemed to decrease. However I still feel the need to do a coffee enema about once a week as I get incredibly bloated, constipated, and it feels as though fluid is building up in my abdomen. My question: i usually expel hundreds of stones that look like corn, but no corn in diet. For about a month while working with my naturopath I was clear of these stones, and since reducing my enemy frequency am now back to passing a mildly disturbing number of whatever these are. I was curious what your take and opinion was on coffee enemas and what these stones might be. Have seen several theories and will have asked my own naturopath by the time we read this on the podcast so no worries. Thank you for your time and sharing of life knowledge! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, Absolutely love your work. Discovered you via your Mind Pump interview last year. Thank you for all you do. I’m a relatively healthy woman in my mid-20s. To my knowledge, I have no serious digestive issues or symptoms. However my diet in the past  included processed foods, alcohol overconsumption (on a number of weekends in my early 20s), dairy, gluten, etc. My diet has changed a lot since then and I consume primarily  seasonal produce and wild caught fish. Right now, I can either afford testing or purchasing the CBO protocol. Which should I do? Or is there no need for either? Tracy: Hello! I have two questions. 1) I asked this in the support group but would love your personal input as well: I know cooking/frying in oil isn't ideal due to the oxidation (even coconut & avocado oil if I am correct?) but would frying in ghee be OK? I am trying to minimise cooking with fat but I do love the taste for some of my meals and do not always want to make them cheat meals. 2) I have a definite sensitivity to caffeine. I stopped drinking coffee years ago and do not miss it, however I often wish I could reap the benefits from things like green tea, matcha, certain caffeinated south American teas etc. However even these make me feel "wired" (and often tired), sometimes slightly dizzy, mild headache etc. What tests would you recommend to discover the cause of this, and should I strictly stay away from green tea? I find it really helpful to drink when fasting to curb hunger and wish I could occasionally have it as a 'pick me up' drink. I have heard that causes can be genetic as well, which would obviously be disappointing :-)... Funnily enough I have no issues drinking caffeinated drinks such as coca cola or energy drinks (although I do keep my consumption to a minimum for other obvious health reasons).

One of the many reasons why intuitive eating does not work until you become completely healthy (in mind & body) is due to the fact that food cravings are not always what they seem… Often times cravings can actually stem from certain metabolic imbalances or nutritional deficiencies… However, these cravings can also come from gut microbiome imbalances or certain dietary manipulations that are quite common practice right now… On today’s #CabralConcept 1216 I want to share with you why you still have food cravings and how we can go about rebalancing your body to then better understand and listen to what it needs - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1216 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1213: HLA-DR Genes, Ocular Pressure, Worn Out Body, Bunions (Hallux Valgus), Deciding on Holistic Practitioners (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Anonymous: Hi Doc, First thing I’d like to do is thank you. Great podcast, you’re helping a lot of people with all the information shared. Keep it up. I have a mold question in regards to genetics; The most popular mold physician says testing for specific HLA-DR genes is necessary to determine if the body is creating the antibodies to go after the molds in the body. I have what he calls the “dreaded gene” that is found in only 1% of population, meaning multiple sucestibility to mold/lyme/etc as my body apparently doesn’t create the antibodies against them. On top of this, I have a MTHFR mutation. So my question is wether this HLA-DR gene testing matters or not? Do the MTHFR/HLA-DR genetic tests all mean the same thing? There is much debate as to the credibility behind this theory so I was hoping to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks! Jenett: Hi Dr. Cabral, My friend was diagnosed with ocular pressure due to an imbalance of eye fluid production. He as told it can lead to glaucoma and blindness. Is there a way to balance this naturally? Thank you! Jenett Marissa: Dr. Cabral, I really appreciate you and all your time spent on sharing your years of reading and knowledge with our community. I found you by my research on Ayurveda and since finding you have listened to almost every podcast you have done. I feel like I have gotten my own "certification" in wellness by having all of this information you have shared. Thank you!! You have helped me, my friends, and my family live better. I have done a DCD, CBO protocol/finisher, heavy metal detox and use your shake, adrenal soothe, CBD, and other products daily. I am a 40-year-old vata body type and enjoy the gym. I like going in the morning (5am) and usually do it fasted. I don’t want any food, but some days I have a ½ banana for being vata (per your recommendation.) I have noticed over the years that I cannot do cardio to almost any degree without my muscles getting tight after and I used to get sleepy post the workout (approx. 2-3 hours.) I tried electrolytes during the gym, but it doesn’t help. My HTMA markers are normal. I enjoy being active, but have learned to not push it for the past 2 years, thinking that my body is too stressed. I now stick to mainly body weight exercises and no cardio, but I like getting better oxygenation with some increase in heart rate. Also, my morning temperature does not get over 97.6 degrees most days, only on the 2nd half of my cycle. My most recent Dutch hormone test showed my rising morning cortisol had been slightly low and my morning cortisol slightly high, with normal ranges the rest of the day. I test my HRV with my Oura ring and struggle to get that over the 40’s. My TSH in the past was between 5-9 and now is lowered to 2-3 with the help of Armour Thyroid at its lowest dosage. Why can’t my temperature, HRV go up? If you met me you wouldn’t think I had a low energy. I am lean and not overweight. I want to get all metabolism markers higher. Any guidance would help!  Mrs M: Dear Dr Cabral, I have searched but found no results regarding bunions (hallux valgus.) Can you recommend a natural treatment that does not involve surgery? I did a Google search and found all kinds of splints / straps / bandages and toe separators. I would very much appreciate if you could share any ideas on how to remedy this situation. I have only just begun to experience pain, I do not have a large growth and it’s only on my one foot. The big toe only points towards my other toes slightly. My mother and grandmother had it quite badly (my mother had hers removed surgically.) I have large, wide feet (European Size 43) which makes finding comfortable, well-fitting shoes for work (office job) nearly impossible. I’m also a runner but do not yet feel much pain when running (yet?) Would very much like to avoid surgery if possible. Thank you in advance for your help and feedback, it is very much appreciated. Mrs M. Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral, This is the second time I've written in to the Cabral concept and instead of listing symptoms, I'd like to ask you a more over-arching health question. I'm in my late 20s and have been struggling with physical and mental health issues for most of my adult life. As a young woman I made most of my mistakes early on because I was ignorant to the health care system and honestly wasn't a great advocate for myself. I allowed health professionals to diagnose and prescribe medication without questioning any of their methods. I thought doctors were altruists who cared for my well being and ultimately wanted to heal their patients. I was very wrong. I have a deep sense of distrust of doctors and although I see more healing in the natural medicine and holistic industry, I still find myself questioning whether the treatments will work. It's a different business than the traditional health care industry, but a business none the less. How do you, I, or anyone for that matter, sift through all the information out in the world today, and how do we know who to trust? Sometimes I wish life came with an instruction manual. I'm feeling defeated and would love your insight. Thanks for always spreading your knowledge and positivity.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1213 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1212: Eczema, Early Greying, Spore-Based Probiotics, Charcot Marie Tooth, Low RDW Blood Count (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Samantha: Hi Dr. Cabral! So happy my mom turned me on to you. I will get straight to the point! I have been getting small eczema patches on my forearms the last few winters (I am 28yo female) when never having them before. They started to show up in August of 2018, a lot sooner than I was expecting. My mom bought me a food sensitivity test (thinking there was a correlation) and low and behold I had high reactions to eggs, barley and wheat. Once I cut those out on elimination diet, my skin cleared! 30 days later I reintroduced one at a time to see reaction, and I have been dealing with the worst flare up of my life ever since (It is now March). My skin went crazy! Both my arms became covered and there were times when my skin was literally hot to the touch. I obviously cut out eggs and gluten, and eventually dairy, alcohol, nightshades, legumes and meat. My skin finally has started to calm down a bit. I took the stool test and was positive for E. Coli, Blastocystis Hominis, and some yeast (NG of candida, though). Starting parasite cleanse soon and also just purchased OAT to get more answers. My question is, is there a correlation between parasites/E. Coli and food sensitivites? Is it possible to eventually reverse these sensitivities? My diet is so restricted right now and losing too much weight, but it is the only way to keep my skin from being on fire and extremely itchy. Thank you for all of your guidance and the positivity you spread daily! I know this will be a while before it answered. I hope it can help someone else out there as well. Thank you! -Sammy Samantha: Hi! My name is Samantha and I love your approach on treating disease and other common health issues. For about a month now, I have been experiencing immense pain in my back, arms, and legs. I am 19 years old and I have been lifting weights for about three years. Lately, whenever I weight lift I get light headed, shaky, my feet get cold, and chest pain. It it is like my entire body has been drained of energy when I barely started my workout. I have went to many conventional doctors and they gave me diagnosis such as GERD, but I have had no improvement. I would love to hear your opinion and hopefully get some insight on what is wrong with me and how I can treat it, holistically. I eat a very balanced diet and I am always active, so I would really appreciate your help. Thank you! Ella: Hi Dr Cabral. I've recently come across your podcast through Melissa Ambrosini and I'm obsessed. Just wanted to say thank you for all your free information. My concern is this: I'm 22 years old and started getting grey hairs at 20/21. It's rapidly progressing and I find more and more every day. I've started to dye my hair because I am so self-conscious of going grey so young. Everyone tells me it's genetic but my intuition tells me something deeper is going on. The last 2 years of my degree was when this happened and I was stressed out of my mind (14 hour study days, no breaks, bad sleeping patterns, etc). I was also vegan for 6 years and am a vata body type (i've been transitioning out of this now after concerns that my overall health is depleting). I dont eat gluten but am always gassy or bloated after meals and sometimes feel so full and gross i dont want to eat. Can you please help me see if this is a mineral deficiency or if it's hormonally based? Which tests should I run? Thanks so much. Hannah: Hello hello! I was curious to know your opinion on spore-based versus non-spore based probiotics. So thankful for all you do! Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral ... cannot thank you enough for all that you do! Your energy and enthusiasm is infectious. i tell just about everyone I know about you and your podcasts! I’m Writing a question on behalf of a friend who was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth disorder - her feet go numb and sometimes her legs. The doctors say it’s hereditary and there is no other insight provided - how, why, what exactly is going on. Have you ever encountered this disorder? Are there tests you would recommend to find out if there is something internal going on that could be fixed that would also help this? Thank you for any insight! Darrell: Hey Dr Cabral. I am a regular voluntary blood donor but recently my blood count has been hovering around 13.5 which the nurse say is lower than normal for males. I am 34, weigh around 153, 5'6 height, vata pitta body type, really ripped, fit, no known issues. Is there anything that can be causing the low count, is it a cause for concern. Is there any product, supplement, herb or lifestyle recommendation I can take to boost the count. Thank you, keep up great work   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1212 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1206: Wrinkles Solution, Vaccine Discussion, Chronic Low Calorie Diet, Neurological Disorders, Traveler's Tummy, Fibroadenoma (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Mae: Hi Dr. Cabral!! Love your podcast and just started reading your book which is so informative. My question is about wrinkles. I just turned 30 and have started to notice more prominent wrinkles on my forehead and in between my eyes and around my eyes. I take really good care of my skin and wear sunscreen every day. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to lessen their prominence or prevent them from getting worse. I feel like at 30 they shouldn't be this deep yet! I know it's a vain thing but when I do so much to take care of my skin and body I just wonder if I could be doing more. I don't eat dairy, gluten, soy and minimal sugar. I try and follow a Paleo diet and eat a moderate amount of protein with lots of veggies and some fruits and fats. Anyways, I appreciate any advice! Thanks for all you do! Darrem: Hi Dr. Cabral. What are your personal views on the vaccination debate. I'm not asking your recommendations but if you're willing to divulge, do you believe vaccination is necessary or do you understand where the anti vaccine lobby is coming from? As always keep up great work. Fee: Hi A friend recommended your podcasts and i've been listening to you for just over a week and love it. I'm not sure if you can help, I'm based in Australia and I'm having a hysterectomy in 2 weeks and i'm really scared about how I will get my health and fitness back on track after the surgery and what to do in the 6-8 recovery period where I can't exercise. I currently work out for 1-1.5hrs, 5-7 days a week and eat a 900-1200 calorie diet Monday - Friday with often but not always indulgent weekends and make up the calories. Is this something you can help with or some advise would be amazing. Look forward to hearing from you. Kim: To whom it may concern,I was wondering if anyone from your team has had any experience with neurological disorders and know their symptoms. One of my family members is possibly dealing with a neurological disorder and has shown symptoms such as losing mobility in his arms and legs. Treatments used for Lyme and ALS have helped in various ways for some of the symptoms he has been experiencing. As of right now, I would like to hear and give my family member success stories if there are any that your team has experienced. It’s been discouraging for myself and family to hear that he will progressively get worse. Any and all help would be very appreciated whether it’s just a story or words of true encouragement. If someone from the team has had experience with something like this, I would also like to know if their services would be available as an option for my family member. Thank you, Kim James: Hey Dr. Cabral! Hope you are well, I really appreciate all the work you do, love the holistic approach you take and have learnt so much from your podcast. My questions is - I have been a long time sufferer of gut IBS type issues and am currently about to order the Parasite & CBO protocols in hopes of treating these, I am then due to go on holiday to Thailand later on in the year. I do not want to have all my healing work undone when I go to Thailand and get any gut bugs or infections like Bali belly / Thailand tummy etc. To summarise my question - do you have any tips/ideas on how to avoid contracting any gut bugs/infections and specifically in damaging the gut lining while abroad as I would hate making my intestinal permeability any worse or damaging it at all and having to go through these protocols/healing work again. Shall I take any supplements with me I.e. glutamine? Thanks a bunch, James Ps. Please do and interview with Paul Chek it should be easy now as he has just started a podcast - also do you know who he is? :):):) haha Thanks Doc! If you can only answer the first questions it’s fine. Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, At 23 years old I developed my first fibroadenoma in my breast. I ended up developing 5 more over the next 4 years. Although I was told they weren't considered to be harmful they got bigger and would have a dull ache at times so I had them removed. I got one more when I was 28 but it was small and didn't seem to be growing so I left it alone. I'm now 35 and have noticed last week that it had grown larger and that I've developed a new one. I had high hopes that I was beyond this so it's quite defeating. Despite research I've done and doctors I've seen nobody seems to know why some women develop fibroadenomas or how to prevent them. Do you have any insight on whether there might be something out of balance in my system that could be causing them or, if not, what the cause could be? Thank you so much! I just discovered your podcast less than a month ago and am blown away by your knowledge. I can't wait to go back and catch up on all of your previous ones as well. Thank you for doing what you do!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1206 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1205: Smart Device EMFs, Mycobacterium Avium, Ears Blocked, Childhood Trauma, Female Hair Loss, Ovarian Cysts (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Krista: I have two questions regarding EMF exposure : 1. Do you think the EMF exposure from a fitbit (or like device) is worth it if it improves a pre-teen/teen's activity level? Any specific recommendations? 2. How do I know if a sauna is safe regarding its EMF output? I have read a few articles from those who have personally tested various saunas with widely different results. I'd like to follow your advice on taking advantage of the health benefit of infrared saunas, but am confused as to how to make sure the EMF levels are safe. Thanks as always! Chris: Can you point me in the right direction in terms of chronic MAC infection of the lungs? My mother was diagnosed many years ago but things have escalated quite a bit in the past few months. She has a constant dry cough, fatigue, lack of appetite, etc. Her escalated symptoms began a few months after moving to a different house. I suspect something about the new house may be a factor.Thank you, Chris Beth: Hello Dr. Cabral. Love your podcast! I have learned so much from you and I continue to learn daily the more I listen. I'm hoping you can help point me in the right direction with this...but I have been dealing with clogged ears for the last several months. A bit of backstory to assist, back in August of 2018 I decided to take some strong antibiotics (Flagyl to be exact) in order to combat a bacterial overgrowth (please note I am health conscious and so I rarely got sick or had to deal with any health related issues prior to this). During the time I was taking the 10-day antibiotics, I got sick with what seemed to be bronchitis. While sick, I took a flight for a vacation we had planned and my ears refused to pop. It was as if the congestion from the cold or whatever I had was pushed into my ear canals. Ever since, not only have I been sick multiple times (one time resulted in IV fluids, steroids and more antibiotics), but my ears have never recovered. I know that taking the antibiotics was a horrible idea, no matter how desperate, because it destroyed all the good bacteria I had in my gut and left me completely susceptible to everything. I went to the ENT and was told my hearing was perfect and that my ears were clear, yet I still can't pop them. I feel a bit unbalanced and my ears feel full and muffled. And if I eat anything inflammatory, my right side starts hurting. On top of that, I have ongoing "post-nasal" drip feeling in the back of my throat, which again, worsens with inflammatory foods like sugar. Any suggestions you may have to help me heal are greatly appreciated! Thank you for all you do! Tony: Hi Dr. Cabral, Love your DESTRESS protocol and all your work, however, what seems to be missing is a focus on trauma.What are your thoughts on those who's health have plateau'd because of childhood trauma that has conditioned such strong subconscious beliefs, that even the Monday Motivations aren't resonating with these conditioned core beliefs?There are modalities like EMDR, but I'm curious on your take and what you see in your practice, as I put Cabral and his team as the gospel of truth on health, wellness, and spirituality :) Keep up the fantastic content! Annette: Hi Dr. Cabral.Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge in the world. I would like to know some information regarding hair loss. I'm considering ordering some of your tests but don't know which one would be appropriate for me. I'm going to be 45 years old and in the last few years I've lost maybe half of my hair... the loss continues... and every time that is my hair wash day I just get so scared and anxious thinking "how much hair I will lose again today!” I do not take birth control. I'm vegetarian but do not eat eggs. My TSH level is 1.42 and my C-Reactive Protein level is 0.8 and total Protein level is 7.1 I would love to get some guidance and advice as to what I should do and what might cause my hair loss issue. ( Am I premenopausal?) It's to a point that I can not leave my hair loose. Thank you so very much for your help and time.Annette Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral I have a few questions.1. What would you suggest for ovarian cysts and what can cause this? 2. Iv been having upper left abdominal bloating for a few months now usually after eating or if im a little stressd around where the stomach is situated i think i may gastritis or bile reflux. I have candida and bacterial overgrowth high histamine issues and currently doing the CBO. What do you suggest i can do to heal this naturally. I want to avoid a endoscopy if i can? 3. What are your thoughts on slippery elm in healing the gut and even treating gastritis. thanks im currently doing IHP and post regularly on the facebook groups. Many thanks for all you do joanna from australia :)   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1205 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1199: Longevity & Anti-Aging, 18:6 Intermittent Fasting, Acid Blockers & Bloating, Cherry Angiomas, Receding Gums, Poison Ivy Prevention, Shingles (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Tony: my goal is longevity n antiaging.. i practice daily mma jiu jits su and kickboxing.. i am active. i just want great health. tell me what is the protocol for me to have a very healthy all around body in n out. I'm 29yrs old. Molly: Dear doctor Cabral,I’m a health and wellness coach, and listen to your podcast every day. I have to say, I think I learned more from you than I ever did with my other courses, so I want to thank you for that. Now there’s something I’m struggling with personally and haven’t been able to get to the bottom of it. I really hope you can help. I’m a healthy, 40 year old woman, vegan, meditating every day, exercising 6 days a week, doing 18:6 intermittent fasting. I fall asleep easily around 9.30pm, but wake up every night between 3 and 4 pm, am wide awake and just can’t go back to sleep. In the end I doze off an hour or two later, usually just before alarm goes off at 6am. I wake up so tired, and am exhausted and have brain fog throughout the day. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? It would be wonderful if you could give me some tips and ideas what to look for. Thank you so much in advance, much respect, Molly Maci: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently discovered your podcast and have been listening to several episodes each day. The work that you do is inspiring, thank you! I am a 23 year old female and I have a number of issues going on and would like your guidance on where to begin. I'm currently in school pursuing my Master's in Social Work and due to the intense program schedule, I'm not working and unfortunately, cannot afford lab testing at this time. Both sides of my family have a history of heartburn and acid reflux and my dad is being treated for Barrett's Esophagus. When I started college, I began experiencing heart burn and was put on Omeprazole. I'm no longer taking the Omeprazole as my symptoms have since subsided, but I often get this feeling of having liquid in the back of my throat. There are no burning sensations or pain, but nothing seems to help. I also struggle with constipation and bloating, however, I've been following your recommendation of lemon water to start the morning and using your smoothie guide to try following "liquid before lunch," for the past week. In addition, I have struggled with cystic acne and have been on birth control pills for 7 years and also take 100mg of Spironalactone daily. Lastly, I was diagnosed with anxiety in September of 2018 and take Citalopram daily for that as well. In listening to several of your shows on leaky gut, acne, and anxiety, I've realized that many of my issues could be stemming from my gut. I would like to get off all my medication (other than birth control), but need to know where to start in the process of doing so. Overall, I live a healthy lifestyle, exercising 5-6 days per week (both resistance training and some HIIT/Aerobic exercise), I teach one yoga class each week, and I eat a diet full of protein (however, learning that I probably need more fish and Omega-3's from your podcasts), fruits, and vegetables. I'm 5'11" with a thin stature and as you've discussed, it's more difficult for me to put on muscle than it is to lose fat. I'm planning to do your 21 day detox (likely will have completed by the time this appears on the show), but will wait to begin until I return from Mexico at the end of March. Thank you so much for all that you do and I appreciate you taking the time to provide me with recommendations! Susane: Hi! I have some questions around cherry angiomas. I've always had one or two major ones my whole life, they have never changed and haven't caused any concerns or thoughts, until now. The last half a year or so they have been appearing everywhere on my body all of a sudden at an exponential rate. This makes me worried as I dont want them as of aesthetic reasons, but also because I am wondering if something is wrong. I am 27 years old. Hence, do you know what causes them? Root cause? Can it be due to heavy metals? Been reading that bromide can cause them. How do you think I should address the problem? Do you think they will disappear by themselves as I find the root cause? What do you specific recommend me doing going forwards? What would you do. Thanks. Cody: Hi Dr. Cabral, My dentist tells me I have slightly receding gums. What causes this and what can be done to stop or reverse this? Thanks, Patrick: Hey dr Cabral hope all is well with you and your family. Been feeling great since finding your podcast about 8 months ago and doing your DNS everyday . Now that summer is coming up my question is about poison ivy, me and my kids ( triplets ) go bike riding a lot on trails in the woods and are on soccer fields a few days a week it seems like me and my one son get poison ivy even if we look at it and then it’s always the same thing go to the doctor get a Creme that never works go back in a week now covered in it and then get a zpac and it clears right up . What can I do to keep it from spreading all over and treat it naturally. Thank you and keep up the great job your doing. Susan: My 85 year old mother is suffering terribly with shingles. Terribly is putting it lightly and it's been for months now! She has been under a Dr's care but it seems like nothing really can be done. He finally took her off of hydrocodone because she was becoming addicted to it. Both my mother and my mother in law are urging my husband and I to get the "shingles shot", they are so worried about us getting the shingles. We are 55 and I personally have never even gotten a flu shot. What are your thoughts about getting the shingles shot?

1198: Fibroid Tumor, Lymphocytes Elevated, Placenta Capsules, Swollen Glands, Carb Rebalancing, Childhood Seizures (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Maria: Dr Cabral thank you for all you do. Your passion and dedication are really inspirational. I had a big fibroid tumor removed from the uterus via c section and now I am terrified of ever growing another one. What markers should I monitor in blood work/lab work to make sure my levels are ok and not conducive to growing fibroids? Also I’m still struggling with mild acne and my cholesterol and TSH are still elevated on the most recent blood work (total chol 210, LDL 123... TSH 3.38, free T4 1.14, free T3 2.4) I did OAT HTMA and Thyroid adrenal hormone tests with your team and followed all supplement recommendations including CBO protocol and CBO finisher. I’ve listened to all your podcasts and when I did the testing with you guys estrogen to progesterone levels were good. Any help with these areas please? Thank you so much! Erica: Hi Doctor Cabral! I saw & loved your episodes on the Primal Example podcast & Ben Greenfield podcast. I really resonated with a lot of what you said. I'm reaching out because I've been having a host of health issues for the past year that have still been unresolved. I'm 23 years old, and i have dizziness (that feels like i'm walking on a boat / a bobble head) and pretty bad brain fog. Sometimes it goes away, but other times it appears randomly. It does seem to get worse around my period. On top of that, I'll have muscle pulsing, random sensations / feelings as if things are crawling on my body (mostly at night), and headaches that feel like pains on top of my head. Occasionally, I'll have shortness of breath, anxiety, and burp a lot when this happens. All of my symptoms started a lot worse back 10 months ago with bad acid reflux and chest pains, which i mistook for a heart condition (got that ruled out), but I slowly healed my body overtime where I no longer get the acid reflux. I also ruled out MS and lyme disease. To give you some more markers, I became iron deficient / anemic (was at a 6 saturation, now i'm at a 14). I also was told I have h pylori, which i have been trying to heal naturally as antibiotics did not work the first time (I bought your healthy belly product). On top of that, I scored weakly positive for celiac disease (7), but after my endoscopy they were unsure if I actually have celiac or the h pylori was causing the lymphocytes, as none of my villi were damaged. My blood pressure also lowers when standing (87 -> 80), which my doctor said might be an important marker. If you have any advice or a direction I can head in, that would be so extremely helpful. Thank you so much for all that you do! Tayla: Hi :) I don’t think this has been discussed on here before..? Placenta capsules are becoming a big thing here in AUS- where after you give birth to your placenta it is placed in a bowl and given to someone to dehydrate and then they encapsulate it (my understanding) for a fee. Not that I am currently pregnant but I thought because of the “health benefits “ it promotes for the mother after birth I said I wanted to do it and my partner thinks it’s a fad thing and to ask the page ha ha So what does Dr Cabral think about this ?? Thank you :) Krista: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm 33 years old and have had health problems my entire adult life. I was a very active child (and even taught dance through my second pregnancy 10 years ago), but have yet to be able to fully get back on my feet. I have suffered from many ailments over the years (migraines, IBS, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression) but have been able to improve many of them (slowly but surely) through diet and lifestyle changes. I do not take any medications and haven't had any (including antibiotics) in over 10 years. My current challenges are mainly around reoccurring mono (I had it October 2017 and was still recovering from the adrenal fatigue and swollen lymph nodes when I got hit with it again November 2018, due in part to the stress my body went through with the passing of my Father). I'm getting better little by little but it is a VERY slow climb and I want to make sure I'm doing everything I should be to get my body back to 100%. I take a range of good quality supplements (B's, D's, C's, multi, adaptogens, CoQ10, zinc, DIM, NAC) as well as eat a diet free of Gluten and Dairy. I juice celery and greens, eat only organic meats and occasional fish, and eat little to no sugar (occasional maple syrup and agave). I drink lemon-salt water in the morning (to cleanse and for the iodine), Castor Oil Packs, and drink Dandelion tea to help support my liver. I also make sure to take a daily walk most days and just started dry brushing and "jumping'' every day as well. My main symptoms right now are fatigue (still have to take 1-2 naps a day and severely limit my interactions with others) and the swelling of my lymph nodes (goes up and down but always seems to be present one way or another). My question is, what else should I be doing? I plan on eventually taking the OAT and HTMA tests when I can afford it (I suspect I still have some candida issues), but in the meantime should I try the 7-day detox? I'm hesitant only because I don't want to overwhelm my body with detoxification while it is still so weak (also, I took the Clean Gut Probiotic). It felt like PMS times 1000! My tongue also got a slightly white film on it that went away when I stopped the probiotic). Any other tests, therapies, or supplements you'd recommend? I am 5'4", 110 pounds and have to be very careful not to lose weight. Tayla: Hi Dr C, long question ahead but I really appreciate all you do and the extra new speedy delivery system to AUS !! I had an OATs and HTMA test done and got my results from Laura on the 2.11.18 And while there was things I required from equilibrium, my biggest take from the session/test was that I had been to restrictive in my carbs for a long period of time (even though I had weight to lose it was counterproductive) Which I pretty much slowly started adding in more as I went which initially was fine, felt better and no weight gain. About two weeks before Xmas I did a Dr C detox, flew from AUS toNZ for Xmas and had only put on about a kg over the festive time..(also took over Digestive and multivitamin from dr c- had also done a 14 day in July 2018) On the 16th of Jan I started taking my extra tablets cal-mag,zinc, CSE drops, adrenal soothe, clean gut probiotic, iron - as well as the multivitamins.I’ve put on a few more kgs after Xmas - which in listening to dr C podcast he said it can take 12-16 weeks to stabilize out ? So that’s pretty much 6weeks on extra vitamins 15 weeks on slowly increasing carbs and I’ve gained 3kgs bringing me up to 66kgs at 165cm aged 26. When I was at 63 I felt like I had 3 kgs to lose so I feel and am starting to look like I need to lose weight, especially the upper thighs and middle tummy. I have been a little more relaxed with dinner options and mostly only going for walks/runs as and maybe 2 weights sessions a week compared to previously when I was doing more weight sessions a week. But on a usual day I was only really adding 100-120g of sweet potato to my lunch and dinner and if I felt like it I’d have 30g oats on a Tuesday and Thursday morning but not always. Is this enough to really throw my body out and start gaining weight or is this still my body adjusting ? I have re listened to the coming off a low carb diet podcast. But still unsure on what I should do. As for the weight gain , I can step up the exercise but how do I work out what my body needs in terms of how much etc I know you have to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight but usually your carbs get cut .. and that’s how I’ve put myself out of sync/ in the mess I am in now ha ha If you can help I’d really appreciate it because I just don’t know how much carbs I should be adding in and for how long to fix myself and then when taking them away to lose weight is okay ? Tayla :) Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral! A friend's daughter started having seizures at about 2 months of age. The seizures became progressively worse and she was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms. She has had extensive stays at the hospital since this started. They have tried everything doctors have recommended including: 13 different medications, medical marijuana, keto diet, and brain surgery. I think they noticed small improvement with the keto and a few other things they tried. But she still continues to have seizures. She is now almost 3 years old and has about 60 seizures per week. They were told she has a rare genetic deletion called DEPDC5. Have you seen something similar in your practice? Are you familiar with this genetic deletion? To my knowledge they have not explored holistic and functional medicine. What next step would you recommend or lab testing in order of importance?

1194: Should You Skip Breakfast? (TWT)

1192: Ear Grommets & Adenoids, Iodine Skin Test, Low Libido, IBS-C Fix, EDTA Topic, Autism & Glutamtes (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Wansima: Hi Dr Cabral, My 2 year old son has had his adenoids out and ear grommets put in at 15 months. He is now 2 and his grommets have come out and I see the symptoms of the constant runny nose and cough come back. I have heard that food sensitivities can sometimes cause these symptoms and kids are getting these procedures done when it could have possible been avoided. What are your thoughts on this? I have ordered the equilibrium food sensitivity test for him and also had him dairy and gluten free for 6 months! Thanks for bringing your amazing knowledge to us listeners every week. Mel: Hi Dr Cabral! May I get some feedback on Lugol’s Iodine please. My thyroid levels are in the ‘optimal’ range but when I paint a hand size amount of Lugols Iodine on my skin it fades generally within an hour or two. Do I need to keep doing this or not? (Thyroid levels were taken before I started painting the LI) I asked on your FaceBook page but no one was familiar with it and it was suggested I ask here instead.Many thanks Mel Cristian: Hey Dr Cabral. Great show. I put everyone I know onto it. My question is, is there anything from your practice whether it be advice or supplements a man in his early 30's can do to aid his sex life in his marriage? Really fit, active person. I eat healthy foods like you recommend. Do 12 hr fasts and most of what's in Rain Barrel Effect book. Otherwise healthy but struggle to maintain erections for long periods like I used to when I just got married in mid 20's. I don't know if it was the years of porn which I gave up a year ago, a physiological or psychological issue but if you can recommend anything, even in short-term I'd be most appreciative. Thanks. Hanna: I struggle with IBS-C and it is incredibly uncomfortable, can you give any advice on how to help this? Thank you for all that you do! Larissa: Hi Dr. Cabral! I LOVE listening to your podcasts. I've been listening everyday for a couple years now. You are an incredible human. I'd love to hear a Friday Review of the benefits of EDTA... and any other specific herbs/supplements used as a part of the heavy metal detox. Thank you! Krista: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have two pre-teen/teen sons with multiple tics (technically they would be diagnosed as having Tourettes Syndrome). They have some other issues as well including some digestion stuff (including food sensitivities), anxiety, OCD, and occasional eczema. Several years ago we stumbled on a woman, by the name of Dr. Reid, and her TED talk which basically explains her discovery of the effect of free-glutamates on the brain. By altering her daughters diet to eliminate nearly all glutamates (including those from supplements, citric acid, protein shakes and other sources), and including a good amount of veggies and cleansing herbs, her daughters Autistic 'symptoms' completely disappeared! As soon as she was exposed to glutamates again, like when eating out, her symptoms returned. We have since joined a fb support group and have met several other families with the same results - not only for those dealing with autistic symptoms, but other neurological issues as well including what my boys have. We have followed this diet (about 90%) for the last several years and have had both of our sons symptoms decrease DRAMATICALLY (one of them no longer has tics at all). That said, we still see a need for improvement which is why I am currently having them take your OAT and HTMA tests. Here are my questions : Are you familiar with Dr. Reid and the success' she is finding with this protocol? And also, if my kids are responding positively to a decrease in glutamates, should I be concerned with ADDING sources of glutamates (such as protein shakes, supplements, and most notable L-glutamine) in an effort to heal their gut? My concern here is that in my effort to help them, I will be adding to their glutamate load and they will regress from the progress we have made so far. I appreciate your work and especially your desire to continue to learn (a sentiment I too share). If you haven't yet seen it, I will link up the 10-minute TED talk I first stumbled on for your own edification. Would love to hear more of your thoughts on this in a future podcast once you've had the time to review it! unblindmymind.org  Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1192 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1191: No Bloat Diet, Excess Hair Growth, Earthing, Ulcer Fix, Menopausal Muscle, Sahara Dust (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Kaitlin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m a lost 22 year old college student. I have had lots of issues for about 5 years now. It started with pain in my upper abdomen, bloating, and constipation after I ate. Lasted on and off for 4 years, then suddenly the pain went away and bloating and constipation remained with no change in diet or supplementation. I was diagnosed with IBS about a year ago and have been trying to follow the Low FODMAP diet however I am still experiencing low energy, tiredness, brain fog, and am unable to lose weight even though I eat very well (in school for nutrition) and workout frequently. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge! Anastasia: Hello Dr Cabral :) I have a question about a sensitive topic and something I’m pretty ashamed about. I’m a 24 year old female with excess hair growth on my nipples, the chest area between my breasts, my stomach and some annoying hairs on my neck. Naturally I’m incredibly embarrassed and don’t feel very feminine. This also really takes it’s on toll on me mentally. I’ve had some pretty dark days. I’ve had it for as long as I can remember from puberty. My mother, sister and other female members in my family also have it. Years ago when I was 15ish I had the ultrasound to see if I had PCOS and it came back with nothing because I didn’t have any cysts on my ovaries, but obviously I am pretty clued up now and realise that you don’t have to have cysts on the ovaries to have PCOS. I’m planning on doing the adrenal hormone test soon to check everything that could be going on, but I guess what I would like to know is there anyway to help reduce the hair growth through diet etc? Like is it actually possible or will I be stuck with it forever? :( I get laser/IPL treatment on the areas which I’m sure isn’t great for me, but I have some serious confidence and body image issues from it so I have to do something to make myself feel better. Thank you so much for all that you do for this community. I can’t tell you how much I have learnt since discovering you! You are an incredible human being. James: Hi. I just watched 1 of your podcasts, it was about 2 &1/2 hours long, very interesting. You mentioned many things, but when you mentioned the sympathetic and parasympathetic mode and 1 of the guys in podcast asked you best ways to get into parasympatic mode you did not mention something that I have been doing now for about a year. Have you tried or ever heard of earthing? It is amazing, and amazingly simply, its simply that we rarely have skin contact with the negative ions of the earth. Just being grounded, changes our bodys mode from sympathetic mode to parasympathetic, it lowers your heart rate, it thins the blood, there are over 21 studies about this. They had a study where at penn state hospital they even grounded Premature babies in incubaters and found what great health effects it had on them including improved vagal tone. Dawn: I have what seems to be something like an ulcer that won’t heal. It is always in the same spot and when I’m eating very healthy it don’t feel it as much, but coffee, processed foods ect make it burn. It isn’t an excruciating pain but just a minor burning sensation all the time. What worries me the most is it’s been a year now without it healing. I’m also not sure if it is in fact an ulcer. I went to regular doctors and they gave my antacids and they didn’t work at all, I was tested by breath and stool for hpylori and both negetive. I had an ultrasound of my abdomen and nothing showed up. I went to a naturopath and they kind of brushed me off just saying it probably inflammation. I am 35, healthy, eat well besides some occasional flex meals. Do you know what it could be and other possibilities? and what would be the best tests to find out? Thank you so much! Mary: Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your very interesting and informative podcasts. I am very interested in learning how the change in hormones after menopause affects the ability to build muscle. I know we start losing muscle at a certain age, but is there a way to train specifically to combat any hormone changes that may limit how much muscle we are able to build. Is it just about nutrition and strength training consistency, or is there more we as women can do to combat the negative affects of aging on muscle growth? I have been somewhat successful at the age of 55,(I have been trying for 40c 30f 30p macros) but I would really like to learn what is going on within the female body at a later age that may limit us and ways to possibly combat it.Thank you! Darrell: Hey Dr Cabral. I'm not personally affected by the Sahara Dust but my friends and some family members are. It exacerbates sinus issues, nasal allergies, asthma etc. Are there any recommendations you have to deal with this? We're in the Caribbean region and this is a regular issue. Any help you can provide will be appreciated.

1185: Irregular Cycle, Guayusa Tea, Orthorexic Tendencies, Extra Weight & Bloating, Cystic Breast, Childhood Warts, Dientamoeba Fragilis, Constipation Lab Test (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Rita: Hi! I have been listening to Cabral Concept podcast for 8 months and I’m interested in buying a test but I’m not sure which one will be better for me right now?! I’m 43 years old, with regular mestrual cycle, 5’7 205 pounds, have been out of birth control for 2 years and haven’t get pregnant yet! I have been trying to eat as clean as I can for a month but since December I noticed that My hair is falling more than the normal amount. I’m debating between hair tissue mineral analysis and the hormone and adrenal test ?! What do you suggest?! I had my blood work done in December and my doctor told me to relax that it’s all stress related. I also have low libido and trouble sleeping. I just started taking ashwagandha, maca in my morning green juice, adrenal support, chaste tree and magnesium which some drops of fast acting melatonin one hour before bed. I love sardines but some times I add some EPA/DHA. I have been taking vitamin C,D,B, Zinc, digestive enzymes (I had my gallbladder removed in 2005) ! Please let me know what you think? I will receive a 30 minutes call right? Could I pay extra for a longer call?! I clearly need help to achieve my goal to get healthier and have a baby! Thank you so much! Rita Tracy: Hi Dr Cabral. I asked a question in the FB support group about alternative sweeteners and was pointed towards episode 284, in which you speak about artificial sweeteners and the benefits of stevia. However I was wondering what your verdict was on alternative sweeteners such as coconut sugar, agave syrup, lucuma, rice syrup, date syrup etc.? Would they be OK to include in the daily diet (as long as not in excess) or are they more of a cheat-meal ingredient? I am relatively new to the healthy way of eating that you advocate and would love to be able to have some of the organic snack bars that are sold here in the UK, however most of them contain one of the above sweeteners. On a separate note, have you ever spoken about the Guayusa tea? I have heard amazing things and would love to try it out, however am a bit hesitant as I don‘t handle coffee very well (as well as sometimes black or green tea). Many thanks in advance Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. I am a 25 year old female who has struggled with binge eating disorder and orthorexic tendencies in my late teens and early twenties. I overcame the binge eating by surrendering control and allowing myself to eat whatever I wanted and as much as I wanted, which although it initially made me gain weight, allowed me to develop a loving and healthy body image without the need to binge and I was then able to gradually progress to a more healthy way of eating and exercise routine that I thoroughly enjoy. Being super interested in health and longevity however (in fact I am planning to train as a health coach in the near future - ideally the IHP) I have now been looking to adapt many of the habits that you talk about on your podcast. I recently completed the 7 day detox and have since carried on with a healthy diet (smoothie breakfast, vegan lunch, paleo dinner - all free of refined sugar, gluten, dairy, soy etc.) However I am starting to notice that I am slipping into old obsessive thinking patterns and my mind revolves around food all day. With avoiding processed foods, not snacking between meals, fasting for 12 hours from dinner to breakfast, not drinking liquids with meals, eating fruit away from meals, eating organic, only having 2 cheat meals a week, pre-planning all meals, reducing alcohol to a minimum etc etc. I am really struggling to have a "natural and intuitive relationship" with food and have even found myself slipping into slight binge-ing habits when tired or on a cheat day (which was not something I have had to deal with for a long time before this). I am in a dilemma as I am very motivated to carry on with my health journey and have already seen physical benefits to this way of eating, but at the same time don't want to jeopardize my mental wellbeing. I struggle in particular with limiting myself to certain times at which to eat rather than following my appetite and desire. I want to benefit from the autophagy and improved digestion, but am literally stressing out about when to eat all day. I appreciate that I am essentially going to have to find my own balance, but I was wondering whether you had maybe come across similar problems with some of your concierge clients and were able to pass on some advice for what has helped people with a history of obsessive behaviour around food and diet like myself. Many thanks in advance Jennett: Hi Dr Cabral I’m 42 and have been struggling to lose weight. I go to the gym four days a week doing spin class three days and weights 1 day, but I can’t seem to loose any weight. I’m a pitta Kapha body type. I also bloat when I eat gluten or any grains but lately it seems I get bloated after every meal. Do you have any advise as to how I stop the bloat and lose the weight? Thanks, Jenett Jen: Hi Dr Cabral I recently noticed a lump in my right breast and then a few days later, I started my mensis, which was strange because I just had it three weeks prior. I am going in for a sonogram to see if it’s a cyst or cancer. Around the same time, I noticed a little red mark on the side of my nose. When I went in for the breast exam, the doc looked at it and called it something I cannot remember but said it was precancerous. Could the two be related? Does precancerous mean it will turn into cancer? What do you know about photodynamic treatments? Are there any natural ways to heal both of these issues? Essential oils or other methodologies? Thanks so much Jen Monica: Hi Dr Cabral, Just a quick question regarding warts on children, my Sister's kids are covered in them especially the youngest who is only 2. Is there anything you recommend to stop the virus spreading or is it deeper than that? Thank you Candice: Hello, I’ve been diagnosed with a parasite Dientamoeba Fragilis, which is causing a host of gut symptoms and discomfort. I have already tried herbs and antibiotics. I’m wondering if there is great success with Stephen’s parasite cleanse for this particular parasite? I want to make sure whatever I do next is what’s going to work. Please any information would be very helpful before I make a decision on what to do. Thank you! Ashton: Hi Dr. Cabral, I found your podcast after listening to your interview with The Skinny Confidential. I am currently in the process of going off birth control, as I have been on it for 10 years due to irregular periods. I have always had a pretty healthy diet, but now I am eating mostly plant based, but will add fish once or twice a week. I eliminated gluten, dairy, alcohol and processed foods and am making sure I eat more crusiferous vegetables to support my liver. During this time however, I have also been dealing with chronic constipation. It’s seems like no matter many leafy greens I add to my diet, I am still having trouble. I’ve suffered from constipation pretty much all my life, but it seems to be getting worse now that my diet is better. What supplements or protocols do suggest to help me with this issue?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1185 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1184: Weight Loss Struggle, Vaginal Thrush, Addiction Imbalances, Braces & Amalgams, Colostrum Powder, Nootropics, Lab Consults, Clenbuterol Side Effects (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Rebecca: Hello! I did the 7-Day Detox and loved it! I've been struggling with Hoshimitos plus PCOS for likely 15 years and have never found anything that works for my body as far as the weight goes (or really anything else). With the detox I could see a change in my body and even though the weight on the scale didnt go down, my percentage of body fat did reduce. I plan to do the detox again soon and I also take the Daily Thyroid Support. I have been listening to the podcasts since the detox and now believe that my body is even more messed up than I once thought based on my thyroid, PCOS, stress, etc, but I also see that maybe I can finally figure out why and what to do. The more I learn from Dr. Cabral, the more I want to learn and the more I feel like I can take better control of my body. My doctors don't help other than to give me synthroid, so I will be doing a test in order to get an evaluation from you. I suffer from a ridiculous struggle to lose weight/not gain again (I'm 5'6'' and currently weigh 150lbs, but started my struggle with thyroid and PCSO at 140lbs before I gained 40+lbs within 2 months), thin hair, hair in the wrong places, brain fog, exhaustion, poor blood flow, and a constantly flow of other random issues that come and go without explanation. The brain fog and exhaustion also come and go. I exercise regularly and eat a very low carb, mostly vegetable, and typically under 1000 cal per day diet. I also now drink your detox shake every morning. Do you recommend the Thyroid and Adrenal test for me? Further, my sister has a couple issues that I'm hoping can be helped with some of your products. 1. She has had a pretty continuous yeast infection for years. The doctors have given her medicine when she isn't pregnant, however the infection is always coming back. She has been pregnant 5 times in the last 4 years (2 lost babies), so there seems to be difficulty with treating her based on the only medicine that has worked being one that cannot be taken during a pregnancy. Can there be some imbalance or toxin in her system that there might be a more natural way to work with to actually prevent the yeast rather than just treat? 2. She is currently 8 weeks pregnant and ended up in the hospital yesterday with a subchorionic hemorage. Are there any supplements available that can help her support the pregnancy? I look forward to your response so I can get us both moving forward in our health and hopefully the health of her baby. Many thanks, Rebecca Sara: I have had vaginal thrush for the past 4-5 months, every week before my period. Each time getting worse, i had gone to the doctors and got it tested and of course came back as vaginal candidiasis. Then a few weeks later, i got a uti, which then i was prescribed antibiotics, it was a 7 day course of tablets, i took 3 of them and got really bad thrush again, so wasnt able to take the whole course. I have had this thrush now for about 7 days and it has gotten better with canastan cream but i feel isnt fully healed. I think i may have a yeast overgrowth in my body, i have read up on this and they say to cut out sugar, the thing is that i dont eat that much sugar. I am stuck for what to do? Hope you can help! thank you! Ari: I've read that addiction is a disease like any other. Can rebalancing your body help snap the brains addiction both with drug and non drug addictions? Cynthia: Hello, My name is Cynthia, I am currently going through the IHP certification course. I am planning to have braces on my teeth, but while learning through the modules I am now confused on whether that is something I should do or not. Is it safe? I am 22 years old. I also have silver amalgams, I have 6 of them. I would appreciate your opinion on what would be the best thing to do. Or should I get that done through a holistic dentist? I have already gone to the orthodontist twice, there are still two more for me to attend, but I have been putting them off because I am unsure. Also because in my initial visit they told me my teeth were overcrowded and that they would probably have to remove two teeth from top and bottom and well I kind of don't want those teeth removed. Seems like a lot. I think that could cause health problems. I am no expert, but I've done some research and that's what I've found. I did have to get my wisdom teeth out, four in total and I wouldn't like to remove any more, not sure if that is something safe.Thank you for your time. Karen: Would LOVE to hear your thoughts on taking a high quality colostrum powder for treating leaky gut? And if you do recommend it, what dosage and delivery (I've heard that putting 1 tablespoon inside your mouth, allowing it to turn into a ball of paste, then allowing that to slowly dissolve in your mouth so it is absorbed sublingually and through the gums, in addition to swallowing it is a better method than dissolving in water and drinking)? Your thoughts/insight? Thanks SO much! Susanne: Hi! I am a student and curious about nootropics and smart drugs. What do you think of them and what do you know about their influence on health? Would it be bad for my stomach/health? I am currently doing your CBO protocol. Would you recommend taking it and could it potentially be used once or twice on the CBO protocol or parasite protocol? Do you have any other recommendations for mental performance and full concentration over specific periods of time? Thanks, best regards Kathryn: I've had an Organic Acid test and Stool test done with my natural path and gotten the results back. the stool test was done about 8 months ago, and the organic acids test just about 6 weeks ago. Is it possible set up a 60 min consult to go over my results for a second opinion from the natural path I've been going to for the past 2 years? this is my second OAT, the first one over 2 years ago showed Candida and the supplements she has given me has not been able to alleviate my symptoms or change much of the results from the test. I'd like a consult to go over the test without having to purchase the test and take it again. Thank You, Kathryn Darrell: Hey Dr. Cabral. Good show. I am in fitness industry and I am seeing a disturbing trend of many men and women young and somewhat older using clenbuterol (clen) to gain muscle mass and lose weight. I know it is a veterinary asthma drug for horses and use to bulk livestock but I can't quite exain to them why using it is dangerous. They results are too tempting for them. Can you say why it should be avoided at all cost? Also thanks for this podcast. Is there any means to show appreciation or boost it beside given great iTunes reviews? Some people like myself may not be Apple users so we can't access the iTunes review feature (I download your show via Twitter for eg) and would still like to show some appreciation.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1184 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1181: 8 Symptoms of Low Fiber Intake (WW)

Somehow over the past couple of years we’ve gone from realizing how important whole food fiber is for our health to demonizing it...

1178: Anxiety Effects, Food Reactions, Stomach Cramping, Daily Detox, Crohn's Disease, Lost Period, Severe Pain Flares, Pregnancy Detox (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Brennan: Hi Dr. Cabral and team- I am a new follower of Dr. Cabral and stumbled upon his podcast when searching for podcasts on juicing celery. I love how real and level headed Dr. Cabral is and that he looks at both sides of the story. With that being said, I have a question. To give you a bit of background I am a 34 year old female. I am 5'1" and weigh 105 lbs. I consider myself pretty active engaging in crossfit and yoga 5-6 days a week. I am a former devision 1 athlete and have been active my whole life. I feel I eat fairly well... although am learning daily from Dr. Cabral's podcast on improvements I can make. I have 2 bachelors degrees... one in health promotions and one in nursing. About 9 months ago I started to feel tingling and a little numb in my extremities... my arms, legs and right side of face. I was went to multiple drs... was prescribed steroids (which I will never take again... I feel like they are poison) and about a week or so after the 5 day steroid taper I began to feel extremely anxious. This anxiety has been present on and off since it started. I have had MRIs of my brain and all of my spine (lumbar, thoracic, cervical), saw a neurologist, did a full blood panel and all tests and Drs... have cleared me for anything significant. Fast forward to middle of December when i started to feel "lightheaded", this is the best way I know how to describe it, It is not like the "light headed that you would get if you were laying down and then got up fast. It is more of a constant fog, lightheaded, unfocused feeling at the front of my head and eyes. Once this began I went to an integrative Nurse practitioner who ran a few more additional tests, cortisol levels, thyroid, Vitamin D3, and adrenals... She called back saying the results were all normal and that the symptoms I am having must be from anxiety. Due to the unfocused feeling I have with my eyes I went to an eye dr... who tested multiple things and in the end said I have "better than great eyesight". I have had the "light headed" feeling for going on 2 months now. To say I am confused is an understatement. I think all of the not knowing is making me anxious for sure. I will wake up at least 1 time a week with a little "anxiety attack". Ive never considered myself to be an anxious person... I do worry about things... but for the most part have always been pretty "chill". I am trying my very best to naturally take care of the anxiety. I am meditating, doing more yoga, doing my best to eat healthy, focusing on my buried emotions and feelings, acupuncture.... etc. Now to my question haha.... Does this sound like it could be anxiety? OR does it sound like it could be something else.... Ive had a million thoughts.... Maybe hormonal?? I would love any suggestions you have for me. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Brennan Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been experiencing what I think my be a reaction to food. I turn red and feel swollen in the face about a half hour after I eat some foods, as well as digestive discomfort, smelly gas(which I read can be linked to food intolerance) and bloating. I am not sure what the food is but seems too be around when I have crackers, tortilla chips, or trail mix. I have taken the skin prick test for allergies but have not reacted to any foods. My body does not respond well digestively when I have dairy (the past couple of years, before that I would have yogurt and milk multiple times a day) so I avoid that but do not have any other food rules. I was thinking gluten or wheat may be a factor but I tested negative for celiac and did not have a reactive to the skin prick. I also was wondering if oils could cause this or be a reaction to a type of oils like canola. I looked into your food sensitivity lab and am interested in it, but did not know if what I am experiencing is IGG (which is the lab kit) or IGE. If I ordered the lab would it show if I have an IGE to food? I would love to hear what you think may be going on. I have been experiencing these symptoms for a while and am tired of feeling this way. I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you, Sarah Emma: Hi Stephen, Thank you for all of your podcasts and for helping so many people. Your story is inspirational and natural health is something I care about immensely and hope to be involved with myself one day maybe on a professional level. I’m writing for my partner mainly who has been suffering with stomach cramps, bloating, gas and loose/irregular bowel movements for years now, he has eliminated bread from his diet but not because of the wheat as he can have pasta with no cramps but we believe it is to do with the yeast. The cramps also happen sporadically even if he hasn’t had yeast, as far as we’re aware. He is a well built man who eats generally healthily but is prone to binging on junk occasionally and he also eats very quickly and very large quantities. He works out daily and has a stressful office job. We have two small children and life can be quite stressful sometimes! We are quite health conscious and drink fresh fruit/veg juices daily and are always looking to improve further. He also drinks protein drinks daily using 100% whey powder. I really wanted to know your thoughts on him and what tests you’d recommend? For me I’d also be really interested in optimising my health and testing for my vitamin levels as this interests me so much! I am just finishing breast feeding my daughter after 1year and now want to get as healthy as I can. I’ve suffered from several stomach bugs lately and have always suffered with migraines with aura which I would love to eliminate if possible. Are there tests you would recommend for me and my partner? We live in the UK so I don’t think all of your tests are available to us, but I’ve listened to lots of your podcasts and would trust you with helping us more than anyone I’ve found in the UK so far. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Many thanks Emma Dre: Thank you so much for all you do! I have learned so much from you on my journey to health. I am hoping you could dedicate a few minutes to provide daily, monthly, and/or yearly habits to support the liver. I have heard things like sleeping on your left side, and drinking milk thistle tea are good for the liver, but I really want to do all I can for my liver because it is working overtime in this modern life. Jim: Dr Cabral, I am 45 years and have been dealing with crohns disease for the past 4 years. I currently treat it through diet and exercise only but feel that I am starting to lose the battle. if this is something you have experience with I would be interested in meeting with you for a consultation. Thank you in advance for your help, Jim Daniella: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was hoping you could help me: About three years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS and so when I got to college I decided to change my eating habits and become a regular at the gym. This for me meant cardio at the time and slowly I was introduced to weight training. As a result of this change which was characterized by a low carb diet and tons of extraneous activity I lost around 30 pounds. Now I am 21 years old and I have low progesterone and low estrogen which has cumulated in me losing my period. I know that I am underweight because I have a very low body fat percentage (about 13%) but I've been trying to up my carbohydrates consistently and have still struggled. I follow a paleoish diet and am the type of person who NEEDS to go to the gym to de-stress. I've listened to your podcasts and you are clearly a wealth of knowledge and have given so many tips but I don't have access to a smoothie machine on campus and because of my schedule I have to workout fasted in the morning right after my first class and then I have my first meal. I always have 3 big meals a day the biggest being dinner (which I know is not the best). I want to get my period back and my health on track so I recently invested in a coach but I'm struggling to hit the macros. What do you suggest? (PS if it was not clear I am a college student and so dining options are somewhat limited in quality.) Thank you so much for what you do and for even taking the time to read this, All the best, Daniela Sauchanee: I have been suffering from stomach problems and fatigue problems for many years. I've had my gallbladder out a couple of years ago, which made matters worse. I have hypothyroidism, EBV, in the past I've had severe pain flares in my knees and in my shoulders and collar bone. I was wondering if you deal with these problems. Kelly: Hello,I read in the FAQs the detox isn’t recommended while pregnant. I’m concerned I have some toxicity and I have a rash that’s been persistent for some time. Is there any supplements you’d recommend that are safe while I am pregnant to gently detox?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1178 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1177: 4AM Wake Up, Allergies, Calcium from Milk, Recurring Candida, Misinterpreted Results, Fruit Timing, Carb Cycling (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Bree: Hi Dr. Cabral! First of all, thank you for this podcast. I truly see it as an encyclopedia of natural medicine. I’ve found so much great information by searching the archives, but have a question that I couldn’t find an answer to: I wake up around 4am every night, and find it very difficult to go back to sleep. It’s very frustrating, and I don’t feel rested in the morning. Do you know what might be the reason this is happening? I go to bed around 9.30/10pm every night, have no trouble falling asleep, I follow a healthy (vegan) diet, don’t smoke and drink, and work out in the morning 5 times a week. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you! Ashley: Hello! I have found my way to this website in hopes of finding relief primarily from allergies. I’m not sure if this is the right place for that. My issues are severe enough that I see an Allergist but am still in a lot of pain that is keeping me from work and day to day activities. Please let me know if I am reaching out to the right place. Thank you, Ashley Ales: Hello Dr.Cabral,I have a question regarding calcium. You’ve been talking about high calcium content of almond milk. Isn’t majority of it calcium carbonate added to almond milk, not naturally occurring calcium from almonds? Isn’t calcium carbonate unnatural form of calcium that you have been discouraging people from? John: Hi Stephen, this is John. I live in the seaport in Boston Ma, and have been struggling with candida overgrowth. I’ve tired over and over to heal the issues but it always gets better then goes back to it’s orginal symptoms. What would be helpful is if you could put together a protocol for me to follow that would do the trick. I’ve listened to podcast 515 and some others, but it doesn’t explain the exact protocol with supplements . I have purchased some anti-fungals (oregano oil etc) and the HCL w/pepsin, probiotics, florafilm etc. It would be greatly appreciated if you could help! Mateo: Greetings, im writing you because i've been suffering from a lot of symptons all over my body, and recently i get my Organic Acids Test with positive for candidiasis. The thing is that my doctor didn't explained very well the exam, and i want to have more clearness on this subject. Im writing from Colombia, so i wanted to know if there is any possibility to do an online appointment with you, and how much would it cost. Thanks for the attention Mateo Tracy: Hi! I had asked a question about fruit in the support group but would love to hear an even more in depth answer from you here. After having listened to many of your podcasts I am still a bit unsure about when best to include fruit into my daily diet. Obviously it is perfect in the morning smoothie, however not all types of fruit go well with a smoothie I find. I know that I should eat fruit away from meals, but at the same time I do not want to snack in between my 3 meals a day. At first I thought fruit would be a good afternoon snack, however I recently heard an episode where you said you have a juice or smoothie if you snack in the afternoon as it is better to have liquid between meals to make it easier in digestion. I find that I am eating less fruit in order to adhere to all of the above rules, but would like to change this. Would it be best to eat some fruit approx 1 hour before lunch or dinner, or would you have other recommendations? Many thanks! Audrey: Hello Dr. Cabral. I am a 30 yr. old woman who works out every day early in the morning. Is fasted cardio important to keep the fat off? and does carb cycling work for burning fat? if so, how often should it be done and how many grams of carbs should I be taking on the high carb days? Thanks!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1177 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1172: How to Give Yourself a “Slight Edge” in All Areas of Life (MM)

I’ve always been a big fan of the saying, “80% of life is just showing up...” I take that phrase to mean that the reason most people don’t “win” or achieve their goals is simply that they don’t even bother playing the game in the first place... One of the reasons is because sometimes your goals can seem so far out of sight they don’t even seem possible… Everyone has their own excuse for why they haven’t achieved what they want in life, but I think you’d be surprised at how much of this is just a story we’ve made up in our head...

1171: Ultrasounds & Natural Child Birth, Epilepsy & The Gut, Fatigue & Bloating, PachaKarma vs FM Detox, Migraine Mystery (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Luke: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thanks in advance for answering my questions. I found you on Ben Pakulski’s podcast and have been hooked on the knowledge that you have to offer ever since. As a result my wife and I have found ourselves adopting a much healthier and more natural lifestyle. We completed the 21 Day Detox and are taking the Daily Protocol (level one), eating all organic and my wife is taking the Prenatal Package. Hopefully by the time you read this she will be pregnant and my questions are related to our pregnancy. Question 1. I have read that ultrasounds can be harmful to the baby and these should be limited or even avoided. My question is are they necessary and if not what else can we do to substitute ultrasounds so we know that our baby is developing safely? Question 2. We are interested in having the most natural birth possible. What are your thoughts on home births and what do we need to have in place to make sure that we have a safe and healthy pregnancy? We live in Australia and are told that home births are dangerous and we are struggling to find support from our friends and family with this idea. If a home birth is not an option that you would take then what else could we do? I have seen many friends who have had hospital births and these seem so far from natural that it’s concerning and they have all had complications. Thanks again for all that you do and thank you for taking the time to respond. Cheers. Kelly: Good morning ! I was listening to a podcast with Lucas Rockwood where you were the guest speaker. You mentioned a correlation between gut microbim and epilepsy. I know this isn’t this place to explain my back story but I am interested in diving into this further And wonder if this is something that you work on with people. I’d be more than happy to book some time with you. Much like your backstory and taking your health into your own hands, I am proactive and want to do the same. Navigating through th BS is the hardest part and really just looking for a starting point. Let me know your thought. :) Have a good one! Kelly Stephanie: Hello, I'm writing to you to see if you can help me. Previous history.. I deal with depression and anxiety. I haven't been able to find a medication that works for me yet. It has been a process. The biggest thing I am dealing with is chronic fatigue and chronic inflammation if that is a thing? (diagnosed). I have had numerous blood test ran testing thyroid, B12 etc. The tests all come back normal. I have always thought the way I have been feeling is due to depression. But in my gut i know that isn't what it is. I wake up in the morning and my stomach is flat and the moment i drink water my stomach gets very descended. The fatigue I feel and gut issues i am having have to be related (but I'm no doctor) I am very into health and fitness. I workout regularly and I track my macros so I know what i am eating. I live a healthy lifestyle. I am from Canada and the doctors I have been dealing with haven't helped me all. I am hoping you can offer me some insight as I feel very very stuck. I hope you can help me! Jenna: Hi! I am very interested in taking your integrative health practitioner corse. I saw that you are not accepting students at this time. Will you be opening more spots in the near future?? Thank you! Alana: Hi Stephen I am an Ayurvedic practitioner and have been following an Ayurvedic vegan diet for the past 3 years and have done intestive panchakarmas in India with very recognised and profound vaidyas, I do know the importance of good panchakarma centres as I have worked in ones that are dangerous! These have been very beneficial for my mind but physically my symptoms are still here. I wonder how a functional medicine detox differs from a panchakarma, I understand in Ayurveda panchakarmas rid toxins and my teachers in Ayurveda say they can reverse imbalances through all treatments . I wonder if they heal Candida? I have had digestive issues my whole life, bloating, constipation and what feels like a stone stuck under my belly button and on my small intestine. My Ayurvedic doctor tells me it'll go away its excess vata and chronic constipation, but even when I have passed a good bowel movement its there. I also have hypothalamic amenorrhea and always have a bloodshot right eye, intuitively I feel its from fatigue. I have ordered the 21 day detox, intestinal cleanse and CBO protocol and plan to do them, yet wonder if the CBO protocol will still be beneficial without doing the lab test based on my symptoms. I just feel like there is something inside or stuck on my intestines and don't really remember what it feels like to have a flat stomach or energy. It feels as if my fatigue is even more predominant now and it is a struggle. my mind wants to do so much but I just feel weak. I am also very thin and struggle to feel satiated. My Ayurvedic diet has helped tremendously with digestive ease but I have not reached a vibrant, energetic state yet and almost daily feel constipated and bloating. I wonder what you recommend. and also for the future how does a functional medicine detox different from panchakarmas, does it have the ability to remove as much toxins that are stored in the tissues as the process as a panchakarma does? Thank you for your work, you are so inspiring and I love that you have been through such a journey yourself it makes me want to listen to your advice so much more as I can feel your genuine compassion and care listening to you Mary: Hello Dr Cabral and thank you for this opportunity to ask a question! My 28 yo daughter started suffering intermittent migraines at age 16 and they have progressed now to severe chronic daily painful migraines. She has trie gluten/dairy/sugar/salicylate/amine/coffee free diets on multiple occasions with no reduction in the number of migraines. She has a good diet and is reducing her histamine foods (not perfect) and is considering Keto as some studies suggest relief of neurological symptoms, but is feeling unsure about hormonal side effects. She has tried several pharmaceutical drugs and botox with no relief and too many side effects. Temporary relief has occurred when receiving myotherapy, psychology and mindfulness but not consistently and not ongoing. 2 days a week she can take a Triptan drug that alleviates pain for about 8-10 hours but leaves her exhausted afterwards. She can have trouble sleeping and has digestive problems for 2 years including bloating, which could be exacerbated by this medication and needs to eat every 2 hours or so, though remains lean in stature (BMI = 16). She has had bloodwork done through a functional medical doctor with no outstanding results other than imbalanced ratio of oestrogen and progesterone and low in iodine which was corrected. She has lost her ability to function in everyday life due to chronic pain. This is a tragedy as she is young and a truly wonderful person and such an asset to our world. I would love to know where you think she should start again with testing, diets and how to work out what is filling her rain barrel and can she still take a Triptan if necessary so she can still have 2 pain free days per week until something improves?

1170: Athlete Nutritional Needs, SAD Diet, Loose Sagging Skin, Rhino Horns, Donate Blood, Menstrual Cups, Styrofoam& Plastic Straw Substitute (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jenna: Dear Dr. Cabral, First of all thanks for everything you do, you’re really an inspiration and have helped more people than you know with their health journeys. I wanted to ask a question reguarding the dietary recommendations for professional athletes. I am currently dancing ballet professionally and when I asked in the group on dietary guidelines for athletes, I was directed to just increase my portion sizes. And that’s good information, but how much food does that mean? I’m also in a profession where my body needs to be as lean as possible but also energized enough to perform. Our dietitian tells us to ramp up the carbs, but I’m a little afraid of taking it up too much to the point where I gain weight (I have a good amount of pitta in me and am prone to gain weight in muscle mass). I know I need to work on my mindset around food, but long hours at the studio with a limited amount of time to actually eat a lunch have me confused about what to eat throughout the day to intake the proper amount of nutrients while also not feeling too bloated and full and maintaining a healthy but also lean, lower weight for my body. Any information you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jenna Lydia: Hi Dr. Cabral! My dad eats the Standard American Diet and was a smoker for 35 or so years. He had a heart attack in 2006 and now takes statin drugs and aspirin. He is also a type two diabetic and takes medication to control his blood sugar, but not insulin. When he wakes up in the morning his blood sugar ranges anywhere from 115 to 170. He quit smoking at the start of last year after he was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. He underwent surgery to remove the spot on his lung, then had 12 weeks of chemotherapy– ever since he has dealt with severe neuropathy. His chronic pain has hindered his daily life and forced him to retire early. I encourage him to adopt a more plant-based diet and there is resistance to it. I have him taking the multi from equilibrium which turns his urine yellow/orange. Is this a concern? I have suggested Natural Calm as well, his pain makes sleeping difficult. He started using CBD and it seems to be helping to a very small degree. I would love to help him get his life back and would really appreciate a push from you in the right direction. Thank you for all you do! Jennifer: Dear Dr Cabral Thank you for all that you do to teach and lead us down this healthy path! I hope you can help with a question I have. While on my new healthy path I have lost over 100 pounds! While I am thrilled with these results and i am the healthiest i have ever been in my life, it has left me with some loose and sagging skin that can sometimes be uncomfortable and cause some problems. Conventional medicines solution is surgery. I wonder if there might be an alternative way to minimize the loose skin. I exercise regularly, dry brush, detox quarterly and I am on the daily protocol. Is there anything more I can do? Thank you so much for answering my question! Anonymous: Hello! A random but important question that has been on my mind a lot. I am a big activist for African wildlife, especially rhino. They are getting killed by the hour for their horns which are believed to be extremely healing in Asian cultures. Would consuming this type of wildlife fall under "Chinese Medicine" or another type ? I love eastern medicine but struggle because I know they are wiping out so many wildlife species across the globe. Would love to know your thoughts and whether you came across it at all?Loving the IHP course by the way! Absolutely life changing. Adrienne: Hi Dr. Cabral, I trust your perspectives 100 percent and need your thoughts. I have o negative blood, the universal donor. I donate annually, because I fear it's not healthy at all. The Red cross wants me to donate every 56 days and are quite aggressive with their campaign towards o negative donors. How frequently is donating safe, and or healthy? Do you have any thoughts on the healing impact of a transfusion from someone in optimum health, versus an average person, on a standard American diet? You mention blood is a homeostatic fluid, however, for healing purposes, wouldn't blood from a healthy person be more ideal? Additionally, if you have thoughts on directed donations for friends and family for surgery, cancer, etc, please share. I sincerely, thank you for FREELY sharing your wisdom and knowledge. Hannah: Hi Dr Cabral! First of all, thanks for being awesome and sharing your knowledge. I'd love to know what your opinion is on Menstrual Cups. I personally try to avoid plastics due to the hormonal havoc they cause, and am switching to cloth reusable pads as my budget allows but am also looking at other options. I'm not sure if the silicone material used in the cups could be detrimental like plastics are. One of the reasons I'm researching my options, is because I have a history of endometriosis which was removed about 2 years ago via laparoscopic excision surgery, I have recently completed the CBO protocol, intestinal cleanse and am in my first month of gut healing protocol. I am also looking at doing the 21 day DCD and heavy metals protocol to ensure I am doing all I can to minimise the endometriosis coming back, if it hasn't already. Thank you! Patrick: Hey Dr Cabral hope all is well, I’m a huge fan and tell everyone I know all about you and send them some of your podcast that I know They will like. I was wondering if a hot cup of organic bone broth would be a good substitute for a hot cup of coffee plus a lot of times when I drink your dns or other drinks during the day I use a styrofoam cup with a plastic straw would it be better to go stainless steel for both.

1168: 100 Years of Health Statistics Don't Lie (TT)

Don't get me wrong - I love all the advances in technology, quality of life, and ease of access to food, etc... However, many of these "advances" we've made in modern civilization after about 1950 have come at a high price... And that price is our health - Almost none of today's preventable diseases were even a major cause of alarm just about 100 years ago... That means in only a century we've taken a turn for the worse and as you'll see on today's show the statistics don't lie...

1167: Are You Calcium Deficient? (WW)

Like most nutrient deficiencies the only time they ever get noticed is when they infrequently show up on blood work or you are suffering from a disease state… However, it’s far more common to be dealing with minor symptoms of nutrient deficiencies from a Functional Medicine pr Orthomolecular perspective...

1166: How Inflammation Attacks Your Body from The Inside Out (TWT)

Inflammation is now associated with over 90% of all diagnosed diseases… The problem is that we take this statistic at face value without understanding the deeper meaning of how inflammation works and why it’s so prevalent in today’s health issues… As we begin to dig deeper into the causes of inflammation we begin to see that inflammation itself is not a root cause… Tune in to today’s Cabral Concept 1166 to discover how inflammation affects the body from the inside out and what to do about it – Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1166 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1165: Make the Switch from a Reactive to Proactive Success Mindset (MM)

In my DESTRESS Protocol, I dedicate 2 parts to addressing mindset - I feel it’s that important...

1164: Detox Symptoms, Winter Asthma, Vaginal Itching, Vaginismus, Titanium Dioxide, Gestational Diabetes (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Charity: I ordered the 14 day detox. The 5th day in to the second week I got sinus pressure/cold. Mind you I haven’t been sick in probably 12 years ( other than a minor cold maybe once or twice) I woke up this morning and my left eye is horribly bloodshot and red . Just wondering if this is a side effect of the detox. I have never seen anything like this. James: I'm in my late 30's and have been dealing with asthma since childhood. I eat a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. I am dairy free and exercise on a regular basis. My asthma during the warmer months is very controlled with the medication Advair, but like clockwork, every November I start to suffer from nasal congestion, coughing, low energy and seemingly low immune system. This seems to go on and off for most of the winter months. I'm interested in finding the cause of my asthma instead of constantly treating the symptom with meds. Do you have a protocol for Asthma? Stacie: Hi! My husband and I just finished the 21 day detox on Friday (1-25). A couple of days before I finished the detox, I began experiencing a lot of vaginal itching and burning and redness around the opening of the vagina. I also had an increase of athlete's foot. I do experience these off and on, but they came back andI'm still dealing with it. Do you have any remedies that I could use topically? Also, we can't afford the OAT or HTMA tests right now. Would you recommend the CBO Protocol? I did post a question on the facebook page in December listing more of mine and my husband's symptons. A possible problem with starting the CBO protocol.....we are going on vacation to Aruba March 9-16. I guess I was wondering what course of action I/we should take? Anonymous: I writing about an issue I haven't found covered, but one I suffer from-Vaginismus. This has made intercourse very painful and basically impossible. I was only diagnosed by my gyno a few years ago, and haven't found many treatments for it other than basically physical therapy. For me this is primary (I've always experienced pain when using tampons or sometimes even exercising), and this does not come from any past abuse trauma. Has this come up in your practice and do you have a root cause explanation or recommendations outside of physical therapy that might help? Thank you all the resources and information you provide, I can't tell you how much your podcast and online community has helped me! Vanessa: Good Evening, Firstly I just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying reading The Rain Barrel Effect and thank you for all the information and resources you've provided in the book. I've been trying to switch to more natural make up and I just had a quick question (I hope it's ok to contact you about this). There is a brand here in Australia, INIKA Organic, that is considered a natural makeup brand. I had a look at their ingredients list and their mineral foundation includes the following: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499). Is this what should be avoided in the toxic make-up ingredients list on page 222 of the book under 'coal tar dyes' or are there different types of CI ingredients that are considered safe? I only ask because I was looking at the Maia's foundation ingredients and they also contain iron oxides with these numbers so I was a bit unsure. I did have a look at the link provided to the David’s website but I just wanted to double check. Thank you very much for any information or assistance. Kristen: My husband and I are trying to get pregnant for the second time. The first time, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Having educated myself on the pathogenesis of the disease, I am seeking help to avoid the hormonal imbalance if at all possible. I understand most of this is due to placental hormone release, but I am wanting to avoid it if I can control it with my diet, etc. I have a degree in biomedical sciences, so I can keep up with the lingo if you wouldn't mind giving me any advice with an explanation of WHY for me.

1163: AIP Diet, Fatigue Symptoms, Stress Worts, Research Study, Cat Allergy, DCD & CBO, Belly Bloat (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, What are your thoughts on AIP diet to heal the gut? I've done research about healing the gut and it all says you shouldn't have legumes, lentils, nuts, seeds, etc? My naturopath told me that is the best way to discover food sensitivities as well.Also, do you recommend still making sure you get 10,000 steps a day even if you're sick with a cold or cough or should you let your body rest as much as possible? Thank you so much! Robert: Hi 1. fatigue (mental and physical) 2. concentration issues 3. no energy ala chronic fatigue syndrome 4. neuroasthenia (weakness) 5. Depression 6. hypersensitivity to chemicals / electromagnetism 7. brain development issues (ADD but not autism) In the Boston area....Thanks Sarah: Hello, After ACL surgery in 1999, I started getting flat warts on my knees around the scars. They persisted over years. At least 10. Finally, they almost disappeared but a few were left. Recently, after a stressful life event, they’ve started accumulating around my neck and shoulders. I am 35 and have had these things making me feel so self-conscious and inhibiting my romantic life and self-esteem. I’ve looked at all types of treatments and cannot find anything that I know wouldn’t scar around my delicate neck and chest area. Do you have any suggestions for these? I don’t want to wait until I’m 45 until they go away this time. Thanks in advance and I’d be so grateful if you know of anything to eradicate these. Lindsey: Hello!I’m halfway through the 21 day detox and want to do the food sensitivity test right away when I’m done. Is it okay to not be eating the so called foods that usually show up as allergies (like gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, etc) and take the test or should I eat these foods in anticipation of taking the test? Thanks for any insight! -Lindsey Lauren: Hi Dr Cabral! I'm a member of IHP & was listening to the supplement module just now and it got me thinking. You mention that you don't publish your studies or research from your practice, mainly because you want to focus on the regular every day people that you can help, which is why you also do this podcast, and therefore you dont focus on the ones reading the journals or the research. I couldn't help but wonder though, wouldn't publishing these studies lead to other practitioners in the field help others in the same way, so therefore you would be helping the regular every day people anyway because at the end of the day, your goal is to help people understand how to get healthy & feel better? Or help the people that are helping those people?Wouldn't these huge research studies that you are doing lead towards the changes needed in how one approaches health? Dont we need more of this? You yourself say that you rely heavily on the research & read it daily, so I dont quite understand how such important data that you have collected in your practice is not being shared with the world. I have friends in research and I understand that it takes a lot of time, energy and money, but wouldn't it all be worth it? Thanks for taking the time to read my question, love all that you do Cheers Lauren Taylor:  Dear Dr. Cabral, Hoping you can help give me some insight. I have severe allergies (almost constant congestion, sneezing, red eyes, runny nose) to my cat. (I know - everyone asks why I still have the cat, but he is a part of the family and I had him for a year until I knew it was him that was causing my reactions and I couldn’t bear to get rid of him.) He’s 4 years old now. I take anti-histamines in the AM and PM (Allegra and Xyzal), and also get allergy shots every 2 weeks for a little over 2 years. I don’t want to keep taking medications, but they have helped to manage my symptoms. Even with all of this, I still get extremely bad days where I seem to flair up. I get extremely sick and barely function on these days due to the amount of sneezing, congestions, watery eyes, and my face even gets red/blotchy and itchy. I’m trying to make as many healthy choices as possible, but the shots & anti-histamines are essential at this point. I would like to heal this allergy from the inside out, with the hopes that I can someday come off the pills and/or shots. Any suggestions on how to heal my gut? I believe based on your podcasts that could be huge contributor to allergies? I take probiotics every day now, drink a lot of green smoothies or juices, eat a vegetarian salad for lunch, and try to mainly eat clean for dinner (whole foods, no dairy, no gluten usually). I did your Detox in the fall and will do another this Feb or March. P.S. Allergy testing showed that the cat was the ONLY thing I am allergic too (environmentally). I also have an old bathroom where we can see black mold on the ceiling, grout, and even the window now. I am hoping to renovate this bathroom soon, and clean out that black mold and any contributing factor it may have to my symptoms. You're recent podcasts on mold are what made me even think that mold could be a part of the issue. I have also considered running a food sensitivity test with my allergist, since insurance may cover it as they did the environmental test. A few weeks ago, I came off of birth control pills for the first time in 10 years. I am sure that the birth control has done lots of damage, but how much? What should I expect coming off the pill? And what can I do to help my body heal from taking it for that long? My hope is that with time, now off of the pill, I can heal my gut and hopefully heal my allergies. Lastly, the water that runs to our house (we have lived her 4 years) will occasionally turn light to medium brown. The town has said that this is excess iron in our water. Is this dangerous? Safe to drink (after filter)? Safe to bathe in? I would not bathe in it when it is tinted, but most of the time it is clear. It concerns me, but the town insists it’s perfectly safe (just old pipes). I don’t have a lot of spare money right now for testing, so what would be the #1 test you would recommend? You’re podcasts are helping me change my life for the better a little bit everyday. Thank you for everything you do, Taylor Tyler: I have candida overgrowth and have also never done a detox, I ordered your 21 day detox as well as the CBO detox can I do them at the same time or should I do one then the other, and what order is optimal? thank you. Ryan: I had a terrible stomach bug around two years ago that lasted around 10 days, it was accompanied with pretty severe bloating. Since that time, I still have bouts of severe bloating, to the point where my belt and pant-line can cut into my waistline. Very uncomfortable but not what I would call painful. I have also found it impossible to lose weight, I actually gained around 20 pounds during this time period despite trying many different diets, most recently Keto. No carbs in nearly three months and I have gained one pound. Searching for answers I have had nearly every panel my general doctor can request, food allergy tests, food intolerance tests, Genova diagnostics GI tests, SIBO breath test, food digestion/tracing tests and most recently an endoscopy. The result of all this testing is I do have some stomach inflammation and no presence of lactobacillus in my gut. I have been taking a high dose probiotic since. I do find that cutting carbs helps with my overall health, but I still can't lose weight and still have bouts of bloating. Being a frequent drinker of alcohol most of my life, cutting back on that now as well. I was referred here by Amanda as she has helped a family member with weight loss, but feels her program isn't right for me at this time.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1163 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1159: How Stress "Steals" Your Hormones (TWT)

Typically this is the case, but that doesn't happen without some major compensation within the body (especially under chronic stress)...

1157: Hyperhidrosis, Waldenstrom’s, Firefighter Detox, Nausea, Reynaud’s, Cancer Testing, Irritated Eyes, Flex Spending Health Insurance (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Anonymous: Hello, I'm a 30 years old living in Australia. I'm working on parasites and candida overgrowth, and acne which is going well. I also have hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) - hands, feet and underarms. I sweat any type of weather, more when i'm nervous which is normal I suppose. If I have a few alcoholic drinks it seems to stop. Is this because alcohol is a depressant? i'm wondering if there are any labs that would be needed to work out the cause of this. Is my sympathetic nervous system overactive? Are there any other treatments I can do other than clinical antiperspirants, botox or surgery. Thank you Rachel: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast and hope to soon become a student of the IHP courses. I have so many questions I'd love to ask but shall keep it to the most important one for today. My mum has Waldenstrom's. She is 71 years old and was disgnosed 8 years ago. She has her blood tested every 6 months which her oncologist checks and is currently on 'watch and wait' which basically means nothing is being done about treating her until it gets worse... and when it does (which we've been told is inevitable because Waldenstrom's is considered to be an incurable cancer of the blood) then she will be treated with medications and various other treatments which I don't know much about but it sounds like there is often a fast deterioration from this point. I would like to help her now, before she gets to a point where these medications and approaches are the only option. I'm also frustrated that she has suffered from so many other health issues over the years and is constantly seeing other specialists and undergiing treatments for these but that no-one is willing to look at her body as one whole interelated system. I'm not sure how to best help her. She eats healthily and exercises regularly, doesn't smoke and rarely drinks and she believes she's doing everything she can to be healthy but I feel like there must be more we can do now to help her prolong the negarive effects of the cancer kicking in. And I also wonder if it's possible to reverse the diagnosis completely with the right actions. Do you have any advice for us in regards to all of this? Thanks in advance for your answer and for all of the work you do and your amazing podcasts!! Warmly, Rachel Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral. My name is Rich. I work as a firefighter in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have been listening to your podcasts and love the information you are sharing. I also love that your goal is to help people achieve true health and wellness. I am very interested in taking your course to become an Integrative Health Practitioner. Where I would like to start using the information is within the fire department I work for. It is a large department with over 500 total employees. Firefighters are not typically that healthy, and have a long list of varying health problems which most treat with pharmaceuticals. I 100% believe that what you teach and practice is a better way to achieve health and not just mask the underlying problem. I am planning to approach my department admin to request they pay to send me through your courses so I can bring the information back to help our employees regain true health in both mind and body. We have annual physical exams with labs taken and I would like to see if we can include the labs you recommend in the future and I would like to learn how to read those labs and then move forward with suggestions to help people correct any abnormalities. Could you offer any recommendations or support as I move forward in this journey to make a healthier fire department? Thanks! Robin: Hello Dr. Cabral, My son has had ongoing bouts of nausea for the last 3 to 4 years. At this point he is coming up on the current bout lasting for nearly a year. We have run the gamut of testing over the years including allergies, ENT, hormonal, heart, mental/abdominal migraines, gastric emptying etc and there isn't really anything that is pointing us in the right direction. I have a friend, Ty Collins, who pointed me in your direction and recommended your Organic Acids Test lab as a possibility to help us figure out what is going on. We have done a lot of other testing as I mentioned above and are still unable to determine the cause of the issue. I was curious if there was any possibility of billing insurance for the testing. We have blue cross from CA. We are already well on our way to hitting our deductible for this year for testing for him and while I want to run this test, the cost is pretty high for us. Please let me know. Thank you, Robin Jody: Good morning, I just had a question about lab testing. My 15 year old daughter has symptoms consistent with Reynaud's. I understand that if we can figure out the root cause, we can likely get this to go away. Would the Omega -3 test be the best place to start with that? Victoria: Hello, I purchased the daily support in powered form. However I’m finding it hard to drink 2 smoothies a day. Is there anyway I can send back one powder and get it in pill form? Also does the daily support have everything I need it it as far as vit and minerals or does the daily multivitamin have other things I also need? Penny: Wondering what your thoughts are about blood testing for cancers. Lauren: IHP family.. please help! I’m getting more and more frustrated and don’t know what to do. I don’t want to go to my doctor because as we all know they will prescribe medicine where the goal is to get to the root cause. It is my EYES... and started almost 2 weeks ago. Woke up and one was very red and irritated- I had this before (about 18 months ago) they feel heavy and watery and look droopy. This is by far much worse than last time and just doesn’t seem to want to clear up. I have some better days but then wake up wanting to scratch my eyes out. I’ve tried various drops from the pharmacy- for allergies, dry eyes etc. I’ve bought new pillows and tries to eliminate some foods (I assumed at first I was taking too much greens powder - which has quite a lot of the grasses in). They are worst in the morning and seem to clear during the day... then I’m up a lot in the night I wake myself up scratching them. I really don’t know what to do. At the moment I’m on my own version of the Cabral detox as I don’t have access to the supppements um mainly doing two shakes (vegan protein, chia and frozen spinach with greens powder) a vegan lunch and protein dinner - no alcohol, dairy, red meat, gluten or eggs. I seem to have ongoing struggles with my eyes and know it can be linked to low blood sugar where I feel my vision is a little blurry but this is something else. I thought up to now it’s allergic rhinitis as I have been waking up sneezing and also congested and runny nose- I don’t know what to do or where to start to clear it up or find out what it is? Being in South Africa - I don’t have access to equilibrium testing- but there are a few functional doctors - I just need some guidance on a starting point please? My eyes are sore - red, itchy and irritated- mainly my left eye but at night I scratch both. Vision is clear just strained as they hurt. The bottom lids feel tender I think from scratching. There is no discharge - only sometimes just watery. Please help me start somewhere.. it’s now going on for 2 weeks and yes I have some better days but surely I can’t accept this is how it’s going to be? Thank you all in advance.... a range of pics- not sure it does them justice. My left eye dropps when it’s flared and the underneath are also puffy in the mornings. Don’t know what to do. Thank you Stephen and team Sam: I'm interested in buying the Big 5 test kit. Can you please tell me if I would be able to use my FSA (Flexible Spending Account) from my health insurance to pay for it?

1156: Lyme & Antibiotics, Detox Power, Hormone Acne, Cluster Headaches, Imposter Syndrome, High HPV (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Betsey: Dr. Cabral, I enjoyed your interview with Melissa Ambrosini a while back. I felt inspired to make changes and work with my aryervedic body type. I also tried your CBD and enjoyed it’s effects. I’m currently scheduled to see Dr X for Lyme Disease. But I feel uncomfortable treating with antibiotics because I believe so fully in natural medicine and natural living. I just heard on your podcast about the disease being gone but that I need to detox. My nervous system is the biggest issue which is why I’m hurrying to get help. It’s difficult to breathe, walk, eat, speak, and think most days. I also have terrible convulsions regularly. I believe my body can heal on its own with the right tools but I’m feeling rushed to get better given my circumstances. I’m considering canceling with Dr. X and I’m curious what you charge for treatment and when you’d be available. Thanks for all you do, Betsey Stacy: First, thank you for your amazing and informative podcast! I appreciate you spending so much time sharing what you have learned, as well as the support of you, your team and other members of the FB page! I have learned so much! I recently finished my second DCD and had very different results than most seem to have. While I recognize, understand and appreciate that everyone is different, it has led me to one major question. Before I go further with my detox experience, I am on Lexapro. Thankfully, it is the last prescription med I am taking and my goal is to also remove that from my life-I have already been able to stop taking two other psychotropic meds, as well as a PPI since doing the CBO protocol last year. About a week after finishing the DCD, I noticed a change for the worse in my mood. I noticed feeling sadder and even more anxious. Just for more complete information, I also take adrenal soothe, cal/mag, full spectrum mag, activated b complex, vitamin d, daily thyroid support, and adrenal support. I spoke to my health coach who shared it is possible, but not entirely common for the antidepressant to lose its efficacy due to the detox. I have some conjectures of my own as to why there could be a connection between a detox and a lessening of an antidepressant's efficacy, but I was not able to find anything definitive on Dr. Google (as you like to say). :) I did speak with my PCP prior to the DCDs and she was fine with me doing them, but does not feel they are necessary or really useful. So, I do not feel I will get an unbiased response to this question/query. Bottom line-why might the efficacy of the antidepressant I take lessen after a DCD? I want and feel it necessary to do them in the future, so if there is something I can do to cope with it--that would be great! Thank you, in advance! Stacy Tara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I really appreciate all that you do for our health! I did the 7 day DCD in July 2018, Big 5 Labs in August, finished the CBO Protocol in December (also completing the Heavy Metal Protocol at the end the CBO), did another 7 day DCD at the beginning of January, and am now doing the Healthy Gut Protocol and Parasite Protocol. I’ve followed all the supplement suggestions from your health coach (including Estrogen balance and seed cycling for my estrogen dominance), and haven’t had any of the foods that I’m sensitive to even for my once a week cheat meal. I am eating clean, following the DCD guidelines very closely. I fast 12 hours a night and eat 3 meals a day, plus liquid shake for a snack in the afternoon. I work out (weight lifting, HIT training, Pyo, running) 6 days a week. I’ve been off all pharmaceutical drugs for 4 months (NasalCrom for allergies, Birth Control Pill, Ziana gel for acne). Still, I have terrible facial acne! It usually ramps up the week before my period, and then I break out for 2-3 weeks, then have 1 week of clear skin before it starts over. I’ve listened to your previous podcasts on acne and you state that it’s “bad blood” or poor gut health, but I feel like I’ve already cleaned up my gut and liver and am at a loss for what else can be done. Thanks for any light you can shed on this. Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to say first, thank you so much for all the helpful information you’ve provided the community. I also want to apologize for this long winded question. I have a history of cluster headaches over the last 10 years. I get them every 1.5-2 years. My usual triggers are either processed foods, or strong smells, so I avoid them as much as possible. I’ll get the ice pick unilateral ocular headache twice a day for 1-2 weeks per attack, always a couple hours after sleeping so I wake up, and then again in the daytime at some point. I have to either inhale oxygen at 15L through a non rebreather for 20 min IF I can catch it right when it starts. If not I need to take 50mg imitrex, and pace around and get fresh air until the headache subsides. During my most recent attack my trigger was the daily nutritional support shake, and the attack was worse than ever lasting a month. I asked the support group about any inside tips, they didn’t think it was the shake. I tried searching the podcasts for cluster headaches and didn’t find any podcasts. I stayed away from the support shake and then 2 months later added it back just in case I was wrong about my triggers, but another round of cluster headaches came back. 1. I think I need to do a detox, but how can I do this without the daily shakes? I don’t see the detox supplements sold separately 2. When I do get the cluster headaches what are your tips on how to end the cycle sooner? I will typically switch to an organic diet, avoiding processed foods, nitrates even in spinach and such, caffeine, tannins, and any products with scents. I’ll increase my yoga and low impact exercise, I’ve tried 120mg verapamil twice daily, capsaicin nasal spray, increasing magnesium glycinate 800mg daily, and melatonin 10mg nightly, chiropractors, massage, cupping and accupuncture, but I’m feeling helpless. Thanks for the advice in advance! Ryan: This I guess applies to my Success Mindset aspect of my health, I wanted to ask you about the Imposter Syndrome. You have mentioned many times how sick you were when you were young and that even up until your mid-late 20s you were relapsing every now and then. However, this whole time you were training and teaching people and seeing clients etc and advising them on how to get well. I think this question would especially apply to when you were a young PT and quite sick yourself at the time. Did you ever feel the Impostor Syndrome? Did you feel bad that you were telling people do this or that and how to to get healthy when you yourself were not? Sometimes I think I should wait and hold back on teaching certain things because I'm not quite there myself yet, even though I have the knowledge and can advise. What's your take? Should you push through and advise if you have the knowledge or hold back until you've fully healed in that area as well? Would you change anything looking back? Thanks so much for all you do! Erin: Hi, has Dr Cabral ever successfully treated anyone with high grade HPV Virus?

1151: How to Use the “Win or Learn” Success Formula (MM)

It's highly unlikely you'll ever hit a home run the first time you swing at a baseball... We know it would be ridiculous to believe otherwise, but for some reason we think we should be "hitting home runs" the first time we try other things in life... And when we don't hit it out of the park we can tend to get angry, upset, irritable or depressed with the lack of results we are making towards achieving our goals (and often just give up)... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1151 I want to show you how to use the "Win or Learn" success formula for attaining every goal you set for yourself in life - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1151 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1150: Abestosis, Cooked Meat Reactions, Natural Treatments, Lasting Yeast Issues, Sugar in Shake, Sjogren’s Symptoms (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Sydney: Hey Dr. Cabral, thank you for doing your dharma. Your podcasts and IHP have quite literally changed my life, my families life, my communities and my clients lives. However, a family friend has just been diagnosed with abestosis, which he got from a job he worked in his early thirties. Conventional medicine hasn’t been able to help him in any way but I just feel like there has to be a way! I’ve done some research and All I’ve found is that high dosages of vitamin C and omega 3’s can be beneficial. I’m not sure if this is true or if there is anything that can be done. Just wondering if there’s anything you know of that can help. Thanks so much doc. Syd Marco: I have a few questions for Dr. Cabral: Have you ever heard of someone being allergic or sensitive to denatured proteins? 'm a Caucasian male in my early 30s and this problem started happening about 4 years ago. I have a reaction when I eat overcooked meats from any type of animal. I also have the same reaction to sharp cheeses and most kinds of yogurt - Greek more than others. I can eat any amount of Oaxaca cheese but just a gram of feta will make me react. Liquid diary is no issue. Eggs cause the reaction if the yolk is solid, I can eat 3 raw eggs with no issue, but if I hard-boil the same eggs my cheeks get red and flushed as soon as I take a bite. With meat it's the same thing, I can eat rare steak but if it's cooked I react. The most intense and immediate sign is redness and heat on my cheeks, and a general sort of inflammatory response. When this happens I stop eating so I don't know how bad the reaction would be if I ate more. What's going on with me? I've tried looking into relevant literature but I mostly find information about people being allergic to UNcooked foods, where I have the opposite problem. My current working hypothesis is that heat-damaged cross-linked animal proteins made it through my gut lining and caused an allergy; that can happen when your body finds proteins where they shouldn't be, right? I have explored the exogenous histamine hypothesis but only a couple things on the "histamine list" cause problems for me, and I've never had this reaction to any vegetable, raw or fermented. Can cooking food increase histamine content? Thanks for all your hard work changing people's lives you're the best! Ethan:I am a Family Nurse Practitioner, who would like to take the Integrative Health Practitioner course. I would like to start implementing more natural approaches for patients, as conventional medicine is not as effective as I would like. When is the next sign up for the course and can I get on the list early? Thanks for everything you do, Ethan Nolween: Hi Dr Cabral, I discovered after a food intolerance test that I have multiple intolerances including yeast (+dairy etc.). I believe it is due to leaky gut and candida, and have been working on resolving this. However it's been a year and I still can't manage to intake probiotics or fermented foods without side effects (and some gut supplements include yeast). > Q: Is yeast intolerance a real lasting intolerance or usually temporary due to candida overgrowth? What could I do to improve this? > Equilibrium tests such as stool tests cannot be done from France (where I live) and I am struggling to find available tests locally. How can I get those tests done? It would be great to have a partnership with labs internationally. (PS. Loved your book!) Thanks a million!! Nolwenn Sarah: Hello, the detox program was recommended to me to help heal Hashimoto's and to lose weight that has been stuck for a couple years as a result. I am very keen to try it, as I know someone who had great success. I am however very disappointed to see sugar as an ingredient in the smoothie. This makes no sense to me whatsoever. Having been involved in health for over 28 years and have not consumed sugar for many years. Why on Earth would I want to consume it during a detox when there is so much evidence that sugar negatively affects the brain and the body? Why would you make this an ingredient in such an otherwise beautiful product? Why not use Monkfruit? Haley: Hi Dr. Cabral! Do you have any resources on Sjogren’s disease that you’d recommend? Or do you have any podcasts regarding Sjogren’s? I typed it into the search bar and there were zero results but just thought I’d double check. My husbands grandma suffers from extreme sensitivity to heat & sun light (she gets physically ill if Out in the sun for too long) She’s been diagnosed with collitis, severe gluten intolerance, is on medication for high blood pressure, and cholesterol, has chronic back pain, and most recently been diagnosed with the Sjogren’s. She has had multiple stool tests done and tests but has told me that her drs say there is nothing they can do besides help her symptoms Sorry for the all over information but that’s all I have to go off of, any guidance will be so greatly appreciated! I am a Nutrition coach and Personal trainer so I do have knowledge in the health and wellness space and am currently having her map out all the things she eats and journaling symptoms but I need more help Thank you so much for any help you can offer!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1150 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1149: Detox Adjustments, M.E. Symptoms, Advice on Labs, Vegan Bloating, "Special" Probiotic Strain, Chlorella Detox, Childhood Health, Food Allergy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Samantha: Hello! i just had a question regarding the detox, i have been on it for over a week (im doing 14 days) and am experiencing bloating and have not lost a single pound. Is this suppose to happen during the detox period? Also i have had some mild increase in anxiety but am getting that under control. I am drinking more than enough water and have been pretty strict and am not sure why i am retaining the weight. I am 5'9 and 137 lbs. I would love an answer back to just see if i am doing something wrong. Thank you. Alejandro: What are some fundamental steps I can follow if Im suffering from mialgic encefalomielitis and I have struggles even reading or talking with people? Best wishes. Con: Hello, just wondering about the best way to begin treatment by Dr Cabral. I live in Australia, I already have various test results such as a fatty acids profile, hair tissue mineral analysis and gut explorer. Is Dr Cabral able to interpret these results during our first appointment, etc? Also, is there a waiting period that I could be placed on, etc? My health issues are quite complex so I presume I would require a fairly lengthy treatment plan. Thanks in advance, Con. Samantha: Hello! i just had a question regarding the detox, i have been on it for over a week (im doing 14 days) and am experiencing bloating and have not lost a single pound. Is this suppose to happen during the detox period? Also i have had some mild increase in anxiety but am getting that under control. I am drinking more than enough water and have been pretty strict and am not sure why i am retaining the weight. I am 5'9 and 137 lbs. I would love an answer back to just see if i am doing something wrong. Thank you. Megan: Hey Dr Cabral, firstly Thank you for all the incredible work you do. You are the first person in many many years to give me hope that I can get well and live a life beyond my dreams so for that I thank you! I have been listening to a recent podcast talks about a certain bacteria strain that is essential for healing leaking gut. The product is called Just which contains a patented strain called Bacillus Indicus. My question is are you aware of this product? I’m just curious as to why this strain isn’t in the Daily Probiotic Support? I always like to learn and understand why that might be? They talk about it being able to heal leaky gut in many cases in 30 days. Thanks so much Meghan Terry: Hi there, I have listening to your podcasts and reading your book. I am thinking about purchasing the 7 day detox. However, I have had issues with chorellla in the past. Yes, it was broken cell wall type. I threw it up. Has this come up with clients before? Is there any specific thing you suspect when clients have issues with Chlorella? I have been trying to heal many issues for a long time include lots of toxins, weight gain, irregular pain and stiffness, etc. A bit of background about me....Most of tests you recommend I have taken in the past (hair mineral analysis, thyroid panel, adrenal function, Genova diagnotstics lab evaluation of neurotransmitters, Krebs cycle, fats, etc) I have used the GAPS diet off and on since 2008. It works as long as I eat soup. I am aware that there are parasite issues, hormonal issues, blood sugar regulation issues, etc. I was low carb while on GAPS and that led blood sugar problems and weight gain (high cortisol). Now it is low.. Since I believe the issues were toxin related, I even did a week of Panche Karma with a practitioner in VA. Candice: I am wondering if you can help address any issues with children? I've recently discovered you thanks to becoming a certified coach with Amanda in the curriculum, a few of your podcasts have been recommended. I am a RN turned stay at home mom but am constantly doing my own research and have turned to the more holistic side of health; so much so that, if I were to go back into the clinical field, my conscience would not allow me to go back in the same capacity I once was. I say all that just to reach out regarding my 8 year old daughter who I constantly battle stomach issues with. I won't go into detail here as I"m not even sure you can address someone that young, but I wanted to reach out here before seeing her local pediatrician and them just prescribing her another pill or wanting to run a myriad of tests that will likely not even address the root cause of whatever is going on. Thanks for all you do! Samantha: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been listening to your podcast since mid-2018 and find your topics so informative and important. Thank you for sharing this valuable information to everyone! My fiance has random outbursts of allergic reactions that cause either his lip or tongue to swell. This typically happens right when he wakes up and they happen randomly. He has never noticed it to be from a specific food that he has eaten. He has been tested for allergies and the test came back inconclusive because he is allergic to so many specimens. He was told he has angioedema and that it is incurable but can be treated with medication. The last reaction he had started on the left side of his lip when he woke up in the morning, but by the end of the day it had moved to the right side of his lip. I know this random swelling is not a normal thing and I am hoping you can recommend a test to take or what might be causing it? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

1146: 9 Signs You’re Not Eating Enough Protein (WW)

Although I’ve spoken before about the serious health complications that can come from eating too much protein the same can be said for going too low in your diet on this macro... However, the symptoms of protein malnutrition are very different than eating too much protein... One causes an anabolic imbalance, while the other you will see signs of catabolism and breakdown... They are actually very predictable and that’s why in today’s #CabralConcept 1146 I want to share with you the 9 signs you’re not eating enough protein - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1146 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1143: Lab Pop-Up, Microscopic Heamaturia, NAET Therapy, Zeolites, Hysterectomy, Detox Results (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral Im writing this question as i can not find much info about this on any of your podcasts. I have a long medical history but im going to keep in brief. I have had microscopic heamaturia now for about 2 years i have had urine cytology which was clear and a cystoscopy which was normal, blood and urine show no infections. I have had bladder symptoms such as a need to urinate even when i just passed urine no stinging or pain and im not constantly urinating. So i dont expect IC. I have had alot of stress in past which led to Hormonal inbalances and IBS symptoms abdo cramps, gas blaoting i wondered if this could be related. Would you have any insight into what may cause this micro heamaturia? I have recently signed up to you IHP course and can not wait to get started thankyou. Tanya: Has Dr. Stephen Cabral ever discussed NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique)in any of his podcasts? I searched for it, but nothing came up. I came across the NAET technique in a book I was reading and was wondering what Dr. Cabral thinks of it.Thanks Stephen: Hello there,I'm trying to find more information about zeolite, and I'd like to hear Dr. Cabral's viewpoint. When I search zeolite in the podcast search of the website only episode 779 comes up. In that episode he mentions that he has a couple of episodes on zeolites, and to search for them in the search bar. Could I be missing something? Thank you, -Stephen Cara: Hey Dr. Cabral! I love listening to your podcasts! I have 2 questions: 1. What is your opinion of having a hysterectomy? I am 38 years old. My husband and I are finished having children. I have very heavy & painful periods that really disrupt my life for a week a month. I am currently taking estrogen balance after doing the thyroid, adrenal, hormone test. Although that has helped my mood, it hasn't lessend my period symptoms. 2. What is your opinion of the appetite suppressant supplement Hoodia Gordonii? Becki: I've been listing to Dr Cabral's podcast for quite some time. I am 43 years old, 5' 4" and 198 lbs. 7-8 years ago I had a partial hysterectomy so over the past year I've started using progesterone cream along with estridail vaginal cream. I also have diverticulitis with 3 flareups in the past few months. Colonoscopy scheduled for Feb 11. I'm on day 6 of the 21 day Dr Cabral Detox. I feel good. Lots of bowl movements and pain in my joints which has now subsided. However I don't think I've lost any weight yet. I also take the Equilibrium CBD oil twice daily. I should also add that I have a stressful family life as my daughter has several health conditions....along with a stressful, high paced career. Last spring I had functional lab testing which I would like to share for review. Please let me know your recommended next steps.Thank you Becki   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1143 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1142: Myelofibrosis, Crippling Brain Fog, Food Ordering, Familial Hypercholesterolemia, Bacterial Acne (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Kerryn: Hello Dr Cabral, thank you for sharing your wisdom, I really appreciate your insights into health and wellbeing. My question is on behalf of a colleague who has Myelofibrosis. She is a single Mum to 2 school age children and is slowly experiencing a deterioration of symptoms (particularly fatigue). She has been seeing the same haematologist for many years and is under the impression that there is nothing she can do to slow down/ halt the progression of her condition. She eats a standard diet, is busy with work/ parenting duties and does not have any regular physical exercise that Im aware of. She also lives in a house with rising damp and her 2 children have asthma and seem to get recurrent coughs/ colds. What would be some steps she could take to improve her condition? With gratitude Kerryn Jill: Hi there, I’m 38yrs old and have been sick for 4yrs. Chronic migraines with severe vertigo and crippling brain fog, also hormone imbalance. I’ve seen numerous docs, including a naturopath, but I’m growing worse. All MRI’s and scans show I’m healthy. All docs point to daily medication, which I’ve resisted. I’m very active, a long distance runner, raising two beautiful little girls, and I long to get back to myself for them. Can you please help me? Grace: Hi Dr. Cabral. Love the podcast! I lose weight very easily so I like to have oatmeal in the morning with my smoothie. You say you have oatmeal as well before your smoothie. Isn’t that improper food combing though? Shouldn’t the smoothie be first and the oatmeal after or it doesn’t really make a difference? Also, is it okay to add nuts and seeds in your morning oatmeal or do you think that will cause to much digestive issues? Thanks so much for all you do! Josh: Dr. Cabral, First and foremost Happy New Year! I hope this email finds you well. Over the last couple of months I’ve taken an interest in the study of Ayurvedic Medicine, in hopes of finding a more natural approach to my condition (more on that in a minute). In doing so, I’ve come across a lot of your work (via Youtube & your website) which I must say has been very enlightening. Contrary to most Western MD’s, I like the fact that you dig deep into the underlying root causes of your patients problems rather than just taking a one size fits all approach and prescribing potentially harmful medicine that leads to other issues. I’ll keep my story rather short as I’m sure you’re busy and receive many of these. I’m 36 years old today and when I was 18 years old I was officially diagnosed with Familial Hypercholesterolemia. I’ve had combined levels of total Cholesterol as high as 411 with LDL in upwards of 250 mg/dl. This wasn’t a complete surprise however, as my Mother and most on her side with our blood type (B+) carry this “genetic” disorder. I’ve seen various doctor’s and cardiologists since, and all seem to agree that this disease is not curable and that I must take heavy doses of statins (which my body rarely tolerates), and most recently PCSK9 inhibitors, which to be honest have worked remarkably. The problem is getting approvals from insurance and consistently fighting through appeals due to the cost and classification of the drug, this and the fact that no one really knows the long-term side effects of them. Over the last 18 years I’ve tried to become an expert in my disease, but depending on what literature you read, Cholesterol is either the hero or the villain. You hear the Big Pharma stories about how much they profit off statin prescriptions, and how they’re overprescribed. I’m at a point where I don’t know who to trust or believe. As far as lifestyle, I feel great. Since my diagnosis I’ve maintained a strict regimen from a diet and exercise perspective. I play sports routinely, and maintain an active lifestyle. I’ve done everything from Veganism to Keto with little to no results on overall Cholesterol. I meditate daily and routinely work on stress management, yet this disease constantly lingers in the back of my head creating anxiety and fear that I can’t seem to escape. I currently live in Miami, Florida so I’m not sure how practical it is for me to be a patient of yours being located in Boston, but I’m hoping you can provide advice on what kind of approach you would take for someone with my condition. Or perhaps even recommend a colleague in the general vicinity. I have a beautiful family with two young children that I want to be around for many years to come. I’m in search for answers, and I think our stories can relate to some extent. I’m hoping you can be that “alternative” doctor that changes my life as yours did for you. Respectfully, Joshua Karin: Love your podcast!!! My acne has cleared after spending the holidays at the beach in the sun. You have mentioned that the sun kills the bacteria. Was hoping you could elaborate a bit more and give other ways to beat this acne besides spending too much time in the sun. Been home a week now and it is back. Thanks!!

1136: Long Menstrual Cycle, Timeline to Get Well, Chocolate Detox, Weight Loss Halt, Mycophenolic Acid, Night Sweat Causes (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Natalie: I’ve been looking all over to find where to post questions for the podcast. Can I please send here??? I’ve had light vaginal bleeding for 17 days now. My last period was two weeks before this and it was the lightest I’ve ever had and it only lasted for two days. I am Suspecting a hormonal imbalance and attempting to find a natural medicine practitioner in my area. Any idea what it may be so I can get a heads up on this? Not a miscarriage. Not on bc. Athletic and healthy (no med history) yet I’ve had chronic sinusitis for almost 3 months now. Dre: Thank you so much for your generosity- I have learned so much about my health and how to get well from your podcasts, lab tests, and protocols. My question is a general one: so many of us have suffered from dis-ease symptoms for long periods of time, how do we know whether to stick with a plan or if we should try something different? Sometimes symptoms seem to come and go and it is hard to evaluate whether there is overall improvement, do you recommend a way to keep track while working through a protocol? Maybe a journal? What helped you keep motivated through your healing process? How did you self-monitor your symptoms? You've said that 3 to 6 months is typical, is the progression toward health usually linear? Or are there ups and downs? It requires faith to stick through a long journey to health, and I truly appreciate the encouragement you offer by saying "you absolutely can get well, you need to become your own investigator". These words keep me going. Thank you. Patricia: I have the 7 day detox. Can you add organic coco powder to the shakes? Patricia: There are about 7 of us that have started the 7 day detox at the same time on Monday. Everyone is posting their weight loss. 6 pounds 5 pounds etc. I have only lost a pound. I am looking to loose 8-10 pounds. Why am I not loosing any more weight? Also is the first 2 days supposed to get you into ketosis? Tee: Hi Dr. Cabral you are amazing! I am so thankful and grateful for your phenomenal podcasts jam packed full of outstanding knowledge! I recently ordered your mycotoxin testing kit.

1135: Food Nausea, Osteogenesis Imperfector, Practitioners, Saunas & Metals, Serrapeptase, Airplane Bloating (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Bria: I am desperate for help for my sister. Please!! For two years, she’s been unable to eat almost anything except a few foods. One mistaken ingredient, and she’s vomiting for 72 hours with a raging migraine. Even a sip of water causes her to vomit so she can’t keep anything down during this period of time, not medicine, not electrolytes, nothing. She knows she has Cibo, and bought the CBO protocol from your site. One pill sent her over the edge and into severe vomiting for three days. Please help! Western medicine doctors call it acid reflux but we know it’s not tha. How can she get the Cibo out of her system if she can’t even take one pill? The number of days of missed work, the amount of money spent, and the helplessness of her husband and her family is very difficult to watch. She recently saw a functional medicine practitioner in Anaheim California, but hasn’t been able to even start that lingual medicine yet. We need guidance. Thank you. Bria Jeanette: (I felt I couldn’t ask this question on the Facebook page due to privacy for my daughter) I have searched the list of podcast topics and have not located any information on osteogenesis imperfector. My daughter was clinically diagnosed with OI type 1 twenty years ago and has had ten fractures predominantly involving leg bones. Prior to 2011 she had not endure pain other than when she broke. In March 2011 she had to move 4 hours away to attend university and that very weekend she had to be hospitalised for an absus removal. Soon after she started having back pain and has endured 8 years of constant pain while studying a pharmacy degree. Over this time Ok she has taken anti inflammatories of varying strengths since it started in 2011. Plus a paracetamol every day at a full dose. She was on tramadol from May 2011 - October 2018 and now Is taking palexia. She took omeprazole along side the anti inflammatory as well. It seems as a result of the medication she has an ulcer and has regular bouts of diarrhoea. She lost 10kg in 2018 and was hoping with this she would lessen the pain which has only happened a little. When she tries to exercise the pain gets worse. As a mum I hate to see her in pain. In 2012 we took her to an alternative practitioner who had her on water and fruit for six months, but it made no difference and consequently she is very sceptical of all things alternative. As an wellness client I am starting to experience success Please help me with some ideas for my daughter. Kira: Do you have a list of recommended function medicine practitioners in certain areas or do you have a suggestion for finding a good one. I live in Fair Oaks, CA. Thanks. Patrick: Thanks so much for sharing all of your knowledge I can’t even express you how much I appreciate it. Im 45 years young 5/7 and weigh 170 when I started listening to you 6 months ago I was 205 . just making some simple life changes and taking your Daily Nutritional Support shake. I’ve always been very active but now feel the best I ever felt . I’ve been listening to about 3 or 4 of your podcasts a day. since hearing the ones on saunas I now try to use one 3 days a week for 20 minutes I know you say it’s a great way to detox and has a ton of benefits but I’m not sure if you answered if it detoxs heavy metals , if I can’t get to the gym to use the sauna I take a dr teals epson salt bath will that have some of the same benefits and will that detox heavy metals. Thanks again for all you do and keep up the good work . Elizabeth: Hey Dr Cabral, recently I came across Serrapeptase and found it very interesting, particularly concerning circulation and cysts. I decided to take 80,000IU Serra for a cyst located on the inframammary fold of the breast as it appears Serra may be extremely helpful for eliminating cysts. Unfortunately, upon using Serra on two separate occasions, it caused vomiting (the second time I took only one tablet). I contacted the company to ask if this could possibly be a detox/herxheimer reaction or if generally it does not agree with the body, unfortunately they were unhelpful. Having done some further research, Serra can result in nausea and may be best to start off with a lower potency, even though the majority of Serra start at 40,000iu. I did a podcast search and you briefly mention Serrapeptase on podcast 617, the notes link is missing so not sure of the brand suggested but wondered if you had any thoughts? Perhaps it can conflict with some people and I should just discontinue? (May also have underlining candida/thyroid issues). Thank you always for all you do. Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, could you suggest anything for getting bloated on a flight? I tend to not eat/drink anything during a flight (unless I'm flying business it may be a light meal and bottled mineral water). I tend to have peppermint tea (at least two cups) before the flight. Even on a sleeper service flat bed and not eating or drinking anything may cause some bloating. I never touch the water/tea/coffee on a flight due to the hygiene. Even after a flight I can occasionally be left bloated for a couple of days. Does an aggravated/inflamed stomach during a flight specifically indicate something such as candida or is it simply the air pressure can be hard on a sensitive stomach? Is there anything you would recommend that would prevent an uncomfortable stomach during a flight? Thank you very much.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1135 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1133: 5 Core & Ab Exercises You Should Be Able To Complete (TT)

Developing "core" strength goes well beyond what your actual mid-section looks like... Core strength is actually something that enables you to stay injury free, improve posture, be able to be functionally strong, and so much more... The problem is that this type of strength decreases over time due to our modern lifestyle and most people don't know it is even happening...

1130: Beware of These 7 Signs of Burn Out (MM)

In our Western-based mindset, we typically continue to push ourselves until it's too late... This can mean too much stress, work, exercise, food, alcohol, or any number of items... But in the end, the mind and body perceive stress as a threat and it's forced to mount its own attack to prepare for the enemy...

1129: Nasolabial Fold Filler, RA, Parathyroid Hormone, Children's Gut Health, Olive Oil Lemon Drink, Dry Fast, Sleeplessness, Dream Like Vision (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Heidi: Hi Dr Cabral, Not sure if you have answered this question previously, but I was wondering if you have knowledge relating to dermal fillers and their harmfulness for the body. I had filler injections done to my nasolabial folds a few months back and am so pleased with the results. I am 25 years old and have very minimal wrinkles, however my nasolabial folds are very deep, which seems to be genetic, as some of my other family members have the same disposition. I generally have a good self body image, however this particular detail has been causing me grief since a young age. Now I feel very relaxed and at ease about my appearance and would love to get them done regularly to continue to feel this way, however I am concerned about the negative impact on my overall health. Would you definitely advise against dermal fillers, and if so, are there any more natural alternatives that you are aware of, or would you have any recommendations for where I could do further research on this subject? Many thanks Denise: Hi,I love your podcasts and have learned so much. I think your great and have tried a number of protocols and supplements. I am at the point that I am having my mercury fillings removed properly and need detox help. I have RA and get flares often so i need to be careful on the detox and was wondering about using zeolites or another safe detox so I don't get bad flares. Any help would be greatly appreciated . Thanks for all you do for us we really appreciate you. Sincerely Denise Ales: Hello Dr.Cabral, The science is very clear that as long as your PTH (parathyroid hormone) is around or below 30pg/mL, the body isn’t deficient neither with calcium nor with vitamin D, even if 25-OHD is at let’s say only 30ng/mL, which is much lower than you suggest to keep vitamin D levels at. Why don’t you ever talk about PTH despite it being a crucial marker to look at when assessing vitamin D and calcium deficiency? Bec: Hi There: I  am interested in ordering a leaky gut test for my 3.5 year old boy. He was born via emergency c-section, at 2.5 years old had his tonsils & adenoids taken out as well as grommets put into both ears. This was due to oversize tonsils and adenoids as well as multiple ear infections and antibiotics. Since hitting 3.5 he has had chronic eczema in all the traditional places (wrists, middle of arm, back of legs and front of neck). I have taken him to the dermatologist who recommended pulse steroid cream treatment. Said that this is the only treatment plan, there is no proactive solution and this is normal for children to develop, this is not diet or allergy related. The visit to the dermatologist was day light robbery to say the least! I try and follow a healthy wholefood diet, he can be a picky eater. Minimize as many toxic substances as possible (although I could get better) he does however enjoy regular cows milk in the morning and before bed. I am trying to eliminate this but a bit afraid of the fights it may cause. He is overall very healthy & happy. Has not been sick or on antibiotics since his operation. Do you think starting with a leaky gut test would be the best way to start to understand what is going on and what remedy we can take on to improve his overall health and skin? Thank you so much for your help! Sanne: Hi Doctor Cabral! I was wondering if you’ve ever heard of liver detox, involving drinking olive oil/lemon juice mixture for a couple of days. And if so, what you think about it? Thanks for all you do! Sanne Ellie: Hi, I fast for Yom Kippur each year, which is a completely dry-fast. I am wondering what I can do in the day before (or several days leading up to it) to help my fast go smoothly. I often feel weak and shaky during the day. I just did your 7 day detox and felt these same symptoms on days 1 and 2, but much less severe due to all of the micronutrients. If you have any suggestions regarding your products (for example, should I double my DNS dose the day before Yom Kippur?) or other things I can do on my own (diet, exercise, electrolyte intake, etc) that would be great. Thank you! Renee: I am on day two of the 21 day Detox and the first night I could not sleep . Prior to starting, I do not take caffeine or stimulants. Is there caffeine/stimulants in the proprietary blend of herbs as part of the AYU Detox or FM Detox capsules? I would still like to continue, what do you recommend for sleep? Tayler: Hi, my name is Tayler. I am 19 years old. When I was 16 I was diagnosed with POTS. I suffer from anxiety, 2-3 headaches daily, blood pooling at my feet, and constant flare ups where I can feel my nerves. I also experience dream-like vision very often when driving or when I am up and moving, which no one is able to explain. I am extremely active. I go to the gym and get my heart rate up almost every day. I am able to exercise intensely to an extent without feeling like I'm experiencing POTS symptoms that interfere with my workout. In the past month, I've only been working out maybe twice where I pushed myself too hard to the point of needing to sit down because if I were to stand up, I'd fall over. I eat an 80% plant based diet and I am working toward 100%. I'm not sure what to do when it comes to getting rid of the headaches, dream-like vision, POTS, and anxiety and I know you can help me. It's hard to tell if I have a bunch of separate problems or if this is something bigger.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Taylor: Dr. Cabral, thank you for your Podcast, Book, and wealth of information, the unique combining of ayurvedic/ancient healing into the realm of our western cultures today is extremely helpful and valuable. My question, i have high crp/inflammation markers. Im early 30s now, male, and played collegiate football with a history of concussions. Ive tried taking Omega-3s, both high EPA and High DHA forms, from every clean, reputable brand possible, because i know they are supposed to help with healing my brain and depression, mood, concentration which i all have problems with. However, everytime I try taking any form of fish-oil, cod liver oil, krill oil, etc, I feel really confused, retarded, amd depressed (forgetting to put my car in park, going from a good mood to thinking harmful thoughts, etc.). I know I Need more Omega 3s in my diet to help with my current symptoms, but my body/mind always seems to reject these when I'm trying to help it.... Any thoughts as to how to fix this? Why it may happen? Or other options to get Omega 3s... (Same affect with algea oil, and i know flax/chia is hardly enough because of the conversion). Im really stumped, hope you can shed some light. Thanks for all you do. Ursula: Dear Dr Cabral and Team, please please let me save your time and come straight to the point,... after years of big health problems i found your page i listen to your podcasts and i have finally faith again!!!! I recently ordered the CBO protocol everything arrived and all good so far,... After listening to many of your podcasts i started to supplement zink (mg per day) and glutamin 3 times 5g. I felt good first but i fell sick on a very deep level, am better now but my bodies, still tries to get rid of something (have metal? it feels and tastes like iron everywhere in my nostrils, stomach, mouth etc). I am reale not sure anymore what to do now or first??? Should i have ordered the detox first, or the heavy metal detox first, or should i start the CBO protocol. And stay with zink?? and glutamin? I don't know how to start now, i am scared that everything is going to be worse. I have a little daughter (1,5 years) not a lot money but i need to get on the right way. Please let me know if you can tell me the right order that you would recommend for your products, by dealing with havy metal toxification, and leaky gut symptoms (being sick more or less every month). Thank you so much if you find the time to answer to this!! Ursula and Luise Jessi: Hi! Major help needed: Husband has had angry looking acne/rash on face for 6 months maybe longer. He also gets itchy rash on belly and back after eating almost anything. Recently rash appeared on his scrotum. They dissapate but easily come back. Sometimes legs too. Mostly mid section and face. He is 37 yo otherwise healthy but refuses to eliminate some bad foods completely believing in moderation ok. is dairy in moderation ok? Is it food allergy? What can he do now? Danielle: Hi Dr Cabral, Have you heard of having the natural turpentine with sugar remedy for candida? I tried this a few times at the start of 2018 and it’s significantly helped with my bloating. It would be great to hear what you think about this. Thanks for being awesome. I’m a member of IHP and loving it so far. Dani from Australia Anthony: Hi, I am contacting you in regards to my mom’s health issues. My mom has been dealing with the following: low energy, problems sleeping, esophageal reflux, hypertension, moderate mitral regurgitation, severe aortic regurgitation, severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, dysphagia, dyspepsia, stage 4 kidney disease, congestive heart failure - unspecified reason (not due to blockage as she is 5’4 107 lbs), loss of vision in left eye, recent ejection fraction is 25% up from 10%, need heart transplant on LVAD, chronic constipation and left side pain. She also has the following food allergies that she knows of (not necessarily from testing just experience): anything fresh, citrus, apples, bananas, oranges, fresh vegetables, some cooked vegetables, soy protein, nuts, tomatoes, vitamin C, anything green. She believes she can eat the following: chicken, steak, turkey, ground beef, lamb, potatoes, rice, bread, yogurt, milk, beans (create stomach pain), raisins. She was a nurse for almost 20 years but has not been able to work for the previous 4 or 5 years as she has been on disability. Traditional healthcare has been treating this with pharmaceutical medicine treating symptoms but not the underlying cause and has not provided improvement. I would like to help advise her with specific tests and protocols we can potentially use from a functional medicine/ayurvedic/naturopathic approach but with limited funding from her not having a job we were wondering based on the issues above if you have any general recommendations of testing or protocols that can be used to determine the underlying cause and/or create improvement. Thanks Anthony Anonymous: I have an unusual question to ask you today :) Do you know of a natural hangover remedy cure?? I am kind of the health expert in my group of friends and last weekend one of my buddies had a few too many (haha) and he came to me for a natural hangover remedy but I realized I didn’t know if anything but water and rest! I realize that’s probably the best way to get over a hangover but I’m sure there are small shortcuts we can use for a faster recovery.I figured you’d have some science that backing up certain foods or products. Look forward to hearing this one :) Magnus: Sir, I have a question regarding herbal supplements and desensitization to their effects. Will the body become desensitized to the effectiveness of herbal supplements, requiring a cycling method (X number of weeks on and X number of weeks off)? Thank you, Sir. M. Tracy: Hi, First of all thank you for all of your work. You are a true inspiration and I am aspiring to go through your certification in the near future. I have a question relating to mold toxicity. I moved back into my father's house and have been living there since summer 2016. I work with a homeopath who uses an electrodermal screening machine and has repeatedly measured mold toxicity in my body since living there, which we have been treating with homeopathic remedies and lapacho/pau d'arco tea, however I am not able to see her often (every 4-6 months only) as she is located abroad. I am saving up to do your lab testing and am due to do a dr cabral detox soon, but was just wondering what your opinion is on detoxing the mold out of the body whilst still staying in the location that is likely causing the toxicity? I have no doubt that my father's home is mold infested and overall damp, including the room that I stay in, which is likely causing the toxicity. My father is renovating the house himself, but the progess is very slow and although I am definitely looking to move out, financially this is not feasible at the moment. Is there any point in even detoxing when you are constantly re-subjecting yourself to the mold? Or are there maybe preventative measures that can be taken to ward off the worst of the toxicity (e.g. sleeping masks, diffusers, certain supplements etc)? I wake up most mornings feeling groggy and often with a headache. I also suffer from burts of anxiety, which are exacerbated whenever I think about the mold that I am subjecting myself to, seeing as I know a lot about how harmful it is (bit of a vicious cycle). I also suffer from mood swings, including aggressiveness and frustration and often find myself lethargic and scared to face tasks ahead. My digestion is not quite right since taking antibiotics approx. 8 months ago + 2018 has been a very stressful year for me work wise, so the symptoms might not only be mold related, however even on a psychological level it would be good for me to know that there is something that I can do to combat the mold. Also, do you recommend any sort of testing that can be done for homes to check for mold infestation? Seeing as I have become so paranoid about the subject, this would be good to know when moving into a future home. Many thanks in advance!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1128 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1125: How to Prevent Toxins From Swelling Your Fat Stores (WW)

It’s easy to tell people that to lose weight all they need to do is eat fewer calories and move their body more, but if you’ve ever tried this very rarely is that the answer for a great number of people… The reason that this is the case is that losing weight and keeping it off has much more to do with a person’s nervous system state, hormones, toxicity levels, and overall metabolic rate… And on today’s #CabralConcept 1125 I want to take you through how to prevent an increased total toxic load from swelling your fat stores – Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1125 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1122: Performance Enhancing Drugs, Flu Shot, Tired & Wired, Highly Reactive, Hear Heartbeat, Arrhythmias, Wake Up Too Early (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Darrel: Hey, great show. May sound like a silly question but can someone start a performance enhancing drug cycle to get the body enhancement results in short term then start the Dr. Cabral detox to eliminate any potential side effects? Have you done any show listing those specific side effects? Also aside itune reviews is there any other means to show our appreciation? Especially for those who download your episodes and don't use Apple products so don't have access to iTunes. Keep up good work.  Heather: If I am being forced to get a flu shot (for work) how can I best protect myself?  Alan: Wife had organic acid lab run about a year ago. We are learning more via podcast and endocrinologist etc and believe she has adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalance because of it. She has all of the symptoms from podcast #1040. I plan to order the adrenal soothe today. Can she also take the life support at the same time? If so, how should she time it throughout the day? She has also started taking Vayarin plus which is basically phospotytleserine omega 3. Is it ok that the adrenal soothe will add additional PS and L theamine? Thanks so much for your help  Leah: Dear Dr. Cabral, I have had several tests done in the past that have determined that I have the MTHFR gene, C667T mutation. I also have Pyroluria, adrenal fatigue, low levels of Histamine and high levels of S-Adenosyl Homocysteine. I experience Health issues such as fatigue, insomnia, constant brain fog, digestive complications and hormone imbalance (just to name a few) and I find are progressively getting worse. I eat mostly organic, exercise, conscious of chemicals and plastics. I have sought help over the past 10 years using naturopaths, nutritional medicine doctors, acupuncture and Chinese medicine and everyone gives me more supplements, however I constantly have paradoxical reactions to EVERYTHING! Even the tiniest amount of a probiotic will affect me. What are your suggestions for improving my health when I cant seem to tolerate anything that could potentially help me?  Elisha: hello dr. cabral and team - please advise my best course of action to make sure I am covering all important bases and asking all the right Qs in the process - i hear my heartbeat loud and clear only when in bed when going to sleep i hear it and it even gets in the way of my falling asleep and even wakes me up sometimes. i feel like it is more often when i lie on my left side and this has been happening for maybe two-three months. my mother died of heart disease partly related to high blood pressure - dont have the proper name of condition in front of me as i type this but can send to you... i am 48 yo female in most otherwise good health - eat more greens than animal product 90/10 i would say... my body is transitioning in my 48 yo old womanhood but nothing out of the ordinary. what would you recommend my next steps should be re a cardiologist visit (?) and tests - i'm sure i have to havce one/a few- i've done some in the past after my mom passed.... PLEASE respond. I trust you more than most anyone when it comes to my health so want to be prepped on what i need to know ask et al when visiting with doctors and having tests--- im paying out of pocket and dont want to waste time on appointments and tests that are not most necessary. THANK YOU.  Kirstyn: Hi there!Desperate for any advice on how to manage/cure arrhythmia - particularly ectopic heartbeats and SVT.They,and the anxiety they bring,are ruling my life and there has got be a better answer than scary drugs,surgeries that might not work or "learn to live with it".I'm convinced they could often be linked with stomach/GERD issues as this seems to be a trigger.Please help!  Tiffany: hi doctor Cabral! I've tried to find an answer to my weird sleeping problem everywhere, so really hoping you can shine some light on it. I go to sleep every night at 9.30pm, and my alarm is set for 6am. Unfortunately, about 3 months ago I started waking up around 4am, and am unable to fall asleep again.. even though I'm super tired. I don't drink coffee or alcohol, I meditate every day, not really stressed out, and my last meal of the day is always at least 4 hrs before bed time. I also don't use my phone before bed.. Basically nothing has changed from before, when I was able to sleep through until the alarm went off. Do you have any idea what the problem might be?

1121: Low Hormones, Chronic Sinus Issues, Pregnancy Fatigue, Family Advice, Floating Stool, Trouble Swallowing (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Chris: Hi Stephen, Big fan of all the work you do and the free content you provide. I recently had a at home male hormone blood test done as i was suspecting low testosterone. I feel fatigued upon waking despite 8 hours of sleep, no morning erections, fat around the breasts and belly button despite having a fairly lean waist and a inability to build muscle were my main symptoms. My lifestyle is stress free apart from my workouts which i do for 1 hour 3 times per week on my off days from work. I work 4 days at a garden centre which is a physical job. I am on my feet for 7 hours a day and average at around 15000 steps a day on my work days (8000 on my off days). I sleep 8 hours a night and eat 4000 calories a day of whole foods such as oats, sweet potatoes, fruit, veg, rice, yogurt, cheese, whey protein, chicken, beef. My digestion on the whole is pretty good. I do not have kids, single and my job is relatively stress free. Below are my results of the test. The first number is my result and the second set of numbers is the conventional medicine range, not the optimal range. I have left the measurements out as they are different in the UK.Albumin - 35.3/35-50FSH - 1.2/1.5-12.4, LH - 5.7/1.7-8.6, Oestradiol - 151/41-159, Testosterone - 20/8.64 29SHBG - 49/18.3-54.1, Free Testosterone (Calculated) - 0.359/0.2-0.62, Prolactin - 263/86-324 TSH - 1.70/0.27-4.20 (I am on Levothyroxine for low Thyroid), Free T4 - 19.80/12.0-22.0,PSA -0.783/i can do? My hunch is over training as my nutrition, sleep and stress seem to be under control. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks for all your hard work Dr Cabral.  Diane: Hi, What is the best test to run for chronic sinus issues. It’s not too bad but my eyes always look like i have a mild allergy and my nose is always stuffed or needs to be blown. I am dairy free and currently have no pets in the house for the past 3 years. I’m reading the Rain Barrel and love it. Thanks Diane. Lilja: What do you recommend when a women is pregnant and feeling sluggish and tired?  Anali: Hello,My mother has been doing keto for the past year and a half and has become an absolute zealot. Lately she has taken to telling me about how I'm killing myself and my family by feeding them carbs. I'm curious if you have any easy to read information or studies about possible negative sides to doing keto long term. She claims she is feeling the best she ever has in her life, yet complain that the fake sweeteners she uses for cooking give hear an instant headache and that doesn't seem to be enough to convince her that maybe she shouldn't be eating them. Thanks for your time, I love the podcast, especially the episodes focusing on the Ayurvedic systems.  Anali  Frances: I've search through old podcast but haven't found the answer. Besides improper digestion of fat, what can cause floating stool? I've had a 72 hour fecal fat test, and the results came back normal, and my pancreatic enzymes were also normal. Also, I've heard that Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) may lead to constipation, I'm curious if this is true and if there is a way to improve EDS symptoms. Thank you for all the amazing information you provide.  Ricky: Hello,I'm a 30 year old male and have been suffering from achalasia (which I had never heard of until listening to your podcast a few days ago) for a few years. After I choked and required the heimlick the second time 2 years ago, my family urged my to seek treatment. I went to a gastroenterologist and after multiple visits and 2 endoscopies, all I learned was that I likely had gastritis and should take omeprozale for the rest of my life. I've self-learned a lot since then including the potential negative side effects of omeprazole and the benefits of diet. I have since stopped taking any medication and tried more natural treatments such as dgl supplements. I still struggle with my achalasia and after a friend recommended that I listen to your podcast, I felt the urge to seek your guidance for treatment. What are the next steps that I can take? Thanks in advance, Ricky    Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1121 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1119: My Top 10 PNS Recovery Methods to Rejuvenate the Body (TT)

I wouldn't be where I am today without following these methodologies... So much so that I don't even believe anymore that someone can heal at the deepest level possible without incorporating more of these PNS "activities..."

1118: The Highest Omega-3 Fish Sources + Mercury Warnings (WW)

The health industry has been talking about inflammation for many years now and whenever the topic is brought up omega-3’s typically follow up right behind... The reason for this is that the Standard American Diet (SAD) is loaded with Omega-6s which are inflammatory, and quite low in anti-inflammatory Omega-3 sources… At the sake of sounding dramatic, your ratio of Omega-6s to Omega-3s can literally spell life or death and take a decade off your life… Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 1118 to discover the highest fish sources of omega 3s, plus some additional mercury warnings to be aware of – Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1118 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1115: Cold Shots, C-Sections, Sauna Headaches, Hair Loss Lab, Alpha-Stimulator, Old School Dermatologist, Inflamed Joints (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Michel: On podcast episode 977, Dr. Cabral mentioned that when he starts to feel a cold coming he takes many shots throughout the day of a mix of Oregano oil, parsley, turmeric, ginger, cayenne and lemon. Can I get his recipe along with the volume of each ingredient?Thanks!Michel  Renee: Hi from Houston, I have learned so much from your podcast for my entire family!! Thank you for being such a blessing in wellness to us all. I have had 2 C-sections,13-10 years ago, I got scar tissue inside from it,my doctor did not recommend any more children due to how much scar tissue I had. i can still fell tenderness all these years later. I'm pretty fit, I workout 5 days a week and lift moderate. I also participate in IF, do you think that scar tissue could be the reason it is so hard to get rid of this pooch (small) under my belly? any advise will help. Warm Regards  Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have worked with one of your health coaches after the thyroaid/adrenal test and more recently I am wrapping up the protocol from the HTMA and OAT tests. Also, I am continuing to use your daily nutritional support shakes. My question is that I have recently purchased the at home sauna per your recommendation, and I have been experiencing migraines. The only time I ever get migraines are when I am dehydrated which is very seldom. I used the sauna 2 days in a row for about 25m and then by the second day, I experienced a headache that took 2 days to go away with no meds and lots of lemon salt water and coconut water (from an actual coconut). Thinking maybe my hydration was not quite enough, I hydrated well for a couple days before try a shorter session of 20m. I didn’t sweat for very long but the next day I started to experience headaches again. I really want to experience the benefits of sauna. What can I do to prevent the headaches? I am 5’4.5”, 119lb, blood pressure runs about 116/64 or lower and I workout regularly. Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated.  Mariya: Hi, I've been listening to your podcast the last few weeks and have been enjoying it. I really like your approach! I wanted to do some tests with you guys for my hair loss but don't know where to start. I've gone from long thick hair to really thin dry hair in the last year and a half and can't seem to find the reason for that. I have done some blood work and the only thing that was low was my ferritin, which was at 9 out of 33-424 range. I've been supplementing iron and vitamin C for almost 3 months. Noticed an increase in my energy and improvement in my long distance trail runs. No longer have to take naps after work. I am very active. Teach fitness classes, do aerial work and trail run. I'm a 28 year old female. Even though I've been feeling great after taking my iron supplements I'm still losing a crazy amount of hair throughout the day. Do you guys run any tests that could explain the reason for my hair loss? Any suggestions or guidance to your programs would be greatly appreciated!  Tracy: Hi Dr. Cabral, A friend of mine who suffers from anxiety and depression recently sent me information for a device called the Alpha-Stim Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulator. She said it worked wonders for her. https://www.alpha-stim.com/healthcare-professionals/treating-mood-conditions/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3381625/ Since I also struggle with depression and anxiety I'm interested but would like your opinion on it first. Have you had had experience with this modality? What do you think of the science behind it? Is it safe? As always, thank you for all the amazing work that you do. Tracy  Ashanti: Hey Dr. Cabral, that’s has been suffering from really skin for years now. II went to see a dermatologist and they said there wasn’t much they can do beside using cetaphil facial cleanser. After doin little research I’m guessing it could be a hormonal issue/ gut issue. I am currently taking your daily nutritional support shake, adrenal soothe, daily digestive enzymes, and natural calm with melatonin to try to help. Do you have any suggestions on what could be going on? Thanks !  Anthony: I'm suffering from debilitating piriformis induced sciatica. I do NOT have a herniated disc. I have also suffered from tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, planter fasciitis and have had multiple cortisone shots in both shoulders. I have an active job and this is beginning to effect my officer safety. Due to financial reasons, I would like to capitalize on the 10% offer you have right now. I have listened to a few joint pain podcasts and need more guidance. Can you recommend which tests and protocols i need. Thank you.    Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1115 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1114: Nerve Cell Degeneration, Adrenal Products, Blood Work, Daily Vitamin C, Twisty Colon, Complicated Case, Iron Deficiency, Renal Damage (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Luke: Dear Doctor Cabral, Thank you so much for all the advice you share, my wife and I really enjoy your podcast and have benefited greatly from doing the 21 day detox and applying many of your suggestions in our day to day life. I am writing to you because my mother in law has just been diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease, her symptoms are not very severe yet, some cognitive issues, OCD tendencies etc and she physically can’t stay still. She lives by herself and struggles to maintain motivation to keep a balanced diet. Could you please let me know what results your clinic has been able achieve in treating this condition? We would like to keep realistic expectations.Could you also please let us know what tests are recommended for her to take in order of importance, as my mother in law has not been able to work for many years and is on a very tight budget we would really appreciate your efforts to give us the most cost effective, value for money plan of attack. Thanks so much in advance for all your advice, it is much appreciated at this anxious time. Warm regards, Luke  Denise: Hello! I have recently done adrenal and hormones lab testing and wanted to get some advice on what products I can get from the online store to help balance my hormones. I have done fertility treatments for the last 3 years and feel this has impacted my body negatively. I use to have high testosterone and now have low testosterone low estrogen and low progesterone. I also have high LH levels. Cortisol levels on adrenal test were also high. Please advise. Thank you.  Judy: Hello - first, thank you for the work you do. It has been very helpful for me personally. My health practitioner uses Quest labs for my blood/urine tests. Recently, Quest has informed me that I can now order testing direct through Questdirect. Can you please advise if this is lab that you recommend? Thank you in advance. Regards Judy  Cherie: Hello. I know Dr. Cabral says supplements should be taken as you need them and not on a continuous basis. Are the vitamin C and collagen considered supplements, or can they be taken daily, just like the all in one shake and greens powder?  Cara: I've been told by my gastroenterologist during a recent colonoscopy exam that my colon is very twisty and that is why I experience constipation. I never had constipation growing up and I only recently have had constipation in the past couple years so how did my colon get twisted all of a sudden and if it was always that way, then why didn't I experience constipation my whole life? I am a lean 50 year old female who exercises almost every day. I had methane dominant sibo in the past and still do a low-moderate FODMAP diet. I eat plenty of vegetables daily and do a celery juice every morning. What other suggestions do you have and will any untwist my colon and what caused it to get twisted in the first place? Thank you - love the podcast as I am a licensed nutritionist myself.  Jennifer: I don’t know where to begin. I listen to your pod cast from time to time and I’ve got your book- the rain barrel effect. I’ve done your detox- I was able to do 2 weeks this past July. I’m hoping you can help give me some advice. I was born with lots of musculoskeletal abnormalities. Hip dysplasia, cleft pallet, all my joints are messed up, barrel chest and scoliosis. I’ve made a good life for myself. I’m married- have 2 kids. However in February 2016, I woke up one day and couldn’t walk because I had Vertigo so bad. I was given some medicines by my primary Doctor and was told it would go away within a few days. It didn’t- my condition got worse. Within 2 weeks I also started to lose my hearing. Within 2 months I’d lost 100% of my hearing in my right ear and about 90% in my left. I also have tinnitus start with all that and the vertigo turned to a constant daily unsteadiness- weather I’m sitting, standing or laying. My vision twitched with my pulse too sometimes. I’ve seen probably 20-30 doctors over the last 2.5 years. I’ve had numerous MRI, CAT scans, eye exams, blood work, Allergy tests, food sensitivity, tested for Lyme, and everything else under the sun. Everything came back negative or fine. The thing with this hearing loss is it fluctuates, but the vertigo and tinnitus are constant. My hearing can be affected by weather- if it’s raining or snowing. Thank God I’m in Las Vegas, where we don’t get much of either. I have good days and bad days. Some days I can hear water running and other days not. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and hear great – only to have it fade a few hours later. At one point I was told it was allergies and given 5-6 different meds to take. After 4 weeks there wasn’t any change and I got off all that. In years past I’d only have seasonal allergies- more like hay fever just for 2 weeks in the spring. I know stress affects it I can tell. If I’m dehydrated my vertigo and tinnitus get worse. Also when I drive my dizziness is horrible unless my head is against the headrest of the car seat- then it’s completely manageable and I can drive fine. My main ENT Doctor (I’ve seen 6) at 1st said he thought it was autoimmune related because I also have ulcerative colitis- I have for 20 years. He sent me to a rheumatologist- who said for lack of anything else that it was autoimmune inner ear disease. I was put on high doses of steroids and chemo drugs. When I’d do my research & think maybe I had Addison’s, or something else- she’d order the tests for me. I asked her about diet such as the paleo plan. She had no clue what that was. But during that time I switched myself to an autoimmune paleo eating plan. I did that religiously for 6 months and then switched to a more paleo plan. I also used the treadmill every day during the time since I could barely walk unassisted, but with the treadmill I could hold on and walk. My brain has adjusted where I can walk unassisted even with the constant unsteadiness/dizziness. I also weaned myself off all the toxic harmful drugs after 10-12 months. My rheumatologist was good at indulging me. Anyway, only problem though after about 4 months off I had a bad ulcerative flare. I also had Erythema Nodosum on my legs. My body got so use being on steroids and chemo drugs. So I had to go back on a biologic- Simponi in May of 2017. I injected at 1st every 4 weeks… I’m able to space the injections out to about 8 weeks now. I’m weaning myself off these too. I’m probably 80-85% paleo now. But I’m not perfect. I don’t do caffeine, or soda. I avoid processed foods as much as I can. I’ve also done so many holistic treatments through the last 2 years such as acupuncture, cranial sacral massage, essential oils, meditation, CBD oil, I even recently I tried Kambo. We are currently building a house now. I’ve made sure to get options such as water softener and a reverse osmosis, advanced air filters too in an effort to improve my environment. Deep in my heart I KNOW I will figure this out, and I WILL get my hearing and balance back. I’m just trying to figure out what else to try. Have you ever had a patient it similar situation? Do you have any suggestions what I can try or what you think might be the root cause? The only thing different before all this began is I was having work related stress, and we got a puppy (we already had cats & I’ve had dogs before). I’ve done allergy testing- blood and skin pricks, 2 different times each 1 year apart. They all came back that I wasn’t allergic to anything including dogs/dander. And my workplace stress resolved itself. I’m truly at a loss for what else to try. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.  Maureen: Im a 24yo female with major GI issues due to chronic UTI's and the consequential antibiotics taken for them. Im working with a FMD and did the organic acids test and a GI MAP stool test. We found bacterial overgrowth and candida overgrowth (no parasites), extremely low Vitamin C/Asc Acid (1.0 was the result) and high gut inflammation (calprotectin is at 217 ug/g.) My question is, my hair has been falling out tremendously over the last few months, and I'm wondering what you think the cause may be? To note: my ferritin is low at 21ng/ml. Do you think it's because of the low ferritin? Low Ascorbic Acid? Gut Issues? or just all of the above? It's very scary - I've lost at least 60% of my hair. I'm starting a protocol now to fix my gut and everything else, but I would love your take on the hair loss ordeal. He's also having me take Laktoferrin (bovine colostrum) to help with the iron deficiency and gut issues - do you think that will help? I listen to you daily, and am so thankful for what you do. Thanks in advance!  Steph: Hey Dr. Cabral - I was wondering what your take on the Keto diet is? If so, how would you go about it? If not, what carbs are best for optimal health and fat loss? If you have already been over this topic in detail in another podcast which podcast episode was it in? Thanks so much! ~ Fellow New Englander  Nicolas: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for sharing your knwoledge. I've been listening to your podcast for a few months now, and they really got me into Natural healing. I'm really interested in becoming part of your IHP program, but I have a doubt. My father needs to have dialysis every other day due to a chronic renal damage provoqued by years of high blood pressure. I'm trying for him to follow a protocol to attempt to reverse the damage, but the doctors say it's beyond repair. Is there anything to be done to help him recover? Or is this his permanent condition for the rest of his life? Thanks in advance, I really hope you can help me help him.    Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1114 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

While I love to motivate and be motivated myself, if you rely on that as your only source of "get up and go" you're going to eventually fall short...

1108: Glyconutrients, Gut Issues & Brain Fog, Burning Sensation, Inflamed Throat, Bioresonance Therapy, Teething Therapies & Nut Milk (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Sylvia: Hi Dr. Cabral! Lately I've been hearing a lot about glyconutrients. What are your thoughts about them? Have you ever done any research in that field? Thank you! Sylvia  Oliver: Hello my name is Oliver. I am making contact on behalf of our daughter Kiara who is a sophomore at college. Kiara has long been struggling with constipation and related digestive issues. She also had acne for which she took accutane two years ago. This past summer she did a digestive detox type program. But at the end of the summer, in August, she started with an acne like outbreak. Around the same time she started complaining about brain fog. She did take an antibiotic treatment when her outbreak was deemed not to be acne. The outbreak has continued, and so has the brain fog. She has been going to a Healing Center in Boston but the remedies circled around controlling her digestion, with varied success. So it was recommended she contact you for a holistic view of all these issues.  Christine: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been suffering from inflammation, redness, burning sensation, recession, throbbing and bleeding/sensitivity of my gums as well as bone loss in my jaw for the last 2-3 years. I have been to periodontists, dentists, doctors and natural paths with no relief. Info about me: -Vata 5'11" 135 lbs cold hands and feet -Stressed -Had the mirena 1.2 years and just stopped taking oral birth control (Sprintec) -Floaters in my eyes -Hair loss -Hypothyroid Tests: (1) Free T3 (PAN231) Free T3 2.97 pg/mL 2.00-4.40 Tests: (2) Free T4 (PAN14) Free T4 [L] 0.74 ng/dL 0.90-1.70 Tests: (3) TSH (PAN15) TSH 1.40 uIU/mL 0.40-5.00 -Vertical lines in nails -TMJ -I was on a low carb diet for 6 months with no fruit trying to eliminate inflammation with a natural path -I have very good oral hygiene and have listened to all of your podcasts about gums etc. -Exposed to heavy metals at work a few years ago in an mfg environment and burned my lungs. -Went to Mexico and got sick about 2 years ago. The gum burning, recession and bone loss are my main concern but I want to get to the root cause. I have started the detox, got the daily protocol to start after and will be doing the candida overgrowth and heavy metal detox protocols as well. I have also started taking shatavari and am looking into chaste tree berry. What tests do you recommend I take and is there anything else I should be doing? Possible parasite? Hormone imbalance? Not sure what to do. Love your podcast thank you so much for doing what you do. Your podcasts are so informative! -Christine  Joseph:  Just started listening to the podcast, would like to inquire what you think the best option to deal with EOE. Eosinophilic esopaghitis I have had alergy tests and avoid Soy / Glutten / Milk , nothing works. Wondering if it could be parasites, to be honest I'm at a loss and am considering an elemental diet so I don't have to worry anymore.  Chloe: Hi Dr Cabral, me again. Curious about Bioresonance therapy. There is a guy in Perth (Western Australia) that uses frequency work to overcome dis-ease symptoms. I have a friend who claims she got rid of her Candida with this method. It kinda seems to good to be true. I would love to know your thoughts.  Sami: Hi Dr Cabral love your podcasts! I have a few questions related to kiddos and would love more talks on kids in general. My first question is what do you recommend for a teething baby? I’m trying to avoid Tylenol/ib profen but for sleepless nights what’s best? Also- in regards to kids snacks I know fruits/veggies are always best, but when they are around other kids they want what the other kids have or when fruits/veggies aren’t an option what do you suggest? Any dry snacks your kids ate that are still relatively healthy? For snacks, I often have trouble finding GF and organic so if I had to chose one, which is more important? Last question- my daughter has a severe dairy allergy (not intolerance/sensitivity) and I’m looking for a good plant based “milk” for her. What do you suggest? Thanks a million for your help and for sharing your vast wealth of knowledge!  Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1108 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1107: Amalgam Poisoning, IgM vs. IgG, Pet Lab Testing & Supplements, SIBO Shake, Possible Hernia, Neuro Disorder, Avascular Necrosis, Tolerance Induction Program (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Carla: Hello Dr Cabral love your podcast and is an raises health conciousnes on so many levels. Around 9 years ago I removed my amalgam filings just the regular way without a holistic practitioner at that time it was more for aesthetic purposes, I really didn’t know about the dangers, and all the mercury etc . Even the dentist wasn’t aware since he was a conventional doctor. Is there any particular symptoms or any steps to detox that you recommended.  Kyle: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am a veterinarian in Colorado and have been listening ever since you were on with Jay Ferruggia. I really like your approach and have implemented your recommendations/ideas for my own health with much success. I want to be able to use this approach with my patients as a veterinarian but have a hard time finding information on the veterinary side. I have a multi part question. I was reading a book called "canine nutrigenomics: new science of feeding your dog" and while I like a lot of what they say, they did recommend one of the author's tests to check for food sensitivities. They use IgM and claim it is better than IgG. I know you disagree for people. Do you have any thoughts on this. I don't like that fact that its the authors test at the lab she owns. I have heard negative things about other test at this lab. What do you do for your own dog? Do you think we could use functional testing for dogs? Do you think the detoxing and your other philosophies can be applied to dogs? Some things I think are easy and I do for my own dogs such as avoiding plastics, using probiotics, omegas-3's, etc. The more I think about it the more I worry that our "classic" recommendations and traditional training may be making some things worse. Thanks  Rachael: Is the Daily Nutritional Support Shake save on a SIBO diet? Taylor: Hi, I’ve been more of a recent listener. But I love the Cabral Concept! I’ve recently purchased the Rain Barrel Effect and am currently reading that. I’ve been wanting to do more with my life and finding my passion and career and it was almost a sign that Dr. Cabral mentioned his integrative health practitioner certificate or health coach certificate on his show. I was looking for more information on this but didn’t seem to find what I was looking for on the website. Anyway someone could point me in the right direction? Thanks!  Taylor  Leon: Hey Dr. Cabral. Great show. I've been doing the programs in your Man's Guide book and been getting god results. I am 5'6, 154 pounds, and really ripped. The issue I have is on some abdominal exercises like reverse crunches or even on single arm rows I get a sharp pain in lower abs area. It kinda moves and renders me immobile for a while. I stretch it out but it makes me really wary. Is this common or could it be a hernia or something? How do I work around it? Keep up great work  Jessica: Hi there, I have been diagnosed with a vestibular disorder. I am doing vestibular exercises, chiro and seeing a naturopath (whom I love). I have done allergy testing (the acupressure one) and have a lot of snsitivities. I do find eating clean definitely helps a lot and It is better but I still can kick it. I am in Canada and other then my chiro (who is a neuro specialist) there are only western medicine practitioners all of which either say I just live with it or they send me off to the next. Do you or anyone in your team have any advice on another pathway or a practitioner east of Toronto that specializes in vestibular disorders?  Joshua: I’m a long time listener to the Cabral concept and a big fan. I’ve recently been diagnosed with avascular necrosis of the femoral head.im only 32 years old and do not want a total hip replacement. I was wondering if there’s anything I can do naturally to avoid this. Thank you for any advice you can give and for all the knowledge you spread on a daily basis.  Lauren: My daughter is 2.8 and has food allergies to eggs and peanuts. We’re starting a tolerance induction program (TIP), has similarities to OIT but diff. The program is one year to 1.5 years depending on the number of allergens and severity. The doctor that does that program puts the kids on Zyrtec or something of that form, but not Benadryl (masks reactions) for the entire length of the program plus something like Flonase. It’s a low dosage daily.the reason for this is to keep the immmune system calm. We have our first appointment coming up (intake) but haven’t agreed to anything yet. I want my child to be cured of these food allergies (serious we have Epi pens not just sensitivity) but I’m nervous to have her take these medications daily. Food allergies as you know are scary and serious, but I don’t want to hurt her more in the process by taking a medication daily. What would you do if it was your child and how dangerous is this to her organs? Your input on the whole topic is greatly appreciated. I listen to you often and love the information you share.You’re level of knowledge is very motivating!    Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1107 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1103: How to Follow a Low Mold Diet (TWT)

There are two main ways that you can be exposed to mold: One of those ways has to do with food contamination and there being actual invisible mold spores living on the food you consume… The other way is from environmental exposure in damp climates or previous moisture or water exposure in your home/office... The problem is that most of us are unaware that 54% of people living in the US and many parts of Europe are exposed to dangerous levels of mold often on a daily basis… This is why on today’s #CabralConcept 1103 I wanted to share with you some of the common symptoms, toxicities, and lab tests you can run, as well as which foods to avoid if you are trying to cut back on mold exposure and detoxify it from your body – enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1103 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1101: Constant Pain, Psychedelics, Menopause Symptoms, Infantile Spasms, Colonics, Lemons & Tooth Enamel, Night Shift Work, Ataxia (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Lauren: Hi Stephen. Thank you so much for providing such informative and inspirational content on your podcast. Every episode is different and I have learned so much from listening to your podcast over the past year. I've been suffering with lower back pain for a couple of years and have been to numerous experts but no one can figure out what is causing my constant pain. I am 21 years old, fit and healthy, I do not want to be suffering with this pain for the rest of my life! I have a slightly dehydrated disc and bulging disc at the lower part of my spine. The bulging disc is very minor and doesn't seem to be impinging on any nerves. My back lacks the natural curvature of a spine, thus I apparently have something called flat back syndrome. Is there any way I can try to restore my natural curvature at my spine? And if so, will this help with the pain? Thank you, Lauren.  Chloe: Dear Doctor Cabral, I wondered if you had an opinion on psychedelics and the treatment of mental, or any other, illness? Thanks for all you do.  Karen: hi Dr Cabral,  please could you do a full show on menopause and/or what to do if your oestrogen levels are too low (per conventional doctor opinion).  Imran: Hi Dr. Cabral. I know you've spoken about during your childhood your were put on medicine that made your condition worse. My niece was just diagnosed with infantile spasms and the treatment is ACTh. A hormone with more side effects than it seems to be worth. My inquiry is if you have any experience with infants(she's 7months old), and if you have any experience with this? Thanks in advance, Imran   Jessica: Hi Dr. Cabral, I would like to know your opinion on two things please. 1. Colonics- I know you recommend coffee enimas, but I have never really heard your thoughts on gravity colonics. If you recommend them, how often do you think they should be done?  2. MSM organic sulfur crystals - I have read this is good for joints. Do you agree? Thoughts please.  Thank you for your wealth of knowledge,  Jessica  Zack: Do lemons and limes post a threat to our enamel? Even apple cider vinegar has extreme acidity and if not dilluted can erode away enamel, was just wondering about ways to/you mitigate this issue. Lots of info out there, and while I would love good digestive health, I would also love to smile and still have all my teeth :-)  Kirsten: Hello! Would love to hear your thoughts on shift workers. Obviously we all know it is bad for your health but would love some tips and tricks around meal timing, sleep and recovering from night shifts. Also maybe some supplementation that could help support our bodies whilst on night shift. I am a paramedic from Australia, I love my job- also currently doing your IHP course- which I'm loving thank you! My shifts are as follows in case you want a template to base it off.  Day shift 1- 0700-1900  Day shift 2- 0730- 1730  Afternoon shift- 1200-0000  Night shift- 1900-0700  Then 4 days off. We work in an 8 day cycle 4 days on and 4 days off. I know a lot of people working in the health care industry have similar rosters as above. Thank you love everything you do!!! :)  Chris: Dr. Cabral, I just heard you on a podcast recently and was totally blown away! I'm a 39 year old male who worked in the entertainment industry in LA for several years and I'm now going back to school to shift my attention and focus to my newly acquired passion of dietetics and wellness from a plant based perspective. All the things you articulate incredibly well like hormone optimization and diet are right up my alley:) I also live in MA - the south shore - and I'd love to meet with you to pick your brain and possibly set up a consultation regarding my hormone levels as well:) I'm sure you're terribly busy, and as we approach the holiday season, even more so. I just wanted to say hi and tell you that your existence and overall mission is truly inspiring to me and the fact that you're here in Boston is such a pleasant surprise! Happy Holidays to you and yours and stay safe! I hope to hear from you down the road:)  Best,  Chris  Stefanie: Hi Dr. Cabral,  My father in law has ataxia and his mother had it before him, as well as his cousin. It clearly runs in the family. He has a VERY difficult time walking. He recently was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both knees, and has even torn his meniscus and had surgery on one knee. We believe he will be wheel chair bound soon, which just breaks my heart as he is only 63. What recommendations would you offer for someone in this unfortunate situation?

1100: Pregnancy Detox, Traveler’s Diarrhea, Gallbladder Removed, Abdominal Distention, Antibiotic Overload, Rosacea, Childhood Asthma, Genetic Eczema (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Taylor: Hello I found Dr. Cabral by listening to his podcast. I am seven months pregnant and want to be very intentional about getting my body as healthy as possible for the baby while it continues to grow and when I am breast feeding. I just don't know where to start and also what is safe to do while pregnant. Can I do the Dr. Cabral 7 day detox while pregnant? Is that where I should I start or should I just try to focus on healthy eating as much as possible? Or is there a certain lad I should run while pregnant that will benefit me and baby most? Thank you for your time!  Katie:  ast year I got horrible travelers diarrhea and stomach pain while traveling in Peru. Even after the initial symptoms subsided I still suffered with acid reflux for up to a year later. I felt like I was back to normal when I went to Bali and again got travelers diarrhea and stomach issues. Should I run any test to make sure I don’t have some long term gut issues from all this?  Dinos: Hello Doctor Cabral.I am a man 35 years old ,I had a polyp 1cm in my gallblader and I had a surgery removed of gallbalder.i know I made a huge mistake..I am 3 months post op and from first month I have symptoms that I never had before I was asymptomatic. I developed chronic inactive gastritis in one month after surgery before I had a mild simple gastritis no pylori found. I have heartburn after i eat most of the time and sometimes pain in right side.i live a he'll.i have loss of apetite but last 1 week apettite somehow came back.i don't vomit I don't have diarrea but when i eat fried food like crap food my stools are yellowish brown .When I eat lentils for example my stools are brown.I have aches in my joints that I never had.mu blood tests are ok.my ultrasound too.i take gaviscon advanced which is helping me.I want to tell me if that situation is reversable and I can be cured again and live a normal life.I want your help.i am from Greece Athens.I have possible bile acid reflux. thank you very much  Rene: Hi there, I am suffering from severe and constant abdominal distension. I also have what I have been told is contact dermatitis on my right hand and atopic eczema on my arms. My moods tend to fluctuate significantly and I’m easily agitated/anxious. I suffered from bulimia during my teenage years so believe this may have something to do with it? Could you please advise what my first step to getting back to health should be?  Denver: Hello Dr Cabral. I am following you on social media, and have listened to your podcasts for some times now.  When I was 18 I got glandular fever, shingles, and acute tonsilitis (quincy) and had my tonsils removed twice. Over this time I was on A LOT of antibiotics.   I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS and have put on 30+ kilos in the last few years (mostly around my stomach) I really want to lose the weight, but i just cant no matter what I do. I am also constantly tired and suffer with acne and lots of brain fog.  As I am a student (studying naturopathy in Australia) I have been saving up for some time now to purchase some of your products because I believe they really are my best bet.  Do you have any suggestions on what I should purchase, I can't buy much to start with but will keep saving and purchasing as I can. Should I keep saving and purchase the monthly concierge to have these questions answered.  Thankyou, take Care  Kindest regards  Denver  Devon: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have recently been diagnosed with severe rosacea and am avoiding taking the antibiotics prescribed to me. I would prefer to get it under control through lifestyle/diet changes.  I have listened to you for a while, and am wondering- should I do the organic acids test or the food sensitivity test from your website? I know I can get this under control but I need some guidance!  I look forward to hearing from you.  Sabrina: Hi. I just found out that my 5yr old has asthma and the doctor wants her to zyrtec daily, inhaler 2x/week (Qvar 40mg). Do I fill out the application to talk to a health coach or has this been addressed in a podcast that I can listen too. I really don't want my 5yr to start taking medication daily?  What do we do?  Please Advise,  Very Worried Mom  Sabrina  P.S.  I'm a personal trainer and we eat a pretty high plant based diet and she takes multivitamins everyday. So, I'm concerned about her asthma. She doesn't have difficutly breathing. She had a cough that lingered on, so we tookk her to the doctor and this was their diagnosis.  Quynh: Hi Dr. Cabral,  I am asking for help on how to start treating my 2.5 years old son. He currently has eczema that flares up on a normal basis. He was born 4 weeks early, but was at a good weight of 6lbs 10 ounces. He had Jaundice the first 10 days of his life but overcame it himself. At 2 weeks he had his first eczema breakout on his cheek. I breastfed him and started to add goat formula to supplement at 3 months. During the first year of his life he constantly has eczema rash on his face, especially close to the mouth area. After he turned 2 the flareups decreased a lot but it's still on various areas of his body (crease by elbow and knees, ears, and sometimes around the mouth, but not as much as when he was 1 years old) We feed him mostly organic foods, no dairy products, no eggs, and gluten free carbs. After he turned one and was off the goat formula, we made him fresh coconut milk to replace the formula. He does go to a child care outside of the home while we are at work so I can't completely control his diet while he is there. We do instruct the care place to not feed him dairy and eggs but I know he likes to get his hands on candy and snacks. His regular diet consists of green juice, bone broth, pastured raised and grass-fed meats, wild caught seafood. We give him probiotics, vitamin D, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Omega 3, and Cold liver oil daily. We do notice that when the level of mold in the air is high, he will flare up a few days later. During the month June-October he usually get a few stubborn flareups that will last a long time. Steroids creams will maintain it but won't take it away completely. Other than the eczema flareups he is a healthy kid. No vaccines has been given to him since birth. What do you recommend we start with to treat his condition?  A side note: My husband sometimes will get eczema spots around his knees. During the winter he gets it on his arms as well, it will be red then turns white and will stay discolored until winter is over. Could my son's eczema be passed down from his dad? What do you recommend my husband do to treat his condition?  We as a family are eating a clean, organic or beyond organic diet and are taking vitamins to enhance our health. Your time and suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Thanks,  Quynh  Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1100 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1098: Intermittent Fasting vs. Calorie Restriction (Winner Announced) (TT)

A lot of people may not know this about me, but deep down I'm a big-time skeptic when it comes to a lot of research studies... Don't get me wrong, I'm reading the research and science behind them daily, but the fact is that many of them are "paid for" or funded by groups that have an agenda... And other studies have such a small sample size that the data isn't really clinically significant, yet the media makes it out to be this "groundbreaking" study! But, I make sure to never let the bad crowd out some really great studies and I think this initial research (although still small) gave us some insight on how intermittent fasting (IF) stacks up versus continuous daily calorie reduction... Check out today's #CabralConcept 1098 to discover the winner of the debate of whether intermittent fasting is better than calorie reduction for weight loss and overall health - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1098 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1094: Aging Hair Loss, AUS Shipping, Children & Veggies, Thyroid Medication, Reaction to Supplements, Hard Lymph Nodes, Vata Lunch, Tan vs. Wrinkles (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Sue: HI Mr Cabral, I'm in Australia, Im 64 and I love your podcasts. I had a Gastric sleeve 4 years ago and my hair loss is huge I've gone from long hair to short but I'm losing more than Im growing all the time. Im always just exhausted. I suppose its also my age but I cant eat all the food you talk about. I've lost weight which was great but the hair loss isnt. I've tried KETO and I actually put weight on which Im struggling to get rid of. I need your help please.thank you Sue Ed: Hi, I’m looking into getting 3 lab tests done with you but wanted to check a few tgings before purchasing as I’m from Australia. I want the organic acids test, stool test and food sensitivity test. Will this take along time with customs and how much more $ for shipping/tarriff/customs costs? Thanks Ed Virginia: Hi. I have a 2 year old who has trouble digesting raw veg, some fruits and definitely anything with a tough skin (apple, pear, beans, blueberries, raisins etc.). This resulted in 20 months of next to no sleep for our family until we started to work things out. I've almost finished your Rain Barrel Effect and am about to purchase daily nutritional support, daily fruit and veg blend and daily digestive enzyme. I was wondering however how I might get the enzyme into my 2 year old prior to food? Mixed in a little water? Or maybe our homemade almond milk? Do you know of any successful approaches? Many thanks, Virginia Deborah: Hello! Love your podcasts. I’m on a mission to listen to everyone. I was diagnosed with hypothyroid @ 11 years ago. I didn’t know at the time but running a complete panel on myself last year discovered it is actually Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. I had been put on synthesis per protocol of conventional medicine at my diagnosis. Since then I’ve been trying to heal my thyoid, paying attention to Vit/min, healthy organic diet, gluten and dairy-free. I was successful at bringing TSH down and antibodies lower while not medicating. Is there anything I might have missed that would help my condition. I did change Rx to Nature-thyroid. Thoughts on that as well? Thanks for your time. Ursula: Dear doctor cabral and team i heard from you over a close friend. I have been facing health difficulties over the past five years. No doctor in germany or austria was able to really help me till now. After i gave birth to little girl one and a half year ago it got worse and i spent a lot of time in clinics but nothing was found, than an unstable flora of my gut. i know that all problems i have come from my digestive system so i been trying out a LOT of things, some help a little most not and on many things i react very badly, especialy antibiotics. I read and heard (podcast) a lot of the bacteria and candida overgrowth protocol, and though i am short on money i am really willing to give it a another try. But i wanted to ask if you have heard and stories that patient reacted badly to the products? i have to ask cause i often react badly also to vitamins nature products like spirulina, normal supplements like iron, vit c, dolomit, etc, it it feels like my digestive system and my mucous membrane is not able to take more stuff up (doctors often don't believe me) it starts shortly after eating so my stomach must be affected by now as well, but i know feel (i do a lot of yoga and mediation) and know that it started from the gut. As it really is a lot to of money for my young family i have to ask if there is something like the possibility to return the products IF the really don't help. i am also willing to go through with it, if a bit of deterioration is expected. But i need to know what to expect and if you have patient that are not able to digest or to be better with this products. i really really appreciate if you find the time to answer me. all the best and good health to all of you ursula and luise from berlin Bethany: Hello doctor, I’ve been seeing an ENT for four years now regarding a couple issues that remain unsolved. First back in 2014 I realized I had swollen lymph nodes only on the left side of my neck. Imaging revealed I had one three inch lymph node under my muscle, and five smaller hardened ones. Biopsy was done, everything came back negative. They left the three inch one because it was hard to access but they did biopsy it. Everything was okay until a 1 1/2 years ago, I went back to my ent for a separate issue regarding my right ear. After eating certain foods I could hear my blood pressure/pulse through my ear, only on the right side. They tested my hearing wich came back good, did another CT scan everything came back fine with my right ear. They did notice I have another new swollen lymph node on the left side again, they are going to biopsy that in two weeks. Regarding my ear and hearing my pulse through it my doctor said nothing really of it and said it’s fine. I feel like it may happen more when eating more salt but I’m not really sure because it’s hard to narrow down. It does concern me because sometimes the pulsing is stronger and sometimes it is weaker. My background information is 25 year old female, 203 lbs. I do receive annual physicals and blood work comes back normal (BP WNL). I eat a pretty healthy diet and try to work out 2-3 days a week, including rebounding to try to help lymphatic drainage. I do have a lot of environmental allergies including cats and dogs which I have one of each. Any recommendations for either situion? Thank you Kylie: Hi Dr Stephen Cabral, thank you so much for all the info u share! I was just wondering your suggestion for lunch options if wanting to gain weight as I am mainly vata. I spend a lot of time stressing over food as I don't have time to cook something in the morning before I leave so I was just wondering your suggestions as I know it's not great to be reheating food. I have just finished ure CBO protocol also. Thanks for your response :) Darra: Hey Dr Cabral. Great show. Taught me so much. I read your book and observed your recommendations with regard to sunscreen. I am a person of African & Portuguese descent, with a lighter complexion. With regard to getting sunlight for vitamin D, I was wondering how should I go about it for aesthetic purposes to avoid fine lines, nasolabial folds wrinkles etc. Are there techniques or supplements one can use or should you forget that and focus on getting sunlight despite the potential cons?

1093: Invisalign Bacteria, Vata Food, Pregnancy & Detox, Endometriosis Pain, Type 1 Diabetes, Smoothies vs. Soup, Growling Stomach, Vestibular Migraines (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Shelly: Hello Dr. Cabral and Team, I am currently obsessed with the Dr. Cabral Podcast. I plan to purchase a copy of The Rain Barrel Effect soon to gain further insight. I am highly interested in functional foods which led me to Dr. Cabral's Instagram Account, which led me to the Podcast. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto Thyroiditis 18 years ago and decided to go gluten and dairy beginning 01/01/18. I am currently experiencing symptoms of possibly being over medicated and am going in for blood work tomorrow morning per my doctor's request, she responded to my emailed inquiry concerning my symptoms. My ultimate desire is to get off the Levothyroxine. I would love to run a full panel through Dr. Cabral and hope to be able to do so in the future, at this time I do not have the finances available to do so. Aside from the Hashimoto, I was curious to know if Dr. Cabral had toxicity concerns regarding Invisalign treatment used to straighten teeth rather than traditional braces. I am currently 2.5 months into the projects 14 month treatment. Best Regards, Shelley Kylie: Hi Dr Stephen Cabral, just want to start off by saying thank you so much for all the information you share every week, I have learnt so much & it has helped me so much in my healing journey. Just a few questions that I would appreciate so much for you to answer - 1. What is a great make the day before lunch that you would suggest for a predominantly vata constitute? I also live in a tropical warm climate in Queensland, Australia & it's currently about to come into summer here. 2. Do you eat red meat? If not, how do you make sure you get enough iron? 3. What are your thoughts on eating brown rice? 4. What are your thoughts on resistant starch? ie. Cooked & cooled rice or potatoes? Thank you so much for taking to the time to answer these questions for me :) Kelsey: In regards to being pregnant — are all of the detoxes off limit ? Or maybe a better question is what products would be recommended for pregnancy? Kristin: Do you have any advice or guidance on how to alleviate pain cause by endometriosis? I have had surgeries but the symptoms have come back and are painful again. Are there any alternative options to alleviate pain Danielle: Hi, I am very interested in the intuitive health practitioner course however I have been unable to find anywhere what organisation or university the course is recognised/registered under. I am concerned that I won't be able to safely practice in Australia unless it is recognised. Thank you for your help, Danielle Lauren: My friend's 5 year old son was diagnosed in September with diabetes type 1. He has to be given 4 injections of insulin daily. Which lab tests would you recommend he do? Susanne: Hi! Can I drink soup (made of bone broth and vegetables) every morning instead of a smoothie on the CBO protocol ? Carlos: Hello, I am done with the CBO protocol but still feel loud, persistent stomach growling throughout the day more so when I lay down. I assume it bowel movements but they’re so loud they keep me from sleeping at time. Any recommendations? Thank you Melissa: Hi i have been suffering with vestibular migraines & inflammation. I'm from Australia & am 38 yrs old. I eat really healthy and would love to get some tests done   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1093 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1090: Case Study: Low Mood - Low Energy - Low Libido - Low Everything! (WW)

When looking at someone’s labs it’s important to not go overboard in any one direction... Don’t get me wrong, running Functional Medicine Lab Work beyond your annual blood work is crucial, but we can’t go by just the “numbers” alone... What’s equally important is the patient or client’s story of how they got here and what they’re suffering with now...

1089: Top 10 Reasons Why the Carnivore Diet Is Disastrous for Your Long-Term Health (TWT)

There’s no doubt that people are experiencing a lessening of digestive, inflammation, and pain based symptoms while on the “Carnivore Diet...” The problem is that health is NOT the absence of disease and every time we forget this it leads to long-term consequences... And these consequences are typically much worse than the original symptoms that were suppressed during the band-aid approach of removing an entire macronutrient (versus rebalancing the true underlying root causes of your dis-ease)... Today, on #CabralConcept 1089 I provide an unbiased overview of the top 10 reasons why the carnivore diet is disastrous for your long-term health and if you do use it how to do it in the safest way possible - Enjoy the show! - - -   Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1089 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1087: Candida Supplement Substitutions, Reflex & Heartburn Labs, Hemp Alternative, Infertility Labs, Insomnia Guilt, Crohn's Sufferer (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Alysia: I currently have candida overgrowth. I fit all of the symptoms for it and it seems to be getting worse. I have started a candida diet, meaning I have taken away most carbs other than some vegetables. I have been feeling much better but I fear that this is not enough to help with the overgrowth. I still feel many of the symptoms. I was thinking about getting the Candida Overgrowth supplement protocol. I did my research and tried to figure out what was in your supplements. I have an allergy to flowers (pretty anything with pollen and some root plants like Ginseng). I am a Naturopathic medical student and I cant even enjoy the pleasure of trying homeopathy or drinking most teas. I noticed that your supplements provided have ingredients that I know I would have an allergic reaction to. In that case, what would you recommend I do?  Nikki: Hello My partner suffers from severe reflux and heartburn, over the past 2-3 months he has also had flu like symptoms and has been advised that he may have problems with his thyroid. He has also figured out that he is Gluten intolerant. It is hard to know which tests he should take. It would be good to get an overview of everything. Can you advise what test would be best for him?  Lisa: I recently completed a IgG food sensitivity test. Pea and Rice were reactive foods. I am curious to know what this means for the continued use of my DNS. Thank you for your time!  Renee: I just listened to episode 516, as i'm trying to the get to the bottom of my hormone problems. I am 34, secondary infertility (got pregnant easily, had c-section for breech, healthy birth, been trying for baby #2 for 6 years), since having my first baby i found out i have endometriosis & had some scar tissue (had 2 laparoscopy's, right tube removed but both ovaries OK and 1 tube in good standing), as well as hasimoto's (1.11 TSH, but T.P Antibodies of 22) for which i'm taking the lowest dose of Synthroid, I suffer from migraines- mostly hormonal migraines during ovulation and my period, and I often get LUF's so now we're focusing on egg health even though most testing ive had done shows healthy follicles/eggs. All other hormones and thyroid results come back within functional ranges. I am working to eliminate toxins, and don't eat gluten, dairy, processed foods, sugar, caffeine, and eat mostly Paleo and organic. The podcast explains estrogen dominance- where Progesterone is low, cortisol is high, and dhea can be lowered in time. I don't really have the symptoms of estrogen dominance, and my progesterone always comes back fairly high (30-50 during peak +7 or day 21ish), estradiol normal, cortisol normal, and DHEA is really high usually around 290-300. So it's almost the opposite of estrogen dominance, so what would that be considered- what could be driving those kind of numbers?  I am working with a functional medicine doctor, working on gut health, hormone balancing, stress reduction (yoga, acupuncture, mindfulness), and getting acupuncture- and most symptoms I had before are gone but I still really struggle with the migraines and obviously i'm not pregnant even though i'm still trying. What could I be missing? Thanks in advance for your help!  Emerald: Hi Dr Cabral, I heard your podcast episode with Melisa Ambrosini about pre and post natal. I exclusively breast fed for the first 6 months and then introduced formula during the day when I went back to work. My post partum anxiety didn’t kick in until 3 months after, when my daughter was around 9 month old. I continued to breast feed until 21 months but felt an enormous amount of guilt around using formula. I’ve seen a psych and since August been having irregular sleep and insomnia. Some days are better than others. When I listened to the podcast yesterday I felt an enormous amount of guilt that I used formula from 6 months onwards. Do you think my insomnia is related to this past issue or could it be something else? Best, emerald  Luisa: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm from Melbourne, Australia and I want to ask about my fiance. He was diagnosed in 2009 with Crohns Disease from a biopsy, medication and steroids helped him for 5 years. Then started going down hill again flare ups, hospital visits with morphene, endone etc, started a bio-med called 'Humira' injections in the belly button area fortnightly. Still pain and flare ups on and off. In 2016 had surgery to remove 20cm small intestine and 15cm large and they found fistulas when they went in. Had ostomy bag for 9 months then it was reversed thankfully in July 2017. He had IGG testing and cut out gluten/dairy as dairy affected him badly. He's been seeing a naturopath and taking some zinc and magnesium etc but I feel he needs more. His gut isn't at optimal level and it frustrates me that no one has looked deeper into whats happening inside. Are you able to guide what might help him? He gets colds often, always coughing with a chesty cough, allergies (sneezing, red eyes, runny nose, blocked nose, fatigue, run down, pale, lethargic. The list goes on. I love him to bits and just want to help him feel his absolute best but didn't know what to do that wouldn't affect the Crohns disease or set anything off. (he is still on Humira injections fortnightly- immune suppressant) I would love some guidance on how to help his energy, life and gut bugs. I'm currently reading Rain Barrel Effect and LOVE it!

1086: Apples, Graduate Certifications, Seed Cycling Length, Firefighter Toxicity, Failed Meal, Medication Overload, Natural Shaving Cream (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Meghan: Hi Dr. Cabral- I love listening to your podcasts while I work out, especially the recent ones on Ayurveda. They keep me motivated and excited to make healthy choices throughout my week. I recently enjoyed your podcast on the 7 foods you eat daily and can't live without. Your discussions on food have helped me fine tune my diet (like eating oats and berries more frequently!). In your podcast you mentioned that you'd like to hear if there was something your listeners eat on a regular basis and can't live without. I eat a granny smith apple almost everyday. I'm prone to constipation so it's really important that I get the right type and amount of fiber everyday. I don't know what it is about an apple but it truly does keep the doctor away for me! That along with plenty of water of course. I'm curious to know your thoughts on that since I haven't heard you talk much about the benefits of apples (I recently started listening within the last few months). Is it merely the fiber content or something else too? Or maybe I just found something that works well for my body!  Misty: Hello! I’ve been listening to Stephen Cabral’s podcasts and I applied in October to go to school for integrative health but I’m nervous that the school is so new that I may not get the education I need. I am a registered nurse with a background in Intensive Care and post recovery from surgical procedures. I ultimately want to own my own health “center” with nutrition classes (for profit & community volunteer education for the less affluent), include a “fast food” section for healthy dieters, exercise center (local teachers for yoga/weight lifting/etc), and a homeopathy shop with local vendor items and aromatherapy.  I am, as of now, going to Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) for the Masters in Nutrition and Integrative Health. Do you or Stephen know of this school? It’s regionally accredited but I want to make sure I am getting what I pay for, it’s pretty expensive. They over post graduate certifications in aromatherapy, Chinese medicine, and yoga which I intend to obtain when I’m done. Please help! I need some advice. Sincerely, Misty  Andrea: Hello! quick question! I started the SEED CYCLING that Dr. Cabral mentioned and advised. I was wondering how long I could expect to do the cycling before seeing changes in my menstrual cycle...? I know it depends on the person and that there are too many variables to conclude as to when any one woman will see its effects- but I am a 26yr old female, 130lbs, very healthy other than having no menstrual period for 2yrs. I have done the cycling for one month thus far and will continue it indefinitely. Any answers would be helpful! I'm grateful for your all!!!! Thank you in advance, Andrea  Darrow: Hey. I am a firefighter working shifts day and night. I am reading your "A Man's Guide To Muscle and Strength". Great book. I am a vata pitta body type, more vata. Was wondering how I should go about training given my work schedule. Sometimes we have major calls that calls for hours of strenuous work in smoke filled environments. Or nights where we're out working. Should I still try to train on those days or count that as a strength day. I've friends I train with in the construction industry who are working hard everyday who have similar concerns. Keep up good work. Also what do you recommend if one has been briefly exposed to smoke inhalation. What immediate measures he can do to minimise any potential damage? Thank you.  Halle: Hi! Was just looking to see if there was a podcast from you guys about acid reflux and natural ways to diminish the symptoms. Thanks!  Tyffany: I'm on day 7 of the 21-day Detox and had a failed lunch. I am in the military and had only dining hall fare to choose from. Will picking up right where I left off be ok or do I need to do something special to start over?  Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’m scheduled to have double jaw surgery (4-6 hours procedure) at the end of February 2019. I’ll have finished your CBO protocol by the end of January 2019 and will do your CBO Finisher Heal & Seal for one month before my surgery. I have some questions. 1. What would you recommend I do before my surgery in order to prepare I am ready? Any supplements I should be taking or natural remedies? I’ll be on your CBO Finisher but is there anything else I should incorporate?  2. For this surgery, I will be prescribed a lot of medication. I have to use an anti-nausea patch and Zofran (anti-nausea medication) before/during surgery. Afterwards, I know FOR SURE I will have to take antibiotics, nasal sprays (like Afrin, Simple Saline Spray, Decongestion Spray) and then possibly Oxycodone, Ibuprofen, Prescription Joint Medication, Mucinex, Tylenol, and Benadryl. As you can see a lot of medication! What do you recommend I do after surgery so that I can make sure my gut isn’t completely ruined after going through your whole CBO protocol? What supplements of yours do you recommend?  3. Any supplements/natural remedies you also recommend after surgery to help heal or to help with pain? I want to try and use as little medication as possible, but I just don’t know how bad I’m going to feel after.  Just so you know, I’ll have to be on an all liquid diet for 10 weeks after surgery! Thanks so much for all you do! Really appreciate it!  Darrel: Hey Dr. Cabral. I am of African descent and have to shave my face regularly. I do so using a depilatory shaving powder called SoftSheen-Carson Magic. Listening your podcasts and reading Rain Barrel Effect has me wondering whether there are any major toxic drawbacks from using it. Searches on EWG website proved futile. If it is negative can you suggest alternative options. I cannot use razors because they cause ingrown hairs. Thank you, keep up great work.

1083: The Main Factors That Affect Thyroid Malfunction (WW)

One of the top health issues we see in my Integrative Health Practice is sub-optimal thyroid function (typically low thyroid)... Much of the time this goes un-diagnosed, but people are walking around with the symptoms of a weakened thyroid that manifest themselves as: Low energy Low mood Low vitality Thinning hair/skin/eyebrows Weight gain Sluggishness Brain fog Poor circulation and much more... The good news is that all of these issues can be overcome and you can begin to heal your thyroid as long as you know the toxicities and deficiencies you may be dealing with...

1080: Amalgam Removal Process, Green/Yellowish Mucous, Bile Reflux, Staff Smoothies, Join the Community (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Dayna: Hello, I am having my amalgam fillings removed in two weeks and was wondering if you have any advice on how to prepare my body for the procedure...thank you  Daniel: Hey, I am 25 and have been listening to your podcast ever since I heard you on Mind Pump and I am very intrigued by what you have to talk about. For the last few months I have had a really dry nose and it is tender to the touch. I usually wake up to hard boogers that are green/yellowish and I will usually have them throughout the day. I wanted to see what your thoughts were and if you had any remedies for this. I also have symptoms of brain fog, but sometimes my thoughts turn dark and it feels like I don't have control over them. This frightens me but I don't have good enough insurance to get it checked out and don't want to be put on medication if there are other alternatives. I did encounter a very serious concussion about a year ago ( I played football and lacrosse growing up so I have dealt with them before but this one was definitely the more serious of them, with the greatest symptoms) so I am not sure if this is playing a role in all of this as well. I look forward to hearing back from you! Thank you!  Makayla: Hello there! I have been suffering with bile reflux since March. I have a lengthy history and I'm pretty sure I know what got me into this mess, but I'm so unsure what to do to get me out of it. I'm in a sufferable amount of pain and discomfort daily. I'm unable to eat most foods, my GI doctors have done absolutely nothing to help me. They want to remove my gallbladder and said that even then there's a 50/50 chance my pain will resolve. So, I remove an organ and hope for the best with the odds of a coin flip? I need help. Insight. Anything! My stomach and esophagus are becoming severely damaged. And its a total MYSTERY to every doctor I've been to. Please help me.  Tinishia: Hello I just started listening to Stephens podcast and was wondering if you could help me find out which podcast he talks about why breakfast smoothies are important for your health. He stated in the 999 that his whole staff drinks smoothies every morning and I just wanted to learn the science behind it. Thank you in advance.  Tinishia  Riannan: How do I join your FB group so I can interact?  I’m only seeing how to follow but I thought I’ve heard a group mentioned on your podcasts. Thx!  Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1080 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1079: Behcet Disease, Pitta-Vata Body, Safe Dinnerware, Yeast & UTIs, Protocol Lengths, CBO Approved Beverages, Keto/Carni Diets (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Roshana: Lily is 21 years old college student. She has always been a healthy child and teenager until last spring an ulcer like breakouts in her mouth and genital area, which continued with sores in eye lids ( similar to a chalazion case). After seeing rheumatologist , dermatologists and running all conventional medical test they are suspecting an autoimmune system decease named " Behcet". They are treating her with Steroid based medications. But even that doesn't keep the the flare outs away. I would love her be seen by dr. Cabral.  Roshana  Brittani: Hi there,  Just listening to podcast number 922 at the moment and logged on to view the body type images. For the women, however, I've noticed that pitta-vata isn't pictured, there's one for the men though. I do know this is my type so was hoping for a visual :).  Not that I'm a pro in typing, but in terms of body shape and structure - would Julianne Hough be considered a pitta-vata?  Thanks for your thoughts on this!  Steve: Hello - I have been researching clean and safe dinnerware options lately as I would really like to make the switch to a cleaner option. I have found many endorsements for stainless steel (food grade 304 18/10 or 18/8) but have also found equal warnings regarding chromium & nickel leaching. Can you speak into whether stainless steel is a safe option or not? Thanks, Steve  Breanna: Hello! I had a quick question in regards to the Candida and bacterial overgrowth protocol. I know it helps with chronic yeast infections (yeast) but does it also help with chronic UTIs (E Coli)?  Rachelle: Hi, I started the heavy metal detox this past Saturday and I know it’s a six week protocol. I’m unsure if the products I purchased from equilibrium nutrition will last six weeks with the amount Dr. Cabral recommends I take. Should I purchase another set of supplements for the heavy metal detox? And also, some people take six months to detox heavy metals. Should I be doing this longer than six weeks? I want to ensure maximum benefit for my efforts. I just had my breast implants removed almost 8 weeks ago and I’m looking to completely cleanse my body as they really did a number to my hormones and health. Thank you!  Katie: Hi-  I just started my CBO Protocol Monday. Can I drink Herbal teas and coffee with almond milk?  Also can you send me a link to some CBO recipes? I am part of the detox facebook group but struggling to find some inspiration for yummy CBO approved recipes that arent just a pile of veggies:) I am so excited for this journey!!!! Thank you! -Katie  Anonymous:  Hi Doc! Thanks for your podcast and all you do, changing lives.  Do the world a favor and explain why the Keto diet and the carnivore diet are not suitable long term diets. I’ve had so many peolple debate with me on how great they feel and how it’s healed all their medical ailments that I’ve even started to doubt my own belief on what the base of all diets should be (mostly veggies and moderate protein/fat). I’m constantly doing research to find the best diet for my family and I keep seeing more anecdotes and stories from people have tremendous success with Keto/carni for all around health.  I think the world needs clarification on this and I know you are not bias towards any specific diet so your perception is greatly needed in the health community at the moment to clear things up for us normal folks who want the best for our people.  Could you explain in depth/scientifically why we should avoid these diets except for unique medical cases? Maybe this deserves its own podcast :) :) :)  Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!

1076: Safe Carbs: Starchy vs Non-Starchy Vegetables (WW)

With so much talk about carbohydrates lately it's almost unimaginable of me to be recommending them, but I'll do my best to share with you another side of the equation ; ) Today, I'd like to explain the different types of carbohydrates and which ones will have a greater effect on the blood sugar, calorie intake, serotonin production, cortisol dampening, and your weight loss/gain efforts...

1075: The 5 Vitamins Everyone Should Take? (TWT)

I was reading through some articles last week and came across an interesting one where both MDs and NDs teamed up to share the nutritional supplements they believed EVERYONE should be using... Surprisingly, these doctors all agreed on which ones most people should be using on a daily basis... Why did they so readily agree? As a Functional Medicine Doctor or Integrative Health Practitioner, you will read thousands of labs in your practice every year, which will highlight the most common deficiencies - This makes it easy to know what 9 out of 10 people are always short on...

1074: The Nocebo Effect: Are You a Victim? (MM)

Do you ever feel that you should be further along in your life or progress than you currently are right now? If so, you're not alone and there are a few proven factors that can stall people from reaching their potential and living their best life... One of those is the opposite of the Placebo Effect and actually neutralizes much of the goal setting and progress you are trying to make... The good news is that you can overcome this hurdle once you become fully aware of how it is sabotaging your goals and results...

1073: Acid Blockers, Holding Onto Fat, Epilepsy, Perioral Dermatitis, Ringworm, Miscarriages, New Zealand Shipping (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Caris: Hi Dr Carbral, Firstly, thank you for so openly sharing your wealth of knowledge to all of us- I'm so grateful to be learning from you all the way from Australia.  My question is in relation to my Dad's health. He is 61 years of age and has suffered from reflux since he was in his 20's, and subsequently, has been on a the highest dose of Nexium (40 mg/day Esomeprazole) for 30+ years. For the past ~10 years he has also been having surgery every 6 months to remove between 10-20 gastric polyps at a time. His gastroenterologist has also said his stomach lining is chronically inflamed. I have been doing a lot of research on this and believe the polyps may be as a result of the Nexium suppressing his stomach acid for so many years. He has also had high cholesterol since his twenties (requiring long-term statins), has chronic back pain and recently, low iron.  His doctors have said that it is better to stay on the Nexium and deal with recurring gastric polyps, than to risk developing oesophageal cancer as a result of his reflux.  He eats a very healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables and rarely has junk foods, although he does drink socially a 1-2 times per week. I fear that his low stomach acid means he isn't absorbing enough nutrition from food, and I am greatly concerned for his health and the damage that chronic medication-use has caused. I am desperately seeking your advice of what direction we can take to improve his health - we will do anything!! Thank you so kindly in advance.  Caris  Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for everything you do! I have listened to all podcasts back to episode 800.  I am 5'3 and 163 pounds. I have always struggled to get back down to where I think I should be at 135 in a balanced approach. About 5 years ago, I trained for a bodybuilding competition, and since then have felt like no matter what I do, I can't lose weight.  Last year, I worked with a local FM doctor, and was able to finally feel like I was making progress. The problem is he had me play around with intermittent fasting. At that point, I stayed at around 155, and felt like my health was finally in my control. Then I tried taking fasting to the next level. I fasted until lunchtime everyday for the past three months. I have listened to your thoughts on this, and stopped. But now what do I do? I bought your thyroid support and now only fast 12 hours daily (8pm-8am), and I do your daily protocol (greens and daily nutritional shake) but I still feel so stuck. I feel like my body just wants to hold on to all the fat. I keep telling myself it is not broken, It is doing what its natural response is to going without food. But how do I get out of this cycle? Logically I feel like I need to eat more often so my body knows it has food, but that goes against what I have been learning about space between meals.  Valeria: Hi dr.cabral!  So iv had epilepsy (complex partial) for 14 years now (if ur hearing this in 2019 it's 15 years) so since I was 7. After listening to a lot of ayervedic and balance dosha podcasts iv grown curious as to trying ayervedic medicine to rid my seizures for good without undergoing risky surgery which would impact 20% of my verbal memory. It'd be great for you to give me advice as to what I should do. Thanks  Paul: Hello, My name is Paul and I’m an 18 year old male. Lately I’ve struggled with acne, primarily Perioral Dermatitis, and took an antibiotic to cure it. It worked very well but now I’m worried and believe I have Leaky Gut. I’ve read and listened to many podcasts and hear bone broth is great for curing this. I also have had you and your team suggest an organic acids test and food sensitivity but I cannot afford those right now. Do you suggest I try bone broth and if so, how often should I consume it. Also, any other suggestions?  Thanks,  Paul   Ryan: Hi Dr. Cabral, I discovered you through listening to Ben Pak and MindPump and love your podcast as well. I have noticed two itchy bumps on two different spots on my scalp. I thought they were pimples at first but the just wouldn't go away. I went to see my doctor and he prescribed me an antifungal topical cream to put on and then a special shampoo. I found all they did was suppress the bumps and they would just move to a different spot on my scalp. My haircut barber said it might be from not washing my hats regularly and that it might be ringworm on my scalp. He said I need to ask for antifungal pills to kill the infections not just topical creams or shampoos. Can you please give me any recommendations that will help me fix this and not just give me temporary relief or suppressants? Are antifungal pills going to give me long term complications? Are more natural solutions that I've seen online like garlic, tumeric, coconut oil, or aloe vera just going to suppress or give temporary relief, not actually fix the issue? Thank you very much! - Ryan Lisa: I am 39 years old and have two children, but over the last 3 years, I've had two miscarriages at 10 weeks. I am currently doing the seed cycling and have seen good results so far. What tests do you suggest starting with in order to figure out what's happening? I can't afford all the tests at this point, so where should I start?  Jane: Hi there, I was just wanting to enquire as to how to get your Detox shipped to New Zealand!

1072: Colitis, IBS, SIBO, Calorie Deprived, Flatulence, Pizza & Donut Diet, Gassy Supplements, Gut Issues (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Nancy: Not sure how to join your facebook page;I believe I have developed food sensitivity and IBS or colitis after taking antibiotics a couple of times a year for a variety of problems. I think this summer put me over the edge with 2 rounds of antibiotics, most recently Augmentin. My elimination has not been the same since. I also developed swelling of the lips after going vegan and think I can say it is from a peanut butter powder / peanuts I was using. I have never had these problems like this before-my rainbarrel is definitely full.I am not certain where to begin, but I know my digestive system is Way Way off. Was also diagnosed last year on colonoscopy with diverticula for the first time ever. I was quite surprised about that. I am 64 and have always watched my diet.Do I need to start with the gut rebuilding products? I have been listening to your podcasts. I need a little guidance on where to start here and what products to get. Thanks. Nancy Isaac: Hi I have IBS maybe SIBO and also some anxiety/nervous system type of issues I want to get tested for. Im in the health field and dont feel like I need a coach or someone to meet with on a regular basis. Im wondering if its a good option to just get a test for each of these things and then I saw they come with a 30 min coaching session. Would this provide me with supplement/diet recommendations based on the tests? Would this be a good route if I not wanting the coaching on a regular basis? Kristy: Hello, I was just wondering if you ship to New Zealand at all? Many thanks! Tijana: Hi Stephen Cabral's support team!I am 19 years old and I am suffering from hypothalamic amenorrhea. I have not had a regular period in around 3 years. I have maybe had 1-3 over the 3 years but for the past year I have not had a single one. I am aware that I am suppose to exercise less and eat more in order to get my period back as well as reduce stress (mental and physical). Which is very hard for me as I love going to the gym and pushing myself. I have not been able to lose any weight even though I am exercising lots and eating a relatively healthy lower calorie diet. I am at the heaviest I've ever been in my life weighing 145lbs and I am 5 foot 7. I also have extreme cellulite. I have a decent amount of muscle on me which makes me question why I have so much cellulite (never suffered from cellulite before). One last thing to mention is I am extremely constipated, I never ever have regular bowel movements, maybe 2 times a week if I am lucky. I have been following your team for a while now and just wondering what is the best way to go about my situation. Please help. I live in Canada and I am able to run any blood test for free. Am I able to send your team my blood test results?Thanks,Tijana Josh: Hi Stephen,I have recently discovered your Podcast on iTunes and find it really interesting and insightful, I love it. Your listener questions are great and have prompted my email. I’m hoping you can give me some advice, particularly in relation to my digestive gut health and cystic acne. Brief background about me; I’m a 26 year old male, who lives an active lifestyle – I play Rugby League and resistance train 5 trains a week. My diet is ‘clean’ and balanced. I work as an Architect and as a result, I’m sedentary most of the day - 7.30am until 6pm. Then, I will go the gym after work and rugby train 2x a week, after the gym. Onto my issues, trying to be brief, I appreciate your time is valuable; - I started getting cystic acne roughly around the age of 15 years old. - I went to my local General Practitioner at the time, who put me on a repeat course of antibiotics Lymecycline 408mg. At the time, the antibiotics worked periodically and provided some relief.- Now I believe this is part of my current problem… I still take these antibiotics (although, I have started a regime to slowly come off of them, as I describe below – I’m scared to come off of them in one hit, due to the amount of time I’ve been taking them). - Over the years, my cystic acne has been terrible, then good, then back to terrible. I have visited my GP on numerous occasions, who have either switched the antibiotics I have been taking or provided a topical treatment, as well as, the oral antibiotic. - Again, this has worked on and off for many years. But never actually completely stopped the cystic acne. - After many hours of research over the years, I’m now aware that the antibiotic’s I have been taking are more of a prevention than a cure; and have likely been making my general health worse! (I did broach this with my GP, however they dismissed it). - I battled with the above regime for years and years. Getting huge cystic acne spots, having a period of no acne, then the acne resurfacing. - For at least 6-8 years to present day, I have tried to exclude dairy and bread as practicable as possible; doing this seemingly had little or no effect, as the cystic acne hasn’t budged. Bringing us back to 2018; - Around March 2018, my friends and I booked a summer holiday, I found this as an opportunity to get in to great shape; I was in the best shape of my life (my physique has always been relatively good, but I have never pushed myself and tried to get low body fat). - From March to June, my diet was very ‘clean’ contained lots of vegetables and few carbohydrates. - During the same period, the supplements I were taking consisted of the following – Zinc, Magnesium, 2 tbsp’s of ACV per day, Calcium, Vitamin A, Vitamin D3, Burdock Root and Probiotics. - I found over that time period that my cystic acne flare ups, were very rare. Any spots I did get where minimal, I certainly wouldn’t call them cystic – more small white heads. - I felt great, I got into the best shape of my life and finally after 10+ years my acne was seemingly going. My confidence was at an all-time high and I was loving my life. - I put my reduction of cystic acne down to my diet, active lifestyle and supplementation routine. Note; I was still taking the prescribed antibiotics during this period. Late July to early October 2018; - During a rugby match in July I suffered a complete tear of my distal bicep tendon, requiring surgery. - I had surgery on the 6th August, going under general anaesthetic. - As a result of my surgery, my activity levels reduced dramatically – walking was the only form of activity, were I would walk up to 20,000 steps a day. - My diet was largely the same as the previous, however I started getting my meals made and buying them from a company. - The only differences between my diet and supplementation between pre-surgery and post-surgery were; - Stopped taking Probiotics - Stopped taking Burdock Root - Increased carbohydrates and reduction of vegetables, eaten with my lunch time meal - However, my cystic acne was back as worse as ever and has been present ever since. - I couldn’t put my finger on why my acne was back, so I started doing lots of research, listening to Podcast’s (how I found ATP LAB!). - I come across one Podcast that suggested acne, specifically cystic acne is caused by underlying Streptococcus - SIBO overgrowth, in the gut, which can be caused by the frequent use of antibiotics! - This rang true with me, I had severe tonsillitis as a child, which resulted in me having them removed. I understand tonsillitis / strep throat is caused by group A streptococcus, the same bacteria which the Podcast stated causes cystic acne. - Perhaps, I never fully treated / removed the by group A streptococcus bacteria as a child, which results in my cystic acne; my diet / supplement change post-surgery and the reduction in vegetables, increased carbohydrates and no probiotics allowed the overgrowth of this bacteria? - The overgrowth could also be attributed to the antibiotics, general anaesthetic used during the time of my surgery? - Whether the streptococcus theory is factual or not, I do believe that the bacteria in my gut, is very poor, particularly since surgery – but largely due to the 10+ years of taking antibiotics; which again, could cause my cystic acne. Present day from 10th October 2018; - Listening to your Podcast on acne and the streptococcus Podcast on acne, changed my mindset completely. As a result, I have changed my diet and supplementation routine. - I have tried my best to incorporate as many of the strep killing foods / vitamins and minerals into my diet as possible. By no coincidence, these strongly match the foods / vitamins and minerals, many experts suggest consuming to prevent cystic acne. - Present day diet from 10th October 2018, largely reflects that post-surgery. Lots of vegetables, typical day; Breakfast: 4 whole eggs, cooked with coconut oil. Lunch: 200g chicken breast Large servings of broccoli, cauliflower, red & white cabbage ‘Stir-fry’ of spinach, kale, onions, asparagus Mixed with turmeric, ginger, garlic granules. Dinner: 200 – 300g chicken breast Large servings of broccoli, cauliflower, red & white cabbage ‘Stir-fry’ of spinach, kale, onions, asparagus Mixed with turmeric, ginger, garlic granules 110g quinoa, bulgur wheat and wholegrain Hummus. Snack: Tin of tuna Half an avocado 100g pickled beetroot - Around 2,600 calories – 230 grams protein, 160 carbs and 110 fats. - Present day, daily supplementation from 10th October 2018; Calcium Magnesium plus Zinc - Solgar -Take two before bed -Take one at lunch Zinc Pilcolinate - Now Foods Zinc Picolinate 50mg-Take after tea Vitamin D - Carlson labs D3 5000mg -Take after tea Vitamin A - Now Foods, Vitamin A, 10,000 IU -Take after teaBurdock Root - Now Foods 430mg-Take two before bed-Take one at lunchDandelion Root - Now Foods 500mg-Take one before bed-Take one at lunchACV - 4 tbsps / day-Take two tbsps in morning-Take two tbsps before bedFibre - Now Foods Fiber-3-Take two tbsps with ACV on a morningFish oils - Now Foods Ultra Omega 3 Fish Oil-Take two with lunchProbiotics - Now Foods GR8-dophillous-Take two at soon as get to work, 2 hours post breakfast, don’t eat for 2 hours afterwards-Take one mid-afternoon, 2 hours post lunch, don’t eat for 2 hours afterwards Multi vitamin - Nature's Way, Alive! Max3 Daily-Take three with lunch-Garlic – Raw-Swallow two whole cloves (crushed), before bed- As you can see, my diet is very clean (quite boring) and many of the foods contribute to strong gut health? I still to avoid dairy and bread – maybe it doesn’t help with my acne and may help my gut health? - However, since starting the above regime, my flatulence and bloating has been overwhelming and without wanting to provide too much detail, it smells! But my stool is of a healthy consistency, due to my high fibre intake. But, I cannot understand why I have so much flatulence. My overall health is good. I rarely get any illness or any other issues, only cystic acne! - Side note; I’m more than happy to sit this one out and wait for the flatulence to stop / reduce, if it will. Continuing my present day regime. - As noted at the start, I have also began a regime to stop taking the antibiotics. I’m scared to come off of them in one hit, due to the amount of time I’ve been taking them. - Reduction regime; Take one acne tablet every four days then have a day off, for a month. Take one tablet every three days then have a day off, for a month. Take one tablet every two days then have a day off, for a month. Take one tablet every other day, for a month. Take one tablet every three days; tablet, day off, day off, tablet..., for a month. Take one tablet every four days, for a month. Take one tablet every 5 days, for a month. Stop taking acne tablets. My theory as a whole; - Taking antibiotics for most of my life has resulted in me having poor gut health, maybe group A strep / candida / leaky gut / H pylori?? This has a direct cause to cystic acne causing bacteria. - Increased carbohydrate, reduced vegetable consumption during my lunch time meal and stopping taking probiotics (all post-surgery), as helped bad gut bacteria thrive and increase my cystic acne. - A moderate carbohydrate diet results in acne for myself – moderate to high GI. A recent food intake and resultant cystic acne, may help prove this theory – - I had plain Quaker oats, instant oats two nights in a row before bed (Thursday and Friday), then the Saturday I got one of the worst cystic acne spots I have ever had. When I look back through my diet on MyFitnessPal and correlate to my acne flare ups, there seems to be a strong correlation, particularly post-surgery. - As a complete side note, a couple of points; - For a 26 year old male, my libido is very low. I rarely wake up with ‘morning wood’ etc and random erections are very infrequent. I discussed this with my GP and I had a blood test to test my testosterone levels. The GP stated they would inform me of my results, only if, the results showed anything irregular. They did not contact me. It has been like this for a couple of years. I couldn’t certain how long. - When I drink alcohol and go on a night out, my mouth can stay dry and ‘claggy’ with white salvia for up to 3 days afterwards, I appreciate alcohol dehydrates you but I don’t think it is normal at all. Especially when, I can drink up to 5 / 6 litres of water a day. Link to poor gut health? Questions; - Is my current regime, feeding the bad gut bacteria, hence my flatulence? From my research I’ve heard that introducing cruciferous vegetables and probiotics at the start of a regime to kill bad bacteria is the wrong approach? - Or is the flatulence a result of a change in diet and killing of bad gut bacteria? - Can I stop taking the antibiotics completely immediately? Or is my reduction regime sensible? - Does bad gut health / group A strep infection have any link to low libido? -Lastly, does my theory and current diet regime seem appropriate to make my gut health better and finally , after 10+ years stop my cystic acne? I really hope you can help me and provide some advice. My confidence is at an all-time low, I have spent thousands on different skin care products over the years to try treat my cystic acne, I finally believe I could be on the right track, by trying to increase the amount of good bacteria in my gut and removing the antibiotic use, I just don’t understand the flatulence. I did well at trying to keep this brief. Apologises. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks Josh  Katie: Hi Dr Cabral I am currently one of your wellness clinic patients and active listeners / readers. LOVE YOUR WORK! My question is what is your thoughts on the equalation diet? It claims you can eat whatever you want and be healthy and lose weight? It gets some great results which I struggle to understand given I strongly believe certain foods are not good for you eg. dairy, sugar, processed foods, which all feature on this diet. Really interested to hear your thoughts!  Chris: Hi, Do you provide on-line training? I am in Austalia and am looking to change carreer into the health and wellness area and have a great interest in a lot of the information that Dr Cabral provides. I'd really like to learn more so that I could use it in a procatice setting. Thanks, Chris Jamie: Hi there, just finished week one of the CBO protocol. Bloating and constipation seems to be worsening. I’ve upped vitamin c and magnesium (calm), drink a ton of water, plenty of body movement daily etc. I’m doing the healthy fats too. What do you recommend at this point? I’d already planned on the intestinal cleanse at the midway point but should I stop CBO and do it now or try to hang in there until week 6? I’m doing the nutritional support powder every morning with the blueberry smoothie. I added prune juice to it yesterday out of desperation. I’ve struggled with this issue for many years and have tried everything it seems, except I’ve never done an intestinal cleanse. Just looking for some direction as to what to do next. Thanks so much. Devouring the podcasts. ~Jamie Amelia: Hi there! Not sure where to ask this question on what test to get so I am going to lay it out right here! If this is the wrong place, please let me know where I can find it on the website. I am a 23 years old, haven't had a period since 2017 before I took Plan B. For over a year now I have had gut issues...loose stools, constipation, bloating, pain, food sensitivities, etc. In August 2018 (few months ago) I went to a functional medicine doctor who did a blood test on me. Came back with low cortisol, free T3, T4, testosterone, progesterone...and high TSH and thyroid peroxidase. I am now on Adernal Cortex and Nature-throid. My doctor was not worried about my gut problems, I on the other hand am very interested in this subject and am aware of the correlation between gut issues, stress (a whole other story), and health issues. My question is...what should I be doing now? I cannot afford an OAT and Stool test at this moment but I think that is the next big step. I have eliminated so much from my diet yet I still am having gut issues. On top of that I am noticing cold sore like things around the edges of my mouth and my puffy face still seems to be here. Please help! I am a less than rich college student who wants to heal herself and is struggling to get back to my old self! Have a nice day and thank you for reading my message, I am sure you get a ton. Amelia Olivia: Hi there, I've been suffering with serious gut, candida, hormonal and mitochondrial issues over the past two years and am interested in working in Dr. Cabral to try to resolve these health problems. Could you kindly let me know how I should proceed? I look forward to hearing from you!

1066: Nicotine, Private Client, Pre-Natal, CBD & Exercise & Epilepsy, Detox While Breastfeeding, Bloating Foods (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Tracy: Hi Dr. Cabral, My partner has started vaping nicotine recently. I'm concerned about this and when we've discussed it he's said that nicotine isn't bad for you, that it's the tar in cigarettes that is so damaging to one's health. I don't feel comfortable with this answer and would like your opinion on the health benefits and/or detriments of taking in nicotine by vaping. Thanks so much for all that you do. I love your podcasts and find them so helpful. Tracy Jenine: HI! I'm feel very spiritually compelled to work with Dr. Cabral, and I am really hoping you guys can work with me! In January, 2017 at 38 years old, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer with mets to liver, lungs, and lots of lymph nodes. It was a shocking diagnosis to say the least....I only had symptoms a couple of months leading up to the diagnosis. I underwent a over a year and a half of chemotherapy and worked with a functional doctor. I juiced and became a vegan and my cancer did not show any tumors on the scans for about 6 months. The tumors showed up once again last November, and after more chemotherapy until this past spring, we decided to do a clinical trial immunotherapy in June. Although still better than chemo in terms of side effects, I began to have many autoimmune related responses....colitis being my main issue, but also temporary arthritis and secondary adrenal disease from long term use of prednisone. I've had a blockage this past summer from the colitis and was hospitalized multiple times for dehydration, and adrenal disease (the worst). After all this my latest scan showed a very small growth (width of my thumb) of another tumor in my liver. So now I was taken off the trial. There are other trials and an oral chemo that I will have to look into, but right now I am still suffering from colitis and adrenal disease so until I am off the prednisone, I cannot do treatment....I also need to heal so it's ok! I tried to wean off prednisone from 60mg to 40mg last week and was sick with diarrhea and stomach pain for 2 days. It has resolved itself since as I went back on 60mg for the last week. This morning I tried to wean again, and took 50mg, I will do that for 3 days and see if I can tolerate. My main objective is to support my body as naturally as possible as I am going through this. I also need a better way to support my body suffering with cancer of course and these autoimmune issues I'm getting! I am no longer a vegan as with colitis it was not possible to eat so plant based with the roughage.....I needed the protein as well. I do try to eat as healthy as possible, and do not eat red meat. I eat fish once a week and eggs 3-4 times a week. I eat a lot of rice and cooked vegetables, smoothies, etc. I have been indulging more than usual because of the state of my colitis and how awful I've been feeling, but I really need to be 100% on track again. I've looked into Ayurveda a few times, and have even done a 3 day cleanse with mung dal, but it's a little more complicated than I would like right now with all I am going through. The practitioner I went to wasn't great, and I don't think she was confident enough to help me with Ayurveda. I need some specific testing done, and a streamlined Ayurvedic approach to what I am going through right now, and I'm hoping you guys can help with that. I would love to speak and see Dr. Cabral. I know he has a waiting list, but I will get on if I need to. Or is there another way? I live in Northern, NJ so I can go to Boston. I am willing to do anything and believe the body can heal. Can you help me? Kristina: Dear Dr. Cabral, I have always been a health and fitness enthusiast so dealing with a sudden medical issue was a shock to me. I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks and we were over the moon with excitement. At 7 weeks I started bleeding and it was dismissed as a miscarriage. After pressing several doctors for an ultrasound finally one agreed. They discovered a 3.1cm mass in my right fallopian tube - it was an ectopic pregnancy. We were devastated, but given the option to treat with Methotrexate injections or surgery. I chose Methotrexate, which has been disturbing to say the least just thinking of all the chemicals that are now in my body. I am thankful my tube did not rupture and that I am still alive. Methotrexate strips your body of all folate and can also be damaging to the liver. Folate will reduce the drugs effectiveness so I am on a zero folate diet until my pregnancy levels reach zero. We were told we would need to wait 3 months to repair my body and create a safe place for pregnancy. My question to you is what would you recommend would be the most effective way to cleanse my liver of these toxins and replenish my body with nutrients. Also in what order? (i.e. replenish with nutrients/folate rich foods first then do the cleanse toward the end of our 3 month wait?) Thank you Dr. Cabral! Colin: Stephen, I wasn't sure if this was the best avenue to ask you a question, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I was totally blown away by your two hour video with MindPump TV a few weeks ago on YouTube. The things it made me think of which I never have before were a huge eye opener. I really appreciate your approach. My question is this: I have read CBD reduces inflammation. Is this the same type of inflammation that a hard weight training workout induces? The kind that is necessary for muscle growth? Asking because I'm wondering if it would be a negative to use CBD, like taking NSAIDs which hinder the recovery processes from working. Is this logical? I just started using relatively low doses to assist me In getting sleep back on track, but Id hate to be negating all the effort of a hard days work in the gym. Appreciate you taking the time to read this if you can! Thanks so much -Colin Sonja: My name is Sonja, I'm 33 years old and almost three years ago I was diagnosed with epilepsy. After taking five different anti epileptic drugs during these years and experiencing bad side effects, I'm finally almost completely drug free and take around 100mg CBD daily. The catamenial seizures however remained. After testing my hormones, I knew it was due to low progesterone. I'm supplementing with bio identical progesterone cream and am seizure free since. But all the medication left my hormones unbalanced and I'm feeling not well despite all the natural remedies, herbs and supplements. I'm getting better, anxiety and insomnia are almost gone and so is the hormonal acne. But my T3 is low, I tested my vitamin D and it was 12.56 despite taking 2000IU daily. Now my doctor recommends strongly to run the big 5 lab tests. But before investing, I'd love to know the correct order. Should I stop some supplements before? (I take many; especially for hormone balance) Should I detox before? I hope it's ok to ask these questions. Kind regards, Sonja Kristina: Hi Dr. Cabral. You do not recommend a detox while breastfeeding which I understand. What are some ancient traditions that you can share regarding mother's health during a long term breastfeeding relationship, 2 years and beyond? In many ancient cultures and currently in many cultures around the world, nursing is common for many years. Between long term breastfeeding and multiple pregnancies that resulted in a larger family (we have four beautiful children), I have struggled to remain in robust health. What suggestions could you share for overcoming deficiencies and regaining energy and vitality in this situation? Is there anything special to share from your international studies? Thank you! Lorraine: I am suddenly/ but not a suddenly having serious stomach issues. I have for a long time had discomfort after eating I think- cooked onions mushrooms Brussels sprouts, whey protein. In the last 6 weeks I decided to eat healthy- which includes now eating all that plus... cut sugar and a lot of salt, no eating out. And my gut is brutal! For me and everyone I live with- extreme gas and hard stuck out stomach and just feel bad! I think eating healthy is making me sick. Please help!!

1065: SIBO Drugs, Salt Cave, Itching All Over, Metal in Teeth, Chicory Root, Stomach Bugs,Wine Detox, BPH (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Rachel: I ordered your organic acids test. A western dr diagnosed me with SIBO without doing any tests and prescribed me xifaxan for 3 months. My question is, if i do the organic acids test now after being on xifaxan for 1 month, will results be a bad reflection ? Do i have to wait to take the organic acids test? Elaine: Hi, I recently had a Organic Acids Test done and was wondering if I sent you the results could you interpret it for me and what this would cost? Kind Regards, Elaine Tori: What are the benefits of salt caves? What should you look for when deciding between salt caves or rooms? Is there research that supports halotherapy (dry salt therapy) as a treatment for the conditions/ailments the salt caves claim? E.g., COPD, asthma, allergies, skin conditions like eczema and acne? Linda: In June I started itching first my head and earlobes it seem to go away and then it started on my hands and feet . The strange thing is that it would be gone for almost sometimes 2 to 3 weeks and then come back . Then I broke out in hives . My doctor suggested Sarna and histamine and Prednisones . The hives would come and go right now they seem to be gone but my hands, feet and head are itching again any suggestions . I must say the sarna has saved my craziness of the itching it does help some what. Anthony: I'd like to get more information on getting test(s) to discover the root of my health issues. How do I get started Alex: You were on the Mindpump podcast and great info. I wanted to see if you could send me some additional tips on Psoriasis and the website to remove metal from teeth. Thanks. again, great show. Elizabeth: Hey Dr Cabral, it doesn't seem as if you have spoken about chicory root before. I was wondering if it's a good alternative to those who drink coffee? Given the prebiotic (inulin) factor presumably it may not do well with some people? I know you've mentioned inulin before on your show but wondered your thoughts on drinking chicory root? Thanks for all and all the best. Tiffany: You have said on your podcasts that you don't have to wait the 6 weeks that your emails are behind to find out which tests you would recommend taking but I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask you the questions? It is about my daughter. She is 5 years old. We recently moved from US to Costa Rica, it's been around 6 weeks. Previously her diet has been great, not a picker eater. Everyone is impressed at how she will eat whole foods, salads and even whole fish (eyeballs and all!) along with Cole's Portuguese sardines... she loves them. We avoid over gluten-ing ourselves as well as avoid white sugar, and sugar in general (we use stevia). I always buy organic and even soak any nuts and grains that we will be consuming. We don't have access to the same food here and recently, everytime she eats (very little at that) she claims her belly hurts. She did recently battle with an inner ear infection and I have been excluding eggs and dairy from her diet for the past 2 weeks. She started at a new school and the bathroom is "dirty" and "the door doesn't close" so she has been struggling with holding "it" until she absolutely can't anymore and then having an accident. Luckily, her daily poops are around 4pm so we are home for them. My thoughts about what could be wrong are all over the place! Parasites, bladder infection, SIBO?!? We are returning to the states in 2 weeks so I can order a test and send it in but I'm not positive what test I should order. Hopefully this can get answered before our trip back as I don't think we will be back in the state for almost 1 year. Thank You in advance for your time! Valerie: Hello Dr. Cabral! First off, thank you for the Rain Barrel Effect. Really enjoyed the book. It was packed full of easy to read information. I've been telling everyone I can about it. I'm 57 years old and since my 30's I've not followed a very good diet and drank a lot of wine (1.75L in one week period) and excess coffee (700 mg/day) In March (2018) I went on a Whole Foods, Plant-Based Diet, I gave up drinking, zero coffee and work out, as per your protocol. I suffer from Adrenal Fatigue. I'm working with a FMD and waiting for my results from my Organic Acids Test and a stool test. My Mother had Breast Cancer at 54 (she's now 91) and my Sister has been recently diagnosed (age 60). My Sister is a heavy drinker and a junk food Vegan (a bag of chips for dinner). I was tested several years ago, for the BRACA1 and tested very low. My question is, with my years of drinking and poor lifestyle, does this increase my chances of developing dis-ease later in my life? Have I done to much damage over the years? Thank you and I always look forward to your Podcasts. Vivienne: Hi there, My name is Viv, I currently have multiple food sensitivities, which include histamine and salicylates and amines (these are recent in the past year). I've done multiple hair tests over the years and hormone blood tests, I'm on DHEA as this hormone is very low after being in birth control for 20 years (and coming off 3 years ago). I don't metabolise copper well and have low levels of copper/estrogen. I'm struggling mainly with brain fog and fatigue and also generally still unsure of what to eat and when (eating around 25 foods on rotation following the failsafe diet approach). What I want: Someone to help guide me out of a state of intolerance (I've been told many times I'm stuck with them but I don't buy into that) Someone to help guide me on what food to eat and when so that I have energy to get through the day (without resorting to using chocolate and modafinil which is the only way I feel I can function). Someone to help me heal my gut when most of the traditional supplements and healing methods are off limits because I can't tolerate them. Can you help and how would we get things started? I've sent a few messages before but no reply so I'm hoping you get this and can back in contact! Thanks, Viv John: Dear Dr. Cabral, I’ve been diagnosed with BPH and am getting up 3-4 times a night. I don't believe I’ve slept more than 4 hours straight in 3 years. I’m 57 years old and the doctors all say it’s a normal part of aging which I wholeheartedly disagree with. My wife and I eat clean, take supplements and workout 4-5 times a week (crossfit) and are in good health. What is your recommendation for shrinking the prostate. There’s got to be something that causes this condition.

1060: It's Time to Re-Invent Yourself (MM)

Sometimes people get upset when someone says they've "changed..." But, in my opinion, I'd be more upset if someone said I have remained the same... I believe that true happiness comes from the pursuit of your potential, and therefore, if you're still the same person a year later then you may not have actualized any more of your natural gifts...

1059: EMF Cases, Anti-Inflammatory Steroids, Hypnagogic Jerks, Body Type Assessment, Hashimoto's Diet, GERD Root Causes, OAT Diet (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Stephen: I was listening to an interview that Stephen was doing with Loyd from the EMF Summit. He had mentioned that he has a case on his cell phone than helps block EMF/RF radiation from his cell phone. I have searched his podcasts and his website and could not find anywhere about what he uses as the case on his cell phone? Would you please give me a link or tell me where I can buy one of these EMF blocking cell phone cases? I have looked on Amazon and googled it and there is so much that comes up. I don't think the stickers work. Just wanted to know what he uses. Thanks so much for your help. Stephen  Bec: Hi guys, I discovered Stephens work last year and have been glued to his podcast ever since. I love his (and your teams!) approach to health and wanted to enquire about services for my mum. She has been suffering with memory loss and severe vagueness for 5 years now after a short stint on heavy steroids which were perscribed to treat her fibromyalgia. We are based in Melbourne Australia and have tried seeking help from GP's, naturopaths, functional medical practitioners and she has also undergone testing at the Melbourne Dementia clinic, with no definitive answers or diagnosis. I'm her daughter and have worked closely with her on all of these steps and can see her fustration/disappointment with no improvements to her memory loss which is very concerning. I would love to enquire about working with Stephen and if you feel your clinic could help uncover what the hell is going on! Look forward to your response. All the best, Bec Caleb: Hi Stephen, Just wanted to say that I absolutely love listening to your podcasts and learning new things each week. I am getting all of my friends and family onto your products also so thank you for everything you do. I am after some advice regarding a problem I have been experiencing for the past 5 years which continues to be getting more frequent. This is a topic that you have touched on in one of your house call podcasts but was a very generic case which you summed up to magnesium levels. I suffer from VERY aggressive hypnagogic jerks while falling asleep and all the way throughout the night every night. This problem is not only affecting me but also is stopping my wife from having a peaceful night sleep as I continue to wake her by unintentionally hitting her or moving the whole bed with some of my jerks throughout the night. Which is such a horrible feeling knowing I am doing this to her. I have tried the products below for at least 4 -6 weeks each which didn't seem to make much of a difference. Magnesium chloride trans dermal oil (applied to legs before sleep), Magnesium citrate, chilate, oxide, chelate (up to 600mg per day), Valerian, Melatonin, Valium, 5mg of gaba, brief meditation & stretching prior to sleep. My current supplement stack is as follows...-Cort RX by ATP Science. Which is a natural cortisol moderating supplement.- ZMST by ATP Science (Magnisum citrate, Zinc, Selenium & Torene supplement).- Iron supplement by Eagles (as ferrous bisglycinate) 24mg, (given by Integrated Dr) because my doctor said my iron levels are low for a male and it might be playing a part in this issue. My doctor also tested the magnesium levels in my blood which did not show any deficiency. I am currently training 5 days per week. I have been weight training for coming up 2 years and trying to put on size (which seems to be a bit of a struggle) and social basketball once a week. The only other supplements I am taking are creatine monohydrate (5mg per day) and beef collagen protein. I was wondering if you know what could be causing this and if you ultimately know a cure to fix this or decrease the frequency. The only thing I have found that helps slightly some nights is 800mg of DL-phenylalanine before bed but the jerks continue. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated as you can imagine this is wearing thin on my wife's patience after 5 years. Thank you so much again. Kind regards, Caleb Joe  Hi Stephen, I was listening to a podcast today with Ben Pakulski. I was pleased to hear that you work in Boston. I am 30 years old and I live in the Boston area. I would like to make an appointment to come in and talk about possible tests and working out a diet plan. Thanks, Joe Lauren: Hi, My name is Lauren, and I'm a relatively newcomer to Dr. Cabral's material and podcasts (which are fantastic). I'm particularly interested in the Ayurvedic Body Type podcasts he's been doing; I've listened to them all. I'm having gut issues and a hard time losing weight (I had previously lost over 100 lbs in my 20s), but it's slowly crept up, even though I do my best to exercise and eat a healthy diet). I'm working with a functional nutritionist to get all my testing done, but my question is about the body types. According to what I see from Dr Cabral's assessment (I am about 50-60 lbs overweight), I am about half Kapha, thirty-some percent Pitta, and some Vatta, but the more I think about it, I don't have a lot of the Kapha physical characteristics. I'm six feet tall, medium boned, narrow shoulders, small waist and ankles, but thick hips, thighs, and calves, and I do gain weight easily (I'm getting my hormones tested). I really, really, really want to eat right for my type to be healthy, get balanced, and lose weight; so, how can I find out what I truly am for my dosha? Is this a service that you can do? I would greatly appreciate any help you can give! :) Regards, Lauren Kalli: I have Hashimotos. I’m so confused on which foods go eat. I have research many “diets” or healthy eating plans and one will says yes to one type of food and then the next will say no to that type of food and I just need some guidance. I struggle with digestive issues, depression, anxiety, most thyroid symptoms. I want to heal my body. Looking for some guidance! Erion: I see a lot of information here and around on weight loss, but what about weight gain. What holds me back is GERD and physical limitation because I cant lift weights due being disabled. Denis: How should I be eating prior to testing to optimize detection of the bad organic components were essentially looking for? I’m on a candida diet at the moment and I don’t want it to go undetected Incase if my current diet influences the test to undetected what we’re looking for.

1058: Life's Challenges Rant!, Carbs Before Workout, Crop Spraying Toxins, Meters, Blood Sugar Testing, Hormone Replacement (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Suzan: Dear dr Cabral and team, Im a nutritionist living in Abu Dhabi, and im SUPER interested in your new training program. Please sign me up!!! I'd also love to book a detox plus appointment with you, so please guide me on how to do that. So grateful for all you do, in health, suzan Rachel: Hi Dr Cabral, Thnk you for all that you do; I am OBSESSED with your work and teachings! What are guidelines for what foods and what time you should eat before and after working out? My trainer told me carbs 1 hour before, and protein within 30 mins after. Is that right? Sometimes I feel better working out on an empty stomach, but I’ve heard that I’ll get a better workout if I eat before, even if that means eating at 530am.... And sometimes I’m not hungry for an hour after working out. Do I need to eat sooner than that? What is more, the additional food consumption before and directly after working out increases my total caloric intake for the day, and I’m not trying to get larger.. Your advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!! Dee: Hi Dr Cabral We recently moved to Nebraska and there are corn and soybean fields as far as the eye can see. I’m concerned with how being in a highly sprayed area will affect our health. Do you have any suggestions on things we could do to combat the increased exposure to pesticides in the air? Thanks very much. Dee   Leah: Hello, I put my email for the IHP Charter Member launch. I realized that it will (at this moment) launch in 20 hrs and in about 10 hours I will be taking in a Jewish holiday which wont allow us to use any electronics until Tuesday (sundown). I am not sure what qualifies someone to get accepted as a student but it is something I am very interested in becoming apart of as I am a huge fan of Dr. Cabral and what he believes in. So my question is how can I be proactive about trying my best to better my chances in being one of the lucky 100 students. Thank you so much! Leah Cathy: I saw you on Lloyd Burrell's EMF summit. Your book looks to be written for the lay person and will be extremely informative to me as a novice to this issue. I'd like to start with an EMF meter. On the summit you avoided providing a brand name. Can you recommend a brand and where to buy a meter as I start my adventure in detecting and eliminating EMFs in my home. Thank you. Lindsay: Hope all is well! I just watched a very interesting video featuring Dr. Cabral and had a followup question and was hoping someone could help me! In the video he talks about ectomorph vs. endomorph body types and testing your blood sugar in the morning when you wake up, after you eat, after you work out, etc... Does he have any articles or podcasts on this topi? I want to test my blood sugar in the morning when I wake up (I believe I wake up with very low blood sugar) but I wouldn't even know what is considered "low" or a healthy range for after a meal, after a work out, etc...I would truly appreciate more insight on this topic. I am sure you get an overwhelming about of questions and comments, but I hope to hear back from you soon! Best,Lindsay Christianne:  Hi Dr. Cabral: I've been listening daily for months now to your podcast and appreciate them so very much. I've also recommended you and your teachings to so many friends/family. Have so much gratitude for you and your team - thank you!! I finally ordered the three tests you recommended for me when you answered my question about distention and bloat after eating in a recent HouseCall podcast. I'll be doing the organic acids / food sensitivity / stool tests as soon as I receive them in the mail. I'm crossing my fingers the 60 min consult will be with you. Possibly related, but maybe another issue entirely is my estrogen dominance. I just listened to the podcast from today about losing the last 5lbs. I feel like you were talking directly to me ;) !! I know from having my functional physician here in Miami run tests on me that I'm estrogen dominant, so in other words, my progesterone is low. She initially diagnosed me with hypothyroid, put me on thyroid meds, then when that wasn't making a huge difference and my periods were still super irregular, she put me on progesterone hormone on cycle days 14 thru first day of my period. My cycle is now way more regular, but I'M STILL FEELING AND SEEING INFLAMMATION! Especially in my hips, midsection. I have a feeling you are going to suggest the thyroid / adrenal lab test, however, will the results even be accurate given the two medications I'm taking? Would you recommend that I stop taking both meds, wait until they are out of my system and then do that test? i'm pretty terrified of the weight gain and low energy that might creep back.This is all so crazy to me because I'm the healthiest person I know! Diet excellent (i'm a health forward chef recently graduated from Natural Gourmet Institute), exercise a good amount (6x week including yoga and i'm a former fitness instructor), I meditate, have an amazing family and friends, stress is managed, etc.As a FYI: I'm 44 years old, about 125-128lbs and 5'3" but my normal happy weight is closer to 118. Whatever I do I cannot get back to my normal, happy less-inflamed body. Thanks for any suggestions you might have! Christianne. P.S. I'm also a Boston native :) Grew up in Brookline! But please open a practice here in Miami.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1058 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral   - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1055: The Truth About Carbohydrates (WW)

I believe the current argument against carbohydrates is very shortsighted and will lead to the eventual future detriment of many people following it right now… While it can have its merits in the short term and is typically recommended for very noble reasons in a clinical practice, that does not mean what works in the short-term should be done in a long term… To find out why and how to overcome these long-term hurdles tune in to today’s #CabralConcept 1055 to discover the truth about carbohydrates – Enjoy this sure-to-be-controversial show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1055 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1052: Non-Dairy Formula, Slow Oxidizer, Fatigue & Immunity, Dystonia, Lupus, Keto Gone Wrong, (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Sandra: Hello! Love your podcast. My supply is drying up please help! I have listened to your podcast about goat milk formula and I’m forced to choose between two. One is called Holle Organic goat milk formula and the other one is non gmo Kabrita goat milk Formula. Should I choose the organic one because non organic has pesticides? Here are the ingredients for both. Do any of these ingredients look alarming to you? You said to stay away from palm oil. Seems like every goat milk formula available has some type of palm or vegetable oil in it. What about organic dairy formula? Baby only is the brand I used with my daughter. Is Taurine an ingredient I should avaoid? What about palm kernal oil? Sunflower seed oil? I’ll attach the dairy one too for ingredients. I know you can’t tell me what to feed me baby but i value your opinion and i hope you can educate me on which one has the best ingredients so i don’t have to have anxiety over it. Cant wait to hear your response on the podcast. Hope all is well. Holle organic goat milk formula: ORGANIC GOAT MILK POWDER, ORGANIC MALTODEXTRIN, ORGANIC LACTOSE, ORGANIC VEGETABLE OILS [ORGANIC PALM OIL, ORGANIC RAPESEED OIL, ORGANIC SUNFLOWER OIL], CALCIUM CARBONATE, L-TRYPTOPHAN, SODIUM CITRATE, CHOLINE BITARTRATE, VITAMIN C, L-CYSTINE, L-METHIONINE, L-ISOLEUCINE, VITAMIN E, IRON SULFATE, ZINC SULFATE, CALCIUM D-PANTOTHENATE, NIACIN, COPPER SULFATE, VITAMIN B2, VITAMIN A, VITAMIN B1, VITAMIN B6, MANGANESE SULFATE, POTASSIUM IODATE, FOLIC ACID, VITAMIN K, SODIUM SELENATE, BIOTIN, VITAMIN D, VITAMIN B12.

E), zinc sulfate, niacinamide, vitamin A palmitate, calcium pantothenate, thiamin hydrochloride (vit. B1), copper sulfate, riboflavin (vit. B2). Judy: Greetings! Can you please do a podcast on slow oxidizers? My husband and I have recently gone through a 1 hour coaching session with one of your fabulous health coaches and she mentioned that we were both slow oxidizers. She answered our questions and gave us some great health recommendations but I'd love to learn more about slow oxidizers. Are there specific foods that would be best for me? How should my habits differ from a fast oxidizer? Is it a good or a bad thing to be a slow oxidizer? Anything else I should know about being a slow oxidizer? Thank you, Judy Jordan: I am interested in working with Dr. Cabral on wellness issues including general fatigue and immunity issues. Is he able to do this consultation remotely? I live in Tacoma, Washington. Also - will you bill insurance or provide me with forms to submit to my insurance company? Carter: Hey stephen! LOVE everything you do!! I have a cousin with cery bad dystonia, have you heard of this? It is genetic in our family but my mother does not carry the gene. He is stuggling bad and has found little relief with brain surgeries, wires/batteries put into his chest and brain etc. He would be willing to try ANYTHING and supports alternative medicine 100% so please ANY suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks again much love everyone on the cabral team!  Stacey: Hi Dr. Cabral. I was wondering if you could do an episode on lupus if possible. My husband has lupus that affects the skin only. He breaks out in rashes if exposed to too much sun. It is pretty well confined to his back. He is 41 and it presented itself in his mid 30's. He does take an anti malarial medication to help control it. Are there any dietary or lifestyle changes that we could make to better control this? Any advice would be appreciated!! Thank you, Stacey Zoe: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've just listened to your podcast on keto (965) and I wanted to confirm that everything you have warned about has happened to me. I'm a highly stressed (presumed/self assessed) vata-pitta dosha - I operate at a hundred miles an hour and pride myself on "efficiency" rather than moderation. I started exercising with a personal trainer 3x per week for 6months (on top of walking 10k steps, cycling everywhere and generally rushing about all over the place) and undertook a highly keto (80%+ fat diet) for this period, plus a further 6 months. I also undertook significant fasting periods (regularly 60hr water fasts) and undertook fasted workouts. Initially, I felt good, almost "high" and was running off cortisol/adrenalin. In the last couple of months, I realised that I was flagging and wasting my muscles (despite undertaking strength and cardio training). Long story short, I think I have flogged my adrenals and thyroid half to death (nb I was previously informed by a conventional GP that my thyroid was borderline underactive, although I never took medication) - I am now introducing a lot more carbs into my diet (now aiming for 200g per day, which is more than I have had for years and years). (I think) I have realized my mistakes with surviving on a keto diet with long periods of fasting just in the nick of time - and am thankful for your insight, which helped me come to this conclusion (albeit more slowly than I should have!). A quick question - do you think that fasting for any period longer than the overnight 12 hours can be helpful/advisable for someone in my situation - that is a high-cortisol, adrenal fatigued female in her early thirties. I loved the effect that fasting had on clearing brain fog and an almost "spiritual" feeling after the 36 hr period, but im now afraid to do anything to further wreck my fragile adrenals. Secondly, and unrelated, would it be possible for you to dedicate an entire podcast to the menopause. My mother is suffering extensively with effects, including very low estrogen, feelings of anger, uncontrolled emotions and dryness. Thanks for all you do - you're an incredible contributor to this world.

1051 Clinic in India, Collagen Powder, Gastroparesis, Cheat Meal Timing, Halt Cognitive Decline, Exercise Post Nasal Drip, Pinpoint Pupils (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Nala: Hi i was hoping that you could recommend a center in india do do a 21 - 30 day panchakarma ? Ive been researching my own but thought with your experience you could refer a place Thank you. Ps im and organic farmer and permaculture land scaper living in California. I would like to continue eating organic and being in a place out of a city. I loved your book everyone in our family (extended) is reading it Cherie: I am about to start the CBO protocol and was wondering when/if I can continue to use my collagen powder. Also I liked day one and day two of the 7 day detox. Could I continue to only have the all in one shake on the first two days of each week during the CBO protocol? Annika: Hello there, thank you for the great work you're doing. My sister told me that you are about to launch your own certified program to teach people your way of healing. Unfortunately, I cannot find anything about it on your website. Maybe I looked in the wrong places. Is there an email list I can join to get more information about it? Thank you for getting back to me. Best regards from Germany Annika Brooklynn: Hello, I’m in my late 20s, and have been diagnosed by a GI with leaky gut and gastroparesis. I eat gluten, diary, and almond free after getting my IgG and IgE results back. I struggle with bloating, constant exhaustion and fatigue, and lately extreme pain and soreness in my neck/shoulders. Can you please let me know what you’d recommend? I’m unsure of what to do. Thanks in advance for your expertise, insight and knowledge. I appreciate and respect how dedicated you are about helping others, and love your consistent enthusiasm and passion on your podcast! Joel: Hello, I am interested in doing the CBO protocol but since it would go through the holiday season I was wondering if you are allowed cheat meals during the protocol. If so, how far in to the protocol are you allowed a cheat meal and how many times a week? Thanks! In good health, Joel  Julie: I'm writing in regards to my 83-year old father. He has dementia and suffers from significant cognitive decline and loss of muscle strength and control. He's not wheelchair-bound, but uses a walker full-time and is very unstable. I just listened to podcast #746 on halting/reversing Alzheimers & brain-based aging diseases. I'm wondering if it's too late to help my dad? He's so thin, I'm afraid of major diet changes that would cause him to lose weight but at the same time, I would do anything to help him if there's any hope. Lisa: I have been working out for over 10 years but the past 2 month I have noticed that every day when I go to the gym or even when I use my cybex machine at home I get this post nasal drip down my throat during my workout . What could this be and what do suggest I do for it? Lydia: Hi Dr Cabral - I recently found your podcasts and have been listening and learning. For the last 8 or so years I have done my best to be my own naturopath. I did Dr 30 day incurables cleanse 7 years ago.. I found a great homeopath and also a good naturopath, as well as a functional medicine chiropractor, but none seem to have been able to help me the way I feel you will... I feel such a relief to know that I can find some answers, finally. Thank you so much for you willingness to help those of us who just don't know where else to turn. I took the Big 5 Lab tests you recommended and I am on a hopeful path forward and I thank you for that. My question -I have constricted pupils and have had constricted pupils for around 8 or so years now. I guess I would call them pinpoint. My pupils are always small. When I am in a room with a bright light they are tiny and when I cover them or dim the light I see no change or barely a change. I went to an iridologist and she thinks that this happens when someone has extreme adrenal fatigue. When I did the Big 5 lab tests on 7/9/18, the results did show that my cortisol was: 7.7 morning,1.8 noon, 2.7 evening H1.5 night H. I am currently doing the CBO protocol, I am also taking 2 -Adrenal Soother capsules at lunch and dinner. I went to a optometrist who recommended vision therapy and light therapy, but neither the vision therapy or light therapy (red and green) have helped. Do you think that my constricted pupils may be from my high cortisol levels? If so, should I take anything in addition to the Adrenal Soother? Is there something else that can cause this?

1048: How to Overcome Mold Toxicity (The Complete Mold Protocol) (WW)

It's an unfortunate reality that 1 in every 2 homes in the US and the UK (most likely other countries as well) have an unhealthy level of dampness and mold overgrowth... And, the worst part is that most mold toxicity symptoms come from the exposure to invisible mold spores that are floating around in your home or office and land on furniture, pillows, or are directly inhaled... My goal today is to enable you to see why mold toxicity is underdiagnosed in conventional medicine and what symptoms you should be looking for...

1045: Detox Lab, Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy, Candida Food List, Hemochromatosis, Switching Probiotics, Chronic Bronchitis, Tele-Meeting, Fluid in Ears, Food Intolerance (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…  Let’s get started! Megan: I was wondering if you recommend doing particular lab tests before doing your detox? Or Is it okay to just complete the detox at any time? I wasn't sure if you wanted to look at different levels before vs. after the detox. Thanks! Beth: Hi Dr. Cabral! My name is Beth. I'm 25 years young and I have recently, in the past year and a half, been diagnosed with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME). No one in my family has any form of epilepsy that we know of, so this was strange to us. My neurologist has me taking 750mg of Keppra twice a day, once in the morning and then again at night. I have been told that if I plan to have a family in the future, I will have to come off of this medicine because it can be harmful for a baby. He suggested I also take a good folic acid, which I have been doing every day. My question is, is there anything plant based I could take in replacement of this medication, or anything in conjunction with? I have never had a full-blown seizure, I was just having what he called "mini seizures" almost daily, especially when tired. One of these "mini seizures" caused me to drop an eight pound dumbbell on my forehead while lifting weights, and from there having the stitches, EEG, and brain MRI is how I was diagnosed back in 2017. The medication has completely stopped these "twitches" as I called them. Sorry for the long post, just looking for any healthy option here. Thank you for your time. I love listening to your podcasts!  Cherie: I am about to start the candida protocol soon. I like to make a salad dressing with flax oil, I usually take a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar throughout the day and I also usually drink about 4-8 ounces of unsweetened cranberry juice mixed in my daily water intake throughout the day. Are these three things allowed and if not how should I try to reincorporate them into my diet? Christine: Hi Dr Cabral, I want to thank you for all you do and I’m wondering if you can lead me in the right direction. I am 55 years old, going through menopause, currently on hormone therapy which I know is not the best thing. I also take a compounded thyroid medication-T3, pregnalone, adrenal support, 5 htp, omega 3,probiotic and a daily multivitamin. In addition to all that I use your daily nutritional support shake on a daily basis. My dna testing came back showing I am a carrier for the mthfr gene but also suseptible to hemotomachromosis. I have had one lab result come back with elevated iron before. My question is this, I understand the benefits of vitamin C and how it works in many aspects, anti aging etc etc. My naturapathic dr even said I should take it to help support my adrenals. Also with winter coming I’d like to take it during cold and flu season. But how can this be done safely to avoid elevating my iron levels? Thank you for all you do and I look forward to hearing your reply. Hanna: Are you supposed to switch up your probiotic after a while?  Jennifer: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm a relatively healthy woman in my mid 30's. My diet is ok, though I'd say I have 4-5 cheat meals a week that often include dairy and occasionally gluten (not sure if that is relevant). Once or twice a year over the past few years I will get a lower respiratory cold that I assume to be bronchitis. The coughing is fierce and will typically last a month. My friends and family always push me to go to a doctor to get antibiotics, but most of the research I've done tells me that it is most likely a virus that can't be treated with antibiotics. I take a more holistic approach to health than those around me and would rather treat myself with this approach. Being sick this long takes a toll on my work and pretty much puts me out the entire time I'm sick. 1. At what point do you recommend visiting a doctor if you think you have bronchitis (if at all) and do you think antibiotics are necessary or the best option? 2. Are there supplements or a protocol you'd recommend to treat bronchitis from a more holistic approach? 3. Once you've recovered from bronchitis are there immune supporting supplements or adaptogens you'd recommend taking to keep your body healthy as a preventative? Something you'd take year round or maybe seasonally? Thanks so much for all that you do. I really think your podcast is opening people's eyes up to a whole new approach to health that they didn't know existed. Mackenzie: Hello! I live in Philadelphia and I came across Stephen Cabral's videos on YouTube. I am interested in working with him, does he accept clients via tele-meeting? For reference, I'm a 26 year old female and I've struggled with disordered eating (being both overweight and underweight at different times in my life). I would like to figure out a final solution to my diet and health, as it's been consuming for me. Please feel free to let me know what opportunities I may have with the center! Thank you, Stefanie: Hi Dr. Cabral, A friend of mine introduced me to your CBD Oil and I have had really positive results. I was wondering if it will be available online again at some point? If not, is there another place that it is available? Thanks! Katie: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm writing from Australia and came across your podcast through the gorgeous Melissa Ambrosini and am now devouring every single episode from the start and want to say thankyou for taking the time to read my question. My problem is that I've been dizzy for over a year, I have fluid in my ears and inflammation in my nose and constantly feel pressure in my face and behind my eyes. There is no pain just the dizziness and pressure. I have been back and forth to the doctor with no answers. Im losing hope in ever feeling "normal" and well again which is why I am writing to you and I would love to hear what your advice would be. Thank you so very much. Katie  Rebecca: Hi, I have been listening to Dr. Cabral's podcast for the past several months and have found so much value in the content. I have been experiencing some issues that I believe to be food related and am interested in some type of testing to determine the root cause. On several occasions after eating I have experienced severe nausea which sometimes has led to vomiting or diarrhea and on other occasions has passed after several hours of feeling sick. These symptoms usually occur several hours after eating once I lie down to go to bed and are different from what I consider "typical" acid reflex which I have experienced since childhood. On more than one occasion I have experienced nausea after eating food cooked in a smoker such as ribs, pizza and chicken. However, I have also experienced the same symptoms when eating foods cooked by other methods. I have not been able to pinpoint a specific food or spice so I thought that it may be helpful to do food sensitivity testing. I have an allergy to sulfa drugs but no known food allergies. Is this the best test for me to perform or is there another option that you recommend? Thank you for your guidance, Rebecca HouseCall Outro for Libsyn For Sunday Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1045 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

1044: Blood Type Vs. Dosha, Meat Only Diet, FM Testing, Mucuna Pruriens, ME Symptoms, Vata Weight Loss, Ear Candling, IgE Desensitization (HouseCall)

HouseCall Intro for Libsyn For Saturday Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jake: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been really getting into your podcasts on Ayurvedic Medicine, and have really been getting into the doshas/body types. I really am seeing some trends amongst friends, family, and myself depending on body type. I have read a lot of the blood type diet and I am wondering if there are any correlations with Ayurvedic Medicine and blood type or the blood type diet? Thank you!  Natalie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm hearing a lot of banter around the "meat only" diet. People often reference the inuit communities to support the long term efficacy. I would love to hear your perspective. Thank you so much! Natalie Kylie: Hi Stephen and team, I wanted to make enquiries with regards to your functional lab testing and coaching call included and then also your private concierge practice. I have been suffering with chronic illness for a number of years, two years ago I became so unwell I had to stop working and move back home with my family. With a history of gut issues, constipation, candida, bladder infections, eating disorder etc. The year leading up to moving back home, thyroid issues, loss of periods, strepteccocus overgrowth of 96%, liver congestion and my bowel stopped functioning completely on its own. I have tried many things and always learn to a more wholistic natural approach, I have definitely healed in many ways in the last few years but still my bowel requires daily supplements of herbals to function, I have lost a lot of weight due to not absorbing nutrients, I react easily to food and am on restricted foods no grain, limited protein, just fruit and vegetable all fresh and organic, I also react to many supplements and always have to approach with care, I still have thyroid issues and gut issues, and suffer exhaustion as well as nausea, cramping etc. I have been considering getting some of your tests done and was wondering if the cost is in US dollars? I am in Australia. And also the hair mineral analysis test, this doesn't work if you have coloured hair from hair dye does it? I also wanted to ask what tests you find are most beneficial, I was drawn toward the thyroid, and organic acids testing. But wanted to know what is recommended, cost is a consideration for me as well having spent so much on my health. I also wanted to ask re you private coaching and if this is an option how far in advance it is booked out, and is this also US dollars?I have been looking at your supplements and also different protocols, Saccharoyces boulardii I am actually allergic too and have tried in the past can you not use this if you do get testing and suggestions and perhaps something else be offered.Also how does the call work included in the functional lab tests if you are in Australia with time differences? Is it just one call you get?Thanks so much Kylie Darrell: Hey Dr. Cabral. Great show. Thank you for this. It has been a life changer for me, my family & friends. I'm writing from Tobago. I've used your search bar before asking and haven't seen anything on either Mucuna Pruriens or Shilajit. I heard they're both used un ayurvedic medicine. What are their benefits and do you recommend it for say a male in his late 20's (or anyone for that matter). Javier: Dear, Mr. Cabral. This is Javier (24 years old) from Peru - South America. It was hard to find a person that finally understands my symptoms but finally I found you so far from my country. Let's get to the point. Ive been following a Candida Diet for about 3 months at the request of my doctor. I experienced some kind of improvement the first month but I've felt little progress since then. I continue with the same symptoms: strong fatigue, muscular pains, difficulties from just getting up from the chair, walking and any kind of movements; long list of food sensitivities, but the most surprising fact for me is that I have so many difficulties in talking to people and reading and I also get sick very easily and frequently out of nothing. Ive already listened to some of your podcasts and I have run a Organic Acids Test in Great Plains Laboratory whose results will be ready in about 2 weeks. My question is what can I expect from these weird symptoms that have me deeply worried. I'd also love you to tell me what sources of carbohydrates I am allowed to eat during this Candida Cleanse Diet (maybe beets, carrots, sweet potatoes, berries, maca root, low glycemic fruits?), because I've been on a Keto Diet for 3 months and it seems far too long period of time for me since Im practicing weightlifting 4 days in a week (to keep my health and self-confidence up during this difficult times) and my thyroid profile is kind of low according to some blood tests I did a couple of weeks ago specially my T3 levels (1.81 pg/ml) Thank you so much in advance. Sincerely,Javier  Sunny: Hi there! I have two questions: I think that I am a Vata-Pitta body type (primarily Vata), and am struggling to lose weight. In your podcast about diet plans, the Vata plan is geared more towards those who lose weight easily, however I need a plan that focuses on losing weight. So, would starches in the morning and grounding foods still be okay on the diet? Can you give more tips for Vata weight loss? Also, Will you be offering the Dosha body type analysis service to listeners? In one of your previous podcasts, you mentioned that we could send in photos for your team to analyze and come back with the correct dosha body type. I would love this! Adrianne: Dr. Cabral, Do you recommend or have any feedback on ear candling? I did it for the first time a couple weeks ago with positive results, but I would appreciate your thoughts. I was surprised it hadn't come up in 900 episodes. I am 37 years young and getting younger everyday, now that I am armed with your knowledge. The concept of removing toxicities, replacing deficiencies, and re-balancing the body, has been transnational for my family! T h a n k y o u ! Anonymous: Hi, Is it possible to get rid of some (or all) IgE food/environmental allergies? I have gone through some of the previous podcasts where you discuss IgG sensitivities going away after healing the gut, but does that apply to IgE reactions as well? I do not have the financial means to get functional medicine lab testing at this time or to see a functional medicine practitioner, but I am curious to know if, in general, IgE allergies can theoretically go away. If it is not possible for IgE allergies to go away, is it okay to eat the foods I'm mildly allergic to (no anaphylaxis) or should they all be avoided because they will increase inflammation?

1038: Ionic Foot Bath, Contact Dermatitis, Placenta Encapsulation, Post Pregnancy Chronic Inflammation, Tanning Beds, NY State Lab Regulations, Too Little Calories, Accutane Detox Recovery (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Gretchen: Hi Dr Cabral, Can you tell me if the ionic foot bath helps to detox? I hear controversy whether it is actually removing toxins or not. Thank you! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m a massage therapist and I believe that I’ve picked up a skin fungus from one of my clients via contact dermatitis. I have eczema on my hands and when it flares up, I can go into scratch mode w/o thinking about it. Because of this, I probably had small open sores on my hands that I couldn’t see which, I’m sure, contributed to making me susceptible to any skin pathologies. What do you suggest as a cure for skin fungus? I’ve been using OTC creams like Lamisil and Lotrimin for coming up on a month now and while the bumps, oozing and itchiness have subsided a great deal, there are still a few stubborn spots. I’ve also started drinking sarsaparilla in the form of a tea to also target the fungus internally since I read that sarsaparilla is a detoxifier. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks very much! Casey: Hi Stephen, massive fan of your podcast I tell everyone about them here in Australia. Could you do a podcast on placenta encapsulation or eating your placenta & your thoughts on it. Iv heard very mixed reviews. Kathleen: Hello, I’ve recently heard about you from listening to the Melissa Ambrosini podcast. Since having my child 18months ago I’ve suffered chronic inflammation, pain in my joints, depression, low mood, etc. My inflammation markers were so high that my gp arranged for me to go to hospital for an appointment with a Rhuematologist. After various blood tests for arthritis, lupus, etc they all came back negative. The rheumatologist couldn’t tell me what was causing the inflammation but prescribed me the following; Naproxen, Plaquenil, Sulfasalazine & now recently Methoblastin. They told me I need to take these to reduce the inflammation so my joints don’t go deformed. All of these meds are immunosuppressants. Having a small child who attends day care I am constantly sick & rundown. Two weeks ago I had to have two iron infusions (ferrinject) as I had anemia. I would love to stop taking these medications and heal by body naturally. I’m in Australia, & I’m unsure which test I need? If you can please recommend the right one for me that would be wonderful. Thank you for your time. Regards Kathleen. Ps. I’m 35, 4-5 years ago I was competing in triathlons, now I can’t even run. Eliana: Hi, I would love to hear what you think of tanning beds! I’ve heard most doctors say it leads to skin cancer and others say it’s actually beneficial once a week for a short length of time. Also, are berries better to have after a workout because of antioxidants cleaning up free radicals, or are the benefits just as good if eaten before the workout? Mary: Hi, I would like to find out more about the upcoming program to become a "coach" or "integrative practitioner," unsure if I'm identifying it correctly. Can you please direct me as to where to learn more? Currently, I am an RN, Certified Diabetic Educator and Credentialed School Nurse. I also have my own personal journey towards wellness and would love to learn more. thank you!! Maureen: Hi there, I am a listener of the podcast and I am eager to hopefully work with you in the future and have been doing a lot of research. I have a ton of health issues that have been going on for a little over two years and still haven't solved anything. However, I live in NYC - and I keep seeing the messages that lab sales are prohibited to those that live in NY state. My question is - why is this and is there anything I can do about it? I can't accept that because I live in NY I won't be able to get the tests I need to heal myself - is there any way I can work around this or figure this out? Have you worked with anyone from NY before? Thank you in advance! Maureen Valerie: Hi goodmorning, so I'm 21 and have been trying to lose body fat (not weight) for a bit over 3 years now. Iv done trial and error both in food and exercise. I got my RMR studied at a local university using the oxygen mask and have been eating at that deficit for months now. I weigh my food on a digital food scale and log it into the calorie counting app and pay attention to my macros. I eat healthy and I havnt seen any progress instead iv seen weight gain which has been through higher fat. I got my blood work done it came back normal my GP said I should do more exams such as hair tissue exams and such but 1) idk where to take it and 2) ur packets are expensive for me to get so I need ur help through advice please iv gone around and asked everyone Antony: Hi Dr. Cabral! Question about Accutane (Isotretinoin) Thank you so much for your message at the end chapters of Rainbarrel effect. It's made a profound difference in my life. What are your thoughts on detoxifying Accutane? I took it 5 years ago when I was 18, on a high 80mg dose everyday from an unaware dermatologist. It has wrecked my eyes and caused burning dry eyes with severe meibomian gland dysfunction and gland atrophy. I am able to cope by taking high dose Omega 3's thanks to a PubMed study I found myself. I'm not sure if the glands will regenerate (conventional opthamologists says no) but I have other health issues as well after taking Accutane. Accutane also caused me my first depressive episode and panic attack. I've since had generalized anxiety since then, fatigue, and brain fog, which I still experience to this day. Besides working on the liver with coffee enemas, broccoli sprouts, and beet juices, do you have any targeted detoxifying modality for fat soluble pharmaceuticals like Accutane (Assuming it is stored)? I've taken it for 5 months in the past at incredible high doses. I've heard of the niacin sauna potentially eliminating any 'stored' fat-soluble Accutane. What are your thoughts Dr. Cabral? Please keep doing what you do :) Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1038 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1037: Trigeminal Neuralgia, Low Carb Benefits, Milk Protein & Casein, Food Stuck in Throat, Find Your Answer, OCD & Gut Health (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Anonymous: Hi, I´d like to stay anonymous on the podcast if possible. I am a big fan of your book "the rainbarrel effect" and your podcasts, they have made a big impact on my daily life, I suffer from Type I diabetes and was able to lower my insulin dosage after following parts of your protocol! I would love your advice on trigeminal neuralgia. My mother first expierienced trigeminal neuralgia after my father suddenly passed away at a young age, 2 years ago. She had severe pain on the left side of the face, the first and second branch of the nerv were affected. Touch and even wind lead to a lot of pain and sometimes even brushing teeth or washing her hair was impossible due to the pain. Many years earlier she has had a herpes infection in the same region. If stress was high, the pain went up immediately. After a while of unbearable pain she gave in to take prescription drugs (Neurotop) which helped a little but had big side effects like bloating, hairloss, severe diarrhea and change of mood. We identified a tooth in the left upper jaw that was inflamed and she got much better after extraction of the tooth, she was even able to stop taking the neurotop. Unfortunately another stressful life event threw her back to having unbearable pain and having to take Neurotop again. She tries to detox her liver and reduce stress but nothing seems to work. Unfortunately we cannot order your supplements to Austria. Would you have any suggestions? Thank you very much, looking forward to your answer in the podcast! Meghan: Hi - I was wondering if you could tell me the current wait time to get in the rotation for the 3 month program with Dr. Cabral? Thanks in advance. Rachael: Hello Dr Cabral, My name is Rachael, and I'm looking intently for a PCP trained in functional medicine for my family of 5. I am 44 years old, husband 45, daughter 18, son 16 and daughter 14- with no known health probs/diagnosis. We live and RI and frustrated with the fact that our state/Health Department does not recognize NDs as a distinct medical and health entity- as you may be well aware. I am unable to find a Functional Medicine practice of docs that practice as a PCP. Do you practice as a PCP? I heard you interviewed on the Ben Greendfield podcast and July and was super excited to learn you were in a neighboring state- still and hour drive from where I live, but am more than willing to venture out for care from a physician like you. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you and in great health, Rachael  Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral, my name is Nicole and I was wondering if you could clarify some things for me please. I follow and love your content. I am learning a lot but I feel like I'm confusing myself. I have stuck to the keto diet for about a month and a half, feel great, extremely energized and lost weight. I am not a diabetic just trying to be healthy and manage my diet and a lung condition.I am a fairly active person and being on keto is the best I have ever felt for a consistent period of time. My 16hr fasted glucose in the morning was at 93 which I thought was high but I thought it was a good sign that when I eat my glucose doesn't go up too much maybe like 101 and then comes back down fairly quickly. After I worked out for about an hour my glucose went up to 128 and then started to come down to 93 after 30 minutes and then 87 after 2 hours. I was wondering if you could explain this process to me and If I am burning fat adequately if my sugar is spiking like that? Also I am starting to incorporate homemade green juices of just green vegetables, ginger and lemon because they help facilitate better breathing for me and it is something I want to include. My second question is would the increase in carbs from the vegetable juice coupled with maintaining the higher fat lower carb diet (most of the carbs I am consuming are from vegetables) that I have been following lead to weight gain or throw off insulin sensitivity and fat adaptation? I'm sorry for the lengthy email I just don't know who else can clarify these things for me. I hope to hear back from you. Thank you Nicole Brandi: Do you have any podcast or information related to a milk protein (casein & whey) allergy? I was just diagnosed with this allergy and I know its different that lactose intolerance, but I'm still trying to figure out how to fit calcium into my diet. I feel like my bones are suffering b/c they aren't getting what they need. Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. Over the past few years I’ve had a few occasions where it feels like food is stuck in my throat. If I drink water it feels worse and makes me choke a bit. I know two people who have had a procedure done to stretch the esophagus but this sounds invasive so wondering what you might recommend. Stephanie: Dear Dr. Cabral, Right off the bat I apologize for the length of this message as I am certain you receive thousands of emails! However, I can't help but hope you'll be able to address mine. I just read your amazing book, The Rain Barrel Effect, and for the first time IN MY LIFE I felt like someone understood, AND HAD ANSWERS to what has been ailing me for years. I am currently 51 and have been sick most of my life. I really have had no (quality of) life, but my spirit refuses to give up the fight/belief (though it was close) that one is possible! I just have not been able to find any doctors/resources that seemed to truly know/understand what is going on with me, and therefore have had no solutions. I've been told, by various doctors, that I'm a "complicated" case. I really appreciate that you shared your personal story in the book. It brought me to tears because I found someone who actually knows what it's like AND had ANSWERS as well! (I never would have been able to put all those pieces together on my own, and thus far, nor has any provider I've seen!) So, THANK YOU, TRULY, for ALL your vigilant studies, the time and dedication you put into seeking and finding answers, and then your willingness to compile and share these findings so that others could get well! (Your many painful years of being ill were not in vain...they became your victory!) And although my story is not completely like yours, I can relate to so much of it. I scored a 117 on your quiz which only confirmed to me that my system is a mess. I don't have a lot of money (currently on Disability), so I will need to save up to see you, but I REALLY believe you can help me, help myself. You do a beautiful job outlining the "how to's" in your book, I just feel so sick, tired and overwhelmed that I really don't know how best to start?! I would like to have an appt with you in order to establish a structured, goal oriented health/wellness plan that is best suited for me. I'm more than willing to do the work! I've been trying for years to find answers! You really brought back my hope that I can actually get well and have a life! So with that...finally, my questions:1) Unless you know of a doctor, such as yourself, whom you respect, that lives in/near Minnesota, may I schedule an appointment with you? 2) How much do you charge (appt, labs, follow-up, etc.) I realize it would be an estimate? 3) What do I need to do to make this appt and what would you need from me? (Again, I have to save up money and this will take some time, but I SO WANT to do this! I would even try and stay in Boston for a bit, or make a couple trips so I could some follow-up work with you.) Forgive me if I sound desperate...I guess I am! I just SINCERELY want to get better, to learn more about how it was possible, so I can then actually HAVE A LIFE and proceed forward (in health and wellness), as a testimony to your findings, in order to help others! Thank you in advance for your time and your response! Sincerely - Stephanie Troy: Hello Dr Cabral, My name is Troy, I'm from Australia, and looking for help regariding my long term struggle with anxiety, panic, OCD and gut health. I was compelled to contact you as I heard you on a podcast today. I have given 'alternative' medicine a try in the past, spent lot's of money, and gotten no results in improving and or beating my mental health and gut issues. I've seen two functional doctors here in South Australia, one who got me to do the MTHFR gene mutation test, which turns out I was positive in one of the mutations. (He was making lot's of money here in Adelaide claiming that this mutation was the cause for anxiety and panic, my first exposure to false claims, and charging clients $300 AUD just for an initial consult!) He got me to take a supplement by Thorne (Methyl Guard-Plus) which was going to be the 'magic pill', it did nothing. The second doctor got me to do a stool test, and it came back saying I had high Strep, and low e-coli - he recommended I take a strong probiotic, coupled with a magical strain of probiotic which was derived from a WW2 soldiers stool called Mutaflor!?!? This also had no effect. I've seen a Chiropractor/Nutritionist who got me to do a 'leaky-gut' test, a treatment my GP has never heard of and doubted, which came back I had a leak, and it needed to be sealed with a certain diet and supplementation. His theory was that I had too much sugar in my brain that was making my anxious... The next person was a Naturopath in Melbourne who got me to try Glutamine powder for my gut, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for OCD issues, and Inositol for god knows what! Again, nothing happened. This was all done at different stages by the way, and after all the frustration I'd try someone else again. Later on down the track after swearing that anxiety/panic is definetly a genetic issue, I thought I'd try a Nutritionist, he was young, and I though I'd go this diet/supplementation route again. I told him my past trials, and he tried a hair folicle test, which came back with some issues according to him, one being that I was really low in Lithium, so I tried the magic pills he suggested, I can't quite remember what they were but I spent again lots of money I didn't have. One of the pills were called Molybdenum by Seeking Health, I can't remember what it was supposed to do, but once again......nothing. As you can see I've tried a lot in this alternative field, I also just remembered one of the first people I saw was a Homeopath. She got me to take all these wonderful 'potions' that were going to take away all my anxiety and severe OCD at the time, but you guessed it, nothing. In amongst all this I kept going back to traditional methods, in the form of Psychology, which to this day has been the only thing that has helped. Not cured me, but I do manage and function okay day to day now, but I would definitely say I'm not cured. Other therapies I've tried are psychiatry, tapping, NLP, six different, Hypnotherapists, Psychotherapy, CBT, ACT, and many other forms of alternative and traditional forms of health care. I'm 38 years old, pysically fit, yet frustrated, depressed, jaded and angry. I'm single and had to move back home with my parents form the time when I had the severe OCD issue, I'm desperately looking for answers and help, and am willing to keep trying anything even though this has already cost me thousands of dollars that I don't have. Well, this is again me trying this diet and supplementation approach. I listened to a podcast you were on today, and I thought I have to keep trying. I have lost trust in your field, but am that desperate to fulfill my dream of travelling the world I 'm willing to try again. So, Dr Cabral, would you be able to help me out? Before I knew you had a Ayurvedic background, I was actually about to contact a lady here in Adelaide who is an Ayurvedic practitioner, but since hearing you today I thought you might be better to talk with considering your qualifications. I was wondering however, if you think it's going to be worthwhile me using your services and not someone here in Australia who does the same thing, if there is any, only because of the money (Australian dollar to US), and logistics of the situation - me buying anything from the US online is double the price after the exchange rate. I'm just SO confused. From the podcasts I listen to they say anxiety/pancic can be a symptom of poor gut health, leaky gut, SIBO, bacterial overgrowth, H-plylory, gut infections etc etc, it's just too much it's doing my head in! I'm not sure what to believe anymore. I still firmly believe that my anxiety has been around as a young child, and I've always been a sensitive kid. The panic began around the time I smoked some pot with my cousin when we were about 17. But I have always had some form of a digestive issue, and from about 20 years old I've had a gut pain/cramp every so often (once a month) which usually lasted about 24 hours. My GP has told me I have IBS, where I was told by a dietitian to get on the FODMAP diet, which helped my chronic diarrhea, and helped me get better sleep. Anyway, I'd love to know what your thoughts are and if you could help, refer and or diagnose my long-term health issues I would be very grateful for your advice. Thank you in advance, I look forward to hearing fro you.

1035: The Clean Way to Tone Up & Transform Your Physique (TT)

I'm not denying that animal protein and vegetables at each meal works for physique transformation... I did it myself for many years, but I can assure you it is not always the cleanest way to fuel your body for long-term health (which is very different than body aesthetic goals)... And, over time many people will begin to feel the effects of this type of diet (sluggishness, bloating, brain fog, low energy, immune, skin issues, etc.)...

1034: The Ayurvedic Anti-Ama Diet (for Sluggishness, Inflammation or Weight Loss) (WW)

It’s interesting to look at all the various diets being promoted right now and seeing the specific correlations as to why some work better than others… If you are suffering from sluggishness, brain fog, fatigue, puffiness, or weight gain we have known for many thousands of years there are certain foods that worsen those conditions... And in order to combat those symptoms of a congested body, you must follow a nutrition plan that begins to eliminate the foods that are not moving you closer to your goals… This is why on today’s #Cabral Concept 1034 I’d like to share with you the Ayurvedic Anti-Ama Diet - Enjoy the show! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1034 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1033: This is Exactly How Stress Causes Dis-Ease (TWT)

We throw around the terms and phrases that stress causes 90% of all disease, but how does it do that?

1031: Bacterial Overgrowth Removal, Rebalance Body, Citracidal Substitute, Irritated Eyes & Mouth, Vitamin D Rant, Itchy Groin (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Tiffany: Hi Doctor Cabral, My patient took a genova stool test which came back NG (0) of the good bacteria Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium. And 4+ HIGH in Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Citrobacter freundii and Pantoea species. I am new and want to do what is absolutely best for this patient as she has gone through a lot of digestive and skin issues. Do you agree with my protocol below? I am very open to tweaking. 2 Phases: Phase 1 : Paragard 20days with high dose probiotic 14 days (Probi 225) Phase 2: Berberine + moderate dose Probi Also Panplex enzyme with all meals. Rachel: Hi Dr. Cabral. I love your podcast and am so excited to finally be submitting a question! My question is focused on PCOS, getting off of birth control, and preparing my body to get pregnant. I am planning on stopping my birth control pills at the end of 2018 in order to give my body 6+ months to cleanse itself and rebalance before we start trying to conceive. Diagnosed with PCOS- typical symptoms of facial hair, thinning of hair on head, and very irregular periods. I have been taking an oral birth control pill consistently for the past 5 years. Due to PCOS, I had severe chronic cystic acne and completed a round of Accutane about 3 years ago, which helped dramatically. My acne has actually started to come back over the past few months, but not nearly as bad as before. I have had chronic digestive issues since I was a young child and suffered from chronic constipation my whole life, until about 9 months ago when I started taking a Magnesium supplement regularly. My stool is loose and I suspect I have leaky gut, since I see undigested food/food debris floating in the toilet. Once I get off of my birth control, I want to do a cleanse and heal my body. Would you suggest the 14 or 21 Day Detox, Candida or SIBO protocol, and the Heavy Metal Detox? I want to ensure I am setting myself up for a healthy and successful pregnancy and baby! Thank you for your wisdom, always! -30 years old, 5'5, 135 lbs -HIIT workouts 4-5 times a week at Orange Theory Fitness -I take magnesium, zinc, probiotic, collagen, and some adaptogen herbs on a regular basis -Eat a clean diet mostly, avoiding grains and dairy and too much animal protein. When I do have a cheat meal, it involves pizza and sweets. I focus on consuming majority vegetables and fruits on a daily basis and plenty of water. Denise: Hi, I recently completed your candid protocol and added some grapefruit seed extract for H.pylori. When I used the grapefruit extract it triggered a RA reaction. I followed it up with your 90 days gut Healing protocol but still have nail ridges and am having inflammatory problems. I was thinking of trying your parasite protocol but I find if I use oregano, grapefruit seed or garlic my stomach and gut hurts. Will this protocol give me a RA reaction? Do you think I am missing a reason why my gut is not healing ? I am on the AIP protocol and have done most functional tests. No major problems where noted except candida and H.pylori. and tried other protocol that didn't seem to work. Can histamine or fodmap be part of my problem? I listen to all your podcasts and really love them. I really appreciate any guidance to healing my gut that you can give me. You are amazing. Thank you Denise Anna: Hello, I hope you can help me it's in relation to my dad who is 83 he has had itchy eyes and mouth over the last few months.he has developed this behaviour now of rubbing his eyes and mouth constantly. We have brought him to see various doctors and opticians but the problem doesn't seem to be improving. I am nit sure if it is anxiety now that is causing him to do this. I would appreciate your help. Thank you. Julia: Dear Dr Cabral & Team, I've just finished reading your book and had a look at your online shop. I noticed that shipping to Australia costs min USD59; is there any min order value which would allow you to ship to Australia without any extra shipping cost? Kind regards, Julia Joey: Hi Dr.Cabral, I have a question regarding vitamin D blood levels. You seem to be a supporter of a 50-70ng for basically everyone. I’ve been reading about vitamin D, and some brilliant people suggested that such advice might not be ideal, and may in fact be harmful for some people. His reasoning is that the way we truly know whether we are or aren’t defficient is to check not only 25OHD, but also PTH and Calcitriol. Apparently, what we want is a suppression of PTH to about 30 (whether through calcium or vitamin D). If PTH is at around that level, the body is basically telling us that we aren’t deficient neither in calcium nor in vitamin D (even if vitamin D is only around or slightly below 30ng). We want to test whether PTH will go down through vitamin D or dietary calcium. If it goes down due to calcium, we probably aren’t defficient in D even if our levels of vitamin D are only around 30ng. What is your opinion on this? Thank you Anonymous: Hi - I’m a 33 year old female and have a nagging symptom - I have an itch on the outer lip of my vagina. It’s only on the left side and in one area, it’s outside, not internal, not where one would notice yeas. I have talked with my OB and given the suggestion of applying coconut oil - this started about 2 summers ago. It’s a persistent itch and cannot be ignored when it is “flared”- most intense in the morning and at night - I don’t really have the issue during the day.I am sexually active my husband & I have only been with each other with no suspicion of stds. Here’s what I’ve tried:- hydrocortisone - neosporin - coconut oil - essential oils (All help for a few mins to maybe an hour). Also tried/changed (I did not change all at once just over the last two years) I wear looser fitting clothing. Shower immediately after a work out. No undies to bed. Stopped using soap (use a Norwex cloth). Changed to a “0” on the thjnk dirty app for shampoo. No longer use hair products, lotions or perfume. Changed to a low chemical, no scent laundry soap. I also did the CBO protocol and sealer just in case it was an invisible yeast based issue. I did the food sensitivities test and eliminated all of them. I do the nutritional support powder daily with a smoothie and eat dairy, gluten and sugar free. I eliminated grains & lectins in addition to the above for 30 days. I do not shave but carefully trim In case it was an ingrown hair type thing What can I be missing?

1030: Perioral Dermatitis, PCOS Testing, Fix Female Hormones, Skin Rash, Coffee Substitute, IHP Coaching Career (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Paul:  Hello Dr. Cabral, I'm an 18 year old male and I've been struggling with perioral dermatitis and acne for the past 2-3 months. Today I visited the dermatologist and she prescribed me an antibiotic pill (doxycycline) as well as two facial creams, but I'm aware of the many negative effects an antibiotic can have on my gut so I am very reluctant to try this method to clear my condition. I know that leaky gut could be the main reason my skin has flared up like this. I would much rather prefer the natural approach to my help skin (and possibly my gut), but I do not know where to start or how to maintain the correct diet and lifestyle to help myself. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Paul Tessa: Hi Doctor Cabral! I can't thank you enough for doing these house calls! You have no idea how many tips I got just listening to you answering other people's questions. And now I wanted to submit mine: I just heard I have PCOS, and have done a saliva hormone test with a local naturopath just to check my levels. All of the hormones, including Estradiol, are more or less in a normal range. Only Estriol was extremely high (about 3 times as high as the normal). I want to redo this hormone test with one of yours when you start shipping to Europe this Fall, but in the meantime, could you maybe tell me if it's harmful having Estriol that is super high? And if so, advise on how I could start lowering it? I eat a healthy, plant based diet, and started supplementing with DIM, fish oil, zinc and vitamins D and C.. thanks to your suggestions :) Thanks so much in advance! Jessica: Hi there, my name is Jessica and I live in Dallas,TX. I came across Dr. Cabral in the last month as my internal conditions have been getting worse - fatigue, hives, internal heat, etc. I am wondering if you offer consultations via email/Skype as I am not local. Please let me know what options there may be as I have tried alternative treatments and nothing seems to resolve the issue. Thank you! Denise: Hi, I love your podcasts and appreciate all the great information. I am estrogen dominant and have had a complete histarectomy and don't know how to fix the hormone imbalance. I was wondering if dim or anything else would help. Any advice would truly be appreciated. Sincerely Denise Alec: Hi an thank you for the work that you are doing. I have an odd migrating skin irritation / rash that I am experiencing for the second time. The first was about 2 1/2 years ago. Almost identical manifestation both times. Both times now it began around my left eye, expanded and inch below the eye in a circular shape, and on the top eye lid in the folds. And over the past few months has looked slightly better on the left eye, but has migrated to my right eye to the same level of redness and inflammation as when it began around my left eye. It seems to be mirroring the first side. I eat well, eliminate well and regularly twice/day, no processed foods, i cook all my food from scratch, organic always, eliminated alcohol. What I have done extra over the past few months since this came up. Started at my MD then to a dermatologist who perscribed 2.5% hydrocortisone ointment. That didn't and still doesn't clear it up so I moved on. Blood and Food sensitivity panel and eliminated those foods showing reactions. Still do. First thought from my ND was candida based on sensitivity panel. So I took a 14 day round of fluconozole. That destroyed me, took many weeks to get my digestion and elimination back to regular. I followed the pharmaceuticals with 8 weeks of herbal supplement containing berberine and a few others designed for candida from my ND. During this process I herd you speak about the importance of biofilm disruptors, and added it to the protocol I was already exploring. 8 weeks in total with candida herbs and biofilm enzymes. Still have the imflammation and slight rash. So now I am wondering if it is topical bacterial? I read the rain barrel effect! My score was a 39. About to do 14 day detox and empty this barrel of accumulated stuff. Wondering if you have any recommendations for next step testing. Thank you for your work, Alec Jess: Couple questions! 1. What is your favorite coffee substitute that taste like coffee Ideally instant so u can just add hot Water 2. Is instant Organic coffee bad ? 3. Pain in left groin 2 days before period- what could this be? 4. Thoughts on sepia 30c 3 daily for pms? 5. Only 30 and pain in liver area day after drinking 3 alcoholic drinks.  Thank you! I know a little all over the place Verity: Hello there, Firstly thank you for all that you & your team do. I am deeply grateful for stumbling across your podcasts, with your wealth of knowledge & wisdom you help so many from around the globe. From the bottom on of my heart, thank you. I would love to get more information to become a Wellness Coach Practitioner through your Institute. I'm a personal trainer, yoga instructor, and completing my B.Heath Science - Naturopathy degree. Cabral Concept than I have my whole year in Naturopathy. I have another 3 years left, and I'm finding it sterile and missing the that you offer. The passion, the drive, the love of helping people is missing. I would to be able to represent you & the evolving movement that is functional medicine. I've listening to as many podcasts as I can, and the fact that you state that your degree may not have been exactly key hit home. For me it's not about the paper at the end but the knowledge and wisdom I acquire along the way. My purpose is to help people achieve their best. Through wellness coaching I am able to offer that. I would love to work with you, Again, sincerely thank you for all that you do.

1028: Avoid These Heavy Metal Toxins in Your Home (TT)

The average person is exposed to 120 potential cancer-causing chemicals before they ever leave their home in the morning... This means that without your knowledge you are unintentionally coming in contact with known carcinogens proven to cause cancer and other dis-eases of the body...

1026: The Only Proven Anti-Cancer Diet (TWT)

It’s sad to say but estimates right now are that cancer will be the leading cause of death by 2030 (just 11 years from now)… This statistic means that 1 of every 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime... To me, this is completely unacceptable since the majority of cancer cases are lifestyle and environmental related... The problem is no one has ever taught us what causes cancer in the environment and, better yet, what foods have been proven to help prevent it in the first place… That’s why on today’s CabralConcept 1026 I want to present you with the research stating the exact foods that have been clinically proven to help prevent and kill cancer in the body – Enjoy the show! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1026 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1024: Mold Issues, Private Client Application, AUS Shipping, Tight Budget, Greens Powder, Molecular Hydrogen Water, Underlying Asthma Allergens, HyperThyroid Symptoms (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Dawn I’ve searched the podcasts and couldn’t find anything detailed about mold toxicity. I lived in an apartment that had water damage for 5 years. I developed weird headaches that I experienced everyday. They felt like random electrical shocks in my brain. I had a sore throat everyday, had constant yeast or bacteria infections. Always tired and moody. Before I realized what was causing my symptoms I thought I was sick for so long and did everything I could to fight it with healthy foods and supplements. As I was cleaning and reorganizing I found black mold all over my place. A friend said maybe I am allergic to something in my apartment. I didn’t think that was the case but took a Claritin allergy pill just to see what happened and within an hour all my symptoms disappeared that I had been experiencing for months. I went to doctors got many tests and they said it was all in my head. One of the tests my white blood cells came back extremely low. The doctor said it is probably because I was getting over a cold, which was actually mold allergies. I have since moved since I found out and ordered the CBO protocol and detox. I’m feeling better but would like to know if there is a specific mold protocol and how mold effects the body and mind, as I still am not even close to 100% Thalas  I am 78 year old man and have been suffering from lyme, bartonella, babesiosis, ehrlichiasosis, and had chronic fatige prior to the tick bite. I’ve tested positive for lead poisoning, and candida. My OTA gave me your information and am looking forward to working with you and your team. Jessica  Hello there, Thank you for taking the time to read over my email. I would really like to set up an individual phone consultation with one of Dr.Cabrals Holistic Health Coaches. I have a couple different symptoms and dis-eases within my body I am trying to rid and feel that having a phone consultation first would give me a better understanding of how to move forward. Kind Regards, Jessica Shaye Good afternoon! I've been listening to the Cabral Concept for a while now and I wanted to take the plunge and purchase some Detox and other supplements from the website, Unfortunately being from Australia and on a very low income I can't make it work with P&H costs too (which I completely understand of course!). I am wondering if your company has any known/trusted references for similar products in Australia? I really wanted to have a reliable shake mix and daily fruit & veg bend specifically. Thanks so much Shaye Penny Hi, I am certified holistic nutritionist in Boulder, Colorado. I have been helping people get well for many years. I myself was very sick in my early 20s and through seeking and prayer I found my way to health and healing through holistic nutrition. This lead me on my path to wellness through various methods of education-- traditional college education to alternative wellness education and beyond. In fact, at 59 years old I am still pursuing wellness and health education through attending seminars, conferences, clinics, and online learning. I love to learn and I love the study and world of holistic health. I have no doubt I will be attending some educational training until the die I die. I am writing you because in spite of my knowledge and expertise in health and healing I am experiencing some health issues recently that I do not have the energy or desire to try and figure out for myself. I have ignored them for too long in order to take care of others. I'm at the point I can no longer ignore my health issues because they are now affecting me on a daily basis, and I need to get well again so I can continue to help others get well. I have been listening to Dr. Stephen Cabral's podcasts for two years and he is the one health expert I most agree with and connect to. I respect many others but it's Dr. Cabral I most align myself with as a functional practitioner. Therefore, I would like to order the top five blood tests. However, I want to know exactly what kind of guidance and help I will receive as a "patient" after I order the lab test. I am interested in receiving more than just a lab reading. I would like to be treated as a "patient" not as a consumer. Does ordering these tests accomplish my objective or should I see counsel from another practitioner? Thank you for your time. Joel Want to get started with Detox. I am currently reading your book now half way through. I am 43yrs old 5'11" 175lbs "decent" shape BUT WANT TO FEEL BETTER!!!! I have been married for 21yrs and have 4 children that we home school. So money is tight and would like to do what is best for our family budget. I live in Northern IL. Baile Hey there Dr. Cabral.. i listen to your podcast every day and am so thrilled with the information that i learn everyday.. Keep doing what you're doing.. i aswell as millions love it.. My question for you today was what your take on 'molecular hydrogen water' was.. i've been hearing a lot of hype behind it and was wondering what you thought.. Cheers, Bailey Magaly Hello. I have a 4year old who constantly suffers from asthma. He gets sick about every 6 weeks. Except during summer. I’m tired of having him on the neutralizer with albuterol and having him taking steroids occasionally to open up the lungs. How can I help him with your practice? He’s not the kid who gets an attack out nowhere. It usually progresses in like 2 days. Mostly I’ve seen it’s accompanied by runny nose. He’s been tested for allergies and has a really high sensitivity to mold and dust mites. Christine Hi, I have a friend diagnosed w Hashimoto's disease, currently talking Synthroid to manage it although she still gets rapid heartbeat and anxiety sometimes. She would like to manage her symptoms naturally, without the synthroid. What lab tests do you recommend and/or course of action to start the process? Thank you.

1023: Eosinophilic Esophagitis, Digestive Enzyme, Children’s Lab Testing, Vegetable Protein Powder, Dosha Confusion, 10lbs to Go, Hormone Imbalance, Kapha Foods, Pitta Spices (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Kenzie: Hi Dr. Cabral! Have been listening to your podcast for several weeks now, going back and listening to a bunch of episodes. First of all, thank you for your wealth of knowledge! I enjoy listening to your podcast very much. I have a question that I don’t think you’ve talked about (or at least I can’t find it). Have you ever heard of / dealt with any clients that have EOE (Eosinophilic esophagitis). My boyfriend has been dealing with it for a few years. You touched upon something similar in a semi-recent podcast and mentioned that the ‘balloon-method’ should not be an answer (something his doctor suggested but he didn’t go through with). We’ve looked up so many different ways to combat EOE but no success. After listening to so many of your podcasts, I figured you might know how to help. Happy to chat on the phone with you or someone from your team about this further! I have a few other questions anyways and would love to start working with you/the team! -Kenzie Denae  Hi, I just started listening to your podcast and I'm hooked. I actually plan on doing your 7 or 14 day detox plan soon. My question for you is which digestive enzyme supplement do you think if most effective? Sorry if you have answered this perviously in a podcast. Thank you! Greg I was curious if I am able to purchase the lab tests for my child. Thanks Jessica Hi there! I just finished reading The Rain Barrel Effect, and I am very excited to start a 21 day detox. I would love to purchase the kit available on your site, but I'm concerned that the shake powder has rice and pea protein. I've been reading that most vegetable protein powders have high levels of heavy metals. Do you have more information about this, or will you be developing a formula without vegetable protein or with a different protein source (like collagen?). Thank you for your help! Jessica Daniella Hi Dr Cabral. I have been listening to the podcast you did on the Melissa Ambrosini show, and also the podcast with Dr Sushas and I'm trying to find out how i find out my body type. I have completed a online dosha quiz, and I'm wondering is that all i need to do. Do I just start following the Kapha dosha qualities. I would be interested in making sure that what im following is the right thing. Any advice would be apprecaited. Happy to make an appointment to speak with you also. Thanks Daniella Kelly I am interested in learning more about how I can work with Dr. Cabral and his team. I am "healthy" in the western definition of the word. I eat pretty healthy workout 4-5 days a week and don't have any specific problems. However, I want to lose 10ish pounds and have more energy. Juanita Good morning. I am post total hysterectomy 1 1/2 years, and wanted to know if there is a podcast that I can listen to that can help get pass the loss. Examples like weight gain, fatigue, mood swings, as well as, hormone imbalances. Please help! Juanita C Love your show, and especially the new Ayurveda Wednesdays. I have been struggling with my body transformation goals (losing weight, getting in shape) for a long time, in part because of my Kappha Pitta constitution. When I exercise, especially with my focus on strength training, I bulk up really fast, so I tend to get bigger rather than smaller. When it comes to diet, I know that more vegetables and less starches, proteins, and fats tend to be best for my weight loss, but with my level of appetite, this usually cannot last, and I start reaching for more of all three. Compounding all of this is the fact that the dietart recommendations for Kappha and Pitta are literally the opposite! It just feels like with my body type, I'm either going to be an athlete or a potato, and I'm going for something more in-between. What is the best food and exercise combination for this body type (and I suppose other body types with dual, contradicting natures)? Laura Hi- I’m listening to all your Ayurveda podcast and got a book you suggested. I figured My body type is over 50% pitta, my face has some Vata features, my chest waist, and shoulders some Kapha. About 58 pitta, 25 Vata, and 17 kapha. However, I love Spicy and warm foods. I understand I have to balance that-but I’m always cold. When I drink or eat something cool or cold I get Goosebumps and cold for a while. I have Ryanair’s diesel so I’m confused on how to eat to balance everything?

1020: Increased Inflammation & Fat is Being Caused by “Chemical Obesogens” in the Environment (WW)

Ayurvedic Medicine has taught us for thousands of years that environmental and internal toxins can cause the body to begin to break down and age… Its ancient wisdom has also intricately explained why, as we become more toxic and our total body burden increases, we also begin to add more body fat... This direct correlation is now finally been proven in modern medical science giving much-needed validation (for conventional medicine) for this hidden knowledge… Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 1020 to discover how chemical obesogens can lead to increase fat stores & inflammation - Enjoy the show! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1020 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1017: AutoImmunity Diet, Adult Acne, Sports Performance Study, GMOs, Curated Research, Denmark Shipping, Anxiety Testing, Fitness Trainer Body Image (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Nathan: Dr. Cabral, I have followed you for several months and absolutely love your advice and it has helped me tremendously from recovering from an autoimmune disease recently. I am currently, "healthy" based off lab test. No abnormalities, I no longer test positive on the autoimmune antibodies test My food sensitivities have gone away, however I'm still having trouble going back to my regular bodyweight, I'm naturally an ectomorph with some slight mesomorph characteristics. I've lost 50 lbs in the past four months, however I still need to lose about 20 lbs to get back to my normal weight. Do you believe this body fat is being extremely stubborn to lose because of present toxins and inflammation present in my body? Eating organic vegan and consistent exercise isn't quite helping at this point, water fasting also seems to not help me lose much body fat either. Is there any advice for someone coming out of autoimmunity that you'd recommend for the best recovery? Should I further fortify my gut, with the zinc, quercetin, glutamine? that you recommended? Rigbe: Hello, I am struggling with a stubborn adult acne. I know its an internal issue I am about ready to find a cure for the disease and not the symptom Megan: Hi Dr. Cabral, my name is Megan, I have been listening to the podcast for a couple years and have run many of the protocols and am SO SO thankful to get to learn daily from You daily, and share your message with as many people as I can. I sent today's episode:930 to 15 people-SO good!! Anyways, I am a 1st year PhD student for a Human and Sport Performance program and I wanted to know if you had any ideas relating to performance & potentially combining it with a nutritional intervention that you think would be a good idea for a dissertation topic. I am kind of lost and I want to do something meaningful, and you are so immersed in the research that I really think your opinion would be great! Any gaps in research you can think of, I am open too! -The population I have the easiest access to is our collegiate athletes at the university I teach at, and we have capabilities to measure things in the blood and urine & muscle tissue from biopsies if you foresee something in that area being the Dependent variable. Thanks so much, Megan  Sandra: How do you feel about gmos ? Did you ever watch gmo omg ? Does organic mean non gmo ? Maddie: Hello Dr. Cabral! I was introduced to your podcast about two months ago, and since then, I have completed a 7-day detox, and I am currently in the midst of the CBO protocol. I have been following your nutritional recommendations (morning smoothie, vegan/vegetarian lunch, vegetarian/paleo dinner) and supplementing with the DNS powder, and I feel great. I have been reading a lot about different nutritional habits and lifestyles across cultures, for I recently finished (I would LOVE to see a possible Friday review on this book and get your thoughts). I know you are a big proponent of a Mediterranean-style diet; however, in this book, she explores and scientifically supports the benefits of a diet void of processed sugar and vegetable oils, low in fruit and carbohydrates, and high in saturated fat and animal products (emphasis on eating the whole animal including organs). I know you do not support the idea of a long-term keto diet, but what is your opinion on this diet which emphasizes the consumption of organ meat to consume antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals which is consistent with the Native American diet-style? Do you have any thoughts on how certain food alters genetic expression? Christinna: Hi I Really need your help. I have yeast and bacterial overgrowth and no one in denmark seems to know anything. I am so upset. i have spend so much monny and I know a lot. No one has your expertice and I really need your yeast protocol. I just know it Will help. Your are really My last options. Would you du and exception and send it to denmark, I will pay ekstra for it and it Would Mean the a lot. Kind regrad Christinna Taylor: Hey there, great work and your passion for what you do is truly inspiring. I am currently rebounding from a self-treatment for worsening anxiety/depression from age 21-26(current age). After self-treatment has failed, I have had to detox my liver and body with months of coffee enemas, and at this stage am right back where I started - when I open my eyes in the morning the first words that pour into my mind are pain, agony, and despair. I heard someone describing their chronic arthritis pain once as “just because I’m not talking about it in every conversation and at all times, that doesn’t change that I am hurting every second of the day, at all times.” In more or less words, and that’s exactly what it feels like battling anxiety and depression. I didn’t grow up feeling this way and so am afraid I have altered my brain chemisty(I realize that is the Western view, but still probably true) in an irreparable way with alcohol abuse from age 18-24. I no longer consume alcohol but am still struggling to maintain a balanced and clear state of mind all days, mostly because I never seem to be content or at peace and am always searching for an escape. In searching for an Ayurvedic alternative to SSRIs or something more toxic and imbalancing like benzodiazapenes, is there anything you would recommend, in the way of FM labs, that could help balance my body without the use of brain-altering drugs, and to help find the sense of inner peace? Also, I am curious which Ayurvedic herbs might help - I know depression has been linked to full body inflammation and a glass of water with half a bottle of organic turmeric spice seems to stabilize emotions. CBD helps the anxiety, but I would prefer to have brain balanced and an ama-free body. I would really appreciate your insight - I apologize for the lengthy question but it boils down to: What are the best recommended FM labs and Ayurvedic herbs in the treatment and the pursuit of balance against anxiety/depression? Notes: from my reading I appear to be exhibiting extremely Pitta based depression - and based on your at-home quiz, my dosha seems to be, scored out of 19: Vata: 7 Pitta: 9 Kaffa: 3 Thank you so much for your time and sharing your passion and depth of knowledge of the Ayurvedic system with us. Sincerely and with appreciation, Taylor Emily: I am a fitness coach… I have a lot of experience and nutrition, exercise etc. I’ve been struggling for the last three or four years after going through a bout of Epstein bar virus… And result became hyper thyroid… And since there and having a hard time regulating my bodyweight. Very hard to be going through this when I am in the fitness industry… And I’m always in the spotlight. I do not know what is going on with myself right now, I seem to be continually gaining weight… I know I do have problems with estrogen being high and have major water fluctuations every day . I have a great natural path I’ve been diligent in getting a regular labs done on my thyroid hormone levels… But can’t seem to lose weight. I am about 10 to 15 pounds over where I’m comfortable in my industry. I am only eating about 1200 to 1400 cal a day… And have a training schedule obviously and work long hours… And I still I’m gaining weight. I feel very hungry but at this point I am scared to eat… I am scared not to eat… I do not know whether I should be exercising… Or not exercising… I have played with adding in more exercise, I have played with taking out intense exercise and trying to see if my body needs a break. I am very frustrated, and actually becoming a bit depressed as I don’t even know what to do with myself anymore. I have thought maybe that my caloric setpoint is low? I’m sure whether to add any more food, Takeaway food,… I diligently track my food. And I feel like I couldn’t be any more discipline than I am now. Could use any recommendation you could give. I don’t have a ton of money… But I have already spent a ton on supplements etc. I am taking synthetic medicine for my thyroid, Tim for my estrogen along with some other supplements, B vitamins, Ashwaganda....

1016: Online Certification, Fixed Retainer, Headache Numbness, Indigestion, Cracked Lips, Low Libido Supplements, Kapha Diet (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Jose: Hello Stephen I'm so glad I found you and your podcast! I was wondering how do I sign up for your upcoming functional medicine education training? I work as a physical therapist and have found myself frustrated at times because I see many patients with issues other than musculoskeletal issues that I can't help. I also know other systemic issues may actually lead to the musculoskeletal pain they may be having. I have become interested in furthering my education with regard to funcional medicine. I would also love to get your opinion on whether you feel it would be a good choice to apply to a Naturopathic Doctor program which I recently have been seriously considering. I would love to better be able to help people and I plan on signing up for your classes if I am allowed to but I wonder whether I will be better able to make an impact with people by actually becoming a board certified naturopathic doctor? Any advice/information you can provide would be much appreciated. Thank You-Jose  Jenett: Hi Dr. Cabral, First off, I love every episode and learn s much from you, so thank you!! I really look forward to every episode and have enjoyed the recent ones on ayervedic dosha’s. Much like you, my passion is to help people with their health in a natural Patric way. I’ve been looking at schools on line, but it’s hard to know where to go to get a degree as a natural path of practicianer, that doesn’t take seven years to complete, or break the budget. Can you recommend a great online school? Have you heard of new eden? If so, what are your thoughts on it in terms of achieving my goal? Thank you so much for any advise and help you can give. Jenett Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, I've had a fixed retainer with bonded metal wires for about 7 years now, is it possible that some metals are leaching from the retainer and possibly exposing me to heavy metals? At least once a year I get a professional dental hygiene clean and the fixed retainer doesn't bother me other than the potential heavy metal toxicity. Currently considering having it removed but given the money I spent on correcting my teeth I really don't want my teeth misaligning back to how they were! (don't particularly wish to wear a plastic retainer at night either!). I wondered what your view is on this and whether it's best to have them removed or would a regular heavy metal detox alone be suffice? Ideally I'd simply do a hair tissue mineral analysis but frustratingly I am unable to do that right now. On a side note, I have more or less all the symptoms of low thyroid and some minor melasma (I understand melasma can persist due to excess copper levels). Have been taking gaia herbs adrenal support; understand weak adrenals also contribute to inability to excrete excess copper. Taking multivitamin (Nature's plus source of life gold), milk thistle to help detox the liver along with pure Hawaiian spirulina. I wondered if there is also any potential link with scoliosis and heavy metals? I presume any type of metal in the body would propose heavy metal risk? Look forward to your upcoming show with your biological dentist! Thank you for all you do. (London, UK) Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcasts, you have inspired me in many ways! I wanted to see if you have any experience with abnormal/irregular migraines? I have had only 3 in my life and they have been very spread out. During the first one I actually believed I was having a mini stroke. It starts with an aura in which a figure in my vision is blurred and I start to feel uneasy and dizzy. Then I get a headache and then I get numbness in my left hand. I have gone to Neurologists a couple of times and they have done many tests, MRI's even had an echocardiogram and they have no idea what is causing this. Do you have any suggestions? It is very scary when this happens. Best, Ashley Evelyn: Hi, I have a history of indigestion as well as heartburn and I get bouts of loose stool where I have to run to the bathroom. I am fighting severe fatigue with a past history of Lyme disease, H Pylori, and Babesia that I treated for a year homeopathically through a specialist in Maine. I have started to take B2 which seems to be helping. I have tried immune system boosters but it seems like those overstimulate my system and cause things to get worse. I have a superb diet and am a pescatarian. I do not eat dairy or wheat and I workout 5-6 days a week doing mostly cardio. I struggle with a hiatal hernia as well (on and off), which my mom and daughters also struggle with. Jim B.: Hi, I struggle with having to constantly clear my throat due to phlegm. I have tried cutting wheat/gluten and dairy out of my diet and that did not seem to help. I am not sure what causes this or where to begin. I also have many small, splitting and cracking cuts at the tips of my fingers to the point of pain and it is much worse in the winter time. No lotion has seemed to help. Swimming in salt water and being in humidity clears it up right away, but living in Maine I do not often have the option and it comes back right away. Lastly, while I am sleeping at night I am constantly jerking and making sudden movements, almost like full body twitching. Looking forward to hearing from you, thanks so much! L Caesar: Hey Dr. Cabral. From Tobago. Great show. It has been a life changer ever since I heard you in Jason Ferruggia's podcast and I recommend it to everyone I know. Rain Barrel Effect book is excellent. Just wondering if you've ever done a show with regard to an ayurvedic take or what natural means are they, if any to boost both male & female virility, enhancement, libido etc with regard to sexual performance and measures to prevent any onset of problems like erectile dysfunction, loss of erection, dyspareunia, loss of sexual desire etc. Used search bar and didn't come up with anything. As always keep up great work. It's making a huge difference worldwide. Katie Meuse: Hi Dr. Cabral & Team! I've been loving the Ayurveda podcasts. I've recently read "The Rain Barrel Effect" and "The Paleovedic Diet", and Vasant Lad's "Ayurveda-The Science of Self-Healing" many times, yet I'm still struggling with choosing the correct foods for my dosha. I'm pretty positive I'm a Vata-Kapha. I'm 43 with no health issues, but want to lose 10 pounds (mostly around my middle). I'm a yoga instructor and have been teaching for 15 years. Although I'm from New England originally I live in South Florida now, and also find it hard swear off smoothies & cold foods when it's always hot here. So many of the vata pacifying foods contradict the kapha pacifying. How do I know which is out of balance? Since I've accumulated a little weight, should I lean toward the kapha diet? I did the 7 day detox a few weeks ago and did lose 3 pounds, but a couple crept back LOL. I'm planning on doing it again soon. Thanks for your help!!

1010: Mentoring, Kapha Fruit Diet, Iodine Dosing, High Platelet Count, Dead Leftovers, Pyruvate Kinase (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Affton: Hello! My husband is a huge fan of Dr. Cabral. He listens to his podcast every single day (and has been for more than a year now) and has completely changed his lifestyle to follow all of Dr. Cabral's recommendations on the information that he provides, as well as that of myself and our children. My husband refers many people to his podcast and website, and shares the information that he provides every chance that he gets. He is a dentist in Missouri and has become increasingly interested in incorporating more treatment options that functional medicine would agree with, as he greatly trusts Dr. Cabral's advice, knowledge, and experience. I know this may be a long shot, but thought it would be worth asking. Does Dr. Cabral ever schedule to meet with anyone just to discuss the work he does and exchange ideas and information, since he is a wealth of knowledge? More of a laid back conversation, like over lunch or dinner in person, or even FaceTime or Skype? My husband would absolutely love to meet Dr. Cabral, and although I'm sure he is beyond busy, I thought I would reach out and ask, just incase this is something that he does. Thank you so much in advance for your time and consideration. Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral! It has been a long time since I have asked a question here on your podcast. I did ask this question in the facebook group, however, I didn't really get a good answer. I'm hoping you are able to answer my question more in depth. I am without a doubt a kapha bodytype. You posted a picture of Kelly Brook's, and she could be my twin! I have her hair, face shape, eyes, nose, lips, arms, bust, waist, hips and thighs! I have done the 14 day detox and your CBO protocol. Although I am feeling better, I still struggle to lose weight. I need to lose 25 pounds to be heathier. I eat very clean, all organic, drink only water or green juices (never fruit juice). I tried Keto and felt the adrenaline rush, but mentally did not feel good on that diet. I was strict Keto too (high fat and kept carbs under 25). I have been practicing IF for the last year as well. My body does not want to release fat at all, and I'm really getting frustrated. I recently decided to stop IF and to just practice a 80/10/10 RAW Vegan diet. I am eating very high carbs (all from fruits like bananas, watermelon and mangos). I am no longer restricting myself and for the first time, I am actually feeling great! I have endless energy and feel very joyful. Why am I losing weight with high carbs if I am a classic Kapha body type? I feel like I am eating more now than I have ever ate before. Thank you for all your help! My husband is ordering the 5 labs for myself as a gift, and I can not wait to get the results! For the last year I have been on your daily greens/DNS and probiotic support....LOVE them all! Thank you!! Chelsea: Hello, I am interested in getting my constitution confirmed as I have listened to your podcasts and still a little confused about what mine is Thank you Holly: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast. I have been listening to it for the past month now and it has helped me and my husband so much. I was wondering what your opinion on iodine is. How many milligrams a day do we need of this? I am a vegan, and I'm worried that I do not have enough of this in my diet. I don't use iodized salt, can I get it from other Foods? I have heard that it's in seaweed, but that also many of the seaweed products sold have arsenic in them. What do you think? Sophie: Dr. Cabral, My mom has a high platelet count, in the 600-800k range. She is in her 60s, and her Dr. has recommended she goes on hydroxyurea. She doesn't want to to take the drugs, and I'm hoping you can shed some light on what causes high platelet count or some tests and or/protocol she can do to potentially avoid taking the drug. Jacqueline: Hi Dr Cabral! There are no words for the gratitude and respect I have for all you are doing. I am trying to dive deeper into the ways of Ayurveda and am also currently combating bacteria/yeast overgrowth, hormonal imbalance, etc. Currently finishing yoru 14 day detox and starting the CBO plan but have a question for you. Due to inflammation and histamine reactions as well as wanting to follow Ayurveda more closely to aid in healing my body, I can not tolerate and am trying to avoid reheating foods, meal prepping or eating leftovers. All those years of paleo meal prepping when I was in the fitness industry and I had NO idea I was eating "dead" food that was possibly adding toxins into my gut?! I would prep for five days out at some points. On that note I also can not (for some time now) tolerate raw foods/salads without paying for it for several day due to my gut health being so compromised. I pray, hope and look forward to the days of being healed and free of all of this, but I find myself stressing over what to eat where I have never had a problem with this before. What would you advise someone that works outside of the home to do for meals during working hours? I am at a loss? The cafeteria where I work has very limited healthy options aside from a salad bar. There are no cafe/restaurants near by. I am a busy RN and only get 30 min for lunch. I do not want to only have shakes on work days if I can avoid it but is this my only option? I would love your opinion and value it greatly. It's also not possible for me to cook hot food and put it directly into a thermos before work because as of now I get up at 445am , commute one hour and ten min to work and start at 6 30 am. It wouldn't be feasible. Thank you again for all you do. Appreciate your guidance. Forever grateful, Jacqueline Jenna: Hi Dr. Cabral! Love your show and everything you do! I'm writing in on behalf of my boyfriend who has a pyruvate kinase enzyme deficiency with hemochromatosis (sorry that's a mouthful). He's changed his diet to include foods lower in iron and has pretty much eliminated his red meat consumption. He's also changed his lifestyle to routinely going to the gym 4-5 times per week. He used to take medication to keep the condition under control, but because this disease is so rare and the medication has many side effects, he has found more natural and alternative ways to keep himself feeling healthy. My question is, what else can he do to keep himself from slipping into the liver pain and severe inflammation he sometimes feels when symptoms flare up? What can he do to help himself feel healthy all the time? Any advise is appreciated! Thanks so much!

1009: PreNatal Vitamins, Seed Cycling, BP Up, Sleep Stimulator, Split Training, Extreme Fatigue, Bowel Movement Dysfunction (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Taylor: How do I find out more information about the "Wellness Coaching" Dr. Cabral said he is releasing this Fall? I'm interested in that course, where he teaches you how to heal others. I can't find it on the website though. Stephanie: I was wondering if there is anyway to buy the prenatal vitamins with dha by itself and not with the iron supplements? Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral! I enjoy listening to your podcasts. Can you share your thoughts on seed cycling to improve hormones? Does it work? If so, can you explain the best approach? Keven: In November of 2016 I weighed 317 pounds, and was on the standard fat person prescription protocol. In February 2017, I received Type 2 Diabetes news. My dentist suggested plant food diet. I began eating 90% of my diet at Laney&Lu's in Exeter NH--plug them as often as I can. Fast forward to March 2018. I was down to 211. Diet only. Began working out twice a week, walking 8 miles twice a week, and went off the tracks. I had great success with the food, but I did experience constipation, and bloating very often. I am 62, and close to retirement. Job stress is up, as is BP. Back on BP meds only. Somewhere around May I felt the self sabotage setting in. Just read RBE--my dentist suggested--and bells and whistles are going off. Am I to old for your program. Dustin: As an elementary school teacher, I experience a lot of stress and anxiety that has effected my ability to sleep through the night (latency is not an issue). In order to address this, I have started to use a Fisher Wallace Stimulator, which is a form cranial electrotherapy stimulation, for 20 minutes in the evening. If I eat well (my nutrition is great), and address toxicities and deficiencies, do you see this as a helpful/positive health practice? Interested in your perspective on the Fisher Wallace Stimulator in general. Thank you! Ellie: Hi, I’d love to hear your opinion on a training split involving power/explosive workouts! I want to train for power and explosiveness more. I currently have a deadlift day and a squat day (both are full body workouts) and another day that is for MFT training (a third full body workout focused on conditioning). Aside from those 3 days, I have a 4th day when I do hill sprints with a 1:3 work/rest ratio. Could I train for power on hill sprint day, and if so, should I do the hill sprints first or the power workout first? By power workout, I mean doing exercises such as power cleans while sticking to a 1:3 work rest ratio to allow for quality/explosive reps. I am a personal trainer who loves daily movement and your podcasts are such an inspiration to me! I am amazed at your knowledge and your approach to helping others. Thanks so much for caring about the world and everyone in it. Natalie: Hi! I have heard Dr. Cabral mention a certification class he's teaching multiple times. I was wondering how I can get some more information on it! Thank you! Natalie Bell: My dearest friend is experiencing extreme fatigue more in the morning but 3/7 days of the week he says the extreme fatigue lasts all day not even naps will help. He cut out when carbs when he was trying to lose weight 3 years ago, now when has carbs he feels his glucose spike 15-20, 30 minutes after he eats then CRASHES. He exercises regularly (swim, yoga, boxing, biking, lifting) and moves his body every day. He sleeps 7 hrs /night which he says his sleep quality isn’t great. He has tried to manipulate his diet every few weeks, especially his breakfast (plain oats, cooked kale and broccoli, eggs, bullet coffee, fasting, meat) Smoothies in the morning he will feel exhausted like he needs to go to sleep right away stating the protein breaks down too quickly (he’s 28, 140lbs, He says if he drives after lunch he will nod off. His sensitivity is increasing, he was not like this 5 years ago. He says he thinks it might be from coffee so his next adjustment will be elimination of caffeine. (cortisol connection?) “Sometimes not even coffee will wake me up” Where should we start? Do you think adding something like Berberine? Adrenal test? He’s tried thyroid support and a glucose stabilizer. I’m rocking out the CBO protocol! Aloha and mahalo from O’ahu! Shari: I ordered the Food Sensitivity Test early spring. I purchased two tests and gave one to my sister. I took the test and mailed it on July 1 from Port Falls Idaho Fed Ex drop spot. I have not heard anything regarding the test results. I am concerned the test never reached you. Naturally, I cannot find the shipping label. What should I do? thank you. Tammy: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a bit of a TMI question: I have regular bowel movements - one “big” normal one in the morning, and one or two “smaller” and more runny ones during the day. However, I have a feeling that my bowels never fully empty. I also need to pass the wind very often, and sometimes a little bit of fecal matter comes out. Do you think this is a pelvic floor disfunction, or something that has to do with my gut flora? Thanks so much for your help!

1004: Be Careful of How You Set Your Intentions (MM)

When I first learned about the "Law of Attraction" I thought it was a lot of "hocus pocus..." But then I started to read more about it and how this type of setting of intentions had been practiced for thousands of years and even spoken about in every major religion... However, I didn't find it to work very well in my life until I discovered some of the intricacies that aren't talked about in mainstream writing... Everything changed when I incorporated a couple of key principles.

1003: Hiatal Hernia Mystery, Bowel Resection, Supplement Confusion, NDs in Canada, Canned vs. Farmed Salmon, Hemolytic Anaemia, Bed Wetting, Citracidal Drops (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Eliana: Hello, I would first like to say that I absolutely love your Podcasts and everything you have taught me thus far! I am a 21 year old personal trainer who is extremely interested in natural health and this podcast has changed my world! I have been struggling with a hiatal hernia for years. It feels like something is pressed up against my diaphragm or sometimes my left rib cage (it switches between those 2 places so sometimes I wonder if my diaphragm is out rather than it being a hiatal hernia). I have received chiropractic treatment for this and while the manual adjustment of pushing it back into place does help, it does not last. My mom, grandma, and twin sister also struggle with this. I had lymes disease 3-4 years ago (so did mom and sister) and was treated with a combination of homeopathy, Chinese herbs and glandulars by a lymes specialist in Maine. Also had H pylori and Epstein bar and was treated for those coinfections as well. Since then I feel great, had a feeling of relapse a year ago and cut out all food sensitivities. I feel great again but my hiatal hernia comes and goes in long phases. It is back now and I have not noticed any pattern to when it comes and goes. It causes me extreme stress and anxiety, especially at night. Also causes bloat. I have eaten extremely healthy (organic Whole Foods) since I was born thanks to my parents, and I pay attention to deficiencies, eat 3 meals a day, have a smoothie in the morning, fast for 12-13 hours, etc. I also exercise 5 days a week (lifting, cardio, mobility work, etc) and avoid crunching movements due to the hernia. I take zinc, B12, D3, and am a pescatarian/gluten, dairy, corn free, no processed foods, no antibiotics, don’t eat late at night, don’t overeat, eat tons of veggies and fruit. Please let me know what you know and suggest regarding hiatal hernias. Thank you so much! Christie: Good morning. Sorry for the long post but I’m hoping you can help. My mom started with diverticulosis in 2007 and in 2012 it became “moderate” diverticulitis. It got continually worse and then in 2017 she had a bowel resection done. They removed a foot of her colon. Ever since then she has dealt with horrible gas and constipation. She just had endoscopy done a few weeks ago because she felt like things weren’t passing through and the doctor said her stomach was red and inflamed but she does not have h. pylori. She also has Gastroparesis. The doctor then put her on Zantac two times a day for 4 weeks and Miralax at night. She also takes the Beachbody digestive boost. Her doctor has also mentioned putting her on Linzess. She can’t afford testing because my parents are retired and on a limited income so I’m wondering if you think doing a certain protocol would help her without testing first. Can you recommend anything? I would appreciate any suggestions. I’m not happy with how things are going for her and really want to see her healthy again.  Laura: Hi I have a couple of questions. I have only been listening for around a month so I may have just missed this. I haven’t heard dr Cabral talk much about beans and legumes, is the a reason why hey aren’t recommended or not at the top of the list! I’m primarily veggie and eat a lot of veg, however I do like to add lentils, beans or chickpeas to my food to add in protein and other nutrients! I was just interested to find out what your take is on this. Also, I’m going to start a naturopath nutritional therapy course in the UK next month so maybe I will find all this out for myself. However I have taken nutritional supplements before and I use to really be bought into juicing detoxing. However I have read various things that suggests that a supplements can actually shorten your life and aren’t as good as they seem. Also taking butrioanl shakes with condensed nutrients can actually be difficult for your body to digest all at once. For example you would eat a whole meal in a few minutes, therefore how is it ok for your body to process nutritional supplement shakes in such a short amount of time! Thanks Laura Katherine: Hi there, I'm from Windsor, Ontario, Canada and I'm wondering if there is a ND over here that you would recommend? I have benefits through my work that would cover my appointments so that's why I was wondering if Dr. Cabral would recommend someone over here? Thank you so much for your time, Katherine Meg: Hi Stephen, Being located in Australia, I don’t have easy access to wild salmon as all Australian salmon is farmed. Therefore I wanted your advice in regards to the best salmon choices. Would you recommend consuming wild tinned salmon over fresh farmed salmon? Is tinned salmon equally as nutritious? Renae: Hello Dr Cabral, My Mum was diagnosed with hemolytic anaemia a couple of years ago and has been taking pharmaceutical medication daily to manage this. We both believe that there must be a way of finding the root cause and getting to the bottom of it so that she can feel well and be medication free again. Other symptoms she experiences separate from the anaemia are under active thyroid, osteo arthritis, IBS, foggy brain and really bad memory loss. She is only 62. She has tried to improve on things like diet to help herself and has seen a naturopath briefly but has not seen a change in her blood levels or other symptoms. I gratefully discovered your work a few months ago and I am very hopeful that with your advice on what labs she should run and where to start that she can finally find her path to wellness again. In the meantime I have given her a copy of your book. I did write in to your team who recommended the HTMA and OAT (thank you team :)), however given this is not a common auto immune condition I just wanted to be sure if there were any other recommendations you would make. Huge gratitude for your work. Warmest regards, Renae. Julie: Do you have any protocols to address nighttime bed wetting in children? I have read that there may be imbalances or constipation that could cause this, but my pediatrician says it’s normal for boys and he will likely outgrow the issue (6 yr old boy) I have 3 children, 2 no longer had night time issues once potty trained and did not have to be “taught” to make it through the night. Thank you for your insight. I have learned so much from your podcasts already! Julie Brittany: What are gse Citracidal drops?

1002: Breast Implants, Chronic Fatigue, Gastroparesis, Methane Gas, Dry Itchy Skin, Health Coaching Certification, Hidden Stress, Red Marks (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Chloe: Hi Dr Cabral. My question is about the increasing information about breast implant illness. I have had breast implants for nearly 6 years. I have gained weight in this time and I have been increasingly feelings less “vital”. The weight gain could be due to me changing from a very physical job to an extremely sedentary job. My question is have you seen “breast implant illness” in your practice before? I have seen a lot of people on Facebook claiming to be healed once their implants were removed and losing weight and inflammation. They show before surgery and after surgery of their face looking completely different from inflamed to healthy in just a couple of hours after surgery. Can you lab test for silicone in the body? Do you think this is a thing? Or could I just be feeling this way due to toe rainbarrel effect and it could have nothing to do with my implants at all? Thanks in advance and thank you for all the incredible work you do!  Diana: Hello! I've had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 22 years and I'm a bit confused by the terms you use to refer to the ailment. I always thought CFS, CFIDS, and ME were different terms that referred to the same syndrome. However, you seem to use them to refer to different levels of severity. Could you explain why and what the differentiation between them are? Thanks for answering. I love your podcast and am binging on past episodes, but getting through everything seems like a Sisyphean task. I'm not complaining, though; at least I know I'll never run out of episodes to listen to. Best, Diana Mary: Hi there, A friend of mine has been talking about some of Dr. Cabral's recommendations and it sounds interesting. I was wondering where I could find more information on Dr. Cabral’s naturopathic recommendations? Thank you! Mary Kay Sean: Hi, My friend just got diagnosed with gastroparesis after numerous tests and visits to the doctor. I'm wondering if you had more information that i can pass along to her that will help her. thanks! Shantal: I did a huge battery w/ a naturopathic doctor here in SF (SIBO test and GI effects test). I came up with slightly elevated levels of methane gas, high levels of yeast, and low levels of beneficial bacteria. The doctor suggested 2 rounds of primarily homeopathic/herbal meds with 1 antibiotic. I've not taken them yet as I feel I want more direction and guidance than what was given. I've been listening to Dr. Cabral's podcast for months and am curious about working with anyone in his practice. I don't want to do those tests again (eek) but do need more direction from here onward. I went to Europe for a month(just returned last night) and did not have ANY of the inflammation that I do here in the US but my skin was irritated by either the dairy, meat, or heat. Clearly I have much I need guidance on. How do I find more about this, the process to work with someone, and if it's all virtually done (I'm in San Francisco). Thank you and be well... Allison: Hi Stephen! I was hoping to get some information on hormone imbalance. I recently turned 30 and all of a sudden I am noticing a huge change in my skin. Very dry and itch. Especially my face and scalp. We live in the south and have lots of humidity so I feel like this isn’t just because of dry air. My periods have also recently changed. More painful cramps and it’s now 5 or 6 days instead of 4. I’m wondering if these symptoms could be a change of hormones and if I should get tested for a hormone imbalance. Do you do anything like that? Any help is much appreciated! Julie: Can I get information about signing up for this September's health coaching certification? Also, are there appointments available with one of the coaches to help me determine my dosha body type? Thank you, I have been enjoying listening to podcasts and am learning much. Julie Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral, Love your podcast and all the content. I am currently reading The Rain Barrel Effect right now and love that too. I do have a question for you that I cannot seem to get to the bottom of. I currently live in San Francisco, CA but I am originally from Portland, OR. Every single time I go home to Portland (5-6 times a year), the weirdest thing happens. I get SO extremely tired, fatigued, major brain fog and sometimes anxiety. It baffles me because when I go home I eat pretty much the same way I would when I am in SF, drink lots of water, drink the same amount of coffee, work out the same etc. I do get more sleep when I go to Portland (catch up on sleep) so I may be getting 9-10 hours instead of 6-8, but usually when I am in SF I'll catch up on sleep at least one night on the weekend as well and I don't feel this way. It feels as if there is literally something in the water that's making me feel this way (I did some research - SF has fluoride in the water while Portland does not so not sure if that would make a difference at all?!?)

999: Do This Before Changing Your Diet (WW)

One thing I’ve realized after being in practice for many years is that every person that comes to see you may be at a slightly different stage of their willingness to make a change in their life… This means as a practitioner it’s our job to meet people where they’re currently at to enable them to begin to make their way up the healing ladder... And since a persons diet and nutrition is one of the most important things that an individual needs to get right in order to heal their body or achieve any of their health and fitness goals it makes sense to customize that based on the person across from you...

998: The 6 Stages of the Disease Process (Ayurvedic Principle) (TWT)

One of the most interesting and baffling discoveries in modern medicine is how a 6000-year-old system of healing could have known so much… The truth is that Ayurvedic Medicine had already outlined the disease process in great detail many thousands of years ago… The problem is that in our Western medicine mindsets we often only look at the last two stages where the disease manifestation is already apparent...

997: How to Eliminate Your Bad Days & Begin Loving Life Again (MM)

I think everyone is entitled to having a bad day... The problem I have is seeing people string many of those bad days together and believing this is a normal way to live life...

996: Father's Health Issues, HSA, RA & Detox, Thyroid Hormone Replacement, Declining Adult Life, Muscle Gain Program (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Sacha: Hello! I wanted to reach out for my father who has been dealing with some serious health issues which haven't been properly diagnosed. He began having cardiac issues years ago, however in the last few years has had significant weight loss, impaired memory, slow movements, fatigue, foggy brain, digestion issues, visual impairments in which he recently had cataract surgery which we are now finding out went wrong and there are calcium deposits. Along with all these issues he also has resting tremors in his hands and lips. He's been to numerous dr's, specialists and all can't seem to properly diagnose him. His testosterone and free test. labs are extremely low, and his cortisol was only taken fasted in the am so I am unsure about those results. I am in desperate need of a functional medicine dr to see him asap and I wanted to know what if it would be possible to bring him to the clinic or if you could refer someone in NJ/NYC. I suspect that he has heavy metal toxicity as well as gut/digestion issues. Please let me know if you could assist us with his case as I do not want to take him to a random functional medicine practitioner. Best, Sacha Tom: Do you take insurance or can I use a HSA account for payment. I am interested in going to functional medical provider. Thank you Laimute: Hello, I would like to ask you about rheumatoid arthritis. My mum has rheumatoid arthritis for many years. A year ago she gave up with meat, dairy products, white flour, sugar. I'm going to take her to India for 15 days panchakarma treatment as I've heard that it would help her to get rid of toxins that causes arthritis followed by a natural ayurvedic medicines for up to a year. My question is what is the different between panchakarma and Dr. Cabral detox as both of them clean toxins from the body? Also would you suggest anything else to add to treat rheumatoid arthritis along with panchakarma treatment Many thanks Elizabeth: Hi, thank you for all the information you are providing me in your podcast. I have a question about life after thyroidectomy. I had Graves’ disease a decade ago followed by thyroidectomy. A biopsy of the thyroid showed that it was cancerous. The surgeon shrugged, and said “no big deal”. I was then put on Thyroxine, because I now have hypothyroidism, which only replaces T4. I am wondering if T3 should also be replaced. I have talked about it with my endocrinologist a couple times, and she feels like this would be “speed“ for my system, therefore does not think it would be appropriate. I think her reasoning for not putting me on T3 is the arrhythmias I continue to experience status post thyroidectomy. I am using magnesium oil, and have been using it regularly for at least the last six months at bed time without noticeable change in the arrhythmias. So my questions are these, in your opinion should I talk to my physician again about replacing T3, and is there any specific dietary recommendations you have for someone who has had a thyroidectomy, or should I just follow recommendations for someone with hypothyroidism?  John: Dear Dr. Cabral and Staff: I would like to work with your firm in whatever capacity we ultimately deem appropriate. That is my question, where do I start? I was contemplating starting with testing but in the end I am ultimately willing to enroll in a full service "Concierge" approach. My known issues are these: I have been clinically diagnosed as suffering from minor depression (one Dr. called it dysthymia), I have been diagnosed as having adult ADD, I suffer from fatigue and have trouble sleeping. My version or view of it is that I have a hard time focusing, I constantly have fatigue, I suffer from anxiety or depression and I do not sleep well. I must add that I am a 55 Year Old Male, Married, am a Self-Employed C.P.A that is on the run all the time. So, which tests do I start with? The Big Five? Do I go through a different process? Thanks for your direction. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, John Andrew: Hello Dr C, I listened to your interview on the Ben Greenfield podcast and was perusing your site - really cool as I am in your neck of the woods.... I am curious if you have studied any of the following training programs/systems:NeuroMass by Jon Bruney, Body by Science - Doug Mcguff, X3 Bar - Dr. John Jaquish If not I will do my best to encapsulate so I can get to my questions. I like all these because they allow for a very good, all-around, strength with conditioning workout in minimal time and with little or no equipment. Though Body by Science is usually done with specific workout machines, there are supposed versions online done with bodyweight. You may know Body by Science promotes a single super-slowly executed multi-set workout of high intensity across several exercises maybe once per week. Key is time under tension. NeuroMass packages similar super-slow sets with a dyanmic/power set and isometric set. Neuromass says to do these 4x/week but can adjust to more like 2x per week. Interestingly 2x Realfit champion Alex Fergus used a version of this just 1x/week with 1 set of each exercise to win Realfit. The X3 bar is a product that promises great increase in muscle mass with just 10 minutes daily based on the benefits of variable force using high strength rubber bands.My goals are to build functional strength for longevity in an efficient way without needing lots of equipment. I guess the idea would be to work on type iib muscle fiber.I like the idea of serious-training as little as once a week, provided you are getting movement in on other days and other lighter exercise, perhaps an occasional HIIT workout. Intuitively the idea of combining slow, fast and iso exercise would seem to perhaps most comprehensively train the body, but I am not sure if there is evidence to support. The X3 bar seems to have some studies that show its method greatly increases muscle. I am a little concerned that daily training might be too much (even if body focus changes between workouts) and also the possibility that the workout increases IGF (? not sure if it does) may negatively correlate to overall longevity. Maybe all work in there own way? Thoughts?

995: Detox Benefits, WholeSale, Sauna Heat Levels, MTHFR Gene, Appendicitis, Health School Advice, Safe Shaving Cream, Seed Cycling, Skype Consults (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Janice: I heard your podcast with Ben Greenfield. Have you had any success using detox approach to overcome symptoms of Parkinson disease? Can you help me? I am 64. Christinna: Dear Stephen I just wanted to ask, when you start to send to Europe, will it ever be possible for me to buy a lot of some of your detox and other good stuff. I have a Health Coach clinic in Denmark and i would be so greatful if i could give my clients all of your produkt, the all in one, i dont trust any other than you. Are there any way this could be possible? Kind regard Christinna Sean: Dr. Cabral, I've been interested in the health benefits of the Sauna for a while and would like to know if I should purchase a Infrared or a heat based sauna. I listened to your podcast 524 and am familiar with that JAMA study you referenced. However, I think you misrepresented that study. It was solely based on Heat sauna's not Infrared. Specifically they state: Our results of hot Finnish sauna bathing with a mean temperature of 79°C cannot be directly applied to steam rooms, hot tubs, and some other types of saunas, which may operate at lower temperatures than a typical Finnish sauna and do not allow pouring water on the rocks. I know there are benefits from infrared but infrared saunas don't get close to 79 degrees C (174 Farenheit) Can you comment on this and do you know of any studies comparing Infrared and Heat saunas? Thanks Janelle: Hi Dr Cabral, Im just needing help I dont know where to start as there are so many different stories protocol etc etc I have Lupus Fibromyalgia and now just found out I have the MTHFR gene x2 I honestly just dont know what protocol I should do there is Vegan low protein keytone intermittent fasting plant based etc etc all these protocols people say fix autoimmune im just so confused and i keep getting worse any information would be great. Regards Janelle Judy: Can you please address appendicitis and its relation to inflammation? Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast - it is really the only podcast I listen to on a regular basis. I'm a health coach and am always learning new things and able to dive deeper with my clients because of your information. Thank you! I have two questions (I hope that's ok) I have been considering studying naturopathy for some time but also have read the textbooks by Dr. Vasant Lad and feel very connected to Ayurveda. I was curious if you had any advice for a young mother of two kids (ages 5&2) who wants to further her career. Is becoming an Ayurvedic Practitioner something you think will be a wise investment or if I am wanting some more financial stability, would it be better to invest in 4-5 years of studying naturopathic medicine. I realize both are enormous financial/time commitments, so I'm just trying to choose the best path. Any advice would be appreciated - also would love to know about any programs you might be able to recommend. My family is full of allopathic doctors, so their advice (while well intentioned) is pretty one sided. Ok, second question, I am curious to know what you think of Medical Medium? I know you are always a very positive person and make a point to not go on your podcast and offer criticism of anyone/anything - I appreciate that about you! I really love how Medical Medium has gotten so many people excited about healing by eating fruits and veggies. It's awesome! But I was curious if you could speak about the idea he shares that thyroid disfunction is typically caused by "thyroid virus" aka Epstein-Barr virus. Thank you again for all you do - really respect your work and willingness to share this information with the world. I honestly don't know how you have the time to make a podcast everyday alongside running your businesses and having a family. It is inspiring and honestly a little mind boggling, ha. Thank you! Jen Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral, Is there a safer shaving cream that we should be using or are drug stores brands okay? Thank you so much!! Judy: I recently heard that seed cycling can help balance hormones. What are your thoughts on seed cycling and what are your recommendations with regard to how to use seeds for this purpose? Jana: Hi Dr. Cabral, My name is Jana and I found you on Melissa Ambrosini podcast Vegan Done Right and I was fascinated. I am vegan for 15 years and everything you said resonated with me. I don't know if you personally read these messages but I hope this gets to you. My husband and I are so passionate about health and wellbeing and we try to constantly educate ourselves in order to feel best. We don't go to regular doctors and although we try to eat and live healthily we sometimes are not sure if we are doing it right and if we have some definitions that we are not aware. Being healthy is very important to us especially now trying to get pregnant. Is there a way how I can schedule a skype consultation with you? I was looking into your tests and I am not sure which one do I need to take. Please let me know if you provide some type of phone consultation first before ordering the tests. I would love to talk to you and hear your professional advice. Thank you so much  Liana: Hi there, I think a great podcast topic would be the harms of plastics as well on how to go plastic free (or at least try to) in response to the plastic free movement. I’m surprised not enough people are aware of the harms to our health and environment Kind regards, Liana Cindy: I’m doing Amanda Tress’s program.

993: There Is No Escaping These Toxins (What to Do) (TT)

My goal has never been to share a topic that may cause a lot of worry in people unless there is an antidote... This is exactly the case when it comes to toxins and their inescapability in the modern world... You're simply not going to be able to isolate yourself from the heavy metals, plastics, VOCs, flame retardants, phthalates, PCBs, EMFs, and other pollutants... This is why I believe it's important you don't deny their existence, but instead prepare yourself for how to properly block, filter and remove them in order to keep yourself healthy and strong...

992: Are You Experiencing MOLD Toxicity Symptoms? (WW)

One of the biggest overlooked health conditions affecting millions of unsuspecting people each day is mold toxicity... The reason I say "unsuspecting" is because mold spores can grow in any unventilated or moist environment and be invisible to the naked eye... Plus, dozens of foods can contain toxic levels of mold that blend right into food and go unnoticed when consumed...

I'm not sure about you, but if there's a way I can continue to improve myself and achieve a greater level of happiness in my life I'm all for it! This is why I continue to do research into the field of psychology in order to understand why some people seem to live lives that most people would be envious of...

989: Lip Rash, CBO Diet, Thyroidectomy, MTHFR Genes, Interstitial Cystitis, Detox Alternatives, Poor Absorption, Starting Slow, Achalasia (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Laura: Hello Dr. Cabral, I'm hoping you can help me. I get this lip rash every now and then, starting in 2016. Each time I was told it was contact dermatitis and given predisone, and I was fine. Since then, I've been very careful of what I put on my face. It would still flare up minimally in 2017, so I as prescribed Desonide cream, which I don't like putting on my lips. I have also been using hydrocoristone ointment as a lip balm since 2016, but not in the past few months. 2 weeks ago, this rash flared up badly again, and I refuse to take any sort of medication, or any topical steroids, as I want to get over it naturally. It's been going on for 2 weeks and I'm at a loss. I had a allergy patch testing done - no results. I am vegan (since 2017) and gluten free (since 2017). I don't eat refined sugar and I'm heavily plant based. My lips are incredibly itchy, almost unbearably, several times during the day. I think it starts overnight/in the morning, I always know it's going to be bad when I wake up with swollen lips. I haven't changed anything in months (skincare, detergent, etc., and everything I use is natural) so I'm pretty sure it's not a contact allergy. They're itchy and dry constantly, so much so that it's hard to eat, because they itch when anything, even food, touches them. The only thing that's been different in my life the last 2 weeks is that I've been taking it really easy in my daily Bikram yoga practice due to a shoulder overuse injury (nothing serious, but I've been unable to do the normal backbending, chest/neck stretching postures I normally do). But it definitely starts with the swollen lips in the morning, and sometimes I notice it in the middle of the night. It's not my pillowcase or laundry detergent. What could be causing my lips to swell overnight? Ashley: Hi Dr.Cabral, I have taken the OAT test twice and I've been working with a naturopath for the past year trying to get rid of all of my bacteria imbalances. I have overgrowths of Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic (27), Arabinose (79), Tricarballylic (.56), Hippuric (884), 4-Hydrobenzoic (2.7), DHPPA (1.1) and 4-Cresol (76). I feel like they're almost gone and I would like to do your 21 day detox to clean out my blood and reset my hormones and I'd also like to do the intestinal cleanse and the gut protocol. What order do I need to do these in for best results? Can I do them all at once? How long will it take to seal my gut back up? Do I need to stay on a diet without any coffee, alcohol, dairy, grains, beans and seeds for 6 months (am I allowed to stray from this at all?) I already follow a mostly plant based diet with smoothies in the morning, vegetarian lunches and at dinner i usually have high quality fish or meat with lots of veggies but I do love my pizza and wine once in a while. I am so excited to get started and can't wait to hear what you have to say! Thank you so much for everything you do, I love listening to all of your advice. Elizabeth: I’m wondering if you’ve ever worked with people that do not have a thyroid. Mine was removed because of uncontrollable hyperthyroidism, and after removal it was found I had thyroid cancer. If you have addressed this in a podcast, can you direct me to the one I should listen to? Pamela: Do you deal with anyone MTHFR positive both Gene copies of a1298c & c677t, who has Lyme disease and autistic? Any protocols to assist with detox, methalatukn, & focus, concentration. My son's diet is preserative free, corn free, gluten free, no HFCS, no dyes, & low sugar. Use of hemp & CBD oil & also colloidal silver. Some use of an infrad red sauna Tara: Hi Dr Cabral! My friend was diagnosed with Interstitial cystitis several years ago. She was told to eliminate acidic foods, which helped, and she regularly was seeing a naturopath who put her on a strict diet. She’s also having up to about 20 different naturopathic pills a day, and although she has seen improvement in the past few years, her symptoms seem to be recently returning. I was hoping you could recommend certain lab tests, or she’d light on what could be a root cause of this. It’s not something that runs in her family. Thank you! Ida: Hi! I will buy your book and starting 21-day seasonal detox. Is it possible to follow your detox plan with local food products and supplements? Do you give any alternative recommendations in the plan? I live in Finland and we have great functional medicine supplements and nutrient powders but I just wonder if the plan is stictly based on your products. You are one of my biggest inspirations and teachers in my way to functional medicine nutritionist! Love, Ida Imogene: Hi Dr Cabral. I'm so thankful to have discovered you - thank you for all you have done for me so far, I love soaking up your knowledge i am now considering a future as a wellness coach! I'm 27, 62 kilos, 165cms and a trainee clinical pilates instructor (English living in Perth Australia). I was diagnosed with Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis almost 1 year ago after trying for a baby for a year prior, and have this year undergone fertility treatment (2 x ICSI cycles -as my husband has 26% fragmented DNA in his sperm + 3 months of Zolodex) I'm now on a contraceptive pill with no breaks until we can (afford to) go ahead with embryo transfers (we have 4 day 5 blastocysts in the freezer). Prior to this diagnosis, I always had regular periods, however I have spent a good 10 years of my life on a contraceptive pill which help to mask the symptoms of Endo. After trying for a while my hormones were tested on day 21 and the GP said my results were normal. This lead to a hycosy which showed I had clear fallopian tubes, which lead to an MRI that eventually showed i have DI Endo and involvement in the bowel. I was told by the first specialist to have surgery to have it all removed and I'd also need prt of my bowel removed. I saw a second professor who gave an alternate option without surgery for now. I have had acne skin problems forever and am realising a link between poor gut health and digestion issues and believe this is all linked to the fertility issues we've been having. I have always been a very bloated person with poor digestion and tummy issues (constipation, stomach sensitivity, cramping etc). I had a lot of antibiotics as a child and prolonged periods of antibiotics for skin treatment in my teens, recurrent tonsilitis and glandular fever and was always the sick kid. I also suffer from what I believe to be Myofascial Pain syndrome following an accident I had in 2015 which I have since treated with massage, regular physio dry needling (twice weekly) and clinical pilates every day. It affects my quality of life and ability to work. I went vegan at the start of the year and initially felt great but recently i feel so fatigued and flat and need to nap during the day and struggle to get out of bed before 9am - It's been hard to know if it's been the diet, or the medication I have been taking for fertility treatment but I don't feel like I'm thriving despite my healthy diet and want my body in a great place for when we go ahead with the transfers. I recently saw a naturopath and have gone ahead with a bacteria/culture test (stool) and a Ubiome gut test which I'm yet to get the results - but upon listening to your podcasts I'm not sure this is comprehensive enough for me to really be informed moving forward. What would you recommend I do to move forward? My goals are to reduce or eliminate my chronic pain, fall pregnant and feel energised. I know your big on testing and data so we can make informed decisions but I'm not sure which other tests are necessary for me. My naturopath put me on gluten free diet for my endo and curcumin tablets to reduce inflammation. I also take folic acid, Wellco super elixir green powder, wellco chocolate protein powder, the beauty chef glow powder and collagen tonic and their sleep powder. I have berries, hemp hearts, flax seeds, chia seeds, coconut oil, raspberries, blueberries, bananas, greens and generally a wide variety of nuts, seeds, pulses, vegetables and fruits in my diet. I'm also eliminating chemicals and toxins where possible, shop at the local farmers market, cleared all chemicals from my house, reducing plastics, use organic deodorant, toothpaste you name it! I think my body is just not absorbing the goodness I'm putting in! Please help. Cheryl: I was thinking about ordering the daily protocol and had a question. My daughter has had problems in the past with taking multi vitamins. Her knee’s, elbows and thighs turn bright red and it takes a few hours to go away after taking a Benadryl. Would it be safe her to take all the item in the protocol? She is 20 years old and only weights around 100 lbs Thank you Michael: Hi Stephen, I have been diagnosed with achalasia type I. I am now waiting to get surgery. P.O.E.M surgery actually. I heard your podcast with Ben Greenfield and figured I'd contact you to see what you might be able to recommend if anything at all. Do you do skype consultations for example?

988: Stunted Growth, a Fresh Start, Reflux, Thyroid Meds, Carnivore Diet, Stomach Problems, Vegan Detox, Antibiotic Overload, Anti-Anxiety Relief (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Kay-lee: Good morning, I have a question which could be a strange one? My son is 24 years old and has only reached my height which is 162cm and I am wondering if there is any chance that he can grow a litttle more? He's father is 180cm. He is a fit and healthy young man the problem is that he is in the army and there are times when that extra height would be so welcome. Look forward to your reply Kind Regards Kay-lee Grace: Hi, I’ve been an on and off binge eater for many years. Something has finally clicked in me over the past few weeks and I’ve been able to break that cycle. I still struggle with daily heartburn, chest pain, and bloating though. It happens mainly after I eat. I don’t know if that’s due to my many years of treating my body poorly. I’ve tried eliminating certain foods before (I follow a vegan diet) to see if that would change anything and it hasn’t. What do you recommend I should do to fix this problem? Do you recommend your 7-day detox to start fresh and give my body a restart? Or should I start taking some supplements like gut support, digestive enzymes, probiotic, etc. to help? Thank you so much for your help! James: I have acid reflux and taking medication for it presently. When I stop the medication I get weak nausea and throw up. How do I go about getting off the medication and heal the acid reflux. Janice: My 81 year old mother has thyroid issues and is on meds but still doesn't feel well.  She is very foggy headed, is always tired and has splitting nails, thinning hair, slower gait, cold numb hands, no energy, trouble conversing, however she is not overweight.  The doctors think she may have early Parkinsons but she has no shakes and the Parkinson meds don't help at all.  She thinks it is all thyroid related but her thyroid #s are good with her meds so they won't test further.  Would your thyroid test help uncover potential thyroid related issues that standard testing won't pick up?  If so - can she take it while being on thyroid meds or will the meds alter your test results? Anna: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been listening to your podcast for a while and have really enjoyed learning about diet and nutrition as part of a holistic, healthy lifestyle. My husband has recently heard about the "carnivore diet" from a podcast by Joe Rogan with Jordan Peterson and has gotten really interested in it. Essentially, they say you eat only meat and end up losing weight and getting rid of symptoms of allergies, anxiety, and depression. I am weary of it because my husband also has a history of heart disease in his family, especially on his dad's side, so the thought of him eating only red meat definitely freaks me out. I wanted to ask if you have heard of this "carnivore diet" and what your thoughts on it are. I am an advocate for a well-rounded diet full of micro and macronutrients, including all different colors of food, but I also get the feeling that everybody is different, so there is not one diet that works for everyone. I'd love to hear about your thoughts on all this in a podcast. Thanks, Anna Megan: I have had stomach problems since college and I am 34 now. I went to scott and white in Temple and had endoscopies colonoscopies catscans etc and nothing came up. They diagnosed me with IBS with constipation at the time. Years later I had a friend with similar issues have her gallbladder removed after it died inside of her. I had mine tested and they said it was only working at 75% and would only get worse so they removed it. Looking back I wish I wouldn't have but that was before I started educating myself about eastern medicine. Before my gallbladder was removed I threw up alot, especially when eating fried foods, because nothing would digest. My mother took me to the dr everytime I sneezed as a child so was constantly on antibiotics which I now realize was really bad. I take probiotics and enzymes now and eat healthy 80/20. From listening to the podcast I believe something is going on with my small intestine because thats where it hurts and I consistently am in pain and bloated which I can control some what with diet (juice in the morning, tea, lots of greens, etc.) and exercise and detox baths, but if I slip at all I feel terrible. I went to a lady who did biofeedback on me which is frequency based and she said I have EBV and because of that my immune system is weak. With all that being said I know I need to have tests run I was just wanting advise on which ones and which order and if there is any protocol I should start now or mulitple protocols I should do, or just wait for the tests and the results. I have spent alot of money on tests and supplements etc. and really would love if I can figure out what is actually wrong so that I can concentrate on it specifically instead of blindly trying different things. Leanne: the 7 day weight loss program supportive of a vegan diet?  Alexandra: Hi there, A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with Lymmes. It had since been treated with strong antibiotics but I still don’t feel 100% well. I bought your book a couple of months ago and have read it from cover to cover! I am based in London so what tests would you advise I have done & do you have any affiliates in U.K.? Kind regards Alexandra Jennifer: Hi there- I take a few anti-anxiety medications and prolixin an antipsychotic, (that I take for anxiety and ptsd,) and I’m wondering if Dr. Cabral could help me get off this medications in a healthy way that stabilizes me and reduces my anxiety naturally. Does he do things like this? The medication has also caused some weight gain and I’m looking to create overall balance and wellness in my body mind and spirit. Let me know if he’d be a good fit for what I’m looking for.

983: How to Use the "Law of Expectancy" to Attract All You Desire In Life (MM)

It's time we take what was once considered "New Age" psychology and bring it into the mainstream by demystifying its power... After working with tens of thousands of people I can now see why there are those people with minor ailments that can never get themselves well, while others with life-threatening illnesses can make miraculous recoveries... Although I don't believe you can simply wish for what you want in life and see it appear, I do believe new "programs" need to be written by you that will allow you to take the proper actions in sequence in order to get your intended outcome...

982: Bladder Infection, Mystery Digestive Issues, Low Carb Re-feeding Meal, Candida Testing, Missing Periods, Huntington's Disease (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Lisa: I have A new challenging situation. I gave up coffee approximately one year ago and started drinking hot herbal green tea. Some caffeinated some not. I also drink a lot of hot lemon water. I drink a lot of hot drinks because my hands are cold. About a month ago I started having frequent urination feelings in my bladder. Pressure but hard to urinate. No bladder infection that I’m aware of. I have a eliminated hot tea and reduced the lemon water but it is still there and very uncomfortable. It appears to show up later in the day as it is not there when I first awake. Any ideas? Thank you!  Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently discovered your podcast and I’ve been loving it. Your approach to health and wellness is very refreshing. I’ve followed a vegan diet for the past four years. Lots of vegetables, fruits, grains, and some nuts and seeds. I’ve suffered with heartburn, chest pain, bloating, and tiredness after I eat for a long time. Going vegan has improved the symptoms a lot, but they haven’t completely gone away. I usually never get symptoms after breakfast. It’s mainly after lunch or dinner. I’ve tried eating smaller meals throughout the day and that didn’t really help. I’ve tried eliminating known triggers like tomatoes, garlic, onions, citrus fruits, soy, corn, gluten, and cruciferous vegetables but that didn’t help either. I still can’t seem to pinpoint what the problem is or what food is the root cause. It’s weird because I’ll eat a meal one day and feel totally fine and then I eat the same meal another day and I get the symptoms. I don’t really know where to go from here, so if you had any suggestions or recommendations that would be great. Thanks so much for all your help! Laura Lisa: Hello Dr Cabral. I have been doing a low carb diet for sometime now which has kept me at a good weight. I am not fat but I would really like to get more tone and build some muscle. I was told carb cycling is a great way to build muscle and lean out but I fear putting carbs back into my diet may bloat me. What’s your take on carb cycling and have you seen results with this on someone who has followed a low car diet for so long. Demet: Hi. I am emailing from Australia and i have come across Dr. Stephen Cabral from a podcast that i have recently listened to. I have been battling with chronic health issues for quite a long time now and i am in a very dark place at the moment with no proper answers and treaments. I have been to countless practitioners/ naturopaths about my SIBO, severe candida overgrowth, chronic constipation (1-2 bowel movements p/w), lots of gut related issues, PCOS, Amennorhea, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Bipolar disorder, depression anxiety and other mental health challenges. I have tried so many different things and protocols, supplements etc but nothing has lasted long term. I am started to become frightened at the idea that i may not be able to have some quality of life. mind due i am only a 26 year old female. I am really losing hope and i feel extremely overwhelmed about all the conflicting information out there and really need some guidance and support. I believe that my digestive system is the 1st place to begin however i am very reluctant to try any other product or protocol again. I would like to find out more information on the Candida and Bacterial overgrowth cleanse protocol. How does it work? Do i need to work with a practitioner in order use it? What if it doesn't resolve my issues? Do the supplements contain animal products or alcohol? Can you ship to Australia, if so, how long would it take and what about the preservation of the probiotics? I am also chronically constipated and have only 1-2 bowel motions per week, would this protocol help with that? I would truly appreciate your clarity on all of my questions. kindest regards, Demet. Ida: Hi! I’m 23 years old woman and have had a long anorexia in my teens. Due to I’m living healthy and I have balanced weight I haven’t gotten my periods back. The sad story is that I have had periods only once in my lifetime and I’m quite worried about it. Can you recommend some lifestyle/diet changes or tests? Lisa: I’m writing on behalf of a friend who has Huntington’s. (Huntington’s disease is a fatal hereditary neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by progressively worsening motor, cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric symptoms). He is in Stage 1, confirmed by genetic testing. He is 55, overall heathy lifestyle (no smoking, drinking). Diet is Standard American Type Diet. No regularly exercise. I believe he is open to specific supplementation IF it came from a credible doctor such as yourself or research studies but I haven’t found anything. Is there anything, other than the Nutritional Daily Support and Daily Fruit/Veggie Blend that would help him? Would you recommend any tests? Whatever you say I will share with the family and or have them listen to this podcast. Thank you Dr. Cabral.

981: Neck Pain, Child OCD, Supplement Suggestions, Candida Foods, Brain Injuries, Iodine & Hashimoto's, IBS Doctor, RA Detox (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Amanda: Hi Dr Cabral. I have been dealing with nerve pain in my neck. When the pain is the worst, it feels like my neck is on fire. I started with physical therapy and then started going to the chiropractor. He did an X-ray and said my neck is curving the wrong way, so the nerves are protecting my neck which is causing the pain. I’ve also tried working out, yoga, getting massages and have adjusted how I sit at work. The adjustment once a week (I can’t afford to go more than that) is no longer helping. The whole process has been going on for two years and I’m getting very frustrated that I’ve seen no improvement. I don’t know what to do, do you have any recommendations? Madeleine: Hi Dr. Cabral Someone told me about your podcast recently, and I'm feeling hopeful (for the first time) that maybe there is a solution. My 9 year old son has always had high anxiety and has been a little funny about germs and certain sensory things (he will not eat meat that is touching a bone). This past year, however, he has started exhibiting more severe signs of OCD including intrusive and unwanted thoughts. He has always been a negative thinking kid, too (just for more background). Background on his health: He had a typical delivery, but I was unable to breastfeed so he did not have any breastmilk or colostrum. He did have antibiotics and vaccines, but not excessively. He had mono when he was 5 that was misdiagnosed for the first 2 months. He has always had very bad allergies. He has those dark circles under his eyes where he looks like he has a black eye. About 3 months ago we removed his tonsils and adenoids (his allergies have been significantly better), and they have mostly disappeared and his allergies are so much better. Also, about the same time his OCD kicked into gear he developed a stereotypy. Whenever he gets excited he balls his fist in front of his crotch and tenses...when it's really intense he wiggles his hands. The doctors have called it primary complex motor stereotypy and said it's nothing to worry about. I find it distressing, but not nearly as disturbing as his intrusive OCD thoughts and anxiety. Finally, as a last piece of the puzzle his younger brother has had a severe stereotypy since he was 2 years old. It sometimes develops into a very complex set of motions that resemble tics. He also makes a repetitive vocal sound when doing his stereotypy (sort of like a machine gun but higher) We did a gluten free, casein free, soy free, processed sugar free diet with few processed foods (cassava flour, brown rice flour, almond butter were the primary parts) for 5 weeks and saw a reduction in my younger sons tics/stereotypy but they did not go away. My older son had no change. Now we're very low dairy, lower gluten (bread once or twice a week), and still few processed foods but more than before. My youngest sons tics are getting worse again, and my oldest sons OCD/intrusive thoughts are terrible. He is inhibiting his movements because he knows they bother me (although I try not to show it) . FInally my actual question - do you have protocol for kids? Does he have a diet restriction list/plan with it? Is it the Candida protocol I should go for? Or would i need to schedule an appointment? Thanks for reading - I'm so desperate to help them and I do not want to medicate my older son for OCD. Doctors say there is nothing to be done for the stereotypy but I feel like there might be a cause.  Carlos: What is the recommended daily dose of HEALTHY BELLY to help eradicate h pylori? How many capsule per day and should they be taken while fasted? Cassi: Hi Dr. Cabral - thank you so much for the time and dedication you take to getting so much information out! I am currently on the CBO protocol and following your diet plan. However, my friend is a nutritionist and received her degree from Bastyr University, which is highly regarded in the "naturopathic world" and I know you have mentioned this university on your podcasts before as well. She send me the candida diet plan from Bastyr, which she was taught during school. My question comes from this - the diet plan seems to be almost completely different from yous and I'm curious why. What are your thoughts on this? For example, they highly recommend garlic stating, "Garlic has been found to have anti-Candida activity. Use freely in food and cooking, or consider taking a garlic supplement." The vegetable recommends onions, cabbage & cauliflower freely. The food recommendation included apples and pears and says to limit bananas, mangoes and pineapple. Of course everyone agrees on no alcohol & refined sugars. Can you explain why your diet recommendation has come to be so different? I'm curious to understand to help me formulate my long-term diet to maintain the best results. Thank you again!! Ariana: Hi dr Cabral, My boyfriend suffered a traumatic brain injury ( concussion) about 4 years ago and hasn’t even able to recover. He’s tried anti depressants and they either made it worse, or did nothing at all. He had MRIS done and his neck and back are not injured. Before the concussion, he was on anti biotics for 1 year and Acutane. As a child, he was on anti biotics for a year and had a tube in his ear I believe because of recurring ear infections. After discovering your podcast I figured he probably had Candida overgrowth. He’s currently doing your CBO protocol but says it makes him feel worse. He tried EFT tapping and meditation to no avail. He is hopeless, and I really wish I could help him but I am out of ideas. Kristin: Hi There, I am looking for a little direction and advise. I think it is best to give you a little background info. I have had a shortened menstrual cycle my whole life every 2-3 weeks. When I was about 25/26 I figured out that if I take vitamin D3 my menstrual cycle tends to even out and is closer to a 28-day cycle. I am now 40 years old. At 35 got pregnant for the first time. The baby had mosaic Edwards Syndrom and because of multiple deformities and "markings" with brain/heart/facial structure, we chose to end the pregnancy. It was a very hard time both physically and emotionally. Fast forward a year, we were having problems getting pregnant again so my doctor ran some blood tests. My TSH was at 39.48 mcIU/mL, tested again 4 weeks later and it was down to 8.57 mcIU/mL & Free T4 was 1.0ng/dL. A couple of days later, I found out that I was pregnant for the second time. My doctor put me on Levothyroxine and we didn't look any further into my Thyroid because keeping my numbers in range was important for my pregnancy. During my pregnancy, I had gestational diabetes, was on insulin a little later on in the pregnancy and I had a circumvallate placenta, which I believe is unrelated. I was induced a week early and we now have a 20-month-old happy, healthy boy. In that 3 year span, my body went through a lot hormonally. After my second pregnancy, I was tested for autoimmune markers and found that I had Hashimoto's. I am still on Levothyroxine and my primary care physician seems to have no interested in helping me navigate getting off of it, or giving me nutritional guidance. We have made the decision to try for a second baby. Very exciting and very scary for me at this time. I am 40, am a Personal Trainer & Manage 2 gym locations. My energy hasn't ever gotten back to where it should be since my first pregnancy. My son is now old enough and has been sleeping through the night since 6mos... I feel like I should have bounced back by now. Current symptoms that I have: Feeling tired, Brain fog, Sometimes puffiness, Achy Joints, Throat irritation - almost like it is hard to swallow - it is hard to describe the feeling. Sometimes a burning mouth/tingling tongue I've been trying to figure out if all of these symptoms are from being busy and unable to workout and take care of myself as well as I would like at this time or if my hormones/thyroid are out of whack. Would love some advice & direction on a few things: I am the sole provider for my family and we are on a pretty strict budget at this time. Where would you suggest I start in attempts at getting my system balanced and feeling good. I am confused about iodine & Hashimoto's. Chlorella & Spirulina are great for removing heavy medals but aren't you suppose to avoid if you have Hashimoto's? If I do become pregnant soon, would focusing one a healthy, plant-based diet be my best bet? Are there foods that you would suggest I avoid? Ok... lots of questions and probably too much info but I am loving all of your podcasts and your philosophy really aligns with my personal approach to health and wellness. Thanks so much for your time. Yours in health, Kristin Kendra: Hi, I heard Dr. Cabral on a podcast and am very interested in working with him or receiving referrals. I’ve dealt with IBS, chronic stomach pain, and digestive issues my whole life. I have never seen a functional medicine practitioner and I think it would be worthwhile. What are his fees? And do you have any referrals in the Los Angeles area? Thank you! Laimute: Hello, I would like to ask you about rheumatoid arthritis. My mum has rheumatoid arthritis for many years. A year ago she gave up with meat, dairy products, white flour, sugar. I'm going to take her to India for 15 days panchakarma treatment as I've heard that it would help her to get rid of toxins that causes arthritis followed by a natural ayurvedic medicines for up to a year. My question is what is the different between panchakarma and Dr. Cabral detox as both of them clean toxins from the body? Also would you suggest anything else to add to treat rheumatoid arthritis along with panchakarma treatment?Many thanks, Laimute   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/981 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -  Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

979: Ayurvedic Supplement Balancing Protocols (TT)

When many people think of natural health in ancient healing, they overlook the fact that nutritional supplements have been used from the earliest human recorded history... This isn’t something that I truly comprehended until I had the opportunity to study overseas in countries such as China, India, and Sri Lanka and discovered how they recommended using certain supplements in order to rebalance the body… The trick is knowing when to use which supplements for what imbalance and at what dosage and for how long… Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 979 for all the details on Ayurvedic supplement balancing protocols – Enjoy the show! - - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/979 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

978: How Stress Shuts Down Female Hormones & Fertility (WW)

In the past, I’ve shared how multiple environmental and internal stressors begin to slow a person's thyroid in a very predictable manner… However, it’s not quite as known how those same toxins and stressors can also begin to dysregulate a woman’s hormones and create a multitude of symptoms… Those symptoms--which appear as lower mood, fatigue, skin issues, infertility, headaches, and other health issues--actually have their imbalance in something called the HPO Axis… Today on#CabralConcept 978, I will explain in real-world terms how many women across the world are dealing with dysregulated hormones and have never been told where they are coming from-Enjoy the show! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/978 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

975: ADD Meds, Clearing Skin, Chronic Cough, Twitching Muscles, Dry Scalp, Ascorbic Acid Allergy (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!   Kelly: Dear Dr. Cabral, Love and appreciate your podcasts. Do you have suggestions for ways to rebalancing energy and neurotransmitters after discontinuing ADD medications? I have inattentive type ADD and have been on Adderall for the last 8 years. I got sick of the worsening depression, mood swings, and low energy and read about the long term effects of the medication and have since tapered off of it. I feel somewhat improved after starting on Wellbutrin and L-tyrosine in the AM but would love to hear your thoughts. I don’t want to be on an antidepressant forever. Also, if you can recommend any books or other resources on neurotransmitters/ADD I’d appreciate them! I work in the ER and love reading research and learning! Thanks so much! Tara: Hi Dr. Cabral, In recent years I’ve been learning a lot about holistic approaches to wellness. Since discovering your podcast a month ago, this journey has been expedited. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I’m in my 30’s and since having my second child, I’ve struggled with bad ache. It seems to be hormonal, as it increased with my menstrual cycle (which has also become much heavier and painful). I tried many natural remedies with no success, before going to the dermatologist who prescribed birth control and a topical gel called Veltin (generic for Ziana). I’ve been on it for 5 months and it has worked very well in clearing my skin. However, I’d really like to stop taking these drugs if possible. Besides the acne, my other major “dis-ease” is plantar fasciitis that won’t go away after 7 months of resting, wrapping, icing, and stretching per my orthopedists recommendation (she wants to start Cortisone shots next, which I don’t want). I like to stay fit and work out 5-6 days a week. I’m currently on Day 5 (of 7) of the DCD and would like to run some labs afterwards to determine the underlying problems, address them, and maximize my health. What would you suggest? Thank you! Maxine: i have had a chronic cough for almost 5 years, starts off as a dry cough, then get productive and I'm have to spit out phlegm, when I blow my nose in the morning there is greenish color mucus. Any advice how to cure it. I was told it was due to nerve and I should take Lyrica, I've seen ENT, pulmonologist and no relief Adrian: Hi Dr Cabral! I am a 32 years old Personal trainer from Norway. I stables on to your website, and listened to some of your podcasts, and found out you are the guy i should talk to! I was taking 3x1g Amoxilin for 100 days for my Modic changes In my lower back. My symptoms now is twitching muscles, anxious, flat mood, cold fingers, internal «rage» In my nervous system, extreme tierdness In afternoon, and full Body stiffness and pain, especially ln the morning. I also seem to Get arthritis In my fingers. It can be better for a few days, then it comes back. Can’tfind a pattern with histamine or other foods. i took some blood tests But came back normal. Please Dr.Cabral tell me Where to start. My doctor is as Always without suggestions. And if there is an answer to my problems i would be so happy to be my self around my little family again. Tanya: Hi Doctor Cabral, Finding your podcasts ( through a Melissa Ambrosini podcast ) has been the best thing ever. I could listen to you all day. Actually that is what I'm trying to do, get through all the past podcasts. I have a question about Marine collagen, here in Australia it is very big at the moment. What are your thoughts on taking this daily as suggested on the pack? My thoughts for taking this is for bone/joints support as I have a scoliosis and deterioration between the disks around my neck/shoulder area. The past year it seems to have become worse with a pretty constant pain radiating down and across my right shoulder and arm. I am looking to support bone health. It is affecting my yoga practice also. I don't have dairy other than the occasional cheese and take D3 daily, recommended by my doctor after blood tests. I have started adding Vit k with 4& 7 in it. I also have a very dry scalp mainly around the hairline. I am 48 years old and never suffered in the past. It is ok for the first day of washing but the next it starts to flake. What are your suggestions for this? Keep up the fantastic work, I love that you are forever educating us on health and wellbeing from your heart. Alice: I am extremely allergic to ascorbic acid. My tongue swells and upsets stomach. Will any of your cleanses ok for me?   - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/975 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

974: Multiple Food Sensitivities, Better Milk, Hair Test, Getting Off Keto; Lead Test, Yeast Detox, Red Heads, Oxidation Rate, Blasto Antiobitic Backlash (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Vivienne: Hi there! I've got multiple food sensitivities at the moment, salicylates, oxalates, histamine and amine issues, plus can't seem to manage sulphur based compounds particularly well either. I'm eating a very limited diet and doing okay but don't think this is sustainable longer term. How do you go about helping someone recover when they're sensitive to such a wide range of foods? What labs would I need to get also to get started. Tori Longie: hello! i am new to the podcast and absolutely loving it! i just listed to episode #185, after listening to #880 =) i have a question about milk, i am weening my son from breast milk and always have been taught to mix breast with whole milk to ween, would you do the same with almond milk? Pat: Hi Dr. Cabral, Can a bald person get the hair tissue mineral analysis done using hair from other parts of his body (like his chest), or does it need to come from the head? Thank you for spreading such useful, life-saving info through you podcast! Gina: Dear Stephen, I believe my body is sick due to years being on a restrictive Keto diet. I went to hypnosis and only eat meat and vegetables. Now I can lose weight. I am always bloated, have gas, stomach distress. I always get Charlie horses and always have post nasal drip. BUT I can't afford all the tests you suggest taking. What do I do ???? I am about 30 pounds overweight and I'm so afraid to get off keto even though I'm stuck in my weight loss. I don't know where to begin. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you. Gina Anne: Hi Dr Cabral, I recently found out that the water where I grew up and where my family lives is very high in lead. We use a Brita water filter, but because its New York City ( which has a reputation for having great Tap water) we weren't diligent... What can I do? should I focus on a liver detox or straight to heavy metals? Can i do both at once? help! Nichole: Hi Dr. I suspect that I have been dealing with candida overgrowth for the past 1-2 years. Although, I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism but medications have not helped. I wanted to know what the best way to treat candida overgrowth is. Would your 7-day detox help with something like that? Thank You, Nichole Sammy: Hi Dr Cabral I came across you through Jay Ferruggia’s podcast and have since listened to all of your podcasts and am halfway through reading the rain barrel effect. Appreciate all of the free information that you put out to help people live their healthiest and best lives. Being an extremely pale skinned/red head living in Australia where the sun and UV levels are quite high did you have any thoughts on using peptides to protect from the sun? Or the supplement Anaxanthin? I’m converting to organic sunscreen from regular sunscreen as you’ve reccomdnded although do find it to be very thick and ‘cloggy’. Thanks in advance. Morgan: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was wondering if you could explain the fast, slow, and mix oxidizer from the hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) test and the significance of this marker. What are the diet and lifestyle differences that are best for each of these? Could the oxidizer type change as you start to heal (ex. if you are a slow oxidizer showing signs of stress on the HTMA and you follow your protocol and improve, would the oxidizer type change)? Thanks so much for all your all of your help! Emma: Hi, About a year ago I got blastocystis homonis and went on intense antibiotics to get rid of it which worked but ever since I got the blasto my stomache hasnt been the same. I find myself often severly bloated and sensitive to a lot of foods and well as a lack of energy. Ive been doing a low fodmap diet for a while and i find that helps but still my stomache is not what it used to be. I was wondering if there was a test you would recommend for me to do so I can figure out whats going on and get back to how I used to be and feel.

971: How to Lose that Stubborn Last 5 lbs of Body Fat (WW)

There’s a huge difference between how you should go about losing 50 lbs versus the last 5-10 lbs of stubborn body fat... That last bit of weight seems to accumulate right around the waist, hips, or the back of the arms and to get rid of it you have a different strategy... The interesting twist to note is that the last 5-10 lbs is most likely not even fat - It just appears that way due to underlying inflammatory imbalances...

969: Do You Know Your Upper Limit? (MM)

Just like a car has a speed limit, each one of us has some type of "governor" that we've set as our cap for what we can achieve in life... It's often not on purpose, but this mindset was adopted by us to keep us in our comfort zone or at least feeling safe and secure for the moment... The problem is that this upper-limiting belief is preventing us from going after the life we truly want which will ultimately make us look back and be proud of the life we lived...

968: BP, Detox for Gut Health, Cystitis & Bladder Infection, Painful Periods, Guar Gum, Low Protein & Progesterone, Hot Flashes Supplement (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!  Ginny: What are some good ways to fight high blood pressure. I am taking three different medications. It will spike to 225/160. This has been going on forcloseto10 years. It started when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer which has spread to lymph nodes. Katrina: Hi I’m really interested to do a detox for leaky gut as I’ve been tested for and I’ve not heal my leaky gut but really want to try your detox, I listen to your podcast and in the middle of your book but I live in New Zealand and you don’t ship here yet, do you know when you’ll been shipping to New Zealand? Thanks Katrina  Aurelie: Dear Dr Cabral, i’m hoping you can comment on a problem Prevalent amongst females: cystitis or bladder infection. Once a year at most i find myself experiencing a painful episode of cystitis ( usually around summer holidays). I am conflicted about what to do: on one hand the pain is so excruciating that i beg my GP for a course of antibiotics. On the other hand by doing so,i wipe out my gut microbiome. How would you approach this situation? Eliana: Hi, I suffer from extremely painful periods. My mom had endometriosis but I have been tested for it and do not have it. They could not give me many answers besides “get on birth control” which I am completely against. I treat my periods with herbs, exercise, homeopathy, etc and I constantly find something that helps for one or two cycles and then stops helping. The cramps are severe and some cycles I end up dry heaving or have nausea, back pain, and cramps. I also feel weakness/light headed when on my period. I am in search of all natural remedies that will continue to help. Thanks so much!! Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your show! I wanted to get your thoughts on a product called Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum by Sunfiber. I've read it can be added to liquids and used in baking to increase the fiber content of foods. Thanks so much!!  Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’ve been eating a whole foods plant based diet for about a year and since cutting out meat and eggs (I’ve always avoided dairy) I’ve only had two periods. I’ve sought advice from two different naturopaths and they both told me that I should eat meat again to get my period back. I had blood work done as well as an ultrasound. I don’t have PCOS and my blood sugar is normal. My thyroid levels are normal. My naturopath did diagnose me with “leaky gut” which I’m trying to heal, and low progesterone. Is it possible that I’m just not absorbing nutrients properly? Is the low progesterone due to lack of protein? Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. Sandy:  Good evening! Can you please tell me if you can recommend any of your supplements to help with hot flashes. These started about four months ago. I have about 10 a day. The kind where you break out in a sweat from head to toe. I only sleep about 4 hours a night. When I did the 7 day detox they were not as intense the first two days. I did a search of the podcasts but 0 results came up regarding hot flashes. I made an appointment to talk to my GYN but cannot be seen until August 20th. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. God Bless you all for the information you provide us with.

967: Yeast & Dermatitis, Cavity Care, French Health, Brain Fog, Narcolepsy, Late Night Eating, Funky Smell (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Sasha: Hi Dr Cabral, I absolutely love your podcasts, I've learnt so much! I have Candida, which I think may be the cause of my seborrheic dermatitis which I am struggling to keep under control. I'm following a Candida diet with low carbohydrates but am having trouble keeping the sugars to a minimum. I am a type 1 diabetic, so I need sugar to recover from hypoglycaemia, even though I've lowered my insulin doses. My diabetes is well managed but because of the low carb diet, my blood sugar is often around 4-5 mmol/L, which I watch closely and need to eat glucose tablets/fruit juice/fruit throughout the day. I worry that I won't be able to get rid of Candida because I have to eat sugar to recover from low blood glucose, which will keep feeding the Candida. What can I do? Don: I was wondering what your thoughts were on dental issues that my son went through recently. Every time we took him in for his checkups he had a cavity. All these cavities were very small and easy to fix. But when our dentist did x-rays once he turned 5 years old, we discovered his molars were in terrible shape, and one tooth had exposed nerves. We were referred to a pediatric specialist that did an exam and laid out her treatment plan. Total he had 6 cavities, and needed four crowns. The specialist reassured us this was not due to lack of brushing, or a poor diet, it was just our son. She recommended we brush his teeth for him, floss, and have him use a fluoride rinse twice a day. While my son was going through all of this I read a book called Cure Tooth Decay, by Ramiel Nagel. The author made a couple of suggestions for things to do to help cure tooth decay naturally. First was Royal Butter Oil and Fermented Cod Liver Oil from Green Pastures, and a tooth paste called Theodent, which is fluoride free and supposed to help rebuild and harden his teeth. We started him on both of these right away. That was about a year ago, and his recent checkups have been good with no issues. I have no way of knowing which is helping, but I do know he hasn’t been sick nearly as much so I feel the butter and cod liver oil made a difference. I’m happy his teeth are better, but I’m concerned there is more going on internally. I was wondering what your thought are? Should we do some testing, or are there some supplements you recommend? Thanks Don Anonymous: Hey Stephen I think i have a what you would called a typical girl question :) I am an active 30 year old girl who is very healthy. I eat whole and non processed foods, good cold pressed oils, I am vegan, try to sleep more than 7,8 hours. I am very thin but not skinny. I take some supplements for my body to be healthier and because I had some pain in my intestines last year (l glutamine, zinc, vit d, curcumine, b12, omega 3). Now it's better! I usually do a lot of sport: pilates, yoga, swimming pool and a lot of walks but I have cellulite and feel pretty bad about it. I am what you could called a skinny fat person. The problem is that I put so many efforts to have a thin and strong body but apart from being maybe more firmly, the cellulite and fat are still here. I don't want to fall into a bad diet, but I am just lost and very frustrated. It's like eating very healthy, doing sacrifices about foods and wake up early to do sport most of the time doesn't count! Just in case of, I stopped the pill that i had been taken for 13 years, 2 years ago, for acne My period is quite irregular but it is improving. What do you think it could be linked to? hormonal issues please cheer me up :) ps: i have another problem:I can not run anymore, nor do strength training as my knees are too sensitive (5 years ago i had tendinitus and since then I'm not free to do whatever I want). It's like my whole body is weak, although i could run a marathon in my head. It is so sad to see other girls at my age being free to do any sport they want and me being stucked in just a few ones and ended up being hurt. I don't know if i am the only one to be in this situation I don't know how to be able to do the sport I want without ending up injured, though I know a lot about sport and good postures! Thank you so much for your advise and please send all your tests in France! It would be a great success :). International Cabral concept!  Bryan: Hello, I'm interested in the program and would love to find out more about which tests I should take for my certain situation. The main issues I'm having (and have had for a long time) is brain fog and low energy. I'm 31, 5' 7", 152 pounds and feel like I eat pretty healthy for the most part. I'd love to find out why I've been feeling this way and hopefully how I can turn it around. Thank you and look forward to hearing back! Best, Bryan Emily: I was diagnosed with narcolepsy 4-5 years ago. I have struggled with excessive daytime sleepiness since I was in middle school, but was not diagnosed with narcolepsy until I was 25. I have tried several types of medicine to help with my excessive sleepiness including Ritalin, Provigil, and Xyrem. I have experienced many different side effects from the medication. Unfortunately, none of them have been positive towards the sleepiness. I am wondering if you have had experience with a patient with narcolepsy before and if you can recommend a specific diet or natural supplements that can help with the excessive sleepiness, and finally what test kit you would recommend to see if there are any additional underlying reasons for my excessive sleepiness. My goal would be to be completely off medication, but with this neurological challenge, it is hard to keep a job without the support. I eat a healthy diet and exercise (HIIT) 3-4 days a week. Any suggestions are appreciated! Eva: Hello Dr. Cabral, my name is Eva and I’m a professional finswimmer of Austria in Vienna. I’m vegan and I’m listening to your podcasts since a week now. I already bought your book and I like your content so much! To my question: I normally have practice twice a day and sadly the evening practice is mostly from 6pm till 9pm (1h of weight lifting, 2h of swimming). Since want to try out a ayurvedic routine I’m curious how I can manage to eat and go to bed with and empty stomache before 10pm (the last days I just ate before practice arox 1 1/2hours before) and afterwards just came home and went straight into bed, it worked for me but I’m curious if over time my body might be in a dificiency because I’m not eating after practice. Do you have any suggestions, how would you manage it since I want a good night rest from latest 10 till 5:30am AND a adequate nutition I’m excited about your advices. Thank you so much, I’m looking forward! Julia: Hi Stephen, first of all thank you for putting out all this incredible content. My question today is about everyones favourite daytime "drug"...COFFEE. Every time I drink my sweat, especially under the armpits, smells really funky and totally unpleasant. Could this have something to do with my liver being overburdened or is there another explanation? What would be your advice on actions to take in order to smell good again?

965: Cutting Through the Keto & Low Carb Craze (TT)

Today's show got out of hand real fast... It started out as a fun, light-hearted show on how to match up your nutrition to your level of exercise, and then went down the rabbit hole on keto and low carb dieting...

963: Ayurveda Recommendations on Rest, Recovery & Rejuvenation (TWT)

I would love to say that becoming a doctor means you've been taught everything you need to know in order to help people, but the truth is your formal education is just the beginning... For example, the autonomic nervous system and the ability to get into a deep Parasympathetic Nervous System state is just casually glazed over in medical school... This is one of the reasons it took me so long to get well.  My doctors wanted to help me, but they simply lacked the "Wholistic" education in order to "put me back together"... Luckily, I discovered Ayurvedic Medicine a little over 10 years ago, and the answers I was seeking finally became apparent... In today's #CabralConcept 963 I want to share with you the Ayurvedic recommendations on rest, recovery, and rejuvenation - enjoy the show! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/963 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

962: The 1 Mistake That Is Holding You Back in Life (MM)

This past weekend I had the pleasure of speaking at a high-end conference where over 150 health coaches flew in from all over the world... It was an amazing event and I got to share the stage with some brilliant speakers where I got to listen and learn from... The problem was that there was one speaker that went to present and it went downhill real fast because of one crucial mistake...

961: Least Harmful Alcohol, Mucoid Plaque, Eye Styes, Distention After Meals, IHP Prerequisites, Zombie Energy, Prebiotic Bloating, Child PANDAS (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!  Marissa: What types of alcohol are the least harmful on the body? What are the worst types of alcohol? Tim: Could you please do a podcast on muciod plaque and ropeworms. How to eliminate them please? Also your thoughts on mimosa pudica? I am a huge supporter and I listen everyday! Thank you thank you thank you Renae: Hello Dr Cabral, I would love to have your opinion on the cause of recurring eye styes? In the last couple of years I have been experiencing recurring styes along with other skin issues on my face including recurring spots (different to pimples) along the nostrils and sores similar to but not exactly the same as cold sores along the edges of my lips. I would love your advice, thanks so much. Kind regards, Renae Christianne: Hi There! I have two questions. First, I'm looking to purchase your CBD oil that I've heard all about on Dr. Cabrals' podcasts, but I can't find it on the new store's website. Do you have it avaialbe? if not, can you please recommend a reputable brand? Second, I am suffering from some bloating and distention after I eat meals. Can you recommend a protocol to start with to see what's going on in my gut? Thank you! Christianne Jennifer: Dear Dr. Cabral - I just started listening to your podcasts and reading your book, as well as doing your detox. I am a huge fan of your message and very interested in pursuing a career in the field. Two questions...what specific licensing/training hav stout health coaches gone through? Also, you have mentioned you are going to do a training course in September and are doing speaking engagements. Can you provide details on the course and how I can participate and speaking engagements I can attend. I live in Newport Beach CA and would love to promote your products and message locally. Heather: Hello, I'm currently dealing with inflammation, very fatigue, LOW energy, feel like a zoombie, depression and anxiety!! What would be your 100% BEST tips to help overcome this and to get on the road to recovery? I've had to quit my job due to my health issues, so any tips would be AMAZING! I'm about to see an Integrative Health Doctor here in Hamilton, New Zealand so i'm hoping I'll be able to get some answers and can finally start feeling energetic and ALIVE again! Please help! Cheers Laree: Hi Stephen, I came across you via Melissa Ambrosini's recent podcast. I just want to say THANK YOU so much for sharing your story, your knowledge and expertise in this area of health. I resonated with everything you said and held onto every precious nugget you shared. When I have time I want to go back and listen to both podcasts and take notes. I have ordered your book and the books you recommended and I wait with anticipation to devour them. I am a primary school teacher in Hong Kong, originally from New Zealand, but am in the process of transitioning to be a nutrition coach, but over the past few weeks I have changed my mind and wanted to take a holistic approach to health coaching and since listening to your podcasts with Melissa, you confirmed my decision and I now want to be a holistic health coach. I am studying part time, while teaching and now that the summer holidays are coming up I have 6 fabulous weeks to study while taking two holidays, 1 at a wellness retreat in Sri Lanka and 1 in Phuket with my boy friend. On the podcast with Melissa, you mentioned that in the fall you will be opening up a new course. I don't think you went specifically into the content of the course, but I am super keen and passionate about wanting to take your course. I have been researching about functional medicine and Ayurvedic medicine as I am so intrigued and curious and I just want to learn all about it. I am also keen to take one of your tests, Im just not sure which one. I am now vegan, since April and have been reaping all the benefits. My concentration, productivity and energy levels have soared since dropping diary and fish (meditation has helped out a lot also) and am loving life so much more (I've always been a happy, positive person) but since I started to meditate and turned plant based, my life is just so much better!!! In regards to the tests, I get more bloated now that I am plant based, and I guess just to make sure all is ok. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you have shared and are sharing and I'd love to be put on a waiting list for your new course (if possible). I look forward to your response. Laree Chris: Hi Dr. Cabral, I will keep this short, but I look forward to working with you soon. Your book and podcasts are such a blessing for myself and family. I am learning so much. We are a family of health issues, with my 11 yr old son, the most severe, suffering from PANDAS/ LYME and missed his whole grade 5 year. We struggle everyday as my wife has had to leave her job to care for him. However, it is because of functional, progressive, forward-thinking practitioners like yourself who have been in the trenches and felt this pain that give us immense hope. Thank you for what you do, you inspire me. I know we can figure this out and begin to empty our own overloaded "rain barrels" and begin to heal. We will be in touch.

960: Precursors to Parkinson's, Morning Movements, Fatty Liver Detox, Collagen Support, Alcohol Reaction, Consult on Labs, Parasites, Stomach Discomfort (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Anonymous: Hi, Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your informative podcasts. What a true service to your listeners! I’m concerned about the effect of work stress on my husband’s health. He has a highly demanding job and travels a lot for work. Lately, I’ve noticed tremors/jerk-like movements while he’s asleep. He’s had some concerns about numbness to his feet, and he was told it’s likely peripheral neuropathy (his grandfather has it too). I’ve also noticed a mild but noticeable shaking in his hand, but he’s quick to dismiss it as nothing. Could these be signs of Parkinson’s disease or something else? Should he see a neurologist? And what lab tests might be good for him to get? Please advise... Thank you! Anonymous Kathryn: you speak of your morning movements a lot. Can you do a podcast on specifically what movements you do? I'm assuming they are some type of dynamic stretches and yoga poses but what are they specifically? I love your podcast. Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have fatty liver due to diabetes. I am wondering if it is safe to use your Detox protocol. I don't want to inadvertently cause more damage to my liver. Thanks so much, Lisa Tara: My mom (who is super into natural health) just referred me to your podcast. I listened to episode 858 and went to order the omega 3 and daily shakes for the daily health of me and my girls (2 and 5 years old). I am also an avid runner who has been battling plantar facitious since January. I added the Advanced Collegen Support into my basket, but thought I should ask if that’s the product you’d recommend? Per my doctor’s orders, I’ve been tapping, resting, icing, massaging, and wearing shoes with orthotics all the time (no bare feet) to help combat it, but it’s not going away (she also had me take 1 round of oral steroids, which was aweful). multiple bottles of each product, so I’d really like the discount if possible. Georgie: Hi Dr Cabral! I recently found your podcast and have been listening non-stop over the last couple of months. Thank you for sharing all your incredible knowledge - I have learned a TON. I'm hoping that you can shed some light on a random issue I've experienced... Over the last 6 months I've developed an ad-hoc reaction to alcohol. Occasionally, after 1-2 drinks, I develop a splotchy rash on my neck (and sometimes my chin/jaw) and I suddenly find it more difficult to breathe. The weird thing is that it doesn't occur every time I drink (maybe once every 5 times), and it's not tied to one type of alcohol. I've experienced this reaction after drinking red wine, vodka and tequila. Any idea what this could be? Ryan: I took a 24 hour urine organic acids test through Quest Diagnostics and was wondering if you could read the labs and give recommendations? I also had a handful of other tests done such as testosterone, DHEA, serotonin, vit d, thyroid, blood panel and a few others if those would help with the recommendations. If so, what would the cost be? Thanks for the help Ryan Chillia: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us , and on many different levels. It is appreciated:) I did submit this to the Facebook support group and received an answer with really the best place to start, as far as getting certain labs done, and potentially becoming one of your private concierge clientst, but I am hoping you could take a bit of time to shed some light for the sake of my friend, who is in the thick of trying to heal herself, just to get a better understanding of what is happening with her body. Here is my best friend’s account: “In Oct 2017 I passed a fully intact round worm and was given Mebendazole by my local MD. Shortly after taking the first round of Mebandazole, I started become sick. Fatigue, heavy feeling blood, brain fog, nausea, restless feet, insomnia, dehydration ( drinking 1.5 gallons of water a day), dry cracking tongue, extreme fatigue with any cardio. With Mebendazole, you take the drug twice, but after the second round, I was still passing worms. I was confident that I still had a parasite infection, but stool tests only came back negative, so MD would not prescribe medication. I went to a private clinic out of town that specialized in parasites and was diagnosed with Round Worm and Gardia. For the next two months, I did a parasite treatment from the clinic and redoing tests showed that the parasites were gone. Unfortunately I continued to get sicker to the point I could no longer look after myself. From November to March, I was unable to walk more than a city block. I spent my time in bed and was unable to do simple things like make meals, or bring in firewood. I was aware that some foods were making me incredibly sick ( ending up in the emergency because I lost motor control after drinking a litre of kombucha ) March, I started seeing a naturopath that explained histamine intolerance as well as SIBO. With a serious change in diet, I saw instant results. I could walk a short distance and begin to look after myself. Stool test were sent to Doctor’s Data. My results came back with very low beneficial flora. I did not have any of the good flora Escherichia coli or Enteroccus spp, but I had a serious over growth of Alpha hemolytic strep, Beta Strep group B, Citronbacter freundi complex, Gamma hemolytic strep, Kluyvera ascorbate, Pseudomonas chloroaphis, Candida albicans and Candida lustitaniae With these results, I started treatment to replace my good flora and get rid of the bad flora. I have been taking once a day to kill off the bad stuff : 10 drops of grape fruit seed extract, 500mg of grape seed extract, 4 capsules of GI Microb- X (Tribulus 200mg, Magnesium caprylate 150mg, Sweet Wormwood 15mg, Bearberry 100mg, Blackwalnut 100mg, Common bearberry 50mg) Once a day for gut health : chlorophyll 5 drops, Vitamin B- Supreme ( Designs for Health Brand), GI- Revive anti inflamatory ( Designs for Health), 5000Iu Vitamin D3, 2 Tsp Omega 2 with EPA+DHA Twice a day: 25billion cfu Gut Pro Since March, my health has improved dramatically, but I feel that I am at 50 percent of my normal abilities. I cannot walk up a hill or anything cardio and I can not eat anything outside of my limited foods without a histamine flush that can slow me down or put me in bed for the afternoon. I do believe that I have always had a histamine problem. I was two months premature and then as a 11 month old, was hospitalized for Toxoplasma Gondii. I have always had food sensitivities, but boundless energy and good physical strength. I am confident that once I am better, my quality of life will probably be better than it has ever been, I am now looking for guidance on how to refine what I am doing to heal faster.” Lucy: Hi there. I am a 21 year old female and I am reaching out because I have dealt with gut & digestive issues for the last 5-10 years. 97% of things I eat immediately cause my stomach discomfort. If the food is unhealthy or full of sugar I usually feel stronger discomfort but I can even drink water too fast and feel discomfort from that as well. I did a food journal for a while and wasn't able to find any consistencies in what bothers my stomach and what doesn't. I have had allergy testing and it all came back negative. I just recently started seeing a gastroenterologist at banner hospital, she started by putting me on Pantaprazol thinking maybe the issue was inflammation in my stomach and that didn't help at all. I am scheduled to take a barium swallow test and see my gastroenterologist again next week for her to review my results. I think a naturopathic approach would be a lot more successful for me, as I would like to stay away from anti-biotics and surgeries if possible. I am looking forward to hearing back from you! Natalia: Hi. In one of the podcast it was mentioned about health/nutrition certifications that the Dr has recommended but can’t find them when i search. Could you guide me in the right direction? Also it was mentioned that he was coming up with his own certification i would like info on that please!!!!

957: The Cortisol + Blood Sugar + Inflammation + Weight Gain Connection (WW)

In a world that glamorizes the medical specialist we often times miss the answers that are disabling people from getting well, losing the weight, or feeling alive... What we need are more "generalists" that can see how the body is interconnected - Every organ affects the next and without this "wholistic" knowledge a true "cure" can never be found... You don't fix imbalances by masking the symptoms with drugs - All that does is give you the false belief that you are well again... The issue with that is within months or years a new set of symptoms will arise that are a new sign something is imbalanced - You can then choose to mask those as well and drive the root cause deeper down, or you can break the cycle and begin to heal... The choice is yours and on today's #CabralConcept 957 I want to show you how stress/cortisol + blood sugar + inflammation + weight gain are all connected (and how to rebalance them) - Enjoy the show! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/957 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

955: How to Own Your Shortcomings & Turn Them into Strengths (MM)

Our culture has brainwashed us since we were children into somehow believing that when we succeed it is because of our own doing, but when we fail it is always someone else's fault... With a media-driven message like this it is really no wonder why we have generations of adults not wanting to accept their shortcomings... What happens then is that they are left with the inability to change their current circumstances due to being in denial of what that would mean...

954: Iron Levels, Ear Lobe Crease, Peeling Hands & Feet, PMLE, Incorrect Gut Protocols, Shortness of Breath, Prioritizing Supplements, Dyspepsia (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!  Anonymous: I am curious about your thoughts on iron levels. I don’t recall hearing you ever talk about it on the podcast. A few months ago I thought I had mono - I had all the classic symptoms. Though I didn’t check my blood work I started taking iron and felt much better. My doctor said I was most likely anemic as I was a vegetarian at the time. What are your thoughts on iron levels as it relates to mood, energy etc? Vivian; After listening to your podcast on signs that a disease is coming , i got really concerned cause my husband showed one , very clearly - the diagonal crease on ear lob - His mom passed in 2010 at age of 60 , suddenly from heart disease they never knew she had. After that , in 2011 , he did a full scan and all showed fine. I told him about the podcast and forced him to do it over....we just got a call from the doctor , saying that he has the early stage of a heart disease...that one one of the markers that in 2011 came as zero, came as a 4 now and his red blood cells are kind of "sticky" and can result in heart problems if he doesn't eat right and follow the recommendations. Since i met him , over 2 years ago, his diet has changed completely, i thought him how to eat and all i have learned about nutrition. He finished a doctor Cabral 7 days detox couple weeks ago. Please , what are your recommendations ( what to avoid and what to supplement with) so we can do our best to have him with us for many ,many, years?? I appreciate your help and all you do. Suzanne:  Hello Stephen! Thank you for all the wonderful work you do in the healing world! My question involves a few different sicknesses I’ve accumulated over the last year. Last year during a stressful teaching stint I was diagnosed with an Epstein Bar (Glandular Fever) relapse, despite having the condition in my late teenage years. (I am now 25 years old.I suffered with a chronic sore throat initially which turned into fatigue, muscle aches and peeling fingers and toes. After changing a huge amount of my lifestyle and stress I have helped things but still suffer from the sore throat every few days, fatigue and constant peeling of my fingers and toes. (Despite many coconut oil applications I can’t seem to stop the peeling) On a side note: I have travelled a lot (and did get bitten by a tick in Nepal.) I have been on far too many antibiotics (If only I knew) and did go on a course of Roaccutane for three months. I was also vegan for almost four years in an attempt for perfect health which has since changed since the long absence of my period. My sickness also began when I was vegan. I now eat a small amount of meat including salmon, organic chicken and kangaroo which has fixed my hormones. (Still no dairy, eggs and limited gluten.) BUT Despite my best efforts I’m still fatigued and working part time as a result with peeling fingers and a sore throat most of the time) I believe I will get there I just need a little help and advice. Thank you for all the work you do in this field. The path to wellness in the best gift you could give. Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, I don't think you have done a podcast on this but I was wondering if there is anything you would specifically recommend for PMLE? I have read online that Shirudo AGR+E lotion is good but I wondered if there is also anything else or any supplements that would help (and/or potentially reverse) this? It may help to mention, I believe I have hypothyroidism (which I am naturally treating the past year or so) and that I have changed my sunscreen various times (minor PMLE occurs with each different sunscreen brand; I am also trying to find a natural sunscreen). The PMLE type reaction is relatively minor and has only started to happen the last couple of years. Last summer vacation I had a minor reaction on my arms, legs/ankles and chest and this vacation this past week (mid-June) I had it only on my hands, knees, feet and partly on my collarbone/upper chest. It's not immediate, it seems to take a few days to occur. I remain out of the sun when it does, although using more sunscreen does not help. Not sure if reaction on different areas of the body signifies anything? I am from London, where we don't get much sun. Perhaps there is a relation with thyroid but it would be useful to know what may help it going forward and what may have caused it. I am going away again soon so I did contact your support email in hope for a earlier response but they directed me to ask cabral, however hopefully this may help some others... Thank you so much for you and your podcasts! Andrea: My 25 yr old daughter has had gut issues for years and has been to many dr,’s but still no relief. She was then diagnosed with Hashimotos and thyroid cancer and had her thyroid removed 12/2016. She now also has psoriasis. She now see’s a local Functional medicine dr here in STL who has been trying to help her. She tried a candida cleanse late last year but still has gut pain. She is gluten free and has done food allergy tests that show mild allergy to yogurt but that’s it. She decided to do a GI Map and here are the things that seem off:Enterotoxigenic E. coli LT/ST 1.19e6 High; Normal Bacterial Flora; Bacteroides fragilis 8.8e8 Low; Bifidobacterium spp. 1.6e10; Enterococcus spp. 5.7e6; Escherichia spp. 7.9e5 Low; Lactobacillus spp. 2.6e6; Clostridium spp. 9.66e4; Enterobacter spp. 1.69e5 Low; Phyla Microbiota Result; Bacteroidetes 1.94e10 Low; Firmicutes 7.87e9 Low; Firmicutes:Bacteroidetes Ratio 0.40; Additional Dysbiotic/Overgrowth Bacteria Result Normal; Bacillus spp. 2.71e4; Enterococcus faecalis Don: 88 year old life long asthmatic now with COPD. Shortness of breath with any exertion. Now using oxygen which helps some during those times, not needed other than that. Have tried most of the inhalers with little or no relief. Trying to exercise more. Help ????? Justin: Dr. Cabral, I am a current college student and am on a tight budget. My health is my priority, but I am also on a budget. My money basically goes towards school, food, and supplements. I was wondering if you had some tips for what to prioritize my spending on in terms of food and supplements specifically. Do you have any recommendations of staple foods and essential supplements? Thanks! Carlos Ruiz: I was diagnosed with H pylori in January and went thru triple therapy in February. I am still experiencing symptoms and want to take healthy belly to help eradicate the h pylori for good. What changes in diet should I make to eradicate it, and what should be servings of healthy belly. According to the gastro I’m suffering from dyspepsia due to h pylori.

953: Pregnancy Detox, Gout Advice, Irritability Supplement, Watermelon Diet, Allergic Eyes, Children Gut Issues, Supplement Labels, Skincare (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Jess: Hi Dr Steve! love your podcasts and i have already gotten so much information form them! really great what you are doing for the community. I am currently pregnant and have always had trouble with acne. i know i cant do any detoxes while pregnant, but wondering what i could do while pregnant to help lessen the acne. i have not really had a time in my life that it has gotten better, i have eliminated different foods however not had significant improvements, however maybe didn't remove them for a long enough period? the acne is both small bumps (that are always there) but also large pimples that eventually come to a head (probably get one new one each day) mainly on my cheeks (occasionally on my chin) i eat mostly plant based, sometimes have the occasional fish, i take zinc & vit C supplements, i am relatively active as i have a toddler to chase around, and also don't think i am overly stressed out person. Hope you can help! thank you again so much! Gary: Hello!! I have had a few cases of gout in my foot and am wondering what your best advice is for how to treat it and even better, how to avoid it. I do follow a diet according to my food sensitivities after taking a food sensitivity test. Any help you can give is appreciated!! Kennedy: Hello! Thank you for answering my question. I suffer from monthly irritability. I do take B complex vitamins and that has most definite helped but I still notice peak times of the month when the irritability is worse than others. I've been told I do have low estrogen. Is there a protocol that you suggest to help balance hormones or supplement support to help with moodiness and irritability? Thanks so much in advance! Laimute: Hello, What is your opinion about 1 day detox of eating only watermelons? And also how much water would you recommend to drink daily? I'm 29 years old, my weight is 110lb (50kg). Thank you Laimute Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all you do for your patients and listeners. I began your 21 day detox early in the year followed by your candida protocol. I also completed your Thyroid/Adrenal test and spoke to your wonderful health coach, Julia. I was surprised to learn how low my estrodial was (as low as the test measures) as I always thought my acne issues were due to an estrogen dominance but that was not the case. While wrapping up the gut sealing protocol, I am also currently following the plan discussed taking your nutrition support shake, vitamin D, vitamin C, 5mg DHEA, and adrenal soothe. I also started the 7 day detox because I could feel my "rain barrel" filling up (swollen tongue, tender skin the next day, etc.) with recent bad food choices. My questions is in regards to chronic bloodshot eyes. I have suffered with red eyes for over 10 years and took Visine for years to try to cover it up and then my eye doctor tried to prescribe me a dry eye medicine that I declined. I am currently not taking anything for my eyes but cannot bear the look of my chronic bloodshot eyes. I do suffer from seasonal allergies but my eyes are red regardless of whether or not my other allergy symptoms are there. What do you recommend I do to clear up this issue once and for all? Ashley: I am looking to apply for treatment for my 6 year old daughter. Zoey was diagnosed with Pandas in Oct of 2018 and after 8 months of treatment it has shifted to Pans and we are still trying to figure out what he trigger is for her. Through spectra cell testing and observing her symptoms her pediatrician suspects that she has a leaky gut and we have to make healing the gut a priority. We have started a gluten free diet and a protocol that should help heal her gut but she had a reaction to it after a few days. We are desperate for a new treatment plan as her Pans symptoms are at an all time high and we just want to help our little girl get better. Please let me know how I can have her considered for treatment, I truly believe we are missing pieces to her puzzle but that she can be healed! Riannan: Greetings Dr. Cabral & Team! I first heard you on Melissa Ambrosini's podcast and since then I have been listening to yours as well. To keep it brief, I am soon to be 42 and have been living with Hashimoto's for over half of my life. I'm currently on one grain of Nature-throid. I also take adrenal support, magnesium and a handful of other supplements. Overall I am in pretty good health, but I know it could be better. There were even a few years that, without my doing anything specific, I was able to be completey off any thyroid meds. That was before the onset of anxiety and panic attacks (which are much better now, but still not completely gone). In a nutshell, I eat quite healthy (organic, GF, not a lot of processed food) and take some supplements, but I still struggle with low energy sometimes and bloating/constipation. And anxiety - mostly a fear of being trapped. If I was able to be off of thyroid meds before, I would love to get there again and I would love to experience stronger digestion and to know that I'm actually assimilating what I'm taking in. I love that you have a background in so many different healing traditions. I would like to know what tests you would recommend I start with from your site so that I can really zero in on what the very best health routine looks like for me at this moment. I normally do a thyroid panel including TSH, T3 Uptake, T4 and Free T4. I am able to do this test for $100, so if those would be tests you also use and I could schedule a consult to have you read the results, that would be great. Please advise on the best way to get started with you and your team given everything above. I currently live in AZ. Thank you! Riannan Ari: What should we look for when buying supplements? What makes you recccomend a brand other than your own? ( in terms of ingredients etc) how can we determine what’s a high quality supplement and what is low quality?  Anonymous: Do you have any suggestions for scaring? In terms of topical / dietary changes? I realize this is a bit off topic but I’m just curious. Btw Your wife should do a podcast on skincare!!

950: How Your Ayurvedic BodyType Handles Stress & How To Overcome It (WW)

It's very interesting how when life gets stressful people react in a number of ways based on how they frame or view the situation...

948: Why It's Time to ReThink Your Path to Happiness (MM)

If our end goal is to be happy, and we can all agree upon that, then it's time to decide what happiness really means... The truth is that there is no definition for happiness that it is going to work for every individual... We all have our own preconceived notion of what we believe will make us happy, and therefore, it's up to us to look inside for what that end goal should be...

947: Healthy Belly, Cyst in Breast, ALA and T3, Atypical Depression, Health Service Options, Spider Veins, Passionflower, Motion Sickness, (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!  Carlos: I have H pylori and was wondering what are the doses on using the healthy belly. I have yet to buy as I want to know does first. Thank you guys. Keep up then great work. Heather: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was recently diagnosed through an ultrasound with a cyst in one of my breasts. I have not received any guidance on what can be done about it. Is this something that will always be there now or can I do something non-invasive about it to help it go away? Are there any supplements, etc. that could help? What are your recommendations on dealing with something like this? I am taking bioidentical hormone replacement. I have been prescribed the progesterone cream for several years and have done great with that. Last year, a very small dose of bi-est and testosterone were prescribed and I very briefly used it because I started having abnormal severe chin breakouts. I have stayed on progesterone but have been off of bi-est and testosterone for almost a year. I am 42 years young. Thank you so much for your help! :) Heather Marc: Hi i heard your podcast on alpha lipoic acid. I used to take acetyl l carnithine and ALA regularly but recently saw it effects the conversion of T4 to T3 and I am slightly low in thryoid hormone. Have you heard of this before? thanks Anonymous: Hi doctor Cabral. I was diagnosed with Atypical depression, anxiety, add, ahd at the age of seventeen. (Heavy limbs, critically low dopamine production, extremely irritable, sensitive to outside noise/ sensation etc). I am currently on a regimen of stimulants and anti anxiety medication combined with supplements for energy. I know you don’t believe in diagnosing disease or illnes. In the past, have you worked with someone who had been diagnosed with this condition? And if so, what were they lacking? In other words, how can I approach my condition in the way of functional medicine? Berenice: Hi, I was wondering what's the best way to utilize Dr. Cabral's services in order to help with migraine relief and bloating. Which lab tests are recommended and how does the personalized wellness plan work? Thank you Rachelle: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’m a certified Health Coach who embarked on my own personal wellness journey about 3 years ago. I love your podcast for it enriches my knowledge and continues to open my eyes to how amazing our bodies are once given the proper tools to heal. I’m writing to inquire about spider veins. I’m 29 and I recently noticed a couple small ones forming on the backs of my legs. They seem to run in my family on my moms side. My mom is very slender (5’7” and 140 lbs) and she has spider veins on her legs. She claims she got them when she was pregnant with me. I have not had any children so I’m wondering what causes these veins to appear. I also believe my maternal grandfather had them on his legs as well. Can they be prevented or gotten rid of once they appear? I’ve read it’s due to lack of adequate protein but I can’t imagine that’s the case for me as I’m very mindful about my eating. Thank you so much, you’re very inspiring and I hope to take your course this fall when you release it! Rachelle Bea: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you so so so much for tons of great infos. You are a walking Britannica of natural health :) In One of ur podcasts somebody was asking help with addiction (it was for smoking or alcohol I don t remember) I have a suggestion for you to try: Kudzu plant supplement and Passion Flower drops for addictions. You might know them and both together work great on any addictions :) Have a lovely day. With lots of love. Bea Bridgette: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for your incredible podcasts and all the information you are putting out there to help with our health and wellbeing issues. Almost two years ago I was diagnosed with a rare condition called Mal de Debarquement Syndrome after returning to Adelaide, Australia from New York. This condition is usually triggered by a prolonged motion event e.g. a cruise, flight, long car ride, etc (in my case a flight), and is known to be a neurological condition. Essentially, I always feel motion in my body, like I never got off the flight. I struggle with balance issues, fatigue, rocking, swaying, a feeling as though the ground is moving beneath my feet, gravitational pulling, etc. It always intensifies after a car ride (not during), and I'm too scared to get on a plane again. I experience this 24/7, even when lying down. I understand the flight was the 'trigger' to all of this, but I need to get to the root cause to fix what is quite a debilitating condition. It has also worsened over the two years, starting at say a 3/10, now being a strong 10/10. I have been eating strictly plant-based for the last 9 months (whole foods, limited grains, gluten-free, soy free) in the hopes it would start improving but it has continued to worsen. I would love some help in what you believe I should do. I should also mention I used to suffer from chronic sinus infections and polyps, on and off hives, some other neurological symptoms like tingling, numbness and weakness, hormonal acne and bad menstrual cramps, and just generally haven't felt 'well' for about five years. This condition is what I'd call the very worst of any of the health issues I've had. So sorry for the length of this message, and thanks so much in advance for your much needed response :) - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/947 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

946: Nutritional Response Testing, Keto & Gallbladder, Ring Worm, Estrogen Build Up, Kid's Multi-Vitamin, Antibiotic Induced Fatigue, 71 Years Young (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Nikki: Hi Dr. Cabral! Long-time listener. I tell everyone in my life about you and refer to you as my Dr. in conversation :) Thank you for everything you do! I wanted your opinion on Nutritional Response Testing. My chiropractor/nutritionist has done this testing on me. He has given me supplements to balance the body. I trust him, his knowledge and experience but is this particular test worthwhile? I know it must not be as accurate as lab tests, but for a healthy person like myself looking for optimal health, is it sufficient? Many thanks, Doc :) Aiyanna: Could i get a suggestion where to start, keto for 7 months no gallbladder definitely feel good minus poor digestion no weight loss at all though. I plan to start paleo and do the 7 day cleanse but should I also do the weight loss test OR organic acids? Ellen: I would like to begin using your resources but don't know where to begin. I have had consistent constipation for at least a year and it's getting worse. I also have ring worm. It has come back for a second time. I know doing all the lab tests would be the most beneficial but I would like to start slowly mainly due to the cost. So, I'm not sure if I should start with a lab test, a detox, or a supplement. Also, is there a podcast that discusses ring worm. I am in the process of listening to the ones that discuss constipation although if you can recommend the best podcasts for that subject, I would appreciate it. Thank you so much. This has been such a gift. Ellen Deanna: I had a pretty bad case of hives allover my body last year so I had an IgG food allergy test done. I removed the trigger foods but have recently had an outbreak in hives again (this time only on my throat/chest). Is it worth getting another food allergy test done? I also have high cortisol and estrogen levels. My functional medicine doctor said the hormone build up is due to my constipation which is most likely triggered from my food intolerance. I'm thinking of trying the 7-day detox to see if that helps flush my body of whatever is building up. Is there anything else you can recommend? I already take digestive enzymes and methyl b-complex. Best, Deanna Liccardi Kirsten: Hello! I have two questions. I'm wondering if you received my intake form for my son Van Dugan. Second question: Is the daily activated multi-vitamin for everyone? Some of the vitamin percentages exceed the RDI by alot. Is it safe for everyone to take this multi, kids too? Should I reduce the dosage to 2 or 3 capsules for kids? I know ... that was 4 questions. Thank you kindly, Kirsten Suzie: Hi Stephen. Thank you for the amazing information on your podcast! I'm 25 yrs old and last year really hit the hardest year of my life health wise. I was stressed, exhausted and sick. I'm feel like Im slowly recovering. I eat fully organic food, take organic Nutriway Vitamins and feel like I'm doing everything possible to help and a year later I'm still going through rough patches of sickness. I've had to drop working to three days per week for my energy. I suffer from peeling flingers/ toes constantly, sore back/legs after a big day, fatigue and I've noticed I take a long time to heal what should be mior issues (cuts, brusies etc) This all began with a chronically sore throat and snowballed from there. I notice that my throat is always sore without the use of a nasal spray (salt) or steaming. Do you have any idea what could be causing this? Or further steps I can take to fully heal? (I try to stretch daily. Take epsom salt baths.) I was also vegan for years and and six month ago introducing meat back (which helped). I've also been on accutane when I was 22 for four months and have travelled to many counties when I was younger and healthy (And did get bitten by a tic in Nepal) I was on antibiotics for a while previously too. Thank you for all that you do! Diana: I live in Chicago and I am looking for a certified Naturopathic doctor in the Chicago land area. Is there any good recommendations. I would hate to have a bad experience with someone that doesn't have the necessary experience to practice. Thanks Diana Seraj:  Dear Sir, I am an old person of 71 years suffering from ckd disease of phase 3 for 12 years; blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes for 25 years and gastritis from 45 years. I have also huge bloating, acidity, indigation, candida, problems. I suspect I might have already developed leaky gut that spread fungus left side particularly left back and left ear. I am terribly worried about kidney and gut and stomach issues. I would remain grateful if you kindly suggest me any means if I could reverse these diseases. Thanks.

943: Often Undiagnosed Imbalances Leading to Low Thyroid (WW)

Low thyroid (hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's) affects more than 1 in 5 women and 1 in 8 men... The symptoms range from low energy, low mood, weight gain, hair loss, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, constipation, and many more...

942: EXPOSED: 7 Popular Health & Fitness Myths to Watch Out For (TWT)

I have to be honest, most of what you see and read in traditional media outlets is almost useless when it comes to usable advice... This is clearly seen when referring to mainstream health and fitness how-to articles and recommendations... Although many of the tips they provide aren't overly harmful (although some are!), they certainly aren't going to get you the results you want - Therefore, the advice is mostly a waste of your time...

940: Lyme Recovery, Bedridden, Natural Statin, Missed Detox Shake, Misdiagnosed Hypothyroidism, Slow Child Growth, Nagging Health Issues (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!  Carter: Hey Stephen! LOVE THE SHOW its so so helpful! I have had lyme disease for many years, I'm a 20'year old male and my life is destroyed from lyme. I have not yet found anything to help me get better.. i know i have had toxic mold exposure, heavy metals and environmental toxins in my body and parasites and a terrible gut. I have tried so many things and both years of antibiotics and functional medicine doctors as well. I'm very concerned with my diet, i eat only grass fed beef because its all I'm abke to tollerate and even that is now causing me bloating. I'm very lost on how to start healing myself.. probiotic? Detox? Immunomodulation? My immune system is attacking itself constantly as well via my mast cells from the years and years of having lyme and antibiotics i believe.. I'm just cery lost and it seems no one can figure me out.. any advice you have will help save my life so PLEASE AND THANK YOU to any advice you have.  Shelley: Hi, one of my friend's mom's suffers from chronic illness and can barely leave the bed for longer than a few hours a day. I was listening to a podcast and Dr. Cabral had talked a little about chronic diseases. I'm wondering if there are some naturopathic remedies that could maybe help improve her way of life? She's in constant pain. I don't know the details of what all is wrong, I just know what I've stated above. Thanks! Corinne: I’d love your insight on “hereditary” high cholesterol. My boyfriend has taken statins since age 24. His father had a heart attack at age 39 (and also was taking statins). I’ve come across so much information on the ability to reverse diseases by diet and lifestyle, particularly plant based diet, and am curious if this can be an approach for treating cholesterol that is said to be hereditary and thus requires medication for life. Of course that offers its own health risks and some argue it may not be an effect prevention against cardiovascular disease. To circle back around: is high cholesterol genetic, not just from adapting the lifestyle of your parents? Can it be treated without medication? Thank you! I look forward to your trusted information. Chelsea: I just started the 7 day cleanse and was wondering if it’s okay to miss a shake throughout the day? Not replace it with anything but I am just full from the other 3 that I don’t even want the 4th one at dinner Brynn: Hello! My name is Brynn. I am a 32 yr old woman and I struggle with Hyperthyroidism (hypothyroidism) and I would lovvvve to get of my Rx. I have been working with an endocrinologist for the last 3-4 years. Tired of feeling like I'm not the girl I once was. Always tired, weight gain regardless of being very active and a healthy eater, low libido, amenorrhea, not sleeping well, etc.. Would love to correct the problem (even tho I am told I will be on levothyroxine forever) but not sure where to start. Was hoping we could discuss my situation so I know what tests to buy and send to you..? Thanks so much for your time. Look forward to hearing back. Cheers, Brynn Jenett: Hello Dr. Cabral My son will be 12 in July. He is not even on the chart for growth and height. He only weighs 55lbs. He is a bit of a picky eater and doesn't care for most meats. Not big on soy or beans. He suffers from allergies as well so I am wondering if it is a gut issue. The doctor says his growth plates are displaying late bloomer syndrome and he is closer to a 10 year than an eleven year old. They said that if he doesn't grow, they can give him a shot of testosterone. Do you know how we can boost his growth naturally? Also, I want to get him on a good multi-vitamin with Omeag 3's, probiotics and Vitamin D. Could you possibly recommend a brand? Thank you so much for all that you do! Jenett Heidi: I'm 56 and in general good shape. Just wondering. ..I have rosacea. ..anyway to get rid of it? Also suffer from dry eyes and possibly a touch of ocular rosacea and am currently taking immunotherapy for allergies. Is there a certain diet, mineral or supplement that may help with the skin issue and allergies? Also have lots of anxiety, but try to manage it with exercise and regular sleep. I am taking armour thyroid too. Nothing life threatening, just life annoying! Ha! I heard you or the first time on the Foodheals podcast and am an avid listener:) My daughter lives in Boston so I may have to see you in person one of these days! Until then, I'd love your opinion/advice:) Thanks so much Rebecca: Hi Stephen, I heard you on the Skinny Confidential podcast. I've been looking for a great functional doctor and while I can google them and read individual reviews, I wanted to cut through the noise to find out if you had a great recommendation for someone in So Cal (preferably Newport Beach Area).

939: Lose Last 5 lbs, BiPolar, Food & Candida, HCG Diet, Dermatographia (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Jennifer: Hi! Listen to your podcasts everyday! You are incredible. Listening to show 845 today and it was the best show- I’m going to relisten right now. Can you please discuss the last 5-10 lbs and inflammation again more in-depth. The inflammation must be why I feel better when I go away on vacation and I cannot do my normal workouts and my body feels lighter and I see less sq fat and water on my thighs is this possible? Thank you so much! Jennifer AnneMarie: Hello Doctor Cabral! I heard you speak on the Skinny Confidential and I was very intrigued. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder several years ago and lately my stress and anxiety has been out of control. I am exhausted all the time and I am miserable. I am taking medication and I do see a psychiatrist but I don't think it is enough/working. I am looking for anything, I am open to anything, please help me. Thank you, Annie Emily: Hi! A couple questions regarding your products/services? Will the food sensivity test indicate Candida overgrowth and lectin sensivity? Does your Candida protocol include a nutrition guide/food list in addition to the supplements? Thank you! Margaret: Hi Dr. Cabral. I love your show. I searched your podcasts and couldn’t find anything regarding the HCG diet and your honest take on it. My friend is actually working with a NP in NJ who offers the protocol via injections and says the results are great. I see many chiropractor offices and NP offer HCG under supervision but it just seems unhealthy to me. My friend is convinced it’s a miracle. I trust your advice. Sal: My 10 year old daughter has been dealing with chronic idiopathic urticaria with dermatographia. It came out of nowhere and is now taking daily meds for this. I loathe the "idiopathic" reasoning. There must be an instigator, yet all bloodwork comes back negative. What can you please recommend for my baby?

935: The 4 Foods that Balance Female Hormones (Seed Cycling & Supplements) (TWT)

We live in a world where the environment is not conducive to balancing female hormones... The plastics, heavy metals, EMFs, and other toxins create estrogenic effects that can lead to weight gain, headaches, low mood, fatigue, irregular cycles, and many more health issues... Plus, the day-to-day stress of managing work, family, and relationships can lead to stress on the adrenals (HPA axis), which only furthers estrogen dominance and a whole host of symptoms... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 935 I wanted to provide you natural health protocols to help you take back control of your health - Starting with the 4 foods that balance the female hormones.

933: Vaccine Schedule, CBO Approved Foods, Pre-Pregnancy Body, Dental Toxins, Depression Supplement, Lasik, Canned Goods, Re-regulate Menstrual Cycle (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Heidi: Hi Dr. Cabral! I love your podcast and all that it has taught me since I started listening about 6 months ago. Thank your for your dedication to making our world a healthier, more educated place! My question today is about newborns and vaccinations. My husband and I are expecting our first baby in a month. I am so overwhelmed about the vaccination situation and don’t know the “right” thing to do. My husband is against vaccinations, whereas I am pro vaccinations to some extent, but not completely. My question is- in your opinion are there some vaccinations that are more important than others and some we can choose to skip out on? And does a delayed vaccination schedule make a difference? I hate the idea of putting all of these synthetic chemicals in a newborns body, but I also couldn’t live with myself if my child ever got a terrible sickness from NOT being vaccinated. Thanks for your time and your expert advice! Justin: I recently ordered the Candida and Bacterial Overgrowth Protocol and am planning on starting it this week! I have a couple questions:1.  Should I adjust my strength training while on the protocol, and back off while my body is fighting the candida? I am a ectomorph body type-- I tend to be more sympathetic dominant, don't keep on muscle or weight easily, etc. I currently train 3 days a week full-body split. I was wondering if and how I should adjust my volume of training, as well as if I should eat less carbohydrates than usual for the first week or so, since I know training might be too much added "stress" if my body is fighting off candida. Or, do I not really need to worry about adjusting my training, and just go by feel for a little while.2.  Can I use a vegan protein powder for my shake that has seeds (flax, chia, pumpkin, etc.) in it's ingredients. I know for the first 21-28 days I need to eliminate nuts-- but are seeds okay? Also, this same protein powder has a "superfood blend" that includes onion powder as one of the ingredients-- is this okay or should I avoid it for now? Thanks! Ciara: Hi Dr. Cabral. Do you have any suggestions on how to get your body back into balance after pregnancy and breastfeeding? I'm 9 months pregnant and have spent a lot of time pre-pregnancy getting my body back in balance by doing a seasonal cabral detox, getting my hormones in check with your weight loss test and protocol, checking food sensitivities to address issues with my skin, eating a heavily plant-based diet and getting off birth control. My pregnancy hormones have me craving more carbs and processed foods, and now I've been getting intermittent yeast infections, which leads to an imbalance in my gut health. I'm also afraid that my skin is going to start breaking out again, because I've been craving the foods that I'm moderately sensitive too and eating more often (eggs and dairy). Besides doing a detox after I stop breastfeeding, do you have any suggestions for bringing that balance back into my body again?  Lisa: Can dental work like crowns and route canals ruin your health and cause cancer? I recently had a full mouth rehab since I was a night grinder and they put crowns on all my teeth and after the crowns were places I ended up having 5 route canals. I know there are a lot of toxins that are involved in dental work so are there any after protocols you suggest to rid the body of any toxins and damage that may be caused Kent: Dr Cabral, my wife has suffered from depression and anxiety for years. Her nutrition is not on point and we are working on that. She has recently been taking a supplement called Kratom and her mood, depression, and anxiety have all improved markedly. What are your feelings towards this supplement. Thank you so much for your time in this and all that you do. Thankfully, Kent  Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral! What is your opinion on Lasik for eyes? I have worn glasses and contacts since I was 12 for about 23 years and I have thought a lot about this route. Although, my opthamologist said to wait until I am done having kids and done nursing because the hormones cause a fluctuation in vision. Thank you!!  Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral! What is your opinion on canned goods - like chickpeas and black beans, sardines etc? Even though a lot of good brands now say "BPA free" that doesn't mean they're free from Bisphenols as there is BPS as well. Just curious how concerned you get over this? Also, at casa de Cabral, does your family use sprouted quinoa, sprouted nuts, sprouted oats 100%? Thank you! Susanne: Dear Stephen Cabral clinic First, Thank you for all your great work :o) I wanted to ask if you ship to Denmark were I live? I´m very interrested in you candida and yeast protocol. As am reading it, its a month on the supplement you discribing ? So the first month its : Digestive systems, Flora film and Saccharomyces boulardi and the next month the new products ? So the first month i would have to by the 3 supplements and the next month the new supplements ? If I don`t wan`t to buy all the supplements at the same time. Or am i suppose to keep taking the supplement from the first month the entire 3 month ? Thank you Kind regards Susanne  Julie: Dr. Cabral, Hi! I am a 36 year old married female - 5'7" around 135lbs, no major health concerns, eat a regular diet, and am currently following a 3-day-a-week strength training program. I recently decided to go off of birth control - I was taking Junel, which is a combination pill. I stopped it at the beginning of March, so I'm thinking that by the time you get to this question it will have been 3-4 months since stopping it. I had been taking birth control for 20 years - I can't remember exactly what age I started it but I was either 15-16 years old. I was originally prescribed the pill to help with heavy, very painful periods and I also had ovarian cysts. I have since read that those things are not that uncommon for teenage girls to experience and that, with age, those things may improve on their own. Anyway, I only went off the pill one other time, since then, in my early twenties for maybe 4-5 months at the most, and have otherwise taken it consistently. I do not plan to have children, but from what I understand ovulation can be important for overall female health, as well as the importance of progesterone vs progestins. Anyway, since stopping the pill I have been tracking signs for ovulation and so far I have not ovulated or had any sort of period whatsoever. I appear to have zero cycle of any kind. I know that it can take several months for my body to adjust but I'm wondering if you have any suggestions to help support my body to get back into a natural cycle. I have started taking zinc and magnesium for this reason. I'm considering peony and licorice combo, Vitex, or maybe to try seed cycling. Do you have any suggestions on the best supplements for this, or any other way to support my body in finding it's natural cycle again? Thanks for all you do - I've been learning a lot from your podcasts!  - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/933 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

932: Keto Hormone Crash, Metabolisms, Low T Test, Misinterpreted Bloodwork, Detox for Hardgainers, h Pylori supplements & testing, Type 1 Diabetes (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Sam: Hello Dr. Cabral - cheers to you and thank you for your work! What a breath of fresh air, I wish everyone had access to your practice! My situation seems to be a perfect storm of some topics you've covered in past. I'll try to be brief. I typically test as tridoshic. I'm a 5'8 female with a small frame and thin joints, but not a straight/flat frame (natural hourglass figure). I'm calm and balanced - not particularly energetic, nor sluggish. I was effortlessly thin/curvy despite not exercising...until I met candies and junk food in my late teens. For the next 15 years I slowly packed on about 30 pounds. My friend wanted to go keto and needed a support group, and since I struggle so much with sugar addiction, I started keto with her. Within 1 month of keto, I lost my menstrual cycle. I've had amenorrhea for 10 months now, despite reintroducing squash/fruit/root carbohydrates. I'm gaining weight again and I'm having trouble controlling my fruit intake (sugar addiction, still in full force!). With a damaged metabolism (new thyroid condition!) and no period, I have no idea what to do anymore. Doctors want to put me on HRT. I know in my heart that SO MANY women have done this to themselves with keto, so I wanted to submit this for all the ladies out there. Thank you for your wisdom, Sam PS: Can someone please email me when this question gets answered on the podcast? I'm still catching up with the older ones so I fear I might miss it. Thank you! Erich: I was reviewing a video that you did with Thomas DeLauer and you talked about different metabolisms for different bodies and that each body has its own challenges and strengths. You mentioned about taking some kind of test to know this better. I have a friend who is CONVINCED that he has metabolic issues and i was wondering what this test might be and who he might be able to reach out to in the Dallas TX area to have this test. Any advice you could provide would be most appreciated. Erich  Alex:  Hello. Love all the information you share!! I'm a 52 year old male, 5' 10", 155 pounds, 14% b.f. and have been tested and have low T. I am able to fall asleep easily at night but always wake up to use the facilities during the night and then often have difficulty falling asleep again. I work out 4-5 days a week but lately my workouts have not been as intense. I have been working out consistently for a long time but with very slow progress and I would like to put on another 5-10 pounds of muscle and get down to 10% b.f.. I will be ordering your Detox but wonder if it is the first thing I should do or should I do more testing before or do something else? Thank you again for all you do!! Alex Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral. My question for you is that I recently went and had my first physical in years. I took your advice from a podcast a few months back recommending blood tests. I have been suffering from food allergies and fatigue, depression/anxiety and in my early 20’s rapid weight gain that I still haven’t lost for years. My doctors gave me my results the other day and everything was good and on the lower side, however on my organic acids test a few of them came back lower than the normal range. She informed me that she couldn’t explain the results of the test because though I had requested it she didn’t know enough and offered to refer me to an Endocrinologist. I’m also going to see an allergist because she ran a basic blood work allergy panel and I came back negative, but in 2013 I was positive for a wide array of food and environmental allergies. So I guess what I’m asking is being that I am below normal range should I go to the Endocrinologist Or is it nothing to worry about? I really appericiate your time. Your podcasts are so informative and motivational.  Michael: Can the benefits of the program still be achieved if you do not want to lose any weight? Carlos: Hi doctor Cabral. I was diagnosed with h pylori in January and was doing triple therapy. Ever since then the symptoms have still been ongoing so I wanna try your healthy belly option. What is the Recommended dose for those? My physician wants to put me on triple therapy again and that’s my last resort as the side effects I experienced last time were horrendous. As always keep up the great work. Thank you for your time. Rebekah: Hi doctor! First, Thanks for all your hard work. I’m an avid podcast listener and LOVE learning about any and everything related to biology and functional medicine! I recently learned that certain microbes are more prone than others to “build” biofilms, h.pylori being one of them, which peaked my interest as I have family members who have been diagnosed with it and one that has dyspepsia but blood, breath, and biopsy are negative for h.pylori How reliable are biopsies of stomach tissue for finding Pylori And how is a stool test able to find waste markers of h.pylori if it were protected by a biofilm?  Jenny: Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your podcast and all the information you share to so many people. My husband who is 27 has type 1 diabetes and was diagnosed when he was 11. I have done some research and I have seen different articles about the old BCG TB vaccine that can cause the pancreas to begin to function again. There is also a new study on a technique that reprograms human skin cells into pancreatic beta cells that secrete insulin when exposed to glucose. They did a study on this with mice with diabetes and the beta cells functioned properly in regulating blood sugar levels, but one of the mice ended up with tumors due to cell reprogramming. My question is what your thoughts are on these studies and your recommendation on the best way to live with type 1 diabetes? Do you think it is possible to make a basically “dead pancrease” function again through nutrition and a healthy lifestyle? Type 1 is usually seen as something that cannot be cured and I don’t want to accept that as an answer until all other options have been exhausted.

928: The Parasite Protocol & Testing Procedures (TWT)

No one wants to think of themselves as harboring a parasite, but the current Center for Disease Control statistics state over 25% of the population has one... The problem is that the signs and symptoms of a parasite infection aren't always so straightforward...

927: How to Overcome Obstacles & Hardships (MM)

When I began to look at my "hardships" as challenges rather than obstacles that stood in my way everything in my life changed...

926: Marcons, Toxins Research, Weakened Immunity, Certifications, Cancer Tests, Monolaurin (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Mark: Hello Dr Cabral, After 13 pretty horrible years of undiagnosed heath issues I was finally diagnosed with systemic candida/gut dysbiosis/etc. For the most part I got better about 5 years ago mainly from using IV Ozone treatments. At that time after having about 20 years of sinus issues and a 93% deviated septum I decided to have nasal surgery for the septum and turbinate reduction. 2 weeks after surgery things got horribly worse…..the vertigo I had for many years came back, the daily disequilibrium, the nausea, and new symptoms of anxiety, depression, you name it. I am assuming from the IV antibiotics an oral antibiotics Doctors were trying this or that until my new Dr diagnosed me with Marcons. She says without getting rid of Marcons you cannot get rid of the other co-infections like candida, gut dysbiosis, etc. The problem is that when I try to treat the Marcons with traditional BEG spray or even silver with EDTA my VEGF falls and I nearly begin to seize up, I get minimal oxygen through my capillaries and have ended up in the ER multiple times for this. Do you know of any other Marcons treatments other than xylitol, sea salt, iodine, use, etc. that actually work? Maybe you could do a podcast on Marcons? Apparently while treating my Marcons my candida is now so bad that even 3 drops of GSE sends me for a loop and I feel horrible and can barely function. Sorry for the run on questions…just so much going on and very frustrated.  Paige: Hi there where can I find the research articles on fluoride , pesticides etc that cause cancer which you mention in this podcast about inflammation. Thank you Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral, Since December, my kids and I have been hit with every flu bug from strep throat to stomach flu, head colds to sinus infections. Earlier this year, I had a runny nose for about 15 days where I was constantly blowing my nose. Not sure if it was allergies or a sinus infection. About a month later I got hit with the flu. Most recently, I woke up with sinus pressure and a headache that started at my temples and radiated down the sides of my head to the base of my neck. This went on for three days with no relief from ibuprofen or sinus rinses. I finally broke down and took some sudafed. The headache finally went away but then I started coughing which I assume was a result of post nasal drip. About three weeks later, I was still coughing this phlegm based cough, but then my chest and ribs began to hurt. Feeling as if someone punched me all around my rib cage. I began to have a hard time breathing. I went to my MD and she said it wasn't pneumonia but that she could hear a rattling in my chest when I took a breath and that she could tell I was having a hard time taking air in. She offered an inhaler, musinex and cough medicine. Today, the coughing is a little better, but I keep waking up with sinus headaches and pressure and though I can breath through my nose during the day, It gets stuffy at night and I sound congested. I've been using "kick-it Sinus", "Serious Cough" and "Get Over It" by Wish Garden natural herbs. Does this sound like a virus or allergies? What could be causing me to get sick so much? Do you have any recommendations for the best way to build up my immune system?Thank you! Jen  Maura: I am a student finishing out my degree in exercise science and would love to get into the functional medicine world as a health coach. I was curious of what certifications you would recommend getting as I make my way into the working world and if there were specific companies you would say are better to receive the certification from than others. I appreciate any advice you can offer me. Thank you, Maura Robert: Hello, I just listened to Dr.Cabral podcast on Elitemen. I was interested in getting some tests done for my mom but unsure which ones would benefit her. She has Metasstatic Lung Cancer and is receive treatment every two months. I would love to see what other naturopathic ways she can be treated through the tests. Thanks...Robert Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral - have you ever heard of monolaurin helping to cure or prevent cold sores? If so, what are your thoughts on how to use it safely? Do you think it is a better option than lysine? Finally, what if I'm so sensitive that I tend to get cold sores or other reactions to the very products that are supposed to cure cold sores (like from vitamin C from absorbic acid)? It seems any time I try new foods or things to boost my immune systm, I trigger a cold sore. It is frustrating.

925: HSVII, IF Fasting Conflicts, Fast-Safe Teas, Auto-Immune Keto, Insurance, Die-Off Reactions, Greens Powder vs. Fruit (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Anonymous: I listened to episode 760 on how to destroy viruses. I finished the CBO protocol a couple weeks ago and I've moved on to the finisher supplements. I eat so well. I have even eliminated alcohol over the years. (I do have one cup of decaf coffee some mornings and I've cut down dark chocolate to a couple times a week.) I also abide by your Cabral Daily Protocol. I am still getting outbreaks of HSVII every 3 months. Im fortunate because they aren't very painful and heal within 4-5 days. However, it makes me a paranoid mess - am I cleaning the bathroom enough, etc... how contagious is it? What about when my toddler starts potty training and we share toilets? My intimate life with my husband is almost nonexistent for my developed fear around the virus, mainly because of asymptomatic shedding - the virus being present with no signs. How would you help a client get past these paranoias - especially if we want to have another child? Also, if outbreaks are still every 3 months - what is next the OAT, even though I just completed the CBO? In absolute gratitude for your work, ALWAYS!! Anonymous Amanda: Hi doctor Cabral! Thanks for your amazing podcast! Motivation Mondays are my favorites :) I was wondering if you could clear something up for me? I keep reading conflicting articles about intermittent fasting. The main concern I have is that it could throw the female hormone balance out of whack. What are your thoughts about it? Thank you! Amanda Sean:  Hi, I listened to the podcast on the health benefits of a 24 hour fast. Dr. Cabral said herbal teas were fine to drink during the fast. My question is: Can you use stevia with the tea during the fast or should you stay away from that as well? Thanks!  Linda: Thank you I'm a 69 year old 135 lb woman in great health until I found out in January that I have Hashimoto's. Been fasting 18/6 since Dec. Can that hinder the healing of my thyroid. I'm also following a ketogenic lifestyle and taking Armour Thyroid. Also I cycle and weight train 3 x per week. I've heard conflicting points of view regarding fasting and/or gym time while healing thyroid/autoimmune. Respect your work so much. Thank you in advance. Linda Erika: Can I take they candida and gut protocol if I’m breastfeeding? Jessica: Hi - I’m wondering if you know if certain insurance providers will reimburse for the lab tests. Also, how do your lab tests and prices compare to those I’d get from my primary care doctor? Lastly, if I could only purchase two lab tests which would you recommend? Thanks! Chelsey: Hi Dr Cabral! I have become addicted to your podcast and want to thank you for educating us all to become the best, healthiest versions of ourselves. I recently made some huge life changes, moving across the country (Boston to CA) and have really been inspired to get my lifestyle on track. For years I struggled with binge eating, sugar addictions, and pressure to drink on the weekends. My anxiety was high, my stress at work was AWFUL with a 2 hour commute each way. Safe to say, after listening, I believe I have major gut/thyroid/adrenal issues. I also believe I have over production of yeast- frequent infections and tinea versicolor on the skin. Since being here (a few months) I have nixed sugar in the butt, stay away from processed foods (clean ingredients only) and continue to enjoy exercise 5 days a week and be sure to get outside and live a balanced lifestyle. My question to you is, are there withdrawals In going through this process? I have frequent headaches and moodiness, sometimes low motivation. I feel the healthiest I have ever been, but at night I get pain in my neck and brain fog during the day. Does this relate to food intolerance now that my system is cleaning out? How long does it typically take to get these sort of Issues under control? Thank you in advance! Susanne: Hi! I would love to take several of the tests you offer, but I live in Spain? Do you ship to Spain? Or when do you think you will start to ship to Spain? In advance, thank you for your reply :) Kind regards, Susanne  William: Hi. I don't like/eat fruits and/or vegetables. Would the fruit and vegetable supplement work as a replacement for fruits and vegetables for me.

921: The Caffeine Cortisol Connection (Good or Bad?) (TWT)

At least in the US we tend to look at foods, diets, or supplements as either all good or all bad…   However, like most things the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle…   And no truer words have ever been spoken when it comes to talking about caffeine...   For one person caffeine can be a highly beneficial and positively improve brain cognition and other areas of the human body, while at the same time it has the power to create massive nervous system, hormonal & immune dysfunction in another…   This is why on today’s #CabralConcept 921 I want to review the “caffeine cortisol connection” to separate fact from fiction and show you how much may be beneficial and at what time in order to maximize effectiveness without as much downside - Enjoy the show! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/921 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

919: APOe Keto, Medical Mystery, Bone Marrow Supplement, Fearful Child, Fruitless Diet (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Judy: Hi! First off, my deepest gratitude for everything you and your team does! You’ve mentioned this on the show before but I was hoping you could elaborate. I recently found out I’m homozygous for apoe4. I was following a cyclical keto diet for about 2 years before finding out this information. My cholesterol was a high at 253, but my ratios were really good! I’m curious if you think those of us with this allele need to minimize all fats, including monounsaturated sources like olives and avocados, or are you only concerned with saturated? Thank you! Cole: Hi! I would love to hear your opinion on Kratom and whether or not you think it’s safe to consume regularly. Thank you! Rob: Hello Dr. Cabral! First, thanks for all that you do! I discovered your podcast last year, and I am hooked. I bought your book a few weeks ago, and I really enjoyed it! I am not sure if this is the correct spot to send questions for your podcast, so if not, I apologize. I am a 40-year-old male for over a decade I have always been dizzy, suffered from anxiety, and am always tired. About eight years ago I was diagnosed with Epstein Bar Virus, and it was pretty bad. Two years ago, I noticed white spots on me and had been diagnosed with Vitiligo. I suffer from heart palpitations, and just this morning went to the ER for chest pains. All testing came back normal, as it did the handful of other times I went to the ER. A couple of issues were noted in my bloodwork this time- low WBC ( 3.3 - this comes back low on most of my bloodwork), elevated bilirubin (always have this), High MCHC (35.8), and low Monocyte Absolute (0.2). I can not remember a time where I felt good. I exercise, eat well, and have been to numerous doctors and specialists who cannot find anything wrong. I am hoping that maybe you may be able to see something that they don't. Any help is appreciated! Sandy:  Dear Dr. Cabral, I was diagnosed with a high risk HPV after my last pap smear, and I really want to help my body expel the virus ASAP. Could you maybe give me some tips about the best way to do this? Thanks so much for your answer - and everything else you do! I always start my day with your podcast, and I know if anyone could help me, it’s you! Sandy Jay: Dr Cabral, what do you think about supplementing with Bone Marrow as an alternative to Bone Broth. I would think that ancient peoples would've eaten bone marrow and so I'm wondering if you have any thoughts. I found a bone marrow supplement that comes from New Zealand raised cows. Jamie:  Hello!! I have a question about my 10 year old son. He has had some bouts of anxiety over the course of the last two years. Nothing super dramatic but somewhat concerning when it occurs. A week or two of being fearful of eating for fear of choking, fears about something bad happening to him or his loved ones, fears of getting in trouble at school although he's a great student. A friend of mine mentioned the possibility of pandas syndrome but after reading about it he doesn't have most of the common symptoms (OCD and tics) but I can see where some of his fears overlap with common pandas fears. What would you suggest as a starting point for testing? Some say "all kids go through being fearful" but I can't help but wonder if there's more to this story? Is there something in particular you recommend as a starting point for young patients who struggle with anxiety? Thanks for your help! Mary: Hi there! My name is Mary, I'm 21 years old and have been listening to the podcast for a while now. Ever since I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme last year, I have been very interested in functional medicine and helping myself to feel better this way. I was on antibiotics for a while and now take valtrex twice a day along with many other supplements including activated charcoal, probiotics, vitamin c, cod liver oil, and a stamina blend. My doctor also has me on a diet of no dairy, no gluten, no fruit and no sugar. No dairy, gluten and sugar has been easier to give up but the natural sugars/ fruit has been much harder. I was wondering if this is normal to have this diet? Also I am almost equal in all ayervaydic doshas and want to help my diet to reflect that, how can I cater to all doshas while following this "lyme" diet? Thank you for all of your help, I hope to help people as well as you do one day!  - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/919 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

918: SARMs, 10-Undecenoic Acid, Swedish Doctor, Repeat Question, Organic Milk Allergy (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Coty:  Hi Dr. Cabral, your Podcast have quite literally been a life changer for me. I wanted to know your take on sarms and weight training. Their inital creation was for medical issues such as bone loss, mucsle dystrophy amongst other things. But applied to healthy diet coupled with 3-4 days a week in the gym, at very low dosages they been shown to have intense muscle mass gain and retention, increased endurance, and fast recovery/joint health. Sorry for such a drawn out question but I am interested to hear your unique insite on the subject. Thank you :) Diana: I love your show. I just found it a few weeks ago and have been catching up on older episodes, but it’s certainly not something I can do in a weekend. I just finished listening to a different podcast series on candida, which shall remain nameless because I have major issues with how the alternative medicine professional who made it represents all traditional medicine professionals as quacks. In this podcast, the person stated that ALL antifungal medications (they never said whether herbal supplements were included in this term) cause candida to switch from a yeast to a fungus, which is the harmful opportunistic form. The only way to combat fungal candida, according to them, is to take undecylenic acid (specifically 10-undecenoic acid rather than the salt form calcium undecylenate) to encourage candida to revert to its yeast form. All other fatty acids, including monolaurin, are in some ways antagonistic to candida and will force it into its fungal state. I’ve also read conflicting opinions about whether candida can acclimate to herbal antifungals or not. Some say herbs merely discourage candida rather than killing it so there’s no possibility for adaptation; others say candida can get used to herbs and will form a resistance against them so it’s necessary to cycle the supplements. I’d like to hear your thoughts on this. Obviously you believe in the herbal approach and also include undecylenic acid in your protocol (I think I’ve listened to the episode where you explain your protocol at least 4 times already). It’s been difficult to find reliable information explaining HOW herbal antifungals work and even harder to find an explanation about undecylenic acid. Thanks for everything you do, and if I can get through the day without having to type “undecylenic acid” again I’ll be very happy. Anton: Hello! I am really interested in alternative medicine, I live in Sweden and here we don't have any big titles in functional medicine. Everything that isn't conventional medicine is "alternative" and the only thing that is kind of accepted the non-conventinal way is chiropractic,massage and TCM. So my question will be; My dream is to be an ND (or something similar) and open a clinic like yours and help people in the alternative medicine way. I feel I little lost how to make it here in Sweden, Is the only option to move to Canada or US to get the ND degree, and start my clinic there? Thanks for all the valuable information, I use you as my Life-coach, you are my idol! Em: Hi Dr. Cabral, I suddenly have really bad allergies. Is there a cure for this? Don't want to rely on allergy medicine forever. Thanks! Judy: Is there a natural way to prevent motion sickness when in a car or plane? Also what are things I can do or take once I have the symptoms such as nausea, dizziness or headaches? Angela: Dear Dr. Cabral, My 9 month old has developed flushed red cheeks over the last two weeks. They have began to get a little scaly and very dry. The Dr said it was eczema and I am so upset and lost as to how it happened as I follow most good health principles. For example: - he was born vaginally, naturally with no drugs - We allowed the vernix to sit for a week - whole plant foods were introduced at 6 months - We eat almost 100% organic produce - We eat limited amounts of pasture raised, organic meats and wild caught fish like sardines and salmon. - We drink spring water - We use limited soap, only a little organic body wash every few days. - We give him Epsom salt baths once a week - The house is cleaned chemical free with vinegar etc - Clothes are washed with soap nuts and vinegar - we give him nude time in the sun on the grass each day to help his vitamin d levels I am beyond frustrated as I feel like I am doing everything by the book and yet he has still gotten eczema. The things that I think may have contributed to this are: - He was mixed fed from about 2 weeks old because he kept losing weight when I exclusively breast fed (I have insufficient glandular tissue) and I was able to mix feed between breast milk and organic cows milk formula for only 6 months. Now he gets all his milk from organic cows milk formula. - I make home-made milk kefir and he has some most days. I was giving it to him for a probiotic but am not sure if this created the problem. I have since stopped feeding it to him but there has no change in his skin as yet. I was hoping you could give your very valued opinion on what I could do to help my little boy. Thank you so much for taking the time to read! I know it was a lot of information but I thought this might help you to get a better understanding of the situation. And thank you for your fantastic podcast I have learn so much from it and it inspires me daily to make better decisions for the health of my family.

917: Top 8 Unhealthiest Meals, Best EMF Meter, Glutathione Boost (FR)

One of the best parts about my work is that I get sent "insane health articles" everyday where people want to see what my take (or reaction ; ) would be to them...

916: How to Create Split Body Part Training Routines (TT)

915: Lose Weight with Ease by Balancing These Hormones (WW)

If your goal is to transform your body and lose weight, you absolutely must get these hormones under control... Without balancing your hormones, you simply won't be able to process carbohydrates, stress, and toxins, or eliminate fat the way your body was intended to... This means that simply exercising more and eating less will no longer work for you if your hormones are "out of whack"...

913: The 9 Time-Tested Ways to Boost Your Mood (MM)

I used to try to maintain a happy and "zen" mood 100% of the time until I realized that not only is that goal not possible, it's really not that healthy... So although I now believe it's best to allow yourself to experience every emotion in life, it's also equally as important to be able to pull yourself out of a low mood quickly - Because if you don't, you risk affecting every other area of your life with potentially long-lasting repercussions...

912: Intestinal Issues, Sick for 5 Years, Infant Supplements, Non-Toxic Furniture, Contact Lens Solution, Maintenance Diet, Parasite Test, Alternating Arthritis (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Janine: Dear (team) Stephen, First if all i would like to dat that i absolutely love your podcast, very inspiring!! I have a question about the 21 Detox: I live in the Netherlands, So it is not possible for me to order the ‘all nutricion proteinpowder’. What can I choose instead of the poeder to make my morning shake with? (So I get the protein en vitamins that are in the poeder). Thank you in regard for answering. With kind regards, Janine van wijck Deanna: Hi there, I’ve been dealing with intestinal issues since 2010. I eat relatively healthy, drink lots of water and exercise. I’ve tried diets/pills but it never seems to be the answer to my problems. I drink a herbal tea every night in order to have a bowel movement in the morning. I don’t have extreme symptoms, I have occasional gas and bloating but I am always constipated and usually very irritatable. I feel I may have a bacterial overgrowth. I’d like to finally get to the bottom of this and heal my gut, balance my gut and get to living a life that does not revolve around my gut issues. Could you please help me with this. I am willing to do whatever it takes. Thank you. Deanna Doherty  Linda: Your site was recommended (from friends) that got their health improved over three months. I have been sick for over 5 years double over with stomach and intestinal pain, bowels vary from diarrhea, severe gas, upper reflex, constipation, bleching, my rectum is always burning. I have many test and the results were negative, I was told to take nexium 2x a day for the rest of my life, I am not on any regular medication due to the high cost. I took myself off of the stomach pills because there is little results, I just stopped Gabepentin, migraine medication. I suffer with asthma. I am so frustrated and with no medical insurance I don’t know were to find help. The last 5 years I have noticed my tigger foods any thing in onion family, garlic, black pepper, sugar, nutmeg are a few that give me extreme pain. My question is how can I narrow my search to what will help, I started a program in September protein shakes and have lost over 50 pounds but I am still very over weight. I also have autoimmune disease since 1995. Thank you Linda  Cara:  Hi Dr. Cabral! I give my 2 1/2 year old 1/4 scoop of your DNC in her morning smoothie, 1/4 teaspoon of your DFV plus I was giving her Klaire Lab Infant probiotic still but I just ran out. Not sure if that was the best for her infant to 2 years, but it's what had been recommended to me. Can I give her a portion of your Daily Probiotic at this point in time? As far as boosting immune system before traveling via airplanes I always would give her elderberry, extra probiotic and I'd sprinkle camucamu on top of that concoction. Is Camucamu still a good choice or could I give her a portion of the Full Spectrum Vitamin C? She is about 23 pounds. Thank you for all you do!! Cara:  Hi Dr. Cabral! I am almost through your Rain Barrel Effect book - it is absolutely incredible and very practical for everyone as a foundation. I'm curious about your take on furniture - couches and beds without flame retardants, they are hard to find. We got ourselves an Intellibed when I was pregnant because it doesn't have flame retardants - they use silica thread to serve that purpose. We got my daughter a Naturpedic mattress. We got a couch at a boutique place where it was refurbished and no chemicals. Just thought I'd check in and see your mattress / pillow recommendations. I know you gave a great bamboo sheet recommendation. In gratitude!! Thank you for all you do!! Donna:  Greetings Dr. Cabral, I have three options of daily contact lenses I'm looking at and would love your advice on the following;1. Acuvue Moist contacts in a solution of 58% H2O in buffered saline with povidone. 2. Bio True contacts in a solution of 78% water immersed in a solution of borate buffered saline. 3. Aqua Comfort Plus in a solution of 31% nelfilcon A, 69% water, in buffered saline containing PEG and HPMC. The saline may contain up to 0.05% Poloxamer. Also, are contacts safe to wear out in the sun or does the sunshine effect the material of the contacts like heat does to plastic bottles? Thank You for sharing all of your knowledge, experience, and advice on so many topics relating to health and nutrition. Respectfully, Donna  Danelle:  Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to a ton of podcasts and yours is my favorite. I'd love to know what kind of diet you follow. Maybe you could tell us what you normally eat in a day? Much gratitude to you, Danelle Zhang: Greeting Dr Cabral. I have a question about the parasite test you use. I've heard from another functional medicine practitioner (Evan Brand) that the GI-Map genetic based stool test is the best stool test on the market. I am wondering why you feel Biohealth's is superior to GI Map's stool test? Thank-you Ann Marie: Hi there! New listener, my daughter turned me onto you and so happy to have found you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm a 67 year old woman, my question is how do you know if you have arthritis? I have had pain for about 6 months that started in the hip, then moved to shoulder and now back. It seems the pain is moving around my body. At its worst, it is at a 8/10. I have been taking Ibuprofen for pain but obviously don't want to take that everyday. What can I do? I know I can clean up my diet a bit so what should I absolutely stay away from?

911: Right Rib Pain, 1:1 Support, Non-Hormonal Contraceptives, Explosive Lifts, Adaptogen Directions, Plant Protein, Knee Pain (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Sean: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’ve been listening to your podcasts for the last few months and I’m really loving them! I have a question for a friend of mine that’s dealing with an issue. For the past 5 years she has been experiencing a sharp pain in her right side (just below ribs) and she’s gone to a general practitioner several times to get help. They’ve done ultrasounds and X-rays and haven’t found anything that would be causing the pain. I thought I’d reach out to you on her behalf so she can figure out the issue and hopefully overcome it! Thanks! Sean  Jennifer: Hi there, I have two questions. 1.  Is the Daily Protocol Powder appropriate for nursing mother's to take, even though the green powder contains spirulina? I am taking an IV of antibiotics during my delivery and would like to get back on a gut healing / vitamin rich protocol as soon as possible. 2.  I suspect that my mother-in-law may have candida overgrowth and she is interested in testing with Dr. Cabral. Is it better to set up a consultation and go through the 3-month program with Dr. C or a health coach than independently order the lab? I know that she will benefit from having a tailored program with 1:1 support, and think that applying for the consulting package is better. Thank you! Jennifer  Kim: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for the show, love your podcast! I have 2 questions: 1) which non-hormonal contraceptives can you recommend? except condoms. what do you think about the copper spiral? 2) Is Stevia ok? Thanks a lot and best regards from Germany, Kim  Lorenzo: Hello Dr Cabral! I am 32 and have gone through many fitness transitions over the last 15 years from distance running to power lifting to couch potato then crossfit. I’ve been listening to you for over a year and have moved to your recommendations of a full body routine 2-3 times a week and have been feeling better than ever. I would like to start incorporating more explosive lifts, just because I enjoy them. How would you include kettlebell and barbell clean and jerks and snatches in your full body routine?  Chris: Hey Doctor Cabral, my question is about adaptogens. About a week ago I started taking adapt, 2 with breakfast and 2 with dinner, to help with my healing from adrenal fatigue and balance cortisol levels. A week before that I finally was able to get really good sleep consistently, finally and be able to sleep the entire night without being woken. I figured adding hpa adapt to my regimen would give me that last kick to help calm my body. At first I felt really calmed down from it almost too calm, but it felt better than being too high energy. Cut to a week later and now my body although it doesn't feel anxious energy, it feels a lot of energy being so that I cannot fall asleep at all at night, no matter how much melatonin I take my body literally won't shut down. I'm curious as to why that is, I know that adaptogens are supposed to adapt to stress but going from too calm to too wired seems weird. I will also mention that I am a 26 year old pitta and I've tried taking a b complex prior but that makes me very jittery. Thanks!  Valerie:  Hello Dr. Cabral! Really enjoy your Podcasts and I look forward to them everyday. I switched to a Whole Foods Plant Based (WFPBD) in early March and I feel amazing! I’ve read that a women should be getting about 48g of protein per day. I try and have three 1/2 cup servings of legumes a day. I wanted to add more throughout the day. My job doesn’t allow me to sit down and have a meal so, I bring my food in small mason jars. I usually try and have a main dish ( in a hot flask) and two different kinds of vegetables in my mason jars as well as fruit. I saw a Holistic Nutritionist and she said as a WFPBD is incomplete protein, I can have as much as I want. Today I listed to a YouTube video, by Dr McDougall and he said no more than a 1 cup serving a day, as to much protein leads to calcium loss, even if your on a WFPBD. Dr. Gregor says only 3 servings a day and he states that the incomplete protein statement is invalid, as there have been no concrete studies done to prove this. I find it confusing and a lot of conflicting information. What is your views on this? How much protein should you be getting, when on a WFPBD? Mea:  Hi Dr Cabral, I have intermittent knee pain, but my DO cannot find anything structurally wrong with my knees. This is making me think it may be an inflammation issue. After 1.5 years of this, I am ready to cut the dairy, gluten, sugar, soy, corn out of my diet but if was wondering if you have any additional recommendations. I am 30, female, no history of injuries, and my work out routine has not changed. I eat mostly whole foods aside from milk in coffee (could coffee also be part of this?). Also still battling acne since my teens. Your podcast is wonderful, thank you so much for all that you do.

909: The Answer to How Often You Should Be Exercising (TT)

When it comes to exercise you essentially have 3 camps: 1. There are those people that love to exercise - it boost their spirits and they couldn't imagine living without it... 2. Then you have the people that exercise, but only because they need to to stay in shape, or because they know it's healthy for them... 3. And then there's the last group that has no interest in exercising even though they know (deep down ; ) it would help them transform their body and get healthy...

908: Instead of Counting Macros Focus on This (WW)

I consider it a great privilege to get asked to answer hundreds of questions a day and luckily I have an amazing team to help our community...   Also, having the ability to see what people care about the most allows me an endless stream of podcast and article topics...   One of which that has been popular lately seems to revolve around how many grams of carbohydrates, protein, and fat you should consume per day...   And while I’ve created extremely precise diet plans like this for athletes, figure competitors, and celebrities, for the everyday living it’s simply not worth your time (or effort)...   The reason I say that is because you can get 90%+ of those same results without all the weighing, measuring, and stress...   That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 908 I want to share with you the simple meal planning template I use in my Functional Medicine practice to help people reach their wellness and body transformation goals (healthily) - Enjoy the show!   - - -    Show Notes & Resources:   http://StephenCabral.com/908   - - -   Get Your Question Answered & Join the Community:   http://CabralSupportGroup.com

905: Altitude Sickness, Candida Glabrata, Male Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Thinning Hair, Cancer & Thyroid, Higher Education, Thinning Skin (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Ashley: First off thanks for all of the amazing podcasts, I’m fairly new to them but you’re the only podcast I listen to on a regular basis because the information is so applicable to not only my life but the lives of people around me! Quick question, I’m from Indiana and recently went on a snowboarding trip to Keystone, CO. The second day I noticed a headache that Dr. Google led me to believe was a tension headache and my resting heart rate was in the hundreds, I believe I was experiencing issues with the altitude and it seemed to get worse until we boarded the plane to head home. I believe my Indiana lungs / heart couldn’t handle the elevation. I don’t plan on giving up traveling to these high elevations, is there any way to prepare my body for another high altitude trip? Normal resting HR in the 60’s, drink recommend fl. oz. of water per day if not more, hot yoga recently started, lift 3x a week, no caffeine drinks ever...much room for improvement though! Thanks for everything! :) Merrin: Hi, I have been battling a mild candida glabrata vaginal infection for 12 months. I've tried the candida diet and boric acid but nothing has worked. I'm about to start a 5 week course of amphotericin cream and am wondering if you have experience in helping women specifically with candida glabrata (non-albicans)? I'm in Australia, so do you do skype consults and how do I access any necessary supplements? BTW - I love your podcasts! Don: DR. Cabral, For the last 7 to 8 years I’ve been dealing with what my Urologists calls pelvic floor dysfunction. Meaning when I eat certain foods it causes my bladder to spasm which pushes on my pelvic floor tightening the muscles, making me feel like I need to use the bathroom more often. The worst time for this is of course at night. Often this can be severe enough to cause some burning or stinging at the end of my penis. I first noticed this after eating sweet fruits like pineapple, mangos, spotted bananas, and citrus fruits especially lemons. But the past couple years it has progressed to foods like sweet potatoes, cooked carrots and occasionally squash. My urologist said the only thing that I can do is eliminate the trigger foods, but the list keeps getting longer. Also I’ve noticed stress and any type of single leg exercises (like lunges) can aggravate this issue as well. Things I’ve have tried; deep breathing, meditation, kegels, an anti-anxiety medication, and yoga, none of which seemed to help. Is this a pelvic floor issue; meaning my pelvic floor needs to be stretched or strengthened? Or do you think it is something internal going on that I need to get taken care of? I want to make sure I am making good choices financially to get this handled, but I’m not sure if I should run one of your lab tests first or just go straight to the Urinary Protocol, or maybe it is something else like Candida Overgrowth. P.S. Love the show, I originally heard you on Renegade radio with Jason Ferruggia. I’m so glad I found you. Thanks, Don Emily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm a 26 years old female experiencing thinning of hair and hair loss. I have a section that is becoming bald. I have been on birth control pills for 10 years. No family history of hair loss. Relatively healthy. Not stressed out. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help Gail: Hi Dr Cabral, Love your podcasts, they have given me so much inspiration to get well.Ten years ago I had breast cancer.Lumpectomy,6months of chemotherapy,12 weeks radiation,steroids etc followed by 5 years of follow up meds,etc. My thyroid went crazy, been on thyroxine ever since.I would appreciate your advise on a place to start on my way back to health. Cheers Gail Celeste: Hello Dr. Cabral, Much like you, my introduction to natural healing and functional medicine began after I had an ailment that medicine couldn't solve. The healing I saw my body do for itself was so life changing that I decided to change my entire college path to try and leverage schooling to educate others about our body's natural ability to heal itself. I am about to graduate from college with a basic Health Science degree. I was just wondering what advice you had on my next steps? I want to go to graduate school eventually. I have been going back and forth between some type of Nutrition degree, PT school, or....? I am at a loss for where to go. My ideal job would be a health coach or something along those lines. Do you have any recommendations for a graduate program or certificate program I can begin to look into for the upcoming few years? Thank you! Carla: Hi Dr. Cabral, Is there a way to naturally restore thinning skin? I'm 36 and was treating what I think are flat warts on the back of my hands with tea tree oil, and while it hasn't seemed to do much for the warts it's significantly thinned my skin. It looks kind of like smooth wrinkled tissue paper and gets dry very easily and sore if I wash my hands a lot. I work with my hands which doesn't help, but I've been putting sesame, castor and coconut oils on at night and whenever I can, but they haven't really done much. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks very much!

904: Gluten-Free Greens, Thyroid & Pregnancy, Smoothie Bloat, Gluten-Free Options, Adrenal Adaptogens, Birth Control Acne, Cancer & Hormones (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Kara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I purchased the greens for the time being assuming it was gluten free (I have celiac's) like your Equilibrium greens. After a few uses I was reading the label more closely and there is no gluten free certified mark on the container. I have stopped use but before I give the product away I wanted to get your opinion if you think greens is safe. Some websites said it was gluten free while others had no mention of it being gluten free or not. I know contamination can come from incorrect timing of harvesting wheat and barley grass. Sophia:  Hi Dr. Cabral/team, You were recommended to me as a good resource for potentially getting a second opinion on some medical issues I am having. I am a 25 yo pregnant female. The back story is I have always had hypothyroid symptoms but normal labs by standard western medicine guidelines (tsh) in August of 2017 I decided to see a naturopath who tested my thyroid antibodies and also found a large nodule on the left side of my thyroid. My antibody results were elevated indicative of hashimotos which runs in my family. The naturopath suggested I see an endocrinologist for evaluation of my nodule. I had an ultrasound done this January which was abnormal and suspicious of malignancy. I had an FNA to follow which again came back with abnormal but inconclusive results. My sample was sent for genetic pathology screening which came back with a BRAFV600E mutation 95% positive for malignancy. It is being recommended I have a complete thyroidectomy once the baby is born. I want to do what is best but something doesn’t sit right with me about taking my whole thyroid out. I am trying to educate myself as much as possible before October when I make my final decision. I’m mostly concerned about the impact not having a thyroid will have on my overall health and if I do need to have it removed what can I do to try and counter negative effects. I’m hoping for a second opinion of a complete thyroidectomy sounds reasonable in my case. Thank you!! Sarah: Hi! I came across Stephen Cabral’s podcasts a month ago and I’ve been watching everyday ever since :) Just wanted to let you guys know that they’ve been so so so helpful and I wish I had found them earlier.. anyways thank you for doing what you’re doing and here’s my question: Why do I get so bloated whenever I take my morning smoothie breakfast? Here’s usually what’s in my smoothie: frozen berries (sometimes frozen bananas) + 2 tablespoon pea protein + quarter avocado OR coconut milk + 1 pc dates/fig + kale + sprinkle of cinnamon powder and toppings are a mixture of chia seeds + activated nuts and seeds + goji berries/mulberries, unsweetened coconut flakes + buckwheat + occasional sprinkle of cacao nibs. I’m also on a paleo diet (8 months now) and I take digestive enzymes, gut repair supplement, probiotics and aloe vera juice to heal my gut. Initially when I first started having the breakfast smoothie I felt good but I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve been taking the breakfast smoothie too often that my body started to develop some kind of intolerances towards it? Thank you!! Sarah Ryan:  I recently took the Food Sensitivity Test and tested high for Dairy, Wheat Gluten, Eggs, Bakers & Brewers Yeast, and Alomonds. So I have a few questions: (1) I'm finding very hard to find foods that don't contain all of these, especially snacks, as most of the GF items I find are made with Almonds. Any suggestions on what i can eat or where i can find a list of good choices? There are only so many fruits and vegetables I can eat before I want to rip openn a bag of potato chips and eat the whole thing. (2) Is Gluten Free the same as Yeast Free? If not, please explain the difference and how to go about reading labels, what to look for, and suggestions on what to eat (see #1) (3) How do you calcualte the # of calories you should eat per day; AND; how do you calcualte the % ratio of Macros. I know you aren't supposed to self diagnose your bodytype, but I think I am an Endomorph / Mesomorph currently weighing 205. I'd like to get down to 195-200. I do intermitent fasting (16/8 protocol); my first meal is at 12:00 and I have the Daily Nutritional Support shake, next meal around 2:30-3:00, and dinner around 7:30. There are so many caluclations out there on the 'average' male. Can you help in explaining the right way to calcualte calories and % breakdown of MACROS (Protein / Fat / Carbs) Why do you need to calculate your macros? Unless you have a rigid fitness goal there’s no need to be so rigid. Check out all my previous prodcasts on how to make your plate 50-75% vegetables. Starch for weight gain. Chris: Hey Doctor Cabral! After finally healing my gut and now that I'm able to tolerate herbs such as ashwagandha which used to give me brain fog and anxiety, now I have no side affects and notice all the benefits finally! I am taking the hpa to help give me that extra boost to healing my adrenal fatigue and balance cortisol. My question is, I've heard that you should cycle adaptogens in order to prevent your body from getting used to it. With cycles such as 8 weeks on 4 weeks off. Any truth to this? If so should you cycle different adaptogens in the mean time? So far the herbs seem like there doing wonders for my body I just don't want to over do it and it lose it's affects. Thanks! Lee:  Hello Dr. Cabral, First of all, I just want to thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world. I find your story and what you do for others so inspiring. I am very grateful for your podcast! My question is related to hormones and cystic acne. I am almost 40 years old, not currently on birth control but recently had a situation in which I had to take the Plan B contraceptive. I really didn't want to do this, knowing how much this could mess with my hormones, etc but felt this was the best case scenario considering the alternative. This was about six weeks ago and for the past month I have been battling non-stop cystic acne on my chin and even a bit of weight gain/overall bloating & puffiness. I do have a history of cystic acne ( especially when I was on the pill years ago) but have cleared it for some time. I currently take probiotics, use natural skin care products and eat relatively clean. Is there anything I can do to reset my hormones and get back to normal? I'm just not sure where to start. Thank you in advance for your advice! All the best, Lee Kay Dee: Dear Doc, I have tried most everything and since my terminal diagnosis 7 years ago, and my refusal to accept modern medicine, I have been cancer clear and healed a LOT, BU.Y I am still confused and working hard to heal what is left. Due to an emergency operation to remove a very large rumour that was my ovary, I have had a reactive m sensitive body with early menopause. Only one ovary, yet my body seemed shocked and I have had hormonal and food and weight prob,ems since, after a lifetime of normal body weight. The only way it goes is if my diet is extremely basic. I also have to take some oestrogen and progesterone . I did have a functional medicine consultation and. Some tests, in which I was found to have lower levels than a menopausal woman, this was two years ago. I still get some hot flushes at night, but what was once life destroying symptoms , I have managed to get down to annoying and sleep interfering symptoms. I will eat plain veggies and some fish and a little fruit and maybe arrowroot and coconut flour and will improve, but if I have rice or any beans I start to get fatter, and swollen, also my mood takes a tumble. I did have signs of mould in our last house, and we moved out of concern for its effects. Sometimes my inflammation seems to be irrational, I felt joint pain at the sites of old injuries, I hurt my toe badly 3 years ago and the joint never fully healed it seems. I have a LOT of constipation and nothing I eat seems to help unless I take herbal colon formulas. I do also sometimes get mild palpitations at night, and wake hot, and have to wait for it to pass. Then it appears randomly, I will sleep through the night! My libido has suffered and I have had incredible downs at points. Also my hair is not as thick as it was and I have had some hair loss, but at the moment it’s growing well, that seems up and down too. They did take my appendix out as well as the ovary, even though I asked them to touch nothing else, and I do wonder if this has affected me adversely. I know if I don’t resolve these final issues, they could mount and make me sick again. So I reach out to you, because your extensive knowledge and gifted experience I have never done into contact with before. I believe full health is possible, not matter what your previous challenges and when I look back I wonder if, like many women , I have always had hornaonal issues? PMT, water retention, mood difficulties , the in later life the pill, the morning after pill etc. The cancer I had was pseudomyoxma peritonei, supposedly incurable, but I have been totally free of it just a few months after my diagnosis 7 years ago. This cancer supposedly starts in the appendix and travels to the ovary. I thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart, because all I have done and learned has bought me a long way, but I need some help on these last confusing difficulties .... Love and wishes Kay Dee PS. I listen to a LOT of podcasts and read a LOT, your podcast is exemplary.

The worst thing you can do is to realize that something is wrong with your body and then deny the symptoms are there and just brush them off...

899: Top Psychologist Explains the Purpose & Meaning of Life (MM)

I used to ask myself all the time what's the whole point to what seems to be a mundane day-to-day existence... I simply had no idea what I was supposed to be doing and I had little idea what the point of it would be anyway...

898: Shake Consistency, Abdominal Discomfort, Dissolve Lipomas, Keratosis Pilaris (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks! Let’s get started! Anne: Dr Cabral, I just started into a new case of daily nutritional support. I buy the 6 and get 2 free amount every several months. I started with a 2 week detox and have continued for the last 14 months with a shake for breakfast, plant based lunch and reasonable dinner. I have lost 40 pounds and went from 160 to 120 #. So thrilled with my new me! Thank you! I just am disappointed again with the flavor change of the daily nutritional support. I got a batch a half year ago or so that was tasteless and I found out the stevia was left out. My next batch was back to great taste. Now this new batch is pretty tasteless again and wondering what the difference is now? I’m mostly disappointed with the inconsistency of the product...it is very expensive for me to buy and I’m hesitant to keep purchasing it if the flavor keeps changing. Madison:  Hi there! I heard of your podcast via Melissa Ambrosini, and it came at the *perfect* time. After running a stool sample + blood work with my local chiro and finding klebsiella pneumoniae and microbial yeast overgrowth (candida). We did a standard treatment he always prescribes for this, cut out kombucha and I started eating all foods (I'd been gluten/dairy avoidant for years, thinking it was a dairy allergy). Things got better until they didn't... and now, 6 months out, have worse abdominal bloating and discomfort than before. (I'm talking side/liver pain, terrible + embarrassing gas, discomfort and going from loose stools to constipation and back again. IBS seems to be the thing all the doctors are saying, as I can't trace *one food* that causes an issue consistently. It's dairy, sometimes. Smoothies, sometimes. Greens, sometimes. Wheat, sometimes. Things really flared up after traveling to Australia and eating the airplane food. I feel strongly after listening to your podcast that your candida protocol would serve me well! I don't think it's just IBS, especially after having this testing. Plus, I was on a z-pack 3-4 x a year, *every year* as a child, on antibiotics for acne and birth control for a few years too. My main question is: do I need to do more testing since it's been 6 months? Or am I good to purchase the full protocol based on the blood work and stool samples I already have? I'm open to applying to work one on one, however know it's a large financial commitment and if I already have the tests, it might not be necessary! Thanks so much for taking the time! I look forward to completely healing! -Madison P.S. It's worth mentioning that diverticulitis also runs in my family, and almost everyone has gut issues. It *could* be that too? Tiffany:  I am seeing a Naturopath in Atlanta about my fatty lipomas under the skin. She seems to know what she's talking about and after listening to several of your podcasts, I think she has put me on the right path. I would love to know if you have had experience with lipomas and have successfully treated them? I am 45 y.o., 133 lbs, and work out 5 times/week. I am "healthy" by western medicine standards, but have had gut issues and am now on Dr. # 4 trying to figure out what's causing the lipomas to appear. Dr. Kate Brooks says they are related to blood flukes, and immune/gut/inflammation issues and I have been on a host of supplements and minerals for the last month. I hope this will work, as I'm spending lots of $$$ on these supplements (none are her own brand. she recommends different ones). Stephanie:  I'm writing in about my 9 year old son. He has a bad case of Keratosis Pilaris. I searched previous podcasts for Keratosis Pilaris but couldn't find any so I'm here asking your expertise. He recently finished your children's CBO protocol and followed it up with the gut rebuilding. The bumps on his arms are a lot better but the ones on his legs almost look worse. He had a history of antibiotics as a child BC of kidney problems (which is why we chose to do the CBO protocol). Wondering if this is diet related or what we can do to clear it up?

897: Heal ThySelf, Acidity, Phantosmia, Thalessemia, Lichen Sclerosus, Neuropathy, Burping & Gurgling (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Kylie: Hi Stephen! My name is Kylie and I’m from Australia. First of all I want to say thank you for everything your doing to help others all over the world. I came across your podcast only recently and have been binge listening ever since. The fact that you want to share your hard earned knowledge and reach out to help as many people as you can is truely inspiring! I am a mother of 3 beautiful children (9,7,5) and over the last few years have slowly felt my health start to suffer, where now I’m at a point where I feel completely overwhelmed, lost, unable to sleep, brain fog, moody, very VERY low libido, yeast infections, Dry skin, low mood and bloating. 6 years ago I learnt how nutrition played an important role in overall health. I eat clean whole foods- lots of veg, fruit, small amounts of red meat, fish, chicken, some nuts and seeds, healthy fats. No gluten, refined sugars, processed foods, alcohol or dairy. Bit of background- relatively healthy childhood. I was extreamly sick throughout all my pregnancies and was put on steroids for my 3rd pregnancy so I could just function. After I weened my 3rd child I noticed a huge hormonal shift that has never really normalised (negative mood, skin complexion, low libido, feeling down) Have been to doctors about my issues and without testing have just told me maybe I have IBS, pomphlox eczema (gave me steroid creams) and try to put me on anti-anxiety drugs. I have had a huge passion for health and wellness for many years and know that there is a root cause for all that’s going on health wise for me. I have lost faith in my GP and want to start putting my health and my life together. On one of your episodes, you mentioned, that in order to heal, you knew you had to switch off your “fight or flight” response. That healing cannot commence until we are calm and in a parasympathetic mode. I want to know more about how you made this switch and where I need to begin to start getting myself better. I also start studying nutrition next month and want to have the energy and focus to do so. Thank you, and I hope you can help me. With love, Kylie  Chris: Hey Doctor Cabral! I'm a 26 year old, Pitta, exercise 5 times a week (bodybuilding style) and only have a once a week cheat meal like yourself. Stick to a 40/30/30 Carbs to protein to fat ratio. About six months ago I finished your cbo protocol for Sibo, h pylori and e coli. Although the healing has been a long process, now I feel great, I have no more bloating or brain fog even when I eat high fodmap foods. Still healing my adrenals which are much better with recently adding bitter melon to stabilize blood sugar seemed to help a lot especially with sleep. My only problem right now is I am still Constipated if I don't consume at least 800mg of magnesium daily. Right after the CBO protocol I tried to re build stomach acid and used ginger tea with meals only to have a severe burning in my stomach which significantly felt like it eroded my lining irritating it. It made sleeping a nightmare as my stomach would be pulsing all night. I began to take colloid silver and healthy belly for 2 months in case there was any h pylori still there. Then I started taking pepto bismol morning and night as a coating for my stomach as natural herbs gave me brain fog. 3 months later and my stomach was healed enough to switch to slippery elm and marshmallow root which have done wonders in soothing my stomach but now since I stopped the pepto bismol it feels like my motility is even slower. Right now I take glutamine, your daily activated multi, vitamin d, fish oil, melatonin, slippery elm, marshmallow root, your daily probiotic and a digestive enzyme. Zinc in any form even with food makes me nauseous and cannot tolerate gse at all, very irritating. Never have been able to tolerate citrus well for that matter. Have one cup of coffee with theanine in the morning. I also notice occasional bubbly urine. And I don't think it's h pylori only because I always have HUGE appetite lol. But in case I was thinking I may need to do some more colloidal silver and mastic gum again or maybe work on cooling herbs like amla to calm down and soothe my pitta? Or maybe its the adrenals? Sorry this is long, just wanted to be thorough. Lab testing is a little out of budget right now so any advice is much appreaciated. Thanks and loved your book by the way!   Elyssa: Hi! Big fan of your podcast and have learned so much from you. I'm 29 and suffer from a smell disorder, Phantosmia, for the past 10 years of my life along with anxiety. I was originally mis-diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and took several anti-Epileptic drugs for 6 years without much relief. When I got off all medication, I tried other methods of relief such as acupuncture with no success. I am now seeing a functional doctor who thinks based on my blood work, I have a low functioning immune system, deficiency in B12, and infection in my gut. I am drinking celery juice every morning to restore hydrocloric acid in my stomach and help get my digestive system functioning better. I'm very active and eat a very healthy, whole food diet. I just want to be better and get rid of this awful smell and anxiety, how do you think I can get cured of this?   Kelly: Hello Dr. Cabral! Love your podcast and listen every day! I was told when I was a teen that I have a genetic disorder in which my red blood cells are irregularly shaped. Specifically, my doc told me that my hemoglobin only holds 3 molecules of oxygen instead of 4. I researched this online as an adult and believe it is called Thalessemia. I was never told that I need blood transfusions, but the doc told me I would need to take iron supplements for the rest of my life. I have gone through periods of not taking the supplements out of fear of iron toxicity and negative log term effects of metal overdose. However, my energy decreases, I feel faint, and I experience negative psychological issues (especially in the days following menstruation) and eventually I return to supplementation. I am a clean eating vegan but I have never been athletic and easily become exhausted with overexertion and burnout easily in intensely mentally stressful situations. Can you please advise whether you think it's safe to be on a 150% RDA iron supplement for a condition like this or am I right to be concerned with the negative consequences of lifelong iron intake? Can you please tell me what you recommendations for someone with Thalassemia (and Gilbert's Syndrome) because research seems limited on the topic? THANK YOU! Sue: Hi Dr Cabral, I’m a big fan and love listening to your podcasts whenever I have a down moment. Thank you for doing them and helping so many. I am a 38 yr old female and have dealt with Lichen Sclerosus of the vulva, perineum and anus for about 11 years now. It’s so uncomfortable it’s become crazy making. It’s impacted my ability to get a continuous scratch-free night’s sleep for years. Do you have any non-hormonal and non-steroid recommendations to help with the root cause or even the itchiness? My health background: Age 3 kidney failure from e. Coli and believe to have contracted Hep C while in the hospital, age 17 (1996) diagnosed with Hep C, age 20 got Lyme disease from a tick but cleared with heavy antibiotics, age 27 diagnosed with Lichen Sclerosus, age 33-34 forty-week Triple Therapy treatment for Hep C (Interferon, Ribavirin & Telaprivir), age 34 cleared Hep C, Thyroid tests all come back showing normal functioning. Sue (Bavaria, Germany)   Anita: Hi there, I'm wondering if there are any podcasts on the topic of neuropathy. My dad has neuropathy and I'd like to know if there is anything he might be able to do to help his health. I did a search on the website and nothing came up so I thought I'd check with you anyway. Thank you! Anita   Martin: Hello from the UK Dr. Cabral, I really enjoy your podcasts and find your approach to health and wellness very refreshing. Please can I ask your views on my 10 year old daughter. As a baby sometimes she would vomit immediately after drinking her formula milk (not just a little, almost the whole bottle would come back up). She was also quite windy. Randomly at the age of 3 or 4 she started to suffer from really bad constipation at one time she went almost 2 weeks without a bowel movement. The Doctors and Nurses who dealt with this treated us like we fed her a diet with no fibre which was not true. The Doctors didn’t seem interested in finding out why this happened and she was placed on a Medicine called Movicol infant which seemed to help (Here’s a Link to the product details which terrify me as I read them now – She was on a child version of this daily for approx. 12 months). However we found the single biggest factor in curing this was removing drinks with artificial sweeteners. From the ages of 2-5 she’d get ill with a cold in early October and be constantly ill until the following February. Today and over the past year or so her stomach looks bloated and feels hard. Sometimes after eating she’ll burp or gurgle a little which she finds embarrassing. Her bowel movements seem to be very slow too (not always daily). To give as much information as possible, her diet includes most everyday foods including gluten and dairy but also a good mix of vegetables and fruit. We had a food sensitivity test carried out last year (on a strand of her hair), it came back negative on Gluten and Dairy but suggested she had sensitivity to Carrots, plums and a couple of other vegetables. I know this is quite a lot to consider, but I feel there is an accumulation of signs which point to an underlying food/ digestion problem. If you have time, I’d really appreciate your advice on where to start with testing and healing. Also, if applicable how to approach an elimination diet on a child as I don’t want to give her a complex about certain foods. You might wonder why it’s taken so long to get to this. Well truth be told, I’m only just starting to join up what I see and wondering if there might be a link, rather than an unconnected sequence of conditions. This is coupled with the fact that Doctors don’t seem interested in finding out the cause of health conditions, they either can’t find anything wrong or give drugs to treat the symptoms rather than dealing with the cause. Many thanks for your time, Martin Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions!   - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/897 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

895: Could You Pass This FBI Fitness Survival Test? (TT)

In the not too distant past I used to coach some very high level Olympian, World Champion, and professional athletes... It was a lot of fun, but the stakes were much higher - A fraction of a second or minor deviation in technique was often the difference between winning and losing... However, during this time I also began working with special operations military and FBI agent candidates that were looking to pass a unique fitness test that they'd be judged on... It was the perfect blend of endurance and interval work that would prepare anyone for a survival based situation, which of course is why you had to be able to pass it to get into this elite club... Believe it or not, even though the years have passed, I've never forgotten about this specific "test" and I've even begun to incorporate it once again into my own exercise routine... So, on today's #CabralConcept 895 I want to share my high-level training philosophy which you that you can take anywhere in your life... Plus, I want to demonstrate the exact FBI Fitness Survival Test with you to see if you could pass it (let me know if you could or not!) - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/895 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements:   > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests:   > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

894: Are You Just Tired or Do You Have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)?

"Adrenal Fatigue" or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS/CFIDS/POTS) go well beyond simply feeling just tired... They are deep rooted nervous system, hormone, mitochondrial, and immune imbalances that have even deeper underlying root causes affecting those systems of the body... This is why it's important to understand what level of fatigue your body is in and how quickly you can turn it around... The good news is that there is one simple question to ask yourself to understand your level of adrenal fatigue and then a protocol based on that to move you towards perfect health (and abundant energy)!

893: The Invisible Dangers of EMFs (TWT)

One of the hardest things about preventative natural health is to worry about something that you can't see... And that's exactly the problem with trying to combat electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs)... This "electrosmog" is everywhere we go and the emissions from cell phones, modems, smart meters, baby monitors, white noise machines, and thousands of other devices are affecting our cells at a DNA level... This can lead to symptoms of fatigue, fibromyalgia, headaches, brain fog, inflammation, pain, hormone disruption, and even cancer...

891: Triathlete Supplements, Adopting a Healthier Lifestyle, ED Issues, Fungus in Lungs, Sesamoid Bones, Ileostomy, (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Kathryn:  Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast and I'm working through listening to ALL episodes. Everything you say I can find studies to back up and I trust your opinion more than any other doctor. To get to my question, I am a 33 year old female and do Ironman triathlons. I eat an extremely healthy plant based vegan diet. Even while training I stick to natural sources for fuel. I eat raw dried fruit bars and bananas for calories in replace of sport gels, for hydration I mix sea salt in water with lemon juice and honey as well as drink raw coconut water. My question is, what supplements do you recommend I should be taking daily to support my training? Right now I supplement with B-Complex liquid, vitamin D, a Probiotic, and Magnesium. I tried taking Iron for about 8 weeks but I had bad reactions to it so I stopped. I've thought about taking a Vitamin C and a daily multi vitamin and I've thought about trying your nutritional support shake, but I'm afraid I'll have a reaction to some of the ingredients as I have a very sensitive stomach. I usually can't digest processed foods. Right now in lieu of a vitamin C supplement I add Camu Camu powder to my morning smoothie, but that is only about 4 days a week. I know the recommendations for the average person, but with the training I put my body through with15 hours a week of swimming, biking, running, strength, and yoga, I probably need more nutrients, I just don't know what and how much. I appreciate all that you do and I look forward to listening to your answer. I've heard you say you work with a lot of athletes so I believe you will have a better answer for me than the average naturopath doctor. Thank you! Em:  Hi Dr. Cabral - my mom was recently diagnosed with diabetes. How do I get her to adopt a healthier lifestyle? She eats unhealthy and usually snacks right before going to sleep. Thanks!   Chu: Hi Dr Cabral, I am 37 years old and I've been having random twitches all over my body and dealing with ED issues for over a couple of years now. My doc wanted to put me on anxiety medication which I refused due to the side effect. I have a vata body type and yes I have been going through some stressful situation but nothing excessive. I was just wondering if this might be due a vitamin/mineral deficiency or something else? I recently started supplementing with zinc and B-complex. Also, I just started your 7-day detox a couple of days ago and was looking at purchasing the omega 3 but a friend informed me that Krill oil is better. They do both provide the same benefits correct? Thank you for your time.   Christian: Hello Dr. Cabral and team, I have many questions, but will keep this message succinct. From listening to your podcast, I am almost certain that I have some kind of fungal or yeast overgrowth happening in my body. I recently had a CT scan that showed “tree-in-bud” nodules on my lungs, which is typically seen as marker of some type of fungal infection, furthering my suspicion of an overgrowth (possibly Candida?). I am going to see a pulmonologist specialist at UCSF in two days, and I am afraid they may want to take an open lung biopsy to confirm any suspicions of infections they may have, however I am almost 100% certain that a fungal overgrowth is occurring (I have other “symptoms” like random skin rashes, white coating on tongue, memory fatigue, sporadically intense sugar cravings, etc etc..). Would an organic acids test be able to show if I have a fungal overgrowth? Or is there any other test, besides biopsy, that could help my doctors at UCSF confirm their suspicions of fungal infection? Personally, I have known people to do your Candida cleanse protocol, and their “symptoms” cleared up fantastically. I would be willing to get on that same protocol, but am unsure if my western medicine doctors will understand my concerns of not wanting to have a biopsy done and will be trusting enough of my own suspicions. Can you tell me the method/s that you would recommend to test for Candida/fungal overgrowth? Also, can you recommend what i should say to my doctors at UCSF to better express my concerns that this “infection” is more likely an overgrowth that could be minimized or suppressed through detox and diet change? Thanks in advance, Christian   Logan: Hello Dr. Cabral, love your podcast and how helpful you are to your listeners. I am a triathlete and I have been struggling with a necrotic (dead) sesamoid bone now for about 6 months. I haven't really been able to run since around that time. I had an MRI done and the Dr recommended working with a Physical Therapist who specializes in custom orthotics to help alleviate the pain around the sesamoid. I am currently still working with the PT, but we have tried 4 different kinds of orthotics, none of which relieving the pain even while walking. Do you have any recommendations on how to heal the area? I do not believe that the bone will come back to life, but am not certain if there are other things I could be doing for it. I have read horror story's online about how unsuccessful the surgery can be. All I want is to be able to run again and compete in triathlons, but at the bare minimum have a pain free walk. Thank you  Meagan: It would be great to be advised by you re my wellness. My name’s Meagan I’m 31 years old and I live in Brisbane, Australia. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease 11 years ago and in 2011 I had an ileostomy constructed and in 2013 I had my large bowel/rectum/anus removed and my ileostomy has become permanent (To this day I have ongoing pelvic issues such as Pain and bottom wound discharge from post op complications and infection from 2013) I also have localised psoriasis (over my knuckles, navel), endometriosis, bilateral hydrosalpinx of my fallopian tubes, and bouts of anxiety. I’m a symptomatic carrier of duchenne muscular dystrophy and suffer from bouts of myositis and have chronically elevated CPK levels. My specialist advised me this year that I could cease my crohns medications due to good control of the disease. I’ve also weaned off my antidepressant completely a few weeks ago. The only medications I’m on are the contraceptive pill for endometriosis, krill oil, 3 monthly b12 injections and I use doterra essential oils for support. I use low tox/natural products to clean, I make my own liquid hand soaps, body scrubs, mouthwash, use organic toothpaste, natural deodorant paste and toxin free shampoo, I use a menstrual cup. I rarely wear makeup. I avoid buying processed food/I try to avoid preservatives etc, So I’m quite committed to looking after myself and lowering my toxic load. Concerns: 1) I’m constantly tired every day and lack energy (I don’t even remember the last time I wasn’t tired) and 2) despite all these positive things regarding my health, I still have low grade inflammation in my body (as per stool calprotectin level and crp blood result). Note: I haven’t had a crohns flare since my last surgery, My psoriasis hasn’t flared for a long time and I use essential oils to manage it, but I guess I’m wondering if it’s my endometriosis? My aim is to eventually stop taking the pill but I’m not sure if stopping it will worsen my endo. I’m certain my other contributing factors are anxiety/unbalanced mental health right now, stress, going to bed way too late at night, and higher concentration of pollution where I live. I guess why I’m emailing is because I want to know if you have any recommendations for: - controlling inflammation - what tests I should get done to provide a full body assessment of what areas need to be rebalanced (I hear you mentioning organic acids testing for candida screening, leaky gut screening, and investigation of food sensitivities on alot of your podcasts) - would a detox be recommended? - endometriosis control and management off the pill - recommendations on a functional medicine doctor/any other professionals Thank you so much for your time, Regards Meagan   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/891 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements:   > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests:   > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

890: Miserable Condition, Lead In Protein, Future Tours, Bulging Veins, High-Risk HPV, Balancing Female Hormones, Blending Foods, Bulky Calves (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Cameron: Hi Dr Cabral, my name is Cameron, I'm a 42 year old male from Melbourne, Australia. I discovered your podcast a few months ago, after searching for answers to my medical issues, and since then I've been hooked. You've opened my eyes to the fascinating world of functional medicine, so thank you! My reason for writing is for advice on my Menieres disease that I was diagnosed with about three years ago, after a couple of severe vertigo episodes, along with tinnitus and hearing loss in my right ear. I have seen several ENT specialists, and had an MRI which came up clear, and done various tests to help confirm the diagnosis. As a result, I've been put on a low sodium diet, been prescribed Serc (betahistine) and a diuretic pill, and been told to also reduce caffeine, alcohol, and stress. I've also tried Ginko Biloba, and several different vitamins. The only medication that has noticeably helped is 2mg Valium pills, taken only when symptoms flare. After more sporadic episodes in the last year, usually lasting for a burst of a few weeks at a time, I had a steroid injection into my inner ear, which appears to have stopped the vestibular problems at least for now, however, the hearing problems and tinnitus remain. Hoping to find more help, and after hearing your podcasts, I started seeing a naturopath, who also used to be a pharmacist. She suggested an IGG food sensitivity test, which came back showing a strong sensitivity to egg and dairy. Up until then I loved eggs, and consumed whey protein powder on a regular basis around weight training. I'm currently on a moderate detox, and going to the gym more often to try to help with blood flow. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Menieres disease, and any suggestions as to what else you think could help me. It is a miserable condition, which I would do anything to get rid of. Once again, thanks so much for all you do, you're an inspiration, and I'm very glad I discovered your podcast. Regards, Cameron   Judy: Consumer Reports did another testing for lead found in popular protein powders. It was particularly high in vegan proteins which are ones I would be more inclined to use, so I am very concerned. I am currently using the Cabral Daily Nutritional Support Powder which happens to be vegan as well. Is your product tested for heavy metals, and if so, what were the results of the test? I appreciate what you do to help support our health and I was hoping that as you continue to make enhancements to your other product lines, I would love to see more vegan friendly protocols.   Stacey: Hi Doc, I would love to know what your West coast book tour stops are. Would you be able to give me the locations in Los Angeles/Santa Monica if these are on your stops?   Alex: Hello, I’m a loyal customer (completed DCD, using daily Cabral supplements, completed sleep hormone testing and sleep protocol) and enjoy listening podcasts. My question is about varicose veins (not spider veins but deeper veins). I have very big, bulging veins on one leg and less severe case on the other. They first appeared over 30 years ago after my 1st pregnancy. 8 years ago I had a laser closure procedure that was not successful as it never repaired my veins and they continue to be very enlarged. Here are my 2 questions:- what would you recommend for treating or preventing further development of varicose vein? - i’m doing spin classes 2 - 3 times a week. Can that contribute to the enlarged veins? Should I avoid this type of exercise? And what is recommended? Thank you!   Jenny: Hi Dr Cabral, I've recently had my annual pap smear and have been diagnosed with high-risk HPV, without abnormal cells. Could you let me know what's the best way to get rid of the virus as fast as possible? Which of your supplements would you recommend? I'd like to add that I eat a very healthy, mostly plant-based, diet and supplement with Vitamin C, Zinc, Selenium, Magnesium, B-12 and Vitamine D. I also drink green juices daily, and use superfoods like chlorella, spirulina, maca, Ashwagandha, etc. But I would love to hear your suggestions on what more I could do, as I value your opinion more than my doctor’s. Very muck looking forward to your feedback!   Susanna: Dear Dr. Cabral, I listen to your podcast every single day, and it has changed my life! I did your Candida protocol, and finally found relief after years of gut issues. Thank you for that! Now I have a question about a different health issue: I’m 41 and have been dealing with PCOS for 10 years now. I’ve managed to keep it under control with healthy diet and supplementation, but after 3 years of having it back, my period went missing again.. :( Which supplements/protocols do you recommend for balancing the female hormones, and hopefully getting my period back? Thank you for everything, you’re my hero! :)  Alana: Hi there... I see you offer detox’s etc, however some people reviews stated they works with you on a program. Do you offer online services, like a meal plans and workout plan together? I live in Canada and was wondering if I could work with you In order to lose about 15 pounds. I’m a 41 year old female and would love your help!   Yasmine: Hello Dr. Cabral, I love eating smoothie bowls for breakfast. I usually add plant milk, vegan protein, avocado, the greens, nuts, seeds and superfoods to it, and it's an easy way to get all my nutrients in. I know you're a big fan of smoothies for breakfast, so you are the perfect person to ask: is blending the foods as healthy as eating them whole? Does it make nutrients more or less absorbable or effective. Is blended fibre (in flax seeds for example) still as good for regularity as the whole ones? Thank you very much for your answer!   Clemens: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for everything! You've been a tremendous help. Now, my problem are my calves. They're kind of bulky anyway but by the end of the day more often than not they are just so swollen. They are heavy and it makes me tired. Also it looks really bad and my pants don't fit anymore. For the life of me I can't figure out what it is. I reduced my water, carb and dairy intake and that seems to help a little. Definitely looking forward for your food sensitivity test coming to Europe! Is there anything else I should consider?

888: Guest Interview with the BodyBuilding Yogi, Ben Pakulski (TT)

Ben Pakulski is a living legend when it comes to transforming your body to the highest level imaginable... However, he's also a bit of an enigma in the fact that he spends a lot of his time talking about how to create change on the inside before you ever think about shaping the outer physique you desire... Now of course, on this guest interview I did ask Ben about his exercise training techniques and he was nice enough to share and breakdown his "S.S.I" formula that gives his clients and unfair advantage in the gym...

887: The 4 Different "Cleanses" You Must-Do Yearly to Stay Healthy (WW)

If you were to go back just a couple hundred of years, you'd be surprised at the various rituals people did on a yearly basis in order to stay healthy...

And, I think most people would be shocked to find out that all of these ancient practices are now being proven by medical science and lab testing to be accurate and necessary...

886: Eat These 3 "Unhealthy" Foods Daily (TWT)

With an internet full of different diet plans telling us what's safe to eat and what's not it can be ridiculously difficult to figure out who or what is right... Besides that, we have a lot of plans that are meant to work in the short-term (and do work), but fail miserably in terms of long-term health and body transformation... One of the reasons for this is that diet programs that eliminate certain "healthy" foods by putting them on their "NO list," causes you to miss out on their extremely valuable nutrients that you need to prevent dis-ease and cancer... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 886 I want to share with you 3 so-called "unhealthy" foods that you should be eating on a regular basis to get well, transform you body, and live longer - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/886 - - - Read Dr. Cabral's New Book: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com

885: Raise Your Energy & Vibration By Doing This (MM)

In my opinion the Rain Barrel Effect can and should used in every area of your life... Whether it be mental or physical wellness, weight loss, or anti-aging issues it's important to be aware of what's building up and causing stress in your life...

884: Toxic Work Environment, Gallbladder Missing, Protein in Kidneys, Choking, Elderly Falls, Cardiac Inflammation, Rash on Face, Enzyme Timing, "Lady Regions" (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Carla: I have PCOS, and possibly endometriosis & some type of thyroid dysfunction (these two haven't officially been diagnosed, but I have symptoms that have lead me to think I may have them). As I learn more about my condition and how to heal myself through lifestyle & supplements, I also try to get rid of toxins, do detoxes, eat well & exercise. However, I've worked with fire resistant garments for almost 15 years of my life and recently I learned that fire retardants are endocrine disruptors. I'm not able to immediately leave that field of work. Is there a way I can protect myself? I recently started wearing gloves (but they are plastic which is possibly not ideal either) and a cotton mask to keep from breathing in the fibers. What would you recommend? I'm not sure exactly HOW bad it is to continue working like this or if it's something I definitely need to get away from as soon as possible. Thank you for any guidance! Kate: Hi Dr Cabral, I had my gallbladder removed 10 years ago but didn't drastically alter my diet until about 3 years. I eat a mainly paleo lifestyle (with occasional legumes), and I've discovered through recent bloodwork that I have deficiencies in a number of areas. Specifically with Vitamin D and also with my thyroid (I am well outside the "optimal" range but technically still "normal"). I take 3000 IU Vitamin D each day but after researching saw that having no gall bladder can lead to the inability to absorb fat-soluble vitamins as well as possibly affect thyroid and even cholesterol. Is there a way to overcome this? If I were to start taking your daily digestive enzymes, could that help my vitamin absorption? Thank you! Julie: Dear Dr. Stephen Cabral, A friend of mine suggested your podcast last week and I have binged listened ever since. I have dealt with different issues such as Candida and fatigue. I overcame Candida with an elimination diet. Or maybe so I have thought… I have had my thyroid tested and it is normal. All my markers are normal except they found that I have Kidney disease. They were not able to find the root cause of it… My glomerular filtration rate is currently at 46 mL/min. The nephrologist stated that since I am an athletic build that is why. I am currently dealing with mood and fatigue. So if you can point me in the right direction of testing and why, that would be very helpful. Thank you! Julie Johnson  Jill: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a friend who has achalasia. She has had the balloon dilation procedure done 2-3 times. It often works for a time and then she has difficulty getting food down her esophagus. I'd love to hear your thoughts on diet info related to achalasia, the possibility of overcoming it, and any steps she could take to find health/healing. My understanding is that it's an autoimmune disease ... and can't be "cured" ... ? But I know you overcame Addison's. Any help/direction would be so amazing! Thank you so much for these house calls!!! Claude: Hi! Don't know if you've already talked about this on your podcast: "Elderley's falls" (sarcopenia)?Is there anything i can do for my 93 years old dad?Thank you from Quebec.Canada Elizabeth: Dear Dr. Cabral - I found your podcast about 6-8 months ago after you appeared on EOFire. My daughter was "cured" from her gut, thyroid, chronic EBV through holistic/funcational/naturopathy and it literally gave her a life again! (She lives in Florida and we live in the middle of the country. )So thankful! But today, I'm writing about my husband. Genetically he is challenged. By that I mean that everyone in his family is/was obese. His 2 brothers died in their 50's, (one from a PE and one from untreated diabetes) His two living sisters are in their late-50's and early 60's. One is riddled with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and both are overweight. His father died of Lymphoma at 72 and his mother from congestive heart failure at 82. At 40 my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer, but considered cured from that. At 46, he developed progressive hip pain and the joint was so eroded that he had to undergo a hp replacement at 47. All the nsaids and steroids that he took for that and for years prior to that for a football (knee) injury lead to acute renal failure before the replacement was done. His knee was replaced about a year ago. He has a stressful job and works about 7 days a week. He was also diagnosed with osteopenia at 46 and used Forteo for about 6 months, but I just wasn't comfortable with him continuing that. Since then he has been on Prolea. Uses supplements from the Shalkee Corporation. Daily vitamin, D3, Calcium, Iron and CoQ10. About 2-3 years ago he began gaining weight and becoming more and more fatigued. But our diet had not changed and in fact has gotten cleaner and healthier due to my desire to feel my family whole foods For 25 years he maintained a weight of 165 +/- 3 pounds. He's gained about 35 pounds; mostly around his umbilical area, but also in his groin area. He is tired ALL the time, cold, his eyes are puffy every morning, decreased libido, frequent nose bleeds, (but only after blowing his nose) decreased muscle mass and seems to catch every cold virus that comes around. He's always had periodic bouts of HSV II which seem to be worse with increased stress. He had extensive lab testing done last fall through Veridia Diagnostics. I would be happy to send these to you. Cardiac inflammation is a little high with hs-CRP 2.1 and Homocysteine (10). Food Allergies (IgE) were all negative, but IgA was not done. Lipid; Total Cholesterol 217 Triglycerides 100, HDL 70, LDL 141, Apo B 104. Fasting glucose 97, Insulin 7, A1C 5.3, Cortisol 11.2, Adiponectin 25.6, Leptin 13.9 Ferritin 156, Vitamin D 66, Magnesium 2.2, Creatine 1.3 Cystatin C 1.07 TSH 2.0, T4 5.3, Free T4 1.0, T3 1.23, Free T3 3.0, Thyrodglobuin antibody 10.6, Thyroid peroxidase antibody 12.93, Testosterone 640.6, FTI 31.7, SHBG 70.2, Estadiol 29.6 I think we have a thyroid problem, even though his labs are "normal". What should we do next? Sorry this got so long, but I really value your opinion. He would like to feel more like himself again and lose the weight. I would like to have a more energetic husband. Thank you in advance, Dr. Cabral! Lizzie: Hello! My husband has had a persistent rash on his face that seemed to come out of no where. In January it started. It looks like small tiny pimples and red dots. Forhead, nose, cheeks. Subsides slightly and always comes back. His face is not itchy and it is most prominent when out of shower. Then in Feb his stomach started becoming itcy, more patches of dry skin, not rash-like on his face. He also has had toe-fungus for years, from sports in college. What could be causing this rash and how can he work to get rid of it? He eats very little protein, when he does, crappy chicken. Lots of veggies and he does have a massive sweet tooth. He is 37 yo. he is also going through a job transition. thank you! Terri: I just purchased your digestive enzyme. Do I take this 15 min before each meal or only the first meal of the morning? It then works all day with just taking in the morning? Thank you  Catherine: Hi Stephen, I regularly listen to your podcasts and would love it if you could help me out. Here’s a bit of information about myself, I’m 24, came off the pill just over 2 years ago and got quite bad acne all over my face (got worse and worse over time). Previous to coming off the pill, roughly about 1-2 years before, I became intolerant to dairy. In the past year I have been getting reoccurring yeast infections ("lady regions"). I have just completed a 3 month parasite cleanse, saw lots come out in my poop and I feel much better for doing it. However I am still getting yeast infections, I have figured out I have candida / gut issues. Would you recommend any other tests apart from the acids test? I’m not sure if my hormones could still be imbalanced? I have cut out a lot of foods that I used to eat such as bread, refined sugar etc but it’s not enough to kill whatever yeast/bacteria is inside me. Thank you Annie:  Hello, I have been suffering with halitosis for around 15 years. I have been to every specialist that there is.

883: My Health Coaches, Gut-Based Acne, Prostatitis, Lack of Water, Face Paralysis, Blood Panel Test, Eliminating Foods, Abdominal Pain (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Ali: I’m applying for the private concierge membership because I want one-on-one consultation with Dr. Cabral for a complicated situation that I’m in... I noticed that Julia and Caitlin are almost half the cost of seeing Dr. Cabral… is that cost difference a reflection of their ability to diagnose as well as Dr. Cabral, or is it more so a reflection of popularity because he’s of course the man behind the magic of all of this? Thanks! Ali   Libby: I’ve been listening to your podcasts for a little while, I can’t find you addressing this question, and thought it would be beneficial for many people. My daughter is almost 13 and is struggling with acne and has had some learning disabilities. I was listening to you suggest that they both are gut related. She was on antibiotics a lot as a baby/toddler. She had reoccurring ear infections and strep. She then had tubes, adenoids out, and tonsils out. What would you suggest for an almost teenager in getting her gut healthy?   Annie: I'm dating someone who has prostatitis. He's 30 and has seen a couple of MD's who all tell him not to worry about it. He used to drink quite a bit and has recently stopped which his doctors said is a good thing. He has pain in his low back and fell on his coccyx when he was little. We are working to strengthen his feet and spine, but the pain wakes him up at night when he changes positions and when he lays on a flat surface. He saw an acupuncturist that said sex is good for him and there isn't pain with orgasm. Is there anything else that you can recommend that he do to help remedy this? Thank you for your insight and all you do.   Terry: Am I getting enough water when I only consume between 30 - 40 ounces of water per day? If I try to force myself to drink more water, it only feels like I have a fish bowl in my belly. I ONLY drink natural spring water or filtered zero water with concentrace mineral drops. No soda, no alcohol. I have organic green tea once or twice per week. I feel great and have zero dehydration symptoms I know of. I will drink more water if I go hiking, but, it's still not remotely close to 1oz per body weight. Once again, I feel great, but, if I try to drink more water, I don't feel as good. I've always been this way. Urine was clear until I started taking the active B complex vitamins, now it is Yellow due to the B vitamins. I am vata body type all the way. Male, 47, 6 ft tall, 125 and cannot gain weight regardless of how much I work out or eat. I recently saw a local naturopath doctor. No sibo, candida, nor parasites. Lots of food intolerance due to leaky gut, but already healing from that with help from her and from you. I am a huge fan of your show. Thank you for all you do!   Peg: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for all of the incredible information you share on your podcasts each day; I’ve learned so much from you over the last year and still find episodes I haven’t heard yet. I’ve also recommended your podcast to countless friends for all types of advise. I’ve searched your archives to see if you’ve answered any questions about Bell’s Palsy and I haven’t been able to find anything on this topic. 3 Months ago after a long plane flight I woke up to 1/2 of my face totally paralyzed. I was in a foreign country and not near a hospital so I searched online for answers as to what may have happened and determined it was likely Bell’s palsy. I contacted my pcp who prescribed a course of antivirals plus prednisone. Even though I did not want to take either, I could not find any other suggestions online so I tried them both without improvement. Once I returned to the states I saw my doctor who confirmed I have Bell’s Palsy, but only based on a clinical diagnosis, no MRI. Can you please tell me what causes Bell’s and what I can do to help to improve the symptoms? I’ve regained partial function in areas of my face but I far from back to normal. My doctor said it can take up to 6 months to go away and has no suggestions for treatment in the meantime. I am anxious to do something to regain my normal face back! So far I’ve done a few things on my own: Acupunture. Oral B12. Alpha Lipoic Acid. Please let me know if you can help, or if you have treatment suggestions. Thank you so much, Peg   Lily: Hi! I am writing to you with a question regarding the blood panel test Dr. Cabral recommended on his podcast, Female Panel by Life Extension. I have been experiencing amenorrhea for about a year as well as persistent digestive issues (constipation, bloating), anxiety and now brain fog. My gynecologist sent me for some very basic bloodwork a few months back (FSH, LH, TSH, DHEA-S) but besides a DHEA-S level of 498 she said I seemed to be "in range". I have been recommended to take Spironolactone/birth control but I am focusing on addressing the underlying stressor/s that are contributing to these symptoms. In order to get the best results with the blood panel, Life Extension recommends pre-menopausal females to get blood drawn on day 21 of their cycle. Being that I have amenorrhea, do you have any further recommendations for when I get the bloodwork done? Thank you for any help you can provide, sorry this was so much at once! I really appreciate all you do. Sincerely, Lily   Tallulah: Hello! I love the information you provide and have been seeing some great benefits from your CBD Oil. I am basically a mess, physically, right now and my quality of life is definitely not great. After being healthy my entire life (aside from stomach issues), I have been diagnosed with the following: Bradycardia, Metabolic alkalosis, hypoglycemia, raynaud's disease, leukopenia, amenorrhea (haven't menstruated in 4 years). I spent time in a treatment center for an eating disorder but I was really just eliminating foods over time that were hurting my stomach (and I enjoy working out—wasn't trying to lose weight). I should mention that I haven't had any kind of illness such as a cold or flu for over 10 years so at least my immune system seems to be working! At this point, I can barely eat or drink anything without bloating and pain. I have eaten clean for many years—pescatarian—organic, lots of vegetables, pasteurized eggs and no dairy or gluten. I also grill or bake all of my vegetables to help with digestion—even lettuce—never raw. I make my own soups and meals so as to avoid added salt or hidden gluten. I also don't take any medications other than Vitamin D, Biotin, Iron, zinc and magnesium supplements (clean versions) and unfortunately, miralax because I don't seem to be able to have a bm without it, which makes everything worse. At this point, I don't know what to do but suspect your Candida & Bacterial Protocol could help. Does it require fasting in any way? I am concerned about eliminating even more foods and losing more weight and getting lightheaded. Also, I would desperately love to do all of your tests to finally get some answers but know that I can't afford them right now. Do you have any recommendations for my situation aside from the tests? Hopefully, someday I can take them. I am no longer going to traditional doctors as it has cost a lot of money, hasn't helped and goes against most of what I believe in for how to heal the body. I appreciate any advice you can provide. Thank you so much for all of the help you are providing people. You are literally, saving lives. Thank you! Laura: Hi Stephen, I love your podcast and everything you're doing. I've had increasing lower abdominal pain over the last 12 months. It's becoming unbearable and really affecting my day to day life. I'm extremely healthy and lived a balanced lifestyle. I avoid dairy and gluten. 2 weeks ago I had the laparoscopy for the removal of endometriosis but None was found. I got my period this month for the first time in a year. I am not under weight or living I highly stressed life. A year ago I would have been very stressed though. My blood tests are great according to gymno and doctor and I monitor all the things that could potentially affect or cause these pains. There's no common foods that I am aware of. What questions me is the pain comes on around 5pm and stays for 3-4 hours. Generally I have lunch around 1 and don't snack at work or really eat until dinner. The pain seems to ease after I eat. The pain is shark, in the middle of my lower abdomen and causes severe bloating. Could I have a parasite or something causing this pain when my stomach is potentially empty? I'm exhausted and gutted that even after an operation I don't have any answers! If I was to take any of your tests what would you recommend? Any advice will help I don't even know where to begin now.

880: The 10 Unhealthy Health Foods I Won't Eat or Recommend (WW)

877: Bone Density Testing, Exercise Wheezing, Menstrual Acne, SIBO Regrowth, Wean Off Anti-Depressants, Low Back Thyroid Pain, Missing Period Test (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Alex: Hello Dr. Cabral, I’m a long time listener of your podcasts, have done DCD and sleep protocol. Thank you for educating the community, i’ve learned so much! I’m interested to find out when women should request a bone density test? Is it driven by the age (50s ?) or by having any specific symptoms? I’ve searched the podcasts but didn’t find any reference to this topic. Thank you! Donna: When I do Russian Twists, I hear an echoey sound as I inhale/exhale when I twist from side to side. It's what I would imagine someone with asthma might sound like. I also have muffled hearing in both ears, mild stuffiness, and a little pressure in my forehead. I do not experience this with rowing, sprints, weight lifting, jump rope, or anything else. Could this be a symptom to a food sensitivity? I eat friends uit, vegetables, lean meat, salmon, seeds/nuts (NO Peanuts), No dairy except Kerry Gold Butter. I eat eggs from free range chickens. Any thoughts on this? (You are welcome to resend this pacific question if needed) Nicole: Hi there! I'm not sure which test(s) I should be taking. I'm 32 year old woman, do resistance training 4-5x per week, am about 13% body fat and am considered healthy. I eat pretty high quality food 90% of the time but do have the occasional treat (gluten and sugar, some dairy). I suffer from chronic acne on my chin (prominent around my period but I typically have redness and inflammation all month long). I am SO over it. After listening to the podcast, I may have some form of hypothyroidism. I really want to optimize my health, continue to feel amazing as I age and get rid of this acne I've been battling for a few years (after I had my son 7 years ago). If you can suggest which test(s) I should consider, I'd appreciate it. Thank you! Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently did the Candida and Bacterial Overgrowth Protocol and I stuck to it very well the whole time. I was feeling amazing around the 60 day mark. Around day 80 I started getting really bad gas pains, burping a lot in between meals as well as right after, and it has been going on constantly for 3 month. My digestive issues were never this bad and I am feeling unsure about what to do next. I also took 2 rounds of the Healthy Belly and have been on the clean gut probiotic and that hasn’t seemed to change anything. I did some food sensitivity testing as well and nothing is seeming to show up. Do you have any recommendations on what I should do? I appreciate it! Lindsay: Hello Dr. Cabral. Thanks for all you do to bring overall health and wellness to the masses! 5 years ago I was diagnosed with post-partum depression and put on Lexapro (antiidepressant). My symptoms continued, even after seeking therapy and being put on the highest dose of Lexapro and eventually adding Wellbutrin, at its highest dosage. I struggled with massive downs which left me unable to leave bed for days and frequent suicidal thoughts, terrible irritable and an inability to cope with anything, and extreme dependence on outside stimuli to find happiness. Eventually it led to a referral to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me as bi-polar. Since being put on valproic acid (depakote) my symptoms have been much more manageable. I have been able to lower my dosage of both of my anti depressants, yet I still do take them. My question is - where do you stand on the use of pharmaceuticals in mental health? Would one be able to alter their chemical makeup through diet, supplements, lifestyle? I feel so great now that I am more balanced, but would ultimately love to not rely on pharmaceuticals. I should add that I take Vitamin D, Bs, multi, Fish Oil, Calcium-Magnesium-Zinc. I recently purchased a light box to sit under in the mornings for about 30 minutes, even though I live in a decently sunny area. Alisha: How does Lower back pain relate to low thyroid function? Mason: Hello! I love your podcast and everything you talk about so much. My question for you is this. I college student, and I just turned 20. It's been just over a year now that I haven't gotten my period.Within this past year of losing my period, I went away to college which caused a lot of stress to me, and I started to develop more of a plant based diet. I am not fully plant based, as I do eat meat and eggs every once and a while but not very often. I have been to my primary doctor about this. He did some blood work, and all of my hormone levels are normal. I have a pelvic ultra sound scheduled in May. In the mean time what should I do? Do you recommend that I get any other tests done?

876: Healthy Travel, Greens & Proteins, Inflamed Gymnast, Antibiotics & Dental Surgery, Treating Blood-Based Symptoms, Eating Disorder (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Brodie: Hi Dr Cabral. I thoroughly enjoy listening to your podcasts and really appreciate the knowledge that you share. I am travelling to India for approximately one month this year. I am worried about falling sick whilst I am there from food or other sources. Can you suggest some key supplements and natural first aid products that would be useful for my trip? I am not based in America and unfortunately cannot afford to purchase your products and then pay for shipping fees on top of the cost (I have already inquired with your team about this). I have previously listened to one of your podcasts suggesting that low stomach acid can contribute to some bacteria illness'. I was wondering if a product related to this would be suitable for me to take? I look forward to hearing your suggestions and I would much prefer to use natural products than conventional ones, I am just unsure exactly what to bring. Thank you!   Erin: Is it okay to mix the greens powder and the daily nutritional support shake in the morning or should I drink them separately/ at different times? I wasn't sure if it matters or not. Thank you!  Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was so excited to find your show! I have been listening to several shows a day and can't seem to get enough. When you speak about functional medicine chronic illnesses both physical and mental seem to make sense and there is so much hope out there for those that suffer from them! I have a question about my younger sister, and was hoping you could provide some insight. My sister is a competitive gymnast and 15 years old. Over the last year she has intermittently complained of shortness of breath. After Christmas she got a cold, followed by influenza (which she tested positive for) and sinus infections and then hand foot and mouth (vs a reaction to the antibiotics she was on for her sinus infection). She was out from school and practice for over 2 weeks.After the illnesses this winter her difficulty breathing became much worse (notably on her floor routine). My mom had just taken her down to Rush in Chicago for testing for an exercise challenge test last week and the test confirmed exercised induced asthma. She also had her IgE preliminary test was negative awaiting on the specific results. She was prescribed an inhaler containing albuterol and steroids taken 2 puffs 20 min prior to practice. I feel like we are just applying a bandaid over a much bigger problem and was wondering if you could shed some insight onto how you may work up this case. Thank you so very much for all you do and for sharing your knowledge with so many others to help improve their quality of life! ~Lauren PS- no need to share this on the podcast as this is a complete tangent, but I am a small animal veterinarian and starting my journey in a more holistic approach in my practice because of how you and other functional medicine practitioners have inspired me! Animals have more chronic illness and cancer now than ever before.... and its time to start looking for those root causes in them too! Nancy: Dear Dr. Cabral, Firstly, I’d like to say thank you so much for all your excellent advice and nutritional supplements, both of which have helped me dramatically improve my overall health and energy levels in just a few short months. My question is regarding the prophylactic use of antibiotics post-surgery. I am scheduled for gum graft surgery in a few months, and I know the periodontist will prescribe some antiibiotics afterwards to prevent infection and to ensure the graft doesn’t fail. I was prescribed amoxicillin after my previous gum graft and had horrible side effects (a rash that lasted a month and lots of digestive issues), so I’d really like to avoid taking antibiotics again, especially now that I’ve done the Dr. Cabral Detox and am feeling so much better. I’m wondering if I start taking extra nutritional supplements such as high doses of vitamin C, D and zinc in advance of the surgery and afterwards, would it be sufficient to minimize the risk of infection? If so, what would be the recommended dosages, and would you suggest any other supplements as well? Overall I am quite healthy; I don’t take any medications and rarely get sick, so I think my immune system is pretty decent already. I follow a mainly plant-based diet, and am taking the DNS powder and fruit and vegetable blend daily, along with immune boosting mushrooms like chaga and lion’s mane. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated! Kind regards, Nancy   Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm a fairly new listener of your podcast and I've found it to be extremely educational and helpful in my journey to improve my health. I was diagnosed about 4 years ago with Triangular Alopecia shortly after taking an antibiotic (when I was 22 my skin drastically changed and I suffered severe breakouts--antibiotics and acne creams where the Dermatologists treatment recommendation). I've had my hormone and thyroid levels tested several times by my Dermatologist and my PCP, all of which came back normal except for my estrogen levels which were slightly low according to my PCP. I've taken Spironolactone, Doxycycline, and Birth Control. My acne is under control but I continue to lose hair around my scalp and on the sides near my ears. I had a biopsy done a couple years ago that showed signs of female pattern hair loss, which my Derm could not make sense of because of my young age and location of the hair loss. After several years of treatment with creams and pharmaceutical drugs failing I decided to see a local CD who also addresses hormone and other imbalances in the body. The tests I did with him showed normal levels for my thyroid but extremely low levels of Estradiol ( Mia: Hi Dr. Cabral! My name is Mia and I’m 27 years old. I’ve struggled with eating issues for 10 years 5 years bulimia and 5 years binge eating disorder. Any tips on how to manage that and control my mind? Also I became a carrier of tuberculosis when I was 13 years old and I had to take isoniazid for nine months. I feel like I’m always tired even though I get good sleep. Would you think that antibiotic contributes to my fatigue and also I have hormonal acne on my neck, jawline and chin. What tests would you recommend for m?!

874: How Saunas Boost Your Immune System & Fight Cancer (TT)

I'm more likely to promote a healing modality that's been around for over 1,000 years than I am to go head over heals about the latest "biohack..." I honestly believe that most of what we need to heal our body has already been laid out for us over thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine and other methodologies... However, I do enjoy seeing these ancient healing techniques being proven by science and backed up in the real world...

873: Should You Be Following the New Nordic Diet? (WW)

Over the years I would say I've been a close follower of every new diet that's hit the mainstream - I consider it my job to know what people are reading about... Most of them literally aren't worth mentioning since they do more harm than good... But every now and again there's some excellent research that lifts a legitimate diet plan up and it stands on its own merit...

872: New Research: Can You Cheat Death? (TWT)

Every once in awhile when I'm doing some in depth research I have an "aha" moment where things begin much clearer... And, when I was re-reviewing the top 12 causes of mortality I felt a sense of clarity that enabled me to see through the seemingly disconnectedness of each individual reason... What I came up with is that there are a small handful of things you should NEVER be doing that will enable you to most likely live at least a decade longer and stronger...  Tune into today's #CabralConcept 872 to discover this new research on how you just may be able to cheat death for at least extra 10 years - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/872 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com     Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

870: Abnormal Periods, Healthy Weight Gain, Linzess, Heavy Sweater, Natural Hair Care, Skin Issue Causes, GI Map Test (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Gwen: I've pretty much always had abnormal periods, but now it's almost been two years since my last period. I've gone to the gynecologist, with no real answers. The doctor ran several test, including checking my testosterone, Sex Hormone-binding Globulin, DHEA Sulfate, Luteinizing Hormone, and thyroid. All of these came back within normal range. The blood-work did show low prolactin (2.7 ng/ml) and low 17-OH progestrerone 14 ng/dl). I'm not underweight, nor do I have extremely strenuous exercise. Emotionally I do not feel stressed, so I'm not sure what else could be causing the amenorrhea. Some further background I've also been suffering from chronic constipation, and had the Mediator Release blood test. For the digestion issues, I've been following a low fodmap diet, while under the direction of a dietician. She had me taking Designs for Health GI Revive formula, magnesium, digestive enzymes and probiotics. The digestion does seem to be improving and now I'm trying the reintroduction phase. I also have low Complement C3 and C4, Speckled ANA Pattern, ANA titer 1:40, positive ANA screen by IFA, but my rheumatologist doesn't seem to say the results are conclusive of anything. I'm guessing the low fodmap diet should help seal any leaky gut I have, but Ive already been on the diet for several months. Since I'm a graduate student (who loves all the work I get to do!), I do not have tons of extra money to run every test, but I also want to get to the root cause of the amenorrhea. I love your podcast, and am very happy I discovered it! Kevin: Hi Dr. Cabral, My name is Kevin and I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how nutrition should look like for gaining muscle, but consuming foods that are good for my health. I competed in my first bodybuilding show last fall and I am now back on a gaining cycle. During my previous bulking cycle I was eating a lot of foods that helped me gain weight, but were not necessarily the best for my overall health. I want to keep competing and adding me more muscle, but not on the expense of my internal health. I am stuck between a rock and hard place trying to gain weight, but having a clean diet that cuts out sugar, wheat, and processed food 90% of the time. I only allow myself one cheat meal a week. With my body type leaning towards the ectomorph, combined with some mesomorph, I am having a hard time putting on mass. Any suggestions you may have would be truly appreciate. You are somebody I look up to and want to model for my personal life and career. Thank you very much sir. Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, Really appreciate your work and have become so much more knowledgeable after discovering your podcast. My question is regarding LINZESS, I have been battling GI issues (constipation, gas, bloating) for 6 years now. I have tried so many diets, detoxes and supplements including the Candida protocol over those years and nothing seemed to work until I was prescribed LINZESS. Since starting Linzess all my symptoms seemed to disappear. Do you have an idea why this drug has been so successful ? I would prefer to take a more natural approach to healing in the future. Thanks much! Alex: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have a question about overheating at night. For the past year or so I have been waking up very hot in the middle of the night (but not sweating, I do not typically sweat heavily when exercising either). I have updated my bedding (per your recommendations in previous podcasts), and have kept a bedroom temperature of 62-65 degrees through the winter. When I get into bed, I am usually chilly but wake up a few hours later almost every night throwing off the sheets and extremely warm. I'm relatively healthy... I took the Food Sensitivity test last year and have eliminated all high sensitivity foods and also completed the CBO protocol after taking the Organic Acids Test. Any ideas what could be causing the elevated temperatures at night? Thanks in advance! Brandon: Dr. Cabral, I’ve cleaned up all of my personal care products including deodorant, soap, and toothpaste. BUT, I can’t find a hair product similar to a hair fiber (my hair is really fine and looks like a frizzy mess if I don’t put anything on it) that is organic, free of unknown ingredients and fragrance. Any tips on finding something like this? Also I’m looking for a shampoo as well. Elizabeth: Hello Stephen and colleagues. I am 64 and have been struggling with bothersome skin issues on my face for decades. I have always had acne, not severe but unattractive. In my 40s I developed some mild dermatitis and now Rosecia. At times, like right now,  I experience all 3. I know my digestion isn’t great. Based on a tendency to inflammatory issues (mild IBS, post nasal drip, joint issues)I follow a paleo-ish diet and don’t eat wheat and gluten and avoid grains and dairy. My body seems very happy with that. But it hasn’t improved my skin as I had hoped.. Do you have any suggestions as to the cause of my skin issues and what I can do? Thanks for any help you can offer. Cheers, Elizabeth Cindy: Hello! Do you offer a G.I. Map lab test kit? If so, what is the cost? Is there a link you can send me please? Thank you!!

869: Sugar & Candida, Clean Home Products, Ears Ringing, Worms in Fish, Rotating Diarrhea/Constipation, Cryo, Cervicitis (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Rosie: I’ve been struggling with Candida for a while now and have recently begun a program in hopes of getting a handle on it. I was wondering what foods you suggest to eat to help aid in the process of getting rid of the overgrowth and what foods you suggest to stay away from. I am currently eating no foods with sugar or starches which has been very limiting. Is there another way?   Melody: Hi Dr. Cabral! I found you about a year ago and SO very much appreciate the information you offer on a daily basis. While I feel I am very early on in my journey to improved health and wellness, I want to take as many baby-steps as I can in cleaning up not only my diet, but my home environment as well. My question today is centered around general household products. I’ve already tackled filtered water (both drinking and in the shower), and want to move on to gradually removing other toxic items that I may be unknowingly using on a daily or weekly basis. Can you offer your “top 5 or top 10” areas to tackle regarding home cleaning products, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, candles and home fragrance plug-ins (which I just recently learned are both no-no’s), etc. Any guidance and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!   Zach: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am suffering from tinnitus that is unrelenting. I haven't noticed any hearing loss but over the past several months I've been battling this constant ear ringing and it seems like there is no hope. I am only 22 and I am afraid that I'm going to have to deal with this for the rest of my life. Any time I try to sit in a peaceful quiet space or try to meditate I end up being even more stressed out by this annoying ring in my ears. I have not yet seen a doctor for this but I intend to very soon. I hope that you can lend some advice because I am not sure what to do at this point. I want to make meditation part of my routine but being reminded of this condition makes it hard to relax. Thank you!   Vrajhi: Hello Dr Cabral. thank you so much for what you do. I recently read an article about wild fish containing parasites/worms. I do not care for purchasing farm raised fish, but this does make me a little apprehensive about buying wildcaught. I love sushi and would prefer to eat only on the coast, but once or twice a year may eat it in TX. What are your thoughts on this?  Kristine: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am dealing with a lot of gut issues after a severe bout of viral gastroenteritis while traveling in Spain in July of 2017 (let's just say it was 10 days of having to use the bathroom 50+ times a day). 9 months later, I still go back and forth between diarrhea and constipation, have constant painful bloating, and sharp pains in my lower abdomen after I eat. I have seen a gastroenterologist, who ordered several tests (celiac, TSH, sed rate, CBC, CRP, comprehensive metabolic panel, c.diff, and stool calprotectin as well as stool cryptosporidium & giardia). Everything has come back negative/normal. At this time, I cannot afford to see an alternative medicine practitioner as my insurance will not cover that. I have begun taking probiotics and digestive enzymes about 3 weeks ago which have been helping with the abdominal pain as well as being very beneficial for the anxiety I have developed due to this; however, I want to get down to the root of the problem so the constant diarrhea/constipation cycle and bloating will go away. Do you think I should go back to my gastroenterologist and order any more tests (perhaps organic acids or IgG food allergy testing) or what would you recommend at this point? I maintain a mostly plant based diet with very little to no refined sugar or processed foods, I do yoga and moderate intensity exercise regularly, but no lifestyle change has seemed to be able to fix my issue. Thank you so much in advance, Kristine Cynthia: My husband has recently tried cryogenics - his golf buddies are all doing it. And he says he does feel better after. I prefer to check these things out first, what is your opinion on cryogenics? Is it like taking Advil, a bandaid for inflammation? Emily: Hi Dr. Cabral - I’m a 26 years old female. My doctor recently told me I have cervicitis as I have been experiencing admoninal pain. How can I treat it without going on antibiotics?

866: How to Fix a Slow Metabolism (Root Causes) (WW)

My goal is to help people to understand that feeling sluggish, having brain fog, and not being able to lose weight are not "calorie in, calorie out" issues... Metabolic issues almost always stem from a hormonal or toxicity-based imbalance... This explains why some people can eat two to three thousand more calories than someone else their same size, but yet they don't gain weight...

865: The 4 Ways to Fix Your Sleep Cycle (TWT)

When trying to achieve your wellness, weight loss, or anti-aging goals there aren't too many lifestyle factors that should concern you more than getting good quality sleep... This doesn't just mean being able to fall asleep within a few minutes of your head hitting the pillow, but it also concerns your ability to get into a deep restorative sleep and stay there... The problem is that most people have never been told that dysfunctional sleeping usually signals that there's a hidden underlying root cause for this imbalance...

863: Bulimia, Potato Diet, PCOS Test, CD4 Immune Cells, Denmark Delivery, Kombucha, Feet Burning (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Michelle: Hello Dr Cabral, I’ve listened to almost every one of your podcasts and find them excellent. I am a bit of a complex case & am seeking your advice. I am based in Australia. I have been suffering from bulimia for the past decade (binge purge type) & also use laxatives (only at night to normalise bowel movements within the recommends dose). I currently do not binge purge, only binge eat at night & have an overwhelming urge every night around 2am to binge mindlessly. I am gaining a lot of weight. I try to eat healthy during the day, and maintain an active lifestyle. I also suffer from gastritis and bloating & constipation. I am currently seeking a psychologist to help with my disordered eating. I am 5’1 and around 103 lbs. my lowest weight hasn’t been 90 lbs. I always ate normally when I was younger - 3 meals & was never consumed with food & counting calories. When I was 21, I weighed in at 136lbs and decided to go on a calorie controlled diet - around 1200 a day & some exercise. After 1 year, I lost 36 lbs and was feeling great. Then, these urges to binge & purge took over - like an animal instinct. Since then, I have been in a binge purge cycle. Now I eat around 3000 calories a day, and 2000 of these are at night within 1 hour. Please help. My eating disorder psychologist cannot pint point any emotional triggers - she explained that it developed as a result of Dieting, and my body weight needs to reach a set point. Currently I feel good at 103 lbs, and I do not want to put on any More weight, but my binges at night (no purge) are killing me. Please help. what can i do to normalise my eating, to not eat at 2am & to maintain this weight. I am now 31.   Mr. Rivera: It would be great if he could do a podcast giving his opinions on the potato diet.   Debbie: Hello doctor Cabral! Being a longtime listener, I trust your opinion very much. I would love to get your advice on the best test to find the underlying cause of PCOS, and what are the best ways to treat it. My doctor just wants to put me on the pill, without any further tests, but I know that’s not gonna do anything about the condition, and only treat the symptoms. Thank you in advance, and thanks for all your amazing health advice!   Dan: Hi Stephen! Huge fan of your podcasts and your work. I'm a practitioner from Sydney Aus. In a recent viral related podcast you mentioned low CD4 helper cells, which one of my challenging patients have (low helper : suppressor ratio). Do you see this often? I'm finding nothing I'm doing is shifting it. I know however the patients zinc and copper levels are still low despite supplementation and am wondering if this could cause low CD4? Would love to get your opinion Cheers!  Christina: Hi there, I live in Denmark and i was just wundering, i am a heath coach, just started my up on my own and i want the best for the people i am gonna help, du you sell you produkt for other people to sell to their clients? i notice that you dont deliver to Denmark, but what if is was for wholesale? i really want good qualities and you are the ONLY ones that i trust so i really hope that you can help me. Kathryn: I love your podcast, I've been listening to ALL your episodes while I work and everything you say makes sense to me. My naturopathic doctor even says everything you say is spot on. I have a short hopefully simple question. There seems to be a health craze around drinking Kombucha for gut and overall health. I haven't found a lot of research supporting the health claims. What is you're opinion on Kombucha? Is it helpful or harmful to gut health? I love drinking it for the carbonation, I can't drink carbonated water because it hurts my stomach, but Kombucha seems to do just fine. Thank you for all that you do.  Audra: I have been diagnosed with dactylics by an MRI in my feet. This has lead to being diagnosed with seronegative arthritis. I do have a positive ANA and hashimotos. I wanted to know if you have any knowledge on dactylitis in the feet. Everything I research on this leads to Psoriatic arthritis which I clearly do not have. I have alot of aching in my legs and my feet burn and hurt all over. When I put on shoes my feet start burning. Neuropathy has already been ruled out via nerve test.

862: Returning Yeast, Gut vs. Blood Cleanse, Health Coach, Purple Hands & Feet, DNA Test, De-Bloat, Viral Inflammation (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Kara: I started your candida and bacteria protocol about 6 weeks ago. All was going well until I stopped using the sacchamices bulardi. I started the second probiotic for about a week and got off because I didn’t feel right.my symptoms returned. So my question is where should I go from here? Can I go back to the first probiotic since it was working? Also, what does that say about what’s going on with me if the first probiotic worked and then my symptoms seemed to return. Thanks Luke: Hi, I’m wanting to get your opinion on your 7, 14 & 21 day detox plans. Im a 26 year old male who lifts weights at least 4 times a week so I’m not looking to lose much weight but I am looking for a deep detox as I suffer from gut issues so what would you recommend is the best cleanse for that and would it be beneficial for gut health issues? Kyrsten: Hey I would like to get certified as a nutritionist or a healthy couch. Is there a program that you would recommend? Rachel: What can I do if I’m always cold? My hand and feet turn purple a lot. Thank you for your work and podcast. I listen often but haven’t made my way through all so not sure if you’ve addressed my questions. Thank you very much!     John: To whom it may concern, I am interested having a test taken for my apoE genotype and beginning a regimen for heart health. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon, -John   Lauren: I am emailing in regards for some much needed help and relief (sorry about the lengthy question). I am 22 years old and have been suffering with a few issues since I was young and no one can seem to help me. I have PCOS so I don’t get my period, my hormones are all out of whack, I am constantly bloated in my stomach, I am very heavy/ hold on to a lot of fluid in my arms ( to the point where I feel like a man), I have been diagnosed with IBS, SIBO and can go days without going to the bathroom (although surprisingly they have been good for a few weeks now). I eat very healthy, never eat take out, eat plenty of veggies, try to avoid gluten (never eat bread or pasta), eat wholegrain such as brown rice, quinoa, try to eat spouted nuts/ seeds when I can, make my own raw desserts/ treats so I barely eat packaged things, trying to avoid soy due to my hormones, recently cut down on red meat as I did not enjoy it and felt my body cant process sit but do eat fish. I am extremely active and have been most of my life and usually do at least 45min of exercise daily. I have seen various acupunctures, bowel specialists, gynaecologists, nutritionists, Chinese medicine doctors, reiki practitioners to name a few. I've taken herbal mixes, tablets, medicines, oils, ultrasounds (internal and external), colonoscopy, stool tests, laxatives (they don't do anything), upping my fibre, removing soy, dairy and gluten but nothing seems to work. I have a high tolerance for pain but lately I am just sick of feeling and looking bloated everyday. It doesn’t matter what I eat or what time of day I constantly feel like I have a baby and am super swollen. I feel that my body does not absorb anything and as a result I am always super tired due to my body trying to break down food/unbloat. As I do not get a period I feel my body holds on to a lot and it doesn’t matter how much exercise I do I cant seem to slim these arms or unbolt them. Sometimes I literally want to get a pin and use it as relief to de-bloat my stomach and remove the weight in my arms. I have gotten to the point where I almost want to give up but I was listening to a podcast and heard Doctor Stephen Cabral on it and thought I would give the last bit of hope in me to him and his team. I have no idea where to go from here. Sorry for the overload in information I thought it would be easier to give you a lot so you could see where I was at. Thank you for your time.   Leslie: Hello from London! I am a recently-qualified Nutritional Therapist and absolutely love your podcast. Your dedication and enthusiasm give me hope that our profession can truly help people heal. Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge, I learn something new every time I listen! I'm writing in regards to a 10 yr old boy suffering from what has been diagnosed as status migrainous - or side-locked headache. His symptoms are: - very bad headache on left side of head that comes and goes - extreme tenderness across the entire area of the trigeminal nerve - sometimes he can't even have his face touched - extreme fatigue - a very heavy feeling in his head - stuffed sinuses They have done various tests, including an MRI, and have ruled out many other conditions. They have tried him on many medications - including very strong anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, occipital nerve block, steroid injection, anticonvulsives, hyperhydrosis and oxygen therapy. Nothing has made any difference. He has been suffering now for almost 8 weeks. Doctors are beginning to offer psychological services as they say he may have to live with this pain indefinitely! The headache started after an extreme bout of stress due to high pressure training at a professional football club (soccer). He was pulled out of the program in November, and by the beginning of January came down with a very bad virus he just couldn't seem to shake. His mother still believes he is suffering from the virus as he still has extreme fatigue and runny / stuffy nose. My intuition is that his immune system was under enormous stress due to excessive athletic training, and that EBV or Herpes Zoster could have re-activated itself in the nerve. I asked them to run a check to see if he had EBV and it came back positive for a past infection but not active. It is my understanding that it will only show an active infection at the first exposure - and any re-activation of the virus would show up as IgG and not IgM. I would be so grateful for any input. His parents are beside themselves with worry and are in a lot of distress seeing him in so much pain. Up until 8 weeks ago he was a very healthy, happy active boy. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this very detailed question. As an aside, one reason you are my favourite podcast is that I am originally a Massachusetts native so listening to you in Boston is a real treat for me. As you may have guessed from my name, we have Portuguese heritage in common too. :-) Also, I'd be interested in working as a health coach for you here if you ever need UK support. Thanks again - keep up the great work!

90% of all dis-eases in the world stem from inflammation... The problem is that inflammation is not a disease to be treated - It's a symptom of something much deeper going wrong inside the body...

859: How & Why You Should Make the Move to 3 Meals a Day (WW)

Before I knew why eating more frequently wasn't good for me, I used to consume 6 meals per day... When I was trying to "bulk up" that would consist of 3 large meals and 3 snacks or "protein shakes..." Then, when I was looking to "cut up" and get leaner I would eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day... Although this did work for body transformation it certainly is not the best formula for overall peak health or longevity...

856: Estrogen Acne, Best Stool Test, Ayurvedic Smoothies, Allergy Protocol, Parasite Cleanse, Low Immunity, ACV & Shingles, Acne Scars (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Mia: I have been struggling with bad acne on my neck jawline and chin. I’m taking estroblock 2 times per day I’m pretty healthy. Also I am 27 years old and I am so tired 10 days before mensturation! So very tired, brain fog and acne before my period. Do you ever suggest progesterone cream before period?  Mark: Hi Dr Cabral. Why don't you use the GI-MAP GI Microbial Assay Plus Stool Test? I've heard that it is the best parasite checking stool test on the market because it use DNA analysis. Would love your thoughts. Nina: Hi Dr Cabral - LOVE LOVE LOVE your show, i was recently introduced through an Ayurvedic podcast I listen to where you were a speaker. What i love is how you mash up ayurvedic, TCM, and other functional medicine areas to address health. As it should be! I have found so much wisdom in Ayurveda to address a bout of insomnia 2 years back where dr's were pushing sleep meds and I fortunately found holistic health, and of course discovered nothing is 'just' insomnia, etc etc. Have come a long way and incorporated different healthy practices into a blended approach that fits my lifestyle. Am curious your take on something... Ayurveda (at least what I hear and read) seems to frown upon smoothies - lowers agni, hard on digestion etc. What's your take? I see you promote smoothies and now that I am feeling healthier I would like to try them out (will pay attention to digestion etc) but i see them as a great opp to get so much nutrient dense food in one meal! What’s your stance on gluten, even if it’s organic non gmo? Same with org non gmo grains? Non gluten org Oats? I'm a vata pitta so even though i strive for lower carb/sugar, i have some carb at least with lunch and often also with dinner. Finally any Cookware recommendations, i see so many people mention ceramic? Is this type of investment 'worth it'? Trying to balance prioritizing health against managing the budget of course! Many many thanks if you made it this far - i'm busy catching up on the hundreds of episodes of yours I haven't listened to, digging into your wonder fb community, and starting the reading challenge! Bless you! Nina Jessica: Hello wonderful Doctor Cabral. My mom is about to turn 60, and has been battling sinus infections since I can remember, every winter and spring in particular. A lot of the time she takes antibioitics to help, and they do. (though I keep telling her bad in the long run) She has seasonal allergies and teaches elementary students in a room that is not well ventilated. Lately she has been sick for weeks, out of school with an upper respiratory infection, with wheezing, a heavy chest, and cough when breathing. She is taking inhalers, Albuterol (I think a steroid) (so bad right?!) which also seem to temporarily help. Can you explain why these inhalers mask the issue. What can she do to help this naturally and stop having so many sinus and chest infections? She is ready to get control of her health and get to the bottom of this vs masking the issue w drugs. Thank you!!! Sydney: Hello!! I have a question regarding the parasite protocol. In the information description it says that following one parasite protocol wasn’t enough to rid the body fully. Was this referring to this cleanse as well? Should I order two of them or is this cleanse long enough to ensure it rids the body of parasites?? Thanks so much :) Aubrey: I have been sick for months it feels like. I have recently gone through a very stressful situation in my personal life and I am wondering if this could trigger bad health and a poor immune system? Since Christmas I have had influenza twice, 2 different stands. A couple week after that I was hit with strep along with an ear infections and then I was hit with a nasty stomach bug that put me out for a couple days. I am now dealing with what feels like a sinus infections. I typically eat a plant based diet, and I am very active. Although being sick has made that harder, but I have two little ones who are 4 years old and 2 years old who depend on me. So I don’t have much of a choice than to push through things! I can feel my body breaking down on me and I am searching for any support to boost my immune system, as well as to help aid in this stressful life situation I am currently experiencing. I am wondering if your Candida protacal would be a good first step to helping my body or if you have any other suggestions. I am open to about anything that is out thereright now! I love your podcast and what you are doing to help bless so many lives! Thank you for all you do! Anissa: I need to figure out what is going on with my body. I've had my second outbreak of shingles on my face since January. I just drank the mixture of ACV recommended and my stomach is upset. Is there a lesser strength I can take and still be results? Many thanks. Anissa Holly: Hi Doctor Cabral, I just found your site and podcast and couple weeks ago and can’t believe how awesome you are and all the interesting information you provide. I am 25 and struggle with acne and pitted rolling acne scars. I am struggling with the scars and how to get rid of them and was wondering if you can help. Much thanks.

855: Mentorship, Pet Health, H. Pylori Test, Leukemia, Diastastis, Thalassemia, Exercise Ball Seat (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Lindsay: Hello Dr. Cabral and Staff, I am a third year naturopathic medical student at Bastyr University in San Diego and I am writing to ask if Dr. Cabral would be my mentor. I'm certain he receives similar requests all the time, but let me tell you why mine is unique. I am married with 3 young children. My husband and I gave up a comfortable life in Colorado because we saw too much preventable suffering in the people around us and wanted to devote our lives to helping people get better. I, like Dr. Cabral, am motivated to reach masses of people, not because I am chasing wealth, but because I have a sense of urgency to reach a broad audience so that people who are suffering can find help before it's too late for them. For this reason, I want to hit the ground running when I graduate next spring. I would treasure the opportunity to observe the operational aspect of Dr. Cabral's clinic. If I can learn what's working for him, then I can spend less time reinventing the wheel and more time helping people. If it is possible for me to visit your clinic, even just for one day, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this message, and thank you even more for all you do each day to reach people in need. Sincerely, Lindsay Michelle: I just heard Dr. Cabral on Joyce's Plant Based Nutrition Summit. She mentioned that Dr. Cabral healed his Addison's Disease. My little spitz terrier dog, Spooky (about 16 pounds) has had Addison's for about 4 years. I was wondering what Dr. Cabral did to cure his Addison's and is it translatable for dogs. I give Spooky a monthly 6 ml shot of Percorten and a daily 1/3 tab of 5 mg Prednisone. Hate polluting him with these but he is doing well but still would prefer a more natural way if possible. Thank you   Kate: Dear Dr Cabral team, Quick question. Is the fruit and vegetable blend safe to take in pregnancy? I am already working with a functional doctor, who has recommended some supplements, but I would like this in addition. Best, Kate Staci: Dr. Cabral: Do you have a test that will check for H.pylori in the stomach? I have recently been diagnosed with a stomach ulcer and since I rarely take ibuprofen or Aleve and I don’t consume alcohol on a regular basis, I read where H.Pylori can be a factor. Also, can underlying stress cause an ulcer or enhance the symptoms of an ulcer? Thank you for your help, Staci Deborah: Thank you for all you do to help people have better health and a better life! My grandmom-in-love (69 years old) has atypical leukemia; its a myeloid disorder (MDS/MPN). Her doctors started her with the Chemo pill-Hydrea and she is currently under a Dacogen treatment. She’s struggled with Hashimotos for years because of her thyroid. She’s had low energy and thyroid problems for decades. She has cellulitis on her thigh, back, ankle, and stomach. She is sensitive and had adverse reactions to all medications she’s been under. How would we be able to rebuild her immune system and detox her body from all the chemo she’s been under? What info do you need so we can help my grandmom? I believe you can help with her horrid “dis-ease.” The doctors don’t know how long she has to live. The best they hope for is her body will go into remission and she will be for 2 more years. I hope to see her live for another 15 years. I look forward to hearing back! I had submitted this question to the support group and they gave me some good suggestions but also recommended submitting my question as a HouseCall. Thank you!  Josh: My sister is a 40 year old Mother of three. She can’t seem to shake some pesky stomach weight . After visiting multiple specialists, in committing to a personal trainer, the doctors have told her that she has diastisis recto and the only Way for her to get a flat stomach again. Is to get plastic surgery. Is this true?  Kelly: When I was a teenager my doctor said that I had a condition where my red blood cells were irregularly shaped and I would always need to take iron supplements. Is this considered thalassemia? I frequently have low iron levels on traditional blood tests but have never had had any other low results- like low oxygen bind capacity. I used to take iron pills regularly but then read that this can be dangerous and lead to iron overload and brain issues. Over the past few years since I stopped taking iron, I have had puzzling symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath (which becomes more acute when I think I can't breathe), panic-y feelings connected to what I believe are heart palpitations after eating or when lying down, and rarely a feeling of doom and disconnect from reality and rare fainting. Although these symptoms may sound overwhelming, I am absolutely functional but consider myself highly sensitive and aware to bodily changes. Do any of these symptoms correspond to untreated anemia? I have tried to balance out my calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium on my own through mineral supplementation. If I take iron pills and never have too high iron on blood tests, is it safe to say that I am at no risk of iron toxicity/overload? Thank you, Dr. Cabral! Lance: Hello Doctor Cabral. I understand that you have multiple years experience in musculoskeletal strengthening, alignment, and mobility exercises. A few of my coworkers have replaced their office chairs with exercise balls. We sit multiple hours a day documenting on our computers. They say only good things about the switch. I am skeptical and have been doing research on the idea. I see arguments from both sides as realistic and I am still torn. What are your thoughts on the potential benefits or complications that can be caused by doing this?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/855 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

851: A 100-Year Old Forgotten Form of Healing Revived (TWT)

World War I and II brought a halt to many great innovations of that time, but maybe none more so than in natural medicine... About 100 years ago numerous forms of "alternative medicine" were being studied, researched, and verified, as well as being proven with patients in the real world... The problem was that conventional medicine was just beginning its surge and stranglehold on the way that we are allowed to "diagnose and treat disease..." Therefore, many of these amazing forms of natural healing (although rooted in science) were forgotten or at least marginalized to the point that the general public never heard about them again...

849: Ayurvedic Dosha Assessment Errors, Afternoon Cravings, Costochondritis, Smoking Cessation, Children's Stomach Pain, Swollen & Painful Breast (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Annie: Hi Dr. Cabral! Huge thanks for all you do and all the free help/advice you offer. I have been binge listening to your podcast over the past couple of weeks. I have really enjoyed how you integrate Ayurveda into your practice. I recently ordered my first 14-day detox and anticipate awesome results! My question is: could you talk about weight gain for Vata/pitta body types? I’m a Vata-Pitta (very thin wrists and ankles, a little broader shoulders, dry skin/hair, bloating and constipation) and have carried extra fat on my belly since around age 8 (I’m 24 now). It looks strange on my body as I am otherwise quite bony and lean. I eat clean and exercise regularly. Could this be excess Vata? I feel it’s not Kapha as it does not change with my diet or exercise and is in such a specific area. Would really appreciate any suggestions as it’s very frustrating and makes me feel insecure - I mean who doesn’t want a flat stomach? Thanks in advance! Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral. I love your show and all the valuable information you provide! My question is about afternoon snacking... I find that I eat healthy, whole nutritious foods for the beginning part of my day, but when 3pm rolls around I am ravenous and reach for anything I can get my hands on. It feels like my brain shuts off it’s wellness meter and I get caught up in the moment. I wouldn’t say it’s a binge because it’s not a lot of food... but it definitely feels like a lack of control. Why does this happen? Is there something I should be doing earlier in the day to prevent this? Thanks! Gabriella: Hi Dr. Cabral, First off, thank you for sharing your work and for sharing it with us. I have a question regarding what I was told was pain that started from a virus. The pain in my chest on the left side by my heart. My GP felt the area and told me it was text book costochondritis and that the virus that’s caused it was probably long gone but that the inflammation was still around. He told me to take three Advil a day until the pain went away. I usually refrain from taking Advil especially that much. I was wondering if you had another solution. Thank you, GP Donna: This is somewhat urgent. I’ve been a smoker for over 30 years struggling to completely quit. I’m getting ready to take advantage of your CBD Oil offer for March. Will this help me and do you have a protocol or suggestions for quitting smoking? I have been using the DNS for seven months, completed a 7 day detox, and ready to do a 21 day detox. I eat healthy, exercise and in good health except slightly elevated cholesterol. I will eventually do some testing but need to end this habit now. I prefer this question not be on a podcast or could this be addressed in a most general way as to addiction. If you could help me through a personal email I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise I would like to be anonymous. Thank you so much, Joel: Dr Cabral, my four year old has been complaining of stomach pain just left of his belly button for about 3 months. He originally had a “stomach bug” in November for a few days in which he vomited and wasn’t feeling well. Afterwards he’s continued to complain on average 3 times a day of just general stomach pain. In January he had an incident where he was writhing in pain. We took him to the ER by the time we arrived he said he felt fine. We eat overall pretty healthy Paleo style diet with organic foods overall. I can’t tell if it’s stress or if he’s really got something going on there. I’ve noticed his anxiety increase (gut/brain Or perhaps craving attention cuz we have a 7 month old that takes a lot of our attention noe too). He poops once a day and they are normal. His appetite is normal as well. Would you recommend rotation diet? Could you give a 4 year old CBD? Would you still run an organic acids/allergy test? How would you do a 21 day Cabral detox with a 4 year old? Thanks! Joel Woody: Hi, I'm interested in working with your advisory services. Briefly, 65, healthy, no meds, 180, 6 ft. PSA went from 3 to 6. MRI/biopsy Gleason 7. Urologist wants to destroy. Been following podcasts for awhile, done some research. Overseas business trip mid April through early May and putting off decision. Using Nutraceuticals and intermittent and longer fasting. Jai: Hi Stephen, 3 questions: My girlfriend gets headaches a lot when she is on her period, if she lacks sleep and when stressed, what can we do to prevent this? She also gets swollen breast that are painful to the touch. Yes, she takes birth control. And finally, she has lost about 50 lbs, and would like to lose an additional 10-15 more. She works out 4-5x per week at 45 min each, eats 3-4 balanced meals (protein, fat, carb and veggie), she drinks 1/2 her bodyweight in water or more daily. She is a CNA 4 3rd shifts per month and outside of exercise and the extra activity from being a CNA she is sedentary. She cannot break 139.8 lbs at 5'4" and endomorph body type. What would you suggest? Thanks.

848: Vasectomy Risks, Digestive Itchiness, Zinc Testimonial, BP Symptoms, Dientamoeba, Exercise on CBO Protocol (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Hayley: Hi Dr Cabral, I would love an opinion about vasectomies. I have read many men suffer side effects following the procedure, which isn't really talked about. Are there longterm hormonal implications from interfering with the normal flow of things down there? Thanks so much!   Lizbeth: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all the knowledge that you keep sharing through your podcasts. I will forever be grateful to everything I am learning through your podcast! I finally decided to purchase the CBO protocol! What made me make the final decision was getting a skin reaction after a dinner at a work-related event that I had to attend. None of my co-workers had it, and so I figured my body is definitely asking me to take care of this situation once and for all. I have always had a weak digestive system, but never had I experience rashes because of food consumption. These rashes also made me feel hot in those specific areas where the rash was happening. It did itch but I was not able to see any type of bump caused by it, only red skin. And I still get the itchy sensation after eating most meals. I do follow a very healthy diet, organic produce and meats, and Mediterranean style as you have suggested in other podcasts. Also, after that meal I suddenly gained a couple of pounds, and I can tell I am inflated because of how my watch and rings feel. I do have to say your team was extremely helpful in helping me make a choice to start at least with the CBO, and they suggested I contacted you as well to have a better idea of whether there are more steps I need to take besides the CBO Protocol. I have had h pylori in the past, and I have been concerned whether I have it again or no. I have listened to your how to leak a leaky gut in the past, as well as the one on food poisoning and H pylori, but I still can really put down the proper timeline of the products that I need to heal my body because I think I may need the intestinal cleanse. I know your upcoming book will have this info, but I would much rather not wait. I would think (for what I have heard you say) that I need the Healthy Belly, digestive enzyme, the intestinal cleanse and the CBO protocol, but for instance the CBO protocol already has the healthy belly and I have no idea if that bottle is all I need. Could you help me and guide me on whether or not I need an intestinal cleanse to heal my gut and the timeline on how to heal my digestive system? Thanks for your advice!    Anonymous: Stephen, thanks for your uplifting and informative podcasts! I get a lot of value from them. First I need to add a testimonial to your “super-nutrient of the week,” zinc, that you discussed on the March 2, 2018 podcast: I had extensive plantar warts on my toes for decades. I tried virtually all OTC remedies and liquid nitrogen at the MD’s office and none of these worked. Finally a dermatology PA suggested I try oral zinc along with my OTC topical remedy. Having decided by experience the OTC topicals were useless, and the zinc dose she suggested was high (400 mg) the literature cites up to 600 mg/day, I took (only) like 200 mg zinc per day for several weeks. My decades-long infection with plantar warts went away. I went off the supplemental zinc and the infection did not recur. This personal nutritional medicine outcome is why I listen to your podcast. You can find scientific studies showing effectiveness of Zn on Pubmed for example, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11952542 “Oral zinc sulphate in the treatment of recalcitrant viral warts: randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial.” However you won’t find Zinc supplement in the plantar wart department at your drug store. Despite its effectiveness its use doesn’t seem to be widespread. Zinc may have some special properties for viral infections, for example production of antiviral interferon. See http://piel-l.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Zin-en-verrugas-virales.pdf (You might be interested in the authors’ acknowledgement of the limitations of blood trace element analysis in diagnosis) Now, on to my question. (I’m hoping a naturopathy based therapy might help for my other medical problems) I’m 64 and suffered a heart attack about 12 years ago and had a stent implanted in my right coronary artery, Then I immediately changed my diet to a healthy plant based one, and also do a moderate exercise program 5+ days a week and often do mindfulness meditation. For 95% of the 12 years since I have taken statins, blood pressure medicine and aspirin. My BMI is good, all blood based testing is good, except lipids if off the statin. I drink alcohol moderately. Since the heart attack I also have ED and pain/stiffness in calf muscles when walking. I also get some swelling in my ankle sometimes if walking or standing for a length of time. I also have some degree of plantar fasciitis Conventional medicine has me diagnosed with peripheral artery disease, based on ankle/wrist blood pressure ratio. I’m a little skeptical of this because many people show similar patterns in these pressures and are asymptomatic. My cardiologist doesn’t think I am at a high risk for another heart attack. Generally I feel great. I’ve recently gone off my statin to see if my calf stiffness problem will go away. So far no luck. While they were OK with an experiment, the MDs highly recommend staying on the statin. I think the literature overall indicates statins help reduce the likelihood of a second cardiovascular event, but it’s not like a silver bullet. My blood pressure is not terrible without the medication so I could go off it temporarily, or permanently if a natural method would give adequate reduction. Could you recommend a course of action that might help identify and treat the underlying cause(s) and symptoms? Are the symptoms all the result of a systemic vascular disease? What would you recommend? I did hear you mention cayenne, ginger and argenine that might help my condition but you didn’t mention how much. I am sure there are many people with a similar set of symptoms. What do you think of Nobel prize winner Dr. Ignaro’s recommendation of argenine, citrulline, Vitamin C, E, folate, and lipoic acid? (published in “NO more heart disease” 2005) Thanks so much for any comments and keep up the great work!!! Peta: Hello, My name is Peta, I'm 28 and live in Australia. I'm wondering if you would recommend I do a lab test first or go straight to one of your detoxes. My main concern was acne, and being tired a lot of the time. Acne is at it's worst before my menstrual cycle (so maybe hormonal?) It is a lot better when I eat good fats and reduce sugar intake. However the past few months my bowel movements have changed - constipation and then diarrhoea and acne has worsened. My DR ran a blood test. Results say A mild thrombocytopenia (not sure what that is). Stool test detected Dientamoeba - the doctor said they are not sure if this is causing my symptoms and has prescribed antibiotics. Is this the best option? I am yet to take them. Thank you, Peta  Kathryn: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to your podcast every week after someone from my yoga teacher training told me about it. I find myself relating strongly to the questions from your house calls that deal with digestive issues. You always have the same advice, do the Candida & Bacterial Complete Protocol. My question is when is the best time to start this? for some back ground information about me (I'll try to keep it short) I'm 33 years old and have had digestive issues for the better part of 5 years. For the first two years of this I would get sick almost every time I ate, I was advised by doctors and dietitians to only eat what I didn't have a reaction to which was almost everything. I was also told to eat chicken and eggs to get nutrients I might have been missing. for most of 2 years I had every medical test done to check my gallbladder, my stomach, and intestines but the only thing found was legions on my stomach and an increased number of mast Cells in my stomach. my Doctor theorized I had an over active immune system called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I was put on medication and told again not to eat anything that I had a reaction to. I mostly ate potatoes and eggs for a year but saw no improvement. I eventually took my health in my own hands and became a plant based vegan eating mostly fruit. This helped a lot and the occurrence of my digestive problems reduced dramatically. I did this for about 6 months and started training for ironman triathlons which had been a dream of mine. My coach said I needed to eat a mostly high fat diet, I tried this for a a few weeks but my symptoms returned. in the last 2 years I've stayed plant based vegan, but now I eat a more balanced diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and starchy vegetables. it comes out to about 10-15% protein, 25-30% fat, and the remaining carbohydrates in the form of fruit or starchy vegetables. I've been seeing a naturopath for the past year and have done an organic acids test and food sensitivity test. As well as numerous blood tests to check nutrient levels and hormone levels. I never eat foods that I have a severe or moderate reaction to according to the food sensitivity test and very rarely eat foods that I have a mild reaction to and when I do it's in very small amounts. The organic acids test showed that under yeast and fungal markers Arabinose, Carboxycitric, and Tricarballyllic are high being 50, 35, and .76 respectively. Under Bacterial markers Hippuric and 2-Hydroxyphenylacetic were high at 575 and .76. My naturopath suggested Candida and SIBO but instead of advising on how to treat it because I was in the midst of Ironman Training has instead been trying to correct my low nutrient levels with supplements even though I'm not absorbing them well despite sticking to my whole food lifestyle. I literally never have a cheat meal or day. I experience diarrhea and nausea about once or twice a week still and would really like to put my digestive problems behind me for good. Right now I'm taking a Heart Burn medicine for inflammation in my stomach, St. John's Wort, HPA Stress Adapt, 10,000 IU Vitamin D3, Iron, and Liquid Vitamin B Complex, and probiotic. I'm again heavy in ironman training so I'm reluctant to start the protocol while training 12-15 hours a week. what amount of exercise do you recommend while doing the protocol? Is it an violable option for me during training? or would I need to reduce my exercising until I finish the protocol? I really appreciate your podcast and will be bringing this up to my naturopath the next time I see her.

846: Find Out Your Total Toxic Load (Quiz) (TT)

I had never heard of the term "Total Toxic Load" or "Total Body Burden" until about 12 years ago when I was re-discovering the ancient Eastern practices of detoxifying the body... What was interesting to me is that no matter what form of medicine you study such as Functional Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Bioregulatory Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, etc. (except conventional medicine ; ) you'll find that ALL of them use detoxification as a cornerstone for helping people get well... But the question is, how do you know how many toxins you may be holding onto if they are inside of you and not able to be seen? Luckily, there's a Functional Medicine quiz we use in my practice that can show you very simply what your total body burden is based on your current symptoms...

Did you know that there are actually 3 main "levels" of weight loss and that depending on where you fall within those levels that the type of nutrition and exercise will vary greatly? The truth is that the plan to help someone lose the last 10 lbs is drastically different than the blueprint for losing 50-100 lbs...

844: The Right & Wrong Way to Enjoy a Cheat Meal (TWT)

I'm a big proponent of never having to say goodbye forever to some of your favorite foods - even if they don't make the "healthy food list..." The problem is that the key to keeping your body and mind healthy is not moderation, but instead balance...

843: How Not to Hold Yourself Back from Your Goals (MM)

Sometimes in my practice I see people stuck - They don't know what they're doing wrong, and for whatever reason they can't seem to "catch a break..." However, from an outsider looking in, and as someone that's suffered quite a bit from poor (mental & physical) health earlier in their life I can see where they're going wrong... But, even if I'm able to articulate it to them, it often times doesn't resonate and this is simply because it clashes with their current belief systems... The problem is that although your beliefs up to this point have gotten you to where you are now (both good and bad) they most likely will not take you to the next level you seek...

842: Rain Water Collection, Thinning Hair, Esophageal Cancer, CBD Digestion, Child Seizures, Fatigue Testing, Pyroluria Test, Healthy Gut Protocol (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Hayley: Hi Dr Cabral, thanks for all that you do! I've listened to your recommendations on water filters and alkalising water. However I have a question about rain water. I live in rural Australia where we have a rainwater tank for our drinking water. I know rainwater in naturally acidic... is this necessarily a "bad thing"? Ours is around pH6. I know it's not the acidity of the food/ drink that's the issue, it's the way our body responds and processes it. If you think rainwater would be too acidic, how can we rectify it? Would a pinch of (aluminium-free) bicarb do the trick, or would that have other negative implications? Thanks! Susanne: Hi! I am interested in sorting out my health, Im struggling with fatigue, anxiety, stomach problems and thining hair. I am a 26 year old woman. However, I live in Spain. Is it possible to take the health tests from Spain? With shipment and legislation and everything. In advance, thanks for replay. Kind regards, Susanne  Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral, I was recently diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. The PetScan says it has not metastasized and that it is at the base of the esophagus. My questions are many: #1. How did I get this? We have no family history of any cancer; my job is like most people these days basically typing onto a computer screen and on the phone all day. I work out of my home. I am considered an obese 56 year old male at 6'1'' and 235 lbs. Now I am down 25+ lbs. to 209 so am simply considered overweight. I have never smoked, only drink alcohol occasionally and have a relatively healthy diet consisting of no soda or junk food, good home cooked meals, occasional sweets, espressos and teas. I have been on and off at the gym over the years as it never seems to produce results. #2. What can I do from a naturopathic angle to fight this cancer? #3. Understanding everyone is different and you cannot diagnose my specific case, is radiation, chemo and surgery the only answer? I watched "Cancer Can Be Killed" on Amazon last night and they discuss "Hyperthermia," "Ozone Therapy" and naturopathic dietary alternatives that sound a lot better than the traditional big 3. #4. How proven are these other modalities? If I was your brother or father what would you suggest? Thanks for all you do Doctor!! Hoping you can provide some answers sooner than later, Anonymous Travee: I have been taking your CBD oil for 25 days now . It gives me indigestion. I rarely get indigestion. Is there anything I can do for that Oh and I love, love, love your podcast. I am learning so much and slowly getting healthier Jenett: Hi Dr. Cabral, My friends son is a little over a year old and has been suffering in and off, from seizures. He has not had vaccinations so she's ruled that out, but the doctors cannot seem to figure out why he continues to have the seizures. Do you have any ideas as to what can cause this and what she can do about it? Thank you so much for your help. Jenett Krissy: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a new follower of your podcast and as a podcast fiend I have many episodes to get through still! I was wondering if you had any recommendations for my current health situation. I've been dealing with gut issues ever since having an infection and taking Cipro while living in Guatemala a few years ago. After returning to Canada I was diagnosed with leaky gut, Hashimotos and have since been treated for Candida, Klebsiella (multiple types), SIBO and various other overgrowths. After my last visit with my ND we agreed it was time for another SIBO treatment, this time making sure to emphasize prokinetics. The issue I have is that every time I start to treat SIBO I get such severe Adrenal Dysfunction.. I wake up during the night and cannot fall back asleep for hours.. and am incredibly fatigued and weak feeling throughout the day... as well having a reduced tolerance for stress. I wonder if this is because the treatment also reduces good bacteria and thus essential nutrients and minerals? Or is it due to a sudden increased ability to produce my own thyroid hormone and now my medication is too high? My ND does not want to test my thyroid levels every week as she thinks they will be all over the place anyways throughout the treatment. Have you ever worked with someone with these symptoms? I appreciate your feedback. Toni: Hi Stephen! I have been listening to your podcast for a while now and have finally decided to write in. I have just been diagnosed with Pyroluria and undermethelation and couldn't seem to find any information on your podcast search page in regards to both. I am from Australia and not sure if this is a new term for it here or where I should turn to look for more information on the topic. Hopefully you can shine some light on the diagnosis for me! Thank you, Toni  Christine: Hi, do you still offer the healthy gut protocol (the powder AND probiotic) as a package? I bought it in September and am recommending to a friend but cannot find it. I only see it in your store as sold separately. Thank you.

841: Acid Water, Copper IUD, Camp Fire Cough, Gout, Infertility, Ear Issues (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Carla: Hi Dr. Cabral, I live in a Canadian city that fluoridates it's water and have been using a table top distiller to make drinking water for the past 5 years. I've been adding mineral drops to the water as I've heard that distilled can leach minerals from your body. Is this true and am I doing enough to make the water safe to drink? I've also heard that distilled water is acidic and also not good to drink for that reason. Unfortunately I rent and can't afford to add special filters to the household system. Thank you very much for any advice you can give! Carla   Meghan: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’ve searched through your podcasts for your take on copper toxicity and couldn’t find what I was looking for so here it goes. I had a copper iud in for 10 years and then replaced with another one year ago. I had it taken out today. I’ve been suffering with; brain fog, insomnia, recurring UTIs, bladder urgency, recurring yeast infections (chronic), extreme fatigue, dry skin and most recently - dermal hyperpigmentation above my upper lip out of no where. I’ve been to dozens of specialists and taken countless tests with no help. I’m gluten and dairy free. I’ve tried the candida cleanse and recently your 21 day detox with no results which I know is abnormal. I did the OAT with you and subsequently ordered the yeast protocol from you while waiting for the results because I know I have candida overgrowth. My OBGYN said NONE of this is related to my copper IUD and it couldn’t cause copper toxicity but I just don’t believe it so I decided to have the IUD removed against her recommendation. Do you recommend I do the hair tissue mineral analysis for copper? Will I have any success on the yeast protocol of yours without cleansing myself of the copper? I am so tired of trying everything with such high hopes and then no success. Do you have any recommendations for someone with suspicion of high copper? I know that copper toxicity can cause candida overgrowth and most of my other symptoms as well. Thank you for all you do and looking forward to my coaching session this week to go over my OAT results.   Melisa: Seeking your guidance. We have a 3 year old son who at the end of last winter we realised our wood fire was causing him to cough at night, we stopped immediately & the cough went away. Several months later we had a camp fire to cook dinner (forgetting about the cough) and again our son woke at 3am with asthma symptoms & very restricted airways. I have tried using essential oils, diffuser, garlic teas, salt, coconut oil, to open his airways but it has been two nights now where we are awake all night. In the past he has had symptoms the same on two occasions & as his father suffered from serve asthma as a child & can relate to the tight chest & short of breath feeling we have given him an asthma puffer as recommended by a doctor. Can you suggest anything else I can do to quickly open his airways & allow him a nights rest without having to resort to the puffer. Also is it your recommendation to never use wood fires & instead using electric heating if living in a cold climate? Thank you!!! Cynthia: Hello. Without getting into my whole story...one condition I have is gout. I am curious what your view is. Some say it is a liver issue some say methylation, without knowing the individual do you think there is a common thread? Thank you!  Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I recently discovered your podcast and you are amazing! I really enjoy your podcast and have learned a great deal about how functional medicine can help heal the body. I'm writing based on a severe infertility issue I'm having, so I apologize for the lengthy question. At 37 years old, I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficieny (POI), which has been heartbreaking. I'm now 38 years old, 130 lbs, 5'4" and have been trying to conceive my first child. I had a failed IVF cycle and made it all the way to egg retrieval, but unfortunately there were no eggs to retrieve. I developed this condition fairly quickly , which leads me to believe it can be reversed. At the time of my diagnosis, I had food sensitivities, weird rashes on the side of my stomach, itchy skin, severe bloating and weighed 145 lbs. I also went through extreme stress (moving, job dissatisfaction, money woes, one parent diagnosed with cancer, other parent died unexpectedly). Currently -My periods are now irregular (40-72 days) -FSH reading on two separate cycles were 32 mIU/ml and 27 mIU/ml -AMH was 0.21 ng/mL -Extremely low estrogen, progesterone DHEA, testosterone. At 36 years old, I had a fertility work up and everything was normal -Regular periods (27-29 days) -FSH 9 mIU/mL -AMH 3.8 ng/mL -Normal estrogen/progesterone. I do have a history of an autoimmune disorder (mixed connective tissue disorder), and my POI is not due to a genetic mutation. I want to try another cycle of IVF but I'm worried about the low rate of success based on my stats. I've lost all the excess weight and bloat through dietary changes (mainly paleo diet) and walking. What do you suggest I work on leading up to my next IVF cycle? Also any ideas as to why this severe infertility disease happened to me in such a short time? Would you be willing to work with me to help me get back to optimal reproductive health? Thanks!   Zach: Hi Steven! I am currently dealing with problems with tinnitus, and strange sensations in the ear that make them sometimes feel plugged, and I am wondering if this is a sinus issue, blood pressure issue, or something else. Also I had my lipid panel done a few months back and everything was fine except my LDL was high. Could the LDL have some sort of connection to this? And what can I do to find out what type of nutrition will work for me to get to optimal health?   - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/841 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

836: How to Break the Cycle of Suffering (MM)

Deep down I have an unsuppressible need to teach people that they are not their disease... This most likely stems from years of my own previous wellness issues that I used to embody and wear as part of my identity...  That's why it's so important for me to get you to understand that you are not your autoimmune, migraine, skin, weight, cancer, or other health issue - Instead you are a healthy, strong, vibrant human-being presently struggling to get well... But, the first step to overcoming dis-ease in any area of your life is that you must dissociate with this current condition and begin to change the persona of the person you've told yourself that you've become... I know it's not easy, but I fear that without changing your mindset you will never be able to break the cycle of suffering... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 836 for details on how to change your thinking, rewire your neurology for success, and begin to live the life you were meant to have - Enjoy the show! - - -  Show Notes & Resource Links: http://StephenCabral.com/836 - - -  Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

835: Tonsillitis Recap, Cancer Referral, Pre-Pregnancy Detox, Potato Skins, Milk Alternative, Papulostear Rosacea, Post Nasal Drip Lab Test, Overcoming Fructose Malabsorption, Fix GI Tract (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Somah: Hi Doctor Cabral, Hope you are well. Your podcasts’ have changed my life. They are so informative. I’ve recommended you and your supplements to anyone who will listen. I take your CBD oil, Vitamin D, Vitamin C and some other things you recommend. I’m a 39 years old female, eat well, exercise often but last year I had about 7 bouts of tonsillitis. The doctors recommended that I get them removed but I’m a bit skeptical. I’ve been on Antibiotics all of last year and even steroids. There has to be another way. Please help. I’m so close to just getting them removed. I have an infection right now. Any information you can offer will be appreciated. Thank you so so much!! Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral and Team, Just received diagnosis on Friday (2-16) of esophageal cancer. It was a complete shock, I am a 56 year old white male, 6'1", was 235 lbs in October and now 210 as of this morning. Unfortunately thought that my inability to swallow was a temporary issue. Have had Barium swallow, endoscopy (biopsy) and CT scan. Results from latter should be back today or tomorrow. Weight loss has accelerated to about 1 lb./day. Started on Ensure yesterday. Tough getting food down. Have been eating cream of wheat with bone broth, Athletic Greens with nut milk, soups, nuts, avocados, etc. Had just started listening to your podcast in January and had ordered your 7 day detox just a few weeks ago. Obviously won't be finishing that off. In process of setting up my team to fight this cancer. Hoping you can help out or point me in the right direction.  Shannon: Hi Dr. Cabral. My question is regarding where to start in terms of what test to purchase to get a better idea of my personal health status. I'm 33 YO, 5'4", 62.7kg. My weight has not changed in the past 7 years, but my body composition has. I stay very active and eat clean organic foods, limit on the dairy and grains. I recently replaced my black morning coffee with ACV, lemon and sea salt and incorporated a fruit/veggie smoothie. Noticed an instant change; less bloating, no heart palpitations or anxiety. I was thinking of starting with the Organic Acids test, but not too sure. I would also like to complete your 7-day detox, but trying to conceive. What would you recommend? Very grateful for your time, thank you. Shannon Judy: I read in one of your FAQs that we should not eat the skins of potatoes. Does that include all varieties of sweet potatoes? Why should the skins be avoided?  Jess: Hi Stephen, Thank you for your incredible podcast! i have a few questions - sorry in advance for the long post what can i do to help acne during pregnancy? i usually do have some skin problems however in the few weeks it has been worse than usual. i just found out i am pregnant (about 6 weeks) so think thats the reason it has gotten so much worse. i am also still breast feeding my toddler (once or twice a day) - so i know a detox is out of the question. what are some other things i can do to help this? Also what would you suggest to use instead of toddler milk/formula when trying to wean? my little one is 19 months old and still had some breastmilk, apart from that he also has a grass fed toddler formula/milk. would you suggest an alternative milk like coconut milk? Thank you so much Jess  Cristina: Hi Stephen, I am 36 years old woman. Two years ago I developed an autoimmune condition called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. So last year I decided to change my foods habits. I did an intolerance food test and with the diet I am in remission. My diet is gluten free, dairy free, nightshades free. I eat veggies, meats, fish, fruits and nuts. Two months ago I developed Papulostear Rosacea in one of my cheeks. At this moment I don’t understand what’s going on. I have been on a healthy style since January 2017. What’s wrong with me?  Bill: I have a heavy, constant post-nasal drip. I have listened to Stephen's podcasts and it seems that the appropriate test for me to order is the IGG test. Is that what you would recommend in order to diagnose my problem?  Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for addressing my question about fructose malabsorption. About three years ago I began to experience feelings of nausea, gas and diarrhea. I went to see a gastroenterologist and he completed several invasive tests as well as a test for h pylori and SIBO. He told me that I had IBS and to take Prilosec, which I never did. A couple months went by and the diarrhea got really bad. I went back to see the same doctor and told him that something was wrong. He said, “Well I guess we can run a breath test for lactose and fructose”. The test result showed that I have fructose malabsorption. The doctor told me that there is no cure and that I should avoid eating food with fructose in it. Little did I know that a lot of food has this in it with varying amounts. I am fine with not eating sugar, honey, wheat and most fruits but I love all vegetables. I don’t feel as though I am getting a balanced diet because some veggies I can’t eat. Everyday I take a multi vitamin, fish oil, and D3 during winter. Will I ever be able to eat all my favorite veggies and fruits again? Thank you for speaking about a common sense approach to medicine. I have referred many people to your website. Ann James: My wife is having problem with heartburn and bloating.She is starting the detox this Monday. What else should she do to treat this condition?

834: Motion Sickness, Antibiotic Skin Reaction, Choosing a Lab, Antibiotic Gut Issues, Mexican Produce, Dental X-Rays, Chew & Spit (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Judy: Do you have any suggestions on how to prevent motion sickness when flying, driving or on a boat? I often get it when flying on a plane and have to take Dramamine and want to get away from taking conventional medicine. Periodically it happens on a car ride which I can prevent by not reading in the car and sitting in the front seat.  Jenett: Hi Dr. Cabral, My daughter has had a red dotted rash around her mouth and below her nose. It appeared around the time she and my son were sick with step and had taken antibiotics. I had to take her off because she got an allergic reaction from the amoxicillian which made her entire body breakout in small dotted red rash so I assumed it was a part of that but it’s been weeks and the rash around her mouth is still there. When I look online, it looks like Candida. Could this be what it is? If so, are there any home remedies to get rid of this? Is there a way to rebuild their gut after the antibiotics? Thank you so much -Jenett Camilla: Dear Stephen, I was crying through the entire 745/podcast. Happy tears. Because You just explained my dream. And with such ease. I would just love to come to Your clinic. But I live in Denmark. I listened to You on the Melissa Ambrosini show, and I just knew right away that I want You to help me get back on track. So my question is, what would You recommend for me. Like, where do I start? Do I run tests? Do I detox first? How do I find out what my body-type is, so I can start eating accordingly? I really hope that You can help me! I’m kind of desperate. Thank You so much, and please let me know What I need to do/ What info You need/ What to send/ pay.. I will do anything. All My Best, Camilla Anita: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thanks for your Aussie support, I've waited patiently for this time. You're podcasts are truly brilliant, thank you so much. So I have a question about my daughter. She is 23, lived her first 21 years in Australia, and now has moved to Oslo, Norway. Here are her symptoms. She has had rectal bleeding for two years now. She noticed this does not occur if the stool is very soft and no force is used. She has minimized gluten and dairy consumption. However still does consume these items on rare occasions. She gets recurring bouts of threadworm, even though she is very hygenic. She has great difficulty falling asleep and lives in Norway where lighting conditions vary widely. But she has always had sleeping difficulties, even in Australia, falling asleep around 4-5am, then sleeping till midday. She has had an outbreak of boils for almost 6 months and currently lives in a basement apartment in which mold seems to grow quickly. She does use a dehumidifier. She tries to keep her stress levels in check but is doing a Masters degree and thus they naturally rise. She exercises at least 4 times a week, mostly resistance training, with bits of intervals. She takes a Magnesium supplement called CalmX by Metagenics, which used to help, but no longer has much impact. She also takes fish oil, Vit B (as she is a vegetarian). There are several issues going on, I just don't know where to begin to help her?  Donna: Dear Dr. Cabral, On a recent podcast you mentioned that it wasn't good to eat produce from Mexico. What if it's from Mexico but is USDA certified organic or some produce just has a little green "organic" sticker on it? Is that trust worthy? It seems as though most of our produce at our local Fresh Thyme store is from Mexico. On amazon and in stores I can only find organic cold pressed unrefined sesame oil from Mexico. What do you use and from where? Does Avocado oil need to be organic as well because I haven't found any. Also, is it important that all nuts we eat are organic too and must they say USDA organic? You recommend wild blueberries, but our costco store carries frozen ones that do not say organic.What brand do you use? What kind of cleaner is safe for kitchen sinks, showers / tubs to remove stains & build up.What about shampoos & soaps, laundry detergent, and dryer sheets? Are there specific ingredients to stay away from such as sodium laurel sulfate? What about make-up, nail polish, & polish remover? Thank You so much for sharing all of your knowledge with us!!! D.C. Chantelle: You're a fabulous human, Dr. Cabral - thank you for helping so many of us be our healthiest self! I don't like going to the dentist because they require you to undergo x-rays at each cleaning. Do you think these frequent x-rays are safe? Matt: Hey Dr Cabral. I heard about this new product which supposedly helps prevent hair loss. I looked at it and it seems to have high quality ingredients like Ashwagandha, Circumin, Kelp, Biotin, Selenium, etc. Do you think it could actually help prevent hair loss/male balding. Thanks! Lance: Have you heard of "Chew and Spit"? What does this do to the physiologic and/or hormonal response? Your perspective is greatly appreciated!

828: OAT Results, Application Process, Dosha BodyType Diet, Cooking for 2, Cystic Breakouts, Marfan Syndrome (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Stephanie: Hello! My husband and I have listened to your podcast for several years. As a personal trainer, I use "A Man's Guide to Fitness" to train all of my weight loss clients. As a nutritionist and health coach, I now run your Organic Acids Test's, IgG and Metals tests and recommend all of your protocols. I do a lot of research and have spent countless hours and days watching videos and reading articles about the OAT's. I know more about bio-chemistry and the Krebs cycle than I ever thought I would! In fact, I'm downright obsessed with the test. However, when I ran my own test it was determined that all of my nutritional markers were fine except my Vitamin C was low (seems to be the case with everyone on this test) and my Vitamin B5 level was high. Pantothenic acid is not one of the vitamins whose high range indicates a deficiency. My question to you is this, "Would it be possible that my B5 is high because it is literally passing through me without being absorbed at all?" I was off the chart for Candida (101) and my Oxalic/Citric acids were off which I think was off due to a calcium deficiency. I found that PH was definitely acidic and I have begun taking your Cal-Mag and now my PH is back to normal. I eat a lot of spinach (thinking that I was getting calcium) but it turns out a high oxalate food like spinach does not provide much calcium and in fact may contribute to a decrease in my calcium absorption. Would the CBO protocol be appropriate for me to rid myself of the Candida? Furthermore, should I run a metals test to determine whether or not I have a build up of metals (I had my amalgams removed back in the late 90's by a regular dentist) since I understand that Candida can bind to metals in the body? Sorry to be so long winded. Thank you. Ayubowan.   Linda: Hello, I'm interested in coming up with a nutrition plan, and would like to figure out if I have a food intolerance. Your application form is not secure, and so I did not feel comfortable providing that level of personal information online. Please let me know if there is a written form I can pick up to fill out instead, if I can speak with someone on the phone, or, preferably, set up an appointment. Thank you, Linda Philippa: Hi Dr Cabral. I love your show and since discovering it a couple of weeks ago i have been trying to listen to as many as i can. I have especially enjoyed your shows about Ayurveda and my husband and I have started to implement a lot more Ayurvedic principles into our life. We think that I am a Vata-Pitta (medium height, small wrists, always dry and cold and a tendency to worry a lot) and my husband is a Pitta-Kapha (moderate build, does not do well with hot weather, but very easy-going and can sleep for hours). My question is about food. As i am dominant in Vata i know that my body needs more carbohydrates for fuel and i have found that I do not do well on red meat. However, my husband as a Pitta seems to crave protein and especially red meat. I am not sure what foods to cook now - during the day it is fine as we both have our own breakfasts and eat lunch at work. But at night we eat together at home. Can you recommend any kinds of meals which would work well for both of us? I do not want to end up cooking two meals, but want to make sure we are both nourishing our bodies in the right way. Thank you so much! Joey: Dr. Cabral, Good morning. First of all thank you for everything you do. I sent you a question on Jan 14. I know you say it takes 3-4 weeks. It’s now been five weeks and I just wanted to know if you received my email. I am attaching my email below. Thank you so much. Joey. Dr. Cabral, I am a 39 year old male that’s an ex athlete that still works out everyday. My diet is really good and have been fasting between 12-16 hours a day for about a two years. The last three years I have been spending time coaching basketball in Eastern Europe and in China(4 months). For the past year, I have been having serious lower throat pain that comes and goes usually lasting for weeks. Also while having this pain I get other symptoms such as blurred vision(especially bad in left eye), fatigue, lightheaded when standing up, dizziness, numbness in hands and feet(like they have falling asleep) and just overall really jittery and anxious. Doctor, I just feel off like everyone is moving around me in fast motion. It’s really frustrated because nobody can seem to figure out what’s wrong with me. Anything you can do would be appreciated.   Marisa: I'm a 34 year old female and for over 10 years I regularly get cystic painful breakouts around my mouth area during ovulation and sometimes just before my period. My period was always regular. I then became pregnant and started breastfeeding and the breakouts disappeared and I got my great complexion back. My baby is now 8 months and I have started to wean her and my breakouts have returned although my period hasn't come back yet. My blood sugar is within the normal range but at the higher end. Could there be a testosterone link? My body type is slim and slender and I've never had to diet, always been slim but I do have a sweet tooth but otherwise my diet is healthy. I also suffer from constipation. Thank you ever so much!  Jeff: Hi Dr. Cabral, A friend of mine had been diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome. His doctor told him I can not lift weights or even move heavy furniture. I was wondering if you have any insight into this condition that I can pass along to him. My concerns are the effects a lifetime of not being able to step into a gym will have on him down the road.

827: Gastritis, Wine & Fatigue, Diverticulosis, Myofascial Balls, Food Allergies for Life, Vitamin Amounts (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Tom: Dr. Cabral, I am contacting you today seeking help with gastritis. I heard you on Justin Stenstrom's elite man podcast and talked breifly with Justin about contacting you. I have been on and off medications for almost a year, have kept refining my diet, I meditate regularly, currently trying acupuncture, anything I can to try to rid this, but I just can not seem to kick it, I am willing to do anything to get rid of it for good. Let me know if you can help. Thank you for your time! Valerie: Hello Dr. Cabral! I have Adrenal fatigue and astopinia. I like my wine (a little to much) and I tend to drink about a bottle , on my two days off. I wonder if you could do a Podcast on drinking and how your body process it and in general, what what effects it has on ones health. I really enjoy your Podcasts. So much great information.   James: Hi Doctor Cabral. I listen to all your podcast and just ordered the 21 day detox. I have many questions but thought I stay with one for now. I have had serveral attacks for 15 years with Diverticulosis. I take heavy dose of anti biotics for 10 days drink only fluids and it goes away. My attacks come once every year to a year and half. Do not want to have the surgery just yet. I am 60 years old and wondering if getting my gut better and doing your detox a few times a year would help with me from getting the attack’s. I do not follow a healthy diet but was thinking of going with plant base type mediteraining diet. Can you please let me know what I should do to prevent this for good. Please keep up the great work you are touching, and helping so many people. Be well, James Zoe: Hi Dr Cabral, I wondered if you could help me with some issues that my parents are suffering from: My mother has osteo-arthritis - as "diagnosed" by a medical doctor. She has felt it worsening over recent years - one of her ankles has only limited movement (as it has seized up/the bone has fused - per my understanding) - and she worries that she will end up being unable to walk. She is otherwise fit and healthy, although she suffers with anxiety, depression and some digestive issues (which seem to be linked to the anxiety). (she has also suffered from debilitating migraines since childhood, which can be better or worse depending on what else is going on in her life) and she had a difficult upbringing. When she does do exercise (such as dancing or hill walking), she really suffers with pain for several days after, and i worry that she is inclined to do less and less exercise as her condition worsens. She is a type a personality and either wants to walk for miles on end, or not bother with anything at all - all or nothing. I have heard that changes to diet and myofascial release can be beneficial, but i'd really appreciate your advice. My father has suffered with quite significant digestive issues for the last few years since he gave up work, and since encountering significant emotional stress in our family life. Before this, he had seemingly a very strong constitution - he had a very good job at the top of a company - and i think he misses this defined purpose and interaction. He is generally slim, fit and healthy, although he has suffered with inflammation and significant pain in his knee in recent years. he can have low mood and energy and he no longer sleeps deeply or well. If he eat rich food, late at night or a high volume of food, he experiences significant pain, bloating and a need to rush to the loo on a repeated basis. He took a food diary for a week, and it seemed to me that dairy and wheat (including beer!) were, at least, contributing factors. However, he is very relunctant to remove any of these, as he thinks that removing them will making him more sensitive to them, and that he then wont be able to tolerate these foods at all.I think there is a pattern with his digestive issues and how happy/purposeful/stressed he is. He added disgestive enzymes to his routine, on my advice, which he found helped more than the acid reflux medication that his GP gave him (called, i believe, Lansoprazole). However, in recent months, his pain and acid has become worse and he has gone back onto the acid reflux recommendation, which unfortunately says that he cant used any other digestive aids (including enzymes, presumably) for at least 2 hours either side of taking the meds. He doesnt have any white coating on his tongue so i dont think he has a bacteria overgrowth, so i've been trying to get him to take probiotics. Ive encouraged him to take electrolytes as he has a tendency to drink a lot of water (to counter the red white and beer!) - and he thinks that this has helped with energy and hydration too. Do you have any advice including a test you'd kindly recommend as i would like to give him a test as a belated Christmas present from myself! General question - i wondered if you had any thoughts on myofascial/lacrosse balls for releasing tension in the shoulders and ankles? And do you rate tissue salts? Finally, do you have any recommendations for strong CBD oils in the UK, as unfortunately, i believe that I am unable to purchase your product. Apologies for the length of this request - i am hoping to pass your advice to my parents, and to get them to listen to your podcast, so they dont think im simply nagging them unnecessarily! Thank you, as always, for all that you do for our community! Best, Zoe     Zhang: Hi Dr Cabral. In regards to the food sensitivities test you offer, should I avoid the foods that come back as being highly sensitive for the rest of my life or just for a period of time? Thank-you Joe: I am a regular listener and I appreciate what you are doing through your podcast. I am completing your detox protical with great results. In your daily nutritional support you list the various %’s of how each vitamin or mineral compares to the USDA minimum guidelines. Like you, I plan on using the daily support powder in my smoothies. I was curious after looking at the label, why do you have B-12 at 4,167% of % daily required and B-6 at 1,250%, but at the same time, calcium and magesium are respectively 5% and 13%? For instance, I have stopped consuming dairy and I find it hard it to reach 100% of calcium through diet alone. Should I find other supplements for these minerals? Thanks for your feedback.

825: Can You Out Exercise a Bad Diet? (TT)

Nothing is more frustrating when you're trying to eat well and exercise, yet the weight still won't come off...

My goal is to be able to teach your how to live a life without depriving yourself of some of your favorite "treats," while being able to still transform your body to its peak health & shape...

824: The 8 Unexpected Side Effects of Weight Loss (WW)

822: How to Get Out of Your Own Head In Order to Heal (MM)

It's been my experience that the majority of schooling (even Naturopathic) teaches us to treat the individual as an object that is almost like a car out of alignment... We look to prescribe a medication or natural supplement in order to heal (in the case of conventional medicine "suppress") the health issue, but we pay very little attention to the silent cries of the patient... What if the real reason a person can't get well has more to do with their dominant thoughts rather than their physical being? What if they've "tried everything," but still can't get well? Do we do more of the same? Or, do we begin to treat people as human beings and speak with them on a deeper level? Unfortunately, this level of care is not taught in school, but it is imperative for those looking to heal others as well as themselves...

821: Valtrex, Acid-Blocking Repercussions, Osteoporosis, Gut Permeability Issues (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Lauren: Hi Dr Cabral, First, thank you! You continue to help me daily! This question is for my sister. She is 32 and after doing a month of whole 30 she found out she has a mild case of crohns in the tail of small intestine. She only got ct scan and colonoscopy with biopsy. The gastro told her to take lialda 1.2 (2tablets a day) and budesonide 3mg (3times a day) for two weeks while she is overseas and then come in to discuss treatment. I am very anti this as the doctor never discussed why she has all this inflammation in the first place. For background she also found out she had HSV-2 3 years ago right after she randomly got shingles. for the HSV2, she takes valtrex as she thinks its the only way. She has also been on birth control for 15 years. I believe since she started Valtrex, her stomach has been in shambles and her hair appears to be thinning. The doctor took her blood work and said everything seems 'fine' but she has elevated testosterone. First, Can you please recommend what she should do for crohns as well as what foods she should eat/avoid .. I want her to see a nutritionist to see what she can eat and/or a functional doctor or better yet you despite living in NY, to test for food sensitivities, organic acid test, heavy metals, thyroid etc. Secondly, can you please recommend the absolute necessary testing she should get done and how she can go about NOT taking these harsh treatment drugs doctors typically prescribe. I have a feeling her immune system already is poor and those treatments will make it worse and lead to later bigger problems. Third, could the valtrx and birth control and HSV2 in general be something causing the crohns? I want her off those medicines but I figured she may respond better to you rather than me telling her! Thanks in advance!! I really want to help her as she is overwhelmed and needs direction on what exactly to do/eat etc. Lori: Hi Dr. Cabral. I’m so glad I found your podcast. I tell everyone about it and love passing on information to them that I think will help them - I have a question about my loud stomach. My stomach seems extremely loud after I eat, but there’s even times when I haven’t eaten anything and it is still making gurgling noises. I drink a smoothie every morning using your daily nutritional support, and I just ordered the fruit and vegetable blend. I tried using the probiotic in the daily protocol but it made me so bloated and uncomfortable that I stopped taking it. My diet is okay. It could be better but I don’t eat red meat, have occasional chicken, and eat mostly fish. I don’t eat a lot of processed food, and I do some form of exercise every day, either rowing, elliptical, weights or yoga (my favorite). I also try to meditate daily. I do get heatburn and maybe 5 years ago I was put on Zantac every day. I went off after a year or two because I felt I didn’t need it anymore. Ironically, I was put on high blood pressure meds a few years ago even though I am not overweight and have no other risks factors other than high bp readings at dr.’s office. I’m 5’7”, 135, workout daily, limit salt, no red meat. In your podcast 108, it said low stomach acid could be a cause. I monitored my bp for one month at home and had very good readings. I brought that info to my pcp and he said I could possibly stop, which I did. I’ve been monitoring and am having good readings. It’s been almost 4 months that I’ve been off all medication, not even over the counter Tylenol. I’m wondering if you think my loud stomach is because of an overgrowth and should I give the probiotics another try? It really made me very bloated and it was very uncomfortable. Thank you for your help. I look forward to hearing what you think I should do. Deb: Dr. Cabral, I am a new 'convert' to your wealth of health insights thanks to friend Lisa. I am 68 female with Hashimoto's who has osteoporosis in both hips and osteopenia in spine. I have resisted taking any of the bisphosphonates or Prolia in the 15+ years I've experienced bone loss due to all the side effects. I eat healthy mostly Mediterranean diet (and no gluten, soy, or GMOs, eat organic 90%) and focus on exercises that will strength butt muscles and take 'all the right supplements.' A functional medicine osteoporosis expert proposes (while not a fan particularly) I take Prolia for 1 year and follow it up with a year on Fosamax reasoning that Prolia DOES build bone BUT if you stop it you are at greater risk of fracture. My integrative PCP is proposing Prolia and does not like bisphosphonates. What is your advice please? Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently got introduced to your podcast through your interview on Jay Ferruggia's podcast and I've been tuning in often to your podcast ever since! I've also been sharing it with my friends and colleagues and family members when I hear something on your podcast that might help them! So thankful for your insights and simple, straight-forward approach to healing. Over the last year I worked with a nutritionist in the Ottawa, Canada area (I also got him hooked to your podcast). Together we identified many food sensitivities (through electrodermal testing) and I changed my diet and approach to food drastically since then. (I'm trying to get my family on board but that has been a bit more challenging. But that is a topic for another day!) I saw immediate and ongoing amazing results. I am 5'4", athletic body type although small, and when I was a teenager weighed around 105-110 lbs), but after my 2nd child I kept gaining weight and couldn't lose it even though I kept increasing my exercise and work-outs and considered myself to eat very healthy. I had reached over 130 lbs, felt tired all the time, and was experiencing early signs of depression. Removing the foods I was sensitive to, I lost 18 lbs in around 3 months, and I recently lost that last stubborn 5 lbs after a bout of the flu (I am now back to 108-110lbs!). I have more energy and more zest for life, etc. Among my food sensitivities are the usual culprits but also a curious list of fruits and vegetables: gluten, oatmeal, corn, soy, dairy, pork, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, zucchinis, all legumes, papayas, mangos, kiwis, bananas, coconut products (except oil), sesame oil and seeds, garlic, food additives and stevia, etc. But I still experience frequent bloating and gas and sometimes constipation after having a "cheat meal" no matter how small the "cheat" ingredient is (which is on my food sensitivity list). The funny thing also is that my food sensitivities seem to change every few months. I also still struggle with psoriasis on my scalp - that has not gone away (had it for nearly 10 years now) and still is itchy even after 14 months of being on my program. I recently eliminated caffeinated coffee (still have decaf) and alcohol but this didn't seem to do anything. I have sugar maybe once a week in a larger amount, usually it is a teaspoon or less per day. I eat vegetables and protein every meal (usually meat protein since I can't do legumes) and do starch for lunch and dinner. I recently stopped eating between dinner and bedtime (and changed my bedtime routine based on your diurnal rhythms podcast episode. I go to bed close to 10pm and I naturally wake up close to 6am sometimes before. Whereas before I was so tired no matter how late I slept in!) I take magnesium glutamate (2 capsules before bed), a Vit B12 supplement (bought at pharmacy, Jamieson brand - my physician had identified low B12 levels through blood work before I started my diet change), and a Vit D3 supplement (also bought at pharmacy). I also take a probiotic capsule every day (mix of bifido and lacto) that my nutritionist gave me specifically for IBD-type of symptoms. I take the odd digestive enzyme before a cheat meal, and during periods of more cheating (e.g. holidays) I take glutamine powder every day. Wondering if you have any specific recommendations on how to figure out the problem around my digestion and my psoriasis (I suspect they are related). I listened to your previous podcasts on psoriasis and also on food sensitivities and digestion related. However, I am not clear what is the best protocol to start with: candida yeast overgrowth protocol, or the detox, and should I do the 7 or 14 or 21 day detox? and then what? (weight loss is not my goal). And, based on my body type, should I be eating a different proportion of macro nutrients? Also, my nutritionist's method did not identify the severity of food sensitivities, so I don't have a good sense for which foods to really remove completely and which ones are ok to cheat once in a while (other than dairy and gluten, they give me constipation for 3 days).Lent has started so this is a perfect opportunity to reset my body and my mind! Look forward to your suggestions. thank you so much.

820: Detox Ingredients, 3-Day Parasite Test, Blood Sugar Dysregulation, High SIgA, Post-Workout Antioxidants, Plastic Water Bottles (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Josh: I wanna know the ingredients in the detox protocol?   Denise: I would was wondering if the parasite test are very good at finding farm type parasites. I have been around farm animals all my life and did have two parasite test that did not find anything. I know my gut is still boating causing discomfort. It could be bacterial overgrowth but l don't know how to tell want the problem is. Do you have any thoughts on how to figure the problem out. Love your podcasts. Thanks for all your great advice.   Gene: I heard Dr. Cabral on a podcast and realized he may be one of the few people would could solve the last puzzle in my blood glucose puzzle. Does Dr. Cabral do online consulting? What is his hourly rate? Thanks for any thoughts. Gene Jordan: Hi Dr Cabral. I recently took an Adrenal Stress Index test by Diagnos-Techs. Everything came back normal except my Total salivary sIgA which came back high. Do know what this could be a sign of? Or is there any any follow-up tests you think I should run to see if this is anything to be concerned with? Thanks! Daniel: Hi Dr. Cabral, You are amazing. The knowledge on Health, Nutrition, Fitness and mindset provided to us by you on the Carbal Concept is outstanding. I first heard your interview on the Renegade Radio podcast and I resonated with much of your ideas and principals of balance in life. After finishing the 21-day detox, I would like to continue with the daily all-in-one shake, but I have a question regarding the influence of anti-oxidants (vitamin E, C, etc.) consumed post-workout on muscle adaptation, particularly muscle growth. Health is most important and with health comes both performance and aesthetics. I would like to build more muscle as I am slightly underweight after being overweight as a teenager and losing both muscle and fat with too much cardio focused training (lowest I have been was 160lbs at 6ft 6” tall). I still have some stubborn belly fat to address and was wondering if there is accuracy in some of the research regarding post-workout anti-oxidant consumption blunts the muscle growth stimulation? My training sessions (weights or HIIT) are first thing in the morning and my breakfast is also a post-workout shake. Would it be more optimal to have a 2:1 Carb to protein post workout shake for breakfast then have the Dr. Cabral All-In-One Shake later in the day as a snack away from the workout? Thank you and all the best, Daniel Jordan: Dr Cabral. Thank you for the Jala water recommendation. I live in Boston and had been going to the Boston Clear Water mineral spring in Lynnfield and filling up with glass jugs to get my water, but now I will be getting the Jala water. My question is, it seems that the Jala water comes in plastic water bottles. What is your opinon on this? I've heard some people say some kinds of plastics are fine and others say all plastics are bad. What do you think? Am I fine drinking from Jala plastic water bottles?

818: Warning: Avoid These 4 Weight Loss & Sports Supplements (TT)

In any industry that has the ability to do a lot of good, you'll inevitably find a few "bad actors" that try to smear the good name of those looking to server others... This is the exact case in the nutritional supplement industry where cutting-edge Ayurvedic, TCM, and Functional Medicine formulas are literally giving people their life back (along with healthy lifestyle modifications), but still a few companies are trying to ruin things for everyone else... What they do is use very cheap ingredients that often contain putrified protein, heavy metals, mold, or other contaminants and try to get away with it... The problem is that those "marketing companies turned supplement retailers" do not care about your overall well-being and health... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 818 I want to share with you the 4 weight loss and sports supplements to stay clear of in order to keep yourself healthy & safe - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/818 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

816: Do Not Ignore These 11 Early Warning Signs of Heart Health Issues (TWT)

The problem with heart health issues is that we usually never worry about them until it's too late... Our reason for pretending nothing is going on is completely normal since we've never been taught what the signs or symptoms are weeks, months or even years before a heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular event takes place... But all that changes today on the #CabralConcept 816 where we'll review the 11 early warning signs of heart health issues - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/816 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

815: Why You Must Fail In Order to Ultimately Succeed (MM)

When I hear someone utter the words, "failure is not an option" I usually crack a little smile, since I know they must be new to this game we call life ; ) The funny thing is that the person uttering that phrase is actually more correct than they even know - but for the wrong reasons... You see, failure is not an option. It's the only option in life. You don't get what you want in life, or achieve your wildest dreams without numerous failed attempts... On today's #CabralConcept 815 I'll share with you why you MUST fail in order to ultimately succeed and why those failures are actually something to look forward to - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/815 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

814: Creatine Recommendation, Cracked Teeth, Mouthguard, Foundational Help, Fruit Fast, Toxic Rash, TBI & Vision (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Judy: What brand of creatine do you recommend and do you recommend a certain amount based on body weight and goals or should I follow the manufacturer’s instructions? Cristi: Hi Dr. Cabral, I continue to appreciate all of your helpful information, and I have been trying to listen to all the back episodes of your podcast. I’m wondering what you have to say regarding bruxism and/or gum recession. My conventional dentist claims that I grind my teeth at night which is causing cracks in my teeth that he showed me on an x-ray. He also said that this is the cause of my gum recession where as my previous conventional dentist said that I simply brush too hard and never said anything about bruxism. It seems as if this dentist recommends a mouth guard to almost everyone that comes to his practice. From what I overhear every time I am in the office, everyone seems to have one. After getting my teeth cleaned, I either have a headache or my mouth is sore in some way. The cleanings are very rough. When I wear the mouthguard, I have a hard time sleeping with my mouth closed especially if I am a little stuffy, and I wake up with a dry throat. I also feel like I grind my teeth at night after visiting the dentist and when wearing the night guard. I also hate the thought of sleeping with plastic in my mouth every night. When I did not use the mouthguard for a period of time because I had a cold, I then tried to wear it again, and the next morning my teeth had moved; my bite was different and it took a couple of days to come back to normal. Suffice to say, I am no longer wearing the mouthguard, and I am finding a new dentist. I have already started on your nutritional support shake, with additional magnesium and vitamin D as well as curcumin. I eat an extremely healthy diet, essentially what you recommend. I suspect that if I do grind at night, it is stress related. I try things to mitigate this Such as exercise, yoga, meditation, CBD oil, etc. But I have no way of knowing whether or not I am grinding at night and if my efforts are stopping the problem, or if I am going to end up with all of my teeth falling out one day Because I am not wearing the horrible night guard which the dentist chastises me for not wearing. Help! Thank you, thank you, thank you.   Vaughan: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for your amazing mission to share your wealth of knowledge with the world, including myself! My question is for my wife, she has been diagnosed with Narcolepsy 5 years ago, has anxiety and situational depression. She has been loaded up with some high doses of medications over the last 5 years including clonazapam, Dex-amphetamine, A-nuvigil, Lyrica and a number of others on and off. She has had a history of chronic endometriosis, abdomen pain, mood issues and has only just completed surgery for a full hysterectomy. She is a 20+ a day smoker and displays addictive behaviours. I have been unable to get her to look at underlying causes, opposed to treating symptoms and feel there is serious gut linkages between all of her issues. She is the definition of a complex case and so far all medical practitioners are simply juggling her between specialists (neurological, sleep, gyno, psychiatrist) and nobody is looking at the whole picture to assess causation. HELP! I know a little (enough to think gut disbiosis - leaky gut / SIBO leading to neurological and hormonal impalances ). What are your thoughts? Thanks for your time and consideration.Best regards, Vaughan  Ali: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've been told by a functional medicine doctor that when we take supplements, vitamins, probiotics, etc. that we're inhibiting our body's natural ability to create those things that we need on its own, which is turn makes us more dependent on the supplements... Is that true? She's big on fasting (after curing herself from Hashimoto's through fasting and fruit), and believes we can thrive on fruit-only, as our primate brothers + sisters do. I have some lymph stagnation and my kidneys aren't filtering waste, so she has me on a 90-day detox with a bunch of herbs and I'm told to eat only fruit.... This seems quite extreme and I'm wondering if you could offer your thoughts? I know I won't stick to fruit-only for the long-haul, but is it an okay thing to do for 90 days? On the long haul, do you agree that our bodies can make everything we need if we stop consuming so many supplements and probiotics? Thanks so much! Derek: Hi Dr. Cabral. Found your podcasts about a year ago and love the helpful information. I have recently had a red rash/red bumps break out on just my neck. I believe it to be eczema. It flares up from time to time and gets a little itchy. I am going to try eliminating gluten and eggs from my diet as I know them to be common sensitivities. What else could I do in addition to this? Thank you so much!   Krystal: Hello Dr. Cabral, My husband experienced a TBI after a near fatal car accident he had in 2015. Because of the accident he has loss of peripheral vision on the right eye, scarring on the left eye (retina), seizures, short term memory loss, depression and migraines. Doctors say he won’t be able to drive again because of the loss of vision. I give him magnesium, turmeric and multivitamin every morning. With that, he also takes seizure medication called oxcarbazapine and devalproex. I am hesitant to stop the medications because he had a grand mal seizure in July when he tried to come off the meds. Chiropractors are nervous to do any adjustments due to the severity of his accident. With all of his issues, are there any other natural remedies I can implement for my husband besides the turmeric and magnesium? The main thing he wants back is his vision. Thank you so much doctor, your podcasts are so informative!  Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/814 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

813: After Dinner Snacking, Stressed, Achalasia, Eyelashes Falling Out, Antibiotic Regimen, Shaky Muscles, Rebuild Body (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Eliana: Hi, I am addicted to your podcasts! They have taught me so much. My question today is about the timing of carbs. It makes sense to me that with my goal of getting lean, it would be best to eat my carbs earlier in the day and none at night (after 3?). I heard your episode about meal type/timing and do eat liquid breakfasts, and have begun to have my carbs at lunch. I have begun cutting carbs out of my dinner and mostly have greens and fish, sometimes lentil soup. I eat a very healthy diet based on Mediterranean practice. I do sometimes have a snack after dinner which is usually a rice cake with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter or something with dark chocolate. Do you agree with cutting out these carbs at night, and do you have any other ideas for me to get lean, as I already eat well and exercise frequently (lift 3-4x’s per week and throw in cardio around that). Thanks!! Julie: Hi Dr. Cabral, some years back I was diagnosed with PCOS (but no insulin resistance) after coming off the pill that was prescribed to me due to my bad acne when I was 15 years old. My doctor put me on the pill again until I had enough of taking synthetic hormones. I stopped taking the pill about three years ago altogether. I have always been very slim but about two years ago started to put on fat on my legs (+cellulite) and arms and just some around my belly. Also my skin has never been really clear. I suffer from acne mainly on my cheeks and upper back and shoulders. I am also prone to rosacea. I also noticed that hair growth increased on my legs and to some extend in my face. I have been taking vitex which brought me a regular period but I stopped taking it (June 2017) after my Naturopath told me that I should not take it long-term. I still get my period but my cycle is ranging from 35 to 61 days. I was trying to heal my gut with primal dieting, but felt awful due to histamine reactions. In August last year, I tried to heal my gut once again with the "gut thrive in 5 program" which I did great on. I did not lose any weight though, but my sugar cravings are gone, I seem to have a higher threshold for histamine containing products and I have regular bowel movements. Unfortunately, I still worked out even though my muscles were fatigued most of the time. I had the same issue when I was cutting out carbs on the primal diet. I now know that I was stressing out my body, and increased my carb intake dramatically. My carbs are mainly coming from sweet potato, pumpkin, some fruit (no citrus fruit), legumes, oats and occasionally from quinoa or wild rice. I also cut back on my workouts and focused on destressing, doing walks, Yin yoga (and some vinyasa classes if my body could handle them as my muscle fatigue was extreme at some points). I feel way better with an increased carb intake and have a lot more energy. My muscle fatigue is now completely gone and I started to incorporate about 2, 20 to 30 minutes runs into my week. I also do some more vinyasa classes now and I feel fine. Still do Yin Yoga, am on a 55 days meditation streak and started to take Rhodiola in the morning, which seems to help with energy and recovery and I think I am on a good way to get my period regular this time. I also started to look more into Ayurveda in order to tame my skin, as it still is inflamed most of the time and to better look after myself according to my body type. About two years ago I saw an Ayurvedic doctor in Germany, but she wasn't sure if I was a Pitta-Kapha or Tridosha. If I do online test, I always get Tridosha. However, I am focusing on a Pitta pacifying diet (but eat no dairy at all and just occasionally some eggs and salmon) at the moment and have the feeling that it helps with the inflammation on my skin. What still really bothers me is the fat around my legs and that I seem to not lose any weight regardless of what I am doing as well as the hair on my face. I am eating well (all very nutritious and organic food) as well as not too little or too much food. I am worried that I damaged my metabolism because thanks to your interview at the Melissa Ambrosini show I know now that cutting out carbs lowers your T3. Am I on the right track and just need to give my body more time to heal? Or could there be any other possible explanation? Some more infromation: An extensive hormonal test was done at the endocrinologist in Germany in 2015 (6 months after I stopped taking pill) and in 2016 (1,5 years after taking the pill). All has been fine according to my doctor. I had also an ACTH test performed since 17-OHP was slightly elevated with 1,38, but it came back normal. From 2015 to 2016 my T3 level dropped from 3.2 to 2.3, which I am not sure if that is concerning. I could not find a normal range for DHEA-S level. Mine seems pretty high with 311 (in 2015) and 362 (in 2016), but I am not entirely sure. I am 28 years old (as I know it matters when it comes to DHEA). I could not have a test done in 2017 so I don't know where my hormones are at at the moment. Jocelyn: Hello, I recently heard you on a podcast and what you practice. I am 25 years old and suffering from the after affects of diagnosed achalasia. I have frequent heartburn and stomach inflammation. I have suffered from many cases after a hellar myotomy with hyponatremia. I am hoping to come here for help because my doctors don’t have any root cause answers. how can I set up a consultation with you?   Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have three questions today: 1) As I've gotten into my 40's, I noticed my eyelashes and eyebrows have gotten lighter and I have a hard time growing my eye brow hair out. I've also always noticed that my hair grows incredibly slow. Do you know why this is and what I can do to grow out my hair faster as well as my eyelashes/brows? 2) If I have to do a round of antibiotics, is there a protocol for ensuring that I dont get candida, UTI or a yeast infection, as a result? Is there a natural anti-biotic that I can take in place of Antibiotics for a sinus infection, such as Silver? 3) Can you recommend a protocol or supplements to improve my memory, as I've noticed lately that I have a hard time remember (short term). Sometimes I think its due to stress or overwhelm, but I'd like to know what you recommend to improve this. PS, Please, please, please tell me when your new book is coming out? Thanks for all you do- Jen  Josh: Dr. Cabral. I️ was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain spotted fever in 2015. I️ took doxycycline and was later cleared of any other co infections. But since then health has not went back to where it was. I️ suffer from fatigue weak and shacky muscles almost tremors and poor blood work. Any suggestions. Thanks for the work you do Jodie: Hello, I am 28 years old I wasn't having menstrual cycles for 4-5 years since 2013. So many possible causes: rapid weight loss I dropped 2 stone in my final year at university and maintained that for a year and then I started exercising heavily and became orthorexic- choosing to only eat foods that were considered healthy/ superfoods. My gut health has been so bad since this miserable period in my life. In 2016 I tried to eat more and gain weight to see if my cycle would return but had no luck, so my doctors told me I may suffer with infertility in the long run so I should consider trying for a baby if this is something I wanted. I was terrified of being infertile so I followed their advice and opted to try fertility treatment to fall pregnant. In August I fell pregnant. My pregnancy has been ok, I've had some skin issues (rashes and spots on my face and legs), water retention, brain fog and extremely uncomfortable stomach issues ( gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhoea). I know I cannot do much in terms of rebalancing and detoxing during pregnancy but in 2 months time when my baby is here I'd love to fix my health once and for all. I know this is a silly question, but where should I start and what can I do now to help reduce the symptoms?

810: Heal Your Gut & Health Using This Sensitive Gut Guide (WW)

It's hard to imagine a scenario where looking at proper gut function, digestion, and absorption of nutrition wouldn't come into play... After all, even if you're eating a great diet what truly matters in the long-run is if your cells are getting that nutrition... And, for people with weak digestive systems that may have been compromised by antibiotics, alcohol, birth control, ibuprofen, stress, poor food combining, etc. they may be on the road to slowly declining in both mental and physical health due to improper absorption of nutrients...

809: How to Eliminate Inflammation from Food Sensitivity Reactions (TWT)

One of the fastest ways to heal the body is to eliminate the stressors that are currently holding it back from rejuvenating itself... One of the first stressors that must be removed is the eating of foods that your body is sensitive to... The reason for this is that food sensitivities (or allergies) cause an inflammatory immune response every time they are eaten... Overtime, this greatly wears down the body's defenses and leads to greater dis-ease in the body and mind...

807: Skin Supplements, Intestinal Cleanse, Food Testing Options, Pins & Needles While Sleeping, Fix Your Gut (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Jenett: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am interested in what supplements you would recommend to help keep the skin more youthful. I heard a combination of collagen, Omega 3's and a good probiotic, would help. Would you agree? Can you recommend good brands for these and any other supplements you might recommend? Thanks, Jenett   Dr. Dianne: Hello, I am so thankful to have been connected to Dr. Cabral and enjoy his daily podcasts. I have been through two years of tests and products to resolve Chronic GI issues without significant results until beginning with products suggested by Dr. Cabral. My Questions are in relation to directions of usage as follows; Intestinal Formula #1 states; "Start with 1 capsule daily. Increase by 1each day until desired effect." Question: Once desired effect is achieved do you discontinue use (until needed) or continue with 1/day? Intestinal Formula #2. Is the intension to continue with the directions until the entire container is gone or until a specific result occurs. Intestinal Cleanse. Is this something that can be utilized during a average work schedule or is it a cleanse in which your will need consistent access to the bathroom. Thank you, DiAnne   Steve: “Any Lab Test Now” has food sensitivity tests ranging up to around 1 grand. Is this worth it or is there a better way? Thanks, Steve Lisa: Hi Stephen I often get pins and needles, cramping and dead legs. I am female, 34 and around 50kg/5’ 4. I do an office based job so I am sat down for most of the day, but I live in London and so I walk a lot everyday. I often find I wake up in the night with a dead leg or an arm that has gone to sleep and I can’t move - I need to physically lift it up to try and get some blood back into it. Could this be due to a magnesium deficiency? Thanks for all your invaluable advice in these podcasts - keep up the good work! Lisa   Cassi: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am trying desperately to heal my gut, but I feel like I keep taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back. I did your Candida protocol about a year ago and felt fantastic for around 6 months. Then I wanted to continue to the healing so tried turmuric - I was so bloated for about 2 weeks it was awful. Once I got back to "normal" I tried drinking apple cider vinegar with water in the mornings and again my stomach got extremely exacerbated and I had to do a liquid diet for a day and restrict my diet to get back to normal. The same process repeated when I started taking probiotics (I didn't buy your brand but a well known quality one). Now I'm back to being very constipated, bloated, gassy and miserable after every meal again. I did see a NP and did a stool test, they said I had SIBO and for about 2 months took a digestive enzyme w/ meals and Biocin for 4 weeks. I felt like this did nothing whatsoever to help. Do you have any next steps recommendations? I am thinking about going strictly on youe sensitive food diet plan or a SIBO specific plan, but not sure if that's what I should try next. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

806: Help is Here, Healthy Baby, Sugar in Shake, Pyrolles, Clean Gut Probiotic, Enlarged Thyroid, SIBO Answer, Antitrypsin Deficiency (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Chrystelle: Hi Stephen, I heard your podcast & I thought "finally! Someone that can help me!" I want to give you the full story (so you have all of the facts) but the short version so I don't write a story book. So here goes - I had a milk allergy as a child. I couldn't drink it without getting sick and sometimes leading to bronchitis. Milk was reintroduced back in my diet in my early years & I was told I had outgrown the allergy. I drank milk for another 20 years before realising it doesn't agree with me. It bloats and constipates me. And I was probably bloated for 20 years. I also had asthma and a child and plenty of medication to go along with it. I also took adhd medication at the age of 14 until o refused to keep taking it. Since then, I have taken the pill, I have had 3 Caesarean's, a d&c because of a missed miscarriage, a breast reduction & wisdom teeth removed surgically. So again, plenty of medication. Over two years ago I entered a body building competition. Where I reached about 8-10% body fat. I was eating more than most in the same position but I was also eating 175g of protein a day in every form, shakes, bars, meat, canned fish. I ate a lot more rubbish that I usually would. I was training up to 8 times a week. I started noticing plenty of digestive issues after the comp. I'm unsure if they were caused by the prep or if they came back as I introduced foods that I had cut out. To help, I cut out gluten, dairy and rice. It seemed to help but as time went on, I started to react to more and more foods. I would get bloated or more commonly headaches, pimples on my facd, get tired and change of mood. I tried cutting out all grains, sugar and starchy carbs. Doing this I lost weight & the boating and headaches stopped but then I became constipated and not much energy and not sleeping well. I have had inconsistent bowel movements for as long as I can remember. I have drank alcohol but very rarely these days & also look drugs as a teenager. Last year I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome by my gp. Determined to find out why (the doctors aren't much help) I did my own research and I thought I might have candida overgrowth. I tried the candida diet which did not help. I gained weight and felt awful and reacted to more foods. Wow as I write all of this down, I realise I have put my body through a lot! But I just want to feel good again. I would love consistent moods, energy & no more headaches and bloating. I hope you can help me figure out my dishes, heal my body and point me in the right direction. Kind Regards, Chrystelle Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband and I are healthy 27 year olds who want to try for a baby soon. Do you have any tips (aside from what you have given in previous podcasts of which I will check) on a healthy pregnancy? I’m doing the 14 day Cabral Detox before we try and wondered if that is a wise choice. In my mind, I’m removing toxins and preparing a healthy place for our baby to grow. I’m a petite 119 lb woman and I hope I can do the right things to strengthen myself in the process and eventually for giving birth. Is there a book you could recommend that tracks what to be mindful of each month to pursue an ideal health for my family and I? Thank you so much for all you do! Melissa:Hi Team, I started day 1 of the 7-week detox today. I'm curious about sugar being listed as "other" ingredients. If the whole point is to reset liver and avoid sugary fruits to help lose weight, why is this an ingredient in the protein powder? Thank you, Mel Jess: Hi dr Cabral, I can’t thank you enough for you’re generosity in sharing your wealth of knowledge! I heard you on Melissa ambrossini’s podcast and listen to you every day in the car! Was hoping you could shed some light on the topic of food addiction and practical ways to beat it? OR pyrolles, undermethylation and copper/zinc imbalance which I have recently been diagnosed with. Would love to hear your thoughts on how to overcome these imbalances as I know a major overhaul of my diet and lifestyle is necessary. Thanks again, Jess Bill: Hi Dr Cabral, Long time listener, big fan of the show. What are your recommendations for supplements on your website to take if I can’t afford the candida protocol at this time? Thanks! Robert: Dr. Cabral, First of all, I enjoy your podcast. I'd like to leave some general feedback about the podcast sound. Lately the podcast is only on the left channel, nothing from the right. I randomly choose an older podcast, and it didn't have this problem. So, please adjust your equipment so we can enjoy the podcast in both ears. Thank you. Rosie: Hi Dr Cabral, I have been told I have an enlarged thyroid by my past few primary care physicians. Every year I end up taking a blood test to check my thyroid levels as well as an ultrasound to make sure there aren’t any growths. My tests always come back normal and I am always told just to continue to keep an eye on it. Is this something I should be concerned about or do some people just happen to have a larger than normal thyroid? I would like to find out what the root cause of this could be. I’m 36 years old and pretty healthy, no major health issues. I would appreciate any information/advice you could give me! Kathryn: Hi Stephen, A friend turned me onto your podcasts and I've been listening to many episodes and then decided to do a search of every episode you mention SIBO and have been going through those. I've had ongoing digestive issues for 6 years now. At one point I couldn't eat anything without getting sick. I changed my diet to a whole food plant-based lifestyle (no animal product at all except for honey occasionally with my oatmeal) and that helped tremendously but I still have episodes about 1 time a week or so. I've done an ALCAT food sensitivity test and stay away from all foods that cause a severe or moderate reaction but still occasionally eat the mild reaction foods in very small quantities, those don't seem to be a problem. I've had a organic acids test done recommended by my naturopath which showed SIBO and candida overgrowth. That was a year ago, since I was training heavily for an Ironman we decided to go the route of fixing some of the other problems like nutrition deficiencies and thyroid problems. Right now I take a vitamin D supplement, Vitamin B12 complex liquid, I just started Iron, and I've been taking Saint John's wert and HPA adapt for over 6 months now. I am again heavy into ironman training with my race being a little less than 3 months away, April 28th. I'm still having symptoms almost once a week where I just feel like my body is not digesting the food and it just sits there until I become nauseous or I have diarrhea. through listening to your podcast I've heard you say over and over again to use the Candida and bacterial protocol and I'm considering it. Should I wait until after the Ironman since its a 12 week protocol and I have to eat certain foods during training to sustain my workouts? my workouts are about 4-6 hour bike rides and 2-4 hour runs on the weekend totaling about 12-17 hours of endurance training a week. Thank you for all your information you provide. I'll be bringing you up at my next appoint with my naturopath as she uses the same supplements you do. Thank You, Kathryn Lauren: I have a question about my 60 year old mother. She has recently been diagnosed with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. They found a spot on her lungs and are telling her its emphysema. She has never smoked. She was around her Nana who was a smoker but that was when younger and only when they visited her weekly. Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency is said to be a genetic disorder but I didn't know if its 'turned on' by inflammation. Is this something she can take care of with diet? She has had asthma for years, steroids and many breathing treatments multiple times a year. She also has been on depression pills for at least 25 years and fibromyalgia for 20 years. She also only has bowel movements a few times a week. She has the symptoms of parasites and candida (low appetite nauseous and high sugar cravings). I would like her to do the OAT test. Wondering what your suggestion is and what you know about Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. Thank you!

804: Harvard's 4 Most Important Types of Exercise (TT)

Although I truly believe those working in the field have a huge advantage over those studying exercise physiology in a controlled lab environment, every once in awhile I come across some research that we can all agree upon... Usually those studies revolve around foundational exercise programming that every human should be following... I also believe that one of the reasons why people are getting injured more than ever or completely burning out their adrenals & thyroid (HPTA Axis) is because they've lost sight of what a balanced workout program looks like in the first place... On today's #CabralConcept 804 I want to share with you a letter written by Harvard University on the 4 most important types of exercise you should be following for best results - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/804 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

802: The Mounting Evidence Against Eating Meat? (TWT)

Today's topic is no doubt going to raise a few eyebrows, ruffle a few feathers, and have a few people seeing red, but... I ask if that is your initial reaction without first hearing the research what is your allegiance to eating meat? And, in today's podcast I'm not actually telling you not to eat any meat, but I do find it interesting when a research study with thousands of people in it provides some telling data why can't we listen first? Remember, "I have no dog in the race" and my #1 and only priority is helping people (and myself & family) live the longest healthiest lives they can...

I have to admit that at one point in my life I was searching deeply for the answers on how to remove this human condition we refer to as "suffering..."

800: Affordable Detox, Gluten Opinions, Weak Digestion, Chronic Yeast, Adrenal Testing, Hormone Therapy, Skin Removal Surgery (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Courtnie: Hi my name is Courtnie and I was just wondering if there was any other detoxes you could recommend to me? I’m having a problem with my bloating and I would love more than anything to do your detox but unfortunately I just can not afford it anytime soon. So if there are any cheaper brands that could help me in the mean time, I would really appreciate any suggestions you may have! Thank you guys so much for your help and all of your hard work! Maya: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast, and value your opinion and expertise very much. I was wondering what your thoughts are on gluten.. is it good or bad for our (gut) health? I’ve read so many conflicting studies and articles, and I just don’t know what to believe. I would love to know your thoughts. Thanks so much for all you do! Ameliah:  Dr. Cabral I need help. I found you through the elite man podcast my significant other listens to. I love your podcast and I see a naturopathic doctor where I live. My health has been in a really bad place the past 2 years or so. This time last year I went to my Pcp for chronic chest pain and she told me it was my stomach. I tested positive for h. Pylori. Did a strict 2 week regimen of antibiotics twice a day and an ulcer preventive. Went back tested again it was negative. About a week later I woke up with the worst stomach ache of my life and chest was burning so I went back and they put me on a PPI. I took it everyday for 10 months. Knowing I didn't want to be on medicine I tried coming off by myself several times over the course of the 10 months. The Pcp had no intention of helping me get off the meds and actually increased my dosage after 6 months because I went back with the complaint of something feeling stuck in my throat. She diagnosed me with globous sensation and ordered me to get scoped by a GI. I was really scared and have been suffering panic attacks during this entire process and didn't want to see the GI. So the Pcp wouldn't refill my prescription for the PPI and actually dismissed me from the practice. That's when I found the naturopathic doctor this past December and followed her protocol for getting off PPIs. Since I went cold turkey off them I suffered intense symptoms that mainly resided in my throat. My throat felt so strained and made it hard to swallow. I lost 7lbs in 5 weeks from not being able to eat without discomfort. The naturopath put me on zinc carnosine and panplex 2 which has helped a lot. But since December she's only did Amma therapy and ordered a blood test. Her suspicion is leaky gut. But she seems extremely puzzled by my throat. I've eliminated all gluten and dairy the past 6 weeks as doing elimination diets I'm sure I'm sensitive too. I haven't ate meat for almost 2 years . My stomach doesn't hurt I pass normal bowel movements everyday that are very clean. My lymph nodes under my chin constantly feel swollen. My extremities tingle I'm always fatigued. My heart beat accelerates from walking so I haven't been able to work out for months which was a big part of my daily life. I feel lost,hopeless, and desperate. I'm a mother to a beautiful 4 year old and I can barely get through my days for myself. All I drink is tea,water,and fresh juices. I live off fruits vegetables and grains. I don't understand why I'm not healthy I'm 28 years old. Please help me. Shawnna: I have been dealing with chronic yeast infections for over 8 yrs. I've tried to get rid of them myself, and many times I've broke down and taken fungal medications, only for it to return within 2 months. I have also been diagnosed with seborreheic dermatitis, which is frustrating by itself. I heard your podcast #725 on Candida overgrowth.. I loved it! I'm hoping I will finally be able to get rid of the yeast problems I have been dealing with and feel normal again. Can I go ahead and order the protocol without getting the organic acids test? Christina: Dear Dr. Cabral, I live in Germany and I am a really big fan of yours, I listen to your podcast religiously. On episode 730 you answered a question that 1 to 1 translates to my situation. I was on a detox diet for 4 months and I haven't had a migraine ever since. I used to have them every week. My ND had me test everything except for adrenal hormones. During the diet I developed dry skin and and dry eye symptoms and it hasn't gotten better. I looked up fat absorption issues and I definitely have those so i am going to get an enzyme. If I do have adrenal fatigue what would I need to do to get better? Thanks a million! Dan: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for all that you do. You are truly changing the world. I am a 27-year-old male and former collegiate wrestler. I have recently become hypothyroid and have extremely low Testosterone. I have been working with a functional medicine doctor who has tested my blood for all deficiencies related to thyroid (Vitamin D, Selenium, Zinc etc.). I also had a CDSA 2.0 stool test, SIBO saliva test, and food sensitivities test. I am still waiting for my adrenal test results. Everything has come back completely normal except that I was slightly low on vitamin D so I immediately began supplementing. I also take a comprehensive multivitamin, fish oil, and curcumin. I have not done any type of hormone therapy yet and I would really like to avoid it if possible. I am desperate to find the root cause and I'm not sure what to do next. Please help. Thank you so much! Mary: Hi Dr Cabral! About 4 years ago, I under went bariatric surgery. The procedure was successful and I lost 180 pounds. I plateaued about a year and a a half ago and have maintained my current weight of 180 lbs. As a result of the procedure, I have some quite a lot of excess skin. I've started the process of looking into plastic surgery to remove the skin. The procedure is costly and the doctors have advised me to be at a weight I am happy with before going through it. I wondering if there is way to know what an ideal weight would be for myself. I've always had a goal of being 160-150 lbs in mind but assumed due to the excess weight to my skin I may not be able to achieve that number unless its removed. Is there a way to figure out what an ideal weight would be for myself before I under go plastic surgery? And if so, which one of you test would you recommend running for me to jump start the process of trying to loose what I need to hit that number. I am 30 year old female, 5'7' and 180 lbs. I would consider myself pretty active. I walk 4 miles a day. I strength train three time a week and focus on cardio 2 times a week. I still monitor and mindful of my eating habits.

799: California Trees, Choosing Supplements, Dizzy, Rib Pain, Mouth Rash, Low Hormones, Central Serous Retinopathy, Supplement Timing (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Lance: Hi Dr. Cabral, the more I pick your brain with these questions the deeper I research into whether your information is correct. This opens all sorts of doors! I have not been disappointed. My wife and I have the opportunity to expand our house and because of this, I get to recreate our yard. I am always looking to support my family's health/well-being as well as searching to minimize the cost of nutrition. I live in Central California and have plenty of great weather for planting and growing fruit/nut trees. My busy schedule does not allow me to garden but I could tend to trees. I have been asking people what type of trees they would plant. So my question to you is...if you lived in California, had limited space and was able to plant max 5 trees, which ones would you pick? Keep in mind, you would be using these trees for nutritional purposes. Patrick: I started taking supplements to try and lower my blood sugar. I take others like HCL to help with digestion and even others for gut health or general wellness. Like many listeners, I find that I'm suddenly taking A LOT of supplements and keep hearing about new ones that would be beneficial. How do we know which to take long term, which to take short term and when to stop taking certain ones? Thanks! Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral! First off, thank you for everything you do. Your advice and podcast lessons are priceless. My question is regarding my boyfriend's spine. In high school he played competitive hockey and endured 5 concussions and also broke his neck (the C4). Three years ago he was in a car accident and had suffered severe whiplash and another concussion. These injuries have taken place over the last decade and immediate treatment, such as physio did not happen. Over the last month he has changed his lifestyle by cutting out all alcohol and beginning to lift weights again. He instantly started to get severe dizziness, inability to focus his eyesight, intense head aches, as well as nausea and loose stool. He has since been diagnosed with Cervical Vertigo and he is starting his sessions with a chiropractor next week. He has a high stress job and also has a hard time relaxing the mind before bed and high anxiety to the point his heart rate speeds up and says that his pounding heart can turn painful. He has terrible posture and comments on his weak and painful lower back, and I have noticed considerable muscle mass decrease in his legs. I've been giving him Natural Calm before bed every night, trying to get him to cut down on caffeine, and from your description, he has a Vata body type. What are your recommendations on his healing journey in terms of rehab exercises or diet? He thinks he will be this way forever and I just want him to not be in pain or a stressful state all the time, and live a long healthy life. Thank you for your help!! Angela May: Hi Dr. Cabral, Love your podcasts and thought I would take this opportunity to tell you to keep doing what you are doing. You are amazingly knowledgable and I appreciate your easy to apply tips and information and for that I am grateful. Without taking up too much of your time... I have had a dull pain in my upper left abdominal quadrant just under the lower rib. When I palpate under the rib, there is a mass that I can feel that is tender. I've had it checked with the physician a few times who states that it is muscular and has ordered a chest x-ray I'm thinking to ease my worry. Without having to go this route, could there be other reasons for the pain here? For some background, this dull pain initially started when I was pregnant with my son almost 6 years ago. When he was in my belly, he would "put his foot there" and I would gently nudge it aside. The pain has come and gone so I've left it to it being a muscular problem, but for the last 3 months, it hasn't gone away. I changed sides on the bed thinking it could be my sleeping position, I've stretched it over and over again and before it would subside. No change in appetite, or BM but the dull ache I've noticed is more prominent during my ovulation (day 1-12). Not sure of the pattern, or if it is hormonal (I'm 42). I'm regular, not on any pills and generally healthy otherwise. Blood work done recently with functional medicine practitioner who states that my liver could be compromised but nothing significant, more proactive in intervention (dandilion, milk thistle, etc) ... Any recommendations or suggestions I do welcome. Thank you. Lily: I’ve been listening to Dr. Cabral’s podcasts recently due to a rash I’ve had around my mouth for about 10 months now. I’ve tried a lot of different things (vegan and gluten free diet, Doterra detox, medicated cream, etc.) and the only thing that’s worked is the cream. The problem is: as soon as I stop taking the cream for a few days, the rash begins to reappear. I know it must be unhealthy to use a medicated cream for as long as I have so I really want to find a way to heal the rash once and for all! From what I’ve gathered by listening to podcasts it sounds like I should do the Dr. Cabral detox, do a food sensitivity test, or both? I’m 24 years old and I’ve had a long history (It has been on and off since I was about 10 or so?) of eczema and other skin rashes such as my current one. I eat very clean and minimally processed foods. Please give me some advice on what you recommend. Paula: Hi Dr. Cabral, I just got my hormone levels checked and they're all lower than those of most 90-year-olds (except cortisol, which is slightly lower than average). I'm 27. Slight hypothyroidism. Starting hormone replacement. I've also had a couple foot fractures this year (from minor things), and I'm worried I have osteopenia/porosis. Both of these issues are likely due to the eating disorder I had for several years. I also have acne, bloating, & foot fungus - so I'm trying candida cleanses, and am SURE I have leaky gut. I just ordered your HTMA & heavy metal detox kit (another test said my metals are high). Been eating a clean vegan diet mostly free of grains & foods I learned I'm sensitive to. Main questions: 1.) How REVERSIBLE are issues like osteoporosis & severely low hormones at age 27? (I'm worried my body is falling apart/permanently damaged.) 2.) WHAT CAN I EAT without causing more damage/food sensitivities? 3.) Is there any ORDER I should do all of these things, in order to best heal my body? PLEASE answer all you can - I know it will help others, and after gong to several practitioners that won't listen/don't get it, you're my main hope! THANK YOU for all you do. David: Hello from Australia I really enjoy your podcast and gain plenty of useful information from it. Thank you very much. I have a health question which I am happy for you to share if you wish. I am 36 years old and have suffered from an eye condition called central serous retinopathy (CSR) for the past 12 months. Simply put, it is when a blood vessel bursts in the back of my retina and the fluid leaks into my retina causing blurred and dulled vision in that part of the eye. My eye is unable to drain the fluid faster than it enters my retina. It is incredibly hard to read and function as my sight has become so impaired. Each time I think it is improving it seems to happen again and I end up back at square one. I have had repeated attacks in both my left and right eyes. I have seen an eye specialist and he basically says only time can heal or I can have laser surgery to fuse the leak. Laser surgery means that I will lose that part of my sight forever but I am told that I shouldn't notice it. The other problem with laser surgery is that it doesn't stop the cause of my condition and there is nothing to say that the blood vessels in my retina won't burst again the next day and I am back where I started. The specialist tells me that the condition can be caused from high cortisol levels and is often linked to steroid use and stress. I have used a topical steroid for a contact dermatitis I used to have on my hands but I have cleared this dermatitis since switching to a mostly (90%) plant based diet and I have not used any topical steroids since October but my eyes don't seem to have improved. I have received no advice re nutrition or supplements or any other testing that I should have done or could do. Do you have any suggestions? Kind regards, David Judy: When is the best time of day to take my vitamin D and vegan omega 3 supplements? And are they best on an empty stomach or with a meal?

796: How to Finally Get Rid of Candida & Bacterial Overgrowth (CBO Protocol) (WW)

If you're at a loss for how to get well, keep the weight off, or live longer the very first place I recommend looking into is your overall gut health... And, you may very well be surprised to find that the majority of people who are struggling with some type of body, mind, or health issue have a degree of gut dysbiosis... This means that their intestinal tract has some type of over growth of yeast or fungus (Candida) or bacterial overgrowth (SIBO, C. Diff, etc.), or both... This can be lab tested and verified or you can listen to your body and your symptoms and choose to rebalance your gut without further Functional Medicine testing... On today's #CabralConcept 796 I will lay out all your options, what your symptoms of dis-ease may feel like, and then how to finally get rid of candida and bacterial overgrowth for good - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/796 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

793: Ayurvedic Internship, Upcoming Health Coaching Certification, Candida Bloodwork, PANS, 12 Week Candida Protocol, Under Eye Circles, Premature Ejaculation (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Chelsea: Dear Dr Stephen, Hi there, I'm Chelsea and I'm currently a final year medical student at the University of Otago. Next year as our intern year we are required to spend 6 weeks at a clinic or a hospital of our choosing as apart of our course. I heard your podcast on the Melissa Ambrosini show and it really resonated with me. I am very interested to learn about the different healing modalities other than Western medicine and I believe that this make me a better a medical practitioner in the future. I see a lot of cases at the hospital where Western medicine is making people sicker instead better and I know there is another way. I would absolutely love to spend around 6 weeks with you and your clinic if that is possible. I am fascinated by everything you do at your clinic but particularly in the Ayurvedic medicine and how you treat people according to their body types. Please feel free to ask me any questions or concerns you have. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Warm Regards, Chelsea.   Leslie: Hello Stephen, I am someone who has been investigating and practicing health and wellness for many, many years. I am a composer who also uses sound and voice to support clients. (I coach voices for all occasions, from public speaking to personal health and therapeutic purposes.). As a coach and practitioner— and physical trainer (I have been a certified yoga teacher for over 15 years), I have been thinking about getting a certification as a coach for wellness— body/mind/spirit to integrate with voicework. Hearing you speak recently on a podcast, I resonate deeply with both your history and mindset. I thought I heard you share that you have a coaching program... I am curious if this is true? I am based in Spain until July, but may be spending time in Cambridge until for a month or so in August. I am not sure if you are in town then, but I would Love to meet you!!! Thank you, Leslie Marcela: Hello I recently listened to your podcast abut Candida. I am so lost I have some of the symptoms you been describing and have had a numerous of blood works done with all of them showing inflammation and blood white count low, I get the bloating, joint and muscle aches brain fog and irritation. I am not sure where to begin. Is there a way for you to take a look at my blood work. Please help. Gabrielle: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you so much for all you do! I love your podcasts I have become some what addicted to all the information you share ! I have a few questions I hope that's not too much! I have a 7 year old daughter who was recently diagnosed with PANS her Mycoplasma was not active but showed higher numbers and she tested positive for only band41 for Lyme and often has cold sores. We have done stool tests blood work and an organic acid test. Acording to our bio med Dr she has a "small bacterial overgrowth" which he said we would deal with in the future??? She is currently on antibiotics now 65 days and I really don't want to continue her down this road. She also takes coq10 lysine 3thorne multis vit c Nordic nats omega 3 meltaonin for bed and digestive enzymes when eating protein. I really want to remove the antibiotics but it seems every time we remove them within 3 days her motor tics aggression sleep disturbances etc are back full force what should we do next ? Thank you again so much !!! Melissa: Hi Stephen, I just listened to your podcast about candida and wanted to learn more information about it so... im here. :) I noticed online you sell a package that is onsale right now for candida and yeast kill off to get back to healthy stages... Is this going to help me get back to normal gut health in 3 months? I know you don't quite know my status of my gut... and neither do i quite frankly, but I do know its to the point now where almost every time i eat i am either in pain or really gasey/bloaty. I just really want to make sure if im investing into this package, it will help me. I am currently unemployed and feel helpless with my issues... all doctors (like you said) think i just have IBS... but i know its alot deeper than just that. Thanks for your time, Melissa   Melodie: Hello Stephen! The vessels inside my nose are extremely dilated. It causes me to bleed easily, especially when I get too much sun. They also are dilated outside which has me dealing with rosacea from time to time (I've managed to get rid of redness naturally). Plus, I have very dark circles (brown / purple) under my eyes. People say it's genetics (hello Portuguese genes) and there's nothing to do about it. But, I'm wondering if all of this isn't related. Also, in your previous shows, you said to look for gut issues. So my question is : could dark circles and dilated vessels in the face be related to digestive system issues? Muito obrigada! Melodie  Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am wondering if there are any imbalances that could be the cause and or any natural ways to help with premature ejaculation. It is a subject that people don't talk about and so it is rather an embarrassing question. However, I have just been so curious if there are any natural ways to improve this that you would know of.

792: Peeling Nails, European Supplements, New Constipation Cause, Pregnancy Virus, Arginine Foods, The SIBO Cycle, Female Bruising (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Louise: Dr. Cabral. I am so very grateful to have found you. You and your team do outstanding work, from your clinical expertise, to your podcasts, to your excellently laid-out website and user-friendly instructions for treatment protocols. I am starting my 7-day detox and will continue on with your candida protocol. Here is my question: I tend to have soft, peeling fingernails that break easily. What do you think about collagen, silica, and biotin supplementation? Ruchi: Hi, I am looking for children candida and bacterial overgrowth protocol for my son. My 6 year old son is suspected to have candida yeast overgrowth and based on reviews from other moms, I am hoping that your protocol will help him. I am based in Netherlands and may not be allowed products from US. Do you have any branch in Europe from where we can order? Please advice. Thank you. Kind regards, Ruchi Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have struggled with constipation for years now, and after trying several protocols, elimination diets, x-rays, etc. I still can't figure out the root cause. My question is this: Can a tight hip flexor or abdominal muscle impair digestive function? When I palpate my lower left quadrant, it feels dense and ropey, and I can't tell if I am feeling a strained muscle or part of the sigmoid colon. Thanks so much for any help you can provide! I love your podcast. I've learned so much and continue to learn more each day. Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for answering my question on HSVII and the CBO protocol. I am early in my 2nd pregnancy and wondering if the high/full spectrum vitamin C, full spectrum magnesium and reishi powder are safe throughout pregnancy. I take your Orthomolecular/Innate Iron prenatal combo. If so, at what dosages? Also after a emergency cesarean first pregnancy I have contemplated a planned cesarean this go around (never thought I’d say that, as I wanted a natural birth) however I also have a fear of possible outbreak the time of birth. Any recommendations for delivery? OB wanted me on valtrex 2 weeks before delivery which I never took because my baby came a month early. Less important, but curious, if the virus can be eradicated why would arginine foods still sometimes trigger it? Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral! Accounting to the Arginine / Lysine List on episode 273 someone with HSVII should also avoid blueberries? This is one of the foods that i have every day in my smoothie as one of your high recommendations. Pumpkin seeds are another healthy go-to I have a couple times a week and I even opt for the sprouted pumpkin seeds. Any suggestions? Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral! I have a question linking the gut, SIBO and immunity. Stool tests have shown that I have ‘nil’ lactobacilli and bifidobacterium. I also have a leaky gut (lactulose recovery 1.5% and mannitol recovery 19.6%) and an immune deficiency (igG subset deficiency). My question is - how do I restore balance in my gut when I don’t seem to tolerate any probiotics due to relapsing SIBO (I’ve tried many). The only way I seem to keep SIBO in check is to stay on maintenance herbal protocols, prokinetics and strict(ish) diet. I know this isn’t helping to heal the gut though ....yet all my symptoms (eg stomach spasms, nausea etc) return when I try to broaden diet or introduce probiotics, fermented foods etc. It’s a vicious cycle. How would you suggest moving forward to heal the gut? Andrew: Thank you so much for everything you do for us and humanity. You are an amazing soul. Quick question for you regarding a friend of mine. She bruises extremely easy all over and has pretty severe menstrual cycles. No birth control pretty healthy. I suggested she take the adrenal + hormone lab. She also was recently on acutain for acne until I was finally able to get her to question it enough to where she ended up stopping at less than a month of use. Any advice is much appreciated.

786: Hashimoto's Test, Alcohol Sensitivity, Nutritional Programs, RA Triggers, Male Acne (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Tania: Hello Stephen, I have been diagnosed with Hashimotos and was wondering what test is the best one to take from your lab to help me lead a healthier life and get off Synthroid for good ? I am taking different Synthroid doses on alternate days and still feel tired and have cold feet and hands. I am hoping you can help me. Regards, Tania  Joyce: Thank you so much for all you do! I LOVE listening to your Pod-casts and I do your daily protocol daily! I also drop Vit D and occasional your CBD oil! I exercise daily during the week and eat clean! I generally feel awesome !! ( I am in my 50’s, some say I look like 40’s J ) Anyway in the past few years I have been become less and less tolerant to alcohol ( 1 glass a night not every night) and party occasions 2 glasses. Most times I drink , I will wake up at 2am with a bad headache, eye and neck ache which will last 24 hours no matter what I do.! Is it possible that I have developed an alcohol sensitivity ? I have really stopped drinking because of this, however when I do have the occasional glass I really do pay a price…. Your thoughts  Michelle: Hello! I just wanted to ask a quick question regarding nutritional programs. I recently received my holistic nutritionist certification and I am looking to expand that. I was wondering if there are programs or certifications for nutrition and holistic health in general that you think are most beneficial. Thank you so much! Denise: I know you said that some people can not get better because they hold on to anger. Do you think it could be a problem with EBV. I have RA and I think it was triggered by EBV. When I get stressed I think it might be triggered. I was on AIP for two years and was doing OK and slowly improving. Then under a stressful situation I had the RA triggered again. Now I am having a problem stopping the reaction. If I try to alkaline my diet it help some. I am still having inflamtion problems. I am also very cold all of the time then my body temperature shots up and wakes me up My lymphatic system does not seem to be working well. If you have any advice please let me know. I love your podcasts and lessen all time hoping to figure it out. I have tried to work with some functional medicine people and had some testing done but it did not help much. Then when I added sunflower oil and vitamin B and did see some improvement. My hand joints are very deformed is there anything I can do to stop it from getting worse. I have a lot of pain in them now. Can you tell me why they continue to become deformed. Please help your number one fan.Denise  JD: Hey Dr. Cabral, I just started listening to this podcast at the beginning of this year. I love it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. So I’m a 31 year old male and I have been getting pimples under my skin for for a while now in places like my jaw line and behind my ears on the side of my nose. Soon as i try to pop them they swell up to double the size. Sometimes it feels like I’m walking around with a golf ball attached to my chin. I also wash my face once a day. Just hoping you could give me a few reasons why it happens and maybe how to stop them.

785: Persistent Acne, Speed Up Digestion, Overnight Detox, High Prolactin, Lean Midsection, JRA Solution (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Louis: Dr. Cabral, thank you for everything that you do. You are truly amazing. I have an issue and I am looking for some guidance. For the past 8 years I've been dealing with acne, and I can't get rid of it. I also was diagnosed with colitis when I was 10 but have for the most part gotten that under control. Now, my acne goes away when I'm on vacation, but it always comes back when I'm home. Here is the kicker though... I'm a functional medicine practitioner. I've ran half a dozen tests on myself. I've rebalanced my hormones, got rid of parasites, cleared infections and detoxed heavy metals (I had major mercury toxicity), and yet my acne still persists. I even got implants in my teeth that had root canals because doctor Mercola said that he had acne up until he was 40 and it didn't go away until he got his implants. Now, of course my skin has drastically improved over the years, but it is not clear. I am wondering what you would suggest? thank you, Louis Sharon : I have started committing to the 12 hour overnight fast you have discussed in your podcasts. Is there a anything you can recommend to help the body with digestion and detoxifying overnight? Jenn: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 33 year old female. I am wondering how to lower high prolactin levels? My levels are elevated slightly 35.7 ng/mL. My levels have been elevated for a few years but getting higher. I have hypothyroidism and am on medication (Synthroid). My menstrual cycles are very irregular and I have had bouts of major hair loss 3 times over the past 3 years. My LH and FSH were tested and normal (both 4.5 mIU/mL on day 2 of cycle). I am currently not trying to get pregnant but a bit worried for my future. I'd really like to find a natural approach to lower the prolactin level. Thank you!  Christine: Hi, I'm a non-standard PCOS woman (no polyps but have insulin resistance). Currently I take 1500 mg Metformin for this (I do not have diabetes), Cabral's activated daily ( as well as additional mtheylated B complex, zinc, vit d 5,000, VIt C, chlorella/spirulina, curcumin, folate 400mcg) and eat a fairly healthy diet cooking my own food lots of veggies and quality meats. I did the 3mo healthy gut protocol and sealed my gut, ending last month. I exercise 5-6 days per wk (pilates, HIIT's, a 20 min "long run", walks, strength train 3x/wk, ab focus on TVA). I am lean (18-19% body fat), lean/toned, probably an ecto/mesomorph blend body type and in excellent physical condition. I'm 41 years olds (mitochondria test came back as 33yrs body age) trying to conceive my 3rd child but have been experiencing multiple chemical pregnancies and miscarriages. I suspect I have high cortisol and some other hormone imbalances as I am lean and toned everywhere but my belly and have steadily gained 7-8lbs over a 3 month period while making dietary changes to stop this. I have a pouch and slight love handles. What lab test (or other recomendations) do you suggest that I do in order to lean out my midsection and see if any imbalances are contributing to my pregnancy troubles. Thank you!   Craig: My 7 year old daughter has had swollen joints for about the past 2 years. Her doctor tested her for JRA and the blood test came back negative. The swelling is in her wrists and ankles, but usually one side at a time. It doesn't keep her from doing things like gymnastics, soccer, basketball, etc., but I also know that she has a very high pain tolerance. We are going to Children's hospital in Los Angeles today for an appointment with a specialist, but I really want to pursue a more natural approach if possible. What tests would you recommend running as a good starting point? Would one or some of the 'Big 5' be a good place to start? Thank you for your help, I don't want my baby-girl to be in any kind of pain.   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/785 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

781: Should You Be Following a Low Lectin Diet? (TWT)

The new buzz around "lectins" has certainly taken the nutrition industry by storm, but is it all hype or is there some truth to it? The low-lectin diet asserts that it's the "sticky" proteins in most #plantbased foods that cause everything from intestinal discomfort to brain fog to leaky gut to auto-immune conditions... The question is are we looking at the wrong enemy in terms of foods, or is there something deeper going on within the gut that may cause lectins to be an issue in the first place?

779: The Starting Point, EMF Blocker, Dryness, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, International Skype Consults (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Jessica: Dear Dr Cabral, I have been listening to and learning from your podcast for quite awhile now and really enjoy it! I have a complicated health diagnosis right now that I was hoping you could weigh in on. We recently moved cross country and I need to find a new functional doctor. My last was excellent and after years of feeling ill and having odd symptoms she finally diagnosed me with Chronic Inflammatory reaponse Syndrome from mold toxicity. I had every positive test required for the diagnosis. I have MARCoNS in my sinuses at high levels which I am working on with a compounded colloidal silver spray and cholestyramine as well as GI detox. My thyroid is low functioning so I am on naturthroid. I had 4 children in seven years with hyperemesis gravidarum and no nutritional support so my labs all came back low and depleted for vitamins, minerals and electrolytes etc. Because the mold toxicity has gone on for so long my system is stressed on labs also. Everything from low adrenal function to low MsH levels and elevated liver enzymes, h.pylori, epstein barr and harmful gut bacteria. Progesterone is very low and estrogen a little low also. My inflammation levels are sky high and I take a ton of anti-inflammatory supplements just to function. I get horrible sinus pain and headaches and my body swells and retains water when the inflammation is higher. Regardless of taking large doses of functional brand magnesium and ionic magnesium as well as mineral salt soaks, I still maintain very low magnesium levels. Side effects of all these issues are random fevers, chronic constipation, brain fog and chronic fatigue levels as well as the inability to sleep well. The worst part is the horrible horrible mood swings, panic attacks, terror, ocd thinking cycles and nightmares. I did not have these before I became ill and my doctor was positive it was from the mold and inflammation. I take large amounts of turmeric, phenibut, and cbd oil. Sometimes it switches off like a light and I regain emotional balance and other times I stay that way for a long time. I have a family to care for and I cannot seem to turn this around. I eat low glycemic, no sugar, no dairy, low grains with lots of green vegetables. Id love to do the Dr. Cabral detox because my doctor said one of my issues is being unable to clear things from my system but I am allergic to stevia and dandelion both pretty severely so I have no idea how to go about throroughly detoxing. I can have monk fruit so I was put on Paradise Herbs greens powder to help support my system. I have a huge basket of top quality functional supplements that I take daily and still feel unable to do life. I also have about 20 lbs to lose and cannot seem to budge the weight no matter what I do. Thank you Dr. Cabral. All of my best to you and your family. Respectfully, Jessica Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, I noticed while on the Berkey filter website they have a product called WAVEEX for protection from mobile phone radiation and another product called Zeolite for removing heavy metals and body toxins. I was quite intrigued by these and wondered if you could share your thoughts on them? Thank you for one of (if not the best) health podcasts out there!  Donna: Dear Dr. Cabral, I am a 51 year old female and I don't think my body is properly absorbing water. In May 2017 I did the 7 day detox, June-Aug. the 90 day Gut protocol followed by your probiotic / healthy gut support. I eat a clean primal diet ( fruit, veg., nuts, seeds, good sourced meat, free range chicken/ / eggs), exercise with resistence 3-4 times a week. I take pharmaceutical grade fish oil, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, butter from grass fed cows, Vit. D drops, Pure vit. C powder, have been one month now on your daily support shake and fruit / veggie powder. I weigh 128, 5'6" and drink an average of 70 oz. of water daily from a Berkey. My skin is dry and even through the night my throat gets dry and I have to drink some water. When I raise my arms above my head and pinch the skin around my left breast, the skin collapses together before going back to normal. What might be blocking my body from proper water absorption? Also, when I do Core Twist I actually hear a sound when I inhale / exhale out of my mouth. It sounds echoey as what I would imagine someone might kind of sound like with wheezing, but I'm not wheezing. I haven't felt out of breath or had any restriction to breathing but it's as if there is something not clear in my lungs or chest? I have noticed this off and on for about two years and never hear it with cardio, resistance training, only core twists. A recent Thermography scan suggests there is thermal asymmetry in the left ethmoid sinus consistent with sinus dysfunction. Midline hyperthermia in the lower anterior neck suggestive of possible thyroid dysfunction, inflammation of both carotid arteries. And scattered muscular / myofascial hyperthermia throughout the upper back and periodontal inflammation in which a few months ago I had a root canal right before hearing a pod cast that you would have recommended against doing! What are your thoughts? Thank You So Much! Respectfully, "In It To Win It"   Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral, Im obsessed with all of your podcasts and the information available to us from you!! Thank you. I ve searched through your archives and cant seem to find anything about oxygen therapy. 2 questions... What are your thoughts on HBOT with regards to autism and when to implement the therapy if at all. Question 2, one of my biomedical facebook groups has really been into ozone water therapy. Im trying to do research and it doesn't have too much online in regards to safety, and how long to implement. I would really love to hear your opinion on drinking ozone water. (they say it gets rid of bacteria and h pylori in the gut) Thank you for your thoughts! Michelle  Jessica: Hi, I live in Australia and I am currently undergoing an intensive gut healing protocol. I was wondering if Dr Stephen Cabral offers one off skype consults? I was wanting to check in and get a second opinion on the protocol I am currently following and what other tools I could be implementing. I have blasto, very low bacteroides, heavy metals and mould issues. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

778: GI Health, FIR Sauna, ALS Diagnosis, European Food Tests, Juice Plus, Decrease Milk Supply, Private Consulting (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks so much for continuing to produce such helpful information and insight to healing and optimizing health. I listen to your podcast daily and have shared various episodes with family members whom I believe would benefit. My question is about GI health--I've been working with my naturopathic doctor to heal mild gut inflammation I began experiencing around this past Christmas. In addition, I've also been working with diet and supplementation (digestive enzymes, probiotic, aloe vera after meals to soothe gut, etc) to address improved gut motility to eliminate constipation and now have improved bowel regularity and volume (BM at least 1-2 times per day, Bristol scale type 3 or 4). This week I had an ultrasound with my OB/GYN to rule out concerns I had with pelvic pain; while the ultrasound was negative for gynocological concerns, the tech reported that the imaging process was made more difficult due to an "overabundance of stool". I'm confused about why I am otherwise not feeling constipated and having productive BM's--is it possible that my gut motility is adequate but I'm somehow not emptying my bowels completely or have buildup in my large intestine? Most every BM feels "complete". I look forward to your response and appreciate your time! Michael: I enjoy your podcast very much. I found out about you from the Food Heals podcast. I live in Ann Arbor, MI, and so far could not find an FIR Detox Sauna based on your recommendations. Before I buy anything, I'd like to try it with medical supervision. Could you help with some suggestions? Thanks. Jessica: Hi, I heard Dr Cabral on the Melissa Ambrosini podcast. Dr Cabral was inspiring to say the least. I'll get straight to the point. My father in law has recently been diagnosed with ALS. Is this something you can help with at your studio? We have confirmation from the neurologist, we have just been to see a naturopath and she is running some tests (to name a few: Hair trace mineral analysis, Magnesium serum levels, Zinc status test). From the podcast you seemed like the kind (only) person who could help. The MD doctors here just gave the diagnosis and said 'Go write your bucket list and live your best life for the next 2-5 years' WTF! After some research I have come to realise ALS is not some mystery disease but like all 'disease' just the body telling us that these are toxic things in there affecting our system. We are in Australia, willing to travel! Can you help or lead us in the right direction? Jess Bruno: Hi Dr Cabral, huge fan from Europe. I would love to do the food sensitivity test, but I saw that you don't ship to my country. Any recommendations on tests to do here. Can't seem to find anything similar here. Cheers! Bruno Katie: Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, since learning about your podcast I feel I finally have information I can trust for my daily questions about health and wellness - I credit my current quality of life to you because I now know dairy, gluten & egg are sensivities for me and taking those foods out has helped me more than I could ever have enjoyed those foods - truly life changing. My question is about Juice Plus - I have been taking the orchard and vineyard blend capsules for a little over a year and because last year was my best year yet I am scared to stop taking them BUT would really like to know what you think. I stopped taking their daily complete shake because it contains pumpkin (one of my other food sensitivities) and switched to the equilibrium daily support shake. I now take my fruit and veggie juice plus capsules in the morning with my lime water with the hope they are comparable with the juiced powder you talk about all the time. Can’t wait to hear what you think - sure appreciate your thoughts and expertise! Jeff: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m writing on behalf of my wife, Amanda. She has currently been nursing our daughter for 6 months. She has gotten several clogged ducts which resulted in Mastitis at least 3 times already. She has been prescribed Keflex for the infection each time but we are not crazy about the idea of taking that many rounds of antibiotics. She would like to stop breastfeeding seeing as she’s back to work and has had several complications with going several hours without nursing or pumping. Unfortunately, the typical advice is “skip feedings and pump less” but she seems to have an oversupply and that method just results in more clogged ducts. She has tried several natural remedies, I.e. cabbage leaves, sage/peppermint teas. We are now worried it may be an issue with her prolactin levels. Her OBGYN Just today suggested a prolactin inhibitor. She has reduced the number of feeding/pumping sessions but her milk supply remains the same. If you have any tips or advice we would greatly appreciate it. We are huge fans of the podcast and your advice is rapidly changing our nutritional and exercise habits. Thank you for everything you do!   Chris: Hello, I am inquiring about the approximate wait time for acceptance of the "private concierge consulting" for a new client. I am writing on behalf of my brother who is overweight, has back problems so severe he now walks with a cane at 49 yrs old. We are desperate to help him before he falls to becomes so debilitated he has to be in a wheelchair.

777: "Functional" Nutrient Deficiencies, 3x5 Exercise Routine, Super-Nutrient Manganese (FR)

One of the major issues with our current healthcare system is the fact that we don't consider people "unwell" unless they have a gross abnormality on their blood work labs... However, waiting until people are sick we are negligently allowing people to walk around with nutrient deficiencies (that blood work can't pick up) and toxicities, which later cause the dis-eases we're trying to prevent in the first place... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 777 for more details on that topic as well as some ground breaking research on a 3x5-minute workout and our super-nutrient of the week discussion - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/777 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

775: The 7 Contributing Factors That Create Poor Health (WW)

We tend to look at disease as something that's out of our control and that it just happens to us... Conventional medicine and the media has brainwashed us into thinking it's simply "bad genetics," or a normal process of aging... However, none of that is true and holds very little weight when you begin to understand the "pathology" of dis-ease in the body and why we become sick or overweight unintentially... And, the great news is that all these poor health conditions are reversible, as long as we begin to uncover the underlying imbalances that created the environment within our body that allowed for the expression of these symptoms in the first place!

774: Why Running Just Your Blood Work is Never Enough (TWT)

Last week I detailed what you should request for your annual blood work (and why), and I still stand by the importance of running those labs, but... Running just blood work will never catch everything... For example, it's near impossible to figure out gut dysfunction (GI issues), allergies, heavy metals, cortisol, and other hidden imbalances through your blood work alone... This is why Functional Medicine lab testing has become so popular over the last decade... It is the ONLY way to figure out what the underlying root causes are to the wellness, weight loss, or anti-aging issues you may be facing...

772: The UK, Gynecomastia, Bone Broth Myth, Sauna Recommendation, Starter Lab Test, Clean Out the Candida (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Dalila: Hello, Could you kindly tell me, weither you deliver to England, UK. I am very interested in doing your wellness and food sensitivity test! If not, would you be able to recommend anywhere in the south of England that may practice something similar to what you do. This would be of great help. I love listening to the podcast, very informative. Thank you for your time. Kind Regards, Dalila Aaron: Hi Stephen, thanks for the podcast. I have been struggling with gynecomastia caused by low testosterone. Everywhere I look online seems to say that since it is not weight based there is not much to do. I also do not want to begin taking testosterone. Thanks Tenille: Greetings from Hobart, Australia Dr Cabral! I really appreciate your podcasts, the wisdom you share & am really hoping you can provide some guidance for my own health issues. I ordered various tests last year and now have a clear picture of what I'm dealing with. I'm seeing a local Dr (integrative medicine specialist); her knowledge is amazing, but admits she's honestly not 100% sure of an exact diet plan to suggest for all of my symptoms (aside from a cup of organic bone broth 3 times/day to repair stomach lining/heal gut, no fruit, no starchy veggies, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar daily, only eat soluble fibre (ie: soaked psyllium), no coffee, no yeast products or gluten, etc), which I find extremely difficult to navigate & follow as it's bland, unappealing & I honestly haven't been able to stick to it :-( I recently listened to your podcast via Melissa Ambrosini's show & believe you may be the person who can help :-) Here are the results of various blood tests, colonoscopy/endoscopy & complete stool test: - no h.pylori or parasites detected - Aerobes: Overgrowth of streptococcus gallolyticus (formerly called strep. Bovis); thankfully colonoscopy detected no bowel cancer, nor polyps. Normally streptococcus level allowed is E.coli undergrowth; level is 41% (should be 70-90% range) Anaerobes: bacterioids low - only 39.5% & only 3 species detected. -severely lactose intolerant - GORD/erosion of oesophagus/experiencing frequent reflux/heartburn - high level of candida overgrowth - zinc level is 10.4 (low considered 11.5 on Australian scale & 23 considered high) - copper toxicity found: Australian scale states 8 is low & 21 is highest margin. I'm 38.4 (extremely high) - low bile production level - oestrogen dominance - not breaking down fats properly - leaky gut / malabsorption of vitamins & minerals - luckily all thyroid levels were within normal ranges I have also gained 20kg in 2 years. I have been on the contraceptive pill for 23 years now (tried to stop it on 6 occasions only to have severe acne breakouts). - experiencing very low energy, fatigue, brain fog, gurgling stomach, etc. I dearly want to fix my gut, absorb all the vitamins & minerals naturally from veggies, fruit & meat, and then finally; stop taking the pill. I've spent over $3,000 on testing, hospital visits, supplements & Drs appts in the past 4 months. I've also completed the OAT test, but can't afford to return my Dr just yet for the results, as her visits are so expensive and I'm trying to renovate my home on the top of everything else. I imagine your CBO protocol is probably my next best step, but is it possible to purchase a shopping list or a nutritional guide (eg: month 1 of the protocol) separately, then the other 2 months in due course? I'm trying to find the most economical solution as it has been an expensive road getting to this point & stressing me out like crazy!! I've been prescribed in the past months the following: - 1 mth of Nexium (1 tab daily) for GORD. Reflux has returned nightly since stopping it. - 2 mth course of Nilstatin to combat candida overgrowth - high strength vitamin c daily - co-enzyme Q10 daily for fatigue - Uflora Intensive (1 daily) made by Metagenics - Acitvated Vit. B6 (1 daily) - Acticated Vit B (B12, etc) 1 daily - zinc citrate (30mg/day zinc equivalent) - 1 daily (to help pull out copper slowly) I was also prescribed 2 x 2 week courses of Erythromycin initially to try & kill off the strep. Gallolyticus (Eg, 2 wks of antibiotic, then 2 wks Uflora intensive to try to rebuild gut flora, then 2wks antibiotic/ then continue to take Uflora. I know this is a long message, but I wanted you to have a clear picture of where I'm at. I'm doing all I can to be proactive in learning, researching & funding better health for my body, but I really need some expert advice to put me on the right track moving forward. With deepest gratitude, Tenille Dee: Hi Dr Cabral, We recently purchased a Therasage personal sauna on your recommendation. We love it! I’m wondering if there is a guide as to how long you should stay in the sauna and also at what temperature? I’ve googled it, but there are many differing opinions. I remember one of your podcasts said just 20 minutes is beneficial, but we don’t even start sweating until after 15-20 minutes at 140 degrees. Thanks for any info you may have on the subject. Jennifer: Hello, Jenn here. I listen to your podcasts during my commute to work on a daily basis and enjoy learning. i am very interested in health and wellness and am hoping to transition into that arena in the future. I am going to order a few of your tests that I think would be right for me and see where I am. Currently I have no major issues, that I am aware of. I am 43, 3 year plant based with minimal processed food and sugar. I occasional drink. I get my B12 and Vit D checked often and taken both supplements. I think the hormone test might me best for me, thoughts?? I just want to be my best self and improve anyway I can. I also want to schedule an appointment with you or your staff for my husband, Matt. Not sure what my options are and pricing. He is 40, 3 year plant based as well. We both train for 70.3 triathlons. We believe he has some sensitivity to gluten, do to his congestion when drinking beer. Whenever he trains consistently for a few months he ALWAYS gets sick. He has constant sinus, mucus stuff going on. He got the sinus surgery and did not help. We tried gluten free for 3 months and seemed to help only minutely. This has been going on for over 10 years, even before we has plant based. He too takes B12 and Vit D. It makes him depressed and discouraged to workout and train when he always gets sick and it sets him back. We would love to figure this out. Thanks, Jennifer Tila: Hello Dr. Cabral, I'm trying to make this as short as possible. Since I was a baby I had multiple ear infections (which meant rounds of antibiotics) and because of that I had tonsillectomy when I was only 2 years old. I got my first food allergies and sensitivities when I was around 5 and had always stomach issues when growing up. In my teens I was sick all the time, I had low fever almost daily, stomach issues (which I thought were normal) and multiple sinus infections (more antibiotics). I kind of just got used to feeling tired all the time and having my stomach issues. Fast forwarding to my College years. I got super busy, like most of us. I did college year faster than others which meant long days and weekends studying. I was also in long distance relationship which brought more stress in my because of 10 hour time difference. I think I finally hit my limit. One day, out of nowhere I got really serious allergic reaction from peanuts (anaphylactic shock), I ended up going to hospital for a day. MD's did one good thing, they sent me to do more food allergy testing. I had so many food allergies and sensitivities it was crazy! No wonder my stomach had been hurting for years. I got some diet help from a professional, I removed all the foods that caused trouble for me and I started to follow SCD Diet. It helped so much. Year later I moved to United States. I had lof of time to study about nutrition and I got really into plant based diet. However, I was also emotionally stressed because of being far away from my family and I started to eat more sugar than ever again. In couple years, my stomach issues were back. This year I went back following SCD diet. It's hard because I would love to eat mostly plant based diet, but it seems like my stomach has hard time to handle certain carbs and sugars. I wonder if my gut bacteria is still unbalanced or if I have parasites/candida? What would you recommend to do? I would really love to feel energized and live my life without my stomach issues. Especially, because like you, I would love to help people with their health issues in the future, but I don't feel super confident, because I can't even fix my own issues.

771: Full Diagnosis, "No Frills" Diet, Wean Off Medication, GenoType vs. PhenoType, Cravings After a Cheat (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!  Check out today's questions: Ruben: Hello Dr. Cabral, First of all THANK YOU for putting in the time to put out the podcast on a regular basis. I wasn't sure what address to reach out with my question, so I figured I would start with this one. The question is actually for my wife. She had a annual exam yesterday and the Cholesterol test came back high. The doctor prescribed her a low dose Statin. My wife has been really sad since then because she really watches what she eats and is active. here is a brief overview: Height: 5'8 Weight: 134 lbs Age: 38 - Does not eat beef/pork - Eats chicken ( once a week) - eats fish ( once a week) - drinks a green drink 98% of the time, daily ( spinach, banana, apple, ginger, tumeric, spirulina, water) - when she doesn't pull her back ( she has few back issues), she works out about 4 times a week. - workouts consist: 10 minutes cardio fast pace, 20-30 minutes strength and conditioning. - Prior to the blood test she hasn't really worked out for about 2 weeks here are the numbers ( fasted test) Chol: 280 Trigly: 173 HDL: 51 Chol/HDL rate: 5.49 LDL: 194 Non HDL Chol : 229 Rest of the numbers look good. She has a history of high cholesterol even though she doesn't eat bad at all 2012 : Chol 169 | Tri 62 | HDL 40 | Ratio: 4.23 | LDL 117 2015: Chol 246 | Tri 139 | HDL 46 | Ratio: 5.35 | LDL 172 2017: Chol 226 | Tri 186 | HDL 47 | Ratio: 4.81 | LDL 142 2018: Chol 280 | Tri 173 | HDL 51 | Ratio: 5.49 | LDL 194 She does not want to start taking a statin but she really feels defeated, so I am reaching out to see if there are any other tests that she could do to make sure there aren't other things that are actually causing the high cholesterol. Also, if she can do any of your protocols or any of the daily support products. Any info that could give us some hope or something to try in the near future would be really really appreciated! Kind Regards, Ruben Breanna: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you so much for providing us with such amazing content, and inspiring many to live happier, healthier and happier lifestyles. I listen to your podcast daily and have providing me with the knowledge I've always wanted to know growing up. I have a little story for you. For as long as I can remember I would be in excruciating pain 24/7, especially in the morning. I was diagnosed with lactose intolerance as a baby, but it wasn't until I was 11 years old that the doctors diagnosed me with Celiac Disease... then depression, then anxiety, then acid reflux, then anemia... my symptoms never went away, my intestines never fully recuperated and I was taking 5 different pills daily at 12 years old, despite eliminating gluten. I stopped taking all medication a year ago because I was fed up and I am now 18. Through your podcast I now realize why all these extra symptoms occurred and how they were going against me.. the health system failed me. My intestines still aren't fully recuperated but this isn't part of my question. I just believe my health background may play a part in my current situation. I was always super active growing up as I was a competitive dancer. A year ago I decided to start going to the gym and got approached by a coach who offered her services to help prepare me for a bodybuilding competition. I did my first competition in april and won 2nd place. That diet wasn't bad and didn't have to do too much cardio as I was only 17 and she didn't want anything bad to happen. 3 months later I started prepping for my second show, at 18 years old. My "diet" lasted 12 weeks. She started me off at 1800 calories, lowered weekly and by the end I struggled to loose weight. For the last 4 weeks I was doing 2 hours of cardio + 1 hour weight training, and my diet composed of 5 chicken breasts and 2 tbsp ground flaxseed (+ 1/4 cup oats ONCE a week on leg day, and cut out those carbs 2 weeks out). How did I survive? Barely. I realize that this is extremely unhealthy, but I was too far in to give up. I had 0 days off the gym in 4 months. Also, I was extremely constipated. There was a period where I went 4 weeks only pooping 3 times and had to use diuretics each time to force myself to go!!! I started taking probiotics as another coach had told me this helped her use the bathroom, and it did for a while. My body toxicity was so high. She also advised me to use "estro control" to help get rid of that toxicity and loose my last pounds on my legs. I won first place by the way :). But here is my question.. what exactly did I do to my body? And what could I do differently next time? From listening to your podcasts, (especially your low carb diet ones), I realize I lowered my metabolism dramatically, lowered my thyroid, increased cortisol, burned a lot of muscle and increases levels of disease from purely eating chicken. To put in perspective, I'm 18, 5ft, mesomorph body type, was 95 pounds before going to the gym, gained a lot of muscle and started my diet at 112 lbs but cut down to 98 lbs for my competition. To reverse diet, she advised me to eat 200g carbs, 100g protein and 45g fat, and 0 cardio.I had very minimal "cheats", meaning I only eat whole clean foods such as sweet potato, rice, berries, gluten free oats, veggies, protein powder, eggs, chicken, extra lean ground turkey, rarely red meat, nuts, peanut butter and coconut oil (literally all I eat). Following this diet I am 5 weeks post show and 120 lbs!!! I went from being 10% body fat to having the most fat on my body I've ever had. So what do I do now? Do I just follow this new diet and wait for my metabolism to reset? I know that lowering my calories and doing cardio is only going to hurt me more in the long run (metabolism, thyroid, cortisol)... so I'm just confused and extremely unhappy. On top of that, I haven't gotten my period in months (and no I'm not pregnant). I now go to the gym 5 times a week to weight train and I take multivitamins, omega 3, potassium, digestive enzymes and probiotic5, but no more estro control... should I still be taking these supplements? I have recently started implementing your morning routine (water, yoga, smoothie) and definitely feeling better, but not looking better. Can you help me? I'm sooooo lost. And I know you are the best of the best, and the only person I would trust answering this properly, as you always look at all perspectives. Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been listening to your show for over a year and absolutely love it. I receive more knowledge from you to help my clients than most other sources. My question is about a current private client I am working with. She is about 65, has had 2 heart attacks in the last 8 years (the last one about 2 years ago) and she is on about 12 different medicines (metformin, wellbutrin, Spironolactone, Zetia, *Metoprolol ER, *Crestor, *Aspirin, Cymbalta, Levothyroxine, Plavix, Avapro) progesterona along with 2 topical hormones estrogen and testosterone. My question is, what would be your order of operations for this client. She is open and ready to change her diet and lifestyle and ideally, one day she would love to not be taking any medications or the least amount possible. I've got her on your daily support shake and doing berry smoothies daily. We are working on increasing her stomach acid and next I would like to help her get rid of heavy metals (is there something you recommend for this that won't interfere with her medications?) She is on so many medications and I can see that they are crossing to cause many of her symptoms, I also want to be sure to take things really slow and respect her doctor decisions (although she has tried to come off medications many times and they almost always resist her requests). Any advice would be great, thanks for all that you do   Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral! I just finished your podcast (713) on body types and Inhave a follow up question. I am currently on week 2 of your detox and I have suffered for over a decade with adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism. Therefore, I have metabolism issues that I didn’t always have at a young age. When determining my body type, should I consider my current state or when I aas a kid with no health issues? Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral, In your podcasts, you mentioned the importance of a cheat meal once a week for grehlin and leptin levels. I have a hard time resisting cravings once I cheat. I am on week 2 of your detox and no linger crave all the bad foods. I worry I will go downhill again once I allow myself the bad foods. What do you recommend I do to prevent a relapse? Are the better cheat foods to stick with that still address grehlin and leptin and avoid a relapse? What about portion sizes for cheat meals?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/771 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

767: What to Ask for (and Why) When Running Your Annual Blood Work (TWT)

Running your blood work every 6-12 months should be mandatory in order to "catch" serious health issues quickly... The problem is that not all MDs or PCPs will run all the lab tests you should be looking at... For example, most MDs will run your cholesterol, but they overlook homocysteine and CRP, which when all elevated can spell serious trouble for inflammatory heart disease... Of course, all of these dis-eases are correctable, but you do need to know what you're dealing with in the first place...

765: Carpal Tunnel, Mystery Jitteriness, Bells Palsy, ADHD, Nauseous After Eating, Prenatal Iron (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Viviane: Love your podcast, have learned so much. ok, straight to the point. My hands get numb at night , both hands, and wake me up several times during the night. Started a long time ago with the left hand , but now are both. Dr. said I had a very light case of carpal tunnel 5 years a go, gave me shots and for a couple years , it was fine. Came back and much worse. went again to DR, did nerve tests and same diagnosis. Got the shots again , which did ABSOLUTELY nothing this time, but made my hands very much uncpable for a couple days. I get numb even sleeping with braces they prescribed. My hands feel sore and hurtful , tender all day from the numbness at night. it is not the position i sleep in....please give me some light. Thank you so much. Joey: Dr. Cabral I am a 39 year old male that’s an ex athlete that still works out everyday. My diet is really good and have been fasting between 12-16 hours a day for about a two years. The last three years I have been spending time coaching basketball in Eastern Europe in China(4 months). For the past year, I have been having serious lower throat pain that comes and goes usually lasting for weeks. Also while having this pain I get other symptoms such as blurred vision(especially bad in left eye), fatigue, lightheaded when standing up, dizziness, numbness in hands and feet(like they have falling asleep) and just overall really jittery and anxious. Doctor, I just feel off like everyone is moving around me in fast motion. It’s really frustrated because nobody can seem to figure out what’s wrong with me. Anything you can do would be appreciated. Thank you Joey Sue: Hi Dr. Cabral, Before Christmas I was under a lot of stress at work. We took a family trip after the holiday and on the first night I woke up and half of my face was paralyzed. The next day I phoned my dr. who prescribed predinisone and antiviral medicines which I took but I've seen no improvement. My dr says I have bells palsy. Can you please help me to understand why this may have happened and how I can begin to heal my body from the inside out? its been 3 weeks and there has been no change to my paralysis so far.   Travee: what nutritional supplements would help a child with ADHA?   Matt: Hi Dr. Cabral- Thank you so much for all you are doing to help people. I have a question about my wife and some nausea she is experiencing. She gets nauseous after almost every meal (and has for years) and needs something like gum or a piece of candy to get rid of the nausea. She is 35 years old and healthy. No smoking, known medical conditions, or health "dis-eases." :) I want to try to help her so we tried to find trigger foods to no avail. It appears unlinked to any foods or times of the day. Her grandmother also has the same issue and her nausea is helped by smoking cigarettes. I would love any advice or suggestions. Thanks again for everything. Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, As always thank you for the ways you share your wisdom & expertise for the community! I just received my pregnancy protocol in the mail from you. I am curious about the iron. I am planning on taking the prenatal vitamins for the next 3 months and then begin trying to conceive. Should I be taking the iron supplements now or when I get pregnant? I have heard conflicting things about if women get to much iron then they can easily overdose ect. Can you give me some more insight why taking iron is important and the specifics on if I should be taking it before conception/after conception? Thanks!

764: Corticobasal Degeneration, Nutrition Training, International Clients, Iron During Pregnancy, Kidney Failure, Mild Candida, Low Oxalate Diets (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!  Check out today's questions: Elizabeth: Hi Stephen, I have a friend who has a family member suffering with corticobasal degeneration. Understand it's a rare dis-ease and wondered if you have had any experience with this treatment or if it's possible to be treated? Similar to yourself I believe everything can be treated or reversed but I am not familiar with CBD. Thanks for all you do and inspiring others to better health! Rachel: Good Morning Dr Cabral my name is Rachel I located in Queensland Australia. I have listened to your podcast with Melissa Ambrosini and your words spoke to me. I would love to know if you take online clients from Australia? I am also extremely interested if you offer any nutrition training? I am looking to start my course very soon and I would love to be able to take part any training that you offer as I really understanding the concept of what is best when it comes to health is individual for every BODY! Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated, even if you can suggest a training course that I could complete that you would suggest.   Katie & Susanne: Hi there, I’m in Australia and I would love to have a consultation with him as his story really struck a cord with me and he sounds like the right person to help me get well again. Is that possible via Skype of do I need to be living in America? Thanks so much. Kind regards, Katie   Danielle: Hello! I would really appreciate your advice on post pregnancy iron deficiency anemia please, also what are your thoughts on black strapp molasses as a natural cure/treatment? Many thanks Danielle   Lindsey: I am a firm believer of functional medicine and rebalancing the body to heal any disease. My daughter’s father was recently diagnosed with severe kidney failure. They are still running test to see what the next step is but right now they’re thinking dialysis. He’s 34 years old and has been on hydrochlorothiazide, verapamil, and enalapril for high blood pressure for the pass 6+ years. He believed his high blood pressure was linked to these terrible migraines he’s been suffering from for over 10 years. He was an avid user of over the counter pain pills to help with the migraines, especially excedrin. He follows the standard American diet with a lot of diary and no pork or red meat. I’ve listened to your podcasts on high blood pressure, migraines, high histamine foods, etc. Along with the other information I know, I’m starting him on a detox tomorrow eliminating a lot of the foods he currently eats. My thoughts are to find out what is triggering his migraines because I am almost certain it’s food related. He’s also going to start adjusting his schedule to getting 8 hours of sound sleep, working out (cardio and light weight training), and intermittent fasting. My question is, am I on the right track? My goal is to get him off of the pharmaceutical drugs and show him that he can balance his high blood pressure by changing his diet and lifestyle. I want him to work with a functional medicine doctor but he’s still skeptical and brainwashed by conventional medicine. He’s still taking his high blood pressure medication because everyone is telling him to keep doing it. What supplements can he add to help with the kidney failure and stress? And also, what labs would you recommend him to start with?   Jen: Hi Dr Cabral, I was recently diagnosed with a mild case of Candida. My MD wanted to put me on antibiotics, but not only do I prefer to cure it naturally, as I understand it, Candida is fungal and not bacterial, so antibiotics wouldn’t work anyway. Is that correct? I wondered if you could recommend a natural way to cure this mild case? I understand certain foods like cold smoothies and salads, can add to the dampness in the body and that I should stick to warm veggies and lean protein. Would that be your recommendation as well? Also, I have heard about accelerated silver and wondered about your thoughts on using it? Any advise is MUCH appreciated and respected. Thank you Jen Mary: Hello. I use your daily nutritional support shake and fruit and vegetable blend and have also used the detox you offer. I perceive that I am getting great health benefits from all of these products and have gotten several friends and family members hooked as well. I also listen to your podcast and find it very valuable and educating. Thank you for all you do. Could you explain your thoughts on the fad of low lectin and low oxylate diets and how this plays into your suggestion of having a predominately plant based diet. I would also like to know your thoughts on the Ayurvedic perspective of regular green smoothies being aggravating on the physiology of many people as they can be hard to digest. I presume this is due to the high fiber content and maybe the possible affects of lectins and oxylates on the immune system? Thank you for your time!   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/764 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

761: The Fat & Toxic Flushing Breakfast Recipe (WW)

What to eat for breakfast is easily the most understood and challenging meal to get right... But, it hasn't always been this way - Up until the 1500's and then later in the 1920's breakfast had always been consistent with healthy living and following the natural digestive processes of the day... The problem is that when modern life and big corporations get involved with the media our version of what is healthy for us often times becomes perverted by private interest groups...

759: Let Go of Your Need for Controlling the Outcome (MM)

There really is one BEST way for achieving your desired goals and stepping into the life you've envisioned for yourself. It's a 3 step system that has been passed down for thousands of years through oral and written teachings: The 1st step is becoming crystal clear on exactly what you desire... The 2nd step is now transforming those thoughts into actions that will ultimately lead you to your goal... And the 3rd step is removing yourself from the need to control the outcome... It's this last step that most people have never been taught, which is why many people are literally blocking themselves from achieving their goals...

758: High Eosinophils, Kidney Filtering, Elevated Liver Function, Baby Formula, Collagen Recommendation, Plastic Ziplock Alternatives (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!  I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…  Let’s get started! Lena: Hey Stephen, You've got a listener from paris! I really like your podcast, it is very informative! keep the good work ;) I've got a question about myself, i would sooo love for you to answer I will really try to be short ;) My name is Léna, I'm 30 year old, vegan, gluten free girl and since last july, i've began having big pain in my belly every time i ate, like the pain one got with gastroenteritis, where you move in all directions with your hands around your belly but never feeling relieved. It was lasting about 2 to 3 hours (maybe the time of digestion) with big pains on my back every time i ate. My eosinophils were very high in august, around 2200 (the high limit is in about 580!) then it drops to 1800 and a few months later to 750 but i think it did go up again later (i didn't do another analysis but had giant pains). I did a lot of blood tests, there were no parasites founded (but i took an anti-parasite pill), no H pilory, i did biopsies, 2 fibroscopies, 1 coloscopy but nothing founded I have a appointment in internal medecine at a hopital in a few months to find why i got very high and anormal eosinophils I did have a test to know if i'm sensitive to some foods: there were brazil nuts, eggs and some other nuts (little reaction) and other foods that i don't even eat (like corn, barley, milk etc.) i totally stopped brazil nuts and eggs for now. I will try to reintroduce them in a few months Anyway, my pains hurt for six months and in december, when I was really tired of suffering every time i ate (it was getting worse again), i saw a nutritherapist and she said to stop eating carbs (fruits, butternuts and vegetables like carrots and beets) for a short period of time and to increase anti inflammatory oils and decrease proteins. A very low carb globally (more vegan ketolike actually). I have complements like turmeric (curcumin), vitamin D, zinc, b12, glutamine, fish oils (and estroblock but it has nothing to do with that!) And in 3 days my pains decrease immensely! It's been almost a month and I already feel better. Sometimes i feel unconfortable or i feel pain but nothing compared to before But, i'm feeling a bit tired and i find it weird to eat so much fat (like more than a 120 g a day, less than 50 grams of net carbs a day but i'm more at 25g, and 60 gr of protein). And i didn't have my period this month... I'm afraid of my thyroid, my hormones  and especially my acne since i had cystic acne all my life and it's been fine since the last year, one year after stopping the pill (which i had for 14 years!!!) So, my questions are: what do you think could explain my pains if it's not parasites or allergies? If you have an idea, what could be the solutions to feel better and have a normal life, which i so much want Should i maintain this "vegan keto diet" or what should I do? What complements should I take to regulate my hormones and not have acne. i feel so lost between opposite articles on the web about low carb / keto / diet / hormones, i feel quite abandonned by doctors, and it's just me, a young girl, stuck with this problem thank you so much for answering this, it would really mean a lot to me cheers from France because yes, even french people are listening to your podcast! ps: i always had trouble with digestion, but more like bloating and gas. I'm very sensitive. i'm very thin, i do sport, i eat a lot of vegetables ;)   Ryan: Hey Dr. Cabral I am reaching to you on a recommendation from one of my clients and I believe your friend, Dave Armstrong "Army", in regards to my father. In September 2017 he had a partial knee replacement that resulted in an infection followed by heavy antibiotic treatment. Since that time he has been suffering with a multitude of health issues concerning his kidneys, blood platelets, diabetes, as well as his pancreatic and digestive function.  He has seen over a half dozen different doctors and specialists and gone through just about every test or scan that they can think of.  Yet, collectively they have absolutely zero idea of what's going on.  The only answer they have given is more medication to mask the real problems. I fear that they will never get to the bottom of it and will just continue to medicate the symptoms away until one of the systems eventually fails. I'm not sure how your practice works but I would like to set up a consultation for him if possible. I will also be contacting your office as instructed by Julia via Dave.   J.A.: Hi Dr Cabral, Love your podcast and learning about natural medicine. I am on a healing journey to resolve 'chronic mystery pain' that came on me 2 years ago and has not left. I have addressed Heavy Metals and had extensive testing OAT, HTMA all look ok. The only thing left is elevated LFT and billirubin my practitioner thinks this could be causing excess estrogen/histamine. So working to balance hormones via the liver. Aside from this I want to do your 7 day detox but will have to tweak it as I am very sensitive to 'pea' on IGG so will use hemp protein and supps my ND has given me. My question - sorry took a while to get to it! but trying to give full picture is about meals. Since listening to your last podcast (705) on 3 meals per day I anted your take on how I eat to assist with the above. I eat a plantbased diet. My day starts with a smoothie at 5.30am (I start work at 7am) so it is a long day and hence I usually have a snack (e.g hummus on rice cakes at about 10am. Lunch which is a salad with quinoa/veg etc at 12.30pm. I then have another snack like a piece of fruit at about 2. then dinner at about 7. Because I have a longer day am I ok to snack? or am I overloading my body and delaying healing? should my snack be protein shakes? Weight is stable and I don't need to lose weight. Pitta/Kapha body type. Any additional comments on the whole situation appreciated. Happy New Year! I will be listening to every podcast :) Mel: Hi, not sure if you received my question last time... Sorry if you did... What ate your thought on baby formula if it has to be given along with breastfeeding? First foods for baby? Also, best contraception to avoid pill? Amelia: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm in my 40's and have been researching the best supplements for hair growth and skin firming. I have heard about things like Collagen Love and Vital proteins, but I'm not sure what brands to trust to work. Can you please recommend a few that are great for both skin collagen and tightening as well as hair growth? Thanks Amelia Dee: Hi Dr Cabral, Can you recommend alternatives to plastic wraps and storage baggies? I’m seeing some silicone options, ((specifically Stasher brand)) but I was wondering if there’s anything better or more cost effective.

757: CBD THC, Where to Start, Morning Sickness, Isagenix, Meet Health Conscious Singles (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Deborah: Quick question about the CBD Oil - my daughter will be interviewing for jobs shortly and was concerned about the affect this product will have on any blood tests she may have to have. We are aware that the product does not contain THC which is one thing these blood tests look for, but will the CBD Oil have any other effect on a drug test? Also, she currently takes 50 mgs. of Trazadone for insomnia and has since she was young - anxiety runs in the family, as does insomnia, so I'm thinking the CBD Oil may help with her sleep issues and GAD. Should we be concerned about her taking the CBD Oil while also taking the Trazadone? Thanks for your help. Cynthia: Hi Dr Cabral, I have been following you and listening to you for a while. I have learned so much from your podcasts. I am at a loss as to what to do at this point. I have followed and read books by Dr Mercola and other like him for years. It seems like everyone has gotten on the band wagon with the Keto diet. I know it works but I didn’t always feel great on it and there was part of me that just knew that all the extra protein that many said was ok couldn’t be good for you. I know people that lost a ton on the Paleo as well. Again, there was a part of me that did not believe that some healthy grains are good for you. I even use a flour called Einkorn that has not been genetically modified. I have eaten non gmo/organic for years now. I also eat a very clean diet staying away from most processed foods. I have the knowledge, maybe too much and can’t seem to get it right when it comes to what is the best diet for me. I liven the north east and it is hard to fine a Dr that believes in a more holistic way of health. The couple I found are only for the wealthy. I found a Dr who’s claim was integrative medicine and who accepted my insurance. I was hopeful. I shared my history with her as follows. "I gained a lot of weight with my first child ( 95 lbs) and struggled to loose it. I had a bad knee injury from hiking years ago which at times made it hard to exercise. It worsened in time resulting in surgeries and a total knee replacement.Three children later and after 30 years of loosing 20-30 lbs and gaining it back plus some I am in need of loosing 100lbs. I crave carbs and sugar. I always used all organic ingrediance in my cooking and baking and pretty much cook everything from scratch. I love salads, a variety of vegetables, green smoothies, and many healthy foods. I even eat fermented foods. I know I eat too much and I know surger, even organic is not good for me. My cravings make me feel like an addict at times. I am sick of thinking about food so much!” I shared more things that I had learned and read over the years and her response was, “you know more that most, including me.” At that time she said I would like to prescribe something that will help you with your cravings. She handed me a paper that said, Contrave-Naltruxone Wellbutrin. I said, is that a drug? To which she replied, yes! I was, needles to say so disappointed. I don’t even take aspirin and this, “alternative” Dr. wants to put me on a drug to help with my eating! For how long, a month a year, life, then what? I never went back. So here I am deciding on the next course of action. I saved $300.00 and am wondering if I should do the Dr. Cabral 21 day detox to start and then get some testing done. Believe me, I would drive to Boston to see you if my insurance covered it. I really need help and I trust your knowledge and education and respect your desire to help others. You of all the Drs. I have listened to make the most sense. I want to know if I may be missing certain nutrients and need to be on a certain type of diet for a short period of time like you talk about and then change to something else for my body type. I also know that following healthy diet is for life. I am 62, have a good amount of energy, work part time out of the house and have a small home business). My last blood tests came back normal, including thyroid though slightly low in vitamin D. I am not on any medication. The detox sounds amazing and if you think I should start with that first, I will. There are just so many out there that claim to be the best. I want good health naturally and I don’t want to put gmo’s, non organic, synthetic things into my body. I can save for some of the test you talk about. I honestly wish I could do it all at once. Please advise me as I want to get started asap! Thank you for your time and all you do to help others. Sincerely, Cynthia   Karin: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a question for you regarding morning sickness during pregnancy. Firstly..... why do some women get it and can it be avoided or minimized? I had it REALLY badly for 20 weeks and it scares me to even think about having another child. My mother had it too! HELP!   Donna: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank You for all of your help in educating your listeners to a future of optimal health! Are you familiar with the Isagenix 30 day cleansing & fat burning system? It's about $300. I am 5'6" at 128#s. I have done your 7 day detox and your 90 day Candida Protocol. What do you recommend over the Isagenix cleanse for an occasional total body cleansing? Also, do ionic foot cleanses remove toxins? I also have dry skin and I drink approx. 70 oz. of water from a counter-top Berkey. I even have to drink water through the night because my throat gets dry. I take pharmaceutical grade fish oil, vit. D, probiotics, eat a clean diet, and just started taking your protein shakes & fruit/veggie powder every morning.One other thing, from a previous question you suggested I take a Telomere test and you were concerned that I might be leaking protein into my bloodstream. It's not yet in the budget but if I were leaking protein into my bloodstream, what would you suggest I do? A 6 month ago hair analysis test showed I have a slow oxidation pattern, copper toxicity, aluminum elevated, low zinc, low potassium. I've been taking zinc liver chelate, metal flush, spanish black radish, b complex. I just got tested again; awaiting results. Thank you! Donna Dear Support Team, I sent in an online (for on Air) question yesterday explaining a hair analysis test I had that showed a copper toxicity. I added the supplements I was taking, Metal Flush, Zinc, Spanish radish. But I don't think I added in that it also showed aluminum level elevated ( i think i did on that), low zinc, low potassium. It would be awesome to be able to view our original submitted question and have say 24 hours to tweak it if needed to save you all some time from people like me ha ha! Respectfully & Thankfully, Donna C. Nick: Hi Dr Cabral About six months ago I drastically changed my life for the better and concerning health related issues, your podcast was what helped me most. Thank you so much for that! To be frank, the content, the quantity and the versatility of your podcast is absolutely unbeatable. Please keep going! Alright, to my question: Now that I've become more health conscious, I reduce my alcohol intake to a minimum. With all the benefits, it's got its downsides, too. For example I avoid going to bars and clubs with my friends for that very reason. I don't really mind that. However, I do miss meeting new people, and especially girls, in those scenarios. Where should I go now to get to know health conscious and goal oriented people like myself? Btw my gym doesn't seem to be the best place for that. Thanks again! All the best from Switzerland Nick   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/757 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

754: Create Your Own Rotation Diet to Figure Out Your Hidden Food Sensitivities (WW)

Although I'm an advocate of food sensitivity testing, food reactions can go so much deeper than immune cell testing could ever find...

This is why with my "most sensitive" private clients, I use a "Rotation Diet." It's not hard to implement and it has literally changed lives by controlling the different variables used with meal planning...

753: How Not to “Re-Tox” After a Detox (TWT)

This has been a popular question as of late: "How do you go through a cleanse or detox without sliding backwards after you complete the 7, 14, or 21 days?" Believe it or not, the answer is a lot easier than it may seem... The reason for this is that you don't have to be perfect in order to keep your results coming, as well as maintain what you achieved on your detox...

752: Discover the “3 D’s” for Developing a New Habit (MM)

One of the best ways to manifest the life you want is to begin to develop new habits... The reason I say this is because it is not one major action in life that pushes you towards your goals or potential, but rather thousands of seemingly small decisions along the way... My goal for you is to begin to make a few small tweaks that over time will literally revolutionize your life... I can almost guarantee that after developing these new habits you will look back months and years from now and won't be able to comprehend how much your life has changed for the better!

751: Hormonal Acne, Canned Salmon, International Lab Testing, Sores on Lips, Body Pump Classes, Autism Detox, Herx Die Off, Best Quality CBD (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…  Let’s get started! Karin: Hi Dr Cabral, I heard your podcast with Melissa Ambrosini and have since been obsessed with your podcast. You have given me some hope. My issue is ... acne. And I know you see it a lot and have talked about it a lot but I can't really get a clear view of what my cause is and what I need to do. See I live in Australia and can't do your detox, if you know of a similar one in Australia that you would recommend please let me know. My acne started as a teenager, over the years I have gone on roacctune which has helped, but I never ever want to do that again. Horrible drugs. I was diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago. I then changed my lifestyle, eat well and cleaned out a lot of the chemicals and toxins in my house and life. I would say I am on a good path. Through these changes I was able to regulate my period however my skin never cleared. I feel like I have tried it all. 2 years ago I fell pregnant and my skin was amazing throughout breastfeeding. Then when i stopped and my period began again the acne came back. It started as lots of tiny bumps on my forehand and then around my mouth, on my chest and the odd one on my back. I feel like this might give you some insight. A few questions: - Does the location of the acne relate to specific problem areas? E.G- forehand with digestion? Chin with hormones? - I had a jaw operation as a teenager and have 2 screws in my jaw now for life. Would this metal have an effect on me? Not exactly sure what type of metal it is. - If I cant do your detox, how do I clean my blood? Other suggestions or detoxes you can recommend? - From my story can you tell where the problem is coming from? - I saw a naturopath and she advised I am slightly acidic and prescribed an alkalizing drink as well as a vitamin C and zinc supplement (i was also low in zinc). I must say this has helped and I would like to continue with this. - What kind of lab test would you recommend? I will have to look into where I can find them here in Oz. Thank you for your help! There must be an underlying issue, but I am just not sure what to do to find out what it is. Another random question.... we don't really get wild caught salmon here much. What is your take on canned wild caught salmon? Leigh: Hi, I am interested in your hormone testing kit but I live in NSW Australia, is there anyone over here that you could suggest that offers similar testing? Regards Leigh   Panagiota: Hi! I love your podcast !! I have reoccurring cold sores on my lip . I have been using Abreva it helps but I constantly need to use it. I’m looking forward to your advice is hard to deal with it’s very annoying problem. Thank you Panagiota     Kelly: Hello and Happy New Year, Dr. Cabral! On podcast #702, you mentioned you needed someone to reorganize your podcast collection. I would be happy to work for you remotely as I live in Colorado. I listen to multiple Cabral Concept podcasts each day and really find the work you are doing honorable! I am employed 40 hours Sunday-Wednesday, but would be available Thursdays and Fridays to work for you remotely. I use your search function frequently and have ideas on how it could be improved for ease of use. I am currently employed in Medical Records department of a major healthcare (aka Sickcare) system, but just left my previous career in public education after 10 years. I have a B.S. Degree in Psychology and a Masters of Education degree. Please email or call if I could be of service to your organization! Thank you for all you do in disrupting the corrupted healthcare system and helping people get well! I'm currently on day 6 of a 21 day Cabral Detox! Lynn: What are your thoughts on Les Mills Body Pump classes as a 3 days per week full body workout? The classes are full body weighted exercises with a focus on high reps thus requiring lower weight than what I would normally do for weighted execises with 8-10 reps. Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your show and am currently attempting to go through the backlog of your shows for information to help my family become healthier, its such an amazing source of information. Thank you for the transparency of information, its such a blessing. I have just received my sons stool results, he's an Autistic 3 yo with a clostridium overgrowth and high fecal inflammation. We are being put on Flagyl. I was wondering if we should also use biocidin once we are off the antibiotic? We are giving him Sacc B while on the antibiotic. We have also found high levels of metals and I was wondering if we should wait to heal his gut before beginning any sort of natural chelation or heavy metal detox. What would be your course of action and timeline for my son? On a side note, Ive bought your detox program but am waiting to hear whether I should wait to begin the program until after I am done breastfeeding. Thank you for all you do for our community. Joshua: Hi Dr. Cabral. I started taking a supplement called restore4life and immediately got violentlly I'll. Extreme pain around my pelvic bone/lower back, side cramps, and flu like symptoms. I took a couple days off, but upon re-introducing it the symptoms returned. Is it possible I'm having a Herx like die-off? I can't decide whether or not I should continue taking this product. Thank you! Josh   Michael: Hey Dr Cabral and staff, My name is Michael and I have been listening to your show just over a year now. Love the information you are providing on all aspects of health. Particularly how you're now adding a lot of Ayurvedic influence into your podcast now. I have recently purchased a couple of Ayurvedic books myself and started adding it to my daily routine and listening to your shows just gives me more insight and perspective on the ancient practice. The reason I am contacting you today is actually pertaining to your CBD oil. I have been working with CBD oil for 3 years now and I have not come across a Supercritical CO2 extracted oil that just contains hemp. Other oils have MCT oil, or coconut oil, sunflower seed oil etc. I'm not against those oils because I know there are benefits to those oils as well, but I am looking to start my own CBD oil company in NV and start selling them to my clients(I have personal trained for 13 years now) and I would like to carry an oil like your in my facility. I would appreciate if you can point me in the right direction on getting started on purchasing oils in bulk. Thank you for your time and dedication to providing top quality information and products.

750: Remove Cravings, Stressed Vata, Sourdough Bread, Rebalance Body Type, Enema vs. Detox Benefits, Jump Roping vs. Rebounding (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Lynn: I am about to begin your 21 day detox on Saturday and hoping it will cure me of my cravings, binge eating, weight gain, inflammation, hormonal acne, etc. I am worried that cheat meals after the detox will jump start my bad habits and cravings again. How do I prevent this from happening? Ali: I'm a vata body type with a kapha imbalance (aka, I have more body fat than I should and despite eating clean and working out, sleeping well, etc). I can eat a meal around lunch time and not be hungry again until the next morning after a workout, but I wonder if I'm doing more damage than good hormonally/metabolically...? On the Melissa Ambrosini Podcast you mentioned that you don't recommend intermittent fasting -- but on one of your own podcasts you do say that you recommend the 24 hr fast. Why is 14-16 hours problematic (how is it impacting my hormones), but 24 hours isn't? Is 16 hours still problematic if I don’t feel like I’m stressing my body out or putting it into any kind of starvation mode during that time? I’ll sometimes end that 12-16 hour overnight fast with high-intensity workout in the morning… and I won’t eat until an hour or so after that workout, which usually comes out to 12-16 hours, no problem. Even though I’m not hungry, is that still causing stress to my system and being counterproductive for weight loss? Why is 24-hour fasting one day a week a better thing to do? Isn't that also putting the body into a stress mode? I worry that it would slow my metabolism and be counterproductive to weight loss.. Elisabeth: Hi I was wondering whether sourdough bread and whole grain pastas are considered processed carbs? Are they ok to have in moderation? I will have Mung bean pasta once per week or so and sourdough here and there. I understand that you are not suggesting not to have quinoa, Buckwheat and rice etc but wondering how you feel when they are made into flours and then pancakes etc? Thanks!   Tahleah: Hi Dr Cabral I listened to your interview with Melissa Ambrosini and I was not only inspired but also hit with some mega truth. It highlighted what I'd been questioning over the last few months... taking a break from coaching others in order to give back to myself, to re-balance my own constitution, so I can serve more powerfully. I'm passionate about what I do but unfortunately that passion has been weathered... I don't feel as inspired as I used to coach others and that has made me feel really guilty, simply due to a lack of energy. I know this is my path, but the expression of this path is not aligned right now. My personal health has been chaos... dealing with gut health issues, parasites, imbalances, anxiety - mostly due to overworking because of financial stress. For me, my biggest guilt trip has been, not being the full embodiment/example of health I want to be and have full potential to be. But I'm confused, I know what I need to do but I lack energy that I'm just in survival mode... Your episode brought me back to my personal love for Ayurveda; re-visiting my constitution, which is Vata/Pitta. So, I have a few questions... 1. I know there is your constitution you're given at conception, then there is the constitution you're expressing now due to stress. I've dealt with stress for so long, that I'm wondering if Vata/Pitta is even my natural constitution? What is the best way to start re-balancing? I've worked with an amazing Ayurvedic coach and she could tell straight off the bat I was more Vata but was showing Kapha imbalance with the gut health issues. I've improved slightly, no snacking with a regular metabolism which requires me to eat about every 4-5 hours focusing on three meals per day and maybe one light snack in between depending on what I've eaten or how long until I get home to cook. It's been working well but I'm extremely fatigued and still trying to get by, I don't want to live like this. My second question is, what's the best way to do a meal plan based on my body type to re-balance? Do you have any resources that could point me in the right direction? I love your work and will start to listen to your podcast. Thank you so much for being an example of wellness and living your dosha. Much gratitude Tahleah :) Anonymous: Thanks for all the great info! Regarding detox, I take a coffee enima 2-3 days/week. Is any other detrox protocal necessary or will this be sufficent?  Lynn: I had a question about your podcast on the benefits of rebounding. Do other jumping exercises such as jump roping or jumping jacks replicate the benefits of a rebounder or is it different? How do they compare?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/750 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

747: Are You Suffering from These Signs of Inflammaging? (WW)

"Inflammaging" is now a widely accepted term in both the conventional medicine and natural health world... It essentially is a catch-all term for all the symptoms associated with aging that relate to an increase in inflammation throughout the body and brain... The problem is that all this inflammation has a root cause, but unfortunately in conventional medicine they only treat the symptoms associated with the inflammation... This means that although the outward symptoms have been masked the true underlying imbalances still exist and when left untreated only manifest themselves as even more severe dis-eases in the future...

746: How to Halt & Reverse Alzheimers & Brain Based Diseases (TWT)

As we're exploring the topic of brain based diseases and how they ultimately end up as Alzheimer's or dementia, it's important to understand this: All brain based health issues can be treated, halted, and often reversed the same way other bodily health issues can be... What it takes is uncovering the underlying root causes causing the inflammatory response and then eliminating or rebalancing them... It may be easier said than done, but the truth is that when it comes to your long-term brain health it's absolutely worth going through the process (the sooner the better)...

745: Free Your Mind by Using These Rhythms & Routines (MM)

The more the years pass by the more I realize that getting ahead in any aspect of your life has to do with a focused mindset... And in most cases, it's not usually what you add into your life that sets you up for success, but rather what you take away... This "addition by subtraction" philosophy actually allows you the brain space to then for the very first time see clearly enough what needs to be done to be successful in reaching your goals...

744: Infertility Issues, Breastfeeding & Candida Overgrowth, Congestive Heart Failure, Heart Palpitations, Stubborn Eczema (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!  Jessica: Good Afternoon, I heard Dr. Cabral speak on Melissa Ambrosini's podcast earlier today, and I was blown away with his interview. I'm a 34 year old female who lives in Georgia, and I'm seeking a naturopath who can help with my infertility issues. I currently have an FSH level that is 78, and while my thyroid levels came back normal from a western medicine standpoint, I don't believe the level is normal for me. Am I a good candidate for your services? Can you work with patients remotely? Please let me know as I'd love to set-up a consultation. I look forward to hearing back. Kind Regards, Jessica Ani: Hi, I’m currently breastfeeding my 16 month old and am planning to get pregnant again this year. I had SIBO and candida while I was pregnant and definitely want to be clear for the next baby. I have successfully cleared my SIBO during this time but would like to also get rid of the candida, lose some excess weight and detox before I get pregnant. How can I do this while breastfeeding? I have a lot of lumpy cellulite and fluid retention. I’m on a low carb, low sugar/dairy, no gluten diet. Sorry if this question is too long. I live in Australia otherwise I would become a patient! Thanks Ani Bernard: Hello I was directed to you from one of your avid listeners and supporters that I follow on Instagram (Tyler Jean @functional.foods ) he suggested I pass my query on to you to get a clearer answer. Without further ado here is the deal I am interested in doing a detox of some sort or at least doing some changes in my diet to assist in weight loss as well as just eat a diet that better assists my body to heal from my current situation. I was hoping you may have some insight as to where I should start. However I think you need some info about me to understand what Obstacles I am facing. I am a 29yo male 6ft2 249lbs. I am going through congestive heart failure and have heart disease that I was born with. The current treatment is a host of medication. Eventually I will need a transplant. My concern is that a detox will put me in danger of effecting how these meds work. The other obstacle I face is I am currently on a diet (set by my doctor) that states I am not to have more the 2000mg of sodium/day and I am only allowed to have 64oz of fluid/day. This puts a damper on a lot of detoxes I have found because most encourage and/or require you to ingest a lot more fluids due to the removal of unwanted materials being stripped away and need the extra fluids to help clean them out of the system. Also I have to be careful since I am on the low sodium diet not to overwhelm my system with potassium because with the low amount of fluids and sodium the potassium can potentially be just as harmful. I think a detox is what my system needs to help continue the healing process and help me get to my target weight of 210lbs fully clothed. I think this will be healthier for me and safer when the time comes that I need the transplant. Just don’t want to risk doing it wrong. Sorry this is so long and thank you for listening. Sincerely Bernard Kat: Hi Dr. Cabral. I've been listening to your podcast for quite a while now, and love all of the information you are sharing. I had a question on behalf of a friend, who has been having some issues with brain fog, and having heart palpitations quite randomly (not linked to stress/anxiety as they can happen in the calmest of states). Doctors say he's fine, perfectly healthy heart and have no concerns, but he feels it's still not normal to experience both as often as he does. Alcohol does trigger the palpitations (they will happen the day after some drinks), but that makes me wonder if something else he is ingesting/exposed to on a more regular basis could be eliciting the same reaction? Diana: Hello, I just want to start off by saying that I love listening to your podcast. It's so informative and I love learning from you. Question: I've had eczema all my life and about 4 years ago I decided to make a few drastic changes in order to improve my condition and heal. I gave up all meat and dairy (went mostly vegan), and stopped consuming alcohol. With this I experienced huge improvements in my skin, but never healed completely. More recently I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and have noticed that since giving birth my eczema has been getting progressively worse. During my pregnancy I began to consume meat again (mostly clean meat) because I had been anemic in the past and didn't want to risk it during my pregnancy even though I was taking iron pills. Prior to getting pregnant I was getting ready to do a liver detox to further my healing, but now that I'm nursing I know it's best not to do any type of detox until I'm no longer breastfeeding. What protocol do you suggest I follow to help improve/heal my eczema while I continue to breastfeed? And what type of diet do you suggest I follow? I also noticed that my 2 month old has dry skin as well, is it possible that I've passed eczema on to her?

743: Testosterone Cream, Minimal Change Disorder, White Spots on Cheeks, Ayurvedic Book Recommendations (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Carol: Hi Dr Cabral! I want to start out by saying I absolutely love and very much appreciate the valuable content of your podcast. I started listening about 9 months or so ago when I was searching for information on IF, I found your podcast and I have been listening everyday. A little back ground on me I have my BS in nutrition sciences from Louisiana State University and a NDTR (registered nutrition and dietetic technician) the only thing separating me from RD is an impossible to get into and very expensive internship. I would like to say I am knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition because Hey I have a college degree, but most of the time I do not because I feel that most of the things I have learned at the university setting are very innacurate. I am writing today to ask for your advice and direction for my husband. About 1 year ago he saw a urologist for a vasectomy, prior to the surgery blood tests showed that his testosterone levels were very low, about 100-200. He was given a topical testosterone supplement and would follow up every 3 'months or so to check levels. The supplement, now at the highest dose was working but at last visit it has stopped. Fast forward to about 6 weeks ago the MD prescribed testosterone injections every 2 weeks and his level was still at 104. Since then he has now been instructed to administer weekly. I feel so hopeless bc if I should be so bold to say living with him is very stressful because his stress level is always on high. He is irritable, moody and not always fun to be around. He is also so tired, he had always fallen asleep very easily but he says during the day his fatigue and energy levels come in waves. He eats well, we follow the 80/20 rule, but when he is “on” he is ON with his calories and macros and so on. He works out about days a week. Takes vitamins daily, maybe not the most potent but at least it is something. I have tried telling him. Can you provide any help or guidance?? Thank you so much. Carol Tianna: Hi! I have an autoimmune disease called minimal change disorder and it has relapsed a couple of times this last year. I’m sick of being on high doses of prednisone to keep it under control. I was wonder what naturopathic medicine recommends for my illness. Thanks, Tianna Cristi: Hi Dr. Cabral, Your podcast is such a fabulous resource, and we’re enjoying your daily protocol. I ghave a question about my 9 year old son. He has small white spots on his cheeks that are not noticeable most of the time. If he’s very cold or hot they show up more, or if all the blood rushes to his face, like when he hangs upside down at the park, it’s visible. I believe I first noticed it after we had been out sledding on the cold. It faded as he got warm but never disappeared completely. It could have been there before, and maybe I never noticed it. He’s very fair, and he has gotten sunburned a few times, mostly when he was at camp and did not reapply sunblock. The pediatrician suggested some kind of sun damage, told us to moisturize and to see a dermatologist if it didn’t clear. We will do that, but to be honest, I trust your opinion more, and I want to be prepared when visiting the dermatologist if he tries to give us some kind of steroid cream, which may not be the best. Thank you! Kat: What books would you recommend for someone looking into starting to read more about ayurvedic medicine, functional/natural medicine? I love listening to your podcast and would love some insight on good books to start off with!

Christa: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for this great podcast. I've been listening to daily since I heard you on another podcast about a month ago. I am 42 years old. 5' 7" 130 lb small boned typical type A personality so primarily Vata. I was diagnosed with MS about 11 years ago. I immediately decided to start exercising and eating healthy to give my self a sense of control over a condition I was told I had no control over. I currently workout 5 days a week as well as walk daily and am starting to work yoga back into my routine. I eat a primarily plant based diet. I gave up grains and dairy in 2017 when I decided to stop listening to my doctors who had me on prescriptions for migraines, fatigue, and bladder control on top of the Tecfidera for the MS. All my issues were blamed on MS but after changing my diet I successfully got off all but the Tecfidera. I still have some gut based issues such as bloating, the occasional headache that comes along with flushing (a side affect of the Tecfidera??) I'd like to get off the Tecfidera and figure out what is causing the rest of my gut based issues. I am wondering where to start. Since I had so much success with my recent diet changes I've been wanting to get a food sensitivity test done to see what else could be an issue. One more complication, I had breast implants done 6 months before my MS diagnosis. Not a single doctor has suggested a correlation but recently I've seen a lot of information that suggests this surgery could be the root cause of the MS. I plan on getting explant surgery in the next 12 months so I am not sure what I can do in the meantime and what I should wait to do after the surgery. Thank you for taking the time to read my long email. I appreciate any suggestions and advise you can give. Christa  Hill: Hi Dr. Cabral, Firstly, your podcast has seriously changed my life and I appreciate all your sage advice. My inquiry is regarding alcohol use & SIBO. I am 29 and My GI diagnosed me with SIBO after taking a breath test and I’ve since began the Candida Protocol. I was an athlete in High School & College and had to stick to a strict diet consisting of veggies, only fish, no sweets, and occasional starches. I’ve maintained this diet to present day. I was a pretty heavy drinker in my early 20s and continued to drink on the weekends up until my diagnosis with SIBO. Can alcohol use cause SIBO ? And/or what is the relationship between alcohol use and SIBO ? Thanks! Katie: Can you talk about crohns on a show? Specifically what are the best and worst foods to eat & why? My husband has had a terrible quality of life for the last 15 years or so when it comes to pain & flare ups. He gave up on his medicine & medical doctor after coming to the understanding that what he was taking led to cancer (Cimzia) - he gets by with drinking ensure and naked juice as his main nutrition, toast or cream of wheat for Breakfast and chicken with Mac n cheese or rice as dinner - this is his typical diet for about 6 years) He believes at this point in his journey that veggies will put him in the ER (he’s not tried it) and that milk is one of the only things he can tolerate. I think he needs re education but I’m not sure where to send him (yes, I’ve tried getting him to listen to your podcast) thanks for any thoughts! I owe so much to you in my own personal health journey Amber: Dr. Cabral Where to begin how grateful I am to have stumbled across your podcast about a year ago now! Since then I have been able to implement some of your protocols. Despite lifestyle changes I continue to suffer from cystic acne, with occasional headaches, and brain fog. I am 31 yr female, 5’9 160 lbs, I lift weights regularly with yoga & mobility work. I have had acne since about the age of 15. I have let my skin affect all aspects of my life, and have never felt comfortable in my own skin. I struggle with anxiety because of this. I wrote to you before and now again after I found out my dermatologist of 15 years was now retiring, and despite my many years of commitment to healing my skin naturally, and through my efforts to heal my skin through elimination diet, 21 day detox, and eliminating alcohol, caffeine, sugar and grains I still struggle with my skin. As a personal commitment to myself, I chose to take Accutane. In my last resort and desperation to live life without being at the mercy of how my face looks. I started this the beginning or December 2017, and not even a month in I am beginning to feel heavy pressure in my head, along with mild hair loss, and recently noticing some g.i. upset. Terrible pain in my stomach, clay reddish colored stool, and orange tinge urine. However, I am also just recovering from some stomach flu so I don’t know if this could even correlate with the Accutane. This is extremely concerning, going against my beliefs and values in treating your body holistically, I have resented myself and this decision. I would like to reach out to you one more time, in hopes for your recommendation on where to go from here? I believe my acne is mostly hormonal, I only break out on my face, my skin otherwise is beautiful. what alternative supplements beside DIM do you recommend? If acne is due to dirty blood, how do I begin? What is your input on the drug Accutane and its uses for acne? Despite my horrible side effects, I’m already noticing my skin clearing which is more frustrating. I’m intending on continuing the daily protocol, and loved the way I felt while on the 21 day! Also I believe I must have some food sensitivities, but I noticed more when I was fasting that my ears would become beet red, and become really warm lasting anywhere between 20-60 minutes! This also happens when I eat, I cannot correlate this to one food. However, is definitely happening more frequently. This reaction began before my course of Accutane. Thanks in advance for all the differences you make in peoples’ life’s each day, it’s truly amazing what you do! -Amber Melissa: Hello, My name is Melisa and I am writing to you regrading my husband Nathan who had an injury 4 years ago & is still suffering ongoing headaches 2-4 times per week. We have seeked medical advice from neurologist consultations on several occasions but have been unsuccessful in finding answers or a solution. Please find Nathan's story below of injury and where he is at today. In 2012 we were living in Far North QLD and went for a holiday to Southern WA. Nathan was going out for a surf after 4 months of not surfing. After Nathan got out of the surf straight away he felt like he had an earache (nothing unusual had happened in the surf). We were having to fly in 3 days time & Nathan was concerned about the earache on the plane, so we decided to see a doctor. The doctor advised Nathan he had an earache & also mild conjunctivitis (his eye was a bit droopy and sticking) & prescribed medication for both of these issues. Nathan commenced the treatment. Three days later we flew home to Far North QLD. When we got home Nathan had a headache & the headache went on for 1 week before the left side of his face & head had a funny sensation & he felt congested in his nose. He decided to go to the doctor, the doctor also found Nathan's left eye had dropped & his left pupil was unresponsive. We only have minor medical treatment where we lived so the doctor immediately put Nathan on a flight to Cairns. Upon arrival Nathan had scans & was told he had a dissected carotid artery. He was prescribed medication & advised to have another scan in 1 years time. Prior to the incident Nathan had also had a chiropractic appointment where his neck was manipulated. So we understand the incident was trauma caused by one of these two events. At the anniversary of the incident, Nathan had another scan & saw a Neurologist in Cairns. We were advised the scan showed the artery had completely healed & was back to normal & they were happy with how the artery looked. We advised the Dr, Nathan was still getting regular headaches (at least 2 per week) eye is still drooping when tired & occasionally getting a slight ear ache. The Dr advised to take medication to prevent/relief headaches & advised although the artery has healed perhaps the artery is irritated & is causing symptoms & internally could still require further time to heal & hopefully within time symptoms will stop. However Nathan did not need any further scans or monitoring as artery had healed. 2 years later the headaches were still occurring 2-4 times per week. So Nathan decided to see another Neurologist to get another opinion. Unfortunately the Neurologist could not help and advised Nathan should not be getting headaches. Nathan then decided to try another avenue & booked in to see a Vascular surgeon. Again the surgeon was unable to help, but after further persistence the surgeon advised he would send Nathan's latest 2015 MRI scan away to a radiologist who specialises in vascular imagery. A few months later we received a letter advising the radiologist had viewed Nathan's scans and found an aneurysm on the opposite side to the original dissected artery also. Again this would need yearly scans to monitor them. After not receiving many answers from the medical industry, we decided as a family to change our lifestyle to see if this had an effect. Nathan stopped working to live a stress free / simply life. We also changed Nathan's diet to be a whole foods plant based diet & eliminated all coffee & alcohol. Nathan has been eating a high raw plant based diet based for 3 years now in hopes this would help heal his arteries & reverse the aneurysm. Unfortunately his headaches are still the same to date 2-4 per week & he takes maxi-gesic & naproxen when they are at their worst (2-4 per week) I am writing to you, after listening to your podcast with Melissa Ambrosini which gave me with renewed hope that we need to keep searching for an answer. We live in Australia, I’m wondering if there is anyway to do testing with you to find the best way of eating for Nathan and a solution to his on-going debilitating headaches. Thank you, Kind regards, Melisa.

736: Feminine Health, Hypocomplementemia, Low WBC, Hypnic Jerking, Lung Detox, Assisted Chin/Pull-Ups, THC in CBD Oil, Floating Stool (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Cassidy: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m not sure whether you deal much in feminine health, but I always enjoy listening to your house calls and thought you may be able to help. I’m an overall healthy woman in my 20s. However, I find that during sex, I typically don’t produce much or any of my body’s own natural lubrication, regardless of level of arousal. This dryness always leaves my vagina irritated, itchy and sore for several days after sex. I mentioned it to my doctor and she suggested using a lubricant gel, this does help, but I would like to get to the root of the issue. Not to mention, avoid all the synthetic chemicals in those lubricants. The odd thing is, I believe I produce a normal to above average amount of vaginal discharge during my day to day life. I can rule out any stds as the cause, as I have been tested at my recent OB/GYN visits. Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Elizabeth: I was wondering if I would still get an accurate food sensitivity test result if I have hypocomplementemia? I am very low in C4 and c3 and didn’t want to spend the money on the test if this could affect it? Emily: Dear Dr. Cabral, First and foremost, thank you for all you and your staff have done to help improve my and my family's health over the past year! You are providing the valuable gift of knowledge, as well as ways to apply this knowledge for greater health, which has been priceless. My question is regarding is regarding my 17 year old son. He was diagnosed with celiac disease 5 years ago, which he manages superbly. For two years, his blood test was showing low white blood cell counts, so they had us visit a pediatric hematologist. The hematologist was not concerned at the results and cleared him of any further visits. When I asked my son's celiac doctor if there was any lifestyle changes that we could take to improve this, she said no, however, I am skeptical at this response. I would like to hear your opinion on whether or not there is any lifestyle change(s) we can make to improve my son's white blood cell count? Keep up the excellent work! You are making a real difference!   Rebekah: Hello! My husband is 25 years old and predominately a kapha/endomorph body type. Standard American diet, has an enormous sweet tooth, sedentary, and overweight. Amongst the obvious health issues one thing that happens is hypinc jerking. Most nights it’s a minor twitch here and there for up to 5 in a row and other times it’s he’ll wake me up from my sleep with a jerk that feels like he’s jumping out of bed. The jerking happens pretty much every night while falling asleep. He also moans/wails a lot in his sleep, it sounds like he’s scared. His sleep patterns are very irregular and maybe every couple of months he’ll go through a week or two of insomnia like phases where he’ll sleep about 3-4 hours a night. It breaks my heart to see him in his 20s and already unhealthy and I know that broken or lack of sleep can be incredibly stressful on the body. I know this frustrates him so I’d like to know what could cause and cure this one ailment in hopes that his mind will change concerning the importance of health. Thank you for the help you give to us all   Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks again for being the best and answering more questions of mine! My father-in-law barely survived a fire on Christmas morning. We are so thankful he is alive, but after suffering Carbon Monoxide poisoning, he is having the latter affects of lung tissue damage. He is in his mid-50's, and has never been a smoker. He has been experiencing chest pain which he said is worse when he showers, due to the hot water. Can you make any suggestions for him to clear out the toxins in his lungs and to repair any damage? Thank you for all your help, you really are the best! Angela Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am your #1 fan and have been catching up on all your previous podcasts. You mentioned in a previous podcasts that pull-ups (along with squats, deadlifts, lunges, step ups, etc.) are important to incorporate in our 3x per week full body workouts. Do you have any tips on how to do an unassisted pull-up? I have been lifting weights for years and have yet to successfully complete a pull-up on my own and would like 2018 to be my year. Have a happy and healthy 2018! Judy Wendy: I have ordered CBD oil twice. I understand it does not contain THC. I need to know if this oil will cause any issues during a drug test for employment purposes. I routinely have to submit to drug testing and now that I've started using the CBC oil, I'm a bit nervous about my next drug screen. Thank you for your input. I love the product by the way. Julie: Hi there, should I be concerned about stool that floats? My stool has floated since I can remember and I am now reading the plethora of issues this may potentially be associated with. What is your take on this? Is it something to be tuned into? Any advice would be great. Thank you!

Is This True: Doing Crunches Will Hurt Your Lower Back?

Gone are the days where I take the information I was taught in school and in my textbooks at face value... Granted, most of it is sound advice, but some of it needs to be tested in the real world to see if the research holds up outside of controlled clinical or lab studies... I applied this same questioning methodology to the long held belief that working your abs will hurt your lower back...

730: C-Section Bloating, 5 Health Books, Low Platelets & MDS, Pink Spots, Atrial Fibrillation, Battling Gas, Ceramic Cookware, Absorbing Water (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…  Let’s get started! Lisa: Hi, Dr. Cabral! I am 48 years old and about 175 lbs. I'm always bloated, but I eat healthy. My upper right stomach area is more bloated and distended than the left. My Dr. isn't concerned because of how long it's been like that; assuming it;s from the 4 c-sections I've had in the past. I always feel bloated. I know that stress has me producing Cortisol (based upon my own research). Should I try an elimination diet? Joana: Dear Dr. Cabral, I have been listening and reading the information that you have been giving in your podcast and in your site for a week now. You have a lot of great information. Probably you have talked about this before but I still didn't find it...my question is: if you had a friend who is studying to be a functional or integrative health coach or doctor, which 5 books would you give her as a present? Thank you so much for all that you do. I hope this question is of interest to you.   Louis: Dr. Cabral, I heard you on the Jason Ferruggia podcast and was very impressed with how intuitive you were regarding ectomorphs, training, etc. It really struck a chord with me. That being said, I'm actually writing on behalf of my father. He suffers from an extremely low platelet count and suffers from something called MDS. I was just wondering if you had any suggestions on how he could naturally raise his platelet count. I can be reached at the e-mail address provided. Thank you very much.   Alex: Hello Dr. Cabral, i’ve Been a big fan of your podcast for some time now, been in your Boston office for a massage and an infra-red sauna, done a 7-day detox and follow many of your recommendations. I’m 90% vegetarian and do not take any medications other than biotin, ashwaganda, Vit D, and magnesium or Valerian root (at night). About 6-7 weeks ago I noticed a big bright pink spot under my arm, within the next 2 weeks similar but smaller spots appeared on my chest, stomach and upper legs. There are also multiple smaller spots surrounding these big spots. They are somewhat itchy but not too bad. I went to see a dermatologist who diagnosed me with Pityriasis rosea and gave me cortisone cream. I have not picked up that prescription cream from the pharmacy, but instead tried to use coconut oil, tea tree oil on these spots with no results. Dr. Google also has no info on the root cause or treatment for this condition and basically says that it usually goes away with 8-10weeks on its own. I have not seen any improvement and would like to get your opinion. Can you recommend any treatment? Truly appreciate your help and the education that you provide daily. Thank you!   Bryan: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and have been put on a beta blocker to help control the symptoms. My goal is not to be on medication for my whole life as I am only 32. Other then losing weight, what other suggestions from a naturopathic point of view can I do to help keep my heart in normal sinus rhythm? Thank you for the help! Bryan   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, So glad I found your podcast and appreciate everything you do. I've been battling gas, bloating and constipation for years and was recently diagnosed with SIBO. I listened to episode #544 on "Mono meals" and you mentioned that you don't advise people with weak digestive systems to eat salads but the Candida Protocol recommends a diet high in vegetables. What is the best course of action while on the Candida Protocol ? Cooked over raw vegetables ? Stay away from veggies all together ? Thank you!   Donna: Dear Dr. Cabral Support Team, I listened to a recent podcast on cookware. In local stores I saw ceramic (nonstick) cookware. Is that what is recommended because I wasn't sure about the nonstick coating. Also I saw some spoons/Turners molded from 100% bamboo but also had a slick nonstick coating. Should those be totally wood instead? Respectfully, Donna   Donna: Dear Support Team, My Dr. doesn't think I am absorbing water very well since my skin is dry and my throat gets dry every night through the night. I weigh 128#/ 5'6". I drink approx. 72oz. of water daily. I work out, eat a Dr. Cabral clean diet, Have done the 7 day detox, 90 Candida Gut Cleanse followed by the two supplements to seal it up (Healthy Belly and forgot the other one), a liver cleans. I take magnesium, his Vit. C, Vit. D, a pharmaceutical grade fish oil,Probiotic, Dr. Cabral recommended healthy fats, and I just started on his daily shakes & fruit/veggie powder, and use the counter top Berkey filter with our well water. Any suggestions? Respectfully, Donna  Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/730 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

729: Smelly Feet, Vegan Supplements, NY Labs, Mesenteric Lymphadenitis, Low Libido Test, Low T (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Anonymous: Dr Cabral, thank you so much for taking time to answer all of your community’s questions. My husband has a strong odor to his feet to the point where no spray, no powder can help. He wears work boots all day and does construction in Boston. He’s in the boots for probably close to 12 hours a day. We go through buying him new boots all of the time because they are honestly putrid. We have a boot warmer that is supposed to help but will knock you on your toosh if you walk in the basement. His diet is ok, could be a lot better. Exercise is basically just his work. He wants to start eating better and working out. What could be the cause of this terrible smell coming from his feet? Sincerely a wife who is tired of throwing away socks and buying expensive work boots all of the time. Maxine: Good afternoon! I am writing to confirm that the following products are vegan-- as in no animals or animal byproducts: Activated B-Complex Daily Activated Multi-Vitamin Daily Nutritional Support Shake I just really want to be sure, thank you(: Maxine   Lauren: Hi, I live in NY and am greatly interested in taking the organic acid test. I know the lab you use cant be used in NY; however, I was wondering if you can recommend any other labs or if there is any other way I can get this test. Thank you!  Louise: Dr. Cabral. I am very impressed with your breadth of knowledge and commend the stance you take on health and healing. It is courageous and standout individuals like you who will transform the healthcare and fitness industries for the better. My question pertains to the health of my 13 year-old daughter. Over the years, she has had four bouts of mesenteric lymphadenitis. The attacks of severe abdominal pain sometimes accompanied by vomiting seem to come on fairly suddenly and the after-effects can last weeks. She tested positive for the gluten and casein sensitivity gene, however being a teenager she has not been 100%compliant with her diet, in adition to sneaking in candy and other treats. I understand that many physicians currently consider mesenteric lymphadenitis a nondisease and its symptoms unexplained. In your functional medicine point of view, what could be contributing to her recurring issue and what can be done from a practical standpoint to end her suffering?   Jennifer: Hi Dr. Cabral, My name is Jennifer, and through divine intervention I found you. In July I had a week off of work, so I completed the Cabral 7 day detox. i have never experienced a detox before, so safe to say I had no idea what I was getting into. First off, I came to realize VERY quickly that a large part of my daily routine is thinking, planning, shopping, preparing, and eating food. When you don’t eat for the first 2 days you have free time that you didn’t know you would have. I came to an understanding on how time consuming food really is in our daily lives. in stating that, when day 3 arrived I was so happy to incorporate food again.The plan was so simple and easy to follow. I thought, “ Im going to breeze through this” however, I was very wrong. I work in a salon with many many chemicals in my daily life. Not to mention the roller coaster of poor food choices in my life and what damage had built up from that. Prior to the detox I could work out endlessly and really not budge the scale at all. Weight has been a life long issue for me. So as day 3 went on my body became really weak and I didn’t have the energy I had before when it came to my workouts. My brain was starting to reel from the detoxification happening and I actually was uncomfortable in my own skin. By day 4 I felt skittish and afraid to even talk to people. I felt so terrible that I was worried I wasn’t going to make it to the end. I knew I was toxic due to a lifetime of exposure to unhealthy things, but wow! Well, day 5 came and it was like the dark cloud lifted! I felt amazing! Each day became better and better. I didn’t have a starting weight but knew about where I was. When I was done I did weigh myself and I lost probably 5-7 pounds. I continued strong on your eating plan but have wavered quite a bit in the last couple months but have continued to lose weight. My body and brain feel better than they have in a very long time. I plan to do my next 7 day detox in the next month. So thank you for your research and creation of your supplements and detox. I listen to as many of your podcasts as I can. I recommend you constantly. My first question is regarding my daughter. When she was around 7 or 8 she showed me this rash on her hands and said when her hands come in contact with any form of water this is what happens. This white raised bumpy skin was between her fingers and almost looked like blisters or skin that was going to peel. Fast forward to now, she is 18, and the rash has come and gone since then. It now covers most of her palms. When it is severe the skin pulls tight and can be painful until her hands dry out. Usually it takes about twenty to thirty minutes for her hands to completely return to normalcy. When her hands are dry, you can see remnants of whits spots on her palms. It does this in any type of water and can be severe to slight; sometimes it goes away all together. We have tried organic products as well, and that helps, but it doesn’t go away, so we think its water itself. We have only been to one doctor and they have no idea what it is. At the moment it's at a medium degree. I attached a picture, and wonder if you might know what it is or what to do. My second and final question is regaurding your weightloss blood test. I have been experiencing a steady decline in my sex drive for many years and as of now I virtually have no sex drive at all. Would that specific test measure my hormone level to see if thats whats wrong? Thank you for your time. I look forward to your advice! I tried to attach the photo of my daughters hands but it won't attach. If you would like to see a photo please just let me know where to send it and I will. Thanks again!! Jennifer  Jon: Hi Stephen, was recently introduced to your podcast from the Elite Man Podcast was was impressed with your diverse knowledge, I have spent all day today listening and will continue to listen to the great advice you give. To cut straight to the point, I had blood tests done 6 months ago which showed very low testosterone and very high estrogen. After scans to confirm there were no problems with my pituitary I was put on Clompihene which worked very well for a week then my mood began to decline, next bloodwork showed my testosterone had raised slightly but my estrogen had more than doubled! I was eventually put on a HRT protocol of Sustanon 250, Anastrazole (to control estrogen) and HCG. I have been on this for 3 months now and felt very little benefit, and some areas such as libido have actually got worse! I would like to come off and try to restore natural healthy levels of hormones. At the time of my diagnosis I was working a very stressful job with long hours, suffering insomnia, training (weights and cardio) hard 6+ days a week and not eating as well as I could have. My bloods also revealed I was low in Vitamin D and Zinc but the doctors did not think this was relevant. After lots of research it does not seem surprising my hormone levels were suffering! I have since stopped the Sustanon but continued with the HCG and will switch to clompihene for 6 weeks in an attempt to restart my body's natural function before coming off all medication. I have been supplementing with Zinc, ZMA, Vit D3 and Maca Root powder for a month now.

726: Why Food Sensitivities Make You Feel Inflamed & Swollen? (WW)

Most of us are familiar with life-threatening food allergies like having a peanut anaphylactic reaction, but being "sensitive" to certain foods goes much deeper... Did you know that the weight gain, wellness issues, or brain fog you're experiencing may be tied to "healthy" foods you're eating that unexpectedly trigger delayed immune reactions in your body? These food based reactions cause inflammation days after eating the food, which then in turn can create other more pronounced symptoms that we label as "dis-ease..."

723: Supplement Overload, Sinus Problems, Herpes & Chocolate, Arthritis, Menstrual Headaches (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…  Let’s get started! Cristi: Hi Dr. Cabral, I apprecate the work you do more than you know. I ordered the daily protocol package to try with my husband and maybe kids too, but I do have other questions. Mostly, I’m wondering which supplements we’re currently taking would still be necessary, and in what amounts. For example, if I want to take additional vitamin D because it’s winter and we do live in a suburb of Boston as well, would I need more K2 than is included in the daily formula? Currently we take D3 with K2, and I know there is K2 in the formula, but is it enough to counterbalance extra D3? I also use collagen peptides on a daily basis as my protein in the morning. If I want to continue that, will that be too much protein in addition to the shake? The collagen peptides are listed as having 20 g of protein in two scoops, but I have also heard that this is not a complete protein. I do like the benefits of the collagen peptides and bone broth when I do not have the peptides, so I’m just wondering how to work this in to my regimen without getting excessive protein. I also take curcumin, Ashwaganda, and glucosamine condroitin. I do not think these are included in either the fruit and vegetable blend or the shake, so I believe I would continue these for joint health and stress? We also take a grapeseed extract from Pure synergy, but I see that is included in one of the blends. I’m assuming that would be redundant then? I am looking to cut down on the number of supplements we take and streamline a little bit. In addition, if we are going to do this for the whole family, it will end up costing a bit. I wish we could afford a consult or functional medicine testing right now, but we cannot. If more information is helpful, I take Synthroid for low thyroid, but I now have a very low-dose .88 MCG. My husband is on no medications, but he has untreated sleep apnea. I have many allergies, so I would like to get testing and try the allergy protocol when I can afford it. I exercise daily, and I am at a healthy weight, and my husband has recently lost quite a bit of weight, and is at a healthy weight too. He does not exercise, but he is a contractor, and his job has him moving all the time. We eat what might be called a Paleo diet, but with emphasis on vegetables, much as you recommend. I, in particular, have always tried to optimize my nutrition, and at age 43, and I am hoping to tweak a few things and figure out how to take care of my allergies without taking Claritin daily, why I get headaches, and why my digestive system seems very sensitive sometimes. For various reasons, life has been very high stress for a long time. We live in a suburb of Boston, and it is my dream to one day visit your wellness center. I am so sorry for the long question! I understand if it’s too much. Thanks, Cristi   Jackie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I started seeing a ND about three years ago after I attended a gym in SF. I started having symptoms of adrenal fatigue and I started noticing I wasn't digesting food well and had high cortisol levels. I took food panels, conducted blood tests, acupuncture and tried some elimination diets. All of this aided in the healing of my gut as well, I did find out I had leaky gut from my food panels. I recently visited the same gym earlier this year that had sparked some of these similar symptoms I had previously experienced. I am thinking my body is having some sort of histamine response or possibly an allergy to toxic mold. I have done more blood work, new food panels and other elimination diets as my current ND and I think it may be food and environmental. I am also wondering if it is something in my apartment. My symptoms are sinus pressure, headaches, ear pressure/wax build up, eye strain and focus, I sometimes get a little light headed or dizzy standing up, mucus, post nasal drip, my chest is tight and I have been wheezing a little bit. Some days are better than others. I wanted to get another opinion and advice on what next steps should be. Thank you!   Anonymous: I am on Day 31 of the CBO and it is going great and relatively easy. Unfortunately I just got a herpes (HSV II) outbreak and I have listened to your previous podcasts on Herpes and remedies. However, the Super Lysine, I cannot take because it has garlic and I can't have the Apple Cider Vinegar because of being on the CBO. I just upped my zinc and I will add magnesium spray and meditation, etc. Fortunately, my outbreaks are mild, but they hurt my mind and soul! I had the HSV II confirmed by a blood test when I was pregnant 3 years ago. It is something that definitely has changed my intimacy with my husband (he does not fear it at all) but I know there can be asymptomatic outbreaks and it makes me paranoid. I went a year without any outbreak and now I'm getting them every couple of months. Sleep is still a little elusive with a toddler, so maybe it's lack of sleep causing the stress. Or whenever I try to add running to my workouts, it seems to cause an outbreak. I was adding two days a week of 30 minute jogs and two weeks after that, I get an outbreak. Maybe running just is not for me? I was trying to add the 30 minutes of straight cardio after hearing your podcast on cardio. I also notice an outbreak after I get extremely angry about something, which did just happen. I eat super healthy and I do not drink alcohol (I have had maybe 4 glasses of wine this past year - pretty good for a first time mom!!), I do indulge in dark chocolate daily. Although, being on the CBO, I just started having 100% cacao after the initial 21 days. In one of your podcasts on herpes you say you've helped people fully eliminate (or cause dormancy) with herpes. I could really use this in my life, especially with wanting to have another child and not wanting to have this get in the way of that process or the delivery process. ******To do further work in an aim to fully eliminate the virus, do I need to schedule a consultation with you?***** Thank you as ALWAYS!   Dave: Good Afternoon A friend forwarded your podcast to me awhile ago. I try and read the ones that pertain to me but somewhere along the way I might have missed anything that deals with Arthritis Diets. Two and a half months after surgery in December 2015, psoriatic arthritis hit me in my feet and osteo-arthritis in my knees. Before my surgery I was walking the golf course carrying my bag with no issues. After surgery I became a cripple. I couldn’t get up from a chair, climb stairs let alone swing a club. I have sorely missed golf for two years now. I am 68 years old and 6 weeks ago I read an article on the importance of diet. (duh) The article did not specifically deals with diet concerning arthritis so I did some more research on foods that cause inflammation. I eliminated red meat, dairy, sugar and processed foods. I stick to veggies, fruit and fish. I do cheat on occasion and treat myself to chicken but that is just for some variety. Organic as much as I can find. Since I really enjoy your approach to life from every angle I would appreciate your thoughts and help to get me back on the golf course again. The last 3 weeks I have noticed a marked improvement which I am attributing to the “new” diet routine. I also do some Physio, CBD and an occasional rum&coke. Enbrel and methotrexate are helping with the psoriatic feet. I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas   Mari: You have been so helpful throughout my health journey. I have noticed within the past year that either the day before and when I am already menstrating that I get these intense headaches that seem like sinus headaches. I get really bad neck pain, ear pain, temple throbbing and I get really moody as well. I have deep pains under my eyes and around my sinus area. There just feels like so much pressure and tension in my ears and my face. I get extremely irritable a few days before and during. I am on birth control and plan to come off soon and am hoping this doesn’t get worse by coming off.

722: Plaque Build Up, High Blood Pressure, Contraception, Chia Seeds, Circulation (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Donna: Dr. Cabral thank your for the excellent service you provide. I am an active 68 year old female. My only medication has been Omeprazole for GERD and Barrett’s Esaphogus which my Gastro has prescribed for 15 years. Would love to get off this but haven’t found a way. I completed your 2 week Detox and continue to use DNS, Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics. History of testing/lab work for 2016-2017. First my Total cholesterol has been high for about 15 years since I had a hysterectomy and went through menopause with a 12 lb weight gain - I rejected statins. February 2016 had micronutrient testing and Cardio Metobolic Test through SpectraCel. High cholesterol with dense cholesterol particles showing high risk for cardio vascular disease. August 2016 had Lifeline screening - Cholesterol total 254; but my carotid artery, peripheral arteries showed no plaque and CRP in normal range. 2017 slowly lost 12 lbs. Second Lifeline screening in October 2017 total cholesterol drops to 180; however, my carotid artery showed slight plaque and CRP moved from normal to low risk. So now I’m concerned. I continue to eat healthy and maintain my weight at 120 - I’m about 63 inches. Only other issue I can’t clear up is a fungus toenail. What will reverse the plaque and dense cholesterol particles? Sorry this is so long. Would be happy to make an appointment to discuss this with one of your practitioners. Thanks so much. Donna Michael: I have high blood pressure, aside from that I am an essentially healthy 58 year old who eats a mostly whole foods plant based diet. What tests do you recommend to determine root cause? I have to admit I am a bit skeptical about hair analysis and have very short hair anyway so may not be able to get enough to analyze. I know Dr. Dennis Goodman recommends the Mg RBC to determine how much Mg is actually making it to the red blood cells. What other steps/protocols/products do you recommend to lower my BP? Should they be used without testing first? Thank you! Mel: Hi, love your work!! What are your recommendations for baby's first foods.....conventional advice is fortified cereal not real food. In addition, if breast feeding is hot possible (mum returning to work) which formula would you precribe ( dairy free?), Also what do you recommend for contreception eg following having a baby I am not sure what is the healthiest option after being on pill for 13 years and hearing mixed messages about copper IUDs. Where do you point women to get best information? Thanks for your wisdom! Melissa: I just found you thru the essential oil revolution. Love your podcast! My question is: I have always taken plant based omega3s thru chia. I also follow Dr. Stephen Gundry. He has put chia on his "do not eat" list. What are your thoughts. I am very confused. thank you! Katarina: My mom, who’s in her mid-50s, was recently diagnosed with scleroderma and suffers from raynauds and arthritis. Doctors said that she has caught it early (hasn’t spread to other areas - just fingers/hands) but I’m wondering if you had any tips for lessening her symptoms and inflammation? I would rather her go the natural route and halt the progression of this if possible. Thank you so much - I love your podcast! Meg: hello , is there a Canadian functional medical doctor that you recommend? with the exchange these test and one on one will get a bit too expensive...thanks for your time : ) Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/722 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

720: How to Transform Your Body in Just 6 Weeks (TT)

It's unfortunate right now that in our culture certain dogmas or mindsets get formed that become so rigid no new information is allowed to enter in... One of those areas is without a doubt the fitness field. "Experts" will spend years building a name for themselves based upon a certain style of training, but then find themselves in so deep that they can't turn back - Essentially their programming has become their namesake... It's my belief that you must absorb all information (from great minds around the world) and then use what is applicable for yourself in order to create a personalized approach to health & fitness... On today's #CabralConcept 720 I'd like to share with you how you can transform your body in just 6 weeks by combining the best of the best in training and nutrition - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/720 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

719: The Done for You Complete Low Thyroid Protocol (WW)

I've gotten so many questions on how to heal from Hashimoto's and low thyroid symptoms such as brain fog, thinning hair, fatigue, cold hands/feet, and low mood that I wanted to create a "how-to" show on what you need to do to rebalance your body... Although there are thousands of Functional Medicine doctors and practitioners that help patients and clients everyday to recover from thyroid issues, it's not very well known in the conventional medicine world... After all, if you're diagnosed with Hashimoto's, low thyroid, or any of the symptoms above you're most likely only given the one option to take a thyroid medication for the rest of your life - But how does that help rebalance the body?  It doesn't...

718: The “Big 5” Lab Tests Everyone Should Run (TWT)

There are dozens of what are called "sub-clinical" lab tests that can literally reveal to you what your underlying root cause health imbalances are, but unfortunately you'll most likely never hear about them... The reason they're kept from you is simply because they do not "diagnose dis-ease," which means that pharmaceuticals cannot be prescribed - which also means that health insurance will not cover them... Unfortunately, these are the labs that could save lives. They'll tell you far in advance what your hormone, gut dysfunction, mineral, vitamin, omega-3s, food sensitivity and other biomarkers are, so that you don't have to wait for the dis-ease to come for you... This is ultimately how I figured out what was wrong with my failing body and how I finally begin to heal - It's now my mission to share what those lab tests were with you...

Sometimes I feel compelled to do a show that on the outside may not seem like it has anything to do with helping people get well, lose weight, or live longer...

716: Pilonidal Cyst, Red Eyes, Kapha Spices, Macronutrient Split, Nutrition Books, Putting It All Together (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Mariellen: Thank you for all that you do. I have had a pilonidal cyst for the past three weeks that has been so painful. It hurts to sit and I cannot lay on my back when I go to sleep at this point. I sit all day at my job, 40 hours a week 5 days a week. I am 23 and a female. I have no dairy or gluten in my diet. I am very sensitive to sugar and recently feel as if I have candida. I really do not want to get this drained. I have had this before but I feel like it went away on its own or maybe just never was this bad. It's embarrassing and I am looking for more of a natural route. I do not want to have to live like this, but I am in so much pain. Everything I do irritates it.   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, Happy Holidays! I am in my late 20s and have been experiencing chronic red eyes since I was a teenager. They don't hurt or itch and my vision is excellent but they're just always red. I've used "Clear Eyes" or "Visine" eye drops every single day for the past decade to clear the red. I get close to 8 hours of sleep everyday, I am physically fit and eat a fairly clean diet (no processed food, no dairy, gluten free, cheat meal 1-2 times a week). Both my parents occasionally have slightly red eyes, but not as severe as mine. I've had full blood work done by various PCPs since my early 20s and the results have been outstanding. The red eyes don't necessarily bother me but people often ask if I'm tired or my eyes look like I just smoked marijuana! LOL. Can this be part of an underlying health issue ? Love your work, Anonymous   Jill: You mentioned on a podcast that when you studied in India, you helped make capsules that had hot spices in them, to balance the kaffa body type. I know hot and spicy foods can help, but I don’t prefer eating them. Can you recommend something similar to what you made in India, that we have access to in North America?   Chris: Hey Doctor Cabral! I feel a little stuck as to finding the best diet for myself. I am a 26 year old 6'1 175lb male. I eat a fairly high protein diet, 30-40% of all of my calories because that's where I find I feel my best. I know a high protein diet can be hard on the kidneys and overall health but when I eat higher carbs I get sleepy ie insulin spikes and when I try to switch to higher fat I notice my skin gets really oily. I have a PPARG CC gene which I'm pretty sure affects both fat and carb metabolism and according to DNA fit results, based on all of my genes I have medium sensitivity to fat metabolism and High sensitivity to carbohydrates, so I'm not exactly sure what a good Macronutrient split would be for me to aim for. Any insight is much appreciated. Thanks for everything you do, you are my go to for all things health and wellness! Kevin: Hi, My name is Kevin and I was wondering what books you would recommend to learn more about nutrition and how it impacts our body, especially from a training aspect. Thank you Kevin Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been listening to your show for a few weeks now and have really been enjoying it. For the past 7 years I have been experiencing confusing symptoms which have continually gotten worse and the past two years have been more and more frustrating. I have been to about 5 natural health doctors and followed their recommendations without any relief, I have seen acupuncturists, chiropractors and done a lot of research on my own all to no avail. I am constantly constipated, I am lucky if I have one (incomplete) BM per day. I have tried Magnesium (worked for a few months but now has the opposite affect and just makes me more bloated and constipated), natural laxative tea (Smooth Move, etc.), probiotics (worked short term and now have the opposite affect as well), psyllium husk pills (sometimes works) which have all worked for short periods of time and then begin to make me more constipated. I also get very bloated so by the time I go to bed I am so uncomfortable I can't fall asleep for a while. Along with the bloating comes muscular aches and weakness particularly in the low back and hip flexors however overall general weakness. Most nights I ask my husband to sit on my back because it is the only temporary relief I can get. This usually starts around 3pm and then gets worse until bed time. I have had my food sensitivities tested and have followed that diet for about 6 months with no change in symptoms. I haven't noticed any correlation between the symptoms coming and something that I have done or not done, just the time of day. I also got a complete blood panel done about a year and a half ago (by a naturopathic doctor) because I have not gotten my period in 6 years. It showed that I barely have any estrogen, progesterone or testosterone in my body. The ND had me start taking supplements to calm and support my brain and I took progesterone for the last two weeks of every month. At first, my body loved the progesterone and most of my symptoms cleared up however after about three months they all returned. I then moved and saw another ND who had me take estradiol every night and progesterone Days 14-26. I noticed an increase in energy and my period came back but a different doctor told me I was taking too much estradiol and told me to stop and my period has not returned. I saw an endocrinologist after that who also put me on estrogen patches and progesterone days 10-20 and this time I noticed no improvement in how I felt, I only felt worse. I am so tired of being passed around to different doctors that tell me all I need to do is gain weight and I will be fine when every time I do gain weight, I feel significantly worse. (I currently am 5'7 and weight about 127. I work out regularly and eat a mostly clean, whole food diet with limited sugar, dairy and grains. I can't help but feel everything is connected but I don't know what the missing puzzle piece is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!!

715: Ingredient Review, Look Pregnant, High Hemoglobin A1c, Episcleritis, Multi-Vitamin Recommendation (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Andrea: Good evening! I have been listening to your podcast for months now and am so thankful for them! Each episode is jam packed with information to optimize my health and teach me so I can share with others. I am a personal trainer and have been approached by people who take and sell Isagenix Products. I am not sure if you have heard of this line, but wanted to get your thoughts on the products. Thank you so much in advance! -Andrea   Lily: Hi Dr. Cabral! I absolutely love your podcast - especially the house calls. There are so many different subjects you tackle, and it’s so great that you give reference to specific episodes if listeners want to know more about them. I’ve learned so much from you, and can’t thank you enough for that. Now, I have a health question which I hope you can help with: my problem is that I feel bloated, look 6 months pregnant and have flatulence almost after every meal. I’m 39 years old and have had this problem for maybe 10-15 years. I’ve been vegan for 5 years now, don’t eat gluten or sugar, have regular bowel movement every morning and I work out 5-6 days a week, do yoga, not really stressing out too much. I only eat raw foods (fruit) in the morning, in my smoothie. Cutting dairy and gluten has helped a little bit, but it’s still pretty bad. I also do intermittent fasting, use probiotics and digestive enzymes, but nothing is helping :( Other than PCOS, I don’t have any health conditions that I’m aware of. So, what do you think is the problem? What’s would be the best thing to try to get better? I live in the Netherlands, so can’t order any of your tests unfortunately, but any advice on how to start treating this would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks so much in advance! Thomas: Hello Dr. Cabral I love your podcast. I am a 43 year old male 6'2" 175 eat very healthy gluten free a and exercise almost daily in some form. I have had a blood test and was told my HEMOGLOBIN A1C was 5.7 a bit high. Like I said I eat very healthy and even have a very low sugar diet. I went on a 30 day NO sugar diet and did the test again. I had the same exact results they did not budge. I then decided to test my blood sugar on my own through out the day. Before and after meals, early in the morning and everything came out great. Very good readings. So my question is should I be concerned that my HEMOGLOBIN A1C is 5.7 and can not be able to change that? For the record my parents and one of my sisters also has the same exact reading 5.7. If there is anything you think I should do please let me know. Thanks Thomas   Michael: Stephen: I have been experiencing inflammation in either of my eyes for the last 24 months. I went to primary care and an eye doctor who called the issue “episcleritis”. Frequency was either eye being inflamed every 60 days or so. Doctor prescribed an artificial tear product that didnt seem to change the frequency. They tested for rheumatoid arthritis and did not find anything. Last May, I added a daily multi-vitamin and an extra C tablet to my regimen. I went 6 months before I had a recurrence...since then I have had several days of redness/inflammation/pain in either eye. Is there another recommendation besides the continued increase of vitamin intake (preventive)? I typically double up in vitamin C and take ibuprofen during the inflammation events. Is there another recommendation for treatment during the event? Appreciate your podcast...heard you on EOFire and appreciated your approach/insight. Thanks. MLC  Angelita: I am 63, 5'6" , 140lbs. Exercise on a very regular basis. Love my smoothies, eat well and exclude anything white in my diet. Am on medication for cholesterol, blood pressure and Paxil. I am confident that these meds could have been avoided if I had been more informed of diet when I was younger. Throughout the last 40 years, I have been always physically active and hope to continue. I just discovered your insightful podcasts. I am truly confused whether I need to take multi-vitamins. There are so many out there. What do you recommend for someone my age? II live in Quebec, Canada and our winters are quite long. Do I need a mineral boost throughout this season?

710: The 5 Coaches You Need to Find in Life (MM)

Typically, we make the mistake in life about assuming that finding a coach is reserved just for those athletes looking to improve in their sport... However, finding a local coach, virtual mentor, or proven plan can be used in any area of your life in order to enhance your performance in an area that you want to improve...

709: Skin Bumps, Neck Problems, Clean Water Sources, Progesterone Supplements, Coffee Enemas vs. Detox (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!  I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Carla: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a question about these small (1/16th to 1/8th inch), flat topped, skin coloured, bumps on the back of my hands. I've had them since early spring and I've been to my naturopath about them, but they are persistent and don't seem to be responding to treatment. He said they were a virus of some sort and recommended putting tea tree oil on them. When I first started the tea tree oil they seemed to respond by bringing larger painful ones to the surface (they are not normally painful). But after that they have seemed to stop responding and come and go as they please, sometimes lasting for months. The painful ones are gone and now they are just skin coloured bumps again. They are staying on the backs of my hands, with one or two by the wrist or first joint of finger. I've minimized tea tree oil use as it's made my skin raw and picking them off just makes them grow back. I've spent hours trying to find similar photos online of this condition but have had no luck. I was thinking they could be from weightlifting gloves I wear at the gym, although I stopped wearing them after they started. Any suggestions on treating this would be much appreciated, thank you! Carla  Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral My question is regarding my neck. It seems to go out a lot and I have to go to the Chiropractor on a regular basis. Sometimes its as simple as reaching for something, that seems to put it out. When I asked my Chiropractor, he said that stress can cause the same ones to go out. On my last visit, he found that my Atlas and L-2 were out, which was causing horrible headaches. I really want to do my weight workout but I'm afraid of pulling my neck out of place again from lifting the weights to do bicep curls or fly's. Do you know what might cause this to happen so often and is there any way to strengthen my neck to prevent this from continuing? Also, can you give me any tips on proper stance when doing bicep curls so that I prevent injury? Much appreciate any advise. Thank you Jen  Donna: Thank You Dr. Cabral for all you do to help people live healthy! I listened to Episode 286 on water filters. We have well water a long with a water softener using salt pellets. We do use the counter top Berky for drinking water. Is the water softener & salt pellets a problem and if so, what do you suggest? Do you recommend Berky shower head, Culligan, or Aqua Bliss for well water? Also, we will be going out of state for vacation, what do you recommend for our family for clean water? What about a water filtered bottle and what kind/brand? Thank You, Donna C.  Donna: Dr. Cabral, I am 51 year young lady and a friend strongly suggests I take Jon Lee's ProgesterAll natural balance progesterone cream. She says it prevents cancer, osteoporosis, and balances hormones. My Chiropractor/nutritionist says the product is good but doesn't see the need for me to take it now and I don't know of any symptoms that would show I do or what they would be. He wants me to continue to eat healthy, exercise, and think well. What do you say and are we ideally not suppose to need this at any point in age? Also, are you familiar with the Eat Well, Move Well, Think Well Lifestyle Wellness Corp. certification through James Chestnut? There are not many wellness Drs. in the US with that certification but I was able to take the course through my Drs. (being the only two Drs. in MO) and it's really been helpful. Respectfully, Donna C.  Nikki: Anonymous question: I do a coffee enema 2-3 times per week. Is there a need for any other type of detox? Thanks for the info! Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/709 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

708: Leaky Gut Food Test, Rosacea/Raynauds, Wrist Test, Cervical Issues, Bulimia Recovery, Body Falls Asleep (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm a long time listener and have used some of your tests and products. I truly appreciate everything you do. My question for you is about my recent food sensitivity test results. Out of the three levels of reactivity (high, moderate, mild), I was moderately high for dairy and moderate for 22 other foods, such as nuts, gluten, green beans, peas, soy, coconut, and eggs. This seems like a lot of foods to have a sensitivity to so I'm wondering if I should do your SIBO/Candida protocol a 2nd time (did it earlier this year) in case I have SIBO/Candida issues again or if I have to just omit these foods for a while to give my body a rest. As always, appreciate any insights you can share on how best to move forward. Zoe: hi Dr Cabral, another question for you to kindly answer - i wondered if you had any thoughts how to manage a combination of rosacea and rayneuds (as, they appear to me, to be equal and opposites) - ie what is good for rayneuds - like saunas, keeping warm, spices - is bad for rosacea. Thanks, as always. Zoe Jenmarie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am trying to figure out my body type and what diet works best for my body type. I am 5'6" weigh about 135 lbs, my shoulders are as wide as my hips, Smaller breasts, long neck, and If I put my middle finger and thumb around my wrist, my thumb overlaps my middle finger. Can you tell me what body type this is and recommend what diet I can benefit from the best? I am training for a marathon as well so I want to feel and look my best. Thank you so much for all your advise. Jenmarie   Jenett: Hello Dr. Cabral, Over the past month, I have been feeling increasingly fatigued, have had a lot of headaches, neck pain and overall weakness. I had blood work done and found I am low on Iron but I've been taking it for a while now, with little improvement. I try to drink coffee to give me an alert boost but it doesn't help much. As much as I love coffee, it doesn't love me, as It never fails that I breakout after drinking it for more than once a week. Why is this, and what could all of these symptoms be a sign of? IS there a test I could run to determine what is going on? Many thanks, Jenett   Kelly: Hello Dr. Cabral. I love your podcast and listen every day! I am a 31 year old female that has suffered from on-again/off-again bulimia since I was 15. The root of my bulimia has always been my desire to lose weight. I am VERY pear-shaped (medium sized on the top, very large in the hips, thighs, and butt) and have always been overweight despite infinite futile attempts, which always leads me back to bulimia. Two questions- FIRST QUESTION: Can you speak to why some women have such large bottom halfs? I have been taking DIM, Calcium D-Glucarate, adrenal support herbs, extremely clean vegan diet, as well as progesterone cream on days 14-28 of my cycle to try to balance out my hormones after blood tests revealed almost non-existent progesterone levels and average to above-average estradiol levels. SECOND QUESTION: What are the long term effects of bulimia? I have always suspected that my bulimia habit is working against my weight loss efforts due to an insulin rollercoaster. Thank you for your time! Katie: I love all the tips and education you share, thank you! My question is about what could cause areas of my body to “fall asleep” During a yoga flow? I know it typically has something to do with circulation but I’m moving and breathing yet seem to be the only one in my class that constantly has to come out of a pose to “shake” the tingling feeling in my legs, arms & back. I’ve asked a couple of my teachers and mentioned it to other students and they were confused - like they’d never heard of that before. It happens a lot when I sleep, too, but that seems more normal. Is this an indication of a problem that the “google dr” just doesn’t know about?

705: The Truth Behind Your 3 Main Meals Per Day (WW)

Did you know that it's only been over the past 100 years or so that we've followed what we now consider to be a "normal" breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Somehow, we've been corrupted by corporate marketing agendas to get us to eat a certain way in order to over consume certain foods that they mass produce... The problem is that this style of eating is making us sick one bite at a time and since the progressions is so slow we never make the connection that our health issues stem from what we're eating (and when)...

703: The One Thing to Focus On to Achieve Your Goal (MM)

It's partly media driven and partly the society we've grown up in, but our conditioning has been so warped that we come to expect immediate results... And when we don't get results that week or maybe even the same day, we throw in the towel and give up on the plan we felt was going to get us the results we were searching for...

702: #1000, Dermatographia, Methamphetamine Detox, RA Food Test, Book Delay, Impetigo, Nutrition Book Recommendation (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…  Let’s get started! Alexis: Hi Dr Cabral, I am slowly working my way through your podcast and have to say that they are life changing. They have actually replaced my music while I work out.  I learn so much each time. I am needing some guidance on where to begin. I am wanting to have some of your functional lab test performed at the beginning of the year but not sure which one to start with. I live a healthy lifestyle, work out 6 days a week with weights and hiit/Tabata, rarely eat out and buy all organic. The time I go to bed I am learning is far to late (between 12-1 am).  I have been having odd issues creep up over the last 2 years. I have developed a skin disorder called dermatographia, also called skin writing. Basically when I scratch an itch it gets really red and swells. I also have high cortisol levels (24 in the morning and around 21 at 5pm). My cortisol binding globulin is also high. I struggle with anxiety and have all my life. My fasting glucose is also a little high (around 100); however my a1c is normal at 5.1. Lastly, I have a sore in my nose that I cannot get to heal. My initial thought was pre diabetes, but I am not overweight and with my a1c being normal, I am stumped as to what is going on. I am a 33 yr old female, 5'7", 133 lbs. any insight would be greatly appreciated.   Thank you so much!  Lance: Hi Dr, I work with people who have long-term illegal drug use in their past. My clients are in early recovery and I firmly believe that nutritional changes can prevent more negative consequences in their lives. I will be using your MM podcasts to uplift and help them set new goals for success. What type of nutritional changes would you initially suggest for people who have anywhere from 5 - 30 plus years of Methamphetamine use? Denise: I have RA that I am trying to control with the AIP protrocal but after 2 years  of this I am still having problems. If I try the FOOD sensitivity  test would it show much when I have been on such a restricted diet . I HAVE severe brain fog and some hand joint inflammation and bad hair loss. Do you or your team have any advice for me. I recently  found your podcasts and love it. I hope you can help me. I HAVE SEEN 2 functional  medicine doctors that did a lot of testing but it did not help much. I went to someone who reads energy and she did help  some by adding sunflower oil that stopped the dehydration problem. Then adding B vitamin helped some brain dysfunction. Any help would be appreciated.  SINCERELY  DENISE  Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral, My name is Gary from Philippines and I'm interested with your book - Rain Barrel Effect. Don't you have any paperback version of the book? I'm interested because I've believe in reversing ailments and my son was diagnosed with autism and I'm following GAPS diet for him and we're seeing improvements. Hope to hear from you. Regards, Gary 1,000th Question: Bree: Hi Dr. Cabral, My 3 year old son has had recurrent impetigo breakouts around his mouth. He was prescribed a topical antibiotic ointment which I put on the sores as soon as they start. It usually takes about 2 weeks for them to clear up. It just doesn't seem normal for him to be constantly getting these sores. There must be something wrong at a deeper level. He's generally healthy otherwise. No major health issues, typical 3 year old. He does have a terrible diet. He pretty much refuses to eat anything green. Sometimes I can get him to drink a smoothie but it has to be pretty mild for him to drink it...so mostly fruit and a bit of spinach. I'm thinking my next step is to get the sores cultured....ugh! What are your thoughts?? Thank you SO much!!!  Kevin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering if you could provide me with 2 nutrition books that most impacted you? I am going in the nutrition/fitness field and crave to learn more about the topic. Thank you, Kevin Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/702 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

701: Hair Falling Out, Travel to India, Afternoon Brain Fog, Swollen Lymph, Cell Food (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!  This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!  Check out today's questions: Marina: Dr. Cabral & Team, before I start I'd just like to thank you for everything you do! You are such an incredible human being and you have inspired me to pursue my education in the medical field to HEAL and not just mask symptoms. I listen to your podcast everyday and have learned so much over the past year, you truly as remarkable and I wish the best for you and your practice. I am a 21, going on 22 year old female living in Southern California. I am currently studying at the University of California Irvine after transferring from a CC. I tend to be a very stressed person, maybe due to my perfectionist type A personality. Aside from striving for perfection in school, I also strive for perfection in my health. Over the past 2 years I have struggled with my eating behavior and body views. Sometimes I binge eat and have just developed a disordered relationship with food. I workout 4-5 times a week because i genuinely love it and for the most part eat pretty healthy, except when I overindulge, which is typically in processed, sweet foods such as bread, cookies, ice cream, cake. I've learned a ton about health and nutrition from your podcast and have tried to include as many health foods possible in my diet, again, except for the times i overeat or binge. The past 3 months have been pretty stressful for me, starting at a new school, moving away from home, trying to figure out my career and school plans, and on top of that dealing with my disordered eating and body issues. I'm usually irregular when it comes to my menstrual cycle but since starting school, I have not gotten my period since August, it is now December (3-4 months). I used to have mild acne 2 years ago, it cleared up and now, over the past 2 months, my acne has come back, mildly but i get constant breakouts primarily on my chin area, sides of checks, and sometimes on my forehead. My hair has been falling out a lot lately! It even feels extremely thinner than before and i have developed mild dandruff. I know this must have to do with stress and maybe what Im eating. Stress about school, my eating and body issues, and how I appraise those stressors. Foods i eat such as dairy (4-5 eggs weekly), sometimes milk derived foods (cookies, cake, ice cream). I know this is a lot f information and I plan on working with you to help me heal once I have some extra cash. If you could direct me to certain podcast episodes or give me advice on any of these issues, I would seriously appreciate it so so much. Thank you again for all that you do and all that you provide for us, your works and efforts do NOT go unnoticed. -Marina Zoe: hi dr cabral, thank you for answering my previous wellness question - i am currently trying to take onboard your advice and make the necessary changes to my life and calm my nervous system down, eat a lower fat, higher carb diet and am looking to conduct some of the recommended tests soon. On a separate note, im thinking about going to India for 10 days - 2 weeks in the new year - id like to continue my wellness journey, and ive never been to india before - id like to learn about the culture, more of Ayurveda and perhaps the yoga and spiritual side. i realise that this is not strictly a wellness related question - but i wondered if you had any tips/suggestions where to go and what to do as its my first visit and id really appreciate your advice and your love of India and Ayurveda. Eventually id love to go to there for a longer stint, but right now, the max i can take is 2 weeks. Appreciate your thoughts as always, best, Zoe  Tony: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thanks again for taking my question. As I write this I am about three weeks into the Cabral detox. In early November I spoke with Caitlin regarding my OAT and food sensitivity test results. I have been on point with the diet recommendations and the detox protocol. I decided to have testing done and do the detox to get to the root cause of Ménière’s disease which I have had for about two years. Overall, I am feeling a lot better in the mornings and throughout most of the day. However, around three or 4 o’clock each afternoon, I experience brain fog. It feels as if my brain is fatigued and cannot keep up and I sometimes deal with a slight dizziness as well. My OAT shows that I have low VMA, high HVA, extremely high Quinolinic acid, and really low 5-HIAA. One of my chief concerns in my results was the possibility of neural excitotoxicity, because of the potential long-term effects of it. Since I am three going on four weeks into this and still feeling the brain fog and slight dizziness for a portion of the day I was wondering what your recommendations for me are at this point. As far as Meniere’s cases in your practice, what is the average timetable for those who got better after addressing the root causes? By the way, for those listening who are wondering about the detox and whether it really helps you lose weight or not, let me say that it definitely works. Weight loss was not my goal, especially since I am a hard gainer weightlifter, but I have lost over 15 pounds in the three weeks I’ve been doing this. I would say the product is effective. Thanks again.  Tami: Hello Dr Cabral, I get recurring inflammation of my underarm glands from preteen years. I am currently in my early 30s. I have changed diets, recently started doing a natural detox, however it has reoccurred. When I was younger my tonsils would often get inflamed, however in my later teens this stopped and the inflammation moved to my underarms. I did a full blood test and urine, and all the results came back fine, of course lymphocytes were a bit on the high side, due to the inflammation at the time the blood test was done. I wanted to get a second opinion, on what might be triggering this and possible methods of treatment. Thank you for your time and response. - Tamilia Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, wondered what your thoughts are on Dr Patrick Flanagan's (Phi Sciences) Crystal Energy and/or MegaHydrate. I am currently using 'Cell Food' by NuScience and wondered if it's similar or if these things are even worth using? If I may also ask your thoughts on BioLive Gold liquid probiotic Thanks for such a great podcast, learning so much! Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/701 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

699: Can You Lose Weight & Get Well Without Exercise?

I got my start in the health field by working in gyms and "cutting my teeth" by helping clients transform their bodies through exercise... However, what I quickly realized was that there wasn't a one-size-fits-all approach that I could use to template workouts no matter who walked through the door... This discovery then led me to be able to look at and treat each client as an individual that needed specific guidelines in order to make sure that their workout was customized based on their needs...

698: How to Lose 5 lbs in 7 Days (WW)

Losing weight has so much more to do than calories in versus calories out... Sure, in the short-term you can lose weight by depriving your body of fuel through food, but in the long term you want to be able to lose weight without damaging your metabolism... The reason I mention this is that I see too many people starving themselves of good quality nutrition and as a result their hormones begin to suffer, which then causes other health issues as a side effect... On today's #CabralConcept 698 I share with you how to lose 5 lbs in 7 days the healthy way without sacrificing future results - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/698 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

697: The Top 10 Toxic Side Effects of Sugar (TWT)

Although I love the Holidays, what I don’t always enjoy is the dramatic amount of sugary foods at every turn...

696: How To Set New Year's Goals Without Getting Overwhelmed (MM)

The majority of people use the New Year to give themselves a fresh start and with that often times comes some form of goal setting... While I'm a huge proponent of setting goals I often see people in my practice get overwhelmed as to where to start and how many goals to set... And since the New Year should be a fun and exciting time (rather than one of anxiety) it's important to stay focused on what you can accomplish in the next few months... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 696 for the details on how to set New Year's goals without getting overwhelmed so you can have your best year yet - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/696 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

695: Snapping Hip Syndrome, Daily Nerve Pain, Body Looks Soft, Children's PANDAS/Tics, Detox & CBO Timing, Stool Results (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…  Let’s get started! Cristi: Dear Dr. Cabral, I am a fairly new listener to your program, and I have been slowly catching up on all of your past episodes as they are both fascinating and helpful. I am in my early 40s, live a healthy, busy (two kids, full time job) active lifestyle with daily exercise (yoga, weight training, interval training, stretching, foam rolling) and an anti inflammatory diet similar to what you recommend. My BMI is optimal. Recently I have been able to feel a tendon or something (maybe my IT band) snap over a bone in my hip. At first, I thought it was happening only as I walked up hill and up stairs, but now it is there as I walk as well. From what I researched, this seems to be "snapping hip syndrome." It doesn't hurt, but I do not want it to progress to a point where it does. I do not know what caused it--maybe jumping on a cheap rebounder or doing full range of motion squats with weight (though it wasn't much more than 60 pounds, and I know I used correct form). I went to a chiropractor a couple of times, and that may have started to help, but I had previously used up my other visits in the allotted 12 my insurance allows per year, so I could not continue. I tried to go to a PT, but they wanted a written "diagnosis" from a medical doctor before they would see me. It seems to make sense to avoid motions during which this occurs, but it occurs even walking! I do not want to cut down on my activity level, but I don't want this to progress. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!  Amber: I’m on several different medications. I’ve had three failed back surgeries. I have fusion in my lower back. I’m in pain everyday even with the medications I’m taking, also severe anxiety/panic attacks, and nerve pain down my left leg. I had a csf leak after second surgery which caused me to have a PICC Line in for three months. I had to hav Vancomyocin and Cephapine IV in high doses twice a day. That stuff was brutal. The medications I’m on is Dilaudid (2mg 3x day), Gabapentin (900mg 3x day), Klonopin (1mg 3x day), Zoloft (200mg 1x day), and Birth Control (1x day), plus they are currently adding Propanolol (10mg 3x day prn). I feel so sick and toxic inside every day. I’ve been in bed for three years straight except to get up to eat, shower, go to my appointments. I’m 28 now and hate feeling so sick and in terrible back pain. I was wondering how I could cut down on medications and what natural medications I can use. If I had the money to come see you, I would. I think one of my neighbors with chronic pain is going to fly from Tampa, FL to come see you. I’m on workers comp and living with my parents. I don’t have any money coming in and can’t work or even sit because of severe tailbone pain(which could be related to the metal rods and screws in my lower back). I would like to get that taken out, it’s been a little over two years since fusion surgery. Anything you can suggest, even a back surgeon I can see for a second opinion would be great. I really appreciate the your time in reading this. I hope you can help. Btw- I do take your cbd oil. It helps me to sleep, and sometimes helps my anxiety. My pain management doctor wants me to start medical marijuana vapor as soon as he gets his license to prescribe it. Plus, after my emg, I’m going to try acupuncture (workers comp is starting to do more natural things. I’ve been through a lot. Over 250 nights in hospitals since January 2015. I could keep going and tell you more, but the most important aspects are written to you here. Again, thank you so much!!! Amber Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 34yo female who is 5’4.5” weighing 120lbs. I have been lifting heavy weights about 4x per week where I alternate days of upper and lower body weight training. I also take a gentle yoga class on Wednesdays. My cardio has been inconsistent 30 minutes here and there of the stair master or an occasional hour long step class once a week. I have also been on a completely vegan diet for over a year with very limited amounts of soy and gluten. Although I am small in stature (size 0), I feel like I am too soft for the amount of heavy lifting I am doing. I really want to see more definition in my arms, legs and abs and change my shape. Do you have any recommendations on how I should change my weight/cardio routine and what foods I should eat to ensure I get enough protein for my goals? Is it possible to get the right kind of body building protein on lentils/beans and vegetables? Should I consider soy? I used to eat tons of chicken breasts, egg whites and Greek yogurt and I do notice that I don’t have as much muscle definition but I wasn’t healthy either and had major digestive issues. I am trying to find a balance and at a loss on what is the best diet for my health as well as physique. I appreciate what you do each and every day. My husband ordered me your candida cleanse and 21 day detox and I cannot wait to begin.  Teresa: Hello, I would like to know if you have ever treated a child diagnosed with pandas or tics. We have seen tics go away with clostridia treatment but it rises again. Thanks. Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have just received your 21day detox and your candida cleanse protocol. Which do you recommend I complete first? I noticed that I can have berries in the shake on the candida protocol but not the detox, so I am assuming these protocols should be completed separately. I am a 34yo female with hormonal acne issues and dealing with hypothyroidism and likley adrenal/cortisol issues based on what I have heard on your podcasts. I look forward to completing these protocols and eventually taking your tests to come up with a longer term game plan to achieving health and happiness. Merry Christmas to you, your family and staff! :) Mary: Hello Dr. Cabral. Thank you for your passion of getting your knowledge out to the masses. I very much appreciate it, as you have kickstarted my return to wellness. I recently got the results of a Genova GI effects test which came back relatively normal aside from a moderate microbe diversity (Euryarchaeota present and high E. Coli) and high Beta-glucuronidase. I know this is incomplete knowledge since you don't have all my labs/symptoms as I am not a patient, however, if only given this information would you consider this a possible dysbiosis that merits the use of your bacterial and yeast overgrowth protocol? Thank you. Also, what are your thoughts on calcium-D-glucarate to lower Beta-glucuronidase levels? Moderate microbe diversity ((higher than normal Euryarchaeota Phylum), (high Odoribacter spp., high anaerotruncus colihominis, high faecalibacterium prausnitzii, high lactobacillus spp. high pseudoflavonifractor app. high Veillonella spp. low collinsella aerofaciens, high E coli.)) low fecal fat cholesterol, low inflammation and immunology levels, high Beta-glucuronidase (9,000). Negative parasitology, non-pathogenic candida and sccharomyces levels.

694: Timing is Never Right, Gestational Diabetes, Sleep Apnea, Throat Clearing, Can't Warm Up, Strange Stool (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Alex: Hi Dr. Cabral, First of all, I find your knowledge and willingness to share said knowledge so refreshing. Simply put, what you say makes sense. My question is about your Candida protocol. I've specifically searched all of your podcasts for "Candida" and haven't found this question addressed, so I'm hoping I am not wasting your time. I asked for the Candida protocol for Christmas (yes, seriously) and I’m hoping to start it early January. I’m struggling with the fact that I have 1-2 trips booked every month next year for weddings or for other miscellaneous reasons. I know you’ve said you have an occasional “cheat meal” (pasta, a social glass of wine), but I’m wondering if doing this DURING the protocol will make it less effective. Should I wait to do it when I have no trips planned for 12 weeks? Just want to get the most benefit possible. Thanks!  Josie: Hi Dr. C, I love your podcasts. I listen daily and I am an annoying voice in my family’s ears about “Dr. Cabral says this... “ 2 questions: My younger sister is 6 months pregnant and her blood sugar has been high and her dr is thinking gestational diebetes. She eats the standard American diet. Her normal activity level is low so we suggested maybe some light pregnancy yoga. Her doctor had not given her any suggested diet or even recommended foods to eat or not eat. I haven’t heard any podcasts on gestational diebetes, but looked up episode 603 where you gave recommendations for type 2 diabetes- workout, blood sugar support supplement, and 2 cups of vegetables at meals. 1-Would you recommend the same for a prego? 2-What do you think about air fryers (for preganant and non-pregnant people)?  Ceri: Hi Dr Cabral. I am a health coach and I have a question relating to a client. He is a 34 year old male who has sleep apnoea. He has had one surgery for this, though I don't know the exact details. History of high cholesterol (taking statins), non alcoholic fatty liver disease, pre-diabetic and issues with blood sugar. I have been working with him for 3 months to improve his diet/lifestyle and he has lost weight, now to 84kg and has noticed many improvements in his health and feeling better, but the sleep apnoea has not changed. He has had a repeat sleep study and their is no difference. He has big energy drops during the day and needs to nap in the afternoon. It is impacting his ability to work long days. I am unsure if this is something caused by a physical blockage of if there are other changes he can make to diet/lifestyle that will help. I would love your input. Kind Regards, Ceri  Daniela: I am a big fan of the podcasts and have found the information to be very helpful and interesting. I'm hoping that you/your team can help with an issue I've had for years. I am constantly clearing my throat, even to the point of not realizing it. I know it's an issue, because sometimes my throat feels raw from the throat clearing. I don't have any health issues I'm aware of, so I don't know what could be causing this strange sensation. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Regards Daniela  Jamie: Hi! This might be a really dumb question, but I can't really find an answer online! When I drink smoothies, I get really, really cold and it takes me hours to get warm again. I love to warm back up quickly in my little infrared sauna (the "tent" kind - my kids call it my spaceship.) However, when I am super cold going in to the sauna, I don't sweat much at all - not even close to the amount I sweat if I am already warm when I start (for example, if I do a sauna after I exercise, I sweat a ton!) So my question is this - am I still getting the detox/health/longevity benefits of the infrared sauna if I am so cold that I don't sweat much during the 30-min session, or are the health benefits pretty much solely related to the deep sweating?? Thanks so much! Kathy: Hello Dr. Cabral, No words can explain how thankful I am to have found your podcasts and references. Your care and concern for others is a blessing. Gonna try to state the facts in order and short as possible: Me: 51 y/o,no meds (used to take cholesterol meds but stopped 2014), full time Speech Pathologist in Nursing Home, weekend Server at restaurant; high cholesterol, always been active, since mid July: 30-60 min/day workouts (Beachbody member and use Shakeology daily; follow 21 day fix meal plan but choose bulk of my carbs through veggies, 6-8 hours sleep/night Problem: Weight loss from 151# to 130# from March to Current date -don't know if related to stool issues, gut issues or changes in eating habits. Primary concern: very strange looking stool. varies from the following: normal, black, layered 1/2 black 1/2 brown, normal color with white or black dots, fibrous looking sticks, soft floating strings, extremely odd shapes, frequent small poop daily after large,stool is greasy looking at times, every morning-explosive emission. Also have sporadic severe leg cramps at night usually after weekend of waitressing (note: I drink recommended amounts of water first thing in morning and daily with your recommendation for sea salt and lime and love it) History: (don't know if all this started due to dental issues and if you can shed light on this) Dental consult early Jan 2017 with xrays. Found fractured root and 3 tooth bridge needed removal. No antibiotics. Symptoms started about 3 weeks after initial dental appointment (about Jan 26). Symptoms included: frequent nausea, bloating-lots of air in belly, pussiness surrounding stool, stringy stool, explosive stool(everytime went to bathroom),frequent stool, tightness lower abdomen. Extraction not scheduled until a flipper was available and due to this appoint delayed til April. Doc said at time of extraction considerable infection and in larger area than previously thought. No antibiotics post extraction. Multiple tests as per below attachments. March 10-May 1: Fodmap diet started as recommended following Colonoscopy and on my own added ParaGuard (Advanced Intestinal Flora Support-nutrition by Zahler) about 2 weeks later nausea and most of cramping went away, crazy stool continued May 1 was tested for celiac sprue and was told all blood tests were normal-no evidence of celiac sprue or thyroid disease. EGD recommeded and I was told to eat normal foods until EGD. I told CNP that I stay away from gluten and dairy as part of my daily meals and she told me she wanted me to resume them to my diet and that they may do some biopsies as needed with EGD. June 5 EGD-per doc "no evidence of cancer, infection or Celiac disease in biopsies. Biopsies showed evidence of mild non specific inflammation and it is recommended that I do an over the counter acid suppression for a month (Priolosec 20 mg daily). When I responded to her via email asking if the inflammation could be related to a food allergy she told me, "It is unlikely for food allergy to cause this type of inflammation. Medication side effects, alcohol or excessive acid production may be the culprit." I told her I am not on any medications nor do I drink except for maybe on occasion on the weekend, and that I did not want to take over the counter medication unless I absolutely had to. When I confronted her about the inflammation not coming from a food allergy and that maybe I was having trouble in another area of my body that is affecting my stomach, or maybe a parasite infection which is undiagnosed, I asked her if I needed other referrals, if I should change my diet again, if I should do any type of cleanses, etc. HER RESPONSE: Please schedule an office visit with NP to discuss your concerns. NO THANKS! June 12 Began Whole 30 diet after reading book, felt great,and I still stick to similar eating habits. I do eat occasional bean chips for a snack when I want something crunchy. I will also eat an occasional dessert but not part of regular intake. August 1 bought and did your Intestinal Cleanse and Healthy Belly Today: Feel great except for continued strange bowels, fatigue midway through day and have to close eyes for 10 min to get through day, leg cramps Just ordered your parasite protocol and was planning to do this followed by CIBO/Candida Protocol. What else can I do? I admire your knowledge, enthusiasm to help, and look forward to any recommendations. Even if I ordered a test I wouldn't know exactly where to begin.

688: Spinal Impingement, Xifaxan, Lyme, Cleansing During Candida Protocol, Missing Period, PANDAS (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Donna: Dear Dr. Cabral, Over a year ago I was experiencing mild to strong feelings of weak sensations equally in my arms and legs. After many medical tests I found a Palmer Specific Chiropractor/Nutritionist. X-rays showed I had no curve in my upper cervical. Through a year of adjustments those sensations went away & a curve is taking shape in my upper cervical. Just this past week I am experiencing these symptoms again. I haven't yet addressed this to my chiropractor. It limits my workouts so I can't lift heavy or the sensations feel stronger. I am 51, at a good weight, exercise daily, paleo/good sourced foods, Your approved supplements, drink more than 1/2 my body weight in oz.of water. I have done the 7 day detox and 90 day cleanse. What are your thoughts? Respectfully & Thankful, Donna Will: Hi, Can I undergo the 7 day detox while on antibiotics ? (xifaxan) Same for the candida protocol, can I start while on xifaxan ? Thanks  Vanessa: Hi Dr. Carbal, I have been battling Lyme Disease for numerous years and am always looking to learn more on nutrition and how to support my immune system. Can you recommend any books to read to continue learning? Thanks! Vanessa Will: Hi, Is the intestinal cleanse mandatory before beginning the candida protocol ? or can I just start with the candida protocol by itself ? Thanks Tori: Hello! First off I’m very interested in holistic medicine approaches to healing, and I was wondering if you had any advice for a particular problem I’ve been dealing with since coming to college. I am on the Division 1 Cross country and track team and always have had an irregular period since competitively running (essentially absent), however ever since I got mono in the spring of my freshman year (over 1.5 years ago) I have not gotten a natural period.I was on birth control for around 3 months, but t made me feel horrible! Ever since I still haven’t gotten a period after those “placebo” ones. I just got my estrogen levels tested and they are undetectable on a scale of 19 pc/mg, meaning my levels are around a post menopausal woman if not lower. I’m really intent on trying to regain this vital cycle for my overall health, since it has caused discomforting symptoms for me, I’m just not exactly sure how! I’ve been trying to research foods and Supplements I can try, but I was wondering if you had any knowledgeable advice since this is somewhat within the realm of what you study! I’m so sorry for the long message!  Lori: My son is 7 dx with PANDAS in oct , onset was September 7 however he did develop tics in January that subsided about 2 weeks after onset (given advair and singulair at the time). He had tonsils and adenoids out in July when one of his tonsils began to grow all of the sudden. Biopsy clear but did not culture the tonsil. He has been on antibiotics and anti vitals for about 6 weeks along with it d and Motrin for 2 weeks, charcoal, 5 htp, interfase plus,probiotics and fish oil. Topical cbd and frankenscence. He had elevated EBV/STREP pos ANA speckled at 640. He has made small gains with OCD and tics are gone. Still has rage , food avoidance, hallucinations and can't attend school due to separation anxiety and hand writing regression. I am wondering if he would have better healing with your gut protocol another Mom told me about? Please advise:) Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/688 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - -

687: Normalizing Thyroid, IBD & Wilson's Temperature Syndrome, Cholesterol Levels, Multiple Symptoms, Brown Age Spots (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Kim: Hi Dr. Cabral - I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism at the age of 47, and have been taking Armour Thyroid medication for approximately 10 years. My levels go up and down and are checked every 6 months. My latest blood work showed: T4=1,0, T3=2.6, TSH =2.45. I have recently started listening to your podcasts (thankfully a friend told me about you)! I'm wondering what your opinion is about Hypothyroidism? It seems that every female I know around my age is diagnosed with it and put on medication! My hair has become so thin...it is scary! If my thyroid levels are "normal" while taking the Armour Thyroid medication, I'm wondering if the hair loss could be caused from the medication itself? I would love to be able to stop taking the medication, but do not know where to go from here and I"m hoping you can help point me in the right direction. My husband and I are using your Daily Nutritional Support powder , greens powder and Probiotic and love it! Thank you so much!!! Joan: My daughter has been very unwell for over 2 years with IBD and a strange symptom of an inability to warm herself, and consequently goes through a nightly routine of freezing and overheating. Blood tests are normal. I thought it could be Wilson's Temperature Syndrome but it can't be tested. Is this something you are familiar with? Do you think you could help her with this?  Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral, As always, thank you for providing this House Call service. I share it with everyone! This question is for my husband. -At his annual physical/blood work his cholesterol went up 30 points. -His LDL is 130! His HDL is 73, Total is 276 and his Homocysteine level is 9.6 Note: we are having his blood work re-ran to make sure there wasn't an error because the lab didn't run his Thyroid panel or a couple of other panels the doctor had ordered. -We eat super clean - organic/farmers markets/lots of vegetables/pastured meats/maybe 6 beers a year/no processed sugars/low sugar in general -The only thing that has changed is that we switched out smoothies in the morning after having eggs every morning for probably a year. -We do saute our veggies in ghee or coconut oil which I always thought was healthy until you mentioned you prefer cooking in water and adding olive oil after. -My husband is 45 and does have the MTHFR gene mutation, I think it's homozygous. He has not been tested for COMT. -Doctor thinks this is genetic and provided a food list (although those foods are exactly what we eat). He recommended RYR Synergy to lower LDL - a red rice yeast and COQ10 mixture as well as Berberine Synergy. -My husband has never been one for cardio or weights, but he does go to an hour long yoga class 3 times a week. Some weeks only 1 time a week. I'm wondering if he needs to be incorporating weights and cardio. -He also did your 2 week detox before this blood work I'm thankful the doctor is functional medicine minded and did not recommend a statin, because no way would we go that route. SO, Dr. Cabral, what do we need to do here? In gratitude for your work every day!   Tina: Dear Dr. Cabral: Thanks for your podcast! My friend and I love to listen and then get together to talk about your advice. You recently answered her question and we were so thrilled!!! I'd love to give you a little run down of my symptoms/ health history and see if you have any advice about which tests/ supplements you might recommend. I'm not sure how successful I will be in making this a "little" run down. I am a 30 year old female, 5'8'', 150 lbs, athletic build. I have weighed about the same for the past 10 years, though I have had varying degrees of fitness. When I was young, I had a history of stomach aches and stomach cramping that would come and go. I ate a poor diet high in refined sugars and processed foods. I was a very nervous, incredibly shy, excessively perfectionist, high strung kid. Starting in 7th grade, I experienced the beginnings of hyperhydrosis. I had extremely sweaty underarms.... I could easily sweat through two shirts and a sweatshirt, and nerves and social anxiety made this cycle worse. Also starting in 7th grade, I was highly active with swimming, dance, and tumbling. In high school, these continued, but as school got more difficult, I was perpetually sleep deprived.... going to bed around 11 and getting up around 5:00 to go to morning practices. In 7th grade, I experienced my first bout of extreme stomach flu.... which included vomiting over 100 times and ending up in the hospital for fluids and anti-vomiting medication. This extreme-stomach response was repeated in high school and in college. To this day, if I get a stomach flu or food poisoning, I vomit far more than the average person, though not as much as I used to. Toward the end of high school, my body sort of shut down on me and I experienced fatigue and incredibly poor performance in my sport. I didn't really do anything about it because I did not have any adults who were particularly aware of my condition, and health wasn't foremost on my mind. In college, the sleep deprivation and over-exerting continued as I was a D1 college swimmer. I was running my body into the ground and it wasn't until junior year that I had the courage to quit my sport and focus on health and things I loved. By this point, I had developed quite a bit of joint pain... in my low back and shoulders, which was continuously diagnosed as "tendonitis", but my body couldn't seem to heal itself properly, even with adequate rest. In college, I transitioned to healthier eating habits until after college when I went gluten-free and learned each year how to cook and eat better real foods. Post-college, I had surgery for endometriosis and I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (for which I have a sleep appliance). To this day, when get sick, I tend to get sicker than those around me, particularly in regard to stomach illnesses. Injuries - especially joint injuries - tend to not heal properly. For example, I fell off my bike three years ago and my thumb has never been the same. I have knee pain from 6 years ago. My injuries all tend to be rather "vague" joint injuries which do not seem to be helped much by physical therapy or anti-inflammatories. My biggest concern is my constant fatigue and brain fog issues. Last week I was just officially diagnosed with estrogen dominance after doing a dutch hormone test. I don't know what the treatment plan is yet for estrogen dominance. My progesterone and testosterone levels are good, but my estrogen levels are high. I experience so many PMS symptoms, including but certainly not limited to bloating (up to 10 lbs a month), bad body odor - even immediately following a shower, brain fog, anxiety, mood swings, etc. I have a left lazy -eye (strabismus) which contributes to fatigue and focus difficulties. For the past 5 years I have eaten a very clean diet - paleo style, I exercise regularly with mild-moderate effort/moderate length workouts (walking, running, intervals, body strength exercises). These workouts are nothing like the grueling workouts of my past. I have a low tolerance for high-fiber foods like oatmeal and broccoli and quinoa. These create excessive bloating and gas. For the past 5 years I regularly get ~7 hrs of a sleep a night and for the past 6 months I get about 8 hours of sleep a night. I no longer have a stressful job. I have a good prayer life and I am have decreased so many stressors in my life. It seems as though my energy levels and immune system are just not quite balanced. I am a highly sensitive type - and I tend to be very aware of my body and I react strongly to medicines/stimulants/caffeine/etc. I still experience sweaty underarms, clammy hands, and social anxiety. I would love to simply get to my "core" health issue, assuming there is a single issue. I am SO determined to regain my health. I am motivated and I would follow instructions to do whatever it takes to help my body find homeostasis again. It can be so overwhelming to even know where to go next. My body just doesn't "feel" right, my energy doesn't "feel" right, my mind doesn't "feel" right, but I don't know how to go about pinpointing the issue. Maybe it really just is the estrogen levels, but shouldn't there be something that made the estrogen levels too high in the first place? As an interesting side note, I did a 7 day bone broth and coconut water fast last year, and during that time I had no pain in my body, I slept well, and I had insanely high energy levels. This is largely how I know for sure that my not "Feeling" right is a true assessment and there is a better , healthier, happier way to live! Once I started eating again, all the typical symptoms came back. Another side note, I've had bags under my eyes for as long as I can remember! Pictures show they've been there at least since 7th grade. Alas, I have failed to make this question short for you! I apologize! And I thank you for everything you do to educate your listeners on healing! God bless you! Tina Donna: Thank You Dr. Cabral for sharing your knowledge & research with everyone! I have a brown looking age spot/liver spot/ sun spot just a bit smaller than a dime on my cheek-bone and a few smaller ones on my face. I eat free range chicken/eggs, grassfed beef, ground turkey,occasional good sourced pork, organic fruit/vegetables, kerry gold butter, xtra virgin unrefined coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, nuts (NO peanuts) and seeds and lots of greens. I'm 5'6", weighing 128#'s, I work out, and am 51. This year I have done your 7 day detox, the 90 day candida gut cleanse, a liver cleanse, and an ionic foot cleanse. What else can I do? I also have puffiness/bags under my eyes and dry hard skin at both corners of all my fingernails, the skin at the outside of pinky toes, and skin in front of all toes. I take pharmaceutical grade fish oil, vit. D, calm magnesium, your B complex, probiotic, your ascorbic acid, Great Lakes Gelatin/collagen, Dream Protein, drink at least 64 0z. of water daily with bragg vinegar, or essential oils in it and one-two small cups of organic coffee.

681: Low Progesterone Causes, Molluscum Contagiosum, Low Cost Sauna, Fat for Fuel, GI Issues (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…  Let’s get started! Taylor: Hello Dr Cabral, I've learned so much about hormones from your podcast and it has been so helpful. I clearly am showing signs of lower progesterone. Wondering what are the ways to boost these progesterone levels? Thanks! Taylor Kristine: Hello! My 11 year old was diagnosed with molluscum contagiosum rash. I've been told it is viral and we have to wait it out. It that it could take months and while we wait we run the risk of it spreading. Any suggestions on how to naturally clear this up quickly? Thank you!! Nikki: Looking into getting a portable infrared sauna. Only looking to spend a few hundred dollars as that's my price range. Can you recommend a cheaper version of the therasage? Also what should I be looking for ? Low emf? Thanks! Love your podcast! Listen everyday James: I would like to hear your thoughts on fat for fuel and getting your body to burn fat instead of glucose. Bill: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am 28 yrs old and for the last 5 years I've been battling all sorts of GI issues (bloating, gas, inflammation and spasms). I've had a battery of tests run (colonoscopy, endoscopy, food emptying study, breath test, MRI etc) and the results have all been normal (so frustrating!). Most recently I've been experiencing extremely uncomfortable spasms in my stomach, chest and back AFTER bowel movements. I thought bowel movements were supposed to provide relief ? I am very active, eat salads and fruits daily, but also drank alcohol heavily in college and suspect that might be coming back to haunt me. Doctors say I am extremely healthy but I feel horrible inside. Big fan of your show & thanks in advance!

680: Body Typing, Weight Loss Struggle, Colostrum, Toxic Work Environment, Portion Advice, Muscle Weakness (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!  This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Anonymous: I am having trouble figuring out my body types - kapha, pitta, vata, mesomorph, ectomorph and endomorph. Can you do a show helping us determine our body type or direct me to a show if one already exists? Roya: I need to lose weight. I’ve tried everything under the sun. I’m an athlete but after having my 2 boys it’s been a struggle. I gain weight evenly all over so I’m proportional and curvy. I know I need to lose 20-30 lbs and I believe my body type is a mesomorph. Where do I start with your protocol? Please help! Mary: Thank you for all that you do. I very much enjoy your podcast and all the work that goes into making it. What are your thoughts on taking colostrum? Thank you! Mary: I have been working in a cadaver lab full time for around two years now. There are a lot of noxious chemicals around me at all times, in particular formaldehyde, which I am hovering over while dissecting and teaching. I feel like this is very detrimental for my health but will be in the lab for at least another half a year. Should I constantly be detoxing my body? I have recently been working with a functional medicine physician and have determined that I have hypothyroidism, low WBC (low IgG's), super low hormone levels with amenorrhea since getting off of birth control two years ago. I also transitioned off anxiety medications and adderol two years ago and the underlying anxiety and brain fog/low energy/ poor concentration returned. I also have stomach issues including chronic constipation and bloating. I suppose I would simply like your advise on where to start. For instance, if everything in your system is off unbalanced where do you start? Is it always healing the intestinal permeability first or would you detox heavy metals first? Thank you. P.S. Thank you for your amazing work and podcast. You are so inspiring and contribute to my continued drive to be a functional medicine physician some day. Thank you. Briana: Hello! I was wondering if being petite/short has anything to do with how much a shorter person should intake in terms of food, as well as exercise and if there was portion advice you could recommend. I am 5’2 and constantly struggle with appetite and keeping weight off. I am about to start your 7-day detox and am looking forward to restarting and moving towards a healthier lifestyle. Love your podcast and what you’re doing! Best, Briana Gina: Hi Dr Cabral! Just want to thank you for all you do and your help in my daily life! My father was diagnosed with Myastenia Gravis and complains of muscle weakness and double vision along with eyelids dropping. He’s a 65 year old in decent shape and it’s making him crazy that he can barely brush his teeth without getting fatigued. He also takes medication for A-fib, a cholesterol med and an aspirin. I told him he should give up drinking alcohol and eat a better diet. Is there anything else you can tell me about the dis-ease or something I can help him with!? Thank you so much!

677: The "Protein Shake Diet" in The News (WW)

It finally looks like conventional medicine has seen the light when it comes to using "protein shakes," as a healthy part of a daily diet... It may have taken a few decades of consistent research for them to come around, but the results of adding in a smoothie or protein shake on a daily basis are hard to refute... There are dozens of reasons for this, but one in particular is that a protein shake "crowds out" other poor nutritional choices while fortifying your body with the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids it needs to rebuild... However, not all protein sources are created equal and on today's #CabralConcept 677 I'll share with you all the details of the "Protein Shake Diet" and what you should watch out for - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/677 - - -  Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

The dictionary defines being in a "funk" as a state of depression or trying to avoid a task or thing out of fear...   Simply put, I think we can all relate to being in a funk as feeling like you're stuck in quick sand and that no matter what you do you only seem to sink deeper into the hole you're in…   Since none of us want to remain in this state, we need to be able to flip the switch whenever we want in order to get into a flow state where everything in life seems to move us effortlessly to our goals...   Tune into today's #CabralConcept 675 to learn how to get out of a funk and into a flow state today - Enjoy the show!    - - -   Show Notes & Resources:   http://StephenCabral.com/675   - - -   Get Your Question Answered:   http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

674: Fasted Cardio, Greens Drink Powder, No-No Thyroid Foods, Puffy Eyes, Healthy IVF, Period Cold Sores (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…  Let’s get started! Ellie: I am 20 years old and am very active. I’m wondering if I will lose muscle from fasted cardio? I lift quite a bit and am trying to lean out but not lose muscular progress. I do intermittent fasting and have been doing fasted cardio about 3 days per week. Will this diminish my muscles? Also, is fasted lifting okay to do? Thanks so much! Rachel: Hello Thank you for your advice! My question is what is the exact brand of the All-in-one greens drink? Where can I buy it? I have terrible digestive issues, would like to try it but am a bit apprehensive. Thank you! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 34yo female and I recently heard one of your podcasts on what an ideal TSH test result should look like. I was horrified to learn that the last 3+ doctors over the last 7+ years have brushed off my symptoms and my high TSH levels. Over 7 years ago I complained about feeling tired all the time, struggling with my weight, peeling brittle nails, and feeling so cold. I wear sweaters year round in central Texas! Over the last 3 years my TSH levels were 1.94, 3.69 and this year it is 2.85. I recently pulled my medical records at past doctors and my results were similar and not optimal based on what I learned from you. When my TSH was 3.69 last year, they finally said I was “border line”. When I asked for natural recommendations from the nurse practitioner going over my blood work over the phone, she simply stated there wasn’t anything I could do on my own and would have to take prescription medication for the rest of my life but the doctor wanted to retest and since it lowered some this year, no meds were prescribed which I didn’t plan to take anyways. What do you recommend I do to get my tsh levels to optimal and feel normal? Also, I heard cruciferous foods and soy were a “no-no” for thyroid issues, is this true? Any suggestions you may have to feel better would be greatly appreciated. I do not want to take prescription chemical especially for the rest of my life. Catherine: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been into healthy living for many years now and have thoroughly enjoyed your podcasts since finding them a couple of months ago. I have two symptoms that are puzzling to me even though I follow a healthy diet (not vegan but mostly real food, occasional meat), exercise and get sunshine, social connection and rest. I do have stress in my life from 3 kids ages 12, 9 and 5. I will be 45 years old next month. First, I have very puffy skin under my eyes and pressure behind the eyes. The puffiness does not go away during the day, it is pretty constant. I have tried natural eye drops, limiting salt, eye creams and massage, elevating my head while sleeping, etc. Nothing works. I would expect some puffiness with my age but it is extreme. Also I have a puzzling symptom.....whenever I am frightened by something or drop something I get a tingling sensation in my body, mainly my arms. It passes quickly but it is strange. Any insight you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!  Danielle: Hi! I’ve recently started listening to your podcast and find them fascinating. I am due to start a round of donor egg ivf in January and I wonder if there’s a way I can prepare my body for it? I have severe endometriosis but minimal pain usually apart from around the time of an ivf cycle when the extra estrogen feeds the endo. Is there anything you would recommend food or supplements etc to help mitigate this but also help to increase chances of implantation and a successful pregnancy? I am already doing my best to eat healthily, cut back on caffeine, low alcohol & also taking a preconception multivitamin vitamin, vitamin d3 spray and Wobenzym for the endometriosis. Is there anything else you’d recommend? Thank you, Danielle Alix: Hello, I've noticed that a few days before I get my monthly period I start getting a sore throat. Then the day before I get cold sores. I've Googled this and it seems that many women are getting these symptoms but no doctors seem to have solutions. Any ways to stop both these symptoms would be greatly appreciated.

673: Sleep Soundly, Root Canals, Weak Digestion, Children's Iron & Calcium, Carbonated Water (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Sarah: Hello, I'm, wondering if you can help point me in the right direction, I have not been diagnosed with any health issues but I know my body is not supposed to function the way it does. I have had insomnia since for the past 14ish years - it goes up and down, but I mainly manage it to a level where I can function normally (obviously not a "normal" level of sleep) I wake often throughout the night and literally don't remember when I slept through the night, I find it difficult to fall asleep often and this whole cycle creates anxiety for me, as it affects my partner too. I have suffered from constipation since I was little (im 32), I feel like I am constantly bloated - no matter how clean I eat, sometimes only a little, sometimes painfully. I'm pretty sure I retain water and/or I am inflamed. I have a thick coating on my tongue. I move my body - mostly walking and yoga and I work in a physical job, I eat pretty well - mostly plants and wholefoods,I have been vegetarian for nearly 3 years, I will eat the occasional wild caught fish. I don't seem to do well with dairy or gluten. I am a natural worrier and stresser and I just know this is all related! There may be more going on inside that I can't see but I think it is all linked. My main issues are the digestions issues and insomnia, I don't have anything else major going on - but to me they are major! I don't think my body is absorbing any nutrients from the relatively clean diet I eat, when I get unhealthy cravings its generally carbs, chocolate or sweets. I know this is all a bit of a mish mash but just trying to give as much info as possible - If you have any tips/ideas/suggestions please let me know, I just want to sleep well and have my digestion working optimally - particularly for when I start a family. Stephanie: My question is about root canals. I had one done a year ago, after seeing a holistic dentist who thought I should have the procedure done, and have second guessed my decision wondering if I should of had the tooth pulled instead. I'm now considering having it removed and having a removable denture put in. Do you think most people would be better off having the root canal removed rather than leaving it in the mouth and risking disease? Thanks so much for answering! Jill: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am 38 year old female and an endomorph. A good friend of mine turned me on to your podcast several months ago, and I listen every morning. I appreciate your heart to share the knowledge you have and to see people get well. I have been on my own health journey for the past 7 years. In 2008, I lost 30 pounds using Weight Watchers. In 2010 I started having massive brain fog. I’ve had digestive issues most of my life. Through a naturopath, I found out I’m allergic to gluten and casein (and a few other things). I have cut both out of my diet (gluten gone as of the end of 2011; dairy gone as of 2013). In 2012, I lost an additional 20 pounds (through calorie counting and a workout plan of 5-6 days a week: 1.5 hours - 60 cardio (treadmill, no running); 30 weights) and was finally at my healthiest weight, still at the high end of my BMI. At the time, it felt like, in order to maintain that weight, I would have to count every calorie and work out hard 6 days a week (or more) for the rest of my life. Overall, I feel significantly better now than I did back in 2010, but I still deal with symptoms: brain fog, my brain feels swollen, fatigue, difficulty focusing/finding words (especially an hour or two after eating), mucus, digestion issues, depression, trouble losing weight. Throughout 2013, I gained back 10 pounds and held there. Toward the beginning of 2016, I gained 20 pounds “out of nowhere” (couldn’t identify a cause) and couldn’t get it to budge. I work from home often and could easily sleep 10-11 hours a night. Even so, some days, my body would shut down during the day, and I would take an hour nap … only to sleep 10-11 hours again the next night. At the beginning of this year, while monitored by a nutritionist, I did a 40-day juice fast: juice, water, ginger tea, and eventually I added bone broth in as well. During this fast, I felt amazing!!!  I was reminded that I could feel vibrant and clear-headed and motivated and positive!!! Plus I would sleep 8-9 hours, wake up on my own and feel refreshed!  I lost the 20 pounds and felt like myself again. For most of the fast, I felt like I never wanted to eat food again. As I started adding food back in (one food at a time), I started feeling “not-so-great” again. For a while, I had daily bms (which I have rarely had in my life), but that didn’t last. When I ate food, I would feel sluggish. My nutritionist suggested perhaps my body can’t handle fiber, so I’ve been on a low fiber diet (no raw veggies; only cooked).  I have gained back much of the 20 pounds.  I feel bloated and sluggish and have a hard time focusing and getting motivated to live my life.  It feels like my body functions best without having to break down food, but juicing for the rest of my life doesn’t feel like an option either.  Do you have any thoughts on why my body thrives on liquid but struggles with food?  Do you have any recommendations on what I can do to help my body thrive consistently?  An additional piece to the puzzle is that I have arthritis in my knees (the right is worse than the left). This has made cardiovascular exercises basically impossible. (The pain made running impossible starting in 2014.) I recently used an upright bike for 10 min (after you recommended it on your podcast). I didn’t have pain while working out, but within a few hours, my right knee was experiencing pain (initial as sharp, shooting pain when I sat on the couch). For days after, there was pain when going up and down stairs and sitting, as well as catching or clicking and popping in my knee when opening it/straightening my leg. This is consistent with my experience for the past year plus. Do you have recommendations to help burn fat and build muscle … that won’t cause knee pain/worsen my arthritis? Thank you so much for these house calls and for allowing those of us who can’t get to Boston to have access to your knowledge base. I am so appreciative! Jill Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral... as always thank you for your work! I share your name to everyone. My daughter just had her 2 year check up at the Children's hospital she went directly to about 2 hours after her birth. She was born early and suffered tremendous blood loss and was a "whole body cooled" baby - hypothermia treatment for 72 hours. She is PERFECT. She was either at 24 months or beyond for her development at her assessment today. However, the same dietician who rubbed me the wrong way at her 10 month high risk infant follow up appointment, giving me a hard time for choosing not to give her iron enriched "baby" cereals, was back at it again when asking if I give her dairy. I do not give her dairy. If/when I do it will be raw dairy but we're not there yet. The dietician was saying how I need to keep an eye on her calcium. She said we can get calcium from dark green leafy greens, but how we'd need to consume 10x the amount of greens as dairy to get the same amount. I know she's not correct, but I chose to get through the appointment and save her my argument. Last time she was right, my daughters iron got low 9.6 but we focused on beef/liver/chicken/molasses combined with a homeopathic remedy and camucamu and broccoli and such and raised it to 11.6 in 3 months. I swear she rolled her eyes (in her head) when I said I'm still nursing her twice a day at 2 years. That's something that should be honored and I'm well aware it's not an absolute "need" at this point. BUT, we couldn't nurse the first 5 days of her life and we're fortunate we did perfectly when we got the green light to nurse. My daughter is also only 21 pounds at 2 years of age, but she's stayed on her own curve and she eats a fare amount of food, including fats like ghee, avocado, etc. She requests ghee :) She really only eats broccoli for her greens and sometimes I chop up spinach in her scrambled egg. She's a meat and sweet potatoes girl. What do I need to be giving her to keep up with calcium? Should I be concerned of her lower weight? Also, the last few weeks after trying bee pollen we get at the farmers market, she literally wants to eat it all day. Is that weird? or ok? In gratitude. Cara Jen: Is carbonated water and seltzer somehow unhealthy? I love drinking flavored La Croix or Polar seltzers and probably drink a 12oz can 1-2x daily when I have them on hand. I really enjoy it and find that it's a nice treat when I'm tired of drinking water or herbal tea. I'm familiar with how, Ayurvedically speaking, carbonation can increase Vata. Are there any other health concerns to drinking carbonated waters (of course assuming it's not my only source of water intake)?

669: The Missing Brain Chemical That Boosts Motivation, Drive, Focus & Feeling Alive! (TWT)

Too often we're just labeled by our doctors, society, or the media as being depressed, anxious, apathetic, ADD, or exhibiting "addictive behaviors... Then, pharmaceutical companies would have us treat our natural symptoms of bodily and brain dis-ease with unnatural synthetic drugs that don't actually explain why you feel this way, or how you got here... However, since we know there is always a reason why the body gets out of balance or begins to feel a certain way we can begin to look at your symptoms as to what may be running in short supply...

667: Child Yeast Overload, Split Body Workouts, Add Muscle, MRET Water Activators, Keto Question, Histamine Reactions (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Megan: Hi Dr Cabral, as always, thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I wrote in a few weeks back about my 10 year old son and how we healed his leaky gut which in turn eleviated the eye tics he was having. His most recent Nutreval showed the yeast was elevating some again. We are back on the biociden and the biofilm buster. When you answered my first question about why the yeast returned, you explained how we have to get rid of the bad yeast and replace it with the good yeast. Makes total sense. We had stayed away from probiotics that have saccharomyces in them because it always caused his symptoms to flare. At first I thought the flare was because yeast was his highest sensitivity in the IgG. I realize the sensitivity is to the bad yeast but my question now is could the flare be from the saccharomyces (even though they are the good guys) or would the flare simply occur because we were adding the good guys while there were still too many guys which means too much yeast all together? Thank you so much for sharing with us each day, you are such a blessing. –Megan (Continued) Hi Dr Cabral, I just sent in a question yesterday about my 10 year old son and the sacchromyces. I am realizing I may not have posed all of my question clearly so I'm adding on, and I'm so so sorry if this makes it confusing for you. Please feel free to copy and paste for the purpose of your house call. As I mentioned in yesterday's question my sons eye tics used to flare when I would give him probiotics with saccharomyces in them, but what I didn't mention was he was always totally fine with probiotics that didn't include the saccharomyces. His highest sensitivity on the IgG was to yeast. I realize that's the bad yeast and saccharomyces are the good yeast but why do the good cause a flare in symptoms? Is it simply because I added the good before getting rid of the bad? I guess my real question is why would he have been ok on probiotics that didn't include saccharomyces but have a hard time handling the ones that do have them? Is it as simple as too much yeast all together? So maybe when we rid the gut of the bad yeast he won't flare when we add the good? I've avoided the saccharomyces due to the previous flare in symptoms but am now learning that we need to be replenishing the good to keep the bad out! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing all of your incredible knowledge with us. I have the highest respect for you and what you do and can not begin to tell you how much I have learned and how our family's health has changed for the better since we were introduced to you and your incredible podcast. You are a gift to us. Megan PS I again apologize for the mistake and having to submit the same question twice, but I am interested to hear what you have to say about why the saccharomyces in particular cause a problem for him and I left out of the first submission. Eliana: I love your podcast, it is so informative! I wanted to ask you about my workout program split. I typically do this kind of 5 day split: legs, arms, cardio and abs, back and chest, shoulders and cardio. Basically, I lift 4-5 days a week and get my cardio in either on the same day or on alternating days. Is this too much lifting? I have been doing it for awhile now and have enjoyed it, but I was listening to your recommendation about 3 days of resistance training per week. Thank you! Tyler: Hi Dr. Cabral, I know you have a background in body building and personal training and am looking for advice in regards to putting on more muscle. I am a 25 year old former collegiate athlete and am very lean but am looking to put more mass on in the safest way possible. I eat predominately vegan and GF with some wild fish and eggs. I work out 3-4 days a week and do a combo of lifting, swimming, and hatha yoga. I am 6’1” and 182 lbs. I have read on the importance of ingrsting protein shakes before and after workouts as well as BCAAs pre, during, and post workout for anabolic muscle growth. Do you have brands that you recommend for vegan protein (I do your Nutritional Support Powder in smoothies in the morning) and BCAAs? Or are they even necessary? I appreciate your insight. Thanks, Tyler Anthony: Hi Dr. Cabral, What are your thoughts on MRET water activators? Your products and podcasts have become a very positive part of my life, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Sincerely, Anthony James: Is a kenogentic diet good for you  Zach: What's up Doc, writing in for my 27 y/o girlfriend who has recently been to the "doctor" because she was having allergic reactions (tingling itchy lips, redness around the lips, and breakouts) whenever she ate certain foods. She's tired all the time, never seems to have energy to do anything active, and could lay on the couch all day. We recently (within the last year) went vegetarian, and we limit dairy and eggs as much as possible, but this hasn't seemed to help with the issues she's having. She has had allergy problems (histamine issues) her whole life and found out she was allergic to nickel, as well as many different pollens/grass/trees when she was younger. About a year and a half ago she had a psoriasis "patch" show up on the back of her neck on her hair line, during a stressful period at work. It went away after she was prescribed some cream for it, but it bothers her randomly. Basically she's always had skin issues, and her mother and grandmother have thyroid issues that we now know have been passed to her. Here are the results of her first blood test...only going to give you what was "out of range" as well as her thyroid numbers. T3 uptake - 25.9 T4 - 8.1 TSH - 8.32 BUN - 5 CALC/BUN/Creatine - 7 On a food/skin prick test she was "allergic" to almonds, cherries, hazelnut, soy, and green peppers. I know she needs to do an IgG food sensitivity test, but unfortunately we can't afford that and insurance won't cover it. She cut out those foods, and had her blood work taken about a month and a half later. These were her results the second time: Free T3 - 3.2 Reverse T3 - 14.5 Free T4 - 1.11 TSH - 5.07 Thyroid peroxidase AB - 130 IU/ML Thyroglobulin AB - 6 IU/ML Positive for ANA ANA titter 1:1280 Cholesterol - 212 Calculated LDL - 127 So we know she has hypothyroid and an auto immune disorder. I believe its from some form of intestinal permeability (IBS, Leaky gut, etc) but I also think she has high levels of heavy metals, as she's always putting stuff on her skin/hair whether its make-up, hairspray, or dry shampoo. I've told her she needs to cut out gluten and dairy for sure, but what do you recommend for her as far as the next step in testing, diet, detoxing, and overall lifestyle changes? I just ordered a 21 day detox from your store...I'm going to start her on a 7 day detox whenever that comes in, and hopefully have her doing a 21 day detox in January. If money weren't an issue, after the IgG test I'd have her doing a heavy metal detox, candida/SIBO/yeast protocol, and then start rebuilding her gut. What do you think Doc? Thanks for everything you do. I listen to you daily, and I pass your podcast on to anyone and everyone because theres isn't a person it wouldn't help. If you ever want to take someone under your wing and create the next you, you have my email. ;] But then again, you're already creating more of us like you everyday! Thank you sincerely for the knowledge you pass along.

666: Dirty Sweat, Food Sensitivities & Histamines, Hazardous Environment, Lower Abdominal Pain, High Testosterone (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Anonymous: hello! I heard you mention to go backwards to see what has worked in the past. For my acne, growing up I was put on antibiotic "zpacks" 1x a month some years. I was also on 2 separate rounds of Accutane. Both of these "treatments' works while taking them. After I was off the antibiotic or when accutane was done, acne came back. My question is the antibiotic and accutane did different things, so how do i know what is really causing my acne today. today it is on my back, neck and face, sporadic. worst with period but really its all the time. I also ALWAYS break out after a workout, is my sweat dirty? I am healthy and do detoxes a lot. thank you thank you for your advice!  J: Hi Dr Cabral, (Food Sensitivity Question) Thank you for teaching us to take control of our health, research, test and make change. I am working on it but would appreciate some insight from you. I did a food sensitivity test and came back high for the below foods. Someone suggested to me these are histamine based, but I am low for all other histamine based foods. Avoiding yeast is tricky as it is in so many things. I am plant based and gluten free but to now have to exclude yeast, corn and peas is tricky! Pea protein is in all protein powders! And this was always a staple in my morning routine. My primary symptom is chronic pain. Would you recommend I avoid all these foods for 3mths? I also did HTMA which was high for Hg - which I am removing and said I was a slow oxidizer (if this info helps). I take B12, Mg, Selenium, Zinc, Vit B. Elevated Foods (>30 U/ml) Brazil Nut 112 Pea 75 Ginkgo 72 Oyster 64 Egg White 58 Yeast (Brewers) 58 Cola Nut 54 Milk (Cow) 51 Barley 48 Bean 47 Pistachio 47 Wheat 47 Corn 42 Yeast (Bakers) 42 Agar Agar 38 Caesin 38 Flax Seed 30 Plum 30 Thankyou - I will keep listening. Have a great day! J Chirag: Hi Dr. Cabral. I live in New Delhi, India. As of November, 2017, we're living in completely hazardous environment with air quality completely deteriorated now! What can I do to make sure that me and my family are healthy and our bodies completely detoxify those harmful air chemicals! Lauren: Hi, I have had some stomach issues in the past..for the most part i will get stomach pains whenever i eat somewhat unhealthy or off the course of what i typically eat. I get severe lower abdominal pains but not always. I am interested in overall wellness and I wanted to see where you typically tell your clients to start? Does it make sense to get the organic acid test? I also want to do the food allergy testing as I feel it may be wheat. Also, do you recommend hair/mineral testing or stool? I am not sure where to start. Also, i live in NY would it make sense to do everything via phone etc.? thanks so much!! Alex: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm a female with low estrogen and high testosterone levels. I was wondering if you had recommendations on foods or supplements to balance out my estrogen. Many thanks!

660: Cavitations, Low BMI, Ileocecal Valve Dysfunction, Oily Skin, Scoliosis (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral, Could you please explain jawbone cavitations, how we know if we have it and if it really causes inflammation that can have a negative impact on our health. I had wisdom teeth extractions about 14 years ago and my naturopathic dentist recommends addressing my possible cavitations in my jaw. I have had some minor gut issues and what I feel to be moderately severe acne that I have been unsuccessful in correcting. Could this be the answer? I am also having my amalgams removed by a dentist using Dr. Huggins’ protocol. Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated. Zoe: Hi Dr Cabral, I have listened to your podcast religiously since approx episode 200 - you are my one and only consistent and trusted health guru! Thank you so much for all the help and good you do in your community - you are truly making a difference. This is my first time writing in, as i always think that other people's problems are more important than my own (in general and on here - which may say a lot!) - but here goes... I started my own awareness of my health journey 2.5years ago when i realised i was burnt out and looking terrible and had freed myself from a very toxic and negative romantic relationship (abusive partner) and wanted to rebuild my life and my confidence and my health - i cut out sugar from my diet (processed, honey, sweeteners - but i still have fruit and veg and some wholegrains). my died was loaded wih sugar previously so i really noticed a difference in my energy and skin after a month or so - and have been doing it ever since and am constantly looking to better and improve myself and my education. i am a highly stressed anxious type a personality - always on the go and 100% or "nothing at all" in approach to everything. i have many minor ailments -i feel quite toxic (city life (current) alcohol (sometimes) and previous toxins - other substance abuse, medications, sleeping pills) - i try to do some fasting, but i burn a lot of energy (being so anxious!) that i struggle to do it too often - ive probably done 10 fasts in the last year 24-72hrs, although i do practice intermittent fasting regularly (work permitting) - 16/8 fast. Im 5ft 8inch and weight approx 58kg, naturally ectomorph probably 75% with the rest being endomorph (legs) and i eat approx 3000kcal min per day just to maintain this weight (BMI approx 19, i think) even without much conscious exercise (although im constantly running around, fidgety - im sure you know the type!). i tested for overactive thyroid with my MD approx 2 years ago when i changed by diet and suddenly lost a lot of weight (i was very anxious at this time and she said it was the anxiety that was causing the weight loss) -she said i actually had a slightly underactive thyroid!! at this time i was eating 4000kcal per day but now its under control (sort of) at 3,000. Additionally, and unrelated, i suspect there is mould in my (bought) flat (TBH i believe there is mould in a lot of central london properties) and i think that i have chronic inflammation - because it's very easy for me to get inflamed - i see it on my face and water retention if, eg, i eat something i shouldnt/experience a particularly stressful situation. i also believe that i have a lot of toxins to get out of my body - physically and emotionally (based on exeperience of a couple of 72hr fasts that ive completed where i had some slightly scary but eyeopening experiences and insights). i've just completed a 48hr fast (i didnt really notice a reduction in the inflammation or many positive benefits - and felt like it wasnt long enough, maybe because im getting used to them now) and after 24hr hours of my finish time, i became unbearably itchy on my scalp, back, arms and elbow - and it's still going on 24hr later. i have tried researching what it could be but to no avail - i havent eaten gluten recently (in the last week or so). i eat a lot of nuts (because its hard to eat 3000kcal a day and eat healthily without nuts, in my experience!), coconut products, lots of organic veg and berries, some grass-fed meat, i regularly make bone broth and i hardly eat dairy. i wouldn descibe my diet as high fat (200g per day), moderate protein (60g per day) and moderate complex carbs and fruit (maybe 100-130g per day). i dont try to do keto but i need my calories to be high enough to not lose weight, i dont want to OD on protein (as i know it gets turned into sugar, and i dont want to have too much sugar (complex or otherwise). so FAT is the balancing macros! I imagine you are laughing at this ridiculous message by now....anyway - my digestion seems to be worsening - i sense that im not digesting my food properly (i have to eat alot and i dont eat mindfully - which i know is bad for me!). im always in a rush and rarely slow down. my brain is very wired and my job is challenging and the hours are long (lawyer at a hedge fund). im 33 years old and people say i look healthy - i feel like im trying so hard and putting the right organic foods and supplements in my body but that it might be a waste. my skin could further improve (acne, jaw, cheeks, mostly). i dont drink caffeine, work out with a PT twice a week on core and strength, walk a lot and do some cycling. I dont often drink alcohol (although if i do - approx once a month/once a fortnight - it tends to not be moderately, in full disclosure - classic lawyer!). im sure this is the longest question youve ever received but id love to know your initial thoughts - especially on the (extremely annoying and prevalent) itchy which has appeared 24hours ago and any recommendations for any of your tests and/or supplements and foods to avoid. Thanks for much for your help in advance - youre amazing! Jan: Hi Dr. Cabral, Hope you're having a nice day.Thanks in advance for your time and words of wisdom! I'm trying to figure out the underlying cause for a malfunctioning ileocecal valve (valve gets stuck open). I have tried dietary changes, meditation, chiropractic care, massage, cold packs, castor oil packs and all help temporarily but inevitably the valve flairs open and leaves me feeling pretty awful. Could candida or bacterial overgrowth be causing this? I completed your parasite plan and am now a week into your CBO protocol. Do you have any suggestions for supporting the valve? Thanks, you Rock Jan Dustin: I am 35 years old, 6 foot, and 170lbs. I have alway been relatively skinny despite what I eat. One thing I have always struggled with is oily skin and acne. I wipe the oil off my face up to 15 times a day just to appear “normal,” Thoughts? I have recently changed my goals to be more healthy/well. I take your daily protocol, increased my fiber and water intake, and follow a Mediterranean diet mostly with a lot of veggies. I still have cheat meals a few times per week. I enjoy 2-3 beers or a couple glasses of red wine 2-3 times a week. I do not work out enough but live a busy/active lifestyle. I find that I have a lot of gas (flatuence). Thoughts and recommendations? Thank you! Dustin Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am a health coach. One of my clients has scoliosis. The lower part of her spine is shaped like a C. Around her tailbone the area is inflamed and tender and she said that it is almost always like that and causes her pain sometimes. Looking at her back her hips are titled, making her left side a little higher and causing an indent in her left side about belly button level. This is something that makes her self-conscious. Is there anything she can do to help with the appearance of the indent.

Please continue to post more on those types of topics! Additionally, I am new to naturopathic medicine and would like to know how I can learn more and make it a part of my life as well as to share it with others..Are there seminars i can attend? Or a list of naturopathic doctors I that are out there? Or books that should be read? Thanks so much! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, As always, I am so appreciative of the work you do and I truly admire your dedication to helping others! My question is in regards to natural constipation relief. To give you some background, I am a 24 yr old female, and was diagnosed with SIBO a few months ago. I sought out natural treatment with a naturopath and started herbal treatments, however, due to financial restrictions, I have had to temporarily stop treatment with my naturopath for the time being. I started following the low fodmap diet back in June, and I intend to keep this up as it does seem to bring some relief, however, even with this diet in place, I constantly struggle with severe constipation (this was the case even during treatment). I usually have a BM every 2-3 days, however, if I ever even slightly fall off the rails of the fodmap diet, my body is so easily thrown off and I can go a week without a BM. This is incredibly frustrating as even when I 'cheat' on my diet, I still always eat only all natural foods. I am strictly off gluten and dairy, as well. When I am experiencing this level of constipation, I have tried numerous efforts such as aloe Vera, diuretic teas, yoga, essential oils, lots of hot water, exercise, magnesium citrate, etc. sometimes these do the trick, however, lately it seems that no matter what I try I can't seem to get myself back on track. Do you have any other tips for how to overcome constipation? Thank you! Keep up the incredible work. Mary:  Thanks Dr. Cabral for your helpful insight and information for body, mind, and spirit. I've ordered the telemere test and am awaiting my results and I enjoyed a 30 minute consult with you for help on my migraines. My daughter is 8 weeks pregnant and I'm wondering if you would suggest any testing at this point and what she can do to maximize health for her baby. She was on pre/natal vitamins for sometime before getting pregnant and she had no fertility issues at all. She is 30 years old. My husband and I both have the mutation that doesn't absorb folic acid so she's gotten pre/natal vitamins that have folate I believe. But looking forward to your best recommendations. Warmest! Teagan: hello. I am writing in to ask about coffee enemas. I do them about 2x a week and recently have been feeling extremely burpy and bloated and gassy afterwards? Why is this? Should I stop? ( I did switch the type of coffee from the typical organic coffee you woudl drink to "coffee enema coffee" which is light yellow/greenish when brewed vs classic dark brown. You would think since I am removing a lot from my system I'd feel lighter and better (I used to) now I just feel worse after in terms of upper GI issues. what could be going on? Thank you Susan: Hi, my daughter suffers from eczema and acne. A friend told me her daughter used the Candida and Bacterial Complete Protocol and cleared up her eczema. My question is, will it also clear up my daughters acne? Thank you for your quick response. Susan Erica: I've read that manuka honey is a better anitbiotic than perscription drugs. "Manuka Honey is antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic." so says doctor google. I am battling candida, sibo, intestinal worms, hpylori, you name it. Can I take a teaspoon of this every morning? I have so far and been feeling great, but not sure if it is helping or hurting me. I know it has sugar, but since it has so many benefits, the sugar in it isn't the same as your evil white sugar. Thanks in advance for your help! Erin: Hey Dr. Cabral, For the last 6 years I've been getting acupuncture and it has helped tremendously. Mostly to help regulate my cycle, back pain, and my digestive issues that come up periodically. I asked my acupuncturist during my last visit about doing a juice fast for one day. I asked her because I deal with a lot of bloating, usually I go back to my fodmaps diet and it helps but adding back in some of the foods seems to be fine but eventually my bloating comes back and/or I get stomach cramps. She said because fall and winter is yin, it wouldn't be a good idea and also it can mess with my hormones. She recommended to try intermittent fasting up to 12/14 hours from my last meal, and eat smaller meals that are easy to digest and cooked. Dosha wise I'm always a combo of vata-pitta. I'm overall plant-based, vegetarian, no dairy, very rarely I eat soy, and the only gluten I eat occasionally is sour dough I get from a local baker with no preservatives. What are your thoughts? Thank you for your time.

657: How Many Calories Do You Need to Eat Everyday? (TT)

By now you've probably noticed that you can have 2 people that are the same height, but have very different body shapes and sizes... These same two people can literally eat the same amount of calories per day, yet one person gains weight and the other loses weight... How can this be? The discrepancy comes from our unique body types, which allow for many varying attributes - one of which is our metabolism...

656: Foods That Wreck Your Metabolism (WW)

Today I want to share with you 5 foods that when eaten immediately begin to slow your metabolism and deteriorate your health... The reason they do this is because they can throw off your hormones such as insulin, cortisol, and estrogen...

655: The 8 Best Foods for Radiant Skin (TWT)

Although the phrase, "beauty is created from the inside out" is often uttered softly in the skincare world, not enough real merit is given to that fact... The food we put in our body literally decides the expression of our genes, wellness, weight, aging, and even the quality of our skin (and hair)... So when we choose to put high-nutrient quality, skin-nourishing whole foods in our body we are in turn materializing beautiful glowing skin...

654: How to Raise Your Vibrational Energy & Happiness Factor (MM)

I used to believe that I could pull myself out of a depressed state or "funk" by trying to be more Zen or let things just roll off me as if they didn't matter... After all this is what a lot of the current dogma and books preach, but the problem was that this advice simply didn't pan out in the real world... The reason you can't go from feeling apathetic and overwhelmed to Zen is that there are a few other levels in between that you need to ascend up the ladder on in order to reach a higher state of enlightenment or happiness...

653: Weight Loss Nutrients, Birth Control Acne, Complex Cases, Adenoids Removal, Wean Off Meds, Bartholin Cyst (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Megan: Hello! absolutely love your podcast and have the highest respect for you and what you do! That being said, I need your help! I am having the hardest time losing weight! I have a functional medicine doctor that has run many blood labs along with a Nureval test and long story short, the highlights of all my labs were... *a normal functioning thyroid *a healthy gut with no markers for yeast or bacteria, *low progesterone (2.8 on day 19 of my cycle), *high need for vitamins B6, 7, 9 and 12, *high need for vitamin C *high need for alpha lipoic acid, *high need for vitamin D *low glutathione Is all of this what is keeping me from losing weight? I can't understand how I can have a healthy thyroid, eat a healthy diet high in vegetables and yet I am still not able to lose weight. How do you naturally boost progesterone and balance out hormones? Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge with people like me on a daily basis!! Megan Judy: Dear Dr. Cabral, I am so grateful to have found your podcast. I am a 34 year old woman battling acne since my teenage years with the exception of when I took Yaz birth control for about 2 years. I later tried a generic brand to help with acne but it never worked. It has been at least 5 years since I was last on birth control. My acne continues to get worse mostly on my chin and cheeks. I have been on a vegan, plant based diet for almost a year. Several of my digestive issues improved once I gave up animal products such as I can now process beans and most cruciferous foods that for years I just thought I was allergic to. However, my acne continues to get worse. Starting a month ago, I am now taking about 5mg Maca, and 2tsp of flax oil and a vegan epa/dha supplement and eliminating all other oils and my beloved nuts to reduce inflammation and boost my omega 3s which I heard could help acne. However, I am constantly craving sweets especially before my cycle and I often binge on sugar on the weekends. Also, my eyelashes fall out causing bald spots so I started using a lash enhancer to keep the balding at bay although I can clearly see the new growth that is replacing the hairs that fell out. I am also concerned that I have lost my half moons on all my nails except my thumbs which are starting to go away too. Do you have any suggestions on what may be causing my acne, binging, hair loss and nail issues? Is there a vegan solution for me? I look forward to you reply. Anonymous: I’m not sure which tests to order and I’m hoping you can give me some direction. I am Hypo/Hashi x 10 years and still don’t have my health anywhere close to where I want to be in my overall health and life. I am a 52 yr old female. I’m still experiencing some fatigue, some muscle/joint pain especially with a change in routine, exercise intolerance (can walk 4 times a week for 30 minutes but can’t do an hour long gentle yoga, Pilates, or any gentle weight lifting for strength and muscle tone). I am COMT homo, MTHFR Heter, CBS. I KNOW I do not tolerate crucerious veggies in large amounts, sulfur anything gives me a migraine that can last weeks - no exaggeration. I have seen a couple of different ND’s, thyroid nurse expert over the last 7 years and although I am at about 50-60% in my overall health I am not happy with that. I feel like I am running on half my pistons. I wouldn’t doubt mitochondrial issues. I have psoriasis which is 90% improved but still have a few small patches. I am taking a ton of pharmaceutical targeted supplements after doing the AIP diet for a year and half. I have a sensitive constitution (Kapha/Vata about 50/50) and have worked extremely hard on lowering the ‘bucket affect’. I eat a modified Paleo diet, avoid most nightshades most of the time. Gluten and dairy free for 7 years. Very little sugar in the form of honey/maple syrup or low glycemic fruit. Meditate daily for years and walk, do yoga stretches. I take T3, NP Thyroid and LDN 2 mg. I am happily married and have a lot of great support. Stress in managed well. So other than what labs might you suggest I would also like to know if Dr. Cabral would think outside the box with me. If he recommends a ‘protocol’ to treat something, say candidiasis for instance, will he be able to recommend a different care plan if I am intolerant to an ingredient in one of his protocols? I absolutely cannot take Molybdenum and refuse to suffer any more migraines when I know I have tried that, several times in the past, even a tiny doses with dire consequences. I think this is what makes me a more difficult case but I would love to work with him if he thinks he could truly help me. Do you think he could? I am and have been for 7 plus years 100% committed to my health and wellness. I have done a ton of work with old past trauma, addressed environmental chemicals/personal care/diet/lifestyle/addressing hypoadrenia, phase 1/neurotransmitter imbalance/oxidative stress/micronutritional deficiency/genetic deficit, enzymatic, methylation. I am a changed woman in many ways due to his podcast and Motivation Mondays! Thank you for all that you do for all of us. Dominic: Hi Dr. Cabral, I enjoy your podcasts. After consulting ear specialist, doctor for my 2 year old recommends adenoids removal. He has fluid on one ear and the other ear drum is inverted. Don't like the idea of my boy being cut open and body parts removed. Is there an alternative? Thanks you, Dominic Michelle: Hello, I have been prescribed and have been taking Alprazolam for several years for anxiety, insomnia, and to counteract the side affects of Vyvance. This past year I have started experiencing several terrible side affects and when I questioned my doctor she told me long term use is fine. I do not feel well and as I age my symptoms get worse and I want off of this medication!! As my doctor does not want me to go off of the Alprazolam I decided I would take myself off of it but I would like to ask for your recommendation on how best to taper off. Also, I have Gilbert’s which I suspect is affecting my tolerance and overall liver function, but all of the doctors I have spoke to about this have very limited knowledge surrounding Gilbert’s. As this may affect the way my body processes Alprazolam any insight you may have in regards to tapering off and/or any information in general you could share would be grately appreciated!!! Thank you, MIchelle Lindsey: Two years ago, I had a Bartholin cyst surgically removed. I’ve had the cyst come back a few times since then but opted out on having surgery again. I’ve read about the causes of Bartholin cysts but I have yet to find any information on how to rectify whatever is going on inside my body to prevent them from developing. Is the cause diet based or is there something else going on inside me that is causing them to develop? I know there’s an underlying cause and I would much rather correct my body from the inside out as opposed to having multiple surgeries.

652: Dry Patches, Ear Wax, Emotional Issues, Baby Weight, Anxious Acne, Thumb Pain, Skinny Fat, Vegan Omega-3 (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Tyler: Hi Stephen, I am an avid listener of your podcast and I’m pretty sure I have listened to almost every single one of your episodes over the last 14 months. I have learned more from you than I have in all four years of my undergrad. I am currently a first-year naturopathic medical students and hope to follow in your footsteps as a naturopathic and functional medicine practitioner. My question for you is dealing with a chronic eczema-like skin condition that has been going on for about two months. I developed this towards the end of a one month long vacation in Europe during the month of August. I am a very health-conscious individual and follow a predominately vegan lifestyle that includes some cold water oily fish and pastured eggs and avoid dairy, wheat, and refined sugar. I have been following your Dr Cabral daily morning protocol since February and do a combo of hot yoga, weight lifting, and swimming 4-5x per week. I have done your organic acids test and hair tissue mineral analysis test in the last six months as well as an IGA and IgG food sensitivity test. I have known sensitivities to tuna, wheat (but not gluten), cane sugar, and cows milk and my other two tests came back normal. While in Europe, I decided to “live a little” and completely throw my diet out the door. I ate all the wheat, dairy, sugar, and meat I wanted and ate relatively little plant-based foods. I did not exercise during this time as well. The one thing I did bring with me was your nutritional support powder which I consumed everyday. During the last week of my trip, I came down with what I would consider a really bad cold. Very sore throat, swollen tonsils and lymph nodes, chronic red eyes that looked like conjunctivitis that would switch from eye to eye, a stuffy nose, body aches, and clogged ears. During the course of this I try to drink as much fluids as possible, get sleep, and I decided to go back to a more anti-inflammatory diet. After returning to California, I quickly started on your immune support protocol and within a couple days started feeling much better. I also started getting back into my normal eating habits which seemed to help as well. Towards the end of the cold, I found myself itching my quads, buttocks, the back my elbows, forearms, and wrist more frequently because they itched but there was no noticeable inflamed/irritated skin. Within two days of returning from Europe I moved up to Washington to start medical school. I didn’t have a place to live yet which was stressful and found a place right before school started. When school started we hit the ground running and I was under a lot of stress trying to get everything together, school, being sick, etc. Since then, I have developed small red, sometimes inflamed, dry patches of skin in between my fingers, in the webbing of my fingers, palms, on my wrists, on parts of my abdomen, upper chest, the inner quad and growin area, as well as in the upper buttocks region. When not inflamed, it almost looks like caluses you get from gripping weights. It itches. The worst thing is it is gets worse at night and so it is affecting my quality of sleep where I’m constantly waking up or can’t fall asleep. I’ve seen a naturopathic doctor here twice and they have given me a topical steroid to control the itching so I can sleep. Not super effective and I don’t really like using it so I have discontinued. They ruled out the possibility of scabies from physical examination. I have been cooking my own food since moving up here and my stools have been regular and solid/normal looking. The working diagnosis they are working with is dyshidrotic ezczema although the patches/bumps have never been fluid filled. I just started your natural sleep protocol and it seems to be helping some. I also just did a condensed 5 day version of your detox without the supplements and just the powder. Before the natural sleep protocol, I was using CBD oil which was also helping a little bit. I’ve also been trying to take baths consisting of baking soda, coconut oil, and Teatree oil. During this time period, I have also had two canker sore’s in my lower lip that have lasted 11+ days and have been very large and painful. I’ve been using your immune support protocol on and off for the last month. I take at least 3+ grams of vitamin C and 15 to 30 µg of zinc picolonate every day and try to use a sauna every day since my gym offers it. I feel like I’m doing all the right things but it is still persistent. Sorry for the long message. I just wanted to be as thourough as possible. I appreciate your guidance! Lance: Hello, I am a new listener and now follower of your podcast. I am so interested that I am ordering some of the books you have suggested in Ayurvedic Medicine. My question is regarding my children. I have looked into previous podcasts and have not been able to find definitive information on this subject. My children are 6 and 3. Their past Pediatrician mentioned both the children were major ear wax producers. So much so that the medical staff is not able to view the eardrums during a basic physical exam. What is this? Can it be a problem? Is this a Nutritional issue? It was suggested that I use a hydrogen peroxide and water solution or Debrox ear drops to clear the wax. Do you have any advice or suggestions? Thanks for your perspective! Lance Donna: Dr. Cabral, I have concerns over my 11 year old grandson. He is and has been a very bright child, testing show high intelligence. However, in the last four years he has gone through much emotional turmoil with family issues, loss of a cousin, and two additional siblings, he is now the oldest of five. Current issue is he is now in middle school at 11, he does not turn in assignments yet does well on tests. He goes to bed late and does not get enough sleep and is always tired. What in your sleep protocol would be appropriate for him? Loss of sleep and emotional issues is setting him up for failure in my opinion. Thank you for your time. Donna Caitlin: Hi, I'm not sure where to direct the questions you answer in your podcasts, but I was wondering if you had any information/advice about balancing post pardum hormones and safe weight loss methods for breastfeeding moms. I feel like I need a detox, but know I can't really do that while nursing. Any advice? Thank you! Mari (Mary): My questions were some that were missed through the unfortunate reset to the website!!! Glad you got everything resolved. I have been on birth control for 10 years and would like to come off of it a little more graceful than I have tried in the past that left me discouraged and going back on it. I have had terrible cystic acne for the past few years and with the help of your podcast have made some life changes. I no longer eat dairy at all, it causes too many sinus issues for me and skin issues as well. I recently cut out added sugar and I can't believe what that has done for my skin. I currently take the DIM product per the hormone test I had done with you guys previously. I also take the daily multivitamin. My anxiety comes and goes but when it comes, it is so terrible. I tried the CBD and LOVED it.. sometimes its just not in the cards for me to spend the money that it costs, but I do plan on reordering because I loved what it did for me. Last time I got off birth control, my skin became extremely oily, my anxiety got a little better, my back broke out which it never has prior and it was huge cystic pimples. My results were as followed for your testing: Estradoil 1.1 progesterone 39 ratio pg/e2 35 L Testosterone 35 DHEAS 9.8 Cortisol morning 8.6 cortisol noon 2.6 coristol 1.4 coristol 1.5 H Night. I would like to come off birth control without as many issues as I had. I slept through the night when I came off of it and felt like my bladder wasn't as overactive. The physical side affects the acne, the back acne really had me torn and I jumped right back on it. I was wondering naturally with supplementation what I could do to make this maybe an easier transition. Currently, I go through moods where for sometimes what seems like weeks, I am sad and down for a reason I don't know. Mari (Mary): Thank you for all that you do. You have no idea how much my life has changed because of this podcast in the past year. Recently, I have noticed my right thumb killing me. It is hard to open almost anything. I crack my knuckles and fingers and I can't even get it to crack anymore. Pushing down on it even hurts. I did not do anything to cause this, but it is so hard because I have an office job and am constantly using my hands. I recently cut out added sugar of my diet and am dairy and gluten free. Anything would really help. Thank you! Robert: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all of the great work that you do! I've started to focus more on weight-training this coming winter, but I'm at a bit of a loss where to get started. My body type is what some in the industry call "skinny fat" - I have a relatively thin frame (probably ectomorph or combination), very thin legs and arms, a moderate metabolism, and so on. Overall, I have a low body fat percentage, but unfortunately I don't have that natural abdominal tone that many ectomorphs benefit from. I generally eat pretty cleanly, so I'm at a loss what I might be doing wrong. I want a mostly "lean" and toned result, so I'm worried that excessive bulking might be counterintuitive. I've researched online a bit, but encountered very mixed suggestions. Should I minimize cardio? Dramatically increase calories? Any words of advice are appreciated! Lauren: hi, I was wondering if you could help recommend a way I can get omega 3's and get my blood work better. I am allergic to fish so i have to be careful to make sure nothing has fish oil in it etc. I currently got some blood work done and I am low in alot.. (iron serum-53; folate serum -13.2, b12 -381ng/ml, ferretin - 11ng; d3-34; my cholesterol was go, my TSH was 1.030 which i think is low? hemoglobin - 11.8). My doctor said nothing to worry about but, I know based off ideal #s these are low. Currently I started taking vitamin d3 5000, your activated bcomplex, your multivitamin and your daily protein shake. Is there anything else I can be doing? If I want to have a baby in the next 2 years, I know it is impt to get folic acid at a good level too. Any recommendations will be appreciated! Thank you!!

650: Pre & Post Workout Nutrition Done Right (Weight Loss vs. Weight Gain Goals) (TT)

When it comes to pre and post workout nutrition there is definitely not a one-size fits all approach... Things like waiting 1 hour to eat, or eating immediately after a workout to "seize the window" are contradicting statements that are often touted as absolutes, but nothing could be further from the truth... The science lies in a customized approach to fit one's individual goals of whether you're looking to mainly lose weight (fat) or gain weight (muscle)...

I was asked to explain why I don't believe in "disease" as we currently know it and to share my philosophy on how to get well, lose weight, and feel alive again! It was a lot of fun and we got to go deep on some topics I haven't explored in this fashion on my podcast, which is why I'm looking forward to sharing this particular interview with you...

648: My Top 10 Rules on Eating Well (TWT)

Nutrition is one of those topics that can get so specific and tedious that it often holds people back from doing what really matters the most... Essentially, you can make tracking calories, macros, micros, meal timing, etc. your entire day, or you can choose to live and eat simply (and practically)... I understand that my private clients our community members have no interest in making nutrition more complicated than it has to be, but they still want the benefits of looking and feeling great that come along with eating properly... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 648 I'm going to detail my top 10 rules on eating well, so that you can make your meal planning a part of your life, but not your whole life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/648 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

647: Why Doing Nothing Is Worse Than Failing (MM)

I’ve made the analogy before that I’d rather fail 5 out of 10 times and be able to recalibrate than wait for the perfect moment and hope I succeed right of the gate... However, the popular schooling over the last 50 years had been that you should do everything in your power not to fail - We’re told as children and students to do all we can avoid failure at all costs... Not only does this crush our psyche, but it leaves us living in mediocrity while we never really go for our dreams and at the same time living in regret... Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 647 to find out why doing nothing is worse than failing - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/647 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

646: Missed Period, Daily DE, ACV Conflicts, Birth Control, 1st Step in Weight Loss, Immune Damage (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Rebecca: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am in the middle of doing the 21 day detox. After the first week of the detox, my menstrual period came and it was a week earlier than I was expecting it! My periods are usually pretty predictable - every 28-30 days. Can you explain why this happened during the detox? Thanks! Lindsey: What is your opinion on ingesting food grade Diatomaceous Earth for health benefits, such as improved hair skin and nails due to the high silica content, removal of parasites etc. thankyou! Priscilla: Hi Dr. Cabral, When my son was 3 1/2 (about two years ago), his eye started to turn in. At first it only happened every few days, then it was constant. We saw many different doctors with different opinions and finally found a functional medicine doctor/chiropractor. He put us on a plant based, gluten free and dairy free diet. We have seen some improvement, but very slow. Wondering if this is something you have ever heard of and what advise you would have? Thanks so much! Sandy: Confused about apple cider vinegar. Some say it is very beneficial to take before meals with water others warn it is not good to take on a regular basis. What is your thought on this issue. Thanks for your sincere dedication to help as many as possible to better health. Courtney: Hi Dr. Cabral and staff! My name is Courtnie and I have recently started listening to your podcast! I love the housecalls and have been considering sending in my questions there but you always remind us how much longer it will take to hear a response (thank you for that). Well, I’ve had a big problem with weight gain the past couple of years, 10-15 pounds, but I am a 5’1 girl and 10 pounds looks like a lot more on my height. I have really struggled with trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong. I am on a birth control pill (which also helps with my acne that I have struggled with in the past but has recently started to clear up a lot), I had switched to an IUD, which I have recently taken out due to difficulties, and I am back on the pill. I lost weight with the IUD very quickly after insertion and then put it all back on almost immediately after switching back to the pill. I have recently switched to the lowest dose of estrogen pill that they offer in hopes that the estrogen is my issue. I have considered stopping the pill all together but I am afraid it will make my acne flare up. In addition, I eat fairly healthy and I workout 3-5 days a week. If you have any suggestions to offer, I would really appreciate it. Thank you for all that you do! Mark: I first discovered Dr. Cabral via a podcast search and am a subscriber to the Cabral Concept. I am writing to share information about myself and determine which of Dr. Cabral’s protocols may be best for me. About me: 53 years old 6’ 3” tall 235 lbs. which I believe is about 25-30 pounds overweight BMI: 29.4 I’m currently taking Effexor, irbesartin, pravastatin, omeprozale, Glucosamine and Chondroitin, and allergy meds. I use a CPAP machine to manage sleep apnea. I have osteoarthritis in both knees (right knee worse). On a scale of 1-10 (1=poor) my eating habits are probably a 6 on most days—not enough vegetables. Ice cream is my kryptonite. I have found that I can adhere to a 16:8 fast pretty easily and have been doing this for about four months. I lost 11 pounds pretty quickly, but have gained about 5lbs back I do not drink alcohol, but wonder if sugar is the replacement addiction that occurred when I quit drinking alcohol 15 years ago. I do not smoke. I was drinking too much diet cola, but recently quit it altogether. I was exercising but just had rotator cuff surgery so I am limited. I’d like to get a handle on my nutrition and am not sure where to start. What might you suggest in terms of a process for “starting over”? Should I Assess, Plan, Implement? If so, which assessment? Thank you for sharing your expertise. I look forward to hearing from you. Mark Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all the information you share on your podcast. I always go to it when I need some inspiration, when I'm having a bad day and not feeling well. I am 35 years old and was diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome about 4 years ago. I suffer from dry eyes, all over aches and pains in my joints and muscles, POTs symptoms, arms and legs fall asleep easily, exhaustion, inability to exercise much, etc. it's difficult to be so young and feel like I'm 90! It's also difficult to feel so differently than just a few years ago when I was running 4 miles a day a couple times a week. I miss the feeling of being refreshed after exercise. The other piece that has been difficult is that I want to have a family and haven't found the right guy for me and I think my illness over the last few years has held me back. I've been following many of your suggestions. I don't currently take any medications because I don't have faith that they will truly help me. I eat a mainly vegan diet at this point with some fish. Lots of green smoothies, omega 3s, daily nutrition supplement, gluten free, cut out foods that i can tell I'm sensitive too, lots of water, infrared sauna, meditation, etc. I get scared when I see that this is a lifelong condition that progresses. I want to believe that I can get better, but haven't seen that in 4 years. If my immune system has caused damage already to my eye glands and other parts of my body, is that really reversible? What suggestions do you have? Thank you again Anonymous: Hello Dr Cabral- Big fan of your podcast and the helpful knowledge and mindset you embody. I am suffering from some SIBO related autoimmunity and have a pesky issue I hope you can address. My anus is extremely itchy and is a constant nuisance even waking me up and causing me to sleep poorly. I have done parasite testing and am negative and assume (pun intended!) that the itching is related to SIBO and stomach/bacterial/food sensitivity issues. I am currently completing your bacterial/candida/SIBO 3 month protocol but am hoping you can help provide some immediate relief to the itchiness and help me get my life back, thank you for your time and support.

645: Lymphedema, Calcified Kidneys, Low Libido, Detox Sweats, Hormone Acne (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Irene: Hi Dr. Cabral, about 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with lymphedema. The area associated with it is my left ankle. It stays swollen 24/7. Most of the time it isn’t painful, but it looks horrible. It looks like an elephant’s leg. I have these chamber type contraptions that zip onto my legs from toe to groin. A machine then inflates the chambers in order to compress my legs from toe to groin. I’m supposed to “pump” my legs twice a day. I’m not faithful at doing this, but even when I am for a few weeks at a time, I don’t see much of a difference. The same left leg also has about ten areas that have spidery looking veins from my ankle to my knee. Are the two possibly related? Is there a cure for my lymphedema? I’m a committed listener to your podcasts and I appreciate your commitment to helping others get well. Tony: Dr. Cabral, Thanks again for everything you do! I have been sharing your information with almost everyone I know and just completed my OAT and Food sensitivy tests...needless to say I am excited and I have newfound hope on my journey to healing. Now that I have addressed my own issues, I wanted to write on behalf of my wife. She is 29 years old, very fit, and for the most part in good health. She has a history of kidney stones dating back to her late teens. We have been blessed with three children, but each pregnancy progressively got worse with more kidney complications each time. While she was pregnant she developed several stones, passed some, but we know at least one or two remain. This last pregnancy (two years ago) she actually had to have a nephrostomy tube for the last 10 weeks of pregnancy. Her nephrologist said that her kidneys had become very compressed and were not functioning well under the strain. She has had several follow up appointments over the last couple of years and Doctors have deemed her kidneys to be very low functioning due to "kidney disease". They stated that her kidneys are in pretty rough shape and have began to basically "calcify". Is this an actual condition? If so, what can be done to revitalize the kidney and restore its functionality..? Once again, a big thanks! My family appreciates you! JL: Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your podcasts. I have just recently taken a functional medicine approach to my life and I appreciate all the information you give on a daily basis. My question is about female libido. What can be causing a low libido besides the stress of daily life? I cannot accept the diagnosis of hypoactive sexual desire disorder. I feel there has to be a hormonal imbalance that is causing this and can be treated. What is your advice to identify any potential imbalances in the body that could be causing this? Any proactive or natural remedies would be very helpful. Thanks again. Anonymous: For as long as I've paid attention (Approximately two years) about two weeks before my cycle I get night sweats. They stop completely after day one or two of my cycle and are very predictable and consistent. Often times I have trouble sleeping because I'm so hot and I'll even wake up out of a dead sleep sweating like I did a workout. Is this normal? I know body temp rises after ovulation, but is it normal to sweat that much? Judy: Dear Dr. Cabral, I am so grateful to have found your podcast. I am a 34 year old woman battling acne since my teenage years with the exception of when I took Yaz birth control for about 2 years. I later tried a generic brand to help with acne but it never worked. It has been at least 5 years since I was last on birth control. My acne continues to get worse mostly on my chin and cheeks. I have been on a vegan, plant based diet for almost a year. Several of my digestive issues improved once I gave up animal products such as I can now process beans and most cruciferous foods that for years I just thought I was allergic to. However, my acne continues to get worse. Starting a month ago, I am now taking about 5mg Maca, and 2tsp of flax oil and a vegan epa/dha supplement and eliminating all other oils and my beloved nuts to reduce inflammation and boost my omega 3s which I heard could help acne. However, I am constantly craving sweets especially before my cycle and I often binge on sugar on the weekends. Also, my eyelashes fall out causing bald spots so I started using a lash enhancer to keep the balding at bay although I can clearly see the new growth that is replacing the hairs that fell out. I am also concerned that I have lost my half moons on all my nails except my thumbs which are starting to go away too. Do you have any suggestions on what may be causing my acne, binging, hair loss and nail issues? Is there a vegan solution for me? I look forward to you reply.

644: Public Service Warning on Food & Drugs (FR)

Although I believe in all forms of medicine it's becoming increasingly difficult to get behind conventional medicine after the latest news of bribes, deceit, and manipulation... I'm also finding it equally as difficult to support fast food "restaurants" even if they are trying to provide a lower cost option due to their blatant deception of what they're hiding in their "food"...

641: The Winter Supplement You Can’t Live Without (TWT)

Believe it or not, there actually is a hierarchy of nutritional supplements... Superfoods, herbs, and tinctures all fall into the healing category of nice to have, but they do not necessarily meet your body's base-level nutrient requirements... You see, the body actually needs a very specific set of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other cofactors necessary to carry on its daily processes... The interesting thing is that these requirements from a food or nutritional supplement standpoint can change with each season... And, on today's #CabralConcept 641 I want to share with you the winter supplement you can't live without - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/641 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

640: How to Attract What You Want Into Your Life (MM)

To quote Jim Rohn, "Too many of us walk down to the ocean with a teaspoon instead of a bucket..." Many of you already understand that you deserve more out of life and your goals have largely been left unmet... And when hopes, dreams, and goals remain unanswered we are left with a low-level sense of despair, discouragement, and anxiety... So although I agree that goal setting is important, what's been overlooked is how we go about the actual act of goal achievement...

639: Heal Food Sensitivities, Interval Intensity, Test for Bloating, Eye Tics, Boost Glutathione (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Amanda: Hey Doc, Thanks for all your amazing information. You continue to help me guide my clients to the highest form of health. I have a client with quite a great number of food sensitivities. My question is with removal of heavy metals, balancing of the microbiome & healing and sealing of the gut wall is it possible to restore my clients gut health to the point where he is no longer sensitive to so many foods? Thanks!  Jenn: Hi Stephen, First of all I just want to tell toy how much I LOVE your podcasts! They are my listening choice when I am out walking, hey... why not kill two birds with one stone? I get in my physical activity AND mentally you get the wheels turning in my head, thoughts to ponder. I have a question for you in regards to your Podcast #615, looking at HIIT training. At the tail end of the Podcast you summaries the differences in regards to longer intervals = shorter rest and shorter intervals= longer rests which makes complete sense to me now after your explanation. You stated that the shorter intervals should be done at the end of a strength training session for 3-5 hard workouts. Does this mean 3-5 times through or for 3-5 minutes? Thanks for any info you could pass on, Jenn Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I really love listening to your podcasts every morning on my way to work. I'm a female Dietitian, 26 years old, and struggle with gas, bloating and some constipation. I've never struggled with my weight (BMI right around 18) or any health issues, and my hormone levels are always normal. I sleep very well, exercise often and eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, nuts/seeds, sweet potatoes and oatmeal and drink PLENTY of water. To my knowledge, I have no food allergies or intolerances and can't seem to figure out why some days I am more bloated or constipated than others. I started taking a probiotic daily about a year ago, which helps a little, but doesn't fix the issue. I tend to eat similar foods each day and can't find a pattern with my symptoms and some days just wake up bloated or produce more gas than others. It's so frustrating and I feel like I shouldn't have these problems at my age! I never had these issues until about 5 years ago. Any advice or help you can provide would be great! I've listened to your previous podcasts about constipation and found them very interesting. Thanks so much!  Megan: Hi Dr. Cabral, Let me begin by thanking you for being such an incredible resource for all of us who listen to you. I have the highest respect for you and am so grateful for your generosity in sharing all of what you know! My question is in regards to my 10 year old son. Let me give you a bit of the back story. 2 years ago he started suffering with terrible eye tics. It started with rapid blinking and then turned into hard blinks with some facial scrunching as well. It was constant and so sad, very hard to watch him suffer. We did go to a biomedical dr who ran a nutreval and we found he had yeast overgrowth and leaky gut. We cleared up the yeast using biociden and a biofilm supplement along with others that he needed (zinc, B complex, vitamin D, alpha lipoic acid, and restore for the gut). We cleared up the tics quite quickly and really have been symptom free for 2 years. He does flare a little with illness, so when he gets sick he has a little twitch but nothing at all like he had. I guess he is considered a PANS child. We have completed the nutraeval twice since then, the last one being in June. The yeast had returned despite following his food sensitivity diet (we also had the sensitivity test done as well). We started the biociden and the biofilm supplement again and also continued using the other supplements he needs as well. We have followed our plan fairly strictly and have kept with it for 2 years. So I am a bit confused as to why the yeast came back. The last week or so I have noticed some of that blinking again. Not at the same severity it was to begin with but I am confused as to why it is returning and what may be causing the inflammation which would in turn cause the tics? I guess my question is how do I best support the immune system to help reverse this response? What do you think I should do from here to help keep these tics from returning? Thank you so much for your help and I apologize for this long winded question, I just felt it was necessary to explain a little of our background! Thank you again, Megan Megan: Hello! What's your best recommendation for boosting glutathione levels? Levels came back on a nutreval as very low in this area. We have tried using pharmanac and NAC pills but have yet to be successful in boosting these numbers. Thank you in advance!

638: Postnatal Program, DE Cleanse, Acne Struggle, Gut Overgrowth, Food in Stool, Weak Agni, Collagenous Colitis (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!  This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - my question is this: I am currently expecting my first baby (early December). I am choosing to have a natural birth at a birthing center and am hoping that you can steer me in the right direction for postpartum recovery. Some background: After college I didn't have a period for 5+ years. When I got married in 2013 I realized that I needed to address my lack of a cycle if I wanted to start a family someday. My gynecologist told me 'don't worry we'll deal with it when you want to get pregnant' (as in, we'll put you on clomid). Well, I didn't want that. I knew I needed to get my system balanced to avoid more long term problems. I did some testing through a functional medicine doctor, and along with a supplement protocol and some lifestyle changes I was able to balance everything out, get my cycle regulated and ultimately get pregnant (praise God!). Postpartum I want to make sure that I set myself up for success to get my hormones regulated again and specifically make sure my thyroid is healthy (which I know can become an issue for many women during/after birth). Given my history with hormone imbalance I'm wondering if you can suggest what blood tests I should run, and when I should run them (2 months postpartum, 6 months, etc.) to get an idea of how my body is recovering and if I need to supplement. I might add that I will be exclusively breastfeeding. Prior to getting pregnant I was taking KyoGreen for iodine intake as well as some other adaptogenic herbs (ashwaganda, maca root, vitex) for hormone regulation. I'd love to hear your thoughts on going back on these as well as any suggestions you have so that I can be the best and healthiest mom possible!  Jessi: Hi! I have been taking DE dailey to great success I can't put my finger on it but feel it's helping w parasite issue and skin. 2 part question: 1.I want to go through a round of the intestinal cleanse - is it ok to add DE to the doc. shultz #2 powder /drink? for added benefit? 2. for a daily "upon wake drink" can i mix DEearth w psyllium or psyllium husk pills ? i want to keep taking DE every day will start intestinal cleanse as soon as i hear thanks for everything always !  Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've been struggling with acne since April of this year (cheeks, jawline, eyebrows, temples, forehead). I've referred back to all of your acne related podcasts and have done the following: 7 and 21 day detoxes (acne cleared and came back within a week), and food sensitivity testing (reactivity moderate for cow's milk, yogurt, egg yolk, and candida). One of your health coaches had suggested that I try your candida protocol. Back on another 7 day detox, post-travel and additional flare ups. I've also just completed your Weight Loss test to evaluate my hormones (no results yet). My naturopath has also prescribed me Berberine Complex (integrative therapeutics) and CandiBactin-AR (metagenics), since I tested positive for candida and this could be a contributor to my acne. Background - I stopped birth control in December of last year. I'm a vegetarian who eats mostly vegan, but have limited my intake of eggs, since testing (I rarely consume dairy). I'm very frustrated and feel like I have very little control over my skin, and testing/supplements are not inexpensive. Please help! And thank you for all that you do.  Tiina: Hi! I've been listening to your podcast for a while and really enjoy your objective and scientific take on functional medicine. I'm a 23 year old female and been suffering from bad gut issues on and off for around 5 years. I am currently doing an internship and studying on the side and struggling to get through day to day with my symptoms and keep up with my life, even though I have tried to take tone it down as much as possible and only focus on the necessary. My main problems include nausea, stomach aches, feeling very tired, anxiety/mood issues and brain fog. Just to add, I've been on a gluten free paleo diet for several years now and it did help a bit. I've recently had the GI Effects stool panel done and am waiting for results from that to see if I have a parasite or gut infection problem. I've had functional blood tests for lyme and other infections done recently and came up positive for Yersinia and Anaplasma / Ehrlichia and had a high MCV and other markers that point to a B12 deficiency. My question is what can I do right now to feel better? The rest of my lab results will take several weeks and I won't see my functional medical professional in nearly 3 weeks. I understood that it's important to keep the adrenals in balance too (since I would bet in my case they are under strain) but I also want to get rid of all the infections and toxins from my body as soon as possible to feel better. My nutritionist who ordered the tests said that we would start using herbs to cleanse my body of the infections and bugs, but I've read that that might be very hard on your adrenals and body if you are releasing all those toxins all of a sudden. I am just worried I will get bad side-effects and have to take too many days off due to the detox. Thank you so much if you take the time to respond, I'm listening to all your podcast episodes back and look forward to new ones every week! Kind Regards, Tiina Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for answering my questions, I truly appreciate it! My question today is about poop and lack of energy. Im a gluten free vegan and eat only healthy foods, I do not even have a cheat meal! I have done your candida/bacteria protol, I also do your daily shake, your greens and your B complex. Although my digestion is better, I still wake up tired. I go to bed by 10, wake-up at 5:30. Also, I can see undigested food in my stool....like nuts, seeds and even quinoa. I do take digestive enzymes, HCL and a gall bladder supplement as well. Should I be avoiding the foods that I see in my stool? What else can I do to get more energy? I always feel my best when Im fasting, but its difficult to always fast cuz I crave my healthy foods. Thank you  Matt.: Hello Dr. Cabral! Just wanted to say thank you for your life changing/accessible information through your podcasts and site! I've tried to share the information you present with my family and close loved ones, and will continue to spread the word. You are making a difference in people's lives! I wanted to see what information you could give me about collagenous colitis. My mom has this as well as lupus. She hasn't had a bad lupus flare up for a few years but the colitis affects her every day life. She lives a fairly healthy lifestyle but we are confused as to what steps to take to heal this. There does not seem to be much information on collagenous colitis out there and want her to avoid any surgery on her gut unless absolutely necessary. It is a hard thing to approach due to the mixed information we hear about how to heal the gut as she suffers from a lot of similar symptoms of leaky gut but "collagenous colitis" as I understand is the excess build up layer of collagen in her gut not allowing for proper absorption among other things. I would love to hear your input as my mom is approaching 50 this winter and would love to get her on the right track to healing! Thanks so much Dr. Cabral, I'm 21 and so much of what you went through as a teenager resonates with me; as I've dealt with similar issues! -Matt H Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/638 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

637: Use This As the Foundation for All Diets (FR)

I know there are thousands of diet variations on the market, but there is only one true foundation for human nutrition... Meaning, you can choose high fat/low fat, high carb/low carb, high protein/low protein, but in the end unless you're basing your diet plan around low glycemic, anti-inflammatory foods that are high in antioxidants you are missing the mark... Again, this may not matter to you in the short-term, but if your goal is to achieve long-lasting, permanent results I can't recommend enough creating a rock-solid foundational eating plan...

635: What Nobody Ever Tells You About Being Overweight (WW)

I'll be the first person to say that there is no need or benefit to being super skinny, but when I do speak on the topic of weight loss it's because of the health issues associated with it... Many people don't realize that there are over a dozen "diseases" and a half-dozen cancers that increase in risk the more over weight a person becomes... This is why losing weight first and foremost is a health issue rather than simply a body transformation one...

634: The Early Warning Signs of Nail Diagnosis (TWT)

I had previously done a podcast on "What your tongue says about your health," and today I'd like to follow up along the same lines... However, today we'll be assessing your nails and what all the different deviations from the norm may mean... For example, if you have dry, brittle, peeling, ridged, white, dark red, pitted, black specks, white spots, or brown lines they can all mean that there may be some underlying health issue...

632: Nail Ridges, CBD for Anxiety, Liver Detox Tests, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Motivators, Low Libido (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…  Let’s get started! Ronda: I have a deep ridge in one of the nails on my left hand that has been there for close to a year. I have not slammed it in anything so I am concerned it is the sign of an underlying condition. Any and all information on what to do would be greatly appreciated. It has been there for close to a year. I have not seen any doctors regarding it, I have researched and can only find it can be from poor absorption. I suffer from muscle cramps regularly and I wonder if the two are related. I only drink water and have coconut water daily. My diet has not been great until recently when I started your fatlossity diet, which has been great. I have been on it for 2 weeks and have lost weight. Before the diet I still ate pretty healthy eating grass fed and organic foods as much as possible. I am not a big sugar eater but I do love fruit. Mark: Hello Dr Cabral, Hope you are well : ) I just listened to your Podcast on CBD Oil. Last weekend, I went to Seattle last weekend for a Qi Gong workshop which was great and I slept pretty darn well out there! After returning to Colorado, as the week progressed things got stressful and I didn’t sleep so well and got some new breakouts on my face. I’m thinking I should try some CBD for anxiety and sleep. What do you think? Can you recommend a CBD brand or product for me to purchase? Also can you recommend a Naturopath or Functional Med Doc in the Denver/ Boulder Colorado area? All the Best, Mark O Janice: what is the best test to check liver health? can you check if it goes through phase 1 and phase 2 detox? thanks!  Teresa: Hello Dr. Cabral, First off, thank you for the wealth of information you provide to you listeners. It truly has made a difference in my life! My daughter has the symptoms of HS, Hidradenitis Suppurativa. Last year she saw a dermatologist but all they do is suggest on taking some form of medication and to wear tight clothing so that there is no rubbing on her skin. She was not diagnosed with HS but when I looked up her symptoms, everything matches what she is suffering from. She has marble sized lumps under her armpits, occasional groin area, back, and various parts of her body and they do drain pus. I truly appreciate any knowledge and information your can share in helping her heal.  Lo: Hi! I love your MM mondays, and now I almost wish everyday was monday. Unfortunatley I have listened to all of them now, and I wish there was more. Could you please recomend some books, articles or especially podcasts that motivate YOU in your life? Thank you and keep up the good work!  Jennifer: Dear Dr.Cabral, I am 44 and in fairly good health. I could lose about 25-30 pounds and feel perfect. I did the 7 day detox in July and lost about 10 pounds and have kept 9 off so far. I have been struggling with my libido for quite sometime now. I know there is a emotional component involved but I believe it’s more than that. At this point my libido is now at a zero. Can you advise me what test to take or what supplements I should look into? I have not seen a physician for this as I am not interested in medications if I can help it. Thank you for your time. I recommend you to all my clients, family, and friends. Jennifer Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/632 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

631: Autism, Cyclic Vomiting, Lumps, Dehydration, Heal Skin, Stress Induced Illness, Choosing the Right Herbs (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m asking this question for a friend and I will list the problems so its easier. 5yr old boy with Autism Have done many tests: Stool, OATS, Heavy Metals and vitamins Results: yeast overgrowth, high lead, arsenic, aluminum, Clostridium Difficele and E. Coli Child does not have overgrowth bacteria or parasites. He does have MTHFR and CBS gene mutations What would be the order to address his problems so I can help his mom? Thank you so much and I hope one day you can do a podcast on Autism Julie L.: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently found your podcasts and have enjoyed the various topics you cover. I searched on your website for information about Cyclic Vomiting and could not find anything. Here is the story . . . My 17 year old daughter has experienced an unexplained, alternating pattern of vomiting for the past 4 years or so. I often thought it was tied to the flu, food poisoning or other. Her symptoms include nausea, intense stomach pain, and episodes of constant vomiting (this can last up to 3 days). In the last year migraine headaches were added to this list of symptoms and the vomiting episodes became more frequent. Her MD ran a series of blood and stool tests, but did not find anything out of normal limits, including h. pylori. The doctor diagnosed her with "cyclic vomiting syndrome" and high cortisol levels, which is why she felt nausea every morning and had alternating vomiting episodes. She has since been prescribed Zofran Odt to use at the earliest onset of nausea and Rizatriptan 10 MG (SSRI) for the vomiting once it has started. The pills have helped reduce episodes but the morning nausea persists. We were told she would grow out of this. Are you familiar with this diagnosis and do you have any thoughts about this disease? (From a mom's perspective I would add that she is a high comp soccer player and sleeps about 5-7 hours on a good night, comes home after school and has to take a 2 hour nap after school each day. Her diet is ok but she does eat a lot of gold fish and popcorn for snacks). Thank you, Julie L.  Nikki: Hi again! A couple months ago I had a lump in my underarm. It dissipated in a couple weeks and I assumed my body was just fighting off an illness. I've recently gotten 2 more. A larger lump in one (bean size) and smaller in the other (pea size). They are painful to the touch. I'm hoping it's an abscess but have an appointment with my doc soon to check it out. If an abscess, I want to figure out what is triggering the inflammation so I can correct it. Any light you can shed would be great. As always, a huge THANK YOU to you and your team. Your knowledge, time and efforts in providing us this information is so much appreciated. Cheers to our health! Best, Nikki. Jessica: Hi Dr. Cabral! Ive been listening to your podcast religiously for about 6 months and i just want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm positive with your help I can heal my body. I seem to have issues with staying hydrated especially when I exercise. I've been starting my day off with warm water, Himalayan salt, and lime and that seems to help on a daily basis. However, when I go moutain biking in perticular I usually get a massive headache and it takes me about 6-8 hours to rehydrate. I put a good amount of pink salt in my camelback when I ride and it helps but I still usually start to feel terrible about 2 hours after I ride. I suspect this is some sort of auto immune response as I also suffer from Alopecia Areata. That started about ten years ago due to stress and I gave up gluten 8 years ago which helped tremendously. I get like one random bald spot now and then which tells me my body is not in optimal condition. I've been eating pretty clean for about six months, no gluten, hardly any dairy and very little processed foods and sugar. I'd like to know your recommendation on how to treat the hydration situation for the long term as well as your recommendation on what to do in the short term while my body is healing. Thanks again! Jess Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I sent an AskCabral question the other week in relation to slow skin healing and wanted to provide a bit more info as realize I probably didn't give any; - late 20s, juice daily, drink a lot of water, take supplements, generally live healthily - A mark from a spot just above my upper lip from over a month ago still very red and has not healed; I typically use mild acids and "Egyptian Magic cream" amongst other things for marks but no matter what I do spots take weeks to fade (I am pale and scar easily) - Late August at the dentist for a professional hygiene clean left me with a mark on my face; the dentist accidentally sprayed up close the side of my cheek with the power jet spray!! Thankfully the mark has faded with use of La Roche Posay Cicaplast but over a month on there is still a red patch... - Mosquito bites on legs from July / August although healed still leave behind red marks - I am convinced I have hormonal imbalance/candida and hypothyroid which I am trying to correct and this all may be down to a weak immune system. I have started taking a vitamin B complex, primrose oil and a higher dose of Vit C along with all other supplements... but my skin has been very slow to heal since I can remember - I used to take a Roaccutane (6+ years ago, total six months) because scars from getting spots bothered me more than the actual spots themselves!! I am trying hard to strengthen my immune system (will check if you've done an episode on that) but nearly 30 I am a little fed up! Thank you... enjoy all you do :) Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral, Your expertise and generosity with your podcasts is not only a gift to us all but a true inspiration. My question is regarding my Sister in law. She suffers from Fibromyalgia and is soon to be tested for Lupus as well. She is a mother of three, two of them being twin toddlers. She suffers from intense pain throughout her entire body, short term memory loss and depends on a cane. It started with a back injury where she damaged the lower discs in her back. Then with the traumatic occurrence of her losing her mom, it sprung on the disease. Her MD prescribes her Morphine and Opiates, that she takes daily. They have also suggested starting a new plan consisting of horse tranquilizer drugs... She is just about to start a healthy option first called, Plexus. What are your suggestions for her to follow to find a natural solution to her pain or to minimize the impact this horrible disease has on her life? I would love to see her happy and healthy, and the relief of all the stress this illness has caused on her family. Thank you, and all the best. Angela  Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral, Firstly, I would like to thank you for your podcasts and all of the work you do to help people in reaching their health goals. I listen to your podcasts everyday and I so appreciate your dedication and passion to your work! I have a question regarding stress support, specifically relating to ashwagandha and CBD oil. I have heard you speak often of these two supplements and how well they work. I use ashwaganda every morning and feel as though it seems to be working quite well throughout most of the day. However, I notice that I am often most anxious and stressed in the mid-late afternoons. I was thinking of adding a second dose of ashwagandha at this time of day, but thought of perhaps trying CBD oil instead. What are the main differences between CBD oil and ashwaghnda specifically? Is one more potent than another? Thank you again for all you do!

629: It’s Time to Switch Over to Cold Weather Workout Routines (TT)

Believe it or not, it's actually best to change up your workout programs based on the seasons... The reason for this is that most people typically have a "peak season" where they want to look their absolute best for. This means that for the rest of their year they should be planning their workout routines around peaking at the right time... And, one of the best seasons to completely change up your program is in the Winter (cold weather). It allows you to go through certain exercises and rep ranges that you may not do at any other time in the year... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 629 for the reason why I believe now is the time to switch over to cold weather workout routines in order to look your very best when it counts - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/629 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

628: How a Slow Thyroid Makes You Overweight & Unhappy (WW)

Your thyroid is almost like the "watchman" of the body where it's constantly assessing the situation of how you're doing in terms of nutrition, stress, hormones, toxicity, sleep, and exercise... When one of those begins to falter there's usually back-up systems in place in order to rebalance the body and make up for a lack in one area... However, over time your body does not compensate as well and as a result your overall metabolism (a.k.a. thyroid) can begin to suffer and slow...

626: Is It Normal to Struggle in Life? (MM)

I'm not sure if the planets are in some sort of odd astrological alignment, but from what I've been experiencing and seeing all around me there seems to be a general transition happening right now... What's stranger is that many people are at a loss as to which direction to move in. They may have tried to make a pivot in life and for some reason it's not going as planned... The issue is that what you may not realize is that these "growth periods" need to occur in your life - Your life would actually go backwards if this were not the case...

625: Weight Loss vs. Genetic Test, Seizures, Keto Side Effect, Sickle Cell Anemia, Foul Odor, Thyroid Paradox (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions! Here are today's topics: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was looking at your weight loss testing because I'm interested in finding out what my specific body need in order to get on the right plan for weightloss and wellness. I was also reading that your genetic testing can also tell me what my specific body needs in order to lose weight and I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit more about which one would be best? Tania: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am an avid listener (as is my entire family), and I have written in several times. Your advice has been so impactful, so thank you again for all that you do. Giving your time to this podcast is so generous, and I appreciate your response in advance. Today, I'm writing on behalf of my brother-in-law. Last year, while driving, he had a seizure at the wheel. He blacked out completely, and thankfully survived a nearly fatal crash. He woke up in the hospital hours later with no recollection of the crash. I should note that the night prior, he had been drinking alcohol, and was dehydrated when he drove home. His blood alcohol at the time of the crash was 0.05. A few months later, he had another seizure in the evening, after drinking alcohol earlier that day. He has seen neurologists, cardiologists, and has had a multitude of test. The doctors diagnosed him with mild epilepsy, and he has been on Dilantin for at least 8 months. Two nights ago, he had a seizure in his sleep, and woke up feeling unwell and could not recall any events in the last 12 hours. He does not eat well, and works nights. He loves his job, and I do not foresee that changing in the near future. I believe you previously spoke about CBD oil as a potential seizure prevention aid. What dietary recommendations should I be giving to him based on his condition? Do you think a ketogenic approach could help? If so, for how long? Any suggestions you have would be unbelievably helpful. It is so difficult to find advice on this condition outside of taking heavy meds for a lifetime. Thank you once again. Kindest Regards, Tania Vanessa: I have a question for you about microbiome. I, unfortunately, did the keto diet for about six months and lost 40 pounds, which was great, but now that I am off of it, I am constantly getting stomachaches, gas, and even diarrhea a time or two from foods that I ate without any concerns before. In fact, I am sooo frustrated because I am almost daily having stomach issues and I almost NEVER had stomach upsets before this. So, my question is: what is your advice for those who have already screwed up and ate like that for a time but want to fix their microbiome? Side note: I do eat a real food diet free of processed foods - I'm talking, I'll eat a homemade soaked einkorn pancake and experience gas and bloating. I ate chicken stuffed zucchini with homemade tomato sauce yesterday and paid dearly for it. I do immediately take extra probiotics (usually just drink brine from my ferments) but I'm super frustrated but there's seems to be little hope in my research. All I've found is to wait it out? Is there anything I can do??? Donna: Hi there, Dr. Cabral. I'm writing today to get your thoughts on how to naturally manage Sickle Cell Anemia for my 12 year old little cousin who was diagnosed at birth. And I want to make very clear that I am concerned--not trying to be critical of his current treatment. I hope your information can help his family and others who are diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease. To my knowledge, this is how his Sickle Cell is being managed: 1. Large doses of antibiotics 2. Limited physical activity 3. Continuous hydration 4. He takes Leukemia medication (which seems to have kept him out of "crisis--Not sure if it's taken with antibiotics also) Again, I'm just wondering if there are some natural alternatives that might be beneficial for him. I truly value your opinion and thanks so much for all you're doing to make the world a healthier place.:-) Donna Anonymous: Whenever I eat salmon (I only buy wild caught since I saw your IG post where you explained how toxic farm raised is), I notice that a few hours later, I have a fishy vaginal odor, which I presume is from eating the salmon. Is this normal? I don't have this odor any other time, and I don't have any hives or any other symptoms that would lead me to believe that I'm having an allergic reaction. Is this reaction similar to the one that sometimes happens for people where consuming asparagus can cause their urine to have a foul odor? Thanks! Veronica: My daughter, Lauryn, is 12 years old and was diagnosed last year with Hashimoto's and Graves' disease. I have been to many docs, with diet change we have put graves into remission. We are still dealing with hashimotos. She is on LDN, which has helped a ton but still struggling. New functional medicine doc wants to put her on biociden. I would like to learn more about this protocol or how to get her health back. You were recommended by another patient Lisa.

624: Fatlossity, Diatamaceous Earth, Weight Loss Test, Aquagenic, Low Mood, Vaccinations (HouseCall)

We are back with another episode of the #CabralHouseCalls! I'm looking forward to our community's questions today, so let's get started with these Q&As: Monica: Hello, I had wonderful success several years ago with the Fatlossity program so I decided to do it again. Because it has been so long since I bought the original program, I recently bought the Fatlossity 2.0 Diet Plan. I'm excited and ready to being but I'm a little confused about what exercises to perform and in what order. The previous digital condition came with a set exercise program however; the new 2.0 program book only gives fat loss intervals and says to perform them after a 30-45 metabolic resistance workout. I don't know where to begin with the metabolic resistance workout. Would a Zumba class be the same? Thanks Toni: Quick question! Can I put a teaspoon of Diatamaceous earth in my morning coffee and / or oatmeal every am as a part of my daily parasite and overall healthy belly routine. Is it still effective this way? Should I be taking your healthy belly probiotic daily as well with breakfast? thank you.  Jennifer: Hi Dr. Cabral, My name is Jennifer, and through divine intervention I found you. In July I had a week off of work, so I completed the Cabral 7 day detox. i have never experienced a detox before, so safe to say I had no idea what I was getting into. First off, I came to realize VERY quickly that a large part of my daily routine is thinking, planning, shopping, preparing, and eating food. When you don’t eat for the first 2 days you have free time that you didn’t know you would have. I came to an understanding on how time consuming food really is in our daily lives. in stating that, when day 3 arrived I was so happy to incorporate food again.The plan was so simple and easy to follow. I thought, “ Im going to breeze through this” however, I was very wrong. I work in a salon with many many chemicals in my daily life. Not to mention the roller coaster of poor food choices in my life and what damage had built up from that. Prior to the detox I could work out endlessly and really not budge the scale at all. Weight has been a life long issue for me. So as day 3 went on my body became really weak and I didn’t have the energy I had before when it came to my workouts. My brain was starting to reel from the detoxification happening and I actually was uncomfortable in my own skin. By day 4 I felt skittish and afraid to even talk to people. I felt so terrible that I was worried I wasn’t going to make it to the end. I knew I was toxic due to a lifetime of exposure to unhealthy things, but wow! Well, day 5 came and it was like the dark cloud lifted! I felt amazing! Each day became better and better. I didn’t have a starting weight but knew about where I was. When I was done I did weigh myself and I lost probably 5-7 pounds. I continued strong on your eating plan but have wavered quite a bit in the last couple months but have continued to lose weight. My body and brain feel better than they have in a very long time. I plan to do my next 7 day detox in the next month. So thank you for your research and creation of your supplements and detox. I listen to as many of your podcasts as I can. I recommend you constantly. My first question is regarding my daughter. When she was around 7 or 8 she showed me this rash on her hands and said when her hands come in contact with any form of water this is what happens. This white raised bumpy skin was between her fingers and almost looked like blisters or skin that was going to peel. Fast forward to now, she is 18, and the rash has come and gone since then. It now covers most of her palms. When it is severe the skin pulls tight and can be painful until her hands dry out. Usually it takes about twenty to thirty minutes for her hands to completely return to normalcy. When her hands are dry, you can see remnants of whits spots on her palms. It does this in any type of water and can be severe to slight; sometimes it goes away all together. We have tried organic products as well, and that helps, but it doesn’t go away, so we think its water itself. We have only been to one doctor and they have no idea what it is. At the moment it's at a medium degree. I attached a picture, and wonder if you might know what it is or what to do. My second and final question is regaurding your weightloss blood test. I have been experiencing a steady decline in my sex drive for many years and as of now I virtually have no sex drive at all. Would that specific test measure my hormone level to see if thats whats wrong? Thank you for your time. I look forward to your advice! I tried to attach the photo of my daughters hands but it won't attach. If you would like to see a photo please just let me know where to send it and I will. Thanks again!!  Tim: Hi Dr. Cabral My wife swears by your podcast and says your the smartest person she doesn't know. She's very much into health and wellness and I've watched how much your advise has helped her and in turn helped me in my health, so far. So, my question today is about anxiety and depression. Ive battled for years and tend to have anxiety attacks often and it prevents me from traveling outside my town. I've been on claorasapan as it works instant to help with my anxiety attacks, but don't want to rely on it. I have little to no energy and I drink beer just to try to cope with my anxiety but again, not healthy. I've gone to a naturalpathic doctor and had my neurotransmitters tested and she found that my Gabba, seratonin and dopamine were depleated. I wanted to know what you would recommend to heal from anxiety completely. Thanks, Tim  Jen: Hi Dr Cabral, It is now a requirement for my kids to have all their vaccinations, in order for my kids to attend public school. I've heard the rise in Autism and ADD and ADHD, strange growths, etc. have been linked to these vaccination. I see the significance in getting these vaccinations, especially certain ones like the HPV virus, but when I read the ingredients, I'm shocked to find that they contain aluminum, dead fetal cells, formaldahyde, mercury, etc. wonder what your opinion is on the vaccinations? Is there a way around these? Thank you Jen Marge: Hi Dr. Cabral I am in my late 60s and I have a family history of Alzheimer's. My question today is what can I do to prevent to getting Alzheimer's?

Although I have previously reviewed this style of "dieting" before I have gotten so many questions on intermittent fasting (IF) and which form is best, that I thought it deserved a more thorough discussion...

620: The 5 Facial Signs You Have a Food Sensitivity (TWT)

Food sensitivities are one of the most misunderstood health issues plaguing our culture... Since a food sensitivity isn't a direct allergy that could result in death or an immediate disease symptom, they are often overlooked... However, what a food sensitivity does is cause short and long-term stress on your immune system that can eventually lead to what we label as "diseases." This means that eating certain foods (even healthy ones) could be causing your immune system unknown stress unless you know what to look for... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 620 to find out the 5 facial signs to see if you may have a food sensitivity - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/620 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

619: How to Break Negative Thought Patterns (MM)

An ancient secret was known to all philosophers of almost every culture thousands of years ago before it was "lost" in today's modern society... At one point a general knowledge existed that our deepest thoughts are what ultimately lead to our feelings, which eventually manifest themselves in our actions... And those actions eventually become what we see in our lives. The problem is that we don't always like what we see and we don't feel we really asked for what we're currently getting... So on today's #CabralConcept 619 I want to explain how to break those negative thought patterns leading to the less desirable parts of your life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/619 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

618: BioRegulation Therapy, Hydrotherapy, Jumpy Legs, Mesomorph Diet, Head Cramp, Heartburn, Meat vs. Plant Iron, Shake Anxiety (HouseCall)

Our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend is here featuring these amazing community questions! Nina: Dear Dr. Cabral, Thank you for the very reasonable, thorough, and integrated information on your podcast and website. I feel I have benefited tremendously from what I have learned from you and from some of your products. I am wondering if you have a take on the efficacy of "bioregulation therapy" (BRT) or "pulsed electromagnetic field therapy" (PEMF) and the devices that supposedly provide these treatments. (For instance: http://www.brtamerica.com/mobilewellnessultra.html) BRT has been recommended to me as a treatment that has a lot of research associated with it, but it does sound a bit like science fiction. (For instance: http://www.brtamerica.com/research.html) Some non essential background information about our situation: I have been listening to your podcast and interested in "alternative" therapies since early 2016 when I removed all my symptoms of psoriasis and autoimmunity through diet, lifestyle change and water fasting. Despite eating carefully and taking good care of myself since then, I am still dealing with some minor health complaints and would prefer to improve my situation before anything more serious develops. But my issues are minor compared to others in my immediate family, and I am primarily interested in the technology on their behalf. My husband and sons have a range of inflammatory conditions: chronic back pain, arthritis, IBS, severe allergies, eczema, ADHD, difficulty sleeping, severe irritability and all around cantankerousness. While they watched me heal the disgusting bleeding plaques that had covered much of my body and face through diet and entirely natural means, my spouse and sons don't want to change their food, medication or daily habits. Part of the problem is perhaps that they are too cranky, tired and pessimistic to consider change. (The other possibility is that they will always resist as I have become too annoying in my desire to help them improve their health) At any rate, I am hoping to find some sort of therapy that might gain us some ground so that we have the fortitude to eventually try other changes. Thanks so much for your time and kind assistance! Nina  Lisa: Appreciate you and your staff! Here are my questions: What are your thoughts on hydrotherapy? What might be the causes for tingling in legs or "jumpy" legs primarily at night but also occur when I'm getting a pedicure? Know that I'm celiac and follow a Palio low glycemic lifestyle with a healthy diet of mainly fruits and vegs, little dairy, rice and meat. Exercise 3-5 days a week with moderate strength training using weights and cardio using an elliptical or fast walking. Thanks!  Adalyn: Hi Dr. Cabral I just purchased your 21-day detox as well as your heavy metal detox. I have two questions. I am interested in what to eat after in order to stay healthy and feel my best. I've heard you talk a lot about ectomorph and endomorph body types and what works for their types as far as a good diet to follow, but I want to ask what you would suggest as a good diet plan guideline that works for a Mesomorph body type? My second question is, what would be a good workout for a Mesomorph body type to get ripped muscle definition? Dan: Hello! I am writing to you (due to the gf) about a pain I recently had. I went surfing the other day with a wetsuit, and when I got out of the water, I felt nauseous and then about 5 minutes after I had sever cramping in my head. It felt like the muscle around the skull was cramping around my forehead. Not like a throbbing headache, felt more muscular to me. The pain/cramping started in the middle of forehead and then seemed to wrap around to the sides. Lasted about an 1.5 hours. I massaged my head and it seems to dissapate. Have you heard of this, or is this something I should be worried about. What could have caused this? Thank you!  Jess: Hello! My husband has been complaing about heartburn on and off now for the past few months. Sore throat off and on. Also acid reflux pains. He has been taking baking soda, which seems to provide relief. Couple questions. 1. What causes heartburn? 2. does lemon water help heartburn? 3. He also has toe fungus that won't go away, connection? 4. how to prevent and what to do when it happens? Thank you so much for everything you do. We need to clone you! Anon: My husband believes he needs to eat meat for protein and iron. I told him this isn't so but of course he doesn't take my word for it. can you please set him straight, and also add top veggies/beans/grains with most protein. thank you! Nikki: Hi dr Cabral, Been recently introduced to your podcast and decided to look into your methods and try some. About two years ago I lost 100 pounds and now weigh around 150. Right after the weight loss I had onset anxiety and panic attacks so bad that I had to quit my job. I did a ton of research and couldn't find much of a real answer as to why I have it. After listening to your podcasts, I decided to try your detox system but the first shake I did I got super bad anxiety I'm thinking from all the minerals or nutrients in it? Any ideas? I drink homemade organic kefir daily with vegan one protein powder. I eat pretty much a paleo diet and consider myself decently active and in good health. Please help! All I want is this debilitating anxiety to go away and live a normal life. Any help would be really appreciated!! Love your podcast!! Claire: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a question about tooth cavities and if they can be healed or at least stopped. My dentist says that I have a cavity on one of my wisdom teeth around the gum line. The tooth has grown in sideways on a 45 degree angle towards my cheek so the side with the cavity is hard to brush and often gets food stuck in the area. I've been diligent about cleaning it but I worry it's getting worse. My dentist says because of the angle he isn't able to get a drill back there to fill it and that if it does get worse I may have to have it removed, which I would like to avoid. Is there anything I can do to halt this progress diet or cleaning wise? What happens if I just leave the cavity to get worse rather than have the tooth removed; will it affect other teeth? Thank you for your help! Claire Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and I hope you enjoyed all the Q&As and tips added in along the way! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/618 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

617: Renal Stenosis, Glaucoma, Damp Feet, Vegan Omega-3, Cavity, Eczema Test, Racing Heart Rate (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our first HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to answering our community's questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging so let's get started! Here are today's questions: Melanie: Hi Doc, Any clinical pearls on renal artery stenosis? I have been looking for a supplement protocol. All I can find is proteolytic enzymes and chromium to support the arteries. I was hoping you had some herbal remedies to suggest? I am well aware of lifestyle and diet being huge factors. Thanks for all you do for us! I appreciate all you have taught me! Leilani: Dear Dr Cabral, Thanks again for your great podcast! I did a search and couldn't find anything on glaucoma. My dad is 71 years old and has glaucoma. He had valves inserted to regulate the pressure. He now takes two different kinds of drops and has to do daily eye massages. The drops gives him terrible black circles around his whole eye socket, it makes him look very sick and old. I was just wondering if there is anything you can suggest in general to help glaucoma sufferers. He doesn't take any supplements and doesn't have a particularly healthy diet either. Would vitamin C and/or astaxanthin supplements be of any benefit? Very grateful for your time and assistance, thank you in advance for your advice and suggestions. Thomas: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for always taking the time to answer our questions. This may seem like a strange question but whenever I take my socks off my left foot is dry but my right foot is always just a bit damp. I am a lefty. I have noticed this for as long as I can remember and was just wondering if there was some type of medical meaning behind this?? Thank you Dee: Hi Dr Cabral, Could you recommend a good way to get enough Omega 3 on a vegan diet? We eat chia, flax, hemp and berries often, but I wondered if I should also be supplementing it? We do use your all in one powder, your fruit and vegetable blend and gut support daily. I noticed you have omega 3 on your site, but it's fish based. Wondering if there is a good vegan option? Thanks!  Ashley: I recently discovered that I have another cavity, or maybe it is the same cavity, located in between two molar teeth, that has become wider and more serious. I know I need to get more fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, K, so I started to supplement with Wiley's Finest Wild Alaskan Fish Oil, Orange Burst. This supplement has vitamins A and D. I try to eat more organ meat like chicken liver, and fish like sardines. I do not use fluoride products on my teeth. I use OraWellness brand and other natural products on my teeth and I think they are slowly helping a little. I plan to purchase Fermented Skate Liver Oil capsules, which has all the fat soluble vitamins and Blue Ice Royal Blend capsules, which is a mixture of 1/3 butter oil and 2/3 fermented cod liver oil from http://www.codliveroilshop.com/ After doing a little research, I suspect my tooth decay is due to my intestinal problems. I usually have constipation and other health concerns that would be helped if my intestines were cleansed and working at their best. The earliest time I got an appointment at my dentist was early next month (October), so in the mean time, I'm also considering skipping the Organic Acids Test for now and going straight ahead and purchasing your Candida & Bacterial Complete Protocol and Constipation Support. I am only 26 and I do not want to lose any of my teeth. What do you think about the supplements and products that I have been using? What do you think about the supplements that I plan to purchase? What else do you suggest I do to preserve and remineralize my enamel? Thank you for your excellent podcasts!  Rose: Thanks Stephan. I have been listening to your podcasts for a couple months and really enjoy your balanced approach to health concerns. You are not dogmatic. I have a niece that is suffering from eczema and so is her 5 year old daughter. She has tried food eliminating and natural pathetic medicine but it keeps flaring up. She does have a quite a bit of stress in her life but she is getting help with that. We have good natural path doctors locally but I find it is difficult to find a good doctor that will do testing. What tests do you recommend for eczema? Thanks so much. Also, I am a post menopausal women that would like to get optimal health I know that I would like hormone testing but would like advise too as to testing.  Cara: The 2 weeks leading up to my cycle or a couple days for and weeks after a full moon, my heart rate at night is 10 beats higher than normal and my body temperature is up 1 degree. This causes me to wake up feeling like I worked out all night and am exhausted. I can't seem to figure out what is causing this. I am 48, female, 5"2', 112 pounds, love to workout but it's hard when I don't feel like I've slept. I eat a low FODMAP diet, and Paleo. Thanks for any insight Thank you for tuning and be sure to check back tomorrow as I answer more of our community's questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/617 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

616: A 6,000 Year Old Discovery Holds the Answers to Healing What Ails You (FR)

Much of the health, wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging information we're uncovering today is actually more of a "re-discovery" than a new breakthrough... The reason I say this is that there are 6,000 year old texts that very succinctly lay out how to overcome dis-ease, weight gain, and pre-mature aging... The issue is that these texts are very rarely studied and because of that most people (and doctors) are missing out on the potential "cure" to what ails them... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 616 for all the details on a 6,000 year old discovery that holds the answers to healing what ails you - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/616 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

615: Re-Thinking the Best Intervals & HIIT Workouts (TT)

I often find myself in the interesting predicament of knowing something is working in my practice, but don't have the science to back it up... Many health practitioners and personal trainers share this same sentiment and get frustrated with the lag time between research and the real world... Meaning, often times practitioners of their craft will be doing things that are getting people fantastic results, but the data won't show up on Pubmed or in the scientific literature for a decade later... I've found this to be especially true with interval training and on today's #CabralConcept 615 I'd like to explain why we should begin to re-think the best interval training & HIIT workouts - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/615 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

613: Learn From This Ayurvedic Breakfast & Morning Routine (TWT)

There's a lot of debate going on right now about the perfect breakfast and what it consists of... Some say it should be high fat, others recommend high protein, a few say high carb, while another whole group suggests skipping breakfast all together... Whenever, there seems to be this much confusion and debate I like to reference the many thousand year old Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine manuscripts... After all, we humans have had a lot longer than just 150 years of "modern science" in order to figure out what works best for the human body...

It's one thing to be focused on getting well, losing weight, or being happy, but how you go about it is much more important...

611: Many Ailments, Scaring Solutions, Nutrient Deficient, Acne Marks, Double Chin, Shoulder Injury (HouseCall)

We're back with our 2nd day of Cabral HouseCall questions submitted by our online community. I'm looking forward to getting to more of these Q&A's so let's get started! Cara: Hello, Dr. Cabral!! As always thank you for your commitment to helping as many people as you can. This one is for a dear friend of mine: My friend is 48 years old and this is her litany of ailments: -Hashimotos -Lupus -RA (but thinks its misdiagnosed) -Catabolic -Infrequent bowel movements (only a couple a week) -On antibiotics from birth to 12 years old (everyday) -Metal in hand from an injury -No OTC or prescription meds since 2006 other than 90 mg of Armour - She's about to be without insurance and regular doctors are mis-reading her thyroid numbers and she is a "crazy" person when she comes off the Armour...doesn't know how to get this prescribed while she gets to the root cause. What tests / protocols do you recommend ...she is desperate and the type of person who helps EVERY but herself. In gratitude, Cara  Chelsea: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge with us. I recently starting listening to your podcast and I can't get enough. I have two questions for you. First, I had surgery about 8 months ago (breast augmentation) I'm wondering if there is anything you recommend for scaring? Second, I am a relatively thin woman, workout regularly, but I've been noticing some slight weight gain in my face and in my chin. This may be genetic, because a lot of women in my family have double chins. Is there anything I can do to slim down this area? Thank you in advance!!  Amanda: Hello, I have a question about your products. I feel as though I am nutrient deficient, but i can only get one of your products. Would you recommend the daily nutritional support or the activated multi in my case? Thanks Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, what would be the main reason for skin to take so long to heal? Whether it be from acne, mosquito bites, scar, bruise etc? I typically find any hormonal acne marks I get takes months to disappear so by the time one fades I am trying to get rid of another! I know I have some health issues (candida, hypothyroid) that I am trying to resolve and these may well be part of the reason but I wondered if there was more reason than this and if there is something I can do to help it heal much faster moving forward. Thanks so much  Josie: Hello! I am an adult (33) female with acne on back, shoulders and neck before every period. Every time it finally clears up, it is back again! I have also struggled with acne my entire life. And it seems to be ruining my life. Could this now be due to PCOS? or Parasites? Is there a way to test for both in one test? Would CBD oil help? Any other help with this would be fantastic. Thanks a bunch.  Steph: Thank you in advance for all you do! For the past 6 months maybe more, my left shoulder has been bothering me. And it is only getting worse. I sometimes wake up on my left side, and then it takes a coupe hours before it seems loosened up for the day. It cracks more than the right shoulder when moving it, and I seem to be using it less naturally. I can't really do pushups anymore, or even 5lb weight shoulder exercises. It is a dull pain I have been able to live with, but now I am afraid if I don't do anything it will get worse. I am a healthy, thin, fit female and enjoy working out. What can I do ? What could be causing this? I don't remember any particular injury, always light weight workouts / pushups and yoga. - - -  Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/611 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

610: Gut Issues, Esotropia, Leaky Gut Powder, Hypothyroidism, Crohn's Disease, Low Cholesterol, IBS/Acne (HouseCall)

Hello and welcome back to another Cabral HouseCall where we answer our community's questions each and every weekend! So let's get started - Here are today's questions: Morgan: Hi Dr. Cabral and crew, Many thanks to you and your staff for the incredible work you do! Do you have any suggestions for overcoming secondary amenorrhea. I am a 30 year old female lacking menstruation for the past 18 months. I am hypothyroid and have digestive health issues including parasites, candida/SIBO.I was previously on a keto diet and had additional weight loss from chronic digestive distress. I believe both factors and high stress levels contributed to my body shutting down menstruation. I am currently gluten, dairy and grain free and almost back to my normal body weight. I plan to complete your parasite and candida/bacterial protocol. In the meantime, do you have any lifestyle, herbal or dietary recommendations for getting back my period? Strategies for increasing carbs without worsening candida/SIBO symptoms? Thanks for taking the time to answer my question, I sincerely appreciate it. Cheers, Morgan   Priscilla: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to your podcasts all the time and this is an issue that I have never heard you talk about. I was curious if you would have any background with my situation. My son is now 5 1/2, but about two years about he woke up and one of his eyes was turned in. We went to about 7 different eye doctors and surgeons who told us different things and then we started working with a functional medicine doctor/chiropractor. We have been gf/df for over a year. There has been some improvement in his eye, but it is still turned in much of the time. Have you ever heard of this or have any experience working with this? Thank you so much for any help or insights you may have!   Christine: I have recently been diagnosed with leaky guy through a food sensitivity test. My naturopathic doctor recommends a glutamine gut repair powder (Glutamine Forte by Integrative Therapeutics), but it has corn derivatives associated with it. I would like to use Cabral's Gut Building protocol Basic instead, a 3 month supply. Is this the correct substitute? Please let me know so I can purchase asap. Thanks, Chris   Deia: Hello, I am asking to be advised on the proper lab tests to purchase from you, Dr. Cabral. My husband Shaun has suffered several years with thyroid issues had his right lobe removed at age 21 and was told it was benign. At age 49 he recently was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and hashimotos disease. He also had a sleep study done for sleep apnea and was told he was fine but suffers greatly with sleep issues. I just happened to stumble upon Your podcasts and am first so thankful I found you but also convinced this is the place we need to be to help my husband get his health in the right order. He has been suffering since his early 20's and now is 50 years old. He of course, having hypothyroidism suffers with overweight issues and has tried to exercise but is overly and abnormally exhausted and thus, does not get too far with his workouts. Can you please direct us in ordering the proper tests and or your advise on what we need to do first. Much appreciated, Deia   Irene: Hi Dr. Cabral, this week, my 10 year old nephew was taken into Texas Children's hospital here in Houston. After many blood work tests, a colonoscopy, upper GI's, etc., he has been diagnosed with Chron's Disease. As I type this, they are doing and infusion of meds through an IV. What can be done for him in regards to "healing". From what I understand, there is no cure for Chron's. Please let me know what his parents need to do to help him manage this. As a 10 year old, I think it is going to be tough to do. Although he's only been feeling sick for about the last month, his primary physician said he's lost 27 pounds in the last two years. Thank you for ANY help you can give.    Stephanie: I have one more question for you about cholesterol this time. At my last Appt with my natural Dr she mentioned she was worried about my cholesterol being too low (which I eat a plant based diet so I wasn't surprised it was low). It was 127 and she said she wants to see it in the 160-200 range. My LDL was 70 and my HDL was only 42 which i know is low, but I am guessing this has to do with my overall low cholesterol number. She is encouraging me to try and raise it through adding more oil to my diet in a great amount (since I don't eat meat). Do you think I should raise it, and if so how would you suggest? Thanks!   Annette: Hi Dr. Cabral, First off I just wanted to thank you for all you do. I am a regular listener to your podcast and your insights have helped dynamically change my outlook on life. I look forward to listening each and every day. I am writing to you on behalf of my boyfriend. He has 3 glaring issues with his health which he has dealt with his whole life. No doctor has been able to help him overcome any one of these issues and I cant help but wonder if there's something you could suggest, and I'm also wondering if these three issues aren't somehow related to some larger underlying issue. The first is that he has IBS-like symptoms, but only in the morning upon waking, or throughout the whole night if they're bad. Cutting out dairy seems to have helped a bit but the symptoms are still there. He has gone through periods of cutting out other things like gluten and again, it eases the symptoms a bit but not totally. The second issue he struggles with is cystic acne. He has very large pores and is constantly troubled by acne, which he says has been there his whole life. The third and probably most prominent symptom he has is crippling anxiety. It affects his entire life and sidelines him at least once a day. It puts strain on every aspect of his life, his job, our relationship, his relationships with friends and family and not to mention his own well being. Thanks so much for your help and insight again. I very much look forward to hearing your suggestions and advice!   Thank you for tuning in today and be sure to come back tomorrow as we answer more of our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging question! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/610 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

609: Is This Supplement Better Than Bone Broth For Your Gut? (FR)

I get asked all the time how it could be possible for so many people to have gut based issues... The reason is actually simpler than you would think: Environmental toxins like heavy metals and plastics combined with NSAIDs (Ibuprofen), alcohol, birth control, processed food, fried foods, stress, antibiotics, tap water, and numerous other man-made products all contribute to a break down in the gut... This can then lead to every known dis-ease we've come to give a name and prescribe a drug for... The great news is that just like bone broth there are natural nutritional supplements proven to help protect and rebuild your stomach and intestinal tract to keep you healthy and strong! Tune into today's #CabralConcept 609 for the details on a nutritional supplement that combines 5 food extracts proven to be even more powerful that bone broth at healing and sealing your gut wall - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/609 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

607: When to Complete an Intestinal Cleanse (WW)

I'm not sure who came up with the line, "a clean colon is a happy colon," but nevertheless there is a lot of truth to that... The reason for this is that a stagnant or corroded intestinal tract can lead to malabsorption, reabsorption of estrogen and other toxins, as well as bacterial imbalance... So the goal isn't necessarily to completely "clean out" your intestines, but it is to create a balanced microbiome between all inhabitants... One of the best ways to do this is with an intestinal cleanse and on today's #CabralConcept 607 I'll share with you why, when, and how to complete one - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/607 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

The worst time to think about your brain health is after you get the diagnosis of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, memory loss, or some other brain related dis-ease...

Izziness, We're back with our 2nd day of the Cabral HouseCalls and I'm looking forward to sharing with you more of our community's questions... Let's get started! Leilani: Dear Dr Cabral, I have tried dry brushing twice and each time I start off, I'm fine for around 2 to 3 weeks after which my legs start to itch! I brush for a few minutes before showering and then when I dry my legs after coming out of the shower, they will not stop itching for quite a while. Rubbing with a towel or just my hands make it feel better for a little bit, but then it just starts off again. At first I didn't see anything strange (like a rash) but when I looked closer I could just slightly make out some small white spots...? Eventually the itching will go away (10 - 30 minutes later) but sometimes when I sit on the train (when my legs make contact with something, usuly wearing trousers) it can kick off again. After I stop with the brushing, my legs will continue to itch after showering for up to a month. I only moisturise my body with coconut oil, I have for years now, so I know it's not that. I only use natural soaps from the health food store, also have done so for years, so I don't think it's that. Our towels are cotton, always have been. This occurs whether my legs have been shaved ot not. We don't have a water filter in our shower and the water is quite hard - we've lived in hard water areas for many years and it didn't do anything to my skin, it's just when I start dry brushing. The brush I have came in a gift pack with some natural skin care profucts, so I assume the bristles are natural, but it did 't say. The last time I tried I made a point of not rubbing too hard, just making very gentle strokes. But just before I stopped again the second time, my arms also started feeling itchy although nowhere near as bad as my legs. I did take Roaccutane when I was a teenager, which dried out my lips to this day. Could it have had an effect on all of my skin? I do get stretch marks very easily and whenever I go for a facial I'm told my skin is quite dry. I drink a lot of water and herbal tea during the day, is there something else I can try? Dry brushing seems like such an easy thing to do to benefit your health, it's just so annoying this happens when I try. Thanks again for your amazing podcast and especially all the time you spend educating all of us on a healthier way of living. It is so very much appreciated.   Marie: Hi Stephen, I have an itchy patch on my gluteal cleft and sometimes also around the anus. It gets worse around menstruation. I did have candida overgrowth a couple of years ago and did a cleanse to balance things out. I'm wondering if this could be a yeast issue or something else. I'm in my 30's and have an active lifestyle. I occasionally drink matcha and have chocolate (Hu Kitchen/Eating Evolved) sweetened with coconut sugar. I don't eat dairy & occasionally eat gluten. I mostly shop at the farmers market & whole foods eating little to no processed foods regularly. Thank you in advance for your time and thoughts. I really appreciate listening to your podcast because you give so much information & you've taken the time to study both eastern & western medicine.    Tara: What can you tell me about seborrheic dermatitis? What are the causes and what are the treatments? And will lab tests help determine root causes? Thanks!    Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral, first off love the podcasts, they are a daily ritual for me. I am writing because I just finished the 21 day detox with sole purpose of trying to get rid of lifelong acne. I took prescriptions growing and 15 years ago before I was aware of how bad it was, I took Accutane which got rid of it temporarily but it now seems to be getting more aggressive as I get older. Unfortunately the detox didn't help. I have been eating a plant based diet for about 6 months now and am thinking this isn't diet related at all. I feel great, have lots of energy, sleep well, no stomach pains or bloating or weird cravings. I do have really heavy and long periods and surprisingly have no acne when I am pregnant or breast feeding. I have seen a natural Dr who ran a ton of blood work and said everything looks pretty good but noted my Estradoil and Estrone were a bit high and put me on some progesterone because she said it's a tad low, but i took myself off because I felt horrible on it. She also gave me several supplements but here I am 4 months later with acne. I'm not ready to give up yet, but don't know where to go next. I am not able to purchase every test so would love to know what you would suggest as my next step. Thanks so much for your time!   Amanda: Hello Dr Cabral, I look forward to the weekend house calls each and every week. The amount of information that I gain from these calls have helped me immensely in my private practice. I have a client who has come to me with ME/CFS. She has had a myriad of health issues since she was a child and has finally been "diagnosed" with ME/CFS. She is very aware of diet and nutrition (bachelors in nutrition), has tried many different alternative methods of healing and still can't seem to find answers. She has had copious amounts of antibiotics around 2014-2015 and right now we are working on rebuilding her gut flora, but her stomach is very sensitive so many things she struggles with including sauerkraut. Do you have any advice on this condition or ways you would advise me to help her progress back to health and vitality? Thank you so much for all the knowledge and healing wisdom you share.     Tony: Dr. Cabral, I've listened to a couple of your podcasts regarding Menieres "disease". I was diagnosed with this about 18 months ago which was about 6 months after my initial onset of tinnitus. The ringing and pressurized feeling started in my right ear in August of 2015. At the time I believed it was directly related to stress. I had just moved my family across 3 states, my wife was pregnant with very severe kidney complications, and I had left my old career behind to become a Police Officer. In February of 2016 I had my first experience with brain fog and severe dizziness. Since then I have had seasons where it increases and decreases in intensity. I was also diagnosed with a shift work sleep disorder. Long story short the dizziness and nausea became too intense to continue in my new career as a Police Officer. Menieres has drastically impacted my life and I'm hoping to find out what I can do differently to get my life and health back. A little more info about me that may be helpful...I lift weights about 5 days a week and have always taken care of my body. I generally eat a protein rich diet and especially have been consuming lots of cruciferous vegetables lately. I typically start my days with anti oxidant berry blend smoothies with a handful of spinach and a scoop of Muscle Farm's Combat Powder(tri-blend protein). I've started to limit processed foods but I still eat a lot of bread. I have noticed that my worst days often fall a day or two after a "cheat day" where I probably binged on chips or other similar processed foods. I've become very conscientious of sodium intake but I still experience random bouts of brain fog and dizziness. For a short while I was receiving vestibular therapy and dry needling around my right trapezius/upper back and shoulder area. I found that very relaxing and that it did suppress some symptoms. However, like I said, since then I have had to walk away from my job as a Police officer and no longer have he insurance coverage for V therapy or dry needling. I'm curious to know... I've had a very high protein diet for about 11 years, since I really got into weightlifting. Is there a possibility that I've just trashed my gut and it may be manifesting itself through the ringing and dizziness in my ear? What would be the test you recommend to look into this? Also, for years I have taken Benadryl (1 tablet) at night to help me fall asleep. Is there any way that this could also be causing an adverse reaction affecting my Menieres diagnosis? Thank you so much for what you do, your a blessing to many, and I'm looking forward to hearing back from you soon. -Tony     Alexandra: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions! I was just wondering if you'd have any idea why I'm overall a lean female but frequently feel as if my face is bloated. Others tell me they don't notice it but I know I have fluid retention there and it can be discouraging. Any tips? Thanks! Thank you for tuning into today's Q&A and hopefully you picked up a lot of tips along the way!  - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/604 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

603: Type 2 Diabetes, Wake Up at Night, Hormone Acne, Food Layering, Healthy Flying, HSV-2, Aging Brain (HouseCall)

It's that time again! Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCalls where we answer our community's questions each and every week! Here are today's Q&A topics: Irene: Hello, I have type 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed about 3 years ago. A few days ago I ordered your Protocal package and I'm looking forward to start using it. I will also be doing the three day fast that I recently heard on one of your podcasts. My diabetes numbers average about 325 each morning. I am on Metformin and Glipizide. The doctors have tried other meds that got my numbers in the 180 range, but they made me very sick. When I eat healthy, my numbers average about 250 in the mornings. Right now I exercise doing Zumba for one hour, twice a week. What can I do immediately that can lower my numbers? Thank you for taking the time to answer this question.   Sally: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for taking the time to answer these questions! My issue- I have no trouble falling asleep but wake up multiple times a night- sometimes every 1.5. I don't feel low energy but I just want to be able to sleep the full night! And what makes it worse, is I'll wake up, go to the fridge and grab something small (even nuts or chocolate) and go back to bed. Therefore, I know I can't be doing the 12 hour fast each night and letting my body regenerate. If there are any tips you have to staying asleep throughout the night (I tried CALM before bed, tart cherries, yoga, limiting water before bed and nothing has helped), I would truly appreciate it.     Megan: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a recent new listener and look forward to listening to your podcasts every day. Thank you for all that you do for this community. Your passion for medicine is incredibly inspiring and truly gives me hope I will feel well again. I am an intensive care RN and in graduate school to become a functional nurse practitioner. Similar to your story, I have pursued this career path partly because of my own health issues. I developed methane dominant SIBO 3 years ago during nursing school, a very stressful time, after years of birth control, minocycline for acne, and a recent bought of kidney stones. Other past medical history include chronic sinus infections as an undergraduate and an abnormal Pap smear. Since then I have taken 3 rounds of Xifaxin, worked with a nutritionist who advised me to eliminate FODMAPs, and followed a strict paleo diet for a year with moderate success. I am no where near as sick as I was but still suffer with occasional painful unpredictable gas, bloating and incomplete BM’s despite my seemingly perfect nutrition. I am currently working with a practitioner who ran labs that showed I was estrogen dominant with low T3, and vitamin D. My testosterone is also low. I am taking a probiotic, EPA/DHA, DHEA, a multi-vitamin, D3, and adaptogens for adrenal support. My practitioner doesn’t believe I have SIBO again but instead is treating my leaky gut with low-dose naltrexone. Since starting this therapy I feel better, but still not 100%. I have difficulty with word finding, low libido, staying asleep at night (side-effect of LDN?), I grind my teeth, and suffer each month with wild PMS and moderate anxiety. My practitioner believes the LDN will heal my gut but my question for you is can I be doing more to feel better faster? I started the Dr. Shulze’s intestinal cleanse hoping that will help also. I am 27 years old, getting married next year, and feel like a fraction of myself most days. I eat well, exercise and take care of myself. I am tired of feeling like everything I do, all the supplements I try, all the doctors I see, is useless. I want to get better and I am willing to do the work. What more can I do to finally feel well? Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to your next podcast. Megan   Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for always answering my questions. I tell EVERYONE I meet about your podcast! My daughter is almost 2 and since she started solids her breakfast has been mainly scrambled eggs, avocado and sometimes fruit. I had read to wait on giving them grains until they had their molars. I also just recently saw your oatmeal breakfast recipe and I'm curious what your thoughts are on grain and fruit food combining. Another very well known and versed holistic practitioner I've worked with said to never combine grains and fruit because they compete for digestion and result in fermentation. She also says "eat melon alone, or leave it alone." Thank you!    Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral, We're flying to the east coast from the west coast in a month and we have an almost 2 year old that has flown twice. This time she will have her own seat because we're bringing the car seat. Since flying with a little one, I use a spray hand sanitizer and wipe down the arm rests, belt buckle, tray table and window to try and keep her from getting the plethora of germs that are left behind. Is this excessive, or smart since these areas are never cleaned? I usually add liquid echinacea and elderberry by Herb Pharm before traveling in addition to her daily spoonful of probiotic and camu camu. Any other recommendations, or traveling protocols you follow? I know some people who put a touch of tea tree oil right in their nose as a precaution. I can only imagine how I'm going to handle potty training and public toilets when we cross that bridge - hahaha! In gratitude, Cara     Elle: Hello! I was diagnosed with HSV-2 a little over 2 years ago and I am currently eradicating the virus from my body. I am slightly changing my protocol after listening to your recommendations on fighting the virus. I would like to know, how do I prevent the spreading of the virus to my partner? I have not been sexually active in fear of spreading the virus through viral shedding. What recommendations do you have while eradicating the virus?    M: My mom is 85 and her body is strong and fit -- yet she has about 3 second recall and neurologist says dementia/Alzheimer's. she's been on namenda and arricept for 6 years. She also has glaucoma. She always lived a clean life with no alcohol and did yoga and took vitamins. Is there anything I can do now -- I give her a B 12 everyday? Should I have her tested for heavy metals? She lives in assisted living. Thanks for all you do!   Thank you for joining me today and I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow and answering more of our community's questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/603 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

600: The 2 Missing Minerals the Thyroid Needs to Thrive (WW)

Last week I shared the 4 toxins that are toxic to your thyroid and inhibit it from functioning well... Now I want to detail the 2 minerals that are missing from most people's diet that adversely affect their thyroid... Unfortunately, these 2 minerals can also be blocked by the toxins I spoke about last week... And, without these 2 minerals your body literally cannot make active thyroid hormone - Which means many of the thyroid drugs we're giving people are at best masking symptoms and at worst only contributing to the underlying problem...

599: Do Not Follow This Popular Upside Down Food Pyramid (TWT)

I almost made it to episode 600 without going on a full out rant about one of the most popular diet plans in the world right now! But, I just couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to expose the truth about eating a high fat/low carb diet in the long-term... Remember, just because something has merit in one area of science or weight loss, does not make it a viable long-term solution... The body has to eventually adapt and when it does it can negatively affect stress hormones, digestion, immunity, and the microbiome... Today, I'll briefly explain the downsides of imbalanced eating and also provide the differences with the 4 main food pyramids... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 599 for all the details on why following an "upside down" food pyramid may just make you worse off in the long-run - enjoy the show! - - -  Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/599 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

598: Use Sharma's 90/90/1 Success Principle (MM)

Once I realized that accumulating knowledge wasn't enough to actually move forward and accomplish my goals, I began to look for ways to take action... I studied the best. I tried to model their actions, tips and behaviors... And, one of those strategies I can attest to that works exceptionally well is called the "90/90/1 Principle." Although it's been stated in many different ways over the years, I like how Robin Sharma broke it down and crystalized it...

597: Eczema, Estrogen Dominance Supplements, Sensitive System, Migratory Pain, Cycle Cravings, Iridology (HouseCall)

Thank you for tuning back into our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm excited to share this week's community Q&A with you. Here are today's amazing questions: Rose: I have a niece and a great niece that suffers from eczema very bad. They have looked to traditional medicine and natural path medicine to try and find a answer. They have went through the usual limitation diets, cleanses, And out of desperation have even used traditional drugs. At times they both have had some improvement but it always flairs up. My niece is a positive individual and will try almost anything but I noticed in the more recent month she seems a bit depressed about it and I think it is mostly because of her 5 year old daughter suffering so bad with it. Any suggestions. I would pay for the testing for them. Listen to your podcasts regularly. Thanks!   Lindsay: Hi, After a recent blood test it showed I had estrogen Dominace (due to excessive amounts of estrogens being produced, compounded by inadequate progesterone production) inadequate methylation of these estrogens, high adrogen production - with reduced DHEA and optimal cortisol rhythm, adequate cortisone and melatonin. I decided to start on DHEA, ID3 and progesterone cream but seem to have side effects; moody, tires, low libido, spots on neck, etc. So after 2 months I want to stop. Is there anything I can do to help the progesterone get back to normal rhythm? Without the hormones? I have had 2 children and spent many years before them on birth control. I don't use it now and the main reason for the hormone testing was I have low libido. Healthy, exercise daily, eat well etc. Thanks Dr Cabral for your insight- I share your podcast with everyone (even my boss at work yesterday)    Cynthia: Hi Stephen, So blessed to listen to your podcasts daily, its the first thing i do when i wake up. I am 50 years old, have had low energy most of my life, never feel great, often bloated and can have brain fog often. However, other than some sugar, i have a fairly healthy diet, work out at the gym twice a week and maybe fit in yoga once a week. Ten years ago i started suffering from IC, and general inflammation (eight months ago my left SI joint twisted and currently have bursitis in left hip.) i am an ectomorph with thinning hair and nails. Recently had a food sensitivity test and found out i"m sensitive to dairy, nuts and some seafood. Also suffer immensely from allergies to pet dander, pollen and dust mites. I was taking twice weekly shots for that and currently taking allergy serum orally. Also, peri menopausal (still mensturate) and have been put on a low dose of PrometrIum. I travel many weeks out of the year and have suffered from travellers diarrhea of varying degrees. I'm very sensitive by nature, have social anxiety and prone to sadness from time to time. Have recently started using your daily support powder, and CBD oil when necessary. Thank you, thank you for everything you do, truly so grateful. Heading over now to leave a review. Most Sincerely, Cyn    Jamie: Hi Dr Cabral, Loving your podcast.. It's my daily dose of healing inspiration. I have had migratory chronic pain for nearly 2 years. Started in Right shoulder, then moved to back, hamstrings and now focused in left hip. I have had every test under the sun (Inc OAT etc). No ANA, parasites, or 'western' diagnosed condition. Have tried different diets, low oxalate, low histamine, vegan.. low luck. I still eat a plant based diet as I feel this gives me more energy. I have high mercury and am currently chelating with DMPS. I have had 3 rounds and so far no improvement but no detox symptoms either which is good. I am using quicksilver binder. I can still surf (which keeps me sane) but being in pain all day everyday takes it toll. I meditate, use sauna, manage stress as best as able. Do you think mercury will be the answer? Do I just need to trust the process and give it more time? Integrative dr said 6 sessions and we will re-test. Was hoping to see improvement already.. but might take longer? Appreciate any advice..   Simone: About a week before my menstrual cycle starts, my appetite becomes absolutely insatiable. I crave all the bad carbs (pastries, fries, etc.) and can just never get enough. Is there anything that I can do to curb these cravings? I know that consuming so much junk food (even if I've been eating healthy for the rest of the month) isn't good for me.     Rebekah: Hello!! I'd like to know your thoughts about iridology. Is it true? Does it work? Many raw vegans claim that their eyes have changed colors after starting raw veganism. I always look at things with a healthy skepticism and I'd like to know if there is any science behind this. Thank you for all you do and I REALLY looking forward to your up coming book! I forgot to add this question to my last one about iridology. I had an endoscopy and showed I had gastritis and biopsies showed no h. pylori or other pathogens, only a small hiatal hernia. You always talk about peeling back the layers and asking why. Where would I go to find the answer to the question: why do I have gastritis? I did your 7 day detox and for the first time in almost a year I was reminded what it felt like to eat and not have ANY negative residual GI issues. This was an amazing experience for me and I plan on doing another 7 day detox. I am 27yo and never done a formal detox till yours. Could it be my toxic load is heavy? What else have you seen been the root cause of gastritis beside h.pylori. Thanks a million Thank you for tuning into this week's Q&As and all the tips added in along the way! - - -  Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/597 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

596: Vata Foods, EMFs & Saunas, Meat Eaters, Canned Food, Check-Ups, Tender Nipples (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our 1st Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! Here are our community questions for today: Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! Long time listener, first time caller! ;) My question is about raw foods & being a classic vata. I am a whole-foods vegan with very occasional dairy here & there. I am a classic vata... very small boned, always cold (I wear pants all summer in Phoenix), high anxiety, and frequent trouble digesting heavy or complicated foods/bloating/gas/lower abdominal pain/abdominal bloating to the point where I look a little pregnant by the end of the day even though my upper waist/stomach area stays very small. I am 36 years old, 2 kids, a normal weight (110 lbs/ 5'2") and have been stable at that weight for 15 years, other than a foray into paleo/high fat/keto, which was awful and made me instantly gain 5-10 pounds and feel like crap, but I lost the weight immediately when I went back to vegetarian/vegan. Whenever I go through a phase in my diet where I want to commit to taking my diet to the next level... staying completely gluten free, dairy free or even grain free, going raw or at least high raw, cutting out fats, juicing until dinner, eating pounds of cruciferous veggies to stave off basically everything bad in the world... my lower abdomen gets so swollen and bloated that I look pregnant. I end up with extremely low energy, gross burping that is the worst with raw lettuce, sharp gas pain that sometimes requires me to lay on my stomach and basically sleep it off, food cravings, and anxiety... even mild depression that actually goes away immediately when I eat something less "perfect" like a bowl of veggie soup in a sourdough bread bowl. I tell myself these are "cleansing" symptoms and I need to stick it out, but end up back at a more regular vegan diet after a while just to get my energy back & stop the bloating... still whole foods based, no weird fake meat, but more grains & cooked foods, soups, baked sweet potatoes, roasted veggies with olive oil, sourdough bread, etc. I find it sort of hard to believe I could still be having cleansing symptoms, as I did my first 5-day water fast in 2005 and have been cleansing ever since! Juice cleanses, colon cleanses, candida cleanses, parasite cleanses, colonics, enemas, liver flushes, you name it I've done it! When I'm not cleansing I'm always food combining & trying to drink as many green smoothies as possible (although they make me so cold it takes me a good hour to stop shivering.) I've been reading up on Ayurveda, and wondering now if perhaps a high-raw diet is just never going to work for a super-vata like me? Maybe I am supposed to be eating grains and soups and not this idealized perfect raw foods diet that's in my head? It looks like the vata pacifying diet is identical to my natural baseline diet, which coincidentally is the diet that makes me the least bloated. But I always feel like I should be eating more huge kale salads, raw veggies all the time, smoothies, fasts, etc because of all the living nutrients & enzymes & all of the things I read about. I also feel almost guilty when I eat wheat, because wheat is supposed to be the worst thing ever, even though it actually makes me 1000x less bloated than raw veggies. So basically: can I still be healthy & live to be 100 to play with my great-great grandkids on a vata-pacifying diet full of warm, cooked whole foods & grains instead of what I have pictured as the ideal health superfoods diet full of literally pounds & pounds of raw cruciferous veggies and smoothies? I feel like I need to hear reassurance from an expert on this. Any other tips on vata pacifying foods/lifestyle would be so appreciated! Thanks so much!!     Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have a quick question about saunas. I have heard that infrared sauna's are the best, but my gym only has a regular dry heat sauna. I've also heard that EMF's can be a concern. If I have to make a choice between the gym sauna which could have high EMF, or no sauna at all, which is the best choice? Thank you for all that you do! Your podcast is a daily staple in our house. The only bad thing about it is that our two parakeets freak out when they hear your voice and chirp loudly to drown you out. I guess they don't want to hear your healthy tips, hah!    Jill: Hello! Thank you for everything you do! I love your podcast! I have been on my health journey for the past year or so and I have a question regarding diet. What is your opinion on meat/fish consumption? I currently do eat meat/fish and it is all organic/pasture raised/wild-caught/etc. There has been so much debate on this topic and I'm honestly not sure what to believe any more. I would love if you could give me some guidance. Do you believe it is healthy? Does it depend on body type/genetics/etc.? Thank you so much!!    Adrienne: Hi! I have heard that canned food is dead food. Do you agree? What about home canning? Thanks so much, love listening to your podcasts each day on my way to work!   Laura: I just discovered your podcast and I love it! It's hard to find health podcasts where there isn't some strong lean towards a very specific lifestyle. I find your information to be very useful and presented in a way that everyone can understand. My question is - I am a 44 year old female and I've had a higher heart rate for years now. However, it seems to be worse the past few months. It jumps up to 120 sometimes just upon standing and almost always runs close to 100 even when sitting doing nothing. I do have a history of autoimmune/connective tissue disease but I don't require medication at this time. I have had a tremendous amount of stress the last few years as I gave birth to my first and only child at age 41. Then my husband was diagnosed with AML (Leukemia) and had to have a stem cell transplant, my mother passed away and another grandmother had a stroke. I don't doubt I have adrenal fatigue although I haven't taken an official test yet. I'm at a loss as to what is causing the high heart rate. As of now, the stress in my life has lessened a great deal compared to the peak. I've had a history of low potassium as well. Where should I start in figuring this out? I went for a checkup with my MD and I'm not diabetic and thyroid panel was fine. However, I was slightly anemic and borderline low Vit D. Thank you for all you do!   Tom: Dr Cabral l do a lot of working out and have had some personal problems in the last year ! A lot of stress! My nipples have become tender which l believe is because of elevated estrogen levels. Do you agree? Is there any supplements you recommend? DIM? Could it also be low T or elevated cortisol levels? Great podcast ltd like going to college! Thank you so much Doc!   Thank you for tuning into today's #CabralConcept HouseCall and be sure to come back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/596 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

595: The Problem with Poor Posture (FR)

Poor posture has far more to do than with just aesthetics or how you present yourself to the world... The rounding of your shoulders, curving of your lower back, swaying of your hips, locking out of your knees, as well as other postural deviations can set you up for a host of health issues... Pain, headaches, tension, and numbness are just a few of those symptoms associated with poor posture... Today on the #CabralConcept 595 I'll detail all the symptoms of poor posture, what proper posture is, and how you can go about correcting these issues - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/595 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

594: This Exercise Increases Longevity (TT)

Although I love all forms of exercise, some specific modalities do work better than others when it comes to increasing lifespan... One way that I'm measuring aging in my Functional Medicine practice is through Telomere testing, which essentially tells you how quickly your body is breaking down... Although some people get nervous about finding out their true "biological age," I believe it's a great thing to know... Since knowing your biological age (not chronological) allows you a baseline as to how your current lifestyle is working for you... And, if you happen to want to decrease your rate of aging, there are many factors to do so - with one of those being a specific form of exercise... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 594 to find out the one form of exercise that has been show to increase longevity - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/594 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

593: The 4 Toxins that Slow Your Thyroid & Metabolism (WW)

When it comes to healing your thyroid one of the issues that's often overlooked is toxicity... This also goes well beyond leaky gut/intestinal permeability and has more to do with certain heavy metals that disrupt this delicate gland... And if these specific heavy metals are high, they'll actually block your thyroid's ability to make activated thyroid hormone (T3)...

There are times when your health or weight loss issues can be quite complicated... But more times than not, I've found that there can be just a couple of systems out of balance, which are holding you back from your goals... For example, all of the different health issues on today's show all seem unrelated, but believe it or not, they could all be a symptom of one missing mineral...

590: Chemotherapy Adjunct, White Tongue Coating, Incomplete Results, Muscle Loss, Candida Sexual Transmission (HouseCall)

Welcome back to this weekend's 2nd Cabral HouseCall! I'm so happy to have you back and we have more amazing community questions to answer, so let's get started! Paula: Hi doc. Very pleased with the info and insights discussed on your podcast. My question is in regards to chemotherapy. My father (61 yo) was diagnosed with a bladder tumor which was surgically removed 2 months ago. A week ago (without having fully recovered from the surgery and still using a catheter to urinate), he started a 6-cycle-long chemo protocol: Each cycle lasting 3 weeks with Gemcitabine 3x/cycle and Cisplatin 1x/cycle. Upon the first application of Cisplatin, the side effects were severe, ranging from headaches, to lack of appetite, weight loss, joint and back pain and constant nausea and brain fog. Needless to say, he dreads continuing treatment and has been following a low-carb diet when he does eat. We would like for him to go full-on ketogenic (based of Dr. Seifried's work) and compliment with other therapies. However, an alternative doc has advised us against STOPPING CHEMO and suggested we finish the 4-month-long treatment and then opt for other alternatives. We want to hear your take on this. Should he continue chemo given all those side effects? Or should we go the full-on functional route? Thanks a lot (I know this is a question with a long background info)   Jenett: Hi Dr. Cabral My question is regarding my four year old daughter. Her tongue has a white coating but I can see the red tastebuds through it like dots all over. She also has off and on itching in her vaginal area. I thought it was from her not wiping the area very well after peeing. I'm wondering if this is candida? If so, how do I treat it? Thank you for all you do! Jenett   Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've been listening to your podcast for about a year now and have learned so much in multiple areas thanks to your breadth of knowledge and desire to continue learning and educating others. As a Registered Dietitian, I'm also constantly trying to stay up on research but appreciate the more functional approach to medicine and have also gotten a health coaching certification so I can approach wellness a bit differently with some of my clients. However, my question today is in regards to myself. I'm a 29 year old relatively fit, recovering type-A female and over the past 2 years or so, have gone through quite a number of changes in my life - relationships, moving (states, towns, houses, etc), job changes, unemployment - and am finally in a bit of a more stable place, relatively speaking (relationship, home). I've never considered myself a highly anxious person but do now experience periods where it almost feels like a "butterflies in my stomach" sensation when my nerves are heightened or I'm anxious due to unknown circumstances/outcome. After learning more about normal bowel habits and healthy elimination, I realized that what I used to consider "normal" for myself was actually bordering on constipation and has since gotten worse this past year with so many life changes. Being a health professional who is highly interested in gut health, I'm seeing a possible connection between my changes in GI health and how these two might be correlated. Which leaves me wondering which angle to take in treating/resolving my issues. I've tried a range of approaches from probiotics and home-brewed kombucha to magnesium and now your digestive enzymes. I used to do smoothies almost daily but found that they didn't provide any sort of consistent relief or regularity for my situation. I know for some, they actually aren't the best solution when looking at digestive issues so I've currently made a switch away from them. Otherwise, I maintain a fairly healthy diet (with the occasional treats) which is mostly whole foods, plenty of fiber and at least 75 oz of water daily in addition to regular activity. I've tried a few unique approaches for a short time, never stuck with anything long term - very low carb for and also FODMAP (for a handful of days each), a detox/cleanse supplement regimen by NOW (coupled with flax, lemon, homemade green juice and mostly plant-based eating in addition to a less crazy schedule, I did see some regularity for a few days...a big change for me). But I don't want to mask symptoms that something is out of balance by taking supplements which make it seem as though things are functionally more optimally than they really are. Also, I should mention I've noticed heightened symptoms with my monthly cycle, specifically more breakouts, which I attribute to the hormone imbalance resulting from poor elimination. At this point, I'd say information overload or possibly analysis paralysis is what I'm suffering from and would love the opinion of an expert to narrow down my consideration for how to begin healing myself from this symptom. I'm ordering your HTMA test tonight as a good baseline to evaluate my current wellness and plan to use these results with other information in your reply. I greatly appreciate your time and experience in responding. Thanks SO MUCH for doing what you do. I'll continue to listen to each episode and share your wisdom with others it may help!! :)   Sheila: Hi Love your podcast, learn something every day. I am an active 62 year old but have noticed muscle loss especially in arms, help what can Indo to build up my muscles and stave off further decline?   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for everything you're doing to help improve the life of others including myself. I have a few questions that i'm hoping you can help me with. first off, can candida transmitted through sexual intercourse or oral sex? I've had white sticky vaginal discharge and a thick white coating on my tongue(especially in the AM) for years. I have no idea what it is or how to get rid of it. I took your candida cleanse and am now taking the daily probiotics but it has not gone away. Can you give me some guidance on how to deal with this issue?   I hope hope you enjoyed this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls Q&A and all the tips we add in along the way! - - -  Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/590 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

589: Numbness, Rapid Weight Gain, Pregnancy Hormones, Detox Faster, Post Nasal Drip, High Bilirubin (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining me this weekend on the Cabral HouseCalls! I'm happy to have you and can't wait to share our community's questions with you now: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral I am experiencing Brain Fog, joint pain in my knees, some numbness in my arms when I am sleeping, lower back pain, bloating, fatigue to a point of unmotivated to do anything, especially after eating, and some constipation. I do sit at work a lot but I walk on my lunch hour and I try to do workout videos with weights during the week as well. What could all of this be a sign of and what can I do about it? Thank you, Jen   Lizbeth: Hi Dr. Cabral, Around march, I gained about 12 lbs out of nowhere. I went from 120 lbs to 132. and it seemed as if it had happened literally overnight. I am only 5'2" so that is a huge change in my body. I have always kept a clean diet, with maybe a couple cheat days. And I have always been extremely active, working out 5 to 6 days a week. So I sense something was wrong. At first I didn't notice the gain right away. I thought I was bloated (as usual). I have always been sort of constipated and suffered from bloating, so I thought it was one of my episodes. When I was 16, I was overmedicated, and it wiped out my intestinal flora. So I got used to some discomfort. Also I had thought that all of this weight gained was due to the high stress I have had during the months before March since I had just gone through one of the most stressful times in my life (moved to the US, got married and then my husband got deployed a few weeks after the wedding). However, my stomach was killing me. This time around the pain was 10x the usual. I am very glad that somehow I found you, after listening to your podcasts, I decided to do your detox only for a week. I figured the stress had filled my body with toxins and a detox would be extremely helpful. I lost about 4 lbs, But then I noticed that I was very bloated and gassy especially in the mornings. In your FAQ you explained that this means that my digestive system is very weak so I started taking the enzyme to help my stomach. And then, I heard your podcast on h pylori and I had all the symptoms. I also listened to your podcast on how to seal a leaky gut, and I was wondering if this could be the reason on my change of weight. What steps do I follow? Once I start the healthy gut, is the intestinal cleanse the second part? And would I need the candida protocol? Thanks again for all the information you provide! You have no cue how much knowledge and helped I have gotten from your podcasts! Thank you doesn't seem enough.   Leah: Hello. I believe I am in moderate adrenal fatigue and possibly low thyroid as well. I was about to get all of my blood work and tests done when I found out I am pregnant. The ND I was working with said come back after baby is born. Is there really no way to get answers before then? Should I just eat and act as if I am these things to be safe? I've read about links between low thyroid and issues with baby like Downs Syndrome, and I am worried about crashing really bad after baby is born. I really don't want postpartum depression or even lower thyroid from all the stress. How do I go about this?   Gina: Hi! Thank you for you informative and refreshing podcasts! Took me a while to find podcasts actually worth listening to. So I quit smoking about a month ago and am finding so little information about the withdrawal period! It's really frustrating understanding what's going on with my body. For the most part I feel good but I'm very lethargic, have a sore throat and chronic headaches. Is there anyway to speed up the recovery period!? I REFUSE to relapse and go back to that awful habit so anything helps! Thank you so much!     Cristie: Dr. Cabral, Thank you once again for all that you do. I was wondering if you've done a podcast on post nasal drip, if so if you could direct me to those episodes that'd be great. If not, I have post nasal drip ALL of the time, it's awful. I take Claritin with sudafed to stop it, it only helps a little, but I'd really like to know the best treatment for it because I'd really like it to stop. Thank you again for being so amazing and helping the way you do!!   Anonymous: Dear Dr Cabral, Thank you for sharing so much knowledge, I love listening to your podcasts every day on my way to work. My question is about high bilirubin levels. For the past 10 or so years, every time I do my annual blood tests, my bilirubin levels are elevated. I believe it's called Gilbert's Syndrome. It's not high enough to cause concern according to my doctors, but I'm wondering what is the underlying issue that is causing my body to always have slightly higher levels or bilirubin? I don't have my latest numbers for you, but previous tests showed: 2014 - total bilirubin: 28.8 (normal =   Thank you again for tuning in and be sure to check back tomorrow with more questions from the community! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/589 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

What if there was a vitamin that could not only decrease your stress, and increase your energy, but also boost your mood? What if I also told you that this vitamin also protected your cardiovascular system, nervous system, liver, and even helped to prevent dimentia... Would you be interested?

It's telling you something is wrong at a deeper level and that something must be rebalanced before something else goes really wrong...

584: The 3 Simple Questions to Discovering Your Gift in Life (MM)

I find it interesting that at times a lot of what my consultations turn into is helping people on the psychological side of healing... Originally, I thought my private practice would be more of a straight forward interpretation of Functional Medicine lab testing and Personalized Wellness Plan designs... But what I've realized is that in order to help someone truly heal, you must treat the individual and not the dis-ease... Often times, this means teaching people how to lower stress, overcome adversity, and rise above life's numerous challenges...

583: SAID Principle, Natural Gatorade, Healthy Belly, Acidity, High Eosinophils, Weight Loss Plateau (HouseCall)

I'm excited to bring you part 2 of our weekend Cabral #HouseCalls where I answer our community questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging! Here are today's questions: Kevin: Dr Cabral, So I have been following your work for about 5 years when I bought and implemented the teachings in "A Man's Guide to Muscle and Strength". I was looking for a program to follow, and this fit the bill perfectly. I've used the structure of the programs in the book ever since. I rotate these programs every 4-6 weeks, and try to increase the weight throughout the program before cycling off onto a new 4-6 week program. My question is around the SAID principle. There are many exercises that I've plateaued. For example, take a bench press or a seated row. Each of these are part of a 4-6 program so I may do these 6 times a year. And when I first started working out with your book as my guide, I was able to increase the weight as I went along. But with both, I've can't move past the weight that I'm currently at. And like you book lays out, when I cycle off the current program, the next program usually has another, yet different, version of each of these exercises. Logic tells me that I'm going to plateau with any exercise. It's not like I'd be able to keep adding weight, year in and year out, to each of these. What do you do when this happens? Thanks for being our guiding light in health, wellness and fitness...you've helped transform mine and my wife's life.  Pana: Hi dr Cabral! I love your podcasts and I listen every day since I found you! My 15 year old son came back from camp and all he wants to drink is powder aid because he was told that is good for him. In our house we do not have any soft drinks or ever juice. He just drinks water. Please let me what your thoughts are on powder drink and what Would be agood alternative to power drinks specially when he is very active? Thank you so much for all that you give us! Rebekah: Hello! I bought your healthy belly because I was sure I had h.pylori. I just got an endoscopy that confirmed I'm negative for the bacteria. How long is the shelf life for this and are there any alternative uses for it that I could benefit from? I hate to waste this unopened bottle. Thanks for all you do. I listen to every podcast without fail! Rena: Hi Dr. Cabral, So grateful for your podcast! I am in my 60's and have gout, and a bone spur in my foot. Could you possibly recommend any cures for this? I've heard you talk about CBD Oil and I wonder if this is something that I might try that would help? Also, I've been studying the blood type diet as someone recommended it to help with understanding my personal susceptibility to dis-eases (Hypothyroidism, Gout, osteoporosis) Is there any truth to the antigens on your blood, lectins on foods and how it affects the way your specific blood breaks down food? I am O+ and I definitely have the dis-eases that it lists that I am prone to for my blood type so I'm curious to try this type of diet but I wanted a professional opinion as there are so many fads out there and I am looking more for a lifestyle change rather than a temporary fix. I highly respect what you are doing for the world. Keep up the great work! Rena  Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am so appreciative for your house calls, thank you and I always leave a stellar rating on iTunes review! You answered my question last weekend on having high Eosinophils. The high eosinophils came back on my annual CBC in July. This is the first time they've ever been high. I just had my food sensitivities / environmental allergy test ran through my PC. I have zero environmental allergies. My food sensitivities test was ran through Genova Diagnostics. They only food that was in the red, "very high" were grapes, which I rarely have. Maybe this is why I get a headache after one glass of wine. I have a couple of foods in the yellow, "very low" which include cabbage, garlic, green pepper, white potato, sunflower seed. I have quite a few foods in the green "very low" which sadly includes broccoli, egg yolk, mushrooms and more. Do I need to cut out all foods that showed up on this test, or only grapes which ranked "very high"? If so, how long do I eliminate them for? Could having the foods that are "very low" as well as "low" be the cause for my Eosinophils being 18.5? I just had my blood redrawn yesterday to confirm the lab did not make a mistake. Next will be a parasite test, which I'll likely have ran through my PC to try and cut the cost. Although, once I have some preliminary answers, I will schedule a consult directly with you (even though you're a few weeks out). I also read that high Eosinophils can indicate cancer, so I'm a little concerned. I eat super healthy, paleo-ish and I consume two servings of greens a day. They only thing I indulge and sometimes over indulge in is dark chocolate. Thank you for all that you do! In gratitude, Cara ADDITION to my previous email on high Eosinophils... My lab came back today and my Eosinophils dropped from 18.5 to 6.0. I called my doctor and he didn't seem concerned. I told him I was still concerned because I know that is still on the high end of the spectrum. He said I could do a stool test or re-test my blood in 3-4 weeks. He said I could either have a parasite, or I could have been exposed to something in my environment to cause the spike. When I asked his protocol if it is a parasite, he said sometimes antibiotics for stubborn bugs or supplements. What are your thoughts? In gratitude, Cara Ada: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've really enjoyed all the education and information from each of your podcasts and I get something out of every episode. Thank you for that! My question today is really where to start. I am in my early 40's and I have been struggling with trying to figure out why my weight has plateaued. I'm doing weight training three times a week and walks/hikes three-four times a week. I am medium athletic build but I feel I need to tone up a lot. I eat salads, fruits, veggies, some meats three-five days a week. I just feel like nothing works. I also feel extremely tired all the time. As soon as I hot the bed I am dead asleep. I don't know if what I need is a candida cleanse, a heavy metal detox, food sensitivity or your weight loss testing. I cant afford to do them all right now but I would love to know what my particular body needs as I know we are all different. Could you possibly recommend what test that would give me the most information on what my specific body needs in order to regain energy and lose weight? Thank you so much!

582: Rheumatica, Tubes in Ears, EMFs in Bedroom, Turpentine, Sporadic Cycles, Inflamed Elbow (HouseCall)

It's already the weekend and that means it's time for our HouseCall shows! Here are this weekend's community questions! Erin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I can't thank you and Julia enough for the positive influence you are having on our family and our health. Your health coach Julia has been amazing in guiding us, answering our questions and encouraging us on our path to health. My husband and I are both on our healing journeys and it is all thanks to you and your team! We listen to your podcast every day and talk about you and your teachings to all our friends and family. My question for you today is concerning my mother. She is 73 years old and has suffered with Polymyalgia Rheumatica for many years. She has been taking prednisone and the side affects are debilitating, always hungry, weight gain, hair loss to name a few. She was looking into biologics based on the recommendation of my sister-in-law, but then discovered they are only available for those suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis. Today her doctor gave her a prescription for Celebrex. We would love for her to work with you and ultimately be prescription free and pain free. I think she has digestive and possibly hormone balance issues too. What would you suggest to be the best place for her to start? Thank you again for all you do. You are making an amazing difference in the world by sharing your knowledge, passion and compassion with others! Take care, Erin  Monique: Hi Dr. Cabral! Monique here again, Im sure youve answered this question before or something similar but I just wanted to get a more direct answer! My nephew (boyfriends nephew) is a little over a year and a half and is having symptoms of a problem that runs in the family, with only the men. For the past maybe 5-6 months he has had a constant runny nose and now the doctors are saying he has fluid build up behind his ears. My boyfriend and almost every man in the family has had tubes put in their ears for this same problem when they were very little. For a while when he first started eating harder foods he started having very disgusting poops and getting sick often. I believe he has taking a few different kinds of medication but im not sure exactly what. I truly believe from all that I have learned from you that it is all related and he has some type of sensitivity. His mother doesnt think so, she is a nurse, and believes he might just have to get the tubes too. I want so badly to help but dont want to step on toes over the truth. I know they will do whats best but im also not sure how to go about explaining this to her. He is an awesome kid and has great parents and family but they just dont understand the natural health side and the true issue and solution that will last forever instead of the alternative(conventional medicine). Love them want to help them as much as I can, what do you suggest for me to do in my position and what do you believe is happening with him. Thank you so much for all you do truly. Monique Taylor: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have been trying to figure out why I get weird dizzy spells in my bed room. My husband pointed out last night that we sleep within 5 feet of the circuit breaker in our apartment. Unfortunately, there is no where else to put our bed because of the size of our apartment. Do you have any recommendations on how to block the EMFs from the circuit breaker? I'm also aware that apartment at are like hot spots since there is so much WIFI surrounded you. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! As always, grateful for your help!   Elizabeth:  Hi Dr. Cabral I was reading about pure gum turpentine and how it's been used medicinally since ancient times and was used in ancient Babylon to treat stomach problems, inflammations, joint pain, ulcers etc. I trust your view so wondered your opinion on this remedy. There was an interesting article on this and Lingzhi mushrooms by Dr Mark Sircus. Thank you for all that you are and do... look forward to future podcasts :) Dee: Hi Dr Cabral. I appreciate your podcast very much. It's the only podcast I listen to! I had a question about menstrual cramps. I am 46 yrs old and have sporadic cycles. (3 weeks late, 1 week early etc) The first two days of my period are pretty unbearable and I'm in excruciating pain. I had high hopes that the CBD oil would help with the pain, but I've tried it for the past 3 cycles and I don't see a noticeable difference. I'm even taking it every 2 hours and I'm not having any relief. Can you recommend anything natural to take for that kind of pain? Years ago I took Advil and that did help, but I'm not using chemicals anymore and am struggling to find something natural that helps. Thank you  Lauren: Hi, Thank you in advance for everything. I am addicted to your podcasts. You are great! My dad has severe tennis elbow (bursitis) that he left untreated for a while. He received cortisone shots and some PT etc and nothing permanently helps. He had an MRI and it is torn. He is a chef and can't take off so resting really isn't an option at this time as he is always using elbow/wrist. The pain is severe and I was wondering if there is anything more natural that he can be doing. Can this inflammation be linked to other issues / problems? Should he be following any specific diets? Thank you!  I hope you enjoyed the show and be sure to check out part 2 tomorrow! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/582 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Too many people use "genetics" as an excuse for why they have some dis-ease or imbalance... They simply haven't been taught that genetics just means you're predisposed to something - It's does NOT mean you have to suffer from some ailment... Next up, we'll be discussing what seems to be an epidemic amongst fibromyalgia patients (93% were low in this nutrient)... Plus, on today's show I talk about an easy way to get extra folate while pregnant without having to switch over to a "Prenatal vitamin..." And last, but certainly not least, I attempt to smash the stigma around using CBD Oil with children that could benefit from a lower dose protocol... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 581 for all the details - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/581 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

580: Why Running & Cardio Don’t Equal Leg Training (TT)

One of the greatest myths in health & fitness is that by doing cardio you are actually training your legs... Running, biking, elliptical, and other modes of cardio work can have their own benefit, but they are not the same as squats, deadlifts, lunges, and step-ups... This means that by skipping your leg training and opting for cardio only, you are greatly missing out on dozens of benefits...

578: 10 Early Warning Signs of Cancer Not to Ignore (TWT)

The last thing I want you to do is worry that you're going to get cancer... Worry, fear, and helplessness, are certainly all helping hands in causing dis-ease and cancer, so let's push those aside during this conversation... What I do want to do right now is share with you some important information that could possibly save your or a loved one's life... When cancer is caught early enough, natural treatment protocols (and conventional measures) can intervene and return your body back to balance...

577: Why You May Not Be Making Progress (MM)

In our 24/7/365 hustle society we may have lost sight of the fact that being busy does not mean you're accomplishing anything... To me, one of the worst things I believe you could do is to "work hard" and not get any results to show for it... This is what truly leads to frustration and eventually to giving up on your goals... But it doesn't have to be that way, and on today's #CabralConcept 577 I want to share with you why you may not be making (as much) progress as you'd like - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/577 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

576: BodyType Issues, IBS, Cystic Acne, Alopecia Link, Pycnogenol, POTS Link (HouseCall)

Welcome back to day 2 of our weekend Cabral HouseCalls! I'm really looking forward to doing my best to answer your questions today that have been coming in over the past few weeks, so let's get started! Adalyn: Hi Dr Cabral, I am so grateful for your podcast and have to admit I'm completely addicted. I love all the knowledge and especially the science behind it. I am a pitta body type and I'm lectin sensitive. I have plateaued in my weight loss. I have bloating, acne around my nose and chin, I'm extremely fatigued, brain fog, and I think I deal with some poor circulation and inflammation as my limbs go numb easily and my knees ache a lot. I hike 3-5 days a week and do weight training 2-3 days a week. I've had some Mercury fillings removed in the last year. I wondered if you had any ideas what might be going on and what I can do to heal my body? Thank you so much!! Cynthia: hi Stephen, You're a true blessing, thank you for all you do. My almost fifteen year old (125 lb) has had IB for 5 years, often worse in the mornings. He has had a food sensitivity test through our naturopath dr.and tested very high for dairy and mid range for wheat. Seven years ago he contracted e.coli while vacationing in Mexico and was put on a probiotic that only helped temporarily. Most mornings he has cramping and diaerrea usually after eating breakfast but lately after eating most meals. He also tiny white raised bumps on his cheeks and upper arms, he is an ectomorph body type. His life is very affected by the IB to the point where is is nervous to venture too far from home. i have listened to your healthy gut podcasts and was wondering if thats the exact route i should go with a teenager. With many thanks, Cynthia Mariellen: hi dr Cabral!!!! I have been struggling with cystic acne and have had no luck getting rid of it. I am on DIM and adrenal response through you guys and it hasn't seemed to calm down at all. Through my own research, I have looked into insulin levels being too high and maybe that being the cause of it? I've never had tests done but I do have a lot of potatoes in my diet, frequent urination (like I literally urinate probably 20+ a day), always hungry. I have read that insulin is frequently linked to what people just write off as hormonal acne. I am unfortunately still on hormonal birth control and am going to stay on it until after my wedding because last time I tried to get off of it my skin went even crazier and I was breaking out all over my back! I suffer from sinus inflammation as well. Not sure what information will help. How would I figure out if this is the root of my issue? And what natural ways can I go about this? To add to my last question I can't remember if I wrote I haven't had an actual period in two months now. I get the big massive headache right before I would "get it" and all the symptoms just no actual menstration  Sam: suffer from alopecia and noticed it triggered deep after taking antibiotics. Is alopecia reversible via diet? Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, I wondered your thoughts on Pycnogenol, aka pine bark extract. I was looking into it to potentially assist with melasma, eye sight and tinnitus. I also read it can help with jet lag. Although I was little concerned to read that it may cause stomach issues? I presume it's relatively safe to use, just maybe not long term? Thanks so much for your awesome podcasts!! Tina: Hi Steve. First I want to say thank you for your passion in the world of natural healing. I recently discovered you and have been bing listening to all your podcast. My question is about my 16 year old daughter. She has been having what I believe to be ovarian cyst pain monthly. I don't believe in giving my family advil but the past couple of months she was in tears and I broke down and gave it to her. Can you recommend something else to help her with this pain? And is there something we can do to keep her from having these? (balancing hormones?) Also want to mention that she was diagnosed with POTS 4 years ago. It's pretty mild and doesn't sideline her too much. I've long suspected it might be related to gut issues. Would love your thoughts! Thanks again!! Tina   Thank you for tuning into this week's Cabral HouseCall's and I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow on our Mindset & Motivation Monday! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

575: CBD & Seizures, Collagen Powder, Effusion, Weight on Hips, Cellulite/Toxicity, Gain Weight (HouseCall)

I hope you had a fantastic last week and now it's that time again where we get to check in with the community and see what questions we have for this weekend! Here are today's Q&A's:  Camille: Hi Dr. Cabral, In my house, you are known as "Cabral"...I talk about you and quote you SO much, we've just shortened it to Cabral...anyway, I use your All in One Daily shake and daily fruits & vegetable powder in the smoothies I make every singe day for my husband and I. I also take your activated B everyday. I have completed one of your 7 day detox programs with huge success. Swear by those for sure. My question today is: What do you think about collagen powder or products? I am 58 yrs old and wonder if I need to use this or if there is really any benefit. If you do recommend them, what is a good one to use? I follow your clean eating menu from the detox and exercise about 20 minutes 6 days a week. Thank you in advance. Your so kind to share your wisdom in so many ways. Camille   Cindy: Hello there Stephen Cabral. God bless you and your team for all you do for everyone! My question is... I've suffering from fibroids for like 3 months. I cramp all day everyday and now I have low back pain. What can I do to shrink these fibroids? Pls help! Thank you in advance!  Maryanne: Dr. Cabral, i have listened to all your podcasts and want to thank you for all the education you provide in the area of naturopathic medicine. I have learned so much that has changed the lives of my family and myself! I have an interesting problem that I want your opinion on. 5 months ago, my left knee developed a PAINLESS effusion that since then as recurred approximately every 10 days. During that time my knee is quite stiff and difficult to move in full range of motion, but doesn't prevent me from living life. It lasts 2-3 days and then resolves until the next time. Between exacerbations, i have some mild tingling in BOTH of my knees. It is a predictable occurrence that I can keep track of on my calendar! I don't have any other joint pain or swelling except mild right thumb pain that I believe is related to computer work. I had blood work done by my PCP and it was negative for lyme, rheumatoid factor and inflammatory markers. My PCP was at a loss for what this could be as well. I have eliminated gluten and sugar from my diet, but sometimes indulge. I rarely eat dairy as well. I have researched the internet and have read about intermittent hydrarthrosis which seems to describe my problem exactly. I am reluctant to see a rheumatologist because this is somewhat manageable, although frustrating during the days my knee is swollen. It doesn't hurt but can slow me down. I'm a 54 year old post menopausal woman in good health, not overweight and no chronic health problems. I plan on doing your 7-day detox, but am also wondering what else I can do to address this problem? I'm afraid this could evolve into rheumatoid arthritis or some other auto immune illness. My father had RA. I really appreciate your time in addressing my health concerns. Thanks again for all your podcasts and great information.   Maya: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been struggling to lose excess weight in the lower half of my body only. I also experience extreme brain fog, difficulty focusing and have been unable to have an orgasm. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, adrenal fatigue, gut permeability and Epstein-Barr. I've done a lot of functional testing and most recently, I did a neuroadrenal test from Neuroscience that showed I have low sympathetic tone, high immune activation and central imbalance, low serotonin, epinephrine and norepinephrine and high cortisol levels. I have taken countless supplements that don't seem to make a difference. I have experiemneted with paleo, AIP and ketogenic diets. And I have tried various types of exercise, including HIIT, circuit and resistance training, yoga, qigong, etc. I meditate, journal and practice self love regularly and am getting frustrated with the lack of results. Would love any advice on any or all of the above. Thank you so so much for everything you do. I wish all doctors were like you! Best, Maya Jen: I was reading an aarticle about how boosting 1GF-1 Protein by eating certain foods in a particular order, can rid your body of cellulite permanently. I  wondered what your thoughts were on this. If cellulite is a toxicity issue, then whats the best way to rid your cells of all those toxins? Would eating these foods do it? Thomas: Love your podcast!! Everyone talks about ways to loose weight but how about if you want to put on 10 pounds? I went gluten free about 3 years ago and on what I would call a whole foods diet. I love the results, less inflammation. I have back surgery 10 plus years ago and still had a little swelling around the scar for years and the gluten free diet really helped with that and with what doctors where calling arthritis but I guess was really just inflammation. That all said I went from 185 pounds to around 170. I am 6' 2'' and pretty active and can easily carry another 10 pounds put am one of those people that does not can weight very easily. Even when I ate anything it was hard to maintain 185. Any ideas how I can put on healthy weight?   I hope you enjoyed today's community Q&A and be sure to come back tomorrow where we answer more of your questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com.575 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

572: Recommit to Your Body Transformation Goals (WW)

After almost 20 years in the health & fitness industry I've noticed 3 specific points in the year that are the most effective times to recommit to your goals... These are the times where you'll have the greatest chance of success and the longest stretches of uninterrupted periods to really dive into a healthy nutrition and exercise plan... Likewise, I've also seen 3 big dips during the course of a calendar year where we need to prepare ourselves to expect more obstacles to come up... It's during these times that we may look to just "ride the wave" and maintain our results rather than always pushing for more...

571: The 7 Most Common Intermittent Fasting Mistakes (TWT)

I'm sure even going back just 100 years ago people would be laughing at us talking about taking a break from eating! The truth is that we have so much food abundance (in many countries) that we actually have to be convinced it's NOT a good thing to always be eating - even healthy food... The reason for this is that we as humans are hard-wired to eat, gain weight, and protect our bodies for survival... The problem is that nature didn't really account for refrigeration and processed foods, which allow us to have near unlimited access to food 24/7/365... Therefore, it is vitally important we re-learn diurnal eating cycles in order to improve our health, transform our bodies, and live longer! But, like with anything, intermittent fasting can be done the right way, or the wrong way depending on your needs... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 571 I want to teach you the 7 most common intermittent fasting mistakes - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/571 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

570: Why You Must Embrace Being Uncomfortable (MM)

Growing up we're always being shielded from hardships... Our parents, community, and everyone that cares for us tries to the best of their ability to protect us and make our life as comfortable as possible... Eventually this leads to the mindset that we must avoid as many challenging situations as possible - After all, we've been taught that the goal is to remain in our "safe zone." The problem is that playing it safe can often backfire and what we're left with is a life that is anything but happy or fulfilled...

569: Infant Formula, Working with Me, Crohn's Testing, Diaper Rash, Child Seizures (HouseCall)

Thank you for tuning back into our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend - We've got some great Q&A's today. Here are today's community questions: Susie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am pregnant and am planning on breastfeeding my baby. A friend of mine however started to breastfeed but had to stop after her baby developed an allergy to her milk.... I read the ingredients list for the crazy expensive can of formula she is using and saw some ingredients that I didn't really like such as palm kernel oil etc... It was a major brand that everyone would know, but it was far more expensive than the regular formula because apparently it is their "allergy" or "medical" formula. What would your suggestion be for a brand of formula if a mother has to use it (or chooses to use it) over breast milk. I cannot thank you enough for all that you do. Susie Lubos: Dr. Cabral. Not sure if this is even a good question, but let me try… (BTW, thank you for answering my question about 23&me). I have heard you say several times – let’s stop guessing and start testing (referring to diagnosing symptoms or disease). The approach really resonates. However, most of us, including myself already have bunch of blood test results, sleep lab results, urine tests… etc. Most of us also tried supplements (not necessarily yours), medications, diets etc. Yet, most of us are still sick, fat, hypertensive and…quite frankly miserable (I am seriously projecting here J). Then, a person like yourself comes along - someone with proven track record and self-administered results. That’s powerful. To my question now: Where should one start? Let’s say, I’d like you to help me get into great health, yet I – like most of us – have limited budget. I’d honestly love to do all the tests that you provide, but simply cannot afford them all. Is there a cheat sheet, something that I could follow to gain confidence that I am ‘getting the biggest bang for my buck’. Should I do the genetic test first? Or should I try the 21 day detox and see if that fixes things (even though it goes against ‘let’s stop guessing and start testing’). Can you, please, bring clarity to those of us (or perhaps only me) who don’t see the forest for the trees and don’t really know which path to follow. As always, you and your work are impressive. Thank you for all you do. Lubo  Jen: Hi Dr Cabral, I would like to know the proper protocol for my situation. I'm 56 and have had Crohn's disease for 20 years. I had a stricture about 3 years ago and had a portion of my large intestine removed and started a maintenance dose of remicade every 3 months. I have also gained about 15 lbs since taking the remicade and would like to shed that as well. I am feeling good, exercise daily, but would like to get off the remicade and heal my body the proper way. I take Metamucil to add fiber 2 x a day, a vsl 3 probiotic, D3, and a multi. I ordered the 3 week detox and would like to proceed with the proper testing and supplements. How would you recommend I begin my journey to better health. Thank you for your wonderful podcasts. Jen Sent from my iPhone   Jodi: Hi Dr. Cabral, My friend's baby has a pretty bad diaper rash. Are there natural creams or powders that can clear it up?   Macy: Hello! Thank you for such a helpful and informative podcast! I have a question I am hoping you can answer! What would be your protocol for a child (elementary age) who has petit mal seizures? Would a child with this condition benefit from a gut based diet (like gaps) or extra supplements? Can food sensitivities play a role? Your thoughts, advice or recommendations would be very much appreciated.

568: Body Types, Gut Cleansing Steps, Concussion, Swollen Knuckles, Food Testing Prep (HouseCall)

Welcome to our first Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! Here are today's community questions: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral I've heard you talk a little about body types and wondered how much this affects what each type eats and how they are supposed to exercise. Could you give a brief overview of each of those different body types (Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph) and how to tell which one I might be as well as the best exercise and foods for each type? Also, How does your blood type affect the way you breakdown food and should eat? Thanks - Jen   Josie: Hi Doc, I bought the parasite and candida cleanse, but decided to be safe and do the h. Pylori treatment first. My questions are: Should I follow the healthy gut guide (for the candida) for the entire cleanse? Also, I'm noticing that I'm having bloating after eating meats (specifically fish and eggs). You mentioned Great Lakes collagen protein powder and I'm wondering if I can use it during these cleanses.   Steph B: Hello Doctor! Thank you so much for EVERYTHING you do! I recently left you a 5 star review on iTunes! I try to listen to your podcasts every day, but if I can't, I save them up and "binge" listen to them! I'm very grateful to you. In April of 2016, my best-friend suffered a severe concussion. She was in the middle of moving to a new home and while cleaning a small crawlspace, her husband came up behind her and startled her. She raised up with much vigor (eek...!) and slammed her head against the top of the crawl space. She has had brain scans and other tests run, and all come up with nothing. They have told her that here is no cure for concussion. Chiropractor visits & acupuncture treatments have helped, but her headaches flare with stress & activity, heat, wine, and even certain sounds. She's miserable most of the time and some days she cannot even get out of bed. She is a married mother of three young children, and not even 40 years-old. She recently confided in me that sometimes she feels like her life is over. My heart was broken. I looked through your prior podcasts, but didn't see anything about concussions. Please doctor, any advice, or suggestions for my friend?   Jodi: Hi Dr Cabral, Thanks for creating such wonderful podcasts. They have been fun, interesting and helpful. My question is about bulging knuckles. In 2013 I noticed the knuckles on both hands on my pointer fingers were enlarged. In 2014 I saw a hand specialist and surgeon to determine what was happening thinking they could remove what I thought was an enlargement of my knuckle bone. I was told I had thumb CMC arthritis (Basel joint arthritis) and there is nothing they could do. I had no pain at the time of my appointment but now over the years I am experiencing some pain when I hold things in my hands for an extended amount of time and my knuckles are getting larger. My hands do tingle and ache occasionally when I'm just sitting. I will be 60 in September, I am a whole foods lean eater, and I exercise 4-5 days a week. In my 20-30's I was a body builder (not to compete) but now I lift light weights to stay fit a couple times a week for my arms. I don't have any pain when I exercise or type at work. I have done your 7 day detox and now I have your daily nutritional shake every morning, and I follow the detox meal protocol for lunch and dinner. Super simple to do. I do have an occasional glass or two of wine on the weekends. My once beautiful hands are getting quite gnarly and the area between my thumb and pointer finger is starting to sink in. All of my other knuckles are normal. Is there anything I can do to stop or reverse this or put it in remission? Should I stop exercising, get a different angled keyboard, take supplements, check with a different Dr for surgery? I hope you can help. Thank you.   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm going to be starting your 21 Day Detox this weekend to hopefully clear up some acne that I've been experiencing for about 4 months now. I ordered your Food Sensitivity Test, in hopes that I could complete this before starting the cleanse; however, I just learned that the shipping facility is awaiting the next shipment of test kits, so it won't be delivered until the end of next week. I'm deciding to start the cleanse before receiving the kit. Do you have any suggestions for how I should proceed with this testing, after completing the detox? I have some unexplained acne that I'm working to clear up and I don't want to go back to eating any foods that I may be allergic to, and linked to my acne, for the sake of testing just to be back at square one, as it is suggested to eat a variety of foods before taking the test. Thank you so much! Thank you for tuning in and I look forward to answering more of our community questions tomorrow! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/568 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

567: Use This Test to Discover Your True Biological Age (FR)

All of us are use to celebrating our birthday every year and getting one year old (chronologically), but... Your chronological age can often be drastically different than your biological age... What this means is that regardless of the actual number of birthday's you've celebrated, the inside of your body may be aging at a faster (or slower) rate... The goal, of course, is to slow down the aging process as much as possible, so that age truly does become "just a number." And by slowing the aging process you will get to enjoy more energy, stamina, better moods, vibrant hair/skin/nails, and over-all a greater sense of well-being...

Welcome to our first Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! We're getting ready to answer some of our community's amazing questions on wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging. I'm looking forward to sharing those answers with you so let's get started! Scott: Hi Dr. Cabral - I recently accompanied my fiance on her visit to the Wellness Institute. I must say I'm thoroughly impressed with the whole experience, especially with the amount of time and effort you put into each appointment/consultation. My fiance has me hooked on the podcasts! Thank you very much for the knowledge you share with us. With that said, I have some questions of my own, but first, just a little background. I'm a 30 year old male who played at a very high level of soccer up until graduating from school, and since then, still play quite competitively. I've always been prone to injuries and most recently I've been diagnosed with bulging discs in my lower back (L5) as well as in my C3/C4, C4/C5 and stenosis in my C5/C6 - quite a mess right now. Long story short, I've been in a lot of pain over the last two weeks with the bulging pressing on the cervical nerves radiating down my shoulder and into my hand. My questions are which supplements do you recommend I take to help in the healing process? I've read about MSM, Omega 3, and Glucosamine and Chondroitin. I haven't heard of MSM, but read that it's a "miracle drug". Where does one purchase these or other types of supplements? And lastly, I'm hoping you have a recommendation on any exercises (I envision you as the Wikipedia of health - my apologies, I'm asking too much), whether that be an inversion board or some other type of exercise. I've been advised to go see a spinal specialist and will be making appointments today. Thank you again for the podcast service and such a great practice! Regards, Scott   Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thanks for all the great information you've provided in your podcasts. I've learned so much! My question today is related to excessive sweating and body odor when doing so. My teenage stepdaughter is very active in sports. She's muscular and strong, bigger than most girls her age, but 'solid' not flabby. Based on my experience, she sweats more than most grown men and her body odor when sweating is quite pungent. Her clothes smell like a stale dirty gym locker room and must be washed immediately. Her father (my husband) and her sister (my other stepdaughter) do not have this issue at all. It might be something genetic from her biological mom's family, but that's unknown to us. Do you have any suggestions for what might be causing this and how we might help prevent this? Thanks for all the help you provide to your listeners!!   Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have 2 questions for you that I hope you can help me with. I recently read a book, Eating on the Wild Side, and I loved learning about eating the right foods. In this book they say the skins of fruit and veggies are nutritious......However, now Im reading The Plant Paradox and its about lectins and how harmful they are for us and its in the skins of our fruits and veggies. What is your opinion on lectins? My other question is about the OATS testing. I did this testing, however, I also do the NutrEval testing....can you explain the difference? The OATS test showed no yeast, but the NutrEval showed high yeast. This is confusing for me and would like your input. Thank you so much for everything you do and God bless your family! Lisa   Mariellen: Thanks for everything you do for your listeners. I previously wrote in and ordered the hormone test and had my consult with your health coach and just ordered the DIM Evail and adrenal response complete care. I am on month 2 of the candida protocol and haven't stuck to the diet as well as I should, but have noticed reduced bloating and other benefits. I also take your Daily Activated Multivitamin. I feel like everything and anything gives me headaches.. I have been using the netti pot and when I have my bad headaches it does make me feel a little better, but notice after I use it when I bend over.. water pours of my nose and not sure if it's normal when I use it I can sometimes feel it in my throat. My headaches are always the back of my head, my ears, my sinuses and my eyes always hurt and burn when I get them. They are usually pulsating. I also had trouble swallowing and getting food down. I have been choking here and there. I also have heart burn and do not talk anything for that. Sometimes when I swallow my pills for the candida protocol and my vitamin, the side of my stomach will start throbbing with pain. Sometimes it even feels like it's hard to breathe and I always feel the need to clear my throat. My thyroid is ok I have had that checked out. Any thoughts would help and any natural remedies would be great seeing as I do not want to take anything for acid reflex etc.   Ewa: Hello, thanks dr Cabral for all that you do, so grateful and appreciate you daily! I would like to know what you suggest I do regarding me very intense yellow urine. This has been the case for about 6 weeks. I live mostly a healthy lifestyle, with food exercise and weight under control. I drink plenty of water , Dr Cabral daily support shake f breakfast, and your probiotic. I take 120 mg extra magnesium glycinate daily , can that cause the discoloring, even tho I dont notice any difference the days I forget the magnesium... I cant recall any particular diet change when this all began ... appreciate your opinion on this, thanks a bunch! Ewa (like Eva, but you can spell it out any way you like ;) Im going to the bathroom A LOT, at least every hour and have been doing so even before this color change happened. Thought that should be included in the bigger picture in case that helps as a clue... Thanks a bunch! Ewa

561: Seizures, Health Condition Root Cause, Annual Review, Medicated Children, Cysts (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend and I hope you were able to tune into yesterday's 6 community questions! We had a great Q&A session and I'm looking forward to sharing more with you today with these brand new questions: Mariellen: Dr Cabral, you have always helped me in finding answers to my health issues and I am on a journey to getting better. I am not writing in for myself. I have a friend who for years has had what I would say are seizures. She has crashed her car before, been on vacation far from home and had this happen. There seems to be no common factor in these episodes. When she was on vacation she had a wild dream about a ton of spiders and woke up and her fiancé found her seizing and she always throws up after and sometimes pees herself as well. Out to dinner, she became unconscious, no seizing (which she said sometimes happens) and this was the only event where this has happened where she has had alcohol in her system but she literally became limp and was completely out for a minute or possibly longer and was sweating perfusely and began to vomit minutes later. We had just finished dinner and she was drinking water along with her dinner. She is a hairdresser and yesterday had mentioned she did a wedding and barely ate anything all day. She always feels completely exhausted after. Sometimes there is seizing and sometimes, there is not. No one will give her answer. She once had her stitches taken out and had a seizure. Anything would be helpful. Thank you In addition to my other question just wanted to add on that she smokes marijuana and in the vacation case, she hadn't smoked for 4 days and had one and yesterday was the first day she hadn't smoked in awhile. The doctors will not diagnosis her with epilepsy because whatever test they ran came back negative and they say what she has are not seizures. Any advice would help.     Josie: Dear Doctor Cabral, I've been listening to all of your podcasts and learning soooo much. I really enjoy listening. I am currently working on improving my own health, but my mother's health is very worrisome. These are a list of her major conditions. I was hoping you would have some ideas on a place for my mother to start. Primary liver sclerosis, State 3 liver disease Colitis Crohn's UC Diverticulitis Autoimmune Hepatitis IBD Hiatal hernia Osteoporosis Hepatocellular She has had part of her bowels removed 7 years ago. She gets esophageal varices because of her liver disease. She experiences abdominal pain, spasms, bloating, extreme fatigue. My mother is on a LOT of meds for her illnesses, but she is only 58! She has been on antibiotics for about 2 years. I hate that she is on them, but the doctors have had her on them since she had septic shock and acute renal failure in 2015. I would like to encourage her to strengthen her liver. We have listened her your podcasts and learned that low fat diets are good for your liver. I'm trying to get her to drop gluton and sugar, and start drinking warm water. She already enjoys water with lemon, but I'd like to leave her with more. Would you think that starting there is sufficient or might you have more recommendations? Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you do, Josie   Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral, First and foremost, I found your podcast a couple of months ago and I have been listening to you nonstop as I love learning about optimal health and nutrition. I value all of the hard work you do especially because it is derived from your own struggle and quest now to serve others. Recent History: I had a crash cesarean 21 months ago. I ended up with a very rare condition called velamentous cord insertion. My daughter arrived at 36 weeks 2 days (after a healthy pregnancy - no red flags) she lost a tremendous amount of blood before delivery, required intubation, 2 blood transfusions and was almost immediately transported via ambulance to CHOC where she was cooled to 91 degrees for 72 hours. She survived and thrived, no stroke no seizure, no developmental delays. We now share our story on behalf of CHOC at fundraisers and have contributed to the new NICU they just completed building. We have been able to serve others through our trauma. We eat paleo-ish, always organic / free-range / pastured / no gluten. I did start incorporating raw goat dairy a few months ago. I have one cup of coffee a day, usually half caffeine. I do yoga/pilates and with a toddler and two businesses I'd say my stress level is moderate. I wanted to clean up my system after having surgery and antibiotics. At 12 months postpartum (last November - January) I did a very in-depth 12 week gut thrive program. It started with an anti-inflammatory diet and moved into a pathogen purge, followed up my a reseeding phase. The clinical nutritionist is very similar to you in most ways with her philosophies and practices. The program included things like proteolytic enzymes, digestive enzymes, biocidin, atak, mors, diamateceaus earth+clay, triphala, Pure encapuslations/Orthomolecular high quality supplements, coffee enemas and probiotic enemas, heavy hitting oral probiotics, etc. I had to do the pathogen purge at 1/2 dose because I was still nursing. My husband and I did preconception work with our nutrition before I got pregnant with my daughter. I took a couple of different prenatals throughout: Innate, New Chapter, Garden of Life. Around 10 months postpartum I had lab work that confirmed I was low in D / K / B's and tested positive for MTHFR 1298C mutation. After finding this out, I switched to Seeking Health Prenatal which is high in methylated B's. I am now taking Orthomolecular prenatal. I am also taking your Daily Fruit and Vegetable powder and I just started trying your Nutritional support protein. Currently, I am still breastfeeding during the day. (we night weaned 3 months ago) I have had 3 menstrual cycles starting at 17 1/2 months postpartum and they have been irregular...roughly 40-45 days. I just had my annual blood work ran with a functional medicine doctor here in California although, he was not very thorough and still seemed to be on that 15 minute time allotment. Cholesterol was good. Total: 178 / HDL: 77 / LDL: 93 Triglycerides: 42 He said my D was low, but it read 53.4 so that should be good. Low in B's B12: 17 / Folate: 37 / Pantothenate: 9 Low in Vitamin C: 48 Thyroid: Free T4: 1.18 Free T3: 2.4 Reverse T3: 13.4 Thyroid peroxidase antibodies:   Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral! One of my largest life struggles over the last few years has been watching my 9 year old step son taking Resperidone. He was diagnosed as autistic at 13 months, which I don't even know how that's possible so young. His mother has all of the medical rights and at 6 years old, his psychiatrist (who spends 5 minutes with him) placed him on Resperidone (originally created for adult schizophrenics, it has been found to cause type II diabetes in children and breast growth in boys). She did this without trying anything by the way of nutrition, genetic testing, supplementation, physical activity or consoling. He has always seemed like a completely regular child in our care. We have tried to make the aforementioned suggestions to his mom, but she never moves forward with any of our suggestions. 6 months ago, he was re-tested by Regional (for the first time since he was a baby) and they said he is NOT autistic. The mother asked for more testing which they did and again they deemed him not autistic and they wanted him to be moved into a regular school. He was in a school for emotionally challenged children. Since then the mother has added him on a second medication -it's actually a blood pressure medication they're using for children with ADD. Our hands are tied, and we only have him every other weekend. His nutrition at his moms is devoid... he has cheerios for breakfast... whereas we don't have anything processed like that. Is there anything that we can supplement him with in the time we have him to help him? If his mom got serious about getting him off of these medications, what protocol would you suggest? I worry about him so much. I have reached out to his mom several times trying to help her understand and utilize natural modalities. In gratitude, Cara   Miles: Hello I am wondering what I could do to get rid of a cyst and make it dissolve or whatever. It is in an embarrassing and annoying painful place (scrotum) and I am willing to try basically anything at this point to avoid having it surgically removed. I have tried turmeric supplements but can't take them because they make my stomach uneasy and I get heartburn . Maybe another recipe would work. I would like to try cbd oil if it might help . Any advice would be amazing thanks ! Thank you for tuning into this week's HouseCalls and I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow on our Mindset & Motivation Monday show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/561 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

560: Learn to Speed Read + The Definitive Guide to Cancer (FR)

One of the most popular questions I get is how (and why!) did I read so many books in such a short period of time? I always tell people that I wasn't born with any special speed reading ability and when I started out, I was actually a 3-page per minute (or slower) reader... What happened was that I learned a few techniques that allowed me to cut my reading time by more than half, and then again by another half when I became more skilled... This then allowed me to read thousands of books and discover the knowledge I needed to get well, and then share it with others...

559: Get Better Results By Skipping the Scale and Doing This Instead (TT)

My least favorite form of measuring a client's progress is by weighing them in on a daily basis... Many people have a fear of the scale and rightly so... Sometimes you'll feel like you're doing everything right, yet the number isn't budging in the direction as much as you'd like... The good news is that if you dislike doing weigh-ins there are actually better measurements for tracking your results...

558: The 10 Things That Will Make You Sick, Fat & Depressed (WW)

Unfortunately in our Western-based, conventional medicine society we've grown up thinking that our health and wellness is largely determined by our genetics... And we've also been led to believe that our mental health is a consequence of our genes and upbringing... The truth, though, is so far removed from that ideological worldview that it seems insane most doctors still subscribe to it... We know that certain lifestyle factors cause sickness, disease, weight gain, and depression, yet we tend to ignore them because "a pill" is always ready to be prescribed... As I said, it's unfortunate, but the good news is that you don't have to be a victim any longer - Tune into today's #CabralConcept 558 to discover "10 Things That Will Make You Sick, Fat & Depressed" - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/558 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

556: Why You Must Embrace the Struggle (MM)

I think too often we fall in love with the idea of living "happily ever after." We've been brainwashed through fairy tales and myths that a rainbow and pot of gold exist at the other side of our problems... But the real truth has been known throughout the ages: There is no happiness without struggle. There is no joy without sadness. The trick is to not have to "suffer" or struggle for too long before you can realize that fact and move through it to happier times...

555: Hip Bursitis, Immune Stress, Type 1 Diabetes, Never Feel Rested, HIV Care (HouseCall)

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's Cabral #HouseCall and that you're ready to get started with another 5 community questions! Here's what we'll be covering today (and plenty more tips!): Joanie: I love listening to your podcasts and have learned so much from you. Thanks for all you do getting this information out especially for free. I have been dealing with hip bursitis for the past 8 months. It's worse when I go from sitting to standing. I have always been active and enjoyed running (not long distance running), but any high impact I do now is painful. I have had xrays, been to chiropractors, orthopedic surgeon and had a hip injection which only helped for a couple of weeks. I am wondering if I should get another injection? I am very healthy - no grains, no dairy, eat lots of veggies/fruits/lean protein. I have been doing stretches, yoga, walking, etc. but nothing seems to help make it go away. Any information you can give me would be great! Thank you so much!!   Rebekah: Hello! I recently had blood work and found that my WBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit and platelet count were all on the low end. All but the platelet count were only low by .5 or less. My platelet count was 111ng/ml. This is the first time I've seen these issues before. I'm just wondering what it could be. My naturopath said it could be immune stress and my GI said I should see a hematologist. Ferritin is 9 ng/ml and vitamin D is 35 which I know ideal is 50-70ng/ml but its gone up remarkably from 13ng/ml (this increase in vitamin D is 2 weeks on your daily nutritional support powder). Pretty healthy 27yr old femal. the only known issues are upper GI based. Reflux, indigestion, bloating, abdominal pain from time to time, but I'm taking your healthy belly for that as I suspect it's h.pylori after and encounter with food poisoning. So, where should I begin looking and what is immune stress??   Galina: My husband who is 25 year old and otherwise is in good health was just diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Every doctor asked us if he had any illnesses recently or stress. He did in fact have a very stressful period in his life about 3-6 months prior to diagnosis. I understand its an autoimmune disorder and everyone everywhere says its not reversible. My question is if its not possible to reverse T1D and regrow new pancreas, is it possible to reverse autoimmune mechanism, to stop his body from attacking itself, get rid of antibodies? If so, how? Thank you    Heather: Hi Dr. Cabral. I am wondering what test you would recommend I start with. I am a 29yr old female. I live a pretty healthy lifestyle (eat all organic, non-processed foods and exercise about 3-4x a week). When I was 22 I was diagnosed with thyroiditis that eventually resolved on it's own and no medication was needed. Ever since then I've felt my body changed (maybe it's just a coincidence?). A year after I started to develop a strange problem where multiple times a month I would wake up in the morning with my eyes severely swollen shut as if I had an allergic reaction. For the past 5 years or so I haven't found any answers, with doctors being completely stumped. some suggested a food allergy (ive had testing) others suggested idiopathic angioedema and recently had my thyroid checked again with blood work. I feel it's related to my hormones. I used to take my birth control pill every night before bed. I decided 4 years ago to stop taking birth control pills to see if I would get any relief. It helped tremendously and now I only have minimal swelling once a month always a week before my period. On a side note, I'm always extremely tired and I can't seem to figure out why. I get a minimum of 7 hours of sleep a night. I never feel rested upon waking and always crash around 3pm and need to take a nap. If I don't set an alarm I could easily sleep 12 hours. Do you think the tiredness is related to whatever else is occurring? Thank you for all you do, I truly appreciate it and enjoy listening to your daily podcasts every morning on my way to work! Heather    Anonymous: I am a married mother of three lovely boys, 49 years old, overweight, menopausal and working 40-50 hours of night shift a week as a flight nurse. Life is busy, rewarding, fun and stressful. Have just found your podcast and loving all the wisdom, information and real-ness. So, as well as fighting the weight, fatigue and hormones, I have been living with HIV for 20 years. I have been on and off meds throughout that time, depending on the wisdom and practice of my ID doctor, have never been sick and maintain CD4 > 900 and undetectable copies. Currently on Odefsey with no obvious side effects, but I worry about the toxicity. In another life, naturopathy as a career would have been my thing, I'd love your insight on functional medicines role in HIV care. Appreciate it, thank you. Thanks for tuning into this weekend's Q&A and I'll be back tomorrow with our Mindset & Motivation Monday! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/555 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

554: Missing Gallbladder, Chemotherapy Compliment, Prolapsed Uterus, Clean Mattress, Lab Test Accuracy (HouseCall)

I can't believe it's already time for another Cabral HouseCall - the weeks have been flying by! I'm really looking forward to today's show and here are our community's questions: Vicky: Dr. Cabral, I would like to start using your Daily Nutritional Support. I had my gallbladder removed about 10 years ago. So I'm wondering if this Support is safe for me to use. Also take 50 mg Losartan for high blood pressure. Recently diagnosed with a hernia. With the above, would the product be ok for me to start using. Always look forward every morning to listening to your podcast. Thank you so much for your help and time. Vicky   Maggie: my son has been battling a very rare form of cancer since he was five. He has been sick a lot due to all the chemo wiping out his immune system. We almost lost him around December 2016. He is now almost seven and has recently been sick with a virus in his blood that the doctors cannot control. I want to build up his immune system and help him fight his cancer in as natural way as possible. Could you please recommend how I can go about this. Thank you so much for all your advise and help. You are a blessing to us all. Maggie   Cindy: Hello Dr Stephen Cabral, I have a question. Thanks again for all your podcasts and for all the information you provide to us. May God bless you , your team and your family. My question is... why is my uterus low? How can I fix this issue? Thanks again.    Michele: Hi Dr. Cabral, So many people I know are looking for recommendations for comfortable mattresses that aren't toxic. Can you recommend a couple of brands? Curious what you use? I have one all cotton one for my child and my husband and I are due for a new one. Ours is not a "clean" mattress and not particularly comfortable. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Michele    Sotirios: Greetings I read about your work with great interest. I specifically read that some consumer groups have send to different labs ( I don't know which ones ) same blood samples and they receive different and not overlapping results. Or that food sensitivity testing has not been studied systematically so we have no reliable evidence that it is meaningful. For instance - How you make sure the tears are accurate ? Do you run them twice ? We were thinking of purchasing some of the tests in my family but I would like to read more about that in detail if it is possible . Many thanks best wishes Thank you for tuning in and I can't wait to share with you a brand new set of Q&As tomorrow! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/554 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

549: The Invisible Chains Holding You Back (MM)

It's hard to believe, but the way we now view life had already been shaped well before we even graduated from high school... This is why I've said before that most people only have the illusion of choice... They've never been told that the reason they think and act the way they do is due to preconceived conditioning that happened during childhood... So although your subconscious thoughts can be reprogrammed you have to figure out what to reprogram in the first place! This will then allow you to be free in mind and body to begin to achieve any goals you've set for yourself! (No more self-sabotage.)

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's #HouseCall and you're ready to get started with another community Q&A! Here are today's questions I'll be answering: Lubos: Dr. Cabral. What is the main difference between 23&me vs. the genetic testing you provide via your website? I assume you may have covered this topic before (I'm relatively new to your podcast and to you) but there seems to be no content search functionality on your blog/website. Thank you and thank you for all you do. Lubos    Anonymous: Hey Doctor Cabral! Love your podcast dearly, thank you for all the information you provide. I love to learn from you. I found out I have the heterozygous MTHFR 677C/T mutation and was wondering if it is necessary for my to consume additional folate besides my daily multi vitamin which already contains 400mg. When I tried additional folate I got bad reactions such as insomnia and anxiety so I stopped, but I have read your body needs to go through a adjustment period for compensating for so long with this mutation. Is there any truth to this? Thanks!    Aileen: Hi there! You mentioned in a recent podcast that dairy definitely feeds cancer (not causes but feeds the growth of cells when you have it). A friends sisters cancer has metasticized and her Dr said dietary changes aren't important but exercise is (!!!!!). Can you speak to the research behind this so I can send her in the right direction? Couldn't find any clean examples online. Thank you! I'll be sure to review on iTunes - I don't listen to any podcasts other than yours and they're so informative.    Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to start by saying thank you for everything you do, and for the accessible and unmatched information you offer through the best podcast out there! My question is regarding my mom's eyes. About a month ago her eyes have started to tear throughout the day. They are not itchy or red but have a sticky residue in the mornings, can be puffy, and they leave a crusty deposit around the tear ducts. She has used antibiotic eye drops that did not help. She had a bad case of pink eye about a year ago which was treated by antibiotic eye drops, which seemed to help. She has allergies to pollen and cats, as well as asthma. I have suggested to her that her sensitivities to histamines could be a cause and she has switched her face cream to Argan oil. Any suggestions would help! Thank you for your time, it is greatly appreciated. Angela     Anita: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to your podcast every day. You are truly amazing because of all the knowledge and help you give to so many people. I'll give you my history in as little words as possible here. I've been vegan for over four years now. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables and some grains. I probably eat more sugar than I should by means of dark chocolate. I don't eat gluten because I have celiac disease, I'm 50 now. I'm depressed, anxious and exhausted all the time. I get bladder infections almost every time my husband and I are intimate, although since you have suggested probiotics I haven't had one for a month now. My joints are incredibly sore all over my body especially my hands, feet, hips and shoulders. I'm taking 50 billion probiotics with eight strains because I believe from what everything you have taught me that I have a leaky gut. I also have GERD, IBS, and have fibroids in my uterus. I wonder if I have yeast overgrowth. I ordered your Dr. Cabral three week detox and will be starting as soon as it gets here. Dr. Cabral, if you could give me any advice specific to my situation I would be forever grateful as I have been living in this state for many years and it's affecting my personal and professional life in a very bad way. Thank you for all that you do!     Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral, Great information and all of your podcast! I am a health coach and have used your detox protocol on myself and others with great results! My question is regarding a special client of mine. This person has majority of their colon removed. She has just enough left so she doesn't have to have a bag. I want her to do a detox protocol but she is worried about the fiber intake and problems with her lack of colon. What would you recommend as a detox protocol for this client. Does she still need to take some sort of fiber/binding agent or is she OK to just "let things come out" so to speak. Lol thank you so much for all of your wonderful information and health advice. - Laura   Thank you for tuning in this weekend to the Cabral Concept HouseCall shows and I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/548 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

547: Dark Times, Meniere's Disease, Children's Health, Tea Sensitivity, Always Catching Colds (HouseCall)

Welcome back to the weekend Cabral HouseCalls! It's great to have you and I can't wait to get into today's community questions - Let's get started! Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, Long-time listener (and asker of questions). Here’s my entire health history, in a TINY nutshell: - Lifelong history of terrible nutrition: I was raised on sugar and have craved (and consumed) sugary, fatty, terrible food for as long as I can remember. Despite this poor diet, I have always been athletic and obsessed with strength and fitness. - For my entire adult life (I am 37) I have experienced recurring fungal skin infections, all over body, and bloating. - 5-6 years ago, I started suffering from persistent anxiety attacks. I did nothing to treat the anxiety, other than learn not to freak out during an attack. Over time (6-7 months) the attacks, pretty much disappeared. - 9 months ago, out of nowhere, I developed a nasty wheezing cough, that would come and go, and which was, eventually, diagnosed as LPR. I started to rely on an albuterol inhaler for my asthma. I have tried many approaches to treating this, including eliminating stress, taking melatonin at night, and drastically changing my diet, all to limited success. SO…anxiety, fungal infections with bloating, LPR. I am, now, one month into your candida and bacterial overgrowth protocol. Without doubt, this has made a difference: I’ve lost fat, I don’t tend to need my inhaler, my fungal skin infections seem to be pretty much non-existent, and (this is a little embarrassing) my wife no longer suffers a yeast infection EVERY time we have sex: this was the case for years. (Is this a definite sign of candida?) I work out 6 days a week (weights 3 times, cardio 3 times), practice intermittent fasting (16/8), and am allowing myself 1 (healthy) cheat meal per week, including a small dessert. (I do, also, have 1 cup of black coffee every morning...I hope this is okay?!) Anyway, all in all, I am doing much better than I was. However, I do find that these symptoms persist: tension in diaphragm (anxiety?), lump in throat, excessive burping, and tightness in lungs. But, here’s the interesting thing that I hope you can shed some light on: my symptoms seem to be (and this has always been the case) manifesting as part of a cycle. What happens is, I’ll go about a week with virtually no symptoms, and then the symptoms start to kick in, and gradually worsen, over the course of about 7-10 days. Typically, it’ll start with the tension in the diaphragm, then burping and throat issues, then some asthma-like symptoms of tightness in the lungs (although I don’t seem to get the wheeziness that used to be there), and anxiety is always accompanying these. After this 7-10 day period, the symptoms start to slowly go away, and I have a decent week or so. I don’t change my diet or lifestyle, in any way. It feels like as soon as I start to think “hey, maybe I’m starting to heal,” the symptoms return. It’s incredibly frustrating and demoralizing. With all of that being said, I wondered if this persistent cycle of symptoms is something you’re familiar with, and/or if my description tells you something that I haven’t considered. Also, how much of a role do thoughts (both negative and positive) play in this? Is it possible that ALL of my symptoms are caused by stress/negativity? I ask because I have tended toward negative, depressed, thoughts for as long as I can remember, and I definitely feel physically worse when I’m depressed/stressed. At this stage, I feel that my best course of action is to continue the candida/bacterial overgrowth protocol, work on stress-reduction, and hope that the symptoms start to become less and less over time. Thanks so much for doing what you do. Your podcast has been an absolute life-saver and continues to help me through some very dark times.    LaSandra: Hello, Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for your commitment to helping everyone you possibly can. Your health recovery story is such an inspiration to me! I'm writing to get your advice about Meniere's Disease. For an entire year, I suffered from daily migraines and vertigo. I saw a naturopath who suspected that the root cause was extreme adrenal fatigue as I had undergone a 10 month span of extreme stress just before the vertigo started. I have since been able to manage my migraines better through stress reduction, dietary changes and acupuncture. However, I have occasional bouts of vertigo that seem more Meniere's in nature. I get debilitating vertigo with hearing loss and tinnitus in my right area. The episode lasts a day or so, and then I recover completely which is very different from the ongoing milder vertigo I experienced with migraines. It seems that western medicine doesn't have much to offer when it comes to vestibular issues. I would love any advice you have as the general attitude about Meniere's seems to be that you can't treat it or control it (aside from reducing sodium intake) and just have to hope for the best, but you'll likely go completely deaf. I should also mention that I have Celiac and have had chronic IBS for many, many years. I just finished doing your Food Sensitivities/Candida test and am looking forward to healing my gut with the help of your team. I do believe that my gut health is related and possibly is the key to fixing this. Your story and podcasts give me hope that I can affect change and be healthy. Thank you so much for your help!    Cara:  Hi Dr. Stephen Cabral, I have a 21 month old daughter who I am still nursing (during the day only) and she eats a nutrient dense diet. She typically starts off with a scrambled egg, avocado and fruit. Lunch is usually leftovers. Dinner is wild salmon, grassfed bison/beef, free range chicken and broccoli and sweet potatoes. I give her Klaire labs infant probiotic mixed with a dash of camu camu and some drops of Herb Pharm kids echinacea daily. I got into the habit of giving her echinacea when I was boosting her immune system before traveling on a plane. I also give her the Herb Pharm Kids elderberry occasionally. Is this ok? Can the echinacea be overdone? Additionally, she was born at 36 weeks 2 days albeit a life saving crash cesarean ...we had major blood loss, she received two blood transfusions, she was incubated and taken via ambulance to a children's hospital where she was cooled to 91 degrees for 72 hours. Which prevented stroke, seizure, cerebral palsy etc. She is perfect but she was low in iron at 10 months - I fixed that with food - combinging iron rich foods, grassfed liver, beef, bison with camu camu, molasses and at the end floravital. We raised it from 8.6 to 13.3 in 3 months and without medicine! Does she also need a multi Vitamin soon? THANK YOU for your work and house calls!!   Jamie: Hey Dr. Cabral! For a while now I've been having issues drinking tea(green, black and Mate). Even when drinking it after a meal I still get bloating, heart burn, belching and brain fog. But Coffee I have no issues with. Although I used to never have an issue with tea I found out after testing that I have Sibo and H. Pylori. I'm on the CBO protocol for it and although I took a break from drinking tea, I read that black and green tea have compounds that are good against fighting H. Pylori but when I tried to re-introduce them the symptoms came right back. Also I'm pretty sure that from all these gut issues I have developed a histamine intolerance. Will I be able to drink tea again? If so, how long should I wait before I re-introduce. Thanks!!!!   Sara: Hello, I'm hoping to tap into your wealth of health knowledge to help my son. He is a commercial airline pilot. He gets sick with cold-like symptoms quite often. What is a good health kit he could travel with so he's armed when he begins to feel the sinus, ear and nasal congestion creeping up on him? He usually comes down with strep once a year as well as the cold symptoms I listed above even more often. Maybe a daily immune boosting protocol would be in order too. Thanks so much! God bless you.

543: Discover the 6 Phases of Toxicity (TWT)

Homotoxicology is an almost unheard of system of medicine, but it's been practiced for over 100 years... Even some of the best integrative doctors in the world are unaware of the "6 phases of toxicity" and how they account for every imaginable "disease" we've named... I was fortunate enough to learn it while studying Naturopathy and then later becoming certified in this form of medicine... I consider it to be a cornerstone of helping people get well - Because if you don't know how the "disease" got there in the first place you certainly can't help someone reverse it...

541: 23andMe, HealthCoach Question, Low Libido, Recurring UTI, Eye Health, Rebuild the Body (HouseCall)

Thank you for tuning back into our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend where we're answering more of our community's questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging! Here are today's Q&A topics:   Larissa: Hi, I've already tested my DNA through 23andMe. I was wondering if you or your clinic would interpret the raw data that I already have and offer diet/lifestyle recommendations from that. I carry one APOE-ε3 allele and one APOE-ε4 allele. I was wondering if that means a Ketogenic diet (high in healthy fats) would be beneficial or maybe not at all. I've already experimented with Paleo (but I think I was consuming too much meat over all) and that, (in addition to a high stress lifestyle) led to leaky gut, parasites, and bacterial imbalances (IBS symptoms). I experimented with Gluten Free Veganism and consumed a lot of high carb veggies, potatoes, beans, and rice. After doing a parasite cleanse, I did an Organix Acid test and it said I wasn't processing all the carbs. So I think I was over doing it on the carbs and maybe should live a more middle road approach. I'm on the mends from healing my gut finally but was wondering what the best diet would be for me moving forward once I'm healed. Thank you! I really enjoy listening to your podcasts! :)    Catherine: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently graduated as a certified Integrative Health Coach from IIN. One of my first clients is a mysterious case. He says when he was born he came out all black and blue and from that moment till about 20 he was prescribed massive amounts of antibiotics. He was recently diagnosed with Squamous cell carcinoma and had a huge cyst removed from his back. He now says they diagnosed Cellulitis for many gaping wounds on his legs. Now here's the kicker...he works at a health food store and has gone through every protocol to kill this bacteria that is causing severe inflammation. He says he has taken all the probiotics like Syntol, CBD oil, silver, oil of oregano etc. You name it he's done it. He is a hard core Paleo follower only eating organic grass fed beef, lots of fruit and veggies and no processed food. I think he should lean more plant based, and address his Primary Food, like the lack of support system and finances and spirituality. Maybe hypnosis or visualization. I know you had major issues with rebuilding your body after all those antibiotics and I told him you could be a real asset in finding the solution to his underlying fungus issues. I look forward to listening to your podcast every day. You are amazing and one day I would love to collaborate as one of your health coaches to help you bring your practice to the masses. Your work truly has a ripple effect that reaches and is helping to heal the world. Thanks and God bless, Catherine Ps- I am now using a the same PEMF technology that NASA uses in hopes of improving his micro circulation so the body can begin to heal itself. If you are interested please feel free to reach out.    Adriana: Hi Dr. Cabral! My question is regarding my boyfriend, we´ve been dating for four years now and I have to say that sex WAS amazing for the first three years and a frustration over the last year since we moved together, he has very low libido so we have sex once a month and sometimes not even once!! He is 32 years old and lifts weights 3-4 times a week, he participated in body building competitions when he was 16-18 years old and did very strict diets back then, his brother had thyroid nodules and I´m wondering if his low libido has something to do with something physical, maybe adrenal fatigue or thyroid issues (I listened a podcast of yours regarding this). One more thing, he told me it´s been a pattern since he started having sex, his libido is totally fine for no more than two years, after that time it disappears and his old girlfriends with it. He thinks it might be something psychological and has started seeing a therapist but I insist it might be something else. Thanks sooooo much for your help!! Adriana   Flor: I keep having reoccurring UTI's. I've been to my primary doctor several times and they keep prescribing antibiotics. The pain is so bad sometimes I can't walk, i want out of this cycles. Where do you suggest I start?   Tennille: Hi Stephen, appreciate what you do each day. amazing that you are helping make a difference. listening from Trinidad and Tobago each day. straight to my question. how to improve eye health? i have recently taken meat out of my diet and noticed my vision has become a little blurred. (so maybe lacking minerals) i am only 24 years old, maintain a whole foods diet, exercise 3-5 times per week. any suggestions?    Kellie: Hello Dr. Cabral- I started listening to your podcasts about 4-5 months ago and I have to say you really turn much of what we know on its head. I could be asking one of a million questions pertaining to myself or my immediate family members but have finally decided what I want to ask. My 20 y/o daughter has had a very unhealthy year. Lots of upper respiratory infections that didn't quit,cystic ovaries( discovered from painful periods that sidelined her for at least the first day) UTI's; strep; Bronchitis; general malaise- culminating with a Bells Palsy in April and now Erythema Nodosum( which is extremely painful). She has taken on a Vegan diet about 2 years ago- however I have to caveat- she is an extremely picky eater. Potatoes, salad, broccoli, cucumber rolls , pizza with no cheese and Pho comprise the bulk of her diet. Occassionally a fruit smoothie. Fats/ oils actually make her feel physically sick. Lots of OCD like tendencies specific to expiration dates on foods. If we are approaching a date- 3-4 days out; cannot eat. She has seen a neurologist for the Bells - which she had a pretty full recovery. Once in a great while you can see her eyes blink at a slightly different rate. Her GYN prescribes birth control to regulate her hormonal imbalance- evidently she was way out of wack and her periods are 100% improved. She saw a functional doc who did a blood work up and discovered she had extremely low D, iron and B12- she is taking supplements for those. In listening to your podcasts I believe she is a prime example of what you call epi-genetics. I believe something I. Her environment maybe her poor diet flipped a switch. She is seeing a rheumatologist next week to try and figure out why this Erythema Nodosum has come about. Researching that is definitely mind boggling. Could be nothing could be precursor to something very serious. Lastly she is also prone to high anxiety. Because she is young I am hoping everything can be fixed but am more than concerned these things are happening. I think she might have been a classic adrenal fatigue candidate. The functional labs included Cortisol and it was 3.6. Last summer she did work 2 jobs about 60+ hrs a week on her feet. Went straight to second year of college and well- we all know that lifestyle is not always the most conducive to good health. By March she had nothing left - zero energy, lack of desire to try. Than came BP and it's a miracle she didn't drop out of school. What are you thinking? Where does she even begin? I know there is no magic bullet but truly at a loss. Ps- lots of labs over the year. Tested negative for Lyme, HIV, mono, Epstein Barr etc. thank you for all you do. Can't wait for your book to come out. TIA.   I hope you had a great weekend and be sure to join us on tomorrow's Motivation & Mindset Monday show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/541 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

540: Sauna Question, Natural Sunscreen Recipe, Folliculitis, Corn Allergy, Heavy Metal Detox, Toothpaste Recommendation, Wrong Diet for BodyType (HouseCall)

Welcome to this weekend's Cabral HouseCall show! I'm looking forward to seeing what we have this week for questions from our community, so let's get started! Carol: Hi Dr. Cabral, You talk about the benefits of dry saunas, but our gym has a steam bath. Is Steam as good as dry heat; please explain the differences! Thanks for all you do! Carol   Saralyn: I own an asphalt company and we burn through the sunscreen, literally! I would love the recipe that you talked about on this podcast!    Anonymous: Hello, Thank you for the hope you offer us through the sharing of your knowledge! My question is regarding Folliculitis. My husband battles this once or twice a year on his thighs. It typically happens when he works in hot wx wearing jeans. Is there an alternative to using an RX to treat this? Thank you, Anonymous   Lauren: Hi! Thank you for everything you do, my family and I love to sit around and discuss what you've taught us! I just got back the results of my food sensitivity test, and it says I need to avoid corn. I am wondering if that includes popcorn? It's my favorite snack and I can't help but wonder if the fact that it is dried could alter the danger of it. Thanks for helping a fearful corn-lover out!   Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have two questions. Whenever I eat any grains, I feel tired, bloated, my nose gets stuffed up and I sometimes even get moody and I feel like it gets worse every time I try a little here and there. I've also had two root canals and recently all my old amalgam fillings removed except one small one. I feel like there is a lot of toxic build up in my body as a result. What would you recommend for a heavy metal and deep cell detox? I've heard you talk a little about removing toxins in the home as well and I am wondered if you have a list of brand names you trust in your own home or natural homemade recommendations for replacing things like dish soap, laundry detergent, household cleaners, shampoo/conditioner, makeup, etc. with safer products? Love your podcast and am so grateful for all you do! Thank you!    Jodi: You recommended two different toothpastes; Jason's and Lucky's. Do you have a preference?    Stacie: I'm a 45 year old 135 5'8 female. I don't know where to start. I have symptoms for histamine intolerance, Mthfr, and leaky gut. I do feel like mybstints doing GAPS has helped my histamine tolerance to some degree. I have been Paleo and GF for 4+ years, I tend to stay quite low carb high fat(rarely going over 60 carbs) i eat all organic, grass fed meats and fats. Most days I do intermittent fasting. I am an ectomorph and have been doing crossfit 4+ years. I tend to be more strict on calories and carbs when I can't do crossfit due to injury ( which is my current situation) I am an excessive all or nothing, high stress person. I do drink wine ( I go through phases where I will have several glasses a night) and coffee (trying to quit the caffeine). For the last few years i have battled ligament after ligament injury. I have torn both acls (1 just a month ago), Achilles, plantar facitis, shin splints and currently tendonitis on both elbows. I am quite sure I am drastically deficient in minerals, specifically magnesium. I also wonder what hormone issues I have as I did 3 years of IVF and fertility treatments (failed- ended up adopting). Long story, what tests and protocols do you suggest and in what order? What do you suggest I do with diet? Thank you for your amazing podcast!! Just found it and I'm hooked!   Stacie: Forgot to also mention that joints always hurt and low energy throughout day. Also, my daughter (adopted at 2 1/2 from China )who is almost 8 has asthma and myriad of skin issues. Most skin issues are better since GF abut still has atheletes foot, sweaty hands, asthma - what do you recommend for her? THank you!! Thank you for tuning into today's HouseCall and be sure to join us tomorrow for Part 2! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/540 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

535: When to Take a Break from Life (MM)

534: Weight Loss Testing, Food Sensitivity Reliability, SIBO vs. H. Pylori, Pregnancy Protocol, Low Stomach Acid, Combining Supplements, Supplement Add-Ons (HouseCall)

We're back with day 2 of the Cabral HouseCall and I'm looking forward to sharing with you some brand new questions that have come in over the past few weeks! Let's get started with today's Q&A! Jennett: Hello Dr. Cabral, I sent you a message about a week ago asking about why Im having a hard time losing some weight around my hips, legs and why I cannot get rid of my cellulite on the front and back side of my thighs. I realized I hadn't told you much about my body type and thought it might help in order for you to have a better idea of what might be going on. I am in my early 40's and weigh around 135 but I seem to have more fat than muscle tone and Ive always battled cellulite and estrogen dominance. I went to a natrapathic doctor when I received the estrogen dominance diagnosis and he put me on some supplements that balanced me out and that was about two years ago but I notice I do have extra weight on my thighs and butt as well as a little on my stomach (muffin top) I definitely don't have all the symptoms I had such as low thyroid, constant heart palpitations, night sweats, adrenal fatigue, etc. Though I still experience a few symptoms like breakouts when I drink coffee more than a couple times a week, I don't sleep through the night or feel rested when I wake and as soon as I lay down, my nose gets stuffy and I have little to no sex drive. I'm a mesomorph, pear shape body type and type O blood so I don't know if what I eat plays into any of that and with so many diets out there. its overwhelming to know where to start. Thank you for all of your help!! I am so grateful for what you do! Jen   Anonymous: Hi, I recently did your SIBO & Candida protocol with fantastic results. I'm now one month into your gut healing products and suddenly I'm experiencing the severe stomach bloat again. I'm considering your food sensitivity test but there's so much information from various trusted resources that these types of tests aren't reliable. I've done many elimination diets and just can't seem to get conclusive results. Is there something unique about your food sensitivity test that makes it reliable? As a side note I also just submitted my labs for your thyroid test. Thank you so much for your help!    Anonymous: Hello again! I seem to have many upper GI issues: reflux, indigestion, nausea, upper GI pain that when bad enough I vomit. This vomiting is usually brought on by large amounts of food or multiple types of food in one sitting. I also have gas, belching, bloating, but no issues with constipation or diarrhea. Blood and breath test ruled out h.pylori and Stool test ruled out parasites. According to your TWT shows on leaky gut, the only culprit left is SIBO. With most of my issues located in my upper abdominal region, does it mean the bacterial overgrowth is mostly in my upper GI, possibly stomach? Or could it be gallbladder issues? I'm seeing a naturopath and she put me on the GI pathogen purge from systemic formulas but also gave me 500 billion CFU probiotic packets with many different stains that I took for the first week during the pathogen purge. I understand that this is something that many practitioners tend to do but shouldn't. Could that possibly be why my SIBO seemed to clear up but 3 months later I'm getting these symptoms all over again. Thanks for your help, you are amazing and I deeply appreciate your passion to help everyone you can.    Tracey: I am 4 months pregnant. I just listened to your pregnancy podcast. What daily protocol should I be taking. Thanks for your help.    Anonymous: Hi Stephen, could you do a podcast on low stomach acid and how best to heal it? I have read how it causes all these other problems that I have been dealing with; dry skin, adrenal fatigue, autoimmune (hypothyroid)... I drink a glass of lemon water most mornings and it almost instantly makes my stomach feel more settled but other than that and maybe taking digestive enzymes before meals (could you recommend a good one?) is there anything else that can significantly help? and how long should it approximately take for this to heal? Thanks for your awesomeness :)   Lindsey: Hello, I had a question about two specialty supplements that I wanted to purchase. I recently heard Dr. Cabral's podcast pertaining to how to heal a leaky gut. I decided I wanted to complete his entire protocol to heal any problems I may have with my microbiome. From what I understand, his program starts with wiping out first the H. Pylori, parasites, yeast and bacteria, and then begin repairing and replenishing with his daily gut repair supplements and daily probiotics. So my question is, can I use the healthy belly supplement to wipe out h. Pylori and the parasite protocol supplements at the same time? Or must they be done separately? Thank you, Lindsey   Lindsey: Hi Stephen, I am writing back as I feel I have received different responses by yourself and the support group and I want to try and clear things up. I have the candida protocol at home ready to start, I wrote in a week ago regarding if I could continue my supplements as I have recently been through some lab testing for my hormones and I have been put on the below; Douglas Labs Ultra Preventive III w/ copper Douglas Labs B-Complex - Douglas Labs DHEA 25mg - Douglas Labs Glutathione Plus - Douglas Labs Zinc Picolinate (50mg) - Douglas Labs Ultra I-3-C - The support email I contacted say absolutely no supplements can be taken whilst doing the protocol, however you on the house call said all was fine to take. The reason I ask for example there are foods to avoid like cauliflower on the list when doing the 12 week plan but it is in the I3C and daily fruit and veg blend I want to continue. I also want to continue with maca powder, acai, flaxseed, etc? Please can you clarify before i begin? I am sorry for writing in again but I am sure but you appreciate that with the money and effort that goes into these protocols I want to make sure I do it right. I'm excited to get started. Thanks!!\ Thank you for tuning into day's Q&A and I hope you enjoyed all the tips added in along the way! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/534 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

533: Sugar Addict, Grill Mats, Parasite vs. Candida Cleanse Order, Post-Natal Exercise, Travel Stomach Sickness (HouseCall)

Welcome to day 1 of the Cabral HouseCalls! As always we have some amazing questions that have come in from our community and we're going to cover so much related to wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging, so let's get started! Here are today's questions: Sabreena: Hi Dr.Cabral, can't thank you enough for sharing your wealth of knowledge with all of us listeners. Your podcast is so valuable! Over the past year i have been getting frequent UTI symptoms that will pop up and then go away within a few hours. (drinking alkaline water often contributed to the frequency) i am mostly plant based and health conscious, but i didn't think much of it until i started to see small red and dry spots showing up on my skin!!! it led me to connect the clues! i was on birth control for 10 years and recently got off and definitely have some of the symptoms often attributed to an unhealthy gut or unbalanced microflora. my friends tell me not to self diagnose but i have come to realize that i may have a yeast or candida overgrowth?! i am going to get your candida protocol but i wanted to check and get your input before i made the big purchase. thank you so much for giving all your listeners the hope we need to get through these health battles big and small! can't wait to get your feedback.     Derek: Hi Dr. Cabral. I've been watching your podcasts for a while now and they've been really informative both for myself and helping others. I've been doing a lot of research and studying on enlarged pores as it's still something I'm struggling with. Protein absorption, clay masks, collagen protein, and overall digestive health are all things that I believe can help, but I feel like I'm still missing something. Am I on the right track? Is there anything else you would recommend? Thank you!   Stephanie: Hello! I have been an avid disciple of yours for several years now! So whenever I hear something that seems a little off or strange, I come to you first. A dear friend of mine is seeing a nutritionist that I recommended to her based on my personal experiences. I had an IgG blood test performed by this nutritionist who also helped me with a Magnesium and Vitamin D deficiency. They have been working together for a year now and the nutritionist told my friend not to bother to work out. She said that my friend does not produce testosterone, therefore cannot build muscle, which is why she cannot lose weight. She told her not to bother to lift weights because she has such little testosterone that she's essentially wasting her time. I am a trained health coach and like you I am constantly reading books, medical journals, etc., and found her comment to be very strange. I was taught that lifting weights was actually a natural way to build testosterone, but my friend says the nutritionist has her taking a cream instead. In the year they've been working together my friend has actually gained 10 lbs and is more miserable than before. She had an IgG blood test and avoids the foods that cause her inflammation. She also has Candida and has admitted that she's not been really great with treating that (she's a bonified sugar addict). I am just wondering if the nutritionist is correct, or if she's just trying to keep my friend coming in for the $150 a month office visit (she's also a chiropractor) and the large profit margins on her supplements, or if there is any truth to her statment? Your thoughts?    Michelle: Hello again Dr. Cabral! You continue to amaze me with all of your knowledge and thank you so much for sharing it so selflessly! We all appreciate it more than you know. I'm not sure if you have seen this product but wanted your thoughts on it -- the Pocco Grill Mat. It's used to "protect" your food on the grill or smoker but I would use it more as a way to cook smaller items, like vegetables without them falling through. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks as always and stay well, Michelle    Julie: Hi, I'm looking to purchase The Parasite Clease and Candida & Bacterial overgrowth Protocols then follow with The Healthy Gut Support! :) My questions are... Can the Parasite Cleanse and Candida Protocol be done at the same time? I have Graves disease with a Total Thyroidectomy, currrently on NDT and T3 mediation, I'm also trying to address a fatty Liver, Iow Iron, Adrenal issues ect... Will these products have any adverse effects? Many Thanks Julie    Lene: Hi, I just started listening to your podcast all the way from Norway, and I especially enjoy the mindset and motivation ones. As a matter of fact I just got twins three moths ago, and I listen to you podcast whenever we are out on a stroll. I cant see that you have covered these topics before, but I might just have missed it. I know this is a topic only relevant to half the population, but I still would appreciate it! So, I was only pregnant for 7 months before they decided to arrive with c-section. During my whole pregnancy I struggled with pelvic girdle pain, but this is gone now. Except from this the pregnancy was normal, and I didnt gain more than 5 kilos. After however, living at the hospital for a month, I ate only processed foods, and all around the clock, so I am now 80 kg and 165 cm. As many others I am eager to come back in shape. I used to exercise two-three times a week, and I had a relatively healthy lifestyle. However, I have the tendency to be jo-jo dieter (always in attempt to change my lifestyle, by eating less and training more (mostly free weights at gym). To put it this way: It wasnt a bad-bad lifestyle, and I wasnt in bad shape, but I guess I was over eating sometimes, and I just wanted to get to the next level. No fitness contest type of thing you know, but just feeling good in a bikini without holding my stomack in. I have decided this time to be more active in my everyday life. I am out with the babies every day for a two hour stroll, always wearing gym clothes and carrying all the gear/stroller four flights of stears. And I LOVE it! To me pregnancy felt like a prison and I must say I dont remember it as a nice experience, even though I am SO happy with the product! I dont expect to get fit over night. You focus a lot on routines (and that has opened my eyes - I wish I had heard your podcast before), but as you know this is hard with small kids, especially with twins I guess (In Norway we are blessed with a great health system, so I am of work with pay for a year). I dont sleep much, I dont have regular meals. I was hoping you would talk about this: How does one start out again after pregnancy to get in shape? When can one really start to lift weights again after a c-section? What foods should you choose and what especially does the body need in this period of post surgery and little sleep? Also, I have hired a personal trainer for ten hours to come - when would be the best time to start these meetings to get the most out of them? Should I wait until I get well enough to really do a hard work out? Finally: Thank you for sharing your advice and experience on your podcast! I am sorry for the long letter, I am not good at keeping it short :)   Ross: Hi Stephen, I have recently returned from vacation in Italy and while away I picked up a stomach virus which resulted in me having diarrhoea, it has been 10 days since and I am slowly returning to fitness. I would consider myself to follow a relatively healthy diet and fitness regime but I am regularly ill when I travel, both vacation and work, within the last 12 months I have been ill at least 3 times (sickness/diarrhoea). I think this is not helped by difficulty in eating like I do when at home. My fiancée Lisa regularly listens to your show and suggested that I write in and see what you suggest by way of tests / protocols. I am very keen to solve this so that I can travel normally. Thank you for tuning into today's Q&A and be sure to check back tomorrow as we cover day 2 of our community questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/533 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

531: How to Flush Out Inflammation & Sore Muscles (TT)

Eventually you're going to hit your limit... We all do, and when that happens our body becomes inflamed, sore, and run down... Although this can be caused by a toxic environment, eating the wrong foods, stress, pharmaceutical drugs, or some other reason, the easiest example to see of inflammation overload is when we workout... Although exercise is essential for a healthy, strong functioning body, it still does create tissue breakdown and inflammation... However, how we deal with that inflammation is the key to feeling energized versus exhausted...

530: How to Cure Constipation (WW)

There are some health issues that most people don't like to discuss... They get a little shy talking about them. But, if you don't share everything with your holistic doctor or health coach, they can't fully help you solve your current imbalances... This is why I ask everyone I see in my practice if they are having at least 1 healthy, unforced, bowel movement per day... If this isn't happening, the likelihood of getting completely well or losing the weight is low... There are many reasons why I say this, but simply put your 28 feet of digestive tract holds the key to your long-term health and if it isn't functioning optimally it's going to affect every other system in your body...

527: Binge Eating, Cancer Markers, Cleansing While Pregnant, Gut Rebuilding Order, Auto-Immune Thyroid, Where to Start (HouseCall)

Thank you for checking back in for our 2nd #CabralConcept of the weekend! We'll be answering more of our community's questions today, so let's get started: Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral, I would like to start by thanking you for everything that you do! Your daily podcasts have changed my health and life in many ways and a simple thank you just isn't enough. My question is regarding my inability to find balance. I have a very binge-like lifestyle. I can be dedicated to 21 days of only low glycemic foods while following the Dr. Cabral Detox meal plan. I also stay active with a balanced workout plan, and many other nutrition tips and staples you have suggested. BUT THEN... a holiday will come about or I find myself in a situation where I can not stop eating deliciously poisonous foods (and drinking beer!!). I was wondering if you have any tips or tricks you have used with clients before that help them finally achieve a balanced lifestyle? Are there any systematic approaches you use like getting off of caffeine or any mindfulness hacks of some sort? Anything helps! Thank you   Lauren: Hi Steve, Unfortunately, My grandma a few months ago was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Being that it is such a terrible cancer that is hard to detect, can you please recommend which blood tests or biomarkers my father(her son) should be getting? I really want him to go to a functional doctor and get a variety of tests but, I was hoping for some direction. He works a very stressful non-stop job as a chef/owner and is very thin as he never takes a break even to eat at times throughout the day. Now with my grandma's cancer & the history of cancer in that side of the family, I want to make sure I stay on top of his health and figure out what he should get tested for to see if he carries that gene mutation etc. Lastly, where would one go for this kind of testing? We live in LI close to NYC Thank you!    Priscilla: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love listening to your podcasts and feel like each one has something applicable to me! My question is: I already know I have parasites, but I am 12 weeks pregnant and I know some of the herbs typically used to get rid of them are not safe during pregnancy. Is there anything I can do while I'm pregnant? I appreciate your suggestions and guidence so much. Thank you!    Gina: I would like to do the Healthy Belly, Parasite Cleanse Protocol and the Candida & Bacterial Complete Protocol. Can I do them all at once or do I need to start with Healthy Belly followed by Parasite Cleanse and lastly the Candida & Bacterial Complete Protocol? Thank you, Gina    Eva: Hello Dr. Cabral, I am studying holistic nutrition and your podcasts are inspiring to me! My question is: My recent check up showed I have very high Thyroglobulin Antibodies (421) and very high Thyroperoxidase Antibodies (186), although my TSH, T3 and T4 are within normal ranges. In addition my vitamin D and ferritin is low (I plan on starting supplements) and my Neutrophils are low. I also have inflammation (which manifests as heat and pain) in both my knuckles. Are any of these related? My doctor said they don't treat high thyroid antibodies since my thyroid hormones are normal, but I have been reading conflicting opinions. What would you suggest for me? (My diet is fairly healthy, I don't eat meat or dairy but I do eat gluten) Thank you soooo much Dr. Cabral I will continue to listen to your podcast religiously it has become my daily routine.   Claudia Keiran: Dear Dr. Cabral thank you so much for your wonderful work try to help folks in need like me. I was diagnosed with Thyroiditis ( Hashimotto) 2014. Spend money that I don't have I am a immigrant from Brasil and I am a house cleaner. So I did follow and buy products from differents folks that I this point is worthless to say names even though you may know all them. I understand and been very honest that we need to survive and use wellness and diseases for this purposes but I can't afford anymore. I heard you episode 515 about Athi Pilory ( don't know to write) bacteria and I need help a serious one, I can't sleep, losing my memory , work out, do yoga , eat clean, no dairy, no gluten, no sugar and I gain and lose weight and I lot of fatigue. I take vitamins, real live probiotics, magnesium, zinc, glucosamine, digestives enzymes, omega. I don't know what else I can do and don't get better. I agree with you about the bacteria if you don't kill won't get better. So do you think you really can help me?! Please answer me. Thank you so much . I appreciate all your work not only for me if we work together but for others too.   I hope you enjoyed today's show and be sure to check back in tomorrow for our Motivation & Mindset Monday! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/527 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

526: Hormone Balance, Green Tea Reaction, White Spots on Skin, Oxalates, Greens Reaction, Lab Choices (HouseCall)

Welcome to another weekend of the Cabral HouseCalls! I'm excited to share with you our community Q&A and many other tips we add in along the way... Here are today's questions: Asheley: Hi Dr. Cabral, I enjoy listening to your podcast. I am interested in purchasing a lab test, specifically the Hormone & Adrenal Package or the Organic Acids Test, or both and eventually other tests. I recently took a blood test and found out that I have mild anemia, and my thyroid is on the low side of normal. My menstrual cycle is very irregular. My period can last for about 2 weeks with a lot of spotting for days, and a few days of consistently heavy bleeding with clots. I have fibrocystic breasts, so I avoid caffeine when I can and the pain has diminished. I have skin problems as well including acne on my shoulders and back, hyperpigmentation from acne scars on my face, back, and shoulders, some eczema between my fingers, and an occasional boil/carbuncle on my back. I have considered the gaps diet but I don't know where to start. It seems difficult to start and maintain a gaps diet. My CBC lab results are: WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT - My Value: 6.7 Thousand/uL Standard Range: 3.8 ‐ 10.8 Thousand/uL RBC - My Value: 4.23 Million/uL Standard Range: 3.80 ‐ 5.10 Million/uL Hemoglobin - My Value: 11.1 g/dL Standard Range: 11.7 ‐ 15.5 g/dL (My Hemoglobin value is slightly low) Hematocrit - My Value: 35.6 % Standard Range: 35.0 ‐ 45.0 % MCV - My Value: 84.2 fL Standard Range: 80.0 ‐ 100.0 fL MCH - My Value: 26.2 pg Standard Range: 27.0 ‐ 33.0 pg (My MCH value is Low) MCHC - My Value: 31.2 g/dL Standard Range: 32.0 ‐ 36.0 g/dL (My MCHC is Low) RDW - My Value: 14.0 % Standard Range: 11.0 ‐ 15.0 % Platelets - My Value: 216 Thousand/uL Standard Range: 140 ‐ 400 Thousand/uL MPV - My Value: 12.8 fL Standard Range: 7.5 ‐ 12.5 fL My TSH Results: TSH, 3RD GENERATION 1.58 mIU/L mIU/L Reference Range > or = 20 Years 0.40‐4.50 I am a 25(almost 26) year old female and I am not pregnant. My Free T4 Results are: Free T4 - My Value: 0.9 ng/dL Standard Range: 0.8 ‐ 1.8 ng/dL From my symptoms and lab results I know I have mild anemia, and I probably have estrogen dominance or hormonal imbalance and candida overgrowth or imbalanced gut flora. My questions are: Which lab test should I order first? For the Hormone and Adrenal test, when do I take the test? My menstrual cycle is so irregular that I do not know consistently when is 5-7 days before Day 1 of my Cycle. Can I just take it any day that I am not on my period? What foods and supplements do you suggest for balancing my hormones? Thank you for your help     Lizbeth: Hi, I've noticed that my body reacts negatively to green tea with stomach cramps, constipation, inflammation etc. Do you know why this is possible, and what can I replace green tea with? I'm trying to stay away from coffee. Plus, I've heard all of the good properties it has, but my body seems to hate me when I use it. Thank you for all the information you are providing. I've learned so much, and I'm still learning much more from you. I'm even listening to all your old podcasts from the beginning! Thank you, thank you thank you!!!!     Thomas: Hello Dr. Cabral Love your show. As I get into my 40's I have noticed more and more white spots on my skin popping up. Especially on the arms. Is there anything that can be done about that or is it just what happens as you get older? Can it be reversed? Thanks    Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, What is your opinion on oxolates and the excessive consumption of dark, leafy greens? My diet is heavy with the daily consumption of green smoothies and juices, and salads with bitter greens, and cooked greens. Is this something that should be concerning? Also, what is your opinion on alkaloids? I rotate my greens weekly to avoid over consumption. Should this be concerning, as well? Many thanks!    Bettina: Hi, Thanks for all your amazing help. I did your 21 day detox about a month ago and it was life changing. I thought I was healthy before doing it so didn't know what to expect, and you exceeded my expectations. My body has even more energy and my brain seems so much clearer. So to continue this amazing feeling I now do your shake in the morning and the greens powder too. But I am experiencing a problem that really needs some help. I've been taking the greens powder and shake every morning for the last 3 weeks. About 2 weeks ago I started having horrible gas problems. I know its not the shake because I never had that while on the detox. Previous to the detox I ate a very plant based diet and eat no gluten. One of the things I did find amazing since going off gluten a couple of years ago and sticking to a plant based (with protein at night) diet was how little gas I created. But now it was returned to the point that the smell is waking me up at night (and unfortunately my husband too). I find that legumes give me gas too so I never do them, now or prior to the detox. I so want to continue taking the greens powder but do you think maybe it's tipped me over in the amount of vegetables I'm consuming? I have been having loose stools too since taking it. Please let me know what I should do. I haven't been taking a probiotic but do eat fermented vegetables regularly. Do you think that could help. thanks,     Annie: Hi Dr Cabral! I have been on a health journey for a little over a year now and although I have seen improvements, I still have some chronic issues that I’d love to get your thoughts on bc I seem to be plateaued & although I'm in a better place, I'm not symptom free. A little background, just so you know what I have already addressed. I have run multiple CBCs and urine metabolite tests. I was very estrogen dominant and had high cortisol due to over training, but both have been balanced since. Chronic issues in my CBC – high glucose (95), high LDL cholesterol (142) and low HDL (56), high total protein (7.6), high globulin (4), low Alkaline Phosphatase (35), low LDH (70), low hemoglobin (13), MCV (90), RDW (13). Sorry for the overkill with data, but I have been running blood labs for a year every 3 months and these are the standard issues I’m seeing, regardless of supplement intervention. Apart from the numbers, I have physical symptoms that are driving my search still. I have skin issues – acne, melasma, and the backs of my arms are flushed, slightly bumpy. I have a little bit of stubborn belly fat and some digestive discomfort still, even when eating to the Sensitive Gut protocol. I am on week 9 of the Yeast & Bacteria Cleanse and have seen decrease in bloating and some belly fat, but not sure SIBO/Candida is 100% my problem. My belly gurgles and almost always have a little bit of gas after I eat a full meal. I have regular, healthy bowel movements, 1-2 daily. I’ve stuck to the program, so I’ve been gluten, dairy & sugar free for over two months now. I’ve done the 7 day detox and have added detox efforts to my lifestyle. I have cleaned up the products in my home, eat organic whenever possible. I’m almost to the point of accepting and appreciating my health for what it is, because in all honesty, I have much to be grateful for, but I still feel like I haven’t hit the nail on the head just yet. I plan to run your Organic Acids Test when I’m through with the gut protocol. I’m also curious about EBV (I had mono in high school but don’t really have any chronic symptoms), parasites & food sensitivities. Do you think any of my symptoms warrant a different test? Thanks so much for all that you do for our community. You are a mentor to all of us without ever meeting us, and I’m so grateful for the influence you have in my life.

524: How 19 Minutes of This Reduces All Causes of Death by 40% (New Research) (TT)

If a drug were ever created that could reduce hearts by 60+% and any cause of death by 40%, every human would be taking it... It would literally be the first 10 trillion dollar drug and be given out like a multi-vitamin to take daily... The interesting thing is that this "drug" already does exist and a large-scale study was done over 2 years ago proving its efficacy, but I believe it's been kept under wraps for a number of reasons... One of those reasons being that you don't need to go to your doctor for a prescription and it's actually a form of natural detoxification that only takes 19 minutes per day to produce those remarkable life-saving results... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 524 for all the research, details, and how you can reap these same benefits in your life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Noted & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/524 - - - Get Your Questions Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

523: The "One Day Reset" Diet Explained (WW)

Let's face it, you're going to go out with friends, family, co-workers, or on a holiday and eat a few foods and drinks that maybe aren't the healthiest... You know that they're not the best choices, but part of life is also enjoying a few meals out with good people and letting loose... I lean more towards the belief that you'd actually be unhealthier not doing this... And because of this, I created something my private clients have been calling the "One Day Reset" diet. It essentially resets your body to the previous levels of healthy inflammation, blood sugar, hormones, etc.  Tune into today's #CabralConcept 523 where I explain the entire One Day Reset Diet and how you can download it for free today - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/523 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

522: Getting Pregnant & Having a Healthy Happy Pregnancy (Pre, Peri & PostNatal Recommendations) (TWT)

Many people don't know this, but in ancient times (and still some places it's still practiced today) there was always a specific pre, peri, and postnatal plan. The prenatal plan focused on preparing the woman's (and man's) body for conception, while the perinatal prescription was comprised of healthy living, eating, and other recommendations while pregnant... And finally, detailed postnatal recommendations were given to ensure a healthy mom and baby after the birth... These measures included detoxification protocols, rest, specific foods to eat, and much more. And, on today's #CabralConcept 522 we explore these fertility issues, as well as how to have the healthiest pregnancy possible - enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/522 - - - Get Your Questions Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

521: Why You Don't Need the Approval of Others (MM)

I know it's easier said than done, but if you ever plan to be truly happy in life you're going to have to follow this time-tested advice... While there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting others to like you, want to hang around with you, or think highly of you, it's important that it's for the right reasons... You want to make sure that when others want to spend more time with you that it's because they enjoy being around the genuine YOU... Remember, you can only fake it for so long before inside you start to become down, depressed, or feel like life has no meaning... On today's #CabralConcept 521 we explore this topic of why you don't need the approval of others if you want to have a happy healthy life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/521 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

520: Missing Intestine, Food Poisoning, Outgrowing Food Allergies, Cellulite Suggestions, COMT - MTHFR Supplementation, Books to Read (HouseCall)

We're back with our 2nd HouseCall of the weekend and I'm excited to share this brand new Q&A with you... Let's get started! Monique: Hi Dr. Cabral! Ive been loving learning about my own health from you, following my plan and listening to this amazing podcast, but now I'm curious about my moms! She was diagnosed with Crohns Disease around 2010 and had her small intestine removed and part of her large as well. She was very skinny then, she was very sick. She currently eats one full meal a day and maybe something else small, and has since gained weight back and is now just slighty overweight. She drinks coffee every morning, she loves veggies but finds that it causes her to go to the bathroom too much and eats carbs like potatoes, pasta, and bread to make it so she holds her bowel movements (she used to have accidents often). She is b-12 deficient and gets the shots every month, she is also slightly anemic. She within a last few years has also grown a large hernia on her stomach. Just wondering what advice I could give her to start living healthier and happier! Thank you so much for everything you share with all of us! Monique   Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral, I would appreciate to pick your brain on a question I have. Unfortunately, I just had my 3rd round of food poisoning in the last 6 months. The first one was from oysters, second from sketchy Mexican food at the airport, and third from some hot bar wings. My stomach has seemed to get a bit more sensitive and I am wondering if you have any protocols to follow after you get food poisoning and or any wisdom around how to get my gut feeling stronger after all these rounds of food poisoning. Thanks, Michael   Lindsay: Hi, I'm just wondering if food sensitivities change? For example I did the IGG test a year ago. Would it always show the same sensitivities and if not, why would this change over time? Thanks    Jennett: Hi DR. Cabral, I have been working our regularly doing a DVD called Body pump three days a week and walking at least 30-60 minutes 5-7 days a week. I eat fruits, veg and grass fed beef and organic chicken and occasionally fish (usually salmon, cod or halibut) when I can find a good source. I do have a sweet tooth but try to keep that to a cheat day and then dark chocolate with 80% or higher and usually only a couple times a week. I do drink coffee. I recently purchased bulletproof coffee to see if that makes a difference. No matter what I do, I cant seem to get rid of the cellulite on the front and back of my thighs/butt. I feel like I'm missing something.I'm 42 and weigh 135lb so I'm not overweight but I also feel like I have more un-toned muscle and could lose 5-10lb. I've hear about Keto diet that helps train your body to burn its fat as fuel. Would you suggest this being a good lifestyle to try? Do you have any suggestions as to why I cant seem to rid the cellulite or is there a supplement that helps eliminate those deep cell toxins that actually work? Is my workout routine lacking? Thanks so much for your help!    Danny: Hi Dr. Carbral! I'm a 4th yr medical student and aspiring functional medicine doctor, I have learned so much from your podcast and love tuning in everyday! In short: I have 4 homozygous polymorphisms of COMT, for which (if I'm not mistaken) I should supplement hydroxy B12 and avoid methyl B12 & methyl folate. I also have a heterozygous polymorphism of MTHFR (C677T) for which I should take methyl B12 & methyl folate. It seems like what is therapeutic for one problem is toxic for the other and vice versa. Hence my question, what should I do? Will supplementing with both hydroxy and methyl B12 'counteract' each other like 2 horses running in opposite directions? I also recently did your organic acids test and had a follow up call with Caitlin, which was really helpful! On my OAT, my quinolinic/serotonin ratio was high (9.0), and we concluded that this was due to low serotonin (.08) as my quinolinic level was .72. I know MTHFR is involved in the synthesis of serotonin (via tryptophan), could the lower serotonin level be due to this MTHFR mutation? I know this is pretty detailed stuff but I'm hope there are other ppl out there with both COMT and MTHFR polymorphisms who have had similar questions. Really appreciate you taking time to do these house calls and for the awesome podcast! Best, Danny    Deborah: Dr. Cabral, You are the coolest. Thank you for sharing info about health and wellness that will have long term impact for people around the world and for generations. I am very interested in holistic nutrition and want to begin the journey of becoming a nutritionist and figure out what I want to specialize in. Do you have any good books to get started with reading for that field? If you have any good starter books to get an idea of different specializations of natural health or natural health in general, I would appreciate it. Thank you.   Thank you for tuning in to another Cabral community Q&A and I look forward to chatting with you tomorrow on our Motivation & Monday show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/520 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

519: Always Sick, Detox Meal Plan, Detox Weight Loss, Low Testosterone, SIBO Struggles, Food Sensitivities (HouseCall)

Welcome back to the #CabralConcept and our weekend HouseCall shows! This weekend we have some fantastic questions and I did my best to answer each an every one of them! Monique: Being a wellness client of yours and seeing my own health transform makes me want to share that with me personal training clients, I just have a question for what you would recommend for one of my clients. My client is a women (24) who had surgery on her ear a few months ago, I believe something had burst in her ear or was about to, she was on bed rest for a couple weeks taking lots of antibiotics and other medications. She constantly gets sick when shes travels, I saw her this morning after flying out of state this weekend and she had said she lost her voice and couldn't breathe when she got off the plane, other times she has gotten a pneumonia. She is constantly stressed from full time school (which she just graduated so that stressor is gone for now) and full time managing a bank. We work on mediation and stretching, i've suggested natural calm before bed when she feels wired at night like she sometimes does. I see how this all connects from all i've learned from you, I just am not sure which protocol or test I should recommend to her and then what she can do moving forward! She also has been having trouble losing weight, she hasn't changed her diet very much (it is for the most part healthy) I was thinking about your ENT protocol, but again just want to see what your best recommendation is! Thank you for everything, love sharing what you've helped me with! Sharing all the knowledge with all my clients and everyone who talks to me about their health and just spreading the truth!   Johny: I noticed that part of the Dr. Cabral 7-Day Detox includes solid meals (not smoothies). I'm wondering if they are vegetarian, or if there is a vegetarian alternative? Thanks     Anon: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently completed your 7-Day Detox protocol. After the first two days, I lost about 4 lbs, but my weight went up about 1 lb after incorporating food into the plan. Overall, I lost about 3 lbs on the plan, and I followed the protocol exactly as outlined. I'm seeing a Naturopathic doctor for hormonal issues and mentioned that I would be completing your detox plan for 7 days, and really wanted to invest in the 21 day plan, but was concerned about the amount of associated weight loss, since I don't need to lose that much weight. They stated that 1) I should be on a longer protocol, as 7 days is not going to be enough to address any of my underlying issues, and 2) I won't lose that much weight, because I eat better than the average person (plant-based vegetarian, little to no dairy, low sugar and so forth) and that your detox is primarily targeted for people who are relatively unhealthy and eat a standard american diet, so their weight loss will be more substantial. I do have about 10 lbs of weight that I would like to lose, as I've gained this amount in the last 2 years and have plateaued with my weight (don't gain or lose much with diet and exercise). Also, I exercise 3-4x per week, doing strength training and vigorous yoga. What are your thoughts? Could this be hormonal or because my diet is "clean" already? I'll also mention that the meal plans that are outlined in your detox protocol are what I eat in a typical day, including green smoothies, more fruit, big salads, some carbs and the occasional processed food. Many thanks!     Adam: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been listening to your podcasts for about 6 months and can't say how grateful I am to you and your practice for all you've taught me. God bless you, your family and your practice and keep up the good work. My question is quite lengthy, so about 2.5 years ago I took a workout supplement called a pro-hormone(which was legal at the time) and that significantly increased my strength and size in my workouts, later I found out that this was basically a lower dose of legal steroids. I took this Throughout college about 3 times over the course of 3 years, each time being for about 1 month. I haven't taken anything of the sort in 2.5 years and recently about a year ago I got my blood tested and found my testosterone to be very low. I tested at 345 blood level testosterone serum in a range of 350/1100. I've been tested 3 times since August of 2016 and every test shows the same thing, low testosterone. I'm 27 and in great physical shape, I take your daily nutritional support, pro biotic, fish oil, berry smoothie every morning and vegetables at every meal along with organic/grass fed meat. I would say I have a very good diet. I excercise 5 times a week, have a low stress job/life and can't seem to understand why my body hasnt recovered. 2.5 months ago I did a tissue mineral analysis with my chiro, which indicated that a have low adrenal function and that my thyroid was being a little overworked. Since then I have been supplementing with Cataplex AC, Drenamin and Isagenix Ionic Supreme along with stretching/yoga 2-3 times per week, I still feel the same. I've been trying to fix this problem for over a year, I have very low sex drive and low energy at times and can find myself becoming depressed easier than I used too. Have you treated anyone in this situation before? Could I have caused permanent damage? Is there a natural fix or do you think I'll need to go on TRT at such a young age? What should I do, I want to live optimally and am ready to get this fixed. Thank you so much for your time, Adam.     Courtney: Hey Dr. Cabral! Long story short I have been dealing with sibo (methane dominant) for about a year now.. I have been on antibiotics and NOTHING seems to be working.. I have chronic bloating and discomfort whenever I eat anything…. I want to buy your candida protocol however im scared that it is not going to work like everything else I have tried.. I have spent so much money on medicines and doctor visit I just don’t want to try this and it fail for me.. If this does not work is there a money back guaranteed? I will do anything to stop bloating and be normal again.. Please help!  Janice: Can you please do an episode on benefits of black seed oil? Amanda: Im a holistic health practitioner and started my health journey about 3 years ago. Since then I have realized I have a sensitivity to gluten and dairy (often getting leaky gut even if I consume only a little) . I feel that as I go down this road of health, although I feel amazing, I feel very restricted in my habits, where my friends seem to eat the worst foods ever and don't have problems. Is this a natural cleansing process? Now that by body is so clean it cant tolerate the poisons I've been putting into it? Is there a reason why I react severely yet my friends seem to have no symptoms? Second topic is identifying resources: Where is the best place to get my information when I'm working on research to find the best information for my clients? I use nhbi often and try to look for medical studies, but it's so difficult to find good studies even that are backed by a bias or a funded study. Last question: I heard you say cooking in oil causes acne. Can you explain how that happens?   I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow on our 2nd edition of the HouseCalls!   - - -  Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/519 - - - Get Your Questions Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

516: The Missing Link Between Stress, Infertility & Weight Gain (WW)

I'll always remember this quote that I heard when interning under an old school naturopath: "The world doesn't need any more medical specialists - What we need are more generalists..." What he meant by this wasn't that there isn't a time and place to see a specialist for a health condition, but the problem is many specialists aren't looking at the entire picture of how the whole body is interconnected... This connection couldn't be more pronounced than the link between link between stress, infertility, and weight gain, yet most doctors and IVF specialists completely miss it...

515: How to Heal & Seal a Leaky Gut (TWT)

If you have increased intestinal permeability (aka "leaky gut") there are many ways to try to heal & seal the gut wall... The problem is that there's really only one best way to do it... Sure, you could use probiotics, fermented food, and bone broth, but those items simply do not work for the majority of people... The reason is that although people get the foods and nutritional supplements right a lot of the time, what they miss is the correct order in which to implement them... Unfortunately, the order you use your anti-bacterial/fungal herbal blends, biofilm disruptors, and probiotics is the key to whether or not your gut will ever fully heal (and seal up)...

513: Supplement Questions on Detox, Interferone Detox, Low White Blood Cells, TMJ, EMF Radiation Dangers, H. Pylori (HouseCall)

Welcome back to Day 2 of the Cabral #HouseCall podcasts! We have more great questions to answer today from our community and I'm looking forward to getting started! Lindsey: Hi I've been through some hormonal testing which has now put me on the supplements below. Please can you advise if I can take these supplements whilst I do the candida bacteria protocol. Please can you also advise if you can take other supplements like Maca Powder, acai powder, greens powder and flaxseed? Douglas Labs Ultra Preventive III w/ copper Douglas Labs B-Complex - Douglas Labs DHEA 25mg - Douglas Labs Glutathione Plus - Douglas Labs Zinc Picolinate (50mg) - Douglas Labs Ultra I-3-C –    Julie: Dear Dr. Cabral, my Dad got a stage 3 melanoma diagnosis a couple of weeks ago. The doctors removed the tumour and one lymph node with a 1mm metastasis. Now they want him to take interferone alpha for the next 18 months. Interferone has severe side effects like flu symptoms etc. From your naturopathic point of view is there anything we can do to ease the side effects? And do you have any additional suggestions to support his body and immune system in healing? Thank you so much for all you do to help people! Best regards, Julie   Dee: Hi Dr Cabral My husband and I finished your liver detox and are now on week 3 of the candida protocol. We had blood work done last week and got the results today. Our white blood cells are low. Besides cancer, what could be the cause of that? (We are getting another test in a few months to check count again) Also our vitamin D was low. We do have some of your D3....so should we be taking that along with candida protocol? Thanks for suggestions    Nikki: Hi there - I have tension headache symptoms but feel like it might be my TMJ. I'm sure you've answered this in the past so if you could direct me to the episodes to listen to, that would be great! I was having trouble locating it. Also, not necessary to read on your podcast but I just want to give a huge, THANK YOU! We have never met or spoken but I really do feel a genuine thoughtfulness and care from you and I'm so appreciative for this. I think many listeners probably feel this way and it's very special (and rare) to make that kind of connection. A million thank you's to you and your team...from the bottom of my healthy gut!     Sara: emf radiation - how important is it we acknowledge this, stay away from it. how can we stay safe and how can we help our bodies deal with it since impossible to avoid! Please explain the dangers of emf radiation as well. Shungite Bracelets help? Thank you!     Rebekah: Hello! I'm so grateful for this podcast! I've written in several times and appreciate every answer you've given me! What you're doing is truly amazing so thank you! I took an IgG food sensitivity test and found out that I am intolerant of a disturbing amount of foods, and very healthy foods such as sweet potatoes, mushrooms, beans, eggs, ginger, kale, collards, turmeric... just to name a few. I've had so many issue with my stomach and esophagus but never have issues with diarrhea or constipation. The main issues being nausea, reflux, indigestion, burping, and at its very worse, my left upper abdominal area will hurt so bad, swell and I will vomit for a full day. The pain in that area is worse than the actual vomiting at times. I'm staying away from acidic foods as well and eating large portions (anything more than a cup and a half) other wise I will get ill and have that pain. For the past 3 months I've had a whole foods organic smoothie every morning and the past 2 weeks I get really nauseous after the smoothie and I've had to stop drinking them. Between the IgG test and eliminating what I've had to based on the nausea and vomiting, I feel like i'll be eating cardboard in a month. What could this be?? Also I have purchased your all in one nutritional support powder and add it to my oatmeal in the morning since I'm so limited on what I can eat I know I need to get my nutrients in some how. Thank you so much in advanced.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend's HouseCall and I look forward to speaking with you again on tomorrow's Motivation & Mindset Monday! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/513 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

512: Adaptogens, Nitrous Oxide, Fluoride Dangers, SIBO Challenges, Overactive Bladder, Multiple Health Issues (HouseCall)

Hello and welcome to Day 1 of our weekend Cabral #HouseCalls! I'm looking forward to answering more of our community's questions today and we have some great ones! Here are today's topics: Alex: Hello Dr Cabral! I was wondering if you've ever done an episode on adaptogens. I've been reading about them and wondering if they are worth investing in. If possible, could you go over their effects/pros/con/benefits for the body? If you've already covered them, let me know what episode, and I'll check it out. Thanks for all you do. Alex   Andy: Hi Dr. Cabral, Our son, 19, is having problems with his wisdom teeth. They recommend he has them extracted. He has a needle phobia and has syncope with all needles, injections, IV. The receptionist at the oral surgeon mentioned he may need nitrous oxide before they put in an IV. I've read nitrous oxide can be detrimental to ones health especially if the MTHFR snps is in play. We don't know that though. He recently did the hair, tissue, mineral analysis and organic acids tests through your clinic but those results could be 4-6 weeks away. He's generally in good health. Do you see any issues with using the gas? Thanks for your help! Andy  Lindsay: Hi Dr Cabral! I came across your profile on Instagram , and as a certified Holistic Nutritionist I've been following you closely since. I absolutely agree and align my thought process with all that you educate on, so thank you for all you do. My question is regarding fluoride. I've received numerous questions on this topic regarding "should we choose a fluoride free toothpaste since there is conflicting information on fluoride in the talks of it being in our water, oral care ( toothpaste etc). " Thanks so much , appreciate you ! Lindsay   Alyssa: Hi, I have been experiencing digestive distress for the past 3-5 years. I am pretty certain that I am gluten intolerant, though I tested negative for Celiac (when I eat gluten, i experience symptoms such as significant bloat, belching, fatigue, sometimes nausea; when I eat gluten-free bread or meals, I feel OK). Additionally, I experience similar symptoms even when I am avoiding gluten. I've been to a couple different GI's, and one of which was helpful in the sense that he suggested I try a breath test for SIBO; I tested positive. And the test noted that I produce an overabundance of methane gas. My relief was through-the-roof: "I finally found out what is wrong with me!". However, I asked my doctor some follow-up questions and he left me feeling less relieved and a bit in the dark on some things. So, through some research and a friend's recommendation, I am reaching out to you in hope that you may have the answers to some questions or at least be able to provide some sort of guidance. - Do any foods trigger bacteria overgrowth or producing methane gas? - How can this be avoided in the future? - Once the 2 weeks pass and I get the bacteria out, would you suggest I immediately start taking probiotics to introduce good bacteria and build up the lining again? If so, do you suggest any probiotics' brand or type in particular? - I often experience fatigue. Do you believe this could be a direct effect of SIBO or consuming gluten if I'm gluten intolerant? My doctor told me that the recurrence is real and is about 50%; he is not able to identify if foods trigger the bacteria overgrowth or provide suggestions on how to perhaps avoid this in the future. He also cannot say if he recommends probiotic, based on conflicting evidence. Any insight you are able to offer is greatly appreciated! Best, Alyssa   Stephanie: Hello About 4 months ago I stopped eating gluten and dairy products and have gotten relief from many health issues and feel tremendously better. I feel silly asking this but one thing I noticed is that I no longer have issues with frequent urination/overactive bladder (was never officially diagnosed with this by a doctor but it was always an issue). I am just wondering if this could somehow be related? Thanks for any info you can provide! :) Stephanie   Christie: I stumbled across your podcast and man am I glad I did, your podcasts are inspiring and I finally have hope that one day I can just be normal! So thank you thank you for all that you do!! 6 years ago I had the vertical sleeve gastrectomy, after losing 120 pounds I got pregnant with my 3rd son. While pregnant with my son my ferritin levels were untraceable and I still struggle to keep those numbers up. I’ve struggled to keep my vitamin D levels up but I've struggled with that for over 15 years. I had an IUD in for 8 months and was so depressed that I was sucicidal, plus I gained 40lbs while on it. I had it removed and now I can’t get the 40lbs off (that was 2 years ago), but the depression is better. Also the week before my period (we call it shark week) I am insane my emotions are all over the place from depression to suddenly happy and inspired to angry and the only time I feel normal is when I'm on my period I feel great when I'm on my period but the weeks before and after are pretty scary. No matter how much I sleep, I still find it hard to get out of bed in the morning and I need a nap in order to finish functioning during the day. I have to exercise at night because after working out I have to go straight to bed and if I workout in the morning then I sleep all day. My doctor has tested my thyroid loads of times and TSH is 1.98 within the numbers I guess. My doctors say that I have “Adjustment Disorder” as well as exercise induced asthma and was diagnosed with degenerative arthritis in my low back at age 30 (6 years ago) but I refuse to be on medication for any of it, I just deal with the pain and go every week to the chiropractors for the pain (i won’t even take Tylenol) and try and avoid exercising outside so I don’t go into an asthma fit. Over the past 10 months I've been on 10 different antibiotics, I've had 2 root canals, 2 nasal infections, 2 vaginal bacterial infections, and pneumonia and am currently on an antibiotic. I just would like to know where you think I should start first, what test do you suggest I start with? My doctors just want to put me on medication and I want to fix the problems, not mask them and create more issues than I already have! Also several doctors just shrug me off and say “you’re normal” and just a tired mom of three boys but man I certainly don’t feel normal. Help please!

510: How to Change Up Your Workouts to Fit the “Season” (TT)

I often get exercise questions asking if your workouts should change based on the "season?" The reasoning behind the questions is typically around goal setting and how you should be training to develop your ideal physique... Believe it or not, for over 100 years there has been a specific "cyclical training cycle" that has rotated with the seasons based on your yearly body transformation goals... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 510 to learn how you can change up your workouts to fit the season and make sure your body "peaks" at just the right time - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/510 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

509: The Bathing Suit Body Diet Revealed (WW)

Personally, I don't think it's realistic or even necessary to walk around everyday of your life at your ideal perfect goal weight, or body... That would require that you exclude all of your favorite "cheat foods" on a weekly basis and that you're strictly adhering to an exercise program... What I do believe is that we should all stay within 5-10 lbs maximum of our healthy goal weight, and then when desired we can easily lose that extra weight within a week or two... This is a more relaxed, enjoyable, and realistic way to live in my opinion... For details on how to lose that 5-10 lbs quickly before a big event, photo shoot, wedding, beach day, or vacation, tune into today's #CabralConcept 509 where I share with you my private client's Bathing Suit Body Diet plan - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/509 - - - Bathing Suit Body Diet Plan: http://StephenCabral.com/store - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

508: Do You Have These Symptoms of Leaky Gut? (TWT)

No matter what you may be currently suffering from, it almost always ties back to your gut health... The reason for this is that 80% of your entire immune system lies inside and surrounding your approximately 28 feet of digestive tract (intestines)... Plus, if your gut health is imbalanced you will not properly break down and assimilate your food - leading to malabsorption and nutrient deficiencies... AND, if you have any increased intestinal permeability (a.k.a. "leaky gut") you will spill proteins, yeast, and bacteria into your bloodstream causing a host of issues (and symptoms)! This is why it's so important to ensure you have proper gut health. I urge you to tune into today's #CabralConcept 508 to see if you have the very specific signs & symptoms of leaky gut - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/508 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

507: Why You Should Never Compare Yourself to Others (MM)

Until just a few hundred years ago it was vitally important that we looked out into the world with a comparative eye... It would have often been life or death situations, and therefore, crucial that we would be constantly judging and comparing ourselves to our environment... The issue is that in 2017 we're still stuck with this "compare and contrast" mentality - And that thought process is causing massive anxiety, depression, poor self-image, and a competitive non-stop lifestyle...

506: H. Pylori, Acid Producing Foods, Alternate Pupil Sizes, Shilajit, Recurring Digestive Issues, ileocecal valve, Black Garlic, Acne Diet (HouseCall)

I hope you're enjoying the weekend and thank you for tuning back into this weekend's Part 2 of the Cabral #HouseCall! Today's community questions are: Tanya: ill be quick! a couple food questions: -black garlic good health benefit? Tastes amazing -is there an anti-acne diet? -do nut butters contribute to acne? already cut out dairy, eggs, gluten and still have acne (35 years old using retin-a) - portion control - are their easy ways to remember portion sizes, like size of fist, finger, etc? (not cups or ounces which are harder to visualize) thank oyu   Anonymous: Dear Dr. Cabral, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the work that you and your team are doing. I can’t thank you enough for the positive impact you have had on my life, which is carrying over to my family’s life as well. My 16 year old son now starts his day with your “Blue Crush” smoothie, instead of a sugar filled yogurt! A little history regarding my question: I am 45 year old female, diagnosed with SIBO in May 2015, then Candida in October 2016. I recently completed your Candida protocol and am feeling better. However, I don’t feel that I am at my best health. I am still showing various symptoms, such as brain fog, low energy (tired for a majority of the day), low libido, difficulty relaxing my mind, some bloating and occasional foul smelling gas after eating, and constant stuffed up nose. Last year I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, and now I have it again. I typically eat very healthy, the Dr. Cabral Detox is my typical way of eating. I exercise regularly with yoga, walking, a little bit of running and strength training. I have a limited meditation practice. I have been overly stressed about the past 6 months though. I continue to add wellness practices to my routine. However, I am feeling of balance, and would like to hear what avenue you might suggest that I look into next to continue my healing journey. Thanks again for all you do! Love your podcast and refer it often, as well as your Instagram.   CC: Hi Stephen, I wondered if you are you familiar with or better yet, have taken Shilajit? I was reading about the ancient herbal ayurvedic substance to balance hormone levels and reduce fatigue then realised it had a whole wealth of benefits due to all it's vitamins and minerals but apparently there are a lot of low-grade imitations and even genuine shilajit can be contaminated with fillers? I purchase Jing Herbs.   Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, For the last 4 years I have noticed my eyes doing something interesting. My pupils alternate sizes. At random times one will be significantly larger than the other and they alternate all day long on and off. Both seem dilate fine as I've had them checked out with my yearly eye appointment. It is something that has concerned me but I don't have headaches or any other symptoms that I feel may correlate. Do you know anything about this? I would love to know any knowledge you may have around this symptom. Thanks, Taylor    Anon: Hello doctor! About 8 months ago I ate Taco Bell (...I know gross but Health wasn't a concern for me at that time). Less than 30 minutes later I got sick with nausea/vomiting and since then my digestive system has not been the same. I had the worst heartburn I never knew existed for about 2 months after just about daily. I was given omeprazole but stopped taking it after two weeks because it made me really nauseous so I turned to Rolaids/tums/pepto for a couple of months just about daily as well. Then I started with overwhelming anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and couldn't eat but about 10 different foods. Saw a naturopath and did a clean guy protocol and was back on my feet after about 3.5 months. The question I have is one thing that keeps reoccurring are episodes of gastroenteritis. Three times in these past 8 months I've gotten what I believe to be food poisoning. It usually starts less than an hour after I eat. I'll get painful upper abdominal cramps right under the left rib area and usually will start vomiting 2 hours after. Vomiting never last longer than 20hrs or so. Is this a bad coincidence or are there some questions I need to start asking. Now I eat a good diet of mostly whole organic foods but will occasionally snack on junk foods maybe once a week. My naturopath had ordered me a functional medicine stool test that looks for things that a normal stool test doesn't but I'm really want a second opinion. I hope you enjoyed this weekend's community Q&A and all the tips added in along the way! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/506 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

505: Welts on Skin, Pityriasis Rosea, Skin Staph Infection, Vaginal Discharge, High Stress Symptoms, Trouble Swallowing, Anesthesia (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral #HouseCalls! We have some amazing questions this weekend starting with these 6 community questions today: Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, I need to get all four of my wisdom teeth extracted in a month. What can I do before and after surgery to help me heal faster and detox from the anesthesia? Thanks!   MariEllen: I went to the doctor for trouble swallowing. Got tested for my thyroid and had an ultrasound and all was okay. They want me to go to a GI for maybe an esophagus issue, but I have gone to so many doctors I don't want to waste any more money or time. I often feel the need to burp. Could this just be acid reflux? And I am not interested in taking a prescription, is there any thing else I can take for this? Hi doctor Cabral, I have written in previously a week ago and have done some research with your help. You have not answered my question yet and I know you guys generally have a few weeks lag and it's no problem but I have been thinking... would I be wasting my time doing the candida bacteria overgrowth protocol if I am currently on birth control? I am getting married in three months and the last time I tried to get off birth control, my entire back broke out and I can't have that happen seeing as my back will be showing in my wedding dress. I kind of have tried to cross out everything else that is wrong with me.. is there a connection between candida and a hormone imbalance as well? Thank you!   MariEllen: Dr Cabral, you are amazing and I feel like I have made more progress with my health with listening to you daily than any conventional medicine I have tried. I just got back blood tests and an ultrasound on my thyroid. Everything came back ok. I believe my symptoms to be adrenal fatigue and no one seems to agree. I have been on birth control for far too long and hate what it does to me. I noticed when I stopped taking it for a short amount of time I slept a lot better but am back on it for my acne apparently. My cystic acne has yet to go away for good. I am still suffering from it. My symptoms are hard time falling asleep, irritable, snappy, anxiety, overwhelmed quickly, dry skin, frequent urination, purple nails and poor circulation to hands and feet, no sex drive, neck pain, trouble swallowing, cravings for sweets, extreme headaches, mind never stops racing, constantly worrying, startle extremely easily, grinding/clenching my teeth, lack of taste/smell, extreme hunger, burning and aching eyes, always cold, no motivation, dry and itchy scalp and oily hair and lighter periods as well as trouble swallowing and ear aches. I know you have a test for this, but I can't find room for it in my budget this second and just want to feel better. I feel confident in saying I have adrenal fatigue, but want your advice. I also wanted to just get off birth control completely and keep telling my OBGYN that my cystic acne has got to be hormonal and no one will believe me. I want to take natural supplements to help me get back to myself and don't want coming off birth control to be a complete disaster either but I don't want to take birth control anymore. I also have your candida protocol that I will hopefully be starting next week.. Thank you    Jess: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently completed the Candida and Bacterial cleanse protocol and feel amazing! I have significantly less bloating and love the results! I have learned so much about my body and how food affects it. I noticed that during the protocol my white clumpy vaginal discharge went away (I frequently got yeast infections), however some of the discharge is back now that I am off the protocol. I do sometimes get some foul smelling gas after meals as well. I am in the health professional field, followed the specific shopping list you provided and did my best to stay satiated on the meal plan. I did lose some weight that I am now trying to slowly gain back because I have not gotten my period the last two months. I am wondering if this white ( somewhat clumpy) discharge is normal. There is no itching like before. Any input or recommendations on gaining weight back without causing increased Candida growth would be so helpful! I started the gut rebuilding protocol but if you have other suggestions for another supplement to take to avoid Candida/ bacteria overgrowth again / ensure it is all gone that helpful as well! Thanks for everything that you do, I appreciate all of your time and commitment! Jess   Carla: Hi Dr. Cabral, I believe I have a staph infection on my arms and I was wondering the best way to treat it myself? I know that they can become very serious but I'd like to avoid going to a Doctor and being given antibiotics. I've been applying turmeric poultices for 2 days to two small open wounds on my arms but haven't noticed much of a difference. Is there anything else I can do? Also what can I do to prevent it in the future? I do a martial art where I come in direct contact with other people (Brazilian jiu jitsu). Thank you so much for the work you do! Carla   Lauren: Hi Stephen, I recently got an alarming amount of marks that look like welts/hives/bites etc all throughout my body. It began as very itchy (including my scalp) as if i had a bug on me. Then within 2 days throughout the day I kept developing more welt like marks that are very itchy mostly on my torso area; however a few on my forehead near my scalp. I haven't used any new products and I am very conscious of using Fragrance-free products as I used to have eczema and have generally sensitive to dry skin. I went to a walk-in clinic, and the doctor insisted it wasn't bug bites but that it was something called pityriasis rosea. After looking at the symptoms of that, I have no similarities nor do my marks look anything like that as mine resemble mosquito bites. thus, i am stumped and worried it could be auto-immune related or something like scabies etc. Last week, i felt weird tingling in my left foot near my ankle as if the sense of touch felt different on that ankle compared to the right side. Just thinking if any of this could be related. I eat generally well and try to eat organic as best as I can but, I am not perfect & could be better. What route do you suggest I take in regards to the above? I wish I lived in boston to come visit you! thanks in advance!!

499: Menstrual Symptoms, Acne on Neck & Back, Microwaved Food, GMO Foods, Best CoQ10, Perioral Dermatitis, Candida Cleanse, Copper IUD Spotting (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! We have some amazing questions lined up for you today, so let's get started: Amanda: Hi Dr. Cabral. Love the show. Last September I switched birth control contraceptives. I had been on the pill for about 10 years. I switched to the cooper IUD (paragard). I've had spotting almost every single month since the switch. I was told this was normal, however, I didn't expect it to last this long. Is there anything I can do to help stop the spotting?  Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, is it fine to start taking probiotics after a few weeks of a decent candida cleanse even if you are still experiencing candida symptoms, i.e. bloating, gas etc; is it usual to still experience the symptoms until you start on probiotics or should you completely wait or avoid probiotics until those symptoms are fully gone? I also wondered what your take is on the controversial probiotic Enterococcus faecalis (found in Threelac/Fivelac)? Learnt so much thanks for your amazing podcast! Amanda: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a holistic nutritionist and love your show. Almost 5 months ago I ended up with leaky gut which led me to having perioral dermititis. My skin problems were really bad until I started Going on a leaky gut protocol; healing with bone broths, fermented foods, green juices and probiotics. Today I am much better but there is still a slight rash around my nose that hasn't totally gone away. Some days it's better than others. Do you have any experience of what could keep this lingering dermatitis? Is it bacteria or fungal? And any suggestions on a cure? Thanks for all that you do  Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, similar to the CBD oil I was very intrigued on your 483 episode on CoQ10. I purchased a CoQ10 supplement & serum about a year ago from "MitoQ"; unfortunately I wasn't consistent with either but since your episode, I have looked back into them and noticed this supplement contains 5mg Mitoquinol and wondered how that compares to the supplements you suggested of 100mg Ubiquinol? I have read reviews for both and both seem to be very effective but the price range is quite significant. Thanks and awesome podcast!! Tony: Hi Doctor Cabral, I am mid fight with my gf about microwaving food. I do not see the issue, she is telling me it disrupts the food on a cellular level and I just don't believe her. Is there truly any harm in microwaving your food for best health. Also, What makes GMO food GMO? I do not see gmo as hurtful, again my gf thinks otherwise, so we come to you! I do not see the harm in eating gmo plants since cross pollination is inherently natural. My gf believes its the seed that is corrupt and therefore needs more pesticides. it is all confusing to me. please help explain. Does gmo food truly connect to disease? Thank you!  Geena: I have been breaking out on the front of my neck and LOWER back and shoulders, and eyebrow area of my face. I have tried to learn about Chinese facial mapping and I think it points to a bad liver? Any ideas? The acne on my neck is the most troublesome and creates anxiety. thank you for your help and podcast, I am sure to spread the news you give.   Stephanie: Hello! I have extremely bad lower back pain the first 2 days of my period when it is the heaviest, any reason? I can't really work or do much on these days. I heard it is just normal and my doc just wants to put me on birth control, but I know better. Any advice? I am 32 years old an would like to have kids in the next couple years. Also since on the topic, is it true women get to "clean out their blood" through their period monthly, so it is really something we should look at as a good nuisance....? I also break out on my back the week before my period. normal? Thank you! Great show.

498: Interstitial Cystitis, Parathyroid, Food Combining Smoothies, Décolletage Lines, Vitreal Macular Traction, Supplement Dosing, Red Dots, Fascia Blaster (HouseCall)

I'm excited to bring you our first Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend where I share answers top our community's wellness, weight loss and anti-aging questions! Here are today's Q&A topics: Jodi: Hi Dr. Cabral, Love your podcasts. I started listening about a month ago and I'm learning lots. What are your thoughts on the new fascia blaster that is being advertised to break up cellulite? I'm wondering if I should purchase one. What are other ideas to eliminate cellulite? Thanks, Jodi Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, my mom and I both have little red dots, primarily on our arms. Some are the size of a pin head and some like the tip of a ball point pen. They look like red freckles. My mom has had them all my life and I've had them for at least 20 years. Any idea what causes these and how to get rid of them? Thank you so much for any light you can shed on this topic. Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral -I love your podcasts and appreciate the amount of helpful information you give on a daily basis! Two questions: 1. You mentioned in another podcast that not every person can take a probiotic depending on other internal issues. What if you don't know whether your child has one of those? Is it better not to give them at all or is it safe to give them daily? My child takes a gummy by Renew Life called Ultimate Flora with 3 billion daily and I'm concerned I'm doing more harm than good. Thoughts? Also if okay to take - do you know if this is a good quality option? 2. I loved your interview with Sara Gottfried - have been reading her book Younger, which is excellent and following her work. I believe I read on a recent post of Sara's that she is recovering from breast cancer. Part of me feels discouraged that a functional medicine doctor with access to all of the preventative tests, information and resources -- and who has been following the best possible protocol for over 10 years -- can still end up with breast cancer. I would like your thoughts on this. I think very highly of her and her work and wish her a full recovery and this is by no means a criticism of her work or of her. It just left me questioning if there just isn't a way to prevent disease even if you do everything possible to get it "right", Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have a few questions that are inter-related. I just purchased The Daily Support and wonder the following: 1. Would I as a 105 pound woman use two scoops and my husband at 200 pounds use the same amount every morning or should we adjust based on weight? 2. Am I getting all of my daily vitamins with it only if use the two scoops? 3. If I'm deficient in Bs and Ds is it okay to take an additional supplement? If so, when would I take them? 4. You suggest using it for morning and as afternoon shake - is it possible to take in too many vitamins during a day? I know certain vitamins build up and others like C don't so don't want to take too many or too little. 5. Is it safe to take a daily liver detox which your supplement contains or isn't this something you do once a quarter? Thanks! Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm so overjoyed to have found you and your podcast! I'm hooked! Your teachings, insights, and dedication are a blessing in my life. Thanks so much for all you do. I have a question regarding CBD and eye health. I was diagnosed with Vitreal Macular Traction in my left eye in October of 2013 (piece of the macula stuck to the vitreous). I'm in good shape, with no major health issues outside of mild IBS which I manage with diet and probiotics so I was shocked to have this happen. I can see out of the eye, just can't read out of it which is so depressing. Although there's a surgery and gel injection for VMT it isn't always successful and can lead to a permanent black spot on the eye. To support eye healing, I shifted my diet to mostly vegetarian with occasional chicken and salmon at least once a week. Many people with VMT heal spontaneously, so I'm (still) hoping that will be me. My question is this: I have read a few articles stating that people taking CBD for other health issues, had their Macular Degeneration healed as a by product. Could you speak to the potential for healing of eye dis-ease with a CBD protocol? Many thanks! Ava: Hello.. a vain question more than a health one.. I have noticed deeper and more visible creases on my chest area (Decolletage Lines) and I really don't want them to get worse, even more so I'd like to get rid of them without injection/ lazer. Do you have any tips? I am mid thirties and these lines are making me v self conscious. Thank you v much for your insight. Ciara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have some questions about episode 481 concerning food combining. I've been studying nutrition and holistic health for several years now and I really loved your breakdown about proper food combining. A lot of this information is consistent with what I've studied and I've incorporated what makes the most sense to me. I typically eat fruit on its own or in a green smoothie. What is your opinion on combining sweet and sub-acid fruits with leafy greens in a smoothie, as the food has already been predigested? I've read that leafy greens and fruit combine well together, but I just recently heard that this is a bad combination and only apples will mix well in a green smoothie. Also, your Daily Fruit & Vegetable Blend supplement contains similar combinations. How does this product demonstrate proper food combining?  Britney: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listened to your podcast on the thyroid, which prompted me to ask about the parathyroid. I went to the Dr. for lab work and my parathyroid hormone level was high and my calcium level was high by 1 point. They ran the numbers again 2 weeks later and the parathyroid number had lowered and was slightly outside of the reference range. My calcium had gone down by a tenth of a point. The only things that I changed between the first test and the second were eating a bit more iodine because I thought that I had a thryroid issue, and I began taking one of your daily supplements. I was advised to see an Endocrinologist and I haven't had my appointment yet. I've tried not to ready too many resources because some of what I have read has made me nervous. My Vitamin D is lower than the reference range and my LDL is slightly high. All other numbers were fine for my annual physical. Do Vitamin D and LDL play a role in a high parathyroid number? Do I need more calcium or am I lacking it? Which foods are helpful to lower the parathyroid number? Will foods/supplements keep my levels normal or will these levels need to be maintained constantly? Are any of the foods that are helpful to the thyroid also helpful to the parathyroid?  Thomas Brunhart: Hello, I found the Cabral Concept podcast a few weeks ago and love it. I have listened to many not all of the episodes. I am trying to have this email read on housecalls. Not sure if this proper way to do that or if there is a different website for that. I am a 42 year old male with Interstitial cystitis. I was diagnosed 5 years ago. It started pretty much over night. I am otherwise very healthy. I am 6' 2 '' and 175 pounds. I swim 3-4 times a week and go to they gym for weight training. I have tried many different treatments for my IC. I have tried stem cell treatment, was on a high dose of antibiotics for 1-2 months, I had my bladder stretched, tried Elmiron. The only thing so far that seems to have helped a bit was the first bladder stretching and going on a complete anti-inflammatory diet. I eat little to no gluten and processed sugars. I started taking CBD oil about 8 weeks ago can not say it changed much. However that said living with IC is still a nightmare. I am told there is not cure and would love your opinion or thoughts on the topic. Thank you Thomas Thank you for listening and I'll be back with another HouseCall tomorrow so stay tuned! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/498 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

493: You Must Remove This Phrase From Your Vocabulary (and Your Children's) (MM)

Although it's not very well known one of the main drivers for success is how you speak to yourself... This refers to the non-verbal, as well as the words spoken out loud where you're either building yourself up or putting yourself down... Most of the time we're completely unaware of this self-talk that is always taking place, but the truth is that until we get this sun-conscious speak to work for us we may be destined to never fully reach our potential...

492: Anal Tear/Fissure, Tongue Coating, Headache Foods, Canker Sore, Fat Cell Freezing, Unhealthy Doctors (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for the 2nd day of our Cabral HouseCalls! Here is today's community Q&A: Shawn: Hi Dr Cabral, Can you recommend a protocol to heal a tear around the area of the anal sphincter. It was likely caused by poor diet choices and major constipation. I've cleaned up my diet (no wheat, dairy, etc), but the wound does reopen every few months or so. Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, Loving your podcast and the time you put into it to help so many! I have a couple questions, what cookbook or resources (instagram, pinterest) does your wife use when cooking for the family? This would help me so much! My other question is, I have been on a vegan diet (80 percent raw) for 1 year hoping to heal my tongue problem. I know you have talked about this in the past and Im ordering your bacteria overgrowth supplements to see if this will help. If I do not eat ANY sugar (not even fruit sugar for the last 3 months) why cant I starve the bacteria and get rid of the white coating on my tongue? Thank you so much!! Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm loving your podcast and slowly making my way through your older episodes while continuing to listen to your new ones. You always provide such good information! I recently listened to a podcast you did on food sensitivities. You were talking about common signs or symptoms a person can experience and I'm one of those people who has a headache response to certain foods. I can never figure out a connection between the foods though. Is it common to have sensitivities to foods which on the surface appear to have nothing in common? I'm already 100% dairy free, for about 5 years, 90% gluten free, for about 1 year, and about 75% egg free, also for about 1 year. So I think I've done a good job eliminating the top 3 contenders you mention often. I've noticed that I get a strong headache, nearing a migraine but not quite, when I eat onions (typically only happens with raw, but sometimes cooked), garlic (worse with raw and cooked, not too bad with garlic powder or garlic salt as a seasoning), and cilantro. Salsa and guacamole used to be favorites of mine, but are now off limits. To me, these three foods have nothing in common, aside from their common use in lots of Mexican dishes. I've found the headache effect happens both when these foods are combined and when they are solo ingredients in a dish. Anyhoo, I'm totally open to taking your food sensitivity test, and I'd be curious to see the results, but I didn't know if you could give me a little bit of insight before I ordered it. First, can a person have similar reactions to seemingly unrelated foods? Second, will the food sensitivity test pick up on these foods if I haven't eaten them recently? I steer clear as much as possible of onions, garlic and cilantro and do pretty well with avoiding them for weeks at a time. Also since I have no dairy and very little gluten or eggs, would those foods be detectable in the test or not? My husband thinks I'm crazy for blaming onions, garlic and cilantro on my headaches after eating Mexican food, and maybe I am, but I'd love to know once and for all if I really do have a sensitivity when it comes to those foods or if it is all 'made up' by me. Thanks for your help! Megan: Hi Dr. Cabral, over the last year I have had an issue with multiple canker sores. I am in my late 30s, in a pretty good health state, average stress for a working mom, did your IGG food sensitivity test, take your daily multi and haven't changed my toothpaste etc Any suggestions? They hurt! Many thanks. Anon: Hi Stephen, I appreciate your knowledge and the time you give to the world! My body fat has been yo-yoing since as long as I can remember (especially due to binge eating then watching what I eat and then falling off). I find that if I am extreme and avoid all my food sensitivities and sugar and carbs I am successful, but when I try to find balance with cheats I always go overboard. I want to lose body fat for good (especially around the abdomen, obliques, thighs and triceps) and learning to deal with the binge eating emotionally and hoping to have control with cheats eventually. I have been tempted to turn to cool sculpting because I hear that it actually helps you lose approx. 25% of fat cells by freezing them and that traditional methods only shrink your fat cells. At this time I am trying to fast to shrink my stomach and when eating, eating very nutrient-dense food. What is your opinion overall and do yo have any other advice? Thank you so much! Anon: Hi Stephen, Thank you for giving back with this podcast - you are truly making a change in the world! I am confused because I have been meeting many health practitioners (nutritionists, naturopathic doctors, etc.) that are overweight (not obese, but body composition is not ideal - but seemingly eat well) and do not look like what I am led to believe is in optimal health although that is their business. I am wondering how much of how lean you are or how you look is a reflection of your health because similarly, I know many people who look healthy, but I know do not eat well and/or have health issues. I do not want to judge a book by it's cover and/or hurt anyone's feelings, but better understand this so I know how to perceive it... Can you please shed some light on this? Thank you so much for answering our questions! I hope you enjoyed this weekend's community Q&A and all the tips added in along the way! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/492 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

491: Gluten-Free Baking, Fibroids, Health Schools, Goiters & Goitrogenic Foods, Bacopa (HouseCall)

Welcome back! Today we'll be starting Part 1 of this weekend's Cabral #HouseCalls where we answer our community's questions. Here are today's questions: Kerry: Please give me your thoughts on rice flour (looking for gluten free options) I was tempted to buy sprout brown rice flour but remembered that its recommended to have rice sparingly due to the natural arsenic in it. Is this something I should limit or use at all? Anon: Hi Dr. Cabral, What is your take on fibroids? I performed a quick search for previous podcasts on this topic and didn't see anything come up. I was diagnosed with two 11-14 cm fibroids in October 2016, which were symptomatic (pelvic pain, heavy periods, discomfort from working out, etc.). After visiting my gynecologist, I was told that I would need to have an open myomectomy to have them removed, especially if I want to have children. I am a 35 year old African American women with no children, but plans to have children. Long story short, I opted to go the holistic route of shrinking the growths. I used Fibro Defense for uterine health, systemic enzymes, which I now take everyday, I increased my intake of raw green foods (I was born and raised as a vegetarian with a solid plant based diet) and wheatgrass shots. Since my symptoms seemed to be getting worse, and I want to plan to start having children with my fiance this year, I opted for a minimally invasive myomectomy. Turns out, I only had one 14 cm fibroid and one very small one that was not removed. Do you know what really causes fibroids? Are they estrogen dependent? I stopped taking my birth control in December 2016 and have continued to up my enzyme intake with plant foods and supplementation. My hope is that this second growth doesn't result in another surgery. Many thanks!   Fabienne: Dear Dr Cabral, my name is Fabienne and I am reaching out to you all the way from Luxembourg, Europe. I've been listening to your podcasts and I would like to thank you for all the work that you do. I genuinely appreciate all the information you put out there. I am currently doing a heath coaching program with IIN; I believe in the value of nutrition and would like to dig deeper into the area of holistic health and functional medicine. I do have a job at the moment so enrolling at a university abroad is not an option, therefore I would like to study with a distance learning program. My problem is that I find so many inspiring and seemingly meaningful schools and programs, that it's a bit overwhelming for me to choose one. Are there any schools or programs that you could recommend to someone who's just starting out in that field? I've found a curriculum that seems really interesting, it's with the "New Eden School of Clinical Natural Medicine" and it is called "Certified Naturopath in Functional Approaches (C.N.F.A) An impressive non-doctorate professional diploma program in Functional Naturopathy. A science based curriculum that combines Naturopathy and Functional Medicine. Requirements: High school education or GED" Would you say this is a good program? I am willing to learn, so it's not a question of workload, but rather one of: is this a good program? Or are there others I should look into? There are also quite a lot of German schools that offer online courses (and I remember you saying that you wish you had had the opportunity to do some training in Germany), maybe I should stick to one of those? I hope you can help me out, there is so much information out there that it is a bit exhaustive and I don't really know who to ask as most practitioners in Luxembourg have done their education in French, not English or German. Thanks again for everything. I understand if you do not wish to promote any schools in particular, so I won't hold it against you if you can't reply ;-) Sandra: I have hashimoto' disease and have been told not to eat raw cruciferous vegetable. I also have a few nodules And a cyst , non malignant , on my thyroid so not to consume too much sugar including fruit. My question is- will green powder be ok to add to morning shake? Isabelle: Hello! I have a question about Bacopa manner (or Brahmi). I was wondering if you have any experiences using this herb? Any possible side-effects? And would you recommend it for its alleged brain benefits? Thanks so much, from Isabelle Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to come back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/491 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

488: The Difference Between Adrenal vs. Thyroid vs. Weight Loss Testing (WW)

In the very near future you'll hear more about the power of Functional Medicine Testing in the media... Although it's been around for decades, unfortunately many people haven't been exposed to a resource that very well may be the catalyst that helps them achieve their wellness, weight loss, or anti-aging goals... The reason I'm so passionate about this is that Functional Medicine lab testing is what helped me figure out the underlying root causes for why I was feeling sick even when the "best doctors" in the world couldn't tell me what was wrong with me... You see, when you're only looking at your blood work you're never getting the full picture. This is why looking deeper into your gut health, adrenals, thyroid, hormones, and other systems of the body is so important... So on today's #CabralConcept 488, I'm going to explain 3 popular Functional Medicine lab tests, what they are, what they test for, and why one of them may just be what you're looking for - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/488 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

487: The Delusion of Disease (TWT)

Some people are desperately seeking medical help trying to figure out what is wrong with them... The problem is that they are looking to be told they have some name of a "disease" that they can then hang their hat on and finally feel like their pain and suffering is justified... Although I've been through this myself and I truly understand this longing for an answer, the problem is that being diagnosed with a disease is one of the worst things that can happen to you... The reason I say this is due to the fact that you will then be medicated and most likely given no alternative to ever coming off those drugs - You'll be sentenced to a life of "disease." Tune into today's controversial #CabralConcept 487 for a look into this dilemma and how to overcome "the delusion of disease" while finding true long-term relief for your health issues - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/487 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

485: Candida Protocol, Breast Implants, Balding, Botox Safety, Estrogen Dominance, Slow Child Growth, Parasite Protocol, Flu-Like Symptoms, Epstein Barr Virus (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us for Day 2 of our weekend community Q&A! We have 7 more excellent questions to answer and so let's get right into them! Anon: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks so much for all the time you take to help educate all the listeners, you have made an amazing impact on my life. My questions are, I know I clearly have a fungal and possible candida overgrowth and have for several years but just was left with no answers as to why or how to fix them. I have had toe fungus for several years off and on and couldn't understand or get it to go away permenanty. I would on occasion get a good fresh nail to grow in on my big toe right foot and then a few months later find it sore and overcome again by fungus! Anyway, I know I need to do the Candida Protocol but I am currently nursing my 11 month old son. I would like to start this asap but I fear to do anything while I'm nursing, should I wait until I'm finished or would it be safe to start? My other question is, I do have saline breast implants and will be getting them out as soon as I can due to not liking the way they look the weight of them and also my overall health. I fear I will not like the way Iook after and am hesitant to get newer smaller ones placed back in. What is your take on these? And I know I will be placed on antibiotics after so where do i start with gut repair after the fact? Anon: Hi Stephen First of all, thanks very much for all of your free podcasts. They are a wealth of information I don’t think is available anywhere else on the net and you are an inspiration to me and I’m sure many others. I am male, 44 years old, 12.10 stone (76.8kg) in weight and in reasonable health. Although I don’t get much exercise and work at a desk I’ve managed to drop a couple of stone over the last year by healthy eating. I have been suffering from male pattern baldness for about 16 years but the progression has been slow and I have been using Minoxidil for many years and Finasteride for the last 5 years. I have however, over the last year, had bouts of hair shedding that last for a month or two then it calms for a month or two before starting again. The shedding its self seems to be strongest around midday when I start to feel a tingling or itchiness on my scalp. It appears to only be on work days when I’m sitting at my desk, although it could be that I notice it more at this time. I do get regrowth between the shedding months but I’m keen to find out if this is just a natural progression of male pattern baldness or if there is anything I can do to slow or stop the cycle. Again, thanks very much for all your hard work. Anon: Hi Dr. Cabral, What are your thoughts on botox injections? Are they dangerous? Are they worth it? What other natural things could you do instead of botox injections for wrinkles? Thanks for your help! Jenett: Hi Dr Cabral I just recently started listening to your podcast about a month ago and love it! I get SO much information and you answer so many questions that I would ask myself, had I been in your office. I have been studying and researching all things Naturopathic for my family and myself. I have two questions and would so incredibly grateful for your advice. 1) I have battled estrogen dominance and adrenal fatigue for years which has caused weight gain, heart palpitations, fatigue and so many more symptoms. I was researching the blood type diet and pear shaped diet and a endomorph body type diet which all describe me to a T as far as telling me to avoid things like grains, which I have an intolerance to but Im still off. Is there a way for me to naturally balance my hormones without so many supplements? 2) My son is going to be 11 in July and he is at least a foot shorter then all his class mates and he only weighs 47lbs. Every time he has a new doctor see him, they want to run every blood test and stool sample but aside from a little low albumin, which they said nothing of concern about, they cant seem to figure out why he cant gain weight. He was 5Lb 13oz when he was born so he started out small but normal pregnancy and birth though they gave him a bottle in the hospital without asking me so he did have trouble with nursing and he cried all the time, which they told me was collic but in hindsight, leads me to believe he may have been hungry and malnourished. The thought devastates me as a mother that I neglected to see this. He is active, healthy, smart and an honor roll student so aside from his weight, there are no obvious issues but I am concerned about his weight. Do you have any insight as to what this might mean? Thank you so much for your time and whatever advice you can give. Love, love, love your show and will always be a fan!! Chelsea: I'm interested in ordering your parasite protocol, but am wondering if it comes with additional instructions on how and when to take the supplements. Are there specific protocol directions that come with the order? Thank you! Cindy: Hello Stephen Cabral, I love your podcast! Best ever and I have learned so much from you! Thanks a MILLION! I've been dealing with flu like symptoms and feeling super exhausted. Doctors can't seem to figure out what is wrong with me. So much blood work done and everything is "normal" Some say it's depression others have no clue?? What can I do to find answers. Plus I have 2 girls so I need my health back. Lol Any feed back would be much appreciated. God bless you for all you do for us! :) Thank you, Cindy L Madison: What are the benefits vs. harmful effects of colloidal silver chelated using Fulvic Acid? I am using it primarily to treat chronic Epstein Barr Virus. I have read that it also reduces inflammation and heals leaky gut. As someone with chronic EBV and also interstitial cystitis, reducing chronic inflammation is a huge goal. However, I have been experiencing some major die-off symptoms (aches, muscle spasms and weakness, sleepiness, fatigue, nausea). I hope you enjoyed this weekend's Q&A and all the tips added in along the way! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/485 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

484: Razor Burn, Varicose Veins, STDs, CBD Testing, OCD, Candida While Nursing, Increased Appetite (HouseCall)

Welcome back to the Cabral HouseCall! Today is day 1 of our community Q&A and I'm excited to be answering these specific questions: Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral, Your weekend podcasts when you answer listener questions are quickly becoming some of my favorites. I'm learning answers to all sorts of questions I didn't even know I had! And I really like how you reference back to older podcasts for more information. Needless to say, I think your podcast is great! Do you have any suggestions for a natural way to cure razor burn/shave rash? I seem to perpetually get it around my bikini area and occasionally in two small spots in my armpits, same spot under each arm. I've tried using every type of shave lotion/gel I know to exist, from natural ones at my local health food stores, to the chemically ones found at the big box stores, without much luck. I read online that coconut oil can help (it's like a go-to cure-all for just about everything) but it didn't do anything for me other than make that area of my body greasy. Any ideas? Thanks! Jen Jen & Salma: Varicose Veins & Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you for taking the time to read and help me with my question. I have a few dark veins, possible spider, slightly raised in my legs maybe a cm or 2 long. These have occurred following 2 pregnancies and I'd like to remove them - is lazer my only option? Simone: Excluding HIV/AIDS, are there any natural cures for STIs and/or STDs? Specifically, chlamydia? Thanks for any insight with this! Susanne: My husband has a CDL license and has to pass random drug tests. If he were to us the CDB oil would he pass the test? Lisa: My question and concern is regarding the use of CBD oil for OCD in my 19 yr old son. He has had OCD for about 9 years and been on Prozac. With maturity he has gained more control with it and wants to get off of this prescription. He is not a marijuana user or illicit drug user of any kind and against it (at least for himself) as am I. I would hate for him to start using CBD oil to mask symptoms and slip into the belief that using a drug is okay which could lead to further usage. I would want him to learn how to manage his OCD and not cover up his symptoms. He had years of therapy but rejected it overall. My other question is other than CBD or in addition to, what types of treatment or testing would your practice do to help someone like him wean off of his medicine. My biggest regret as a mother is putting him on them in the first place. I wish I would have known about functional medicine 10 years ago. We did recently talk with his doctor about CBD and sent her your podcasts and information regarding it. She didn't agree or disagree but I hope she finds the info beneficial. Thank Dr, Cabral. Nikki: Hi again :) I had written in a few months ago about an ear infection my daughter had. Four months later (she is 1 now) she has another one and are giving her the garlic drops as recommended and it seems to be working! However, today her fever came back. We've been giving her a few drops in each ear 3 times a day. I don't know what more we should do. I really want to avoid antibiotics and I fear she may be prone to ear infections. Her mood is fine, stool is normal, more sleepy, less hungry. A HUGE thanks for any insight on this and for all you do for this wellness community. Your knowledge is truly a gift to us. Cassi: I'm currently doing the Candida protocol and just started phase 2. I have just recently noticed a slightly significant increase in my appetite and am wondering if you think this is related/unrelated/in my head...? Thank you!! Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to come back tomorrow for Part 2 of our Q&A! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabal.com/484 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

482: The Best & Worst Times to Stretch (TT)

We've been told for decades that the way to become more flexible and prevent injuries is to stretch... However, new data has repeatedly shown that stretching for the sake of stretching does not improve flexibility, nor does it prevent injuries... It turns out, though, there is a specific way and time to stretch that does work and it can be done in as little as 30-90 seconds...

481: Shrink Your Stomach with These Food Combining Principles (WW)

Transforming your body has so much more to do with how and what you eat, than just counting calories alone... The reason for this is that not all foods are created equal and to make things more complicated some foods don't combine well together... And, if those poor food combinations are eaten at the same meal it can cause bloating, toxic build up, weight gain, inflammation, and disease... But of course, there is an easier way and on today's #CabralConcept 481 I'll share with you the ancient food combining principles in order to simplify your meals and shrink your stomach at the same time - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/481 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

480: The 9 Vegan Foods to Fix Your Liver (TWT)

Your liver is "hands down" the most important organ in your body... If it starts to weaken even just a little, every other organ has to work much harder and your blood begins to become a toxic cesspool leading to headaches, fatigue, skin issues, aging, and disease... This is why it's so important to be working on strengthening your liver with whole foods on a daily basis... A few weeks ago I shared many foods on how to detox your liver, and today on the #CabralConcept 480 I want to provide you with the top 9 (vegan) foods to fix, heal, and optimize your liver - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/480 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

478: CBD Drug Testing, CBD & Skin Issues, Hair Loss, Detox & Breastfeeding, Destroy Herpes Virus (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining us again on Part 2 of this weekend's Cabral #HouseCall! We've got more amazing questions from our community and I'm looking forward to answering those right now on today's show: Jim: I work in the nuclear power industry. I am subjected to random drug testing. Would CBD oil or any of your other supplements test positive? My livelihood has been very good to me and I would not want to loose my job over these supplements. I also have had great success with the ketogenic diet. I lost 60 Pounds and have kept it off for about 1.5 years. I am vertically pain free most of the time. When I work out or do physical work I recover very quickly..no pain. I was on medication for a slow thyroid for 10 years and I was able to stop. I do not count non- starchy vegetables against my carb ?limits. So I do eat 6-8 cups of salad/ cruciferous veggies almost daily. I going to try meatless Mondays. I stick with healthy fats . Avacado oils, Olive oils. Moderate protein. I look forward to listening to your show on my way to work each morning. I feel like you care about us even though we have never met. God bless you, Jim Dave: CBD. I just ordered the trial size for my son who lives in CA. He suffers from anxiety. I live in Canada. I suffer from psoriatic arthritis which was triggered by colon cancer surgery in December 2015. Psoriasis is in my family. I have lost about 40% use of my legs. Getting out a chair, climbing stairs, golfing and snow skiing are difficult and sometimes impossible tasks. I am 68 years old. In your podcast you mention that CBD helps with psoriasis and arthritis. Do you think it would provide help for me? I am going to a PSA Clinic this Friday at Toronto Western Hospital for a second opinion. My Rheumatologist since February 2016 has me on a combination of Methotrexate and Otezla which, is working, but after 14 months, I am no where near able to tee it up again. Thank you Lindsey: Hi Stephen, I randomly get the odd dark hair growing out from all different areas but they are v noticeable on my pale skin and my other body hair is blonde. Why would this happen? Thank you for being my no 1 podcast! Ciara: Hi Dr. Stephen, I have a question related to some hair loss that I've been experiencing for about 2.5 years now. I'm a 35 year old female and I noticed a few years ago that my hair was thinning around my hairline and it's mainly occurring on the left side of my head. It's not consistent, as I've noticed that it's pretty stagnant right now. I thought that it may be related to stress, as there is no known instances of hair loss in my family; however, I have noticed that my mother's hairline on all sides has dramatic thinning (she's 59). She told me that it's probably from years of pulling her hair back. My hair is otherwise healthy (no shedding, breakage, etc.). I've been to two Dermatologists and have visited with an Endocrinologist, in which I was instructed to have the following test done with results: Lab Results to Date: TSH = Anna: Hello! Love your show. Can you use CBD oil if you are breastfeeding? Baby is 7 months old. Also is using an infrared sauna ok for a breastfeeding mother? Thanks :) Anna Aliana: I have recently been diagnosed with hsv1 and 2 and have been doing a lot of research on how to get rid of it. There are people out there that believe you can if you rid your body of excess heavy metals, have excellent nutrition and using pure oregano oil. Have you had any experience with this and do you believe it could work? I hope you enjoyed this weekend's community Q & A's and be sure to tune in for tomorrow's Motivation & Mindset Monday! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/478 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

477: Smelly Urine, Compression Clothing, Greasy Hair, Meniere's Disease, Children's Candida Cleanse, Sprouted Foods, Where to Start (HouseCall)

Welcome back to this weekend's Cabral HouseCall where we'll be answering out community's questions over the next 48 hours! Here is today's Q & A and it's a great one! Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you again for always answering my questions on your podcast! I have 2 questions.... Why does my 10 yr old daughter have the worst smelling urine? She is GF/DF/Egg free for 1 yr. Diet has helped so much with her Tourettes/OCD, but she has had this bad smelling urine since 2 yrs old. It is not dehydration, cuz she only drinks water all day long. My second question is, why does my daughter see spots of colors and ringing in her ears? This is causing anxiety in her when it happens. Thank you again for everything! -Lisa Chris: Good morning doctor Cabral. My name is Chris a Fitness professional for the last 16 years. My question is about whether or not compression athletic apparel actually is beneficial in any way in regards to injury prevention, recovery etc... or is it all just marketing hype to sell the newest trend in fitness apparel. Thank you for taking my question. Love the podcast I find the information you share very benficial for both myself and my clients. Keep up the good work! Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, Grateful for all your insight and having the option to submit questions! I am wondering a couple things about hair. My hair is very greasy. I typically have to shower daily because by 24 hours it is very greasy. My husband is also experiencing a lot of flakes in his scalp and hair. We have noticed it is happening on his eyebrows and some flakes and patchy dry spots on his face. Both are things I am curious if their is an underlying cause to that comes to your mind. Thank you! Taylor Tammy: Hi Dr. Cabral, could you explain what is the root problem and how to heal Meniere's disease? Thank you so much for all you do!-Tammy Anna: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you a million times for all of the good info you share. I am so grateful for the role you play in keeping my family healthy. I am constantly learning new things from you! I have several child related questions I would love your take on. If a 2 year old has food allergies and eczema I understand it could be candida and/or leaky gut, but how do we fix this assuming we can't just do the candida protocol and a 21 day detox? Can you outline a hypothetical program to help? If this question is too taboo for the podcast please feel free to email me instead. After much research I have recently concluded that vaccines are no longer in the best interest of our family. We have experienced too many side effects, but I am wondering what products and dosage (ex: 2 yo or 8 yo) you recommend for children to detox and see if these side effects can be lessened. Examples of side effects: food sensitivity, extreme moodiness, short attention span, prone to pneumonia (this one is scary!) Thanks again! Kerry: I'm addicted to this podcast! Short and sweet, can you give me the low down on sprouted food i.e.:Ezekiel bread, sprouted pepitas etc. Worth it? Meg: Hi there! I'm interested in learning more about testing / wellness consultations, but I'm not sure where to start or what test I should take. I have been feeling "off" since the beginning of the year. My symptoms are anxiety, IBS which makes it hard to eat enough, and recently an acne outbreak on my back, which has never happened. I've been meditating daily, and I eat a pretty healthy diet. Thank you! Thank you for tuning into today's #CabralConcept and I look forward to answering more of our community questions tomorrow! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/477 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

472: You Have to Believe (MM)

It's great to have goals and it's great to want to achieve something that you've never done before, but there's a reason why most people (greater than 9 out of 10) never achieve their goals... The reason for this is that they lack a certain system of moving them forward into their "goal achievement" state... This goes beyond developing a plan and taking action. It's a prerequisite for anyone trying something new for the very first time...

471: Essential Oils, Parasites/SIBO/Candida Protocol, Magnetic Bracelets, CBD Anti-bacterial properties, Ramadan Diet, Cirrhosis, Superfood Overwhelm (HouseCall)

Welcome back to the 2nd edition of this weekend's Cabral #HouseCall! I'm looking forward to answering our community's questions and we have some amazing ones today, so let's get started! Rebekah: Hi doc! Is it scientifically to proved that the soles of your feet can absorb particularly oils for medicinal benefits. Someone told me that if I rubbed cilantro essential oil on my soles I could get the detoxifying effects of the cilantro just by my feet absorbing it. Also, I'd love to know your opinion or vaccines if you don't already have a podcast of them. Thanks for all you do, you have a big heart! Jennifer: Hello Doctor! If you have SIBO AND candida AND PARASITES what should you do first? Also, I heard you say no garlic for sibo but garlic is in all the intestinal parasite methods/supplements and it supposed to be great at killing them..... Lastly is it smart to take glutamine at night before bed daily as part of maintenance? I do feel gassy when I take garlic, but I will do anything to get rid of the parasites. Please advise/help thank you J Shahna: Dr. Cabral, enjoying everything I hear and continue to be grateful for the information and passion you convey. So excited for your book. Two-parter question, if you are able and willing... 1) what is your opinion on magnets and negative ion bracelet such as ion loop. They also have a watch. Hype? Legit? 2) Could you please direct me to the show for help with Lyme's disease for my husband? I thought he was improving without a rash of antibiotic treatment, the typical treatment, but I am getting worried as he occasionally says he feels achiness radiate throughout his body, not centralized. Thank you for your energy and passion. Most sincerely, SHAH - nah Tom: Hello Dr. Cabral I'm just following up with my question from instagram: Does CBD oil have any anti candida/bacterial overgrowth properties? Thanks!   Anon: Hi Stephen, Love your podcast and the amount of knowledge you have and share! I am a 27 year-old health-conscious Muslim female in Toronto, Canada and am going to be fasting for Ramadan starting May 26, 2017 (4:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. approximately - 16 hours) for a month for religious purposes (which are ultimately for optimal health and spiritual wellbeing). What do you recommend I eat during this time (and anything else you recommend) so that I have enough energy to last through the day at work, avoid brain fog and lose body fat without losing muscle mass? I am not sure if you are familiar, but I cannot eat or drink anything (including water) during the times stated so I want to fuel well during the times I can eat/drink and I am planning to workout (slowly lift weights/resistance train) 3 times a week during the day to retain muscle and get some exercise. Thank you in advance! Ewa: Hello, our good friend got cirrhosis of the liver due to medication and alcohol. He have had almost all the known symptoms since last summer and just now going thro major back surgery, fusing last 5 discs they found out about his liver. Just heard your natural detox pod- thanks, what else do you recommend in this case? So appreciate your view on health and healing !! Thanks for everything you do! Ewa Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral, Love, love, love your podcast!! Thank you for all the awesome information you share each day!! I've been interested in my own health and wellness for a while, although I fell 'offtrack' a bit while dealing with all the life changes and busyness associated with getting married and moving, but I'm now back to making my health (and my new husband's) a priority. One thing I've always wondered is how am I supposed to consume *all* of the healthy foods during the course of a day/week/month? If I regularly ate everything which has been found to be good for my health, I think I'd not only be eating all of the time, but I'd also get to be as big as a house! Ha! For instance, we all know certain nuts provide certain nutrients and health benefits, but we all also know nuts tend to be high in calories. I'm not a member of the 'all calories are the same' camp, but I do know that for me too many calories each week will make me gain weight over time, regardless of how much I workout. Even if we completely eliminate all grains from our diet (we try our best) eating avocados, nuts, lean grassfed meats, lots of veggies, leafy greens, flax and chia seeds, the list of healthy foods goes on and on, can become overwhelming on a daily/weekly basis. Do you have any suggestions for how best to prioritize quantity and frequency when it comes to healthy foods? Your recent podcast about how/when to take vitamins & supplements was very helpful. Perhaps you have a similar podcast related to foods? Thanks in advance for your guidance! Your willingness to share your knowledge is a blessing to many!  Thank you for joining this weekend's Q&A and I hope you enjoyed all the tips added in along the way! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/471 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

470: Thyroid Hybernation, Genotype Test, Bad Probiotics, Fungal Overgrowth, Strep Throat, UTI (HouseCall)

Thank you for joining me on today's first Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! Let's get right into this week's community questions: Yanina: Hi Dr! Could u plz send me link of podcast were u explain how to get back to incorporating carbs after a low carb diet? We checked the hybernation low thyroid and it is what my mom is sufferingn from! Her thyroid is 1.5!!!! Thanks!   Belinda: Hi There, I would like to order from the online store but live in The Republic of Ireland. Is it possible to have supplements shipped? The form doesn't let me complete my order due to no available shipping method for Ireland. Thanks   Kimberly: Hi Stephen! Love your show, listen to it every day! I have a question - I am a sperm donor baby and do not have any information on who my biological father is - no health history, no cultural history, nothing. I am wondering if you know of any way I can possibly get some insight in to my health background - would you recommend a genetic profiling test or any others? Looking for as close to comprehensive as I can get. Thanks!   Jenn: I just listened to a podcast where you did not recommend probiotics while healing and sealing the gut. Why is that? Edward: Hi, Dr Cabral. Big fan of your podcast, and I did actually already ask you a question, recently, relating to LPR, and how to treat it. You were kind enough to respond, and, as always, you gave excellent advice, but I have one follow-up question, if that's not too cheeky. You mentioned candida, as a possible factor in LPR, and I have to admit that this was my first suspicion: I have, over the past 10-15 years, had recurring fungal infections on my skin (chest, neck, shoulders, and pubic region) and frequent bouts of athletes foot. I've also craved (and eaten) sugary foods on daily basis my entire life. Additionally, I've had abdominal bloating and depression/anxiety for years. I don't drink or smoke. When my LPR symptoms started, I went on a candida diet which did help with the fungal infections but hasn't, really, helped lessen my LPR symptoms. Does it just take time, or am I barking up the wrong tree. Once again, sorry for asking another question, but this is such a stressful thing to be going through, and it's so hard to know whether I'm doing the right thing or not. The advice of regular MDs has been USELESS. I have been on a (mostly) gluten-free, dairy-free, zero-sugar diet for about two months, and I am just starting on an herbal anti-fungal medication: I had to ease off on the antifungal as I started too aggressively and had, what I assume must have been, horrendous die-off symptoms. I worry that I'm not doing enough/the right thing. Anyway, any further advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Edward. Kevin: Dr Cabral, Recently, our 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with strep throat and was prescribed an antibiotic. And it occurred to us...we know to avoid these, but (a) what would you do instead and (b) are their some fairly common ailments that you suggest going ahead with the antibiotic? Thanks for all that you do. Tania: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you again for all of your fantastic work. I have written into you before, and your response was extremely helpful. Also, I have done the Dr. Cabral Detox, and recently received the food sensitivity test for my birthday, which I cannot wait to take! Also, I apologize for this very long and detailed question: I am writing in on behalf of my mother. She is almost 50 years old, and for the last 30 years, she has suffered from chronic Urinary Tract Infections (about 3-4 times per year), and has been on and off various antibiotics since they began. Otherwise, she is quite healthy, is not overweight, and does not take any other medications. She does drink about 2 cups of coffee a day, and she eats about 2 - 3 oz of cheese every day (in spite of our recommendations to avoid them). Also, she consumes a lot of wheat - mostly whole grain, but not always. She typically gets UTI flare-ups after intercourse, and her symptoms can be debilitating. Because of this, she is quick to take antibiotics, merely because she cannot function. Her MD has never offered any other solutions, but she would like to avoid taking antibiotics in the future. My sister and I have explained the detrimental effects of prolonged antibiotics usage to her. She has been told by numerous medical professionals, that she is prone to UTI's because of the anatomical position of her Urinary Tract. On another note, she recently went to the hospital with abdominal pain, which she thought was a side effect of a bad UTI. Upon a CT scan, and an MRI, they found some rather large (yet simple) cysts on her liver, pleura, and kidney. She has seen numerous specialists, and the doctors have determined that the pleural cyst is benign. Lastly, she has small gallstones, but her MRI report insights no features of acute cholecystitis. What do you suggest for her to deal with her chronic UTI's, and multiple cysts? Knowing my mother, doing a restrictive detox would be very difficult for her. She has also mentioned having circulatory issues with occasional numbness in her limbs. Thank you so much in advance. Thank you for joining me today and I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow on our 2nd HouseCall of the weekend! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/470 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Most people have been told it's simply not possible to spot reduce their belly fat...

466: How to Use CBD Oil to Heal Dozens of Dis-Eases (TWT)

It's very rare that any nutritional supplement has such a noticeable effect the first time you use it... Typically, it takes weeks for the effects to be felt, and even then they are subtle... This is not the case with CBD Oil. You feel it the very first time you try it... It feels like a wave of relaxation and relief over your body, which is why it has such a great healing effect on everything from stress, anxiety, addiction, inflammation, mood, sleep, and so much more... Keep in mind, this is done through the powerful effect of natural, plant-based, cannabinoids (the active component of CBD) and not through THC when you smoke cannabis (which is what gives you a psychoactive "high")...

464: Joints Pop, Prebiotics Scam, IgE vs. IgG, Grapeseed Oil, Red Bumps on Skin, Weak Gut Problems (HouseCall)

We're back with our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to answering all of our community's questions today and here they are: Stephanie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast! Thank you for providing listeners with this valuable info. For a bit of background: I'm active and try to maintain a healthy diet. I stretch every day and am fairly flexible, however for past few years, I've noticed that all of my bones crack. I was never that kid in grade school who could crack her knuckles, yet now (in my late 20's), everything from my hips, ankles, wrists, knuckles, neck... never seem to stop cracking. I'm embarrassed in yoga when trying poses because the cracking can be quite loud... What do you suspect this is a sign / symptom of, and what would you recommend I do? Thank you! Tanya: Hello. Questions on pre/pro biotics! >Are prebiotics necessary to getting better while suffering with sibo/yeast/bacteria/parasites? >Which one do you recommend and when to take, I have heard am before breakfast or pm before bed. This always confuses me. > Can you tae your pre and pro biotic supplement at the same time? > I may purchase Doctor X's a scam? He has a crazy video on the internet. He says more important than pro biotic to help fix gut flora. tank you Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am wondering your suggestions to avoid die off symptoms from your parasite cleanse and candida protocol. I tend to get constipated when the die off happens causing miserable symptoms. What are your suggestions to keep the bowels moving & prevent die off? Thanks! Erica: I have a question in regard to the Food Sensitivity Test page. It's mentioned that igG is being tested, however the Sample Report shows for igE. Are both being tested? Thanks for your help. Cassi: Hi Stephen - thank you so much for allowing our learning to never stop! I actually have 2 questions that kind of tie together. 1. I eat about 90% of my vegetables by oven roasting them. I typically do 2 tbsp of grapeseed oil, whatever spices I feel I want and then roast at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or so. I find this is the easiest way to cook them and honestly I love the taste that oven roasting brings out in the vegetables. Additionally, I find that when I eat a lot of raw vegetables I get a lot of bloating and gas, so eating cooked veggies also makes me feel better. So my question is whether this is a "healthy" way to get in all my vegetable if this is the main way i'm eating them. What are additional things to consider? 2. My second question goes back to me not feeling well when I eat raw vegetables. I am currently going through your candida protocol because I decided that based on a myriad of symptoms I most likely have overgrowth. I don't have a specific questions, but I want to bring up that I feel this is in part due to me having an eating disorder for several years. I have been in recovery for about 8 years now, but for a year at the age of 17 had severe anorexia (would eat about once every 2-3 days) and then from around 18-23 had severe bulimia with my binges being about every 5-7 days, and purge the remainder of the time. I also took laxatives every week and got up to needing 8 at a time before the pills affected me. I am sure there are several listeners who have also suffered through this terrible disorder, and just want to bring it up as i'm curious what long-term side effects this has had on my body. I've always be sure this has affected my digestion system, but every time I have brought it up or asked my PCP (I've had both an MD and DO) they seem to dodge or talk around the question. Can you talk about this? Thank you, thank you in advance!   MariEllen: Thanks for always answering all of our questions. I am so happy you take time out of your day, everyday to give all of your listeners helpful advice to be our best selfs everyday. For about the past 6-8 months, I have had the most intense itchy sensations all over both of my legs. They are little raised bumps that I can itch until they bleed. They are literally only on my legs and I do not consume dairy or gluten. When I itch, I get big and red blotchy irritations around the area. Kyle: Hi Stephen! I've been on a bit of a personal health journey the last 2 years trying to figure out what is wrong with me and I recently discovered your podcast. I have to say, you are absolutely brilliant and I really appreciate all the work you do for people. I'm learning so much from you and am now annoying family and friends with constant information I'm learning! 2 years ago, I got food poisoning on holiday and got very sick. The local doctor filled me with antibiotics and I was up and running again. However since then I have never been the same. I go through periods of running to the toilet 5 or so times per day and not to be too graphic, but each time I go, it gets more mucus or bile like. Through personal research and your podcast I have come to realise I probably have a very weak gut, from a difficult childhood, to taking antibiotics prescribed for acne for years and a pretty rubbish diet. I have tried many methods to try and resolve it including your clean gut probiotic. However I seem to get temporary improvements, but not had a long term cure. My GP seems more interested in curing my symptoms unfortunately rather than helping me find the cause. And I am now back to square one. Would you recommend your candida protocol or something else? I also have other symptoms like bad allergies, recurring fungal nail infections, constant running/blocked nose thin hair, sudden bouts of fatigue, not sure if this is related to my gut in one way or another. Any way you can help is greatly appreciated. I hope my question isn't too long. I know you like your 20 minute podcast time limit haha ! Thank you very much for taking some time to listen to me All the best, Kyle I hope you enjoyed this weekend's Q&A and all the tips added in along the way! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/464 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

463: Sinus Issues, Cherry Angiomas, Can't Sweat, Enlarged Prostate, Prop 65, Silicone Side Effects, Cerebral Palsy, Raynaud's, Translucent Teeth (HouseCall)

I hope you had a great week and are ready to get started with this weekend's first Cabral HouseCall where we answer our community's questions! Here is today's Q&A:  Sinjin: Hello Dr. Cabral and team! First off thank you all so much for making these podcasts happen! I am a new listener and have been learning so much from your talks and really enjoying the open mindedness you have with health and individuality. So, thank you! I am going to tell you a little bit of my story so my questions can hopefully be easily answered and explained appropriately! I am a 25 year old male and have been slowly over the past few years starting to understand how important it is to be taking my health more seriously and looking at healing with a holistic approach. I have been struggling with asthma my whole life it seems, using inhalers and different medications on and off. As I get older I seem to have very high anxiety outbursts when it comes to health issues, thinking that I have the worst of the worst. I have realized by changing my diet to more plant based I have not had much breathing problems. When I was in college I got bronchitis pretty bad and was put on antibiotics for about a month straight and none of them seemed to work. I ended up somehow healing that by switching my diet briefly and using different herbal remedies. Not sticking with a plant based diet I was constantly having these reoccurring lung problems. About a year ago I got a sinus infection pretty bad and tried to work through it but ended up going to the doctor and got put on antibiotics that again, that didn’t work. So, I decided to just figure it out on my own and it got pretty bad and I started to get swollen lymph nodes. I also was experiencing burning sensations in the back of my throat every morning. So, I went to a different doctor, which explained that I have LPR and a bacterial overgrowth in my sinuses. I was put on two different prescriptions and given more antibiotics. I was also seeing an acupuncturist who explained that I didn’t need to take the antibiotics and that I could heal this with a diet change (no dairy or sugar) and lemon water basically. This seemed to help very much but still no cure. I took the prescriptions for a while but never took the antibiotic that was prescribed. I also got blood work done to make sure the swollen lymph nodes weren’t a sign of something different. My blood work came back great the doctor said except I was slightly vitamin D deficient, but nothing to worry about and just to get a little more sun. He felt I had high anxiety as well. I have been taking an internship in the Florida keys for a little over a month and haven’t been to the doctor. I did a 10 day fast before I came down here and have been on a plant based diet since I have been down here as well. My asthma seems pretty well suppressed and I use a netti pot at least once a day, which has been managing my sinus infection and congestion. I just started your ENT protocol about a week ago but I still experience congested nose in the morning and see a little bit of yellow in my morning snot after using the netti pot. I also still have the swollen lymph nodes in my neck. There are about 8 that I can feel and I have noticed them for almost a year now (no idea how long they have been swollen, maybe longer!). As I continue to experiment with this new diet change, I notice that I have really bad smelling gas as well and this isn’t a new occurrence either. This has been going on for a few years as well. From all the podcasts I have listened to of yours I feel that I probably have candida or bacterial overgrowth in my gut and feel that you will recommend the candida protocol. I am hoping you could give me an explanation about the swollen lymph nodes as well as what you think will really help clear up all this congestion and sinus infection for good. Within the past year I have also started to notice that I have been gaining new moles and also cherry angiomas and am wondering what causes these to appear. If you can recommend any practitioners within your field near the Florida Keys or a website to find reliable holistic doctors and dentists that would be so much help! I know these are a lot of questions and I know you have podcasts that touch on these. I will listen through more to continue learning. Thank you so much for doing podcasts and spreading your wealth of knowledge! Many of us have a lot to learn about the truth of medicine and what we can do to really start living optimally. We all are constantly learning and yourself and people alike really motivate me to stay positive and work on my health in a holistic way. Keep up the great work and thank you so much for answering so many of our questions! I’ll be listening! Questions How to heal asthma and anxiety? What is causing the swollen lymph nodes?*** How to totally beat this sinus infection and congestion?*** What can I do to not have stinky gas constantly? Where can I find holistic practitioners near me?*** What causes cherry angiomas and can I get rid of them? Anon: Hi Dr Cabral, I have had trouble sweating for as long as I can remember. I only sweat from my head / hairline. After an intense workout, my head will be full of sweat... but the rest of my body will be dry. I know I am working out hard enough to break a sweat (I wear a heart rate monitor, and hit zones 4 and 5.). Why do you think this happen? Do you have any recommendations on how to balance this? CC: Hello, My husband has an enlarged prostate. He has zero sex drive, but cannot take testosterone due to his issue. Is there anything he can try homeopathically? We are far too young not to have sex anymore. You are awesome and I love your show! Toni: Hello! I have been using MACA powder in my smoothies, coffee every day due to the female estrogen dominant health benefits. I just recently saw in fine print on the package “This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.” and then under that it says "EAT IN GOOD HEALTH" WHAT?! (brand is sold at whole foods, it is organic from navitas naturals) Is this something to be worried about? Do you recommend MACA as an added daily boost to a baseline healthy diet? I love the flavor and texture it gives my coffee and oatmeal. Thanks! Anon: Hi Doctor Cabral, I have a "medical grade" silicone implant in my face, of my doing. I wasn't happy with my appearance. How do feel about this material inside the human body? Supposedly it will last a lifetime and have no effects whatsoever. Now that I am more into health, I may be regretting my decision to do this...... Any thoughts welcomes to help put me at ease...or not. thank you Mary: Thank you for your help! I love your podcast! Do you have any thoughts on cerebral palsy? Any recommendations for treatment? Mary: Hi again! Do you have any suggestion for managing or healing Raynaud's? Suzanne: My front teeth top and bottom are becoming very translucent. My partner actually pointed this out as very noticeable as did my parents. They look gray. Almost 1/2 of the tooth. How can I stop/fix this? I do battle with candida etc and get heartburn a lot. Will I have to get veneers? Anyway to naturally help this or fix this. What causes this? (I am 33 years old, drink coffee in am and wine on weekends) Sincerely, Suzanne I hope you enjoyed today's Q&A and I'll be back tomorrow with another Cabral HouseCall! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/463 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

If you're going to invest in products to improve your health, you may as well maximize their results by fine-tuning your regimen...

Believe it or not, some supplements should ONLY be taken in the morning or exclusively at night, and some will have NO effect if swallowed with food...

So today, on #CabralConcept 459 I'll be sharing the protocols for getting the most out of your nutritional supplements so that you can achieve your goals of wellness, body transformation, or anti-aging - Enjoy the show! - - -  Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/459 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

458: You Must Figure Out Your ONE Thing (MM)

Too often we get weighed down by everything we feel we need to accomplish or fix in our life... It happens to all of us. However, unless you come up with a proven strategy you'll end up never truly achieving anything and you'll be left with a pile of half-done "should have's.." This then leads to anxiety, overwhelm, and irritability from the realization that although you're busy moving forward, you've never actually arrived at any destination... This philosophy applies to every area of our life - be it our wellness, body, career, relationships, family, etc. There are many things we need to tend to in life, but we can't do them all at once... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 458 to figure out the best strategy to begin to live a life of happiness, fulfillment, and of reaching your peak potential! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/458 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

457: POTS, Hip Osteoarthritis, Itchy Palms, Heal Your Gut, Live Blood Analysis, Detox Methods, Depression (HouseCall)

  I hope you enjoyed yesterday's Cabral HouseCall and are ready to answer 8 more of our community's questions! Here is today's Q&A: Carolyn: Hello, my son has a story very similar to your own health journey. He was healthy until age 12 when he suddenly became so sick that he was virtually in bed for the next 4 years. Finally after 22 specialists, he was diagnosed with mastcell activation syndrome and POTS (dysautonomia.) He has all sorts of stomach issues, and I just put him on your candida cleanse and then we will start your gut fixer. Is there anything he can do to help with the constant need for water do to low blood volume from POTS, plus the chronic fatigue and other dysautonomic problems. He is does not seem to be effected by histamines, so I feel his problem is more POTS related. God Bless you and thank you! Bettina: Thank you so much for your outstanding information and podcast. I look forward to listening to it every day. Its the thing that gets me out of bed every morning at 5am! I would love your advice on my husbands condition. He's 45 now, but in his 20's he suffered a football injury in his thigh which didn't seem too severe at the time but now at the age of 45 he has hip problems, which seems to be a knock on effect of his body compensating for the injury. He has pain in his hip that is sometimes acute. He can walk without hindrance but it does bring him frequent pain. His doctor conducted an MRI and diagnosed osteoarthritis in his hip which will progressively get worse until he needs a hip replacement in his early 50's. I had him work with a chiropractor who gave him a series of exercises that have helped and he actually does do them quite regularly. But recently when he went back to the doctor to check on the progress, the diagnosis was still the same, an early hip replacement. His diet is pretty clean, except for maybe a little bit of dairy with his homemade granola in the morning. Lots and lots of vegetables with a small amount of occasional protein. Very low sugar, if any. I heard you mention Devil's claw in a recent podcast. Maybe I should try him with that for the pain. What would you recommend for him? I would love to at least extend the possibility of him having a hip replacement and possibly eliminate the need altogether, with the right treatment. Thanks for all you do!!! Christine: Dear Dr Cabral, I cannot thank you enough for your help regarding my „German Fatique“! I am following your advice and slowly start feeling better, which is such a great relieve. This time I am contacting you on behalf of my husband. Since about two months he is having a strange itch on the palms of his hands and his fingers. There is no redness, no little blisters, just something that looks like „thicker skin“, which could also be a result from his ongoing scratching. I do not know what came first. When he starts scratching the itch gets worse and of course the skin gets red then. I wonder if it is a contact allergy or a food allergy. Or something completely different? Do you have any idea? I am thankful for any suggestion! Best regards, Christine (Lectins or food allergies of some type) Lisa: Hi Stephen I have suffered with migraines for the last 4/5 years. Over the last 12/24 months they have become a lot more frequent and I am getting them at least 1/2 per month. I medicate with 50mg of Sumatriptan. I am feeling at the end of my tether and went to see my GP about it today, but she simply prescribed more Sumatriptan and also a 3 month course of Beta Blockers (Propranolol). She said that there is no cure for migraines we simply have to manage them. I also mentioned that I have digestive problems (constipation - despite a healthy diet and a nutritionist recently tested my stomach acid and advised it was low) - I was prescribed a laxative. What are you views on taking beta blockers, even if just for a short period - I am really at the end of my tether! I have also just started working with a registered nutritionist she advised that my zinc levels are low (even though I take 50mg per day) and is looking at balancing my blood sugar, supporting my liver and gut health and has prescribed the following supplements: Betaine and Pepsin (10mg); Cytoplan CoQ10 Multivit and Mineral complex, blackcurrent seed oil and adding ground flaxseed to my morning smoothie and other meals throughout the day. I also take a probiotic, and magnesium citrate and zine before bed. Any suggestions/advise would be really appreciated. Thank you so much. Alex: Hi Dr Cabral, I've listened to your podcasts about food sensitivity, healing your gut, and allergies / hives... I agree and believe in your concepts about the origin of these problems and treating them. I'm hoping you can help explain where to start among all your recommendations. I have suffered from hives (and eczema) for over 7 years. They are unpredictable and sporadic - sometimes multiple times a day, sometimes nothing for a few weeks. I've tried eliminating things from my diet, stopped taking any medications (antihistamines, birth control), and most recently did a 10-day detox (not a Cabral detox, but a doctor monitored detox followed by probiotics), but still having reoccurring hives! I also have developed some digestion problems in the past year - frequent feelings of bloating and fullness. I believe that it is all connected, but don't know what to treat first. Do you suggest doing the Food Sensitivity testing first... and then eliminating the items my body sensitive to? Or, would you recommend doing Bacteria & Candida Protocol to clean and restore the gut first? Thanks in advance! Larissa: Hi, I was wondering what your thoughts were on Live Blood Cell Analysis? A lot of holistic nutritionists and Naturopaths seem to be for it but it seems like traditional Doctors are against it. Thanks, Larissa Pauline: Hello! Question #1: Im currently detoxing using a particular supplement ***(Its Davinci benefits line liver support perhaps you don't want to say the name on your podcast)***. Even taking a low dose of this product I get super nauseous or fiery heartburn that doesn't go away. I thought it might be the "healing crisis" but it lasted for about two weeks. I've read horror stories of people taking chlorella violently projectile vomiting/hospitalizations etc. This product has cracked cell chlorella in it along with many other herbs/mineral/vitamins.... Now, I'm literally taking 1/6 of the recommended dose every other day could it be the chlorella that makes me feel so ill? Or could it be that my liver is that full of junk?! I don't work around heavy metals, chemicals, and I've cut out just about all processed food! question #2: is there a way to detox at a cellular level without supplements (i.e. will sweating, eating clean organic, drinking filtered water... etc) I love the idea of detoxing and want it to be part of my yearly routine but I almost want nothing to do with it if it makes me feel sick. Scott: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for your podcasts, and sharing your wealth of knowledge. My girlfriend introduced me and is always forwarding me helpful information. I have two topics I was hoping you could address: I am 30 years old, fit, active and eat well. I suffer from depression. I am not at risk of hurting myself, but I am constantly feeling down. I try so hard to have a positive outlook on life, but constantly feel tired and depressed. I don't want to go on antidepressants. I was hoping you could help me sort out some natural alternatives besides exercise. The second is tonsil stones. They gross me out so much. I have recently started extracting them, but feel like lately they are there every day! Is there any way to get rid of them? Thanks again so so much for all that you do for everyone! Thank you for your support of the Cabral Concept and I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow on our Motivation & Mindset Monday show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/457 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

456: Manuka Honey, Endometriosis, Malasma, Lupus, Anti-Depressants, Migraines, Vaginal Discharge (HouseCall)

I hope you're enjoying the weekend and welcome back to our Cabral HouseCalls! Today's we've got 8 great community questions that I'm looking forward to answering! Elizabeth: Hello! Quick question: Do you reco raw honey, specifically manuka at night with chopped up raw garlic for stomach issues, health in general and as part of a parasite cleanse? I heard this is extremely beneficial, the garlic and honey together. Or is garlic chopped up in coconut oil better, so much info out there it is overwhelming. Also what are your thoughts on manuka honey daily in water? Thank you. Anon: Hi Dr Cabral, My sister has endometriosis and is considering having surgery. (It could be hereditary). I have read that DIM-Plus is very good for endometriosis to balance out oestrogen? Not sure if you have answered in your podcasts before about this and wondered what your thoughts were? Thank you and thanks for your great podcasts! Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral. I just had a skype consultation with you and can't wait to get even healthier!!! Thank you for dedicating your time to help others. I pray and send well wishes your way daily. My question: I've been suffering from melasma since my mid 20s. At the time it started I was on birth control and constantly in the sun. Now obviously I stay out of the sun as much as possible to avoid it from darkening. Sun, heat, and also my period can contribute to its darkening at times. I'm assuming this is mainly an internal hormone issue. Do you have a protocol you can share for dealing with melasma... INTERNALLY & TOPICALLY. I have read many different things that may help, including vitamin C. Also can you share links for any products or information you recommend for this. Thank you for your time. Mary: I have lupus and was wondering if you have any information on this, whether it means managing it or recovering from it and no longer having it. On a related note, is there a way to increased complement levels (C3 and C4) in your lab work? Thank you! I am grateful for your show and the wonderful information! Mary: Can you suggest a protocol for weaning off anti-depressants? Sharon: Dr. Cabral, My husband has night sweats. They range from not so bad to soaking wet; the sheets, the mattress cover, everything. He practices extremely good self care. Great diet, freshly squeezed juices, exercises daily. He currently has no known health issues. Can you help me understand this? Thanks for your great podcasts. Sharon Kavita: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have been following you on instagram and listening to your podcasts a lot lately! Your work and knowledge makes a lot of sense to me. I am always looking for natural remedies for all problems health and body related, love ayurveda and on my path to regaining my health and weight. All that being said I have been troubled by terrible migraines since the last 4 yrs, first they were premenstrual and now they are post :( They are debilitating and leave me helpless. I have tried meds, Sumitriptan works best but want to get off it too!! My struggle with weight loss still continues and need help with these 2 problems!! Will be waiting.Thanks Yvonne: Hi dr, I would like to ask about hormone imbalance and if it is connected to whitish discharge from my vagina. I'm 28 this year. I'm currently having many acne on the chin area with slightly dark patch armpits. Whitish discharge was since last year with no itchiness but when I have sex, it's painful. No burning sensation or bleeding. Thank you for ur time. Thank you for tuning nto today's #CabralConcept and I look forward to answering our community's questions again on tomorrow's 2nd #HouseCall of the weekend! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/456 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

452: What Drug Companies Don’t Want You to Know About CBD Oil (TWT)

It's taken me a long time to actually come around to the thought of using CBD Oil as a nutraceutical in my Functional Medicine practice... I would have liked to have looked into it much sooner, but the legalities and government lockdowns on Naturopathic practitioners using it was too much to contend with... The issue of course is that CBD oil (cannabinoids) are so incredibly powerful for healing the human body (in both children and adults - and even animals!) that not even the government could keep it under wraps any longer... The great news is that CBD Oil is now available legally in all 50 states in the US and much of the world. The bad news is that BigPharma is trying to patent and alter certain strains so that it can make it available as a prescription drug... Today, I'd like to share with you my 6-month experiment using CBD Oil (no THC=No high) and how it's benefited my sleep, inflammation, and mood. Plus, I'll list which health conditions (and at what dosage) CBD Oil is most successful at helping to heal...

451: How to Minimize & Overcome "Growing Pains" (MM)

It happens to all of us... Anyone that's ever tried to break free of the chains that have been holding them back to a certain level in life has experienced "Growing Pains." The reason for this is 2-fold... Our brain sends signals of anxiety, overwhelm, and apprehension to our body to keep us in our comfort zone. It may not be a particularly happy place, but at least we're familiar with it and have learned to cope... The 2nd reason we feel growing pains is that we're exploring unchartered territory for ourselves. This can be scary and we often fail at first, which is why so few end up going on to accomplish what they truly desire in life... Unfortunately, these growing pains can prevent you from ultimately living a life of purpose and feeling like what you do and who you are matters... Tune into to today's #CabralConcept 451 for details on how to minimize and overcome these growing pains as quickly as possible- Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/451 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

450: Castor Oil, Acne Causes, Rhinitis, Oregano, Detox Reactions, What I Eat (HouseCall)

Jessie: Thanks for your podcast on castor oil packs. Other castor questions: - Do you recommend this topically for scarring on face? How much? - Do you recommend a tablespoon of castor oil at night, to keep bowl movements going during a cleanse, or in general day to day life. I have been hearing very beneficial daily. - Can you rub on your abdomen as lotion at night, if you don't have time for the pack? Still beneficial?       Heather: Hi Dr Cabral, First want to thank you for your free podcasts, my husband and I have made some serious changes since starting your daily podcasts. I have been dealing with forehead acne for almost 6 years(post getting off-implanon birth control) , the acne that is tiny bumps all throughout the forehead, sometimes jawline and back of neck which never come to a head just stay under the skin. I have been to dermatologists and have been prescribed each time , topical clindomyicin and minocycline which caused irregular periods so I had to stop but continued the topical which seemed to work until a couple months later all returned. I regularly do a coconut oil cleanse for removing makeup/daily toxins and have gotten rid of all harsh soaps, limit makeup use and have cut gluten, dairy and eggs and nothing seems to help fully clear it up. I am currently not on any medications, workout regularly and just started your detox. Is there anything else I could do to finally rid this acne? Thank you in advance for your advice, Heather       CC: Hi Dr Cabral, I have two quick questions; my nose is guaranteed to always run in hot or cold temperatures (i.e. outside cold weather or taking a hot shower, eating hot soup, spices etc) what would be the cause of this, as far as I'm aware I have no allergies, it's purely temperature related? Also I wonder what your view is on CBD oil and if there are any brands that you are in favour of? Thanks so much, excellent show!       Joe: Hey Dr. Cabral, I was wondering what you thought of oil of oreganofor a daily "tonic". I hear one side say its selective and doesn't kill good bacteria and that you could even make kefir with it. And then you have the other side saying it will destroy your good gut bacteria. Also I have been working on fixing adrenal fatigue from a anti candida diet and tried taking adaptogens like ashwaganda and rhodiola and got severe insomnia and just felt like i couldn't shut my body down. I know these aren't for everyone and people react differently, wasn't sure if it was that or it was adapting to handle some underlying stressors in my body. Thanks. Really appreciate you answering everyones questions. Your the man!       Misty: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been listening to your podcast for several months now. I have even gone back and listened to the previous shows. My question is about detoxing. About 10 years ago I started taking a real interest in my health. I am a ethical vegan who tries to follow a planet based diet but does occasionally indulge in some vegan junk food. I have tried to do a several different detoxes. The first I was introduced to was the master cleanse. I tried it and failed miserably. Each detox I've tried I have thought was more sophisticated and healthier detox than the previous. The last one I tried was your seven day detox. With all of the detoxes I get to either the end of day two or the beginning of day three and I end up with a massive migraine that usually involves Extreme pain, light sensitivity, vomiting, and diarrhea. I am very good about drinking plenty of water during the detox. I stopped the seven day detox at the end of day three. I was about 6 weeks postop from a hysterectomy and was afraid that the vomiting would disrupt some of the stitches I still had on the inside. I would like to complete the seven day detox. What advice do you have for me? With love and admiration, Misty     Ms. Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for the valuable information you share!!! I have a question about the 7-day detox. I'm currently on day 3 and I have some interesting side effects and I'm hoping you can tell me if they're normal. I ate my vegetarian lunch (salad) and within two hours, I had an urgent, yellow, liquid, BM that had green bits (my salad!) in it. My stomach doesn't hurt. I feel great. In fact, I feel almost euphoric, very energetic. Is this normal??? I will mention I'm drinking more tea than I normally do but not excessive. Thanks again!!       Anon: hello! thankyou for all your advice, I would love to hear a "What I Eat in a Day" Dr Cabral style! What you eat on a regular basis for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Do you have healthy desert? thank you   I hope you enjoyed today's Q&A and all the tips added in along the way!   - - -   Show Notes:   http://StephenCabral.com/450   - - -   Get Your Question Answered:   http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

449: Immune Boost, Unwanted Hair Growth, Sinus Infection, Colonoscopy, Arthritis, Avocado Overload (HouseCall)

I'm excited to be answering your questions this weekend and can't wait to get started with our first Cabral #HouseCall!   Here are today's communities questions:   Jenn: Hi Dr. Cabral! I will be traveling internationally within the next week and a half and am trying to pump my body up with extra goodness to prevent illness while abroad. I have been using your all in one shake (which is out of stock and I am running out!) and have increased my vitamin c. What else should I add into my daily regimen? Anything I should throw in my backpack besides the vitamin c to take along with me? I am on xarelto, my only medication, for Factor V Leiden, as I have had 2 PE's. I love to integrate natural supplements etc into my life, but am confused at times if they interact with this drug. Thank you so much for your insight!     Vrajhi: Hello Dr. Cabral. I want to first thank you for all that you do. My family has benefitted so much from your podcasts and products... I honestly don't know where we would be without you. That being said, I have a question about facial hair on females. Is it possible at all to get rid of unwanted facial hair growth? I am hoping that once my hormones get rebalanced that it will go away on its own. I have only been dealing with chin hair for maybe 2 or 3 years and it has gotten aggressively worse with everything I've tried to do to get rid of it (which includes waxing, plucking, electrolosis, hair removal creams, etc). Is there a silver lining?       Anon: Hello! My mom gets frequent sinus infections, at least 2x a year and takes antibiotics about 1-2x year for them. She is an elementary teacher and has bad allergies. I tell her not to take the antibiotics but she feels it is the only way she can function and get back to normal. They usually work. How can she wean off of this bad habit, and kick sinus infections naturally. Any advice much welcomed. Also a reminder of what antibiotics do to our bodies. Thank you!       Anon: Hello, My husband has been dealing with excess gas, bloating, mucous in his stool and frequent constpation. We are currently doing your OAT test and food sensitivity test, but I know that those symptoms match the symptoms for colon cancer. I was wondering what your take is on colonoscopies. I know there are real risks associated with the procedure. 1 in 1000 cause death. I've also read that the harsh laxatives they give before procedure cause gut imbalances and there are often false positives and finding/treating tumors that may heal themselves. Would an FOBT be sufficient? Would a simple blood test possibly show if there are any problems? Or is a colonoscopy necessary? Thanks for info       Susan: Hello Dr. Cabral I am an avid listener and love your show. I have learned so much. I am a 52 year old healthy female - approx 10 to 20 lbs overweight I have been active over the years but not consistently. I recently went through menopause and now my hips are aching and certain motions hurt. I went to the doctor and through xrays he says I have arthritis (not sure what kind - but I do have psoriasis) The pain although not severe is somewhat constant. I have no pain in any other joints and am still very flexible for my age. I am concerned about this as I feel 52 is young to start getting arthritis and I do not want to lose my mobility? Help do you have any suggestions. Susan     Ness: Hello! I just want to say thanks, your an absolute legend for sharing all this information for free. I wanted to ask if its possible to eat too much avocado in a day. I eat about 1-2 a day, is this okay because of its high fat content? I don't eat a lot of carbs and try to stay full from healthy fats. Thank you for the work you are doing in the world.   Enjoy your weekend and be sure to join us tomorrow for our 2nd Q&A of the weekend!   - - -    Show Notes:   http://StephenCabral.com/449   - - -   Get Your Question Answered:   http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

444: How to Know When It’s Time to Break Up with Toxic Friends (MM)

Stress is at the core of 95% of all diseases... And much of that stress comes from our relationships: Work, Coworkers, Friends, and Family. Sometimes a relationship that once served you at a certain point in your life, is no longer healthy... You don’t want to be cold and just tell someone that they aren’t good for you, but you do need to take a poll of what happens when you're with certain people or in certain environments: Do you feel stressed, think negatively, eat more, drink more, stay out too late, etc. when you with a certain person or group?

443: Hearing Noises, Cholesterol, Cervical Spondylosis, Parasite, Health Coaching Issues, Low Body Temperature, Panic Attacks & CRPS (HouseCall)

I hope you're enjoying this weekend and that you got to tune into yesterday's Cabral #HouseCall! We're back today with another 8 community questions, so let's get started! Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for answering my questions on your podcast! You are one of a kind and we are all blessed by your time and knowledge you put into your podcasts! My question is, for years when I lay down I would suddenly hear noises. For me it was rock-n-roll music. I could hear words and it was ALWAYS the same song. I personally have NEVER listened to rock-n-roll before and Im pretty confident the song I heard was never an actual song on a radio before. It use to drive me crazy and again, it was only when I laid down. This lasted for at least 8 years but it suddenly stopped. My 9 year old daughter has the same problem but for her its not music, rather it's just beeping, clicking noises she hears when laying down. I feel bad for her because it truly bothers her. Have you ever came across people who only hear noises when laying down? And do you know the root problem? You may need to know that my daughter did have a history or Tourettes and OCD, however, since she has been on a special diet and gut healthy supplements, she no longer has those problems. Thank you so much! -Lisa   Karen: I heard about your podcast at a Weight Watcher meeting two months ago and have been listening ever since. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and especially, your Monday Mindset thoughts. I am 53 and recently had decided to see a cardiologist to have baseline heart checkup since my parents both died of heart disease at 60 and 61 and my sister(54) had a major stroke last year. (All three were diabetics who did not believe they were diabetics and did not routinely take meds or change lifestyle.) Anyway, my bp is good, glucose is 82, overall Cholesterol is 184, but the ratios are out of sorts with higher triglycerides and HDL. The main question is my LDL-P is elevated and is there a natural way of lowering it? I understand that this sub-particle test is a more accurate indicator of problems down the road. My lpa-2 is within normal range. The doctor or PA in this case, never discussed diet, lifestyle.....just immediately wrote a prescription for a statin and even called it in without asking me what I would like to do. I haven't picked the statin up and am hoping that there is a more natural way. If anyone would know, I trust it is you. Thank you so much.   Norman: Dr. I have cervical spondylosis and a kidney problem, can u please help me to cure or prevent this health problem of mine? Thank You very much, and more power!!   Ceri: Hi Dr Cabral. I've recently started following you on Instagram and have been listening to your podcasts ever since. They are hugely informative and helpful, thank you for sharing and passing your knowledge onto others. I have been having gut issues and diarrhoea for the past 20years. I have spent multiple trips to the doctor trying to find out what is wrong with only being told I have IBS. I recently found out I have a parasite, Dientamoeba Fragilis. My Gasteroenterologist wants to put me on a 10day course of antibiotics “Secnidazole” and “Doxycyline” I have heard mixed results and am unsure what to do. I have changed my diet over the years and now eat a whole food diet consisting of predominantly vegetables, moderate protein, lots of healthy fats and some fruit, mainly berries. This has helped with my gut issues but obviously they have not fully resolved. I don't want to ruin all my hard work in getting my health on track by taking the antibiotics. What do you recommend from your experience? Thank you in advance, Kind Regards, Ceri   Anon: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've been listening since last year, and I've learned so much along the way, so thank you! I have been a nutritional health coach for a while, and realized this has been fun because people themselves want to become healthier. I've been struggling with the people closest to me. For example, I have a friend put on anti-depressants for headaches, a friend with gut issues that affects her quality of life but won't change her diet for more than a couple days, and a baby cousin with really bad sinus issues only after she's fed her multiple bottles of cows milk. I never say anything because it's not my place, but also because no one likes a know-it-all. It just kills me because I want them to be happy, and feel like they could benefit from alternative options. I was curious to see what you would do in these types of situations. Thank you in advance :)   Angie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I check my basal body temperature every day, and it has been very low for years (96.8, sometimes lower) and I have a very hard time raising it, even throughout the day. I have had a full panel thyroid test done, which came back "fine" even though I struggle with many low thyroid symptoms. How can I raise my BBT and help my thyroid work properly again? Thanks for all of your help today and always.   Isabelle: Hi! Thanks for everything that you do, you guys are great! Do you have any recommendation for healing panic attacks yourself (and the general anxiety for having another panic attack), or do you consider therapy to be the best way to treat it? I have developed a fear of driving (as well as just being a passenger in a car) due to several separate panic attacks I had while being a passenger for about 3 years ago. I do think it is connected with the claustrophobia I have had for years, because it seems to get pretty bad when the car is very small, or when I drive on a highway where there is little -or no- chance of "getting out". It has only gotten worse over the past 3 years, and it has now come to the point where I avoid cars for all costs. This is so painful for me (as I used to literally love driving), and not to mention inhibiting and exhausting, as I now make up just about any excuse not to get in a car. If there is anything you know that could help, I would be forever grateful! Keep up the great work. Additional information: *I don't have my own car at the moment, so it is difficult to "practice" driving a car. *I live and work in the city, so I don't really have to drive anywhere, which make it easy for me to avoid driving in everyday life. Have a great day!   Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to all of your podcast and you truly amaze me with your knowledge. I have a question for a friend who is desperate to help their daughter. 3 years ago their daughter had a soccer injury in her ankle.... although her ankle has healed, something happen to her body and she has pain everywhere. The videos of her are so horrible to watch and Im praying you have some insight on her condition. The doctors say she has CRPS, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome....formerly called RSD. Can you help guide us to the root problem and I will pass on your podcast to the family? The doctors currently have tried everything and have no more ideas as to how to help her. Thank you again for being such a blessing to so many people! May God bless you and your family. I hope you enjoyed today's Q&A and all the tips added along the way! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/443 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

442: Burning Sensation, Food Elimination, Pre-Diabetes, Alzheimer's, Hives, Fibromyalgia, Tourette's Syndrome & LPR (HouseCall)

Welcome back to this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls! We have a biggest Q&A ver this weekend answering over 16 of our community's questions! LaSandra: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I found your podcast a few weeks ago and have been obsessively trying to catch up on previous calls. My good friend has been struggling with some neurological issues and cannot get answers from her physicians. A few months ago she had a cervical disc replacement in her neck, but her symptoms continue to worsen. She has burning sensations in her mouth, tongue, upper shoulders and head. She also feels like she has a lump in her throat. She recently found out that she has extremely high B6 levels even after quitting her multivitamin. I told her that I had heard you talk about the MTHFR gene and that it might be related. Because she can't find information on it with the Mayo Clinic, she is skeptical. She is unsure of where to go from here. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!   Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral! First off, thank you for your amazing work. I've been listening to your podcast for only a few months now and it has become a part of my daily routine. I have already seen rewarding progress by the numerous little changes you have suggested. I have also spoken very highly of you to friends, colleagues and family, and I'm borderline becoming that Nutrition nerd that is full of facts and guidance! Now for my question: I have always struggled with acne and digestion issues since I was a kid, but not anything acute or serious. My mother was always hesitant with antibiotics and always work to heal me as gently as possible. I have been detoxing bi-annually for about 3 years now and two days ago I finished your 14 day Dr. Cabral Detox. WOW! I feel amazing. However, before I started the detox I completed an IGG food sensitivity test with my local Naturopath, and the results show that I have way more sensitivities than what I expected. The top 5 foods of my elevated intolerance are: egg whites, Cow's milk, Baker's yeast, cashews, and rice. I also show high sensitivity to every dairy and wheat source that was tested, as well as, almonds, amaranth, beans (kidney, white, and soy) and peas. I am concerned with how I should continue my diet due to the fact that I am also sensitive to the main alternatives of wheat and dairy, and the great protein source of beans. I have a few plans and would like your opinion on their validity: - I am continuing to not eat any fruit or starch vegetables for another week and then I am going to introduce starch carbs, Quinoa, and oats back into my diet like you have suggested on an earlier podcast. I am looking forward to balanced sugar levels and hormones. - Suggested by my Naturopath: I am going to test the strength of my stomach acid with a burp test and if needed, taking acid capsules at meals to test the strength (I can't remember the name of the acid) REAL QUESTION TIME: - How long should I cut out these foods to see results and what should I be doing to heal my gut? - What is the best way to naturally increase my stomach acid to healthy levels? - Can I ever eat these foods again that i'm sensitive to and how should I plan this? - What exactly is food combining and will this help with my digestion/absorption/stomach acid health? Thank you so much for your time, I really appreciate everything you offer! Angela   Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for doing this podcast and spreading knowledge. I recently got my blood test back and my Hgb A1c is 5.4%. ESTIMATED AVERAGE GLUCOSE is 108 mg/dL. How do I prevent pre-diabetes and get my Hgb A1c down? My mother has pre-diabetes and my grandmother (on my mom's side) has diabetes. Thank you   Amanda: I would like to know what my mom can do to improve her memory, as it appears she is in the early stage of Alzheimer's or dementia. She is 61, not over weight, eats a relatively healthy diet and is active. She drinks maybe 3-5 glasses of wine or rum and cokes a week. She does not have any other health concerns that we are aware of. She has been forgetful for about the last 5 years. However this last year her short term memory has gotten worse. She will ask me a question and then ask me the same question 5 minutes later. She knows she is struggling. I would love to have her work with you if you feel this is an area you can help with. Love the show Thanks, Amanda Rau   Allison: well. I was listening to an episode Dr. Cabral previously did on hives and was hoping to ask a question regarding my situation. I am 34 years old. Four months ago I started to get hives on my body. I now have hives every day and they are severe. The doctors I have seen have not been able to help me. Detail are as follows. Originally there would be small outbreaks of hives on my arms, pelvis area, legs and stomach that usually would go away with antihistamines. After a couple months the hives started getting worse, covering larger portions of my body, and the antihistamines stopped working. For the past 6 weeks, the hives have become constant, covering my back, legs, arms, neck and some days, my face. They seem to get worse from pressure and heat so I wear light loose cotton clothing to cover my body. I also have swelling to my eyes and lips occasionally. I had a son 5 months before the hives began so initially thought it was hormone related and stopped nursing. When that didn’t resolve the issue, I stopped eating gluten, dairy, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol. This was 6 weeks ago. I also changed all products in our house including laundry detergent, dish soap, hand soap, diaper wipes, etc. 6 weeks ago I also started taking probiotics, vitamin D, B12, a multivitamin. I also started taking fresh garlic and coconut oil daily. My doctor has done the standard blood tests and found no obvious problems. Outstanding results from various tests include low RBC (3.84), C reactive protein of 13.9 ( very high), no hepatitis B immunity detected. H. pylori IgG was 0.59. Allergy testing for common allergens and inhalants did not show any issues. I had an ovo parasite test done that showed I had many blastocystis hominis and I was treated with 2 courses of antibiotics which has not helped. Specifically I took paromomycin – 1000 mg x 2/day and metronidazole – 750 mg x 3/day for 10 days. I have been prescribed the following antihistamines by my doctor, allergist, and the emergency room but none have helped consistently. Cetirizine, Loratadine, Bilastine, Hydroxyzine, Zantac and Rupatadine. I started getting Xolair (omalizumab) injections of 300mg yesterday. Today the hives were not as bad as they have been the last 3 weeks but they are still all over my body and constant. I am nervous to stay on Xolair given the side effects and it is not solving the problem, just trying to mask it. Other potentially related symptoms: I am often tired. I have undigested food in my stool which is relatively recent (last 2-3 months). I am usually cold. I do not seem to be sweating as much as I used to or at all. I have seen my doctor several times as well as two allergists, an emergency room doctor, a naturopath and an infectious disease doctor. No one has been able to help. I have had hives every day since mid December. I would be very grateful for any help you could provide. Thank you.   Maria: Hi Dr. Cabral thank you so much for everything you do. Listening to your podcasts I know I have yeast overgrowth I was given antibotics 3 times in one year. Have all the systems, now feel like I have fibromyalgia. Feel like its getting worst. Will a gastrologist help me dont know where to turn. Im really scared. If so is there someone I could see for this on the northshore in MA. I never would have know this if it wasnt for you. I would try on my own listening to what you say to do but I get a little mixed up on all the things. Thank you. Maria   Aiden: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have Tourette's Syndrome and have lived with it for at least 20 years. When I was younger I was given medication and I took it blindly until I started to feel like I wasn't myself. I accepted it as part of who I am and accepted that I will live with it and stopped searching for a "cure." It's been so long since I've given much thought to treating it. Is there anything I can do to help control my tics? Anything I could focus on adding or taking away from my diet to reduce them? Thank you for your time and insight. Aiden   Edward: I am currently battling the various symptoms of LPR: asthma, chronic, recurring, cough, occasional lump in throat, and general discomfort in lungs and throat. Is this disease something you have dealt with, in your practice, and, if so, what advice would you give?

436: EBV, Weight Loss Analysis, Interstitial Cystitis, Oral Allergy Syndrome, Natural Antihistamines, Tattoo Dangers, Supplement Timing (HouseCall)

We're continuing on with our massive Q&A this weekend on the Cabral #HouseCall! I hope you enjoyed yesterday show and you're ready to tackle another round of our community questions! Cheryl: After 25 years with autoimmune problems, I'm hearing about a new cause centering around the Epstein Barr Virus, which I had . That in effect, if you get rid of the Epstein Barr Virus, which stays hidden within cell barriers in the body , you can create wellness. That in fact, the body is not out of sync attacking itself, but is actually attacking an invading cell. Especially is noted in Hashimotos which I have, where this Epstein Barr Virus attaches itself . Do you have information on these new findings and might this be a breakthrough and how do we go about ridding ourselves of residual Epstein Barr cells. Thank you    Ellen: How do you determine so many of the recommendations you provide in your personalized weight loss analysis simply by analyzing saliva and small blood droplets. My Integrative docs have always taken a lot of blood work. Thank you   Anon: Hi Stephen! I have dealt with interstitial cystitis for a year now and it is terrible! Since I was diagnosed, I have been eating very clean (no wheat, dairy, soy or refined sugar) and have been trying to incorporate more fruits/veggies into my diet. I have definitely improved but I still have much more work to go...any advice on how I can get rid of it for good and stay healthy? Thank you so much!   Natalie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm curious what your thoughts are on Oral Allergy Syndrome? Is there a way to combat it/lessen the symptoms/reverse it? Thank you! Natalie   Lindsey: Hi it's that time of the year where I get hay fever! Please can you help me with a natural remedy for this so I don't have to take antihistamines everyday! Many thanks! We love you in the UK - come and visit us soon!    Brooke: Hi Dr. Cabral, First, thank you for providing quality information for free to the world daily! My question is, do tattoos damage the body? If so, how? What are the long term effects? thank you for your time, Brooke Elise   Lauren: Hi Steve, I have a few questions in regards to when to take certain supplements and if it matters. I loved your podcast on top 10 supplements and just purchased the magnesium as well as the D3. I have deficient in B12 and Folate/Iron so I was going to purchase the Activated B complex as well. Can you please let me know if i should take these at specific times? I currently take D3 right before breakfast as well as my probotic and magnesium at night. Also, do you know when your nutritional support protein shake will be back in stock? Thanks! Hi Steve, Thanks for answering my questions in regard to magnesium. I was wondering in the one you suggested, I see the inactive ingredient is hypromellose. Is this something I should be weary of? I have read a lot of different things but it is hard to follow and fully understand.

435: Rancid Oils, Ginger Recipe, Miso Soup, Sinus Issues, Bra Stains, Vaginal Discharge (HouseCall)

It's time to get started with our first #HouseCall of the weekend! We have so many great community questions this weekend and it's best we just dive right in! Sue: Hi, Few questions regarding cooking. I often cook with coconut oil as I hear cooking with olive oil isn't healthy? Please can you confirm if I'm doing the right thing. Also, I often heat food up I've cooked in the microwave - can you let me know what the dangers to this are?? Thanks for answering. I love your show!   Lindsey: Hi Stephen, Quick question as I know you have lots of questions. You talk about ginger tea a lot and I love ginger.. do you have a specific recipe for this tea? Thanks   Jess: Hello!! Thank you for all that your doing in the world, would you be able to talk about Miso soup? Is it healthy and beneficial to our bodies? Thanks in advance!   Brook: Hi, Dr. Cabral. For around 1.5 years my husband (23 yo) has needed to wear a breathing strip 24/7. He has suffered from asthma since he was five years old, but this is a relatively new issue resulting in him needing to breath through his mouth and wear breathing strips out in public which is very embarrassing for him. He recently visited an ENT. The ENT Dr. said that he has a mildly deviated septum but the main issue is inflamed blood vessels that partially block his nasal passages. He was prescribed a nasal steroid, Flonase, and the doctor said that if the steroid doesn't help then surgery could be an option. In the last 1.5 years his diet has improved tremendously but he now has more stress in his daily life. In addition, he does take Advair twice daily for his asthma, which is his only prescription medication. My husband has voiced the desire to get off his Advair, but we're not sure how to begin that journey along with figuring out how what to do about his nasal vessels and breathing. Thanks so much, Dr. Cabral. I really enjoy your podcast and am thankful for your knowledge and love for healing. Hope to implement and teach patients about functional principals once I start working as an RN! Brooke   Anon: Hi Dr Cabral, thanks for everything you do. I have rather an embarrassing question but don't know who else to turn to. My doctor says I'm fine but I don't feel fine. I recently noticed gray stains on all my bra cups and sometimes, my nipples would get very itchy. I'm 25 years old and not pregnant. My grandmother (on my mom's side) had breast cancer. Thanks in advance for your help    Yvonne: Hi doctor, I'm a 28 year old female. I always have whitish vaginal discharge without any pain or itchiness. But, if I have sex with my partner, cheesy cottage white discharge is emitted and vagina will start feeling itchy and sex will feel painful. If i do not have sex, I have another kind of vaginal discharge before and after my period. Is this normal?   Haley: Why do you recommend not cooking with oils? I've read that baking/sauteeing/etc with coconut oil (supposedly because it has a higher temperature tolerance) is okay. I would love to know why you recommend cooking without oils - I think I heard you mention that in episode #357, when sharing your favorite healthy fries recipe. Let me know! Thanks so much for all you do - I can't stop listening to and sharing these podcasts! :)   I hope you're having a great weekend and enjoyed the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/435 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

431: What Your Poop Says About You (TWT)

Bowel movements are one of those taboo topics that we're not supposed to discuss... We're told they're gross, disgusting and we need to pretend they don't even happen... But the issue is that your "poop" says a lot about the health of your digestion and overall internal health... Therefore, not talking about it, or knowing "what your poop says about you" leaves you in the dark about whether your system is functioning properly... The other reason this is so important is because your gut is literally the center of your immune system, your 2nd brain, and the #1 organ in terms of your overall health since it contains your microbiome... Plus, if your gut (intestines) isn't working well then it doesn't matter how healthy the food is that you eat, since you won't be absorbing the maximum amount of nutrients possible!

429: Nail Ridges, Eye Floaters, Gain Weight, OAT vs HTMA, China Study, Teething, Smelly Gas (HouseCall)

Welcome back to out 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! We're picking up where we left off and I'm looking forward to sharing the answers to these community questions: Chelsea: Not sure if this is for the house call page, but I have a few questions. 1) I have vertical ridges on my fingernails that I can't seem to get rid of. I have hashimotos, Lyme, and chronic low WBC as well as chronic low BP. I'm on AIP and have been working with a functional doctor for a year but can't seem to figure out the vertical nail ridges. 2) I have a bad case of floaters in my eyes, specifically my left eye. Many times part of my vision is obstructed because of it. I've been to the eye doc and I'm 20/20 and am told floaters are normal, my functional doctor does not know what could be causing them. Your thoughts on these annoying yet telling conditions? Thank you, LOVE your podcast and IG!!!!!   Maria: Hi, I had a question regarding healthy weight gain. I'm 20 and I have always been active throughout my teenage years (I have always been a runner), but the last year I have changed my diet such as cutting out processed foods. I have also been exercising much more intensely (more weights) and as a result I dropped around 10 pounds. This put me at a weight now of around 115 and I'm 5'6". I'm concerned about losing more weight, but I also enjoy eating healthy and working out regularly. What are your thoughts on how to gain healthy weight in the forms of muscle without comprising my health? I have struggled with counting calories in the past (and sometime currently) and my mindset on weight loss in general. Thanks for your help!   Rebekah: Hi dr! Love your podcast! I'm the person who saves your episodes till I get home so I can write down notes. I so wish I could have all the knowledge you have so I could help people the way you do. I am a RN and have a deep passion for helping people get better however it saddens me that conventional medical training is void of this life giving info. What is the difference between the hair tissue mineral analysis and the organic acids test and what test of the two (or any other test) would you recommend I take annually. I am quickly moving into a 100% Whole Foods plant based diet (no meat or dairy) and trying to focus on a lot of raw fruits and veggies. I want a test that will show if I lack something so I can steer clear of illness due to deficiencies. Thanks a ton! Also could you recommend any books/seminars to educate myself on naturopathy/ human physiology    Stephanie: Let me first start by saying how much regard I have for you and your incredible amount of knowledge. My husband and I have turned on several friends and family members to your podcast and to your detox. And you do not have to respond to this on your podcast. I just wanted to reach out to you. So the other day I was listening to your podcast and someone is asked a question about Dr. T Colin Campbell's "China Study." I read the book and I also took Dr. Campbell's six week course through the center for nutrition studies at Cornell. While I understand that he may have based his book on a lifetime's worth of work, I was surprised to hear you give such little credence to cancer rates in Japan being related to their diets. If you've read the China Study, then you must know about the migrant studies. If you take a person from the United States and send them to Japan, feed them the traditional Japanese diet, their rates of disease go down to that of the Japanese native. (For women in Japan the rate of breast cancer is less than 1%.) However, if you take the Japanese native and move them to America, feed them the standard American diet, their disease rates rise to that of an American. (That Japanese woman's breast cancer would rise to 13%, the same rate as an American woman). To dismiss the differences as just a matter of genetics surprised me. There are hundreds of migrant studies that show that disease is strongly related to what you eat, your culture, and your environment.   Ella: Hi any advice for my teething 1 year old - her cheeks get so red and her ears - it's horrible to watch and i don't want to keep giving her painkillers as i imagine it's not that great for babies/ toddlers? Thanks for the show!   Alice: Hi I have foul smelling gas/ wind and bloating more or less all day. I eat a healthy natural diet/ exercise well and don't eat any foods that have shown up on the IGG food sensitivity test so what could this be? quite embarrassing problem. I take your top 3 recommended supplements as well as B complex, zinc, lipoid acid and omega 3. Many thanks in advance - keep up the good work.

Welcome back to our first Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend where we're answering our community's questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging! Here is today's Q&A: Lisa: First I want to thank you for all the amazing knowledge you share for FREE! You are a one of a kind type of doctor. I follow you on Instagram and now have many friends following you as well. I'm finally all caught up with you podcast....LOVE the ALL!  You mention that you listen to Joe Rogan’s podcast and I do as well. He had Mr. XXXX on his show about the Keto diet. Mark is clearly in amazing shape and definately does not look 63 yrs old. My question is, Is a Keto Diet safe and healthy? I have worked with a doctor like you to help heal my daughters Tourettes and OCD and Im obsessed with nutrition. I am a Raw Vegan and I feel my body healing. My husband wants to eat lots of meat like Mark and Im concerned cuz of all the research about meat and cancer. I would love to hear your thoughts.    Ellen: Dr Cabral, Is it ok to take the Ascorbic Acid powder I received if I have crystal oxalate kidney stones? I have read differing opinions on it and just want to be sure before I take it. Thank you!   Chris: Hey Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast and all the great content you give your listeners. I was wondering what you thought about Soil Based Organisms. I have been taking care of my gut repopulating it with lacto and bifido probiotics for several months with great progress after a long period of antibiotic use which lead to parasites and candida overgrowth. I Just tried taking the SBO supplement Prescript Assist and became instantly constipated, and started to develop bloating, belching, and heartburn as well as gut lining irritation. I stopped because I was worried it was not for me. Is that the case or is it just a normal reaction to introducing the microbiome to completely new kinds of bacterial species. Thanks!   Annie: Hi! I'm about to embark of IVF and I'm worried about all the hormones etc in my body. Do you have anything you can suggest for me to do before or after to aid in getting my body back to normal etc? Thanks!   Jane: Dr Cabral, do you think switching to a Ketogenic way of eating could help my boyfriend with his erectile dysfunction caused by type 2 diabetes? He is 51. Thank you, Jane   Marielle: Thanks for sharing so much great information with all of us. This problem comes and goes, but I have realized my frequency and urgency to urinate is out of this world sometimes. I've gone to doctors and even been on overactive bladder medications. If I drink enough water it happens, when I don't drink enough, it still happens. Especially when I am trying to fall asleep I have a hard time just feeling like I have to try to go maybe three or four times before I actually can fall asleep. What do you think could be the cause of this?    Thank you for tuning into today's show and I look forward to bringing you another Cabral #HouseCall tomorrow! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/428 - - -  Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

425: Low Carb = Low Thyroid = Hibernation Syndrome? (WW)

There's no doubt following a low-carb diet can work wonders (temporarily) for some health conditions as I've explained in the past... The issue is that not everyone responds well to staying under 50-100g of carbohydrates per day... And when that someone (maybe you) drops their carbs too low for too long their body begins to go into a protective, low metabolic state... From a survival standpoint, this is a very good thing - But, from a body transformation and health perspective the results aren't going to make you very happy...

422: Knee Tear, Anxiety Relief, Workout PDF, Ayurvedic Dosha, Magnesium Supplements, Liver Flush, Joint Pain from Exercise (HouseCall)

We're back with our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! And just like yesterday's Q&A we're going to be answering another round of community questions sent in by you, our listeners! Here are today's questions:  Erika: Dr. Cabral - thanks so much for all of your podcasts. I can't wait to visit your practice in Boston sometime soon. I just had a terrible accident skiing, which involved an IV, ambulance ride, hours in the ER, and 48 hours of oxycodene. My X-rays show that I didn't break anything. I lost my footing going pretty fast in steep terrain on an alpine run and skied fast right into a tree with my left shin. I got an MRI this morning and have been told I have a grade 2 partial tear of my PCL, I also tore my knee capsule, and sprained my MCL. I haven't heard much on this on your podcasts, but was wondering... is there something I can start putting in my diet on a daily basis to help heal the partial tear? I'm really hoping not to have surgery... also what is the top thing you recommend for inflammation of this magnitude? I was a D1, and professional athlete- I work out multiple times a day and am very committed to my recovery. Thanks soooooo much for taking the time to answer my question! Staying positive and hopeful!! Erika   Elise: Hello Dr Cabral, I have struggled with anxiety to a certain degree my whole life. It has always been more separation anxiety until after I had my first son three years ago. Since then it has increasingly been changing and getting worse. I often struggle with leaving my "comfort bubble" which I have created in my home town. I say often because it doesn't always happen there are some situation where I can go somewhere and be totally fine. Then other times just trying to drive an hour away becomes extremely difficult/impossible. When the attacks happen it feels like a ball is in my stomach and the more the anxiety grows it feels like roots are growing through my gut. I long to be free and to be able to travel and take my sons places. But I don't exactly know where to start that doesn't involve being medicated. I would love to find a natural solution to actually bring healing to my body as a whole. I have been taking probiotics for years and have changed my diet a bit. I also just recently started taking omega-3 after reading that could help with anxiety. I am just at a loss I don't know where to start. If you have any advice on where to start or any suggestions on what type of blood tests/labs, supplements or diet changes I should look into I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.   Debbie: Hello, I just recently found your podcasts and am loving them! Is it possible for you to send me the PDF downloads from episode #292? When I click on them they are expired. Thanks and keep up the great work! Debbie   Tom: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently purchased the Prakriti book you had made a book review of in one of your earlier podcasts. After doing the test to figure out my constitution, I discovered that I'm a PItta with Vata as secondary. I also remember you had mentioned that you as well are Vata-PItta. My question is about nutrition. How strictly do you follow the nutritional guidelines Dr. Svoboda mentions? Do you follow a vata pacifying diet in winter and pitta pacifying in summer? I'm just finding it hard to follow this protocol. How strict should I be with this? Thank you!    Lauren: Hi Stephen, Thank you for your great podcast. It is my go-to. You may have already discussed Magnesium but, I was wondering if you had a preference. I have heard good things about Life Extension magnesium citrate and Pure magnesium Glycerite. I generally want to take magnesium for overall health as well as for my back pain and heart health. Can you please advise? Thanks   Wellness Catalyst: Love your posts and podcasts. My question is "Is a liver and gallstone flush necessary and if so what protocol do you recommend?" You probably already covered this but what protocol do you recommend for a child with severe eczema? Thanks for including that book review on Friday, great minds seem to enjoy similar things including books! Many blessings, your contributions are greatly appreciated-    Belinda:  Hi Stephen, I just got back from India, Mysore where I have completed a month long 200h yoga teacher training. While it has been an amazing experience, I feel it has also left me broken. We had approximately 3-4h yoga per day which wasn't the problem but we were probably sitting cross legged at least 2h per day for meditation, pranayama, etc on the floor as well and on the last day we did 108 sun salutations (quite proud I managed to get through that). Anyway, my knees hurt really badly and my wrists hurt as well. Nothing is visibly swollen and I can walk and jump without pain. It's when I sit down or want to do sun salutations at home that there is this this point when I bend my knee that I have excruciating pain. Been given an oil by an ayurvedic doc which I use, but doesn't seem to cut it. The ayurvedic doc also said I should eat a lot of ghee to lubricate my joints as I am predominantly Vata +++ Kapha ++ Pitta +. This is all great and I do believe in Ayurveda, but I am worried that eating ghee and turmeric won't help. Another important thing to mention is that once my body seems to have warmed up i.e after 12 rounds of painful sun salutations, I'm fine, pain free and can then continue. Then it hurts again afterwards. I will give my body some rest, but also don't want to lose muscle memory. I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks so much! Belinda  I hope you enjoyed this weekend's Q&A and all the tips added in along the way!  - - -  Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/422 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

421: Food Allergies, Over Eating, PreNatal Vitamins, Skin Rash, Holistic Chef, Alopecia, Kidney Disease (HouseCall)

This weekend on the Cabral #HouseCall we have our most questions ever answered over a 2-day period! Our community’s questions have been piling up, so we’re catching up this weekend with some amazing Q&A – Enjoy the show! Susan: Hi Dr. Cabral. I’m a rabid fan – and could probably spend most of this email heaping praise onto you, but I will get to the point because I know you are so very busy. My daughter has food sensitivities and we have been super diligent about removing the items we think are the cause. When we removed gluten her eczema was better. When we removed dairy her constipation improved. We don’t feed our children a lot of processed foods but the odd time when my daughter attends birthday parties and has a piece of cake etc her symptoms seem to explode. If she plays ringette her hands become raw…. She has only had antibiotics twice in her life (she’s 5) once was steroid eye drops as a result of cataract surgery. I am in the process of getting her food sensitivities tested. Is there anything else you might recommend? Thank you – your value to your profession cannot be measured.   Wendy: Dr. Cabral, I am a regular listener to your podcast and I love the education I’m getting every day! I am a certified holistic nutritionist in Wyoming. I eat 95 percent clean – no bread of any kind, no dairy, and no processed foods. I exercise 6 times per week for at least a half hour every day doing a combination of cardio and strength. However, I am about 15 pounds over my ideal weight and can’t seem to break this plateau. I recognize that part of my problem is that I have a food addiction – I eat when I’m not hungry, and even though I eat very healthy food, it’s more than my body needs. I go through periods of time when I’m more disciplined, but even then I can only manage to lose about 3-4 pounds and I plateau. Have you run across this scenario before, and what do you suggest that your patients do about it? Thank you again for all the fabulous tips you give in your podcasts! Oh, and for the record, I’m all in for the Training Thursday kettlebell challenge you talked about on the March 9 show – I’ll be starting that tomorrow!   Briana: Dear Dr. Cabral, I recently purchased your prenatal package. I am about ten weeks pregnant with number three, I lead a healthy life and do a lot of reasearch but still find myself confused when it comes to choosing the best for my babies! I have been a listener for about 6 months and have learned so much and come to value your opinion! That being said I wondered why there is no vitamin K in the orthomelecur prenatal. I didn’t think too much of it until I heard your recent podcast about the benefits of vitamin k. In my previous pregnancies I took Seeking Health’s prenatal which contains 100mcg. Do you feel supplemental vitamin k imoportant during pregnancy? You teased a pregnancy episode and I hope it is the works soon! Keep up the amazing work, it is truly a public service!   John: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your show and listen to it when I’m in the car. I have a slightly raised, red, “rash” around my neck, collarbone, centre of my back, and it sometimes crawls up to my ears. It looks like several little circles about 1 cm in diameter. It’s not itchy and it doesn’t hurt. I went to the conventional doctor 3 times and they said I have tinea versicolor. I work in a hot & humid environment at least 5 days a week (I’m a chef). It flares up when my body temperature rises. I exercise regularly, eat mostly plant based, and have a strong immune system. I have taken an anti-fungal medication (pill and topical). My symptoms went away with the pill but not with the cream. I have done your detox (about 2 months ago) and have had a flare up since then. What do you recommend? Thank you, John   Tania: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love all your work so much. Thank you for sharing all that you do. I always share your podcasts with my friends and family. I have a question about my career path and would love your insight. I am a classically trained chef but have recently become extremely interested in health & wellness. Every day, I listen to podcasts and read books to further my knowledge. I have always believed that food is medicine and have been mostly plant-based for over a year. I am looking to further my education in the holistic/naturopathic space but don’t know where to start. I definitely want to continue cooking for a living but I want to have a strong foundation in health. I worry that I won’t be able to acquire the information that I need by going to a holistic nutrition school, and time is of the essence for me. I know you speak highly of your travels and have considered seeking practical work experience abroad (India, Sri Lanka, Europe). I appreciate any advice you may have. Thank you once again for all that you do. You are an inspiration. Tania    Maria: How does alopecia happen and is there a cure besides rogaine, which is not a cure. Never really heard about it till it happened to me. Thank you Dr. Cabral love your pod casts.   Daniel: First and foremost – thank you for your podcast and the wonderful information you share herein. I have a friend across the pond in London who has a four year old nephew struggling with nephrotic syndrome. We talk about leaky guy, but what can someone (specifically someone four years old) do to reverse a leaky kidney? Thank you for your help!  I hope you enjoyed the Q&A and join us tomorrow for another Cabral #HouseCall answering your questions! - - -   Show Notes:   http://StephenCabral.com/421   - - -   Get Your Question Answered:   http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

419: The Surprising Benefits of Aerobic Exercise? (TT)

It's easy for all of us to hop on the band wagon and ride along with the current dogma of the day, but the problem is that the whole truth usually gets left behind... This is clearly evident when Interval Training became the dominant form of exercise (with good reason) for body transformation and overall health... The issue is that what often happens in our "all-in society" is that we bash and slander anything that doesn't fit in this box... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 419 I want to share the "Surprising Benefits of Aerobic Exercise" and why you just may want to add some to your current program - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/419 - - - Get your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

417: Treating Digestive Issues with Fiber (TWT)

One of the biggest misconceptions in nutrition and natural health is how to heal the gut using carbohydrates... The old way used to recommend cutting out all fruits, starches, grains, and most vegetables... However, modern science (as well as ancient Ayurvedic wisdom) has revealed that only certain types of carbs, sugars, and fibers need to be omitted for a short period of time... Following this type of plan, as well as adding back in fiber to your daily diet will ensure that your diverse gut microbiome can thrive for years to come...

416: Stop Focusing on the Small Stuff (MM)

Losing sight of what matters most to you in life can happen for 2 main reasons... The first one is that you're so caught up in your day-to-day activities, stresses, and ongoings that by the time you stop to breathe it's already time to go to bed... The second reason is that when we're actually going after our goals and what we truly desire in life we get lost in a sea of minutia that has very little bearing on what will move us forward... The way to break the cycle is to rewire our mind and conditioning and thought process to stop focusing on the small stuff...

415: Stomach Pain, Knee Pain, Lignite Extract, Crowns & Dental Work, Cutting Boards, Never Satiated (HouseCall)

We're back with our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend and I'm happy to have you back with us! Here are today's community questions: Melissa: Dr. Cabral, I enjoy listening to your podcast and thank you for all of the wonderful information that you provide. After having my third baby three years ago via c-section, I have had significant pain in my stomach after eating meals. This began occurring 6 weeks post-delivery and does not seem to be related to any specific food. It typically occurs within 30 minutes after a meal and can last for hours. I am extremely bloated, and am 40 pounds overweight even though I eat a very healthy diet (around 1200-1400 calories daily of fresh produce) and exercise daily. I have had a multitude of tests - gallbladder, ultrasounds of liver, blood tests, colonoscopy, endoscopy, food allergy tests - all of which come back normal, with my only diagnosis as constipation. After eliminating dairy and added sugars and taking Mirilax daily, my symptoms resolved. I was even able to eat a normal diet with no exclusions. However, over the last week, the symptoms have returned. I am so frustrated with not being able to eat and having no solution. Do you have any thoughts on what could be causing my symptoms and what my next steps should be? Thank you so much! Regards, Melissa     -  Dr. Cabral, As an addition to my previous submitted question, I am also experiencing severe itching with no rash on my breasts and upper back. My skin entirely is very dry with patches of scaly skin and even though I drink lots of water and use lotions, my skin is still very itchy, dry, dehydrated and uncomfortable. When I itch, I do create very deep cuts which cause a lot of scarring. The itching is internal and often times I wake up with severe attacks where I feel as though I want to remove whatever body part is causing such intense itching - it is very painful. This has occurred over the last 20 years of my life, beginning when I was 18 years old. I have had bloodwork done looking at my liver, thyroid, iron -all of which were normal except iron - I did have low iron stores but after iron infusions, my levels are back up and I am still itching. I have food allergy tests done which have indicated no food allergy. I am severely allergic to dust mites. I have had these bouts with itching after each of my pregnancies (3 total all c-sections) - the other times they have occurred have been random. The only other connection I can make is that the first instance occurred a couple of months after I had my wisdom teeth removed and this last time occurred a couple of months after a colonoscopy, so could it possibly be related to surgery/procedures? Or maybe hormones? Thank you once again for any information you can provide. Regards, Melissa   Lizzie: Hi D. Stephen Cabral, I have recently felt pain in my right knee for the past couple weeks. It hurts to fully extend and just feels "off." I eat very well, mostly organic veggies, coffee in am, nothing crazy, not sure what this could be from. I work out 4x a week yoga to spinning to bootcamps. Can inflammation travel? I do also have very week ankles (kill during yoga in 1 leg poses) and wonder if this is connected? I am still working out and trying to ignore this subtle pain. Even in a plank it hurts to fully straighten my right leg.... but I am forcing it thinking it will clear up on its own. Come to think of it, I also have pain,soreness in my left shoulder, but also continue to work out with light weights during shoulder exercises. I am 32. 120 lbs. Fit. Try my best to do it all right. Please help!! Thank you.   Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral- What is your opinion on stabilized lignite extract supplements? It is purported to tighten up a leaky gut, but I'm not clear on if this product is a necessary addition to my diet. Thanks for all the work you do-- your podcast is awesome!   Leilani: Dear Dr Cabral, Thank you for all your podcasts and all the information you provide! It is very much enjoyed and appreciated. I have a dental question - I need 4 crowns (maxillary central & lateral incisors) and would like to know what material you recommend as safe to have inside the mouth. I find all the information out there overwhelming and confusing and would like to finally have the work done but I want to feel confident that I'm getting the safest and most bio-compatible options available. I apologise if this has already been covered in an earlier podcast - I did a quick search but nothing came up. Thank you for your time & assistance. Kind Regards, Leilani   Ann: What is your recommendation for the most safest and healthiest cutting boards. There are so many to choose from (bamboo, plastic, wood, etc) Thanks!   Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, I seem to eat all of the time, but never really feel full or satiated. I'm not overweight, and I choose healthy real foods. But it seems I could literally eat all day long. What causes this? Thanks!   I hope you enjoyed today's Q&A and all the tips along the way!   - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/414 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

414: Autophagy & Fasting, Food Based Vitamins, Antibiotic Side Effects, Hand Washing, Copper IUD, Head Pain (HouseCall)

Hello and thank you for tuning into this weekend's #HouseCall Q & A show! Here are today's amazing community questions! Brittany: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am getting ready to start your 7 day Dr. Cabral Detox and I was wondering: Do the limited calories on days 1 and 2 of the detox (200 calories each day) still allow for autophagy? I've read that you have to eliminate calories entirely for a period of time for autophagy to engage; is this true? I am just wondering if this detox can also serve as an intermittent fast, or if I need to incorporate a water only fast separately from the detox at a later date for maximum health results long term. Many thanks! - Brittany   Randa: Hello Was wondering if you thought new chapter vitamins are good quality in your opinion. Also could you tell me what macro breakdown you suggest to someone who wants to maintain there weight and what macro breakdown (if different) for someone who has 20 pounds to lose. Thanks -love your podcast   Michele L: Hi Dr. Cabral, Hope you are well. I love the podcast! I had a few questions: 1. What are your thoughts about strep throat and using antibiotics to treat it? My understanding is that antibiotics are prescribed because of possible serious side effects, but wondering if it is necessary? I have one friend whose daughter has a heart problem so she is grateful for them and another friend who has a perfectly healthy daughter, who on the last day of taking the 10 day course ended up with a severe reaction that the doctors believe is serum sickness and is currently in the hospital covered in an awful rash, swollen and having a hard time breathing. They don't really know how to make her better. I know that antibiotics should only be used for bacterial infections, so is that what strep is? 2. Is there anything you can do to protect your child from a serious side effect like the one that happened to my friend's child? 3. The reason I ask is that my daughter is suspected to be allergic to penicillin - she got a red bumpy rash when she had strep 3 years ago after taking amoxicillin that they didn't think was scarlet fever and determined she likely had an allergic reaction. However, they prescribe Keflex for her which is in the same class as penicillin so it makes me worry that she could have a serious reaction to this antibiotic. Any advice on how to manage antibiotics when they are necessary? When talking with the doctors anything specific I should be asking? I wonder if there is a minimum dose that could be prescribed and a shorter duration that would be as effective and perhaps the doctors go with the strongest dosage? I know that the doctors wrongly prescribed antibiotics for my child 4 times prior to her allergic reaction but they made me so worried she needed them when she didn't for very mild ear infections. Very hard to know when to follow along and when to just do what feels right to me. Thoughts? Thanks!   Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral - thanks for a great podcast. What are your thoughts on hand sanitizers? Do you think it is better to use them than eat with dirty hands if there is no place to wash your hands or are you better off allowing some germs to be there? I know someone who never asks her kids to wash (they don't even wash after going to the bathroom) and the kids are incredibly healthy and never seem to get sick. I do believe in hand washing before eating and definitely after using the bathroom (that to me is basic hygiene) but I am guilty of having my child over washing. I also ask my child to wash when she gets home from school. She was a preemie which made me hyper vigilant about her health. I want to get to a "normal" state around this but don't know what the right balance is and how to achieve it? Thanks!   Natalie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I love your podcast. Thank you so much for all the info you share. I'm wondering what form of female contraception you recommend to your patients. My research has led me to believe that the most "natural"/least disruptive form is a copper IUD. What do you think? Have you come across any adverse effects to the copper IUD? Thank you!!!! Nat   MariEllen: Hi Stephen, I listen to all of your podcasts and am thankful you share such useful information with all of us. I have had a constant problem with headaches since I got my wisdom teeth out when I was 17/18 years old. I've been told it has nothing to do with it, it's just a coincidence. I have tried an awful lot of things that have been costly as well as time consuming for me. Sometimes, I want to give up.. But I have already come this far in trying to figure out what is going on with me. I have been to so many doctor appointments, had a brain scan, been on multiple medicines to try to help ease the pain ( which I don't fully agree being on and am no longer taking anything), been fitted for an NTI appliance since I do grind and clench my teeth at night, done acupuncture, tried yoga.... It is a constant pulsating and starts every morning when I wake up. I have celiacs disease, so there is no gluten in my diet and limited diary products that im trying to get down to none. Sometimes, the pain becomes bearable and other times, I cant even think of driving myself to work. The pain usually lasts for days and sometimes a week or more at a time. I generally am ALWAYS in pain and when I'm not, it's the best feeling in the world. It doesn't feel like a migraine to me, I can tolerate light and sound but I do get extremely irritable. The pain feels like my head is always pulsating or someone is like constantly hitting me in the head. I have a lot of pain behind my eyes when it gets really bad and around the neck area (my neck is always uncomfortable) it feels like an ice pick headache but for long amounts of time. Thank you so much and any advice helps   Be sure to tune back int tomorrow for more of our communities questions answered!   - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/414 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

411: Transitioning Off of Low Carb Diets (WW)

Low carb diets work. There's no doubt about that and the research shows that it helps with inflammation, regulating blood sugar, lowering insulin, and losing weight... What you don't hear though is that low carb diets don't work forever... And that's the issue. Most diets will work in the short-term, but what you really need to be successful and to skip the inevitable frustration is a long-term plan... So while going low-carb for up to 12 weeks can work, you need to know what to do after that in order to keep your thyroid, adrenals, mood, energy, and metabolism strong after that point...

410: The 3 Triggers for Disease (TWT)

It seems like we're creating names for as many diseases as there are people on this planet... This is unfortunate because each "disease" is then matched up with a medication. And often times, the medication is for life and the patient is given no hope of recovery... But there is an alternative. That alternative is the belief (and fact) that what we call a chronic health condition is nothing more than a set of symptoms that rise to the surface... In Natural Medicine, we know that the symptoms are not the disease, but represent "dis-ease" within the body. Therefore, the only way to ever fully get well again and reverse any health condition you may suffer from is to find the underlying root causes... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 41o to find the 3 triggers for disease. Once you know those triggers you will then be able to work backwards to finally heal - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/410 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

409: How to Open Your Mind to A Better Life (MM)

Before you ever get healthy, lose the weight, or enjoy the success in life you've been secretly wishing for, you must begin where every success story has ever started... And that place resides in your mind. You can have the best plan, the greatest guru, or the most caring coach, but it is your belief system that will ultimately carry you through to the finish line... In my practice, I've seen cancer and mystery illness patients be given no hope by conventional medicine only to walk away from their past lives of sickness and disease and enter a life of health and happiness... If you have a goal, or want more for life, I urge you to build the proper foundation for your dreams by learning how to open your mind to a better life - Tune into today's #CabralConcept 409 for the details.

408: China Study, Probiotic Recommendation, Parasite vs. Candida, Cellular Detox, Best Food Sensitivity Test (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! We have 5 more amazing community questions, so let's get right into them: Cassi: Hi Dr. Cabral - thank you so, so much for providing all the knowledge and information you share with is and most of all for free. It is so inspiring to see a person do something for the better of society and not only to make a "quick buck." My question is regarding the book The China Study. I know you reviewed this a long time ago, but can't find which episode and was wondering if you could re-review. I'm currently reading the book and just want to know what you think and if every study in it seems trustworthy, etc. Thank you! Aleks: Hi! I was wondering if you had a good probiotic recommendation on the market? I'm a student and need to be smart about my purchases :) Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, I so enjoy your show-it fuels my passion for continuing healing for my body. Through testing it has been shown that my body has the need for Mercury detox, I hve mineral difecency, parasites, and Candida overgrowth. I feel unsure of what would be the first thing to go after and then what would be next and so on. I know that sometimes going after one of these things before the other could be pointless because I am assuming there is an order. Can you help? Thanks! Taylor John: Hi Stephen. I regularly listen to a podcast called the Ben Greenfield podcast, where Ben interviews experts, doctors, etc. He recently brought on a top detox expert named Dr P. Doctor P talked about most detoxes being ineffective and how you have to detox the cell in order to have a true detox.   Jordan: Hey Stephen. I had a question about food allergy testing. I've heard from various doctors, like Chris Kresser and others, who believe Cyrex Labs uses the best method for testing for food allergies. I am just wondering if you've heard of Cyrex Labs and your personal opinion on it. Thank-you Thank you for tuning into this weekend's HouseCalls and I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow on the Mindset & Motivation Monday #CabralConcept show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/408 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

407: Supplement Decision Overwhelm, Compliance, Micronutrient Testing, Healthy Bread? (HouseCall)

Dawn: As a consumer, every podcast I listen to, I get intrigued by another vitamin?  then I think I should add to my diet?  then I don't know if I'm taking too much stuff?  Like, I need more iron, zinc and magnesium.  I'm 47, getting older, skin and hair changing - that freaks me out.  So, I want lots of Biotin, Iron, Zinc - what about fish oil?  What can I do to be looking younger longer or at least try?  I know this is same for so many people - you get caught in all the marketing hype and it plays on your emotions.     Dr. Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to let you know i really appreciate all the continuing education you’re doing for patients and doctors alike. I feel like I learn more from your podcast than I have attending post doctoral seminars! My question is how do you get patients to comply with your protocols? In my practice I seem to have difficulty with patients following the food and supplement recommendations. Any advice would be appreciated and thank you in advance!   Maura: What do you think about micronutrient testing and cardiometobolic testing? My naturopath offered these options to me as well as just some of the basic blood work. Do you recommend this as a good wellness strategy? I did not see it as an option on your website but it is through spectracell.   Renessa: Gday! thankyou so much for all your information, i am so happy i have found your podcasts. I'm just wondering if you would recommend bread at all? If a certain type is best, eg. Organic Whole Rye bread? Is organic bread with simple ingredients healthy? Thanks! God bless.   Thank you for tuning in today and be sure to come back tomorrow and find out the answers to 5 more community questions this weekend! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/407 - - - Get Your Questions Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

402: Why Failing Forward is the Answer You’ve Been Searching For (MM)

With goals come expectations. But, these expectations may or may not be based in reality... For some reason we've been conditioned in our Western vision of reality that achieving our goals is supposed to be a straight forward shot to success... The problem is that the real world isn't set up this way, and as a result we become frustrated due to an incongruence with our preconceived thoughts... The solution is to realize that true happiness does not in fact lie in the attainment of anything, but rather in the process itself and how we should view that process...

BONUS REPLAY: Flush Inflammation from Your Body!

Every few weeks I'll be adding a BONUS REPLAY show from a previous podcast that was voted by our listeners as one of their favorites (by number of downloads)! The bonus replay will never replace a weekend Cabral HouseCall, but is added as an additional podcast... If you've already listened in to this show I highly recommend a 2nd listen to reinforce what you've already learned and possibly even pick up another tip or two you may have missed! Here is today's show: How to Flush Inflammation from Your Body! Most people view inflammation as something bad, but I have a much different view of it… The media has made inflammation out to be the bad guy and something that is supposed to be wiped out through pharmaceutical drugs or nutritional supplements… However, what they haven’t told you is that inflammation is actually a warning sign of some type of tissue trauma that has happened in the body… This means that if you simply try to mask the symptoms of inflammation you are still not treating the hidden root cause of the actual health issue… Tune in to today’s CabralConcept 332 to find out how do naturally flush inflammation from your body while healing from the inside out at the same time – Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/332 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

401: Noise & Sleep App Recommendation, Muscle Testing, Overdoing Daily Exercise? (HouseCall)

Thank you for coming back to tune into our 2nd day of the weekend Cabral HouseCalls! We have another amazing 3 questions today and here they are: Chad: Hi Dr. Cabral, You indicated you live in the downtown area of a major city. I do as well. Do you have any issues with nighttime traffic noise? If so, what do you use to mitigate its impact on your sleep? I've tried earplugs and sound machines, but am wondering if you have any better solutions. Cheryl: Hi, Dr. Cabral. First, I'd like to express my gratitude to you for providing such solid and thought-provoking advice! I've learned so much and have made it a practice to listen to your podcast every day. Now, for my question...have you ever heard of a practice called "muscle testing"? My sister-in-law is going to a naturopath who performs this kind of examination in order to tell her which foods she may be sensitive to in addition to supplements he recommends to her. He offers this service in person as well as through Skype. It sounds intriguing but is a totally foreign concept to me and I thought, perhaps, based on your interest in health disciplines throughout the world that, you may have heard of it. Thanks so much for your time and I look forward to your thoughtful response. Cheryl    Cassidy: Thank you thank you thank you for putting out this daily podcast I’ve learned so much! I have a quick question on your kettlebell workout challenge. You mention doing the swings everyday - is this okay to do? I know you’ve mentioned in the past that you don’t believe in working out everyday…  I hope you enjoyed today's Q&A and all the tips along the way! - - - Show Notes Recommendations & Links: http://StephenCabral.com/401 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

400: Daily Diarrhea, Book Update, Vegan Iron Sources, IFR Sauna Bulbs, Vitamin D Test (HouseCall)

Welcome back to the weekend edition of the #CabralConcept where I answer our community's questions! We have bunch of #HouseCalls to get to today and they cover some amazing questions across the board... I can't wait to share those answers with you now! Karen: My mother has had diarrhea for 14 months. She has struggled with this off and on for ten years but this is the worst yet. In the past she has taken antibiotics but it always comes back. She has lost a lot of weight and I believe is nutritionally deficient. She has tried omitting dairy, gluten, eggs, and other food items but nothing seems to make a big difference. Oddly, fresh vegetables seem to make it worse. She takes Ammodium AD every single day to be able to leave the house. Any suggestions?   Michelle: Hello again Dr. Cabral. You keep mentioning your book in your podcasts. Can you give us a date when we might expect to see it and will you be doing a "crowd sourcing" campaign so we can preorder it to help you out? I'm not sure if crowd sourcing is the term I'm looking for but I think you probably will get my drift! ;-) Thanks again for all of your time, energy and boundless information you help so many of us with. Michelle   Mouxios: Found out about you from Instagram!! I am a 21year old student and I really find your podcasts very helpful!! So I have been vegan for 13 months now ( in the beginning vegetarian) ! I did some blood tests and I found out I have low ferittin levels!! What can I do in order to increase my ferittin levels while remaining vegan? (I think this is also the reason my hair has started falling)!! Thank you in Advance!!   J: your diatomaceous earth episode is not paying ok phone or computer - may be a glitch on your end? just wanted to give you a heads up - http://stephencabral.com/189-2/   Anonymous: if you are attempting an infrared sauna mini experience at home with a single bulb which bulb do you recommend? is the 120 V 250 W from Home Depot sufficient or should you spend the extra $10 and get it from one of the health stores that sell special infrared bulbs (Try for 3-4 bulbs if possible. 250W.      Vijay: If your vitamin D3 levels are just out of optimum range at 43 and you’re only taking 1,000 IU a day, how much should you raise your dosage by?   I hope you enjoyed today's Cabral HouseCall and I'll be back tomorrow answering more of our communities questions! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/400 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

395: How To Do What You Don’t Want To in Order to Get Ahead (MM)

Goals are a funny thing. We all have them and we want to strive for more out of life, but we don't always want to do the work required to get there... Part of it is that we can get too comfortable with where we are right now even if it's not a good place. The reason is that it's become routine and although not where we want to be we at least know this familiar ground... And let's face it, to get to that next level in life we're going to have to change. Something needs to be different in order to get a different result... A lot of the time too, many of us know what needs to be done to make that change to get that new result, but we're not always willing to make that trade.

394: Continuing Ed, Bruising, Gum Recession, Stomach Fat, Low Sex Drive (HouseCall)

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's 1st edition of the weekend Cabral #HouseCalls! Today, we have 3 more community questions so let's get started: Deborah: Dr. Stephen Cabral, You (and your team) inspire me and thank you for staying inspired so you can continue to give so freely to people. I'm interested in the wholistic functional medicine approach. I want to begin pursuing foundational training to be able to offer care to others in need. I've looked at the RD route but want an education that incorporates prescribing methods of healing found naturally in the earth primarily through nutrition [similar to a naturopathic doctor but I don't want to become a doctor]. Do you know which field(s) of medicine would best help me do that? Side question: I get bruises easily when I bump into things. Do you know a natural remedy to heal bruises effectively? Btw tried your Detox for the first time..twas grand :)   Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - first of all thank you so much for everything you do! My question is this: my husband (age 29) has gum recession (lower front teeth and it's also beginning on his upper front teeth) that is progressively getting worse. He had a graft done about 5 years ago and it was semi-successful and he maintained that for about 3 years until he had his teeth cleaned and for whatever reason the hygienist had to clean pretty aggressively near the gum line. Ever since that time he has watched it worsen. His dental hygiene is great which is why this is so disappointing because he takes better care of his teeth than anyone I know. Right now he is oil pulling with coconut oil and some oregano oil. Is there anything he can do? Through my own research I've read about supplementing with CoQ10 and Vitamin C. He would prefer not to have another surgery. Thanks!   Alice: Hi, I have 2 girls under the age of 4 - I am healthy, eat well, supplement well, green powder etc. I exercise 4/5 days a week, fairly active during the day - always hit my 10k steps. I am having a few problems post babies - 1. stomach fat- all my body fat seems to be here and quite stubborn. I am toned everywhere else and these last 7 pounds seem to be all on my tummy- can you help? I have done the IGG food tests and eliminated. 2. my sex drive since having my 2nd child has gone! obviously i have less time, working, being a mum and cooking from scratch, gym etc but i'd really like to connect again with my husband. any advice would be fabulous - thank you for all your help - you are great.   I hope you enjoyed today's Q&A and all the tips added in along the way! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/394 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

393: FM Testing, NADH Energy Pill, 2-3 Day Fasting, Can't Concentrate (HouseCall)

The weekend Cabral #HouseCalls are back and we have some amazing questions lined up for today and tomorrow! Here is today's community Q&A: Sharlona: I am new to your site and plan and have downloaded the welcome package. I am now trying to access the Functional Medicine Testing and receiving the following message: 404 Error We’re sorry but the page you’re looking for has gone missing… we’ll look for it, but in the mean time please use the search bar above to type in a keyword for what you are looking for. Is there another way I can access this? Thank you for your time. I am very interested in your program.    CC: Hi Stephen, I recently read about Professor Birkmayer NADH and it's effectiveness for energy. I was interested in this for adrenal support (in addition to other herbs I am taking and of course the Cabral detox) but wondered if NADH is really worth the excessively high price point? Massively value your podcasts, learned so much - many thanks!   Anna: Hi Dr Cabral! I am a healthy, 35 year old but recently have been experiencing fatigue issues and slight weight gain. :-( I do have a great deal of life stress, but I work out, eat a very clean diet and practice meditation/prayer - still deeply struggling with new aging concerns and fatigue. Recently a friend talked to me about coffee enemas and fasting. What is your take on regular 2-3 day fasting? How about coffee enemas? What is your opinion there? By the way, thank you for making your expertise available! Best, Anna   Tom: Hello Dr. Cabral, first of all I'd like to start by saying how thankful I am to have found this website and listen to your podcasts on a daily basis. I think what you're doing is such an amazing service and I thank you! My question is: I can never seem to get through a book at the speed most people do. And when I'm reading I often have to reread some paragraphs or sentences because my mind drifts off, even though I'm 100% interested in the book I'm reading. Wondering if you can shed some light on this for me. 2. Why can't I concentrate when I'm reading and need to reread paragraphs because I didn't grasp it the first time.Thank you.   Thank you for tuning in today and be sure to check back for tomorrow's 2nd HouseCall of the weekend! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/393 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

387: Coconut Water, Caffeine in Supplements, Epsom Salt, Pet Allergies, Hip Pain, Hive Outbreaks (HouseCall)

We're back with our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! I really enjoyed answering yesterday's questions and looking forward to tackling today's Q&A... So let's get started! Tracy: Hi Doctor Cabral. Thank you thank you for all the info. I was wondering how you feel about consuming coconut water daily. I try and drink a 16oz bottle of organic harmless harvest coconut water every day (supposedly this brand is closest to the real thing and I truly enjoy it) 1. Does this count towards my daily water intake? 2. is it too much sugar at 28g, but since it is natural sugar I feel it is ok? 3. are there many benefits of drinking quality coconut water? Background, I do suffer from SIBO and many other intestinal and skin issues. Thank you. Jenn: Hi there! I had also sent this email to the [email protected] address too and never got a response. I am very interested in trying out the daily shake, but I need to make sure there is no caffeine, even green tea, in the product. My body is very sensitive to it and I have a hard time tolerating it at all. I hope to hear from you soon so I can make my purchase! Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I take Epsom salt baths 3 times a week using Dr. Teals Epsom salts unscented. I took you up on your recommendation of using San Francisco Salt Co Epsom salts and bought a gigantic bag of it. Unfortunately the two times I used it I got a huge headache about 2-4 hours later. I would love to know why that is. I hate that I stare at this beautiful big bag of salt I can't seem to tolerate. Btw, I use about 1 -1.5 cups of salt in the bath water. Thanks much! Lisa Cynthia: Can you please do a podcast on silent reflux. I was just diagnosed and I'm looking for a natural cure to help me with my symptoms. Thank you… Max: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've been listening to your podcast since last summer and it's been a great source of information. I've made many changes to my habits after listening to your podcasts, including the detox, and having smoothies every morning. It's definitely improved my daily life! Thank you for your work! My question to you now is about asthma and pet allergies. I was diagnosed with asthma at 32 y/o. After allergy tests, I was told I'm highly allergic to pet dander (dogs, cats) and common house dust mite. After a stern chat from my Dr., I found new homes for my cats, got rid of rugs and heavy fabrics, and "allergen proofed" my house. It's been 6-7 years of clean breathing with no asthma attacks; the only exceptions when visiting households with pets, and being exposed to them for over 3-4 hours, or overnight stays (and I'd take medication like Allegra and or albuterol pump in these occasions). Interestingly enough, the asthma/allergic reaction varies depending on the breed of dogs I'm exposed to (for example, hardly any reaction to a yorkie-terrier, but then get short of breath near a bulldog). My question is - should I never consider getting a pet again? Or are there any non-medication alternatives to alleviate these allergic reactions so I could potentially get a pet? Again, thank you for your work and time. Max Lindsey: Hi, I've spent most of the winter mixing interval sessions on the treadmill and with weight sessions I have sore shin/ thigh and hip pain on one side; possible Sacroiliac joint? It's effecting my training now. I've changed shoes, rested a few days, massage etc but not helping. I will get back outside on the road when the weather is better but in the meantime what can I do? Is it the treadmill impact? Thanks for your fabulous podcast and help x Jeni: Hi Dr. Cabral! Words cannot describe how much you have changed mine and my family's health since I have discovered your podcasts! Thank you! I have asked questions before regarding my husband and children's health issues (to which your advice worked 100% on each question), but have always put my health issues off for another time. I am ready to start feeling better as well! My story is a little more complicated than theirs. My main symptoms are hives (usually around my joints but also on any part of my limbs) and joint pain. The hives also come on any time of day or night, but really appear after I have had any type of contact on my skin. (Example: when I go skiing, my boots rub in certain places on my feet. My ankles and feet are super swollen with hives for the rest of the evening.) Most Dr.'s have automatically chalked it up to a food intolerance and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have taken the steps from a medical doctor to do allergy tests for food, but all have come back negative. Let me also say, they did NOT do a food sensitivity test. I have done the Whole 30 program to help me eliminate foods but in doing, the hives and severe joint pain have NOT gone away. I am in my mid 30s and this has started just a few years ago, but has gotten progressively worse and is starting to affect my life. Does this sound like a classic case of Rheumatoid Arthritis to you, and if so, what should my next step be? I don't love the idea of taking medication to improve it but am starting to feel like that is my next step.

386: Best Test, Facial Scars, Thyroid Supplements, Female Hormones, Parasites, Long Distance Consults (HouseCall)

I'm really looking forward to today's Cabral #HouseCall! We have so many amazing questions and I think the answers may even surprise you in some cases... Let's get started! Nikki: What is the best test for Optimal Health? Lizzie: 2 questions for the wonderful doctor cabral: 1.What are you feelings on castor oil packs for detoxing? How do you do this simply? Life is already so busy, I was thinking I could do this at the same time as a coffee enema that I do once a week now. Good idea? Does this help with hormone issues/ovarian cysts? 2. What is the #1 oil for facial scars, I am trying to make my own acne serum for my face, back and arms, I did a lot of picking, and now need to eradicate the scarring that is so awful. Thank you! Chloe: Hi Dr Cabral, thanks for your podcast on adrenal thyroid, looking forward to more. So I have started on a journey to repair my adrenals over the past month as much as possible using adaptogenic herbs (Gaia herbs) etc and just started taking natural thyroid support (also Gaia herbs) the other day, the last few days however, almost since taking the thyroid supplement, I have noticed I have been very moody and negative. I am trying to minimize stress to help adrenals but even the smallest thing will tick me off! I haven't touched birth control for almost 4 yrs. I am due a period but it is late (36 days), I am definitely not pregnant. I am not sure if it's just really bad PMS or if it could be some kind of adjustment to my hormones rebalancing - does this happen? I was wondering how long approximately it may take for this "adjustment" or the hormonal state to return to normal? Love this community, thanks and very much appreciated Maura: Everyone talks about out of balance hormones and how they ruin everything but no one gives clear direction on what to do to fix them. Can you help with that? Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently got tested and found out I have a parasite AND a candida overgrowth - what do you recommend I work on healing first? Thanks for your help! Frank: Thank you very much for responding to my instagram question about finding a Naturopathic today. Since I live in NY, I'm not sure I could find a doctor that does the things you do. I will check the IFM.org website and hope for the best. Believe me, I would love to see you, but since it is about a 5 hour trip, it doesnt look plausible. Thank you again for your help, your podcasts and overall great information. Blessings to you and yours.  Thanks for tuning in and I can't wait to bring you 5 more community questions tomorrow! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/386 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

385: The 3 Best Air Filters & Allergen Removers (FR)

Given the fact that the air we breathe is literally the most important thing to our health I always find it odd that we allow so many chemicals to float around unseen in the atmosphere around us...

Although we can't always run away from toxic environment we've inherited, on today's #CabralConcept 385 I will share with you how to make your world and the air you breathe a whole lot cleaner & safer - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/385 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

383: What Your Food Cravings Really Mean... (WW)

We've all been led to believe that we crave certain foods because those are just our taste bud's preferences, but the truth lies a lot deeper than that... While it is true that people prefer certain foods over others, sometimes it's not because of a taste preference, but instead due to a physiological need of your body.

382: Difference Between Adrenal Fatigue vs. Low Thyroid Symptoms (TWT)

In my practice I see people suffering from both adrenal fatigue and low thyroid issues, but often times they may have been previously diagnosed incorrectly... Today, what I'd like to do is share with you the specific "traits" of how adrenal fatigue differs from low thyroid even though many of the symptoms appear very similar... For example, someone with adrenal or chronic fatigue can be tired all day, but then have difficulty sleeping. Whereas, someone with low thyroid will be tired most of the day, but still have no problem sleeping at night as well... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 382 for more details, as well as a specific test you can run to know for sure which one it is that you may be suffering from - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/382 - - - Get Your Question Answered:  http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

380: HypoThyroid, Wart Cure, Picky Eater, Candida Diet, Metal in Body (HouseCall)

Thanks for tuning back into our 2nd Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend! I think you're really going to enjoy today's community Q&A so let's get started! Anon: Hi Dr. Cabral! I love your podcast. I have learned so much from you. I believe I have mild symptoms of: leaky gut, hypothyroidism, candida and food sensitivities (for which I am following a protocol through my naturopath – I am avoiding my sensitivities, cooking mostly organic low-glycemic carbs, ethical meat, good quality fats My bloating has reduced and energy is better, but I still have the following which started at 17 (when I started university) and now I am 27: dark circles under my eyes, cold hands and feet (poor circulation), hair and eyelashes thinning, weakening and falling out (hair has also been turning gray), hard to lose fat and cellulite overall, but predominantly in lower body (I feel as though I hold on to water even in my calves). I am a female, of South Asian descent, 5’3 and weigh 120 pounds approximately, live in Canada and have mid-level stress. I am not sure what else to do. I want to ask for any tips and am just wondering what else I can do because I feel that I put in so much effort and still do not feel motivated to do my best in life (mood instability – sometimes down/depressed) and do not feel comfortable in a bathing suit... Thank you!   Jenn: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am so glad I found you on Instagram! I listen to the podcast regularly and value the information you share. What an honor it would be to meet with you one day. Thank you for your passion! There are so many questions that I want to ask, but I have narrowed it down to one! I have had a planter's wart on my foot for almost 20 years. I have tried many methods of treating it and nothing has worked. I have had it frozen, cut out, special topical treatments, apple cider vinegar, and coconut oil mixed with tea tree oil to name a few. It is slowly spreading and at times painful. Not only is it uncomfortable, but I find it a bit embarrassing as well. I constantly keep duct tape on it at all times. Any thoughts? I am a believer that we can heal most things life throws at us if we are addressing the right areas of our health and wellness. Thank you for any insight into this annoying issue. (294)   Kevin: Dr Cabral, You have helped my wife and I with so many things for ourselves...and now we seek guidance for our 8 year old son. He has developed into a moderately selective eater. He eats relatively healthy, for the most part, but only has about 3-6 foods in his arsenal at a time that he'll even consider...and almost never tries new things. I've read quite a bit about this...and there are a lot of opinions ranging from "make one meal then let him decide if he eats or not" to "just make him what he wants and not worry about". Sure would value your thoughts on this. Appreciate everything you do. - Kevin    Jenn: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks so much for your podcast, I love listening to it everyday! I am starting the Bacterial and Candida cleanse protocol soon, and as I look through the meal plan I am beginning to become a little concerned I might get hungry throughout the day. I have an ectomoprh body type and typically have a few snacks during the day between meals. I am on my feet during the day and like to workout after work. I do not want to disrupt the cleanse process so I wanted to ask before I started in case I feel the need to snack. Do you have any suggestions for what type of snacks I could have or if I could bulk up the meals with a certain group? Would it be more harmful to increase a certain recommended food group? My last question: I know they are not on the list so just double checking if you would approve of chia seeds, flax seeds, salmon, coconut oil for cooking or any type of tea? Thanks so much for everything you do! I am extremely excited to commit to this protocol and get rid of all my Candida and Bacterial dysbiosis symptoms! Best, Jenn   Vivian: Hello, Dr. Cabral, THANK YOU so much for all that you do - don't know how you do it all, but perhaps one day you'll offer a podcast on your time management skills! LOL! Was curious if you could comment on biopsy clips. My allopathic doctors shot several titanium clips into me, to mark several masses located in the armpit area. The masses have all shrunk (I have since switched over to a completely holistic route, and have never felt better), but I can still see and feel small bumps, which I believe are the biopsy clips themselves. My questions: (1) Since the masses have shrunk, what exactly are the clips attached to? I've documented their locations via thermography, and at least one seems to have moved about an inch in the last 3 months. (2) What would be the safest way to have them removed? (The more research I do, the more I'm convinced I'm far better off having nothing foreign introduced into my body.) Thanks a million!

It's that time again and that means we're back with another #HouseCall weekend! On today's show we answer our community's questions on: Rebekah: Are Natural health and your consultations and labs covered by regular medical insurance? How do people pay for services in your practice? Amanda: I have been doing well GI wise, no bloating gas cramps or diarrhea. However I believe i have had a yeast infection for about a week now I figured it may just go away but it hasnt. I also have eczema popping up on my right hand where it usually is. Haven't had it since i started workig with you really so I thought that these 2 random symptoms were odd. How can I get rid of my yeast infection naturally? Shahna: Love the podcast and all of the help. Stay healthy. Quick question: is there anything unhealthy or dangerous about a plant based, vegan menu? Some sources/critics claim it is lacking in important nutrients, etc. and is thus harmful to have a diet that does not include meat at least occuasionally. Thank you Alma: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love listening to your podcast & how they're so informative. You recently mentioned in a house call that it'd be a good idea giving kids a good multi vitamin. I was wondering if you could recommend any specific brands?? I've been searching for one for some time now & honestly get overwhelmed with all the variety out there. Thanks so much for your feed back!  Caitlin: Hi, I am a Registered Dietitian and have been following the functional medicine philosophy and community for awhile now. This approach to disease prevention and healing has given me the faith I was beginning to lack from working as an RD in conventional roles. I currently am working in the Boston area but am eager to find a setting in which I can utilize my knowledge and expand my skills using a functional approach. Do you have any suggestions for how to begin transitioning into Functional Medicine from a traditional RD setting? I would greatly appreciate any insight you have. Thank you for all of your great work within this amazing and inspiring community of professionals!

After I tore my achilles tendon when I was 16 years old I had to find a different athletic outlet other than long distance running...

373: Ear Infections, Constipation Protocol, MTHFR, Hemorrhoids, Whey vs. Plant Protein (HouseCall)

We're back with our 2nd edition of the Cabral HouseCall and we have 5 more community questions to answer today! Here are those questions: Nikki: Hi there! First, thank you so much this podcast. I live in LA and I actually look forward to driving so I can get some uninterrupted listening time in. I really appreciate you spreading your knowledge on wellness and also really enjoy the spiritual tones many of your podcasts take. I'm just so happy I found you and I tell friends/family about you often. My question: I recently had to give my 8 month antibiotics for an ear infection. While I really didn't want to (as I've heard you say and also believe they should be taken more in a life threatening situation), the scared mother in me did as I didn't want it to turn into something else with her being so young. My question is, what can I do now to help her. She's on solid foods a couple times a day. Sweet potato, peas, bananas, etc. And in the same vain, how do you handle situations with your children as far as what they eat with other family members or parties where treats and soda are flowing like crazy! My 3 year old eats healthy at home but loves treats when we're out.    Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a physical therapist who works with patients with pelvic pain and pelvic floor disorders. Many of them also have chronic constipation. I know that unless their constipation resolves they will not get better due to the pressure on the pelvic floor and also increased inflammation. I am constantly referring my patients to functional medicine but they rarely follow through because of the cost. So instead, I have started making my own recommendations based on my own research. I advise them to take magnesium glycinate and vitamin C powder to soften the stool. This has been very effective. I may also recommend a probiotic. If they are willing to take it a step further I will instruct them in an elimination diet to look for food sensitivities. I know it is preferable to treat the underlying cause, but I know that if I do not get their bowels moving quickly, any work I do to relax and strengthen their pelvic floor is futile. Any advice for me as a practitioner trying to help my patients?   Christine: Hello, I really enjoy the Cabral Concept and listen regularly. I am hoping you can discuss MTHFR. I have recently found that i have homogeneous MTHFR and wondering if supplements work( L5 MTHF and Ultra b12 folate ) and how long will i need to take them? Thanks, Chris   Michele: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am so happy to have found your podcast, and thank you for all that you do, including answering questions that everyone sends in. I have hemrhorids. I can manage them with OTC products, but I just wish I didn't have to. I eat lots of fruits and vegetables and fiber. I drink a lot of water and nothing else except a cup of coffee in the late morning/early afternoon. Limit my alcohol to events only. I exercise 3/4 days a week. I take extra magnesium. I'm not sure what else I can do. At what point to I go to a dr to fix this ?? Thank you! Michele   Patrick: Is there an advantage to the type of protein you're taking? I know pea protein is popular (and other vegan varieties) but many health/fitness articles say whey is the protein of choice. Does it really matter? In the end does your body just synthesize protein? Thanks! Thank you for tuning into another week of the Cabral Concept and I can't wait to talk with you again tomorrow on our Motivation & Mindset Monday! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/373 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

372: Mammograms, Poisonous Gas, Flu Shot, Genetic Testing, Liver Disease (HouseCall)

I'm really looking forward to this weekend's HouseCalls because we've upped our Q&A to 5 questions per show! Check out today's community questions: CC: Hi Stephen, what are your thoughts on mammograms and the titanium marker clips? Thanks always for your inspiring podcasts!   Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral - I recently heard that Radon is super poisonous and responsible for many illnesses. What are your thoughts? is it worth it to buy a radon detector for my home?   Michele: Hello again Dr. Cabral! Me again! I was wondering what your opinion is on getting a flu shot. I have never gotten one and have mixed feelings about it. I am almost 47 and healthy and cannot even tell you the last time I had the flu let alone a cold. Just curious to know your thoughts. If you have already addressed this subject, please just respond to this with the podcast number. Thanks as always for your selfless time and energy you put into helping others! So grateful! Be well, Michelle   Rebekah: Hi there, I'm interested in the Genetic DNA Wellness Package, but I have a few questions. One - Do the results cover what would be in all of the other targeted packages (Omega-3, Hormone, etc.)? Two - Would it be possible to submit to insurance for coverage?   Michael: Hello Dr. Cabral, My name is Michael from Alberta Canada. Thank you for your encouragement and your great content! My question is actually for my grandmother. She has recently become very ill because of what has been called liver failure from apparently drinking in excess. She has been told that there is basically no solution for fixing her liver and she has met with a dietitian who has prescribed her a low salt diet and to avoid drinking anything anymore. If she doesn't drink and her condition improves then she may be able to have a partial liver transplant in the future. Though unlikely. Is there a diet that could help speed up her recovery and any supplements or other protocols that she could follow. You said on episode 360 that little by little people can recover from anything, they just need some hope. I just hope this is true in my grandmothers case. Thank you again for all you do. All the best   I hope you enjoyed the show and be sure to tune back in tomorrow when I answer another 5 community questions! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/372   - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's first round of #HouseCalls and now we're back with 4 more of your questions today! Enjoy the Q&A and all the tips added along the way - Let's get started: Anonymous: Hi Stephen, how do you go about getting rid of mold based issues and what if you constantly live in a mold based environment? P.s. catching up on all the great podcasts noticed you changed the intro music, preferred the old one but as always great, great podcasts!! :)   Marie: Hello Dr. Cabral! I love your podcast and am so grateful for the way you share your knowledge so freely, as well as your heart to help people! I was wondering if you have read the new book, "Eat Wheat: A Scientific and Clinically-Proven Approach to Safely Bringing Wheat and Dairy Back Into Your Diet" by John Douillard? As someone who has been off of wheat and dairy for years now (and go to great measures to keep my 3 children and husband away from it as well), I was skeptical of the title. But after reading the summary and the many rave reviews on amazon, I feel inclined to read it. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it! Thank you, Marie   Ava: Hi Stephen! Keep up the good work - I love your podcasts. Please can you tell me what podcasts you listen to and recommend? I'm interested to hear what inspires you as you inspire me! Thanks x   Susan: Hi, My 4 year old won't stop biting her nails to the point they are very sore. Please can you advise how I can help her? I've tried the stuff that tastes horrible but that didn't work, rewards etc. I don't know why she does it; usually when bored or nervous sometimes excited. Any advice would be most welcome!

365: Ringing Ears, Foot Pain, Stop Snacking, Vertigo Supplements? (HouseCall)

  It's already the weekend and that means we'll be reviewing the questions we've gotten over the past few weeks and helping our community get the answers they're searching for... So let's get right into it and answer the first 4 questions on the Cabral HouseCall! Tony: Hi Stephen, what do you recommend for ? Have read that bioidentical aldosterone drops (although not sure where to purchase) are good for hearing issues and tinnitus, any thoughts? Excellent podcast, thanks!   Tricia: Hi Stephen, I have this fingernail-size lump/nodule on the back of my heel. It's been there for a couple weeks, no redness but is painful to touch. I don't do any intense exercise (only walking) but could this be Achilles tendonitis or Haglund's? I will take turmeric for inflammation and tightness but how would be best to get rid of this bump? Thanks and great podcast!!   Kara: Hi Dr. Cabral, Do you have any tips on how to stop snacking while cooking? I tend to mindlessly snack when preparing/prepping meals even if I don't feel hungry. Thanks, Kara   Rose: Hi Stephen, first off I would like to thank you for all information you give out freely! Love your podcasts ! Great job!

364: My Top 8 Green Juice Recipes (FR)

Green juices and powders are one of the most popular nutritional supplements on the market right now and for a very good reason... They pack 2-3 servings of fruit & vegetables plus all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients that come along with them! This makes them an excellent addition to most people's supplement cabinet and a potential life saver when it comes to reducing inflammation, hormone imbalances, joint pain, low energy/mood, poor skin, and other health ailments... The problem is that not all green juice powders are created equal. Some are loaded with fillers like inulin and chopped grasses, while other contain too many artificial sweeteners... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 364 for my recommendations and my top 8 green juice recipes (+ a free downloadable recipe guide!)

360: The Advice I Gave Myself to Overcome All Odds (MM)

I don't know if you've ever had to suffer any hardship or overcome any health issues in your life, but what I can say is that eventually the ebb & flow of life catches up with all of us... This can come in the form of a sick parent, auto-immune issues, disease, weight issues, or feeling depressed... The real problem is that most of us believe that the issues we suffer from our completely unique to us and that no one knows what we're going through... This can then lead to an even deeper state of frustration, anger, anxiety, and hopelessness... There is an answer though, and it comes in the form of how you choose to frame your current situation and in the choices you make when looking for solutions to your problems... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 360 for the advice I discovered, which enabled me to overcome all odds and become well again - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/360 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

359: Weight Loss & HRT, Low Back Problems, Vitamin C & Lyme Disease (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our 2nd House Call of the weekend where I answer your questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging! Here are today's Q&A's:   Deborah: I am interested in your weight loss testing kit. I am currently on HRT. How long would I need to stop HRT before I take the test to find out what my true levels are? Thanks in advance, Deborah   Nadim: I am sure you asked this question all the time, but is it possible to heal disc herniations? There is a lot of contradictory information on this subject and I really do not know what to believe. More specifically I have a large central posterior disc herniation between L4/L5 that originally resulted in significant referred pain in my feet. I have had the injury for about 3 years, but more recently the pain has improved since returning to the gym, however, I do not know if I am doing the right things, please advise. My gym routine involves back extensions (weighted), pull ups and kettle bell squats with my feet very close to a wall to ensure proper form. I also occasionally do some deadlifting (60kg). I have also increased the amount of water I consume and supplement with omega 3, vegetal silica, Xtend Life total balance multi vitamins, and Bio Kult probiotics. What advice can you give to help further improve my situation or heal my disc injury? Exercise, nutrition, sleeping position and type of bed? Finally, it is worth mentioning that although my injury seems to have improved to the point that I now only get a little referred pain intermittently during the day, I always seem to have some when getting out of bed in a morning. I assume this is because I can’t control my posture when sleeping?   Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral! My question is in regards to Vitamin C. I've heard that Sodium Ascorbate is a better form of vitamin C to take than Ascorbic Acid. Is this true? Sodium Ascorbate is quite a bit more expensive, so I'm hoping it isn't! Thank you!   Bryn: Lyme Disease Dr. Cabral - Can't say enough how much the information you put out each day has helped me. Even if the topic isn't something I am specifically dealing with - I am fascinated and interested in learning as much as I can. I really do believe you are providing a service that can help so many people. I recommend you to whomever I can.....but I think it is going to take a lot of work to break down the misinformation that has plagued us for years from the various food and supplement companies and media. Please keep up your amazing contribution to society. ***My Question is for a friend's husband who is suffering from Lyme Disease. He has apparently tried everything available to him, but here in Canada Lyme Disease is not really regarded as a true health issue, unlike in the US where it's my understanding that it is. What is your recommendation for someone suffering from Lyme?? Thank you!   I hope you enjoyed today's Q&A and all the tips added in along the way! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/358 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

358: Pregnancy Supplements & Diet, Bacterial Vaginosis, Rosacea & Antibiotics (HouseCall)

The weekend edition of the #CabralConcept HouseCall is back! Today we have 3 amazing questions from the community, so without further ado let's get right into them!   Mel: Hi Dr C! (I'm trying this again hopefully it reaches you)! Juat wanted your tips for pregnant diet and exercise. Lots of conflicting message out there. For example what do you think about probiotics, cod liver oil, preg supplements, greens powders, smoothies, iron, protein ... to name a few. Any wisdom is appreciated. PS. Your work rocks. Thank you :)   MN: Greetings! Thank you for all you do. I've struggled with Bacterial Vaginosis for at least 6 years. I've been pregnant, but it was ectopic. I have also been told after an exam that I have non-cancerous, abnormal cells on my cervix. About 6 days after intercourse (condoms and all) my vaginal flora changes and I get symptoms. No odor, just a change in discharge. Have you been able to cure anyone? Most ladies who suffer from this have only found temporary relief. Any insights would be awesome.   Caitriona: Hi Dr Cabral, I have just recently found your podcast and I really enjoy listening to it. It's to hear such a variety of topics and great information on a daily podcast. I suffer from rosacea on my nose . It can be quite red and ugly looking at times. It was fine for years but has flared up quite badly a few months ago. My diet is healthy, I am hydrated, I have lots of veg, lots of green leafy green veg, good quality protein and gluten free. Is there any natural treatment available to help this condition apart from having to take antibiotics. Do you know of any suplements or food regimen that might help improve it in any way. I would appreciate any suggestions or advice. Thank you. And thanks for all the advice given so freely on your show. Regards, Caitriona ( listening from Ireland)   Thank you for tuning in and be sure to check back tomorrow for another 4 new question and answer session! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/358 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

352: Adult Acne, Digestive Healing Plan, Old Sneakers, Food Allergies (HouseCall)

The 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend is here! Today, we have some amazing community questions that are completely different from yesterday's show... Check them out now and be sure to tune in for the answers! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a couple issues that I'm struggling with: hair loss and cystic acne/congested skin. I'm a woman in my 40's and have been seeing a functional medicine doctor for several years. She helped me diagnose sibo and candida overgrowth, which were causing my digestive issues. I also have low ferritin and slightly low testosterone and DHEA. I now have the digestive issues under control; however, I'm still struggling with acne and hair loss. I had great results with my skin clearing up and normalizing (less oily) while on spironolactone but my doctor wanted me to go off it back when we were still diagnosing my issues. What are your thoughts on the use of spironolactone? Is it safe to take? I hate the idea of taking it but I hate my skin even more right now. I've also heard spironolactone can help with hair loss. I'm currently taking saw palmetto and if that doesn't help with the hair loss then she may have me try DHEA supplements too but said there can be some risk in that if we don't get the dosage just right. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!   Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have suffered from digestive-based issues as long as I can remember. When I was a child I remember being hospitalized due to chronic constipation because I couldn't even walk! From there, I have had bouts of both constipation and diarrhea that last for years at a time. For the past 4 and a half years I have dealt with chronic constipation - I can easily go 5 days without a bowel movement, which is extremely distracting because I have a lot of bloating, distention and sharp pain. I found a functional medicine practitioner who ran some tests to discover I am slightly sensitive to casein, whey, egg whites and wheat, so I have since removed those foods. My thyroid panel looked fine despite my morning body temperature being low for years. A stool test revealed I had a parasitic infection (Giardia) which we treated, and after running the test again after treatment, he discovered I had low SigA and H, Pylori. He put me on a treatment plan of adaptogenic herbs to manage stress and L-glutamine to build up my intestinal lining, but we did not address the H. Pylori. He did also mention candida being present (which makes sense because I have recurring vaginal yeast infections), which we did not address either. My symptoms have not reduced, and I still have pain and discomfort and fullness in the bowels after eating. I have survived the past few years with many tears, digestive enzymes before meals, senna tea (almost every night, which I know is not good for me) and very high doses of magnesium citrate to produce regular bowel movements (which I know is throwing off the balance of my body and is potentially very dangerous). I eat a mostly plant-based diet, tons of vegetables, chew my food well, drink 3 L of water every day, live an active lifestyle (HIIT workouts mostly) avoid gluten, now avoid sugar and alcohol, and do "all the right things" including trying my best to get my stress in check. Dr. Cabral, what do you recommend I do next? I lack the money to keep paying for tests and supplements that yield no results. I just want to be sure I am spending in the right direction. I am committed to my recovery and follow every plan correctly; I just cant figure out what I am doing wrong. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my truncated story and answer my question. I love your podcast; I listen every morning and can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us all. Be well, Andrea First I want to say thank you for sharing your podcast and all of the guidance you have given to me and so many others. I cannot tell you how much I truly appreciate it.   Lindsey: Message: Hi Stephen Just wondering how much I should change my trainers (sneakers) if following a mixture of residence/ interval training 6 days a week as suggested by yourself ! I often get pain at the heel/ bottom of the foot on one side and I'm wondering if it's because of the shoes. I have about 10 pairs I rotate. X   Mari: Dr. Cabral, Several months ago my 9 year-old daughter was tested for food sensitivities via Igg test. She was found to be mildly allergic to gluten, dairy and eggs, which we immediately eliminated from her diet and all her GI symptoms went away. Huge relief! However, we also had our 3 year old son tested, although he had no GI, behavioral or other issues, we simply wanted to make sure he has no sensitivities like his sister's. To our shock his gluten, gliadin, dairy, eggs levels were off the chart, with mild citrus and almonds/cashews thrown in. Right away we eliminated all the culprits from his diet and surprisingly, he now has some skin irritation and often some mild GI symptoms, although it has been 3 months since we eliminated all the offending foods... Could it be that he is still sensitive to something that Igg test did not catch and would you recommend a better test (ALCAT ?) or repeat the same Igg test in a few months? I am really at loss, since we eat organic, non GMO foods and I feel like he was doing so much better before the initial test. Thank you for your help!   I hope you enjoyed the Q&A and all the tips along the way! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/351   - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

350: Best Vitamin B12, D3 vs. K2, Hormone Balance (HouseCall)

Hello and welcome back to our first #HouseCall of the weekend! We had some great entires over the past week or two from the community and here are today's questions: Gina: Hello. I am vegan and I need to get a B12 supplement. I understand that methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin and oral or sublingual is better than a pill. I found a liquid supplement online from a company called Global Healing that is 80% methyl and 20% adenosylcobalamin. Does this seem good to take or does Dr. Cabral recommend a better brand? Thank you so much.   Patty: Hello Dr Cabral I have been listening to your podcast for about 4 months now and I just love them. Thank you so much for all your helpful information, I really love listening to you and have learned so much. I know that you think it's very important for everyone to get enough vitamin D all year round to prevent serious health issues. And I believe so as well, but I have recently heard that if your are supplementing vitamin D that you must also be taking vitamin K2 or else you will be at a much higher risk for osteoporosis and heart disease. Is this true? What are your thoughts on this? Thank you.   Michelle: Hello again Dr. Cabral! Once again, thanks a million for ALL of your amazing information on your podcast and Instagram posts! My question for you today has to do with my monthly cycle. I am almost 47, probably in peri menopause, eat healthy and exercise regularly. About every 4th or 5th cycle, the first day of my cycle literally about takes me out--migraine, vomiting, horrible cramps, diarrhea. Why is this happening and is there something I can do or stop doing to help it? I have ordered and am waiting to receive your tissue mineral analysis test to start seeing what may be off. Obviously there may be some more testing to do. I also put your daily detox powder in my smoothie every morning.

344: Psoriasis/Arthritis, Itchy Scalp, Gout Symptoms (HouseCall)

Our 2nd #HouseCall of the weekend is here! And here are today's community questions & answers: Lindsey: Hi Stephen, I have been listening for a while and following on your Instagram page (which I like to recommend to all my followers too) for a while now. I am quite worried about my mum at the moment who was put on methotrexate a few years ago as her psoriasis and arthritis was so bad. (She has had it since being a teenager and is now 64) At the moment she has no immunity, she catches everything; colds, chest infections, sickness bugs etc and I don't think I've seen her well in a while. She is scared to come off this immune suppressor due to the pain/ discomfort that will come back but she currently hasn't go any quality of life anyway? How can you help her all the way from the UK? I've bought and done your detox etc so I'm aware of the products in your store but I'm not sure if you could help her here in the U.K with tests etc as you need blood turnarounds quickly etc. Thanks and keep up the good work Lindsey   Stacey: Hi, just wondering if you can do a podcast on dandruff, itchy, oily scalp and the root causes behind it. Solutions to heal! Thanks   "Mel from Australia" and "MN" your question did not come through... Please resubmit!   Shahna: Love the podcast and your approach and comprehensive explanations to health. The podcast is a daily must. Instagram is fabulous, too. Thank you! Now the question... My husband is 51 years old and has hardening of the skin on his toes, especially the pinky toe and hardening of the nails. To describe the affected nails they look clawlike and come to a point. He used to be an executive chef before our marriage of four years and indulged in food and drink along with his work, worked long hours on his feet and basically wore himself out for many years. He switched to an outdoor job approximately 15 years ago and thought the hardening occurred due to wearing boots. He suffered from gout like symptoms a few months ago and has agreed to a vegetarian diet for the majority of his diet. He is not overweight, maybe a bit of extra weight in his stomach. FYI I have purchased your detox program for both of us. He has the option of one or two weeks. He isn't taking a vitamin or supplement currently, but I did order for him your daily activated multi vitamin and will include your generous vitamin d with it. Please advise. Many, many heartfelt thanks. I am spreading the word. Thank you.   I hope you enjoyed the Q&A and all the tips along the way! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/344   - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

343: Hormone Replacement, Weight Loss Testing, Radiation Detox, Phone Support & Iodine Supplementation (HouseCall)

The first Cabral #HouseCall of the weekend is here and we have quite a show for today! The questions are amazing, as always, and hopefully I did each one justice... Check out today's community questions: Kate: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been working with a naturalpath for several years to help restore hormone balance (I'm a 32 yr. old female with severe estrogen dominance symptoms!). We have tried so many different things like, healing adrenals, boosting thyroid, anti-inflammatory plant based diet, etc. But my progesterone is still very low. Do you recommend BHRT? My doc wants to put me on it for a few months on days 11-28 of my cycle and see if she can "jumpstart" production? There is a lot of conflicting info when it comes to BHRT! Thoughts?   Rachna: Good morning I am interested in having the Weight Loss test done however, can you confirm if this test can be done for someone that lives in Canada? Thank you!   Chelsea: I have to have a CT scan, what are some things I can do to help offset the radiation in my system? Are there any detox products you recommend or any major uptick in certain foods? Will spending extra time doing grounding work help? What about an Epsom soak or infared sauna? Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question and thank you for your podcast, I appreciate the information you share.   Laura: Hi . Do you work with patients out of state by phone?   Bonnie: Hi Dr. Cabral, Can you please talk about iodine supplementation and if it is necessary? I have used sea salt for years and it does not contain iodine. I have read about the need for iodine supplementation in the absence of iodized salt, but the more I read, the more I am confused about how much to take, or if I even need it. Details about me, if needed: I am 38 years old, 5'7" and 114 pounds. I am healthy mother of 3 children, but have been struggling to balance some issues I believe are hormone related (hairloss/libido/mood/energy).

337: Dry Cracked Hands, Knee Pain, Vitamin Dosage & Profuse Sweating (HouseCall)

We're back with our 2nd HouseCall of the weekend! Here are today's community questions: Jeni: Hi Dr Cabral! I have a question regarding two of my boys. One is sixteen years old, the other is 7. Both suffer from super dry, cracked hands. They play with basketballs and footballs regularly, which seems to make their fingers spit and crack even more. It is extremely painful for them. Is there anything I can try that is natural, or anything I should be looking out for? We have tried them sleeping with cotton gloves with different things on their hands. That doesn't seem to help at all. Their doctors have prescribed steroid cream which I am against, but, again have tried. That didn't even touch the problem so after two weeks we stopped that. Any suggestions would be helpful!   Deb: Over the years I have exercised, danced and ran up and down stairs caring for my family. I have gardened or purchased most of our plant based foods from local farms. But now at age 63, I have experienced trouble with my right knee for about 3 years which flairs up whenever I used the steps, stand to long washing dishes or sit to long watching TV. When I get up in the morning so my knee hasn't been supporting weight, all is well until I use the steps. I am now about 30 lbs over weight and know that if I could lose the extra weight it will probably help but am limited as to what I can do. What could you suggest?   Ray S: I saw that you are giving away free bottles of vitamin this month and i know I should be taking it. Could you tell much how much though? Does it matter my age or weight? Does it matter what kind?   Andrew C: Thank you for all you do. I’m a long time listener, but just writing in for the first time… My question is that I am a profuse sweater and can’t seem to control it. I sweat through my shirt everyday and if I exercise I leave a pool of sweat wherever I am. Is this genetic and can I do anything about it? Thanks for your help!   Thank you for submitting your questions this week and I hope you enjoyed the Q&A and all the tips along the way! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/337 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

336: White Spots on Nails, Shadowing, Discounts & Spasms (HouseCall)

After a great start to the year reviewing many of the most popular topics for achieving your health, weight loss, and anti-aging goals, we're now going to answer our first community questions on today's Cabral HouseCall! Let's get started! Matthew: Hello Dr. Cabral I love listening to your podcast. I know that you can tell things about your health by looking at your nails, but what do white marks on my finger nails mean. Ive read it could be an iron deficiency but I wanted to know what you thought. Thanks.   Alexandra: Hi Dr. Cabral! My name is Alexandra. I've asked questions on your podcast in the past, and I keep up with your podcasts and Instagram posts daily. Thank you for putting all of your information out there for people like me! I've learned so much. You're one of the only people I've listened to who has the view on health and wellness as I aspire to have! I recently just graduated and am going back to school to complete a nutrition program, but want to practice holistically and have an integrative approach. Do you allow people to shadow in your practice? I would love to be able to sit in on one consultation, specifically pertaining to nutrition. I feel as if I would learn so much, probably more than any kind of 'clinical' rotation I would ever have in school. Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks for your time, Alex   Alana & Mark: Hello Stephen Cabral & team! My husband and I have both ordered your Parasite Protocol in the past and are seriously contemplating ordering 2 of your Genetic DNA Wellness Packages and 2 of your Food Sensitivity Testing Packages- however we know you offer discounts once a month on different things. As we are both listeners to your podcasts, will there be any discounts coming up on either of those tests we could use? We believe in investing in our health, for knowledge in this case truly is power, yet we want to do so wisely. Thank you, Alana & Mark   Emily: Hello Dr. Cabral.. I'm writing to ask you what I can do to help my boyfriend of 3 years.. long story short... he has a brain condition that's extremely rare, called palatal myoclonus. After years of no answers a Dr found nerves pressing in his brain, in the trigiminal region. He has has awful jaw and face spasms, painful head pressure, clicking in the ears, head fogginess, headaches upon waking etc..he has been through the ringer.. seen over 35 doctors and even had brain surgery 4 months ago. There are so many symptoms for this problem.. but his main issue is constant head pressure and pain. I don't know why I'm writing other than desperation or even really asking, just wondering if there's any type of pain relief treatment you could recommend. I'm an every day listener of your podcast and I really respect your work. Any response is greatly appreciated Thank you Emily   Thank you everyone for tuning in and I'll be back tomorrow answering more of your questions! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/336 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

333: The #1 Weight Loss Test for Discovering Underlying Root Causes (WW)

It's unfortunate that many people are told they are simply eating too many calories or not exercising enough, which is why they can't keep the weight off... That simply couldn't be any further from the truth... Sure, some people do eat too much and need to move more, but for the most part if you're trying to lose weight you've already reduced your calories and started to be more active... The problem is that losing weight and keeping it off forever is a metabolic issue and has far more to do with balancing your hormones than it does with "calories in vs. calories out..."

Why is it that almost everyone sets New Year's goals for them self, but 92% fail when it comes to achieving what they set out to do? (This literally means 9 out of 10 people never reach their goals!)

329: Auto Immune Low Thyroid, Mucus Production, Stop Running for Weight Loss? (HouseCall)

Today starts the first edition of the weekend 2nd back-to-back Holiday weekend #HouseCall!  I'm looking forward to answering all your questions today so let's get started: Erika: Hi Dr. Cabral - Thank you so much for your podcast. It literally has changed my life. I have been taking your daily greens and have grown to love it as a part of my daily morning routine. I am currently in the middle of your 7 day detox and also can't say enough good things about the daily nutritional support formula. Tastes great! Since being diagnosed with Hashimotos earlier this year... I have seen two endocrines who weren't a good fit for me, and continued to increase my medicine. I ended up with TSH levels starting at 7, and getting down over the last months to 0.02, 0.015 etc. I am 30, super fit, all my vitals are in line, and i eat healthy! i refuse to have to take thyroid medication for the rest of my life - especially since over the last 2 years it hasnt helped me feel any better! I have started to see a holistic doctor who came highly recommended, who also has his medical doctorate degree. He told me i could stop taking my T3 and T4 (which is what i REALLY wanted to hear).... but prescribed me LDN & Lithium. With regards to LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone) - I have done a ton of reading and I think i am comfortable taking it. He has me on 3mg, and i am only starting on half that amount per day so far. What are your thoughts on LDN?? With regards to Lithium, I am having a really hard time coming to terms with taking it. 90% of what i am reading online terrifies me, and so did the pharmacist when i picked up the perscription. I do not have bipolar disorder. The doctor i am seeing tested my lithium levels, and they were zero. He feels that lithium is a natural thing to take, and things the low dose of (150mg/day), is for supplemental purposes. However when i read about it online, i read it can cause manic episodes, interfere with my fertility, and even cause me to have hypothyroid! What is your opinion on taking low dose Lithium as a supplement for better health? Seriously cant thank you enough for your podcasts, your supplements and for answering our questions!!   Phillyus: I really enjoyed your tongue diagnosis show (TWT-311)! I have a question on the same subject that I didn't hear you cover during that episode. What does it mean when I create a lot of saliva in my mouth? Many thanks!   Jeovanni: I love to run, but heard you say it’s bad for me. Should i stop completely? I want lose weight, but can’t afford to join a gym and running seems like an easy thing for me to do everyday to lose weight. Please help. Thanks you!!   I hope you enjoyed today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to tune back in tomorrow for 3 more Q&As! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/329 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

323: Should You Detox, Vaginal Yeast Infections, Top Coffee Enema Kit (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our 2nd Cabral Holiday #HouseCall this weekend! I'm glad to have you listening and can't wait to share the community questions we had come in on today's show: Vrajhi (Vruh Zhy) Hello Dr Cabral. I have been listening to your podcasts for a few months now and I just wanted to thank you for all that you do. You have helped me to learn so much about what is going on with my body and how I can change the dysfunction of my body naturally. My husband and I have been saving up to order the 21 day detox, and we are really excited about it. However, over the last month I have began to think that may not be where I should start. I know I have problems with leaky gut(since I'm gluten sensitive) and maybe even candida, and also have the impressions on my tongue that you talked about last week (episode 302), so I know my digestion is not up to par. I, also, look forward to your episode on tongue diagnosis. I was diagnosed with PCOS, sleep apnea, arthritis, and sjogren's syndrome at the tender age of 25(4 years ago). I always feel thirsty except when I am not drinking water, but I love water. I do not sweat often, but I have problems with a sweaty smell in my armpit area. There are other things, but I really would just like to know where I should start? There are plenty of tests I can run, but I cannot run them all. Please show me where to start and thank you so very much!   Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral, My name is Amy and I am a registered dietitian. I listen to your podcasts and absolutely LOVE them. I appreciate all the information you provide. Thank you! I had a question about which supplement you would suggest for myself. I get vaginal yeast infections frequently and was wondering if I should look into either the Candida Clean or the Candida and Bacterial Complete Protocol?

316: Birth Control Acne, Adderall Dangers, LeakyGut/SIBO/Liver Protocol (HouseCall)

Part 2 of the weekend Cabral #HouseCall is here and I'm looking forward to answering 3 more of your questions today! Here are our next community questions up to be answered: Dee: Hi Stephen.. greetings from Ireland! In the past month I have stopped taking birth control pills, I was on it for a very long time (15yrs) I'm eating great, exercising, sleeping and generally feeling really well but my skin is going a little haywire!! Especially along my jawline which I understand is linked to hormones. My question is this.. is there anything I can do to help it calm down? The only supplements I take are Cod Liver Oil and a probiotic... I'd really love your advice! Thanks in advance.. you're an inspiration! Dee x   Edith: Hi Dr. Cabral, Do you have any thoughts about long term use of adderal on the brain? I have both ADHD and stage 3 adrenal fatigue per my Naturopath. I have asked my psychiatrist if ADderal is bad for adrenal Fatigue and he laughed and said adrenal fatigue doesn't even exist. What are your thoughts? I know I need to stop but I rely on it for energy.   Vivek: Thanks Dr. Cabral, for all your help!! I have been on quite the journey making a lot of progress with many aspects of my health but feel there are things I can still improve on. I have worked with many functional doctors, naturopaths, metabolic nutritionists and done elaborate tests and protocols. I have been noticing my liver area and sometimes the left side under my rib cage feel tender/ feeling heavy. I still have some skin itchiness and rashes/irritation, minor hair loss in patches/ eyebrows, and hands get hot/cold as well as chills in my body/feet in the evening. There is a tongue coating, and stale breath at times, I also had elevated liver enzymes and SIBO, and have a feeling that that my gut health is a result of my liver health.    Thank you for tuning in to the Q&A and all the tips thrown in along the way! - - -  Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/316 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

Can you believe it's already the weekend? That can mean only one thing... We're back answering all of our community's questions on all things health, wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging! Here are today's questions: Jill S: Is it okay for me to do the detox (Dr. Cabral Detox) while I have my period. Also, is it normal not to lose as much weight the week before my period? Thanks!   Morghan: Thank you for sharing so much information via your podcast! Quick question in regard to episode #300, would you recommend the same immunity protocol during pregnancy? It's so hard getting accurate information on holistic treatments during pregnancy. Thank you for your help   Jasmine: what protocal should I start for for parents aged 68 and 73 years old. They have been on Omeprazole for decades. I need to convince them into dietary changes and if possible I would like you to suggest what supllements I should order from your for them. Both of them have had their gall bladder removed years ago, but have not been concerned about any changes of diet. Thank you!   Justine: Hi! My friend got me hooked on your podcasts and I love them! I struggle with mild acne, but to me, it's severe. Every time I get a pimple it leaves a mark, even if I don't try to pop it. It looks like I have chicken pox! I live a healthy lifestyle. Weight train/do cardio 6 days a week, maintain a healthy diet but definitely have my cheat days. I swear no matter what I've taken (birth control, spironolactone) or skin treatment I've done nothing fully works. My acne never fully goes away and I'm at the point where I'm so self consious I don't want to go out. I'm headed down the acutane path... Not what I want to do but I feel as though I'm at a loss and just want results. Please help! What do you suggest? How can I get healthy, glowing, no mark skin without taking an intense drug? Thank you in advance and sorry this was so long!   Thank you for listening and be sure to check back tomorrow where I answer 3 more of our community questions! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/315 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

We're back with Day 2 of the Cabral HouseCall shows and I'm looking forward to tackling a brand new group of your questions! Now let's get into the community questions for the day: Michelle: Hi Dr. Cabral. I was wondering what your thoughts on inversion tables are? I do not have back problems but have been thinking about getting one to use more like getting massages---it's just a healthy thing to do. I would love to know your opinion. If you have talked about this already then please just point me to that episode. Thanks again, Michelle   Britney: I had chest pain and was told that I have costochondritis. How you you get costochondritis, what are natural ways to get rid of it, and how can I prevent a flare up of chest pain? Does dairy make costochondritis worse because it causes inflammation? Which upper body exercises are safe to do that will not make my chest hurt or make costochondritis worse? Thank you!! Britney   Jessi: Helo! I have constant neck pain, and seem to tweak my neck very easily. the stiff neck and pain last for about 5 days... pain in between lower skull and top of shoulder. Left or fight side, always changing. I know I have poor posture, but find it so hard to really make any changes since I sit at a computer all day. Are there top stretches that can actually change your posture? Is posture why the pain occurs so easily? How long realistically would it take to change posture with stretching? thank you.   Anon: Good day Dr Cabral, i know its best to cook at home where i can control exactly what i'm eating. However, Could you recommend some healthy chain restaurants to eat at? Thank you!   I hope you enjoyed this weekend's HouseCalls and all the tips inside and out of each question! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/309 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

306: Does Your Body Feel Stiff, Tight, or Locked Up? (TT)

We've been led to believe that when you're feeling tight or inflexible that more stretching will help... But, what happens when you've been stretching for some time and you're still stiff? Do you just keep stretching more? The answer is no... The truth is that the human body becomes stiff for many reasons and working out is just one of them. Poor posture, mineral imbalance, inflammation, repetitive motion, and poor oxygenation are all overlooked reasons for muscle and joint stiffness... However, the biggest reason you may be locked up is due to nervous system tension, and no amount of stretching is going to get your muscles to relax until you add one missing technique that almost no one uses or teaches... Tune into #CabralConcept 306 for details on the causes of why you feel so tight and how you can reverse this process to protect your hips, lower back, neck, shoulders, and the rest of your body for a lifetime of easy movement - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/306 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

305: What To Do When Your Plan Fails (WW)

Are you frustrated by your results? Have you ever tried the same exact plan a friend, family member, or coworker used to get results, but when you did it your outcome didn't match up? There is a reason for this, and your attempts haven't been failures. Instead, they are proving exactly what the issue is, since if you're on a weight loss or wellness plan and you're not getting the same results, it signals there is a deeper underlying imbalance. This means that doing more of the same is most likely not going to get you a different result. A new, more personalized approach must be taken to undo years of developing this root cause imbalance...

304: The 5 Foods That Cause Anxiety and Insomnia (TWT)

The problem with psychology is that we treat the brain independently from the body... And unless I'm missing something, the body has always been attached to the head and vice versa. This means that your psychology (thinking) can affect your physiology (body). And the reverse is also true. If your body is inflamed, stressed, bloated, or lacking nutrients, your brain will receive signals that something is wrong. In turn, your brain sends you signals that appear as anxiety, panic attacks, a racing mind/insomnia, and more... The trick is to always look for the underlying root causes holding you back from becoming well again. Today, on #CabralConcept 304 I share with you 5 foods that can cause anxiety and insomnia, plus many more tips - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/304 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

302: Sluggish Colon, Free Online Workout, Scalloped Tongue, Asthma Relief (HouseCall)

I'm excited to bring you 3 new community questions and one free workout program download today! So, let's get right to them - Here are the community questions for today's Cabral #HouseCall: Carol: First, I started listening to your podcasts a couple months ago and love them and really appreciate that you take time out of your busy schedule to do this. I listened to your constipation podcast yesterday on Colon Cleansing: Colonics vs. Enemas vs. Powders vs. Teas. I think you mentioned you were going to do another podcast on constipation so I thought I'd send my question to you to see if you can help. I have had chronic constipation for as long as I can remember. Even as a young girl I remember having stabbing abdominal pain. I've been to many doctors. Some have patted me on the head and sent me home, some have told me to eat more fiber and/or take fiber. Fiber doesn't help. I eventually went to a Holistic doctor and he recommended that I take Magnesium. Finally something that got things moving! Unfortunately, I have to take pretty high doses (800-1200mg) every night and even that doesn't guarantee that I will have a bowel movement the next day. I don't know if people realize how uncomfortable it can be to not have a bowel moment for days and/or weeks! Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you!   Carolina: Thank you so much for the Holiday Workout PDF! I was one of those people that only did cardio because I thought it was the best way to lose weight or stay in shape. But then I started training with weights after listening to your podcasts. I'm still an amateur at this so this is tool is a great help. Please keep them coming! Thank you Dr. Cabral, I am so glad I found your podcast! http://StephenCabral.com/292   Michele: Hi Stephen Cabral, I've noticed the sides of my tongue appear 'scalloped' I'm wondering what might be causing this, and what I can do to fix this. I looked up some causes online but don't feel I fall into any of these categories. I don't have HBP or thyroid problems, and I'm not dehydrated. I am in very good health and I exercise 3-4 days a week. Thank you for any information you can pass on to me. I love your podcast! Warm regards, Michele   Mike: Hi Stephen, I've been suffering from asthma for as long as I can remember. However in my late teens/ early adult years, asthma seemed none existent for many years. Then all of a sudden it came back and I've been suffering ever since. Cold weather, smoke, stress, being around animals all seem to bring on an asthma attack. So does working out, however when I work out for a long period of time, that seems to help. Any recommendations on what I can do to control it better or get rid of asthma all together?

301: How to Put on Weight/Muscle, German Fatigue, Teenage Constipation (HouseCall)

The weekend #HouseCall is here! This weekend I'll be revealing a lot of information and methodologies as to how I practice natural medicine and help people with the healing process... So let's get started with the community questions! Alex: Hi Dr. Cabral! I listen to your podcast every day, and have learned so much since I've started, so thank you. I've asked a question before, but I'm back for another! Through messaging on Instagram, someone reached out for tips to eating healthier when their ultimate goal is to gain muscle. Most of my posts are of healthy foods, but he was interested in tips for getting a higher quantity of foods, while still eating foods good for your body. I've also stumbled upon the hashtag #IIFYM (if it fits your macros), and it sometimes contains things like Pop-tarts, chips ahoy, candy bars, etc, just because it fits 'their macros.' I know one of the olympic weight lifters is vegan, so I know a more plant based diet when building muscle is possible, but I was wondering if you had any tips. I told him I wanted to reach out to an ND and would love to share your website and what you have to say with him. Thank you!! Alex   Christine: Dear Dr. Cabral, first let me - as a long time listener from Germany - thank you for your great podcast! You do a fabulous job! I have a question about energy level, tiredness and exhaustion: I am 40 years old, married, no kids. With 5,5ft and 108 pound I am a little underweight. I suffer from low energy as long as I can remember. In the mornings I wake up exhausted, even though I get 7.5 - 8hrs of dead-like sleep. In the evening after work the only thing I want to do is resting on the couch. No going out, no meeting friends, let alone party for me! I am just tired all the time. So much so, that some evenings when I sit for dinner with my husband I do not even know if I am awake or sleeping. My whole appearance, my pale skin, my eye circles, my disinterest in fun things, my difficulty to work with concentration shows empty batteries. Two days a month I am additionally knocked out with hormonal migraine, but that only as a side note. I think my eating habits are good: I have a green smoothie with lin- or chia-seed and a scoop of protein powder or a budwig-cream (quark, flaxseed oil, millet and fruit) for breakfast. For lunch I have a homemade salad with toppings like avocado, seeds, nuts, cheese etc. and a self baked whole grain bread. In the evening I mostly have vegetables with some source of protein like chicken or fish or tofu. I drink one cup of coffee, the rest of the day only herbal tea and water - hardly ever alcohol. I don't like sweets or salty snacks, except for dark chocolate every now and then. I am not the sporty type but at least I bike to work2.5 miles each way the whole year round. A blood work I got done in spring didn't show any abnormalities, like a lack of minerals or vitamins or any signs of thyroid imbalances ( I have Morbus Hashimoto in my family, so I thought maybe I have it too, but no signs of it in my blood) All this leaves me at the end of my wisdom. Do you have any idea what I could do to not be tired all the time? Thank you so much in advance for any tips or hints. Best regards, Christine   Madelin: Hello my name is Madelin I have a 17 year old daughter. She suffers from constipation constantly I've given her colon cleanse properties prune juice a lot of other things I don't know what to give her any more she can last up to 4 days without using the restroom please help   I hope you enjoyed today's Q&A and all the tips thrown in along the way!   - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/301 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

295: Anti-depressant Alternatives, Erectile Dysfunction, Sore Throat Treatment (Housecall)

Can you believe another week has come and gone and already we're back to our Sunday Cabral #HouseCall... Today, we're answering some excellent questions turned in by the community over the past week and I can't wait to share those answers with you - let's get started! 1. Jessica: Hello, Dr. Cabral! Thank you for putting out these informative podcasts. I've been on zoloft consistently for about 5 years now. As a child I was told I had a chemical imbalance and have been a slave to the antidepressant ever sense. Ideally, I would really like to set myself free from it. What would you recommend taking as a healthy/natural alternative to it? 2. Thomas: I know this is a loaded question because the cause can range from low T to lack of blood flow. What are some proven strategies or supplements for ED. 3. Marie: Hello Dr. Cabral! I talk about your podcast daily and have been learning so much since discovering it last summer. My husband lost lots of weight on your 21 day detox and I took the IgG allergy test and have been really benefitting from meeting with Julia and discussing the results. From the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU SO MUCH - for sharing your knowledge and passion - its a daily inspiration! My question is for my sister-in-law, Harmony - She's been having a lot of neck pain and her uvula is very swollen. She went to urgent care and the Dr there told her she had a peritonsillar abscess. He gave her an antibiotic shot and a prescription for Bacrum and Prednisone to take. He said she needed to get it drained by an ENT and get her tonsils removed. I was wondering if you know of any natural remedies and/or a more wholistic approach to help resolve this issue.   Thank you for for listening in on this great Q&A and I look forward to bringing you one of my favorite Motivation & Monday shows tomorrow! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/295 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

294: Candida Feeding Foods, Weird Wart Remedy, Daily Routine Rhythms (HouseCall)

Our first House Call of the weekend is here! We have some fantastic questions to tackle this week, so let's get right into them: 1. Em: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've been tested to have high levels of Candida Albicans (5.61 on my IgG test). Could I still eat kimchi and put apple cider vinegar on my salads? What food should I avoid? Thanks! 2. Daniel: What is the functional medicine remedy for warts? I know sometimes they just go away but I have one under a fingernail that seems to be here to stay. I've tried conventional OTC products but they don't seem to have much effect. Is there a diet issue here 3. Reagan: Hi Dr. Cabral! I had a question regarding episode #283 on Tuesday. I love and agree with creating natural rhythms in my daily life. The problem is I work at Starbucks 4 days a week. ... which means one day I'll have to get up at 4:15 am to be there for 5am. Another day I have to be there for 5:30am. Another day I have to be there for 7am.. it's all over the place. Wednesday is my day off so I get to sleep in later. I can't get up the same time everyday. I do try to eat dinner no later then 7 and try to be in bed by 9pm. Any suggestions on how to create a natural rhythm in the mornings or is it hopeless!? Thanks so much!   Have a great start to your weekend and be sure to tune back in tomorrow for part 2 of our Cabral #HouseCall!   - - -  Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/294 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

291: How to Eat Well on the Holidays (WW)

Ever since I was little I've always loved the holidays... Back then, it was more about gift giving, but as I grew up I understood the joy really came from gathering family and friends to enjoy each other's company and share a meal together... However, sometimes the temptation of all that food can cause us to binge or go a bit overboard. At the time, it may not seem that bad, but if you're trying to stay healthy and/or keep the weight off overeating can cause you to feel terrible for the next few days (or weeks!)...

Constipation and bloating are such major issues because of the pain and suffering people go through while dealing with those symptoms...

And on top of all that there are so many different "solutions" to choose from, it makes it difficult to know what's right and if you're doing more harm than good...

287: Keto Diet Myths, Alkaline Water, Estrogen Dominance, Fall Smoothies (HouseCall)

It's time to get started with today's first edition of this weekend's Cabral #HouseCall! Here are today's community questions: 1. Suzanna: Hi, Thanks for all your invaluable info. I'm a personal trainer and listen to your podcasts using a lot of your advice to help my own clients. I was listening to 4th Nov podcast about juicing where you mentioned the ketogenic diet. You said you don't agree with it long term and that you don't use it for more than 3 weeks with your clients. Would you please elaborate on this and tell me your reasons. I ask because firstly I thought it took more than 3 weeks to actually get into nutritional ketosis so wondered why you stopped the diet so soon and secondly. I myself have been eating keto for 2 1/2 years. My blood has recently been checked and my thyroid, liver, kidneys, blood sugar is normal. I had gestational diabetes in my last pregnancy 3 1/2 years ago, gained 10kg and the only way I could lose the weight was by doing keto. If I eat carbs I'm the form of sweet potatoes, carrots, apples ect I find it very very difficult to stop eating. I also get bloating, constipation and just feel horrible.   2. Dan: Good Afternoon Stephen, Thank you for taking your time to share your knowledge on your podcasts. I have always wondered about water. Two thirds of our body is made up of water. What is the best type of water to drink? There is purified by reverse osmosis with minerals added which is the one I think is best. My Chiropractor tells me I should be drinking Kagan water which is Ionized Alkaline water. There is Mineral water, Spring water, and distilled water. What about tap water with a Brita or Pure filter? Please offer your insight to which type of water would give our bodies the hydration that it will operate best with. Thank you.   3. Sonya: Hello, Thanks for putting out such informative podcasts. We listen to you all the time. We recently learned about DIM to help with estrogen dominance and how it helps to and I would really like to find out what your thoughts are. Also, if this is something you recommend, are there brands you recommend? Thank you so much in advance.    4. Elizabeth: How do you detox in the fall when juicing / smoothies are your enemy and all you want is soup?   Enjoy today's Q&A and be sure to check back tomorrow for another 4 community questions!   - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/287 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

286: Why You Need a Water Filter & The Best Water Filters to Buy (FR)

The most important thing you put in your body is water. Most of us don't drink enough of it. However, total consumption isn't even the biggest problem we're dealing with when it comes to our drinking water... Did you know that EVERY major city tested in the U.S. found contaminants and dozens of pharmaceutical drugs in their tap water supply? Known cancer causing and brain-damaging chemicals like mercury, lead, aluminum, fluoride, and chlorine (in addition to the anti-depressant drugs found) are allowed to pollute our drinking water... Yet, most people are never made aware of the dangers lurking every time they turn on their kitchen faucet, shower, or bath. Hopefully by now you also understand your government is complicit in this and is not going to do anything about it... Therefore, it's our job to take control of our health. This means purchasing the best quality water filter you can afford. So on today's #CabralConcept 286 I am reviewing the best water filters you can buy for all budgets - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/286 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

285: Energy Drink & Pre-Workout Supplement Dangers (TT)

Almost everyone that comes to see me in my practice would love a little more energy (sometimes a lot more), but increasing energy by artificial means is not the answer and often times can be downright dangerous... Your body's own natural cortisol and hormone rhythms need to be respected and understood - but unfortunately many supplement manufacturers don't care about long-term damage by causing excess adrenal output and how it can lead to a future of burnout and a depressed mind and body... On today's Cabral Concept 285 I explain some of the ingredients you'll want to watch out for in your "energy boosting" supplements, as well as a few products that actually do work and are safer to use on an ongoing basis.

284: Best & Worst Sweeteners for Weight Loss & Wellness (WW)

I know most people are trying to avoid processed sugar, and rightly so, but did you know that zero-calorie, artificial sweeteners are actually more dangerous than sugar itself? For example, Aspartame has been shown to cause neurological issues, birth defects, low mood, poor concentration, fatigue, ADD/ADHD, eye problems, hormone imbalances, and potentially even a link to cancer... But this is just one of many legal artificial sweeteners to be allowed to be sold to children and adults, which is placed in common products like toothpaste, cough syrup, gum, and diet drinks without you even knowing...

281: Blood Type Diet, Vaginal Infections, Noisy Stomach, Premature Graying Hair, Graves' Disease (HouseCall)

We're back with the 2nd edition of the weekend Cabral #HouseCall ! Here are today's community questions I'll be answering: Jen: Hi! I have two questions I've been thinking about and thought maybe they could be good for the podcast. One only affects half of the population, as you'll see: 1) what are your thoughts on the blood type diet? 2) what are your natural recommendations for common vaginal infections such as yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis?   Anonymous: Why does my stomach make so much noise?!??!!! It doesn't matter whether I have eaten or not it is always gurgling. This has happened for years. I have been plant-based for two years and thought that would have helped but, stomach still makes noise. I take probiotics. I drink kombucha. I have ACV... I can not tell that anything specific helps. Also, I can feel bubbling in the lower right quadrant of my abdomen, where I sometimes experience discomfort. (I could go on with more but I won't get too carried away. Wish I was closer...) Help with the noise, PLEASE, it is no fun in quiet work meetings.   Fro: Dr. Cabral, First, thank you so much for picking up my question respective chronic constipation; I look forward to your whole podcast about the topic!! Secondly, I've had greying hair since mid-end of my 20s and now with 35, I have a ton of grey hair. Is there a natural way to stop and/or reverse greying of hair? Thank you.   Fro: And last but not least, a dear cousin of mine has been dealing with grave's disease and various unpleasant symptoms thereof for a few years now and her doctor has been prescribing rather radical treatments (in my opinion), the latest to include the recommendation of eye surgery for the abnormal protrusion affecting one of her eyes...I cannot help but think that the treatments are short-term methods intended to mask the symptoms rather than addressing/treating the underlying cause for the disease. I thought I'd reach out to you! I'd appreciate any advice you might have!

The Cabral #HouseCall weekend edition is here!  Today we are answering more of our Community's questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging so let's get started!   Erika: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for your wonderful podcast. I am so happy to have discovered it. I have two questions for you. I have been recently diagnosed with hashimotos, and am taking T3 and T4. The one thing that has yet to improve is that I am still ALWAYS cold. I am an athlete, work out, eat relatively clean, have low normal body fat, and at a healthy weight. Why am I always cold? Before the medication it was much worse,... but even with T3 and T4 it still isnt much better.   Erika: The second question I have is around my stools. I read somewhere that if your stool is always floating that is a bad thing, and could mean I have digestion issues. Is that true? This isnt just once in a while for me, it is always. Thanks!   Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral- I had an allergy test done when I suspected that I had a reaction to peanuts. The test revealed a peanut allergy but also a corn and wheat allergy. I like using a greens powder in my smoothie, but almost all of them have wheat grass powder. I avoid eating bread and flour products, but should I avoid wheatgrass too? Thank you !   Anna: Thank You for all you do! 1.My boyfriend has "athlete's foot" or toe fungus. He has been putting various CVS/Walmart creams on it, that don't seem to be working. I told him to go natural route, but he gets overwhelmed with the options online. He has had this for years, since "football in college" and he is now 35. What can he do?    Thank you for tuning in and I hope you enjoy all tips! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/280 - - - Get Your Questions Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I don't think I would be where I am today without my 1-2 smoothie a day habit...

277: Best Probiotics for Weight Loss & Maintenance (WW)

A lot of people believe that cutting edge medical science is reserved for pharmaceutical drugs only, but that couldn't be any further from the truth... And there's almost no better example of this then when looking at Functional Medicine nutritional supplements (not the ones at your local Costco, Walmart or drug store)... The same peer-reviewed research goes into true health supporting supplements and an excellent example of that are the specific strains studied that have been proven to aid in weight loss, glucose support, and balancing gut bacteria... Listen in on today's #CabralConcept 277 as I list which strains are the best for losing weight and maintaining it and the specific discoveries scientists made as to why this is the case...

273: Herpes/Cold Sore Remedy, Bumps on Scalp, Light Sleeper, Parasite Protocol Length (HouseCall)

We're back with our 1st Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! Here are today's questions: Anon Female: Herpes/Cold Sores Remedy I'm wondering if you could cover the following topics on your podcast: I know you did a quick segment on herpes (type 1, simplex) on your show once, but I'd really love for you to cover this in more detail. I've been getting cold sores on my face (lip, nose, eyes) since I was a little girl and still go through periods where I'm getting them all the time. If I can take valtrex/acyclovir right on it's emergence, I'm usually okay, but if not, it gets really bad. I hate to take this medication, as it's the only thing i will ever take (I won't even take advil!). Is there anything I can do, a certain protocol, that will keep the herpes dormant?   Anon: I've had 1-2 cysts on my scalp for the last 2-3 years and they don't seem to be going away. They're not getting any bigger, however, just staying the same. I recently just discovered a new one. They're small, probably about 1/8 of an inch in diameter and not red or visible, but I can feel them. Why is this occurring? And is there anything I can do about it? Thank you!   Jessie: hello. First off thank you for trying to help pass along the good word of health. My question is, I have started wearing earplugs to bed at night because i am an extremely light sleeper. EXTREMELY. I need room pitch black, and any sound will wake me. It seems to be helping me get a better sleep, but bothers my ears since not that comfortable.... I have also started to notice a ringing in my ears at night. Are these connected? Is being a light sleeper a sign of ill health? Is there another way to get more sound sleep?   Alana: Hello, Stephen Cabral & team! I have been listening to all of your podcasts (and interact with your instagram as @reachalana)- I just purchased your Parasite Cleanse Protocol tonight and cannot wait to start it ASAP (yes, I did priority shipping). I had a quick question: you say on the product description that "it's not enough to do a 3 or 4 week parasite cleanse". Does that mean I need to order 2 of the sets to use back-to-back? Please clarify. Also, are there detailed instructions that come with the Parasite Cleanse Protocol?

20 years ago, my digestive system was barely functioning. I had trouble breaking down even easy to digest foods... This led to a gradual weakening of my body and immune system, which resulted in a host of fatigue, GI, skin, auto-immune, brain fog, and other conditions... It wasn't until I found out about the healing power of smoothies that I actually began to rebuild my body from the inside out. For the first time, I was able to absorb the nutrition from the pre-digested liquid smoothies and my body began to rapidly change... But, not all smoothies are created equal (some are actually harmful), and as a result some people are not getting the benefits that they deserve... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 270 to get the same exact wellness & weight loss smoothie recipes that I give my private clients in my Boston Naturopathic Medicine practice! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/270 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

269: Is Coffee Good or Bad for You? (TWT)

There's probably no other plant based food in the world with more controversy and arguments over it than coffee... On one side, we have the coffee proponents who talk about its high levels of antioxidants and the research showing it can improve everything from cardiovascular function to decreasing Alzheimer's... Then, there are the anti-coffee advocates with an equaling compelling argument that coffee can over-stimulate the adrenal glands, cause burn out, and harm digestive function... So who's right? i think the answer will surprise you, and I'll share it with you in more depth today on the #CabralConcept 269 podcast - enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/269 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

268: You're Supposed to Change! (MM)

Somewhere along the way most of us bought into a false belief that is holding us back from achieving greater things in our life... We've been brainwashed into thinking that "changing," or becoming more than what we were brought up in, is somehow bad or disrespectful to our current friends, family or co-workers... This type of thinking forces us to set small goals and never really feel fully realized or alive. It's also this mentality that leaves us with a life-time of regret of what might have been... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 268 to find out why this thinking occurs and how to break the cycle, so that you too can enjoy the life you've always wanted to live! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/268 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

267: Teeth Grinding, Fatlossity Diet, Eczema, Inositol for Anxiety (HouseCall)

The 2nd Cabral House Call of the weekend is here and I'm looking forward to tackling your most important and pressing questions today! Here's what the topics are for today's show:   Emily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I grind my teeth loudly when I sleep. My teeth also hurts often and sensitive to heat/cold. Any recommendations on how to fix this? Thanks!   Ann:  Hi Dr. Cabral, We really liked episode 254, its always nice to hear what rules and guidelines other people set for themselves in the way of healthy choices. Also, if you didn't receive the email we sent, we wanted to thank you so much for the bizarre recommendation (episode 246) of placing a bar of soap at the foot of the bed to help with symptoms of RLS (restless leg syndrome) It actually WORKS! We look forward to each and every podcast. Have a great day.  + Hi Dr. Cabral, I was thinking of purchasing the Fatlossity Diet Plan manual, could you explain more about this product. Is it intended for short term, or a long term way of nutritional eating? Thanks!   Dee: Any suggestions on a quick and drug free way to get rid of a dyshidrotic eczema rash? I deal with them from time to time. I understand rashes stem from the liver, so I'm juicing and eating raw, taking milk thistle and using coffee enemas. I'm also doing vinegar and domeboro soaks, and using shea butter mixed with lavendar and frankincense. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.   Elizabeth: Hi Stephen, I have read Inositol is good for that "get up and go feeling" and any anxiety/irritability, do you have any thoughts on this product? Love listening to your shows, Thanks! :)  - Take with B   Thank you for listening in this week and I'll talk with you tomorrow on our Mindset & Motivation Monday show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/267 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

266: Elimination Diet, Bloating, Supplement Timing, Back Issues, Toe Nail Infections (HouseCall)

Welcome back to another Cabral HouseCall weekend! Today we're taking more calls from the community and we've got some great questions today! So let's get started:   Rebecca: Hi Dr Cabral, LOVE your podcast. Thank you so much for all of the helpful information you provide. I have several questions I'd love to ask but here are my top 3 for now: 1) What are your thoughts on digestive enzymes? After trying the GAPS, low FODMAP, and other elimination diets as well as probiotics, digestive enzymes are the only thing that have helped with my bloating/distended stomach. It hasn't cured me of it  but it has significantly reduced it so that it doesn't occur every day. 2) Have you heard of Longevity Coffee, and if so, do you recommend it?   Donna: I’ve recently been introduced to your podcasts and I'm finding them timely, informative and enjoyable. I'm having a particularly challenging time right now, from all directions. This evening, as I was having a pity party, your podcast popped into my head. I gave myself the "10X" test and reminded myself to 1. be thankful that things aren't worse and 2. to focus on creating positive change. My question about supplements is something I've wondered about for a long time...when is the optimal time to take them...morning, midday or before going to bed?   Erin: Hi! I'm 26 yr old female. 2 years ago I got in a car accident that burst fractured my L1. Ever since I have not felt the same and all doctors have done is prescribe pills that block pain receptors. I am struggling with intense leg spasms almost every morning. They last 10-30 seconds and is very painful. It has not seemed to get better even with working out and occasional stretching. I eat a lot of potassium which only temporarily helps. Maybe one day and the muscle cramps are back. What can you suggest?   Anonymous:  Hi Stephen, I have a toe nail infection in both big toes and both toe nails have now come off. Is it unsual to have both toe nails infected? I don't know how or why this happened. A new nail is growing underneath but I am not sure if the infection has gone. What is best to treat this, I have read topical oregano oil may be good?   Enjoy the show and be sure to tune back in tomorrow where we answer 4 more and completely different community questions! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/266 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

260: Psoriasis & AutoImmune "Cure," ADHD/ADD "Cure," Safer Deadlifts (HouseCall)

The 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend is here where we're answering your questions that have come in over the past few weeks! So let's get started and here are today's community questions: Susan: Hello Dr Cabral I am an avid podcast listener and am so disappointed you are in Boston! I think you need to open a Toronto clinic! My question is about psoriasis. I have it but not too bad - scalp only. My 2 daughters have developed it as well one is 16 one is 7 . The 7 year old developed it after she scraped her knee. Just wondering what I could try to get rid of it and if you can "cure" this auto immune issue thru diet. Most information seems to say no. Also looking online and various studies show that people who get psoriasis before the age of 25 have a shortened life span. This is disturbing for me and looking for some help. Susan   Max: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm writing on behalf of my friend Sally - she has a 12 year old son diagnosed with ADHD. She has not, nor does she want to get him on medication to treat it. Now that those teen hormones are kicking in, they are struggling. Do you have any recommendations or suggestions on how to help them navigate and or treat ADHD? Thank you! Maxiel   Chad: Thanks for all of the great info!! What are your thoughts on the trap bar deadlift? It works the anterior chain more than a traditional deadlift, so is it a good substitute in a routine for squatting and deadlifting since it seems to be a combination of the two? I used to squat heavy, but now I’m no longer of fan of loading my spine with heavy weights   Me: How I choose labs & supplements - Safety first   Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/260 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

253: Capsules vs. Powder, Prostate Growth, Carbs for Women, Magnesium Oil Burn (HouseCall)

I'm excited to be back with our 2nd Cabral House Call of the weekend! Right now, we're going to answer 4 of your questions on: Chad: Is it a good idea to empty out contents of vitamins/supplements that come in capsule form, into say a smoothie, rather than consume the vegetarian capsule itself? Thanks so much Erika: Hi Mr. Cabral, My Dad just recently had a "growth" on his prostate which he had surgically removed. "it wasn't cancerous" so he thinks he now has nothing to worry about. I am sure a growth is a sign of an unhealthy body and more bad new to come? Is this true? He needs to know this was a sign to change his ways, and is very stubborn in changing his diet. He does eat red meat weekly and just recently stopped consuming cows milk. Please help is persuading him to realize this was a sign. And do you see it as a precursor to cancer from past experience? Is there anything else you recommend? Thank you for all that you do! Erika Tara: Is there a certain amount of carbs women should be eating every day, even if they're trying to lose weight? I've heard that you should stick to under 50 grams of "healthy" carbs for weight loss and none of those from grains or beans, but then I've also heard that women in general don't do well eating under 100 g a day, because of cortisol and adrenal factors. What does your experience tell you? Is it fine long term to eat only non-starchy vegetables for carbs, with no grains/rice, beans or legumes? Thanks! Chloe: So I started using pure magnesium oil spray and I got an itchy sunburn like feeling from a few sprays on both arms and legs. I couldn't wait to wash it off! Apparently this reaction could mean a magnesium deficiency, wondered what your take is on this and should I stop using it? Thanks Stephen!

Some people seem to be born with strong willpower and a knack for easily sliding into healthy habits and sticking to them, while others trudge through day in and day out trying their hardest to stick with a plan... The truth is though that everyone develops habits in the same way, it's just that not everyone is conscious of how they're doing it... Today, on #CabralConcept 240 I'm going to break down the psychology and demystify how anyone can begin to develop a range of habits that will serve them and help them accomplish any goal they set for themselves!

237: The Disease Delusion, D2 vs D3 Supplements, Best Alarm Clock Ever (FR)

I'm back with another #FridayReview and today I want to share with you a fantastic book on Functional Medicine, as well as clear up some misconceptions on a popular vitamin! Functional Medicine focuses on more than just the symptoms you are experiencing when you suffer from a chronic health condition - It instead looks at the underlying root cause keeping you from becoming well again... Today's book talks about this healing process in more depth! We all know vitamin D is crucial for our overall health & wellbeing, and you'll see many of your processed foods fortified with Vitamin D2, but is that really the best form for you to utilize and absorb?  And lastly, I'm doing my final recap on the most popular alarm clock that actually simulates the sun rising to wake you up - no more air raid sirens startling you out of bed!

235: When NOT to Use Longer Intermittent Fasts (WW)

Intermittent fasting can be one of the most powerful ways to heal your body and achieve your ideal body weight, but it must be done correctly... And by that I mean that you should not fast longer than your body can tolerate. Just because a little is good, does not mean "more will be better..."

228: Have You Been Punished by Rewards? (WW)

After hearing a story the other day about how a child at daycare was being given Skittles (candy) as a reward for good behavior, I knew I needed to share this with you... When food is provided as a reward for doing "good work" or behaving in a certain way that the parent/teacher is looking for, it begins hardwire the brain in a way that looks at food now as something beyond just fuel for the body... Food has now become linked with being "good," and "feeling good." This can set children (and adults) up with lifelong emotional and mental struggles with using food as a means to comfort themselves... This reward system concept can actually be applied to anything and does not have to just consist of food as the reward... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 228 as I explain the research behind this psychology, which comes from an amazing book called "Punished by Rewards." I'll also show you how to break the cycle and live a healthier life, both physically and emotionally! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/228 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

227: Reducing Inflammation is NOT the Answer (TWT)

I know you've been told over and over that to lose weight, get well, end the joint pain, improve your mood, and sleep better that you must reduce inflammation... I don't deny that decreasing inflammation will help every area of your body and health, but I do want to let you know reducing inflammation is not the answer in the long-run... You see, inflammation is still just a symptom. That means it is being caused by something else. Which means, there is an underlying root cause to why that inflammation is present in your body...

221: How to Get Rid of Cellulite (WW)

Getting rid of cellulite takes a multi-pronged approach. You must both address the elimination of excess body fat, and then the reshaping of the "septae" holding the fat cells in place... This isn't as hard as it seems and it's something we help women with every week in our Boston practice. The first step is an elimination diet along with healthy detoxification protocols to begin eliminating excess toxic water weight and fat stores... Next, we "unclog" the lymphatic system and begin to remove these built up toxins and oxidized fat. We also add in some dry brushing and rebounding for fun (and it works great!)

213: Is Toxic Water Weight Making You Sick, Swollen & Overweight? (TWT)

One of the most overlooked causes of weight gain and wellness issues is toxic water weight... Toxic water weight is what I refer to as the end product of what your body does to compensate for toxins in the blood that the liver can't keep up with detoxifying... With over 77,000 man-made chemicals in the environment your body can get overwhelmed and as a result toxins are forced into your adipose tissue (fat cells) which cause those cells to swell... Although this keeps your blood cleaner by pushing the toxins into your fat, it does cause a swelling of your cells, which makes you look and feel bloated, puffy, and swollen... It's also why when I have people in my private practice go through my Dr. Cabral Detox system they say they feel like someone "deflated them..." Remember, it's not always about eating less and exercising more. Your body is far more intricate than that and often times there's a few more layers of the onion to peel back before you find your answer... But the good news is there is always an answer! - - - Show Notes: http://StephenCabral.com/213 - - - Get Your Question Answered: http://StephenCabral.com/askcabral

163: Nothing Is More Powerful than This... (MM)

It's taken me 163 episodes of the #CabralConcept to share this with you, but eventually it had to come out... Although we talk a lot about how to heal the body through nutrition, herbs, detox, cleansing, vitamins, minerals and neurotransmitters there is one other component to healing that many doctors overlook... It's important that both health practitioners and their patients understand that our job is not just to heal the body, but to get the mind to follow as well. Tune in to today's revealing podcast where I explain how sometimes healing the body is not enough...

158: How Is It Possible to Gain 5 lbs in a Day?! (WW)

Over the past 20 years I've worked with thousands of frustrated body transformation clients wondering why their bodies are prone to gaining weight so easily... The answer lies not in their body's ability to add fat, but rather inflammation and water weight - or swelling. So, now that we know the fast weight gain comes from being inflamed we can then look at the scenario differently... Our questions now become what are you eating or not eating that's causing the rapid weight gain, and what other systems in the body may be imbalanced allowing for this type of unchecked inflammation... Tune in to today's #CabralConcept as I explain how to look deeper into your weight loss goals rather than always believing you just need to "eat less and exercise more!"

Sitting down during the day, whether it be commuting to work, working at a desk, or just taking a break is unavoidable...

139: Nobel Prize Winning Discovery, Doctor Yourself Book & Food Matters Documentary (FR)

Today's #FridayReview is dedicated to the science & art of Orthomolecular Medicine, which is just fancy talk for using vitamins and nutritional supplements to heal your body! I started studying this type of medicine about 10 years ago and it was at that time that I realized in some difficult to treat health & weight loss cases food alone was not going to be the answer... The reason for this is that when the digestive system becomes too weak and the gut has become too imbalanced and inflamed people cannot adequately absorb the proper nutrition from the foods they eat - even if they're organic and whole foods.  At this point the best way to heal is to give the body building blocks that it needs to begin to repair itself. As a doctor it is not my job to tell the body how to rebalance itself, however it is my job to give it everything it needs to return to proper function, as well as remove the toxicities from it that hinders it from efficiently become well again...

Most people could greatly benefit from an intestinal cleanse, as long as they are doing it safely and effectively - And, as long as it is a short term protocol. (It's important that your bowels do not begin to rely on a laxative instead of your own natural intestinal movement.)

I wanted them to understand there are no "good" or "bad" wholefoods - only foods your body can easily digest, breakdown, and utilize... It's important to understand that when your digestive system is weak and you have reflux, bloating, gas, cramping, or stomach pain that many of the foods we deem healthy are actually going to cause you more harm than good... Check out today's Cabral Concept where I reveal the "Fork Test" solution that I give to my digestive based wellness clients!   - - - Show Notes: See all the Show Notes, Links & Recommendations at: http://stephencabral.com/129   - - - Get Your Questioned Answered!

128: How to Hit the Reset Button & Start Fresh (MM)

Let's face it, sometimes you just have a bad day or week (or month!) and just need a way to hit the reset button... It's happened to everyone, but starting over is often easier said than done. The tough part is that our bad habits have begun to set in and now it's harder to break those patterns and adopt new ones - This is why I believe small incremental changes don't always work for a lot of people. What you may need is to use the "pull the bandaid off fast" approach. This will allow you to create a "pattern interrupt..." Listen in today on the #CabralConcept podcast on iTunes (or link in my bio - just click my name above) and hear how I teach my private clients how to hit the reset button & start fresh for best results!   - - - Show Notes: See all the Show Notes, Links & Recommendations at: http://stephencabral.com/cabral-concept-128   - - - Get Your Questioned Answered!

124: How Long Should Your Workouts Be? (TT)

Right now there's a lot of debate between those that believe workouts should be ultra-short 4-minute bursts and those that feel only longer 60-minute+ exercise programs will get results... As with everything, bio-individuality should decide who needs shorter workouts and who would benefit from longer routines - This helps eliminate a one-size-fits-all approach and allows for more individuality & customization... Plus, your personal goals, the amount of days you exercise per week, and what type of shape you're currently in should be taken into account when choosing workout types and length... For more details on how to decide what works best for your body, check out today's #CabralConcept podcast for details! - - -   Show Notes: See all the Show Notes, Links & Recommendations at: http://stephencabral.com/cabral-concept-124   - - - Get Your Questioned Answered!

122: The 3 Reasons Why You Can't Sleep (TWT)

Over a billion people suffer from poor sleeping patterns - I used to be one of those people. Sometimes it would take me hours to fall asleep and some night's I wouldn't sleep at all. Then there were the nights where I'd fall asleep, only to wake up multiple times throughout the night... None of this is normal and it took me years of study to find the underlying root causes for sleep issues. And although there are dozens of symptoms and specific issues surrounding sleep, there only 3 main reasons why you can't sleep. Today, I break down those 3 reasons why you can't sleep so that you can get your life back on track and enjoy the deep, peaceful, and restorative sleep you were meant to have! - - -   Show Notes: See all the Show Notes, Links & Recommendations at: http://stephencabral.com/cabral-concept-122   - - - Get Your Questioned Answered!

121: Aim for Progress - Not Perfection... (MM)

It took me a decade to grasp this "philosophy," and it's not something you ever truly master... Too often we find ourselves in a state of perfectionism, where we want everything to be perfect before we even get started - Or worse, sometimes we're extremely hard on ourselves when we mess up on the path to achieving our goals... After having worked with thousands of clients, my mission is to help them to see that the aim is never to be perfect, but rather to make progress on a weekly basis. You don't need to be perfect in order to achieve everything you want in life! Once you give yourself some room to breathe and accept that you'll never be perfect, you are then free to try new things and understand you will have your ups & downs, and failures & successes... But in the end you'll be happier because you'll never have the regrets of never trying at all... It's time to start dreaming big and then making small steps each week towards those goals! - - - Show Notes: See all the Show Notes, Links & Recommendations at: http://stephencabral.com/cabral-concept-121   - - - Get Your Questioned Answered!

116: Can Constipation Cause Weight Gain? (WW)

It's easy to look at and preach "eating less and exercising more," but often times there are deeper rooted causes for why someone can't lose the weight... At my Boston practice we look at the underlying imbalances with each client and have found that constipation can lead to inflammation, hormone imbalances, toxicity, and blood sugar dysregulation - which can then cause weight issues. My goal for you is to understand that our current weight loss model is broken and that all of us must assess how we're not only looking at how we lose weight, but also the ways that we go about it... Opt for permanent weight loss results, rather than fad diets or other harmful short-term programs that only lower your metabolism in the long-run. Check out today's #CabralConcept show for details on how to relieve constipation and start losing weight again!   - - - Show Notes: See all the Show Notes, Links & Recommendations at: http://stephencabral.com/cabral-concept-116   - - - * (MAY) Listener Only Thank You Offer! * Thank you again for your support of the Cabral Concept – I couldn’t do it without you!

108: The High Blood Pressure Hoax (TWT)

Don't fall for the "High Blood Pressure Hoax!" High Blood Pressure (HBP) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide often leading to heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, kidney disease and many other "dis-eases." But HBP is simply a symptom of a much larger imbalance within the body... Taking medication for HBP does nothing to address the underlying root cause of what is actually wrong with you! Any one of these issues (below) could be out of balance in your body and they need to be addressed - Once resolved HBP disappears as a consequence of total body health: Increased SNS stress response Elevated cortisol High time cortisol Low melatonin production Diet too high in processed foods Imbalanced calcium/magnesium Low potassium Insufficient stomach acid Weak digestion Poor protein breakdown Gut permeability issues Heavy metals accumulation The bottom line is that if you or someone you know is suffering from high blood pressure - there is an answer and you do not need a lifetime of being medicated (ALL medications come with side effects). Seek the #Truth and begin to take control of your health & life - There is #NoAlternative! For additional details on how to address the underlying root causes of your HBP check out today's podcast on the #CabralConcept (Link in bio) and please feel free to share this with anyone you believe it could help...
