Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!

 

I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…

 

Maria: Hello. I have terrible joint pain in my hands. Some days are worse than others. I am a 50 year old female and was wondering if you can suggest a supplement and maybe foods to stay away from. 
 
 
Bea: Hi Doc, Thanks so much for everything that you do. I have been wondering about dosage on the back of supplement labels. I am a 5'3 115 pound woman. Do I take the recommended amount on the back or less? For example, I take proteolytic enzymes. Should I take 2 as instructed on the back or just 1? thank you!! 
 
 
Skip: Hello Dr C, thanks for all you do! I keep hearing this tick season is going to be really bad. I know you generally say to strengthen the immune system with Lyme. I’m wondering what specifics you have for preventing/ repelling ticks (with humans and dogs) and for someone who has Lyme- how can they get to the root cause in addition to supporting the immune system? 
 
 
Karla: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to first thank you for sharing all of your thoughts and research with us. It has truly been invaluable to me and my family. I wanted to ask about a recent supplement I heard about on my local radio. It’s called Astaxanthin. They claimed it would help with skin, vision, energy and many other things. I searched your previous podcasts and didn’t see anything about it, so I was hoping you could comment on whether it’s worth adding to my current supplement regimen. Thanks in advance! 
 
 
Louise: Hi Dr. Cabral. I have been attempting to do the CBO Protocol for about 3 weeks now, but have had to pause multiple times because I experienced pretty intense die off symptoms. The most troubling one is restless leg syndrome. I believe it is related to the inflammation caused by the die off. It is so severe that I can only do half the dose a day, and I still get pretty bad RLS. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make it through the protocol with this problem? Would asking for temporary RLS medication be a bad idea? Is there anything natural I can take? I have tried megaigg2000 to bind the LPS, and now high dose curcumin to help the inflammation levels but I don't know what else I can do. Thank you for your time and 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!

Have you been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and are now wondering if, or how, you can safely come off it?
 
 
On today’s show, I break down what happens when TRT is reduced or discontinued and why this process needs to be approached carefully rather than abruptly.
 
 
In most cases, long-term testosterone use signals the body to stop its own natural production, which means there is a period of adjustment when coming off therapy (better to precisely wean down).
 
 
You’ll learn what types of changes people commonly experience during this transition, why timing and individual factors play such an important role, and what systems in the body are involved in restoring natural hormone production.
 
 
Most importantly, I share a general framework for how to think about this process in a way that supports balance, recovery, and long-term health.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3744 to learn how to safely come off testosterone (TRT) and support natural hormone production.
 
 
Enjoy the show!

Why does dieting seem to work at first… and then suddenly stop?
 
 
On today’s show, I break down the real reason weight loss plateaus happen and why it’s not because your body is broken or you’ve failed.
 
 
You’ll learn how prolonged dieting can affect hunger hormones, stress hormones, thyroid function, energy levels, and cravings, making fat loss harder over time if you keep using the same strategy.
 
 
Most importantly, I share what to do instead to restart progress and support long-term results.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3743 to discover why dieting stops working and what to do instead.
 
 
Enjoy the show!

One of the most widely used chemicals in the world may be entering your body every day through the foods you eat.
 
 
In today’s show, I break down the latest research on glyphosate, a herbicide commonly used on conventional crops and frequently found in everyday foods.
 
 
I explain where exposure most often comes from, why it may be more harmful than many people realize, and how it can impact the microbiome, inflammation, and detoxification pathways.
 
 
You’ll also learn how glyphosate may accumulate over time, the warning signs of a higher toxic burden, and why reducing exposure can make a meaningful difference for your overall health and wellness.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3742 as I go over the dangers of glyphosate and share practical steps you can take to test your levels, support natural detoxification, and reduce daily exposure through smarter food and lifestyle choices.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!

 

I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…

 

Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - hoping you can help :) I have a brown spot below my left eye, on my cheek bone so not directly below. From what I have red it is a sun spot / "liver" spot... I tried to have it removed with laser - even deep penetration into my skin with acid it came back - interesting to me if the skin was lasered away! Do you have any suggestions on how to remove it / lighten it? I thought when I read "liver" spot it's linked to detoxification but I really do a lot in this space: quarterly detox, sauna, hydration etc... if it's pigmentation do I just live with it or are there ways to remove it for good - lighten / procedurally? Thanks :) 
 
 
Elly: Hi doctor Cabral, Could you help me understand the disconnect regarding HRT? To me, it feels like basic maintenance: you are supplementing bio-identical hormones the body is no longer producing, so that it can function optimally. It seems similar to taking Vitamin D for a deficiency. Is my way of thinking correct, or are there specific biological factors that make supplemental hormones riskier than natural ones? Why is there still such a strong association between HRT and cancer risk? Thanks so much for helping clear this up! Elly 
 
 
Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for providing so much valuable information on everything health related. I don’t know where me and my family would be without you! I have looked up some pub med studies on taking cbut want your expertise. First off should creatine be taken before or after a workout to get the most benefits? Also does taking creatine with caffeine blunt the benefit of creatine. Thanks! 
 
 
Kavita: Hello from Chicago, Dr. Cabral, I just wanted to reach out and say how much I appreciate your work. Since you invited people to contribute to your book, "The Rainbarrel Effect," I've been your biggest supporter. Your book completely changed my perspective on health and helped me understand my body in ways I never thought possible. I have a question about the GLP Tone system. I’m 55 years young with a healthy metabolism, and I’m active with regular workouts, walking, and strength training. However, my weight has stayed at 185 pounds, and I’m looking for ways to make progress. If I decide to try the GLP Tone system, which option do you think would be best for me? Also, will there be support from your team? Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! Regards, Kavita 
 
 
Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral, I’ve tried the quarterly detox multiple times. I get to about mid-afternoon on the first day and then fail. I’m sure with all the clients you’ve helped over the years you have had some that are just not able to get through the first two days of shakes only I feel like that sets me up for failure. If I was one of your clients, what would you recommend for me? Is it possible I’m just not metabolically ready to start with fasting days and hopefully as I heal overtime, I will become better at this? Thanks for any guidance.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!

 

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

 

Check out today's questions: 

 

Emma: Hi Dr Cabral! I have a question regarding the sclera of the eye. I have never had really nice white sclera, even though I do seasonal FM detoxes (8 years now), coffee enemas, gallbladder flushes etc (I am an IHP2) I have also run my genetics, and I have 'optimal' detox genes. I was wondering how much of this is genetic as my parents are the same. They are definitely not yellow, but they're just not bright white. I consider myself healthy. I have had mold toxicity, heavy metals, candida/bacterial overgrowth in the past, but I think I have cleared most of it all out although I would like to retest soon. I have friends who have the whitest scleras even though they've never done any detoxing in their life :) Would love your thoughts and thank you for being such an incredible teacher!  
 
 
Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral! I’m almost done with my IHP2 & I’m constantly researching things. Lately I’ve been reading a lot about B1 and its benefits for people who suffer from ibs, diabetes, thyroid issues etc. Now I know the question is..why are we all so low in b1 to begin with? But I’d like to get your thoughts on this recent rise in b1 popularity. Is it something to consider or just another trending supplement and are there benefits to taking benfotiamine vs thiamine? Thanks so much! Hope you’re doing well. 
 
 
Darrel: Hey, Dr Cabral. I saw a report stating the leading cause of throat cancer in the USA is now HPV mainly from performing oral sex. Not tobacco. Not alcohol. Aside abstention, is there any means to prevent that from happening? I'm seeing most practitioners recommending HPV vaccine. Will that be necessary? 
 
 
Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 41 year old female. I listen to your podcast daily and just ordered my 7 day detox, I cannot wait to start it. My question is.. what do you think I should do for my symptoms? I have a ferritin level of 5 and I am already taking iron(bovine)For the last few months I have had unexplained hives. I get them out of nowhere sometimes when I hold something on my arm or something is tight on my body. I have also had a swollen lymph node for about 5 months and have been to several doctors. No answers. I had a positive ANA test, however all the other tests for autoimmune came back negative. The ENT is not concerned about the lymph node said it is not that enlarged. But I feel it and it bothers me. I take your Berberine, B complex and Infla-sooth. Along with iron and Glutathione
 
 
Grace: How do I know if I’m over-supplementing? I take a whole list of supplements with each meal. It seems like 40% of my water intake throughout the day is just to take supplements. Especially with breakfast (as I take the supplements one at a time). At breakfast, I take iron (dried beef liver), fish oil, vitamin B complex, methyl folate, myoinositol (for insulin resistance due to PCOS), a probiotic, fiber and vitamin D. Dinner has the myoinositol, fiber, and iron. Lunch has the fiber and iron plus a multivitamin, vitamin C, n-acetyl cysteine, and a turmeric supplement. It seems like a lot. Am I over-supplementing?

Thinking about testosterone replacement therapy, or wondering if TRT is the right move for you?
 
 
Many people hear about the benefits of testosterone for energy, muscle, mood, and libido, but often the bigger question is whether low testosterone is the real problem or simply a sign of something deeper going on in the body.
 
 
On today’s show I’ll break down the true pros and cons of testosterone replacement therapy for both men and women, including when it may be helpful, when it may be premature, and why age and overall health matter so much in the decision.
 
 
You’ll also learn why addressing root-cause issues should always be part of the conversation before starting hormone therapy.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3737 to discover the pros and cons of testosterone replacement therapy and how to know if it’s the right choice for your health goals.

If you’ve recently had imaging with contrast dye, you may be asking how to best support your body afterward.
 
 
Many people are told the dye will clear on its own, but often the real question is how to best support your natural detox pathways once the procedure is complete.
 
 
On today’s show I’ll explain the difference between common contrast agents used in MRIs and CT scans, and how your kidneys, liver, lymphatic system, and bowels work together to process and eliminate them.
 
 
You’ll also learn practical strategies that can help your body recover more efficiently after imaging.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3735 to discover how to detox dyes from MRIs and CT scans naturally while supporting your body’s built-in healing systems.

Feeling overwhelmed by everything on your schedule?
 
 
Many people assume the solution is to work harder or get more done, but often the real answer is removing what no longer serves you.
 
 
On today’s show I’ll explain why a “not-to-do list” may be even more powerful than a traditional to-do list, and how too many tasks, distractions, and obligations can keep you busy without actually moving you forward.
 
 
You’ll also learn why setting boundaries, protecting your time, and simplifying your schedule can create more energy, clarity, and momentum in every area of life.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3734 to discover what is more important than your to-do list and how reclaiming even one extra hour a day can transform your health, relationships, and long-term success.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the 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: God bless you for all you do. I had a routine mammogram in early 2025, followed by a bilateral breast ultrasound, they recommended 6 month monitoring due to multiple small cysts/masses (I have very dense breasts). I was advised to continue to monitor with ultrasounds every 6 months. At my March 2026 follow-up, they recommended a biopsy because one mass at the 9 o’clock position increased from 1 cm to 1.5 cm. For context, I had a benign biopsy in 2024 in the same breast (10 o’clock) and regret doing it out of fear. I feel that poking and probing can be more harmful. I’m worried about unnecessary procedures but don’t want to ignore anything serious. Would short-term monitoring (repeat ultrasound in 3 months) be reasonable? The tech seemed inexperienced, could measurement error be possible? 
 
 
Eve: Hi it’s me again, I wrote in yesterday and after I spoke to my PCP about my hesitation on getting a breast biopsy, she was supportive and said why don’t we do an MRI instead to be certain instead of poking and probing before knowing what it really is. The only thing is that it would have to be with contrast. What do you think? Less invasive, more real answers, but the contrast makes me anxious. Can I do a detox if I opt for the MRI vs the breast biopsy? Ty Doc. 
 
 
Anonymous: Hi! Can you help provide advice on how to help with orange hands/elbows/feet? I’ve tested extremely high for beta carotene. I’m not sure why as I wasn’t eating bushels of carrots, just trying to get a diversity of plants in each week but guess I steer towards vegetables with higher concentrations (squash, dark leafy greens, broccoli etc). I’ve practically eliminated all sources of it, but still seems not to improve much. Any advice would be helpful as it is embarrassing. Thanks! 
 
 
Anonymous: Hi! What are your thoughts on using clean sources of nicotine treat things like long COVID, chronic fatigue, brain fog etc.. Thanks! 
 
 
Nikita: Hi Dr Cabral, After 4 years of heavy hairloss, I finally corrected my iron-deficiency anemia (through prescription iron pills- only thing that worked). 6 months later my hairloss has finally slowed down a lot. However, I’m not noticing any type of regrowth. I’d love to get some of my density back after those 4 years of bad hairloss. I wanted to know your opinion on starting minoxidil for a temporary period of time just to wake up the hair follicles? I never took it before bc I don’t want to commit to it forever, but do you think it could work for this case and then maybe I can stop it and the hair won’t fall out again because now

Apr 25, 2026

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!

 

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

 

Check out today's questions: 

 

Brenda: My adult son is very interested in purchasing the GLP-1 Tone. Unfortunately he cannot swallow pills very well especially capsules. Can these capsules be opened up and put in water and still be effective? 
 
 
Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral! I am currently on a certain medication (plaquenil) for my autoimmune that I would like to eventually come off of. I really want to do the limited cbo protocol which I tested for with a health coach about a year ago but wasn’t able to do the protocol right yet. Since I am on this medication right now, I am unable to do the citracidal drops due to the grapefruit. How else would you recommend me doing the limited cbo? Are there other alternatives to GSE that I can do to try and heal my gut and get one more step closer to putting my autoimmune in remission and getting off this medication? Thank you for all your help, long time listener 
 
 
Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - I love starting my day, 7 days a week with you! Please work forever :). You are so helpful. This is regarding Podcast 3693 when you spoke about the 2 nutrients needed for cancer defense (p53). My question is about melatonin. I sleep fairly well for a 56-year-old post-menopausal woman. How much melatonin should I start with and can you mention the risks? I know not all supplements are good for everyone. I have heard wonderful things about melatonin and cancer. On the downside I read if you take melatonin your body will stop producing it faster on its own. Is that true? Should I wait until I'm 70 to start? I'm going to start adrenal soothe too. I feel at my age without the balance of estrogen & progesterone we need more adrenal support. Any advice is appreciated. 
 
 
Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. I'm seeing an increase of naturopaths saying a teaspoon of unmodified potato starch nightly leads to increase butyrate which then improves intestinal barrier integrity, lowers inflammatory signaling, enhances insulin responsiveness, and influences metabolic and immune pathways throughout the body. They say the resistant starch consumption improves glucose metabolism, reduces inflammatory markers, supports beneficial microbiome diversity, and contributes to better metabolic health. Taking it nightly further supports these effects by aligning gut bacterial activity with the body's natural overnight repair processes, including lower insulin levels, increased growth hormone release, and reduced cortisol activity. Do you agree or is it hogwash? 
 
 
Darren: Hey, Dr. Cabral. Me again. I've seeing several renowned biohackers and trainers say it's a falsehood that once you start TRT, you've to continue using it for life. They say if you happen to be the 1% of men over 35 who TRT is not for (for exceedingly rare reasons), you can simply desist, and within a few (2) months, your body will have returned to its natural testosterone production levels pre-treatment. Some basic precautions while you are experimenting with TRT will help you recover quicker should you choose to stop your treatment, but even then, those who do the sloppiest TRT recover quite quickly even if they don't use a traditional PCT (Post-Cycle Therapy). Is this based on new info or is it also hogwash?

Should you be taking B vitamins, and if so, what dosage is right for you?
 
 
On today's show I want to go over one of the most common supplement questions: do you really need a B-complex, and should you be taking individual B vitamins or a fully activated formula?
 
 
B vitamins play a critical role in energy production, brain health, stress response, detoxification, and methylation, but the way you supplement with them matters.
 
 
While deficiencies can lead to fatigue, brain fog, and low mood, more is not always better. In fact, the key is understanding how these nutrients work together as a family and how your individual needs may vary.
 
 
On this episode, I explain how different B vitamins function in the body, who may benefit from supplementation, and why factors like stress, diet, and gut health can significantly impact your requirements.
 
 
Tune into Cabral Concept 3730 to understand if you should be supplementing with B-vitamins and learn how to properly approach supplementation for better energy, balance, and long-term health.

You’ll also learn why hydration and electrolyte balance play a key role in how refreshed you feel in the morning.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3729 to learn about the hidden reason you wake up puffy, inflamed & tired and what may be holding your body back from fully resetting overnight.

People often assume they’re hydrated just because they’re drinking water all day... but that’s not always the case.
 
 
If you’re feeling tired, foggy, or just off, dehydration could be the reason.
 
 
On today’s show, I break down what dehydration really looks like at the cellular level. 
 
 
The truth is, simply drinking more water isn’t enough. Without the right balance of electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, your body may not properly absorb the fluids you’re taking in.
 
 
I’ll also cover the 5 key signs your body is dehydrated and share simple, practical strategies to improve hydration, from optimizing your morning routine to adding electrolytes and avoiding common mistakes that can actually make things worse.
 
 
So tune into Cabral Concept 3728 to discover the 5 signs your body is dehydrated and how better hydration can quickly improve your energy, focus, and overall well-being.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!

 

I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…

 

Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm at 46 yo female in the thick of perimenopause, and suffering from all its symptoms and I also have gut issues too. I'm going to run the Big Five and would also like to run the Menopause and Fertility test as well. My question is, will running the Menopause test be beneficial even though the Big 5 includes the Stress Mood test? I would like as much data as possible because knowledge is power, but also don't want to purchase unnecessary tests. Looking forward for your response! 
 
 
Anonymous: Have you ever heard of Cantron/Cancel/Protocel? It claims to help with C using bioelectrical wellness. "Stimulate cellular regeneration so body can regenerate/repair more efficiently, by restoring the electrical environment which determines whether cells thrive/die." It has K, NA, Fe, Ca, Cu, sulfur and a blend of phenolic compounds from flavonoid family subgroup catechins, quinones, hydroxyquinones and cyclophentenes. My family knows people that have had success with it. My aunt has triple negative breast cancer despite taking it. She is adiment that she wants to stay on it while working on lifestyle changes. Taking it limits other supplements she can take so I feel stuck in how to help her. Any insight you have would be great!
 
 
Alex: Will it boost my metabolism and enable me to enjoy all foods while keeping my weight stable if I do every other day. So one day carbs only next protein only next carbs only next protein only and so on? Thankyou Alex 
 
 
Anonymous: Is it possible that an inguinal hernia could repair itself without the need for surgery? (Asking for an adult female in case this matters.) What corrective exercises would be recommended, and which exercises should be avoided? How long might this kind of hernia take to repair if it is possible? Thank you! 
 
 
Patricia: I can’t handle any methylated vitamins or quercetin - I react strongly, fatigue, body tingling and aches, migraines. I know the cause - mold, and I’m working on it. However my coach (not an ihp) keeps trying to push methyl’s as she says this means I’m methylating poorly. I think this means I can’t clear methyl’s, not that I don’t methylate enough. What do you think? I do have a mthfr variant, not on the primary snp but the other one, and I am a fast COMT. I am trying to figure out how to dial in my b vitamins and how to make sure I don’t overdo it. I take all non methyl forms now. This is also keeping me from doing your detox sadly, as the daily nutritional support has methyl’s. Any insight or pointers would be 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: 

 

Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, I would like your opinion on an EFSA warning about three supplements: Ashwagandha Intenso, Brain Life, and Curcumin C3 Complex. EFSA reports that ashwagandha may affect the immune system and thyroid function, while curcumin may impact the liver, the GI system, and, during pregnancy, contribute to lower birth weight. EFSA sets the maximum daily intake of curcumin at 210 mg for a 70‑kg adult. Brain Life contains 600 mg, and Curcumin C3 Complex contains 1000 mg, which both exceed this limit. I would appreciate your assessment of the safety of these dosages. 
 
 
Justin: Hello Dr. Stephen Cabral. I just want to start off and say I think you are the most genuine and honest person people can follow right now and I love what you do. I'm about to start the 21 day detox and then plan on moving to the CBO protocol. I'm an ectomorph body type and I work out 3-4 days a week. I know in previous podcasts you have said that my body type needs lots of carbs and protein before and after a heavy lifting workout. I want to continue to try and get some workouts in during this time to keep up my strength and was wondering what you recommend since the meals are separated by 3.5 hours. I know not to workout during the shake fast days and I'm only doing those on the first 2 days since I'm not trying to loose weight. Thanks! 
 
 
Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - At different times of our lives, we all go through very stressful life events. As I've gotten older, I really don't handle stress as well. I'm 56 years old. My father is 95-years old, doing great but I see I'm doing more and more and eventually I will be doing more care giving and running between two houses. I'm preparing my cabinet with your best supplements which all have been amazing and work just like you say they do! So, thank you! I do take the Sleep Support supplement once in a while as needed. During stressful events, would you recommend your Adrenal Soothe at dinner along with full spectrum magnesium then the sleep support at bed? I know how important our sleep is and I just can't turn off my mind when life gets to be too much sometimes. Thank you! 
 
 
Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - thanks for ALL you do! I ran an omega 3 test, apparently I came back in the top 1% lol AA/EPA ratio: 4.3:1 Omega 6:3 ratio is 4.5:1 (it says the ideal is 3.1 - 3.9) Trans Fat index: 0.18% Omega 3 index: 8.33% I did run my cholesterol markers recently: Total Cholesterol 4.8 optimal HDL 1.4 (low-opt) LDL 3.3 (mild elev) Trig: 0.62 (excellent) Ratio: 3.4 (good) Also, TSH 1.1, FT4: 16 BUT FT3 2.3.... HELP! LOW Ferritin (21) I know you explain we dont look at one marker in isolation, but if it were you what would you be looking at (min effort, max dose) I do psyllium husk daily (about 10g) and Omega-3 Support as well as the foundations (DESTRESS) Any concerns with cholesterol? 43, Active, healthy, Female :) (Cant run EL labs) x
 
 
Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral! I was diagnosed with sjogrens and lupus this year and my dr started me on plaquenil. I am 33 years old and I do not want to be on this medication forever but with being child bearing age and looking to start a family in the next year, they require me to be on it during pregnancy. I have been following your podcast for years and use all of equilife’s supplements, follow the quarterly detox, etc. I do the daily foundational protocol and the immunity supplements I use are histpro and mushroom supplement. My understanding of autoimmunity is the immune system is overactive. Are these supplements activating my immune system too much? What are your suggestions I do to help be able to put my autoimmune into remission? I deal with mostly fatigue, joint/muscle pain. Thank you.
