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

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!
This is where 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. Many thanks in advance

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

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!
This is where 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 joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the 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

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!
This is where 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!

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

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!
This is where 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!
