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

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

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

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!
This is where 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 joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the 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! Thank you for all you do, you are a gift to us all!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!
This is where 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. Thank you for sharing all of your wisdom & experience!
