Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!
I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…
Let’s get started!
IS: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m a daily listener of your podcast and often search some information for any health topic. I tried to find an episode about Lichen Planus skin disease but didn’t find anything. My grandmama has this autoimmune disease and I would love to know more about the reasons and mechanisms of the disease. Where should I start when thinking any advices for my grandma? She has suffered from skin and gut issues for her whole life and now she is 88 years old. Thank you for advance!
Tracy: Hello!Thank you for all you do to help others on a daily basis. I gain so much knowledge through you. You give so much hope to me on my health journey. Could you please tell me what I can do to improve low immunoglobulins A (my level is 40) & E (level <2) ?Also, I have antiparietal cell antibodies, struggle with a ton of nutritional deficiencies in spite of eating very healthy, complement c4a is very high at 1839. I had Lyme disease 2 years ago which after 3 rounds of antibiotics I still was not symptom free and have been struggling intermittently since. I am trying to piece the puzzle together. Frustrated because I feel like with my very healthy lifestyle, I should be feeling so much better than I do. Thank you so much!
Paula: Hi Dr Cabral. How can someone do the CBO protocol, the CBO finisher and still be sensitive to numerous herbs? I thought this was going to be resolved once I rebalanced my microbiome but I continue to react to things like Saffron, licorice, cumin and a bunch of other teas and spices! Do you think it takes more than 6 months to fully heal the gut and have a healthy microbiome? Maybe if I continue taking the daily probiotic for a few more months it will improve? What are your thoughts?
Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral, I’m a big fan. Thanks for what you do. I am looking for some advice for my husband. He suffers with issues down the right side of his body. He has tendinitis in his right leg, he has a blind spot in his right eye, a hernia on his lower abdomen and a lump on the right side of his lower back. Is this a liver issue? Would cutting out inflammatory foods such as gluten, dairy, sugar, soy, eggs help? He also gets heart cramping from time to time. He has seen numerous doctors and is always told to go back if things get worse as he is managing but he is in pain everyday and is quite miserable. Do you have any other suggestions? Many thanks.
Julia: Hi I have suffered from IBS (mainly IBS-C) for over 10 years. I have been through a number of diets-GF, DF, FODMAP etc. but will admit its been difficult to stick with it and also then everything I ate just ended up not making me feel good even "healthy" foods.I have done the 7 day cabral detox and have felt amazing afterward so would like to continue and learn more. I also think hormonal testing I would greatly benefit from.
Andrea: After doing the big 5, I had some minor yeast overgrowth, mineral imbalances, very little mercury and some hormonal issues. Nothing too "out of whack" I would say a part from hormones. I am 23, and currently a level 1 IHP student thus follow all of your nutrition, supplementation and exercise recommendations. I haven't ovulated for almost a year now (no signs of my period) after stopping the pill. My estrogen was extremely low (0.5) and so was progesterone (21). The rest was in control including cortisol, DHEA, testosterone, etc. I couldn't test during a specific day in my cycle because I don't get my periods so that was a bit annoying of course. Given that I've followed all your health coach's recommendations (Laura) such as CBO Protocol, CBO finisher, Adrenal soothe at night, DNS, etc would you think that at this point it looks like I have to go the conventional path? I know that you don't give medical advice but I'd love to know your point of view. Do you think I should try hormonal therapy temporarily to force my period? Or should I wait a few more months? Even though I'm still far away of becoming a mother, I do worry about fertility. Not only that but I also get very worried as I know that the period is a sign of health... Thank you so much in advance!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!
This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!
Check out today's questions:
Darra: Hey good day Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you and your family. I read the rain barrel effect and listen to this podcast regularly and live a healthy life. However, I have hyperpigmentation at nasolabial (laugh lines), chin and between eyebrows. Dunno if it's due to sun exposure or what (I live in Caribbean) or something. Anyway, tried various recommendations from supplements to massages and an esthician and skincare expert recommended ambi cream (2% hydroquinone) on the affected areas to remove them. I am usually vs these products but I hate how they look. Do the benefits outweigh the potential risks (if any) using these products? Oh, also what are your thoughts on the (UN)WELL series on Netflix, provided you've seen it. Thank you. Have a blessed on
Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you. Is it normal to have diarrhea or water stool on third day of 3 day fast/detox? I used the AM/FM detox but not the Daily Nutrional Support. Consumed no protein but took vitamin b, c, d, alpha lipoic acid, NAC, zinc, dandelion root, black walnut, spirulina, pau d' arco, ginger tea, nettle from the supplements I already have. Some from you, others from other naturopath suppliers. Just want to know if this is normal, body removing waste or a cause for concern. Thank you and keep up good work
Dawn: Hi,My 25 year old daughter was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome 3 years again. Do you have any experience with this Symdrome?Thank you,Dawn
Melissa: Hello again Doctor Cabral! If you recall, I wrote in recently about my toddler, Bob. GI and eczema issues since birth - lots of testing (functional and conventional) but still no real answers. It was SO exciting to hear you talk of him! It restored my hope! Thank you again for your ongoing investment - you are truly an angel walking among us.We are saving up for the labs you recommended, and should have enough by the semi-annual sale in October! It can’t come soon enough.In the meantime, I know the WHY/HOW doesn’t necessarily matter..but it’s a topic that has always weighed on my mind a lot. I truly believe that stress is what took my Bob’s health from him. While I was pregnant I was under tremendous, unchecked, rampant stress. You always hear that pregnant ladies need to take it easy and not get worked up..I didn’t think it mattered. I did nothing to ease my stress. Just pushed through - constantly stressed and angry. It’s what keeps coming back to me when I ponder his “why”. You talk of stress as a very real cause of health problems, and it’s reduction as essential to healing.How though..? How do you reduce the stress of a toddler? How do you discipline without stressing? Tiptoeing around trying not to upset him isn’t the answer either, right? Thank you!!
Mars: Hi Dr. Stephen Cabral,Your programs have been always informative and fun to listen to. Thank you for the knowledge you share. They are truly helpful.I have three questions here. They are:(1) Will autophagy induce platelet or red blood cell reduction?(2) Will nutrient deficiency or constant caloric deficit induce platelet or red blood cell reduction?(3) Is it fine to do IF (16:8) every day as long as the caloric intake is sufficient?I've been doing IF for around a year. By the end of last year, I happen to learn that my platelet count drops below normal range (at around 80000.) Fortunately, after a clinic visit, the doctor told me that the related blood index are all fine. And I don't have bleeding symptom. Since then, I changed my IF protocol to 16:8, which should be less intense I think. But in the recent health check, my platelet count remains the same. So I'm wondering if it is because I exclude rice (contains folate & iron) from my food plan and remain a 200-caloric deficit at the same time? Or it's simply not good to do IF every day because autophagy has such kind of negative effect?Thank you for reviewing my long questions above. Hopefully I may hear your response on your show.All the best,Mars

Last week I made a mistake...I forgot my lunch and decided I would venture out to a new spot to find something healthy to eat...
I managed to make some relatively "good" choices in terms of healthy foods, but what happened next goes to serve as a reminder of how even healthy foods can be taken too far...
Tune into today's #CabralConcept 1685 to find out how where health foods can go really wrong (my lunch mistake) - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

If you are to get well, lose weight, and live longer stronger, you must begin to take back control of your own health...
This doesn't mean that you have to become a doctor, but it does mean that you should know the ins and outs of fundamental at-home lab testing like the newly updated IgG Food Sensitivity Test...
The reason being that Functional Medicine at-home lab tests can be the difference between years of trial and error versus pinpointing the underlying root causes of your health imbalances...
That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1684 I'd like to share with you the podcast (and video tutorial) of how to read your own food sensitivity test - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

How do you stack up?
Believe it or not, true confidence is something we should all strive for...
In its purest form, it does not contain any self-righteousness, putting down of others, or judging others....
That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 1683 I’d like to share with you the confident vs. insecure personality quiz and where you may be able to improve - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!
I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…
Let’s get started!
Darrel: Hey Dr. Cabral. Pleasant day. I came across an Indian yogi and later found what he said supported by Feng Shui with regard to sleeping directions. They say if we live in Northern Hemisphere (it's opposite if you live in Southern hemisphere) and sleep facing North, the magnetic pull of the direction attracts iron, which gets accumulated in the brain. This is the reason why many people complain of getting a headache when they wake up. Sleeping with your head pointing North can also disrupt your blood circulation and lead to disturbed sleep. It can also increase disorders such as insomnia etc. Any truth to this in ayurveda or any of the teachings you've come across?
Steven: What are your thoughts on sea moss? I feel like its becoming mainstream now!
Farah: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm a level 1 IHP student and in the supplement protocol module, you showed us the little zip bags to carry supplements on the go. However, I assume these are made out of plastic right? Wouldn't that be an issue for women because of the potential hormonal issues that plastic can cause?
Judy: Hi Dr. Cabral,I hope this message finds you healthy and well. My question is in regards to blood sugar regulation. I have listened to your podcast regarding glucose monitors and optimal blood sugar levels. I have been tracking my glucose for quite some time and I am never optimal. I eat a whole foods diet with an once a week sweet treat made with natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Any healthy carb like whole fruits, Japanese yams, brown rice, etc. spike my blood sugar very high and never allows it to go below 80 unless I severely restrict these carbs. I am a lean athletic build and have worked with your team in the past for adrenal resistance, hormone and thyroid issues. What steps do you recommend to address this issue?
Paual: Hi Dr Cabral. I used braces for 2 years and after that they put fixed retainers on my bottom teeth to prevent further movement. I went to a holistic dentist in London to remove this after learning about heavy metal toxicity during IHP Level 1 but they told me that it wasn't made out of mercury and it was just stainless steel. They said that there are no issues with that and if I removed them there was a high risk of my teeth moving again. I'm not sure what to do now... do you think stainless steel is an issue? Thank you so much for your time!
Steven: Hey Dr Cabral! Love your podcast. Tuning in every single morning :) My question is: Why does the gut support powder contain zinc bisglycinate chelate and not picolinate? Is one better than the other or are both great for the intestinal mucosa? Thank you!
Simon: Hello and thank you Dr Cabral,I am giving a short presentation at a conference in November and don't want to be a stuttering, forgetful mess. Apart from general good health, deep breathing and presentation techniques, I am wondering what supplements you might recommend to increase mental clarity whilst maintaining calm. I'm concerned some nootropics may achieve mental performance at the expense of calm and calming supplements may dampen my mental sharpness. Any thoughts? Many of my contemporaries swear by beta-blockers in these situations; would these be ok for limited use?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!
This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!
Check out today's questions:
Lala: Hi Dr Cabral, I hope you are doing great. I cannot thank you enough for all of these Q&A's that you do. You truly are a superhero! I had my thyroid checked 6 months ago and my TSH and T3 were great but my free T4 was on the lower end. My doctor asked me to retest 3 months later to check if T4 would go up. I recently retested again and nothing has changed. My TSH and T3 are great but my free T4 continues to be low. I don't understand what is going on! I am on my early 20s, exercise regularly, eat a predominantly plant-based diet (mostly organic) take zinc picolinate, full spectrum magnesium, activated multi vitamin, b complex and omega 3 fish oil. I have noticed though that when I don't take my supplements, I do feel tired that day but a part from that no other symptoms. My gut is healthy I believe because I did the candida and bacterial optimizer protocol last year. Any idea what the root cause could be? Would this be something to worry about? I can get very paranoid with these things sometimes and I worry a little bit too much…
Mario: Every time I take the daily probiotic by equilibrium my tongue gets a black coating. It’s so weird! From my research it indicates a vata-based imbalance but it’s odd that I only get it when I take the probiotic... do you think that it might be because it’s rebalancing my gut microbiome so it’s like a “die-off” effect?
Mario: Hi Dr Cabral. Sorry, I forgot to say in the last question that I didn't get a black coating on the tongue with the Clean Probiotic only the Daily Probiotic. Maybe this information might make a difference in identifying the reason haha!
Sarah: What are your thoughts on seamoss?
Fiona: Hi Dr Cabral, I hope you and your family are doing good during these difficult times! So, you always say that a lot of people with increased intestinal permeability tend to have a lot of igG food sensitivities. However, this is a reaction to the protein right? What about all of those people that react to a lot of herbs? This wouldn't be a reaction to the protein would it? Thank you so much, Fiona.
Tessa: Hi Dr. Cabral-What is the most effective way to help lower triglycerides? I have recently adopted a mostly plant based diet a couple months ago and have lost 10lb. I am still significantly overweight but working on it with diet and exercise and had my gallbladder removed last year for gallstones. My recent bloodwork showed my total cholesterol at 148 with slightly elevated triglycerides. Thanks for your help, I have learned so much from your podcast!

Today I'm going to systematically break down blood type and other pre-existing dis-ease susceptibilities to the virus...
Then, we'll recap as to where we're at in terms of the latest non-media biased pandemic statistics...
And finally, we'll leave off with why this is will be my final virus show and what you should do going forward to stay healthy and sane this Fall/Winter...
It's going to get a little heated when I expose this virus cover-up on today's #CabralConcept 1679 and where you've been lied to over and over again by the media - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

We often hear about plaque in our arteries or around our teeth, but almost never in our digestive tract...
Nevertheless, it does build up there as well and can be the same type of "silent killer" as the other two if left unchecked...
This is why on today's #CabralConcept 1678 we are going to explore what digestive plaque is and why you should be concerned enough to remove it naturally - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

What is "meat glue" and how did it get to be that it's now being used in thousands of food products?
The truth is that meat glue (transglutaminase) doesn't even need to appear on the food label of some of your (or children's) favorite foods...
And, to make matters worse restaurants don't need to declare when they've added it to the foods you have ordered...
That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1677 I'd like to share with you which of your favorite foods meat glue is lurking in - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!

The word "enlightened" gets thrown around a lot without much context as to what it really means...
Some people see it as positive while others think it is a bit too "new age..."
To date, the best real-world formula I've seen as to how to get to true enlightenment is through Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs...
That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1676 I'd like to explore a new take on this hierarchy and what being enlightened really means - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!
I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…
Let’s get started!
Derek: Hi Dr Cabral. I am a registered holistic nutritionist and have been listening to your podcast for over 2 years now and it is very informative and inspiring! I am just wondering if you use homeopathic medicine at all in your practice and what your thoughts are on it? I have wanted to learn a little more about it but am having a hard time finding some good resources on homeopathy . Looking forward to hearing back and thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge!
Jenna: I am curious on your thoughts on using algae or algae oil supplements for Omega 3s vs using fish oil supplements. What are the pros & cons of each? To my understanding, the fish get their Omega 3s from the algae originally, so it makes sense to go straight to the source instead of the "middle man" but fish oil still seems to be more widely recommended instead of algae. What do you think?
Aaron: Dr. Cabral, thanks for sharing so much in your podcasts. I am interested in ayurveda and wonder if you would consider incorporating more ayurvedic terms and analysis in your podcasts. I was reading a translation of the Sushruta Samhita before I discovered you, and am now enjoying Dr. Vasant Lad's Ayurveda textbooks. You've recommended some other ayurvedic books that are on my list, and eventually I'll make it to the Caraka Samhita, but it's a LOT of "alternate" terms to take in! When you answer house calls and give the highlights before referring to a previous podcast, the repetition really helps me with tying things together and remembering them. Adding ayurveda would be a very sweet cherry on top! Would you also consider Dr. Lad's pulse analysis with your topics? It's very complex and your expertise is appreciated, as always! Best regards for you, your family, and your great team!
Mary: Hello,I have been a listener of the podcasts. Thank you for all of the information you share. I recently went to see a functional medicine doctor. I am the mother of 3 boys under age 6 and experiencing brain fog, short attention span, difficulty with memory, anxiety, increased irritability etc. All of my labs came back within normal range. I did a Brain Core brain mapping test and it showed low beta waves (75% dysregulated). The other brain waves were only 'off' by 5-20%. I am considering doing neurofeedback sessions with the doctor. He also suggested supplements, and a good diet to support brain health.Everything sounded reasonable etc, but considering the time and money aspects I wanted to hear Dr. Cabral's take on neurofeedback. I searched the podcasts, but nothing popped up in the search bar. Do you think neurofeedback has benefits? Thanks for your help!
Mo: Hi Dr. Cabral,I can't begin to tell you how amazing your teachings have been for me and my family. Absolutely amazing and life changing. You are a gift to us all!My question is about protein intake.I know you have spoken about this many, many, many times but I am not sure if you have mentioned anything for someone that is very active. I am a pitta-vatta (based on answering your questions from episode 900-907-914), 6'3, 31yr/0, 190lbs, 7-9% BF. Prior to your teachings I trained heavy and intense 4-5x a week but since I found you and your book and listened to nearly 800 episodes so far (I listen to about 4-8 episodes a day lol). I now train full body heavy interval/tri-set/EMOM/ usually 1-2x, 1x medium to light training, and 1-2x just light easy cardio per week. I feel great now, not as burnt out as I used to feel before your teachings.My question is, do I still need to do about half my body weight in protein or would you look at doing more? I don't get hungry after eating for usually 3 hours. I do your famous purple shake every morning and have calculated my macros to be around 110g of protein, 220g of carbs, 90g of fat on average with 2 flex meals per week which I fast the next day.Thank you again for all you do, the world needs more Dr Cabrals! All the best, Mo.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!
This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!
Check out today's questions:
Stephanie: I started getting skin rashes and acne every time I ate gluten, nuts or eggs. I removed that and then I started reacting to a bunch of different foods too such as seeds, dairy, numerous vegetables, avocados, coconut and herbs and the list goes on. I did an organic acid test which showed some yeast but not a massive overgrowth which was odd considering all of my symptoms. I then proceeded with the CBO protocol and have just finished it today. Hoping that I could finally start eating foods again, it looks like I’m still reacting to everything. At this point I am so hopeless because I was also taking zinc and glutamine during those 12 weeks to seal the gut wall. I continue getting the acne and skin rashes with a bunch of foods and I don’t know what is going on. My HTMA showed some mercury but nothing too extreme either. Please help.
Samantha: Hi Dr Cabral,Can you explain why Fatlossity PM helps me more with getting to sleep than the Deep Sleep Protocol? I've had sleep issues for awhile. I do take Vyvanse which is an adhd stimulant and I know that makes sleep a challenge for many but Fatlossity PM has been a game changer for me. I'm wondering if it's ok to continue long term and what ingredient is in Fatlossity that's not in the Deep Sleep Protocol which could be making a difference? Thank you so much. You're amazing. Sincerely, Samantha
Annie: Hello! I am looking at purchasing a weighted blanket. We have a non-toxic mattress and organic bedding, so I'd like to get a weighted blanket that is also non-toxic/etc. Do you have one to recommend? Thanks!
LAL: Hi, dr. Cabral,me again, hehe :)I hope you don’t mind me having so many questions, but I feel you are an amazing & a very trustworthy source of information.. listening to your podcasts & asking you questions here makes me feel like I’m learning A LOT every day & getting real answers helps with anxiety about all the contradicting information in today’s world.. so thank you again!I listened to your answer on juicing watermelon rinds if they’re not organic and I have a follow up question:You said to soak all produce in a solution of apple cider vinegar & water instead of in sodium bicarbonate in water.. could you please explain why a bit more in depth? What is the difference between the two? Why is one better than the other? And is it important what kind of vinegar?People here mostly use alcoholic vinegar for cleaning.. is that ok or not for soaking produce?And also how much would you use and for how long would you soak?Thanks for your help & have an amazing day, everyone! :)
Tonia: I'd like to know your opinion on the Alkaline Electric/Vegan lifestyle and if there is anything to the African Bio Mineral Balance.
Nicole: Hi Doctor Cabral, I am so glad your podcast was recommended to me by one of your listeners. Wish I would have found you years ago so I wouldn't need to be asking these questions. My daughter is 6 and has had stomach pain for about 2 years now. It is mostly around her belly button and when asked what it feels like she says " it feels like puke". Headaches seem to be correlated at times also. Doctors kept saying it was anxiety and told me the xray showed constipation. She has soft normal looking BM everyday. GI doctor just wanted to give her medication. I recently did a food sensitivity test that found high reactions to eggs, dariy( which she ate every day). Since changing the diet I would say she is 90% better. We started your parasite protocol on July 28th. I plan to buy your gut support protocol after completing the parasite cleanse. Is this what you would do? I know you recommend the Vitamins acid test and stool test for gut problems but I can't afford them right now. What else might help? I thought maybe enzymes to help breakdown things her gut cannot? We have made progress but I really want her at 100% and to never hear her say her stomach hurts.Thank you so much for all I have learned so far!
Inga: Dear Doctor Cabral,I recently found your podcast and have fallen in love with it ! Your teachings are clear and very helpful.I know your are not a pediatrician, but my one year old son has been diagnosed with eczema. He also has a stuffy nose all the time .. I was wondering if there is any link in the two? Is there anything you would suggest for him? He is still breast feeding but also eat solid foods . Little sugar !Thank you for all your help and I appreciate you and your time !Inga

I'm human like everyone else and that means I get the occasional cold, cough, or congestion to varying degrees...
But, that doesn't mean I like it and I do try to avoid these "colds" at all costs using various daily healthy lifestyle routines...
Regardless, we will all get sick at some point and that's why it's important to already be prepared with what you need to do before it strikes...
And of course, this topic is more important than ever during these times when boosting your immune system does work to keep you better insulated from dysregulated immune responses...
So for all the details on what I do and take when I personally get sick tune into today's #CabralConcept 1671 - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!

Often times I think many people believe that their happiness is dependent upon outside forces…
New research shows that some of our ability to be happy is actually hardwired through genetics…
However, what has also been shown is that there are other more controllable circumstances that can greatly increase someone’s happiness in their life…
Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 1669 to learn more about this new research and how happiness really can be learned - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!
I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…
Let’s get started!
Kristin: Good afternoon. I am at a loss and need some help. In brief, I am 38 year old mother of three. After giving birth to my third child I starting having adult acne and some serious gut issues. I tried going to my primary doctor with no luck, then I went to two holistic doctors that made me feel better temporarily, but the cost of the supplements started to get outrages. I felt like every time I went there was a new supplement I needed to take. At one point I was taking 20 different supplements a day! Now to today, I feel like I can barely eat, everything hurts my stomach and my acne is back on and I have new hair growing in places is should not as a woman. I went to my primary once again and she ran blood saying everything is fine when clearly it is not. I am so frustrated and would love some answers. My dream would to be on the best plan, but I know I can not afford it. What would you recommend? Thank you.
Lillian: I have a high cortisol after the challenge with dexomethorphan. But barely over the minimum range. But my symptoms of insomnia and anxiety and thirst etc match Cushings. Do you have any podcasts on Cushings?
Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :)Hope you’re having a great day!I listened to your podcast on celery juice a couple of times now and I have some questions.. I’m a daily celery juice drinker (usually 1litre or 32oz. half an hour after 1litre of lemon-ginger water) but have recently found out all the soaking, washing, prepping & juicing celery is causing me some anxiety because it takes up a lot of time, not to mention cleaning the juicer afterwards.. and because I also cannot buy organic celery - it being so expensive here, I think I want to start juicing cucumbers instead.. could you tell us if cucumbers are anywhere close to celery in healing compounds? Or is hydration the only benefit?Do they also need to be organic? They’re not on the dirty 12 list.. I don’t peel them, just soak them in sodium bicarbonate.. is that good for soaking produce? I only ever heard you mention apple cider vinegar for that purpose, but I always use s. b.So basically, do you think we can get the same benefits with juicing cucumbers as with celery?Medical Medium says it’s the next best thing if you cannot stand celery (which I have no trouble with) but do celery even if you cannot get organic because the benefits outweigh the negative effects of pesticides.. would you agree?Thank you for all you do..
Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral..This time I am writing on behalf of my friends.. their 5 year old daughter has a rare genetic disease called Ataxia-telangiectasia, have you heard of it?Is there anything they could do to help their little girl have the best life she can have considering her condition?Is there anything that can be done when it comes to these genetic diseases?Is healthy nutrition something they could do? Are there foods she shouldn’t consume? And supplements?Her mother doesn’t trust alternative medicine, but I hope I can help her father to some information on what to do..Thank you, these podcasts are absolutely amazing, have a lovely day with your loved ones.. and happy healing to all your listeners:)
Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :)Hope you & everyone around you are well..I have a question regarding barley grass juice powder: Medical Medium says it should be in every day heavy metal detox smoothie along with wild blueberries, spirulina, dulse & cilantro because all together are really good at taking heavy metals out of the body.. but it’s essential it’s a JUICE powder not just barley grass powder.. what is your opinion on that? Why is barley grass juice powder good? Could you please explain this in depth..Thank you so much and have an amazing day, everyone
Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral!First off, I want to say I'm a huge fan of your podcast and really appreciate everything you teach us. I was wondering about the "right" amount of protein intake. I'm 5'2, 107-8 lbs, and I weight train 2-3x a week, run once a week, and do dance cardio 2x a week. How much protein should I be consuming? I'm trying to build muscle through weight training and used to lift 4-5x a week, but I've lessened the amount since being home because of the quarantine. I want to build a bit of muscle or at least maintain, and I'm seeing all types of articles on the internet. What's the optimal amount of protein per pound I should be consuming?Thanks Lisa
Lorena: I know eczema is caused by gut issues but can it also be related to hormones? I’ve realised that my eczema is worse at certain times of my period cycle!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!
This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!
Check out today's questions:
Lauren: Dr Cabral,Please help! My 4 & 1/2 year old daughter has just recently developed body odour, some darker hairgrowth on her top lip & legs, a random long hair in the middle of her forehead, and she now has perioral eczema. I am concerned the hair growth may be signs of early hormonal changes, although I should mention she is half maltese, so unsure how much genetics plays a part in the hair growth.Before all this she had a rough chicken skin since a baby, and almost constant bloating, both of which have cleared up since completing the childrens parasite protocol, CBO with mastic gum and is almost finished the heal and seal. Now this eczema on her face makes me think I may need to do some testing on her gut.Previous to these protocols she tested high IgG for egg and moderately to another 16 foods. I have not retested these as yet. She eats very well, lots of wholefoods, almost completely organic, gluten free and the only dairy we have is butter.I am looking for advice on where to go from here, as I am very worried about what is going on in her little body. I am an IHP and student naturopath, but never imagined I'd be practicing on my own children already, and this makes me nervous as they are such precious little souls! Would love your thoughts.
Paula: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for what you do and I love listening to the Cabral Concept first thing when I wake up. I don’t miss one episode! My dad is 73 and has recently done a scan which showed a significant loss in bone density. He cannot walk more than 20m because he feels a lot of pain. I hate seeing him like this and the doctor said that there’s nothing he can do but take very strong painkillers. I know that there isn’t really anything he can do because the bone mass is gone but is there anything that he can at least to reduce the pain?
Natalie: What exactly is hydroxychloroquine and is it safe? If it is effective at preventing the virus, what are the possible downsides? Will it be an effective solution to the pandemic long-term?
Patrick: Hi Dr. Cabral hope all is well. I’m 46 and feel like I’m in the best shape and best health since finding your podcast a few years ago. My question is about speed and endurance I play competitive hockey 2 days a week but feel like I’m losing that extra boost of speed and energy when I need it . I do go to the gym 3 days a week for about 30 min of strength training upper and lower body so I don’t feel it’s a strength issue. I’m hoping to keep playing sports and be competitive for a long time . Thank you for all you do
Ken: Hey Dr. Stephen Cabral. What are your thoughts on frozen collagen peptides? Being a supplement junkie I recently purchased frozen collagen peptides having an amount of 9000 mg each pill with 3000 mg L-Glutathione, also. I know collagen are great for the body as well as glutathione but what are your thoughts particularly on collagen peptides and L-glutathione forms? Thank you for all the value you provide.
Dan: Hi Dr. Cabral. About two years ago I started a very strict regiment where I was doing a ketogenic diet, daily intermittent fasting and daily steady state cardio. This initially had me feeling the best I’ve ever felt in my life both mentally and physically. Unfortunately the results were short lived and after about a 8 months I started experiencing significant digestive issues, loss of sex drive, as well as depression and anxiety. This coupled with some stressful life events had me feeling like I just didn’t have any gas in the tank. I had my testosterone level checked and it was very low at 198. I began seeing a functional medicine doctor who found I was in phase 3 HPA axis dysfunction with very low DHEA levels, I had SIBO, and a magnesium and potassium deficiencies. I’ve heard you say that this is a very predictable way in which the body breaks down on a ketogenic diet. After following my doctors supplementation regiment for about 5 months, going back to a normal diet and reducing exercise I feel so much better and my symptoms have for the most part resolved. What I can’t get back to is the feeling of vitality I initially felt on the ketogenic diet. Do you have any insight into why this made me feel so good and how I can get that feeling back. Thanks -Dan
