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

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

Let’s get started!   

Nicolo: I finished the 21 day detox and feel great. the one issue that i thought would be relieved by the detox was bumps/pimples on back of upper arms and shoulders. i am 44 year old male 6'-1" 200 pounds.

Lorena: Hi Dr Cabral! I'd love to get your view on the following: For young women that don't have their periods whether it is due to primary or secondary amenorrhea, are chronic levels of low estrogen an issue? Estrogen levels of 211 pmol/L for example. I've read that: 1. Not having a period is strongly correlated with below normal bone density. 2. Heart function - low estrogen is associated with a increased risk of heart disease as estrogen helps with the formation of hormones like nitric oxide and so keeps levels of vasoconstrictors low. 3. Increased risk neurodegenerative diseases as estrogen is highly protective of brain cells because the cells called microglia are turned off by estrogen and progesterone thus reducing inflammation in the brain. Do you agree on the above?

Tessi: I am a 36 year old, and have addison's disease and hypothyroidism. I recently suffered a Missed Miscarriage (silent miscarriage) after being 8 weeks pregnant. Is this common for people who have autoimmune issues? I read that it this type of miscarriage only happens to 3-5% of females...I really want to try to get pregnant again but scared this may happen again.... Currently I'm waiting to get my big 5 lab results back so I can start my healing journey.

Lorena: Hi, it's me again :) If the risk for osteoporisis, heart disease and brain diseases are increased on a woman with amenorrhea what would you advice be other than getting the period back? At this point, I give up on getting my period back. It's been years without it since I came off birth control and never got it. I've gone to the best endocronologists and gyneocologists in Germany and they can't figure out why I can't get my period back. All of my hormones are normal according to them. Maybe a little on the lower side when it comes to E2, LH and testosterone but that's about it. I even ran the saliva test with your team and they said that my estrogen, DHEA and progesterone were a little low but nothing crazy out of range for me not to have my period. I did all of your protocols (CBO, CBO finisher, heavy metal detox & more). Foundational protocol level 3 with extra vitamin D & magnesium. One endocrinologist suspects hypothalamic amenorrhea but tbh I doubt it. I'm a 25 year old vata (bmi 20.1. & 14% body fat.,10k steps per day & 30 mins of strength training 4 times a week. Eat 90% plant-based with plenty of protein, carbs and fat approx 2000 calories). Maybe body fat is a little low? I'm doing everything right and I just want my period back.

Leandro: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for answering so many questions. I find the answers very helpful and I have learned so much. My question is regarding waking up in the morning with a locked jaw. My wife, for years wakes up most mornings with a locked jaw. You can actually hear her jaw pop, like when you crack your knuckles, when she tries to open it most mornings. Sometimes she says it's stuck for a little bit before she can open it. She has been to a chiropractor and seen other doctors and dentists, but most doctors/dentists recommends she gets a shot of botox to help address it, which she doesn't want to do. Is there anything you could recommend to address this? She has PCOS, but otherwise is a very healthy woman. Thank you.

Aubree: My question is, is there an underlying issue that goes along with ganglion cysts? I’ve had two. The first went away on its own and the 2nd one I’ve had for a couple of years. Any help you can give without getting it lanced?Thanks!

Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!

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

Check out today's questions: 

Anonymous: I have HSV-1 (genital) and used to have a flare up once a year, then when I developed a Candida problem it has been 3-4 times a year. After getting the covid vaccine, I am now having outbreaks every 2-4 weeks. For the last 6 months I have completely changed my diet to mostly meat and veggies to keep the right ratio of lysine/arginine in my body. I drink acv with gse and cayenne daily. I run three times a week, get enough sleep, take a multivitamin, etc. I cannot figure out what else this increase in outbreaks is from without linking it to when I got vaccinated. I have a stressful job but have had that stress for years so that is not something recent. I feel like I am starting to become depressed with how often I am going through these outbreaks. Do you have any other recommendations or have you heard of the vaccine being linked to more frequent outbreaks at all? I love your podcast and appreciate any advice you have.

Shelly: Hi Doc! Thrilled to have this resource to guide my health. Thank you for your selflessness. I am hoping you can help me with the supplements I am taking. I feel I am double-dipping and not taking them at correct times but it's easiest to take them after I break my fast with a smoothie. I am a 44-yr-old female, 5’5”, 130 lbs, very healthy lifestyle. I strength train 3 days/week, HIIT 2 days, rest 2 days. My workouts are 30 min/day. I start my day with a smoothie: almond milk, DNS & lots of fruits and veggies. I am almost 100% DF and GF. I get 7½-9 ½ hrs sleep/night and fall asleep within 2 min. I fast from 7:30pm-11:30am most days & do one 24-hour fast/mo. I was diagnosed with RA 3 years ago and changed my nutrition immediately. I found out 2 yrs ago that I have a hole in my heart that I was probably born with. 14 years ago I began getting 1 ocular migraine every 2 years. Weird. I haven’t had one in 2-3 years now. I take Pure Curcumin 500 with Biopterin & Vitamin D3 5,000, Nordic Omega 330 EPA/220 HHA, St. Joseph's Aspirin 81m, Magnesium Oxide 500 mg Zinc 15+by Kal, Equilife mushroom pills. What are your thoughts on my situation? Am I taking too much or not enough of something? Thank you so much.

Deanna: hi Dr. Cabral, I had some recent blood work done and it came back with low ferritin and low white blood count. My herbalist said to get a covid antibody test which may account for the low white blood cells. That test was negative. I am wondering what other causes might be? In addition, I also have had a lot of random bruising which seems to have mysteriously started since my partner received his vaccine. I have not taken it myself. On a side note, you have answered my question about fever blisters in the past. I have determined that I would get them any time I was in the vicinity of a cell tower. I started researching EMF sensitivity and found that glutathione and NAC are both helpful for mitigating the effects of EMFs. I have not had one fever blister since taking these two supplements. Coincidence? thank you for you podcast! Deanna

Ryan: I've been suffering from severe toenail fungus for well over a year. I've done OAT + mycotoxin combo testing and both showed perfect results. Low/normal yeast, fungal, and mold levels. I've been following a healthy diet & lifestyle for years, have done the CBO protocol in full, and continued to follow the diet template in that protocol for the past 1 year since completing it. I've tried foot soaks, topical creams, ointments, essential oils, and literally dozens of proposed toenail fungus remedies and can't beat this thing. I've done extensive ozone (rectal + topical), h202 therapy, IV vitamin C, nail fungus laser removal, and more. Nothing has worked to eliminate the toenail fungus. I don't have any other symptoms or fungal issues anywhere in/on my body (that I know of). I am at the point of trying oral itraconazole or terbinafine. I have been reluctant up until this point due to potential side effects, but I feel I have exhausted virtually all-natural health options and they do have a high success rate. I'm not looking for any medical advice, simply your personal opinion on oral anti-fungal drugs and what you would do in this situation (hypothetically speaking of course).

Lily: Hi Dr.Cabral, Do you have any advice regarding back acne in male adults? My husband has been experiencing a lot of acne all over his back, shoulders, and chest. Some are very deep, and some are blackheads. We have tried soaps for sensitive skins and also acne body washes and spray that contains salicylic acid. Could it be something in his diet? I tried to search your podcast but could not find anything on this specific subject. Thank you so much for your time and your wonderful podcast!

Chelsea: Hi Dr. Cabral! Fellow Bostonian living down under in Australia. Sharing your podcast far and wide down here! Thanks for all you do - you're truly amazing at what you do, and so generous to share such in-depth knowledge with the community! I just started the limited yeast protocol after reviewing my labs with your team. Leading up to now I've often used a high quality flavourless collagen protein/beef gelatin powder made of bovine hides (see below for link) as I'm mostly plant based but struggle to digest plant proteins. Would this disrupt the CBO/limited yeast protocol or hinder my results? I often put in smoothies as I like that it's tasteless which I like, but don't want to compromise my results. I take the daily nutritional support separately in a little shake with water as I like the fresh unflavoured taste of fresh fruit and veg in a smoothie. Also just curious why things like nuts, seeds, red meat, and bone broth aren't allowed during limited yeast protocol as I wouldn't have associated them with high yeast! Thanks again for all you do and for the time you spend sharing with the community!

Food Sensitivities may cause bloating, but bloating & gas do not necessarily mean you have a food sensitivity…
 
At first, this can seem confusing, but once you discover the difference between the two you’ll have an easier time assessing your symptoms and then know how to go about correcting them…

I got COVID…
 
I previously thought I had it at the very beginning of the pandemic, but that was before testing and so I couldn’t confirm it for sure…
 
Now after 2 separate and positive lab tests I know I got it.
 
And now that I’ve been through it and that I’m fully recovered I wanted to share with you today my personal COVID-19 story, as well as the plan I used in order to maintain a strong and healthy immune system.
 
Today’s show on my COVID story and comeback is completely unbiased and will present both sides of the aisle and hopefully, you’ll gain a few takeaways in the process - Enjoy #CabralConcept 2089 and let me know what you thought in the comments!

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

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

Let’s get started!   

Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. Hope all is well with you and family. I read James Nestor's Breathing book on your recommendation and after hearing him on your show. What are your thoughts on "mewing" as recommended in the book. If it's something you believe has benefits (or drawbacks) is it possible for you to discuss it further? Thank you

Anonymous: Hi dr cabral, thank you infinitely for all you do and your passion for sharing your knowledge with us.. i love listening to the podcast. My question is for my daughter who is 18. She is in college and is busy. She enjoys exercising and is on the cheer team so lots of tumbling and is active but she suffers from anxiety. Some days worse than others, especially these days. I too have it. I take the adrenal soothe. Would that be something that she could take as well ? Any other suggestions ? Thanks so much again - take care

Nicole: Hi Dr Cabral! First off, thank you for all of the time and effort you put in…it is GREATLY appreciated! I have been struggling with severe cramping, bloating and back pain about 7 days before my period starts. I’ve also had lab work done over the years and it has shown that my progesterone typically peaks within a high range during first half of luteal phase but then drops off “earlier than desired” (a quote from my RE). My question is, could my low progesterone be solely due to high cortisol (which I already know is one of my issues) or could it be caused by insufficient egg quality/premature ovarian failure? Is there any way to know for sure? Can the two be related? Any other advice on how to increase egg quality would be greatly appreciated!

Carrie-Ann: Thank you a million times over for all that you do for this world. 12 months ago I did the big 5 labs and in the last 12 months I have done the 21 detox, CBO protocol with finisher and citrocidal drops, intestinal cleanse, heavy metal detox, 7 day detox, another 3 weeks of citrocidal drops (as symptoms hadn’t cleared) and I continue to take your DNS, DFVB, magnesium, zinc, probiotic, vitamin C and D, fish and fish oil daily. I am IHP level 2 certified and also I have been a chiropractor for the last 20 years. I’ve lived a natural healthy lifestyle for the last 15-20 years. After having my first baby 10 years ago I developed psoriasis and now also have high grade cervical dysplasia. Since starting your protocols I’ve had some great things change. My two fungal toenails are almost all grown out normal and I’ve had 2 plantar warts on the soles of my feet for years and they are both gone. I’m thrilled about both these changes as it really lets me know things are improving internally. Although I have seen no change in my psoriasis and I still have high grade cervical dysplasia (confirmed 2 weeks ago with biopsy and colposcopy). So finally to my question, what more can I do? I have no other symptoms. Digestion is great, I sleep well, my stress levels are low and I love my life.

Lilly:  Hi doctor Cabral, After you talked about your experience with a CGM, I started wearing one and am learning so much about my diet. Thank you for that great tip! I’ve noticed that my sugar drops extremely low a few times a night and I usually wake up when that happens. I think I know what’s causing it: I eat a very early dinner and fast until breakfast. And I know that in order to prevent the nighttime dips, it would be good to eat something before sleep, but I really don’t want to break my (clean) fast. Is there anything you could recommend to prevent the nighttime hypoglycemia, without using food? Thanks so much! Lilly

Richard: Hello Dr. Cabral, First off I want to say thank you for all that you do. Your passion for helping people is truly remarkable and it is much appreciated! My question is regarding the use of iodine with autoimmune diseases, particularly Hashimotos. I have done a lot of research on this and listened to some of the top autoimmune specialists and most of them seem to agree that taking iodine, whether from foods or supplements, can do more harm than good. Their argument is that an autoimmune condition is basically and overactive immune system and Iodine can also increase the activity of the immune system, which in turn increases the autoimmunity. They claim there are numerous research papers in scientific literature that shows when Hashimotos patients are given iodine, their autoimmune condition can flare up. I would love to hear you thoughts on this and whether or not you recommend iodine for your patients that have Hashimotos. Thank you so much!!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!

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

Check out today's questions: 

Leanne: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a question regarding FASD, Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder. What advice can you give for a 9yr old boy affected by FASD? Symptoms are vast but include sleep issues, mood and behavioral problems, learning difficulties, ADD type behaviors although we've had an assessment for autism and add and there was no diagnosis given. Any input you have will be gratefully received! Thanks.

Josh: Hey I have been having an issue with an ingrown toenail. I've had a round of antibiotics and a podiatrist trimmed the nail and didn't do the full procedure. Going back for a checkup on Sept 21. I think the nail is getting infected again, I've been soaking it in epson salt and treating it with neosporin. I've just recently learned of your podcast and was wondering what could I treat my toe with instead of neosporin, didn't realize that it was an antibiotic. Thanks!

Tammi: Dr Cabral, Thank you for all the information you provide on your show. I have been listening to your show for quite some time and often though man this guy discusses mold lot. I realize that mold can be a huge issue but coming from the West Coast with our dry heat there’s never really an issue. I also have lived in Japan but we had dehumidifiers in each room so still mold and mildew were never an issue. Fast forward to a few weeks ago (the beginning of August) my husband, our 13 month old and I moved to Boston. Now I’m blown away and get that mold is a crazy real thing here, that I just don’t know how to manage. For example, I bought a watermelon less than a week later when my husband went to cut it there was mold underneath the watermelon. Our bathroom is constantly mildewy despite the dehumidifier being right outside the door. Our water bottles need to be scrubbed weekly even if they only contain water… I have asked several people we have met about the humidity, how they manage it in there homes and I really just don’t get any response other than yea it’s an issue. Could you please explain to someone who just does not know how to manage the humidity here, what do I need to be doing to manage it and to keep our family safe? Thank you Feeling ridiculous and lost

Chad: Hello Dr. Cabral, love everything you do. For the past 6 months I have been miserable in my own home with near crippling allergies. When I wake up in the morning my eyes are swollen and itchy, I sneeze about 20 times and my head feels like it’s underwater. The worst part is that my sinuses are swollen shut so breathing my nose is next to impossible. I’m almost positive the allergen is in my house ie. mold, dust mites, or some other indoor allergen. What would your advice be for the first step to solving this so that I can get my life back to normal. Thank you very much, Chad

Samantha: Hi Dr Cabral, After running my big 5 labs it was recommended I stick to a low oxalate diet. I have read this will help with kidney stones although I haven't had any as of yet, I'm 43, but my question is if it has any connection to help with tonsil stones? I am currently starting the CBO protocol with my mom and hoping it will cure the chronic tonsil stones but if it hasn't I'm hoping to find another answer. I have listened to all previous podcasts on tonsil stones and have followed all advice regarding gargles etc BUT maybe the CBO will get me there as I know it's a biggie. I just wonder if eating low oxalate could help as well?? Thank you so much Dr Cabral. You truly are amazing.

June: Hello, I have been a long timer follower, dedicated to the detox protocol and beyond. With all the podcasts available and the search engine supplied, i am unable to find a podcast that would support my dilemma. My son who has a two year old is suffering from excema and has been prescribed multiple doses of steroids “GULP” (against my counsel) is now reaching out to me for help. What podcast would be best to send to him regarding this issue. As much as I try, I cannot find out the 100’s of podcasts one that speaks to this directly. Thank you, thank you, thank you

It’s funny that when I talk with people, aerobic-based “cardio” (running biking, etc.) is just one of those things that most people love to hate…
 
I hear all the time that “it’s boring, it’s a waste of time, it’s catabolic, HIIT is much better…”
 
You can insert your own insult for cardio as well (I know I have!), but with every passing year, I find more and more research pointing not to the body transformation benefits of cardiovascular exercise, but rather the health, mind, mood, and longevity results…
 
Today, I’d like to share with you a new stress-reducing neurotransmitter we can make ourselves every time we do aerobic cardio - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

By now we all know the immune & metabolic benefits of taking vitamin D3 on a daily basis if we’re not maintaining a tan…
 
However, did you know that you could be absorbing more than double the vitamin D each day by making minor changes as to when you take your daily D3?
 
Plus, there are potential downsides to supplementing with Vitamin D3 if done incorrectly, which is why I want to help you easily navigate away from those side effects and instead enjoy all the immune, metabolic, blood sugar, hormones, and many other benefits of using Vitamin D3 safely…
 
So for all the details tune into today’s #CabralConcept 2083 for the missing cofactors for absorbing vitamin D3 - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

I would love to be able to tell you that there is a silver bullet approach to living the easy life, but if I did I’d be lying to you…
 
I think deep down we all know this, but we hold out hope that there is a “one-day fix” or “magic pill” that we can use to create the life we want…
 
Luckily, there’s an even better answer that will lead to far greater happiness in the long run and I explain why and what that is on today’s show…

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

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

Let’s get started!   

Cassandra: Hi Dr. Cabral, Since about December I've noticed a ganglion cyst on my wrist. It goes away occasionally but eventually comes back. I asked a physician about it and they said it could be drained but still could come back eventually. The only other solution they suggested is to remove it surgically but only as a last resort if it becomes very painful. Do you know of any natural ways to get rid of this. It's not super painful in daily life but quite uncomfortable if I'm holding a plank for example.  Thanks!

Karen: Hi Dr. Cabral! I remember you discussing the Sperti lamp for vitamin D absorption and was wondering if you had been able to test out the lamp? If so, what was your consensus? Super-interested in hearing your thoughts!

Alyssa: Hi Dr Cabral! I have bacterial vaginosis on and off for months on end.. i really don’t want to have to take antibiotics as I have a liver and GI disease and autoimmune issues I’m working through with nutrition and holistic modalities. I know antibiotics will really set me back… I know you can’t prescribe, just wondering, do you have any natural suggestions to remedy BV? Thank you immensely!

Angele: Hello, I am looking for a natural supplement to keep me calm. I become very nervous when I have to see the doctor and cause my BP to go extremely high.Thanks in advance.

Stacey: Hi Dr Cabral! My name is Stacey, I'm 29 and an Australian listener. We have just had our winter and during that time I noticed the ends of my toes were getting really itchy, red and swollen, it was such an uncomfortable feeling. I was told I have chillblains and that there isn't really a cure then to just keep your feet warm at all times. I must say that has helped so much. But I wonder if this is a response to something else? I have never had this issue before I tried to search up the issue on your podcasts but couldn't find any resources. Thanks so much for your help. Stacey

Sarah: Hi! Love your podcast! I’d love for you to review the book called “No period, now what” by Lisa Sanflippo. I know it’s very niche but I also know that you’re all about granularity rather than surface level. I’m sure you have listeners that would be interested or know others that are going through it. I think a review will be very valuable for us all and to strengthen your knowledge on this area too :) I hope you consider it!

Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!

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

Check out today's questions: 

Vabona: Hi! I recently found out that miralax has ingredients in it that are found in antifreeze. Said ingredients are said to cause many problems including neuropsychiatric and kidney problems. I have miralax to my son for a while from my drs recommendations. I’m terrified of all the damage I have done. What can I do to help my 5 year old detox that is safe. Thank you

Dana: I had a moderate case of covid a month ago and feel depressed ever since. I am 48 and perimenopausal and am wondering if covid causes any vitamin/mineral deficiencies or hormonal changes that may contribute to depression? Prior to getting covid I was taking vit d, c, b complex, magnesium and occasional zinc as well as methylfolate for mthfr def. (one copy). I am prone to seasonal affective disorder but always feel great in summer so this is unusual for me. Thank you! Love your podcast!

Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thanks for taking the time to answer so many questions. I have a question about non-diabetic reactive hypoglycemia. I searched old episodes & found a brief explanation on episode 218 but I think my question is more specific. I have not been officially diagnosed. No matter the amount of carbs I eat or don't eat, my blood sugar drops an hour after I eat a meal to sub 70. At times sub 60. But then 2-3 hours later it spikes. During the day the spike is generally 100-120 but after dinner its 120-150. Fasting BS is below 70-90. I dip into sub 60 during the nights a lot. My sugars are relatively low most of the day until my dinner meal & that is when I get 120-150. It still goes back under 100 before bed. I am wearing a CGM to try to see if I can identify the issue & so far no luck. Like I mentioned the same meal can cause little to no drop/spike & then the next time I have it it does. I have heard that Reactive Hypoglycemia is a precursor to diabetes so I would really like to fix the underlying root cause before that becomes an issue. I eat whole foods 95% of the time, I intermittent fast 12-14hours. I work out 2 cardio 3 strength per week. I try to walk at least 30 minutes each day. Drink lots of water. Thanks for your help!

Megan: Hi Dr. Cabral, I absolutely love your podcast!! I’ve learned so much and implemented many of your suggestions while healing my body. My question is about my 18 month old son. I now know that when I was pregnant I had Candida, SIBO, and parasites. I’m worried I have passed these conditions on to my baby. I nursed him for 16 months and during that time I unknowingly detoxed some of the Candida. I believe the toxins got into my breastmilk, as my baby had really bad eczema during this time and has had a hard time eating solids as well. I feel awful. I’m concerned about gut issues developing as he gets older. How can I help my baby get as healthy as possible moving forward? Thank you so so much for your passion & sharing your wisdom!

Maria: Hi Dr! I have been curious about this for some time. Both my parents have received the AZ vacc, and their reactions were entirely different. My father felt absolutely normal the following days whereas my mother had severe fever, chills, headache for about 24hr. Would this be due to bio individuality or have something to do with the strength/over reactivity of their immune system, if so, is there a favourable response?

Thanid: I had the jab and l regret it. How do l detox it from my body.

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!

Why is it that some people experience high levels of stress coupled with a low mood and slow metabolism?
 
The answer lies within the nervous system and not just within the hormones themselves…
 
That is the beginning of the puzzle, but in the end, you must rebalance the stress and sex hormones in order to feel a greater sense of calm and well-being…
 
All of that can and will be done with the right Integrative Health protocol based on your unique situation…
 
That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 2078 I’d like to share with you one of our client case studies on high stress + low hormones, mood and metabolism and how we go about correcting this issue - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments

Carbohydrate cycling has been around now for decades (or longer), but it has certainly made a comeback over recent years…
 
One of the reasons is that it’s not overly complex and a fairly easy way to manipulate one macro (carbs) in order to lose weight and burn more body fat…
 
That’s why on today’s #CabralConcept 2077 I’d like to share with you how to use carb cycling to lose weight and reach your body transformation goals without cutting out all your carbs all the time - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

How deeply have you thought of your goals?
 
Meaning have you actually visualized what your life would be like if you actually do accomplish them?
 
Is it better?
 
Or is it worse? 
 
Doing that type of work now allows you to double down on what you really want out of life and work even harder to make it a reality…
 
We’ll be exploring this topic and much more on today’s #CabralConcept 2075 as we focus on not losing sight of where you’re headed in life - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!

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

Check out today's questions: 

Simon: Hi Dr Cabral. What do you think about the hype surrounding apple cider vinegar and especially taking it before/during a meal to aid digestion? Is this a good thing to do daily (I would assume with the largest or highest protein meal). Which people and meals would this be most beneficial for?

Javan: Can any over the counter pills help husband with low sperm count or mobility

Maggie: Is smoking weed bad for your immune system? It helps me to de-stress after work and turn my brain off of work-mode and I have noticed that it helps me fall asleep but I worry that it’s disrupting the quality of sleep I’m getting. I currently smoke every day and have read some contradicting things about it either being great for you or suppressing your immune system.

Penelope: hi Dr Cabral, I am writing on behalf of my mom. She is in her 70s and has arthritis and is constantly in a lot of body pain. She does get relief from acupuncture that was advised by her doctor if she goes once a week. However, this isnt always possible and sometimes goes a few weeks without it (and recently longer). So I was wondering if there is anything else she can do at home that is long lasting to relieve the pain? Thank you for all that you do.

Chelsea: Hi Dr. Cabral! Question from down in Australia! I got an Oura ring after hearing some of your podcasts on REM sleep and am loving it. I’m noticing that I’m getting 2-3.5 hours of deep sleep, but not much REM sleep (ie 45 mins to an hour and it’s usually between 5 and 7am). Is that normal? I have good sleep hygiene but my Oura ring is telling me my REM is low. Is it ok to have REM lower if deep sleep is higher? Based on my charts I’m getting lots of good deep sleep from 10pm - 1am. If I’ve tried all the pointers in your past podcasts about REM sleep but am not seeing an improvement, is it possible I just get less REM than most? Thanks for all you do to share helpful information on holistic health! I learn from you every day and share your work often!

Alyssa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was hoping to get some further clarification on my htma lab. I went over it with my health coach during big 5 labs, and I didn’t fully understand the explanation as to why I am dumping large amounts into my hair! My calcium was 271, my magnesium was 44, my sodium was 356 and Potassium was 5. I also tested high in aluminum at 5.32. I’m 36 with controlled RA due to your protocols (thank you!), live a healthy lifestyle, eat well and exercise. I started getting debilitating migraines in February after my second Vacc and histamine reactions to a lot of foods. Because of this I had to quit working full time as an RN in May. Otherwise I’d say I’m pretty healthy and feeling better since running your labs and putting in work on protocols. Do you mind further explaining why I would be dumping so large volumes of certain minerals into my hair? Thank you!

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!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!

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

Check out today's questions: 

Rhea: Hi Dr. Cabral - Can you please provide a point of view on Waveblock's radiation deflectors for Bluetooth earbuds? While it deflects radiation from the ear/brain, could that be absorbed elsewhere in the process of deflection? I would love to know if you think this is a safe solution. THANK YOU! MORE INFO ON WAVEBLOCK:

Maelys: Hello Doctor. I discovered your podcast few months ago and I listen to you every morning on my way to work. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge. I have hidradenitis suppurativa, it is « genetics » as my sisters, mom and her mom also suffer from it. Do you have any advices? Have you help any client to put it in remission? I have been very ill for the last year and a half. I am literally feeling half alive… I found a great GP that diagnosed candida overgrowth (Candida albicans) currently treating it with nilstat I am wondering if those 2 conditions could be linked? Therefore HS won’t’ be genetics but a symptom of candida overgrowth that is transmitted by the mother’s vagina canal at birth? Thank you

Leandro:Hi Dr. Cabral. I enjoy listening to your podcast and have learned a lot from them. I wanted to ask if you ever tried Magic Spoon cereal and would you recommend it? It's supposed to be a healthy alternative to traditional cereal. https://magicspoon.com/ Thanks, Leandro

Danielle: Hi Dr. Stephen Cabral, Big fan of yours! I was recently diagnosed with Hashimotos Hypothyroidism and have been detoxifying my environment. For the past 2 years I have been working with Polymer Clay as a hobby. I recently looked into what this "non-toxic" clay was made out of and it is man-made from a plastic, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) base. Would you advise staying away from this material as someone with an autoimmune disease? Thank you!

Hilary: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a new listener and am a huge fan, currently working through the backlog of podcasts. I have a question regarding daily activity. Like many these days, I work from home and am currently finishing my Bachelors Of Science in Health and Wellness (then plan to move on to the IHP courses!). I am 44 years old, had my last baby at 38 and have never been someone who has had trouble with my weight. I am a kapha body type, very curvy and gain weight evenly everywhere when I put weight on. I never lost the “baby weight” from having my last child and have put on about 15 extra since then. Completely due to a sedentary desk job at home, combined with being tethered to the computer after work to work on my degree. Needless to say, I have a very hard time getting my 10,000 steps as it seems there are simply just not enough hours in the day between work, school and commutes back and forth to pickup/ drop off of kids. Do you have any recommendations for how I can get my 10,000 steps in, if they’re broken up in chunks are they still effective? I follow a 14/10 to 16/8 intermittent fasting schedule 7 days per week and since hearing your podcast, do not eat after 6pm on any given day. I am very careful of my caloric intake, keeping my total calories right about 1500.

Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am a big fan and super enjoy your podcast. It has really sparked an interest in the field of natural medicine and health and I hope to be enrolled in your ihp program in the next year :) I have a question around napping. I have a newer job where I am up before 5:30 and working by 6:30. After 8-9 hours of working and being stimulated by tons of people and things to do I feel like I absolutely have to lay down. I take great naps between 20-30mins and feel refreshed, mind cleared and like I can continue on with my evening normally. I can get overwhelmed and stressed with work, take adrenal soothe daily (3-4 capsules) and was wondering if this is normal, and why I need extra sleep at 3pm after early and eventful workdays. I go to bed 9:30-10:30 every night, sleep well, and am a pitta-kapha body type and 27 years old if that adds anything. I have listened to your show on napping and wanted to hear any additional thoughts. Thank you!

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!
