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!
Lyndsey: Hi there, my background is I’m 36 yr old female, have history of long term antibiotic use mainly for UTI’s. I also have coeliac disease and was diagnosed at age 19. I’m on the path to getting well and am working with an IHP here is Australia. I have done the starter lab tests, am just waiting for the results of these. I’ve started the CBO protocol and will have been doing it for 1 week tomorrow. My question is that for as long as I can remember if I let myself get really hungry I get nasty bloating and wind pain which then gets worse when I eat something. Why is this? It doesn’t seem to happen if I do t let myself get really hungry. My 14 year old daughter gets the exact same thing. I’d love to know what causes this. Thanks so much
Uchi: At 45, I’ve had all of these conditions : PCOS, Hashimoto’s, High Blood Pressure, Colon Cancer, insomnia, skin allergies, constant diarrhea, leaky gut syndrome and anxiety. Have gone to hundreds of doctors, including 2 fx med but my symptoms continue. I want to advocate for my own health and take it into my own hands. Feeling overwhelmed: I don’t know where to start... address what issue first: Autoinmunity? Gut health? Inflammation? Would love to get some light on where to start and focus first.
Sarah: Good day Dr. Cabral. Is Aphantasia something that can be cured or is it something you have to live with? For listeners, it's basically not being able to picture something in one's mind or visualise mental pictures. When told to visualise (like in your motivation and mindset Mondays or during meditation) I always assumed they meant figuratively or something. I did not know people actually see clear pictures in their mind or imagine clearly like they do in TV or film. Just wanna know if there's a root cause or it's normal some people are just unable to do so. Thank you. Have a great day
Sarren: Me again. I've noticed some pushback in health spheres from some doctors that smoothies are overrated. I enjoy them but they're saying blended fruit and vegetables aren't nutritionally equivalent to the same fruit or veggie left whole even though some properties remain present, blending breaks down insoluble fiber. There's also talk of natural sugars are released from within the cell walls of the fruit and become “free sugars”. Is there any truth to what they're saying or are they just bumping their gums? Keep up great work
Rhonda: Hi doctor Cabral, I just started listening to your podcast and just can’t get enough of the amazing health information you have made available. Thank you so much! I have a question I’m hoping you can answer: I’ve been reading a lot about menopause and am a bit spooked about what happens to your body when you lose estrogen. Therefore, I was wondering if there’s anything we can do to delay menopause as far as the lifestyle is concerned? Also, one of my friends is in early menopause (she’s only 44). Is there anything she could do to reverse it? Thanks again for everything you do! Rhonda
Mandy: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a question about my daughter. She is 5 and multiple times each week she is waking up in the night crying with painful legs and feet. Can you offer any advice? Thanks, Mand

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:
Sheila: I have elevated levels of Cobalt (0.068) past the blue range on the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. Can you please explain what could cause this (I don't eat a lot of meat), I do take the EquiLife B Complex once a day. Any other causes for elevation? Is there a concern with this level and if so what can I do to bring it down?
John: Hi Dr. Cabral - I’m having an issue with fatigue and lightheadedness following lunch. I do 2 shakes and 2 meals each day. I don’t have an issue with breakfast which is essentially an oatmeal shake. There’s no protein powder in the shake. I get fatigued following my first whole food meal which is lunch. The next meal at supper causes no issues even if it’s the exact same meal that I had at lunch. I don’t believe the time of day makes a difference because if I go the entire day without eating and only have supper, I get the issue at supper. The common pattern appears to be the first whole food meal of the day. Do you have thoughts on why this could be happening and possible solutions? Some additional information on me: I believe I have mild POTS based on my symptoms of lightheadedness when I get up, etc. I took an Organic Acids test which showed unbalanced gut flora and yeast overgrowth. I am on day 14 of the CBO protocol, but this issue started long before that. I’ve tried Ginger tea which upsets my stomach. I’ve also tried HCL which causes severe burning in my digestive system the next morning. Do I perhaps need to add more food or protein to my first shake to “fire up” my digestion for the day? Thank you for your time.
Suzy: Are you familiar with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome? This is what I believe I have. I experience a burning sensation in my butt, outer hip and down my IT band. Sometimes it's more of a dull ache. It's especially painful when I lay down and put pressure on those areas. I go to physical therapy but it only helps temporarily and really would like to solve the issue long term. Do you have any insight?
Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) I like putting all things I can into my smoothie, so I blend berries with different types of lettuce and herbs, add some seeds like chia and sunflower or pumpkin & linseed (depending on seed cycling), sometimes walnuts, hemp protein, etc.. I like using a lot of cinnamon, turmeric powder (with a bit of black pepper), ginger root in it as well, but I was wondering, how much of each is too much? Because I put A LOT! And too much of a good thing isn’t necessarily better, right? The second part of my question is about the seed cycling.. can I still use other seeds like chia no matter on the time of the month? And how much of the seeds for seed cycling can we use daily? Because I use a lot of sesame (I live in a country where we use Tahini with or in EVERYTHING, lol) Thank you for everything you do, listening to this podcast is a part of my morning routine every day and on days I cannot listen to it, I have withdrawal syndrome.. a little joke there to brighten up your already amazing day (although not far from the truth).. please keep it up, you’re helping so many people.. keep being this amazing! Lots of love for you and your family and everyone listening, Happy healing, Lara
Brynn: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for everything you do! I love your podcast and have learned so much from you! I wanted to write in and ask you what your thoughts are on some of the health issues I am having and have been trying to figure out for the past few years. At the beginning of the day, I am not swollen or inflamed at all. However, throughout the day, my legs (especially ankles and calves) will get swollen and tight. They don’t get as swollen if I’m able to elevate them throughout the day but I have a desk job so it’s hard to elevate them. I workout 5-6 times a week. I’m 25, 134 lbs and 5’8”. It also seems like I have bad circulation since my fingers/feet will stay cold or hot, lips will turn purple when I’m cold, etc. I’m not sure if my circulation is correlated with my swelling or if it’s not related? I also have bad scoliosis - could this play a factor into my circulation and swelling? Sorry this is long, but I would really appreciate any help! I’m doing your parasite cleanse right now and will be doing the mold and heavy metal one after to see if those help. I also had a call with one of your health coaches and they suggested I do the food sensitivity test and the candida metabolic and vitamins test. Thank you so much I’m advance!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!
I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…
Let’s get started!
Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you so much for all the time you put in to help everyone. I really appreciate it and I have learned so much from you. My question is:- I have histamine intolerance and I’m certain that I have a leaky gut as I have a lot of food sensitivities. I only get this during hay fever season. This is my second year of controlling it through diet and not pharmaceuticals. I am keeping a very detailed food diary with symptoms and I am also tracking my weight daily. I would like to know what your thoughts are on looking at weight when trying to work out food sensitivities. Also during menstruation is it natural to gain any weight at all? Just so I can factor this in when I am tracking. I do not have any history of eating disorders and I wish I could afford labs, maybe one day. Thank you so much. Sarah
Kevin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering if you have had the chance to view the documentary: “Seaspiracy?” If so, what are your thoughts on the ability to actually accomplish sustainable fishing, along with the true quality of the fish we are consuming? As stated in the documentary, wild and organic fish are not truly reflective of those labels. Thank you!!
Ericka: Hello, Love your podcast. Learning a lot! I wanted to ask. I follow Ayurevdic lifestyle and I wanted to ask a question. I eat two meals a day. My work day starts at 6am. My first meal is usually around 5am. Lunch between 11 and 12. I do not eat dinner, never been a nigh eater, but around 3, I will have a smoothie. I want to try fasting from lunch to breakfast giving me a 17 hour fast. I am predominantly Pitta, can throw me off? Ericka
Nicolette: Hi Dr. Cabral, First, thank you for all your guidance and expertise over the years! I have been working so hard to remove as many toxins as possible and get myself to the healthiest spot. I love your resources page to help with this transition. I recently purchased a Berkey, and received feedback saying that's not the best option since they are not third party certified. Also, with Equilife, I've transitioned all my supplements over to them, but am worried why they don't share their COA. I think the transparency would really help ease peoples minds. Can you provide guidance around these two things? As always, thank you!!!
Sophia: Hi Dr. Cabral! Is there a root cause for how people react to temperature? "Cold weather people vs hot weather people" is an idea that's thrown around sometimes, and I'm wondering if there's a way to CONTROL my preferences. I have seasonal depression in the summer, and it usually starts because the heat makes me lethargic, uncomfortable, and I feel claustrophobic. It's like I lose 3 months of my life, and I want to know if there's something I can do to control my anguish in hot weather. I've tried hot yoga, I take cold showers, exercise, drink lots of water and am on an SSRI, but if there's another way of controlling this annual downfall, I'd love to hear what you have to say. It's almost as debilitating as allergies.Thank you for any thoughts!
Alyssa: Hi dr Cabral, Fellow Bostonian here! I’m curious if you have heard of David Sinclair’s research out of Harvard university on anti aging using metformin and various supplements to reverse aging. If so, what are your thoughts on his research and his personal anti aging protocols he uses. What do you personally use. Thanks 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:
Paula: Thank you so much for your incredible work. I’m an IHP level 2 btw so I did learn a lot about exercise. However, I was reading Awaken The Giant Within by Tony Robbins and I’m not sure I agree with the section where he talks about exercise. He says that anaerobic exercise burns glycogen as the main source of fuel while causing the body to store fat but aerobic however burns fat as fuel. He talks about the problem of people pushing themselves beyond their heart rates in an anaerobic state and that this is dangerous because the body shunts blood from critical organs because it needs that immediate demand for blood and so these organs lose a large amount of oxygen. According to him “wind sprints create an immediate oxygen deficit in the cells and begin to train your metabolism to burn glycogen/sugar but the fat continues. Apparently the key is to burn fat and not sugar. Very confused now as I thought workouts such as tabatas were very effective to burn fat!
Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, what makes eyes (or an eye) teary in sunlight? My left eye seems to almost always tear at the outer corner when in the sun. Sometimes it won’t stop. My eyes seem to be a little sensitive, nothing I haven’t been able to deal with but for example when I looked out the window the other day I suddenly had a blurry and dizzy feeling to the point I couldn’t see anything and turned round and then a few seconds later was fine. I’m not great with fluorescent lights either. There’s a chance I could possibly be anaemic so whether it’s related I’m not sure, or dry eye (I supplement enough including primrose oil and Seabuckthorn oil). Cannot really recall how long I’ve had this happening. If I wear sunglasses it seems to be ok but I think it was Chervin (Cymbiotika founder) that said our eyes should be exposed to sunlight at least for a bit of time. Thank you for all you do.
Vera: Hello doctor Cabral, I’ve noticed that from time to time I get heart palpitations at the same time when I feel bloated. It actually often happens just before I burp or pass gas. Do you think it is connected? And what can be the cause of it, and the best remedy? Thank you in advance for your answer! Best,Vera
Lyndsey: Hi Dr Cabral I’ve been on long term antibiotics for approximately 9 years ever since getting married. I have coeliac disease and from listening to your podcasts, I’ve found a IHP here in Australia to work with as I’m sure I have some terrible gut problems. I’ll be starting the CBO protocol soon (am waiting for my starter lab results) but I had been taking an antibiotic called macrodantin after having sex to avoid a UTI. I’ve purchased your UTI protocol with the idea that while I’m working to correct my health I could possibly use this in place of the antibiotic. The last thing I want to do is be on antibiotics while I’m trying to get getter. Does this sound like a good plan to you? Previous to the regular antibiotics I had a UTI at least once per month so have been taking antibiotics for my entire married life 16 years! I have listened to your podcasts about UTI’s but I’m not sure any of them directly relate to my issue. Any insight would be great thanks
Kelly: I am a 52 year old female weighing 190 5'5. A recent MRI has shown marrow edema underlying the calcaneal attachment of the distal Achilles tendon. I am an active person currently trying to lose 45 lb and don't like taking ibuprofen. Is there any natural protocols (supplement, essential oil, massage technique or exercise) I could try to relieve the edema or assist this bone marrow issue.Any suggestions is appreciated. Thank you so very much! Kelly
Sophia: Hi Dr. Cabral! For many years I've had this weird itchiness around my lower abdomen - right under the belly button and across my gut - usually a couple minutes after I eat. This sensation is usually also accompanied by bloating and just general discomfort in my body. I always chocked it up to my body dysmorphia, but I'm wondering now if it could be epidermal inflammation from the food I'm eating. It seems like the itchiness is right in the adipose tissue of that area which is super uncomfortable. I don't have a rash or hives or any discoloration. Thank you for any thoughts!

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!
Hailey: Hi Dr Cabral, I have been a listener for years! My question is that I have struggled with acne forever an mostly what I would say is hormonal, cuz it was more around my mouth and chin. I have brought the amounts of active sites down a lot by diet and supplements to lower my cortisol levels. (It’s always a work in progress). I live in the Midwest and i have a indoor job. But for that first time in forever I took a beach vacation, and in prepping, I did go to a tanning bed prior to vacation. I noticed that while using the tanning bed and all the time on vaca where I was getting a lot of sunlight (wearing non nano sun block) my skin was beautiful. Since I’ve come back to the Midwest my skin has blemishes and is breaking out again. What would you suggest I could do to help? The only other time my skin was very clear was when I was pregnant and then nursing. I do take DNS, 4000 IU vit D, B complete, omega 3, probiotic, adrenal soothe, magnesium and ashwaganda tea. Thank you for all you do for us, I share your podcasts and book with others often!
Gosia: hi Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for such a great insight on so many topics. I have learnt from you a lot, I am a nutritional therapist and also use your advise in my practice. I listened once to your podcast where you were mentioning that you have never seen food intolerance to blueberries however I have to admit that on the test I did (IgA from blood sample) it came up together with broccoli and cabbage - seems like great things to eat. I actually eat them despite without any symptoms - do you think it would be worth taking them off? Another question which comes to my mind: when I did the test I was very much overloaded with Candida so the test was showing reaction to oregano and coconut - do you think this could have been because Candida reacts to this products? Another question I wanted to ask on Candida is - does it have any connection with high lactic acid on organic acid test (despite arabinose)? Thanks a lot for your help. Regards, Gosia
Simone: Hi Doctor Cabral, I would be super grateful if you could give me some advice on the following: I do IF and therefore I eat 2 meals a day. In order to get my calories and nutrients in, I make them super large. Healthy of course, but large :) What I'm noticing is that I get extremely bloated after these meals. I had my gut tested, and I have no yeast overgrowth, parasites or anything similar. That's why I wanted to ask you if you think my bloat is result of my large meals, or if I should get more testing (for food intolerances f.e.). And if it is large meals, how should I deal with it to avoid the bloat? Thank you in advance for your answer and hope you have a wonderful day! Simone
Michelle: Dear Dr. Cabral, How do you feel about continuous glucose meters? Do you think it would be a good idea to weare one for a few weeks to figure out what raises your blood sugar and try keeping it balanced? I feel that blood sugar is supposed to go up and down and that monitoring is absolete, but I trust you more than anyone else when it comes to natural health advice, so I would love to hear what you think about it. Kindest regards. Michelle
Sam: If someone is interested in doing both the CBO and parasite protocols, does it matter which one is done first?
Nancy: I have been following Dr. Cabral’s podcast on Heavy Metals Poisoning but couldn’t find anything wrt to detox for uranium from well water. Is there a podcast or specialist you can refer me to for a TeleMed consultation. Thanks in advance for your help.
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:
Suzanne: Hi Dr Cabral.. I’m very interested in a very good collagen supplement but have read that it’s not good for someone who has had breast cancer in the past, so this makes me apprehensive. Can you please provide your thoughts on this? Thank you Suzanne
Maria: Hi Dr! The book I’m currently reading says to it is best to avoid microwaving starchy foods as the high heat turns starch into ‘advanced glycation end products’, which can build up in the body and damage organs. I don’t often use the microwave but I know many people do, so was wondering if you have heard of this. Thanks!
Paula: Hi! What are your thoughts on fitbits or Apple Watches due to EMFs? I wear it to track my steps and sleep :)
Troy: Hi Dr. Cabral, You recently joined us on our “podcast” show and we are grateful for everyone minute spent with you. Your work is life changing. Thank you for everything you do. Question: My wife has had trouble breathing over the last few years and was diagnosed with idiopathic subglottic tracheal stenosis. We are looking for naturopathic ways to treat the issue and prevent breathing problems from reoccurring. My wife has had surgery to go in a laser out the damaged scar tissue blocking the trachea and his being recommended for another surgery that will include chemo. With being a family that strongly believes in naturopathic healing, we are in need of help for other options. Thank you for your consideration in helping us build a better plan. Troy
Kenzie: I have heartburn pretty often. I tried the HCL betaine with pepsin as I suspected I had low stomach acid. I took one capsule and experienced a lot of discomfort in my chest in nausea. Does this mean I don’t have low stomach acid? What should be my next steps to figuring out why I get heartburn?
John: Hi Dr. Cabral - I did the food sensitivity test provided by EquiLife and scored High for all foods in the Dairy group besides Sheep's Yogurt and Beta-Lactogobulin which were Low. I don't notice bloating with Whey, but I scored High on that as well. Considering this, do you think I can use Ghee? Would I have to wait until I have a food sensitivity test where the levels aren't High for all dairy foods? Thank you for your time.
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!
