It has been estimated that over 50% of the world's population have low vitamin D levels…

 

I am not surprised by this figure as we consistently see insufficient vitamin D levels on new client labs every day.

 

Vitamin D is a critical component in almost all important functions in the body and low levels can manifest with a variety of symptoms.

 

So on today’s #CabralConcept 2496 I want to go over what the symptoms of low vitamin D are, ways you can increase your levels, and which Vitamin D foods are best - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

We all have the potential to be, do, and have all that we want in this life…

 

We may start out with big dreams and goals, however, the voice in our head begins to quiet over time and we start to settle for smaller dreams.

 

Fear and uncertainty take hold and we forgo taking the next steps toward our goals because we are unsure how or if it’s going to work out.

 

But on today’s #CabralConcept 2495 I want to share with you the path you can take to develop confidence in yourself and how to overcome uncertainty & go after your dreams - 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…

 

Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I have a quick question on sugar vs non-caloric sweeteners such as xylitol, erythritol and mannitol. I mostly eat a very healthy Mediterranean diet however sweets are my guilty pleasure! I try not too eat too much sugar and avoid artificial sweeteners at all cost, so lately I've been buying some ice cream and chocolate sweetened with xylitol and erythritol assuming this would be 'better for me', but deep down I'm wondering whether a bit of sugar would actually be better than these additives. I've listened to your podcasts on natural non-nutritive sweeteners but never heard you directly compare them to sugar and say which would be a healthier choice. For context I'm fit and healthy with good insulin sensitivity but have suffered from IBS-D in the past. Thanks!

 

Luke: I have been through quite a lot, from going to the gym 6 days a week, eating relatively balanced, happy and healthy individual to one day January 2nd 2021, massive panic attack I thought i was going to die. 2 weeks later, Fibromyalgia symptoms, then Chronic Fatigue, then burning sensations all over my body, then balance issues, then brain fog got so bad I didn't even recognize who I was. I ended up with 30 plus chronic symptoms.  I found functional medicine and I have healed 20 of the 30 symptoms I was experiencing but some still remain. I am a strong believer that EBV was the main cause for all of this. My remaining symptoms are (new symptom) very warm sensation, feels like someone poured warm milk down the left side of my leg, calf mainly but also my arm and sometimes my head. ER said these warm sensations are nothing to worry about and go home. Ectopic beats, could this be EBV or the parasite, I did a 6 month parasite protocol Still have Blastocystis hominis. But because I got 80% better, was it really ever the parasite as a lot of people I spoke to said it is super bad. But I could never get rid of it with taking very targeted supplements like everything in your parasite protocol and also a 10 day course of a compounded anti parasitic antibiotic.  I feel my heart beat generally all over my body, very heavy at times especially when I do something active, I think the main issue is that I can feel it. I've been through 2 cardioligist and they say everything is normal and fine and benign ectopics. This is the main issue I want to get rid of.  Still fatigue and bodily sensations remain too.  I WAS 80 percent better, but now about 50% better.  Surely after 12 months of clean eating, protocols left right and centre, targeted supplements to go along with my results, I would be feeling the needle move forward and not backwards.  What am I missing here? Thank you Dr Cabral

 

Joy: Hello Dr Cabral, my question/concern is related to pancreatic insufficiency. After years of being treated for CBO then SIBO, plus ongoing treatment for past trauma and still no improvement, actually feeling worse with more bloating and gas my gastroenterologist did more stool testing. The results showed pancreatic insufficiency. I am told the only way to treat this is by taking the prescription digestive enzymes. I was also told just take the enzymes and I’ll be fine, that I should be able to eat what I want. I have been taking the enzymes for over a month now and still experiencing bloating and gas, although much better than before taking them. Are taking the enzymes the only answer? There must be other things I can do I support my system? Thank you for your help! Thank you for all you do!

 

Joan: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m addicted to your podcasts. :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us for free!! My question: I know you said something to the effect that anything that’s wrong with the body can be fixed or reversed, but does that pertain to mental issues as well? I’m 57 and have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I’ve been taking SSRIs for 30 years. I’m worried that there will be poor long-term side effects. I’m also afraid to wean off them because I’ve tried that and it wasn’t pretty. Thank you for your help! Joan

 

Thomas: What would you do about a high AG ratio? My Albumin has been high for two years in a row, and this year my globalin level got closer to the bottom of the range triggering a high A/G ratio. I do the quarterly Dr. Cabral detox and typically add in the blueberries and sweet potatoes day 3 since I’m apt to losing weight. You are the GOAT - thank you for leading the way to better health around the world!

Dec 3, 2022

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: 

 

Heather: Hi, me again! I also had a quick question about the natural flavors listed on the ingredient list for the Daily Fruit and Vegetable powder. What is it? I was under the impression that natural flavors are just another word for artificial flavors but I doubt you would put that in any of your products. Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions!

 

Amal: Hi Dr Cabral, I've been diagnosed with an inflammatory eye condition called Uveitis in my left eye. Doctors have not looked into what's causing it but I think it is autoimmune. I also seem to have something called lipedema. Everytime I try to detox my body, it will accelerate the inflammation in my eye, causing further damage to the eye. I tried to take iodine and it would help my eye but cause me to rapid fat gain everywhere. I then tried N acetyl cysteine and the same rapid weight gain but it would lower inflammation in the eye and clear my vision. Then I tried chlorella and spirulina and I would feel coolness in my eyes in 10 mins and it would clear my floaters, inflammation and improve vision. However I will gain a lot of body fat within 2 days of taking the chlorella & spirulina. I came across gynostemma herbal tea and I started losing weight within days but my eye would start hurting and I could also feel weakness in my right eye. I'm not sure what to do. I cant lose the weight without hurting my eye and I can't detox my liver or the rest of my body without gaining weight. My hair has become damaged and dry and I have developed a lot of cellulite on my legs and excess fat around my ankles and everywhere else. I am trying to work on gut health Any advice would be helpful. 

 

Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I would love to get your opinion about inducing period with prescription drugs. I lost my periods a while ago, but I'm only 38 so probably too early to be menopausal. 4 years ago I was pregnant and then was breastfeeding my baby for a while. It's been about 2 years since I stopped breastfeeding, but my cycles don't want to return. After having my baby I developed gut issues. Later I also found out I have hypothyroidism and Hashimoto. I've been addressing both. Overall I feel now much better and stronger comparing to where I was a year ago (thanks to moving to a new house and thanks to your protocols. I've done para pro and currently I'm in the muddle of CBO protocol) I should mention that I am underweight (BMI: 16.2) Since I've been feeling better recently, do you think I could now "induce" my period with a medication? Or do you think I should still wait longer until my body decides it's time. I'm not sure if it's good for me to be that long without cycles. I often hear from other women that once first period is induced, next ones come on their own. I tried Vitex in the past but stopped because I didn't feel well taking it. Thank you so much for your answer. I'm forever thankful for all your help. 

 

Paula: Can you do a podcast on adolescent sports medicine or adolescent sports nutrition? Thanks.

 

Lynn: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’ve enjoyed your podcast for years now, thank you for such great content. Recently I was diagnosed with posterior vitreous detachment by my optometrist. What would you suggest? Thank you so much Lynn 

 

Zak: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been looking at taking NMN together with Trans Resveratrol however am concerned about any implications these 2 supplements may have on Hashimotos which I have. I have read a pubmed study suggesting that TSH may increase and that NMN is an antagonist to thyroid hormones? I would love to take NMN for all the benefits mentioned in your previous podcast however have reservations. Are you a able to shed some light on the effects NMN may have on the thyroid in particular Hashimotos? Thanks so much for all your insightful material. Zak

Did you know that 1 out of 5 women are experiencing symptoms of functionally low thyroid?

 

Conventional medicine will tell us that anyone between the range of .5-5 is considered healthy and would not be regarded as having low thyroid or Hashimoto’s.

 

But in reality, the optimal range is .5-2 and those who are outside of this range might be experiencing symptoms that occur with a functionally low thyroid.

 

So on today’s #CabralConcept 2490 I want to see if you have any of these hypothyroidism symptoms + the low thyroid signs to look out for so you can determine if you might be experiencing functionally low thyroid - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

How often do we go about our day-to-day life just going through the motions and getting things done…

 

Do we ever stop and think about what is going on in the present moment and how we would change things if that was the last time we were able to do them?

 

While some might feel this is a morbid outlook on life, I tend to think that it provides a way to truly enjoy your life and be at peace in the present state.

 

I invite you to join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2488 where we talk about how you can change your frame of reference and stay present in every moment to live life to the fullest - 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…

 

Donna: Hi Dr Cabral! I was recently diagnosed with a renal AML of 1.3cms and focal nodular neoplasm on my liver was noticed on my ultrasound. I need to now do an MRI to further investigate. I can’t find any archived podcasts on these issues. Some background info: I was on “Yas” birth control pill for 8 years from 14-22 years old, and in the last 2 years I took antibiotics 8 times for UTIs. I’m someone who normally NEVER takes medication. I eat well, don’t drink or smoke, but I’ve undergone a lot of stress since becoming a mom 4 years ago and feel like it’s been since that time that my health has started to deteriorate as I try to juggle motherhood with running my own growing business. I’ll be running the big 5 labs in 2 weeks, as I’m convinced they will shed more light on my health. Any input from you would help! Will these tumors ever go away in your experience? Thank you so much, I value your consideration and time!

 

Maria: Hi Dr Cabral! I would love to hear your thoughts on lecithin as a supplement. Do you recommend it? If so, how does it support the body and what benefits are there? I've heard it connected to cognitive functions, nerves, skin, cholesterol etc. Could it be helpful for someone who has signs of dementia? What about when there's loss of sensitivity, tingling and numbness in lower parts of the legs and feet? Or is there anyone is particular that is at risk of being low in lecithin? Many many thanks for all you do, your podcast is like my encyclopedia on all health related matters.

 

Jesseca: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for all of the education you share. I’ve learned so much from you and am so grateful to have resources like yours to empower myself and my family to live happy, healthy lives. I have two separate questions that I asked in the Facebook support group, and they don’t appear to have been answered before: 1) What is your opinion on chemical peels and products like retinol as part of a regular skin care routine? As I understand it, both make your skin very sensitive to the sun (requiring very diligent SPF application), which raises some red flags for me. What do you think? 2) What is your opinion on using mushrooms like lions mane, chaga, and cordyceps while pregnant? I’m planning on getting pregnant in the next year and am thinking about how to replace my morning coffee. When I’ve decided to give up caffeine in the past, I found mushrooms like this (e.g. FourSigmatic’s functional creamer) to work really well as an alternative. I know you recommend reducing herbs while pregnant. Would mushrooms like this fall in the same category? Thank you! Jesseca

 

Tina: You are amazing, and thanks for all you do! My 13-year-old son was just diagnosed with severe swelling in his sinuses, a deviated septum, and sinus polyps. I have him on daily omegas, daily activated mullti, periodic balanced zinc, daily probiotic, 3 HistPro 2 X per day, and I just ordered the alkalizing vitamin c (all Equilife products). I was forced to start him on Flonase, but I also have him on the nutribiotic GSE nasal spray. They want to do surgery, but they agreed to see if his nose improved after three months on the Flonase. So, three questions: 1-How much alkalizing vitamin c should he take? 2- Is it fine to keep him on all of these other things, and for how long? 3-Is there anything else I could be doing before this follow-up visit to help him so that his nose improves and they don't want to push us into the surgery? He's just over 100 pounds and very fit and active. He has all of the seasonal allergies and allergies to peanuts, tree-nuts, and sesame. I know it will take a while for you to answer, and I did ask on Facebook as well, but I know this will be an ongoing issue, so I wanted to get your opinion since I really value it.

 

Jackie: My practitioner has recommended the Candida and Bacterial Optimizer (CBO) protocol. He is not an expert on Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, however. He has noted that my good bacteria diversity is really low. I have been on antibiotics and antimicrobials for 10 months to combat my SIBO. So far, no luck. My hydrogen level remains elevated. My question is this. Is this particular protocol good to disrupt established and tough biofilms? Or is this protocol better for someone who would be using this protocol as a first round against SIBO? Has it ever been used with success on SIBO patients who had tough biofilms to break down? Finally, is there a reason why EDTA is not included in the biofilm buster formula?

 

Ales: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have a question regarding earth probiotic strains like B.coagulus, B.clausii, B.subtilis. Lately, I have seen many products of these particular strains being used, especially in combination with botanicals and biofilm removers to help with SIBO. Is there any real evidence regarding soil based probiotics or you aren't convinced of their efficacy? With SIBO or in general?

 

Ales: Hello Dr. Cabral, in my last question I forgot to add that I work in a functional medicine clinic, where we analyse gut microbiom. We see very often low counts of akkermansia muciniphila, which is critical for healthy gut barrier. Soil based probiotics are suppose to indirectly increase akkermansia.

The best way to help me spread our mission of true natural health is to pass on the good word, and I read and appreciate every review!

Nov 26, 2022

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: 

 

Eilise: Hello Dr. Cabral, My 9 year old daughter has suffered greatly most of her life from chronic stomach pains, switching between constipation and diarrhea. She has Hyper mobility in her arms and hips, has cold hands, often feels itchy without there being any visible rash. Has very bad eyesight, thin, brittle, slow growing hair and can’t gain weight. She is 40th percentile in height and 2 percentile in weight. I’ve been on a wait list to see a geneticist for possible ehlers-Danlos syndrome. It seems very likely that she has ehlers-Danlos and possibly some accompanying issues. We eat organic and gluten free, grass fed beef, Ive tried giving her liver capsules, omega 3’s, cod liver oil, digestive enzymes, and even c60 to try and help get her as much nutrients as possible but she goes through periods of time where her stomach hurts so much she can’t take them. I desperately need help to figure out what I am missing to relieve her pain and help her be able to improve her digestion and absorption of food so she can heal. Do you have recommendations for how to manage the symptoms of ehlers Danlos to improve her quality of life? Thank you for all the work you’ve done to help people in need. Looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Eilise 

 

Anna: Hello Dr. Cabral, I´ve just read your book and I thought it was very interesting and eyeopening. My son is 20 years old, we live in Holland, and he was born pre-mature and dismature. He´s had an eatingproblem the first 3 years and a lot of ear infections. He now wears hearing aids. I also recognised myself in your comments that you felt you never got answers at the several hospitals. My son, first discovered when he was four years old, has also numerous calcifications in his muscles. He is fairly healthy, can do sports, but it does trouble him and the calfifications in his feet are often inflamed if he does too much. Up to now, they only take blood tests, urine tests and occasional photo's. They haven´t seen a simmilar case in Holland and I find it difficult they can tell me so little. Can these calsifications be auto-immune related? Do you have any idea what could cause them? Thank you for now for all I´ve learned up to this point.

 

Carl: I have a sluggish (low) metabolism. Every morning I wake up feeling shaky. My morning blood sugar can be anywhere between 85-115. My morning blood pressure is 150's/100's. As the day goes on, it gets better. Every time I try to go on a diet and cut out the crap (mostly carbs) I feel shaky all day and the blood pressure stays elevated all day. even though blood sugar is fine. I realize this is most likely a Cortisol issue. I do have Candida issues/through lab testing. How can I get enough good carbs to lose weight, yet keep my metabolism up, BP low and keep Cortisol normal? Thanks, Carl

 

Tiffany: Hello Dr. Cabral. I am a daily listener to your podcast as I try to incorporate what I can into better healthy lifestyle for me and my family. We really appreciate it. My son is 16 and we started noticing that one of his hands shakes. I was distracted by it the other day as he was talking to me so it is noticeable. He is a healthy strong guy (6ft tall). Does pole vaulting and lifts and cardio. Not anxious or really stressed. Eats fairly good. He does not eat a lot of sugar or sweets. Can you give me some ideas to look at to help him with this? I’m not sure where to start for him. It has been going on for several months but seems to be getting more noticeable. Thanks so much

 

Joesph: I’ll try to make the long story as short as possible: my wife has well controlled diabetes, however in the past five years she has developed complete numbness in her feet, calves, and it has now spread to her hands. Additionally, she has nearly constant muscle fasciculations, with occasional painful cramping. We know it’s demyelination but no one knows why it’s occurring. She has had every test available and everything shows she is the picture of health (aside from diabetes). She has had tests for tropical disease, other exotic diseases, genetic testing, you name it she had the test. She’s even been to the Cleveland Clinic multiple times. Recently she had a spinal tap which also showed nothing wrong; however, it did show 3 oligoclonal bands found in both the cerebral spinal fluid and the serum. Analysis of this was basically “something autoimmune”. On a side note, her spleen occassionaly swells so much you can see it pushing against her skin. We are at our wits end, and she has said that she’s not doing anything else, she’s been through enough. Can you help us try to find the right path to heal her?

 

Jade: Hi. Dr Cabral. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us. Truly a blessing! I am 57 years old. I have fibromyalgia, IBS, silent reflux and Gilbert’s syndrome. I suffer daily with chronic fatigue, severe stomache issues (everything I eat hurts my stomache…gas, bloating, cramping, and loose stools) anxiety, whole body pain and trouble sleeping. Oh, and my cholesterol is high. I’ve also had EBV in the past. I’m always in fight or flight mode. I worked full time for 30 years in a very stressful workplace and I’ve always felt drained. I have gone though a lot of emotional trauma in the last few months. Which has made everything worse. I do eat very clean and healthy. No processed junk at all. Everything’s organic. I pray and meditate daily. I walk when I’m not in a flare up and I do yoga. CBD oil seems to help but I’m not sure if that will cause more problems with the Gilbert’s so I’ve stopped it until I know if it’s ok to continue with it. What do you suggest for me? I can’t afford your 1 on 1 consultations but I will do whatever else you recommend. Thank you to you and your team for all that you do!!!

I believe we are doing a disservice to people if we don’t discuss healthy body weight…

 

I am not approaching this from a vanity point of view but instead looking at it from a science-backed perspective that tells us that obesity can take years from a person’s life and disrupt their quality of living.

 

Today I want to share with you what the top health institutes say are the main factors that cause people to gain weight or have a hard time taking off weight and remind you that all of this can be reversed.

 

So join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2483 where we talk about the research behind the 4 “Obesogenic Factors” making you fat and what you can do to reduce your risk for obesity and optimize your mind and body- Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!

Often times we wait longer than we should in order to make a decision that could change the trajectory of our life…

 

Sometimes we’re waiting for more information, a vacation to pass, or just “a little while longer” before going after our dreams…

 

The problem is that “tomorrow never comes” and we can wait too long and miss the opportunity that awaits us right now…

 

To learn more about rewiring your mindset for success join me on today’s #CabralConcept 2481 to find out if you are waiting (too long) for the perfect plan and I’ll also share with you my thoughts on how to get started on implementing the best plan for success - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!

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

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

 

Jade: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all that you do for all of us. You’re a true blessing! I have Gilbert’s Syndrome and fibromyalgia. I have horrible stomache issues and all over body pain. I use CBD oil for sleeping and for the body pain. Am I putting more strain on my liver with the CBD oil? Am I causing more damage? I also drink fermented drinks and eat fermented foods. Is this good for Gilbert’s? My bilirubin has been 1.8 for the last 2 years.I’ve gone though a lot of stress and emotional grief. I’m thinking this caused my bilirubin to be higher then before which was around 1.3. Thank you for your time. Blessings!

 

Tiffany: Hello Dr. Cabral I was diagnosed with vertical heterophoria a couple of years ago. Even with corrective lenses it still affects me when I drive on the freeway and the dizziness makes me feel very anxious. It has only gotten worse over the years. What can I do if anything to find the root cause of this or at least relieve my symptoms. It has gotten so bad that sometimes I have to just pull over for a few minutes because of the anxiety. Thanks so much for all the great information. I listen daily!

 

Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been listening to your podcasts for 2 years. Thank you for you for sharing your vast amount of knowledge with your community. My question is regarding my 7 year old son. After a long journey we have finally been diagnosed with Non Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia which has put his body into early puberty. For this he has been put on Hydrocortisone. After 3 months of taking hydrocortisone his hormone levels are finally dropping. This was great news except for the fact after my request to check his A1C verified he is prediabetic. Now I am at a loss. Do you have any tips for me or know of any good resources? My goal will be to focus on his nutrition as much as possible, as that is something we can control. I often think of you and your journey back to health. I know how intimidating this feels to me I can only imagine how you felt. Thank you for your time and knowledge.

 

Jamie: Hi Dr Cabral, I was wondering if there is a difference between stomach bloat and lower belly bloat (under belly button) bloat. I sometimes find that while my upper stomach seems not bloated, I have severe bloat in my lower belly, even first thing in the morning. This bloat doesn’t budge with ginger and other natural remedies (or even may still be there after defacation) What are the differences and what may cause lower belly bloat vs upper belly bloat?

 

Holly: Hi Dr. C, hope you're well? I have one daily vice - coffee! Yes it's organic and the second is a swiss water processed decaf :) HOWEVER I'm a latte drinker and do not enjoy the taste of any of the nut milks in coffee. My go to has been Oat milk however it contains veg oils that i know are not good. My question is, would i be better off with cows milk vs. oat milk with oils? Which is the lesser of two evils? Thanks, Holly

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: 

 

Tara: Hello, My name is Tara and I’ve had stomach issues my whole life. Everyone said it was just a stress stomach. Within the last 6 weeks I was introduce to a natural path doctor who has brought this stomach issue of mine to a head. She believes I have Biofilm. I have tried researching this and cannot find many people speaking about it. My doctor and I have started a plan on how to tackle it but curious if Dr Cabral has dived into this as well? I have been eating great and taking top of the line suppliments and test I am still deficient in all B’s, D, C , folate, etc. I resonate with so many of these podcasts and yet I have not heard anything on this issue of biofilm. I am just curious if Dr Cabral has any insight on this topic. Thank you

 

Meagan: Hello Dr. CABRAL! I think I may have heard you mention palate expanders on one of your episodes discussing mouth breathing. Can you expand on that a bit? I'm debating getting one for my 7 year old daughter but want to weigh the pros and cons. Thank you!!

 

Bailey: I have a 12 month old who has a dairy allergy. I completely avoided dairy & gluten when I was breastfeeding her due to colic and digestive issues. I started her on raw goats milk after nursing, she wasn't a fan.. so she drinks raw cows milk. I plan to switch to nut milk / only water once she is getting more calories and fat from food. One day we ran out of milk, so I gave her some store bought whole milk (temporarily), she developed digestive pain, and hives shortly after. The hives have lasted almost a week now, I know dairy takes a long time to leave the system. I feel like I did everything right with her. She was born vaginally, is unvaccinated, she has never been on antibiotics, she took a probiotic with her breastmilk the whole year she breastfed, dairy wasn't introduced to her till 12 months, we live in the country without a ton of environmental toxins, yet she has this allergy. I myself have always been sensitive to dairy, so my guess is genetics. My question is, what is the bottom line.. what is the ROOT cause of so many childhood food allergies? & Why do we "out-grow" them? This is becoming such a norm.

 

Jessica: Hi Doctor Cabral! Thank you for being a source of well-studied information on all things health and wellness. I have been looking into the iodine controversy and whether or not iodine is beneficial or harmful for thyroid patients, specifically Hashimoto's. There is research on how going on a low-iodine food diet along with no supplemental iodine in any form with support the thyroid in healing from Hashimoto's. I have heard strong views from both sides, and I am hoping to get your view on the topic and how you would approach this subject in the helping of a family member.

 

Kasia: Hi Dr. Cabral, Hope this email finds you well. I watched your video about Serrapeptase enzyme. Thank you so much for the detailed informative and useful information. I have silicone breast implants. I have purchased the Serrapeptase product for my chronic nose sinus, but I am concerned it might deteriorate the capsule that naturally form around the a breast implants. I’ve read on line it eats non-living living tissues; including scar tissue and maybe capsule. Others note, it should be fine to use for someone with breast implants. Do you know if taking the enzyme Serrapeptase, can be taken by someone with breast implants? Do you know of women with breast implants, who have been taking it? What’s their feedback? For the past 3-4 weeks, I have been taking a daily therapautic dose of about 120,000SPU. I have noticed my breast fat has slightly reduced. I don't know if it's because of the Serrapeptase, or the intermittend fasting I have started at the same time. I appreciate your input, and advise.

 

Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I was wondering what can be the cause (and possible solution) for hirsutism, particularly if blood sugar levels are well managed, my periods are regular and I am not overweight. In the past I used the birth control pill for 7 years. I got off, had my two kids, had a chin hair here and there, but now, 2.5 years later after having my second child, I have a full-blown highly undesired situation happening on my chin and around a little the nipples. It’s been at least a year and it’s only getting worse. I’ve used a CGM for several months for the sake of research and investigation, and my blood sugar levels appear very well managed. I don’t drink alcohol or coffee, nor do I smoke. I have no known health conditions. But I’m stressed and don’t sleep super well. When I tested a cycle mapping of my hormones (Dutch test), my testosterone, estrogen and progesterone levels were fine BUT my adrenal glands might just hate me. Both free cortisol and cortisone were VERY low (possible due to a prolonged period of stress) while Etiocholanolone & Androsterone were both super high. I have no cysts on my ovaries and my periods are quite regular so I don’t feel like it would be PCOS either. Please please please… help a sister out! Thank you for all that you do.

Heavy metal toxicity can be the root cause for a variety of gut-based and auto-immune issues…

 

Unfortunately, our drinking water can be a primary source for contamination, but heavy metals such as aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury can be accumulated from a wide variety of common foods, products, and environmental factors…

 

Once exposed, heavy metals can wreak havoc on our gut health and create inflammation that leads to a whole host of issues, which only later get diagnosed as a dis-ease…

 

So on today’s #CabralConcept 2477 I want to share with you how heavy metals affect your digestion, gut & auto-immune issues and how you can reduce your exposure to them - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!

Did you know the low-carb diet dates back to 776 B.C.?

 

This way of eating has been around for centuries and continues to resurface again and again with a different name and slightly different take.

 

One thing that remains the same, however, the low-carb diet is a trend that while successful in the short term, may cause health issues when taken too far…

 

So on today’s #CabralConcept 2476, I want to go over the history of low-carb diets, why they started, and what modern-day science says about them - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions!

I believe our job in life is to live to our greatest potential…

 

Because when we do, we become the best versions of ourselves and are able to serve others to the highest degree.

 

But many of us struggle with inner voices that seek the approval of others and strive to impress those around us.

 

If we are able to quit those voices, whoever, we unlock our ability to rewire our subconscious mind and be, do and have anything we set our minds to.

 

So on today’s #CabralConcept 2474 I want to share with you 7 specific ways on how to care less about what other people think so you can quiet that inner dialog and do more with your life – Enjoy the show 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…

 

Janice: Dear Dr Cabral I’m very proud and honoured to be a part of the IHP2M community. What you have contributed to the world is amazing and I aspire to help many like you do. I would like to ask about your input about Bone Marrow Donations. Searches did not seem to come up. I understand there are 2 methods of donation, the traditional method is collection from pelvic bone under GA and takes about 40min. The other option is Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) where the donor will be given Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) injections over 5 days leading up to the donations to increase stem cells in the body. Blood is collecting from one arm and passed through a machine that extracts the blood stem cells and returns all remaining blood through the other arm. This takes 5-7hours. May I have your thoughts on this. Is there any major impact to the donors health? I would really like to know what is your take on this from a health perspective! Thank you!

 

Chelsea: Hello Dr. Cabral! When seed cycling, can I to eat tahini + sunflower seeds during the pumpkin/flax phase? Or will this offset the benefits due opposing hormonal effects of the seeds? I eat a lot of tahini in sauces and as a source of fat and find it hard to plan meals without it

 

Maria: Hello Dr. Thank you so much for all that you do. You are so awesome and I am enjoying listening to all your podcast. I had a question about the monkey pox. What can someone do to give themselves the best immune system for if and when you were to get the monkey pox

 

Samantha: I love your DNS powder! However I just realized that it contains iodine and I have hashimotos. Would you consider making a version without iodine for all of your customers that also have thyroid complications?? Thank you

 

Amy: Hi Dr Cabral. Love the podcast and appreciate your wealth of knowledge. My question is one I've wondered about for many years. I tend to sip on drinks for a couple of hours. By drinks, it could be a protein shake, coffee with a bit of heavy cream, coffee with protein added, etc. More than just a glass of water. Am I doing a disservice to my digestion by doing this? Would it be better to consume beverages like this within 30 or so minutes? Thanks for the help :

 

Hayley: Hi, Dr. Cabral. I’ve recently tried starting yoga but I really struggle with any downward poses. I feel like so much pressure builds up in my head and neck, and my heart beat seems to pound in my head. Is this normal, and any suggestions for improving?

 

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: 

 

Maria: Hello and thank you for all you do. I'm really enjoying listening to all your podcasts and have gotten really good at searching for things. I wanted to know if you can recommend a brand of ox bile. I looked and looked and can't find a brand that you would recommend. And I'm sorry if it's there but I can't find it. Can you give me a recommendation.

 

Maria: Hi Dr. Cabral, I first want to say that I love your podcast and its been a huge inspiration for me to move from conventional medicine to integrative medicine which is my true calling. I would love to here more about your ideas on V shot for children and what parents should be considering as far as benefits and risks. Again, such a fantastic resource for everyone, Thanks!

 

Lauren: Hello! I'm wondering what your thoughts are around endometriosis. I had laparoscopic surgery about a year ago and although my periods are not excruciating anymore, they are still painful (meaning I am still relying on pain killers and needing time off work), despite the endometriosis being removed. My gynaecologist's solution is to go on the birth control pill or IUD but that doesn't sit right with me. Why would I still be in pain if the cause of the pain has been removed? Every practitioner has a different view on the reason but despite doing it all (acupuncture, chiro, naturopath, mayan massage, chinese medicine, pelvic physiotherapist...etc), I am yet to find anything that truly helps my symptoms. I am feeling very hopeless and find it hard to trust even holistic practitioners as they have mostly just recommended supplements with a 'see what sticks' mentality - leaving me frustrated and out of pocket hundreds of $$! I suppose I'd like to know what the root cause of endo is and how can start my journey of truly healing myself? Thank you in advance! 

 

Brittany: Hi Dr. Cabral! Can you talk a little about skin petechiae? I have a few small red dots (not close together) on my stomach that my doctor has more or less said not to worry about. They’ve been there for a few years (I noticed them after birthing my second child but that doesn’t mean they weren’t present beforehand) and haven’t changed. I’m not really concerned but I do feel like it’s a reflection of something internally. Any thoughts?

 

Stormy: I have always worked out five days a week and I walk 20,000 steps on the weekends. I am 48 years old and I have done the 16/8 for three weeks. Started losing when I increased my protein and decreased my carbs (during 3rd week). I lost three pounds. I do not want to lose more then 10 pounds. I weigh 143 and I am 5'2. I have always been blessed with muscles. My calorie intake is 1600-2000 a day. I had bloating issues and they are gone. I want to remain healthy, what do you suggest would be the best eating plan? I also do not want to mess with my hormones or muscle mass.

 

Danika: Hi Doc, been learning from you for a few years now. I’m 29 years old (prob 30 by the time you read this). When I was 9 years old I first put on a little weight to have what you call “cortisol belly,” skinny arms and legs, just that hormonal pudge. Chronic pain in my low back & left hip set in at age 11. Depression, fatigue, anxiety all through school years. Was active playing water sports (I’m sure 10 years of daily chlorine did not help my thyroid) but was always tired. My menstrual periods have always been INTENSE with such bad cramping that I’m out of service from 3-6 days a month, sometimes 10! I’ve been on my healing journey for about 4 years now. I have improved. I’m currently detoxing aluminum that I saw on your HTMA lab I took, I had the 4 high pattern. I also took a salivary hormone lab and my cortisol throughout the day was extremely low, and my Estrogen 3 (estriol) was high. I’m also having a lot of anxiety. I’ve hit a point where my own body is confusing me! I’m fatigued and feel exhausted w/ my body barely producing any cortisol, yet still having panic attacks that sometimes feel like heart attacks. My body is tired, my periods wreck me, I seem to catch every sinus infection going around, & this extra layer of body fat is so hard to get rid of. Help!
