3130: Cooking with Oil, Magnesium & Motility, Hot Flashes After Eating, Binaural Beat Speakers, Receding Gums (HouseCall) 0
Aug 31, 2024

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: Hi, I’ve listened to lots of your podcasts on oils, which are ok to cook with, which shouldn’t be heated. I posted a comment about it online & got a lot of heat from someone saying seed oils are not unhealthy... they sent me 30 PubMed research done on people (not animals) also concluding they are not so bad, especially sunflower oil. Their explanation: Heating won't be an issue. Canola, sunflower and rapeseed have some of the highest smoke points (400-450 F), yes they produce polar compounds when overheated, but the lesson there is to simply not overheat them. On a household stove, this really isn't a problem. As for the whole processing thing, doesn't matter either. During the refining process, seed oils are heated to a temp that drives off volatile compounds (steam distillation, it drives off aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, short chain fatty acids), which makes the oils MORE stable. That's why refined oils have higher smoke points and a longer shelf life than their unrefined counterparts. And that temp that the oils are heated to is lower than the temp necessary to oxidize the oil. As for hexane, we've been using since the 30s, and there's no evidence to substantiate any risk/danger to our health when trace amounts are ingested. Refined oils extracted with hexane contain < 1 ppm of residual hexane. Filling your car with gas or using quick-drying glues give you loads more. Seed oils being dangerous is an unfounded and Seed oils being dangerous is an unfounded and insanely pervasive myth in nutrition, and it leads people to have food phobias and reach for tallow and butter (WAY worse, for a variety of reasons). This is what they said, a registered dietitian, citing 30 PubMed studies and when I wanted to send them your research from your shownotes, I couldn’t find anything on this scale.. could you please link the research you cite so we can actually substantiate why seed oils are unhealthy to cook with and which? Is sunflower oil ok to consume when unheated and organic? Thank you for being amazing! 
 
 
Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I recently heard that taking laxatives for over a year can cause nerve damage to parts of the GI. I wanted to ask if Magnesium also carries this risk, particularly oxygenated magnesium like Oxypowder or Mag07? Ive been taking Oxygenated Magnesium everyday since 2020 as its helpful and I seem to have some difficulty going without that. I had a hyperparathyroidectomy for hyperparathyroidism in July 2023. I believe my motility or peristalsis was impacted since atleast 2020, as such a disease can take years to manifest. I find that my motility has improved some since, but not enough for me to discontinue the Magnesium. I often times combine 2 capsules Oxypowder with 1 capsule of Equilifes Full Spectrum Magnsium every night. Even with this, I often times do not get complete evac.
 
 
Lee: Hi Dr C. Im male an I often times get what feels like hotflashes almost immediately after eating. It feels like the body wants to get rid of whatever I just ate, right away. My Testosterone levels are at over 700 when I had them checked, so I dont think its low T. It seems like a histamine response thats often accompanied my heart burn and upper GI pain and discomfort. I do take quercetin and histapro, but I might only get relief from the hotflashes for short time. When I press against my stomach (right below the sternum) and take deep breaths, I can make my stomach gurgle. Its pretty loud and can do it consistently. Is that normal? Sometimes I get a bit of pain relief doing this, but it may only last a few seconds before the usual discomfort returns. This discomfort is there 24/7. Thanks
 
 
 
Lara: Hi, I noticed you listed Wholetones in your resources page as your Binaural Beats go-to.. I understood that you need to listen to those over headphones for best results but Wholetones offers speakers with prerecorded music in specific frequencies.. could you please explain how it works and if it is better with this speaker or over headphones? Also, can you provide any free binaural beats resources that work? I would think probably not from youtube, but I could be wrong? Thank you for your explanation and help, you’re amazing!
 
 
Anonymous: Hello, I’ve always had achy teeth, receding gums & lots of problems. Now it looks like my enamel has “chipped off” on the tops of the teeth, next to the gums - before you could just see some of the roots because of the receding gums but now there’s a lot of it and it’s darker than the rest of the teeth (I eat a lot of blueberries). I don’t remember if you ever said whether electric toothbrushes are ok or not and what would you recommend for this problem? Thanks in advance

3124: Sjogren’s Syndrome, GLP-1 & Muscle Loss, Hydrocortisone & Addison’s, Meat vs. Plant Diet, Air Filters, Idiopathic Cervical Dystonia (HouseCall) 0
Aug 25, 2024

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…

 

Joanna: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope this message finds you well and you're enjoying a beautiful summer! I've got two totally unrelated questions that I would love to get your take on: 1. Could you quickly explain what Sjorgren's syndrome is in your words, what could be causing it or what tests would help to find that out and what you would recommend if someone in your family suffered from that? 2. Could you see the drug industry investing more research into things like myostatin-inhibitors again to counteract the risks of muscle loss for people using GLP-1 agonists? Thanks for everything you do! Johann 
 
 
Michael: Hey Steven, I haven’t messaged in a long time I still have primary Addisons disease and take the regular hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone daily. I’m just after having an emergency shot of hydrocortisone because I have a gastro bug and I want to recover quickly. Have you any tips on this please? Just so tired of being scared to get sick with this illness.
 
 
Lisa: Does meat cause cancer specially like prostate cancer or any other cancer? Can you use diet to stop it without treatment? WIll a whole food plant base diet help it? Is it possible to get colon cancer within 2 years of having colonoscopy? Will a ct scan show it or pet scan?
 
 
Mindy: Hi! I enjoy listening to your podcast each day and really trust your advice. I was wondering if you've heard of or looked into the Jaspr air filter? It's more expensive than the air doctor and I'm wondering if it is really effective and worth the price. Thanks for all you do!
 
 
Pip: Hi Dr Cabral. I’m 35 and have been diagnosed with idiopathic cervical dystonia tremor. I’ve had it on and off for about ten years however this year it has got considerably worse and affects me daily in activities. The neurologist has referred me to another neurologist specialising in dystonia who will inject Botox into my neck muscle to relax it and stop the tremor. This is a three monthly treatment for the rest of my life. Apparently there is no cure but I’d like to think there is SOMETHING natural / alternative I can do to stop or reduce the tremor. I’d love to hear your suggestions? Thank you. Pip

3123: Bile Stone Flush, Calendars & Scheduling, Airport Water, DNS & Bloating, Spicy Food (HouseCall) 0
Aug 24, 2024

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: 

 

Luis: Hi Dr Cabral, I wanted to ask what your thoughts are on the liver and gallbladder flush solution resulting in the expulsion of soap stones rather than gall stones. There are other doctors on YouTube claiming that you expel the lemon juice and olive oil mixture rather than gall stones. Their argument is that fat plus alkaline solution results in soap. I don't agree with this but I have done 8 flushes over the course of a few years and have not experienced much benefit. I still have quite a few gi issues that I'm still working to resolve. Thanks.
 
 
Taras: Hi Dr., Thanks for the great podcasts. I like your idea of switching from todo list towards calendar. What calendar tools, apps, methods are you using Thanks,
 
 
Amanda: Hi doctor Cabral, With holiday travel coming up and limited package options at the airports, if you had to choose between water from a plastic bottle or no water at all, which would you prefer? Thanks! Amanda
 
 
Anonymous: Hello Dr Cabral. I love the DNS for its nutritional make up and complete vitamins and minerals, but it gives me bloating. I am certain that this is caused by the DNS because if I discontinue it the symptoms go away. My guess is that it is due to the pea protein since I don’t digest legumes well in general. Would you please speak to this and possibly recommend another similar product? I wish I could digest it but the symptoms and discomfort are not worth the gain. Would you ever make a DNS without pea protein, whey perhaps? Thanks
 
 
Oliver: Hi Dr Cabral, I have an issue with spicy food. Any time I eat spicy food it causes gut issues and diarrhoea. Any tips on what causing this and how to prevent it? I have searched previous podcasts and can only find questions around spice and acid reflux which is not an issue. I’m also lactose intolerant, not sure if that makes a difference but I know milk helps neutralise spice.

Aug 21, 2024

Aging powerfully is a choice...

 

As we get older, many people assume that the body will inevitably decline, and that the activities they once enjoyed are no longer possible. But it doesn’t have to be that way—you can live a healthy, active life well into your 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond!

 

On today’s episode, we’re excited to welcome JJ Virgin as our guest. JJ is a triple board-certified nutrition xxpert, author, podcast host, and an authority on not just aging gracefully, but aging powerfully.

 

JJ and I discuss what it takes to set yourself up for success as you age. We cover her top tips for health and longevity, how to build strength, muscle, and power, and what she believes are the key pillars for successful aging.

 

To learn more about how to be fit for life and the secrets to aging powerfully, join me on today’s episode of Cabral Concept 3120 with our guest, JJ Virgin. Enjoy the show, and let me know what you think!

3118: The 80/20 Rule for Success (Revisited) (MM) 0
Aug 19, 2024

One of the key lessons I've learned over the years is that having a long to-do list won't help you achieve your goals…

 

We have a limited capacity to focus at any given time, and trying to tackle too much at once can lead to overwhelm or burnout. 

 

Today, I want to discuss how focusing on just one or two key tasks can make a significant impact on your life and share what I've found to be the most effective way to approach this.

 

So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3118 as we explore this fresh take on the 80/20 rule and how you can use it to move closer to success in any area of your life. Enjoy the show, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

3117: Low Pancreatic Elastase, Tetanus, Detox Options, Vitality Tests, High Cholesterol & Berberine (HouseCall) 0
Aug 18, 2024

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…

 

Ali: Hello Dr.Cabral. Can you please explain low pancreatic elastase on stool test. I have no GI symptoms or diagnosed disease, but out of curiosity ran comprehensive stool analysis, where pancreatic enzymes were low, butyrate producing bacteria were low and a positive h.pylori was found. Can those two be related? What specific food & supplements can I take to increase pancreatic elastase when dealing with h.pylori? Also, what’s your stand on clostridium butyricum as a probiotic supplement to increase butyrate production?
Thank you
 
 
Patrick: Hey dr hope all is well. I know theres certain things you don’t like to talk about for certain reasons but i was wondering if you could give some information on getting a tetanus shot. Im 50 and know Its been a while since i have had one. Thanks keep up the great work
 
 
Lauren: (Product Review) have you heard of the sanctuary holistic wellness detox? Is it a good option for a detox? Is it normal to see parasites? Or is that too extreme of a detox?
 
 
Josh: Good Morning, Re-listening to latest mindpump episode with Dr Stephen Cabral 2332 and he mentions 10 vitality tests but only mentions one that I can find (A full body MRI). Looking to see what the complete list of 10 vitality tests are and if there is any content where this is posted to review. Thanks in advance for any info. Regards, Josh
 
 
Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a 63 year old female, not overweight, moderate exercise x3/week. High cholesterol runs in my family and mine’s been high since my twenties. I just got my bloods back and total cholesterol is 8.3, HDL 1.5 , LDL6.4, Triglycerides normal. Lipoprotein ratio is 0.89. I have always eaten high carb, lots of sugar. My doctor has insisted on putting me on Statins since an ultrasound of my carotic arteries shows minor very soft plaque, lining within normal limits. I have now cut out sugar and added more fish, meat eggs, Omega 3, magnesium and vitamin D. Now I’m worried that the increased protein especially meat and eggs will raise my cholesterol level further. Would Berberine help for cholesterol? I often have low blood sugar so does that matter? Many thanks in advance!
 

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!

3116: Stuck in Health Journey, Vagal Schwannoma, Sparkling Water & Bone Density, Burning Sensation, Sciatica Pain (HouseCall) 0
Aug 17, 2024

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: 

 

Molly: Hi doctor Cabral, I'm feeling a bit stuck in my health journey right now. I'm a 45-year old female. After undergoing several tests, I've discovered that I have low levels of DHEA, progesterone, and estrogen, as well as low thyroid function and dysbiosis. I'm struggling to figure out where to begin addressing these issues. It's unclear whether the dysbiosis is causing the hormonal imbalances, or if it's the other way around. Additionally, I'm not sure if stress might be contributing to all of these issues. I feel like I'm going in circles, and I would really appreciate any advice you may have on how to proceed. Thank you so much for your help! Molly
 
 
Laurie: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all your knowledge and generosity. You've made a big difference in my life! My question is, I found out I have a vagal schwannoma in my neck right next to the carotid bi-furcation. We have been watching it for 2.5 years with MRI's every 6 months. After slow growth we've decided I should just remove it and move on with my life. We looked into radiation as well, but for some reason, despite all the risks I face with this location being operated on, I'm leaning towards surgery. But I would really love to know what you would advise. Also, should I do the surgery which is scheduled for this summer, how would you suggest I prepare for the surgery and how are there certain things I should have ready to help heal from the surgery? Thank you so much for your advice.
 
 
Kristen: Are sparkling waters bad for our bones? I drink about 2 Spindrifts per day (in addition to plenty of plain water, small amounts of coffee in the morning, and tea several times per day). I was diagnosed with osteopenia so I need to be extra cautious. I’ve already made so many changes (including the decrease in coffee- just to name one of MANY). I really enjoy the sparking waters and do not want to take them out unnecessarily, but I worry their higher acidity is bad for my bones. From my understanding, there are not any solid ‘studies’ that show non-cola carbonated waters are linked with low bone density BUT rationally speaking, they probably do. Please tell me I’m wrong though! Thank you!
 
 
Zach: Since 2020-20221 (when I got sick) I have been having different sensations take place on my skin. It feels a penny is being heated up and pushed onto my skin making it feel like a burn or cold-water dripping. There are no visual marks on my skin when these take place. The sensation can show up anywhere from my arm, chest, leg, hand etc. and only stays in a spot for seconds. It doesn't hurt but is extremely annoying as this has been going on for a few years now. Do you have any idea what this is? I recently sent my test in as I purchased the big 5 and a consultation with Jenn.
 
 
Jessica: My mom has debilitating sciatica pain. She had an injury in her back 30 years ago where she twisted her back and pinched a nerve but the pain is only coming back terrible now … nothing is helping including acupuncture, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments etc. What do you recommend??
 
 
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!

3110: Parasite Protocol, Blood Flow in Hands, Breathing & Toxins, Period & Caloric Intake, Bicuspid Heart Valve Leakage (HouseCall) 0
Aug 11, 2024

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…

 

Laurie: Hi Dr. Cabral, First of all, thank you so much for all the information you provide. You’ve already helped me immensely! I saw a tiny tiny white worm in my stool and confirmed this with a stool test by my PCP. I tested positive for parasite or ova. I just ordered your para cleanse but I’m wondering if taking that 1 time will be enough. Should I be doing more? I heard a keto diet is helpful? Anything extra I should do? When should I retest? So surprised I saw this worm because I don’t feel I have any symptoms at the moment, no real bloating, constipation ( as long as I take Mg before bed), diarrhea, some sleep disturbance with waking in the night but since resolving my thyroid that’s improved, also haven’t had food poisoning in 13 yrs. I also eat very well and take garlic tablets.thanks!
 
 
Scott: Hello Dr. Cabral, my question is about blood flow. It seems it always happens in the warmer and hot months (in the cold too) but, when I keep my arms down by my side or, at least somewhat lower than my upper body, they get REALLY red. When I push into my skin the color turns natural skin color, than instantly turns red again. I can hold my arms above my head and the color ends up going back to normal. Blood pressure has always been good, I do get flushed in the face at times, but, my hands are always red. Also, the back of my arms (triceps) get red when my arms get warm like when I work out, or, the sun hits it. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you for all you do, you are a mentor sir!!!
 
 
Lynn: Hi Dr. Cabral - for the past 5 or 6 months, it feels like when I breath there are toxins in the air, but it doesn't matter where I am - home, work, outside. It's hard to explain, but it's almost like the air is heavy, or I'm breathing in dust spores. At first, I was thinking it was the furnace (like not filtering dust, etc.), but it's not on now, and again, it's not just at my house. Plus, I have a high quality air filter at home and work. When I go to bed, it almost feels somewhat difficult to breathe because of this sensation. I'm at a loss, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for all that you do!
 
 
Jackie: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for all that you and your team do you have me greatly. I have run Big 5 --> 21 FMD --> Heavy metal + Estrogen dom --> and now in CBO. Everything has gotten much better with my PMS and general health. The one lingering symptom I have is for 3 days before my menstural cycle my percieved caloric and carb needs go up drastically - I am a bottomless pit :) For context I eat 120-150g of carbs from fruit and veggies + 18ish% bf. I am trying to figure out what my body actually needs because I can't believe that it actually needs double. My blood sugar is usually between 4.7-5.2 in the morning.
 
 
Pete: Hi Dr C Thanks for everything you do I really appreciate you and all you have created. My question is about the bicuspid heart valve and the leakage. I have been ‘diagnosed’ as having severe leakage and a valve replacement is needed asap. I have no symptoms what so ever, I’m an in shape active 40yr old, surf and eat really well I listened to a previous house call and you said to follow a Mediterranean diet and foundational protocol level 2 or 3 Is there anything else you could recommend you would do ? Thanks again heart suit

3109: Feta Cheese, OS-01 Peptide & Skincare, Root Cause of High SHBG, Latent Herpes, Chronic Night Waking (HouseCall) 0
Aug 10, 2024

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: Hi Dr Cabral! I recently rediscovered feta cheese, and I love it , I guess I have some Mediterranean lineage. ;-) What’s your view point on Feta / Greek cheese from grass fed and grass finished sheep’s and goats? Ideally unpasteurized but I would like to hear your opinion on pasteurized as well. Something we can eat on a regular basis? ;-) I hope it’s a yes, lol. Or does it fit better into a flex meal? Thanks for the work you do. Wishing you a fantastic day! :-D
 
 
Heather: Hi Dr. Cabral, I purchased the OS-01 Face & OS-1 Eye products based on your recommendation. Upon receipt, I scanned them into the Yuka app, which deciphers product labels & analyzes the health impact of food products & cosmetics. After scanning both items, the Yuka app rates them both as "poor," which surprised me. The app shows that they both include phenoxyethanol, which is used in cosmetics as a preservative to prevent growth of microorganisms. It states that phenoxyethanol has a moderate risk for us since it is a potential endocrine disrupter, is a potential allergen, & can also be an irritant. Can you share your thoughts on this? Also, I read research that states the GHK-Cu peptide is also great for anti-aging. Can you share how the OS-01 peptide & GHK-Cu peptides compare? Thanks!
 
 
Angie: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you for all the work you do, I’m forever grateful. My sex hormone binding globulin has been high for years. No doctor can tell me what I can do to lower it. Because of this, my free testosterone has been super low. I’ve had no sex drive for years and overall feel no zest for life. For the last few years- My testosterone has been around 20-25 My SHBG has been around 185-215 My free testosterone has consistently been .1 A functional medicine doc had me take stinging nettle twice a day for 3 months and it didn’t help. My primary doc told me to use zinc and strength train more and the number came down a little bit, but not much. Maybe I just have to continue with the zinc longer? I do quarterly detox’s, did a limited yeast protocol, am active and eat healthy.
 
 
Anonymous: I want to start by saying thank you so much for all you do, you really are a blessing to us for all the help you provide! The other day, I heard on your weekend podcast you answer the question of if herpes can be cured, and you said yes. Hearing your response made me very worried and upset that some listeners may not understand the nuance and may misinterpret your answer. While you may get to a point of remission (no symptomatic outbreaks, it is very important to be aware that you still have the herpes virus and are still capable of passing it to others (it is a latent virus so it lives in your body forever). You can still asymptomatically shed viral load, and you are legally (and ethically) required to still disclose this to future intimate partners prior to physical contact.  This is very important to note because there is no reliable way of testing to see if you are shedding viral load asymptomatically or not, and people are entitled to know the risk they are facing, especially since this can be a life changing diagnosis. For example, I caught this from someone who was shedding asymptomatically and didn't know they had it (using a condom), and it really almost ruined my life and severely impacted my mental health. So, in conclusion, whether or not you stop having outbreaks, you still MUST disclose this to any intimate partners
 
 
Rana: Hi doctor Cabral, What factors commonly trigger awakenings during the latter half of your sleep cycle. I typically go to bed around 9:30 pm and experience good sleep until 3 or 4 am. However, after that time, I seem to wake up every half hour for the rest of the night. This disrupts my sleep quality, as reflected by the consistently red "restfulness" reading on my Oura ring. It's important to note that I maintain a regular sleep schedule even on weekends, avoid eating close to bedtime (4-5 hours before sleep), and ensure my sleeping environment is dark and cool. I would appreciate any insights you might have on potential causes. Thanks so much, Rana
