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:
Sara: Hi! I was just wondering about when the optimal time of day is to take your capsules/supplements. I was wondering if taking them at night before bed might contribute to your GI system being too active similar to eating late, or if taking them in the morning might stimulate the system as well and maybe interrupt a fast. Thank you so much for your time and consideration, I recently discovered you through Sahara Rose’s podcast and I feel incredibly grateful for all your hard work and expertise that you share with us. Have a great day!
Maria: Long time listener to the show (in fact I haven’t missed an episode for nearly two years!) my question is, having low iron levels, I supplement with iron bisglycinate and am curious as to whether this form or iron is heme or non-heme or neither. And whether then pairing this with vitamin C will help with absorption. I have read somewhere that vitamin C only helps the absorption of non-heme iron, curios for your thoughts! Thanks
Tracy: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you so much for all you do. I no longer listen to music on my way to and from work because I don’t want to miss a show. My question today is this: I’ve recently been diagnosed with a Ventral Hernia. I have had two children and I’m over 40. I know that my lack of exercise after having kids has most likely contributed to this. I also have diastasis recti which I’m currently working on healing. So the question is, Can you heal a hernia naturally. I live a toxin free life and would rather not having a permanent staple in my body. Thank you again
Amanda: Hello, What does it mean or is it a sign of that my stomach gets very, very gassy when I lay down to go to sleep, and when I wake up in the morning. The rest of the day I feel normal. It doesn't make a difference when or what I eat. It is a consistent symptom every night, and most mornings.
Meagan: Hi Dr. Stephen Cabral. I am a long-time listener of your podcast and follower on Instagram. The information you put out is invaluable! Recernly, I have been diving into ayurvedic medicine and trying to discover my dosha body type. I listened to your first few podcast episodes about this topic and was trying to use your celebrity pictures as an example, but the one body type combination that I think I am —Vata-Kapha female—did not have an example on the show notes page of that episode. I was wondering if you could explain in more detail the difference between the Vata-Pitta dosha and the Vata-Kapha dosha body type. I think I am one of these but can't figure out which one. Thank you!
Sara: Thank you for all the years of education and content! I do sauna and hot yoga and I find myself getting pretty dizzy after (when I stand up). If happens even after a hot bath. I’ve done this heat therapy for years and it’s always happened. I read it might be caused by low blood pressure (which I am on the lower side). Wondering if you’ve heard about this - is it common? Anything I can do besides take extra time before I get up?

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:
Paloma: Why does Ayurveda advocate advocate dairy? I know it was raw & organic but isn’t the protein the protein an issue?
Victoria: Hi Cabral ! I had a lot of pain on my lower right abdomen. Basically right under my rib cage / the bottom of my rib cage. I went and got a CT scan (to make sure it wasn't appendicitis) and they said it was pelvic congestion syndrome. To give some further background, they found a 3cm ovarian cyst as well, which, I've been reading, might be a contributing factor. I also got a ultrasound to confirm it wasn't gallstones. I currently am dealing with treating chronic lyme and mold toxicity in my body. I have high levels of aspergillus. Any recommendations for the pelvic congestion syndrome, knowing all that I have said? I have been taking your foundational supplement protocol level 3, adrenal soothe & the cowden protocol for lyme. Appreciate your response. Thank you!
Natalie: Could you please recommend a protocol for gut health following a colonoscopy? Thank you-
Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, no question this time; I just wanted to take the opportunity to let you know how grateful I am for the work you do and the opportunity to have my questions (of which I have many!) answered in person on my favorite podcast! Your knowledge and protocols have been instrumental in optimizing my health. Until next time - Ayubowan!
Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral! :) Hope you’re well and your family and loved ones also.. My question today is about starches used for thicken food, for example corn, potato, tapioca starch.. which one would you recommend to use and why? Should we stay away from any of them? I try not to use anything with corn, just in case.. but are potato and tapioca better or not? Thanks so much for being so amazing!
Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral. I was wondering if you had any advice on Filshie Clamps. I had my tubal ligation done with them in 2017. I have had a few symptoms that I have been able to narrow down to my time for ovulation and menstruation, that I had not had prior to 2017. During ovulation my lower back around my lower back, hips, and knees ache pretty badly. Very painful periods. I have had an influx of course hair on my neck, chin, upper lip. I’ll spare the listeners the small details. That is the jist of it though. Do you think it’s related to the filshie clamps? Also—ovulation and menstruation seem to cause anxiety in me. What do you recommend for that? Thank you so much for your time.

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: Hope your day is well! I absolutely love your podcast haven’t missed a single episode for over a year! One of my favourite shows is your Friday review, and was lately wondering as to where you find these interesting new research papers. Being a doctor, Is it something you are able to get access to, or is the everyday person also able to subscribe and look at the papers as well? I would be sure there many papers not just on health/wellness, so how do you navigate this field of research? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks heaps
Ingrid: Hi, I have been suffering from IC for 3.5 years. I have altered my diet, take desert harvest and many other supplements. Could serrapeptase help me? Thank you
Patty: I am your biggest cheerleading. Please never stop what you are doing!. My optomologist said I have dry eyes. They tear up often after working on computer, reading etc. He recommended using eye drops to prevent dry eyes. I bought them at my organic store & it felt worse after I used them. My eyes actually felt swollen. Any recommendations? Are drops the answer? Never wore glasses until I got older. I am 58. I had a detached retina @ 2 yrs ago. They said it was due to age & my other eye looks like it could have the same issue in the future. Thank you as always.
Anonymous: Hello, I would like to know your opinion about shedding spike proteins that we’ve been hearing a lot about.. is there any research on this? Or is it just a myth? Also, could you do another virus update show.. I don’t know how it is for you guys in USA but here in Europe they’re talking about the 4th wave and closing things down again.. I realise you’re gonna get this much later than I’m writing it, but still.. a virus update show would be helpful after all this time, if you can.. please and thank you and have a great day!
Sarren: Good day Dr. Cabral. On your episode 1976, July 4th, there was a question that accidentally slipped past you. You believed you answered 6 but actually answered 5. I'm interested in your response. The question was: "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.”
Anna: As an overall healthy 27 year old (I've been experiencing some random symptoms, but no diagnosis or specific concerns from any bloodwork or exams), when is it a concern to bruise easily or have multiple, small bruises on arms and legs without remembering a cause? My PCP has said that as long as they're not huge and purple, it's not a concern. Thank you!

Check out today's questions:
Tahlia: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for providing such a truly life changing resource! I'm hoping you can help point me in the right direction, I looked through previous podcasts and I don't believe you've ever spoken about idiopathic hypersomnia before. I had to laugh when I asked my sleep specialist who'd just diagnosed me with it what it meant and he said 'excessive daytime sleepiness with no known cause'. He was sure the other specialists I had been referred to would find an underlying chronic condition that would explain this and my other chronic fatigue symptoms but nobody did. Over the years I've managed to improve my symptoms and come off all medications (including modafinil which was specifically prescribed for the hypersomnia, to keep me alert during the day) and I've come a long way but I haven't seen any further improvement for quite some time. I'll never stop learning and growing but my symptoms currently have far too big an impact on how I spend my time and I was wondering if you might have come across this disorder before or have any information to share about it? A huge thank you in advance for taking time out of your life to answer this and all the other questions you get asked!
Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral! Thank you for answering our questions in your HouseCalls every weekend and for providing the IHP health coaching courses! You have positively changed my life. What causes a person to smell like mothballs? I encountered a man at the grocery store who overwhelmingly smelled like mothballs. I could smell him from 15 feet away. I also noticed one of my older relatives smelled like mothballs when they talked to me at the end of the evening after they had been quietly watching tv and not talking or opening their mouth for an hour.nnI think both people had mothball breath. Is there also mothball body odor and does it have a different cause? Thank you! Anonymous
Eve: Hello I had COVID in February 2021, I had it very very bad after 4 days I lost my sense of smell and taste. Very strange experience. I counted and on my 29th day I started to smell little and taste little but would still be off every other day. Now we are in July 2021 and since July 12th Everything I mean everything I smell is either gasoline, nail polish remover or bleach like. When I step outside to take a breath of fresh air in its like nail polish remover, fresh grass being cut outside is a potent polish remover smell. I can not eat garlic, onions or ginger without vomiting because it tastes like bleach. Cucumbers, spinach, green beans, I can write a list of almost all the veggies and fruits that taste and smell like bleach for me. Toothpaste I have switched to 4 different kinds and it's the worst of it all, makes me nauseous of it all. Even water, I can smell my water now when I shower or wash dishes. I feel like I'm washing my dishes with gasoline like toxic smell water. What do you recommend or believe would help? It's hard to find with to eat and keep my health and nutrition up. I'm 32, female healthy. Thank you
Angela: Dear Dr. Cabral, You mention the importance of eating/sleeping with the sun to help with digestion and sleep. However, what do people in Alaska do when the have endless daylight or minimal daylight periods? What about people who work graveyard shifts? Another example of altered schedule is in Europe they tend to eat dinner and sleep much later than Americans. I know many European countries take an afternoon siesta, could that be their secret? They seem much healthier than Americans in general. Mahalo, Angela
Evan: How long does H pylori normally take to get rid of when treating naturally? Is it ok to have some gluten and alcohol during treatment? Also do you typically look for h pylori numbers to be low or be zero?
Gabriel: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was enjoying your podcast with Organic Olivia when a comment about circulation sparked this question. I am a 25 year old woman who eats clean and exercises a few times a week (though it could be more consistent). In the past few years I've noticed issues with my circulation. For example, lifting an arm away from my body for more than 10 seconds is uncomfortable and if I sit in a certain position for a while my leg will start to tingle. Whenever I get my blood pressure tested the dr comments that it is low but 'healthy' (100/62, 99/61, 90/50 etc.). I have brain fog daily and was diagnosed with ADD a few years back but have had attention issues since I was a child. I do not take ADD medication as the side effects aren't worth it for me. Your comment about bad circulation prohibiting blood from reaching the brain struck me as I have family history of dementia. What can I do to improve my circulation to make my limbs for comfortable and hopefully improve brain function? I appreciate your help and love the podcast!

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! I listened to your podcast regarding new evidence showing that RNA segments can be written back into DNA and influence its sequencing. I’ve heard some suggest concerns over the Covid 19 v delivery method, via mRNA, affecting one’s DNA. Thoughts? Thanks in advance! Learning so much from your podcasts!
Tim: Dr. Cabral, We appreciate your show and teachings. Regarding the current unmentionable virus, we have read that viruses can stay alive on different surfaces for varying amounts of time. My wife is a germaphobe/over-thinker, and to be cautious, we have either been wiping down everything that we bring into our house or letting it sit for a few days before using it. However, we have read that getting sick from surface contact is not as likely to happen as from airborne exposure. Would you recommend wiping/quarantining items, or is the risk simply too low to not make the effort worthwhile? I am hoping to stop and have her feel comfortable. Thank you!
Michaela: Hi, I love your podcast! Thank you for answering people's questions, its awesome. 2 years ago while pregnant with my second child I started getting greyish brownish spots on my torso, neck, and a few on my arms. The dermatologist diagnosed it as CARP, confluent and reticulated papillomatosis. There really isn't much information about this online. I won't take antibiotics for this, I am curious if you have any idea where this is stemming from (liver, kidneys?) and how to treat it from a functional medicine perspective. Could it be from magnesium overdose? I never took more than 400mg a day. I am a healthy 30 year old female, used to have insulin resistance but now eat a mostly paleo / low carb type of diet. (I am now pregnant with our third, and don't mind waiting until done nursing this next one to heal this if it wouldn't be safe now! I'm assuming it wouldn't be.)
Ryan: First, I would like to say thank you for all that you do for the community, I know you have helped thousands of people including myself become happier healthier beings. As far as questions, I have a couple of random rapid fire questions, when I do 24 hour fasts weekly or the beginning of the quarterly detox I notice my eyes get very dry until I eat, is this normal or am I missing something? I have been doing weekly 24 hour fasts and quarterly detoxes for a couple of years and it happens every time. During my 24 hour fasts I only consume water, usually with lemon or lime and salt and tea. Next, for using an IR sauna I know you suggest 40 minutes, would you or could you lower this time and maintain benefits if it was directly after a workout, either cardio or weight lifting since your internal temperature is already elevated? When I get into the sauna cold it takes 15 minutes to start sweating, if I go immediately following a workout I’m sweating the moment I step in, I’m just trying to optimize my time. Thanks again and have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
Julie: Hey Dr C. I'm an IHP and am a little stumped with an issue one of my clients is having. She is 25 and just started month 2 of the CBO protocol after having completed the food sensitivity test, minerals & metals & OAT test. (She also did the 21-day detox). She’s feeling amazing with an incredible boost in energy levels, clearer skin & far less anxiety. She hasn’t felt this good in many years! We have a long way to go but it’s very positive. One of the things that hasn’t improved yet are the frequent bouts of really hot hands & feet which she has suffered with since she was a little girl. I’ve looked for this in your podcasts but can’t seem to find any info. Have you seen this before? So grateful for any ideas or help.
Mary: I've been hearing about Ketamine infusions for treatment resistant depression and PTSD. Do you have any thoughts on this or do you recommend this type of treatment? It was legalized in the US in 2019, I believe. Thanks for all your help today and always!

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,I’ve listened to all your podcasts on fasting and detoxing and now do a daily 12-14hr fast and an (almost weekly) 1 day reset fast. I am curious though: as a Vata-Pita who is a bit too stressed and getting a bit less rest than I’d like to (though otherwise healthy), is a day’s fasting putting my body under more stress than I should be? Also, rather than getting the ‘mental clarity’ many speak of with fasting I tend to get brain fog and lethargy; aside from being inconvenient is this a concern and is there anything i can do to counter it without impacting the detox and autophagy benefits? Thirdly, I’d love to hear your thoughts on going lunch-to-lunch instead of dinner-to-dinner? I find skipping dinner easier and figure it means I’m not breaking my fast with a big meal close to bed and also benefit from a nights sleep on a very empty stomach. Thanks so much!
Simon: Hi again, I have a couple more questions about the 1 day reset: would taking a typical ‘liver detox’ supplement (milk thistle, dandelion, schisandra, etc) during the 1-day reset assist with liver detoxification? Also, is it ok to swap out some shakes with bone broth? Or even lemon/salt water if I’m not hungry? So many other questions but I’ll leave it at that! Thank you for giving so much time and energy to the community!
Lindsay: Hello. In today’s podcast (7/11) you mentioned if you have low blood pressure you are unlikely able to drink as much water as you need without salt. Can you elaborate on that? I have low blood pressure and have a hard time drinking water. Wondering if there is a correlation.
Meghan: Hi Dr C, I have been going back through previous shows and there seems to be a fair few that mention C Sections and after care with scar tissue and what not but I couldn’t seem to find any that look at how to prep the body before having a C Section to help support both the Mum and baby? Also did you have any tips/thoughts about exposing the baby with the mothers bacteria to try and help support the babies microbiome that it will be missing not coming through the vaginal bacteria and anything else that a Mum can do in preparation of a C section birth? Thanks so much.
Meghan: Hey Dr C, following on from my previous question about prepping for a C section. Is there anything in particular that I can do to reduce my chances of developing any post surgery blood clots? Thanks
Nick: Hi Dr. Cabral! Love the podcast. I'm writing to you seeking help for my wife. She has a long history of mental illness(schizophrenia, psychosis, catatonia). She spent 3 weeks at the phsyciatric hospital last winter. Spent 6 months in phychosis without any help from medications. She started working with a functional medicine doctor last summer that ran a stool test and she suspected a parasite. She prescribed alinia and put her on sbi protect immunoglobins and within a couple days started coming out of psychosis. Over the last few months she started having another setback after trying to stop the sbi protect immunoglobins. Started getting brain on fire feeling and alot of head fullness and and pressure. We ran the big 5 and confirmed she has some elevated candida, aluminum, and tpo antibodies close to 500. She is currently on the parasite protocol. and then the limited yeast and heavy metal detox. She is about to undergo a lumbar puncture to test for nmdr receptor encephalitis. It's been a slow long process and would really appreciate any more wisdom you could give us on this issue. Thanks Nick

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!
Anonymous: Hi doctor Cabral, I have a bit of an embarrassing question and I feel very uncomfortable discussing this with the people I know, so really hoping you can help me. How can you tell the difference between brown vaginal discharge (old blood) and a runny stool on your hygienic pad? I have some bowel issues, so sometimes when I pass gas, a little bit stool comes out and ends up on my pad. And when I wear tight pants and sit all day, the pad can move, so the stool ends up a bit higher – where your vaginal discharge usually is. I want to be mindful of brown discharge too, because I have some hormonal problems. Anyway, I really feel super embarrassed about asking this question, so I hope you don’t mind answering. Thanks so much in advance for your answer, I really appreciate it.
Mark: Hi doctor Cabral, What are your thoughts on hydrogen-rich water? Are the health claims around it true? And do you think a hydrogen water maker would be a good investment for one’s health? Thank you in advance for your advice! Mark
Michelle: Hi! I know you recommend being dairy free. I am for the most part. I really like Greek yogurt and seem to tolerate it well. What are your opinions on yogurt?
Tim: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast and love your products. Thank you for all of your time and effort, I appreciate it. My question is does diet tonic water have any negative effects on the body? I like to drink one in my shaker cup in the morning mixed with lemon. I just like the taste and a change from regular water. Is this ok or is it not good for me?
Simon: Hi Dr C! For about two years I’ve been getting red swollen sores on my lip and penis (always in the same place) that a bacterial test has shown to be overgrowth of staphylococcus. They typically flare up at the same time and usually when I get a cold or am run-down. Can you recommend anything to rid myself of this overgrowth permanently (or reduce the frequency and magnitude of outbreaks? I tried using antibacterial wash consistently for a fortnight but that doesn’t seem to have done the job. I’d love your thoughts.
Anonymous: Hi dr cabral, many many thanks for all you do! I have a question about my 18 yr old daughter. She has a little history, at around 14 she started restricting her diet for her sport. Thats the short version. During that tine she started her period. Very heavy periods. It lead to anemia, an iron transfusion & followed by a blood transfusion. She now is sadly on a bc pill. she still has irregular periods, cramps.. i took her for her yearly chec up at her regular doctor and her non fasting cholesterol came back high. She is a very active girl. Competitive cheerleader, tumbling, loves running & working out and honestly eats pretty healthy. She also suffers from anxiety.. Are there supplements that can help. Please help with some direction as to how i can help get her on track—endless thanks
