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’m convinced I have lipedema. I haven’t been to the Dr to confirm yet. My torso, arms & legs all feel like I have grainy/pebbly texture beneath the skin. My knees have a weird “fat pad” on the side. I listened to another show where you mentioned lipedema, & I thought you said you have been able to help people reverse it. All of my research says it’s incurable, but can manage it and calm swelling and pain, but the nodular fat will not go away without lipo. My questions are: are you familiar with any other scenario where texture I feel on myself as I described is normal? Or is that pebbly feeling always lipedema? Have you actually seen people get rid of the nodular lipedema fat & heal completely? Or just reduce swelling, pain & normal fat?Diet advice for this condition? Thanks              
 
 
Anonymous: Dr C! Thank you for all you do! I am a 52 yr old post menopausal female, who is pretty healthy, dove into your supplements and detox about 1 yr now. Recently I had normal labs taken by my MD with the results of my alanine aminotransferase (SGPT), serum slighty elevated from last year (range 10-34, mine was 53, last year it was 35). Negative for hepatitis, not a drinker, cholesterol is good, weigh 110 at 5'2, Ultrasound also showed a healthy liver...could it be certain supplements? Thanks in advance! PS have done the 7 day detox 3x now and will do again in May  
 
                               
Anonymous: Hey Dr Cabral....Love listening to you daily! Question ... how important is taking creatine if you are in menopause? Want to maintain healthy muscles whiles strength training but not really a fan about how I hear it may bloat you. Thanks for all you do!      
 
                                                                                                                                                        
Anonymous: I recently completed my 2nd DNAge test, included in my HPH membership. I was shocked to receive the results indicating that based on my methylation value, l aged an additional 6 years in 8 months! I basically follow Dr. Cabral's lifestyle recommendations to the letter. I eat a primarily Mediterranean diet, detox 4 times a year, sauna, resistance and cardio train, prioritize sleep, PEMF mat, minimal to no alcohol, and practice meditation and mindfulness. Additionally, I do the Big 5 four times per year. The only 2 things I have changed in the time between tests is that I have eliminated a very low dose of estrogen and progesterone that I was prescribed for post menopausal symptoms and I have added cold plunge 3 times per week. I am 63 years old. Please advise.                                            
         
 
Emily: My partner 23 (M) has recently started experiencing debilitating anxiety. This is not normal for him and he has not experienced anxiety like this before or at all. He was sick this last month with a 104 degree fever and for a few weeks was experiencing skin sensitivity in certain spots. What would you recommend in helping navigate this new anxiety and help him start feeling “normal” again.                            
 
                                                                                                                        
Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks so much for your great podcasts- I look forward to them every week. My question is: what are your thoughts on the use of testosterone to help post-menopausal women maintain muscle mass and bone health as well as hypoactive sexual desire disorder? My physician is recommending a small amount of a compounded formulation of testosterone to be injected in the subcutaneous skin layer every 10 days. Are there any less invasive and more natural ways to achieve the same benefits that you would recommend? I have heard that testosterone is a controlled substance and I am wondering if it could potentially cause side effects such as hair loss on the head and hair growth in unwanted areas. Thank you.

Statistics show that 1 in 3 people will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime...
 
 
But the good news is that your body holds a powerful built-in defense: natural killer (NK) and T cells that help identify and destroy abnormal cells before they can spread.
 
 
On today’s show, I’ll share why these immune cells are your first line of defense against cancer and how simple diet, lifestyle, and supplement strategies can help boost their activity naturally.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3401 to learn how to activate your natural killer, anti-cancer cells.
 
 
Enjoy the show and let me know your thoughts!

Did you know that your favorite chewing gum might be made from the same plastic used in inner tubes and plastic bottles?

On today’s episode, I’ll break down the research and reveal the toxic ingredients commonly found in popular chewing gum. Plus, I’ll share safe and natural alternatives that let you freshen your breath without the toxic load.
 
 
Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3399 to uncover the shocking truth about chewing gum. Enjoy the show—and let me know what you think!

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…

 

Esmira: Hello, Can low cholesterol be an issue. I eat primarily low fat white fish with lots of vegetables and exercise daily. My cholesterol is below the reference range. I don't eat much fat and am wondering if I should be concerned about the low cholesterol? Thank you
 
                                                                                                                  
Nikolina: Dear Dr. Cabral, do you have any information on how to ged rid of fibroids in the breast. Since I got my second child I have one which does not stop growing. It is growing much slower since I do intermittent fasting, but I was wondering why do I always get them in my breast. Is my body missing something (I used to have them since I am 25 but they all stoped growing at 1 cm, and now they are even smaller. This one has a sensitive hormon receptor the doctor said. I was wondering why do I get fibrocystic breast changes breast changes. In Traditional Chinese Medicine they say fibroadenoma is caused by mucus.          
 
                                                                                                                                       
Emily: Hi Steven. Thank you so much for all you do! I am curious, I have the slow COMT gene snp. I have been told to avoid supplements such as quercetin and rhodiola as they can effectively slow down COMT even further. I'm interested in the histpro supplement for seasonal allergies but I see quercitin is one of the top ingredients. Do you have any other suggestions for allergy products or could you please shed some light on quercetin for slow com? Also with slow comt, would fasting be contraindicated as adrenaline is released while fasting, which is the opposite of what we want and would further bog down comt? Thanks so much for your input! Best wishes    
 
                                                                               
Leora: My 4 year old was diagnosed with enamel hypoplasia. What could have caused this? The dentist said it could have been a result of illness during pregnancy (I had covid and a fever at 36 weeks pregnant). I would like to avoid this with my future pregnancies and children if possible. He received silver caps on his teeth. Are these dangerous for him? Will this lead to heavy metals in his blood stream. Of course, every dentist I asked said no, but I wonder if they learn about this during their studies. He also received large amounts of antibiotics as a child (age 1.5 years to 3 years) due to a misdiagnosis of neutropenia. Could this have impacted his teeth?      
 
                                                                                        
Cristina: Dr. Cabral, thank you for your generosity and support and for helping so many people looking for answers. My question is related to the effectiveness of Prenuvo brain scan (as a part of the whole body scan) compared to Dr. Amen’s brain scan. Do you know if they provide the same valuable information on issues with the brain or are they different? I have a child on the spectrum and was wondering if the Prenuvo scan would help me identify issues that my child might have, such as brain damage as well as whole body issues. Also, is there a treatment plan recommended by Prenuvo after the scan is performed. Thank you!

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: 

 

 Kellie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been with your program for almost 6 months now. I have completed the Vit-Tox tests and have gone through the FM Detox twice and now going through the CBO Protocol. I just turned 38 years old and I feel like my joints are of an 80 year old. I have played soccer since age 5 and still play on a competitive coed league to this day. I have played many other team/contact sports in the past. I have had past ankle, knee, and hip injuries due to sports and I do see possible knee and hip replacements in my future. When I do my daily workouts or go up/down stairs my ankles, knees, hips, and back crack or pop so easily and so much. I don't see glucosamine chondroitin as a supplement in your shop. Are there any suggestions you may have to keep my joints healthier? Thank you!!        
  
 
Jon: Hey Dr Cabral, looking for advice and i feel like there's a population that struggles with this same topic. My Dr is recommending a statin due to my high LDL-C of 230. My LDL has gone up after cleaning up my diet in the last 7 months however ALL of my markers tested for have improved. Triglycerides have gone from over 200 to 100, HDL is up to 60, VLDL has dropped from 30 to 15, A1C is 5.2, blood pressure is normal for the first time ever, and so onr. My personal opinion is that i'm healthier than ever and i can't imagine having to go on what seems like a lifetime drug due to one marker being off and i don't buy the story that LDL alone is a concern for me. Curious on your opinion here and if you think i have something to worry about. Thanks!!        
 
                                                                                                                
Annette: I've been diagnosed with nephrocalcinosis by conventional doctors who say the cause is genetic. I have adjusted my diet to low sodium, low oxalate foods. The doctors say my next step is to try to get on the kidney transplant list before I need dialysis. I take potassium citrate and a calcitriol. Is there anything I can do to improve my kidney function?                
 
                                                                              
Summer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I heard you say that it’s best to replace aluminum cookware, but not necessary, and instead to use parchment paper as a barrier. Doesn’t the aluminum off gas when heated? How does parchment paper prevent the aluminum from getting into the food? Thanks! By the way, to all my fellow listeners: please contact your state representatives and let them know you do not consent to geo-engineering in your skies. Several states have now banned it. We could all live healthier lives if we could work toward eliminating toxins and heavy metals including aluminum that are regularly being sprayed into our air.                                              
 
                                                                                              
Ann: Thank you Dr Cabral- you are changing SO many lives - thank you for all of your wisdom and teachings:) I have a question about Magnesium. My cortisol was high at my last lab test, and I took Full Spectrum magnesium for 12 weeks, and now I take Cal Mag daily. I also understand that I can take Calming Magnesium and CBD at night to help with sleep.I don't want to take too much for too long for my body, but I still think I need the help for my cortisol levels/ sleep. What combination of the above do you recommend? Is there a length of time that is too long to be on Full Spectrum Magnesium? PS. I do the 3-2-1 protocol, take Adrenal Soothe and will be repeating my big 5 this fall. Thank you again!

A question I hear all the time is: “How can I boost my testosterone naturally?”
 
 
What’s surprising is that nearly 30% of men are showing lower-than-expected testosterone levels for their age and this trend is happening in younger men more than ever before.
 
 
Today, I’m diving into the science of how exercise can help raise your testosterone naturally and how to approach it in a way that keeps your hormones balanced.
 
 
So tune in to Cabral Concept Episode 3394 to discover the best exercises for boosting testosterone naturally. Enjoy the show, and I’d love to hear your thoughts afterward!

I'll also go over the ideal timing, types, and portions that actually support your weight loss goals.

Does this sound familiar?
 
  • Fatigue
  • Brain fog
  • Skin issues
  • Joint pain
 
Symptoms like these are not random and they could be a sign of an underlying reaction to certain foods.
 
 
These sensitivities aren’t always obvious and often go undetected, but with the right tools and a short elimination strategy, you can begin to identify your personal triggers and dramatically improve how you feel each day.
 
 
Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3392 as I go over the 5 most common inflammatory food sensitivities we see in our practice and what you can do to uncover whether they’re affecting your health.
 
Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!

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

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

 

Tracey: Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do and the information that you share! My sister’s co-worker was recently diagnosed with M abscessus infection. She already has asthma, so this has really exacerbated her condition. They suspect the bacteria may have been caused due to mold in their office. They have complained and tried to have management address the issue consistently for the past five years, but have had no luck. My sister is now in the process of being tested for that or any similar bacterial types. What do you know about this type of bacteria and is it treatable?       
 
       
Art: Hi Dr. Cabral, I noticed that every time I take Sacc. Boulardi and soil based probiotics at night, I sweat a lot. Why is that? Some background info: last year I came back with fungal overgrowth due to some high mycotoxins (fusarium/fumonisin B1). Thanks, Art      
 
                                                                                                                                
Paulina: How can I loose weight in menopause?          
 
                                                                                                    
Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I appreciate all that you and your amazing team do for this community. My question is about my husband. He is in his early 60's, active, and eats well (other than his sweet tooth). He does the quarterly detoxes with me (most of the time). He is 5'7" and about 155-160 lbs. Although we walk daily and go to the gym 2-3 times a week, he seems to be losing muscle and just looks skinny rather than healthy, which seems to be aging him. How can I help him add muscle for longevity and to protect his bones? Thank you.        
 
                                                                                       
Sarah: Hello! So blessed to have came across you, you've truly changed my life. I've completed a few of your protocols (CBO, HMD, functional detox) I live a healthy lifestyle and do a lot to support my lymph and detoxing (sauna, dry brush, gua sha, rebounding, supps etc!!) I know the effects of alcohol and that there is no safe amount consumed, although I'm not ready to give it up completely at this point in my life and save it for special occasions. Recently every time I drink the next day I am vomiting all day 10-20 times, I can't even keep water down without throwing up and this lasts until about 8pm at night. I used to experience this in my late teens when I would drink, although since improving my health I can drink without feeling too bad until recently. Any idea what's going on?    
 

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: 

 

Felicia: Hello Dr. Cabral. What are your thoughts on this magnesium supplement ? Magnesium bisglycinate, fillers (microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate), anti-caking agents (silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate), coating agents (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, glycerol). Worth taken or should I look for another one? Thanks for your help      
            
         
Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for being my go to person for all of my health questions! What are your thoughts on taking creatine while pregnant? I am going to keep strength training throughout my pregnancy and am hoping this helps with maintaining some muscle. I’ve read great things about it helping mom and baby but want to know what you think. I know you cannot give medical advice. Thanks      
 
                                                                                                                     
Elsa: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thanks for all the information you provide. I'm a fairly recent listener but already have learned so much from you. May God continue to bless you, your family, and your team. My question is regarding my husband. He did a genetic test and came out positive for the MTHFR heterozygous A1298C and COMT heterozygous G472A (Val108/158Met). I've listened to your recent podcasts on COMT, but my question is regarding supplements to avoid if you have this variant. He doesn't take any medications, and already takes methylated B complex to support MTHFR and high homocysteine levels (8.3). He also takes Vit C, Zinc+Copper, Mag, Vit D+K2, Omega 3s, Probiotics. The test results indicate to avoid Quercetin and Green Tea because they are COMT inhibitors? True? Thanks.           
 
                         
Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral. What are your thought on Super CitriMax for weightloss using a combination of 4500 mg Garcinia Cambogia with 60% HCA with 600 mg of Chromium and 1000 mg of B3 Niacinamide or B3 Nicotinamide? Thanks for your thoughts on this.    
 
                                                                                     
Hannah: Hi Dr Cabral! I wrote in when you said the que was closer to 2-3 weeks and I haven’t heard my question yet so this is incase my question got lost- myself and a couple of people I’ve met recently get an elevated heart rate when drinking alcohol (even 1 drink). This has never happened to me before and I’m very well hydrating prior, what else besides histamines could this be? Second, I have a very scant amount of blood per rectum every couple of days since starting the CBO, have you heard of this happening? I’m thinking to d/c citricidal early, I didn’t test prior to CBO and only have 3 days left of that to see if it’s related. Thanks for everything!!

Are you constantly striving to reach certain goals, yet still feel stuck?
 
 
One of the biggest roadblocks people face on the path to success is the way they speak to themselves.
 
 
Phrases like “I’m trying to get healthy” or “I hope to lose weight” may seem harmless, but they actually signal to your subconscious that the goal is distant or out of reach.
 
 
On today’s show, I want to share a powerful mindset shift that will help you stop trying and start becoming the version of yourself you’ve always envisioned.
 
 
So join me on Cabral Concept 3384 to discover how you can stop trying so hard and start stepping into who you already are. Enjoy the show, and let me know what you think!

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…

 

Bryan: Hi Dr C. A couple weeks ago I noticed a skin rash running up the side of my back and on both sides of my lower abdomen. I chalked it up as a fluke and it went away for a while. Until this morning. I figured out the culprit seems to be my portable steam sauna which I have in my room. I've been using a steam sauna for years and never had this happen before. Wish I could upload a photo but is there anything you could recommend for this kind of problem? It doesn't hurt, the skin just feels warm and looks red. Could it be Rosacea? Appreciate any insight. Best,    
 
                                                  
Andy: Hey any idea how to cure eye floaters I haven’t seen any protocols on how to cure them?    
 
                                    
Deanna: Thank you for your informative podcast and for sharing your expertise. My two-year-old son has been diagnosed with Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) to oars, and I’m seeking guidance on potential triggers or the best approach to testing and managing this condition. For some context, he also has IgE-mediated food allergies to peanuts, certain tree nuts, and eggs and eczema so I thought the gut could be a place to start. I would greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations you may have. Thank you in advance for your help!      
 
                                                           
Lana: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for taking the time to answer the community questions, very much appreciate this gift. My daughter is 8 years old and I have found a couple of grey hairs in her head, root to tip. Why could this be?                              
 
 
Anonymous: In the last two years, I've been through all the protocols. Labs are looking good. Continually working on stress reduction. I sleep well, move a lot, eat a healthy diet with lots of grass fed/finished beef from our ranch, dark greens, try to eat the rainbow. I'm taking Cardio, Vision, Cell Boost, multi, omegas, balanced zinc, magnesium. I keep constantly get light headed every time i move too fast, winded easily, yawn a lot. After your episode on low iron, I just ran blood labs and my iron (29), ferritin (3), iron sat (7%) hematocrit (33.7%), hemoglobin (9.8), MCH (23.6), MCHC (29.1), RDW (19.6%), and Alk Phos (14) are all really low. I am not sure what else could be causing these low levels; I have struggled for many years. any advice is appreciated. (37 female, normal cycle)

May 10, 2025

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: 

 

Kris: Hi, I was wondering if you would have any suggestions ,help or feed back on dermatomyositis/antisynthetase syndrome . My husband (Anthony) was recently diagnosed with it, and everything I read and hear it seems little scary. We see a functional medicine dr. now but she is waiting to see what a rheumatologist suggests. Both my husband and myself are thinking detoxing would be the first thing we should do. Would you have any suggestions or thought on how we deal and handle this? thank you in advance      
 
                                                                                                                                          
Frankie: Hi Stephen, hope your having a great day. I've been dealing with post-nasal drip for a while, and my ENT believes it's caused by acid. I’m 21 and was prescribed two doses of Pantoprazole 40mg and two doses of Ranitidine 150mg, but I stopped after a month because I was supposed to take them for three months, and I don’t want to stay on them that long. I had asthma when I was younger, so I wonder if that could be a factor. At this point, I don’t know what else to do to get rid of it. any advice?          
 
                                                                                                                             
Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I took the food sensitivity test and the heavy metals test. On my food sensitivity test it showed Candida albicans and I had some heavy metals such as aluminum and mercury show up on my HM test. Do you recommend doing the detox before doing the CBO protocol or vice versa? If I could only do one, which one would you recommend? For the detox, would you recommend the heavy metals one or the general 7 days (I’ve never done a detox before). Also, would it be safe to start the estrogen balance and estrogen support supplements at the same time as starting a detox or CBO protocol? If I’m just trying help my body excrete estrogen would you recommend just the estrogen balance supplement? I don’t make too much estrogen but it’s high because my body isn’t excreting it well. TY!!!        
      
 
Jill: Thank you Dr. Cabral for your honest and straight forward approach. I have the MTHFR gene and seek a daily vitamin with B vitamins & folate. Many products are available with the activated or methylated forms of folate, B6, and B12. However, when I take them I experience headaches, a feeling of overstimulation, and anxiousness. I spent months experimenting and broke down my multivitamin taking a complex without any B vitamins and then added in individual forms of non methylated folate and B vitamins. I had no issue when folate and B vitamins were methyl free such as folinic acid and the Hydroxocobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin forms of B12. Tell me I'm not crazy! Do you agree that some people may be sensitive to methylated nutrients? Would you consider making DNS with methyl free nutrients?  
           
 
Morgan: Hi Dr Cabral. I’m 34 years old and have recently been diagnosed with isolated high diastolic blood pressure (systolic is normal). I live a healthy lifestyle including daily exercise, balanced diet and maintain a healthy weight. I don’t smoke or drink alcohol. I recently left a job causing me some stress but otherwise I live a pretty stress-free life and I also practice daily yoga and meditation. My mom was diagnosed with hypertension in her 20s and has been on medication since. My HCP suggested starting me on medication too. I feel very strongly about relying on a lifelong medication. My question is even though I do everything correct to prevent high blood pressure, is it possible that some things are just simply genetic? Any suggestions before trying medication? Anything helps! Thanks!

When it comes to anti-aging and longevity, I believe many people are being pointed in the wrong direction…

 

Too many are focused on the end result, without first uncovering what’s actually causing the problem.

 

We live a constant headline society of the latest greatest breakthrough, and as a result we miss the consistent, day-in and day-out foundational health habits that truly hold the key to living a longer, healthier life.

 

Join me on Cabral Concept 3380 as we explore why “science” is looking in the wrong place to slow aging—and what we should be focusing on instead. Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
