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: 

 

Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. I was wondering what it means to rarely get sick. I'm 45 years old and can count on one hand how many times I've been sick the last 25+ years. Do I just have a really strong immune system or is something wrong? Is this normal? Isn't it good to get sick once or twice a year to build immunity? I keep thinking that when I DO get sick in the future as a senior, it'll be really bad from all the years of 'build up' lol looking forward to hearing your response! Thx! 
 
 
Sarah: Hello, I have been struggling for several years with significant gastrointestinal symptoms, including alternating constipation and diarrhea, as well as painful bloating. I usually wake up with a flat stomach but by the end of the day I look 9 months pregnant. I was recently tested and found to be positive for both H. pylori and candida overgrowth. In your experience, which condition should be addressed first, and are there specific supplements or treatment protocols you typically recommend to begin care? Thank you so much! 
 
 
Angela: Good evening, I have just stopped taking Ozempic because I have been having nausea and upper stomach pain for 5 months now. Went to doctor and found out I’m plugged up so the gave me some stuff to clear me out. It has helped my sugar a lot back to normal range and also my liver count is back to normal. I have lost 30 lbs which was to much but don’t want all of it to come back. Just reaching out to see if there is something else I can do. Thanks Angela 
 
 
Dave: Dr. Cabral, can you please explain the use of sunfiber or PHGG and if it is suitable for sensitive/irritable colon? Does it really help with butyrate producing bacteria? I would also like to ask about red and infrared devices targeting thyroid gland when there is autoimmunity, normal function, high antibodies and slight structural gland damage. Would you recommend red/infrared light device directly applied on the thyroid as a part of the destress thyroid specific protocol? If so, how long, how often, intermitently? Thank you for your advice. 
 
 
Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have completed several lab tests and appreciate the coaching call that comes with them to review. When I've talked about this process with friends, some are skeptic regarding the blood spot card. How can I explain to them how the dried blood spots can be used to test some of the things traditional blood draws test with the same accuracy? Thank you! 
 
 
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!

Why is it that some people eat well, exercise, and live a healthy lifestyle and still get a cancer diagnosis?
 
 
If you’ve ever wondered why this happens, today’s episode dives into the science behind it and offers a clearer understanding.
 
 
Cancer isn’t caused by one single thing.
 
 
It’s multifactorial, with genetics, environmental toxins, chronic inflammation, infections, and lifestyle all playing a role, and even a healthy body can be affected.
 
 
So on today’s Cabral Concept 3674, I’ll break down all the factors that can contribute to cancer, explain why it isn’t just your genetics that matter, and share practical strategies to help protect your health.
 
 
Enjoy the show!

Why is it that some people eat well, exercise consistently, and still struggle to lose weight?
 
 
If you’ve ever felt like your body is fighting against you instead of working with you, today’s episode may provide the missing piece.
 
 
Emerging research suggests that fat cells don’t just store energy they may also act as a protective buffer against chronic inflammation.
 
 
That means your body could be swelling existing fat cells or even creating new ones in response to internal stress, toxins, hormone imbalances, or immune activation.
 
 
So on today’s Cabral Concept 3673, I’ll break down the research behind how inflammation disrupts fat-burning hormones and share practical strategies to lower inflammation, so your body no longer feels the need to hold onto protective fat.
 
 
Enjoy the show!

Most people associate uric acid with gout, but that’s only part of the story.
 
 
On today’s show, we break down how elevated uric acid can quietly drive inflammation in the body for years, contributing not only to joint pain but to a wide range of other health concerns.
 
 
When we understand what uric acid is and how it’s created, we can begin addressing the root causes rather than simply managing symptoms.
 
 
By identifying early warning signs and key lab markers, you can take action before it progresses into more serious disease.
 
 
Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3672 to uncover the hidden dangers of uric acid and learn simple, natural strategies to keep your levels in check.
 
 
Enjoy the show.

Real world success rarely follows a straight line?
 
 
On today’s show, we break down why progress doesn’t move in a perfect upward trajectory and why plateaus are not a sign of failure, but a normal and necessary part of growth.
 
 
If we think of success as a staircase instead of a straight line, we can better understand how lasting results are built in layers. First, you create a strong foundation. Then, when progress stabilizes, you make small, strategic adjustments to move to the next level, without abandoning the habits that got you there.
 
 
This applies to any area of your life. Instead of regressing when results slow down, you stabilize, reassess, and layer in the next step for sustainable, long-term success.
 
 
Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3671 to learn how to work with the natural rhythm of growth, and finally stop getting discouraged by plateaus.
 
 
Enjoy the show.

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…

 

Pati: how do you lower and keep cholesterol low during early menopause and when you have Familial Hypercholesterolemia. I have 315 total /240 LDL/70HDL/50 Trig. I am 5.4 height, 120lb and gluten free and dairy free for 13yrs and eat very low carbs and sugar. Never taken statins because they make my joints hurt but had high cholesterol for years but 300 was my highest. What can I take that can help and what should i eat. Thank you Pati 
 
 
Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral. Just wanted to confirm. Podcast 3576 reviewed a PubMed study that gave a minimum daily dosage of 10,800 FU to obtain desired results. The podcast gave me the impression that your supplement exceeded the 10,800 FU/day since only the 20,000 FU number was given. However, 3 plus does per day would be needed? Please can you clarify? Proteolytic Enzyme supplement. Natto Serving dosage on label is - (20,000 FU/g) 150mg My understanding is Natto amount is 3,000 FU 20,000 FU/g x .150g =3,000 Is this correct? 
 
 
Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a detox meal timing question for you. When I did my last set of the big 5 labs, my health coach told me that it would be OK for me to eat at 8 and 3 instead of 11:30 and 6:30 as I feel much better when I fuel my body in the morning. When I don't, I feel ravenous in the evening. However, the admin in the FB group disagreed and said I shouldn't do that. Can you please clarify and let me know how big of a difference it makes to eat later instead of earlier? I feel like if eating earlier in the day helps me actually stick to the foods I'm supposed to eat and I'm still fasting for the same lengths of time that  it would be OK. If it's a bigger deal than I realize, will you please explain the reasoning? Thanks so much! 
 
 
Tommy: Hi Dr. C, I’m an IHP who’s come a long way with healing, but I feel stuck for the remainder. I’ve attempted a detox only once in my life. After the 4th day I was so wiped out that I couldn’t really even work. I’ve also got high heavy metals but the protocol causes me such histamine reactions (even at a lower dose) that I just can’t see it through. I feel stuck, I play for a soccer team but even training is too hard on my nervous system and leaves me wired. Maybe I should just try gentler detox like sauna and castor oil packs but I’m not sure it will be enough, and the sauna may just deplete me further. I’ve suffered so much with health and I’m in a better place, but still much work left to do. 
 
 
Lou: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am 15 and listen to your podcast every morning on the way to school with my mom. I was wondering, what would you say are your 5 favorite books? They dont have to be health books. thanks, Lou 
 

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!

Feb 21, 2026

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: 

 

Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral. I'm an IHP Level 1 and have been following you for over 2 years. I'm grateful for all you do. I'm a 61 year old male and take no medication. I've always had elevated cholesterol but it's come down a lot over the last 2 years. I now have LDL of 108. My CRP is in the normal range at 0.41. My homocysteine is also in the normal range at 8.9. My coronary calcium score from almost 3 years ago is 129. I want to make sure my heart stays healthy and want to be smart about what supplements to take apart from the foundational ones like the DNS and Omega 3. If I take all the supplements that promote a healthy heart, it gets a bit expensive and I was wondering if you thought about formulating one supplement to combine some of them. I'm currently taking D3+K2, Red Yeast Rice, Berberine and Inflamma Soothe, and I'm considering adding in Proteolytic Enzymes. What are your thoughts on which ones to prioritize? 
 
 
Lily: Hi Doc, I am taking the foundational supplements and magnesium. I know that everyone is different and the personal approach is best (I just ordered your new book). But, if you had to say, beyond the foundational supplements, what are your next 4 favorite supplements? 
 
 
Tommy: Hi Dr C, I’m An IHP 2. I’ve come a long way with my health and career thanks to you. I’ve had many issues in life similar to you. In the last 2 years I feel like I’ve become very prone to gut issues. I’ve done 2 para and 1 CBO in the last year. I seem to get bouts of dhiarrea like I’ve picked up a bacteria. I have wondered if my stomach acid is low, being an online presence is stressful, but I’m working on my stress more than ever. What else could cause me to have a ‘weak stomHawkins: ach’? I still get anal itching too, sometimes during the day, I know you’ve mentioned this could also be histamines and not just parasites. I’ve had so much trauma, antibiotics, and 14 years of steroid creams. I’ve had low cortisol too which I believe is much better now. 
 
 
Scott: Hi Stephen. (Scott UK) . My wife had a routine operation (9 operations in total) and ended up with stomach problems diagnosed with gastroparesis, well that’s what they said, she ended up with a feeding tube and an ileostomy, in the last couple of years she’s really turn thing around she’s back to solid food and she hasn’t fed on her feeding tube for 9 to 10 months now, she’s gaining weight and looking really healthy, she’s 53 and going through menopause, she’s been diagnosed with carpal tunnel and trigger finger in both hands, and both thumbs are now stuck straight, she takes half of a scoop of DNS and greens powder, D3k2. magnesium, zinc, omega 3, infrared sauna, red light, 7000 steps, they want to operate on both hands,which I’d like to avoid, any suggestions would be very helpful. 
 
 
Stephanie: Hi! I had a full work up done and it showed my prolactin level is 95. CRP also elevated, but everything else within range. I am willing to go see an endocrinologist, but I am hesistant to take the cabergoline (I've read that's likely how they will proceed). Is there anything else I can do? I started taking Vitex Berry when I got the results.

Berberine may be one of the most powerful, research-backed natural compounds for supporting colorectal (and other) cancer prevention.
 
 
On today’s show, we break down seven clinical trials demonstrating that berberine significantly reduced the recurrence of precancerous polyps and colorectal cancer, with lasting benefits even years after use.
 
 
We also explore how berberine works at the root level by helping rebalance key metabolic and inflammatory pathways that influence cellular health and long-term disease risk.
 
 
Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3667 to learn how just 600mg of this powerful supplement may help reduce cancer risk.
 
 
Enjoy the show.

Did you know that while most of your fat cells are created in childhood, your body can still create new ones later in life?
 
 
On today’s show, we break down the difference between fat cell expansion and fat cell creation, and what triggers the body to increase its fat storage capacity. 
 
 
We also explore why sustainable fat loss is not about extreme dieting, but about reducing inflammation, rebalancing hormones, supporting detox pathways, and restoring metabolic health at the root cause.
 
 
Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3666 to learn how to work with your body for long-term weight loss and wellness.
 
 
Enjoy the show.

Did you know that a simple daily habit could sharpen your memory, improve focus, and strengthen your brain as you age?

 

On today’s show, I’m sharing research that shows just 10–15 minutes a day of handwriting engages the brain in ways that typing simply cannot. 

 

We’ll explore why this small, consistent habit is so effective, how it supports memory, mental clarity, and cognitive function, and why incorporating it into your routine can have lasting benefits for your brain—activating fine motor skills, spatial awareness, memory recall, and language processing.

 

So join me on today’s Cabral Concept Episode 3665, where we discuss how this simple daily habit can strengthen your brain, enhance focus, and support cognitive longevity.

 

Enjoy the show.

Have you ever felt like something is “off” and you haven't yet been able to pinpoint what it is? 
 
 
Once you understand that the body is not broken, but instead communicating through symptoms, it completely changes how you approach health, transformation, and personal growth.
 
 
In this episode, we explore why symptoms are signals of underlying imbalances, not failures of the body, and why trying to force results through restriction, deprivation, or overtraining often leads to burnout and metabolic damage over time.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept Episode 3664, where we discuss why healing begins when you stop trying to fix yourself and start listening to what your body is asking for.
 
 
Enjoy the show.

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…

 

Sami: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am currently doing your 21 day detox. I am loving every second of it. For one of my meals I decided to have red beats as my carb/veggie. I had this for two dinner meals in a row and noticed the redness in my stool showed up the next morning after my second meal and then 48 hours after my second meal. I read online that eating red beats can help display gut transit time. I know red beats normally turn your stool a red/pink color in general. Are red beats a good natural/home remedy to decide gut transit time? Or would something like the blue poop test work best?                                         
 
 
Larissa: Hello! My patient recently tested positive for EBV VCA IgM antibodies with positive EBV IgG antibodies but negative early EBV antigen and EBNA levels. She is experiencing fatigue. Would you consider this an acute or reactivated infection? Could it be a false positive? Would you treat this? Thank you in advance! 
 
 
Katrina: As I explore your protocol options and tests, how would having gastric bypass, 22 years ago affect the results to achieve optimal health. Will the products be effective due to potential absorption issues?
 
 
Ateba: Hello Dr.Cabral, I’ve had some bony growth behind my teeth over the last decade. I believe it’s called Mandibular Tori. It seems to have grown quite a bit the last few years. My dentist says it’s from jaw clenching, which I had during sleep for quite some time, but I’ve also heard other things (nutrition deficiencies/toxicity's etc). Don’t have parasites according to my stool test, just excessive stress. Wondering if you have any recommendations for this condition. God Bless. 
 
 
Lisa: Hi Dr Cabral! I listen to you daily, thank you for your knowledge and swear by your functional detox a few times a year! I have been waking up recently (about the last year now) with a mouth full of saliva and I’m forced to get up to spit. I sleep really well - straight through the night, yet this is a bit concerning to me. Any ideas?

Feb 14, 2026

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: 

 

S: What's the deal with smoothies? Why are they recommended so much? Not just by Equilife but from a lot of other wellness practitioners. In general I find they don't satiate me for long and could end up causing me to overeat in the long run. But more than that, I developed a different issue. I found Equilife, as it seems many have, when experiencing gut issues (probably post infectious IBS) and looking for answers. My issues kept coming and going. Then I started to realize it was aggravated during detoxes. (This all evolved over a year and a half.) I finally discussed with AI. In a nutshell, AI suggested I eat warm foods only, cooked veggies. Eat foods in a particular order. This wasn't high risk so I tried this advice. It helped so much. So now I wonder, is it really best to recommend smoothies for everyone? Especially when the detox with shakes or smoothies are recommended as a starting point before other protocols? Seems like if smoothies were to be recommended, it might be better post gut healing? (I now remember a Chinese medicine practitioner telling me years ago that warm food is better for a sensitive gut. I had forgotten that temporarily.) Btw - it's all cold or raw food that can be too much for me right now. Not just shakes or smoothies but I also tested these things alone, outside of the detox. I just see smoothies recommended as nutrition for all kinds of reasons and to people with all kinds of gut issues and don't really hear anyone discuss when it is not good for some of us. Now I just need to figure out how long to heal before I can add back cold food and raw veggies at times. I miss my carrot sticks but glad my gut is happier. So why are smoothies such a thing in the wellness community? 
 
 
Katie: Thank you for everything you have done and taught me. I had a Prenuvo scan done (thank you for the code) and found that I have a small pineal gland cyst, multiple kidney cysts, a syrinx in my spinal cord and a cyst on my cervix. I lived a very unhealthy first 33 years, but have been living clean the last 3. Big 5 showed bacterial overgrowth, mold, candida, heavy metals, mitochondrial dysfunction, high manganese, high bedtime cortisol, and low T3. Hormones and omegas were optimal. What is the root cause of cyst formation? Besides going through protocols and proteolytic enzymes is there anything else I should do? Of course, not looking for diagnosis or treatment plan.          
 
                                              
Liz: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 36 year old female with no history of health problems before the last 2 years. On June 26, 2024 I underwent an XILF lumbar fusion surgery to fuse my L4/L5 because of chronic back pain. I soon found that this was the biggest mistake of my life. I haven’t been the same since. I have been experiencing unrelenting, chronic nausea and abdominal discomfort on a daily basis. I also experience brain fog and chronic fatigue. As such, my performance at work has significantly decreased, my mood has been at an all time low, some days I can’t even get out of bed. I wish I never had the surgery, had I known my quality of life would have plummeted so drastically. I’ve gone to countless specialists (a gastroenterologist, endocrinologist, rheumatologist, an ENT, neurologist, OBGYN, Accupuncture, even tried Reiki, and every test result shows unremarkable/normal results. I recently went to pain management and they gave me an epidural after seeing significant scar tissue around the surgical site. I am not experiencing any relief. In fact, I think I feel worse. I am getting married in May and want to start a family but have not been able to get myself right since my surgery. I’m scared I’ll never be able to find relief. I don’t know where else to turn or what else to do. I just want to get back to normal again and enjoy my life. If there’s anything you can think of that I can try, I’ll do it. I’m at my wits end. Please help me.        
 
                                                      
Rebecka: Hi Dr. Cabral. I have recently been diagnosed with Anemia. I have not been told the specific type of Anemia. I feel terrible 24/7. My symptoms include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, chest pain and shortness of breath. I feel this is an off and on chronic problem as I have realized I’ve been having these symptoms for years. My RBC are low, my retic is low and low lymphocytes. Mcv and mch values were high on my CBC. Vitamin b12 and folate normal and my TSH was what I considered low normal. I also experienced a hot flash after lunch every day. I am very petite at 5ft 1 and 95-100lbs and I am 43 years old. What tests should I be doing to figure out the root cause of my anemia? I know hormones and stress can play a role as well. I live a very stressful lifestyle working full time with 2 young daughters. On top of all this, I had an ultrasound of my abdomen in December. It showed biliary sludge and a 2cm hemangioma on my liver. Are there and herbs to dissolve the sludge before it causes any more pain or complications? I would just like to feel “good” again and live a somewhat normal life. Please help me. 
 
 
 
Renee: Hi Dr Cabral, Firstly thank you for your dedication to helping people globally find answers to their health challenges. I am an IHP lv 2 and would greatly appreciate any advice on a client with CIDP (MADSAM syndrome) — Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy. A 62 yr old male, fit, dealing with symptoms for 2 yrs, legs are weak and seem to be getting weaker, continues to experience widespread fasciculations (nerve twitching), which are now also affects his hands. His neurologist has recommenced treatment with IVIG (Intravenous immunoglobulin) to address what body is doing to the nerves. I will be having him on the DESTRESS protocol and highly recommending the Big 5 to get to the root cause. Your thoughts on using IVIG along with removing toxicities and replacing deficiencies would be extremely appreciated as I am very keen to help him reverse this and get his life back. Thanking you in advance. Renae

If fat loss feels impossible, the issue may not be calories or exercise.
 
 
What if that resistance isn’t a failure of willpower or metabolism, but a protective response from your body?
 
 
On today’s show, we explore how body fat acts as a biological buffer, safely storing toxins, excess hormones, and inflammatory compounds when detox pathways are overwhelmed.
 
 
We’ll go over why forcing fat loss too quickly can backfire, how supporting lymphatic flow and liver detoxification plays a key role in sustainable weight loss, and what foundational steps need to be in place before the body is ready to let go of stored fat.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3659 to learn why your stubborn body fat is acting as a buffer and how to unblock it.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and let me know what you thought.

Are the daily vitamin D3 recommendations you’re following actually keeping you healthy…
 
 
Or are they leaving you at risk?
 
 
On today's show, we dive into a massive 2014 study error that caused U.S. and U.K. guidelines to be 15–22 times too low.
 
 
We explore why vitamin D3 isn’t just for bones, it’s a metabolic marker that impacts blood sugar, hormones, immunity, cardiovascular health, and brain function.
 
 
I'll also share with you the amount that most adults need to be taking and the key cofactors to take alongside it for optimal health.
 
 
So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3658 to learn about the big vitamin D mistake and how to find your personalized vitamin D3 sweet spot for protecting your long-term health.
 
 
Enjoy the show!

So many of us set big goals in life, but we wait for the “perfect moment” to get started…
 
 
The truth is, that perfect moment rarely comes.
 
 
On today’s show, I break down why motivation isn’t a mood, it’s a skill you can build.
 
 
And action is what triggers it...
 
 
I’ll also explain how dopamine drives energy and ambition, not necessarily reward, and why taking small, consistent steps, even when you don’t feel ready, creates momentum that compounds over time.
 
 
Join me on Cabral Concept Episode 3657 to discover why motivation is not something you ever find and what you can do to start building it today.

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…

 

Sonja: Dr Cabral thank you so much for all of the wonderful education you have been sharing with us over the years to help us be healthier. My family and I greatly appreciate it along with so many others around the world! I am a 60 year old woman who was diagnosed with hemochromatosis about 2 and 1/2 years ago. Thanks to the minerals and metals test that I completed which raised a red flag on the iron level, I was able to get my doctor to do a ferritin blood test to find out that my level was at 725! Over the past couple of years, I have been working with a hematologist and getting therapeutic phlebotomies as needed. I eat clean, workout and have an overall healthy lifestyle with minimal alcohol consumption. I do a 7-Day Detox 3 to 4 times a year, daily DNS shake along with multiple Equilife supplements. My question to you is - if I was your aunt what protocols or recommendations would you have for me? I would love to reverse the diagnosis of hemochromatosis. In addition, what would be the ferritin range that you would recommend? My hematologist wants it as low as possible (around 30) however my energy is very low when it's at the levels that he desires. Thank you so much for everything that you do. Sonja 
 
 
Peter: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thanks for the great work you do and your books! I’m generally in good health and currently not on any medications. For the past 2–3 years I’ve been very consistent with lifestyle habits: clean diet, training 5–6x/week (3x strength, 2x cardio, 1x HIIT), no alcohol, consistent sleep schedule, sauna ~3x/week, and daily bowel movements. Despite this, I’ve experienced low libido for several years. It fluctuates, but I haven’t been able to identify clear triggers or improvements. A few years ago, blood work showed elevated prolactin. My doctor prescribed Dostinex (dopamine agonist), which resolved libido symptoms effectively, but felt too strong. I’d prefer to identify and address the underlying cause rather than suppress symptoms. Recent blood work again shows elevated prolactin and elevated SHBG. Free testosterone is low. Blood sugar is within range but not optimal given my lifestyle. LDL is also elevated. Primary symptoms • Low libido (low initial drive, rare or absent morning erections) • Skin issues for ~1.5 years (none prior): – Redness on chin and temples, flaring after meals and after B-complex supplements – Small forehead bumps resembling acne that appear and disappear within a day Secondary symptoms • Slightly flat mood • Low muscle gain relative to training effort • Occasional cold hands • Frequent urination (including at night) • Low evening energy • Reduced interest in socializing I’ve tried various supplements over time but without a clear framework or plan. I’m hoping you could share your thoughts on possible root causes and what testing or protocol you would prioritize. Thank you for your work and guidance! Best, Peter
 
 
Michelle: Hi Stephen, I've experienced sensitivity to Equilife's Florafilm & another brand of proteolytic enzymes (nausea & vomiting). I have no allergies and have never experienced a negative reaction to a supplement. I am in overall good health and not on any medication and was wondering what might be causing such a reaction? I tried taking just one of the capsules instead of two on an empty stomach and experienced similar side effects. Is this product by chance enteric coated? I read that could help prevent side effects. Lastly is there a product you could recommend in its place to help remove biofilms so that the Para Support protocol will continue to be most effective? I found a product that contains Bismuth Subnitrate, Alpha lipoic Acid and Black Cumin (Priority One Biolm). Would it be ok to take this product in place of the Florafilm? I have been taking just one capsule of it with no side effects (product recommends 2 capsules 4 days a week) or is there a better solution as I do want to do some other Equilife protocols and noticed they also contain the Florafilm product. I love your Podcast and Equilife products and disappointed this one doesn't work for me. Thank you for all you do! 
 
 
Larissa: Hello Dr Cabral. My 4yrs old son is allergic to dogs, I suspect the saliva. When he pets a dog nothing happens but when a dog licks him or his hands and he touches his face, that area gets red and swollen within minutes. Is this common? Is it possible this will go away? Is there a way to test him for this and more importantly treat him for this? I’ve heard of the NAET protocol, do you recommend this? Appreciate any advice!

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: 

 
Cassie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I truly enjoy your content and am hoping to start your IHP curriculum within the next year. My question is about the safety of Cyperus Rotundus oil. It is noted to reduce hair growth when paired with hair removal methods such as waxing or laser. However, I have seen a study mentioning that its effects on hair growth are due to it’s antiandrogenic properties, which would make me think it would only be beneficial in removing hair growth that was directly due to androgenic hair. Do you know anything about Cyperus Rotundus oil and its effectiveness or safety? I am always cautious about remedies, natural or otherwise that could affect hormones as I have had major hormone imbalances in the past and know that my body is sensitive to hormone fluctuations. Curious if this oil truly does have antiandrogenic properties or not, I am reading through some of the studies to try and understand but would appreciate your expertise. Thank you! 
 
 
Darren: Good  day Dr. Cabral. I've been seeing all over social media where posters show studies indicating Older fathers (35+) are associated with increased birth risks/defects. Any truth to this or is it because some older men lead unhealthy lifestyles? 
 
 
HC: Thank you for sharing your wealth of informaiton to HELP so MANY Of US!!! Do hydrogen tablets provide all the health benefit claims? I cannot afford home hydrogen water system and looking for alternatives. At home we use Berkey counter system as I take totally trust your recommendations. THANK YOU!!! 
 
 
Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral. My daughter is 10 and gets acid reflux. It’s noticeable on her teeth and she complains about it after certain foods every now and then. We have had a stool test done here in Australia which was negative for H.pilori and have seen a paediatrician but they recommended putting something down her throat to have a look, but if we can I’d like to avoid that as she has already had to go under for a surgery before so I’m not keen on her going under again. My partner and his family get acid reflux. Over time my partners has gotten better but he has really brittle teeth so I’m wanting to get on top of it while my daughter is young to avoid this happening to her. Would really appreciate your advice smiling face Thank you so much! 
 
 
Jackie: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all that you do. I have been using for 10 days and the very intense itching/flushing (why I took it) has become much more frequent and intense? Typically a warmer room or high stress event could cause me to get this deep internal itch/flushing sensation, now it is happening without a distinct trigger. If I sweat with a "ginger bath or cardio" symptoms are gone for about 2 hours. Any thoughts as to what could be happening?

Many people believe fat loss is simply a matter of eating less and moving more, yet their bodies continue to resist, no matter how disciplined they are.
 
 
On today’s show, I break down the five most common physiological reasons the body resists fat loss and explain the one critical question your body is always asking: Is it safe to let this weight go right now?
 
 
You’ll learn why the body may hold onto fat as a protective response, even when nutrition, movement, and consistency are already in place.
 
 
I also explain why creating internal safety signals, rather than relying on calorie restriction or overtraining, is the key to sustainable fat loss and long-term metabolic health.
 
 
So join me on today’s Cabral Concept Episode 3652 to discover why your body may be blocking fat loss and what changes you can make to finally work with your physiology instead of against it.
 
 
Enjoy the show, and let me know your thoughts!
