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:

Sami: Hi Dr. Cabral! I’m currently in level 1 IHP certification program right now and loving everything so far. I’m even going to try the 14 day detox soon. Anyways my question pertains to myself that I’ve been struggling with for a bit. I’m a 24 year old female who lives a pretty healthy lifestyle but the one things I can’t seem to figure out is why my face turns bright red and I get a hot flashes when I speak to people about 60% of the time. It happens at random times and with random convos. Is this something happening internally that could be causing this? Any recommendations??

Matt: Hey Dr. C! I have pretty good oral health. I use a tongue scraper, floss, FYGG toothpaste and I brush 2x a day. I also use their oral breath mints. However, my wife still tells me that my breath smells bad. Obviously, I don’t want this. Lol. I don’t want to use conventional toothpaste/mouthwash since there’s a lot of chemicals in there. Would love to hear your take on this. Thanks for being the man the myth and the legend! -Matt

Della: My right foot has been extremely dry for the past couple of years. Left foot, Normal, no dryness whatsoever. What could possibly be the reason? Help!

Rachel: My teenage daughter has been struggling with acne, and we’ve tried multiple topical treatments with limited results. Could diet or gut health be playing a role, and if so, where should we start? 10/2

Yvonne: My cholesterol labs have increased from previously: total cholesterol is now 6.44 (Normal range: below <5.20 mmol/L) and LDL 3.92 (Normal range: below <3.50 mmol/L)? Non High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol is 4.23 (Normal range: below <4.20 mmol/L). Other lipid lab values are normal. Triglycerides Normal range: below =1.30 mmol/L - my value 2.21. Do you consider these abnormal and, if so, what can I do to reduce those numbers? I am hypothyroid (take natural dessicated thyroid) and pre-diabetic - generally A1C hovers between 5.9 and 6.

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!

Can you actually detox spike proteins from your body after a viral infection?

On today’s show, I break down how long spike proteins may remain in the body and why inflammation, preexisting health conditions, and mitochondrial stress often play a bigger role in post-viral symptoms than the proteins themselves.

I’ll also share nutrients that appear to help support the body’s natural detoxification and recovery process, including enzymes and compounds that aid in circulation, inflammation control, and immune balance, along with foundational immune support you can rely on.

Tune in to today's Cabral Concept 3548 to learn what the science really says and how to strengthen your body’s natural defenses from the inside out.

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…

Raina: Hi Dr. Cabral! Hope you’re feeling groovy and vibrant on this fine day! :) I recently had a baby.. I was planning for a home birth but things didn’t go as planned. After 100+ hours of labor I went to the hospital and ended up with an emergency c section. My baby was taken to the NICU because of struggling to breathe - she had swallowed meconium which quickly came out and she was then breathing fine. While I was in recovery from surgery and she was in the NICU the med team gave her a vit K shot, despite the fact that i previously told them no injections. Now I’m trying to right their wrongs. Is there anything I can do to help her body after receiving the vit K shot? Also, how could I best support her body after a c section and not getting the benefits of a natural vaginal birth? Thanks!!!!!

Jennifer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I would like to get your thoughts on mesenteric panniculitis. I am a healthy 50 year-old female, currently IHP level 1 student. I had a CT abd/pelvis a few months back for a pretty bad GI virus. Scan showed enterocolitis however incidentally noted “mesenteric panniculitis, likely chronic”. I have read this (mesenteric panniculitis) can be autoimmune related and wanted to get your thoughts and any recommendations. By the way, I will be completing my first Dr. Cabral 21 day detox in 2 weeks and already feel great! Thank you so much for all you do!

Jill: Dr. Cabral, I enjoy and learn so much from your podcast and appreciated learning about mammogram alternatives in episode 3049. Similarly, I'd love to find DEXA alternatives with no radiation and wanted to get your feedback on REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry). This technology has no radiation and is made by the Echolight company in Italy. It is currently available through Precision bone imaging in CA and AZ and because the technology is portable was also available to book at my local OsteoStrong location in Las Vegas, NV. Additionally, can you give your feedback on the FDA cleared device called OsteoBoost?

John: He doc. Just wondering if you read the book the one minute cure and if you did what did you think about it . Thanks keep up the amazing work

John: Hey doc . In one of your previous podcast you mention how good the sauna is to do post workout, I’d like to know iif that’s only after an anaerobic workout or if it’s good after an aerobic workout to . Thanks

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:

Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, love what you've done for the health industry - so much so that I recently graduated as an IHP L2 and will be attending RHS this Fall! I'm writing as I've been experiencing itchy, stinging hives on my face (typically around the chin, mouth and lower cheek area) for 6 months; once the inflammation on the hives settle down I'm left with what appears to be a whitehead. If popped, the skin becomes extremely dry and peels off within 24hrs. I experienced this once in 2018 after a TBI, but worked with a ND (since retired) that resolved my symptoms w/ gut work. I intend to complete the big 5 to asses what's happening, likely followed by a DCD and CBO protocol but would love your thoughts to ensure I'm on the right track and if you have seen these symptoms before. THANK YOU!

Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - Earlier this year, I had a food sensitivity test done. My bloodwork came in showing above average to tomatoes. The results were 4.7 mcg/ml and anything great than 2 suggests a sensitivity or intolerance. I've been drinking your greens powder every morning and then realized it does have tomatoes but I'm guessing it is a very small amount. Do you think I'm okay to continuing drinking the green powder? I'm working on reducing inflammation in my body. I'm going to retest later this year with your kit. Your test is much more extensive. Thank you!

Tricia: Hi again, Recent bloodwork showed my Omega 3: EPA at 2.8% by wt is above average. They consider anything above a 2.3 too high. Have you ever seen this before? Not sure why my balance of Omega 3 fatty acids are shifting towards EPA. I was taking your fish oil but have stopped temporarily. All other numbers for Omegas are in range. My total Omega 3 is in range at 7.5. Omega 6-total in range at 39.4. AA/EPA Ratio in range at 4. Homocysteine is 7.7 mcg/dl in range. Omega 6/3 ratio is 5.2. Can I get your opinion please? I know you can't diagnose or treat. I just want your opinion of what it could be and what I should do. Should I continue to take fish oil? I do eat Wild Salmon about 3 times a week. My HS-CRP is 4.1. Thanks for any guidance.

Jenny: Hi Dr Cabral - Weighted vests seem to be the latest fitness craze. What is your opinion of them? Thank you!

Belinda: Please I have ovarian cyst and PID for over four years and I have been taking antibiotics and it's not helping, what should I do

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:

Mike: Thank you Dr Cabral for all you do. I’d like for you to read this question to yourself before reading out loud, to some people this could be disgusting. What can we learn from our stools size, color, texture, smells, amount, frequency?

Spencer: I’ve been experiencing shakiness, jitteriness for a decent amount of years now. I had some extended chronic stress. I ran the big 5 recently. My adrenals were tanked and I likely have some fungal/yeast/bacterial overgrowths based on my OAT. I tried the CBO two years ago, but my body was just too burnt out and stressed that no protocol would work. I’ve started working on nervous system and therapy, which have been helping a ton. I plan to do to CBO again at the end of the year. I also had some mycotoxin markers elevated (mostly the black mold one) likely from my job, which I still have one more year at so I don’t want to focus too much on it. Do you have any advice for me in the meantime? I think more frequent smaller meals could help, but my diet is limited because of sibo and gut issues…

Rachel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Over the past 12-20 months I've notice my mother (72) has this ongoing sort of this dry throat combination that results in coughing if she does not continue having lozenges in the morning & throughout the day. She a drink ks water& coffee in the mornings & I day is pretty well hydrated. This was never reoccurring issue until recent, I've tried to tell her body may be telling her something. What do you think it could be? & what would you recommend to a family memo? I also worry eating these ricola lozenges everyday is masking the issue & potentially disrupting her mouth/gut microbiome like say the wrong toothpaste would. Thoughts?

Rachel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Can you give us a brief breakdown on if we should really be concerned about high cholesterol anymore if we don't have other contraindications? I know statins are a billion dollar industry & really don't have much efficacy. My mom is 72 & her bloodwork came back with LDL around 163. She is active, always doing yard work, has been lifting 3x a week for the last 2 years & eats a whole foods diet, high protein diet, barely anything processed. She sleeps great & feels good. Her only health concern is osteoporosis. I don't believe she should worry about this factor, but for years she has seen the headlines about high cholesterol so it's difficult to change her outlook. What would you say to her if she was your mom?

Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - Thank you for all that you and your amazing team do for our health community. You are my go-to and the one I trust with all my health questions. My question has to do with Botox and fillers that so many young and older women seem to have become so captivated by and are convinced this is how they retain a youthful look. I have never tried it and have no intention of doing so, but know so many who have and I'm concerned for them. Their facial features - eyes, cheekbones, lips, etc., just no longer look natural at all. I assume once they start this routine, they have to continue it to maintain the effects (even though they don't realize they are changing their looks). What are the chemicals in Botox and these fillers and what are the long term effects of them?

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! Thank you for the great work that you do! I'm hoping you can speak to the risk and benefits of regular blood and plasma donations. At what iron levels would you likely recommend someone give blood, if at all? Also, what is the difference between a plasma donation and plasmapheresis? Can you get similar benefits from regular plasma donations as you can from plasmapheresis? Thank you!

Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, In my teenage years, I was quite often prescribed anitbiotics to combat cystic acne. I was mostly prescribed tetracycline, and a few others that I cant remember. I was on them for quite a while as I just did not respond well to acutane. Im a male and 40 years old now and I do have quite a bit of gi issues. My first GI doctor diagnosed me with dispepsia, though I wasnt tested for that so i dont know how he arrived at that conclusion. My 2nd GI Dr. ran a stool test that came back normal. Is it possible for such antibiotic during teenage years to lead to GI issues? I know nothing is certain without testing but just curious if its even a possibility considering it was so long ago and Ive largely avoided them since my 20's. Thanks

Elizabeth: Hi, Dr. Cabral. On a previous show, you mentioned a red light therapy device and that devices get better every couple of years. I noticed the one on your resource pages is at least a couple years old, so I'm not sure it's still as effective as some of the newer ones. When looking for red light therapy caps for hair growth, what numbers (levels) and how many red lights should be the minimum in a red light therapy cap? Some can get quite pricey and I'm looking for something that is cost effective. Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing back!

Marie-Eve: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am an IHP level 1 and soon 2 student. I have been using the X39 patch for the past 3 months and very much respect your knowledge about all things health. You have experienced, seen, read, done so many things in the health and wellness World and I take your opinion very seriously. You have mentioned a few times in your podcast that you have not seen any clinical studies about X39 and wanted to share these 2 with you. I was pleased to know about an affordable way to activate stem cells and copper peptides but I don't understand the deeper langage when it comes to researchers sometimes. I agree that blind testing is not enough and we need actual clinical studies to prove its benefits. I would love to hear your thoughts on those researches I found through my portal.

Ian: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope this message finds you well. One of my favorite basketball players, Victor Wembanyama (Wemby), was diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, which is his shooting shoulder. He’s 7 feet, 4 inches and 21 years old. From my perspective, it’s very likely that taller people develop cardiovascular issues, and health issues in general, more often than shorter individuals... but Wemby is quite young and perhaps we might not expect cardiovascular issues at this age. I’d like to break down what may lead to blood clotting, especially in tall humans. What might the body be responding to with aggregations of blood in its attempt to reach its balanced state? Lastly, what modalities could be taken to mitigate blood clots in general, and athletes in particular?

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:

E.L: Hi Dr. Cabral, I had an endoscopy done in Jan 2024 and found gastrointestinal intestinal metaplasia in the stomach. In July I had a 2nd endoscopy done (to take a more deeper look and map it) and the results were the same and “stable” (no change), the Gastro said that it looked more like autoimmune gastritis because I tested positive for the antibody, she explained it to be one in the same. She said not to worry because the chances it become malignant (dysplasia and on) were slim and monitor it (repeat the endoscopy) in 2 years. Had a GI Map done per my Int Doc that ruled out H. pylori, which she said was not real data and disregarded it. Taking gastric gum and GI benefits, manuka honey on occasion. How long should I take these supplements for? For ever? What can I do? Can it be reversed?

Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently asked you about very high levels of vit. B12 that my blood work shows (despite not supplementing with B12, other than what's in my Multi) You said it may be a liver issue - that perhaps my liver is not processing my B12 and that's why the vitamin keeps circulating in my bloodstream. Can you please elaborate on this? How can I check if my liver does not process my B12? What kind of tests should I run for my liver? Thank you so much for your help.

Alicja: Hi again. What is your opinion about electric cars? Is it true that they are big "EMF boxes" Ever since someone mentioned that, I can't help but wonder if it's true. I would love if you could make a show about this, perhaps with results of what EMF readers show inside a Tesla, Cyber truck and the self driving Weymo. Thank you again for spreading your amazing knowledge.

Kelsey: Hi Dr. Cabral. I was wondering if you have heard of the brand of cookware called Hexclad. It advertises as getting the cooking experience of stainless steel, nonstick, and cast iron all in one hybrid pan. They say the nonstick is called TerraBond which is PTFE free and free from forever chemicals, and is a patented technology. Thanks for your input!!

Jasmine: Hey there, Firstly, I want to thank you for all the podcasts you put out, and all that you give. I am in the best health now at 36 years old, because of how much I’ve learned & applied from all you’ve discovered and shared with us. I had my first baby last March, and plan to try for another next year, in hope that they are. somewhere close to 2 + years apart. I noticed the veins on my arms and hands enlarged during pregnancy and have remained enlarged post pregnancy (9 months now). They often ache. I started out at a healthy weight, 5’ 9” 136lbs, gained 23 lbs during the pregnancy. I am wondering if there is anything I should consider doing/taking to help with the veins on my next pregnancy, maybe increasing my blood flow etc. would love to hear you thoughts. Thanks so much!

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. Cabral! Love you and thank u for all that u do! I'll try to keep this short as possible.

- 5"1, 107 lbs, 44 yo, fit female, possibly in perimenopause, upper/lower body vata, only calves pitta/kaffa, results from Big 5 is yeast and candida overgrowth (Limited CBO recommended), in Adrenal Resist stage, sex hormones low, testosterone is optimal, omega 3 is 10.4, thyroid optimal, cortisol is optimal. - I do orange theory but feeling more depleted, was told to stop for now. - How can I keep my gains if I can't workout bc of adrenals? - Which body type do I eat for if I'm a mix dosha? - I don't have weight to lose but could lose some body fat, is that the same? (current bf 24%). - How do I gain muscle and lose body fat for my dosha? - What should my macro split be?

Just wanted to add that because I'm at the Adrenal Resistance stage, I was recommended by my coach to do things to help bring energy IN , instead of putting out. I'm just confused with HOW to workout and eat exactly while in perimenopause with adrenal resistant, with mainly vata dosha. It seems my perimenopause is telling me to workout and build muscle but my adrenal resistance is telling me not to. (I sleep 6-7 hours on workdays, and 8-9 hours on weekends). Any help and recommendations will be appreciated!! Thank you much! You're the best! Thank you!

Suzy: Hi dr. Cabral, I truly appreciate you potcast, it has majorly transformed mine and my family's health and lifestyle. I have a question about freshly ground ancient wheat flour, is it inflammatory same as modern processed wheat? Or does it even have health benefits for someone who has a well balanced gut and isn't sensitive to gluten? I know it's a very controversial topic but I'd like to hear your opinion on it. Thank you for your answer!

Danielle: Hi! I will be trying to conceive in the next 6 months so I’m looking to optimize my health, I recently got my bloodwork done and saw I have high iron levels- I think this might be from using a cast iron regularly. Most prenatal vitamins I’m finding have iron in them. Would you recommend looking for a prenatal without iron? Do you have any brands you recommend? Additionally, is your omega 3s and daily nutritional support safe for pregnancy?

Ronald: Dear Dr. Cabral, I've heard that it can take 10-15 years to fully detoxify from years of smoking. Are there any effective ways to accelerate this process? I'm aware that sauna therapy can be beneficial, but are there any more affordable options? Additionally, I'm concerned about the potential for toxin buildup in my liver and bladder, increasing my cancer risk. Could you please provide some advice on how to minimize these risks? I’m a 75 yo male and have smoked since I was a teenager. Thank you for your time and expertise. Sincerely, Ronald

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…

Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral, First, thank you to you and your amazing team for selflessly giving of your time and knowledge so we can all learn and grow on our health journeys. We can't really express this enough. I have a question about your Alkalizing Vitamin C product. You've recommended this as something to take in water upon waking, but could it also be effective when I add it to my morning smoothie or is it better to take separately? I don't enjoy the taste on its own, so I'm unlikely to drink it just in water. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Kavita: Hello Dr. Cabral, First, I want to thank you for your amazing work! I listen to your podcast every day, which means I've been consistently listening for the past 3,231 days! :) I have an important question for you. I recently started taking Berberine, but a friend mentioned that it may have adverse reactions. She told me about her neighbor, who had to stop taking it because doctors wouldn't perform surgery on her while she was using Berberine. I’m unsure of the exact details, but it raised some concerns. I started taking Berberine because there's diabetes in my family, and I'm hoping to avoid getting on any medications as I move ahead in life. How do I make sure it is working for me? I hope this gets on your list soon :) Thank you, Kavita ( Pronounced - ka-vee-tha)

Jenni: Hi, I’ve been battling Meibomian Gland Disorder for over a year. The only thing that has provided relief has been taking 50mg daily of doxycycline. I’ve been on this dosage for 10 months. My doctor has tried weaning me off, but the symptoms pop back up after 4-5 days. Nobody seems to understand why this issue arose suddenly, and no one can offer me help outside of antibiotics. Do you have any experience in helping patients with MGD? Could this be due to heavy metals, gut issues, systemic inflammation? I’m desperate for natural relief. Thank you, Jenni

Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for the work you do and especially taking time to answer people's questions. My question is regarding to home oil as the main heating source. What are your thoughts on the cleanest and safest option? We currently have the standard heating oil. There is an option to change the oil to a B50 blend which consists of a 50/50 blend of standard heating oil and biodiesel. This would then convert to a B99 fuel which is 99% biodiesel. Any thoughts on this subject or know of a place I can go to research more? Thank you!

Paedyn: Hi Dr Cabral, but of a hard to question. What are some ways I can naturally treat MALS (median arcuate ligament syndrome). I woke up randomly with stomach pain in my epigastric region one day out of nowhere and Dr’s are saying it’s this and that the only treatment option is very major surgery which only a select handful of surgeons perform this surgery worldwide and a lot of people end up worse off after the surgery. I just want to heal my body naturally. Thank you so much!

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:

Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral. First, thank you for all you do for the health community! You are my most trusted source of information. I'd love to get your thoughts on a red patch under my right eye. I've suffered through it flaring up and going away over half of this year. My dermatologist has tried 2 creams and we recently did a skin allergy test. While this was helpful, nothing has made it actually get better. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is more gut related than contact allergen related. Do you have any thoughts on ways to go about finding this root cause? Thanks!

Melissa: Hi! I just moved out of state and am in my mid 40s with menstrual irregularities. I’m feeling overwhelmed trying to find a new primary care and OBGYN that practices holistically with functional medicine therapies. How does one go about finding one. Or should I opt to doing a hormone therapy specialist?

Anonymous: Hi Dr. C, For several mornings now Ive been having a weird, somewhat sour chemical taste in my mouth. I believe this is due to my chronic constipation as my morning bowel movements are often incomplete, and any subsequent movements I have after my first one will smell more strongly of this sour chemical taste I wake up with in my mouth. My urine will have this smell as well. It does not smell of feces, just sort of chemically. I also have lots of pain in the area right below the sternum and seems to be chronic, and only reduces with the more bowel movements I have. Im already taking many magnesium supplements, motility activators, tudca, and miralax but I still find myself in these situations quite often. My stomach will often make high pitch, squealing sounds as if its straining

Lynne: Hello and thank you so much for all you do for all of us! I'm trying to understand why I tend to get benign growths such as lipomas. I also have a lump on my breast that has been there since I was 20. I am 52 and have gone through menopause and thought it would dissipate after the estrogen level dropped so dramatically. I also had hyperparathyroidism...another growth. Finally, I have a lymph node that feels like a tiny hard nodule on my neck (at the top near the ear). I have been taking proteolytic enzymes, am not overweight, exercise daily and eat a very clean diet. I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you! Sorry, I forgot to mention that I listened to previous HouseCalls and have tried all of those things: massage, rebounder, sauna, dry brushing, castor oil, detoxes, etc. I have been doing these for a number of years.

Jill: Thanks for sharing your expertise and experience. I have a history of hyperlipidemia but through diet & lifestyle efforts have kept my cholesterol levels in check. Within the last few years, the levels have begun to climb and some of my inflammatory markers are worrisome. I am 53, post menopausal, and live an active lifestyle. I would like to avoid statins; however, I have been taking Icosapent Ethyl and Ezetimibe for the past 6 months and have seen a lowering of both my triglycerides and cholesterol to normal ranges again. My APOB is 139, LpA is 102 but my CT cardiac score is a zero. Where do I go from here? Is there any other testing I should consider to understand if need to continue on these medications, such as a CT angiogram?

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:

Chris: My heavy metals test showed elevated thallium but my water is fine. What hidden unknown foods/sources is this coming from?

Anonymous: Hello, I’ve tested my hormones but didn’t know it should be done by a saliva test. I’m wondering if I can still make something out of the results of the female hormones I tested in this way? Or are these results completely off? They’ve tested FSH, LH, prolactin, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, TSH and cortisol.. I understand it is not the same as with a saliva test, but hopefully it still means something? What should I look into , to understand the levels? I know Equlife offers tests, but you don’t ship here, unfortunately.. Thank you for your help

Anonymous: Hi, I’ve been listening to a lecture from a naturopath about folic acid & methyl folate.. apparently all the studies about it closing the neural tube of the fetus were done on folic acid, not the methylated form. It apparently only makes sense to take methyl folate if you have the MTFHR mutation, otherwise you can actually feel worse on it and better on folic acid (non methylated). I know you say methylated folate is better but I’m wondering why, if all the 4research of its efficacy for fétus development is done on no methylated folate? Thanks for the explanation

Mel: Hi Dr. Cabral - thanks for your zest for all you do! I have an undiagnosed autoimmune condition and completed your 21-day detox a few months back, which was pretty uneventful without any noticeable side effects. After the detox, I had a rough stressful patch, and my diet went off the rails. So before beginning the Para Support protocol I'd like to do, I thought doing a 7-day detox would be a good idea to make sure my body was ready to handle it. The first day of the detox, however, my body reacted differently - it felt like it was on edge and dysregulated in a sense: my neuropathy flared up in an uncomfortable way, dizziness kicked in, my muscles got sore and fatigued, and my breathing felt more labored. Why would this only happen during my 2nd detox, and what can I do to remedy it?

Patrick: Hey doc ! Huge long time fan. I’m a very active 50 year old male. I’m always either hitting the gym or playing sports about 5 days a week . Last week I didn’t have time for the gym so I exercised at my house doing allot of push ups, dips and band exercises this is nothing new I do it all the time. Last week the day after doing this I now have horrible elbow pain it feels like it’s getting dislocated everytime i move my arm and put any type of pressure on it at all . Any tiype of rehab you can suggest would be great thanks

Rickardo: I have had great benefits in doing your Detox quarterly. however, i have noticed that after about 5-6 days, my resting heart rate drops to low 50's (usually I am in the 70's). I have even had it reach as low as 48. Any reason as to why this is? While i am quite healthy, i am certainly no athlete. Note i do have chronic stress which i am working on improving (which has shown through cortisol levels when i tested). Is the detox / fast perhaps a little too much for me considering i have been suffering from anxiety / high stress over a prolonged period of time, and hence why heart rate decreases to low 50's? Note i did a heart test through my GP and it came back with no issues. Also note after getting off the fast, my resting heart rate eventually returns to 70's. thank you so much!!

Check out today's questions:

Anonymous: Hello, I’m a 36 year old woman who eats mostly a clean plant based diet, but still has fibromyalgia and inflammation in the body. My periods are regular and not strong, but they start with spotting a few days before the painful 1st day of the period. What can I do to stop it being so painful? Also last month I had some spotting and bleeding 4 days around the time of ovulation, is that normal? What does it mean and how to get my body in balance?

Thank you

Lara: Hi, dr. C!I know you say nutritional yeast is a problem because its molecules are similar to MSG or that’s how the body perceives it, but someone told me the same happens with tomatoes and mushrooms? they say nutritional yeast is a great source of B12 and folic acid - it does contain naturally occurring MSG, but so do tomatoes and mushrooms, so is that the same? Is naturally occurring MSG as bad as actual MSG? Should we avoid tomatoes and mushrooms as well? Thank you for the clarification

Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral- Thank you for all you do for the community:). I have a question about both Heart Rate Variability and VO2Max. Barring going to a specialist to get tested, what are the best or most accurate tools to measure each? Thank you again as always for all you do!

Charlotte: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm currently trying to conceive & am working with a Naturopath & Integrative Dr to prepare & keep Hashimotos stable. We completed a stool test which was positive for H.Pylori, Staph & high inflammation Calprotectin of 376 ug/g. Three weeks prior to doing the stool test I travelled to Thailand where I ate outside of my usual Gluten & Dairy Free diet & also had stomach upset/diarrhoea for 4 days. I usually have no gut issues. Do you think the upset during travel or H.Pylori/Staph can raise marker? Naturopath wants referral for colonoscopy ASAP as could be driving thyroid & persistent antibodies of 300. Dr & I are reluctant as no prior gut issues & is invasive. Completed 4 month gut protocol to remove pathogens, now working on inflammation. What next?

Allison: Hi Dr. Cabral, I searched your podcast archives and didn’t see anything on the topic of bone spurs. My Dad has some in his shoulder and they say the only way to deal with his limited range of motion is surgery. I also have them under my kneecaps which has created a lot of mobility issues and a surgeon told me he could operate and clean off the surface under the kneecaps but there would be no guarantee it would work or help. Why do bone spurs occur and is there any way to get rid of them naturally? I’d also love to know how to prevent them from reforming. Thank you!

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…

Renne: hi dr. cabral! after many years of stubborn acne and not seeing the results from my functional efforts, i reached a point where i was willing to try spironolactone for reducing androgen production. after only 8 days on 50mg, i developed intense right side flank/kidney pain that was also associated with heart flutters. i stopped the meds and everything subsided after 3 or so days. could my low potassium have caused this? any thoughts?

Angie: Thank you for making functional medicine more accessible and affordable to all! I have a few questions…. How do I know what podcast episode to listen to for the answers? I did the two week detox and I still don’t feel well. I didn’t lose any weight, I was hungry the whole time, my stomach still feels bloated and I am still gassy. What now? Also can you tell me what you think of Truvani’s products by the food babe?

Lorie: My right eye waters off and on all day long. Especially in the cold, or when air blows on me. It is not dry eye or a problem with my tear duct being blocked. Is there anything I can do for it? The eye doctors have not been able to help me. This has been going on for at least 15 years. Thank you

Mia: I have been dealing with gut issues for a while and recently developed Mast cell activation syndrome. Could the root cause of MCAS be the gut issues? And, could dealing with that could resolve the MCAS?I keep hearing MCAS is progressive and not curable (and mine is progressively getting worse every few months) and am very scared because the symptoms of MCAS are quite terrible. Is there any suggested testing or tips to dealing with it?

Terri: Hi Dr. Cabral~ Thank you for having the best podcast ANYWHERE and for being so generous with your time and knowledge. I am a 61-year-old woman and have normal, although probably not optimal, thyroid levels. I recently shot up rather suddenly into the 6+ TSH range with really no explanation that I can think of from a dietary or environmental exposure standpoint. My question is… I had a few recent incidences of ingesting an NAC supplement with an inadequate amount of water and the burning in my throat was excruciating and lasted about 15-20 minutes each time. Is it possible that this could have damaged my thyroid and if so, is it reparable? Thanks so much for taking my question!

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:

Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral , what is your opinion on low dose Ketamine? I know you spoke of it briefly a year or so ago but on not daily low dose, and at that time you were still researching between Ketamine and Psilocybin. What have your findings been ? I’m considering trying low dose ketamine for SEVERE Sensory overload, anxiety & now depression because it’s robbing my life . I’ve been working on root cause , doing protocols, detoxes ect and have improved a lot but that just won’t leave and by far the most worst of my symptoms. I tried SSRIs and my body does not like them at all , on Xanax now just to barely function and refuse to go up in dose per my Dr. wanting me to increase dose to help . Hoping your research can help my decision. I’m in CA and I don’t think psilocybin is legal here yet .

Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, I try to avoid plastics whenever possible but sometimes they are hard to avoid. What about local honey at the farmers market that comes in a plastic bottle? Or drinking chilled water out of a plastic insulated thermos? I know leaching is terrible when the plastic is heated, but curious if the plastic doesn't get hot if it is just as bad. thanks

Anonymous: I tested positive for an STD called Ureaplasma, which is know to cause PID and infertility. I've taken many rounds of antibiotics and it has not gone away. I am also experiencing mild symptoms of urethritis which this is known to cause. I was wondering if there is any natural treatment for STDs or urethritis. I am also wondering if taking biofilms with the next round of antibiotics could help the antibiotics work better?

Sara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I just read your article on alkalized water and was wondering if there is whole home filter you would recommend. I have a small filter under my house and need to replace it. I looked at the AquaTru under sink filter, which looks great, but is there a good option to have a whole house alkalized filter? Thanks! Sara

Cindy: First , thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge so freely! I’m always looking for safe alternatives for anti-aging/beauty products in lieu of injectables, etc. Are you familiar with Procell? Procell uses microchanning along with a topically applied serum. According to their website “Procell’s Microchannel Delivery Serum contains bone marrow-derived growth factors in a hyaluronic acid suspension. Both of these elements are naturally-occurring in the human body. There are no human, animal, or plant cells, DNA, blood, or any other foreign substances. The product has been used safely and effectively for over a decade.” How does one determine the safety of a product like this? I value your opinion! Is Procell therapy safe? Is microchanneling safe?

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:

Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral. Recently, I was eating "healthy" ice cream and noticed an ingredient I am unfamiliar with, EPG. Its listed as a modified plant based oil and, upon a bit of research, I got the feeling this is another sneaky fat substitute that we might need to be aware of. Do you have any thoughts on this? Many thanks for everything you do in the health space :)

Jennifer: Thank you for all your help and knowledge. Is there a root cause, or a way to heal an overactive bladder and lost of bladder control?

Diego: Does the 21 day detox plan do away with heavy metals in our bodies? If not, what exactly will it remove?

Yvonne: SaltAir UV – Ultrasonic Air Salinizer - love being in salt air - my skin loves it, psoriasis basically disappears in this environment and better for breathing rather than the dry environment I live in - will this product help or would it be harmful indoors since typically salt air, although good for us, is harmful to our homes and cars due to corrosion, etc.?

Melissa: Hi Dr. Cabral - I recently took your food sensitivity test and had my coaching call but left with a couple questions still. I had a moderate sensitivity to egg whites and Brazil nuts and low sensitivity to pineapples and almonds. I was having eggs, almonds and Brazil nuts almost every day before the test. The reason I took this test is because my IgG levels have been very low since 2019 (could have always been low but this is when I first tested it). The coach said she couldn’t tell me if my low IgG could be related to these sensitivities. I was hoping you could expand on this and provide some more insight into why this may or may not be correlated. Since they’re both IgG related, I was hoping for a connection to maybe figure out why I have low levels (subclass 1, 2 & 4). Thanks!

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…

Mel: Hi. Thanks for all you do and the info you provide. It’s priceless! I’ve learnt so much. My question is about Black seed oil. What are your thoughts on its benefits? I’m constantly searching for natural ways to heal my skin and gut. Thanks again for your help.

Josh: Hello I have been trying to do several things to improve my overall deep sleep. I am on day four of the 7 day Cabral detox, it’s the first time doing this. I am hoping that this can help also with my deep sleep. But I got prescribed some trazodone from my family doctor to help with my sleep. I do not struggle to fall asleep. I wake up occasionally throughout the night. I’m fairly good at getting 8 to 8 1/2 hours of sleep per night, but even with the trazodone, I still only get, one hour of deep sleep. Since I’ve been on the detox, I still take the trazodone, but I only get about 30 minutes of deep sleep. I’m doing the tracking through my I watch ultra. I know it’s not the best tracker, but it gives me a general idea. honestly it feels like I haven’t really been able to get good sleep.

Laurie: Hi Dr. Cabral, First of all, I want to thank you for all the support you provide so many people, I really value and trust your advice. My question is regarding healing from a surgery. I have a surgery which will leave a scar on my neck. Do you recommend anything in particular to help fade this scar, maybe red light therapy and/or other things. thanks so much!

Erin: Are there any studies that link ice chewing with a mineral deficiency or any other sort of deficiency? I have been chronically addicted to chewing ice for almost three years… in this time I’ve had two babies. I’ve always been told “you’re low on iron.” Which was true during my pregnancies (a few points below normal) but since then they have returned to a normal level. I’ve done the iron supplements to no avail. Do I just need to break this bad “habit” or should I look into other underlying causes? What are your thoughts?

Samira: Hi doctor Cabral, What are your favoriete supplements or natural solutions to combat night sweats during perimenopause? I really appreciate you taking time to answer this. Thank you! Samira

Patricia: I was wondering why more supplement companies don’t use glass, aluminum or paper products for packaging. Besides the health benefits, there are massive environmental benefits. Would EquiLife consider making the switch?

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:

Debby: I have a strong family history of breast cancer (non-BRCA) and dense breasts, so one of my primary annual screenings is an MRI. From what I understand, much of the gadolinium is removed via kidneys and urine. However, there is evidence that it can buildup in brains and bones, and long-term effects are not fully known. I was hoping you had a podcast about how to detox after an MRI, but didn't find anything. Any advice?

Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! i’m on the CBO protocol and ive noticed during flex meals if i have something fried (chips, fries) that i will get a body fever after. my stomach area is hot to the touch and my sleep is interrupted. is this a pitta imbalance or my body rejecting unfamiliar food? needless to say, it’s never worth it.

Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral - I had a look through the archive but only found a podcast about Autoimmune Hepatitis. A friend was recently "diagnosed" with (viral) Hepatitis A and has been dealing with a lot of fatigue and pain from the inflammation. Being a virus the doctor has said he needs to wait it out and told that he should have been vaccinated. Liver enzymes are low and I am wondering what support I can recommend. Standard dietary and lifestyle principles would apply specifically to liver detoxification and would the Dr Cabral Detox be beneficial or add more stress? I have read that it can be transmitted from an unvaccinated person, poor hygiene, contaminated water/food but that most people recover in about 6 months. Could you please share what you would do for someone in your family? Thank you

Sonia: Good morning Dr Cabral, Thank you for all the information you share, it has been really helpful. My question is: what do you recommend for someone with a nickel allergy, she is really overwhelmed since she was diagnosed with that, her food options are really limited. Thanks in advance.

Anonymous: Dr.Cabral please help ! I’m seriously worried about my physical and mental health .I have been suffering from EXTREME sensory sensitivity for a very very long time now 18 years . I’ve seen several holistic drs . I have done your big 5 and work with a coach , I have even tried meds but SSRIs I’ve had bad reactions to . I have used alcohol this whole time just to be able to be or host a social even , have dinner in crowded, place even to attend my kids sports functions . I feel like a fraud because I’m so health driven in all other aspects but i seriously feel as though I’ll have a seizure or stroke from the over stimulation I’d I don’t numb my nerves with alcohol! I’ve tried every calming product I can think of and it doesn’t touch how bad I get . When I try I’ll be so over stimulated I puke

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:

Maggie: I’m on the last week of the 21 Day Detox and feel amazing. Do you recommend I do another protocol of yours?

Maya: Hello doctor Cabral, I'm a 45-year-old woman with a lot of goals I want to achieve. However, my monthly cycle appears to hinder my progress. During the initial two weeks post period, I feel enthusiastic, energetic, clear-minded, and ready to conquer the world. But, a few days after ovulation, I experience a decline in energy. My workouts become more draining, my thoughts turn negative, and I struggle to stay on track with my goals. I know that this is likely due to hormonal fluctuations, but I would love to maintain consistent energy levels throughout my cycle. Are there any supplements or strategies I could implement to sustain this energy? It's worth noting that I lead a healthy, active lifestyle and am very mindful of my cycle. Thanks so much for your answer, you're the best! Maya

Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for your podcast, I’ve been learning a lot from it. I’m a dietitian and I’m having a really hard time understanding the food sensitivity tests that functional medicine practitioners use (listened to recent episode on that). This is a test that dietitians generally do not use. From my understanding, these tests reflect a normal ‘reaction’ to the foods that we have recently and regularly eat. When they remove these foods during the elimination phase and retest, it only makes sense that the IgG response to these foods is lower, since it hasn’t recently been eaten. When these clients come to me with these results, I rarely pay attention to the results, but rather focus on ‘cleaning up’ their diets, lifestyle, etc. Would love to hear your thoughts on my view!

Jack: I completeled a mycotoxin test I have high mycophenolic acid how can I detox it out of system where did it come from please help

Erin: Thoracic pain/tightness…I grew up playing sports and then played competitive golf through college. I remember at the beginning of every round my upper back was always sooo tight and it felt like a really deep tightness. So much so it interfered with my swing but after 3-4 holes it started to loosen. Fast forward to now and it seems my thoracic area is constantly tight and if I do weights or like yesterday, a lot of raking, that area is so sore and tight today. What is causing this and what can i do? Sometimes i feel it constricts my breathing when it gets so tight after heavy weights or physical activity involving my upper body.
