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…

Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm at 46 yo female in the thick of perimenopause, and suffering from all its symptoms and I also have gut issues too. I'm going to run the Big Five and would also like to run the Menopause and Fertility test as well. My question is, will running the Menopause test be beneficial even though the Big 5 includes the Stress Mood test? I would like as much data as possible because knowledge is power, but also don't want to purchase unnecessary tests. Looking forward for your response!

Anonymous: Have you ever heard of Cantron/Cancel/Protocel? It claims to help with C using bioelectrical wellness. "Stimulate cellular regeneration so body can regenerate/repair more efficiently, by restoring the electrical environment which determines whether cells thrive/die." It has K, NA, Fe, Ca, Cu, sulfur and a blend of phenolic compounds from flavonoid family subgroup catechins, quinones, hydroxyquinones and cyclophentenes. My family knows people that have had success with it. My aunt has triple negative breast cancer despite taking it. She is adiment that she wants to stay on it while working on lifestyle changes. Taking it limits other supplements she can take so I feel stuck in how to help her. Any insight you have would be great!

Alex: Will it boost my metabolism and enable me to enjoy all foods while keeping my weight stable if I do every other day. So one day carbs only next protein only next carbs only next protein only and so on? Thankyou Alex

Anonymous: Is it possible that an inguinal hernia could repair itself without the need for surgery? (Asking for an adult female in case this matters.) What corrective exercises would be recommended, and which exercises should be avoided? How long might this kind of hernia take to repair if it is possible? Thank you!

Patricia: I can’t handle any methylated vitamins or quercetin - I react strongly, fatigue, body tingling and aches, migraines. I know the cause - mold, and I’m working on it. However my coach (not an ihp) keeps trying to push methyl’s as she says this means I’m methylating poorly. I think this means I can’t clear methyl’s, not that I don’t methylate enough. What do you think? I do have a mthfr variant, not on the primary snp but the other one, and I am a fast COMT. I am trying to figure out how to dial in my b vitamins and how to make sure I don’t overdo it. I take all non methyl forms now. This is also keeping me from doing your detox sadly, as the daily nutritional support has methyl’s. Any insight or pointers would be appreciated!

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:

Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, I would like your opinion on an EFSA warning about three supplements: Ashwagandha Intenso, Brain Life, and Curcumin C3 Complex. EFSA reports that ashwagandha may affect the immune system and thyroid function, while curcumin may impact the liver, the GI system, and, during pregnancy, contribute to lower birth weight. EFSA sets the maximum daily intake of curcumin at 210 mg for a 70‑kg adult. Brain Life contains 600 mg, and Curcumin C3 Complex contains 1000 mg, which both exceed this limit. I would appreciate your assessment of the safety of these dosages.

Justin: Hello Dr. Stephen Cabral. I just want to start off and say I think you are the most genuine and honest person people can follow right now and I love what you do. I'm about to start the 21 day detox and then plan on moving to the CBO protocol. I'm an ectomorph body type and I work out 3-4 days a week. I know in previous podcasts you have said that my body type needs lots of carbs and protein before and after a heavy lifting workout. I want to continue to try and get some workouts in during this time to keep up my strength and was wondering what you recommend since the meals are separated by 3.5 hours. I know not to workout during the shake fast days and I'm only doing those on the first 2 days since I'm not trying to loose weight. Thanks!

Tricia: Hi Dr. Cabral - At different times of our lives, we all go through very stressful life events. As I've gotten older, I really don't handle stress as well. I'm 56 years old. My father is 95-years old, doing great but I see I'm doing more and more and eventually I will be doing more care giving and running between two houses. I'm preparing my cabinet with your best supplements which all have been amazing and work just like you say they do! So, thank you! I do take the Sleep Support supplement once in a while as needed. During stressful events, would you recommend your Adrenal Soothe at dinner along with full spectrum magnesium then the sleep support at bed? I know how important our sleep is and I just can't turn off my mind when life gets to be too much sometimes. Thank you!

Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - thanks for ALL you do! I ran an omega 3 test, apparently I came back in the top 1% lol AA/EPA ratio: 4.3:1 Omega 6:3 ratio is 4.5:1 (it says the ideal is 3.1 - 3.9) Trans Fat index: 0.18% Omega 3 index: 8.33% I did run my cholesterol markers recently: Total Cholesterol 4.8 optimal HDL 1.4 (low-opt) LDL 3.3 (mild elev) Trig: 0.62 (excellent) Ratio: 3.4 (good) Also, TSH 1.1, FT4: 16 BUT FT3 2.3.... HELP! LOW Ferritin (21) I know you explain we dont look at one marker in isolation, but if it were you what would you be looking at (min effort, max dose) I do psyllium husk daily (about 10g) and Omega-3 Support as well as the foundations (DESTRESS) Any concerns with cholesterol? 43, Active, healthy, Female :) (Cant run EL labs) x

Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral! I was diagnosed with sjogrens and lupus this year and my dr started me on plaquenil. I am 33 years old and I do not want to be on this medication forever but with being child bearing age and looking to start a family in the next year, they require me to be on it during pregnancy. I have been following your podcast for years and use all of equilife’s supplements, follow the quarterly detox, etc. I do the daily foundational protocol and the immunity supplements I use are histpro and mushroom supplement. My understanding of autoimmunity is the immune system is overactive. Are these supplements activating my immune system too much? What are your suggestions I do to help be able to put my autoimmune into remission? I deal with mostly fatigue, joint/muscle pain. 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…

Sarah: Hey doc! Ive been regularly gua sha'ing my face and I noticed that my face feels 'crunchy' especially at my jawline and at my lymph nodes by my ear. It doesnt seem to be improving despite regular use, is this normal or anything to be concerned? I feel it more in my left side which I seem to get more breakouts on my cheek/jawline/neck. Thank you!

Margie: I just read all your cancer information because of a recent diagnosis. I have a Naturopathic doctor in addition to conventional oncologist. I’m curious your take on Esaic tea and or soursop? I told not to take it during treatment because it’s a detox and we want the targeted chemo and immunotherapy to work… this is from my ND, however, research on both suggest otherwise. I’m very curious your thoughts. Thank you!

Alicja: Hello Dr.Cabral, I recently run by blood work and urine test. I have pretty good results from my blood work (except high cholesterol) but I am concern about results from my urine test. It shows I have trace amount of blood in my urine and also albumin in my urine was detected (slightly above the optimal cut-off) My urine albumin is 0.3 mg/dL What can I do about this? Does that indicate early kidney damage? (BTW test was done on day 16th of my cycle) Thank you for answering my question. I appreciate all you do.

Tyler: I’m a 37 year old male and I was diagnosed with a pilocytic astrocytoma brain tumor in my hypothalamus in December 2022. It was a benign tumor the size of a large egg, and I had a 15 hour surgery to remove 90% of it. 3 years later, I still have erectile dysfunction and low libido. Why is that and what can I do to fix it? I’m on Clomid for my testosterone, which is now around 500. I was on testosterone gel for a couple months but quit because of sperm impact. I test my sodium level every other week because it was low at times after my surgeries. I have a programmable shunt to help drain CSF. I don’t have morning erections. Could this be from damage during the brain surgeries? Is it hormonal-related even though I’m on Clomid? Is it psychological? Please help. I listen to your podcast daily.

Trish: Hi Dr C. - hoping to get some advice on your 7-day detox. I'm in my 50's and most of my life my weight has gone up and down by 30lbs. I have a problem with binging. As I've gotten older, I've learned how to control it and my triggers. I've tried the detox 3 times and I have found that it causes me to binge. Becoming too strict it throws me for a loop. I don't do the two fasting days. I fast 20 hours. I avoid all the inflammatory foods gluten, dairy, corns, eggs & nuts as I do this on a daily basis so that isn't hard for me. Giving up berries/fruit in my smoothie & some quinoa or brown rice is what starts to create me wanting to binge. I usually eat 1 sq a day 90% cacao choc too. Any advice on making the detox beneficial without following the guidelines 100%? Hope this makes sense

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:

Darem: Hey, Dr Cabral. I recently did a health assessment where everything went well except my practioner telling me I'm overweight according to BMI which was 26.0. She then went off textbookedly (sic) saying to exercise more, eat more fruits & veggies etc. I already do all that for years. I'm 5'6, 161lbs, lean, muscular, 6 pack abs. Around 10% BF. How can I still be overweight

Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have a question about garlic. In a recent podcast you talked about the many benefits of garlic and of consuming at least a clove a day. Do we get the same great benefits of garlic (including cancer prevention) if it is cooked, roasted, baked as part of a recipe, etc., or does it need to be raw? (I know you talked about smashing it and letting it sit for 5 minutes.) Thank you!

Julie: Hi Dr. Cabral, My daughter (age 3 at the time) was diagnosed with Mycobacterium Avium Complex (MAC). It took awhile to properly diagnose and be treated since it is so rare in children. She was put on multiple medications including antibiotics for about 2 years (ethambutol, rifampin & azithromycin). She is now 9 and doing great, but we recently noticed symptoms of Raynaud's Syndrome. While I am waiting for an endocrinologist appointment I was hoping to see if you had any insight as to what would put her in a compromised state to begin with to be able to contract MAC. And now should I be testing and treating her with protocols to make sure her rain barrel isn't overfilling and if so what do you suggest at this young age?

Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral - hope you and the family are doing well! I have a quick question regarding the GLP Tone and Metavolve systems. I've done both and love them both! I am currently on Metavolve and have been for the last few months. I don't follow the diet plan it comes with strictly, but I do follow your baseline of a Mediterranean diet. I feel really good and am losing weight just more slowly. I'm 56 post-menopausal and am healing on the inside out. My question is can both of these systems be used long term? Are they safe to do so and when I do transition off of Metavolve do I need to do it slowly? Thank you for creating such amazing supplements to assist us in this life long journey of health!

Bob: Hello dr Cabral I wanted to ask for your thoughts on what might cause and what to do with this issue. I normally walk about 10k steps a day and either at mornings or nights have a longer walk about 5 to 6000 and make up the remaining steps throughout the day. But when taking the longer walk I have notice it seems my hands start to swell while walking. I have even noticed it in my wrist as my watch band gets very tight. I don’t pump my arms very much when walking and feels harder to make a fist when this happens. Any advise on this for me. It does seem to go back to normal after stopping in few hours

Want to create a fresh start without blowing up your entire life?

On today’s episode, I break down a smarter, more sustainable way to make meaningful changes, without abandoning everything you’ve already built.

While social media often promotes drastic resets, true transformation comes from building on your current foundation, not escaping it.

You’ll learn how to improve your health, career, or relationships by working in parallel, making small, intentional upgrades while maintaining stability in the areas that are already working. This approach allows you to create lasting change without unnecessary stress or disruption.

Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3706 to learn how to start fresh without harming your current life and create the next level in a way that’s realistic, sustainable, and built to last.

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…

Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - I don't believe you've talked about this before, but what are your thoughts about toxins in the regular/store brands of toilet paper? Should we be concerned about that and if so, are there any brands that you personally recommend or buy for your family? Thank you!

Emily: Hello Dr Cabral, I love your podcast and listen to you weekly! I wanted to ask your thoughts on milling your own flour, to make your own bread. You do not have to convince me to not touch the commercial bread in the US, and right now I am just gluten free and do not eat wheat now. But some health sources I follow recommend milling your own wheat to be a healthier swap. What do you think? If so, do you have a wheat company and mill company to recommend? I think my hesitation is to spend all the money and find that it still bothers my gut

Angela: Hi Dr. Cabral I just completed level 2 & will be starting level 3 soon! I am 48 years old and in the beginning of perimenopause. I have healed from Addisons disease, and I was borerline having scurvy in 2018, (which I believe I did have because I cracked 3 teeth in 2017 and needed root canals). All my numbers look good now. I had 3 incidents last year where my BP was 80/48, while dealing with stress . Is there a way a can support my adrenal glands and hormones in the perimenopause phase to keep my cortisol levels optimal so nothing triggers Addisons again? I also have MTHFR and take all the foundational supplements, plus 50mg of a progesterone troche. I am not taking anything to support my adrenals right now. Also what form of vitamin C would be best for me to incorporate? Thank you

Veronia: Hi! Not every time but most times when I drink alcohol, it feels like something is coming up in my chest, causing a “growl” noise. I have moments where my mouth will water profusely. I have to run to the bathroom almost like I have to throw up but it’s just saliva I’m spitting out. I gag but never throw up. This can happen just after one drink. The next day my chest and esophagus are so sore even water is uncomfortable going down. I have maybe 4 drinks a month. I still want to be able to have a drink. Is there something I can take or do prior to having a drink to help these symptoms? To add I did the Candida, Metabolic and Vitamin test. I have an overgrowth of Arabinose, value of 45. I’m in my 2nd month of the CBO protocol. I had 1 drink as my cheat meal and had symptoms:( Thank you!

Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. Just a few clarifying questions regarding test taking. Prior to taking the Food Sensitivity test, should I eat dairy, gluten, nuts etc? I work part-time, should I take the Stress Mood test on a day that I'm working for accurate cortisol results? And lastly, will you ever offer the stool test in Canada? I tried to purchase it but wasn't able to. Looking forward to your response! Thx!

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:

Celia: I suffer from severe anxiety specifically around driving, being a passenger in a car, crowded places, big stores etc. It all came on all of a sudden and has been around for the last 4 years or so. I also have PCOS and believe I am in perimenopause BUT going to the doctor is a trigger as well. It's even worse in the summer heat. My current hair analysis is on the way to the lab. I have taken 2 before but the practitioner said I needed around 25 different supplements. Money was rolling out the door with no change. What main vitamins do you suggest for someone with PCOS, perimenopause and extreme anxiety? I currently take fulvic, black seed oil, omega 3, vit d3/k2, inositol and magnesium glycinate. Thank you, Celia

Anonymous: I am a natural health practitioner and a very heavy drinker. Talk about feeling like a fraud...Started ~10 yrs ago and gradually increased to 1-2 bottles wine/prosecco or several gin+tonics, bloody marys, etc almost every day for the past five years. It started as a coping mechanism when triggered for past traumas, but then became a habit, and I'm working with a therapist now on the emotional and mind aspects. I need help with the physical. By the time you read this, I am hopeful I will have been sober for 8 weeks. If you were in my shoes, what steps and how long before you would do a FM detox? How else to heal all of the physical trauma placed on not just the liver, but the brain, heart...all of it? Thank you so much for your care in addressing what is often a taboo subject.

Nicholas: Hi Dr Cabral. I need your help! I have synovial chondromatosis in my knee. I have had 2 surgeries within the last 2 years to remove the tumours, however they couldn't remove them all and they are growing back. I live a healthy active lifestyle (gym 3-4 x week, tennis 1 x week, walk dog 7 x week), eat organic when I can, take supps (are glutamine, creatine, collagen, whey protein, Antiaging supp with NR/NMN/resveratrol a problem?) I sauna/cold plunge 2-3 x week. I have recently done your detox. What could be the potential root cause/imbalance? What would you recommend I do (testing, supps, lifestyle) to address my condition?

Sheena: Hi Dr C. Hope you and your team are well. I'm a 46 yo female, 111 lbs, 5 feet w/ a BMI of 21. I'm feeling really overwhelmed and confused as to how to get and stay in shape lately. I'm pretty knowledgeable in the health and fitness world and am pretty healthy but now that Im in perimenopause, I cant tell what's causing what? I've actually gained weight but idk if its becuz I'm in perimenopause? where do I start to stay healthy inside and outside. Im an vata w/ a little kaffa and don't know how to work out for my body anymore. I feel catabolic but at times I feel I can gain weight so easily on my legs. Just so confused at this time in my life as to how to stay healthy because I feel so much is changing hormonally and I cant seem to grasp control or understand what's happening. Help!

Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral, Now that you/EquiLife are unable to provide CBD gummies and your other CBD products, is there a brand you recommend or use personally? Thanks for all you do!

Are you truly getting enough vitamin D, or just assuming you are?

On today’s episode, I explain why vitamin D is far more than just a vitamin, it actually acts like a hormone in the body and plays a critical role in immune health, mood, metabolism, inflammation, and even longevity.

Many people assume they are getting enough from sunlight, but in reality, most individuals still fall below the optimal range.

So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3688 where I share how to identify the most common signs of low vitamin D without testing and what simple steps you can take to support healthy vitamin D levels year-round.

Enjoy the show!

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've been hearing a lot about colostrum lately and it piqued my interest. Can you speak a little about it? Do you use it? Is there a brand you would recommend? Is it safe for anyone? Who should avoid it? Side effects? I take a probiotic everyday, can colostrum replace this?? Looking forward to hearing your response. Thanks in advance!

Frankie: Hi Stephen, My name is Frankie Im 21 years old, and I wanted to follow up from Episode 3382, where you mentioned my symptoms could be connected to gut issues, low vitamin D, magnesium, metals, or GERD. Since then, I followed a strict LPR diet for about two months no gluten, coffee, alcohol, peanuts, oats, onions, garlic, broccoli, beans, etc. My LPR symptoms improved by around 70%, and while I still have some mucus in my throat, its nowhere near as potent as before. During and after the protocol, I focused on rebuilding my gut with some gut-rebuilding supplements and slowly reintroducing foods. Its now been about three months since finishing the protocol, and Ive gained around 14 pounds. I also still deal with loose stool almost every day, which hasnt improved much. Itâ€™s honestly shocked me because Im very dialed in with both my food and workouts, yet the weight gain and digestive changes still happened. I wanted to get your thoughts on what direction to take from here. I havent run the Big 5 protocol since Im based in Canada, and it would end up costing quite a bit more with shipping and exchange rates. Also, I just wanted to mention its surprising how many young people my age are struggling with digestive and gut related issues. Its becoming way too common. Thanks again for all the work you do, and I hope you have a great day I listen to you every morning. Frankie

Gary: Hi Dr. Cabral. Im 49, male & over the last 4 years taken a deep interest in my health. I had cerebral malaria (2003) & as a result developed essential tremor both hands. Listened to 2 podcasts & working on noticeable triggers like ltd caffeine & alcohol. It hasnt got worse, but really is there any way to reverse it? Neurologist says surgery has no guarantee. I would value the truth & if it were your wife what you would do please. So much life ahead ðŸ™ (PS. Partner is an IHP so DESTRESS at the heart of our approach) we want to do EVERYTHING we can. Thank you

Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - so excited about your new Pea Protein, got great feedback from the support team, however would love your response. Pea Protein safe for kids? Since DNS is I would approach it in same way, Dr. AI says generally kids get enough from food so not recommendedâ€¦ Do you give this to your daughters in same way you have it? Ie a little more protein in smoothies *daily* or just in baked goods like pancakes occasionally. Thank you! Happy holidays

Anonymous: What are some ways to improve gut motility, I'm already on a supplement program and ginger tea. Any thoughts on massage abdominal, hot stones, any other physical techniqes?

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…

Gaby: Hello! Hope your having a great day. I searched your podcast for something on birth defects, but didn't find a lot. Can you tell me what causes birth defects (besides genetics) and how to prevent them (even with genetics). And if I have MTHFR, should I be concerned about using 1020 mcg of L-5MTHF? I heard that that amount can build up in the body even with this form. I'm using a prenatal with that amount and I'm hoping to become pregnant next year.

Derrick: Hi there. My dad is on dialysis and needs to have a kidney transplant. I would love him to see a FM doctor but at 71, the approach feels completely foreign. Please can you help with any diet/supplement recommendations / foundations that could support him. The smallest tips that provide the biggest impact would be so appreciated.

Dana: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listened to your review of the Neuropod. I was wondering if you measured the emf’s? And what level were they? Thank you, Dana

Mohamed: Good day Dr.Cabral, appreciate all the work you do and the entire Equilife team. Thanks for everything. My question is regarding IOP pressure. Laser eye surgery due to “drainage” was mentioned however it seems like it’s more for “preventative purposes”. However the alternative mentioned was a 20-30% risk of developing acute glaucoma. Her IOP is normal for now… no other alternatives were suggested. I feel like they are jumping to laser eye surgery (risk).. thoughts? Any other tips for eye health in general, nutrition supplements.. etc. I know you mentioned Lutin before. Thanks

Sarah: I heard you mention that you add psyllium husk to your shake every day. I am starting to add psyllium husk to my diet, but I am wondering about timing. I read that you should take psyllium one hour before or two hours after any supplements as it can combine with certain nutrients and reduce absorption. If you add the psyllium to your shake with the DNS Powder, does that not reduce absorption of any of the nutrients? I just started taking it and have been careful to take it away from my supplements, but it would be much easier to just take with my shake or meal. I really appreciate your help!

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. I appreciate everything that you do for the community! My question is about heart palpitations for someone in perimenopause. I notice them only slightly during the day but it seems they really ramp up in the evening. In addition, my energy plummets and I feel incredibly tired and foggy headed. I've had my hormone levels checked and everything seems fine, so I'm wondering if you have any thoughts on what I should check next. My gut tells me maybe I should look into cortisol, but I also know it could be one or multiple other factors. I appreciate your thoughts.

Whitney: Curious about your perspective on various medspa type aesthetic treatments like collagen tightening (usually via radio frequency/ heating deeper layers of tissue), lasers for skin dark spots or resurfacing, PRP micro needling, or at home micro needling? Wondering if these will have other damaging side effects etc? Thanks !!

Whitney: What are your thoughts on tattoo removal ? I was thinking about getting some tattoos removed but wasn’t sure if I could detox my way out of all the harmful side effects since I guess my body would have to do something with that ink that is removed ? Or is it just as harmful as is it now in my skin ? Thanks !

Jodi: Hello, I am scheduled to have an MRI with a gadolinium based contrast this Friday. The reason for it is two-fold. 1) They want to look at my pancreas. My recent blood work shows I have very high Lipase at 232 U/L and High Amylase at 118 U/L. I don't have any symptoms indicating pancreas issues. My Lipase was also high in blood work 6 months previously and has continued to climb. 2) Follow up scan for polycystic liver disease (well over 100 cysts on my liver) as well as a solid lesion on my liver which was believed to be benign when it was discovered about 7 years ago. Now I am beginning to panic as I have read that the metal from the dye cannot fully be detoxed. Is there another option for the dye? have more to say but not enough characters in this email.

Rebecca: Hi Dr Cabral I had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic that caused me to loose consciousness probably at least 30 times or more and in between losing consciousness I would yell in pain because my whole body went into spasms. My brain was starving for oxygen so it started taking the oxygen from the muscles because my body started shutting down. I have had brain fog really bad since it happened 2 months ago. Is there anything I can do about the brain fog? 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:

Lauren: Hi Dr Cabral, I want to start by thanking you for all you do! I love listening to your podcasts and have learned so much. I had surgery 15 years ago to fix a labrum tear and within the last year I started experiencing pain again. I had a scope done and found out the suture rubbed the cartilage off my shoulder joint (this probably isn’t the correct medical terminology) and now I’m experiencing bone-on-bone pain. I was told there wasn’t anything I could do unless I replaced my shoulder. I’m working on fixing my gut and will then do a liver detox. Other than working on inflammation, what else can you recommend?

Ann: quick question - what are your thoughts on banding internal hemroids? I recently had a colonoscopy for gut issues and in their report mentioned the hemroids i knew I had but also that they band them at their clinic. I never heard of this - I'd love to get rid of them as they are uncomfortable and messy. They say it's uninvasive and low risk but I don't always trust what the medical field has to say - just wondering what your thoughts are. Thank you for your time! :) and for all the help you give your followers.

Audrey: Hi Dr Cabral, I know to get adequate morning sunlight I shouldn’t be wearing glasses, but what about contacts? Am I still getting the healthy benefits of sunlight with wearing contact lenses? Thanks so much

Anonymous: I was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus a year ago after getting an EDG through my GI doctor. He told me I'd need to be on PPIs for the rest of my life. This terrifies me...but I've tried to come off of them before and it's really uncomfortable. I generally understand how PPIs work and now acid will flood the body when you come off of them, and that it takes time but I've tried and can't make it past several weeks...what would you recommend?

Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, I’m curious to know your thoughts on this product. Brottrunk, a trusted German product for 36 years, is made from 100% organic, freshly baked sourdough bread (spring water, whole grain bread (WHOLE RYE FLOUR, water, WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR, natural sourdough (WHOLE RYE FLOUR, water), salt, WHOLE OAT FLOUR)). The bread is sliced, soaked in spring water, and fermented for six months. This process produces lactic acid and beneficial lactic acid bacteria, creating a drink rich in enzymes, vitamin B12, minerals, and amino acids. Brottrunk supposedly supports a normal immune system and energy metabolism, and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. It may also have cleansing, detoxifying, and antifungal effects, making it an excellent probiotic supplement for digestion.

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.

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

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?

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:

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!
