Hidden just under your skin lies an intricate network of vessels that is more than double the size of your arteries and veins, however no blood is pumped through this system...
Instead, this system is often referred to as the "garbage disposal or trash collector" of the body because its job is to sweep out toxins, kill viruses, and safely transport them out of the body...

Sometimes the best and only way to accomplish the goals you set for yourself is to literally get out of your own way...
I find that many of us are the roadblock to achieving our goals due to self-sabotaging actions (or non-action) and self-limiting beliefs that hold us back from doing what we know will ultimately bring us greater joy in our life...

We're back with our 2nd edition of the Cabral HouseCall and we have 5 more community questions to answer today!
Here are those questions:
Nikki: Hi there! First, thank you so much this podcast. I live in LA and I actually look forward to driving so I can get some uninterrupted listening time in. I really appreciate you spreading your knowledge on wellness and also really enjoy the spiritual tones many of your podcasts take. I'm just so happy I found you and I tell friends/family about you often. My question: I recently had to give my 8 month antibiotics for an ear infection. While I really didn't want to (as I've heard you say and also believe they should be taken more in a life threatening situation), the scared mother in me did as I didn't want it to turn into something else with her being so young. My question is, what can I do now to help her. She's on solid foods a couple times a day. Sweet potato, peas, bananas, etc. And in the same vain, how do you handle situations with your children as far as what they eat with other family members or parties where treats and soda are flowing like crazy! My 3 year old eats healthy at home but loves treats when we're out.
Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a physical therapist who works with patients with pelvic pain and pelvic floor disorders. Many of them also have chronic constipation. I know that unless their constipation resolves they will not get better due to the pressure on the pelvic floor and also increased inflammation. I am constantly referring my patients to functional medicine but they rarely follow through because of the cost. So instead, I have started making my own recommendations based on my own research. I advise them to take magnesium glycinate and vitamin C powder to soften the stool. This has been very effective. I may also recommend a probiotic. If they are willing to take it a step further I will instruct them in an elimination diet to look for food sensitivities. I know it is preferable to treat the underlying cause, but I know that if I do not get their bowels moving quickly, any work I do to relax and strengthen their pelvic floor is futile. Any advice for me as a practitioner trying to help my patients?
Christine: Hello, I really enjoy the Cabral Concept and listen regularly. I am hoping you can discuss MTHFR. I have recently found that i have homogeneous MTHFR and wondering if supplements work( L5 MTHF and Ultra b12 folate ) and how long will i need to take them? Thanks, Chris
Michele: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am so happy to have found your podcast, and thank you for all that you do, including answering questions that everyone sends in. I have hemrhorids. I can manage them with OTC products, but I just wish I didn't have to. I eat lots of fruits and vegetables and fiber. I drink a lot of water and nothing else except a cup of coffee in the late morning/early afternoon. Limit my alcohol to events only. I exercise 3/4 days a week. I take extra magnesium. I'm not sure what else I can do. At what point to I go to a dr to fix this ?? Thank you! Michele
Patrick: Is there an advantage to the type of protein you're taking? I know pea protein is popular (and other vegan varieties) but many health/fitness articles say whey is the protein of choice. Does it really matter? In the end does your body just synthesize protein? Thanks!
Thank you for tuning into another week of the Cabral Concept and I can't wait to talk with you again tomorrow on our Motivation & Mindset Monday!

I'm really looking forward to this weekend's HouseCalls because we've upped our Q&A to 5 questions per show!
Check out today's community questions:
CC: Hi Stephen, what are your thoughts on mammograms and the titanium marker clips? Thanks always for your inspiring podcasts!
Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral - I recently heard that Radon is super poisonous and responsible for many illnesses. What are your thoughts? is it worth it to buy a radon detector for my home?
Michele: Hello again Dr. Cabral! Me again! I was wondering what your opinion is on getting a flu shot. I have never gotten one and have mixed feelings about it. I am almost 47 and healthy and cannot even tell you the last time I had the flu let alone a cold. Just curious to know your thoughts. If you have already addressed this subject, please just respond to this with the podcast number. Thanks as always for your selfless time and energy you put into helping others! So grateful! Be well, Michelle
Rebekah: Hi there, I'm interested in the Genetic DNA Wellness Package, but I have a few questions. One - Do the results cover what would be in all of the other targeted packages (Omega-3, Hormone, etc.)? Two - Would it be possible to submit to insurance for coverage?
Michael: Hello Dr. Cabral, My name is Michael from Alberta Canada. Thank you for your encouragement and your great content! My question is actually for my grandmother. She has recently become very ill because of what has been called liver failure from apparently drinking in excess. She has been told that there is basically no solution for fixing her liver and she has met with a dietitian who has prescribed her a low salt diet and to avoid drinking anything anymore. If she doesn't drink and her condition improves then she may be able to have a partial liver transplant in the future. Though unlikely. Is there a diet that could help speed up her recovery and any supplements or other protocols that she could follow. You said on episode 360 that little by little people can recover from anything, they just need some hope. I just hope this is true in my grandmothers case. Thank you again for all you do. All the best
I hope you enjoyed the show and be sure to tune back in tomorrow when I answer another 5 community questions!

Enjoy the Q&A and all the tips added along the way - Let's get started:
Anonymous: Hi Stephen, how do you go about getting rid of mold based issues and what if you constantly live in a mold based environment? P.s. catching up on all the great podcasts noticed you changed the intro music, preferred the old one but as always great, great podcasts!! :)
Marie: Hello Dr. Cabral! I love your podcast and am so grateful for the way you share your knowledge so freely, as well as your heart to help people! I was wondering if you have read the new book, "Eat Wheat: A Scientific and Clinically-Proven Approach to Safely Bringing Wheat and Dairy Back Into Your Diet" by John Douillard? As someone who has been off of wheat and dairy for years now (and go to great measures to keep my 3 children and husband away from it as well), I was skeptical of the title. But after reading the summary and the many rave reviews on amazon, I feel inclined to read it. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it! Thank you, Marie
Ava: Hi Stephen! Keep up the good work - I love your podcasts. Please can you tell me what podcasts you listen to and recommend? I'm interested to hear what inspires you as you inspire me! Thanks x
Susan: Hi, My 4 year old won't stop biting her nails to the point they are very sore. Please can you advise how I can help her? I've tried the stuff that tastes horrible but that didn't work, rewards etc. I don't know why she does it; usually when bored or nervous sometimes excited. Any advice would be most welcome! Thanks

Tricia: Hi Stephen, I have this fingernail-size lump/nodule on the back of my heel. It's been there for a couple weeks, no redness but is painful to touch.

Rose: Hi Stephen, first off I would like to thank you for all information you give out freely! Love your podcasts ! Great job! I have been with an holistic dr for awhile treating my bouts with vertigo , I do Accupuncture and cupping and at the same time she has given me supplements, have you heard of isotonix?

Green juices and powders are one of the most popular nutritional supplements on the market right now and for a very good reason...
They pack 2-3 servings of fruit & vegetables plus all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients that come along with them!
This makes them an excellent addition to most people's supplement cabinet and a potential life saver when it comes to reducing inflammation, hormone imbalances, joint pain, low energy/mood, poor skin, and other health ailments...
The problem is that not all green juice powders are created equal. Some are loaded with fillers like inulin and chopped grasses, while other contain too many artificial sweeteners...

I don't know if you've ever had to suffer any hardship or overcome any health issues in your life, but what I can say is that eventually the ebb & flow of life catches up with all of us...
This can come in the form of a sick parent, auto-immune issues, disease, weight issues, or feeling depressed...
The real problem is that most of us believe that the issues we suffer from our completely unique to us and that no one knows what we're going through...
This can then lead to an even deeper state of frustration, anger, anxiety, and hopelessness...
There is an answer though, and it comes in the form of how you choose to frame your current situation and in the choices you make when looking for solutions to your problems...

Welcome back to our 2nd House Call of the weekend where I answer your questions on all things wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging!
Here are today's Q&A's:
Deborah: I am interested in your weight loss testing kit. I am currently on HRT. How long would I need to stop HRT before I take the test to find out what my true levels are? Thanks in advance, Deborah
Nadim: I am sure you asked this question all the time, but is it possible to heal disc herniations? There is a lot of contradictory information on this subject and I really do not know what to believe. More specifically I have a large central posterior disc herniation between L4/L5 that originally resulted in significant referred pain in my feet. I have had the injury for about 3 years, but more recently the pain has improved since returning to the gym, however, I do not know if I am doing the right things, please advise. My gym routine involves back extensions (weighted), pull ups and kettle bell squats with my feet very close to a wall to ensure proper form. I also occasionally do some deadlifting (60kg). I have also increased the amount of water I consume and supplement with omega 3, vegetal silica, Xtend Life total balance multi vitamins, and Bio Kult probiotics. What advice can you give to help further improve my situation or heal my disc injury? Exercise, nutrition, sleeping position and type of bed? Finally, it is worth mentioning that although my injury seems to have improved to the point that I now only get a little referred pain intermittently during the day, I always seem to have some when getting out of bed in a morning. I assume this is because I can’t control my posture when sleeping?
Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral! My question is in regards to Vitamin C. I've heard that Sodium Ascorbate is a better form of vitamin C to take than Ascorbic Acid. Is this true? Sodium Ascorbate is quite a bit more expensive, so I'm hoping it isn't! Thank you!
Bryn: Lyme Disease Dr. Cabral - Can't say enough how much the information you put out each day has helped me. Even if the topic isn't something I am specifically dealing with - I am fascinated and interested in learning as much as I can. I really do believe you are providing a service that can help so many people. I recommend you to whomever I can.....but I think it is going to take a lot of work to break down the misinformation that has plagued us for years from the various food and supplement companies and media. Please keep up your amazing contribution to society. ***My Question is for a friend's husband who is suffering from Lyme Disease. He has apparently tried everything available to him, but here in Canada Lyme Disease is not really regarded as a true health issue, unlike in the US where it's my understanding that it is. What is your recommendation for someone suffering from Lyme?? Thank you!
I hope you enjoyed today's Q&A and all the tips added in along the way!

Today we have 3 amazing questions from the community, so without further ado let's get right into them!
Mel: Hi Dr C! (I'm trying this again hopefully it reaches you)! Juat wanted your tips for pregnant diet and exercise. Lots of conflicting message out there. For example what do you think about probiotics, cod liver oil, preg supplements, greens powders, smoothies, iron, protein ... to name a few. Any wisdom is appreciated. PS. Your work rocks. Thank you :)
MN: Greetings! Thank you for all you do. I've struggled with Bacterial Vaginosis for at least 6 years. I've been pregnant, but it was ectopic. I have also been told after an exam that I have non-cancerous, abnormal cells on my cervix. About 6 days after intercourse (condoms and all) my vaginal flora changes and I get symptoms. No odor, just a change in discharge. Have you been able to cure anyone? Most ladies who suffer from this have only found temporary relief. Any insights would be awesome.
Caitriona: Hi Dr Cabral, I have just recently found your podcast and I really enjoy listening to it. It's to hear such a variety of topics and great information on a daily podcast. I suffer from rosacea on my nose . It can be quite red and ugly looking at times. It was fine for years but has flared up quite badly a few months ago. My diet is healthy, I am hydrated, I have lots of veg, lots of green leafy green veg, good quality protein and gluten free. Is there any natural treatment available to help this condition apart from having to take antibiotics. Do you know of any suplements or food regimen that might help improve it in any way. I would appreciate any suggestions or advice. Thank you. And thanks for all the advice given so freely on your show. Regards, Caitriona ( listening from Ireland)

The 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend is here!
Today, we have some amazing community questions that are completely different from yesterday's show...
Check them out now and be sure to tune in for the answers!
Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a couple issues that I'm struggling with: hair loss and cystic acne/congested skin. I'm a woman in my 40's and have been seeing a functional medicine doctor for several years. She helped me diagnose sibo and candida overgrowth, which were causing my digestive issues. I also have low ferritin and slightly low testosterone and DHEA. I now have the digestive issues under control; however, I'm still struggling with acne and hair loss. I had great results with my skin clearing up and normalizing (less oily) while on spironolactone but my doctor wanted me to go off it back when we were still diagnosing my issues. What are your thoughts on the use of spironolactone? Is it safe to take? I hate the idea of taking it but I hate my skin even more right now. I've also heard spironolactone can help with hair loss. I'm currently taking saw palmetto and if that doesn't help with the hair loss then she may have me try DHEA supplements too but said there can be some risk in that if we don't get the dosage just right. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have suffered from digestive-based issues as long as I can remember. When I was a child I remember being hospitalized due to chronic constipation because I couldn't even walk! From there, I have had bouts of both constipation and diarrhea that last for years at a time. For the past 4 and a half years I have dealt with chronic constipation - I can easily go 5 days without a bowel movement, which is extremely distracting because I have a lot of bloating, distention and sharp pain. I found a functional medicine practitioner who ran some tests to discover I am slightly sensitive to casein, whey, egg whites and wheat, so I have since removed those foods. My thyroid panel looked fine despite my morning body temperature being low for years. A stool test revealed I had a parasitic infection (Giardia) which we treated, and after running the test again after treatment, he discovered I had low SigA and H, Pylori. He put me on a treatment plan of adaptogenic herbs to manage stress and L-glutamine to build up my intestinal lining, but we did not address the H. Pylori. He did also mention candida being present (which makes sense because I have recurring vaginal yeast infections), which we did not address either. My symptoms have not reduced, and I still have pain and discomfort and fullness in the bowels after eating. I have survived the past few years with many tears, digestive enzymes before meals, senna tea (almost every night, which I know is not good for me) and very high doses of magnesium citrate to produce regular bowel movements (which I know is throwing off the balance of my body and is potentially very dangerous). I eat a mostly plant-based diet, tons of vegetables, chew my food well, drink 3 L of water every day, live an active lifestyle (HIIT workouts mostly) avoid gluten, now avoid sugar and alcohol, and do "all the right things" including trying my best to get my stress in check. Dr. Cabral, what do you recommend I do next? I lack the money to keep paying for tests and supplements that yield no results. I just want to be sure I am spending in the right direction. I am committed to my recovery and follow every plan correctly; I just cant figure out what I am doing wrong. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my truncated story and answer my question. I love your podcast; I listen every morning and can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us all. Be well, Andrea First I want to say thank you for sharing your podcast and all of the guidance you have given to me and so many others. I cannot tell you how much I truly appreciate it.
Lindsey: Message: Hi Stephen Just wondering how much I should change my trainers (sneakers) if following a mixture of residence/ interval training 6 days a week as suggested by yourself ! I often get pain at the heel/ bottom of the foot on one side and I'm wondering if it's because of the shoes. I have about 10 pairs I rotate. X
Mari: Dr. Cabral, Several months ago my 9 year-old daughter was tested for food sensitivities via Igg test. She was found to be mildly allergic to gluten, dairy and eggs, which we immediately eliminated from her diet and all her GI symptoms went away. Huge relief! However, we also had our 3 year old son tested, although he had no GI, behavioral or other issues, we simply wanted to make sure he has no sensitivities like his sister's. To our shock his gluten, gliadin, dairy, eggs levels were off the chart, with mild citrus and almonds/cashews thrown in. Right away we eliminated all the culprits from his diet and surprisingly, he now has some skin irritation and often some mild GI symptoms, although it has been 3 months since we eliminated all the offending foods... Could it be that he is still sensitive to something that Igg test did not catch and would you recommend a better test (ALCAT ?) or repeat the same Igg test in a few months? I am really at loss, since we eat organic, non GMO foods and I feel like he was doing so much better before the initial test. Thank you for your help!
I hope you enjoyed the Q&A and all the tips along the way!
