Mold is one of the top 5 stealth pathogens that affect people's health without them even realizing it's at the root cause of their dis-ease… Mold spores are mainly invisible to the naked eye and it's usually only uncovered after removing ventilation, drywall, or looking at the top mold causing foods… It's one of the reasons why I like to bring attention to the topic and share real-world, case studies like today's #CabralConcept 2218 on mold toxicity and how it often shows up as low mood, low energy, and high levels of inflammation - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2218 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

While we may be able to keep people alive longer thanks to medical technology we are certainly not improving people's quality of life. This means that people are being diagnosed with diseases at younger and younger ages every year and most people are on a cocktail of medications by the time they reach their 50s. So for essentially half of an adult's life they will be medicated for a chronic condition that could most likely have been mitigated by implementing certain lifestyle factors that no one ever shared with them. That's why and today's #CabralConcept 2217 I'd like to share with you what the research shows for why most people are unwell and unhappy - hopefully you get some knowledge out of the show and share with anyone you believe it could help! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2217 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

As an Integrative Health Practitioner it's interesting to see how a person's digestive system influences so many aspects of their health… Although it may not seem obvious at first the gut and digestion actually affect the brain (and entire body) even though they are two separate entities… And on today's #CabralConcept 2216, based on the latest research-backed up by clinical practice, I'd like to share with you how brain fog and the gut connection are linked - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2216 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

Finding happiness in our lives shouldn't be an unsolved mystery we walk through life trying to uncover… What I've come to realize over the years is that peace and happiness are within our reach, but unfortunately the attainment of them is not taught in school or in our Western culture… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 2215 I'd like to share with you my learnings on how to create a life you love using these 7 steps - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought or if you would add any other steps. - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2215 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

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… Let's get started! Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I am looking to improve my immune defenses against a 'certain virus' and am concerned that my white blood cell count is sub-optimal (4,000/ul) despite my otherwise good health. I suspect this may be a hangover from having VERY low WBC levels after contracting dengue fever 5 years ago. Is increasing my WBC something I should be exploring and what can I do to get my count up? Lorena: Thank you so much for all you do for your community! Not sure if you remember but I asked here a few weeks ago regarding my elevated heart rate at night according to my Oura ring and that I started to experience a lot of neurological symptoms (similar to MCAS) such as anxiety, heart palpitations and pseudoseizures at the same time. You mentioned that I should check my cortisol levels at night (which I did and was slightly elevated in the PM and low in the AM). I'm a Vata level 1 and 2 IHP so I literally ran all of the labs that you can imagine as I was very confused as to what was going on. Hormones, heavy metals, stool, OAT, neurotransmitters + more. Everything was fine except some candida/mould overgrowth as well as elevated toxic metals. I started the CBO again (last one was over a year ago) + heavy metal detox + 21 day detox all at the same time lol. Anyways, I haven't felt any neurological symptoms after just a couple of days of starting these protocols. I can't figure out how this would have happened. Surely 2 days worth of protocols is not enough to stop these symptoms (very happy though). Any idea why? Lorena: Hi Doc, me again! I forgot to mention that I also ran a precision allergy test by Precision Point Diagnostics because they test IgE, IgG, IgG4 and complement (C3d) from blood serum. It's much more expensive so not very affordable for a lot of people. Anyways, a lot of things came up and I also eliminated the ones in the red section of my IgE and IgG (vanilla, banana & more) at the same time that I started all the protocols. A lot of them showed in the IgE section and these were foods that I was consuming on a daily basis when I was having all of those symptoms. Do you think it might have been the removal of these foods that caused the relief of symptoms so quickly? If so, it's crazy how consuming foods you're sensitive to from an IgE and IgG perspective can do to you! I always thought this wasn't a big deal but it clearly is. Nina: Hi doctor Cabral, I get very lightheaded every time I bend down to pick up something. Do you know why this is happening? I do have a low blood pressure, so maybe that could have something to do with it, but I really want to know if there's anything else that could be causing it. I also always feel cold, especially in my extremities. Just to give you some background, I'm a 44 year old female, no kids, vegan and pretty active. Thanks so much for your answer, I really appreciate your help! Nina Farrel: Hello, Dr Cabral. I trust you and your family are in great health. Listening to older episodes and about two years ago on a House call segment you were asked about Tongkat Ali and it's use for athletes and men in their 30's. You went on to say there's a product your team will be launching around September 2020 called Libido Booster. I purchase from the site and I've never seen it. Has the launch been put on hold or it won't be released? Keep up great work. Andjela: Hello Dr!! Thanks for your information! Love following you on Instagram. I had covid (delta) in October 2021, and now 3 months later experiencing hair loss. So are many of my relatives who all had it at the same time. Any suggestions on remedies? Danielle: Hello Dr. Cabral,Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in functional medicine. I've read your book twice and have no doubt I'll read it again. I listen to this podcast daily and am awaiting the arrival of the minerals and metals test. My question is related to IIH. (I understand the medical advice disclaimer) Are there any natural ways to reduce pressure in the head? I do not want a LP. How else can I reduce excess fluid? I do take L-Lysine and well as a long list of other supplements daily. I'm also taking Goduchi and Triphala as herbal support and am on 2 pharmaceuticals as well, which Id love to come off of, safely, of course. Thanks so much for your time.

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: Savanna: Thanks dr cabral for sharing your message! My question today has to do with studying functional medicine. Because I am a young mom I don't really have the time or resources to go to school to become a functional medicine dr. I'm wondering where you would suggest to start if that is ultimately my goal. I've looked into IHP a little bit and also the institute of integrative nutrition. I want something I can be certified in that I can help people and they'll take me seriously. I hope one day to get a higher education but for now what would you suggest would be a good place to start that would take less than 4 years to see results and be able to work with? Hope that makes senses thanks again! Thien: Over the years from your podcast, I've learned the importance of omega 3s. I have high triglycerides and I also have POTS. I've noticed a connection of being light headed anytime I take a fish oil supplement . I'm not sure if it thins the blood or causes your blood pressure to become lower but I seem to not be able to tolerate any brand (adult or kids dosage ). Is this common? I know every doctor will throw omega 3s or statins as a means to lower cholesterol but it isn't working for me . What can I do to lower triglycerides that don't involve a supplement (I've tried most without success ; bergamot , Guggul , RYE)? I exercise , eat clean, and sleep well. I'm also premenopausal, so I don't know if this is a reason for my sudden high triglycerides . Thank you so much! In good health Jessica: Hi! I'm writing in about my 5 year old son who has a chronic cough. This is something that has been going on since he was very young. I'd love to hear what your thoughts are on "neurological chronic cough", to see if this is a possibility of what is going on with him and what your recommendations would be from a natural / Ayurvedic perspective. Thank you! Tina: My sweet cousin is a long hauler. Months later she still has no taste and smell. Is this symptom not going away because of her rain barrel maybe being full? Is there anything she can do to get it back? Thank you so much!! Kenzie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm not sure if you can answer this or have any ideas but I have gotten no answers from my doctors. I have noticed I get nauseous after workouts. Not immediately after but later on or even days after. I was nauseous a ton last year, stopped working out for a few months and it went away. Back to working out and it's back. It almost feels like vertigo nausea. It's all in the head. I feel fine during the workout and all I am doing is light weights and walking. Any ideas or things I should test for? I am positive for h pylori. Thank you. Mariana: Why do I get night sweats when I eat sugar?

I'm a fan of fasting. I'm also a fan of working out. However, combining fasting and working out at the same time has its pros and cons… Some people will receive tremendous benefits while others will become run down, burned out, and begin to age faster… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 2211 I'd like to share with you the details on fasted workouts by body type and who should and who shouldn't be doing them - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2211 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

It seems every year there's a new popular diet that pops up and causes that much more confusion in the health & wellness space… But in reality, there are really only 9 different diets with many different variations that branch off of them… So on today's #CabralConcept 2210, I'd like to share with you the 9 different diets and which one is right for you - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2210 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

Never let your doctor tell you that you have a disease that can't be undone… At one point in your life you most likely didn't have it, and if that's the case why can't you go back to that state of health? Or better? Auto-immune dis-eases are no different and once you begin to understand the root cause and how to get back to health you just need to follow the protocols and systems… On today's #CabralConcept 2209 I'd like to share with you why all auto-immune diseases are fixable and how to go about bringing your body back into balance - Enjoy the show and let us know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2209 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

Most people set one alarm every single day… And if you're like most people that is the alarm that wakes you up out of your slumber to jump into the day… This is actually my least important alarm of the day (I explain why) and it's one that I would begin to rethink… Besides that, I have 5 others that I believe everyone should set and on today's #CabralConcept 2208 I share what they are, at what times, and why I set them - Enjoy the show and let me know if you set any of your own! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2208 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

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… Let's get started! Solina: Hi Dr. Cabral! Female in my late 20s. I grew up running (and love it) and I've had to stop because of horomone (low progesterone) and adrenal issues. I've worked with a IHP health coach, following a protocol of adrenal soothe, lower impact workouts (resistance, weights, walking) but I really miss running. For context, I like semi-long distance at 5-8 miles, but whenever I run (even 2-3 miles) I get exhausted. Any suggestions on how I can get back to running at least 1-2x per week? It also helps me lose weight much more seamlessly than strength. Thank you!! Tina: Hello and thank you for everything you do for us! This year I would love to go to a wellness, retreat center somewhere in the United States that incorporates pretty much everything that you believe. Do you know of a place or can you recommend a place to go to that can assist me in my health journey? Also have you ever considered hosting a retreat, wellness week or weekend? If you did I definitely would attend. Thank you so much! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have struggled many years with chronic constipation, trapped gas, and bloating. I have seen several "specialists" and received CT scans, x-rays, colonoscopies, etc. only to have them shrug their shoulders. During the imaging, doctors noticed several areas that appeared to be scar tissue and always asked if I had "been shot" or had abdominal surgery, neither of which I have. Dietary intervention has helped with additional post prandial symptoms, but the symptoms prevail nonetheless. My question is with regard to abdominal adhesions, or scar tissue, without having had surgery. I understand this is common following intra abdominal procedures, but am curious as to how it could develop on its own. Is it possibly a result of spending years being constantly bloated and distended? For some context, I am 27, workout daily, and seem to manage stress well through my day-to-day. I am currently awaiting results from the Complete Gut Bacteria & Parasite test. Also, I have been seeing a physical therapist for over a year that specializes in visceral manipulation and lymphatic flow and they are certain the scar tissue is the culprit. Their treatments have helped but not entirely resolved issues. Sorry for the lengthy question, and I truly appreciate and value your response. Pauline: Hello Dr Cabral, I had severe endometriosis before and had surgery to remove them including 2 big chocolate cysts and a whole lot of adhesions in my pelvic region. Now, I even lost one tube and it looks like my other ovary is stucked to my uterus. It may be due to endo again or scar tissues from 2 surgeries. My other ovary has chocolate cyst again - found out after my 2nd ivf procedure....which failed. I came across serrapeptase as a supplement to clear blocked tubes. I am wondering if this can help with adhesions and chocolate cycts too? Age is catching up on me and I can't wait to be a mother. Have been trying for a few years without avail. I am looking forward to your reply. Hopeful, Pauline Sam: Hi doctor Cabral,What do you think about earthing sheets? I live in a big city and can't really go barefoot on a daily - or even a weekly base, so sleeping on one of those sheets sounds like a great solution. Before investing in it, I wanted to hear your opinion because I trust your judgement and knowledge greatly. Can't wait to hear your thoughts about it! Thank you! Sam Sylvia: Hi doctor Cabral, First of all, thank you for this incredible podcast. I'm learning so much about my health, it's incredible! Secondly, I wanted to tell you that one positive thing that these difficult past two years have brought me, is that I have more time to walk. My average step count for the last year has been whopping 19500, which is incredible(!!). I haven't lost a huge amount of weight, but I feel amazing and am in the best shape of my life. Now that we are getting back to the normal schedules, I won't be able to walk as much, so I'm a bit concerned that I'm going to gain weight and not feel as great. What do you think? How bad will it be to get back to my normal 10K? And how many steps should I try to take in order to keep my great results from the past two years? Thank you! You are amazing!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral- First I would like to thank you for everything you do. You have educated me so much and changed my life for the better. I have a three year old daughter who was diagnosed with febrile seizures at the age of two. If she catches a virus or infection at school (very common) and gets a fever to spike quickly she can have a febrile seizure. Fevers as low as 101 can cause these. While terrifying when they are happening we have been told around 5% of children have this condition and they typically go away around age 5 or 6 and is nothing to be worried about. The pediatrician and neurologist have told us this. When these fevers occur we spend one to two days constantly giving her Tylenol and motrin to bring the fever down. We are constantly testing the temperature and if it gets above 99, it causes us great anxiety that a seizure is coming. I am looking for what the root causes could be here to try and prevent them from occurring and how to possibly bring the fever down without constantly pumping her with drugs. Basically if this was your daughter what would you do? Based on what I have learned from you there has to be a root cause here and some type of action we can take. Victoria: Hi Dr Cabral. I tend to eats lots of raw nuts like Almonds and seeds I'm very active and it doesn't makes me fats I eat very healthy No sugar takes al the vitamins from your practice But I'm wondering if Therese is something I'm missing Thank you Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to get your thoughts on how to effectively identify the root cause and reduce high uric acid. I had a Uric acid level of over 10 and made some lifestyle changes including losing 50lbs, reducing alcohol intake and taking tart cherry extract to reduce it. I was only able to reduce it to 9.6 so my doctor put me on Allopurinol as he said since I have had a gout attack (one time) it should test below 6 to avoid future attacks. He told me that sometimes the medication is the only thing that can keep this to below 6 due to genetic disposition. I wanted to get your thoughts on how to reduce this naturally and/or ID what is causing this. What would you do if you were faced with this situation? I don't want to be on this medication for the rest of my life and I figured there had to be something naturally I could do or at least try. Thanks! Trevor: Dr Cabral sir, My name is Trevor and I am one of your IHP students currently healing my body. I was just told I need to put in a lift in my shoe due to hip displacement and believed to be the length of my legs. I did fracture my growth plate in my ankle when I was 17, and I am now 32. Is there anyway for my body to heal back to normal and not need the lift? Thank you very much Sage: Hi doctor Cabral, I am very health conscious and try to eat clean and organic food most of the time. To my horror, I discovered that the supplement that I've been using for a few months contained Titanium Dioxide, which is apparently unsafe and can cause cancer. Do you know if this is correct? It's said to be accumulating in the body tissues and I really want to get it out of my body ASAP. What would be the best way to do this? Thanks so much for your help! Love your podcast, keep up the amazing work! Sage Molly: Hi doctor Cabral, I have an important question for you: I have been a vegan for about 10 years now, and I'll be honest - I'm doing it more for health benefits, rather than the ethical/environmental ones. Lately, I've been thinking about maybe adding fish and or eggs tp my diet, in order to boost the omega 3', choline, B12 protein and other nutrients naturally, rather than using the supplements. It's really difficult to make this decision though, as being vegan has become a bit of an identity for me and I've built a business and some great relationships because of it. I'm afraid of losing that if I'm no longer considered "vegan". In your professional opinion, what would you advise? Staying fully vegan or adding eggs/fish once a week. I know it's a difficult question, but my health is very important to me and there are few people I trust more than you when it comes to the health advice. I can't wait to hear your thoughts and I'm grateful for you and all you do!

None of us are getting any younger (chronologically), but did you know that if you can decrease oxidative stress (free radicals) you can actually grow younger biologically?

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… Let's get started! Nycole: Hi Dr Cabral, I love the podcast and your positive energy, thank you for all your work!I have spots on my skin called CARP, confluent and reticulated papillomatosis. I have had them for 3 years, wondering where it comes from and what to do about it. I eat a mostly paleo diet and recently strictly gluten free due to celiac. Thanks! Rebecca: I'm looking for information on an elevated secretory IGa, my results were >6000 Anti-Gliiadin IgA was >500 Occult blood 77 I had a gi map test completed by a different company and I don't feel like they understood the results. I'm concerned about celiac and will start removing gluten from my diet. And get a FOBT from PCP. Just looking for more insight on the elevated IgAs Thank You so very much, I have spent a small fortune and don't feel like I got the best support or answers to my labs. The health coach said she had never seen such high IgA,s before As well I'm enrolled in the IHP 1&2 program, just signed up 2 weeks ago. Maria: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have a question in regards to vitamin D levels. I have had my levels tested 4 times over the last 9 months. I can't get my levels to budge from 30-35. I was supplementing with 5000 IU of the EquiLife drops and then bumped up to 10000 IU two months before my last test, but to no avail. I have listened to your podcast on the cofactors for vitamin D absorption many times. I use the DNS powder daily, so I'm getting all the other vitamins and minerals you mention in that podcast that are required for absorption. I had been taking my vitamin D at breakfast with my morning smoothie which contains 1-2 tablespoons of seeds. I just started taking it at lunch time instead and also started supplementing with additional K2 (MK7) at that time as well. I live in the Midwest, so sunlight vitamin D is really only possible from June-September. Not sure what else I can do to get my levels up. I am on month 1 of the CBO finisher, after completion of CBO protocol. I'm sure poor gut absorption has had something to do with it? Any other advice on how to get my levels up or why my levels haven't budged at all?! Do you have a favorite vitamin D light that you recommend? Karen: Dear Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your podcast and the easy way you get the information out about having good health. I am 62 and in the best health of my life thanks to many changes I have made. 10 years ago, I switched to a gluten free diet, the change it made in how I felt was amazing. Since then, I have been devouring books on health, and continuing to modify my diet and exercise. I am now dairy free, (a recent change) and eat very little sugar products. At 62 I am back to the weight I was when I graduated from high school! My question for you is about a condition I have on my lower lip, it has been there for about 25 years in varying degrees, and is called Actinic Cheilitis. It is a continual sloughing of skin cells on my lower lip, sometimes it is mildly painful, and is worse in the winter months. My dermatologist gave me a cream to treat it, a strong pharmaceutical that actually works by destroying the skin. I went through 1 round of this and couldn't tolerate the cream. The pain and ugliness on my lip was awful and I experienced body aches, headaches and couldn't sleep, a condition that is a rare side effect of this cream. As this is considered a pre-cancerous condition, I need to do something. I appreciate any suggestions you have. Dawn: I started the 7 day detox and after the 3rd shake, I felt nauseous? Is this normal? Should I continue on? Bettina: Hi Stephen thank you for your podcast, i only recently started listening to you. I got your rRain Barrel book and the 14 day detox. would love to have the tests done however with the $ exchange and taxes it get really expensive. can you suggest any labs in Brisbane or Gold Coast that you would recommend. looking forward to hearing from you. sincerely Bettina 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! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2200 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormon

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: Yasmin: 1. I was listening to your podcast about zinc.. I take a supplement of a combined version which includes calcium/magnesium and zinc. Would that be a good supplement to take? Samantha: I developed what I thought were varicose veins in my upper thighs and behind my knees. I was so blown away because I am not overweight or pregnant or elderly or sitting or standing for long periods of time. I just heard that one of the symptoms of covid is thrombosis. I am wondering if these sometimes painful itchy veins could be thrombosis and how I could treat them naturally? Marcie: Hi Dr Cabral! Bless you for sharing vital health information with the world! My question: i am 55 and in good health. I supplement daily with zinc, copper, C D quercetin, b complex, A and magnesium. About 7 weeks ago I started having a cycle of cluster headaches. I started on verapamil daily and plan to wean off now that the headaches have stopped. These come every 2-3 years. I feel like I heard you make a side comment in one of your house call questions about tartar on teeth, but I've searched and haven't come up with anything. Can you share what might be the cause of tartar buildup. I'm not sure what had changed but over the last couple of months I seem to quickly get tartar build up after brushing w my electric tooth brush and also cleaning with a dental tool. My curiosity is about the root cause which I thought I heard you say something about a lack of cod liver oil in the diet. My dentist is always amazed at how healthy my mouth is and how little cleaning needs to be done! I've also heard something about K2 in relation to this issue. Thank you for your time! Tiffany: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently purchased new pans (Caraway. I came across an article shortly after stating that the pans tested positive for 20 metals. Any advice? https://tamararubin.com/2021/08/caraway-cookware-without-the-chemicals-tested-positive-for-20-metals-including-lead-mercury-cobalt-antimony-when-tested-with-xrf-technology/ Lorena: What are you thoughts on pickled Japanese ginger? I love having these with my meals in Japanese restaurants so I want to make sure that they are healthy haha. Absolutely love your podcast! Rachel: Hello! I have been dealing with leaky gut and food sensitivities for a long time after clearing sibo. I have removed gluten, had a stool test, dutch test, and micronutrients test but things are not getting better with treatment. We are looking into food sensitivities more, but I had a test done two years ago and am afraid there's another underlying issue. What would you do next? Thanks for everything you do.

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… Let's get started! Tina:What are your thoughts on surgical mesh for bladder control? and is there an healthy alternative ? Ao curious what the root cause is for the sudden urination? Thank you so much!!!! Jenna: I was dealing with decreased bile production, or a blockage of the bile ducts I'm not really sure, and wasn't feeling well for about a week. It was obvious that my body was not digesting fats due to the low bile as I had pale or yellow colored stool. During this time although I didn't feel great, my bloating which I have been trying to solve the mystery of for the last 15 years just magically disappeared. It was completely gone. I didn't change my diet at all. To me, this experience showed me that the root cause of my bloating is a digestive process malfunction rather than SIBO, Candida, etc. Could it be that the act of breaking down fats in my system is what causes the bloating? And when i did not have the bile to properly digest the fats, this meant the bloating did not occur? The reason I ask is because I fixed the bile issue and the bloating is back! Amanda: Hi Dr Cabral! I am a 29 year old female who has been diagnosed with PCOS since the age of 18. Initially doctors would always tell me the same thing, lose weight and get on birth control. I've the past 11 years my body has always been in a constant battle with weight gain and loss. I have symptoms which include stubborn facial hair, belly fat, and darker pigmentation under my arms etc. In 2019 I went dairy and gluten free which has helped tremendously with my inflammation however on special occasions I have some and pay for it as my menstrual cycle is delayed. I have very low sex drive if nothing at all and I want that to change for myself and my partner. I have already done a 21 day Detox. Am doing fatlossity currently. Just wanted some advice on how to help with this facial hair, darker skin and low sex drive. ( I take t quench and estrogen balance and haven't noticed a difference) Doctor has taken blood and I do not have diabetes or hashimotos yet. Any advice is appreciated and thank you for all that you do! Karen: Can't thank you enough for always being a go-to resource for accurate information. It is so appreciated! I am trying to increase my daily protein intake by combining bone broth and a hydrolyzed whey powder into my daily smoothie. Would taking a proteolytic enzyme help me to better digest these proteins or is the fact that they are being ingested in a liquid form already make their proteins more available for absorption? I don't want to waste money on proteolytic enzymes if they aren't necessary. Any other recommendations for increasing protein absorption? Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral I have tested positive for h pylori and mold toxicity. I noticed a few months ago that I'm not forming stools normally. The stools are short and thin. What could cause this? What supplements could someone take to help with this? Lina: What is your thoughts on taking NP thyroid long-term? I have listened to your podcasts on balancing thyroid naturally for my low thyroid but have been using NP thyroid for a few years and has been "working". Don't know if it could be damaging to my health, though. Any advice would be much 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: Nicole: Hi Doctor C! I am very curious about antibodies. This is obviously a hot topic now, but as you know, antibodies are residual from any virus. My question is how and why some people have antibodies for x amount of time and others have them for more or less. Now that there is a common way for people to blood test this, I find it so interesting that a year later I still have antibodies and some of my friends test negative that had the same thing as me. I take a lot of supplements, eat a lot of colors and prioritize my sleep and sweat - do you think these things can at all contribute to the lifespan of antibodies? Or is there any fun science you could share about this topic? Your podcast is my favorite, thank you in advance! Lauren: First I want to say that your dedicated work is a God send! For the past 2 yrs. I've dealt the symptoms of thyroid problems. I'm undiagnosed- regardless of how many conventional "specialists" I've seen, they say my labs are "normal", acknowledge my symptoms, and send me on my way without help. My problem: 30 pounds of weight gain in 1.5 years that I CANNOT lose no matter what I try/do. I'm extremely conscientious about the quality of food supplements I put into my body (no fillers, dyes, organic, non gmo, etc). I recently (the past 5 months) have been taking magnesium, zinc, pre/probiotic as suggested in a previous podcast. This has helped some with energy but not weight loss. Other symptoms: BRAIN FOG, occasional debilitating mental motivation to do anything, STRESS, hair loss, no energy, wired but tired at night (taking magnesium and zinc at night helps now), etc…. If there were only two EquiLife tests that should I take to figure out what's going on with me, which would be the first and second? Also for women, what is the best time of the month and day to give specimens for the hormone test to optimize the results? Also, what are some critical vit./min. to heal/reboot my system? Thank you and God bless! Josh: Hi Dr Cabral! My 6 year old son got covid 7 weeks ago. He had one day of fever and seemed better, but he has this dry cough since then. It sounds like a bark and gets worse when he runs. We have tried many things both natural and conventional, and nothing is helping. Because we did not know he had covid, he was put under anesthesia for a dental procedure and I worry that made things worse for him. What can I do to help him heal. Thank you for all that you do! Shane: Hi Dr Cabral I'm curious what would make me go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times a night. I eat very healthy well balanced planted based diet with all my macros and micros. I also exercise every morning and have 2 to 3 bowel movements a day. I get plenty of water and stop eating and drinking before 7pm and go to bed by 10 and wake up around 6am. I'm getting some good sleep just not great since I'm getting up to much. I have done my big 5 labs and have Candida Overgrowth and SIBO. So wondering if this is what is causes me to get up 2 to 3 times a night to urinate since my body is not balanced yet? Also it's strange because my right hand usually feels colder than my left just another random symptom I'm trying to get to the bottom of. I will be doing the 21 day detox and CBO Protocol next month so hoping this will help me balance my body and have a better night sleep where I can sleep thru the night. Just curious your thoughts on this matter. Thanks so much! Appreciate all you do! Shane Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have a hypothetical situation that I hope I never encounter, but if I do, I'm hoping to be armed with your best advice! As someone who has completed the CBO protocol in the past and is now planning another pregnancy, I'm concerned what would happen if I tested positive on the 3rd trimester Strep B test. As I'm sure you're aware, this is a routine check done on all pregnant women to make sure they don't have Strep B bacteria prior to childbirth, since it can cause serious complications to newborns. Everything I read says antibiotics are the treatment for this. As someone who has had SIBO and Candida in the past and has already completed the CBO protocol, what would the best course of action be if I find myself in this situation? It may be one of those situations where antibiotics are a necessity to protect the baby, however, what can I do to help protect my gut during this time? I searched and searched your podcast archives and couldn't find this question, so hopefully I'm not making you answer a question you already have in the past! Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you so much for all you do for the community and sharing your wisdom with the world.

It's called, Peptide YY, or PYY for short, and believe it or not, our bodies make it naturally - It's just that some people's bodies make more of it than others for very specific reasons… So on today's #CabralConcept 2189 I'd like to share with you how to curb cravings and hunger naturally with PYY - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2189 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

We're all predisposed to something… The question is what auto-immune issue are your genetics most likely susceptible to if your body becomes imbalanced? To be honest though, regardless of how you answer above, it is, for the most part, meaningless if you keep your body healthy and balanced… And one of the ways that we know people become susceptible to auto-immune issues is through an imbalanced microbiome (unhealthy intestinal bacteria)… And as you may have guessed already, much of that bacteria is affected by what we eat and consume… So on today's #CabralConcept 2188, I'd like to share some new research on autoimmune dis-eases and the diet connection discovery - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2188 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

One of the most amazing parts of goal manifestation is how much we are the determining factor in the outcome of the timeline. By that, I mean that it is we who ultimately decide how quickly we will achieve something based on our preconceived notions of how long it should take. Sometimes this is based on reality, but more often it is simply enabling cultural norms to dictate how fast we can make our goals happen.

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… Let's get started! Krystina: For as long as I can remember, I get recurring yeast infections and BV. I generally flip-flop between the two. I know it is a common problem for many women. I am assuming I have candida overgrowth, but what can I actually do to solve this? In addition, I am currently pregnant and having to treat a yeast infection now every 2-3 weeks. My doctor says to just keep treating it, but it is having a dramatic effect on my life. Keep in mind that I will be breastfeeding in a month or so. Jeffrey:Hello Dr. Steve, I'm grateful for you generosity and the expansion you create in the world! Could you please add a review of the coffee alternative product called MUD/WTR? I'm curious as to your professional and personal evaluation. With gratitude, Jeffrey Becky: Are you the NP that reversed your Addison's disease? Did you have primary or secondary and how did you do it? Do you have protocols or recommendations to support the body for primary adrenal insufficiency? Alex: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am super thankful for your continued work and service to the world. My question is regarding swallowing pills. I have this mental block where whenever I try to swallow a pill, my throat just locks up and I swallow the water but the pill will stay there in my mouth. Any tips, advice, or resources for moving past this? I was able to swallow -meds- a few months ago since it was so tiny. Thank you for your time and presence. Michael: Can h pylori and gastritis cause Tension headaches? Lara: Good day! I'm obsessed with your podcast, I listen to it every day. I wanted to understand how marijuana is known to dilate the pupils. Wouldn't it be the other way around? I thought marijuana would activate the parasympathetic state and we know that dilation of pupils is related to the sympathetic state which doesn't make a lot of 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: Dianna: Hello, I am a Pitta/Vata. There was no female celebrity as an example. I am 65 and trying to lose the last 30lbs. I usually follow low carb (meat) due to having gluten intolerance, grain intolerance. I have difficulty trying to fast. Do you recommend a specific diet? thanks. Andrea: I hope you're having a great day! My question is about maltodextrin. There are great functional medicine brands out there but I've noticed that sometimes supplements contain maltodextrin when using an extract of something (i.e. ginger root extract). What are your thoughts of maltodextrin in these situations? Maria: Hey Dr. Cabral! After 10 months of chronic hives (No other histamine symptoms. I was diagnosed with autoimmune based hives), I did the Big 5 and after consulting with 1 of your health coaches, I started CBO protocol, citricidal drops, thyroid support, adrenal sooth, vit D3, and Omega 3s. I'm on my last week of the CBO and will start the CBO finisher immediately after for 3 months. During this time I've seen improvement in my hives (98% gone), I've been able to get off of all my pharmaceuticals except for 1 biologic injection that I still get bi-weekly. I've been following the Sensitive Gut Guide, but also sticking to a low histamine diet (which unfortunately eliminates a lot of the foods on the SGG). My question is if you think I can truly heal myself from this or if I'll always live with this issue, and I'll just have to learn to manage it through strict lifestyle and diet like I have the last 3 months? Even though I've been doing better, I'm terrified to stray from the SGG or low histamine diet for fear that the hives may return. I'd love to be able to enjoy a cheat meal or even high histamine foods on the SGG. Any thoughts or words of hope?! How long did it take you to fully heal all your histamine based issues? Rosie: Hi Dr Cabral! I've been loving your podcast. Honestly, there's nothing like it out there. Question: My HRV has fallen dramatically the last 3 months. I track it with Oura. It used to be around 70 and now it has been consistently on the 30-40s. Mental stress has not changed and I actually stopped working out so hard. Just sticking to 10k daily steps plus some band resistance training. However I've ran a HTMA and OAT and heavy metals and yeast showed up. This was not present when I ran this a year ago after I completed CBO. But I guess I caused myself yeast overgrowth again Do you think this can cause HRV to go down? Heart rate has also been elevated during sleep too! Very weird. Basically my readiness has been terrible the past 3 months. Lewis: Please is pure mastic gum taken before meals or after meals Breanna: In your heavy metal detox protocol you use chlorella to bind the heavy metals. In a different course I am currently taking, I am being taught that if someone has silver fillings you want to stay away from chlorella because it will pull it out of the mouth. Have you heard of this? Would you suggest other binders if this is the case?

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… Let's get started! Dianne: I have, what I call, an occasional froggy throat. No amount of attempting to clear my throat nor coughing helps. I live alone and don't realize I don't have much of a voice until I get on the phone or go shopping, which doesn't help in determining if it is strictly morning or night. Thanks for any suggestion you have, Allie: Hello! Thank you so much for answering my question. I've struggled with gaining weight my whole life. During pregnancy I'm able to pack on a good 40 lbs but then I loose it all quickly and then some. Currently weighing in at 94 lbs and I'm 5'8". Do you have any ideas as to what I might try in order to gain more weight while keeping a healthy diet? Also, I'd love to try the 7 or 14 day detox but am concerned with losing more weight. Do you have any suggestions in doing the detox for someone with my concern? Thank you so much for taking the time to help! Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral I have a question regarding stretch marks & hyperpigmentation. What are your thoughts on getting rid of stretch marks. And getting rid of hyperpigmentation from neck and knees, will micro needling/derma rolling help get rid of hyperpigmentation and stretch marks, or is laser the only option for good results? Thanks Erin: Hello! I love these podcasts; they are so so helpful. I've been wandering...Is there a root cause to asthma? Thank you! Susan: Hi! I'm 50 yo female who takes generally good care of myself. My right eye has been twitching several times a day for at least the last seven weeks. I don't have any other symptoms and a recent eye exam (just prior to the twitching) was healthy. I take magnesium and other anti inflammatory supplements. I have struggled with monthly hormonal headaches- and often have neck tightness/pain particularly the muscle between my shoulder and neck. I also tend to clench my teeth at night but not significantly enough to cause jaw pain or tooth issues. Could I have somehow injured or stressed the muscles in my face/eyes? I do use blue light glasses and have cut down screen time but the twitch remains!! I do yoga and exercise moderately most days and get enough sleep and do not have high levels of stress. So what gives with this twitch!! Thanks so much in advance!! Noelle: 3 years ago I woke up in the middle of the night and wasn't able to walk. I wasn't able to put any pressure on my ankle. I saw multiple doctors whoeither said my x-rays showed nothing or said I just don't remember injuring myself. Twitches even put my ankle in excruciating pain. I wore a boot for three months and after three months I could barely put enough pressure on my ankle to be able to walk.3 yrs later the pain is gone but comes &goes every 3months but the swelling is still there and looks like I have a cankle. since then about every 3-6 months the swelling and joint pain to other joints. It next went to my knee and I woke up again in the middle of the night and couldn't put pressure on my knee. Then 3 months later it went to my wrist and then my elbow then my upper back/shoulders/spine. These joints all have flare ups and days where I can't sit up because my back hurts so bad:The worst one is my wrist where doing nothing hurts or getting dressed hurts or pulling a blanket over myself in bed hurts. I've been tested for rheumatoid arthritis,Lyme disease but both are neg. I've done detoxes and diet changes and I've noticed no difference. I've seen a functional dr,allergist, and still no answers.Wanted to see if you've heard of anything likethis or have suggestions?

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: Andrea: I've heard that Ashwagandha can have a negative effect on the thyroid, leading to hypothyroidism, if taken for too long. Is this an herb that should be pulsed, or is this information untrue? Anonymous: Any advice for crusty eyes? Feels like it's a little sticky when I wake up. Never had this before! Cara: You are incredible, thank you so much for showing up every day for our community! I'm an IHP L2 female graduate (Vata/25 year old) and recently did a bunch of tests (saliva hormones test, stool test, food sensitivity, hair tissue test & neurotransmitters test due to feeling very wired, with muscle spasms, and anxious. Gut is great but the following showed up: Stage 5 adrenal fatigue, very low potassium, elevations in mercury, arsenic and other metals and apparently my serotonin is on the higher end (not out of range), low norepinephrine and low epinephrine (the ratio between them is high though so confused?). My question is: What can I do to fix my norepinephrine and epinephrine? Also, do you think the l-theanine from my daily matcha is causing the high serotonin? Should I stop? Anna: I am generally fit and healthy 35 y.o. woman, with long history of being vegetarian, who experienced 3 miscarriages (2 out of 3 was partial molar pregnancy). After all tests, supplemnetary plan, my period got completely crazy (it used to be every 30 days) and now I am bleeding for a month, it started on 10 day of my cycle. I have taken progresteron and excatyl to stop bleeding. Going on acupuncture. Nothing helps. Victoria: Hi Dr. Cabral. Looking forward to this response & hearing your mastery! Thank you for you time. My question is - what order should I heal the below issues? I have a lot of different issues going on. Long-term lyme (still currently positive for IGM and IGG w western blot) - never took antibiotics. High mold - very high in Aspergillus mycotoxins (Ochratoxin A & Gliotoxin) Ochratoxin levels - 21.19 MG/dl (normal range Dar: Have you ever done the andreas moritz liver and gall bladder flush? Wondering what your thoughts are on it. I've done it a few times. It ends with olive oil and grapefruit juice and having Epsom salt water to flush stones out.

I would've thought as an industry we would have all learned our lesson and begin to understand that the truth always lies closer to the center than with fringe diets and fads… Luckily not everyone thinks this way and if you keep an open mind and you actually look at the mechanisms for how the body works you can begin to see the flaws in the marketing around these fad diets… So in today's #CabralConcept 2175 I'd like to help answer the question once and for all if you need to be in ketosis in order to burn fat - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2175 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

Since low carb and high fat diets are all the craze right now, I thought I'd share some interesting research on mitigating the harmful effects of certain high fat diets on your health… It's interesting, but nature has once again given us a compound to dampen the oxidative and inflammatory stress we can put on our body when not careful… So on today's #CabralConcept 2174 I'd like to share the amazing research on a high-fat diet and how reseveratrol can negate the effects - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions or comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2174 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

Every quarter I like to look at my priorities and goals list and make sure it is up-to-date… Along with those goals I also want to make sure that my non-negotiables match what I am looking to get out of life over the next 90 days… If I am not putting in the work, providing enough value to those in my life, or of service to our community I have to rethink either my goals or what I am willing to do in order to achieve them… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 2173 I'd like to share with you my non-negotiables list and hopefully inspire you to create one of your own – enjoy the show and let me know what you thought and what some of your non-negotiables are in the comments below! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2173 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels)

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… Let's get started! Anonymous: Hello doctor, I'd be grateful if you would provide your thoughts about my digestive concern. I pass gas often. Sometimes several times within an hour. It's odorless. It'll begin a couple hours after lunch and continue through the night. I pass a lot of gas in the mornings before having to go number 2. After that i won't have excessive gas until after lunch again. I never feel bloated. I'm not gassy when fasting, it's only after eating whole food meals. I drink a smoothie for breakfast. Lunch and dinner follows your weight maintenance plan from ihp. I eat plant based for 80% of my whole food meals. I take two digestive enzymes with each meal and I use extra enzymes when I eat beans. Thanks in advance for your response. Angie: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for your work and dedication to help people all over the world get well and feel alive again. I have done the detox, parasite protocol and am now doing the CBO protocol and am currently undergoing testing for mold toxicity through my local naturopathic doctor. I have two questions: 1). I will be doing the CBO Finisher after the CBO protocol. My body does not react well to glutamine and it gives me unexplained anxiety. I can take the FM detox levels, but not the 5G in the Healthy Gut Support. Why is that? Because of this, what dosage do you recommend me titrate until I can handle the 5G? 2). If I have high levels of mold and will likely need to repeat or lengthen my treatment, what do you recommend? Should I repeat month 1 and 2 again or continue only certain supplements until I get my levels down? Jen: I am curious why I urinate so much more after a smoothie, than just plain water. Whenever I have a smoothie, I am running to pee multiple times within the following 1-2 hours. I don't have this with water. Thank you! Emma: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have struggled for years with constipation, gas and bloating. I have tried everything in the book and the foods I have the hardest time digesting are vegetables and fruits. I struggle because I know how healthy they are for the gut and everything, but they just make me more constipated and bloated. What do you recommend? Lorena: I take the DNS everyday and recently have done a blood test in which serum vitamin B12 and serum folate were elevated. Does this means there's a deficiency or that I'm taking too much vitamin B? Lorena: I also forgot to ask that I recently did a hair tissue test that showed high magnesium (low potassium) & high zinc (copper normal). I take 400mg of magnesium citrate and 100mg of mag glycinate before bed and the balanced zinc every morning. As an anxious Vata, my body does well with magnesium. But now I'm not sure what to do. Should I stop taking magnesium and zinc?

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, I have had amenorrhea for quite a long time. It first started when I lost a large amount of weight for a bodybuilding competition. This was 10 years ago. Over the years I was put on birth control to help try and regulate the period and "bring it on" however I didn't like the way that made me feel and I knew that was only putting a bandaid on the problem and not fixing the real issue. I have tried MANY different things to no avail. Fast forward to present day. In the last 2 years my period has started to return! My doctor says this is a great sign. Maybe my body is becoming more balanced? However it still is irregular. I've gotten it about 4-5 times a year the past two years, it lasts just a few days. The very hard part is I will experience pms symptoms for 3-4 weeks! Irritability, extreme bloating, extreme nipple and breast discomfort. Truly severe symptoms. It even affects me mentally as well as physically. I know you often talk about estrogen dominance but in my case, my estrogen, including estradiol and those other female hormones, are extremely low. What do you do in this case? How can I rebalance these hormones and ease these symptoms? There is a lot of information out there and it all can be so overwhelming, like there's so much I need to do. Please help! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm a daily podcast listener and I want to thank you for all your helpful wisdom you share. I've had medical issues that I was born with that has caused me to have chronic pain and multiple surgeries throughout childhood and all the way to being an adult now. I recognize as an adult that those procedures and how I was treated was at times necessary and that the doctors were only trying to help. However, lately I've taken a look at what happened through a child's perspective and can see how scary, invalidating and traumatic those experiences were. How do I move on from medical trauma? How do I get help with moving through this when the same people I look to for help are the same people that trigger these feelings in the first place? My body feels constantly stuck in SNS dominance despite following all the health protocols, and I know this issue is holding me back from being well. I've tried working with different therapists, hypnotherapist and a life coach. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Erin: Hoping you have some advice... I keep getting sinus infections and constantly have allergy issues and in the winter often get bronchitis. I've done allergy testing and have bad environmental allergies. I've been doing a lot of gut healing over the past few years yet I am still having these issues. Starting to feel defeated...any ideas or advice? If it does help/matter, most family members on my moms side have allergy issues as well. Thanks so much for all you do. Kathy: Dear Doctor Cabral, thank you for helping so many people. You are amazing! My daughter (who is in her 20's) wants to know why something has been happening for the last few years, and I did do a podcast archive search, but nothing came up, so I would love to know if you have seen this before: The first bite of any type of food that she eats after not eating for a couple of hours (especially first thing in the morning) tastes very sour and causes her cheeks to pucker. The food is not necessarily a sour food, so it seems a little unusual. Water is the only thing that will not do this. She's in great shape and takes good care of her health. Thank you so much, I really appreciate you. :) Tina: I have a few brown spots on my face that my dermatologist is calling melasma. Is there a way to get rid of it naturally without using all the bleach and chemical creams he's recommending? He told me melasma comes from the sun and from heat. So now I'm afraid to go for a walk during the day with the sun out and also I have been avoiding the infrared sauna because he said the heat can cause more of it. Are the spots caused by liver toxicity? Hormone in balance? How can I get rid of them? Thank you so much! Lola: Hi! I have learnt so much from the show and it truly is a blessing! I am a 24year old vata-pitta female with kapha vikruti and I have had alopecia since I was 16. I had always had extremely fine and thin hair so getting alopecia really affected my mental health. It started out as small bald patches on the sides on my head and one in the back, but then over the years, I got thinning at the temples, a receding hairline and thinning at the part of my hair and the crown. I have tried everything but haven't really found a solution. I have recently adopted a pitta pacifying diet, but I'm not sure if it's helping. I am now losing tiny hairs that almost look like vellus hairs and I'm not sure why. I think the hair that regrows falls out after a few weeks. Pl
