The Cabral Concept

Although we still have a long ways to go, over the past 20 years science has made incredible breakthroughs in understanding why we age as humans… Current knowledge has enabled us to define 8 factors that can be slowed or accelerated and dictate how quickly we age… On today's #CabralConcept 2169 I'd like to share with you the research on why we age and what we can do about it – enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2169 - - - 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 that there's a different diet out there for every day of the week… However, if you strip back the marketing and dogma of all of the best diets they all center themselves around tried and true formulas backed by science… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 2168 I'd like to take you through the most effective (scientifically proven) way to start a diet (no matter what diet you choose) - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2168 - - - 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)

I use to believe that how we age was mainly due to our genetics and outside factors largely outside of our control… But then after running a large-scale functional medicine practice and working with many families I saw how some individuals look decades younger than other adult siblings… What I begin to realize was while there certainly is a genetic factor as to what we will look like when we age how quickly we age and how youthful we look has far more to do with our toxicities and deficiencies… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 2167 I would like to share with you the seven factors for flawless skin and how anyone can easily adapt these to their life – enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2167 - - - 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! Emma: Hello Dr. Cabral, My mother has been diagnosed with Grave's and Thyroid Eye Disease. Her symptoms include proptosis in one eye, very low TSH and normal T4 & T3. Although all of her antibodies have shown very low or zero, even after repeat testing. Is there a specific imbalances or deficiencies you commonly see paired with low TSH ? What could be causing the proptosis if she doesn't have any antibodies? Could Candida be at play? What are your top recommendations for Grave's/Thyroid Eye Disease? So grateful for your support. Thank you! Anonymous: If someone is sensitive or allergic to wormwood and/black walnut, what product or ingredients would you recommend instead to be able to do both a parasite protocol and a CBO protocol? It seems like omitting the microbial balance and parapro would not achieve the best results, but I can't tolerate either of these. Even using the smallest doses and titration, I get severe stomach pain when using these supplements. I have learned so much from your podcast. Thank you for all you do! Michelle: I'm always on a quest to source the best possible animal proteins I can find. Recently I went on a search for turkey, specifically turkey slices like deli meat. I know better than to buy any grocery store deli meats so I tried searching for local pasture raised turkeys but couldn't find anything except a whole bird. Then I referenced The Cornucopia Institutes Organic Poultry Scorecard which gave me one option I could find in the stores with a 4-bird rating but on further research of that company I found they only have a special Holiday bird that qualifies for the GAP step 5 rating and all their other birds are only GAP step 3, which means outdoor access, not pasture raised. Very frustrating and I've come to the conclusion that I'll probably need to buy a whole bird and cook it myself. What I am wondering though is even with the local pasture raised farms it's normal to supplement with an organic / non-gmo feed that is a grain product. I do not eat grains due to my autoimmune history. If I'm eating animal protein that had some grain feed during it's life span does that affect me? To quote Michael Pollan "You are what you eat eats." Melania: Yeast showed up in the stool test but not in the OAT. How is this even possible? Tina: I am a 52 year old female who loves doing bodybuilding shows every couple of years. I eat a very healthy macro-based diet with Whole Foods play on for the most part I am very healthy. I just ordered the big five and I'm excited to test my hormones. Curious how I can put on more muscle without taking steroids? How can I increase my testosterone levels naturally? Is there something I could be eating or taking to help me put on more muscle since I do strength train five days a week moderately heavy but I feel like I'm not putting any new muscle on. Thank you for everything! I think you're amazing and I appreciate you and your team so so much. Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I know you are a big fan of high-powered blenders for smoothies and I was wondering what your thoughts were on 'vacuum'/pressurized blenders, which remove air before blending, supposedly reducing oxidation. I have to make my smoothie 2+hr before I drink it every morning so the potential to reduce oxidation is appealing, but I'd love to hear whether you think they are worth the extra money and have any recommendations?

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: Lorena: Hi there! I'm a 28 year old Vata and IHP Level 1 and 2 certified. Recently, I've been noticing that my Oura ring has constantly been telling me that my heart rate has been elevated at night. My HRV as a result is much lower than usual. I haven't got one night of a normal heart rate and it's been in "red" in the Oura app (56-62 bpm. At the same time that this started happening, I started to feel some weird neurological symptoms similar to those in MCAS (intense anxiety especially after eating, heart palpitations, brain fog & more). I've also suddenly started to experience bloating and gas after whole food meals (not smoothies). I've never had digestive issues before and did the CBO a year ago for skin issues solely. Trying to figure out how to lower this heart rate at night. I've even lowered stressed massively (at work & stopped working out intensively). Any idea what could be going on? I take a good amount of magnesium before bed too and sometimes even melatonin. Waiting on stool test results because I want to rule out parasites & h pylori. But if the latter is negative, what else should I look at? Melanie: I always hear you talk about people with high blood pressure needing more potassium in their diet. They would therefore not have to worry too much about sodium. However, my dad has high blood pressure and a few weeks ago ended in the hospital as his potassium levels were very very elevated and it was life threatening. He has high blood pressure, diabetes type 2 etc… I was wondering how this can be possible? I thought everyone with high blood pressure usually had low potassium levels! Btw this event happened the day after he took the laxative to do a colonoscopy so not sure if this is relevant. Anonymous: Hi Stephen, I have a question about insulin. In the health world currently, there is A LOT of talk about blood sugar and insulin in regards to losing weight. I am regularly reading that insulin must be kept low because insulin halts fat oxidation. Therefore is insulin is up you can't burn fat. However, there is an abundance of research that shows that under isocaloric conditions, there is little to no difference between LCHF and HCLF diets. I knw you yourself are familiar with the rice, fruit, and fruit juice diet reearch which was basically all carbs and yet insulin sensitivity was improved and weight loss occured. Surely this would suggest energy balance is the overriding important factor in weight loss. If "fat can't be burned when insulin is present or high" how can such studies be explained? Would love your insight here. Thank you. Amber: Hello Dr.Cabral. First I just want to say thank you so much for all you do and give. I'm currently getting my level 1 and I truly look forward to learning from you everyday. Ok so in regards to my question… My 7 year old son got covid about 3 weeks ago now. He got hit in the form of mostly diarrhea for two days. I'm only giving that piece of info because the current problem has only happened since having said virus. (In all his 7 years he has been sick about 4 other times.) He's been hit with the current problem about 3 times in the last two weeks. He'll be eating and his stomach will start to hurt really bad. One, was on Thanksgiving which I thought ok maybe all the different foods being combined. Then it happened again today two different times after eating something he always eats. Didn't hit him as hard but still came. His stomach does seem to settle once I give him this ginger drink. My mom intuition tells me something isn't right and I need to catch it before it develops into something worse. I have some ideas on where to start but I'd love your thoughts first. Greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much. Ewa: hello, my son Isak18 can't seem to get his full voice back after he caught a cold early fall, which happened around the same time last year. Its Really bad especially in the morning when he has to cough, clearing the pflem and scratchyness out. The ENT took a pict of inflamed vocal cords, lots of pflem and gave him antibiotics and steroids. He felt all better for a week before it came back again. He is working outside around damp leaves quite a bit but doesn't have any other mold-symptoms... Since he was a little puppy his colds always got to his lungs and airways. What do you think doc, whats going on? Much appreciation your way! Ewa and Isak Malinda: Ive read in medical studies of children who contract the chicken pox virus are less likely to contract shingles later in life, which is so much worse. If this is true what is the best way for them to catch the chicken pox now that so many children are vaccinated against it? What can parents do to avoid their child from contracting painful shingles later in life? As well as naturally boosting myself

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! Victoria: Hi Dr. Cabral, Someone I know has been in the hospital with double pneumonia and tuberculosis. The antibiotics weren't helping for awhile so they had to put her in an induced coma for a week and on a ventilator to keep her alive. Eventually, she left the hospital but then her ankles started hurting. After review by doctors, they found something called "mycobacterium haemophilum" that could be possibly infecting / eating away at her bone. They only had one very unfortunate solution for this to prevent it spreading to the rest of her body. I have a few questions. I know you are not supposed to give medical advice -- so I won't be asking for medical advice. If she would look to help to fix this dis - ease in her body naturally, what do you think the best solutions would be to start? I am trying to get some kind of a Naturopathic doctor to start working with her. Looking for any possible guidance though you may have. Wondering if this happened because of all the antibiotics she was pumped (7+ kinds) to keep the other infections at bay imbalanced her microbiome and body dramatically. She has also had an autoimmune disease for most of her life in which she has been on a strong steroid for (15+ years). Thank you so much for your input.. really appreciate your time on this. Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral Could you please explain how someone can have an issue with sulphur detoxification and why they get symptoms with foods high in sulphur? What is the underlying cause of this? How do you go about Correcting this? Does this have a correlation with sibo? Plus what is hydrogen sulfide bacteria and how does occur? Many thanks for your help Charonne: Hi doctor Cabral, I hope you're doing great! I was wondering if you could maybe give me some advice on the following: I (42 y.o. F) always have cold hands and feet - especially during the winter. In those cold months, my fingers will often swell up and look inflamed from the cold. I know that it has to do with my low thyroid and a very low blood pressure. I'm working on this with my health practitioner, but it's going slowly, so I would really love to know if you know of any great natural remedies to get and keep my hands and feet warm. Thanks so much in advance for your answer, and for everything you do! Especially for creating the CBO protocol! I'm almost finished with it, and my digestion has never been better! :) Charonne Anonymous: Hi Doc, Thanks for everything! (I know this is a family show so I will try to phrase my question in the right way. Choose the best alternative for your preferences.) Alternative 1. Are there any underlying root cause to sexual fetish'm? Alternative 2. Are there any underlying root cause to why some people have a "fruitful desire" in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing, part of the body, etc? TIA! Elizabeth: How do you know what your exact body type is? As well as what is better to do to lose weight carb cycling or macroing? I've put on 40lbs , 54 yrs metabolism is shot :( Laura: Hello! I'm a 27 year old Vata. My at-home saliva test showed low cortisol in the AM and higher than optimal at night. I know this is adrenal fatigue and I've listened to all of your shows on this. I feel exhausted in the morning but still anxious so I chose not to go for adrenal energy support. I already do the daily foundational protocol level 3 with magnesium before bed and zinc at dinner time. I've done the CBO & CBO finisher and do my seasonal detoxes as well. Any recommendations for raising my cortisol levels in the morning naturally? I already bought the light box but not sure what else to do as I really feel very tired in the morning (and caffeine worsens my anxiety). Sleep is good, 7-7.30h of sleep every night with 90 mins of REM and 2h of Deep.

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: Maria: Hey! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer our community's questions :) I'm a Vata body type 29 year old woman currently working on healing my adrenal fatigue. I have elevated levels of cortisol in the PM and low cortisol in the AM. Unfortunately, I don't do very well with adrenal soothe due to histamines. I've tried it several times but it just doesn't agree with me. Any other alternative that you recommend? I can't take adrenal support in the morning because I already suffer from anxiety (funny given that my AM cortisol is low). Sleep is good, I track it with my Oura ring and take magnesium, DNS, omega 3, daily probiotic & vitamin D everyday. Maria: Sorry me again! I forgot to mention that I decided to take a break from heavy lifting and just stick to 10k steps every day and Workout 3x a week with resistance bands only. BMI 21 & 15% body fat percentage. I was doing a lot of sauna but I read that it might not be the best right now as it can be a stressor to my body. What are your thoughts? My workouts are not as intense so I don't really sweat. Sauna is the only option I have…After running the hormones test with your team, all of my hormones are also on the lower side (including estrogen). So I don't want to push my body too hard. Jenna: Do you think that drinking pomegranate juice has more benefits or more downsides? I know drinking any juice without the fiber of the fruit will spike blood sugar, but I also know pomegranate is great for antioxidants. Would you recommend drinking this? (maybe in small amounts?) Darren: Hey Dr Cabral. Wishing you, your family and Equi Life team all the best in the new year. By the time you get this it'd likely be finished but this question is for future reference. I got the Equi Life Activated B Complex, Activated Multivitamin and DNS recently. I looked at the daily value percentages and was wondering if it was possible to take 1 capsule instead of 2 suggested for the B Complex and 2 instead of 4 capsules suggested for the activated multivitamin. I'm trying to stay healthy and do what's right while still keeping budget but I'd do what's right if I actually have to do the suggested number. Also with regard to the DNS, is there any reason why it has added sugar in the ingredients? Is it for a particular reason or merely for taste? Christina: Are infrared sauna and proteolytic enzymes (taken on an empty stomach) safe when you have breast implants? Thank you for the wonderful information provided in your podcasts. Christina: When I exercise or do a physical activity requiring more oxygen, I have to yawn to bring in the oxygen that I need. Otherwise, I feel like I am not getting enough oxygen. Is this normal?

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! Abigail: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm an IHP, and I have a client with Down syndrome (18 yr old female) who is starting to experience symptoms of acute regression. We have done lab testing and are working on correcting her "root cause" imbalances, but I was wondering if you could point me toward any resources (podcasts, websites, etc) to further my education in this area since I don't know much about acute regression and how to help "reverse" it naturally. All of the information I've found so far is from more of a conventional perspective, so any of your insight would be very helpful! Adrianne: Hey Doc! Thanks for showing up everyday to make the world a healthier place. My sister in law was told by her dermatologist that she has barnacles. She showed me one next to her eye. Google calls it Seb-k and says the cause is unknown. I am thinking maybe a deficiency or toxicity. Can you shed any light on the subject? Thanks! Laura: I would like to ask two questions.1- I have recently purchased your Daily Nutritional Support. On the list of ingredients is Zinc Picolinate. According to some studies it has been found that this form of Zinc may cause liver damage. Do you believe this to be true? If so are you considering changing to another form of Zinc? 2- I have read your book The Rain Barrel Effect. I enjoyed it and am very interested in helping a family member with MS. Have you found that going through your cleanses has helped reverse the symptoms of MS and or cured anyone from this condition? Thank you for your time. Laura Darren:Good day Dr Cabral. Is there any truth to ghee is used in ayurveda as the first thing in the morning on an empty stomach as doing this will lower cholesterol levels, aid in unblocking "clogged" arteries (by preventing endothelial cells) and getting a daily supply of omega 3s and vitamin E? Or is that overstating its properties? I know it's a saturated fat but are there any concerns with using it or who should avoid it if any? Thanks for your help Concerned Mother: Dear Dr. Cabral, I've been listening to your show for a while now and am working with one of your health coaches. I'm very happy seeing some changes in my own health. I know my son needs help too and I'm hoping you can tell us the best way to begin. He is 9 years old and was adopted as an infant. We know his birth mother smoked regularly during the pregnancy. He had a regular delivery but was not breast fed. He's had a few rounds of antibiotics over the years for rashes that turned into infections. He is overweight (none of the other members of our family are so I wonder if genetics play a role in that) and has recently developed asthma. He has always had a runny nose and gets rashes and hives regularly. He has learning disabilities and when he was younger he needed occupational therapy for eating and walking. He is still lagging in physical skills and coordination and will stuff his mouth full and not chew his food well no matter how much coaching we offer. I sometimes think his sense of fullness may not be functioning well. Every time I go to the doctor for any of these issues I end up feeling blamed for his weight but they don't offer any really helpful advice. Where would you recommend we start in helping him rebalance his body? Thank you so much for all your help! Simon: Hi Dr Cabral – I am wondering if there are any downsides to taking L-glutamine long term? I have been taking it consistently for the last 5 or so years, ranging from a steady 5mg per day, to larger less-frequent doses (10-15mg) on strength training days only. As someone who both exercises frequently and has been trying to heal ongoing IBS/gut permeability issues, glutamine seems like a great dual-benefit supplement but I just want to check there aren't any long-term downsides. 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: Farren: Good day Dr Cabral. I know you won't get this in November but like 8 weeks from now sometime in late December, early January (Happy New year BTW) but what are your thoughts on drives like "No Nut November"? In line with with what you teach on mindset and motivational Mondays, I believe you'd lean toward avoiding porn given what it can do your brain but are there benefits to not ejaculating or abstaining over a given period? One elder while growing up said its always good to keep the "blood flowing" there even if you don't climax while I see so-called experts saying you should often cause of benefits ranging from better sleep to prostrate health. I read somewhere in ayurveda where they said different doshas should have different requirements. Hope this didn't come across too crass. Do you have thoughts on this? Erin: Asthma! What is the root cause of asthma? I have been told magnesium deficiency but would love to hear your input. Thanks so much I really do love listening to your podcasts. Deanna: hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering what you think about certain alternative detox methods - in particular, would you recommend zeolite, and if so, what form? And also I have been hearing about chlorine dioxide which seems quite controversial. I rely on your opinion about these things. I also did order your detox protocol, so I will be trying that as well. I feel it is so important right now to be detoxifying. Thank you for your help! Deanna Jenna: Are you familiar with the Jovi Patch? I'm seeing good feedback about it in regards to helping with menstrual cramps. Apparently it's a patch that you put over your uterus and it "works to pick up the message your body is sending out, rerouting it and absorbing it like a sponge using nanocapacitors." I'm a tiny bit skeptical on how this works and if it's safe and wanted your perspective before I try it. Sheba: Hello, I was asked about ways to detox the the vaccine. Do you have any suggestions? I want to share this information as unbias as possible and I will represent IHP to the best of my abilities. Please let me know if you have any advice or suggestions on this matter. Best, Sheba Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am 27 years old, resistance train 5-6 days a week, and have a very good body composition. Since high school, I have had a large bump under my right nipple that has not gone away. I got a sonogram in college that did not show any cancer or tumor, and it seems closer to the description of gyno, but only on one side. Overtraining during high school and college impacted my hormones, of which I am still trying to fully recover from. The bump was noticeable before I began rigorously training for athletics, but I am sure the hormone damage did not help in it subsiding. My question is as to whether or not you would recommend looking into your DHEA supplement, or if I am too young to begin something like that. My life now is fairly stressful, but manageable, I am an engineer, lift weights (as previously mentioned), walk at least 10,000 steps a day, eat very healthy, and also struggle with digestive issues (story for another day). Any recommendations you have are greatly appreciated and thank you so much for what you do. We, the listeners, are forever in debt.

Although the COVID survival rate is greater than 99% there are many people that recover but still have lingering health issues from the virus… There's a certain segment of people that even after the virus has been eliminated end up with symptoms of: Brain fog Fatigue Muscle weakness Joint pain Exercise intolerance Weakened immunity These people are labeled as long haulers or suffering from post-viral inflammatory syndrome… And while conventional medicine has no answers, the good news is we have seen this before due to other types of viruses and in the natural health community, we have the ability to help rebalance the body… - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2148 - - - 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)

Regardless of what "macros" you follow for your diet plan, there is one specific set of nutrients that are essential for long-term health… They come from the bright colors of fruits, vegetables, and herbs and are referred to as antioxidants… They combat oxidative stress, inflammation, dis-ease, and aging to name a few… So on today's #CabralConcept 2146 we are going to go through the top 10 antioxidant foods that you should try to consume daily - Enjoy the show and let me know which are your favorite! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2146 - - - 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! Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) This podcast is my favourite thing of the day.. I listen to it while preparing my lemon water and smoothie in the morning :) Which brings me to my question(/-s).. I usually make a huge smoothie with everything you can think of (frozen berries, leafy greens, protein powder and then lots of herbs and spices, mushroom powders, ginger & turmeric root, etc. It comes out pretty big so I started freezing half of it for the days I don't have the time to make it.. does freezing & then defrosting destroy all the good benefits of all these ingredients which are blended together? My second question about it is, even though I eat quite a big bowl of it, I still feel quite hungry and shaky after it.. like I don't have energy in my muscles to do any real movement or exercise.. that feeling sometimes stays with me for most of the day or until I eat something solid (which usually makes me feel bloated or uncomfortable in the stomach).. is this weird, considering I do use healthy fats and proteins and carbs in the smoothie (and it's a really big amount of it)? Thank you so much for your answers and everything you do.. much love to you, your family and everyone in this community.. Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :) One more smoothie related question: I usually eat an apple after my smoothie.. is that ok or should I eat an apple before the smoothie? And how much time before or after? I usually also have some DRIED berries every day (blueberries, cranberries, goji berries, etc.) I remember you've said dried fruit isn't the best, but I'm not sure why.. is it the same for dried berries? Thank you so much.. again :) Anonymous: Hi, dr. Cabral! I've been a listener for a year and a half now and enjoy all the different types of shows you do. Since you are really into Ayurveda and spirituality of sorts, I was wondering if you have heard of Human Design yet? It is a holistic self-knowledge system combining astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah and Vedic philosophy. It would be really interesting if you would do an episode about it or maybe even an interview with an expert on it.. I've only heard about it last Christmas but since then met lots of people that found great help in knowing themselves better through it, alleviating conditioning by society and overall starting to accept themselves better because of understanding oneself. Including me. Hope you find it interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. I got excited when I saw CNN with the news headline "Eating fat can lower stroke risk, study says, as long as it's the right kind" https://edition.cnn.com/2021/11/09/health/fat-stroke-risk-wellness/index.html but got disappointed as the article went on. The American Heart Association director & senior scientist went on to promote liquid vegetable oils corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, which are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, and monosaturated like canola oil. How does one tell their family, coworkers, clients and friends to stay away from those plant based oils when the AHA, of all people, are promoting them? Darren: Hey Dr. Cabral. I've been wondering, do you still maintain your weekly fast since you've embarked on the muscle gaining journey or do you put it on hold to attain that current goal? Also have you noticed any drastic pros or drawbacks since you began? Keep up great work. Anonymous: What's the reason for accelerated heart rate after meals? No change in diet. All the same. I've started experiencing heart palpitations and accelerated heart rate and sometimes even twitches after my meals. Even with smoothies. It happens the moment I put something in my stomach. Really weird.

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 Doc! Words cannot describe how grateful I'm that I found you a few years ago. You have helped me in so many ways, and still are! I have a question about HSP's or Highly Sensitive Person's. I'm one if them, however, I'm not balanced YET in my mind and body. So my question would be, is there an underlying physical root cause behind the reason people become HSP's? Is it something that will go away after rebalancing the body and mind? I don't talk for others HSP's, but at least in my self, I can se patterns of Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Is there a connection between HSP's and ASD? I would love to hear your viewpoint of this specific topic. Anonymous: Hi Doc, I'm an IHP level 1 & 2 certified. I did all labs and all protocols accordingly and maintain a healthy routine based on the destress protocol. I was doing very well until I travelled to South America and started experiencing a lot of anxiety. The anxiety is worse after I eat, especially breakfast. I'm not sure what happened. The breakfast didn't change as I took all of the ingredients from home (except oats which I bought local GF oats) and my supplement protocol remained the same. I even stopped all supplements to see if that would change anything but anxiety, especially heart palpitations is still very much present and as I said, get's very bad after meals. I didn't have this before travelling and I'm not experiencing any digestive issues whatsoever. No bloating, gas, pain, nothing. It's just this shortness of breath, heart palpitations that is driving me insane. I've been eating the same breakfast for ages (banana, DNS, GF oats, nuts/seeds) with no issues but maybe I've developed an allergy to one of those suddenly? If it isn't a food allergy what could it be? I also get it after lunch (not as bad) as breakfast though. Dinner is less but still present. Anonymous: Hi Doc, me again. Forgot to mention that when this anxiety started, I've been having a lot of random body twitches and been very sensitive to external sounds. Funnily enough, it get's better when I'm around people and having a conversation so basically whenever I'm distracted. It get's really bad when I'm by myself (for example, when I'm on my laptop) and focused on something. Would you say that this could be a symptom of the anxiety? Have you ever come across someone having these twitches from anxiety? Or could this be something more serious? Anthony: Hi Dr Cabral, I'd be remiss if I didn't thank you for doing what you do, so thank you! Onto my question but first a little background. I'm a new RN and just accepted a job working from 7p - 7a, 3 days per week (the days I work every week will vary). I'm married with two children and suspect I'll be on a day schedule during my days off. Besides ensuring good sleep hygiene and optimal nutrition what are some actions I can take to ensure proper sleep and switch between days and nights? For instance, when trying to sleep after working nights should I use your sleep supplements before bed even though it'll be around 8:30am? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration of my question. Cheers! Anthony Gemma: Hi. Each time I have done a detox at a health retreat, I get excruciatingly painful cramps in my hamstrings and sometimes in my lower back too. Nothing seems to help them - unless it's paracetamol which I had to resort to once just to get some sleep! I'm wondering what might be causing the cramping? And how I can avoid for my first Dr Cabral detox, which I'm starting soon? And - if they do come back - any suggestions you may have for treating the pain? Many thanks! Lisa: Hello! Love your podcast and everything you do for the community. My father who is in late 50s has been diagnosed with MDS. He found out through a routine blood test and then subsequent bone marrow test and was shocked to learn he has MDS as he feels well. What are his options moving forward, what would you recommend? The doctors have put him on injections every 3 weeks to boost red blood cells count.

Many people have been led to believe that losing weight needs to be a struggle and you have to give up so much in order to achieve your goals… The problem is if you end up choosing a program that is built around deprivation and short-term success you will always struggle in the long term… That's why in my practice I teach people to find the underlying root cause keeping you from having a faster metabolism where you naturally begin to burn more calories and lose more weight (fat)…. So on today's #CabralConcept 2140 I'd like to share with you the 3 main reasons you stop losing weight and how to kickstart it - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2140 - - - 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)

Last week we discussed different types of fasting and how to choose the best type for you… But no matter what type of intermittent fasting you choose there is one way of fasting that should be universally accepted as a "fasting maximizer."

The great Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins gave a famous quote that sums up why many people fail to reach their goals… Much of the time succeeding in life has less to do with the actual doing and more to do with not getting in way of success… I'll explain in detail and what to do about it on today's #CabralConcept 2138 where I share how most people major in minor things - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2138 - - - 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! Francisco: Hello Dr. Cabral! I hope you had a lovely day so far. My question is related to multivitamins. I've heard so much controversy on this specific topic and there are so many individuals that state that multivitamins made from whole foods are the only multi vitamins that really work. That is why they're more expensive because they're the only ones that the body truly absorbs. This means that I've been taking a synthetic form of vitamins for years! For example, ascorbic acid for vitamin C, methylcobalamin as B12, etc. Apparently these are all synthetic so not absorbed and I should look for a whole food vitamin instead. What are your thoughts? Victor: I was listening to a house call and you mentioned how you don't recommend straight curcumin on a daily basis. I've been taking 500mg of curcumin with bioperine as part of my daily foundational protocol on top of DNS, omega-3pm, vitamin D, magnesium, vit C, zinc etc. I don't have inflammation but I just take it to optimise my health. What are your thoughts? Lindsey: Hello Dr. Cabral. I hope you are having an amazing day. Your podcast archive is always where I turn to when a friend is dealing with anything health related. I was surprised recently when I couldn't find a podcast talking about Guillain-Barré syndrome. Can you shed any light on this and possible ways to heal the root cause? You are much appreciated! Don: Recently, my tongue began burning throughout the day as if it is being continually scalded by boiling water. I have been told that Burning Mouth Syndrome may go away on its own in 3-5 years. Are there any other options which could give a quicker resolution? Thank you for the podcast and all you do to help others. Alina: I'm going to join all the others in thanking your for the work you do for the health community and for my own education! I have been struggling with SIBO for a few years and finally now on the CBO protocol. I recently have learned about food combining and food layering. I have listened to all your podcasts on it but still have a few specific questions. Are nut butters or protein bars with nut butters easier to digest than nuts in whole form? What protein will food combine well with oatmeal, quinoa, or rice? I see only carbohydrates and proteins pair well with vegetables (and carbohydrates with fats/oils as well). I love oatmeal but have heard it's important to have protein in each meal. I'm unsure how to do this with proper food combining. Also, should salads with a protein (like fish or eggs) not have dressing on it since protein does not pair with oils? What combines well with hemp hearts? Thanks I'm advance! P.S. I would ask your support team but I don't see an option unless you have Facebook? Mary: I never used to have scalp issues and about 3 years ago I began to get really bad folliculitis. I've tried antibiotics, I've cut out sugar, gluten, dairy and meat and still have terrible bouts of folliculitis that results in huge pus filled welts that are painful and itchy. Not sure what is causing it or why.

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: Katie: Hey Dr. Cabral! I know you've reviewed cookware before and I was wondering your thoughts on Le Creuset. They're not "nontoxic" but the stoneware and cast iron seems to be made of good materials. What do you think, and how can we know if pots/pans are made of high-quality, trustworthy materials? Gemma: Hi Dr Cabral. Thanks so much for the wealth of information you provide - it has empowered me to make significant positive changes in my health. I have been told by two different Ayurvedic doctors that I am tridoshic. My own personal take on it (with full awareness that this may not be accurate!) is that I have a vata mind, a pitta voice and heart and a kapha body. Is this possible? And do you have any specific tips for tridoshics to stay in balance? Many thanks. Christine: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for everything you do to help the whole world reach their health goals. I have learned so much about myself in terms of my own health and I am so excited to try your 21 day detox. I do have a question regarding the efficacy (and safety) of a heavy metal detox system called TRS detox spray. I did use this a few years ago in myself (for 6 months) and was thinking of trying it on my 5 year old son who is on the spectrum, but I'd love to hear your opinion first! Thanks so much! Marie: Hi Doc! I am always so relieved to have this option of consulting such an amazing expert as yourself. My question is about my eyelids. One of my eyes (left side) sits lower than the other one and is more downturned. I have begun to notice that this increases a lot after a night of drinking alcohol. On those days I can even feel the difference in my eye and the asymmetry is very visible as well. Having researched a little I see that this may be called ptosis and was wondering what the reason might be and what I could do about it? Drinking less alcohol is obviously an option but I am concerned that this may be an indication of something more serious. Thank you for your help! Marie Mary: I am addicted to your podcast! YOU are awesome. Thank you for all that you do. I have swim team Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:20-9:20pm (only time we can get pool time). I don't know what to do regarding post w.o. nutrition and sleep. I get home around 10:30pm. That's quite late to eat and still get to bed at a decent hour if i'm waiting 2-3 hours after i eat to go to bed for ease of digestion and good sleep. Is it best not to eat and go to sleep at a decent hour or is it best to eat some soup or broth (something easy to digest)? Is there something i can consume and go to bed about an hour later? I considered a smoothie but i put both fruits and veggies in my smoothie for taste purposes and that probably has too much sugar in it before bed? Please advise. Thank you! Dhanvi: Respected sir I am Dhanvi and I am 15 years old I love your podcast now I want to ask you some doubts 1. If due the stimulus an electrical impulse is created how can something like electricity travel from one neuron to thousand neuron without any loss of energy just with the help of chemicals called neurotransmitter 2.I actually know how sensory receptor in the ear creates an impulse but not sure how it carries the information when someone teaches someone something 3. We studied control and coordination chapter this year but despite this I am still not able to understand how an organ like brain can do amazing process called thinking how does it think !

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! Nicolo: I have noticed that my cuts take a long time to heal. Not the clotting part but just seems to take a lokng time to be fully healed. Summer: Hi Dr Cabral! I recently found your podcast and have been bingeing episodes, they are such a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for what you do! I had a baby in July of 2020, an emergency c section after being in labor for almost 3 days. Ever since birth I feel like my body is holding onto a lot of inflammation. I know a c section is a major surgery so it would take a while to heal, but now being 15 months postpartum I am getting very discouraged I will never look the way I did before again. I am already gluten and dairy free - and did a poop test with X Company and have cut out those foods as well (most cruciferous vegetables/nuts/beans etc). I am at a loss as to what could be going on. I workout fairly regularly, drink lots of water and eat relatively healthy. Could this be parasite or mold related? Or is my body holding on to weight because I am still breastfeeding? How do I go about figuring out how to get back to my body pre baby? Thank you for the advice! - Summer Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral What foods do you recommended to eat during a women's cycle at each phase, luteal, follicular, ovulation and menstruation? I am not referring to seed cycling but just general foods. As I have listened to your seed cycling podcast, but could not find any of other foods. Thank you so much Audrey: Hi Dr Cabral. My 2 month old daughter has a sub glottic hemangioma that was blocking 60% of her airway. The dermatologist and ENT have her on Propanolol and want her to be on it for the next 6 months. I hate the thought of my young daughter being on heart medication. Eventually these stop growing when she is 1 year old but since it's in her airway, we can't take any chances. Is there an alternative treatment I could be giving her? I am nursing her as well, so anything I could be taking to help her? Thank you so much Kristen: Hello! For the first time my almost five year old has had a fall allergy this year. He has a cough from something. He also has an allergy to egg and wheat. He has never been in antibiotics, was breastfed, and fights off viruses quickly when he does get sick. His dad has seasonal allergies and a few food sensitivities, so there is a genetic predisposition. What can I do for him that will help him get out of following down the same road? I know any type of strict detox is unrealistic for a young child. Thank you. Morgan: Hi! Love your recent podcasts on gut health. I have been struggling with gut health issues for years and trying to figure it out with conventional medicine only, which has failed me unfortunately. What do I do if I tested and I have parasites, SIBO, candida overgrowth and H. pylori? Where does one even start when you have ALL these things?! Please let me know, I am so lost on where to begin!

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: Holly: Hi Dr. Cabral, thank you for being such an inspiration and source of knowledge; you've transformed my health and now helping me transform my families too! My youngest son aged 3.5 often sleeps with his mouth open (breathing through it rather than his nose) I've heard you mention this isnt good and wondered 1. Why? 2. How I can make him a nose breather (if that's possible)? I also hear him grinding his teeth often in his sleep, is that something to worry about? Thanks again, Holly x Anonymous: Hi Dr. C! Thanks again for all you do. I am doing the CBO and following it to a T. I did have a question as some of the food listed on your sensitive gut guide are "not approved" when it comes to removing or limiting traditional FODMAPs. For example asparagus, broccoli, beans, beets, watermelon, and squash. What is the difference in your plan vs that? I know you have a method to your madness but just curious on your variations. Are those foods not actually fermentable in our guts? Also as we reintroduce new foods down the road, what symptoms should we look for? Would they just be digestive disturbances since this is a gut protocol or would they mimic food sensitivity symptoms? Thanks again!! Andrea: Hi! Thank you so much for answering my question! What is the minimum fat percentage you'd recommend for a woman? It seems like a very low fat percentage can sometimes cause hormonal dysfunction. Would you say 15% maybe? Catherine: Can integrative medicine help people who suffer from arrhythmia? Dar: I'm 39 years old and had low ferritin around 4. My specialist had a CT scan done and he noticed that one of my kidneys had shrunk quite a bit and believes only the one kidney is functioning but doing well. Is there anything I can do to try to regrow the shrunk kidney (most likely the MD said from a sports injury or since birth) I had told him I took a number of hits in physical sports growing up. Also what do you recommend for supplementing the remaining kidney with. Maureen: Dear Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your amazing podcast. I look forward to it every day and have learned so many tips to improve my health. My question has to do with eating seeds. Every day, I put 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds and 2 Tablespoons of Flax Seeds in the Daily Nutritional Shake. I blend this all up to make it easier to digest. I often eat Hemps Seeds later in the day for additional protein as well as pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds on my salad. Do you think this is too many seeds to eat in one day? Might I develop an allergy to them or is it hard on the digestive system to eat this many seeds?

It may sound strange, but one of the first places (if not the very first place) you should look for the root cause of why you have brain fog, fatigue, low mood, skin rashes, or acne is actually in the gut… That's because your gut is either helping you stay healthy by extracting life-giving nutrients, or it's causing your body to become inflamed through dysbiosis and increased intestinal permeability… It's also not as complicated as it may seem… And that's why on today's #CabralConcept 2127 I'd like to share with you an actual case study where we get to the bottom of those exact health issues and how we helped this client to rebalance their underlying root cause issues - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2127 - - - 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)

Today's podcast is a deep dive on how to use the science of intermittent fasting to safely burn more fat and boost metabolism while not damaging long-term hormonal health… The problem with how many fasting programs are being implemented is that they overlook the long-term consequences to favor the short-term results… This causes unnecessary metabolic health issues, which usually leaves you worse off from where you started initially… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 2126 we'll look at how to scientifically burn fat and boost metabolism through intermittent fasting (without the side effects) - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2126 - - - 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)

Have you heard of a stealth pathogen? What if I were to tell you that they are some of the most common root causes of dis-ease, yet conventional medicine almost never talks about them… Plus, they cause massive amounts of inflammation which can lead to all sorts of debilitating symptoms… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 2125 I'd like to share with you how stealth pathogens make you sick, tired, anxious, and overweight - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2125 - - - 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)

Is it possible to just visualize your goals and they'll magically appear? Maybe… maybe not. I haven't seen it happen yet to anyone I know, and for that reason, I like to be a bit more pragmatic in my approach… This means I teach people how to combine visualization, with concrete goal setting, combined with the ancient 3 part success formula… And that's exactly what we'll cover on today's #CabralConcept 2124 where we review the lost translation of the Be-Do-Get formula - enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2124 - - - 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! Nadia: Dear Doctor Cabral, thank you so much for all you do to help the community and for your very interesting podcast! I would like to ask if you could indicate me in which direction we could look regarding my dad's health. He is 62 years old, 5feet7 and weighs now less then 125 pounds. He has always been thin (even though he eats 3 times more then the rest of the family) but muscular. But now he really has just skin on his bones even though he still eats a lot (and healthy). He goes to the bathroom at least once a day, sometimes after every meal, which is very good. And his blood work came back normal. He's been trying to gain weight for years but he just gets more and more skinnier and is pretty preoccupied. He is very active all day, always working around the house, in the garden, loves hiking and biking. A Nutritionist told him years ago that it will be impossible for him to gain weight and that it's much easier for overweight people to lose weight. Do you have any advice on how my dad could get to a normal weight again or what we should look at? Thanks so much for your time and help, Have a great day, Nadia Erin: Vitamin c help!! Ok so i was told only to take food based vitamin c but all the other is synthetic and depletes copper....so can you please clear this up for me. I really appreciate it!! Ryan: Hello! I have seen recently a somewhat controversial opinion on D3 supplementation and would like your opinion. Usually, I'd gloss over something like this, but considering the high reputation of the source in the functional/integrative space, I thought I'd get your highly valued opinion. Quote… "D3 is not what they measure in a vitamin D test. They measure 25D. The problem is, they should be measuring 1,25D, and better yet, the ratio between the two. Supplementing D3 will raise your 25D levels which shuts down your vitamin D receptors and innate immune system function. Supplementing D3 above what we naturally get in food will massively increase calcium absorption. In a hard-drinking water world, that causes hypercalcemia, magnesium and K2 deficiency." Jamie: Hi Dr Cabral thank you for all you do. I have been listening for a very long time. I'll try to keep this short as I did try to search if you have talked about this before but couldn't find anything. I currently see a Dr who claims to be an integrative doctor local to me. I'm 33 year old female. I weigh around 130#. My symptoms have been thinning hair, nail fungus, zero libido, zero energy and pms 2 weeks prior to menstruating, (this has been for many years) increase of stress the past two years due to my job. . He did lab work and my thyroid levels are low, and vitamin d was low. He also told me that I should take Progesterone 100mg qhs for the pms symptoms / low energy. Long story short I'm taking t3/t4 15mcg daily (along with fish oil, vitamin d, b complex, magnesium from EquiLife) I had more lab work done recently and my IGF-1 is 208 (says it should be 280) and he is recommending Sermorelin therapy. I googled it and it sounds fantastic. All the things I need (energy, libido etc) but my question is being only 33 (no kids) is going to harm me in the long run taking these hormones? I know you can't tell me to stop, I just need advice on really what this Sermorelin therapy is and if it is going to hurt me in the long run taking progesterone "forever". Thank you Leah: Big thanks to you and the team for all the information you put out! If you must get the vaccine, and it is not your preference to do so, can you detox from it? And if so, how? Thanks! Andrea: My 9 year old daughter started menstruating this month. She is already taking a daily multivitamin, what other supplement would you advise her growing body would need to better support her during this stage?

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: Ryan: I know you're not a big fan of artificial sweeteners, but from what I've been able to find in the research, there seems to be many meta-analyses and RCTs, in humans, showing that there is no negative effect on bodyweight, glycemic variability or the microbiome, or that there is actually beneficial effects on bodyweight. Studies that show otherwise either seem to be in animals, or providing extremely large doses that would not be realistic for everyday life, or both. Is this a case of the science not being caught up to clinical practice and current times? Or is there definitive research showing the negative effects of artificial sweeteners in humans, in realistic doses? Would love if to hear your valued opinion on this. Thanks for all that you do! Marianne: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your show. My husband was diagnosed with PVC or Pulmonary Ventricular Contraction. He is on the medication Metoprolol to regulate his heartbeat. He's trying to reduce his stress at work and reduce his alcohol consumption. He drinks about 2 cups of coffee per day. Is there anything else he can do or take to help regulate the heartbeat without medication? Anonymous: Huge fan of the podcast, I listen everyday! One topic I've never heard discussed is the use of anti-viral medications. I've heard a lot about antibiotics and the bad effects they can have on our guts, but I've never heard about anti-virals. The reason I ask, my 3 yr old has been taking low dose acyclovir daily for the past year to prevent frequently recurring cold sores. We think they picked this up from an extended family member or daycare, since nobody else in our family has ever had a cold sore. A year ago they were getting them about every other week. When one would show up, we'd immediately start acyclovir to knock it out quickly, but when we'd stop, another one would pop up a week or so later. We've also tried low arginine high lysine diet, which didn't seem to make much of a difference. I asked our pediatrician about taking a lysine supplement, but they didn't feel comfortable with that b/c of age. The low dose daily has worked really well for us, but now I'm concerned it may be causing other problems. Since early July, I've noticed hives about every other day on my child. They're mostly on the legs and torso, not huge, and they don't seem too bothersome, but I'm wondering if long term use of acyclovir could've caused this, thoughts? And any thoughts on daily lysine use? Tony: Hi Dr C, I can't find anything on your podcasts about amino acid BPC-157. Have asked your support team they said to ask here. Carpenter since a young boy, now in my 60s, used a lot of pressure on my knees for my job property developing, floor tiling etc, at one point (in my 50s) it was so bad I couldn't get up off the floor; lucky enough found a fantastic acupuncturist which made it a lot better. Unfortunately can't find him anymore. Job slowed down but knee pain got a lot worse, struggled to walk on my right knee, even considered knee replacement, prefer to avoid GPs, hospitals etc and go down an alternative route. My daughter had me on a decent turmeric/curcumin, MSM, Proteolytic Enzymes and arnica oil, until she found BPC-157. After a few days of this I could walk. The only thing that bothers her is that it is synthetic. So we gave it a couple of weeks then stopped. Knee has been overall good since apart from an odd day here and there but to go from barely walking to what feels normal is more than expected. My mood has also improved maybe because I can walk! Previously felt as though the bones or ligaments in my knee were rubbing together and there was no fluid. Normal weight, 5'9 don't do any strenuous exercise, other than my job and walking. Thank you Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, My dad has had a dark spot (almost black and the size of a small mole) on the very right corner edge of his lower lip for the past year or so which has not changed. He has no desire to go to GP (had a few wrongful family experiences of being told something awful by a GP and it turning out to be wrong, so don't want to be looped into any fear mongering or pharmaceuticals). He is fine otherwise, in 60s, generally in good health apart from some stressful phases, eats a balanced diet, does love wine but never smoked/taken meds. I'm thinking maybe Angiokeratoma / vitamin deficiency or possibly hormone related. I've looked at the natural topical remedies that may help but wondered what may be best and whether topical iodine could be a solution? P.s. are you familiar with Indiumease?
