The Cabral Concept

When I was studying to become a Naturopathic Doctor I took a course that briefly went over the Holmes Rahe Stress Test... Although it was mentioned just in passing the inventory quiz left a lasting impression on how we get sick and dis-eased... I now use these questions in some form or another every day in my practice in order to assess how full a person's Rain Barrel is (before they got sick and currently)...

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! Judy: Hi! First off, my deepest gratitude for everything you and your team does! You've mentioned this on the show before but I was hoping you could elaborate. I recently found out I'm homozygous for apoe4. I was following a cyclical keto diet for about 2 years before finding out this information. My cholesterol was a high at 253, but my ratios were really good! I'm curious if you think those of us with this allele need to minimize all fats, including monounsaturated sources like olives and avocados, or are you only concerned with saturated? Thank you! Cole: Hi! I would love to hear your opinion on Kratom and whether or not you think it's safe to consume regularly. Thank you! Rob: Hello Dr. Cabral! First, thanks for all that you do! I discovered your podcast last year, and I am hooked. I bought your book a few weeks ago, and I really enjoyed it! I am not sure if this is the correct spot to send questions for your podcast, so if not, I apologize. I am a 40-year-old male for over a decade I have always been dizzy, suffered from anxiety, and am always tired. About eight years ago I was diagnosed with Epstein Bar Virus, and it was pretty bad. Two years ago, I noticed white spots on me and had been diagnosed with Vitiligo. I suffer from heart palpitations, and just this morning went to the ER for chest pains. All testing came back normal, as it did the handful of other times I went to the ER. A couple of issues were noted in my bloodwork this time- low WBC ( 3.3 - this comes back low on most of my bloodwork), elevated bilirubin (always have this), High MCHC (35.8), and low Monocyte Absolute (0.2). I can not remember a time where I felt good. I exercise, eat well, and have been to numerous doctors and specialists who cannot find anything wrong. I am hoping that maybe you may be able to see something that they don't. Any help is appreciated! Sandy: Dear Dr. Cabral, I was diagnosed with a high risk HPV after my last pap smear, and I really want to help my body expel the virus ASAP. Could you maybe give me some tips about the best way to do this? Thanks so much for your answer - and everything else you do! I always start my day with your podcast, and I know if anyone could help me, it's you! Sandy Jay: Dr Cabral, what do you think about supplementing with Bone Marrow as an alternative to Bone Broth. I would think that ancient peoples would've eaten bone marrow and so I'm wondering if you have any thoughts. I found a bone marrow supplement that comes from New Zealand raised cows. Jamie: Hello!! I have a question about my 10 year old son. He has had some bouts of anxiety over the course of the last two years. Nothing super dramatic but somewhat concerning when it occurs. A week or two of being fearful of eating for fear of choking, fears about something bad happening to him or his loved ones, fears of getting in trouble at school although he's a great student. A friend of mine mentioned the possibility of pandas syndrome but after reading about it he doesn't have most of the common symptoms (OCD and tics) but I can see where some of his fears overlap with common pandas fears. What would you suggest as a starting point for testing? Some say "all kids go through being fearful" but I can't help but wonder if there's more to this story? Is there something in particular you recommend as a starting point for young patients who struggle with anxiety? Thanks for your help! Mary: Hi there! My name is Mary, I'm 21 years old and have been listening to the podcast for a while now. Ever since I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme last year, I have been very interested in functional medicine and helping myself to feel better this way. I was on antibiotics for a while and now take valtrex twice a day along with many other supplements including activated charcoal, probiotics, vitamin c, cod liver oil, and a stamina blend. My doctor also has me on a diet of no dairy, no gluten, no fruit and no sugar. No dairy, gluten and sugar has been easier to give up but the natural sugars/ fruit has been much harder. I was wondering if this is normal to have this diet? Also I am almost equal in all ayervaydic doshas and want to help my diet to reflect that, how can I cater to all doshas while following this "lyme" diet? Thank you for all of your help, I hope to help people as well as you do one day! - - - Specific Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/919 - - - 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 Supplements: > "The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol" (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritio

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: Coty: Hi Dr. Cabral, your Podcast have quite literally been a life changer for me. I wanted to know your take on sarms and weight training. Their inital creation was for medical issues such as bone loss, mucsle dystrophy amongst other things. But applied to healthy diet coupled with 3-4 days a week in the gym, at very low dosages they been shown to have intense muscle mass gain and retention, increased endurance, and fast recovery/joint health. Sorry for such a drawn out question but I am interested to hear your unique insite on the subject. Thank you :) Diana: I love your show. I just found it a few weeks ago and have been catching up on older episodes, but it's certainly not something I can do in a weekend. I just finished listening to a different podcast series on candida, which shall remain nameless because I have major issues with how the alternative medicine professional who made it represents all traditional medicine professionals as quacks. In this podcast, the person stated that ALL antifungal medications (they never said whether herbal supplements were included in this term) cause candida to switch from a yeast to a fungus, which is the harmful opportunistic form. The only way to combat fungal candida, according to them, is to take undecylenic acid (specifically 10-undecenoic acid rather than the salt form calcium undecylenate) to encourage candida to revert to its yeast form. All other fatty acids, including monolaurin, are in some ways antagonistic to candida and will force it into its fungal state. I've also read conflicting opinions about whether candida can acclimate to herbal antifungals or not. Some say herbs merely discourage candida rather than killing it so there's no possibility for adaptation; others say candida can get used to herbs and will form a resistance against them so it's necessary to cycle the supplements. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. Obviously you believe in the herbal approach and also include undecylenic acid in your protocol (I think I've listened to the episode where you explain your protocol at least 4 times already). It's been difficult to find reliable information explaining HOW herbal antifungals work and even harder to find an explanation about undecylenic acid. Thanks for everything you do, and if I can get through the day without having to type "undecylenic acid" again I'll be very happy. Anton: Hello! I am really interested in alternative medicine, I live in Sweden and here we don't have any big titles in functional medicine. Everything that isn't conventional medicine is "alternative" and the only thing that is kind of accepted the non-conventinal way is chiropractic,massage and TCM. So my question will be; My dream is to be an ND (or something similar) and open a clinic like yours and help people in the alternative medicine way. I feel I little lost how to make it here in Sweden, Is the only option to move to Canada or US to get the ND degree, and start my clinic there? Thanks for all the valuable information, I use you as my Life-coach, you are my idol! Em: Hi Dr. Cabral, I suddenly have really bad allergies. Is there a cure for this? Don't want to rely on allergy medicine forever. Thanks! Judy: Is there a natural way to prevent motion sickness when in a car or plane? Also what are things I can do or take once I have the symptoms such as nausea, dizziness or headaches? Angela: Dear Dr. Cabral, My 9 month old has developed flushed red cheeks over the last two weeks. They have began to get a little scaly and very dry. The Dr said it was eczema and I am so upset and lost as to how it happened as I follow most good health principles. For example: - he was born vaginally, naturally with no drugs - We allowed the vernix to sit for a week - whole plant foods were introduced at 6 months - We eat almost 100% organic produce - We eat limited amounts of pasture raised, organic meats and wild caught fish like sardines and salmon. - We drink spring water - We use limited soap, only a little organic body wash every few days. - We give him Epsom salt baths once a week - The house is cleaned chemical free with vinegar etc - Clothes are washed with soap nuts and vinegar - we give him nude time in the sun on the grass each day to help his vitamin d levels I am beyond frustrated as I feel like I am doing everything by the book and yet he has still gotten eczema. The things that I think may have contributed to this are: - He was mixed fed from about 2 weeks old because he kept losing weight when I exclusively breast fed (I have insufficient glandular tissue) and I was able to mix feed between breast milk and organic cows milk formula for only 6 months. Now he gets all his milk from organic cows milk formula. - I make home-made milk kefir and he has some most days. I was

One of the best parts about my work is that I get sent "insane health articles" everyday where people want to see what my take (or reaction ; ) would be to them... One of those articles was entitled, "The 8 Unhealthiest Meals in America," and I have to say that the headline lived up to the hype! Besides sharing those 8 meals with you, I also want to review what I consider to be the best everyday EMF Meter for your home and office - I now consider it an essential health tool for everyone to own (or borrow)... Plus, on today's show I want to detail all the healing benefits of the "master antioxidant" that each one of us produces naturally when our body contains the proper vitamins & minerals ...

For most people I'm an advocate of full-body workouts done 2-3x per week... This will give you the metabolic resistance training work that your body requires to boost metabolism, balance hormones, adapt to stress, increase endorphins - while at the same time not burning out your nervous system... But, for a certain percentage of the population there is a time and a place for split body part training routines that can amplify your results...

If your goal is to transform your body and lose weight, you absolutely must get these hormones under control... Without balancing your hormones, you simply won't be able to process carbohydrates, stress, and toxins, or eliminate fat the way your body was intended to... This means that simply exercising more and eating less will no longer work for you if your hormones are "out of whack"...

Ayurvedic Medicine is one of those topics that keeps you humble, yet yearning to learn more... It's been over a decade now since I was introduced to the healing science of Ayurveda and it never ceases to amaze me how in depth this ancient knowledge is... This is why I want to share with you how to distill a 6,000 year old form of medicine into something you can (and should) use everyday in your own life...

I used to try to maintain a happy and "zen" mood 100% of the time until I realized that not only is that goal not possible, it's really not that healthy... So although I now believe it's best to allow yourself to experience every emotion in life, it's also equally as important to be able to pull yourself out of a low mood quickly - Because if you don't, you risk affecting every other area of your life with potentially long-lasting repercussions...

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! Janine: Dear (team) Stephen, First if all i would like to dat that i absolutely love your podcast, very inspiring!! I have a question about the 21 Detox: I live in the Netherlands, So it is not possible for me to order the 'all nutricion proteinpowder'. What can I choose instead of the poeder to make my morning shake with? (So I get the protein en vitamins that are in the poeder). Thank you in regard for answering. With kind regards, Janine van wijck Deanna: Hi there, I've been dealing with intestinal issues since 2010. I eat relatively healthy, drink lots of water and exercise. I've tried diets/pills but it never seems to be the answer to my problems. I drink a herbal tea every night in order to have a bowel movement in the morning. I don't have extreme symptoms, I have occasional gas and bloating but I am always constipated and usually very irritatable. I feel I may have a bacterial overgrowth. I'd like to finally get to the bottom of this and heal my gut, balance my gut and get to living a life that does not revolve around my gut issues. Could you please help me with this. I am willing to do whatever it takes. Thank you. Deanna Doherty Linda: Your site was recommended (from friends) that got their health improved over three months. I have been sick for over 5 years double over with stomach and intestinal pain, bowels vary from diarrhea, severe gas, upper reflex, constipation, bleching, my rectum is always burning. I have many test and the results were negative, I was told to take nexium 2x a day for the rest of my life, I am not on any regular medication due to the high cost. I took myself off of the stomach pills because there is little results, I just stopped Gabepentin, migraine medication. I suffer with asthma. I am so frustrated and with no medical insurance I don't know were to find help. The last 5 years I have noticed my tigger foods any thing in onion family, garlic, black pepper, sugar, nutmeg are a few that give me extreme pain. My question is how can I narrow my search to what will help, I started a program in September protein shakes and have lost over 50 pounds but I am still very over weight. I also have autoimmune disease since 1995. Thank you Linda Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral! I give my 2 1/2 year old 1/4 scoop of your DNC in her morning smoothie, 1/4 teaspoon of your DFV plus I was giving her Klaire Lab Infant probiotic still but I just ran out. Not sure if that was the best for her infant to 2 years, but it's what had been recommended to me. Can I give her a portion of your Daily Probiotic at this point in time? As far as boosting immune system before traveling via airplanes I always would give her elderberry, extra probiotic and I'd sprinkle camucamu on top of that concoction. Is Camucamu still a good choice or could I give her a portion of the Full Spectrum Vitamin C? She is about 23 pounds. Thank you for all you do!! Cara: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am almost through your Rain Barrel Effect book - it is absolutely incredible and very practical for everyone as a foundation. I'm curious about your take on furniture - couches and beds without flame retardants, they are hard to find. We got ourselves an Intellibed when I was pregnant because it doesn't have flame retardants - they use silica thread to serve that purpose. We got my daughter a Naturpedic mattress. We got a couch at a boutique place where it was refurbished and no chemicals. Just thought I'd check in and see your mattress / pillow recommendations. I know you gave a great bamboo sheet recommendation. In gratitude!! Thank you for all you do!! Donna: Greetings Dr. Cabral, I have three options of daily contact lenses I'm looking at and would love your advice on the following;1. Acuvue Moist contacts in a solution of 58% H2O in buffered saline with povidone. 2. Bio True contacts in a solution of 78% water immersed in a solution of borate buffered saline. 3. Aqua Comfort Plus in a solution of 31% nelfilcon A, 69% water, in buffered saline containing PEG and HPMC. The saline may contain up to 0.05% Poloxamer. Also, are contacts safe to wear out in the sun or does the sunshine effect the material of the contacts like heat does to plastic bottles? Thank You for sharing all of your knowledge, experience, and advice on so many topics relating to health and nutrition. Respectfully, Donna Danelle: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to a ton of podcasts and yours is my favorite. I'd love to know what kind of diet you follow. Maybe you could tell us what you normally eat in a day? Much gratitude to you, Danelle Zhang: Greeting Dr Cabral. I have a question about the parasite test you use. I've heard from another functional medicine practitioner (Evan Brand) that the GI-Map genetic based stool test is the best stool test on the market. I am wondering why you feel Bi

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: Sean: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've been listening to your podcasts for the last few months and I'm really loving them! I have a question for a friend of mine that's dealing with an issue. For the past 5 years she has been experiencing a sharp pain in her right side (just below ribs) and she's gone to a general practitioner several times to get help. They've done ultrasounds and X-rays and haven't found anything that would be causing the pain. I thought I'd reach out to you on her behalf so she can figure out the issue and hopefully overcome it! Thanks! Sean Jennifer: Hi there, I have two questions. 1. Is the Daily Protocol Powder appropriate for nursing mother's to take, even though the green powder contains spirulina? I am taking an IV of antibiotics during my delivery and would like to get back on a gut healing / vitamin rich protocol as soon as possible. 2. I suspect that my mother-in-law may have candida overgrowth and she is interested in testing with Dr. Cabral. Is it better to set up a consultation and go through the 3-month program with Dr. C or a health coach than independently order the lab? I know that she will benefit from having a tailored program with 1:1 support, and think that applying for the consulting package is better. Thank you! Jennifer Kim: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for the show, love your podcast! I have 2 questions: 1) which non-hormonal contraceptives can you recommend? except condoms. what do you think about the copper spiral? 2) Is Stevia ok? Thanks a lot and best regards from Germany, Kim Lorenzo: Hello Dr Cabral! I am 32 and have gone through many fitness transitions over the last 15 years from distance running to power lifting to couch potato then crossfit. I've been listening to you for over a year and have moved to your recommendations of a full body routine 2-3 times a week and have been feeling better than ever. I would like to start incorporating more explosive lifts, just because I enjoy them. How would you include kettlebell and barbell clean and jerks and snatches in your full body routine? Chris: Hey Doctor Cabral, my question is about adaptogens. About a week ago I started taking adapt, 2 with breakfast and 2 with dinner, to help with my healing from adrenal fatigue and balance cortisol levels. A week before that I finally was able to get really good sleep consistently, finally and be able to sleep the entire night without being woken. I figured adding hpa adapt to my regimen would give me that last kick to help calm my body. At first I felt really calmed down from it almost too calm, but it felt better than being too high energy. Cut to a week later and now my body although it doesn't feel anxious energy, it feels a lot of energy being so that I cannot fall asleep at all at night, no matter how much melatonin I take my body literally won't shut down. I'm curious as to why that is, I know that adaptogens are supposed to adapt to stress but going from too calm to too wired seems weird. I will also mention that I am a 26 year old pitta and I've tried taking a b complex prior but that makes me very jittery. Thanks! Valerie: Hello Dr. Cabral! Really enjoy your Podcasts and I look forward to them everyday. I switched to a Whole Foods Plant Based (WFPBD) in early March and I feel amazing! I've read that a women should be getting about 48g of protein per day. I try and have three 1/2 cup servings of legumes a day. I wanted to add more throughout the day. My job doesn't allow me to sit down and have a meal so, I bring my food in small mason jars. I usually try and have a main dish ( in a hot flask) and two different kinds of vegetables in my mason jars as well as fruit. I saw a Holistic Nutritionist and she said as a WFPBD is incomplete protein, I can have as much as I want. Today I listed to a YouTube video, by Dr McDougall and he said no more than a 1 cup serving a day, as to much protein leads to calcium loss, even if your on a WFPBD. Dr. Gregor says only 3 servings a day and he states that the incomplete protein statement is invalid, as there have been no concrete studies done to prove this. I find it confusing and a lot of conflicting information. What is your views on this? How much protein should you be getting, when on a WFPBD? Mea: Hi Dr Cabral, I have intermittent knee pain, but my DO cannot find anything structurally wrong with my knees. This is making me think it may be an inflammation issue. After 1.5 years of this, I am ready to cut the dairy, gluten, sugar, soy, corn out of my diet but if was wondering if you have any additional recommendations. I am 30, female, no history of injuries, and my work out routine has not changed. I eat mostly whole foods aside from milk in coffee (could coffee also be part of this?). Also still battling acne since my teens. Your podcast is wond

I hope you've been having an amazing week and I'm looking forward to bringing you today's #FridayReview! After a much needed vacation last week in the great state of Maine, I have some fun (and also disturbing) research to share with you on how long it takes for your food to arrive at the grocery store...

When it comes to exercise you essentially have 3 camps: 1. There are those people that love to exercise - it boost their spirits and they couldn't imagine living without it... 2. Then you have the people that exercise, but only because they need to to stay in shape, or because they know it's healthy for them... 3. And then there's the last group that has no interest in exercising even though they know (deep down ; ) it would help them transform their body and get healthy... Well, the good news is that no matter what group you fall into there's actually some compelling research that can provide you with the bare minimum that you really need to be doing, as well as the maximum you should do...

I consider it a great privilege to get asked to answer hundreds of questions a day and luckily I have an amazing team to help our community... Also, having the ability to see what people care about the most allows me an endless stream of podcast and article topics... One of which that has been popular lately seems to revolve around how many grams of carbohydrates, protein, and fat you should consume per day... And while I've created extremely precise diet plans like this for athletes, figure competitors, and celebrities, for the everyday living it's simply not worth your time (or effort)... The reason I say that is because you can get 90%+ of those same results without all the weighing, measuring, and stress...

It would be hard to imagine completely optimizing your health, body, happiness, and longevity without fully understanding your body type... Without that knowledge, you simply wouldn't know the diet, exercise, sleep, and other healthy lifestyle factors that best match your unique body... And once you do know your Ayurvedic Dosha (body type) you will begin to transform your health, mind, and body in ways you could have only imagined since you'll no longer be fighting the process - Instead you'll be working in harmony with your own bio-individuality....

With every mistake I make I seem to begin to understand deeper truths in life... One of those truths occurred to me some time ago now, but I've never forgotten the lesson... It has to do with assuming I can get more out of life than I am willing to put in... It just may be one of the most important things I've ever learned and I wanted to share with you an example I've seen play out over and over again in my personal and professional life...

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! Ashley: First off thanks for all of the amazing podcasts, I'm fairly new to them but you're the only podcast I listen to on a regular basis because the information is so applicable to not only my life but the lives of people around me! Quick question, I'm from Indiana and recently went on a snowboarding trip to Keystone, CO. The second day I noticed a headache that Dr. Google led me to believe was a tension headache and my resting heart rate was in the hundreds, I believe I was experiencing issues with the altitude and it seemed to get worse until we boarded the plane to head home. I believe my Indiana lungs / heart couldn't handle the elevation. I don't plan on giving up traveling to these high elevations, is there any way to prepare my body for another high altitude trip? Normal resting HR in the 60's, drink recommend fl. oz. of water per day if not more, hot yoga recently started, lift 3x a week, no caffeine drinks ever...much room for improvement though! Thanks for everything! :) Merrin: Hi, I have been battling a mild candida glabrata vaginal infection for 12 months. I've tried the candida diet and boric acid but nothing has worked. I'm about to start a 5 week course of amphotericin cream and am wondering if you have experience in helping women specifically with candida glabrata (non-albicans)? I'm in Australia, so do you do skype consults and how do I access any necessary supplements? BTW - I love your podcasts! Don: DR. Cabral, For the last 7 to 8 years I've been dealing with what my Urologists calls pelvic floor dysfunction. Meaning when I eat certain foods it causes my bladder to spasm which pushes on my pelvic floor tightening the muscles, making me feel like I need to use the bathroom more often. The worst time for this is of course at night. Often this can be severe enough to cause some burning or stinging at the end of my penis. I first noticed this after eating sweet fruits like pineapple, mangos, spotted bananas, and citrus fruits especially lemons. But the past couple years it has progressed to foods like sweet potatoes, cooked carrots and occasionally squash. My urologist said the only thing that I can do is eliminate the trigger foods, but the list keeps getting longer. Also I've noticed stress and any type of single leg exercises (like lunges) can aggravate this issue as well. Things I've have tried; deep breathing, meditation, kegels, an anti-anxiety medication, and yoga, none of which seemed to help. Is this a pelvic floor issue; meaning my pelvic floor needs to be stretched or strengthened? Or do you think it is something internal going on that I need to get taken care of? I want to make sure I am making good choices financially to get this handled, but I'm not sure if I should run one of your lab tests first or just go straight to the Urinary Protocol, or maybe it is something else like Candida Overgrowth. P.S. Love the show, I originally heard you on Renegade radio with Jason Ferruggia. I'm so glad I found you. Thanks, Don Emily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm a 26 years old female experiencing thinning of hair and hair loss. I have a section that is becoming bald. I have been on birth control pills for 10 years. No family history of hair loss. Relatively healthy. Not stressed out. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help Gail: Hi Dr Cabral, Love your podcasts, they have given me so much inspiration to get well.Ten years ago I had breast cancer.Lumpectomy,6months of chemotherapy,12 weeks radiation,steroids etc followed by 5 years of follow up meds,etc. My thyroid went crazy, been on thyroxine ever since.I would appreciate your advise on a place to start on my way back to health. Cheers Gail Celeste: Hello Dr. Cabral, Much like you, my introduction to natural healing and functional medicine began after I had an ailment that medicine couldn't solve. The healing I saw my body do for itself was so life changing that I decided to change my entire college path to try and leverage schooling to educate others about our body's natural ability to heal itself. I am about to graduate from college with a basic Health Science degree. I was just wondering what advice you had on my next steps? I want to go to graduate school eventually. I have been going back and forth between some type of Nutrition degree, PT school, or....? I am at a loss for where to go. My ideal job would be a health coach or something along those lines. Do you have any recommendations for a graduate program or certificate program I can begin to look into for the upcoming few years? Thank you! Carla: Hi Dr. Cabral, Is there a way to naturally restore thinning skin? I'm 36 and was treating what I think are flat warts on the back of my hands with tea tree oil, and while it hasn't seemed to do much for the warts it's significantly th

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: Kara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I purchased the greens for the time being assuming it was gluten free (I have celiac's) like your Equilibrium greens. After a few uses I was reading the label more closely and there is no gluten free certified mark on the container. I have stopped use but before I give the product away I wanted to get your opinion if you think greens is safe. Some websites said it was gluten free while others had no mention of it being gluten free or not. I know contamination can come from incorrect timing of harvesting wheat and barley grass. Sophia: Hi Dr. Cabral/team, You were recommended to me as a good resource for potentially getting a second opinion on some medical issues I am having. I am a 25 yo pregnant female. The back story is I have always had hypothyroid symptoms but normal labs by standard western medicine guidelines (tsh) in August of 2017 I decided to see a naturopath who tested my thyroid antibodies and also found a large nodule on the left side of my thyroid. My antibody results were elevated indicative of hashimotos which runs in my family. The naturopath suggested I see an endocrinologist for evaluation of my nodule. I had an ultrasound done this January which was abnormal and suspicious of malignancy. I had an FNA to follow which again came back with abnormal but inconclusive results. My sample was sent for genetic pathology screening which came back with a BRAFV600E mutation 95% positive for malignancy. It is being recommended I have a complete thyroidectomy once the baby is born. I want to do what is best but something doesn't sit right with me about taking my whole thyroid out. I am trying to educate myself as much as possible before October when I make my final decision. I'm mostly concerned about the impact not having a thyroid will have on my overall health and if I do need to have it removed what can I do to try and counter negative effects. I'm hoping for a second opinion of a complete thyroidectomy sounds reasonable in my case. Thank you!! Sarah: Hi! I came across Stephen Cabral's podcasts a month ago and I've been watching everyday ever since :) Just wanted to let you guys know that they've been so so so helpful and I wish I had found them earlier.. anyways thank you for doing what you're doing and here's my question: Why do I get so bloated whenever I take my morning smoothie breakfast? Here's usually what's in my smoothie: frozen berries (sometimes frozen bananas) + 2 tablespoon pea protein + quarter avocado OR coconut milk + 1 pc dates/fig + kale + sprinkle of cinnamon powder and toppings are a mixture of chia seeds + activated nuts and seeds + goji berries/mulberries, unsweetened coconut flakes + buckwheat + occasional sprinkle of cacao nibs. I'm also on a paleo diet (8 months now) and I take digestive enzymes, gut repair supplement, probiotics and aloe vera juice to heal my gut. Initially when I first started having the breakfast smoothie I felt good but I'm not sure if it's because I've been taking the breakfast smoothie too often that my body started to develop some kind of intolerances towards it? Thank you!! Sarah Ryan: I recently took the Food Sensitivity Test and tested high for Dairy, Wheat Gluten, Eggs, Bakers & Brewers Yeast, and Alomonds. So I have a few questions: (1) I'm finding very hard to find foods that don't contain all of these, especially snacks, as most of the GF items I find are made with Almonds. Any suggestions on what i can eat or where i can find a list of good choices? There are only so many fruits and vegetables I can eat before I want to rip openn a bag of potato chips and eat the whole thing. (2) Is Gluten Free the same as Yeast Free? If not, please explain the difference and how to go about reading labels, what to look for, and suggestions on what to eat (see #1) (3) How do you calcualte the # of calories you should eat per day; AND; how do you calcualte the % ratio of Macros. I know you aren't supposed to self diagnose your bodytype, but I think I am an Endomorph / Mesomorph currently weighing 205. I'd like to get down to 195-200. I do intermitent fasting (16/8 protocol); my first meal is at 12:00 and I have the Daily Nutritional Support shake, next meal around 2:30-3:00, and dinner around 7:30. There are so many caluclations out there on the 'average' male. Can you help in explaining the right way to calcualte calories and % breakdown of MACROS (Protein / Fat / Carbs) Why do you need to calculate your macros? Unless you have a rigid fitness goal there's no need to be so rigid. Check out all my previous prodcasts on how to make your plate 50-75% vegetables. Starch for weight gain. Chris: Hey Doctor Cabral! After finally healing my gut and now that I'm able to tolerate herbs such as ashwagandha which used to give me brain fog and anxiety,

Staying in shape doesn't have to be as hard as we make it out to be... And yes, exercise should be a component of that, but not just in terms of transforming your physique... Moderate exercise has been shown to help with almost every area of your life including: Sleep, mood, stress, aging, immunity, disease prevention, and much more...

The worst thing you can do is to realize that something is wrong with your body and then deny the symptoms are there and just brush them off... This never works out in the long run and often times leads to a worsening of the original weight, wellness, or aging issue making it harder to rebalance in the future...

What if I were to tell you that what you suffer from right now has already been figured out and "cured" many thousands of years ago?

I used to ask myself all the time what's the whole point to what seems to be a mundane day-to-day existence... I simply had no idea what I was supposed to be doing and I had little idea what the point of it would be anyway... But then I started to read more and educate myself on ancient philosophies, as well as modern day clinical psychology... I began to realize not only does our existence not lack meaning, but on the contrary we have so much to live for!

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! Anne: Dr Cabral, I just started into a new case of daily nutritional support. I buy the 6 and get 2 free amount every several months. I started with a 2 week detox and have continued for the last 14 months with a shake for breakfast, plant based lunch and reasonable dinner. I have lost 40 pounds and went from 160 to 120 #. So thrilled with my new me! Thank you! I just am disappointed again with the flavor change of the daily nutritional support. I got a batch a half year ago or so that was tasteless and I found out the stevia was left out. My next batch was back to great taste. Now this new batch is pretty tasteless again and wondering what the difference is now? I'm mostly disappointed with the inconsistency of the product...it is very expensive for me to buy and I'm hesitant to keep purchasing it if the flavor keeps changing. Madison: Hi there! I heard of your podcast via Melissa Ambrosini, and it came at the *perfect* time. After running a stool sample + blood work with my local chiro and finding klebsiella pneumoniae and microbial yeast overgrowth (candida). We did a standard treatment he always prescribes for this, cut out kombucha and I started eating all foods (I'd been gluten/dairy avoidant for years, thinking it was a dairy allergy). Things got better until they didn't... and now, 6 months out, have worse abdominal bloating and discomfort than before. (I'm talking side/liver pain, terrible + embarrassing gas, discomfort and going from loose stools to constipation and back again. IBS seems to be the thing all the doctors are saying, as I can't trace *one food* that causes an issue consistently. It's dairy, sometimes. Smoothies, sometimes. Greens, sometimes. Wheat, sometimes. Things really flared up after traveling to Australia and eating the airplane food. I feel strongly after listening to your podcast that your candida protocol would serve me well! I don't think it's just IBS, especially after having this testing. Plus, I was on a z-pack 3-4 x a year, *every year* as a child, on antibiotics for acne and birth control for a few years too. My main question is: do I need to do more testing since it's been 6 months? Or am I good to purchase the full protocol based on the blood work and stool samples I already have? I'm open to applying to work one on one, however know it's a large financial commitment and if I already have the tests, it might not be necessary! Thanks so much for taking the time! I look forward to completely healing! -Madison P.S. It's worth mentioning that diverticulitis also runs in my family, and almost everyone has gut issues. It *could* be that too? Tiffany: I am seeing a Naturopath in Atlanta about my fatty lipomas under the skin. She seems to know what she's talking about and after listening to several of your podcasts, I think she has put me on the right path. I would love to know if you have had experience with lipomas and have successfully treated them? I am 45 y.o., 133 lbs, and work out 5 times/week. I am "healthy" by western medicine standards, but have had gut issues and am now on Dr. # 4 trying to figure out what's causing the lipomas to appear. Dr. Kate Brooks says they are related to blood flukes, and immune/gut/inflammation issues and I have been on a host of supplements and minerals for the last month. I hope this will work, as I'm spending lots of $$$ on these supplements (none are her own brand. she recommends different ones). Stephanie: I'm writing in about my 9 year old son. He has a bad case of Keratosis Pilaris. I searched previous podcasts for Keratosis Pilaris but couldn't find any so I'm here asking your expertise. He recently finished your children's CBO protocol and followed it up with the gut rebuilding. The bumps on his arms are a lot better but the ones on his legs almost look worse. He had a history of antibiotics as a child BC of kidney problems (which is why we chose to do the CBO protocol). Wondering if this is diet related or what we can do to clear it up? 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: Kylie: Hi Stephen! My name is Kylie and I'm from Australia. First of all I want to say thank you for everything your doing to help others all over the world. I came across your podcast only recently and have been binge listening ever since. The fact that you want to share your hard earned knowledge and reach out to help as many people as you can is truely inspiring! I am a mother of 3 beautiful children (9,7,5) and over the last few years have slowly felt my health start to suffer, where now I'm at a point where I feel completely overwhelmed, lost, unable to sleep, brain fog, moody, very VERY low libido, yeast infections, Dry skin, low mood and bloating. 6 years ago I learnt how nutrition played an important role in overall health. I eat clean whole foods- lots of veg, fruit, small amounts of red meat, fish, chicken, some nuts and seeds, healthy fats. No gluten, refined sugars, processed foods, alcohol or dairy. Bit of background- relatively healthy childhood. I was extreamly sick throughout all my pregnancies and was put on steroids for my 3rd pregnancy so I could just function. After I weened my 3rd child I noticed a huge hormonal shift that has never really normalised (negative mood, skin complexion, low libido, feeling down) Have been to doctors about my issues and without testing have just told me maybe I have IBS, pomphlox eczema (gave me steroid creams) and try to put me on anti-anxiety drugs. I have had a huge passion for health and wellness for many years and know that there is a root cause for all that's going on health wise for me. I have lost faith in my GP and want to start putting my health and my life together. On one of your episodes, you mentioned, that in order to heal, you knew you had to switch off your "fight or flight" response. That healing cannot commence until we are calm and in a parasympathetic mode. I want to know more about how you made this switch and where I need to begin to start getting myself better. I also start studying nutrition next month and want to have the energy and focus to do so. Thank you, and I hope you can help me. With love, Kylie Chris: Hey Doctor Cabral! I'm a 26 year old, Pitta, exercise 5 times a week (bodybuilding style) and only have a once a week cheat meal like yourself. Stick to a 40/30/30 Carbs to protein to fat ratio. About six months ago I finished your cbo protocol for Sibo, h pylori and e coli. Although the healing has been a long process, now I feel great, I have no more bloating or brain fog even when I eat high fodmap foods. Still healing my adrenals which are much better with recently adding bitter melon to stabilize blood sugar seemed to help a lot especially with sleep. My only problem right now is I am still Constipated if I don't consume at least 800mg of magnesium daily. Right after the CBO protocol I tried to re build stomach acid and used ginger tea with meals only to have a severe burning in my stomach which significantly felt like it eroded my lining irritating it. It made sleeping a nightmare as my stomach would be pulsing all night. I began to take colloid silver and healthy belly for 2 months in case there was any h pylori still there. Then I started taking pepto bismol morning and night as a coating for my stomach as natural herbs gave me brain fog. 3 months later and my stomach was healed enough to switch to slippery elm and marshmallow root which have done wonders in soothing my stomach but now since I stopped the pepto bismol it feels like my motility is even slower. Right now I take glutamine, your daily activated multi, vitamin d, fish oil, melatonin, slippery elm, marshmallow root, your daily probiotic and a digestive enzyme. Zinc in any form even with food makes me nauseous and cannot tolerate gse at all, very irritating. Never have been able to tolerate citrus well for that matter. Have one cup of coffee with theanine in the morning. I also notice occasional bubbly urine. And I don't think it's h pylori only because I always have HUGE appetite lol. But in case I was thinking I may need to do some more colloidal silver and mastic gum again or maybe work on cooling herbs like amla to calm down and soothe my pitta? Or maybe its the adrenals? Sorry this is long, just wanted to be thorough. Lab testing is a little out of budget right now so any advice is much appreaciated. Thanks and loved your book by the way! Elyssa: Hi! Big fan of your podcast and have learned so much from you. I'm 29 and suffer from a smell disorder, Phantosmia, for the past 10 years of my life along with anxiety. I was originally mis-diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and took several anti-Epileptic drugs for 6 years without much relief. When I got off all medication, I tried other methods of relief such as acupuncture with no success. I am now seeing a

In the not too distant past I used to coach some very high level Olympian, World Champion, and professional athletes... It was a lot of fun, but the stakes were much higher - A fraction of a second or minor deviation in technique was often the difference between winning and losing... However, during this time I also began working with special operations military and FBI agent candidates that were looking to pass a unique fitness test that they'd be judged on... It was the perfect blend of endurance and interval work that would prepare anyone for a survival based situation, which of course is why you had to be able to pass it to get into this elite club... Believe it or not, even though the years have passed, I've never forgotten about this specific "test" and I've even begun to incorporate it once again into my own exercise routine... So, on today's #CabralConcept 895 I want to share my high-level training philosophy which you that you can take anywhere in your life...

"Adrenal Fatigue" or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS/CFIDS/POTS) go well beyond simply feeling just tired... They are deep rooted nervous system, hormone, mitochondrial, and immune imbalances that have even deeper underlying root causes affecting those systems of the body... This is why it's important to understand what level of fatigue your body is in and how quickly you can turn it around... The good news is that there is one simple question to ask yourself to understand your level of adrenal fatigue and then a protocol based on that to move you towards perfect health (and abundant energy)!

One of the hardest things about preventative natural health is to worry about something that you can't see... And that's exactly the problem with trying to combat electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs)... This "electrosmog" is everywhere we go and the emissions from cell phones, modems, smart meters, baby monitors, white noise machines, and thousands of other devices are affecting our cells at a DNA level... This can lead to symptoms of fatigue, fibromyalgia, headaches, brain fog, inflammation, pain, hormone disruption, and even cancer...

Many years ago the Toyota company was one of the first corporations to adopt the Japanese phrase "Genchi Genbutsu" as their modus operandi... This led to their initial success and positioned them as one of the fastest growing companies at the time... Today, the philosophy of Genchi Genbutsu lives on and it's original premise is catching on as a way of cutting through the clutter of everyday life in order to find out what really needs fixing...

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! Kathryn: Hi Dr. Cabral, I love your podcast and I'm working through listening to ALL episodes. Everything you say I can find studies to back up and I trust your opinion more than any other doctor. To get to my question, I am a 33 year old female and do Ironman triathlons. I eat an extremely healthy plant based vegan diet. Even while training I stick to natural sources for fuel. I eat raw dried fruit bars and bananas for calories in replace of sport gels, for hydration I mix sea salt in water with lemon juice and honey as well as drink raw coconut water. My question is, what supplements do you recommend I should be taking daily to support my training? Right now I supplement with B-Complex liquid, vitamin D, a Probiotic, and Magnesium. I tried taking Iron for about 8 weeks but I had bad reactions to it so I stopped. I've thought about taking a Vitamin C and a daily multi vitamin and I've thought about trying your nutritional support shake, but I'm afraid I'll have a reaction to some of the ingredients as I have a very sensitive stomach. I usually can't digest processed foods. Right now in lieu of a vitamin C supplement I add Camu Camu powder to my morning smoothie, but that is only about 4 days a week. I know the recommendations for the average person, but with the training I put my body through with15 hours a week of swimming, biking, running, strength, and yoga, I probably need more nutrients, I just don't know what and how much. I appreciate all that you do and I look forward to listening to your answer. I've heard you say you work with a lot of athletes so I believe you will have a better answer for me than the average naturopath doctor. Thank you! Em: Hi Dr. Cabral - my mom was recently diagnosed with diabetes. How do I get her to adopt a healthier lifestyle? She eats unhealthy and usually snacks right before going to sleep. Thanks! Chu: Hi Dr Cabral, I am 37 years old and I've been having random twitches all over my body and dealing with ED issues for over a couple of years now. My doc wanted to put me on anxiety medication which I refused due to the side effect. I have a vata body type and yes I have been going through some stressful situation but nothing excessive. I was just wondering if this might be due a vitamin/mineral deficiency or something else? I recently started supplementing with zinc and B-complex. Also, I just started your 7-day detox a couple of days ago and was looking at purchasing the omega 3 but a friend informed me that Krill oil is better. They do both provide the same benefits correct? Thank you for your time. Christian: Hello Dr. Cabral and team, I have many questions, but will keep this message succinct. From listening to your podcast, I am almost certain that I have some kind of fungal or yeast overgrowth happening in my body. I recently had a CT scan that showed "tree-in-bud" nodules on my lungs, which is typically seen as marker of some type of fungal infection, furthering my suspicion of an overgrowth (possibly Candida?). I am going to see a pulmonologist specialist at UCSF in two days, and I am afraid they may want to take an open lung biopsy to confirm any suspicions of infections they may have, however I am almost 100% certain that a fungal overgrowth is occurring (I have other "symptoms" like random skin rashes, white coating on tongue, memory fatigue, sporadically intense sugar cravings, etc etc..). Would an organic acids test be able to show if I have a fungal overgrowth? Or is there any other test, besides biopsy, that could help my doctors at UCSF confirm their suspicions of fungal infection? Personally, I have known people to do your Candida cleanse protocol, and their "symptoms" cleared up fantastically. I would be willing to get on that same protocol, but am unsure if my western medicine doctors will understand my concerns of not wanting to have a biopsy done and will be trusting enough of my own suspicions. Can you tell me the method/s that you would recommend to test for Candida/fungal overgrowth? Also, can you recommend what i should say to my doctors at UCSF to better express my concerns that this "infection" is more likely an overgrowth that could be minimized or suppressed through detox and diet change? Thanks in advance, Christian Logan: Hello Dr. Cabral, love your podcast and how helpful you are to your listeners. I am a triathlete and I have been struggling with a necrotic (dead) sesamoid bone now for about 6 months. I haven't really been able to run since around that time. I had an MRI done and the Dr recommended working with a Physical Therapist who specializes in custom orthotics to help alleviate the pain around the sesamoid. I am currently still working with the PT, but we have tried 4 different kinds of orthotics, none of which relieving the pain

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: Cameron: Hi Dr Cabral, my name is Cameron, I'm a 42 year old male from Melbourne, Australia. I discovered your podcast a few months ago, after searching for answers to my medical issues, and since then I've been hooked. You've opened my eyes to the fascinating world of functional medicine, so thank you! My reason for writing is for advice on my Menieres disease that I was diagnosed with about three years ago, after a couple of severe vertigo episodes, along with tinnitus and hearing loss in my right ear. I have seen several ENT specialists, and had an MRI which came up clear, and done various tests to help confirm the diagnosis. As a result, I've been put on a low sodium diet, been prescribed Serc (betahistine) and a diuretic pill, and been told to also reduce caffeine, alcohol, and stress. I've also tried Ginko Biloba, and several different vitamins. The only medication that has noticeably helped is 2mg Valium pills, taken only when symptoms flare. After more sporadic episodes in the last year, usually lasting for a burst of a few weeks at a time, I had a steroid injection into my inner ear, which appears to have stopped the vestibular problems at least for now, however, the hearing problems and tinnitus remain. Hoping to find more help, and after hearing your podcasts, I started seeing a naturopath, who also used to be a pharmacist. She suggested an IGG food sensitivity test, which came back showing a strong sensitivity to egg and dairy. Up until then I loved eggs, and consumed whey protein powder on a regular basis around weight training. I'm currently on a moderate detox, and going to the gym more often to try to help with blood flow. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Menieres disease, and any suggestions as to what else you think could help me. It is a miserable condition, which I would do anything to get rid of. Once again, thanks so much for all you do, you're an inspiration, and I'm very glad I discovered your podcast. Regards, Cameron Judy: Consumer Reports did another testing for lead found in popular protein powders. It was particularly high in vegan proteins which are ones I would be more inclined to use, so I am very concerned. I am currently using the Cabral Daily Nutritional Support Powder which happens to be vegan as well. Is your product tested for heavy metals, and if so, what were the results of the test? I appreciate what you do to help support our health and I was hoping that as you continue to make enhancements to your other product lines, I would love to see more vegan friendly protocols. Stacey: Hi Doc, I would love to know what your West coast book tour stops are. Would you be able to give me the locations in Los Angeles/Santa Monica if these are on your stops? Alex: Hello, I'm a loyal customer (completed DCD, using daily Cabral supplements, completed sleep hormone testing and sleep protocol) and enjoy listening podcasts. My question is about varicose veins (not spider veins but deeper veins). I have very big, bulging veins on one leg and less severe case on the other. They first appeared over 30 years ago after my 1st pregnancy. 8 years ago I had a laser closure procedure that was not successful as it never repaired my veins and they continue to be very enlarged. Here are my 2 questions:- what would you recommend for treating or preventing further development of varicose vein? - i'm doing spin classes 2 - 3 times a week. Can that contribute to the enlarged veins? Should I avoid this type of exercise? And what is recommended? Thank you! Jenny: Hi Dr Cabral, I've recently had my annual pap smear and have been diagnosed with high-risk HPV, without abnormal cells. Could you let me know what's the best way to get rid of the virus as fast as possible? Which of your supplements would you recommend? I'd like to add that I eat a very healthy, mostly plant-based, diet and supplement with Vitamin C, Zinc, Selenium, Magnesium, B-12 and Vitamine D. I also drink green juices daily, and use superfoods like chlorella, spirulina, maca, Ashwagandha, etc. But I would love to hear your suggestions on what more I could do, as I value your opinion more than my doctor's. Very muck looking forward to your feedback! Susanna: Dear Dr. Cabral, I listen to your podcast every single day, and it has changed my life! I did your Candida protocol, and finally found relief after years of gut issues. Thank you for that! Now I have a question about a different health issue: I'm 41 and have been dealing with PCOS for 10 years now. I've managed to keep it under control with healthy diet and supplementation, but after 3 years of having it back, my period went missing again.. :( Which supplements/protocols do you recommend for balancing the female hormones, and hopefully getting my period back? Thank you for everything, y

Ben Pakulski is a living legend when it comes to transforming your body to the highest level imaginable... However, he's also a bit of an enigma in the fact that he spends a lot of his time talking about how to create change on the inside before you ever think about shaping the outer physique you desire... Now of course, on this guest interview I did ask Ben about his exercise training techniques and he was nice enough to share and breakdown his "S.S.I" formula that gives his clients and unfair advantage in the gym...

If you were to go back just a couple hundred of years, you'd be surprised at the various rituals people did on a yearly basis in order to stay healthy... You'd probably be even more surpirsed to hear that these had been handed down to them for thousands of years from their ancestors that knew the secrets to staying well... And, I think most people would be shocked to find out that all of these ancient practices are now being proven by medical science and lab testing to be accurate and necessary... Tune into today's #CabralConcept 887 to discover the 4 different cleanses you must do yearly to stay healthy - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/887

With an internet full of different diet plans telling us what's safe to eat and what's not it can be ridiculously difficult to figure out who or what is right... Besides that, we have a lot of plans that are meant to work in the short-term (and do work), but fail miserably in terms of long-term health and body transformation... One of the reasons for this is that diet programs that eliminate certain "healthy" foods by putting them on their "NO list," causes you to miss out on their extremely valuable nutrients that you need to prevent dis-ease and cancer... That's why on today's #CabralConcept 886 I want to share with you 3 so-called "unhealthy" foods that you should be eating on a regular basis to get well, transform you body, and live longer - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/886 - - - Read Dr. Cabral's New Book: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com

In my opinion the Rain Barrel Effect can and should used in every area of your life... Whether it be mental or physical wellness, weight loss, or anti-aging issues it's important to be aware of what's building up and causing stress in your life... In my opinion, we often give out far too much advice in our culture that revolves around what more we should be doing or adding to our life...

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! Carla: I have PCOS, and possibly endometriosis & some type of thyroid dysfunction (these two haven't officially been diagnosed, but I have symptoms that have lead me to think I may have them). As I learn more about my condition and how to heal myself through lifestyle & supplements, I also try to get rid of toxins, do detoxes, eat well & exercise. However, I've worked with fire resistant garments for almost 15 years of my life and recently I learned that fire retardants are endocrine disruptors. I'm not able to immediately leave that field of work. Is there a way I can protect myself? I recently started wearing gloves (but they are plastic which is possibly not ideal either) and a cotton mask to keep from breathing in the fibers. What would you recommend? I'm not sure exactly HOW bad it is to continue working like this or if it's something I definitely need to get away from as soon as possible. Thank you for any guidance! Kate: Hi Dr Cabral, I had my gallbladder removed 10 years ago but didn't drastically alter my diet until about 3 years. I eat a mainly paleo lifestyle (with occasional legumes), and I've discovered through recent bloodwork that I have deficiencies in a number of areas. Specifically with Vitamin D and also with my thyroid (I am well outside the "optimal" range but technically still "normal"). I take 3000 IU Vitamin D each day but after researching saw that having no gall bladder can lead to the inability to absorb fat-soluble vitamins as well as possibly affect thyroid and even cholesterol. Is there a way to overcome this? If I were to start taking your daily digestive enzymes, could that help my vitamin absorption? Thank you! Julie: Dear Dr. Stephen Cabral, A friend of mine suggested your podcast last week and I have binged listened ever since. I have dealt with different issues such as Candida and fatigue. I overcame Candida with an elimination diet. Or maybe so I have thought… I have had my thyroid tested and it is normal. All my markers are normal except they found that I have Kidney disease. They were not able to find the root cause of it… My glomerular filtration rate is currently at 46 mL/min. The nephrologist stated that since I am an athletic build that is why. I am currently dealing with mood and fatigue. So if you can point me in the right direction of testing and why, that would be very helpful. Thank you! Julie Johnson Jill: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a friend who has achalasia. She has had the balloon dilation procedure done 2-3 times. It often works for a time and then she has difficulty getting food down her esophagus. I'd love to hear your thoughts on diet info related to achalasia, the possibility of overcoming it, and any steps she could take to find health/healing. My understanding is that it's an autoimmune disease ... and can't be "cured" ... ? But I know you overcame Addison's. Any help/direction would be so amazing! Thank you so much for these house calls!!! Claude: Hi! Don't know if you've already talked about this on your podcast: "Elderley's falls" (sarcopenia)?Is there anything i can do for my 93 years old dad?Thank you from Quebec.Canada Elizabeth: Dear Dr. Cabral - I found your podcast about 6-8 months ago after you appeared on EOFire. My daughter was "cured" from her gut, thyroid, chronic EBV through holistic/funcational/naturopathy and it literally gave her a life again! (She lives in Florida and we live in the middle of the country. )So thankful! But today, I'm writing about my husband. Genetically he is challenged. By that I mean that everyone in his family is/was obese. His 2 brothers died in their 50's, (one from a PE and one from untreated diabetes) His two living sisters are in their late-50's and early 60's. One is riddled with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and both are overweight. His father died of Lymphoma at 72 and his mother from congestive heart failure at 82. At 40 my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer, but considered cured from that. At 46, he developed progressive hip pain and the joint was so eroded that he had to undergo a hp replacement at 47. All the nsaids and steroids that he took for that and for years prior to that for a football (knee) injury lead to acute renal failure before the replacement was done. His knee was replaced about a year ago. He has a stressful job and works about 7 days a week. He was also diagnosed with osteopenia at 46 and used Forteo for about 6 months, but I just wasn't comfortable with him continuing that. Since then he has been on Prolea. Uses supplements from the Shalkee Corporation. Daily vitamin, D3, Calcium, Iron and CoQ10. About 2-3 years ago he began gaining weight and becoming more and more fatigued. But our diet had not changed and in fact has gotten cleaner and healthier due to my desire to feel my

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: Ali: I'm applying for the private concierge membership because I want one-on-one consultation with Dr. Cabral for a complicated situation that I'm in... I noticed that Julia and Caitlin are almost half the cost of seeing Dr. Cabral… is that cost difference a reflection of their ability to diagnose as well as Dr. Cabral, or is it more so a reflection of popularity because he's of course the man behind the magic of all of this? Thanks! Ali Libby: I've been listening to your podcasts for a little while, I can't find you addressing this question, and thought it would be beneficial for many people. My daughter is almost 13 and is struggling with acne and has had some learning disabilities. I was listening to you suggest that they both are gut related. She was on antibiotics a lot as a baby/toddler. She had reoccurring ear infections and strep. She then had tubes, adenoids out, and tonsils out. What would you suggest for an almost teenager in getting her gut healthy? Annie: I'm dating someone who has prostatitis. He's 30 and has seen a couple of MD's who all tell him not to worry about it. He used to drink quite a bit and has recently stopped which his doctors said is a good thing. He has pain in his low back and fell on his coccyx when he was little. We are working to strengthen his feet and spine, but the pain wakes him up at night when he changes positions and when he lays on a flat surface. He saw an acupuncturist that said sex is good for him and there isn't pain with orgasm. Is there anything else that you can recommend that he do to help remedy this? Thank you for your insight and all you do. Terry: Am I getting enough water when I only consume between 30 - 40 ounces of water per day? If I try to force myself to drink more water, it only feels like I have a fish bowl in my belly. I ONLY drink natural spring water or filtered zero water with concentrace mineral drops. No soda, no alcohol. I have organic green tea once or twice per week. I feel great and have zero dehydration symptoms I know of. I will drink more water if I go hiking, but, it's still not remotely close to 1oz per body weight. Once again, I feel great, but, if I try to drink more water, I don't feel as good. I've always been this way. Urine was clear until I started taking the active B complex vitamins, now it is Yellow due to the B vitamins. I am vata body type all the way. Male, 47, 6 ft tall, 125 and cannot gain weight regardless of how much I work out or eat. I recently saw a local naturopath doctor. No sibo, candida, nor parasites. Lots of food intolerance due to leaky gut, but already healing from that with help from her and from you. I am a huge fan of your show. Thank you for all you do! Peg: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you so much for all of the incredible information you share on your podcasts each day; I've learned so much from you over the last year and still find episodes I haven't heard yet. I've also recommended your podcast to countless friends for all types of advise. I've searched your archives to see if you've answered any questions about Bell's Palsy and I haven't been able to find anything on this topic. 3 Months ago after a long plane flight I woke up to 1/2 of my face totally paralyzed. I was in a foreign country and not near a hospital so I searched online for answers as to what may have happened and determined it was likely Bell's palsy. I contacted my pcp who prescribed a course of antivirals plus prednisone. Even though I did not want to take either, I could not find any other suggestions online so I tried them both without improvement. Once I returned to the states I saw my doctor who confirmed I have Bell's Palsy, but only based on a clinical diagnosis, no MRI. Can you please tell me what causes Bell's and what I can do to help to improve the symptoms? I've regained partial function in areas of my face but I far from back to normal. My doctor said it can take up to 6 months to go away and has no suggestions for treatment in the meantime. I am anxious to do something to regain my normal face back! So far I've done a few things on my own: Acupunture. Oral B12. Alpha Lipoic Acid. Please let me know if you can help, or if you have treatment suggestions. Thank you so much, Peg Lily: Hi! I am writing to you with a question regarding the blood panel test Dr. Cabral recommended on his podcast, Female Panel by Life Extension. I have been experiencing amenorrhea for about a year as well as persistent digestive issues (constipation, bloating), anxiety and now brain fog. My gynecologist sent me for some very basic bloodwork a few months back (FSH, LH, TSH, DHEA-S) but besides a DHEA-S level of 498 she said I seemed to be "in range". I have been recommended to take Spironolactone/birth control but I am focusing on addressing the under

Welcome back to the #FridayReview and we've got a great one today! First up I'll be sharing with you another (even cleaner) vegan gelato to enjoy on those hot summer month flex meal days... Then, I go back and forth over some dubious medical research on eye heath that shows how poorly done many of these "scientific research" studies are... Lastly, I reveal this week's super-nutrient that is referred to as the "Hormone & Adrenal Vitamin" because of its impact on energy and hormone production...

The 1st step in learning to eat better for your body is to discover the power of whole food (mainly plant-based) nutrition... The 2nd step is to go deeper into the nutrients in whole food and how that can effect your overall wellness, weight loss, and aging... The 3rd step is to uncover your bio-individuality and finally realize how some foods (even "healthy foods") may react negatively in our body based on our current condition in life...

A lot of people feel trapped because they believe happiness is something to be found... Unfortunately, this myth has been perpetuated by the media and as a results many of us travel all around the world in search of happiness, a guru, or enlightenment...

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! Alex: Hello Dr. Cabral, I'm a long time listener of your podcasts, have done DCD and sleep protocol. Thank you for educating the community, i've learned so much! I'm interested to find out when women should request a bone density test? Is it driven by the age (50s ?) or by having any specific symptoms? I've searched the podcasts but didn't find any reference to this topic. Thank you! Donna: When I do Russian Twists, I hear an echoey sound as I inhale/exhale when I twist from side to side. It's what I would imagine someone with asthma might sound like. I also have muffled hearing in both ears, mild stuffiness, and a little pressure in my forehead. I do not experience this with rowing, sprints, weight lifting, jump rope, or anything else. Could this be a symptom to a food sensitivity? I eat friends uit, vegetables, lean meat, salmon, seeds/nuts (NO Peanuts), No dairy except Kerry Gold Butter. I eat eggs from free range chickens. Any thoughts on this? (You are welcome to resend this pacific question if needed) Nicole: Hi there! I'm not sure which test(s) I should be taking. I'm 32 year old woman, do resistance training 4-5x per week, am about 13% body fat and am considered healthy. I eat pretty high quality food 90% of the time but do have the occasional treat (gluten and sugar, some dairy). I suffer from chronic acne on my chin (prominent around my period but I typically have redness and inflammation all month long). I am SO over it. After listening to the podcast, I may have some form of hypothyroidism. I really want to optimize my health, continue to feel amazing as I age and get rid of this acne I've been battling for a few years (after I had my son 7 years ago). If you can suggest which test(s) I should consider, I'd appreciate it. Thank you! Taylor: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently did the Candida and Bacterial Overgrowth Protocol and I stuck to it very well the whole time. I was feeling amazing around the 60 day mark. Around day 80 I started getting really bad gas pains, burping a lot in between meals as well as right after, and it has been going on constantly for 3 month. My digestive issues were never this bad and I am feeling unsure about what to do next. I also took 2 rounds of the Healthy Belly and have been on the clean gut probiotic and that hasn't seemed to change anything. I did some food sensitivity testing as well and nothing is seeming to show up. Do you have any recommendations on what I should do? I appreciate it! Lindsay: Hello Dr. Cabral. Thanks for all you do to bring overall health and wellness to the masses! 5 years ago I was diagnosed with post-partum depression and put on Lexapro (antiidepressant). My symptoms continued, even after seeking therapy and being put on the highest dose of Lexapro and eventually adding Wellbutrin, at its highest dosage. I struggled with massive downs which left me unable to leave bed for days and frequent suicidal thoughts, terrible irritable and an inability to cope with anything, and extreme dependence on outside stimuli to find happiness. Eventually it led to a referral to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me as bi-polar. Since being put on valproic acid (depakote) my symptoms have been much more manageable. I have been able to lower my dosage of both of my anti depressants, yet I still do take them. My question is - where do you stand on the use of pharmaceuticals in mental health? Would one be able to alter their chemical makeup through diet, supplements, lifestyle? I feel so great now that I am more balanced, but would ultimately love to not rely on pharmaceuticals. I should add that I take Vitamin D, Bs, multi, Fish Oil, Calcium-Magnesium-Zinc. I recently purchased a light box to sit under in the mornings for about 30 minutes, even though I live in a decently sunny area. Alisha: How does Lower back pain relate to low thyroid function? Mason: Hello! I love your podcast and everything you talk about so much. My question for you is this. I college student, and I just turned 20. It's been just over a year now that I haven't gotten my period.Within this past year of losing my period, I went away to college which caused a lot of stress to me, and I started to develop more of a plant based diet. I am not fully plant based, as I do eat meat and eggs every once and a while but not very often. I have been to my primary doctor about this. He did some blood work, and all of my hormone levels are normal. I have a pelvic ultra sound scheduled in May. In the mean time what should I do? Do you recommend that I get any other tests done? Should I incorporate certain foods/supplements to try and get it back? I want to get it back as naturally as possible. Thank you so much! Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mi

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: Brodie: Hi Dr Cabral. I thoroughly enjoy listening to your podcasts and really appreciate the knowledge that you share. I am travelling to India for approximately one month this year. I am worried about falling sick whilst I am there from food or other sources. Can you suggest some key supplements and natural first aid products that would be useful for my trip? I am not based in America and unfortunately cannot afford to purchase your products and then pay for shipping fees on top of the cost (I have already inquired with your team about this). I have previously listened to one of your podcasts suggesting that low stomach acid can contribute to some bacteria illness'. I was wondering if a product related to this would be suitable for me to take? I look forward to hearing your suggestions and I would much prefer to use natural products than conventional ones, I am just unsure exactly what to bring. Thank you! Erin: Is it okay to mix the greens powder and the daily nutritional support shake in the morning or should I drink them separately/ at different times? I wasn't sure if it matters or not. Thank you! Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was so excited to find your show! I have been listening to several shows a day and can't seem to get enough. When you speak about functional medicine chronic illnesses both physical and mental seem to make sense and there is so much hope out there for those that suffer from them! I have a question about my younger sister, and was hoping you could provide some insight. My sister is a competitive gymnast and 15 years old. Over the last year she has intermittently complained of shortness of breath. After Christmas she got a cold, followed by influenza (which she tested positive for) and sinus infections and then hand foot and mouth (vs a reaction to the antibiotics she was on for her sinus infection). She was out from school and practice for over 2 weeks.After the illnesses this winter her difficulty breathing became much worse (notably on her floor routine). My mom had just taken her down to Rush in Chicago for testing for an exercise challenge test last week and the test confirmed exercised induced asthma. She also had her IgE preliminary test was negative awaiting on the specific results. She was prescribed an inhaler containing albuterol and steroids taken 2 puffs 20 min prior to practice. I feel like we are just applying a bandaid over a much bigger problem and was wondering if you could shed some insight onto how you may work up this case. Thank you so very much for all you do and for sharing your knowledge with so many others to help improve their quality of life! ~Lauren PS- no need to share this on the podcast as this is a complete tangent, but I am a small animal veterinarian and starting my journey in a more holistic approach in my practice because of how you and other functional medicine practitioners have inspired me! Animals have more chronic illness and cancer now than ever before.... and its time to start looking for those root causes in them too! Nancy: Dear Dr. Cabral, Firstly, I'd like to say thank you so much for all your excellent advice and nutritional supplements, both of which have helped me dramatically improve my overall health and energy levels in just a few short months. My question is regarding the prophylactic use of antibiotics post-surgery. I am scheduled for gum graft surgery in a few months, and I know the periodontist will prescribe some antiibiotics afterwards to prevent infection and to ensure the graft doesn't fail. I was prescribed amoxicillin after my previous gum graft and had horrible side effects (a rash that lasted a month and lots of digestive issues), so I'd really like to avoid taking antibiotics again, especially now that I've done the Dr. Cabral Detox and am feeling so much better. I'm wondering if I start taking extra nutritional supplements such as high doses of vitamin C, D and zinc in advance of the surgery and afterwards, would it be sufficient to minimize the risk of infection? If so, what would be the recommended dosages, and would you suggest any other supplements as well? Overall I am quite healthy; I don't take any medications and rarely get sick, so I think my immune system is pretty decent already. I follow a mainly plant-based diet, and am taking the DNS powder and fruit and vegetable blend daily, along with immune boosting mushrooms like chaga and lion's mane. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated! Kind regards, Nancy Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm a fairly new listener of your podcast and I've found it to be extremely educational and helpful in my journey to improve my health. I was diagnosed about 4 years ago with Triangular Alopecia shortly after taking an antibiotic (when I was 22 my skin drastically changed and

I'm more likely to promote a healing modality that's been around for over 1,000 years than I am to go head over heals about the latest "biohack..." I honestly believe that most of what we need to heal our body has already been laid out for us over thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine and other methodologies... However, I do enjoy seeing these ancient healing techniques being proven by science and backed up in the real world...

Over the years I would say I've been a close follower of every new diet that's hit the mainstream - I consider it my job to know what people are reading about... Most of them literally aren't worth mentioning since they do more harm than good... But every now and again there's some excellent research that lifts a legitimate diet plan up and it stands on its own merit... One of those "new diets" is called the Nordic Diet and on today's #CabralConcept 873 I want to share with you the details of this diet plan and if you should be following its principles in your own life - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/873 - - - 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 Supplements: > "The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol" (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake (#1 "All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend (22 organic fruit & vegetables "greens powder") - - - > CBD Oil (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

Every once in awhile when I'm doing some in depth research I have an "aha" moment where things begin much clearer... And, when I was re-reviewing the top 12 causes of mortality I felt a sense of clarity that enabled me to see through the seemingly disconnectedness of each individual reason... What I came up with is that there are a small handful of things you should NEVER be doing that will enable you to most likely live at least a decade longer and stronger...

Although there doesn't seem to be a full antidote for the complete absence of suffering in life, there are ways to mitigate it... For example, you will not be able to avoid the loss of family and friends in life, since that is part of the natural life cycle, but you can control how you live you life... By taking control of certain aspects of your life you will be able to see how you can steer yourself away from decades of pain and regret...
