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:

Stephen: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to get your thoughts on a supplement called Protandim — a product marketed to reduce oxidative stress by activating Nrf2, support cellular repair, and promote detoxification and gene regulation. The company claims it's backed by dozens of peer-reviewed studies, but most of the research has been done in animals or cell cultures, and the few human studies show mixed results. Online opinions seem polarized — some call it a marketing gimmick, while others swear by it — so it's been difficult to find balanced, evidence-based perspectives. I'd love to hear your assessment — whether you've had any experience with it in your practice, what results (if any) you've observed, and whether you'd consider it a science-supported supplement worth considering. Sarah: Hey doc! I've been rebounding/vibration plate/dry brushing consistently for over 2 years now. I also sauna once every week or so. When Im rebounding I notice that I get a pain in my left collar bone. I always massage the area before and after. I thought after rebounding for this long the pain might go away. Its not so painful but its uncomfortable and im wondering if this is anything to be concerned about? My partner recently tried rebounding and he said he felt pain also. We've done a bunch of detoxes, CBO, mold etc, both walk alot and exercise and generally pretty healthy. Bryan: Hi Dr. C, I was wondering if you had any thoughts or opinions on Kratom. I've heard you discuss nicotine, cannabis and various other psychedelics on your podcast and their "potential" medicinal benefits but never heard you mention Kratom. Do you have any opinions on this plant? More harm than good? Just curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks, Anthony: Hi Doctor Cabral, THANK YOU for all you do. Our 12 year old son seems to have red bags under his eyes more often than we think he should. He also has a small patch of warts on his upper forehead, a slightly bigger wart on the top of his foot and a small patch of bumps on his upper forearm hear his elbow. We had his blood work done taken and it came back with no issues. We also had a food sensitivity test done = IgE Allergy High is cashew, flax seed, green pea, lima bean, navy bean, and his IgG Sensitivity highs being turkey, with many moderate foods on both the allergy and sensitivity sides. Just wondering what your input would be. Thank you Anthony Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I truly resonate with your philosophy of addressing the root cause rather than masking symptoms. I've listened to all your podcasts and read your book, and I really appreciate your holistic approach. I'm also an IHP2. My question is about blood sugar imbalances. Most natural health books I've read on this topic tend to focus on symptom management through low-carb diets. Do you have a book you'd recommend that explores how to restore cell membrane function and rebalance this dynamic at the deepest level? Thank you for your time and for all the work you do.
