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:

Samantha: Hi Doctor Cabral,My 76-year-old father recently underwent a diagnosis of bladder polyps, which will be removed surgically. Fortunately, they appear to be benign. I'm interested in learning about preventive measures to reduce the risk of future occurrences. Thank you for your time and expertise. Anonymous: Hi Dr C,i have an odd problem that the doctors Ive been seeing havent been to answer yet. Around Sept. 2023, I noticed fast and dramatic changes to what seems like muscle tonality around my brows. My brows now look receded, flat and less prominent. My nose seems a bit more bulbous. I originally thought that my hollowing was due to a unilateral ptosis repair & upper bleph I got in April 2023, but after speaking with many surgeons, this would not be the case as the loss is on both eyes. The only thing I can say is that I started eating meat again in September 2023 after not eating meat for around 3 or 4 years prior. This is the only change I made to my diet. I stopped eating meat for 2.5 weeks and my brow position seems a bit improved, not sure, but it hasnt helped the volume loss. Thx Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am signing up to be an IHP & taking your program. I am very excited. But I do have a question for you regarding my own health. I have a heart condition that presents as “SVT”. I have had this since 7th grade and have done every test under the sun but my original cardiologist said he wanted to put me on depression meds. (Lost lots of confidence in doctors bc I am not depressed. This was 8 years ago). Question is: can I heal my heart? I have stopped smoking weed, barely drink caffeine, & eat pretty clean (organic etc). Do you have an advice or have you worked with anyone dealing with this? I am 29. Don’t want any meds, surgery or a pacemaker. I want the natural route. These episodes happen every 1-3 months. A hiccup usually triggers it, bending over or jumping. Thank you!!! Marlyse:I'm 5 ft 7 in, weigh 124 lb. I was recently diagnosed with a 40 mm ascending aortic aneurysm found through a scan. I exercise regularly, est a mostly clean diet, don't smoke, have low cholesterol and have low blood pressure. I haven't been able to find anything on what I can do to help this besides surgery and I'm wondering if you have any suggestions. Thank you much Dr cabral. Lindsey: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you for all you do. My mom has neuropathy in her legs. She is pre diabetic. Any advice on what she should be doing or taking? She also has sleeping issues. Gets about 4 hours a night. I'm sure that doesn't help. Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community’s questions! - - -
