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:

Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I was listening to your podcast Can you cheat death (ep. 872) and you say your doctor should check your cholesterol, crp levels and homocysteine levels.. could you please tell us what the ranges are? Normal healthy levels? Please and thank you and happy healing to everyone

Melanie: I have the Essure device implanted for Birth control sterilization. They have since recalled it. I would like to get it removed but it is a risky procedure. I don't have specific problems from it but I was wondering if it could be contributing to some health problems I don't realize?

Geoff: Hello! What would you do to heal as quickly as possible after a gum procedure? I'm having my gum recession fixed and have a few things lined up to aid the healing process. Here's what I'm planning on using: hydrogen water tablets (3x/day on an empty stomach), the "Healing like Wolverine" peptide stack (BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, Ipamorelin), along with daily infrared sauna sessions. I also have some C60 oil that I'm considering. What else would you do? Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question!! You and your team are the best! Hope you have a great day!

Mohamed: Good day Doctor Cabral. I am big fan of your work and have utilized many of equilifes products. I also regularly watch your YouTube videos and podcasts. Your work is incredible. My question is regarding bilateral sciatica pain (Nerve pain) which lead to pondylitic changes with nerve root impingement. How can I address this. What do I need to avoid or utilize. I know B1 is good for Nerve related issues. Please weigh in. Thanks

Sheena: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you so much for answering my question. I'm 45 and starting to feel the effects of perimenopause. Hot flashes everyday and night, cant stay asleep because of it, bad break outs, and irregular prolonged periods. Fortunately no vaginal dryness but I don't doubt it will come soon! My endocrinologist suggested I could take low-dose birth control pill and says it'll help. I'm hesitant in taking something synthetic everyday as I know it could come with long term effects. I have been taking this organic tincture for menopause that includes sage, black cohosh, burdock, chasetree, dongquai and motherwort, it was really helping for about a year, but not as much anymore. Which is why I'm considering birth control pill. What are your thoughts and recommendations? You're the best!!
