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:

Felicia: Hello Dr. Cabral. What are your thoughts on this magnesium supplement ? Magnesium bisglycinate, fillers (microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate), anti-caking agents (silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate), coating agents (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, glycerol). Worth taken or should I look for another one? Thanks for your help Audrey: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for being my go to person for all of my health questions! What are your thoughts on taking creatine while pregnant? I am going to keep strength training throughout my pregnancy and am hoping this helps with maintaining some muscle. I’ve read great things about it helping mom and baby but want to know what you think. I know you cannot give medical advice. Thanks Elsa: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thanks for all the information you provide. I'm a fairly recent listener but already have learned so much from you. May God continue to bless you, your family, and your team. My question is regarding my husband. He did a genetic test and came out positive for the MTHFR heterozygous A1298C and COMT heterozygous G472A (Val108/158Met). I've listened to your recent podcasts on COMT, but my question is regarding supplements to avoid if you have this variant. He doesn't take any medications, and already takes methylated B complex to support MTHFR and high homocysteine levels (8.3). He also takes Vit C, Zinc+Copper, Mag, Vit D+K2, Omega 3s, Probiotics. The test results indicate to avoid Quercetin and Green Tea because they are COMT inhibitors? True? Thanks. Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral. What are your thought on Super CitriMax for weightloss using a combination of 4500 mg Garcinia Cambogia with 60% HCA with 600 mg of Chromium and 1000 mg of B3 Niacinamide or B3 Nicotinamide? Thanks for your thoughts on this. Hannah: Hi Dr Cabral! I wrote in when you said the que was closer to 2-3 weeks and I haven’t heard my question yet so this is incase my question got lost- myself and a couple of people I’ve met recently get an elevated heart rate when drinking alcohol (even 1 drink). This has never happened to me before and I’m very well hydrating prior, what else besides histamines could this be? Second, I have a very scant amount of blood per rectum every couple of days since starting the CBO, have you heard of this happening? I’m thinking to d/c citricidal early, I didn’t test prior to CBO and only have 3 days left of that to see if it’s related. Thanks for everything!! 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! - - -
