Check out today's questions:

Kate: Hi there Stephen !I am a big fan of your work, your book and your podcast! All the way from australia I am working in a pharmacy, and feeling like i’m sanitising my hands, more than I probably need to. Does hand sanitiser contain Endocrine disrupters, and should I consider other options? Thanks heaps! Sonny: Hi Dr Cabral, Around 18 months ago, I noticed hair loss at the front of my hairline. I’m in good health, and the only change has been using an infrared sauna 4-5 times a week. I tried 3 PRP sessions, which helped some regrowth, but the hair is now coarse, brittle, and wiry. A trichologist suggested possible alopecia areata, but no clear diagnosis was made. I’ve been using biotin, EquiLife Daily Hair Support, a red light cap, derma rolling, and copper peptide serum, but haven’t seen much improvement. Are there any tests you'd recommend to investigate this further? I’m considering the Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you are well and hope 2025 is treating you and your family well. Quick question, after doing The BIG 5, my IHP2 has recommended that I do a Limited CBO protocol. My question is, because its a Limited protocol, would it be ok for me to do a 'cheat meal' once a week? Or should I still wait for after 21 days to have my first cheat meal? Thank you so much! Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral, Asking a question for my girlfriend. All of the sudden, during a stressful work time, her shoulder started hurting. She had limited range of motion and pain all day. It made sleeping hard. She works from home and wasn’t using it or injuring it during this time, it just kind of started to hurt. She went to the orthopedic and he diagnosed with frozen shoulder, gave her a cortisone shot, and said give it a 3-6 months and it should go back to normal. I’m wondering if you have anything complementary that could be added to this as just waiting doesn't feel like the optimal strategy. Thank you for all you do Kavita: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have a question about my husband's diagnosis and also the history. Looking for some answers from you as you have mentioned several times that everything is curable. This is the diagnosis from the doctor: Right leg numbness in the setting of Common peroneal neuropathy at the head of bula versus right & Lumbosacral radiculopathy at L5, superimposed on likely diabetic Neuropathy: Improving symptoms of right lower lateral leg/foot numbness w/in distribution of both the peroneal and L5 nerve root.
