Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!

I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…

Stefanie: Hyperhydrosis issues here! I've always had sweat profusely pouring from my hands and feet, even as a child. I'm healthy, very in tune with my body, a professional bodyworker myself, and lots of nervous system regulation as well. It's worse when I am very focused, not necessarily nervous. Any ideas on why or how to help resolve this issue? Lynn: I am very sensitive to caffeine and have been trying to find a good decaf matcha green tea (or another type if that one isn't available). I noticed you had a recommendation for regular matcha in your resource page, but do you have any recommendations for a caffeine-free, organic ceremonial grade matcha? Thank you Lara: Hi, dr. C, hope you’re all well..I’m wondering about XXXX ionic foot bath therapy that uses negative ions to get rid of toxins from the body.. it comes with a chart to tell you where your toxins are coming from by the colour of the water.. do you think it actually works? It seems like it would be a great tool if it did what it says it does, but you are my go-to person to ask these things.. thank you and happy healing to everyone ! Milan: Dr.Cabral, I am an IHP and have ran OAT, MycoTox and gut microbiom for my client. There was SIBO and SIFO, but no leaky gut and no elevated mold markers. While we have worked on dysbiosis, gut symptoms are all gone. There is one remaining symptom left - fungal patches in the groin and armpit area. Isn’t it strange that there are no elevated levels of mold neither at OAT nor at MycoTox test? Can it be really only local on the skin and not systemic? In such case, am I thinking right that local application of Citricidal with coconut oil, colodial silver and tea tree oil should heal skin fungal infection? What could be the cause? Terri: Hi Doc! I’ve been listening to you for years and love your podcast! Here’s a question I haven’t heard. About a year ago, my bloodwork showed a high TSH and thankfully, my PCP was on board with me trying an elimination diet and allowing me to test once a month. I immediately eliminated gluten, dairy and soy and within a month my TSH fell into a normal, although not ideal, range. When my TSH was high, I noticed a small bump at the base of my big toe. It disappeared almost completely when my TSH dropped and reappeared when I tried reintroducing dairy and soy into my diet. My TSH also went back up at the same time. Could the bump on my toe be related to the thyroid or is this just coincidence?? It seems to appear and disappear with variations in my TSH. Thanks & keep up the amazing work! Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!
