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…

Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral - I’d love your input on what steps when trying to conceive to have the healthiest pregnancy possible. I love your book, and I’m doing many of the practices in it (epsom baths, IR sauna, taking the greens and daily nutritional support, exercise, etc.). I have done some nutrient testing through a nutritionist, so I’m taking extra vitamin D, B12, and iron. Also, I’m doing the 7-day detox now so that I can do it before trying next month. What is your advice on what I should (and shouldn’t) be doing pre-pregnancy, and if there are any other tests you’d recommend (like testing for the Congenital cytomegalovirus infection/CMV)?Thank you for consistently presenting content in a rational, unbiased, and non-fear-mongering way! Cara: My family does not eat a healthy diet, I know this, but its so hard to change. It’s incredibly overwhelming. I have 2 young children and I would like to provide better meals for them but I just get overwhelmed with all the messaging and what to feed them and what not to feed them that I just sink back to what I know and what I know they will eat. Help! where do I start to make changes Sally: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for your willingness to help others! I am writing to you in regard of my dad. He is a 60 year old mechanic who has never really taken care of his body. About 4 years ago he was diagnosed with cancer and since has had treatment to essentially kill it. He has been cancer free since. Over the past few months he has been feeling chest tightness and arm pain, which landed him in the ER to get 3 stents put in his main left artery. He is healing and starting to slowly get back to work. I think this was a scare for him and he is going to start taking his eating habits seriously. Anyways, he has been saying for years now that drinking water gives him heartburn. I assume this is all connected back to his diet but wanted to get your thoughts if there is something specific we can look into further. We just ordered him the inflammation test from your site as a starting place. Thanks as always. Sally. Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a 63 year old female, eat a Mediterranean diet, do the big 5 annually, sauna daily and cold plunge 2-3 times per week. My exercise regimen includes, resistance, HITT and SIT 4-5 times per week. My question is, am I trying too hard? I often feel a wired when I should be tired and alternately run down for no apparent reason. My HRV can be as high as 65 when I’m detoxing and 20-30 when I’m living my normal life. I take a multitude of supplements, based on my IHP’s recommendations (ie; all of the basics plus adrenal soothe, adrenal support, estrogen support, DHEA) , as well as several of the supplements you recommend, (ie; Berberine, functional mushrooms, metavolve.). Plus, I take 5 CBD gummies 3 x per day to control anxiety and NAC for mthfr gene. Please advise Carrie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have heard there's some controversy around nano hydroxyapatite, specifically that it can lead to liver and kidney issues, is carcinogenic, etc. This is a great ingredient to build teeth and reduce cavities, but I don't want to give it to my child if it's toxic and builds up in the system. What has your research on this ingredient shown, and are there any safe brands such as Primal Life Organics. If not, what is an alternative. Thank you!
