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…

Varun: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am 43 year old male. I have been using CGM to monitor blood glucose level from past few weeks. I have noticed that blood sugar level remains within the range (fasting and after 2 hours). However, whenever I do high intensity weight workouts (fasting) my blood sugar level shows very high spikes (up to 8-10 mmol/L). It takes around 2 hours or so to come down below 5.6 mmol/L. My GP couldn’t explain why this is happening. Have you seen this kind of phenomenon in your practice or research. I have predisposition to type 2 Diabetes due to family history, therefore I eat very clean diet, mostly plant based. I do 45 mins high intensity exercise weights/workout 4 days a week. I do EquiLife detox couple of times a year and did parasite and CBO protocol last year. Matt: Hi Dr Cabral-Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and the results of all your hard work. I have high confidence that I have had untreated dental infections over the years and I have heard that this can affect the heart and the brain. In regards to the impact on the brain, what can I do at this point, where the damage has already been done, to stave off, if not reverse, the consequences? Ryan: I went over 30 years without having jock itch, then I got it (self-diagnosed) about 7 months ago. I treated it with OTC medication to clear it up…but it has been recurring now. In the past 7 months I’ve probably had 8-9 bouts of it. What could be making me more susceptible to fungal overgrowth all the sudden? Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all the great free content you put out for the public, you are very appreciated! I've been struggling with mild to moderate acne for many years. I have tried pretty much everything. My diet is VERY clean and I have a very healthy lifestyle. I've seen many doctors and estheticians for this. I previously took out dairy for about a week or so to see if that was causing it, but nothing changed. I am very mindful of minimizing glucose spikes, as I know that can cause acne. I am really hesitant to start taking out foods and eliminating things. Should my next steps be to get a continuous glucose monitor to see if this is the cause? I know there are many episodes on this topic but I feel I'm doing all the 'things'. Thank you so much! Jennifer: Hi Dr. Cabral, What are your thoughts on organic soy milk that is only made from water and soy beans? I’ve heard from lots of doctors online that it is the best plant milk as it helps prevent certain types of cancers like breast and prostrate and is a good source of plant protein. Thoughts?
