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…   Carrieann: Hi Dr Cabral! I was wondering if you were familiar with Peptide KPV and if you could offer some insight on it and how it works to decrease inflammation in the body. Thank you!!                                                                                             Jannah: Hi Dr Cabral, I’ve recently been diagnosed with visual snow (not Visual Snow Syndrome), confirmed by multiple specialists and a brain MRI. The symptoms began about a year ago, coinciding with high stress, chronic back pain, and returning to work in a brightly lit (LEDs), newly renovated office. Environmental changes like dimming lights, adjusting my computer screen and using eye-strain glasses have eased my painful headaches; however, I still experience tension behind my eyes and forehead. I understand that this is a neurological issue, so I’d appreciate any recommendations to support my brain health, neurological functioning and visual processing, please. I’m a 39 year old female, generally healthy and active, and based in Australia. Thank you!                                                                       Tommy: Hello Stephen. I’m an IHP. A year ago I started having dhiarrea daily. My sleep also suffered, waking up in the night unable to fall back asleep even with magnesium/melatonin/breathwork. I had some leftover healthy belly, so began taking 2 morning and 2 night. Everything cleared up, my bowells were perfect , my mind was clearer, my body was calmer. I thought it was the mastic gum that had killed some h-pylori. About 7 days after stopping healthy belly, it all came back again. I’ve since done a parasite protocol which i had to stop 11 days before the end as I was feeling fatigued. I ran a stool test just before these symptoms and it showed citrabacter friundi. I’m unsure whether to do a parasite protocol again or run another stool test. Appreciate you                                                                                                                                                     Kari: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm struggling to find the best option for clean water when traveling. I don't want to use plastic water bottles and glass options are rare and very expensive. I don't mind for flights and have even used Starbucks water that they put in my stainless steel bottle. I need options if I'm going to stay with a friend for a week and need to have clean water. I have looked at water bottles with filters, but I'm not sure if they're any good. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!                      Shawnee: Hey there! I was wondering how long should you be taking digestive enzymes for? I feel great when I take them so I would hate to stop. But I don't want to mess up my system by over using them.

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:    Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you for your informative podcast. I searched in past episodes & didn't find the answer to my question so I thought I'd write in. I'm a 49 year old woman & had bloodwork done for the first time a little over a year ago. Everything looked good except my ferritin was low at 9. For the next 12 months I took iron supplements 2-3 times a week & started eating more iron rich foods including red meat & beef liver pills. When ferritin was tested again it was only up to an 11. My PCP is now recommending I get an iron infusion. Are these safe? What might be the root cause of my low ferritin? I'm still menstruating but have never been heavy. I eat a balanced diet including meat & always have. I exercise 4-5x/ week. Could this just be genetic? Should I be concerned? Thx, Elizabeth            Carrieann: Hi Dr Cabral! I love listening to your podcasts. I have a rare disease called Mastocytosis. Do you have any recommendations for natural supplements that might help. I am currently taking vitamin C and Quercitin and it they do help. I would love to improve my gut but I am a little confused on how to go about doing that when I need to keep histamines low and all the things like probiotics, kimchi, bone broth are all high histamine. Thank you for your help!!                                                 Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. I recently got diagnosed with folliculitis and eczema by a dermatologist who stated it was spurred by my skin reacting to my many sauna sessions and regular dry brushing. Unfortunate, cause I enjoy both. I abhored the idea, but the doctor recommended doxycycline antibiotics and mupirocin topical cream which did stem the constant itching, redness, flaking. I've no noticeable side effects from medication. What do you suggest I use post medication to ensure healthy gut and it reoccurring? I was thinking maybe the clean gut probiotic or daily detox. Keep up good work.                                                                                                                                                                                          Darren: Good day, Dr Cabral. It's me again. I asked this months ago, but never got a response. Maybe question got lost or your team pulled it given it can be perceived as controversial. I appreciate your Mindset & Motivational Monday shows and all the teachings from Dispenza etc about not stressing but focusing and living in the moment. However, how does one adhere to those practices if they were living in say a conflict zone where things are beyond their control like Congo, Palestine, Sudan? Where food isn't guaranteed but constant attacks are? I get if you choose not to answer on air. Keep up good work.                                                                                                                                                                                         Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you are well. After doing a Food Sensitivity test, my results showed I'm allergic to cows milk dairy. Which, I already knew for years because every time I eat dairy, like clockwork, 2-3 days later, I'd break out really bad. And even though it only takes 2-3 days to happens, it takes me at least 4+ weeks to start to clear up. My question is, would it help if I were to take a Lactaid or a dairy intolerance pill? It seems that most of those pills help with gas and bloating, which I don't get. I just get really bad acne. But was hoping that I could take this before eating a meal that I'm not 100% sure about to prevent break outs. If not Lactaid, is there a pill you could recommend that could help? Thank you so much for answering my question and for being my health GURU! :)         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!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3452 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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…   Jess: What are some alternatives to Daily Nutrition Support to get my vitamins and protein when I am sensitive to Stevia/Monk fruit/artificial sugars? Would your daily multivitamin, in pill form, in addition to a bone broth protein be efficient?                                                                                                                                                                                           Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'd love to get your thoughts on all the "fillers" I see so many women (young adult to mature adult) getting these done on lips. I see ads stating the hyaluronic acid is "healthy for the deeper layers of the skin and lips", but I'm skeptical and concerned for friends and family who get them with some frequency. I have no interest in getting them, but would love to know the real truth in the event they are open to an objective opinion about them. And I don't know what Botox really is, but I'm interested in your thoughts on that, also. I always cringe when I see people who have had both - they just don't look so natural any more. Thank you!                                                                                                                            Jodie: Can you use Dijon mustard on the 7 day detox?                                                                                                                             Julia: I have a 2 year old who is now being diagnosed with reactive airways (multiple inhalers, saying it’s asthma with no cure), and a 10 month old who has recently this month had multiple breath holding spells that are terrifying as a parent to have a child experience as you hold them in your arms. Our family seems to benefit from a low histamine diet after I had a trigger cleaning mold from an object in our new home and 5 years all living with a home with a wall of black mold in the basement. What probiotics of supplements can help young, young kids (10 months, 2, and daughter is 4) to become healthy from reactive airways, breath holding spells, histamine intolerance? We have AirOasis purifiers now in bedrooms. Also, wildfire air quality starting to he a problem here in Midwest- advice? Thx                                                                Judy: Is there any protocol or supplements that can help with low blood platelets count? My 86 year old in-law has liver cancer and low platelets count. Also he has water retention all over his legs, even though he is taking water pills to remove the water. Any help is greatly appreciated!       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! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3446 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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:    Katrina: Thank you for the amazing knowledge you share; it's been invaluable for my family and me. I love to cook and am very interested in learning more about how to plan and cook meals from an integrative and functional perspective. I've researched and come across: "Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy (IFNA) – Offers a Functional Nutrition Certification and the IFNCP Advanced Practice Credential, which is 100% online and self-paced. This program focuses on a whole-systems approach to identifying and treating the root causes of chronic disease." Are you familiar with this certification? If so, does it align with your views on diet and nutrition? If not, is there a certification or other recommended path you'd suggest for obtaining in-depth training?                                                          Stacey: Hello Dr. Cabral , I hope you are having a fantastic day ! My question is for fat transfer to the breast . I’m thinking of removing my implants due to possible BII & using fat transfer to help replace what volume will be missing . I heard one Dr. say it potentially could cause cancer in the breasts due to all fat having stem cells and by adding new fat tissue to the breast could cause cancer cells to activate??? What is your option on this ? I have breast cancer on my mom’s side . My mother , grandma & aunt .                                                                                                                                                                    Stacey: Hello Dr. Cabral Thanks for all your knowledge I listen to you daily ! What is your opinion on liposuction? I have extra fat on my inner thighs and it drives me bonkers ! Even at my goal weight and I’m almost there thanks to you . This fat doesn’t want budge . It shrinks but still there and not in proportion with the rest of my body . I’m thinking of liposuction as weight training and diet ect does not help . It truly bothers me to wear a bathing suit or even shorts . Do you think it’s worth the risk of surgery? Thank you                                                                                                                                                               Matthew: I'm interested in taking colostrum for it's many benefits, but I've read about the possibility of an increase in the chances for various cancers to develop while taking colostrum. Is this true and if so how likely is that to happen. I'm an active 44 year old and my main reason for wanting to take it is for the added benefits of developing lean muscle. I work out 3-5 times per week and would like to add something natural like colostrum to my diet. Thanks!                                                  Stacey: Hey Dr. Cabral thank you for everything!! I’m a huge fan and student of yours . I have a question about Teslas . We are looking into purchasing one but I’ve been hearing that they give off lots of EMFs . What is your opinion on that ? Thanks and have a blessed day                                                                                                                                                       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!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3445 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
