What if life worked like a GPS?     When you miss a turn, it doesn’t yell at you or say you’ve failed…it simply recalculates and finds another route.     On today’s show, I want to dive into this powerful analogy and share how setbacks don’t erase your destination.

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…   Raina: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for all the information that you so generously share! I recently had a baby 8 weeks ago. My last detox was summer of 2023 as I was trying to conceive for a little over a year. I plan to breast feed for a couple years, and would like to have another baby in that time as well. So it will be several years before I can do another detox. I am wondering what I can do while breastfeeding to support my body and also help me lose weight?I have began walking 5 days/wk, and very light strength trainging 3 days/wk. My first detox I lost 16 lbs and lost another 20 in the couple months after.. I would love to do that again, but I just can’t right now. I have appx 25 lbs I’d like to lose, while breastfeeding, & before having another babe. What could best help me get there and support my body and goals?             Lisa: My adult son was diagnosed with tinea versicolor several years ago (he was a teenager), following a family trip to Colombia. He was seen by a dermatologist and treated and told it would most likely come back and that he should use Selsum blue shampoo on the effected area once a month to help clear it up. My question is - is there something more permanent he can do. I understand this is a skin fungal infection, but it seems like there should be something he can do to alleviate it completely. I saw a previous question about re: children, wondering what you would recommend for an adult, tests that could be run, etc. Thank you!                                                                                                                                       Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral - I recently started drinking hydrogen water at the starter pH of 8.5 per your recent reviews on the topic (thank you as always for the deep dive!). But let me say... it's been 3 days and holy heck am I detoxing. Bowels, skin, headaches, post nasal drip, etc. The materials from your team state this is expected and to titrate slowly, but the materials don't explain WHY this detox phase happens drinking higher pH water. Can you talk about what's happening in the body during this phase and how long one might expect to have symptoms before stabilizing? My husband is scared to start drinking it now HAHAHA. Thanks as always for what you and your TEAM do for us!                                                          Al: Dr.Cabral, I am an IHP not residing in the US, so I have access to different labs and supplements. The laboratory I work with offer 5x cortisol samples (the last sample being collected in the middle of the night). Is the night cortisol collection relevant for regular clients or only for specific cases? My second question is about SIFO without SIBO. Would undecylenic acid (isn’t it much better than caprylic acid?) with pau D arco, Citricidal and s.boulardii be a good plan for slightly elevated yeast markers? If so, are two months sufficient? Thank you                                                                                 Tommy: Hey the legendary Dr. C! I started the heavy metal detox a couple months back, and the heavy metal detox capsules themselves cause me a histamine reaction. I tried 1/2 the dose, and while the reaction is less, it’s still there. I’ve already done the CBO protocol, I know my mercury is high so could really do with removing this, any ideas ? Should I take some hist-pro alongside it?     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/3516 - - - 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?
