3551: Brain Fog & Low Motivation, Inuspheresis, Cold Exposure & Stress, Methylfolate & ADHD, Seasonal Depression Help (HouseCall)
 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…   Scott: Hello Dr. Cabral! I've been dealing with persistent brain fog and low motivation, especially in the mornings. I sleep 7–8 hours but still wake up groggy. What tests or protocols do you recommend to pinpoint the root causes and improve mental clarity naturally? Nela: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently came across information on a treatment called Inuspheresis, which is described as a blood purification technology that filters out inflammatory proteins, environmental toxins and other harmful molecules. The materials I reviewed suggest it may benefit a wide range of conditions, including: - Chronic inflammatory disorders - Autoimmune diseases - Degenerative conditions Since I haven't heard you mention this treatment on your podcasts, I wanted to ask: 1. What is your opinion on the efficacy of Inuspheresis for the conditions listed 2. What do you see as the potential pros and cons of this therapy? I'd really value your knowledge and perspective! Thank you :) John: Good day Dr. Cabral, I've been experimenting with cold exposure (ice baths, cold showers) to improve recovery and immunity. I've noticed a boost in energy but sometimes feel overly stimulated afterwards. How do you recommend people safely use cold exposure for health benefits without stressing the body? Jenna: Hi Dr. Cabral- I have a question about my 8 year old son. He has struggled with emotional regulation, big emotions, anxiety for a while. School was a struggle for him, he doesn't like to be away from me and he has anxiety about school work. We had him tested for ADHD, anxiety, Autism etc.. and they said he mostly just had anxiety. I don't want to give him medication but someone suggested methylfolate. I have started giving him this and it was REALLY helped! I was wondering if you could dive into why this worked and if you think it was a good idea. Thanks! Fatima: Hi Dr. Cabral! I've struggled with seasonal depression for years and usually need extra support during the fall and winter. Besides vitamin D, are there other nutrients, lab tests, or lifestyle changes you recommend for balancing mood with the seasons?

3550: EKG & Stress, Natural Skincare, Undereye Bags & Puffiness, Joint Stiffness in AM, Daily Smoothie & Vitamins (HouseCall)
 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:    Mohamed: Good day Dr.Cabral, thanks for all your amazing work and shout out to the amazing staff at Equilife/IHP. My question is regarding my EKG, had a bit of an issue one day so I got it done. Eveything looked normal however it said "Consider Right Atrial Enlargement (CRAE)". I'm 26 years old, I use Equilife products such as DNS, DVB, Full spectrum Mag. My CBC lab looked fine. However I was slightly leaning towards hyponaterima. (Ref range: 135-145), I was 136 (Canadian values). My resting HR is 72, however, I do exercise 2-3 times a week. I do have stress sometimes.. if I get really worked up (emotionally)… I feel it in my chest.. however exercise-wise I can run and run..please advise. Thanks Carlos: i have searched your database and cannot find your nighttime routine for cleaning/moisturizing your face. I am wondering what I could do to try and prevent wrinkles and have a healthy, smooth face. Anonymous: Can you explain a little on under eye eyebags and puffiness. I love listening to your podcast! I tell my friends and family. Thanks for all you do. Lori: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've recently noticed more joint stiffness and mild aches when I wake up in the morning. I'm only in my 40s, so I was surprised by this. What are the most common underlying causes of early joint discomfort, and are there natural ways to support joint health before it gets worse? Rocco: Hi Stephen, LOVE your work and your the main person i trust for my health! 2 quick questions, in my morning smoothie (containing avocado, blueberries, banana, psyllium husk, kale), i open 4 capsules of your daily multivitamin, blend it up then drink it over the next 30 minutes. Is that okay that i open the capsules and empty them into my smoothie pre blending, or should i be swallowing them in full capsule form? Finally, is it best to take all vitamins with food, or just follow instructions. I usually take 2-3 Cal-Mag capsules right before bed, as the instructions do not say i need to have it with a meal. Why do some vitamins need to be taken with food, and others not need to be? Thanks !
