2522: Collagen Support Dose, CT Scans, Cancer Therapies, Hormone Balancing, Joint Pain & Weakness, Geographic Tongue (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… Whit: Hello! Really appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions. My question is regarding dosage for the equilife advanced collagen support. I know the directions are 1 scoop a day, but would there be any added benefit to doing more, say 2 or 3 scoops a day? Also I hear about certain amino acids that are important for assimilating collagen into the body- do you think it would be advisable to take amino acids with it ? (I'm currently loving Ben Greenfield's Kion aminos) Thanks a bunch! You are the best! Linsey: Dr. Cabral, I'm a big admirer of yours and can't tell you how much I appreciate all the knowledge you share. I have a question about how to best repair DNA damage that's been done from 2 past head CT's and a dental CT. I already try to live a low toxin lifestyle when it comes to food and products but I feel like I should be doing more to irradiate damage possibly done by these CT scans. I'm very concerned with the cancer risks that could be associated for these scans. Thanks so much for your input! Danielle: Dear Dr. Cabral, I have a family member who was diagnosed with stage 3 uterine cancer that reached the lymph nodes. I am attempting to search for an IHP that has experience working with cancer patients on the integrativehealthpractitioner.org website but that level on information is hard to find. Do you have any recommendations of an IHP/naturopathic/functional medicine physician with experience working with cancer patients? If you don't know of anyone specific, can you recommend how to go about the search? Would like to find someone who can work alongside her oncologist and primary doctor. Any kind of assistance would be helpful. Thanks! Sal: Can I please get some tips on improving my hormones. I have had a dutch test and my estrogen progesterone and testosterone were at perimenopausal values. I am in my late 20s. I train regularly and have a fairly good diet. Thank you. Grace: Hello, my name is Grace. I have been going through a lot of health problems the past year. I started getting muscle weakness and fatigue last year. I had a fever, but was not sick. The weakness was getting worse. My periods were also irregular. In May of this year, I went through a really stressful period of working 40 hours a week and doing a Masters program.Then, I had an edible, and my periods stopped altogether for a couple months. During that time, my hands started hurting, body stiff, and it felt like I was getting arthritis. I started talking with a functional medicine practitioner, and we did a hair mineral analysis and a hormone test. My progesterone was low, and my mineral levels were off and my Lyme test came back positive. I was won Is there anything else I should do? Bri: Hello, my husband has Geographic tongue, he was diagnosed in his early teen years. It annoys him regularity and is impacted by spicy or sour foods. Is there anything that can be done to help?

2521: Red Light for Kids, Parkinson's, Albumin & Testosterone, Sorbitol Intolerance, Damage from Alcohol, Candida & Mold (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: Bec: Hey Stephen! I have a 5 week old little girl and I was wondering if it is safe to use my Joovv red light panel on her to reset her circadian rhythm and help her build her melatonin? If so what time of day would be best and for how long? And if not, what age would it be safe for her to start using it? Angela: My mother is 83 years old and suffering from Parkenson's. She is on Levo/Cabidopa, Aspirin, Calcium, Vit D3 (but only 2000 iu). She weighs about 135 lbs so I believe she needs more Vit D3. She is also on iron and Modafinil. I believe the Modafinil is to help with her daytime sleepiness. She struggles with drinking enough water and gets constipated (probably from the iron too) and frequent UTIs as well. She fell for the 2nd time and broke her hip again so she is wheel chair bound, and movement is very minimal. All in all she is a hot mess and it's really hard to watch her decline this way. What would you suggest for someone that age and at that level of fragility? Ryan: Hello Doc, Wanted to see if you could briefly explain the connection or potential of albumin binding to testosterone and lowering the free levels of test in the body. My albumin has chronically been about a 5 or 5.1. My total testosterone has always been high, but my free doesn't seem optimal. I'm 31 and just looking to see what I can do naturally. I'm an IHP 2 so I understand the basics of increasing testosterone naturally. But wanted to hear your thoughts on albumin and testosterone connection, how can we lower albumin levels to a better range. Lower protein? Lower sodium? Any genetic issues I should look into? Liver or kidney? Etc. Thanks! Emily: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am wondering if you could share your thoughts on sorbitol intolerance, how to test for it, and how to treat it? I have been diagnosed with IBS in the past (which was an unhelpful diagnosis at best) and have recently been wondering if I may snuggle with sorbitol intolerance as well, which I have not been tested for. My thinking about this stems from the intense gas, bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort I have been struggling with daily lately. These symptoms are not new for me, however, I have noticed they are more intense and frequent lately, and am wondering if this is connected to my increased sorbitol consumption over the summer from stone fruits (peaches, plums, nectarines…). Thank you for your work! I am saving up now to take Levels 1&2 IHP:) Sara: Hi there, I love your podcast - thank you for your work! Does fasting help the clean up of damage from chronic alcohol abuse on the body and brain? Thank you! Sara Linden: Hi there! I would love any help I can get for lowering Candida while living in mold. Unfortunately I have no other option but to be in this environment for a few more months, but I'm dealing with pretty intense Candida and I know mold/mycotoxins can really fuel it's overgrowth. Any recommendations on a diet approach to keeping it as low as possible & other ways to support my body while I live here? Thank you so much!!

I was reading a post on social media the other day that provided an interesting take on Blue Zone cultures… While none of these cultures follow a specific "protocol" they all share similarities and a strong focus on nutrition.

2515: Vedicinals 9, Middle of the Night Pain, Formula Recommendation, Granuloma Annulare, Fast Heart Rate, Psoriasis & Fissures (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… Brad: Have you heard anything about vedicinals9 in terms of treating long covid or prevention altogether? My family and I have had covid 5 or more times since March of 2020 even though we try and keep our immune system on the up and up. I'm beginning to wonder if the effects of having covid are becoming more taxing on my body as time goes by. I've read good reports on vedicinals9 and would like to gather your thoughts. Thank you and look forward to hearing from you, Brad Joesph: Hey doc hope all is well. I'm 48 and a very active person I hit the gym a few days a week and play hockey a few days a week. I'd like to know why whenever I have a pulled or strained muscle or if I just over did it at the gym the pain seems to bother me most in the middle of the night. Thanks Michelle: Dear Dr. Cabral, I am a lactation consultant and RN working in a hospital/clinic setting. I encourage breastfeeding as much as I can and consider it the best start for babies, when possible. But not every woman makes enough milk, even with all the efforts! Various reasons such as infertility, PCOS, diabetes, obesity can affect milk production. I often have women that really don't want to feed formula, but their baby needs supplementation. Is there a formula you would recommend, or do you have any suggestions as to what to look for in an infant formula? I appreciate any input you have! Thank you! Eva: What is the cause of granuloma annulare? How do you get rid of it? Gina: Hi Dr Cabral! I am looking for advice regarding fast heart rate that seems to mimic POTS- it'll go up to 130+ about 10 mins after eating a meal especially lunch + especially going from sitting to standing. Sometimes just by walking outside or going up and down a few stairs. My RHR is in the 60s and overnight goes into the 50s. Seen a cardiologist, all clear. HTMA showed high calcium, electrolytes under 4. Cortisol/hormones test; cortisol AM high (18) but the rest of the day + night cortisol normal. Progesterone high, estrogen + other hormones normal + ratios all normal. Added mag, natural Gatorade, multi, C, D, zinc, plan to start adrenal soothe but worried bc of the 3 normal cortisol readings. Wondering what you think I should do next and if you think adrenal soothe is ok? Ty so much!! Kayla: Hi Dr.Cabral, I just want to start off by saying thank you for all that you do, your podcasts give me hope everyday! So I've done two labs (starter kit) and have been working with one of your IHP coaches (she's great!) I've done the 7 day detox & I am now on the parasite protocol it's my second week: here's my question I suffer from psoriasis and have occasional (couple times a day) anal itching & fissures, doctors keep telling me it's related to psoriasis the itching, and the fissure due to constipation which I am not. I can't shake off my negative thoughts that it's something worse, and every time I look down there I can't see anything but some fissures and a bit of swelling. Is this really related to Candida and parasites? My Candida levels on my lab results weren't that high ..
