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: Yasmin: 1. I was listening to your podcast about zinc.. I take a supplement of a combined version which includes calcium/magnesium and zinc. Would that be a good supplement to take? Samantha: I developed what I thought were varicose veins in my upper thighs and behind my knees. I was so blown away because I am not overweight or pregnant or elderly or sitting or standing for long periods of time. I just heard that one of the symptoms of covid is thrombosis. I am wondering if these sometimes painful itchy veins could be thrombosis and how I could treat them naturally? Marcie: Hi Dr Cabral! Bless you for sharing vital health information with the world! My question: i am 55 and in good health. I supplement daily with zinc, copper, C D quercetin, b complex, A and magnesium. About 7 weeks ago I started having a cycle of cluster headaches. I started on verapamil daily and plan to wean off now that the headaches have stopped. These come every 2-3 years. I feel like I heard you make a side comment in one of your house call questions about tartar on teeth, but I've searched and haven't come up with anything. Can you share what might be the cause of tartar buildup. I'm not sure what had changed but over the last couple of months I seem to quickly get tartar build up after brushing w my electric tooth brush and also cleaning with a dental tool. My curiosity is about the root cause which I thought I heard you say something about a lack of cod liver oil in the diet. My dentist is always amazed at how healthy my mouth is and how little cleaning needs to be done! I've also heard something about K2 in relation to this issue. Thank you for your time! Tiffany: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently purchased new pans (Caraway. I came across an article shortly after stating that the pans tested positive for 20 metals. Any advice? https://tamararubin.com/2021/08/caraway-cookware-without-the-chemicals-tested-positive-for-20-metals-including-lead-mercury-cobalt-antimony-when-tested-with-xrf-technology/ Lorena: What are you thoughts on pickled Japanese ginger? I love having these with my meals in Japanese restaurants so I want to make sure that they are healthy haha. Absolutely love your podcast! Rachel: Hello! I have been dealing with leaky gut and food sensitivities for a long time after clearing sibo. I have removed gluten, had a stool test, dutch test, and micronutrients test but things are not getting better with treatment. We are looking into food sensitivities more, but I had a test done two years ago and am afraid there's another underlying issue. What would you do next? Thanks for everything you do.

Isn't it funny that people in the natural health field can be saying something for years (or decades), but then a Ph.D. or Harvard study comes out and now the world is ready to hear it ; ) Regardless, now is better than never and I'm always happy to read the research and share these findings just like this one on how stress from COVID has led to weight gain, which is not leading many to dis-ease… (This podcast was recorded before the John Hopkins paper) So on today's #CabralConcept 2197 I'd like to walk you through this cycle of stress, weight gain, and dis-ease and why it is so important to break the cycle at all 3 phases in order to enjoy a life of health and happiness! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/2197 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://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 Stress, Sleep & Hormones Test (Run your adrenal & hormone 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)

The was a very scary experiment done not too long ago that was called the "Milgram Experiment."

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… Let's get started! Tina:What are your thoughts on surgical mesh for bladder control? and is there an healthy alternative ? Ao curious what the root cause is for the sudden urination? Thank you so much!!!! Jenna: I was dealing with decreased bile production, or a blockage of the bile ducts I'm not really sure, and wasn't feeling well for about a week. It was obvious that my body was not digesting fats due to the low bile as I had pale or yellow colored stool. During this time although I didn't feel great, my bloating which I have been trying to solve the mystery of for the last 15 years just magically disappeared. It was completely gone. I didn't change my diet at all. To me, this experience showed me that the root cause of my bloating is a digestive process malfunction rather than SIBO, Candida, etc. Could it be that the act of breaking down fats in my system is what causes the bloating? And when i did not have the bile to properly digest the fats, this meant the bloating did not occur? The reason I ask is because I fixed the bile issue and the bloating is back! Amanda: Hi Dr Cabral! I am a 29 year old female who has been diagnosed with PCOS since the age of 18. Initially doctors would always tell me the same thing, lose weight and get on birth control. I've the past 11 years my body has always been in a constant battle with weight gain and loss. I have symptoms which include stubborn facial hair, belly fat, and darker pigmentation under my arms etc. In 2019 I went dairy and gluten free which has helped tremendously with my inflammation however on special occasions I have some and pay for it as my menstrual cycle is delayed. I have very low sex drive if nothing at all and I want that to change for myself and my partner. I have already done a 21 day Detox. Am doing fatlossity currently. Just wanted some advice on how to help with this facial hair, darker skin and low sex drive. ( I take t quench and estrogen balance and haven't noticed a difference) Doctor has taken blood and I do not have diabetes or hashimotos yet. Any advice is appreciated and thank you for all that you do! Karen: Can't thank you enough for always being a go-to resource for accurate information. It is so appreciated! I am trying to increase my daily protein intake by combining bone broth and a hydrolyzed whey powder into my daily smoothie. Would taking a proteolytic enzyme help me to better digest these proteins or is the fact that they are being ingested in a liquid form already make their proteins more available for absorption? I don't want to waste money on proteolytic enzymes if they aren't necessary. Any other recommendations for increasing protein absorption? Michael: Hi Dr. Cabral I have tested positive for h pylori and mold toxicity. I noticed a few months ago that I'm not forming stools normally. The stools are short and thin. What could cause this? What supplements could someone take to help with this? Lina: What is your thoughts on taking NP thyroid long-term? I have listened to your podcasts on balancing thyroid naturally for my low thyroid but have been using NP thyroid for a few years and has been "working". Don't know if it could be damaging to my health, though. Any advice would be much appreciated!

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: Nicole: Hi Doctor C! I am very curious about antibodies. This is obviously a hot topic now, but as you know, antibodies are residual from any virus. My question is how and why some people have antibodies for x amount of time and others have them for more or less. Now that there is a common way for people to blood test this, I find it so interesting that a year later I still have antibodies and some of my friends test negative that had the same thing as me. I take a lot of supplements, eat a lot of colors and prioritize my sleep and sweat - do you think these things can at all contribute to the lifespan of antibodies? Or is there any fun science you could share about this topic? Your podcast is my favorite, thank you in advance! Lauren: First I want to say that your dedicated work is a God send! For the past 2 yrs. I've dealt the symptoms of thyroid problems. I'm undiagnosed- regardless of how many conventional "specialists" I've seen, they say my labs are "normal", acknowledge my symptoms, and send me on my way without help. My problem: 30 pounds of weight gain in 1.5 years that I CANNOT lose no matter what I try/do. I'm extremely conscientious about the quality of food supplements I put into my body (no fillers, dyes, organic, non gmo, etc). I recently (the past 5 months) have been taking magnesium, zinc, pre/probiotic as suggested in a previous podcast. This has helped some with energy but not weight loss. Other symptoms: BRAIN FOG, occasional debilitating mental motivation to do anything, STRESS, hair loss, no energy, wired but tired at night (taking magnesium and zinc at night helps now), etc…. If there were only two EquiLife tests that should I take to figure out what's going on with me, which would be the first and second? Also for women, what is the best time of the month and day to give specimens for the hormone test to optimize the results? Also, what are some critical vit./min. to heal/reboot my system? Thank you and God bless! Josh: Hi Dr Cabral! My 6 year old son got covid 7 weeks ago. He had one day of fever and seemed better, but he has this dry cough since then. It sounds like a bark and gets worse when he runs. We have tried many things both natural and conventional, and nothing is helping. Because we did not know he had covid, he was put under anesthesia for a dental procedure and I worry that made things worse for him. What can I do to help him heal. Thank you for all that you do! Shane: Hi Dr Cabral I'm curious what would make me go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times a night. I eat very healthy well balanced planted based diet with all my macros and micros. I also exercise every morning and have 2 to 3 bowel movements a day. I get plenty of water and stop eating and drinking before 7pm and go to bed by 10 and wake up around 6am. I'm getting some good sleep just not great since I'm getting up to much. I have done my big 5 labs and have Candida Overgrowth and SIBO. So wondering if this is what is causes me to get up 2 to 3 times a night to urinate since my body is not balanced yet? Also it's strange because my right hand usually feels colder than my left just another random symptom I'm trying to get to the bottom of. I will be doing the 21 day detox and CBO Protocol next month so hoping this will help me balance my body and have a better night sleep where I can sleep thru the night. Just curious your thoughts on this matter. Thanks so much! Appreciate all you do! Shane Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have a hypothetical situation that I hope I never encounter, but if I do, I'm hoping to be armed with your best advice! As someone who has completed the CBO protocol in the past and is now planning another pregnancy, I'm concerned what would happen if I tested positive on the 3rd trimester Strep B test. As I'm sure you're aware, this is a routine check done on all pregnant women to make sure they don't have Strep B bacteria prior to childbirth, since it can cause serious complications to newborns. Everything I read says antibiotics are the treatment for this. As someone who has had SIBO and Candida in the past and has already completed the CBO protocol, what would the best course of action be if I find myself in this situation? It may be one of those situations where antibiotics are a necessity to protect the baby, however, what can I do to help protect my gut during this time? I searched and searched your podcast archives and couldn't find this question, so hopefully I'm not making you answer a question you already have in the past! Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you so much for all you do for the community and sharing your wisdom with the world. I'm completing my studies for IHP level 1 and Level 2 at this time and I also work as an Occupational Therapist in the hospital setting. Over the years, I have seen more and more chronic illness (a big reason why I'm studying IHP!) that is so debilitating to patients…which leads me to my question... Is there ever a time you feel like an illness is too advanced for rebalancing the body through an integrative health model? Do you feel like there is ever a point of little to no return to homeostasis? Thank you again— you are a gem to all you serve!
