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: Lorena: Hi Doc! I'm a 23 year old and it's been 3 weeks since I got the virus and my hair started falling dramatically. I was very healthy prior getting it: DNS, omega 3, zinc, vitamin D, magnesium, collagen, vitamin C and probiotic every day. Even added NAC, quercetin and reishi mushroom to my daily supplement protocol. Exercised 4-5x a week, eat an organic and 90% plant-based diet. I'm very diligent with my protein and always make sure there is about 20-30g of protein in each meal. I was very surprised on how hard the virus hit me, I thought that it wouldn't affect me much due to being so young and healthy... Anyways my questions are: 1. Why do you think my hair is falling so much after the virus? I'm taking around 50mg of zinc everyday 2. I still have a lot of mucus stuck on my chest and I keep coughing. I thought this should have been gone by now. Any advice? 3. My taste and smell are not back yet, any advice? 4. My fitness is still far from what is used to be. Is this normal Melanie:What's the reason as to why your health coaching team only work with children above 3? BTW your work is amazing, I recommend this podcast to everyone! Aleita: I am suffering from chronic dry mouth. I've had trouble with it within this last year. I thought maybe doing the cleanse would help. But I am on my second week and still no relief. What podcast would help me gain some information? Yeysebell: Hi, your podcast is so amazing. Thank you So here it is. Back in country (Cuba) pharmacist prepare a remedy for the body to clear impurities and other agents that cause a reaction on people's health. It's magnesium sulphate at 33% (it is diluted in water) I would love to know why it works. I had one time like cystic acne that happened over night literally. Woke up one day with huge pimples everywhere. After taking that, which it was an entire littler (taking like a shot every morning) everything cleared in 15 days. Not just that, I also had te glow of a baby and that Qi. I looked much younger than what I was (I was only like 17 at that time). My brother who used to have a extrema reaction to insects bites and other allergens, wasn't ever again so allergic after taking it as well. He is now 33 and even the biggest cut heals super fast. A little more, it's used to treat preeclampsia as well there. Thank you so much in advance Michael: Hi Dr Cabral, how can someone reduce die off symptoms when using biocidin to kill mold, candida and h pylori? Estefania: Hello, My name is Estefania Ramirez, I am 38 years young. I was born in Mexico, but I currently live in Spain. I began intermittent fasting in mid 2017. I began with 12 hours, now I do 15 hours. I fast, but do not have a low caloric diet. My ingest is mainly plant based and seafood, I try to avoid meat. Also, I do eat other sources, besides vegetable, CHOs. I do avoid simple sugars. In mid 2018 my menstrual cycle began to disappear. I am currently in hormone replacement therapy. I do not have any other side effects, only amenorrhea. My lab tests have always been normal. I had hypothiroidism when I was 14/15 years young. After taking levothyroxine for a 3 years, my physician cleared me off the medication. Even when I'm under medical supervision, I would love to hear the opinion of Dr. Cabral. Thank you in advance!

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: Priya: Please I want to eat cupcakes. Can we have desserts on our cheat meals for the CBo 3 month plan? Darren: Hey Dr. Cabral. Is there any truth to the theory that sunglasses are harmful because they tell your eyes you're 'not in the sun' - but your skin IS - preventing your body from protecting itself? Some are saying it's best avoid because they also disrupt circadian rhythm and enrich unscrupulous companies. In your experience, do you have any thoughts on this? Thank you for all you do Blake: First off, your work in the functional medicine realm is so impressive. With all the research and knowledge you present to us, the passion is truly contagious. I'm in my mid 30s and since beginning of high school, I've had more noticeable vessels in my eyes. The insecurities that came with it have been with me for that time as well. I don't leave the house without putting drops in my eyes because I can't handle someome thinking I'm on drugs. In my 20s I went to all the doctors and specialists of traditional medicine to have them tell me it's dry eyes. I don't have allergies and I've done many diets to see how that would affect them. I just live my life now as it's just who I am. Is there something I'm missing that can improve my red eyes? And am I doing any long term damage by using drops every day? Thank you for all that you do. Kind regards. Kristin: Hi Dr. cabral! I completed the stress and metabolism labs and my cortisol came back high and my DHEA came back on the low end, 3.5 (2-23 are the normal range as you know). While it wasn't recommended that I take DHEA by my health coach, I feel as though I have all of the major symptoms especially low libido, difficulty losing weight, and brain fog. I'm 28yo and on Loloestrin birth control which affects hormones. Is it safe to supplement with the Equilife DHEA? If so, how long should I do so for? Senna: Hi doctor Cabral! I would love it if you could do a full show on different kinds of belly fat (hormonal belly, stress belly, etc) and the best ways to get rid of it. Thanks so much in advance! Senna Jen: I am a Vata body type that struggles with hypoglycemia. I have belly fat around my belly button that I can never seem to get rid of. I am starting to suspect that the constant ups and downs of my blood sugar are putting stress on my body and causing the accumulation of this fat. I've heard you say that for hypoglycemia, one can take a tablespoon of honey upon waking. Do you think this would help cut the cortisol in the morning and help with the fat accumulation problem? Trying to brainstorm how to solve this.

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: Sara: Hi! I was just wondering about when the optimal time of day is to take your capsules/supplements. I was wondering if taking them at night before bed might contribute to your GI system being too active similar to eating late, or if taking them in the morning might stimulate the system as well and maybe interrupt a fast. Thank you so much for your time and consideration, I recently discovered you through Sahara Rose's podcast and I feel incredibly grateful for all your hard work and expertise that you share with us. Have a great day! Maria: Long time listener to the show (in fact I haven't missed an episode for nearly two years!) my question is, having low iron levels, I supplement with iron bisglycinate and am curious as to whether this form or iron is heme or non-heme or neither. And whether then pairing this with vitamin C will help with absorption. I have read somewhere that vitamin C only helps the absorption of non-heme iron, curios for your thoughts! Thanks Tracy: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you so much for all you do. I no longer listen to music on my way to and from work because I don't want to miss a show. My question today is this: I've recently been diagnosed with a Ventral Hernia. I have had two children and I'm over 40. I know that my lack of exercise after having kids has most likely contributed to this. I also have diastasis recti which I'm currently working on healing. So the question is, Can you heal a hernia naturally. I live a toxin free life and would rather not having a permanent staple in my body. Thank you again Amanda: Hello, What does it mean or is it a sign of that my stomach gets very, very gassy when I lay down to go to sleep, and when I wake up in the morning. The rest of the day I feel normal. It doesn't make a difference when or what I eat. It is a consistent symptom every night, and most mornings. Meagan: Hi Dr. Stephen Cabral. I am a long-time listener of your podcast and follower on Instagram. The information you put out is invaluable! Recernly, I have been diving into ayurvedic medicine and trying to discover my dosha body type. I listened to your first few podcast episodes about this topic and was trying to use your celebrity pictures as an example, but the one body type combination that I think I am —Vata-Kapha female—did not have an example on the show notes page of that episode. I was wondering if you could explain in more detail the difference between the Vata-Pitta dosha and the Vata-Kapha dosha body type. I think I am one of these but can't figure out which one. Thank you! Sara: Thank you for all the years of education and content! I do sauna and hot yoga and I find myself getting pretty dizzy after (when I stand up). If happens even after a hot bath. I've done this heat therapy for years and it's always happened. I read it might be caused by low blood pressure (which I am on the lower side). Wondering if you've heard about this - is it common? Anything I can do besides take extra time before I get up?

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: Paloma: Why does Ayurveda advocate advocate dairy? I know it was raw & organic but isn't the protein the protein an issue? Victoria: Hi Cabral ! I had a lot of pain on my lower right abdomen. Basically right under my rib cage / the bottom of my rib cage. I went and got a CT scan (to make sure it wasn't appendicitis) and they said it was pelvic congestion syndrome. To give some further background, they found a 3cm ovarian cyst as well, which, I've been reading, might be a contributing factor. I also got a ultrasound to confirm it wasn't gallstones. I currently am dealing with treating chronic lyme and mold toxicity in my body. I have high levels of aspergillus. Any recommendations for the pelvic congestion syndrome, knowing all that I have said? I have been taking your foundational supplement protocol level 3, adrenal soothe & the cowden protocol for lyme. Appreciate your response. Thank you! Natalie: Could you please recommend a protocol for gut health following a colonoscopy? Thank you- Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, no question this time; I just wanted to take the opportunity to let you know how grateful I am for the work you do and the opportunity to have my questions (of which I have many!) answered in person on my favorite podcast! Your knowledge and protocols have been instrumental in optimizing my health. Until next time - Ayubowan! Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral! :) Hope you're well and your family and loved ones also.. My question today is about starches used for thicken food, for example corn, potato, tapioca starch.. which one would you recommend to use and why? Should we stay away from any of them? I try not to use anything with corn, just in case.. but are potato and tapioca better or not? Thanks so much for being so amazing! Anonymous: Hello Dr. Cabral. I was wondering if you had any advice on Filshie Clamps. I had my tubal ligation done with them in 2017. I have had a few symptoms that I have been able to narrow down to my time for ovulation and menstruation, that I had not had prior to 2017. During ovulation my lower back around my lower back, hips, and knees ache pretty badly. Very painful periods. I have had an influx of course hair on my neck, chin, upper lip. I'll spare the listeners the small details. That is the jist of it though. Do you think it's related to the filshie clamps? Also—ovulation and menstruation seem to cause anxiety in me. What do you recommend for that? Thank you so much for your time.
