1969: Menstrual Weight Gain, Sustainable Fishing, Extended Fasting, COA, Heat Sensitive, Anti-Aging Drugs (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… Let's get started! Sarah: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you so much for all the time you put in to help everyone. I really appreciate it and I have learned so much from you. My question is:- I have histamine intolerance and I'm certain that I have a leaky gut as I have a lot of food sensitivities. I only get this during hay fever season. This is my second year of controlling it through diet and not pharmaceuticals. I am keeping a very detailed food diary with symptoms and I am also tracking my weight daily. I would like to know what your thoughts are on looking at weight when trying to work out food sensitivities. Also during menstruation is it natural to gain any weight at all? Just so I can factor this in when I am tracking. I do not have any history of eating disorders and I wish I could afford labs, maybe one day. Thank you so much. Sarah Kevin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering if you have had the chance to view the documentary: "Seaspiracy?" If so, what are your thoughts on the ability to actually accomplish sustainable fishing, along with the true quality of the fish we are consuming? As stated in the documentary, wild and organic fish are not truly reflective of those labels. Thank you!! Ericka: Hello, Love your podcast. Learning a lot! I wanted to ask. I follow Ayurevdic lifestyle and I wanted to ask a question. I eat two meals a day. My work day starts at 6am. My first meal is usually around 5am. Lunch between 11 and 12. I do not eat dinner, never been a nigh eater, but around 3, I will have a smoothie. I want to try fasting from lunch to breakfast giving me a 17 hour fast. I am predominantly Pitta, can throw me off? Ericka Nicolette: Hi Dr. Cabral, First, thank you for all your guidance and expertise over the years! I have been working so hard to remove as many toxins as possible and get myself to the healthiest spot. I love your resources page to help with this transition. I recently purchased a Berkey, and received feedback saying that's not the best option since they are not third party certified. Also, with Equilife, I've transitioned all my supplements over to them, but am worried why they don't share their COA. I think the transparency would really help ease peoples minds. Can you provide guidance around these two things? As always, thank you!!! Sophia: Hi Dr. Cabral! Is there a root cause for how people react to temperature? "Cold weather people vs hot weather people" is an idea that's thrown around sometimes, and I'm wondering if there's a way to CONTROL my preferences. I have seasonal depression in the summer, and it usually starts because the heat makes me lethargic, uncomfortable, and I feel claustrophobic. It's like I lose 3 months of my life, and I want to know if there's something I can do to control my anguish in hot weather. I've tried hot yoga, I take cold showers, exercise, drink lots of water and am on an SSRI, but if there's another way of controlling this annual downfall, I'd love to hear what you have to say. It's almost as debilitating as allergies.Thank you for any thoughts! Alyssa: Hi dr Cabral, Fellow Bostonian here! I'm curious if you have heard of David Sinclair's research out of Harvard university on anti aging using metformin and various supplements to reverse aging. If so, what are your thoughts on his research and his personal anti aging protocols he uses. What do you personally use. Thanks in advance!

1968: Burn Fat as Fuel, Eyes Tearing, Heart Palpitations, UTI, Achilles Injury, Itchy Stomach After Eating (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: Paula: Thank you so much for your incredible work. I'm an IHP level 2 btw so I did learn a lot about exercise. However, I was reading Awaken The Giant Within by Tony Robbins and I'm not sure I agree with the section where he talks about exercise. He says that anaerobic exercise burns glycogen as the main source of fuel while causing the body to store fat but aerobic however burns fat as fuel. He talks about the problem of people pushing themselves beyond their heart rates in an anaerobic state and that this is dangerous because the body shunts blood from critical organs because it needs that immediate demand for blood and so these organs lose a large amount of oxygen. According to him "wind sprints create an immediate oxygen deficit in the cells and begin to train your metabolism to burn glycogen/sugar but the fat continues. Apparently the key is to burn fat and not sugar. Very confused now as I thought workouts such as tabatas were very effective to burn fat! Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral, what makes eyes (or an eye) teary in sunlight? My left eye seems to almost always tear at the outer corner when in the sun. Sometimes it won't stop. My eyes seem to be a little sensitive, nothing I haven't been able to deal with but for example when I looked out the window the other day I suddenly had a blurry and dizzy feeling to the point I couldn't see anything and turned round and then a few seconds later was fine. I'm not great with fluorescent lights either. There's a chance I could possibly be anaemic so whether it's related I'm not sure, or dry eye (I supplement enough including primrose oil and Seabuckthorn oil). Cannot really recall how long I've had this happening. If I wear sunglasses it seems to be ok but I think it was Chervin (Cymbiotika founder) that said our eyes should be exposed to sunlight at least for a bit of time. Thank you for all you do. Vera: Hello doctor Cabral, I've noticed that from time to time I get heart palpitations at the same time when I feel bloated. It actually often happens just before I burp or pass gas. Do you think it is connected? And what can be the cause of it, and the best remedy? Thank you in advance for your answer! Best,Vera Lyndsey: Hi Dr Cabral I've been on long term antibiotics for approximately 9 years ever since getting married. I have coeliac disease and from listening to your podcasts, I've found a IHP here in Australia to work with as I'm sure I have some terrible gut problems. I'll be starting the CBO protocol soon (am waiting for my starter lab results) but I had been taking an antibiotic called macrodantin after having sex to avoid a UTI. I've purchased your UTI protocol with the idea that while I'm working to correct my health I could possibly use this in place of the antibiotic. The last thing I want to do is be on antibiotics while I'm trying to get getter. Does this sound like a good plan to you? Previous to the regular antibiotics I had a UTI at least once per month so have been taking antibiotics for my entire married life 16 years! I have listened to your podcasts about UTI's but I'm not sure any of them directly relate to my issue. Any insight would be great thanks Kelly: I am a 52 year old female weighing 190 5'5. A recent MRI has shown marrow edema underlying the calcaneal attachment of the distal Achilles tendon. I am an active person currently trying to lose 45 lb and don't like taking ibuprofen. Is there any natural protocols (supplement, essential oil, massage technique or exercise) I could try to relieve the edema or assist this bone marrow issue.Any suggestions is appreciated. Thank you so very much! Kelly Sophia: Hi Dr. Cabral! For many years I've had this weird itchiness around my lower abdomen - right under the belly button and across my gut - usually a couple minutes after I eat. This sensation is usually also accompanied by bloating and just general discomfort in my body. I always chocked it up to my body dysmorphia, but I'm wondering now if it could be epidermal inflammation from the food I'm eating. It seems like the itchiness is right in the adipose tissue of that area which is super uncomfortable. I don't have a rash or hives or any discoloration. Thank you for any thoughts!

1963: The Missing 2 Lines From the Bible on Asking & Receiving (MM)
Whether you're religious, or not, there are some major life lessons in the Bible that could help all of us to become better human beings… But did you know that not all of the original books of the Bible were included?
