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: Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for sharing your knowledge and being the light that you are. I have a question about pimples. I often get them on my thighs and very occasionally 1 or 2 on my belly and face. I'm a 40 year old female, vata type, healthy weight, feel well, sleep well. Any thoughts? Leanne: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm new to the show after a chance finding and now half way through The Rain Barrel Effect, I know it's going to benefit the whole family so thank you for the work that you're doing! I want to ask a question about my 4 year old daughter. Born overdue by emergency c section, she's had a tough time from the start. Took a long long time for her to breastfeed properly, multiple food allergies when weaning, did not sleep well for the 1st 2 years and now has frequent night wakings, she still has like a cradle cap crust on her scalp which I assume is yeast related, her diet is terrible as she has a genuine aversion to try anything that's not beige, its a struggle. We're also waiting to see a geneticist as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome has been mentioned. Can you give any wisdom on any of the above?! Jeremy: Hi!! I absolutely llhave loved your podcasts! I am worried about my motber and father, both have just turbed 60.. My dad has been eating preservatives and packaged foods for a long time and see.s to think he is unbreakable.. I've finally motivated him and put him on a personal meal plan. He is dominantly Kapha, He is actually taking gym classes now and working out very hard, my question is.. can it be too hard for his heart to handle right now considering he has severe gout and constant inflammation (going down since on the plan) And I want to know what are the best tests to check he is not in danger of a heart attack and also knowing what I can do about it right now. Secondly, my mother. She's always tried to be healthy, she is actually in a state where she struggles to lose weight with any plan I give her as her metabolosm adapted to her extremely restricted and over exercising diet plans She is a person who see's extreme emotion of stress quite often and will not budge with listening on stress management strategies, and with that in mind.. I'm also worried about her heart health.. her memoty in the last 5/10 years has become more and more forgetfu.. I've been begging her to take Omega 3's she also suffers with chronic heart burn.. Meghan: Hey Dr Cabral, I have a tendency for low thyroid and have recently fallen pregnant. I believe I heard it correct that you are not an advocate for people taking thyroid support while pregnant? Would you just encourage thyroid lifestyle improvements like your thyroid smoothie daily and all the things you talk about in the health results accelerator to try and maintain good thyroid health without actually supplementing? Are there risks if I was to supplement with something similar to your daily thyroid support? Thanks for always being an incredible resource and for everything you put out into the world. You are spectacular! Sacha: Hi there! I love your show and had a question about EMF's. I recently moved to Austin Texas and looking to buy an apt close to an "inactive" power plant. I want to protect myself/family from EMF's and was wondering if there is a specific EMF detector device or services you recommend? as well as any products to use in the home to protect ourselves. I know of the defender shield and to turn off wifi/airplane mode etc but I'm interested in specific home product recommendations. Thank you again for all of your help !! Jim: Hi Dr. Cabral - I had COVID in November 2020. Now, several months later (starting in Feb 2021), I'm having GI issues. It feels like indigestion and mild stomach pain that comes and goes. My primary doc put me on Pepsid but I want to address the root cause. What could be causing this and how can I heal my gut issues? In terms of diet, I'm on a primarily plant-based diet and have been for nearly a decade. I don't eat meat. I occasionally eat salmon, eggs and dairy (couple times per week). My main protein sources are legumes and soy. I tend to like acidic foods like coffee, citrus and tomato based foods. In fact, coffee seems to trigger this indigestion so I'm down to one cup per day (from two). I've been making a point of trying to eat a salad or smoothie each day and I'm making more of an effort to eat fermented foods. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

On this week's Conversations with Cabral we will be talking all about female hormone imbalances and PCOS… It's a topic that isn't addressed often enough and as a result, many women overlook the underlying root causes preventing them from rebalancing their body and getting well again… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1910 I am speaking with guest experts, Tallene and Sirak, about PCOS root causes and the protocols to rebalance your body - Enjoy the show and let us know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1910 - - - 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)

Published by the American Psychological Association it is now being confirmed that the average American has gained between 10-29 lbs over the past year during the pandemic… The issue is not just the weight alone, but rather the toll it is taking on people's mental, emotional, and physical well-being… So on today's #CabralConcept 1909 I'd like to break down the exact pandemic weight gain statistics, as well as dive deep into what we can do to reverse this health crisis - Enjoy the show and let me know if I can answer any questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1909 - - - 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)

We've been led to believe that "everything in moderation" is okay… But the truth is that that's just not the truth… Wheat (and one of its proteins gluten) is an inflammatory food that can cause massive gut issues when consumed too often… So on today's #CabralConcept 1908 we'll talk about what happens physiologically when you eat wheat (even when you have no digestive symptoms), as well as how often is most likely too often to consume this inflammatory food - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1908 - - - 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)

When we look back on our life things begin to seem much more clear… However, in the present moment, we get caught up with all of our day-to-day activities that blur what's really important in the long run… That's why on today's #CabralConcept 1907 I'd like to share with you how to view your time as your life as well as how to use it more wisely based on what you value the most - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1907 - - - 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)

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! Monique: Hi Dr. Cabral, I discovered you after listening to a podcast where Melissa Ambrosini interviewed you and it's changed my life so much. So thank you for all that you do! I have a question about a Herb Tea I found in a store called Cat's Claw (Uncaria Tomentosa). On the back of the packet it states: "Cat's Claw is an immune stimulant, rich in proanthocyandin, a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger. This combined with it's white blood cell increasing effect, makes it effective in the treatment of cancer. It cleanses the intestinal tract, assisting with Crohn's disease, arthritis, hemorrhoids, parasites, leaky bowel syndrome, ulcers, gastritis, allergic disorders, diverticulitis and other gastro-in-test I also disorders. Also helpful for chemotherapy recovery." It states to simmer 1 teaspoon in 1 cup of water for 10 minutes , take 3 times a day. I'm wondering if you have heard of it and if so what your views are? Thanks for your time! Kelly: Hello Dr. Cabral. I was diagnosed with atypia hyperplasia in one of my breast 8 months ago. I had the area surgical removed and no cancer was detected. I am now taking Tamoxifen (20 mg) daily to reduce the risk of breast cancer. I am working with a Naturopath who works specifically with people who have cancer or who are at risk of cancer. He has me on a protocol that includes 20 mg of Melatonin. I had to work up to that amount over a period of a few weeks but now I am fine with it. My question though is I have noticed my morning blood sugar level is higher than what my levels typically are. I used to wake with a blood glucose level between 75 and 85. Now it is typically between 95 and 105. I eat a mostly paleo diet, exercise 6 days week, and keep myself very hydrated. So my question is, can that much melatonin have an impact on my blood sugar levels? Laura: Hi Dr. Cabral! I recently took the 3-day stool test. My results came back with a 1+ level of Candida Parapsilosis. Is this treated the same way that other types of Candida are treated? I'd love to hear from you regarding what causes this and how to treat it. Thank you SO much for your time and expertise - we're all getting a little smarter because of you. Laura Tom: Hi Dr Cabral, first of all, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the community! So, everyone knows that they must exercise and that there are a lot of benefits for it. But why SHOULD you exercise? If you're healthy, happy, weight is good, you're fit... why should exercise still be a must? Christina: Hi doctor Cabral! I hope you're doing great! There's this weird health question that's been on my mind, and I figured that if anyone would know the answer, it would be you. So, I'm a 40 yo female and have been celibate for over 4 years. When I was in a relationship, my periods were normal and regular. After my relationship ended, not so much anymore. One month they are 29 days, the other 42, and so on. Can it be that the fact that I'm not having sex anymore is influencing my hormones and making my periods irregular? I know it's a weird question, but I have a gut feeling that could be it. I'm super curious to hear your thoughts about it. Thanks a million! Christina Dar: Hi love the show big fan. Have a two part question. Do you know anyone that's gone on a mucusless diet based on Arnold Ehret's results and if so how did they feel? The guy ate leafy greens and fruits exclusively and was able to hike up mountains while fasting, walk 56 hours consecutively and bike I believe something like 1000 kilometers at one time which for a non athlete is mind blowing. Also how long do you think it would take the average person to clean their bowels on a juice fast I'm on day 8 and surprisingly had a bowel movement. Ate the sad diet up until the last few years. Now going more plant based. Thanks!

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: Megan: Hi Dr C, love your work! I'm writing in to try and better understand in your own experience wild yam and the benefits to someone with low progesterone. There seems to be a lot of warnings out there about using it but keen to better understand from a research perspective how it actually helps to boost progesterone when it seems to be the common understanding that it doesn't actually appear to be able to convert the diosgenin outside of a lab. Are there any issues with this raising estrogen and dhea further for people with elevated levels of those. Could this be beneficial for fertility to help supercharge the cervical mucous and potentially increase chance of the embryo 'sticking'. Keen to hear why you are now using it in one of your new products and when to use it. If so can the wild yam cream be just as affective? Thanks so much Chelsea: My 6 month old son has been diagnosed with a peanut allergy. I've listened to your previous podcasts where you recommend running an organic acid test and a stool test to see if there is any candida / leaky gut. I'm wondering if this allergy could have anything to do with heavy metals (potentially from vaccines) and if i should run a test for that? Also I just found out that our home has mold, so we are moving right away to hopefully solve that problem. Do you have protocols for babies this young? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all you do. Alida: Hi Stephen, I've been struggling with chronic hives for almost a year and nobody can help me find the root cause of it to make it stop. All the doctors do is give me pills and creams to cover up what is going on. They aren't helping anyway. To give you a little background, I'm a 42 year old female, overweight, had a full hysterectomy 4 years ago, have had acid reflux since I was 20 and been taking omprazole for 22 years, 2 years ago they found a tumor on my pituitary gland which is causing adrenal insufficiency (I'm on 5mg of Prednisone for this) and I have sleep apnea. Among all these, the hives is definitely the worst to deal with. Of course I still want to make everything better, but the constant hives and itching is extremely bothersome. I've tried a couple different diets with no success. I'm hoping you are able to help please. Marty: I've been doing the intermittent fasting for 4 weeks, 16/8. I've gained 4 pounds. Help! Sam: Hi, Dr. Cabral! I'm wondering if you know anything about Betaine (trimethylglycine)supplementation and methylation. I read about it in a MTHFR group I'm in but haven't found much info on it. My second question is regarding high blood pressure and hormones. What is the connection, if any? I have had issues with anxiety and high blood pressure despite being thin and eating clean since having my son two years ago.I have not had my hormones tested but recently did Organic Acids and HTMA tests and it was recommended that I test hormones as well. Thanks so much! Lily: Hi Dr. Cabral, I was wondering if there's a connection between high blood glucose and the gut health? Does one influence the other? I'm asking because I've been wearing CGM for a few weeks and it shows that a lot of foods that I'm currently eating are raising my blood sugar - way above the normal. I also have a history of gut issues (imbalanced gut flora), so I was wondering if there's connection between the two. Thanks so much in advance for your answer, I appreciate you and all that you do!
