1808: Vegan Carnitine, Low Pancreatic Enzymes, Anemia Mediterranea, Man Fuel Diet, Overcoming Food Sensitivities, Selenium Overload (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! Freddy: In general, not looking for specific advice, do you recommend plant based or vegan dieters supplement with choline and/or carnitine? Both tend to be lacking in plant foods but there are studies that show too much choline and carnitine can lead to the toxic compound TMAO. You always have such a balanced perspective on things so your thoughts on this subject are much appreciated. All the best, Freddy Tommy: If someone is low on elastase in a stool test, what should do the person be doing to improve it? Unsure if digestion problems is from low pancreatic enzymes or SIBO related. Bettina: Dear Dr Stephen Cabral As always thank you for all the work that you do and for sharing all your knowledge. My husband is Italian, and he has something called anemia mediterranea. I understand that it is not exactly Beta-thalassemia nor is it Alpha-thalassemia. Have you heard of anemia mediterranea before and is there anything you suggest for people with this? Anything for him to be careful of or to make sure to do? I have tried searching through you podcasts but only found two podcasts on thalassemia but nothing on anemia Mediterranean. I wish you all the best,Bettina Scott: Hi Dr Cabral, Thanks for all of the information you supply and the work you and your team do. I came across your Man Fuel Diet, is this something you would still recommend or would you make any adjustments to this from when it was first created? Thanks Hailey: Hi Dr Cabral, first of all thank you so much for all your knowledge and willingness to help others. You've taught me a lot and Because of you I no longer struggle with asthma, allergies, and I have reversed my diagnosed PCOS. My life changed because of your book only for the better! My question is: Could it be possible that a food that is anti viral/antibacterial or very detoxing can cause an inflammitory response to show up on the IgG food sensitivity test (For exam a food that is causing a release of toxins via die off.) My second question is can you explain why our food sensitivities can change and how often most people should then rerun a food sensitivity test? Once again thank you, Hailey Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. Even though I mostly download and listen to your podcast while I am driving, I commend you on the YouTube initiative. By time you read this we'll be well within the new year, so best wishes to you, your family and staff. My question has to do with Brazil nuts. Is it true that if you eat more than 3 or so per day you're highly susceptible to selenium poisoning? I enjoy them but I've never seen any warning on any package. On that note, are there other nuts, seeds, herbs or supplements that you can list off the top of your head, that we should be wary of the upper daily limit? Like those we may use daily. Prosper!

1807: Vitamin D/K2, Moldy Sweat, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ganoderma Mushroom, Ayurvedic Herb, Hirschsprung's Disease (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: Ryan: With regards to D3 supplementation and vitamin K2, how important is it to get K2 if you're supplementing D3? If I'm taking 5000IU of D3 daily, but am not getting K2 from supps or eating organ meats or grass-fed butter etc... do you think that could be an issue? Does taking magnesium and eating a well-rounded diet offset this potential issue? With the food sources of K2 being what they are, surely hardly anyone is getting much K2. What are the work arounds or other factors involved here? Or should I just make sure to get a K2 supp? Mike: Hi Dr. Cabral how often should someone use a infrared sauna for mold toxicity or heavy metal toxicity? Thank you. Sara: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you so much for all your amazing content and giving us the opportunity to learn so much and so deeply about the body and mind! I am today writing for a friend. I tried finding podcast about this (when looking for health-answers I always first go to your podcast), but without luck. My question is regarding rematoid arthritis and which underlying imbalances to focus on the heal or at least minimize the pain, stiffness and swollen joints? She is not yet diagnosed, but as I am a nurse, it seems like that's what it is. Never the less it's definite that she has inflammation and a lot of pain and being swollen in the joints and the high pain also seem to come in waves. I've guided her to make changes in the diet and with lifestyle to increase gut health and lower inflammation and she also tried MSN, Glycogen, Collagen, Magnesium to help the joint-health. But anyway, I would like to know more on how to address and guide her to a more balanced life if this actually is reumatoid arthritis? Thank you so much for your help and guidance! Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral, you amazing soul :) I heard of some benefits of using the mushroom ganoderma but I always have to check it up with you, hehe.. you are my go-to on all things health.. so please explain more about it if you can.. I have fibromyalgia, but I'm sure information could also help others.. Thank you so much for everything you do, much love to you, your family and everyone trying to heal. Carolyn: Hello Dr. Cabral, My son and I were patients of yours a few years back and you were very helpful!!! I am hoping you can help once again! I just found out I am positive homozygous APOE, and I am terrified, as my mother has dementia. You have mentioned the benefits of Ashwaganda, but I have read where it is not recommend for people with autoimmune issues. (I have Hashimotos, and Sjogrens.) Should I still take it? Thank you, and God Bless! Carolyn Cory: Hi Dr Cabral, my 4 week old is currently being tested for hirschsprung's disease. While we wait for test results and maybe surgery, the surgeon has prescribed 4 bowel irrigation's a day. It seems excessive and I worry that she'll lose muscle tone and become dependent on the irrigation to have a bowel movement. Are there natural ways to manage hirschsprung's disease? Thank you.

1804: The 7 Reasons Why FM Detoxes Help You Lose Weight Even When Nothing Else Works (WW)
In conventional medicine, the typical dogma of the day is to look at each part of the body as totally separate from the whole… This is why so few people ever escape their "dis-ease…" The truth is that until you unify the whole and set the stage where healing can take place you will never achieve your wellness, weight loss, or anti-aging goal… The good news is that there is always hope and on today's #CabralConcept 1804 I'd like to share with you the 7 reasons why FM Detoxes help you lose weight (and begin to heal) even when nothing else works - Enjoy the show and let me know if you have any questions! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1804 - - - 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)

1803: Outrage Over New Dietary Guidelines (TWT)
We shouldn't be surprised by now, but this just happened. The USDA hired a group of doctors and scientists to provide them with new guidelines for the food pyramid for the next 5 years… The goal was to see if edits could be made to the current food pyramid that would further improve people's health… Well after the experts presented their recommendations the USDA almost completely overlooked them and held back on what could have been very helpful to hundreds of millions of people… Luckily, I was able to find out what the recommendations were and on today's #CabralConcept 1803 I'd like to recap the outrage over the new dietary guidelines and share what they were meant to be - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1803 - - - 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)
