The Cabral Concept

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! Dustin: Is the daily probiotic support contraindicated for someone with a slight candida overgrowth? I just got my Big 5 labs and it showed a minor candida overgrowth. Part of my wellness plan is the Limited Yeast Protocol and it will be a few months before I begin that, therefore, I was curious if I need to discontinue my Daily Probiotic Support in the meantime since it will be a little while before I do the Limited Yeast Protocol. Thanks for all you do! Becky: Hi Dr. Cabral I have a question. I contracted COVID-19 back in July 2020. I wasn't very sick just achy and had flu like symptoms but my smell and taste disappeared. I thought I was starting to get it back when all of a sudden I started smelling and tasting horrible things. Everything started to smell like rancid Thai food and now as it is January 2nd it's not any better. Only sweet things taste like anything and everything smells awful. Do you have any suggestions on how to get my olfactory nerves to rebuild faster? Thank you!! Angela: Dr. CabralLove your show and the work you do to help the community! I'm generally a listener curious in all the different medical dilemmas you discuss on your show, however I now find myself in search of answers. I recently had a dental implant and the following day from the surgery I woke up with the feeling of a lump in my throat that has persisted for over two months now. The only time I don't fee the lump sensation is when I'm eating and drinking and when I'm asleep. I saw an ENT who diagnosed me with Globus sensation in which we are trying to rule out silent acid reflux first and then moving on to other possibilities of what may be causing this. In the mean time I'm looking for solutions to help minimize the feeling of the lump. There is no pain and does not present any issues when eating and drinking but it is so annoying. Any ideas of some non toxic remedies? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!Angela Ashley: I want to thank you for all your research you do to help everyone you can going through dis-ease in their body. I suffer with pain and pressure in my stomach. Recently I had a barium swallow done to make sure that my surgery from 2007 to repair a hiatal hernia done was still holding up. They noticed that I have a lot of air trapped in my upper left colon. I have completed the food sensitivity test and cut out the foods I was sensitive to. I have Celiac, acid reflux, dairy free, no eggs, no vanilla, or pineapple. I was wondering what your recommendation would be to help with this. I have listen to your podcast on the different test to take and wanted to know which test to start with. Looking forward to working with you and healing my dis-ease. Dustin: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am a long time listener and wanted to ask about a hint you gave back in 2019 where you eluded to an anti-aging supplement formula you were working on and you stated it would be coming out around February the following year (2020). You were very excited about it and eluded to some of the ingredients, which I was excited about. I waited all year with peak anticipation :) and nothing came. Is this still in the works? Justin: I was wanting information specifically on pulsatile tinnitus, and if regular tinnitus frequently accompanies that or not. I do have both and I'm not sure if they're the major culprits to my insomnia or theirs other underlying issues. I understand that pulsatile tinnitus could be a symptom of cardiovascular issues. I do have a heart murmur, does that coincide with pulsatile tinnitus some how? Hannah: Greetings Dr. Cabral! My dad is 62 years old, has been battling Congestive Heart Failure, and is sadly pumped full of pharmaceuticals to deal with everything. He had 2 mitral clips inserted this past October, and is now being evaluated to hopefully be put on the list for a total heart transplant. It's so tough and sad to watch him go through this, and I wish he didn't have to struggle so much. Would working with a skilled Naturopathic Doctor be possible, even with his condition and dozens of medications? What would you do in this situation? Thank you so much for shining your light!!

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: Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm writing on behalf of my sister in law. During almost the entire duration of her pregnancy with my nephew she experienced extreme hyperemesis gravidarum. It was so severe that she had a mid-line IV of metoclopramide for a month because she couldn't even keep water down. Vitamin B6 was eventually suggested to her and that helped more than anything else. She wants another child but her experience with that pregnancy was so terrible that she, understandably, does not want to risk going through it again. The question is, what might the underlying causes be and, if dealt with, can she have confidence that she wouldn't have the same issue again? Her doctor told her that she's basically allergic to pregnancy hormones but our hope is you might have some better insight for us. Thank you so much in advance. I wrote into you 2 years ago about my fibroadenomas and shortly thereafter I ran the big 5 labs. My mind was blown by how your answer to my question on the Cabral House Calls lined up completely with my lab results! It's clear that you have invaluable knowledge and I can't express how grateful I am to you for sharing that with me and so many others. My whole family has decided to run the big 5 labs and I can hardly wait to see the healing that it brings! Thank you! Raquel: Hi Dr Cabral, I had my thyroid levels tested and it showed that it's underactive. After supplementing naturally (no synthetic hormone) for over 9 months, many of my symptoms improved except this intense muscle weakness. For instance, although i exercise often, when I do long-holds during yoga my legs shake so much that I can no longer breath properly unless I stop. What could help with this? I also feel it when I stretch after a run or during body-weight exercises. Thank you. Cory: I am currently seeing a functional medicine doctor for candida, and leaky gut. She wants me to stay away from all gluten right now. I have been staying away from gluten for 6+ months now with the occasional cheat. What are your thoughts on this? I've heard if you take something out of your diet your body is more sensitive to it when you add it back in. Darrel: Good day Dr. Cabral. You regularly recommend 7-9 servings of fruit on your show, I was wondering if fruits that aren't native or relatively known in North America are included in this. In the Caribbean, we've things like Pommecytheres (June plums), Pomerac (malay apples), padoo, cashews, custard apples, cashews, balata, chennete etc. Would they also have similar nutritional profile and antioxidant qualities or should we too seek out importing blueberries and other fruit that aren't necessarily native to us? Keep up the great work. Kate: Hey Dr. Cabral! Hoping you can help me out. I've been WFPB for the last 9 months. I have lost over 50 lbs, and am now in my healthy weight range. I eat to full satiety, but still am 25% body fat and would like to decrease that percentage a few points. I have felt extremely well until very recently. I have lost my period and believe I'm suffering from other symptoms of hypothalamic amenorrhea such as feeling cold, fatigued, sleep disturbances, frequent urination etc. I am confused on how this can be happening when I am eating 2500+ calories every day, only working out lightly 2-3 times a week and still am a "higher" body fat than traditional HA sufferers. Please help me know what to do next, I am stumped.

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! Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral,I've been following a plant based pescatarian diet. I also love eating vegan meals of non gmo/organic tofu and legumes. I recently did your Big 5 tests and my food sensitivities came back that I'm sensitive to soy and many beans. I'm basically left with black beans and pinto beans. I'm currently following the CBO protocol (1 month in) and feeling great! I will try re-introducing those foods in the coming weeks. I've been eating WAY more fish now. My question is...is it safe to eat fish everyday for lunch & dinner? I eat only wild caught and low mercury fish. sockeye salmon, cod, haddock, shrimp, mussels, mackerel. I know fish has many health benefits plus it's delicious. I also feel my best following a plant based pescatarian diet. But our oceans are still very polluted so I wonder if it's possible to eat TOO much fish in a week. I would love your thoughts.Thank you! Mike: Hi Dr Cabral is it possible to have high levels of mold toxicity for 3 years and just now have symptoms? It's been 3 years since I left the moldy house. I took the mycotoxin test from Great Plains and Chaetoglobosin A was at 107 when it should be under 10. I started developing symptoms on September 18 and have been getting worse. Karen: Hello Doctor Cabral and thank you for being a most-trusted and consistent resource in a time when fads and contradiction are so prevalent and so hard to decipher.My question is related to combining whey protein powder with collagen powder. I recently heard a popular health podcaster say that these two proteins should not be combined, but he didn't take time to explain his viewpoint.After a hard workout I like to combine these two protein sources.Is there some sort of problem with the uptake of amino acids when these two protein sources are combined or is there something else I am misunderstanding?Thanks SO very much! Heather: Dear Dr. Cabral,I am new to your program and functional medicine and I have embraced it whole heartedly. I am a 44 year old who will be having a double hip replacement. I have changed my diet and detoxed, used acupuncture, chiropractic care, physical therapy and medication. However, none of these have helped and I am barely able to walk and need the surgery to function.My question is: what are the possible causes for needing this surgery so young and is there a likelihood that I would need replacement surgery for other areas ; like my knees? Anonymous: Let me start off with a big thanks to you Dr. Cabral and everyone working with you. What you all have created is such a gift to anyone and everyone who is interested in taking charge of their health.I am a 48 year old woman who exercises regularly, eats healthfully, and works hard to manage my health. I do not have any medical problems but nearly every evening I suffer for several hours with excessive gas.I recently developed what I believe is lactose-intolerance and though the gas has decreased since giving up dairy, it is still a nightly problem. Ironically, the rare evenings when I don't experience this problem are days when I have NOT eaten particularly healthy.The only thing I can equate this to is fiber intake. Most days I consume quite a bit of fiber as part of a healthy eating plan. When I do not eat healthfully, I consume very little fiber and this seems to result in less gas.I don't really want to decrease my fiber consumption as I feel like it is a beneficial prebiotic for healthy bacteria. Am I mistaken?And, what can I do to decrease the gas?Thank you SO much for helping me with what feels like a very embarrassing problem. Stacey: What are your thoughts on the Covid19 vaccine? I am a healthcare worker and am apprehensive to get the vaccine. My main concern is about the mRNA attaching to or replicating any cancer cells that could be in the body. Could mRNA cause abnormal cells to reproduce, or could this technology actually help in our fight against cancer?

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: Mike: Hi, Dr Cabral can mold toxicity cause Pre-diabetes or type two diabetes? Lorena: Is it true that salt increases cellulite due to water retention? I'm referring to good quality salt such as himalayan and Celtic salt but people tend to say that I go a little overboard with it in my meals haha! I've been noticing some cellulite indeed and I eat very clean mostly plant-based foods and exercise daily. I also do daily Ayurvedic self massages and have done a few of your functional medicine detoxes. Any advice? Maria: Hello! Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and new year :)I would like to ask for your opinion on 'Getiana Lutea root' and 'Zingiber Officinale root' as a digestive support supplement. This was recommended by my naturopath but have never heard you speak of these before. I was told one must be careful with taking digestive enzymes with Sibo and that these would be safe to use. Thank you so very much. Maria Maria: Hi again, I also have a one other questions. I purchased an organic toothpaste and realised it contains 'organic ethanol'. Would this be okay in toothpaste? It is the second ingredient after Aloe Vera so I am assuming there is a decent quantity of it inside. Appreciate your help!! Adonis: Hi Dr. Cabral, what binders can someone take for Chaetomium? It was really high on my Mycotox test. It was 108 when it should be less then 10. I really can't find information on this type of mold and how to get it out of my system. Dan: Dear Dr Cabral, long term listener and big fan reporting in. My girlfriend is having issues losing weight. She was diagnosed with PCOS and insulin resistance and has recently been having panic attacks and depression. She also has persistently high CRP, around 10. She turned pescatarian a few years back and has started to exercise more but she is still finding it difficult to lose weight. I suspect she has raised cortisol levels and a hormonal imbalance which are likely contributing to her inflammation and poor metabolism. Her thyroid levels were normal, around 1.5 TSH. Have you any advice where to start, do you think your fatlossity plan will work with these root conditions or do you think there needs to be some preparatory work to see the maximum results? From your number 1 fan Dan. Lauren: Can you do a review on Baruka nuts? I'm also interested in your thoughts on their trail mix which has a mix of the fruit and nuts.
