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: Stephanie: I started getting skin rashes and acne every time I ate gluten, nuts or eggs. I removed that and then I started reacting to a bunch of different foods too such as seeds, dairy, numerous vegetables, avocados, coconut and herbs and the list goes on. I did an organic acid test which showed some yeast but not a massive overgrowth which was odd considering all of my symptoms. I then proceeded with the CBO protocol and have just finished it today. Hoping that I could finally start eating foods again, it looks like I'm still reacting to everything. At this point I am so hopeless because I was also taking zinc and glutamine during those 12 weeks to seal the gut wall. I continue getting the acne and skin rashes with a bunch of foods and I don't know what is going on. My HTMA showed some mercury but nothing too extreme either. Please help. Samantha: Hi Dr Cabral,Can you explain why Fatlossity PM helps me more with getting to sleep than the Deep Sleep Protocol? I've had sleep issues for awhile. I do take Vyvanse which is an adhd stimulant and I know that makes sleep a challenge for many but Fatlossity PM has been a game changer for me. I'm wondering if it's ok to continue long term and what ingredient is in Fatlossity that's not in the Deep Sleep Protocol which could be making a difference? Thank you so much. You're amazing. Sincerely, Samantha Annie: Hello! I am looking at purchasing a weighted blanket. We have a non-toxic mattress and organic bedding, so I'd like to get a weighted blanket that is also non-toxic/etc. Do you have one to recommend? Thanks! LAL: Hi, dr. Cabral,me again, hehe :)I hope you don't mind me having so many questions, but I feel you are an amazing & a very trustworthy source of information.. listening to your podcasts & asking you questions here makes me feel like I'm learning A LOT every day & getting real answers helps with anxiety about all the contradicting information in today's world.. so thank you again!I listened to your answer on juicing watermelon rinds if they're not organic and I have a follow up question:You said to soak all produce in a solution of apple cider vinegar & water instead of in sodium bicarbonate in water.. could you please explain why a bit more in depth? What is the difference between the two? Why is one better than the other? And is it important what kind of vinegar?People here mostly use alcoholic vinegar for cleaning.. is that ok or not for soaking produce?And also how much would you use and for how long would you soak?Thanks for your help & have an amazing day, everyone! :) Tonia: I'd like to know your opinion on the Alkaline Electric/Vegan lifestyle and if there is anything to the African Bio Mineral Balance. Nicole: Hi Doctor Cabral, I am so glad your podcast was recommended to me by one of your listeners. Wish I would have found you years ago so I wouldn't need to be asking these questions. My daughter is 6 and has had stomach pain for about 2 years now. It is mostly around her belly button and when asked what it feels like she says " it feels like puke". Headaches seem to be correlated at times also. Doctors kept saying it was anxiety and told me the xray showed constipation. She has soft normal looking BM everyday. GI doctor just wanted to give her medication. I recently did a food sensitivity test that found high reactions to eggs, dariy( which she ate every day). Since changing the diet I would say she is 90% better. We started your parasite protocol on July 28th. I plan to buy your gut support protocol after completing the parasite cleanse. Is this what you would do? I know you recommend the Vitamins acid test and stool test for gut problems but I can't afford them right now. What else might help? I thought maybe enzymes to help breakdown things her gut cannot? We have made progress but I really want her at 100% and to never hear her say her stomach hurts.Thank you so much for all I have learned so far! Inga: Dear Doctor Cabral,I recently found your podcast and have fallen in love with it ! Your teachings are clear and very helpful.I know your are not a pediatrician, but my one year old son has been diagnosed with eczema. He also has a stuffy nose all the time .. I was wondering if there is any link in the two? Is there anything you would suggest for him? He is still breast feeding but also eat solid foods .

I'm human like everyone else and that means I get the occasional cold, cough, or congestion to varying degrees... But, that doesn't mean I like it and I do try to avoid these "colds" at all costs using various daily healthy lifestyle routines... Regardless, we will all get sick at some point and that's why it's important to already be prepared with what you need to do before it strikes... And of course, this topic is more important than ever during these times when boosting your immune system does work to keep you better insulated from dysregulated immune responses...

Often times I think many people believe that their happiness is dependent upon outside forces… New research shows that some of our ability to be happy is actually hardwired through genetics… However, what has also been shown is that there are other more controllable circumstances that can greatly increase someone's happiness in their life… Tune into today's #CabralConcept 1669 to learn more about this new research and how happiness really can be learned - Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1669 - - - 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! Kristin: Good afternoon. I am at a loss and need some help. In brief, I am 38 year old mother of three. After giving birth to my third child I starting having adult acne and some serious gut issues. I tried going to my primary doctor with no luck, then I went to two holistic doctors that made me feel better temporarily, but the cost of the supplements started to get outrages. I felt like every time I went there was a new supplement I needed to take. At one point I was taking 20 different supplements a day! Now to today, I feel like I can barely eat, everything hurts my stomach and my acne is back on and I have new hair growing in places is should not as a woman. I went to my primary once again and she ran blood saying everything is fine when clearly it is not. I am so frustrated and would love some answers. My dream would to be on the best plan, but I know I can not afford it. What would you recommend? Thank you. Lillian: I have a high cortisol after the challenge with dexomethorphan. But barely over the minimum range. But my symptoms of insomnia and anxiety and thirst etc match Cushings. Do you have any podcasts on Cushings? Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :)Hope you're having a great day!I listened to your podcast on celery juice a couple of times now and I have some questions.. I'm a daily celery juice drinker (usually 1litre or 32oz. half an hour after 1litre of lemon-ginger water) but have recently found out all the soaking, washing, prepping & juicing celery is causing me some anxiety because it takes up a lot of time, not to mention cleaning the juicer afterwards.. and because I also cannot buy organic celery - it being so expensive here, I think I want to start juicing cucumbers instead.. could you tell us if cucumbers are anywhere close to celery in healing compounds? Or is hydration the only benefit?Do they also need to be organic? They're not on the dirty 12 list.. I don't peel them, just soak them in sodium bicarbonate.. is that good for soaking produce? I only ever heard you mention apple cider vinegar for that purpose, but I always use s. b.So basically, do you think we can get the same benefits with juicing cucumbers as with celery?Medical Medium says it's the next best thing if you cannot stand celery (which I have no trouble with) but do celery even if you cannot get organic because the benefits outweigh the negative effects of pesticides.. would you agree?Thank you for all you do.. Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral..This time I am writing on behalf of my friends.. their 5 year old daughter has a rare genetic disease called Ataxia-telangiectasia, have you heard of it?Is there anything they could do to help their little girl have the best life she can have considering her condition?Is there anything that can be done when it comes to these genetic diseases?Is healthy nutrition something they could do? Are there foods she shouldn't consume? And supplements?Her mother doesn't trust alternative medicine, but I hope I can help her father to some information on what to do..Thank you, these podcasts are absolutely amazing, have a lovely day with your loved ones.. and happy healing to all your listeners:) Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral :)Hope you & everyone around you are well..I have a question regarding barley grass juice powder: Medical Medium says it should be in every day heavy metal detox smoothie along with wild blueberries, spirulina, dulse & cilantro because all together are really good at taking heavy metals out of the body.. but it's essential it's a JUICE powder not just barley grass powder.. what is your opinion on that? Why is barley grass juice powder good? Could you please explain this in depth..Thank you so much and have an amazing day, everyone Lisa: Hi Dr. Cabral!First off, I want to say I'm a huge fan of your podcast and really appreciate everything you teach us. I was wondering about the "right" amount of protein intake. I'm 5'2, 107-8 lbs, and I weight train 2-3x a week, run once a week, and do dance cardio 2x a week. How much protein should I be consuming? I'm trying to build muscle through weight training and used to lift 4-5x a week, but I've lessened the amount since being home because of the quarantine. I want to build a bit of muscle or at least maintain, and I'm seeing all types of articles on the internet. What's the optimal amount of protein per pound I should be consuming?Thanks Lisa Lorena: I know eczema is caused by gut issues but can it also be related to hormones? I've realised that my eczema is worse at certain times of my period cycle!

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: Lauren: Dr Cabral,Please help! My 4 & 1/2 year old daughter has just recently developed body odour, some darker hairgrowth on her top lip & legs, a random long hair in the middle of her forehead, and she now has perioral eczema. I am concerned the hair growth may be signs of early hormonal changes, although I should mention she is half maltese, so unsure how much genetics plays a part in the hair growth.Before all this she had a rough chicken skin since a baby, and almost constant bloating, both of which have cleared up since completing the childrens parasite protocol, CBO with mastic gum and is almost finished the heal and seal. Now this eczema on her face makes me think I may need to do some testing on her gut.Previous to these protocols she tested high IgG for egg and moderately to another 16 foods. I have not retested these as yet. She eats very well, lots of wholefoods, almost completely organic, gluten free and the only dairy we have is butter.I am looking for advice on where to go from here, as I am very worried about what is going on in her little body. I am an IHP and student naturopath, but never imagined I'd be practicing on my own children already, and this makes me nervous as they are such precious little souls! Would love your thoughts. Paula: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for what you do and I love listening to the Cabral Concept first thing when I wake up. I don't miss one episode! My dad is 73 and has recently done a scan which showed a significant loss in bone density. He cannot walk more than 20m because he feels a lot of pain. I hate seeing him like this and the doctor said that there's nothing he can do but take very strong painkillers. I know that there isn't really anything he can do because the bone mass is gone but is there anything that he can at least to reduce the pain? Natalie: What exactly is hydroxychloroquine and is it safe? If it is effective at preventing the virus, what are the possible downsides? Will it be an effective solution to the pandemic long-term? Patrick: Hi Dr. Cabral hope all is well. I'm 46 and feel like I'm in the best shape and best health since finding your podcast a few years ago. My question is about speed and endurance I play competitive hockey 2 days a week but feel like I'm losing that extra boost of speed and energy when I need it . I do go to the gym 3 days a week for about 30 min of strength training upper and lower body so I don't feel it's a strength issue. I'm hoping to keep playing sports and be competitive for a long time . Thank you for all you do Ken: Hey Dr. Stephen Cabral. What are your thoughts on frozen collagen peptides? Being a supplement junkie I recently purchased frozen collagen peptides having an amount of 9000 mg each pill with 3000 mg L-Glutathione, also. I know collagen are great for the body as well as glutathione but what are your thoughts particularly on collagen peptides and L-glutathione forms? Thank you for all the value you provide. Dan: Hi Dr. Cabral. About two years ago I started a very strict regiment where I was doing a ketogenic diet, daily intermittent fasting and daily steady state cardio. This initially had me feeling the best I've ever felt in my life both mentally and physically. Unfortunately the results were short lived and after about a 8 months I started experiencing significant digestive issues, loss of sex drive, as well as depression and anxiety. This coupled with some stressful life events had me feeling like I just didn't have any gas in the tank. I had my testosterone level checked and it was very low at 198. I began seeing a functional medicine doctor who found I was in phase 3 HPA axis dysfunction with very low DHEA levels, I had SIBO, and a magnesium and potassium deficiencies. I've heard you say that this is a very predictable way in which the body breaks down on a ketogenic diet. After following my doctors supplementation regiment for about 5 months, going back to a normal diet and reducing exercise I feel so much better and my symptoms have for the most part resolved. What I can't get back to is the feeling of vitality I initially felt on the ketogenic diet. Do you have any insight into why this made me feel so good and how I can get that feeling back.

Believe it or not, it has now been proven that some masks spread the virus faster than wearing no mask at all… When I first read this study I couldn't believe what I was reading and had to look deeper into the science as to why… I'm glad I did because the most up-to-date scientific research now clearly establishes which masks work, which work partially, and which ones are actually worse than no mask at all… Tune in to today's #CabralConcept 1665 to find out the new controversial research on masks and which ones to stay away from – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1665 - - - 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)
