There's a growing wave of confusion online about the difference between cellulite, lipedema, and lymphedema- On today's show, I want to break down the real differences between these three conditions and explain why many people are being misled into thinking they have a medical disorder when, in fact, they may not. I'll share how to identify which condition you might have, what symptoms to look for, and when it's time to seek medical attention (or rebalance naturally). So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3540 as we uncover the reasons why your thighs might appear lumpy, whether it's truly serious, and what you can do about it.

Tylenol during pregnancy and its potential link to autism has been making headlines and sparking heated debates lately. It's a controversial topic, but one that deserves a careful, unbiased discussion. On today's show, I dive into the latest research to help separate fact from fear.

You'll also learn why supporting the body's detox pathways may be one of the most important steps for protecting both mother and child.

What sets dreamers apart from those who actually achieve their goals? The answer might surprise you...it's not talent, it's commitment. In today's episode, we dive into why big goals require big effort and how the difference between wishing and achieving comes down to consistency, discipline, and having a reason that's bigger than yourself.

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… Kellie: Hi! This might an odd question. I am a 38 yo female and have had chronic compartment syndrome since 2007 due to college soccer. It is in both legs and all 4 compartments. I had fasciotomy surgery to open all 4 compartments in both legs February 2014. In my follow up appointment after surgery I explained to the surgeon that my skin was numb above my left inside ankle. He said the nerves will grow back over time. The skin is still numb 10+ years later. I can feel when pressure is applied but just a weird tingle when the skin is touched. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, hope? Thanks for all you do! Carrieann: Hi Dr Cabral - Thank you for all you do! I was diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis. Keeping my histamine levels down is important. I want to try and work on my gut but a lot of the recommendations for this are high histamine (probiotics, bone broth, kefir, etc.) How else can I try to improve gut health and not have it impact my histamine levels? Thanks! Carrieann: Hi Dr Cabral - I followed your 7 day detox and I lost 20 lbs. I know I have a lot of inflammation but this seemed like a lot of weight to lose in such a short time. Can you please help me understand how this happens and what I can do to keep it off? I continued eating a health diet after the detox but gained it all back. I can gain 5 lbs overnight and have put on 30-40 lbs in less than a year. My thyroid has been checked (even functional ranges) and it's ok. Please let me know your thoughts as I am struggling with weight and not eating enough to gain this much. I am currently taking fish oil to help with inflammation. Thanks! Cheryl: Hello I know that it is helpful to use L Lysine supplements when you have shingles but is it also helpful to use Super Lysine ointment on shingles blisters? Ghazal: Hello, Can you help me with pregnancy when all has failed but I still have hope!

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: BM: Hi Dr Cabral! I'm 40y.o. m. Big5 Dec24:1)IgG High-0, Moderate-3(wheat, eggs, chili p.), Low-21, yeast-normal, candida alb-moderate;2)Omega3-11%;3)M&M: elevated mercury, aluminum;4)OAT: candida overgrowth. Jan-Jul2025: 7day detox>CBO protocol>CBO finisher 2 months. Followed sensitive gut guide. Didn't do heavy metals detox, intestinal cleanse. Aug25 IgG (EquiLife (EL)): high12; moderate 38, low 42, yeast-moderate, candida alb-moderate. Working with EL coach. EL coach, your podcasts suggest this is leaky gut. EL wellness plan (Aug25): 7d detox>para protocol, clean gut prob., Healthy gut support, GSE drops>heavy metals detox. Eliminate: all in high+gluten, yeast (have not started yet). Am I on the right path and have you seen such cases in your practice? what is likely root cause? Thank you. Lisa: Can you recommend what to do or take if I experience abdominal pain or discomfort while vacationing in Europe later this fall? I'm concerned that access to the "right" foods might be tough while on the cruise and touring. Currently I'm in the last month of my CBO protocol and have also completed the 14 day detox and 7 day intestinal cleanse . All will be completed before I leave for Europe. Thank you, Lisa Susy: Hi dr Cabral, my minerals and metals test showed that my zinc is optimal and copper is very low even after supplementing with zinc and copper and the DNS for 3 months. But I've noticed that copper is usually not recommended on its own by an IHP. However I've heard some practitioners say that zinc can inhibit proper copper absorption or at least take longer to get optimal levels of copper if taken with zinc. What are your thoughts on that? Or is it possible to get to much zinc if I keep taking it together? Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral, My husband recently purchased a testosterone supplement he came across—probably via Instagram—and I wanted to ask your opinion on the ingredients. Magnesium oxide Ginseng extract (Panax ginseng) Muira puama extract (Ptychopetalum olacoides) Fenugreek extract (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) Fillers (microcrystalline cellulose) Zinc citrate Anti-caking agents (cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose, magnesium salts of fatty acids) Stabilizer (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose) Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) Pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B6) Black pepper extract (Piper nigrum) Coating agents (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol) Coloring agent (calcium carbonate) Do you think this combination is safe and potentially effective? Thanks for your help on this :-) Svetlana: Hello Dr.Cabral, after reading your book and listening to your podcasts I've made many positive changes to my lifestyle, one of them is taking the DNS for breakfast. I'm losing weight now (desired), but it takes me very long to finish the shake and I'm wondering if that's not a good thing in the long run since it keeps my insulin levels up without a break to my digestive system until lunch. It makes me feel very full, sometimes can't finish it until noon when I start it about 8:30am. At lunch time I'm still full and end up skipping lunch and eating supper at 5, no food after 7pm. I only put about 13oz of coconut water (or coconut milk mixed with water), 1 tbsp chia seeds, small handful of aronia berries and about 1/4 cup cauliflower in it. I used to eat 3 large meals and many snacks before Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3536 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: 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 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) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Your stress response doesn't just affect your mind... It can directly impact your lungs as well. Whether it's asthma, allergies, chronic congestion, or lingering post-viral symptoms, stress may be playing a bigger role than you think. On today's show, I want to explore the HPA Lung Axis: the powerful connection between your brain, adrenals, and lungs, and how stress hormones like cortisol can trigger inflammation, weaken your immune system, and make it harder to fight off infections. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3534 as we break down how this brain-adrenal-lung connection works, why it keeps so many people stuck in cycles of inflammation, and what you can do to rebalance your body and breathe easier.

For most people, the advice is simple: stop eating after dinner to improve digestion, support deeper sleep, and boost long-term health. But as with all things in life, there are exceptions and in some cases, a small nighttime snack can actually be beneficial. On today's show we'll break down both sides of the debate and cut through the confusion to decide whether eating before bed supports or sabotages your goals. Join me on Cabral Concept 3533 as we explore whether you should (or shouldn't) eat before bed and how to personalize the answer for your own health journey.

Have you ever felt like you've tried every diet, supplement, or therapy, yet the symptoms still linger and something just feels "off"? Sometimes the missing answers are buried deeper in your labs and that's where functional medicine can uncover hidden patterns that conventional care often misses. On today's Unsolved Health Mysteries, we walk through Kacie's Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test and connect her lifelong struggles with eczema, allergies, anxiety, and inflammation to underlying imbalances like candida overgrowth, mold exposure, nutrient deficiencies, and mitochondrial stress. You'll learn how these root causes can trigger autoimmune conditions and why protocols focused on detox, gut repair, and sleep optimization can create real, lasting change. Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3532 as we dive into the lab results, the plan, and the hope that comes from finally understanding the "why" behind chronic health issues.
