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:    Maggie: I’m on the last week of the 21 Day Detox and feel amazing. Do you recommend I do another protocol of yours?   Maya: Hello doctor Cabral, I'm a 45-year-old woman with a lot of goals I want to achieve. However, my monthly cycle appears to hinder my progress. During the initial two weeks post period, I feel enthusiastic, energetic, clear-minded, and ready to conquer the world. But, a few days after ovulation, I experience a decline in energy. My workouts become more draining, my thoughts turn negative, and I struggle to stay on track with my goals. I know that this is likely due to hormonal fluctuations, but I would love to maintain consistent energy levels throughout my cycle. Are there any supplements or strategies I could implement to sustain this energy? It's worth noting that I lead a healthy, active lifestyle and am very mindful of my cycle. Thanks so much for your answer, you're the best! Maya   Kristen: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for your podcast, I’ve been learning a lot from it. I’m a dietitian and I’m having a really hard time understanding the food sensitivity tests that functional medicine practitioners use (listened to recent episode on that). This is a test that dietitians generally do not use. From my understanding, these tests reflect a normal ‘reaction’ to the foods that we have recently and regularly eat. When they remove these foods during the elimination phase and retest, it only makes sense that the IgG response to these foods is lower, since it hasn’t recently been eaten. When these clients come to me with these results, I rarely pay attention to the results, but rather focus on ‘cleaning up’ their diets, lifestyle, etc. Would love to hear your thoughts on my view!   Jack: I completeled a mycotoxin test I have high mycophenolic acid how can I detox it out of system where did it come from please help   Erin: Thoracic pain/tightness…I grew up playing sports and then played competitive golf through college. I remember at the beginning of every round my upper back was always sooo tight and it felt like a really deep tightness. So much so it interfered with my swing but after 3-4 holes it started to loosen. Fast forward to now and it seems my thoracic area is constantly tight and if I do weights or like yesterday, a lot of raking, that area is so sore and tight today. What is causing this and what can i do? Sometimes i feel it constricts my breathing when it gets so tight after heavy weights or physical activity involving my upper body.     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/3081 - - - 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?

More than half of adults in the United States regularly take some form of prescription medication.   While I'm committed to helping people uncover the root causes of their health issues, I recognize that many rely on these medications.   However, it's crucial to understand—and what conventional medicine often omits—is that certain pharmaceuticals can deplete your body of essential vitamins and minerals.   So on today’s Cabral Concept 3079, I want to go over seven popular pharmaceuticals, the nutrients they deplete, and what you can do to ensure you are replacing them.

There is one health concern that research shows to be the true underlying root cause of diseases such as cardiovascular issues, blood pressure concerns, diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancer, depression, autoimmune issues, and more.   Unfortunately, this issue is not well understood by conventional medicine, but we are beginning to see more and more people discussing it.   So today I want to dive deeper into this and go over what it is, how it impacts your health and foods you can avoid.   Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3077, where I share with you the #1 health issue that no one is talking about.

One of the biggest hurdles you face when learning something new is the pressure to excel quickly.   In doing so, you often overlook that the process of learning is just as important, if not more so, than the outcome.   On today’s show, I want to share a concept from Zen Buddhism that I incorporate into my life. This concept helps me reframe how I think about achieving my goals and brings a greater enthusiasm for life.   Join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3076 to explore the Shoshin Mindset and understand why you don’t need to be great to get started.

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…   Kelsi: hi dr. cabral! there is SO much conflicting information regarding coffee and PCOS. as someone who struggles with high androgen/testosterone production, should i not be drinking any caffeine? does caffeine really increase androgen hormones? i drink 1 cup of organic, mold free coffee per day. ive justified not giving it up due to how much joy it brings me. thanks!   Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral, I get horrible gas when I eat energy balls that I make made of bobs red mill gluten free oats, nut butter, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds and honey. I recently did the big 5 and none of these came up as a sensitivity. Why am I having gas with this and should I cut these out of my diet? I eat all of these separate at times and don't have the gas, but for whatever reason have it with all of them combined. Thanks   Calista: Hi Doctor Cabral, Is it unhealthy to consume burnt pizza crust? Whenever I visit a great pizza place, the crust often has a lot o charred spots on the bottom and edges. I know that the dose makes the poisin, and it's not like I eat pizza every day, maybe once or twice a month, but still - I want to keep that rain barrel as empty as possible ;) Thanks so much for your answer! Much love, Calista   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! Long time listener. I’m 39 with AMH of .03. I’ve completed your functional medicine detox, eat all organic, avoid seed oils, exercise appropriately, ect. I’ve also done testing that revealed candida overgrowth and some chemicals that were overwhelming my immune system. I’ve since cleared the candida, stopped wearing nail polish and started sauna regularly. I also use all clean products and have never taken birth control nor did I participate in any experimental therapy during the pandemic. I had one natural c-vid infection in March of 2022 and after that went 90 days without a cycle! Is it possible that virus damaged my ovaries? What else specifically can I do to naturally increase my AMH/ward off early menopause? Have you heard of ovarian PRP injections being successful?   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral.. I’ve been tracking my sleep with Oura and lately I’ve been trying to go to bed earlier than my whole life.. Since starting to learn from you I can no longer keep shutting my eyes that sleeping earlier is important for health.. but the thing is that I get 90+ minutes of deep sleep when I go to sleep at 2am or later on off days and whenever I manage to go earlier (around midnight is where I’m currently at), I don’t get enough deep sleep! Even less than an hour sometimes! Could it be that my body is used to my rhythm (hormones?) so it’s difficult for me to get into the deep sleep phase earlier than it’s used to? I’m really wondering what the cause could be.. please help me figure it out, thanks.. you’re the best!   Sam: Hi Doctor Cabral, I was just listening to a podcast with a registered dietitian who claimed that having a healthy liver and detoxifying it requires consuming animal protein.. That sounded false to me, but I wanted to check what you think about it? Thanks in advance for your answer!   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3075 - - - 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?

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:    Susanne: Hi, I have been taking SSRIs for several years now and want to stop taking them. Since I started with them, I have taken better choices for my health, and now only eat raw home-made food, exercise regularly, prioritize sleep and take nutritional supplements. I want to try to have a child in a few years, and have read that SSRIs can affect the fetus negatively and that there is a risk of developing heart defects in the fetus. My GP thinks it's ok to take the medications, but I have my doubts when I read the research myself. Is it possible to stop using SSRIs without impairing the quality of life? If so, how can I do it? I will do it in collaboration with my doctor. Thank you! Best regards, Susanne   Tiana: Hi, always appreciate the insightful discussions you bring to light. Lately, I've been delving into the fascinating topic of Crossinology brain integration. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this approach. Thank you for sharing your valuable insights on the podcast!   Lara: Hi, dr. C. As I’m slowly moving through the IHP course, I’m wondering how I will be able to to this as my job if I’m based in Europe. EquiLife doesn’t ship to my country and even if I ship it to UK or Italy and try to get it from there (additional cost), the shipping from the US is so expensive. Now, I know you don’t charge more for shipping & try to reduce the cost as much as possible, but still, are there any plans for the future to help your IHPs in Europe implement your protocols into their practices? Maybe a European based EquiLife company manufacturing products here? Or a distributor here in Europe? Otherwise they are twice the price for us & I cannot afford them even to help myself with my health problems but so far I haven’t found equivalent products here. Thank you   Chamel: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to start by thanking you for all the work you do in changing lives and truly helping people get to the root causes of their health problems. My question is about puberty-related gynecomastia. I understand the aromatase effect, elevated estrogen, estradiol, elevated testosterone, and elevated prolactin, as well as the underlying health issues and medications like steroids that can cause this issue. However, I am focused on gynecomastia caused by puberty. My question to you is, have you seen breast tissue in men shrink without taking raloxifene or tamoxifen? If so, how was this achieved with hormone balancing? Additionally, what are your thoughts about cryotherapy and cold exposure for potential treatment, as well as fasting and autophagy to shrink glandular tissue?   Jessica: I was wondering if L’Bri natural skin care products are a good brand to use?   Ellie: Hi Doctor Cabral, I frequently experience a sensation of thick phlegm in the back of my throat and upper chest. Occasionally, when I bend over or lie down, I feel pressure in my upper chest. Sometimes, this pressure coincides with a perceived increase in heart rate. I'm a 46-year- old female with a history of childhood bronchitis. However, I don't suspect this is the current issue because I have no breathing difficulties. Do you have any idea what it could be? Thanks so much for all your help!
