1283: Women vs. Men Training & Nutrition, Hot Flashes, Binge Eating, Fungal Overgrowth, Scleroderma (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! Zoe: Hi dr. Cabral, I'm very curious about your opinion on the differences in workout and nutrition strategies between men and women. Do you think men and women need to work out significantly differently? And if so - what do you feel works best for each? And I would love to know what you think about macronutrient intake. Do you think men and women need the same ratio of fats, carbs and protein or is there difference in how our body utilizes it and how we burn it? I appreciate your opinion so much, and can't wait to hear your thoughts about this! Thanks s million! Zoe. Caitie: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for all that you do, listening to your podcast and reading the rain barrel effect has impacted my life greatly for the better! I'm writing you about My 55 year old mother. She seems to be starting menopause. She goes from freezing cold to a hot flash with lightheadedness seemingly randomly. The hotflashes seem to be worsened by stress. The hotflashes are almost unbearable and keep her up most nights. Her last period was over 90 days ago. She started black cohosh with no help. She's been talking ashwaganda for 6 months and that has help substainally with brain fog and mood balance until as of Recent. Do you have any recommendations as to what types of things might help her symptoms during this time? Or do you think that this could be something other than menopause contributing to this? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Anonymous: Hello Doctor Cabral, I was hoping you could address binge eating disorder in a more objective way in terms of explaining why it happens in certain people and if this is a brain-based evolutionary response or the result of an overall imbalance in the body. I have completed the 21-day detox, the CBO protocol, and several 7 day detoxes. During all protocols, I felt amazing during the first couple weeks as I modeled the 3 meals a day habit and daily 12 hour fast, but then I began to develop an intense desire for foods not on the lists during the 2-3rd weeks. This was not like a typical craving for sugary, starchy, or processed foods, but almost a primal desire to binge on any kind of food (nuts, nut butters, hommus). This has never happened to me before these protocols, but after reading about binge eating disorder, it lead me to question if the food restrictions in the detox or CBO protocol can unintentionally trigger binge eating in some people that have this genetic tendency. I know you operate under the idea that this lifestyle "allows" you to eat healthy foods rather than "restrict" unhealthy ones, and you don't believe in counting calories or complete restriction with the use of flex meals. However, for me on all occasions, this behavior was very immediate and was not something I felt like I could change my mindset about or talk myself out of, for it felt like my brain was convincing me that it was a survival necessity to binge. Chris: Hello, So I'm a 20 year old male and have been suffering with what I think is some type of fungal overgrowth in my intestines for a couple years. I was diagnosed with Lyme disease when I was 17, and I took a month of doxycline, two months of monocycle, and two months of tindamax. Ever since I took the minocycline I have felt completely out of it. It feels like I am living in a dream. I have terrible fatigue, ZERO libido, joint pain, and many food intolerances that I never had before in life. I have tried every candida diet, enzyme, and herbal supplement possible, and am beginning to lose hope. Nothing is giving me any relief at all. I took a neurotransmitter test and both my serotonin and dopamine are off the charts low. Also, I noticed that my symptoms get much worse when I eat fermented foods like milk kefir. I was wondering if you think that you would be able to help my condition. Thank you, Chris Amelie: Hi Dr Cabral -Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge.35 year-old female here. I was recently diagnosed with localized scleroderma in the hands (mostly) and feet.I ran a comprehensive blood panel test (thyroid, blood, electrolytes, DHEA, minerals etc) everything came normal except a very low total T3 (60 over a 76-181 ng/dL range) and a very high PTH (84 over a 14-64pg/mL range).I have had Raynauld (resulting from scleroderma) for 18 years and didn't know the actual underlying issue (at least seeing the symptoms over the last 6 years) was scleroderma.So basically, calcinosis of the connective tissue.I have very tight swollen and painful fingers. My hands become numb and tingling with a burning (like fire) feeling when I sleep. Excrutiatingly painful.Not sure if it is the side effects of formation of calcium crystals in my hands.After lots of reading, I started supplementing with D3/K2. Also, I am trying to eliminate as much greens and bets and other oxalate-forming foods since Is suspect they aggravate my condition.Any thought? Recommendations on what to do or start from? Note: the cause has been linked to extreme endurance sports (running, cycling, triathlons) for the last 19 years that affected my thyroids, and two bouts of anorexia 18 and 15 years ago (with 12 years of amenorrhea).Thank you so much for anything you can help with.

1282: Skin Elasticity, Red Meat Recommendation, Whiplash, Dermatographia, Plant Based Meat, DNRS Training, Daily Fasting (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: Isabelle: Thanks so much for your extraordinary work Dr. Cabral. I've been having hormone and adrenal issues for a decade that became at times debilitating around age 27. Since that time I began making radical changes in my diet and taking high-quality supplements. I have maintained a very healthy all organic diet for 5 years now, supplementing for adrenal, gut and thyroid health for the past 3 years. Starting from ovulation until a few days before my menstrual cycle my energy levels plummet and starting from a few days before my cycle, like clockwork, I lose water weight and have insomnia plus way more energy. I know that my estrogen levels are normal but dominant. I'm 32 years old and I've started noticing a rapid loss in the collagen in my skin and an increase in cellulite all over my legs as well as sagging skin under my chin and neck. The skin all over my body is aging stunningly fast which is strange considering how young I am and how well I take care of myself. What would cause such rapid aging of skin elasticity? Christinna: Hi Stephen.I am such a huge fan of everything you do and I have also had a 3 mounth program with one of ur health coaches. I am a vatta and at the time my energi and Iron was low, i did all of the test, the thyroid adrenal hormoner and hair and tissue. So as she looked at the test, She suggest twise a week red meat. My quistions is, why? I am mostly vegan and all the pp. Around me. Says that meat is bad, i hang out with many vegans and I fell like such a bad person. I also want my girl to be vegan, yet my husband will not be vegan and I am just so torn and upset. I read all books on health, one half says i will harm my health if i dont eat a little meat and I don't want to harm me, but even more my daugther. I am upset, because i dont want to support the meat industri. It is hurtig my marrige and I just want my girl to at least be able to know whats going on with the animals, but she is only 2.Please share some light. Kind regrad Christinna Rick: Best podcast I've heard. Thank you so much for the info you share. My question: What can I do to speed up recovery of my whiplash?? My neck has been stiff and painful for over 8 MONTHS NOW!! It has affected my life in many many ways and while I've had slow minor improvement- I am still suffering. (Hit a pole trying to swerve around a car that abruptly stopped while) I'm afraid I might be dealing with this the rest of my life... I've tried acupuncture, many rounds of PT, Orthopedic, no help from GP, Neurology at MGH, mri and xrays show as "normal". I've tried light exercises, heavy exercise, weights, cardio, rest... just can't shake it!! Thanks so much for your help. I will be scheduling an appt in the near future with your team for other reasons as well. Michael: I am 35 and I am struggling with dermatagraphia. It started 1.5 years ago after coming through a stressful time. I also got sick a couple weeks prior to first sign of issue. It noticeably spread, starting in my legs and over 10 days spreading over whole body. When it reached my face it flushed my face for a couple days so that I could not rest it even on a pillow. I have tried many things. Detox programs, 10 day juice fast, leaky gut protocol, a month of keto followed by a 7 day water fast. Nothing seems to help or make it worse. I have tried to identify certain foods that help or make it worse and can't. I have no other issues and am otherwise healthy. Have not had any medication or even so much as an aspirin since I got sick before the issue started 1.5 years ago. Doctors just want to give me anti histamines, which I won't take. It is much better now than at its worse point, but still anytime I get a scratch or bump my skin itches at a 20 on a scale from 1 to 10 and gets red. There is no swelling, just red and intense itching. It also only lasts for a short time. Starting about 20 sec from stimulation, intense itch red skin and then subsides within a minute or two if I leave it alone. Stress does make it worse, I feel like I am throwing darts at a dart board, need guidance. Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! First off, thanks for all you do! Second, I'm curious regarding your thoughts about the plant-based meat substitute. Would this be suitable to eat as I'm transitioning to more of a plant-based diet? If not, what plant-based meat substitutes would you recommend? Additionally, how would you suggest I go about switching to a plant-based diet? I've been eating Paleo off and on for the past few years, but I feel like I'm having a hard time digesting meat now. Thanks so much! Cath: Hi dr Cabral, What are your views or experience with either DNRS training? Specifically for someone with chronic health conditions (ibs/fatigue/hormonal imbalances/ candida/sibo) who has done all the necessary lifestyle and diet changes plus protocols for a number of years (including a page perfect de stress protocol) with recurring relapses. Thank you ! Carey: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm in the IHP program and loving it! Thanks for what you do.I am a woman with Hashimotos who is managing it well with diet, exercise, self care, basically practicing the destress protocol daily.. I practice a daily 12 hour fast, occasionally pushing it to 13 or 14 hours. I've listened to all of your podcasts about fasting and ketosis… Is it best to practice a daily fast, sometimes intermittent fasting and pushing the time a little further, bring predominantly plants based, along with high quality proteins and fats, with Hashimotos? Is there a time you feel is too long for a woman with Hashimotos to fast? Just looking for some guidance on fasting, intermittent fasting, how it could affect a woman with Hashimotos… Thanks very much!

1280: Heavy Metal Toxicity Is Real & Overlooked (TT)
When I was first trying to get my health back I had never even heard of heavy metals...

1279: The 7 Signs You've Become Too Catabolic (Rapid Aging) (WW)
As we age we tend towards becoming more catabolic, which is a nice way of saying our body begins to breakdown faster than it rebuilds...

1277: How to Overcome the 3 Great Ironies of Life (MM)
When we are young we have plenty of time and (hopefully) our health, but no money (or wisdom) to capitalize on it… When we become an adult we have very little time as we begin to accumulate some wealth as our health begins to decline… When we are old we have time and hopefully, money saved, but we no longer have our health… This is how the 3 great ironies of life typically work for most people -the trouble is that you want to be able to enjoy all 3 at the same time in life… I believe we can improve greatly upon this old adage and on today's #CabralConcept 1277 I'd like to show you how - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1277 - - - 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 Supplements: > "The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol" (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake (#1 "All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend (22 organic fruit & vegetables "greens powder") - - - > CBD Oil (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

1276: Scalp Sebum, MCV & MCH Levels, Burned Out, Choosing Internships, Medical Gut Issues (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! Kari: Hi Dr.Stephen Cabral and thank you for taking the time to answer my question today. I'm a 27 yo female living in Brisbane. Within the past year or so I have had about 3 outbreaks of scalp issues. I have had consistent patches of dandruff over this year or so that when scratched too hard often bring blood to the surface and have a burning sensation (similar reaction to when I had full body psoriasis in 2013/14) Although on these 3 occasions I have had what I believe to be sebum build up on the crown of my head. It's waxy and I cannot get rid of it for days at a time. After blow drying my hair or air drying it's a very noticeable build up from crown to about 2 inches down my hair. I have tried tea tree oil shampoos, prescription shampoo (clobex clobetasol propionate 500micrograms/mL), head and shoulders and Selsun Gold. It goes away after a week yet returned within 2 weeks on these 3 overall occasions. Throughout all of this I have not tried to change my diet although I eat 70/30 clean and healthy but don't hold myself back when I want a treat or junk food. I was diagnosed with Celiac in 2012 and I believe my gut is in fine condition, but I have never tried a cleanse. Do you think this sebum build up is gut related? Do you have any advice for how I can get rid of the sebum waxy build up and dandruff forever? Thank you!!! Katie: I recently got some blood work done and my MCV and MCH were slightly elevated so I ran my B12 and folic acid test as well which came back normal. Should I be concerned? Savannah: Good morning! Thanks for your wonderful podcast! The past 10 years I have slowly been acquiring new symptoms. First started with fatigue (spent hours sleeping during the day) Then came painful body aches Now I have migraines & every few days some chest pains(my chest has been X-rayed & no heart problems) Eczema also. Chronic UTIs Chronic strep throat (getting my tonsils out soon) Constipation. Irregular mens cycle I am so tired and often in pain. I suffer from anxiety, depression & OCD. I always feel "on edge" & moody(not my personality). I have a lot of symptoms and don't know where to start. I can't afford hundreds of dollars worth of lab tests. If I could choose one which should I take? Thank you, hope I can find a place to start- feeling overwhelmed! Sinjin: Good morning Dr. Cabral, I am looking to further my education upon completion of IHP L2. I have lots of books lined up to read that are all geared towards the 7 branches of IHP, but seeking for hands on experience working under someone through either an internship or finding a mentor that can teach in person. In your opinion, off the top of your head, who/what/where would be your best recommendation for IHP's to go and experience once becoming certified? I would love to be able to say I am mostly interested in just one healing method covered, but I truly enjoy them all. From personally putting to practice what the natural hygienists have taught, to learning how to read FM labs. I haven't dove much into Hypnosis other than I have been listening to Psycho-Cybernetics while I sleep to see what happens. I would love to visit outside the US or HI to intern and learn but, I don't know where to start! If you don't mind could you give a few recommendations to myself and others out there seeking more experience as well as cultural submersion that will give us more skills to serve others. Thank you! Last time I wrote in was in the 500 episode, congrats on breaking the 1k! Lots of inspiration and guidance you and the team have provided along the way! Gracias! Claudio: appreciate all of the knowledge you share, and it's great that you offer it free to the public. I recently completed the CBO protocol and I'm doing the CBO finisher now from equilibrium nutrition. This has completely healed my severe case of psoriasis, and has improved my digestion! However, my question is for my Father. He had a colonoscopy about 5 years ago. His doctor removed some polyps and found he had diverticulitis in his colon. Since then, he has tried to stay on a low fiber diet, avoid anything with seeds, and tried to avoid high lectin foods. For the past couple months he has been trying to eat healthier and incorporate more veggies into his diet. He recently completed the 21 day Dr. Cabral detox and felt great. However, he was constipated during the last week of the detox. He was eating a lot of dark leafy greens during this time. He decided to cut out the greens, in hopes of resolving his constipation issue. He continued a diet full of veggies, legumes, fish, poultry, and fruit smoothies (with berries). Upon completing the detox, he started the foundational protocol level 2, along with the activated b complex from equilibrium nutrition. The doctor said he could still have diverticulitis throughout his intestines. His mother had the same issue. He has suffered from constipation on and off throughout his life. Do you have any advice for his recovery? Also, do you think leaky gut and diverticulitis are related? Once his final surgery is complete, would starting the CBO protocol and sealing up his gut wall help to get rid of the diverticulitis and prevent perforation formation in the future? Any advice would help. I tried searching for diverticulitis on your podcast and found a brief mention on a house call. Thank you so much!

1275: Mucous Discharge, Social Anxiety, Full Rain Barrel, Psoriatic Arthritis, Elderly Medication (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: Elena: Hello Dr. Cabral! I am so grateful for all the work you and your team does! I am a colon hydrotherapist and listen to your podcasts daily and happily share your name and podcast with my clients. 2 questions. My period has become very mucousy, no other symptoms, regular cycle, no discomfort, just all mucous mixed with blood. It has been going on over a year, should I be concerned? ( I'm 31, no kids, has never been on birth control) Second question- I am currently on day 11th of Dr.Cabral detox, absolutely love it, I lost 8 pounds already, my skin has cleared up, feeling energized, just suffering without my chocolate:) I noticed the whites of my eyes are getting yellow, that happened before when I was doing 7-14 day juice fasts or master cleanse, what could that be? In the past the issue would go away once I get off the cleanse. Many blessing! Elijah: Hello, I was wondering if Dr. Cabral is taking in any more clients? I'm 19 years old and started debilitating social anxiety when I was in my junior year of high school, along with newly manifested tremors (mostly head area, that seem to get worse the more I am experiencing heightened emotions, especially anxiety.) I was just wondering if Dr. Cabral could help me in any way? I ended up dropping out of school my junior year and finishing online. I have also yet to get a job or go to school to pursue my naturopathic degree (kind of my dream lol) because I just cant seem to function. My life seems to be on hold for the past 3-4 years now, trying to find answers. My MD has been NO help, he just prescribed Xanax which I hate taking, due to feeling like an emotionless zombie. His labs which showed that my "stress hormone" (whatever that means) was within normal range just ended up making him and my parents assume it's all in my head. I need help finding answers, I'm tired of doing it all alone. Please let me know if and when he is accepting new clients. Cath: Hi there and thank you for everything. I'll aim to keep this short. I love the rain barrel effect and everything you teach. I've done all your lab tests and protocols, and my nutrition and lifestyle are dialled in. However even prior to readying the book, I was already doing all that stuff. After I over taxed my body in the past, I know the reasons I got Ill with fatigue/digestion/amenhorrea etc. I researched the PNS and Ayurveda and trained in health coaching and have been implementing all I've learned for four years. So I do the nutrition and supplements alongside the lifestyle and mindset. I sleep well and early, and I just don't give up the hope of getting better. I journal, meditate, cultivate love and friendships, pursue purpose in life and I also rest - more than I wish I had to with three children age 7 9 and 12 who I would love to enjoy more. But despite all of this I just haven't been able to heal in four years and still crash, even though I'm careful with exercise , mostly walking and yoga (I'm Vata) with a couple of gentle strength sessions from your starter program. I know the reasons I got ill, and I'm doing everything I can to fix them. What am I missing? I'm careful with the language I use with myself around this as am aware of the power of the subconscious but I really just be missing a trick. Aside from recavitating all my teeth which I can't afford I can't think of what else to do. I'm about a year into your protocols/detoxes/CBO etc after my big huge results and just don't know where to go from here. I'm already working with your coaches having worked with many other coaches in the past. Sorry- this ended up being long! Brooke: I have had psoriatic arthritis for 2 years I'm 68 years old. I take remicade infusions every 8 weeks and methotrexate, 3 pills every 2 weeks. This is all working great but I'd love to go off all this if possible. I don't eat any grains, milk products, or sugar. I take turmeric with black pepper daily and eat mainly organic. Any suggestions??? Sue: Hi dr Cabral! My dad is 71 yo and he just got diagnosed with high blood pressure and irregular heart rhythm. His doctor prescribed some heavy medications to prevent blood clotting/stroke and basically said there was nothing else he could do about it because it's hereditary, plus he was getting older. But I don't buy it! I know you always say there's always an underlying cause of all diseases, which should be treated rather than only dealing with the symptoms. So what would you advise to do about this? And do you have any suggestions what I could do to prevent this happening to me in the future? Thanks in advance for your help and thank you SO much for this podcast and all your incredible health advice. You are a treasure!
