1219: Women's Hormones, PKD Causes, Constipation Enemas, Gut Testing vs. CBO Protocol, Best Fat to Fry In, Coffee/Tea Reaction (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: Catherine: Dear Dr Cabral. Firstly thanks for everything - I've learned so much from you. After my system crashed four years ago you are my last port of call and I'm currently on your CBO protocol and have done the HTMA and food sensitivity and calls with your coach. My next one is the thyroid adrenal hormone and I've signed up for your practice. The stakes for me, as everyone, are very high as I have three children I want to be full of life for. You give me hope because you say if there is one person in your situation who has recovered then you can too. I fully believe this and have never ever given up hope. The issue is I have never seen anyone recover in my situation and many other practitioners have told me it is too late for me, so I am hoping that you can provide hope as I have refused to believe them and keep ploughing on. Im a 42 year old mum of three. I got amenhorrea in my early 20s while marathon training and was told by a gynaecologist that it was fine and would just save my eggs for later (I know, I'm learning not to be angry with this). I spent my 20s on and off the pill with the odd natural period and then my 30s doing IVF. This on top of years and years of antibiotics. After i had my third child i still never got my cycle. I pushed myself to the max doing a part time masters and then endurance training and then my body finally gave up. That was four years ago and I was put on thyroxine and bio identical hormones (oestrogen gel, testosterone cream and progesterone and dhea /7 keto) - mostly to protect my bones as i had already developed osteopenia - in my genes, but i allowed it to express by living a catabolic lifestyle. I trained as a yoga teacher and a health coach and have done everything in the destress protocol for the past four years and continue to do so. I've tried putting on weight but that hasn't worked. I have not done any endurance training for years and do all the vata exercise you discuss - walking, gentle swims and yoga and light resistance training a couple of times a week if i have the energy. My nutrition is pretty perfect, meditteranean based and i use your dns. I keep my mind set positive but it is hard as i go through phases of feeling awful. But I've finally come off the hormones and am writing to you to ask you this: Have you seen anyone at the age of 42, with my training, and amenhorrea history spanning nearly 20 years (with the pill and ivfs sprinkled throughout) ever regain their cycle??? Not one person or practitioner has been able to tell me that this is possible in their clinical history with so very many years of amenhorrea and ivfs. I know I have really damaged my body and over taxed it for twenty years and while I will be doing the thyroid adrenal hormone test anyway and working with your practice, I would just really like to know if you have seen this exact situation before? I know much younger women recover from amenhorrea but I've not seen anyone my age. Would it be better to just accept it and live my best life without chasing that ideal? Jason: Hi, have been a loyal 2 year listener and love your show. Have done a 14 day detox, feel great and love the Rain Barell Book. I have a nervous question though. my Son, an active 14 year old has just been initiallty diagnosed with paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia. I believe in getting to the root of causes but all the doctors talk about is drugs.. are you familiar with this? it looks like it targets a bunch of different areas of brain and nerves. But i'd really appreciate your thoughts and where to start. thanks so much and love all your work. Jason Taylor: Hey Dr. Cabral, thank you for your previous answer my naturopath and I have found a regimen of b vitamins and magnesium that has more or less eliminated the wired and tired feeling. My question today is regarding coffee enemas. I did them daily for several months when my liver was very swollen. my liver has since recovered (not swollen, but sometimes still tender). I was recently advised to stop the enemas after abdominal pain made me go to the family doctor - not Er or anything like that. The first doctor didn't seem phased by my mention of the enemas but the second doctor was adamantly against it. To wrap it up, I decided to stop and it does seem that I had started to do more harm than good with them - mood problems improved and my need for cbd and turmeric seemed to decrease. However I still feel the need to do a coffee enema about once a week as I get incredibly bloated, constipated, and it feels as though fluid is building up in my abdomen. My question: i usually expel hundreds of stones that look like corn, but no corn in diet. For about a month while working with my naturopath I was clear of these stones, and since reducing my enemy frequency am now back to passing a mildly disturbing number of whatever these are. I was curious what your take and opinion was on coffee enemas and what these stones might be. Have seen several theories and will have asked my own naturopath by the time we read this on the podcast so no worries. Thank you for your time and sharing of life knowledge! Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, Absolutely love your work. Discovered you via your Mind Pump interview last year. Thank you for all you do. I'm a relatively healthy woman in my mid-20s. To my knowledge, I have no serious digestive issues or symptoms. However my diet in the past included processed foods, alcohol overconsumption (on a number of weekends in my early 20s), dairy, gluten, etc. My diet has changed a lot since then and I consume primarily seasonal produce and wild caught fish. Right now, I can either afford testing or purchasing the CBO protocol. Which should I do? Or is there no need for either? Tracy: Hello! I have two questions. 1) I asked this in the support group but would love your personal input as well: I know cooking/frying in oil isn't ideal due to the oxidation (even coconut & avocado oil if I am correct?) but would frying in ghee be OK? I am trying to minimise cooking with fat but I do love the taste for some of my meals and do not always want to make them cheat meals. 2) I have a definite sensitivity to caffeine. I stopped drinking coffee years ago and do not miss it, however I often wish I could reap the benefits from things like green tea, matcha, certain caffeinated south American teas etc. However even these make me feel "wired" (and often tired), sometimes slightly dizzy, mild headache etc. What tests would you recommend to discover the cause of this, and should I strictly stay away from green tea? I find it really helpful to drink when fasting to curb hunger and wish I could occasionally have it as a 'pick me up' drink. I have heard that causes can be genetic as well, which would obviously be disappointing :-)... Funnily enough I have no issues drinking caffeinated drinks such as coca cola or energy drinks (although I do keep my consumption to a minimum for other obvious health reasons).

1216: Why You Still Have Food Cravings (WW)

One of the many reasons why intuitive eating does not work until you become completely healthy (in mind & body) is due to the fact that food cravings are not always what they seem… Often times cravings can actually stem from certain metabolic imbalances or nutritional deficiencies… However, these cravings can also come from gut microbiome imbalances or certain dietary manipulations that are quite common practice right now… On today's #CabralConcept 1216 I want to share with you why you still have food cravings and how we can go about rebalancing your body to then better understand and listen to what it needs - Enjoy the show! - - - Show Notes & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1216 - - - 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.

1213: HLA-DR Genes, Ocular Pressure, Worn Out Body, Bunions (Hallux Valgus), Deciding on Holistic Practitioners (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! Anonymous: Hi Doc, First thing I'd like to do is thank you. Great podcast, you're helping a lot of people with all the information shared. Keep it up. I have a mold question in regards to genetics; The most popular mold physician says testing for specific HLA-DR genes is necessary to determine if the body is creating the antibodies to go after the molds in the body. I have what he calls the "dreaded gene" that is found in only 1% of population, meaning multiple sucestibility to mold/lyme/etc as my body apparently doesn't create the antibodies against them. On top of this, I have a MTHFR mutation. So my question is wether this HLA-DR gene testing matters or not? Do the MTHFR/HLA-DR genetic tests all mean the same thing? There is much debate as to the credibility behind this theory so I was hoping to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks! Jenett: Hi Dr. Cabral, My friend was diagnosed with ocular pressure due to an imbalance of eye fluid production. He as told it can lead to glaucoma and blindness. Is there a way to balance this naturally? Thank you! Jenett Marissa: Dr. Cabral, I really appreciate you and all your time spent on sharing your years of reading and knowledge with our community. I found you by my research on Ayurveda and since finding you have listened to almost every podcast you have done. I feel like I have gotten my own "certification" in wellness by having all of this information you have shared. Thank you!! You have helped me, my friends, and my family live better. I have done a DCD, CBO protocol/finisher, heavy metal detox and use your shake, adrenal soothe, CBD, and other products daily. I am a 40-year-old vata body type and enjoy the gym. I like going in the morning (5am) and usually do it fasted. I don't want any food, but some days I have a ½ banana for being vata (per your recommendation.) I have noticed over the years that I cannot do cardio to almost any degree without my muscles getting tight after and I used to get sleepy post the workout (approx. 2-3 hours.) I tried electrolytes during the gym, but it doesn't help. My HTMA markers are normal. I enjoy being active, but have learned to not push it for the past 2 years, thinking that my body is too stressed. I now stick to mainly body weight exercises and no cardio, but I like getting better oxygenation with some increase in heart rate. Also, my morning temperature does not get over 97.6 degrees most days, only on the 2nd half of my cycle. My most recent Dutch hormone test showed my rising morning cortisol had been slightly low and my morning cortisol slightly high, with normal ranges the rest of the day. I test my HRV with my Oura ring and struggle to get that over the 40's. My TSH in the past was between 5-9 and now is lowered to 2-3 with the help of Armour Thyroid at its lowest dosage. Why can't my temperature, HRV go up? If you met me you wouldn't think I had a low energy. I am lean and not overweight. I want to get all metabolism markers higher. Any guidance would help! Mrs M: Dear Dr Cabral, I have searched but found no results regarding bunions (hallux valgus.) Can you recommend a natural treatment that does not involve surgery? I did a Google search and found all kinds of splints / straps / bandages and toe separators. I would very much appreciate if you could share any ideas on how to remedy this situation. I have only just begun to experience pain, I do not have a large growth and it's only on my one foot. The big toe only points towards my other toes slightly. My mother and grandmother had it quite badly (my mother had hers removed surgically.) I have large, wide feet (European Size 43) which makes finding comfortable, well-fitting shoes for work (office job) nearly impossible. I'm also a runner but do not yet feel much pain when running (yet?) Would very much like to avoid surgery if possible. Thank you in advance for your help and feedback, it is very much appreciated. Mrs M. Katie: Hi Dr. Cabral, This is the second time I've written in to the Cabral concept and instead of listing symptoms, I'd like to ask you a more over-arching health question. I'm in my late 20s and have been struggling with physical and mental health issues for most of my adult life. As a young woman I made most of my mistakes early on because I was ignorant to the health care system and honestly wasn't a great advocate for myself. I allowed health professionals to diagnose and prescribe medication without questioning any of their methods. I thought doctors were altruists who cared for my well being and ultimately wanted to heal their patients. I was very wrong. I have a deep sense of distrust of doctors and although I see more healing in the natural medicine and holistic industry, I still find myself questioning whether the treatments will work. It's a different business than the traditional health care industry, but a business none the less. How do you, I, or anyone for that matter, sift through all the information out in the world today, and how do we know who to trust? Sometimes I wish life came with an instruction manual. I'm feeling defeated and would love your insight. Thanks for always spreading your knowledge and positivity.

1212: Eczema, Early Greying, Spore-Based Probiotics, Charcot Marie Tooth, Low RDW Blood Count (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: Samantha: Hi Dr. Cabral! So happy my mom turned me on to you. I will get straight to the point! I have been getting small eczema patches on my forearms the last few winters (I am 28yo female) when never having them before. They started to show up in August of 2018, a lot sooner than I was expecting. My mom bought me a food sensitivity test (thinking there was a correlation) and low and behold I had high reactions to eggs, barley and wheat. Once I cut those out on elimination diet, my skin cleared! 30 days later I reintroduced one at a time to see reaction, and I have been dealing with the worst flare up of my life ever since (It is now March). My skin went crazy! Both my arms became covered and there were times when my skin was literally hot to the touch. I obviously cut out eggs and gluten, and eventually dairy, alcohol, nightshades, legumes and meat. My skin finally has started to calm down a bit. I took the stool test and was positive for E. Coli, Blastocystis Hominis, and some yeast (NG of candida, though). Starting parasite cleanse soon and also just purchased OAT to get more answers. My question is, is there a correlation between parasites/E. Coli and food sensitivites? Is it possible to eventually reverse these sensitivities? My diet is so restricted right now and losing too much weight, but it is the only way to keep my skin from being on fire and extremely itchy. Thank you for all of your guidance and the positivity you spread daily! I know this will be a while before it answered. I hope it can help someone else out there as well. Thank you! -Sammy Samantha: Hi! My name is Samantha and I love your approach on treating disease and other common health issues. For about a month now, I have been experiencing immense pain in my back, arms, and legs. I am 19 years old and I have been lifting weights for about three years. Lately, whenever I weight lift I get light headed, shaky, my feet get cold, and chest pain. It it is like my entire body has been drained of energy when I barely started my workout. I have went to many conventional doctors and they gave me diagnosis such as GERD, but I have had no improvement. I would love to hear your opinion and hopefully get some insight on what is wrong with me and how I can treat it, holistically. I eat a very balanced diet and I am always active, so I would really appreciate your help. Thank you! Ella: Hi Dr Cabral. I've recently come across your podcast through Melissa Ambrosini and I'm obsessed. Just wanted to say thank you for all your free information. My concern is this: I'm 22 years old and started getting grey hairs at 20/21. It's rapidly progressing and I find more and more every day. I've started to dye my hair because I am so self-conscious of going grey so young. Everyone tells me it's genetic but my intuition tells me something deeper is going on. The last 2 years of my degree was when this happened and I was stressed out of my mind (14 hour study days, no breaks, bad sleeping patterns, etc). I was also vegan for 6 years and am a vata body type (i've been transitioning out of this now after concerns that my overall health is depleting). I dont eat gluten but am always gassy or bloated after meals and sometimes feel so full and gross i dont want to eat. Can you please help me see if this is a mineral deficiency or if it's hormonally based? Which tests should I run? Thanks so much. Hannah: Hello hello! I was curious to know your opinion on spore-based versus non-spore based probiotics. So thankful for all you do! Stephanie: Hi Dr Cabral ... cannot thank you enough for all that you do! Your energy and enthusiasm is infectious. i tell just about everyone I know about you and your podcasts! I'm Writing a question on behalf of a friend who was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth disorder - her feet go numb and sometimes her legs. The doctors say it's hereditary and there is no other insight provided - how, why, what exactly is going on. Have you ever encountered this disorder? Are there tests you would recommend to find out if there is something internal going on that could be fixed that would also help this? Thank you for any insight! Darrell: Hey Dr Cabral. I am a regular voluntary blood donor but recently my blood count has been hovering around 13.5 which the nurse say is lower than normal for males. I am 34, weigh around 153, 5'6 height, vata pitta body type, really ripped, fit, no known issues. Is there anything that can be causing the low count, is it a cause for concern. Is there any product, supplement, herb or lifestyle recommendation I can take to boost the count.
