1199: Longevity & Anti-Aging, 18:6 Intermittent Fasting, Acid Blockers & Bloating, Cherry Angiomas, Receding Gums, Poison Ivy Prevention, Shingles (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! Tony: my goal is longevity n antiaging.. i practice daily mma jiu jits su and kickboxing.. i am active. i just want great health. tell me what is the protocol for me to have a very healthy all around body in n out. I'm 29yrs old. Molly: Dear doctor Cabral,I'm a health and wellness coach, and listen to your podcast every day. I have to say, I think I learned more from you than I ever did with my other courses, so I want to thank you for that. Now there's something I'm struggling with personally and haven't been able to get to the bottom of it. I really hope you can help. I'm a healthy, 40 year old woman, vegan, meditating every day, exercising 6 days a week, doing 18:6 intermittent fasting. I fall asleep easily around 9.30pm, but wake up every night between 3 and 4 pm, am wide awake and just can't go back to sleep. In the end I doze off an hour or two later, usually just before alarm goes off at 6am. I wake up so tired, and am exhausted and have brain fog throughout the day. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? It would be wonderful if you could give me some tips and ideas what to look for. Thank you so much in advance, much respect, Molly Maci: Hi Dr. Cabral. I recently discovered your podcast and have been listening to several episodes each day. The work that you do is inspiring, thank you! I am a 23 year old female and I have a number of issues going on and would like your guidance on where to begin. I'm currently in school pursuing my Master's in Social Work and due to the intense program schedule, I'm not working and unfortunately, cannot afford lab testing at this time. Both sides of my family have a history of heartburn and acid reflux and my dad is being treated for Barrett's Esophagus. When I started college, I began experiencing heart burn and was put on Omeprazole. I'm no longer taking the Omeprazole as my symptoms have since subsided, but I often get this feeling of having liquid in the back of my throat. There are no burning sensations or pain, but nothing seems to help. I also struggle with constipation and bloating, however, I've been following your recommendation of lemon water to start the morning and using your smoothie guide to try following "liquid before lunch," for the past week. In addition, I have struggled with cystic acne and have been on birth control pills for 7 years and also take 100mg of Spironalactone daily. Lastly, I was diagnosed with anxiety in September of 2018 and take Citalopram daily for that as well. In listening to several of your shows on leaky gut, acne, and anxiety, I've realized that many of my issues could be stemming from my gut. I would like to get off all my medication (other than birth control), but need to know where to start in the process of doing so. Overall, I live a healthy lifestyle, exercising 5-6 days per week (both resistance training and some HIIT/Aerobic exercise), I teach one yoga class each week, and I eat a diet full of protein (however, learning that I probably need more fish and Omega-3's from your podcasts), fruits, and vegetables. I'm 5'11" with a thin stature and as you've discussed, it's more difficult for me to put on muscle than it is to lose fat. I'm planning to do your 21 day detox (likely will have completed by the time this appears on the show), but will wait to begin until I return from Mexico at the end of March. Thank you so much for all that you do and I appreciate you taking the time to provide me with recommendations! Susane: Hi! I have some questions around cherry angiomas. I've always had one or two major ones my whole life, they have never changed and haven't caused any concerns or thoughts, until now. The last half a year or so they have been appearing everywhere on my body all of a sudden at an exponential rate. This makes me worried as I dont want them as of aesthetic reasons, but also because I am wondering if something is wrong. I am 27 years old. Hence, do you know what causes them? Root cause? Can it be due to heavy metals? Been reading that bromide can cause them. How do you think I should address the problem? Do you think they will disappear by themselves as I find the root cause? What do you specific recommend me doing going forwards? What would you do. Thanks. Cody: Hi Dr. Cabral, My dentist tells me I have slightly receding gums. What causes this and what can be done to stop or reverse this? Thanks, Patrick: Hey dr Cabral hope all is well with you and your family. Been feeling great since finding your podcast about 8 months ago and doing your DNS everyday . Now that summer is coming up my question is about poison ivy, me and my kids ( triplets ) go bike riding a lot on trails in the woods and are on soccer fields a few days a week it seems like me and my one son get poison ivy even if we look at it and then it's always the same thing go to the doctor get a Creme that never works go back in a week now covered in it and then get a zpac and it clears right up . What can I do to keep it from spreading all over and treat it naturally. Thank you and keep up the great job your doing. Susan: My 85 year old mother is suffering terribly with shingles. Terribly is putting it lightly and it's been for months now! She has been under a Dr's care but it seems like nothing really can be done. He finally took her off of hydrocodone because she was becoming addicted to it. Both my mother and my mother in law are urging my husband and I to get the "shingles shot", they are so worried about us getting the shingles. We are 55 and I personally have never even gotten a flu shot. What are your thoughts about getting the shingles shot? Thank you!

1198: Fibroid Tumor, Lymphocytes Elevated, Placenta Capsules, Swollen Glands, Carb Rebalancing, Childhood Seizures (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: Maria: Dr Cabral thank you for all you do. Your passion and dedication are really inspirational. I had a big fibroid tumor removed from the uterus via c section and now I am terrified of ever growing another one. What markers should I monitor in blood work/lab work to make sure my levels are ok and not conducive to growing fibroids? Also I'm still struggling with mild acne and my cholesterol and TSH are still elevated on the most recent blood work (total chol 210, LDL 123... TSH 3.38, free T4 1.14, free T3 2.4) I did OAT HTMA and Thyroid adrenal hormone tests with your team and followed all supplement recommendations including CBO protocol and CBO finisher. I've listened to all your podcasts and when I did the testing with you guys estrogen to progesterone levels were good. Any help with these areas please? Thank you so much! Erica: Hi Doctor Cabral! I saw & loved your episodes on the Primal Example podcast & Ben Greenfield podcast. I really resonated with a lot of what you said. I'm reaching out because I've been having a host of health issues for the past year that have still been unresolved. I'm 23 years old, and i have dizziness (that feels like i'm walking on a boat / a bobble head) and pretty bad brain fog. Sometimes it goes away, but other times it appears randomly. It does seem to get worse around my period. On top of that, I'll have muscle pulsing, random sensations / feelings as if things are crawling on my body (mostly at night), and headaches that feel like pains on top of my head. Occasionally, I'll have shortness of breath, anxiety, and burp a lot when this happens. All of my symptoms started a lot worse back 10 months ago with bad acid reflux and chest pains, which i mistook for a heart condition (got that ruled out), but I slowly healed my body overtime where I no longer get the acid reflux. I also ruled out MS and lyme disease. To give you some more markers, I became iron deficient / anemic (was at a 6 saturation, now i'm at a 14). I also was told I have h pylori, which i have been trying to heal naturally as antibiotics did not work the first time (I bought your healthy belly product). On top of that, I scored weakly positive for celiac disease (7), but after my endoscopy they were unsure if I actually have celiac or the h pylori was causing the lymphocytes, as none of my villi were damaged. My blood pressure also lowers when standing (87 -> 80), which my doctor said might be an important marker. If you have any advice or a direction I can head in, that would be so extremely helpful. Thank you so much for all that you do! Tayla: Hi :) I don't think this has been discussed on here before..? Placenta capsules are becoming a big thing here in AUS- where after you give birth to your placenta it is placed in a bowl and given to someone to dehydrate and then they encapsulate it (my understanding) for a fee. Not that I am currently pregnant but I thought because of the "health benefits " it promotes for the mother after birth I said I wanted to do it and my partner thinks it's a fad thing and to ask the page ha ha So what does Dr Cabral think about this ?? Thank you :) Krista: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm 33 years old and have had health problems my entire adult life. I was a very active child (and even taught dance through my second pregnancy 10 years ago), but have yet to be able to fully get back on my feet. I have suffered from many ailments over the years (migraines, IBS, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression) but have been able to improve many of them (slowly but surely) through diet and lifestyle changes. I do not take any medications and haven't had any (including antibiotics) in over 10 years. My current challenges are mainly around reoccurring mono (I had it October 2017 and was still recovering from the adrenal fatigue and swollen lymph nodes when I got hit with it again November 2018, due in part to the stress my body went through with the passing of my Father). I'm getting better little by little but it is a VERY slow climb and I want to make sure I'm doing everything I should be to get my body back to 100%. I take a range of good quality supplements (B's, D's, C's, multi, adaptogens, CoQ10, zinc, DIM, NAC) as well as eat a diet free of Gluten and Dairy. I juice celery and greens, eat only organic meats and occasional fish, and eat little to no sugar (occasional maple syrup and agave). I drink lemon-salt water in the morning (to cleanse and for the iodine), Castor Oil Packs, and drink Dandelion tea to help support my liver. I also make sure to take a daily walk most days and just started dry brushing and "jumping'' every day as well. My main symptoms right now are fatigue (still have to take 1-2 naps a day and severely limit my interactions with others) and the swelling of my lymph nodes (goes up and down but always seems to be present one way or another). My question is, what else should I be doing? I plan on eventually taking the OAT and HTMA tests when I can afford it (I suspect I still have some candida issues), but in the meantime should I try the 7-day detox? I'm hesitant only because I don't want to overwhelm my body with detoxification while it is still so weak (also, I took the Clean Gut Probiotic). It felt like PMS times 1000! My tongue also got a slightly white film on it that went away when I stopped the probiotic). Any other tests, therapies, or supplements you'd recommend? I am 5'4", 110 pounds and have to be very careful not to lose weight. Tayla: Hi Dr C, long question ahead but I really appreciate all you do and the extra new speedy delivery system to AUS !! I had an OATs and HTMA test done and got my results from Laura on the 2.11.18 And while there was things I required from equilibrium, my biggest take from the session/test was that I had been to restrictive in my carbs for a long period of time (even though I had weight to lose it was counterproductive) Which I pretty much slowly started adding in more as I went which initially was fine, felt better and no weight gain. About two weeks before Xmas I did a Dr C detox, flew from AUS toNZ for Xmas and had only put on about a kg over the festive time..(also took over Digestive and multivitamin from dr c- had also done a 14 day in July 2018) On the 16th of Jan I started taking my extra tablets cal-mag,zinc, CSE drops, adrenal soothe, clean gut probiotic, iron - as well as the multivitamins.I've put on a few more kgs after Xmas - which in listening to dr C podcast he said it can take 12-16 weeks to stabilize out ? So that's pretty much 6weeks on extra vitamins 15 weeks on slowly increasing carbs and I've gained 3kgs bringing me up to 66kgs at 165cm aged 26. When I was at 63 I felt like I had 3 kgs to lose so I feel and am starting to look like I need to lose weight, especially the upper thighs and middle tummy. I have been a little more relaxed with dinner options and mostly only going for walks/runs as and maybe 2 weights sessions a week compared to previously when I was doing more weight sessions a week. But on a usual day I was only really adding 100-120g of sweet potato to my lunch and dinner and if I felt like it I'd have 30g oats on a Tuesday and Thursday morning but not always. Is this enough to really throw my body out and start gaining weight or is this still my body adjusting ? I have re listened to the coming off a low carb diet podcast. But still unsure on what I should do. As for the weight gain , I can step up the exercise but how do I work out what my body needs in terms of how much etc I know you have to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight but usually your carbs get cut .. and that's how I've put myself out of sync/ in the mess I am in now ha ha If you can help I'd really appreciate it because I just don't know how much carbs I should be adding in and for how long to fix myself and then when taking them away to lose weight is okay ? Tayla :) Jen: Hi Dr. Cabral! A friend's daughter started having seizures at about 2 months of age. The seizures became progressively worse and she was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms. She has had extensive stays at the hospital since this started. They have tried everything doctors have recommended including: 13 different medications, medical marijuana, keto diet, and brain surgery. I think they noticed small improvement with the keto and a few other things they tried. But she still continues to have seizures. She is now almost 3 years old and has about 60 seizures per week. They were told she has a rare genetic deletion called DEPDC5. Have you seen something similar in your practice? Are you familiar with this genetic deletion? To my knowledge they have not explored holistic and functional medicine. What next step would you recommend or lab testing in order of importance? Thank you for everything you do!

1192: Ear Grommets & Adenoids, Iodine Skin Test, Low Libido, IBS-C Fix, EDTA Topic, Autism & Glutamtes (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! Wansima: Hi Dr Cabral, My 2 year old son has had his adenoids out and ear grommets put in at 15 months. He is now 2 and his grommets have come out and I see the symptoms of the constant runny nose and cough come back. I have heard that food sensitivities can sometimes cause these symptoms and kids are getting these procedures done when it could have possible been avoided. What are your thoughts on this? I have ordered the equilibrium food sensitivity test for him and also had him dairy and gluten free for 6 months! Thanks for bringing your amazing knowledge to us listeners every week. Mel: Hi Dr Cabral! May I get some feedback on Lugol's Iodine please. My thyroid levels are in the 'optimal' range but when I paint a hand size amount of Lugols Iodine on my skin it fades generally within an hour or two. Do I need to keep doing this or not? (Thyroid levels were taken before I started painting the LI) I asked on your FaceBook page but no one was familiar with it and it was suggested I ask here instead.Many thanks Mel Cristian: Hey Dr Cabral. Great show. I put everyone I know onto it. My question is, is there anything from your practice whether it be advice or supplements a man in his early 30's can do to aid his sex life in his marriage? Really fit, active person. I eat healthy foods like you recommend. Do 12 hr fasts and most of what's in Rain Barrel Effect book. Otherwise healthy but struggle to maintain erections for long periods like I used to when I just got married in mid 20's. I don't know if it was the years of porn which I gave up a year ago, a physiological or psychological issue but if you can recommend anything, even in short-term I'd be most appreciative. Thanks. Hanna: I struggle with IBS-C and it is incredibly uncomfortable, can you give any advice on how to help this? Thank you for all that you do! Larissa: Hi Dr. Cabral! I LOVE listening to your podcasts. I've been listening everyday for a couple years now. You are an incredible human. I'd love to hear a Friday Review of the benefits of EDTA... and any other specific herbs/supplements used as a part of the heavy metal detox. Thank you! Krista: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have two pre-teen/teen sons with multiple tics (technically they would be diagnosed as having Tourettes Syndrome). They have some other issues as well including some digestion stuff (including food sensitivities), anxiety, OCD, and occasional eczema. Several years ago we stumbled on a woman, by the name of Dr. Reid, and her TED talk which basically explains her discovery of the effect of free-glutamates on the brain. By altering her daughters diet to eliminate nearly all glutamates (including those from supplements, citric acid, protein shakes and other sources), and including a good amount of veggies and cleansing herbs, her daughters Autistic 'symptoms' completely disappeared! As soon as she was exposed to glutamates again, like when eating out, her symptoms returned. We have since joined a fb support group and have met several other families with the same results - not only for those dealing with autistic symptoms, but other neurological issues as well including what my boys have. We have followed this diet (about 90%) for the last several years and have had both of our sons symptoms decrease DRAMATICALLY (one of them no longer has tics at all). That said, we still see a need for improvement which is why I am currently having them take your OAT and HTMA tests. Here are my questions : Are you familiar with Dr. Reid and the success' she is finding with this protocol? And also, if my kids are responding positively to a decrease in glutamates, should I be concerned with ADDING sources of glutamates (such as protein shakes, supplements, and most notable L-glutamine) in an effort to heal their gut? My concern here is that in my effort to help them, I will be adding to their glutamate load and they will regress from the progress we have made so far. I appreciate your work and especially your desire to continue to learn (a sentiment I too share). If you haven't yet seen it, I will link up the 10-minute TED talk I first stumbled on for your own edification. Would love to hear more of your thoughts on this in a future podcast once you've had the time to review it! unblindmymind.org 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 & Resources: http://StephenCabral.com/1192 - - - 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.

1191: No Bloat Diet, Excess Hair Growth, Earthing, Ulcer Fix, Menopausal Muscle, Sahara Dust (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: Kaitlin: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm a lost 22 year old college student. I have had lots of issues for about 5 years now. It started with pain in my upper abdomen, bloating, and constipation after I ate. Lasted on and off for 4 years, then suddenly the pain went away and bloating and constipation remained with no change in diet or supplementation. I was diagnosed with IBS about a year ago and have been trying to follow the Low FODMAP diet however I am still experiencing low energy, tiredness, brain fog, and am unable to lose weight even though I eat very well (in school for nutrition) and workout frequently. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge! Anastasia: Hello Dr Cabral :) I have a question about a sensitive topic and something I'm pretty ashamed about. I'm a 24 year old female with excess hair growth on my nipples, the chest area between my breasts, my stomach and some annoying hairs on my neck. Naturally I'm incredibly embarrassed and don't feel very feminine. This also really takes it's on toll on me mentally. I've had some pretty dark days. I've had it for as long as I can remember from puberty. My mother, sister and other female members in my family also have it. Years ago when I was 15ish I had the ultrasound to see if I had PCOS and it came back with nothing because I didn't have any cysts on my ovaries, but obviously I am pretty clued up now and realise that you don't have to have cysts on the ovaries to have PCOS. I'm planning on doing the adrenal hormone test soon to check everything that could be going on, but I guess what I would like to know is there anyway to help reduce the hair growth through diet etc? Like is it actually possible or will I be stuck with it forever? :( I get laser/IPL treatment on the areas which I'm sure isn't great for me, but I have some serious confidence and body image issues from it so I have to do something to make myself feel better. Thank you so much for all that you do for this community. I can't tell you how much I have learnt since discovering you! You are an incredible human being. James: Hi. I just watched 1 of your podcasts, it was about 2 &1/2 hours long, very interesting. You mentioned many things, but when you mentioned the sympathetic and parasympathetic mode and 1 of the guys in podcast asked you best ways to get into parasympatic mode you did not mention something that I have been doing now for about a year. Have you tried or ever heard of earthing? It is amazing, and amazingly simply, its simply that we rarely have skin contact with the negative ions of the earth. Just being grounded, changes our bodys mode from sympathetic mode to parasympathetic, it lowers your heart rate, it thins the blood, there are over 21 studies about this. They had a study where at penn state hospital they even grounded Premature babies in incubaters and found what great health effects it had on them including improved vagal tone. Dawn: I have what seems to be something like an ulcer that won't heal. It is always in the same spot and when I'm eating very healthy it don't feel it as much, but coffee, processed foods ect make it burn. It isn't an excruciating pain but just a minor burning sensation all the time. What worries me the most is it's been a year now without it healing. I'm also not sure if it is in fact an ulcer. I went to regular doctors and they gave my antacids and they didn't work at all, I was tested by breath and stool for hpylori and both negetive. I had an ultrasound of my abdomen and nothing showed up. I went to a naturopath and they kind of brushed me off just saying it probably inflammation. I am 35, healthy, eat well besides some occasional flex meals. Do you know what it could be and other possibilities? and what would be the best tests to find out? Thank you so much! Mary: Dr. Cabral, Thank you for your very interesting and informative podcasts. I am very interested in learning how the change in hormones after menopause affects the ability to build muscle. I know we start losing muscle at a certain age, but is there a way to train specifically to combat any hormone changes that may limit how much muscle we are able to build. Is it just about nutrition and strength training consistency, or is there more we as women can do to combat the negative affects of aging on muscle growth? I have been somewhat successful at the age of 55,(I have been trying for 40c 30f 30p macros) but I would really like to learn what is going on within the female body at a later age that may limit us and ways to possibly combat it.Thank you! Darrell: Hey Dr Cabral. I'm not personally affected by the Sahara Dust but my friends and some family members are. It exacerbates sinus issues, nasal allergies, asthma etc. Are there any recommendations you have to deal with this? We're in the Caribbean region and this is a regular issue. Any help you can provide will be appreciated.
